Oh no he didn't. We mightn't. It's coming, Shoe, 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.520 It's coming on this show. 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.800 It's coming on it. Tl Uh, it's gonna happen everywhere, 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.520 so I'm just he will he will hear the wrath 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.119 of everyone, so don't don't even worry about that. 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.400 Well, look, the good news is he seems positive about 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.560 the injury. Not Welsh Byron Buxton. I don't really care it. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.880 Welsh things Bucks and seems okay. So major crisis averted, 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.399 and we all want Byron Buckston to be healthy. We 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.320 want him playing. He's an exciting player. It's good for 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.480 the Twins, it's good for fantasy, it's good for just 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.360 general wellness of the Welsh. I mean, it's just good 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.520 period for Byron Bucks to be healthy. So we all 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.560 want him to be Hopefully this is a blip on 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.240 the radar and he avoided something and we can go 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.360 forward and have a nice season and have nice things. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.400 Let's get to the headlines. Rond Akunya starts his rehab 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:57.360 assignment Tuesday. 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:57.880 What up. 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.440 That's very exciting. Right on. Josh Hater saves his one 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.680 hundredth game. Congratulations to him. You Darbis struck out eight 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:09.399 in a dominant victory yesterday, so obviously the shortest start 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.200 of his career. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:12.120 On the radar. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.799 I mean the amount of panic after that second start. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.840 I was like, guys, he had like six no hit 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.880 innings in his first start, and now we're gonna be 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.760 upset that he gave up a bunch of runs and 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.480 his next like it's his second start of the year 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.239 in a year where everyone had to show up late. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.359 Let's calm it down a little bit. So glad to. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.679 And we talked about on Friday, you and I we 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.720 talked about you darbish and said, this is this is 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.720 your window by low now because the man he has 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.639 another good start, it's out the window. Guess what's over. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:43.919 So the only guy left now is Freddy Peralta. 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.079 STORRT next week, so it'll it'll happen. Don't worry about that, 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:48.359 all right? 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.640 Speaking of bad, how about Zach Wheeler tech for seven 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.440 runs by the Marlins of velocity Concerns there. I told 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.360 you he was my biggest fade going into the season. 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.440 People kept asking me with the black Book, why do 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.000 you have Zach Wheeler is so low in the RPV rankings. 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.120 I said, because I'm concerned because whenever somebody says I'm 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.560 dealing with his shoulder issue going into the season, it's 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.400 a huge red flag. Yeah, and I'm telling you right now, 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.120 the Philly rotation cannot sustain. So if you have shares 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:18.119 of Philadelphia Philly, you know, like winning the division kind 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.880 of shares, I'd be a little concern right now because 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.040 if Wheeler is missing any extended time. Now, look, he's 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.440 not on the IL yet, but the concerns are there. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.760 So Zach Wheeler is not a guy I'm buying low on. 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.440 In fact, if you can get out from Zach Wheeler, 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.000 now is the time. What are your thoughts on this 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.960 whole bad outing, velocity down situation with. 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.720 Him going to take that you know, Philly's rotation as 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.360 a whole, with a grain of salt coming from the 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.800 Mets fan here. But I am concerned about zach Uel 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.760 for sure. So and it's the velocity tip. I think 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.160 they said he's averaging like ninety one point seven or 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.240 that was his lowest fastball and he never had one 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.280 lower than that last year. I mean, the velocity is 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.880 just way down. He's averaging ninety five. He's down a 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.960 ninety four point three and even in his first start 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.160 this season, even below that in his second starts. This 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.360 looks like something he's going to have to get straightened 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.680 out on the il, whether it's shut him down for 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.720 a month waiting for the shoulder recovery and see where 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.560 we're at after that or whatever. 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:13.320 It just does not look good. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.480 So it's a tough time to sell right now because 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.000 he's so low. So I don't know if I would 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.680 get on that bandwagon quite yet. I think I'd wanted 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.960 to put together at least two good starts, but right now, 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.920 with the shoulder thing, I don't know if we're even 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:30.520 getting that. So it's it's tough to know what to 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.719 do right now. But there's just no chance I am 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.719 going to trade him at his lowest value, which I 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:37.560 believe is right now. 