We're not gonna forget about baseball entirely, obviously. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.640 The first hour here we're gonna talk a lot about 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.880 waiver wire stuff and recap events from last night. But 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.799 I'm excited, man, I'm excited. Do you feel do you 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.880 feel badly that you're not going to WrestleMania and it's 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.400 in your backyard? It's it's here in New York. If 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.679 I've if I've never been to WrestleMania, I probably would. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.880 But I've already gone to Rorestlemania, so it doesn't it 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.359 doesn't mean much. I went last time. They were in 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.480 I guess the meadow Lands at the time already. Yeah, 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.239 I went last time. I was so drunk I couldn't 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.480 see the ring. I had to eat food. It was 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.079 very high up, man. You know it's pretty game in 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:37.120 herrows Tailgating got to buy a big sausage Hero the 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.240 same man, I was. I just leave last night? How 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:45.000 did I say? Still? Very well? Very well you buddy law? 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.320 Last night you drank a lot. You're death draft. Yes, 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.280 the two heavy beers here and then we went to 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.120 Lare and drinking a lot more during the Game of 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.400 Throne's Death Pool draft. You must have slept very well. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:58.960 It might have been kind of hard to get up. 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.800 But yes, precisely. Yeah, I mean I've been there a 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.120 million times. We should do a Game of Thrones at 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.080 the draft. I'm not gonna say my team then in 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.480 the network for the house scheme, what we should do 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.120 the opposite? Then why don't we do a survivor draft? Yeah, 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.279 it's not as I know, Yes, Alex, Alex is complicated. 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.160 I don't like. I like, let's do the opposite of 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.520 what you're doing. Then already doing a debt draft. Don't 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.599 want to do a survivor draft, but you want to, Okay, 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.360 we do that. Thing is gonna survive, all right, But 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:29.400 I don't want to. I don't want to do the 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.120 whole network because there's too many people. Yeah, obviously, okay, 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:38.600 like people whatever A twelve characters, there are six seventy 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.080 eight characters. You're not gonna have your team will be yeah, 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.880 exactly like us. Three cut. I don't know if Steve 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.440 watch the Game of Thrones will get him in there. 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.160 I gotta cut it. We'll get Alex if he wants. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.520 You gotta cut it. But what do you mean because 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.680 Brian in there wait wait, women feel like Alex is 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.200 trying to talk, but we're just overpowering him. As if 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.960 you want a reference for my draft. And it's not 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.240 a death draft, it's a survivor draft. We picked people 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.159 who think we're gonna get in an episode and survive 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.880 to the end of that episode. And we have seven 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.480 teams with seven players on each team. So there was 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.120 about forty nine people we could pick from in a 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.880 pool of people that were still alive. Yeah, so we 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.200 could do something with ten people and have five guys 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:22.600 on each team. It's possible. It's fifty guys. Sure you 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.000 have to set it up there. Oh no, you're the 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.960 commissioner of the Game of Thrones draft. I'm already a 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:33.000 commissioner of a horribly controversial, fancy baseball league. Constant annoying 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:39.200 is doing surgery now was going on. He's got I 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.479 don't know what's going on here. Greg's all over the place. 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.239 He's trying to he's trying to set up his head's 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:51.120 insane microphone. This was just absolutely I think it was you. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.799 I have no idea you're the last person in that seat, 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.160 was I wi. Yeah, I guess dude, this is insane. 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.479 So what are you doing? You're right, I got it. Great. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.240 We really got to jump into some baseball though, because 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:09.880 we only have so much time talking base I was 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.400 too busy. Alex just said his league and what he does. 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.120 Alex has recapped what his league is. It's if you're 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.240 if you appear in an episode and you survived that episode, 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.279 you get points. And it's obviously you want your guys 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.960 to survive a surviving So if we see somebody in 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.280 an episode making through it and then they see him 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:25.159 in the beginning and they make it to the end 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.839 of episode, we get a point. All right, Well, Alex's 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:33.520 recapping it again for you guys, and time is not 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.279 a charge. We'll be doing a Game of Thrones draft, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:42.600 which Chris will be the commissioner of. Yeah, you were 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.680 very excited about setting this up, so you will be 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.920 the commissioner, and then that will be it. We'll have 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.080 a little Game of Thrones draft and uh, that's it. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.400 We're wrapping up the conversation game. We'll we'll make it 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.200 simple to like you know every day that again here 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.120 advances he gets a point, Like so if a guy survives. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.640 After the first episode, he gets a point. Episode two 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.719 he gets another point. How so, how many people are 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.680 we doing in this stuff? Maybe ten? Ten, five guys? 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.800 Whatever the commissioner wants. There's there's just not good. You're 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.240 gonna be to have a big roster. You're gonna be 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.760 drafting people you don't know. That's fine. I'll take uh, 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:22.640 I only know, like I'll take no problem, no problem. 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.920 You don't get points. You don't get points, even in 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.040 the finals, not in the season. You don't get points 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.480 for that. What if he he doesn't appear and he 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.760 survives all those episodes though he does not bad. If 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.640 he does not appear in this season, you're not getting 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.920 But if he appears at the very last episode, but 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.480 he and he's been allowed to hold you, then you 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.160 get you only you only get points and episodes of 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.920 which they appear. Okay, so we're doing the Alex Way. Okay, 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.960 that's Alex Way. Who knew? Yeah, only everyone here except 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.400 you correct the right. Let's get let's get into baseball. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.880 Let's do it in the baseball Trevor Bauer last night, gentlemen, 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.440 and we only have fifty minutes to do all this 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.080 for the most part. Obviously can bleed over if he 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.280 really needs to. But I want to try to go 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.120 through as much of what impressed me the most from 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.520 last night, and they really getting on into the waiver 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.080 wire and they've done a nice job. Frankie Chrish going 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.560 over the waiver wire all week long was just only 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.280 when we've talked about these guys. A lot of Reddy 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.080 only want to do today is kind of prioritize it 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:14.760 and think that's what we have to do. But let 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.400 me start with one impressed me from last night. Of 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.840 course the first Trevor Bauer who had seven no hit innings, 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.720 walk six guys but struck out eight Bouer uh told 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.480 the Mede after the game, Francona did the right thing, 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.600 pulling the right there. That's what he should have done. 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.560 Uh Brad Hand blows the no hitter in the ninth 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.440 Indians when Bauer very impressive. Frank Yeah, he was awesome, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.720 basically picking up where he left off last year. Obviously, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.680 worry about the walks here six I had six walks. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.000 You know last year he really cut down the walks 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.360 and that's what made him so effective. He obviously limited 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.360 the home runs to uh so in conjunction together. That's 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.400 why he was able to have such a great year 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.679 as he did last year with two point to one 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.040 e r A. You know, cut the walks down to 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.520 a career below two point nine three walks for nine. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.960 Um so if he's reverting back to his old way 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.439 is where he's still gonna get a lot of strikeouts. 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.839 We're gonna walk a lot of guys. I don't like that. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.040 I want to see better command. Obviously, he was lights out, 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.200 he was awesome. Um So I'm not gonna take anything 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:09.839 away from him. I just want to I want to 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.760 see a better command overall. And this is basically a 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.720 daily watch with If you're streaming, you're starting pictures against 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.200 Blue Jays. They've been no hit through the like first 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.720 five innings of a game, like five days in a row. 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.840 They're very bad, So streaming your pictures against Toronto Blue Jays. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.520 The line up yesterday was absolutely brutal. They were They 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:33.440 basically started their bench to Bruto was playing right. Yeah, 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:37.959 I mean, but that's really bad. That that's the worst Socrates, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:43.360 Brito batting, second, grit Chuk, Croudy to Les, Jansen, Jansen, McKinney, 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:48.280 Billy McKinney, Laurdes Guriel, Freddy Galvi's and Alan Hansen. Yeah, 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.240 obviously smokes missing from that lineup because up the Nick injury. 