Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna say, you know, it's gonna be

4
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,840
a fun show and we forget who we are before

5
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,280
we just get on the air. Right.

6
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: We went out to dinner last night, stayed out so

7
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:39,039
like we had it was burger night at one of

8
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:42,240
the local joints. So we uh we had burgers. They

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,799
were comet burgers. Timmy one was a truffle burger. They

10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:51,479
had bison burgers. Uh wagu beef burgers.

11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,079
Speaker 2: Had cost that that would cost you in our.

12
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: They were it was it was a charity type thing,

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,719
so they was all included in the ridiculous Yeah do

14
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:02,840
you make but.

15
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:06,079
Speaker 2: Well you hate like they didn't serve your chickens, so.

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,719
Speaker 1: That there was there was chickens not quite for like

17
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:09,760
it didn't look too good.

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: But looked a little foul, a little found.

19
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: Exactly there's a room shot very well playd It sounds.

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,239
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, this week's been hasn't been a great week,

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:30,439
but uh I got one up into first and yeah, yeah,

22
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,040
you know it's such a weird year. It's it's a

23
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:39,560
league where uh it's to redraft, but you can't trade. Okay,

24
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:44,439
And what I've found is one hundred and seven hundred

25
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:48,480
and eight points might win it because every team in

26
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:52,799
the top seven or eight that's still in contention, they've

27
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:56,400
all got flaws. Every single team has a flaw somewhere.

28
00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:59,599
And my team, I've got a lot of seven's eights.

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,439
I got a couple a couple high numbers, but I

30
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:05,319
don't have any low numbers. And it sort of push

31
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,319
pushed me, like my flaws are across the board. Okay,

32
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:10,759
they're not.

33
00:02:12,039 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: You can look at it both ways. Flaws across the

34
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,919
board are pretty good in every every category.

35
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And in this case, it's sort of propelled me

36
00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:23,479
for now in the first but it's going to be

37
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:28,919
a close battle simply because it's it's hard this year

38
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,159
with all of the injuries players getting called up, especially

39
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:37,400
the injuries. Uh you know, well, when you lose a

40
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:40,680
Bobby Wit or you lose a Shade Angulars, you know

41
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,319
right now And in my case, I missed Wyatt Langford

42
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,960
for a long time and he's back and that's making

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,120
a huge difference to my team. The injuries have played

44
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,759
a huge role but again getting a Normally you'd be

45
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:59,159
looking at one hundred and twenty five plus points in

46
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,360
a fifteen team you can pull off the win. But

47
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:03,919
this year it's I think we're going to see a

48
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,680
lot of numbers lower than that, simply because of all

49
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:09,439
of the different challenges we've had to deal with across

50
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:10,240
the course of the year.

51
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I've seen that, I've seen both. I'm

52
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:15,879
still seeing teams pull away, but I don't playing a

53
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,680
lot of redraft leagues, but in dynasty leagues, there's it's

54
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:23,000
it's pretty much still in the middle as well. I

55
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,319
mean there's some teams that have really leagues, have really

56
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,520
good teams, but uh, the injury is just tough. I mean,

57
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,800
we just lost more players this week. We'll just go

58
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:34,039
to this part of the of the program, and we've

59
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:37,879
got Byron Buckston's hurt again, Casey Schmidt's done for the season.

60
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,719
Vinp is out again. Just a brutal year for Vinie Pascantino.

61
00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so has been out. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, that's

62
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,680
that's a that's a big loss. Yeah. No, you start

63
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:57,280
looking all those players you just listed. I went through

64
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,120
and tried to look at possible replace Spence, and I

65
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,280
gotta be totally honest with you. I've come up with

66
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,280
some names, but there is not There's not a whole

67
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:13,360
lot there that we can be searching out. Okay, like Buxton, Okay,

68
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,879
there's nobody in Minnesota you want to grab, you know,

69
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,279
your best hope there is that they bring up Walker

70
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:20,519
Jenkins at some point.

71
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: And I think, I mean, is he is he's playing?

72
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,439
He might be still, No, he's back playing. Talk about it.

73
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,040
They cannot stay healthy.

74
00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're betting on Jenkins to help you with

75
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,199
Byron Buxton? Is it is?

76
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,959
Speaker 1: It is curious? Are the Twins doing something wrong or

77
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,800
they just running into bad luck? Because I mean Royce Lewis,

78
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:53,160
Byron Bucks and a Walker Jenkins. I'm sorry, Timmy, he's

79
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,680
in that camp of Wow, if he only played every

80
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,040
every inning and of every game, boy, this guy would

81
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,199
be really good. He just can't. He's only twenty one

82
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,399
years old. Can't stay healthy.

83
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I don't know. Byron buctions in a class

84
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,920
all of his own. But if you take a look

85
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,920
at it, if you take a look at the Twins

86
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,120
Twins roster, okay, yeah, it's not overpowering. Oh was that.

87
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,199
Speaker 1: No, no, and it's it's just weird how they seem

88
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,480
to have a bunch of players in the same mold

89
00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:29,240
of incredibly talent if it just cannot stay healthy, and uh,

90
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,800
I know that's across the board, but it's, uh, it

91
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:34,839
is something. So we'll get we'll get to those who

92
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,680
Tim's going to replace those guys with. But this is

93
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,360
primarily like a pre pre trading deadline show. We'll be

94
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:44,600
back on Sunday, Timmy, I need to move the show

95
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,959
up an hour. Hopefully that will work for you. It's

96
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,319
it's family Day at the baseball Park for the Wilson Class.

97
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: So I got nine tickets, got nine tickets.

98
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: Did I tell you we're expecting to grow by two?

99
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: Yes you did. Congratulations.

100
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:02,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. My daughter in law is pregnant with her third

101
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,959
and I'm pretty sure my son is said that's it.

102
00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:09,519
So and my daughter is pregnant with her first, so

103
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,920
it's very very exciting. They're both due in late November

104
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,480
early December, so very very exciting. But we're going at nine,

105
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,800
So going to the summrset Patriots, but I think it's

106
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,319
going to rain, so I might get canceled or postponed.

107
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:26,160
But anyway, that's the game starts at five, so I

108
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:28,720
need to get a little early to make sure i'm there.

109
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,199
I can't be the guy that gets there late.

110
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,759
Speaker 2: So well, no, no, when, no, when you're paying the

111
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,480
tickets and hey, hey you're getting a you're getting a

112
00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:40,600
bargain too, because you're getting eleven in and you're only

113
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:41,360
paying for nine.

114
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: Right, that's true. I'm getting eleven, that's true. I got

115
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,120
two in the oven. So yeah, there you go.

116
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:51,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a deal like that.

117
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: Wednesday was a great day for me. So so Tuesday

118
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,000
and Wednesday. So Tuesday, I mean, timmy, I it poured here.

119
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,639
It was I've never seen it rain that hard for

120
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:06,600
that long. I mean, so every baseball game around here

121
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,079
got canceled and it was great. I got chance to

122
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,959
stay home, Vegi out with LORI watching ted Lasso or

123
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,480
were we watching that? And then the best news is

124
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,319
double hitter day on on on Wednesday, so you get, uh,

125
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,360
you get let's see fourteen innings and for uh because

126
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,399
they only play seven and double hitters here. But yeah,

127
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:30,439
that was great. So Tuesday and Wednesday great days.

128
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I had I was on the

rollb host of other week I ended up with three

130
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:40,600
trips long trips into Manitoba. I did. I did pull

131
00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:42,759
one over on a nurse this morning. That was pretty

132
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:45,959
pretty funny. I had to pick somebody up because they

133
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:49,360
were short, somebody at the at the one facility I

134
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,079
drop off to. So I said the nurse when I

135
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:54,240
picked you up, sorry, I'm a few minutes late, but

136
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:59,279

137
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:01,920

165
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:38,879
Well it's not a real tough prediction, okay, but I'd

166
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:41,559
love to see him end up somewhere else. I really would.

167
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,279
And now with Max Clark coming up, what does that

168
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,639
mean or does it mean anything? It's just time because

169
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:49,879
he's been so hot or.

170
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: I think it's weird if I may, because yes, he's

171
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,399
he has not made his case this season up until

172
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,200
the last four or five weeks. He's been great. He

173
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:03,399
got it off, he got started off really hot. He's

174
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,000
cooled off for good two months and now he's back

175
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:09,480
to being hot. But all along time of the underlying

176
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,120
data said good. But they just put a bunch of

177
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:16,120
stiffs out in the outfield. Now they're thinking about coming sellers.

178
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,720
Let's burn his rookie eligibility, let's burn his service time.

179
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:20,960
And I don't get it.

180
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: They're obviously working under the Colorado Rocky system right now.

181
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: You're gonna bring him up for a couple three weeks

182
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,480
and then he won't perform.

183
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,639
Speaker 2: Well, it's just nonsensical, which fits the Colorado Rockies build. Yeah,

184
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,240
I agree with you. Yeah, they're going to move s Google,

185
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,440
but they're bringing up their top prospect and Saint Louis

186
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:52,840
is bringing up their top pitching prospect and leaving the best,

187
00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:55,720
arguably the best power bat in the miners still in

188
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:58,759
the minors. What by his head? What two doubles in

189
00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:02,240
another home run? The other yesterday or the day before, Like,

190
00:11:02,919 --> 00:11:05,399
come on, come on, Like you're going to bring up

191
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:10,759
Quinn Matthews and he's starting Saturday. You're bringing him up,

192
00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:15,559
and you're leaving Bias to sit on the farm. Like, hello,

193
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:17,759
Saint Louis, you know what I mean?

194
00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, but where where where would Bias play. Where

195
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,320
would he play?

196
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: Who cares he's better than whoever they've got?

197
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:27,039
Speaker 1: All right, well, I mean, let's I mean, that's the problem.

198
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,559
A picture can always get called up. And by the way,

199
00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:33,840
Quinn Matthews has not been good this season. He's pictureon

200
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:36,360
members that read my stuff know that I thickets. Over

201
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,320
the last eight games, he's been great. That's why he's

202
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,480
getting the call. But the walks have been crazy bad.

203
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I am my my analysis because he's going

204
00:11:47,919 --> 00:11:53,120
he's my he's my picture. Okay, to target my my analysis.

205
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:59,000
You'll like, you'll like this is very short and sweet. Uh,

206
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,840
big strike coach, big walks, big debut on Saturday against

207
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,159
the offensively challenged Blue Days Blue Jays. All and all

208
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,759
sounds like a goal for me. But he's got a

209
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:11,360
big strikeouts, big walks.

210
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: So it's interesting what's happened to Quinn Matthews? If I may,

211
00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:17,240
because this is what I do from living, then I

212
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:21,279
had no other value. So let me add some value here. Okay,

213
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,240
So two years ago Quinn Matthews looked great, I mean,

214
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:28,200
just was a real breakout candidate, and then last year

215
00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:30,919
he hurt his back and he missed some time, and

216
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,879
then when he came back, I think he was trying

217
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:38,480
to alter his pitching mechanics so he wouldn't hurt his

218
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,679
back again, and he got his mechanics all out of

219
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,360
whack and he wasn't able to land his slider at all.

