60
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: maybe three times in the last five or six. Games

61
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: like he's been just absolutely mashing the ball and he's

62
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: been good, already but, uh four hovers in four games

63
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: is like worthy of, mentioned, So, Hey meddleson's red, hot

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: that's What it's always funny he.

65
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: Is, YEAH i man HIS i Mean brays fans know

66
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: by now obviously he's been on the team for four years,

67
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: now but his heaters are as he can get as

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: hot as, anybody and you, know twenty twenty, three he

69
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: was basically on a heater for the whole. Season but

70
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: he goes. Crazy AND i was looking it up BECAUSE

71
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: i was curious because he did have this weird power

72
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: outage or at least not power but home run outage

73
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: early in the. Season SO i looked it. Up so

74
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: From may twenty fifth To august twenty, fifth which is three,

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: months which is half the baseball, SEASON i think it's

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: almost four hundred played appearances he had in that, stretch

77
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: he had seven. Homers so over a three month, stretch

78
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: hit seven. Homers in the last three weeks Since august

79
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: twenty fifth to, now the last three, weeks he's hit eight.

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: Homers so, like the dude can go on some crazy.

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: Heaters and you, know we talked about it. Before it's

82
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: been kind of a weird year with the entire offense

83
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: and kind of a lack of homers and you, Know

84
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: Marcel azuna has an homer in a, month and you,

85
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: know for a long, Time olsen's like twenty two to

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: twenty three homers led the. Team now he's up to

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: like twenty six twenty. Seven but it's just really good to.

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: SIDE i really want to see the homers come back

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: to the. Offense we've talked about it a. LOT i

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: think it's a very critical part of the offense that

91
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: has gone, missing and it it really helps to have

92
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: homers when you have streaky, hitters because you just don't

93
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: need seven or eight guys hitting when you're hitting, homers

94
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: you don't need. That and that's that's the KEY i

95
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: think The braves need moving into next, year got to

96
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: get more. Homers it obviously starts With, Olsen acuny And.

97
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: Riley so Watching olsen And acunya kind of get hot

98
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks with homers has been

99
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: a tremendous.

100
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: DEVELOPMENT i, Agree and you know we've covered so many

101
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: times how twenty twenty four was a down offensive, season

102
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: particularly compared to the previous, year which was the ultimate

103
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: of high. Highs but even, then to your putting my home,

104
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: runs The braves finished fourth in the majors in home

105
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: runs in twenty twenty, four even in a down season

106
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: for their, offense they hit home. Runs the way they

107
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: that they built this, team they have to hit home.

108
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: Runs it's not. Negotiable and coming into tonight they were,

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: FIFTEENTH i think in home. Runs and that's not, like you,

110
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: know they're not dead, last but fifteenth is really bad

111
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: for the way this team is. Constructed they have to

112
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: hit home. Runs and you, know maybe you could Say

113
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: olson as what Just olsen has been the literally the

114
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: best Person bace been in baseball this, year you would

115
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: hope for maybe thirty five to forty for him versus twenty,

116
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: six twenty. Seven like that's fair to put out, there

117
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: but he's not alone to your, point like it's everyone's

118
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: got to hit home, runs and basically no one has

119
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: had like an above average home run season for what

120
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: they could be in the. Future Like ronnie you, know

121
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: has was out for a, while all the, Things, Oh

122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: zuona's power went. Away riley's been below what you would

123
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: hope for him power, Wise LIKE i.

124
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: HAVEN'T i haven't looked it. UP i guarantee you every

125
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: single player on the, TEAM i think every single player

126
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: on the team hit the under whatever they're over under

127
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: was at the beginning of the. Year For homer's, HIT

128
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: i guarantee you every SINGLE.

129
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean other Than, Baldwin Like, baldwin right Baal one's

130
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: got sixteen and one hundred and thirteen games as a,

131
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: Rookie like that's obviously.

132
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: That came out of. Nowhere, yeah, good the main, guys.

133
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: But, yeah every everybody. ELSE i, mean maybe you could Say, harris,

134
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: Ironically harris has seventeen that's probably like about what you

135
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: would have expected for, him maybe twenty ish for him

136
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: for the. Season but everybody else is pretty clearly under

137
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: what they were, of Including, alson who's been the best

138
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: player of a team this. Year so, yeah a weird,

139
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: story but we'll come back to that later. On but

140
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: it's just worth emphasizing on a day like On monday

141
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: would have hit a bunch of home. Runs there's even after,

142
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: that there's there's still fifteen to sixteen in majors and home,

143
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: runs and that's. Sustainable you Mentioned. Akunya he looks back

144
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: LIKE i was never worried About. Acunya but like after

145
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: all of the discourse and certain people i. E me

146
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: ranting about batting more spots and. Things he looks Like Ronald.

147
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: Acunya like the last five six, GAMES i think HE'S

148
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: i think he's been on base like ten times and

149
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: has a couple of homers and, doubles and like he

150
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: looks Like. Ronald like, AGAIN i was never. Worried were

151
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: you worried at all any? Point BECAUSE i don't think you?

152
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: Work but, NO i mean when you when you go

153
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: when we go back and, look it's gonna end up

154
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: being like a ten game sample of like when he

155

Speaker 2: most like twelve game sample of him being. Bad just

159

Speaker 2: or get away with is when we talk about players

167
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,480

187
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,760

188
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,080

189
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: even ever approached someone that is if you were like

190
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: working off of reporting that was being.

