But okay, what's up? Man? 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.440 Happy hump day here on a Wednesday. More importantly, Gregg, 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.960 this is a huge day. You know what today is. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.840 I do know what today is. It is Happy birthday, 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.960 Jimmy Nelson. Happy Jimmy Nelson Day. It's his birthday, returns third. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:05.720 Today he's making raising debut, first start since seventeen we 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.400 are absolutely pumped. Let's just hope that it doesn't end 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.639 the same way it did for Chase Anderson last night, 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:14.960 and you realized there was his birthday too, and he 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.480 makes his debut. I ken, he's thirty here ready. I 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:23.040 know it feels like he's just a prospect. I know, well, 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.120 people forget he had so many years of being a 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.799 failed prospect. Last week saw him seen not a failed prospect. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.880 He went through Let's say the Lucas Geelito turn around 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.960 in seventeen. Greg, Let's see if he if he can 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.440 pick up some of that night against the Morlins. I 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.120 know you're very excited about the prospects, and everybody out 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.600 there are also very excited about the prospects of big 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:51.120 time Jimmy Nelson returning finally for the burs and getting 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.160 into it the day show you the Best Bets Forever. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.440 Coming up a little bit later on, we got a 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.400 lot of news and notes to get to you, a 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.359 lot of game stuff we want to uh talk about, 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.360 as well as giving you some betting and fantasy advice. Frankie, 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.320 let's begin with the latest out of Philadelphia, and that 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.480 means Andrew McCutcheon is out for the season with a 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.639 torn a c L. He got caught in a rundown, 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.200 made a turn, didn't go well, and he is now 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:20.840 out for the rest of the season with the torn 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.120 a c L. He hopes to be back and ready 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:27.839 for spring training. Brutal lost affilities, brutal loss for fantasy owners. Yeah. 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.720 I don't know if people realize this, but Andrew McCutcheon, 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.720 he wasn't having the best year. He was showing signs 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.160 of coming around over the past two weeks. He was 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.760 betting three hundred with four home runs. But he had 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.920 forty five runs scored this season, which was among the 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.680 leaders in all baseball. I think he was like tied 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.320 for fifth or six in the league with Christian Yellot. 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.640 So he's scoring a lot of runs. It's gonna be 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.560 hard to replace that in your lineup. You know, to 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.640 fifty five to sixty batting average gives you a little 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.400 bit of pop. Had ten home runs as well. We 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.400 were about a third of the way through the season, 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.440 so Andrew McCutcheon was on pace four, you know, between 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.800 twenty and thirty home runs, well over a hundred runs scored. 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:05.920 I wasn't running as much. I think that's part of 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.960 the philosophy of the Philadelphia Phillies. You know, Gabe Kapita 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.160 doesn't like to send these guys all that much. But ultimately, Greg, 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.440 it's not going to be the easiest thing to replace 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.520 those the decent pop and those runs scored for Andrew McCutcheon. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.239 But we'll try her best. I put out a poll. 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.880 Put out a poll, Greg, because I own Andrew McCutcheon 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.680 in one of my twelve team leagues. We own him 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.120 together in a fifteen team league as well, where we 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.240 will have to figure this out. But I think a 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.159 lot of the names that we've been getting questions about 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:38.600 how do I replace McCutcheon, Derek Cooper, j Bruce, Visa Garcia, 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.120 Scott Kingery, I think they're all pretty good options. I 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.720 don't know that there's a wrong answer here, Greg, There's 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.960 there's definitely a wrong one there. There's definitely a wrong answer, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.680 because only one of them is going to sustain to me, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.240 you know where Eileen Frank, I'm surprised you're you're even 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.599 questioning were what I'm thinking. I actually have no idea. Really, 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.159 My guests would be that you like Ei Garcia correct 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.919 to tell you might be. Of course, I like Garcia. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.560 He's my guy. He gets on base, he has power 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:09.560 at to the top of the raised lineup. Well, you 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.239 want to talk about sustainability, he has six stolen bases, Greg, 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.120 You're not going to sustain that. More power than that, though, 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:16.760 as long as he's in the line of every day 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.919 I don't really had good great pop though he's always 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.800 been known for his bat to baby batting average, does everything. Well, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.720 you don't want to be baby Miggie. Well maybe last 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.400 night you want to be again, Yeah, right, of course 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:32.280 against Blake Snell of all. How you know with Garrett Cooper, Greggy, 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.520 what he did last night and what he's doing recently 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.719 or for for a home run three runs scored last night, 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.320 And you know, I was tweeting this out drink that 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.839 the Miami Marlins are not the same team that you've 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.359 just been able to stream any starting pitcher against in 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.039 fantasy purposes because with Garrett Cooper and Harold mrs Have 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.800 brought to the table for the Miami Marlins, it has 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.719 turned their offense around. They don't strike out as much, 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.920 they make a lot of contact, they make hard contact 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.720 as well. You know, maybe they're not prominent home run hitters. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.200 I mean, you wouldn't be able to know it based 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.680 on what Garrett Cooper is doing recently. But what Cooper 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.760 and Harold Mrez have brought to the Miami Marlins, Greg, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.400 I don't know that you could just stream every starting 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.039 pitcher against them anymore. So, honestly, I don't really know 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.080 that there's a wrong answer. If I had to, I'll 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.719 tell you there's a wrong answer. I would rank Scott 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.600 can Ree last out of this punge. I agree with that. 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.239 That's what I would do, sure, And I would rank 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.360 at the moment Ja Bruce third at this bunch. Would 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.000 you really, dude, Jay Bruce is one good game? 're 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.960 freaking out? Yeah, but he's a good game also in 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.279 a much better line up now, Greg, shouldna be in 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.040 a much better hitters ballpark, even if we don't expect 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.479 batting average from him. Right, if we get a Bruce 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.760 doesn't back two hundred, what Ja Bruce at time doesn't 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.520 back two hundred? He is streaky a f Yeah he is? Well, 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.600 that might make him better for rohdo then and head 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.680 to head points. But you know, even if he's a 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.480 two forty two fifty hit, the rest of the way. 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.279 He showed you his upside again last night, three hits 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.359 to I didn't need brands him do it left. We know, 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.840 we know what the upside is like. Did you need 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.479 to see that to know? Well? I mean, people see 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.720 the batting average and they automatically assume, well, all right, 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.360 Jay Bruce at this point in his career, just pop, 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.960 he's gonna hurt your batting average. And look, he's not 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.960 gonna help your batting average by any means. But he's 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.080 only two years older than Jimmy Nelson. Is he a 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.640 two twelve hitter? Is he a two twenty hitter? He's 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.640 probably better than that. But his pop, I don't know 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.680 who that he is. You can't argue this, Greg, his 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.520 pop is the best of this group. There's no argument. 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.480 I guess it comes down to what you need. There's 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.680 no argument that his pop is by far the best 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.320 of this group. But if they think, when you're trying 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.800 to replace an Agema Cutching, you want the person who's 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.480 gonna do a little bit of everything, have a solid average, 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.440 give you runs scored, have a little bit of pop, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.120 get some more eyes. Cooper does that too, he does. 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.920 I think you want somebody's gonna be more well rounded 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:52.080 than Jay Bruce. That's what brings me exactly for the 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.720 biggest cutching with giving youth, and I think Cooper and 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.640 Evis Garcia are probably the correct and that's exactly where 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.360 my head's at as well. A right, So if you 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.920 if you just want a close skill set to Andrew McCutchen, 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.360 I wrote about some of my Patreon as well. I 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.480 also mentioned, you know, a short term fix. I think 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.520 Derek Fisher offers something similar. Potentially Andrew McCutcheon can give 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:12.680 you a little bit of power, a little bit of 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.160 speed leading off for the Astros, but that's more of 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.160 a short term answer, whereas I think Garret Cooper and 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.400 Evisio Garcia might be able to help you more long term. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.280 This year, and I saw a lot of people throwing 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.960 out Adam Hazley, the prospect that was called for the Phillies. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.440 To me, he's he's an and it will only add 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.040 right now, nothing more than that fifteen teamers. You know, 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.400 I looked at the minor league numbers. Is the best 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.079 tool is his hit tool, and even that isn't great. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.679 He's been you know, between two seventy and three batting 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.040 average in the minors, doesn't really have a lot of pop, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.800 doesn't really have a lot of speed. Again, like it's 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.600 chief exposure to the Phillies. But I don't really have 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.040 high hopes from Greg so not even in like fifteen 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.680 team Mixed. I'm really desperate for an now Fieler. But 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.080 to me, he's just really and only for now. We've 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.400 spoken about players getting hurt, like Andrew McCutcheon. Now le's 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.360 talk about players coming back. Mike cleving He is going 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.800 to start He's triple a rehab assignment here this weekend. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.480 Great news for cleub owners. Let's say he you know, 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.120 has a few rehab starts, he's gonna be back, right, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:10.920 He's gonna be back for the All Star raak just 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.559 fantastically so last before they All Star break. So great 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.680 news for my Clevinger owners. That's awesome, especially because Jeffrey 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.360 Rodriguez just hit the eye out for Cleveland, who had 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.520 just been battered around and beaten in that starting rotation. 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.880 Fernando Tatis Jr. He starts his rehab assignment. Finally, what's 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.920 supposed to keep him out ten days, It's been more, 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.040 which is annoying, but Tatis looks healthier now and looks 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.040 to be coming back. And zach Eflin, I know he's 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.400 not on the level of the Tatis and not on 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.480 the level of the Clevinger, but zach Eflin was kind 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.920 of out of nowhere put on the i L last week. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.320 He's returning off the IL without a rehab start on Friday, 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.079 making he's returning for the Phillies. Yeah, I think specifically, 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.040 I did want to touch on Fernando Tatis has a 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.960 hit in each one of his rehab games. He returned 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.240 on Monday, and he already has a stolen base as well, 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.400 So that's good to see considering that he was dealing 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.720 with a leg injury, so has hits in both of 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.240 his rehab starts, has a stolen base already as well, 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.040 So you know, it's been a long time coming for Tatis. 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.600 I actually respect the Padres for what they're doing here, 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.079 taking their time with him. You know, top prospect, you 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.160 don't want to rush him back and then risk can 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.360 re injuring himself. You know, we always say this when 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:19.160 it comes to prominent players who can make a major 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.240 impact for Fantasy. We just want the teams to take 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.600 their time do not rust these guys back because we'd 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.280 rather you take the time and have them come back healthy. 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.319 We have them for the long term, especially when it 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.640 comes to Tatis. You know, the last we saw him 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.520 was he was stealing a ton of bases and he's 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.400 got a little bit of pop as well. So we 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.520 need him back fully, and I'm very excited about that. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.720 Another added element to the San Diego Padre's lineup. Hopefully 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.000 he can give them a little bit of a jolt 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:47.120 because a lot of underperforming so far. Uh Manny Machado 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.560 hasn't lived up to it. Frand Milrays continuing to do 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.280 what he does hit home runs, but overall I think 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.240 the San Diego Padre's lineup has been inconsistent, so hopefully 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.640 he can help out there great. By the way, I 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.240 also do what I men came Andrew becussion of his 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.240 tweeting back and forth Florida about this that one of 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.560 the biggest benefactors here. It says that Hernandez, who now 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.880 goes from hitting seventh in this lineup every day, batting 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.760 leadoff potentially every day. Now things could change. Scott Kingary 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.760 could wind up there, Jean Segura could flip flop, a bit, 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.880 but yesterday says that Hernande is back to the top 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.840 of the lineup, which gives him a ton more opportunities 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.400 to score some runs, maybe steal some bags. Really really 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.640 uh like, says, hernand is leading off, very very good 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.720 news for his fantasy owners. Yeah, and he just has 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.719 a better skill set than what Scott Knary offers for 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.120 a leadoff man, because you look at the walk rate 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.240 and he's a Hernandez career at ten point four percent 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.520 walk rate that is down this year to six point 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.280 nine percent. Last year he was up at thirteen percent. 