This is Leading 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.240 Off Live, brought to you by Price Pick. Sign up 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.040 for Price Picks today with the promote code leading Off. 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:14.880 When you do, it's me Joey P Joe, He's a 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.919 P and no, that's not the Wealth. So I just 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.720 want everybody to know that, of course, is the wonky 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.119 Penguin joining us today, Kelly Kirby. So it's great that 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.720 Kelly jumped in last minute. It's actually such an incredible 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.080 team player. Look at you. What's it like to get 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.680 called up to the big leagues and you know, having 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:31.080 no idea that it's going to happen. 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.200 It's kind of surprising. I called my parents. I told 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.320 them that, like I got called up, I get to 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.480 talk to Joe. It's just taken off. 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.040 So I know it's going in the opposite direction for you. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.360 I wish you know. I'm sad that you know, you 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:47.800 had to talk to me for a half hour, but 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:49.519 I'm grateful that you're here. We've got a lot of 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.720 baseball to get to and we're gonna get it all 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.800 down for you. Let's start with it. Seems like the 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.120 rumors are buildings some cryptic Instagram posts, which is how 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.320 everything happens nowadays. You know who's following who and stops 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.800 following this person who tweets something. But it seems like 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.280 Ellie Dela Cruz might be getting his call up as well, 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.039 not just Kelly Kirby this week, sooner than later. Now, 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.360 this is very exciting. Cruise has been absolutely spectacular in 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.440 Triple A. We were hoping he would get the call 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.440 and then it was Matt mcclan. We've been waiting and waiting, Kelly. 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.600 Do you think there's any fire where this smoke is 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.959 when it comes to Dela Cruz? And should everyone be 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.440 adding him because he's still available in more than half 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:27.280 a league's right now? 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.959 Well, having watched my cubs get swept by them over 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.560 the weekend, I'm not sure if they need more firepower, 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.880 but it would make sense for them to call him up. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.040 I mean, what do they have to lose? And yeah, 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:39.880 I think you should go get him. I mean Twitter's 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:44.200 never wrong, but never ever, but usually when things start 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.800 kind of talking like this, I feel like there's something 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.160 to it when it comes to prospects. So I'd pick 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:49.880 him up somewhere. 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.160 Yeah, I would too. It certainly seems like it's moving 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.400 that direction. But you know, if you're obviously you know, 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.320 if you're listening to the show, you probably added him already. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.480 You're one of those forty percent of people already have him. 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.600 A good weekend for Aaron Judge, and yesterday as well 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.240 a Memorial Day on not one but two homers. So 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.960 Aaron Judge continues to be Aaron Judge. Corey Segert two 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:09.880 for five with a three run blast, so good days 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.440 for him. But Kelly, it seems like the last couple 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.679 of days dominated by the rookies. So we got to 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.760 get into the rookie LOOKI because Nolan Jones got called up. Now, 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.720 Olan Jones was a player that you know I've been 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.679 talking about too that really has nothing left to prove 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.840 a triple A. Of course, then they sat him af 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.280 they're playing him a couple days and I don't know 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.679 what the hell they're doing there, but he was slashing 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.200 three point fifty six, four eighty one, seven eleven with 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.240 twelve homers five steals. I know it's the PCL, but 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.240 when you look at this Rockies lineup, Kelly, it stinks. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:38.920 Let's be honest. I mean, it has not been a 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.640 good lineup all year. So in your opinion, do you 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.839 think Nolan Jones is worth picking up because they really 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.480 got nothing to lose by starting this kid every day? 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.160 Yeah, I mean I think that it would make sense 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.760 to pick him up and give him a shot because rich, 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:55.360 like you said, I mean, I don't know how much 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.480 he's going to help with everybody around him, but he 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.360 on his own, I mean, he might be worth it 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:01.200 if you need somebody. 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:03.960 Yeah, what do you think of Bobby Miller to another 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.119 great performance by him? He's got a one six' four 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.600 era now a point nine to one. Whip he's got 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.120 nine k's two walks in his first eleven. Innings so, 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.760 look it's you, know we're kind of looking At Bobby. Miller. 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.160 Now everyone was talking About stone And Gavin stone for The, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.600 dodgers but it seems Like Bobby miller has been the 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.079 guy so far that is kind of at least solidified 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.640 a little bit of DARE i say job, security because 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.959 it just feels like Between uri is working his way 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.720 back and the back end of This dodger rotation that 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.640 we've always been harping about all year and warning people about. 