This is 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.040 like a guaranteed playoff week. I just want to point 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.800 that out. I feel like we've been had some nebulous 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.240 like wall. The playoffs could start here, they could start 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.159 over here sometimes the two everyone's in the playoffs. If 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.199 you're still around, if you're still listening to Fantasy Baseball, 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.320 you're in the playoffs. So, Bubba, how is your playoff push? 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.400 Your best ball push or roto push? How is it 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:55.560 all going right now? 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.240 It's going? Well, it's a grind. 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.720 I'm like, my draft and hold teams were great, and 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.760 they're just trying to put a lineup together that's not injured. 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.240 Right now is the fun part there? That same with 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.160 best balls, but we're grinding fab fab was fun this week. 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.040 We'll talk about that because some key players we lost 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.360 and teasing piece of them. But yeah, it's fun. It's 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:17.880 the grind. It's like lights at the end of the 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.360 tunnel and just power three for three more weeks. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.759 Yeah, I pushed two. Might I have like three big leagues? 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.080 Two of them pushed on, one got eliminated. There's the 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.960 best ball that you and I are in that you've 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.040 held the first place for the whole damn season. I 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.360 think I'm in third. Maybe maybe I'm four. I haven't 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:35.119 looked in a couple of days. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.560 I look back at that roster and I'm like, I 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.560 wish I had this team every work. So just I 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.240 don't know, well, I don't know how I lucked into 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.280 that one, but that was Yeah, you're just wow. 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.560 But this is a great one right here. Like JP said, 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.760 this is the time of year. It's embrace the Grindeah, 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.920 the peanuts and cracker jacks, No JP knows. You got 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.680 to embrace the grind. That's the baseball is all about, 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.800 and that's what it's all about for you guys, hanging 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.920 out with us and hanging Here's the question of the year. 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:01.120 Question of the Year, September eleventh, Where is Joey p 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.880 Joe is not here? August rolls around, Joe goes away. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.320 I do actually want to try to get Joe on 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.720 for like the last episode, maybe like the Three of 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.440 Us or something like that. But Joe disappears for a 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.600 football season, which was a crazy weekend. I did get 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.520 to see Joe for a little bit. I'll suit it up. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.520 But we are back to baseball. That's what we're here. 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.360 We're back to baseball. We're going to be covering all 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.960 the latest news. We're going to be talking about the 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.440 best bets. We've got some dfs. We're going to be 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.440 getting into really everything we can at best to try 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.639 to prepare you for what's going down and the biggest news. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.799 There's a couple actually big pieces of news here and there, 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.720 prospect related that we found out on Sunday when we 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.520 were giveth Jason Dimingez. We were taketh Jason Dimingez because 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.880 Jason Dimingez has been diagnosed with a torn ucl in 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:55.520 his right elbow that is going to require surgery. Now 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.840 they're saying it's going to be Tommy John. This is 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.280 where things get a little bit confusing. Bubba for rest 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.119 of season. You're done. You're done with Jason Dominguez. Don't 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.959 worry about it. You cut in redraft dynasty, you don't 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.799 do anything. You actually are relatively happy about. 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:11.320 Training us stuff. 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.480 You can except this that in the past, we've seen 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.960 some hitters that have had some Tommy John surgeries and 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:23.040 the perception was six months recovery, you could start to 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.160 hit again, which would maybe lead to Jason Dimingez being 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.400 ready for the start of the season, except Yankees manager 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.640 Aaron Boone told reporters that the recovery will likely be 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:37.040 nine to ten months, which probably puts him out for 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.120 half of the season next year, going to destroy Rookie 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.080 of the year odds, really going to destroy any ability 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.120 to wanting to pick him up. So I don't like, 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.000 I mean, I guess once we know more is where 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.560 we can start to take this approach. But he's not 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.680 going to be a target or draftable if he's going 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.160 to be missing the first half of the year. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.640 No, he's basically going to be like this past year, 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.920 we got Bryce Harper, we got Trevor's story, like probably 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.920 more of the Harper Rock because Harper was thinking mid season, 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.560 so we're expecting from him, and he saw on drafts 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.960 where people that wanted to take the risk took him 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.400 other drafts, he just fell and fell and fell, And 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.120 I didn't get any shares of Harper and I want 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.960 to have any shares of Domingos. It's just it's a shame. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.320 We enjoyed the week He was my home run call 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:17.040 over the weekend. 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:18.320 Yeah, like it was. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.239 The kid was amazing to watch and to see that happen. 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.920 But he's so young, it makes sense. Go get the 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.279 full surgery, don't don't mess around with the brace, don't 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.599 do like to get the surgery, see what happens, and 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:29.280 hopefully we get. 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.480 Him for re least a couple of months in twenty 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:30.920 twenty four. 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.720 Yeah, So, like I suppose there might be some This 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.839 is what stinks is like we were talking about, you know, 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.280 I was talking about him being like a top one 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.240 hundred guy. You know, he could potentially be a top 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.440 one hundred player drafted next season. Now you're at the 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.839 point of like maybe you draft in stash, you know, 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.760 you draft him, you put him on your il and 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.479 then you just hope everything comes back into full recovery 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.440 and that, you know, I just wonder what that's going 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:55.800 to do to where he was going to be in 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.640 the lineup, Like the dude is hitting three. I think 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.480 there was a legit shot we could have been seeing 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.080 him hit three next season. Now it's going to be 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.120 like slower recovery time, rehabs, stants and everything. So I 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.120 don't know. I think it's brutal. But the giveth, the 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.360 true giveth, is Jason Dominguez taken away by the baseball gods. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.719 They bring us Pete Crow Armstrong. He has he is 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.040 finally here, he has risen. I've been waiting for him. 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.320 I've been calling this all season. This has been one 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:25.600 of my favorites. Twenty homers in the Miners, thirty seven 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.000 in a row, stolen bases tw eighty nine at Double A, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.960 two seventy one at Triple A, had a mirrored nine 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.359 percent walk right up both stops. His k's did pop 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.800 up a little bit in Triple A, but I mean 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.640 he fell just short Bubba of one hundred runs, he 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.280 had eighty eight RBI. He did this all in roughly 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.120 one hundred and seven games in the Miners, He's now 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.400 gonna come up as the Cubs are pushing. I think 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.960 they lost the series to the Diamondbacks. They're pushing, They're 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.039 going to get him in the lineup. I am a 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.400 huge fan of Pete Crow Armstrong. I thought this has 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.520 been one of the guys that you wanted to look at. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.240 I think he's been criminally underrated, simply because there were 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:08.000 so many prospect people that were like, ah, there's nothing there, 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.600 you know, let's find that he can hit, because he 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.560 suffered from a big injury, but nobody early on. I mean, 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.359 obviously it has changed once he started producing for everybody, 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.480 but there weren't a lot of people that were signifying 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.279 what that really good talent was. He had a little 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.360 bit of an inflated ground ball rate at triple A. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.440 His poll rate has been coming down at the last 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.800 three stops, but he hits the ball hard. He makes 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.520 consistent contact, and I'm not sure where your aggressiveness is. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.479 I mean, if you lost amingas you've got to just 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.920 hopefully you could just rinse and repeat with Pete Crow. 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:39.000 That'd be the goal. 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.159 It's a shame this didn't have it on Sunday, so 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.360 you could added him before the Coer series. If you're 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.039 in a weekly format, that would have been fun. We 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.240 will talk more Pete Crow in a later segment, by 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.600 the way, but. 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:50.520 This is a good one. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.480 It is a shame, as Wonky mentioned here, like I 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.440 was going to bring it up. Also is yeah, we 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.440 thought Pete would come up when like the others did 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.400 right before September first, so we postseason eligib books all 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.520 the quotes and everyone's like, oh, they're in a postseason push. 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.000 We want to bring our guy up. 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.440 But it's like, okay, cool, he gets you to the 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.680 postseason and now he can't play for you. So that's 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.040 kind of a weird situation there, but hey, get there 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:12.800 and I guess go dancing after that. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.040 It'd be fun to see what he's got to do. 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:18.040 Definite replacement for Domingos for now, and it'll be fun 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:18.400 to see. 