191
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: Done, yeah you better have something like you better have yeah.

192
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Exactly it's not like just you, know watching a guy

193
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: ON tv and decided he doesn't care one, Day like

194
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of. Silly it does happen and always WILL

195
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: i think. Happen but you're you're. RIGHT i, mean The

196
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: ryans particularly a funny one because why everyone's accounts who

197
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: knows the guy he like lives and breathes. Baseball this

198
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: is the guy like he's TAKING bp like In, November like.

199
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: He doesn't field in like venezuel like he spaends his

200
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: entire life on the baseball, field.

201
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: Right the guy just loves to play baseball and. Hit

202
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: and it's that's it's a really funny. One this is

203
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: not every once in a while you got a guy

204
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: like that's you does love doesn't love, baseball and that

205
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: kind of tells you, That Like anthony run it was

206
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: the one everyone always points to because he kind of

207
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: like admits that it's like, baseball, Right but that's him

208
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: saying it out, loud, right he said It that's why

209
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: we know because he said. It, everybody the baseline assumption

210
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: should always be that these guys really like what they

211
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: do because they're professional athletes and they will be invested

212
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: in so.

213
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: And not only. THAT i think some of The braves

214
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: problems the last two years on offense is that they

215
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: care so. MUCH i think they've gotten in their. Heads, like,

216
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: Uh Kevin seitzer talked about this when he. Left he was,

217
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: like they just they all got in their. Heads they

218
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: want to do it so badly that they became a mental.

219
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,440

253
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: we should at least much a Special strider who PITCHED

254
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: i thought quite well On. Monday uh seven, innings allow one,

255
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: run starcout. Six that's his fourth, straight like solid to good,

256
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: start and over that time he's allowed seven runs in

257
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: his last twenty five, innings which is like an era

258
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: and a load of mid two is like, nothing you, know.

259
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Ridiculous but after like some, panic we'll use that word About.

260
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: Strider he's not something throwing a hundred, again that's not.

261
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: Happening but you're seeing some little, shifts little, adjustments and

262
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: he has figured it, out at least in the short.

263
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Term another guy THAT i wasn't worried, about BUT i

264
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: think there was more concern and reasonable concern About. Strider

265
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: it's not all fixed, now but four starts in a

266
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: row where he's at least competitive or better is a good.

267
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: Sign it feels like it's definitely better than the. Alternative,

268
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: yeah so you, always you, know especially with the guy

269
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 2: who very clearly needs to make, adjustments watching him make

270
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: adjustments and then have success off of those adjustments is

271
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: a big. DEAL i don't know how many of these

272
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: minor adjustments he's made are going to be part of

273
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: his game in twenty twenty. SIX i think he's gonna

274
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: get to the offseason and that's where he's gonna do

275
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: a majority of his. Work but, yeah it's just good

276
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: to see him have any sort of. Success we've talked

277
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: About sean AND i have talked about it a, bunch

278
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: about how he's changed his pitch, mix you, know from

279
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: a sixty percent fastball usage guy down at some points

280
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: down to like a thirty five percent fastball usage. Guy

281
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: a lot more, sliders a lot more, curveballs more. Changeups

282
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 2: he's having to pitch a little more than he's ever had.

283
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: To you know that a lot of guys have to

284
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 2: when they throw a. Hundred so, yeah it's just good

285
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: to see and get him healthy to the. Offseason of,

286
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,360

00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Panic but unfortunately For rookie of The year, purposes he

308
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: tied that kind of. Poorly he kind of broke out of.

309
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: It the last couple of. Days he had three hits

310
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: and a homer On, monday he had a pinch hit

311
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: double this quarter run, tonight et. Cetera he's been good

312
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: now forast couple of, days AND i was having a

313
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: great season as we started. Recording, However drake was the biggest.

314
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: Underdog he had been in the betting market For rookie

315
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: of The year in several. Weeks our friends At DraftKings

316
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: Have Kate horton at least as of five minutes, ago

317
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: at minus two to, eighty which is a pretty big.

318
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: Favorite nothing, crazy but it's been more of a coin

319
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: flip in the market for like a long time, now

320
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: and Now horton is like the. Favorite and that's mostly

321
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: to do With, horton which you pointed out to, Me

322
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: So i'll throw it to. You But, baldwin you know

323
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: nothing he really did wrong er than having a mini.

324
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: Slump but he might have to like kind of go

325
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: nuts or gets one blow up or something From, horton

326
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: because right NOW i think if the voting closed, today

327
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: he might be into.

328
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: Trouble, YEAH i, mean you just got to give. CREDIT i, mean,

329
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: Kid horton has given. Up he's pitched sixty INNINGS i

330
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: think in the second half and given up six earned

331
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: runs for a team that's in a playoff, spot and,

332
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: like these are big innings and so they're you, know

333
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: under a, microscope and you know they don't have like

334
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: The cubs don't have like your traditional like front line

335
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: starting pitching that a lot of playoff teams. Have like

336
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: they're doing it with kind of guts and relatively new.

337
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: Guys and he's just been. Awesome And drake did go

338
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: into a slump for about two. Weeks it's hard to

339
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: call it a slump with two just like a, coon you, like,

340
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: yeah two weeks is hard to. Call it's, baseball it's gonna.

