Bravo.

I’ve talked to a few UMEBA guys who have the same sentiment as Dillon in hoping to see the league grow and prosper, causing them to stay and make it their own world as early-members of the UMEBA.

Fun to listen too. Makes me excited to be getting into the UMEBA at this particular time.

Speaking to Neil the Greek a lot ( as a fellow Brit) I can see his enthusiasm for the UMEBA, the same that I had at the start of my time there. I was looking forward to taking an expansion franchise there this year but Matt promotes me up the chain first. For a second I almost knocked back the offer, I had done so much hard work on creating expansion candidates. It was only a split second though, I’ve been in and out of the BBA since the year of the reboot (1995) and I’ve never missed an opportunity to head back there

At the end of the day, I think the UMEBA is in the middle (or toward the end) of transitioning from a stepping stone to a destination. The whole thing is in place, and we've often had a full slate of reliable GMs. Another season or two and I think we'll see UMEBA GM's turning down BBA jobs.

At this point, we'll need to open the EBA again. :) (he says, ducking and covering from Matt's implosion!)

Another really fun listen. I love the very start where Dillon focuses on the rise of the ERA of pitchers through the years of the UMEBA.

That was great. I hope Hedde does well for you. I lost him as part of the BBA expansion draft before the 2040 season.
