  • Super Informative/Good vibes

    Two of the best in the fantasy space talking pitchers. You can tell they’re good friends too, it’s fun + super smart.

    My one critique would be to let the other guy finish his thought; not every time but let it breathe a little. Fair amount of cross talk (which can also be a positive).
