I don't know how 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.519 close we are. I don't know we're at. 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.640 Thirteen point eight.

But we are very very close right now. 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.160 So here's the thing. We don't have to do it 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.880 the next day, you know, like not everybody can grow 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:08.880 a mustache the next day. 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.720 Like that, we could start the growing process right. 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.240 Well, we'll set a date so everybody can be there 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:15.279 for the show, and we'll tell. 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:16.640 Everybody what the mustache ride. 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.759 Well, right exactly, that's exactly what we'll call it. Of course, 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.360 that won't offend anybody, and I think that's what we'll do. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.199 We'll set a date, we'll make it a big thing, 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.240 and that way everybody has time to grow set appropriate 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.160 mustaches that they like that they want to display here 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.360 on the program. And look at peanuts and the crackerjacks. 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.360 You can, you know, jump in there as well. 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.880 We're all that's a great idea to make a mustache 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.600 room in the discord that you guys can get if 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.360 you sign up on that's why you sign up for 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.720 Fantasy Pros, so you guys can get in on the 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.320 mustache room and we can share pictures of our mustaches. 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.520 Yeah. BT says that Joe shaved thirty minutes ago and 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.120 that may or may not be true. Just saying, all right, 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.840 let's get to the action from MLB for the weekend, 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.720 and let's start with Nolan Jones. My dude, he was 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.800 in our waiver Wire video here a couple of weeks ago, 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.720 in the program before he got called up, even said 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.160 go out and pick this guy up. He had a 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.200 four hundred and seventy two walk off homer yesterday. Not 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.160 too shabby. Rockies get a victory there. Nolan Jones, he's 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.720 got some power. Another home run over the weekend as well. 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.000 I had added him in my league before I did 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.679 the Waiver Wire video, which is why he said, let's 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.200 add this guy now, let's be proactive. Great job by him, 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.440 Elie Dela Cruz two for four, excuse me, two for 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.560 three with an RBI. He had two walks and a 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.520 steel on Sunday, so he continues to look good. These 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.960 are two young players here. Let's talk about Dela Cruz 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.200 and let's talk about Nolan Jones. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.800 Yeah, let's start with actually Nolan Jones. Like, Nolan Jones 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.120 is fun back when he was with the Guardians, really 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.120 good OBP player. I still say he's just a better 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.840 OBP player. The problem is is like that three sixty 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.520 average is not sustainable for him. He's always hit the 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.960 ball really hard there. I mean, that was the excitement 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.680 when he went to Colorado. It was like, holy crap, 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.239 it's like thirty plus home run potential if he starts 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.720 to work out. Things are working out right now. Don't 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.119 love thirty one percent strikeout rate. I don't think he's 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.880 gonna hit for high average. I think this is like 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.600 a two to fifty guy butt he's going right now. So, 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.760 as always, we can pick apart the things. Do I 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.480 believe in Nolan Jones all year? I personally kind of don't, 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.360 but write it out, write it out right now because 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:17.160 he's playing well. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.280 But Ellie Dela Corrado too. I mean, yeah, that's why 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.080 the McMahon in the last two weeks has been he's 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.200 been on fire. McMahon the last two weeks. If you 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.560 look at that's unbelievable. So the Rockies pulling themselves out 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.920 of the tailspin of what the season's been. They were 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.320 going to be a little bit better at some point. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.000 They've been bad. But Nolan Jones, like you said, you know, 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.800 you look at the PCL numbers and they're always gonna 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.760 be inflated because it's PCL. But at the same time, 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.760 he's playing in Colorado half his game, so you can 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.200 live with the inflation of PCL numbers. And a guy 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.200 who plays for the Rockies, I always say that. 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.440 Yeah, I am corner outfielder, like you know, PROFI is 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.560 making it work right now, so Nolan Jones can make 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.880 it work. There's some offensive thing there. So Ellie de 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:58.240 la Cruz, Ellie is everything that we hyped him up 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.280 to be. I little nervous last week with all the like, hey, 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.600 you know, he's the top this short stop and you 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.880 guys are going to like freak out and get all up, 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.839 you know, up into arms and everything. But so far, 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.680 I think it's lived up to all expectations and more. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.880 But we'll tell you I may or may not bring 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.960 up Ellie Daia Cruz in this week's trade video that's 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:25.280 going to be dropping tomorrow only because of this. I 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.240 only want to throw this out almost forty strikeout rate, 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:34.440 and is his value any higher right now? And here's 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.520 the other thing, and Redraft just to be sure, Redraft Dynasty. 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.040 We're not having this conversation with Ellie, but only I just. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:41.880 Want to say that because you know, the lunatics out there, 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:46.000 they're going. I understand he told me to pick up 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:46.479 this guy, and. 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.400 I still believe that he can be upward. That is 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:57.679 exactly how I still believe that he could be upwards 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.440 of a top five short stop for this year. But 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.800 Joe and I and other people I've been tagged in, 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:08.480 I have seen some wild ass trades, some wild trade off. 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.120 Oh I've seen what have. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.000 You seen out in the streets and the Twitter and 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:13.479 the fancy baseball. 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.560 I have seen people they're like, should I trade Ellie 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:22.159 for this? And and this is like Many Machado is 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.880 involved in the trade and it's not giving up much. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.920 More that one. I was tagging that one. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.599 Many Machado is up in there, Austin Riley is up 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.680 in their high end Spencer Strider. I mean, you're seeing 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.080 huge pieces that people are trying to get Ellie that 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.440 I think it's worth considering looking because like, Ellie's got 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.479 a six hundred babbit, Ellie has a almost. 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:53.880 Forteen strikeout rate. That's not sustainable. Just throwing it out here. 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.040 But even I don't I don't want to be all 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.800 negative because I was all positive. I just think it's 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.520 worth looking because there is a whole lot of value 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.359 out there that maybe someone wants to get bonkers with it, 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.600 and I'm looking for someone that wants to get dirty. 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.840 So that's all that I'm saying with Ellie is sometimes great. 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:12.360 What is new. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:17.039 He'll be capitalized on fantasy to bring out, you know, 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.479 a huge, huge return. So that's my big consideration. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.480 That's Welsh always looking to get dirty. Razor says, by 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.159 the way, he's so rare card for Ellie de la 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.120 Cruz is up to like six hundred. 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.400 Dollars value, right, So which one I mean because there's 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:30.720 a limited one one out there. 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.160 I think there's a the limited so rare cards. I 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.680 don't know which one that was specifically. But to Welsh's point, 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:41.760 I agree, this is peak and every young player, no 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.480 matter how good, is going to have peaks and valleys. 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.080 And the Reds have been surprisingly good over their last 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.400 forty games, too, kind of sneaky good after a very 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.640 slow start to the season. That Central Division is far 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.680 from anybody really pulling away as like the gang that 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.680 can't shoot straight, like they all just kind of beating 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.160 themselves constantly. So the Reds my have something fun going 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.479 on and cooking. But to Welsh's point, when you have 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.520 big time stars coming your other way, for in a 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.360 redraft league, for Lied de la Cruise, it's something you 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.560 really consider and I take the tires on what the 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.080 value is because it might surprise you. 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.840 And the big thing is more like when you get 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.240 one of those offers where you look around and you're like, 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.520 I have to do this right, Like that's the type 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.560 of offer, not a should I do this type of 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.200 trade because you guys will and it's all cool. I 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.440 love seeing all your offers and stuff like that. You 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.800 guys send it out, and you send out and you're like, hey, 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.120 what do you think about this? I bet you I 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.720 don't like it. But if you're like, I have to 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.080 do this right, that's probably the type of trade that 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.040 you want to be looking at for. I just think 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.560 you might be able to bolster your team rest of 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.200 season in multiple spots. But this isn't about getting like 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.960 Diroistrata and this is about getting a lead of This is. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.160 About getting top tier, first second round talent guys. And 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.640 if that's the case, then you make that trade. But 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.280 you know the other point about Della Kruze will move 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:00.520 on to other things too. There's been a lot of 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.120 time on this, but it does you know, it does 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.920 beg to recall to everybody out there that there's going 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.680 to be adjustment periods, that they're going to find holes. 