There's a lot 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.720 of options in their hair metal. I think hair metal 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:02.240 would be a great then good eighties like yeah, look good, let's. 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:03.400 There you go. 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.039 I'll do a whole week of wiks, we get the 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:06.919 fifteen k whole week of wigs. 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:08.839 I will do one a day. I don't care. I'm good. 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:10.960 Would you get hair implants? Would you just get if 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:12.120 we got a too? 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.840 That's that's that's called being a coward. You see this, 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.320 This is bravery. This is what this bald head is. 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.600 If people do the you know, the Jeremy Pivens of 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.920 the world, they're cowards, that's what they are. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.160 That's right coming for you. Where is that guy, by 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.000 the way, do you know what he's doing? 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.000 Hairclub for men commercials? I just saw him a couple 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.560 of weeks ago. That's what he's doing. But anyway, let's 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.240 get to some baseball here at the top of the show. 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:39.680 Let's talk about Jared Kallinik another day. Another dong. That's right, uh, 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.200 three point fifty one. He's up to three homers in 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.880 his last forty one at bats. Three homeras in three days. 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.560 I saw a breakdown of the swing. And you know 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.040 it wasn't hard because I remember doing shows with you 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.640 a couple of years ago talking about how he continues 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.680 to drop his hands in this huge hitch and he 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.800 shortened that up, and once you know it, short up 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.200 the hitch, all of a sudden, you're quicker to the baseball. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.600 All of a sudden, he's hid much better. The Cubs 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.400 don't have a lot to offer in terms of tough pitching, 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.280 so let's see how he handles the rest of the league. 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.600 But so far, this has been a really encouraging thing. 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.760 I know we talked a little about him yesterday, but 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.800 I want to talk about it more today because yesterday's 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.359 four hundred and eighty foot blast was noteworthy. 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:15.040 Yeah. 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.480 Actually, you know, funny, our sponsor of the home run giveaway, 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.119 Dennis Sidler, over at Sidsgraf's text me and he said 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.000 it was only the third time in history he lives 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.040 in Chicago, that he'd ever seen a ball hit there. 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.919 And it's definitely something to say. You know, right here, 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.520 this is funny. Mayor posted this saying, be right back, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.320 gonna sell high on Kelnick. I obviously don't disagree with that, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.960 but I think Kelnick is in the dead zone of 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.360 you can't trade him for what his output is currently doing. Like, 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.800 I don't think anyone's going to buy on Kelnick because 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.160 there are just still too many worries that. I think 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:50.600 you just got a hold and you got to hang 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.840 out because guess what Baseball Savant page. It's nice and red. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.160 He's making good decisions. Everyone's hold used on Oh, fastballs 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.200 he's hit. In fact, he's putting himself in a situation 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.400 to get fastballs and he's smacking them. And that is 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.320 what not all hitters hit breaking balls and off speed 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.880 pitches incredibly, but you put yourself in situations and then 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.040 you take advantage of that. And that's what he's doing. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.320 That's so different and I think a real big positive. 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.520 But sure, if someone were buying like old school Jared Kelnick, 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.880 you would sell. I just don't think anyone out there 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.680 is doing it, so I would ride the wave. 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.000 You're not selling him because you got him cheap. He's 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:24.880 worth more to you because you got him cheap this year, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.640 so let the productivity flow. There's also, I think a 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.280 market where people aren't gonna buy it until he does 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.840 it for at least half a season. Yeah, what does 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.760 the cell high look like? I mean, you got him cheap, 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.400 you keep him. You don't want to sell in dynasty 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.520 leagues this year because you got him cheap or you know, 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.480 you have him cheap. If they have any costs attachchu 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.560 that's high. I could sayd trying to flip him, but 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.880 nobod's gonna buy it that cost. So look, you're stuck 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.280 with him. But that's not a good thing. He's worth 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.480 more to you who drafted him, than he is necessarily 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:52.520 somebody else right now in. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:53.120 The open market. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.440 That's just the end of the conversation there, Taz Bradley, 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:57.800 good conversation with him. