Crazy ending to the season with a three way tie for the final wildcard spot. And awards voting chatter!

Thanks for doing this.

All I’ll say is anything can happen in the playoffs.

I wish you the best of luck. I always root for the underdog and I kind of hate myself for being such a heavy favorite here. Id much rather being playing a Bears team that had McNeil, Smith, Schultz and Swanson. But ultimately you got the best of both worlds. Playoff money and a prospect haul. A first round upset would be icing on the cake.

Yeah I forgot to mention the Bears' injuries. Another huge factor.

Nice listen on the drive home from work today

I played Jose Perez at 1B the rest of the season after Schultz got hurt and he had -0.9 WAR. The only other guy on my 40-man who can play 1B is Harrison who I want in RF so I guess I’m stuck with Perez. Maybe I regret releasing Pancho Costa or should have signed a veteran? Alwell, time for Perez to start living up to his ratings.

Martin Hemming is a Bear now, btw. He actually outhit Jeffrey Smith down the stretch and gave me another lefty bat so I don’t hate it.

Oh nice. I didn’t realize he was part of the Smith trade.

This was fun to listen to. Thanks for putting it together.

Was confused when you said Hemming was in my lineup for the playoffs but yeah Hemming has looked great as a Bear. I think Smith will factor in better for the playoffs I hope . I think what will ultimately bring me down is losing Serrano and having to start Will Lee, a great defensive player but no real offense to speak of.

More or less because we couldn’t agree on a contract extension.

excellent as always. Surfer rotation has been completely reworked from the projections. Vancouver definitely has some scary pitching so it's going to be up to my offense to break through it and win three games for the honor of losing to Nashville
