Welcome to the Sunday night, Monday morning, Roto Wire, Fancy Baseball podcast.

This is we're talking about some mid-round starting pitchers and a second installment

of things about baseball we actually do like in these trying times.

Jeff, we got another day where it looks like the baseball labor stuff is not good. So we're going to talk about some talk about baseball we like, but more importantly, how are you? I'm good, except for the things that

we don't like about baseball, but I didn't have much hope. I'm not really all that. I mean,

it's like, well, okay, this is, it's the worst case scenario, which was the more like the 90%

likelihood scenario. Anyhow, so, okay, moving on. Yeah, I was thinking maybe we had like a little miracle couple days in here to work stuff out. But I mean, obviously, we've talked about a lot, been pretty pessimistic. It seems like if you believe any of the quotes and stuff today, and obviously, you know, take all those of the grain of salt. It seems like they are, they're pretty much deadlocked at a point where someone's going to have to, someone's going to have to really kind of cave at some point. And I don't think that happens until, you know, someone starts to feel some, some economic stress from this whole thing. Yeah. I tried to wait in at one point today. And I was like, wait, what am I doing? Just, you know, it is what it is. And moreover, I don't think I'm going to persuade anybody at this point in time. And I got, I should probably stop trying it. It's just now it's almost like I'm living in my own little echo chamber. So I'm just, we're going to focus on players and focus on things we like about baseball, right? Exactly. I agree. I mean, we got to, we'll have some announcements this week on maybe some more canceled games and you and I have to decide on some live drafts and stuff, but obviously, you know, small problems in the in the world. But it's, it's been a frustrating few weeks. I think that we all want baseball back. And I think the argument on Twitter

gets to be that I think everybody just wants the same result at some point. But I agree with

you, the back and forth. And whose fault is this is, you're not going to change anybody's mind at

this point. Right. Including mine. I mean, I'm just as guilty. I'll be honest. Yeah. I probably

just as guilty as everybody else that's just making up my mind on who's,

who's good, who's evil, what's right, what's wrong.

It's not about fairness.

It's about, it's about leverage.

It's about this getting done.

So I'm just going to move on and we're going to go from there.
