That of course is 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.480 Scott Bogman, and I could see in the chat Bogs. 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.040 I guess people consider us fashion icons. People were guessing 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.680 what shirt we were wearing the leading money basically, was 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.360 you wearing the red polo today? 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:30.040 Oh? 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.960 Yeah, that's usually my uniform. But we're going We're going 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.600 Johnny Cash today, all black. So I like that, the 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.120 man in black, and it's great to have Bogman here. 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:42.320 Welsh is out there getting multiple illnesses from the water 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.639 park for the rest of the afternoon, so I told him, 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.000 I said, you know, get sure you get some monachos 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.879 and a margarita and a whole thing of penicillin. 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.880 I think, right, and a bucket just to carry around. Right. 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:58.360 Yeah, it's unavoidable. You know, it's a great cruise. 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.680 A cruise I feel like a little more dangerous, but 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.520 I probably okay, a. 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.440 Little more legionaires diseasy? Is that a is it a phrase? 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:09.160 Yeah? 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.080 I just made it up. But we got a lot 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:12.800 of baseball to get to today, so Bogs and are 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.800 going to break everything down from last night look ahead 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.120 to today's action too. And it's June first, So again 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.440 another a demarcation in the season another time. Now we 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.440 are two thirds a third of the wax excuse me, 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.240 officially through the baseball season. So that is again when 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.680 you start evaluating your teams and seeing what's working and 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.160 what's not. It was fun to see lance Ln not 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.880 working again. I have to say because I was pissed Bogs. 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.800 I dropped that bomb a couple of weeks ago after 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.760 defending him in draft season, and then what happened. He 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.559 put out his best two starts and I was saying 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.640 some choice words. They might have had some expletives in it. 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.280 And then last night, to your rescue, Joe, I'm yes, 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.760 he made he made lance Lin look like a goofall 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.120 like he has most of this season. And you know, 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.480 I mean in a regular league, you can probably just 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.280 go ahead and toss him aside. Not that he can't 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.880 put it back together, but I mean, just by what metric? 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.280 What are we going on? Where's the positive? I don't 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:09.720 know where it. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.400 Is well, speaking of shoe Heel Tani, let's talk about 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.560 shoe Heel TONI and the not one but two homers 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.000 he had off Lancelin yesterday, so that's good news for me. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.760 They crushed the White Sox twelve to five. That's what 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.600 you want to see and Otani. This is the time here, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.400 folks too, where you know when Otani starts to have 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.920 these big games. And we're talking about this on the 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.360 Twitter verse. Yesterday I was in a conversation with our 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.200 own Ryan Warmly and of course Mike maher my favorite 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.600 person of the universe, and we were talking about, you know, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.080 the Otani wagering on Twitter, and I said, yeah, Mayor 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.040 made the joke that you know, once it turns February one, 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.320 Joe makes all these investments in Otani and I do. 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:46.520 But this year I was very specific. So you got 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.360 to watch these games. Now, if he has a run 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.600 where he hit has like a smoking hot June, you 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.679 might want to consider cashing out because the risk of 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.080 him getting Delta the National League. To me, Bogs is 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.240 just too great of a possibility. And I think you 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.760 take your money in, whether it be for Cy Young 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.920 or more importantly MVP, which is already in the negative 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.080 basically for most sites. 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.040 Okay, like I I understand what, I understand. 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.120 You I missed you. I missed when I say things 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.200 like that and you go, eh. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.120 All right, look man, I mean, look, it's gonna take 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:22.120 a trade for Otani would be like, what does that 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.399 even look like? Like they were talking about on MLB 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.440 Network yesterday, they were talking about how much he's gonna 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.160 make on his next contract, said six hundred million is 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:34.040 probably what he's gonna get. Because if you combine Prout's contract, 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.360 which is what he does with like I think it 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.840 was like Verlander's contract or somebody, it was just absurd 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.320 what he would get. And so if you're gonna have 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:44.920 to pay him that much, what do you have to 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.560 give up to get him? It's like an entire system. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.120 So I don't know who's gonna be willing to give 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.520 up the top five prospects. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:56.880 Yeah, okay, well. 