Speaker 1: I can't wait to give this Jose Ramirez jersey. Wait

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: at one of our wonderful listeners. It was a good

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: night for home runs. Two guys went yard twice yesterday

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: and both made me smile very very much, but for

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: different reasons. Okay, I guess, okay, I guess it's Kurtz.

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: It's well Nick Kurtz, first of all, because okay, not

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: only did it go yard twice, there was some moonshot

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: one Like, he is hitting the ball hard. He looks

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: like the guy that I kept watching at Triple A.

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the home runs last

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: night or just saw the box score, but I saw

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: the homers and they were spectacular. They were mammoth Nick Kurtz,

27
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: big time power. Now is he gonna play today against

28
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: the lefty? That's the question, Like we're gonna give him

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: a rest. I hate when guys do that. You know,

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: a guy gets hot and all of a sudden you

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: sit him. But Nick Kurtz hitting those home runs, starting

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: to rack up a few more. He's starting to look

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: like he's settling in and patience is being rewarded.

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: So the game works with a lot of these rookies.

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: He doesn't have a hit versus lefties yet. By the way,

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: he has had some at bats, but he does not

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: registered to hit. It'd be probably behoove them, especially if

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: they're committed to not having him in a platoon, like

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: they said that they would let him get some at

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: bats versus lefties. But no, this is the game with prospects.

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: I think there's a bigger question about the ROI where

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: you get this, you know, great young guy and then

43
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: they're awesome and then they kind of pair back down

44
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: and they come back like, what's the level of roy

45
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: you need really for investment? But Kurtz wasn't a pre

46
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: drafted guy. He was a player that you did spend

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: some fab on and things are starting to click. That's

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: all that you've been looking for, and the underlying stuff

49
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: is pretty phenomenal. The strikeouts are still the problem, but

50
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: that thing is cut from you know, into the forties

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: down to it's still thirty five percent. It still sucks,

52
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: but you know he's getting there. He's getting acclimated. It's

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: an incredible ballpark for him to be in. Nick Kurtz.

54
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: My pushback for weeks against all of you, all of you,

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: Joe and all of you has been that we hold

56
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: on and Nick Kurtz is starting to click a little bit.

57
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: So it's nice.

58
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: Also, two home runs, but this isn't the other one

59
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm referencing is logo o hoppy four seventy. Yeah, that

60
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: was a far shot too. Sears was throwing BP yesterday

61
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: in that ballpark. It was a crazy town. Shout out

62
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: to Iron Mike, who just subscribed here on our twitch.

63
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, logan o'happy two homers. The Angels won ten five.

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: Also in that game, Lawrence Butler hitting a home run,

65
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: So maybe, just maybe, you know, getting a little hot here.

66
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully that'll work out too. Also, when I was watching

67
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: a Mets game yesterday, Mets red Sox, which was entertaining

68
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: the time, stressful at others. The Juan Soto at bats,

69
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna make a big deal out of it, because,

70
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: oh mon Soto never strikes out three times. And again

71
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: it's Garrett Crochet. He's one of the best left handed

72
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: pitchers in baseball. Give him a break. And then when

73
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: they went to the bullpend, he hit a ball that

74
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: all night the wind was blowing in, and he hit

75
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: a ball that probably would have been out in a

76
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: lot of places, but it went all the way to

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: dead center in Boston. And Duran hit a ball too

78
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: that just died. It should have been a Grand Slam.

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it didn't get out of that ballpark.

80
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: It died the way the wind was blowing in yesterday.

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: So take things with a grain of salt. Jason Dominguez,

82
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: he took your salt and he threw it over the fence.

83
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: Solo Homer for him wins the game. Ryan Yarborough also

84
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: really good. I did watch some of that game last

85
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: night too, flipping around one run, eight strikeouts. I don't

86
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: know what version of Ryan Yarborough all of a sudden

87
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: has just dropped into the Yankees lap, but it's been

88
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: pretty decent. And I've been, you know, trying to get

89
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: him bounce from this rotation. I still think he's going

90
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: to get bounced from this rotation eventually. But Yarborough, is

91
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: this a guy potentially you want to stream just simply

92
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: based on the fact that he's a Yankee.

93
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: I think if you're in a spot where you know

94
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: it's a really good matchup, I would consider it. But

95
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: my interest in Yarborough's kind of minimal. My interest in

96
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: Dimingez continues to roll. I think back in a very

97
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: I Told you So a moment preseason where I was

98
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: doing this big industry prospect draft and I had taken

99
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: Dimenez at the top. I still doesn't look like phenomenal,

100
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: but it was this Rokie versus Jason Dimingaz situation and

101
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: just haven't had people in the camp with me about

102
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: Jason Dimingez. And you know what, again, things are clicking.

103
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: You Sometimes you bank on that talent skill set and

104
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: you just hope that the player has enough to be

105
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: able to know bounce back and show progression. And that's

106
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: what he's done. Jason Diminga still has an elite fifty

107
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: four percent hard hit rate so far this year. Barrel's

108
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: dipped a little bit, but he's getting the ball in

109
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: the air. He's tripled his lawnch angle, he's hitting the

110
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: ball on that sweet spot better. He's walking more. You

111
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: love to see it, and he's diversifying his ability of

112
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: different pitches to hit and he smacks the crap out

113
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: of the ball. He can run some Jason Dimingez. You know,

114
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 2: we've been a little wishy washy about that. I feel

115
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: like the questions we've got on Dimingez where it's always

116
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: like Domingez or you know, like even Chandler Simpson, Diminga

117
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: has been a little bit dicey. But it's really starting

118
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: to click and you're seeing some of those loud stats

119
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: and Mike quietly walk into like a twenty twenty season

120
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: when it's all done.

