But Welsh Crazy 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:54.640 Night in Major League Baseball last night. We had a 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.280 lot of questions already in the chat, but we had 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.600 a guy who was, you know, basically had to start 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.040 lined up against the A's, that is the A's, but 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.080 nobody was excited about starting Dimingo Herman, a guy who 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.400 already had been suspended once for cheating this year, and 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.000 he goes out there and throws a perfect game. The 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.120 guy in my home league, my friend Mark, did not 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.760 start him this week. Also, more than sixty percent of 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.080 people did not start him in CBS leagues. I don't 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.319 know what the other numbers are, but Welsh, this is 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.400 a crazy night. Crazy things happen in baseball, and Dimingo 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.119 Armand's perfect game I think is one of those things. 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.720 Yeah, I mean it is. The recipe of recipes have 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:39.640 been the A's all season. I mean, how many, dude? 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:40.200 What was it like? 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.679 Bryce Miller's start giving up like three hits versus the 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.080 A's over his first three starts. They've been the team 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:52.320 that gives. They are continuously giving. They gave massive week contact. 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.320 I talked about this last night after the game, but 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.320 you know, a lot of week contact. Eighty four miles 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.480 an hour average x velocity against his curve ball, which 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.360 he threw fifty percent of the time, fastball eighty six 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:10.000 mile proor exit velocity that's normally ninety three against Domingo Hermond. 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.679 So I mean his fastball gets murdered. It did not 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.959 last night is fine performance. It was. It was a 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.880 perfect performance if you look at it. I mean it 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.640 was it was no no, but I mean like it 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.240 was perfect of course, but a lot of week contact 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:23.680 you know. 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:25.680 This terrible. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.440 You know, he's a perfect game. This is I was 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.320 thinking about this last night. 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.040 I'm in the trade video right now for next week. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.080 Can you do it? He's got to be on the list. 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:36.519 They asked me on CBS last night. They're like, is 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.440 there an actubal fantasy item? And I'm like, it's trading him. 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:39.919 That's it. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:41.960 That's like you go and trade the guy that just 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.480 had the perfect game if someone's buying. But you know, 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.240 at the at the end of the day, I love 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.799 perfect games actually for this, because I was thinking about 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.080 this after I did a show last night, that perfect 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.000 games are this beautiful encapsulation because you've got like you know, 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:02.239 Randy Johnson his throwne one and right Holliday, Felix turned. 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.120 The last guy to do it was Felix Hernandez. We 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.240 haven't had one since twenty twelve. I didn't realize it 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:06.720 was that long. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.680 It's so special, but then it's mixed in with like, 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.120 you know, I don't know, like Dallas Braden and Domingo 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.840 Herman and Philip Humber, like it's such a fun one. 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.400 It's like the gods, fantasy gods come down and they're 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.960 just like today you And it doesn't have to be 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.840 the most elite of elite, but it was great performance. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.320 I feel bad talking negatively about it, but this is 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:33.680 like a five era five expected guy who has you know, 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.880 repeatedly used sticky stuff and keeps getting caught, and it's like, okay, cool, 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.320 you did it. You got the perfect game. Everybody celebrate. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.160 If you started him, you get to be the guy. 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:43.360 Oh the perfect game. 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.360 But otherwise it's nothing else. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.240 A couple other checker things on the record too. For 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.480 Domingo Herman. Last time I checked too much questionable off 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.320 the field choices and decision making processes. So yeah, I mean, 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.720 just bizarms one of these crazy things. Major League Baseball 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.200 is crazy like that, these things happen. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.800 It's funny Razor just putting this in the chat. I 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.760 almost wanted to go through this last night, but it's like, 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.720 is this maybe the worst of the perfect games of 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.000 all time. Like if we wanted to really be mean, I. 