Right, So doesn't get any 15 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:03.679 better than that. 16 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.239 So I want to make sure, I mean, because Tim 17 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.079 and we all know, we all love it.

Right, you 20 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:15.519 look at it and it automatically comes on. 21 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.920 Facial recognition for me is called a mirror Rich. 22 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.959 Okay, okay, you do have it turned on. I just 23 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.319 want to make sure you do do have it turned. 24 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.920 On I know who I am. 25 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:27.359 Damn it. 26 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.239 I haven't got to that stage. 27 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.079 Yeah, okay, all right, well but. 28 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.239 Yes, yeah, come on from the guy who just a 29 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.680 couple of years back learned what control C control V is. Okay, 30 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:46.959 you're asking a lot. I've heard of this facial recognition thing. Hey, 31 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.159 but with a beard, my face changes all the time. 32 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.840 If my phone had never recognized me. 33 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.879 It was a mission apossible movie, wasn't it. Where the 34 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.879 guy wanted to the bad guy wanted to get into Uh, 35 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.400 it's a secure location. So he killed the guy and 36 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.560 then he put his face up. The guy's face up. 37 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:06.879 That's how I got in. I thought, oh that's not good. 38 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:09.599 No, no, no. They do the same thing with the 39 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.319 fingerprinting thing every once in a while, right, yeah, they 40 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.719 kill somebody off and they grab his hand and stick 41 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.280 it on a phone or a wall unit whatever. 42 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.439 Yeah, Tim and I were talking. We have three things 43 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.879 that we can talk about. One is Jordan Lawler, Two 44 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.400 is Jonah Cox or three is a joke that starts 45 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.759 off as follows to just somebody just sent this to me. 46 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:37.599 The joke starts off as, uh, a jew Ahn doing 47 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.439 a lawyer, which would like what topic, would you like 48 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:41.719 to do? 49 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:44.879 Well, You've got two jokes in there. Because Jordan and 50 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.639 Lall are staying healthy is another one. 51 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.800 Let's that's true. 52 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.800 Let's let's go with the joke that we don't know 53 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.120 and haven't heard. Okay, okay, all right. 54 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.560 Ever, start off with a joke. A jew, a Hindoo, 55 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.560 and a lawyer get lost in the countryside while hiking. 56 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.240 The sun sets and they're wandering around hopelessly in the 57 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.919 gloom when they see light in a farmhouse. They knock 58 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.199 on the door and explain their situation to the farmer, 59 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.879 asking if they might sleep the night here. He says, well, 60 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.000 we don't have any more beds, but two of you 61 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.960 can sleep in the vacant small henhouse and the third 62 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.919 can sleep in the warm barn. Both are clean and 63 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.719 dry and have fresh hay that will be comfortable. The 64 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.560 Hindu likes his privacy, so he volunteers to sleep in 65 00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.599 the barn. The other two are about to doze off 66 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.719 in the chicken house when a knock on the door. 67 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.400 They open it. It's the Hindoo. He says, I can't 68 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.080 sleep in the barn. There's a cow in there, and 69 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.879 cows are holy. I cannot disrespect the cow by sleeping 70 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.439 in the barn alongside her. I must sleep here in 71 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.919 the hen house. So the Jew volunteers to sleep in 72 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.840 the barn. But shortly thereafter there's a knock on the door. 73 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.560 It's the Jew. I can't sleep in the barn. There's 74 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:56.599 a pig in their pigs are unclean, and no Jew 75 00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.199 can sleep alongside one. I must sleep in the inn house. 76 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.080 Lawyer sighs and agrees to sleep in the barn. A 77 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.479 few minutes later, there's a knock on the door. They 78 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.120 opened the door. It's the cow and the pig. 79 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.039 Okay, I know where this is going. 80 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:15.199 That's it. That's it. 81 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.439 That's pretty funny, right, yes, yes, yes, I thought there 82 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.959 was going to even be more to it, but yeah, okay, yeah. 83 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:27.199 It's a clean joke, right, that's that's if we can't 84 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.800 pick on lawyers, that's true. I mean, who can you pick? 85 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.079 Who can you pick? So? And then and then I 86 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.399 was doing the Jordan lawler. I was, you know, I 87 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.480 saw that at bat last night. I got a double 88 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.920 one at bat at double and I'm thinking, why is 89 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.199 there only one at bat? So I start searching around 90 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.240 and looking, and he's been on the il for two 91 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.399 months because he got hit in the wrist and fractured 92 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.839 his wrists and so forth. Darned if he didn't get 93 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.959 hit by a pitch yesterday. I don't know if it 94 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.759 hit his risk. I don't know. I don't know if 95 