"Hit lead off for them. And folks can access like lineups and like box scores through the folly box wars basically if you go to the fall league website and pull up the game day for any one of the folly games in that section of the screen at the top where all the scores would be. They just have all the following scores and all the winter ball scores up there so you can scroll through those and see who's in those leagues and get real-time box updates and stuff. For all the issues that Major League Baseball and minor league baseball have with like getting us stats and like having leaderboards and like an app on your phone that is usable and stuff like there's some stuff that they don't do well this off season winter ball scoreboard is unbelievable and thank you to the people who help put that together and put Dominican games on MLB TV. All right, well, there's a lot of baseball to look forward to, even after Major League Baseball ends and people can read about that on the site. I'm sure you'll be ramping up the prospect lists pretty soon too. And they spend the best of luck with that process. And I'm sure we'll have you back to talk about that and also some of the other prospects stuff we didn't get to today. So thanks as always. My pleasure, thank you so much for having me on and enjoy the World Series, guys. I'm sure I'll see you MiGs been at some folly games, so you're done with all of your postseason stuff, which I know it's a grind for you. Look forward to seeing you out there. All right, a few follow-ups for you here. One, I mentioned earlier that stat about only 8 and two thirds innings pitched on the ASTRO staff this year from pitchers who had an ERA above the major league average. Well, frequent stat last consultant Ryan Nelson was able to confirm that that is a record that the previous low was the 2005 cardinals actually. Speaking of Adam Wainwright, that was his rookie year, and he was one of the few cardinals that year who had an ERA above the MLB average of 4.29. He only threw two innings. There was only 19 and two thirds innings total on that Cardinals roster thrown by pitchers who had an ERA above the MLP average, so this year's Astros more than halved that record. By the way, I should note that that was the record since 1969, the 1942 cardinals had 12 and a third innings pitched from above league average ERA pitchers, and actually I suppose it looks like the all time record 1944 cardinals with 8 innings pitch, but wartime cardinals teams. I think we can disregard we can go with post World War II post integration, et cetera, these Astros do seem to be the record holders. It really does feel like maybe the key to the series for the Phillies is just minimizing the exposure of the bottom half of that pitching staff. The Astros, they can go deep with their pictures, there's not that huge a drop off, but the Phillies, after you get past the top two or even to some extent, top three starters and then your tap two or three relievers, things do head downhill, especially for the lefties. So you may want to have rep Thompson take a page from the Dave Martinez 2019 playbook and just write your best pictures for as high as share of your innings as you can. Joshi and noted that 6 pitchers accounted for 74% of the nationals innings in their 7 game victory over the Astros in 2019, perhaps the Phillies can pull off something similar and have Wheeler and Noah start as often as possible. And on the subject of the Astros, we were talking about how Pete patella was poached by the Giants, well, there was another exodus, as a Campo, leaving the marwin to become the marwyn assistant GM. It's not the first time that he left that organization, but he was their international cross checker. Now he signed a lot of their top international pictures. So when you sign and develop as many good players as the asterisks have, people want your people and then it gets harder to maintain your edge, but they have held it thus far. Also, we were talking about the MLB endorsement deals. I got an email from a company promoting a new report about sponsorships in MLB, sponsor united, which says that sponsor united analyzed thousands of brand partnerships across teams and individual players over the last 12 months, they found that Shohei Ohtani is the most marketable MLB player in recent history with 15 brand deals in 2022, a new record previous record was Aaron judge with 1320 21, judge not even in the top 5 this year. Interestingly, the Cincinnati reds were the most sponsored MLB team with 200 brand deals to the Yankees one 72. Who knew? Maybe reds fans. MLB player endorsements increased 12% year over year, 325 different brands for player endorsements, and MLB teams averaged 108 sponsorships this season. More than any NFL NBA NHL and MLS team. 108 sponsorships. That's a lot. So it doesn't seem to just be our imagination or our biased exposure to baseball baseball really is more money grubbing when it comes to the sort of thing for better or worse. Also, I wanted to correct myself from last time when we were talking about Dave de brewskis career, I credited or I guess debited Jeffrey loria with the Marlins fire sale after 97, of course that was Wayne hyena, who was responsible for that one. I was thinking to myself as I was saying it, make sure you say the right bad Marin's owner. And I said the wrong one anyway and then forgot to go correct myself, loria had his own teardown of the team several years later. Also, I've got a close with the pass blast, but I want to read this email from listener Nicholas, who says amid all the debate about whether baseball is better with or without expanded playoffs at just like to throw this take out there the expanded playoffs are better because in the long run the best franchises actually do win just not always when we expect it. Consider the following an alternate universe where beginning in 1995 and excluding 2022 still in progress each year, the teams with the best records in the AL and NO respectively faced each other in the World Series and the team with the better record one, and he went through every year, the matchups and the winner. I'll link to it if you're interested in looking at the year by year results, but you notes that in this universe, only two World Series, 2013 and 2020 play out exactly the same as in real life. And yet, it all looks eerily familiar. The names are right, but the places are run, the Cardinals braves and giants all win multiple championships, but the dates on the banners are not what we've been used to seeing. The 2008 World Series between the Phillies and rays happens, just two years behind schedule, even the angels and nationals win titles, only this time, Harper and trout both get championship rings earlier in their careers. The overall feeling is like a story where the hero goes back in time to kill Hitler, only to return to the present day and find that someone else took control of the Nazi Party in World War II, more or less happened anyway, just unsightly different dates and battlefields. And in this case, just with World Series champions, so he notes when all is tallied very few teams see more than one title or one pennant difference from what happened in real life, although of course a title can make a big difference. It's not

