But it's like we're staying like 37 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.000 it's like off strip. Of course, this competition isn't even 38 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.680 like on strip, so it's gonna be off strip. 39 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.799 It's it's may. It's gonna be like one hundred degrees. 40 00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.359 I have to drive there. 41 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:06.680 It's a go to be measurable Reva Reva Las Vegas, 42 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:09.599 and that's what. 43 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.120 It's gonna be. It's gonna be the worst time in Vegas. 44 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.199 Yeah, I like trying to explain to my kids too, 45 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.919 because they're like, Oh, it's gonna be cool. 46 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.000 Vegas isn't made for you.

That's the whole point. It's not Vegas is 51 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:34.520 built for adults. So then you're gonna take adults and 52 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.360 kids to a place where adults can't adult. Like, it's 53 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.319 not a good recipe, but that is what I've got 54 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.039 later in the week, so a little bit earlier, next 55 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.039 episode in store.

I asked Joe this and he definitely 88 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.479 got the answer wrong. But I said, if I were 89 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.280 to tell you, there's a baseball player that yelled. 90 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.080 At fans and told them to s and d. Uh. 91 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.080 Who would that player be? 92 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.680 He saidca, I said, no, that's who did do it. 93 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.360 The only correct answer in ten out of ten people 94 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.839 would have said Jared Duran, Like Jared durand one hundred 95 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:25.680 percent would be the player that would do that. That 96 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.759 was not the case. That was Pete k Armstrong decided 97 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:30.319 to chop it up. 98 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:30.879 I like that. 99 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.600 He said, like, oh, yeah, some lady was talking some 100 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.160 mess so I thought I would give it back. 101 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.360 But you also told her to s your d so uh. 102 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.519 That's probably gonna get a little bit of a discussion 103 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:43.439 going on around the sport. 104 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.199 True, But let me say this, I think he would 105 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.680 have said the same to either gender. 106 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.480 To be you know what, maybe, but he told this. 107 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.720 Does matter because he said it to a woman. Yeah, 108 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:57.920 I'm saying that, but but I'm saying I bet he 109 00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.319 probably would have said it to either gender. 110 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.839 That's all either way, funny, but it holds a little 111 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:08.000 bit more weight in that discussion. But like also, I 112 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.879 think I'm just completely detached. It's never something I've gotten 113 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.600 into now. To be fair, I have yelled to players before, 114 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.519 but I think I've always done it. Okay, maybe one 115 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.360 wasn't funny. I don't remember what I used to do 116 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.120 to Will Myers, but Will Myers was remember Will Myers 117 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:24.319 was like. 118 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.759 A dick to people. Oh yeah, but that was that 119 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.720 was fun because we would wait for him to refuse 120 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.480 nautograph and then we he boo the holy ass out 121 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:33.639 of her. Yeah, that's what it was. 122 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.759 The only other one I ever really well, I did 123 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:42.680 sing u tshota or shoga akaiyama, shogo akiyama. 124 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:43.079 Uh. 125 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.720 I did do that one time. But the only other 126 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:50.439 one was yelling at crap, his name just escape me. 127 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.199 Who's the dude who was friends with Tory Lane, Mike 128 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.759 Napolines Mike Napoli And it wasn't Tory Lane. 129 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:05.560 It was oh yeah, yeah, yeah, b b b b 130 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.439 bb Joe, not bbe Jones. That was a Rob Gronkowski thing. 131 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.800 That's right, Actress. I don't want to do a search 132 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:12.399 because that's good. 133 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.800 No, it's it's a Tory Lane liked person. 134 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.920 No, you're doing like the biggest film actresses like this 135 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.480 was not it's not James. 136 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:24.959 No. 137 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.639 I know you could go down the list. 138 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.000 I'm just guise you haven't said her name, but he 139 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.600 was very good friends with this adult actress, and it 140 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.720 was kind of well, uh. 141 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.759 Rachel, Rachel Starr, you got we got there. Rachel Starr 142 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.199 was the one, by the way, I was about to 143 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.600 google no googling. I couldn't remember the first name. 144 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.279 I was thinking it was a t but Rachel Starr 145 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.040 and I would scream Rachel Starr at him and try 146 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:49.759 to get him to turn around. And I did do 147 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.720 that in two different occasions. What I'm getting at, though, 148 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.120 is I don't I think I've I've completely missed the 149 00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.920 like I'm gonna scream horrible. I don't think screaming Rachel 150 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.439 started Mike Napoli was anything bad. I don't think booing 151 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.240 Will Myers when he was being addicted to somebody was bad. 152 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.199 I don't think singing show Go Akiyama was bad. But 153 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.240 screaming and the stuff that people are saying to these 154 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.040 players to make them have these reactions, I just don't 155 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.600 blame Pete Crown. I don't blame any player for having 156 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.800 these vitriol reactions to people that