00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.879
Gredients of salutations. Everyone. It's
rich Wilson. Welcome to Fantasy Baseball Live.

2
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.000
Today is September twenty fourth, just
past three o'clock in the afternoon,

3
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:41.119
and we are down tim to seven
days left. Tim Yeah, okay,

4
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.159
yeah, sorry, yeah, you
clicked out on me there, Rich Oh,

5
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.320
I did seven days seven days left
of the season. Yes, the

6
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.359
end is near. And as the
end becomes near, the list of injuries

7
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:59.600
just keeps growing and growing and growing. It's uh, it's crazy. It

8
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.600
really is camp every time. The
camp keep Tampa can't keep anybody healthy.

9
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:10.680
Yandy Dias went out today, Well, ye, Yandy Dias windowed. And

10
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.680
you can add that to Brandon Lowe
who went out on Friday. I think

11
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:21.319
Luke Raley two left hand of everyone's
got a strained neck. The other's Brandon

12
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.560
low He's pretty well done with a
fractured kneecap. Feld went off his knee

13
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.959
the other day. Uh yeah,
if there's any potential for Andy Das to

14
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.560
miss time, uh, that lineup
is getting real thin. They might actually

15
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:42.040
be in a situation where they don't
have to platoon Josh Lowe anymore. Well,

16
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.200
Timmy said, they've got a great
minor league system. They've got all

17
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.159
these players that they've been hoarding.
It is time for Curtis Mead who is

18
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.560
hitting two eighty one now, and
Junior Camnario, who who hit a ball

19
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.319
one hundred and twenty miles an hour. It's time for them to get a

20
00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:02.000
shot in a field promotion they would
call that. Yeah, remember wartime.

21
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.640
In fact, my father in law, who was just a tough, tough

22
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.319
dude, he got one of those
where every all the officers were dead in

23
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:17.000
World War two and they said,
you're it. He led the baton as

24
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:22.960
a as a foot soldier. He
led actually his platoon or whatever, and

25
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.439
got all kinds of accommodations. So
it does happen, happens in baseball two.

26
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.080
Yeah, without a dot, it
looks like, all of a sudden,

27
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:37.919
Jonathan Randa is a full time player. Oh yeah, did he get

28
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.199
called up? So? Uh,
he's been on the squad for a while.

29
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.439
Not really, I'm not sure when
he when he last got called up.

30
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.400
But yeah, he's another one of
one of those, like you said,

31
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.319
up and down started players, And
now it looks like looks like he

32
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.919
might get fairly regular at bats this
coming week. I get play Timmy that's

33
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.879
a really good all these guys can
play. I mean, now, can

34
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.319
they come in in a week and
figure it out? I don't know.

35
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.439
But Randa can hit, Curtis Mead
can hit, Junior Cameron Arius a monster.

36
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.039
I mean, these are these are
guys that they might be better than

37
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.319
the players they're replacing. Maybe not
YONDI Das. Yeah, I was gonna

38
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.240
say yeah YONDI d Is if he
missed his time, that's gonna be a

39
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:24.719
tough one to fill. Like,
what are they going to do? Move

40
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.439
Rosarina up into the leadoffs? Fuck? I would think that might be their

41
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.639
best bet. Or maybe Manny Margo. Yeah, Margo's not an everyday player

42
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:42.960
for the most part. It's gonna
be interesting to see how the Rays managed

43
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.560
to put enough band aids on their
team to get to get anywhere in the

44
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.479
playoffs. Hey, I wish them
all the best, but man, that's

45
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.439
losing a lot of talent in a
short period of time. It is,

46
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.479
indeed, Timmy and they are losing
today as Taj Bradley just hasn't been the

47
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.840
player that I thought he could come
just a five fifty ear for the season

48
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:08.319
has not been good. No,
he's he's at spurts where he's looked really

49
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:13.280
good, but there's no consistency there
at all. And you know, hey,

50
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.480
the Jays are playing for they're playing
for a spot right now, so

51
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.800
they're putting it all on the line. So yeah, it'll be interesting to

52
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.600
see, you know, when you're
speaking, switching over to the Jays just

53
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:32.439
for a second, their closure looked
very, very mortal yesterday Apparently he's got

54
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.000
a crack finger. Now. Oh
so I'm started, Yeah, so I'm

55
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:42.519
started watching anxiously to see if he
gets a save opportunity this afternoon and how

56
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:50.000
he does, because again, just
another potential potential injury there that the Jays

57
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.399
donate. And we're seeing a lot
of injuries, a lot of players Mike

58
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.319
Mike Trout has done for the year. I don't know if you saw that,

59
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.680
they're not he's not playing. Yeah, it's really disappointing, you know.

60
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:05.040
Tristan McKenzie got blown up today.
He could. I was watching the

61
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:10.199
Orioles in Cleveland. I think he
walked. We walked five guys in a

62
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.279
row, I think because he walked
in a run. It just six total.

63
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.319
I was looking at it was it
was awful to him me, I

64
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.480
mean it wasn't the ball, but
at Leastie was out there, I mean

65
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:24.720
atlas he and Shane Bieber out there. Just disconcerting that we didn't see Michael

66
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.240
Trout come back. Yeah, did
you when you were watching McKenzie, was

67
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.079
he throwing any fastballs? And yeah, but the velocity was in the right

68
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.800
area in nineteen ten, ninety three, somewhere in that range. I don't

69
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:40.199
know, let's check. That's why
we have Baseball savant Tim that tells us

70
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.560
what he's going on game feed.
Let's see that would be uh, that

71
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.920
would be the Guardians, right,
So down to the Guardians clicked the open

72
00:05:51.959 --> 00:06:00.800
fat pitch velocity and we will sort
by Tristan McKenzie. Fastball ninety two one,

73
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.439
ninety one, eight, ninety one, three, four, ninety four,

74
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.879
ninety two, nine, yeah,
ninety three. Yeah, so it

75
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:12.720
looks like it's okay, it looks
like ninety one to ninety three. It's

76
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:17.160
happen out at ninety four, so
it looks like about normal, okay,

77
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:23.000
just zero control. So yeah,
he just couldn't finte on Blake yep.

78
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.279
So, but hey, at least
he went out there and pitched, so

79
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.560
that gives us a little bit of
hope and encouragement coming into next season,

80
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.920
because I mean, that's what fantasy
managers need to be. They need to

81
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.720
paying attention to this now because you're
going to forget when you're in the heat

82
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.519
of things in February March. How
these guys finished up. Well, Yeah,

83
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.519
and when you start looking at keeper
leagues and some of the decisions you

84
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:54.120
have to make every start, he
gives us now, gives at least something,

85
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.920
you know, if the keeper aspect
comes into way, he gives you

86
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.720
at least something to base a decision
on. And up until now there has

87
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.319
been absolutely nothing to base the decision
on. Right. So, speaking of

88
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.720
keeper Stimmy, you talked about Dylan
Cease and he was on your bubble and

89
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.879
you were not Yeah, you were
thinking about not keeping him yet he still

90
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.600
am Okay, But yesterday, I
mean again it's just one game, but

91
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:28.480
he looked awfully good yesterday. Yeah. No, he he had a good

92
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.240
game yesterday, One in a row. Is that a streak? I don't

93
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:41.600
know. Yeah, And again yeah
it was it was. It was Boston

94
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.079
with I guess the B team in
there, and it's not an overpowering lineup,

95
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.439
but no, Ceas did look good. He out six as he didn't

96
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.319
walk anybody eleven strike oats through one
hundred and eight bitches. Yeah, he

97
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.680
looked fine yesterday. I still haven't
made up my mind on what I'm gonna

98
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:05.439
do. I'm still very much up
up in the air. I think you

99
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.879
should keep him. I will be
doing a baseball If people are going to

100
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.319
be dropping dylancies, then I think
there's got to be some value on him

101
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.519
for next season. That means people
are really down on middle last night,

102
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.720
Look, the stuff was still off
the charts. Yeah, except for getting

103
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.040
it into the strike zoner that was
I think his biggest problem this year were

104
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:33.440
the walks that were way way up. Can that can that be you know?

105
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.679
Can that be improved upon next year? Yeah? It can, or

106
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.200
it could end up in that same
sort of situation. His walk rate is

107
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.840
less than it was last year.
What's your next question? M His walk

108
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.960
rate is less. Last year's walk
percentage was ten point four. This year

109
00:08:54.039 --> 00:09:03.039
it's ten point one. What's your
next question? So? So, so,

110
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:09.919
what where where is he? Where
is he getting hit something? Everything

111
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.360
is getting hit much harder. So
last year at a thirty one percent hard

112
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.440
hit rate, this year it's a
forty one point nine percent hard hit rate.

113
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.120
In fact, it's uh so that's
happening, but it's average for so

114
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.679
he nobody hit him hard last year. He's still in the twenty fifth percent.

115
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.200
Tellent ball is being hit hard,
So that's not the problem. Strikeout

116
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.000
rates are down, the walk rate, yeah, I knew they'd be down.

117
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.960
The people have a better launch angle
on him this year than they did

118
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.519
last year. So my guess is
it's Location's probably given up more home runs

119
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.840
this year. Let's take a look. Yeah, I'm counting, yeah,

120
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:56.720
eight fifteen fifteen nineteen home runs.
Last year it was fifteen sixteen home runs.

121
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.799
I don't know. Yeah, My
short term thought was, what's happening

122
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.399
is people are laying off the junk
that they were swinging at last year.

123
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.679
Okay, the stuff of the wild
movement outside of the strike zone and forcing

124
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.279
him to come in and when he's
coming in, he's getting Does that make

125
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.759
sense? Sure? So that would
be location that's different than walks being a

126
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.960
problem. So location, yeah last
year. Yeah, this last year's walk

127
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.840
rick was three point eight two.
Now you can argue, Timmy that maybe

128
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.159
people over evaluated him coming in this
season with nearly four walks per nine because

129
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.240
this year it's four point zero three, so it's very very similar to what

130
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:43.240
he did last year. But I
mean his ear a is double what he

131
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.480
did last year. Yeah, if
they're laying off the stuff that they were

132
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.120
traditionally swinging at prior to that and
forcing him to come in, that would

133
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.919
make sense, wouldn't it. And
they're hating it harder because they're laying off

134
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.759
that junk, okay, anticipating him
having to come in with something. You

135
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.360
know what I mean, if you
can't throw stripes with your breaking stuff,

136
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.240
well most baggers will just lay off. They'll sit back and wait till they

137
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:16.279
get something that they do. Like
I was just fastball velocity before we do

138
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.720
that. Just one other data point
that you might want to consider because maybe

139
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.080
maybe Dylan Sees isn't as good as
everybody thought he was so last year two

140
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:31.399
twenty ear a at two seventy x
eerie x earra comes from Baseball Saponts,

141
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:37.200
a baseball sponsoring liked him. But
fielding independent was actually when you factor when

142
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.720
you factor out the ball the ballpark, it was actually three fifty. This

143
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:48.120
year it's for twelve, So you
can argue he's an upper three's, upper

144
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.679
three ear A guy last year and
an upper three ear A guy this year.

145
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.679
I mean it's it's starting to get
pretty close. Yeah, because the

146
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.639
stuff Timmy looks almost identical. Let
me you ask the question, what's his

147
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.879
fastball velocity? Yeah, last year
it's ninety six point eight. Well this

148
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.039
year it's actually off a little bit, ninety five point six, So he

149
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:15.080
stuff is down, so not drastically, though not drastically. His spin rate

150
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:20.480
it was twenty five eighteen this year
on his fastball. Last year was twenty

151
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:26.600
five seven. So his fastball is
a little off this year from a velocity

152
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.840
standpoint, but ninety five six is
still good where he's touching ninety eight.

