That's definitely most of the YouTube to 31 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: be clear. No, also good point. And and also Ryan 32 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: dressed up for the occasion today if you could see 33 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: it on our YouTube channel. He's wearing his Orioles Hawaiian shirt, 34 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: which is absolutely glorious. So we got to get some 35 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: love on that. We've got a lot of baseball to 36 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: get to, got a lot of things going on. We'll 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: talk a little Waiver Wire today. Also, we'll plug that 38 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: in here. Let's start with the headlines though, Seattle's ty 39 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: France three hits and a home run and a loss 40 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: to Theers. But nice night for ty France. Saw the 41 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: one bomb two. It was a no doubter. Luis Surius 42 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: has a quad that is starting the rehab assignment on 43 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: on Saturday, so that's good. Jesus Sanchez continues to be 44 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: hot for the Marlins, selling two hits and a homer 45 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: against the Cards. Noah and Aronado having a fantastic month. 46 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: He might be Player of the Month at this point. 47 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: Great day for him, three more hits. Pablo Lopez strikes 48 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: out nine in a win over his Cardinals, though. And 49 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: Paul Blackburn, who I told everybody yesterday go play this 50 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: guy in DFS. I hope you did one run, five innings, 51 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: another win. I think this guy should be added everywhere. 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: Paul Blackburn. I want to start with him because he 53 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: is rostered and I think like thirty percent of formats 54 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: right now, and although the minor league track record does 55 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: not scream that he has got like sustainability, the increased 56 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: strikeout rate is appealing to me. So Blackburn is one 57 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: of these guys. Because he's an A, he flies under 58 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: the radar. So Ryan, I don't know if you've got 59 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: him in any formats, in any leagues, but Blackburn's a 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: guy picked up last week off the good start, just 61 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: to see and now I think it's gonna cost people 62 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: twice or even three times the amount to pick him 63 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: up this week. 64 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: You know, I don't have him anywhere. 65 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 3: He is still available obviously in plenty of leagues that 66 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 3: you know, the opportunity is there if I do want 67 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 3: to decide to go after him. I wouldn't put too 68 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 3: much stock into yesterday because I mean, first of all, 69 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: I can't believe you're starting with me having to talk 70 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: about a negative thing with the Orioles, But it was 71 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: going up against one of the worst offenses in baseball, 72 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: and offense that has been bad, like whether they're at 73 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 3: the Camden Yards with the extended fence or not, they've 74 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: not been good this year at all. So I wouldn't 75 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 3: put too much value in that. But you're right, there's 76 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 3: been other signs throughout the. 77 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: Season so far. 78 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: He hasn't gone more than five innings yet in any game, 79 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: so it's not like he's one of these guys going deep. 80 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: But where are those guys anyways? So I like him. 81 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: I think he's. 82 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: Totally worth like a speculative pickup, and maybe even more 83 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 3: than speculative at this point based on what we've seen. 84 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: But I wouldn't put too much stock into like, oh, 85 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: his price is gonna go up just because he did 86 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: pretty well against like probably a bottom three offense. 87 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: Well you know what, he's doing well and he's healthy 88 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: right now, which it's a good combination of things to 89 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: have because it's pitching injuries all over the place as 90 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: we always see here in baseball, and I think maybe 91 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: what we can do is get a good run out 92 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: of him and then flip him if he can, in 93 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: a package for somebody better or somebody returning off the 94 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: eye out in a few weeks. Some injuries. Yesterday, Luis 95 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: Robert did have a couple of hits, but he left 96 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: with a groin injury and without hitting a home run. 97 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: So I am sour because he was my pick yesterday 98 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: and again another over night for me, I'm pissed off 99 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: about it. I'm not happy. I'm not leaving April with 100 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: one home run. That's just unacceptable. John Gray also headed 101 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: to the injured list with a mild MCL spraining to 102 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: his left knee. So more to come with that. So 103 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: two injuries, the robber one obviously more substantial. We'll keep 104 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: an eye on that. More information to come. I want 105 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: to play a little. Can we talk about this to 106 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: start with Jazz Chisholm, who's hitting lead off to the 107 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 1: Marlins on Thursday. Now, Chisholm off to a very hot start. 108 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: This was a very divisive player heading into the season, 109 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: twenty four years old. He's slashing two ninety six, three 110 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: forty four with a seven forty one, slugging two homers, 111 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,559 Speaker 1: two doubles, two triples, a partridge in a pear tree RBI, 112 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: and of course the one stolen base, which is why 113 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: you drafted him in the first place. So a very 114 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: hot start to Chisholm. So, I guess here's my question. 