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.240 All right, speaking of my loser Mets, who are actually 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.559 in first place. I saw something, and I've been watching 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.320 baseball for forty years. I've never seen this in my 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:49.039 entire life, where there was an appeal call at third base. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.000 I don't know if you saw this because it was 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.440 against the Diamonbacks. I don't know if you saw this 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.960 highlight or not. Of course, I had to be Oliver Perez. 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.640 All the crazy, oh things that always have surrounded Oliver 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.600 Perez in his twenty year career. 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.480 The league for one hundred years. Yeah, so he's gonna 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:03.640 see some crazy stuff. 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.039 But there was an appeal play at third base that 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.960 Dominic Smith left too early to tag Gubin's core. It 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.240 was not the case, but Oliver Perez steps off the 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.840 mound then goes to throw to third base, and in 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.400 the meantime JD. Davis, who is not special, but this 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.159 was a very special moment here for him, made his 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.240 move from first base to second because basically giving himself 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.680 up saying, hey, if you take me and take the out, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.760 you can't appeal the run. And instead, Oliver Perez gets 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.480 confused and I rightfully so goes, what's this guy going? 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:32.839 I just dtepped off the mound. I don't want to 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.400 say what's happening. He has to stop and go, oh, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.080 I need to make sure I throw a third base 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.520 first to get that appeal. He does, The appeal is 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:41.920 he is safe, didn't leave to early. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:42.240 JD. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.760 Davis ends up stealing a base. This is why you 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.720 have managers like Buck Showalter round because I'm telling you 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.120 this was absolutely a relay from Buck to the first 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.280 base coach. Making sure that I've never seen this in 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.960 forty years of baseball. It was stunning. It was cool 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.160 to see. I like when I see things never saw 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.520 I've seen Nestor very good. Yeah I did. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:01.400 I did see that. 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.919 But I'm glad you told me what was happening because 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.120 I remember it was with the sound off and I 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.200 was in someone's house, going, what. 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:09.200 Is happening right now? 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.360 I'm trying to find it on Twitter and I could. 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.719 I couldn't find it immediately. It was so bizarre to 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.240 go back to look. But yeah, that was definitely strange. 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.400 So you're right, all right, Mike as a. 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.320 Walk off bulk, I've seen one of those before. 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.240 Yeah, well that I've seen. We've seen that before. Mike 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.280 trout day to day after X rays negative on his hands. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.200 So my home run guy got hurt. So I've been 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.279 jinxed there, but I got feel good about my pick tonight. 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:31.240 So stay tuned for that. 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:31.719 Uh. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.520 Nestor Cortez with twelve and a no decision versus the Orioles. Uh. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:39.040 He was tremendous. He also had an immaculate inning. Mike Mayor, 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:40.920 who's under the weather, wanted me to make sure that 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.720 I threw that out there the. 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.120 Blue Jays, But but I hang it out. I'm invested 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.560 in Nestor. I've got I've got him roster on a 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.280 couple spots. So very happy to see that twelve k'se. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.479 It was so it was the Orioles. But still he's 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.360 got a funky delivery. He's tough. It's tough to pick 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.359 up the ball. I mean, Nester Cortez is somebody that 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.200 the Yankees desh really need somebody to step up on 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.080 that rotation. So yeah, if Cortel's indeed that guy, that's 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.600 positive the Blue Jays are gonna be without Rio and 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.240 their rotation ten day, I offer him. But Alec Manoa 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.280 with six yesterday against the A's, they have won seventeen 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.880 of his first twenty one big league starts. How about that, 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:16.880 Alec Manoa. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:17.520 That's like that. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.000 I mean he's like picked that up this morning. It's 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:20.280 like a. 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.480 Rabbit's foot, you know, He's like, get on out there, Alec, 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.000 We're probably winning this game seventy five percent of the time. 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.360 That's crazy. That's like Tom Brady stats in Super Bowls. 