341
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: Happen but when you're in a neck and Neck rookie

342
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: of The year race with a dude who's basically been

343
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: shoving since The All star, break that two weeks literally

344
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: might be the. Difference and obviously he had a really you,

345
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: know he's had a good series In. Washington but it

346
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: would be nice If Kate horton could go out and

347
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: maybe have some some stinkers.

348
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: At least have one at. Someone, Yeah, like it is,

349
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: frustrating especially as a process driven podcast that we tend to,

350
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: Be Like Kate HORTON'S fip is like. Four, Yeah LIKE

351
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: i don't Think Kate, horton with due respect to, him

352
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: is like the level of picture that he should be

353
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: carrying a two point six. Era his fundamentals don't indicate.

354
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: That but For rookie of The year, purposes it's not

355
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: gonna that doesn't. Matter like maybe for a for some

356
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: voters it might, Matter but on the, WHOLE i think

357
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: people are gonna see two right. Now he has a

358
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: two point six cra on a good. Team Drake balwin

359
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: at least for some voters could be punished some by

360
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: The braves being. BAD i find that very very silly

361
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: for almost any, award but Especially rookie of The. Year it's,

362
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: like what's he supposed to do to fix? That but

363
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: you know how this? Works ste even like some some

364
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: voters somewhere is, like, well this guy's in a playoff.

365
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: Team check the box For Kate. Horton so it's still relatively,

366
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: close not like it's, over But horton doing this late

367
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: if He If horton closes with The Saint mira he

368
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: has now let's say he has two or three more

369
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: starts and he has the Same ira he has, NOW

370
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: i think it's going to.

371
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: Lose, yeah and, listen there's only ten, games eleven eleven

372
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: or ten or eleven.

373
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: GAME i THINK i think it'll probably be two more

374
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: starts For, horton so he.

375
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: Only has two more. Stars, so AND i haven't looked

376
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: at their. SCHEDULE i think they have The mets at some.

377
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: Point BUT i was so gad up to talk about

378
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: The mets On sunday With scott and they finally won

379
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: the game that. Day they were on this massive losing

380
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: streak AND i was, like, oh it was on my

381
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: notes and then they, won SO i didn't bring it.

382
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: Up you, know it was it's been fun to sweat

383
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: The mets and The.

384
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: Giant The giants lost and The mets, won so, yeah that.

385
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: Sucked BUT i DO i THINK i think The, cubs

386
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: AND i think The mets still have to play The.

387
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: Cubs might be the only reason why it's Not maybe

388
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: we're not going crazy in. This The cubs playoff odds

389
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: are like ninety nine point nine, percent like they're. In,

390
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: yeah so they may not have to be powered with

391
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: the metal down the. Stretch but you would think it's

392
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: probably still two starts For Kate. Horton we'll, see but

393
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 1: obviously if you are invested in The rookie of The year,

394
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: race WHICH i know a lot of race fans, are

395
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: you are rooting heavily AGAINST Kt, horton and you are

396
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: rooting For drake to get, hot and he showed the

397
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: starting to show a little bit of a hot streak right,

398
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: now potentially going on in less two days needs more

399
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: of that for.

400
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:13,760

426
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: day four. Hits he is showing some life After we've

427
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: kind of all alluded to, it But i'm not sure

428
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: if people, realize like how deep of a slump he

429
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: went back, Into like we all know how bad it

430
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: was for as long as it. Was then he went

431
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: nuclear and you sure some numbers on this today On,

432
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: TWITTER i was laughing about, it but like he has

433
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: gone back into the void the last few. Weeks so

434
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: that four hits today is why we're bringing it. Up

435
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: that's that's a good. Sign BUT i can't get over

436
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: the walk. Number do you have it in front of?

437
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 2: You, yeah he's got four walks in his last four

438
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: hundred plate, appearances which.

439
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: Is say that one more.

440
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: Time he's got four walks in his last four hundred plate.

441
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: Appearances that is a one percent walk, Rate like that's not, Possible,

442
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: like no one has a one percent walk. Rate and

443
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: that's not that's not for the plate appearances is two

444
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: thirds of a.

445
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: Season he's had multiple stretches of going like one hundred

446
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: and fifty plate appearances without a.

447
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: Walk that SAYSN'T i mean as good as he was

448
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: for that month in the middle of the, season that did, Happen,

449
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: like no one can BE i, mean maybe there's an

450
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: example What i'm, forgetting BUT i don't think anyone can

451
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: be a good major league hitterer with a two percent walk.

452
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: Rate and that's Where michael listen of the. Season it's

453
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: two point four. Percent it's the lowest walk rate of

454
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: any player in baseball by a decent. Amount, no it's.

455
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 2: It's it's SO i tweeted out the. Numbers so from

456

458
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: yes it's one of the worst. Hitters and he. Was

459
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: he was one of the worst hitters in baseball from

460
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 2: the start of the second, half which Was july nineteenth

461
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: Through august, nineteenth one, Month Michael harris had a two

462
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: FIFTEEN wrc, plus so he was quite literally probably the

463
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: best hitter in baseball.

464
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: Or at least on the short list for a month since.

465
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 2: Then so that Was july Nineteenth august, Nineteen so From

466
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 2: august twentieth to now coming into, today it's not including

467
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: his his game. Today he had a, good good double header.

