You can find 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.200 me on Twitter at is it the Welsh and Bubba. 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.160 It's ship time. We're pirates. We are pirrating the ship 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.520 called Championship. How are we doing, my friend? 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:33.920 Good, good, my friend. 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:35.680 It's fun to be back on a Tuesday with you, 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:37.680 and yeah, we're getting closer to the end here. You 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.240 had to have leagues a championship week, rode leagues. You 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.440 have like two weeks left, give or take. It's it's uh, 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.120 it's go time. It's a lot of fun and it's uh, 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.760 it's kind of nice to be getting to him, but 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.640 also kind of inks known as baseball fans. 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.400 It's towards the end. So yeah, good times. 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.400 I felt like you were about to We're gonna jump 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.840 into Weller manly. There once was a ship that put 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.720 two see the Yo Ho Ho ho a pirate rich 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.880 like for me, you know, the Welerman. The Wellermen come 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.120 to bringing those sugarman teah. I thought that's where we're 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:06.640 gonna go. 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.080 For the I leave all the antics to you. You 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.000 have your tr and stuff. I'll just kind of follow 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:11.440 the ship. 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.040 Yeah you said there. 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:15.360 I'm here all day. 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.640 The only part of my ship roster is ONELL cruise. 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:19.720 That's right, Well, we're here. 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.760 The only man that can strike out almost forty one 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.320 percent of the time. It hit two seventy two with 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:24.560 eight home runs. It's amazing. 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.720 But can hit a ball one hundred and twenty thousand 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.880 miles per hour. You see that and go, you know what, 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.399 here's the stat I'm waiting for. This is gonna kill me. 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.600 This would be my favorite thing of all time is 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.000 when and I'm telling you this is gonna happen, and 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.679 when it happens, think of me. Someone is going to 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.240 break down what the exit velocity of an ONEO cruise 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.920 hit would be on like Mars or the Moon, and 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.640 they'll be like, technically with you know, with no atmosphere 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.920 in this, it would travel twelve thousand feet. There's going 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:58.720 to be some lunar space calculation to ONEAL cruise and 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.440 that will be the day that I just put it 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:02.040 all aside. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.480 He's the He's like the un he's like the Uncle 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.520 Rico of baseball. He just does amazing things that no 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.840 one can predict. It's pretty crazy, but we. 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.920 Are, but we are. Doctor Glenn, thank you. You're on 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:16.760 your moon. Calculations of O'Neil Cruz. Please, But I've got 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.000 more complaining to do, and I think I'm definitely gonna 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.240 annoy the old hats in the chat or listening to 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.079 the podcast because Max schers are hurled six perfect innings. 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.960 Yesterday I guest six in a victory over the Brewers. 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:34.760 They pulled him after sixty eight pitches. We've done this 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:40.000 dance before. This is my opinion, have your opinion. I 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.040 think this is the dumbest thing that exists in baseball 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.640 and I hate it. And I don't care about the excuse. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.280 I don't care about returning from injury. I don't care 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.680 about saving the guy. I don't care about any of it. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:57.000 Pulling a player when they have a perfect game is 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.239 crazy on all levels to me. Baba, I don't know 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:01.040 how you feel about this. 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.760 It's kind of mixed because it's his first start back 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.720 from the ILA, is a rehab start for three and 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.480 two thirds innings. It's Max Schurzer, though, like I figured, 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.120 if Max's back. Max's back. We're not play kating. This 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:12.840 one the only thing I can think of. You know, 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.960 they clinched the playoffs last night. They did that whole dance. 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.840 If you saw, you know, Big Pete Alonso, he was 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:22.200 pelvic femness mates. It was pretty entertaining. But when it 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:26.280 comes to Schurzer, my only guess is that Schurzer gave 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.040 the approval to come out because no one has the 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.239 cojones to take him out. 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.320 I'm gonna say that much. So I put this one 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:31.880 on Sureser. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.280 I just don't care about any I mean, like, I 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:35.839 love you guys, but I just don't care. I don't 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.880 care about playoffs matter more. I don't care. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.520 I don't care about it. And you're a Diamondbacks fan. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:40.720 You don't know what the playoffs are really. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:41.119 Like that much? 