<v Speaker 1>Greene's incitations. Everyone at Church Wilson Walk in the Fantasy

2
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Baseball Live. Today is the twenty eighth of June, about

3
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 1>three o'clock in the afternoon, and it is summertime here

4
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 1>in beautiful New Jersey. Tim, it's going to get to

5
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 1>be one hundred and five on Thursday. Yikes.

6
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations, good for you. You can keep that.

7
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I've got high school tournaments ago to this week. I'm

8
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 1>doing a run a minor league stadiums on Tuesday and

9
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday in Maryland. And then it's been really nice the

10
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>last few weeks and then all of a sudden, I've

11
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>got all these trips planned and it's like, oh my gosh,

12
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be melting out there.

13
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're looking at We're looking at mid eighties here,

14
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 2>which is pretty darn hot by our standards. So yeah,

15
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 2>we got a nice week of warm weather coming up.

16
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 2>And you know what, it is, June twenty eighth, meaning

17
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>the next time we get together, we're gonna be on

18
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 2>the other side of the halfway mark of the season.

19
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's pretty much right out the halfway mark. I know.

20
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>It's this season is flying really, Yes, how's the season

21
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>been for you?

22
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>How has it been for me? Well, in two leagues,

23
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 2>i lost Ponts, Parton and Brown before the season even

24
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>got started. Okay, so it's I've got some teams that

25
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>are absolutely dreadful, and I've got some teams I'm sitting

26
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 2>near the top or at the top of the leaderboard.

27
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>So it's sort of up, down, and all over the place.

28
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>But because I invested heavily in several pictures and he

29
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>seemed like a good plan at the time, I'm languishing

30
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 2>in something and there's nothing I can do about it.

31
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, in one league, I think I've got like

32
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 2>double digits on the IL. I've also got Langford, I

33
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 2>lost Elie de la Cruz, you name it. I've basically

34
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>lost it. And it's tough. Yeah, you do the best

35
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>you can to try and find replacements. But hey, when

36
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 2>you lose a third of your pitching staff, you know,

37
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 2>in the first week of the season, basically, yeah, your toast,

38
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 2>that's all, is it.

39
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's tough to recover from.

40
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, almost impossible.

41
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>So well, I've been totally distracted this season. So we

42
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>had we had two real estate major real estate transactions,

43
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>personal stuff and busy, and then I've done more scouting

44
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 1>this season than I have. It feels like that I

45
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 1>have in prior seasons, and I've.

46
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 2>Just I.

47
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Have.

48
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been distracted, I don't have to tell you. And

49
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 1>I haven't had a chance to really work the waiver wires.

50
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>I've been working the waiver wires for my dynasty leagues,

51
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 1>for Dynasty league players, for minor leaguers, but I just

52
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't kept up with closer switches. And you give us

53
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.199
<v Speaker 1>so many options, I can't even figure out which are

54
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 1>the right ones for me. It's it's been tough.

55
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, it's a hard enough game to play when

56
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 2>you've got the time to play it. When you don't

57
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>have the time to play it, yeah, it gets to

58
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit more of a challenge. So yeah, yeah,

59
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I know it's it's tough. That's why i've often, you know,

60
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.280
<v Speaker 2>thought back to twenty some odd years ago. I was

61
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 2>playing a lot of redraft leagues. At that point in time,

62
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 2>dynasty leagues were you know, there were some keeper leagues,

63
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 2>but dynasty leagues weren't really a thing, you know, flourishing.

64
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 2>It really wasn't happening. And you know, when you're looking,

65
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I would have had the time to

66
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>play them. You know, I'm down now to basically one

67
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>dynasty and one fifteen team keeper league, and I don't

68
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>know how you do it. I'm playing that number of

69
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>dynasty leagues. Man, it's a lot of work. It's a

70
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>crazy amount of work, it really is.

71
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>This was the first week that I didn't have So

72
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 1>we've sold the house and we bought the house. I

73
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>saw that's done, and I feel like a whole time

74
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 1>frame has been lifted. So I actually had a chance

75
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 1>to spend time with my leagues. I'm going, oh, I

76
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>got Cooper Pratt in the league. I'm very excited. So

77
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, it's all excited. I got up into

78
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 1>my how to get in my lineup? So yeah, little things,

79
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>little things here.

80
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Well you you don't have time for the little things? Yeah, yeah,

81
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's what makes it tough. And in dynasty leagues,

82
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 2>it's all about a lot of those little things, you know,

83
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 2>the guys that you stashed away, okay on in the

84
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 2>hopes at some point in time, like Cooper Pratt might

85
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.959
<v Speaker 2>get a call up, right, and players that have grown

86
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>this year and increase their value of Hey, when you've

87
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 2>got the number of dynasty leagues you have, you're going

88
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>to find surprises until you get into it on a

89
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>like a full time, full time basis, and that could

90
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 2>be good and bad.

91
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, it is what it is. It's the professional

92
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 1>I have chosen. I'm not complaining. I get paid to

93
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>watch baseball games, so yeah, I'm pretty happy about that.

94
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I get I get paid to

95
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.199
<v Speaker 2>torment you by picking closers you've never heard of.

96
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Right, So that's true, that's true. Thank you very much.

97
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.360
<v Speaker 2>You're welcome. I cut you some slack this week because

98
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 2>there were there's there's a couple of opportunities out there.

99
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 2>But I looked at the teams, I looked at the players.

100
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I said, no, no, I'm not mentioning these guys. Okay,

101
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe verbally we can go through it, we get to.

102
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>But I listed one name in the closer report and

103
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 2>all the rest of them, I just said, no, if

104
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Rich doesn't want these guys, said, that's good enough for me.

105
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 2>This week on the fringe dart tossing, can we So next.

106
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Week I think that'll be the fifth, Right, So it's

107
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, Right, So on the fifth, maybe your closer

108
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>report either that week or the following week, you can

109
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>start to give some thought to if a role as

110
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Chapman leaves and look at the Boston Red Sox, like, like,

111
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>who's going to be left? Because they might trade the

112
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>setup guy too.

113
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't even like Wedlock. Yeah, he's the guy that

114
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling people to buy right now is Wedlock? But

115
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 2>you're right, Yeah, and the Mets could trade Williams and

116
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Luke Weaver. H you know what I mean? That's yeah,

117
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:08.199
<v Speaker 2>I would like.

118
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 1>I would like some discussion about that, taking a look

119
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>at the obvious guys Devin Williams enrolled as Chapman, and

120
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.199
<v Speaker 1>then like, who would you be buying now?

121
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? No, that sounds like a good fun exercise because,

122
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 2>let's face it, if you can sneak in on some

123
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.079
<v Speaker 2>of those relief pitchers, yeah, you're you're still looking at

124
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 2>two months of the season. You could be looking at,

125
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, four or five saves a month, eight to

126
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>ten saves. If you can multiply that by one or

127
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 2>two guys, your three points in saves could grow into

128
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:47.279
<v Speaker 2>six to eight and be of value once we get

129
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to the last week of the season.

130
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, let's look at these games. I'm gonna

131
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>they go to the Texas Rangers versus the Toronto Blue Jays,

132
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 1>and just if we can just bemoan the fact that

133
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>at Langford has it the iel again. Just he looked

134
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>like exactly what we thought he was going to be

135
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the See he has been fire

136
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the last two or three weeks and then it's just

137
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 1>hamstring pull and out through the All Star break.

138
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It was one of those where if I drank,

139
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 2>I'd probably be doing this blowing a two point two

140
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 2>on the breathalyzer. Rich. It was just like, come on,

141
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 2>give the old guy a break. Okay, Uh yeah that

142
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:37.399
<v Speaker 2>that that one hurts you. The only good thing is

143
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 2>the timing and that you will be old. There's there's

144
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.840
<v Speaker 2>three games that you won't have to worry about over

145
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:43.799
<v Speaker 2>the All Star break.

146
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

147
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the only that's the only good news about

148
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.679
<v Speaker 2>that one. And yeah, I scrambled and tossed Evin Carter

149
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.559
<v Speaker 2>into the mix for the waiver wire because that's the

150
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>right guy. Yeah, but can we.

151
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>All admit that you were right on Evan Carter. He

152
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 1>couldn't lefties in the minor leagues. He brought that up

153
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to everybody's attention. I'm not sure he can hit, right,

154
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:14.039
<v Speaker 1>he's very well. I mean, he's just turn he's just

155
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 1>turned out to be not that good.

156
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:22.759
<v Speaker 2>No, it's hey, there's limitations. And he's in a position

157
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>where he's a fourth oatfielder, reserve type oatfielder who will

158
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 2>at best platoon and at worst to get two hundred

159
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 2>and two hundred and fifty eight bats a year. And

160
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 2>I think that's who the player is. Rich.

161
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 1>You don't think he'll get more than two hundred and

162
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>fifty at bats up because he is a strong side platoon, right,

163
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 1>So he.

164
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Had three hundred and three. He's not gonna play full time.

165
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's it's yeah, we just I I missed on him,

166
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.720
<v Speaker 1>and early in his career. I figured it out once

167
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>he got into Triple A that there was a big problem.

168
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, sometimes you don't see the splits until

169
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the player gets into with better pitching because everything looks

170
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 1>like a fastball in the lower levels of the minor

171
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>leagues and the US to get guys that can actually

172
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 1>spend the ball. And also that's when the splits really

173
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 1>start to come out. And he's just never been able

174
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to solve it.

175
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm looking at the Jay's game here. And Bieber's

176
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>up to ninety one pitchers pitches and they still have

177
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.559
<v Speaker 2>them in there in the in the sixth inning. I

178
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 2>think they're treading dangerously on on that situation that one

179
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.600
<v Speaker 2>nothing game could could change fairly quickly.

180
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Four walks. That's a little disappointed. But obviously pitch better

181
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>than he did the first game.

182
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he definitely did. He just allowed another hit, so

183
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 2>they got two on yeah, one out. Yeah, I'm a

184
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 2>little ticked.

185
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>I didn't start Komba Rocker at all. I didn't start

186
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Bieber purposely didn't start bb I was a little do

187
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 1>I start Koomber Rocker? He had a rough last outing

188
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.679
<v Speaker 1>and I decided not to, And he's just shoving it

189
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 1>against the Blue Jays.

190
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, and let's let's face it, the Jays right now

191
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 2>their offense basically is being carried by O Komoto with

192
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 2>his two forty batting average. Laddie is down I believe,

193
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>under eight hundred in the ops.

194
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.879
<v Speaker 1>He's almost under seven hundred. My friend, yes, seven two.

195
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have got a grand total of well, lad

196
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.320
<v Speaker 2>he's at two seventy. Nathan Lukes, who us at three

197
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 2>oh five, or any clements having a fine season at

198
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.840
<v Speaker 2>three oh one. But I mean there's a lot of

199
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>two under batting averages in there and no power.

200
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

201
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.919
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and you know, if they brought up Keys,

202
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.759
<v Speaker 2>he played yesterday and that's why. But the problem with

203
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 2>Keys is to make it work, they have to either

204
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.679
<v Speaker 2>take George Springer or Glad Junior out of the lineup

205
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 2>to get him in there.

206
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Yep, you know that's yeah, And you're not going to

207
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 1>take your five hundred million dollar man out. And George

208
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Springer is a bit in the heart and soul of

209
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>that team. So I don't know. That's what makes Keys

210
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>a tough ad.

211
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very much. So. I wasn't sure how they were

212
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>going to do it, even though I got lucky and

213
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:34.240
<v Speaker 2>they did make the move, But it's a move with limitations,

214
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>serious limitations. What happens if Keys go out? It goes

215
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>out in his next game and hits two home runs? Well,

216
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Springer or Vladie's not in the lineup? Is Springer or

217
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Vlady not in the lineup two days in a row?

218
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Now that becomes a problem, doesn't it.

219
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can't. I can't imagine that. One of our

220
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Patreon members. Again, I encourage you, but to become a

221
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Patreon member. It's a it's a cult, Tommy right, it's

222
00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 1>it's not a not a club, it's a cult.

223
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 2>We're okay with Yeah, Yeah, I'm perfectly fine. We had

224
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.440
<v Speaker 2>a fun discussion today. Actually, one of the guys made

225
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 2>a trade with you, okay, and they were talking, you know,

226
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:12.600
<v Speaker 2>he was talking about you going to get.

227
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Trash for the trade.

228
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 2>Probably did no, Actually no, they wanted me to make

229
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:23.279
<v Speaker 2>the trade on air with you. Okay, okay, negotiat negotiated trade.

230
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I made a trade. I have a sea that's

231
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 1>just going nowhere.

232
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

233
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 1>And it's a shame because I've got Paul Skins on

234
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.399
<v Speaker 1>that team. It's just going nowhere, and I'm stuck in

235
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:38.720
<v Speaker 1>like ninth place. And uh, i have Ranger Suarez, which

236
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I have Rangel swarz about every team and saves a

237
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 1>kick on him in a bunch of leagues. He woned

238
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>both of those players. I'm assuming he's competing. And it

239
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 1>gave me Max Clark and yep, somebody else. Oh, oh,

240
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Grant Taylor. Grant Taylor and a third round pick for

241
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 1>he first had Indie Rodriguez included in that he was

242
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>on my team. I thought that was too much so

243
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:06.879
<v Speaker 1>I took Andy Rodriguez out and I was just, uh, yeah,

244
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Grant Taylor, Max Clark, and Max Clark has not been

245
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>very good after the first few weeks of the season.

246
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 1>I still believe. So I'm a bit of a soccer

247
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>for Max Clark, but I mean, I'm not playing for

248
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:23.159
<v Speaker 1>this season and Ranger swars and then say, Azuke, you

249
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:24.840
<v Speaker 1>can be good for the next couple of years, but

250
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping Max Clark makes up for that and Grant

251
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Taylor really becomes a closer or a big starter or so.

252
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:33.879
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was a fair trade all around. So

253
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:34.720
<v Speaker 1>that's why I did it.

254
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, it had definitely definitely a good trade. And yeah,

255
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.120
<v Speaker 2>my comments you know, when they asked you we should

256
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.159
<v Speaker 2>do it on ere, I said, well, does he had

257
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>do you need any former MVV guys And they said, well, no,

258
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Rich won't have any of those. I said, how about

259
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 2>I could negotiate for closers and Rich ain't gonna have

260
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.240
<v Speaker 2>any of them. So we had, we had, We had,

261
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.679
<v Speaker 2>we had fun with it. We really did good for you. Yeah.

262
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So I got the reason I brought it up.

263
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.879
<v Speaker 1>I got a note from somebody that says, you know,

264
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>with these worm burners, I e. Vlad Junior and Tatis

265
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Junior hitting the ball on the ground. How hard is

266
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>it to change the swing and hit the ball in

267
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the air. And my response was, well, it's hard. And

268
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>when you're an established star, in Vlad Junior's case, you're

269
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.919
<v Speaker 1>making five hundred million dollars and what is it Tatis

270
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>is two fifty three, And it's a tough motivation to

271
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>go to these guys and go, we really need you

272
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 1>to lift the ball more to hit more home runs.

273
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.679
<v Speaker 1>And so are they going to do it? I don't know.

274
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.399
<v Speaker 1>If you're in the minor leagues and you're twenty one

275
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>years old and thea A coach comes over to and says, look,

276
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.759
<v Speaker 1>you're not going anywhere unless you change your angles on

277
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>your swing. You're going to change your angles on your swing.

278
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.399
<v Speaker 1>That's just the way it is.

279
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:58.039
<v Speaker 2>The player is saying, yeah, okay, how do we get started?

280
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.039
<v Speaker 1>That's right? Yeah? And how how can I get better?

281
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>And so for and maybe Vlad Junior is going to

282
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.919
<v Speaker 1>have to buy into Okay, maybe I need to start

283
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>get the ball in the air a little bit more,

284
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.759
<v Speaker 1>and maybe he'll he'll buy into that. Maybe in an

285
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.720
<v Speaker 1>off season discussion. Maybe he'll do that. I mean, we'll see,

286
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think. I think Lad Juniors has gotten

287
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.639
<v Speaker 1>into some bad habits here and the results are starting

288
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.639
<v Speaker 1>to starting to really speak for themselves. Maybe he's worn

289
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:28.919
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit after the long season last year

290
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.519
<v Speaker 1>and never got a chance to take time off in

291
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 1>the off season. Maybe the conditioning is becoming part of

292
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:35.759
<v Speaker 1>the problem. I don't know.

293
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, definitely, that's what the young side rich. It's

294
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>all about bad habits.

295
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, it's it's and I just I think

296
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>it's really important because it's funny because I've been doing

297
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot of work with agents and I get stories

298
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.799
<v Speaker 1>from these guys. I've actually heard conversations with these kids.

299
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're kids on the phone, and it's like, hey, man,

300
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.440
<v Speaker 1>they want me to do this. I'm not doing this.

301
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.200
<v Speaker 1>They paid me a million dollars in a signing bonus.

302
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't they know who I am?

303
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Basically, Oh, yeah, you're a minor leaguer. Yeah they got

304
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.319
<v Speaker 2>they got next to nothing invested in, right, and yeah.