115 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: We all know this is unsustainable. Is this the perfect 116 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: time to flip him for something and an asset that 117 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: might be way more sustainable? Or do you think Chisholm's 118 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: gonna have some of these more high points in the 119 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: season than we realize. The lows are gonna come, but 120 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: this is a high point, and if you can have 121 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: a couple of them, that's gonna make for a really 122 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: good overall rotal player. Your thoughts on Chisholm's hot start. 123 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, I liked Chishm a lot coming into the season. 124 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 3: He was one of those guys who, yes, he's up 125 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: and down at times, but I really think of him 126 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 3: as somebody who when I'm playing fantasy, I'll just say 127 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: sort of like philosophically, I want the guys who are 128 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: gonna be up and down because I want to take 129 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: a chance that they're gonna be up for a lot 130 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 3: more than we sort of expected. And he's a guy 131 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 3: that I like, I said, I really loved coming into 132 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 3: the year. His expected batting average based on the batt 133 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: of ball like profile isn't as high as his current 134 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 3: batting average is, but he has still made a dramatic 135 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: jump in that batterball profile from last year and last 136 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: year he had made a jump from the first year. 137 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: And he's sitting the ball hard on exactly half of 138 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 3: his at bats. His hard hit rate is fifty percent, 139 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 3: so I can understand why he's expected slugging would be high. 140 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: His WOBBA is pretty high. He's pulling the ball a lot, 141 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 3: like I think of his of his ten or eleven 142 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: hits or whatever he has this season, like nine of 143 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: them are are down the line, And frankly, I don't 144 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: care if a player is doing that. You think of 145 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 3: like the old school baseball thoughts of like, oh, you're 146 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 3: a good hitter, you use all parts of the field. 147 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 3: You can drive ball at the middle. If you're hitting 148 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 3: the ball hard. I don't care where it goes. He's 149 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: sitting the ball hard. 150 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: I really like him. 151 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: And he's also just like electric and so much fun 152 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: to watch and to have on your roster, like I 153 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: enjoy watching. Did you see he had the thing with 154 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 3: the umpire where he was like like no, no, no, I 155 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: got this, like trying to tell him to get back 156 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: in the box next pitch home run. 157 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: Like the dude's just fun. 158 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the good energy. I like the entertaining guys. 159 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: Everybody knows that now Doctor Glenn sometimes is entertaining. If 160 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: an r Peanuts and cracker Jack gallery, and he said, 161 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: I gave Jazz Chishom a high five. It's spring training. 162 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: That's what this hot start is really all about. And 163 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: that's how it started, basically, so doctor Glenn once again 164 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: taking credit for things that can't possibly be traced back 165 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: to him. But that's good. I like when the Pienza 166 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: cracker Jacks think that they control the universe, because it 167 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: feels like they control the show most days. That's for sure. 168 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: I love you, Doc, It's great to see you back 169 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: in the chat today. Garrett Witlock likely to start for 170 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: the Red Sox on Saturday at Tampa. Now some weird 171 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: things going on. Rich Hill's on the bereavement list and 172 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: Tanner howckets unvaccinated, so it's like they had to reshuffle 173 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: everything around. But this is funny because Garrett Winlock is 174 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: this guy that well Sho and I have been on. 175 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: We love him as that potential closer he got to 176 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: save the other night. He started off really good. He's 177 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: got eleven strikeouts and two walks and nine to two 178 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: thirds innings. But it's gonna raise his profile if he 179 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: has a really good start and then beg some more questions. 180 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: This is another dude that I feel like, as an asset, 181 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: just add talent to rosters instead of holding onto guys 182 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: that are really just fringe players. Anyway, Witlock is another 183 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: dude that if he's still floating out there, I think 184 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: it got to add this week. What do you think? 185 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, definitely talented, and I agree with you fundamentally, 186 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: like ad talent, that's always a good thing. I wouldn't 187 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: put too much stock into this first start. I mean, 188 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: has he thrown more than like forty pitches in a 189 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: game this season? 190 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 191 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: And just with the way the landscape of pitching right 192 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 3: now across baseball. I certainly wouldn't expect me to go 193 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: deep in the game in his first start. Maybe they 194 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 3: work him up to that down the line, but I 195 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: think the better value is, like you said, as a 196 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: potential closer, somebody who can be like a multi inning reliever. 197 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: That so like, it's interesting. 198 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 3: I'll certainly be paying close attention to it, but I 199 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: don't know how much stock I would put in whatever 200 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: the stat line. 201 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: Is on this first start. 