That's my 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.800 Tanuki is my favorite of the Mario incarnations, but I'm 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.640 not exactly sure what he is. Maybe Chack can help 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.160 me over on twitch, twitch dot tv slash Fantasy pros 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.600 that's where we are live. We could also yeah, there 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.000 you go, Joe Rico is Warrio? There you go? Or 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:19.040 maybe even better yet, we have worm be Warrio and Wallawigi. 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.760 If everyone is a Walla Oligi. It was definitely Mike 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:22.639 Mayor one hundred percent. 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.160 That's a really that's a good that's a good one. 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.120 Have them be the villain. I mean we are kind 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.720 of villainy, so we might be good as that. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:33.480 But yes, Tanuki is my favorite Mario Kart character, so yes, 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.840 see it is Tanuki. See people are giving I love it. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.480 I love when the chat gives me confirmation of my stupidity. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.959 It's why I do this for a living, and I'm 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:46.280 very happy to be here. Also baseball, right, I mean yeah, I. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.880 Was gonna say this though, I do so I really 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.040 just really quick because someone pointed this in People are 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.919 being in suggestions. Maybe Mayor is Bauer. Maybe a Rico 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.239 could be Princess Peach Bowser Bowser, Mike Bowser, yeah. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:02:59.760 Yeah, Bowser. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:05.679 But I do weird impressions. I do an amazing Louis Yoshi. 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.080 So I'm just gonna play that my Yoshi. 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.600 But you crap eggs like, in't understand. I don't. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:15.679 No, I can do I can do Yoshi and it's amazing. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:16.880 I won't even do it today. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.080 I'm gonna save it for Monday, but I do it 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.360 might be my best impression of Yoshi. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.960 Yoshi makes a sound. I kind of want to do it, 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.160 but I want to save it for Monday. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.960 But just just be prepared. Yo, No, Yoshi makes a sound. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.519 I do that. Amazing. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.160 It is the weird impressions that are right, single off 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.520 sounds of like secondary characters from. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.560 Meat Wad, yea meatwad from It's all that I do. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.440 These these are not like legitimate impressions. I don't think anyway. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:47.800 Wait till you see it, Wait till you see it 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:48.560 all right. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.400 That's what I've been told. Wait till you see it 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.680 all right. Let's get to baseball. Yankee Stadium is a joke. 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.320 Get up, Get down. Yankee Stadium is a joke. In 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.240 here down. Perdomo, who's never hit a home run in 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.120 is life from the right side, hit a grand Slam yesterday, Judge, 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.960 of course, in another home run. Grisham hit a classic 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.720 Yankee Stadium home run, another one for Jazz. He had 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.800 hit one foul, and all I kept thinking was, I'm 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.800 watching this right last night. I'm thinking I'm looking at 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.240 his cleats, I'm staring at his stupid one piece cleats 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.760 from yesterday. If you missed that on yesterday's show, go 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.640 back and watch yesterday's show on YouTube on video on demand. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.800 But it is really it is a joke. So you 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.080 have the torpedo bats and delighted tiny ballpark. I can't 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.240 I'm so happy that they're on the roan in Pittsburgh today, 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.520 Like I'm just like, let's go get them out of 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.640 this ballpark. But it is kind of ludicrous where all 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.040 of these other teams, you know, are you know, playing 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.559 in for the most part, they're pretty you know, fair 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.039 Ballparksyanky Stadium has become just a joke, and now you 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:44.559 have these bats and it's become even worse. 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.120 I mean maybe the bats again, the bat is just 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.720 like a little bit moved of a barrel. There's got 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.440 to be a way to kind of adjust with some 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:57.520 of these pitchers. It doesn't help when Merril Kelly is atrocious, 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.240 is awful? He gave up and you know torpedo pat 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.440 a bat or just like really awful Merril Kelly. He 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.760 gave up eleven hard hits in that game that's registered 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.039 ninety five or harder of balls hit nine earned runs. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:13.480 He sucked. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:19.440 But you combo like easier get two barrels and that 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.039 ridiculous ballpark, which I mean, I agree like Austin Wells 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.600 Tomer was stupid, Anthony Volpi versus the the other night 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.039 that was so yeah, that would be stupid. But I 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.880 just there's nothing that's going to be done about it. 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:30.679 It is a craze. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.640 Every video is out there sites, whether it's you know, 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.000 the gambling sites are putting in you could I think 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.440 DK's got it where you can bet torpedo bats. 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:41.480 They're putting in. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.120 Some Yahoo has it now too, were next out of 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.960 the players who are using it? Which I think is 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.240 I mean, I want to know these are this information 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:52.240 that helps us as fantasy managers, it helps us as wagerers. 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.560 I think it's important to know what equipment everyone's working with. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:54.720 Now. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.320 Some of the pictures have said, well, if they're gonna 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.440 let them do whatever they like, why can't we use 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.159 the pine to or why can't we get better grips 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:02.640 on the ball? Why can't and I can't? I don't 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:03.800 have an argument for that, do you? 