How's it going and welcome to episode 23 of On the Wire Proud member of the Pitcherless Podcast Network?

I am Adam Howe, joined as always by Kevin Hasting, and we have a pretty good show.

We did this show last year around this same time. Just a good way of us to

kind of recap some things that stood out for us in 2025. Hopefully we can take that into

26 with whatever size green of salt you want. But we're going to be looking at some 2025

surprises, statistical surprises on the positive end. Next show we'll do

on the negative end. So let's start on the positive note, Kevin. But before we go into all that

and anything else we want to talk about, how you doing? Doing well, Adam. Thank you so much.

I hope you're doing well um

sorry about your red socks yeah yeah um i i i did say i leaned yankees doesn't mean i was rooting

for the yankee but uh yeah so and and now with the division round starting here on Saturday as we are recording.

And Julio Rodriguez just gave Seattle Mariners a lead as we're recording during the fourth game of the day here on Saturday.

There you go.

Nice live updates as you're watching.

The fact that you're watching or listening to us live instead of, maybe you're

doing, maybe you both.

Actually, honestly, anybody who's watching as though the has tuned into us is watching

live, I guarantee you you're also watching.
