Scott Bogman, it's great 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.600 to see your face. I hope life is going better 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.760 for you than it is the Anaheim Angels. 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:52.919 Yeah, you know what it is. 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.400 Even though the d back Scott absolutely smoked last night 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.360 and have been on a downward spiral ever since playing 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.000 the Dodgers, it is still going better than the Angels 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:02.400 for sure. 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.479 Yes, yes, so. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.399 not won a game in many moons. It's been a 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:13.920 long time and I always feel like tasty. Well, you 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.039 know they had a big hot stretch there for a 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.720 while and then inevitably you know it's gonna come back around. 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.400 But the thing is, if you have the big hot 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.360 stretch and the big hole stretch, guess what that makes 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.039 you a five hundred baseball team. So I don't know 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.000 how you work your way out of this. I'm not sure, 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.840 but but Larry wants to know if you're flying your 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:32.840 d Backs flag upside down right now? 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.840 I did, I am, I said, until they cut Mark 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.720 Milance and this d Backs flag is hanging upside down 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:40.400 in my lawn. 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:41.640 I'll tell you that much. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.240 I am so Lance. I can not of that. Yeah, 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.120 not a big fan. Guy is piping ninety one down 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.680 the middle of the plate. So not my favorite. 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.400 Well, let's get to my favorite. Let's get to the headlines, 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.120 and we're gonna start off with a cycle. Another cycle, well, 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.800 this one by Eduardo Escobar, who was our lineup builder. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.800 Yesterday over on fandom we talked about those guys in 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.880 the middle of the Mets lineup. We talked about Carrasco 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.640 winning games looking for bad blakes. Now, well guess what 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.040 we got them all? It was great. Carrasco ten strikeouts, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.360 and he gets tied for the major league lead with 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.280 seven wins, so another big victory for them. Boba shit, 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.840 HiT's a two run homer in a route of the 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.920 Jays over the Orioles, I mean, excuse me, over the Royals, 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.840 and Vlad Guerrero also went yard. So I am now 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.359 I believe up to fourteen, So I'm coming for that 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.520 leader board. I know Mayer's got seventeen, but I am 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.400 right there. I am so close. And yesterday it was 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.080 double dipping. You got two home runs for catchers, so 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:42.760 I'm not sure how that worked out for everybody. We'll 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.000 find out later in the show. Trout did finally get. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:50.840 A hit, finally, finally, big part of the problem, Trout, geez, 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:51.960 way to get on track. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.120 Are you getting paid enough money to not get hits? 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.560 Come on, he hadn't been hitless since May twenty eighth. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.760 That's a long time. And when Michael Wakes throwing three 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.480 hit shutouts against you, I think that's that's like the 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.320 biggest red flag he could possibly have. The Astros are 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.480 very good yesterday again, three hits, a homer, a stolen 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.000 base for Tucker. We're gonna talk a lot about Julio 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.400 Rodriguez today. That's the guy we're gonna get to. Hunter Green, 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.160 fantastic outing against your Diamondbacks. I continue to don't I 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.880 just don't understand. Hunter Green has fallen off the charts 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.160 in the America and the National League Rookie of the 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.119 Year race, and I don't know why, but I still 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.320 think he is very much in this race. Actually, Bobby, 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.480 tell me about your thoughts of Hunter Green last night. 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.480 I'm gonna go look and see what those odds are 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:34.720 right now. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.800 I'm betting Yeah, Look, he was very good last night. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.640 I d Backs have the second highest k rate in 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.080 the league right now. I believe behind maybe the Angels 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:45.760 is the only team that that's worse than them. 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.680 If i'm it could be the Braves. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.520 I get him confused, but they're real bad, the d Backs, 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.320 and they're not on a good pace right now. And 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.640 Hunter Green, you know, if you let him take advantage, 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.320 he absolutely will. I think the reason why he's low 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.680 on those Rookies the Year odds are because it is 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.080 because the Reds are just gonna let him work it 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.120 out in the big so he's gonna have if he sucks, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.400 he's gonna work it out in the bigs. If he's amazing, 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.640 he's gonna work it out in the bigs. So it's 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.000 gonna be a rollercoaster all year long with this dude. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.719 But to your credit, show the NL is wide open 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:20.760 for Rookie of the Year. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.800 So he is forty odds forty one, forty to one. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.279 Like, how is it say his name or does it 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.640 just say the field is forty to one and he's 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:29.919 in it? 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:31.600 I mean, and I was just making a sure like 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.600 I'm looking at the right guy. Yeah, it's Hunter Green 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:38.000 forty to one, forty five in one spot, thirty in another. 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.240 I mean, who are the top three right now in 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.520 the NL? You have that? 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.400 I do, hold on one second, but that's just stunning. 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.360 I mean I made a wager early on one hundred Green. 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.120 I think I had it like nine to one or 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.640 something like that, and of course he had to give 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.760 up the five home runs. Everybody lost their mind and 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.800 all that stuff happens. But man alive like that, that's 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.280 just going in the wrong direction. I don't know if 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.000 it's changed significantly in the last a few hours or 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.200 anything like that, but in the National League so far, 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.640 he got Mackenzie Gore Nolan Gorman say, yes, Uzuki's still 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.320 at the top, but he has now moved to plus 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.040 six hundred. So we went from like two to one 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.000 to plus six hundred. 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.200 Well, and then we'll still a chance for say how 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:16.159 to win. I mean, if he had just backed on 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.880 vanduel forty five, I mean, come on, it's a good 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.120 bet to make. You know, if forty five to one, 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.840 throw throw yourself twenty bucks on it and see if 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.719 it works out or however much you know, whatever unit 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:28.520 is to you. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.600 So I would I would do that. 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.480 I just I just don't know, Like I mean, Nolan 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.119 Gorman's dealing with a back injury. Mackenzie Gore has been great. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.480 But that's why I said it's wide open in there now. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.760 Yeah, I mean, you look around everything. Suzuki is not 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:42.760 the guy. I keep telling everybody. 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:43.200 He's not the guy. 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.440 We haven't seen Max Meyer yet. I mean, forty five 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.359 to one hundred green right now, that's just absurd, Like, 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.000 I mean, he might as well take a shot on it. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.920 It's something also in terms of what's going on in 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.480 the news. Obviously, yesterday the Rangers Guardian game was postponed 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.960 due to rain, and somebody on Twitter said, good call 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.159 on John Gray. I'm like he got rained out the 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.800 shows a new good call on John Gray. Are you 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:06.800 not a weather man? 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:13.560 To Joe? Come on, remember Nick, remember that the weather Man. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.000 I don't remember the weather I remember the Family Man. 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.640 I remember the Family Man, the weather stretch of movies 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.840 where he was playing people with the last with Man 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:23.560 at the end of it. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.080 Maybe he'll play bog Man at all. 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:35.880 So I want to talk to you about individual defensive players. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:45.400 So many so okay, uh, san Diego Padres, Okay, Padre, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.520 San Diego Padres. Fernando Tettis Junior, the wrist looking better. 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.240 He's apparently gonna start swinging a batsuit. Their speculation. I 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.839 just heard on MLB Network before the show that it 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.600 looks like you might get Fernando Tetis Junior back in June. 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.640 Now that is very exciting for those of us who 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.119 rostered him. I've roster him in the Black Book Challenge League, 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:07.920 and I said, I'm gonna go take a shot on 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.080 Glaber Torres to hold the fork down in the meantime. 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.560 That's worked out. More on him later in the show, 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.800 but Tatis, if he can come back in the next 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.280 few weeks. That's a huge lift for this Padres offense 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.280 that has really struggled for the most part this year. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.560 I mean, it's kind of it kind of seems like 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.640 they're waiting to break out until Tatis gets back with them, 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.040 right so, because they've spent so much money on the roster, 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.200 it looks so good and they're kind of underperforming at 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.760 this point. My first snarky thought was, I can't wait 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.080 for Fernando Tis to come back so he can blow 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.000 out his shoulder after waiting on the wrists for the 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:45.440 last six months because he decided not to have surgery 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.520 on the shoulder. So I don't know, man, I hope 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.720 he's okay. It's always better when you know the best 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.160 players are actually playing. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.680 But I don't have. 