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.360 Don't know, I'd have to go back and do the 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:10.839 deep dive. 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.640 But I mean, it's funny because you know, you know 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.680 you mentioned Dallas Brayden, right, that happened in Oakland too, 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.680 if you recall, and Oaklands one of these places where 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.760 you have a lot more foul territory. So I always 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.279 feel like that sometimes environment has a lot to do 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.520 with it was a bad team they were facing, uh 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.840 the environment in terms of having a lot more foul 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.839 territory and those you know, we're just more things, more 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.799 outs can happen that shouldn't be outs necessarily in those ballparks. 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.279 I think that's an interesting factor. And and I mean, 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:41.680 I guess it kind of stinks that happened in front 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.360 of a dozen people, right, how many people were there 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:44.720 thinking the same thing? 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:46.720 This shot people? 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.239 There were Yankee fans, Dude. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.359 It's so funny you say that because they did this, 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.240 like you know, those like cly awesome cinematic shots of 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:54.600 like before the pitch and. 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.840 There's like fourteen guys with. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.520 Their phones out and there's just there's more empty seats 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.760 than any else, it might be the least viewed perfect 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.880 game of all time. And this is going back to 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.760 the early nineteen hundreds we're talking about, which, by the way, 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.760 let me ask you something real quick. What do you 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.360 think the average amount of pitches is for a perfect game? 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:14.880 Obviously guys are going the whole way. 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.720 What do you think the average is probably one ten, 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.359 one fifteen because things are going well, you know, so 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.560 typically I match it's like the one to fifteen range. 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.920 Twenty four perfect games in history of baseball. Three of 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:31.120 them don't have registered pitch amounts. There's two pre nineteen 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:35.039 oh three era, nineteenth century. Lee Richmond is the first 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.680 ever John Montgomery Ward great name, and then Cy Young 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.799 was the first of like the World Series era starting 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.640 after Cy Young nineteen oh eight, we have pitch counts 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.080 for all the pitchers, So that would leave us with 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.760 twenty one? How many perfect games of the twenty one 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.120 after Cy Young? Because I already told you Cy Young, 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.279 or we didn't have the pitch count, do you think 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.599 we're under one hundred pitches? So twenty one perfect games? 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.599 How many under one hundred pitches? And I'm telling you 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.599 this because you need nevermind ninety nine last night, So 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:05.560 five of twenty one. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.320 Yeah, ten, wow. Ten. 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.400 It just goes to show you put the ball in play. 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.400 You know, everybody sometimes just overthings to throw strikes, work fast, 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:15.279 put the ball in play. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.440 I should I should have let the chat the chat 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.040 starting to guess. I should have, Like, let you guys 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.640 guess ten of those twenty one were under one hundred. 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:22.159 You blew it. 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:23.320 It gets crazy, you blew it. 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:24.760 There's a lot of questions. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.440 I want to get to some of these dB already. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.560 I'm answering football questions for dB. He has one about 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.760 should he dropped Hunter Greed? He has Woodrof Mackenzie and 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.320 Kyle Wright on the il spots. No, you don't drop 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.120 Hunter Greed. I don't think you do that at all. 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.080 Things were turning in a good direction before he got 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.000 hurt with the deeper stats. The Reds are playing good baseball. 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.640 If you're squeezed for roster space, I'm dropping Mackenzie Like 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:44.440 that's the gay I'm dropping. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:45.960 I don't think you see Kenzie the rest of the year. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.880 Yeah, I mean I'd also be comfortable dropping Kyle Wright. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.520 I don't Kyle Right's not that's fine to Kenzie. 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.040 The one that I'm really thinking. You know, we're probably 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.960 not gonna go that route at all. Let's get to 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.240 more headlines here.

