Baseball Live.

3
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: Today is Father's Day. It is the twenty first, which

4
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:31,039
I think also Tim, it is the summer solstice, right,

5
00:00:31,079 --> 00:00:36,560
so it's the longest day of the year. Happy Father's Day, Tim.

6
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 3: Well, thank you Rich and back at your happy Father's Day.

7
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:42,640
You know this would be the perfect lead in to that,

8
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,320
to that dad, to that joke that you told me

9
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:48,960
prior to going on there. That's a j that's a

10
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:51,799
jee I love that one that asked my he.

11
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: I assistant before we came on the air, just give

12
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,640
me five dad jokes. And the second one made me laugh.

13
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,240
Here it is everybody. I told my wife she's should

14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,520
embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug.

15
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: That's really good, well done, well done. Yes, speaking of mistakes.

16
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,280
Looking at today's games, we've got a few pitching phautopause,

17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,319
don't we.

18
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:22,439
Speaker 2: I saw where the Royals scored six runs. I got

19
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:25,879
all excited and I went in to see how Bobby

20
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:28,319
wit Junior was doing. I forgot he's not playing. He's

21
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,120
still on the bench.

22
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you've got to be bragging about you know,

23
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,560
Lofton with a two run Homer. I don't know who's

24
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,920
bragging about that, but you know he dust and May

25
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:46,000
spotted a where was a nine to two lead going

26
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:48,640
the second he allowed for He's allowed six earned runs

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,519
in two innings. But Stephen Cola takes a big prize

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,519
there with nine earned runs over one and two thirds,

29
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,359
And that would be a lesson in how you turn

30
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,760
and outstanding two sixty eight year ra into a four

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,760
fifteen ear ray in one outing?

32
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,239
Speaker 2: Was that Dustin May?

33
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: No coler because.

34
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: Dustin May's back up to fourth and code Duston May

35
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:15,199
look like he had turned a corner and just was

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,960
setting at the last few outings and just blew up today.

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,199
Speaker 3: Yeah no, Uh, Dustin May's ear a went from three

38
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,719
seventy five to four fifteen.

39
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good.

40
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,039
Speaker 3: Now.

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: Did did you see what the Mets did with Freddy

42
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:31,919
Peralta yesterday?

43
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: You mean two inning Freddy?

44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,759
Speaker 2: Two inning Freddy? Was it ten earned runs?

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 3: Yeah? Ten earned runs? Yeah? I have to I said

46
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,759
a prayer, okay yesterday because he was going up against

47
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,560
who is he going up against? Peralta?

48
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: I start wasn't a great team. Uh, let's see Mets

49
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,319
are going up against Uh the Philly. So it was

50
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:01,039
a good team.

51
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:05,319
Speaker 3: Yes it was. Who was he going up against? We

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,719
started uh Sanchez and kept the bar all hit on

53
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:12,039
our bench in one league, and I just thought, thank

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,319
you Lord, okay, not having to deal with that for

55
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,280
those that decided to take the well, I'll start both

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,479
and hope for the best. Let's hope you had the

57
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,759
Philly starter, all right, I had, You know, my NFC

58
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,439
team was hitting has been great, but my pitching is

59
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,360
just I just I can't get any pitching.

60
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,599
Speaker 2: And I got Freddy Parolton. I had started to make

61
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,960
some hay and then it just I haven't even checked it.

62
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,199
I was just it just that's Yeah, that's just a shot,

63
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,159
a punch to the gut.

64
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a serious, serious punch that one. Yeah, No,

65
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:50,120
I everybody will be racing around today to see who

66
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:53,800
had collect going okay, and hopefully it wasn't them.

67
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see.

68
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,639
Speaker 3: So the Astros.

69
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:01,039
Speaker 2: Astros are up two to nothing of the guards, which

70
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,360
is who's pitching their ting, who's been up and down

71
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:08,639
as well? Alvarez with his twenty fifth home run.

72
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: Till Yeah, twenty five, that's a big number.

73
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: That's a big number. He's going to hit fifty, and

74
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,399
we thought that was always possible if you can stay healthy,

75
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:20,639
and Tim took him in the first round. So I've

76
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:22,680
got a lot of feedback on our first round that

77
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:29,639
we did on Friday, people questioning O'Neil Cruz over Corbyn Carrol,

78
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:37,560
which I think is fair feedback on that. I took

79
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,600
O'Neil Cruz eighth, ninth or something like that, and I

80
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,800
do understand the batting risk there, but it was curious

81
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,480
that Corbyn Carrol fell all the way to the fifteenth

82
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:50,360
pick there. But the speed is off this season, so

83
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,879
I mean I I you know, as you and I

84
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,839
talked about on Friday, you can argue pretty much everybody,

85
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,399
but Bobby went and show Heyo Tani you can. You

86
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:01,079
can make an r give in a lot of different

87
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:03,120
ways on each of these players this season.

88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, once you get through that the first couple of players,

89
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,959
I'll throw one soda in there too. I think he's

90
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,519
a relatively safe dare. But once you gets through the

91
00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:16,079
first three four, hey, you can justify picking just aboute

92
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,480
anybody to fill out the you know, the rest of

93
00:05:20,519 --> 00:05:22,920
that first round. We've seen a lot of injuries, a

94
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:25,680
lot of first round players, hurting, a lot of first

95
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:28,800
round players getting a little bit older and judging Ramirez.

96
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:34,600
So yeah, I's it's an open book right now. How

97
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:34,959
is that?

98
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,439
Speaker 2: I don't remember it being this convoluted because we do

99
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:41,120
this stuff for a living, to mean, we we come

100
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,439
on the air, we talk about it, we do mid

101
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,000
season drafts all the time, and I can't remember being

102
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,040
as afraid to pick a guy six and seventh as

103
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,439
I was on Friday, just unsure of whether it was

104
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,160
making the right decision or not even a good decision.

105
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,439
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's very very unstable right now because of

106
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,519
because of injuries, because of age, because of some of

107
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,040
the young players that are really stepping up in a

108
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,079
big way. Could Pete prol Armstrong rega, I'm gonna be

109
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,199
a first round pick if he doesn't repeat the second

110
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:19,160
half of last year and continues on even a mini

111
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,079
tear for the balance of the season. Uh, he's posting

112
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,600
some huge numbers and guaranteed of the players that we

113
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,839
listed and talked about on Friday, there's going to be

114
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,920
three four more that are going to join the group

115
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,199
over the over the next three plus months of the season.

116
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,759
It's going to happen somebody's going to get hot in

117
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,160
the second half and their value is going to go

118
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,120
right through the roof.

119
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. The guy that I felt really confident forgot right

120
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,240
I picked him was James Wood. I mean what he

121
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:52,720
is doing and the bat speed. He's number one in

122
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,920
hard hits in the in Major League baseill, number two

123
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,480
in exit velocity. Six foot seven, still got really good

124
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:04,319
speed hitting lead off. It's just a monster, Tim.

125
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:09,639
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Ad another RBI today over one with an

126
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,360
RBI sackfly somewhere in there.

127
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,319
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the sackfly that I was watching the game

128
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,639
hit it to the deepest part of Tropic Canna Field,

129
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,279
which it might not be called Tropic Canna Field anymore,

130
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:24,399
but that that place down in Saint Petersburg. It would

131
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,399
have probably been a home run in twenty nine O

132
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,079
the ballparks. It was just an absolute bomb. It just

133
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:30,680
flicked his wrist him and it just.

134
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:38,319
Speaker 3: Went m Yeah. They're very, very, very impressive. Okomodia was

135
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:43,560
another home run your guy? Yes, yeah, yeah, yesterday? Yeah,

136
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,160
and it was it was a bet. It was. It

137
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:48,199
was the way home run swings. It was only three

138
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:52,399
seventy seven in Chicago and regularly, but it was the

139
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,040
type of home run that you loved to see because

140
00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:58,399
he just it was just a grippet and rip it.

141
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:00,959
It was a perfect home run swing. He made connection

142
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,879
with it. Majestic it was, it was, It was a

143
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,800
sight to behold. I was very, very impressed.

144
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: Timmy said that the Brewers did not respect their elder

145
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,600
race elder six innings pitch, having a good season, twelve hits,

146
00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:21,399
eight urned runs. It wasn't in the carts for him today.

147
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:29,759
Speaker 3: No, it most certainly wasn't. And uh, yeah, it happens.

148
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,960
There are very few pictures that you can count on

149
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,159
game in game out to deliver really consistent. You know,

150
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,600
I was looking at even yesterday. Okay, I had four

151
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,159
pictures going okay yesterday in one of my leagues, and

152
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,559
I'm sitting there trying to make a decision, okay, because

153
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:59,240
it wasn't a really easy one, and that I had

154
00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:05,919
a choice with Paul Skins pitching in Colorado, Okay, done,

155
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,480
I started them, okay U Yamamoto at home, okay, And

156
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:18,000
then I had a choice between Will Warren.

157
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: And let's have you choice, Will Warren. Oh, I guess

158
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,240
we'll Warren only gave up two earned runs, but.

159
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a choice between Warren and Abbot, and

160
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,960
I got a pile of story coaches yesterday, but no wins.

161
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:38,519
Abbot outpitched. I took losses from the three pitchers. I

162
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,039
started Yamamoto, Skins and Warren. It didn't hurt me. It

163
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,159
generated twenty four strikeouts for me on the day and

164
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:48,200
the three h nine e arra. But would you start

165
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,399
Abbot over Warren? It was just one of those days

166
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,960
where if I didn't have any luck that would you

167
00:09:56,039 --> 00:09:58,279
have had any something like that?

168
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't know. This is that's why

169
00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:04,240
fantasy baseball is so it's so much more frustrated than

170
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,279
fantasy football. I mean it just the guys go out pitch.

171
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:10,200
I mean, yeah, my mode pitch well, yeah, but you know,

172
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:14,360
the the believe it about Treman Rogers pitch better. I

173
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,320
mean it's like who would have thought that?

174
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: And schemes only allowed to earned runs in Coors with

175
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,200
eight strake codes Yeah yeah, yeah, great outing and he.

176
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: Lost I know, and I guess, And your point is,

177
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,440
I mean, it's just, yeah, this is white.

178
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, why do we drink? Let me count the ways?

179
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:37,879
I know.

180
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like Ben Rice let not hit a

181
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,519
home run off the Chase Burns. It lead off the game,

182
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:47,720
but he's Ben lead off two ninety batting average. With

183
00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:50,200
his twenty second home run. We talked about twenty five

184
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,600
home runs being a big number, twenty two home runs

185
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:53,960
for Ben Rice.

186
00:10:55,399 --> 00:11:02,759
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, what is interesting in this is Elma Rodriguez

187
00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:05,320
had himself a real good game going until he allowed

188
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,279
a home run, a three run shot to Stevenson. But

189
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:16,360
what I find interesting is that the Yankees are running

190
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,600
up twos in the stolen base category, Domingus with two,

191
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:26,240
Bellinger with two, Jazz Chisholm with two. Six stolen bases.

192
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,679
Chase Burns doesn't check runners, does he? Yeah?

193
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,399
Speaker 2: I was just about to say it's either that I

194
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:33,360
don't think Stevens has got that bad of an arm,

195
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,120
so it's probably on Chase Burns. So without looking at

196
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,200
the data to determine that, you would have to just

197
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,360
agree that that's probably what's going on. They're just running them,

198
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,879
They're running wild on them.

199
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah. And what's what's also interesting. I didn't

200
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,000
think Chase Burns was going to get through five. He

201
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,480
must bore down because he was up over seventy pitches

202
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,919
or close to seventy pitches after three innings, he ended

203
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:58,919
up at ninety six.

204
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: He's he's in line for the win.

205
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.

206
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it doesn't pitch all that well, gives up

207
00:12:06,279 --> 00:12:09,120
run runners running all over him, and still only gives

208
00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:10,639
up one run. That's what the hundred mile an hour

209
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,360
fastball will do for you.

210
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was going to say there's a reason that

211
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,879
he has jack runners right on base normally, and number two,

212
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,960
yeah he gets it. He gets home late with lots

213
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:23,720
of gudeap on it.

214
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look a lot of there's a lot

215
00:12:27,639 --> 00:12:32,320
of theory about you guys that get distracted by runners

216
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,279
on first base, then don't bear down on the guy

217
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,240
because a guy at home is more important than the

218
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:40,120
guy on first base. And if you've got great stuff

219
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,080
like Chase Burns, I mean, why this with the guy

220
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,240
on first base? Because chances are going to get stuck

221
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:48,960
at first or second anyway. So what do I care

222
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,879
about the guy? And I think the day's outing proved

223
00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:54,240
it where he didn't have his best stuff and he

224
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:57,720
still gets through a really good lineup. You know it's judgeless,

225
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,320
but still a really good lineup.

226
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,759
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you know, the only the only hit that

227
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,559
did damage was Ben Rice's homer.

228
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:10,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is correct. Let's see what else we got

229
00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:12,879
going on here. The Marlins up to one on the

230
00:13:12,919 --> 00:13:17,080
pathetic Giants, John the thirty one and forty five. I

231
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,279
think that that's appropriate to say pathetic.

232
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:25,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is. Yeah. But on a positive note, Rich,

233
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,200
this is important for everybody. You remember in the future

234
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:31,720
that April showers bring June's hours.

235
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, I hit another home run. Yeah, so yep,

236
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:40,960
his eighth thought I should give you a rim shot

237
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,399
on that. That was That was a very bad dad

238
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:46,759
pun on this Father's Day. I think we will allow that.

239
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,840
So uh, let's see Marcy another Oh for he's hitting

240
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,159
two of five. Really shocked to me that they have

241
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,399
moved him down the line if they have done something,

242
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,000
I mean, it's just I mean, I get the eighteen

243
00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:03,919
stolen bases, but it was a three twenty seven one

244
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,879
base percentage. But the powers is not there and the

245
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,200
batting average is not there. It's been tough season for.

246
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: Him, Yeah, it has. You know who it hasn't been

247
00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:20,679
a tough season for is Auto Lopez. He is If

248
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,320
I'm not mistaken. Auto Lopez is the first major leagueer

249
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,279
to one hundred hits this year, did it yesterday?

250
00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:31,559
Speaker 2: So he should be the Marlins representative on the on

251
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:33,960
the All Star Game.