468
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: Today he had it was about a month worth of player.

469
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: APPEARS i think it was like one hundred and fifteen plate.

470
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: Appearances he had a negative SEVENTEEN wrc. PLUS a negative

471
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: SEVENTEEN wrs was zero.

472
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: Walks it's hard to get to a negative over that

473
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: large of a sample when you're playing every.

474
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: Day he's got he had like a one forty eight

475
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 2: on base, percentage which is.

476
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: We did share that briefly On. Sunday like again there

477
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: this is what this is one of a situations where

478
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: really helps to take. Walks you don't have to be

479
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: a twenty percent walk, Right, Like i'm not saying you

480
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: got you gotta be pro former racoonyan and take a.

481
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: Time it'd be helpful if he. Was but like you

482
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: basically can't have a one obi AN obp and in

483
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: the one hundreds if you take any walks in.

484
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: All correct, Correct but that is that is the importance

485
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: of is they sustain you during bad. Streaks and that's

486
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: what people that's what like casual fans don't, understand is

487
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: that like even When acunya went through his like when

488
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: you take, walks like like When acuna had his worst

489
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: month In, august he had like a ninety six W

490
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 2: rc plus be like a three sixty on base percentage

491
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 2: because he walks fourteen percent of the. Time, like even

492
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 2: when you're not, hot walks sustain your production and they

493
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 2: they they create a floor that you're never gonna drop.

494
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 2: Below Well michael doesn't have. That michael can just creater

495
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 2: all the way down to the bottom of the. Ocean

496
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: and that's that's the thing we got to figure out

497
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: because we've we've seen him his production just completely crater

498
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: multiple times a year now for multiple. Years AND i don't,

499
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: KNOW i don't know the answer to, it but it's

500
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: got to start with some plate. Discipline, YEAH i.

501
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: DON'T i don't think he's never gonna suddenly be an

502
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: awesome played A simplin. Guy like what you don't see

503
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: is guys going from this to being great in taking.

504
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: Walks what you're hoping for is he becomes like just

505
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: really really below. Average because the only REGULAR i looked

506
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: this up just now to make, sure the only regular

507
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: in the league in recent years with a comparable walk

508
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: rate to What michael has been doing Is Hobby. Bias.

509
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: Yeah bias is a good example of a player who

510
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: bottomed out entirely at the plate because he doesn't take

511
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: walks like and he can have hot stretches. Still even

512
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: this year he had a couple of hot stretches where it's, like,

513
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: oh Hovey, bias he's. Back and then you look up

514
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: and he has two percent walk rate and His demarcy

515
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: plus is like eight in the, eighties and it's, like,

516
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: well we're back to Being Hobby bias. Again.

517
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 2: YEAH i made The Hobby Bias harris comparison a couple

518
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: for a couple of. Times but they have they have

519
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: actually have a ton of like they came up as

520
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: these elite defensive players at elite defensive, positions tons of,

521
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: power but they had questions about plate. Discipline It it

522
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: quite literally Ruined Hobby bias's, career like he was on

523
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: his way to being A mvp level. Player you, know

524
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 2: he had like multiple four win seasons early, on and

525
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: then it just slowly just descended into you, know he

526
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: back to eighth a lot of the. Time, now like

527
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 2: this this is a thing that. Does it doesn't end,

528
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 2: careers but it will knock you down multiple levels from

529
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: where you thought you would. Be and that's WHAT i

530
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 2: worry about With mike is that like this is gonna

531
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: get so bad where he's just he's barely even like

532
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: a starter level player is like hobby. Bias, unfortunately, yeah hopefully.

533
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: Not but uh, hey and encouraging day today For. Michael

534
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,239
Speaker 1: BUT i was EVEN i wasn't gonna bring it, up

535
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: but THEN i saw that number of four walks and

536
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: foreigner played, appearances and it's LIKE i knew it was,

537
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: bad and that's worse THAN i. Thought SO i was, Like,

538
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: okay we have to bring this up on the podcast

539
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: else we're in game. One On, Tuesday Jose suarez became the, eighth,

540
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: sorry eighteenth starting pitcher for The braves this.

541
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: Year big.

542
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: Difference So scott AND i references on the show On

543
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: sunday about how it was already the team record seventeen

544
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: But we speculated it might go up in the last

545
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: two weeks because it's just you, know you're kind of

546
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: in garbage time and then literally today, doubleheader natural point

547
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: for it to. Happen but that's a crazy. Number eighteen

548
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: guys starting game is. Crazy suarez if people don't know

549
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: who he is before, today twice seven year old left

550
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: hander had a couple of promising years with The angels

551
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: a couple of years, ago like twenty one twenty, two

552
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: was like a pretty decent pitcher they thaw off the,

553
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 1: cliff but has stuff like he was good, Today like

554
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: it's the it's The, nationals It's, september so you're grading

555
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: on a. Curve but he threw seven innings WHICH i

556
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: was legitimately shocked by in a spot, start but struck

557
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: out nine like missed a lot of, bats got, good

558
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: moved on his pitches like he's got an arsenal to.

559
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Him there's a reason why this guy is like a major,

560
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: Leaguer like he's got. Stuff what do you make of?

561
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: This did do you care at? All is it just

562
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: one start you're like shrugging about or is it like

563
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: maybe there's something? Here this is what.