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.360 He's a kid, you know, they're going to find some 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.520 of the deficiencies in this game. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.920 And they're going thirty percent striker exact five games striking 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:18.760 out theseils. 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:20.120 Right, yeah, all right. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.800 I hate it. I hate it because I know he's exciting. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.120 I've been excited. I'm still excited. It's just the only 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.560 reason that's pushed it is the amount of insane trades 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:30.800 that are going the way, and this is one of 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.319 the few. In the last thing, there's one of the 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.480 few things and guys that you've seen that their value 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.719 has peaked closely off of the call up. The call 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.959 up is usually the big time. Everyone gets excited. That's 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.200 the best trade point. But it's gone to two extra 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.079 levels with that Homer and the stolen bases, and I'm 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.360 the fastest man on the planet. Just give her a 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.880 peak and then don't be afraid to, you know, reject 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.880 when they send stupid offers. Move on and keep your 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.280 elly right and you know, home you're happy, yes, Ja, 0:08:58.520 --> 0:08:59.080 so layer went. 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.000 I'm happy. Two more home for him. I keep saying 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.400 to trade him, though I don't care, like this is 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.000 another guy too. I just say, trade Hore Solaier. The 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.840 bottoms dropping out. At some point he might keep this 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.040 up all the way of the All Star Break, but 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.400 I'm telling you, at some point, it's got to give James. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.839 Bieber number one hitter. By the way against lefties, I've 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.240 been I was looking last night in the betting side 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.319 of this. You can, you know, go look at splits verses, 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:20.640 and I was looking at I'm gonna just pull it 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.160 up just real quick and we can move on. I thought, 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.400 from a homer perspective, he has the Yeah, he's tied 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.559 with him and Freddy Freeman of the most homers against 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.200 lefties on the year. He's hitting three thirty three with 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.080 nine homers against lefties. It is him, Freddy Freeman, And 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.880 you know what I know, it's weird. Kyle Schwarber, two lefties. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.040 Two of the three are lefties against lefty crime with 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.160 powers Schwarber. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.440 By the way, Schwarbur's so hot he blew up that 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.280 road on I ninety five. We're outside of Philadelphia, That's 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.640 how hot the Schwarbs is right now. Shane Bieber also hot. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.800 He is now five and three after seven shutout innings 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.120 nine strikeouts in that contest. He is now a three 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.160 two nine ERA. All right, so let's pick a spot 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.360 here for Shamee the other one. Shane, what do you 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:04.960 mean one? 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.360 I thought you were going to do a trade. Would 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.440 you want this guy or Shane Bieber the other guy? No? 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.800 No, no, I know that for trading him prediction instead? 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:16.040 Where Shane Bieber July thirty first. 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.319 Oh, are you giving the options or we're just speaking? 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.400 Well, I'm giving you all the options. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.520 You know, who could use him? A team like the Diamondbacks. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.480 The Diamondbacks rotation has got some questions in bullpen. I 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.000 think the Reds, if they wanted to compete, should be aggressive. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.719 The Mariners would make a ton of sense. Now, well, 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.560 those are three teams that pop, But I think anybody 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.560 the reason, by the way the Reds is the Guardians 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.400 in Red share a complex and sometimes there's inner trade working. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.920 That's easy on that front, but I don't know. I 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.440 think the Mariners and Diamondbacks are two. 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.160 It's no different than your fantasy league in that regard 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.640 everybody like you have relationships with people in your league. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.720 That in your league, and you're going to make trades 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.839 with those people because you communicate better with them most 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.760 of the time. So that's one of the things people 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.439 think that that's an overrated that it is not. It 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.439 happens after you know, all those games, they go out, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.280 they have dinner together, they hit the bar and stuff 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.200 like that, they go play golf together. It's easier to 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.040 make deals with those people. Jaj Jackson, by the way, 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:15.920 has a great question here. We got to get this 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.040 one in. I got an offer of Jordan for Dela 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.280 Cruz with Jorden being out for four to six weeks. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.160 This is a good idea or bad idea. I say 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:25.800 a bad idea. For four to six weeks is a 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.840 long time at this juncture in the season. If it 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.560 was two to three maybe, but four to six again, 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.640 if it's on that longer time frame and he has 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.280 a reinjury or something like, that's always possible. I don't know, Welsh, 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.160 this is a tough sell for me. I'd love to 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.760 get Alvarez, but I don't know. What do you think? 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.160 I say, no, nah, I'm nah, Like I love the idea. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.440 This is exactly what I'm talking about again, trying to 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.920 reiterate one last time, like it's not about showing good. 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.640 But this is such a negative attachment because I just 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.640 don't want to for six weeks and nothing. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.040 Yeah, and I don't want like what if something happens, 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.760 like I don't want something to rehappen. I mean, this 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.960 is you could do much better than that, dude. Elly 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.640 went for nine to ninety five of one thousand fab 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.439 budget this week on average around four hundred. When people 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.320 don't have money left, they spent every dollar they could. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.560 In NBC, it's a hot name. Jordan is fun, but 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.440 six weeks of injured time that don't That don't do 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.360 it for me. And he was injured prior to the season. 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.400 You remember his I got value on him because he 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.400 was injured. He's injured again, so you know what more 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.160 and more, No, sir, I don't know how. 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.040 He was still available in any league this past weekend. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:34.120 I don't even well. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.480 If he wasn't drafted in n FBC, he had to 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.480 be put back in the pool like my NFBC league. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.960 He was drafted and then cut and I got him 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.440 two weeks ago for forty bucks. But now he was 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:50.360 thrown into the pool and people were just unloading every 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.000 single dollar that they had, just crazy money on Ellie. 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:54.559 Well, it means what you should do. Let's take a 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.360 quick break in the action to tell you about Fanimal. 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.640 I love live events, but I hate buying tickets the 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.000 hidden fees they suck. It's like paying for a whole 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.360 other person who's not even there to be there with 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.840 you at the event, and customer service is terrible, and 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.200 coordinating with friends is a nightmare. But then I discovered 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:15.000 fanimal and Fannamal has tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball, 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.280 you name it, and Major League Baseball. And plus there's 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.120 no fees. The price you see is actually the price 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.480 you pay. What a concept. You heard it here first. 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.240 Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.200 MLB tickets. And we've all experienced how painful it is 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.040 to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.000 end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.079 down the friends to get reimbursed, and if they flake, 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.520 I'm stuck with the whole bill. But Fnimal's patentent group 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:43.240 purchase makes it easy to split payments with your friends, 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.400 so nobody's left holding the bag and you don't have 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.440 to commit until your friends do. So just pick the seats, 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.560 pick how many tickets you want to pay for yourself, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.160 and then send the link to your friends. And when 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.280 you join your group, everyone gets stared separately and your 0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.679 tickets are secured, so you can stack cash by inviting 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.760 friends ten bucks every time someone joins your group. Catching baby. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.559 So fanomal it has an amazing customer service to don't take 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.719 my word for it. Check out their hundreds and hundreds 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.319 of five star reviews. The next time you need tickets, 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.400 go to fanimal dot com or download the fnimal app 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.840 and use the promo code fanimal MLB. That's fanimal MLB 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.960 for twenty dollars off your first purchase. Check out fanimal 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:29.280 and experience more and now back to the action. Corbyn 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.320 Carrol's also crazy three for five with a double, a 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.880 triple scored twice. I mean he also works at the 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.520 flower shop. He's unbelievable. Corey seeger over the weekend to 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.480 have a five for five game with a homer, a 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.720 double four uri. So he is back with the vengeance 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.680 and the Texas Rangers is still at the top of 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.600 that NL West Baby, and I think, dare I say 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.520 the Astros are in trouble right now. They don't have 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.400 one player on their roster with an OPS over eight 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.080 hundred not named your Don Alvarez, you were actually a Tucker, 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:01.960 Not Josel Tuvey, not made Alex Bregman, none of those guys. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.760 This is a problem for them. And with the two 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.760 guys out of the back of the rotation right now, 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.320 I think the Astros are in a bind for the 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.760 next six weeks. This is gonna be a real interesting. 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.240 Test, another great place for Bieber if they wanted to 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:15.680 make a move and they wanted to push that, I 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.160 think that'd be great. You were on this a couple 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.600 of weeks ago that this was a really sneaky team 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.880 to in the betting world if you guys like to 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.280 do any like that, like to kind of attack the Astros, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.840 And you were completely right, and even with jord On 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.200 at the time, and now it looks so so much worse. Yeah, 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.280 they're in trouble. They don't have a ton of offensive 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.360 help and the miners, justin Durden, I've kind of talked 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.160 about a couple of times that's about it, so I 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:40.960 also don't know really how they make the moves. They've 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:42.360 got some lower end guys. I don't know how they 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.080 would make that move for a guy like Bieber. But 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.840 that's also probably not everything they need. We're talking about 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.040 their offense. It's not just their pitching and Lanceome Colors 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:51.920 never going. They are in some trouble. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.720 They are, and Texas is really good. More to come 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.120 on that a little bit later. We're gonna have some 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:58.400 more Texas conversations. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.800 All these and Carol con it just makes me so happy. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.080 I love Carroll's tweet. I love when you guys tweet 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.960 at me about cork. Ah. It makes my heart just flutter. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.800 And it's like the bridge it just swells gross two 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.800 sizes every single time like this. 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.320 It's like this on Sunday, I see some mean comment 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.640 and then everyone's like Corbeck, Carrol, Wells, Corbouck, Carrol. Then 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.160 it just raises and I'm just I'm like a who 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:20.000 I'm no longer well. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.960 I mean, in all fairness, we were holding hands on 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.200 the Corbyn Carrol thing. We were all very excited about 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.240 Carol here. Uh and you know what, it feels good 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.960 because the thing that I'm most pleased if we're going 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.320 to pat ourselves in the back, and we will for 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.640 a second here and then we'll move on. Is the power, 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.720 because all those morons kept saying you would hit for power. 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:39.680 It's like when people told me Francisco Lindor wouldn't hit 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.920 for power, and or Hell's Ael Twovey wouldn't have for powers, 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:43.920 Like what are you watching? Of course they can hit 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.880 for power just because they're smaller guys. That's such a 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:48.760 stupid The only all. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.320 I'm sad about. I talked about it for almost a 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.880 year and I never did it was I wanted to 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:58.200 do a comp back when Carrol was in the miners. 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.480 I wanted to look at Mookie Betts versus Corbyn Crow 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.160 because that was the comp I was throwing out there 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.080 to when you want to look at like body size 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.480 and contact, and I felt like that was always the 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.240 right level. And then it looks like that is exactly 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.720 the point, That is exactly right Welsh. His hair grows 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:14.640 three sizes when he hears about Corbyck Carroll. 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.800 Right, all right, let's do the rookie lookie, Gunny Henderson, 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.520 our little Gunny, all grown up, Gunnar Henderson three for five, 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.159 three run homer starting to pull himself out of it. 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:29.159 Guess what, our boy, Edward Julian is back up again. Uh, 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.240 you know, I just feel bad for the guy because 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:32.480 you know, this is the kind of player you just 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.040 need to leave him alone and let him play for 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.320 a season. I think you'll figure it out. But it's like. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.840 He's like the what was it the Edward Olivaris from 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:42.600 last year where he just he would come up and 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.240 come down. He's been sent down more than any other player, 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:46.880 by the way, Ilo is. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.760 Out again as we all said he would be. I mean, 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:49.520 it was just crazy. 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.840 I'm very much in on Gunner's rebound. This was I 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.600 definitely have you know, hand up. I would say I 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.800 absolutely at points said like you could cut Gunner, but 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.520 if you listen, also said like I don't want to, 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.159 Like you know, the balance is gonna happen, but it 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.679 is tough to battle through two months. Like godspeed to 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.480 anybody that was able to roster and manage two months 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.159