121
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: Also yesterday, walking into not one but two home runs.

122
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: My pick from yesterday, Jake Berger.

123
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't realize that.

124
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Smash Burger yesterday. That's right, smash Burger is everywhere. I

125
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: got two of them, so I don't know my I

126
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: up at dipple digits yet. Can we get a get

127
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: a verification now?

128
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: I think was I had eight or seven?

129
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if I was at seven or eight.

130
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: If I was at eight, I'm at ten now and

131
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: I'm coming for you ambout eleven.

132
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: Oh oh, well, surely a couple away from me. I

133
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: cold Stone, cold cold Stone.

134
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: Oh I'm Smashburger right now. All those two home runs

135
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: were so good. Yesterday also so good. Jacob de Gram

136
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: three hits, two runs, one walk, nine strikeouts, and seven innings.

137
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: He got no decision. Unfortunately, the Rangers could not handle

138
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: their business against the Yankees. We talked about the Dominguez

139
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: walk off, but this was exactly what I expected yesterday.

140
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: This is the only one of my couple bets. Unfortunately,

141
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: besides the home run and the d Gram strikeout total

142
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: they'd hit. But this is what you want to see

143
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: out of Jaob Gram. The last couple of starts he's

144
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: really settled in and I'm gonna take the l on

145
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: this one. I was very afraid. I'm still very afraid.

146
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: Every time he goes out and has a start like

147
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: this and looks really good pitching deep into games. That's

148
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: the thing that I think you look for with Jacob deGrom.

149
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: I hope it holds. That's all I hope, because he

150
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: is one of, if not the best bitcher and baseball

151
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: and it's been so unfortunate that we haven't had him

152
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: for about four years now, maybe even five, when you

153
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: really can think twenty nineteen was the last really good

154
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: Jacob de Gram moments, but it's been so difficult to

155
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: think that a guy can miss that much time with

156
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: all the injuries and all the surgeries and all the issues.

157
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: To come back and even find some remnants of himself

158
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: is very encouraging. I'm not holding my breath that it's

159
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: going to last all year, but you have to be

160
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: really impressed with Jacob de Gram has done so far

161
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: in the last couple starts especially.

162
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think maybe you can hold your breath a

163
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: little bit, like you do know the injury lingers out there,

164
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: but you know, I've been speculating on this for a

165
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, and you just you continue to see

166
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: it kind of playing out that. You know, he he

167
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: down ticked everything for about the first month of the season,

168
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: and maybe that was strictly a health situation, you know,

169
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: and his velo is down a little bit. Results were

170
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: a little bit different. We've also seen a very concerted

171
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: change in how he uses a change up. Last year

172
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: he threw it only five percent of the time, you know, sample's,

173
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: of course, but this year he's throwing at nine percent

174
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: of the time, almost ten percent. Let me look if

175
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: there any other years of high usage, Yeah, eight percent,

176
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: eight percent. In twenty twenty we saw sixteen percent. So

177
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: it's kind of getting back to those roots. Vilo is

178
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: up as of recent starts. Change up. It's starting to

179
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: get going, and you know, he's he's lowering barrel rates

180
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: pitched against and he's just not trying to be the

181
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: fifteen strikeout guy every single game.

182
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

183
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: I really do think that this version of him is

184
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: a sustainable version. Now, I don't know if I'm going

185
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: to pay top five sp or anything like that. There's

186
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: an argument that maybe you can sell high on him,

187
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: but I also think there's you know if someone were worried,

188
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 2: like I would be comfortable maybe buying in on him

189
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: for the rest of this season that he can he

190
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: actually legitimately might put up like one hundred and fifty

191
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: innings at this point. With how how this is working?

192
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: Well, remember they talked about an Ils did for him

193
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: some point in a year, just to give him a breather. Yeah.

194
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: I recall Pedro Martinez towards the end too, when he

195
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: wasn't the guy finding a different version of himself as

196
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: a pitcher. I don't think with the velocity this all

197
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: last night that that's quite where we're at. But Pedro

198
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: had some really successful years towards the end there with

199
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: the Mets, when he wasn't quite the dominant guy of

200
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine anymore. Lucissero's I want to shout out

201
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: because they graduated today with a master So congratulations. That

202
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: is how you could get a master's degree and still

203
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: be here every single day watching this show and it

204
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: not make you dumber. I don't know, I don't know

205
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: how that works, but congratulations. That is really something FORGID.

206
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: It's like graduation any time, So congratulations, Yes, everybody.

207
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to a graduation right after this show. I'm

208
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: going to one. But so everybody congratulate Lucissero's in the

209
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: chat though, that's a great thing. Picked too, Augustin, Jason,

210
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: josh Lo, Nick Kurtz. I guess, just in a vacuum,

211
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: who do you want rest of season? I don't want

212
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: to let go of Kurtz. I think it's Kurtz and

213
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Domingez or the guys that I want. How about you?

