On the podcast side, we're gonna do all 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.399 the stuff and things, like I said. Plus where in 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.600 the world are Welsh and Corbyn Carroll? Yes we have 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.080 it all. We've got it all to hear, Bubba, Bubba, 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:31.160 your head is looking very beautifully bald today, your very 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.160 piece of pa ESQ, my friend, do my best. 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.920 You know, I can't be a stealth and stunningly you know, 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.120 the eyes don't pop like Joey Peas do. But I'll 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:41.600 do everything I can to bring a little bit of 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:42.679 bald presence to the show. 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.240 I think it's good. I think we need to like 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.240 I probably need to get some wafting hair back here 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.600 and another tar. 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.920 It's been people have asked many times we need Tiara 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:53.360 for the Welsh. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.080 You know, I just haven't thought, what's the thing. 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.240 I think it's gonna be like you and Corbyn Carroll 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.440 go to Cinerella ball. 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.120 Well, but that's a that's a giveaway, guy, man, I 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.040 could if I could get to Corbyn Carroll get him 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.120 to autograph a tier or something like that. 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.520 So he might get a restraint order if you go away, Like, Okay, 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:13.359 that's enough, man. 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.400 I think I just need to set a goal, you know, Like, 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.800 like I said the other day, very disappointed in some 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.400 of the not the bait when people are out on baseball, 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.520 the like going away from the YouTube channel, going under 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.480 our number, which got the mustache. So I don't think 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.519 I can set any goal like that. Maybe it's the 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.399 home run contest, like, you know, maybe if I can 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:38.200 finish as the top person or yeah, or forty five 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.080 or something like that. I'll think about it. We'll talk 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.880 about it on Friday. We'll get the Tiara back in 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.800 some capacity. By the way, I text Joe something yesterday 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.320 and I was up stupidly late last night and I 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.600 was almost asleep, and we're we're obviously different time zones. 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.040 He texts me at two in the morning my time, 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.040 which was five his time. I was like, what are 0:02:59.080 --> 0:02:59.720 you doing up. 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.600 At My alarm goes off at time. You guys are crazy, 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.400 you guys just the way. Well, I was laughing because 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.680 I listened to because I'm a man of the company here. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.919 So I was listening to the Fantasy pros Waiver Wires 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.560 show that Joey runs with Deebro and Company. And they 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.799 recorded that thing at seven ish, I think East Coast time, 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:21.840 like it was early as can be. And if you 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.680 guys want one of the best viral clips that should 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.079 be made of all times, listen to that show. 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.520 It's almost say I'm not gonna say what it was. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.440 Just involves Pooka and other things. So check that out. 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.040 Okay, be careful, might want to be careful here. All right, 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.600 we're gonna get into the stuff and things that is 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.360 your fantasy playoff run. I believe this is countdown to 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.080 fifth of the last five shows we have got here 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:44.360 at least for the season. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.240 Who's counting that? 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.760 Who's counting exactly? Who is actually counting here? 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:50.320 Not me? 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.280 Matt Olsen. It is fifty first home run on Tuesday 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.880 as the Braves beat the Phillies in extra innings, and 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.120 Matt Olsen has been an absolute cheat code. There's nothing 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.080 really necessarily to take away from it outside of just 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.160 talking about that home you know, home run leader board 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:07.640 is something we always like to look at towards the 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.240 end of the year. Something to talk about though. Max 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.920 sus you're going to undergo an MRI after leaving Tuesday's 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:18.359 game due to right triceps spasm, and he was not 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.280 right the previous game, but I believe this one he 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.320 was going good and then he just It has been 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.560 a disaster for Max and a disaster for the Rangers 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.200 in general. Kind of a team. I am looking to 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.200 pick on it. I made my money. You know, it's funny. 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.880 So we have the lead betting pros I got betting 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.919 pros had on today leading off group, which we have 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.279 a couple hundred people in there that you guys all joined, 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.080 So that was awesome. Tapered off towards the back end 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.000 of the year. But you can go and look at 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:48.880 stats of people and you can you can go and 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.640 follow me if you want, on the lead on the 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.040 betting pros Leading off group or just betting pros in general, 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.640 and it shows your stats, like, you know, what were you? 