220
00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:47,279
So this year, first part of the year, the same

221
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,120
thing was happening. And I know this for a least.

222
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,600
This is what the Saint Louis Cardinals share with me,

223
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,240
that they were trying to encourage him to go back

224
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:56,320
to his old mechanics, that there was nothing wrong with

225
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,240
his back was fine, but he was afraid to and

226
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:02,879
he just couldn't get his body to kind of do

227
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,039
what they were telling him to do and go back

228
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:08,519
to the old Mechanicis was really fascinating that it wasn't

229
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,000
like I refuse to go back to my own mechanics.

230
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,159
He just couldn't do it like it's it's like he

231
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:16,279
was too used to throwing it. So apparently that's starting

232
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:18,159
to happen. So the walks are coming down. So if

233
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,039
he could turn back into the guy that we saw

234
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:23,440
in twenty twenty four, that's a mid rotation, maybe even

235
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,679
a little bit more of a pittricksays really good stuff.

236
00:13:25,759 --> 00:13:28,960
So just a little work in progress still, and he

237
00:13:29,039 --> 00:13:31,519
might struggle with his control, but he's a pretty good

238
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,559
picture well man.

239
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: And if he hurt himself throwing in a particular fashion,

240
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,559
it makes sense that, you know, maybe sego somatic. He

241
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,440
doesn't want it's going to take a while for him

242
00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:52,840
to realize that he's not going to hurt himself again,

243
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,960
you know what I mean. Yeah, it's so his brain

244
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:56,480
says he.

245
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,759
Speaker 1: Hurt himself because of his pitching mechanics, but the doctors

246
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,399
and the pitching doctors have said, no, that's not it.

247
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,320
But he can't get his head over trying to change

248
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,240
his mechanics, which is pretty fascinating. I love those kind

249
00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:13,399
of stories because it just shows the internal struggle of

250
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,159
people to try to come to come over. And that's

251
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,080
really many times the difference between somebody who's excels and

252
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,279
somebody who doesn't.

253
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,279
Speaker 2: Well. Yeah, and it goes back to the old Yogi bearism.

254
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,759
Ninety percent of the game is half mental.

255
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:33,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, always good for for a Yogi bear. So

256
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,600
what about Max Clark? Is this I'm sorry, let's before

257
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:42,159
we do Max Clark so outfield in Saint Louis, Joshua Bias.

258
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:45,720
Let's see he's it's a hold for make sure see

259
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
where he's been playing all season long, and see if

260
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,240
he's played anywhere else. Hold on for a second. Outfield. No,

261
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,960
he's played right, center, and left, so that's good. So

262
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,679
I'll look at So he's not going to replace unless

263
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,679
Jordan Walker gets hurt. So that's not where he's gonna play, right,

264
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,720
So so Jordan Walker is safe. Okay. Yeah, So then

265
00:15:06,759 --> 00:15:13,200
we've got at centerfield Nathan Church he probably could play,

266
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,000
probably could take over that. I don't know if he's

267
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,759
a center fielder though. And then leftfield is Lar's new bar.

268
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:22,879
So the question is can Lar's new bar play center?

269
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,720
And then then Joshua Bias replaced Nathan Church.

270
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,639
Speaker 2: Well, and here's the other option. They've got Brian Torres

271
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:37,519
at DH. He can certainly replace Brian Torres because the

272
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,399
Cards haven't been using him on a regular basis anyways. Yeah,

273
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:47,879
so there there's an opportunity there somewhere. Yeah. Yeah, So

274
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:53,759
why aren't the Cards bringing them up? Are they pulling?

275
00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:56,039
Are they going all JJ weatherhole on him?

276
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,879
Speaker 1: Well? I mean, look, I mean organizations are I mean,

277
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,240
they do have patterns, and maybe this is just what

278
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:04,240
they've decided to do.

279
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,759
Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, because right now, if you you know that

280
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,399
they're in they're in four spot, okay, in the and

281
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:16,399
A Central, but they're only a game under five hundred.

282
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,399
They're half a game back of the Pirates. They're not

283
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,799
going to catch either Milwaukee or the Cubs, but there

284
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,840
is a wild card spot sitting there for them right now.

285
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,759
You know what I mean? They're the Hey you look

286
00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:33,480
at Miami's five hundred, Washington's five hundred, the Pirates are

287
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:37,399
five hundred. San Diego is a game over five hundred.

288
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:40,440
There's about five teams battling for wild card positions and

289
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,159
the Cards are one of them. So why not why

290
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,960
not get this kid up and see what you can do?

291
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:50,720
Because if you look at the cards lineup, Okay, is

292
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,720
there a lot of power there? Yeah, with Walker and

293
00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:57,639
maybe Burleson, but nowt bar and win and tours and

294
00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:00,399
Blaze Blaze Jordan. I' like what he's doing, but there's

295
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,759
no power. Nathan Church. You know they need a.

296
00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: Weird one because Blake Jordan, when he was originally signed

297
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,000
as a high school kid, this is a guy that

298
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:11,920
was mister home Ron Derby. He would be out there

299
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,839
swinging as hard as he possibly could and hit moonshots,

300
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,240
and then he became a contact guy because the Red

301
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:19,200
Sox said, hey, we want you to make better contact

302
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,480
than he's. He lost the ability to hit home runs,

303
00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:23,480
which is fascinating.

304
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:32,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pulled the exact opposite of Gunzalez in Pittsburgh. Yeah, exactly, exactly, Yeah,

305
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,599
which is sort of cool, but again, it doesn't help

306
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:40,519
Saint Louis when they honestly need a big power bat

307
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:46,960
somewhere hitting three, four five in that lineup, I think they.

308
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: Would benefit from. Uh yeah, bring it up, Joshua Biase.

309
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,640
I think that's that's a no brainer. What about Max Clark?

310
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,440
Does Max Max Clark? I mean, this is this is speed,

311
00:17:56,519 --> 00:18:00,279
This is decent power kind of in that a Juan

312
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,319
type of model whers fifteen home runs and twenty five

313
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,880
stolen bases. He can really really hit. What do you

314
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,400
think of Max Clark?

315
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,799
Speaker 2: I just hope that they're bringing him up now for

316
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,240
the duration. Okay, I'm just hoping that this. You know,

317
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,240
if he doesn't hit for the first week, week and

318
00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:26,759
a half, I hope they don't ship him back, Okay.

319
00:18:28,079 --> 00:18:32,839
Zach McKinstry, We all knew it wasn't the answer. Heavier

320
00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:37,079
bias is in center field. Okay, you got Erling, who

321
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:41,480
can play, you know, against tough lefties. You got James

322
00:18:41,519 --> 00:18:44,480
Outman who will hit the odd home runs, steel the

323
00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:49,799
odd base, but no contact skills whatsoever from Outman. It's

324
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,519
time that they give him a long, long edition. And

325
00:18:54,599 --> 00:18:58,880
you know, basically since he broke out of that funk,

326
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,799
he has been hot as hot as hot can be.

327
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,960
Past seven games, two homers, five RBIs, a stolen base

328
00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:11,519
and then one point five one four obs like, there's

329
00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:13,960
no purpose right now for him being in the minors

330
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:15,839
other than the other than the clock.

331
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: Right, I mean, I'm I'm all little Max Clark, as

332
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,400
you know. I mean, I I think I got him

333
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,720
in three or four dynasty leagues, and I've been acquiring

334
00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:26,119
him as he's had the he's had a tough season.

335
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,599
People think that I've been over ranking him, and maybe

336
00:19:28,599 --> 00:19:31,279
I have, but I think he's one of the few

337
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,720
players in the minor leagues that have truly five tools.

338
00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:37,680
And five tools as a scout knows, is also to

339
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,839
play the fields. This is a great center fielder right,

340
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:43,000
can play both corners. That's what he's got the arm

341
00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:45,160
for that. It's just a great baseball player. Now, is

342
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,960
he going to be a first round draft pick one day? No,

343
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,400
this is this is more of a third round draft

344
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,839
pick and of that Jared duran when Jared Durant used

345
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,559
to be good kind of that model.

346
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I And you know, I'm how old is

347
00:19:58,279 --> 00:19:58,880
Max Clerk?

348
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:05,279
Speaker 1: It's twenty one, right, twenty two? He's twenty one, isn't.

349
00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: He he's twenty He turns twenty two in December?

350
00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's twenty one years old.

351
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's a kid. Yeah, yeah, there's time to

352
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,359
see what the kid can do at the big league level.

353
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,160
If you got any fab left to spend it, Timmy,

354
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,119
let's take at.

355
00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: Let's take a break, come back and uh and work

356
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:38,000
on these standings and see who's got a chance. Looking

357
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:41,880
for buyers and sellers as we're looking at these uh standings, temps.

358
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:47,160
So let's see. Yeah, so leading, we've got Tampa Bay

359
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,200
if the if the if the season we're to end today,

360
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,319
the winner of the East is Tampa Bays. The winner

361
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,720
of the Central it's Chicago White Sox and the Rangers

362
00:20:57,799 --> 00:20:59,880
win the West. Does that stick?

363
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:05,559
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think the I think the Rangers are are

364
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:13,119
going to improve forward. Okay, the team that, but and

365
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,839
you know, hey, it's it's pretty tough to argue against

366
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,440
the White Sox. They've now advanced their lead in the

367
00:21:19,519 --> 00:21:23,759
loss column, their three losses better than Cleveland, only one

368
00:21:23,839 --> 00:21:27,480
win better. There's a couple couple of games they've got

369
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:30,160
to make up yet. But the White Sox are just

370
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,880
plugging away. And Murakami, who was in a dreadful funk

371
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,039
after he came back off the I l well, he

372
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,680
changed that in a hurry this week. Is he invited

373
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,200
his parents to throw out first pitch and catch a game,

374
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:44,519
and he had two home runs in the game and

375
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:46,519
another one I think last night or the night before.

376
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:49,480
I looked like Murakami's out of his slump. So that's

377
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,279
certainly not going to hurt their cause.

378
00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:56,839
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, I just came back a little early.

379
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. When he was knocked and the

380
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:03,039
rust off. Instead of it on a rehab assignment, he

381
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,079
was knocking it off playing every day in Chicago, right.

382
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:14,920
But when I look at the setup, ah, yeah, the

383
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,000
race should win that division. The Yankees with old Aaron

384
00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:20,720
Judge are not the same Yankee team.

385
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've lost Cody Bellinger now too, is that just Yeah,

386
00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:26,640
they just don't have enough firepower to go with that

387
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,359
great pitching.

388
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ben Rice will only carry them so far.

