And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

What's up, everybody?

Welcome to Move the Sticks.

DJ, Buck, with you.

Buck, did you take in opening day?

Baseball, did you watch it?

Or are you going to kind of ease it?

I mean, ease into it.

I did notice that the Dodgers won, but I didn't, I can't say that I watched it from beginning to end. Just kind of checked in. So, Shone E. Otani, do what he does. One or three guys, they hit a homer. So, yeah, excited about it. Now, you, the bigger thing is, are you going to peak too soon?

You always get super excited the month of April, May, you're really into it.

Then you're really into it. Then you begin to kind of fade and fizzle

for a little bit in June. You pick it back up a little bit in July and then, depending on how

the pods are doing, I don't know which DJM again come August and September. I'll be honest with you. I got a text

message from our buddy Chris Rose. It was like, hey, what do you expect this year? And I was like,

you know, I'm going to set my expectations. Just 500. Keep our expectations low this year.

Just 500. Because Buckie always tells me that I get too excited. So I said, not this year. I'm going to just go. And last year we had a great year. I think we were the second best team in baseball. But we, you know, so we have a really good team. But I'm going to get, let's lower expectations, not get ahead of myself. So what happened? We faced Chris Sale, the reigning Syung Award winner yesterday. Knock him around the yard and win. And I'm like, we're going to win 100 games. Like, let's go. It just took one day. It just took one day. I'm in. I'm all in. One day and you're automatically all the way back in again. It's a disease, buck. It's a disease. I can't help it.'t help it it's just a disease just so hard like i

feel so bad i feel so bad for you because you this is what you do all the time and then

ultimately like your heart is broken at the end and it's sad it's not not fun seeing you like this

yep no it's it's it is what it is but'm, I'm all in on the pods right now. I am excited about the calendar getting ready to flip, though, because we're almost to April. And that means, man, the draft is really, really creeping up on us. I got a couple of things I want to hit on today with your book Buck, including I want to get into your top fives a little bit.

And I want to know, because I feel like I've kind of told you some of the ones that I'm struggling with, I'd love to know, like, maybe two or three different, two or three different struggles that you got on your list.
