This is leading off, brought to 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:19.919 you by Bet MGM. 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.720 The King of sports books is me, Joey Pa Joe, 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.120 piece of Pia with me as always is the Welsh, 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.000 And of course it's you, the Peanuts, the cracker Jack, 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.680 the Cracker Jacks, the cracker Randos, all of you hanging 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:32.760 out talking baseball. 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.239 You could tell I need a vacation. This is my 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.360 last shot before I go on vacation. I am taking 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.040 four whole days off. Wow, that is a stunning amount 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.320 of time for me. Of course, the Welsh will be 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:48.480 here with the special Friends Bogman, Casey Bubba next week 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.839 to help out hold down the fort. I will be 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:55.040 back on Friday. But Welsh, it was pandemonium in the Bronx. 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.800 Did we see last night between the Astros and the 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:02.480 Yankees the potential al C S preview? My friend, I mean. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.720 We've kind of talked about it for like the last month, 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.240 about you know, this entire series with both of these 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:08.400 the East Coast bias. 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.920 Yeah, it was good. I watched quite a bit of it. 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.440 Aaron Judge able to walk it off you get some 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.440 early homers. There was at one moment too, very early 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.320 on in the game where the Astros has gotten up. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:24.399 Oh yeah, that's gotten up, and you'd had Stanton with 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:25.440 that homer to tie it. 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:26.920 You get the Mets doing their thing. 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.520 It's a there's a lot of good baseball going on 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.080 right now, Joe. It's it's such a travesty that you 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.200 are leaving to go ride the teacups as great baseball 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:35.920 is going on. 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.400 We are not running the tea cups. We're going to Universal. 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.040 We're gonna go see Harry Potter. We're gonna go see 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.400 Marvel stuff. We're gonna go do all that fun stuff. 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.640 Who is marvel Land or whatever the hell it's called 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:46.839 there in Star wars Land. 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.800 Star wars Land is in the Disney side of things, 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.640 but Universal has the that whole Marvel section still, and 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.280 they're also building a whole like Mario Kart, you know, 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.840 superal World or some crazy thing like that. 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.040 Not Mario, but Mario, Mario, Wait. 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.920 Mario, you do Mario? Hey, what's Mario? But no, that's 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.240 that's still in progress. That's still a couple of years away. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.120 Putants to get rid of me. Look at this he says, 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.640 don't come back, Joe, don't come back a harsh tie. Wait, 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:17.080 what up? 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.079 What's your what's your first ride? Not to derail us here, 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:20.600 but what is. 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.720 Going right to bringotts? Because I didn't get to do 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.720 it last time three years ago? A little too small, gringots. 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.040 It's the it's the bank inside of Harry Potter. There's 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.360 a whole ride inside there. I wanted to do, but 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.600 of course my oldest doesn't care for rides, and three 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.840 years ago the little one was too little. So it's like, okay, 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.639 well we can't do this first thing. We're going right 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.760 for that that first morning because we got that that 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.520 early entry to the park. 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.640 That big money, big money. Hey, I'm the host of 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:48.880 Fantasy Prose. 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:50.040 Move inside. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:51.680 Hey buddy, let me get through the line. 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.080 Do you know who I am? 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.440 Did you hire someone people away? Do you have security? 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.239 Do you have security there to make sure that you're. 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.320 Not just my unle just my youngest daughters? 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.880 All right, well she'll do Yeah, it's good farm. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.800 But yeah, that's so that's that's the deal. And then 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.320 we're gonna do one day at Epcot, so you know 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.359 that's that'll be fun kind of break it up a 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.560 little bit, but then you know, look, it's uh. I 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.280 haven't been like on a proper vacation with them over 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.040 three years. You know, we've been trying to do this 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.919 trip for three years. We went there in twenty eighteen, 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.880 we haven't been back since. So I'm looking forward to this. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.320 It's gonna be a good time. I need it. I'm 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.880 gonna get hammered on butter beer. It's gonna be awesome. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.519 And for those of you saying, but you're a single 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.120 parent out there with two children, there's no alcohol and 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.600 butter beer, it's just sugar. So that's that's where that is. Also, 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.720 let's get to more baseball. So here we go. Let's 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.320 hit the headlines. Adlie Rutchman rocked the White Sox with 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.720 a home run three RBI. You know, I love watching 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.840 Adlie Ruchmand play baseball. I think he's going to be 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.840 a star in the major leagues for sure. I always 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.760 thought that when they drafted him to love the swing, 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.960 love the dude like he is. Just again, Baseball's got 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.120 a lot of great, bright young stars in it, and 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.040 if they market them properly, it's going to be a 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.760 renaissance potentially for baseball in the next few years if 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.800 they do it the right way. Kyle Schwarber is doing 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.880 it the right way. Twentieth homer. Look at the Schwarbs. 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:15.240 How about that Schwarbs right now? Looking pretty good right there, Welsh. 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:14.920 I know. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.200 And we talked about putting him in the AL or 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.800 no the NL All Star voting. Yep, And that was 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.720 tough because it's two thirty. He's under two thirty batting average, 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.400 and the dude's got twenty homers. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.080 He's he's an enigma. I love it. I love just fun. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.159 He's also a little on the pudgier side of baseball players, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.200 so I respect that. I like that he's a little 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:35.720 bit bigger. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.239 Oh well, now your co hot stuff makes sense. Okay, 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.320 it makes sense. I'm your Schwarber, all right, Harper, let's. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.280 Go, I please, Bryce. I wish I had Bryce Harper's hair. 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.480 If I had Bryce Harper's hair, let me tell you. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.880 If you think I'm obnoxious now, you ain't see nothing yet. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.120 That would have been impossitive. 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.120 I could see. You'd have a lot of slow motion 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:54.880 flow videos where you'd be like. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.960 Yeah, so good. Joe Musgrove allowed six runs, by far 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.760 his worst start in the year. In that same game 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.960 against the Phillies, his era is all the way above two. Now, 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:09.880 oh no, how will we ever survive Joe Musgrove's bad start? Ridiculous? 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.799 Aaron Judge delivered the walk off, much to Mike Mayer's dismay. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.239 But Jordan Alvarez hit a home run, so I'm still 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.200 on that board, a three run dinger, and just everybody knows, 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.679 I picked Alvarez yesterday. I'm gonna pick Alvarez for the weekend. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.600 Alvarez is my perpetuity on vacation. Home run, I am 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.320 legit checking out from everything, So Alvarez is my dude. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.320 I'm sticking with my boy. But look, a big game 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.800 for the Yankees last night, and today they get to 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.640 go to arbitration hearing with Aaron Judge after last night. 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.359 Why is arbitration still happening in I saw that the 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.120 other day, Like, who is it? Max Freed won his arbitration. 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.680 I'm like, what we're in June? Why are we doing 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.559 arbitration right now? That doesn't make sense. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.039 Yeah, look here's the thing. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:54.800 I love that. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.480 By the way, ye yes, doctor Glenn's right, someone. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.960 Should I don't know how we could do this. Don't 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:00.800 know how we could do this. 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.840 I would love to have a Joey p hair photoshop 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.640 contest while you're gone next week. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.680 Submission. I don't know how to do it. 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.840 Let me think on it, but submissions that I could 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.760 do all the way through Thursday and then when you 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.719 return Friday, we could Maybe we can. 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.280 Do it on this corner. You could do it on 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.760 Maybe I'll do it on MLB chat. I mean that's 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.440 the way place to do it there and then have 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:24.839 a contest put up for a vote. 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.080 Maybe I'll do it general or it might even be 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.680 in my welsh Ama. Just be on the lookout for it. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.719 You might want to be joined up in there. I 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.440 might post that I need those photos and then I 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.599 will pick a winner and bog and I will go 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:37.920 over it. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:39.400 I don't know how I can share it on here 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.200 because we got the overlay and stuff, but we'll figure 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:41.440 it out. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:42.839 Oh, you could share it on here. You just upload 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.600 the picture and just put it in there. I mean, 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.320 there's that's you could definitely do that. I mean it's 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.840 going to be, you know, upsetting and awesome at the 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.520 same time. I'm sure. But if I'm the Yankees in 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.279 this arbitration here hearing. I'm going in there. They're offering 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.640 seventeen million. I think I saw, and he wants twenty 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.800 one or whatever that was of the numbers. You go 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.960 in there and just say, here you go, here's twenty one. 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.200 Let's go back to the dugout and play baseball. That's 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.480 just what you talking about this conversation. You do not. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.160 I mean, you would be so obnoxious if you're the 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.640 Yankees right now, to quibble over four million dollars four 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.200 million dollars for the Yankees for Am Judge right now. 