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.120 Struck out eight What. 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.560 Do you know, another day, another win for the Tampa 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.960 Bay Rays, the most dominant even baseball right now, at 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:04.760 least in April. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.760 Three runs over five innings. The eight k's that talked about. 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.120 Now, he didn't get sent down about an hour ago, 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.200 So good job, kid, Now go back down at TRIPAA. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.760 But he looked great. If you picked him up, I 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.600 would hold him. I don't know if he's gonna make 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.640 a second start. I think he's going to be back 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.159 regardless at some point around in twenty twenty three redraft leagues. 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.760 But this was a very good first performance. I love 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.800 the mechanics of Bradley. They're very easy. He's got some 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.120 late life on the ball. To me, this is a 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.599 picture that you should be excited about in any key or. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.360 Formatall by the way, that curveball was absolutely dominant. I 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.120 love TODJ. Bradley when you know he has he's a 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.280 George Kirby vibe to me in that there's good stuff 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.240 with great command and he can just pump the zone. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.279 And that's what he ended up doing. Because he was 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.800 able to hit his spots for the most part, that 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.960 fastball was a lot more effective. He ended up having 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.240 a thirty almost thirty two percent with rate on the fastball, 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.279 which isn't like crazy and common a young pitcher. But 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.599 part of the reason is because that cutter curveball combination 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.720 was just keeping everybody on their toes and the book 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.880 isn't quite out on him. I think that curveball is 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.360 going to be the big difference maker on him. And listen, 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.159 I didn't think the Rays would make the move, but 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.200 they already showed us like he is one of those 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.400 guys are comfortable next in line. I thought he answered 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:22.479 all the questions and if you can hold hold, but 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.240 they didn't make us wait at all. They were just like. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:26.880 Say ye bye bye. 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.080 So you don't have everyone's talk about, Hey, what's the 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.760 fab that I have to do on him. I think 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.000 it's actually a great thing because if you guys are 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.520 in weekly fab leagues, everyone was talking what do I spend? 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.680 What do I spend? Now that he's gone, that number 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.760 comes down. I told you I want before I saw 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.880 him pitch. I wanted under ten percent after that game, 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.480 had he not been sent down. He's going way over 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:46.960 ten percent. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:47.640 Oh me too. 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.520 He's back down to life because everyone's like, Okay, well 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.440 he's not here, he's not hanging. We don't know what's 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.479 going to happen. We don't even know if this next 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.200 start with e Flyn gone, are they going to bring 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.120 him back up? Are they going to give it to Fleming? 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.280 Either way, you can get him a lot cheaper if 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.600 you have the ability to stash. He is a great 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:03.440 stash right now. 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.000 Yeah, I would throw If you're in a deeper league, 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.080 I throw a little bit more on there, just to 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.920 be safe, just to get him, because I do think 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:10.719 he's going to return. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:12.640 He can't pitch that well and not be back at 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.000 some point. There's gonna be injuries. 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.600 Uh, I mean one hundred dollars budget, I would go 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.200 fifteen to seventeen bucks on him. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.760 I think he's you're more now, you're after you're fifteen. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.640 I'm actually said I'm more because I I because he 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.159 was good. Because like when you when you come up 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.159 and you look that good and you look that polished, 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.599 to me, that's very eye opening. And the Rays, you know, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.039 I mean, we have to worry about glassnow always being healthy, 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:36.640 and we have to worry about everybody else. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.320 You know, it's a long season. It's only April. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.000 You come up and you pitch like that, I think 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.000 you're gonna And also pitching, I think, you know, there's 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.160 very few guys out there that can make a pitching impact. 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.240 I'm gonna think in my head, he makes a dozen 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.280 starts for this team this year. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:50.160 I think, yeah, But like. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.040 He was already on a pitch count in that game. 