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.000 That Maybe Bobby miller might be the. ANSWER i guess 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.800 the question is do you think he's the long term 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.240 answer or just a short term, Answer because The dodgers 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.360 have bigger aspirations For september and Obviously. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.200 OCTOBER i think he might be a long term option for. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:50.880 Them and like you, said the back end of the 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.720 rotation's been so messed up and, weird and Really i'm 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:59.680 not a an earious, person so me NEEDED i mean at. 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.200 All i'm regarding a little bit THAT i picked up 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:03.880 WHEN i had the choice Between miller And stone THAT 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.240 i Grabbed. Stone But i'll get over. IT i, think. 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.840 Will, you is there like a support group for? 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.400 That Or mike can start one if anybody. WOULD i, 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.960 MEAN i think there should be pitching support groups everywhere right, 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:16.600 now so. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.760 That's probably a good. Idea, YES i ACTUALLY i SUPPORT 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.400 i support that support. Group SO i don't know if 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.640 there's a support group to support that support, group but 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.200 we'll figure that. Out, Also Royce, lewis who we were 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.360 speculating last, week who actually made the waiver wire video last. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.440 Week so if you haven't already subscribed To Fancy BROS 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.520 mlb on the YouTube, SIDE i don't, know you know 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.800 what else you know you're doing with your. Time but 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.640 we talked About Royce lewis when that was going to 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.760 be up in terms of his il stint obligation that he. Had, 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.479 well now it's, up and now so is He you 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.080 also HAD i think it Was Max kepler go on 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.080 THE il. There and this is the thing where you're 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.359 looking at The. Twins twins are at the top in 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.760 terms of pitching In Major League baseball and in all 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.320 those categories you coul possibly Imagine Era whip all that. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:03.520 Stuff they're down towards the bottom in terms of offense 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.360 and they've got to figure something out because they've just 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.240 got too much swing and miss for. Them SO i 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.560 guess the question Is royce lewis exceptional, athlete a guy 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.400 that can play different positions for, you could play the, 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.760 infield can play the. Outfield do you Think Royce lewis 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.520 is now everyday player From minnesota rest of season or 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.520 do you think he is just part of a rotation 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:22.359 potentially with The. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.279 Twins, WELL i didn't understand why they were like fighting 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.520 the news that when they Sent miranda, DOWN i thought 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.120 for sure they were GONNA i Figured lewis was going 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.200 to play third, so and they were, like, no, no 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.800 he's shortstopp he. Shortstop but then he comes up and plays. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.160 Third SO i think that he could be a long 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.040 term part as long as he. DOESN'T i don't think 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.280 his glove's going to cost him anything at. THIRD i 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:49.240 also wouldn't be surprised maybe later If korea and he switched. Places, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:54.200 Yeah korea could be become a poor Man's Alex, rodriguez 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.680 a very poor man's. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.760 The poorest of the, poor you know. It Carls core 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.600 is definitely one of those guys, that you, know WHEN 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.680 i first saw him when he was eighteen years, old 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.119 when he got, DRAFTED i felt, Like, okay this guy's 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.839 going to be a franchise. Player and maybe it, is you, 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.919 know as he got. Older you, know sometimes people, don't you, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.360 know grow into the bodies the way we think they're going. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.839 To you, know sometimes injuries do take their. Toll and 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.840 it seems Like correy is, just you, know one of 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.400 those guys is destined to never live up to what 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.640 he could have, been which is sad for, him but 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.799 only to a degree because he's making millions of. Dollars 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.520 So i'm not that sad like. THAT i don't need a 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.440 support group for. THAT Todz bradley was charged with one 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.839 run and no earned by the way in five and 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.919 two thirds yesterday against The, Cubs so so, far looking 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.440 at the bigger, PICTURE i know everyone was worried ABOUT. Todj, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.520 Bradley but three six ZERO era one point zero seven 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.080 whip forty two strikeouts to five walks over thirty, Innings 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.840 now that's WHAT i want to talk about here when 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.400 it comes TO. Todj, bradley because everybody was, hyperventilating going 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.760 crazy when we got to the point where you, know 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.520 he gets sent back down and that's very, frustrating and 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.720 then you get an opportunity where he looks terrible down 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.160 in TRIPLE a for a couple, starts and it comes 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:05.600 back and he kind of looks like the same. Guy 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.280 so what's your temperature ON Taj? BRADLEY i, mean because 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.960 the kdo walk ratio is something that we all would 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.400 be striving, for and he looks great in that. Regard 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.640 The ras are still at the top of The American, 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.120 League so are you getting comfortable now with throwing him out, 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.400 there not just, matchups but actually throwing him out there 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.760 on a regular basis as a starting. Pitcher, OH i 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:26.040 think for. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.760 SURE i, Mean i'm. SURPRISED i think there should be 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.120 an adjusted era when you play The, cubs like you, know, 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.200 yep so your era is non negative. Something but with 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.679 him being, CONSISTENT i don't really care what happened in TRIPLE. 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.000 A i feel like that was just kind of the 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.960 bounce rule and maybe he was trying to figure out 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.120 like maybe he really was stressed about going from a 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.200 six day to five. Day he, Wasn't but, yeah when 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.080 he came back, UP i THINK i would start him 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.160 against anybody at this. Point and you, know he's going 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.320 to get the run support most of the, time and 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.320 so he could definitely have some win equity as. 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.000 Well All, right let's continue on. Here I'll logan out 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.040 another rookie looking to talk about career high ten strikeouts 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.680 over seven shoutout innings On, monday another terrific performance for. 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.080 Him he's got AN era of two seven to, two 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.560 the whip is at one three to, one four to 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.240 ONE k walk, ratio forty three strikeouts pardon, me in 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.640 thirty nine and two thirds. Innings so the Between bobby pitching, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.720 Well Logan allen pitching Well this is another thing WHERE 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.160 i think you're frustrated if you Are. Cleveland maybe you're 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.560 frustrated if you just play in the Al Central because 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.480 The twins kid pitch and can't. Hit The guardians seem 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.880 like they're starting to pitch, better they can't. Hit they've been. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.960 Terrible SO i don't know what are your thoughts here 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.640 when it comes to what to do with The Cleveland, 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.800 guardians because collectively this seems like we're all just looking 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.040 around each other trying to figure it. Out what's going, 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.360 on what's? Happening is it time to invest because they've 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.679 been so bad, Offensively Like Josier maier has been, okay 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.240 but nobody else has done anything around. Him so where 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:53.480 are you at with The guardians right? 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:53.679 Now? 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.040 Overall when it comes to, fancy, WELL i Have Josh. 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.959 NAYLOR i kind of went after him because his expected 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.400 stats still say that he's got a lot of potential 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:03.920 and that he should be doing better than what he. 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.679 Is BUT i was looking AT dfs yesterday AND i 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.440 couldn't come up WITH i, mean there's no one else 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.520 in that lineup That i'm really looking at at getting 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:18.000 on my. TEAMS i Mean rosario And kwan maybe in strikeout, 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.680 leagues but otherwise It's ramirez and Then naylors you're a little. 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.440 Desperate but the, pitchers the, PITCHERS i think. THAT i mean, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.840 AGAIN i wouldn't have any trouble even with the balance. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.120 SCHEDULE i think anybody who gets to play The Ale 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.320 central teams, ever is worth streaming. Against so. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.080 WELL i just did a big segment On sunday On 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.559 Sports cared about you know where the teams are collectively right, 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.360 Now like the teams that you know in terms that 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.720 are crushing it, offensively crushing with, pitching and the teams 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.360 that are surprisingly bad. Offensively The cleveland was one of 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.720 those surprisingly bad. Teams The astros another one of those 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.320 surprisingly bad offensive. Teams AND i don't want to blame 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.760 all of it On Jose, brau, who by the, way 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.120 has a negative. WAR i just saw. That did you 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.440 know THAT i. DID i just saw that right before 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.480 we came. ON i you, know this is why social 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.160 media is still, around because you get little things like. 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.319 THIS i think he's at minus, one is what it, 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.760 said AND i just, thought, man that's. Suppressing how can that? 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.120 Be how can we be a negative war when it 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.440 comes To jose And bray. You but let's get to 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.120 the injuries. Here Harrison bader undergoing THE mri on the, 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.400 hamstring so we'll see what comes of. That Max munsey 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.760 is expected to return to The dodger. LINEUP i think 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.720 he pulled that hamstring doing victory lapse on me after 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:29.520 me kind of giving him a crap for the first 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.120 two weeks of the season being. Awful but you know 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.480 he'll heal. UP i, won't but he. Will braves are 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.920 Called Mike. Soroka are you Adding? Soroka is this an 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.640 ad for? YOU i know he pitches for The. Braves 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.320 it's not a big strikeout. Artist is he like a 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:44.880 hard pass for? You what do you think. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.960 He's a hard pass for? Me And i'm Really i'm 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.520 so excited THAT i get to be here with you 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:54.440 on the day After Paul blackburn, debuted SO i thought 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.920 The Soroka blackburn matchup was, like that's the Worst joey 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.280 p matchup in the. History AND i don't WANT i 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:02.000 don't want either of. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.120 THEM i didn't even, see you, know because YESTERDAY i, 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.560 was you, know a first. Day finally we could swim 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.400 in the pool with the. Kids friday us The sunday 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.079 night Was Taylor swift, concert so you, Know monday was 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.320 kind of the hangover day From Taylor. Swift you, KNOW 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.000 i was singing about my, feelings you, know for three 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.920 and a half, hours WHICH i gotta tell. You she was. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.760 Great it was a great.

Terrific but my, kids, obviously my daughter's just you, 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.840 know fantastic evening is, beautiful, magical all that. Stuff but 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.320 there was a girl behind us WHO i think is 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:40.240 probably somewhere sixteen seventeen years, old maybe eighteen, NINETEEN i don't, 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.240 know she's somewhere in that. Range and she was having 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.679 a lot of. Feelings during the. Show she was, screaming 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.800 AND i mean at the top of her lungs, intensely 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.320 almost as if it were like A metallica concert or 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.760 or like A Judas priest. Concert but she was doing 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.760 it in, ballads which was really confusing to, Me like 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.200 ballads that were more like tender Has gotta, thing and 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.880 she's screaming me like AND i as loud as she. 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.840 Can it was. Weird it was, fun have you been 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:08.600 to the tailor swift? 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.040 Ever, NO i have, Not BUT i do consider myself 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.280 a swifty for the most, part a little too. OLD 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:16.920 i didn't like hit that, middle you. 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.719 KNOW i was, like you're never too old to be a. 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.320 SWIFTY i. DON'T i don't Think i'm not too. Old 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.199 you're certainly Not kelly, right. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.319 And but that's my. Thing like her stuff is. Universal 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.040 who hasn't felt what she? Felt and if you don't feel, 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.640 it just go to a concert and listen to the 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.840 sixteen year old bind you scream sad. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:36.040 Songs it's screamed bad ballads as though it were like death. 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.160 Metal like the intensity level was was ALMOST i was 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:43.120 a little. Afraid security was. Close that was, good but 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.839 a magical night was had by. ALL i will tell 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.240 you THAT i like The folcalore. Album that's my. Jam but, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.520 Anyway Liam hendrix is, back so that's good. News Cedric 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.720 mullins is. Not he's gonna undergo further testing after being removed. 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.880 Yesterday he's got a groin. Strain those are always, tricky 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.559 so expect him to go in the. EYE i expect 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.840 him to miss a fair amount of. Time we're, talking you, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.600 know weeks two, MONTHS i would imagine when it comes 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.800 to the groin string And mullens is kind of another 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.760 frustrating dude because he WAS i think one of these 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.720 recent bilows and a lot of people just made trades 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.760 for and that's always the, worst, Right like you see 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.720 a guy underperforming that you like the, player you, go 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:18.920 you make the trade for the, player and then the 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.480 player gets. Hurt so this is a real kick in 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.640 the pants. There on that. One Lars nootbar was removed 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:27.120 From monday's game with back. Spasms that's probably Why welsh 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.719 isn't here today because you know he's running to give 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.160 a massage To Lars. Nutbar welsh, is, okay, everybody we 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.160 just had a technical hiccup here. Today just. Joking Pete, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.120 fairbanks this is an interesting. One back to the il 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.719 with the hip inflammation and a couple of weeks, Ago 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.640 kelly on The Waiver wire, VIDEO i was talking, about you, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.960 know you Add adam because you, know just in Case 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.360 fairbanks doesn't come back healthy or whatever that. Is and 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.640 then he came back pretty, quickly AND i was, like, okay, 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.280 well you, know maybe it's all, Right but it turns 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.600 out that actually seems like good. Advice so are you 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.480 going to right back to the wavewire there when it 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.560 comes to another absence For. Fairbanks first of. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.920 All i'm happy that you sound surprised that you gave good, 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.439 advice but. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.760 TYPICALLY i mean that's usually the. 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.800 Case, YEAH i MEAN i would definitely go out and 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.320 get at him. Again this is a team that wins a, 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.640 lot and SO i think the saves will be. THERE 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.680 i trust. HIM i am also Picturing welsh listening To 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.200 Sad Taylor swift looking at pictures Of Lars snoop bar right. 