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.560 What's your best sport? Minds MLB over I think I 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.919 was fifty four to fifty five percent props. That's my 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.799 best and it says your best team. My best team 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.800 is the Texas Rangers to bet on this year. It's 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.440 the number one team. I was making my money early on. 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.440 I am picking on them now because all they do 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.120 is lose games. So that is that's kind of my 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.719 thing right now. As far as Max suers are, any 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.480 thoughts on this MAC, this potential backs injury the Rangers 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.920 in general, any takeaways, you know, the tough decision might 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.839 come for people that they might need that roster spot. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.159 And I think you can, you know, you can freely 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.000 dump if you need to, especially if this carries. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.280 Yeah, well, to see how it goes, because weird happen 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.680 that doing warm up pitches in the fourth inning, never 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.080 even got to start the fourth inning. They said it 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.039 would be MRI on Wednesday. Has not happened yet at 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.240 the time of this recording, of course, so that'll depend 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.240 if you're dropping or not, depends on what happens. They're like, 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.360 sures are you're gonna have to basically cut his arm 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:53.440 off to not let him pitch. 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.000 We already know that, but that might be what happened. 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:57.680 That might be what happens. Yes, so just kind of 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.359 see what this MRI looks like on Wednesday, and that 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:00.680 could be the fust. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.719 Yeah, and and JP said, let's go Texas you know what, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.159 that was one of my big preseasons. 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.120 I wanted Texas. I was rooting for Movie Me Too, big. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.240 Preseason prediction, and it looked great. And then it is 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.839 just tank. This entire team has just absolutely tanked. Also 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.960 a little bit of a tank job. And there's a 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.640 bigger thing to this. But Justin Verlander five runs over 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.599 seven innings against the A's. The A's beat up him 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.159 and Framber Valdez, which, by the way, we got a 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.599 question which we'll answer here a little bit about Hunter Brown, 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.960 which has no scientific nature to it. But if you're 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.120 gonna tell me that the A's are going to take 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.240 three straight from the Astros, then just take my money now. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.560 But like the INCNS, this is the thing I want 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.760 to do in the off season. I want to go 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.960 and do a two month timestamp of like not even 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.520 into late September. I want to go September fifteenth to 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:58.200 like August one or July fifteenth, and I want to 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:03.360 go and find not just bad numbers, but inconsistent starts, 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.640 like you might get a guy that ends up having 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.760 like a Justin verlanda like a I don't even I 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.440 didn't look what his post All Star break era is 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:11.760 but a guy that has like a four to one 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.840 era and you're like, Okay, it's a little abnormal. But 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.360 what I'm looking at is I want to see how 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.920 many of these guys are going six, giving up one, 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:24.160 striking out eight, then giving up five, then giving up four, 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.960 then coming back and being good again. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:27.480 Babba. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.040 I want to see the inconsistent because I feel like 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.240 there are more inconsistent starters right now than usual. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.760 Yeah, it's insanely inconsistent. As a season's gone, has gotten 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.240 even worse. It's weird to see. And these are and 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.080 we're talking guys that were traded for big thing let alone, 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.680 Like you know, al Kantar has been inconsistent all year. 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.239 There's been a lot of guys you wanted to trust. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:50.960 Could it be the pitch clock? They're still like not 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.320 comfortable in that world. I don't know, but it is 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.240 very very interesting to see how that all plays. I'm 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:57.240 one hundred percent with you on that. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.280 Yeah, like I want to I don't know what it is. 