Joining me today is the Wonky Penguin. 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:46.040 Kelly Kirby Kelly, Are you certified in grief therapy? 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:47.000 Is my question? 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.360 I actually am, so I'm ready to lead you through this. 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.920 Are you actually yes? 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:53.479 I actually I am? 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.160 But okay, it was. 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.440 Like real like it, like you've actually found it. It 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.120 sounded like very certain about that, and I wanted to 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.080 make sure you really are. Why are we trying to 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.959 find out about grief therapy? Well, yes, we're going to 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.120 talk about lots of stuff and things. There might be 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.000 many that they're gonna need some grief therapy after Minoa Day, 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.760 which we'll get to, but we are going to start the. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:18.559 Show off with really the most devastating news for this show. 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.080 Let's be honest, it is the most devastating news for 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:25.160 this show as a whole, for everybody here collectively, Corby 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:29.640 and Carroll last night with a wide swing, because he 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.440 does have a very far back, looped one handed swing 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.480 on the follow through. It's very aggressive, it's crazy batspeed. 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:37.920 It's how he generates a lot of the power. 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:39.360 Went back. 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.200 The arm just kind of went, you know, it didn't pop, 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.679 but it had like a natural popping motion going forward, 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:49.320 and he immediately curled over, grabbed the arm and had 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.280 to be sent out. I looked at that thing and 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.280 I went, all right, it's football season. 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.560 Like, what am I supposed to do here? I don't 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.680 know what I'm supposed to do, though. 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.560 Kelly, there were encouraging things from Tory Leavello after that. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:07.320 Apparently structurally everything was okay. That he walked out and 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.760 hung out in the dugout after and they're performing an 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.880 MRI probably as we are doing this show, I fully 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.240 expect someone to break something in here. But Kelly, as 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.119 the sign says behind me, I'm a little dead inside. 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.679 Give me good news, give me something. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.320 Give you something. Well, the something is this. It's his shoulder. 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.120 So I'm still thinking that maybe he could Pincherron and 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:29.920 steal all the bases I was counting on him for. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:35.160 But yeah, I otherwise, I don't have much until the 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.680 MRI comes back. I think that I'm hoping. My biggest 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.239 problem is it's the same shoulder that he had the 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.040 issue with before, and so that makes me a little 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.080 bit more nervous than anything else. But that could also 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.720 mean he was more like freaked out about it, you 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.120 know what I mean, like if you're used to that 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.680 being painful, but these are That's all I've got for you, wilsh. 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:55.920 Well, Okay, that didn't really make me feel better. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.720 What't long as I'm doing my job, we're gonna we're 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:00.400 gonna work on the. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.120 Grief counting a little bit more here, we'll work through it. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.799 As you said, he had a torn labrum a couple 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.359 of years ago. You are right about one thing. He's 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.360 super in tuned to that shoulder because what happened, like 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.040 whatever it was like a week ago, was he just 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.520 felt something weird and he immediately. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.960 Took himself out. So he is very very aware of 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:18.720 what's going on. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.320 This did not look like that, and we're just going 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.440 to have to wait through. Maybe a best case scenario 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.359 is this is he's gonna, unfortunately have to probably miss 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.640 the All Star Game. This is his hometown, He's probably 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.480 not gonna play. Maybe it's a short iel stint. The 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.680 worst case scenario is we've lost him for the year 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.520 and I will blame Joe for everything. This is actually 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.200 Joe's fault. By the way, every show like, oh we 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.560 told you, no, Corby K, we told you, and then 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.360 he leaves. He leaves the show for one, it took 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:51.760 a vacation. 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:56.880 Everybody, he leaves the show and everything is falling apart. 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.080 Yes, this is true, and he left us for a 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.920 wrestling which is fine but right, but you know, I'm like, 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.680 we have a tourn to where we have a shoulder 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.480 situation over here. I don't know what you're gonna see 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.080 to night, but yes, this is entirely his fault. The 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.960 victory lapse. I think we were all taking about Carol 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.640 you most of all. It was like, this is great, 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.200 and we made it to the All Star I thought 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.040 we made it to the All Star break. I was like, wow, 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.520 he's really stellar, and then boom, and of course in 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.279 our other chat, the only thing Joe could say was 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.480 that he wished he'd hedged with Ellie likesive. 