153
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:39.159
So yeah, it's interesting. It's
definitely something. It's going to be a

154
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.799
tough decision because I've got some I
got some pictures said I can invest in

155
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.399
as keepers. They'd give me considerably
more money to spend at the auction,

156
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.200
and eventually, you know that has
to come into play. You know what

157
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.639
my keeper plus the ten dollars,
what does that get me? Yeah,

158
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.320
And thinking about this and just looking
out I'll do a deeper dive for you,

159
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.799
but just looking at the data.
The data would suggest he was overdrafted

160
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.120
this year. He's probably more a
number two starter than he has a number

161
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.480
one starter, maybe even an upper
number three starter, just looking at what

162
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:24.600
the data says. Right, So
location is definitely off. But I mean,

163
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.000
he doesn't have a great walk rate, doesn't have one this year,

164
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.840
didn't have one last year. It
got a little lucky last year. He's

165
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.360
given up more hard hit rates this
year, but it's still my crazy bad

166
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:37.919
He's got good stuff, he just
can't locate it and he can't throw it

167
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:45.080
off strikes. Yeah, is that
going to change moving forward? What can

168
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.759
we expect next year? More and
more of more of this year, or

169
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.639
of bringing back to more of twenty
twenty two. I would have a tendency

170
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.080
to lean on twenty twenty three.
Well, twenty twenty one looked a lot

171
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:05.440
like twenty twenty one looked a lot
like more like twenty twenty two. Actually,

172
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.879
his actually his his walk rate has
come up three years in a row.

173
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.240
So it's three six nine and three
eight two than four than four h

174
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.759
three. His strikeout rate's been going
down since twenty twenty one, which is

175
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:28.360
not good. Yeah, he looks
like he is regressing, regressing tim So

176
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:37.080
his fastball velocity is going down,
his location is getting worse, his walk

177
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.279
rate is getting slightly worse, though
it's never been good. But if we

178
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:46.559
take a look ninety seven point seven
five average VELOSSI in twenty twenty, ninety

179
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:52.440
six seven in twenty twenty one,
ninety six eight, and ninety five six,

180
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.120
So twenty one to twenty two same
velocity, but definitely has come down

181
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:07.200
two miles in the last three years. That's significant. Ye, So I

182
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:13.480
feel you're I think you might be
onto something in terms of not necessarily no

183
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:20.279
brainer keeping him because it doesn't look
like the same guy to me. Well,

184
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:26.360
again, I've I've got options,
and it's all going to be a

185
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.679
boat whether or not. The option
plus some money to spend out the option

186
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.080
makes it a viable choice, right, and yeah, I'm gonna have some

187
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.759
I'm gonna have some decisions to make. Speaking of the Rays and Toronto,

188
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.320
did you see George Springer with an
infield the park infield inside the park home

189
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.960
run? No, I missed it. It was great. I mean he

190
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.320
hit it off the wall and it
kind of took a weird angle and got

191
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.399
away from the center fielder. Which
is MAINI Marco is a good center fielder,

192
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.759
but he kind of stood there and
watched it for a while after he

193
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.639
hit it, and then he took
off and he still hit an inside the

194
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.240
park come run, So that tells
you how far that ball was bouncing around

195
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.799
the outfield. It was very exciting. Yeah. I was gonna say if

196
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:15.080
he gave it a good spy before
getting out of the gates, Yeah,

197
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.399
that would have been exciting, no
doubt about it. Yeah, I went

198
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.720
to Uh, I went back to
the I was watching the Oriols game.

199
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.559
Then I went back to the Race
game because I'm gonna see Junior Camenario hit.

200
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.720
Unfortunately I missed the hit that he
got today, but uh it was

201
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.240
it was I think a very high
end velocity hit today. So guys,

202
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.559
I think he's gonna be good tim
Yeah. I watched. I watched yesterday

203
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.679
and I watched his approach and everything
he hits is gonna be hard hit.

204
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.759
Yep. His his swing is everything
he misses is going to be a hard

205
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.080
miss. That's just it's gonna be
a bleak injuries in his future. So

206
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:59.399
yeah, no, he is attacking
the ball the right way of putting it

207
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.400
to Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, he's full force. Yeah,

208
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.720
he swings hard when he makes connect, when he connects, yeah, it's

209
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.440
gonna go plazes, There's no doubt
about it. The question will be will

210
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:17.920
he connect enough, yes, I
think, or will he have to turn

211
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.960
it down? Now, turning it
down will come with age, but at

212
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.759
his age, that's still many years
away, isn't it. Look I mean,

213
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.400
Timmy, these guys that come up
and swing hard to hit the ball

214
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.720
hard, I mean, that's just
who they are. I mean, that's

215
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.559
these are really bat speed guys.
And a lot of these bat speed guys

216
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.640
are coming up from Latin America,
so they're all kind of going off their

217
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.960
countrymen in terms of what they're doing. And Junior came Innario is no different.

218
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.200
And a guy's gonna hit thirty forty
home runs and then it could come

219
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.440
with a you know, two sixty
two seventy batty average and a low one

220
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.240
base percentage. That's who the guy
is. I mean, yeah, two

221
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:59.599
sixty two seventy is fine. I
think he isn't. But look at a

222
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.759
strike right to strike it rate's always
been pretty reasonable. I think what is

223
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.759
an eighteen percent or so this year? Yeah, that makes good content.

224
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:11.279
I think besides the not walking a
lot, it's your Dan Alvarez type of

225
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.920
starter kit. So I think,
I mean it's a this is a this

226
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.519
is a player, my humble opinion
that the Rays have needed for years.

227
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.960
It's the middle of the order bat
that's going to hit home runs. He's

228
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.920
probably a DH. Maybe he plays
first or third, I don't know.

229
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.640
He's not a very good defender,
and he's just going to hit home runs.

230
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:36.960
I think it'll also hit. Yeah, well, I agree with you

231
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.319
on the raised needs yep. Yeah, they've always been able to find one,

232
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.319
two, three type bats, right, especially Tampathy or your bats number

233
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.599
Curtis Us. It's just like all
the guys that they've been bringing up is

234
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.680
a very good baseball player. But
Junior Camonario is a guy that they desperately

235
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:59.720
need. Yeah, they need somebody
the teams fear. Yeah, the cleanup

236
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.319
spot. Yeah, a guy that
can make a difference that with one swing

237
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.759
of the bat can add three runs
to this corporate Yeah. I think Rady

238
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.960
Rosarina is that guy too. But
I think he's a difference maker, I

239
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:17.400
really do. I think he's like
a lad junior type of like scary dude

240
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.359
in the middle of the lineup,
even the maybe Vlad Junior's not having the

241
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.359
best of seasons. That's the kind
of guy I think Connect Caminario can be.

242
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.200
I think he's really good. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see

243
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:33.240
Howard plays out. I'm glad we're
getting the opportunity to see HIMY glad,

244
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:41.960
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Unfortunately
that opportunity also erased any opportunities of seeing

245
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.240
him in Arizona, isn't it.
Yeah, let's take a break get back

246
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.680
because the finally, I mean finally, the Arizona Fall Leagues, the rosters

247
00:19:48.680 --> 00:20:03.160
are at let's talk about him.
Sounds good one of them. To me.

248
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.920
One of the things I've always looked
forward to is going to the Arizona

249
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:14.279
Fall League. It's in Arizona,
obviously every July, every usually every October,

250
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.440
in November. One year was in
I think it was in September,

251
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.799
early late year. They moved it. They moved it up almost a month

252
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.359
of one year. Yeah, that
was brutal. I was saying it was

253
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.599
one hundred and five degrees or something. So I've already checked the weather of

254
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.920
the week I'll be there. It's
ninety five, which is not not horrible.

255
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.000
So once it gets into triple digits, that's what counts, right,

256
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.160
that's what counts. Yeah. So
but this year, I think I've already

257
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.240
mentioned they're going mostly to night games, and that's gonna be I checked the

258
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.200
schedule throughout the whole year, and
it's mostly night games once or twice a

259
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.160
week. They will have just one
afternoon game. So it used to be

260
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.640
two afternoon games in one night game, but they switched up. Yeah,

261
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:00.640
they switched that around, which I
think makes sense given how it can be

262
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:06.680
well. Yeah, well, yeah, you're gonna you're gonna get well.

263
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.000
And also the other thing is you're
probably going to get more people out to

264
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:15.880
the games by increasing the number of
night games simply because not everybody, believe

265
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.519
it or not, in Arizona is
retired. You know, you'll be able

266
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:22.799
to get some families taking advantage of
evening games. Yeah. I will say

267
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.400
that, like you guy Scott's Sale
on Scott Sale in particular, that's a

268
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:32.079
pretty heavily attended night games, so
there's seems to be a lot of people

269
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:37.319
come into those games. Yeah.
No, I think it'll it'll help with

270
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.119
the attendance. So tomorrow I will
be recording a podcast. To me,

271
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.519
while i will go through all the
everything in detail, I've written all the

272
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.799
notes or sitting here in my top
in my six hundred prospects. To me,

273
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.200
there are fifty seven guys that will
be attending, so I'm gonna go

274
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.640
through all fifty seven, so it
could be a nine hour podcast. Well,

275
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.599
I'm going to ask you some questions, mister Mclouds. I'm gonna ask

276
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.880
you, okay, so we can
get your opinion and then I'll share a

277
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.559
few of mine. But I'm going
to give most of my stuff tomorrow.

278
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:12.960
What were your impressions when you saw
the rosters come out. I had some

279
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:21.839
concerns when heading into the roster announcement, okay, And most of my concerns

280
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.000
centered around the fact that with what
we've seen this year, okay, in

281
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:32.680
our changing game and going younger okay, and bringing up younger prospects early,

282
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:37.119
how would that affect the Arizona falling. And my hope was that we would

283
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.319
see, as we've seen in the
past, some elite talent, some mid

284
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:47.480
tier talent, and some players getting
a last look before they're shuffled off.

285
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:52.240
The forty man. That's sort of
a situation right, yep. Well my

286
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:57.599
first reaction was where are the elite
level prospects? I went to your top

287
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:03.279
two fifty, took a look.
Okay, the Arizona Fall League has always

288
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:08.680
had some elite talent present. Okay, you know, how would you define

289
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.680
how would you define how would you
define elite? How do you find elite?

290
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.839
How do I define it? Yeah? Players that can be with star

291
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:30.519
potential, that are on the cusp
of arriving the Jackson I found. Yes,

292
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.039
I wanted to see one of Holiday
or Cheerio, Dylan Cruz could have

293
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:38.400
been there. Jordan Lawlor, he's
up with the team. Where's Marcela Mayre?

294
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:45.519
Whyatt Lankford? Uh, Ethan Salas? Everybody likes to see a fourteen

295
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.440
year old catch he is? He's
on the IL So okay, okay,

296
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.359
well, hey, it would have
seemed like he would have been there.

297
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:59.680
How about James mhm hm. You
know I could go through the list,

298
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:04.720
Jane James Wood, Colton Cowser,
Walter Jenkins, Cold Keith, Where's Cold

299
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:11.160
Keith? Yeah? I go through
and I don't know if any of your

300
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:18.759
top thirty forty prospects are actually going
to be in attendance, and that concerns

301
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.319
me because let me let me ask
a question. I want to see some

302
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:23.680
of those big names, and why
do you think, why do you think

303
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:30.000
they're not there? I think they're
They are not there because they've put in

304
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:37.799
full seasons and their teams have determined
that they want to rest them. But

305
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:45.079
if I go back historically and take
a look, you know, Michael Trout

306
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:47.799
got in one hundred and some at
best at the big league level, and

307
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:55.039
he managed to show up along with
Bryce Harper, two Hall of Fame guys

308
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.359
were there, dead tired, They
were still there. They were still there.

309
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.599
Are we seeing a change in the
way the teams and the league is

310
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.839
approaching the Arizona Fall Lake? And
based on where I'm seeing, I would

311
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:12.599
have to say yes, because we
don't have We don't have any any top

312
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:18.839
twenty five prospects, do it?
Do you argue, maybe, Ricky Ricky

313
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.440
Tentaman if ye, yeah, I
mean I've got an option. It's not

314
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:26.279
there. And I find it very, very disappointing. I really do.

315
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.799
So it leads me to believe that
the future could be a very changed one.

