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 Frattaloni and your host, Chris Revers.

Well, it is a special edition of the weekly scramble.

My name is Chris Revers and it's going to be a little bit of Tom Ball talk.

It's that time of the year, the 100th state amateur baseball tournament takes place starting

this Friday and runs all the way through the championship game being a labor day down

in Dassel, Delano and Litchfield.

And so we're going to take a couple of stops, one voice that you may be extremely familiar

with on these airwaves via garage logic and of course Monday night sports talk with Patrick

Roycey.

But first we're going to talk to my good buddy Jeremy Stender who covers all things Tom

Ball related for KGLB radio and he is my guy because he has his finger on the poles

of everything Tom Ball related.

My man, how are things?

First of all, I want to start with this Jeremy.

I kind of set you up because that's how I do it because you're my guy.

I want a quick update on the league that you cover like a blanket because I had to follow

things from afar, given the fact that my farewell Lakers, you know, we were kind of in the

midst of our own region activity.

What the hell happened in your region and water town didn't even make the state tournament?

What the hell's going on?

Well, first off, thanks.
