Hello and welcome to the In The Pen podcast, a podcast about relievers part of the Pitcherless Podcast Network.

My name is Jake Crumpler, and as always, I'm joined by pitcherless bullpen expert.

Rick Graham, Rick, how's it going?

Yeah, how's it gone?

Yeah, it's going well.

You know, we're in the grind of the middle of August as football season starts to overlap.

So trying to stay focused and ignore all the football talk, fantasy football talk on Twitter and whatnot.

And, you know, finish out the baseball

year strong.

A lot of, a lot of leagues on the line here of the next couple weeks.

So, yeah, you know, this is kind of that make or break part of the year, especially

when we're going to obviously talk about relievers here.

And there's still a lot of kind of moving parts as far as who's closing

for what teams and you know even like as far as holds go there's a lot of injuries and guys

coming back from injury recently so yeah still still you know a good month of the season left

if or maybe even more if you play it out to the rest of the year so yeah a lot a lot of things can change and a lot of things can happen from here until the end of the season left, or maybe even more, if you play it out to the rest of the year. So, yeah, a lot, a lot of things can change and a lot of things can happen from here until

the end of the year. Yeah, we are getting a lot of change in the relief world this month as,

there's still going to be a lot of transactions that will be, you'll be able to take advantage

of in September if you're, you know,

looking for saves or whatever in fantasy.

But, you know, the best way to ignore fantasy football content on Twitter is to block

anybody that mentions the word football.
