WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off April 25th, 2022 (Ep. 496) 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:18.239 Mister three thousand, let's play ball. Welcome in everybody to 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:22.279 Fantasy Pros. This is leading off right here for you 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.000 every single day, Monday through Friday on Fantasy Pros MLB 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.800 channel on YouTube Live with the Peanuts and Cracker Jackson, 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.520 brought to you by Bet MGM, the King of Sportsbook. 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.839 And with me, of course is the Welsh who is 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.680 gimmicking the broadcast already with a copy of the Fantasy 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.279 Black Book, it appears, which he's hiding behind. One can 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.280 only hope that when he reveals it, it won't be 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.920 the Welsh, perhaps it will be Byron Buxton instead. So 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:47.680 will we get the Birthday Boy or will we get 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.760 the Welsh? Welsh Buxton? Who is it today? 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.760 It's so interesting. I was just reading one of my 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:59.320 favorite pieces of literature from Fantasy Baseball preseason stuff. Something 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.920 I like to do, Joe, is I occasionally will take 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.360 a look in season and I just happened to go 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.920 to UH the Byron Buxton page on the Fantasy Black Book, 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.640 and I found found a mistake in the Fantasy Black Book, Joe. 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:17.319 And the mistake is you didn't have me righte The 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.759 Byron Buxton UH player profile, which should have been done. 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.120 I did write strategy in there, you did, but I 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.600 don't see the wells on the Byron Buckston one. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:28.920 That is that the strategy bucks in one one? Is 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.720 that what you're pissed off about this morning? 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.520 I'm just saying I don't see me writing the Byron buckson. 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.400 That's a huge mistake. You want to know where Byron 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.240 Buxton was in here under solid options? Now to give credit, 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.480 our friend Tuma definitely is a Byron Buxton stand but 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.280 we are not going under solid options for Byron Buckston, 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.520 my friend. We are going under elite RPV options. No 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.360 big deal, just a pretty good week for Byron Buxton. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.040 I know the Peanuts and Cracker Jacks are probably very 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.600 excited for what my take would be on Byron. 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.160 But look, man, hey, you got to ride the wave 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:05.960 while it's here. It's a good bit at number one, 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.320 at number two, he looked great at number three. Uh, 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.840 you gotta enjoy it before he gets hurt again as always, 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.280 because we always know that's always impending and looming it 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.320 all times. But today we're gonna get through some headlines. 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.680 The stat heroes, The stat zero's a little DFS, a 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.720 little wagering, because we do it all here on leading 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.799 off on MLB Channel, on Fantasy Pros, and let's start 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.640 here a little bit of history. My boy, Meggie, Miguel 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.280 Cabrera gets his three thousand hits, So congrats sate him. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.040 Did you see Welsh He's got basically the same amount 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.320 of hits as his entire Tigers teammates combined. I thought 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:39.720 that was amazing for their career. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.320 I by that. I totally buy that Miggy is the best. 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:44.959 You know what's crazy about Miggi too. I don't know 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.519 about you, Joe, but like MEGGI came in Ride, it 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.720 like a really critical time of me caring about baseball. 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.720 Obviously you care like when you're younger and stuff, but 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.200 it's like you mature and you become well kind of 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.799 mature as you know, not really like that mature, Yeah, 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.200 as you get older and like you start to like, 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.640 you know, really follow players and really get Like Mickey 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.440 was in that really critical Marlins time where that you know, 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.799 that team that came up like one Pierre and Craig council. 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:11.360 It was such a great team. He was excited. 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.160 It was very exciting. Josh, Yes, and yeah, three right. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.080 It was great, and he came up in that and 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:18.840 it was like kind of special because it's one of 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.440 those like, you know, like twenty year old kids and 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.280 stuff aren't going to have like a perspective for it. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.160 But when you see guys through their major league debut 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.399 to their retirement, when they're in Hall of Fame, it's 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.160 something that like you know, our dads and grandfathers and 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.520 everything experience in baseball, that we are getting to really 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.440 truly experience these guys that we watched from day one 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.840 to you know, breaking all the records to Hall of 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.720 Fame ceremonies. It's it's it's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy. 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.040 Meggie Si, He's incredible. 