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.000 No, no, I don't. But I also there's been twenty three, 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.440 twenty three perfect games in the history of baseball. Like 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.920 I get pissy about the no hitter stuff, but in 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.120 my pissiness, like I know, like in the back of 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.160 my head, it's like like I was at I think 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.760 it was Opening Day. You Darvish had six no hit 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.880 innings on the Diamondbacks, and they pulled him because he 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.560 was like walking three and he had a bunch of 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.240 pitches and it's an opening week and I still think 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.360 it's kind of dumb but whatever. But like the back 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:08.560 of my head, I know it, but I'm like, this 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.120 is stupid. They got to no hitter. A perfect game 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.160 is something completely different, and I can't fathom it. So 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.120 I even pulled this up. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.599 Here, buch, I throw one side at your Diamondbacks and 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.080 here a bogman. Now here we go. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.360 I'm gonna start muting people in the chat. 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.120 By the way, I love the chat. The chat's on 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:28.480 fire right now, by the way. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.440 Yeah, I mean I and I knew, and like I 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.320 said when I said old hats, I knew exactly the 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.640 people that we're gonna start complaining and bitching about it, 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.400 But listen, it's a perfect game. I don't care at 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.080 this part of the year. It's also sure. My my 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.719 logic for uh, the prop yesterday was sound. You know, 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.480 it was what was it, four and a half, five 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.000 and a half? It was some stupid number with sure, 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:49.800 And it's like, listen, the guys, if he can get 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.840 through the third inning, he's probably gonna get this he did. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.679 He had nine strikeouts. But a perfect game is something 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.159 special regardless of playoff runs. This isn't also a picture 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.479 that casually breaks down, like I know Max is breaking 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.120 down a little bit more. But this isn't the same 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.600 as a lot of these other guys. This isn't a 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.640 young reliever that hasn't had a whole lot of experience. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:13.279 This isn't Steven Strasburg, This isn't Clayton Kershaw. This is 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:14.000 Max Scherzer. 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.599 And there's a book he broke down the playoffs last 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:17.400 two years. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.560 Yeah, well, I still want this perfect game. Here is 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.120 what I've got for you since two This actually since 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.279 like nineteen eighty six, because there was one in eighty six. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.560 So since then, here are the perfect games that were pulled. 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.560 Tell me, I mean, obviously you have less of an 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.400 issue than I do, but tell me, you know if 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.960 there's anything to these. In twenty fifteen, right around this date, 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.640 by the way, almost a year almost, what would that be? 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.599 Seven years to the date, September twenty second, Daniel Norris 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.479 had a perfect game going through five and then he 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.240 was pulled. He trying to see if it had the 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.520 pitch count on it. He had he was coming off 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.760 of a DL as we would call it. They had 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.640 set him to a sixty five pitch limit. They pulled 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.200 him at sixty three. D Angel Norris is different than 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.120 Max Sasure. Okay, we agree with that, all right, cool 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:10.280 next one. In twenty sixteen, Rich Hill was pulled on 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.920 September tenth. Again September trend. Here he went seven, struck 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.600 out nine and it's just rich Hill. It's just rich Hill. 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.680 They had pulled him. Dodgers were up five to nothing. 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.360 You are six outs away from a perfect game. Crazy. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.440 Dave Roberts is the biggest culprit of this. By the way, 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.679 in August, the Rays pulled Blake Snell. He went five 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.280 perfect innings, struck out six. This was in twenty eighteen. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.520 You've got Max Kranick in twenty twenty one who had 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.520 five innings, struck out three against the Cardinals and then 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.760 he was pulled and he did not get the complete 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.800 one ten or Hawk You've got five innings, struck out 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.560 eight on October second, twenty twenty one. And then most recently, 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:55.320 Clayton Kershaw seven innings, thirteen strikeouts, perfect game April thirteenth, 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.800 at the beginning of the year was so obviously there's 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.960 always a storyline to these. But when I look at this, 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:03.920 it's like, what do you have? You have a bunch 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:09.240 of young, inexperienced pitchers, and then you've got Kershaw, you know, 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.160 Rich Hill, I mean Rich. You've got the Rich Hill 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:15.760 who's perpetually injured. You've got Kershaw who's relatively perpetually injured, 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.560 and then you have just a bunch of broken down 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.679 young pitchers. I just don't care. I think it's crazy 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.480 that we're that this still goes on, especially a perfect game. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.480 But that's just me and you old hats can sit 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.200 there and have fun and complain about the playoffs and. 