Did we 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:49.520 just become best friends? Fantasy best Friends Forever? Shaw's gonna 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.440 here too long, you guys, A one minute here before 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:58.240 you come in. He's getting comfortable. It's been wait too long. 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.520 I'm Greg Sausman. That's Frank's atleast this is the Fantasy 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:07.080 best Friends Forever up. Should I hate you with the Budweiser? 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.360 I feel like that's probably something you hate. Greg. That 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.679 was so nineties. Don't do that. I was, I wasn't. 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.600 I wasn't like that. It's also like a Bubbara Dudley 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.480 thing too, so they took it from the commercial. Yeah, 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.160 of course, So if I started making that part of 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.440 my thing every day, would you a hate it? We 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.560 love it. We're just I don't think I think neither 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.120 probably past it. But you know, you know how like 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.360 everything comes full circle, Greg, like they're starting to make 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.800 all these like not starting. They've been making remakes of 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.160 movies for like ever now, and remakes of shows and stuff. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.720 I feel like we're close to getting like the remake 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:45.640 of that commercial. None, like another iteration of it or 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.200 something like that. Do that recently? Maybe, I don't know 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.360 if they did. It wasn't nearly as successful as when 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:52.600 it first came out. I mean it was hard. It 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.800 would be hard to live up to that, but it 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.480 was a big fan of that. It was fun. I'll 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.680 never forget the super Bowl commercial, not when that was 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.760 the most popular in the world. Did a super Bowl commercial? 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.080 You'mber what it was? No, Oh my god, it was amazing. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.280 I was really young when that, like ad campaign was 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.640 a fan. I was young too, but I just just 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:13.359 remember the one up being the be A going into 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.919 the super Bowl almost like um the Deally Dally guys 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.239 a year ago. So they did a super Bowl commercial 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.040 what are you doing? What are you doing? What are 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.200 you doing? Instead of what it was, what are you doing? 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.120 What are you doing? What are you doing. Oh my god, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.400 it's hysterical. Yeah, it was really you gotta check that 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.120 out on YouTube during the break. Check it out. It was. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:40.680 It's really funny. All right, yea, I trust you, Greg. Greg. 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.440 Would you like to do a little NBA dress a 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.160 lottery simulator before we jump into baseball, and we should 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.079 do it every hour on the hour, So on every hour, 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.160 I mean every like ten minutes ago, okay, every every 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.400 ten minutes. Are you ready for this one? Okay? Do do 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.240 do do? Do Do? Do do? Sit in the lottery with 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.160 the number one overall pick this Chicago Bulls are on 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.040 the clock on by the Atlanta Hawks. The only team 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:05.880 projected to be in the top three that actually makes it, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:10.000 the Phoenix Suns. Congratulations. Chris Welsh for the Los Angeles 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:14.400 Lakers with the pick your New York Knickerbockers. God, this 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:19.040 would be terrible. Cleveland drops the six two. Oh yeah yeah. Alright. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.080 So so that's our that's our one oh five pm 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:26.120 NBA Draft Lottery simulator. We'll be back in about ten minutes. Reagan, 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.519 back to you, all right, back to me. So let's 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.000 begin with some of the work from last night, and 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.120 let's begin with Chicago White Socks. Because you want Monicada, 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.880 you went nuts. Yeah, Makada was awesome in this one. 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.240 I was watching the start, obviously with a close eye 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.600 on Shane Bieber here, and Mancata just tagged him and 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:47.680 he he hit a fastball up and in basically down 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.920 the line, and then later on he just kind of 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.520 like flicked his wrist. Looks like anyone else would have 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.040 hit it probably would have been like a bloop to 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.760 like the opposite field goes over the fence for you 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.240 on Moncada. That's just the way that this guy is 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:00.720 locked in so far of this year in the type 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.360 of contact that he's making when he does make contact. Um, 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.320 he's significantly lowered his strikeout rate this year. Greg, we 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.280 haven't talked a lot about Mankada recently, but I said 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.720 coming into the season, if he can lower his strikeout 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.200 rate about five six pc, his batting average will shoot 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:21.520 up because he makes hard contact. And that's exactly what's happened. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.800 Last year thirty three point four percent strikeout rate. This 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.360 year twenty six point nine percent strikeout rate. So he's 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.640 lowered it quite significantly. The batting average up to two 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:34.480 eighty nine that's probably overly optimistic. Like if I had 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.680 to put a aligne on it the rest of the way, 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.680 I'd probably put him at like two sixty two sixty 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.479 five is something like that, just because he does still 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.200 strike out a lot, but the powers legit. He has 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.200 nine home runs in a hundred and seventy five plate 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.960 appearances so far this year. He had seventeen in six 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.960 d fifty plate appearances last year. Um, he's just looks 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.039 like he's he's on that verge of that breakout, Greg, 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.080 And this is why you don't write off prospects early 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.159 on in their career. Last year was his first full 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.960 season and only hit seventeen runs with twelve stolen basis. 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.440 But this year nine homers, twenty nine runs scored, already, 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.000 twenty eight r b i s, four stolen basis, twoity 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.120 nine batting average. Again, I think the batting average coming down. 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.719 But even if he's a four category contributor, Greg, you 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.680 love that. You love that when it comes to you 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.120 on no doubt about it all. Mccon has been really, 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.320 really good this season. Happy that he's off today, but 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:27.960 he's been really man. You'll take a day off after 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:29.479 last night. The guy gave you a three hits and 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.120 two home runs. I think you're doing all right if 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.640 you're a Moncata owner. I hope so. Like it's Daniel 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.799 Murphy where he's off every other day, we're gonna started. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.600 You probably want him off today against Chris Sale. I 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.520 don't want to start him, No, I just I want 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.880 the guy to play greg That's what I want. Ronaldo 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.440 Lopez was also awesome in this start. Yeah, So Ronaldo Lopez, 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.200 we had the question yesterday are you going to use 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.680 him as a two start pitcher on the week? And 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.320 last night if you did, you got what you needed. 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.240 In that first start as has been seven and two thirds, 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.560 allowed just two hits, one or in run two or 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.159 two runs total six ks. He walked to. The only 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.240 run that he allowed those earth was the Francisco Lindoor 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.800 solo shot. Lindore later hit a sack fly in the 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.760 third and that was it. He was absolutely fantastic last night, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.840 was her not the Lopez shamby or not so much? 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.839 Six and the third, seven hits, five runs, he struck 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.039 out six. You know, it's crazy. Even after this start, 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.840 his ear a stands at five point five eight, which 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.440 just shows you the wide range of outcomes that you 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.560 could get from Ronaldo Lopez. As I mentioned, I was 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.080 watching the start and he was lights out. I don't 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:38.440 know if it's him being really good or this Indians 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.920 lineup is just god offer right now, like you could 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.960 just stream any starting pitcher against the Cleveland Indians, They're 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.160 an absolute mess. But something that I have noticed regarding 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.200 Ronaldo Lopez is with each success in two season greg 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.960 he has started to scrap the curveball even more. And 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.880 now over his past four starts he basically hasn't thrown it. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.440 He hasn't thrown it a single time. He's just focusing 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.640 in on his ask ball, his changeup and his slider, 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.680 and the past couple starts, what I've seen the out 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.920 of the changeup is this is a pretty good offering. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.400 I don't know that it's a if it's an organizational 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.720 philosophy thing that they're going through right now, but Gelto 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.120 has been using his change up more. Ronaldo Lopez has 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.440 been using his change up more, and the results have 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.400 been night and day for these guys. So Ronaldo Lopez 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.400 on the year, the cape or nine is up to 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.360 nine point four. Last year it was seven point two, 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.320 so again, both with him and ge Leo, you see 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.440 the swinging strike rade up massively. It's up over two 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.080 percent this year. Um the strikeouts are up over the 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.880 past two starts. He's walked just three total over his 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:40.000 past two starts. Not that that's phenomenally low. It's not like, 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.040 all right, well, he's gotten three straight games without walking anyone. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.840 But he's getting better. I mean, these are like the slow, 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.600 incremental steps that you need to see out of a 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.520 guy like Ronaldo Lopez. He's not just gonna continue stop 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.920 walking guys like immediately, but just three walks over his 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.600 last two starts, and we're starting to see some results here. Greg. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.240 I think he's starting to learn how to pitch, kind 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.840 of similarly to what we're seeing out of Lucas Gielito. 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.240 It's taken some time. He didn't just come up and 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.000 take the world by storm, but he throws me in nineties. 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:10.760 He's got a pretty good slider, and it seems like 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.080 the changeup is coming along. I like what I've seen 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.240 out of Ronaldo Lopez. He's a guy that should be owned. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.960 I believe that, and you'll stream him in the right 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.480 matchups to start week Cleveland in means Toronto. This was 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.880 the right week to start him. The matches were good. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.720 He took a shot last night. It obviously paid off 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.280 in a major, major way. Outside of Yawn Lacatas two 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.000 hole runs. It was his eighth and ninth homers of 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.360 the season. Jose Bray, you hit his tent whole run 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:37.520 of the year. I now you were a Jose Rae 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.960 you guy coming into this season, Frank, you liked where 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.920 you were getting. You were drafting him and compared to the 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.320 the Cheei Vada who's really really struggled obviously on this season, 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.760 a Ray was fantastic value. We compared those two and 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.680 you were getting a brave I believe. Two rounds later 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.840 or so, and he's got in Tuesdays nine with a 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.280 three thirty o b P. With those ten hole runs 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.680 now on the year. Yeah, I mean the thirty six 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.480 RB I s that's the biggest number that I'm looking at. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.640 He's top five in baseball right now, so especially it 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.280 seems like he got off to a really slow start. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.120 Still has thirty six RBIs the show right now. Also 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.959 has two stone bases, which is like this guy never 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.320 steals based I'm not expecting that from him, but ten 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.560 home runs to seventy batting average, Right, Greg, I mean 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.079 I was all over jose Brey. You at his price 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.120 coming into the season, and he's given you everything that 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:23.040 you can hope for. Um, He's not just like a 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.320 a one format kind of guy. He's good in rodo, 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.959 he's good in points leagues, he makes a lot of contact. Um, 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.959 he's been rock solid the past couple of seasons. So 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.360 obviously no complaints. I've I've loved everything that I've gotten 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.600 out of jose Brew. You mentioned he hit his tenth 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.360 home run, which came off of Shane Bieber in this start, 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.240 Shane Bieber. I'm gonna jump in here, Greg on Bieber. 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.120 The first three innings he got two quick outs in 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.760 each ending and then allowed a solo home run three 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.040 innings in a row with two outs. It was just really, 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.560 really frustrating. And you know, I got a few questions 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.160 last night regarding Shane Bieber, and I'm kind of en 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.199 this up to you as well. We could have a 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.080 little bit of back and forth. He had twelve swinging 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.760 strikes in a hundred and one pitches. He still had 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.080 six strikeouts in six and a third in pitch, but 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.360 he allowed four solo homers in the start, five runs total. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.199 And what we said about Biever coming into this season, Greg, 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.319 is that he needed to learn to not pitch in 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.720 the zone as much because he has really good command, 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.520 and we're seeing that this year. His zone percentages down. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.400 Last year, he pitched in his zonecent of the time. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.600 This year it's forty two point six percent. He's walking 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.600 more guys, so I mean, these are indications that he's 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.360 pitching outside the zone. He's trying to get guys to 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.719 chase pitches outside the strike zone more this year, and 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.800 his chase rate is up a little bit, it's up 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.240 one percent. Nothing phenomenal here on The swinging strike rate 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.280 is up a little bit. But I'll open this up 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.880 to you, Greg, do we have a case here with 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.719 Shane Bieber that his stuff is just not as good 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.960 as we thought it was. I think is that what 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.800 it comes down to, because I don't really have any 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.160 other explanation. He's still averaging almost ten case per nine, 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.880 but his hard hit rate, once again, even with not 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.520 pitching outside, pitching in the zone as much as he 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.600 did last year, he's doing what we asked him to do. 