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.600 It was a beautiful moment too. And his first hit 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.280 was a home run. His thousandth fit was a home runs, 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.320 two thousands hit was a home run. Unfortunately, now the 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.400 three thousandth hit was a home run, but again, that 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.240 would have been all the kudos to Maggie. I don't 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.120 even know what kudos are. I never understand what that means, 0:03:59.120 --> 0:03:59.640 but I want to. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.360 Give him all ultimate cousins of cooties. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.480 I know, I just love it might be, but I 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.200 love that I love that Miggy has been such a 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:06.720 great hitter for such a long period of time, and 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.440 then there was a few years recently where it felt 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.680 like things were just going in a bad direction. And 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.520 he's kind of found himself a little bit lately, too, 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.280 which is great. I mean, you wanted him to finish 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.440 his career strong. He's a first bout Hall of Famer. Again, 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.400 who the moron is? And you know there's gonna be 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.159 a couple of them who don't vote for Miguel Cabrera 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:22.960 for the Hall of Fame. Send him to my house. 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.000 I could slap him around. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.880 You There will be. Do you really think there will be? 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.680 Like I thought, he didn't vote for Derek Jeter? 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.560 I know, But the Jeter thing, what I don't know. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.240 What about Jeter's career doesn't say hall of Famer? 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:37.240 What? No? I agree? 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.599 He hits a million championships, captain the Yankees, played in 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.000 one spot his entire career. I mean, what, what poar 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:43.480 did that guy? 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.320 I guess I agree with it. I guess I agree 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.960 that because there's always that debate of like, you know, offense. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.000 I don't know, I agree with what you're saying. He 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.000 has three thousand It's just how can anybody do like 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.120 what is going to be the argument on Miguel Cabrera. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.640 It can't even facilitate what it would be. 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.080 There is going to be somebody that doesn't vote for 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.400 migul Cabrera. There's gonna be somebody because we never get 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.560 unanimous guys. We've got one unanimous guy ever, and it was, 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.560 of all people, it was a guy who it was 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.200 a reliever of. I mean, that is such a slap 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:15.880 in the face of the guys who played ninety things. 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.760 I can't I am. I am didn't even think I 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.680 was in a good mood. Now I'm salty about this 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.640 because I know it's gonna happen. So I have to 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.039 wait for five years after Miguel Cabrera's retirement to get 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.039 all pissy about it. But I can get pissy in 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.800 the meantime about Eloya Menez out for six to eight 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.320 weeks with a hamstring injury. Oh my goodness, boy, I 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.200 saw it live. It was going on too. I happen 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:35.919 to be watching a cut in there and I saw it. 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.520 I went, oh, boy, that's a hamsterring. That's gonna be 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.479 a long period of time. 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.720 So you know, all the bucks and stuff that we get. 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.720 He's like floating in that is the exact same territory 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.279 without the crazy upside you know, offensively for like stolen 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.279 bases or whatnot. But it's an elite bat that cannot 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.680 stay healthy DH or outfield. I don't know if it not. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.159 I don't know what you do. I don't know what 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.880 you do. I mean, he's a big body guy that 0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:58.640 can't keep it. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.600 I think I think, I think it's just a bad 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.720 stretch of luck. And honestly, if somebody's frustrated with him 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.840 in a keeper league dynasty format, go get him right now. 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.040 This is your chance. Because last year they waited for 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.200 five months to him forgetting for him to get back, 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.360 and now you're gonna have to wait another two months 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.920 probably to get him back. People get frustrated, and people 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.120 hate to lose, and he's too young of a player. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.200 I would go get him. I mean, Anthony Rondolan was 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:22.719 hurt a ton in his career before he had like 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.080 four or five glorious seasons in his prime. So I mean, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.920 guys can shake this off. Byron Buckston can shake it off. Still, 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.280 there's still time. Who else is shaking it off? Ty 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.200 Franz has shaken off a lot. He's shaken off a 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.360 lot of balls off his bat. He is on fire 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.640 right now. He's been great. John Means unfortunately also things 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.760 not going his way. He's gonna be out for the 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.440 year with Tommy John, this is a picture I have 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.320 zero shares of Welsh. I don't know how you felt 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.120 about Means, but I was staying away from him because 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.839 last year, the injury and the sticky stuff all to 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.080 me was just like a little bit. His run was 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.200 too good to be true, and then it all kind 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:55.839 of fell apart in the second half, and I just 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.520 wasn't buying it. Do you have any shares of John Means? 