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.200 Right now, Look, it'll get better with Vlad but and eventually, 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.080 I mean, I don't know when we're gonna see him 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.160 call up, but they'll get better with Lad, I don't know. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.360 But that's not how much better they're actually gonna get though. 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.800 This is why I'm not that impressed by Bower, like 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.240 I'm impressed by ballot performance. We expect a lot from 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.439 him though at this point, and he's playing the Blue Jay. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:13.800 So he didn't give up a hit, Okay, fine, but 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.079 six walks he did get out of a situation where 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.040 he had bases loaded. That was that was really nice 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:19.880 to get out of that spot because that could have 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.199 been a disaster, which he calls himself. Yeah, he called 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.160 himself because he walked everybody but um. At the same time, 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.959 you know, if that was a better team, could have 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.280 been a whole different story that and he could have 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:30.960 blew up and his you know, it could have been 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.199 a terrible stock easily from that one ending. But you know, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:35.840 he's playing the Blue Jays and he got himself out 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.679 of it, So I don't know. I'm like six walks 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.640 is a lot. That's a lot in one game. Bower 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.959 was talking about in spring training about how he was 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.280 working on a new changeup that has been pretty good 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.400 for him so far, and he's throwing it about eighteen 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.720 percent of the time on the season through two starts. 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.599 Obviously small sample size, but um coming into this this 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.600 year he hadn't he was throwing at eight point four 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.720 percent of the time. So he's basically up his percentage, 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.959 his changeup percentage ten percent this year, and he's just 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.520 he's going with a different arsenal. He's throwing his curveball less. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.520 But he has a four seamer, he has a cut fastball, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.400 he has a changeup, he has a slider, and he 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.400 has a curveball. And this is part of what you've 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.640 heard about Bauer for years now is he has so 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.520 many pitches it's kind of hard for him to decide 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.600 which wants to use. Like his repertoire is so vast, 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.599 but he's got a hone in and really kind of 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.800 just master the pitches that he wants to use, like 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.080 the four or five pitches. Okay, that's fine, you want 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.960 to use those, master those and then we'll go from there. 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.280 It seems like he's still kind of working some things 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.840 out because he's walking a lot of guys, still getting 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.680 a lot of strikeouts. So obviously last night was awesome 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.440 for him, But I really want to see better command 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.360 and him hone in on just the pitches he wants 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:47.959 to use. Most of course, you need to see the 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.760 better command, and I agree with that. And again it's 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.520 early on. You're trying to get a feel for your pitches. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.600 I don't want to I'm trying to do better at 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.760 this discount what he did because of the lineup that 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.440 he did it against. You have to beat this team. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.400 You need to do well against these teams, and you're 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.280 going to face a lot more terrible teams during the season, 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.800 and you are really great teams. And we discussed especially 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.840 pitching in the a ES Central correct and we discussed 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.400 this a lot when like, oh, it's the Yankees right now, 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.360 or it's the Orioles, or it's the Tigers. We can't 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.720 be too impressed by this, it's the Rays, whatever you face. 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.880 It seemed all the time, right like, so I don't 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.679 think we should discount that's as much as as I 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.559 thought you did, Chris like he was good, like you 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.640 want to you want to limit the world Walks. I 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.840 understand you want to narrow the pitch selection a little bit. 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.080 It's really good performance. It was. Yeah, still still great 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.520 performance obviously for our fantasy baseball team. Frank, I'm not 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.880 on set by the performance here, No, absolutely not. You 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.400 love it. It's great still quite Frankly, the a L 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.000 is a lot worse than the n L right now. 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.960 Like the a L lineups are bad. There's a lot 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:54.720 of oreos. Uh, the Tigers the Royals are actually better 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.960 than those, but still not great. Um, White Sox are 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:03.040 getting better. But then nothing's crazy. You know. Oakland's alright. 