305
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Like the agent's trying to tell them, you know, trying

306
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to make them feel good, like, yeah, you're the man,

307
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 1>and you're going to figure all this out, but also

308
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to convey that, you know, the fill in the

309
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>blank team is a good organization. You need to listen

310
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to them. I know, personally, this guy, I mean, they

311
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 1>have your best interest at heart, and they're trying to

312
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.319
<v Speaker 1>sell them on this kind I mean, these players have

313
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>been doing it this this certain way for years and

314
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them just don't want to change, and

315
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>then others want to change right off the bat. I

316
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.200
<v Speaker 1>mean they're highly motivated, they get they get it all.

317
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:50.359
<v Speaker 1>It's just different players, different personalities out there.

318
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, and you know what ultimately kicking off the

319
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 2>organization that happens to be paying the freight and looking

320
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:05.519
<v Speaker 2>at you as a long term and it's not a

321
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:09.039
<v Speaker 2>good way to start a relationship. It really isn't. And

322
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:15.039
<v Speaker 2>you will lose eventually if things don't, if they don't change,

323
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.559
<v Speaker 2>if you're not who they Hey, there's a mess of

324
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:20.160
<v Speaker 2>players that are twenty seven to thirty five years old

325
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:23.160
<v Speaker 2>playing in the minor leagues or in Korea or in Japan,

326
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.319
<v Speaker 2>or are the baseball Okay, at some point in time,

327
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.960
<v Speaker 2>if they say jump from you, you should be looking

328
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.319
<v Speaker 2>at putting your ego aside and saying how high if

329
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.559
<v Speaker 2>you want a good career, a good and long career

330
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 2>in the majors.

331
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. People talk about makeup, and a lot of people

332
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:44.079
<v Speaker 1>misconstrue makeup as the guy's a bad person or a

333
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.759
<v Speaker 1>good person. That's not it. It's are you willing to

334
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.319
<v Speaker 1>be coached? Are you willing to listen? Are you willing

335
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 1>to try different things? That's what good makeup. That's when

336
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.559
<v Speaker 1>organizations talk about. That's what they're talking about good makeup.

337
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:02.839
<v Speaker 1>Not that the guy versus like a sailor or you know,

338
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.559
<v Speaker 1>maybe drinks too much or something like that. I mean,

339
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.759
<v Speaker 1>those are more other issues. But makeup is you know,

340
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.720
<v Speaker 1>are you willing to put in the time in the

341
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:12.079
<v Speaker 1>effort to make stuff happen?

342
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:17.279
<v Speaker 2>And well yeah, and if you're not, eventually decisions will

343
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>be made and the team's gonna win. Yeah. Yeah, the

344
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:25.519
<v Speaker 2>employer always does right.

345
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Most of the time. They're gonna win. Blad Junior, Lad

346
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Junior is gonna win every time because he's the face

347
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 1>of the franchise. So they're gonna have to negotiate with

348
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:35.559
<v Speaker 1>Lad Junior if they want him to change his swing

349
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:39.720
<v Speaker 1>to add more loft to hit more home runs. That's

350
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna have that's gonna be a dicey conversation.

351
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, and again, it'll give us a good indication who

352
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.200
<v Speaker 2>it is because he wants to be the face of

353
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>the franchise. He wants to be the team cheerleader, the

354
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.200
<v Speaker 2>go to guy, all that stuff, and he's projected that

355
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 2>very very well over his career thus far. So a challenge.

356
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 2>It'll be interesting to see the tone set. How does

357
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 2>that sound?

358
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think when you get the Vlad

359
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Junior's level, when you're considered one of the best players

360
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 1>in the league, it's it's a tough conversation because it's like, look,

361
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.119
<v Speaker 1>this has always worked for me. The power is gonna come.

362
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm strong, and you got to sit there and go, yeah,

363
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:24.599
<v Speaker 1>you're getting older too, you know. So those are hard conversations.

364
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.680
<v Speaker 1>So you and I, well, yeah, they are older conversations.

365
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, and it's one with a veteran who's tied into

366
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:34.559
<v Speaker 2>a contract with a lot of zero is one that

367
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:40.480
<v Speaker 2>has to be done respectfully. Yeah, okay, then yeah, yeah, yeah.

368
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:43.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, I was just looking at the standings in

369
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.440
<v Speaker 2>the Ale. Do you realize as of today there are

370
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:50.799
<v Speaker 2>only four teams in the al over five hundred Okay,

371
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:54.880
<v Speaker 2>and the third best record in the AL is currently

372
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 2>being held White so by the White Sox.

373
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's funny. I that's it was five when we

374
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:05.400
<v Speaker 1>did the review, what two or three weeks ago, and

375
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.759
<v Speaker 1>that's down to four. Look at that. Yeah, I'm looking

376
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.039
<v Speaker 1>at another rais the Yankees, the White Sox and the Mayor.

377
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:16.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh and the Braves at six five at five hundred.

378
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:18.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, at five hundred, the Braves.

379
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:20.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, the Braves are in. I got the wrong.

380
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:22.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was just gonna say, yeah, yeah.

381
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.839
<v Speaker 1>So there's only four and there's and one of the

382
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Mariners have a five hundred record. Wow, that's unbelievable.

383
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're the only four teams right now over five

384
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.359
<v Speaker 2>hundred and Neale or you know Tampa, the Yankees, the

385
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker 2>White Socks, and the Guardians at forty three and forty.

386
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Everybody else is five hundred or worse.

387
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:46.400
<v Speaker 1>And you gotta believe Tim with the with the construction

388
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Guardians team without Jose Ramirez in two weeks,

389
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 1>are they going to be in a week are they

390
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:52.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be.

391
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Over five hundred last ten games or four and six?

392
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So that's trending in the wrong direction.

393
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Yes, most definitely did you catch the the White Sox

394
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:09.039
<v Speaker 2>game where they got the safety near the end, made

395
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:10.720
<v Speaker 2>up for the lost extra point and got up to

396
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:11.599
<v Speaker 2>twenty two runs.

397
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I saw that. I looked at my guys that I

398
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 1>had from the White Sox. They didn't do so well,

399
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:23.160
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, but that was that was an impressive performance.

400
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, it was impressive about that. And very

401
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:31.160
<v Speaker 2>very unusual is the Royals put in they utilize the

402
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:36.880
<v Speaker 2>regular bullpen being down like fifteen runs. Yeah, Ersig was

403
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 2>in there, laying was in there like.

404
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 1>A positional player. I thought he was a positional player

405
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:44.480
<v Speaker 1>like that.

406
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, pictures like, yeah, but they used a regular bullpen

407
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.240
<v Speaker 2>in a blowout like That's something you don't see very often,

408
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:53.599
<v Speaker 2>is it.

409
00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 1>No, And it's pretty shocking. And I just assume that

410
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:00.720
<v Speaker 1>it was positional guys coming. That's that's really bad one.

411
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:02.440
<v Speaker 1>It's the regular bullpen.

412
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I think Lango torched for five or five

413
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and runs or something like that. But yeah, you don't

414
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 2>you don't see that. And Vargus had a huge day

415
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and he's got another home run is nineteenth today. Uh,

416
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Vargas is turning into quite the quite the player this year,

417
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:20.759
<v Speaker 2>isn't he?

418
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:24.920
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing. Yeah, and uh they're just holding They're doing

419
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 1>better than holding court into uh until the big slugger

420
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:32.799
<v Speaker 1>comes back. So it's yeah, Murakamie, I mean, it's it's impressive.

421
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Other games, Tampa Bay is up five to nothing on

422
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.039
<v Speaker 1>the Diamondbacks. Simonbacks is forty one and forty one. Our

423
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:44.839
<v Speaker 1>buddy Cedric Mullins had a home run. Not having a

424
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.720
<v Speaker 1>great season, but he's a second half guy, so hopefully

425
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>he'll start to win up a little bit.

426
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:53.279
<v Speaker 2>You know what really surprised me when when I look

427
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 2>at the Rays, is their their their lead off that okay,

428
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Yandy Diaz, he's up to fifty three RBIs Yeah, yeah,

429
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.680
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about Yeah, we were talking about Junior

430
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Cameranaro off to a rough start. Yeah, he's hit about

431
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:12.680
<v Speaker 2>ten home runs in the past week. He's up to

432
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:14.839
<v Speaker 2>twenty two now. Monster.

433
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's a monster.

434
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. We talked him up on the discord page, and

435
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:23.119
<v Speaker 2>as soon as we talked him up about about him

436
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:25.359
<v Speaker 2>not hitting many home runs in June, he went on

437
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:27.559
<v Speaker 2>a terror and hit one. He's I think he's hit

438
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:29.799
<v Speaker 2>one every day for the past week, week and a half.

439
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's a forty home run guy. He's going

440
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to compete for home run titles. That's that's a big,

441
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 1>strong DUDEO Yandy diaz is. I mean, if he had

442
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 1>more power, looks like with his arms, he would hit

443
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>nine hundred home runs a year. But he's more a

444
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.720
<v Speaker 1>double cetter. But that's a good player. I mean it's

445
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a good baseball player. Not a great fantasy player, but

446
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:53.480
<v Speaker 1>a really good baseball player.

447
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, he's hitting three thirty six this year. Yeah,

448
00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:02.160
<v Speaker 2>to go along with fifty three RB and Mullen with

449
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:06.240
<v Speaker 2>the Cavin Arrow hitting behind him, hitting home runs on

450
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.559
<v Speaker 2>a regular basis, his run scored, I've got to be

451
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:12.200
<v Speaker 2>off the charts good, I would think. So.

452
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I watch a lot of Orioles games because a big

453
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Oriole fan. I've never watched Pete Alonso play many games.

454
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 1>I know he played for the Mets, but I never

455
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:25.279
<v Speaker 1>really watched Mets games. Who the hell watch Mets games?

456
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:29.559
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's a Mets fan. He's a he's a

457
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 1>fun player, he's very enthusiastic. He's he seems like a

458
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:36.880
<v Speaker 1>guy that he's a guy that you want to root for.

459
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And I'm looking at him and going I wonder if

460
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:42.880
<v Speaker 1>that's a big problem with the Mets, and obviously they

461
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:46.920
<v Speaker 1>fired their manager. They just don't have like a Pete

462
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:50.359
<v Speaker 1>a Lonzo, very good player, but a guy who looks

463
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:54.720
<v Speaker 1>like a natural team leader to me, Yeah.

464
00:25:54.759 --> 00:26:00.240
<v Speaker 2>That could be here. It's just underachieving into me any

465
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:07.839
<v Speaker 2>different areas combined with injuries. Yeah, it's Freddy Perrault has

466
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.359
<v Speaker 2>been a huge disappointment that did not work out. Yeah.

467
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 2>They they bet on Bova shit, and I don't know

468
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:19.400
<v Speaker 2>if they consider that working out. You know, Biento's didn't develop.

469
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 2>Beattie is batting two eleven, So what the potential we

470
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.920
<v Speaker 2>saw last year seems to have disappeared. Yeah, Carson Benge

471
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and the other kid, yeah ewing, Yeah, there's this potential there,

472
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know it's I've heard it's a lot

473
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.640
<v Speaker 2>of personality clashes could be abundant.

474
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.400
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so my understanding, and a huge Mets fan

475
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:50.519
<v Speaker 1>told me this buddy of mine. He said, look, man,

476
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 1>you should dig into lend Door versus Sosa. Apparently their

477
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:01.799
<v Speaker 1>their lockers are at the opposite ends of the of

478
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the clubhouse. Apparently they don't like each other and it's

479
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:09.480
<v Speaker 1>a huge rift and nobody everybody dances around it in

480
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the clubhouse, and that was big reason that the manager

481
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:14.880
<v Speaker 1>got let go, because he wasn't able to solve that.

482
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.039
<v Speaker 1>I've heard rumors that pool Holes is interested.

483
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:18.079
<v Speaker 2>In the job.

484
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:20.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why he would be. Maybe he can

485
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.599
<v Speaker 1>mend defenses, or maybe one of them's got to go

486
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to him.

487
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, pool Holes is big enough, he can at least

488
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 2>defend himself well in a scrap. Yeah, but no, Hey,

489
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.759
<v Speaker 2>when you've got three quarters of a billion dollars not

490
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:44.319
<v Speaker 2>getting along, If that is the case, that's problematic, isn't it. Yes, Yes,

491
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:46.759
<v Speaker 2>very much so. And hey, you know a manager is

492
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:47.880
<v Speaker 2>never going to win that one.

493
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.359
<v Speaker 1>No. I mean it's tough, but I mean that's quite frankly. Look,

494
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.279
<v Speaker 1>analytics are making all the baseball decisions these days. That

495
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the job of the manager is to get the players

496
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:03.039
<v Speaker 1>to get along. That's his job, and if, for whatever

497
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:04.960
<v Speaker 1>you can't get it done, you gotta try somebody else.

498
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and the bottom line is you when you've

499
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 2>got that type of money involved, maybe just maybe they

500
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:16.519
<v Speaker 2>should have talked to somebody who might know a little

501
00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.039
<v Speaker 2>bit of history before you signed two guys if in

502
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:21.559
<v Speaker 2>fact they do hate each other, right, I don't know that.

503
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:24.839
<v Speaker 1>That was before, before the factor after. I don't know

504
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.799
<v Speaker 1>what happened. My buddy didn't know that, but he was

505
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:30.519
<v Speaker 1>absolutely convinced. I did look around, and yes, there appears

506
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.279
<v Speaker 1>to be an issue with the two players.

507
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's and again you know, oh, speaking of you

508
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:43.680
<v Speaker 2>ing they he just pinch hit for Taylor and smoked

509
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:48.640
<v Speaker 2>the tour and Homer. Yeah, my light.

510
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought I had him in all ten of my

511
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Dinasty leagues haven't been nine. I traded him Christian Campbell

512
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:58.799
<v Speaker 1>or something something like that because.

513
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:05.359
<v Speaker 2>I do goals. Uh, funny, I have just stopped.

514
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Using my bait, my fantasy baseball leagues as science experiments.

515
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>That starting to.

516
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Play to win, that's probably a good plan.

517
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:16.599
<v Speaker 1>Yes, probably Look at that hit two seventy six. It

518
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.519
<v Speaker 1>was his fourth arm run, fourth m Run's got seven

519
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:22.039
<v Speaker 1>or eight stole base. That's a really good baseball player.

520
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a lot more powers because he fills

521
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:27.519
<v Speaker 1>out and gets He's still a young kid.

522
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so's so's venge. You know. I mean, there's there's

523
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:35.359
<v Speaker 2>some talent on that team, but they got to find

524
00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:37.160
<v Speaker 2>a way to get it, to get everything on the

525
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 2>same page and move forward. I really think that Freddy

526
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Perrault was. I think that's that is a huge part

527
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 2>of the problem. They're pitching has been even McLain hasn't been.

528
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 2>No should Yeah, no, he hasn't been to the level

529
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:57.799
<v Speaker 2>of was expected. And you throw yeah, those two starters

530
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:03.680
<v Speaker 2>for send your rotation, your starts. That's a problem. You're

531
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 2>not going to win a lot of games if the

532
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:10.839
<v Speaker 2>guys you expect to win fifteen to twenty win eight

533
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:11.240
<v Speaker 2>to ten.

534
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, So let's come back to the Orioles. Keby Mayo

535
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.599
<v Speaker 1>hitting one ninety one, Jackson Holiday hitting one ninety six. Yes,

536
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 1>batty and average is just one statistic guy. I know

537
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Mayo hit some home runs, Holidays hits has some power,

538
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:30.119
<v Speaker 1>but those are those are six fifty three ops and

539
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.880
<v Speaker 1>a six thirty six ops. Two guys that were top

540
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:38.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, top fifty prospects just haven't developed. It's it's

541
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.319
<v Speaker 1>really surprising and disappointing.

542
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, Now you got to cut I think

543
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:48.640
<v Speaker 2>you got to cut Holiday a little bit of slide

544
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.279
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, I agree, because of the injury this year.

545
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:55.359
<v Speaker 2>But I did find it. I was reading an article

546
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:57.680
<v Speaker 2>somewhere today that said the Orioles are all in they're

547
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:02.640
<v Speaker 2>playing for this year and expect them to make moves? Okay,

548
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.799
<v Speaker 2>where do they make the moves an outfielder? Maybe? Maybe,

549
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.119
<v Speaker 2>maybe the Angels can find a way to move my crout.

550
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.119
<v Speaker 1>I think that. Look, the Orioles have plenty of depth

551
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:17.279
<v Speaker 1>to move them. It's going to come down to the

552
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Angels do they want to move them? They did fire

553
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:24.519
<v Speaker 1>the general manager, right, so Perry Misser's gone. So that's uh,

554
00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:28.319
<v Speaker 1>gives them an opportunity to to do something out in

555
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles and hopefully I mean did he get fired

556
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.079
<v Speaker 1>because he wanted to move my trout or did he

557
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:36.839
<v Speaker 1>get fired because he refused to move Mike Truck. I

558
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:37.960
<v Speaker 1>guess we'll find out.

559
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is interesting though. I'll see if I can.

560
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll see if I can find the article real quick.

561
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:52.160
<v Speaker 2>But one of the one of the intuch okay Orioles

562
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:59.440
<v Speaker 2>going for it? And who uh who are the Angels

563
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:05.960
<v Speaker 2>non trade untouchable? Uh?

564
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Probably Zachno, I would assume.

565
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

566
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:15.759
<v Speaker 1>The problem is that Joe Adell is an asset people

567
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:18.519
<v Speaker 1>would want. Zach Nito is definitely an ass that people

568
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:23.599
<v Speaker 1>would want, power hitting, athletics, middle infielder. But who else

569
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:25.640
<v Speaker 1>they don't have well just a trade.