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.720 I don't know what it hit. But he only got 96 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.600 one at bats him. So for Jordan Bahler, that guy, 97 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:05.360 I don't get it. Man. 98 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.720 Yeah, he's like that schleprock guy. He's got that black 99 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.920 cloud over his head. Hey, and yeah, yeah, it's it's 100 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.800 it's not good. But we did have some exciting news 101 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.160 that I alerted to you two just before we came 102 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.199 on the air. That's always cool when one of your 103 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.480 one of your guys gets us one of my guy. 104 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:30.319 Yeah, sure, Jonah Cox is uh. I will read up 105 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.319 what I wrote about him. Our Patreon members know all 106 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.920 about him because I've been writing about him for the 107 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.120 last six weeks or so, and he's gotten off to 108 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.680 a really great start. This is what I wrote, let 109 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.000 me go down to Jonah Cox originally signed with the 110 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.560 Athletics in twenty twenty four, and his carrying tool has 111 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.879 always been a seventy great speed. He posted back to 112 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.519 back seasons a fifty eighth stolen basis. Narady has twelve 113 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.600 and twenty twenty six. I wrote this at the end 114 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.160 of April, so it's probably a lot more. 115 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.120 At the page twenty seven he gets a growth number. 116 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.199 At the plate. He's a slappy hitter who has never 117 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.519 shown much power, but he's beginning to generate a bit 118 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.480 more pop thinks to add it leverage in a swing. 119 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.600 More importantly, he's making better contact, the necessary step if 120 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.480 he's going to carve out a role at the highest level. 121 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.519 For our fantasy perspective, Cox is an interesting, intriguing stash stash. 122 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.560 The speed will absolutely play, and while he is most 123 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.399 likely outcome as a fourth outfielder, there's enough doubles and 124 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.399 on base ability to envision a role similar to what 125 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.319 Miles Straw provided during his time with the Astros and Guardians. 126 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:37.079 Jonah, Yeah, that is good news. You'll generate some interest 127 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.759 tonight for those chasing speed some other Our good friend 128 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:45.120 John Dean on the Discord page again very active over there, 129 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.439 having a lot of fun. He shared some news today 130 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.839 that I find very very interesting and very much as 131 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.959 another one of our members, Nails mentioned outside the box 132 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.079 thinking today the Columbus Clippers are starting Cooper Ingle in 133 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:08.680 left field. It's his first non catcher start at level. Yeah, 134 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.279 so obviously the Guardians haven't soured on Ingle's bat. They 135 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:15.600 just want to try and find a way to get 136 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.160 him into the Lions. So that's interesting news, isn't it. 137 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.480 It is so so if every recalls bow Naylor, uh 138 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.360 probably gone right. I mean he's he's probably in the 139 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.399 minor leagues for quite a while. Tim and I both 140 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.079 independently thought, oh good, Cooper Ringle is going to get 141 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.160 a shot. And then they signed Patrick Stewart. Who it is? 142 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:40.959 They treated big Big Bailey the giants defensive guru, an 143 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.079 offensive bum. 144 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.800 Right, so now they moved Cooper Ingle to the left field. 145 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:45.720 Who is Patrick Stewart? 146 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:45.920 To me? 147 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.560 What famous guy is Patrick Stewart? 148 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.600 Patrick Stewart, He's an actor of the Come On Star Wars, 149 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:55.959 Star Wrek. 150 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.000 Star Trek. That's right, he was. He replaced the Captain 151 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.480 Kirk after. I don't know if it's Captain Kirk, captain somebody, 152 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.439 but he was the guy at the helm after after 153 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:10.079 William Shatner. Well done, mister McCleod. 154 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:15.360 Well Jody watches Star Trek all the time. God, nothing 155 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:20.959 to do with me. That, that's all on Jody. 156 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.920 So good stuff there. So Jonah Cox gets brought up 157 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.600 and the Cooper angle hopefully maybe can't play the left field, 158 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.560 and he's athletic enough to do that. He's got a 159 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:31.120 great arm. 160 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.840 So yeah, and some bad news. 161 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:39.159 Uh there's always bad news to me. 162 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.080 Who's her always? 163 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:41.879 Uh? 164 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.200 La did little cruise hit went into the gap, hobbling 165 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:49.000 halfway down down the first base line. He limped off 166 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.559 on his own. But they put McLean into pinch pinch 167 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.320 run for him. That's not good. 168 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.480 Mccount Garcia's same thing yesterday for the third came up 169 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.440 hobbling and he didn't play today. 170 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.080 I think is hurt the Dylan Cruise. 