My 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:17.840 days are all screwed up because we had the off 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.320 day on Monday. I don't know what day it is, 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.600 but Welsh, how'd you play today? How was the wind? 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.360 I see you're just off the golf course. And do 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.560 you have a little cigar on the back of nine? 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:28.120 How was it? 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.920 I wear polo one time and it's like, oh, mister 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.800 fancy bands, did you go and play nine? Did you 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.240 go and play Pinehurst? It's just a topolo. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:39.200 Do you live in Arizona? You play? 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:40.199 No, not at all. 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.400 I played like three or four times in my life, 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:45.599 not very I can hit an iron, can't hit a 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:47.960 I can't hit a driver. 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.080 It was a four year window where I played a 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.680 lot and I got pretty good, and then I had 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.680 kids and then that was it and I've never played since. 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:55.680 And I kind of miss it. 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.760 I kind of like it, but maybe that's retirement, right, 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.040 that's what you do. Not that I'm ember going to retire. Yeah, 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:02.240 that's not gonna happen. 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.000 But well, you got to get a polo first. You 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.520 can't play golf apparently if you don't have. 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:08.560 The problem is not the polos. 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:14.600 That is a specifically Nike driven golf it actually is 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.760 like that's not as our producer said. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.880 But the drive fit is what Welsh's rockets it is. 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.880 But all of these things are correct. 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.640 All right, Let's let's get after everybody, and remember we 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.720 only got a couple days left for the Jose Ramirez jersey. 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.560 We're giving it away here.

Welsh, let's 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.280 just dive right in today. Because Ellie de la Cruz 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:55.920 was a player, I feel like we were just talking 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.000 about saying, you know, we haven't had one of those 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.120 signature Ellie hot streaks yet. I think we might be 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.120 starting to get one. Two for four, a pair of 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.520 solo homers yesterday against the Royals Welsh. 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:07.960 Is it Ellie time? Finally? 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.200 You know, it's really funny that we are doing this 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.520 because I did like an extensive just. 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.240 Look through, just trying to look through the profile. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.240 We're not going to get everything you know we want 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.880 out of, you know, like looking at Savann, but just 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.440 going through from obviously like the normal hitting metrics to 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.000 deep down and I'm just not sure if there is 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:31.079 something to pinpoint the like, you know, is Ellie taking 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.760 a step back or is he ready to take that 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.280 big jump up. I think Ellie just might be this 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.320 version of Ellie where what you're alluding to it is 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.639 like he's just going to go through some runs. He's 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.480 going to go through some streaks, like he's barreling at 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.720 the best rate he has. He's hitting the ball as 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.519 hard as ever. Hitting hard hit rate is up there, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.400 strikeouts are down a tiny bit. He's really struggling against 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.520 breaking down type, so split fingers and change up, so 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.360 that type of breaking pitch where it's gonna come up 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.639 and back sides, you know, sliders and stuff. Maybe he's 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.480 getting to but again you look through across the board, 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.359 it's just kind of Ellie, And I think that's going 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.799 to be what Ellie is is like you're going to 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.000 have a month where it's you're going to have these 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.920 big explosive months currently you know, you're saying, is at 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.280 Ellie time, he said he's only like two twenty something, 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.799 but he's got six homers, So he's loud with those 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.400 counting stats. And I think that's what makes him so unique. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:26.840 He might be one of. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:33.399 The most movable Rodo versus head to head guys in fantasy. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.480 You know that discussion we always have where it's like, 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.080 you know, at the end of the day, you get 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.320 your stats, blah blah blah. But if you get a 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.720 guy that is just going to just accumulate stats on 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.440 a weekly in basis like that is really really great 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.400 and it's an extra boost for a head to head. 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.320 He might be a guy that is maybe he's more 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.600 deserved of being like eight or nine in the ranks 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.800 for Rodo, but maybe he's a top three or four 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.400 guy in head to head because those explosive weeks can 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.000 change absolutely everything. Yeah, this still one basis the whole. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.880 But I'm still a huge fan of Ellie. There's a 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.760 lot of good stuff. There's a lot of progression in 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.920 his game despite some of these struggles. He's kind of 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.800 continuously changing his stance a little bit. He's hitting the 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.560 ball really hard, he hasn't gotten in the air as much. 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.560 I think all those things can continue. So I'm like 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.200 just still a long term firm buyer, but maybe there's 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:21.880 a tiny bit more value in head to head over 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:23.160 Rodo Choyo. 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.919 Tellaney hit his twentieth homer and two walks yesterday, so 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.239 he's on fire as well. Great performances yesterday, including Carlos 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.280 Rodin seven shout out an thinks ten strikeouts and it went 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:38.360 over the Angels. But but Luke Weaver was unavailable last night, 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.000 so they turned the keys over to Devin Williams, who 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.800 gave up two runs. He did hold on to the save, 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.240 but it was by the hair and his chinny chin chin. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.120 So Luke Weaver might have gotten off last night, but 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.360 I don't think he's getting off that closer role anytime soon. 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.719 Welsh, I this is what we were waiting for waiting 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.760 to see, Hey, he's gonna get that gig. It might 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.960 happen unfortunate. Yeah, I don't think he's gonna be getting 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:02.520 that either, and. 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.920 Give him a solo homer and two hits after. Like 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.200 it was. It was one of those moments. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.719 Where you're watching it in the fantasy community, go okay, 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.839 here we go. Can Devin will Yeah, if it was 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.960 a girathree down and he looked great, you'd hear today 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:16.960 all the chatter go get David Williams. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:17.719 He's gonna be back. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.479 I don't see that happen anytime soon. I mean we're 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.920 talking months now, like, not weeks. I'm telling you, I 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.880 will say flowder get hurt at this point. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.520 One thing like it is so key in that managerial 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.440 world where they're gonna go they're gonna be like, well, 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.000 you know he did give up those runt but if 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.400 you saved it, if you saved it, they'll look past 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:38.120 all that stuff. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:39.480 Oh, you overcame adversity. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.560 So as much as we're saying this, I legitimately do 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.760 think you will see another save opportunity in the near future. 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.800 But it's it's gonna be key if he can have 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.200 them clean whatsoever. So I still think Weaver's got that 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.000 gig for another month or so. And really, the prediction 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.240 we set on this show the minute Devin Williams lost 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.800 that gig was is like living correctly. Hey, Luke Weaver 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.839 is going to have more than a month. 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.039 Plus worth of value. So that's why you needed to 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:05.880 go and pick him up. 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.640 It's just Devin Williams is making it easier for him 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.480 to hold that gig the rest of the year right now. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.559 Well, Luke Weaver is making it hard to take it away. 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.320 Let's give him some credit too. He's been terrific and 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.200 he's done it in the postseason. Last time we saw 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.760 Devin Williams in the postseason, he was giving up a 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.840 big home run to Pete Alonzo. Let's not forget that spent. 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.320 He's like Brad Lidge syndrome. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:23.480 Man. 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.600 Sometimes guys just get lit and then they're never the 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:26.360 same guy again. 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.279 And that DAMNM just saying. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.799 Spencer Schreider four and two thirds yesterday in a spot 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.839 against the Philadelphia Phillies, struck out seven, walked four, So 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.120 location is still a bit of an issue there, and 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.640 also location of a fastball that went right into the 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.159 elbow of Bryce Harper. Now X rays were negative, but 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.640 he was in a lot of pain. He came out 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.320 of that game. I don't think we've got any updates 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.679 today on it, but I'd be surprised. I'd be shocked 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.279 if he was in the lineup today, despite the fact 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.359 that he's a tough guy. I just you know, this 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.280 was a scary moment, but it seems as though he's 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.520 avoided disaster. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.360 Yeah, and you know two pitch pitchers like Strider, you 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.600 got to have them both going. He had a twenty 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.080 six percent zone percentage on his slider, so it was 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.800 only getting to the zone a quarter of the time, 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.760 which will never work. I mean, to be fair, you 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.520 could have like his fastball, you know, sixty one percent. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.760 He's getting it there. He's a little bit less juice 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.560 on it right now. You can have that zone percentage 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.720 hover around like the forty range or high thirties. But 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.000 like what I'm getting at is he just didn't. 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:28.560 Throw it for strikes. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.400 He had three called strikes on it, six total whiffs, 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.800 had a twenty seven percent CSW percentage, and he was 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.800 trying to live off the fastball, which didn't work. Just 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.320 doesn't look quite right right now. He doesn't have the command, 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.200 he doesn't have the feel, and that could be just 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.000 all these miss games, so something to keep an eye. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.640 I would still probably put him in the by territory, 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.720 you know, if you can stomach a few more games here. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.560 But I also think we should be prepared that like, 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.200 maybe he's just not going to be as right this year, 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.160 but he was getting k's and stuff like that. But 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.280 you know, hitting up top on Bryce Harper, those are 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.320 those little warning signs we need to pay attention to. 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.720 Yeah, also pay attention to the other videos on our 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.800 YouTube channel. You know why because yesterday the trade video 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.680 we put together and Jack Flaherty was on it, and 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.080 guess what Jack flarerday, good night for him. Two hits, 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.520 one walk, six shutout innings. Also in that game, Logan 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.000 Web ten strikeouts, so he was on the wrong end 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.720 of that. But flarerity outstanding yesterday, no doubt about that. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.520 Also Cal Rawley with two homers yesterday. He's having a 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.239 great season. In that game too for the Mariners. Logan Evans, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:32.839 one of your guys, well shit you've talked about on 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.600 the show. Probably his best performance of the year. One run, 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.000 four strikeouts eight innings to win over the Nats. So 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.640 would you make out of Logan Evans yesterday? 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.680 Yeah, I mean I would say it's not even debatable. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.240 It was absolutely his best outing here, and he's proven 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:46.920 to be able to eat some of those innings up. 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.120 He doesn't get whiffs though. He had five total whiffs 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.280 in that game, So something to just keep an eye 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:53.959 on that. You know, he's a guy that's going to 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.320 be able to push innings and eat innings, but he's 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.920 just not a big strikeout guy. There's funny enough, I'm 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.360 looking here six different pitch types. 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:02.679 Five of the. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.280 Six induced a whiff, but it was all just one. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.360 He had one whiff on those pitches. So he hits 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.640 the zone. Every single pitch is fifty percent or higher 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.240 in the zone, so he pounds the zone. He's going 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.720 to try to go for some weaker contact, and he 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.400 is a you know, eight innings, there's actually a bunch 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.440 of hard hit on him, but doesn't walk. He's going 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.160 to eat up those innings. Kind of Brian wu esque. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.360 Maybe there's a little bit of that organizational thing that's pushing, 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.760 but I think, you know, he's got that like back 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.320 of the bench spot starting. This is a really really 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.440 encouraging match against you know, a Nationals team that can 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.400 get some hits, but he is not a strikeout option, 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.880 so he really has to go deeper into games to 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.720 keep providing that value. And he's got the best closer 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.040 in baseball behind him, Andre Munoz, thank you very much, 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.400 who has a million saves and doesn't give up runs. 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.480 And he's incredible. And I probably run that years ago. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.520 It just took a little while for it to really 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.640 get on the track. By the way, a shout out 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.640 to Ryan loves the Dogs. What it's tr position more 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.680 like Joey m vps apia. See that's a much better 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.360 nickname than that other one you tried to saddle me 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.360 with a couple of weeks ago, Like that other one. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:10.640 You know what I'm talking about? 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.160 Oh, you know remember it? I don't remember. As soon 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:14.520 as I remember it, I'll have a great time. But 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:15.280 I don't really has. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.000 To do with a lowercase letter in the alphabet. 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:20.400 Still doesn't have it. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.880 Wow, well, too much sun on that golf course today. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:26.800 Choey T Joey p. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.880 Eight strikeouts for Hunter Brown yesterday, so bounce back for 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.520 him also four for four, big day for. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:35.160 Jose L Twove. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.679 He would been, you know, kind of sluggish this year. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.920 Two olmers for him, three rugbyes, So nice to see 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.280 a good day from Altuve. Also from Christian Yelich to 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.240 another guy was just on one of those trade videos too, 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.160 were talking about big walk off grand slam, his first 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.600 walk off homer ever in his career, which is pretty cool. 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.439 Christian Walker home run. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.520 I'm just putting it in there because we don't see 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.199 it very often. And Jordan Walker, So this is the 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.599 Walker and Walker section if you call them, if you 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.840 have any sort of injury issue, you can certainly call 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.680 Walker and Walker and see what they could do for you. 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.920 Two for three, a triple RBI, two runs yesterday. So 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.960 obviously it's been a slug for Jordan Walker. But this 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:14.240 is a very good sign. And lately he's hitting three 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.680 sixty with a homer, two doubles and seven RBI's last 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.080 nine games, so maybe he is turning out of the tailspin. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:20.920 Welsh. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.880 Maybe it just took two months. You know, sometimes guys 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.840 just take two months into the season to have a 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.880 little bit of a run. All I could think about, 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.400 by the way, is I can see Jordan Walker and 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.640 Christian Walker just like backs to each other. There's a 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.400 car in the background, and it's just like, Walker and 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:36.719 Walker is the way to go. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.960 And I'm just injured in a slip off fall. Call 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.120 us at Walker and Walker. We will take care of you. 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.880 We have you covered on the bases, Walker and Walker. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.560 That's right, I love there's nothing hit. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.520 A home run with us, That's what it would go. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.400 Yeah, So Jordan Wiser kate you full cash. 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.880 Don't let anyone steal your base. We will bring them 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:07.559 home today. 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:09.960 Walker and los Us. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:16.880 Handle your cash considerations today. Hey, they are out settle 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.520 you are named later. 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.280 All right, We're gonna keep going with the commercial like all. 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:22.679 That part of me that just kind of wants to 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:23.640 do the whole show. 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:24.960 The entire show. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.560 We're gonna need ai art, We're gonna need different versions, 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:28.880 So just putting it out there. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:30.239 Yeah, I'm still. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.000 Super skeptical on Jordan Walker because I think I was 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.720 so I was so in on him this season. Hey, 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.839 all the things are gonna work. It's gonna be so good. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.280 I'm really encouraged that things are ticking back up a 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.760 little bit. He's hitting two twenty two though in May. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.040 That's where it's ticked up to from one to eighty seven. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.520 Things are kind of last nine games comes are up. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:49.800 That's it. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.079 Yeahs So he's been dropped everywhere. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:54.560 So also dropped. 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.600 But you know, sometimes a dancer gets another opportunity. Sometimes 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.559 sometimes you stay too long at one club. You know, 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:02.760 it's just not the same anymore. 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:03.320 You gotta move. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:09.000 So Genesis Cabrera elected free agency yesterday and apparently now is. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.880 Going to have an opportunity to sign with the Cubs. 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:12.040 It seems like so. 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.400 And this is how they paid him in his contract. 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:22.120 Yeah, yeah, awesome, sugarown man, why you Namola? 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.559 Yeah, we love Jennis. 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:25.600 That's a signing bonus. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:26.720 That is a signing bonus. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.319 Let's get to the rookie lookie Matt Shaw walk off 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.360 Ribby singles. So he's been solid since the call up. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.280 Also in that game, Kate Horton. I saw people in 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.480 the chat the Peanuts and Cracker Jacks talking about Kate Horton. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.880 No decision against the Rockies, boo, but six strikeouts. You 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.760 better have strikeouts against the Rockies. Just one walk, one run. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.880 A solid performance from Kate Horton. Also Marcelo Mayor two 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.040 for three, so he came up. First game was not good, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.400 bunch of strikeouts, you look terrible, probably just forcing it. 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.199 But since five for eleven with two doubles, and today, 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.280 well she he's playing third base. 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.000 How about that? How about them apples? He excited about. 