389
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. I mean he's and as good as

390
00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:36,200
Ben Rice as he still know Aaron Judge, right, I mean,

391
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,599
that's that's their team as Aaron Judge. And I think

392
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,960
we're seeing when they don't have Aaron Judge that it's

393
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,480
definitely a flaw team.

394
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: Well, and you know, the way Boston is playing, I

395
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,920
wouldn't be shocked if Boston catches and passes the Yankees.

396
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Boston has hit a bit of a tailspan

397
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,559
after I mean, there's still seventy three over the last ten.

398
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,559
So they won two in a row, but I mean

399
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:04,599
obviously they won was a thirteen in a row or

400
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,519
something like that. Yeah, so they're only three three games back.

401
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:11,240
So in the wild Cards the Yankees Red Sox in Cleveland.

402
00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:14,000
But this is where it gets interesting. The Twins are

403
00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:16,400
still only one game out. They're five hundred. The Houston

404
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,400
Astros now after going eight and two or only one

405
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,160
game out. The Orioles are two and a half games out.

406
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:25,480
The Mariners with that great pitching are three games out

407
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,079
and then the Tigers for I mean, like, who where

408
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:31,319
does the line I'm looking at the Tigers for it

409
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:35,519
is that where the line of sellers begins and goes

410
00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:40,119
down and the Mariners Orioles, Astros Twins are all buyers.

411
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,559
Speaker 2: Well, the Twins aren't going to be buyers because their

412
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,160
owners won't give them any money to buy with. Right,

413
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:51,200
And I don't know how the Twins are doing it. Hey,

414
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:57,599
I salute them. The huge disappointment for me is Seattle. Okay. Now,

415
00:23:57,599 --> 00:24:01,960
we talk all the time about their great rotation, but

416
00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:05,880
if you start taking a look at it, George Kirby

417
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,079
has been so so. Brian Wu is, Era's closer to

418
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,519
five than it is four right now? Okay, Yeah, they've

419
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:22,440
got some They've got decent mileage from uh yeah, Hancock. Okay,

420
00:24:22,519 --> 00:24:25,240
but now they're looking at moving. Yeah. You know who's

421
00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:29,119
other than Logan Gilbert, who has been pretty consistent all

422
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,960
year that that rotation has been very disappointing. Wu. Like

423
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:37,720
I said, Era's up there, Castillo had an incredibly rough spell.

424
00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:44,720
He's been pitching better lately. Kirby has been okay, you know,

425
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,960
Miller is He's always heard and when he's not, he's

426
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,599
been you know, you know who the number.

427
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:55,759
Speaker 1: That's not fair. I mean probably he got beat up

428
00:24:55,799 --> 00:24:57,759
the last time out, but he's been very good.

429
00:24:58,599 --> 00:25:02,319
Speaker 2: Who's that Bryce Miller? Grace Miller and I have to

430
00:25:02,599 --> 00:25:04,920
I have to pull him up and see whether But

431
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:05,799
I think I.

432
00:25:05,799 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: Was with you on your rant until you beat up

433
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,160
on Bryce Miller. Let's take a look. Bryce Miller's a

434
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,680
two seventy five ear a, nine point three strikeouts for

435
00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:17,200
nine to one point four wolves. Come on, tim, Okay,

436
00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:18,200
he went too far.

437
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,519
Speaker 2: Right, He's only thrown sixty eight innings. Give him time,

438
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:24,920
he owes regress.

439
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: It's very fair that he has not been able to

440
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,400
stay healthy. Twenty twenty four pitched, you know, had thirty

441
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,880
one starts. But last year hurt, this year again hurt too.

442
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:34,920
That's a fair point.

443
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,759
Speaker 2: Well, I think the second best picture in the Mariner's rotation.

444
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,599
Speaker 1: And his k I'm sorry, double a not even a

445
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:46,039
triple a.

446
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:51,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, come on. The Mariners to

447
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,279
me right now have been one of the biggest disappointments

448
00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:02,720
this season. Not Craig quite Toronto Blue Jay disappointing, but

449
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:06,640
not far off. With a rotation like that they should

450
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,519
be better than three games under five hundred.

451
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. I totally agree. And part

452
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,599
of the problem is, though, I mean, who were you

453
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,119
going to take out? Who are you going to sit?

454
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:17,720
I mean maybe Brian would because it's been But those

455
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,839
are tough calls, right because those guys aren't hurt, they're

456
00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:22,680
just underperforming. Do you move into the bullpen? You can't

457
00:26:22,759 --> 00:26:25,200
demote some of those guys because they've got too many

458
00:26:25,319 --> 00:26:28,680
Uh yeah, their options are all gone, so I thought

459
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,920
Blue probably has an option left. But that's where the

460
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,519
problem gets and that's why you got to move some

461
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,440
of them.

462
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, exactly, move them. Improve your offense, get Anderson

463
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:45,720
and slowan. Slowing up your team is better. It makes it. Yeah,

464
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,799
it's a tough decision, but you know what gms get

465
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:52,400
paid to make tough decisions, like make a decision would

466
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,119
be you know, Yeah, the Mariners are three and seven

467
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:02,279
in the past ten. That's you. Yeah, that's not good.

468
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,920
There's a change, there's a I think there's there's a

469
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,359
decent chance if they don't make some moves, they're going

470
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,480
to finish under five hundred and not be not make

471
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:12,599
the playoff. Derby.

472
00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:18,599
Speaker 1: I think you're right, and I think it's almost guaranteed

473
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,839
that Kate Anderson is coming up. But that's what they

474
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,720
want to do. I think that's what they're gonna They're

475
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,599
gonna sort it out over the next What is we

476
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,240
got four days? Over the next four days, Kate Anderson

477
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,720
will be up next week to start a game.

478
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 2: I would think that's a safe if he's not then

479
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,519
prepared to see a new GM in Seattle in the

480
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:42,000
next two weeks. How does that sounding?

481
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well maybe over the off season. At some point

482
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,319
you got to call a spade of Spain and say,

483
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:50,960
what are you doing? You've got all this talent, why

484
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,720
are you leveraging it better? And I think if I'm

485
00:27:53,759 --> 00:27:55,799
the owner of the team and I see what Kate

486
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,240
Anderson is doing in the minor leagues, going like like

487
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,119
what you doing here? This guy could be Paul Skeans,

488
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:03,039
what are you doing?

489
00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:06,279
Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, do we want to make the playoffs or

490
00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:12,400
do we don't? And yeah, their team is too good

491
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,920
to be They're not too good there. They should be

492
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:21,599
too good to have that record, but they're they're pitching

493
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,000
just hasn't hasn't been getting done and getting it done.

494
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,599
Speaker 1: Okay, So so the so the Rains are gonna win

495
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,799
the East, right, the White Socks are going to win

496
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:36,319
the Central, correct Rangers and Houston are essentially tied. Who's

497
00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:38,599
gonna win the Who's gonna win the West?

498
00:28:39,079 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: The Rangers?

499
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: Okay, So the wild card is if the season we're

500
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,000
over today, the Yankees, Red Sox and Guardians, who are

501
00:28:48,039 --> 00:28:51,839
your wild card participants?

502
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:54,319
Speaker 2: I can go with that?

503
00:28:56,039 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: Really, So you don't think the Orioles, Houston, Twins, Seattle

504
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:01,680
are gonna sneak in.

505
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: The Orioles have to have to crawl by Boston and

506
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:09,200
the Yankees, and I don't think that's gonna happen. So

507
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,680
the Twins just don't have enough talent in my opinion,

508
00:29:13,839 --> 00:29:17,119
to do it. The you know, the Guardians have the pitching,

509
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,400
and I I'd like to say Houston, but again there's

510
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:26,200
there's some holes that need addressing. And even if they

511
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,640
address them, are they much better than what? Are they

512
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,279
to be much better off? I don't know. The Mariners,

513
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:33,200
I think will fumble and stumble and find a way

514
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,400
to it. And I don't think it's going to come.

515
00:29:35,319 --> 00:29:38,559
Speaker 1: Down who who the Astros can can acquire and who

516
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,039
to Cleveland. That seems to be the battle then for

517
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,119
that last slot, and the twins still hanging in there.

518
00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:47,839
So we'll say the Orioles. I'm with you. I mean

519
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,359
it's I mean, they're talking. I mean it looks like

520
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,759
I think Rutcherd's definitely gonna get moved. And I mean

521
00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:58,359
I heard Jackson holiday we'll get traded. I mean, how

522
00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:00,559
can you do that? I mean that can guy's been

523
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,000
hot as hot could be over the last couple of weeks,

524
00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:05,519
and you take a look at you take a look

525
00:30:05,519 --> 00:30:08,880
at the data about the it's all there. It's a city.

526
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,400
It just needs to stay healthy. And it's so forst

527
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,920
year he's ever actually been hurt. He's still a baby

528
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,400
to me. He's not very old at all.

529
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: Was he twenty twenty two? Yeah, twenty two turns twenty

530
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,160
three later in the year. Yeah.

531
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, So he's a year older than Max Clark, and

532
00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:26,519
he's got two plus years of MLP experience. I mean,

533
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:28,559
little too early.

534
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody's given up on him. Yeah give it twenty two. Yeah,

535
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,319
I'm a twenty two year old kid. Yeah, I know

536
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:39,799
he'll be a target of mine again next year.

537
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: I totally agree with let's take a look at his

538
00:30:43,799 --> 00:30:50,720
at his U Baseball Savant page. Let's see. Uh so

539
00:30:50,839 --> 00:30:53,519
his ex velocity is down this season, partially because he

540
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,359
was perfect. It was eighty eighty nine last year. There's

541
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,880
no leverage. If he adds a little bit of leverage,

542
00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:03,240
going to see the power come up. Sprint speeds set

543
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:06,759
seventy nine percenttol So, he's got speed. It's a very

544
00:31:06,759 --> 00:31:09,440
good hitter. Never expands the strike zone, walks a ton,

545
00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:11,680
strikes out a little bit too much, but that's probably

546
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,640
just youth. But I mean, it's it's just all sitting here.

547
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,680
This is a guy that's going to be a fifteen

548
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,799
to fifteen kid, maybe more twenty twenty. If you can

549
00:31:20,079 --> 00:31:21,759
it can hit, it's going to be the player.

550
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know when you start looking at the

551
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,440
at the Orioles. Okay, the bullpen is a bit of

552
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,519
a mess. Okay, it's functional, but it's a bit of

553
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:36,119
a mess. But you look at the starting pitching, Okay,

554
00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:38,960
ither than Kyle brady'sh Okay, you got Dean Kramer, you

555
00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:42,160
got Rogers, you got Young, you got Bess. They should

556
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,960
be selling Trevor Rodgers at the deadline. Enough of this

557
00:31:46,119 --> 00:31:49,480
talk about winding her up and going for it. I

558
00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:51,960
don't think there. I don't think they're in a situation

559
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,799
where they can go for it. Realistically, they should take

560
00:31:55,279 --> 00:31:59,200
rogers is heading into free agency, move to Trevor Rodgers,

561
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,680
and get a a boot full of the prospects, a

562
00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:07,359
lefty like Rogers in command, solid a solid return, you

563
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,400
would think at the deadline, and then find a find

564
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,559
find some pitching in the offseason, over pay for it,

565
00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:16,640
but get it, and then you're back in the hunt

566
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,440
again in twenty seven, right.

