I'm Greg Sosmen, joined today as we are 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.920 each and every day during the g PM at one pm, 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.240 our by the Closer, Chris, Chris, what's up? What's up? 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:10.280 It's your boy the Closer um talking a little baseball today. 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:18.959 I love baseball, Baseball so old school pasball. I love 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.600 that when Venture does the lean back thing, he automatically 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.919 puts his hands out too, like he's like he's sucking something. 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.880 It's like, you know, muscle memory by you know what 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:33.360 I'm saying. Rockies today post poem because of snow the 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:39.720 snow in Colorado and the rock expected expected Yeah, which 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:45.119 sucks because forrest Field was basically the turnaround that Ronald 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:51.200 Lacuna needed breaking back to back days. Umm, who knows. 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:52.320 Maybe you would have made it a third if you 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.920 got a chance to play today, but unfortunately that game 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.320 is snowed out. Also unfortunate, a lot of aces got 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.440 rocked last night, Yes, including your boy Luke CAZy well 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.880 him too, or man Marquez or man Marquez. First, starting 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.560 corps Field is what we talked about. This is what 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.760 we talked about. Greg. First. She starts on the road. Great, 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:16.679 great starts Tampa Bay, Miami, Fine, in Miami, Atlanta in 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:22.400 coorse Field. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's gonna only start 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.120 her Manez when he's on the road. I mean, right now, 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.280 I guess you'd say, trying not to start in for 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.480 one start in a weekly when he's at home against 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:36.160 a pretty decent hitting team. Three, well, he's your SP three, 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.720 he's most people's SP three, Like normally my SP three, 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:45.400 my top three. Guys. I want to listen, maybe maybe 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.359 four or five years ago, your SP one, two and three. 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.560 You're there in there every game because there's there's a 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.200 lot of great pitches. There's not that many good pitches anymore. 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:54.760 You have sp one sp two of the ones that 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.720 stick in your line up, s P three. Not always 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.919 semantics for this guy. Not if Marquez is your s 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.160 be too. And he screwed up in the draft. Yeah, 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.519 then he screwed up in the draft. Um, I don't know. 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.760 I mean, listen, I would be careful with him on 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.239 at home against teams like the Dodgers, things like that. 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.160 He was against the Braves. It's a good lineup and 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.880 we had six swinging strikes, so obviously didn't have it 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.919 scared up a few balls. Dancey Swanson hit him for 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.280 a three run bomb. How about Dancy Swanson? Man, We 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.840 spoke about him on Monday with Modica. But he's up 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.680 to four home runs. I believe he has has fifteen ribbies. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.160 He's post type, post her mom. Mark hensually had two 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.400 strikeouts yesterday, which is which is annoying to me. At 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.760 least straight guys out of here gonna get bombed. Max 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.920 Free struck out more guys and allowed zero earned runs 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:44.280 on the day. Six innings, five boy, my boy. We 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.840 were talking about him for months now, and we spoke 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.520 about this yesterday. I thought he was gonna end up 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.400 getting rocked in Coors Field. But you know, this Rocky's 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.960 lineup is not what it normally is. Obviously they're missing 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.840 David dal They're missing Daniel Murphy. They had had a 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.920 few guys in there last night, Like I know, they 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:06.040 had to call up Zadaza as their right field You say, yeah, 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.400 not then Daza was leading off of the Rocky, so 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.040 you know it wasn't there was certainly wasn't there a lineup. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.520 And they also had Josh Flentas in the lineup, which 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.039 is interesting because why didn't they just use Mark Reynolds 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:22.200 against lefty and do But isn't it funny how like 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.840 the beginning of the season, how things could fall putzo fast. 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.480 This offense looked like one of the best offenses and 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.120 then you you get a couple of injuries and the 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.360 whole thing falls apart and doesn't have a home run 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.720 yet either, So people might be freaking out about that too, 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.000 But no, man, Max Freed was awesome. Max Freed was awesome. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.880 Six innings, one run, it was unearned, five hits, one walk. 