WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off June 29th, 2022 (Ep. 542) 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:22.200 Peanuts, cracker Jacks and Frindos. Welcome in. It is leading 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.400 off on Fantasy pros. I'm Chris Welsh, your host because 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.400 Joe piece Apia is not here doing his job. Who 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:31.639 does he think he is? 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.279 How do you take vacation? Don't you know where you live? 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:35.800 We don't do vacation in this country. 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.280 Come on, that's not Bubba, that's Bogman. Bogman is back 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.800 with us again. He uh, you know, just can't get 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.559 enough of me, cannot get enough of me, and he 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.320 is back to join in again. Bubba had a I 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:47.559 had a thing. I think you had a car thing. 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:52.080 So emergency pinch hitting. So hi Bogman, welcome back. 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.200 In, Thanks for having me again. Glad to be here. 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.640 So let's talk some baseball. Let's talk this hilarious Archie 0:00:58.640 --> 0:00:59.800 Bradley thing I call. 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.960 I mean, I mean, you're you're jumping way ahead into 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.880 the show. I know, I know, but it's I'm gonna 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.960 pre tell you right now. I'm gonna have to work 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.680 very hard to not laugh. I'm gonna have to work 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.759 very hard to not laugh because we don't want. 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.160 To be an impossibility for me. 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.479 We'll see, we've got some surprises. We have got new 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:23.280 entries into the Photoshop Joe Hair contest. I thought it 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.200 was dead. It's up to you guys to make sure 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.640 it lives on. And we've got a couple of new entries. 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.440 So we are back on for a contest. And also 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.360 we have a wrinkle in the home run contest. Today 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.480 we have a double points day, so it should be very, 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:42.240 very fun. Bogman, let's go back in time. We're going 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.160 back in time to a time that Patrick Corbin was good. 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:51.560 He throws two pitches. Those two pitches were efficient back 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:57.160 in the day. And Patrick Corbin struck out twelve and 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.200 a win against the Pirates yesterday, and we were talking 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.160 about the Pirates. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.040 How does because he was right? 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.480 Uh, well, my quick math would be it's the Pirates. 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.680 So because my thought process yesterday was I bet Patrick 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.080 Corbin wishes he could pitch against the Pirates every single 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.840 time out when he looks like this, because I looked 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.760 he's had nothing close to this all year long, not 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:21.600 even a whiff. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.960 I don't think you could have strung two starts together 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.720 for him to be this effective, or have them in 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:26.120 a way. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:26.959 It's awful. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.160 No, he's been awful so uh, this came out of nowhere. Look, 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.240 but I expect this to return from whence? It came 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.560 very very fast. I do not believe we will see 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.639 another start like this from Patrick Corban this year. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.120 No, no, yeah, Patrick Corbyn dropped his crystal shoes and 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.840 the ball is about the end real. 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.560 Look at Wonky, do you see this? 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.040 I was inspired by Chad Coole, so I started Corbin 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:48.840 and DFS. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.080 That went very well for me. Yes, Wonky wow, amazing call. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.880 Wow wow wow. And just as a precursor to a 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.840 little bit later as well, speaking of those pirates, just 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.720 want to point out someone was mean to me yesterday 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.240 Mike decided to come back. He prestarted the show with 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.880 a little comment about maybe something we're going to talk 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.799 about here in a little bit. Other headlines around baseball. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.080 Glabor Torres back in the lineup today. He's had a 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.600 very good comeback year. Actually, Joe and I, when we 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.679 were going through the MVP voting or the All Star voting, 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.280 I'm sorry, I actually put Labor Torres in because the 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.200 position just wasn't one hundred percent and didn't make sense. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.400 Missing a little bit of time doesn't necessarily help, but 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.160 I put Glabor Torres kind of back in their box. 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.720 Matt Olsen blasts two Homers as he attempts to get 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.000 back in. There was a time period where matt Olsen 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.320 was in the same tier of like Pete Alonzo, completely 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:43.240 different tiers now. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:47.120 Yeah, completely different tiers. I'm with you for sure, boy. 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.920 Mike Corbyn only had ten strikeouts in his previous three 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.640 starts combined. That is from Mike Mayer only cow. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.800 I don't know. I don't know what happened. He must have. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.760 Do you think he met maybe Joe is a Devil's advocate. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.040 Was he out there meeting Patrick corbyni and stuff? Do 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:07.000 you think that's what it is? 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.320 I think it's possible. Yeah, shout out to his photoshop picture. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.720 Freddie Freeman fired his agent over the Atlanta contract situation, 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.120 and if everybody saw this, there was actually God now 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.960 I'm forgetting who it was there was. It was a 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.480 player that came out and said he's not even surprised 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.920 at this. Oh it was Chipper Jones. Chipper Jones apparently 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:29.120 had been warning Freddie Freeman to fire his agents and 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.280 he wanted to return to Atlanta. The report is and 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.160 the agents overplayed the hand it got probably messy where 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.760 Atlanta just didn't call back, and if you remember, like 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.159 they kind of said that goodbye to Freddy and he 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.520 was like, oh, I don't know what happened. So apparently 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.800 he was pissed and he fired his agents and currently 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:48.919 is representing himself. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:50.680 So yeah, that's not good. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.160 I mean, you got to get somebody else in there 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.960 pretty quick for you. But I mean, he's signed a 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.640 long deal with the Dodgers anyway, so I know he 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.080 pro probably wants to go back to Atlanta, but tough 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:02.800 that door shut. 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.479 Yeah, Jacob de Graham threw a live batting practice on Wednesday, 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.320 which is very very good news. We can get him 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.640 back here in the near future. Again, I think you know, 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.720 with these like live VP sessions, you're still looking at 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.160 a timeline post All Star break. We have sures are 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.240 potentially coming back on Sunday to Grom's got to actually 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.279 throw in some simulated like a full on game and 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.920 then probably a start or two after, so you know 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.280 there's a possibility. I keep saying All Star Game, it 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.480 might be beyond, So just throwing that out there, it 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.480 might be something that isn't until. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:37.440 Late July early August. Is like the new that's the window. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:38.520 That's where they want him back. 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.080 Yeah, and that's where you might have to look for. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.040 Aaron Ashby completed another bullpen session. He could return as 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:44.279 early as this weekend. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.680 Get back out there, Come on, let's go. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.960 Yeah, to continue the Ashby versus Strider series that I 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.080 will be following all season long. Luis Castile struck out 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.320 eleven in a win against the Cubs, and Robbie Ray 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.679 toss seven scoreless, one hit innings and a no decision 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.800 versus the Orioles. In Luis Castillo Molly both kind of 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.039 pushing up their trade value, and we think we talked 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.520 about it yesterday that Hayman has also he was talking 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.839 about the with Mirifield trade rumors. There's also kind of 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:14.520 an uptick in in stral Castillo. And I'm glad Larry 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.800 you put this up here because I meant to copy this. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.760 And I think maybe one of the bigger pieces of 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.960 news was Fernando Tatis said he's feeling good and he's 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.960 going to begin swinging in about two weeks. So again 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.080 timeline stuff that's right around probably all Star break. He's 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.560 going to have to get into IM guessing a rehab 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.080 game maybe a week or so. He's miss significant time. 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:36.880 I could expect a little bit bigger, but he's one 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.880 of those guys that I could actually see them not 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.200 doing it whatsoever, but not extended. So I think you're 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.480 looking at the beginning of August, which is probably far 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.000 beyond the timeline anybody actually really expected. 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.480 Yeah, this is just another reason why you don't want 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.800 to go into the season with the player who's already hurt, 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.920 because they have setbacks, they have weird stuff happened, and 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.560 you know, now when you thought they're coming back in 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.760 early July, that coming back in early August, and that's 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:03.760 most of the season. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.800 Yeah, I mean I was burned. We've talked about this 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.680 long time. I was burned in basketball a couple of 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.280 years back. With baseball, people like who's this Kawhi Leonard 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.760 Kwi Leonard was injured going into the year, drafted him 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.920 out for the season. Bogman did it with lev Bell. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.400 It was a little bit different, but it was more 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.280 of the when there's a tenuous situation of like major 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:26.080 contract holdouts or injuries, it really is the juice isn't 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.840 worth the squeeze, especially you know, I've been seeing a 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.600 lot of trade stuff. They're a little bit more dynasty. 