Welcome to Week 3 of Hacks and Jacks. This is episode 115.

Opportunity Knox. It's Brett Ford here with Scott Chu. We're going to be talking about a ton of bats as we head into the season.

Only a few more sleeps, if you're listening to this on Monday when it's published.

Only a couple more sleeps until the season starts on Thursday, March 27th.

Scott, it's been quite a weekend for me. I've had several, several drafts. I've actually been

Every league I was in made me do it all before the Tokyo series.

So little envious.

Before we had these games, these drafts would all be spread out over the course of the

entire month, right?

And they'd ramp up in the last two weeks, but they would be spread out.

And now with these international series, you have a bunch of drafts that happened right before it and a

bunch of drafts that happened right after it. And that's it. So embrace slow drafts. If you're out

there and you do snake drafts, embrace the slow. Otherwise, you know, it's, it's okay if you don't, even if you don't get the international games, right?

Like, as we talked about in the last show, pitchers don't go out there that long, even when they're throwing no hitters, right?

Weird stuff happens with hitters because the teams,

like the games count,

but the teams still treat them very much like spring training games

in that if anybody has anything happened.