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.880 And I've actually said this on the show before. I think, 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.280 what's he's a Hernandez was doing this here was conscious, 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.520 It's something that he wanted to do because he was 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.600 batting more so in the middle to lower end of 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.120 the lineup. I think he was taking a more aggressive approach, 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.600 trying to drive more runs in. And I think now 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.920 that we'll see him at the top of the lineup again, 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.240 you'll see that more patient approach again and see him 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.719 start to draw more walks and score more runs. So 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.720 the guy is absolutely awesome for O B P leagues. 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.560 It doesn't really hurt you anywhere in Rhodo, but not 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.839 really a standout anywhere either. Really really good for points 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.719 seeds because thirteen percent strikeout rate, gonna get on base, 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.960 gonna score a lot of runs. How about this yesterday, Greg, 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.880 I thought this was really interesting for the Phillies lineup. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.080 Rice Harper was betting second, Jean's the girl was betting third. 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.400 Did we just get capitlerd I think it's a verb 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.040 that just made it. I mean, I get you kapler 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.600 As at his finest to be hold on. I don't 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.240 I don't mind, don't blame, don't don't blame Capitaler for this. Well, 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.199 in the Yankees earlier in the year, remember that right, 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.680 Remember they had they had Great Gardner batting third. I 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.760 didn't like that either. So I mean, I'm not gonna defend, 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.520 but there's a there's clearly I don't know the answer, 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.280 but there's clearly a method behind that. Matnet Well, I 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.400 think the reason why the Yankees did at the time, 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.360 what I thought was they were trying to break up 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:06.800 all their right ees. They didn't want to have too 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.880 many rights in row, and they didn't have a lot 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.280 of lefties. I think it was just you know, Brett 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.880 Gardner at the time, and I think they were trying 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.480 to slot him into the middle of the order to 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:20.640 break up the right ees here for the Phillies. Um, 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.600 I guess the question would be, if you don't bat 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:27.200 Jean Sigura third, if you like Brett Bryce Harper batting second, 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.520 where do you move Jean Sigura too? Because not really 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.800 a prototypical leadoff hitter. Yes he has speed, but he's 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.400 more of an aggressive swinger, doesn't walk as much as 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:41.000 a guy like sees O Hernandez. So where would you 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.520 put Jean Sigura then? I mean, I guess the only 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.240 other spot I see would be six. You would probably 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.880 put a guy like maybe you put Bryce Harper second, 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.920 Reese Hoskins third, Jay Bruce four, Rio Muto fifth, and 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.880 then Jean Sigura six. I don't I'm just talking this 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.400 side in my head right now. They're trying to find 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.360 ways to get it. Is Harper going? I understand it. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.040 And we see this with a lot of batters in baseball, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.480 even a lot of teams best hitters, right, if they're 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.480 really good, uh in terms of plate discipline and and 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.440 and have a good eye, and they walk a lot, 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.760 they'll bat second. We've seen it with Aaron Judge with 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.520 the Yankees, so I can't knock them for wanting to 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.559 do that with Bryce Harper. A little bit of a 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.360 little bit of the moneyball effect here, Greg. They just 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.960 want to get guys on base and keep things. But 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.400 I just thought it was really weird and interesting that 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.480 Jane Sigara was batting third for the Phillies yesterday. So 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.080 see what happens today. We'll absolutely get the lineup as 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.560 soon as we get it at three forty, so we 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.400 might get if we make a show before the show ends. 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:36.600 I look at it right now, make sure I don't 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.040 have it yet. We don't have it yet, all right. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.160 I just wanted to make sure they're we'll have to 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.160 talk about we do. It's a couple of lineups today, 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.960 one of them being the Washington Nationals who lost Brian 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.200 Doser do a hit by the pitch, which gives how 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.920 He Kendrick an opportunity to play every day at second base. 