171 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.960 Oh yeah, he's hurt us Connor Griffin on the I 172 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:12.360 to hear about that. 173 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.879 Oh yeah, yeah, I did. Yeah. It's it's hard to 174 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.480 sort out all this doom and gloom. That's why I 175 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.240 wanted to throw a couple of good good news things 176 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.200 in there, because there isn't enough to overshadow the doom 177 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:26.519 and gloom. Definitely not. 178 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.080 Yeah, let's see. I mean, it's just Dylan Cruz scratch 179 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:34.159 from the national starting lineup. Hit hit hand during Saturday's game. 180 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:39.919 Hopefully that's not anything bad. Uh. Jezu Sanchez announced uffs 181 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.279 removed from Sunday's game with the right risk. Everybody's getting 182 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.559 hit by get by pitches of the wrist. What is 183 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:46.240 going on? 184 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:52.480 Well, when you're down to your high A starters occupying 185 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:59.480 major major league rotation spots. Yeah, you got a lot 186 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.039 of young pig is coming up and they're moving them 187 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:06.279 fast and they're far from a finished product. I think 188 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.919 some of the some of the hitters are are wearing 189 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:09.799 it as a result. 190 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.320 The good news, We've got my buddy Ryan O'Hearn back. 191 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.080 I've got him in a bunch of leagues. Get him 192 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.720 out there for tomorrow's games, and I'm probably going to 193 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.080 start to sit a j ewing and the league starting 194 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.080 to catch up with him a bit, so I'm going 195 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:29.200 to probably rest him for my buddy, Uh Ryan O'Hearn. 196 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.200 So I was just going to see how he's doing today, 197 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.960 and how is you in doing over one with a 198 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:42.960 run scored? What I find uh, yeah, I don't have 199 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:48.120 that information available. Our good friend Carson b hit his 200 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.399 fourth today, which was nice. I am a little concerned 201 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.279 though with what I'm seeing. You know, the Mets are 202 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:58.159 up five to one over the Marlins. Okay, but Nolan 203 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.639 McClain's pitching. He's allowed one earned run, two heads, two strikeouts, 204 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.840 which seems a little low. Bern All on the plane, 205 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.320 but he's walked five to day, I know, ninety four 206 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.919 pitches to get through five. That's yeah, that concerns me. 207 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:16.600 I'm wondering if he's hurt. 208 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.879 Yeah, let's hope not. Let's maybe I mean a greouster 209 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.000 down the walks are up, yeah. 210 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.879 Yeah, and maybe it's just an off day. Again, it's 211 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.639 against the light hitty Marlins. But we'll take a look 212 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.559 at the data a little bit afterwards see if what's 213 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.360 going on. I expected more power from BNJ. I think 214 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.399 it's going to come. He's got above average power. It 215 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.519 is not ever going to be a thirty home run guy, 216 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:44.279 but it's more than you know, four after the first 217 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.879 two months. Yeah, he's going to hit more than twelve 218 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:47.559 home runs. 219 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.559 I agree. What is nice to see is he's got 220 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.320 the batting average up to two fifty four and he's 221 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.720 hitting consistently in the leadoff spot. I think things you 222 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.519 are going to I think we could see a really 223 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.159 good second half out of this young fella. 224 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.399 I think you're right. I absolutely think you're right. My 225 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.519 buddy Ranger Suarez was mewing down the Cleveland Guardians and 226 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.320 they got to him here in the sixth inning. And 227 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.320 now he's given up four runs. So four runs but 228 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.200 ten strikeouts. 229 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.399 Yeah, that's a big number for him, isn't it. Eight hits, 230 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.080 two walks, Yeah, yeah. 231 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.320 I mean it was gone along just fine. And they 232 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.759 just scored two runs in the fifth in off of them. 233 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.919 Jared Durant starting to show that he actually is a 234 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.480 major league baseball player. Up to ten home runs now. 235 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.080 Yeah, he is playing very very well. You know, when 236 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.679 you've got an offense of jim like Austin Hedges contributing 237 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:53.519 two RBIs. Yeah, it's no wonder the Guardians are leading 238 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:54.080 four to three. 239 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.960 Yeah, that is true. 240 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:56.240 You know. 241 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.840 By the way, Jared Durram tim pace for a thirty thirty, 242 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.759 he's gonna it to twenty. But he's got ten on 243 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.639 runs and ten stolar bases or a third of the 244 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:06.440 way through the season. 245 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:14.559 Yes, And does he end up on the Boston Red 246 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:19.759 Sox come August first or whatever the day is in August? 