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.000 It's ridiculous. And if you want any good faith in 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.320 these negotiations coming up when he's a free agent, you 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.280 must do this. I'm sorry, it's just insane. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.720 What I would do is actually go in and start 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.040 citing Shoheo Tani's numbers about why he's MVP and Aaron 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.320 Judge is not MVP, and it's a fool's bet to 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.640 make that, and then maybe you could get a million 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:34.440 or two off of it. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:35.480 I think that's the play. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.720 What kind I mean, that's quite a job. I want 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.760 to be like the you know, like they have these 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.760 Netflix movies about these weird niche jobs and things like this. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.400 I want to be like, he's the arbiter. He's the 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.400 guy that comes in who like you know, craps on 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.200 like the talented players in every sport and somehow squeezes 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.800 all the money until one day, one story steals his 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.760 heart and yeah, all the money. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:59.920 Well, the arbiter is the guy that's making the decision 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.559 a bunch of scumming lawyers that are sitting there making 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.040 the decision. I mean it's like, you know, any horrible 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.600 I watch an insanely sick amount of like true life 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.440 true crime like shows on Netflix, and then every time, 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.760 you know, there's the god awful person and their lawyers 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.280 and you're like, oh, how do these people sleep at 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.480 night defending them? Like it's like the same thing, like 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.440 they get a, teams get a lawyers are like, hey, 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.040 it's just business, and they come in and. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.480 They're like this guy stinks. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.920 Maybe he's doing steroids, we don't know, and they're just 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.080 trashing and demolishing a player, Like those are the scumbags. 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.680 The arbiter is there, probably with no actual relation to 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.280 sports or baseball or anything like that, and just goes 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:35.320 with the scummiest one. 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.679 Yeah, look, the Yankees. You're making a big mistake if 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.160 they go to this hearing and just don't pay him. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.880 I do agree with you on that, though I don't 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.000 even know why they're going to the hearing like that. 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.240 That to me is already obnoxious. Like if I'm Aaron Judge, 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.880 I gotta get dressed up, go into suit and go 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:49.920 to this hearing today, Like that's ridiculous. 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.240 I mean, remember the Chris Bryant one, Like remember the 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.720 relationships that happened with Chris Bryant, Like that's what you face. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.520 Especially, I just I can't. 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.600 So cannot fathom. Are almost July and I didn't know 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.000 that our tration was still going on. This should be done, 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.800 you know how. Just an anecdotal thing I've talked about, 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.320 like seeing the Lucas gi Alito over the White Sox camp. 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.319 Lucas Giolito is a little bit of a tight tight arse, 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.480 if you will, type of guy who kind of walks 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.520 around and can just look intimidating and stuff like that 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.520 and not want to talk to people. The day his 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:25.160 arbitration settled, it was a different human being you've never seen. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.800 He was spent the entire he waited for every fan 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.920 to leave. He took pictures, he sign autographs, he talked 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:31.480 to people. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.240 And I even asked him. I was just like, how 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:34.960 are you feeling with the arbitration. 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.600 He's like like a monkey off my back, like it 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:38.280 was something that. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.760 This organization makes your dream come true. You're playing well 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:46.520 for this organization. You are an MVP for this organization. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.080 You are the face of this organization. They're quabbling about 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.199 four million dollars with you. It's absurd. It's bad business 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.360 for I mean, it's just the Yankees in bad business 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:55.760 right now. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.520 Probably make that up in July. 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.480 Jersey sales, Oh, Player and Judge please, I mean, how 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.520 about the MVP Aaron Judge, you know, T shirts that 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.600 they're gonna sell and all the other nonsense. I mean, 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.440 come on, man, it's just here's the commemorative you know, 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.160 Aaron Judge bubblehead for MV. I mean, come on, it's 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:14.840 gonna be absurd. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.440 It's ridiculous. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.960 Anyway, Yeah, the huge bubblehead, his giant melon. All right, 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.400 James McCann could be activated off the IL on Friday 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.360 for the New York Mets. That's good. Also, Max Shur's 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.079 are coming back Sunday. Make sure you get him in 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.439 your lineups if you haven't already. Jacob de Gram apparently 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.360 there's some people saying after the All Star break, but 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.520 there's some people who think he might make a start before. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.040 This just came out yesterday too. He had a thirty 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:43.640 pitch bullpen session on Tuesday, and that's going in the 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.240 right direction there, and then he's thrown simulated innings. On 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.160 the fourteenth, he threw the thirty pitch bullpen session, then 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.520 he had simulated innings three days afterwards, and he's gonna 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.520 face live hitters this week again. So look, it seems 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.360 like it's going in the right direction. I still say 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:00.840 it's going to be a after All Star break, but 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.079 at least so far, the most important thing with de 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.680 Gram is you haven't heard any setback or pain issues. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:08.760 That to me is most important though here. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.520 And I think that I would also know whatever you know. 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.400 If you were to get a start, I think it 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.520 would be two innings. I think it'd be capped at forty. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.280 I mean, I'd be still shocked if he did, because 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.600 he's got to get innings under his belt. He hasn't 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.120 had it for months, so I would think you'd have 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.280 to go on a rehab stint. Let's say it's a 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.560 small rehab stint or whatever. I think the most it 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.920 would be is two or three innings right before the 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:31.719 All Star break. Get a little bit of work and 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.280 see how it goes. Nothing pressed. So for us, I 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:38.800 really don't think there's anything positive concern pre All Star break. 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.120 We're not going to get a win, We're not going 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.120 to get a quality start. We're just not going to 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.079 get anything significant outside of a few strikeouts and always 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:46.640 be a little bit weary. I mean, I always put 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.880 my stars in immediately after injury. Stars, other guys maybe not. 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.040 That would be a situation. I probably wouldn't be jumping 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.040 to try to get him back in the starting lineup 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.240 until he's full go. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.960 Yeah, agreed. Agreed. Also, by the way, Mike Mayer would 0:11:59.960 --> 0:12:01.959 be very good in that part as the arbitration lawyer 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.439 who comes in and just craps on every good player 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.880 no matter what he that. You know, Mike, if you 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.040 ever leave Fantasy Pros, that's got to be your job. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:10.920 I mean, mister judge, I'd like to ask you a question. 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:15.520 Have you ever handed a ball to a child? Eighteen million, eighteen. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.520 That's the best I could do is seventeen and a half. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.480 I mean, that's bast likely. Yea, all right, Josh Harrison 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.880 left with triceps contusion. Also for the White Sox, they 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.560 announced that Danny Mendick suffered and torn acl during that 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.720 collision on Wednesday's game, so you know, hopefully a speedy 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.200 recovery for him. Bryce Harper is going to have that 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.160 elbow reevaluated next week. I don't like the sound of this. 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.120 We talked about the Philly bounce. We got the Philly bounce. Now, 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.400 if you look at the schedule, I think three of 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.440 the next four teams that they face on their schedule 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.800 are the top three pitching teams in the National League. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.920 So just fyi, guys, remember we talked about the bounce. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.120 Beyond the bounce. If you're betting be on the bounce 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.520 or fantasy, now might be the time to start to 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:00.960 look elsewhere. I mean, Bryce Harper reevaluating the elbow doesn't 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.800 sound great to me. There's some issues here. This might 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.480 be the end of the feel good story for the Phillies. 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.800 I'm just saying, yeah, I've been holding out a few 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.080 little hopes that you know, there's still so much season 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.800 to be played. That just a heart run, hard, hard run, 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.280 hot run from Bryce Harper could still get him in here. 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:19.719 But I'm not feeling great about it. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.520 I had cashed out, by the way, to answer the question, 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.240 I cash out, and I told everyone I cash out 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.400 to Bryce Harper MVP. Right when they fired the manager. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.760 That was it for me. It was like and now 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.160 I was like, nope, not doing this, reinvested it. I 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.400 think that was the one I reinvested into Goldschmid and 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.120 that was when Goldshmid I think was at five to 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.800 one or six to one at the time. So good move. 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.400 There also new poll speaking of can we talk about 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.480 this new poll on MLB dot com where they pulled 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.360 a bunch of people for the awards. Aaron Judge, no surprise, 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.880 got the most votes, twenty seven first place votes. The 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.360 second with eleven first place votes was Jose Ramirez, which 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.640 I've been pounding the table for. I don't know why 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:04.000 he's not getting more publicity for this award. What was 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.200 shocking to me that Trout got the next en Devors 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:12.119 than Alvarez Otani just three first place votes. That is absurd. 