252
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:37,679
Speaker 3: I would think, yeah, yeah, definitely when you're looking at

253
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,320
a player that's, yeah, batting three point thirty two with

254
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,200
a three sixty four OVP, one hundred hits and fifteen

255
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,600
stolen the bases to go with five home runs. That's

256
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:52,039
quite the year out of Otto Lopez for a player

257
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,679
that was drafted it as a as a late middle

258
00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:56,320
infield type.

259
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: Esther, remember him? Tell me an NOPs of nine twenty

260
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:03,200
one he gets?

261
00:15:04,879 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? Wow? And and and you know who the Giants

262
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,519
nominee should be looking at that game, Casey Schid forty

263
00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:18,919
second RBI. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

264
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,039
Speaker 2: Can we up with best your Ruiz? I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

265
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: Yes, my my, the career minor league leader in the

266
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:26,559
stolen bases that Estuary.

267
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: Ruiz seventy at bats, fourteen stolen bases, four home runs,

268
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,759
three sixty one on base percentage five fifty seven slug

269
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:37,639
But is he just facing left handed pitching? Is that

270
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:40,559
what's going on here? Uh?

271
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:42,559
Speaker 3: Yeah? And picture running probably.

272
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,159
Speaker 2: Tell me that that's not horrible.

273
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: No, it's not. No, no, no. You know what also

274
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:56,120
also is interesting is the Giants offense. Okay, didn't have

275
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,080
enough gusto to get by Gusco.

276
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:01,639
Speaker 2: You're reaching McLeod.

277
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:05,759
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay.

278
00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:07,039
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you go with the.

279
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: Give you a pity bothers giving you a.

280
00:16:12,559 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: Pity of rimshot. Okay, yeah, okay, that that one took

281
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:17,519
a lot.

282
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, my friend, I thank you. There'll be

283
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,799
two Christmas cards this year.

284
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:28,279
Speaker 2: Okay, hey, hey, hey, check that Texas Ranger score out

285
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:32,080
our buddy Wyatt Langford one for three with a three

286
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:32,919
run home run.

287
00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:37,559
Speaker 3: He has, uh, he's been hot. He's making up for

288
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:42,159
lost ground rather quickly. I would say, what's that given

289
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,279
home run? Up to six home runs now and they've

290
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,279
all come this month.

291
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,159
Speaker 2: So yeah, let's see. Let's take a look at his

292
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:48,799
game log.

293
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: We won't.

294
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: We don't have Yesterday's in there, Today's in there. But

295
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,919
since six five, when he came back, that is four

296
00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:58,960
home runs, five home runs today batting three oh four

297
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:01,720
with a three sixty one one base percentage and a

298
00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:05,039
fine eighty nine slug. That was the guy we thought

299
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:07,480
timmy coming to yes season, That's who we thought we

300
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,480
were going to get everyone.

301
00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:12,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did minus April and May. Yeah, well he

302
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:19,200
didn't playing, yeah, exactly. Yeah, and Lucas Giolito's getting roughed

303
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,039
up for the Bogger is eh.

304
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,519
Speaker 2: I got a question here, and I'm just going to

305
00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:26,400
go to and then we'll take a break because one

306
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,720
of my questions for Tim this is crazy Manny Machado.

307
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,440
Thirteen home runs, one stolen base. Do you know he's

308
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:34,640
hitting one seventy eight.

309
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,759
Speaker 3: I knew it wasn't good, but I didn't know it was.

310
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:41,920
I I'm good.

311
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: That's all. Wow.

312
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,799
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's a that's a that's a big wow.

313
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: So this is Manny Machado, I mean, borderline Hall of

314
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,160
Fame player, uh thirteen, one stolear base, one seventy eight.

315
00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:57,000
Who would you rather have the rest of the season

316
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:01,319
many Machado or Tatist Junior? Were two homes Tim eighteen

317
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,559
stolen bases in a two eighty two batting.

318
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: Average because he's Junior's no, he's hitting. Yeah, Machado has

319
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,400
leaned into was it heat home runs? But he's not

320
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:20,599
hitting well thirteen. I'll take the stolen bases and the

321
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:22,880
guy who's hitting over the power and the guy who's

322
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,519
gone man him.

323
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: Chadda used to be able to steal some bases. His

324
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:32,000
sprint speed is fifth five percentile. So it's just that

325
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,119
just seems weird like this last season. Last season was thirteen.

326
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,440
So yeah, he's just I mean, he's just not the

327
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,480
same guy anymore.

328
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,079
Speaker 3: No, I think me and my walker get down to

329
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,000
first base quicker.

330
00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:45,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, everything is off to him. He's just

331
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:48,680
you know, he's thirty three, and you know, you wonder

332
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,960
if he's really thirty three because it was back in

333
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,759
the day when guys they have very good Well, he

334
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,319
was drafted, right, so I don't I don't know, so

335
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,119
maybe he is thirty three, but he's definitely on the

336
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,559
downward slope now and Tatist Junior is still pretty young,

337
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:06,519
so I'm going to go with Tatisa as well.

338
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll take this. I'll take the speed and the

339
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:12,839
lack of power, but it'd be nice to be picked

340
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,119
up the pace a little bit. Just to Tad.

341
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,759
Speaker 2: Well, here's here's the problem, Tommy. He's hitting the ball

342
00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:20,680
extremely hard ninety one point five, not quite what he

343
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,000
did last season ninety three point three or the year before.

344
00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:26,920
But he's got a four he's got a five degree

345
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,759
launch angle. He's hitting everything on the ground. That's just

346
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:32,079
you're not going to any home runs hitting everything on

347
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,880
the ground. And this is what's happened. I'm not sure

348
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,880
why he is doing that, but that's what's happened.

349
00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: The fact that he's playing at a leadoffs slot might

350
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:44,920
come into play.

351
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:48,039
Speaker 2: Well, he's never been a big angle guy or a

352
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:50,920
big launch angle guy, but I mean it's gone from

353
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,720
ten degrees to nine point four to four point eight.

354
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,920
To me, Timmy, he might be sneaky next season if

355
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,720
he comes in with six or seven home runs. Because

356
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,519
guy hits the ball that hard, you would think somebody

357
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:08,440
would sit down with him, go, hey, why don't you

358
00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:11,519
just tweak this a little bit and you could really

359
00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:13,000
unlock some big power there.

360
00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:17,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, show some highlight real clips of locomotive.

361
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go in sprint speed.

362
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:28,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that would Hey, I expect when I look

363
00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:32,240
at the dso you look at that, you know the

364
00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:35,839
launch angle. Yeah, it makes total sense. Fix that though,

365
00:20:35,839 --> 00:20:38,319
when you got twenty five hole runs to go along

366
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,359
with the thirty to forty stolen bases, right, that's right, Yeah,

367
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,319
that's right. Yeah, that works.

368
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,519
Speaker 2: So the superstar player based on the data, is still

369
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:50,839
in there. He just needs to tweak to his swing.

370
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,839
And why he's gotten into the habit of just sitting

371
00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:57,680
everything on the ground, I don't know, but I know

372
00:20:57,759 --> 00:20:59,759
he signed to a long term contract, so there's not

373
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:03,559
a kind of incentive to improve. But maybe you know,

374
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,519
the padres can just sit down and work with him

375
00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:08,519
and say, look, this is what this is, what's happening.

376
00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:09,640
Do you want to get better or not?

377
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, what's Blad Junior? What's his launej agle? I

378
00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:16,400
don't bet it's not much better.

379
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: Let's take a look Lad. That's an easy one to spell,

380
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,160
Lad Junior eight point three degrees. Okay, Yeah, so it's

381
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,359
another guy that's hitting too many balls on the ground.

382
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:31,720
Just ye, I mean I don't get it. I mean

383
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:34,920
Lad is a great hitter too. I mean it rarely

384
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,240
strikes out and hits the bullster, hits the ball hard.

385
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,480
It's another guy that, to me, if he winds up

386
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,319
with ten or eleven home runs, he would be on

387
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,279
my list, just because the data suggests that there's still

388
00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:48,359
big boy power there.

389
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,839
Speaker 3: Well, sure there is. You know, he's still he can

390
00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:56,720
he can still rep it. It's just yeah, yep.

391
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 2: You don't go from twenty three to whatever Pacy's on

392
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,519
now for eight to ten. That just doesn't make sense

393
00:22:02,759 --> 00:22:05,519
when you're twenty seven years old, that just doesn't make sense.

394
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 3: No, and he's in good shape.

395
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: Yep, well he's in good, lad shape. I'm gonna give

396
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,119
myself a rimshot as we take a brink here.

397
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 3: Yes, is still a shape.

398
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 2: I like that McCloud round. There's still a shape.

399
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:38,599
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah, it is a shape. Maybe not good shape,

400
00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:39,920
but it's still a shape.

401
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: So Tim, we we just give everybody update on my

402
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,920
little personal life here. We finally were able to sell

403
00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:50,240
our old apartment that we had here, so we're down

404
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:54,559
to one place. Yeah, so it closed Thursday, which was Yeah,

405
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:57,079
it was really good news. Young lady bought it or

406
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,799
father bought it for which was kind of cool. Uh.

407
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:02,200
So now we're here with just one you'd never still

408
00:23:02,279 --> 00:23:06,640
getting used to this place up here, and we've got

409
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,640
a microwave, Tim, that looks like it could could launch

410
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,000
a spacecraft. I mean, it's got more buttons loder than

411
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:17,440
I've ever seen, but I think it's too fancy for

412
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,000
its usage. Right, So why do you use a microwave

413
00:23:21,079 --> 00:23:23,039
for I don't know. One of the big reasons we

414
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,440
use it is the pop popcorn.

415
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say popcorn. Popcorn has got to

416
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,000
be the number one used. Warming up coffee is my

417
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,240
prefer but that's that's where I get the most.

418
00:23:32,319 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean popcorn warm up leftover spaghetti or so,

419
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,319
you know. I go and so Lord goes, say, let's

420
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:44,680
have some popcorn. This was yesterday. Go okay. So it's

421
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,960
just it's very fancy timmy. Uh, and it's got a

422
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,680
metal It doesn't have a glass like yours. Probably has

423
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,279
a glass. Everyone we've always owned has a glass tray

424
00:23:55,319 --> 00:23:59,240
in it. This this, this one's got a metal one

425
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:02,680
because it's also a convection of it, which again we've

426
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,279
had convection ovens as well, but they've all had glasses

427
00:24:05,319 --> 00:24:08,359
in there. So I put the you know this side

428
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,319
up on the popcorn press, the popcorn designation on there.

429
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,839
After trying to find it with all the thousands of

430
00:24:15,839 --> 00:24:19,000
butts on it, and I'm going to say six six

431
00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:23,480
kernels popped six the number between five and seven six.

432
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,599
Speaker 3: You know, it's like okay.

433
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,519
Speaker 2: So I'm like, okay, that's not good. So here we

434
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:29,880
call it.

435
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 4: We call a diet popcorn popcorn, right, So I'm like, okay,

436
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:38,799
well maybe just a yeah, I guess there's bad bad bags, right,

437
00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:41,240
so all right, let me put all another bag and

438
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:44,720
try it, and six or seven pop kernels popped.

439
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,519
Speaker 2: I'm like, this isn't good. So lots of research and

440
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:51,279
they finally asked why AI assaystan like, what the heck

441
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,279
is going on? Well, it could be all kinds of stuff.

442
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,359
Something called a megatron, which is this heating element could

443
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,319
be bad, but more than likely you're if you're using

444
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:07,079
a metal uh tray, popcorn won't pop. Popcorn won't pop

445
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,119
on that. The AI system went into all kinds of

446
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,839
reasons physiologically why that doesn't happen. So get I have.

447
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:21,039
There's a fancy microwave that of your usages. You can't

448
00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:27,480
do pop popcorn yet, So I said, well, can I

449
00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:31,640
get a replacement tray? They go no, they they don't

450
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,160
have it for this, and there's some third party ones,

451
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,480
but they probably won't fit. Right, this is what you

452
00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:40,960
should do. Put in a plate upside down to lift

453
00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:43,839
the bag off of the metal thing and it'll pop.

454
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,000
I'm like, that's the dumbest thing. I've ever heard. So

455
00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:52,000
what do I do? I get? I get I get

456
00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:57,319
a a like a metal plate or excuse me, glass plate,

457
00:25:57,319 --> 00:25:58,759
and I put it there. I put it on it.

458
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,400
I've got little I've got the fire extingisher outside of

459
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:08,359
the microwave, and within a minute and a half it

460
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,119
starts popping and it comes out perfectly. I I some

461
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:16,319
my assistant calls that it's called the plate trip, the

462
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,000
inverted plate trip of metal trays and microwaves. I'm like,

463
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,400
holy crap, that's what Father's Day.

464
00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:27,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you build, you buy yourself a thousand dollars

465
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,240
microwave and you got to use a forty nine cent

466
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:32,839
ceramic plate to get it to work?

467
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:33,599
Speaker 2: Exactly?

468
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,799
Speaker 3: Is there something? Is there something wrong with that picture?

469
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,599
Speaker 2: It's it's it's just ridiculous. So these what I don't

470
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,559
understand why this this thing we bought doesn't have like

471
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,000
normal appliances. It's got all kinds of fancy stuff that

472
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,240
that don't work for normal people. Maybe yeah, no, I

473
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:50,759
don't get it.

474
00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:55,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get it either. I would probably go

475
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,680
down to Walmart by myself a sixty nine dollars micat

476
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:02,599
wave exactly. Show Yeah, put the other one away in

477
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,920
a box somewhere Christ present for one of the kids.

478
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking here, Rekift, This fancy Mirco is

479
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,599
a really fancy name. One. I've got a replace it

480
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,319
of a sixty nine dollars Walmart thing.

481
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: So oh yeah, sponsored by orbal Rittenbucker Ruh exactly. So.

482
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: I got a couple of other questions observations that I

483
00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:26,720
made after watching some games this weekend. Look, I know

484
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,519
Zach Galen was once a really good picture, in fact,

485
00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:32,680
a very good picture, but last year was rough. This

486
00:27:32,839 --> 00:27:34,920
year it's been I don't know if you're following what

487
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,319
Zach Galen's doing. It is in May and June a

488
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,440
seven to seventy six ear. He's got thirty five strikeouts

489
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,480
and fifty one and he's striking out less than six

490
00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:48,240
per nine. My question to you is why are people

491
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,200
still holding on to him? Is it just because he's

492
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,279
Zach Galen he can't be this bad? Or is it

493
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,279
just time to move on?