214
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: I think it's low and Dimingez, but like I don't

215
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: know how I have catchers might make it important? About Agostin,

216
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: I think those are all really close. Unfortunately at that list,

217
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: Kurtz might actually be at the bottom for me, or

218
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 2: he is not might but he.

219
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: Is game OVA. Who do I drop when Akooney is activated?

220
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Viento's Doyle or Augustin? I think Doyle boy, He's he

221
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: dropped off. What an incredible drop off year over year.

222
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: Doyle was so solid last year, and I know people

223
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: were saying was gonna regress, but man, Welsh, that guy's

224
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: just falling off a map compared to what he did

225
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: last year. And last year people were saying, oh, it's

226
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: not gonna last, not gonna last, and he kept going

227
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: in the second half. This year has been nothing close.

228
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: I think it's Doyle.

229
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: I want to look to Uh. By the way, I'll

230
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: be very self deprecating. I'm doing a little too much

231
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: of like I was right. So well, we'll knock myself

232
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: never enough pages. I definitely will knock myself down a

233
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: couple pages. But I have to have been one of

234
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: the lowest on Brenton Doyle. Yeah, he was absolutely straight

235
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: fade for me into the season. He had huge uh

236
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: he was hit like two hundred on the road, I

237
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: think three hundred at home. He had HUGEZ didn't buy

238
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: the crazy big counting stats. I say all of this

239
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: in that like putting him at high high points of

240
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: the lineup. He's got four homers, five stolen bases. He

241
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: could still be a twenty twenty guy this year and

242
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: be relatively ish successful. But it's pretty bad.

243
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: It is.

244
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: The results are bad. The stuff though, I will throw

245
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: out he might borderline by right now because he's got

246
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: a two fifty four expected batting average, thirteen percent barrel rate.

247
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: He's not striking out anymore. The profile looks this just

248
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: looks very similar and guess what, shocker, he's underperforming against

249
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: four seam fastballs. That is something that tends to bounce

250
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 2: back for hitters that have any real juice to them.

251
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: So maybe he's a little bit of a buy. But

252
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: on that list, I think he would be the guy

253
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: I would cut.

254
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: Angel theory has a question, who could I get for Eavaldi?

255
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: Sell high head to head? Well, I don't think you're

256
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: so on high. I've ald he's been really good the

257
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: last couple of years. I would think the return for

258
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: him you're not gonna get like super elite. Could you

259
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: get a James Wood for him? Who is like kind

260
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: of that tiered in that next grouping? Like I'm just

261
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: looking at names like Saya, Suzuki, James Wood.

262
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: I think I think player is too low. I think

263
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: James Wood might be too high.

264
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: So it's Goldilocks.

265
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to find that just perfectly.

266
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: I want to play it just right back in my trade.

267
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: Like I actually am. I'm kind of with the Selish

268
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: thing on selling Evaldi high, but I don't know like

269
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: it should get you.

270
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: What about Bregman? How about Bregman? Is that the one

271
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: I can give you?

272
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 2: I would smash take?

273
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I have always really good.

274
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: He's been amazing, But like, I don't know if I

275
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: buy the k percentage increase, sticking three percent walk rate,

276
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: that's I mean, I guess he has had some four percent.

277
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

278
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: I don't I had last year in a lot of leagues. Man,

279
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: he is just he's quietly really good and just nobody

280
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: seems to care because all the hype is always around

281
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: the other bigger names in that rotation. It was Sureser

282
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: for a while, and now as the GRAM everyone's talking

283
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: about nobody talks about Evaldi. Kevin Gossman, let's talk about him.

284
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this. I've been laying in the weeds.

285
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: No runs, nine strikeouts, no walk seven innings. Let's go

286
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: against the Padres too. Take that, Michael Kelly. Uh, how

287
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: about that performance from Kevin Gossman. Tommy Edmund I even

288
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: seen him in a long time. I know he's been hurt,

289
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: so hopefully he comes back, because right now, Kevin Gosman,

290
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: I think with this performance, it's kind of leapt back

291
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: into the lead in that big one.

292
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe, I mean, I don't remember, like how we

293
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: judge it.

294
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: By the way, I know it's hard because Edmond's not

295
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: playing so I.

296
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: Gotta go backwards for just one second. Todd and the

297
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: chat mentioned Eovaldi as far as first halves go, and

298
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: this is interesting. He has been a first half guy

299
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 2: for years two nine to seven pre All Star era

300
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: last year four eight one in the second half first

301
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: half two eight three. In twenty twenty three second half

302
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: seven point one eight oh twenty twenty two three point

303
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: three four in the first half second half four point

304
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: nine to one. So that is years upon years of

305
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: over a run differentials first and second half. Sometimes you

306
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: have first and second half players. But yes, oh Joe,

307
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: it was all right, Gosman, Tommy had.

308
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: That was pretty good last night. Padres would say, Kevin

309
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: Gosman was pretty good. I just I just want the

310
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: starting pitcher, not the utility infielder that had a good

311
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: month against the team that he always crushes, which was

312
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: the Cubs. Fabby Davis Junior says more Goldilocks or Joe

313
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: Jodlock's voice, Do we approve that message? Or now one voice,

314
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: the one that I just did like this? Oh goodness, gracious.

