Oh hey, didn't see you there. It has been a minute hasn't it? How have you been, how's your spouse, your kids? The job still treating you right? No? Well that blows, unionize your workplace and take back the means of production. Anyway this week we're back after illness and tech problems derailed us for the past two weeks. Mike upon review does sound like he's broadcasting in the past, but it's fine all his content is from this time period(largely). Also we lost Jon, dunno where he went. He wandered off from the group. But good news, USA Today's Steve Gardner showed up! So he filled the role of Jon, and we got all sorts of early season discussion topics on the books. Trade questions, early season player and new rule impressions, all sorts of helpful things for players of all experience levels. Check it out. Or don't, we're podcasters not cops.

Releasing a day early to celebrate Opening Day, the lads are back with their full prediction slate. Who will win each division? Who takes home the major awards? Mike, Jon, and Samuel tell you in the first half of the episode. The second half is a game show! Samuel took like two years off from baseball, and uh his knowledge is a little sketch on player movement. Mike and Jon brought a list of players in the hopes of stumping Samuel about their current whereabouts. You can probably figure out how that went. Happy Opening Day!Got a content idea for the show?

It's over. It's finally over. The positional series has come to an end, with all intended disrespect towards catchers and relievers.

We're hitting the high notes, giving you the map to how to handle starters at both the high and not so end. If you listen to this episode back to back with all our others, you're guaranteed(*) to win your draft(*) and league(*)!(*)=Flags Fly Forever does not actually guarantee victory in drafts or leagues.

We're almost there. We're so close y'all. The positional series is close to completion, and we're here today(or whenever you hear this we're not time cops) to talk about the outfield. Is there a lot of those? You bet your redacted, but we handled it well. Steering through the waves, getting you what you need and nothing you don't. Especially a Dennis Lamp update.

Our positional series continues with the hot corner. Mike Gianella and Jon Hegglund take you through third base, a position with a strong top end but that curves out real poorly.
