WEBVTT

1
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Greeney's Societations. Everyone at Chrich Wilson walking to Fantasy Baseball Live.

2
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Today is the twenty sixth of July. As we come

3
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>here towards the end of July, the trading deadline just

4
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.719
<v Speaker 1>around the corner, about three o'clock in the afternoon. I'm

5
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 1>as always, I'm here with my good buddy, mister Tim McCleod.

6
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Tim and I had a nice little catch up before

7
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the show, talking about grandchildren, talking about the terrible weather

8
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>up in Canada, and then we started talking baseball and

9
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>that's when I got the pressing. So because Tim starts

10
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>off with everybody that's injured.

11
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 2>So well, yeah, we had a bonus one this morning

12
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>in shanel Angeleres's meniscus issue. That sounds like it could

13
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>be a long, long process and that's a shame because

14
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 2>he's having a great year.

15
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean it's only two months left, so with

16
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 1>meniscus four to six weeks something like that, that's not

17
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 1>that's not horrible. It's not like an a c L.

18
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, he's probably he's probably gone. He's probably done

19
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 1>for the Well.

20
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one of the one of the guys on the discord,

21
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>so uh, he goes by thoughts of dots. I'm not

22
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 2>sure who he is, but he's looking for al catchers today.

23
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>So we were a group of us were putting our

24
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>heads together and there's not much out there. It's no

25
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>but but ugly. Brian Servan, Chadwick Trump. Yeah, just watching

26
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 2>the game.

27
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching the Orioles Atlanta game and Chadwick Trump just

28
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 1>uh just made out. So yeah, he's not that good.

29
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 1>He did get he did get a challenge call right

30
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>a few innings ago, So there you go.

31
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes, I I'm sure the gentleman looking for catchers

32
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>will be happy to know that if he has getting

33
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Chelge calls right in his league. Hey, that's that's interesting category.

34
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we should start looking at adding that one at

35
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>some point.

36
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's I agree, that would be fun. I will

37
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>say that I think one of the stranger injuries is

38
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 1>Bobby with Junior. Not the fact that players get hurt,

39
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's his first time he's been on

40
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the I.

41
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 2>L that could very well be. He plays a lot

42
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>of games year after year and back tightness.

43
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's not good.

44
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, no, no, I remember the first time I

45
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>saw that with Christian Yelich And yeah, it's not good.

46
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, or it could just be you know, just a

47
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 1>pull muscle. We don't know, but uh, you know, it

48
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>could be Aidan Miller of the of the Philadelphia Phillies

49
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>in the minor League, still hasn't played yet. I mean

50
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>he had an ablacious no. I mean, so he had

51
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>this weird radio active blation thing. It wasn't surgery. It

52
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>was trying to like bring like you pound your lower

53
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>back to try to get blood rushing to it to

54
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>try to self heal it. It's a somewhat new technique

55
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 1>that they're doing because they don't want to do surgery

56
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>on them. Hopefully that will work. But I mean that's

57
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, backs are baseball players have bat backs. I

58
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.159
<v Speaker 1>mean it's a lot of torque in the in the swing.

59
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, and when you start looking at a player

60
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 2>like Bobby Wit with thirteen home runs and thirty stolen

61
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 2>bases and thirty five attempts and on pace for pretty

62
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>close to one hundred runs scored on a team that

63
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>might only score on the Royal Tea, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

64
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>it's that's that's a big hit to us fantasy, It

65
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.479
<v Speaker 2>really is. That's that's going to change the landscape a

66
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>little bit. If he's out for an extended period.

67
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I haven't heard one way or the other how

68
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 1>long he's going to be out. But I mean, Ronald

69
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 1>Accoon is getting close to returning, so that's good. And

70
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 1>we've had some other guys come back, and then want

71
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Sota went out. I mean, it's just these big guys.

72
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Because I bet I got one so to and Bobby Windle,

73
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple three dynasty leagues, and they obviously have been

74
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>carrying those teams. It's like, oh, you don't even want

75
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 1>to look because you just know it's not good on

76
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the waiver wire.

77
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not. And when you start looking at the

78
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 2>players drafted in the first round, I think there's only

79
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 2>one or two players first round picks that haven't spent

80
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 2>time on the i L this year. All Skeen is

81
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:40.399
<v Speaker 2>one of them.

82
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I can't Maybe he should, he's he's not been great

83
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 1>of late.

84
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 2>No, he had a good, reasonably good one going. Yes,

85
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>they struck out a file, but then it just sort

86
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 2>of all unfolded. I think it was either the fifth

87
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.800
<v Speaker 2>or sixth inning or the sixth inning and yeah, it's

88
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>it's been okay, but it hasn't been Paul skeenish. I know,

89
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, we expect more from Paul Skeins.

90
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>We do. It's just the way it is. And uh,

91
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Brax and Ashcraft, I think he's pitching okay, though he's

92
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 1>given up four earned runs and six innings, but he's

93
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>in line for a win. But he's now got a

94
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>four h five eu A. So the Pirates all of

95
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 1>a sudden and run into a bit of a wall

96
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>here with their pitchers.

97
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Uh, But on the other hand, the other kids

98
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>pitching extremely well. They just can't get all of them

99
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 2>playing at the same time. I can't remember Jared Jones.

100
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Jared Jones, Yeah, he's been pitching very well of later,

101
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not mistaken. But they they've got to get

102
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 2>some two or three of those guys firing on all

103
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 2>cylinders at the same time, and it hasn't been happening.

104
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's all lined up for them at some point

105
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 1>with Bobba Chandler, Jared Jones and Paul Skeins, all three

106
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of those guys upper nineties fastball, nasty secondary pictures, and

107
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 1>then you throw in Brax and Ashcraft is a really

108
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>good pictures. I mean, that's that's and seth Rnando's coming Hernandez.

109
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean wow, that could be the Seattle Mariners.

110
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, today moving forward to you know, just incredible

111
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 2>depth in the pitching that.

112
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>That throve in harder than those guys do.

113
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>So uh yeah.

114
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 1>But Timmy, I woke up this morning with a trade.

115
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 1>There there was a trade on my and my Twitter

116
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>feed or whatever feet. I don't use Twitter anymore, so

117
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.199
<v Speaker 1>it must have been whatever feet I'm using so and

118
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I wrote it up for our Patreon members. It was

119
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.920
<v Speaker 1>between the Nationals and the Red Sox. And the Red Sox,

120
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, Timmy, they get on a little bit of

121
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a run here and they say we need more depth

122
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>than they bring in. Curtis Mead, one of my buddies

123
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>that I've long been had long affection for. He's having

124
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 1>a really nice season and then give up calmly early.

125
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.399
<v Speaker 2>What did you think of that? The first thing that

126
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 2>crossed my mind was how bad is early hurt? You

127
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>know that's because on my first reaction was, yeah, that's great.

128
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not happy for Curtis med But weren't the Red

129
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Sox planning on a rotation around early in toll? But

130
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 2>then again a little longer I thought about it, you know,

131
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought about the injury, and then I also thought

132
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 2>about the fact that they had somebody in Bennett step

133
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.959
<v Speaker 2>up this year, and they had somebody in the minors

134
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.040
<v Speaker 2>step even more in. Uh, was it? Ierson?

135
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, honestly, you've got a mini waiver war two.

136
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, I did that half an hour ago.

137
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.959
<v Speaker 2>That's old news.

138
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Suarez is coming back, Sonny, great pitched. Okay, what would

139
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you rather have?

140
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Would you rather have early in Toll or would you

141
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:10.879
<v Speaker 2>rather have Toll Bennett? And there's that combination because I

142
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.839
<v Speaker 2>think that came into play in this deal Rich all

143
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, the pitching depth.

144
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>The Red Sox have pitching depth, and they dealt for it.

145
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, look, Kindley Early, a lot of people

146
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>thought coming into the season he was a number two starter.

147
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.399
<v Speaker 1>He's not. He's a number four to five, and the

148
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>data supports that. As I've been saying all along, total

149
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>he's got the bigger stuff, he's the better pitcher. But Early,

150
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 1>he's a nice guy, left handed pitching that has some

151
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 1>major league success. Those guys are valuable. I like Curtis Mead,

152
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 1>I always have. But the data is just okay with him.

153
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 1>He's a step in the bucket kind of guy. Doesn't

154
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.759
<v Speaker 1>hit the ball all that hard. It's a good hitter,

155
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.799
<v Speaker 1>but he's fifteen to twenty home run guy that's got

156
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.080
<v Speaker 1>some platoons split, so he's probably going to be a

157
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 1>strong side D eight. He's not a very good defender.

158
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.399
<v Speaker 1>Do you give up the lefty? That's a three seventy

159
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 1>five four twenty five kind of year a for Curtis Mead,

160
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, that seems like an hour to make.

161
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which brings us back to the fact how much

162
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.919
<v Speaker 2>did the elbow come into play something we don't know.

163
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a really good point because if he's

164
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:26.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, if he's got to have Tommy John surger

165
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 1>or Brace surgery, then he's gone for next year. So

166
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, that five years of team control

167
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 1>is down to three and a half to four years, right,

168
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 1>because he's he's since spending a year and a year

169
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and a half out of it. So I don't know.

170
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 1>So it's a really good point, and maybe that's we're

171
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna find out in a couple of weeks that Connie

172
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Early is having Tommy John.

173
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you guys like what I think with Washington.

174
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Did they get the highest scoring offense in the game. Okay,

175
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 2>they got Wood, they got Abrams, yep, and the cast

176
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:01.519
<v Speaker 2>cast of of hundreds. Okay, they can they can partner

177
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 2>with Curtis Meat and take a chance on pitching it because,

178
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>let's face it, getting pitching under the age of twenty five,

179
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>that's got even number three four upside, it's not easy

180
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 2>to do, you know what I mean. And let's face it, Washington,

181
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Washington has to improve the rotation. You know, cavel A,

182
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I think's fine. Foster Griffin has got for another year. Well,

183
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.159
<v Speaker 2>actually they don't. Foster Griffin's a free agent anything in

184
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 2>the next year. So basically they got they're going to

185
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>move him. Yeah they they Oh yeah, Foster Griffin should

186
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.480
<v Speaker 2>be moved at the deadline. That that that to me

187
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 2>is a no brainer. They only designed him. I believe

188
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 2>on a one year deal. I could I could be wrong,

189
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.200
<v Speaker 2>but I think Griffin was a one year deal.

190
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>I will show you continue to talk.

191
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So again then that's need pitching and it's not

192
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 2>easy to come by. So it makes sense as to

193
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 2>what they did, total sense.

194
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, one year signed for one year. Wow, what a

195
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>deal one year, five and a half million dollars. Well,

196
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>it's great, but yeah, so he he he. He's gonna

197
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.679
<v Speaker 1>make a lot of money in the offseason, so good.

198
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.600
<v Speaker 2>For him, a lot more than five and a half million. Yes, yeah,

199
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 2>I could see three years, fifty sixty million, Yeah, somewhere

200
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:21.320
<v Speaker 2>in there. See.

201
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess I liked it for both teams.

202
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I think. I mean, I I don't think either one

203
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.919
<v Speaker 1>of the players involved, Curtis Mead or Connelly Early. I

204
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 1>don't think any one of them is going to be

205
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>an All Star, like a true All Star guy that

206
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.639
<v Speaker 1>makes three All Star appearent. I think they're they're nice players.

207
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>I think there's more upside. I think I agree with you.

208
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>It's harder to find lefty pitching at the level that

209
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Conley Early is, even though it's a number four guy.

210
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that's I think that's way more

211
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.440
<v Speaker 1>valuable than a fifteen to eighteen home run guy in

212
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Meat. They can hit a little bit that's got

213
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>some platoons splits. That's the way I look at it.

214
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know, Boston was obviously treating from his strength,

215
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.440
<v Speaker 2>as was Washington. Both of them trying to fill fill

216
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 2>holes in their lineup, So it makes sense all the way, right.

217
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, what I really hope this trade does is

218
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:19.919
<v Speaker 2>for some activity because up till this this deal, we

219
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:21.039
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen much, have we?

220
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 1>No, And I wrote, I wrote both to our Patreon

221
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>members and also in our notes here. I mean, it

222
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 1>was interesting that Phil Rosenthal, that Phil Rosenthal, that's the

223
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 1>that's the that's the that's the comedy guy who Ken Ken, Yeah, exactly,

224
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Ken Rosenthal wrote in The Athletic over the weekend. I

225
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>thought this was fascinating that he's you know, he's talking

226
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to you know, all the executives, like why aren't you

227
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>making moves? And apparently everybody in the American League is

228
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 1>waiting to the last minute because they know their teams

229
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.799
<v Speaker 1>aren't very good, but they also know they're still in it,

230
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 1>which I thought was kind of funny, like like why,

231
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that feels about right? So you got allows

232
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.279
<v Speaker 1>he like, the Orioles don't have a very good team,

233
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.399
<v Speaker 1>but they're still in it. The Red Sox don't have

234
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a very good team, but they're still in it. But

235
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.799
<v Speaker 1>you and we've already seen the Red Sox, as we've

236
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>talked about previous podcasts that they're going to go for it.

237
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>They're close, and it looks like that's what they're doing.

238
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:21.919
<v Speaker 1>But others, you know, if Rosenthal's right, they're going to

239
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:23.279
<v Speaker 1>wait till the last minute.

240
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And the fact that you know, Trek's Google might

241
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:31.799
<v Speaker 2>be off the market, that changes things in a rather

242
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:32.480
<v Speaker 2>big way.

243
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.720
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, have you have you heard that he's off

244
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the market.

245
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, he saying he wants to contract and Detroit wants

246
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 2>to stay there all of a sudden, so in Detroit

247
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and Detroit is moving to it. In wildcard situation too,

248
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, a situation where they'll be wild card eligible.

249
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.519
<v Speaker 2>So what what do the Tigers do? My cake would

250
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.200
<v Speaker 2>be so just you gotta come back negotia in the

251
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.159
<v Speaker 2>contracts as a free agent and go for it. Right,

252
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you take what you can take in the short term.

253
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>You got you gotta trade them, or you gotta sign

254
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.679
<v Speaker 1>them before the before the trade deadline to you know,

255
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 1>a gigantic contract. You can't. You can't go in with

256
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Scott bars as your agent and hope that they're going

257
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.559
<v Speaker 1>to re sign some gentlemen's agreement or something. It's not

258
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. He's gonna go Who's ever gonna be in

259
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the most money.