202 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: All right, moving on to the next topic here, Bobby Witt. 203 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: Let's talk about him dropped his seventh in the batting 204 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: order for the Royals. Look, I think this is an 205 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: overreaction by the Royals. Maybe they're trying to take more 206 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: pressure off of him, but I think it's the opposite effect. 207 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: I think what you want to do is you want 208 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: to keep the kid at the top of the order 209 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: in front of more lineup protection, not drop him down 210 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: in the order. So I think this is stupid by 211 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: the Royals and short sighted. The Royals are not going 212 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: to win a World Series. There I said it. Spoiler alert, sorry, everybody. 213 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: The Royals aren't winning the Pennant this year. And I 214 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: know it's April and everyone's trying to win games. But 215 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: you've got to get Bobby Wit Junior. Right. I know 216 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: it's been a terrible start. The slash is just abismo 217 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: f thirty one over his first forty played appearances. But 218 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: this is your opportunity because I'm sure there's somebody who 219 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: overpaid for Bobby Wit that's freaking out right now. I 220 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: would kick the tyres on a trade. He's too good 221 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: of a player. He was red hot in spring training. 222 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: This is also the ebb and flow of a baseball player. 223 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: They get red hot and then all of a sudden 224 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: they get a cold streak. It just so happens. It's 225 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: cold streak is to start the season. So I would 226 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: be buying everywhere. What do you think about Bobby Wood 227 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: Junior in this change that they've had in the lineup 228 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: where he's hitting. 229 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I really like your point about whoever took him 230 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 3: probably is overly concerned right now. 231 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: I'm not. 232 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: I mean it's been two weeks into the season. Every 233 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: player is going to go through a two week stretch 234 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: similar to this. Now, the bad of ball profile, like 235 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 3: I'm reference four, isn't good. It's not like he's been 236 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 3: getting unlucky and hitting the ball hard, and then it's 237 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: just being right at defenders. He hasn't been hitting the 238 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 3: ball well, period, so I get it, but it is 239 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 3: very early to be tinkering. I don't like when you 240 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: have a top prospect and you say, okay, like we 241 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: believe in you, you're the guy, you're here, end of story, 242 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: and then you change it so quickly, like I don't 243 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: know anything about Bobby witz like personality. I've never met him. 244 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 3: He probably can handle it. I'm sure he's fine, but 245 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 3: it's just something I don't like. It seems like unnecessary, 246 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 3: like pressure and stress to just move move young hitters. 247 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: Around like that. 248 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 3: And we see this a lot with young hitters too, 249 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: like Alex Bregman was what over twenty eight to start 250 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 3: his career. You know, Mike Tratt was bad his first 251 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 3: summer up in the big league, So like, starting slow 252 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily mean he's going to. 253 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: Be bad the rest of the season. 254 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 3: Even he's still they're giving him the green light to 255 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 3: run a lot if he needs stolen bases. He's playing 256 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 3: very well in the field, so he's going to continue 257 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 3: to get at bats and still be playing. It's not 258 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: like I'm worried about them sending him down or anything 259 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: like that. But yeah, to me, it's just a move. 260 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 3: I don't get I don't I don't think it makes 261 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 3: a lot of sense to move him around, at least 262 00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: at this point in the season. 263 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: Well, if you want to know a little bit more 264 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: about him, he's he's a Gemini born June fourteenth. He's 265 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: from Colleyville, Texas. Now as a Gemini, he has those 266 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: two personalities. So this is the bad hitter. I WoT 267 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: the good hitter to show up. See what I did. 268 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I don't know what 269 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: his sending sign is. And it says that he enjoys 270 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: photography projects and DIY stuff, and he also enjoys jazz music, 271 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: which you wouldn't think that. 272 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: For it to be clear, when you say he's a Gemini, 273 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: that means nothing. I don't know what a gemini. 274 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: I know. 275 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 2: I'm a Leo. I don't know what that means. 276 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: Well that we could do a whole astrological show later on. 277 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: It means that it means that the universe cares about you, 278 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: and that's what it means, and the stars hopefully will 279 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: align for Bobby Witzee, what I did there? Look at that? 280 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: Look how I just bring it all? 281 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: All? Right? 