It's a good 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.200 thing and Welsh. We got a lot to break down today, 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.320 as we always do. Happy show, Hey Tony day to 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:37.000 all of you who celebrate. And I am miserable because 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.800 everything I touched turned to crap yesterday. 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.000 That's right, I was just a mush. 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.920 I was the absolute l of L's capital l loser yesterday. 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.320 So I'm gonna own it. It was a bad day. 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.320 We move on from here, Welsh. I think I'm gonna 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:53.600 call it what you had last week when I was 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:54.120 on vacation. 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:59.120 Yeah, it's it's the cooler day. I'm all too familiar, 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:03.040 all too familiar where everything you say turns to much 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.479 wrong about everything I feel it. I totally know I mean, 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.039 I was rasing you a little bit online, but it 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.520 wasn't even about the daily take. It was the big 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.600 take about my boy Zach Gallon, who I put in 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.119 the trade video which is on Fantasy pros. Let's get 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.320 those downloads up and those clicks up on it. Who 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.520 was one of the highlights of that video. Who happened 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.560 to be pitching yesterday, And he was pretty deep deepty 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.639 good with the forty one csw and eleven strikeouts, No big. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:30.480 Deal, he was. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.119 And we had a great conversation yesterday on the show 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.119 about Zach Gallen and trading four or trading away Zach Gallen. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.039 And I think you know that was a really interesting 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.200 conversation we had yesterday. I know you did a breakdown too. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.679 That window might have closed with yesterday start how good 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.560 it was. It's very possible. But he wasn't the only 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.040 one who was good yesterday. Because the unstoppable Tampa Bay 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.400 Rays just continue to be unstoppable. They are ten and 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:57.320 oh welsh, ten and oh unbelievable. Now thirteen wins open 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.400 the season. That is the record. That is the Brewers 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.760 from nineteen day. Yes, I'm old enough to remember that 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.400 that was in my childhood, and it was pretty cool. 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.560 That was the Dan Pleisek Teddy higueera era with Robin 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.040 Yeout and Paul Molitor. It was fun team rob Deer 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.520 striking out every other at bad good times. But Brandon 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.680 Lowe go ahead solo Homer, Peter Fairbanks slamming the door 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.840 on the Red Sox and the ninth too. So the 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.000 Rays continue to take advantage of their early opening schedule. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.359 And it's funny because they were by far the third 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.440 place team in terms of what Vegas looked at them. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.720 But so far, men, everything is broken right for the race. 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.720 Here's the question the Welsh as they start to play 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.640 the teams like the Yankees again and you know some 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.680 of those upper tier teams like the Blue Jays and 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.520 so on and so forth, how do you think this team, 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.440 in particular, from the way their structure is going to 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.200 hold up. I know low being back has been a 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.600 great addition back into that lineup, along with Wander Franco 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:50.799 hitting with a Rosa rain up. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.320 Now, all of a sudden, it seems like they have 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:53.160 a real offense. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.320 Do you think the next five months this Rai's offense 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.480 can continue to play at this very high level that 0:02:58.480 --> 0:02:59.079 they are right now. 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.840 Yeah, I mean I think like there are what a 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:06.040 sum is bigger than the the parts. 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:07.679 Now, I don't even want to say it because I 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:09.359 love a good Welshism, so I kind of want to 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.280 some is better than two in the. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:12.880 Book, it's bad. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.800 What I'm saying is like that team plays really well together, 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.200 and all those pieces work kind of in junk in 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.440 conjunction with each other that it's like, you know, when 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.560 one kind of falls off, the other's picking up. Brandon 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.560 Lao hitting was a huge critical piece. I actually think 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.720 this team might consider down the road, especially with the 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.000 plethora of pieces they've got in the minor league system, 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.880 to make a trade to kind of bolster up. But 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.440 I mean this is built around that pitching. And someone 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.080 in the chat pointed out, like Tyler Glasnow is coming 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.360 back as well. Jeffery Springs, Drew Rasmussen, and Sean McClanahan 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.800 kind of lead the way getting glass Now back in. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.160 That's what's going to be so difficult. Got a great bullpen. 