260
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, and it'll be down to the penny.

261
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, let's go to the wildcar status here and

262
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>let's see, so the Twins so in the wild card

263
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>of the Yankees, Red Sox in Cleveland, game and a

264
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 1>half for the Twins still but there they got to

265
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 1>be sellers, right, But then, of course their biggest chip

266
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and Joe Ryan has got arm fatigue figures the Astros

267
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.440
<v Speaker 1>should be. I mean, they're probably still in it because

268
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>they're at the end of their window. The Mariner is

269
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna be buyers or you'll say they're gonna be buyers. Yeah,

270
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Detroit is three games out, but they've got they got

271
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>to jump over five teams. I don't know, man, Yeah.

272
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 2>That that seems to be a bit of a reach

273
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>to me. They'd they'd have to go on a heck

274
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.799
<v Speaker 2>of a tear and they'd have to be betting on

275
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 2>the White Sox and Cleveland the Guardians falling off a

276
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>cliff and uh, I think they're both five hundred plus

277
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>a bit teams. So I don't see either. I don't

278
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.360
<v Speaker 2>see either happening. So, yeah, they need a lot of

279
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:36.440
<v Speaker 2>things to break, right. Yeah, you know what's fascinating is

280
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 2>the Rangers behind all world Whitett length for there in

281
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:47.200
<v Speaker 2>first place in the AOS. Now two games over five hundred.

282
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 2>Uh impressive.

283
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but by the way, White were everybody. We were

284
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>right with White length for We didn't we didn't expect

285
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.399
<v Speaker 1>them to get hurt for so long. But he's it's

286
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:03.039
<v Speaker 1>been an us their numbers and let the time he's playing.

287
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, come on, I saw yesterday the news that

288
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.799
<v Speaker 2>he twisted or turn did something to his ankle, Like,

289
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:10.480
<v Speaker 2>oh hell, not again.

290
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.000
<v Speaker 1>But I think he's playing.

291
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.879
<v Speaker 2>I think they said he's playing. He's playing today. I

292
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker 2>think you got to get in this first.

293
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you a question. Toronto Blue Jays seven

294
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>games under five hundred. There are five games back, which

295
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.519
<v Speaker 1>is crazy, right, But they seem like they're out of it,

296
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 1>but they were the al representative in the World Series

297
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 1>last season. Do they try to do a little trimmy,

298
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe move a George Springer something. I mean, they don't

299
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.720
<v Speaker 1>do big moves, but they try to make a few

300
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>moves here to to kind of retool a little bit.

301
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:46.919
<v Speaker 1>Or do they keep going for it.

302
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.279
<v Speaker 2>After what I'm seeing today they're down three nothing to

303
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Boston and it is highly uninspiring to watch this team

304
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.639
<v Speaker 2>right now. I think they're going to. I think they're

305
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:07.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna look at moving Springer Varshow. I would say those

306
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.319
<v Speaker 2>two are definitely on the block. Kevin Gossman's another one

307
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>that could be on the block. Shane Bieber Okay, he's

308
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.119
<v Speaker 2>a free agent hitting in the next year. Yeah, I

309
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.920
<v Speaker 2>think they're going to. They're just going to say it

310
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.799
<v Speaker 2>is not happening, and they're going to They're going to

311
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:27.480
<v Speaker 2>part with as many players as as they can. They've

312
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.119
<v Speaker 2>been hurt by injuries, is no doubting that. But at

313
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.359
<v Speaker 2>the same point in time, the past past month and

314
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:39.559
<v Speaker 2>a half has been uninspiring as being the kind way

315
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 2>of approaching it. You know, when Chandler Simpson has a

316
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.279
<v Speaker 2>higher OPS and Black Guerrero does something, Is that true? Yes,

317
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 2>that was true yesterday. I think by one point it

318
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.279
<v Speaker 2>was either OBP or OPS or one of them. Yeah, yeah,

319
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can't you know other than Kaso Kamoto okay,

320
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.640
<v Speaker 2>and Dylan Cee or any Clement, I'll put him in there.

321
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.720
<v Speaker 2>He's had a fine year. Other than that, it's been

322
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:11.440
<v Speaker 2>total disappointment. Blue Jay Len.

323
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 1>That's all around. Gerrera I mean, look, that's that's theirs.

324
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.400
<v Speaker 1>That's their guy, right, that's that's the five hundred million

325
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.960
<v Speaker 1>dollar guy that's supposed to hit you thirty home runs.

326
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:22.920
<v Speaker 1>He's got what six?

327
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and some of it I blame on the

328
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 2>manager in his loyalty. You know, he's stuck with jeff

329
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 2>Off and probably cost them five games. Okay, Well, Louis

330
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Iarland was throwing up zero after zero. They well, the

331
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:38.119
<v Speaker 2>move finally got made. But how many games that cost

332
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 2>from the main time, you know, hey, in a tough

333
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>division like that, four or five games, it's a big deal. Okay,

334
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.079
<v Speaker 2>So it's just a combination of things. But I think

335
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.759
<v Speaker 2>the Jays have to unload some talent as much as

336
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.680
<v Speaker 2>it it might hurt, but I think it's the right

337
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:57.640
<v Speaker 2>thing to do. They're going to finish in the last

338
00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 2>this year.

339
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and look that they've got players, They've got some

340
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.559
<v Speaker 1>bullpen guys they can move as well. But the athletics,

341
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Jeffrey Springs, is that gonna is that gonna

342
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>bring much? I mean, everybody's looking for you for for pitching.

343
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City Royals, I mean, would they move any of

344
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.039
<v Speaker 1>their pictures? I mean, the Angels have They don't have much.

345
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so those are the three teams that are

346
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 1>definitely sellers, but they don't have much to sell except

347
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:24.519
<v Speaker 1>for Mike Trout.

348
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, you got Freddie Berld and you got maybe Gosman.

349
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:29.839
<v Speaker 2>You know Gosman out there.

350
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 1>In the National League. Yeah, he's definitely gonna get moved.

351
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.640
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, there are a few pictures that are gonna

352
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.440
<v Speaker 2>get moved, and he Schoogle should get moved unless I

353
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 2>agree with you, unless they have some sort of agreement

354
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:49.039
<v Speaker 2>in place, carved in stone, uh and edged into your

355
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.599
<v Speaker 2>kitchen table. All go with all all all hands on

356
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 2>deck there. Yeah, no, you got you gotta make that

357
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:56.200
<v Speaker 2>moves as simple as.

358
00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:02.000
<v Speaker 1>That without get without looking Timmy, m hmmm. Freddy Perolt

359
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.119
<v Speaker 1>to pitch today for the New York Metropolitans. How many

360
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:06.119
<v Speaker 1>innings did he pitch?

361
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'm gonna go with today he was instead of

362
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.119
<v Speaker 2>the five inning Freddy, he was a four ining Fredy.

363
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:18.799
<v Speaker 1>He was a four inning Freddy.

364
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Ninety three pitches, ninety three to get through for how

365
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:28.400
<v Speaker 2>many you walk for two? Okay, he just ran everybody

366
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.960
<v Speaker 2>to a full count and then they yeah, okay, yeah.

367
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.599
<v Speaker 1>Just just not coming together. Tell me I take a

368
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>break and come back and start looking at some of

369
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:51.400
<v Speaker 1>these games. I'm gonna do an unfair guest. The player.

370
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.640
<v Speaker 2>You're with me, Tim Yeah, yeah, sorry.

371
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:01.759
<v Speaker 1>An unfair guest. The player you were talking about injuries

372
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and so forth. There's a player that should have been

373
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.839
<v Speaker 1>in the major leagues this season, but he was hurt

374
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.759
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the season with Tommy John or

375
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:15.319
<v Speaker 1>actually have brace surgery. He is now back, hitting, destroying,

376
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:16.839
<v Speaker 1>just like he was last season.

377
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:21.599
<v Speaker 2>Who is that player, just like he was last season?

378
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Top ten prospect, top ten prospect, I have no guesses.

379
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Texas Rangers, Oh yes, the kid, yeah, Sebastian Yeah.

380
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Back and will be on my Hot Prospect of the

381
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Week a couple of games in complex, think back in

382
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Double A, and he's only he's only dhing because it's

383
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:51.680
<v Speaker 1>only I think he had surgery in February, brace surgery.

384
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.079
<v Speaker 1>So they're not letting them throw the ball yet. But uh,

385
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:58.599
<v Speaker 1>it's great to see. I mean, like in my world,

386
00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:59.880
<v Speaker 1>it's like, wow, look at this.

387
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.680
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, they're going they're going, They're going all over

388
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:07.920
<v Speaker 2>tawny on them. Eh yeah, I mean if given give

389
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.039
<v Speaker 2>him a bad but we're not going to work the

390
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 2>arm do it, which makes sense. Yeah, if the cake

391
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 2>can swing a bat, he's not going to hurt himself.

392
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Get him out there, right, Let's.

393
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Hope he doesn't hurt himself. Yeah, but that's God was

394
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 1>February twenty third was his surgery, So that's February, March, April, May, June, July.

395
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:28.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe you could throw a little bit here

396
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:30.839
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the season, but they're probably not

397
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:32.559
<v Speaker 1>going to push it at all. But anyway, good to

398
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.240
<v Speaker 1>see from He would have been out to me. And

399
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you know you're talking about why Lankfort he could have helped.

400
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:40.000
<v Speaker 1>He could have really have helped.

401
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:43.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that would have definitely made a difference. So I'm

402
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:47.319
<v Speaker 2>glad he's back on the field early. That's that's good news,

403
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 2>good news for all concerned.

404
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, uh, let's if you do have the Dodgers up

405
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.279
<v Speaker 1>on the Mets three to one, Freddy per Alta again

406
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:02.960
<v Speaker 1>with this four were any Freddie Tani. They're not saying

407
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.319
<v Speaker 1>TONI might not pitch much the rest of the way

408
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:09.400
<v Speaker 1>because of his of his knee, but I guess I

409
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I'm assuming that's gonna hurt his when he's

410
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:15.400
<v Speaker 1>out there running I'm not sure what's what's going on

411
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:16.519
<v Speaker 1>with Otani? Do you know.

412
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 2>He's day to day until the playoffs and then he

413
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:27.119
<v Speaker 2>will play every possible second and throw two no hitters

414
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs to go along with fourteen home runs.

415
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.039
<v Speaker 2>And when the Dodgers in other worlds. Yeah, and why

416
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:38.400
<v Speaker 2>push Okanni? There's no reason to push Otani right now.

417
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Give him as much we're at rest as he needs.

418
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are in it to win it, so they

419
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:46.400
<v Speaker 2>want him as close to one hundred percent as they

420
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 2>can get him heading into the playoffs. So it makes

421
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.799
<v Speaker 2>total sense. Hey, if you're counting on stolen bases from Otanni,

422
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:53.119
<v Speaker 2>I would say, don't.

423
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 1>He's only got six for this season. He hasn't stolen

424
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.400
<v Speaker 1>a base, and going in the way back machine to

425
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:01.440
<v Speaker 1>less last one I see is make.

426
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was gonna say at the beginning of me. Yeah,

427
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>he's been hurting off and on since and so again

428
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:11.319
<v Speaker 2>they don't need to push him, So why would they.

429
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:16.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, what's happening makes total sense. The better shape

430
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:20.119
<v Speaker 2>he's in come October first, the better off the Dodgers

431
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:20.440
<v Speaker 2>are for.

432
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Scoopa's going to He's going to the Dodgers.

433
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Right, that would be my guess.

434
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I read something that, uh but oh the Brewers

435
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker 1>are all in. That's what I read. They might go

436
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:39.519
<v Speaker 1>for a scoopl And then I heard the Rays were

437
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:41.200
<v Speaker 1>all in and I stopped reading the article.

438
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, as

439
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:47.720
<v Speaker 2>there're the Pirates, as long as they don't spend anything

440
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 2>more than they spend on Ryan O'Hearn. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

441
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Tim talked about the uninspiring play of the Blue Jays. Wow,

442
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.359
<v Speaker 1>six hits, three to nothing, losing to the Red Sox.

443
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.440
<v Speaker 1>To the Red Sox and Suarez, my buddy Suarez only

444
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:05.400
<v Speaker 1>got four innings though, six strikeouts, no walks, four hits.

445
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I make that five nothing now and I got

446
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:09.799
<v Speaker 2>the game one in the background.

447
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Day, Oh, something else to just happen up. You have

448
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:13.599
<v Speaker 1>to just post it.

449
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 2>So Brian littles in and like, I don't know who

450
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 2>got the head, but somebody just drove a couple runs in.

451
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, uh, we've got the Pirates up eight to four.

452
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Talked about that briefly with Brax and Asscraft. Pitch better, uh,

453
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.599
<v Speaker 1>but still four innings for runs. It looks like he

454
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:36.960
<v Speaker 1>is going to get the win, and from a fantasy standpoint,

455
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:40.119
<v Speaker 1>it's the most important thing. Ryan o'harn with a grand

456
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:41.599
<v Speaker 1>slam my buddy, Ryan.

457
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:46.359
<v Speaker 2>There we go. Best money the virus ever spent. Also

458
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the most money the virus spent.

459
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.759
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's just to me. It's a definitely

460
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:54.039
<v Speaker 1>Ryan o hearn is a definition of a late bloomer,

461
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.839
<v Speaker 1>a guy that just kind of stuck around, stuck around.

462
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:01.119
<v Speaker 1>It was always platoon problems, kind of figured that out

463
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:03.279
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, developed a little bit more power, and

464
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:06.160
<v Speaker 1>he is a twenty twenty five home run guy that

465
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.720
<v Speaker 1>can hit a little bit. He's a good player.

466
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I take my cap off. I'm continually ragging on,

467
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:17.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, Ryan O'Hearn in the big contract Yeah yeah, yeah,

468
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:22.440
<v Speaker 2>and the pirates. But yeah, Ryan O'Hearn has earned whatever

469
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.000
<v Speaker 2>he makes. He toiled as a platoon player and a

470
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:29.279
<v Speaker 2>bench sort of guy for a long time, got it

471
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>together and he is. He's a nice little player, he

472
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:38.240
<v Speaker 2>really is. And hey, that's yeah, good for Ryan O'Hearn.

473
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot of these players, you know, five six, seven, eight,

474
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:45.079
<v Speaker 2>nine years in the minors and they finally get an opportunity.

