This is the Weekly Scramble, a place where we chat about life over a cold one or two.

It's time to belly up to the pod with Mike Fradaloni and your host Chris Reaver.

That's right, it's time for the Weekly Scramble. However, it is a sad episode because it's the last time we're going to talk about amateur baseball in the state of Minnesota for the calendar year of 2022.

My name is Chris Revers, Mike Fradaloni not on this particular episode, but my good buddy Jeremy Stender is with us once again.

Jeremy, it's a sad episode, isn't it? We're talking about the conclusion of the amateur baseball season.

It sure is, man. What are we going to do for eight months?

I don't know. We're going to do. I mean, what are you going to do? Your whole life has been centered around the last three weekends for the last year.

For the last three years for that matter, you've always been thinking about it. It's just, yeah, it's always sad when we put it to bad, but luckily winter always goes by so fast in Minnesota.

So we know it's going to come again, right?

It's funny you say that because on Tuesday, I actually took the day off of work just to kind of get the kids back into school.

We had a little bit of orientation at elementary school for the boys and then my wife just looked at me and said, well, now what?

I said, I don't know, but it's funny. I'm leaving football practice. My boy, my oldest son plays for the fifth and sixth grade Jordan Hubbard football team.

And as I'm leaving the parking lot with him and around 730 Tuesday night, I see Scott Hollingsworth, Jordan Brewer's star, Scott Hollingsworth, he pulls up.

He says, so now what? And I said, well, it's just kind of winding. I go, I don't worry. In two years, you get to help us, holster with bell plan.

Is it, oh my God, that's right. So yeah, I get this next summer off, but then I'm going to be helping out the brew, the brew crew probably in two years when they hosted with bell plan and green isle.

So it's going to be right around the corner again.

It won't, it won't be long. Hey, you know, before we get into it, I mean, a shout out to you guys and terrible to Dundas to me, is bill.

I mean, it was, it was great. It was just so much fun the last three weekends and, you know, obviously the baseball was great, but the parks were great.

You guys were forced to battle adversity.

And you just came through with flying colors. It was awesome. I enjoyed my time at all three parks.

It was just fun. And you know, for me, the last night was Sunday and, you know, you and I had a beverage or two, just kind of, you know, taking it all in.

And it's just that finality, right? When it's over, it kind of hits you and, you know, driving home on Sunday night with Chris Diamond, we were both kind of, well, okay, it's time to be done.
