I mean, I don't know what size it is. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.080 Orlando Cabrera wasn't the biggest guy. 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:50.600 Yeah, you don't actually have to wear it. 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.840 Also, at gres, Andy could be a lumberjack for all 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.400 I know. Andy Peckman could be like, you know, just 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:56.320 just completely spoiled. 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:57.040 I wouldn't fit. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.280 I wouldn't fit in a Orlando Cabrera like actual like 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:01.360 one of his own jerseys. 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:02.280 I don't think I would. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.760 I think one of us. 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.640 No, definitely not me either. It would be fat guy 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.239 in a little coat. That's where they were bad. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.040 We would got a little coat. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.440 It's funny every time. Every time it's funny, and I 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.520 know it's coming and I'm watching it and I'm still 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:19.040 laughing out. 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.000 You want to take real quick this. I'm actually really 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.440 sad about. I'm sad to report this. Oh no, I 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.799 just really quickly. I rewatched Idiocracy last night. A lot 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.360 of reasons to rewatch Idiocracy, and. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.639 Because they sure you were watching that you had the 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:34.239 wrong channel on. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.120 I gotta tell you again and all that that's not 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.560 here's the sad news. 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.400 It doesn't hold up. 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.679 I forgot, like there are we just watched it for 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.240 the first time a couple of weeks ago, and they 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:46.639 did for me. I know it was a start. 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.480 Because it's your first Like, there are a couple of lines. 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.360 There are lines in it that I was like. I 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.919 made my wife watch it, and I was like, I 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.560 look it over to her and she hasn't other lines, 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.160 but I'm like, oh, look it's the line you know, 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.919 welcome to Costco. I love you like you're great lines. 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.680 But the story is at it just kind of drag. 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.120 Yeah, man, it's so short. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:05.200 I still did idiocras. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.040 It just didn't hold up. I'm very sad about it. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.000 But the moment Tommy Boy holds up, it does. 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.000 Tommy Boy holds up. Chris Farley is a legend. And 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.960 the scene with you know, Tommy wan Wingy still fantastic, like, oh, 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.960 I know it's coming, and he just destroys that dinner 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.080 roll and it's my favorite thing and I love it. 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:23.960 I can't get enough of it. All right, let's get 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.920 to the headlines. Clayton Kershaw with that shoulder is going 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.040 to make another minor league rehabit start on Friday. So, 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.360 in the words of Missus doubtfire, help is on the way, Deer. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.200 Is that possible? Like, could we be getting Clayton Kershaw 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:43.200 if he makes another rehab start today? Right? One, two, three, four, five? 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.200 We're looking at maybe what next Thursday? Could he rejoin 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.680 the rotation? That doesn't seem or by the weekend at 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.560 least it seems like Clayton Kershaw help is on the way. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:52.240 Thank you. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:53.040 It feels like we're close. 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.320 That's what I was gonna do like, don't do the line, 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:56.960 you should do the impression. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.960 Oh, darny Brown does it really well, which is actually upset. Oh, 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.240 we think nobody's impressions are good, but that actually is 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:03.840 the only good. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.320 Pit By the way, he's the worst about that. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:06.760 You're right. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.600 I did a Mike Tyson and he's like, oh, you're 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.880 Donald Duck and I'm like, no, this was a good impression. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.000 You are right. He's a hater of impression. 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.520 He he hates, so I think his ears are broken. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:17.080 I do too. 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.719 Yeah, I think Clayton Kershaw is closely lined up. The 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:25.760 Dodgers desperately need him. I'm pretty cautious about it though, 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.279 because I think obviously, like you can pick him up, 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.039 and I think he's worth picking up to hold to 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.840 see what happens. I think they're going to be really 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.160 cautious about these first couple starts. I'm not sure you're 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.039 going to see him really going deep, probably right at 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.760 five if it's an efficient game. But there is a 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.200 lot of Dodger support. I just don't know if the 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.279 stuff is still going to play. I mean, he's still 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.240 a great picture, but like we're seeing what's happening with 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:52.000 Verlander right now, Like Verlander, it's not looking as great 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.599 as it has been. Mac Scherzer's stuff more powerful than Kershaw. 