I 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:48.800 don't know where I kind of fit in on the 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.920 old guy young guy spectrum here. I'm happy you're owning 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.080 the young guy thing, because I was gonna blast you 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.080 for it. We're downstairs trying to think of a title 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:01.440 for today's show, and I'm like, well, what's more searchable, 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:06.160 Greg prospects in the title of a YouTube video or 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.640 young guys? How many people are at home googling? Hm, hmmm, 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:18.320 I need to find Fantasy Baseball young guys. Probably not many, Greg. 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.480 I realized it's Friday, but we still got we still 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.600 got some work to do. Little little winded throw up 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.200 the stairs. Clearly, I just sleep last night. It's better. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.120 I still wake up in the middle of the night, though, 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.799 I think about work and I don't like it. What. Yeah, 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.880 it sounds like something I would do. Nando. Nando tell 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.160 me this would happen, and he was right. I wake 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.639 up in the middle of night Nano da fina. But 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.400 here's what I don't do, and Nando did right, Like 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:46.680 he used to wake up in the middle of night 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.440 and have these thoughts about things he need to do 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.160 or get done, and he would put him in his 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.280 phone and write it down or just set an email 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:53.600 out right in the middle of the night to do it. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.040 I just go back to sleep, and then when I 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:57.359 wake up in the morning, I forget about what I 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.320 was thinking about. And that's about it. So that's because 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.760 I'll tell you why. Love love with dedication, love the 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.960 honesty from Gregg, that that's what I love. I'll tell 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.280 you why though, because I know once I take out 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.519 my phone or my computer, I'm up, and I don't 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:11.680 want to do that. I don't want to be up. 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.160 You really think that if you just lean over and 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:14.799 like write it in your notes on your phone, that 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.720 you can't just go back to sleep after that, because 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.320 the most mornings, you know inside baseball for you, most mornings, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.040 I wait, my alarm goes off. Almost the second the 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.520 alarm goes off, I get a text message from Cardonna, 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:31.239 like almost the second I wake up, including today, and 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:32.519 I look at it and what did I see it? 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.800 I'm you think Cardona just knows what time your alarm goes. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.160 I think he does. I'm gonna wait for at least 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.160 he's wait until you wake up, dude. It could not 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.080 have been more simultaneous today. It was bizarre. You gotta 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.120 you gotta give him credit for at least wait until 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.680 you wake He doesn't always wait today, but I tried 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.280 to give you some credit, Cardona. It was crazy, like 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.680 but once I know, I know, I've seen that, I'm up. 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.320 That's okay, and I know that hasn't gonna happen in 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.960 the middle of night, just saying I'm just sleep, Frank, 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:05.320 I slept pretty well. I went to sleep too late 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.480 because I set up to watch the end of the Blazers. Okay, 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.160 see game, pretty pretty cool ending there, use of Narks 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.360 getting tied up a little bit with Paul Georgia. That 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.160 that was fun to watch. So that game go goes 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.280 into overtime. I watched the end of that, and before 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.880 I know it, it's almost two am, and I have 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.200 to go to sleep and I have to wake up 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:25.600 at eight thirty. So little little tired this morning. I'm 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.880 being honest, you know, I just drank a red Bull 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.080 something something I don't normally do and I don't really 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.159 advocate all that much, but I kind of needed that burst. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.760 I needed that Chris Ventra burst for Friday, Greg, so 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.400 I could be doing better, and I think I'm slowly 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.760 working up at the day meat today, no meat today 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.680 either that it's correct, well, I mean it doesn't matter 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.680 for you, for me yet for you. We almost planned 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.480 a shake check date. We thought we we thought we did. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.480 I actually text you right afterwards to be fair. I 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.760 actually I asked you earlier this week, which day do 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.920 you want to do that you chose Friday. I offer 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.720 whatever you do, anything you want. It's very hard to 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.120 remember until like the day of. I got a few 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.560 text messages this morning. That's kind of how I don't 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.840 know if this works for like all Christian or Catholic people, 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.920 but it's kind of like every Friday morning or ash Wednesday, 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.360 they'll just be like a text chain like, hey, just 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.360 remember you can't eat meat today. So I got a 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.480 few of those this morning. I know the past better 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.440 in the morning than you know once you've already sinned 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.200 and forgot. I know the past. You haven't always followed 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.800 this right, like sometimes you're just like I'm not doing this. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.160 I want meat and you just eat it. Right, That 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.200 doesn't sound accurate. I mean it might have happened. It 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.480 might have happened where accidentally eight meat meat and then afterwards, 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.800 Oh that might have been it. That might have been Floria. 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.280 Look back at you one day, like last year, when 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:54.880 you're eating meat, like, dude, you know it's Friday, right, 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.440 You're like, it's already too late at that point. So 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.160 I mean, yeah, I try try to follow the rual 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:04.120 to you. You can do is try you. I'm gonna 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.839 I'm gonna eat meat. Probably you're going to Brewery's. Man, Yeah, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.760 I'm late. You think you're gonna be there, because if 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.320 you're out late, I mean there's a chance that I 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:13.960 could meet up with you as like a night. You're 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.400 right by the way hight the l You were correct 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.160 that when you get that, man, you're not going Homely 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.560 would have just taken the train together the entire time. Yeah, 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.360 I'm trying to think. Have I ever really seen you? Yeah, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:33.200 I've seen you pretty wasted. Yeah, I'm just imagining Kenyan 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:39.200 Drake Ron Ron Ron that's me. Last year we're here 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.239 at the holiday party. We're going up against the King's 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.240 Scott Angle and in the Fantasy playoffs, and it was 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.200 we have our co managed team, myself, Greg and Michael 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.120 Florio when he's still around now he's still alive, but 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.239 we have Kenyan Drake and we're going up against Jarvis 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.800 Landry and it's a real, real close matchup. And Greg 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.760 just comes back from like ordering shots. I think I 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.560 think I was coming from the bathroom, but that's fine. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.800 Was coming with the back turning because I was coming 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.840 down this one. You can see Kenyan Drake run and 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:09.720 you start running towards that. That was sick. It was funny. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.760 I was pretty waste because it made everyone take the 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.640 healer shots because what I like to do. Yeah, you're 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:20.040 part of the reason why tequila is probably my Yeah, 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.200 it's great because tastes good. I went on like a 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:26.240 five year hiatus of not tequila. Greg, he probably regretted that, no, 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.120 because I had some I mean my teen years, like 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.280 I mean my twenty one year old years, um, a 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.560 lot of bad times with tequila. So I need the 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.560 hiatus for sure. But now I'm back and it's cool. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.640 I have a much tequila in my house. What is 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.200 your favorite tequila? I feel like we've talked about I'm easy, 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.520 so basic. You this delicious tequila. I like daileone. I'm 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.720 telling you you gotta get this. It's uh, it's get 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.160 the silver one too. It's just a square bottle with, 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.600 for lack of a better term, a big D on it. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.520 That's really what it is. You can let's let's bring 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.320 it over here. No wrong, wrong way, here we go. 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.720 That's basically it. It's just a square bottle. They're not 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.600 paying me to do this. Um. Also, the cap is 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:19.120 really cool too. It's like this big silver ball, great sequila. Right, 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.000 should we talk us? Well, guys, probably, I'm ready, Greg, 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.920 you're ready. So we were officially under a week away. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:27.400 Now that's kind of cool for our g d D 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.080 draft still need to hang out and kind of plan 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:36.480 this out, and we have to do an auction episode. Yea. 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.160 Our man, our guy Constantine has a He've been asking 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.680 me about auction as well. Think talk some auction strategy. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.079 I'm sure a lot of people do. I think we'll 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:50.520 probably do the auction show on Monday. This Monday, didn't 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.160 We want to try and get ian Con on the 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.480 only day I can possibly be here before our Also 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.720 said he don't want to reveal his auction strategy. Oh yeah, right, 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.000 but what if he's not here, he is here, that 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.720 we'll do that. We'll do it, will make him if 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.319 he's not here, we can't make ian Con do anything. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.679 I mean, he's General George Washington. He's not gonna listen 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:12.719 to us. In fact, he will just command us to 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.679 do something else and then we will follow him. We 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.839 have no choice. We'll do that before the auction or 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:25.240 after our auction, before right auction draft strategy. It doesn't 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.760 matter to me. And I think sooner rather than later, 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.880 just because people might have auctions coming up. Yeah, I 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.240 mean we have we have drafts, have a lot of 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.920 drafts coming up, a lot going on, I mean a 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.160 lot of people, do we know? Was like a lot 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.560 of programming us to talk about too for LEAs. All right, 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.240 So Thursday we have our our G D D auction 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:46.120 which is live in person at Anne the House of 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.880 Bruis next Thursday night.