564
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 2: The braves should have been doing this and then they

565
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: have kind of they did it with some veterans that

566
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 2: have zero, upside but like they should be taking guys like,

567
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: this and they did it With wins AND i think

568
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: it's worked out decently. Well we're like guys who still

569
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: have room to be. Better like Cal quantrell has no

570
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: room to be. Better he is exactly what he is

571
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 2: and was never going to get better and it's only

572
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: gonna get. Worse but guys Like Joey, Wentz Jose, suarez

573
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 2: who have, stuff who have some, pedigree who've had some

574
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: levels of success at a pro, level you, know why?

575
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: Not why? Not just see you, know you catch lightning

576
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: in a bottle all the. Time SO i love. That

577
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 2: this is WHAT i want The braves to. Do LIKE

578
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: i really thought they might shut Down waldrip at some

579
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 2: point just because he's thrown so many. EATINGS i thought

580
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: they might shut Down strider at some point just to

581
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 2: let him start his off. Season AND i was hoping

582
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: this is what they would. Do they would take guys like,

583
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: this find guys like. This you can always find guys like.

584
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: This we're having bad seasons but have, upside and just you,

585
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: know The braves have done a really good job historically

586
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: With Rick kranitz of like getting these dudes and getting

587
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: more out of.

588
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: Them SO i Mean Grant holmes prime primary.

589
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: Example Grand holmes is a great. Example. Yeah so, yeah

590
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 2: this is exactly what they should be. DOING i have

591
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: no idea if Hos swartz is going to be, anything

592
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 2: but you know that's getting into results by. Process this

593
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: is exactly what they should be.

594
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: DOING i, Agree and you, know again there's there's a for.

595
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: Me there's several. Things it's LIKE i mentioned one, already

596
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: there is a two year record in the majors of

597
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: him being a quality major league. Pitcher that happened. Already

598
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: he's only twenty seven years, old so it's not like

599
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: he's in his mid. Thirties he's got no stuff, left

600
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: like he's still in his prime. Physically and then he

601
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: also was pretty good in the miners for The, braves

602
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: like you are in the, threes ten strikeouts per, nine

603
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: less than two walks per, nine like what you want

604
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: to see in the. Minors and that has. Stuff, again

605
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: there's a reason WHY i mentioned that. Before but like

606
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: multiple pitches that can have some life to, them he

607
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: can miss bats and has a record of doing. That

608
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: in the major. Leagues SO i don't know if he's

609
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna go to. Either we have no, idea but it

610
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: is a worthwhile. GAMBLE i was encouraged by, that and

611
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: it was at least providing some intrigue for a midday

612
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: game on A tuesday In. September so that was. Fun

613
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,800

Speaker 1: guys two or fiftieth save of his career. Today he

616
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: waited a long time for. It, actually they hadn't got

617
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: one a. While not really his. Fault he's only the

618
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: fortieth pitcher ever to have that many. Saves that's not

619
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: a Small baseball's been happening for a long. Time so,

620
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: cool cool honor For. Risel good on. Him that's the

621
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: hook for me to bring up What i'm about to.

622
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: Say he's allowed one run in his last twenty two.

623
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: Outings he has been ridiculous for a. WHILE i know what.

624
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: Happened happened In, april and MAY i understand, Everybody i'm

625
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: not saying. Otherwise it was quite bad for a long.

626
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: TIME i. Understand but he has pretty convincingly been a

627
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: top five reliever in baseball now for like three and

628
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: a half. Months what do you make of? That do you?

629
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: CARE i Mean i've Asked scott. THIS i don't know

630
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: IF i don't know if you have talked about, This

631
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: like do you want to Bring russel? Back, like BECAUSE

632
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: i think he's especially Like russell A. Glass now, AGAIN

633
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: i know he's on the older, side he's a free,

634
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: agent all those, things but, like when you're this good

635
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: for this long and they didn't trade, him which we

636
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: all know and covered ad, nauseum but they didn't trade,

637
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: him so their relationship is still, there and it's kind

638
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: of the natural questions like all, right what now because

639
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: he's been so?

640
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: Good, YEAH i mean bring. It, listen The braves don't

641
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: have a closer that we know of that's on the

642
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: roster for. Nextion, now any of the internal guys they

643
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: do have could probably be, bumped but in terms of

644
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: like a proven, closer The braves currently do not have

645
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: one of those on the roster for twenty twenty. Six

646
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: so if you want to Bring Ross glacier's, back for,

647
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: me it's all it's all gonna be contract, Driven like

648
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: what are you giving? Him what is he? Need what

649
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: is he asking. For he's thirty five years. Old he's a,

650
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 2: Reliever LIKE i have some limits on WHAT i would

651
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: be interested in doing, there but he gotta have a

652
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: C i, mean even, today's even in the modernized version of,

653
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: baseball teams use Closers LIKE. I if you had asked

654
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: me ten years ago if like a closer official closures

655
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: would still be, AROUND i would have said. No but

656
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: that's one of those like traditional positions that is really held.

657
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: On like even the most analytical teams in baseball have proven,

658
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: closers like guys who are the set closer for safe.

659
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: Situations AND i don't know why that's still around in,

660
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 2: baseball but it is and teams value. It SO i

661
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,560

00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: didn't trade. HIM i can't believe some team didn't offer.