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.720 I'm into it to see what happens, especially for him 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.200 to jump back in the rotation. If he's out there, 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:02.920 this is the time to go and pick him up. 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.840 But I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic with it because it 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.920 could end up being not a great thing. It could 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.159 end up being like, oh, we have to spot start 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.799 Clayton Kershaw on our fantasy lineups, you know, for home 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.040 outings or just really good you know, bad teams, like 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.800 going against the Rockies or something like that. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.680 So we'll see where it goes. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.480 But the Dodgers desperately need him, and I would pay 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:28.599 attention to how this out the next couple outings Minor 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.960 league and major league because it could really determine how 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:35.200 aggressive the Dodgers are. They have been very, very tightly 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.719 tied to the White Sox with Garrett Crochet and Luis Robert, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.520 and how Kershaw is might determine what they do. 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.080 Yeah, look, I think the Kershaw is somebody that, Yeah, 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.479 I'd be very careful with. Maybe he's a five inning 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.479 picture at this stage of his career. Maybe I say no. 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.080 I mean we're already at the end of July. We're 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.520 trying to get is you know, ten plus darts out 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:57.159 of him somewhere in there. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.640 What I mean, you know, like he's gonna go further or. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.480 He's gonna go further. I think this is his last, 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.480 you know, last hurrah. Maybe the first couple of starts 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.480 will be bathed a little bit, but I do think 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.880 by the time we turn the page to August, you 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.240 know that he will be in whatever is left in 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:14.960 that tank, you're gonna see it empty. I think this 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.200 is the last hurrah for Clayton Curse. I think he's 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.000 somebody that I think can be a fantasy contributor. I 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.800 think in the second half because he played just for 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.920 the Dodgers. Man, we just seen it a million times. 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.800 By You're not wrong about what you said that, like 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.520 this is the last hurrah. He almost retired this offseason 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.520 and they're gonna build him up. The only difference is, 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.960 like my pushback would be, I don't think it happens 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.599 by August, because August is in eleven days. Like it's 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.600 gonna take time. I think it could be by September. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.560 He's really being able to push. If he's efficient, he 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.479 could push into those longer innings. But you're right, like 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.000 they're gonna want everything they can possibly get out of him. 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.680 He's missed the whole season, so there shouldn't be really 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.320 any limited The limit will be his own stuff. But 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:53.799 I just think it might take a little bit longer 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.760 for you guys in head to head. I think that 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.560 plays well. I think he's a better head to head 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.800 option right now than he is Rodo, So I'll say 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:01.360 that that is fair. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.359 Garrett Cole is gonna start today. Also more on Garrett 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:05.880 Cole a little bit later on. So the Yankees have 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.040 set up their rotation that means Louis heel because that's 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.080 kind of the big part of this about like, okay, well, 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.600 who's coming out When Cole Cortes, Stroman wrote, don so 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.400 no surprise here. He'll getting pushed here a little bit 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.880 of a break. Now we've seen sometimes as a negative 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.640 effect they arguing to be playing the Mets. Last time 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.520 he'll face the Mets. By the way, that was not 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.360 a good situation for Louise Heal. He got blown up 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.560 in that. Would you be reticent to start him in 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.080 that start coming off that long window of break, because 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.840 we've seen a lot of guys struggle with that much 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.320 time off, and last time against the Mess was so bad. 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.160 This is a big question here because some leagues you 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.680 got to set right now and they have that overlap 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.320 week in terms of like, oh, you're not just setting 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:47.880 for this week, you're setting for the entire week. So 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.440 I wanted to patch that out with here because I 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.520 would say, you're probably going to do in a rock 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:53.960 in a hard place where you have to start him. 