570
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Well no, the the article goes on to say that

571
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:33.559
<v Speaker 2>already Mayer wants to hang on to Debt, Mers, Soriano

572
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:37.839
<v Speaker 2>and Adele. Everybody else is there for the taking.

573
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Which that is Mike Mike Trout. So Debts has had

574
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:41.559
<v Speaker 1>a very good season.

575
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, and you know what I I can I

576
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:49.640
<v Speaker 2>the player that I don't get on that list is.

577
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's because he's just looking at wins and losses

578
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and eras. If that's where they're getting the quote from.

579
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, you know it's Marina.

580
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Gonna be telling us about launch angles and fast and

581
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.400
<v Speaker 1>induced vertical break. I don't think so.

582
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Only if it applies to his new condo. Okay, I

583
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:15.839
<v Speaker 2>thought that would be my train of thought. But I

584
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:18.920
<v Speaker 2>can remember we were talking about Jose Sorano after his

585
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:21.359
<v Speaker 2>hot start, and yeah, I think it might have made

586
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:25.920
<v Speaker 2>even a fact in fiction. Okay, But just to give

587
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:28.640
<v Speaker 2>you an example on Sorriano, at the end of April,

588
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:33.839
<v Speaker 2>his era was point eight four okay. At the end

589
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:38.519
<v Speaker 2>of May, his era on the year was two point

590
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:44.640
<v Speaker 2>six y five okay. Currently, as of today, his era

591
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:49.640
<v Speaker 2>is three forty one. By the time we get to

592
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:51.640
<v Speaker 2>the end of the season. I'm willing to bet his

593
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:54.200
<v Speaker 2>eer is over four fifty.

594
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's that. We had that discussion. Yeah, what six

595
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:02.440
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago, and that's what you included. You're spot on.

596
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 1>But who do the Orioles need? They had a first

597
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:08.480
<v Speaker 1>basement pen a ansa don't. They've got a good catcher

598
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and Rutchman obviously Gunner Henderson. I think Holiday is going

599
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.559
<v Speaker 1>to be okay, So that's good. The problem is Dylan

600
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:18.920
<v Speaker 1>be Versus back from injury. He's a platoon guy. Colton

601
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Colton is definitely a platoon guy. Let's see his splits.

602
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:26.320
<v Speaker 1>His right left splits are one forty three. It's one

603
00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:29.559
<v Speaker 1>forty three against left handed. He's only had twenty one

604
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.760
<v Speaker 1>at bats. So they're playing them as a platoon guy.

605
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.679
<v Speaker 1>They need to get a tailor awards a good player.

606
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.719
<v Speaker 1>They need another full time outfielder.

607
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:43.920
<v Speaker 2>That they do. I agree totally, and it'll be interesting. Yeah,

608
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:45.679
<v Speaker 2>when you look at the schedule and you look at

609
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:49.599
<v Speaker 2>the standings. What in the AL is everybody a buyer?

610
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:53.800
<v Speaker 2>You guys have sellers out there somewhere. Yeah, you know

611
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:54.119
<v Speaker 2>what I mean?

612
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:58.119
<v Speaker 1>What Manford, that's what Manford want. I wanted to everybody

613
00:34:58.119 --> 00:34:58.679
<v Speaker 1>to be in it.

614
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, he got his wish.

615
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it's it's surprise. Let's take a look at

616
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:09.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple of other games here. I mean, look, the

617
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Guardians scored one run today. I I mean they're gonna

618
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.880
<v Speaker 1>have to almost pitch shutouts to him to win. Uh,

619
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:18.440
<v Speaker 1>it's just really, really difficult.

620
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I agree, And not only is it difficult to their

621
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:30.719
<v Speaker 2>expectations for Cooper Engle might be a little high.

622
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:33.519
<v Speaker 1>He's playing field this afternoon. But they do not want

623
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to put put them behind the put them behind the

624
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:37.800
<v Speaker 1>plate plate, do they?

625
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:43.440
<v Speaker 2>No? No, So we'll see what happens there. But yeah,

626
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.400
<v Speaker 2>there isn't an abundance of offense. You know. They moved

627
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Stevie Gwine into Leofs spot to day with Designer and

628
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the two hole, which makes sense to move the waters

629
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:56.000
<v Speaker 2>in their Monzargo Watson's been playing well, he's he's not

630
00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:57.679
<v Speaker 2>striking out as much as I thought. I think he

631
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:02.480
<v Speaker 2>stole a base today, yeah his second. Yeah. Maybe watching

632
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:06.559
<v Speaker 2>can help out there, but you can't lose somebody. Yes,

633
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:10.440
<v Speaker 2>there's a maybe in there, careful.

634
00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Yes, speaking speaking of the of the Cleveland Guardians, I

635
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:21.159
<v Speaker 1>got uh Patrick Bailey's name wrong. I called him Patrick

636
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 1>Stewart were I made a joke of it when he

637
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:29.920
<v Speaker 1>was coming or when he got trade, and I called

638
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:33.480
<v Speaker 1>him Patrick Stewart, and my brain has stuck on there.

639
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:36.480
<v Speaker 1>So I apologize for a Friday show what I called

640
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:39.760
<v Speaker 1>him Patrick Stewart and attempt didn't correct me on it. So, uh,

641
00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I messed up, tim It happened. It happens. Let's take it.

642
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a break and come back. I get some

643
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:48.280
<v Speaker 1>more questions for you, then we'll get into waiver war.

644
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.239
<v Speaker 1>They haven't talked that much about Max Meyer. Nine wins

645
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:06.519
<v Speaker 1>a two sixty ere. It does have a three sixty

646
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:11.239
<v Speaker 1>one expected era over strike out for any they obviously

647
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:14.119
<v Speaker 1>expected ERA suggests a correction is coming. But is it

648
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.719
<v Speaker 1>enough for you to sell high on or is the

649
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:19.039
<v Speaker 1>guy that you're keeping until he falls over?

650
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:25.639
<v Speaker 2>A lot? Would depend on where I am. It's all

651
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:29.039
<v Speaker 2>about context. Okay, if you're leading, if you're in the

652
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:31.800
<v Speaker 2>top three spots in your league, you ain't selling them

653
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Come Hill or eye Water. You need those numbers to

654
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:38.360
<v Speaker 2>stay up top. If you're in fourteenth place, well I

655
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:44.320
<v Speaker 2>would see what you betch. Yeah, it's it's not like hey,

656
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:46.440
<v Speaker 2>everybody era.

657
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.840
<v Speaker 1>That's that's really good.

658
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:54.320
<v Speaker 2>That is big numbers. Yep. So again a lot would

659
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:58.800
<v Speaker 2>depend on if I'm in rebuilding mode and what I

660
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:01.760
<v Speaker 2>could get for him, But definitely if i'm if I'm

661
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:04.159
<v Speaker 2>chasing down the title, there's no way I'm moving him

662
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:08.679
<v Speaker 2>right now. How can you you know you're you're you're

663
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:11.159
<v Speaker 2>giving up nine wins in the mid two earra and

664
00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:14.079
<v Speaker 2>a pile of strikeouts. Yeah, you ain't giving up on that.

665
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.280
<v Speaker 2>You know you're taking that and just praying and he

666
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:21.360
<v Speaker 2>stays healthy and continues, you know, a run of even

667
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:25.440
<v Speaker 2>a three ear ra. Oh you know what I mean?

668
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:29.679
<v Speaker 2>That that helps your chances of winning big time. So yeah,

669
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:31.159
<v Speaker 2>all about the context.

670
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I think Trevor Rogers similar got off to a rough start,

671
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:39.840
<v Speaker 1>two wins in a row, one giving up one run

672
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:43.280
<v Speaker 1>over the last thirteen last five games, a two oh

673
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.960
<v Speaker 1>five ear eight. But Tim, he's not striking at anybody.

674
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Six and a half strikeouts per nine for the season,

675
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.800
<v Speaker 1>six and three quarters strikeout over a month of June.

676
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Is this somebody that you can start to count on

677
00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:58.400
<v Speaker 1>or is this the lack of strikeouts eventually just going

678
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:00.199
<v Speaker 1>to catch up to him.

679
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:05.119
<v Speaker 2>They might catch up to him, but the Orioles need

680
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:08.000
<v Speaker 2>him badly. They're saying they're in it to win it. Well,

681
00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:09.440
<v Speaker 2>if they're in it to win it, they're going to

682
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:11.679
<v Speaker 2>make some moves. They're going to get better. I think

683
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:14.000
<v Speaker 2>he just lived with the lower strikeout rate, and I

684
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:16.760
<v Speaker 2>hope he continues pitching at the level he has over

685
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the past past month or so. Now again, if somebody

686
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:24.519
<v Speaker 2>offers you an arminal leg well, yeah you take it.

687
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:29.880
<v Speaker 2>But are people going to make those type of offers

688
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Rogers people?

689
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think fantasy managers are going to be offering

690
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot for Trevor Rodgers because I mean they might

691
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:39.400
<v Speaker 1>not be looking at the detailed stats that we just

692
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:41.840
<v Speaker 1>went through, but they're gonna now he's not He's not

693
00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:43.679
<v Speaker 1>that good. He's a number four.

694
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Starter and Max Meyer is younger, I think, with a

695
00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:51.400
<v Speaker 2>little bit better pedigree, and you know what I mean, Yeah,

696
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Meyer will fetch something as compared to Rogers not so much.

697
00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Probably might take.

698
00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Rogers is going to get paid over the winner.

699
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:03.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a free He's gonna get paid. Lefties get paid.

700
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:06.480
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a shocking number. You watch.

701
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Everybody who can throw the ball and generate an ERA

702
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:17.280
<v Speaker 2>under four is going to get paid. This offseason. It's

703
00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:18.679
<v Speaker 2>supply demand, right.

704
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.840
<v Speaker 1>So I was watching the Yankee and Red Sox game yesterday.

705
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox have won two in a row against the Yankees,

706
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.440
<v Speaker 1>which is pretty interesting. And Carrett Cole. They pitched okay,

707
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:32.159
<v Speaker 1>but he wasn't vintage Garrett Cole. He did get up

708
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:34.800
<v Speaker 1>to one hundred miles an hour. But during the middle

709
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:37.719
<v Speaker 1>of the game and the dugout, after you'd giving up

710
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.960
<v Speaker 1>another home run and Garrett Cole apparently screaming in the dugout,

711
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he threw his glove that the broadcasters seemed

712
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:47.440
<v Speaker 1>to imply that he was screaming at himself. I don't know.

713
00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:52.000
<v Speaker 1>But after he came back in, he he came back

714
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:57.719
<v Speaker 1>in and pitched a much much better I should we

715
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:00.000
<v Speaker 1>be concerned about these last two outings? Are just saying,

716
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it is Garrett Cole. He is coming back

717
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:04.599
<v Speaker 1>from Tommy John surgery. He's going to be just fine.

718
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:06.719
<v Speaker 1>What what do you think about this situation?

719
00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I like your second part of the statement. He's Garrett Cole,

720
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Cole the Velocities area, He's coming off major surgery. I

721
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:21.320
<v Speaker 2>think right now it's what's happening with Cole is he's

722
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:25.000
<v Speaker 2>very competitive. He always has been, and I think in

723
00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:29.159
<v Speaker 2>his mind he's the Garrett Cole of one Cy Young's.

724
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:33.760
<v Speaker 2>But his body right now just isn't cooperating fully. So, uh,

725
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:37.280
<v Speaker 2>he's getting a little cranky. And I believe it is

726
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.599
<v Speaker 2>with himself. He's not only venting on anybody other than

727
00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:45.079
<v Speaker 2>he thinks he should be better and do better than

728
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:48.519
<v Speaker 2>what he has. So I'm not concerned about Garrett Cole

729
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:53.119
<v Speaker 2>yet now two three starts down the road. Yeah, you

730
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:55.199
<v Speaker 2>might want to start looking. I know, it's tough to be.

731
00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:58.840
<v Speaker 2>If something doesn't right itself and improvement isn't shown, you

732
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:02.519
<v Speaker 2>might want to send him against mats like the Dodgers, you.

733
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Know, speaking of the Dodgers, Tim, Yeah, gauge jump against

734
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:13.199
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers tomorrow in Sacramento.

735
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:19.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh, dear lord, I don't think that even.

736
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, I gotta try. I got a statue in my

737
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:25.199
<v Speaker 1>front yard of I don't think I've got the kahonas

738
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:26.199
<v Speaker 1>to make do that deal.

739
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:34.719
<v Speaker 2>You gotta pass, Okay, you just got to, right. I

740
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:38.119
<v Speaker 2>mean that's crazy, Yeah, yeah, it is. But at the

741
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:41.320
<v Speaker 2>same time, point in time, he could shove it.

742
00:42:41.320 --> 00:42:43.800
<v Speaker 1>That's really really good. If he does, then I think

743
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:47.559
<v Speaker 1>it's yeah, the new season must start everywhere, but everywhere

744
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:50.440
<v Speaker 1>that seems insane to me.

745
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, it would depend on the format too. If you

746
00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:56.719
<v Speaker 2>only got one move all week on pitching, who's the

747
00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:00.920
<v Speaker 2>second game against? Right, I didn't you might want to yeah,

748
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:02.840
<v Speaker 2>you might, well, you might want to take you might

749
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:06.079
<v Speaker 2>want to take the bad with the good there and yeah,

750
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and live with an ERA of seven. Okay, depending on

751
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:10.800
<v Speaker 2>who the second games against?

752
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, the Dodgers of old I haven't checked this

753
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:19.920
<v Speaker 1>season could be pitched. The lefties pitched well against the Dodgers,

754
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:23.199
<v Speaker 1>and I was thinking that as well, trying to convince

755
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:25.719
<v Speaker 1>myself to put him in. But I might do it

756
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:29.159
<v Speaker 1>in teams that want My pitching is horrible and just

757
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:32.599
<v Speaker 1>just for the fun of it. But uh yeah, yeah anyway,

758
00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:36.280
<v Speaker 1>m hm uh so, what are the Oh, let's go

759
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to Kyle Tucker? Speaking of of the Dodgers, I've lost

760
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:43.599
<v Speaker 1>my notes. Here, Wait a minute, where I got so

761
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:46.480
<v Speaker 1>many notes that that's hot prospects of the month. Oh,

762
00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:49.639
<v Speaker 1>here we go. He hit it home right yesterday.

763
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

764
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:53.679
<v Speaker 1>In my twenty twenty five draft targets, not twenty six

765
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:58.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, I urged the pass on Tucker. The speed

766
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.480
<v Speaker 1>had dropped down. It was he was hitting most of

767
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:04.800
<v Speaker 1>his power with his leverage. Turned out, I was wrong

768
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:08.599
<v Speaker 1>at a great season last year, but that stuff's even

769
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:12.639
<v Speaker 1>gotten worse this year. So the exit velocities have come down.

770
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:17.000
<v Speaker 1>The speed, he's twenty second in the twenty second percentile

771
00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:21.239
<v Speaker 1>in the League of sprint speed. He looks like not

772
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the same guy to me. And he's having a brutal

773
00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:24.960
<v Speaker 1>season this year.

774
00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I actually in one of my fifteen team redraft leagues,

775
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:35.639
<v Speaker 2>I sat him this weekend.

776
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Disagree with that.

777
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:42.960
<v Speaker 2>No, over the past twenty one days. Even with that,

778
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm running the RBI. You know, he was about in

779
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:47.920
<v Speaker 2>two thirty two. Yeah, okay, he hasn't stolen a base

780
00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:50.840
<v Speaker 2>in two plus weeks. So I just said, now I'm

781
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:53.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna I'm gonna sit you. I'll take I'll take, my take,

782
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:55.639
<v Speaker 2>my lumps, and I put I think a rabbit in

783
00:44:55.679 --> 00:44:59.199
<v Speaker 2>there to try and generate some stolen bases. But yeah,

784
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:03.400
<v Speaker 2>it now seven home runs, forty four RBIs, and six

785
00:45:03.519 --> 00:45:08.239
<v Speaker 2>tolen bases on the year. That's scoring Kyle Tucker.

786
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And the thing that's again disconcerted. He is only

787
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:16.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine, right, so it's a little shocking that we're

788
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:20.360
<v Speaker 1>starting to see the erosion of his skills and he's

789
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:23.320
<v Speaker 1>still not that old. He does pull everything. So there's

790
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:25.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff. When you take a look at

791
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:28.119
<v Speaker 1>the data and analytics guys are looking at it that

792
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:31.360
<v Speaker 1>this is not a good model. This is not somebody

793
00:45:31.639 --> 00:45:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that you're looking for growth at. This does not look

794
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:37.719
<v Speaker 1>good at all. Now, maybe bounces back next season and

795
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:41.159
<v Speaker 1>he's fantastic, but it looks pretty brutal. He's still very

796
00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:43.000
<v Speaker 1>patient up the plate. But that's about it.

797
00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it has not been a good year for Kyle Tucker. No,

798
00:45:48.119 --> 00:45:52.599
<v Speaker 2>I think in one league, guy have Tucker and to tease, yeah.

799
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:56.400
<v Speaker 1>You expected sixty home runs you got fifteen.

800
00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the number between fourteen and sixteen.

