You know, it's funny that 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.560 JJ is bringing up my hat. I was hat shopping 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.360 last night, trying to maybe pick up another two. So 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.760 maybe we will see that. Let's see best bets make 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.280 me some money. That's right, Edward. So we'll talk to 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.639 you guys in the chat a little bit today, Scott. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.600 That's right. Itl full takeover. We have got all the 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.079 stuff and the things. I don't even know whe Joe 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.720 is by the way, I mean, puppet Joe came in 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.280 kind of took over a little bit he might have 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.040 gotten a little bit upset. Maybe he needed a day 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.520 off to cool off, because literally my hand was able 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.200 to do the whole thing. And I don't know if 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.880 you heard this, Bogs. We are now if we get 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.840 to twenty five k on the YouTube, we're gonna do 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.440 an entire show as puppets. Fantacy bro is gonna let 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.120 us do it. I don't know how we're gonna get 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:32.639 the puppets. 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.880 Jason Siegel gonna come in here and write a whole 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:35.640 script for you guys. 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:36.240 That'll be great. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.480 Oh yeah, the dragular drug. That's a great scene, one 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.160 hundred percent. So we'll try to monitor if Bogman, if 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.680 you're monitor in the chat, we'll bring some stuff up 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.119 if you've got some questions. But today it is prospect Day. 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.280 We're gonna be prospecting with me the Welsh, and I'm 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.600 taking a little bit of a different turn on it today, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.760 so make sure you're locked into later in the episode. 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.799 It's more of a surprising prospect watch. We got the 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.680 best bets coming up in a little bit. We got 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.000 early game. We got a short slate, but Bog's the 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.080 short slate these Thursdays, I guess I'm never like accustomed 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.359 to it. And then every time Thursday comes, I'm like, oh, yeah, 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.440 we have like six games, which is kind of. 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.840 I don't understand why you can't remember that Thursday is 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.440 the travel day, Like, uh, it's you were always upset 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.080 every Thursday, like every Thursday, six games, five games, seven games. 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.720 I hate it. I hate it. We need more games. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.000 Look, I agree, I wish we could add more games, 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.480 but guys got to travel, they gotta move. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.400 I guess, I guess. I don't know. We could just 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.959 like play it really really cool, but we The good 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.960 thing is is we've got some really good pitching matchups today. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.880 If everybody is paying attention to that. We've got Jared Jones. 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.280 We've actually Justin Steele is just getting the gauntlet of 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.080 great Uh you know pirates your best friends, Yeah, my 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.400 best my best, very good friend. Justin Steele didn't want 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.440 to hit him up after the the Paul Skimes matchup. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.840 No, no, I didn't want to talk to him after. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.480 No thought I'd get a little hands off on that. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.839 Did not hit up Justin Steele. But he's got Jared 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.840 Jones today. So we got Jared Jones on the mound. 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.240 We've got Justin Steele on the mount. We've also got 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.480 Tyler Glass now, so even though we've got a short 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.920 slate of games, there's a bunch of good stuff. And then, 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.720 of course Cooper Criswell. If I'm going to talk about 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.680 all the great pitchers, let's talk about Razor Ramones, Cooper Criswell, 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.480 and Joey Estes of course throughout all right, let's get 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.080 to the headline. Zo Bogs Aaron Judge four for four, 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:25.360 huge home run, three doubles, two runs scored, RBI and 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.480 a walk in the Yankees four to zero win against 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.800 the Twins on Wednesday, and we've got them early coming 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:34.160 up right after this, Judge finally really getting his feet 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.240 under him, as Juan Soto has been like the clear 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:37.599 cut MVP on that team. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.160 Yeah, you remember when he was struggling and hitting two 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.839 oh seven in March and April, and now he's hitting 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.479 three seventy eight in May. Right now, he is just 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.920 absolutely on a heater. So glad to see Judge wake up, 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.560 get out of it and be the guy we all 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:52.320 thought he was going to be. 