282 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: Fun facts tied for some fun facts. I saw this 283 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: tweeting it. It's fun. Through three hundred and fifty career 284 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: games Vladimir Guerrero Senior two hundred and eight runs, four 285 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: hundred and four hits, seventy one homers, two hundred and 286 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: twenty one our through three hundred and fifty career games 287 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: from Vladimir Guerrero Junior two hundred and fifteen runs, three 288 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty one hits, seventy six home runs, two 289 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one RBI. Now, no one was ever 290 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: gonna confuse these two guys in the field of Laddie 291 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: Senior was incredible arm talent, great right fielder. Vlad not 292 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: so much the defensive genius. But man, it's kind of 293 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: scary how good these guys are. And if this trajectory holds, Man, 294 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a Hall of fame kind of 295 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: career we're seeing for Vlad. I hated that narrative that 296 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: was out there earlier this year in draft season about 297 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: you can't take Vlad as a first round pick. I 298 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: sure people say this in Rodo to which I think 299 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: you're drunk. Go home. It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. 300 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: Do you know anything about baseball or you just such 301 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: a nerd that you just sit here and look at 302 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, wOBA and Xip all day until your you know, 303 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: eyes bleed, Because if you know anything about baseball, this 304 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: is a great player, a guy who can win a 305 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: triple crown. That matters in Rodo. I don't care if 306 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: it's in the steel bases. He's gonna hit for a 307 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: high average, dry he's gonna have a four category. This 308 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: is the dumbest narrative I saw out there on Baseball Twitter, 309 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: and Baseball Twitter has a lot of dumb narratives, so 310 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: I just wanted to point this out there. Vlad Gerrero Junior. 311 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: I have no shares. Wish I had any shares for 312 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: you so far this year that you've been able to enjoy. 313 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have only one. 314 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 3: But it was a keeper and it was a league 315 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 3: that I took like I'm a co owner with a 316 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 3: friend that he had had him earlier, so kind of, 317 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 3: but I can't really take credit for it. I would 318 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: have happily taken him in the first round in any 319 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 3: draft I was in if I had the opportunity, I 320 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: don't understand that logic at all, Like, if you're going 321 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 3: to give me a guy who's not just going to 322 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: be a four category contributor, but a four category stud 323 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: I mean all day, I made a bold prediction before 324 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 3: he made his major league debut that he would have 325 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: a better career than his dad, even taking into account 326 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 3: the fact that he will never come He will never 327 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 3: sniff the defensive value that Lad Senior broad So he 328 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 3: has to really out hit his dad for that to 329 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 3: be true. Right now, he's on the same pace as 330 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 3: his dad, which is still freaking incredible. It's not quite 331 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 3: out out pacing him yet, but I mean, this is 332 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 3: one of the five best hitters in baseball in my eyes, 333 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 3: and I think in a lot of eyes, and I 334 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 3: think he should. 335 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: Be a first round pick for the next twelve years, 336 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 2: like the. 337 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: Top five talent. I mean, yeah, I mean his top 338 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: five and first base was exactly a great position this year. 339 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: People are he's in a great. 340 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 3: Mind, Well, I mean there's no what only literally the 341 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: only negative you could possibly come up for with him 342 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: is that he doesn't steal bases, which fine, most of 343 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 3: the league doesn't steal bases anymore. 344 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: Give me the uh. I'll give you forty two home 345 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: runs this year for Flatti. You're gonna go over under. 346 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: I'll go over, although although the the fence moving back 347 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: at Camden Yards is probably gonna hurt him since he 348 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 3: loves hitting at Camden Yards. 349 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: But no, I'm going over. 350 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: And there's not a lot of guys I would say 351 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 3: that about where I would be as bullish as I am. 352 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: But he I mean again, he's a top five talent, 353 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 3: another guy who's super fun to watch, and he's still 354 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 3: young and like learning the pitch in this league, He's 355 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 3: only going to get better. I can't throw enough cliches 356 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: your way about Vladdie Well. 357 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: I love a good cliche. And yesterday was the show 358 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: where we praised the starting rotation and how good they've been, 359 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: how oddly good they've been for the Orioles. 360 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, I missed that. 361 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 3: By the way, I missed an Eddie Murray reference in 362 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: the trivia section. I missed talking about the Orioles rotation. 363 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 3: I mean it was by the way, Bruce Zimmerman is 364 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: a Marilyn native. You said, who is that guy? When 365 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: you're doing that conversation yesterday. He's been pretty good this year. 366 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I just I don't want to acknowledge 367 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: anyone who names himself Spencer, and it's got. 368 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: An that's harder to defend. 