801
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:04.960
<v Speaker 1>That number, Yeah, it's a it's a small number.

802
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it's not good. It's not good.

803
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:12.519
<v Speaker 1>No, wow, Okay to me, let's take another break, come back,

804
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and let's do your waiver.

805
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Armor friend, looking forward to it.

806
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Past week or at least every week that I can remember.

807
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:33.760
<v Speaker 1>What was it like going through the process. Was it

808
00:46:33.800 --> 00:46:36.360
<v Speaker 1>easy coming up with these names? Did you really have

809
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:40.679
<v Speaker 1>to dig and struggle? What was your thinking when you

810
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:41.639
<v Speaker 1>came up with the list?

811
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:45.519
<v Speaker 2>It was a fun list I had. I had. I

812
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:48.000
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed picking it. So I started at the beginning of

813
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:52.199
<v Speaker 2>the week, and I found some players that offered, you know,

814
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.679
<v Speaker 2>huge stolem based potential. There were some kids in there

815
00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:58.159
<v Speaker 2>that left out that you just did. Had some veterans

816
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:02.920
<v Speaker 2>that I think are undervalued. So no, it was a

817
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:06.559
<v Speaker 2>fairly easy task this week. I did have a couple

818
00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:09.039
<v Speaker 2>of late men. It adds Evan Carter being one because

819
00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:15.679
<v Speaker 2>of the injury to what's his face, no, white white Langfort. Yeah, yeah,

820
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:17.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, there were a couple of late minute changes.

821
00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:22.199
<v Speaker 2>But for the most part it was fun. I enjoyed.

822
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed this week. I really did.

823
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:29.360
<v Speaker 1>The first guy is a great name. He's just he's

824
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:32.159
<v Speaker 1>at the top of my list on the hot prospects

825
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:35.880
<v Speaker 1>of the month of June. How many how many home

826
00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:37.519
<v Speaker 1>runs is hit in June? A lot?

827
00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:38.760
<v Speaker 2>You have time.

828
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:41.239
<v Speaker 1>I haven't actually put the stat cecles. We have one

829
00:47:41.239 --> 00:47:43.639
<v Speaker 1>more day to play here in June, at least for

830
00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:47.920
<v Speaker 1>my list. And they think June thirtieth is on a Tuesday.

831
00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:50.480
<v Speaker 1>That's when the list comes out, so it will not

832
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:55.159
<v Speaker 1>be June thirtieth, everybody. But look, it's huge power ninety

833
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:57.719
<v Speaker 1>two and a half monarexs of velocity at a top

834
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:02.239
<v Speaker 1>of one fourteen. He's yoke and everything nineteen degree leverage

835
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:05.800
<v Speaker 1>on a swing. It is a it is a bat

836
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:09.480
<v Speaker 1>ten that is built for home runs. He's striking out

837
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:12.039
<v Speaker 1>a ton, and he's striking out partially because he's trying

838
00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:14.559
<v Speaker 1>to hit home runs. And maybe that's what the Cardinals

839
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:19.519
<v Speaker 1>have wanted end to do. I mean, they didn't take

840
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:25.079
<v Speaker 1>very kindly to Jordan Walker not hitting, and so hopefully

841
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Joshua Bias is not a carbon copy of Jordan Walker.

842
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.400
<v Speaker 1>He comes up and struggles and then gets in purgatory

843
00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:33.679
<v Speaker 1>for two years.

844
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:36.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. But it's a.

845
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Great name I've got. I'm doing the analysis here too,

846
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:41.199
<v Speaker 1>but it's a great name. I appreciate it.

847
00:48:41.239 --> 00:48:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate you.

848
00:48:41.880 --> 00:48:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Put it on there. The question is he going to

849
00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:44.719
<v Speaker 1>get the call?

850
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, that's that's a big question. After looking at

851
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:52.239
<v Speaker 2>what happened to JJ with their whole ball, Okay, yeah,

852
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it has to be a concern. But the

853
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Cards are three and seven in the past ten, they've

854
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:00.920
<v Speaker 2>lost four games in a row. Are only four games

855
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:04.519
<v Speaker 2>over five hundred right now, and I think the Cards

856
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:09.320
<v Speaker 2>have got a reasonable shot if they can find a

857
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:14.400
<v Speaker 2>bit more power. Because there are only there's only two

858
00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:17.679
<v Speaker 2>teams in their division with less than four four hundred

859
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:20.960
<v Speaker 2>run score. They happened to they happen to be one

860
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:25.719
<v Speaker 2>of them. Their run differential is minus nine. Okay, that's

861
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:27.960
<v Speaker 2>not good. They need a bit more power. Nasan Church

862
00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:30.480
<v Speaker 2>is a fine player, but I don't know if he's

863
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:35.400
<v Speaker 2>an everyday player. Okay. I I think everything is stacked

864
00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:38.519
<v Speaker 2>right now, especially what we've seen lately was you know,

865
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Sean Key's getting the call and Angle getting the call.

866
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I think the Cards get to the other Cooper

867
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:51.159
<v Speaker 1>get a call to Yeah.

868
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Cooper Pratt, Yeah, We're yeah. Teams are starting to go

869
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:56.920
<v Speaker 2>to their miners and bringing up top prospects. The Cards

870
00:49:56.920 --> 00:50:00.280
<v Speaker 2>could use that bat in their lineup. So I just

871
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:03.079
<v Speaker 2>think everything is set up and based on what we're

872
00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:08.119
<v Speaker 2>seeing around the league. Hey, would I be shocked if

873
00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:11.360
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't get called up until September? No? Would I

874
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:15.199
<v Speaker 2>also be shocked if he's up to start games next week? No,

875
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:17.239
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be shocked at all. I don't know how

876
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:18.960
<v Speaker 2>it's going to go. I don't know how the Cards

877
00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:21.639
<v Speaker 2>are going to approach it, but they could use the

878
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:24.719
<v Speaker 2>power and that's where he's been flashing big time down

879
00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:28.119
<v Speaker 2>on the farms. So yeah, and I've always been.

880
00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:32.559
<v Speaker 1>And what I'm confirming with everyone, I've looked at the

881
00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:35.639
<v Speaker 1>data and it's it's real. But he is trading off

882
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:40.800
<v Speaker 1>contact for power, and it's just is that going to

883
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:44.280
<v Speaker 1>play long term? Is he going to hit to thirty? Probably,

884
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:47.840
<v Speaker 1>but he could be forty home runs as well, And

885
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:50.119
<v Speaker 1>the question is is that what the Cardinals want? And

886
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:55.159
<v Speaker 1>history says there could be some issues with that philosophy.

887
00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:58.039
<v Speaker 1>Now again, they've switched over. They have a whole new

888
00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:02.280
<v Speaker 1>general manager. Now does he have a different philosophy. I

889
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:03.960
<v Speaker 1>think that's all to be determined.

890
00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:07.119
<v Speaker 2>He well, how long did they live with Nolan Gorman?

891
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:09.679
<v Speaker 1>Too long?

892
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:15.199
<v Speaker 2>There we go. Yeah, So yeah, I don't know what's

893
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:20.679
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen. All I know is if he's available, it's

894
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:23.239
<v Speaker 2>worth putting a small bid in this week to see

895
00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:24.920
<v Speaker 2>what happened over the next couples.

896
00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:28.800
<v Speaker 1>The right strategy play correct. That's what you're basically.

897
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Saying exactly, Yeah, because if he gets the call at

898
00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of this coming week, Okay, for those that

899
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:40.960
<v Speaker 2>don't have him, you better be prepared to empty the

900
00:51:41.039 --> 00:51:45.039
<v Speaker 2>vault because he's going to cost He'll be two hundred

901
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:50.360
<v Speaker 2>two hundred plus and a thousand dollars redraft fat budget. Easily, Yeah,

902
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:51.519
<v Speaker 2>easily easily.

903
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Jake Bennett is the next guy. He's steining at the Yankees.

904
00:51:56.039 --> 00:51:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Friday night's game, or maybe it

905
00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:00.760
<v Speaker 1>was yesterday's game. I think it was yesterd against Cole

906
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:03.719
<v Speaker 1>this where he pitched extremely well. Six and a third innings,

907
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:07.880
<v Speaker 1>three hits, one earned run, only three strikeouts. So he's

908
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:10.079
<v Speaker 1>not striking out a ton of guys. It's a six

909
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:13.280
<v Speaker 1>point eight strikeout per nine, but he's not giving up

910
00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:14.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of runs either.

911
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, No, and he went into I know it's the Rockies,

912
00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:20.559
<v Speaker 2>but he went into Color. I don't bitch very well.

913
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I believe he took a win out of that, out

914
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:27.599
<v Speaker 2>of that appearance. I yeah, my original assessment was bid

915
00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:29.960
<v Speaker 2>a bit small, right, Well, I think it's timed up

916
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:33.679
<v Speaker 2>for bidding a little bit and at twenty one percent

917
00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:37.199
<v Speaker 2>rostered after the past two starts, I know it's a

918
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:41.719
<v Speaker 2>small sample size. Bid a little bit and see see

919
00:52:41.719 --> 00:52:45.960
<v Speaker 2>how things continue to shake down. Because so far, so good, I'm.

920
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Gonna say something bold, probably stupid.

921
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

922
00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not afraid of teams going into course field anymore.

923
00:52:54.800 --> 00:53:00.320
<v Speaker 1>The Rockies are so bad, I'll take my chances.

924
00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's yeah, that's fair. Yeah. When you look at

925
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:10.440
<v Speaker 2>that offense, have they scored more than eight runs this

926
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:12.440
<v Speaker 2>season in a game. I'm sure they probably have at

927
00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:15.480
<v Speaker 2>some point in time over the course of what eighty

928
00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:21.960
<v Speaker 2>games of which they've played, But their offense is it's bad.

929
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm not gonna put a bad pitcher. I'm not

930
00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:26.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna throw a bad pitcher. If there was Tayland Walker

931
00:53:26.679 --> 00:53:30.599
<v Speaker 1>was still in baseball, i went put tailand Walker start

932
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:34.559
<v Speaker 1>him against the Rockies in Colorado. But I mean, I'm

933
00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:37.800
<v Speaker 1>just not afraid anymore. I mean that you know, that's

934
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:40.079
<v Speaker 1>a terrible team.

935
00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it is. I agree.

936
00:53:43.719 --> 00:53:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Owen Casey, you were big on Owen Casey coming

937
00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:49.400
<v Speaker 1>into the season.

938
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know there's limitations. Okay, Yeah, there's not many too,

939
00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:58.000
<v Speaker 2>not many pitches he doesn't like, but the ones he

940
00:53:58.119 --> 00:54:04.920
<v Speaker 2>really likes he hits. He hits the ball hard. Okay,

941
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:08.400
<v Speaker 2>nine home runs might, but forty three RBIs for a

942
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:11.400
<v Speaker 2>player that's rostered to the level of thirty five percent.

943
00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:18.679
<v Speaker 2>Take the batting average hit and enjoy those rbiyes Miami does.

944
00:54:19.159 --> 00:54:23.280
<v Speaker 2>He is one of the few sluggers on that team.

945
00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I think, yeah, I'm projecting moving Ford. You're looking at

946
00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a twenty home run Yeah, eighty five to ninety RBI. Bet.

947
00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:35.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll live with the batting average out of Owen case.

948
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:39.199
<v Speaker 1>Richard ninety one six, exit velocity hundred and twelve max

949
00:54:39.719 --> 00:54:43.480
<v Speaker 1>sixteen degree launch ankle. With a profile like that, he's

950
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:45.079
<v Speaker 1>going to hit a lot of harm runs. I think

951
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:49.760
<v Speaker 1>they're split problems though. Let me see No, there's no Yeah,

952
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:52.960
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't hit. He's got a slug of two ninety six.

953
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:58.559
<v Speaker 1>It's below three number against left hander, so he's he's

954
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:01.559
<v Speaker 1>being platooned against left hand. He doesn't hit well against

955
00:55:01.599 --> 00:55:04.519
<v Speaker 1>left hand or so. Nine home runs all against right

956
00:55:04.519 --> 00:55:07.760
<v Speaker 1>handed pitching this season. So that's gonna mute its stuff

957
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit.

958
00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Yep, it will. I just think if you're looking for

959
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:17.280
<v Speaker 2>if you're looking for an outfielder, I give him a look.

960
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:21.679
<v Speaker 2>I give him a look before the next before the

961
00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:22.480
<v Speaker 2>next guy on the way.

962
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Ye Evin Carter. I mean we mentioned him earlier. I

963
00:55:24.719 --> 00:55:27.320
<v Speaker 1>mean okay, I mean I get what he's on here.

964
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:30.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's got talent, but he can't hit lefties.

965
00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's gonna play until until we see, well, be

966
00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:42.920
<v Speaker 2>after the All Star break. Right, So he's got what

967
00:55:43.199 --> 00:55:46.159
<v Speaker 2>it said one two, he's got what three weeks basically?

968
00:55:48.119 --> 00:55:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Or two weeks. I don't know when the All Star

969
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:53.440
<v Speaker 2>break is. That's like two.

970
00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here, let's forge the sound. July six, it's

971
00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:02.239
<v Speaker 1>not July seventh, is probably the fourteenth.

972
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, so he's got two and a half weeks.

973
00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, well we can go to the Google machine here, Timmy,

974
00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:18.039
<v Speaker 1>let's see when is the MLB All Star I voted?

975
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Have you voted for your Major League the fourteenth? Yeah?

976
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Have you voted yet for for who's going to start?

977
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:30.119
<v Speaker 2>No? No, I I don't partake. As a rule.

978
00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:35.360
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't very much fun for me. A lot of

979
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the guys that you typically would vote for, like the

980
00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:44.039
<v Speaker 1>lad Junior having really bad bad seasons, Trey Turner not

981
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:45.719
<v Speaker 1>have been a good season, And all of a sudden,

982
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:49.679
<v Speaker 1>you've got these players that nobody's heard of, Miguel Vargas,

983
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the kid in Chicago, that guy Miguel on Marcami, Come on, Tim,

984
00:56:58.920 --> 00:57:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and those are the guys that are doing the best.

985
00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:06.159
<v Speaker 1>But it's like, I mean they're not real all stars.

986
00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:08.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're having good first halves. You know, all

987
00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:12.039
<v Speaker 1>stars are your established guys that that are all star players,

988
00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:15.719
<v Speaker 1>and uh, it's you know, they're they're not doing it,

989
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:18.079
<v Speaker 1>so it might be a weird it is Beguel Vargas,

990
00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:20.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry he is, I got I got the name right. Yeah,

991
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:22.599
<v Speaker 1>he's got nineteen number one. He's going to be an

992
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:24.760
<v Speaker 1>All Star Timmy, he probably should be starting.

993
00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he should be. Yeah, he's having a heck of

994
00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:32.360
<v Speaker 2>a year. Joe on him. I think Murk Onmy had

995
00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:34.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, got hurt where it be would be starting.

996
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:37.039
<v Speaker 2>I think Okamoto should be in the game. There's a

997
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:39.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of young players, first year players. It should be

998
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:41.760
<v Speaker 2>in the game. I don't know if they'll get there,

999
00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:46.280
<v Speaker 2>but hey, who deserves to be the Jay's nomination, you know,

1000
00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:52.280
<v Speaker 2>nominated player players Okamoto or Blid Junior, Okamoda.

1001
00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:55.519
<v Speaker 1>But I bet you lad Junior is leaving a vote

1002
00:57:55.559 --> 00:57:58.440
<v Speaker 1>getter for first base. That was my problem in doing it.

1003
00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:01.199
<v Speaker 1>It's like the guys that you want to have his

1004
00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:04.360
<v Speaker 1>All Stars and see them in the big game are

1005
00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:08.079
<v Speaker 1>not having good seasons. It's these up and coming guys

1006
00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:10.920
<v Speaker 1>that seem like a lot of them are having You're

1007
00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:14.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out is this a shift in the

1008
00:58:14.480 --> 00:58:16.800
<v Speaker 1>skill or is this are they just having a really

1009
00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:18.239
<v Speaker 1>good first half of the season.

1010
00:58:19.599 --> 00:58:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, exactly, And it's going to be tough. And

1011
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:24.320
<v Speaker 2>on top of that, it's going to be tough. Any

1012
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:26.960
<v Speaker 2>j that's involved in a vote is probably going to

1013
00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:31.679
<v Speaker 2>win it. Ernie Clement generated the most votes, okay, and

1014
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:35.480
<v Speaker 2>has a spot on the team because Toronto is voting

1015
00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:38.159
<v Speaker 2>in mass and the country of Canada is voting in

1016
00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:42.400
<v Speaker 2>mass or all the Jays again, so it'll be fun

1017
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:45.159
<v Speaker 2>to see some of the results, it really will.

1018
00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Ai says. Ernie Clement was the leading vote getter in

1019
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the American League. Ernie Clement three point yes, Ernie three

1020
00:58:54.599 --> 00:58:56.280
<v Speaker 1>two million votes.

1021
00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes, how did that happen? Right?

1022
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:04.239
<v Speaker 1>People in Toronto are are voting as you were saying.

1023
00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in Canada coast to coast. It's Canada's team, Ernie.

1024
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Ernie Clement is the leading vote getter in the American

1025
00:59:13.639 --> 00:59:17.239
<v Speaker 1>League and the show Heytani in the National League Show

1026
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Atani's only got one hundred thousand more votes. Ernie Clement.