316
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.279
I was joking about just taking and
moving the complex leg over and calling

317
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.400
it the AFL. That's possibility,
isn't it. Yeah, I tell me,

318
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.640
you're it's funny. I mean we
did not talk about this ahead of

319
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:48.240
time. Yeah, I think you
are spot on. It's first of all,

320
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.440
I mean it was the the MLB
marketing department not involved in any of

321
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.720
these decisions. I mean, I
mean, isn't this an opportunity to have

322
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.960
the force the team teams to at
least put some of their marquee players and

323
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.640
put them out. There's some very
good players coming, but like there are

324
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.440
all the guys you listed were good. The Yankees. They're the only team

325
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.759
that I'm going to go through tomorrow
that do not have And I think I've

326
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.000
got thirty of their players ranked.
None of them are going none of them,

327
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:26.079
not one, not a one.
There's all There are as guys that

328
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:30.039
are on the on the on the
bubble of the forty man roster, but

329
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.680
you don't. You don't have Spencer. I mean we're Spencer Jones. That's

330
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:38.039
their big marquee name. He should
be there. He's not, is he?

331
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:42.160
He is not? And well,
yeah, you know what if you

332
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:48.000
want to get people okay, Like
for me, the Arizona fall has been

333
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:53.000
a combination of a social event plus
seeing some of the top young players in

334
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.920
the game up close and personal.
Right, Well, if you're gonna take

335
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:03.119
the close and personal and the young
up and coming stars out of the equation,

336
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.559
it sort of leaves me to like, am I going to spend five

337
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:12.920
thousand bucks to make that trip?
Yeah, there's got to be something to

338
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:18.440
draw me. Other they hate the
social aspect definitely draws me. But I'm

339
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:23.160
just very disappointed in the elite talent
not being there. It feels like that

340
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:29.880
the baseball geeks took over this event
and said, look, we need to

341
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.279
make some decisions. We want to
get guys that are out there, who

342
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:36.039
are on the bubble to see if
we need to keep them, and they

343
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:40.920
forgot about the public. They forgot
that, Yeah, this is an opportunity

344
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.920
for us to showcase a talent.
Maybe. Then Tim comes in and says,

345
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.519
well, nobody goes to the games
anyway. Fear if you want more

346
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.839
televised, but you know, if
you don't try, they'll never be televised.

347
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.839
You'll never have people come. Well, yeah, yeah, you look

348
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:02.200
at where's Connor Norby, where's the
Baltimore Orioles list of prospect depth? You

349
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:06.440
know, what I mean. Yep, Yeah, it just it just seems

350
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:11.119
very it seems very disappointing to me. It is I got the Orioles.

351
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:15.480
Let's see who the Orioles one of
They have one top twenty five guy coming,

352
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:19.200
and that would be Billy Cook,
who I like. But he's a

353
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.200
forty man guy, right, That's
a guy that's in double A twenty four

354
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.000
years old, and they want to
see they want to keep him on the

355
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:30.279
forty man And that's a guy that's
probably out there. There's showcasing him potentially

356
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:37.559
to be moved. But that's that's
why he's there. Yeah, you know

357
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:45.240
where's Yeah, where's Cole Young or
brooks Lee or you know. There's just

358
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.680
so much talent that's available to see
so little of it. Like I said,

359
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.240
I I'm I'm bummed. I really
am. I you know, it's

360
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:57.039
funny. I I will I'm going
because actually I've got some meeting I've got

361
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:03.119
some meetings set up. I'm actually
gonna go to see some of the backfield

362
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.279
games, right, so I'll be
doing a lot of that. I'm actually

363
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.200
looking more forward to that. They
am the Fall League. I'm like,

364
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.880
like I've first of all, I've
seen so many of these players, and

365
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.960
they're very good players. But there's
nothing there that I want to take a

366
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:25.359
photo and put it on my Twitter
feed that says this is, here's here's

367
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.279
a junior Caminario or or Jackson Churio
up at bat. I mean, who's

368
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:36.400
going to care if I if I
put there and put lazarre M Martiris of

369
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.799
the Oakland A's is up? I
mean, who cares? Yeah? Yeah,

370
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:41.759
you know, Yeah, you want
to go to a game, you'd

371
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.920
like it'd be nice to see.
Wouldn't it be nice to see one of

372
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.400
the two Jacksons or Dylan Cruz.
Who is you know all the excitement is

373
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:53.799
you know why at Langford? You
know some some of the some of the

374
00:29:53.880 --> 00:30:00.680
true elite level prospects, James Woods, you know, James Wooden Washington,

375
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:04.279
that would get me excited. Yeah, yeah, even Max, even Max

376
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:07.319
Clark. Let's see what the kid
has. He was a number five pick,

377
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:14.880
wasn't her three pick? Yeah?
Yeah? Yeah, Well I can

378
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.279
tell you that James wood will strike
out a lot, because if you were

379
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.400
to go yes and Max Clark,
I think it won fifty in the in

380
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:29.559
low way. So he's that guy
really probably pound for pound is the most

381
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:33.680
talented of any player taken on draft
Day, the first round. But he's

382
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.240
got a ways to go. But
you know, if I'm there, if

383
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.240
I'm the Minnesota Twins and i'm you
know, I'm in that area, I

384
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.759
would have loved to have seen Max
Clark. Maybe I go. Maybe I

385
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.519
build myself a new fan. Maybe
it's a kid of the men of the

386
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.640
parents of the Minnesota Twins who go
that live out in that area, or

387
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.000
they decide to take a trip down
and they fall in love with Max Clark

388
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:02.160
and they become big. I think
there's some value there that's not going to

389
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:03.960
be there to this year ten.
Not going to be there. No,

390
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:08.119
no, exactly. So like I
said, yeah, I as I look

391
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:14.680
through you know, the upper rains, okay, of your prospect list,

392
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.079
so many of those players are already
playing in big leagues, aren't they.

393
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.720
Yeah? Yeah, the game has
changed. Let me ask another question.

394
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:32.160
Are we seeing the end of the
Arizona Fall League based on what the Arizona

395
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:37.759
Fall League has been historically and in
the past, Yeah, I think we

396
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:45.000
are. I think it's going to
be a very different league than what we

397
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:51.480
have come to expect, and I
think we have to as it appears major

398
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:56.279
League Baseball is doing. I think
we have to change our perspective on what

399
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.240
it once was as compared to what
it will be. And I don't think

400
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:04.880
they're one and the same. Yeah. Can you imagine the marketing department of

401
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.359
the baseball HQ guys trying to get
people to spend a few grand to come

402
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:12.200
down to see that. Let's come
see all the great young prospects. It

403
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.279
ain't there, Tim, It's not
there. Yeah. Yeah, it's uh

404
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.279
again, you know, when when
you're looking at a program like that,

405
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:24.160
there's there's more than just way more
than just the the on field product.

406
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:30.359
But yeah, it's gonna be tougher
and tougher to get people excited to actually

407
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:35.680
go to Arizona to watch the best
young players in the game if the best

408
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:38.000
young players in the game aren't there, right, Yeah, that's that was

409
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:42.559
I think you said it perfectly.
That was exactly how I felt. And

410
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.960
you know, I'm like looking at
him going, you know, I mean

411
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:49.319
the people that run baseball, I
mean, we can make fun of them

412
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:52.319
all we want. They're not stupid
people. I mean they understand what is

413
00:32:52.359 --> 00:33:00.680
out there, and it just seems
like somebody at the MLB executive level has

414
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.839
to say, look, this should
be a showcase as well. You need

415
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.160
to send some of your best players
as well, at least for a couple

416
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.720
of weeks. Dylan Cruz, Yes, he's tired. He could suck it

417
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:15.920
up for two weeks and go and
start a few games. Yeah, exactly.

418
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:20.519
Yeah, it's historically, you know, we've seen players who is one

419
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:25.240
of the Oh, Kyle Tucker,
he was totally disinterested in being there,

420
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:30.880
and his play reflected. We were
laughing because the only time it looked like

421
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:35.400
he showed down any motivation is when
there were scouts in the stands, probably

422
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.920
his own people, right, So
yeah, but other than that, you

423
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:44.319
know, Francisco Francisco Lindor seemed to
be very fairly indifferent. But at the

424
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.079
same point, at the same point
in time, we had we had a

425
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.359
player who's now closing in. He's
got the forty part and he's closing in

426
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:57.200
on the seventy and round. Laguna, who played December in January in Australia.

427
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:02.880
Okay, came back and attended spring
training and then worked his way through

428
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:08.079
three four levels all summer. He
managed to show up at the Arizona Fall

429
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:13.079
league, and he looked he was
enthused, he was happy to be there.

430
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:16.440
He was cheerleading from the dugout.
Yeah. So, hey, you

431
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:21.920
know what if Ronald acun you can
do it based on bouncing around from two

432
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:27.840
continents and playing basically baseball for a
full twelve months. Yeah, it soaking

433
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.519
the rest of them. Right,
Maybe you had a hint as to why

434
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:35.280
Ronald acun you was going to grow
into the best baseball player on the planet

435
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:40.480
because of the extra ward that he
had that other players clearly don't have.

436
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:45.039
Yeah. No, I remember watching
him and Victor Roebulis and both of them

437
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:50.519
in there. They were they were
cheerleading on from the dug It was fun.

438
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:53.000
It was fun to watch, It
really was. It's about allergence of

439
00:34:53.119 --> 00:35:00.000
careers there. Yes, not some
go so some goon or so. So.

440
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.880
I know, Tim, just this
the Arizona Fall League. But I

441
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:08.119
will be doing a podcast and there
are fifty seven guys that are worth monitoring.

442
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:12.639
Uh So, if you're interested in
that, I will go through and

443
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:16.480
briefly touch on all of them because
there are some very good players going that

444
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:22.519
maybe won't have much of you know, won't have the high end impact that

445
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.960
a lot of the players who will
not be going will have next season.

446
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.079
But for dynasty leagues, you know, there's a White Sox are sending a

447
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:35.599
nice little consortium to the you know, to the to the to the game,

448
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:40.519
and so they're Ramos is there and
that's you know, so there's some

449
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:46.840
there will be players there that dynasty
league owners in particular should be monitoring,

450
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:52.639
and I will go through those if
you are interested. Podcasts I'll record tomorrow.

451
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:57.199
Podcasts come out Tuesday or Wednesday.
Timmy, let's take a break.

452
00:35:57.239 --> 00:35:59.960
Get back. I got a few
more questions for you before you tell us

453
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:04.280
who you're gonna pick up this this
evening for next week. Does that sound

454
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:10.320
reasonable? Yeah, nobody there.
They're all hurt. They're all let's let's

455
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:27.840
take a break. So he was
hurt this year, that's why he is.

456
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:31.480
Yeah, exactly. That's gonna be
exciting to watch him pitch. So

457
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:36.039
do I see Zach Bean Zach Bean's
name there as well? I did not

458
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:40.039
see Zach Bean's name there? No, Okay, okay, there was enough.

459
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:44.639
I saw it under Evan. Oh
it's a picture the picture. Yeah,

460
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:46.920
there's a picture named Zach Bean or
they got a name wrong. I

461
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:51.559
thought I saw saw his name name
there, but yeah, no, And

462
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:55.280
again, sorry if I'm I'm being
a bit of a downer today, but

463
00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.679
it just when I Hey, when
I saw it, that's how I felt.

464
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:06.000
Look, you might be being a
downer, but I felt exactly the

465
00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:09.199
same way, and I wanted to
get your perspective. That's why I wanted

466
00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:13.199
to ask you the question. Not
tell me the three players you want to

467
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:15.559
see or anything like that, just
what were your impressions when you saw it?

468
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:19.079
Because when I saw it, I
went because the first thing I saw

469
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:25.280
was actually, I think a Mayo, the MLB writer what's his first name

470
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:34.039
anyway at MLB dot com pipeline,
Jonathan Yeah, yeah, And I saw

471
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:37.280
his and they had the the top
hundred guys that are there, and I

472
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.760
said, that looks like a small
list to me. He must have missed

473
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:45.239
somebody. And then I went and
actually looked at the rosters and I'm like,

474
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:49.760
oh, mah, this isn't good, this is no fun. So

475
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:53.159
yeah, yeah, Jonathan Mayo is
who the guy was thinking of. So

476
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:58.519
yeah, yeah, all right,
Tim, I got to get back to

477
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:04.039
the notes. H Ronald Dacunia,
as we talked about on Friday, you

478
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:06.960
were hoping he would play a lot. He's up to forty forty. I

479
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:12.280
don't know if he's gotten two solo
bases two solo bases or not today,

480
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:15.199
but he's going to be forty seventy. You know, he's going to get

481
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:17.719
at least two base hits over the
next few games, and he's going to

482
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:21.599
try to steal. He's going to
Timmy. It's he's gonna be forty seven.