369 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, no respect there. Just kidding Spencer. I know 370 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: he's a big fan of the show. Let's talk about 371 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: MLB slugging percentages, because Mike Mayor is gonna yell at 372 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: me if I don't. He's like, I put this in 373 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: the show sheet. You look at the show sheet. I 374 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: was like, all right, Mayor, I see it. I'm trying 375 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: to get Ryan all set up. It's very high maintenance 376 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: this morning, Mayor. I guess that cold medicine is finally 377 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: kicked in for him. Slugging percentages in April over the 378 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: last ten years are three ninety one, three ninety five, 379 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: four oh one, three eighty nine, three ninety so kind 380 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: of hovering the same spot last few years four five, 381 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: four oh seven, four hundred and four to twenty one, 382 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: three ninety so far three sixty nine. Now, I don't 383 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: want to take too much out of this because there's 384 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: been a lot of games in cold weather environments like 385 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: Colorado this time of year. It's cold, Detroit cold. I 386 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: don't know why we insist on opening out away or 387 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: or in home stadiums that are cold. I don't know 388 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: why this happens, but there's been some really frigid temperatures 389 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: out here. I know there's been worse at times. But 390 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm not making too much out of this. I know 391 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: we talk about that dead and ball. I know a 392 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: lot of people want to talk about that, that the 393 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: ball has been dead, and to me, like one good 394 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: hot week here from a couple guys. And let's not 395 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: forget people were behind in spring training. It's gonna change 396 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: by the time we get to May. I guarantee you 397 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: that three sixty nine is probably closer to that three 398 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: ninety mark. You think that's true or do you think 399 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: that I'm not paying enough attention to what's going on, 400 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: which is also possible. 401 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 3: Well, first saw that's very possible. I would never take 402 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 3: that off the table, but I would say, I mean 403 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 3: to be fair on the cold weather. It's cold every April, 404 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: and this season actually started a week later, so theoretically 405 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 3: it would be just that marginally less cold. 406 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 2: You would think I haven't crutched the numbers on the 407 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: weather of the last ten years. 408 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: You know, you don't work for the Weather channel in 409 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: your spare time. Let's not pretend years no, of course, but. 410 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 3: Like, I mean, it's just one of those things where 411 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 3: like I mean, we've been talking about how hitting has 412 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 3: been getting tougher and tougher for a decade now, and 413 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 3: usually you see that represented in the batting average going 414 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 3: down as people are selling out for power. 415 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 2: So it is a little. 416 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 3: Interesting to see it being reflected in the slugging percentage. 417 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: But it's just I mean this, it's hard with any 418 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 3: stat regardless advanced bad ball profile standard stuff, two weeks 419 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 3: into the season. I mean, I mean, the thing about 420 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 3: baseball that's different from say football, is with football, you 421 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 3: can tell pretty quickly what's going on two weeks into 422 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 3: a new season. In baseball, you need there's just too 423 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: much going on, so you need those those advanced analytics. 424 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 3: That's why we have saber metrics in baseball, is to 425 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 3: be able to take into account all this information that 426 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: the human brain can possibly do on its own. But 427 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 3: early in the season that information hasn't stabilized yet, so 428 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 3: it's really hard to sort of balance the eye test 429 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 3: and well, anecdotally he looks pretty good or the league 430 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: was pretty powerless this year versus the numbers. 431 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 2: So I really. 432 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 3: Struggle to take too much away from pretty much anything 433 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: I see two weeks into the season. 434 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: I agree it's too soon. Let's talk about our stat 435 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: heroes yesterday. We'll start with the pitchers. Pablo Lopez we 436 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: mentioned at the top nine k's no earn, big win 437 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: for him. He's two to zero now with a point 438 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: five two ERA. Carls Carrasco, he wasn't kidding, he said 439 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: he feels great. He's been pitching pretty well. He's got 440 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: a one four seven RA seven k's yesterday and a 441 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: win over the Giants. Zach Pleisak was good in his 442 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: game and just want to earned run. Ten kse through 443 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: seventeen innings, but obviously plea Szach not a big strikeout guy. 444 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: Kevin Gosman with a nice outing against the Red Sox. 445 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: Is important outing for Gosman because you know there's some 446 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: questions there how would he transition to the American League. 447 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: So far, so good. Joe Ryan, my dude who I 448 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: took in every single draft I think when we were 449 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: doing all those mock draft shows, and I have him 450 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: on every single team. I love me some Joe Ryan, 451 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: ariel Con and I could not say enough good things 452 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: about Joe Ryan in the off season. Six innings, no earn, 453 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: two hits, one walk, five k's and win. I know 454 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: it's the Royals, I don't care. It's a good start. 455 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: And Jordan Montgomery good start for him, five k's, two 456 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: walks and a loss to the Tigers. There but Jordan 457 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: Montgomery continuing to pitch well after a good, good run 458 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: last year in twenty one. Any of these performances in 459 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: particular stick out to you, Ryan, Yeah, I mean a. 460 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: Lot of them were pretty good. 461 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 3: The thing that sticks out to me most is that, annoyingly, 462 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: I don't think I roster any of these guys except 463 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: for Joe Ryan, who actually do have Because I listened. 