WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off September 13th, 2022 (Ep. 594) 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.840 Leading off starts right now. And look at that pretty 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.400 face stinting right next to me, sitting right next to me, 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.840 actually not even remotely close to me, maybe a thousand 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.440 months or it is Scott Bogman joining me today. I'm 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.920 Chris Welsh. It is leading off because the Bubbs is 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.360 without power. Bubba had sent a frantic text this morning. 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.159 I don't think there's power, and I usually could have 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.680 done this alone though I don't have an overlay, so 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.000 I would have been standing here naked the whole world 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.320 and I just couldn't have that. So Bogman in the house. 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:45.199 So what's up about it? 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:46.280 You did that all wrong. 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:51.639 You have to be now pinch hitting for Scott Boman, 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:58.120 you know, one of those yeah, Bom bom Scott uh yeah. 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.080 Happy to be here, Happy to help out Bubbo when 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.200 he needs it. And if my voice stays with us, 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:05.080 then I'll be good to go. 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.640 So let's rock and roll. Let's talk some baseball. 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:09.080 There we go. It's been a little bit since we 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.800 had Bogmin on here. The Bogman has not been not 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.360 talking about baseball. Of course, over at the end of 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.560 this League Fantasy Baseball podcast, we've been doing that but 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.880 Bogman has been all over the betting pros halftime last 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.280 night on Monday Night football on the college side, doing football, 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.200 every little bit of football everything. So glad to have 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.920 you here, Betty, and glad to talk about Mike Trout 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.840 home run his seventh straight game on Monday in a 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.160 loss to the Guardians. Zough, did you know that they 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.120 are three and four during this time where Mike Trout 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.080 has been hitting all of these homers. Will tell you 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.640 a stat a little bit here, in just a tiny bit, 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.640 but Mike Trout's seven straight games with a home run 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:52.120 absolutely helping everybody in their fantasy push and their playoff push. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:53.800 Really an unbelievable stretch. 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.040 Yeah, I mean it has been really good. Like you said, 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.200 can never help the Angels. I mean, I didn't know 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:01.880 that they were three and four in a seven game 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.720 homer streak. But it's also maybe the least surprising stat 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.960 of the year because the Angels get these great players 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.640 and just cannot win games. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:12.920 It literally is. 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:14.920 You and Walkee at the same time you said that, 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.640 and Walkee in the chat said it is literally the 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:18.560 most Angels thing. 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:19.480 It is. 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.880 It is they can't figure it out. They need to 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.360 sell the team. They need a new strategy. They can't 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.000 just be like, hey, let's pay for the stars and 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.680 get no one else around them to help at all whatsoever. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.040 So you know, it's actually amazing. They're like the only 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.880 team that money can't buy a win. Like for whatever reason, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.600 they just keep throwing more money and more money, and 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.280 it gets worse. The situation just gets worse every time. 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.560 They really should just yeah, they should dump all the 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.440 payroll and just see what happens. You don't think it 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:47.960 could be that much worse. 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.880 I mean, as soon as they signed Josh Hamilton, they 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.760 should have been like, we need to re evaluate everything. 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.000 They signed Hamilton, they signed pool holes, they gave Rendon 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.360 a bunch of money. The only two players that have 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.320 worked out for them are Trout and o Tani. Nobody 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.480 else has really worked out, so you know, Jared Walsh, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.360 I guess was okay for a little bit, but yeah, 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.960 I know for a minute. But like what else has 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.200 been going on there, It's just been a disaster. So 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.480 they definitely need they need to suffer for a little 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.520 bit to move everything back up. Same thing the Padres 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.880 have done, same thing the Astros have done. Can get 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.160 stuck in that for a little while, Baltimore. But you 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.360 know it's it's you have a better shot of winning 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.440 more games if you sink to the bottom and then 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:36.600 let yourself flow back up. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.680 So a fun fact to attach to this to I 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.760 believe tonight Trout will be going for this record because 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.080 he needs one more to tie Dale Long, Don Mattingly 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.520 and Ken Griffy Junior for the major league record of 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.080 consecutive homers in a game. He's just a second Righty 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.520 by the way to homer in seven straight games, joining 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.800 Kevin Minch. So if he gets this tonight, he will 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.120 join He will Griffy, he will join it. Would you be? 