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.600 It's Baltimore picture. I'm not doing that. I'm not. I mean, 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.560 and baseball Baltimore. I mean John, Like John Means is fun. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.480 They brought back the fences, all work in his favor, 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.960 but like it's Baltimore pitcher. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.920 So no idea. Eric Lower, Holy crap. Thirteen strikeouts for him, 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:21.720 how about that? And of course Byron Buckston seventh homers 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.480 of the seventh and the tenth to lead the Twins' 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.120 longest walk off him run in the stackcast era by 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.080 the way four hundred and sixty nine feet. Did you 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:28.560 know that? Well? 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.320 Tell me? May you know what I did? Because I 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.880 was immediately tweeted about it. It might be my favorite 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.440 big you know what, good or bad? Good or bad? 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.960 My favorite bit might be Byron Buckson this year, whether 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.680 he goes down injured and all of you tweet me 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.240 or he's amazing. And then like some of you that 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.960 want to play on the positive side, not all of you, 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.080 there's plenty of I saw someone in the chat immediately 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:51.960 was like, oh, it took one minute for Byron Buckson 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.960 to be brought up. Plenty of you don't want to play, 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.640 that's fine, But the Peanuts cracker Jacks that want to 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.160 play and have fun on it. I love those tweets 0:07:59.200 --> 0:07:59.480 as well. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.840 Yeah, supposed to be a fun We're making baseball fun 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.440 because it used to be fun and we want it 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.200 to be fun. And if you're enjoying this video, the 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.200 make sure you like it. And of course if you're 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.400 watching us live, go comment because here's one from Eric 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.680 Klantz I've been getting. This is the third Kyle Tucker 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.880 question I've gotten today. Eric Klantz. He wants to know 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.400 trade away Suzuki and Chris Bassett again, Kyle Tucker, I 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.240 take that right. I would say yes to Eric's question here. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.120 I love Kyle Tucker. I still think he's a very 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.600 good player, as good as a pitcher as Bassett is, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.200 and he's very good if you've got the pitching depth 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.160 to give up. I still worry about Suzuki in the 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.520 next five months, way more than I worry about Kyle Tucker. 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.439 Slow start, that's me. What do you say here? 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.000 Yeah, that's a fair point. Like, I don't know, I 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.960 agree with what you're saying with Suzuki, like he's gonna 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.400 come back down to earth. But some of the things 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.240 he's doing creates sustainability throughout the season. Like he's not 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.040 swinging through pitches. He you know, he's taking the balls, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.839 he's swinging at the strikes, he's making good contact, he's 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.559 running a decent amount. The thing is, though, is Kyle 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.520 Tucker is exponential, say as Suzuki. So if you if 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.400 you believe Kyle Tucker is washed, then you don't make 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.840 this trade. But if you believe Kyle Tucker can regain form, 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.560 which I think we all do. Yeah, I mean that's 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.360 that's a that trade makes sense. It really does. 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.720 Yeah, I agree. I actually got one too this morning 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:17.000 that the Gentleman sent Carlos Carrasco and Cody Bellinger for 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.400 Kyle Tucker, which I'm also all for. I mean, you 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.600 would definitely do that trade too. It's as good as 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.439 Carrasco has been, and he's been very good. 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.959 As good as Carrasco has been, as good as Bellinger 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:27.480 has been. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.800 Yeah, but you know the I don't know. I like, 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.959 it's nice to see Bellinger bouncing back, but there's still 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.199 so much more potential for failure in there. So I 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.640 would rather have Kyle Tucker Kyle Tucker. So yeah, bad 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.520 April people are freaking out about Kyle Tucker. Go, I'll 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.520 take all your Kyle Tucker shares and in my way a 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.520 couple other news here and notes. Jerry Pania walks it 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.520 off for the Ashers in the tenth Welsh's boy Boy, 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.160 you were right on time with him, Jeremy Paine, this 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.040 is your day. It is your It feels like your 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.000 birthday today. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:56.520 Yeah it was Friday, but ye. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.640 Nick Lodolo gets his MLB first victory. He struck out 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.679 seven in that, so that's very good. I also traded 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.120 him this weekend. I made a lot of trades. This 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.520 weekend in my home league was very fun. Some injuries. 