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.520 They're gonna open up the death Uh. They actually interesting 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.240 They had Jalen Beaks do the follow and that's something 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.040 like we've talked about that I would mind. I just 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.039 think like he's held back a tiny bit by what 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.479 the Rays will actually allow him to do. It's cool 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.680 that they put him out there, but Kenny actually go 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.760 deep into games. How many innings is the cap? And 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.680 how they like to play openers. Would he be an 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.320 opener and goes three or would he follow an opener 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.680 like a Jalen Peak. So, I don't know. I'm not 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.480 gonna be as aggressive as Joe. I'm going to stick 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.640 back to my ten percent now. Maybe even get tried 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.680 to get a little bit cheaper. But he was pretty freakin' awesome. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.080 He was some great stuff in the check going on, 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.800 We'll get to the rest of the headlines of the 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.840 second Jay full talking about Pete Alonzo his sixth homer. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.280 Pee Alonzo still drags everybody an MVP. I would still 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.880 put a wager on him. I have similar He's at 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.320 least ten to one, if not greater, and some other 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.600 stop another question here from Mark Stash Brett Batty. 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.880 Look, Escobar, is you know Escobar? 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.440 He is better being a guy that you can use 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.160 a couple times a week to being an everyday player 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.240 at this point in his career. In my opinion, Baty's 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.600 staring the cover off the ball. Yeah, I would absolutely 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:58.800 be stashing Brett Baty while she agree. 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.000 Agreed, absolutely agree. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:00.240 Yeah. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.200 By baby is coming soon, very very soon. 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.760 Too again and they and they could use again they 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.960 need a left handed bats there. They need to, They 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.520 need to, you know, continue to diversify this line up 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:09.880 a little bit. 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:10.440 If you're in the mats. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.320 It was a fun game yesterday too, Blake Snell another 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.200 fun star for him, another five walks or whatever the 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.559 hell was enough enough Blake Snell already? 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.400 Yeah, yeah, whatever I ever said about Blake Snell earlier, 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.480 just for forget all that type of stuff. Here's what 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.080 you have to do with Blake Snell. This is my ruin. 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.679 Come back in late May. Come back after he's gotten 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.560 all this out of the system. He didn't throw the 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.079 change up yesterday, which is what you want. But he's 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.000 so wild and ineffective. Here was a big, big problem 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.440 as well. It's like seventy I think, in the seventy 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.720 percentile of fastball. Again, you can't do that. You got 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.800 to get that out of there. Just come back in 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.240 about a month and then you can, you know, go 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:45.960 trade for him or do whatever you got to do. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.840 But he ain't it right now. 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.200 He ain't it, Corbyn. Carrol's it two for four with 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:51.120 a two run bomb. 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.480 Remember we told you all off season how he's got 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.640 a lot more power than you realize. There you go 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.040 another home run for Corbyn Carroll, So that's good. Speaking 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.199 of Diamondbacks, Drake Jamison shutout innings. We knew he was 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.920 going to be limited, but he was good in those 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.440 four innings. We'll see what the Diamondbacks continue to do. 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.480 But he's a he's a valuable piece. I talked about 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.600 him in the Waiver Wire video that just came out 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.240 about an hour ago. It's over here on the channel 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.880 and Fantasy Pros MLB YouTube. I just think he's a 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:18.800 valuable arm to own right now, and I think you 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.080 want to roster him. I think the dual eligibility, you know, 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:23.839 it could be very helpful too if he continues to 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.920 do that. And once again, it's a long season. So 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.880 it was this the last start Dre Jamison makes. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:28.440 I don't think so. 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.800 Well, what do you think about him this year? The 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.240 versatility but also the ability of Jamison? 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.160 Yeah, no, I think this is a this is a 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.480 big positive. Everyone's a little bit alarmed. They're like, oh 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.240 my god, what why is he only going fifty six? 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.040 Because they're trying to get him fully stretched out. What 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.880 I was looking for and I've been focused on, is 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.320 how are they going to have that slider usage? It 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.439 was a little bit less than I wanted, but I'm 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.080 not sitting off the top of my head right now. 