475
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I love when they capitalize on that opportunity and you know,

476
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:54.720
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of it because a lot don't. So I've

477
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:57.400
<v Speaker 2>always been an underdog sort of guy. And yeah, Ryan

478
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:00.640
<v Speaker 2>over and I think that's that Bill looks.

479
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the UH at the Washington Nationals game,

480
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 1>and I just got stuck on my buddy Harry Ford

481
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.960
<v Speaker 1>had that great opening day and Tim recommended them last

482
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.720
<v Speaker 1>week and that hasn't hit much since then, Tim, So what's.

483
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Your shaving it up for the playoffs? Shaving it for

484
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:19.279
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs?

485
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Playoff run or the playoffs? So yeah, but again you.

486
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Look at the lineup, okay, And you look at the

487
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:33.960
<v Speaker 2>score six to four, okay, James Wood surprise surprise of

488
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:38.119
<v Speaker 2>the home home run. CJ Abrams with two home runs.

489
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.519
<v Speaker 2>That would be five of your six runs. Score today

490
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.720
<v Speaker 2>by Washington Radio's got to hit and C.

491
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:50.039
<v Speaker 1>C Abrams got. CJ Abrams got twenty seven home runs? Wow?

492
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? What as twenty nine? I know? Okay? And you

493
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:58.279
<v Speaker 2>look at the RBI totals, Abrams is up to eighty two.

494
00:27:59.119 --> 00:27:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

495
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I would have predicted that to be a full season

496
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:05.519
<v Speaker 2>for CJ Abrams, not two thirds of the season.

497
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:07.599
<v Speaker 1>He's going to get some I mean, what's going to

498
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 1>get some MVP consideration. Abrams says too as well. I

499
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.759
<v Speaker 1>mean they're not going to win it, but I mean

500
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that's yeah, those are big ass numbers. Yeah, and you're

501
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>saying where Brady House is back, I'm not sure he

502
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:20.400
<v Speaker 1>can hit enough, but he is back.

503
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think he's a twenty eighty type of guy,

504
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:26.440
<v Speaker 2>and I think he's got an opportunity to play full time.

505
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.000
<v Speaker 2>So I start of like Brady House this weekend. Like

506
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I said, I think he's going to play every day,

507
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and I think he's going to be Okay, okay.

508
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Is he going to hit enough?

509
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? He had two thirty five.

510
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, so that's not enough.

511
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.240
<v Speaker 2>So but you know, you combine it with the twenty

512
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:50.680
<v Speaker 2>eighty potential and that makes him a low win type

513
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:53.759
<v Speaker 2>third base. But over the next two months, so the

514
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:55.880
<v Speaker 2>National is gonna are they're going to make a move

515
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:57.880
<v Speaker 2>to strength to third base, I don't think so. They'll

516
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:00.440
<v Speaker 2>They'll run it out, They'll see what House has, and

517
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:02.839
<v Speaker 2>over the balance of the year, I could see five

518
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 2>to eight home runs out of the House and twenty

519
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:11.000
<v Speaker 2>five rbisk, which is useful in our game. Maybe not

520
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:16.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe yeah, maybe not long term, long term but short term,

521
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:21.119
<v Speaker 2>especially in regraft leagues, he should generate some interest and

522
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 2>n'l onely so he'll be a big luck by okay,

523
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:28.400
<v Speaker 2>because you know everybody's sitting back wait for the trade

524
00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:32.720
<v Speaker 2>deadline to see who switches leagues. So yeah, I said

525
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:35.759
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to be a star, but as an

526
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:38.400
<v Speaker 2>ad to the final two months of the season, I

527
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.279
<v Speaker 2>think he's worth recommending.

528
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:43.519
<v Speaker 1>In the Nationals, tim they're not out of it. I mean,

529
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.240
<v Speaker 1>we didn't really talk about them, but there are two

530
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:47.920
<v Speaker 1>games out of the walk car spot of there are

531
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.079
<v Speaker 1>game over five hundred.

532
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, they're not. They're not out of anything. And

533
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:58.000
<v Speaker 2>if Connolly early, if they can get some work out

534
00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of him, that certainly won't hurt their cousin. I find

535
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 2>it shocking when I look at the NL East okay,

536
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:12.359
<v Speaker 2>and I look at the Nationals with five hundred and

537
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:17.359
<v Speaker 2>seventy four runs scored, and the Phillies have scored basically

538
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:23.799
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and thirty runs less. They're up sixty. They're

539
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:28.599
<v Speaker 2>up sixty on the Atlanta Braves like nobody. Nobody saw

540
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:32.920
<v Speaker 2>that coming. There is no way you've predicted that the

541
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Nats would be the they score the most runs of

542
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.759
<v Speaker 2>any team in baseball. Yeah, people would have laughed at

543
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:41.920
<v Speaker 2>you for making that prediction, but lo and behold, that's

544
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.200
<v Speaker 2>where they're at. They're scoring a file of runs. They're

545
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:50.480
<v Speaker 2>also allowing a mess of them. But yeah, it's hopefully

546
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:53.640
<v Speaker 2>they get Early back and maybe being one game over

547
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:56.519
<v Speaker 2>five hundred with the lead today two games over, there

548
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:01.440
<v Speaker 2>are only three games behind the Phillies, and the Brave

549
00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:04.680
<v Speaker 2>is once very big lead is down to six games

550
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.920
<v Speaker 2>on the Phillies. So it's gonna be interesting to see

551
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:09.680
<v Speaker 2>what happens over the next two three weeks.

552
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Look, you, when we were talking about the you know,

553
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the trade of Mead for Connie Early, you said, well,

554
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:19.799
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe you looked at it from the Red Sox perspective.

555
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Early has hurt more than we think or let's

556
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:28.039
<v Speaker 1>be reported, Yeah, but maybe they share the medicals with

557
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the Nationals. The Nationals think that he could come back.

558
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:32.759
<v Speaker 1>You could take a look at it from their perspective

559
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:36.200
<v Speaker 1>and say, hey, let's make this deal because we could

560
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:39.000
<v Speaker 1>use the help here. And you know the second half,

561
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:39.799
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know.

562
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you need bitching, we need we need hitting. Yeah,

563
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a fit, that's a that's a type of that's

564
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a type of trade that you would make in the

565
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:51.839
<v Speaker 2>fantasy league.

566
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree. I agree. It's good to see major

567
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.160
<v Speaker 1>League Baseball teams are doing that now. So the Athletics

568
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.759
<v Speaker 1>are just really and many. They're losing again seven nothing

569
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that they lose Shane langleirs And it's just a team

570
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 1>that's that looked pretty good at the beginning of the season.

571
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 1>And you know, they just Kurts Is back, which is good.

572
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that'll give them a little bit, but they're just

573
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.839
<v Speaker 1>not hitting Timmy. They're pitching is terrible. Springs got demolished again.

574
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they've got no bullpen to speak of. Yeah, they're

575
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:34.000
<v Speaker 2>they're in trouble, big time in trouble. H they you know,

576
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:38.799
<v Speaker 2>and when you start looking at at the division they

577
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>happen to be playing and yeah, and again you can't

578
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.640
<v Speaker 2>a team like that should not be sixty sixteen games

579
00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:56.119
<v Speaker 2>under five hundred. Yeah, yeah, no, but again they built that.

580
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 2>They built that situation themselves. They moved into a park

581
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.880
<v Speaker 2>where I don't know what they're going to do about

582
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:06.799
<v Speaker 2>their pitching. Their offense will be fine I think moving forward.

583
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:11.160
<v Speaker 1>But well, they got one more year in Sacramento. They

584
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:14.839
<v Speaker 1>got one more year in Sacramento. The hope is, again

585
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:18.319
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned and I hope this is true, that they

586
00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:21.799
<v Speaker 1>can get some physics students from the University of Nevada

587
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.759
<v Speaker 1>Las Vegas that can gus I'm serious about this, that

588
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:28.839
<v Speaker 1>can help them figure out the wind tunnels and whatever.

589
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:31.519
<v Speaker 1>In Las Vegas that's going to be an outdoor stadium.

590
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:33.960
<v Speaker 1>We know the humidity is not going to be there,

591
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>so they got to do something Tommy with scoreboards, with

592
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:42.279
<v Speaker 1>something to try to deaden that environment. It's way above

593
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:44.839
<v Speaker 1>my pay scale and understanding of how stuff works, but

594
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:48.079
<v Speaker 1>clearly shouldn't there be scientists that can figure that out

595
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:50.759
<v Speaker 1>to say, hey, if we do this, that and the other,

596
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:54.759
<v Speaker 1>we can you know, make this more of a fair environment,

597
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:58.079
<v Speaker 1>which that maybe they push the the walls way back.

598
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah maybe, hey, maybe they go to Colorado and find

599
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:03.960
<v Speaker 2>out what their secrets successes.

600
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but if it's now a second, if we

601
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.360
<v Speaker 1>now have we've got two teams now, but hopefully Las

602
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Vegas is going to be better. But if it's not now,

603
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:22.679
<v Speaker 1>so you've got two teams that are unplayable, uh for

604
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:24.880
<v Speaker 1>in a major league, in a major league grow I

605
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:26.159
<v Speaker 1>just think that's unacceptable.

606
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and I know they don't care about it,

607
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:34.599
<v Speaker 2>but the rush to acquire Las Vegas starting pitching might

608
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:39.119
<v Speaker 2>be minimal. They might have built themselves a situation where

609
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.880
<v Speaker 2>they'll they have to live with what the Rockies have

610
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:46.239
<v Speaker 2>lived with for their entirety. Okay, and that's yeah, well

611
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.199
<v Speaker 2>what's starting pitcher? Hey, you know, we can offer you

612
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the bright lights. We can offer you free buffets and

613
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:56.880
<v Speaker 2>unlimited gambling, which seems to be major League Baseball thing. Anyways.

614
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:58.760
<v Speaker 2>We can offer all that to you. We just can't

615
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:02.519
<v Speaker 2>offer you a p where you'll be able to sustain

616
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:03.760
<v Speaker 2>an era under five.

617
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, they're not. It's been driven the Rockies can't

618
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:14.800
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, look, it's it's not good for baseball

619
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:18.159
<v Speaker 1>to have a place where balls are just flying out

620
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 1>like that and a fantasy. I mean, it just can't.

621
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Can't roster these guys. I mean, Cage Jump has just

622
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:25.559
<v Speaker 1>gotten destroyed. I mean it's just is all the good

623
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.360
<v Speaker 1>will that he had to getting called up is gone.

624
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:31.679
<v Speaker 1>He's yeah, he's he's been a Sacramento Sacramentarized.

625
00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:36.239
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, how much would it take for Trek Scoogle

626
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:40.239
<v Speaker 2>to sign with Sacramento or Colorado? Is there a number

627
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:41.559
<v Speaker 2>I think there is.

628
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Scott Baris is his agent, so there is a number.

629
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:49.519
<v Speaker 1>But if if one of those guys did, you would

630
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.639
<v Speaker 1>just questioned like what are they doing? Like why why

631
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:54.559
<v Speaker 1>would they do this? And you would know it's all

632
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:55.199
<v Speaker 1>about money.

633
00:35:56.159 --> 00:36:02.239
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm. Yeah. No, it's because we've seen how the

634
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Rockies can't recruit if he if Sacramento, Mento puts himself

635
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:09.519
<v Speaker 2>in the same situation, and no, you're right, it's not

636
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.159
<v Speaker 2>good for the game. No, that's you know, that's that's

637
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:14.880
<v Speaker 2>that's two problems.

638
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:21.440
<v Speaker 1>To looking at White Sox for a comedy. Is this

639
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:23.159
<v Speaker 1>his first home run since coming back?

640
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:28.719
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say it is in fact his Yeah, yeah,

641
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:29.360
<v Speaker 2>he came.

642
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Back on the tenth. Then it took him fifteen days,

643
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:35.679
<v Speaker 1>but he finally got his first home run. Yeah.

644
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:39.400
<v Speaker 2>And Jeremy Jeremy Penue with two home runs today and

645
00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:42.800
<v Speaker 2>he's hurt. It seems like he's hurt every day, but

646
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:46.400
<v Speaker 2>then he's back in the lineup, so I, yeah, I

647
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:50.639
<v Speaker 2>don't know what's happening there. Blanco for five five innings

648
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:53.840
<v Speaker 2>for for Houston and Eric Vetti for four.

649
00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:57.679
<v Speaker 1>And a third blockout in a dynasty. He was kind

650
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.960
<v Speaker 1>of setting the waiver wire, and I'm thinking, let me

651
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:03.880
<v Speaker 1>give it a whirl here, and I think he might

652
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.039
<v Speaker 1>be okay coming back from Tommy John So I haven't

653
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:10.360
<v Speaker 1>played him yet so so, but I'm hoping for long term.

654
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:12.559
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he comes back and be a number four starter

655
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.719
<v Speaker 1>for me. Well, speaking of the Astros, Cam Smith has

656
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:20.599
<v Speaker 1>been a disappointment. I expected more from him. I expected

657
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:21.360
<v Speaker 1>bigger power.

658
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:22.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

659
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, I was a little worried about is he wouldn't hit,

660
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:27.519
<v Speaker 1>but I expected more than a two of seven batting average.

661
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:28.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's not been.

662
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Good too, No, he has not. You know who hit

663
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:34.760
<v Speaker 2>the other home run for Houston today, our old friend

664
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:38.119
<v Speaker 2>and buddy, Taylor Trammel.

665
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, really that's cool.

666
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, he's playing in center field. You look at

667
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the Astros team, okay, and it's pretty amazing that they're

668
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.559
<v Speaker 2>close to five hundred. When you got Way Junior at

669
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:57.639
<v Speaker 2>first base and your outfield is batting catch this. Their

670
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:01.679
<v Speaker 2>outfield today is hitting seven, eight, nine, and Tremel Smith

671
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:05.800
<v Speaker 2>and Dezenzo. The fact that there are two games under

672
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:11.840
<v Speaker 2>five hundred is a credit to Jeremy and your Dan Alvarez.

673
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:16.039
<v Speaker 1>Especially your Dan Alvarez. I mean that that that's what

674
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:18.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm monsterrous. So if I'm sorry, can I go back

675
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:19.960
<v Speaker 1>to camp Smith? Yeah?

676
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I'm gonna say.