are saying awful stuff 157 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:24.600 to them. But I also don't know what the chick said. 158 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.399 I don't know what she said to him. I think 159 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.199 for the most part, you're a professionally, you paid a lot. 160 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.199 You should be able to keep your cool. I do 161 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.839 think that there are lines or probably you know you've 162 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:38.600 heard it all game and you're sick of it. 163 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.800 But you need to keep your cool when someone is 164 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:42.439 like screaming, like like you know, the whole like. 165 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.079 Journal, if it's horrible, then answer back, like you're still people, right, 166 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.759 that's the thing. If they're saying something horrible, then you're 167 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.959 gonna hear them answer back. But if it's giving you 168 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.360 a hard time, like the guy that was giving Haleo 169 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:58.079 Ramos a hard time for oh for three Halio three strikeouts, 170 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.319 and Halio like did the the fake ball throw at him? 171 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.480 I think that's pretty funny. Actually, I think I think 172 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.000 you think it was funny. But should he have done it? 173 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.839 I mean, you know, it's actually funny about this. 174 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:11.839 It's actually similar to what you and I were talking 175 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.519 about off air about the troll people online. 176 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.959 There are like exactly, there are troll people. 177 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:22.680 Online that do stuff that like the context of how 178 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.439 they're doing it, they have no self awareness, but then 179 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.959 when you call them out, they're just like, oh, like 180 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.680 because I had one. It was like a whole thing 181 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.919 with like the fantasy spost put a videot about Boba schet. 182 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.519 They didn't really give it context, and this guy was 183 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.559 like garbage take. And then I was just like, oh yeah, 184 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.399 super garbage take, and I printed out, like, I did 185 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.279 a screenshot where I snapped back at him because he 186 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.759 was like, Boba SHOT's gonna have like amazing no no, 187 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:49.679 But I said, oh, you're probably right. 188 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.279 He is going to have big counting stats. And I 189 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:51.879 did a screen. 190 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.240 I was super sarcastic and snarky about it, and then 191 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.679 the guy responded back kind of being like, you know, hey, 192 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:01.600 by the way, this is just like my opinion, and. 193 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.559 I like what you guys do and I and I 194 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.639 was just like yeah, but I was like, hey, I 195 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:06.159 hope you're right. 196 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.000 But also at the same time, I didn't dig in 197 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.159 to be like, Okay, that's fine that you're gonna say that, 198 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.480 but you also were like kind of a dick by 199 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:16.759 being like, you know, crappy take. But to me, that 200 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.240 whole interaction, it's similar to the guy being like, hey, 201 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.759 you're zero for three and then Hellia Ramo's faking. 202 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.440 The ball, like that's that's a baseball. 203 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.080 Real life version of that interaction. The problem is is 204 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.080 there are way more of the woman reaction or the 205 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.039 people with Jared. I'm not saying the one thing Jared 206 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.960 Duran said was good, but the other one where they're like, hey, 207 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.960 if you know, off yourself whatever, like there are people 208 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.559 that do that, and then they kind of claim, oh, 209 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.039 I'm just trolling. That's the same all those people do 210 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.120 the awful things. You're like, oh, I'm just like chopping 211 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.279 it up, blah blah blah, and then you get you've 212 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.720 pushed a player beyond or you know, like like when 213 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.440 we'll have our little meltdowns of someone doing that type 214 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.600 of stuff, it's it's kind of in the same vein. 215 00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.799 F around as much as you want, but eventually you'll 216 00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:03.960 find I think that's basically what as the kids would say, 217 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.159 is basically what it is. It's like, look, you can 218 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.480 say whatever you want. No one's gonna take that away 219 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.279 from you. That's you know, that's what the country was 220 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:18.039 founded on. But you can't be surprised when people have 221 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.720 a reaction. That's the thing is like you get to 222 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.320 say whatever you want, you don't get to control other 223 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:27.039 people's reactions to it. That's that's the whole thing. That's 224 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.360 you know, uh is you can say whatever you want, 225 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.000 but people are gonna feel a certain way about it, 226 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.360 and you know, you don't have to respect that either. 227 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.200 But it's the old get to say whatever they want. 228 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.039 It's the old radio call in thing. 229 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.240 Like I I do not connect with the type of 230 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.279 person that calls into a radio station and is weird. 231 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.399 I don't connect with people and YouTube comments that are 232 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.360 horrible to somebody. I also don't connect with someone who 233 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.960 says something essie and then backtracks that are being like. 234 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:56.600 Oh well I was just blah blah blah. 235 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.279 It's like, well, do you clearly said something that's not me. 236 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:02.399 I don't do that to people. 