247 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.039 I mean, yeah, you would think that would be a 248 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.320 guy that they would move. I mean, we thought they'd 249 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:30.360 move him over the off season, Yeah, with Sadan Rafaela 250 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.720 and a bar. But once Roman Anthony went down, there 251 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.360 was room for Jared Durant. So, but I think Anthony 252 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.399 got pulled off a rehab. But at least he's starting 253 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.759 to play baseball against He would expect him to be 254 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:43.879 back sometime in June. 255 00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:47.039 Yeah, you would expect so. But I believe it was 256 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:53.159 more recurring pain in the hand risk, whatever it is. Yeah, 257 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.519 it's not a good sign. 258 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.919 No, no, but you know it's the same thing it 259 00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:01.399 was with Jackson Holiday. Remember all day right, he struggled 260 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.879 to come back and then it finally got right and 261 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.600 he came back. So yeah, so if you if you 262 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:08.879 get Roman Anthony back, let's call it July, first, first 263 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.159 couple of weeks in July, and he starts to get 264 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:13.960 back by the end of July or so, it's a 265 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.200 trade deadline. Yeah, you could see the you could see 266 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.919 the Red Sox move on from Jaron d Ran. 267 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.360 I would think that's a real pausibility and his value 268 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:27.320 probably won't get much higher than it is right now, 269 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:27.759 will it. 270 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.000 No, I mean the batting average isn't where it needs 271 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.000 to be, But I mean the production. 272 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:36.600 Is there, Yeah, exactly, Washington up. 273 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.080 Three to two, Washington playing a little bit better, one 274 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.960 game over five hundred. Who would have funked that your 275 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.200 buddy tatist Junior Tommy finally hit, finally hit a home run. 276 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.279 Yesterday's first home run a bomb too. 277 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.159 Yeah, And I sat down, I brought up my avacus 278 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.840 to try and figure out what that projects him through 279 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:57.200 to at the end of the season. And I've got three. 280 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:03.519 Yeah, I'll take the over. But yes, very good math, 281 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:04.639 very good math. 282 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.639 But I'll both don't lie, that's true. 283 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:10.360 I will take the over. 284 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:10.600 There. 285 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.799 Let's see who's done the damage. It looks like Wood 286 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.200 with another home run, sixteenth year. 287 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:21.519 Yeah, and Garcia with a home run, hanging in the 288 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:26.120 second spot. Up and down season there, But I think 289 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.240 there's better to come out of Garcia in Washington. 290 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.600 You know, Curtis need Curtis Meat's over three today with 291 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:36.759 a strikeout. I know he's on your waiver wire today, 292 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.159 and we haven't talked about him in a while. I mean, 293 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.360 it's a guy that I've always liked that he just 294 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.960 has never been able to put it together and I 295 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.039 still have him on a couple of teams just because 296 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.879 Dynasty League teams, just because I'm stubborn like you. But 297 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:52.840 I don't know if I believe in it or not. 298 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:59.080 Well I'm not. I'm not one hundred percent sold. But 299 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.320 at the same point in time, when you look at 300 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.080 what he's done over the past couple of weeks, like 301 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.960 those numbers are in the books, they're very real, and 302 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.039 he has just been on fire. I think he's I 303 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.399 don't have it up in front of you, but I 304 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.000 think four home runs and ten RBIs in the past 305 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.240 two weeks, that's that's big numbers. I can see why 306 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.919 he's hitting in the three hole today for the Nationals. 307 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:24.360 Well, his exit velocity is up two miles. So last 308 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:26.799 year was eighty seven point five this year eighty nine 309 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.200 point four launch ack on fifteen degrees. I mean, that's 310 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.879 a guy that should hit twenty home runs. If he 311 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.919 can produce an eighty nine and a half mon our 312 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.240 ex velocity with a fifteen degree of launch, you should 313 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:38.679 hit twenty home runs. 314 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:42.519 Yeah, because his contact skills through through the miners have 315 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:46.440 always been fairly solid, haven't they always been fairly exactly? 316 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.639 Yeah, Look, he's walking as much as he's striking out, 317 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.080 it's only striking out sixty percent of the time, walking 318 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:53.440 fourteen percent of the time. 319 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:54.879 Good numbers. 320 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.679 I mean, it's yes. I mean, I'm glad I held 321 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.000 on to my I'm not telling you I I did 322 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.200 it with a lot of forethought. I just I just 323 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.920 had an intuition that he was a better player than 324 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.240 what he was showing well. 325 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:13.160 And I think, you know, sometimes a move and a 326 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:17.680 fresh start helps, And I think in Tampa Bay, I 327 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.880 think I think that was the best thing that could 328 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.119 have happened for Curtis Mead was moving to another organization. 