In Episode 422, Patrick, Jeffrey, and Craig chat about Christmas lights and then discuss five mostly baseball topics. 

1. We Dug Cole together: A cannier podcast would wait until the Cole opt out was sorted to do a segment on it. This is not that podcast
2. For Whom the Bellinger Tolls: Like (spoiler alert) Gerrit Cole, Cody Bellinger will be staying put. What does that mean for the 2025 Cubs?
3. Five Years, That's All We've Got: More IFA malfeasance, but one side seems to be taking more than their share of the blame. 
4. Around the Horn: The Brewers play some money games, some notable pitchers opt in, and Craig can never escape Joe Kelly.  
5. We go to the game that requires no prep, WAR escalator.