663
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: Something i'm still. PISSED i don't think The braves were

664
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,719

670
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: there are plenty of teams with bad pulpins that are

00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: kicking themselves for not getting. Roscles that's one hundred percent of.

00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: YEAR i mean he has. Eight so this is an

723
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: arbitrary end. Point but if you start the Season may,

724
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: one so, again he had kind of a by his

725

728
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: May as a start a.

729
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: PICTURE i, mean, yeah like you could tell me you.

730
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: CAN i can make a legitimate argument That chrysale on

731
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: a parning, basis especially Since may has been the best

732
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: picture in baseball like he's.

733
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: Been he has been on a true and you have

734
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: to make the. Case you look at the, numbers like

735
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: on a per start basis Since may, One, yeah he

736
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: has been the best picture of. Baseball now he missed

737
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: some time in, there so his he has fewer.

738
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 2: Starts, yeah he's only gonna he's gonna he's gonna only

739
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: gonna end up with like twenty, starts and obviously the

740
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: league leaders always get thirty.

741
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: Two he's. In he's at nineteen right. Now but you

742
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: already said he has a better right than last year

743
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: or at least maybe The, yeah actually a better area

744
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: in the last. Year HIS fip is a little bit,

745
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: higher but his fIF is still two point four to

746
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: nine for the. Season like HE'S i, MEAN i know

747
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: he's getting. Old But Chris sale is like every TIME i,

748
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: THINK i hear something, like, well there's there's so much

749
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: there is uncertainty in the, rotation, clearly but you need

750
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: to give The chrysale caveat it. Time Chris sale, IS

751
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: i guess there's.

752
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: One the only the only uncertainty with him, is.

753
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: Of course there is injury. CONCERNS i, understand but in the,

754
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: age BUT i, mean the guy is, Absurd LIKE i don't,

755
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: Know i'm trying not to overstate it too. Much and

756
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: it gets same caveat gave earlier With Josees. Farez it

757

Speaker 1: is The. Nationals It's september for this particular. Start but

758
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: It's Chris. Sale he doesn't when you need the Caveat

759
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: like he's JUST i. WASN'T i was not planning on

761
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,319

00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: In washington with fourteen people in the. Stands again two hour,

767
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 2: range there's probably more people in the dugouts than in

768
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: the stands in these, Games and like the dude is

769

Speaker 2: do with him leading like a postseason, run BECAUSE i

776
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,680

Speaker 1: Too if there was no margin for, AIR i don't

786

788
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: i have one very on brand hammer territory thing to

789
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: ask you. About you already shaking your. Head you know,

790
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: what you know it's coming, Caveats supply we know this doesn't.

791
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: MATTER i promise you we know it doesn't. MATTER i texted,

792
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: you we're not talkt us about. This all night. Long

793
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: we were all talking about the. Game we were just

794
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: getting ready to do THE pokt and ALL i said

795
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: Was brewhan question, mark question, mark question mark because the

796
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: brand in a tie game zeros Here Brian snicker used

797
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: for brun as a pinch hitter with a runner on

798
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 1: third and one, out pinch hitter and at the, time

799
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: this is the important. Detail number, one he hit for

800
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: hit for na shoe. ALBARIS i don't know If i'd

801
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: do it. ANYWAY i Think i'd probably just rather have not.

802
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: Show And i'm not even the biggest. Guy BUT i

803
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: think he's a BETTER i think he's a better here

804
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: Than breuhan. Already that's number. One. Yes the more important thing,

805
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: though is that The braves had Both Drake baldwin and

806
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: Hass On kim available on the bench at the, time

807
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: Because kim hit the next batter For Nick, allen which is,

808
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: okay but there's one if the one out played appearance

809
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: is the bigger played, appearance that all you need to

810
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: do there is get a sack fly and you are

811
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: taking the leave of the.

812
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: Game and this is What chris selling, them, man like

813
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: you know this one run might hold? Up literally is

814
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: the game like a hold? Up Drake baldwin on the, Bench.

815
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: Dakkim so obviously they Had Nick. Allen so the funniest

816
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: part about the lamp today it's a, doubleheader but this

817
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: is a lineup that Had Sandy leone And Nick allen in.

818
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: It it was kind of a nice and, nacho kind

819
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: of a nice throwback to earlier in the year when

820
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: it was like so dire with it with the. Lineup

821
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: so that's how you end up with this situation where

822
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: like you're trying to you're trying to score a run

823
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: badly late in the, game and you're managing it. Heavily and,

824
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: yes obviously you're gonna hit For Nick, allen but you

825
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: could hit With kim, first and then if you want

826
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: to Have breuhan hit, next or Have drake or Have

827
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: drake hit, next whatever you want to, do you can do.

828
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: That you don't have Brew han take that to that

829
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: point in the. Game the highest leverage of bat in

830
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: the game was purposely given to Dal.

831
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: Brahn AND i want to make sure people understand, this

832
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 2: but Deel brun has a lower CAREER wsc plus Than Nick,

833
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 2: allen like he is a he is just as like

834
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 2: whenever you Think Nick allen's offense is Del bruhan is

835
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: at the same, level or possibly at a lower. Level

836
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: so like that's the level of hitter we're talking. About

837
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 2: who is the first guy off the bench with a

838
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 2: runner on third with one out as the go ahead

839
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: run With Drake baldwin and and, Listen Hassak kim came

840
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 2: to the plate with two out and he had a

841
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 2: bad play To. Prince he on three. Pitches but that's the.

