Good morning, good afternoon and evening baseball fans. Welcome back to the

Barsville baseball show. It is Wednesday and today I am joined by Chris Castellani, Chris. Welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me, man. Should be a good one.

Now normally you and I do Friday shows for American League as we did throughout the first half

and kind of as the season gets in the second half. I think we might be a little bit more topical

I believe Tuesday, 6 p.m. What's interesting, and I think that we're doing this at the right time,