494
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: Well, the reason people are holding on to him is

495
00:27:56,519 --> 00:27:59,480
because the only two options that they had for the

496
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:06,359
weekend Zach Galen and Steve Cooleck. What do you mean

497
00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:13,319
Colick allowed niner and runs at the Gallant. Okay, that's

498
00:28:13,319 --> 00:28:16,119
why they're holding. You don't have any choices or any options.

499
00:28:16,319 --> 00:28:20,759
Find a middle reliever, find right, Okay, yeah, fine, find

500
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:23,200
somebody that's not going to find as shit. You can't

501
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,240
sustain on your fantasy squad a two month ARAT of

502
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,359
a full time starter that's over seven. You are going

503
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,079
to find yourself. You're going to find yourself in the

504
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,720
bottom three spots in the ARRA. Yeah, Zach.

505
00:28:38,119 --> 00:28:41,599
Speaker 2: I got one league and I hadn't started him for weeks,

506
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,440
and he had a pretty juicy pretty I forgot who

507
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,519
It was a pretty juicy matchup, and he just kept

508
00:28:46,519 --> 00:28:48,000
blown up, and.

509
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:48,559
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm done.

510
00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: I'm done here.

511
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to be done, I think rich. Yeah,

512
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:55,720
Or what happens is galant. He'll go out and he'll

513
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,799
pitch a gym against affiliates, right, and his next start

514
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,240
is uh is against the Marlins, and you'll allow niner

515
00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:06,799
and runs. You'll suck you in for the easy suppose

516
00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:10,480
it easy start and just continue blowing up your ear race.

517
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:16,599
So yeah, I think it's time, Hey, cut bait, move on.

518
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: I love it. Part of the reason I like playing

519
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:23,240
in so many leagues. I love the emotion that you

520
00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:27,279
see him on owners right, so you'll see zach Gal

521
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,279
getting blown up in the middle of this game. Somebody

522
00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:35,279
will drop him. It's just so fantastic. Who was that.

523
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: Player that was cut when we were doing the podcast?

524
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,559
It was right jury of the podcast. There was only

525
00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:40,079
a few weeks.

526
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,839
Speaker 2: It was Andrew Kittridge.

527
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we were talking. We were talking on the

528
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,400
podcast and you'll low and the old somebody cut him

529
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,000
right then and there. Perfect.

530
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:54,839
Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, so I started and I can't battle me

531
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,680
because he was terrible coming into it, but this was

532
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,359
a legitimate time. If you can't start z Gamalon against

533
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,720
the Twins, then there's really no point in having him.

534
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:07,640
He for four innings pitch, he gave up nine earned runs.

535
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,680
He got two strikeouts, gave up nine earned runs.

536
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, yeah that two strikeos you can get

537
00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:17,000
out of any middle reliever on a bad day.

538
00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hasn't. He hasn't given up. So there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

539
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:29,720
eight nine his last nine starts he hasn't given He hasn't.

540
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:32,480
He only gave up two earned runs on the eighteenth.

541
00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:36,839
Otherwise it's three or more and no, no, not one

542
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,000
outing goes over five innings.

543
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:44,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I don't know what happened, but it did,

544
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,839
and all you can do is react to it and

545
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:49,519
move on. It's as simple as that.

546
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: By Buddy Alma. Rodriguez got a spot start today, pitched

547
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,160
ok until he got roughed up a little bit, and

548
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,480
so he's still not quite ready yet. But I guess

549
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:02,920
the thing I have to ask you is they backed

550
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,279
up Cole's start tomorrow.

551
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:06,559
Speaker 3: Yes.

552
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: Should we be concerned about that? Or is that just

553
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,880
the Yankees trying to do the right thing to not

554
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:12,960
overtax him.

555
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: I'll go with I'll go with auption be there. Yeah,

556
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,799
he's coming. He's coming off major surgery. They need him

557
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:28,880
for September October. Okay, they need him for the playoffs

558
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,279
is what they need. So there'll be I think they're

559
00:31:31,319 --> 00:31:33,599
being cautious, and I think there's nothing wrong with that.

560
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:37,759
You know, when once the Dodgers clinched the division, are

561
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:40,119
they going to be starting O TWI every fifth sixth day. No,

562
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,960
they'll they'll be. They'll push him back a little bit,

563
00:31:43,039 --> 00:31:45,880
and I think most veteran pitchers will be in that

564
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:51,079
same situation. You know, Hey, once once you get into August.

565
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:54,400
There are teams that are going to be wrapping up

566
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,480
their their playoff their playoffs situation, teams are going to

567
00:31:59,559 --> 00:32:02,359
get rest. And the Yankees, with Cole coming off that

568
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,440
surgery and just getting back, pushing him back a day

569
00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:07,039
or two, I think is a smart thing to do.

570
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: I mean the elephant in the room with Garrett Cole

571
00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:12,559
as well. I mean it's again, it's a two fifty

572
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:17,119
seven era. He's pitched well, but he's only struck out

573
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:21,119
seven point seven per nine, right, and it's a guy

574
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,319
whose secondary stuff is not quite back yet. As we

575
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,680
start to turn our attention to the second half to

576
00:32:27,799 --> 00:32:32,480
twenty twenty seven, you're gotta be bullish on Garrett Cole

577
00:32:32,759 --> 00:32:38,240
or still a little squeamish going into the draft.

578
00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: All of I'll like him as a number two, a

579
00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:46,519
strong number two, but not an ace, I don't think. Yeah,

580
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:50,279
he's also not getting any younger. He's thirty five, So yeah,

581
00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:55,599
I was gonna say, yeah, I would look at twenty

582
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,440
to twenty five very good starts at Garrett Cole, and

583
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,599
that's what I'm going to sort of be planning around

584
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,839
hitting into next year.

585
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just worried about the you know the stuff.

586
00:33:08,039 --> 00:33:10,599
I mean, he's still throwing it hard, but I mean, look,

587
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,200
not a if you're striking out seven point seven per nine.

588
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,519
So if he throws two hundred innings, which is great,

589
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,480
I mean you're talking one hundred and forty strikeouts. One

590
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:22,319
hundred and fifty strikeouts, Yeah, which isn't great.

591
00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:24,559
Speaker 3: No, I think he'll get it. I think he'll get

592
00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:27,079
it back to just a little bit less than a strikeover.

593
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,079
Speaker 2: Any Okay, I hope you're right. Let's move on the Jackson.

594
00:33:31,119 --> 00:33:33,960
Holiday leave Saturday's game with a grind injury. I think

595
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,039
the Orioles are playing the Dodgers, so I don't know

596
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:37,880
if he's been put.

597
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:41,359
Speaker 3: On the ael or not. But uh, I haven't seen

598
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,119
anything yet.

599
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: So do you do something this evening to grab somebody

600
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,440
in his stead for next week? Or do you just

601
00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,480
roll the dice and say, hey, Holiday is going to

602
00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:52,880
be fine.

603
00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:56,839
Speaker 3: Well, I think the problem with trying to grab somebody

604
00:33:57,319 --> 00:34:02,279
is we know what Baltimore is going to do pretty well,

605
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,839
and they got they got Jeremiah Jackson that they can

606
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:08,039
put in there, and they can shuffle a deck around

607
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:11,760
a little bit, maybe get Blaze Alexander to play some

608
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,159
of the time. So unless you're looking at one of

609
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:19,360
those two players right now, I don't see any rush

610
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,719
like for the waiver wire to add somebody, because I

611
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,599
think the players are already there. It's got to be

612
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:27,719
one of those two guys.

613
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:31,119
Speaker 2: If you're in a fantasy league with holidays or second baseman,

614
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,760
are you worried that he's going to miss the week

615
00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:36,280
and so you want to pick up somebody. I guess

616
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,320
that's what I'm saying.

617
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, if if there are options out there and you

618
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:46,000
have room, sure, but I sure wouldn't. We don't even

619
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,400
know if he's going to miss time yet. You know,

620
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,760
maybe we'll know later in the day. They from what

621
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,239
I can read, they seem to believe that they caught

622
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,480
whatever the problem was before it became a big problem.

623
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,039
But if it comes, if it comes, if it comes

624
00:35:01,079 --> 00:35:04,360
to if it comes to Monday, well hey, if you

625
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,639
got twice week, we moved, throw somebody in for the

626
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:09,440
first half of the week. I didn't need to wait

627
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,039
to see more information, and hopefully we'll get it.

628
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 2: You probably didn't hear the tone of my skeptic Yeah,

629
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,000
uh huh. This week, go back to Randy. We can

630
00:35:19,039 --> 00:35:21,320
go back to Randy Rosarene. Just this past week, Randy

631
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,119
Rosearene and somebody else who had a Bruce flood and

632
00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:26,800
he was, oh the guy Angel Martinez.

633
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,199
Speaker 3: Bruce broken food. They're close. They both start with B right.

634
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes these these mild injuries, mild hamstrings turn into

635
00:35:39,199 --> 00:35:42,320
you know, a Grade three ham string. He's gone for

636
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,119
the season, so I don't know.

637
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like micro day to day.

638
00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:52,119
Speaker 2: So were we wrong on holiday entering? This is we

639
00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:54,719
both were pretty excited about him and the potential. But

640
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,880
it's nothing good. I mean, it's two hundred batting average,

641
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,239
has four home runs and three stolen bases. Is he

642
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,320
just not completely? I mean, did he get so far

643
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,840
off track with the handmaid surgery that he hasn't a

644
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,079
chance just to come back as what we thought? And

645
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,920
this is just some growing pains or is there something

646
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,400
more to be concerned with here?

647
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 3: I think it's a combination of growing pains and the

648
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:23,159
fact that not everybody heals the same way. Okay, you

649
00:36:23,199 --> 00:36:31,159
know that Handmaide situation. We've seen some recover very very

650
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:35,440
quickly and do very very well. And holiday halfway through

651
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,159
his rehab he had another issue come up, I believe,

652
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,039
and he was pulled from his rehab and then he

653
00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:43,840
went back to it. I think it was hand pain

654
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,440
or wrisk pain or something right, So it's not a

655
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:53,239
real even recovery from that injury, and I think that's

656
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,280
playing on it. I am not overly concerned about jackson

657
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,639
holiday long term, think that most of what we're seeing

658
00:37:01,679 --> 00:37:05,239
now is knocking the rust off and that slow recovery

659
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,519
from the AMMI theory. Tim.

660
00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:10,159
Speaker 2: I got a note from our patroon remember if you

661
00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:12,400
want to join us at the Patreon site. Everyone, it's

662
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,920
btr o n dot com Forward slash Prospect three sixty one.

663
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,199
Tim is moving around telling dad jokes on the on

664
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,280
the discord site, and I'm just trying to manage everybody's

665
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,280
everybody else's questions and we're having a lot of fun

666
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,719
and hopefully people are getting a lot of value from it.

667
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,320
But I got a note from someone who said, I

668
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,800
think it was buddy Tim Weber, that he's surprised at

669
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,039
the power that Travis Bazana is showing, and I kind

670
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:42,280
of wanted to I had two home runs last night,

671
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:44,679
I believe, and I think that's probably where his question

672
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,159
was coming from. I kind of always saw him as

673
00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:49,280
like a fifteen home run guy. I don't see any

674
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,920
reason to up that. Maybe a little bit that will

675
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,280
add a little bit more pop. But what's your take

676
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,880
on Travis Bazana's start to his career and what do

677
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,599
you you see for him now long term of what

678
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:04,920
we've seen over the first couple of months.

679
00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:07,519
Speaker 3: Well, the first thing I would I would sort of

680
00:38:07,639 --> 00:38:13,559
question is because of the the injury Jose Ramirez, is

681
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:15,800
Bizanna trying to do a little bit more from a

682
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:20,880
power perspective. Maybe he's not that Yeah, maybe he's not

683
00:38:21,079 --> 00:38:25,599
that player, and maybe he has looked at you know,

684
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,480
maybe maybe Cleveland's asking him, okay, to attempt to hit

685
00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:33,800
for more power. I don't know, because let's face it,

686
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,119
with Ramirez out of the lineup and Angel Martinez who

687
00:38:37,519 --> 00:38:39,719
had what nine homers in about the same number of

688
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:50,280
stolen bases, Cleveland's got no power in that lineup, do they? Yeah? Yeah,

689
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,800
it's maybe they're asking him to do a little bit

690
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,639
more in that direction. I agree with you. I think

691
00:38:56,639 --> 00:39:01,159
he's a fifteen fifteen home run type where the hit

692
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,800
tool is going to be his It's going to be

693
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,760
his long term key to success. And I think what

694
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,599
he does best getting on base. Yeah, he's going to steal.

695
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,920
He's going to steal bases, not huge bases, but yeah,

696
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,960
I'm fifteen to twenty type guy.

697
00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's a good player, right.

698
00:39:19,119 --> 00:39:22,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a very very good player. But I don't

699
00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:27,599
see him ever hitting forty home runs thirty home runs, but.

700
00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, he could sneak in twenty home runs

701
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,800
in a season. I think he's like a fifteen ish

702
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,960
type of guy who's going to hit with some speed.

703
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,119
That's kind of player. That's a good player. I mean,

704
00:39:39,159 --> 00:39:42,880
I I yeah, I think as you're penciling in your

705
00:39:43,079 --> 00:39:47,079
fantasy charts for next year, I think putting in more

706
00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:49,559
for Travis Bizan it's probably a mistake. I mean, I

707
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:52,159
think these guys are who they are. It just doesn't

708
00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:56,079
have the physicality eighty nine mile hour eggs, velocity, et cetera,

709
00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:59,280
et cetera. All that kind of points to what we're

710
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,360
seeing the play or do, which is good.

711
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's it's sort of this whole thing leads

712
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:10,119
leads me to sort of thinking about Gunzales in Pittsburgh.