567
00:32:20,359 --> 00:32:24,079
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, part of my problem with the Orioles

568
00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:28,200
is because I watch a lot of their games. They

569
00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:32,200
they just these prospects when they came up, looked like

570
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,799
some of the best players we've seen in a long time,

571
00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:38,680
particularly when you looked at them all in one team

572
00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:41,720
and got a Henderson's been very, very good this season,

573
00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:43,839
but he's not been the superstar. He's not been the

574
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,599
Bobby with Junior that I know I predicted. A lot

575
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,559
of people thought he was going to be top three

576
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,400
shortstop in the game. He's just not that guy athlete.

577
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,759
Rutchman's been very good, been hurt a lot, he hasn't

578
00:32:56,799 --> 00:33:00,440
taken it to the next Australian Kobe Mayo's showing some power. Fine,

579
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,640
he's got he's got platoon splits to me, and it's

580
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,480
not good. It's it's he's a weak side. He's going

581
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:08,799
to be a weak side platoon hit or if he's

582
00:33:08,839 --> 00:33:13,079
not care if he's not careful, and then jerks Dad

583
00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:16,839
never developed Cowsers hitting below too. Twenties on that now

584
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,359
for two and a half years. These are all guys

585
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:23,359
that we thought were going to turn into potentially stars

586
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,720
and they just haven't except for Gunner Henderson.

587
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,079
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and some of them have after they've been moved,

588
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,599
Like Kyle Stowers is a fine player. Yeah, yeah, you

589
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,559
know he's he's up to fifteen home runs now this

590
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,640
year and three hundred and seventeen at bats. He's going

591
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,680
to be a twenty five eighty type player, I think, yep.

592
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,119
For a number of years moving.

593
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,559
Speaker 1: So that's a full time on it. It's a full

594
00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,640
time ring. The very good player. Dylan Biever's a full

595
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:53,359
time player either.

596
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:53,759
Speaker 2: That's up.

597
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:57,039
Speaker 1: Guy's got platoon splits. So they've got all these guys

598
00:33:57,079 --> 00:34:01,000
that were famous and they might have over evaluate it

599
00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:05,119
what their full upside was going to be and maybe

600
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,199
move the wrong guys want being Kyl Stower. So it's

601
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,400
very very interesting what's happening in Baltimore.

602
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,639
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they Why would they want to move Holiday

603
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,639
right now to watch them blossom and grow into an

604
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,880
average to above average player on another team. Yeah, that

605
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,800
makes no sense to me as a twenty two year old.

606
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,039
They should be holding on to him and waiting to

607
00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:29,159
see what the future brings, because you're not going to

608
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:34,840
get for him right now. What the upside potential is

609
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,000
a year down the road? Are you now?

610
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:41,199
Speaker 1: You're not. And the part of the problem is that

611
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,440
they they, I mean, Cowser really has very little value.

612
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,119
I mean somebody will probably taken, but I mean because

613
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:51,000
he is controllable guy Kobe Mayo's at the same everybody

614
00:34:51,079 --> 00:34:53,920
wants Jackson Holiday, so there's a lot of value there.

615
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,519
But do you want to move him? I don't know

616
00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:57,360
if that makes sense.

617
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 2: I don't think it does. Yeah, but hey, yeah, so

618
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,039
I don't know. I think with what the oriel should

619
00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:11,199
do is move move Rogers as much as you can

620
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:16,599
for him, and we don't fix some of the other holes.

621
00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: He's a free agent at the end of the season

622
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,519
as well. But I mean you're not gonna be bradish. No,

623
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,519
you're not gonna move Shane Bobs. You've signed him to

624
00:35:24,519 --> 00:35:26,599
a long term contract. So I mean, those are your

625
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,480
two guys at the top of my buddy Cat Hunter

626
00:35:30,039 --> 00:35:34,000
had another great outing now moved up to double A.

627
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:36,039
Did he pitching double A? I can't remember anyway, So

628
00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:39,440
that's an interesting guy. I mean, Trey Gibson's not a

629
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,079
that's probably back of the rotation guys. So they still

630
00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:42,840
need more pitching.

631
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do, but they can't. They're gonna have a

632
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,679
hard time fixing it now.

633
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree. It doesn't make sense for them

634
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,360
to trade for Freddy Parolta. You know, no, no, no reason.

635
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,320
Jackson holiday for Freddy Parolta makes no sense.

636
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: So it makes it makes total sense if you're in

637
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,599
New York Mets for sure, Yeah, for sure.

638
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,079
Speaker 1: Let's quickly look at the National League. I think the

639
00:36:08,119 --> 00:36:11,880
Dodgers are in firm controlled or up by a lot

640
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,800
the Brewers, or if the season end, they would win

641
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,440
the Central. The White Sox and excuse the Cops are

642
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,199
five games behind them, and then the Atlanta Braves stumbling

643
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,880
a little bit against the Mets recently. They are twenty games,

644
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,639
about nineteen games above five hundred, and they are firmly

645
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,800
in control their seven games up so the season and

646
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,199
end it's the Dodgers, Brewers, and the Braves. How do

647
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,000
you see that ending?

648
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:44,039
Speaker 2: The only team that I think with a good charge

649
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:46,519
that could catch the Braves might be the Phillies. The

650
00:36:46,559 --> 00:36:49,760
others I think are carved and stolen, and Philly has

651
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,079
been gone to and eight in the past ten I

652
00:36:53,079 --> 00:36:53,519
don't think.

653
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: The Phillies have been very good this season. They're a

654
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,719
minus fifteen. Differentially with that offense, they just have sputtered

655
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,840
a lot. The good pitching has been shutting them down.

656
00:37:03,559 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has ay. They need a bat They probably

657
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,639
need a bullpen arm. Maybe maybe they'll get them. I

658
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,559
don't know. They could use another starting pitcher, you know,

659
00:37:16,599 --> 00:37:19,159
if they have to. They're their number four guy doesn't

660
00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:20,079
exist yet, does he?

661
00:37:21,519 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: Now? The painter's been a real disappointment there.

662
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:30,039
Speaker 2: Nola's I mean, Nola's done. It's done. Yeah, yeah, it's yeah,

663
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:35,760
So they need a picture. I I can't see anybody

664
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,920
other than Philly makes some moves. Because Atlanta hasn't been

665
00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:44,559
playing overly great as well. They've turned it around a

666
00:37:44,559 --> 00:37:46,440
little bit. They were in sort of pre fall for

667
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,400
a while. Uh, they've turned it around a bit. Now

668
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,719
I'm gonna go with Atlanta, Milwaukee and the Dodgers as

669
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,559
the Yeah, they're gonna win the division.

670
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,039
Speaker 1: Cops look like they're in firm control of the season.

671
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,440
In today, they'd be the walk card. The Diamondbacks fits

672
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,400
are there, but then the Padres are not out of

673
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,119
it yet. We keep hearing rumors they're going to be

674
00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:07,920
trading Mason Miller, which I would have never brought in

675
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,360
Mason Miller for Leo DeFries. But that's just me. Pittsburgh pirates,

676
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:15,320
they say they're going to be buyers, Simmy, who knows.

677
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,280
The Marlins and the Nationals, they're all not there. The

678
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,719
Cardinals are only three games out. How do you see

679
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,360
the Wildcard playing out?

680
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:34,119
Speaker 2: I think it's I think the Cubs Arizona and it's

681
00:38:34,159 --> 00:38:39,280
such a log jam. I have no idea other than

682
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,880
the fact that A. J. Preller is still running the Padres,

683
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,920
so you can never write you know, you can never

684
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,679
write off him making moves to try and improve the team.

685
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,559
I just yeah, Saint louis their best minor league Bad

686
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:56,199
is still in the minors and they're a five hundred team.

687
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,239
One game under five hundred. The Pirates aren't going to

688
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:05,000
spend any much. Like, come on, if Washington you get

689
00:39:05,039 --> 00:39:09,760
a pitcher Miami, it's just a total logjam.

690
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,519
Speaker 1: Washington's got plenty of depth in the minor leagues of

691
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:15,360
trade front, by the way, they could get anybody they want.

692
00:39:15,519 --> 00:39:19,639
That's a really, really strong minor league system. Yeah.

693
00:39:19,679 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 2: I look at all of those teams, and I don't

694
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,079
think they can address enough of their flaws. Like you

695
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:34,880
got San Diego, Saint Louis, Pittsburgh, Washington, and Miami all

696
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,800
jockeying for one position. All five of those teams I

697
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,920
just listed, I think it's five are all five hundred teams.

698
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,239
Why if you're one of those five teams, the smartest

699
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,719
move of those five would be Saint Louis bringing up

700
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,599
their young talent because it doesn't cost them anything to

701
00:39:51,679 --> 00:39:54,239
do it right. They don't give anything up to make

702
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,840
those moves. Do the other teams have a minor league

703
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:04,679
system capable of wishing them over the hump? I I don't.

704
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: Know, but let me let me riddle you this, mister McLeod.

705
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,280
The Western Nationals they need, they need pitching in a

706
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,440
desperate way. And the Seattle Mariners have a lot of pitching.

707
00:40:18,639 --> 00:40:20,800
We already talked about some of it's not so good,

708
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,719
but they have a lot of pitching and they need offense.

709
00:40:25,639 --> 00:40:29,320
What about a marriage between the two and like a

710
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:34,880
Lewis Garcia junior for an Emerson Hancock or maybe a

711
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,079
Brian Wu. I mean, somebody's got some upside that's also

712
00:40:38,159 --> 00:40:39,800
got a couple of years you have to worry about

713
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:45,199
free agency that Kirby. I mean, somebody that's got a

714
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,760
pedigree that would immediately be top of the rotation. I

715
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,239
mean looking at Cake Avealing exactly. I mean they just

716
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,840
don't have any pitching with Foster Griffin. He's there, but

717
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,760
you think he's going to get moved because he's he's

718
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:58,360
a free agent.

719
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah yah, they're selling on Griffin.

720
00:41:04,199 --> 00:41:07,679
Speaker 1: So I would think like a controllable starter for a

721
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,360
bat makes a lot of sense to me for the

722
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,000
Washington Nationals kind of what the Orioles did last year

723
00:41:13,039 --> 00:41:16,199
with Shane Bose. They didn't work so well because it's

724
00:41:16,199 --> 00:41:18,000
just been okay, But that's I think the kind of

725
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:18,920
deal they need to make.

726
00:41:20,199 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes total sense because the Bats in Washington,

727
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,840
the big bets or other. I think Abrams has got

728
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,000
a couple of years, but Woods has got what like four?