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.520 You know the Yankees. You can stream against the Yankees 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:11.880 right now. Even Alex Cobb was yeah, absolutely Um. Also 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:16.040 impressing me last night, man, Max Freed. I tried telling 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.959 you guys that this guy Accordion Freddie Freeman at the 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.880 most talent of any picture on the Atlanta Nave staff. 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.719 Last night. We saw it, Frank, Yeah, I mean, look, 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.079 my biggest takeaway for Max Freed last night was the 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.679 fact that he didn't walk anybody. He was He was 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.680 perfect through entering the sixth enning. That's when I turned 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.920 the game on. He he allowed a hit the center field. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.880 I believe it was to Zigoonists, the guy that they've 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.920 been streaming against left handed pitching instead of using Kyle Schwarber. 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.880 So there you go again, Joe Madden, smartest guy in 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.600 the room. But yeah, Max Freed looked very good. UM 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.199 six innings, one run, zero walks. I love the zero walks, 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.960 only five strikeouts. He didn't have a ton of swinging strikes, 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.560 so that's one takeaway from me or Greg. I mean, 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.680 they did let him throw eighty eight pitches in the start, 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:07.720 but only seven swinging strikes. But mile per hour fastball 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.800 for him seventy five mile pur curve, which he threw 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:15.079 twenty seven times. So he's predominantly fastball curveball pitcher. But 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.320 the difference between his fastball losit and his curveball velocity 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:22.240 is twenty miles. So I do really like that he 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.320 threw a change up only five times, through a slider 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.960 four times. So we talked about this a lot with 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.320 young starting pitchers. They normally have two pitches that they 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.200 really like that they go to a lot and then 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.360 they try to work work in a third and sometimes 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.800 a fourth, so I'm sure he's working on those things. 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.240 But yeah, I was impressed by what he did here 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.360 and against the clubs lineup that is no slouch. It's 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.240 a it's a good club's lineup, So I thought it 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.920 was a great job by Max Freed. I don't he 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.120 did it perfectly. I was just gonna say that, Um, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.800 Joe Madden does have a problem with his pitching though, 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.720 darbish getting shelled again. Absolutely, you can't have you can't 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.200 have Darvish in your lineup. I have him in my 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.640 home league, points league, especially where you want volume, you 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.320 want guys that are gonna go deep into games and 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.760 give you quality starts. He's just walking the world right now. Yeah. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:10.520 I think he had six swalks in his first start 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.000 against the Rangers. He had four walks yesterday and only 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.560 four endings pitched. You can't start, you do you think 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:20.160 he's washed? Something's wrong. Look, he's always had command issues, 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.400 but not to this one. I mean his first start, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.280 what was it three plus ending six walks and then 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.280 yesterday I walked per ending pitched And he's always had 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.760 command issues. But it's not even like he's missing a 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:32.760 lot of bats now and he's getting hit two strikeouts 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.720 in four ending. That's the thing. Usually he would dominate 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.360 the wolks wouldn't hurt him that much because he k 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.840 everybody or you know, giving good stuff. Now he's getting shelled, 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.720 so something's wrong with him again. That's a free just 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.360 for one second. The only question I have is if 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.280 he'll stay in that rotation as Faulty comes back, um, 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.800 as as Kevin Galishman comes back. That's that's what you 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.440 have to worry about. He's talented, he has the stuff. Again, 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:57.880 if he pitches like last night, they can't pull him 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.800 in the rotation. I think who That's my only hesitation. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.920 Who do you think? I think he's a deeper league guy. 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.840 I would add only obviously, but twelve teams. I'm not 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.920 doing it. I don't think you can. He faces Colorado 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.480 next week in Colorado. Exactly, you're not gonna do that. 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.600 That was the only thing um I want to say. 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.320 But when it comes to do you Darvish, you can't 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.440 start him right now. You absolutely cannot start him right. 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.400 I wouldn't drop alright because paid for On the other side, 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.080 we also have a no hitter or alert in this 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:27.960 Mets Nationals game for a while. Like both know us 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.440 Syndergarden and Steven Stotsberg were pitching as as well as 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.720 they should. Uh, Stephen Shotsburg, guy, you were not on 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.360 It's pretty well here yesterday. Health is the important thing 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.640 with Strassburg. We'll come back. We hit on Aaron Sanchez, 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.080 Tyler Malley, I Spencer Turnbull as well as the ground. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:49.440 More pitching performances come out next.