713
00:40:10,599 --> 00:40:14,800
M hm, okay, hit the hit too was fine. He

714
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,800
decided he wanted to muscle muscle him out for big

715
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,360
power that he really honestly didn't have. Now he's gone

716
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,920
back to being the nick Gunzalez we expected him to be,

717
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,800
and he's playing very very well. So I don't I

718
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,559
don't think tinkering too much with bizan or long term

719
00:40:30,559 --> 00:40:35,000
would prove to be something that would generate successful results.

720
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. I also kind of tumbling down with that say

721
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,000
that sometimes you hope for a player and wish for

722
00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:47,199
a player, it's just a it's an exercising futility. I mean,

723
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,079
it's if it's not in the player's you know, kind

724
00:40:51,079 --> 00:40:53,679
of profile. I mean, you can wait and you can

725
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,159
want all you want, but it's he.

726
00:40:56,119 --> 00:40:59,159
Speaker 3: Is who he is, right, So yeah, the old adage,

727
00:40:59,199 --> 00:41:01,039
if it's not broken, don't fix it.

728
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,199
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, speaking of Gonzales, can we talk about

729
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,159
Jacob Gonzales.

730
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:14,199
Speaker 3: Jacob Gonzalez. Isn't he the guy that replaced Murakami in Chicago.

731
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,559
Speaker 2: Sixteen first sixteen games? You got the one home run

732
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:22,199
sitting one eighty two, obviously two fifty slog not it's

733
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:28,159
been disappointing, disappointing to the fact of just drop him

734
00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:32,320
or is this a guy that maybe just needs to

735
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,800
get acclimated, and he's going to be a little bit

736
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:35,840
better than what he's showing.

737
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,159
Speaker 3: I think Win's acclamated, He's going to be a little

738
00:41:40,199 --> 00:41:45,360
bit better than he's showing now. They Chicago did bring

739
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,639
up Junior Perez and I passed on the waiver wire.

740
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:54,079
But what are your thoughts ken on Perez? Is is

741
00:41:54,119 --> 00:42:00,280
he a guy that could potentially, through shuffling the echo

742
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,239
a little bit, affect Jacob Gonzalez.

743
00:42:05,199 --> 00:42:07,519
Speaker 2: Is he going to play first base? I mean he's

744
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:09,360
early an outfielder.

745
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, yeah, could that be in the cards? I

746
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:14,239
don't know.

747
00:42:14,679 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if look, I'm going to memory, Junior

748
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,840
Perez is never He's always struck out way too much.

749
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,559
I mean I think I've always remember him striking out

750
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:25,760
a third of the time, least going back to the

751
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,119
memory as fading as I get a little older. But

752
00:42:28,159 --> 00:42:30,679
that's that was always my concern. He's got a little

753
00:42:30,679 --> 00:42:33,400
bit of power. I think he when he was with Oakland,

754
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,159
didn't he hit like twenty somehow, twenty plus on runs,

755
00:42:37,159 --> 00:42:40,679
twenty plus stolen bases. He's couldn't hit and I game

756
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,840
going back, I think that's who the player is. But

757
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,400
quite Frankly, that's who the White Sox. Love him or

758
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,079
hate him or love them. This is how they've been surviving.

759
00:42:49,159 --> 00:42:51,599
They just throwing out guys that just hit balls a

760
00:42:51,639 --> 00:42:54,920
long way, and maybe Junior Perez is yet another one

761
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,199
of those guys. I mean, they haven't really cared about

762
00:42:57,199 --> 00:42:58,039
contact at all.

763
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you look Junior Pez, I'm just looking back

764
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,159
at his numbers. Twelve home runs in twenty three, one

765
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:09,079
hundred and fifty strikeouts and four thirty four at bats. Yeah,

766
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,920
he's always struck out a ton, and looking at twenty

767
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,159
twenty six eighty six, I'm just adding quickly here, eighty

768
00:43:18,199 --> 00:43:23,679
six strikeouts in just over two hundred at bats.

769
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:24,559
Speaker 2: That's a lot.

770
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a big number. That's why I didn't include

771
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,920
him this week because I don't think with that hit tool,

772
00:43:34,559 --> 00:43:36,760
he's never hit more than fifteen home runs and that

773
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,800
was an enable, stole a lot of bases, but didn't

774
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,519
hit for the buck, didn't it for much, Bob, you know, twell, fourteen.

775
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,199
Speaker 2: So let's look at Jacob Gonzalez. I mean we kind

776
00:43:48,199 --> 00:43:50,320
of warned everybody with I'm going to memory, I think

777
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,199
it was eighteen home runs or something like that.

778
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 3: Trip Tola. I mean the Charlotte effector.

779
00:43:55,679 --> 00:43:59,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Charlotte's a huge hit or spark. He's got

780
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,760
an jacksonvillast in the early going eighty eight point five

781
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,360
launch agle fifteen point four. That's enough to be a

782
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,599
fifteen home run guy. There's no speed, and I think

783
00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:12,880
he hits a little bit. I think, yeah, I mean

784
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,239
that's kind of who the guy.

785
00:44:14,199 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: Is right well, and what are the options in Chicago

786
00:44:18,079 --> 00:44:20,360
right now? He's got a little bit of time, I think.

787
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,920
I don't think they're going to be Yeah, the White

788
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:28,320
Sox are playing good baseball and Montgomery Montgomery Inc. Is

789
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,000
getting it done Ben and Tendy and Miguill Vargas, and

790
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,119
to not achieve, yeah, I think they exercise in patience

791
00:44:35,119 --> 00:44:36,159
with Jacobzallas.

792
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 2: I think long term, if Jacob Gonzale stays at first base,

793
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,599
that's not going to work from the fantasy standpoint. There's

794
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,280
not enough enough power there. It feels a lot. It

795
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,199
feels a lot like Nolan Shandy.

796
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 3: Well to me, Yeah, I'm looking I'm looking at Triple

797
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,159
A and the only you know, they got Dustin Harris

798
00:44:54,199 --> 00:44:57,519
down there. But Nolan Jones can play some first base.

799
00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:05,280
But this Corey the like, Yeah, there there's not a

800
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,320
lot of options that I think they won't exercise patients,

801
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:09,880
especially with the team playing well.

802
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yep, agree, Tommy. Let's take a break. Oh,

803
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:17,480
I got one more question Jordan Lawler. That was the

804
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:21,199
last Tim and I talked about Jordan Lawler got on

805
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,320
the air. It's just it's sad to me. I don't

806
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,079
know what else to say. I mean, yeah, I kind

807
00:45:26,079 --> 00:45:29,639
of compared him a lot to Akunya and Bush from

808
00:45:29,639 --> 00:45:32,960
a health standpoint. But at least we know Akunyon Bucks

809
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,119
and are great baseball players. We have no idea what

810
00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:38,079
Jordan Lawler could do because he's never stayed healthy enough.

811
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 3: To know he's ahead of the curve from a health

812
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,880
perspective or lack thereof.

813
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,519
Speaker 2: Outside I don't need to say anymore.

814
00:45:48,519 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 3: It's crazy, No, Yeah, it's just the most recent when

815
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:52,360
the hamstring.

816
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 2: It's a hamstring which you know should be back in

817
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,519
a few weeks. But if if you're in charge of

818
00:46:00,559 --> 00:46:05,119
the Arizona Diamondbacks at some point, you just got to

819
00:46:05,159 --> 00:46:06,960
you got a list over there that says you can't

820
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,400
trust this guy and either move them or do something.

821
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,199
I mean, you can't I think he's just going to

822
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,920
get left by the wayside, be my guess.

823
00:46:17,679 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 3: You know, the hams string is connected to the ankle bone,

824
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,079
the ankle bones connected to the towbone, and the hamstring

825
00:46:23,119 --> 00:46:26,079
going in the other direction. There's who knows. It's just

826
00:46:26,119 --> 00:46:32,159
been one injury after another. And how do you You

827
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,400
got to feel for the guy right now. I think

828
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,239
it's very fair to say he just cannot stay healthy.

829
00:46:40,559 --> 00:46:43,840
With all the skills talent in the world, you got

830
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,519
to get on the field every once in while and

831
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,360
show it off right, And unfortunately for him and I

832
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,880
feel for him, it's not happening.

833
00:46:53,159 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: And look that the world does not stay still. I

834
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,760
mean there are players that are getting better in the

835
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,119
minor leagues that are going to come and take his

836
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,039
job and then all of a sudden, he's going to

837
00:47:03,079 --> 00:47:03,599
be buried.

838
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:09,639
Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't know. I almost I almost came, Yeah,

839
00:47:09,679 --> 00:47:12,920
I almost came close to bringing up Tommy the Tank, Okay,

840
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,880
who has hit four home runs in his past three games.

841
00:47:16,119 --> 00:47:23,039
He's finally showing some power. But at some point I'm yeah.

842
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 2: You see, he's on my hot Prospect of the week.

843
00:47:23,519 --> 00:47:28,039
I just right about I think that's his nickname Tommy

844
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:28,679
the Tank.

845
00:47:29,079 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 3: Tommy the Tank, Tommy Tommy White. Yeah. I got into

846
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,800
trouble in a in a draft last March because I

847
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,199
drafted Tommy White. I was told he's already rostered, and

848
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,679
I said, no, he's not. That's Thomas, not Tommy.

849
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So I.

850
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:48,639
Speaker 3: Put Tommy the tank and the take in and it

851
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,559
cleared it up there rather quickly. Who's timing the the

852
00:47:51,559 --> 00:47:53,639
guy who had eight hundred home runs for that college

853
00:47:53,639 --> 00:47:54,800
team years ago? That guy?

854
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,679
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, so let me read you what I wrote.

855
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 3: Okay, curious, I've.

856
00:48:01,079 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 2: Down shifted on Tommy White, given the lack of leverage

857
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,079
in a swing, the overly aggressive approach, and the growing

858
00:48:06,119 --> 00:48:10,400
platoon splits. He crushes lefties, but I'm starting to worry

859
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,679
that worry that might end up being his primary role

860
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,159
once he reaches the major league. So that's my intro.

861
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,559
And then down in the body, I right, Tommy White,

862
00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:22,119
the Athletics first pick in the second round of the

863
00:48:22,119 --> 00:48:25,360
twenty twenty four draft, has yet to show the same

864
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,079
thunderous power that was my AI engine. Put that word

865
00:48:28,119 --> 00:48:32,519
in thunderous means thunderous power. Explain in college where he

866
00:48:32,559 --> 00:48:35,679
posted home run totals of twenty seven, twenty four, and

867
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,119
twenty four across three seasons, the last two at LSU.

868
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,159
The ex of lastegers are still well above average, but

869
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,760
he's still hitting too many balls in the ground, and

870
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,880
when he does elevate, his average launch angles just eight

871
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,679
point two degrees. Until he lifts the ball more consistently

872
00:48:51,119 --> 00:48:53,679
here will remain more of a doubles hitter. So let's

873
00:48:54,119 --> 00:48:56,119
there's no speed. So I got him as a twenty

874
00:48:56,159 --> 00:48:58,480
twenty five home round guy with a two to sixty

875
00:48:58,559 --> 00:49:04,039
batting average, and watch efforts on base percentage because he

876
00:49:04,159 --> 00:49:04,840
never walks.

877
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 3: No, I was going to say, there's no speed, and

878
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:11,639
watch out for the back hole that will be needed

879
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,639
to fill in the hole if he ever decides to run. Yep,

880
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,360
he's a big yeah, he's a big boy. Yeah.

881
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,679
Speaker 2: All right, Timmy, let's let's break come back into your

882
00:49:20,679 --> 00:49:21,800
waiver where my friend.

883
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:33,559
Speaker 3: Okay, it sounds like fun now.

884
00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 2: My Hot Prospects of the Week on Tuesday for our

885
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,039
Patreon members is going to be good because there are

886
00:49:39,079 --> 00:49:41,679
a lot of not famous guys on the list, and

887
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,440
I think that's what people love. Everybody knows, you know,

888
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,480
the famous guys and they're good. But when you start

889
00:49:48,519 --> 00:49:51,679
to pull up some guys that who's this, I think

890
00:49:51,679 --> 00:49:52,639
that's what it gets fun.

891
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

892
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:54,119
Speaker 2: I tried to do that.

893
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 3: Yes, we we discussed one before we went on air.

894
00:49:57,559 --> 00:50:01,280
And I'm looking, I'm looking. I'm looking for dude doing

895
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,960
some digging this evening. Because again I didn't have a

896
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,920
clue that's that's your gig Rich. I just read the

897
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:14,360
emails as they come flowing through, and there are some

898
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:19,000
great emails there really are people should be subscribing just

899
00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:22,599
for your hot prospects. The guys off off the radar,

900
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,320
because like you said, everybody knows the guys on the radar,

901
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,840
that's not a problem. They're finding the guys that are

902
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,599
breaking out okay and showing a change in skills that

903
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,360
you know. It's hey, that's important you get these guys now,

904
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:39,880
or somebody else will.

905
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,639
Speaker 2: I will say, it's when I see we have to

906
00:50:43,639 --> 00:50:45,440
do a list like this, or want to do a

907
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,000
list like this. It takes a lot more time because

908
00:50:48,039 --> 00:50:50,280
I don't know the players that well. I got to

909
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,400
research the player. I've got to look up the data

910
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,880
and sometimes I've got to go beg for some non

911
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,880
stat cast data to find out. You know what kind

912
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:04,159
of interests are throwing. I gotta watch games just to

913
00:51:04,199 --> 00:51:07,920
come up with two paragraphs. Yeah, I spent an hour

914
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,840
and a half researching the guy for two paragraphs. But

915
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,760
the job I've selected to them. So that's what that

916
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:20,519
is a crossic bear exactly to me. I think your

917
00:51:20,519 --> 00:51:23,719
waiver wires pretty darn good. But you thought it was

918
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,760
challenging to put together, tell us about it.

919
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I pulled out what little hair I had had

920
00:51:29,519 --> 00:51:32,199
left trying to scrape through and pull up names. Today,

921
00:51:32,199 --> 00:51:35,000
I think I pulled up some interesting names. But at

922
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,920
the same point in time, it was one of those

923
00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:41,280
weeks where, yeah, I'm currently having trouble sitting rich because

924
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,559
I worked my ass off. Okay, I don't know where

925
00:51:44,559 --> 00:51:46,199
it went. It was a tough week.

926
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,199
Speaker 2: Well, if you lost your ass in the process, that's

927
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,079
not that's a win, right, So.