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.000 But but they're not cheating. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.080 But like the only difference here is it's like all 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.520 they did was take the confines of what you're supposed 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.000 to do with the bat and where and how much 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.200 wood and blah blah blah, and they just moved it 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.360 down a little bit. They they kind of maintained the shape. 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.000 They're really not like cheating, you know, they're not saying like, 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:20.640 all right, you can put a cork in your bat 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.760 or whatever, like putting in like weird substances or mixtures 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.240 of ros and everything like that. Then you're but again, 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.479 I do agree with that, and that's how they have 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.800 to just but my only thing would be this. You 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.720 get all these designations, you're like, I want to hear 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.400 you know who has a torpedo bass? 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.320 What's it gonna what's it gonna be for you? 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.919 When eighty five percent of the league is using it 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.920 and you look at a lineup and there are you know, 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.240 five or six in every single lineup. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.640 Using a torpedo bat? What does that do for you? 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.599 At this point? Just takeovers? 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.320 Don't start pitchers anymore, Like I just I don't know 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:50.800 what well. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.840 You can't overs. I mean, look yesterday I took over right, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.400 just for instance, right, it took overs yesterday in this game, 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.920 this Yankee Diamondbacks game, and it hit the nine and 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.720 a half got crushed? Did that? The Phillies Colorado game 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.760 that I thought would absolutely be an over as well 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.440 was not. It was an under Senstela gave up ten 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.000 hits and no earned runs. Somehow that happened, I don't 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.400 know how in five innings. But you know, baseball still 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.880 quirky and weird. It's a small sample. It's been a 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.120 week of baseball. We're officially like a week in now, 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.240 so I think we need to let it play out 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.600 a little bit more. But it is definitely something we're 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.440 gonna be watching. It's gonna be a major storyline, at 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.080 least in the first month of the season. So if 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.600 you're sick of hearing about it, too bad, we're gonna 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.600 talk about it. Who to that I need RBI without 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.800 sacrificing ops? Do I bench Cossas who hit home run yesterday, 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.800 by the way, and Louis Robert for Andros Amenez and 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.640 Kevin Aro. So you want to play the bench game 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.000 right now til Cassas and Robert show you a little 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.360 bit more. Robert has struggled out of the gate and 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.720 much to the chagrin of myself. 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.160 Yeah, I'm down. I'm down with this. I mean, I 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.360 like that you're not asking about cutting benching. 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.720 Should Benching's fine? Yeah, benches were made for We're made 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.840 for putting guys on it. A sneaky good start yesterday 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.560 from Nick Lodolo, another guy that we've been talking about 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.320 in draft season of you know, the lefty who's been 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.440 sitting in the cooker for a little while. Had some 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.400 injuries last couple of years. But if he gets everything right, 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.960 could be a very good starting pitcher in Fantasy. Four 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.040 hit six and two thirds innings, one unearned run. As 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.080 a good effort there, he struck out four, didn't walk anybody, 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.680 So keep an eye on that. The Reds, however, offensively 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:25.440 just struggling three straight nights of being shut out one nothing. 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.680 If they do it again today, it would be the 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.800 I think the all time record tied for fourth with 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.720 the nineteen sixty Phillies. How about that. 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.439 Wow, It makes me actually just want to just completely 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.520 bet Reds to go ballistic. They're going up against Tyler 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.120 Alexander Nestor completely bounced back and I don't think it 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.800 was so much like the Reds, you know, really sucked 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.040 and Nestor got away with it like Nestor was good, 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.000 but also just back on the Nick ldolas side, really interesting. 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.960 His four seam fastball was his third most used pitch 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.880 in this game. He went primary curveball and then secondary 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.600 change up, and then he went fastball and sinker. Just 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.040 really fascinating usage of that type of stuff. He did 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:06.640 not get a bunch of swing and miss, but he 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.920 was super efficient. Csw wasn't great, but he was sitting 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.720 in the zone, weak contact stuff like he was always 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.120 a higher strikeout guy, which you know, he's got this big, 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.199 sweeping loopy, you know, curveball and just got just crazy drop. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.400 I wonder what this is going to ultimately look like 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.880 as far as what strikeouts go. But we saw Hunter 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.120 Green sacrifice strikeouts, adding the splitter a little bit, you know, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.880 as K percentage went down, and being more efficient. Nick Ludolo, 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.640 right now, you use the word sneaky, I agree with that, 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:40.240 very very sneaky in going heavy off speed stuff first, 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.720 and then as long as he's healthy and can command 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.880 that fastball a little bit, he might be he might 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.760 be dude level. And Nesta Cortes bouncing back like it 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.199 was a big obviously not going against a million torpedo 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.640 bats though Ellie did have one. He had a thirty 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.320 one percent with freight, thirty five percent CSW percentage and 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.960 fastball was a little bit more out of the zone 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.839 than the last one, So he looks like he's a 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:02.760 nice little bounce back. