Hello and welcome to the in the pen podcast, part of the pictureless podcast network.

This is a podcast about relievers.

My name is Jake Crumpler.

And as always, I'm joined by Rick

Graham and we are actually in the same room because this is first pitch Arizona and we are live

from Arizona right now. Rick, how's it going? It's going great. It's yeah, glad to be here. Both of us,

first time, first time, first pitch Arizona, attendees. It's been a blast so far um yeah this is

kind of our first time meeting first time doing a podcast in the same room so you know it's

it's going to be a good one hopefully i got to say you're more handsome in person than i mean

your mustache is yeah it is throwing me off too.

Well, it's been a pretty eventful weekend already, and that was definitely helped by the fact that we got here as the World Series was ending.

It was played in Arizona.

Unfortunately, we were not blessed enough to be able to go to the world series like many of

our co-workers or industry mates out here but that world series ended the rangers took down

the arizona diamondbacks in the what was that the fifth game of the world series

and we did have some bullpen things to talk about for that.

I think mostly there were a couple of relievers, one on each team that sort of stood out

in a positive way, and then also one closer on the Diamondbacks that really didn't

live up to the standards that he had set for himself in previous seasons.

But I guess this leaves us a spot to talk about Kevin Ginkle, Josh Spores, and Paul Seawald.

Do these guys change in your mind based off of their postseason performances?

I think for me, Seawald is one that I think is more volatile and less trustworthy
