WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off April 18th, 2023 (Ep. 650) 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.559 Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.320 Off Live, brought you by Fries Picks. Sign up for 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:15.840 Price Picks today with the Chromo code and leading off 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.480 it's me Joey Pa, Joe Pi Zapia. That of course 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:20.960 is the Welsh and today we're gonna recap everything that 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.799 happened last night in Major League Baseball, look ahead in 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.080 today's games. Major League Baseball got double header as well, 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.800 so that'll be a fun time. We love the double dip. 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.640 Always a good time with baseball Welsh. I don't know 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:34.080 if you've ever been to a double header. I like 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:35.279 the ones where you could just go and you get 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.159 to go to both games. You just sit there for 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.120 eighteen innings or whatever it ends up becoming, and you're 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:41.919 just there for the duration. We used to do that 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.400 in Philly and the Vet because back in the day 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.640 that nobody cared such a big ballpark. They're like, hey, 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.159 you want to show up for one, God bless it, 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.080 I just stick around for the second one. Have you 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.840 ever been to two games in the double header? 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.640 Not in a traditional baseball sense, like you know, two 0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.840 diamondback games back to back or something, but I have 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.480 one thousand percent done it from a minor league perspective. 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.200 I've gone back to back to back. Actually I've done 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.880 in days and one of my most fond memories was 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.000 during COVID. Back in COVID, which most people don't have 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:17.360 fond memories, me and Bogman did a game at where 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.119 we saw tany pitch with the Diamondbacks and then we 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.440 cruised on over maybe this is pre COVID and we 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.399 got to see Spencer Torkosen play with ASU on a 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.919 very cold night. So we went spring training to college baseball. 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.840 Doubleheader stuff is fun. I've just actually never done it 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.600 in like the traditional one, which. 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.200 I yes, I remember. It was in the I would 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.680 say late nineties. My friends and I it was Mets 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:45.200 Phillies double dip at the Vet, and certainly we were 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.560 yelling some funny things at Butch Husky. That's what we 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.640 were yelling. We were Butch. We loved Butch Husky. That night. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.880 We had plenty of alcohol and we were not taunting 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.920 controlling him. We loved him. We were yelling positive thing. 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.800 That was actually gonna be my question there is what 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.160 your level of troll at a game, because you know, 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.960 obviously we don't particularly love being trolled out into the world. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.080 But you've got a troll a little bit, you get 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:10.000 a drink in you are too. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:10.760 Do you have a. 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.160 Player too that you have not mean mean, but you 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.480 have trolled? Because I have two players that I only 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.200 two players that I've ever really trolled. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.000 That's an interesting question, honestly. Know, Like we my friends 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:23.680 I used to go there and we would kind of 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:28.639 absurdly root for certain people instead, okaytrol thing. And I'm 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.240 not a big drinking at the game person, Like I'm 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.760 I'm a helmet Sunday guy, but I'm not a big 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.360 like let's get hammered at the ballgame guy. I never was. 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.400 Just still not that I knew my ice cream in 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.240 the helmet that I definitely always needed. But it's a 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:44.679 good question there to ask. I see a lot of 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.440 good questions in the chat. So let's get after some 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.320 baseball here, and let's start with the inevitable Jacob de 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.080 Grom conversation. So here we go. He exited the fourth 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.920 inning yesterday. The no hitter was intact in the fourth 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.640 inning when he left, so he was lifted from the game. 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.720 There was a risk issue going on where he felt 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.840 it when he was warming up, and then it got 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.720 progressively worse, and he was trying to be proactive and saying, Okay, 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.560 instead of me pitching through this, I'm going to pull 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.640 myself out of this game and get evaluated and hopefully 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.000 it's not a big thing. So he didn't want to 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.960 alter his mechanics, which I appreciate. He didn't want to 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.960 push further injury, which I appreciate. So now we're in 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:22.840 the waiting period with Jacob de Gram and I'm not 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.640 doing victory laps today because nobody wants to see Jacob 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.000 de Grom hurt. I don't want to see Jacob de 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.840 Graham hurt. I want to see him healthy and pitching. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.960 I just decided that the fifth overall pitcher on the 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.840 board was not a price I was willing to pay 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.400 for him because of these issues that typically always stem 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.160 So Jacob de Gram, you and I were talking about 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.520 this before the show today. You in an excellent point, 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.080 which is this is what you signed up for. It's happening. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.320 You have to know this. So now it's just a 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.400 matter of what it is and how long it is. 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.400 Yeah, there's one hundred percent, So like it's the most 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:58.800 Jacob de Gram thing you could have. He was phenomenal, perfect, 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.640 no perf early perfect, no hits, and then he comes 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.760 out with an injury. But yeah, that's what I said 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.040 to you. I said, there are people out there like 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.440 you will Jacob de Grom blow and it's like, okay, yeah, 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.160 there's a little bit of here we go here. I 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.440 like that he was proactive about something. But I'm gonna 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.920 chalk this up at least at this moment to this 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.320 is what you got into. He was projected across the 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.680 board for one hundred and sixty or so innings or 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.200 one hundred and fifty, So where were those going to 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.240 come from? Where were the starts going to come out from? 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.280 This is part of that. 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:33.440 This is part of the worry, the frailness apparently that 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.479 comes with him. So I'm not going so everyone's like, oh, 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:37.640 should we panic? Should we panic? 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:37.800 No? 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.760 I don't think so this. We knew he was gonna 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.520 miss some time. I'll tell you right now. I think 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.960 he's going on the IEL even if this is not serious. 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.200 I think they have babied him every step of the 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.480 way from spring training on. I think they'll put him 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.680 on the al. They'll let him kind of rest it 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:53.800 so they don't have any worry about it, and that's 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.239 where it'll go and we'll chalk it up as part 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.040 of what you paid for Jacob de Grom. Now, if 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.840 he's out for the season, all right, all right, Oh no. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.400 That I don't I don't think that's gonna I mean, 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.520 what what would the risk be to be out for 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.160 the season. Like, that's the thing. It's not a shoulder, 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.880 it's not a knee, it's not a it's not an elbow. 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.440 The risk is not when we see or hear very 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.880 often of like I mean, there could be like you know, 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.880 it can be attended in there. I mean, yeah, I 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.720 don't know, man. All I know is it's it's disappointing. 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:30.200 It's the eighteenth of April, and you know he's coming 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:31.520 out of a game which he's pitching a no hitter. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.799 And I think that is that is the ultimate Jacob 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.919 de Gram picture, if you will, because that's Jacob de Gram. 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.680 He is perfection. He is this guy who is unhittable, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.240 the best pitcher in baseball, but he can't actually do 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.920 his job and pitch. And you know, people mocked me 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.560 last year I said maybe he should be a closer, 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.520 but maybe he should. I mean, maybe the grind of 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.760 whatever it is, his body can't handle the amount of pitches, 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.240 the amount of warmups, whatever it takes for him to do. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.240 And I don't know if that's better or worse. I'm 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.320 just throwing it out there as an option because I 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.600 saw when John Smoltz came back from his Tommy John 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.640 surgery and had issues that going to the closes roll 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.640 was something that was good for him and it revitalized 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.560 his career. And then actually he made starts later on 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.120 his career after his body seemed to catch a problem. 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:15.640 I don't know. I just don't know. At this point 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.640 with Jacob de gram and that unknown frustrated me that 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.679 there was no discount on the unknown, that everybody just said, nope, 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.799 we're going balls to the wall again. He's the fifth 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.080 overall pitcher and maybe this is nothing and he misses 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.440 a start, or maybe this is something he misses three months. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.600 But that's the Jacob de Grom risk you have assumed, 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.640 and it's a really frustrating one in my opinion. 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.520 Yeah, the only problem is what you saw out of 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:36.679 him in that start. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:37.880 He was no hitting. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.320 Now that's the problem. I mean it's always the case. 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.560 It's never he's bad. He's ever bad, Like, what is 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:44.320 he bad? 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:44.840 Yeah? 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:45.560 What is this bad? 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.880 When he's sitting, you know, at home or sitting on 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:48.279 the bench. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.800 By the way, Trent degrees, helmet ice cream is a must. 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.400 It's another thing that you could chalk up to. I 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.680 Oakland is a terrible place to watch a baseball game. 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.120 They don't have helmet Sundays. I've been there. It's a 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.200 dump that play. This is the biggest dump I've ever 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:05.160 seen of all the dumps in any professional sports whatever. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.839 And they don't have helmet Sundays. I mean, get out 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.080 of here with that nonsense. It's crazy, all right. So 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.360 we'll wait to hear more news on Jacob de crom 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:13.760 When we have more news, we'll tell you to make 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.800 sure you have the Fantasy Pro's News app so you 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.320 can stay on top of all those things when they happen. 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.320 Corbyn Burns so wasn't the only guy got removed yesterday 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.240 in terms of aces. Corbyn Burns removed yesterday due to 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.560 a left pictorial strain. So it says it's a relatively 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.760 minor issue. That's what we're hearing. So more to come 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.520 on this one. But you know, aces are dropping like flies, 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.400 which is why when TODs Bradley comes up on the 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.480 old waiver wire, I'm gonna be super aggressive because you 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.520 just don't know how long these guys are gonna last. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.120 Continuing on with some of the news from yesterday, Cody 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:50.080 Bellinger on fire right now. His Baseball Savant page is odd. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.560 I don't know if you've seen it, Welsh, it's kind 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.400 of all over the place. Five for five yesterday. It 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.040 was against the A's, so I'm gonna roll my eyes 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:57.520 a little bit. 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.600 I think it was his first career five for five. 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.480 By the way, look five or five is a five 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.440 for five. I mean it was against the A's, but whatever. 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.840 But he's hitting three to ten on the air, eighteen 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.560 for fifty eight with three homers, ten rubies, three steals, 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.240 which is also something I don't know if we were 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.280 expecting over his first fifteen games. It's only fifteen games. 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:17.080 But what are your thoughts on this Cody Bellinger open 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.080 to the season. Is it something you're trying to move 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.520 him off of or is something you're saying, Hey, maybe 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.360 he's rediscovered himself a bit. 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.960 I'm taking advantage of selling off. If people are buying, 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.720 I'm not into it. I still don't buy it. Great 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.440 that he's with the Cubs, great that he's found a 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.760 new stroke, but I believe it's too difficult to buy 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.840 into Joe. This would be a prime April sell off 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.080 at high Maybe he levels out and is okay, but 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.040 no thanks, thanks, but no thanks. 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.480 Thanks, but no thanks. I think that's where I am too, 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.280 because of the savon pages, like I said, all over 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:48.960 the places, like the deeper metrics, some are really good, 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.840 So I'm really bad. I don't know what to think 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:55.120 of it. I think if you've got Bellinger that you 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.199 know five or five, I mean this is the peak. 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.640 This is it. I don't think he's a three hundred hitter. 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.240 I think history has taught us that too, So I 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.319 don't think there's some magical special sauce here. I think 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:05.760 he's just been on a good run and he's been 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.040 a streaky player. Even in his very good years, he 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.920 was a streaky player. I remember way back early on 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:13.640 where people thought that he should be sent down to 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.079 the minor leagues, and then he came back and he 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:20.320 just had a rocket of two months for Cody Bellinger 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.199 and that's something that happens with him sometimes. So another 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.600 thing that happened as well. This is something that is fun. 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.480 Zach Netto got his first major league hit yesterday and 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.640 he pulled his first welshism. I was watching the postgame 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.200 interview here and I don't. 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.400 Know exactly what you're talking about. I was watching that too. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.719 Did you watch it? And did you it probably made 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.960 sense in your language. We went in Welsh. Now for 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.640 people wh don't know what a welshism is, it might 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.120 be new to the show. Welsh tends to either make 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.880 up his own sayings or combine two different ones, and 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.040 mister Netto did that yesterday. So here's what he said afterwards. 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.480 He said, quote, first hit was a real monkey off 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.319 my shoulder. So there's no such thing as a monkey 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:03.120 off your shoulders. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.840 It's either that is the most well, it is. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.600 One of the most welshisms ever. It's either a monkey 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.040 off your back or a weight off your shoulders. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:13.400 Say it again, say what was it? 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.800 Exactly the exact quote, and I quote this first hit 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.160 was a real monkey off my shoulders, a monkey off 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:24.520 his shoulders. Yeah, that was good, tremendously Welsh right there. 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.920 I mean, I can't get better that. Congratulations to Zach 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.680 Netto forgetting that first hit. Good on him. Fenway Park 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.680 of a memorable place to do it. But I saw 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.000 that and I looked up. I immediately looked up and went, oh, 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.000 my god, is welsh on TV who just said that? 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.079 What's going on there? I heard it. 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.439 I heard it, but I was just like, ah, I 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.240 just stump a little bit, like I didn't think too 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.600 much of it. But you're right, it's a total neism there. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.880 And by the way, I love Zach Netto. I still 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.280 hold that he might be one of the better middle 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.000 infield options. I know a lot of people paid for 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.640 him in fab and stuff, but him getting to lead off. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.480 I love his approach. He's got the big high leg 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.360 kick until he gets the two strikes where he kind 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.520 of simmers everything down and goes for just a contact 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.280 approach I think. And he's also got the commitment. So 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.800 the million questions we've seen him or Julian, I would 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.280 still go with Netto over Julian. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.000 You know, the funny part is him Volpi Julian, all 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.960 these guys leading off, which is fascinating. You don't see 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.000 that very often. Brett Baty would think was an a hole. 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.839 Yesterday when he came up, I didn't expect him to 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.360 be a lead off guy, but it was kind of 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.640 odd to get all these guys coming up and leading off. 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.440 That's kind of fun. Lots of lots of stuff going 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.920 on here in the chat regarding the helmet Sundays and 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.320 also ballpark food. Wonky says helmet ice cream is like 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.720 nostalgia with a spoon. I agree. Now. Matt Flood says, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.160 helmet nachos are the bomb. I haven't done the helmet Joe. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.080 On opening day when Bagman came and visited me, we 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:51.800 both had helmet nachos and they were like premium helmet night. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.480 Take a guess at how much helmet nachos. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:59.920 Were fifteen fifty, a little bit higher higher the well, okay, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.360 well you're keeping the helmet right, so you got it. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.240 I didn't actually keep it, but yes, but you get 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.680 to keep the helmet right, like get station for your brain. 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.439 It's not like it's not like a helmet, but it's 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.400 not really a good helmet. It's like this crappy generic 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:12.360 when you throw out at. 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.440 The chat, helmet, guess what the chat so far, you 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:21.720 still haven't gotten the price twenty JP twenty fifty twenty 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:26.720 eight dollars for nacho helmet is what it was at 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.440 Chase Field twenty eight be a Bogman. Both got it 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.160 and we are dumber for it. 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:36.000 Wow, you know what, I'm okay with that? It's opening day. 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.679 I'm okay with that. I think that's that's something you 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.880 treat yourself to. It's opening dam I'm gonna get it. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.640 Might also again, I love you both, but it could 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.439 also be to share, just saying maybe not. You know, 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.840 you could have shared the nachos. No, you want different 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:51.800 things on your nachos. 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.160 No different things on the nachos. And I'm also not 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.000 going to like share nachos with someone else. 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.920 Let alone, Bogman.

Some other in injuries here 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.600 out there. Chris Taylor was removed from Monday's game against 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.960 the Mets do to the left side discomfort. Hunter Green 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.640 a right tibia contusion, so he was hit by a 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.600 comebacker there. Ahmed Rosario is gonna be out till Friday, 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.840 so you're not gonna have him. And then a couple 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.400 of Yankees notes here too. Carlos Rodin face hitters on 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.080 Sunday in a two winning simulated game, so that's starting 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:21.600 to move in the right direction. He was dealing with 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.840 the elbow issue, but then he had a back issue 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.160 crop up during that time. So it's been a little 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.680 bit of a weird start. You're hoping here you get 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.880 him by May. It seems like we're on track. If 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.240 we're seeing two winning simulated game. Now, I would think 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:36.960 a couple of days from now you're getting him into 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:38.800 you know, starting to build up a little bit of inning. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.400 So that's a positive, but a negative. John Carlos Stanton's 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.840 gonna miss four to six weeks with the hamstring strain. 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.720 Now this is another guy too every single year. That's something, 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.680 so you know what you're getting into. But you're getting 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.240 a discount on Stanton because of that. So the Yankees lineup, 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.080 let's talk about what it looks like without Stanton in it, 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.000 because I think it's a very different looking lineup these days. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.320 Is coming off a good year. But you've seen Vulpi 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.520 struggle quite a bit here, You've seen you know, some 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.600 other guys in this lineup kind of you know, just 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.800 piecing it together. Judge is always Judge. So how important 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.840 is this injury here to the Yankees And who, if 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.800 anybody really benefits in terms of playing time? 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.480 Yeah, I think it's huge. Franchis Cordero is going to benefit. 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.320 I think they might give Oswalt Parraza an opportunity to 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.120 play a little bit. And I think Anthony Volpi benefits 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.200 because he can continue hitting at the top of the lineup, 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.760 and if his bat is struggling, it gives them a 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.440 little bit more leeway to keep him in the lineup. 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.400 So I think those are your biggest beneficiaries. 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.560 And cousin Donnie and all other people saying men don't 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.240 share helmet nachos, I mean you can. You just have 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.000 to find the right man to share them with or 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.320 woman to share them with. So it was like, just 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.600 to be clear too on the nacho situation here. Yeah, 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.120 before we move on from this, I have a. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:52.360 Picture of it if you want to see it. By 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.320 the way, online I tweeted a picture of it and 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.120 people were they were aghast at Well, I know they have. 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.960 Him at City Field. I haven't had the nacho helmet. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.480 I mean it sounds delicious. What did you get in 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.720 the nacho helmet? I assume some sort of meat. Oh 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.120 not you you don't get me. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.640 But they did the meat in there, but it was 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.400 like a chee, you know, like but it was like 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.560 a gourmet cheese sauce, and it had like jalapenos and 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.400 some beans and some tomatoes. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:17.400 And how much was this thirty two dollars? 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.119 Twenty eight dollars twenty. 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.200 Eight dollars just under just south of thirty. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.320 I mean when I did drink and it it was 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.920 forty five dollars, and I was like this, I am dumb, 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.640 Like I this is why I have money problems because 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.600 I just spent forty five dollars on this. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.040 Here's the best transition we're going to make all year. 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.280 Speaking of dumb, did you see Anthony Bass's tweets yesterday 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.120 on the plane? 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.360 You're in the dumb category? Is that where you're at 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:45.800 with him? Are you in the like Key's? 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.320 No. I'm a parent, So as a parent, I'm responsible 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.480 for my own children most of the time and things 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.720 that they do. If any of my children have an 0:16:54.960 --> 0:17:00.080 entire giant bag of popcorn in which they open and 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.320 then that it gets everywhere, I'm going to make them 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.880 pick it up first and foremost. If I need help, 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.600 I will ask the fight attendant, do you have something 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.320 that can help me clean up this giant mess that 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.800 my children have made? Because they're my children I'm teaching 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.879 them to be responsible and not entitled. If you miss this, 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:17.560 run to the Twitter machine and see this, because this 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.840 was this was I sub tweets of this amazing, and 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.840 the retweets three quotes were amazing. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:28.359 But I'm not gonna have some if it really was 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.119 how it was laid out, I'm not gonna have some 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.040 stewardess or anybody talk to my kids like they talk. 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.680 That's my only problem because I agree my kids were 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.280 very cognizant of what's going on. 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.320 Why did they get to the point where she had 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.000 to say something? Maybe because it was sitting there. 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.320 Yeah, all of that is reason. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.760 Because other people were saying, oh my god, there's popcorn 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.920 all over my stuff, and I'm sitting in here trying 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:48.240 to not. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.359 Have gotten to the point where, like you're saying, my 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.600 kids would have left all the popcorn and everybody has 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:54.879 to and they have to do that. I would have 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.080 not gotten to that point because I completely agree, very 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.800 cognizant of what's going on around me, but would also 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:02.399