329 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.720 He was sort of starting to trap in nowhere land 330 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:31.839 in you know, in Orlando or Saint Pete's sorry, but 331 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.759 he was starting trapped in nowhere. It just was not happening. 332 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.240 And that fresh location, I think is done. Them a 333 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:40.000 world are good. 334 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.440 Yeah, I mean as good as the Tampa Bay Rays 335 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.279 are as an organization. It's tough if you're if your 336 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.920 name's not Junior Cameron Earra, I mean, you're you are 337 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:53.119 going to more than likely platoon. 338 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.680 Yes you are. Actually I had to rewrite that my 339 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.480 narrative on Curtis Mead because that's when the first he's 340 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.240 playing nine out of ten, the Rays aren't platuning him. 341 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:05.359 I had a brain cramp for exactly I read it over. 342 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:10.759 I say, hey, he's not there anymore, Kim, and we 343 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.160 had to do some modifications before you're a A one. 344 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.559 I call it a one. That's how I remember at 345 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:20.319 Steak Sauce. AI guy fixes it up for me. 346 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:25.440 Yeah, for sure, let's see the Mets. We talked about 347 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:29.400 the Mets. See it looks like the Detroit Tigers and 348 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:34.240 you're you're vaunted Chicago White Sox. Four games over five hundred, unbelievable. 349 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:36.920 It's just with the White Sox going out there, Sean 350 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.799 Burke another Connectic three seventy four era, I mean, what 351 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.839 is I'm not sure how this is possibly happening, but 352 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:47.680 it is justin Zallas playing first base as you predicted. 353 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:49.759 So he's going to play all over the field, hasn't 354 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.640 gotten a hit yet. We'll see. 355 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.000 Yeah, Tim and Iron opposite opposite ends on this one. 356 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:01.319 I I rethought that went through after our discussion and 357 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:07.039 we're still on We're on opposite ends. But I had 358 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.599 to put a caveat in my description for him today. 359 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:16.680 That makes that makes a fair bit of sense. I 360 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.079 think there's a little bit more of a logical way 361 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:23.160 of looking at things. Turning over to the Brewery. 362 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:26.279 If I could just comment, it's not that I don't 363 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.640 like Gonzales, I just think everybody needs This is not 364 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:34.319 a guy the eighteen home runs that were hit, fifteen 365 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:36.559 of them out of the eighteen and Charlotte. 366 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.559 I've been to Charlotte one hundred times at the stadium. 367 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.880 I'm telling you everything flies out of that stadium. This 368 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.359 is not a thirty home run guy. This is a 369 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.279 ten to twelve home run guy who can hit. And 370 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.640 if you with not much speed, if you think that's 371 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.880 who the guy is good, If you think he's a 372 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.359 thirty five home run guy, you're going to spend all 373 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.359 your fab I'm afraid you might be mis taken. 374 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:03.839 Yeah, and that's what I that's what I qualified in 375 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.799 my narrative. I just said, remember where he got those 376 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:10.839 eighteen minor league home runs? Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry you 377 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:18.000 were saying, yeah, Misserski going up against my today, down 378 00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.640 to earth for my am I but not not a disaster. 379 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:23.119 Four and two thirds. He's allowed three hits, two walks 380 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.440 tour and runs with four strikeouts. Miserowski's throwing at one 381 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.519 hundred and fifteen today, He's four inings pitch, three hits, 382 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:31.519 four strikeouts. 383 00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:36.400 So it's not a no way hit or I will 384 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.640 take that what he is doing absolutely one, because his 385 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.400 five innings, he just got his fifth, just got the 386 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:47.319 last out, five inues, hits to and runs, four strikeouts, 387 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.839 And I'm not complaining about that at all. 388 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.319 Yeah, I don't. I don't think there is any reason 389 00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:55.359 to complain. What I like to see is the fact 390 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:57.240 that he made it through five innings and back to 391 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.160 back starts, and the walks are down a little bit today. 392 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:04.599 So David Hamilton having a huge game for the Brewers. 393 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:11.440 Three stolen bases. Wow, that's all I can do, though, Yeah, 394 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:13.880 it is. But I happen to have him on the team, 395 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.200 so I'm just I'm sort of yeah. 396 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.319 Wow, you've been carrying him? 397 00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:24.400 Uh yeah I have. Yeah, it's good. I think he's 398 00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:27.319 a little guy. 399 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:31.640 Very funny. Uh. Texas Rangers up Ford to nothing. Michael 400 00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.359 Walker having another good season but getting beat up a 401 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.839
