Welcome to episode number 67 of the Chris Rose Rotation, a production of John Boy Media,

and we welcome in Pirates pitcher Stephen Brawl, who is now back home safely in San Diego,

but he doesn't have anything that actually belongs to him with him right now.

That includes his car, his computer, or anything else meaningful to him over the next several months. Did I pretty

much get it all? Yeah, yeah, you nailed it. This is a, this is like the moving in period for me.

All I have is a suitcase of clothes and a dream. You know what I mean? A dream of the offseason.

Watching playoff baseball. That's what I'm doing.

I haven't even unpacked my suitcase. It's like I don't even live here. It's like I'm staying in

hotel. It's a, I don't know. It takes a while to get pack into the swinging thing.

All right. So just real quickly, before we break down the NLDS, and this is a special

National League Divisional Series preview edition with Stephen

Brault. Just tell us how the season wraps up for a ball player. What do you do? Do you have exit

meetings? Do you, and then what? Yeah, you have, so I think it's different per team, what, what each

team does. Our team does like, each player has an exit meeting with the GM and manager, kind of

talk about the year, what you're going to be working on going to the offseason, that kind of

stuff, where you're going to be.

And after you do that, yeah, it's just kind of like, all right, see you later.

You know, for me, it's, you know, go get healthy and go get strong and get ready for next

year you know it's it's weird because you have like such a regimented schedule for you know

basically like eight months and then you have these four months of like well you know figure it out

it's very very different but obviously really nice. I do love watching

playoff baseball. So I watch all the games. I've watched the last two games, both really good.