483
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:27.880
How would you compare this season that
Ronald Dacunia is having to Aaron Judge's

484
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:38.119
historic season of sixty two home runs. I would have to list Aaron Judge's

485
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:44.920
accomplishment as being a greeder one.
Okay, why is that? Well,

486
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:52.559
because not that Ronald Dacunia couldn't be
forty seventy in the past. He's got

487
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:59.599
the wheels, Okay, where I
think he could have potentially produced that level

488
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:06.480
of season. I think when you
look at overall the stolen based category and

489
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:09.880
how it's being approached this year with
all of the changes, I'm going to

490
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:16.960
equate that forty seventy to forty fifty. Okay. Last year, the team

491
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:21.920
that led all of Major League Baseball
and stolen bases was the Texas Rangers.

492
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.360
Okay, with one hundred and twenty
eight. This year, the Reds are

493
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.639
leading major League Baseball with one hundred
and eighty one. Nine teams have already

494
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:38.039
passed the hundred twenty eight stolen bases
the Rangers accomplished last year. The rules

495
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:43.199
have changed. Now that does that
take away from Ronal Lacuna being a great

496
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:49.519
player, No, it certainly doesn't. But putting the same level of weight

497
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:54.159
on stolen bases year as compared to
last, I don't think it's fair.

498
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:59.760
Now again, you could say Aaron
Judge was playing with a with a loaded

499
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:02.159
ball for some of the sixty two
home run season, and we don't know

500
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:07.039
because Major League Baseball has been dicking
around with the baseball for like two three

501
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.480
years now. But I think the
scene. Do you have any like evidence

502
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:14.360
that it was a loaded ball?
Or is this just you know, hyperbole

503
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:17.440
your Yeah, it could be,
it could not be. I don't know.

504
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:23.079
Okay, major League Baseball has not
helped their case for legitimacy by screwing

505
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:27.360
around. I will agree with that, But there's there's no evidence that the

506
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:30.199
ball was loaded. No, I'm
just saying it could have been. Somebody

507
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:34.199
could say it is and I couldn't
deny it or I couldn't. You know,

508
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:37.719
I couldn't. I couldn't take either
side of that out. But I

509
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.920
will agree. Yeah, I have
a tendency to believe that Aaron Judge's sixty

510
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:51.239
two home run season is a is
a better accomplishment than Ronald kuna is forty

511
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:57.079
seventy. What would Ronald A Kuna
not? That's not that's yeah. If

512
00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:04.320
Ronald to Kunia next year goes fifty
seventy, how would that compare to Aaron

513
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:08.960
Judges? I mean, at what
point can you equate historically the sixty two

514
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:14.559
home runs, which you know was
around for forty fifty years. Does does

515
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:17.000
zacun you have to hit sixty three
home runs for it to be a better

516
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:22.239
season, or some other kind of
combination he can do that would equally equal

517
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:28.320
what Aaron Judge did last year.
They're different players and they play different games.

518
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.920
I yeah, hey, Run Lacoon, you're good hit sixty five home

519
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:37.719
runs. You know who knows it's
not out of a lead off that.

520
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:42.599
I don't think Run would be teeing
off that much. But he's got the

521
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.880
skill and the power to do it. There, it's two different stats.

522
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:52.159
Two different leagues, two different periods
of time. So for me to say,

523
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:57.760
hey, if run Lacuni next year, hit forty forty plus home runs

524
00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:02.239
and stole one hundred and twenty five
bases, he doubted my attention. Aaron

525
00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:15.280
Judge two twenty four over under one
hundred forty games. The safe bed is

526
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:20.280
to take the under. But I'll
say it's in the right area close,

527
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:23.639
That's what I because I don't.
I don't think you'll see. You won't

528
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:29.039
see Aaron moving forward. You won't
see Aaron Judge, even even though he

529
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:31.239
could steal twenty basses, you won't
see him doing it. I don't think

530
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:37.679
it'll be the same situation as Mike
Trout. Mike Trout could could have stolen

531
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:43.320
thirty basses every year of his career. There is no doubt in my mind

532
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:47.519
that Mike Trout could have been a
blank thirty stolen bass guy every year of

533
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:55.280
his career. He chose to take
the safe rout and ruled that out of

534
00:42:55.320 --> 00:43:00.079
the equation because of the obvious injury
risk. Okay, and I don't see

535
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:07.119
Aaron Judge ever stealing fifteen to twenty
stolen bases again. The Yankees want that

536
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:12.239
power bat line up. Why would
they have him running? I just typed

537
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:16.559
Mike Trout into Baseball Savant, and
you know, Michael Trout is thirty two

538
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:22.840
years old. But you take a
look at his hard hit rate and it's

539
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:27.280
ninety five percent tile. He's in
the ninety six percent tile and speed.

540
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:31.360
This is a guy who still has
crazy, crazy skills. And yeah,

541
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:35.679
I mean I don't see a whole
lot of slowing down. Now. He's

542
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:38.039
striking out a little bit more.
He's you know, I mean that's the

543
00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:43.159
only thing that he did this year. But I mean everything he's all read.

544
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:46.280
I mean, his his chart looks
fantastic. Still, Yeah, I

545
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:50.559
think the only thing you have to
be concerned about with Mike Trod is a

546
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:55.199
the team he's playing on, if
it's the Angels, and b there are

547
00:43:55.280 --> 00:44:00.760
some issues with that back, Oh
for sure, ye has he as he

548
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:05.800
ages it's it's not going to get
any better. How is that? Is

549
00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:08.960
that the right way of putting it
over under? Or maybe I should ask

550
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:12.800
you yes or no? The answer
is yes to all of your your points.

551
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:15.039
That's why he was not going to
steal bases. Does he get traded

552
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:22.719
in the off season? Yes or
no? I'm gonna say no. Does

553
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:28.480
Michael Trout ever say anything publicly that
he wished you would have been traded or

554
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:34.000
he hates playing for the Angels?
Does he ever say anything negative? Yes,

555
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:37.719
the day after he retires. Yeah, right, I would. Yeah.

556
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:42.400
He does not seem to be the
type of person that would, you

557
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.199
know, kind of say something negative
like that. He probably is thinking it,

558
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:51.000
but he's probably not gonna say it. Well. Yeah, And the

559
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:55.280
reality of the situation is he made
a commitment to stay in Anaheim, and

560
00:44:55.840 --> 00:45:00.039
one of the reasons was that huge
contract. Yeah. The other was familiarity

561
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:04.559
with the you know, he obviously
likes living and playing on the West Coast.

562
00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:06.679
Yeah, yeah, you know what
I mean. So, and he

563
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.599
got paid a bull with load of
money, so, you know, public

564
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:15.159
if he went public and complained,
there's a lot that can be thrown back

565
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:19.800
in his face. It's not positive. So why would he Yeah, and

566
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.480
it would it would not. I
don't I can't imagine him everything. I

567
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:27.039
mean that he's too much like Derek
Jeter. I mean, those guys just

568
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:30.239
always know what to say and what
not to say. I mean, it's

569
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:35.800
just I think they have that extra
gene that some players I know if I

570
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:37.880
was at that play at that level, I could never I would I couldn't

571
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:40.840
hold my tongue. I would say
exactly what I felt. But those guys

572
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:45.239
are just good. I mean,
they just they just deflect all that stuff

573
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:47.880
and just say I'm just gonna go
out and play my best and put my

574
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.239
best effort on the field and hope
the team wins. That's just that's their

575
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.000
answers. So yeah, I was
gonna say every injure you from for the

576
00:45:55.079 --> 00:46:01.800
most part, tim lost time,
they all say the same. They all

577
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:05.480
say, can you repeat that,
Timmy? Yeah, if I'm here,

578
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:09.519
you'd say that again. What did
you say when you get two elite players?

579
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:14.440
Okay? Dealing with the press,
all of their interviews are the same.

580
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:17.559
Yeah. Yeah, they're all very
positive for the most part, you

581
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:20.920
know what I mean, And they
don't say. I mean, it'd be

582
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:23.800
you know, it'd be nice if
somebody actually told you what was really happening.

583
00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:28.559
I think I would appreciate that more
so. So Okay, yeah,

584
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:32.840
we'd appreciate it. But I can't
see it. I can't see it really

585
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:37.679
happening. Yeah, I mean,
that's so entertaining about Trevor Bauer, I

586
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:39.440
mean, he would tell you exactly
what he felt, and I thought that

587
00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:44.079
was refreshing. Now it turned out, yeah, he maybe that had a

588
00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:46.519
double edged sword, but at least
I liked that part of it. So,

589
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:52.039
yeah, Tommy fam is refreshing in
that way too, is I thought,

590
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.920
tom did you see the comments?
That's that's yeah, that was not

591
00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:59.639
good to him, that I mean, and it was it was. I

592
00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:02.119
mean, you have to consider the
source of Tommy fan, but he probably

593
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:07.559
spoke the truth. Well, he
doesn't have any reason to lie, does

594
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:09.639
he know? His career is what
it is. He's not going back to

595
00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:15.119
the match. He doesn't have any
reason to pump anything up, and yeah,

596
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:17.519
it is what it is. And
he doesn't have any reason to die

597
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:22.960
it and he doesn't does he including
his fantasy football league play. Yeah,

598
00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:27.519
but I would think back to what
he said, it fits like, yeah,

599
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:30.480
and it's an ent Yeah, Frankly, Yeah, Joe Walter, right,

600
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:35.719
I mean because buck Joe Walters letting
the you know, the the Indians

601
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:38.800
are running the asylum or whatever the
no, not the Indians are Who's who's

602
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:42.719
running. The crazies are running the
asylum. I think that's that's what he

603
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:46.400
that's his Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, the tail is wagging the

604
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:51.599
dog. Use whatever metaphor you want
that you want to use. But at

605
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:54.639
some point in time, Buck is
going to be gone and somebody is going

606
00:47:54.719 --> 00:48:00.960
to move into that situation and they're
gonna have their hands full in a big

607
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:07.840
way, because hey, you can
put up with just about anything. Okay.

608
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:13.880
And again I'm not taking Tommy FAM's
word the gospel, but assuming there

609
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:15.880
was some truth in what he was
saying, and I have to assume there

610
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:20.360
was, that's you know, you
can get away with that, okay,

611
00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:23.320
when you're winning your division and you
got a World Series belt under you know

612
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:27.199
what I mean? You can,
Yeah, you can get it getting away

613
00:48:27.239 --> 00:48:29.800
with a lot more when things are
going good. But when things aren't going

614
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:34.039
good, yeah, that that changes
the equation a little bit. And whoever

615
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:37.840
does take over at some point in
time for Buck Shoals or they're gonna they

616
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:44.960
could have their hands full well over
under Buckshaw Walter is fired as a Mets

617
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:51.199
manager, yes or no, Yes, I think you will be. I

618
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:53.400
think i'd be surprised if he's right. I'd be surprised if he's running that

619
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:58.960
team next year. I would I
think it changes in the win. Yeah,

620
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:00.840
whether he deserves that are not to
him. I mean you can we

621
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.400
can debate that. We don't have
we're not in the knowledge. But I

622
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:09.639
would think public it would be great
from a public view for them to just

623
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:14.079
you know, look, they've got
David Stearns in there now, and let's

624
00:49:14.119 --> 00:49:17.159
just new do a new field manager. Let's just reboot this whole thing.

625
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.800
Well yeah, you know, hey, we definitely know that they're interested.

626
00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:28.920
They will be signing players, they
will be making moves. Personally. I

627
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:34.960
think they're one of the leading candidates
for Yamamoto should he be posted, and

628
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:38.960
that I can't you can't rule o
Tawny, how did the equation? Yeah,

629
00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:44.920
Hey, the Mets have to make
some changes. They simply have to.

