Nick Pollock

Ben Tidd on Monday is always...

Ben Tidd, Nick Pollock, Eno Saris is on my side.

But those two like to say he's...

If you take the names away, just look at the statistics and the underlying metrics, there's a lot of Mitch Keller and Hunter Brown.

Hello and welcome to On the Corner, the official podcast of PitchList.com. I'm your host, Eric Swarovski, joined heading into the final weekend of the MLB regular season.

By Nick Pollock.

Nick, we made it through another season, almost.

Yeah.

listen to give me that vaselina uh back in 2000 and what was that five um so it wasn't vaseline guys gasolina of course all right that is it that's gonna do

it for us we're gonna be back on monday so you're not gonna be without us for long uh i am eric samulski the pelican

They were talking about how kind of odd it is for Jonah Tonk's pitching style that he stands on the third base side of the rubber because – The problem is he needs to get more outside on the righties, and he comes so over the top that it seems even more difficult to do so if that's where he's going to be standing on the rubber.

I was texting our friend Nick Pollock about that too.

He was like, yeah, this is weird.

I'm going to look into it a little bit more.

This is how in the trenches we were with the Knicks years ago.

They won game five to force a game six in the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2023.

Our bartender friend convinced us to basically buy tickets.

Shout out to Eamon.

And for the record, I'm all in on one of those players in 2027.

After that, we go over Nick Pollock's annual list, which he outlines every pitching matchup down the stretch.

And I can't stress to you how important a resource this is and recommend it to you, especially in all daily leagues.

Finally, in our mental health moment, we go over our nerves and how we deal with them in our everyday lives.

We'll be right back.

Hello and welcome to On the Corner, the official podcast pitchers.com. I'm your host, Eric Swalski, joined, as always, by Nick Pollock to go over these weekend starters and the starters for next week.

And before we do that, Nick, I just wanted you to give a little plug or explanation about the list because the list has changed at this point in the season.

massively it is a behemoth of an article it's essentially every single start the rest of the way for every single team as well as me putting them into buckets of like generally yeah these are auto starts these are ones that you usually just do it they're ones that were toby's and bombs and then you have let's show you bombs right and then you also have the early streamers and the late streamers and like one game or so and then the ones you don't want to start at all and that's for every single rotation so what's really nice is that you can actually map out your playoff weeks really effectively with it it's just look the list is not the same it is not a list of the general talent and I feel like over if you run the simulations of the season this is what's going to happen it's now very schedule dependent and then they're the ones that like yeah you're not going to drop them at this point Like, what do you need from me? And you're not trading them.

And some of those benches are small.

That was something that when Nick Pollock designed the, the Champions League, he wanted it to look a lot like a typical head-to-head league that people might play in on ESPN or Yahoo.

And for many of us playing in it, we came from the 15 team, you know, mixed, uh, draft or the mixed auction or one of the mono leagues where [chuckles] depth is valued w- completely differently.

And these leagues, um, I think for a long time, there was some league shaming within the industry of, "Oh, well, that league is too small.

And actually my own guy is banged up and there's a chance he could miss extended time.

Um, As I wrote in my rankings for DeAndre Swift, in the words of Nick Pollock, Swift doesn't miss.

Swift never

misses.

So, it's going to be absolutely bonkers talking about football and baseball, of course, throughout the winter months.

But, Jay, thank you so much for being here.

My name is Nick Pollock.

You'll never hear from me again until next year.