928
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 3: No comment, there's an opportunity. I'm no comment. I'm zipping it. Okay.

929
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,079
Speaker 2: So the other thing that we've done, at least I've done,

930
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:06,039
is now that we've got enough data from Tim McLeod

931
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,800
and all, my AI assistant now knows how Tim Wrights

932
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,679
knows that to edit Tim's material and knows kind of

933
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,440
how Tim thanks and can scan the internet as well.

934
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,559
We've also got I've asked the AI assist that we'll

935
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:24,559
do this. At the end, all the guy's Tim lists

936
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:26,719
who are the two guys that he would pick up

937
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,440
and based on that. So I thought that was kind

938
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,480
of fascinating and I kind of liked what the guy

939
00:52:31,519 --> 00:52:32,280
came up with.

940
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 3: So uh as do I? Yeah, it was cool.

941
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great. So it's it's fun that you've got

942
00:52:39,079 --> 00:52:43,079
Tim writing the content and then further analysis being done

943
00:52:43,119 --> 00:52:45,840
by an AI assistant who looks at what he's saying

944
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,920
and goes, ah, this is what this is what I

945
00:52:49,119 --> 00:52:52,280
like from it, which I think is pretty cool. So Timmy,

946
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,559
we go for your first name, Josh Bell, which I

947
00:52:54,639 --> 00:52:56,239
laughed out loud when I saw his name.

948
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, if he's hot, you got to put him in

949
00:53:00,159 --> 00:53:03,519
your lineup because the O for sixty four is on

950
00:53:03,679 --> 00:53:08,840
its way. So yeah, well yeah again I took a

951
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,559
look and I laughed as well. You know, he had

952
00:53:11,559 --> 00:53:16,079
a two homer Gay Day on May eighteen, then he

953
00:53:16,119 --> 00:53:19,679
went totally quiet until June seventh, and now he's back

954
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,639
two Omber seven RBIs in the past five games. Hey,

955
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,119
pick him up this week and hope you get another

956
00:53:25,159 --> 00:53:27,000
week out of him before he goes quiet again for

957
00:53:27,079 --> 00:53:28,199
due to three weeks.

958
00:53:28,639 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 2: It's it's really really but he's going to wind up

959
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,639
with eighteen to twenty home runs. That's just what he's

960
00:53:32,639 --> 00:53:35,440
going to do. And you know that's that's that float

961
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,440
your boat. That's what you're gonna get with Josh Bell.

962
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's close to fifty RB. Eyes he's been. He's

963
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,000
been generating OURBI numbers all year pretty much. Yeah, so

964
00:53:45,119 --> 00:53:48,639
twenty three percent rostered for close to fifty RBIs happay

965
00:53:48,639 --> 00:53:50,639
through the year. He should have a little bit more

966
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:51,960
love than twenty three percent.

967
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,280
Speaker 2: I agree, it's just again, I have studied Josh Bell

968
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:00,760
because I've owned him for years. What's frustrating is day

969
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,159
after day after day seeing overs and you just as

970
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,159
soon as you drop him or taken out of the line,

971
00:54:07,159 --> 00:54:10,400
and that's when he does something and you just you

972
00:54:10,519 --> 00:54:12,960
it's gotta close your eyes. He's at nine home runs

973
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,679
forty seven, he's on pace for twenty one hundred.

974
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 3: Yes he is, yeah, yeah, but with a.

975
00:54:20,679 --> 00:54:24,559
Speaker 2: Two forty seven batting average, which isn't great, but for

976
00:54:24,599 --> 00:54:27,559
a corner infielder, you could do a lot worse than that.

977
00:54:29,159 --> 00:54:32,119
Speaker 3: Yes, believe you me, you could. I'm proving it. Yes,

978
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,639
Black Gerrera Junior or anybody. Sorry, there you go.

979
00:54:38,119 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 2: Tim is bitter, Andrew been attendee. I am struggling with

980
00:54:41,519 --> 00:54:44,559
this one. Yeah, yeah, you know what.

981
00:54:45,679 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 3: I'm happy because I finally, finally totally stumped your assistant. Okay,

982
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:58,840
I put no Benny no longer brings the jets.

983
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,519
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, he said Benny no longer brings speed to

984
00:55:02,559 --> 00:55:03,000
the table.

985
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 3: Yes, Benny and the Jets, Elton John.

986
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 2: I know I got it.

987
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he changed it to no longer bring speed. Sorry,

988
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,280
AI assistant, you don't know music.

989
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,559
Speaker 2: That's true. That's true. I should have called that when

990
00:55:18,599 --> 00:55:21,480
that was actually a very good pun. I apologize on

991
00:55:21,519 --> 00:55:22,119
his behalf.

992
00:55:23,559 --> 00:55:26,760
Speaker 3: Ah, that's okay. I just wanted to. Yeah, hey, the

993
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:27,800
proofs into pudding.

994
00:55:28,079 --> 00:55:30,599
Speaker 2: He might have been a shot at you, going, why

995
00:55:30,599 --> 00:55:31,840
the hell are you putting Andrew pen.

996
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 3: On this list? That could be true. That could be

997
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,039
very true too. Yes, because he's got six homers. He's

998
00:55:39,039 --> 00:55:41,639
got two homers, six RBIs and the thirteen O one

999
00:55:41,679 --> 00:55:46,320
ops and the best sweet you're looking for you're looking

1000
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:50,480
for somebody to feel to fill an outfield hole. Okay,

1001
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,679
give him a look, he's gonna play. He's hot.

1002
00:55:55,199 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 2: Here's an oldie but goodie, Walker Peeler.

1003
00:55:58,679 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one sort of sort of surprised me. But

1004
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,400
you look at what he's doing, and in the past

1005
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:12,039
four starts he's only a lot of four and runs. Okay,

1006
00:56:12,599 --> 00:56:16,639
it's struck O twenty two who he definitely deserves a

1007
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,000
little bit more love in a pitching shorted world, the

1008
00:56:20,039 --> 00:56:23,039
one we live in than the thirty three percent roster

1009
00:56:23,199 --> 00:56:26,679
at CBS. He's been pitching well in you very well.

1010
00:56:27,039 --> 00:56:30,599
I don't think it's not it's not Walker Buehler of

1011
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,880
old it's Walker Buehler of new. But he's getting it done.

1012
00:56:34,119 --> 00:56:36,400
And that's what we need right about now, right.

1013
00:56:38,519 --> 00:56:40,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you need anything time. I mean, as

1014
00:56:40,679 --> 00:56:43,119
we know, we've been talking about pitching all season long,

1015
00:56:43,199 --> 00:56:46,320
and it's it's been tough. It's just been really tough.

1016
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has.

1017
00:56:49,119 --> 00:56:52,639
Speaker 2: Here's a good one, Jose Cabrera, who is kind of

1018
00:56:53,519 --> 00:56:56,840
almost getting to the point of career. Minor league again,

1019
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,800
a guy from the Dominican so but he's been out

1020
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,840
there starting the DSL and was I think he was well,

1021
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,320
he was twenty twenty one. He was drafted, so he's

1022
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,719
been kicking around for five years and was about ready

1023
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:09,880
to make his major league debut.

1024
00:57:11,039 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 3: Well, hey, you look at the Diamondbacks rotation. Okay before

1025
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,480
today in calling up Cabrera, they're down to three starters

1026
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,639
and using the term starter in Zach Galen in the

1027
00:57:24,679 --> 00:57:27,960
same sentence is probably oxymoron is sho. Okay, you got

1028
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,559
Merrill Kelly, who's thirty seven going on thirty their age.

1029
00:57:31,559 --> 00:57:36,039
You got Edward or Rodriguez Galen, they had, they had

1030
00:57:36,199 --> 00:57:39,719
along with Jordan Lawler. They had Ryan Nilson and Michael

1031
00:57:39,719 --> 00:57:42,320
Siroca both hit the il towards the end of the week.

1032
00:57:43,159 --> 00:57:47,920
Uh five, five into into four. Because I'm not counting

1033
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,079
Zach Allen. The Diamondbacks have got problems big time. The

1034
00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:56,719
one thing, if I recall looking at Cabrera, I like

1035
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,800
the fact that I don't know what to expect. Okay,

1036
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:04,559
I really don't, but the walk rate was down a

1037
00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:08,920
little bit this year, and that gives me pause for

1038
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,480
maybe there's a bit more there than a number five

1039
00:58:16,159 --> 00:58:17,440
type starter. Yeah.

1040
00:58:17,519 --> 00:58:23,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, See, he's got decent stuff fastball, slider, sinker, change up, cutter,

1041
00:58:23,159 --> 00:58:25,719
so it throws any curveball, throws a lot of stuff,

1042
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:31,280
primarily a sinker slider. Guy sinker averages ninety four miles

1043
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,199
an hour, gets a ton of ground balls with it,

1044
00:58:33,599 --> 00:58:37,159
and a decent slider that misses some bat So I

1045
00:58:37,199 --> 00:58:39,159
mean change up could be a little bit better. So

1046
00:58:39,719 --> 00:58:43,960
some splits going on here, but otherwise, I mean he's effective.

1047
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,519
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and you look at the numbers he posted

1048
00:58:47,559 --> 00:58:51,360
in Reno, Okay, and it was a pinch shy of

1049
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,239
four for the area with the one nineteen. In a

1050
00:58:54,239 --> 00:58:56,599
real park, that's probably a two in one point eight.

1051
00:58:57,039 --> 00:59:01,239
Speaker 2: Uh, you're right. Arena is a very challenging place to pitch,

1052
00:59:01,679 --> 00:59:02,159
no question.

1053
00:59:02,239 --> 00:59:06,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Yeah, it's tough. So basically what I'm saying

1054
00:59:06,719 --> 00:59:12,159
is he's pitching today, see what happens and bit accordingly, Okay,

1055
00:59:12,519 --> 00:59:14,519
sort of go from therebody's in the name it that

1056
00:59:14,559 --> 00:59:16,239
I felt had to be brought. They're going to keep

1057
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,599
him around for a few starts, I think. So give

1058
00:59:20,119 --> 00:59:27,280
is he pitching? Ah? Who is he pitching against? Today? Arizona?

1059
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:33,119
They got the twins and Josh Bell.

1060
00:59:34,559 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, because we just talked about what Zach

1061
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,000
Galen did. Let's see if there's any splits with mister

1062
00:59:40,079 --> 00:59:46,639
Cabrera before we get too excited. Here splits twenty twenty six.

1063
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,119
Speaker 3: Let's see what's going on here.

1064
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, left handed hitters city slugging four thirty six

1065
00:59:58,559 --> 01:00:02,239
versus right right hand and it hitters three thirty one.

1066
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,400
So this again, the data show that change up wasn't

1067
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,119
as good asn't throw it very often, so I'm not

1068
01:00:08,199 --> 01:00:10,719
surprised that he's got some splits going on there. So

1069
01:00:11,119 --> 01:00:13,239
he needs a better change up. But I mean again,

1070
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:18,119
the slider fastball was very good last year. Last year

1071
01:00:18,559 --> 01:00:22,519
a sorry last year. Left handed batters hit slut five

1072
01:00:22,719 --> 01:00:27,440
sixty four off of him. So so yeah, ten home

1073
01:00:27,519 --> 01:00:31,280
runs and versus six home runs against right handed batters.

1074
01:00:32,639 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and today he's gone through three innings so far,

1075
01:00:35,079 --> 01:00:37,239
allowed to hits, no runs, three share goes.

1076
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:42,559
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go. So yeah, interesting guy,

1077
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,880
not perfect by any stretch, but that's that's what you

1078
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,599
get with almost everybody.

1079
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a picture.

1080
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:56,239
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just good to understand what their limitations are.

1081
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,920
So you know, if they're they're going to struggle against

1082
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,039
left handed batters, and you up against a team with

1083
01:01:01,119 --> 01:01:04,360
a really strong left hand, a sign maybe you said them. Yeah,

1084
01:01:04,519 --> 01:01:08,079
that's what's the importance of understanding the profile of the player?

1085
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, most definitely. And the reason I brought him up

1086
01:01:12,679 --> 01:01:16,079
is because he's definitely going to get an opportunity, and

1087
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,760
so far it looks like he's doing okay.

1088
01:01:20,239 --> 01:01:20,599
Speaker 2: I guess.

1089
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, there's there's a couple of diamondback pictures on

1090
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:28,920
this list. If I'm not mistaken.

1091
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 2: Victor Karantina, who's kicking around and kicking around for years.

1092
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,760
Why is he on the list.

1093
01:01:37,079 --> 01:01:42,559
Speaker 3: Again? He's he's on a streak eight for fourteen, two

1094
01:01:42,639 --> 01:01:45,039
home er, six RBIs in the past week. I just

1095
01:01:45,079 --> 01:01:47,320
bought ride the hot hand.

1096
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 2: Well roster, So I know this is impossible to answer this.

1097
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,079
This is my struggle. So owen Airs probably never heard

1098
01:01:58,079 --> 01:02:01,719
of owen Airs. Owen Airs was my hot prospect of

1099
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,760
led the hot prospect of the week last week, and

1100
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,159
he was he had everything.

1101
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,679
Speaker 3: I just call him.

1102
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:14,599
Speaker 2: Fifteen for twenty and he's a late bloomer catcher and

1103
01:02:15,679 --> 01:02:18,000
but he's played extremely well this week. So I write

1104
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,480
about him last week as hey, there could be something here.

1105
01:02:20,639 --> 01:02:24,039
This week he's one for twenty. I'm I'm making that up.

1106
01:02:24,239 --> 01:02:27,400
He hasn't hit at all. Hey, that just happens, like.

1107
01:02:28,159 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 3: You're sure it does.

1108
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 2: So how do you how do you play that game?

1109
01:02:32,719 --> 01:02:33,840
It's never worked for me.

1110
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 3: I play that game by trying to get two week

1111
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:43,800
hot streaks, okay, and just because to try and predict, Okay,

1112
01:02:44,599 --> 01:02:49,559
to try and successfully more than average predict people who

1113
01:02:49,639 --> 01:02:54,000
are going to head into a hot streak is impossible. Okay,

1114
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,000
we don't know when Josh Bell is going to go off,

1115
01:02:56,639 --> 01:02:59,559
but what I'm attempting to do is alert people to

1116
01:02:59,639 --> 01:03:03,519
the fact that he is right now, should you wish

1117
01:03:03,559 --> 01:03:07,920
to take the chance. Same with Walker Buehler, same with me. Okay,

1118
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,480
they're pitching well, so I think you have to utilize

1119
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,880
that and just hope that it continues long enough that

1120
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,280
you get some you know, you get the ability to

1121
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,320
extract value from these players.