Baseball. Let's continue on quickly here um with 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.440 some of the stuff that we noticed yesterday, so we 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.200 can continue on and push through over our number one 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.840 you've had. You've always spent your turnbull and ten strikeouts yesterday, Frank, 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.159 I'm interested. Are you for real in deeper leagues? I'm interested. 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.399 I'm not ready to do it in twelve team leagues. 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:20.040 He does have a he has an interesting arsenal. Man. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.120 It looked ten strikeouts yesterday against the Kansas City Royals. Normally, look, 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.960 I know they have Mondescy, but outside of him, this 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.120 is the lineup that actually makes a lot of contact. 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.200 I looked into this the other day and they were 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.680 you know, I've been the top five in the league 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.840 in contact rates to start the season, so they don't 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:37.960 strike out a lot. And Spencer Terminal comes in here 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.560 and he has ten strikeouts, he has fifteen swinging strikes. 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.040 Put together a quality start here, six innings, two earned runs. 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:46.840 This is a guy who you know, made some noise 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.040 in the minor leagues for for the Tigers as well. 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.560 Kind of joked about him before the season, But he 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.119 has my attention in deeper leagues as of right now. 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:58.160 Fourteen fifteen. Team leagues are deeper obviously only just because 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.000 he has a rotation spot well team leads. Greg, I'm 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.120 not I'm not ready to do it there yet. Um, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.040 but he doesn't have my my attention in deeper league. 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.399 Me too. I looked into him a little deeper and um, 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.000 you know, his minor leagues pretty good. As he went 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.760 through the minors, he got better. I feel like, Uh, so, 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.600 I hope the cape per nine thing is is the truth, 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.280 and then I'll buy in if he could keep that 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:27.480 kper nine up. Okay, look at this last year. Last year, 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.920 across four different levels. Think about this, he progressed from 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.399 rookie ball to high A to Double A to Triple 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.560 A and he had uh he had a hundred and 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.840 thirty three strikeouts and a hundred nineteen and one third 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.320 any spitch. So he's a guy that has some swinging 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.920 miss ability. Is he gonna be a strikeout per any 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:49.240 necessarily every start at the major problem? Maybe not, but 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.080 maybe he's between eight and nine case per nine and no, 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.800 hopefully could keep the walks down as well. There's some 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.040 interest there, sure, I think I think I just want 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.520 to see who's just showing up? Uh, that's obviously huge. 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.600 Who who does he face next week? And the answer 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.920 is as the term, but will be facing dream guys 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:14.200 Cleveland Indians. That's another American League team, terrible lineup, Ventura. 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.320 I'm actually kind of interested in that, alright, Leagues like 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:19.879 I'd be willing to stream him against the Cleveland Indians. 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:24.399 All right, Yeah, there you go, Spencer the Bull against 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.400 the Cleveland Indians next week potentially. So my man, Aaron 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.280 Sanchez was on the other side of the Trimmer Bower 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.760 game last night. Six innings, two run ball, five kids, 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.960 walked a couple of guys. Um, not a bad start 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.000 from Aaron Sanchez. I know he faced Indians, so we're 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.440 not a great lineup, and Josian Mirres left this one hurt. Um. Yeah, 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.720 but I'm okay with this venture from Aaron Sanchez. Yeah. 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.960 Not not a bad start. I mean, you know, maybe 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:49.960 he's still ramping up, right, but it's not. It's a 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.040 good sign. I guess. You know, he was able to go, 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.640 you know, deeper into the game and pitch a pretty 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.320 good game right there. Quality start, I'll take it. Um. 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.680 I don't know, I don't really have him anywhere, and 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.639 he's owned pretty much everywhere. So it's not a guy 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.399