315
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: It's a grave voice.

316
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: So you like that, all right? Videos, Yeah you think so?

317
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: Six innings struck out six for Gavin Williams yesterday. Good

318
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: to see him starting to get right. Hunter Brown got

319
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: wrong though. Five runs, seven hits, five innings. It's funny.

320
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: The last time he struggled was also in a day game.

321
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: I know because I was on TV hosting In Game

322
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: Live at the time for Sports Grid and we were

323
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: watching a Hunter Brown game and he kind of rallied

324
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: that first inning. He was really rough against the White Sox.

325
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Maybe Hunter Brown's just not a day game pitcher. I

326
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: don't know, but we can look those are the only

327
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to see the splits on that because this

328
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: was very Hunter Brown. Like, I am not concerned in

329
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: the least about this performance. It was against the Rays,

330
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: not a great offense. So I understand why people are

331
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: puzzled right now. We're all puzzled, but I will say,

332
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: like that's, you know, it's it's not something I'm gonna

333
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: get concerned about necessarily.

334
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: There is a big differential. But the day games he's

335
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: still a great pitcher. So he has a point eight

336
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: three ERA in night games right now, so there's five

337
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: starts at night ridiculous, point seven to seven whip point

338
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: eight three ERA day games, he's got a point or

339
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: he's got a one point zero seven whip three and

340
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: one record but a three four one ERA, so it's

341
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: over two runs differential. But that's still a pretty great

342
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: pitcher that he is in the day. So I'm not

343
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: sure if there's a I mean, there's kind of a

344
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: correlation there for sure, But you know that that was

345
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: a I don't know if that was like the tough,

346
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: tough matchup that you're staring at. But he's gonna regress

347
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: a little bit, like he's expected. He already told us

348
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: that story. He's still pretty a lead across the board. Well,

349
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: you're more worried about is if they start to stack

350
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: and he starts to look average, and you know he's

351
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: not getting away with maybe some of the stuff he

352
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: was getting away with earlier in the year. That would

353
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: be what we're watching. He's also he I don't think

354
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: I realized this. He's a pretty high percentage with fastball guy,

355
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: and you don't see I mean, I guess you got

356
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: to look at k percentage, but yeah, she's for k

357
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: percentage from his forcing fastball. That's not something we see

358
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: a ton of. You usually see forcing set up a

359
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: lot of other stuff. So that's all.

360
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: A guy who knows how to locate a fastball.

361
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: Do it feels sticky, but he's done.

362
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: Sticky if you know how to locate it. I think

363
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Everybody throws a hundred. They just throw

364
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: it straight. They can't locate it. They can't change the

365
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: eye angle of the of the hitter. Todd also says

366
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: that my Jodylock's voice is across between Jackson Holiday with

367
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: a bad British accent. I would agree. I think that's

368
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: exactly what I was going for. Nailed it. Also a

369
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: Christian Yelich. We talked about him yesterday in the Q

370
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: and A. We have big discussions, so I don't want

371
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: to go too much into it. Go back and watch

372
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: a Q and A. It's on the YouTube channel Fantasy

373
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: Rose MLB. So Yelich was somebody we talked about off

374
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: air yesterday after we recorded the Waiver Wire show, also

375
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: available on demand on the YouTube channel. Coincidentally, I think not,

376
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: and then we got into a bigger discussion about Yelich.

377
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: The counting stats are still there, the home runs, the

378
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: stolen bases, the batting average hasn't been He grounded out

379
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 1: four times and struck out yesterday against the Orioles. He

380
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: has a sixty four percent ground ball rate. Well just

381
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: thought that was a little high of a number there,

382
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent strikeout rate, and it's just not been

383
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: good for Yelich. My concern with Yelich and people say,

384
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: well do you buy what do you do a player

385
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: who was chronic back issues is just not when I

386
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: want to make investments in. That's it. It's as simple

387
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: as that for me.

388
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw somebody put I'd mentioned this on the

389
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: live stream, and then I think it was this morning

390
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: someone mentioned a it's one of the worst ground ball rates.

391
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: But he also the new stat on a baseball savant

392
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: with attack angle, because like you'll see, some of these

393
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: players like Jacob Wilson and stuff have these really really

394
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: low attack angles, which is just letting the ball travel

395
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: more and more and more and not not being afraid

396
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: to put it in the ground. But Yelich isn't doing that.

397
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeliwi has like league prototypical attack angle of like a

398
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: ten degree, So that means he's getting on the ball

399
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 2: at the proper time, which in theory would not increase

400
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: ground balls like crazy. That would be as if he

401
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 2: lost his attack angle. So it's really odd, and to me,

402
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if that's something that continue. I mean,

403
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: maybe you just become bad and it doesn't matter. But

404
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: there's still and that would be like his barrel rate

405
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: really sucks and stuff like that. But there's some stuff

406
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: that I look at that don't seem like they can stick, Like,

407
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: you know, a negative launch angle. He has a negative

408
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: launch angle right now. That's crazy. So I'm not really

409
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: sure where it's coming from, you know, seems to be

410
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 2: in his head or something like that. I'd love to

411
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 2: just see some data that's like, oh, hey, look, his

412
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: attack angle is usually like ten degrees. It's down at four,

413
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: so he's super behind and that's why he's just beating

414
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: everything into the ground. Kind of don't know, he's just

415
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: hitting a bunch of ground balls, making bad decisions. Maybe

416
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: it's his back, who knows. I tend to slightly be

417
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: a bye on him still, but I understand why people

418
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: are just getting out of the business because you can't

419
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 2: be successful with that many ground balls.