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.400 I want to say it was in the thirty percentile 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.880 range twenty six to thirty percent. It had an over 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.640 seventy percent with rate on the slider. Again, so he 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.080 is able to set up he's commanding. He did leave 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:04.680 one right over the plate, which is going to be 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.440 a little bit of a problem with that, but he 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.200 is setting up everything else, the sinker and the fastball, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.480 all around this slider because it is his most effective pitch, 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.880 and as long as that keeps going, he's. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:16.199 Going to be great. 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.880 Give up three hits, went four now earned runs. This 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.679 is great with a killer, killer defense behind him. It's 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.000 a recipe for like a good young pitcher to succeed. 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:28.960 He's not like the home run guy that maybe like 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.800 Brandon fott Is or anything like that, giving up a 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.840 whole bunch of bombs. But as long as that slider 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.280 keeps effective, he's got the pitches to go. I think 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.480 he's been a must pick up for weeks when it 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.520 was him getting saves. Now him being in the rotation, 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.440 I have a very hard time believing that he ever 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.079 comes out of this rotation. The only thing will be 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.760 the silly, silly gooses of the Diamondbacks being like, well, 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.480 we don't want to push his innings and we want 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.600 to push him back into the bullpen. That would be silly. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.640 The Kyle Davies should go to the bullpen when he 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.079 comes back, and Dre Jamison's stay in this rotation. 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.040 You had a good question here for Durham, which I'm 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.760 pretty sure Brooks Durham has won at least three Country 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.320 Music Awards, right, I mean, doesn't that sound like and now, 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.000 ladies and gentlemen, Brooks Durham. I mean just saying Brooks. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.199 Should I pick up Baty? Is he a better stash 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.560 than Julian who's up now? 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:14.199 Yes? 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.480 To me, Batty is the better guy right now because 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.640 I think when he comes up he is an everyday player. Julian, 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.560 I'm not sure if we're there yet, so that would 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.920 be my inclination. Welsh, and I do love Julian quite 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.160 a bit. What's your take on this one? Real quickly 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:27.959 we'll get to the rest of headline. 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.960 Yeah, they're pretty close with that. The unfortunate is Kyle 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.040 Farmer jaw Thing might leave one little. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.079 Buckston running into other people things. I mean these Minnesota twins. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.640 Boy, Yeah, I like Julian, but I think Batty is 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.400 has the potential to be a little bit more impactful 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.880 because even with like a new injury, they've got two 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.679 guys like a Planco and kierlaf rehabbing right now, and 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.560 that probably pushes Julian off a little bit sus defense 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.760 as well, where Plank is going to take the sense of. 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.200 The word sus. 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.520 Tim Sawyer's got another one here, Franchie Gordero, potential league 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.480 winner or advertising. I've got two words for you, Ermin Mercedes, 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.520 Ermin Mercedes. That's my two words for you, Franchie Cordero. 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.160 People. Yeah, yeah, Well, I'm like Rocket. 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.720 While it's good, sell it if you can play him 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.920 against Rity's, that's about all that you do. It's not 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:16.480 gonna last. 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.839 It's sounded like a jay Z song. That was really 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.160 good Rocket. While you can sell it if you must, 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.640 but that was really good. 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.080 Was want you know, I actually know it's funny that 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.160 you say that I got another believer or anything. I 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:31.600 found out about this freestyle rapper Harry Mack because he 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.320 did this video. If you've seen it, it's a viral 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.480 video on T and T and he'd like a five 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.760 minute rap, and I got. I went down a rabbit 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.280 hole last night of watching everything this. I've never heard 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.400 of him in my life until last night. And I 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.520 watched almost everything all the way until I fell asleep 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:48.800 last night. So maybe it's in my brain. 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.760 That's what wash was doing. See just dropping bars. Jordan 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.439 Walker's dropping bars. He is up to a twelve game 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.079 hit streak to open up the season. By the way, 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.680 the longest historyk to open a career by any player 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.440 uh is actually seventeen games and accomplished by two people, 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:07.320 Chuck Allino in nineteen forty one, Oh Boy, Chuck Aleno, 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.720 and David doll of all people in twenty sixteen. So 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:12.160 how about them apples. 