729
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,760
You know, the core of.

730
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: Can't you can't trade Wood?

731
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:40,199
Speaker 2: I just can't, no, no, But I mean I was

732
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,199
just sort of inferring the core of Washington's offense, you know,

733
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,320
Wood crews, whatever, however you want to shake it down,

734
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,480
it's going to be around for a while. But they pitching, Yeah,

735
00:41:52,639 --> 00:41:56,400
they need another pitcher. Yeah, it makes total sense for

736
00:41:56,519 --> 00:41:58,280
both this year and for next year.

737
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: And I don't think that the Nationals want to give

738
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,159
up on cruise. I think he would. He could land

739
00:42:03,199 --> 00:42:06,639
them a ton, right, because that mean twenty four year

740
00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:09,159
old kid that's still got a ton of upside, you know.

741
00:42:09,519 --> 00:42:12,679
They're So let's now look at the Mets and then

742
00:42:12,679 --> 00:42:14,840
we'll take a break and get on the other stuff.

743
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,880
So I'm going, who are the Mets going to keep?

744
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,599
That's what We're going to look at it and do

745
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:22,039
it a little differently. So I'm just going to go

746
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:22,840
through their lineup.

747
00:42:23,199 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 2: You tell me easier to do it, It's easier, easier

748
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:26,559
to do it that way.

749
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: That's right, That's right. You tell me trade or keep?

750
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:31,679
This is easy?

751
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,159
Speaker 2: A j ewing you're going to keep them, keep keep

752
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:34,920
keep keeping.

753
00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor. I'm gonna answer for you. I'm gonna say

754
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,960
they're going to try to trade him. The question then

755
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,400
I have for you is will he be traded or

756
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:43,159
will they keep him?

757
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:50,119
Speaker 2: Uh? Oh, they're going to try. For sure.

758
00:42:50,159 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: They're going to try, that's for sure.

759
00:42:53,599 --> 00:42:56,039
Speaker 2: He's got lots of money in New York. They'll find

760
00:42:56,039 --> 00:42:58,199
a way to move them. They'll eat some salary, they'll

761
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,159
do what they have to do.

762
00:42:59,639 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: He might be an interesting guy to move to, uh Seattle.

763
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,599
Speaker 2: Well, then it takes one of the kids out of play,

764
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:11,519
doesn't it. Do they want to do that?

765
00:43:12,519 --> 00:43:15,039
Speaker 1: Well, they moved Francisco Lindor, and then they that's true.

766
00:43:15,079 --> 00:43:17,440
Then they yeah, they guess they don't need pitching, but

767
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:22,199
we always need pitching. So yeah, okay, looks like a

768
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,559
two carried away Boba Schett. I know they want to

769
00:43:24,599 --> 00:43:27,159
trade him. There's absolutely no way they can't.

770
00:43:27,559 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, right now, that even for an owner with

771
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,880
deep as deep a boxes said as the Mets, No,

772
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:37,599
they're stuck with the shed.

773
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: Carson Binge.

774
00:43:40,519 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's there for the long haul. Jared Young, Bye bye.

775
00:43:47,199 --> 00:43:53,400
Jorge Polanco, Yeah, he's actually healthy. Bye bye, Tyrone Taylor.

776
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: I he's been pretty good this season, right and player.

777
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: I think they want to keep Tyrone. I think they'll

778
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,800
trade him, but I don't think they'll be disappointed if

779
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,559
they don't, and they have to keep them because he's

780
00:44:11,599 --> 00:44:16,400
the sort of player that he will he'll produce. He's

781
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:21,519
not an everyday player. But yeah, yeah, I think they

782
00:44:21,519 --> 00:44:23,400
could keep him and they'd be okay with that.

783
00:44:24,039 --> 00:44:28,679
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, hold for a second, Timmy doing something real

784
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:34,199
quick here, let's see, and next would be uh Brett Batty.

785
00:44:34,559 --> 00:44:35,559
I know they'd like to trade him.

786
00:44:35,679 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: I think he's untradeable, right yeah. Yeah.

787
00:44:40,519 --> 00:44:44,599
Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez is interesting because everybody's everybody's all their catchers

788
00:44:44,639 --> 00:44:47,559
are hurt. That's an interesting guy, right yeah.

789
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 2: I I think if they got the right deal, they'd

790
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,800
move him. But I don't know if they will get

791
00:44:54,840 --> 00:45:01,519
the right deal. As far as the rooster, Marcus Semeon

792
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:03,760
bye Bude.

793
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 1: If anybody wants him, I think he's just going to

794
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,159
be a bag of balls. And then probably the worst

795
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,360
I mean, I take I think Bobashek probably the worst

796
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,760
signing here. Forty two million dollars for that guy was ridiculous.

797
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,159
We all knew that when they signed him. And he's

798
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:22,320
got of hopped out clause. I mean, that's the easiest

799
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,199
call of easy calls. There's no way he's on that.

800
00:45:27,559 --> 00:45:31,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, Yeah, the odds of me winning power Ball

801
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,639
back to back are better than the odds of him out.

802
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: And the second, the second worst deal is Lewis Roberts

803
00:45:39,679 --> 00:45:42,840
that has just not worked out. There's kind of stuck

804
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,440
with him at the moment. He is a shell of himself.

805
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,199
We all thought maybe it was the White Sox that

806
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,599
were you know, he was unmotivated as soon as he

807
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,360
left the White Sox. I mean, what did the White

808
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:54,920
Sox do? They turned it on.

809
00:45:56,079 --> 00:45:59,119
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know what's interesting though, and it's a

810
00:45:59,159 --> 00:46:04,039
real pause when you look at Robert. Okay, he might

811
00:46:04,119 --> 00:46:07,599
only have you know, an ops in the past seven

812
00:46:07,679 --> 00:46:11,400
days of five eighty nine, but that's higher than it

813
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:14,440
was over fourteen and twenty days. So we're seeing improvement

814
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,639
from Robert. I just don't know what a five eighty

815
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,599
nine ops if the market is yeah, they're going to

816
00:46:21,639 --> 00:46:22,480
have to get rid of them.

817
00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: Basically, you're going to try to.

818
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 2: Give them, yeah, try and give them away all right.

819
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: Let's look at the starting Pitchingel McClean staying Freddy Pralta,

820
00:46:30,519 --> 00:46:31,280
that's an easy one.

821
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: Bye bye bye bye, Zach Thornton staying twenty four year

822
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:37,519
old lefty.

823
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:42,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sep, that's actually been very good to Sean Andyah,

824
00:46:42,559 --> 00:46:46,400
bye bye, Christian Scott. He's got to stay, right, he's

825
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:47,519
only barely.

826
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,119
Speaker 2: Got to stay. Yeah, yeah, twenty seven. Yeah.

827
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: And I think the entire bullpen is up for being moved.

828
00:46:58,039 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 2: I would I would agree with you there. I'd be

829
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,599
shocked if Williams isn't moved, even though he's got a

830
00:47:05,639 --> 00:47:09,239
really funky contract. I think they're I think they'll move him.

831
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,159
They'll have to eat some money because he's got ten

832
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,760
years of deferred one point five. He's got fifteen million

833
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,880
in deferred money. They might have to eat that deferred money.

834
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,920
But I I can't see them going into next year

835
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:30,039
with Williams and Weaver. No, yeah, no, I think.

836
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: That they're just saying pick anybody you want. And I

837
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:36,239
think the uh I think the Mets are going to

838
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,280
get just demolished. I think you're gonna see a lot

839
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,880
of kids get called up and on Sunday. To me,

840
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,119
that's your homework for the next two days. You're gonna

841
00:47:44,119 --> 00:47:46,679
tell me who we should be targeting to get called up.

842
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be nice if the teams could cooperate

843
00:47:50,599 --> 00:47:54,960
and actually make some deals, like, hey, we're talking aj

844
00:47:55,159 --> 00:47:58,039
Minter is the as at the top of the food

845
00:47:58,119 --> 00:48:00,480
chain for deals in the past couple of days. No,

846
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,679
that's that's not gonna that's not going to get it done.

847
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,039
Speaker 1: Well again, I think I think Ken Rosenthal was right.

848
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,880
There's a lot of American League teams that know their

849
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,679
cheam's not very good, but they're still in it. That's

850
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:16,280
a tough call. And the heartbreaking loss for the Tigers

851
00:48:16,639 --> 00:48:19,119
on Wednesday night, they think against the Orioles where they

852
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,079
had the seven zero lead and they lost. That was

853
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,840
that was it? That was that was the nail and

854
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:25,440
the coffin.

855
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, There's there's been some really really bad performances

856
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,679
this week by bullpens. We've seen starters take big leads,

857
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,480
laid into games and come out of it with none.

858
00:48:38,679 --> 00:48:42,440
Brandon Fat Arizona, Brandon Fat pitched a gym seven innings,

859
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:48,679
didn't allow an earned run, okay, and the bullpen coughed it,

860
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:53,119
oh coughed it up. It's terrible. You shouldn't be blowing

861
00:48:53,199 --> 00:48:57,519
leads that late in both the game and the season.

862
00:48:57,599 --> 00:48:59,639
If you want to pretend to be a playoff team,

863
00:49:00,199 --> 00:49:03,159
that should. That's that should. Now, that's why I think

864
00:49:03,559 --> 00:49:07,239
Devin Williams is definitely on the move. Somebody's gonna pay

865
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,559
for Devin Williams. He's been pitching fairly good lately if

866
00:49:09,559 --> 00:49:14,280
I'm not mistaken, right, So yeah, I'd be shocked if

867
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,960
he's not moved.

868
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,679
Speaker 1: Tem Me, look, let's take a break and got more

869
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,119
stuff for everybody. So, Timmy, can you stand a few

870
00:49:21,159 --> 00:49:21,800
minutes longer?

871
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: Well, let me see one at my baby schedule. I

872
00:49:26,599 --> 00:49:30,119
get that, Ena, I that for fifteen minutes. We're good.

873
00:49:35,679 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: So you lie. There has been some trades. The Curtis

874
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,119
meet for commed Bernie. We you talked about that on Sunday,

875
00:49:41,119 --> 00:49:45,039
Tim That that was that was tough man. Curtis need

876
00:49:45,079 --> 00:49:47,760
on his third at bat, gets hit out for six

877
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,719
to eight weeks, he's pretty much gone for the season.

878
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,119
That was a tough one.

879
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, short turn, that one looks like a lose loose

880
00:49:54,199 --> 00:49:55,480
or the situation.

881
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: We'll see commonly early they think might be pitching soon.

882
00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know what they say better early than late.