1027
00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:27.719
<v Speaker 1>It's just ridiculous, right, that's why I don't vote rich.

1028
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:31.039
<v Speaker 2>That sums it up eloquently.

1029
00:59:31.639 --> 00:59:35.360
<v Speaker 1>So yes, So Guerrera's got two and a half million votes,

1030
00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:38.920
<v Speaker 1>so he's yeah, he's well on the lead. Obviously, Ben

1031
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Rice is probably the guy that is deserving. That's that's

1032
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:43.880
<v Speaker 1>what I was talking when I was going through the

1033
00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:46.239
<v Speaker 1>voting process. That's what it felt like to me, is

1034
00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that your typical All Star guys weren't really going to

1035
00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:52.599
<v Speaker 1>be getting the votes this season, or shouldn't they beginning

1036
00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:55.159
<v Speaker 1>the votes, but they shouldn't be getting the nomination.

1037
00:59:56.360 --> 01:00:00.320
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not a country club. Okay, just because you've

1038
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:03.280
<v Speaker 2>got history, but it is a country club. You know,

1039
01:00:03.360 --> 01:00:06.639
<v Speaker 2>we've seen players that have got nominations well well beyond

1040
01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:09.519
<v Speaker 2>their prime and hey maybe once, but you know two

1041
01:00:09.639 --> 01:00:13.719
<v Speaker 2>three times. Now. Get some of the kids in there.

1042
01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:15.679
<v Speaker 2>They're playing well enough. They deserve it.

1043
01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Sun chee ching Boston Red Sox, Mister McLeod.

1044
01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Verslo Mayor and Trevors' story are both on the shelf.

1045
01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:32.519
<v Speaker 2>He is your every day, second basement shortstop, middle infielder.

1046
01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:37.719
<v Speaker 2>He's got three weeks of every day uh trip PLA

1047
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:42.440
<v Speaker 2>numbers are pretty solid. Seven home runs, ten steals, uh

1048
01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:45.039
<v Speaker 2>in deeper leagues. I'd give him a look. He's gonna

1049
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>have playing time until after the break, for sure.

1050
01:00:48.719 --> 01:00:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Two thoughts here, One is how much do the Boston

1051
01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox Christian Campbell. They must just despise him. Maybe

1052
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:00.559
<v Speaker 1>he's hurt. I don't know. And then why the hell

1053
01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>does Franklin Arise still in Double A? I don't get it.

1054
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>He's working on his bunting. His bunting.

1055
01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:14.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's got fourteen last I looked us four

1056
01:01:14.800 --> 01:01:18.159
<v Speaker 1>or five more than he's ever had. He's hitting three hundred,

1057
01:01:18.400 --> 01:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just walking as much as he's trying. He's

1058
01:01:20.719 --> 01:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>doing every and he's still sitting in Double A. Granted

1059
01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>he's just twenty one years old, but he should be.

1060
01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>He's he would be in many other clubs. He'd be

1061
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the starting shortstop for your Major League Baseball team. And

1062
01:01:35.039 --> 01:01:36.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean, the Boston's terrible.

1063
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Why isn't he up, Well, he's not up because they're

1064
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:42.599
<v Speaker 2>not going to burn a year of service time. Why

1065
01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:47.119
<v Speaker 2>would they? It makes sense to see him up because

1066
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:50.039
<v Speaker 2>he deserves it and he's earned it. For the same time,

1067
01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>it's a year of service time for a team that's

1068
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>not competing if they brought him up, then we'd be

1069
01:01:55.599 --> 01:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>yelling at screaming, what are they thinking? They just cost

1070
01:01:58.039 --> 01:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>themselves a year of potentially one of the best players

1071
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:04.960
<v Speaker 2>in the game. He's twenty one, he'll be up next year. Yeah,

1072
01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe break camp next year.

1073
01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he might break camp, right, and then you'll have romanantaturn.

1074
01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:13.679
<v Speaker 1>He might not even return the season.

1075
01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, I mean, the last I saw, Garrett

1076
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Corset is not anywhere close to returning to the game.

1077
01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:25.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, looks it looks like you're right, they're just

1078
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:27.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're just throwing in the towel here. Yeah, why

1079
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:30.679
<v Speaker 1>burn service times all these guys. But so we got

1080
01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:36.519
<v Speaker 1>Sung cheat ching, Yeah, we got Chang, Yeah Chang. Tom

1081
01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:39.239
<v Speaker 1>Edmond is back, Yes he.

1082
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Is, and he's hitting well. Uh since he's returned eleven

1083
01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:47.239
<v Speaker 2>for twenty nine for RBIs Yeah, you got mid teenspop.

1084
01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Forget the speed. That's the thing of the that's the

1085
01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:52.920
<v Speaker 2>thing of the past. Those days are gone. But he's

1086
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>also eligible second third, notefield, so you got some roster

1087
01:02:56.719 --> 01:03:01.119
<v Speaker 2>flexibility there as well. And Dodge is don't don't need,

1088
01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:05.719
<v Speaker 2>don't need another power bat. Even Mookie Betts is starting

1089
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>to play a little bit better. He's been hitting some

1090
01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>home er and slavely, so you know, you look at

1091
01:03:10.760 --> 01:03:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I think I think Edmund deserves a little bit more

1092
01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:18.599
<v Speaker 2>respect than the he's playing every day. Yeah, he's going

1093
01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>to score runs. He's going to hit a few home

1094
01:03:20.559 --> 01:03:22.880
<v Speaker 2>runs and hit for average. That works.

1095
01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, send me a sake, ad break, and let's talk.

1096
01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk to Cooper's when we get back. Don't be

1097
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>last week it was Cooper Pratt. This week it is

1098
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Ingle. Yeah, tell us about Cooper and your ingle,

1099
01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and then tell us who would you rather the rest

1100
01:03:48.360 --> 01:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of the season, Cooper Ingle or Cooper Pratt.

1101
01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:57.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, uh, we mentioned Ingle last week, and you know,

1102
01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>brought it up in our timing. Timing was fairly good.

1103
01:04:03.119 --> 01:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I think the thing that's very important, and we've discussed

1104
01:04:05.639 --> 01:04:11.039
<v Speaker 2>it several times, is in the context of the Guardians,

1105
01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:15.320
<v Speaker 2>he is a power beat. In the overall context of

1106
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:19.679
<v Speaker 2>who he is as a player compared to other players

1107
01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>around the league, he is not a power beat. It

1108
01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:25.760
<v Speaker 2>just goes to show you how little power is in Cleveland. Yeah,

1109
01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:27.840
<v Speaker 2>he can hit some home runs, and I used your

1110
01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:33.639
<v Speaker 2>narrative for the three home run day, But as you

1111
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:36.559
<v Speaker 2>mentioned in your blurb, the home runs. There's coming in

1112
01:04:36.679 --> 01:04:40.960
<v Speaker 2>seventeen degree leverage swing. Hey, the Guardians need any power

1113
01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:44.639
<v Speaker 2>they can muster with the loss of Jose Ramiers and

1114
01:04:44.719 --> 01:04:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Angel Martinez, it makes sense that they give this kid

1115
01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>a look, and they have done exactly that.

1116
01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Totally one percent agree with the Cooper Ingle or Cooper

1117
01:04:56.480 --> 01:04:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Pratt different kinds of players. Who do you have for

1118
01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the rest of Who would you rather have for the

1119
01:05:01.360 --> 01:05:02.119
<v Speaker 1>rest of the season.

1120
01:05:05.559 --> 01:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh, that's a tough one because I'm I'm gonna go as.

1121
01:05:14.599 --> 01:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>You're thinking, you're taking playing time to talk it through

1122
01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:20.519
<v Speaker 1>with me, Timmy, You've gotta be thinking playing time. What

1123
01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:24.599
<v Speaker 1>happens when Jose Ramirez comes back? Is Cooper Pratt's a

1124
01:05:24.719 --> 01:05:29.159
<v Speaker 1>really good defender. Is Joey Ortiz going to push him

1125
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:30.639
<v Speaker 1>out of that shortstop role?

1126
01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I think I think I would probably go with

1127
01:05:38.519 --> 01:05:41.559
<v Speaker 2>the stolen bases and the hit tools out of Pratt,

1128
01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:45.920
<v Speaker 2>which I feel more confident in that he will deliver

1129
01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:50.239
<v Speaker 2>as compared to Cooper Ingele trying to hit the ball

1130
01:05:50.239 --> 01:05:53.519
<v Speaker 2>into the park because that's what the Guardians need. Does

1131
01:05:53.519 --> 01:05:54.159
<v Speaker 2>that make sense?

1132
01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:57.639
<v Speaker 1>And trying to play a position that he's really played

1133
01:05:57.760 --> 01:05:58.079
<v Speaker 1>much of.

1134
01:05:59.199 --> 01:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exact. I when the Brewers brought up Prade. I

1135
01:06:05.880 --> 01:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't for a week or ten days or two weeks.

1136
01:06:10.440 --> 01:06:12.559
<v Speaker 2>They brought Pride up because they think he can be

1137
01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>an asset throughout the whole of the season. I don't

1138
01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>have the same level of confidence. I I love Cooper Ingle.

1139
01:06:19.360 --> 01:06:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a very good player, but I don't

1140
01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:23.599
<v Speaker 2>have the same level of confidence right now in Ingle

1141
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:26.159
<v Speaker 2>as I do in Prade. So Pride.

1142
01:06:26.199 --> 01:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>It is eleven games for Pratt, five stolen bases. You

1143
01:06:29.960 --> 01:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>put that out for an entire season. I think that's

1144
01:06:31.800 --> 01:06:35.719
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred sol basis. So yeah, give or take. I

1145
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:38.280
<v Speaker 1>mean that's and look, I mean it's very small, it's

1146
01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>only eleven games, but he's walking as much as he's

1147
01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:43.239
<v Speaker 1>striking out. That's exactly what he did in the minor leagues.

1148
01:06:43.760 --> 01:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>So right now, if you ask me on Cooper Engle

1149
01:06:48.519 --> 01:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>and Sean Keyes the next game on the list, I'll

1150
01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>have a different answer, very different.

1151
01:06:54.159 --> 01:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, Shawn Keys is the next player. Again, huge power,

1152
01:06:59.159 --> 01:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>some swing at best, and it doesn't have great batspeed.

1153
01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I am a little worried about him handling velocity, but

1154
01:07:05.400 --> 01:07:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I think you're more worried about as you talked about

1155
01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>at the top of the show, either's Flattie or or

1156
01:07:14.199 --> 01:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>or George Springer is going to have to sit or.

1157
01:07:18.039 --> 01:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Or oh, commodal or come out.

1158
01:07:19.960 --> 01:07:21.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, comout is playing third base?

1159
01:07:22.480 --> 01:07:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Springer's your d h. Ladie's at first and

1160
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Keys will cover first or third. But yeah, it's going

1161
01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>to be tough for Sean Keys. Yeah. What what happens

1162
01:07:37.679 --> 01:07:41.280
<v Speaker 2>when Shawn Keys hits home? He gets he gets into

1163
01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:43.519
<v Speaker 2>a game and hits two home runs? Well, that means

1164
01:07:43.519 --> 01:07:49.079
<v Speaker 2>they had to set sad probably Springer or Blighting. Okay,

1165
01:07:49.480 --> 01:07:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Well do they put him in the next day or

1166
01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>do they sit him after a two home run day?

1167
01:07:56.320 --> 01:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>That would mean Springer or Lighty is oh two in

1168
01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:02.760
<v Speaker 2>a row or one each? It could be problematic, It

1169
01:08:02.880 --> 01:08:07.159
<v Speaker 2>really could so. Based on that I mentioned Seawan Keys

1170
01:08:07.239 --> 01:08:09.639
<v Speaker 2>because of the power potential, would I spend a bundle

1171
01:08:09.679 --> 01:08:10.639
<v Speaker 2>on him tonight? No?

1172
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree with you. Yes, And look I saw him.

1173
01:08:14.719 --> 01:08:17.119
<v Speaker 1>I saw him played this earlier this this year. I

1174
01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:19.319
<v Speaker 1>mean he's not a good third baseman.

1175
01:08:19.680 --> 01:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>He is not.

1176
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how good Okamoto is at third base,

1177
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:29.359
<v Speaker 1>but I'd be shocked if he's not better than Seawan Keys.

1178
01:08:32.199 --> 01:08:35.479
<v Speaker 2>I watched Okamoto a lot this year, and he's fine

1179
01:08:35.520 --> 01:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>at third base. Yeah, it's it's not a gold glove

1180
01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:43.199
<v Speaker 2>third baseman, but he's more than adequate. Okay, it's not

1181
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:44.479
<v Speaker 2>a problem at all.

1182
01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Keys is not is not adequate in my opinion, he's

1183
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>not adequate there.

1184
01:08:49.479 --> 01:08:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well in that case.

1185
01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:55.880
<v Speaker 1>You're talking d H really first base. And then it's

1186
01:08:55.920 --> 01:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it's the Yeah, they're three best players. I guess Ernie

1187
01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Clement is having according to the All Star votes, he's

1188
01:09:02.199 --> 01:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the best player on the team. But I think they're

1189
01:09:04.600 --> 01:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>three best players are Spring and Okamota. Right, So, and

1190
01:09:09.720 --> 01:09:11.359
<v Speaker 1>that's where Shawn Keys is playing.

1191
01:09:12.319 --> 01:09:19.479
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, there you go the word problem discussion.

1192
01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Right, So I'm assuming out of the Coopers and Shawn Keys,

1193
01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Keys is the third guy who would rather have

1194
01:09:26.960 --> 01:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of the season.

1195
01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that is correct.

1196
01:09:31.079 --> 01:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think Kider Monterra. Every time I see him pitch,

1197
01:09:37.039 --> 01:09:41.159
<v Speaker 1>he looks pretty good, particularly like the first four or

1198
01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>five innings. Third time for the lineup, they seem to

1199
01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>team seem to figure him out a little bit. But

1200
01:09:47.079 --> 01:09:50.239
<v Speaker 1>he's better than I think people think.

1201
01:09:51.760 --> 01:09:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, the problem is a very obvious one. Okay.

1202
01:09:56.520 --> 01:10:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Over his past six starts. He's struck out war one, four, two,

1203
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:06.520
<v Speaker 2>three and three. Yeah, okay, yeah, the ear is yeah,

1204
01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:10.199
<v Speaker 2>the era is great. At three point thirty nine, he's

1205
01:10:10.359 --> 01:10:12.399
<v Speaker 2>sub one on the whip point nine to nine. He's

1206
01:10:12.439 --> 01:10:16.079
<v Speaker 2>winning some games, but there's no strikeouts happening there, and

1207
01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what's causing people to shy away the

1208
01:10:18.720 --> 01:10:22.239
<v Speaker 2>low strikeout numbers. I'm looking through all my leagues. If

1209
01:10:22.239 --> 01:10:26.159
<v Speaker 2>he's sitting there this week, I'm picking them up. I'll

1210
01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:30.159
<v Speaker 2>live with the low strikeout rates to take my chances

1211
01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:34.199
<v Speaker 2>on somebody who's pitching better than my number six starter,

1212
01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:37.520
<v Speaker 2>who is usually carrying an ERA of five. Yeah, okay,

1213
01:10:37.560 --> 01:10:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll take the hit on the strikeouts.

1214
01:10:40.039 --> 01:10:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I kind of agree with you there, He's okay. Max

1215
01:10:42.680 --> 01:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>months is your pick on Friday. Yeah, yeah, that's the

1216
01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Max monthly of the Athletics, not the Dodgers.

1217
01:10:49.439 --> 01:10:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly. Hey, batting average could be a concern, but

1218
01:10:53.960 --> 01:10:57.920
<v Speaker 2>as we looked at it on Friday, power and speed

1219
01:10:57.920 --> 01:11:04.479
<v Speaker 2>are legit right, So hey, he's gonna have He's gonna

1220
01:11:04.479 --> 01:11:07.039
<v Speaker 2>have the job for a while with the Zach Galovo,

1221
01:11:07.279 --> 01:11:11.720
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see how it all shakes down.

1222
01:11:13.399 --> 01:11:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Mayson Nunya is the Speedster thirty thirty five stolen bases.

1223
01:11:18.560 --> 01:11:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Wow, yeah, it's it's interesting when you look at stolen

1224
01:11:24.239 --> 01:11:30.600
<v Speaker 2>bases this year, because I I did take a good

1225
01:11:30.680 --> 01:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>look at it. Your top five six guys are not

1226
01:11:33.359 --> 01:11:36.960
<v Speaker 2>getting caught. The next group down is getting caught a

1227
01:11:37.640 --> 01:11:40.319
<v Speaker 2>ton Nunyaz is in that top group. While he's a

1228
01:11:40.399 --> 01:11:43.000
<v Speaker 2>leading stolen based guy in the league right now, four

1229
01:11:43.079 --> 01:11:48.000
<v Speaker 2>up on Bobby wit Junior. Yeah, he's only rostered forty

1230
01:11:48.000 --> 01:11:50.640
<v Speaker 2>one percent. The only thing I can say there is

1231
01:11:51.079 --> 01:11:53.279
<v Speaker 2>he's a rabbit. He gives you speed. That's all he

1232
01:11:53.319 --> 01:11:59.039
<v Speaker 2>gives you. Basically. Okay, if you need stolen bases, he's

1233
01:11:59.079 --> 01:12:02.640
<v Speaker 2>only rostered to the you know, for go out there

1234
01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:05.560
<v Speaker 2>for them in your lineup and get some stolen bases.

