I don't know if 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:49.839 you knew that. 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.480 I'm actually not even joking about this. Two nights ago 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.000 we went to this. It was just like, man, this 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.040 is this hotel was built in eighteen ninety nine out 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.520 here in this place called Wickenberg, and they were they 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:01.600 were reopening. 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.480 Called the Great wolf Line. 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.120 Yeah built it was a haunted mansion. 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.000 It's supposed to be built in eighteen ninety nine, and 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.920 we go, we come back and we pull into our 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.800 driveway and there's no like front lights on. It's all 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:18.240 very dark. We pull out and these two guys go, oh, hey, 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.160 where'd you guys go? And we're like, and I'm looking 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:22.960 around and they're near my wife and I kind of 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.280 roll around the car and it is said, gentlemen in 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:31.399 white T shirts with nine PM in the dark, trying 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:32.800 to have the conversation. We're like, we were at a 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.320 haunted mansion. We were, we were with them. We can't 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.360 do this right now. So I assume that was similar 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.760 to Joe, But no, Joe is back tomorrow. Joe had's 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.560 some internet stuff. So Bogman is pinch hitting today.

This 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.760 episode brought to you Bye.

We're gonna do some prize picks a little 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.480 bit later. We've got some betting, We got a little 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.440 bit of everything. Home run board will I have made 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.000 the home run board. I don't know if you know this, 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:16.560 bogman Joe has become a hater in his hating process. 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:17.760 No, not Joe. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.120 Yep, he decided that Kyle Schwarber was done, but he 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.600 was unaware of Kyle Schwarber in June what happened last month. 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:30.200 And he was also unaware that wah Wah had schwarber Fest. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:38.280 Wahwah's Schwarberfest was real. And guess what June, Kyle Schwarber 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.079 came through and hit two bombs on Sunday and guess 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.280 which host decided to take Kyle Schwarber in the weekend 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:46.760 to spite the other one. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.320 I don't think I have to guess Welsh. I think 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.800 you definitely took Kyle Schwarber. And were you involved in 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.520 planning for Schwarbfest or whatever it is. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.640 No, I think it's amazing, like we were joking about it, 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.400 but like wah wat actually had a thing called. 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.200 Schwar like Josh Lowe hates it. We know that we did. 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:07.840 We did a vote on it TL a couple of 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.000 weeks ago about Josh lo versus Kyle Schwarber. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.000 Everybody took Josh low to my surprise. 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.880 But struggling a little bit the last couple of days 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.120 going to Golshber two bombs on Sunday, I think we 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.560 forget about that forty five plus home run power. 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.320 Uh there pretty quickly when Josh Lowe's piling up steals 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:25.919 and homers. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.239 So yeah, well two three run homers as Phillies beet 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.040 the Nationals eleven to three, and we will see the 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.640 whole point of that was actually just to be like, 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.280 will I make the home run board. 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.320 It's a brag about being on the home run board. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.600 I know, I know your game, Welsh. Not my first 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.360 rodeo with you, my friend, so we've been here before. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.680 Please this magnificent thing that Ethan made Schwarberfest. That's beautiful. 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.680 Like what other athlete is going to get a gas 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:57.080 station sponsorship that's just gonna be get that's the thing, 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:58.760 and I would get, by the way, okay, it would 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.280 be An in this league, Bogmina Welsh, we'd be sponsored 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.640 by you know, come and. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:10.880 Go, yeah, yeah, things on We're morning radio today for 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:11.440 us Welsh. 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:12.440 Look at that we are. 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.480 We are a little bit. That was a fun one. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.000 You know, we were gonna do this too, but we'll 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.240 give it today. Bogmin and I actually conducted a rest 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.560 of season draft last week with our friend Frank Stanfel 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.800 from CBS, and Joe wanted to talk about it. We'll 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.320 save it because I know Joe's gonna probably want to 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.600 talk about it. We'll do it tomorrow. So there's a 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.240 little teas for tomorrow that we'll talk about rest of 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.719 season draft and where some of the changes are. But 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.000 one person that is not going to be making that 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.880 top two round and might not make any of it 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:42.159 in the near future was Bryce Miller. Bryce Miller got 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.800 lit yesterday. I actually watched a bit of it, and 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.080 I don't want to say he was clean because he 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:49.880 got the bases loaded in the first inning. He got 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.280 out of it. Second inning I think was cleaner, but 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:58.600 then third inning, wap, bam boom. He got lit up 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.719 for eight runs. Bryce Miller now has given up all 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.600 of it seven innings over the last I think two starts, 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:13.040 fifteen earned runs and three homers. Are you out on 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.039 the Bryce Miller? Now? 