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.920 Want to hug talk about the do you need a hug. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:33.960 I'm not a Mets fan. I'm not a Mets fan. 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.840 I just I can't believe it. I just I still 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:40.800 can't believe this, especially that instance of sixty eight pitches 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.640 in September, Max sures or I don't know, pitch to contact, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.080 You give it up, you immediately pull him. We'll all 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.200 be good, Bubba will all be good. But no perfect 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.120 game for us, so we can we can just complain 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:53.560 about it instead of celebrate it. 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.200 There you go. Yeah, that's that's what we do in 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:56.640 in September baseball. 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.640 That's right, Astros clinch the Al West for the fifth 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.160 time in six years. Astro's still quite something, my friend. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.920 Yeah, they are fuego. They've had this one wrapped up 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.640 almost as long as the Dodgers. It's just ridiculous how 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.400 good they are, and they seem like they they actually 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.679 seem like they're bad this year, which feels really weird, 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:14.840 like they're really freaky good. 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.320 Yeah, you guys are killing me and the doctor. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:18.800 I love the chat. That's amazing. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:23.040 Yeah, no, Doctor, Glenn's my buddy. He's my only buddy 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:23.560 in this chat. 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.440 It wouldn't be a Tuesday if we weren't talking about 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:26.760 a towny versus judge for the MVP. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.240 Let's do it, just the script out the window. 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.440 The one thing I appreciate is Wonky's got my back 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.400 on these like of course, of course, manager. I don't 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:35.840 care what the manager is saying. I don't care about 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.280 any of that stuff. I care I care about seeing 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.800 a perfect game within the real question, pictures of our time. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.840 The real question, what would the fan have done? The 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.960 sitting behind Tony Larus that made the calls for the 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:46.520 White Sox. 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.000 That's the question. Mm. 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.440 Yeah, we're talking about managers. Like the real manager sits 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.079 behind larus So like a puppet master. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:53.400 So what would he have done? 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.160 I actually think you might have been great if the 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:56.600 White Sox would have done, if they would have let 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.880 that guy be like manager for a day, since they're 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.560 going through all their manager earlier shoes, I think that 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.160 would have been great. Wet Clayton Kershaw. We brought up 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.520 Clinton Carshaw struck got ten over six innings of run 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.600 on one run baseball Monday to get a win against 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.160 the Diamondbacks. Kershaw has been pretty good. Pete Alonzo hit 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.120 a three run homer and stile a base on Monday. 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.360 That's a combo meal in a victory over the Brewers. 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.920 How about this. Logan Gilbert struck out a career high 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.839 eleven over six frames one run ball on Monday as 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.520 the Mariners go to a nine one victory over the 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.960 Angels and Logan Gilbert he had his bumps in the 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.720 middle of the year, but it's just been I think 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.240 a completely underrated pitcher all season long. 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.560 Yeah, over the last like I'd say four or five starts, 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.440 he's looked like an absolute ace out there right now. 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.040 And it's pretty crazy looking at Seattle. They got Gilbert, 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.280 they got Kirby. It's pretty crazy. They what they're doing. 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.920 Gilbert has allowed one runner less and four straight, two 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.400 runner lesson six straight. He's striking out the world. So 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:51.920 he's locked in right now. 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.839 By the way, Saniel Contract can have five complete games 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.400 in a season and go, but Max Scherzer can't go 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.000 to one hundred pitches for a perfect game. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.400 Gotcha, Oh, this is good, this is good. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.240 Ahmed Rosario, oh Med Rosario, let's wait to rile me 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.719 up two for four with a three run home or 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.720 two stolen bases on Monday as a Guardian's one eleven 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.160 to four. I think Wonky put that on just because 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.360 of my early predictions of Amed Rosario, which has just 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.319 been eh. He just wasn't great. He's just just fine, 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.839 totally fine. On the injury front, uh oh. Carlos verdon 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.600 next start been pushed back to Friday against Arizona. Bubba 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.880 Carlos Verdon blister issues. It's not the normal things that 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.160 we worry about with Radon any concerns and Championship Week 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:35.240 moving forward. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.480 I would be if you're for fantasy reasons. The Giants 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.319 a have no reason to throw him out there because 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:40.120 they're not good. 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:41.480 But blisters. 