"So record setting baseball is held for more than a year would be taxed at the 28% long-term rate on collectibles, however this is a quote in here that this would not be good publicity for the IRS. No. Why would the commissioner want to give everyone who loves the Yankees a recent to hate the IRS, I mean, I don't know that the approval rating for the IRS is all that high to begin with. It may have bottomed out at this point. It's like, oh, there's really on board with that IRS. Just, you know, love everything they do. Just love being a taxpayer and participating in the taxpaying process. But this air judge ball thing. That really slipped it for me. Yeah. So the last thing that the kind of compromise proposition here is that the IRS would tax the baseball catcher immediately for the retail price of the baseball. So $25, right? Hey, you just got yourself a baseball, $25. Used baseball even. Maybe it depreciated. Yeah, there you go. And then treat the increase in value as unrealized gain. Sure. So that the gain would be taxed when and if the ball is sold, but you wouldn't be hit with some huge tax bill off the bat, literally. Well, sure, because the value that, you know, what you're realizing is hypothetical until you sell it. Yeah, right. That's true. I doubt that if it, let's say they slapped you with a huge tax bill right away, and then you sold it at auction, and just kidding, it's actually worth far more than what they originally assessed you at. It's not like they're going to be like, oh, we're good. That's pretends to not be how the IRS operates. No. Anyway, it seems like no one exactly knows this doesn't come up that often. It hasn't come up in a while, really. And so everyone's just kind of trying to fumble forward and hope that they come up with some sort of solution here. So interesting article seems like something that could be codified, although I guess it's probably not the most certainly the most pressing revision to the tax codes that probably needs to be made. Definitely not. All right. You fumble in football Ben, you don't fumble in. Sorry. I mean, you support sometimes. Mostly associated with football, you know. All right, let's end with the past blast. This is episode 1915. And this past bus is also from 1915 and from Jacob and ranki Sabres director of editorial content and chair of the black Sox scandal research committee. 1915, where ballplayers go to retire is the heading for this one. Professional athletes have always known they have a limited window to earn good money in their careers. Before four-o-one-ks existed and before social security was established, they didn't have many options once they're playing days were over. The sporting news reported on one creative plan for retirement in 1915. Quote, what has become of that plan to establish a home for retired ballplayers to be maintained by contributions from players still able to make good money out of the game. Out in California, Jimmy burns a former player and now a member of the legislature has introduced a measure to pension ball players, but he wants the fans to supply the pensions. The time seems very appropriate to take up the idea of the player's home, supported by funds from out of the player's pockets. It is true that in combating the greed of the mercenary magnates, they have had little time to give thought to organized effort for aid of their fellows needing care, but now that the federal league and the players fraternity have compelled reforms attention can be given to the broader things. And Jacob concludes, while Jimmy burns his idea, didn't go anywhere in 1915, players continued to push for a pension fund. The owner set one up in the 1940s, but it was underfunded after Marvin Miller was hired by the MLB Players Association in 1966, one of his first major accomplishments was negotiating a new pension agreement between the players and owners. Pensions were a huge deal. Work stoppages over pensions. And prior to their being a pension, players would often teams or players they would stage exhibition games and benefits, maybe for older former players who had fallen on hard times, you know, there was less of a social safety net and certainly less of a baseball player safety net. So players today, they probably don't take it for granted. I'm sure they're quite grateful to have that, but also maybe we take it for granted that that just exists when for a long time. It did not, and you kind of had to go hand in hand or pass the hat to try to provide for some players who could not provide for themselves. And so it took a way movement and it took many decades to get that to happen. Yeah. All right. Everyone, please enjoy your division series responsibly. Okay, I figured I'd mention this just because we were talking about the Astros future and their player development acumen after we recorded the Giants hired Astros assistant GM in charge of player development, Pete patella as the Giants new GM, replacing Scott Harris, whom the tigers hired away from San Francisco, so patilla is the new number two in San Francisco under farhan zaidi, just seemed worth noting because I remember when I was working on the Astros player development chapter in the MPP machine a few years ago, it seemed like everyone I talked to saying the praises of Pete patella who was not a well-known name particularly at the time I think he was still the director of player development. I'm not sure if he had been elevated to assistant GM by that point, but he started with the esters in 2011 as an intern and just worked his way up and from everything I heard was pretty instrumental in putting into place there, process everyone seemed to like and respect him, don't know him personally. Can't match for him myself, but I remember hearing at the time people I talked to would say, oh, he's definitely going to be a GM some day and probably not in the two distant future. That has happened now. Also, possibly telling that when James click of the rays took over the asterisk for an office, he kept Pete patilla instead of cleaning house of everyone from the Jeff luno era in patella has been up for GM jabs before, including the giant GM chab for that matter, but the Giants already have a pretty good reputation for player development. They've overhauled how they do that over the past few years, so it seems natural that they would be interested in someone who played an important part in that process for some other success organization. No idea what if anything that might mean for the future of the Astros and their ability to keep developing good players, often when someone puts a good process of place like that, others can come along and pick up right where they left off, but the Giants could use the help coming off of 500 season and with potentially a lot of turnover in store for this winter.