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:31.880 I'll tell you what, man, you know what you do? Yeah, 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.680 every time Alec manoa' is on the mountd you just 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.160 at the Blue Jays, no further notice, Like, just if 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.800 you do that, you know five on that one, you 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:40.720 just do the full game. 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.480 Let's go full game, Just go all right. 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.280 Next on our list, here was the Corey Seeger intentional walk. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:48.880 I don't know if you saw this over the weekend, 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.760 but he was intentionally walked by Joe Madden with the 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.000 bases loaded. And I love Joe Madden. I've defended Joe 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.520 Madden's wackiness over the years. Corey Seeger is not a 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.800 guy that I'm walking with the basis loaded. I don't care. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:02.800 And I know they ended up winning this game, so 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.200 ended up being a mood point. Mike Trout's reaction in 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.560 the outfield was pretty hilarious to this. But Box, this 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.640 is what you do with Barry Bonds. This is what 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.360 you do with maybe Juan Soto or somebody like that. 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:14.600 Major League Baseball now. 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.400 Will remember Brenley was the guy to do. Was a 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.560 Briendley or Buck I can't even remember now. It might 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.880 have been Bucked, but one of those. It was a 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.120 diamondbackspanasuer that was the first to walk Barry Bonds with 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:25.800 the basis I. 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.840 Think it was Buck, Yeah, I think it was thin. 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.160 It was so nineteen ninety nine a year easy with 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.320 the Diamondbacks for those of you that aren't living in 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.680 my brain. So yeah, year two of the Diamondbacks franchise, 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.040 I believe because that was when, you know, ninety eight 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:41.839 was when McGuire and so so we're going nuts, and 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.280 then Bonds came after that, you know, after he caught 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.640 up to those guys. We'll just say that it might 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.400 have been Brendley also in fairness, because that happened more 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:50.840 than one. 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.040 Occasion it but I remember the very first time it happened. 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.640 People were losing their minds about it that I can 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.839 remember it happening, and it was Bonds in his prime, 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.240 Corey Seeger in the middle of April. 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.760 So yeah, it's definitely a weird move. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.520 By the way, we are eliminating the segment of the 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.839 Daily Kwan until further notice because it wasn't enough Kwan. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.559 So I'm sorry everybody, Well hang in there, but can 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.559 we talk about this. This was so much fun. I 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.600 don't know if you caught this, but the U some 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.480 guys got dressed up in Seattle as the nineteen ninety 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.240 five Mariners team. So it's a guy dressed up like 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.800 Randy Johnson. The tallest friend had the mullet hair. There 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.360 was a guy dressed up as Jay Bunior had the 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.920 bald head and the Oakley's. There was a Ken Griffey 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.960 junior guy, and they all showed up to the game 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.160 together and they sat in a row. I gotta say, 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.360 that's pretty good. That's all. That's very awesome. 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.600 Yeah, yeah, that's very good. I like it. 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.400 You know, anytime anytime we can get a group of 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.640 people going to a baseball game. Yeah, that's themed. I 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.760 like that. That's enjoying. Like, you know what, that's a 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.680 dad joke I can take right there. Yeah, it's clever. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.880 It's not one of Joe's dumb puns. 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.280 So that I like, all right, what do you think 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.559 of this Japanese pitcher Rokie Sazaka. He followed up a 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.679 nineteen strikeout perfect game with eight perfect innings at his 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.160 next start and was pulled because he was at one 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.360 hundred and two pitches. So he was in the eighth inning, 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.680 one hundred and two pitches and pulled. How about that one? 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.079 I mean, kershe how about that? 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.680 Is anyone surprised by this stuff? Like in any league 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.120 they even have a bigger rotation in Japan too, Usually 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:26.240 they have six man rotations. So but it's not surprising 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.800 the guy just threw a perfect game. You want to 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.679 keep that guy healthy. The best player on your team, clearly, 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.560 you want to keep that guy healthy. So if you 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.000 put him at A they probably let him max out 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.920 for his nineteen strikeout perfect game and said all right, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.800 well we're pulling you, like, you know, at one hundred 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.080 at the very most next game, and then he was 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.240 still perfect, They're like, all right, we'll give you like 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.360 one hundred and ten. So when he gets to one 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.160 hundred and eight, they're like, sorry, man, we got to 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.360 you know, you can't have three hundred pitches on this 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.960 guy's arm in two games. So I'm not that surprised 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.520 that this is the way that's happening. Am I disappointed? 