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.760 It is what I woke up to today. I woke 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.280 I was gonna pull it up here, but I'm not sure. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:37.520 I don't want to share the full chat. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.520 I literally woke up to Joe not being on the 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.960 show and only saying this, I should have hedged my 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.000 bet with Ellie, and I was just like, I hope 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.320 you get supplexed tonight. I hope Joe gets supplexed and 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.960 then like a DDT or something. Let me ask you 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.760 this though. On that note, though, if let's just say 0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:01.760 the hypothetical worst happens, can Corbyn Carrol still take down 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.120 that Rookie of the Year award? 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.800 Or with the full. 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.080 Half season you know coming up, Ellie de la Cruz 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.240 Uri Perez probably the two biggest. Do you think they're 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.120 going to overtake Corbyn? I mean, can think about what 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.159 Corbyn's done the projections I looked about a week ago, 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.279 the projections rest of season projections on the bat X 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:25.479 had Ellie essentially doing what court his projections got him 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.159 to where Corbyn Carroll is now eighteen homers twenty six 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.920 twenty seven sole in bases something like that, and that's 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.280 where he would be. So if Ellie finished in relative 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.800 range of Corbyn and he's out for the year and 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.520 Uri gets kind of shut down, can Corbyn still win 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:40.960 that award? 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.600 So we got two things working against you. One, recency 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.839 bias will be a big problem. So of course it's 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.279 kind of like he's Elle'll be good on the second 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.920 halfh If Corbyn's not there at all, then pretty soon 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.120 it's going to be like, oh, well, what did Carol do? 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.960 We don't really even remember. And Two, if the Reds 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.000 continue kind of doing what they're doing and they sneak 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.000 into the playoffs, I don't think Carol's got a chance. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.360 This is another good one right here from Lee is 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:05.600 Francisco Alvarez. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.000 The only problem with Francisco. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:11.160 Alvarez he does lead to all catchers in baseball and homers, 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.480 which is crazy. But he's hitting like two twenty and 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:16.960 unless he I mean, I suppose if he hits thirty 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:18.920 five homers that will be hard to do and if 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.720 he can raise his average, but if he's two twenty, 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.240 that stuff. But you're right, if the Reds get into 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.599 the playoffs. Ellie probably runs away with that. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:26.039 I don't know. 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.800 You probably need to be positive. The Diamondbacks were trying 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:30.480 to be positive. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:31.680 We will get results here. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.800 Soon and hopefully, you know, if it's good news, hopefully 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.919 it happens in the next ten minutes. If it's bad news, 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.280 hopefully let's move their time is hopefully happens in about 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.320 twenty two minutes as soon as this show is over. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.360 Because I'm not looking to get fired from Fantasy Pros 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:46.520 today and. 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.120 I'm not looking to watch you cry. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.520 So okay, well, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.680 Speaking of crying, there might be some crying because today 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:59.560 is Monah Day. Alec Mono returns. Celebrate whichever side you celebrate. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.760 By the way, Alec Manoa coming off of a good 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.640 double a performance. He went five, he struck out ten, 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:07.640 but he walked three. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:08.719 He hit a batter. 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.120 This all happened in the first couple of innings. He's 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:17.920 going up against Detroit today and Kelly, the books are cowards. 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.520 They are terrified. They didn't want me to take a 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.240 second mortgage out responsibly. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.560 They didn't want me to go and. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.560 Find a loan shark in a shady part of Phoenix 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.200 responsibly because all I was looking to do was bet 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:37.400 two and a half over walks or anything, any single bet, 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:42.440 but his stupid strikeouts none are available. Maybe you feel different. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.160 How are you celebrating and what do you see coming 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.480 from Manoa day? 