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.160 I'm gonna take a look. I haven't looked at this yet. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.240 What do you think the draft? I'm gonna just do 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.080 DraftKings because it's like the one I tend to go 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.600 to a little bit. What do you think the home 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.760 run prop is tonight for Mike Trout? 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:21.040 Let me see, uh minus one fifty is seven straight games. 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.200 But isn't there a part of you that like he's 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.800 hitting it's gotta be plus still right? I want to 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.680 don't you wish you could bet against him hitting a homer? Tonight, 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:29.400 so let's see. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:33.600 No, no, you, I don't want to know what do you? 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.679 What do you? Is this? Uh? Evil wells? Share what's happening? 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:37.960 Like? 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:39.960 So you want to bet against him? 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.400 I totally forgot you can all right? So here it is. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:46.080 I'm so stupid. I completely forgot. So tonight it is 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:50.279 plus two oh five for a homer and is minus 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.320 two ninety on the under. So wonky, where is that 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.719 one eighty? Because I got two o five on DraftKings 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.960 right now? Will you be down to put a little 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.440 bit of ducats on a plus two oh five for 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:03.640 him to tie the record? 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.640 Uh no, uh no, I wouldn't. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:13.640 Uh we know, minus two ninety on a little single bet. 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.080 Huh huh no win three? 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.800 You know how I am man, I am pragmatic about 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.520 my betting. Uh I think would be the nice word 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.120 uh here for it. So no, I don't want to 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.440 bet on anyone to hit a homer, and I don't 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.120 want to bet against the guy to set a record. 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.719 So no, uh no, thank he's. 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.599 Right by the way, I said, guess and she did guess. 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:37.720 She followed complete directions. 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.560 By the way I followed directions, Welsh. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.400 I like the chat that got into Evil Welsh here, 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.159 and they're like Evil Welsh's regular my hairs. It if 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.120 it could just split into little horns like little Wolverine. 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:52.440 I like, well, the glove to Jet Hirst or whatever 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.479 I breakfast. 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.000 I am, I have hands hurting, Doctor Glenn, I need 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:58.560 a doctor. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.320 Well, she got to go get on his hog after 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.040 this show, so I've got to put the gloves on first. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:09.560 So ready for Mike Trout. I don't know, I'm tinted. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.560 I don't I think that this is a wild record 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.080 of a home run streak. I can't imagine they're gonna 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.279 want to be giving him good pitches. But it is 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.600 Cody Morris. It's a young kid that's gonna be pitching. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.400 Cody Morris is pretty good, by the way, but it's 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.160 gonna be a young kid that is going to be 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.320 pitching up against him. And I mean, Trout's gonna be 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:28.960 swinging for the fences, so that'd be a fun bet. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.080 I would like to know anybody in the chat who 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.000 is either going to bet for or against this tonight 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.280 on any platforms, don't care where it is, but let 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:36.600 me know. 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.080 What such a baseball thing too, because it's like, oh, 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.640 Mike Trout has a back injury and it's gonna affect 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:42.679 him for his entire career. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.840 We don't know if he's gonna even be good anymore. 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:45.839 Blah blah blah blah blah. 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.800 How about he sets the record or ties the record 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.880 for home runs in a game straight. I mean, just so, 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.400 it's baseball, man. Yeah, that's baseball, Susan, there you go. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.320 It's ball beauty, baseball beauty. Some other headline notes. Mookie 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.440 bets connected three run homer t help the Dodgers to 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.359 a six oh victory over the Diamondbacks, his thirty fourth 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.479 of the year, and he is continuing to blank on 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.960 the other side. By the way Ryan Nelson blank the 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.880 Dodgers over six inning, but he didn't factor in the win. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.520 Looks like he's gonna get the Padres next week. And 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.800 we were both like, we're, yeah, hears, even though he 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.960 was really good here, But do you jump on the 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.720 Ryan Nelson train after two straight incredible outings and he's 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:28.720 got the Padres coming up. 