883
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: We could also look through the Angels roster and it

884
00:50:07,039 --> 00:50:09,079
looks like they're going to get rid of everybody. This

885
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,880
was a weird one. I wrote about it to our

886
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,079
Patreon members and I was trying to figure it out

887
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,840
and Chase Silsath and Logan Ohopi. At one point, Logan

888
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,679
A Hopi was a top one hundred prospect. It just

889
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,519
has not been very good, but he's still a major

890
00:50:24,599 --> 00:50:28,079
league player. Silsath has been pretty good as a reliever,

891
00:50:28,159 --> 00:50:30,480
and they got back somebody that no one has really

892
00:50:30,519 --> 00:50:35,599
heard of that is Angel Rondo. Uh, and all trying

893
00:50:35,639 --> 00:50:38,280
to figure out, like how could you give up two

894
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,159
major league players they're on a team control and get

895
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,480
back Angel Rondo, which is no one's really hurt of.

896
00:50:48,199 --> 00:50:54,079
Speaker 2: Well, basically I think where it identifies as the current

897
00:50:54,159 --> 00:51:03,519
value of Chase Silva said than Logan o'hapi yeah he yeah, yeah,

898
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,079
you broke down. I went through your breakdown on that

899
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,440
on that deal that I got in my email inbox

900
00:51:10,519 --> 00:51:14,880
because I'm a Patreon member, and I think he nailed it,

901
00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:19,280
like oh Hoppy, which is exbloss he eighty three something

902
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,320
or eighty four sill Seth Will help them in their

903
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:30,239
in their bullpen. Yeah, I I I yeah, I don't

904
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,960
see much of anything short term there. Rather than sil

905
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,880
said I think he's the guy they wanted.

906
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they actually moved Logan o hoppy to triple A.

907
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,840
That kind of tells you how far his star has

908
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,880
gone down. But what happened to Logan o' hoppy. I

909
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,679
mean when I wrote into the analysis, I mean, he

910
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,960
is a shell of himself and it looks like he's hurt.

911
00:51:52,159 --> 00:51:53,199
That's all I can figure.

912
00:51:54,119 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 2: Well, that's that would be that would be my my

913
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:05,599
analysis as well. Yeah, it's yeah, he's twenty six years old. Yeah, yeah,

914
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,440
I remember when you first came up. He had he

915
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,719
had about seven or eight home runs, didn't he in

916
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,920
about fifteen minutes and then hurt himself. And he's never

917
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:16,760
looked the same since, has he? Really?

918
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,159
Speaker 1: His ex of velocity in twenty twenty five was ninety

919
00:52:20,199 --> 00:52:23,440
one miles an hour. It's eighty seven miles an hour this,

920
00:52:23,639 --> 00:52:26,559
I mean, that's just you just don't see that kind

921
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:29,679
of exit loss unless the guy is hurt. He's always

922
00:52:29,679 --> 00:52:32,440
been a terrible defender, so he can't play behind the

923
00:52:33,039 --> 00:52:36,079
behind the plate an so he got that going against him,

924
00:52:36,679 --> 00:52:39,679
and now if he's lost his power, I think he's

925
00:52:39,679 --> 00:52:40,559
going to get dfayed.

926
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 2: I think that's entirely possible. Yeah, yeah, and it sucks.

927
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: And then still south, the analysis there is he's definitely

928
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,880
obviously more valuable, but his expected ear ray, it's still

929
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,639
got a fairly interesting gap there. So we'll see. I mean,

930
00:52:58,679 --> 00:53:02,960
it's I guess maybe you're right. The analysis is maybe

931
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,599
both of those guys aren't enough to pull back a

932
00:53:06,679 --> 00:53:09,559
decent but a named prospect.

933
00:53:10,519 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 2: Well, hey, you know what, I think the Angel just

934
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,440
wanted to part company. They found a taker and it's done.

935
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,000
And long term I don't think. I think there might

936
00:53:22,039 --> 00:53:26,000
be nothing long term in this deal. Short term maybe,

937
00:53:26,039 --> 00:53:28,960
so Susic can help out that bull, then I think

938
00:53:29,639 --> 00:53:30,199
I think he can.

939
00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: I think definitely think he can. So we'll see. They

940
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,719
the Rangers need to do more, for sure.

941
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,039
Speaker 2: Yes they do. They definitely do.

942
00:53:39,079 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 1: Uh, the more players in the eye olt, do you

943
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,960
have anybody Casey Schmidt was a brutal one, particularly from

944
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,079
Amant through the leagues, and it just just that was

945
00:53:47,079 --> 00:53:49,599
a guy got off the waiver water. It was my impact.

946
00:53:52,559 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's that sucks. And yeah, Bucks, then the

947
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,079
only thing. The only hope I see in the bucks

948
00:53:59,159 --> 00:54:02,559
and situation is call up Walker Jenkins. I don't see

949
00:54:02,599 --> 00:54:05,079
anything else worth looking at in Buxton. As far as

950
00:54:05,119 --> 00:54:09,719
Casey Casey Schmid is concerned, Matt Chapman's supposed to be

951
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:13,800
back this weekend. Christian cost is not the answer. It's

952
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:19,360
just a wait until Chapman comes back. Situation and Vinnie P.

953
00:54:20,519 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: Brutal season.

954
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what they've what they've done with Vinnie P

955
00:54:25,079 --> 00:54:31,039
is they've moved Salparez to first base. Okay, uh, Jensen's

956
00:54:31,079 --> 00:54:34,639
gonna get most of the catching at bets, Perez is

957
00:54:34,679 --> 00:54:37,320
gonna play first base. There's nobody at full a slot

958
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,079
in the high minors in Kansas City, So I think

959
00:54:40,079 --> 00:54:42,440
it's just a case of they're going to shuffle a

960
00:54:42,519 --> 00:54:44,920
deck internally in Pez they'll get most of the first

961
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:49,280
base at bats. And yeah, it is sort of what

962
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,320
it is. There is nobody there of interest to replace

963
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,440
Vinnie P. Unless Salparez is on your waiverwear and I

964
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,360
don't even know if you want Salpaerez the way he's

965
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,480
been playing, he's been playing better, but nutsal forres.

966
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: Vinnie P will be on my target list for next season.

967
00:55:05,559 --> 00:55:09,880
This is a guy even through his his injuries, it's

968
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,599
still hitting the x M Moossy of eighty nine miles

969
00:55:12,639 --> 00:55:15,719
an hour, huge leverage. I think the last year it

970
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,480
was ninety one. I think he can repeat that. It's

971
00:55:18,519 --> 00:55:22,159
making good contact at eighteen percent. He walks a little bit,

972
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,760
there's no speed, but the thirty two home runs he

973
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,039
hit up last season, I think you could do twenty

974
00:55:27,039 --> 00:55:29,599
if you tell me twenty five home runs from Vinnie

975
00:55:29,639 --> 00:55:32,679
P with a you know, a two forty two fifty

976
00:55:32,679 --> 00:55:34,960
batting average, maybe a little bit more. I think that's

977
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,719
the player. And I'll take that as a late first

978
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,559
round of a late first baseman.

979
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:46,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will as well. The only thing that might

980
00:55:46,559 --> 00:55:48,920
stop me is everybody thinking the same way, and it

981
00:55:49,039 --> 00:55:51,840
eventually drives his price up to where it is too high.

982
00:55:52,199 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

983
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,199
Speaker 2: No, I don't think you want to overpay for him.

984
00:55:57,199 --> 00:55:59,400
And I guess my question is, right now, how many

985
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,519
people are saying, Hey, Vinnie P Is going to be

986
00:56:01,559 --> 00:56:04,280
on my team next year? Well, guess what, there's fourteen

987
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,719
other teams in your reader AFT league. If they're all

988
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,360
thinking the same way, Vinnie P Is going to start

989
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,559
moving up board simply because of the pressures put on

990
00:56:12,679 --> 00:56:15,480
it with everybody saying he's going to bounce back.

991
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: So you're telling me I'm stating the obvious. I'm stating

992
00:56:19,519 --> 00:56:24,519
the obvious. The Dodgers are acquiring Trek Scooble. That's what

993
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:25,199
I just pulled.

994
00:56:26,639 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 2: Okay, more or less? Yeah, let's go with that, okay.

995
00:56:32,559 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: Rich, mister obvious. So one thing that I thought was

996
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:41,079
actually kind of interesting. You don't typically hear managers come

997
00:56:41,119 --> 00:56:43,639
out and say, yeah, we're moving so and so out

998
00:56:43,639 --> 00:56:46,760
of the closer gig, and that's exactly what Tory Leavell

999
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:52,400
said on Wednesday. So who gets the save opportunities in Arizona?

1000
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 2: Well? Can I Can I pimp the Discord site for

1001
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:57,199
a second here? Rich?

1002
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: Of course?

1003
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, the question came up what's going to happen

1004
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,199
in in Arizona on the Discord site and there was

1005
00:57:05,199 --> 00:57:07,920
a fair bit of banter. So I chipped in and

1006
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,599
here are here are my thoughts that I put into

1007
00:57:11,599 --> 00:57:16,960
the Discord site. And I started, like my my thought

1008
00:57:17,039 --> 00:57:20,800
process here. But I always do until it's wrong my analysis.

1009
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: That's very well played.

1010
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,599
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you? Uh. Tory Levello shared his thoughts in

1011
00:57:27,639 --> 00:57:31,400
the postgame pressor. This is a quote. Rather than settling

1012
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,119
on a designated closer, Levello indicated plans to play the

1013
00:57:35,119 --> 00:57:39,000
matchups in the ninth inning, so the left handed Garcia

1014
00:57:39,119 --> 00:57:43,239
may be deployed primarily against left handed heavy portions of

1015
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:47,880
the line up late in games. Lavello mentioned Jonathan Loizaga

1016
00:57:49,719 --> 00:57:53,079
as another Yeah, him too as another picture who might

1017
00:57:53,159 --> 00:57:56,440
factor into the late inning picture. And Juan Morello and

1018
00:57:56,559 --> 00:58:00,360
Kevin oh Ginkel could also if.

1019
00:58:00,199 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: You use to put him on the on your waiver war.

1020
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,000
If he appears on the waiver war, I'm the leading him,

1021
00:58:05,039 --> 00:58:06,679
and I'm going to put I deleted.

1022
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so I expanded, I expanded Lovello's statements, and and

1023
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,480
my my assessment is right now, the Diamondbacks have the

1024
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:23,440
grand total of one left handed reliever in their bullpen,

1025
00:58:24,159 --> 00:58:27,960
and that's Brandon Garcia. That's it. That's all or Alrighty's

1026
00:58:28,599 --> 00:58:31,480
not that this guarantees that he gets the work. But

1027
00:58:31,559 --> 00:58:34,000
if I was playing the odds based on what Tory

1028
00:58:34,079 --> 00:58:37,519
Lovello has publicly stated, he's going to get some of

1029
00:58:37,559 --> 00:58:40,880
that work. Okay. The rest looks like a job share

1030
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,719
at this time. For the next while, it's the three

1031
00:58:44,199 --> 00:58:47,920
words we fantasy folk dread hearing will pend by committee.