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.920 I don't think I'm completely out. You know, two bad 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.600 starts in a row is horrible. Obviously, fifteen earned runs 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.240 in your last two starts with five. When you have 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.440 ten more earned runs than strikeouts in your last two starts, 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.839 it's not a good sign, Cotton, you know, not not 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.360 very good for you. But his left on base percentage 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.960 is also like hovering just over half, like that is 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:40.880 going to come way down here. 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.360 Eventually He's going to get out of some more of 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:42.960 these chams. 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.640 So I'm not completely out on him, but one more 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.159 bad start and it's probably see ya. So you know 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.599 it's this. We're doing the tight rope walk right now 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.719 with Bryce for sure. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.719 Checking my volume, someone said, am I too quiet? His 0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:58.839 bogman too loud? 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.560 Will be yeah, I'm too yeah, actually loud. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.479 I'll turn it down a little bit and I'll see 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.760 if I can come up here a little bit, and 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.800 you guys let me know if it. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.480 Is if I am too I don't say anything about 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.400 sound to the Welsh, he'll obsess about it in the middle. 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.359 Leave. I'll just like leave and just have to focus 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.719 on one of the things that was disturbing in that 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.880 start though. Three swing and misses, and this is this 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.400 is what got me felt very brandon fott ish. If 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:31.760 you guys watch Brandon fott getting hit super hard, not 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.760 getting the fastball by anybody we know. Bryce Miller's fastball 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.880 is a thing. He had twenty two swings on the fastball, 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.680 only two whiffs, seven more called strike, so it was 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.840 a twenty one CSW percentage. The slider had nothing and 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.920 the previous start he used some of his other offerings. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.840 This one was seventy percent fastball and it was ineffective. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.960 The vello was also down. The slider was ineffective. He 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.559 had a ten percent whiff rate overall, a twenty percent 0:06:58.640 --> 0:06:59.520 CSW rate. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.279 The pitch sounds pretty panicky, sounds young picture ish, you 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.159 know what I mean, Like, I can only get my 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.960 fastball over So I'm just gonna keep throwing the fastball 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:08.760 and they have to hit it. 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.200 And then they did. It's the bigs. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:10.560 You know. 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:16.000 Mayor's being mean. Can you yourself one hundred percent? And 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.760 I want I want Cason to know I want one 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.600 hundred percent. Started to look at my microphone stuff. You 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:22.440 guys are gonna freak. 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:23.040 Out, do that. 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.400 Stop looking at the chat. I'm gonna say you look 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.680 a look at the mean This chat is as well 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.560 as talking. I see you guys know I'm gonna freak out. 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:36.520 Good Bryce Miller one more. I'm gonna watch one yeah start. 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.000 There's a rough matchup against Texas. Uh I think it 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.040 was what Yankees versus Texas or me. It's two really 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.520 really rough matchups. The pitch mix is a whole new 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.480 thing for him. Don't go and like you know, rage 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.480 drop or anything like that. I'd like to see him 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.400 get back to it. I'm optimistic I can get there, 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.960 but you like kind of can't have like two You 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.560 can't have two worst starts at this point than what 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.200 brings me. So you're gonna have people that are massively, 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:07.520 massively panicking. Bogman, your guy sticks Tristan McKenzie. Phenomenal season debut, 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:12.880 five scoreless, ten strikeouts against the Twins. This is your guy, man. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.960 I love Tristan McKenzie, so I'm glad to see him 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.360 get back up on the board. 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:17.720 Now. 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:19.960 I think I have like three or four shares and 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.000 I only started him in one spot because of the 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.000 don't start a guy coming off the il rule from 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.760 our buddy Nick Pollock. Usually allow of those guys struggle 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.080 with command in their first start, but he did not. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.440 He looked great, So here's hoping for more and he 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:35.280 can stay healthy. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:36.160 So let's go. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.800 Tris a twenty nine percent whiff rate on the fastball, 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.160 which is great, and the vela is actually up a 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.120 little bit. It max out at ninety five. He was 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.360 averaging just around ninety three curveball thirty three percent, slider 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.880 seven swing six whiffs. That's an eighty six percent with 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.600 rate overall forty one percent whiff rate, which is super high, 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.360 and good csw thirty eight percent. He used both those, 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.199 all three of those pitches at about the same degree 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.000 that he normally does. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.560 This is like Bryce, Yeah, yeah. 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.920 The only thing though, is like the Twins are like 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.760 really bad, like really bad as far as swinging through. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.000 They're massive strikeout guys. So I think this was good 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.439 to get it going. I still don't know if McKenzie 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.240 is like going to be a massive, massive strikeout guy 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:20.240 all season, but. 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.360 I wouldn't expect me to get ten a game or anything. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.640 But you know, you would have been fun when you can. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:25.200 That's nice. 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.320 Would have been asking Bryce Miller versus Tristan McKenzie, like 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.160 before the two blow ups, where people would have been 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.720 I think everyone would probably easily go to sticks right now. 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:39.320 Right, yeah, easily after fifteen earned in two games for Bryce. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:40.920 Yeah, they're going for McKenzie. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.520 Ooh, this one. Let me see if I can get 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:48.040 this up here. Dumped Bryce for Andrew Abbott. We're gonna 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.800 talk about Andrew Abbitt here in a second. I don't 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:52.680 know if I would do that one. I don't know. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.240 I mean, Abbot seems to be pretty safe from what 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.120 they're saying about him. It seems like he's gonna stick 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.640 in the rotation for now. Yeah. 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.520 Well, you know what, Well, we got the rookie look 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.720 I know Joe would be upset if I just bashed 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.920 in and didn't put him in the rookie lookie, so 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.640 we'll keep him in the rookie lookies. Let's get through 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.720 these other ones here. Anthony Volpi hit a two run 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.920 homer in the ninth inning on Sunday as the Yankees 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.840 beat the words they put in this in the in 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.800 our show sheet. By the way that I'm gonna read 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.360 it as the show sheet is. Anthony Volpe swatted a 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.120 two run homer in the ninth inning on Sundays. The 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:26.200 Yankees try triumphed jumped over the Dodgers four to one, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.240 like we just say normal. They slashing one ninety three 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.840 two sixty eight three sixty three, nine homers, twenty six RBA, 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.560 thirteen stolen bases with Volpi right now. He has been 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:42.200 teetering the pickup drop all season. I say, continue to hold, 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.439 I continue? Do you continue to hold? 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:44.959 Yeah? 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.199 I mean he's putting up everything but batting average. So uh, 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:49.360 we'll take four out of five. 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.480 That's fine, Yeah, exactly. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.600 Marcus Stroman had another great performance in here, allowed just 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.720 one and run four hits over. They put six spectac 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.800 They're writing like, this is an article. This must be 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.839 Mayor's doing here, six spectacular innings. You know, we got 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:05.520 to have all the action. 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.000 Mayor just had to read a lot of my bad writing. 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.200 So maybe he's just like giving me an example of 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.840 what's some Oh, because you're on the show. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:13.400 Hey, guys, not. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.920 To like focus on anybody, Bogman, but this is how 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:17.600 we might write. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.560 I mean, he just had to read a bunch of 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.679 chapters from dummies like me for the Black Book, So 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.120 he's probably just like, God, this is what good writing is. 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:25.920 Guy. Here you go. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:27.920 Yeah, this let me help you out in words that 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.160 you would throw in here. Also, Tyler Wells has been 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.319 really good this year, delivered a dominant performance in Sunday's 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.320 victory over the Giants, racking up a season high nine 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:41.199 strikeouts over five of two run baseball. He also was 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.480 doing a lot of work on my uh really on everything, 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.960 my dynasty ranks, my prospect ranks, going through some just 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.760 season total stuff. And Tyler Wells is just everywhere on 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.920 the pitching metrics. You start going in and you just 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.600 start breaking down even through May. My trade video which 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.360 I'll be recording today and I'll be coming out on Wednesday, 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.480 going through to you know, find the right guys. Bam. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.640 Tyler Wells is just everywhere. Just a very sneaky pickup, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.960 very good streamer. All right, rookie lookies, they didn't put 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.760 it on here, but we got to do this. Andrew 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.760 abbott has been called up. He was called up yesterday 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.240 and I'm pulling up his stats here. Andrew Abbotts is 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.360 going to be starting today. And actually the strikeout line 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.079 was pretty aggressive. It's because of the start, of course 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.240 five and a half. If you want to get in 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.840 on the strikeouts, which I like that number, I believe 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.200 it's against who the Red's playing today. I went away 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.240 from it though Reds are playing the Brewers. So the 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:39.520 Brewers do strikeout, but there's some decent offensive help. Andrew 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.840 Abbott so far this year across two levels, a two 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:47.840 and a half ERA, ninety strikeouts over fifty four innings. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:49.239 Ninety strikeouts. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:50.520 I was like my Road to the Show guy. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.280 Yeah, it's like video game type of stuff. He had 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.680 like a twenty k per nine when he was in 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.679 Double A. That was due to the tacked ball up 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.400 in Triple A. This is probably more important here. He 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.640 had a three ERA over seven starts, fifty four strikeouts 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:09.400 on fourteen innings. He's a big power pitcher, big fastball 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.920 secondaries induce a lot of strikeouts, and that's where we're 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.280 gonna go with it. And you know, am I going 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.400 to go and drop Bryce Miller for him? Right now? 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.000 I'm not there, But am I gonna throw him out there? 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:21.320 Yeah? 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.200 I think so. I mean I kind of dig this start. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.840 It's it's in Cincinnati, which I guess I'm a little 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.400 bit worried about in general going up against juliote Ron. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.079 I actually think he can cover the strikeouts. I think 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.319 he's gonna be able to push innings. And I think 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.120 Andrew Abbott is a regardless if you were to start 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.240 him in this I think he's a pickup no matter 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.800 what immediately because this was the next big guy bug. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.240 So you know, it's a big question, what would you 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.000 Andrew Abbott or Bryce Miller. 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.520 That's tough. I think I still want Bryce Miller. I 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.760 mean just your chance for wins are so much higher 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.480 for him. Abbott and the Reds haven't been bad, by 0:13:56.480 --> 0:14:00.559 the way, and they're saying that he he looks like 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.040 he's going to stick in the rotation as well, so 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.240 he's not a bad pickup. 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:05.800 But I think I still want Bryce. 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.800 I actually like it too because of the commitment they're doing, 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.160 because that commitment is not everywhere else, Like we actually 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.280 have some concerns about Uri Perez. You know, Euri prisban phenomenal, 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.000 but the team is still like uncertain what they're going 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.880 to do there. Yeah, Craigmish even had talked about that 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.160 there's a possibility that they might shell them. You know, 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.640 once Trevor Rodgers is back and they get these guys back, 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.480 they might just say, hey, buddy, good job and then 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.320 just shelve them through the year for the innings and 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.200 go into next year, which I think would be crazy 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.640 if especially the team is competing. The one thing you're 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.680 not getting with Andrew Abbott is any of those concerns. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.640 Even with like the you know, some of the guardians 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.080 guys and stuff. Even though Zach Plisa got released, he 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.880 got designated for assignment. You know, they're making the commitment. 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.720 You know, this guy has theoretically got this gig and 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.320 he is a big, big strikeout option. I'm a little 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.560 bit worried about fly balls in general for him, especially 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.800 in this Milwaukee offense, but this, this specific one, I 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.040 wouldn't mind the strike. I would probably get him out here. 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:03.800 And you know what, like I've said before, you know what, 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.320 the best thing about starting like a high upside guy 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.640 in on Monday is if they blow up, your week's done. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.520 So who cares about anything else, Who cares about your er, 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:14.960 cares about your whip. You just go out at bogs 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:15.440 and you just. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.280 Add as many guys as you can. Yeah, just pilot 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:19.520 them strikeouts and wins. 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.240 Yep, Yeah, it's all over for you. Also on the 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.560 rookie lookies outside of Andrew Abbott, Bobby Miller turned in 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.640 a spectacular outing and a no decision against the Yankees, 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.880 striking out seven batters over six innings. He now is 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.200 a two in our record with a one point zero 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.800 six ERA, a point seven to six whip, sixteen to 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.600 four strikeouts to walk ratio in seventeen innings. He has 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:50.080 been everything. Bobby Miller is that, dude? Bobby Millerby Tanner, Bibby, 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.800 Taj Bradley, Rank. 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:59.000 Them, Bobby Bradley, Biby. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:04.040 Okay, Bobby Miller, TODs Bradley Tanner, Biby was a baby monkey? 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.360 Yeah, dude, That's exactly what I was thinking of when 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:07.520 I said it was what was it? 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:11.000 It was monkey baby, puppy monkey baby. That's it. We 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.000 need a graphic. Now we're gonna need a Tanner. We're 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:18.160 gonna need a Bibby Bradley. Who's our Bobby Miller, Yeah, 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:19.320 puppy monkey. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.840 Bobby Bradley, puppy monkey. 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:23.360 It was a monkey, puppy baby. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.080 Bobby Bradley, Yeah, puppy monkey baby. Was that I said? 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.440 When I say Bobby Bradley Rank the damn pitchers? Who 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:31.960 are Bobby Bradley Bibby. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.280 Bobby brad Okay? They actually you confused me? They're Bobby Bradley, Bibby. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:43.280 I'm gonna go with Bradley. Oh man, I'm gonna go 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:49.560 with Bradley Bobby Bibby, and I don't like doing that. 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.880 Did you know Bradley Bobby thirty innings pitched on the season, 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.600 TODs Bradley has the third best era of all pitchers 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.200 called thirty thirty innings or more pitch this entire season. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.320 Third best Sierra belongs to Taj Bradley. Just not ready 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.720 to give up on him. Also, speaking of Logan Allen, 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.560 who we did put in there, he got a victory 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.520 on Saturday, holding the Twins to two runs on seven 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.160 hits over six strong frames. Outside of my buddy Frank 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:20.200 texting me saying I've never had a more assured bet. Ever, 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.280 it's four and a half over strikeouts on Logan Allen. 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.600 This is all the stuff I said, say I did 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.199 the kid thing, Bogs, I said, say less bet, and 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.399 I threw in all the money and Logan Allen had 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.280 four strikeouts through four and then went to six with 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.359 no more strikeouts and finished with four strikeouts. 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.359 And oh god, we did not carry that to me. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.239 But Logan Allen does look like he's a little bit 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.919 more assured of a gig, which is important. On the 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.080 injury front, Aaron Judge told reporters after Sunday's win the 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.479 Dodgers that he's going to undergo additional testing on his 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.320 big right toe on Monday. I think they were asking 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.400 if he broke his toe. He was kind of uncertain 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.920 about that. Nest Cortes is going to be headed to 0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:00.520 the AL with a short injury. That's stinky. Finally, Brandon 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:05.560 Lau actually dealing with back issues, not lower leg discomfort, 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.359 which had been previously reported. He's missed just a litany 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.280 of games over the last couple of weeks. It's crazy. Luis, 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.880 your boy, Luis Surius is expected to be activated off 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.400 finally on Tuesday that you've been waiting for him. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.159 I mean, he's been hurt since Opening Day. Hurt his 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.280 hamstring on Opening Day. It's because I had like just 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.840 put him in a trade to get a third baseman 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.960 to be okay there, and you know I've been starting JD. 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.360 Davis in that spot the whole year. 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.040 So the Twins places Joey gallow on the ten day 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.720 IOH with left hamstring strain. That'll I don't know what 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.120 that's going to open up. By the way, I haven't 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.120 seen the corresponding move of what they're going to do. Also, Royce, 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.320 did you see Royce Lewis in the head thing. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.880 I feel like the twins have had no I didn't 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:47.960 see the head thing. I don't think. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.560 I feel like they've had thirty seven active players all 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:55.240 year long, Like you know, then they activated Carolov, then 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.199