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.920 Michael Couldfordo had season ending or chaise a surgery because 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.440 he has no season. He wasn't on a team. I 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.120 was gonna say season ending, but whatever, so he's gonna 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:15.920 miss all at twenty twenty two. For those of you 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.079 who are drafting him and stashing him, it's time to 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.280 drop him right now. I want to get to can 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.560 we talk about this because Kyle Schwarber got to basically 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.360 embody all the frustrations of every baseball fan for the 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.640 last twenty years in one moment last night with Angel Hernandez, 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.800 who called a ball outside the strike zone a strike, 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.079 which is, as John Hayman puts it in one of 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.480 the many many tweets about it, he couldn't see the 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.160 E on the eyechart Angel Hernandez, that was That was 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.160 my favorite of all of these. But Angel Hernandez still 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:45.720 has a job. 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:47.920 And I kind of been thinking about this, Welsh, and. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.880 I want to ask you, if we were as bad 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.480 at our jobs as Angel Hernandez, would we still be employed. 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:53.840 I think not. No. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.719 You know, it's funny that you brought this subject up 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.160 of that, like not just focusing on how bad all 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.240 the but like but he still has a job is incredible. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:07.199 And the ineptitude of Baseball to allow the worst person, 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:12.520 the worst public person at maybe the most important MLB job, 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.560 not you know, the players themselves, but an MLB based 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.760 employee like that, for this guy to be so known 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.120 for how atrocious he is, and it continue letting him 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.080 be out there with what seems like maybe we don't 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.520 know behind the scenes. It seems like no repercussions. It 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.320 seems like is there ever a conversation a talking to Well, now, 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:29.720 I don't know. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.760 He gets worse, contentious on top of it, on top 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.280 of being bad, he's contentious about it. And I don't 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:35.840 understand it. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.240 Out instantly like without has didn't even let Schwarber have 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.960 three seconds of frustration and anger. He as soon as 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.079 Sworbert bat down gone, And it's like, give me a break, dude. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.040 Yeah, I don't know, man, I just I just don't understand, Like, 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.880 just because the guy's an umpire, if he's proven to 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.880 be the worst at it, why is he still Like 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.920 I don't understand. There's consequences. People get fired, Unions are 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.439 not if you are bad at your job for twenty years, 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.040 I don't understand how you get to do send. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.280 Him down to triple A dude. Legitimately, Angel Hernandez is 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.720 going to be the reason why Ovo robo UMP's tank over. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.520 That's it, Like, why else? Why else would they do that? 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.040 Unless these guys got so horrible. He's the worst of 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.800 all of them. He's the pack leader of all of them. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.760 He's the reason its gonna be. We should call it 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.720 the Angel Hernandez rule. And all that means is going 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:26.400 to fire him. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.880 Why do you think he doesn't face any discipline or problems, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.680 because I guess my point is, I understand that, you know, 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:35.480 there's a protection thing in place, and everybody's a human 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.559 being and they make bad calls. But when you're consistently 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:41.560 doing it on a daily basis for years plural, when 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.439 do we stop that and when do we go, hey, 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.679 wait a minute, this guy really shouldn't be out there 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.160 doing it. Maybe pull him into the office instead and 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.840 let him do something else and let him be one 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.080 of the guys who watches reviews of a consultant. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.079 Like a consultant. You know it would be great. Television 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.160 is so good. Now with bringing on villains, how about 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.760 let him be the consultant that the you know, Sunday 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.760 Night Baseball comes on and said, hey, Angel, you think 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.520 that's a strike And they're like, He's like, yeah, sure, 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:05.640 and they're like, no, he threw it in the outfit. 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.280 I think everything right, Yeah, yeah, exactly. Bower just through 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:09.920 that in the outfield. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.400 Angel. That's one of my favorite bits of old Chris 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.400 Rock was a consultant, as white people say when they're unemployed. 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.199 That's one of my favorite bits. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:19.760 I love that. 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.640 All right, let's get to stat heroes for the weekend. 