| 0:00.0 | Fortune favors the bold, and in this segment of bold predictions, worm and mare from the cycle sat down with Scott Pianowski and George Bissell to get their take on some bold predictions for the upcoming 2025 baseball season. |
| 0:15.5 | Back now for the final segment of Fantasy Fest 2025. We want to go out by going bold. We've got some bold |
| 0:23.6 | predictions here from Mike Mayer, from Scott Pianowski, and from George Bissell. Guys, thank you so |
| 0:28.3 | much for joining. Because we've got four of us on here, we're going to jump right in and see |
| 0:32.3 | if we can get through as much as possible. Also, I do just want to remind everybody on the super |
| 0:36.3 | chats, if you're sending them in. |
| 0:41.8 | If we finish this segment and I don't have time to get to all of them, Mayor and I are going to stick around. |
| 0:54.4 | We will answer all of your questions. So if you want a question, answered that you have not had the chance to ask yet, let's dive right in here on the bold predictions. |

| 1:12.2 | I know he's disappointed fantasy managers for a long time, but things kind of flipped for him last year upon leaving the nationals going to Seattle. He had phenomenal close to this season, |
| 1:17.3 | about a 328 with four homers and ended up with 30 steals over his final 77 games. The thing that |
| 1:23.2 | changed for him was he started making a lot more hard contact and started striking out less. |
| 1:28.0 | So those are two really encouraging things that you want to see from a hitter. |
| 1:31.3 | And there's a lot of sort of narrative-based stuff you could point to with him in terms of |
| 1:38.1 | leaving Washington, where it felt like he kind of had the weight of the franchise on his shoulders. |