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.880 He's been a fifth in the lineup at second and Frank, 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.040 you've been on how He Kendrick for a while now, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.160 and you say he deserves his playing time. Can I 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:00.840 get the camera over here? Can I get like a 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.240 we'll see these little red these little red dots if 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:05.600 we can zoom in a little bit here this is 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.360 This is the Baseball Savants stat cast page for Howie Kendrick. Basically, 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.000 the more red you see when it's going all that way, 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.600 that's really really good. Like, Howie Kendrick is up there 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.240 with some of the best hitters in baseball right now 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.640 in terms of his exit velocity, hard hit percentage, expected WHOABA, 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.240 expected batting average, expected slogging percentage. I don't know what 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.240 the guy is doing right now, Greg, but it is working. 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.520 Howie Kendrick is seeing the ball well. The eggs of 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.240 velocity way up this year launch angle up has expected 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:41.320 batting average Greg three thirty two. He's in the nine 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:46.880 nine percent. I don't know what Repents and Howie Kendrick 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.160 car doing, but it is working because we're seeing a renaissance. 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.600 And if Brian Dojer misses you know, any extended time here, 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.000 I know you know. I've been at the forefront of 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.800 the Carter Key boom bandwagon. We need Carter Key boom back. 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.880 Brian Doser sucks, but Howie Kendrick is pretty damn good too. 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.520 So if Brian Doser is gonna miss any time here, 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.600 and Howie Kendrick gets consistent playing time. I don't understand 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.920 why he hasn't had consistent playing time already, Like David Martinez. 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.200 This is the problem. We're trying to figure out why 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.000 the Nationals suck. Why don't you just play the players 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.880 who are performing the best. Howie Kendrick is performing like 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.080 one of your best hitters so far this season. So 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.040 play the guy, whether it's at first base or second base, 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.920 or use him at one of the corner outfield positions. 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.720 The guy has been a godsend for the team. He 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.400 has ten home runs, he's betting three thirty one, he's 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.400 got thirty five r b I s as a part 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.640 time player. Play Howie Kendrick, and if that happens, you're 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.000 gonna want to add him in. All the twelve team 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:46.800 leagues are deep. Howie Kendrick somebody roll worth adding right now. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.520 According to our own Frank stand will get in. He's 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.280 not just an old gross veteran. He's somebody very well 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.920 worth picking up. We have a lot to get to, 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.440 Frank from last night, specifically pitching performances with Kendrick and 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.480 Rye making his case for the site up his floor. 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.840 He was tweeting out, Pablo Lopez is just out of 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.800 nowhere in Milwaukee, which was studying aurage of the numbers 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.159 yesterday what he did?

Let's get right 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.000 into this pitching performances because John jan ryou is the 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:51.960 best picture in baseball in en week after week, start 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:56.200 after start a picture ever, No, the dude just puts 0:19:56.280 --> 0:20:02.120 up zeros and last night, once again, he was absolutely 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:07.720 ridiculous for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Um as this lying 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:11.080 you read it out loud. It's seven innings, three hits, 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:16.920 no runs, two k's, hundred pitches over seven innings of work. Yeah, 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.439 he's not one of these guys that you're expecting him 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.840 to get a turn point three five r. Does he 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.320 need it though, Like does he need swinging strikes. It's 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.640 just he's a master of commanding the zone. Right now. 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.520 If you look at his walks per nine, there's zero 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:36.440 point five six On the season. He has five walks 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.520 in eighty innings pitch. That is why he hungine Ryu 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.439 is able to do what he's doing right now. And 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:45.400 you can read me off the peripheral numbers on two 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:49.720 point five four five x five Sierra. That's all. That's 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.919 all good and fine. I mean, no one's expecting hingine 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:53.800 Ryu to pitch to a one three five e r 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.880 A for the rest of the season. Started to rup 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.640 Cork Rosenthal. The Chicago Cubs are pushing hard right now 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.600