237 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.080 I don't think like that, And I don't also think 238 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.960 that I'm in the okay, and that same type all 239 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.480 the same person that does the kind of either a 240 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.440 horrible or trolley fun comment. They're the same type of 241 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.159 person that yells at a stadium and yells at players 242 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:17.679 and stuff. So I mean, I guess I fall into 243 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.720 a little token where I'm I'm you know, screaming Rachel 244 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.240 Starr at Mike Napoli back in the day, but also 245 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.840 I think like I'm literally not saying anything mean, like 246 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.919 I'm having fun. I get the Will Myers one is 247 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:29.519 the hypocrite one. We do boo at him when he 248 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.480 did that, so but I feel like that's more in 249 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.080 the line of like people that come in and leading 250 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.000 off and play along with the jokes. They're not like, 251 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.879 you know, oh your garbage, you know, like and then 252 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.639 they're like, oh, but I'm just joking. I like what 253 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.639 you do, and it's like, no, go piss off and 254 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:42.679 never listen to anything. 255 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:44.200 I have come down to your work and knock that 256 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.279 you know, what's out of your mouth. Shut the hell up. 257 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:46.879 I guess I know. 258 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:48.919 So this is funny because we spend a lot of 259 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.519 time talking about this stuff. Off area had nothing to 260 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:52.879 do with the peak Crow thing, but it's kind of 261 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.559 the same thing. I mean, the same thing, and we 262 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:57.159 just yapped about it. He's just not going to really 263 00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.360 get away with it. Like unfortunately that was a pretty 264 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:03.320 aggressive thing and it was on video, so you know, you're. 265 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.600 Gonna have to do the weepee public apology and you 266 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.120 know all that crap. So maybe I don't know, or 267 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.080 go go to Mexico and play on Trevor Bower's team. 268 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:16.879 He's actually in Long Island right now. Yeah, that entry 269 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:17.200 out there. 270 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.600 He's playing with the Long Island Ducks. It's an independent 271 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:20.240 baseball team. 272 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.080 He actually sounds like he's exactly where he belongs. He 273 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.679 threw he threw a no hitter the other day. Oh 274 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.879 my god, he did. I mean, you know what I 275 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.240 did in MLB the show. It was kind of on 276 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:32.159 rookie mode though. 277 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:33.759 It was like throwing a no hitter on rookie because 278 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.840 then somebody showed it was like this, like sixth The 279 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.320 guy on the other side of the mound was some 280 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.840 like fifty year old electrician who was playing like competitive, but. 281 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.960 Like this is the guy he went up against. Yeah, 282 00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.759 this game with I gotta do sheet walk and electrical 283 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:47.759 to McDonald's up there. 284 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.200 There are some former players that are playing on that team, 285 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:50.519 but it. 286 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.120 Is it is a it's a bit given. 287 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.360 But they're all like fifty right, like no no, like 288 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.279 form like former players, like you don't remember what's him? 289 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.399 Like Wolford Demo, d I m O music a national 290 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:02.639 Like I think he's on that team. 291 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.480 Wilmer Dafoe, Dafoe. Yeah, that's that's what it is. Not 292 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.639 Willem Dafoe, but those guys. 293 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:10.440 Again, I'm not trying to defend it or anything like that, 294 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:12.320 but he is playing independent ball. He did throw no 295 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.519 hitter and then he had like fourteen strikeouts. 296 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:15.360 But I'm not sure. 297 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.799 I don't think I think this league is quite a 298 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:21.279 step down from him playing like in Japan. 299 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:26.320 You know what he's doing. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I think 300 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:29.240 the Long Island rubber Ducks or whatever way worse than 301 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:29.840 the Japanese. 302 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.000 What an open we're doing right now talking about Trevor 303 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.720 Bauer and Pete car Armstrong with the lady and hey, 304 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:37.440 we got a fun one. All right, let's talk about 305 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.799 some baseball stuff. I love that you put this together 306 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.559 because this is hilarious. How about a versus Fernando Tatis 307 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:49.200 versus Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber twenty homers is twenty homers 308 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.360 this year with a pretty bad batting average, by the way, 309 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.679 but absolutely going ridiculous to Fernando Tatis, who is now, 310 00:13:55.919 --> 00:14:00.360 like I think, one of the only regular players ish 311 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.519 right without a homer. Tim and Chandler Simpson, I bet 312 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.840 you if you win and look on a perfect qualified 313 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.639 I'm gonna go look but he's be if you look 314 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.399 at qualified, he's the only player without a home But 315 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.840 you know what's funny that same thing you're putting up here, 316 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.480 did you know that Tatis and Schwarber are within like 317 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.679 a mile per hour on their average exit velocity of 318 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:20.559 the hardest hit balls. 