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.000 We all how this goes, he might feel like he's 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.560 healed and it could pop up in any later. 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.920 So it's a concerning situation for sure. 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.400 Yeah, Mackenzie Gore scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.240 You know, I see the rotal world keep posting about 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:54.760 I'm not even sure why we care at this point. 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.800 I don't or like he's gonna come back. He's going 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.679 to be relieved. There's no fantasy impact to it, but 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.640 he is going to be coming back. There some fantasy 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.240 impact to Ryan Nelson, who's expected to make his next 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.240 start this weekend against the Giants. He wasn't that great 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.760 against San Diego, but he also just didn't get blown up. 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.959 He's really controlled himself. He didn't get a lot of 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.959 swing and misses. He's going to be found out a 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.680 little bit more. But I actually kind of like this start. 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.520 Do you like this start for Ryan Nelson this weekend? 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.319 I love it. Pick on the Giants all you can. 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:19.880 There's a lot of swing and miss in that lineup, 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.839 so they'll get they'll have like one hot game a week. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:23.320 Other than I just enjoy yourselves. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.600 Outside of the estrada, he's like the guy, But outside 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.920 of estrada there's a lot of pick Yeah. John Hayman 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.080 the New York Post reports an MRI on Frankie Monta's 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.920 right shoulder didn't reveal any major structural damage, but probably 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.160 one of those things that you can get some goodbye 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:41.600 see you. They're not going to do any thing for 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:42.959 you for this week or through the end of the 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.120 eye exactly. You can just move on. David Bednar had 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.160 a scoreless inning on Monday in a Minor League rehab 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.079 appearance for Tripa. A should return to the Pirates later 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:55.120 this week. Maybe a last minute save. I mean, if 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.040 you got him for the weekend, you might be able 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:58.360 to pull out a last save or two. If he's 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.679 sitting on the wire, rodo, guys probably gonna drop whatever 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.640 fab you might potentially have left, just to maybe pick 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.439 up a save or two on the back end of 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.319 the year. It's still the Pirates though, which is a 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:09.200 little bit of a problem. 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.079 But four wins, how many saves? 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.120 It's the question, Yeah, I mean, what do you I mean, 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.280 are you optimistic that we can get anything out of 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:16.920 bed Innars. 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:17.520 Yeah. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:18.960 The biggest thing with him is, unlike some of these 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.439 other speculaive guys, he's gonna get your strikeouts and ratios, 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.640 which might help out. It's kind of tough and it 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.040 might help you. You want the saves, obviously, but he'll 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:27.760 get the work. And when they pitched him as always 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.200 like two winnings, it felt like so you might evenet 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:30.120 a sneak in a win for you. 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.600 So I like him. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.440 And then Blake trying and on track for activation when 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.280 first eligible on Thursday. So keep an eye on that 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.920 as we talk about all those guys. This is interesting 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:44.400 that walk you put on here War leaders through September 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.160 twentieth on the year, So we'll go positional stuff in 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:53.040 the NL. The NL leader is Paul Goldschmidt with seven 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:57.520 point six. The person behind him is a cardinal at 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.800 seven point five, and the person behind him is another 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:07.319 cardinal at six point five. Tommy Edmond Cardinals are all right. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.320 Cardinals did themselves pretty remember when they were gonna get 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.360 one soda and it didn't happen. She just made two amazing. 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.640 Moves for you know, lownries. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.800 At Montgomery and Quintana and then they just continue to win. 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.400 Can you believe that? I mean again, I would ask 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.120 this question someone stat Doctor Glenn's looking up and doing 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.719 the calculations for all of my moon stuff. I need 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.680 someone else to look. When is the last time you've 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:37.000 had three players on one team be the consecutive leaders 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.360 in war in their division of NL or AL? Has 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:41.240 that ever happened before? 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.840 I doubt it. I doubt it. 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.880 It's it's a pretty crazy run that they got going 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.760 on there, and they're just loaded from top to bottom 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.320 one of like I bet you and Brendan Donovan's got 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.480 like a three something of War like he's been productive 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.720 out of nowhere. They've got a very good team that 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:56.679 is scary to face in the postseason. 