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.559 A ton of confidence in Tatis right now. And remember 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.760 the dude fell on his wrist the day playing soccer. Like, 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.680 I don't know, he just looks like he's waiting to 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:05.160 get hurt. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.680 To me. Well, he was working on a shortstop too, 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.000 which I thought was odd. I thought, if anything, let's 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.560 get him out in the outfield where he doesn't have 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.080 to take nearly as much contact, potentially nearly as many 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.760 reps I mean, I get it, he's a shortstop. He 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.000 wants to play short stop. But I don't know, man, 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:22.680 maybe he's just better off than the outfit need that 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:27.480 bat in that lineup. Tylor McGill expected back this weekend, 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.240 Tyler the Terrible, so he shall return for the New 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.640 York Metropolitans. So that's also good news. We can always 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.360 use more pictures. Can we talk about this? Can we 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.000 talk about Julio Rodriguez and what kind of tear this 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.880 guy's been on? Now? That was my share. I had 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:41.800 two guys in the share for American League Group of 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.120 the Year. One was Rodriguez, one Bobby Wit the j 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:49.240 Rod share looking good right now. A practice impatience, if 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.000 you will. Bogman. Over April and March he had two 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.160 six with a two to eighty four OVP, thirty strikeouts. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.240 Now the strikeouts haven't gone away. He's done twenty nine 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.920 strikeouts in the month of May, six homers, seventeen R 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.400 five steals, hit three ZHO nine in that month with 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.120 an eight sixty six OPS. So far in June over 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.079 six games, hitting three point fifty with a nine to 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.400 sixty six OPS. So once again, Julio Rodriguez showing you 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.600 why everyone was so excited about him. Yeah, but also 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.000 a little less than impatience. I think for fantasy owners 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.240 out there for sure. 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.400 I mean when you when you take a rookie, and 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.720 this is why everyone says to take one. You don't 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.280 take multiple rookies, you know. This is why everyone says 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.600 to take one, because they have such violent swings in 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.880 their performance initially, and this is what this is what say. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.080 I did say I was amazing for the first month 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.040 and has been awful ever since then. Julio is the opposite. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.800 He was awful the first month, has been amazing since then. 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.920 And his stat cast page, his Baseball savon page, really 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:46.440 shows you a rookie. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:46.720 You know. 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.640 His max ex velocity is top five percent, his k 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.720 rate is bottom ten percent, you know, so it shows, 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.679 it shows wild swings in a player like this, So 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.440 you know, expect more bumps, more peaks and valleys for 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:04.880 Julio moving forward this year. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:05.280 For sure. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.400 I think you just named the film that Nick Cage 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.559 is going to star as Scott Bogman in Peak Scott 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:18.200 Bogman played by Nick Cage in Max VELOCITYX. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:23.040 Velocity, Max Exit Velocity. Maybe if we're talking about food. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:28.320 How are you gonna get to the front of that 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.160 drive through? That's the question, all right, I can't believe it. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.520 Look at the line. You've gotta find a way to 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.560 the front. The babbit leaders, I want to talk about this. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.600 Let's do a little deep dive here for a second. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.920 Some of the guys who have babbebs that are off 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.680 the charts right now. Jady Martinez at four sixty eight 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.640 on the year, Paul Goldschman at three ninety seven, Luis 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.240 Arise at three ninety three, Garrett Cooper's been excelling three 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:55.040 to eighty three, Xander Bogart's in the top ten, Tim Anderson, Devers, 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.280 Chris Taylor, and Julio rounds out that top ten. So 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.880 obviously we're looking at the it's you know, there's a 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.280 certain sustainability factor to these things. Some of these guys 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.600 that are in that three fifty to five hundred range 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.680 of the names like Chris Taylor, Garrett Cooper, Arise, like 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.120 these are the guys you gotta be a little afraid of. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.920 I know Rise is a big contact guy, but still 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.720 like some of those guys, you gotta be a little 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.520 worried about it. Even Machado, he's right up there at 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.880 three sixty one. Eventually that's gonna come back a little bit, 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:21.280 don't you. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.480 Think for sure? 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.760 I mean, you know, just looking at like like Chris 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.640 Taylor has a very high career BABEP it's three forty six, 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.679 so you know, uh, this is kind of what he 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.600 does anyway, but three seventy seven is still well above that. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.679 So you know, anyone that is leading the league in 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.480 backpup you should expect regression in because it showed you know, 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.200 this stat shows a lot of luck. But you know, 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.560 some of these guys are just good hitters. And the 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.600 reason their backpeb besides because they sting the ball. They 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.800 hit it very very hard, so you know, uh it 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.240 it gets between those gaps a little quicker. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.160 So and that's what you see with a lot of 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:57.880 these players here. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.040 Yeah, and it's no surprise see names on that list, 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.760 like you know, Ty France, Jeff McNeil's been very hot, 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.800 he's been very good in there. Cabrian Hayes was one 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.600 that surprised me. He'sitting two eighty nine in the year 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.880 the babbitt is three sixty, hasn't it for a lot 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.320 of power. But Brandon marsh is another guy with a 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.560 weird one. He's got a three fifty six Babbitt but 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.640 if you look over at the batting average is two fifty, 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.520 so one hundred point difference there. That's one too. That's interesting. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.800 He's just been striking out a lot, but my goodness, 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.120 and it makes the contact. It's definitely going out there. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.640 It's also good to get drin. Carlos Stanton back this 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.079 week for the Yankees. He's on that top twenty five list. Also, 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.600 Caesar Hernandez another guy that keeps popping up in some 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.440 of these deep dives. Oh homers telling everybody, but so 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.640 good outside of that, but in a points league, he's 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.760 just finding ways to be productive, which I. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:45.480 Kind of like, yeah, I mean, I you know, I 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.960 have Caesar in a bunch of leagues because he's hitting 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.559 lead off, so uh, you know, a lot of runs, 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.480 a lot of batting average, just blanking you in homers. 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.199 And it's just kind of difficult to take a zero 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.680 in homers these days on your roster because yeah, unless dfs, 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.840 of course, but you know, because it seems like everybody 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.720 hits twenty. So if you take a guy with zero 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.200 you have to have the guy to hit forty that 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.160 is going to make up for him. So it's just 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.040 difficult to roster a guy like that sometimes. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.320 So yeah, I'm out on those guys. It's the same 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:18.920 reason I don't like the guys who are all power 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.600 and no batting average either. I just I don't like 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.160 the players that zap you somewhere else. I know some 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.160 people say you can make it work, and you can. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.640 There's a little bit of luck into that too, almost 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:28.040 too much. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.679 That's Moon Night out there. Your skills need to balance. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.360 So I haven't seen The Moonnight yet. Is it worth 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:34.600 my time? Is it good? 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.760 It is? Okay, it is. I've heard a lot of 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.800 like describes incredible in it. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.400 He really, yes, so because he has to play so 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:42.520 many different characters. 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.080 So because Moonnight is got multiple personality, so. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:48.960 Nick Age can play a lot of different characters, but 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.040 they all sound just like Nick. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.520 They all sound like Nick Cage, right, There's no there's 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:53.760 no throw in your voice at all. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.200 There's no accents or anything. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.400 So I'm trying to think my my top three Nick 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.840 Cage movies have to be Raising Arizona. Still at the time, 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.000 I still I think Raison Arsla is just amazing. I 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:09.200 would say probably con Air and then face Off, right, 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.520 is that like the like the. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.160 Con Air face Off have to be on there. The 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.120 third one is really dealer's choice. You could throw a 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.040 National Treasure in there. Uh national Treasure? 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:19.840 Really? 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.400 Uh that I don't mean it's not surprising because you 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.200 get you will put your nose in the air about 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:26.760 some movies. 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.360 Just I will not see it's not true. I just thought, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:35.720 I like, yeah, but but you were Yeah, but you 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.920 were young when con Air came out, come on, you 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.440 know so Uh, I was in height, I was in college. 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.040 I think when Conny Air came out. Really the buddy 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.240 in the box? Uh, the Rock, I didn't like the rock. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.160 The rock to me was, how did. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.640 You not like the rock? What do you comedy? The 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:52.200 rock was? 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:53.960 It was great? 