630
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:47.639
I have a two more questions to
ask you before we pick up your

631
00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:51.559
waiver warts. I mean, and
it's your Dan Alvarez. I know he's

632
00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:53.000
is playing in the field today,
but he hasn't been playing in the field

633
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:58.559
because he hurt his elbow. It's
an elbow, it's a knee, it's

634
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:01.400
a back, and I of the
player. He is only twenty six years

635
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:06.400
old. Yeah, it Why does
it feel like he's thirty six years old,

636
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:10.440
Tim that I mean it just I
worried long term that this body is

637
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:15.079
gonna hold up. And I mean
he's a wonderful player, but he never

638
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:19.199
plays a full season. He gets
hurt a lot. Do you consider that

639
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:27.519
when you're drafting next season? I
think I think he's still at the stage

640
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.800
where people will take a look.
You can say, man, there's forty

641
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:35.880
home runs, one hundred and twenty
RBIs there, okay, and you can

642
00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:39.760
hit and they'll discount, they'll discount
the injuries. My approach is going to

643
00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:44.199
be a little bit different. It's
gonna be probably, I think, a

644
00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:46.320
little bit more along the lines of
what you're looking. I'm gonna count if

645
00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:50.280
I'm looking at your Dan Elvers,
I'm gonna count on twenty five to thirty

646
00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:54.440
home runs and eight eighty five RBIs
okay. That's what I'm going to put

647
00:50:54.480 --> 00:51:04.639
in the bank and have a reserve
bat that paired to go into my act

648
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:08.599
or brasser and combined with Alvarez,
then it gives me the forty home runs

649
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:12.119
because I have a hard time,
based on what we've seen thus far,

650
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:16.719
believing that your Dan Alvarez can get
in five hundred and fifty eight at bats.

651
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:22.280
So the safe the safe play is
to count on twenty five to thirty

652
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:25.559
home runs, eighty five RBIs and
have a no fielder at already. And

653
00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:30.880
that won't allow me the opportunity right
now to draft your Dan Alvarez. Somebody

654
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:35.920
will pay a higher price. He
did not play in two twenty two games.

655
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:38.119
He was hurt the whole season,
can abbreviated season. One hundred and

656
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:42.960
forty four games in twenty twenty one, one hundred and thirty five last year,

657
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:46.039
and he's had one hundred and seven
let's call it one hundred and twelve

658
00:51:46.199 --> 00:51:51.519
or so that he'll get by the
end of the season. That's not that's

659
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:54.960
a trend, that's not going in
the right direction. No, it's not.

660
00:51:55.360 --> 00:52:01.519
And I think if you want to
take the risk that he does something

661
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:06.840
he hasn't done in the past three
years, go and take the risk.

662
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:10.280
It could win you a league.
But I can't. I can't see taking

663
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:14.239
that risk for him. Is he
a first round pick next year? Not

664
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:15.800
for you, I'm not saying for
you. But does he go in the

665
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:20.760
first round next year? No,
He'll probably go towards the back of the

666
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:24.800
second early third would be my guess. Yeah, he'll probably, he'll probably

667
00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:30.800
go off the board as a top
top thirty five player. I might take

668
00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:34.599
him in the third round. Maybe
I'd have to think about that. But

669
00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:37.639
because you're right, I mean you
do. I think counting twenty five to

670
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:43.760
thirty and eighty five RBIs feels like
the right approach as opposed to penciliana and

671
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:45.719
forty and then I've got my power. I don't have to worry about it

672
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:51.880
anymore. I think you do.
Yeah, I think you have to have

673
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:57.360
that backup. You gotta have somebody
on your seven man reserve that is capable

674
00:52:57.400 --> 00:53:01.000
of playing the oat field just to
cover off. We've been talking Corbyn,

675
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:06.679
Carrol Gunner, Henderson Junior, came
Area, We've been talking all of these

676
00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:09.440
kids, Tim and it's fun to
talk about him because we don't know what

677
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:13.400
we can do. It's boring to
talk about Mookie Betts. Yeah, he's

678
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:20.039
really really good. But Evan Carter
is hitting three twenty five with three home

679
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:24.679
runs and three solom basses and fifteen
games. He looks really good. Yet

680
00:53:25.159 --> 00:53:30.599
we're not talking about him. I
don't see anything out there about Evan Carter.

681
00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:37.239
Yeah, that's that's both good and
bad. It's bad because we should

682
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:38.719
be talking about it. It's good
because if we don't talk about him,

683
00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:44.880
we might get him at a bit
of price next Year's pretty totally. I

684
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:47.440
mean, he's a very very good
place, not flashy. He's not gonna

685
00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:51.519
he's not gonna pull a junior came
in area of one hundred and twenty mile

686
00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:54.800
an hour exs of velocity and everybody
goes crazy because you know you're dreaming a

687
00:53:54.840 --> 00:54:00.199
forty home runs. This is a
very good baseball player. Yeah, I'm

688
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:04.320
very happy with what I've seen from
Evan Carter. And you look at the

689
00:54:04.480 --> 00:54:07.599
Rangers situation. Okay, they got
some big money tied up in that squad,

690
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:10.960
but the outfield, you know,
Adolas Garcia has got one spot,

691
00:54:12.280 --> 00:54:15.480
okay, and he's heading into his
first year of arbitration. Okay. Leodist

692
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:19.880
Diverse right now has a center field
gig, but he hasn't had much of

693
00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:22.719
a second half. He showed improvement
in the first half, but the second

694
00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:27.039
half he's serve falling off a cliff
and that leaves Evan Carter in left field,

695
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:30.159
and it looks like left field is
all his for the taking, and

696
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:35.920
it looks like he's ready. I
could see a fifteen thirty three fifty OBP

697
00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:40.440
type player next year. And on
top of all the goodness I just mentioned,

698
00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:45.239
the Rangers could also use a left
handed bat in that lineup. Yep.

699
00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:49.079
Ye. The only disadvantage it is
probably going to hit eighth or ninth,

700
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:53.360
right, That's the only downside with
Evan Carter. Yeah. The runs,

701
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:57.719
Yeah, the run score could be
a little bit lower, but if

702
00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:00.000
he gets at a three fifty OBP
who's hitting, it's a copy the order

703
00:55:01.079 --> 00:55:07.400
if he's baseball players, So yeah, yeah, he'll lose him at bats

704
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:12.119
okay, and and opportunities. But
at the same point in time, he

705
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:15.960
could still score eighty plus runs hitting
at the back end of the Rangers lineup.

706
00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:21.559
Yeah. I like him a lots
over two or two strikeouts a day,

707
00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:24.440
just in fairness, but he's been
extremely good. He's he was hurt

708
00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:28.360
a little bit this season, Timmy, but he's always performed extremely well.

709
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:31.960
Is very young, so they've been
they've been aggressive with him, and I

710
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:37.719
mean the only fly in the ointment
could be mister Wyatt Lankfort. So uh,

711
00:55:38.119 --> 00:55:40.960
he's gonna be up next season.
He might even break camp. So

712
00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:45.679
that's Evan Carter better hit because because
you just went through it. Uh,

713
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:52.519
it might be Leot Tavers is the
guy that's odd man out and Carter placed

714
00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:58.119
center field and White lankforts and left. Well, they've given to Tavares plenty

715
00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:00.840
of opportunities. Absolutely, okay,
and the yeah, and the first half

716
00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:07.320
looked really, really good, but
he really has stumbled badly in the second

717
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:09.679
half this year. So, hey, Evan Carter can play center field.

718
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:14.400
Candy he can't. That's out of
all of those guys you mentioned, he's

719
00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:19.639
the one that I would be very
careful next year of penciling and anything next

720
00:56:19.679 --> 00:56:24.079
time because White Langford is common man. Yeah, he's common m Yeah,

721
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:28.320
it's again. Rangers are gonna have
a really good team again next year.

722
00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:31.920
They got really good teams. So
but let's see. But Jacob Degram might

723
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:37.880
be their second half of next season. Maybe his native old he gonna resign

724
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:39.800
with them? Is can we even
expect? Is he gonna go back to

725
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:44.800
being an old native OLDI or the
native OLDI we see every four years who

726
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:47.000
looks really good? So, I
mean, and Dane Donning, is he

727
00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:51.960
really back? They need pitching to
him? Well, yeah, they need

728
00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:57.039
pitching. But even without the pitching, they're gonna score enough runs. If

729
00:56:57.079 --> 00:57:01.159
they're they're gonna win ninety games next
year. Yep, yep. To me,

730
00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:04.599
it's like a break get back and
let's hear, let's hear the guys

731
00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:17.400
you're picking up. I mean,
I need help. My job is barely

732
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:22.559
getting in the way of my fantasy, my fantasy hobby here, Tommy,

733
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:27.320
I am just not paying attention.
So I need you to tell me who

734
00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:31.119
to pick up here the last week
because I am writing and digging into prospects

735
00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:35.599
and talking to people, and I'm
not managing my teams very well. So

736
00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:39.840
help me, my friend. Well, the biggest help that I can give

737
00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:46.599
right now is to take a good
look at the games today. Follow it,

738
00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:52.679
follow it very very carefully, and
fine players that look like they're going

739
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:57.800
to get at bat's fine pictures who
you think are going to get the work,

740
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:02.199
and go with them. One player
that I'm going to that's that's requiring

741
00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:07.880
work t him. I want you
to tell me I should pick up Junior

742
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:10.760
Caminaro. Yeah, if he's available, they're you know in re draft leaks.

743
00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:14.760
He you know, the Raises only
have five games. He's gonna play

744
00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:21.760
every every day. Curtis Meats should
play just about every days. Looking at

745
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:30.760
h at Toronto, Let's look at
Bijio. He's playing virtually every day now,

746
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:35.679
Okay, glad he's dealing with H. I believe it's a leg issue,

747
00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:38.760
Okayne. And he he did well. He did hit a home run

748
00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:43.559
to day, so I think he
had two. Oh we had two home

749
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:46.079
runs a day? Yeah, he
did. Yeah, But Bijo was playing

750
00:58:46.159 --> 00:58:51.280
for first base, playing a fair
bit of the first base and he's actually

751
00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:55.440
been playing fairly well lately. Little
for five with three with three strikeouts today,

752
00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:59.639
So not been a good day from
the only guy that didn't get a

753
00:58:59.719 --> 00:59:05.320
hit to day. But again,
look for players who are going to play

754
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:09.320
every day, and hey, stay
on top of what's happening today, so

755
00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:14.400
you don't pick up somebody who's injured. What David Schneider is he getting a

756
00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:17.239
chance to play? I haven't been
following. Uh, he's been slumping of

757
00:59:17.400 --> 00:59:23.159
late, come back down to earth, So he'd be a player that I'm

758
00:59:23.320 --> 00:59:29.039
not a hundred percent sold on heading
into the last week of play. The

759
00:59:29.159 --> 00:59:30.800
Jays will do whatever they need to
do, and I can see them going

760
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:36.039
back up back to matchups, possibly
with Schneider. Here's a here's a name

761
00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:38.119
for you, a blast from the
past, and a guy that I'm targeting

762
00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:43.800
in in a couple of weeks.
Joe Odell. Yeah, he hit a

763
00:59:43.800 --> 00:59:45.480
home run yesterday, didn't he.
Yeah, he's hit a couple in the

764
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:49.119
past week. If I'm not mina
stay, he can hit home run simmy.

765
00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:54.159
Yes, this question is can he
hit well? Doesn't doesn't matter.

766
00:59:54.920 --> 00:59:59.559
In LA, They're gonna give him
playing time. Yeah. Yeah, he's

767
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:04.159
gonna get opportunities. And again that's
the sort of that's the sort of player

768
01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:07.519
you got to look for. As
far as pitching is concerned, pitching is

769
01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:12.440
always a mess. Okay, the
last week of the season, as teams

770
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:16.639
clinched towards midweek, your two start, your veteran that was pencil in for

771
01:00:16.679 --> 01:00:20.920
two starts because they might need him
in the second one while the team clinches.

772
01:00:21.039 --> 01:00:23.639
Guess what, He goes out and
throws fifteen pitches in the first inning

773
01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:29.519
and walks off. Right. Yeah, Your best bet with two start pitchers

774
01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:36.079
is to find guys that are either
on contending teams you believe will be playing

775
01:00:36.159 --> 01:00:42.639
next weekend or on teams that are
totally out of it, and you know

776
01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:45.920
they'll start them simply because they will, you know what I mean. It's

777
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:51.960
ay, there's nothing on the line, right, so it doesn't matter what

778
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:55.199
you do as far as you're pitching, it's it's going to get screwed up.