319 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.039 Like that's the thing that we can't get over with 320 00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.080 Tatis right now goes in the air, one goes in 321 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.360 the ground. As much of a disaster as it is. 322 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:31.480 He's got a ninety one point nine overall exit velocity 323 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.120 is maxib is one thirteen. 324 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.159 I wish I could see. I think we did this. 325 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.200 I have the qualified players that have enough at bats. 326 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:42.759 There's one hundred and seventy three five with zero home runs. 327 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.919 You know, two of them Simpson and Tatis. It's not 328 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.600 a rise anymore. No, I believe. I believe we did 329 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:53.159 this a couple of weeks ago. No, we did do it. 330 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.879 And there were like five five guys your favorite restaurant amount. 331 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.240 But I don't remember what the wh I. 332 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.440 Don't have eight six dollars to pay for burgers on 333 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.639 five guys that much. Uh Rangifo, Nasimnuniaz and Nickenzals are 334 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:06.080 the other. 335 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.360 Three one thing, by the way, I wish Baseball Savant 336 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:08.840 would change. 337 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.639 I don't know why. If they have it, why can 338 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:17.440 they not put EV fifty or EV ninety would be great? 339 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.159 Which is the average? 340 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.200 You know, the top fifty nine, the top fifty. If 341 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.320 you do EV fifty, it's the top fifty percent tele 342 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:25.200 of hardest hit balls. 343 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:26.080 What that averages? 344 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:28.960 Why cannot not be on the Baseball Savant page? 345 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:30.840 Why do I have to go search for it? I 346 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:34.039 did go and find it. Fernando Tatis Bogs. 347 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:40.799 Has a higher EV fifty than Kyle Schwarber. 348 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:44.720 What's his launch angle? It's garbage, that's the problem. It's 349 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:45.120 the worst. 350 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.639 It's Fernando Tatis is the worst. He has like a 351 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.519 two degree launch angle. He can't get the ball in 352 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:49.720 the air. 353 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:50.919 But for perspective, real quick. 354 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.039 The best EV fifty in baseball right now is James 355 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.840 Wood at one oh seven point four. So that is 356 00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.559 the average X velocity of the top fifty hardest hit balls, 357 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.919 fifty percent of his hardest hit balls. Oneil Cruz is 358 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:09.480 one oh seven point one. Fernanda tis Rinks thirteenth overall 359 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:13.399 in baseball, ahead of Junior Cameronaro, ahead of Kyle Schwarber, 360 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.039 ahead of Mike Trout, ahead of Shaneleanngaliers. He has it 361 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.279 is crazy. He is smashing the ball hard, which is, 362 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:24.639 by the way, why there's kind of a really hardcore 363 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.279 aggressive like buy on him. Joe told me he looked 364 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.159 on CBS. The number one most traded player on CBS 365 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.919 right now is Fernando Tatis. And I think the people 366 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.519 that might be buying in on him are the smart 367 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:37.960 ones because there's so much about his metrics. His barrel 368 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.200 rate is better than last year's hard hit rate is 369 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.559 better than last year. His max EV is better than 370 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.600 last year. He's a two degree launch. He's striking out 371 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:48.039 a little bit more a two degree launch. I go, 372 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:49.200 and he cannot pull the ball. 373 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:52.240 But the problem dubs in your max EV leagues. 374 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:55.759 Yeah, but the problem is that it's in the swing 375 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.320 and there's a lot of people that are worried. It 376 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.159 is the approach, like the pull and the launch angle 377 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.160 is a obviously it's a negative, but it is a 378 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.279 symptom of a problem in his swing. 379 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:14.720 Two and sixty six batters on Baseball Savann, Fernando Tatis 380 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:20.279 is twenty sixth in air percentage or twenty six worst worst. Yeah, 381 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:20.920 I think it's weird. 382 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.400 Yeah, exactly, like he can't get so like you can 383 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:24.920 look and you can be like, well, he's not pulling 384 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:26.119 the air because he's not getting the ball in the air. 385 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:27.279 If he could just get the ball in the air, 386 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:29.960 that's an easy fix because everything else is good. But 387 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.720 then there's also this element to say that this is 388 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:36.799 the symptom of a mechanical issue in his swing that 389 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:38.920 he has not gotten fixed, and can he fix it 390 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.759 in season? And that's like the big question. I tend 391 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.519 to think, like I would buy on him because he's 392 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.640 so low, but it is so hysterically ridiculous that it 393 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:51.319 is like it is it's actually almost asinine what he's 394 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:53.599 doing and how bad it is. But at the same time, 395 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.680 dude has a better you know, ev fifty than Kyle Schwarber, 396 00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.839 who is like twenty homers in and looks like he's 397 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.920 facing out to have a sixty home run season. It's 398 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.440 just like, it's a weird, weird baseball world right now. 399 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.279 Would you buy would you want to buy Bernando Tatis 400 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.240 Junior at let's call it eighty five to ninety percent 401 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.839
