May the Fourth be with you. It's 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.440 me Joey P. Joe P's a pier. And if you're 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.239 wondering why I sound like this on the podcast, it's 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:29.720 because I'm speaking through a Darth Vader mask. On the 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:34.840 YouTube channel YouTube dot com Slash Fantasy Pros MLB. We're 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.800 brought to you by bet MGM, the King of sports Books. 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.120 I don't know if I could possibly get my crown 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.880 over this helmet, but we might try later. Mike Mayer 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.960 is with us today. What's up, Mike Mayor? And no, 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.519 it's not funny. Stop telling me to take the mask off, 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.960 because I already took the mask off because that's just 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.080 my face. Everyone. Geez, you guys are mean. Peanuts and 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.600 cracker jacks are tough. But anyway, Mike Mayor, speaking of 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.920 bet MGM, our sponsor of our show, I noticed that 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.560 Jamie Foxx is on the new commercial for bet MGM. 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.679 And the thing I noticed about that is it's not me. 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.160 It's not me on the big national commercial. Now you're 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.200 my agent, and I want to ask you what the 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:12.959 hell's going on with that? 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.559 My friend he's slightly more popular than you. 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.840 So maybe maybe if you had stuck with acting and 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.880 didn't go into fantasy, maybe we could have gotten use 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.120 some of that bet MGM money. But for now, you know, 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.480 just you know, stick with your crown and we'll see 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:26.960 where it goes. 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.039 Listen, if you want to keep being my agent, I 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.160 need those kind of gigs, that's all I'm saying. I got. 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.200 I need some more national commercials. 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.920 I have to keep you grounded first off, to keep 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:37.360 you grounded. 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.600 Good luck with that. All right, speaking of being grounded, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.120 let's hit the ground running. You see what I did there? 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.960 Little segue and talk about the headlines from Major League Baseball. 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.200 Let's start with some good news. How about this a 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.520 little prospect stuff all over the place. Let's start with 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.240 good things. Bobbywood Junior hit his first home run. Congratulations 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.920 to you, Bobby Wood Junior. It wasn't exactly an earth 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:06.480 shattering crushed baseball. He was a wall scraper basically, but 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:11.079 still got it. Build He golfed, he did. He went 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.160 down and got it. He golfed it out. It got 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.600 over the fence. It's a home run. Maybe he could 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.480 take a little deep breath. I think Bobby what Junior 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.520 will be fine. I've always thought he would be fine, 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.239 always thought Julio would be fine. Joe Adell, on the 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:23.720 other hand, I don't know if he's gonna be fine. 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.519 He was sent down, So Joe Adell with the Los 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.919 Angeles Angels of Anaheim gets sent down. Ward's been on fire. 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.600 We all think Brandon Marsh has been more good than bad. 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.840 So what do you make of the Joe Adell going 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.040 back to Triple A again? Is this the time to buy? 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.880 Is this just kind of maybe what jo Adell is 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.840 going to be. Maybe he's not going to be the 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.320 uber prospect we thought he might be and break in 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:49.959 and be a superstar. Is he a guy that's gonna 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.480 float between the big leagues and Triple A for his career? 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.360 What are your thoughts on Joe Adell right now? 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.440 I don't have many good thoughts on Joe Adell. 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.480 It's been concerning since he came out last year, and 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.000 it seems like he's one of those guys that kind 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.480 of goes into the you know, he goes back down 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:06.919 to the miners and like looks fine, but then he 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.960 comes up and he looks completely lost again. And we 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.239 haven't seen any growth in like over a year now, 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:17.360 and I don't have any shares. People in my dynasty 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.320 leagues are like selling them. They're like, hey, I'm a 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.080 win now team. If anyone wants to buy Adele and 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.680 he's just getting crickets, so that's what. 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.880 You're as he should now, I would buy low if 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.680 somebody's just trying to get out, I don't know that 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.480 i'd buy freeh See now, I see I'm always every 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.200 like the million dollar man. Everybody has their price, That's 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.200 what I think. So for me, I'd still buy low. 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.360 In the dynasty formats and redrafts right now, that's a 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.560 whole other story. And redrafts, I think we all had 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.880 high expectations off a really good spring. Strikeouts are a problem. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.560 I mean, and for a guy who's athletic like Joe Adell, 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:52.960 he should be hitting balls on the ground. He should 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.000 be hitting line drives, trying to get infield hits. He 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.800 should be trying to just beat out uh, you know, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.320 throws from the corner. I mean, there's just there's there 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.040 could be so much more to his game, but to me, 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.600 it's just the approach. The approach is completely for cocta 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.600 and I don't know how to spell that. Well. Yeah, 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.480 look it's a family show. I always, you know, try 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.280 to keep it a nice way. Now, we did get 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.599 a call up also from the Cardinals. All right, everybody, 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:25.159 here we go. It's Wan Yepez, not Nolan Gorman. 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.880 Wan Yepez, who I thought I missed something for the 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:30.320 news desk. 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:31.839 I'm gonna be right that. 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.479 Wait wait wait, wait wait what? Uh no, no, no. 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.520 Yepez registered a nine to seventy two ops with thirty 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.960 one one runs and eighty nine ribies in one hundred 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.240 and fourteen career games of Triple A. He's twenty four 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.160 years old, and the Cardinals looking to boost the offense 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.440 a little bit, so Wan Yepez will be part of 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:52.000 the roster. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.200 Uh so this is not an issue? Are you just 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:55.599 reading this like from memory? 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.400 Yeah, this literally just happened about, I don't know a 0:04:58.440 --> 0:04:59.160 little while ago. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.880 So it's just up in your brain with your manscaped 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.640 read you just memorize one. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.160 My brain is a very scary place where manscape reeds 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:14.839 live and random useless information. So look how much Yepez plays, 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.120 I don't you know. But whatever Yupez can do, I 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.680 would say, first off, if he's in a lineup and 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.800 he's super cheap in DFS for two K or something 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.280 like that on fandel or DK. You could throw him 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:28.560 if he's in the lineup and see what you get 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.080 out of him. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that. 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.440 Sometimes it's great to take advantage of that when the 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.479 system hasn't caught up to him. Other headlines, though, Mike Mayer, 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.919 Dusty Baker gets his two thousandth win. Congratulations to Dusty 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.280 Kimberl locks down if he's save at the very end, 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.799 Zanino plays hero with a ninthitting dinger, and also Christian 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.680 Walker Homer's his Diamondbacks went again, So the d Backs 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.719 on fire cars. Carrasco threw eight Squirrels innings in a victory, 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.839 and the Mets swept the Braves in the double header yesterday. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.200 That was a good feeling. So we like that. So 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.680 any of these headline do you want to take anything 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:02.360 away from there? 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.360 Well, you know, congrats a Dusty Baker, two dozen wins, 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.680 probably a Hall of Fame manager, probably a lot to 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:10.960 be in the Hall of Fame at this point, right, 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:15.160 even just for like sticking around for more than you know, 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.800 success reasons. But yeah, that's about it. Shout out to 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.559 Wonky Penguin. You know, Zazino is her guy. I don't 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.320 think she called him for a home run though, so 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.920 shame on her for that. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.599 Wow, you were very quick to to get rid of 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.720 and and also praise the penguin that was. That was 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:40.200 pretty rough turnaround there, fast, right, I guess. And if 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.720 you don't, you know, stop to smell the roses, you 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.599 might miss something. Here's some other things. To Miguel Sono, 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.560 it's gonna miss significant time there with that MCL surgery. 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.360 I don't know if anybody cares about that anymore. Uh 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.680 do you care about that? Mike Bear Miguelson know, I 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.919 think another player where we constantly we're hoping that at some 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:00.800 point in time things would go in the right direction. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.200 It just never really has happened, right, said No, I 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.400 don't care, So no, very nice, nice dad joke there. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.320 Y Stremsky with COVID should return today. Evan Longori and 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.760 Tommy Lastello began their rehab assignments on Tuesday. So if 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.760 you need some corner help and Evan Longoria is floating 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.120 out there, I would pick him up to ask Hernandez 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.000 is reheb game homers and doubles. Nelson Cruz, though exits 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.960 with a stiff back, a lot of back issues. Nelson 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.240 Cruise with a back and also Josh Hater having back spasms. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.240 So that's not great. But let's get to Can we 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.120 talk about this because this was trending on Twitter yesterday 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.800 it was the feel good story. Mike Mayer is rolling 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.400 his eyes already. I don't know why you don't like 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.480 feel good stories, mayor what's matter with you? But in 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.560 Toronto last night, Aaron Judge at a home run, monstrous 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.240 home run. There was a little boy who did not 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.440 catch the home run, wearing an Aaron Judge shirt, jersey, whatever, 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.160 And of course, one of the Blue Jays fans who 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.640 caught it immediately turns and hands it to the kid, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:04.880 who burst into tears, hugs and felt so it felt 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.960 so good to watch such a feel good thing happened. 