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.520 I want to have a term for it, but it's 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.560 a very specific term. Like Richard said, Sure's or Verland 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.640 or Darvis Kershaw, those eras are over it's a lot 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.680 of those guys, but I want to find some identifier 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.040 and I don't know if I don't know if rookies 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.280 can really qualify for this of what I'm trying to 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.560 get at, it's guys that we have trusted for the 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.960 most part that are showing not just bad ritual. Like 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.160 if a guy is going to be you know, he 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.240 was what the two and a half the ra in 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:28.680 the first half of the year, and then he's just 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:29.880 going to be a four and a half the RA 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:31.640 guy the rest of the year, you know what. We 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.240 can kind of understand that. But it's these guys that 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.400 will have two bad starts then we're like, all right, 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.920 we can move on, and then bam they go bonkers. 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:40.680 I want to have a name for it, and I 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.640 want to find like a good like stat like what 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.480 do you think the stat lock in should be for 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.000 that inconsistency? Should it be like over he should be 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.280 four runs or five runs? Like going under five? I mean, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.600 obviously it's non quality start stuff, but it's like you know, 0:08:55.679 --> 0:09:00.400 two plus walks, four plus earned runs, or maybe it's 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.720 differentials of starts. You know, it's like the swings, like 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:09.600 four run, four run earned run swings between starts and like, 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:15.280 you know, two innings pitched differentially. I'm one live workshopping it. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:16.840 I know. I know what you're saying, like did they 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.160 go deep in the game. They're not going deep. 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.440 They give up a ton of runs and they like 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.840 there's because there's different ways to specify a good bad situation, 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.520 Like look at Strider. I did some work on Strider 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.560 last night. Yes, three of his last six starts have 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.440 been really good. The other three he's allowed like five 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.440 and runs are more. He's allowed six twice. So three 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.320 starts are very good. Three starts were horrific. It's so 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.440 that's like where do you choose a sample kind of 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.719 what you're going with there? And I think it's I 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.319 don't know there's any rhyme or reason to it. That's 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.040 a great spot for like the really really smart people 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.040 in the world that can make like formulas and stuff. 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.160 But I see where your head's at for sure, Like, yeah, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.160 what do you what do you determine is that point? 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.000 Well, I got the perfect guy and I was inspired 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.640 by Mike here. It's like the in it's like the 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:06.280 crunch time inconsistency, or it's the clutch starting pitcher. You 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.920 know where does the the it's the anti clutch here 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.600 because check this out. This is the perfect example of 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.640 exactly what I'm trying to cipher here, which is becoming 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.640 more of a cipher and amaze for you guys to 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:22.640 figure out. But August first on Corbyn Burns goes six, 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.600 gives up two walks, four strikes out five. That's the 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:31.440 fifth against Pittsburgh. That's okay. Next start against against the 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.400 White Sox, goes five and two thirds, gives up five 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.360 earned runs, five strikeouts. Those are two not good teams. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.000 He then goes in to the Dodgers on the seventeenth 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:46.319 of August, goes seven, gives up two hits, strikes out nine. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.760 Next start Minnesota, who strikes out like crazy. He goes six, 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:55.760 gives up six, strikes out only five. Next start Chicago 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.480 the Cubs, go seven, strikes out seven, gives up one 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.320 ed run. Then the last two Pittsburgh he gives up 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.280 four earned runs in six and then against the Yankees 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.280 on the tenth he went eight with no earned runs, 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.679 no hits, in seven strikeouts. He is the epitome of 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:16.439 this like inconsistent playoff run pitcher, and it would almost 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.440 just be interesting to try to probably need two years 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.120 of data to see who are guys that are inconsistent 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.640 in the most clutch time. But like you also said, 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.079 there's probably not necessarily a year to year correlation. It's 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.120 just I wish we could identify these guys and give 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:34.000 people better advice. 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.320 Burns is a great one, because that's one guy that, 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.720 like Bloomfield and I talked about the Brewers top three 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.160 a couple of weeks ago, and I've had Burns my 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.360 third and then everybody I was getting so much flak 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.320 for it, and I'm like, yeah, is he good? Yeah, 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.040 But the consistency party you just hit on, like Freddy 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.440 Peltz has been a beast outside of one to start, 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.079 Woodrif just threw a shutout like and he's been getting 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:54.840 better at better since coming back from the IL, and 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:55.480 Burns is that guy. 