Around TLG

Welcome to 2023. Artie and I spend 1 hour and 3 minutes talking about the 2023 trade deadline and the biggest trade of his tenure as the CLE GM and then another like 50 minutes talking about practically nothing. We then spend a good 30+ minutes talking about some of the best statlines in baseball, and I practically pass out talking about Kyle Wright. Shoutout Lino. Lastly, we talk about a few teams that have shocked us this year, and give some shoutouts to some GMs. 

ALDS + NLDS previews. Artie and Drew talk about a key player, key to the series, and pick each of our divisional series as the playoffs heat. Our docket: BOS v. CWS (all sox), HOU v. MIN, ATL v. STL, LAD v. PHI - somewhere along the line we start talking about motivational quotes and share *SPOILERS* from Rocky IV. 

This is 34 straight minutes of banter uploaded raw. Wild card picks and #OLDTAKESEXPOSED already. 

Dan and Drew talk about the 2022 draft, and marvel at how top heavy it is. Mini-episode for the boys as we head into what appears to be a new era of TLG after the trade deadline. Enjoy folks!

Dan discovers that he is among fellow Canadian brethren, we discuss some of the insane talent that's come out of the first two drafts, and we each get a chance to absolutely butcher a name. We also both have a revelation that PIT is going to be absolutely terrifying in about 2 seasons. 

Artie and Lamp talk about the mostly ridiculous performances that are happening and are reminded that this is, in fact, a baseball simulation. We have a few of our early predictions already blow up in our face, but are now starting to watch and see if any teams can beat some records. New hot take about Matt Olson gets dropped.

I honestly don't have too much to write about this one boys, it's a LOT of banter. Artie and I discussed what is undoubtedly the most stacked division in TLG, and we both are certified as stupid for our Padres' team MVP picks among many other interesting thoughts.

The trade menace and GM of the Pittsburgh Pirates had a rousing chat with Artie about the NL Central. Somewhere in here Asa Lacy wins 4 Cy Youngs, throws a 2-hit shutout, players get waived 8 times, Yu Darvish AND Joey Votto get ol' yeller'd, and we get a double nice.

Artie and Drew sit down and discuss their newly-shared division. They talk a little bit of smack and continue to debate Giolito vs. Bieber (Giolito, every day). Some players make it onto the trade block, and we declare that 3-outcome baseball is dead now that the bunt has returned.

Cleveland Indians GM Artie and a PODCASTING LEGEND sit down and discover a mediocre 7-pitch international player, talk about the greatness of Trout, forget one of the teams in the division (something trash can related...), and lock in their picks for the year.
