Segment 1 – World Series Talk
1.The Dodgers take a 2-0 lead after two great games, particularly game 1.
2.Shohei Ohtani hurt his shoulder sliding into second base. The early word is he’ll be ok, but we’ve heard that story before.

Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the NL Central

1.Milwaukee Brewers
a.Stat line for Jackson Chourio – BA, HR, and SB
b.Does Tyler Black get more than 200 ABs in 2025?
c.Assuming health, Rhys Hoskins will be the full-time first baseman for the Brewers in September?
d.Tobias Meyers doesn’t throw hard (92.9 MPH FB), and only his change-up misses bats. However, he only throws the pitch 11% of the time. His ERA was 3.00 but his xERA is 4.11. I’m avoiding if I have to pay anything for him. What say you?
e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)

2.Pittsburgh Pirates
a.Oneil Cruz went 20-20 last season. Actually, 21 home runs and 22 stolen bases. Have you become a believer?
b.It’s early, but RosterResouce is showing Nick Gonzalez getting full-time at-bats. Does this stick?
c.Who would you rather roster for 2025 - Joey Bart or Henry Davis?
d.Mitch Keller did not live up to his draft status last season after a solid 2023. Is he on your radar for 2025? If so, where do you grab him?
e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)

3.St. Louis Cardinals
a.Stat line for Jordan Walker – AB, HR, SB, and BA
b.Is Maysn Winn a growth stock for 2024?
i.Baseballsavant shows poor exit velos, good speed, and an xBA of .259. He is only 22 years old.
c.True or False. The Cardinals will bring back Paul Goldschmidt. If yes, for how many years? He turned 37 last month, but it is the Cardinals.
d.Does Erick Fedde excite you for 2025 like he did last season? If so, how do you see him at the draft table. He’s a top ____________ starting pitcher.
e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)

4.Predictions on NL Central
a.Who wins the division and who will compete for a wildcard spot