1032
00:58:48,079 --> 00:58:54,440
My updated ranking for the Closer report will be Garcia, uh,

1033
00:58:54,519 --> 00:58:58,800
mister l and Maurillo in that order, listed as co

1034
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,360
closers Committee. And the guy that I will be targeting

1035
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,159
is Garcia because I think he's going to get the

1036
00:59:06,239 --> 00:59:11,639
bulk of the opportunities as compared to the other three

1037
00:59:11,719 --> 00:59:14,519
guys that's in there. And I took Jinkle off. Actually,

1038
00:59:14,679 --> 00:59:17,400
I know people are high on Morea and I like

1039
00:59:17,639 --> 00:59:20,280
I like Morella stuff, and I think he can do it.

1040
00:59:20,719 --> 00:59:23,920
But if Lobela was good to his word, hey you

1041
00:59:24,079 --> 00:59:26,360
end up with two of the three lefties in the

1042
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,960
ninth inning, and he's going to go with Garcia. So

1043
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,199
that's my logic and that's exactly how I put it

1044
00:59:34,239 --> 00:59:37,519
on on the discord discord site. So there's my thoughts. Rich.

1045
00:59:37,639 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. If we can also

1046
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,480
talk about the discord site for a moment again, I

1047
00:59:42,559 --> 00:59:45,639
encourage everybody to join his Patreon dot com formar slash

1048
00:59:45,679 --> 00:59:48,800
Prospect three sixty one. So I of course torched him

1049
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:50,719
because that's that we have fun. We like them make

1050
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,440
fun of each other and on his on including Gabriel

1051
00:59:54,559 --> 01:00:00,119
Hughes in his waiver work, last year last week and

1052
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,800
one of the very active member Nails. I think his

1053
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:09,920
first name is Paul, and he did a wonderful analysis

1054
01:00:10,079 --> 01:00:13,360
of why Tim was right. So Tim, I, let's talk

1055
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,079
about that on Sunday when we have a little bit

1056
01:00:15,079 --> 01:00:19,119
more time, because he made some really good arguments that

1057
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,239
you were right. I still can't get over it. He

1058
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:26,360
still plays in Colorado, but let's let's let's break through that.

1059
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:27,239
It's pretty interesting.

1060
01:00:28,039 --> 01:00:30,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'll take those three herd runs that he allowed

1061
01:00:30,719 --> 01:00:33,519
and I'll smile and I'll be very very happy. And hey,

1062
01:00:33,559 --> 01:00:36,079
thanks Paul. I appreciate you having my back. You know,

1063
01:00:36,159 --> 01:00:38,320
I throw you under the bus at the first opportunity,

1064
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,599
So it's refreshing when somebody has my back.

1065
01:00:40,679 --> 01:00:45,599
Speaker 1: Yes, that's that is for sure. Okay. The final segment

1066
01:00:45,679 --> 01:00:48,119
is Spincer Jones had a big night on Wednesday, home

1067
01:00:48,159 --> 01:00:52,719
run and a stolen base. Nice timing. Does Spencer Jones

1068
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:57,800
get moved as the Yankees try to bring in some offense.

1069
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, no, they're going to stick with them.

1070
01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: Really? Is that a smart move?

1071
01:01:05,519 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: No, there's a Yankee move.

1072
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:11,079
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, I think he needs to get moved.

1073
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:11,800
That's just me.

1074
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:18,199
Speaker 2: Mm yeah, I've got I've.

1075
01:01:17,159 --> 01:01:19,519
Speaker 1: Got a couple of other young kids, and I think

1076
01:01:19,639 --> 01:01:21,599
it's gets moved. I kind of want to know if

1077
01:01:21,599 --> 01:01:23,960
you've got any opinions here in the in the trade

1078
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,599
that life. Here's my here's my deal for Errek Schouble,

1079
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,039
Zire Hope and River Ryan. I could go Zire Hope

1080
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,760
and em It Sheehan for Terrek schoobl plus one, but

1081
01:01:37,559 --> 01:01:41,119
I I think that's the kind of even though Terrek

1082
01:01:41,159 --> 01:01:44,360
Scooble is a Renter, he's different. I think it's going

1083
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:48,079
to take a couple of big bodies, and I think

1084
01:01:48,119 --> 01:01:49,719
that's what the Dodgers are going to do. So that's

1085
01:01:50,039 --> 01:01:52,480
sire Hope and Hope and River Ryan are two of

1086
01:01:52,519 --> 01:01:53,719
my young kids. What do you think?

1087
01:01:54,719 --> 01:01:57,559
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I I like it. The only thing I

1088
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:02,079
the only thing I did was put I've got two destinations.

1089
01:02:02,119 --> 01:02:05,199
One is the Dodgers, and I've got substitute James Tibbs

1090
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,679
for a Hope. Uh.

1091
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,039
Speaker 1: Again, I think that's fair. So once again, another patroon

1092
01:02:12,119 --> 01:02:16,159
member sent me said, like, if if the Dodgers move somebody,

1093
01:02:16,199 --> 01:02:19,280
who's the most likely to have playing time in the

1094
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:23,000
second half? And my thought was James Tibbs. The third

1095
01:02:23,039 --> 01:02:27,920
would be that guy zire Home might not but but

1096
01:02:28,039 --> 01:02:31,280
James Timms. I think xire Hope's got way more upside

1097
01:02:32,199 --> 01:02:34,880
than James Timms. But it might be both of them. Tim,

1098
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:41,480
I think school is going to command a ton of players.

1099
01:02:42,119 --> 01:02:48,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and here's my here's my other schoobl bet uh,

1100
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:49,960
Aiden Miller and Andrew Painter.

1101
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, I like that, Tim So Andrew Painter's got

1102
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,719
a right arm. I'm shocked that he had so much trouble.

1103
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,679
I think I think that's improvable. And then aid Miller

1104
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:09,559
has been scary hurt this season with a bad back,

1105
01:03:10,079 --> 01:03:11,960
But I don't think you give up on that talent.

1106
01:03:12,199 --> 01:03:14,519
That's a great call. That's a very similar kind of

1107
01:03:14,519 --> 01:03:16,800
package that you could get from the Phillies.

1108
01:03:17,679 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just saw when I looked at the Phillies

1109
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:25,400
they need a pitcher. If they added Scooble, that changes

1110
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,400
the dynamics in the NL in a huge way. And

1111
01:03:27,519 --> 01:03:31,599
Aidan Miller and Painter with Yeah, maybe some low level

1112
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,360
that might be that might be enough to get Detroit's

1113
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:38,679
interest because of the upside potential. Not that yeah, but.

1114
01:03:38,599 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: If it's if it's down to the Phillies, and the

1115
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,559
Dodgers and you're playing cards. I mean, the Dodgers can

1116
01:03:44,679 --> 01:03:49,280
keep throwing guys down, they will, they will outspend easily

1117
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:49,880
the Phillies.

1118
01:03:50,719 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, there's no doubt they'll easily outspend. It's

1119
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:59,719
what Detroit sees as the high end potential from the

1120
01:03:59,719 --> 01:04:05,599
big names and Aiden Miller if he if he returns

1121
01:04:05,639 --> 01:04:09,400
to Aiden Miller could be a really, really good baseball.

1122
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 1: But if you're on the if you're on the the

1123
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,679
Detroit side, you have to factor in that he's a

1124
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,760
chronic back problem. You have to factor in that kind

1125
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,920
of stuff, the fact that he's missed the entire season

1126
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:23,800
because of a of a bank injury.

1127
01:04:24,679 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah. I just thought it was I just

1128
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,239
thought it was worth to there.

1129
01:04:30,519 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: Just I just I love it. A good good job

1130
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,239
on that one. In Milwaukee, I I think I think

1131
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,199
Milwaukee's got to be active. They've got so much depth.

1132
01:04:39,199 --> 01:04:42,559
They've got as much depth, if not more depth, than

1133
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,639
the Dodgers. Do I nobody's got more depth than the

1134
01:04:45,639 --> 01:04:48,519
outfield than the Dodgers. But across the board, the Brewers

1135
01:04:48,559 --> 01:04:51,800
do they need some more pitching. I think Jeff Williams

1136
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,480
is a guy they acquired from the Mets last year

1137
01:04:55,719 --> 01:04:59,920
for Freddie Peralta. I think Jet Williams can still play.

1138
01:05:00,119 --> 01:05:02,360
He's had a somewhat of a tough season. If you

1139
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,320
look under the cover a little bit, there's still a

1140
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,800
lot there. And I just think he's expendable. Tim they

1141
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:12,159
got Lewis Laws their fourth outfielder. Jet Williams can also

1142
01:05:12,159 --> 01:05:14,440
play the athlete play the infield as well. I think

1143
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,280
he's expendable. I think the Milwaukee Brewers move.

1144
01:05:17,199 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 2: Him, Yeah, I I I think it's a good call.

1145
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:29,639
My call with Milwaukee is a acquirer Fast Ready. He

1146
01:05:29,719 --> 01:05:32,400
comes back home to Milwaukee for Luke Adams and a

1147
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:36,400
low level dark toss because the Brewers. The Brewers have

1148
01:05:37,039 --> 01:05:40,880
the first base depth now that they who did draft Fisher?

1149
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:42,400
Was it or somebody.

1150
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:48,039
Speaker 1: They drafted Fisher in twenty Yeah, they can't hit though

1151
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:52,800
he can't hit well, Brewers have got time to fix them.

1152
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:54,599
Speaker 2: They got an extra first baseman they can move. So

1153
01:05:54,599 --> 01:05:57,320
I think they're going to take Luke Adams and and

1154
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:02,639
whatever and ship them off to the Mets for Ready.

1155
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: Look, if I don't know what happened to Fast Freddy five?

1156
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,559
Any Freddy four? Any? I don't know what the nickname is.

1157
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,360
I looked at the date extensively before this year's when

1158
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:14,960
I was doing my draft targets. He was one of

1159
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,159
my draft targets, one of the ones I obviously missed

1160
01:06:17,159 --> 01:06:21,480
on h I just can't believe that I was so

1161
01:06:21,719 --> 01:06:24,400
wrong on the analysis of him. So I got to

1162
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,440
revisit what he has done and what's gone wrong. But

1163
01:06:27,519 --> 01:06:29,400
I have a tendency to believe a lot of it's

1164
01:06:29,559 --> 01:06:33,079
just the Mets and there's just something not right there.

1165
01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:35,840
I can't figure it out. People seem to think it's

1166
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,360
Francisco Lindora is the source of all the clubhouse problems.

1167
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,800
I don't know, but something's definitely not right there.

1168
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 2: No, there's yeah that, Yeah, it's a mess. They've got

1169
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:49,840
to get that sort of. They can't go into next

1170
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:54,400
year in the same situation as they are in right now.

1171
01:06:54,639 --> 01:06:56,000
That just cannot happen.

