E109. "2026-27 Season Around the Corner" With Gatesy from @CrossSwordsPod⁩

[static] Welcome in to episode 109 of the Sabermetrics Podcast.

My name is Bill.

Alongside me, as always, is Walt.

And Walt, we have a little bit of a different one today, because we actually did an interview with Carson Gates, or Gatesy, of the Crossing Swords podcast, which is part of the Trainwreck Sports umbrella.

[lips smack] And so we will be playing that here in a second, but we wanted to let everyone know what our upcoming schedule for this season is.

We're going to do a weekly episode and then, you know, anything else is gravy on top of that.

Live streams or separate episodes or an, an, an extra video or two.

Um, but our plan is for one episode a week, and we are going to-- If the Sabres are playing on Monday, we won't record, but we're planning on recording on Monday, releasing Tuesday.

If they play Monday, we're going to record on Tuesday, release Wednesday morning.

If they play both Monday and Tuesday, we will record on Wednesday and release Thursday morning.

Yeah, and then a few other things coming up with the Sabermetrics podcast.

Uh, we'll be pr- uh, publishing more articles on our Substack, uh, throughout this season.

So I know we did an article or two on there last season, so look out for more articles posted on there throughout this season.

And we also have the Sabermetrics guide, uh, the Sabres season preview guide that I'm currently working on.

Uh, expect that to be out, you know, kinda right when training camp starts, right before the first preseason game.

Uh, should be some great stuff in there, like a full page on every player on the Sabres roster, uh, s- top 20 prospect rankings, and this will be available in a PDF and I'll also have a printable version available as well.

Really looking forward to that one.

It's been a lot of hard work by you, Walt, but it's gonna be great.

Really looking forward to that releasing.

And without further delay, let's get to our conversation with Gatesy.