779
01:00:55.239 --> 01:00:59.599
The last week of the season for
starting pitching is always tough because of

780
01:00:59.679 --> 01:01:06.079
all the various circumstances that come into
play. So again, hey, when

781
01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:08.639
we get to talking about two start
pitching, you know, again, that's

782
01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:14.079
something that we should take into consideration. Like, yeah, Baltimore, Okay,

783
01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:19.000
you know John Means is just back
right, yep, I pitched a

784
01:01:19.159 --> 01:01:22.519
gem in his last oating. But
is John Means going to Are they going

785
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:28.119
to throw him out there for seven
innings? Baltimore of a gasbook blanching.

786
01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:30.840
You know, Timmy, he hasn't
three four here. Yeah, I would

787
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:34.719
think he has a chance at least
go five innings. I would think they'd

788
01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:38.719
want to get stretched out. Yeah, and remember that the Orioles are looking

789
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:43.000
more and more likely that they're going
to get a buy in the first round,

790
01:01:43.639 --> 01:01:47.800
so they want to make sure that
I like Kyle Bradish and Kramer,

791
01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:51.599
these guys that have pitched all season. Yeah, you could see that being

792
01:01:51.679 --> 01:01:54.360
one or two innies. I think
John means goes. I guess five or

793
01:01:54.400 --> 01:02:00.760
six innings. So that's yeah.
Yeah, you're looking at You'll look at

794
01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:06.039
a team like Miami. Okay,
I think Uri Perez is pitching midweek now.

795
01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:10.239
Nope, nope, nope, he
got hurt. Uri pres Uri Perez

796
01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:20.400
has a capsule issue or something something
wrong with him. M Okay, you

797
01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:27.440
didn't hear it again. Just be
just be very careful, be very careful

798
01:02:27.519 --> 01:02:30.800
with your pitching, and in some
cases you're gonna get burnt. That's all

799
01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:36.360
there is doing. Yeah, the
marble face Perez on the fifteen day entry

800
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:42.159
list. Yeah, SI joint inflammation, so sports illustra he was carrying too

801
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:46.119
many sports illustrators around him, and
so he's got that that will do it.

802
01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:49.840
That puts him up there with Clint
Barns in the deer meat. Right.

803
01:02:50.239 --> 01:02:55.760
I'm let's see what a SI joint
is. SI joint inflammation would be.

804
01:02:57.039 --> 01:03:01.159
I don't even know where is what
is your SI lumbar? SP's back

805
01:03:01.559 --> 01:03:07.760
looks like I was gonna say,
sigh, I know I SI avowed everything

806
01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:12.159
every time I move outside. Apparently
it's it's it can be associated with pregnancy,

807
01:03:12.920 --> 01:03:20.440
but perhaps he's pregnant. Yeah,
well, we have seen just about

808
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:22.159
everything this year. We can add
that one to the list. Uh,

809
01:03:22.519 --> 01:03:27.960
let's see anybody else, any closed
guy that might get a say for for

810
01:03:28.199 --> 01:03:37.480
our listeners that maybe uh people aren't
thinking about. Well there there have have

811
01:03:37.719 --> 01:03:43.599
been some changes, uh in the
in the ranks of the closers. You

812
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:47.960
know, Martin is back in a
setup role. Uh Uh, Kenley Jansen's

813
01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:55.800
back. Okay, you look at
uh uh Kansas City. Okay, it

814
01:03:55.960 --> 01:04:00.559
looks like MacArthur has moved into the
favorite in that committee situation. Okay,

815
01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:04.599
but again you're looking at kens He
said, how many games are they gonna

816
01:04:04.639 --> 01:04:11.039
win? MacArthur's a better option right
now than say her nand is Uh he's

817
01:04:11.039 --> 01:04:14.840
been very disappointed. I thought he
would he would, He has good stuff.

818
01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:20.559
Yeah, he just didn't. He
laid an egg m. Yeah.

819
01:04:20.679 --> 01:04:25.159
You look at the Rangers. Okay, I don't know. Did you see

820
01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:29.599
Chapman yesterday? He got the save, Yeah, he got the save,

821
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:33.159
but he was all over the place
like and I don't mean just all over

822
01:04:33.239 --> 01:04:41.360
the place. I mean we're talking, we're talking major league the closer they

823
01:04:41.400 --> 01:04:45.119
couldn't find. We're taught he was
all over the place, Lsie La Clerk

824
01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:47.719
might be an option if we came
with Chapman. I mean, he was

825
01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:51.719
terrible last year and the first five
months of this season four and a half

826
01:04:51.760 --> 01:04:56.400
months he looked like vintage rolled as
Chapman. But as soon as he got

827
01:04:56.480 --> 01:05:01.119
traded, the wheels have just fallen
off. He's been absolutely brutal. Yeah,

828
01:05:01.320 --> 01:05:05.960
it's again. He did not look
good yesterday at all. I wouldn't

829
01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:11.000
be surprised if I was eight Clerk
gets some saves. I traded in this

830
01:05:11.559 --> 01:05:15.559
last week, I traded a rolled
as Chapman in a Dynasty League going into

831
01:05:15.639 --> 01:05:21.519
the deadline for Ranger Suarez. I
was, I was thrilled. I'm like,

832
01:05:23.960 --> 01:05:26.960
I'm done with a rolled as Chapman. Sure you can take this old

833
01:05:27.440 --> 01:05:30.679
guy that's probably not going to be
a closure again. Then I picked up

834
01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:32.880
I thought a decent picture. I
was very happy. Yeah, yeah,

835
01:05:33.039 --> 01:05:39.079
yeah. You look at Baltimore and
Canoa hasn't really stepped it up. Okay,

836
01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:43.679
in the in the absence, uh, in the absence, in a

837
01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:48.519
big absence of Felix Batista. Okay, so you could see Sional Perez getting

838
01:05:48.599 --> 01:05:55.480
some saves along with you know,
possibly colombie. It's it's it's a little

839
01:05:55.480 --> 01:05:58.360
bit of a it's a little bit
of a mess in Baltimore for saves.

840
01:05:58.840 --> 01:06:02.239
But again, we're down to seven
days, right. I heard Felix Batista

841
01:06:02.400 --> 01:06:08.199
was was thawing some bullpen sessions.
Yeah, yeah, maybe we'll see him,

842
01:06:08.519 --> 01:06:10.559
Maybe we'll see him back in the
It would be good, I mean,

843
01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:14.920
particular in the playoffs. Yeah.
You look at you look at the

844
01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:18.880
Reds and all of a sudden,
Alexis Diaz. Look, he's looking tired.

845
01:06:19.239 --> 01:06:25.800
He's had a long season. Yeah, that's awful, awful, the

846
01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:28.880
last two I have in four or
five leagues. So yes, that one

847
01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:31.719
hurt. Yeah, but again,
what do you do? What do you

848
01:06:31.840 --> 01:06:34.519
do? What do the Reds do? You know? Do they give Lucas

849
01:06:34.519 --> 01:06:39.280
Simms a shot? Well, maybe
they do, but my guess is they'll

850
01:06:39.320 --> 01:06:43.400
go back to Diaz and hopefully he's
gotten up left in the tank. Even

851
01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:46.840
Ryan Presley has had mixed results lately. It's we're nearing the end of the

852
01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:51.719
year and some of these guys are
just flat out tired. You know.

853
01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:59.159
We could see Matt Matt Brash getting
saved in Seattle over munios again, is

854
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:02.920
that do I believe do I believe
that long term affects anything. No.

855
01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:09.039
I think Munios goes into goes into
the season next year. Okay, as

856
01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:12.800
as the closer, but again you
could see Matt Brash with a save.

857
01:07:13.199 --> 01:07:16.119
Who knows, you know, who
knows what Detroit's gonna do with with Lang?

858
01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:20.159
You know again, up down and
all around. Uh. As far

859
01:07:21.400 --> 01:07:25.639
as what I would do, I
would the two guys that I would probably

860
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:30.639
look at picking up it would be
jose lac Clerk would be one uh and

861
01:07:31.239 --> 01:07:35.599
MacArthur. Those would be the two
that I would probably focus on this week

862
01:07:35.719 --> 01:07:41.159
if I was looking for if I
was looking for saves, and everything else

863
01:07:41.440 --> 01:07:45.320
is just a total. You know, hey, Kirby Yates in Atlanta,

864
01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:48.440
he could find himself working in the
ninth inning as they rest I Glaciers heading

865
01:07:48.440 --> 01:07:51.360
into the playoffs and mentor you know, they've both thrown a lot of balls

866
01:07:51.400 --> 01:07:55.639
this year. I could see them
giving Kirby Yates an opportunity for saves,

867
01:07:56.880 --> 01:08:03.920
any other any other pickups, tim
any other pickups? No, not not

868
01:08:04.119 --> 01:08:08.280
really. Again, what you've got
to focus on are the specific needs of

869
01:08:08.360 --> 01:08:14.239
your team where you can make some
moves and just go out and find what

870
01:08:14.400 --> 01:08:17.319
you believe to be the best option
to fill, to fill that opportunity I

871
01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:24.159
am taking into consideration. Yeah most
most, yeah, most, most people

872
01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:27.640
don't have any money left. But
again, when you're putting your bids together,

873
01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:30.560
you should be looking at what other
people have for money. And yeah,

874
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:36.680
hey, if if rich Wilson has
thirteen dollars left and you can catch

875
01:08:36.760 --> 01:08:40.680
him in a league, well you
should be bidding fourteen dollars, right,

876
01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:44.000
he got to do a little work
this week, you know, take a

877
01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:48.720
look at what others have left over
for fab and what you spend is irrelevant

878
01:08:48.840 --> 01:08:51.640
because you don't get that cash back
at the end of the year. And

879
01:08:51.680 --> 01:08:57.159
this is the last kick at the
can. So go forward, aggressively,

880
01:08:58.359 --> 01:09:00.720
sick another break it back. And
let's talk about two star pitchers. Good

881
01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:15.600
advice from the Great timber Cloud.
Different kind of two start pitchers, Timmy,

882
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:18.960
I just want you to tell me, Okay, they're gonna actually how

883
01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:24.560
many total innings are they gonna throw? Louis Castile and Justin Verlin are both

884
01:09:24.720 --> 01:09:30.319
and Kevin Gaalsman all three have two
starts. How much can we expect in

885
01:09:30.399 --> 01:09:35.439
their last start? In particular,
dings pitched? Uh It depends on what's

886
01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:45.840
what's on the line. If it's
looking at the Mariners, I think what's

887
01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:48.920
gonna happen is the Mariners and Rangers
are gonna beat up on each other and

888
01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:55.760
give the Jason opportunity. Okay,
So I think Castillo's second start against Texas,

889
01:09:56.000 --> 01:09:58.159
you know, on the last day
of the season, he's going up

890
01:09:58.199 --> 01:10:00.399
against John Gray. Second second to
the last day, Saturday. Yeah,

891
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:04.000
yeah, the thirtieth. Yeah,
I think that game is still gonna count,

892
01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:09.319
so I think. But Gassman and
Verlander are going up on Sunday,

893
01:10:09.319 --> 01:10:13.439
I would think that's that's going to
be somewhat a meaningless game, don't you

894
01:10:13.520 --> 01:10:18.319
think. I think the potential for
it. I think it could mean more

895
01:10:18.439 --> 01:10:24.399
for Verlander than it will for Ghostman. I think the Jays are in the

896
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:28.000
situation with again and again. I'll
have to look and see what the schedule

897
01:10:28.039 --> 01:10:33.119
looks like after this, but it's
all about who's going to be Who's gonna

898
01:10:33.159 --> 01:10:40.000
clinch before the Saturday, right and
obviously if the Jays, if Seattle clinches,

899
01:10:40.800 --> 01:10:43.000
oh you know, Castillo is not
going to pitch. If the Jay's

900
01:10:43.079 --> 01:10:47.199
clinch, hey, you know,
Ghostman's not gonna he's not gonna pitch on

901
01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:53.560
that Saturday Sunday. So accordingly,
you know you're gonna have to sit down

902
01:10:53.600 --> 01:10:58.680
and look at the schedule and make
a decision as to what you believe is

903
01:10:58.720 --> 01:11:01.239
going to happen. And I can't. I can't tell you that. Let

904
01:11:01.359 --> 01:11:04.600
me guess it's just as good as
your's. The only thing I know is

905
01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:12.199
with Seattle and Texas playing playing a
whole host of games, one would think

906
01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:17.000
that works in favor of the Jays. I would be out of those three

907
01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:20.319
if I really wanted to try to
get two wins out of him, I

908
01:11:20.359 --> 01:11:25.479
can only pick one. I would
go with Luis Castile. Nothing to do

909
01:11:25.600 --> 01:11:28.640
with the quality of the pitcher.
I just think the fact that his game

910
01:11:28.720 --> 01:11:32.119
is on Saturday, he's got the
most likely guy to pitch two games because

911
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:35.119
I think that Saturday game has a
chance to count. Let me ask you

912
01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:41.039
another kind of crazy question. Blake's
now two starts, Yes, right,

913
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:45.760
been the best pitcher in the National
League. So say people, as a

914
01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:50.880
as a as an owner, I
can debate that. Is he he's not

915
01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:54.760
going to be with the Padres next
year. He's playing for a contract.

