How's it going and welcome to episode 217 of On the Wire?

I am Kevin Hastine.

Adam is on vacation this week hanging out with the family.

Hope he's having a great time him and his family but have no fear

we have a great guest to uh help me out this week as we're discussing our 12th fab run of the season already

joa rico you all know joe from fan graphsN, Fantasy Pros, probably about a dozen other places as well.

He's all over the place.

Joe, thank you so much for hanging out with me and talking Fab.

And hopefully we can help our listeners out before Sunday evening.

Absolutely, Kevin.

It's an honor to join you on this show.

I think I've done it maybe two or three times over the years, and it's always a great

pleasure.

We've hung out in person a lot over the last couple of years, playing golf, shooting the

breeze in Arizona, and it's always great when we get to catch up, my friend.

Yeah, man, it's awesome. As we were talking off air, it's been way too long since I missed Arizona this past year.

But for those out there on the fence about first pitch Arizona, and I know there's a lot of people, I was that person for many years before I made my first trip in 2019.

Plans for 2025, first pitch Arizona are out.

It's November 6th through 9th.

And if there's any way possible you can make it, you will not regret it.

And I'm sure you would agree with that, Joe.

It's my favorite weekend of the year.