1172
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: No last guy is the Rays. I think the Rais

1173
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,280
say their series about schoolball. Ryan Pepio, I believe is

1174
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,960
still hurt. The Key could be an interesting guy. They've

1175
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,400
got a ton of depth in their starting pitcher, Brody Hopkins,

1176
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,599
so they've got a lot of depth that they can move,

1177
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:16,519
and we know that teams love that controllable uh control

1178
01:07:16,599 --> 01:07:19,280
with pictures, and you could see them do another deal

1179
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,719
with the UH with the Nationals as well. Uh, the

1180
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,280
Nationals would love to have some of that that really

1181
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:27,400
good starting pitcher that's sitting in the minor leagues for

1182
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:28,840
the Rays. What do you think?

1183
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense because they can they can, they

1184
01:07:34,039 --> 01:07:37,599
can move some of that depth and they're not paying.

1185
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,519
They won't be paying for it. It be short term.

1186
01:07:40,719 --> 01:07:44,880
So yeah, no, that makes total sense. And let's Fay said.

1187
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,480
With the j Jay's out of it, Gosman could be

1188
01:07:47,559 --> 01:07:50,760
moved even though he is very very popular in Toronto

1189
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:56,360
with both the fans. Yeah he could. Yeah, he's he's

1190
01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:01,480
been a model citizen while in Toronto they just love

1191
01:08:01,559 --> 01:08:05,079
him and he likes Toronto in a big way. So

1192
01:08:05,199 --> 01:08:07,039
I would have a tendency to think that the J's

1193
01:08:07,039 --> 01:08:11,440
are going to move Bieber possibly Ghostman. Uh, They're gonna

1194
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:17,760
move jeff Off and my destination there is to the Phillies.

1195
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:22,000
Yeah for next to nothing. Uh. I here's an interesting

1196
01:08:22,039 --> 01:08:24,880
one that I thought of, and it makes sense if

1197
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,359
the Mets will eat the deferred money or some part

1198
01:08:27,359 --> 01:08:31,319
of the contract Devin Williams to the Cubs for James Treantos.

1199
01:08:35,039 --> 01:08:35,600
What do you think?

1200
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:40,159
Speaker 1: Uh, I mean, I like James Treanto's Yeah, I mean

1201
01:08:40,199 --> 01:08:43,359
that's I mean there, I think the Mets are gonna

1202
01:08:43,399 --> 01:08:44,640
have to eat some of the money. I don't know

1203
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,560
what his contract is off the top of my head,

1204
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,520
but yeah, that's I'll buy that.

1205
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,560
Speaker 2: Oh okay. And the other The other thing is I

1206
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,680
think Daldon Varsho ends up with in Texas for a

1207
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,199
mid to lower level prospect.

1208
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,359
Speaker 1: Is he is he a free agent at the end

1209
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:00,840
of the season.

1210
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:06,279
Speaker 2: I believe it's coming up. Yes, yeah. A Varshow to

1211
01:09:06,359 --> 01:09:08,720
the Rangers makes sense when you look at right now,

1212
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,600
the Rangers are looking at Evan Carter in center field.

1213
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:17,079
Varshow improves their defense and gives them an everyday player,

1214
01:09:17,119 --> 01:09:19,760
and they can put Carter back in as a fourth outfielder.

1215
01:09:20,239 --> 01:09:24,640
So I sort of think that the Jays are going

1216
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,880
to move as the sky's a limit as far as

1217
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,600
the Jays are concerned. But I think Varshow ends up

1218
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,159
in Texas. I think it's a nice fit.

1219
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: To me, It's like our final break come back and

1220
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,479
let's see who ten is going to be picking up

1221
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:41,439
I'm anxious to hear this. I think one of them

1222
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:53,800
is going to be the pitcher to see. You got

1223
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,920
a beautiful day brewing here in New Jersey. Seventy six

1224
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,640
degrees at ten thirty. I think it's going to get

1225
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,159
the low eighties this afternoon. Think about going to our pool,

1226
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,760
sit by the pool and finishing off the week that way.

1227
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,319
Speaker 2: It sounds like a good idea, right, Yeah, it sounds

1228
01:10:07,359 --> 01:10:09,119
like a great plan. It's hotter than the hell here,

1229
01:10:09,159 --> 01:10:13,720
so it's they're called they're calling for low nineties with

1230
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:17,640
the humid X and it's been that temperature all week.

1231
01:10:18,119 --> 01:10:22,000
My my poor ac is gotta you know, please don't

1232
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,720
start me again, not again, every time I go to turn. Yeah,

1233
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:28,600
it's been hot here, really hot in human.

1234
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,319
Speaker 1: Break soon you lets you let us on to uh

1235
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:36,560
Quinn Matthews being your pictures? Is that is that your move?

1236
01:10:38,119 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? That that would be my movie. The other there's

1237
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:45,399
some bullpen moves in there. Eric Miller in San Francisco

1238
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:50,520
is starting to generate some positive vibes. So yeah, Quinn Matthews,

1239
01:10:51,079 --> 01:10:54,560
Eric Miller. Yeah, Like Matthews is going up against the

1240
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,520
Jays who can't hit their way out of a wet

1241
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:00,119
paper bag on a good day. Yeah, if I I

1242
01:11:00,119 --> 01:11:04,359
had Matthews rostered right now, I'd have him starting against

1243
01:11:04,399 --> 01:11:09,640
the Jays. It's gune deal. I had no Fromoto. That

1244
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:13,880
offense is just blah and it's it's it's it's not

1245
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,479
even just blah. It's an uninspired blah. You know what

1246
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,560
I mean? Yeah, yeah, I was.

1247
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,039
Speaker 1: We mentioned that on Sunday, how uninspiring it was to

1248
01:11:23,399 --> 01:11:24,279
watch their games.

1249
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Max Clark forty rostered. Yeah, that forty five

1250
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,399
percent will turn into ninety five percent rostered by next

1251
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,800
Monday when we get the results of this weekend's fat people.

1252
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,720
Anybody who's got money left if he's sitting in the

1253
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:47,359
free agent pool and spend the money. Yea.

1254
01:11:48,279 --> 01:11:51,520
Speaker 1: In my dynasty leagues that I have focused so much

1255
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:56,279
on outfielders, I'm gonna have trouble starting Max Clark. I'm

1256
01:11:56,359 --> 01:11:59,960
flushing outfielders. If he played first base, My first base

1257
01:12:00,239 --> 01:12:03,880
are terrible. I don't know what has happened. I've just

1258
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:08,319
done a terrible job at kind of rostering minor league

1259
01:12:08,319 --> 01:12:11,520
first basement. And I got I got Reee. Hoskins playing it,

1260
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,479
and then Josh bells world and I have nobody.

1261
01:12:15,279 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and you know what, those nobody's are probably

1262
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,279
your best options when you take a look and you

1263
01:12:21,359 --> 01:12:26,399
look at Vladdie, okay, you look at past Quentino, you look.

1264
01:12:26,199 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: At both of those in leagues.

1265
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you know, first first base has been depleted

1266
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:39,319
of upper to elite level talent because of injuries this year.

1267
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:43,239
So we've gone and we've rostered the Reecee Hoskins and

1268
01:12:43,319 --> 01:12:45,560
Josh Bells of the world. Looking at films, they're not

1269
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:49,760
villains anymore. They're everyday players to fill ins. That's where

1270
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:53,479
it gets brutal, you know. Yeah, do I want to

1271
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:57,399
fight in my fab wors for Nolan Sanuel? No, it's no,

1272
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:57,960
I don't know.

1273
01:12:58,279 --> 01:12:59,520
Speaker 1: No, No, definitely.

1274
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,239
Speaker 2: And you look and who's got the potential to get

1275
01:13:02,279 --> 01:13:05,319
called up? Are there big first basement out there? Probably not?

1276
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:10,720
So at first base has been it's been a tough

1277
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,880
position to fill this year.

1278
01:13:13,159 --> 01:13:16,640
Speaker 1: I have Michael Bush and a bunch of leagues and yeah,

1279
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,039
but I mean that's that's that's how I've been rostering.

1280
01:13:20,079 --> 01:13:22,800
To me and I look down and I'm sitting in

1281
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,640
eighth place in a lot of leagues, and I just

1282
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,520
I don't have the power sitting in my first first

1283
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,800
base lot and where I've got power, I'm doing just fine.

1284
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:36,039
Speaker 2: M Yeah, I know you're picking up your power elsewhere.

1285
01:13:36,119 --> 01:13:43,439
But you know, Pete Lonzo's got twenty two home runs. Okay,

1286
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,039
it's not a bad number, but it's not fifty, isn't

1287
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,079
It might not even be forty. It might be it

1288
01:13:50,159 --> 01:13:56,640
might be one of his worst seasons as a major leaguer. Okay,

1289
01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:00,520
so right across the board, you start looking at base

1290
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:06,600
and it hasn't been pretty, and everybody's hey, I'm surprised

1291
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:12,600
that players like Reece Hoskins are only roster When you

1292
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:17,079
look at the current situation out there, you could do

1293
01:14:17,199 --> 01:14:17,680
much worse.

1294
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:22,039
Speaker 1: I was that for sure, Timmy, that isn't wrap, my friend,

1295
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:24,640
We're gonna we're gonna stop it there. Thanks for going

1296
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,960
the extra ten minutes or so. I appreciate that act

1297
01:14:27,159 --> 01:14:29,920
fifteen minutes. So we gave our our listeners lots of content.

1298
01:14:30,399 --> 01:14:34,800
We're back in an hour early on Sunday, and Tim

1299
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,199
is going to allow me to get off to go

1300
01:14:37,279 --> 01:14:39,720
to a family baseball game. So that would be gret

1301
01:14:40,399 --> 01:14:43,720
But Tim happens weekend. Let's hope we get some trades.

1302
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,399
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I don't want to be talking solely about

1303
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:48,800
a j miner on Sunday.

1304
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: Rich Now, yeah, I didn't even write him up. It's

1305
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,079
just like, okay, yeah, yeah, I gotta say. I gotta

1306
01:14:55,079 --> 01:14:57,239
save my fingers for the real stuff because that's that's

1307
01:14:57,279 --> 01:14:59,800
going to come coming in Sunday and Monday is going

1308
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:00,479
to be crazy.

1309
01:15:01,399 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. I think the idea of doing a

1310
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,880
show at the beginning of next week Monday night, Tuesday whatever,

1311
01:15:07,079 --> 01:15:10,039
to look at some of those moves, probably probably a

1312
01:15:10,119 --> 01:15:12,159
wiest plan because I think we're going to have our

1313
01:15:12,199 --> 01:15:14,960
hands full right at the deadline, probably.

1314
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday, because I'll be I'll be writing all Monday. So

1315
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:19,720
I used to go to the wee hours of the

1316
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:23,680
morning on uh on writing up all doing all the analysis.

1317
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,840
So I'm uh yeah, that's what I'll be doing on Monday.

1318
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,960
So I got to rest up over the weekend.

1319
01:15:31,039 --> 01:15:34,520