"Time. Did you know there's only one scheduled off day on a weekend during October? Wow. Yeah, it's going to be a bit compressed. How about that? I kind of like in terms of playoff play styles and how you have to structure your restor and how it maybe mirrors the regular season more so than just building tons of off days and letting certain teams take advantage of that more. Maybe we can talk a little later in the week about which teams just look like good playoff teams, whatever that means to the extent that we can even tell a good playoff team is it's pretty hard to predict that sort of thing beyond just saying it's a good team they wouldn't want a game that's probably a good playoff team too. But that would be of interest to me. So a couple of quick things John birdie got his 40th stone base. So yeah, that was a big race that was a big source of suspense for everyone. I know was this going to be the first season since 1958 not to have someone steal 40 and as it turns out because the moments John Bertie swiped his 40th bag, so thanks to John Bertie and I read a couple of reports from Ken Rosenthal and I believe bob nightingale also that the Astros are considering possibly a leadership change and by the answers owner Jim crane, which boggles my mind. Yeah. I guess not that that would cross his mind, but that that could actually happen if it because the asterisk they've handed that team over to James click running baseball operations and dusty baker running things on the field. And really could not have done a better job taking over under somewhat difficult circumstances. Good circumstances in that they inherited a good team and they have not run it off the rails, but tough circumstances in that they're the Astros and everyone hated them and a lot of people still do. And not only have they not added fuel to that fire, haven't had an additional scandals or anything, have more or less operated like a normal baseball team as far as we know. But they've kept winning and there was a great foundation there, but they have taken that foundation and they have built on it, or they have made the most of it. They have not torn it down. They have just conducted business as usual. And deflected at least some of the ire toward the esters that was existing or again not fan the flames, and so Rosenthal nightingale reporting here that Jim crane could be considering changing both of them, potentially hiring a new manager, maybe making a change with click. Seemingly because there's been some clashing that maybe baker and click have clashed a tad over click's desire for a more analytical approach. I suppose that is not surprising, given their respective backgrounds and ages and styles and everything. And that kind of thing has been docking dusty for so long, right? Oh, dusty baker, he's not like analytically oriented. And maybe he wasn't initially using the baseball guy, but I think he's gotten on board at least to the extent that he needs to. I mean, all the old narratives about him overworking pictures and all of that, that's out the window, like he's done a great job of breaking in all of these new homegrown pictures that the astors have and handling them responsibly. And whether he's fully on board with analytics and the language that click speak safer metrically, I don't know, but you can't really argue with the results, like how much better could the esters be than they've been under dusty baker, not to mention the fact that just everyone loves dusty baker and his players seem to love dusty baker. So that's one possible clash according to Rosenthal and then the other one, the bigger one seems to be between crane and click. So reading here from Rosenthal, the athletic crane is difficult, demanding, and heavily involved in baseball operations, acting almost as an owner slash GM, et cetera, et cetera, crane does not trust click the way he trusted Jeff luno. How did that work out? With whom he worked for 8 seasons, crane is also more inclined to act quickly and boldly than click who comes from the raise a more frugal deliberate operation. None of clicks transactions has been particularly flashy. It goes on, but basically it sounds like maybe crane wants to meddle more than click wants to or he wants to do some things that click doesn't want to do. And if this were to happen, it seems like it would be a huge cell phone just given how well things have gone for the asterisk lately and also the sort of message that would send to prospective replacements if the message is that crane wants to bring in his own person so he can basically be the boss and make moves himself. So the whole thing just seems wild like the notion that the Astros would need to win a World Series for James click to keep his job or for dusty to feel secure. I know they have a assistant GM Pete patella around who's kind of been the architect of their player development machine I know people think highly of him and for all I know crane has had his eye on him but after everything that organization has gone through and all the self inflicted reputational damage to think about kind of cleaning house after a 105 win season from the outside at least just seems really rash to me.