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.360 We said, Eric Lauer, with his thirteen strikeouts, six innings 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.959 zero earned Outstanding performance U six straight k's at one 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.320 point lowered that era to two point two zero. Kyle 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.480 Wright continues to be amazing. Well, I'm so pissed off 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.360 about this, Can I just can I then for a second, 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.360 because I have been a Kyle Wright apologist for so long, 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.160 and I've rostered him in so many dynasty keeper leagues 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.160 and then lost faith and jennisoned him over the last 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.680 year or two, and now he drops another eleven K performance, 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.120 one walk, six k's, I mean six innings, excuse me 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.440 against the Martlins through three stars this year seventeen innings, 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.679 twenty six k's I mean, this is the Carol right, 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.160 we've all been waiting for. What is different with Kyle Wright. 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.679 People forget that he was also a top prospect. You know, 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.640 it's amazing to go back and look, well, it's amazing 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.240 to go back and look at like the group of 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.440 guys that he made it out. It was like him 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.480 and I think Mike Soroca, who's injured right now. You 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:18.080 had Bryce Wilson, who God knows where he is right now. 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:19.760 Who's a big guy too, a bigger dude. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.240 I can't remember. Luis O'Hara. Luis O'Hara, Yah, yeah, who 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.320 used to be a Mariner and he got traded over 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.840 there and he fail. All of them failed except Max Freed. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.000 Max Read was the only one that was able to 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.560 come out on top. And Kyle Wright has just velo 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.120 has been up. He's consistently been hitting his spots. That's 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.200 the thing. It's consistency. That's the thing that is frustrating 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.720 for so many about baseball. But then also as part 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.160 of that love is you can have these guys and 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.840 it's like the post post post hype sleeper where the 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.840 talent was always there. Not all of them. Does it 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.280 click in six months. Sometimes it takes two or three years. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.960 And we see it with hitters a lot pitchers. There's 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.400 a common I mean a commonality of these guys four 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.280 or five years into their career, changing a few things, 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.960 tweaking it, have the experience knowing what to do in 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.720 big situations, and then just start going. And it's that like, 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.600 you know, that really late twenty eight to twenty nine 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.760 year old that just starts going. How Wright found it. 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.920 He had the pedigree before he's refound his consistency, and 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.000 I'm with you. I tried to do a lot of 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.200 pick up and buys in that first week and he is. 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.760 You know, he's no go for anybody right now because 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.560 he was one of the biggest pickups to start the year. 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.320 Let me say he's gonna win people leagues. I'm telling 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.440 you right now, he's this year's robe on. Because when 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.280 you get a guy who's free and it's pitching like this, 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.160 who's pitching like an ace, forget it, man, that's a 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.560 league winning guy right now. Also hopefully a league winning guy. 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.880 Garret Cole who found himself again that goodness. Nine k's 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.880 over the Guardians. There no earned runs, thank goodness, Garrett 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.640 Cole looking at Garrett Cole. Giledo bouncing back to getting 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.760 back from his injury. Nine strikeouts and four innings, Thank you, 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.360 Lucas Giledo, welcome back. Aaron Nola finally looked good in 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.520 the game against the Brewers. Nine k's in this one 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.160 for him. No earned runs, but again Aaron Nola can 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:56.840 go out next week and give up six earned runs 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.520 and four innings because he's Aaron Nola. Nester Cortes another 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.040 guy co did to dominate the for the Yankees. Eight 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.680 k's this weekend in the game for him also, Gomer 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.760 had a good star with Ak's Frankie Montas same thing 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.120 a CA's Hazel Czardo was good walk four guys but 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.760 still got the eight k's. Other strong performances this weekend 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.520 we had Gallon Darvish Kopek was good. We mentioned Lodolo 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.880 gettings first win to reach Schooble guy was talking about 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.520 with Bogmin has been very solid as well. In Shane McClanahan, 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.760 I love how fired up by the way the peanuts 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.800 and cracker Jacks are today.

It's almost like it's like a textbook. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.920 We started with me poking at buckst and we win. 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.280 Then to Is was Jeter unanimous Hall of Famer too. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.720 Then Angel Hernandez.

Charlie Blackman 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.320 became the first player to be an endorser of a 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.399 gambling site. He is like the face endorsement of a 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.320 gambling site. He's the first player to get that done. So, yeah, 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.360 let's let's talk about Pee Rose.