420
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: Now, I buy Cheerio, but I'm not going to buy Yellish.

421
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at with those guys. By the way,

422
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: attack angle, you can find this fall on CBS nine

423
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: pm Eastern, followed by max Velocity at ten. Definitely part

424
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: of our extreme Tuesday nights.

425
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: That's my new name. By the way, Joe people weren't

426
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: here yesterday. I'm all max Velocity.

427
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: There you go. Shout out to Jeff two. We'll see

428
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: if we can get on the show tomorrow. He had

429
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: a graphic MAUP for max Velocity. He tried to get

430
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: it to look like an adult film star, but AI

431
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: has restrictions on it, which is a shame. But at

432
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: least we know you're adult film star. Name now Joster

433
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: Damas everybody's favorite now Sunday on Sports Career, were during

434
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: a two hour look back at the first fifty games

435
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: of the season Sunday morning. So go find sports Grid

436
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: watch me on there eight to ten because there's a

437
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 1: really fun thing. And as I was going through all

438
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: the stats, trying to pull up the you know, first fifty,

439
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, trying to look back at what's going on,

440
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: look ahead a little bit, I found one of our friends,

441
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: Michael Harris first fifty game stats, and I just figured

442
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: I would throw him out here to twenty four batting average.

443
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: He has three whole runs, all three of them really exciting.

444
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: I scored twelve whole runs twenty four RBI Michael Harris overrated.

445
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 2: You said that I thought there was more that you're

446
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: gonna get going.

447
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: I say it like a statement. I'm saying like a

448
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: question to you because I want to know if you're

449
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: ready to make the statement.

450
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 2: With me on the overrated. Yeah, I mean, I guess

451
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: I'm willing to kind of do that. Like he's stacked

452
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: a couple of years of like he's not quite a

453
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty guy kind of is. His average continues to dip,

454
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: but I'll say this, I still like he's going to

455
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: bounce back. I mean, there might be kind of some

456
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: split things. I'm gonna look here as far as first

457
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 2: and second half's go over the last couple of years,

458
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 2: he was a second half guy last year twenty twenty

459
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: three massive second half guy as well, really needs to

460
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: get going. His expected batting average currently is forty points higher.

461
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: He's striking out less. He's just not making as same

462
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: quality of contact. I want to look into some other things.

463
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: But maybe you also have Michael Harris starting to accept

464
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: to be like a different player. He dramatically dropped his

465
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: hard hit rate. And what I mean by that is just,

466
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 2: you know, be more of a contact hitter. We see

467
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: a couple of guys like this that they're going to

468
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: stop trying to, you know, get the ball in the

469
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: air like crazy. You would love to see him do

470
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: what C. J. Abrams does and just say, oh, like,

471
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: I'm not a great barrel guy, but I get the

472
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: ball in the.

473
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: Air like sixteen handles.

474
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess, yeah.

475
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: Contact, give up some power to hit the baseball and

476
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: maybe some home runs will come eventually.

477
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's underperforming against every single pitch type right now,

478
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 2: while having the highest poll rate of his career and

479
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: expected batting average is better. I think Michael Harris is

480
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 2: going to bounce back. Actually might be a pretty sweet

481
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: really by low. When you get the jokes of the

482
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: world out there that hate hate hate.

483
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: I just call it like I see it. To me,

484
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: he's a very overrated player, and he is a nice player.

485
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: His ADP was incredibly overblown going into this season.

486
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: Again that I agree with his looks pretty stupid right now.

487
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: Oh, it's ridiculous. Right now, here's a ridiculous question from

488
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: life or Death. Who's an ideal picture that could trade

489
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: Strider for No, you don't don't trade Strider. This is

490
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: the worst time. You know, he has bad record against

491
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: the NATS. I don't want to trade Spencer Strider. I

492
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: just don't want to do it. Well, sh I don't

493
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: bet that.

494
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 2: I actually I just saw the name that I would

495
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: maybe look at. I think trading like picture for picture

496
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: is really tough because you know that person like you

497
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 2: both have to pretend you're not convincing yourselves that you're

498
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: selling off of this picture and that this guy is

499
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: trying to find it.

500
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: Seems like a really toxic relationship.

501
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: I think trade, I think specifically pitcher for pitcher is

502
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: a very toxic way to trade. What I would say,

503
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: like Christopher Sanchez is someone that jumped to my mind.

504
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: I would want Sanchez plus for Strider. Yeah, mos Sanchez

505
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 2: a lot, but I wouldn't I wouldn't really look to

506
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 2: trade Strider.

507
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Okay, here's a question. Would you trade? We got fun

508
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: fun stats here, Hazus Lozardo, who's pitched incredible baseball this year?

509
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: Would you who do you want rest of season? Strider

510
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: or Lozardo?

511
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: I'll take Strider.