677
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say he's going to be on my,

678
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:30.159
<v Speaker 1>uh my target list next year. I'm looking at a

679
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:34.800
<v Speaker 1>guy that hits the ball hard. No, there's not much launch,

680
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:38.599
<v Speaker 1>so that's something that he needs to fix. He's got

681
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:42.239
<v Speaker 1>speed ninety third percentile, so there's definitely stolen base. But

682
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.760
<v Speaker 1>essentially he's thirteen armed runs, ten stolen bases. His batting

683
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:48.800
<v Speaker 1>average of balls and play is two forty two. With

684
00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:51.960
<v Speaker 1>how hard he hits the ball, it should be higher

685
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:56.079
<v Speaker 1>than that. I think there's opportunities with camp Smith. I

686
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:58.840
<v Speaker 1>think there's fifteen to twenty arm run power, fifteen to

687
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:01.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty stolen and I think he's gonna hit more than

688
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:03.519
<v Speaker 1>two o two two eight.

689
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:09.920
<v Speaker 2>There you go, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah no. And you're

690
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:10.880
<v Speaker 2>not gonna pay anymore.

691
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm not gonna pay anything for him. I mean

692
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:15.320
<v Speaker 1>he might be if he might go fifteen to fifteen

693
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:17.679
<v Speaker 1>this season, and that's going to give people some interest.

694
00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:20.480
<v Speaker 1>But if he stays at two ten to fifteen something

695
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:22.239
<v Speaker 1>like that. As a betty, I think there's growth there.

696
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I agree by the way, man the bells and whistles

697
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:32.559
<v Speaker 2>are going off. Four inning. Freddy's off the hook for

698
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:37.840
<v Speaker 2>the loss because Tyrone Taylor hit a three run homer

699
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:41.079
<v Speaker 2>and the Mets now have the lead over the Dodgers.

700
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:43.119
<v Speaker 1>For he's hid a lot of big home runs here

701
00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:44.360
<v Speaker 1>in the last few weeks.

702
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, he's up to eight, which puts him he's

703
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:55.519
<v Speaker 2>at the team leader. Oh no, it's probably total Yeah, yeah, no, yeah.

704
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who they're I don't know who they're

705
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:02.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna move, but they they got lots, they got lots

706
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:02.760
<v Speaker 2>of options.

707
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I think they're moving. I think they're moving everybody. Anybody

708
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:08.119
<v Speaker 1>that's not nailed down, they're.

709
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Moving and they're not moving. You ing, and they're not moving.

710
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Correct, They're not using they're not they're not the kad

711
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.440
<v Speaker 1>guys that are team minimum. They're they're they're moving anybody

712
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:19.599
<v Speaker 1>that's got money and they're going to read Love with

713
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.519
<v Speaker 1>more money guys next year and do it all over again.

714
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Wash rents repeat because it's necessary. Yes, Yeah, Tigers have

715
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:31.159
<v Speaker 2>got the lead now, O Dougie.

716
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:35.719
<v Speaker 1>And the Rangers are. The Rangers got the lead to

717
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:36.719
<v Speaker 1>two to one over the.

718
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Mariners Franchiseelde's actually picked pitched five innings for Detroit today

719
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:44.719
<v Speaker 2>and didn't get bombed.

720
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:47.280
<v Speaker 1>That's he's been tough to.

721
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh yfore history walks.

722
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:54.840
<v Speaker 1>He might. I mean, they might have to eat some

723
00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:57.199
<v Speaker 1>of a salary, but that would be a picture that

724
00:40:57.320 --> 00:40:58.199
<v Speaker 1>people would want.

725
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Well maybe left not for the club, club house, not

726
00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:06.280
<v Speaker 2>for the club os karma, that's for sure. That's and

727
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:08.920
<v Speaker 2>this is this is just and this is his second

728
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:12.400
<v Speaker 2>year of pitching poorly heading into the second half. I'm

729
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:14.800
<v Speaker 2>not saying it's gonna gonna last like last year, but

730
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:18.679
<v Speaker 2>last year was brutal. I gave UPJJ Weather for Bramber

731
00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Belt is trying to make a push for a title. Yeah,

732
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:24.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what the title I got was d a dumbass.

733
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's that's good. I gave you shot there ye

734
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:39.400
<v Speaker 1>coming up. That's that's dumbasses. Better like that. So so

735
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:42.039
<v Speaker 1>the Tigers are up four to three, and uh yeah,

736
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:44.760
<v Speaker 1>so it's oh and we were talking about the Rangers,

737
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:47.639
<v Speaker 1>our buddy White Langford with another hit one for two,

738
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:55.280
<v Speaker 1>uh pitching, Well, so there, you know, it's how they're

739
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:57.760
<v Speaker 1>doing it. Lengthford is obviously it's been all world.

740
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's been airing it up since he came back

741
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:02.559
<v Speaker 2>there's no.

742
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean they don't have a lot of boppers in

743
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:07.519
<v Speaker 1>that lineup.

744
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:17.440
<v Speaker 2>M No, got some power, but yeah who Miguel Vargus

745
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:20.719
<v Speaker 2>with a two run shot, breaking the tie. The White

746
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Sox are now up five to three and one step

747
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:25.800
<v Speaker 2>closer than me seeing Joe Biden. Mall so, I mean

748
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.440
<v Speaker 2>one step closer to the division titles.

749
00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:32.920
<v Speaker 1>That is for sure. That break and it's time to

750
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you do to your waiver wire, my friend. I've actually

751
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.760
<v Speaker 1>got some more questions for you, but let's take a

752
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:39.840
<v Speaker 1>quick break. Come back. I got some questions for you.

753
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:41.280
<v Speaker 1>To take a break and then uh.

754
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Wave a.

755
00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Lot of these questions we've already talked about. Uh how

756
00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a green got blown up all of a sudden. I

757
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:56.880
<v Speaker 1>looked down to him. He's got a seven oh six earra.

758
00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:58.920
<v Speaker 1>That's not what I expected.

759
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:07.519
<v Speaker 2>No, that's probably about four runs higher than you were expecting. Yeah,

760
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:12.639
<v Speaker 2>it's no, it hasn't been good. I would expect Cincinnati

761
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:16.039
<v Speaker 2>to start bringing up some of the kids, you know,

762
00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I know I was bullish on their outfielder. Oh it

763
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:24.119
<v Speaker 2>was a Rodriguez. I think we'll see him. Yeah, I

764
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:27.320
<v Speaker 2>think we'll see him fairly soon. Uh, they got to

765
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:31.280
<v Speaker 2>do something. It's just well, when I look every day,

766
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:34.079
<v Speaker 2>if it's not the Blue Jays that are inspire me,

767
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.800
<v Speaker 2>who are down six nothing, now it's Cincinnati. You know

768
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:40.199
<v Speaker 2>when you look at some of the talent in that lineup,

769
00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:42.079
<v Speaker 2>they should be a lot better than they are.

770
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:46.400
<v Speaker 1>It just hasn't worked him. I mean it's just no,

771
00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:49.800
<v Speaker 1>just go straight down the line. Besides led La Cruz

772
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Alberte really hasn't done it. No, I mean you just

773
00:43:56.239 --> 00:43:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it just have underperformed. It's a lot like the Orioles,

774
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:04.000
<v Speaker 1>where we expect that the Jackson Holidays, even the Counnor

775
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Henderson has been really good this season, He's not been

776
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:09.679
<v Speaker 1>super stardom like you know, that's what we expect. Now,

777
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:13.360
<v Speaker 1>he just hasn't done it. Adleie Rutchman has been okay

778
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:16.280
<v Speaker 1>where he got hurt. I mean just Cowser's up been

779
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:19.159
<v Speaker 1>very good. Beaver's has not been very I mean just

780
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:22.559
<v Speaker 1>and the same thing is true with the Reds. I

781
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:24.400
<v Speaker 1>mean it's just like they come up, they have a

782
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:27.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of fanfare and they just say it, they're.

783
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:32.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, okay, he's not okay, He's not good enough,

784
00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:35.519
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Like I haven't looked closely.

785
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:38.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, South Stewart's had a great year, very much

786
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:42.320
<v Speaker 2>and Eli, Yeah, but after that, I don't know what

787
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Spencer Steeer has done this year.

788
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Not much.

789
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:50.679
<v Speaker 2>Dane Myers in center field today, Edwin Arroyo hasn't he

790
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:54.880
<v Speaker 2>hasn't rocked anybody's world. You know, they got Martez now

791
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:59.719
<v Speaker 2>back on the bench, Friedel's on the bench. It's just, hey,

792
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.079
<v Speaker 2>I know the injury to Matt McClain hurt and Nick Rudolo.

793
00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:07.599
<v Speaker 1>And I guess it did, Yeah that that hurt. Yeah,

794
00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:10.719
<v Speaker 1>but still you got to have enough to be But

795
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:13.119
<v Speaker 1>even when Matt McClain was playing, this is a guy

796
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:17.559
<v Speaker 1>that was supposed to be potential star level talent and

797
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:18.280
<v Speaker 1>he's just not.

798
00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:24.079
<v Speaker 2>And no I need yeah, yeah, you look at the rotation. Okay,

799
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:27.159
<v Speaker 2>you got hundred green, Andrew Abbott's solid, Chase burn is

800
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:30.000
<v Speaker 2>a great young but your Brady Singer. You would expect

801
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:32.920
<v Speaker 2>with those four that you would have a little bit

802
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:36.119
<v Speaker 2>better record than what you got. I think what they've

803
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:39.159
<v Speaker 2>got to do is they've got to they've they've got

804
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:43.679
<v Speaker 2>to got some of those bats and get some give

805
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:46.840
<v Speaker 2>some of the younger players a shot. I bet betting

806
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:47.519
<v Speaker 2>on it. Happening.

807
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Dylan sees tem Me with another gem. I know there's

808
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:54.920
<v Speaker 1>been a lot of talking about Kem Schlittler winning the

809
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:58.079
<v Speaker 1>cy Young, but Dylan sees my friend is right there.

810
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.039
<v Speaker 1>He's only won seven games, and part of that that

811
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:03.320
<v Speaker 1>it's because the Blue Jays are terrible. But he's great.

812
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he has. I think he went to one hundred

813
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:12.519
<v Speaker 2>and twenty pitches somewhere in that range yesterday, and I

814
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:15.960
<v Speaker 2>know in the ninth inning after he allowed to walk,

815
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:18.920
<v Speaker 2>he just sort of brushed his glove one of those

816
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:21.639
<v Speaker 2>towards the dugout and said, nah, I'm going to finish

817
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:25.880
<v Speaker 2>this or up and he did. He's been outstanding. Yeah, definitely,

818
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:29.079
<v Speaker 2>between him and Okamodo, the highlights for the Jays this year.

819
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:32.239
<v Speaker 1>It's got a bit of a rubber arm, you know.

820
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking back to twenty twenty one, one hundred and

821
00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:38.760
<v Speaker 1>sixty five innings, four one seventy seven, eight nine, one

822
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:40.800
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight one there. I mean, this the guy that

823
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:42.119
<v Speaker 1>just has not been hurt.

824
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:46.320
<v Speaker 2>No, and I think he's going to be a workhorse

825
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:49.639
<v Speaker 2>until the day, isn't it. And when that happens, it's

826
00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:54.440
<v Speaker 2>going to be rather sudden. But no, a great performance,

827
00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:57.119
<v Speaker 2>and you know what was what was fascinating. I was

828
00:46:57.360 --> 00:46:59.679
<v Speaker 2>listening to part of the post game on that his

829
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.519
<v Speaker 2>lost he in the first inning was on the fastball.

830
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:06.239
<v Speaker 2>It was like ninety three, ninety four, and instantly there's

831
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:10.679
<v Speaker 2>red flags, danger, Will Robinson posts going up all over Twitter,

832
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:14.000
<v Speaker 2>what's wrong with you know, what's what's wrong with Dylan Cees?

833
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:18.199
<v Speaker 2>And in the post game he said that his arm

834
00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:23.760
<v Speaker 2>just didn't Yeah, it felt fine, but it just wasn't happening.

835
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:26.639
<v Speaker 2>And by the second inning, the velosity was back up

836
00:47:26.679 --> 00:47:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and everything was good, and he threw the most pitches

837
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:32.800
<v Speaker 2>he's thrown, I think in his career. So it was

838
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:36.480
<v Speaker 2>really weird to watch. He didn't have any he didn't

839
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:39.079
<v Speaker 2>say he had arm problems or anything along those lines.

840
00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:43.119
<v Speaker 2>It was just the velosity just wasn't there.

841
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:48.599
<v Speaker 1>His dead arm lasted a half in any yes here

842
00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:49.440
<v Speaker 1>for three weeks.

843
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was just bizarre. Like he said, there was

844
00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:56.719
<v Speaker 2>no reason for it. He didn't feel the arm, didn't

845
00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:59.599
<v Speaker 2>feel bad. He felt it felt a little tight, but

846
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:02.079
<v Speaker 2>loosened up in the second ending and he's back in

847
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:03.400
<v Speaker 2>ninety five to ninety seven.

848
00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Right, as I mentioned before, Once Soto hits the eel

849
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:11.159
<v Speaker 1>with a great two strain, not good tim that's usually

850
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:14.679
<v Speaker 1>more than two or three weeks. I'm wanting to see

851
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:16.519
<v Speaker 1>Juan Soto back this season.

852
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.400
<v Speaker 2>It is a possibility. Don't you know? His calf is

853
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:23.119
<v Speaker 2>calved more?

854
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Can we say bad season? He doesn't like Francisco Lindor.

855
00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:31.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean, I don't know, man. It doesn't

856
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:32.639
<v Speaker 1>feel good. And I got him in a couple of

857
00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:34.639
<v Speaker 1>they I don't know what to do. I mean, I'm

858
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:37.559
<v Speaker 1>putting Tyler Solder stroll for him. That's that's what I'm doing.

859
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:40.239
<v Speaker 1>In one league. I don't know what to do.

860
00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:44.519
<v Speaker 2>There is nothing to do, Ecuce. I've said it out

861
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:48.679
<v Speaker 2>and hope for better days ahead. It is disappointing though

862
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:53.960
<v Speaker 2>that how many more years do they have in that contract? Seventeen?

863
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, he's still really young too. I think he is fine.

864
00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:02.280
<v Speaker 1>They look we talked about it at NASE. I think

865
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:04.599
<v Speaker 1>they got to do something with that clubhouse and the

866
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Team's just that there's too much talent on that team

867
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:09.960
<v Speaker 1>for them to be as bad as they are. And

868
00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:14.079
<v Speaker 1>I hate words like playing on inspiring baseball and because

869
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I always feel like it's it's about the date,

870
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:19.360
<v Speaker 1>It's about what these guys can do. But the Mets,

871
00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the Blue Jays, they're all uninspiring. Man, they just look

872
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:24.000
<v Speaker 1>like they're going through the motions.