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.520 Yeah, wake up, wake up. First of the month. Let's 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.720 see fifty nine percent hard hit rate K percentage is 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.920 actually down from last year. He's got a two eighty 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.120 seven expected batting average. Fun fact, he has had an 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.279 expected batting average of two eighty seven or higher for 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.919 four straight years. Aaron Judge and the most absurd barrel 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.640 barreling of any player. Interesting to see too how it 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:18.480 all correlates long term with the bat track data. Absolute 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.599 cheap plug. But on the ittail podcast, I'm talking with 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.880 Ino Serras today and we're gonna only talk about the 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.400 bat tracking data on Baseball Savant, Like he wrote this 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.520 really great article that's talking about the correlations of them. 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.960 Judge is interesting because Judge, he has a teammate that 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.600 has the fastest swing in baseball in John Carlos Stanton, 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.200 but also one of the worst players in baseball because it's. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.000 I mean, he closes his eyes when he swings that hard. Yeah, 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:45.560 well it's just pretty obvious. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.320 But he also like he kind of stinks, and he's 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.560 got this big loopy swing even though it's fast. Where Judge, 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:51.920 even though he's just like, you know, one of the 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.320 biggest human beings out there, he's got I have to 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.400 go and look because I want to say he exists 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.599 in the shorter swing range, and he's got really great 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.160 bat speeds. So I don't know fun to get all 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:02.840 of that. Did you see Joe, by the way, losing 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.440 it over the blast rate? What a child who would 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.880 think and have such a childish mentality? Bogman that would 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:11.120 mind in the gutter? 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:15.680 Not you, No, of course not I. I respect all 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:16.880 things properly. 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.880 So always have. So I've always said about everybody. 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.039 Logan always said about me. 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.040 Logan Web tossed six scoreless innings, five strikeouts, and a 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.040 win over the Dodgers. Little bit dicey. Joe has been 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.559 super anti logan Web. Any trust in Logan Web? Picking 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.200 this like as in a bye type of thing? If 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.479 Logan Web has not recouped I think the original preseason 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.480 logan Web value. So is that something you want to 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.120 get in now? Or do you think this kind of 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.240 up and down version of logan Web is what we 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:43.360 have for the rest of the year. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.800 Yeah, I don't. I think he's gonna settle in and 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.960 be fine. You know, this is a guy who is 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.640 throwing you know, is Sierra is not terrible? Is three 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:53.160 five one? 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:53.320 Is? 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:54.400 Here's three zero three? 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.560 He does have some blow ups in there he's been 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.960 you know the spike graph for sure, or in his starts. 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.720 But I think he's gonna be fine, you know it 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.320 just all we want with these pictures is honest to God, 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.440 it's just stay healthy, you know what I mean. So 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.200 uh yeah, And I see in the chat a lot 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.000 of people like he was way better as Mike Stanton, true, 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:14.800 very very. 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.120 It's just better when he wasn't. You know, this old 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.720 just it just it did not regress well. And I mean, 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.640 I will think about that Homer he hit John Carlo 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.040 the other day where it was just as I described 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.920 it or as it was described online. And Joe Joe 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.000 had never heard the term piss missile like that is 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.240 really he had never heard that term in his life. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.360 That's like a me thing, absolutely, Annil. I'll always think 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.920 about that. But that's like, you know, Stanton's like a 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.320 one in twenty type of guy. It's like, you know, 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.720 every twentieth thing that happens like ooh, this is exciting, 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.000 and then it's like eighteen you know, strikeouts or whatever 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.320 it is. He's just inconsistent. 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.440 It's swing as hard as you can in case you 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.480 hit it. That is what Stanton's game. 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.480 Is yeah, and again on that bat tracking data, the 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.240 fastest swing in all of baseball is Stanton, you know, 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.240 so that's that muscle memory. But fast swings don't necessarily, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.920 oh they're not going to correlate to barreling, and Stanton's 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.520 like literal proof of that. Sales Auzuki two for five 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.160 with the home run, double, two runs scored, and a 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.320 win over the Braves on Wednesday. The home run was 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.680 Suzuki's first coming off the I l with an oblique strain. 