We're gonna 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.920 do some deep dives, big deep dives in here. There's 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.760 some kind of significant injuries as well that are floating 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.760 out there. But Bog's the only thing I actually care 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.839 about in the world to know is are you officially 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.880 jumping on Doomsday Day?

It's the only important thing. 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.800 I don't know what we're to talking about Avengers Doomsday. 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.639 Oh okay, okay, I have not seen any trailers. Okay, 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.280 I have not bought any tickets, all right. And I 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.720 also thought that I was lame for not seeing the Odyssey. 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.000 This weekend, so I didn't even know when when is 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.520 Doomsday out until but the tickets are. Of course we 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.320 needed a trailer, you know what. I got all the 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.119 tickets I need. Okay, I have all.

But let's jump into 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.440 the show, and let's jump into the top headline, which 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.200 I do feel that there are many. It is Hunter Goodman. 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.600 Hunter Goodman with his second three run bomb game of 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.920 the season. As you can see on there tying or. 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.720 He is the first in franchise history with multiple three 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.040 home run games. He is also one of only three 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.080 players in baseball to have thirty homers right now, and 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.320 he has been at the tippy top of trade talk 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.120 the Boston Red Sox. I see fans alike across the 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.320 board just trying to make a trade happen for him. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.720 Rockies are lowly and at the bottom. I think there's 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.360 a lot of talk about just him in general as 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.120 a trade option. I will say I was like a 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.600 little just because I think he's a catcher, and I've 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.400 been a little bit like, yeah, you could move off 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.440 of him, blah blah blah. He has been nothing short 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.000 of incredible. Those thirty homers go with sixty two runs, 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.080 fifty six RB guy a two fifty seven average and 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.040 five homers. He is pacing himself out to look like 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.320 he's going to be at a fifty homer mark. So, Bogman, A, 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.360 are you someone that wants to be in an acquisition 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.200 market for Hunter Goodman, and B do you think he's 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:16.880 going to get traded. 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.320 I think a lot of the Rockies are going to 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.839 get traded, right uh I, And I think Hunter Goodman 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.640 is one of those. I just don't know if how 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.760 much longer does he have on this contract. He's not 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.160 a free agent till twenty thirty. He is arbitration eligible 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.479 next year, so it's going to take a ball. This 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.040 is a hall I feel like to get Hunter Goodman. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.360 But if you look at his numbers on the road, 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.160 he has eighteen of his thirty bombs on the road. 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.400 He's hitting two eighty two on the road versus two 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.039 thirty at home. This is a dude that has been 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.760 a better player on the road when his home field 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.560 is Colorado. We're going to talk about another guy a 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.719 little bit, or I guess on a different show in 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.560 the trade market. I want to get rid of if 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.640 he's because he's a Rocky and his numbers at home 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.880 are good. Hunter Goodman is not that guy. He is 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.560 crushing on the road as well. So I absolutely want 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.440 to try to get Hunter Goodman if I can. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.719 Yeah, I've been kind of trading one of the catches. 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:11.960 Every year, by the way, Welsh, is it get col 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.000 Rawley last year? Is gonna be Hunter Goodman this year? 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.640 We have to pick a random one for next year 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.839 as well. What that's just gonna hit fifty homers? 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.480 Oh, catchers? Yeah, I mean it's it's just the new market, 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:25.360 I suppose for it. His splits are weird, though not 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.200 only the home road splits that you mentioned. He's better 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:29.640 on the road, so that's one of those things where 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.080 you typically be like, oh, well, you know, if he 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.080 gets traded and you get out of Colorado, I don't 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.719 like that. That's not a problem really because he hits 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.000 two eighty two on the road, but he also, uh, 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.960 he hits lefties better. He's hitting two ninety six against 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.920 lefties and only two thirty nine against righty's, but twenty 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.719 two of his thirty homers have come against righty's. His 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.120 weird splits are out there, huge trade market stuff. I 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.080 think because of the contract. I just don't know what 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.040 a trade looks like. I think you'd have to trade pitching. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:59.800 I think the Red Sox can do it. Actually kind 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.839 of think think he's going to be a highly sought 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.240 after guy if he were to go to Boston, I 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.840 think this might even still be better. Like I'm let 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.880 me actually look I have it. You know how stat 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.840 cast her Baseball savant does the Homers in a different ballpark. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.040 Let me see what Boston says, So Colorado, it's twenty 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.040 eight if you just hit it home twenty three in Boston. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.200 So there's a little bit of a takeaway in Boston, 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.680 though it doesn't matter because he you know, he does 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.320 it all on the road anyways, So very very interesting. 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.839 And speaking of the Red Sox, by the way, are 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:35.560 they buyers now? The Boston Red Sox have won thirteen games? 