873
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and the problem, the thing that bothers me about

874
00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:33.320
<v Speaker 2>the Soto situations. They can resolve that club host problem.

875
00:49:33.519 --> 00:49:35.960
<v Speaker 2>But does that mean the next guy they bring in

876
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:38.639
<v Speaker 2>isn't going to be the same thing? Like at some

877
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:40.960
<v Speaker 2>point in time, don't the players just have to play

878
00:49:42.119 --> 00:49:45.360
<v Speaker 2>and live with then live with the fact that they

879
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:50.159
<v Speaker 2>might not actually be fishing buddies with all their teammates,

880
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:52.679
<v Speaker 2>but they still got to get out there and do

881
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:53.239
<v Speaker 2>their job.

882
00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

883
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if the if the Mets bring in two three

884
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:01.480
<v Speaker 2>players that he doesn't like, he's had runnings with it

885
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:03.920
<v Speaker 2>in the past, do we see the same thing all

886
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:04.480
<v Speaker 2>over again.

887
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:05.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

888
00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:08.320
<v Speaker 2>He's one sort of that important to an organization that

889
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:13.840
<v Speaker 2>he can dictate certain things. I look, I don't know, I.

890
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Know, I know it's I know it's fictional, but my

891
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:20.119
<v Speaker 1>wife and I are rewatching Ted Lasso. I don't know,

892
00:50:20.119 --> 00:50:22.239
<v Speaker 1>if you've ever seen at the Apple show of the

893
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:26.880
<v Speaker 1>soccer coach, it's wonderful. He's uh, he's this Kansas City,

894
00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:32.199
<v Speaker 1>He's a came from a coaching a Kansas City college

895
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:37.119
<v Speaker 1>program and he goes over. He's having problems with his wife,

896
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and his wife basically, we need to take a break.

897
00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:43.880
<v Speaker 1>So he takes this job coaching a premier football team.

898
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:47.519
<v Speaker 1>He knows nothing about soccer at all, and he goes

899
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:53.039
<v Speaker 1>over and it's this warm, positive energy that he brings

900
00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:57.559
<v Speaker 1>that's this folksy kind of Midwestern style, and it's just

901
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:01.079
<v Speaker 1>like a wonderful show. It's just a wonderful show. But

902
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it also shows like how he was able to work

903
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:08.639
<v Speaker 1>with the players and they had all these big stars

904
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:11.760
<v Speaker 1>on the team and nobody was working together, and just

905
00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:16.239
<v Speaker 1>like a calming presence of what a manager can provide.

906
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering if some of these teams need some of that.

907
00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:21.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, because the talent is there. I mean, nobody

908
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:24.239
<v Speaker 1>has as much talent. A few teams have as much

909
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:28.480
<v Speaker 1>talent as the as the Mets do. And the World

910
00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Series runner up is the same kind of role. I mean,

911
00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:34.840
<v Speaker 1>is there a problem at the top because that is

912
00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the role of the managers to make that team cohesive.

913
00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:40.679
<v Speaker 1>They're just not well.

914
00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:43.719
<v Speaker 2>No, maybe you don't need baseball people as managers. What

915
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:47.079
<v Speaker 2>you need is a combination social worker psychiatrist.

916
00:51:48.159 --> 00:51:50.679
<v Speaker 1>So there's on this Ted Lasso. There is a woman

917
00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:52.599
<v Speaker 1>who is and a lot of teams have this as

918
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:57.000
<v Speaker 1>sports psychologists that are there and these guys pump these

919
00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:59.960
<v Speaker 1>guys up, and a lot of teams have those either

920
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:01.960
<v Speaker 1>or half those people on call are actually have them

921
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:03.880
<v Speaker 1>on staff. I think the Dodgers have two of them,

922
00:52:03.920 --> 00:52:06.639
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken. So it just shows you how

923
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:10.880
<v Speaker 1>important were the better teams put their moneies. The Rockies

924
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:14.800
<v Speaker 1>don't have anybody. Just in case you're wondering, now.

925
00:52:14.719 --> 00:52:16.480
<v Speaker 2>You tell them to go down to the barbershop or

926
00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:18.679
<v Speaker 2>the bar neighborhood bar and talk to the guy who

927
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:22.679
<v Speaker 2>normal fix you up. He knows there you go.

928
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh, let's see if I got any other questions here

929
00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:29.960
<v Speaker 1>for you. I've now lost my notes here. Oh let's see,

930
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:34.719
<v Speaker 1>here we go, reports Ken Rosenthal. Oh, Nick Kurtz are back.

931
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:38.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's that's okay. Thing. So and hopefully Angel Martinez

932
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:41.800
<v Speaker 2>riche Grubert's deform. He's off to a slow start coming

933
00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:44.159
<v Speaker 2>back and the broken, but the Angel Martinez is back

934
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:44.639
<v Speaker 2>as well.

935
00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:50.719
<v Speaker 1>So solid. All right to me. Let's go to your

936
00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:54.800
<v Speaker 1>waiver wear my friend. Uh. Ten ten players on the wave.

937
00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:58.480
<v Speaker 1>We're wearing another three on the Closer Report. How how

938
00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:01.639
<v Speaker 1>is it trying to figure out looking for players? How

939
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:04.880
<v Speaker 1>do you feel the depth of the players you provide

940
00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:09.039
<v Speaker 1>at et cetera. Well, it was, it was.

941
00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:12.079
<v Speaker 2>It was tough. There hasn't been a lot happening, and

942
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:15.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, there were there were some late minute editions

943
00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:21.800
<v Speaker 2>because of the Mead trade. Okay, I found some names,

944
00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:26.559
<v Speaker 2>but it's it's a little bit later than I was expecting,

945
00:53:26.679 --> 00:53:28.880
<v Speaker 2>hoping to see more happening in the real game as

946
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:33.159
<v Speaker 2>we approached trade deadline. I'm sure next week and the

947
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:38.639
<v Speaker 2>week after, especially next week, hopefully we're going to see

948
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:41.079
<v Speaker 2>some activity this week and it won't be all last

949
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:44.280
<v Speaker 2>minute on the Monday, because for purposes of our game,

950
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:47.039
<v Speaker 2>that's not really what we want. It was, it was,

951
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:49.320
<v Speaker 2>it was tough sliding this week. Rich.

952
00:53:50.039 --> 00:53:52.639
<v Speaker 1>We might have to do a special podcast on like Tuesday.

953
00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, I think that might be a good idea

954
00:53:56.480 --> 00:53:57.840
<v Speaker 2>based on what we're seeing early on.

955
00:53:58.119 --> 00:54:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure, for sure. Or so all right, let's

956
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:05.840
<v Speaker 1>get into it. We got oh boy, c yep, there

957
00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:10.000
<v Speaker 1>we go. CS leads it off Christen and perne on

958
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:12.519
<v Speaker 1>Strand Now with the Baltimore Orioles.

959
00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, been tearing it up. Yeah, they called him up.

960
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Five games, three homers, nine RBIs eight or nineteen at

961
00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:25.920
<v Speaker 2>the dish. Kobe Mayo's got problems. If he's not looking

962
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:29.639
<v Speaker 2>over his shoulder, he should be. So he's starting to

963
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:34.440
<v Speaker 2>lose time already, and I could I could see that

964
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:36.599
<v Speaker 2>trend continuing moving forward.

965
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:41.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, Kobe Mayo can hit home runs, but he's striking

966
00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:43.400
<v Speaker 1>out a third of the time and he never walks. Yes,

967
00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:46.039
<v Speaker 1>and it's this is I mean a guy with an

968
00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:47.880
<v Speaker 1>on base percentage of two sixty three. That's not a

969
00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:50.360
<v Speaker 1>major league baseball player. So I don't care if you

970
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:52.280
<v Speaker 1>can't hit twenty twenty five arm runs and not a

971
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:55.320
<v Speaker 1>major league baseball player. So yet another one of the

972
00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Bootimore oriole guys that just has not taken the next step.

973
00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:02.039
<v Speaker 1>You look like a at miss prospect and he missed him.

974
00:55:03.039 --> 00:55:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Yep, it hasn't worked out well. So I don't think.

975
00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:12.280
<v Speaker 1>You can strand is not the answer either, my friend.

976
00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:15.840
<v Speaker 2>No, he might be short He might be short term though.

977
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean I get that. It's a fine inclusion,

978
00:55:20.679 --> 00:55:24.079
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think we're going to see the Orioles

979
00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:27.639
<v Speaker 1>announcing a long term contract in three years for cees,

980
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I would find that highly unusual.

981
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I would think the odds, yeah, are not stacked

982
00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:39.199
<v Speaker 2>in that direction. But short term, hey, any anybody can

983
00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:42.119
<v Speaker 2>be a star for two three weeks, and two three

984
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:44.639
<v Speaker 2>weeks were at the stardom in our fantasy rosters at

985
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:48.320
<v Speaker 2>this time of the year can go a long way

986
00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:50.079
<v Speaker 2>in getting you into the money.

987
00:55:51.800 --> 00:55:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we had a segment on our Friday show,

988
00:55:54.639 --> 00:55:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I know one week that had when will they get demoted?

989
00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:02.400
<v Speaker 1>And Kobe Mayo was in that list. He survived, and

990
00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:05.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't think for much longer. I just think this

991
00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:07.760
<v Speaker 1>is gonna end. This is gonna end poorly for him.

992
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Agreed.

993
00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Next guy is ty France.

994
00:56:13.800 --> 00:56:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, who thought we'd have to go to France to

995
00:56:16.880 --> 00:56:18.119
<v Speaker 2>get first base? Lfay?

996
00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:26.280
<v Speaker 1>You want you want to? You want to rimshot? All right? Yeah? Okay,

997
00:56:26.920 --> 00:56:30.559
<v Speaker 1>I was looking at the splits of of of Kobe Mayo,

998
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:34.400
<v Speaker 1>so that's what I was doing. So, Uh, okay, Kobe

999
00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Mayo hitting two eighty against left handed pitching, that's pretty good,

1000
00:56:39.480 --> 00:56:43.760
<v Speaker 1>right runs? Do you care to venture what he's hitting

1001
00:56:43.800 --> 00:56:46.239
<v Speaker 1>against right handed pitching? Uh?

1002
00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:49.840
<v Speaker 2>One with three home runs? Because I think he's got

1003
00:56:49.920 --> 00:56:50.800
<v Speaker 2>thirteen total.

1004
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:55.000
<v Speaker 1>He has he's one fifty three with three home runs.

1005
00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:56.039
<v Speaker 1>That's a problem.

1006
00:56:57.119 --> 00:56:59.119
<v Speaker 2>He's overachieving by my standards.

1007
00:56:59.800 --> 00:57:03.480
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a real this is this is not good.

1008
00:57:03.599 --> 00:57:06.559
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy that's got platoon splits and he's

1009
00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:07.440
<v Speaker 1>a right handed hitter.

1010
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and when you're facing three out of four righties

1011
00:57:14.280 --> 00:57:16.360
<v Speaker 2>versus lefties or whatever, the number is got to be

1012
00:57:16.360 --> 00:57:21.760
<v Speaker 2>close to that. Yeah, one forty or one fifty three average,

1013
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:24.960
<v Speaker 2>it's not good. That ain't gonna work. No, that's I'm good.

1014
00:57:25.719 --> 00:57:27.639
<v Speaker 2>But by Francis hitting everything.

1015
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to belabor this.

1016
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, one hundred and seventy one.

1017
00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Plate appearances versus right handed he's got three home runs

1018
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:41.280
<v Speaker 1>and twenty four hits. Half as many plate appearances against

1019
00:57:41.519 --> 00:57:44.960
<v Speaker 1>right handed hitters, and he's got the ten home runs

1020
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:48.719
<v Speaker 1>and as many hits. A real, real problem, Tom.

1021
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you don't want to be rostering platoon bats that

1022
00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:56.840
<v Speaker 2>only play against south buzzs. No, that is that's right,

1023
00:57:57.280 --> 00:57:57.719
<v Speaker 2>not good.

1024
00:57:58.079 --> 00:58:02.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, sorry, my friend expound ty France and do

1025
00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:03.280
<v Speaker 1>your joke again.

1026
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:10.039
<v Speaker 2>So something I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get. Yeah, yeah,

1027
00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:11.480
<v Speaker 2>we have to turn to France to get help it

1028
00:58:11.519 --> 00:58:15.920
<v Speaker 2>for his base. Uh yeah, past three weeks six homers,

1029
00:58:16.159 --> 00:58:18.400
<v Speaker 2>four In the past week he's driven in sixteen runs

1030
00:58:18.599 --> 00:58:24.239
<v Speaker 2>eleven seventy five ops. He's only rostered twenty four CBS.

1031
00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:28.119
<v Speaker 2>Is an opportunity to boost one's power numbers. Take advantage

1032
00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:32.159
<v Speaker 2>of it. He's playing on a regular basis, and he's

1033
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:35.079
<v Speaker 2>he's on a here right now, Go get him a look.

1034
00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's do one where if we take another break Anthony Ansen,

1035
00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:40.719
<v Speaker 1>this is you brought him up earlier. You think he's

1036
00:58:40.719 --> 00:58:41.679
<v Speaker 1>going to get a shot here.

1037
00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:46.039
<v Speaker 2>I I don't know if he's I would say the

1038
00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:51.679
<v Speaker 2>odds are against it. But long term, Hey, the Boston

1039
00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:55.320
<v Speaker 2>could go all three tree you savage, couldn't they that's

1040
00:58:55.360 --> 00:58:59.000
<v Speaker 2>what you want? They could? They could do that. Am

1041
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I betting on it? No? But I think when you

1042
00:59:03.039 --> 00:59:07.079
<v Speaker 2>start looking at keeper dynasty formats, if he's sitting in

1043
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:09.920
<v Speaker 2>your free agent pool, take care of that.

1044
00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Well.

1045
00:59:11.679 --> 00:59:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I had the guy.

1046
00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:16.800
<v Speaker 1>If any of our leagues are Patreon members, are a

1047
00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:19.199
<v Speaker 1>member of it, don't already own him. The shame on them.