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.720 The position eligibility there American play short, he could play second. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.280 Now he's playing third. I love it. He's like bugs Bunny. 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.320 Got to ask somebody to do it, because we know 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.120 there's one person they can't ask to do it. But 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.280 this is the reason why he was coming up. It 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.400 was that position flexibility that he could move around. And 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.280 you know, I still have questions because the big thing 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.080 over the last like two weeks has just been about, 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.800 you know, fantasy viability, and I kind of think he's 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.520 living up to like what it is. You're gonna hit 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.120 lower in the lineup, you're gonna make some contact, you're 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:29.960 gonna get some hits. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:30.320 But he's not. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.080 He's not a loud, counting stats type of guy. He 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.360 has no homers, no stolen bases. I'm not sure that's 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.960 gonna continue. But the encouraging stuff are he's not striking out, 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.400 he's walking a bit, and he is hitting three thirty 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.680 three so there is some like side deeper League fantasy 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.200 value in it. I'd rather have Meyer than I would 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.760 Jordan Lawler getting a lot of Jordan Lawler questions, people 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.760 like Hey, what should I hold? Not really like Tory 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.120 Leavello has completely screwed up that situation. So in the 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.720 Ring of these young guys, like you know, I don't 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.360 know if Myer's going to be more of like a 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.920 Points League type of player, but I think it's going 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.920 to be some categorical stuff. I'd rather have him than 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.040 Lawla right now. And the position flexibility might be pretty 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.520 nice if he gets all these games. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.080 Did you say in the Rang of these guys? 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.000 Yeah, like in the realm, Well, there's. 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.640 A realm and a rank did you make them? One 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.840 thing is that it's a word. Look it up? 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.320 Go look it up? Right in the show. Oh you can't, 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:26.040 All right, let's move on. 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:27.360 Oh I can, Oh I can. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.200 And Rang is going to be like the realm. Yeah, 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:36.680 the realm is one thing? Uh rang the definition uh? 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.359 And I could use it a sentence call by telephone 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.720 or to make a clear resident vibrating sound. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.880 So is that That's what I was trying to say 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.680 in the Vibrator vibration of vibrating. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.960 Okay, uh Nick Kurtz is vibrating all the way the IL. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.080 This is why we can have nice things. I hate everything. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.080 He's hitting home runs all over the place, He's smoking hot. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.680 What happens now he has a hip flexor strain? 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:04.520 So well? Multiple week Kurts r Meyer, what do you 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.480 in the just like in a vacuum, rest of season 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:06.760 on a. 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:11.080 Vacuum like Kurtz is on the IL right now, or Marcella. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.480 You know, I'm worried about the hip flexer thing. I 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.360 think it's gonna be multiple weeks. So I'm just gonna 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.560 take the guy that's playing. So I'll take Marcelo Mayor 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.320 and I and I don't think he's as good as 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.160 Kurts potentially upside wise, but I'm worried about two to 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.680 three weeks at least maybe a month. So now you're 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.080 going to the Waverwarre to pick up Carlo Santana or 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.280 some other Jabroni from the Waverwarre to play first base. 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:30.520 And this is just miserable. 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:31.240 I hate it. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.360 I hate it so much. The only thing that makes 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.920 me feel better is when people cheer things like Van 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.000 Rod cheering thirty Bits and Life or Death, giving out 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.640 a one month Tier one sub to Ryan Loves the 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.720 Dog for his lovely comment today, I love it. I 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.000 love the peanuts in that it's the only thing that 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.840 keeps me grounded in life. I gotta say, you know, 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.440 and I have this kind of rage. It's it's the 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.680 penis and the cracker jacks and also piece of pa 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:57.040 in Welsh lop. We are here to help you get 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.000 what you deserve. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.560 Don't I taking a bad call anymore? 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.919 With Walker and Walker, we got you covered in the 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.960 outfield and the enfield. 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.280 What's it like in Arizona too? 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.639 Because I imagine the one thing I did notice in 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.480 Arizona when I was visiting you a couple weeks ago 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.560 was the amount of billboards for injury lawyers. 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.240