464 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: To you there you go. Yeah, but Ryan. 465 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 3: I will say to me, like, the one that stood 466 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 3: out though most of them, was Kevin Gossman. Seventy of 467 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 3: his eighty pitches that he threw yesterday were strikes, which 468 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 3: is like bonkers. And as a guy again who watched 469 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,479 Speaker 3: him a lot in Baltimore, Like that's even more crazy 470 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 3: from you. Imagine the guy I saw, you know, five 471 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 3: years ago, doing that now. He has twenty two strikeouts 472 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 3: this season in eighteen innings zero walks. He has the 473 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: most swinging strikes induced the season in all Baseball fifty seven. 474 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 3: Behind him are Rodin Corbyn Burns, Otani, delan Cees. They're 475 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 3: all behind him. He's number one at fifty seven. I 476 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 3: was looking this morning. Our rest of season rankings on 477 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 3: the site have him at pitcher eighteen going forward. 478 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 2: I actually think that's too low. 479 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 3: I'm not saying he should be like top ten or anything, 480 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 3: but I would have him in the back end of 481 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 3: the top fifteen. I again, he's on a great team, 482 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: like they're gonna win a lot of games. He looks 483 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: really good to me so far this season. I totally 484 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 3: bought in on him as a true fantasy ace for 485 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 3: the rest of the season. 486 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: Of course, Ryan picks the former oriol By the way, 487 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: Jake Arietta retired this week, did you pour out a 488 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: little from your old English well for your home? 489 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 3: When one Jake Arittor retires, he's then replaced by Gossman, 490 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: who's Ariata two point zero And in terms of making 491 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 3: Orioles fans want to drink for other reasons. 492 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fair it's fair. It's just what could have been. Yeah, 493 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: it could have been. All right, Let's go to the hitters. 494 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: Ty France three for four with a dinger. Francisco Lindors 495 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: just red hot. Four home runs. It took him fifty 496 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: games to get the four home runs last year. He's 497 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: got four already and it's only the twenty second of April, 498 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: actually twenty first, considering yesterday. Franmil Ray is a homer 499 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: for him. That's great, hist first dinger, he's on the board. 500 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: Let's go for animal. Robbie Grossman a good night and 501 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: he's cheap in DFS tonight, So get on that wagon. 502 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: Get on the hot streak. Three for three yesterday with 503 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: a walk. Nathan Lowe three for five, a good day 504 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: for him. He's up to three ninety six on the year. 505 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: Jesus Sanchez just can't be stopped. Three dingers for him, 506 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: three fifty six. And Sean Murphy good Irish lad home 507 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: run for him, three ribies last night. Murphy's my default 508 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: catcher everywhere, because goodness knows, I never liked to draft catcher. 509 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: So any of these hitters you want to highlight today, Ryan, Yeah, 510 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: three names and maybe some underrated ones. 511 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 3: Briefly on France. I'll just mention it because I keep 512 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 3: mentioning the bat ball profile. His bat of ball data 513 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 3: is like top eight percent in baseball. He has been 514 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 3: on fire in the last week. I love him hitting 515 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 3: second in America's lineup that is performing better than I 516 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: expected it to coming into the season, even with Julio 517 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 3: Rodriguez not playing so well. But I'm to actually ask 518 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 3: you about Lindor, who I drafted in a lot of places. 519 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: I love the value this year. I love getting a 520 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 3: star who's on a new team in year two on 521 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 3: that team. It's one of my favorite, you know, types 522 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 3: of players to go after. I just made a trade 523 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 3: actually this week in one of my leagues where I 524 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 3: have the best hitting in the league. 525 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: But the worst pitching. 526 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 3: I made a trade with the best pitching in the 527 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 3: league who has the worst hitting. I gave up Francisco Lindor, 528 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 3: maybe selling high a bit. I got Justin Verlander in return. 529 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 3: I'm curious what you think. 530 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: About it, two of my favorites. You know how I 531 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: know you know I'm a Verlander guy. I think that's 532 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: fair for everybody. I like the fair trade. Look, Lindor 533 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: is at his Zenith right now, there's no doubt about that. 534 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: But I do think you're gonna see a guy who's 535 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: more the thirty home run, you know, fifteen to twenty 536 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: stolen base like you're gonna see Lindor from his Cleveland 537 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: days this year. It's clear he's back on track. I 538 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: think mentally is in a better place. I think Buck 539 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: Showalter goes a long way with all that. And this 540 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: is why people who say managers don't matter, you're so wrong. 