1048
00:59:19.199 --> 00:59:22.239
<v Speaker 1>They should unsubscribe. They're not paying attention.

1049
00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:28.159
<v Speaker 2>So I'm in a twelve team keeper salary cap, just

1050
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:30.800
<v Speaker 2>a twelve team. I added him this week he was

1051
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:33.320
<v Speaker 2>still sitting out there, believe it or not. Monday.

1052
00:59:33.719 --> 00:59:35.960
<v Speaker 1>He's a roster. He's a top one under prospect. It

1053
00:59:36.039 --> 00:59:37.960
<v Speaker 1>might be top fifty. I don't even know. I don't

1054
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:40.360
<v Speaker 1>have my list up, but yeah.

1055
00:59:40.800 --> 00:59:42.960
<v Speaker 2>He's been lights out this year, so this this is

1056
00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:45.719
<v Speaker 2>more for the future. But I think there's there's an

1057
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:49.760
<v Speaker 2>outside chance. Hey, they could bring him up. Why why

1058
00:59:49.840 --> 00:59:52.039
<v Speaker 2>couldn't they? The Jay's brought up your Savage last year

1059
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:53.039
<v Speaker 2>worked out well for them.

1060
00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:56.719
<v Speaker 1>One thirteen. Era is walking a few too many guys,

1061
00:59:56.800 --> 01:00:01.000
<v Speaker 1>but he's got nasty stuff, ground ball machine. It's good

1062
01:00:01.360 --> 01:00:03.679
<v Speaker 1>to me to take a break and come back and

1063
01:00:04.920 --> 01:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>finish up your list. I have to make a confession

1064
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>jump last week, you graciously started our podcast early so

1065
01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I could watch the World Cup and watch the halftime

1066
01:00:28.039 --> 01:00:30.599
<v Speaker 1>halftime show of the World Cup with Madonna and so forth.

1067
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:33.719
<v Speaker 1>The halftime performance, I don't know if you've got a

1068
01:00:33.800 --> 01:00:38.079
<v Speaker 1>chance to watch. It might have been the worst twelve

1069
01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>minutes of television I have ever seen. Madonna. She let

1070
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:45.719
<v Speaker 1>it off, she lip synced it. She wasn't even on

1071
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the field. They had her kind of singing in a

1072
01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>car coming into it. It could have been pre done

1073
01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:57.119
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago. It was terrible. And then they had whatever

1074
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:00.519
<v Speaker 1>the Muppets are in a are in a half. I'm shill,

1075
01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:04.519
<v Speaker 1>you know you got problems. So the Muppets were there.

1076
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there was a.

1077
01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Bunch of people I never heard of that we're singing.

1078
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:10.519
<v Speaker 1>It was awful to terrible.

1079
01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:16.760
<v Speaker 2>So in other words, that's twelve or fifteen minutes of

1080
01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:18.400
<v Speaker 2>your life that you're never getting back.

1081
01:01:18.519 --> 01:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>It's it's about seven minutes because I bailed about seven.

1082
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>It just was as soon as I saw the Muppets,

1083
01:01:26.840 --> 01:01:30.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm out of here. That's like we're just

1084
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>jumping the shark on television programs here. That expression that's

1085
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>when you know that a musical performance has jumped the

1086
01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>shark is when the Muppets come on.

1087
01:01:39.920 --> 01:01:43.320
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that's yeah. I haven't waited for the Muppets

1088
01:01:43.400 --> 01:01:47.119
<v Speaker 2>or anything. No. Back to your.

1089
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Waverward Joonaheim cature with the athletics.

1090
01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, shame shade. Langelaires is Is is down and out.

1091
01:01:57.719 --> 01:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>So we got to find ourselves some catchers. So hey,

1092
01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:04.679
<v Speaker 2>when Jorda him who has hit nine homers during the

1093
01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:07.360
<v Speaker 2>thirty two runs so far, which is which is solid

1094
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>numbers from from a backup catcher, and he's only rostered

1095
01:02:10.880 --> 01:02:13.480
<v Speaker 2>to the two and to ten percent. He's going to

1096
01:02:13.519 --> 01:02:15.920
<v Speaker 2>get the bulk of the playing time and he's playing

1097
01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>in that band box for half his games. So if

1098
01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>give him a look, Yeah, he's well I think, I mean,

1099
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>he is what he is, So yeah, you could you

1100
01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:28.920
<v Speaker 2>could get five to eight home runs over the next

1101
01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:32.039
<v Speaker 2>couple of months with twenty twenty five RBIs and that

1102
01:02:32.199 --> 01:02:35.360
<v Speaker 2>two thirty two forty batting average. But people are gonna

1103
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:38.679
<v Speaker 2>have to find catchers somewhere. I think he's could possibly

1104
01:02:38.760 --> 01:02:42.679
<v Speaker 2>be the best option still sitting in your free agent pool,

1105
01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>So give it a look.

1106
01:02:45.119 --> 01:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Brady House talked about him early. Big, big power guy

1107
01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>does get a shot with the Curtis need being moved.

1108
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, Yeah, he most certainly does. And I think

1109
01:02:56.719 --> 01:02:59.880
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna play. I think he's going to play time,

1110
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:02.239
<v Speaker 2>full time, right through to the end of the year.

1111
01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>So again, I think he's a twenty twenty homer eighty

1112
01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:10.440
<v Speaker 2>RBI who strikes out too much. But short term that

1113
01:03:10.559 --> 01:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>could be five to seven home runs over the next

1114
01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:17.480
<v Speaker 2>couple of months with twenty five thirty RBIs. That's that

1115
01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>might help you out in your corner corner infield slot.

1116
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I again, the opportunity is there, and it's not like

1117
01:03:26.079 --> 01:03:30.559
<v Speaker 2>he played all that bad in his first stint this year,

1118
01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:34.199
<v Speaker 2>he just, I think, is who he is, and he's

1119
01:03:34.239 --> 01:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>going to strike out too much. The batting average is

1120
01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>going to be a problem. But if you need some

1121
01:03:37.920 --> 01:03:42.079
<v Speaker 2>power numbers, he's out there. Eleven percent roster.

1122
01:03:43.639 --> 01:03:46.559
<v Speaker 1>Hendrick Pinaga, why is he back?

1123
01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>We're we're skipping my Colorado started a good goal.

1124
01:03:51.519 --> 01:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I am saving, saving youth, embarrass all right, all right,

1125
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>bring it up. I was hoping it would just graciously

1126
01:04:03.840 --> 01:04:08.599
<v Speaker 1>skip over him. But Tim by recommending Gabriel Hughes, and

1127
01:04:08.719 --> 01:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>he says it's tough recommending him, but yet he goes

1128
01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>on to try to convince himself this is a bad ball, Tim.

1129
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, whenever you're arguing with yourself, okay, on something

1130
01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>that has been proving over a long period of time,

1131
01:04:22.599 --> 01:04:24.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm just good, it's not gonna work out.

1132
01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:28.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's the longest right up of everyone, And so

1133
01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>it's trying to convince himself and twelve that Gabriel Hughes

1134
01:04:33.519 --> 01:04:36.239
<v Speaker 1>is a pickupy. He's not. But go ahead him, please

1135
01:04:36.360 --> 01:04:37.639
<v Speaker 1>by all means, go ahead.

1136
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:41.079
<v Speaker 2>I think we covered enough already, Rich, thank you very much.

1137
01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Your hander open ango.

1138
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:48.519
<v Speaker 1>Wait minute, So let's see in the last three outings

1139
01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:51.679
<v Speaker 1>only six earned runs. Three at home against the Dodgers,

1140
01:04:51.719 --> 01:04:52.840
<v Speaker 1>truck out eighteen matters.

1141
01:04:52.960 --> 01:04:56.199
<v Speaker 2>There you go, right, Yeah, he's off to a good start.

1142
01:04:56.679 --> 01:05:00.199
<v Speaker 2>Ninety two mile hour pastoral. He's got a great extension. Mmm,

1143
01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:03.400
<v Speaker 2>big gum. I think he's in the top. I think

1144
01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:07.239
<v Speaker 2>he's somewhere on the extension. Hey, it's a long shot,

1145
01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:12.119
<v Speaker 2>very much so. But I just how often do we

1146
01:05:12.199 --> 01:05:13.920
<v Speaker 2>get the opportunity to it?

1147
01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:16.639
<v Speaker 1>It's fun. I'll give you that. I mean, no, no

1148
01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>one's gonna have him. I mean, no one is quite

1149
01:05:18.920 --> 01:05:21.159
<v Speaker 1>to have him. So I'm going.

1150
01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:24.079
<v Speaker 2>To add him just to prove the world wrong. Damn it. Okay,

1151
01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:28.400
<v Speaker 2>we'll bring this one up later down the road.

1152
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Look, yeah, you've you've got the White Sox call so.

1153
01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean anything Whitening can't strike twice with you, So

1154
01:05:38.039 --> 01:05:40.639
<v Speaker 1>I I will give you that. Gabriel, she used winds

1155
01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>up with a with a three and a half array

1156
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:45.119
<v Speaker 1>to finish the season off. I will come back and

1157
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:48.119
<v Speaker 1>say that you were the lord and master of the

1158
01:05:48.199 --> 01:05:50.840
<v Speaker 1>waiver wire. But I don't think anybody's still going to

1159
01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:55.039
<v Speaker 1>pick him up. I'm not holding my breath on either one. Right, Nope,

1160
01:05:55.880 --> 01:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay you Hendrik p n trying to say this phonetically, Pinago, Pinago,

1161
01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>that's right.

1162
01:06:03.199 --> 01:06:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think the J's are going to move our

1163
01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:08.239
<v Speaker 2>show Springer. I think it was going to be an

1164
01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:13.159
<v Speaker 2>opportunity for playing time right now he slotted into a

1165
01:06:13.239 --> 01:06:16.039
<v Speaker 2>regular slot. But I think it'll just a little by

1166
01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:19.119
<v Speaker 2>his value. You know, he's rostered to the tune of

1167
01:06:19.199 --> 01:06:22.519
<v Speaker 2>four percent, five homers twenty RBIs and I think it's

1168
01:06:22.519 --> 01:06:26.400
<v Speaker 2>about one hundred and sixty at bats. Yeah, if you're

1169
01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:28.559
<v Speaker 2>looking for an opeler's going to play every day and

1170
01:06:28.679 --> 01:06:33.079
<v Speaker 2>not hurt you, I think you should give give him

1171
01:06:33.079 --> 01:06:33.400
<v Speaker 2>a look.

1172
01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I probably included Pinaga and three dozen Patreon Daily daily notes.

1173
01:06:40.320 --> 01:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>I've written about him a ton, and it's a fun

1174
01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:46.719
<v Speaker 1>it's a fun player because he got stuck in High EN.

1175
01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>He could not get out of High A, and he

1176
01:06:50.119 --> 01:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>came in last season a little bit stronger and it

1177
01:06:54.840 --> 01:06:56.719
<v Speaker 1>just all of a sudden started to click for him.

1178
01:06:56.719 --> 01:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>He moved out of High A quickly, went through double A,

1179
01:06:59.000 --> 01:07:01.719
<v Speaker 1>gotten a triple A, and then bam, he got a shot.

1180
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>He's a nice little player. He's not going to be

1181
01:07:04.480 --> 01:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>a star, not even gonna be an impact player, but

1182
01:07:07.000 --> 01:07:09.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a nice little player, and it's you got to

1183
01:07:09.559 --> 01:07:12.039
<v Speaker 1>give him a lot of credit for just persevering. I

1184
01:07:12.079 --> 01:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>think it was parts of four seasons he was in

1185
01:07:14.599 --> 01:07:16.199
<v Speaker 1>high A and he finally.

1186
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Got WHOA, that's that's insane. Really Yeah, No, I think

1187
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:24.840
<v Speaker 2>he's Yeah. I think it's gonna be full time at

1188
01:07:24.920 --> 01:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>bats over the balance of the year. And I don't

1189
01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>think they're going to be bad at I think they're

1190
01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna be okay at that's four percent rostered. Hey, if

1191
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:36.559
<v Speaker 2>you're looking to try and fill an oatfield goal, I

1192
01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:37.679
<v Speaker 2>think he's an okay option.

1193
01:07:38.280 --> 01:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, just parts of four seasons. Twenty twenty one

1194
01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>he had twenty four games, then one hundred and eight games,

1195
01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:48.039
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifteen games and twenty two, one hundred

1196
01:07:48.039 --> 01:07:50.679
<v Speaker 1>and four games and twenty three and then one hundred

1197
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>then twenty nine games. Yeah, so it was pretty amazing.

1198
01:07:55.599 --> 01:07:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Luis fe which we haven't talked about it at all

1199
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:03.559
<v Speaker 1>this season. He's been very not been very good at all.

1200
01:08:03.559 --> 01:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I think he got did he get dfa'd.

1201
01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I believe so. Yeah, it just didn't you know,

1202
01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:13.639
<v Speaker 2>he had a couple of good years with the Angels

1203
01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:20.359
<v Speaker 2>and it just ended with a thud, and very very quickly.

1204
01:08:20.520 --> 01:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>But he's now with the Padres, and you know, over

1205
01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:30.119
<v Speaker 2>the past week or so, eleven for twenty four pair

1206
01:08:30.239 --> 01:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>home runs seven RBIs, you can stole a base. I

1207
01:08:33.640 --> 01:08:36.279
<v Speaker 2>don't he have to spend much. He's only rostered to

1208
01:08:36.399 --> 01:08:42.079
<v Speaker 2>the two to three percent. But who's to say he

1209
01:08:42.239 --> 01:08:46.760
<v Speaker 2>can't have another week like he had last week. I'd

1210
01:08:46.800 --> 01:08:49.239
<v Speaker 2>been a few bucks second base, third base, and outfield

1211
01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:53.079
<v Speaker 2>eligibility is sitting there for for a buck or two.

1212
01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I take a chance on it. Ring Ethel just to

1213
01:08:55.840 --> 01:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>see what shakes down in week two of his tenure

1214
01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:02.119
<v Speaker 2>with the Padres.

1215
01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>To the Padres move Mason Miller, Well, when.

1216
01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:13.119
<v Speaker 2>When we when we get down to the closer report,

1217
01:09:13.800 --> 01:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I think I think there's I think there's a chance,

1218
01:09:16.159 --> 01:09:21.520
<v Speaker 2>and I've recommended war drown. Okay, I think there is

1219
01:09:21.520 --> 01:09:22.560
<v Speaker 2>a chance that they move them.

