Hello and welcome to episode 1522 of The Sleeper and the Bus.

It is Tuesday, July 14th.

I'm your host Paul Spoor, joined today by Justin Mason and Joe O'Rico, gentlemen.

How's it going?

It is boiling, just doing the Celsius to Fahrenheit for the, I'm assuming predominantly

American audience. It feels like 130. It feels like 130. Whoa. It ain't even that hot here in Texas today. We got a little rain to kind of cool it down. What do you got going out over there? Justin, I know you were sweltering last night in your office doing that gladiator draft. Yeah, it's not quite 113. I don't know what the feels like is, but it is 96 degrees,

and I don't have AC in my office. So if I die at some point,

and it's not you'll be able to tell the difference. Anyway, like, I mean, at a certain point,

if we get to the Foster Griffin conversation and I'm just like slurring my speech,

it's not because I'm drunk. It's because I have I have lost all fluids in my body.

Dying of heat exhaustion. Exactly. We're going to make this a 14 minute podcast. Exactly. One comment per let's go.

No, we're going to play two through two truths in a line not really we're

going to play two second half breakouts and one second half fade obviously want to look forward here

at the all-star break it's been quite a half i know they're not equal halves but it is the second half

i don't really care to be particular no The final 68 games or whatever the hell.

And we've seen guys put up like 81 games worth of production in the summer.

You know, when the ball is flying, they should use some of those home run derby balls.

Not the magenta ones, but the other ones they were using for the second half because

that ball was absolutely flying out of Citizens bank but yeah we're going to do a

couple breakouts and a fade using the player rater as our guide we're going to get um justin compiled

the full list there because i was just doing hitters and pitchers then i felt bad when i had like a top

40 pitcher uh but you said he's 103 overall so it it still counts, but then we're going to talk.