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.240 So it gives you the one point zero zero whip 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.520 flat against the Rockies lineup, Like, I don't really care 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.640 who's in the Rockies lineup. When you're pitching in Coors Field, 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.600 it's tough. You only had four strikeouts. That's kind of 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.040 in the case. The pass two starts, the swinging strikes 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.840 haven't necessarily been there. And he's predominantly a two pitch pitcher. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:01.960 You know what I say about two pitch pitchers. I 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.400 don't normally buy in again last night with Freddy Peraltas. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.800 But here's what I'll say regarding Max Freed and why 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.360 it might be a little bit different is because his 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:15.839 two pitches are fastball curveball, and they might be able 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:20.039 to work greg because his four steamer averages ninety four 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.040 point two miles per hour, whereas his max fastball hit 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.080 ninety seven. So this is the guy that could hit 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.360 ninety seven. He could get up there. He lives in 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.760 the mid nineties. His curveball is a big hook. It's 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:36.640 seventy five. Here's a twenty mile per hour difference between 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.799 his fastball and his curveball. Now, he still might struggle 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.320 because he only throws two pitches, and if he hangs 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.240 a curveball and someone's sitting on it, then they're gonna 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.560 tag him. He only threw six change up yesterday. I 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.040 would love to see, you know, more of the change 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.159 up he had once swing strike on the changeup he's got. 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:52.720 I would love to see him work that in more. 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.280 But it might be it might be able to work 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:56.800 a little bit more than let's say a guy like 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.680 Freddy Parlton, because Freddie paltis his fast. Maybe he gets 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:05.600 up too, but most of the time he's and you 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.880 see him last night he gets rocked. Angels p balls 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.839 like seventies seven, seventy eight miles per hour. So there's 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.280 a difference there, but it's not a twenty difference. So 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.760 to me, Max Freed could be a better version of 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:24.320 Freddy Peralta. Preddy Peralta is tough to trust because as 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.840 a stream this week because the Angels lineup is really 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.920 not that good. It is, yeah, exactly outside of Trout. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.920 It doesn't really scare me. No, it's not the bottom 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.479 of that lineup. It's not good and they haven't been 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.360 hitting anyway. But they give up two home runs to 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.080 Timmy Listello last night. This is who Freddy Peralta is. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:38.719 If you want to take the good with the bad, 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.120 you're gonna get some really good good, you're gonna get 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:43.560 some really bad bad. And you know how much I 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.840 paid for him. To remember, I showed you that the 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.960 fab I spent fred Peralta. I also thought he had 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.640 two starts this week. I think he got pushed back 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.880 to Monday for his next He's gonna have two starts 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:58.480 next week, right, I spent eighteen dollars out of Pitching 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.480 is hard to come by, though. Pitching is very hard 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.880 to come by, so people just spend a ton of 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.640 money on and I don't care about sending my fab. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.080 I one of those people that will spend this fab 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.360 very early in the season. I don't care. You can 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.840 make zero dollar bids in my league, so it doesn't matter. Um, 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.000 I want to have a team set and established within 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.600 the first month of the season. I want the main 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.160 parts of my team established. And I'm not gonna drop 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.160 Freddy PEARLTA because I know what he could give me. 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.400 You know, even if he does get rock withs in 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.440 a while. I mean, Luke CAZy, that's the case, and 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:28.920 you just gotta leave him in for the good and 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.360 the bad. Well and when when in the head to 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.600 head league he's gonna have weeks where he can help 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.560 you win, the reason you win if he was amazing, 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.640 and then you're gonna get a few starts like yesterday, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.120 because look, this is what I'm talking about, Craig. Yesterday 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:47.280 two pitches, seventy of them were the fastball, seventy and 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.880 it's ninety one seven miles per hour on average. Like 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.480 that's the difference. And next free at least he sprinkles 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.560 in a few other pitches as well, like Freddy Parla 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.720 through seven chains up yesterday, but seventy fastballs and only 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.680 fifteen curveballs. At least, you know, Max Freed's fastball to 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:06.360 curveball ratio is more like fifty fastballs and like thirty curves. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.360 This is seventy fastballs and fifteen curveballs. It's hard for 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.160 you to be a picture in the MLB when you 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.680 throw at seven mile fastball on average and throw it 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.840 seventy pitches out of ninety two, Greg, where are you 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.560 stand on Parla? You convinced me last week We had 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.320 a pearl of the conversation, right we were talking about 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.920 where he fell in and I was like, he's pretty good, 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.800 and you were very, very hard on this. Two pitch things. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.320 He described it. Well, you've sold me as I tried 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.000 to sell you and Jordan's Erman. You have sold me 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.240 on Freddie PEARLTI on being out on Freddie Parli, saying 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.200 he told me I actually sold you on selling Right, 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.280 you showed me being out on Freddie Parl. Correct, I'm sorry, No, No, 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.280 it's fine. Listen, I'm gonna hold him. I'm gonna play him. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.920 Match up. What bass you know it's weekly league. This 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.560 was a good matchup though, right, this is I didn't 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.360 work out him. This was supposed to be a good matchup, 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.839 and it's it's frustrating. Sometimes you gotta take risks when 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.760 you're back in the rotation. One more note here on 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.000 the Braves Rockies are getting in Milwaukee in a second, 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.000 and they're in CRT and Josh Donaldson. About one in 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.520 two in this lineup, one's batting one seventy nine, the 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.599 other ones batting four. You mentioned Dan's by Swanson and 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:15.880 Azzi albs. They've had seven, six and se in this lineup. Well, 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.160 Swanson moved ahead of him. Correct, I'll be has been 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.200 ripping anyway. I don't know why. We see some maneuvering here. Frank, 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:27.680 you think potentially that could happen. But look, I'm worried 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.200 about Donaldson thing I would you were always I think 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.360 I had him rent as in my seventeen eighteen third basement. 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.120 It's early on in the season. I understand that right now, 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:38.880 this guy looks like a shell of his former self, 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.760 and he just he doesn't look good. I don't think 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.839 he's horrible, but I think you're right, he's not the 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.960 same guy he was. He was elite their basement, Azzie. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.599 I'll be like, what I want to look into with 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:55.839 Albi's is normally he struggles against right handed pitching. That's 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.559 why he bats low in the lineup against right He's 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.360 even though he's a switch hitter. Right if you look 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.320 back at his Mind League days, he Alway struggled against 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.559 right into pitching was much better against lefties. So that's 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.040 why he leads off for the Braves line up when 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:09.160 they go up against lefties. And so far in the year, well, actually, 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.280 I'm looking at last year's numbers. I don't know why 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.959 I would do that. En splits, he's hitting four or 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:19.880 seventeen against lefties. Okay, bets, he's hitting against right so 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.200 he's hitting well against both that I think it wouldn't 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.000 surprise me if n CRT it continues to struggle. Maybe 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.439 Ozzi Albis moves up to lead off against both rights 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.199 and lefties. Should be beautiful, certainly seems possible. But for 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.880 ender in CRT, let me see the expected batting average 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:38.079 one sixty latest on what one seventy nine back. We 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.719 said during the day that David Dallas placed on the 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.560 I L and that remember Rye gonna get the start 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.280 every day in left field, that a second in dollars 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.000 spot struck out three times. Dal said he thinks he 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.160 probably only needed like a couple of days, but they 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.599 didn't want to play shorthanded for the days that he 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.439 would needed. He expects to come off the d L 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.480 right when he's Eligi in ten days. Good, we all hope, 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.240 so very very much. Sound. We hope you mentioned Freddy 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.840 Peralta and what he did against the Angels last night. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.800 It wasn't very good at all. The seven runs in 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.360 three and the third eight hits struck out five. On 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.160 the other side, Matt Harvey also got destroyed four and 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.319 the third seven hits to six runs. I don't get 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:17.839 the people that are like back on the Harvey's train 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.959 going in this year. I didn't get that at all 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.720 him anywhere anywhere. Something I've noticed is that the swinging 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.400 strikes are actually still there. And actually had a buddy 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.520 of mine text me like, oh, well, you always tweet 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.960 out the swinging strikes. Well, why does Matt Harvey swinging 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.080 strikes matter if he's getting blown up all the time? 