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.360 And another little side note in that I want to 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.640 talk about with you know, and I'll bring back to 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:28.080 here is rib and oblique injury seem to be this 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.839 new correlation with the faster bats. It's really fascinating across 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.280 the board. But yeah, as pitchers throw harder, Tommy John 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.480 has been the correlation, you know, or like elbow issues 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.040 with hitters. As bat speed is becoming more and more 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.679 of a thing, oblique and rib injury. That's why we've 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.679 seen so many more of them. This is coming from 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.800 the uptick in teams and players wanting to swing a 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.599 lot harder. And there you go, here's an oblique The 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.120 oblique injury that Suzuki just dealt with. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.719 Yeah, and you know it's funny, you know, mentioning that, 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.000 like we saw the pictures. As soon as like the 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.200 pitching metrics came out, the average fastball went up two 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.440 point eight miles per hour since then, So the average 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.679 batspeed is going to go up because these guys are 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.720 gonna start selling out for bat speed and we're gonna 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:15.480 see more injuries. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.280 It's just it's exactly what's gonna happen. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.839 He's like beef, Oh, Tommy o'bleak injuries. That's right, That's 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.920 exactly what it is. Good stuff in the chat. I'm 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.240 gonna bring up a couple things when we get through 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.840 the headlines. You guys are bringing up Jeffrey Springs. We 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.800 absolutely absolutely should talk about that. The other busted through 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.320 headlines John Gray six and one third shutout innings, three 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.839 strikeouts in a win over the Guardians. He ends the 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.920 day with a two point zero eight ERA RA, a 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.360 little over a one whip and a fifty two to 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.840 fourteen K to walk ratio over fifty two innings. I 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.960 have been very negative about John Gray in so thinking 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.640 like he's gonna be bumped. You know, maybe they make 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.760 a move or when these guys start getting healthy, but 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.199 he's been good. Do you buy John Gray? 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:58.199 Oh? 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.160 Man, I feel like every time roster John Gray, he 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.720 sucks and so I have no shares them in this year. 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:08.120 So this is obviously his best season, So I don't. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:09.760 I do not trust John Gray. 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.200 We have not seen a lot of consistency with him, 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.280 so unlike Logan Web, who we have, I will just 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.559 say I'm not gonna trust John Gray long term. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:18.200 Ride the wave. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.080 That's great, but I think it's all gonna come crashing 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.199 down pretty quickly. 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.400 And I think the expected stats kind of tell it. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.760 But I think the interesting part about it, the difference 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:32.559 is from John Gray being absolute bluh or is John 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:37.200 Gray a borderline streamer to hold on the back end 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.280 of your bench. And that might be the case. He's 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.520 got three point seven expected ERA who is absurdly good era, 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.000 but K percentage up from last year, walk percentage near 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:51.199 a career low. His velos are down, though, which is 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.560 something to watch. So that's why I don't think he's 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.280 like this, like consistently awesome. Hold. But yes, as said 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:01.160 right here regression candidate John Gray, that it probably comes 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.640 from a streamer mentality. So someone were trying to grab him. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.000 You know, you're sure, go ahead, get off of that. 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.880 But you know it's kind of interesting. Todz. Bradley battled 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.400 out with ten or hawk and earn the win in 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.480 Finway Park. He struck out six while allowing two and runs, 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.560 four hits and one walk, force three victory. Why is 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.720 that four to three victory important? Because I bet eight 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.880 under on the runs. That's right. It was two for 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.760 three on the bets yesterday. Yeah, the Washington I got box. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.800 I got sucked in because Washington's been decent and they're 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.120 going up against Chicago. They were plus one fifty on 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.400 the money line to the first five, but then there 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.439 was no CJ. Abrams and it was one nothing after five. 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.319 So it wasn't like it was like it's completely stupid one. 