I'm still. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.199 And it's funny because I've invested in Strider and Gallon 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.079 and yet I, for some reason, I've also invested in Kershaw. 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:28.920 I got them all. 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.000 In on the National League, So I Young, I see 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.360 so many different ways that I've invested. Now I'm waiting. 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.520 I haven't made the double dip yet on anybody. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.719 Yeah, you got like eight bets here. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.000 You're like, no, no, no, I've got three. I've got 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.160 three and one of them was a free bet. They 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.000 gave me a free fifty dollars bet, so what I do? 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:45.440 Boom? 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.280 I used it on Spencer Strider at I think it 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.360 was plus fifteen hundred the beginning of the year, Like, yes, 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.120 just take that, put that on there because that's gonna 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.280 make money, because that's ridiculous. That was like the guy 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:56.959 could I was looking for the guy that was going 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.880 to make the most money back from the biggest odds, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.520 and it was automatically Strider. 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.880 So now I'm waiting and. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.520 Typically this is like in July into August is where 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.040 I start to do the double dip where I'm like, Okay, 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.959 now this is my guy the rest of the season. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:11.840 Night, So who are you your guy? 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:13.880 I don't know yet. That's the problem. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.400 Blake Snell keeps dropping ten strikeout performances and it's starting 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.760 to irritate me, like he's gonna get in the conversation, 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.280 and I want him in the conversation. I don't think 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.520 it's gonna get there, but if he has another three 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.840 or four of these, it's gonna be hard to deny him. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.880 At this point, do you really think the padres are 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.520 going to implode? Do you think that's gonna happen? 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.040 I mean they are imploding. I mean there's like they 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.120 cannot get this thing right. There's a personnel issue, there's bickering, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.760 there's fighting. I don't know. I think that it's a 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.200 bad recipe for like, you know, team unity and getting 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.080 offenses going pitching. Darvish is sick and he's kind of 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.840 been a disaster. There's a lot working against them. Plus 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.319 that's a division with the Diamondbacks or Monsters and the Dodgers. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.120 Just the Dodgers are just never going to just roll 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.520 over on their on their backs and let anyone. 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:56.960 Run their bellies. 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:58.600 So the Padres have a lot of work to do. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.520 Not saying the Padres are in a where they need 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.920 to maybe con start moving pieces. But I mean three 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.240 more weeks, I don't know, I don't know, watch for it. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:11.880 That was quite an image there, Roy, like I picture Fry. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.440 Freeman was like, hey, rub my belly. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.679 Lucas Giolito got that one yesterday and the betting pro 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:20.160 side nine strikeouts, but a Baning got the w Let's 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.880 go Ezekiozovar continues to be hot. Two four double, two runs, 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.800 three ribies on Wednesday Today, He's gonna get mach Hans 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.599 we'll see how that goes for him. But telling you, 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.000 we talked about Tollvar in the beginning. 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:30.679 I think it was. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.160 Monday that we were talking about him. Actually I think 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.520 it was this week. But the guy's been picking things up. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.360 But recently Mookie Betts, Uh, the three are on Homer. 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.600 So it was a big number on prizepects. I went 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.480 the under and Mookie said, screw you, Joe, now you 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.960 roll over, and Mookie Betts did take on my tummy 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:47.199 and then here we go. 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.360 Anthony Dicomo of MLB dot Com is. 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.160 Suggesting that internally now they're having conversations about Max. Shurs 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:57.000 are being moved, so landing spot for Max sures er. 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.240 I think still the Dodgers, well. 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:03.840 Oh yeah, the doors for sure. I might throw a 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.280 side dollar on maybe the Texas Rangers. You know, Rangers 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.320 lost to Grom. There's a lot to push. Maybe the 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.360 Rangers jump into the fold here. They've got prospects at 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.840 different levels. They've got so closer to the making. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:16.320 All your money. 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.480 No, no, that's the no income tax on the personal side. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.240 There aren't they getting also a break with de Gram 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.440 being gone for the season. I think they get a financial. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.040 I imagine they have insurance on it, right, How do 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.880 you not have insurance on Jacob de Grom? I mean 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.240 that's like, I mean, I can't think of something besides 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.079 my car, my house, and Jacob de Grom. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:38.240 Those are the three things that you have to have 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:38.840 insurance on. 