Derek and Riperino-Seres here with you ahead of the long weekend in the States.

We are crawling to the end of the week.

I think we're both just dragging through these last couple of hours of work for the week, not because we don't like our jobs, because this week has been very busy, got kids going back to school, we've got all sorts of things going on. Just general life stuff. It's the way it works, right? So we'll try to help you through it, try to get ready for the waiver wire this weekend with our weekend waiver wire preview. We got some news and notes to get to and some project prospect along with a few mailbag questions and, you know, we'll get our Discord fired up too. So if you're out on the boat this weekend or in the backyard or working or wherever you got to be you can be on the

discord getting help with your teams chatting with some good folks about baseball and we got a new

channel for show recommendations like tv shows and movies too so check out the screens channel

i think we all need each other for that to get those those fresh recommendations we had a really

good reaction to our discussion about the top two,

how good Soto and Judge are.

And I tweeted about it, but it was the thing for the Discord,

that the Yankees are 2 and 10 when neither Soto or Judge get a hit.

15 and 18 if they have one hit combined, but 49 and 13 if they both have a hit, 21 and 2

when they have four hits.

And they're averaging 2.5 runs per game when those two are hitless and 5.1 in all games.

So, you know, there were some responses that tweet being like, duh, like, you know, these are great players. And if they play, great players don't hit, I'm like, I don't know, dude. Like, you know, I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I'm sure that the Arizona Diamondbacks aren't, you know, under 500 when, you know, Catell and Jack Peterson don't get a hit. Right. because there's a little bit more there to pick up the slack. I think you'd see a distribution sort of similar to the one you described when the two best players in the lineup, you know, don't get a hit, get one, all that, all that breakdown that would exist. I just don't think it'd be as extreme as we're seeing. Some of their teams might have a combination like that. a lot of teams don't have a combination that good. That's the whole point.

That's how we came up. Yeah, all right. Just look at the timebacks. They're definitely different. Somehow scoring the most runs in the big leagues. Still surprised. Josh Peterson, their best hitter. Get on in there, though. It's a good time. Let's get to some news. This was a really bad, weird play in the Royals Astros game on Thursday night. So Lucas Ersig tries to field a comebacker

with his bare hand, pitching hand, kind of bobbles it, has to rush the throw. That's one of those
