Grumpy Old Men

 

Welcome to the latest episode of Breakfast with the Beats. In this episode, Mike and Dave discuss:

• Players that they were wrong about
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. Jr.
  • Kyle Tucker
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. Jr.
  • Jackson Merrill
• The Pirates’ rotation and what lies ahead
  • Paul Skenes
  • Mitch Keller
  • Jared Jones
  • Bubba Chandler
  • Braxton Ashcraft
  • Mason Montgomery
  • Gregory Soto
  • Dennis Santana
  • Carmen Mlodzinski
• The struggling Braves offense
  • Ronald Acuña Jr. Jr.
  • Ozzie Albies
  • Drake Baldwin
  • Michael Harris II
  • Mauricio Dubón
  • Matt Olson
• The resurgent Framber Valdez

Then Mike and Dave start talking about things that are on their minds. Like old men shaking their hands at the clouds (Simpsons reference), they discuss:

• Why the possibility of the league introducing a new ball is the latest in a long line of unnecessary changes
• Why the landscape of predicting bullpens is nearly impossible these days
• Why knowing too much about the game of baseball is a bad thing
• Why fantasy leagues need to change their rules

Finally, in our Mental Health Moment, the guys talk about letting their feelings show and why it’s important.
