It only seemed fair. Got a really good guest this week. We got Brian Slack with us. A really good, really good. One of the best NFBC players and a really good dude, too. I suppose the good dude part's important to me because we're hanging out here. But the really good player, good part is good for everybody listening. He's an excellent NFBC player, really good baseball mind. So I look forward to that. Brian, how are you tonight? I'm wonderful, Scott. Thank you for having me on. Absolutely. Thanks for coming on. I know, I know you have, you don't do a lot of these. So it was, it was good. It took some coaxing. It took some massaging, but I finally got you here live in the flesh. I'm fired up about it. Yeah, I'm, I'm generally on a like a Howard Hughes kind of event. It's been a couple years now, honestly. Don't leave the house in my. People like you. Like I announced it on Twitter a couple hours ago, a bunch of bent. It's been a couple years now, honestly. Don't leave the house much. People like you.

Like I announced it on Twitter a couple hours ago, a bunch of likes. Nobody likes my post.

They never happen. So people like you. Are they sarcastic likes?

No. I had a text message saying you were that guy's so effing smart. I'm looking

forward to listening to podcast. There's been some messages online too so it's uh it's uh we got someone calling you a beautiful baseball mine like i feel like everybody's here to talk to you so let's uh let's talk some baseball here uh everything's good everything's going good with you it is good to see you uh we're talking about some fab in a second i but I just want to talk about week 11 really quick.

You know, we got a week coming up. We got a handful of teams with seven games coming up. Sincere Milwaukee, the Cubs, Toronto, Houston, Boston, Tampa Bay. Seattle does have five games this week. The dreaded five game week. As you were adding some offense this week, We're in the offense.

You really found yourself trying to tag.

Obviously, the Rockies are home all week,

so that's always a big thing.

But were there any matchups, any offense,

the offense you really found yourself trying to take. Obviously, the Rockies are home all week, so that's always a big thing. But were there any matchups, any offense, the offense you really found yourself targeting some streamers this week? Yeah, not as much as weeks past. Like I found that, you know, maybe before, you know, there might have been like a Pavan Smith stream or something like that. that was kind of excited to get for, you know, six or seven bucks. But less of that this week. But I think it might be because I have more giants than I expected on my rosters. So I already got some of those guys in the lineup. So some giants, some Padres with the Rockies at the back end of the week. And yeah, there weren't many Rockies really available. But yeah, that was basically it. Yeah. Yeah, not really. I was there was a couple like the Tigers this week. I think faced five Ritey's so that, you know, if any Zach McKinster or Kielbadu were still out there. You know, I was holding those guys where I added them. I really like the Brewers this week.

I wanted to get some Joey Weimer.

He's available to call my lease.

I got outbid.

I got outbid on one by a dollar, which always stings. Then the other one, we'll talk about Royce Lewis in a second here, but I ended up getting Royce Lewis. I didn't really expect to get him. I thought I would get Weimer.

And then all of a sudden, the Royce Lewis bids were all over the place.

We'll talk about that.