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.960 After that, we're gonna talk more about Sorry, we're gonna 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.000 talk more about the Brewers rotation in just a second 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.480 because I want to. I want to have a deeper 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:14.400 dive conversation. Hunter Brown was dominant on Thursday against the Twins. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.640 Eight strikeouts over six sittings, so a great start from him. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.120 He was touching ninety nine on the gun and signs 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:20.920 of life for Tristan Cosas, which is good to run 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.760 homer for him. Campbell also went yard so at Bregman, 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.880 so that is positive for those Red Sox. Back to 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.160 the Brewers for a moment. I want to talk to 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.839 you about the Brewers and this rotation because right now, 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.599 obviously you know the weekend in the Bronx did know 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.559 when any favors. We know that that was not the 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.640 best situation there for them, and it was good to 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.679 see Cortez bounce back. But still right now, if you're 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.360 looking at team era. The Milwaukee Brewers as a team 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.760 six point sixty eight. They are last in Major League Baseball. 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:51.920 They have injuries. They're still waiting for Woodrof if they're 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.200 waiting for Myers. Sophali just went on the IL. I 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.440 want to throw somebody out at you, Logan Henderson. I 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:01.080 know those other prospects in this to him, but Logan 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.360 Henderson seems like a guy that maybe we should be 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.240 paying attention to. Had a good start this week already. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.040 Could there be a spot for him in this rotation 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.400 in April and maybe making some spot starts if you're 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:13.720 looking for some help in deeper leagues. 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:18.319 So yes, there was actually a conversation that he might 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.559 break Camp out of the rotation. Now they're going to 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.160 get Tobias Meyers back shortly, so that's going to be one. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:30.000 Piece of that. He's how many leagues, well, a couple's pieces. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.600 He's going to make one piece. You missed the joke. 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:33.360 I can't believe one. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.360 Yesterday, after all that torture you put me through, you 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.679 missed the one piece? Okay, can we get the picture back? 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:38.960 Can we? 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.640 I could just barely talk today. I can't talk. You're 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.160 talking over me, so you did. 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.280 This to me. I made a joke about it, and 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.360 then like it never happened, Like it never happened. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:49.760 I didn't know. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.040 I did a stream on my I'll get this out 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.719 of here. I can't il twitch. I had you with 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.960 me the whole time I had that picture up. I 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.400 just had to have you with me the whole time. 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.880 It was so phenomenal. But yes, one piece, two piece, 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.280 red piece, blue piece. Logan Henderson is definitely an option 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.840 we'll have to see with Tobias Myers when he comes back. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.320 Woodruff is, you know, kind of getting ramped up. But 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.000 I've talked with Logan Henderson a couple of times. I 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:19.360 saw him rehabbing last year. Phenomenal command. He is a 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.920 PenPoint around the zone type of pitchure. Fastball is great, 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.040 changeup is really great, working on the slider. He just 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.400 really gets those low points of the zone and moves 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.800 the fastball around. Sneaky strikeout guy. I really really love 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.480 Logan Henderson. One of those like six foot pitchers that'll 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.920 be out there. But he's a super smart guy. Pays 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.800 attention to the analytics and stuff like that, and I'm 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.480 I'm definitely like here for a good spot start. The 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.240 problem is is like that offense has got to get 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.000 going as well. And I don't know what the long 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.920 term sustainability is. But various of you to bring up 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.200 Logan Henderson because he is one of those guys Bubba 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.199 Chandler had his first start yesterday. Just want to throw 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.679 this out as well as a random rookie thing. And 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.680 I think we got a very clear timeline or it 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.199 cleared up the muddy waters of what his timeline is 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:07.280 because he wasn't great. He had no command whatsoever under 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.040 thirty eight percent zone percentage on. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.800 Both of his pitches. Fifty two was the limit. So 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:14.840 he's probably got three to four starts. 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.680 He's got to get in the minors before he's even 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.960 a thought so thought. My point of this is is 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.680 Logan Henderson might be one of those first prospect pitchers 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.439 after Tom's Harrington that we could see. 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.200 Yeah, they got to stop the bleeding in that rotation 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.720 a little bit Black raptor Hey Pro's question is Brida 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.080 Woodruf were the pickup and Stash and Il absolutely one 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.600 thousand percent yes do that. I mean, I've shocked he's 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.720 still floating out there even in a ten team league 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.480 he should be on an il stash absolutely, if you've 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.920 got the room for it, why not. Let's check in 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.720 with what's going on here with our subs real quick too, 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.640 because we had a bunch of new ones overnight.