1220
01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, they said they, I mean they apparently they're open

1221
01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:31.279
<v Speaker 1>to it. So they gave up Lewis of Leo DeVry,

1222
01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:34.199
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, we'll see if they get like

1223
01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:37.319
<v Speaker 1>value in return. I mean, Mason Miller is a monster,

1224
01:09:37.520 --> 01:09:38.319
<v Speaker 1>So maybe they will.

1225
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's because because you know, when we get down

1226
01:09:43.800 --> 01:09:46.880
<v Speaker 2>was a good picture, he can more he can more

1227
01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:51.039
<v Speaker 2>than capably move into the ninth inning and do a

1228
01:09:51.199 --> 01:09:54.159
<v Speaker 2>very fine job, I think in San Diego. So if

1229
01:09:54.199 --> 01:09:57.079
<v Speaker 2>I was the Padres, I'd be looking at it. Get

1230
01:09:57.119 --> 01:10:00.319
<v Speaker 2>what you can out of Miller. You've got You've got

1231
01:10:00.359 --> 01:10:02.479
<v Speaker 2>somebody there who can already do the job. It's not

1232
01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:05.439
<v Speaker 2>how much are you losing versus how much can you

1233
01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:06.399
<v Speaker 2>potentially gain?

1234
01:10:09.279 --> 01:10:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I I it's I think it's an

1235
01:10:12.239 --> 01:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>interesting call, and particularly if you think Mason Miller is

1236
01:10:14.880 --> 01:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be moving Kendrie Rojas starting picture with the

1237
01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota Twins.

1238
01:10:20.039 --> 01:10:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, better known as the other half of the Louis

1239
01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Arland trade off to a solid start. My bread is

1240
01:10:29.159 --> 01:10:32.239
<v Speaker 2>dealing with a bleak issue. You can find himself on

1241
01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the il and we could be looking a little bit

1242
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>more so. Basically, I went to the Patreon page and

1243
01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:43.960
<v Speaker 2>pulled off pulled up your review and it's it's a

1244
01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:46.920
<v Speaker 2>fairly good one. Rich. I'll let you expand from here.

1245
01:10:48.039 --> 01:10:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm looking at some other stuff and I've got

1246
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to talk now. Okay, So two Sam or four Samer

1247
01:10:56.279 --> 01:10:59.279
<v Speaker 1>the row is reasonably hard in mid nineties fastball up

1248
01:10:59.399 --> 01:11:04.279
<v Speaker 1>the nineties seven. That's directly from stat cast. The problem

1249
01:11:04.279 --> 01:11:09.159
<v Speaker 1>has always been his his finding a decent breaking pitch.

1250
01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:12.640
<v Speaker 1>But it will the slider will will flash plus. But

1251
01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the change up is what his what his weapon is, right,

1252
01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>so that his weapon of choice is his change up. So,

1253
01:11:20.239 --> 01:11:22.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think he's a back of the rotation guy,

1254
01:11:22.439 --> 01:11:25.119
<v Speaker 1>maybe a number four starter. Maybe if he can find

1255
01:11:25.159 --> 01:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>a better spin on a slider, he can move to

1256
01:11:27.800 --> 01:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the number three starter. But I I yeah, I mean

1257
01:11:32.800 --> 01:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I think there could be something there. Again, came up

1258
01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>as a Ray and now is with the Royals. Twis

1259
01:11:39.680 --> 01:11:40.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry?

1260
01:11:41.239 --> 01:11:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I I just saw his last f for

1261
01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:48.239
<v Speaker 2>yesterday and he pitched well. Yeah, so I thought, yeah,

1262
01:11:48.319 --> 01:11:53.199
<v Speaker 2>with the health concerns around Ryan and he might be

1263
01:11:53.359 --> 01:11:57.479
<v Speaker 2>somebody of interest in deeper league. Should be indefinitely an

1264
01:11:57.560 --> 01:11:58.600
<v Speaker 2>el always.

1265
01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Interesting. Yeah, I bet your area of expertise trying to

1266
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:07.479
<v Speaker 1>predict when they're going to come up. But uh, I

1267
01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know. We'll see if he if he gets the call. Uh.

1268
01:12:10.840 --> 01:12:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Last guy is James Triantos, second base with the with

1269
01:12:15.039 --> 01:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the Cubs, and I think Petri Ramirez is still playing

1270
01:12:18.920 --> 01:12:21.159
<v Speaker 1>fairly well with them, and.

1271
01:12:21.319 --> 01:12:23.439
<v Speaker 2>So he's still Yeah, a good game yesterday.

1272
01:12:23.600 --> 01:12:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I thought I thought, I'm bummed about Moys's Bellisterius

1273
01:12:28.319 --> 01:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and another guy that I got wrong. I thought he'd

1274
01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:35.119
<v Speaker 1>be good. He's just was not so anyway.

1275
01:12:35.199 --> 01:12:38.600
<v Speaker 2>James Triantos, Yeah, I was only surprise when he got

1276
01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:41.079
<v Speaker 2>called up because he really didn't have any place to play.

1277
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:45.079
<v Speaker 2>But he's a nice I like Treandos. I think he's

1278
01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:47.520
<v Speaker 2>a nice little player. He's got a little pop, a

1279
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:50.479
<v Speaker 2>little more than just a little bit of speed, knows

1280
01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:53.159
<v Speaker 2>his way decently on the strike zone. Where does he play,

1281
01:12:53.239 --> 01:12:56.800
<v Speaker 2>that's the question. And yeah, if you're looking at NL

1282
01:12:57.000 --> 01:13:00.720
<v Speaker 2>only formats, yeah I would, I'd be looking at him

1283
01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:03.560
<v Speaker 2>this week. But I just don't know how he fits

1284
01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:05.760
<v Speaker 2>into the big scheme of things in UG. I was

1285
01:13:05.800 --> 01:13:09.119
<v Speaker 2>a little surprised he got the call, especially with Yeah

1286
01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:11.720
<v Speaker 2>you look at you look at the Cubs in their

1287
01:13:11.760 --> 01:13:16.520
<v Speaker 2>middle endfield and yeah, but you got Nico Horner and

1288
01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:18.800
<v Speaker 2>zagon base and got Dans we swore and Swans and

1289
01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:24.279
<v Speaker 2>his short stuff, and then you got Trientos and you know,

1290
01:13:24.399 --> 01:13:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Pedro Ramirez has been playing at d H. Yeah, there's

1291
01:13:28.920 --> 01:13:34.600
<v Speaker 2>no shortage of middle infield, maybe maybe outfield depth. Uh,

1292
01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:38.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, they got Conforto on the bench, so I

1293
01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:41.439
<v Speaker 2>don't know how he fits into things and why the

1294
01:13:41.600 --> 01:13:44.840
<v Speaker 2>call up, But I don't think we can totally ignore

1295
01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:49.000
<v Speaker 2>it because there's some potential there for fantasy free friendly numbers.

1296
01:13:49.479 --> 01:13:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he plays, Hey, one game, just one one at bat,

1297
01:13:52.479 --> 01:13:55.600
<v Speaker 1>got his first hit, so that's all good. Let's see

1298
01:13:55.600 --> 01:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>if he's played. He's played a little center field in

1299
01:13:58.640 --> 01:14:02.079
<v Speaker 1>the miners, a little right old this season, a little

1300
01:14:02.119 --> 01:14:04.359
<v Speaker 1>left field, so he's played a little bit of the outfield,

1301
01:14:04.399 --> 01:14:06.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's primarily been at second and at third base.

1302
01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:10.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't see as a center fielder, but he could

1303
01:14:10.239 --> 01:14:12.439
<v Speaker 1>play one of the corner outfield spots.

1304
01:14:13.199 --> 01:14:15.560
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, but you got Ian haf and say, is

1305
01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Suzuki there?

1306
01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

1307
01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he grow strong in center field. Yeah, it's like

1308
01:14:22.520 --> 01:14:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I said, it caught me off guard because I certainly

1309
01:14:25.479 --> 01:14:30.119
<v Speaker 2>wasn't expecting it. But I don't think we can totally

1310
01:14:30.239 --> 01:14:34.199
<v Speaker 2>ignore it. That makes sense, Yep, I don't buy that.

1311
01:14:34.359 --> 01:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, let's take a break, come back, and let's

1312
01:14:37.000 --> 01:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>do your closer report. I got at you way some

1313
01:14:54.039 --> 01:14:56.079
<v Speaker 1>really good names in there. Who who would you be?

1314
01:14:56.119 --> 01:14:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Who would be? At the top of your list to

1315
01:14:58.279 --> 01:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>pick up.

01:15:01.199 --> 01:15:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Who would be at the top of my list? Uh off,

1317
01:15:04.840 --> 01:15:08.399
<v Speaker 2>this week's we were Let me just flip back to it.

1318
01:15:09.119 --> 01:15:19.159
<v Speaker 2>A Yeah House, Ring Epo, ty France, those some combination

1319
01:15:19.319 --> 01:15:23.039
<v Speaker 2>of those three. I would I would probably be looking

1320
01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:27.680
<v Speaker 2>at at Brady House because he's going to play all year.

1321
01:15:28.039 --> 01:15:32.279
<v Speaker 2>An Angle an Angle or ring Etho have that same

1387
01:19:32.119 --> 01:19:35.560
<v Speaker 2>rin Taro Sazaki, he made his decision. He's not going

1388
01:19:35.680 --> 01:19:38.319
<v Speaker 2>back to Japan. He's gonna His dream was always to

1389
01:19:38.399 --> 01:19:43.359
<v Speaker 2>play in Major League baseball. Okay, did you include rin

1390
01:19:43.479 --> 01:19:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Tero Sazaki in your list of players that you added

1391
01:19:47.880 --> 01:19:49.600
<v Speaker 2>after the draft or did you pass?

1392
01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh? I didn't even know he signed.

1393
01:19:56.880 --> 01:19:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, he.

1394
01:19:58.279 --> 01:20:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't just I just I will include him if you know,

1395
01:20:04.199 --> 01:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>if you feel it's appropriate.

1396
01:20:05.720 --> 01:20:10.640
<v Speaker 2>So somebody's years old, you know, college kid, Yeah, a

1397
01:20:10.680 --> 01:20:12.279
<v Speaker 2>couple of good years with Stanford.

1398
01:20:12.479 --> 01:20:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1399
01:20:13.159 --> 01:20:16.680
<v Speaker 2>No, he decided he was drafted in Japan as well

1400
01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:20.520
<v Speaker 2>as drafted here. And the money he could have made three,

1401
01:20:20.760 --> 01:20:22.880
<v Speaker 2>three or four times of money, I believe in Japan

1402
01:20:23.000 --> 01:20:25.920
<v Speaker 2>as compared to here. But he's his dream. He came

1403
01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:29.399
<v Speaker 2>to Stanford. His dream was to play in Major League baseball.

1404
01:20:29.479 --> 01:20:31.920
<v Speaker 2>So he signed with the Marlins. For I had six

1405
01:20:32.039 --> 01:20:37.000
<v Speaker 2>or eight hundred thousand something like that. Cool story. Anyways,

1406
01:20:37.479 --> 01:20:38.560
<v Speaker 2>my eighth eighth.

1407
01:20:38.439 --> 01:20:41.600

01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:47.239
<v Speaker 1>the Miami Marlins two hundred ten thousand dollars bonus. Yeah,

1409
01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:49.279
<v Speaker 1>so he didn't sign for a whole lot. So all right,

1410
01:20:49.319 --> 01:20:51.319
<v Speaker 1>I'll dig into him. I did not include him.

1411

01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean I totally get it.

1469
01:24:26.760 --> 01:24:29.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'm not delving it into it either.

1470
01:24:30.000 --> 01:24:32.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he'll get moved because I don't think anybody.

1471
01:24:32.319 --> 01:24:34.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he can move. I don't think anybody believes.

1472
01:24:34.199 --> 01:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody wants them. I'm talking major league.

1473
01:24:38.399 --> 01:24:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, He's bounced around all over the place the

1474
01:24:40.479 --> 01:24:43.960
<v Speaker 2>past couple of years, and he hasn't been successful. He's

1475
01:24:44.039 --> 01:24:46.399
<v Speaker 2>on a roll right now, and he's got an opportunity,

1476
01:24:47.279 --> 01:24:52.520
<v Speaker 2>So I think to roster him it's the highest of risks.

1477
01:24:52.600 --> 01:24:54.840
<v Speaker 2>But if you hey, if you need a half a

1478
01:24:54.920 --> 01:24:57.560
<v Speaker 2>dozen saves to gain a couple of points in your league,

1479
01:24:57.760 --> 01:25:01.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you can totally ignore that risk at

1480
01:25:01.279 --> 01:25:02.279
<v Speaker 2>this stage of the season.

1481
01:25:03.319 --> 01:25:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've got some I've got some team, So I

1482
01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:07.680
<v Speaker 1>just don't have any any closers at all. I mean,

1483
01:25:07.720 --> 01:25:10.159
<v Speaker 1>they're just they're just bad. I mean they've all gotten

1484
01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>hurt or traded or something. His Era six fourteen expected

1485
01:25:14.880 --> 01:25:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Era four twenty six, it's not bad. So that's pretty good.

1486
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here his fastball still coming in at ninety

1487
01:25:24.159 --> 01:25:31.199
<v Speaker 1>four decent slider, Yeah, it's still two pitch pitcher. How many?

1488
01:25:31.479 --> 01:25:35.159
<v Speaker 1>How's he walking? Is whoa thirteen fourteen percent walk rate?

1489
01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah yeah, so he's still walking too many?

1490
01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he doesn't really know where it's going.

1491
01:25:44.359 --> 01:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Never has no even worse this year though, because his

1492
01:25:48.840 --> 01:25:52.039
<v Speaker 1>walk rate's always been like nine eight seven percent and

1493
01:25:52.119 --> 01:25:53.960
<v Speaker 1>that's up at fourteen percent this year. I don't know

1494
01:25:54.039 --> 01:25:56.920
<v Speaker 1>what it's been like since he joined the Rockies. But okay,

1495
01:25:57.000 --> 01:25:59.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, yeah, there you go. First one Eddie yeen

1496
01:26:00.239 --> 01:26:01.439
<v Speaker 1>e a y.