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.320 David is one of my favorite names all time. That 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:21.560 that sounds like a colic name to something a little Joe. 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:23.240 I want you to go go tel VIDI, go get 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.800 Chuck Allino and go get Louis Boombots. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:27.000 You bring it to the star. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:28.960 Looked at a little bit of moon pie, some nut 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.079 butters switches on. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.000 The way back right, go pick up some sandwiches. Peter A. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.439 Lonzo six home run again, talk about him m VP. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.000 It's the narrative for him is easier than some of 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.760 the other guys because he doesn't have another star of 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.760 his quality on the team, whereas the Braves of a 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.240 lot of guys who you know, star power, star star power. 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.679 Lindor Is is a star, but he doesn't have that 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.480 same kind of cachet that a Nicunya or like if 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.520 you look at the Dodgers with Mookie, Betts and Freeman 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.480 or Sodo and Machado, he doesn't have that other, you know, 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.000 Batman Robin kind of thing. Cubs agreed to terms with 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.280 Ian Happ on a three year, sixty one million dollar 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.120 contract extension. I was a little surprised he got no 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.960 trade in that, but and of course Mike Mayer wanted 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.599 us to plug Bobby wit the three steals and the 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.360 win over the Rangers, which is good. He's still hitting 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.880 two to twenty nine, which is bad. I'm not concerned 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.760 with Bobby Witt. He had a slow start last year too. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.880 Maybe it's just a slow stargar Welsh. 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.920 He was on my last week or whatever it was. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.520 By total by bat was one of the lowest in 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.800 the league. I think it was one twenty coming into 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.640 this this most recent week, and he's still giving you 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.160 counting stats and he's making up for any of the 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.640 stuff that's like a deficiency on the batting average. So yeah, 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.920 I'm I'm all about Bobby Witt. Anyone that's a little 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.040 bit worried or wanting to sell, I would be the buyer. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.640 All right, let's continue on with the injuries. Wah wah. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.280 While the Rangers put Corey Segar the ten day, I 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.560 l someone on Twitter blamed me for it, So there 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.200 you do, because I said the whole thing about you 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.120 see what happens when you think a position is going 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.640 to be good and then you'd get into the season. 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.440 In two weeks it's not anymore, and you know, and 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.960 there you go, it's my fault. I'm the problem. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:02.480 It's me. 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.840 Uh. Then you have the grade two strain, which means 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.200 it's gonna be at least a month long absence, so 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:08.720 he's gonna be out. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.440 And see that it was a grade two. Yeah I 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.800 am ye, I'm so sick of it. This was my worry, 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.280 like everyone's so look how deep it is. You can 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.040 just wait, you can just sit back and you can 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:21.080 wait and get no, you can't. 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.360 Now you couldn't just take Wonder Franco. That was my 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.920 answer to the entire of my Cory Secret teams. 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.480 I have Wander Froanco problem. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.200 Is like one Gory Seger team. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.560 I Wonder, but now I like a little bit less depth. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.240 I mean, good thing I got Franco, but like it's 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.200 a little bit less wrap. 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.880 Michael Gonfordo, we're removed from yesterday's game with the Dodgers 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.680 that left calf tightness. Keep an eye on that. The 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.440 calfs can be tricky. Orlando Arcia, you got hit on 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.080 the hand. Good news the left wrist, no breaks. The 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.080 X ray was negative there, So Mike yuesses he'll probably, you. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.200 Know, maybe I'll take the weekend off. 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:53.320 Now. 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.320 He's another guy that was in my video too, because 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.360 you need some middle infield guys right now with the 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.280 way the shortstops the hint ten or some out. 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.640 Cory, youre out. You need some guys here. And Or 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:02.360 has been hitting. 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.000 So hopefully this is more of a you know, it's bruise. 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:06.600 You take a day or two off and hopefully he's 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.400 back by Saturday or Sunday, maybe tomorrow. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:08.880 Who knows. 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:13.120 A Byron Buxton, head leg, Pride, lots of things injured 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:14.360 yesterday when he just. 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.080