But shout out to 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.240 all of you guys that are supporting us here on 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.320 Twitch with the follows, the subs, the gifted subs, and 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:36.880 all the other things. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:40.480 You know, so good. Speaking of gifts, you know, next week, 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.120 well that next week, the week after I'm going to 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.280 have the gift of time, and I'm going to be 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.680 traveling to Arizona to visit cousin DONI also to visit 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.080 my friend the Welsh. We'll hopefully be doing one of 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.520 these shows live and in person, but we're also hopefully 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.280 going to go try to take some VP together. So Welsh, 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.960 I wanted to show you this because I want to 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.280 show you what you're getting in for. This was a 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.520 couple of years ago Staton Island Yankees. Look at the 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:10.160 form of Joey p It just that Justin Mason actually 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.920 took these photos of what this is me hitting against 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.200 Paul Sporpor behind the l screen us having a little 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.800 fun there. It's that n Island Yankee Ballpark. One of 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.320 the few times you'll ever catch me in that hell 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.520 hole that is statn Island. That's right, I said it. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.360 It's the only burrow with a cover charge the worst. Anyway, Uh, 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.320 what do you think of the form here? Well, I 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.720 think that's pretty solid. Look, you know, making some good contact. 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:31.560 Look at that set up in that top line. 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.440 The set the setup is the really really impressive one. 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.400 I mean the next like your you plant your leg. 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:38.800 It looks like you might be planting your leg a 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.080 little bit early on that, but you're making good contact. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.200 But man, that that one on the left is very 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.520 very nice. Got a nice good front leg, you know, 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.200 just setting up to explode. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.480 The hands are in a pretty good spot. I'm pretty 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:52.160 impressed with this. 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.600 There will be pulled muscles in a trip to the hospital. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.920 I'm sure you know, without a doubt. But I just 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.240 wanted to show you a little little teaser of of 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.160 what's in store. This is a couple of years ago, too, 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.800 so much stronger now. Been been a lot of training 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:05.640 for this now for the last couple of months. Go 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:07.520 out there, get a bucket of balls. Hit some balls 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.600 there and I don't care. We could use torpedo bats, 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.440 we can use wooden bats, we can use metal bats. 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.080 Whatever you got, let's go. We have to go to 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.160 the store, but we'll buy some bats whatever we gotta do. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.120 Let's talk about three up and three down Aaron Judge. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.920 He's good at baseball. Three for five with a homer, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.560 a double, four RBI. Yankees win nine to seven, beat 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.880 Welsh's Diamondbacks. You mentioned Cortes, nice bounce back six innings 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.720 for him, won nothing victory the Reds. What's going on 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.800 the Reds offense too? I know you're talking about buying 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.720 into them, and I'm with you. I saw McClain a 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.760 great moment yesterday in that game where he hit a 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:43.520 little blooper and he no hesitation out of the box, 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:45.440 was trying to stretch it to two when he did, 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.320 And I love that kind of player, and that's why 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.920 I like McClain. McLain's got a lot of that aggressiveness 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.640 in him. I think that's why Frank ConA likes him 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.240 so much. He's had so many nice things to say 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.160 about him. If you could buy low on some of 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.840 these Reds batters, Ellie McLain, any of these guys right now, 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:02.120 this offense collectively, I would would you be buying low 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:02.560 on the Reds? 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.440 Yeah, I mean, well, you're not gonna get Lli low, 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:04.960 but if you. 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.320 Did, I mean, well you might get Lli. Period, Like 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.880 this is the time to maybe buy in where people 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:10.760 may be a little frustrated in the first two weeks. 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.320 Maybe yeah, maybe it's like you treat, you know, move 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.320 in a first round or something like that. That's a no, 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:16.760 absolutely no brainer for me. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.840 Yeah. I mean McClain has definitely looked better. You know. 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.560 Remember, like I started the season off being kind of 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.680 negative on both Ces and McLain after seeing in the AFL, 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.240 and it wasn't about their production necessarily in the AFL, 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.679 it was just about them as a whole. Like mcclan 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.320 and McClain still has my issue. My biggest issue with 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.000 him from the AFL is the strikeouts. He is still 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.440 swinging through and he's still got a strikeout issue, but 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.240 both are making a lot more consistent contact. McClain is 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.240 just because of his overall skill set and he's hitting 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:44.600 like two. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.399 He's a great buy right now. I would buy in 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:46.919 a McClain. 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:48.920 I'm not sure where I'm at with everybody else though, 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:54.120 Like Candelario is, he's kind of a wavery guy, free 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.320 kid maybe. 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:56.520 But there's not a lot of other guys. 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.760