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.200 Well, first of all, I'm not starting him. I have 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.440 him and I have him in a dynasty league, so 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.520 I've had him forever there and I'm just gonna leave 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.760 him sit, mostly because I don't trust the Tigers. They 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.600 have screwed me over multiple times this year in betting, 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.560 so I'm just out. But I was thinking about today 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.320 where if they offered kind of an over four and 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.360 a half strikeouts over three and a half walks, like 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.280 little parlay, you know, a little grouping, I'm like, I'd 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.280 take it because I think he'll strike out five, no problem. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:17.600 But man, that other half. 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.960 What time does that game get down? Because now here's 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.360 something I've seen happen a lot. Yeah, what time is it? 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.360 Isn't it like six o'clock eastern or something? 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.000 Okay, So here's the possibility. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:33.920 Everyone be ready, maybe about an hour before they post something. 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:38.679 They like to do that sometimes then responsibly take your 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.120 life savings and put it against. Here's a game I 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.240 think we should play, and maybe we can track this 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.880 because someone already just did this. BUSIZI is a put 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.920 Here's his line. Five innings, four hits, four walks, four runs, 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:50.640 eight ks. 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:51.480 This is amazing. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.200 Let's drop some Manoa lines in the chat and let's 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.720 see who gets it right. So give me your Manoa 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.240 line today, because you're not starting him, no way in 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:01.520 hell I'm starting. 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.320 I don't care if he no hits the Tigers today. 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.040 I'm not gonna take any like ooh, I was wrong. 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.080 You don't start him. You don't start him at any scenario. 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.040 So give me your Manoa line today. 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:18.000 I'm gonna go with like four and a third six strikeouts. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.120 I'm still thinking four walk I mean, I think it's 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.720 just gonna be weird and ugly and he'll give up 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.720 probably three runs and leave the bases loaded. 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:31.440 Okay, I'm going I like that specific enough. That's very specific. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.319 By the way, his strikeout line on the books is 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:35.840 four and a half and I. 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.240 Don't think it's crazy juice, so five is probably on 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:39.760 it here. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:44.959 I'm gonna go with five earned runs, three and two thirds, 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.640 five k's, four walks does that work. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.080 Did we get there? I think we got there. 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.319 Here's a couple other lines here, of course, the Great 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.680 Beef curtains four and four and one fourth of an inning. 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.880 I don't think you can do that. So I'm gonna 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:00.199 p that. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.240 One's gonna walk a guy and leave before he gets 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:02.920 to first? 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:04.839 Is he gonna strike out a guy? Then the ball's 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.559 gonna drop and then he's gonna have another out? 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.200 I don't know? Is five k's, four walks, three earned runs? Okay, 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.360 what are some others? See? 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.320 Zach went three innings, pitched, forty five earned runs, four 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:17.680 h and cries on them. 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.760 All right now everyone's just being or just being really 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:20.320 mean to him. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.880 So four seems to be the magic number here, everybody's 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:28.000 fours four k's, four innings, two walks, tourn runs. Here 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:34.199 is Angelo's three innings pitched, four wins and seven earned runs. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:34.880 Oh, four walks? 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:35.120 Okay? 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:36.959 I was like, what are you guys doing today? I'm 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.760 trying to see if anybody has a positive outcome? 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:40.360 All right? 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.520 This one is, yeah, David, six innings, three walks, tour 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:44.400 and runs. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:48.520 Seven k's is the lion beat the with the three 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.360 point one four the pie of X plug is what's. 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.880 On here, and let's see. Okay, here's one more we'll do. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.480 Brandon says, seven innings, seven k's, three walks, tour and runs. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.000 There you go, Razor got some in there. So let's 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.760 try to track this. Someone not me, track this and see. 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:04.319 Who gets it right. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.520 So we can give accolades to the person that got 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.880 it right. But at the end of the day, this 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.040 would have been something I would have been comfortable stashing. 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.440 I would stash Alec Manhana have picked him up. Just 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:14.880 drop him on the bench. 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:16.040 Deal with that. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.079 No chance I'm starting him. Maybe the case will come 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.360 back up. What we need to look for is control command. 