How's it going and welcome to episode 223 of On The Wire?

Proud member of the Pitcherless Podcast Network.

I am Adam Howe back and joined as always by Kevin Hastings.

I always say that Joan, I'm just, I can't help but say it.

Obviously it's not always because

Kevin, you did such a great job with Mike Carter instead of myself last week. So I think I want to

give an immediate shout out to Mike. Great people, great have them on the show, filling in as a guest,

whenever the case may be. So shout out again to Mike Carter. Make sure you're

listening to him everywhere you can. Of course, on the fantasy baseball beat. And then all of his

work that he does with relievers as well. So thanks again. And thanks for all of you listening

and or watching on the Tube of Views

or wherever you're listening to this podcast.

We do have a great show lined up for you as we come back from the All-Star break,

and we got to get right back to it, Kevin, make our bids, get some new players,

and things change all the time, even when they don't at all.

But Kevin, I'm just happy to be back with you again. How are you doing? Glad to have you back, Adam. Thank you. I am doing well

and excited for this second half. I was happy for the little break, the little reset, if you will.

At the same time, it is my least favorite four days of the year.

In the off season, I know it's the off season.

And I can hop in a draft anytime I want to these days.

They start before this season ends.

So we have them all off season.