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.520 He's gonna pay him and number two. They've got the 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.360 prospects to do it. And they got a prospects. They 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.320 can choose either Baby or Viento's one of those two 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.320 third base prospects. They can put Mauricio and bite the 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.840 bullet with him because I've got Lindor, so really, typically 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.600 you don't want to do that. Jet Williams is another 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.800 big prospect. They have a couple pitching prospects there too, 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.080 the mets of the one built for it, and they 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:17.760 have the will to do it, which I think at 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.640 the end of the day, it takes the ownership's will 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.800 to do it. I don't. I think the Dodgers are 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.720 in it too, But the Dodgers, it would have to 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.840 be Bobby Miller, it would have to be Miguel Vargas, 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.840 it would have to be like that kind of a package. 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.440 And I don't know if they're structured the way they 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.479 want to be to move all those guys, like that's 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.320 gonna be a very top heavy team. It's gonna be Mookie, 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.040 it's gonna be Freeman, and it's gonna be Shoeyotani. Because 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.760 they also got Kershaw. Wondering how much longer he's gonna pitch. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.360 I know he's been great this year, but we were 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.360 all kind of like, oh yeah, maybe kershawill throw another year. 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.400 He looks like a young but I don't know how 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:48.640 much long are you're gonna go at it? 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.640 I think every everyone has had the day dream of 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.560 what if Otani was on my team? And I think 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.000 you just did it out loud to a bunch of people. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.400 So it's a realistic dream for you if you're a 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.760 Pirates fan or Diamondbacks fan, or you know, there's nothing out. 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.280 Of I see Beef Curtains is trolling me in the 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.160 chat such a Mets fan. Tried and true, Tony doesn't 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.080 want to play for that loser franchise. I don't blame 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.400 him if he doesn't want to play for that loser franchise. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.680 I don't loser franchise. I'm just telling you this loser 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.920 franchise has the guy with the biggest payroll who has 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.400 you know, wants to swing it around basically, and I'm 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.240 telling you right now he doesn't care. Mitch Keller also 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.440 doesn't care about your feelings. Now. I got the strikeouts, 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.200 but he didn't get the earned runs number, which was shocking. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.279 He's been fantastic, so four runs and six intings, so 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.960 it wasn't quite stellar as usual for Mitch Keller. But 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.840 he's got ninety strikeouts now before June first box, can 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.120 we do you just all drink that in? 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.159 Mitch Keller can anyhow someone that should be traded. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.240 I mean, I know the Pirates are playing great, but 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.599 come on, man, like, how long is that gonna last? 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.640 You know, it's like since O'Neil Cruz went down, they've 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.200 gotten so much better, which is weird, but I don't. 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.000 Know, it is weird. Yeah, they lose their best player 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.200 and all of a sudden they're like a contender. Here's 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.960 a fun fact, though, there's only one other Pirates pitcher 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.880 to ever have ninety strikeouts by June first, and it 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.000 was in twenty thirteen. So if the Peanuts and Cracker 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.200 Jacks can name that Pirates pitcher. 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.120 Oh, I think that's got fun thing, all right. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.520 Well, don't don't spoil it when the kids guess. Hey, yeah, 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.960 like when the kids guess around things. Josh Nailer four 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.840 for five with two run homer, six ribbies and a 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.440 steel What a knife for Josh Naylor For the Guardians. 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.640 Anthony Santandero, who we were talking about as a by 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.120 low a few weeks ago, Well that ship is sailed. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.919 He had another homer yesterday and he did he was 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:37.000 seen by the way drinking from the dongbong once again. 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.080 So the dongbong was in full action. That of course 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.120 is Mike Mayer. Oh no wait, it's Ryan Mike Malcastle 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:47.280 drinking from the dongbong. But just terrific. You know, Santanterra's 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.240 just been brilliant in the month of May. Now we 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.320 see if he can continue in June. Siria Ruiz has 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.240 his major league leading twenty eight steals. Bugs. We're June first, 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.520 and the guy's got twenty eight steals? Tell me, is 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.039 it nineteen eighty two? Because it was like nineteen eighty two. 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.760 Yeah, yeah, Now I'm the greatest of all time. 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.160 Yeah, I mean, Ruiz feels like he's gonna steal one 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.240 hundred this year. I mean looks like it's gonna be 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.559 better than eighty, which hasn't happened in a while as well. 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.720 So I like it. I like the stole and based uff. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.280 Of course, you know, my team, the Diamondbacks, is the 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.760 fastest team in the BIGS. It feels like right now. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.240 So you know, Corbyn Carroll, he had the little knee 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:30.720 injury earlier in May, but he has been swiping NonStop recently, 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.400 so yeah, Akunya has been stealing him. I like, I 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.840 feel like I like baseball more when we see a 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.000 bunch of swipes, it feels more Ah. 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:43.200 It feels more intense. The pace has been great, and 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.360 you want to see the athleticism in the game, because 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.280 I think it got stripped out of it basically over time. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.520 I mean, especially last year. The stone based totals were 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.280 so low last two years compared to what they were 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:54.960 in the past. You go back and watch. I remember 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.400 during pandemic, MLB Network was showing all those like old 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.440 games from the eighties, and it seemed like no matter 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:03.000 who was on first, there was a possibility drum steel Base. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:04.640 Yeah, at least dancing over there. 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.160 There was at least something going on, and the picture 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.840 had to care about it. And you just completely saw 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.160 that taken out of the game. I'm so glad that 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.560 it's back now. In all fairness, the answer to the 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.560 trivia question, Mike Mayer did guess at first, but I'm 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.440 not going to acknowledge him on the program, so instead 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.040 we're going to give it to it. No, it's not 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.840 Dylan Cole, It's not Cole for Dylan Love it is. Indeed, 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:28.360 Michael got it right. Michael Impo Burnett was the guy 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.840 to do it, and that also had seven hundred walks 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:31.600 in those. 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:34.959 That sounds exactly correct. 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.160 I used to draft Burnett every year because of all 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:39.480 the strikeouts your pile up. 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.080 Yeah, well, didn't he throw a I remember at one 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.600 point he threw it was a no hitter for Miami, 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.960 wasn't it? It wasn't Miami we threw the no hitter for? 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:49.920 Or was it with the Pirates? I remember he threw 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.280 no hitter and he walked like seven guys in that game, 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:52.959 or six guys. 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:54.679 I mean, that sounds right. 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:59.040 I just remember Edwin Jackson's eight walk no hitter against 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.760 It was close to that Rays when he had one 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.720 hundred and fifty eight pitches or whatever. 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.360 Aj Hinch trash. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.880 Let's talk about one of guys for your Diamondbacks. Sawmy Henry? 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.200 How about Tommy twenty five year old lefty. He's got 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:18.000 a three seven six ERA, seven strikeouts and seven scoreless frames, 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.120 so high on both career highs on both. Now he's 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.600 only got twenty five k's and forty innings, so obviously, 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.360 you know, I don't know if this is what we're 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.240 expecting for him, but you know, with the Brandon Fodd 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.280 experiment kind of going south quickly, what are your thoughts 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.480 on Tommy Henry sticking around this rotation. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.440 Yeah, I don't know. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:40.000 Like Tommy Henry has proven that he's good enough to 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.640 stick around. I don't know if he's a fantasy asset though, 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.840 But I mean the Rockies are. 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.920 Terrible, dude, are still. 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:50.760 The Rockies? 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:51.000 Man? 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.520 Yeah, they get out of Colorado, they have a hard 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.520 time hitting. And that's exactly what happened last night. The 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.640 pitching is trash. I mean, they're so bad in the 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.600 the rotation right now. Show that Donaldson Lamet came off 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.640 the IL as a reliever and they pushed him into 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:06.400 a starting role. 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.720 So you know, it's just uh. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.439 I feel like Tommy Henry had a great start last night, 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.520 but it was against the Rockies. So if you can 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.160 get him against weak opponents, great, But I'm not throwing 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.320 him out there against anybody hot or anybody good. 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.800 I was right. It was in two thousand and one. 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.600 He was against the San Diego Padres, and AJ. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.000 Everybody knows how good the Padres were. No one, they 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:27.760 were right. 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:32.680 And here we go. It was nine he walked nine 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.360 guys struck out seven, walked nine in his no hitter. 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.640 I remember that line going that's the most improbable, impossible thing. 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.400 I've ever seen. Padre's actually might have been pretty good. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.480 And I was gonna say they were really good aund 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:42.840 that time. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.840 That was actually, yeah, it was. It was the next 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.600 twenty years after that until the years right after. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.520 Was it the ninety nineteen what was really good? 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.320 And yeah, they went to the World Series and got 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:54.760 swept by the Yankees, right right? 