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.400 But if you had a lot of options in a 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:56.840 more shadow league, maybe you don't. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:58.960 I just don't think you have enough options in other 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:02.080 spots to not I would. So I did that redraft. 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.200 Remember I've told you Bogman and I we do that 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.200 league where it's like, you know, first half roto it ended, 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:11.120 and we redid the head to head draft. On Wednesday night, 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.760 I had the sixth pick drafting through my team. In 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.160 the twelfth round, I got Louise Heel. That's how scared 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.160 everybody was of Louise Heel. They let him go into 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.400 the twelfth. It is a guy that was a top fifteen, 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.880 top ten pitcher in the first half everybody scared about 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.040 those three bad starts and what could happen, you know, 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.240 getting maxed out at the end. So I jumped on it. Yes, 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.960 I think there's concern, but I'm gonna go, you know, 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.240 feet in headfirst. I'm going headfirst into the second half 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.160 with Louis Heel because it was a good start. On 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.160 the back half, there was a bit of a rest, 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.680 there was a bit of a mind reset, and I 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.160 still think the stuff is you know, it's elite fantasy 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.200 stuff with some actual command issues. But I think the 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.080 Yankees are going to put all that garbage on that 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.520 last whatever it was, two weeks behind them, and they're 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.120 gonna come out really strong out the gates. I think 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:02.640 Garret Cole is going to come out strong today and 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.640 I think Luis Heel will as well. But you know, 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.679 that's a Pollyanna mind. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.760 I guess I have a bit of Yankees. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.200 For whatever reason. Kyle Tucker, by the way, has only 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:16.840 resumed light on field baseball activities that do not include hitting. Now, 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.840 Kyle Tucker's been dealing with a bone bruise. Well, this 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:24.480 is not like a tendon issue, This is not acl MCL. 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.760 It's a bone bruise. I don't ever remember a baseball 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.240 player taking this long to recover from something like this, 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.559 And I know it's on the shin, so I get 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:34.640 that's very sensitive area. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.760 Show like tough guys anti tough guys thing you're. 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.040 Doing, it's not you know. I put Kyle Tucker on 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.199 my Fantasy All Stars and now I thought we'd be 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.200 a point where we're, okay, we're back here this weekend. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.839 He's back, but a bone bruise, Like you're right in 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.040 the thick of things here a bone bruise. Are we 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.840 still doing this, Kyle Tucker? We're talking about practice. Look, 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.040 I'm not calling Kyle Tucker out because comes for Kyle 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.320 Tucker is a wonderful guy. But a bone bruise. How 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.880 do you ever remember somebody missing this much time for that? 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:05.960 I mean, I don't pay it. I don't know if 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:06.480 I pay attend. 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.080 It's been a month Welsh. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.320 Yeah, I mean, I think the only like injuries that 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.840 ever stand out to me are like Tommy John and like, 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.960 you know, testicular fractures and stuff like that. 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.520 Like I don't like the Mariners problem. Yeah, I don't 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.480 remember they've had more testicular fractures than playoff wins. I 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.520 saw that the greatest dad ever. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.319 We got our boy Joe Rico in here, who I 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.679 kind of agree, like there's probably something a little bit 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.440 further beyond where he said probably he says, definitely a 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:34.320 hairline fracture. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.440 There might be something along those lines. 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.360 Well, that's what I'm saying. We'll call it a fracture. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.360 Like that's what I was saying too. Is it a 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.680 hairline fracture? Is it something like? But you keep calling 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:43.160 it a bone ber. 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.920 They lie about that, They lie about those things. 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.480 I do think it's weird that it seemed very like clerical, 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.480 like we're gonna just he's gonna just miss a little 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.280 bit of time. He'll be back after the break. He 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.720 seems like he's on a slower timeline than Fernando Tatis Junior, 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.520 who yesterday we got word that he had to clean 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.480 MRI and he had been already doing some swinging and 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.800 some running on the backfield. And yeah, I mean he's 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.960 Fatiste might come back before Tucker, and that is a surprise. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.320 Yeah. Apparently with that Tatisse injury showed the progress in 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.200 healing that the Padres had hoped for. End quote, and 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.319 that was with a broken femur, correct, right? Is that 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:20.360 where we were like it? 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.559 You'd be after the season if it was a broken. 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:23.160 Not broken feamer. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:23.319 It was. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.400 It was a femur. What something with the femur? I 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.520 don't know. It was a hairline fracture of the free femur? 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.600 I thought, was it. 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:31.640 Frau? I don't know. 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.520 Did you get a dollar every time you stay testicular 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:36.199 on the show today? 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:36.319 Is that? 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:37.280 Then? 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:38.920 I have two dollars, Joe, I'm rich. 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:40.760 I have a dollar or two. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:41.760 Uh. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.760 Let's talk about Jack Flaherty. He starts today the opener, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.960 so this is the audition against the Blue Jays here 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.559 for the rest of the league. That's a good way 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:52.679 to say a question. Jack Flaherty's last start for the Tigers, 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.200 yes or no? 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.600 No, this is not the last start for him, But 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.120 will he be a Tiger at the end of the year. No, 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:00.800 I mean, you think it's going to be this one 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.760 and then he's immediately traded because he would do. 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.319 I think it's this one and you put him in 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.760 bubble wrap, and I think somebody's gonna come knock in 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.360 next week. Okay, I think you know what I know 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.240 some teams don't wait for the break, and Flaherty could 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.680 be that guy that's you know, he doesn't have the 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.080 track record like you're waiting for Zach Gallon or you're 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.800 waiting for this one. If you're smart, you pounce on 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.080 a guy like Flaherty who came out of nowhere this year. 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:23.640 You can get him cheaper, you can get him before 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.679 everybody else. And there's there's a marketplace where people are 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.400 still like, is this really for real? When it comes 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.040 to Jack Flarerty, that to me is what's hoping that. 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:33.880 I agree with that. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.880 I've been preaching this for three weeks. Guys have got 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.680 to get more aggressive. These teams have to get more aggressive. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.200 But the I think it was the Mariners or Banners 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.160 or Padres. There was a report out that's saying like 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.040 they want to be involved in a trade they envision 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.600 I think it was the Mariners. They envision that the 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.200 only trade they're going to be involved is is going 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.760 to be a dynamic, impactful trade. But they said that's 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.480 not available there in the market. Everyone's holding tight. No 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.640 one wants to do anything, but Flarity is one of 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.040 the few pitchers. Flerty and Fetti and Garrett Crochet. Those 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.800 are the probably the three that I think are the 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:12.200 most accessible, and everybody's vying for a starting pitcher. Baltimore 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.719 should be aggressively trying to go get Jack Flaherty right now. 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.720 So to your point, if he goes out and dominates today, 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.800 a team should go and make that call. I just 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.240 think these teams are trying to hold it as tight 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.679 as possible. Unless he goes out and throws out a 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.520 freaking gym, I think. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.400 They bombs, then it's not his last start. But if 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.880 he looks anything like Jack Flaherty of the first half, if. 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.959 He strikes out ten and go seven, yeah, you know what, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.200 they probably are done and they're going to make that trade. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:38.800 You're right. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.439 Jiam Marco has a question about Kevin Gosman mister Assevedo. 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.679 Yesterday's show, we did a whole breakdown on Gosmin, So 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:47.720 I just want to point you there, go listen to 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.320 that show from yesterday because I don't want to repeat 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.680 ourselves for the audience joining us today, but we did it. Also, 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.800 Lee has a request. Lee is an og here of 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.400 the show. Lee wants me to say the word testicular 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.959 and Christopher Russo voice that's something you support. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.120 Uh. My name is Chris Welson. I approve this message. 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:09.440 All right, here we go, So Welsh, would you tell me? 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:13.480 Is the testicular problem with the with the way that 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.360 the Blue Jays and the marin of the Gay together 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.800 with the testicular fortitude of these two teams, it's unbelievable, 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:20.040 It's crazy. 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.120 Can we get like the hair? Like I need a russa, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.440 I need like the hair and I need the whole road? 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.200 That's that's what yea? How many times were can fee 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.640 the finger right here? Criff? I don't want to understand it. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:38.720 It is. Derek Brown would hate that, but I think 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:39.400 it's amazing. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.280 Derek Brown hates it. I want to talk about this too. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.920 Kyle Harrison a picture that we had high expectations for 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.680 coming into the year. Uh, he's gonna be back kicking 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.120 around today. Curious about this start? What you have to 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:51.680 say about it? 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:52.360 Uh? 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.560 Five runs, nine hits, five games, five walks, over eight 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.440 and two thirds in the last two starts. So it's 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.320 been shaky lately. Do you think Kyle Harrison is a 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:06.320 fantasy asset or a fantasy albatross the rest of the season. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.360 I would lean Albatross. If I had to pick one 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:14.040 k percentage took a four percent dip this year. His 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.280 expected dray is almost five. It's almost a full run 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.360 higher than where it's at. And you know, I love 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.080 barrel percentage for hitters, and you see double digits and 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.080 you're like, let's go. This guy's trending. Cayle Harrison is 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:30.400 giving up a ten point three percent barrel percentage right now, 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.280 which is atrocious. His fastball batting average three hundred against, 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.600 change up, slurve, slider, all three hundred against. I said 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.440 fastball was two fifty against. I'm sorry the others three six, 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.920 three h two and three thirty three just giving up 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.800 way too much contact. You got Robbie Ray that's coming up. 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.680 Alex Cobb just did a rehab assignment. I think Kyle 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.520 Harrison is going to get a boot from this, and 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.480 even if he doesn't, he'll get a boot from my 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:56.560 fantasy team this year. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.560 Yeah, I got Robbie Ray coming back that That is 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.120 definitely something where you know the spots might get a 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.920 little tighter here. Yet Snell just came back to he's 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:06.000 gonna have to pitch for his life. 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.400 I'm kind of where you are, by the way Snell 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.880 has been at what I was encouraged by that last start. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.480 I actually think the last start was very good. 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.600 Might be a really good by time on Snell before 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.560 he starts stacking a couple of good starts. 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.200 Wonky Penguin trolling me in our slack chat, by the way, 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.640 talking about how Blake Snell has two cy youngs and 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.560 Nolan Ryan has none. And I think what today was 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.880 some kind of anniversary of his seventh no hitter or 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.800 something like that when he was forty four years old, 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.840 just like just to make me mad. I love No 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.840 One Ryan. I saw No One Ryan pitches second to 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.160 last game, and it was in Camon Yards, first time 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.800 I'd ever been to Cammo Yards, and I kid you not, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.720 it was it was an electric atmosphere. Everybody still had 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.680 real cameras, so every pitch he threw, the entire ballpark 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.680 was lighting up with flashbulbs. That's one thing you don't 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.000 get anymore that it's hard to describe to anybody what 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.400 that's like. And I mean every pitch and I was 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.360 sitting in the upper field level, but Welsh the sound 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.840 of the pop of them every time he threw a 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.320 pitch was unbelievable, Like you like, this guy's throwing ninety 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.320 eight ninety like he's throwing gas before people were throwing 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:09.840 gases commonly as they do now. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.480 Yeah, I know that sound. This though, reminds me. This 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.600 is like, yeah, you are like the you are calling 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.600 cowhard right now. To when he interviewed Derek Jeter and 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.160 I'm Derek Jeter. You remember where he was like, so, Derek, 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.320 you were in the Nolan Ryan era and Jeter was 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.760
