Hello and welcome to the Keeper Cup podcast, Chad Young and Pete Ball back with you after a couple of weeks off.

Just summer vacations and kids camps and peep being out of work is not out of work like something bad.

That makes sound like you're out of work.

Pete being out of school because he works in a good way.

See, there we go.

Yeah, summer off.

Just a lot going on.

And it's been a challenge, but we got back together.

And it's just in time for the midpoint of the season, the

unofficial midpoint of the season.

We're basically, we're getting real close to the All-Star break.

That means it's time to look back at the first half.

Yeah, it's exciting.

You know, Chad, the All-Star rosters were released today.

And you know what is a huge pet peeve of mine?

And you'll have to forgive me if I've gone on this rant before.

I can't stand people complaining about who got left off the roster.

Like I understand it's frustrating.

It stinks if it's your hometown team guy. And like George Spring,

everybody's piling on Julio Rodriguez. The guy didn't pick himself, man. Like, I get it. There's a lot

of people that should be there instead. I saw a Royals fan complaining about someone. I can't

remember who they were upset didn't make it. And I can't think of who in the Royals they would even be upset about.