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.439 That was the Ken Keman Eddy years of the sand Yeah. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.559 Yeah, Trevor Hoffman, Trevor how Offman and. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.640 All those guys there. Louis Varlin had seven Squirrels innings 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.600 with five k's as well. And James Paxton, well, he's 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.240 been frustrating. He's like great or terrible. Eight strikeouts for 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.040 him over five innings last night. It's a classic Paxxton line. 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.360 I'm sure next week it'll be four innings and five 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.439 earned runs in the next start. But we'll see what happens. 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.760 But let's continue on here with the injuries. Carlos Rodona 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.600 is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, so I guess, 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.240 I guess at this point it's gonna give you a 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:31.439 number ten starts over under. Carlos rodon got under under Still. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.080 I love Carlos Raddan. He's great talent. But I was 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.400 a couple of years early. Actually. I think last year 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.080 I might have just been one year early on the 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.120 injury worry for Corlins, for done. And this was all 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.520 stemming back to when the White Sox wouldn't give him 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.560 a contract, wouldn't give him anything, you know. So I 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.680 don't know, man, I just I fear for that guy 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:49.640 staying on the field. 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.600 Yeah, I mean I thought he had turned a corner 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.560 last year. I really did. I thought, you know, it's 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.440 san Franny looked really good, and I was like, Okay, 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.640 maybe this guy's just figured it out. And lefties sometimes 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.839 they take a little longer. Historic We've seen that happen 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.600 to some talented guys because he was a great college pitcher, 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:04.760 you know, he was one of those guys and he 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.959 felt like, Okay, this guy's gonna get it and get 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.600 it right away. And he never did a good picture. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.880 But I can't stay on the field. I can't say it. 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.000 Look it's a great picture. Gien. Carlos Stanton hamstring issue 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.600 is rejoining the Yankees. I had a Friday season opener 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.920 against the Dodgers in LA so that's gonna be fun. 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.640 I was watching a thing too that I didn't realize. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:23.880 I caught this in one of the reels. It might 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.400 even be one of you sent me that gian Carlos 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:26.440 Stanton was a punter. 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.679 It might even yeah I sent you that one. 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.960 Yeah, Yeah, I didn't realize it was a punter and 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.360 apparently amazing at it. 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:34.560 Yeah. They said he played strong safety. 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:35.160 He was great. 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.120 He played I think wide or something wide receiver, that's 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.680 what it is. So he was great there too. But 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.080 I can't remember who it was. It was some movie star, 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.439 some editor guy. Yeah, some actor guy who said I 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.200 thought he's gonna go to the NFL as a punter 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.480 because he would boom it eighty yards. And I always 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.680 liked that Joe piece of piaz theory on why gian 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.000 Carlos Stanton is always hurt. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.360 It's because he's too fit. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:05.199 He's too way too stiff because of it, and he thout. 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.440 I want you to think about this, if you go 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:08.959 back in the day and you watch these guys way 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:09.600 one hundred. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.000 Don't remember Bartolo. 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.160 I remember I remember Bartola Gol making thirty five starts 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.920 every year during two hundred and forty that's all I remember. 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:19.800 Yeah, with three different families. 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.640 They go play baseball for six months and then go 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.680 work at Ace Hardware for the next three months before 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.679 it was training again. Like you know, like I think 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.679 it's I think there's something to be said for overtraining. 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.360 I do, And I think that's why you get so 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.320 many muscle tears and poles of these guys nowadays, because 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:38.319 I think they're they're training them they're training the muscles 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.040 for the activity instead of training the muscles by doing 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.840 the activity. I just think that's that's the core problem, and. 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:46.720 That's what you need to do. Stan. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.959 You need to go help people find drywall screws on 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:53.920 Aisle eight in the off season, working at ad instead 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:54.559 of working out. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.440 Aaron Boone totally looks like he works at Ace Hardware. 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:04.080 Like he's definitely a guy regional manager. Move all this stuff. Yeah, 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.920 he's like, now we've we've moved all the hardware sections. 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.200 One the light bulbs or in another plays or you 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.959 go down one eye. My favorite thing is you always 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.160 go down that one isle at home depot and if 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.640 that person doesn't work in that aisle, they have no 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.559 idea where anything. It is, like, look, can I. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.920 Get a hold on their phone. Hold on what was 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:21.280 it called? 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.200 You know where hoses are? I'm in, I'm in, Uh, 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.680 I'm in light fixtures. I got nothing here. Oh I 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.800 can tell you about all the light fixtures. I have 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.760 no idea where nails are. I got nothing. That is 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.320 the worst. I hate that. By the way. Uh, Anthony 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.640 Rizzo was out again with the next issue, So keep 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.320 an eye on mad in those day to day leagues. 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.520 MRI and Michael Conforto's heel came back clean on Wednesday. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.000 That's good news. Jose Alvarado U thirteen pitch live batting 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.600 practice session, so we'll monitor that. Alec Bohm under what 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.760 the MRI wednesday on his hamstring. They can ill afford 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.280 the Phillies to lose another corner Kai because Bohm has 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.640 been playing some first base for them after Hall went down. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.600 Like they really they're in a spot where they better 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.360 make a deal for another corner ish kind of guy, because. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.640 It feels like they need to Bryce. Can you just 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.920 stand on first and catch the ball. We want to 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.680 ask you to throw it at all. You can underhand 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.640 it if you need to throw it, it's fine. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.840 By the way, Mayor said It's one hundred percent true. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:19.560 People tell their cell phones to see. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.080 Whats Yeah, I mean it's happened every time I've gone 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:23.000 home depot, so. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.520 They do it. Lows any of that stuff. So funny. Also, 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.920 this is very big news. Justin Steele is going to 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.000 undergo an MLR and has left forearm Thursday. 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.640 Anytime you hear forearm, and it's usually not great, but. 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.960 Yes, the forearm is always a terrible thing, and I 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:43.080 love it. This is David Ross's quote. Manager. We're not 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.680 sounding any alarms yet. Really really, yeah, we're not. And 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:47.120 it's a show. 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.320 We're standing next to the button and ready to hit it, 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:50.680 but we're not sounding it yet. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:54.680 Oh I'm sounding the alarms and everyone's saying AI because 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.000 every time I bring up any thing or talk about that, 0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:59.840 all of a sudden weird things happen to the evening. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.600 Happened twice now and it's really hilarious. By the way, 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.760 did you ever catch our did well sharing our AI 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.040 lasagna making experience. 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.280 Going yes, yeah, yeah, I think you both shared that 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.160 to me that was because it upsetting. 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.240 Yeah, I don't like you guys. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.400 Yeah, that's are playing well though, making some lasagna, hitting 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:25.520 some beating the Phillies. According to Joe, here's the other 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.400 question too, when it comes to Steele, like it feels 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.040 like that's the end of the Cubs because I feel like, 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:36.440 I know Stroman's been it's been very good. 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.360 Uh yeah, I mean, look, it doesn't help obviously, so 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.640 but I don't know if it's the absolute end. 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.920 So uh, It'll still stick around for a little bit. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.160 But you know that teams are gonna start the injuries 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:51.800 are gonna start piling up for a bunch of teams 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:52.280 pretty soon. 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.400 The best thing we could hope for was steel. It 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:59.200 is some sort of weird like sometimes it's not even 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.720 the forearm. It's like some other thing going on in 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.280 the nightis or something like that. That's the best case scenario, 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.240 but Bogs, it just feels like every time we hear 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:06.880 these things. 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.000 Every time we hear four arm, you know, you clutch 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:10.000 your pearls. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.560 Not the forearm. Here's a fun one too. Julio Tehran 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.440 is still around. He pitched six innings in a win yesterday. 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.440 He only with two guys, So like it, I don't 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.879 know how sustainable this is, but Julio Tehran is back 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:30.199 in baseball and he got a win yesterday against Alec Manoa, 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.240 So that just tells you where Alec Manoa is these days. 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.840 Three up and three down. George Kirby struck out seven 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:40.560 guys in eight innings against the Yankees. Kybrit Ruiz sticking 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.640 it to his old team, the World Organization, not one 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:48.480 but two dingers. Bookie Betts crushed on the prize picks yesterday. 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:52.040 Ye hair of Solo Homers. Beautiful day to be alive. 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.960 The downs. Josh Hader blew a third save of the year. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.560 We already talked about Lance Lin's eight earned runs and 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.760 four innings gross as he already at six point five 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.200 to five, and then there's Alec Manoa. Four innings, three hits, 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.320