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:30.840 Well, look, I'll say this, if you can shut down 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:32.720 the Dodgers' lineup for six innings, he could shut down 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.760 anybody's lineup for six innings. So sure, you know, he 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.360 looks good. He's on a heater right now. So ride 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.840 the wave. You know, the bubble is gonna burst at 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.280 some point, hopefully not in your playoffs, but if you're 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.760 at that point, especially he said he starts Saturday. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.320 Now it's looking like yesterday this week, and I'm gonna 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.440 guess it's gonna be Yeah, probably Saturday. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.240 There's worst starts out there, and you know this is 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.320 a start. If you're desperate, you need it, you need 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.160 the strikeouts, you need the ra whatever. Yeah, you can 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.160 roll him out there because he's been dependable the last 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:03.800 couple starts. 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.240 So yeah, I think I would too, especially after the 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.280 Dodger outing. I think there's a lot of confidence that 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.800 goes into it. I mentioned he's a really smart pitcher. 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.160 Multiple offerings, Padres, I been a little bit dicey, and 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.760 this is a discord question. And this reminds me to 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.880 let you guys know, if you guys have a question. 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:23.920 At the end of this episode, we're going to try 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.520 to answer a couple. I can start the questions as 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.280 we go, So if you want to do a question 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.160 for start and sit, pick up whatever for the chat, 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.840 I will start and we will try to get to 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.880 a couple at the end, so you can just freely 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.679 let it go as you will and we will be 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.679 able to go back to those questions pretty easy. Bobashett 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.600 hit a two run home run to beat the Rays. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.920 In the month of September, Bugs, He's hitting over five 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:52.120 hundred with seven homers twenty one RBI in eleven games. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.040 You asked me the question on IAD yesterday. 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:55.160 So hot right now? 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.760 I know, I had Bashett moved past like Michael Harris 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.920 because we had this talk about Michael Harrish with Bobashett 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.560 and we had this The debate was interesting because it's like, 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.400 what can you trade Michael harre because people like get 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.120 off of the Michael Harris train. What could you optimize 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.400 for Michael Harris? What would have been Bashett? You couldn't 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.600 have done that now, but if you could, that would 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.000 be kind of a win week ago. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.320 That might have looked like a lopsided deal in the 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.480 Michael Harris side, you know. But I mean Boba sheet 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.719 has been the hotness, uh since coming into the month 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.640 of September, So uh yeah, right, that way. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.000 You can make God or I don't think you can 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:30.800 make that trade anymore. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.600 But that's that was kind of hot to the end 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.679 of the year. Can he get himself back like near 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:36.400 the first round? 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.560 I don't think he can get himself into the first round, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.760 but I think he can get himself firmly back into 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.360 like the top. Well you know what I say that. 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.600 I was about to say Lake Rode fifteen. Maybe, yeah, 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.559 maybe he could. But like people are always asking like, well, 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.079 what would be the optimized Mike Harris stuff. That's that's 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.440 kind of what you need to do.

He's got a little tummy bug bogs 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:20.600 little tummy. 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.200 Hey, you know what, you got a tummy bug? Your 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.920 power goes out. Sometimes you just can't show up for work, right, 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:30.880 so uh you know, uh, fire shots fire, Oh come on, Bubb, 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:31.720 Does I love him? 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:33.760 If I didn't love Bubb, I wouldn't be here right. 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.160 So, but uh, you know, it's it's just part of 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.640 what happens, you know, especially these days. Anyone has anything 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.000 where they might be sick. Nope, stay the hell at home. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.320 We don't want you here, so go away. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.679 Last piece of the news news will go to Andreies. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.200 According to Craig Mitchel for It's Sports Grade, Marlins are 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.600 expected to call up Jordan Grosshands prior to Tuesday's game 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.079 against the Phillies. He was a former Blue Jays prospect. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:03.319 I don't have great, great prospects on Jordan Groshan's power 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.520 is kind of completely decimated. He's kind of found his 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.120 bat a little bit more. But this is not this 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:09.960 is not a guy that I'm looking to pick up 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.080 right now. I mean, you know, opportunity to. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:13.520 Him some experience at the end of the year, but 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.440 you're not run to the wire. You spend that money. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:21.240 Like Bogman's cliche availability is the best ability ability. 