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.000 Uh dude, Have you got to the part in Brooklyn 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.720 nine nine where Kevin and Peralta are discussing all the 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:00.960 wor Nick Cage. 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.360 No, I don't think I've gotten to that point. But 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.160 I have gotten to the point in Brooklyn nine nine though, 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.560 where we've gone through like the die Hard stuff and 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.760 all the things. So he's obviously a man after my 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.920 own heart. All right, here we go today in baseball history, 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.400 which is also a fun fact, we're doing both of 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.920 them together today. In nineteen ninety four, A's outfit Rickey 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:22.040 Henderson Steels is one thousand, one hundredth career base on 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.640 this day. Just for some perspective, last year in Major 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.360 League Baseball, they were two thousand stolen bases in the 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.040 entire league, playing one hundred and sixty two games against 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.160 each other, it was twenty one hundred stolen bases. 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.560 And then he said, now I am the greatest of 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.920 all time. Right, what a speech. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.680 Oh my god, I love him. It's so funny. Okay, So, 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.920 Glaber Torre, as we teased this at the top of 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.240 the show, this was a player a lot of people 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.880 left for dead, I continued to say in draft season, 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.840 this was a player that has was too young, with 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.720 too much talent, too much of that can't miss stuff. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.240 And also the fact that you saw the dude put 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.240 up thirty home runs, and you put up a great 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.000 season at a young age. So why are we going 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.800 to give up on this guy altogether? He's dirt cheap. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:08.760 Let's take a flyer. Now. Entering today's action, Torres is 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.320 ranked in the ninety fourth percentile among major leaguers within 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.840 ninety two point three miles per hour. Exit velocity is 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.600 five to seventy five. Expected slugging percentage ranks in the 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.080 ninety second percent tile. The hard hit rate twelve point 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.800 nine percent up from last year. So everything is here. 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.720 I mean, the guy's on pace for a thirty eighty 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.240 season and that's fantastic from the middle infield. He can't 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.240 ask for more than that. So once again, I feel 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.560 like the theme of today is patience. But all the numbers, 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.360 all the deeper stats are telling you labor Tours is 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.280 going in the right direction. That's a player. I feel 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:41.920 like if you had drafted him, you took a shot. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.000 You're really proud of yourself. Is there any concern though, 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:46.800 because you did see some of the downside last year? 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:48.440 Are you saying, man, this is so great, this is 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.200 the turnaround. Or are you saying, yes, this is the 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.080 guy who's getting back to being the guy he was 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.040 always supposed to be and showed us he could be 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:55.520 just a few short years ago. 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:57.200 No, I think he's getting back. You know. 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.640 It's funny, WELSCHNEI were doing interviews in the season. You 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.000 know Sarus pointed out Glabor Torres as a guy that 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.200 he was investing a lot in, and if you look 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.840 at him too, you know, hitting two forty seven, which 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.440 isn't particularly fantastic. He's a career to sixty six hitter. 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.119 But we just talked about Bapup Joe. His Backpup is 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.840 to forty eight this year and his career is three hundred, 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.960 so he's hitting fifty points below what his career is. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:25.760 So it looks like there's positive regression coming here for 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.920 for Glabor Torres and his batting average, which is also 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.680 going to lead to more homers and driving in more runs, 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:33.960 to scoring more runs. So they're still meat on the 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.920 bone for Torres to improve this year as well. So 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.160 I'm definitely on board. I got multiple shares with Labor. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.480 I actually forgot a couple of Nicholas Cage movies. I'm 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:44.160 looking at it now. 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:48.359 Adaptation very good. That's a very good movie. H And 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:53.000 also a match stick Man Struck, match stick Man, very good. 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.119 Movie, match stick Man Out Love, Moonstruck. 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:56.400 How great is he in Moonstruck? 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.080 I don't think that moved hand. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.680 I lost my bride. Johnny has his hand. Johnny has 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:03.280 his bride. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.639 That's great, hilarious, man, I feel like I don't need 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:06.440 to see it anymore. 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:07.919 And then he just killed it. 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.480 Yeah, match stick Man was a good one too. I 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.600 forgot Dick Matts. Yeah, that's a good flame. We need 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.600 more movies like that. Absolutely a really good movie. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:18.679