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.080 Yeah, it's kind of like it's stupid, like both the 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.520 Diamondbacks and the Cubs are vying for this wild card spot. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.440 They both bring up the two probably best well I 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.880 shouldn't say best eligible because you know, camin Arrow or 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.080 Cherio or Jackson Holiday, but like the two top prospects 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.720 coming up, and neither one of them are postseason eligible, 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.960 because I just think these were kind of stupid moves. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.600 If you were going to bring the guys up, bring 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.400 them up so they could be postseason eligible, because that 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.720 won't affect their rookie status the playoffs as far as 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:46.400 I know, it shouldn't. 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:46.920 As far as. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.480 Regular season stuff, yeah, I mean, it shouldn't have any 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.560 effect on it. So it's pretty silly. But Pete Crow 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.920 is that guy that you can just kind of pop 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.800 right in. So here's a question. Michael says worth dropping 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.520 any of Kasa's tour. Send Naylor or Naylor for Pete 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.320 Crow Armstrong, not Cossas or Torkalsen. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.480 There's questionable because Naylor hasn't really bounced back since he 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.640 came back from the IL. He was playing really well before. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.040 I still trust Naylor and the complaining time. But if 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:15.440 you want to, if you want to drop Naylor, I'm 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.040 fine with that. I wouldn't do it for Torker costs. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.640 Yes, maybeeah, I agree, maybe Naylor, Like if you're trying 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.600 to chase stolen bases, you just can't drop Tor or Cossas. 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.200 Even if you're trying to chase chase stolen bases, it's 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.080 got to be somebody else. And by the way, that 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.520 is a reminder. Any fantasy questions you guys want, drop 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.120 them below in the chat if you are watching live, 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.520 not on the podcast, and we will try to answer 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.520 them in here. So for all you podcast listeners, you 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.280 still got time to come and hang out and see 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.160 Bubba's beautiful face.

I'm a little disappointed 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:53.240 those little subscribe numbers. When you know football season came in, 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.480 people tapered off. Those numbers kind of went back down. 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.760 We were having Joe, we did Mustache Day, and we 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.920 were gonna have Joe where a big We're far away, 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.800 So just pointing out if you guys want to step 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:03.319 it back up. 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.480 If people want to show up, I don't have a 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:06.040 problem with it. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:07.920 Did you ever see that, By the way, did you 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.760 see one one did? 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.880 Like a I saw a photoshop of Joe and a 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:12.800 wig and the whole thing. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.200 Yeah, well there's a photoshop. But Joe and I did 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.320 Mustache Day where when we hit fourteen thousand that, yeah, 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.800 we shaved and we did. I've got the picture out there. 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.959 It's it's pretty magnificent. My wife just discuss her. It 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:28.679 absolutely discussed her because she's not a mustache person. So 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.560 Pete Crow, I think he sits in the world similar 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.439 to a lot of these prospects. I mean, listen, Joe 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.000 Lawler's not working out. He's hitting like under one hundred. 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.440 He has gotten some higher opportunities in the lineup. There's 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.120 bad adjustments. So this is kind of what we talked about. 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.839 If these prospects show the early signs of hitting, I 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.200 don't think there's enough time to adjust, so great. If 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.240 they don't, you move on. Lawler's probably not doing it 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.280 to a level where we're comfortable, so you can move on. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.199 I would move off of Lawler for Peek Crow to 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.679 see what he does. But I think Pete Crow toes 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.880 the line of the of the five outfielder twelve team 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.559 team right now. If you're trying to go with it, 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.720 and we'll answer any other questions that people got, let's 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:11.360 go next up. 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:12.199 This one was crazy. 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:19.240 So yesterday Corbyn Burns pitched eight hitless innings. Devin Williams 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.680 then comes in works A, one, two, three. Those are 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:22.400 still hitless. 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:23.320 By the way, the. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:27.040 Yankees had two on in the tenth against Abner Uribay 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.160 Volpi hits a drive freelick, he makes this crazy catch 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.440 boom he knocks out like lights on a video board. 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:40.120 Milwaukee is two outs away from the first eleven inning 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.400 no hitter in Major League Baseball, and then Oswal Cabrera 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.400 comes in. He screws everything up. It's done. But we 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:52.120 had almost eleven innings of no hit ball, which is 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.440 an insanely incredible feat. Any thoughts on that, and maybe 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.520 more so how Corbin Burns is kind of ending out 0:10:58.600 --> 0:10:59.360 the year right now. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.800 It's very very impressive to be no hit for that 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.600 long and then not win the game, so that that's 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.680 fun as well. But yeah, Burns has been very good, 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.959 and I've been, uh, I guess not the biggest Burns fan. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.840 I've always said he's been good. I think he gets 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.439 over overrated at times when there's other pitch Like I 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.280 just think Freddy Peeroult is pitching better than him in 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.000 the second half of the season, and I get a 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:22.400 lot of pushback on that because people. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.640 Just Burns lovers Woodrof was kind of pitching better. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.880 Yeah, that's I think because Bloomfield and I did it 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.560 a couple of weeks ago, and we rated him ourselves 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:30.640 per Alta Woodrift Burns. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:31.599 That's how we did it. 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.360 And then we did a poll online and it was 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.439 complete opposite Burns, like eighty percent all the way. So 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.400 I'm still I'm thinking Burn's pitching great. I'm really curious 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.280 to see where he goes this offseason. It's not gonna 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.199 be Milwaukee. No, they're not gonna pay gone. Yeah, so 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.040 that'll make it interesting as well, because he's finishing strong, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.000 he's gonna make some more cash. He's making fantasy people 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.360 happy when it matters the most. He just he's just 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.480 not as dominant as he was to get the high 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.360 draft cost of it. But that's kind of what I'm 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.400 trying to say. He's not that dominant guy anymore. 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.880 Yeah, by the way, it'll be like the Dodgers, he'll go, 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:02.960 you know, because the Dodgers are a disaster right now. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.360 It's well, we just don't they need pitching so bad. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:07.880 We'll talk about them later on the show too. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.840 But I've been it seems every time I do an 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.599 update show kind of like this for my other on 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.600 what stuff, here's a new dodger or pitcher going down 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.240 or I knew this, or that it's insane. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:17.320 What has happened to the rotation? 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.680 Yeah, by the way, that that appearance at eleven almost 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.920 eleven hitting inning no hitter was the fourth time a 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.800 team was no hit into the eleventh and then one, 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.480 and the first since the Mets did it in nineteen 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.400 sixty five. So I thought that was an interesting note 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.760 that I believe that was according to ESPN, uh the Angels. 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.880 Apparently here's a report the Angels are open to trading 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.200 Mike Trout if he wants out. This is a report 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.280 that was on ESPN, and I think Trout was it 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.600 kind of talked about like let's just see what happens 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.160 into the offseason, which to me says trade me, which 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:53.719 means get me the hell out of here. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.599 But that means is show hey back or not? 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.800 Yeah, well show he is like clearly not back right now. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.680 So not to spend too much time on it, because 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:03.880 you know, what expectation do we have of Mike Trout 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.000 even the rest of this season? But do you think 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.040 Mike Trout is going to request a trade from the 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.840 Angels and this team just completely is dismantled. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:12.680 Yes. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.800 Yes, actually, Jeff Ericson said it best that the Angels 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.640 are on the path of being the next Oakland Athletics 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.960 minus in the new stadium problem that the way they're 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.640 running this team, Trout's gonna be gone. The fun part 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.960 is going to be. His contract goes through twenty thirty one, 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.959 seven more years basically, and it's about thirty five to 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.200 forty million year, So the Angels will have to trade 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.280 him and take on cash, which will make it even 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:36.959 more entertaining. 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:37.880 So he's gone. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.040 Trout will be gone, Yes, but how this all works out, 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.080 the Angels are gonna find way to screw this up 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:43.400 even more. 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.360 I have a feeling, yeah, I mean the problem is 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.439 why I think this will be so tough is like 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.680 they got to win. They got because the Angels they 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.360 don't win. They don't win in trades, they don't win 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:52.920 in baseball. 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:54.640 Yeah, and they're gonna screw it up something. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.199 They don't win in free agencies. So they got to 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.000 find a team that would be willing to like send 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:00.839 out a pack. They go to get something like the 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:01.760 Sodo package. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:03.199 You know what I mean. They got a problem with 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.319 the problem with Trout is he's not the same Trouts. 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.120 He can't stay healthy like still went healthy, amazing player, 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:09.920 but I say when healthy for a reason, he's never 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:11.040 like fully healthy. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:11.440 It's great. 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.320 Yeah, it's just like teams will still treat The Angels 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.959 are gonna probably like I'm telling you, I think it's 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.520 the Padres package. It's got to be like two future stars, 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.680 even if there is a ton of money attached, Like 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.200 they're going to have to figure out what to do 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.160 to throw money at. They've got to get like an 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:28.600 Abrams and a McKinsey core. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:29.480 You know, they have to get. 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.560 You see the Yankees dealing like I don't think they 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.680 deal Jason, but could they deal a couple of their 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.920 big prospects for Trout to throw him with gian Carlo 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.520 and judging all them, Yeah. 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.240 I could see. But I think they might be worn, 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.760 like they they kind of also showed us with them 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.080 not being aggressive in trading and stuff like that that 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.760 I think they're worn from taking on the like Trout 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.440 is exactly one of those type of players. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.840 So I'm I'm curious. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.280 I really don't know. I mean, is there a team 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:55.080 that jumps out to you. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.520 I think I'm curious because it's the financial part that 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:58.400 does it. To me. 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.040 The prospects you're necessary, So you think money, you think Mets, 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.920 but that's just been a disaster. It's tough to pinpoint 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:07.920 a team that's going to spend the cash to bring 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.160 him in type situation. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.480 That would make a lot of sense. So we'll we'll 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:11.160 get to speculation. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.360 You see, whoever doesn't get show, hey probably goes after 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:13.960 Mike Trout. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.760 Angela says Trout to the Savanna Bananas. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.200 I'm sure Savanna Bana should face the Angels. I actually 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.600 said that on a recent show, that would be fun Well. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.760 The difference between the A's and the Angels is the 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.360 A's have minor leaguers in their system that are. 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:30.120 Worth actually like Butler, Lewis I think is Lewis Butler 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:30.880 right through outfielder. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.520 He's la Lawrence Lawrence, Lawrence Butler. 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.520 He said after that two home run game last week 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.240 that hey, we might not be, you know, great record 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.000 wise right now, but we're young, and we're talented. We're 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.800 gonna be pretty good and starting next year. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.520 Like fun Well, I mean, his buddy Denzel Clark is 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.120 still in the city. I mean, they've they've got quite 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.040 a few guys that are still kind of looming around 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.720 in that system. So you know, it's nothing to like 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.400 that team is not good, but they're working through with 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.800 some pieces that you know they're gonna get their s. 0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:59.400 I mean, Tyler soteris from his back up, he looks 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.000 pretty good. Glof has worked out a couple other on 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.920 the big note pieces. Pablo Lopez struck out a career 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.800 best fourteen batters, went eight scoreless in the against the 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.800 Mets on Sunday, and Pablo just continues to pop off. 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.200 Cole Reagans everybody loves Cole Reagans only went five and 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.800 two thirds and he lost the strike zone. I think 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:23.120 he had three, yeah, three straight insanely crazy pass balls, 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.200 gave up two earned runs, could not complete the inning. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.480 He ended up having six though still the performance still 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.480 had sixteen swing and whiffs. The distribution is wild. I 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.200 mean he had multiple whiffs on every single pitch he 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.960 through double digit percentage of the time. His csw was 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.720 pretty low, twenty six percent lower than it had been, 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.720 but his fastball still up up a mile and a 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.320 half on the season average, which is still a little 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.960 bit janked from like the beginning of the year. But 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:53.920 up a mile and a half. The cutter was up 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.000 over a mile per hour. This was a little bit 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.960 more reality, I suppose for people. But Cole reagans after 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.600 that performance, is there any trepidation moving forward on that? 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:05.760 Not for now? 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.639 He went full Ricky and kill for a second there, 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.280 which was scary. But I think I think we're good 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:11.680