916
01:11:55.439 --> 01:12:00.479
Does he rest on his Laurels and
say, hey, I'm not gonna I'm

917
01:12:00.479 --> 01:12:02.119
not going to risk it. I've
had a great season. I'm a good

918
01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:08.279
chance I'm gonna win the Nationaligue cy
young and barely pitching these last two games?

919
01:12:08.439 --> 01:12:12.760
Or is he put the pedal to
the metal and go full boar on

920
01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:15.159
a Monday start? Excuse me,
on a Monday start and a Sunday start?

921
01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:21.520
What say you? Full bar?
I'm thinking full boar. He seems

922
01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:25.880
like a kind of guy that would
not low foot going in. He would

923
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:28.840
he would go for it. Yeah. Yeah, I think he's gonna pitch

924
01:12:28.920 --> 01:12:31.760
the I think he's gonna go for
the full, the full nine yards.

925
01:12:31.880 --> 01:12:35.680
Yeah, I'm not concerned about Blake
Snell per se. Yeah, all right,

926
01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:41.119
let's get to some true two start. Here's Adrian Howser home against the

927
01:12:41.720 --> 01:12:46.159
Cardinals, and Zach Thompson and home
against the Cubs and Justin Steele on Sunday.

928
01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:51.079
I think he, I think he. I think they roll them out

929
01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:56.600
there for both starts, even though
that right now it looks like they've pretty

930
01:12:56.640 --> 01:13:01.319
well clinched that division. They're playoff
aspirations are not going to be based on

931
01:13:01.479 --> 01:13:06.359
Adrian Hoser. They're going to be
based on Burns, Parlta and wood Groff.

932
01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:11.960
Right, So, I think on
the last day of the season,

933
01:13:12.359 --> 01:13:17.239
I think they're gonna go all in
to try and do damage to the Cubs.

934
01:13:17.359 --> 01:13:20.479
You know, it's it's an injured
division game, but hey, if

935
01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:24.720
Milwaukee can beat the Cubs and knock
them out of the playoffs on that last

936
01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:27.279
Sunday of the season, I think
that gives them something to play for it,

937
01:13:27.359 --> 01:13:31.880
don't you or am I being too
traditional in my You're being too traditional?

938
01:13:32.840 --> 01:13:41.319
But I think the last day game
of the season, nobody's gonna really

939
01:13:41.399 --> 01:13:43.720
care. That would be my guests, but I don't. Let mean,

940
01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:48.319
who knows. Yeah, I would
definitely Adrian Houser. I would definitely be

941
01:13:48.439 --> 01:13:56.399
looking at him as a two start
pitcher. Tanner hewk home against State Rais

942
01:13:57.319 --> 01:14:02.720
okay, Jack Thompson at Adrian Hauser
and home against Hunter Green. No,

943
01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:06.279
Hunter Green, Yeah, there's there
could be. There could be a lot

944
01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:10.239
of straycoats in that game. Hunter
Green pitched at Jem the other day,

945
01:14:10.319 --> 01:14:15.239
didn't he and then and then and
then blew it up for him? Yeah,

946
01:14:15.319 --> 01:14:21.079
and I'm both on the same team. Man sucked. Yeah, But

947
01:14:21.640 --> 01:14:25.560
yeah, I mean, boy,
that if Hunter Green can start to do

948
01:14:25.680 --> 01:14:30.560
that more often, you've got something
Ryan Nelson at the White Sox and home

949
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:38.239
against Houston on Sunday. Ah,
I see Houston resting everybody on the Sunday

950
01:14:38.439 --> 01:14:43.119
unless unless there and again they could
be in tight. They could need that

951
01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:49.920
Sunday win to make the playoffs.
H I love the matchup against jose A

952
01:14:49.960 --> 01:14:57.720
Arena, but I game Joserena.
That was with the Marlins back in the

953
01:14:57.840 --> 01:15:00.720
day. I believe, so,
yes, I don't care. Yeah,

954
01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:08.119
uh Zach's right, Yeah, I
don't. I don't think he'll go to

955
01:15:08.199 --> 01:15:15.600
five innings. Yeah, Michael King, he's got yeah, Okay, that's

956
01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:23.640
the pass the past two Yeah.
Ryan Feltner, Uh yeah, that's a

957
01:15:23.680 --> 01:15:30.159
pass for me. Okay. So
really the two guys, Adrian Hawser and

958
01:15:30.239 --> 01:15:35.239
Tanner Hawk, those are the two
guys I'd be looking at. Yeah,

959
01:15:35.359 --> 01:15:41.680
with Ryan Ryan Nielsen probably being the
number three. Now again, if you

960
01:15:41.840 --> 01:15:46.960
go through your league and you'll find
players like uh Re Debtmer's is got Okland

961
01:15:47.000 --> 01:15:50.399
on the last day of the season. Oh here, here's here's a gem

962
01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:56.079
one that I like a lot is
and he's rosters. The tune of fifty

963
01:15:56.279 --> 01:16:03.920
seven says Michael King. He's got
ghost than Zach rank H. I like

964
01:16:04.159 --> 01:16:09.399
I like that. Yeah, yeah, kanis bitch is very very well and

965
01:16:09.640 --> 01:16:14.600
he's rosters Junior realized, Sy it's
less than sixty percent. Michael King could

966
01:16:14.640 --> 01:16:16.720
be out there and he could be
a difference maker, and he's throwing strikes.

967
01:16:17.119 --> 01:16:21.319
He's looking really really good right now. Indeed, indeed, Timmy,

968
01:16:21.399 --> 01:16:24.800
that is a rap, my friend. Lets take a final break, get

969
01:16:24.880 --> 01:16:29.079
back, let's wrap this puppy up
and talk about what we'll be doing this

970
01:16:29.239 --> 01:16:44.720
week. Good stuff, tim,
Yeah, we've had a lot of stuff.

971
01:16:44.760 --> 01:16:48.520
We've had a lot of stuff to
talk afternoon. Yeah. Yeah.

972
01:16:49.399 --> 01:16:53.800
You know what, even when the
notes are a little on the lean side,

973
01:16:53.960 --> 01:16:56.520
we always will always find an hour
and a half hour and a half

974
01:16:56.600 --> 01:16:59.800
to talk baseball and the notes are
on the lame side. Is that what

975
01:16:59.880 --> 01:17:02.600
you said? Well, I didn't
get my raise, so I feel like

976
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:08.479
freek that was hurtful. McCloud,
Come on, lame, use the word

977
01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:14.560
lame on. Rich Wilson notes,
there was only four questions and you know

978
01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:17.680
they were Yeah, but we expanded
upon him, and you know we turned

979
01:17:17.800 --> 01:17:26.880
a dandylion into a rose. Wow. Wow, jeez. So I'm sorry,

980
01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:30.720
Timmy, the gloss that cloves have
come off? Where was your waiver

981
01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:38.000
wire this week? It was not
existed, but I know it was not

982
01:17:38.159 --> 01:17:43.560
existing. I would have read more
questions. I was kind of say it

983
01:17:43.680 --> 01:17:49.520
was as lame it's you. It's
maybe even more lame, rightfully. So,

984
01:17:50.520 --> 01:17:54.840
uh so, Timmy, we've got
so just let him. I know,

985
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:58.920
I'm not on vacation, but I'm
traveling down to Wilmington. We're doing

986
01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:02.039
My wife's on a board and we
have to do a charity fundraiser on Friday

987
01:18:02.159 --> 01:18:08.600
night. It's called an oyster roast
and harvest toast him, so we'll be

988
01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:12.640
eating. We'll be eating oysters and
having a good time there. And I

989
01:18:12.720 --> 01:18:17.359
don't know, I'm I'm, I'm
I'm. It's instead of it was always

990
01:18:17.439 --> 01:18:21.880
me going to corporate events with it
was always I had to attend that Lorie

991
01:18:21.880 --> 01:18:26.159
would always join me. Now as
in my retirement, it's the other way

992
01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:30.119
around because Laurie's involved in a lot
of stuff. So I just go and

993
01:18:30.359 --> 01:18:32.560
I'm the I'm the guy tagging along. So I don't know, but I'll

994
01:18:32.560 --> 01:18:38.720
be down basically recording and writing and
things like that and rooting my teams onto

995
01:18:38.760 --> 01:18:42.560
the bitter end. We'll try to
do a podcast on Friday, everybody,

996
01:18:42.600 --> 01:18:46.159
they'll be our last Friday podcast.
Sunday will definitely be doing a podcast and

997
01:18:46.279 --> 01:18:49.920
probably talk more about the Arizona Fall
League as I'm going out, and then

998
01:18:50.079 --> 01:18:55.800
just wrapping up things, Tim and
starting to look towards next season. Yeah,

999
01:18:55.880 --> 01:18:59.520
you know, it might be interesting. Next Sunday is with all the

1000
01:18:59.560 --> 01:19:02.239
games, they're all starting early,
aren't they three o'clock? Let's when they

1001
01:19:02.319 --> 01:19:06.680
usually start? Okay, yeah,
they all started at the same time though,

1002
01:19:06.720 --> 01:19:11.079
I believe, don't they three o'clock? Tim? Yeah, if we

1003
01:19:11.239 --> 01:19:14.479
moved it back, say half an
hour on the podcast or an hour,

1004
01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:17.239
we could just do a live stream
on the last day and comment on all

1005
01:19:17.319 --> 01:19:20.760
the games as they're shaking down.
That might be fun. That's great,

1006
01:19:20.960 --> 01:19:25.840
as long as you don't make fun
of my lame notes, which I won't

1007
01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:28.680
have any notes for the life.
I'll come up with something because we're probably

1008
01:19:28.680 --> 01:19:30.920
going to talk a little bit about
next season and things like that, maybe

1009
01:19:30.920 --> 01:19:34.600
a little bit about the playoffs coming
up. So yeah, yeah, no,

1010
01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:40.279
I'll go easy on you for your
notes days and then the week after

1011
01:19:40.439 --> 01:19:46.199
that one whatever Friday is not Friday, not the six Timmy, that is

1012
01:19:46.279 --> 01:19:53.199
the first day that my Chicago Cubs
will drop. So it'll be twenty two

1013
01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:57.319
or three prospects for the Chicago Cubs. So I'm very excited about that.

1014
01:19:57.720 --> 01:20:01.000
It's all done. I'll loaded,
I'll go do yeah, Yeah, it's

1015
01:20:01.079 --> 01:20:06.279
cool. Yeah, and probably what
three two to three weeks after that,

1016
01:20:06.399 --> 01:20:11.920
we'll be discussing the NL Central,
right, So that'll be the sixth I

1017
01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:15.000
got one dropping, the sixth,
the tenth, the thirteenth, the seventeenth,

1018
01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:19.520
probably be the twentieth, ten of
October, which is one we'll do,

1019
01:20:19.760 --> 01:20:25.000
or that'll be a Friday or sometime
around there we'll do the NL Central.