842
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: Result we're not talking about. Results we're talking about. Pross

843
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: Like Hassak kim is a so much of a better

844
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 2: hitter Than Midel, brewhan it's not even. Funny Drake baldwin

845
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: is a better hitter than both of. Them this is

846
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 2: the go. Ahead it doesn't. Matter the race, suck the season's.

847
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: Over it doesn't.

848
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 2: Matter this is the kind of stuff that drives us.

849
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: Crazy, yes so if the if this.

850
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 2: Game, mattered we would have led the show with this

851
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 2: and if they had like, lost.

852
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: Really maybe honestly, not but just TO i know there's

853
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: MAYBE i think clearly just loves he clearly likes he.

854
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 2: Think there's something About brewhan he.

855
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: Loves but but it's it's funny BECAUSE i just do

856
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: to make SURE i wasn't, crazy BECAUSE i know the career,

857
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: NUMBERS i know his note to the, season but he

858
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: wasn't always with The, Braves SO i was, like maybe

859
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: he has a Good maybe he has a better line

860
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: with The braves That i'm remembering him, having and maybe

861
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: that's what stickers are want going off, of like just

862
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: his back of the baseball car for this. Season no

863
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: with The. Braves he has a six fifteen ops like

864
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: he's not been good at the plate for The. BRAVES i.

865
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: DON'T i don't. Know it's an absolutely strange. Thing i'm

866
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 1: laughing bringing it up BECAUSE i know it doesn't, matter

867
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: and someone will tell us it doesn't, matter like we don't.

868
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: Know it's always funny to read. That it's like guys

869
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: who cares season's. Over it's like we understand even.

870
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 2: Like even Like Eli, white it's got like yes seven.

871
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: Like Eli white is a is not a great. Hitter

872
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 1: he's a better hitter than all. Right moving right, Along

873
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: as we covered briefly in live fashion, earlier The braves

874
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: did win this game five nothing in. Ten the big

875
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: swing was My olson, triple But Balin bawman drove the

876
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: first round. Home The braves has not won four games

877
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: in a row because they won this. Game so if

878
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: you are a again a taken fun, observer the braves

879
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: chances to be second in the lottery are basically none

880
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: now because The. Pirates they now have four wins in The,

881
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: PIRATES i, think AND i can't imagine The pirates winning

882
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: four more games than The braves over the next over

883
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: the next week and a.

884
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: Half The pirates never. Win they are they might not

885
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 2: win four games next.

886
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: Year, yeah SO i think The braves probably are going

887
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: to be fourth answered in the lottery. Now so if

888
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: you were someone rooting against, wins these four wins took

889
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: The braves down a peg or two in the, lottery you.

890
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 1: Know but they they they're gonna win this. Series there

891
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: is an argument for. Vibes we've never been Like zelots

892
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: on the, pod like they have to lose every. GAME

893
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: i get that, too trust, me there's some nuance. There but,

894
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: uh if you were rooting for, losses this wing streak

895
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: is still. Time but there you. Go before we, Go,

896
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: stephen we should at least mention you AND i took

897
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: it in a, game not. Together we were both in

898
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: the same building and when we talked and met up

899
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: On friday it was a comical, loss which we knew

900
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: was gonna happen when we were. There BUT i bring

901
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: that up Because hurst And walthrop's the pitcher we saw On,

902
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: friday and he's pitching the series. Finale On wednesday. Afternoon

903
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: when we last saw, him he had his worst start

904
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: of his, season by a. Lot and actually you AND

905
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: i did not debrief after this at. ALL i don't

906
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: know what you. THINK i don't think he was as

907
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: BAD i said on the show On. SUNDAY i don't

908
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: think he was as bad as the line. Indicated he

909
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: got kind of singled to. Death BUT i also think

910
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't particularly good, Either AND i wonder what you

911
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: thought of, that and also what you think about this next,

912
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: one BECAUSE i, mean, look anytime for this late this,

913
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: season there's a chance this is your last start of the,

914
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: year like if they just. Decide you mentioned it. EARLIER

915
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: i think his endings total was so, high like there's

916
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: a chance they shut a guy down at any, point

917
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: but he is the probable for. Tomorrow i'm assuming his the.

918
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: Pitch what are you looking for for?

919
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: That, YEAH i. AGREE i mean it was from my vantage.

920
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 2: POINT i was on the right. FIELD i know you

921
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 2: were behind the. Plate it was actually tough for me to,

922
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 2: see like command, wise where he. WAS i was just

923
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 2: seeing the, results and the results were like every batter

924
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 2: was a single up the. MIDDLE i think he gave

925
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 2: up one extra base.

926
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: Hit it was it was it was the homer he,

927
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: allowed the he allowed The homer to the guy making

928
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: his first major league appearance that he ever saw the major.

929
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 2: Leagues it was like one inning he just couldn't get

930
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 2: like the last, out like he was just single up the,

931
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: middle single up the, middle single up the. Middle so

932
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: that's that's Gonna, YEAH i mean he just got bad itpped.

933
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 2: Basically So I'M I i have my guard up With

934
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 2: herston waldrip, anyway LIKE i am not All like there's

935
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 2: people who are all. In i'm not there. Yet the

936
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: command still worries. Me he's had, multiple like five six walk.