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.920 A great bullpen if you think like Jason Adam and 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.360 you think of Peter Fairbanks, and then you go and 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.560 you put a killer four person rotation in there. You 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.360 just got to get a couple more pieces. Wander hitting 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.120 is the catalyst and all the other It's like, you know, 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.880 the cream rises to the top analogies. I can get 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:13.880 into the race. I'm thinking brother Tampa Bay Race. I'm contemplated, 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.720 though I don't. I'm I'm a little bit worried about 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.840 Mushing because I kind of want to take him today 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.480 because Shane McClanahan is on the bump. That's my guy. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:21.799 I've been waiting. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.520 It's funny you said that because Whitlock comes back and 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.040 I've been waiting to find Okay, it's gonna end soon. 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.240 This is a game where they're a heavy favorite because McClanahan. 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:31.520 There's a part of me that wanted to bet the 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.520 Red Sox side of it. But I don't think it's today, 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.760 But it is coming. Winter is today, the Red Sox. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.680 Winter is coming. Like for do Goo endeavors. Both have 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.360 like a four hundred career record against him, which worries 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.320 me a little bit, especially with any lefties that are 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.000 gonna do you two lefties that have a good track 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.200 record on him. Yeah, but it's not a great it's 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.680 not a huge, huge like favor there if you take 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.240 the run line. Here the run line, you actually get 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.240 plus money on one and a half, and that's what 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.200 I'm tempted about. One and a half run So if 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.320 they win by two, ye plus one thirty five is 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.440 kind of why I want to do it. I also 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.279 don't like Garret Whitlock coming off of coming off of 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.080 his rehab stents, and I think he could get beat 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.479 up a little bit. But it's tenuous because we're in 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.239 that territory where we're like it's gonna happen some point. 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.280 Some point is not gonna happen. I don't think it's 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:18.360 gonna be today. 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.200 At Lea's gonna be today either, which why I didn't 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.160 bet it. Bryce Elder was the only thing I did 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:23.480 get right yesterday. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.719 So he was, uh, he was was. 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.800 Your price Elder? That is gonna be Oh yeah, dfs. 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:29.840 Oh the DFS play. Yeah. He was like eight K. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.080 I mean, it was a great start there for him, 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.800 A seven strikeout, six and a third squirrel sittings. That's 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.760 what you want, hard earned victories, you know, that's what 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.120 you're looking for there. But so far, twelve and a 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.000 third innings, thirteen k's four walks, a point ninety seven 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.719 whip I'll do. And on Sunday he faces Kansas City, 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.360 so that's another good situation there for him. Gunnar Henderson, 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.000 this came up in the chat here I saw this 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.280 is a great question from Tim Sawyer. Tim, I'll get 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.000 I bring up this question. Then I'm gonna go through 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.440 some Gunner Henderson stuff. He was not in the lineup yesterday. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.400 He's hitting just a buck forty eight eight four for 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.080 twenty seven, one homer, one steal through eight games. 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.800 It's only eight games. But this is a great question 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.200 from Tim in the chat. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.280 And again I always encourage everybody, if you get a 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.760 chance ever, you're free join us live, get your questions 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.719 in the chat. We literally have hundreds of people always 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.880 watching live. The chat is very lively. People ask great questions. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.279 We'll make you famous, will put it on the show 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.000 if you ask a good one or a stupid one. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.680 We love stupid questions too. Which third base do you 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.680 see a month from now being the easier start? Josh 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.600 Young from the Texas Rangers or Gunner Henderson of the Orioles. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.240 That's especially they phrased it too. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:32.760 That's Timmy crush this one. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:37.320 It's a great way to put it. I don't know 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.919 how else to do this without like putting caveats to it. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.480 I guess if I'm you know what, if I'm just 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.040 gonna throw it out there. I'm gonna throw it out 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.600 there and say Josh Young. And this is being a 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:50.039 little bit more of a reactionary my caveat wanted to be. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.560 If Gunner starts hitting, even just a little bit and 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.640 kind of finds his rhythm, it's gonna be him because 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.680 of the stolen bases, you know, the stolen based potential. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.120 Here's the problem, forty k rate. He's walking twenty two percent, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.080 but it's a forty percent k rate and expect a 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.560 batting average under two hundred right now. So it's just 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.320 like really difficult to kind of gauge, like where is 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.760 he going to go? I think everything is too outside 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.560 of Corman Carroll will never walk in the history of ever. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.480 I think everything else is still just in the way 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.280 too early phase. And I don't want to be chalking 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.320 off Gunner Henderson because I think he's a really good hitter. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.160 It's just those k numbers are alarming. He's already sitting 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.440 and Josh Young is already putting a big power on 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.760 a team that I think is going to be a 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.640 playoff contender. So I guess I'm gonna say Josh Young. 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.800 I don't think yeah, yeah, Look, I'm gonna say this. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.520 I'm gonna say Gunnar Henderson. I'll take the other side 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.320 of this one. I'm gonna give a little bit more 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:42.720 time because I like what I saw at a Gunner 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.680 Henderson last year, good minor league track record. Now I'm 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.400 a Josh Young guy too, So it's not like in 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.960 either or I like both of them. But the answer 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.560 the question, I'm gonna go with the Hendersons side too. 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.120 I'm just gonna give him a little bit more time. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:53.280 Now. 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.800 Speaking of a player, We've give him a lot of 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.080 time too, a lot of time all of us have 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.800 given many many years. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.000 Now our lives to Jared Kelnick. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.360 Jared Kelnick in his first home run the season last 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.360 night was a big home run too. Jared Kelnick looks 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:08.720 pretty good, Welsh. 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:09.840 Is this it? 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:15.200 Have we finally gotten the Jared Kelnick that we were promised. 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.800 All these years ago? Is it time with Jared Kelnick? 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.040 I think, I think, I think you went through three 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.720 different pronunciations of Jared Kellick's name in there. I was 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.280 face the first one. I was like, did he say Kellennick? 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.120 And then you'd said Kelnick? Perfect? And then I love 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.880 it because that's pot Jared Kelnick, that's his, and there's clinic. 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.240 That's the only one we didn't get well. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.560 I had a high colinic ones. It cleaned me out completely. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.240 It was excellent pitch that he could have used one 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:40.959 of those. Let me tell you know that. 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.920 That's the only thing the emptier after me with the 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.920 high clinic was the was the batting average of Jared Kelnick. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.000 Jared Kelnick last couple of years. This is the version. 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.040 This is like the version, But I don't think this 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.240 is like the superstar version. He's just not I just 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.440 don't think it's gonna ever be like the big superstar 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.280 star version. But yeah, version, I mean just saying I 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:03.760 also don't think that. But I think he could be 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.120 a really good player, Like I think he made an 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.920 awesome diving catch last night. So defensively, he's going to 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.240 continuously get out there. The bat is starting to fly 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.760 a little bit. He obviously has you know, really really 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.079 big home or power, and this is one of those 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.000 few instances where it's like the spring is carrying over 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.240 because he did something dramatically different. I think that's the 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.800 big thing. Everyone's like, oh spring, but everyone's like the 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:29.200 spring sucks. But when someone does anything like really dramatically different. 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.840 Here's a perfect example, Go Carr just did this exactly 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.559 Joe Adell, Joey Dell hasn't really done anything different. Everything 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:37.360 is the same. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:37.839 Now. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.400 I don't want to be dismissive of what he's doing 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.600 in the minor leagues because he had six straight games 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.079 with a homer the. 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.080 Striking number and I've seen him be good at the 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.480 minor leagues. It's a good pitching he can he so well. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.040 So that's my point, Like, there's nothing actually changed with 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.240 jo Adell. There was no like new training regimen. There 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.720 wasn't really anything, and it's just great, really great results 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.240 in tripa A. Jared Keelnick did have some big major 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.400 changes as far as who came into his camp and 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.520 the approach that he was taking on baseball, and then 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.680 you're seeing those results. So like, I'm way more interested 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.720 in Jared what Jared Keelnick is doing, even if it's 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.720 like a smaller stint in the majors than I am 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.320 Joe A Dell hitting seven homers in six games in 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:13.840 the minors. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.559 Wonkeye Penguin broke the chat right here. I mean, this 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:20.079 is fantastic. A high Kellennick with a good slutter equals 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:20.680 Joe's perfectly. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.439 I didn't want to say it. That's what I I'm 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:22.839 gonna say. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:24.720 Where that show? Where that show? 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.000 Wankee Penguin, Congratulations, you know you full time for about 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:29.040 twenty four hours. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.719 Good job. And there you go. And by the way, 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:32.960 if you miss it yesterday, here it is again. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:37.800 Look at that. It is San Diego. And and it 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.400 seems wasn't It wasn't Blake snail pitching. It was some 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:41.440 other it was. 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:43.640 It was like Steve Wilson or something we should be 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.200 like ammercials like the Slutters. A name suffered from high Kelenick. 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:55.440 An eighty two mile an hour. That's pretty crazy. Uh oh, fantastic. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.680 What a time to be alive. I love this show. 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.360 All right, let's get on some of the injuries. There's 0:10:59.360 --> 0:10:59.760 a lot of them. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.280 Adam of all his risk fracture will not require surgery, 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.160 so that means an earlier return. But Welsh's still unhappy 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.840 because risk injury is bad same injury, same risk. 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:09.360 Bad. 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.200 This is about as bad as it can get. By 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:12.120 the way, I think. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.640 It's requiring surgery would be worse. 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.880 Well, yeah, I mean there might be a level or 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.600 two more. But it's like also, it could have been like, oh, 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.040 he's gonna get checked out. We don't know, and it 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.080 could have been good and it's like, no. 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.040 There's a fracture. That's being a negative Nancy today, Welsh. 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.760 What's wrong with bad? I mean this is good news. 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.800 I mean it's bad news that it's broken. It's good 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.760 news that doesn't need surgery or pins and things. Tony 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.880 Gonsolin unlikely to join the club's rotation till May now, 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.440 so with the ankle injury, that's taking a little while. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.320 Kyle Wright expected to make his return today against the 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:42.800 Red so that's exciting stuff. 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.480 There. Will keep an eye on how Kyle Wright does. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.839 Starring Marte as we told you yesterday, probably wouldn't be 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.559 in the Lineup's still day to day with that neck issue. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.600 Tim Anderson was removed because of some left knee soreness. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:52.959 So let's on that. 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.560 Oh wow, way, Tim Anderson was removed from a gameway. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.640 He's not gonna play all the games in the season. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:11:59.559 That's crazy. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.000 Woken up the beast. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.640 Here we go. Welsh is awake and ready to go. 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.240 The Rangers put Mitch Garber of the day I L 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:07.600 with the left knees brain. 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.800 Eloy in Menez regressed. 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.360 To taking batting practice on Monday, so that's a good thing. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:14.880 He landed on the i L last week with the 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.840 low grade left hamstring strain. He could come back as 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.840 early as Friday. I just hope they don't push it, 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.600 because that's the last thing any of us need, because 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.520 I feel like this is didn't he come back from 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:26.959 a hamstring injury and push it and then get hurt 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.280 again last year? Like I literally this was. I feel 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.679 like I'm in Groundhog Day. And Hermon Marquez left with 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.880 an arm injury last night too, So I don't know 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.200 if we've got Have we seen an update yet this 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.360 morning on that on the imaging or I haven't seen 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:40.839 anything yet. 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.600 No, I haven't seen anything. They just said like he 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.760 actually said he doesn't think he's going to make his 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:45.240 next start. 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:50.040 Update on Tim Anderson though, just came over out two 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:51.000 to four weeks. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.040 Oh you should have let me guess. I could have 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.600 just said any any number of days and it would 0:12:55.600 --> 0:13:00.960 have looked correct. I am shocked that Tim Anderson is 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.400 going to miss a month of the season. What is that? 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.400 Hey, fun fact here? You know every single year this happens. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:12.280 It's football. It's not going somewhere else with this. 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.600 You're you're right also, But whenever you go into a 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.520 season going this position is really stacked. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.200 This is a really good position, right inevitably becomes the 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:22.080 bane of your existence. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.400 That it's wrong. Like everybody went in going shortstop loaded. 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.960 You don't need to take this guy. That guy. You 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.800 could dig this guy later. That guy there, O'Neil Cruz 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.520 out for four months, so he's basically done. Tim Anderson 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.680 now out for a month. All you have Carl's Korea 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.240 dealing with back issues already. 