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:58.120 Sure? 0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:59.920 Yeah, you want to see a guy go out there 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.959 and throw back back perfect games and everything, but I mean, 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.000 come on, you don't want to ruin his career. You 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.160 don't want to Edwin Jackson this guy, So now you know, 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:09.800 let's uh, let's talk. 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.120 I actually saw him on this weekend. He was there 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.800 talking about great. I love hearing him talk and everything 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.559 but I mean A J. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.440 Hants absolutely ruined that guy's career by letting throw hundred 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.480 and fifty pitches, So you know you can't do that 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:23.120 stuff anymore. 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:23.920 Gotta be Sparner. 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.640 Speaking of starting pitchers, the one O seven E ra 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.240 by the Mets starting rotation is the best ten games 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.400 start to the season since the advent of the earned 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.800 run in nineteen thirteen. And ty Lore this is what 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.160 terrible is on the mound tonight. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:38.800 What do you think of that? 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.959 This is all without de gram? So this is without 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.040 da I know this is. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.000 Nuts, right Peterson yesterday? 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.199 Now let's go over who are the who are this 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.040 series they played? Because I know the Diamondbacks. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.480 Was won the Nationals, the Phillies and the Diamondbacks, so okay, 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.040 they have not played baseball. 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.680 Yeah, but the Phillies lineup is so those are Obviously 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:01.640 you don't like their rotation. 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.120 You told us they're all gonna crumb. No, but the 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.400 lineup is good. Yeah, but the lineup is strong. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.080 So it's it's a surprising stat This is what you 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.000 get when you have a weird spring training followed after 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.760 two weird spring trainings in a row. 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.000 So it's true. 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.480 Whack I'm surprised more whack job stuff hasn't happened. 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.520 So all right, you know, congrats Mets. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.520 Congrats Mets. It don't worry. It won't last box No 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.520 good things ever done, no my Mets. Uh stat heroes. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.840 Justin Verlander. Eight innings, a ks, no walks, no ear runs, 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:37.040 three hits the cy Young odds, which again it was 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.640 very much on this. I tried to get everybody anywhere 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.440 from twenty five to thirty to one after this start. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.360 You know what, it dropped down two bogs thirteen thirteen 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.960 to one. It got sliced almost in half. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.840 So you hit it on its limit. I think I'm not. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.360 Oh, I don't think he is at all. He's justin Verlander. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.679 He's one hundred years old, the innings limits, he doesn't care. 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.040 He's gonna throw to my age, so he is let 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:02.719 it all hang out. Baby, I'd say you I s 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.520 my favorite, justin Verlanders. He's getting out of Ferrari holding 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.760 Kate Upton's hand right after he won the World Series, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.199 and somebody said, man, maybe someday it'll all work out 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:11.920 for Verlander. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:12.720 Who knows. 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.280 That's right? The ty Lord JP says is two start 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.280 week this week. That's very exciting and yeah, Wonkey, says 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.559 de gram who about that Mets rotation, But you know, 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.800 I mean he's got a They got Alex Cobb against 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.400 ty Lord. We'll get to that later in the DFS section. Here. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.600 Marco Gonzalez was good. Six k's seven innings for him, 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.720 Carlos for Don Bogman's dude, nine k's one earned run 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.800 over seven innings. He got another W We mentioned Darvish already. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.480 Cortes was great. Kyle Wright continues to be really good. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.720 I don't know if he's available in any league still, 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.000 but if he is, please go pick this guy up. 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.600 He was pretty good at the end of last year. 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.599 This was a pitcher who was always supposed to be 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.440 good for the Braves in this, you know, this second 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.880 rung of pictures that they were developing. He ended up 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.480 falling behind the Ian Anderson's falling behind the ax breeds 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.800 of the world. As Kyle writs, figured it out, nine 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.240 K and those decisions I didn't I definitely did. 