Graham Rick how you doing uh is fantasy baseball going well for you thus far we were just

talking about how poorly we're doing in our pitcherless staff leagues yeah I mean it's only a month

in so it's been going you know accordingly I suppose it I suppose. It's, um, you know, some ups and downs across the

board. But, um, yeah, there's, there's only, with the exception of your, the league, you know,

your home league, uh, I think I have a chance in every other league, but I think I've just been

decimated so badly by injuries in your home league that I

that's going to be a tough for I'm trying to figure out ways to make up ground there and it's

it's it's it's it's it's it's been tough yeah you've been decimated by injuries on your fantasy

teams and in your heart as the Red Sox have been destroyed by injuries yeah I mean we

in one of uh we're in a dynasty league.

Um, I'm in a dynasty league with one of our, you know, PL contributors, Estabio

Maximo and he's, he's got Raphael Devers and he's like, he was asking me because he

knows I'm a Red Sox fan.

He's like, do the Red Sox not believe in the IL?

Like, why is Devers not going to the IL he's been out for like five days I'm like no I think their IL is just full they have their slots are full at the moment they can't add him to it because I mean they're running a fantasy team yeah I mean there's literally like half the team is already on the injured list so's, I mean, what are you going to do?

At least it's early in the season.