1122
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:23,519
Speaker 2: I think the difference. Victor is pretty good baseball player there,

1123
01:03:23,599 --> 01:03:28,880
even last twelve runs. Hits the balls hard, yeah, yeah,

1124
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,800
ball has got some leverage in a swing. I mean,

1125
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,039
so makes good contact, he walks a little bit. I mean,

1126
01:03:35,079 --> 01:03:37,000
he's a pretty good baseball.

1127
01:03:36,559 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 3: Player, exactly. I'm not I'm not recommending, for the most part,

1128
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:46,000
players who have gone over twenty in the past two weeks.

1129
01:03:46,599 --> 01:03:49,039
In some cases maybe you should because they're they're due

1130
01:03:49,039 --> 01:03:52,480
to break out if they've got job security, right. But

1131
01:03:52,599 --> 01:03:55,159
in a lot of cases all those players are already rostered.

1132
01:03:55,719 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 2: But we do.

1133
01:03:56,519 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 3: Record, third, fourth, fifth, throughout picks.

1134
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,159
Speaker 2: You do reckon meant Jaydean Hill, but we we digress.

1135
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,880
That was a shot. I'm sorry, sorry about that. I

1136
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,239
will get myself a rim.

1137
01:04:10,079 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 3: Shot, as you should. Yeah, if I had control, i'd

1138
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,920
be hammer and that button right now.

1139
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,239
Speaker 2: I laughed at it. It was funny because when I

1140
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,239
saw that jayde Ham, I think it was yesterday I

1141
01:04:21,239 --> 01:04:24,800
got this to say. I said to myself self, Jade

1142
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:26,800
and Ham will be on the waiver He's going to

1143
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,679
be on the report, guaranteed. And sure enough, there it was.

1144
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 3: You read like a cheek book.

1145
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: It's okay, let's take a print, Tilly, come back and

1146
01:04:38,519 --> 01:04:55,159
finish up your waiver report. Tim Drohan's name up on

1147
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,239
Friday and look, Yeahki pictures. You have to be interested,

1148
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:00,440
but it is ain't row.

1149
01:05:01,599 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, reliever converted to the starter who's said basically four good,

1150
01:05:08,679 --> 01:05:15,960
four solid outings, okay, and they've encours. Yeah, kept it

1151
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:19,159
to three runs over six and the third time he's

1152
01:05:19,159 --> 01:05:23,119
the number five type starter. But we know the situation

1153
01:05:23,159 --> 01:05:25,840
as far as starting pitching is concerned. I think it's

1154
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,639
only fair to list anybody that has a bit more

1155
01:05:28,719 --> 01:05:30,800
than a pulse on the waiver wire when it comes

1156
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:34,679
to pitching, and I'll continue doing that looking for looking

1157
01:05:34,679 --> 01:05:37,119
for deep, deep options that are a bit off the radar.

1158
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 2: Chad Durbin. Chad Durbin second base, third basement with the

1159
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,920
Boston Red Sox. Why is he on this list.

1160
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,639
Speaker 3: He's on the list because he's another player who's had

1161
01:05:49,719 --> 01:05:53,880
a good June after a and absolutely horrible April and

1162
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:58,280
May over the past three weeks. For Homer nine RBIs

1163
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:02,199
three stolen bases in two eighty one beverage betting average.

1164
01:06:02,599 --> 01:06:06,920
Not spectacular, but twenty useful right now as a corner

1165
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:11,599
infield in the fifteen teen formats. So it seems like

1166
01:06:11,639 --> 01:06:15,559
he's playing to the potential that I sort of envisioned

1167
01:06:15,559 --> 01:06:17,599
heading into the year. I was a little higher than

1168
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,000
on Durban than most. But April and May were dreadful.

1169
01:06:21,119 --> 01:06:23,079
They really will, they were horrible.

1170
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:27,719
Speaker 2: It's the first of the Coopers. We'll do, actually do

1171
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,440
the Coopers together. So as I was thinking of Cooper,

1172
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:35,119
there's a new Apple. I think it's in its second season,

1173
01:06:35,119 --> 01:06:40,159
New Apple. New to me an Apple series called Neighbors

1174
01:06:40,239 --> 01:06:43,920
and Friends. It's with John Hamm. Tell me you're familiar

1175
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,039
with John hann the good looking guy that was in

1176
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:54,360
uh oh, the advertising show. What was that TV series?

1177
01:06:55,119 --> 01:06:59,920
But anyway, so Cooper, this guy Cooper on the television

1178
01:07:00,079 --> 01:07:07,199
series plays a very wealthy hedge fund manager that the

1179
01:07:07,239 --> 01:07:11,400
first episode, his whole life goes sideways. He loses his job,

1180
01:07:12,199 --> 01:07:16,360
his wife sleeps with his best friend, dumps him, his

1181
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,840
kids hate him. I mean, his whole life goes to

1182
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:24,960
shit literally within the first twenty minutes. And he decides,

1183
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,199
because he lives in this extremely wealthy area in Connecticut,

1184
01:07:28,719 --> 01:07:33,239
decides that all of his rich friends don't need all

1185
01:07:33,239 --> 01:07:35,639
of the stuff that they have, So he starts to

1186
01:07:35,679 --> 01:07:39,079
go and steal watches and so forth. But he doesn't

1187
01:07:39,159 --> 01:07:42,480
keep the money himself. It's almost like a Robin Hood

1188
01:07:42,519 --> 01:07:45,079
type thing. So he starts to giving money away to

1189
01:07:45,159 --> 01:07:48,199
other people that actually need the money as well. So

1190
01:07:48,239 --> 01:07:53,840
it's a fascinating story there, and so two seasons so far,

1191
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,360
we've gotten through most of the first season totally hooked

1192
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,719
on it. With the main character's name is Cooper. He

1193
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,159
goes by Coop. I don't know if Cooper goes by Coop,

1194
01:08:03,639 --> 01:08:06,960
but there you have it to me long intro to Cooper.

1195
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:15,519
Speaker 3: Ingle, Yeah, very long. My question, damn.

1196
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 2: Couch trying to be charming and you know, information for

1197
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:31,079
all our listeners. It just really long.

1198
01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:36,239
Speaker 3: Okay, which point of the two Coopers, if I had

1199
01:08:36,279 --> 01:08:37,760
to rank them, is the mini Cooper?

1200
01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 2: Who was the mini Cooper?

1201
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:48,319
Speaker 3: Oh? Sorry? Sorry that was that was bad? Well, no

1202
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:49,880
mini Cooper car.

1203
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,560
Speaker 2: That I know, but like, okay for the joke, that

1204
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,560
makes sense when I'm going to be small, right or

1205
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:56,720
just we're just.

1206
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:02,319
Speaker 3: Throwing out okay, yeah, none as big as the other, yes,

1207
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:08,039
and ranking purposes, you know what. We're off the rails.

1208
01:09:08,079 --> 01:09:09,239
We're done. We're done.

1209
01:09:10,199 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 2: We're trying to analyze Tim's dump jokes working well as

1210
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,800
Tim makes one of my television pop culture. Tim has

1211
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,680
no sense for pop culture.

1212
01:09:21,319 --> 01:09:27,520
Speaker 3: At all, No, none, whatsoever. Pop c It's cocor cocher PEPSI.

1213
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:32,159
Speaker 2: Okay, that's Coke classic, Coke classic? Or did you did

1214
01:09:32,199 --> 01:09:34,279
you ever buy into the new Coke when it came out?

1215
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 3: No? No, it was dreadful. Yeah, it was dreadful. Yeah, yeah, I.

1216
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,159
Speaker 2: Think right you you worked for freedom life, so you

1217
01:09:42,199 --> 01:09:43,319
had to be a pepsi guy, right.

1218
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,560
Speaker 3: No, I drank coke, I asked him. I asked him

1219
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,399
at our first big our first big, big meeting that

1220
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,640
we had executives. Okay, my question to them is, how

1221
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:57,520
come we don't have coke here? The I did, Honest

1222
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:02,840
to god, they looked. I immediately incurred, scoring and all

1223
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:03,760
the boys around the.

1224
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:08,520
Speaker 2: Table were just to get ahead. Written by MC.

1225
01:10:10,119 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 3: That ain't the way. But I wasn't going.

1226
01:10:12,079 --> 01:10:13,119
Speaker 2: I wasn't getting ahead.

1227
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:17,039
Speaker 3: It's easy when you're not getting ahead. Things like that.

1228
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:23,119
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, okay, yeah, so funny. All right, Cooper Angle,

1229
01:10:23,399 --> 01:10:25,000
we're way off the rails. Why why is he on

1230
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,720
this list when they when they just signed Patrick Stewart.

1231
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:33,359
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and they and they just called up Khalil Watson. Well,

1232
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,279
I mentioned in the narrative about Khalil. I don't think

1233
01:10:36,359 --> 01:10:40,279
Khlil Watson's gonna stick. Nobody that strikes out that much

1234
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:42,840
is going to last, I don't think. And that leaves

1235
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,399
you with your yeah, which leaves you with your next option,

1236
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,199
which is Cooper Angle. Okay, the bat's ready. Okay, you

1237
01:10:49,239 --> 01:10:53,840
saw him last week? What club three of them. Didn't

1238
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,720
you weren't you at that game? Us there?

1239
01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, I think so was I there? No,

1240
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:01,359
I don't. I don't know if I was at that game.

1241
01:11:01,399 --> 01:11:03,840
But uh, he's not hit.

1242
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:08,319
Speaker 3: The kid he did it three. Yeah, the kid can hit.

1243
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,640
Hitting is not a problem. Finding a place for that

1244
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,960
bat in the lineup that could be a challenge. But

1245
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,960
at some point in time if Cleveland doesn't make a trade,

1246
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:24,039
like what are their options they It's not like Cleveland

1247
01:11:24,079 --> 01:11:25,880
being the system that they are, the way that they

1248
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,159
run their team, they don't have an abundance of options

1249
01:11:29,159 --> 01:11:32,720
sitting in the high minors looking for power bats. So

1250
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:37,319
I I honestly I hate predicting failure for somebody and

1251
01:11:37,319 --> 01:11:40,079
and Watson, but the STRIKEO is.

1252
01:11:40,199 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 2: He can't be got great, can't hit.

1253
01:11:45,119 --> 01:11:47,520
Speaker 3: So if you got room, I would stash Cooper angle

1254
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,880
right now because I think he's not far down the road.

1255
01:11:50,279 --> 01:11:52,680
I'm a big fan and I think I think he

1256
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,640
can hit, and right now the Guardians need anybody who

1257
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:57,000
can hit.

1258
01:11:58,239 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 2: Can definitely hit. He's got average power. I know he's

1259
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,359
got twelve home runs. It does have a huge launch

1260
01:12:03,399 --> 01:12:07,199
of eighteen degrees max a velocity of one oh seven.

1261
01:12:07,239 --> 01:12:11,159
So it's not huge power, but I mean you're right.

1262
01:12:11,239 --> 01:12:13,439
I mean, when you it doesn't matter. He's got more

1263
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,159
power than probably six of the of the nine guys

1264
01:12:16,159 --> 01:12:17,720
starting in that lineup half.

1265
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 3: So yeah, right now, yeah.

1266
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,319
Speaker 2: But there I think you will agree there's something they

1267
01:12:23,359 --> 01:12:25,840
don't like about him.

1268
01:12:26,039 --> 01:12:30,079
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and it's it's probably they prefer the defensive

1269
01:12:30,119 --> 01:12:34,279
type catcher. That has to be you know, when you're

1270
01:12:34,279 --> 01:12:36,760
looking at they traded for Patrick Bailey and they got

1271
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,199
Austin Hedgers. They got two great catchers sitting there to

1272
01:12:39,199 --> 01:12:42,479
work with pitching. But at some point in time they're

1273
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:43,760
going to have to get some offense.

1274
01:12:44,359 --> 01:12:47,520
Speaker 2: Totally great, and you and I are violent agreement about this.

1275
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:53,600
It's I get you want to have these great defensive catchers,

1276
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:55,840
but you're going to come in third place with great

1277
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,039
defensive catchers. I mean, at some point you do have

1278
01:12:58,079 --> 01:12:58,920
to score runs.

1279
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, And right now that lineup is not

1280
01:13:05,159 --> 01:13:08,920
geared other than Bizangna and a few players. With Jose

1281
01:13:09,039 --> 01:13:13,640
Ramirez out of that lineup, it's it's bleak. It really is,

1282
01:13:14,319 --> 01:13:17,680
the fact that they're continuing to win games is impressive.

1283
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:21,359
Speaker 2: Really, I thought your next selection of Sean Keys is

1284
01:13:21,399 --> 01:13:23,560
really interesting. I've written about him a lot. This season's

1285
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,399
shown a lot more power. He's always had big power.

1286
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:28,680
I mean there's some real challenges on how much he's

1287
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,000
going to hit, and he is only in double A.

1288
01:13:31,239 --> 01:13:33,039
But I mean, Sean Keys is interesting.

1289
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're AI assistant changed in the narrative a

1290
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:42,439
little bit because I put have combined for as Rich

1291
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,640
Wilson said, the number between three and five. I quoted

1292
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,359
you on that one, hey, and he took you out

1293
01:13:48,399 --> 01:13:48,720
of it.

1294
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 2: Oh may I see that?

1295
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 3: Yeah? Keys is killing it. Okay, he's he's hitting well.

1296
01:13:57,239 --> 01:13:59,279
Fourteen homers and one hundred and seventy winner bas at

1297
01:13:59,279 --> 01:14:02,359
double A. I'm moving to Buffalo. He's got four more

1298
01:14:02,359 --> 01:14:05,920
than forty seven at bats. I don't know how the

1299
01:14:06,039 --> 01:14:10,359
Jays figure to get him in the lineup with Springer,

1300
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:15,960
Dhing and Kazuma Okomobile walked in at third, But the

1301
01:14:16,039 --> 01:14:20,840
Jays need some power and I would watch Keys very closely.