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.960 We need to see the walks are being managed and 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.400 if everything else you know, is in good sights, and 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.959 we can probably return to I don't know seventy five percent. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:33.760 Bottom line is we could. 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.040 We could get back to starting him next week, although 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.320 I don't know what the matchup, what his next matchup 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.480 would be. Have you looked I have not looked? 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:40.800 All right? 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.520 Well, someone let us know what that is. Because as 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:43.040 long as. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.600 It's not like the Rangers or the Braves or something, 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.640 I'd put him out in a mediocre lineup if he's 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.880 solid today, So yes, I think we would be pretty 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.520 good with that one. Some other notes around baseball as 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.680 we keep moving here, Gunner Henderson four for seven, two homers, 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.440 five RBIs as the Orioles put it down on the Yankees. 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:03.200 We'll talk about that. 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.880 But Gunner Henderson has insane, insane hard hit numbers. And 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.679 I don't know if you have any Gunner Henderson thoughts 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.280 rest of season. He has just been a monster. The 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.560 by window and dynasty I think is just kind of vanished, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.040 but he is one of those guys I am heavy 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.840 betting in on the second half. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.040 Yeah. I remember earlier that people were talking about dropping 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.840 him like outright like there. I was getting questions on 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.000 Discord that were like, hey, if I dropped Gunner for 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.480 fill in the blank? And I was like, I just 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.560 don't think we should do that quite yet, you know, 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.600 because I'm like, I feel like that hard hit and 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.440 everything was going to come back for a team that 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.400 was doing well, and now you know here he is. 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.559 So yeah, the window is shut. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.080 Basically, it is a shut. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.600 By the way, dude, we said two innings, six cheeseburgers, 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.199 and a small diet coke for alec Mino. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:51.760 You know, here's one two. I've seen this come up. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.120 I don't even know if I have this in the 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.600 I don't have this anywhere because we talked about this yesterday. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.800 If you were here with us, multiple people, not just 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.920 Jay has asked when is great coming up? 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.640 I need to know on this asap fast. 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.520 Just go pick him up. Go pick up Grayson right now. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.680 I assume this is going to be right after the 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.200 All Star break. I don't think there's any need for 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.720 them to bring him up today. I guess you could 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.280 bring him up maybe Sunday if you want to do 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.000 something weird with the starters. But he just pitched on 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:23.640 the fourth, so he would line up maybe the Sunday, 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.719 but more like Monday. So here's what I think they do. 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.800 I think he sticks around for one more minor league 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.320 start and then he comes back in is set in 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.640 the rotation right after the second half. So I don't 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.360 think you should wait any longer. I think you should 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.560 pick him up. That's the most That's the best advice 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:40.720 I can give you for Grayson. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.040 When will they start him? Who the hell knows on. 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.120 Anything anymore, But it will be soon and you should 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:47.560 just go get him now. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.360 And I think you agree, Kelly, Yes they do. 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:50.959 I don't think they're going to. I mean cole Irvan 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.640 might be seeing his last start today, so. 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.440 Yeah, you know what actually that might be if Cole 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:59.120 Irvin gets lit, there's something to watch for. Speaking Francisca 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.679 Aaber as we mentioned before, he went two for three 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.080 against the Diamondbacks, two run homer, three RBI. As I mentioned, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.600 I think that's three straight games with a homer and 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.080 he has the lead. He has got the lead in 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.400 for all catchers over Sean Murphy. It's very apropos with 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.240 Pete Alonzo, with pet Alnzo's style, lots of homers with 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.160 a two twenty two to thirty batting average. So there 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:22.520 you go for our boy, Francisco. Lance Lynn recorded Let's 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:27.320 get your take care because Lanceln eleven strikeouts, seven shutout 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:28.600 innings and a no decision. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.920 I was going to go way up against him. 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.320 The day before because he leads baseball are tied with 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.040 baseball in Homer's given up right now, and then all 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.240 of a sudden, lance Lynn does the weird lance Lin stuff. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.320 So are you buying what Lancelyn is selling right now? 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.680 I am like Lancelyn is the one I choked last 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.320 night where it's I think everyone's giving the most thought 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.520 time if you roster him, whether what you're supposed to 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.880 do with him at this point, I guess you start 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.800 him for a while, but you start him with the 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.320 idea like you don't start him if it's the end 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.880 of the week and your ratio is terrible or are good, 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.520 like you just leave him out. But man, if you 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.960 need strikeouts, I think he's still got that going. I 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.880 just don't know. I don't trust him in endurance wise, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.000 and they cannot get him a win to save their lives. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.000 So this is what you're getting with him. He's been 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:16.800 a mystery all year. 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:18.400 This is wild too. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.360 I think I completely forgot about that sixteen strikeout performance. 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.360 He has had seven or many. 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.040 He still took the loss, and he still. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:27.480 Took the loss. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.320 You're right, well, I mean he's given up what is 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:34.320 that eleven earned runs in his last four games, but 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.000 five of his last six have. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.240 Been at least three earned runs, and. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.240 Three of those six have been for four or more. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.520 So this last performance was a little bit more of 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.960 the anomaly than anything else. But he's a big strikeout option. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.280 Maybe there's some stuff that's kind of moving in his direction. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.280 He's got an almost two runs. It's not a run 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.680 in a half differential between his expected era and his 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:57.680 actual era. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.560 Maybe the break is going to be good and maybe 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.440 he's going to be a trade candidate. But I don't know. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:06.200 I'm not. Oh, I got it, lancelin Or Alec Manoa, 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:07.119 rest of the season. 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.640 Don't do that to me. I would, honestly, I would 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.080 do I would do Lynn, and I'd hate it. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:18.080 Lancelote. Okay, so chat Lancelynn Alec Manoa. Who would you 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.160 rather have rest the season? Post it in there? 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:21.880 I want to know this would be a pole thing. 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.280 But I don't think Mayor's around today. Attentions Okay, no, 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:26.480 he's not the attention at all. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.520 Also, Julio Urrias yielded two runs over six innings and 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.560 a win over the Pirates. He had eight strikeouts only 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:36.160 one walk. He is critical for this Dodgers team and 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.160 it's really good to see him kind of get back 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:39.560 to it. Do you think he's going to get back 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:44.080 to I don't know, top twenty sp for the for 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:44.800 the second half. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.400 Yeah, well, I mean at this point if he stays healthy. Now, 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.840 the rest of the year. Probably he I've never been 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:56.240 an earliest person, but I think that. Yeah, with starting now, 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:57.720 I think he could end up in the top twenty 0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:58.880 esp easily. 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.120 So Richard said, I'd rather have piece of Pa pitching, 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.240 and it is Lynn unanimously, by the way, or a cheeseburger. 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.679 Those are the takes I've gotten. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.160 Is Joe Pizzapia, a cheeseburger or Lance Lynn is more 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.800 comfortable than Alec Manoa so far in this chat, which 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.359 we are setting Alec Manoa up to have one of 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.639 the greatest comebacks today of all time. This might be 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.679 a must watch because the way we're talking, we are 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.000 setting this guy up to throw five innings no hit 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:28.880 and striking out like thirteen. 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.919 Oh yeah, yeah, it's going to be yes, And then 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:34.280 I don't have to come back and talk to you 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.320 after that and admit how wrong we were. It's pretty great. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.960 No, I won't come back either, yeah, especially if Carrol's injured. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:40.080 I just won't come back at all. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.320 Just done with it all. 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.080 The rookie lookie is a little bit interesting. One quick 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:46.760 piece here. This isn't a rookie, but he did this 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.800 in the miners. Riley Green went one for three with 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.639 a solo Homer on Thursday in a rehab game in 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.680 Triple A, which he is close. I think they're saying 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.320 he might play this weekend, so maybe it's tomorrow that 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.280 he's going to be activated, which is huge for me 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.359 in a couple of leagues because I had pretty heavy 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.280