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.960 It was really something and it just proves the Canadians 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.120 are the best of North America at the end of 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.720 the day. I mean, let's let's call it what it is. 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.160 Did you see this can not be romantic about baseball? 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.440 I don't know. I'm waiting for the hallmark movie to 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.800 be made about it. I can tell you that much. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.880 This boy struggles. But did it did it warm your 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.680 cockles of your cold heart? Because you all know you're 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.400 a cold hearted You know what, Mayor, it was. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.920 A nice moment. It's another moment in Yankee Stadium. Who cares? 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:38.960 We've overdone it a little bit. I mean, this is 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.360 what this guy should do, right like you. It would 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:42.920 be a story if he didn't give that kid the ball, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.080 because then he would be a jerk. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:46.800 I don't know. Canadians don't know if it was. 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:47.920 It was a slow night. 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:49.800 It's been all over like quick pitched this morning. I'm like, 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.240 all right, we get it, Like it's fine. 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:56.160 Wow. Mike Mayris is vicious man. Everyone thinks Mayor's so 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.719 nice all this stuff. No, no, no, he's He's the 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.840 vicious one. I'm the nice guy. Who would have thought. Also, 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.559 last night the Rays and A's had a game. Nobody 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.280 was there to see it. He attendance. Here's the number 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.320 for the attendance, twenty four eighty eight, two four hundred 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.320 and eighty eight people. Now that was the announced attendants. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:15.760 I don't know if it was less. That is the 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:20.360 lowest in franchise history since nineteen eighty. I've been to 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.280 fifteen ballparks in my life, fifteen different MLB ballparks. Oakland 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.240 is by far the worst one that I've ever been to. 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.600 Everything about it is terrible. The vantage points are terrible, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.400 the seats are terrible. And I've been to see baseball 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.760 in Montreal and that was kitchy and fun and weird. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.480 It was very bizarre. It was kind of like being 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.440 on shrooms and watching baseball. The whole experience. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.800 Being in Oakland in general isn't isn't great. 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.600 Being Oakland in general not great, but being in the 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.560 ballpark worse. It's just concrete and terrible. They don't even 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:52.440 have helmets Sundays. It's it's a disaster. Are we gonna 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.040 see the Las Vegas A's pretty soon because I'm starting 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.920 to feel like that might be where we're going with. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.160 This probably, And I've seen some people kind of like 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.280 crap on the fans for this, but like, I applaud 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.800 the fans for this because this is a revolt against 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:06.800 the ownership, and like. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.520 I think they should just not show up. I hope 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.120 they have a game where they're zero fans in the. 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:15.240 Stance Wow, cold heart Mayor that's when Red Baron over 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.520 there in the Peanuts and Cracker Jacks. You are, man, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.720 You're cold blooded. All right, let's go to Joey tough guys. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.680 You know this was this was a hybrid. You know 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.960 we always do like Joe's tough guys. Or do you 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:27.920 know this day in baseball history before we get to 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.199 more fantasy talk and wagering and betting all that stuff, 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.079 we've got a little bit longer. But this this came 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.000 up today. I thought this was amazing because I wondered 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.440 in this day and age, Mike mahyor of social media 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.480 and everybody knowing everything, and also about the way that 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.280 we've kind of evolved as people. Yet we're still pretty 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.160 awful at the end of the day. And hence the 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.360 issue with Miles Straw Yankee Stadium a few weeks ago 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.280 and a couple of days ago. So in nineteen eighty two, 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.480 Twins rookie outfielder Jim Eisenreich, who many of us children 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.440 of the eighties remember very well, very good player, who 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.079 suffered from the sorder of Touret syndrome. He was forced 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.680 to remove himself in a five to three loss to 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.960 the Red Sox when the Red Sox fans were taunting 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:15.240 himless mercilessly and his violent twitching became uncontrollable. Eisenwright kitting 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.880 three ten. After making that jump from a ball to 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.440 the big leagues, listen to this story. He ends up 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:24.599 getting hospitalized in May, and then he ends up retiring 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.880 in nineteen eighty four. He is so like, just overwhelmed 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.760 with all this. Eventually, he does come back with the 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.120 Worlds in eighty seven and ends up having a pretty 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.960 good major league career. So imagine this, imagine that episode 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.920 happening in Boston now, which I think we all can, 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.040 but imagine, you know, making fun of this guy who 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.079 has Touret syndrome and all these you know things that 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:45.839 he's out there trying to play professional baseball for the 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.040 God stays with it. How different would that story land 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.679 now that it would in nineteen eighty two, Mike. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:56.000 Maher, It would be a bigger story than anult an 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:57.840 adult giving a kid a baseball at a game. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.800 I can tell you that. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.880 Are we I'm sure this story is true. This seems fake. 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:08.719 No, this is god wow, geez, Mike Mayor, you know, 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.040 my goodness, the fake stories. This is a real story. 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.080 I remember him having tourettes. 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.320 And I remember you remember the story. You were there. 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.839 I don't remember the story. I was just a boy. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.640 I remember Eisenwreich in the late eighties as a royal 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.240 one hundred percent. But I remember he came up with 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.800 the I didn't realize that he had retired and he'd 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.000 gotten so, you know, upset and frustrated and embarrassed and 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.360 all these things. This is crazy, all right. A little 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.920 bit of trivia for you. Which team has Dusty Baker 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.760 defeated the most times? So Peanuts and cracker Jacks. If 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.560 you got an answer for that, you can win my 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.680 respect again. Which team has Dusty Baker defeated the most 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.960 times in his major league career as a manager. So 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:49.679 if you know the answers to that, go for it. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.079 All right, Let's get to the stat heroes. Brandon Woodruff 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.000 twelve k's bounced back over the Reds. Guess what tonight, 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.760 I'm gonna go right back to the Reds and right 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.480 back with Freddy Parolta, Freddy p I'm man, oh baby, 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.120 this is easy money. The first thing I did this 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.800 morning when I looked at this Lady's like, Oop, who 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.040 are the Reds playing? Oh? That's right, Milwaukee, that's Freddy 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.040 p Oh, he's cheap. Let's go all the lineups this morning. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.679 That's all I spent my whole morning doing Michael Waka. Good. 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.679 I'm so exciting. I got a hiccup about it. Michael Waka, 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.839 he's got a one thirty eight era, but nineteen k's 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:26.000 but everything innings, pitch, but everything else. Basically, Mike Maryory, 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:27.880 you're telling us this is time to sell high on 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.400 Michael Waka if you can get out right, if. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.360 You can, yeah, if if anyone is willing to buy 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.240 Michael Walker from you, so sell as fast as you can. 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.680 Noah, Cinderguard's seven innings against Boston yesterday and a loss, 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.800 three strikeouts, only fourteen strikeouts in the twenty four innings, 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.120 What do you make of that? Like, I think we're 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.079 all happy. The Cinderguard is just pitching. Do you think 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.280 that the feel for pitching and the strikeouts will come 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.600 as the weather gets better and he gets a little 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.040 bit more, you know, acclimated up to stuff. Or is 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.400 this the new cyinder Guard that we are stuck with now? 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.600 I'm not really sure. I was looking at the numbers 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.680 this morning, and his velocity is way down. It's like, 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.959 you know, he's like sticker in his fast both like three. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.520 But hold on a second, to be fair, in the 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.200 words of Letter Kenny, to be fair, he was one 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.480 of the top velocity guys in all Major League Baseball. 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.720 So it's still it's below him, but is it below 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.560 enough now? And I saw him last night. He was 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.960 sitting around like ninety three ninety four. This is a 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.160 guy who was sitting at ninety eight. Do you think 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:25.640 he can't get guys out at ninety four? 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.480 Well, I think that's what we're seeing now. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.560 And he himself has said he expects his velocity to 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.360 tick back up as he as he continues to ramp up. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.680 I mean, we'll see if that's actually true. But I mean, 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.280 he's it seems like he's pitching, like it seems like 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.480 he used to like throw and just had electric stuff 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.440 before and now he's pitching, and now he's like sprinkling 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.120 in his change up and he's like somewhat pitching more 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.320 to contact, and so like, I'm kind of enjoying this 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.360 evolution of Noah Sinderguard and we'll. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.880 See how it evolves. Over time. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.920 I mean, obviously you want to see more strikeouts. But 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.840 I mean if he's effective in this new version, then 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.760 you know, I'm all for you know, the new Thor. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.520 Would you like the new thor for twenty nine starts 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:14.600 but a lower k per nine and again more effective? 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.840 Or do you want you know, twenty start thor throwing 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:19.800 gas to striking out? 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:20.000 Guy? 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.120 I guess in season long roto, that's a question you 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.200 have to ask yourself, right. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.560 Why not both? Why can I not have both? 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.840 You can't have both. Stop being a greedy person. No, 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.000 you can't have both. Let's go to some other ones. 