1235
01:12:07.159 --> 01:12:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of stolen bases, I'm sure you were looking at

1236
01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the stolen base leaders. But if you weren't, how many

1237
01:12:13.000 --> 01:12:15.279
<v Speaker 1>stolen bases does Chandler Simpson have this season?

1238
01:12:16.359 --> 01:12:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Don't Chandlers?

1239
01:12:17.279 --> 01:12:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, don't don't look.

1240
01:12:18.760 --> 01:12:23.119
<v Speaker 2>I want you to guess. Yeah, I'm going to say

1241
01:12:23.760 --> 01:12:29.239
<v Speaker 2>I looked at him. I I'm going to say fourteen.

1242
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:31.800
<v Speaker 2>And he's been caught about eight times. I know he's

1243
01:12:31.840 --> 01:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>been caught at time.

1244
01:12:33.520 --> 01:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>That was my second question. You're at bastard. I think

1245
01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>you're really good when you do your research, because, yeah,

1246
01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:43.560
<v Speaker 1>nineteen stolen bases, but eight christ stealing eight?

1247
01:12:44.159 --> 01:12:49.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's yeah, No, that that is huge. That's that

1248
01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:52.479
<v Speaker 2>number left out at me when I when I because

1249
01:12:52.520 --> 01:12:54.800
<v Speaker 2>what I do is I just go to MLB and

1250
01:12:54.800 --> 01:12:58.199
<v Speaker 2>I checked my categories just to see who's doing what.

1251
01:12:58.920 --> 01:13:01.960
<v Speaker 2>And you know, you look at your your top guys. Okay,

1252
01:13:02.840 --> 01:13:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Nunia Is caught three times, Bobby Went twenty eight stolen

1253
01:13:06.159 --> 01:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>base caught four times, Jazz Chisholm caught four times on

1254
01:13:09.760 --> 01:13:13.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty four, Jose Ramirez caught twice on twenty four. You

1255
01:13:13.880 --> 01:13:16.760
<v Speaker 2>go down your top six to seven guys, they've all

1256
01:13:16.800 --> 01:13:21.760
<v Speaker 2>been caught at most four times. Okay, then you get

1257
01:13:21.760 --> 01:13:27.000
<v Speaker 2>into the second group, okay. Uh. Chandler Simpson caught stealing

1258
01:13:27.119 --> 01:13:31.479
<v Speaker 2>nine times on nineteen successes, Fernando Tatiz caught eight times

1259
01:13:31.520 --> 01:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>on nineteen, Jose Caviero in New York caught seven times,

1260
01:13:36.399 --> 01:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Jacob Marsey caught nine times on eighteen. There's a whole

1261
01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:43.079
<v Speaker 2>bunch of guys in there that are stealing bases and

1262
01:13:43.159 --> 01:13:46.479
<v Speaker 2>januarating numbers. But some of them are being caught to

1263
01:13:46.560 --> 01:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>the tune of like forty fifty percent. That's a tough

1264
01:13:50.680 --> 01:13:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Teams are gonna teams are gonna say time out. You know,

1265
01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:57.000
<v Speaker 2>if you can't steal and you've got you know, you've

1266
01:13:57.000 --> 01:14:00.520
<v Speaker 2>got a success rate of sixty percent, you just starn't

1267
01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:04.800
<v Speaker 2>running as much anymore. They'll put the brakes on that, rightfully,

1268
01:14:05.079 --> 01:14:05.520
<v Speaker 2>I believe.

1269
01:14:05.880 --> 01:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was one of the we talked about Jacob

1270
01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Marcy on Friday. That was again one of the analysis

1271
01:14:10.680 --> 01:14:13.159
<v Speaker 1>I had done. I saw the Jacob Marcy's success rate

1272
01:14:13.279 --> 01:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and the fact that it is the sprint speeds had

1273
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:19.359
<v Speaker 1>come down. It was another red flag there. But back

1274
01:14:19.399 --> 01:14:26.199
<v Speaker 1>to Chandler Simpson. If he's going to steal thirty forty bases, okay,

1275
01:14:26.680 --> 01:14:29.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean there is zero home runs, there is no power.

1276
01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>He's got a launch angle of one degree, one point

1277
01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>six degrees. I mean, everything's a ground ball, it's all

1278
01:14:36.079 --> 01:14:39.840
<v Speaker 1>about wheels, and he's hitting two sixty five. I don't

1279
01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:42.560
<v Speaker 1>get this. I don't get this player. I don't know

1280
01:14:42.600 --> 01:14:46.079
<v Speaker 1>why people are rostering him.

1281
01:14:46.439 --> 01:14:51.760
<v Speaker 2>It's a problem because you know, when you're looking at

1282
01:14:50.680 --> 01:14:53.920
<v Speaker 2>an OVP of three h six, he's not going to

1283
01:14:53.960 --> 01:14:55.359
<v Speaker 2>be out of the leadoff spot, is he.

1284
01:14:57.159 --> 01:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>No, he's not. I got three or four, but yeah,

1285
01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:00.319
<v Speaker 1>yea three.

1286
01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1287
01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Last year was a three twenty six on base percentage.

1288
01:15:03.359 --> 01:15:06.720
<v Speaker 1>So I look, the rays are as good as anybody.

1289
01:15:06.800 --> 01:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at numbers and I'm I'm thinking, he looks

1290
01:15:09.960 --> 01:15:11.079
<v Speaker 1>like a pinch runner to.

1291
01:15:11.039 --> 01:15:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Me, Well, hey, when when you get caught nine times

1292
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:22.319
<v Speaker 2>on nineteen successes. Yeah, somebody in the Raised organization is

1293
01:15:22.359 --> 01:15:24.399
<v Speaker 2>say it is going to be saying either you can

1294
01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:27.159
<v Speaker 2>either you can steal bases or you can't, and we'll

1295
01:15:27.159 --> 01:15:29.800
<v Speaker 2>make the decision moving forward. And you might not like it.

1296
01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:36.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it felt like that. That seemed like an obvious

1297
01:15:36.039 --> 01:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>one to stay away from. Chandler Simpson at the draft

1298
01:15:38.840 --> 01:15:44.079
<v Speaker 1>table and Okay, you're gonna get some. It's like expensive

1299
01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:48.039
<v Speaker 1>home runs. These are expensive stolen bases. You're getting poor

1300
01:15:48.079 --> 01:15:52.399
<v Speaker 1>batting average, no one base percentage, I means absolutely no power.

1301
01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you can get twelve more stolen bases right

1302
01:15:56.560 --> 01:16:01.000
<v Speaker 2>now today. Okay on a ninety five sent success rate

1303
01:16:01.039 --> 01:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>out of nunias. Who's sitting available in sixty percent of

1304
01:16:03.960 --> 01:16:08.039
<v Speaker 2>the leagues out there? Okay, Yeah, why why would you

1305
01:16:08.119 --> 01:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>invest why would you invest in simpler In Simpson and.

1306
01:16:11.840 --> 01:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Cooper angles every bit as fast as Chandler Simpson.

1307
01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, on your list too. Yeah, and he can.

1308
01:16:20.479 --> 01:16:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Hit Anthony Siegeler. I saw his home run yesterday off

1309
01:16:25.239 --> 01:16:27.920
<v Speaker 1>of Garrett Cole. That was his first one, So I

1310
01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I is that why he's on this list? Because he

1311
01:16:30.680 --> 01:16:32.279
<v Speaker 1>had home run off of Garrett Cole?

1312
01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:38.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, again, I thought it was only fair being that

1313
01:16:38.319 --> 01:16:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I brought up Shang. Okay that we go with his

1314
01:16:40.840 --> 01:16:45.520
<v Speaker 2>double plate card partner. Okay in Siegler, Okay, that's my

1315
01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:48.720
<v Speaker 2>al only middle er.

1316
01:16:48.840 --> 01:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>That's who the Red Sox with a huge paint. That's

1317
01:16:52.520 --> 01:16:53.920
<v Speaker 1>who's playing up the middle for them.

1318
01:16:54.720 --> 01:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>All right. Yeah that sounds like it's a good legal

1319
01:16:56.960 --> 01:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>firm exactly.

1320
01:16:59.279 --> 01:17:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Wow, good one, McLeod, give you a shot.

1321
01:17:04.840 --> 01:17:07.800
<v Speaker 2>But they're gonna hold it. They're gonna hold down the

1322
01:17:07.800 --> 01:17:12.199
<v Speaker 2>port for a little while. So yeah, is what it is.

1323
01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Sequens a very good baseball player, but

1324
01:17:14.760 --> 01:17:16.239
<v Speaker 1>I get I get why he's on the list. I

1325
01:17:16.239 --> 01:17:20.479
<v Speaker 1>saw how good he is Ian Seymour bulk reliever road.

1326
01:17:20.520 --> 01:17:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Didn't he get a didn't he have a no hitter

1327
01:17:22.159 --> 01:17:24.119
<v Speaker 1>going into the seventh or eighth inning?

1328
01:17:25.640 --> 01:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Uh, I don't. I don't recall this entirely possitive

1329
01:17:32.359 --> 01:17:34.920
<v Speaker 2>even pitch him well. Since they they moved him into

1330
01:17:34.960 --> 01:17:39.079
<v Speaker 2>that role June eighth, he's allowed six turned runs over

1331
01:17:39.199 --> 01:17:43.560
<v Speaker 2>nineteen innings four appearances. And let's face the starters too

1332
01:17:43.640 --> 01:17:45.800
<v Speaker 2>tough to find at this point in the season. Time

1333
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:48.359
<v Speaker 2>to dig deep, deeper and start looking at some of

1334
01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:51.760
<v Speaker 2>these bulk relievers. I'm gonna try and find one two

1335
01:17:51.800 --> 01:17:56.359
<v Speaker 2>guys every week moving forward that fit the Bill. Seymour

1336
01:17:56.520 --> 01:17:59.439
<v Speaker 2>was my guy this week, simply because he was easiest

1337
01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:02.800
<v Speaker 2>one to find, and he's been pitching fairly well, so hey,

1338
01:18:03.279 --> 01:18:04.520
<v Speaker 2>we gotta do what we gotta do.

1339
01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Right on the twenty fifth, which was what Friday Thursday

1340
01:18:08.279 --> 01:18:10.960
<v Speaker 1>something like that six and two thirds endings of no

1341
01:18:11.079 --> 01:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>hit ball, it was against the Royals and they didn't

1342
01:18:13.720 --> 01:18:16.479
<v Speaker 1>have Bobby with Junior playing at that juncture. Yeah, it

1343
01:18:16.520 --> 01:18:20.359
<v Speaker 1>was part of that game. That team was so bad.

1344
01:18:20.439 --> 01:18:23.560
<v Speaker 1>He was okay, but he just tore ruts through. It

1345
01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:24.239
<v Speaker 1>was impressive.

1346
01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:26.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know who blew up the no hitter?

1347
01:18:27.760 --> 01:18:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I don't remember, I do I remember, I

1348
01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>can't remember. Tell me who it is.

1349
01:18:32.800 --> 01:18:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Craig Kimbrel.

1350
01:18:34.680 --> 01:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's right, that's right, Craig Kimberll. I was laughing, like,

1351
01:18:37.800 --> 01:18:41.000
<v Speaker 1>why is Craig Kimberrel even in on a major league

1352
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:43.439
<v Speaker 1>baseball team? I remember that he came in, was a

1353
01:18:43.479 --> 01:18:48.359
<v Speaker 1>no hitter, Yeah, I remember. Yeah, Brandon Sproke was your

1354
01:18:48.359 --> 01:18:50.279
<v Speaker 1>pick on Fridays. He's still your pick.

1355
01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he is still my pick. Yeah, right, organization, right arm,

1356
01:18:55.640 --> 01:18:57.640
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be up, there's going to be downs.

1357
01:18:57.760 --> 01:19:00.399
<v Speaker 2>But the other thing I I did some digging. You know,

1358
01:19:01.279 --> 01:19:04.840
<v Speaker 2>over his past five starts, he's only about five walks.

1359
01:19:05.560 --> 01:19:09.880
<v Speaker 2>That's good, right, you know, if he's starting to control

1360
01:19:09.920 --> 01:19:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the ball a little bit better, I think the results

1361
01:19:12.159 --> 01:19:14.720
<v Speaker 2>overall are going to be better. Limiting the walks is

1362
01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:18.560
<v Speaker 2>a good thing. I think at some point in time.

1363
01:19:18.640 --> 01:19:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Right now he's twenty five percent rostered. He keeps those

1364
01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:26.079
<v Speaker 2>walks down and pitches at even seventy percent of that

1365
01:19:26.239 --> 01:19:29.319
<v Speaker 2>last outing, He's gonna be a valuable commodity. You can

1366
01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>buy him now, you can pay a lot more from later.

1367
01:19:32.439 --> 01:19:33.960
<v Speaker 2>And I think now is the time to buy.

1368
01:19:35.399 --> 01:19:38.479
<v Speaker 1>One thousand percent. Agree with mister McLeod. Last guy is

1369
01:19:38.760 --> 01:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Zach Thornton.

1370
01:19:41.399 --> 01:19:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, who is Zach Thornton? Uh? He's the guy that

1371
01:19:46.239 --> 01:19:50.680
<v Speaker 2>held the Phillies to Wonder ask me that question. Yeah, no,

1372
01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I went, I went through. You don't have them listed

1373
01:19:53.039 --> 01:19:57.920
<v Speaker 2>as a top prospect. Now I know because I checked. Yeah. Yeah.

1374
01:19:58.279 --> 01:20:00.439
<v Speaker 2>He pitched the game against a Phillies this way limited

1375
01:20:00.479 --> 01:20:03.239
<v Speaker 2>in the Wonder and run over six inning, seven strikeouts,

1376
01:20:05.800 --> 01:20:07.680
<v Speaker 2>and then he was promptly sent back to Triple A

1377
01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:10.960
<v Speaker 2>and the Metster in Celmo. They're gonna be moving more people.

1378
01:20:11.439 --> 01:20:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Zach Darton will be back in the deepest of leagues.

1379
01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:16.560
<v Speaker 2>If you've got room on your reserve list, pay a

1380
01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:20.039
<v Speaker 2>buck for him now, because he will return and you'll

1381
01:20:20.039 --> 01:20:22.239
<v Speaker 2>get the opportunity to see him. There's no doubt he

1382
01:20:22.319 --> 01:20:26.000
<v Speaker 2>will be back. And when I look at the options,

1383
01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:30.039
<v Speaker 2>do I want Jonathan Tong right now? I don't think so.

1384
01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:33.199
<v Speaker 1>He's really it's really come down from what he did

1385
01:20:33.319 --> 01:20:36.640
<v Speaker 1>last season, that's for sure. I was worried about Jonah Toong,

1386
01:20:38.920 --> 01:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and I saw him pitch against Alma Rodriguez twice in

1387
01:20:42.000 --> 01:20:44.479
<v Speaker 1>a week, which is pretty remarkable in the minor league season.

1388
01:20:45.119 --> 01:20:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh and Elmer out pitched Tong both games, and he

1389
01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:53.119
<v Speaker 1>did not have a slider. It was a great interesting

1390
01:20:53.159 --> 01:20:58.880
<v Speaker 1>looking Tommy was interesting fastball, you know, real large extension.

1391
01:20:58.880 --> 01:21:01.119
<v Speaker 1>He's not a big guy, had a great change up,

1392
01:21:01.159 --> 01:21:04.479
<v Speaker 1>but I just didn't. I was worried when I saw him.

1393
01:21:05.039 --> 01:21:07.439
<v Speaker 1>And he's not even the worst season this year, So

1394
01:21:07.720 --> 01:21:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Zach Thornton's a lefty that does ninety

1395
01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:15.039
<v Speaker 1>two miles an hour with a good, sweet way. That's

1396
01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:16.079
<v Speaker 1>that's who the player is.

1397
01:21:17.119 --> 01:21:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's two miles an hour more than Tommy Malone.

1398
01:21:20.000 --> 01:21:24.000
<v Speaker 1>That's true, probably about four miles an hour. Let's see Tommy.

1399
01:21:24.239 --> 01:21:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what Tommy Malone was doing at the end

1400
01:21:26.439 --> 01:21:29.439
<v Speaker 1>of his career. Now I'm sitting at the baseball it's

1401
01:21:29.439 --> 01:21:30.560
<v Speaker 1>played guests the player.

1402
01:21:31.399 --> 01:21:35.439
<v Speaker 2>All right, okay, I'm going to say eighty seven point

1403
01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:37.359
<v Speaker 2>two miles per hour on the heater.

1404
01:21:38.960 --> 01:21:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Ex of velocity. Let's see, what is it? Eighty seven

1405
01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:42.479
<v Speaker 1>point two?

1406
01:21:43.439 --> 01:21:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Right, So.

1407
01:21:46.399 --> 01:21:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you're it's impossible to hit it right on the

1408
01:21:49.039 --> 01:21:53.159
<v Speaker 1>nose plus or minus. What what allows you to win?

1409
01:21:58.159 --> 01:21:59.199
<v Speaker 2>I haven't a clue.

1410
01:21:59.279 --> 01:22:01.479
<v Speaker 1>So wait a minute. So you said eighty seven point two.