1302
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:26,800
This is just an FYI type recommendation. I don't the

1303
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,880
road's very good. I have to do something right.

1304
01:14:31,199 --> 01:14:33,399
Speaker 2: He's got big boy powers, some very good Whether he

1305
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:37,279
hits or not, I don't know. But if I were

1306
01:14:37,079 --> 01:14:42,159
the Tronto Blue Jays, I would sit down with Lenn say, look,

1307
01:14:42,279 --> 01:14:45,359
you're our franchise guy, repaying you, you know, a bucket

1308
01:14:45,399 --> 01:14:48,520
of money. We need more power from you. You got

1309
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,720
to start and some leverage. You've got to start trying

1310
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:52,720
to yoke some of these balls out because we need

1311
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,880
we need some production and see where it goes. Maybe

1312
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:59,039
they've already sat down with him, but I mean, come.

1313
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 3: On, yeah, three and five is not what we expect there.

1314
01:15:07,199 --> 01:15:12,000
And I just wanted to take a look at the

1315
01:15:12,079 --> 01:15:14,560
Jay to see what the Jays had as far as

1316
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:18,000
potential future power. And Sean Keyes leaps right off the page,

1317
01:15:18,039 --> 01:15:18,399
doesn't he.

1318
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 2: I totally agree. I love the call. Whether it happens

1319
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,439
or not, don't know, but I love the call there.

1320
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,159
Brandon Fat. A lot of people forgotten about Brandon Fat.

1321
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:30,279
He's down in Triple A being stretched out.

1322
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 3: Yes he is, and you can be guaranteed looking at

1323
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,640
that system. They called up Cabrera today and so far,

1324
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,680
so good, but that only leaves him three pictures. Still

1325
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:50,880
be four if he counts that gallon in there. And yes, exactly, yeah,

1326
01:15:51,359 --> 01:15:54,720
they need another arm and it's only a matter of

1327
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:58,920
time before Brandon gets a call. Uh yeah, we've we've

1328
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,479
seen a lot of strikeouts from in the past and

1329
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,319
it looked like he was journing a car. I remember

1330
01:16:03,399 --> 01:16:05,479
he was a real sexy pick a couple of years

1331
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:09,039
back last year based on one hundred and eighty strikeouts

1332
01:16:09,039 --> 01:16:13,920
from twenty twenty four, and yeah, it just didn't happen.

1333
01:16:14,359 --> 01:16:17,159
But he is going to get an opportunity. That's that's

1334
01:16:17,159 --> 01:16:20,359
a guarantee. I think barring injury stuff.

1335
01:16:20,079 --> 01:16:22,600
Speaker 2: Is really good. Pitch well in the playoffs a few

1336
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,920
years back when there's going to made that run and

1337
01:16:26,039 --> 01:16:28,520
but the command as has been terrible, just throws up

1338
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:32,760
meatballs and until he gets nibbling on this on the

1339
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,920
fringes a little bit better, he's just going to be

1340
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:36,680
hit able. And it's a real shame because he's got

1341
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,199
a great arm.

1342
01:16:39,239 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so again, opportunity. Let's let's see what the kid

1343
01:16:44,199 --> 01:16:45,479
can do do with it.

1344
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,079
Speaker 2: The other Cooper is Cooper Pratt, and Tim is all

1345
01:16:48,119 --> 01:16:49,880
over himself with Cooper Pratt.

1346
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,079
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like Cooper Pratt a lot. And you know,

1347
01:16:55,359 --> 01:17:00,680
we discussed Luis Laura last week. Okay, hey, Brewers went

1348
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,520
with Cratch, which makes total sense. But he's another player

1349
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:06,199
that they signed to a long term deal while still

1350
01:17:06,239 --> 01:17:09,399
in the minors, and he's had a good first week.

1351
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,000
It was funny what they what they did to him

1352
01:17:13,279 --> 01:17:16,520
in his uh, in his debut. Did you catch that

1353
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:17,279
by any chance?

1354
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:18,079
Speaker 2: I did not?

1355
01:17:19,359 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 3: Okay. You know when the players go out on the

1356
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:23,760
field at the beginning of the game, they all spread

1357
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:27,319
out to their positions, right, Well, what they did.

1358
01:17:27,399 --> 01:17:31,520
Speaker 2: Was is sprint is loosely sprint.

1359
01:17:32,399 --> 01:17:35,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Yeah, they stroll out to their positions. Yeah,

1360
01:17:35,279 --> 01:17:38,399
everybody everybody else stood in the dugout and he was

1361
01:17:38,399 --> 01:17:39,439
out there by himself.

1362
01:17:40,239 --> 01:17:41,039
Speaker 2: That's funny.

1363
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. But anyhow, he's gone six for sixteen this week,

1364
01:17:45,279 --> 01:17:49,720
three stolen bases. Hey, the wheels are definitely solid so far.

1365
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 2: He's hitting thunder too, so he's you could definitely stay

1366
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:58,520
at short so you know that's gonna help because they

1367
01:17:58,560 --> 01:17:59,760
need the defense there too.

1368
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:04,039
Speaker 3: Well, let's face it, the DFA Luis rin Ethel, so

1369
01:18:04,319 --> 01:18:06,640
they're not looking at Proud as a short term option.

1370
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just a real shame about Jet Williams,

1371
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,439
who's also that organization. He just he's not hit this

1372
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:14,720
season at all. It's a it's a real shame. I'm

1373
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:18,159
not sure what's happened, but he's really really struggling. And

1374
01:18:18,159 --> 01:18:20,760
the name I gave tim is count Hell. Look, he's

1375
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:21,760
close to returning.

1376
01:18:23,039 --> 01:18:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, thanks for the heads up on that one.

1377
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:29,479
Rich greatly appreciated. Got an email from you, was it yesterday?

1378
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:33,319
The day before? And yeah, you know, hey, let's face it,

1379
01:18:33,399 --> 01:18:36,279
Drew Romo and Edgar quarr aren't going to block him

1380
01:18:37,039 --> 01:18:41,279
once he's determined to be ready. And I know it's

1381
01:18:41,319 --> 01:18:43,840
triple a Charlotte, but he's eight for sixteen to start

1382
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,439
his rehab assignment. It ain't gonna be long before we

1383
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:48,720
see him back in Chicago. I would if I had

1384
01:18:50,319 --> 01:18:53,439
I guess this week at some point.

1385
01:18:53,199 --> 01:18:56,159
Speaker 2: I think so, I would think so. Edgar Quaro has

1386
01:18:56,199 --> 01:18:58,319
been a real disappointment. I thought he'd be a better

1387
01:18:58,359 --> 01:19:00,720
player than would have turned out to him. Maybe eventually

1388
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:02,680
he will be, but it's just he just has not

1389
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:03,319
done much.

1390
01:19:04,279 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Drew Drew Romo can't hit. He can he

1391
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:08,880
can kill the ball when he makes contact, but that's

1392
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:15,239
not very and frequently. You know enough, you know, yeah,

1393
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,640
we'll have home runs, but that's He was defa.

1394
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 2: By two teams. He was TFA by the Rockies and

1395
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,359
then picked up by was it the Yankees or Mets

1396
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,640
or somebody, and then d there and then eventually going

1397
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:31,000
over to the brewer. I'm sorry to the White Sox.

1398
01:19:31,279 --> 01:19:33,960
So that's that's what we got with Drew Romo.

1399
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,399
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, I ods are pretty good. At some

1400
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:40,119
point in time. It will happen another time. Was you

1401
01:19:40,159 --> 01:19:42,760
know it would be one of those two catchers is

1402
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,600
going down right to the miners. It's as simple as that.

1403
01:19:46,359 --> 01:19:50,960
It would be, my guest, Yes, yeah, I agree.

1404
01:19:51,319 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 2: Let me take it out of the rate. Come back.

1405
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,119
Let's see what our AI assistant after Tim's writing, Let's

1406
01:19:55,119 --> 01:20:08,960
see who he picks. This is two favorite. So again

1407
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:11,920
I asked, we're introducing a new segment to Tim's Waiver Wire,

1408
01:20:12,159 --> 01:20:14,800
asking the assistant to say, okay, based on what Tim

1409
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:18,960
has said, said in past weeks, etc. I'm not feeding him,

1410
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,039
don't know how to do this yet, not feeding him

1411
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:26,560
the podcast, but it somewhat highlights Tim's biases. We all

1412
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:30,960
have biases, but the two players that he feels like

1413
01:20:31,399 --> 01:20:35,279
Tim is articulating the most and first, as Walker Bueller,

1414
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,439
he writes this clear must add of the week. Tim

1415
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,399
rarely plants a flag. That's firmly in a picture returning

1416
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:44,239
to form, which is interesting because again he goes back

1417
01:20:44,279 --> 01:20:46,319
and looks at all the stuff that Tim has written

1418
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:48,680
and he thinks that Tim is a little bit more bullish.

1419
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:52,920
And Walker Bueller here talks about his fortune starts and

1420
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,720
he says the market is slow to react, which is

1421
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:59,600
exactly when you want to strike. So yeah, he likes

1422
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:00,960
your call, Walker Buehler.

1423
01:21:02,159 --> 01:21:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. The only thing I would question is planning a

1424
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:08,600
flag on Hey. It's starting pitchings, so I have a

1425
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,680
tendency to elevate a little bit more, and I don't.

1426
01:21:12,119 --> 01:21:15,520
I'm not planning a flag on Bueler, but if he's available,

1427
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:19,720
I'm definitely looking him at him as the best of

1428
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:24,239
the pitching options of this week. Yeah, definitely. So your

1429
01:21:24,279 --> 01:21:25,640
assistant nailed it pretty much.

1430
01:21:26,359 --> 01:21:29,039
Speaker 2: You just don't like the planning, you don't like that vernacular,

1431
01:21:29,359 --> 01:21:31,760
or you just think it's too strong.

1432
01:21:32,119 --> 01:21:37,359
Speaker 3: Of it's too strong. It's too strong for me to

1433
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:41,560
plant a flag behind the starting picture. Yeah that to me,

1434
01:21:43,159 --> 01:21:48,319
Planning a flag to me means Yamamoto, Hunter Brown, Christopher,

1435
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,399
you know what I mean. It's Yeah, it's an elite

1436
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:56,640
level pitcher, and I'm not insinuating that with Buehler, but yeah,

1437
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:01,319
of this week's selections, Yeah, he's definitely. He's definitely the

1438
01:22:01,319 --> 01:22:02,960
pitching guy I think, Jase.

1439
01:22:03,279 --> 01:22:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will give that feedback back to him. But

1440
01:22:06,359 --> 01:22:09,039
what I have found working with this guy for the

1441
01:22:09,119 --> 01:22:10,119
last two years of.

1442
01:22:10,079 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 3: My life, he.

1443
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 2: Challenges you, right, because then you have to sit there

1444
01:22:15,039 --> 01:22:17,600
and go, what did I say that made him think

1445
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,560
I'm planting a flag? And then you kind of go

1446
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,000
back and rethink your approach a little bit because he

1447
01:22:24,119 --> 01:22:26,840
came up with it. Maybe maybe he just said it

1448
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,159
just because he was trying to be cute and you know,

1449
01:22:29,319 --> 01:22:34,199
fantasy friendly, or maybe you said something was too strong.

1450
01:22:34,239 --> 01:22:37,720
Speaker 3: So maybe maybe I used the word shovel at some point.

1451
01:22:41,279 --> 01:22:44,119
Speaker 2: There you go. And of course his second guy is

1452
01:22:44,279 --> 01:22:48,359
none other than Cooper Pratt. So clearly Tim is Oliver

1453
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:51,079
Cooper Cooper Pratt. He's been over him for several weeks,

1454
01:22:52,119 --> 01:22:54,279
and I think first guy I think in the industry

1455
01:22:54,319 --> 01:22:55,640
that's been all over Cooper Pratt.

1456
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,279
Speaker 3: So well done there, Thanks Rich, I appreciate that. And yeah,

1457
01:22:59,319 --> 01:23:02,479
and he nailed this one. Okay. Milwaukee has shown they'll

1458
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:07,119
play their young long term contract guys. The fantasy profile

1459
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:10,279
he's exactly the type that becomes a league winner in

1460
01:23:10,359 --> 01:23:14,279
July August. Shortstop eligibility makes me even more value. Yeah,

1461
01:23:14,399 --> 01:23:18,119
your your assistant gets full marks for Cooper Pratt and

1462
01:23:18,239 --> 01:23:21,399
the way I the way I see him. So yeah,

1463
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:21,960
well done.

1464
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:26,079
Speaker 2: His honorable mentions go to Shane Drohan, Sean Keys, and

1465
01:23:26,159 --> 01:23:30,680
Jaden Hill. So let's let's see it with that closer report.

1466
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:33,720
J Hill gets the I think it was just one

1467
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:35,600
save that he got.

1468
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,560
Speaker 3: No, actually had three chances. He got two saves and

1469
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:42,319
he blew one, but he blew the middle one. Okay,

1470
01:23:42,399 --> 01:23:46,399
so they wheeled him out right away for the next one,

1471
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:49,720
and and he managed to hold on to it. But

1472
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:52,239
again it's it's a rocky closer.

1473
01:23:53,359 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, my bunny, my buddy Bombnic is back too, so

1474
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,720
he's he was activated off the IO, I think on

1475
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,520
so he's gonna have to beat him out of the job.

1476
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:07,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think. I think the next opportunity comes his

1477
01:24:07,119 --> 01:24:12,720
way again, it's Colorado. The or attacks that comes with Coopers. Yeah,

1478
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:17,079
it's it's real. But right now, if you're in desperate

1479
01:24:17,119 --> 01:24:19,319
need of saves, he would happen to be the favorite

1480
01:24:19,319 --> 01:24:20,439
in Colorado, I believe.

1481
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:26,279
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at how Cole Carrig is doing.

1482
01:24:26,359 --> 01:24:30,039
How is Cold cag doing. If he's not hitting four hundred,

1483
01:24:30,079 --> 01:24:33,479
he's better work. Oh, he's two thirty seven two walks today.

1484
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,239
I think he said a home run if I'm not mistaken.

1485
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 3: And I think he's hit a few.