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.000 Nit pick a little bit more, pitch around the outside 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:14.640 of the zone a little bit, don't live inside the 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.959 zone as much. He's doing that. His heart hit rate 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.160 GREG this year has gone up. They're making optimal contact 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.120 against him forty percent hard hit rate. And I was 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.720 actually talking with our buddy in the chat Big Timer 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:32.000 last night on Twitter. He's pitched in cold weather to 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.320 this point. If he's giving up one point eight home 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.199 runs per nine and forty five percent hard hit rate 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.120 right now in cold weather, what's gonna happen when the 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.480 weather starts to heat up. So I do have some 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.560 concerns over Shane Bieber. He's got a three eight one 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.920 ear ray, he's got a three nine seven x fit, 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.080 he's got a four point four six FIPS. So there's 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.599 not really anything that you can hold your hat on 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.080 him right now. His BABIT is actually low. That's because 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.040 he's given up as many home runs as he is. 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:03.520 But I mean, it's frustrating. It's frustrating to watch because 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.480 I feel like the stuff is it's pretty good. I 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.559 was really banking on him taking that next step because 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.520 he's in Cleveland and they've done a really good job 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.679 developing starting pitchers. You know he sits ninety three with 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:18.120 his fastball not overwhelming. His fastball gets crushed a lot um. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.760 I think it's changed up. His breaking pitches are I 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.959 mean slider, his breaking pitches are plus pitches. But for 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.720 whatever reason, he's getting masked Greg. It hasn't worked out 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.240 right now four shape Bieber. And there's also the signs 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.319 right there, as Fright mentioned that it may not just 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.839 all of a sudden turned around a which flipped as 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:42.080 we may hope. I think it's a logical logical question. 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:43.800 So you want to sell shape Bieber? What are you 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.679 telling him for or are you not there yet? Yeah? 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.760 I'm not there yet because look, there's still a lot 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.040 that I liked about him coming into the year, and 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.800 I do think that the Cleveland Indians as a team 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.439 will get better overall, and I do think that Shane 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.120 Bieber will be part of that. But I just don't 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.000 know what else he could do differently, Like he's lowered 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.040 his fastball usage this year ten percent, so it's kind 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.280 of additioned by subtraction. He's using the slider more, he's 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.200 using the change up more this year. I'm not selling 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:13.800 him yet because it seems like this will be an 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.480 odd time to try and sell him. He's coming off 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:19.360 to lackluster starts. I mean his past. His last start 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.880 was a quality start, it wasn't bad, but six and 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.360 the third three and runs against the White Sox. There's 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:25.880 a team now that has seen him two starts in 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.760 a row and then yesterday five or and run. So 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.360 I feel like it would be a weird time to 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.640 try and sell him. So I'm gonna hold There's still 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.280 a lot that I like coming into the season, Greg, 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.640 But but I do have my my concerns. Maybe I 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.319 don't rank him, like if I'm rebranking today, I don't 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.199 rank him as aggressively as I did. I had him 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:43.559 rank the tip of my top twenty. I think I 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.560 had him rank nineteen right around twenty. Maybe I have 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.160 that number closer to thirty. Shame byber the question mark 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.000 do e saist? Who's the second start with against this week? 0:13:54.400 --> 0:14:00.199 That would be against the Baltimore Orioles, so that's the 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.320 toughest matchup. He should be able to take advantage there. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:06.360 We'll see, We hope, we hope indeed at correct on 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.160 the year. As I said yesterday about now, there will 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.160 be a three thirty three Lindora. One of the big 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.200 counting around Greg. Josie Ramirez that had fifth in this 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.280 game is the first time he batted lower than third 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.360 all season long. He went over four o BP at 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:25.280 two ninety one batting average at one three. No bueno 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.920 Josie Ramirez slugging percentage? What do you what do you 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.440 do if you're Josie Ramiro's owner, Greg, and you can't 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.040 bench him? Why you can't? It's the first round pick. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.520 I mean we drafted him in fifteen team league. Obviously 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.160 we're not benching him there? What are you doing with 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.680 this guy? Though? Like his batting averages, he's expected batting 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.760 averages tote, so he's clearly been unlucky for a long 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:55.840 time now. But is wOBA way down from last year. 