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.039 I did a CBS hit almost exclusively talking about this. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.919 Dude, the Mets would never. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.280 Yeah, it's actually insane because if you would have done 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.320 this two or three months ago, like you would laugh 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.240 two months ago at the thought of the Boston Red 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.280 Sox not winning thirteen games but owning a wild card 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.000 spot being buyers because they looked like they were the 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.800 number one sellers on the market. Roll as Chapman see 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.159 us Sonny Gray, see Jared Duran see you you know 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.400 Wilson contray all of those guys. Now it looks like 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:06.960 they're going to be in a spot where I don't 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.400 know if they're gonna make moves away or they're gonna 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.600 move any pieces. Though I do kind of think Jared 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.880 Duran is still weird. I think that's a guy that 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.880 they could move in a trade that's like a plus 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.880 And as a goalie is saying, holding onto a brave, 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.160 I know a brave has been like kind of boring 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.760 a little bit. But since I wanted this weekend, Yeah, 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.480 since July first, he is the highest war of any 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.120 Boston Red Sox hitter. It's almost a full point of 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.400 war him and Saddana Raphael. I've been holding it up. 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.000 My question is really around like do you think there's 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.080 going to be any moves away from any of these 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.760 pieces that are negative and just any takeaways on the 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:44.040 Red Sox in this streak. 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.680 No, I mean they're holding a wildcard spot now, like 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.600 you said, so, I think that they are definitely buyers. 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.160 I don't you know, you dance with the ones that 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.680 brung you. I feel like, for the most case, so 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.160 sure that there'll probably be a trade that pushes somebody 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.160 out of a job. But this is this is working 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.200 right now. It is white hot in working. Maybe when 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.440 they hit a bump in the road. You talk about trades, 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.480 and we're getting to that. We're getting that point where 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.520 you have to because trade deadline is August Frost. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.760 Well, it's actually I think it's the third this year. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:15.800 I think it's weirdly like on this. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.000 I think they're focused on pitching, though the lineup has 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.320 been great, so I do think that they're going to 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.520 be buyers. Thirteen game win streak in a wild card 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.280 spot right now, there's still six games back of first 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.720 in the East, but that doesn't matter that there. Right 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.920 now they are a borderline playoff team, and like I said, 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:33.880 the Mets would never. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.160 I think they are. I think they're I think they're 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:35.800 a last. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.440 Playoff team right now, but I mean to make it, 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.319 yeah for sure. And by the way, odds is sell 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:40.160 fifty to fifty one. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.679 Raman surprised. I'm taking shots with Duran. Here'd be the problem. 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:48.000 Red Sox are winning. As I mentioned a bray You, Sadana, Ralphayela. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.400 They're getting the job done. They're doing this without Crochet, 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.640 They're doing it without Anthony. The outfield is picking it up. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:09:00.680 Here is Jaron Duran's batting averages by month batting averages 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.760 and everything. But let me run through his batting average 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:07.280 by month March one fifty four, April one seventy two, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:12.280 May huh two sixty one, June one forty four, July 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.840 one forty six. He is awful. You want to hear? 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:17.160 Uh? 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.000 I mean, I guess I'm not even do the post 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.199 All Star break, but it's hilarious pre All Star Break 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:25.000 A one ninety four average, A point seventy seven average 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.080 post All Star Game. He's worthless, like in all the 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.480 sense of fantasy and from like a like a production standpoint. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.520 If they were to go and get a guy like 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.599 Hunter Goodman, I kind of think you could move djerand 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.200 Rand's been linked to the Padres a whole lot, Like 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.120 I think there's also just like other little things that 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.319 are flowing out. Did you ever see I know you 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.400 don't pay attention to this stuff, but it's a Jared 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.079 Carabas's podcast, which, however, one of the three of them, 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.800 and there's actually one of the guys the guy follows me. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.680 I think it's Tyler Milken. He's part of it. And 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.080 there's this whole controversy out there that they were all 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:03.320 buddies and stuff, and Milkin like shared some story behind 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.040 the scenes, and Jared Duran like got in his DMS 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.440 and was like, you know, bleep, bleep, bleep, you're dead 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.280 to me type of thing, and they're like. 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.280 Not Jared Durant. He's always been so calm, cool and collected. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:15.360 He's never had an outburst. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.640 He doesn't produce. Boston is turning on him. I just 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.640 think they can use him as an asset. It might 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.960 literally be an addition by substract I almost Welsh as them, 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.880 but addition by subtraction, by getting rid of him and 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.000 using him as an asset, because whoever you bring in, 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.000 if you bring in any offense, which you should is 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.000 probably takes him off the seat. Here. I agree with 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:42.400 the pitching side, but like Jake Bennett number one Boston 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.079 Red Sox pitcher and war over the last month or so, 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:50.200 Bennett Gray Ranger comes back, you got totally like, they 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.560 do need to go and Crochet comes back, you do 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.679 need to make a move. But I actually think offensively 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.120 is the spot that they want to go. And I 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.520 think Jared Duran just kind of I think he goes 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.160 by the wayside. I'm not sure he's knee to continue 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.360 this run, Like, what is he contributed? What would you 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:04.160 say you do? 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:04.920 Jaron? 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.840 Let me look at his last thirteen games. Let's see 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:13.959 how he's checked in. So just since let's see the third, 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.800 I'm guessing this is close to thirteen games he has 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.480 approximately let me look here. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.680 I mean since the Brank two four over three oh four. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.160 Yeah, I'm trying to do rough one here. But June 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.240 third or July third on that is like, it looks 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.559 like almost the thirteen games he has four games of 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:32.800 a hit four games. 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.200 Yes, he's won for seventeen since the break. There you go, 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.360 because they played a doubleheader. So it's been a rough 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.520 go for Jaron Duran. Uh. You know, Beatty here tells 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.120 us you know they're in the market and that Boston 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.520 is one turning on him. I think you're absolutely correct. 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.040 I think getting rid of Jaron Duran would be auditioned 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.760 by subtraction, and I think it would be better for 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.120 him as well. Just get him, you know, put him 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.599 on the Angels somewhere on the West coast, you know 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.800 what I mean, where they're one, be it nearly as 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.560 much pressure. Yeah, And I think that would be good 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:03.559 for him his career. 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.880 And Breslo's got a lot of negative attention to the 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.040 bad trades they've made. I don't think this is one 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.240 where they go in trade and Duran turns around and 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.360 anyone's gonna really care, Like, I just don't think that's 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.640 the one that's gonna get held against you, especially if 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.240 the team can go and acquire someone like a Hunter Goodman, 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:19.240 so kind of look out for that. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.200 Also, only if Goodman comes in and is terrible in Boston, 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.560 that's the only way that would, you know, come back, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.440 Like no one works out from the deal on the 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.160 Boston side and then Duran goes off, That's the only 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.880 way that would come back. But everyone it feels like 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.600 Duran is not long for Boston. 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.160 Yeah, and the Padres one has been rumored like forever 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.240 forever ever, So I think they're kind of like buyer 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.400 slash sellers. Like. At the same time, there's a lot 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.120 of Mason Miller trade stuff, which I think later in 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.520 the week, maybe Wednesday, I think we'll do a little 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.360 trademarket check in. I'm not gonna be here Thursday Friday 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.080 on those shows, but Wednesday, Bogman will be back with me. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:53.839 We'll maybe look at a little bit of like a 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.040 you know what's going on in the trademarket the rumors 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.280 because Mason Miller's out there. By the way, fun stat 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.320 from with the Red Sox in their thirteen game winning streak. 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.960 Today there's a game between the Red Sox and the Orioles, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.360 and the Orioles are on like a seven game winning streak. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.560 I think it is. This will be the second time 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.200 in MLB history in which two teams this is from 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.600 optastats in which two teams on win streaks of seven 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.480 plus games meet and the combined win streak is twenty 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.760 plus games. That's kind of like a goofy stat that 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.800 I would usually pick apart. But check this out. The 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:28.680 other time this happened eighteen eighty four. September thirteenth, eighteen 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:29.360 eighty four. 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.280 You have to love baseball. Look at that. Yeah, nothing, 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.600 This has not happened since eighteen eighty four, and we 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.120 get to see it in twenty twenty six. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:43.840 It was the Washington Nationals and the Saint Louis Browns Maroons. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:45.720 Maroons had the wrong color. 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.240 My bad, okay, very big color base didn't. I didn't 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.720 know that was even a thing. But the Saint Louis 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.720 Maroons were on a twelve game streak and the Washington 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.000 Nationals were on eleven game streak. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.320 So and by the way, not the pen, we're not 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:01.000 playing that day. 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.000 Yeah, so it's a weird, weird one, all right. In 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.880 some of the performance market, Yamamoto complete game, nine innings, 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.400 four hits to and round seven strikeouts. And here's a 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.800 little crazy stat for you, bogs. Yamamoto has gone six 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.960 innings or more in every single start this season but two. 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:24.880 So that is sixteen of eighteen starts he has gone 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.280 six innings or more justifying a quality start whether he 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.400 gets it or not. That's a crazy stat, especially from 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.240 a Dodger pitcher, which we all kind of like assume, 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.400 you know, the injuries and maybe not going deep into 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.120 games because six man rotations. He's kind of defined that. 