WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off September 21st, 2022 (Ep. 600) 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.600 Oh look at us. We're all crazy there. Hello, friends, 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.640 and welcome in. It is leading off. I am the Welsh. 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.079 That is Kelly Kirby because it's a wonky Wednesday. We 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:24.000 had a wonky. 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:25.560 Little start there for them. 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.159 That was funny. That made me laugh. Kelly, how are we? 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.720 I'm doing okay. Shane McClanahan kind of ruined my Tuesday, 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:35.520 but that's all right. How are you well? 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.120 I mean I was doing all right and then you 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.240 had to come right out the gates with the negativity. 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.440 All right, I'm sorry, my bet. 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.280 No, you know what it's there. I said right in 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.920 yesterday's show. I'm like, hey, guess what the one bet 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:51.000 I really love today? And I'm doing Seane McClanahan. I 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.800 was watching a lot of that game too, because I 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:58.600 ended up parlaying McClanahan and Lodola. Lodola needed seven, nailed it. 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.639 Clanahan didn't have us strikeout, I believe the first three innings, 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.959 and then he got three strikeouts and maybe you know, 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.960 maybe he got one in the third, but into the 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.800 fourth inning he got three strikeouts. He needed two more, 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.520 and then he gets injured. He gets reinjured, though of 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.440 course he will make his next start. As they say, 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.320 no McClanahan, no bueno, no bueno for the bet. Unfortunately, 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.320 but you know how my day was saved because I 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.679 had put together a bet little draft Kings had a 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.679 little thing that was like, hey, we'll give you a 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.920 sixty percent bonus if you want to bet on Aaron 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.399 Judge hitting his sixtieth homer. And I say, you know what, 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.120 I like that today And then I was sitting up 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.280 at night. He had gone through all his bats except 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:45.080 in the bottom of the ninth and buamo Aaron Judge, wwamy, 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.680 if you will hits his sixtieth home run, which is 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.120 an incredible, incredible marker. And it was a great shot too, 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.280 because he was pitched one right down on the plate, 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.880 three straight low below his knees and then he will 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.160 crowg's groove one right back back in and it looked 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.520 like you hit it four hundred million feet Kelly and 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.440 gonna be r MVP. It is just is what it is. 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:11.359 He's currently holding the triple crown in the al sixty homers. 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.840 The Marris family is hung out the whole time waiting 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.720 for him to break it. And he's won away. 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.800 Yes he is. I was actually thinking someone with a 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.840 lot more time than us should figure out if you 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.280 had bet five dollars on him to Homer every day, 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.000 where would you have come out this year or ten dollars. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.640 Well, you see what's hard about that is he doesn't 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.240 get really great odds. So like his odds last night 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:38.440 to Homer were plus one twenty six, and then they 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.200 gave you extra odds, so you know, it's not like 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.799 if you were getting if you were playing a guy 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.320 you know that was getting like plus four hundred, you 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.720 would have like a four day buffer in between all 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.720 of those and you could rock it. But otherwise, I 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.440 don't know. I don't think you. I don't think you 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.120 would have done too well unless you did play some 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.040 version of like escalating betting. There's probably a way that 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.679 you really could have done it, Doctor Glint, after you 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.920 finish with our Moon math about how hard O'Neal Cruz 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.080 would hit it on Jupiter, let us know about this 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.639 and how your betting would have gone. Please, by the way, 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.000 you can find Kelly on at the Wonky Peng when 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.120 you can find me on Twitter at is it the 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.919 Welsh and this is locked up for you, Kelly. Aaron Judge. Yes, 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.399 MVP locked up. You just don't need to worry about 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.600 it anymore. No more talking. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.160 No, I don't think that it's worth discussing at this point. 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.160 We can argue theoretically, but it's over. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.280 You know what we should do is we should have 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.880 like an off season episode where we'll get like, we'll 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.640 have to get an overlay of like three or four 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.480 of us, and then we all just come on as 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.480 the award is announced, and you know, we'll talk like 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.920 we spent so much talking about it the time this 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.280 year that you know we could talk about it when 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.520 he actually does it. So there you go. Aaron Judge 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.400 got me a couple of ducats after Sean McClanahan did 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.840 not get it for me, and hits the sixtieth of 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.560 the year, so we've got some record in the next 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.280 week and have to follow. Also, Carlos Stanton, no big 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.720 deal it hit his third career walk off brand Slam Tuesdays, 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.520 the Yankees came back to beat the Pirates, and to 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.520 point out, Aaron Judge led off the inning hit that 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.280 homer and then bam bam bam bam bam. Gihn Carlos 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.560 Stanton walk up Yankees or something something special. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.640 I suppose imagine if Stanton hits like because I mean 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.960 he's just been swinging at nothing because the other three 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.760 at bats yesterday he struck out. But imagine if he 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.160 gets one of those weird hot streaks going, like right 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.120 at the start of the playoffs, and then you put 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.200 the two of them together. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.640 Yeah, that's a great point. He's one of like I mean, 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.920 there's like three or four guys in Major League Baseball. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.560 It's like you can't let them get going. Like I 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.400 would even say, like ada bertal Mondesi is one of 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.400 those guys, even though he's not around this year, Like, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.440 you can't let him get going. Same thing would be 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.080 with Stanton. If he gets going, everybody's in trouble. That's 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:51.880 a really great point. 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.360 Yeah, and then our oh good, I was gonna say, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.360 our theory of just walking him in the playoffs then 0:04:58.400 --> 0:04:59.720 becomes much more complicated. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.640 But yeah, there was actually a part of me that 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.560 was I mean, the Pirates were up last night, not 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.680 in a Stanton situation. They couldn't, but I guess with 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.479 the judge, I was almost curious, like why do they 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.320 even pitch him? I mean they were up four runs, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.560 so what did they care? But there's just kind of 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.160 a like why even bother with it? 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:16.080 But it is. 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:17.960 By the way, shout out to the chat for all 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.000 of the hair comments. Yes I did. We trimmed up 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.960 the hair and we're rocking hair today. As I mentioned yesterday, 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.680 my son one student of the month at his school, 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.480 so I'm going to go from here. That's why we're 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.240 going a little bit early. I'm gonna be going over 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.960 there to make sure to show him some love. But 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.800 we had done some hair, so I am rocking. I'm 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:35.600 pretty I like the hair. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:36.000 I like it. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.560 So shout out to all you guys for the nice 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.279 hair comments. Thank you very much. I will take those 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.479 as long as I have them until the hair goes away. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:43.880 This is why we have to wear it long until 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.080 it gets balding or anything like that. By the way, 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.040 one of the things I don't think anyone warned you 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.520 about when you get older is when you don't pay 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.320 attention to your hair enough and then you go in 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.280 to like cut it and you're like, where did all 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.960 this grat come from? I have so much gray I'm looking. 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.200 I'm gonna be quick silver here soon for you. Marvel. 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.640 People like it is, there's a lot of gray that's 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.040 hidden behind what looks like Jeb Black on the screen. 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.400 So it's you know, I wear baseball hats here and 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.320 then at the job the other job that I have, 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.200 I wear baseball caps all the time. And yeah, I've 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.800 started to like, I'm like, well, I guess we're just 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.760 going gray. Huh, Like like is it worth dying it? 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.640 But you know, I'm like, maybe the baseball Caps just 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:21.719 keep me looking young. 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.120 They absolutely they do. Yeah, we mentioned the McClanahan stuff. 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.040 By the way, it was it was left neck stiffness 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.160 and he had some spasms, is why he came out. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.480 He downplayed it, but he should be out for that 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.520 next start. And we got a fun fact coming up 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.839 here in a little bit. Francisco Lindoor club to go ahead, 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.599 Grand said, what's all? The Grand slams off a Taylor 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.560 Rogers in the seventh inning On Tuesday night, Mets had 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.080 a come from behind wins seven to four victory over 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.440 the Brewers, so it was comeback city for New York 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.760 and Francisco Lindoor has really been a bright spot where 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.800 he was one of those guys that I felt like 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.640 in draft season, No One really knew how to handle him, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.600 Like no one knew, like what will we actually going 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.680 to get? Wander Franco was going over him. Tim Anderson 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.479 from many places was going over him. Lindor ended up 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.240 being like a sixth or seventh short stop. I think 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.880 there were even people considering Hobby Bayas over him. But 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.559 Lindor's really kind of re solidified his season. I didn't 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.240 I should have pulled up his stats. I will do 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.680 that right now, But any thoughts on how Lindor has 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:21.360 played this year. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.040 Yeah, Lindor is the best representation from this year on 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.320 my theory of like the first year after they signed 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.160 a big free agent contract, stay away, but that second 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.960 year you'll get a discount and then they're gonna revert 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.520 right back to what got them the contract. Like I 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.920 don't know the percentage, but I feel like it happens. 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.600 A lot do that with Judge. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.080 Oh I'm I will avoid judged like crazy next year. 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.600 So yeah, yeah, this is and like this is his 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.240 career year. I don't know if he's gonna the health 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.280 for him, you know, Like, yeah, he's also stayed healthy, 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:55.880 which is a big change for him too. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.320 So yeah, Lindor twenty five homer, seventeen stolen base at 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.760 sixteen So I'm sorry. H ninety nine RBI, ninety two runs, 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.400 hitting two seventy so legit, shot, you get up to 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.880 two seventy five hundred hundred with twenty five and maybe 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.080 twenty right around there. That's a fantastic That's the first 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.800 round season. That's a first round statistical season that Lindor's 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.480 put together that I think has quietly happened. And you know, 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.320 he definitely was a nice discount this year and has 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.280 been really good. And also Kyle Schwarber three run homer 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.600 hit his fortieth of the season versus the Blue Jays 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.200 forty home runs for Kyle Schwarber. Unbelievable hitting, Like, what 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.760 the hell is he hitting right now? There's another one 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.920 I should have pulled up the stats for beforehand. Is 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.640 he hitting like two thirty? 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.480 I don't know. Yeah, he's a little higher than the 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.600 gallow line, but he's I'm. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.319 Pulling it up. Take a guest on his batting average 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:44.920 right now. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:50.800 I'd say two twenty seven South, Okay, So maybe it 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:55.440 isn't Gala territory. Yeah, heep, going h two ten little 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:59.640 bit North Okay. Like to twelve, two fifteen. 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.199 Fifteen on the ear with forty homers? Has that? What 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:05.439 was Gallo? See you? 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:05.520 Now? 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.360 I gotta do this now? See this is this is 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.640 what happens to me. Sometimes I get into these rabbit 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.160 holes where I now have to know things. What would 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.920 the most amount of homers Joey Gallo hit? Okay, so 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.360 check this out. The most amount he hit forty one 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.239 and forty and back to back years in twenty eighteen 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:27.520 and twenty seventeen. Man, okay, never mind, his batting average 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.160 was two oh nine when he hit forty one and 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.440 two oh six when he hit forty. I wanted to 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.280 feel like, has there been a guy that's hit under 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:40.719 two fifteen that's had forty plus homers? Apparently there have 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.800 is Joe So you know, Kyls Shwarber's only a couple 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.160 bad games here throughout the rest of the season to 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.840 get under two ten and challenge Joey Gallo. This is 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.240 Joey Gallo territory for sure, and I avoid Joey gallow 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.040 type players. That's what's tough. Kyls Shwarber feels like a 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.400 player that you move way more up and you're investing in. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.800 But I won't if a guy's hitting under two twenty, 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:01.840 I just don't want to do it. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.120 What's his on base percentage? 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.720 Since it is better three thirteen three thirteen this year 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.320 Joey Gallows, we can compare in two thousand and seven. 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:16.079 Twenty seventeen was three thirty three, but the following year 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.120 where he hit forty homers and hit two oh six, 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.600 it was three twelve. So this is like full on 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.720 representative representative of the twenty eighteen Joey Gallo. What Schwarber's 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:26.959 doing like full bar. 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.240 Which I think we should really call it. The Mendoza 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:31.680 line is one thing, but I think we have the 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.600 Gallow line. This is your forty home runs, but you 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.160 can't play you don't want to play them every day, 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:37.640 I'll kill you. 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.319 Yeah, I think. I think the Gallow line is if 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.600 we were defining it, it's like two nineteen batting average, 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.040 maybe even two twenty five. I would say two nineteen 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.360 and thirty plus homers like that is the two That 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.400 is the where the Gallow line intersects and you are 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.640 going to be compared to him for the rest of 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.320 the time. It's amazing. That's probably actually one of the 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.800 more amazing stats to me being able to hit forty 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:04.280 homes when you hit under two twenty. So when Oneo 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.800 Cruz does it next year, everyone will have a long, 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:11.280 big conversation about It'd be very exciting on the injury front. Yeah, 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.719 and you know, I mean my tune will change on 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.200 Oneal Cruise a whole lot with everybody next season. But 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.600 they'll still be the hints of my problem with him, 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.719 but it'll be a lot more exciting with a year 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.719 under his belt and stuff like that. I watch him 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.720 whiff on a world as Chapman last night, just swinging 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.360 at He didn't know what was coming, He didn't know 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.720 what was coming up. He was just bat in front, 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.599 hoping to make some contact. 