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.520 His slugging percentage has expected slugging percentage, everything is down. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.040 Do you just try and sell hosing your mirrors based 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.240 on his name value? Right now? Greg? Yes? But what 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.080 are you gonna get so everyone's gonna recognize the numbers? Obviously? 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.480 Constantine sent me a text today and said he got 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.600 offered Stoley, Marte and Hunter Dozert. You know why I 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.800 Constant sent you a text because he subscribes to your 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.280 Patreon's rank. He's the highest of the high. Like, I'm 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.680 just letting you know this is a true story. Frank 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.760 walks in this morning. I'm like, Frank, I really need 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.160 you to do this video, like we got work to do. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.080 I need you, I need you to do this, and 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:34.160 he goes, well, I constance. He texted me he pays 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.640 for my time. I have to respond first, and I 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.080 was very frustrated because I was like, I also pay you, 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.400 and He's just like, well, deal with it. That happened. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.280 If you want that kind of attention from Frank, you 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.680 should also subscribe to his Patreon. That's exactly right, Greggy. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.160 I'll answer your d ms on Patreon as well. They 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.000 have a nice little feature there, so I get hit 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.600 up from a few of the Patreon subscribers asking questions 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.520 with the private messages, so I'm always around to answer 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:01.320 questions obviously, and they obviously put out the Waiver Wire 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:02.760 stuff over the weekend. I like to put out some 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:07.400 Swinging Strikes stuff fabrary cap So yeah, it's been fun, Greg. 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:12.400 I'm looking into Ramirez right now. Stack cast numbers against 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.240 certain pitches. So we were worried about the breaking pitches. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.960 Coming into the year. He hit one eight one against 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:22.400 breaking pitches last year, three against fastballs. This year, he's 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:26.880 sitting two six against breaking pitches, one sixty against fast 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.520 I think he's in his own head, dude. I think 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.120 he's thinking so much about these breaking pitches that he's 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:38.000 psyching himself out. He's sitting won sixty against fastballs with 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.640 a two seven expected batting average against fastballs this year, 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.760 so he's always been a good fastball hitter. He's hitting 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.320 two year against breaking pitches, is expected batting average against 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:56.520 breaking pitches one four. It's bad. It's very May four. 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:03.160 But I'm getting close to the point where we almost 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.840 have a full calendar year of data. Greg of Josira 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:11.440 Mirs struggling against breaking pitches. Everyone who was fading Josi 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:16.040 Ramires worried about that second half, worried about him struggling 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.840 against breaking pitches. You might be onto something. Let's take 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.840 a break here when we come back.

You don't show up for the mandatory minicamp, 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.760 that's problems, fines, and it means that you want to 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:13.320 do your own thing and you don't care about the team. 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.879 Then I'll criticize you, but not for the voluntary stuff. 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.080 I just have to be there if the NFL, p 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.760 A and the league negotiate it. What Tom Coughlin did 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.640 was wrong, and anything other than what Adam Gaze said 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.320 would be wrong in my opinion.

He 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.800 did a whole segment on the Indians and White Sox recap. 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:57.160 We did all right, Greg, It is now two. It's 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:02.920 the lottery on this time to simulate the lotter read 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:07.560 and with the number one overall pick tonight, the Memphis 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:12.600 Grizzlies will be selecting Zion Williamson, ated by the Cleveland Cavaliers, 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.720 followed by the Washington Wizards, followed by the Dallas Mavericks, 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.199 and you're New York Knicks at number five. Greg, I 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.320 have done this now three times, and all three times 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.520 I have got the fifth pick for the New York Knicks. 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.879 This is very bad. This is not going to dwell 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.480 Cameraddish territory. This is not this is not gonna well. 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:39.200 I mean, the Knicks must know this. They must know 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:41.560 that they're going to fail at the lottery tonight. And 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.919 that's why they were talking about ham Reddish over the weekend, 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:46.760 that that the Knicks are doing their homework, do when 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.440 their due diligence because they know they know they're getting 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.040 the fifth pick, right, you know they've accepted it. To 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.280