512
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: Okay, here's fun facts. Since Era become an official stat

513
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: in both leagues. In nineteen thirteen, two major League baseball

514
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: left handed pitchers have gone undefeated with a sub to

515
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: Era ten plus k per nine over the first ten

516
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: starts of a season. One is Jesu's Lozardo this year.

517
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: The other one Randy Johnson in nineteen ninety five. That's it.

518
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: Lozardo's out of his mind right now. Another fun fact,

519
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: because again researching I gains a fun facts here. Logan

520
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: Henderson of the Brewers is the only major League baseball

521
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: pitcher in the modern era to strike out seven plus

522
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: batters and earn the win in each of his first

523
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: three career appearances. That guy's not going anywhere, folks, He's

524
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: going no place. Transactions. Jean Segura announced his retirement. Boy,

525
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: people are just retiring left and right. Colton Wong, Jean Sigura,

526
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: middle infielders of the past.

527
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: Just could Tucker by the way. I don't know if

528
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 2: anyone saw this. Cole Tucker, who is married to Vanessa Hutchins.

529
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been doing radio for a while.

530
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: Yeah it with big beautiful hair. He's one of the

531
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 2: local guy out here. I had a friend who's in

532
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: a band with him, Like he's great Cold Tucker is

533
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 2: one of the best human beings on the planet, and

534
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: he's retiring from baseball, but he wants to try to

535
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: continue in being coaching or you know, I mean, I

536
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 2: guess he's already doing some media, but I think it's

537
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: like some version of coaching or working at some hitting

538
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: complex or something like that.

539
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll see, we should get him on the show.

540
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: Let's get him on the show next year.

541
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: Probably obtainable, to be honest with you. Jean Sagira, by

542
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 2: the way, one the Dinebacks don't pull off a lot

543
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: of great trades. Usually they are, you know, selling Paul

544
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: Goldchmith for nothing, but boy, what a coop, just trading

545
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: the epitome of selling high like a fantasy wood off

546
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 2: of Jean Segura is in incredible season with the Diamondbacks.

547
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: That's his career marker. They got could tell Marty for him,

548
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: and they just shipped him right out. Got to tell Marte.

549
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: But I kind of like Geene Cigarett at least for

550
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: that one year with the Diamondbacks, which was otherworldly. But

551
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: it was sad to see him go.

552
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Okay, looky, Tom Kate Horton one run five and a

553
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: third innings only three strikeouts, though any input here on

554
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: the Kate Horton start from yesterday. Walsh, Yeah, I.

555
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: Think it's I think things are moving in a positive

556
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: direction for him. I want the strikeouts to tick back up,

557
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: but this is why we wanted them.

558
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: It was almost a very like corporate answer. Things are

559
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: moving right now in directions we're we're looking at the

560
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: headwinds and the tailwinds. We're trying to.

561
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 2: It definitely was like I was still like I was

562
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: looking at something. I was still in a thing. And

563
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 2: then he threw it, and I was like, wait, who

564
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: are we talking about? Yes, moving great, projections are looking solid,

565
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: and I think we're going to hit our monthly our

566
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: monthly quota. We're good.

567
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: Andrew Painter seven strikeouts, two runs, one four innings for

568
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: Triple A Lehigh Valley, also running Mauricio two for two

569
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: with another home run to run Homer for him and

570
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: his steel. I gotta say this, Wesh. Brett Batty looked

571
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: really sharp yesterday. He looked like he's starting to settle

572
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: in a little bit and play like Brett Batty in

573
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: the minor leagues. That's the first time last night I'd

574
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: seen that version of Batty. It's only one game. I

575
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: don't want to take too much out of it. But

576
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: Vanto's better get his craft together because Mauricio is hitting

577
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: Baty's starting to look comfortable. Louis Angelekunya is not going anywhere,

578
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: like I said, because he's a fiery guy. He's a

579
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: good guy to have on a team. He's out, he's

580
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: in like Juan Soto's face, like firing him up and

581
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: like he's just that kind of guy. You need those

582
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: guys on teams, you do. Vando's better figured out and

583
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: soon because he's in the weird spot right now. Better

584
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: fix it, Better fix it. Well, we're making adjustments. We've

585
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: we've looked at the data and we're going to do

586
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: our best to move forward here.

587
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: We have a quarterly plan where we are going to

588
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: make organizational adjustments where things are going to hit that

589
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: ROI per acted number. Yes, I've given presentations, by the way,

590
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: like people don't. I used to be in a very

591
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: corporate world, and I'm prepared when I am prepared on presentation.

592
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: Welsh is quite impressive.

593
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: It's true. I've seen it. It's very impressive. CJ. Kyphis.

594
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: So we just talked about a couple of days ago.

595
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: We got to talk about again two before with a

596
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: walk of double, two run homer at Triple A. It's

597
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: going to be Kyph's time sooner than later. I'm just saying, Welsh,

598
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, let's get to the three up and

599
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 1: three down Dustin May, eight strikeouts and six innings, Corbyn

600
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: Burns has been back on track. Remember he had that

601
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: skipped start and give him a little bit of a respite.