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.000 But also if you think of production, somebody presented one 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.200 as our guy friend James McGrath in this league listener 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:42.360 and it was his Fernando Tatis for Bobby Witt and 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.120 then a pitcher, let's just call it a mid line pitcher, 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.920 And there were contracts and stuff that were involved in it, 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:49.920 but he was still looking at it from a this 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.440 year perspective. He's like, listen, Bobby Witt is, you know, 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.480 in line to be a twenty twenty guy. How much 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.760 production are you really losing with Bobby Witt to Fernando 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.480 Tatis Junior when he comes. It's maybe not enough. The 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.240 shortstop position is just so wide the gaps of widen 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.960 that what is the risk really worth, especially with him 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.320 kind of carrying a little bit of an injury tag 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:11.920 with him. That's something we're going to have to consider. 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.080 He's not free of it, like you know, Akunia. 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.000 Like he still has a shoulder thing. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.800 After gets after he gets past this risk thing, you know, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.760 and that's all good. He still has the shoulder thing 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.720 because he hasn't had surgery on it yet, and that's 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.760 going to keep happening to him. So he's just he's 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.240 he's a tough player to own this second. I mean 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.440 next year, he's a great player to own, you know, 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.640 and especially hopefully resting that shoulder has helped him. 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.360 Okay, but but with. 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.760 Him, though, will you go into next year? Well, you're 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.040 the worst person to ask this, because you will. But 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.040 it's like the question I want to ask you is, 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:50.200 will you go in with a injury tag on tatis 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.480 moving forward of a fear? 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.280 And I know I'll take an injury prone player over 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.440 an injured player all day long. I'll take Judge and 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.000 Stanton and even those guys annoying me. The only guy 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.360 I won't take his Steven Strasburg. Because why you do this. 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.800 To find injury prone versus injury plagued. 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.640 A guy that has missed at least a month of 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.760 the season for three years straight, someone who hasn't played 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.679 one hundred and forty games, but. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:17.160 Also, like injury prone tends to be like they are 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:22.560 just consistently getting injured in kind of the same fashion. Injury. Yeah, 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.400 because there's the guys that are just like they have 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.920 goofy stuff. Jean Carlos Stanton really kind of suffered from 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.120 goofy injuries happening to someone that has got nagging injuries 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.680 that kind of continuously go. And I'm curious at how 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.480 many people are going to kind of start baking that, 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.800 like Olibert, timnd Tocy. You cannot move forward to Aliberto 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.760 Mond to see think Eversbourg, No, no, right, but that 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.160 he'll ever play one hundred games. You can never assume 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.199 he'll do that, so you have to draft him accordingly. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.160 So if everybody gets caught in their feelings again next 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.319 year where it's like, oh, I can get fifty stolen bases, 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.560 I'm gonna draft him in the third round, you'll never 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.439 get him more than that. Are we in a space 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.480 and will we get in a space with Fernando Tatis 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.120 where we know we will never get a certain amount 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.240 of games from or I mean, I think it's too 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:05.040 soon to do that, but you're more of an injury. 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.640 I think so. No, I think it's too soon to 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.480 do that. I think if he has surgery on his 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:14.520 shoulder eventually, then he'll be fine. But that surgery, which 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.520 he probably should have had at the beginning of this season, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.240 will keep you out for a long time. 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.480 It's a long term injury. It's like a year. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.520 So it's gonna suck if he ever does have to 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.000 have that, But it's probably gonna happen. Hmmm. 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:29.839 Don't like it. Gonna have injuries. Branda mar stay to 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.520 day with a Nebrews. Kelly Jansen expected back when he's 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.840 first eligible in July. I know you were really worried 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:35.959 about the irregular heartbeat. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.080 Well, I mean, come on, you know, at what point 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.760 do you just say, all right, I've made enough money. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.400 I'm getting a regular heartbeat on a consistent basis, This 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.600 is not worth it. So it seems to be like 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.040 this was a one day blip. It kind of panicked. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.120 They put him on the IL. Probably the right thing 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.760 to do. Give him a rest for a little bit, 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.960 make sure he's okay, and then he comes back. But 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.760 I mean, you know, I can't imagine that Kelly Jansen 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.640 has a you know, much much longer MLB career. 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.880 I think it's gonna come do to fairly quick. 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:07.960 Yeah, something that's been caring for a long time. Mookie 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.959 Bets is going to resume baseball activities on Wednesday, Thank you, 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.400 Thank you. Liam Hendricks is going to throw a simulated 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.880 game on Friday and Jazz Chisholm. He left the game 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.280 early yesterday with lower back discomfort. That's what happens when 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.320 you try to pull the ball more aggressive than any 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:27.079 baseball player that exists. You're gonna probably pull your back, Bogman. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.800 Can we talk about can my attitude is about to change? 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:35.240 Can we talk about this? Can you kick mine that joke? 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.880 Can you kick on yell Cruise? 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:39.720 Hmmm? 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.560 This week Onell Cruz hit his homer. We talked about it. 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.760 I got called a hater and let's just let's just 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.600 go back this again. Let's go back. I love I 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.400 love seeing this. This is my favorite. Three words. If 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:54.000 we ever have a contest named give me three words 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.720 combined that Welsh loves more than anything. Well, Welsh was right. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.880 Welsh was right. Onell Cruz goes oh for four with 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.520 three strikeouts. I was just I was actually stacking up. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.840 I will tell you I had about five different tweets 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.960 locked together. I was typing. I was like I did 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.960 that one. I had one that was like. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.560 Too mean, too soft, too mean? No, it was too richy. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.520 Could you couldn't find a Goldilocks one? There? 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.320 Here was my main one. It was gonna be oh 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.640 for four, Neil like oh Neil, and then Cruise into 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.240 three strikeouts and that was gonna be it. I didn't 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.920 put it out there. Probably a good thing, but it's 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.280 actually not just to let everybody know that Onio Cruz 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.280 went oh for four with three strikeouts, because you already 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.120 know that oneo Cruz went over four with three strikeouts. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:48.120 It's this Oneal Cruz on DraftKings is currently the number 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.600 one player as odds go for Rookie of the Year, 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:59.200 the number one of all of the NL Rookie of 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.320 the Year candidatesman hold on. Have these guys, all of them, 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.080 all of them, all the guys that have been playing 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:10.720 months prior McKenzie gore losing prospect eligibility, Spencer Strider, Nolan 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.960 Gorman has been up. There is no player that has 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:19.000 worse worse odds than O'Neil Cruz. He is pluck. I 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.679 mean it is plus but plus three eighty the number 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.439 one Rookie of the year odds on favorite for DraftKings. 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.280 Have these guys not watched Buddy Kennedy, That's my question, 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.000 Like Buddy Kennedy, h No, I'm kidding, but uh, look 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:34.080 the hype. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.920 It's all the hype. It's everything you said. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.800 And by the way, not only did he go oh 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.319 for last night, he also threw one across the diamond 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.000 and it was like, but how fast it to be 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.040 close to one hundred miles an hour, but it was 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.360 right in the dirt and right past Michael Schoffs. 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.559 Well, but it's only it's only important to know how 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.600 fast he threw it. Here are some other odds in 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.000 the NL. Just again, you want to play rookie of 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.920 the year, the guy who just got called up a 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.880 week ago, but he can throw ninety seven and you 0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.040 know there's an hour in there. 0:13:59.040 --> 0:13:59.679 You didn't mention it. 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.440 I'm I'm going to give them to you. I'm going 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.760 to give them all to you. Number two, Michael Harris 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.040 is at four point fifty. O'Neill Cruiz is at three eighty. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.160 Michael Harris is at four to fifties, wild Mackenzie Gore 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:17.160 plus five point fifty lower than O'Neal Cruz. Spencer Strider 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.640 is at six hundred plus six hundred on there and 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.760 then it just for his pants and then the other 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.000 within like trajectory is Nolan Gorman, who has been up 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.560 just a majority of the year hitting, you know, I 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.440 mean he's striking on stuff, but tons of homers and 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.400 stuff six fifty. Check these two out though this as 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:38.600 will Alec Thomas is plus twenty five hundred and Jack 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.120 Swinsky is plus two thousand. Swinsky, I mean average isn't 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.040 quite there, but I think it's up to twelve homers. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.400 Swinsky at two thousand, Alec Thomas is twenty five hundred. 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.400 Dans that are right there. Alex Thomas has a better 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.680 chance at Rookie of the Year. I can not fathom 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.480 how Oneal Cruz and you say hype. I mean I 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.640 talk hype and I joke about it, but like the books, 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.600 don't necessarily play hype. That's not the game that they play. 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.360 They jump on a guy that just came up as 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.280 the number. I mean maybe they are. Maybe I'm actually 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.240 saying this incorrectly because they say, hey, we'll just put 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.200 some goods odds up. We'll put him as a number one. 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.080 People are gonna want to bet it, and we're gonna 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.280 just rake in money. I'm shocked at the amount of 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.840 guys that are up there, and just looking again, You've 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.440 got guys a Christopher Morale. Hunter Green is plus nine thousand. 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.280 Jan Ya pezs on that list at plus fifteen hundred 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.800 and oneo Cruz the number one NL Rookie of the 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.720 Year vote getter. Again, I don't like want him to fail. 