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.600 Maybe they could trade Kamar Rocker back to the Man's 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.160 that'd be fine. Injury you could come back to the 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.560 here you go the surgery, you can have him. But 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:48.880 I don't know. Maybe even a lighter Jack Lighter could 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.400 go over to the Mets or something like that. I 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.080 think the Rangers are a dark corse. Dodgers make the 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.720 most sense in the world the world. 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.160 Yeah, and I'll tell you if you go to the Dodgers, 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.920 then that's that number is going to move significantly. Rookie, 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.400 lookie life insurance right and thoughts back Welsh, there's your 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:06.120 second fought. 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.200 How do you feel about FOT number two? You feel 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:09.000 it's FOT. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.120 I almost a sign here, almost had fat Thursday on here. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.240 I love the little sign. I'm jealous you have the 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:15.480 little sign. I gotta get one of those. 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.440 It's so much work to find the damn letters too, 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.120 by the way, Like that's why I don't do the 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:22.680 pain in your. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.400 Voice of what it takes to find a couple of letters. 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.640 You literally have cees. Please, that's it, It's not it. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.280 It took me like twenty minutes to just find the 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.679 stupid letters and everything. But I need you do want 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:35.440 to do a board? 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:36.760 Would that be better for you, buddy? 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.319 He'd like, I should do a whiteboard and just I'll 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.120 draw back there. That might be a little Actually, that's 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.800 a much smarter idea. I'm gonna do that. Brandon fought. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.400 He's been good as of recent. I think it's a 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.640 twenty six strikeounts over his last three starts. He hasn't 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.559 been walking as much. He's still giving up Homer's that's 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.160 a problem. I said this last night. This is what 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.120 I'm doing. I'm picking him up today, but I'm not 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.800 starting him. Don't want to start him against this team. 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.600 This is absolutely the type of team where if his 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.280 slider is not getting in the zone, they're just waiting 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.760 on the fastball. Randa rose Reina is going to hit 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.320 one four hundred fees. So I'm worried about that because 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.720 that is his problem. It's all gonna be about command. 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.960 It's all command, like Gavin Williams was able in his 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.400 first start to get away without the command with his stuff. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:27.560 Brandon Fought cannot. So you're going to get fauded if 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.080 you put him in the lineup. But I want to 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.760 hold on just in case, just in case the things 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.080 are fixed, because the dame Backs need rotation help. And 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.600 if he is fixed, this is a good sign. So 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.760 you figure out your own league, Like if you need 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.960 to stash him and put him on the bench, do it. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.000 If he can start, and you can still pick him 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.680 up and do that too. But I'm a little bit 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.760 I'm not no fought sign. 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.000 Today, No no fought investments for me too. I'm just 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:53.800 gonna sit back and watch and look. I hope it's better. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.680 It's a tough assignment, you know. The Razor not a 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.440 team that strikes out very much. The Razor a team 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.160 that makes a good contact and then one or two 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.200 guys in that lineup can really burn you, like you 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.600 said Roseena Franco, even Yandi Diaz, like, the. 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.600 Top of the top of the order is the big problem, 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.360 and Fought has had problems when he gets second, third 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.720 time through the order and the top of that freaking 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.120 lineup is like Yandi, want. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:15.440 To know what you do? 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.520 Well, Andy, if you really want it on this game today, 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:19.840 here's what you do. 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.440 Uh you go ahead and you. 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.200 Oh no the phone device? 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:28.880 Hold on?

But anyway, Brandon 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.880 fought that was amazing That's why I love doing the 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.000 show live TV. You never know what's going to happen again. 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.240 Just foot just knocked that power strip, boom, hit it 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.200 right off, and then everything else was on. 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.160 But of course the power strip was Brandon's fought. Your 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.080 foot was the raise. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.720 So in game live betting for this game today with FOT, 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.800 watch him, see what he's doing. And then when you 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.760 get to that third time around in the batting order, 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:51.440 that's when you pounds. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.200 Depending on what's going on. This is a perfect in 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.480 game live betting scenario. And we don't talk about that enough. 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.280 You know, I wish I had more time in my 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.760 schedule this time of year to do that sort of betting. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.040 But if you do, if you're just like you know, 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.920 you're sitting around your office, you're sitting around and you're 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.200
