Shut up Stein - Episode 73: Bracketology pt. 1

The open (or as some call it, the closed) is the premiere medium pitch NCT. Over the years it has undergone dozens of modifications, reboots, and remixes. Over the last three(ish) years, the format has been moderately static, but between weather issues and the desire to "award" as many games as possible to all teams, there are a number of...we'll call them useless games that end up being played. I claim to have solved those issues with a three-bracket system that incentivizes regular season standing, while punishing teams that lose and rewarding teams that win. Want to make the top 20? win three games. Want to make the elite 11? Win four games. But don't go 0-4, otherwise your night might be DONETCH.   To help make sense of this episode, I've included a link to a dropbox that contains the files that are discussed in this episode. That link can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/zhqsdw3ofivt72xs31926/h?rlkey=t2ilm9td2ge9ev4u36yg6m0uz&dl=0

Holey Commutes: Friday, October 20, 2023

Josh Smith is back for his first episode since the January season! Some listeners may recall an episode from that season where he recited 'An Oral History of WV Wiffleball History' and this episode is a sequel to that as one of the leagues (Matt Velez Wiffleball League, formerly Wheeling Wiffle Assoc.) mentioned managed to hear the episode and reached out... which resulted in this subsequent interview. The episode originally aired on the Wiffle Talk Hour as part of the Huntington Wiffle League Podcast but was too good not to share with the national scene.