541 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: They do. These are people, they're not video game characters, 542 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: they're just not And being able to get into a 543 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: guy's psyche a little bit, get him relax, and get 544 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: him in the right frame of mind, that goes a 545 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: long way. And I was with you. Lindor was a 546 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: player to me that was right for the taking. He 547 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: was a fringe first round talent going in the fourth 548 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: round in some drafts. So that's just nuts to me. Like, 549 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: Lindor was there, and this is a Roto league. You 550 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: made this trade, Yes, in a Roto league, you're good. Look, 551 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: he's a very valuable player because he's a five category guy. 552 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: Potentially maybe not so much in the batting average, but 553 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: he's had some good batting average years. But Verlander is 554 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: again four category pitcher. So I think you made a 555 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: really good trade there. I think you got an ace 556 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: for a top tier guy. And goodness knows so far 557 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: justin Verlanders think And he goes on the mounta tonight too, 558 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: very excited about that one. Some pitching zeros. Let's get 559 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: to the zeros. Deskalfani nine earned runs now in thirteen innings, gross, 560 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: terribles VRA's at six, Tyler Wells also gross. One strikeout. 561 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: My goodness, gracious, what happened to the Orioles. I don't 562 00:23:59,200 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: know what's going on. 563 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 2: We don't need to talk any more about the Oriols. 564 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll move on. We already piled on Bobby with 565 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez, seeing if you get set a Rob Deer 566 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: like number of strikeouts over five with another four? Oh, 567 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: my goodness. Look, when you're striking out fifty percent of 568 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: the time, something's wrong. I don't think. I don't think 569 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: he's going to somehow get past a demotion. And I 570 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: would tell everybody wait, wait for the demotion, because that 571 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: people want to buy now. Don't buy now in dynasty leagues, sure, 572 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: but in a redraft don't buy now, wait for the demotion. 573 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: He's gonna get dropped. I'm telling you right now, people 574 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: will just straight up drop him. Sa Carlos Stanton Oh 575 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: for four to two k's of his own three k's 576 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: for tyler O Neil Whit Maryfield continues to struggle a 577 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: little now. I'm stay to get a little concerned with whit Maryfield. 578 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: I thought he would have turned it around by now. 579 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: One of the best just pure hitters in baseball. Just 580 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: an awful start buck thirty six, but he has to 581 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: have three steals. This is another Bilow candidate for me 582 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: and Paul gold Schmidt. No Homer's eleven games, and he 583 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: started off slow last year too, So Marryfield and Goal 584 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: which mean I'm not worried about Are you worried about 585 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: either of those guys? 586 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say long term worried about. 587 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 3: I'm with you on Wit where I sort of expected 588 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 3: him to be showing more signs. 589 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 2: At this point and you know, in the young season. 590 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 2: But again it. 591 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 3: Still is only two weeks in, so I certainly wouldn't say, 592 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 3: like long term worried. I do want to mention on 593 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 3: Gian Carlo. His strikeout rate is the highest of his career. 594 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 3: His walk rate is the lowest of his career, and 595 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 3: the walk rate usually takes a little longer to stabilize, 596 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,239 Speaker 3: so he needs probably about another two weeks to get there, 597 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 3: maybe even more. But the strikeout rate usually stabilizes pretty quickly, 598 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,239 Speaker 3: and he's a few percentage points higher than any other 599 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 3: season in his career, so that that would be a 600 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 3: little more concerning to me on him, just because I mean, 601 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 3: strikeouts and walks are sort of the quintessential like things 602 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: you look for. But and and really the whole Yankees 603 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 3: lineups struggled. Obviously, I've been very your curial, But yeah, 604 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 3: on those, on those last uncul Schmid and Meryfield, I 605 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 3: wouldn't be overly worried about them. I'd be paying close attention, 606 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 3: but not not selling or anything. 607 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: Two days in a row. Good votcab from co host here, mercurial, 608 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: well done.

Already we had one hundred 614 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: and twenty eight people make different home run calls at 615 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: least one right last season. We're up to one hundred 616 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: and forty eight through two weeks of twenty twenty two. 617 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: That is in fuego, as they say, so, credit to 618 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: all of you out there who are making these home 619 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: run calls.

If Trevor Rodgers bounces back and figures things out, 665 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: he's just seven to one on FanDuel. That allows you 666 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: to get every big bat you want. Michael Kopek tonight 667 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: eight point four k on DK A, nine point five 668 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: on FanDuel. Justin Verlander is my chalk play of the day, 669 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: ten point five on both sides. Go get him Justin 670 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: Verlander and make Ryan warmly happy because you just got 671 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: acquired very happy. All right, Any pitchers that you're on 672 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: tonight in the DFS world from of the names here on. 673 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 3: The sheet, Yeah, I liked I do like Kyle Wright. 674 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 3: I wish he was a little cheaper than nine thousand. 675 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 3: I like Trevor Rodgers a lot. He was the one 676 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 3: that I highlighted just because I love I love that price, 677 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 3: and I think that could be pretty He could have 678 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: a pretty impressive outing. I like Scooble too. Peralta I 679 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 3: might be a little expensive, but I'm with you that 680 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 3: I think he could certainly have a great outing. 