as well as everything else under the baseball sun, where have Corbin, Carol and I been. There's a hint coming who's gotten injured, the best bets and more.

0:44.0

Baba, you were hanging out with the fantasy baseball elite last week. So I just wanted to get a little quick recap any good stories, who was the drunkest tell me some good stories.

0:55.0

We're not going to do that on the show. Well, we know who was we know who was most drinky drink. You know, you know, you know, had a great time. You know, had a great time. Everyone knew it. We love it for that. That's what makes you know, you know,

1:07.0

but it was an awesome time. It felt like a pass. Like I don't even remember. I was watching Strider a lot, obviously, but when Strider wasn't on the mound, I could probably not care a whole lot about the game.

1:16.0

It was, it was just ridiculous hanging out there and having a good time and watching some a great team dominate a bad team.

1:23.0

Okay, that's good. I mean, that's a very good way to say it. Nick Pollock, yourself, Eno Saris. I'm trying to adjust in Mason.

1:30.0

And Sammy Reed, Jake Frumpler from Pitchellist was there. Steve Leandress was there. There's there. Daniel was there. The important Mason was there.

1:40.0

So there's a salad. I should say, but yeah, that's a ton of good people. Yeah, it's a good, good people. And I was just jealous that I wasn't there. So come on out to

1:49.0

for months, couple of months. Right. Yeah, come out and hang out with us where baseball is going to be thriving. And we'll be talking about a lot of offseason stuff whips right here was saying Arizona was hot this weekend.

1:59.0

Apparently, whips you come out to Arizona for a fantasy football draft. How does Welsh live there? It is hot. I have a pool though. So that's how we live here.

2:07.0

I've told so many people because I always want to retire like in the Arizona Scottsdale areas somewhere out there. People go, it's so hot. I'm like, you have air conditioning and swimming pools. That's what you do people. It's very simple.

2:16.0

My air conditioning never goes off. I have swimming pools. The only thing is Arizona used to be the place where you go when it's like, hey, you don't want to live in California because Arizona is cheaper. It's not much cheaper anymore. So that has changed a little bit.

2:27.0

But thank you guys for hanging out with us as always. If you guys got some fantasy questions, you can pop them in the chat. If you guys are watching us live, we will try to get to those if we can.

2:36.0

And let's get right into it for this Monday edition of leading off Felix Batista. The mountain hits the IL with what was being described as some form of a UCL injury. That all but hits to home for all of us with the UCL injury world.

2:52.0

Yeah, near Kenno protected a one run lead in a perfect night, getting a save on Saturday against Rockies. I didn't look on Sunday. Actually now that I'm thinking about it. But Kenno ends up being what in my mind was not just like the top option, but like instantly like a top 12 to 15 closer.

3:12.0

I play in an auto league, which is on fan graphs. And I'm really pissed off about it because I need closers bad. And I put an auction out on Kenno for 10 bucks. And I thought that was aggressive.

3:24.0

He locked in last night for $11 and I wanted to kick myself for it. But like that's a lot of money for a free agent way away our guys. So Batista, this injury and Kenno is a replacement bubble. What he got?

3:37.0

100% it's Kenno all the way. He was the top guy to target this week. And you know, one of the best teams is in baseball. Batista has been getting saved after save. Kenno is going to get his fair share.

3:46.0

You know, Tanner Scott would have been your alternative option. If you couldn't get him, but big difference in the team quality with this. So I'm with you on Kenno. Great like elite stuff to start the season scuffle the mid season. He's been back to pretty close to elite form.