937
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 2: Games you, know it's his repertoire deep enough to consistently

938
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: get hitters out after they've made, adjustments like they're gonna make.

939
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: Adjustments he's. Been he's got a plenty tape, now especially

940
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: going in the next, Year like there's a whole level

941
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 2: to this thing he hasn't gotten to. Yet SO i

942
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 2: still have my guard, up but not because Of. Friday

943
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 2: THAT i getting bad bipped around doesn't doesn't bother me.

944
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: Much, YEAH i THINK i mentioned it Was scott BECAUSE i.

945
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: Didn't he had his worst location plus of the.

946
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: Year so his, command his command is a thing that

947
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 2: matters a.

948
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: Lot, yeah and it has BEEN i think universally better

949
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 1: than people. EXPECTED i think his location plus is like one,

950
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: hundred which is lee, average and you will take that

951
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: his stuff is good enough where if he can locate

952
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: at the league average, level you're in good. Shape and,

953
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: that's you, know a great sign for him hopefully. Continues

954
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: and While i'm kind of with you having my guard,

955
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,040

956
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: i don't know IF i believe, that BUT i do

957
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: like the fact that his underlying numbers are worse than,

958
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: that but they're pretty. Good like there's still like a

959
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: fip in the, three like fipp in the mid, Threes

Speaker 1: usual feedback On, sunday like every time we'll talk about,

966
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: this we got the same feedback about how we were

967
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: adamant they have to add more starting, pitching and people

968
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: start listing names off and they get to six or

969
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: seven and they're, like, oh we're, fine and it doesn't

970
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: matter what we say or how many times do you

971
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: have eighteen starters in the? Season? Whatever but what if

972
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,760

973
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: Way he's an example of a guy that people are

974
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: just so sure is gonna be written in pen as

975
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,360

978
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: didn't take us that. LONG a few months in we're, like,

979
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: Hey schowlamuck's a. Guy guy in capital, letters and he.

980
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,040

982
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: Guy he's gonna he's gonna matter next. YEAR i just

983
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: don't know in what.

984
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: Way, well And i'll say, this first of, All brace

985
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: fans should, know like we've seen plenty of prospects come,

986
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: up have good years or maybe good half a year's

987
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 2: good year and a, half and then they get. Hurt

988
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 2: they're never the. Same Like brace fans should be aware

989
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 2: that we should not be counting our chickens On hurston waldrip.

990
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 2: Yet BUT i will say him getting to the point

991
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: this year where he's become an actual legitimate candidate to

992
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 2: help next. Year. Yep is such a massive move from

993
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: where he was even like three months. Ago LIKE i

994
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: was really beginning to wane if he's a, reliever and

995
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 2: there was people that are smarter than us about prospects

996
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 2: who are, like this guy's a. Reliever he doesn't have

997
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 2: a useful enough fastball to be a. Starter. Yep It

998
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 2: LIKE i was kind of coming to the end of

999
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: My Hurston waldrip, interest to be honest with. You so

1000
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 2: the fact that we're here and he's actually even a

1001
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: possibility for the next year's rotation is a big. Deal but,

1002
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 2: yes one hundred, percent people should still very much have

1003
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 2: their guard up. Here we have not anywhere close to scene.

1004
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: Enough it's been a grant to your, point it's been

1005
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: A Grand slam kind of stretch For. Walldrops, like no

1006
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: question about. It we're not downplaying. That it's been a really,

1007
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: really really good and encouraging thing to go from. Fringy

1008
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: we don't know what's gonna happen to like clearly in the.

1009
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 1: Mix that's a big that's a big it's a big.

1010
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: Jump but, uh there are only three guys in the

1011
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: organization that if they are, HEALTHY i am sure are

1012
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: in the rotation next. Year three sale selling Back.

1013
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 2: Strider, yeah that's that's.

1014
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: The list Because lopez could be the bullpen and the

1015
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: shoulder injury is the shoulder, Injury holmes's injury.

1016
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: CONCERNS i will say If holmes is, healthy but they.

1017
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: Could put them in the, bullpen LIKE i don't. THINK

1018
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: i think they. DON'T i don't. THINK i don't think

1019
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: they're going. To but that's if healthy is huge there

1020
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: like he might have he thought might have to Have

1021
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: tom Of, John, like we don't know if that's gonna go.

1022
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 2: Yet if you're guaranteeing me, health, yeah.

1023
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: No if you're garranting, health it becomes to a. Conversation

1024
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: but Because lopez is kind of the same, Thing LIKE

1025
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: i Think lopez is a clearly a top move guy

1026
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: in your. Organization if we will.

1027
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,880

1040
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: i'm intrigued by What waldrop looks like again in a follow,

1041
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: up because he had some adversity in his last, start

1042
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: like whether we thought he was as bad as he

1043
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: was or, not like it was some genuine Diverse they,

1044
00:49:58,440 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: got they, got they got beat, up that game was

1045
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 1: game was over in a, hurry as we could attest

1046
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: having been. There but a bounce back opportunity and a

1047
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: relatively from the one like an easier matchup for, Sure

1048
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: and it's on the, road but The nationals is not the,

1049
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: actress so this should be a little bit. Easier we'll

1050
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: see how this goes for. Him that's definitely the number

1051

1054
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: we don't do, that BUT i think it'll be a

1055
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: show at some point.