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.559 And my response was it doesn't. Well, normally, you know, 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.920 if you're getting this many swinging strikes, they're predictive of 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.600 strikeouts in the future, which means less contact. So if 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.720 hitters aren't making as much contact, then there's less opportunity 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.240 for them to mash against you. But Harvey has just 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.840 been so bad that even with an up taking swinging strikes, 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.760 when they're making contact with him, it's still going a 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.839 long way and looks say what you want, but I 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.120 think the juice ball is back two years ago. Had 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.160 to juice ball. There was forty eight home runs hit 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:06.440 last night in baseball alone, Tommy Lastella two of those, 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.000 and this was in Anaheim. This game was in Anaheim, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:14.000 where normally regarded as it trends more towards a picture 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.920 to say a little bit of a ballpark. It's kind 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.160 of neutral, but friends a little bit more towards being 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.199 a pictures park. You get two homers from Tommy Lostella 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.679 from last night, you get mood stock Is Dinger, you 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.160 get grand Doll with two home runs. We expect home 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.640 runs from those guys, but I mean Lostella two home runs, 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.920 three home runs over the past two games. The juice 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.240 ball is back? Or could it? Could it be the 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.400 fact that everybody's buying into launch angle and maybe it 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:41.440 went from league using that approach to maybe like now 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.480 or now like like these guys who never really produced 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.480 before and on the bench coming off the bench like 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.440 Lostella implementing it because maybe he realizes it will help 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.880 him become an everyday player. You know, that's a good question, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.280 and I'm gonna look it up right now. So league 0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:00.400 stats for this season bad and ball data for eyeball 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.960 rate for the average of the league is thirty six 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:10.360 point eight percent. Last season, fly ball rate for all 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:15.120 of baseball was thirty five point four So something crazy. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.040 It's weird, and it's weird. It's cold. It's cold that 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.640 you think the ball would stay in the right So 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.080 like there's so many home runs being hit like last 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.240 night in City Field. I understand the wind was blowing out, 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.040 so that probably factored into it. But it was pretty 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.080 cold last night in New York. It's been cold every 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.439 like for the most part. Outside of Anaheim and the 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:41.160 Dodgers and UM and places like that and domes like 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.719 in the north, it's still really cold. The ball is 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:47.360 still forming out, so we could potentially see a lot 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.120 of bad pitching performance this year and a huge uptick 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.199 in home runs RBIs batting average. When we get back 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.880 from breaking no we have a break coming up, we'll 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.560 talk about some of these other aces that got rock 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.440 Strasburg Nola hasn't been himself to start the year yourself, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.440 So yesterday was the day where you know, aces overall 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.480 just got rocked once again. As you mentioned one quick 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.040 other opinion I have it might be crazy and I 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:13.040 don't know, but maybe people have found a new steroid 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:18.920 for themselves that is undetectable. At one point there was 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.640 a there was a steroid way. You could wipe it, 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.440 you know, on your skin, and it was undetectable and 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.600 like an h G H. It was like Gary Sheffield 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.040 back in the day he used the cream. Yeah, like 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.520 somebody a few guys used to cream, so maybe that 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.680 you know, sometimes they're ahead of you know, us in 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.880 determining what steroids are being used. Maybe there's a new steroid. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.320 You don't know. These guys could be taken steroids, especially 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.920 the ones that aren't getting paid, like Tommy Lastella. Nobody 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.800 knows for sure. That definitely could be the case. I 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:50.440 think Rob Manford is basically, dude, we we gotta get 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.120 people in seats. We want people watching. Won't people talking 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.200 about baseball? How do you get people talking about baseball? 