1497
01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:07.880
<v Speaker 2>E a n Yes, this is my I've had a

1498
01:26:08.039 --> 01:26:11.359
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal amount of good fortune over the past few years

1499
01:26:11.439 --> 01:26:16.720
<v Speaker 2>and picking up pitchers like Louis Berland and Gomez in Minnesota,

1500
01:26:17.680 --> 01:26:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and this is more of this is more of a

1501
01:26:22.159 --> 01:26:27.159
<v Speaker 2>deep hunch on my behalf. Okay, then that's bullpen has

1502
01:26:27.239 --> 01:26:29.560
<v Speaker 2>been a mess this year. Clayton Beaders got the job.

1503
01:26:29.960 --> 01:26:33.239
<v Speaker 2>He's blown five at a fourteen chances, he's walked nineteen

1504
01:26:33.279 --> 01:26:38.800
<v Speaker 2>and thirty two. There's he's got the job. But Eddie En, Yeah,

1505
01:26:38.840 --> 01:26:40.880
<v Speaker 2>he throws our a Ady een was just called up.

1506
01:26:40.960 --> 01:26:43.479
<v Speaker 2>He's got a big fastball ninety seven point six miles

1507
01:26:43.479 --> 01:26:47.279
<v Speaker 2>an hour. I think there's an opportunity in Washington, much

1508
01:26:47.399 --> 01:26:49.880
<v Speaker 2>like there was an opportunity in Minnesota a couple of

1509
01:26:49.960 --> 01:26:54.479
<v Speaker 2>months ago that Gomez seized. And I'm calling this one

1510
01:26:55.600 --> 01:26:59.560
<v Speaker 2>one of my tim hunches. But if you've got room

1511
01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:03.199
<v Speaker 2>on your reserver, your minory league roster and dynasty formats,

1512
01:27:03.800 --> 01:27:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I find a home for this kid, because I think

1513
01:27:07.640 --> 01:27:13.239
<v Speaker 2>with the general all around instability in Washington the bullpen,

1514
01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:16.520
<v Speaker 2>if this kid pitch as well as he has and

1515
01:27:16.640 --> 01:27:19.880
<v Speaker 2>continues to pitch well, I think he could move into

1516
01:27:20.079 --> 01:27:25.920
<v Speaker 2>a position of prominence reasonably quickly. Okay, so it's a hunch.

1517
01:27:27.159 --> 01:27:30.039
<v Speaker 1>He's never been able. He's never been able to to

1518
01:27:30.399 --> 01:27:32.239
<v Speaker 1>throw a lot of strikes, and that's been his problem.

1519
01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:36.399
<v Speaker 1>He's also he's also a sinker change up guy, which

1520
01:27:36.399 --> 01:27:37.960
<v Speaker 1>is kind of interesting. But a sinker guy is not

1521
01:27:38.000 --> 01:27:42.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna have huge strikeout totals. But okay, yeah, it's just

1522
01:27:42.640 --> 01:27:44.800
<v Speaker 1>one of my for in a couple of leagues, I

1523
01:27:44.920 --> 01:27:45.760
<v Speaker 1>might take a gander.

1524
01:27:47.079 --> 01:27:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what do you got to lose. He's not roster.

1525
01:27:50.159 --> 01:27:51.560
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna throw a buck for me.

1526
01:27:51.640 --> 01:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I get a chance to make fun of you.

1527
01:27:53.119 --> 01:28:00.399
<v Speaker 2>So for me, I've got enough. I've got enough rocky

1528
01:28:00.479 --> 01:28:03.960
<v Speaker 2>starters and closers on here. You got lots of targets.

1529
01:28:07.159 --> 01:28:08.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a good call by you know, it's a well

1530
01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:11.039
<v Speaker 1>thought out I appreciate that. I mean, I didn't realize

1531
01:28:11.079 --> 01:28:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Clayton Peter was was that was not getting it done.

1532
01:28:15.159 --> 01:28:18.279
<v Speaker 1>And you know, look, if the Want Nationals think they're in,

1533
01:28:18.439 --> 01:28:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I think they might actually trade for a closer. I

1534
01:28:20.960 --> 01:28:22.760
<v Speaker 1>mean that could be a possibility as well.

1535
01:28:23.720 --> 01:28:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's entirely possible. All I know is that things

1536
01:28:27.159 --> 01:28:31.159
<v Speaker 2>can happen relatively quickly in the world of closers. Louis

1537
01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Louis Varland was won this year, and Gomez in Minnesota. Okay,

1538
01:28:36.680 --> 01:28:39.680
<v Speaker 2>he's got the job and he's owning it and pitching

1539
01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:44.359
<v Speaker 2>very very well. So you can't have pictures that are

1540
01:28:44.640 --> 01:28:49.479
<v Speaker 2>just in, you know, the right situation at the right

1541
01:28:49.560 --> 01:28:53.359
<v Speaker 2>time to make hay And I think tossing a buck

1542
01:28:53.439 --> 01:28:55.640
<v Speaker 2>or two down at some of these pictures on occasion

1543
01:28:56.279 --> 01:28:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Kennery huge rewards and it's something I've done very well

1544
01:28:59.680 --> 01:29:04.600
<v Speaker 2>over the years. So it's a hunch, but for a buck,

1545
01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I think it's an okay hunt.

1546
01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Last guy is Adrian Moore John Yeah.

1547
01:29:11.680 --> 01:29:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you know we've talked about, you know, the Red

1548
01:29:14.920 --> 01:29:18.439
<v Speaker 2>Sox moving Chapman a while back and with with luck

1549
01:29:18.600 --> 01:29:22.239
<v Speaker 2>and you know that's that's not gonna what could happen there.

1550
01:29:22.840 --> 01:29:24.439
<v Speaker 1>That's not happening Chapman.

1551
01:29:25.159 --> 01:29:29.920
<v Speaker 2>No, not in Boston, Yeah, not in Boston. But it

1552
01:29:29.960 --> 01:29:34.359
<v Speaker 2>should be happening in New York. You know the Mets,

1553
01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:41.079
<v Speaker 2>they should be Yeah, you know, so in the event

1554
01:29:41.199 --> 01:29:45.920
<v Speaker 2>that the Padres do get an offer they like Adrian

1555
01:29:46.000 --> 01:29:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Mordron moves into the closure rule and he's more than

1556
01:29:49.039 --> 01:29:56.039
<v Speaker 2>capable of doing the Job's great stuff, uh, proven history. Hey,

1557
01:29:57.279 --> 01:30:01.039
<v Speaker 2>there's no saying what's going to happen with Miller. But

1558
01:30:01.319 --> 01:30:03.279
<v Speaker 2>if you want to toss a couple of bucks down

1559
01:30:03.359 --> 01:30:06.159
<v Speaker 2>tonight on a guy that could be the closer a

1560
01:30:06.239 --> 01:30:09.439
<v Speaker 2>week from now, I think he's one guy worthy of

1561
01:30:09.479 --> 01:30:10.119
<v Speaker 2>a couple bucks.

1562
01:30:11.880 --> 01:30:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Good call, love it and let's before we leave. I

1563
01:30:16.680 --> 01:30:20.600
<v Speaker 1>want to just Scot A. Rosser resource good to the

1564
01:30:20.720 --> 01:30:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Mets and knowing that the Mets are going to implode

1565
01:30:24.119 --> 01:30:28.199
<v Speaker 1>that team, I say, Levin Williams and Luke Weaver gets moved.

1566
01:30:28.199 --> 01:30:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Who do I want? Brooks Raley?

1567
01:30:33.279 --> 01:30:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Nobody. Brooks Railey is probably the guy I would I

1568
01:30:37.239 --> 01:30:40.720
<v Speaker 2>would think that would get the first opportunity.

1569
01:30:41.159 --> 01:30:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know of thirty eight, so he's probably gonna

1570
01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:45.319
<v Speaker 1>get moved too.

1571
01:30:46.399 --> 01:30:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The guy that sort of interests me there as

1572
01:30:49.479 --> 01:30:51.680
<v Speaker 2>we were because he's on a pretty expensive I think

1573
01:30:51.720 --> 01:30:54.960
<v Speaker 2>he's on about an eleven million dollars deal over next year.

1574
01:30:56.439 --> 01:30:58.720
<v Speaker 2>He's big. The Mets signed him for pretty big bucks,

1575
01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:04.479
<v Speaker 2>so I I'm not I'm not saying that Devin Williams

1576
01:31:04.560 --> 01:31:07.039
<v Speaker 2>is cheap. He's not, but I think the focus would

1577
01:31:07.079 --> 01:31:09.600
<v Speaker 2>be more on moving Williams and for se wea we

1578
01:31:09.760 --> 01:31:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I think there's still an oeeside chance that we were

1579
01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:12.000
<v Speaker 2>stays in.

1580
01:31:12.039 --> 01:31:18.199
<v Speaker 1>New York two years, twenty two million dollars or so. Yeah, yeah,

1581
01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:24.199
<v Speaker 1>so but although he's better than Devin Williams.

1582
01:31:24.560 --> 01:31:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he has and if you yeah, they might want

1583
01:31:27.800 --> 01:31:31.039
<v Speaker 2>to go into next year with Luke Weaver as their closer. Yeah.

1584
01:31:31.199 --> 01:31:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I think he gets moved. He I mean, this

1585
01:31:33.640 --> 01:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>is really good this season. Ten come on, straight out? Yeah,

1586
01:31:37.359 --> 01:31:40.000
<v Speaker 1>two point four walks for nine and one or a.

1587
01:31:41.800 --> 01:31:45.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Where is he going though? Is the question? Philadelphia

1588
01:31:45.479 --> 01:31:48.439
<v Speaker 2>in a setup role as a possibility with a Mets

1589
01:31:48.520 --> 01:31:51.199
<v Speaker 2>trade with the Phillies. Yeah, but I mean you look

1590
01:31:51.239 --> 01:31:53.279
<v Speaker 2>at the playoff teams. He ain't going to the Dodgers

1591
01:31:53.319 --> 01:31:55.840
<v Speaker 2>because the Dodgers are getting in when Diaz back this week,

1592
01:31:56.800 --> 01:31:59.640
<v Speaker 2>so they're deep, their deep, solid bullpen just got a

1593
01:31:59.680 --> 01:32:04.880
<v Speaker 2>deep and more solid, you know, hoping. Well, he could

1594
01:32:04.920 --> 01:32:07.840
<v Speaker 2>go to Bolt Baltimore supposedly all in and they could

1595
01:32:07.880 --> 01:32:11.640
<v Speaker 2>take they can take a shot at a picture like

1596
01:32:11.760 --> 01:32:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Luke Weaver, and he might move into the closure the Cubs.

1597
01:32:15.880 --> 01:32:17.520
<v Speaker 2>There's an opportunity for Luke Weaver.

1598
01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I don't know if I think I'll just

1599
01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:22.960
<v Speaker 1>be it. I think he'd be a depth arm and

1600
01:32:23.039 --> 01:32:25.359
<v Speaker 1>I think most of the contenders would want to have

1601
01:32:25.479 --> 01:32:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Luke Weaver in their bullpen pitching the six, seventh, eighth,

1602
01:32:28.920 --> 01:32:31.399
<v Speaker 1>an any kind of stuff. I don't think you need them. Remember,

1603
01:32:31.439 --> 01:32:33.920
<v Speaker 1>these these big teams, they're going to all load up

1604
01:32:33.960 --> 01:32:37.439
<v Speaker 1>with bullpen depth. And that's what screws fantasy managers at

1605
01:32:37.479 --> 01:32:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the end of this at the end of the trade deadline,

1606
01:32:39.760 --> 01:32:43.159
<v Speaker 1>always the closer goes and becomes a sixth inning guy somewhere.

1607
01:32:44.199 --> 01:32:46.479
<v Speaker 2>Right, But when you look at the match, who you

1608
01:32:46.560 --> 01:32:50.319
<v Speaker 2>who you want in there? Aj Minter, he's still kicking around.

1609
01:32:50.399 --> 01:32:52.760
<v Speaker 2>He saved some games in the past, where as a

1610
01:32:52.840 --> 01:32:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Bend maybe.

1611
01:32:54.239 --> 01:32:56.159
<v Speaker 1>He's he's forty years old. They got a bunch of

1612

1614
01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:03.920
<v Speaker 1>speculate on anybody at the moment. Maybe it is Jonathan

1622
01:33:30.199 --> 01:33:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't see sele Gres being able to do it, but.

1623
01:33:33.880 --> 01:33:38.560
<v Speaker 1>A longtime Orio guy could never do it. There. Yeah, yep, Tommy,

1626
01:33:43.119 --> 01:33:44.840
<v Speaker 1>for lost time that we didn't get a chance to

1627
01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:48.199
<v Speaker 1>do on Friday. Apologies everyone, I had grandparent duty on

1628
01:33:48.319 --> 01:33:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Friday and that took precedent to me. What am I

01:33:51.880 --> 01:33:53.560
<v Speaker 1>going to say? Right, Sometimes you.

1630
01:33:53.560 --> 01:33:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Have to do what you have to do well. At

1631
01:33:55.720 --> 01:33:58.720
<v Speaker 2>some point in time, your grandkids, okay, we'll be coming

1632
01:33:58.800 --> 01:34:01.159
<v Speaker 2>to visit you in the nurse home and hopefully they

1633
01:34:01.239 --> 01:34:04.760
<v Speaker 2>remember all the candy you brought them, okay, and they

1634
01:34:04.840 --> 01:34:07.000
<v Speaker 2>return the favor. So we have to look after our

1638
01:34:17.920 --> 01:34:22.199
<v Speaker 1>of the tenth inning, Atlanta Orioles Henderson hits a screaming

1639
01:34:22.319 --> 01:34:25.119
<v Speaker 1>line drive right at the first base and he catches it,

1640
01:34:25.680 --> 01:34:30.920
<v Speaker 1>tags out, Uh Pete Alonzo for the double play.

1641
01:34:31.399 --> 01:34:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Wow you mean Pete Alonzo? With those fast we couldn't

1642
01:34:34.880 --> 01:34:35.680
<v Speaker 2>get back to first base.

1647
01:34:49.079 --> 01:34:51.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of doing one of those back and forth as

1648
01:34:51.399 --> 01:34:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, instant replace. I'm sure they're going to challenge it.

<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens to me. It is a wrap,

1655
01:35:14.079 --> 01:35:16.319
<v Speaker 2>moves were anticipating. Let's hope we see some of them

1656
01:35:16.359 --> 01:35:20.159
<v Speaker 2>come to fruition because so far it has not been

1657