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.880 And who let him bat against? 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:39.000 Love it? 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.120 I love it awesome. Yep. 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.600 Trey Turner was pulled from Game one yesterday after being 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.839 hit in the back with an errant throw. However, he 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.720 played in the second game, and Dave Roberts said it 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.160 was just a precautionary thing, just precautionary, just like pulling 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.040 all those pitchers in those perfect games. Just precautionary, as 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.040 Dave Roberts. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:56.040 Likes to do. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.000 Nelson Cruz remains out of the national starting lineup on Wednesday. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.840 An eye issue. God, yeah, it was something weird. It 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:04.920 wasn't like a normal like a. 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.200 Yeah, it's an irritation type of I think it also 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:10.160 happens when you're forty. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.640 I was about to say it sounds like something a 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.200 forty two year old might say and a losing team, like, yeah, 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.440 I'm irritated in my eye. I'm irritated in my eye, 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.040 not because we're losing and I don't want to be 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.679 out there right now. Totally. Nixon Zel was diagnosed. So 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.240 they fractured toe in his left foot. I mean that 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.440 is literally my people know my exploits. I broke my 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:35.080 pinky toe three times in six months, completely shattered it. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.360 It's still messed up to this day. So I feel 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.280 for him. But he probably did it, you know, playing 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:41.800 on a field, and I did it by kicking a 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.520 wall three times in the same place. 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.040 I broke both of my pinkies on two separate trips 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.400 to chuck e cheese. So like, I broke one on 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:51.800 the first trip and one on the second trip. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.480 And I know it's not a totally but were they 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.199 within the same like a relative time period. 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.360 No, it was. It was a way of part, but 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.400 it was a great check. And also the next thing 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.000 on the injuries obviously is not an injury, but I 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:05.480 just accidentally put it there. 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.040 Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I see it. Jmuno went five 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:09.840 for five, hit his twentieth homer there. That is not 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.720 an injury. That's just an injury to a baseball, not 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.720 to j t Romuto, which, by the way, you know, 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.800 I do want to throw out there's been a lot 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.120 of question about, you know, the top catcher and what 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:20.720 catcher is going to look like this year. I do 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.920 want to say it's very impressive Romuto and like how 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.760 he's continued the production throughout the year because I think 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.480 there was a real period of time where we would 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.640 look at VARs Show, we look at Adlee and we 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.679 say this is the number one guy. But Ramuto is 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.040 the number one guy, like he is clear and cut 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:37.559 the number one guy to go into next year with 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.640 all those stolen bases, he found the power again, like 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.520 he's the guy. But the catching position is just so 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.640 much different than it used to be. There's so many 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:49.480 more guys stealing bases, and you know, var shows Bar 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:54.400 Show is fascinating because Kelly vers Raight shared something or Shelley. 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.720 I said, Kelly, you're on the show with me. Shelley 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.080 vers rate if you follow her. Shelly v She had 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.160 shared really thing the other day that showed VARs Show. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.800 Twenty four of twenty five homers from Varshow were all 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.200 pull side. We're all pull side stuff. I mean, it's 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.360 like wild and I think it was against Righty's. I 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.599 think twenty four of twenty five or twenty five to 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.760 twenty six was poleside against Righty's. They're going to pitch 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.840 him differently next year. And there's some weird positional stuff 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.600 ally's and steel bases, but the stealing bases is a 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.960 whole lot more, and the shift stuff the catching position. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.280 I'm just saying there's a lot more variety out there. 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.480 It's weird. But Rimito was able to on a full 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.840 season pull it all together again and just clearcut be 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.600 the guy. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.960 Yeah he was, And the way he started I think 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.320 was he started a little slow. I drafted him high 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.600 in one league specifically to trade him because I don't 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.880 like drafting catchers high unless I can flip him. But 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.480 when I saw that, I wouldn't have actually guessed that 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.040 he hit twenty until I saw it today, like he's 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.240 kind of just very quietly gone about being the most 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.400 solid catcher and the one you can really rely on 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.840 at this point because we knew Salprez was going to 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.360 drop off from last year because he had to. But 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.560 with real Moto, it's like, this is kind of what 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.360 you're gonna get probably and you can draft based on that. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.640 Yeah, he had more stolen bases than Homers, like almost 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.440 a majority of the year. I think more games through 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.000 the year, he had more stolen bases than Homers than not. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.440 So this is a different his war though he has 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.720 a full point and a half more of war than 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.680 the next guy, which is Sean Murphy by the way, 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.840 who's had a good year adlely in under one hundred games, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.960 has got the third highest war with the eleven homers. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.240 But you know, there's just more stolen bases, Like I'm 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.080 looking through this list of qualified catchers and you just 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.920 see more than usual. You know, it's nothing crazy, I suppose, 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.840 but you know, I see keibert Ruiz had six this year, 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:45.000 Christian Bettencourt qualifies has five, Wilson Contraras stole four. There's 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:46.760 just more stolen bases that are part of it. But 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.960 he has been pretty freaking phenomenal if we can. This 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.080 is a fun fact I mentioned earlier. It's truly not fun. 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:58.160 Unfortunately this week, you know, you're in your championship or 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.760 the final part of roto, trying to lock it down. 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.760 You're like, hey, look at me. I got Corbyn Burns 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.520 and Shaye McClanahan. This is the Paul Red thing. Who 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.080 would have thought, not me, I'm gonna win this, I'm 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.760 gonna take it all down. Well guess what. This week, 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.680 Corbn Burns and Shane McClanahan have given fantasy managers a 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.760 combined era of nine point three to one and a 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.240 one point eighty six whip. This sounds a little too 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:21.920 close to home. 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.880 Kelly, Yeah. I mean I've been on McClanahan like he 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.560 was my guy, then he got injured. Then I made 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.040 it to the championship round in a league I've been 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.200 commissioner of forever and have not won the whole thing. 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.720 And I'm like, I'm like, okay, sweet, he's coming back. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.280 Like I figured Houston would bench their starter since they 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.680 wrapped up the division, you know, and then I looked 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.760 at it and thought, oh god, and that's the direction 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.480 it went that I'm playing against Burns, so oh. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:50.040 Okay, that's good. 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:50.200 See. 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.720 Yeah, My thought was like this, this stat sounds like 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.440 somebody has burns. And McClanahan put it together and said, 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.000 this is what's happening to me right now. 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.040 But at least I think somebody did. 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.720 But yeah, yeah, not me. Nineteen eighty seven, This day 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:07.200 in Baseball, Darryl Strawberry joins Howard Johnson's the first teammates 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.480 ever to achieve thirty homers and thirty stolen bases in 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.240 a season. That's a wild one. Has anyone done that 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.480 as of recent Has that happened? I'm trying to even 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.320 think of, like who would be that? Who could? Yeah, 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:23.480 I mean that's an incredible stat, doctor Glenn. That's not science. 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.760 But I'm gonna give you points to assign this project 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.679 to somebody. Find me a modern day, you know, modern 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.320 day thirty thirty teammates. I'd like that stat. Some stat 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.560 heroes you mentioned Ermuto five for five, homer, two RBIs, 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.040 Matt Chapman had a bomb. CJ. Cron went three for 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.679 four with the homer and three RBIs. Francisco Lidoor had 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.080 the four RBIs of the homer. Taoscar Hernandez four for five, 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.879 very very good, Matt Duffy homer two, RBIs going three 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.520 for four, Brian Reynolds getting a little thing going before 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:51.960 the end of the year four for five of homer 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.400 two RBIs, Aj Pollock had a bomb, Willia Damis four 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.120 for five with a couple of RBI and Austin Barnes 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.080 three for four with a homer and two RBA. Do 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:06.400 you think the shortstop position is still as robust as 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.240 it was like in our thought process to start the year. 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.280 And the reason I say this is like Willi Adamas 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.280 was one of those guys where we're like, I remember 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.639 Joe would say, I don't worry about it. Have I 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.960 missed out shortstop? You know how I'm taking Willia damas well. 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.159 That doesn't feel so good now, and we've had a 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:22.720 lot of guys kind of fall off. But do you 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.480