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.120 You see these guard gangs win home runs, walk off 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.520 home runs, home runs in big moments. Most people, I'll 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.840 say most. You know, there's some that's still like pitchers duels, 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:08.600 and that's fine. I like I like a good pitchers 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.760 duel every now and then. Most people like to see action, 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.040 you know, they want to see balls hit a mile, 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.560 especially when it surprised me. If Rob Manford said before 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.720 the season, go back to these juice balls two years ago, 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.160 it wouldn't surprise. Let's tighten those balls up a little bit, 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.000 you know, right, and you know in the middle, uh 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.240 anything else. So the annuals game, I mentioned that Trout 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.640 got hurt in it. I doesn't expects to play today, 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.800 expects to play on a Friday. The next game, Andy 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.520 Simmons went three for five, thankfully, Johnny Luke Roid went 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.720 super three. You mentioned tim In Lostellas Myny ground out 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.800 two bombs last night and going three for four, batting 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:45.360 three sixty four on the year. Travis Shaw has Aguilar 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.280 both go over four over five, still batting under two 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.080 hundred bulls of them disgusting. And Mike Mustakas, here's a 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.360 big note game the Bruise with their twelfth game yesterday, 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.920 Mustakas have believe is now qualified at second base. Was 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:04.160 the day Mustakis and Mankata both got respectively. Mustakis got 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.120 second base, Mankada got so interesting to note the players 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.840 like you, Chris and ESPN, they need to wait those 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.760 ten games you got him last night. It's perfect. Travis 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:15.640 Shaw looking into the numbers here on the season, Greg 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.440 thirty three person strike out right like that worries me 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.080 a little bit more recording him. Whereas Agar is making 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.120 more contact this year, more than ever before, He's striking 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.320 out less than ever before, and he's still hitting the 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.000 ball hard. So I feel a little bit than do 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.160 Travis Shaw, who right now has a thirty three percent 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.240 hard hit rate. You don't really have anything to hang 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.400 your hat on. He's still hitting the ball hard until 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.680 hitting in the air. That's Travis Shaw. But striking off 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.000 at a third of the time, it's it's very bad. Yeah. Now, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.040 I would definitely say, aguilar, I think this is a 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.360 little flukey. He's gonna be, you know, streaky. But you 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.520 don't think that was saw No. I was never a 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.080 sure guy. I think that he was always a fluke. Uh. 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.120 And then he lasted a longer than I thought as 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.960 a productive player. But I think he reached his max 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.880 potential these last few years. But I don't think though, 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.400 to get thirty home runs the past two seasons, it's 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.760 not bad six ribbies think when I was kind of 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.679 off on this year because I worry about the splits. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.560 I'm a big splits guy, Greg. I want my guys 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:13.800 to be in the lineup every day and to be 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.480 able to perform. And Travis Shaw was just so brutal 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.160 against lefties that that was something that I worried about. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.080 Now we got the strikeouts too, We'll take a break, 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.400 we'll come back. What's going to all these aces. We'll 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:29.560 try to let you know next. Maid Sailors is the 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.720 leading cleaning service in New York City and Boston.

Frank 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.159 Stamp for Chris vent Struck, Greg Sussman here with you, 0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:00.240 hanging out on the BFFs on a Wednesday. Frank, I 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:04.159 was talking before about the lead and the Jordan's Simmerman stuff, 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:06.919 but maybe the true lead which we are getting down 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:11.280 our number two is Chris Sale. And we talked yesterday 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.119 about what Alex core had to say. Right he was 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.000 two days ago now, but what Alex Corp had to 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.240 say about, Oh, Chrissell was sick? I was like, I 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:19.879 was like, no, what I mean if you would have 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:21.560 told us right after the start, maybe even not like 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:26.920 five days later? Was he uh sick? Yesterday? Again? Was 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.040 did you have a cold? Did you have a fever? 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.720 Was his stomach bothering him? Because yesterday against Toronto Blue 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:34.280 Jays in the home opener of Boston, he went four 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:38.560 innings on seven hits, five runs, three strikeouts. Would you 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:42.000 see from Chris Sell? So what I saw was early 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:48.119 on in the start he was hitting. He had a 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.679 max pitch of ninety four point eight eight miles per 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:55.200