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.480 Julio Yuri's four ks no earned and win over the Giants. 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.320 Carls Carrasco eight innings pitched. Again, we talked about him 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.240 five k's against the Bravos, so he's bouncing back nicely 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.360 after a bad start. Alec Manoa seven k's, got no decision, 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:48.560 but again, Alec Manoa owns the Yankees. I mean, it's 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.120 just amazing thing to watch tie on in that game 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.560 at four k's he got the win over the blue 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.000 Jay six innings, one earned, a Christian Hobbier five and 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.440 a third four k's one walk, that era is down 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.480 to point nine six for Hobby or Brad Keller three 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.920 walks only two strikeouts, but his eras on to one, 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.040 seven to four after their six and third scoreless for him, 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.760 And I'm Barto Castellanos got a great name there, and 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.680 it went over the Marlins five and two thirds no 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.000 earned runs. Yes, Mike Mary, one of these things seemed 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:18.040 to catch your fancy. 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.080 Yeah, it was kind of funny. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.600 I don't know why I follow fist Stripes one of 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.640 the Marlins blogs on Twitter, but I do. And I 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.360 saw them like kind of like tweeting out tweeting about 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.720 Castianos before the start, like talking about how Low's velocity was, 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.680 and then like he just went out and dominated, and 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.960 so it's pretty funny to kind of like see him 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.440 beat the Marlins, and like they were tweeting about his 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.120 fastball being like eighty eight miles an hour. 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.520 So that was pretty funny. And then also. 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.840 I think it's one of like the fan sided blogs, 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.120 Orpipe Nation blogs. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.000 I think, I don't know. I lived in Florida for 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.200 a while, I follow some weird stuff. 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.480 I don't know that it explains a lot about you 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:54.880 explain a lot. 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.240 And then Brad Keller Era down to one seven four. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.960 His metrics are like better than Waka, but still like 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.119 just okay. And he's on a bad team, so probably 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.120 selling him too, all right. 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.400 The hitters from last night Willia Damas home run three 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.160 Ribbies four home runs this week. He's on fire. He's 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.000 in all Milwaukee stacks tonight. Spoiler alert. Jordan Alva is 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.080 up to eight dingers, four in the last five days. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.000 Also on fire, Eric Judge and Fuego another home run 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.000 for him. It was given away to a young fan. 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:28.280 It was so beautiful. Josh Bell three for five, a 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.520 home run, batting three sixty six, the k percentage way down, 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.080 but comes with a four to h three babbit. So 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:36.679 do you think that Josh Bell is going to turn 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:37.800 to a pumpkin here pretty soon? 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.600 Uh? Yeah, I think. I mean, I think he is 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.280 what he is at this point, right, Like he you know, 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.120 he's like the high power just fine sixty guy. Yeah, 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:47.440 he's fine, He's just fine. 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.360 He's two sixty twenty five home runs and that's fine. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.840 I got no beef with that, as long as you know. 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.240 Over paid for Tommy fam three four with a home run. CJ. 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.320 Crohn another home run. My god, CJ. Cron Can, I'll 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:03.000 be stopped three for three? Who else we got air? 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.680 Matt Olsen finally gets off the schneid. There he's been quiet. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.159 He hit a home run, real, Muto went yard, Christian Walker, 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:12.040 we mentioned Bobby wit Jonaheim hit a home run, and 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.160 Edward ala Veris. I'm just glad that vlad Guerrero did 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.080 not hit a home run yesterday. I was very happy 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.200 to see that stat. Zero's besides Mike Mayer in the 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:24.560 home run category. Hermon Marquez seven earned ten hits too, 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:29.119 walks five k's and lost to the Rockies. Herman Marquez 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:34.440 Rockies pitchers just in general. I mean, we've seen Ubaldo 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:38.440 had that run, Marquez had it run. Nobody can sustain 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.760 the run. I have said this and people think it's 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.200 a hot take. I don't think the Rockies can ever 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.360 win a World Series ever. I don't think it can 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.639 be done. I think the ballpark environment is just something 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.280 that is not conducive to any long term sustained winning 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:59.280 of what baseball normally is. Do you think that anybody 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.960 can go to Colora Chlorao can figure out a way 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.359 because they've been chasing like the last team, it was good. 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.280 It was like that Matt Holliday team, right, they went 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.360 there against the Red Sox, but like that was an 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.400 epic run. Everything broke right for them. The other great 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.760 run is when they had Larry Walker and Andres Gala 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.800 Raga and Datte Boschett and they just dash everybody's brains in. 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.840