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.920 That I mean, that lead, like that run is just 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.280 insane to me when I look at that, like three 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.240 Cardinals in there, but none in the eight marker because 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.600 you know, eat into each uh on the ale positional players, 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.200 Oh you look at this? Didn't Jim's ask for this earlier. 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.080 We're not going to do the debate. But as far 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.040 as al position players go, and this is position players, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.400 Aaron Judge with a nine point six War the highest 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.840 of any player, but number two eight point seven Shoho Tani? 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.000 Who's two players? 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.840 Is that? Does that count his pitching and hitting more 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.240 or just a great question. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.080 That's what I'm curious about. Let me take a look 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.200 and see if because. 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.280 I think it's just hitting, but I might be wrong. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.520 I feel like that's going to be the combo. But 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.840 let's take a look here war Yeah. Well, because now 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.840 I'm looking at this and it actually says Judge is 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:46.560 at ten point four war on updated and then this 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.960 is on fangrass. I don't see Otani. Is it tiny 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:51.960 only under pitchers? 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.640 Probably just discriminate. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.880 Yeah, well, I mean why not show us both on those's? 0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.400 So it's just let's get this real quick. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.720 If I can get this to go pitching, so ten 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:09.760 point four for Judge and then on the pitching side update. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.040 Why is it taking so long? 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:12.160 Now? 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.200 For whatever reason? O Tani is just not on here? 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:15.400 Is he not meaning like qualific? 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.080 Tell Paul get his stuff together over there and figure 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.720 it out. Yeah, I don't twitch. Get off a twitch 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.120 and get get your website figured out. 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.240 You know I'm talking about old hat there. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.760 But I'll be here all day. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.080 Yeah, I just don't see it on here, maybe because 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.440 it is someone that it is combined. But I wonder 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.240 if you moved up a little bit, but you've already 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.080 got judge over ten, which is ridiculous number on the 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:44.680 n L side, going back over to pitchers, a huge 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:49.240 discrepancy on war versus pictures because Sandy Ocontro, who I 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.000 think I said the other show or one of the 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.560 shows earlier in the week, is the absolute favorite of 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.080 the sy Youngs, more than Justin Verlander was in the 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.760 a L minus four hundred and then the next pact 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.080 next person I think Freed was like, you know, plus 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.080 five hundred or something. Ol contrast is a seven point 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.920 four war compared to number two, which was Max Freed 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.840 with a five point seven and Aaron Nola with a 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.200 five point one. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:13.800 So it's a huge. 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.280 Gap between pitchers and talk about value and what That 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.200 also tells an interesting story on the AL side, where 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.520 there's been plenty of case being made about Dylan ce 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:26.200 swinning with cy Young, the gap is much smaller, and 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.600 Dylan sees is a higher war than Verlander this year 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.360 five point seven to five point one. So the lowest 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.320 war of anybody on this list is Verlander. And Nola 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.120 as far as the leaders go, and they're tied. Do 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.920 you have any stake or any opinion on the Verlander 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.320 versus cis al Cy Young. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.960 I'm kind of biased on Verlander. I'm really really impressed 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:47.720 with what he's done. And he's even missed some time, 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.080 so that might hurt him a bit. But I like Verlander, 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.400 but you can't go wrong with Cease. He was dominant, 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.040 like for about what ten twelve straight starts? Like, where's 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.520 fran Ervaldez in this conversation? Dude's got like twenty four 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:02.400 straight quality starts twenty five? Yeah, where's he at? 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.600 That's an insane marker, Franbervel does it only shows a 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.280 four point I don't even know how it's possible for 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:12.359 a four point two war on according to fan grafts, 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.840 which is the twelfth highest. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.200 Of any pitcher. Demand to recount. 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.920 Cease is Actually so there's some updated numbers here. Ceas 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.680 is four point four in the AL and now Verlander's 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.760 up to five point one. Again. I don't know if 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.560 there's different calculations being done here, but Verlander's a bit 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.480 above him now five point one versus Ceases four point four. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.080 But interestingly enough a higher war in the al is 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.879 Kevin Gosman. Kevin Gosman a five point two. But if 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.280 you're looking at like award season versus War, I think that's. 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:47.720