1020
01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:30.960
Yeah, we'll be getting that one
knocked off before the World Series champion

1021
01:20:30.159 --> 01:20:33.680
has been determined. Cool. I
like it, very very exciting. So

1022
01:20:34.359 --> 01:20:40.039
offseason stuff starting ten. We never
rest here, Yeah, no, we

1023
01:20:40.199 --> 01:20:45.199
never do. I've you know,
finally started my rankings and asked me who

1024
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:50.000
I've got number one at Oatfield Rich
I'm going to say, uh, Colton

1025
01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:56.720
Cowser of the Baltimore Orioles. Uh
No, I'm gonna go with a Kunia.

1026
01:20:57.079 --> 01:21:00.000
Oh okay, I know it's it's
a mooring but what can I say?

1027
01:21:00.560 --> 01:21:06.119
The beggar question is who is number
three? Who is number three?

1028
01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:14.279
Uh, Fernando Tatiase, Junior Soto
one of those two? Okay, very

1029
01:21:14.399 --> 01:21:17.000
very good, very good. So
I think it's gonna be a fun week

1030
01:21:17.079 --> 01:21:21.720
for Tim and I next week because
in our DL five we are tied Tim,

1031
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:27.680
We're tied for third place. Tim's
got a better team than me.

1032
01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:31.199
He has played better, He and
his partner have played better than I have.

1033
01:21:31.800 --> 01:21:35.880
So I'm expecting Tim to win,
to beat me out. But who

1034
01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:42.439
knows Timmy, who knows? Well? You know what we've We've played the

1035
01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:48.720
we've played the odds right, and
we were close to catching up on saves,

1036
01:21:48.960 --> 01:21:55.880
okay, So all of our bullpen
guys sucked horribly okay, and we

1037
01:21:56.000 --> 01:22:00.319
got wins, which we really did
need. So basically we're going back and

1038
01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:04.079
forth making the right decision decisions and
having the wrong outcome. It's pretty hilarious.

1039
01:22:04.159 --> 01:22:08.520
Actually, Bob and I were laughing
about that, like, it doesn't

1040
01:22:08.520 --> 01:22:12.079
matter what we do right now,
it's turning up wrong. So I give

1041
01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:16.199
the edge to you because right now
we're just totally fumbling, and like I

1042
01:22:16.239 --> 01:22:20.640
said, we're making the right moves
but nothing's working out right. If that

1043
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:24.800
makes that, boy, I tell
you, it happens a lot. It's

1044
01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:30.479
gonna come down to probably who gets
more at bats and endings pitched out of

1045
01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:32.119
the two of us, and that's
you know, nothing you can do.

1046
01:22:32.640 --> 01:22:36.359
Unfortunately, I played Tanner Biby last
week when he was hurt because to me,

1047
01:22:36.439 --> 01:22:40.920
I was writing and not paying attention
to my teams, and that's that

1048
01:22:41.079 --> 01:22:45.079
was a bummer. So oh well, well we had Ryan Mountcastle going and

1049
01:22:45.119 --> 01:22:49.920
he really contributed a lot and we
just want you. Yeah, so that'll

1050
01:22:49.920 --> 01:22:56.720
be fine, and I've got another
another and DL six. I'm gonna say

1051
01:22:57.720 --> 01:23:01.680
two months ago I probably had eighty
points in that league, and I'm I

1052
01:23:01.840 --> 01:23:05.479
hit my high water mark I think
it was yesterday at one hundred and fifteen,

1053
01:23:06.039 --> 01:23:11.640
moved up in the second place.
So don't give up, everybody.

1054
01:23:12.199 --> 01:23:14.840
I thought the team was going to
be good to me, and they just

1055
01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:19.239
underperformed for the first four months of
the season and they finally caught fire and

1056
01:23:19.359 --> 01:23:23.159
I've got a chance to be in
the money, so I'll be rooting that

1057
01:23:23.319 --> 01:23:29.560
team one so yeah, so it's
I got two rooting interests coming into next

1058
01:23:29.640 --> 01:23:32.439
week. Yeah, I'm pretty much
the same. I've got two or three

1059
01:23:32.520 --> 01:23:36.439
with a rooting interest. But what
I'm finding this year with my teams is

1060
01:23:36.520 --> 01:23:41.039
I never had with any of them, I never had the big weeks.

1061
01:23:42.199 --> 01:23:45.479
Okay, I've got I'm going to
finish in the top four and I think

1062
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:50.960
four of my leagues, but even
the ones, I'm finishing very very strongly,

1063
01:23:51.239 --> 01:23:57.479
and it just seems like I haven't
had that that monster week and most

1064
01:23:57.560 --> 01:24:01.279
of my teams are sort of limping
down the home stretch. And what makes

1065
01:24:01.560 --> 01:24:05.000
a huge difference is, well,
you know, and I'm looking at it

1066
01:24:05.079 --> 01:24:09.039
in the one league I'm probably gonna
finish fourth, is you know, the

1067
01:24:09.119 --> 01:24:14.079
three guys ahead of me, their
teams are just churning out numbers like crazy,

1068
01:24:14.159 --> 01:24:16.560
and I'm just sort of, you
know, I'm mosey and right right

1069
01:24:16.640 --> 01:24:20.920
along. And again that's the that's
the element of luck in the game,

1070
01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:27.920
and you really do need some big
weeks in there. And if you don't

1071
01:24:28.000 --> 01:24:30.640
get them, yeah, you can
still have a fine year, but it's

1072
01:24:30.680 --> 01:24:35.039
hard to push yourself up over that
hump. Okay, if you don't have

1073
01:24:35.199 --> 01:24:39.880
the big weekend, Hey, it's
part of the game. It happens,

1074
01:24:40.079 --> 01:24:43.600
right, And uh, one of
my Dinny Sea leagues. I agree with

1075
01:24:43.680 --> 01:24:45.479
you, Timmy, one of my
Dinny Sea leagues. I just my pitching

1076
01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:53.239
staff. Everybody's having Tommy John surgery, and I just it's just sitting there.

1077
01:24:53.279 --> 01:24:55.600
I mean, this is nothing I
could do. And it's a really

1078
01:24:55.680 --> 01:25:00.560
good team. And I've been between
eighty five and ninety points and I finally

1079
01:25:00.600 --> 01:25:04.279
got some of the pictures back that
weren't having Tommy John surgery and they started

1080
01:25:04.399 --> 01:25:10.239
performing and I popped up to one
hundred and two points. And I'm maybe

1081
01:25:10.279 --> 01:25:13.680
two or three points behind the guy, and you know, for the last

1082
01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:15.680
spot in the money. But if
I had another two weeks, I could

1083
01:25:15.720 --> 01:25:19.680
probably catch them. I just don't
know. So it's just like, but

1084
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:24.520
I feel really good that, you
know that the finally, you know that

1085
01:25:24.880 --> 01:25:27.159
what I thought was going to be
a good team turned out to be a

1086
01:25:27.199 --> 01:25:30.880
good team. Just took too long
for the guys to recover from and there

1087
01:25:30.960 --> 01:25:35.680
was just not enough people. There
was just not enough people to enough time

1088
01:25:35.920 --> 01:25:40.079
and enough players. With all everybody
injured, I just couldn't make it through.

1089
01:25:40.199 --> 01:25:43.800
So well, yeah, I can
I can relate to that. I

1090
01:25:44.159 --> 01:25:46.359
you know, I've got one team
that you know, if we were playing

1091
01:25:46.520 --> 01:25:51.439
okay through to the middle of January, and there'd be hope exactly. That's

1092
01:25:51.479 --> 01:25:56.119
that your tat Wars are your labor
team. Yeah, yeah, middle of

1093
01:25:56.239 --> 01:26:00.399
January twenty twenty six. Maybe,
Yeah. Tell me what's what's for tonight?

1094
01:26:00.239 --> 01:26:04.760
What's for dinner tonight? I had
some past the last night, and

1095
01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:09.439
as there is a practice, when
Tim has passed on one day, he

1096
01:26:09.560 --> 01:26:15.000
has passed the leftovers on the next
day. So I've got I got some

1097
01:26:15.560 --> 01:26:18.760
some shells and spaghetti sauce, a
couple of dinner rolls, and we're gonna

1098
01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:21.439
eat. We're gonna chew through the
leftovers. What about you, rich when

1099
01:26:21.479 --> 01:26:26.199
you look at Tim, for the
last five nights in a row, we

1100
01:26:26.399 --> 01:26:31.079
have either been to a charity event
or out with friends, or we've eaten

1101
01:26:31.119 --> 01:26:36.399
out for five straight nights. So
we're done. So I don't know what

1102
01:26:36.520 --> 01:26:41.079
we're eating. It could be a
tomato sandwich. I mean, we're we're

1103
01:26:41.159 --> 01:26:43.800
I mean, I just feel like
we've put on ten pounds. It's just

1104
01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:47.880
been it's been tough. So so
we're we're letting our stomachs take a rest

1105
01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:51.840
and probably gonna eat something very very
late. I think there's a salad in

1106
01:26:51.920 --> 01:26:55.840
the refrigerator that's been sitting there for
a couple of days, and maybe we'll

1107
01:26:55.880 --> 01:27:00.239
split that. We do love the
tomato sandwich. It gets some whole whole

1108
01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:04.560
grain seven grain bread and a little
bit of cream, cheese and tomato slices

1109
01:27:04.640 --> 01:27:09.039
on there. So we might do
that, but nothing big tim Last night

1110
01:27:09.079 --> 01:27:15.279
we had we had pizza out of
a famous pizza joint and it's in the

1111
01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:18.119
kids live in Jersey City. There's
a place called Raza are A z z

1112
01:27:18.359 --> 01:27:24.600
A. They have Neapolitan. Those
are the smaller pizzas to me that are

1113
01:27:24.600 --> 01:27:28.680
a little bit fancy. Okay,
it was fantastic. It was great.

1114
01:27:29.640 --> 01:27:32.359
All of everybody made it and you
know, the grand baby was there,

1115
01:27:32.439 --> 01:27:36.000
so we had a blast. So
that was our five five nights in a

1116
01:27:36.119 --> 01:27:39.680
row and that's how we ended it
up. And like we're driving home,

1117
01:27:39.760 --> 01:27:43.640
gone, finally let's let's take a
break from eating for a few days,

1118
01:27:44.319 --> 01:27:46.279
said, we're doing that. Yeah, no, I totally get it.

1119
01:27:46.399 --> 01:27:48.479
Years ago, when I was working
on the road, you know, I

1120
01:27:48.640 --> 01:27:53.039
used to say, you know,
yeah, I'm on the road, so

1121
01:27:53.319 --> 01:27:55.960
I'm I'm eating oat all the time. And people would say to me,

1122
01:27:56.000 --> 01:27:58.880
oh, you're so lucky you're you're
eating on the road whatever. You know,

1123
01:27:58.960 --> 01:28:02.159
after about two weeks or it totally
sucks, it really does. You

1124
01:28:02.279 --> 01:28:05.840
get home and what's the first thing? The first thing here? Hey can

1125
01:28:05.880 --> 01:28:09.000
we go over for supper? I
don't want to go over for supper.

1126
01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:13.920
You know. It's it's vastly overrated. It's it's it's nice to think about

1127
01:28:14.039 --> 01:28:16.279
not having to cook, but when
you're eating out of restaurants all the time,

1128
01:28:17.119 --> 01:28:20.960
it highly I spent my career doing
that. That's what I did every

1129
01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:25.560
I mean I would go to dinner
meetings and or or you know, just

1130
01:28:25.680 --> 01:28:28.680
sitting on an airplane eating. And
yeah, I totally agree with you.

1131
01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:32.119
But our our eating out was fun
because we went mostly out with people,

1132
01:28:32.560 --> 01:28:35.560
so it's more of a social type
of thing. But you know, you're

1133
01:28:35.600 --> 01:28:39.600
trying to watch what you eat.
You know, you're think of your cardiologists,

1134
01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:42.319
watch your salt and take, don't
eat too much cholesterol. You know.

1135
01:28:42.479 --> 01:28:45.199
So you're you're thinking through all this, and it's just like at some

1136
01:28:45.359 --> 01:28:47.039
point to just kind of give up
and go, well, I'll get to

1137
01:28:47.159 --> 01:28:55.159
all that later. So later has
arrived, So later is now Later is

1138
01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:58.000
now to me? It is a
wrap. Well, have a have a

1139
01:28:58.079 --> 01:29:00.399
good week, and we'll talk to
you on Friday. My friend here,

1140