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.400 God, you can't even remember the cliche. I said it 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.200 a thousand times. I was about to screw it up 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.120 about the availability is the best ability ability. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.760 Yeah, okay, it just didn't make sense to me when 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:31.880 I was saying it in my head. 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.080 But yeah, more of a football term. But yes, I 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.240 mean it applies to Jazz Chisholm. 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.880 So yeah. And Jordan Grosshan's on the injury front. Brandon 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.160 Lau out of the Raised lineup for Game one due 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.120 to some back discomfort. Wander Franco's back with the race 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.160 during lineup for the opening contest of Tuesday's doubleheader against 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.360 the Blue Jays. So there you go. And David Bednar 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.720 is gonna begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.760 with Triple A Indianapolis. I've got to go look because 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.760 like I feel like there's like two days left of 0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.600 the minor league season. They keep we keep talking about 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.959 finally rehab stins, but I'm pretty sure it's like done. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.599 It's got to be just done. Done. This day in 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.960 Baseball Bogs nineteen oh nine, ty Cob clinches the American 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.640 League home run title with his ninth round tripper. It 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.800 is an inside the park homer against the Browns. In fact, 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.319 all his nine Lewis season Yeah, and check us out, 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:24.000 all of his nine homers that season were inside the park, 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.720 including two and one game on July fifteenth. He's the 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.640 only player in this century to lead in home runs 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.000 without hitting one out of the park. And we won't 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.880 have a conversation about the how the players performed then 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:37.680 versus how they perform now. 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.040 Right, Ty Cobb? 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.400 Ty Cobb one of the best hitters ever, but like 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.640 he is, definitely like the Christopher Columbus of baseball, not 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.680 a guy that we should be celebrating, but by any 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.439 stretch of the imagination, not very good dude. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:55.320 But you know, a lot of gets into the stadium. 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.320 Yep, yeah, sure, yeah, we'll just go with that now. 0:12:59.440 --> 0:12:59.920 I can't. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.439 Yeah, it's a little easier to get a lot of 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.480 hits off of fifty nine mile an hour fastballs. But 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.600 you know that's just me. This is me. I got 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.080 a trivia question for you, bagman. You're gonna love this one, 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:13.120 all right, No Dodger question, hate it. How many times 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:17.000 have the Dodgers finished with the most wins among al 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:21.160 n L teams and won the World Series, so it's essentially. 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.480 Just who's that and won the World Series? 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.080 They were the White Series and oh you absolutely know that, Yeah, 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.080 you absolutely did. I'm surprised you got it. 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.440 Well, they won their one World Series and then you 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.120 know what was the other one the Kirk Kipson won, 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:36.400 So that's all I got. 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.840 Yeah, and it's funny too seeing this. So the two 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.360 were in twenty twenty when they were forty three and 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:47.600 seventeen because of COVID, and then they won nineteen fifty 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.320 five where they were nine eight and fifty five. 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.599 So yeah, well they've led the league and wins a 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.560 bunch of times and then choking the playoffs. 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:57.120 So let's let's keep that rolling. 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.600 We were talking about this on ITL yesterday too. An 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.880 incredible run differential of three hundred and like twelve runs 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.839 against opponents this year, which is number one. I think 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.680 number two was like two hundred runs. 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.800 So they have like it was the Yankees somehow that 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:16.040 that just imagine how many how many runs the Yankees 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.760 were up before their skid where they had no offense 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.160 for like six weeks and uh, you know, and now 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.880 they're like two hundred runs their second But yeah, the 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.360 Dodgers just keep you know, beating the Jesus out of everybody. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.920 They beat the d Backs last night by like six runs. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.600 So yep, that's uh, that's just that's. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:35.040 The way it goes. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.120 But you know what, you can have a three hundred 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.040 run differential and still choke in the first round of 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:40.640 the playoffs. 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.520 So we're here for it. Let's go hope. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:47.000 That's your hope. Stat heroes. Marcus Simeon three for four 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.400 with a homer and three RBI. Yesterday we talked about 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.240 Boba Schett two for three with a homer and three 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.480 rbhin a run. Aristate is a Keno. He was on 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.920 the props yesterday for one and a half and I 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.160 believe he was the plus money play if I remember correctly. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.880 Two for three, homer, two RBI. John Birdie had a 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.200 couple stolen bases. You guys have been dying for that. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.400 Ralphael Ortega had a homer. He was two for thirte. 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.240 Brian Reynolds may have been one of the top home 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.560 run people's calls. Two for four with a homer. Zach 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.800 McKinstry had a bomb. Matt Duffy out of absolutely nowhere 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.920 two for four with a homer couple. RBI Francisco Lindor 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.600 had a homer and Jeremy Pania did not have a homer, 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.400 but he was three for five with a stolen base, 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.880 just kind of what everybody has been needing and waiting 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.080 for him to pick back up. Jeremy Payne, you and 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:29.680 I have talked a lot about Jeremy Paania. Do you 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.800 think you're gonna be in on Jeremy Pinia next year? 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.240 Because I feel like the back half struggle has put 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.360 him in a spot where he is gonna be at 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.920 best outside the top one a little bit outside the 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.680 top one fifty, and he's gonna be more of a 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.920 middle infielder than a starting shortstop next year, and I 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:46.800 kind of think there's gonna be value in year two. 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.240 Yeah, I mean that's the nice part. 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.840 It depends on h because if he's just outside that 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.920 top one fifty, I think that's like at value. But 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.080 if he drops below like two hundred or something in 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.120 that range, which you probably shouldn't maybe one seventy five ish, 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.680 that is where I think you're starting to get really 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:08.720 good value on him. So really, you know, I like 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.880 Jeremy Pania and I hope he comes at a value, 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.880 but it really depends on where we see him get 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:14.800 drafted early. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.800 Only a three point nine percent walk rate this year, 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.840 which is garbage, but ten homers, I'm sorry, seventeen homers, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.720 ten stolen bases with a two fifty three batting average. Okay, 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.960 runs an RBI for being moved out of kind of 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.400 like those top spots in the order. I'm just gonna 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.800 have to prove improve on discipline in the off season, 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.440 be able to take a little bit more, a little 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.800 bit more on pitches, kind of find your spot a 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.200 little bit more, which could lead to a higher batting average. 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.480 And look him through here. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.040 This is like if Michael Harris started to struggle because 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.920 he started out so hot. You know, he was so 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.320 good to start, but then he hit that bump that 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.200 we expect with young players. Michael Harris never hit the bump. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.920 Yeah. Well, and I mean there's completely different, like just 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.280 contact skills with those guys. Sure, Penio was never necessarily 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.680 this type of guy, but just physical specimen and the 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.520 leadoff stuff didn't work and everybody else picked it back up. 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.520 But I don't know, Paniatic is going to be a good, 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.800 like cheap buy back in the offseason for people, if 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.080 you're in like even keeper dynasties or in redraft, I 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:15.600 think it'll be one of those guys in like really 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.359 early best balls. I will probably get as like you know, 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.680 second or third middle infielder and hopefully reaped the rewards 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.200 on the pitch in side. Franber Valdez went nine, struck 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.320 out eight, only gave up six hits. Alex Cobb struck 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.680 out seven over seven. Ryan Nelson and we talked about, 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.560 struck out six over six, only gave up two hits 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.840 to the Dodgers, which is crazy. Tyler Anderson against those Diamondbacks, 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.760 though he went seven, only struck out two, and Trevor 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.760 Rogers six and one third with nine strikeouts. Bogman, Trevor 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.480 Rodgers lives, and I know Wonky is just in a 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.640 field day with it right now. I don't know if 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.919 you remember how bad Trevor Rodgers. Oh yeah, he is 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:58.760 still sporting a five three five ERA even after these 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.720 good performances and splits so far. I mean, the splits 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:04.840 still don't even look that great because the first and 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.639 second half are all kind of jumbled. But he had 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.399 a August A one to five ERA over one start 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.320 and in September he's had two starts with a three 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:16.640 six five ERA. 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.760 He's got three quality starts in a row. 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.120 Yeah, and that's the thing. March five ERA, May five, 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:26.160 ERA seven in June five, almost six ERA in July, 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.920 and then these last three starts after spending time in 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.280