Because we 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.920 didn't know him last year, truly met him, like we 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.360 didn't know him. I was very I was.

Okay, Greg, I 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.160 can't imagine you punching anyone in the face. Yea, I 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.200 just can't imagine.

I'm a lover, 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.520 not a fighter. I like to consider myself a lover 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.120 as well. There close to fight it. But what happens 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.520 when you're drunk? I mean you know how, and I'm drunk. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.920 I break people up fighting. I've never ever had an 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.959 urge to find anybody in my life. Ever. Sometimes I 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.760 get beer muscles. I never did. That's for stupid, but 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.920 only over the right things. I'm still like a logical, 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.400 rational person. That's probably not true. I am. That's why 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.280 people like me. I'm always a rational person. But I 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.240 get very I get very defensive, like if someone's like 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.160 picking on my friends or like obviously kno or something, 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.480 I'll be very quick trigger kind of thing. Really, yeah, 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:33.120 Florida always with a quick trigger. Definitely, definitely. He goes 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.800 from zero a hundred, very old. Yeah you saw mild 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.439 matter normally. Yeah, no, it comes out when he drinks, 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:45.360 for sure. M sorry, I not that. What else are 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:49.520 we talking about? What's what's our next? And then I 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.640 have the main event on Saturday. Great, I'll be there. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.319 I'll be there supporting you. When I find out my 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.760 draft pick, I don't know. Then we'll start mapping out 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.840 my strategy a little bit. So programs that we're gonna 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.520 both be at the NFBC next Friday. I don't know, 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.600 like what that does our show, but we'll be there 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.319 next Friday So NFBC on Friday will be at the 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:15.840 Stewart Hotel and broadcasting covering they're doing auctions at that time, right, 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.040 so you'll get be able to listen then as well 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.560 find out what's going on in these high stakes auctions. 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.959 We'll give you our thoughts on. Obviously the prices of 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.520 players are construction of teams that are within the auction 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.520 there that would be really fun. I'm looking forward to 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.400 that great. Yes, I mean that'll be a great done. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.920 How long are these How long are these things? I 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.520 mean as long as you'd imagine the auctions, especially cover 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.280 the whole thing. Probably I would imagine we don't cover 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.360 the whole thing because then that's like a four or 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.959 five hour affair. Yeah, it seems long, but I should 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.760 talk about mean especially early on. Yeah, which players are 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.640 getting thrown? Yeah, you know, I'm very sad for that 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.199 six hour auctions. That seems that seems long. Yeah, that 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.319 seems too long. We'll have to get on that. And 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.480 the main event obviously on Saturday, not on auction. That's 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.880 a thanks draft, which is a little bit shorter. Um, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.600 nobody three snake drafts going on, right, I'm only get 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:08.559 pay attention to yours. Thanks man, be honest with Thursday ESPN. 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.760 ESPN will be in our studio. I don't know what 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:15.400 our plan for the show is. We'll figure an next Thursday, Okay, 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.360 I talked about that. And then we have I have 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.800 a g S T draft Tuesday the nineteen, and my 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.880 Holy draft TUSA ninety. Big night for you, Big night 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.600 for me. So you're not really going to help us 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.800 at all during the TST draft? Seems well, I can 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.040 because I'm on the end the first picks, I should 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.480 be able to be involved in him. We should probably 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.640 send them money to NUS. The Flora was gonna do that. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.400 I talked to him. Oh actually, okay, I actually think 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:37.679 I just kept telling him to do it. No, no, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:39.840 he says, I'll do it tomorrow at work. I'm gonna 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.760 mind it right now. Okay, So I'll send him some money, 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.959 and you send them money to Ronus. I will then, 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:54.920 will you? Now I will as well? Frank here you go? Cool? Um, yes, alright, alright, 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.839 go start? Who's your first one? Just right? Like this 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.000 is a guy who is what thirty eight years old? 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.400 You were take that? That's seems too old. That's not right. Now, 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.959 he's not that old. He's not. That's yeah, he's probably 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.960 thirty five, thirty six, just thirty six having a birthday. 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.439 Um So Justin burn Lander was a guy and the 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:19.080 narrative goes, and rightfully so, the narrative goes that you 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:20.960 want to be a year earlier than a year late. 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.240 We have said that repeatedly on this show and pointed 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.600 out guys like a Corey Klueber for instance, that you 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.560 want to make sure you're there. But as we said 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.680 in our Starting Pitching preview, you look for signs of decline. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.320 You look for something being different, something going wrong. When 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:40.280 you look at Justin Verlander and you see last year 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.920 that he struck out two d and ninety batters, more 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.680 than he has in any season of his career ever, 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.840 you're like, Okay, well, maybe this isn't the guy that 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.080 I'm just giving up on. Maybe this isn't the guy 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.200 that I need to be a year early on, because 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.600 I know that he You thought you saw signs of 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.280 decline in his last few years in Texas. You can 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.560 make a case that last season was the best season 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.080 of Justin Verlander's career. He's the guy who's want to 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.120 stay young. Now his two thousand eleven was better because 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.040 he was twenty four and five a two forty year 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:19.280 eight that was probably better strikeouts, But like that year 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:23.960 and the last year pretty damn similar and close. That's 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.440 how good he was. And are you really gonna throw 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.640 all of that away because of his age. I don't 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.320 think that's fair. I was agist admittedly coming in the 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:38.040 draft prep season, Chris Ventra, Frank Stafell. They brought me back. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.440 I mean, ne Verlander. If I think everyone should Greg 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.720 if I told you there was only one other starting 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.680 pitcher outside of Max Scherzer, that would be a lot 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.120 to give you two pitched. That's a great point. Also, 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.200 it's justin Verlin. It's justin Verlinder, and he's doing it 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:56.120 at you know, twelve case per nine sou per nine 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.800 innings pitch so and he has better, better command than 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.920 ever before. I've in saying this about the Astros. I'm 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.200 not gonna go into whether or not, Okay, they have substances. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.360 I'm not gonna do the Trevor Battle thing. But everything 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:11.359 that Houston Astro touch turns to gold. This guy legitimately 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.360 just had a career year. I mean, the twelve point 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.800 two case per nine. For Justin Verland, who has been 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.320 a great picture in the past, has one a cy 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.120 Young was the highest of his career in his age 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.080 thirty five season is one point five six walks per nine, 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.840 the best of his career. Even if you want to 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.720 point to the peripherals, right, he was a two point 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.440 five to ear a, a three point zero three exit. 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.400 Even if he pitches to a three e r A 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.120 and goes two any pitch at nearly twelve case per nine, 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.800 he's gonna give you two thirty plus strikeouts this year. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:43.720 I mean he had a career high swinging strike rate, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.360 he had a career high first pitch strike grade. It's 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:51.160 like he's getting better with age. Greg Justin Verlander a 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.560 fine wine. One might say. Look, if if we saw 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.840 a velocity declining or swinging strike grade coming down, or 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.680 you know, him losing command or no control within the 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.840 strike zone and giving up home runs more than ever before, 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.200 I would be worried. Do you have none of those things? 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.360 He actually got better last year. I'm not worried about 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.360 Land all right. When we come back some the other 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.720 old guys may not be as obvious as the Justin Verlander. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.719 We'll bring it down when we come back.

Yeah, I feel like Florio never 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.280 did it, so I said, he said paid next year. 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:23.600 I'm not it. It's like, oh, yeah, I guess that 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.600 was on me. Yeah, a little a little cycle here, Greg, 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.400 that's okay, I'm okay with that. I actually this during 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:30.000 the break. I want to get your thoughts in the 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:35.560 chat as well. People watching home listening. You could buy 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:37.600 any sports jersey right now, Greg, who would you buy? 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.720 It's probably I can't buy. I guess say Kwan Barkley 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.639 makes sense for me, like Barkley comes to mind boring answer, 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.320 But I know, you know what does Atlantic Collins at 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:50.959 one point, so that that working out poorly. I got 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.040 the land in Collins, Jersey for his birthday last year. 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:55.240 It sucks. That sucks. I told him I'd get a 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:59.200 land in Collins Cowboys Jersey for him. I could choose one. 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:06.399 Jersey's gonna skip over that completely ignoring that. Um, I 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.280 guess I would go Barkley. My answers are so bad. 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:13.840 I'm sorry. I apologize. But Barkley or Judge man Ventro 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:15.520 was downstairs and he said, you know what you need 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:17.359 because I told him I ordered the Bryce Harper jersey, 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.400 the blue one, the blue Phillies jersey and the only 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.520 one in my teams. Like I didn't even think outside 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.560 of the teams. No, I mean, that's kind of who 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:26.840 you are. Greg. It's fine, you're home or at your heart. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:28.920 It's cool, but it's jersey. W don't wear a jersey 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.320 or other than team. It's like, I don't really want 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.800
