Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome aboard the shallows. The pod design

specifically for all you 10 team and smaller league managers. We're setting sail to explore

the hidden depths of shallow leagues navigating the treachery, the tactics, and the expert maneuvering

it takes to win your matchups and hoist that trophy. I'm your captain Eric Henrickson, alongside mate. We looked it up. It's not first made. It's chief mate. Carson Picard. Carson, how are the seas faring today? Seas are faring just fine, Eric? Thank you very much. I'm very excited to get this rolling. We've got a ton to talk about today, and we're going to set sail here in just a minute.

Yeah, we're both reping our teams. I got the Yankees and Carson has the twins.

So this is our first episode. We're really excited to set sail here. But, you know, who are we?

Like, who are these two guys talking about shallow league fantasy baseball? Carson, why don't you introduce yourself to the people?

I think on pitcher list, my actual description of who I am is I am a writer based in Minnesota who spent time in Winnipeg, so I'm all too familiar with the cold and crushing defeat.

I'm a twins fan.

I've been a writer at pitcher list here on the Going Deep team for a couple of years, talking about all sorts of different things. Uh, I'm a twins fan. I've been a writer at pitcher list here on the going deep team for a couple of years, talking about all sorts of different things.

Uh, and this is one of the first times I'm going to be hosting a podcast.

Very excited to be talking about these shallow leagues here with Eric and really excited to, uh,

to really give a great voice into a kind of untouched part of fantasy baseball discourse.

The people that can't get 12 friends together.

So we're going to be rolling here.

I am one of those people who can't get 12 friends together.

So I have become an expert.

I've become an expert in the shallow league format.

I've been playing fantasy baseball for over 20 years.

My God, saying that is just wild.

I am actually new to the pitcherless team.

So if you go to my pitcherless page, you won't see much of anything there.