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.960 I told you, I mean I saw hyped. 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.880 I saw one reel that showed why it was. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.480 It was he came up, he had the hardest throw, 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.000 he had the hardest hit ball by a pirate in 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.520 his first game, and he had a sprint speed faster 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:49.360 than Tyreek Hill. 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:50.680 Like, when you have. 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.680 That and it's going across all social media, everyone thinks 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.840 that this guy is going to break out and be 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.880 a huge superstar. So if he puts even a whiff 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.080 of stuff together, he's probably going to get the votes 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.920 to win. So I understand him being at these odds, 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.160 but it's just these other guys have been up for 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.160 a couple months. Alek Thomas been hitting well the whole season, 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:15.960 so it's it's just so surprising He's got the hype, 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:17.440 but he definitely does not have the numbers. 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.200 Yeah, well this is I mean, Wonkey says if they 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.480 awarded it based solely on stats, that would be sweet. 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.200 But I think hype carries weight. I think carries but 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.880 see I disagree. I think carries weight now, which is 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.520 to this point, when the award comes in, it's not 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.760 the rookie of hype a year. Whatever I can, it's 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:40.760 not that. Hype obviously plays a role in this stuff 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.880 as odds go through. So that's why I'm saying, I 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.640 work through it live, like, Okay, it actually makes sense. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.440 Everyone's so excited about O'Neil Cruz. The hype is crazy. 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.760 Put it up. Now, give us some odds that make 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.800 people excited. But when you put him as number one, 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:54.640 people are like, oh my god, this is the odds 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.160 on favorite. Now it makes a lot of sense. It 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.400 makes a lot of sense in my mind for the hype. 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.480 But when comes to shove at the end of the year, 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:03.960 I mean, it is about production. It's not about how 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.120 hype the player is. It's gonna be about the production. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.280 It'll be beyond stats of like what did they do 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.080 for their team or their team's winners where they have 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.080 catalysts and stuff like that. Sure, but the hype make sense. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.240 Now if only Cruiz goes fifteen to fifteen, it hits 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:17.760 two eighty, do you think. 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:18.400 He just gets it? 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:19.720 I'm sorry I say it again. 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.520 Fifteen fifteen, it hits two eighty. 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.879 I don't think that's a guarantee. I mean, Alec Thomas, 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.000 Alc Thomas could go twenty for twenty, but I mean 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:29.800 the hype might see that. That would be a situation 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.080 where the hype could carry it. Just that's what I think. 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:37.080 Yeah, because they'll also starts well goal glove defense he plays, you. 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:38.800 Know that, like Thomas has been goal glove defense. 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.840 They'll they'll just say that, you know, I'm yeah, I'm 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.159 with you. But I do think that if if he 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.560 puts up like a decent floor level stat line and 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.199 plays decent defense, doesn't have a thousand errs like he 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.040 did last night, then they'll probably give it to him. 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.119 So I was speaking of Diamondbacks real quick. This is 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.639 one other thing that I thought would be interesting to 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.760 talk about. There was a six days scoring change. I 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.080 don't know if you saw, our friend Ryan tweeted out, yeah, 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.640 can we talk about this? Six days later he had 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.840 won by three in his matchup. Then six days later 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.720 there was a scoring change that made him lose by one. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.840 The scoring change was the double for has Sung Kim 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.000 against the Diamondbacks at Padres on six twenty one was 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.960 changed to an error on Jordan Luplow which allowed Kim 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.959 or made Kim lose the RBI and the run UH 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.800 scoring on the play, and it was changed to an 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.040 unearned run against Zach Gallon, so that would affect Gallen 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.400 and obviously Hassung Kim made him move. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:37.920 That's wild. 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.359 That's why I had three days to make stat changes. 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.560 Maybe that's the NFL. Maybe I'm getting them mixed up, 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.280 but I thought three days. I thought like, okay, because 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.000 this is why I wait to you know, if I'm 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.080 a commission I wait to give out money until the 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:56.040 following Thursday, because I thought that was when stat corrections happened. 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.359 After you know, your last Monday night football game. You 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.520 go Tuesday, Wednesday through third. If there's no stat corrections, 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:05.800 it's not changing. So yeah, I was surprised to see 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.840 such a big thing happen like this six days later. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.600 Very surprising quick. 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.040 Burn through on these This day in baseball, I thought 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.560