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.400 Now so, Yeah i'm a little, distracted BUT i THINK 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.000 i Think adam is definitely worth the pick. Up. 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.359 Yeah. Probably by the, Way i'm looking At Paul blackburn's 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.240 line for me, yesterday six, strikeouts four, innings just saying, 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.080 Yeah blackburn was such a funny thing last, year because 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.920 it's not THAT i Liked Paul. Blackburn all THAT i 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.680 said was until it goes, bus just keep rolling them out. 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.880 There and it wasn't like two stars or, four so 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.160 it was like twelve by the time we got to 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.760 the Bad Paul blackburn and eventually got figured. Out. Whatever 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.440 But Mike mayer will never let me live that, down 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.280 but sometimes you just gotta go with the. Flow lance, 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.480 mccullors he has no. Flow he is no longer throwing 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.320 off a, mount so it's over. Right you could drop him, Everywhere, 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:06.520 LIKE i don't think you're going to see him this, 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:06.800 year do. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.080 YOU i didn't real understand why anyone drafted him in 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.520 the first, place so good, point SO i think, that, 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.960 yeah you just drop him at this. Point all. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.440 Right, Now luckily for, YOU i have NO ai machine 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.920 things because it was a long, weekend so no CREEPY 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.800 ai stuff. Today we'll do that another. Time but we 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:24.560 do have the three up and three. Downs So Julio 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.680 Rodriguez homer drove in three. Runs let's. Go this will 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.200 be the second half Of. Julio we we have fifty quiet. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.040 Games we're gonna have one hundred loud games From Julio. 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.200 Rodriguez there you. Go i'm not giving up on my. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.840 Guy Griffin canning another guy who's starting to figure it out. 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.000 Again if there are kind of some shaky outings there 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.480 last two much better nine strikeouts and six innings for 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.880 him And Marcus. Stroman maybe you're the right person to 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.320 talk about this BECAUSE i can't figure out why two 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:53.240 five nine era a whip under. One he's got sixty two, 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.560 k's twenty four walks and seventy three innings in his 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.600 first twelve, starts and this one was you, know gets 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.800 the pop here and then against the rays coming Sorry 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.480 padres coming, up just against the. Rays what do you 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.080 make of This Marcus stroman. Renaissance what's he done differently 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:12.160 where he's become such a steady presence Because stroman historically 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.040 has always been, that you, know two good, starts two bad, 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:16.400 starts one in between kind of. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.960 Guy, Yeah i've been shocked to watch him, pitch but, 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.640 TRULY i, MEAN i you, KNOW i kind of thought 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.040 of him more as an innings eater and that he 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.240 wasn't going to necessarily hurt. You but you, couldn't, really 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.440 like you, said you couldn't really count on like him 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:33.280 being a steady. Presence and he's just he's mixing in 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.720 the pitches that just they can't seem to hit. It 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.280 it's Like i'm Not i'm, not, well shall hang with, 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.240 me but BUT i feel like. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.240 He started making really bad like mixed. Metaphors then you, 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.400 know then we'll be the real judge of. 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.000 That i'll come up with a. Couple but, yeah AND 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.040 i think with BARN i Think barnhardt has been catching, 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:53.400 him AND i feel like the two of them just 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.280 have this system and it's just working. Perfectly so really 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.160 the absence Of Wilson contraras is the answer to. This but, 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.160 overall he just he. Does he seems like he's mixing 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.399 pitches and also he's he's got that swagger that he, 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.600 has but it's lasted a lot longer than like the 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.680 first two starts In april that he Usually. 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.720 Yeah he is a very emotional guy in the. MOUND 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.040 i mean watching him even back in The toronto days he, 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.720 was but his met days, especially he's very emotional, guy 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:23.439 WHICH i, think like those guys always worry me just 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:27.320 a little bit intensity good, EMOTIONAL i think is is 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.800 a little bit more. Cautionary that's the one to me 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:31.720 THAT i always watched with the pictures because you don't 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:33.200 want them to get too high or too. Low in those. 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.920 Things intensity is, great you, know make sures are very. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.440 Intense you, know Justin, verlin they're very intense. Guys strollman 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.960 sometimes would let THE i think the emotions get the 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.600 best of. Him but whatever is going. On you're absolutely. 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.879 Right and, now of, Course Wilson contreras brought all of 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.439 his catching problems with him To Saint, louis Which i'm 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.600 sure made you very. Happy three, Down Joey, gallo stop 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.440 me if you heard this one, before over five with three, 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.200 K's Louis robert over four with three, k's And Bryce 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.919 miller finally.