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.440 And I will totally admit when we have these conversations 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.920 about all these just awesome pitchers and stuff, I feel 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.600 like I do dismiss Yamamoto and I don't put him 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.200 in the conversation when I'm like, hey, look at him, 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.080 Dodgler and Chase Burns and all those type of guys. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.720 Yeah, it's a Dodgers thing. They haven't had somebody for 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.520 fantasy like this since probably Kershaw. You know, I don't 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.520 well I shouldn't say that, but this is a crazy 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.600 year for Yamamoto. He is absolutely dominating, and it felt like, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.480 you know, coming off the playoffs, uh, with all that 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.200 extra work that he had. Remember he came in and 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:15.560 came seven too. That. Eh, maybe the beginning of the 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.520 year might be a little slow. We've seen this, you know, 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.920 Zach Gallon has not been the same since his big 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.800 playoff run, right, so, uh, we see this a lot 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.440 with pictures, but Yamamotos just seems like the terminator out 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.080 there right now, just every single start. You know, he's 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.480 going to go deep. And he has been really really 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.880 good the whole year. So definitely, I mean where is 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:35.120 he in? 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.400 Say Young talks, Well, the NL is just too is 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:45.240 He's somewhere, But the NL is Miserowski, It's Chris Sanchez, 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.280 it's Schemes. I mean, he's in the talk. It's just like, 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.280 how does he over? I mean, how does he do it? 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.880 Miserowski gets really babied and maybe has a little aunt 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.520 Chris Sance two. Yeah, I mean like. 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.240 So it's minus from which it should be But like 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.080 you mentioned, the Brewers came out and said we're gonna 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.720 get real creative the day after I drafted him third overall, 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.280 by the way, we're gonna get real creative with his 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.800 innings down the stretch. Obviously, Christopher Sanchez has had a 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.520 great year as well. He's plus six hundred, and then 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.200 Chris Sale has been just piling wins plus eight hundred, 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.480 Zach Wheeler with a great year plus fifteen hundred, and 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.360 then we have Burns Yamamoto checking in at plus two thousand. 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.840 So I mean, maybe maybe not a bad bet right now. 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.520 By the way, what do you think about this? CP? Paulson? 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.400 Do I sit Chris Sanches tonight versus the Dodgers even roughly? 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.000 He's just one of those guys, I totally, it's justifiable. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.440 But he's one of those guys you just don't sit 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:37.200 like I'm not. 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.320 Yeah, I mean, especially if you're in daily you know 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.200 what I mean. If you're in a weekly, though, you're 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.560 gonna because you're gonna get him twice yeaheah, exactly, so 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.880 you can't. Yeah, I'm rolling him just to see what 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.480 it looks like. You're right, it hasn't looked good. I 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.320 understand the gut instinct, but I'm rolling him. 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.120 Going over to the padres kind of coming back to them. 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.520 It's funny. Some people are in the comments wanting to 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.600 talk about Fernando tatists. We are going to talk about Tatis. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.960 But Jackson Merrill had a two homer game for this month, 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.760 hitting two sixty seven this month, which has been really 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.320 good for him, averages up to two twenty one. But 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.240 check this out on screen. This is what I wanted 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.040 to show you because I had this, I put a 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.080 note in here where I was like, man, Jackson Merrill 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:25.440 is just like Jazz Chisholm in the outfield and no joke. 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.520 I went and I had the two Savant pages, and 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.520 there's obviously difference as Jazz has been a little bit 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:34.000 more dominant. But this is an absolutely free plug because 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.719 Baseball Savant today released their comparison tool, and that's what 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.160 you're looking at. There's a tab up at the top 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.600 where you can put a multitude of players. My god, 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.400 am I gonna lose a lot of time here because 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.600 this is the graphic what it ends up looking like. 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.199 And I just did and I was like, oh, I 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.960 literally wrote Merrill is kind of Jazz chisselm me here 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.960 and I put it in the tool. We dropped it 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.119 out of here as and you can see, well, I 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.960 mean there's like there's similarities, like Jazz is walking a 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.800 little bit more, but just from like a visual standpoint, 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.280 you can see Jackson Merrill's i mean better sprint speed 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:13.879 by the way adequately the same runner, better defender. But 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:15.439 then you can go and look and you can just 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.960 see like, well, Jazz is actually squaring the ball up 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:22.840 a little bit more, he's chasing less, where Jackson Merrill 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:24.840 is definitely getting the ball in the air more. His 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.639 bat speed's been better, his hard hit rate. Just a 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:28.520 kind of cool thing. 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.680 It was a sweet spot difference though, Yeah. 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.560 No, I know, And it was like a very it 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.800 was just a very like random thing where I was 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:38.480 looking at Meryl and I'm like, this is just and 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.000 part of it speaks to Jazz because it's like he 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.800