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.880 I just got sucked in by the the plus money. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.839 But you know, two for three this was one of 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.840 them and it barely hit. This was one of those 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.040 things too, by the way, where it was like I 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.079 want to say, they're like no runs scored, and then 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.120 I tuned in. Then runs started getting scored. This is that, 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.000 you know, baseball players are like super superstitious, superstition. The 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.160 other day I bet on the Diamondbacks and Reds to 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.480 be under four and a half runs through the first 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:11.120 five for two innings, no runs, I tuned in. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.920 But do, but do? But do? 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.600 There's I'm starting to get like really bad, Like I 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:17.520 don't think I can have. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.480 Well, but third and fourth time through the order, you're 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:21.640 gonna get hit more. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.800 It's not. This isn't a magical form. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.680 I think it was magic. I think it was me. 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:26.960 I'm the problem. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.120 Yeah, is that right, Taylor? You're you're the problem with you. 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.720 I think I'm right. Like they were doing fine until 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.959 I tuned in. My bet was on the line, and 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.880 I was thinking about my bet. I don't think moving forward, 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.680 I can watch my bets anymore. It's not. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.720 I tell you, you know what you need to do is 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.079 you need to take a row of those autograph baseballs 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.000 and turn the autograph on the inside facing the wall. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.480 That will make less runs. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.280 Oh so like tournament like what like Blair Witch project 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:53.280 like have them at the wall. 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.199 M just one row, can't do all of them. 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.480 I had a bad omen a bunch of crashed down 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.600 a little bit ago, like literally before. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.160 Don't put those back up. Yeah, let's see, Yeah, I 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:04.560 leave them down there, don't touch it. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.880 Well, okay, sorry touches on this one. That you know 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:11.240 what James would, We're gonna be talking Jackson Marland James would. 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.960 So is that is that a bad omen for them? 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:15.400 I don't know. 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.800 They all fell off and you're over there putting your 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.520 dirty digits on them, and I don't like it. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.640 Were they gonna live there forever? What am I gonna do? 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:23.800 Yeah, that's where they go. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:25.480 They just lived that, that's their home. 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:30.960 Yeah, gotcha, Salix, my office. 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:36.520 Suck it is. And last couple of things, Brandon fought 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:41.680 nine stra after betting him last week. Zero strikeouts, nine strikeouts, 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.480 one run over seven innings Wednesday and a no decision 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:48.360 against the Reds. There's just still some inconsistency, that's you know, 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.040 that's what it is with Brandon fought. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:51.320 But you know he looked great though. 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.160 I mean the one bad pitch test, but all that 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.240 is really all he had, so really really good start 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.600 for Brandon Fott and the d Backs needed. 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.079 So that's right. And the Raves gave Ronald I thought 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.480 it was weird. Braves gave Ronald Cuoney the day off 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.559 on Wednesday because they wanted this they called this him 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.880 to detox as a way to break his slump. That's 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.280 just a day off. And uh Eddie Presid said that 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.840 they believe that Acunya is pressing and they said, sometimes 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.600 you force some things. But I thought it was so 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.840 weird that they use the word detox as the term 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.280 of like like what like do they do anything else? 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.440 Like you could just say a day off, but how 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:28.800 many detoxes have you done? 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:30.480 Detoxes? 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.080 Day off or detoxes? 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.640 Do they ever go a lot of days off? I 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:35.760 don't think I've done a detail. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.560 And I'm not talking about like you going to phil 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.640 Berto's detoxing or you know what I mean. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.480 Well, that's it's a different way to clean out the system, right, 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:44.760 it's not that detox. 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.160 I understand what you're talking about. Zero shares of detoxing. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.920 Well, yeah, Ronald Acunya is detoxing. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.840 I also didn't eat like you know, the paper you're 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.560 supposed to eat, and then it comes out you know, 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.680 it sounds like you're wanting all hippie stuff here. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.800 Yeah, kind of do you think this is a bad omen? 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.200 Sabo said he doesn't like that. I'm on Joe's side, 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.360 but this is the host side and I'm hosting. Yeah, 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:07.960 this is a bad elements. I'm looking for omens. I'm 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.520 trying to control omens right now. They're freaking me out. 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.440 Yeah, quit looking for omens. It's uh, I don't wanna 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:15.000 do these balls? 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.960 Should I look at? Someone said James wood acal tears 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.960 coming in. I'm going in for another ball. Oh you 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.200 have Oh Dylan Cruz? 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:24.360 What? 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.320 Yeah? Sorry, this is a prospect based on what are 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.480 you just murdering all the Nationals prospects? 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:30.560 What's happening right. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.680 Does I'm giving everybody some some knowledge here on what's 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.520 going to be happening here. So Dylan Cruz was the 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.200 second ball that fell down early this morning. Quick, little 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:39.800 rookie looking and then you know what we're getting to. 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.960 Jordan Beck launched his first home run of the the year, 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.280 which is awesome. Is the Rockies absolutely oh oliterated, Michael 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.560 King ain't to nothing, Jordan Beck getting. 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:49.760 Rockies have been scoring some runs. 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.520 Yeah, Jordan Beck. One of the reasons. One of those 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.240 reasons why, you know, I know a lot of the 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.040 prospects have not worked, but him in that you know, 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.840 vicinity of Colorado. It's kind of a good thing. And 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.840 especially with the homer, might not be going away soon. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.840 But I will tell you, Chris Bryant, I think it 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.440 was yesterday started rehab assignment. So Jordan Beck's really gonna 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.840 have to keep hitting so that they don't make it. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.040 This also doesn't hop me. This is right, thirty nine 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.640 percent k rate for Jordan Beck. But I'd expect he's. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:17.760 Gonna go Yeah. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.920 I mean, look, if if Chris Bryant ever comes back, 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.960 I you know, didn't he talk about how his back 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.800 issues are just gonna be chronic for the rest of 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.760 his career and all of that. So I don't know, 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.040 you know, if if Chris Bryant is back, does anyone 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:32.480 really know? 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.720 I guess like a tree falls in the woods type of. 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.480 Thing, that's right. Yeah, yeah, it's a philosophy, very philosophical question. 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.560 Oh you almost wished him that, you almost? 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:41.440 I almost did. 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:42.840 Yeah, yeah, you're really close. 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:43.520 Uh. 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.120 We talked about him like over the last couple of days, 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.320 Jackson Churio, Everyone's like, can I cut can I cut bait? 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.040 Blah blah blah. Well he went two for four with 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.040 a two run homer on Wednesday, blowout win for the Pirates. 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:58.920 Absolutely huge, huge, u juje that we get Cheerio going again, 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:00.240 if you guys are going to hold on. But as 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:04.080 I had said in the discord chat, which as always, 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.520 if I can find the proper thing, it's very It's 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.480 so much easier when Joe is hosting, so I don't 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.040 have to like press all the buttons. But if you guys, 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.359 you know, come over and hang out with us on 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.119 the discord when we do the cleaning up show Fantasypros 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.080 dot Com slash chat or Fantasypros dot Com slash cleaning Up, 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.720 you can get directly into it. We were just talking 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.800 about that and I was like, the end of the day, 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.000 if I could put him on the bench and just sit, 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:30.639 that's what I would like. But if Cheerio was in 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.240 a position where you know, he was like starting every 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.200 single day, the question was Cheerio versus Kepler at the time, 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.399 and it's like, well, Kepler has been really hot. If 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.520 you're just eating all of that production from Cheerio, then yeah, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.560 Kepler at this point in redraft would make a lot 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.800 of sense. But if it's a situation where you got 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:49.520 four or five bench spots, I would rather have the 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.159 upside of Cheerio than like once a week throwing a 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.119 guy that's getting like a little bit of production. That 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:55.720
