The Hello, welcome episode 753 for in the bus in is Thursday, November 7th. I'm your host Paul Spor and I am joined by Justin Mason.

Justin how you hanging in there?

Kid is super sick. I am sick so it is that time of year.

Great sounds wonderful but we're not going to chat too much

today we're working on a hard stop we got lots to talk about so we're going to

dive in get into a bit of news and then dive into some of the steamer stuff that's come out. The steamer projections are out. You can take a look at them.

comment I don't necessarily see it as the smoking gun that others do of like it's here we go this is a we've exposed them you know he's

telling on himself would you not talk to teams about? Yeah, I mean if I am the Tampa Bay Rays and I and I'm