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:56.360 You don't know what you're getting. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.280 You have no clue what you're getting from time, Like 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.679 it's a short start, it's like a runs Like you said, 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.160 everything you mentioned there, it's all over the board. But 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.520 were you ever going to tell someone those sick Corbyn Burns? 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.319 Probably not, But like like you're saying, is there a 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.000 formula to help someone save a team, because like, I know, 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.079 you got your chats with with IL, I got stuff 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:13.920 with with what I got going on with Gain and 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.120 the Edge, and I got people like, oh my ratios 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.200 just got destroyed and playoff week and I'm like, dude, 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.920 you are never not starting. This guy like to cry 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.280 about it, like I don't know what to tell you. 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.280 Well, And that's why what I'm what I'm hoping to 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:30.040 contemplate here is like something that maybe maybe is the 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.960 differentiating factor in like draft season. Again, it might not be, 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.079 it might be nothing like it's just it might be 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.000 the most non sticky thing on the planet where it's 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.120 just like it's just something to kind of monitor, you know, 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.320 blah blah blah. And but if you could find some 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.600 type of correlation, especially year over year, maybe that's going 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.000 to be you know why you don't draft you know, 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.400 I mean, Clinton Kershaw is kind of becoming this a 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.600 little bit. It just it'd be a fun thing to explore. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.600 Doesn't help anybody right now. But Corbin Burns is like 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.880 the prime example, So think you might of exactly the 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.680 type of player I'm talking about in this and it 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.040 is super frustrating, like you said, because what can you do? 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.040 One of the craziest stories all season. He just continues 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.400 to go. And I just laugh at myself about how 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.800 I just remember being asked about him and just I 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.880 was just like, ah, nothing, and it was just stupid 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.680 to me. But David Snyder just continues to roll. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:22.040 Man. 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.800 He had a solo homer, we went two for four 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.560 here on Tuesday night. But you look at the numbers 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.760 in general, he has a twenty one percent barrel percentage 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.440 on the season. He's got a two point fifty three 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.840 expected batting average compared to his three seventies. Obviously there's 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.120 a huge swing, but it's still pretty good. You're looking 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.040 at a forty percent hard hit rate. Cas are a little 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.800 bit high. Hard hit numbers look pretty good in general. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.480 Expected slug is up there. If he qualified, you guys, 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.440 I mean you can see the kind of muted out 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.680 colors of his Baseball Savant page. But he doesn't qualify. 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.839 It would be a phenomenal qualification. I mean, it looks 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.960 like expected slug expected wOBA is in like the top 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.440 five percentile. And he has just been a beast all 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.600 season long. And David Snyder is going to probably be 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.559 still a late round draft guy next year, but I 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.880 think it's gonna be worth while as long as it 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:16.959 doesn't get too crazy. But the Homers have been there, 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.000 He's been a crazy good story, and he is hitting 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:19.840 the ball consistently. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.760 Bubba yep, I love him. I have him in a 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:22.320 lot of places. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:23.880 I was kind of bummed because I dropped him while 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.120 back because he wasn't playing at all. And then Chapman 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.680 gets hurt. Snyder's back in there playing every day, but 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.360 Chet came back, shifting him primarily to third base. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:32.840 Just be prepared, though. 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.560 Chapman is starting to do baseball activities and might come 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.280 back sometime late this week or early next week. Then it 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.120 gets interesting for Schnyder. But yeah, while he's out there, 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.480 he's awesome. And I'm really curious to see where he 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.360 fits with the Jays next year because that'll obviously affect 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:47.120 where we draft him. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:51.600 Yeah, exactly. And then finally in keeping with the Blue Jays. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.480 This is like a wild story. But I don't know 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.320 if you guys saw this, but our beloved Alec Manoa, 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:01.640 who we talked so much about, Apparently Alec Manoa has 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.720 not reported to triple A since being sent down, I 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.200 believe a month ago. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.520 Was it was like mid August, Yes, about a month ago. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.040 Yeah, it was. It was right around mid August that 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:13.920 he was sent down. 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:15.600 I think we all assume he just went because nothing 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:16.000 was said. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.040 Yeah, well we just didn't think we No one was 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.880 thinking about him. And the report is that it's over 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:28.560 a disagreement just in general about it now. My immediate 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.680 response when I looked at this is I wanted to 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.640 be I wanted to be a little sensitive to like 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.400 I was trying to think of, like, Okay, if I 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.240 were Alec Manoa, everybody in the world's on my case. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.240 Everybody thinks I kind of stink and stuff like that, 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.600 and that would be upsetting, and maybe there's like a 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.880 mental health side to it. But there's then also the 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.720 idea that, like, you make a lot of money, you're 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.560 a professional athlete, and this isn't like, hey, I need 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.920 like a mental break because this is tough or your 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.120 kind of upset whatever it is. This is like you 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.280 didn't report to your job because you're being a cry 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.480 baby about not liking the results or what's going on. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.840 Like I don't even be the mean to caut more. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:11.840 But you stink like you stink. You got to get 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.000 it fixed. And if they send you down there to 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.920 not report, I think it's wild that dude. That dude's 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.520 on a whole nother spectrum right now and we should 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.560 all be out on alec Mino. And I would expect 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.960 he's out with this team. I mean, you can't just 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.800 not report. This is probably going to get messy in 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.960 the offseason, or I don't know, maybe they'll just be like, 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.800 maybe we'll learn that they really did just give him 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.960 some time off. But the report came out that they 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.560 didn't and he didn't report, and he is mia. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.080 There's a lot of mining offenses that's gonna have to 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.920 take place to make this work. He was crying playing 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:49.520 time manipulation, and I said, they weren't going to manipulate Jack. 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.840 If you learned how to pitch properly, you were their 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.680 ace coming in the season. There was no manipulation in place. 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.080 You struggled, they tried to send you to get help 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.600 in like the low rookie ball in Florida that didn't 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.400 work out. They tried to put you on a diet 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.640 that door and I can make that joke. People I 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.480 can go there. Yeah, so they've tried all these things. 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.680 They've brought you back. You had one good start against 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.000 a bad team, then you got shelled again. This is 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.680 a business in the end, you're paid to perform. You 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.040 were not performing. Very simple stuff. You need to go back, 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:19.359 you need to get it fixed, or you need to 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.359 find something else to do. I don't know what it is. 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.320 Maybe it's working for sharmans. You can get your tears 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.280 cleared up, something like that. Maybe I'm sorry I should 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.280 be sensitive, but I'm not. When I see a professional 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:29.600 athlete basically pull stuff like. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.159 This, like if he were like I need a break, 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.720 if he would have said, like I needed a break everything, like. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.040 Trevor May had a mental health break. Cool, go for it, 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:38.399 do your thing. This ain't it. 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.720 Austin Meadows has been gone for like two months because 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:42.320 of it. I would have understanded that. And I know 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:43.640 there are a lot of people would have been like, oh, 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.280 the soft player. I'd have understand it, Like, no one's 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.240 got more hate and fan fabi's I have been pretty 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:50.280 rough on Manoa. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:51.720 Yeah, but he was my list this year. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.639 He was a bust. He was in my bust stuff 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.520 all season. Long and he has been atrocious, so but 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.679 I wanted to be a little sensitive to that because 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.480 people are rough, But like, that is not what this 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.360 scenario is. And that team let this leak and it's 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:06.919 a it's. 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:07.480 A it's a rough. 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.680 There's a lot going on there and it's not gonna 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:10.880 get good for a long time. 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.080 It's a real look rookie, lookie. Ronnie Mauricio hit his 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.359 first major league homer. It was a two run shot 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.000 as the Mets beat the Diamondbacks, which was stupid. It 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:23.399