1411
01:22:01.479 --> 01:22:04.439
<v Speaker 1>If it's eighty seven point five, is that close enough?

1412
01:22:04.520 --> 01:22:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Is that a win? If it's if it's okay, point two,

1413
01:22:08.439 --> 01:22:09.840
<v Speaker 1>is that close enough? For the win.

1414
01:22:13.199 --> 01:22:15.439
<v Speaker 2>They're both they're both close enough by me.

1415
01:22:15.840 --> 01:22:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well then you win eighty six point six. That

1416
01:22:19.199 --> 01:22:23.039
<v Speaker 1>was when his career ended up in eighty six point six. Mm,

1417
01:22:24.680 --> 01:22:26.159
<v Speaker 1>you know what hit you know what hitters hit off

1418
01:22:26.199 --> 01:22:28.680
<v Speaker 1>the office fastball one eighty.

1419
01:22:28.359 --> 01:22:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Four, eighty four. I gotta love you, tom Sure, thank you,

1420
01:22:38.279 --> 01:22:39.439
<v Speaker 2>thank you, thank you, thank you.

1421
01:22:39.560 --> 01:22:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I just picked in two twenty three. So that is

1422
01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Zach Thornton. Tell me to take a break and come back,

1423
01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:46.920
<v Speaker 1>and we'll do the one guy, and you close the

1424
01:22:47.000 --> 01:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>report very quickly. Look at some more games, Tim wins.

1425
01:22:59.039 --> 01:23:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess the player, and it looks like Jackson Holliday

1426
01:23:03.000 --> 01:23:05.239
<v Speaker 1>hit a home run seventh inning, but it looks like

1427
01:23:05.279 --> 01:23:08.479
<v Speaker 1>they're going to lose to the Washington Nationals, who continue

1428
01:23:08.520 --> 01:23:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to hang in there. Tommy forty two.

1429
01:23:12.560 --> 01:23:16.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Jays just lost. But Brandon Nemo ran into

1430
01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the wall making a catch at the end of the game.

1431
01:23:20.239 --> 01:23:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Stay tuned to see if there's a concussion syndro old

1432
01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:25.119
<v Speaker 2>thing happening with Nemo. He was down on the ground

1433
01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:27.560
<v Speaker 2>for a few seconds before they got him back on

1434
01:23:27.640 --> 01:23:28.520
<v Speaker 2>his feet, so.

1435
01:23:30.039 --> 01:23:33.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they'll do the protocol. We'll have to see

1436
01:23:33.520 --> 01:23:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the Royals have now are five to four over Tim's

1437
01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:46.000
<v Speaker 1>White Sox. Unfortunately, Bobby with Junior with nothing. Lane Thomas,

1438
01:23:46.079 --> 01:23:48.520
<v Speaker 1>your buddy, Lane Thomas with a couple of hits, the

1439
01:23:48.600 --> 01:23:50.439
<v Speaker 1>stolen a couple of stolen base.

1440
01:23:51.239 --> 01:23:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's been a long time since he's been by

1441
01:23:53.640 --> 01:23:55.920
<v Speaker 2>my buddy. But yeah, I did get a lot of

1442
01:23:55.920 --> 01:23:57.960
<v Speaker 2>my leg at Lane Thomas at one point in time.

1443
01:23:58.159 --> 01:24:00.520
<v Speaker 1>You sure did. Let's still your buddy. Yeah, come on,

1444
01:24:00.560 --> 01:24:05.319
<v Speaker 1>what's a friend you've got to I When you tell

1445
01:24:05.359 --> 01:24:07.920
<v Speaker 1>me you divorced the player, then then he won't be

1446
01:24:07.960 --> 01:24:10.600
<v Speaker 1>your buddy anymore. I didn't hear a divorce of late Thomas.

1447
01:24:11.560 --> 01:24:13.560
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, he was too kind to me for

1448
01:24:13.640 --> 01:24:16.319
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years. Yeah, or at least one. Anyways,

1449
01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the Jay's lost a again now six games under five hundred.

1450
01:24:20.640 --> 01:24:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Louis Barlin finally around, allowed to run, he struck out

1451
01:24:23.680 --> 01:24:26.640
<v Speaker 2>the side. I looked like a wild pitch, allout to

1452
01:24:26.720 --> 01:24:31.079
<v Speaker 2>run to score. But no offense from the Jays at

1453
01:24:31.079 --> 01:24:32.920
<v Speaker 2>all today.

1454
01:24:33.039 --> 01:24:34.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a problem to me.

1455
01:24:34.680 --> 01:24:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, big time problem.

1456
01:24:37.279 --> 01:24:39.279
<v Speaker 1>It looks like the Pirates are up five to four

1457
01:24:39.439 --> 01:24:43.279
<v Speaker 1>last night. Look Connor Griffin batting lead off again. You

1458
01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:46.520
<v Speaker 1>like that? Yeah?

1459
01:24:46.560 --> 01:24:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I do.

1460
01:24:47.760 --> 01:24:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you's having.

1461
01:24:49.399 --> 01:24:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's proven it. And didn't he hit a home

1462
01:24:52.560 --> 01:24:53.720
<v Speaker 2>run in his first game back.

1463
01:24:54.279 --> 01:24:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Guess he did?

1464
01:24:56.239 --> 01:25:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's yeah. No, I have no problems, just get

1465
01:25:02.079 --> 01:25:02.760
<v Speaker 2>them on the field.

1466
01:25:03.760 --> 01:25:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Ryan O'Hearn is going to hit twenty five home runs

1467
01:25:06.680 --> 01:25:09.039
<v Speaker 1>this season. He said he has twelve on run today.

1468
01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Like Ryan O'Hearn is not a great baseball player, but

1469
01:25:12.600 --> 01:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>you look up he was a platoon guy. Explaining a

1470
01:25:14.880 --> 01:25:18.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit more against lefties. He's at twenty twenty five

1471
01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:22.279
<v Speaker 1>home runs. That's fine for a first basement outfit. That's

1472
01:25:22.319 --> 01:25:23.640
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good baseball player.

1473
01:25:24.680 --> 01:25:26.359
<v Speaker 2>Nothing wrong with that at all.

1474
01:25:26.880 --> 01:25:32.119
<v Speaker 1>High on base percentage, Yeah, interesting. Saint Louis up two

1475
01:25:32.199 --> 01:25:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to one over the hapless Marlins. Jacob Marcy another zero

1476
01:25:36.039 --> 01:25:39.239
<v Speaker 1>for three day, another strike at any one ninety six.

1477
01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>I just will not surprise me if he gets the motor.

1478
01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:50.560
<v Speaker 2>At some point in time. Yeah, it's possible. It is

1479
01:25:50.840 --> 01:25:52.000
<v Speaker 2>entirely possible.

1480
01:25:53.199 --> 01:25:55.840
<v Speaker 1>The Houston Astros have caught up to the Detroit Tigers.

1481
01:25:56.279 --> 01:25:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Jack Flaherty with a good, good outing though. That was

1482
01:25:59.079 --> 01:26:01.600
<v Speaker 1>good to see. What we're going to talk about. Amaya's

1483
01:26:02.359 --> 01:26:03.880
<v Speaker 1>shoved another game on Thursday.

1484
01:26:03.920 --> 01:26:07.079
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Yeah, he's up, down and all over

1485
01:26:07.119 --> 01:26:11.399
<v Speaker 2>the Bloys, but mostly two or three recently. Yeah, ten

1486
01:26:11.640 --> 01:26:17.159
<v Speaker 2>ten strikeouts, I believe. Yeah, maybe he's starting to find

1487
01:26:17.199 --> 01:26:20.840
<v Speaker 2>his comfort level. And if that's the case, he can

1488
01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:24.239
<v Speaker 2>be a very, very very good pitcher. His history in

1489
01:26:24.319 --> 01:26:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Japan is such that that might work. Go for Houston,

1490
01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:28.000
<v Speaker 2>after all.

1491
01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:32.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping he's better because then I can make fun

1492
01:26:32.520 --> 01:26:34.680
<v Speaker 1>of you when he has a bad game, because I

1493
01:26:35.399 --> 01:26:38.520
<v Speaker 1>haven't been making fun of you because it felt like

1494
01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:41.039
<v Speaker 1>kicking when you're kicking you when you were down. So

1495
01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:44.039
<v Speaker 1>I just have the heart to zero point zero on

1496
01:26:44.079 --> 01:26:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Amaya because he was so bad in the first few starts.

1497
01:26:49.399 --> 01:26:54.279
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't uh, there were other issues involved, Okay,

1498
01:26:54.359 --> 01:26:56.720
<v Speaker 2>which makes it even harder to kick somebody, you know

1499
01:26:56.760 --> 01:26:57.119
<v Speaker 2>what I mean?

1500
01:26:57.239 --> 01:27:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know, as you noticed, I did you have

1501
01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:03.239
<v Speaker 1>a heart? I know it's hard to find sometimes, but

1502
01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I do have a heart.

1503
01:27:05.960 --> 01:27:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the compassionate Simpson Brown, your hundred brown you today.

1504
01:27:12.439 --> 01:27:14.239
<v Speaker 1>I think he gave up two runs, struck out a

1505
01:27:14.279 --> 01:27:14.920
<v Speaker 1>bunch of guys.

1506
01:27:15.800 --> 01:27:16.560
<v Speaker 2>You didn't care.

1507
01:27:18.239 --> 01:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Only four?

1508
01:27:20.319 --> 01:27:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No the Tigers again, Bullpen, Yeah, the best I

1509
01:27:28.359 --> 01:27:31.000
<v Speaker 2>think got rocked the other day. Finnigan a loud and

1510
01:27:31.039 --> 01:27:36.680
<v Speaker 2>earned run today. Yeah, clarity pitch really well. Nobody had

1511
01:27:36.760 --> 01:27:40.439
<v Speaker 2>them going. I wonder why the biby Yeah.

1512
01:27:41.479 --> 01:27:44.119
<v Speaker 1>Uh the great John Deane reached out to me with

1513
01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Houston Astros called up uh uhla U l l O

1514
01:27:51.479 --> 01:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>l A. I think he's going to pitch out of

1515
01:27:53.600 --> 01:27:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a bullpen, two pitch pitcher. He wants to know if

1516
01:27:56.760 --> 01:28:00.279
<v Speaker 1>he was worth a it was worth a pick cup.

1517
01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe some holds opportunities, but I there's no save opportunities. Again,

1518
01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:07.399
<v Speaker 1>I do not think he's going to pitch out of

1519
01:28:07.399 --> 01:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the rotation. He's primarily been a reliever for the last

1520
01:28:10.920 --> 01:28:13.359
<v Speaker 1>month of this season, so it looks like they've moved

1521
01:28:13.479 --> 01:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>to the Bullpenks just didn't have a third pitch. But

1522
01:28:16.239 --> 01:28:21.119
<v Speaker 1>it's a good art so quick scouting report on you, Lola.

1523
01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:24.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, and it's a tough bullpender crag. You got

1524
01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:28.479
<v Speaker 2>hater in the ninth. Yeah, King is pitch really well

1525
01:28:28.520 --> 01:28:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to to twenty five Array Bray who's turned it around

1526
01:28:32.000 --> 01:28:34.119
<v Speaker 2>and he's now down to an ERA of six after

1527
01:28:34.159 --> 01:28:37.640
<v Speaker 2>a horrible start. Okert's pitching well, Yeah, that's a tough

1528
01:28:37.680 --> 01:28:40.399
<v Speaker 2>bullpender crack. I don't even know how many holes will

1529
01:28:40.399 --> 01:28:43.680
<v Speaker 2>be there. Yeah, based on the depth of that pen.

1530
01:28:44.680 --> 01:28:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, are you, Timmy. So let's go to your

1531
01:28:47.920 --> 01:28:50.960
<v Speaker 1>closer report. You just have one player, which is thank you.

1532
01:28:51.680 --> 01:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>We all thank you for.

1533
01:28:52.880 --> 01:28:58.680
<v Speaker 2>That so well, you know, after last week and extolling

1534
01:28:58.720 --> 01:29:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the virtues of Jayden Hill of the Rockies.

1535
01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:04.159
<v Speaker 1>He's on the i L. Now, thank you very much

1536
01:29:04.279 --> 01:29:07.079
<v Speaker 1>for for I spent some money on jayde and Hill

1537
01:29:07.199 --> 01:29:08.760
<v Speaker 1>just to have it go on the i L.

1538
01:29:08.920 --> 01:29:13.119
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. You're welcome. You're welcome. Ye. It's obviously an

1539
01:29:13.199 --> 01:29:16.720
<v Speaker 2>unlimited i L league, and you didn't have enough people

1540
01:29:16.800 --> 01:29:18.920
<v Speaker 2>on there, so I probably did you a favor because

1541
01:29:18.920 --> 01:29:22.720
<v Speaker 2>it's better than Hill's on there than say Blad Jr.

1542
01:29:22.880 --> 01:29:25.399
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well, I was saying I was thinking about putting

1543
01:29:25.399 --> 01:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a rider on the on the rules that if the

1544
01:29:28.840 --> 01:29:32.199
<v Speaker 1>player goes to the i L within the first seven

1545
01:29:32.279 --> 01:29:34.600
<v Speaker 1>days of picking them up, you get your fab money back.

1546
01:29:34.920 --> 01:29:36.399
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how the vote comes out of that.

1547
01:29:38.039 --> 01:29:44.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it will be positive. Yeah. Oh yeah, I

1548
01:29:44.079 --> 01:29:47.399
<v Speaker 2>don't know which way, but somebody is positive. Yeah. No.

1549
01:29:47.520 --> 01:29:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I well, when I look at the the as bullpen,

1550
01:29:50.199 --> 01:29:54.920
<v Speaker 2>it's a mess. Okay, Barnet, this pitch well lately, uh

1551
01:29:55.079 --> 01:29:59.800
<v Speaker 2>competition is Harris and old Albaretto. It's not it's not happening.

1552
01:30:00.239 --> 01:30:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to spend a couple of bucks on Barnett

1553
01:30:02.239 --> 01:30:07.800
<v Speaker 2>this week. I totally ignored the Angels situation. I totally

1554
01:30:07.920 --> 01:30:11.800
<v Speaker 2>ignored the fact that Pierce Johnson is now the closer

1555
01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:16.159
<v Speaker 2>until Pegan comes back in Cincinnati and again should be

1556
01:30:16.159 --> 01:30:20.319
<v Speaker 2>back this week, I believe towards the end of the week.

1557
01:30:20.399 --> 01:30:21.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm sort of hearing.

1558
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:23.920
<v Speaker 1>It.

1559
01:30:24.039 --> 01:30:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Totally ignored the Rockies. I'm not going to nominate a

1560
01:30:27.000 --> 01:30:31.319
<v Speaker 2>closer for the Rockies ever. Ever, Again, I don't.

1561
01:30:31.119 --> 01:30:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Think for the Kirby's got the close for the Angels

1562
01:30:36.159 --> 01:30:40.000
<v Speaker 1>because I saw it was like his three hundred save

1563
01:30:40.119 --> 01:30:44.159
<v Speaker 1>or something like that, a little thing. And I'm surprised

1564
01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.960
<v Speaker 1>they haven't given to the Sam Pakman that that seemed

1565
01:30:47.000 --> 01:30:49.239
<v Speaker 1>like because you made that call about six weeks ago.

1566
01:30:49.600 --> 01:30:51.319
<v Speaker 1>That seemed like the right call to me, and it

1567
01:30:51.439 --> 01:30:52.079
<v Speaker 1>just didn't happen.

1568
01:30:53.800 --> 01:30:57.399
<v Speaker 2>No, And it's not because he's not pitching good. The

1569
01:30:57.439 --> 01:31:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Bachman's pitching fine. Last I looked, I think, is your

1570
01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:03.399
<v Speaker 2>e ra A is under three? I'll just take a

1571
01:31:03.479 --> 01:31:06.399
<v Speaker 2>quick quick gang, I got your.

1572
01:31:06.279 --> 01:31:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Covered balls here? Uh he is a Oh that's a

1573
01:31:10.039 --> 01:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>strike out. He's three.

1574
01:31:12.520 --> 01:31:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's perfectly fine.

1575
01:31:14.880 --> 01:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, striking out of striking out an a batter in

1576
01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>any walking too many guys. A three point fifty three

1577
01:31:21.680 --> 01:31:24.600
<v Speaker 1>expected era. So the e right expected the era for

1578
01:31:24.800 --> 01:31:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Roden Line.

1579
01:31:25.920 --> 01:31:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, but for whatever reason, they they just don't

1580
01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:33.960
<v Speaker 2>want to give them your job. So uh but again,

1581
01:31:34.039 --> 01:31:38.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm staying away from the Rockies. I'm going to

1582
01:31:38.479 --> 01:31:41.399
<v Speaker 2>stay away from that Angel situation. I got players listed

1583
01:31:41.840 --> 01:31:44.439
<v Speaker 2>as far as looking at picking up spec closers. Do

1584
01:31:44.520 --> 01:31:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I want a spec closer on the Rockies? Do I

1585
01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:50.079
<v Speaker 2>want Jimmy Hurgett who might have the job, But the

1586
01:31:50.159 --> 01:31:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Rockies aren't going to win any games, and if they

1587
01:31:52.199 --> 01:31:56.920
<v Speaker 2>do win them, yeah, no, I'm just staying away from that.