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.400 Dansby's Dansby's all right, right, is he? 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.400 I don't think so. I don't think Dan has been 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:47.120 playing super well. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.199 But he has been playing well. But I mean it's 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:51.120 the cobs. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.679 Added to your point real quick, and then you get 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.880 to do your point. He's hit, But no, Homer, he's 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:56.240 been all right. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.200 Proceed but wander Franco has been good. I'm just saying, like, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.280 now we'll back on. It's the same thing every year. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:02.839 It's like, oh, you could wait on shore something. You 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.920 know what, Take good players when good players show up. 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.560 That's what the draft is for. Stop overthinking and stop 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.120 working about positions. Okay, just take good players when good 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:10.800 players there. 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.000 Look at Mayor here real quick, by the way, look 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.440 at Mayor pointing out, Oh, Welsh love. This is one 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.720 of those hilarious things where it's like, let's make it 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.960 back to Welsh. Welsh can't have a point. Welsh loves 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.280 Byron Buckson, so somehow is a problem with Tim Anderson. 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.600 Also have a problem with Byron Buckson. I didn't take 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.760 him in the fifty Mayor. You're talking at your ass 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.120 right now because because you are making it about me 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.480 making a completely valid, great point, and then you're trying 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.560 to turn it like, oh, well he likes another guy. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.000 You're being stupid. It's ridiculous. Yes, Byron Buckson is in 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.360 guess what you guys will all do. You will dance 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.760 and you will throw a party when Byron Buckson gets hurt. 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.880 Guess what I'm gonna dance and throw a party when 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.280 Tim Anderson gets hurt because. 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:49.440 It's what he does too. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.240 All these talented players that can never play. 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.360 Wow, you're salty today. I like a salty Welsh. Let's 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.680 ask you a lot. Andrew Heaney passed uh Nolan Ryan 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.120 in the record books and words that I never thought 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.800 I would utter on a show ever, most consecutive strikeouts 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:06.520 in a single. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.240 Game, So there you go. That was fun yesterday. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.120 Ryan had seven on July seventh and nineteen ninety one 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.680 against the then California Angels. And here's another one. The sweeper, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.000 not the slutter, the hottest pitching baseball. And guess what, 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.960 Shoho Tani is now become the King of the sweeper. 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.360 So there you go, everybody. The man can do everything. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.560 He is the greatest thing ever. Also something for fun 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.000 that showed up yesterday is a new celebration for the 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.480 Baltimore Orioles, which if you haven't seen it already, it 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.720 is the funnel. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.680 There, it is there, it is it's the funnel. And 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.960 this is is it Ryan Montcastle? I believe right, because. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.520 That looks like yeah, I think that's I think yeah. 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.920 So this was Mayor's home run call yesterday. We all 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.200 know his undying love for Ryan Mountcastle. I believe this 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.240 picture is on Mike Mayor's vision board. I'm pretty sure I'm. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.600 Gonna be right next to me on his dart board. Yeah, 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.160 by the way, you said counterpoint Buxton stincts. Let me 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.040 ask you this, what is the better home run celebration 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:07.520 the beer pong, the beer funnel or the samurai hat. 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.880 Well, it's a water funnel. It is not a beer funnel. 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.960 They're not chugging beers. I don't know why they're chugging water. 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:14.800 I mean, I don't know if feel about this. When 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.560 I saw the samurai helmet, I kind of like that 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:17.040 when you know. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.560 That's what I'm saying, samurai helmet or the beer or 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:20.800 the funnel. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.800 The water funnel is goofy, and you know somebody's gonna 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.800 choke accidentally and there's gonna be a problem and something 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:26.040 like that. 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:27.680 But they're gonna be out there about two to four 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:28.640 weeks every time. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.600 Every time Ryan moultcastle it's a home run. We're gonna 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.120 get this picture here, Mike Maher, So there you go. 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.800 I can make a lot of jokes about this picture. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:38.160 And this is why you have to watch the show. 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:39.800 If you just listen, you got to watch on the 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.880 YouTube channel because you're. 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.120 Missing some really goo good visual humor. 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.000 The lost right after Moultcastle took a slutter four hundred feet. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.600 So let's take a quick break in the action to 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.560