602
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: Things have been much better since. Three runs over seven innings,

603
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: eight strikeouts and Tyler McGill four hits, one run, one walk,

604
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: career high ten strikeouts. Tyler was terrific last night. He

605
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: was throwing a heavy fast ball yesterday. Man, it was

606
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: crazy to watch. Unfortunately, he got into some trouble there

607
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: and the defense did not help him out. One of

608
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: the defensive problems was his that he went to go

609
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: try to field to go ground balls and to let

610
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: the catcher get it, and he threw it to the outfield.

611
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: But McGill looked really sharp. And that's been a guy

612
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: whose strikeout rate has been higher this year than any

613
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: other year. And we're starting to wonder, you know this

614
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: mitched pitching factory we talk about and you know, we

615
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: keep talking about it because they keep having outings like.

616
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: This pitching factory. Yeah. Man, they've definitely turned out like

617
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: some dudes who work scrap pile. I'll give them credit

618
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: for that. For Griffin Canning and Tyler McGill at thirty

619
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: one percent k percentage. For McGill, he still walks way

620
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 2: too many, but he is more than serviceable to be

621
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: at the middle of her rotation. And Gorman Burns I

622
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: had him plus I just want to point out plus

623
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: one for five and a half strikeouts yesterday. I played

624
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: him att because those changes are real. That rest he

625
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: was able to rebounce back. He's got his VLO back.

626
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: And interesting thing you know, Ino Sarahs from the Athletic

627
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: talk to him and he was very insightful about because

628
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: we designated as a cutter the main fastball that he throws.

629
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: But he says in this video with you know that

630
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: he's just like, listen, I'm actually going more for seam.

631
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: I have for sem action. I'm throwing it like a

632
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: for seam. There's natural cut to it. And he says,

633
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: when I get in trouble is when I start to

634
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: force the cut and he's like, I'm trying to not

635
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: do that. It's really interesting take really interesting video for

636
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: a guy that I said two and a half weeks

637
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: ago i've been actually at the beginning of the season,

638
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: said bye because and I had nothing for you. I

639
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: had no good reasoning for you, except that I believe

640
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: he will bounce back. And then we started seeing some

641
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 2: actionable items and we're seeing some data that proves it

642
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: over the last three starts. Hopefully you did very interesting

643
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: with the Corbyn burns and he much he very much

644
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: looks like the part of that picture, that great version

645
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: of that picture from last year.

646
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,560

651
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,200

Speaker 1: seven runs, six earned. I don't know, Carson Palmquist. It

653
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,640

00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: from Tennessee.

661
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: Yes, he enjoys Minecraft and he's runner. Yeah. Logan Web

662
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: six runs. Of course. Of course, this is the one

663
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: bad start Logan Web has had because I made it

664
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: the bet of the day yesterday. Just awful. He had

665
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: an e RA under one in all four of his

666
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: home starts before this. Just brutal.

667
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: I didn't even want to talk about it.

668
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: So the betting has been rough this year. It's just

669
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: it just has. But we're up to eleven homers. I

670
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: don't know what's what's what do you have to have

671
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: to get the board? Well, we'll see, we'll see in this.

672
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: Sex fourteen fifteen.

673
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Let's get to the injuries. Ronald Akoia one for four

674
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: with a walk, so getting closer on him. Santander was

675
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: removed yesterday. He's been dealing with a hip injury, but

676
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: he was removed yesterday later in the game. I think

677
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: it was just precautionary because they were up by two

678
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns in that game. I think by the time he

679
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: came out, so not so bad. Aaron Savali, Up, am

680
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: I back?

681
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're back. I had silent and then I looked

682
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: at the screen and you were like this, You were like.

683
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: Got fuzzy. Yeah, okay, Aaron Savali, I almost forgot. He

684
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: was in the system for the Brewers Minor League REEP

685
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: start for him in Triple A. Cutter Crawford, He's gonna

686
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: face hitters today, Tanner Hawk on Friday. He's going to

687
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: resume Throe and Rome Gonzalez with that quad is going

688
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: to be out longer than anticipated. I guess he had

689
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: a setback. Mike Trout is running at eighty percent. I

690
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: don't know how you gauge that, but apparently not eighty one,

691
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: not seventy nine eighty percent.

692
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: We I would love this. I'm asking for too much here.

693
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: I want what is the game on the prices right

694
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: the yodeler where the guy's going up there. I want

695
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: that with Mike Trout's face on it, and it's just

696
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: I can't remember what that's called, but that's that should

697
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: be our injury tracker for Mike Trout getting back in

698
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: and he's just his hangers.

699
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: Cliff Half hanger.

700
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, exact.

701
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: Yoda, And it was as a kid, you'd love because

702
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: it's it's the building of the drama. As it gets

703
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: higher and higher up, the thing is it going to

704
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: fall off? And the best he stops right at that peak,

705
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: like one or two little notches away.

706
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: Dude. Peak growing up in like the late nineties and

707
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: early two thousands was being sick, not having to go

708
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: to school or faking sick, sitting at home at like

709
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: nine in the morning and watching Prices right and watching

710
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: planko plank in the yodeler, and it just that was.

711
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: Just yeah, that was the best, solid, very solid hat

712
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: doubt about that. Next up, we have a Jonah Him

713
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: who came out yesterday with a hand injury. They said

714
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: it was a nerve issue, So more to come on that.