1588
01:31:57.079 --> 01:32:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I've seen enough out of the Rockies both and the

1589
01:32:00.760 --> 01:32:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Angels bullpen, and right now the Cubs bullpen. I just

1590
01:32:04.319 --> 01:32:06.800
<v Speaker 2>don't I just don't want to have anything to do

1591
01:32:06.840 --> 01:32:09.920
<v Speaker 2>with it. Any spectics on those teams right now, it's

1592
01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:13.159
<v Speaker 2>just it's a mess. And you know, today the athletics

1593
01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:15.760
<v Speaker 2>at Barnett doesn't work out, They're back to having a

1594
01:32:15.760 --> 01:32:20.199
<v Speaker 2>bullpen that can't stop anything. So h it's a mess.

1595
01:32:20.199 --> 01:32:25.000
<v Speaker 2>As well, and it's hard to recommend repeatedly on messes

1596
01:32:25.079 --> 01:32:28.800
<v Speaker 2>hoping that something's going to stick. So I'm gonna take

1597
01:32:28.840 --> 01:32:30.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a conservative approach when it comes

1598
01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:31.880
<v Speaker 2>to some of those pens.

1599
01:32:32.000 --> 01:32:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Rich you know, I stam Bakman hasn't gotten the job.

1600
01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Party Marino says he only has one win, so that's

1601
01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:39.399
<v Speaker 1>not good enough.

1602
01:32:42.239 --> 01:32:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, hopefully you can find a way to muscle his

1603
01:32:44.600 --> 01:32:47.479
<v Speaker 2>way into the second win at some point in time,

1604
01:32:47.520 --> 01:32:50.239
<v Speaker 2>and then then he can be president of team operations.

1605
01:32:51.119 --> 01:32:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I gave myself a rimshot. I was very friend, well done. Yeah,

1606
01:32:54.760 --> 01:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I wait for you to stop talking if I could

1607
01:32:57.000 --> 01:33:01.720
<v Speaker 1>get my stupid jim gout. It's like going on and

1608
01:33:01.800 --> 01:33:05.279
<v Speaker 1>on about the Rockies closers and the Athletics closes. All right,

1609
01:33:05.319 --> 01:33:07.079
<v Speaker 1>all right, so what about that.

1610
01:33:07.479 --> 01:33:10.399
<v Speaker 2>It's a gift. It's a gift to be able to

1611
01:33:10.399 --> 01:33:13.159
<v Speaker 2>to hold that dought carry on a conversation and jump

1612
01:33:13.159 --> 01:33:15.600
<v Speaker 2>in with a lame ass spots.

1613
01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:20.680
<v Speaker 1>It was lame ass, that is for sure. DS the

1614
01:33:20.760 --> 01:33:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers getting z back.

1615
01:33:23.680 --> 01:33:33.319
<v Speaker 2>I heard he's back throwing. Yeah. Edwin d is thirty

1616
01:33:33.640 --> 01:33:36.000
<v Speaker 2>year old shortstop in Houston.

1617
01:33:38.399 --> 01:33:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I and the bullpen Friday at Dodgers Stadium,

1618
01:33:41.840 --> 01:33:45.720
<v Speaker 1>reports Jack Harris the California Post. That was two weeks ago,

1619
01:33:45.760 --> 01:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>in the.

1620
01:33:45.960 --> 01:33:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Nineteenth So yeah, he was recently played to ramp up

1621
01:33:50.279 --> 01:33:56.760
<v Speaker 2>his throwing program. I would think probably midd mid July, yeah,

1622
01:33:56.840 --> 01:34:00.800
<v Speaker 2>post All Stars somewhere in there. And when he returns,

1623
01:34:01.359 --> 01:34:05.760
<v Speaker 2>uh Tanner Scott will go into the obviously the setup role.

1624
01:34:06.319 --> 01:34:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah no, no, I again, it's you never know how

1625
01:34:14.920 --> 01:34:17.960
<v Speaker 3>things are going to work out initially, and the Dodgers won't,

1626
01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:22.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, if Diaz has some russakog off, the Dodgers

1627
01:34:22.600 --> 01:34:23.720
<v Speaker 3>have options.

1628
01:34:24.039 --> 01:34:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, they don't have to force their hand, but I've

1629
01:34:27.720 --> 01:34:32.079
<v Speaker 2>got them in one league and it's fairly important that

1630
01:34:32.239 --> 01:34:35.079
<v Speaker 2>I get ten, ten to fifteen saves out of them.

1631
01:34:35.119 --> 01:34:37.199
<v Speaker 2>So I'm hoping he comes back strong when he does

1632
01:34:37.279 --> 01:34:39.359
<v Speaker 2>in July, it's there.

1633
01:34:39.359 --> 01:34:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Scott's got some snaves. I have my NFC team and

1634
01:34:43.439 --> 01:34:47.359
<v Speaker 1>right drafted uh Edwin Diaz. So that's worked out for

1635
01:34:47.399 --> 01:34:49.399
<v Speaker 1>me at least I guessed right there and picked the

1636
01:34:49.479 --> 01:34:50.560
<v Speaker 1>right handcuff on it.

1637
01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:55.000
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, so yeah, after last year, Yeah, he's he's

1638
01:34:55.079 --> 01:34:57.720
<v Speaker 2>pitching like the Tanner Scott that the Dodgers thought they

1639
01:34:57.760 --> 01:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>were buying two eighteen e or a point seven whip

1640
01:35:01.960 --> 01:35:05.079
<v Speaker 2>forty stragots in thirty three. Yeah, he's getting He's got

1641
01:35:05.079 --> 01:35:09.680
<v Speaker 2>eleven saves, nothing wrong with that, and uh and the

1642
01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:13.720
<v Speaker 2>fine supporting peripherals. Peripherals, he's done well this year. Nice

1643
01:35:13.760 --> 01:35:14.079
<v Speaker 2>to see.

1644
01:35:14.439 --> 01:35:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you a question, maybe something you can

1645
01:35:17.399 --> 01:35:20.960
<v Speaker 1>ponder over the next week or so, assuming that the

1646
01:35:20.960 --> 01:35:25.479
<v Speaker 1>Detroit Tiger's not in it and ken Lee Janssen gets moved,

1647
01:35:25.600 --> 01:35:30.039
<v Speaker 1>is it will fess Kyle Finn again somebody else.

1648
01:35:31.920 --> 01:35:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna hope and pray at somebody else because those

1649
01:35:36.079 --> 01:35:38.800
<v Speaker 2>two haven't proven to be much of an answer this year.

1650
01:35:39.479 --> 01:35:41.960
<v Speaker 1>You picked Drew Anderson a few weeks ago.

1651
01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Mmmm, I did. And now I think they've got him

1652
01:35:47.119 --> 01:35:50.479
<v Speaker 2>working as an opener. I'll just confirm that, Yes.

1653
01:35:50.319 --> 01:35:55.600
<v Speaker 1>He worked as an opener a few days ago. Correct. Yeah,

1654
01:35:55.680 --> 01:35:59.399
<v Speaker 1>it's been an opener and a closer. That's is that

1655
01:35:59.479 --> 01:36:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the same? I they just one pitches the first and

1656
01:36:02.039 --> 01:36:04.359
<v Speaker 1>the other guy pitches the ninth, then it's still one.

1657
01:36:04.439 --> 01:36:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Any Yeah, that is true. We didn't me about Anderson

1658
01:36:08.680 --> 01:36:11.520
<v Speaker 2>is the fact that this year, Uh, he's struck out

1659
01:36:11.560 --> 01:36:15.279
<v Speaker 2>sixty four and forty nine and two thirds. So I

1660
01:36:15.439 --> 01:36:17.760
<v Speaker 2>think he's got the stuff to work the ninth inning,

1661
01:36:17.840 --> 01:36:20.079
<v Speaker 2>and I would love to see Detroit give him, give

1662
01:36:20.119 --> 01:36:27.079
<v Speaker 2>him that opportunity. I m h trade them, trade best

1663
01:36:27.359 --> 01:36:30.520
<v Speaker 2>trade Finnigan start. You know, if you're gonna dis mandle

1664
01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:35.880
<v Speaker 2>the team s Google's going maybe Kenley, why not? Why

1665
01:36:35.960 --> 01:36:37.760
<v Speaker 2>not you have Andrews in the shout. I don't know

1666
01:36:37.840 --> 01:36:39.359
<v Speaker 2>if they will, but maybe I.

1667
01:36:39.399 --> 01:36:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Think Anderson as well. I mean it's a three or

1668
01:36:41.600 --> 01:36:45.520
<v Speaker 1>four expected era, so he's pitching. He's pitched a lot

1669
01:36:45.640 --> 01:36:49.079
<v Speaker 1>better than the Perpher'll say, eleven over eleven strikeouts for

1670
01:36:49.279 --> 01:36:54.239
<v Speaker 1>nine walks, a bit a little high, but reasonable. So yeah,

1671
01:36:54.760 --> 01:36:57.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's the kind of stuff we need to

1672
01:36:57.159 --> 01:36:59.319
<v Speaker 1>talk about, we need to figure out. And the next

1673
01:36:59.399 --> 01:37:02.840
<v Speaker 1>two weeks the time to be making some one dollar

1674
01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:06.039
<v Speaker 1>bets on something. And I joked that the first inning

1675
01:37:06.039 --> 01:37:08.359
<v Speaker 1>of the one inning, whether it's the first of the ninth,

1676
01:37:08.439 --> 01:37:11.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. I mean, you you put an opener in

1677
01:37:12.159 --> 01:37:14.479
<v Speaker 1>because the first three batters.

1678
01:37:14.159 --> 01:37:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Are the best batters, so that you want to get Yeah.

1679
01:37:19.560 --> 01:37:21.159
<v Speaker 1>You get off to a good start, and you want

1680
01:37:21.199 --> 01:37:24.720
<v Speaker 1>to not have your starter, who's now the bulk reliever,

1681
01:37:25.640 --> 01:37:28.560
<v Speaker 1>go up against the three best pitchers and excuse me, hitters,

1682
01:37:28.640 --> 01:37:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and you bringing Drew Anderson that has to say a

1683
01:37:30.920 --> 01:37:33.159
<v Speaker 1>lot about his ability to get guys out.

1684
01:37:34.760 --> 01:37:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Agreed totally.

1685
01:37:37.199 --> 01:37:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Plus I'm seeing little symbols next to his name on fangrass,

1686
01:37:40.039 --> 01:37:41.880
<v Speaker 1>which means he pitched in Asia.

1687
01:37:45.439 --> 01:37:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you are correct, You are very correct. Yes, yes, definitely.

1688
01:37:51.720 --> 01:37:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I it will be interesting starting to look at some

1689
01:37:56.159 --> 01:37:59.159
<v Speaker 2>of these guys. But yeah, a team like a team

1690
01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:02.520
<v Speaker 2>like Oakland should take on the whole Detroit bullpen one

1691
01:38:02.600 --> 01:38:05.359
<v Speaker 2>through three because all three of them would probably be

1692
01:38:05.399 --> 01:38:07.760
<v Speaker 2>better than what they have right now. If Barnett doesn't

1693
01:38:07.800 --> 01:38:11.960
<v Speaker 2>work out, that they Oakland has to do something to

1694
01:38:12.039 --> 01:38:14.800
<v Speaker 2>improve that bullpen or they're just simply not going to

1695
01:38:14.840 --> 01:38:15.520
<v Speaker 2>make the playoffs.

1696
01:38:17.560 --> 01:38:22.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would agree. And if if they have found

1697
01:38:22.399 --> 01:38:24.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe an ace in cage up, maybe he's not an

1698
01:38:24.640 --> 01:38:26.920
<v Speaker 1>ace ace, but a guy that could pitch at their

1699
01:38:26.960 --> 01:38:29.560
<v Speaker 1>top of the rotation, it gives them at least a

1700
01:38:29.680 --> 01:38:33.800
<v Speaker 1>chance to win against you know, tough matchups in the playoffs.

1701
01:38:33.840 --> 01:38:36.199
<v Speaker 1>So it kind of gives them a little bit more

1702
01:38:36.199 --> 01:38:38.920
<v Speaker 1>of incentive to think, oh, maybe we can get to

1703
01:38:39.039 --> 01:38:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. I think that would be a huge win

1704
01:38:41.640 --> 01:38:43.720
<v Speaker 1>for a team that's playing in a minor league stadium.

1705
01:38:43.840 --> 01:38:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean that would be Chi can't.

1706
01:38:45.199 --> 01:38:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you know, the starting that's that's when the

1707
01:38:49.600 --> 01:38:54.840
<v Speaker 2>relief pitching component of the game takes on even more significance, because, let's,

1708
01:38:55.000 --> 01:38:58.279
<v Speaker 2>let's face it, you want your starter to survive five innings, right.

1709
01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:02.920
<v Speaker 2>If you don't have the bulb, you're you're totally screwed.

1710
01:39:03.640 --> 01:39:06.880
<v Speaker 2>It's as simple as that, and it's all there's also

1711
01:39:06.960 --> 01:39:10.760
<v Speaker 2>the demoralizing fact that, yeah, hey, you got a three

1712
01:39:10.880 --> 01:39:13.159
<v Speaker 2>run lead going into the sixth inning and you lose

1713
01:39:13.199 --> 01:39:14.640
<v Speaker 2>the game. Well, you can want to lose so many

1714
01:39:14.760 --> 01:39:17.840
<v Speaker 2>games because of your bullpen, and it's going to start

1715
01:39:17.880 --> 01:39:20.640
<v Speaker 2>to wear on the whole of the team. So, you know,

1716
01:39:21.039 --> 01:39:24.319
<v Speaker 2>in a park like they're playing in, the A's are

1717
01:39:24.479 --> 01:39:27.399
<v Speaker 2>going to have to if they want to be a successful,

1718
01:39:27.960 --> 01:39:30.159
<v Speaker 2>you know organization, they're going to have to have a

1719
01:39:30.279 --> 01:39:33.479
<v Speaker 2>strong bullpen. And they've just flat out dope this year

1720
01:39:33.520 --> 01:39:35.079
<v Speaker 2>and it's costing them dearly.

1721
01:39:36.800 --> 01:39:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Today. That is a wrap, my friend, Great stuff, Great

1722
01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:45.079
<v Speaker 1>job on the waiver wire. Again, I don't know anything

1723
01:39:45.239 --> 01:39:47.600
<v Speaker 1>planned for this week for you. I know I'm all

1724
01:39:47.680 --> 01:39:49.720
<v Speaker 1>over the place. I've got a busy week for me,

1725
01:39:49.840 --> 01:39:50.479
<v Speaker 1>But what about you?

1726
01:39:52.039 --> 01:39:56.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've I've got I've got to work tomorrow, okay,

1727
01:39:57.680 --> 01:40:02.680
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, well yeah, I'm actually you're gonna like this one, Rich, Okay,

1728
01:40:03.079 --> 01:40:04.479
<v Speaker 4>I'm chauffeuring tomorrow.

1729
01:40:05.000 --> 01:40:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay. We have a yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, except I'm

1730
01:40:13.039 --> 01:40:16.159
<v Speaker 2>not making the big bucks that they are. But there's

1731
01:40:16.359 --> 01:40:19.439
<v Speaker 2>there's a couple consultants, okay that are need to be

1732
01:40:19.560 --> 01:40:25.119
<v Speaker 2>driven around different sites. Okay, So I want your thoughts

1733
01:40:25.199 --> 01:40:29.319
<v Speaker 2>on this. Okay. I decided because they are you know,

1734
01:40:29.880 --> 01:40:34.520
<v Speaker 2>people of prestige or you know. Yeah, I was gonna

1735
01:40:34.640 --> 01:40:39.560
<v Speaker 2>dress a little bit better tomorrow. Yeah. So what I

1736
01:40:39.680 --> 01:40:42.119
<v Speaker 2>did was I broke out my Freddy Flintstone suit with

1737
01:40:42.199 --> 01:40:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the shirt with the tie. That way I could that

1738
01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:50.159
<v Speaker 2>way I could to work for It's the same colors

1739
01:40:50.199 --> 01:40:53.640
<v Speaker 2>as the TV show, right blue and the shirts orange,

1740
01:40:53.680 --> 01:40:57.279
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, it's h T hot. Did you think it's

1741
01:40:57.319 --> 01:41:01.439
<v Speaker 2>appropriate to be chauffing around Muckety Muck's wearing a fridge

1742
01:41:01.479 --> 01:41:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Lintstone's shirt, Rid, What would you take me?

1743
01:41:05.319 --> 01:41:08.399

1744
01:41:08.399 --> 01:41:11.640
<v Speaker 1>because you're looking for a big tip. I would probably

1745
01:41:12.000 --> 01:41:13.520
<v Speaker 1>uh be your charge.

1746
01:41:13.560 --> 01:41:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't care about the tip.

1747
01:41:14.960 --> 01:41:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, can you care about the Canadian. Just be

01:41:27.319 --> 01:41:29.039
<v Speaker 2>That's the only thing I got with a tie that

1751
01:41:29.159 --> 01:41:29.880
<v Speaker 2>I can wear.

1752
01:41:32.079 --> 01:41:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Well well. But it sounds like fun. So that's that's

1753

1756
01:41:43.319 --> 01:41:45.479
<v Speaker 2>too high, I smoke too much, and I don't eat right.