1486
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 2: Three home runs with once wow, three home runs with

1487
01:24:42,039 --> 01:24:46,119
one stolen base. Yeah, so he's been pretty good.

1488
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, so far he's getting the job done. He's

1489
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:54,640
I I can't remember what his uh I remember looking

1490
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:59,560
at him, and he's he's owned in excess of fifty percent,

1491
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:04,239
I believe heading into this week, So I didn't I

1492
01:25:04,239 --> 01:25:07,039
didn't expend upon I think I mentioned him last week.

1493
01:25:07,079 --> 01:25:11,520
But yeah, it's if he's if he's available, go get him. Yeah, definitely.

1494
01:25:12,119 --> 01:25:16,199
Speaker 2: Wow, this this rocky lineup is just junk in the

1495
01:25:16,239 --> 01:25:22,000
trunk comes to mind. I mean, Castro Rumfield, Tyler Freeman,

1496
01:25:22,079 --> 01:25:25,760
call Carrick's pretty good, Julian the Kid, the kids, second Basement,

1497
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:29,680
that was with the Twins for a spell, Sterling tops,

1498
01:25:29,159 --> 01:25:32,159
and just I mean it's just eah.

1499
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good, honest, it's an above average triple

1500
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:39,319
A lamp.

1501
01:25:40,039 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. And then your second guy

1502
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:44,000
is Ryan Rollison.

1503
01:25:45,319 --> 01:25:49,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one that this is this is one

1504
01:25:49,359 --> 01:25:53,800
of my tim specials. I'll call it rich. I'm looking

1505
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:57,880
at Chicago Okay, and Plenty is out again. Okay, and

1506
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,800
apparently it's just a mild sprame of lency. Hasn't been

1507
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:03,359
healthy all year, so you're looking at two to three

1508
01:26:03,399 --> 01:26:07,560
weeks on the elbow. Lately, the guys that are supposed

1509
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,840
to be stepping up have stepped out. Okay, field Bar

1510
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,479
and Web have been terrible the past week, both of

1511
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:18,760
them getting rocked pretty pretty solidly. At the same time,

1512
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:23,680
roles And has thrown twelve straight scoreless appearances since May twentieth.

1513
01:26:24,119 --> 01:26:28,239
He picked up his first hold yesterday. I believe more

1514
01:26:28,319 --> 01:26:33,479
late enning opportunities are going to come, especially if Theelbar

1515
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:35,720
and Web don't get the job done, and they haven't

1516
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:37,880
been getting the job done. So this is the type

1517
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,920
of guy that I will target. Okay, even though he's

1518
01:26:41,039 --> 01:26:44,000
third fourth on the depth chart, the fact that he

1519
01:26:44,079 --> 01:26:48,239
has thrown twelve straight scoreless appearances he picked up his

1520
01:26:48,279 --> 01:26:52,279
first hold yesterday, that says to me, Chicago's Chicago's got

1521
01:26:52,319 --> 01:26:55,720
a good team. They want to make the playoffs, and

1522
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,000
I don't think they'll put up with much from fieldbar

1523
01:26:58,119 --> 01:27:01,479
and web. So I am looking at adding rules in

1524
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:04,479
a lot of my leagues this week, just because I

1525
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,920
can get them. I can get them for a Bucker two.

1526
01:27:07,319 --> 01:27:09,960
I can stash them. I can see what happens. And

1527
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,039
the worst it happens is I spend a bucker two

1528
01:27:12,359 --> 01:27:14,960
And if I spend a Bucker two, that gets me

1529
01:27:16,239 --> 01:27:18,760
at best a small fry at McDonald's. I'll take my

1530
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:19,840
chances on rules.

1531
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,039
Speaker 2: I think it. It sounds like a good car. I

1532
01:27:22,079 --> 01:27:23,960
need to check him out in leagues I play in

1533
01:27:24,119 --> 01:27:28,840
as well, Tony, I mean, an outstanding job. And thanks

1534
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,920
for having fun with me to uh to tease you

1535
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:33,680
about stuff. It was. It was a lot of fun.

1536
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:34,640
I enjoyed it.

1537
01:27:35,359 --> 01:27:38,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I Hey, we always have fun. We've we've been

1538
01:27:38,079 --> 01:27:42,239
doing this now for fifteen sixteen years, and I still

1539
01:27:42,279 --> 01:27:44,600
look forward to it as much, if not more, each

1540
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,439
and every Sunday as I did on that on that

1541
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:49,119
first one. Rich So.

1542
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:52,439
Speaker 2: First one, remember.

1543
01:27:52,079 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 3: That, Oh man, Yeah.

1544
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 2: I confident in McCloud. Wasn't so confident in the first couple,

1545
01:27:59,039 --> 01:28:01,600
but he got you found your sea legs pretty quickly.

1546
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:06,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's been a lot of fun. It really has,

1547
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:10,279
and I thank both you and our listeners for wetting

1548
01:28:10,359 --> 01:28:15,479
up with the dad jokes and the ongoing commentary, because,

1549
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:18,159
in the words of the great Popeye, I ams where

1550
01:28:18,239 --> 01:28:20,399
they am, and I am so where they am.

1551
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:24,239
Speaker 2: A couple couple additional questions, just looking back through the.

1552
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,279
Speaker 3: Scoreboard here right, what's happening?

1553
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 2: JJ Weatherholt. With two more home runs, he's up to twelve.

1554
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,000
Weather Hold or Bisana.

1555
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 3: For the rest of the season, weather Hold, weather.

1556
01:28:37,239 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 2: Holder, Pasana for the next five years.

1557
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 3: Weather Hold.

1558
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 2: Okay, no, not.

1559
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:48,159
Speaker 3: No, no. I I like Bazanna and don't get me wrong,

1560
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:54,079
but I think Weatherhold could be a Randy a Rose

1561
01:28:54,119 --> 01:28:57,800
Arena type with a bit more power for a long

1562
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:00,239
time and hitting at the top of that lineup, he's

1563
01:29:00,279 --> 01:29:04,279
going to score a hundred runs year after year after year.

1564
01:29:04,319 --> 01:29:07,560
I think Weatherhold could. We could be looking at a

1565
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:13,640
budding star, possibly superstar rich. Yeah, that's how high I

1566
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,640
am on one weather Hold. What are your thoughts on Weatherhold?

1567
01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 2: I like Weatherhold a lot. I'm not sure Randy a

1568
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:22,760
ros Arena that would be great. Let's just take a

1569
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:26,119
look at weather Holt. I mean, he's played really well

1570
01:29:26,119 --> 01:29:30,680
in the minor leagues. Wow, a whole his his baseball

1571
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,960
savant page is pretty red, which in the weird way

1572
01:29:34,079 --> 01:29:37,640
is red is good for some reason. But yeah, just

1573
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,000
as a great hit or look at that, Chase Ray

1574
01:29:40,199 --> 01:29:43,760
just doesn't expand the strike zone. He makes great contact,

1575
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:48,399
he walks average exa velocity of ninety point four launch

1576
01:29:48,399 --> 01:29:51,399
agle of fourteen degrees. It's just all perfectly set up

1577
01:29:51,399 --> 01:29:54,720
for twenty stolen bases. Excuse me, twenty home runs. I

1578
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:58,439
mean he's an average runner. So that's why I'm not

1579
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,239
sure it's the Randy Arosa, but he's he's going to

1580
01:30:01,359 --> 01:30:05,520
hit with twenty home runs and ten to twelve stolen

1581
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:08,640
bases as a baseline hitting at the top of the lineup.

1582
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:11,840
All of a sudden, the lineup that looks pretty good

1583
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:14,039
with a resurgent Jordan Walker.

1584
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:20,399
Speaker 3: And Mason Winn is a lot better player than what

1585
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:24,840
we've seen. Injuries have really hurt Mason Win. I I'm

1586
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:29,760
still very bullish on Win. My love for Mason Win

1587
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:31,039
has not faided yet.

1588
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:35,359
Speaker 2: It's when it does when when when the love fates

1589
01:30:35,359 --> 01:30:39,359
were tim it turns dark, very very quickly. So wh yeah,

1590
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:41,920
it was always great. I was thinking, you know, the

1591
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:44,680
word star with JJ Weatherhall. I mean, the stars are

1592
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:47,520
so subjective. If you recall the twenty minute discussion we

1593
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:52,279
had about Josh Young, it's just the star. Yeah, I

1594
01:30:52,319 --> 01:30:55,319
don't want to with JJ Weatherhole. I think JJ Weatherhold

1595
01:30:55,399 --> 01:30:58,159
is better player than Josh Young. But uh yeah, but

1596
01:30:58,399 --> 01:31:00,800
uh yeah, I think weather it's a real too. Let's

1597
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:03,800
ae what else we got going on today? Here? Sex

1598
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:08,279
Us up? Now, I go ahead, tex Us up four

1599
01:31:08,319 --> 01:31:09,520
to three?

1600
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 3: What were you sayeah? I was just going to say, uh,

1601
01:31:14,039 --> 01:31:16,680
we saw five innings of three hit shadow ball from

1602
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:19,239
Cabrera today only three strikeouts, So he's going to be

1603
01:31:19,239 --> 01:31:21,399
a little bit costly tonight. That's all I was going

1604
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:22,159
to mention there.

1605
01:31:22,319 --> 01:31:26,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it could be the Athletics up to

1606
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:29,319
four to three and all of a sudden, well he's

1607
01:31:29,319 --> 01:31:32,319
not playing because he's doing splits. But Lawrence Butler started

1608
01:31:32,359 --> 01:31:34,720
to look a little bit better over the last couple

1609
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:39,159
of weeks, but still just just going against the right

1610
01:31:39,159 --> 01:31:42,119
handed pitching at the moment. Soulderstrom has also looked much

1611
01:31:42,159 --> 01:31:44,479
better for the Athletics.

1612
01:31:45,319 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's yeah, they're yeah. The day they had a

1613
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:54,520
great first inning, who did they against? Read Debt Mers aout,

1614
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:56,640
three hits and three walks in the first inning.

1615
01:31:57,119 --> 01:31:59,920
Speaker 2: My great great this season as well.

1616
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:03,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he just passed the four E or a mark yep.

1617
01:32:04,239 --> 01:32:09,119
Doesn't take much, No, it doesn't. You look at the

1618
01:32:09,159 --> 01:32:13,279
Angels lineup and other than Zach Nido and Joe Odell,

1619
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:15,479
there ain't much there.

1620
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,079
Speaker 2: And Jack zach Needo has not been great this season.

1621
01:32:19,119 --> 01:32:21,880
He's beat in two twenty five. I don't think the

1622
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:25,000
sixteen home runs eleven solar basis.

1623
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:26,600
Speaker 3: So, yeah, it's our speed's still there.

1624
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,079
Speaker 2: But the batting average has been off, but he's walking

1625
01:32:29,119 --> 01:32:31,359
a ton. So I'll take a three twenty eight to

1626
01:32:31,399 --> 01:32:36,960
one base percentage. Sixteen home runs, it's eleven solar bases, yeah, yeah.

1627
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:37,479
Speaker 3: But you look at the rest of it. You guys,

1628
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:40,199
what after Nito at one and Nadella three, you got

1629
01:32:40,199 --> 01:32:44,520
Meckler at two, Janual at four, Guzman who's got potential

1630
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,840
as a younger player. You got Guzman more, some Walton

1631
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:52,319
guy in the d H rule and Logan o'happy at

1632
01:32:52,359 --> 01:32:55,399
Serri Jose Siri. Yeah, series got.

1633
01:32:55,239 --> 01:32:58,079
Speaker 2: Powerful Kristin Moore. I just think that was a wasted

1634
01:32:58,199 --> 01:33:01,239
draft pick. I'm not sure he's in the development too much.

1635
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:04,479
Denser Guzman. Yeah, I agree with I think there could

1636
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:07,600
be something there. Shanwell is twelve to fifteen home run

1637
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:08,640
first basement.

1638
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:12,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I asked. I asked Siria about Siri and he said,

1639
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:14,840
Jose okay.

1640
01:33:15,039 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 2: Uh and Donovan Walton aged thirty two.

1641
01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:26,319
Speaker 3: That's I could see the worst offense right now in baseball.

1642
01:33:29,039 --> 01:33:31,000
Speaker 2: It would be run up there. How many bets is

1643
01:33:31,119 --> 01:33:35,760
Donovan Walton half? Oh, I don't know, three hundred in

1644
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:37,600
the major league, so he's just been a journeyman.

1645
01:33:40,279 --> 01:33:43,199
Speaker 3: Ben Goodie's getting the opportunity. I don't be grudge from that.

1646
01:33:43,359 --> 01:33:46,159
But the Angels are rather wolf team. How's that?

1647
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's terrible. And that's why the guy that I

1648
01:33:50,079 --> 01:33:53,359
brought up to Tim had, you know, before the show

1649
01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:56,479
started as somebody who's going to dig in because there

1650
01:33:56,600 --> 01:34:01,159
is opportunities in Los Angeles for some young players to

1651
01:34:01,199 --> 01:34:03,359
come up. And now it's the time to go picking

1652
01:34:03,399 --> 01:34:06,640
those guys up. So Tim's gonna tell you next week

1653
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:08,640
maybe if he just thinks it's a good idea or not.

1654
01:34:10,119 --> 01:34:12,760
Speaker 3: H Tim thinks it's a good idea, has to do

1655
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:14,840
is digging, and that name will be there for you

1656
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,880
Rich based on what I've seen to at this point

1657
01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:18,279
in time.

1658
01:34:18,359 --> 01:34:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you want to know, that name is

1659
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:23,119
joined us at the patroons because our patreon memberies you

1660
01:34:23,199 --> 01:34:26,920
know about this chat chap, Timmy. That is a wrap,

1661
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:29,359
my friend, and starting to be punched drunk here we've

1662
01:34:29,399 --> 01:34:31,920
gone for almost an hour and a half, so actually

1663
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:33,680
an hour and a half, so I'm gonna call it quits.

1664
01:34:35,319 --> 01:34:38,359
Speaker 3: Yes, I think that's a good plan and go out

1665
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:42,159
and enjoy the rest of Father's Day, my friend. Happy

1666
01:34:42,199 --> 01:34:45,079
Father's Day to all of our listeners. Be safe, be well,

1667
01:34:45,119 --> 01:34:47,640
and looking forward to catching you again next week.