681 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 2: And I do want to mention because you didn't give me. 682 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 3: The chance on the ben pros prop bet cheat sheet, 683 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 3: I did have a couple of picks there. 684 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: Let's go. 685 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 3: I like Freddie Freeman over one and a half total bases, 686 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 3: one of the best sitters in baseball. If you're gonna 687 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 3: give me a plus number, that's plus one fifteen. I 688 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: like to get two bases tonight, at least. Nick Cassianos, 689 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 3: this one's a little it's not total bases, it's to 690 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 3: score at least one run plus one forty. And then 691 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 3: Hunter Green. He's going up against the Cardinals, who are 692 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 3: bottom five and strikeout percentage this year. I just love 693 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 3: Green so much. He's just so much fun to watch, 694 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 3: he said. A major league record for pitches throwing one 695 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour in just his second start ever. 696 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 3: I mean the dude again, like gatism, just electric, like 697 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 3: so much fun over five and a half strikeouts. 698 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 2: I like that one as well. 699 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,239 Speaker 1: I love Hunter Green, That's my dude. Had many an 700 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: argument about Green over Lodolo me of course, being on 701 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: the Green side in the last year or so, so 702 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: far looks good. I think Lodole's gonna be a nice 703 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: pitcher too. Lefties take a little bit longer typically speaking, 704 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: but those are some good ones too, especially like the 705 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: Hunter Green one. Stacks of the night, the Mets, the Dodgers, 706 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: the Houston Astros, and the San Francisco Giants. I look 707 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: for that offense to bounce back. That Giants offense is plucky. 708 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: Not a lot of big names or roster Persangezo's gonna 709 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: be low. But you know now that they've they've moved 710 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: on from the Mets were really annoying. In terms of 711 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: starting pitching been really good across the board. Me Chris Bassett, 712 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: his bad start was he gave up a couple runs 713 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: in the first inning that was like, oh my god, 714 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: the earth has shattered. Here's some lineup builders for you 715 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: to get your pens and papers or I don't know 716 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: whatever things people write with or type into nowadays. DraftKings 717 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: a kil Bado three one, Josh Low two point eight, 718 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: Marcelo Zuna just three k tonight, Cody Bellinger three point one. 719 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: These were all on DK Robinson Carona three to six, 720 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: Cooper Hummel, who also likes to collect humbles, those little 721 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: tiny figurines. By the way, people don't know that. I'm 722 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: just making up hobbies for people today on the show. 723 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. Christian Pasche, who continues to swing 724 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: a good bat two point four. It's not a great hitter, 725 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: he's just hot right now and he's cheap. So let's 726 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: go fan duel Nelson Cruz cheap again. I told you yesterday, Roster, 727 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: if you did, you got a home run back to 728 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: the well today at two point nine. He's actually less 729 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: expensive day over day. I don't know why. Christian Pasche 730 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: two point four over on FanDuel Cano two point six, 731 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: Cooper Humble two seven with Meryfield cheap. I'm gonna buy 732 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: in two point seven. Nico Gudrum if he's starting a 733 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: two k free square Alert for Nico Goudrum if he's 734 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: in the lineup for the Astros and then a kil 735 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: Badoo two point two. So that brings us to our 736 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: home run call of tonight. So Ryan Warmly, I'm gonna 737 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: give you the boards is your this is your debut 738 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty two on the Eating Off Show. Where 739 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: are you going for your home run call tonight and 740 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: or this weekend? 741 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 2: So unsurprisingly, I'm going to pick an Oriole. 742 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 3: Last year when I made my debut ever on this show, 743 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 3: I picked an Oriole Santan Dre going up against Shohyo 744 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: Tani of the Angels, and he paid off for me. 745 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 3: So I'm going to go again with an Oriole going 746 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 3: up against the Angels Trey Mancini. His expected batting average 747 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 3: this year is like one hundred points higher than what 748 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 3: it's actually been so far. He's been getting hosed, hitting 749 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 3: the ball hard, and it's just been robbed and robbed 750 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 3: and robbed all season long. 751 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: He's due for his first homer. They're not in Baltimore 752 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: with that crazy fence. 753 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 3: Now, not that Los Angeles is an easy place to hit, 754 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 3: but I'm just saying, this is the night that the 755 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 3: Oriols offense finally breaks out and I'm going to Trey Mancini. 756 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: I had to do it for the first one this year. 757 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 2: At least it was going to be. 758 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: An Oriole And it looks like Mike Maher is holding 759 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: your hand in solidarity with you. He's going Ryan Mountcastle, shocker, 760 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: so Mountcastle actually, So. 761 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 3: I think that's a good thing, even an Orioles aside. 762 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: Now, if you want to make a home run call, 763 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: go to fan slast chat, join our discord, and you 764 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: will see the home run channel when you be a 765 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: come up premium subscriber here.
