Welcome to Rates and Daryls. It's Thursday, November 13th. Derek and Riper, Inoceris here with you on this episode. We will attempt to recreate our live show from first pitch, Arizona. Had a bit of a mishap with the live recording, unfortunately.

A shout-out to our friend James Gale for trying to save that for us, unfortunately. It was not salvageable. But the good news, you know, we had a lot of great content and

we get to experience something that was a lot of fun just in a second take.

So I just wanted to start today and kind of ask you, you know, how'd your trip go overall?

Oh, it was fun as always, man.

I mean, the funny thing is that, like, I didn't see that much baseball,

which is okay, because we see so much over the course of the year.

I saw, you know, a couple innings at the introductory game,

but spend most of the time talking to people and just talking baseball,

all sorts of people there, you know, the pitcherless group, baseball HQ, RodeWire.

Everybody sends everybody there.

So it was really good to see old friends.

We saw the home run derby, did see Tony Blanco Jr. hit a ball 123 and hit a kid with him.

It the kid in the hip. He was okay.

At least at the time of him, of his exit from the berm area,

he was no longer in tears and appeared to be walking fine on his own.

It was funny, though, because, you know, the kind of things that happens,

like James Anderson and I co-own a team and Devils Rejects 20,

I talk about sometimes 20 team, 28 keeper.

We have Tony Blanco Jr.

And he's right on the, on the cutting line.

Like he's just, he would be one of our last protects, which you're in the league and I'm admitting this to you, but that's all right. The, I think it's probably obvious from anybody