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.640 I gave up on him. You know, Uh, the guy 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.440 that was supposed to turn around, you know, just hadn't. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.400 And he kind of started to see, all right, well, 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.200 maybe this guy is gonna be a permanent reliever. But 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.720 he's making the most out of his opportunity here and 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.760 rolling with it. So you know, let's keep it going, Kyle. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.000 Everyone everyone wanted to happen. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.680 So Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, what do you do and come home? 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.160 Kyle? Philly and your kick? Kyle? 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:35.040 An inside joke, Kyle, what's the one with your velocity? 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.080 Got all right? 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.520 Dylan Sees, by the way, continues to be just a 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.320 rock to eight. K's another guy too. Was a slow 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.520 burn development for Dylan Sees, but he is holding the 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.640 four down for the White Sox in the absence of 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.800 guys like Lance Lynn and Gilido. So shout out to 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.840 Dylan Cees and the hitters. Over the weekend, Lee says 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.440 a Zuki three for six with a dinger yesterday through 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.640 nine games, get four hundred. Not too shabby with four dingers. Oh, 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.840 Tony had himself a weekend man. I haven't the wrong 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:06.320 guy that worked so sure did something? Wasn't it five 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.680 or fifteen over the weekend with three diggers? I wish 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.680 I had picked him instid of trout man, I'd be 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.080 loving life right now. Starling Marte for for twelve with 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.200 two home runs over the weekend. Marcelo Zuna another guy 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.600 that I kind of left for dead this year for 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:20.080 some reason. 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:20.600 I don't know why. 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.280 Maybe maybe a scumbag. But the guy can still hit, 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:30.200 so you know, hey it that that's all you know. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.960 I only understand it right Camp Roster might get it. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.320 But you know, it seems to be on the right track, 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:42.160 you know, after what happened. Yes, not forgiving it obviously, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.120 but seems to be, you know, unlike some other people 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.400 who are still spouting off in the media that pitch 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.320 for teams on the West Coast, you know. 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:50.960 So to speak. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:56.160 Whatever do you mean? Francisco Lindor two home runs on Friday, 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:57.600 By the way, in the afternoon, I got to watch 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.600 that inning live. That was pretty fun. So one from 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.800 each of the plate in that Game's very exciting. Alex 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.240 Verdugo three for ten, two of runs. Verdugo showing a 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.760 little bit more power this year, Bogs. Do you think 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.160 that's just an early, like weird one offer. Do you 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.360 think maybe he's pushing from that fifteen to twenty kind 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.320 of guy to maybe a twenty five to thirty kind 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:15.640 of dude. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.080 I mean, look, when you have power early in this season. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.840 You gotta kind of, you know, give it up for 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.640 these guys, right because everyone talks about well, when the 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.480 weather starts up, ball's gonna start jumping. The power will come. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.600 But if it's there already in April, you have to 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.400 say something. I'm not the biggest Fordugo fan. Guy was 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.600 always a dude at the top of the dugout yelling 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.160 the most and the last guy on the field when 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:35.920 a fight started. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.520 But you know, we'll see what happens. 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.640 By the way, you're getting T shirts made here leading off, 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.200 So I'm not gonna say with this one is I'm 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.840 gonna make you go to the YouTube channel of Fantasy 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.880 Pros MLB to check out with that new T shirt 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.920 that is gonna have Bogman's face already has it, so 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.840 that's sure it does. All right, here's the stat Zeros 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.120 Tyler Molly got lit up for seven earned. We mentioned 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.760 Zach Wheeler, Trevor Rodgers. Now this is what am I doing. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.120 I'm gonna have to listen. I'm just gonna say this, 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.760 and I'm gonna I sometimes you just have to take 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.360 a leap of faith. I'd buy him everywhere. I'm still 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.639 buying him everywhere. Yeah, it's early, buy him everywhere. He's 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.359 too talented, he was too good last year. Health doesn't 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.639 seem to be the issue. This might be your window 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.040 seven and runs. I know Freddy Parolta the same thing. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.120 Those are two of my quote unquote dudes. And I'm 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.080 still not jumping ship. I'm not panicking. In fact, i'd 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.080 buy him everywhere. Give your thoughts on Rogers and Peralta, well, 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:28.600