715
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Glass now is gonna throw a bullpensession Friday. Tario

716
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: Strada has begun his rehab assignment, so look for him

717
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: if you need some help at second base. He's probably

718
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: floating around waiver wires. We were excited about him going

719
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: into the season and then injury struck that wrist issue. Unfortunately,

720
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Woodroft four shutout innings in his five hundred and

721
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: seventy first rehab start of twenty twenty five, so we'll

722
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: see if he's ready for another three hundred more. Dl Hall. Also,

723
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: because the Brewsers have all these pictures and re Brewers

724
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: have the greatest triple a rotation of all time, dal

725
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: Hall three more shoutout innings for him and Verlander headed

726
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: to the il with the pectoral discomfort that we discussed yesterday.

727
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,959
Speaker 1: So Welsh, any of these injuries stick out more than

728
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: another one to you.

729
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: The jonah Haeimwan I was watching live and the announcer

730
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: immediately I want to say, maybe he didn't have his

731
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: glove on or something, And as soon as it hit

732
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: he was like, Ooh, that's gonna be really bad. The

733
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: vibration you get on the hand, he's gonna be feeling that.

734
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: And then for the next like five minutes they kept

735
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: kind of going back. They're like, yeah, he's favoring he's

736
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: favoring it, and then they took him out. So there

737
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: might be something more beyond that. I'd be a little

738
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: bit worried about, but thyro Estrado would be someone I

739
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: would go and pick up right now if he's available.

740
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 2: And then got just kicked to the wire. Just remember

741
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 2: from that, you know, there's the ballpark perspective, but also

742
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: there's some loud potential counting stats out of him batting

743
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 2: averages there, and they've been talking about moving off of

744
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 2: guys like Ryan McMahon trades and stuff. Either way, there's

745
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: gonna be playing time for Thyrostrata. So I would go

746
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: and pick him up, especially with that rehab assignment, assuming

747
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: you might need a little bit longer, which I don't

748
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: think they should do, but I would pick him up

749
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: assuming that like midnext week is a possibility, if not

750
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 2: the following week.

751
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: The other thing, when I was homesick after a price

752
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: is right, I used to have a VHS tape They

753
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: did like a marathon of like the Baseball Bunch, And

754
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: again I don't know if you know what this show is,

755
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: Johnny Bench, the Baseball Bunch. It was these kids and

756
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: Johnny Bench. It was like the early eighties, and every

757
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: show it was like a half hour little baseball show.

758
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: And they would it was the San Diego Chicken, Johnny

760
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: receiver and Pete Rose like all these like stars would

761
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: be on there and they would come on and do

762
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: baseball stuff with them. It was like a little baseball

763
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: comedy instruction show. The Baseball bunch.

764
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: Was do that with max velocity, Max Max max velocity

765
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 2: and friends. I'll do a modern version of that, all right.

766
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: So let's get this one from a DJ. I picked

767
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: up Narvares and Baldwin when we found out the controls

768
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: at a fracture. Finger don't have room to keep them both,

769
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: so Navarrees or Baldwin. Rest of season.

770
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: Picked up Baldwin. I'll go with Baldwin.

771
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Baldwin's been hot. It's kind of hard not to

772
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: go with Baldwin at this point in time. All right, Welsh,

773
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: it's that time again. It's time for the Best Bets

774
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: of Thursday with Joey P and Welsh.

775
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: Frozen Joe, what a beautiful Your bets were a little

776
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 2: frozen yesterday, Joe. I believe mine were pretty solid. I

777
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 2: was two and zero with one push, so I will

778
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 2: take that Joe's back. Let's hear what you got. Oh,

779
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: you're living on the dangerous side.

780
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why Ranger Suarez over a five

781
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: and a half strikeouts. He's not a big strikeout as

782
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: they won as one eight team, but it's the Rockies

783
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: and they make everybody look like Sandy Kofax Raphfield Devers.

784
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: Let's go for the RBI plus one fifty five. He's

785
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: springing a good bat right now. And Marcelo Zuna in

786
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: a good matchup tonight for the Atlanta Braves. Let's go

787
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: for RBI for him as well, plus one point twenty Welsh,

788
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: what do you have for the people?

789
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 2: I got a total base fest that we're going to

790
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: rock in today. We got some early games, we got

791
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 2: some really tight lines, some really tight first fives that

792
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: we're going to jump into the total base market with

793
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 2: some win pushing some of these games out there. We're

794
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 2: going to start it off with Kerry Carpenter over one

795
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: and a half total bases plus one fifteen against Ridings.

796
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 2: He's always money, I believe you know. It's really low

797
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 2: home run markers as well, so I love Kerry Carpenter.

798
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: This is probably one of the best. This reminds me

799
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: of yesterday's Corbyn Burns where I played it at plus

800
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 2: one forty or one fifty for five and a half

801
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: strikeouts and it hit James Wood over one point five

802
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 2: total bases at plus one fifty. I very much like

803
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 2: this matchup, really really good marker for him. And we're

804
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: gonna go back to Gunner who Gunner didn't give me

805
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: the homer the other day, but he did give me

806
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 2: the actual bases, So we are gonna rock over one

807
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 2: and a half total bases on Gunner Henderson, every single

808
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 2: one of these app plus money. Let's play them ount

809
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: and let's get on base with Carpenter, Wood and Gunner.

810
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,720

828
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,200