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.280 I'm looking at this and I was gonna go Joe 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.880 the most shocking is actually that Atani didn't make this 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:21.160 list whatsoever. He's second in the books, but he's not 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:21.880 in the top five. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.000 Who did they What did they pull here? They just 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.320 say leaders. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:30.440 Who they know. They pulled Mike Mayer's family, They pulled 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.320 people who give balls away to other people. Now here 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.400 are the results. Let's see. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.720 I'm sure are these people. It's not even saying who 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.280 these people are. They put his article out. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.480 It's like, yeah, I thought it was writers, but I mean, 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:44.400 apparently most. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.080 Treat this like the All Star Game. They just asked 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:46.720 some fans. 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.080 I don't think they asked fans. I think it was 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.800 probably and of course the National League. No surprise. Goldschmid 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.280 twenty six first place votes, made Machado fifteen, Bryce Harper 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.560 got one, uh, and then Pete Alonso got five first 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.120 place vot It's Mookie Betts got two first place votes, 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.840 so uh again, I never thought Mookie Bets was going 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.760 to be this. Alonso is the dark horse. It's a 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.760 two person race between Manny Machado and Paul Goldschmith this 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:14.400 year and Cardinals Nation. You know again, Goldschmid a very 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.720 I would say, more widely liked player and respected player 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.440 than Manny Machado. So don't be surprised if it becomes 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.720 a political contest because it's baseball and Barry Bonds and 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.200 Roger Clemens aren't in the Hall of Fame, so of 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:28.840 course it's yeah. 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.480 You know, I would you know, someone just said, I 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.640 want to point this out. Silas just said that pole 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.880 must have come out last week. Came out yesterday. It 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.600 came out yesterday yesterday. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.000 It just got published this morning on MLB dot com. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.760 So yeah, so no, they might have taken the poll 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.080 last week. That's fair. Like they might have assembled these 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:49.720 these statistics before the Otani last two days of madness. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.240 Maybe good point. They could have done the polling right before. 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:53.120 That's awesome. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:55.720 Speaking well, real quick, real quick. 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:56.880 The only thing I just wanted to say is like, 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.840 I feel like I would like, maybe should do this. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.520 Get a real voter, and I know a couple of 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.960 people who have actual votes, because I need to know 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.800 and understand the explanation. 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.240 Of Starker against votes for Hall of Fame. 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.920 I just talked to Steve like a month ago and 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:14.800 didn't eno start getting it as well. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.160 I feel like eno just recently, maybe maybe I'm not 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.680 right closer than I. Yeah, I'll have to hit it. 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:20.960 I want to hit one of them up to ask, 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.120 because the only thing I'm curious about is why is 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.240 Judge so unanimously running away with this when last year 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.760 I keep saying the same thing, when you had a 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.640 triple crown threat against Atani last year in one of 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:33.640 the most incredible season. 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.560 Answer, and Otani's not even in it. 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:41.760 Yes, please, Yes, he's a Yankee. He's a Yankee. It's 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.320 New York, New York Yankee baseball. They also happen to 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.400 have the best record in baseball, and they also happen 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.560 to be on pace for one of the best records 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.680 of all time in baseball. That is special. I disagree 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.880 with the fact that there is a divide there between them. 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.360 I'm with you. That's the answer, easy. Yankee and the 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.200 Yankees are an all time pace. Now it's probably an 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.240 unsustainable pace. So if it starts to go south in 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.560 July and August a little bit, that Otani conversation is 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.800 gonna get very different. But just once again, it is 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.800 a little weird. Now I'm try my transition again. Speaking 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.200 of polls, I put a poll out there yesterday on 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.880 the Twitter machine. What's more irritating people who tweet that's it, 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.440 that's the tweet, or people who like tweets that are 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.240 that's it, that's the tweet. Welsh, do you want to 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.000 weigh in on this before I tell everybody the results 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:30.400 of this poll? 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.960 Oh, I mean it is without hesitation, the person that 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:35.639 goes that's the tweet. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.000 Yeah, that's the tweet. Seventy eight percent of people agree 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.040 with you. I think that the people who like it 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.840
