Speaker 1: we had a loss in the entertainment world yesterday. I
Speaker 1: know you're a little younger than me, but George went
Speaker 1: from Cheers passed away yesterday, the beloved Norm. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you ever watched Chi Years and Syndication or
Speaker 1: have you ever a Cheers guy? But it was the
Speaker 1: yesteryear of when sitcoms dominated. I remember as a little kid,
Speaker 1: I was allowed to stay up and usually Cheers was on.
Speaker 1: I remember on Thursday nights, and I didn't really get
Speaker 1: any of the jokes, but I just wanted to stay
Speaker 1: up late to watch it.
Speaker 2: That's what I Yeah, I definitely saw like episodes of Cheers.
Speaker 2: It wasn't my thing. There there were some of those
Speaker 2: shows that like I have a visceral just hate for
Speaker 2: when I hear the Mash theme, I just I hated it.
Speaker 2: As a kid, I hated Mash everything about it. But
Speaker 2: I just didn't understand it.
Speaker 1: That's why.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe, but I hated just the you
Speaker 2: know I.
Speaker 1: Go to bed. Yeah, well I just ask your mom
Speaker 1: show that's weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah she does. She goes Christopher Welsh. I didn't like
Speaker 2: that show, but it was in the same vein and
Speaker 2: not that I hated Cheers, but it was just I
Speaker 2: didn't understand. I didn't get it. It wasn't my thing.
Speaker 2: It wasn't one of the shows. I was actually ironically
Speaker 2: more of a like Nicked Night old show. So when
Speaker 2: people are watching Cheers and Mash, I'd be watching like
Speaker 2: I love Lucy and you know.
Speaker 1: Dick I love. I grew up on that. My mom
Speaker 1: was a big Lucille ball fan. But also you know,
Speaker 1: George went was the super fan, right, you know do Bears?
Speaker 1: I mean that classic A loss in the comedy world,
Speaker 1: for sure, and some wins and losses. Yesterday in the
Speaker 1: baseball we're gonna get to the injuries. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: to the rookies and more. Let's start with a bird song.
Speaker 1: Hayden bird Song. Uh, and you could tell everybody he's
Speaker 1: Hayden bird Song. He's a pretty good picture now that
Speaker 1: it's done. He gave up one run, zero, earned four strikeouts,
Speaker 1: five innings. Any takeaways from Hayden bird Song yesterday?
Speaker 2: Yes, the bird song was a singing Slider's really good.
Speaker 2: Got twelve whiffs, thirty three percent with rate. He ended
Speaker 2: up having a thirty four percent csw which is really solid.
Speaker 2: It just all came back together. He threw strikes, he
Speaker 2: was throwing pitches in the zone. I don't know if
Speaker 2: there was like monstrous with stuff in general, but he
Speaker 2: was touching. He hit ninety eight. He was sitting ninety six,
Speaker 2: which looked really good. It looks like there's going to
Speaker 2: be some more strikeout ability in there. The pitch mix
Speaker 2: just it was. It was awesome. It was good because
Speaker 2: we had talked a lot about like how you know,
Speaker 2: Hayden bird Song is in the rotation, he's one of
Speaker 2: the you know, and they had thrown him into being
Speaker 2: a reliever. If he's in there, he's he's gonna be
Speaker 2: a guy we're gonna want to pick up and probably
Speaker 2: started streaming. Five hits, one run, no oh, it was
Speaker 2: an unearned run, four strikeouts, no walks, only five hard
Speaker 2: hit balls against him. I think a very very good
Speaker 2: showing in and outing as somebody that borders that like
Speaker 2: streamy hold on maybe probably a hold on to right now.
Speaker 2: Let's see if he can get through a couple more starts,
Speaker 2: but very very good outing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of questions flying in today too, in
Speaker 1: some comments too. As he thrasher Logan Henderson went from
Speaker 1: streamer to part of my rotation. You're welcome. Sure. I
Speaker 1: feel like we were the ones here that were really
Speaker 1: on the Logan Henderson train. At least I was you're
Speaker 1: still Miserowski, which, by the way, there's a question here
Speaker 1: about Misserowski. I want to find it here because do
Speaker 1: you believe this is from Joey? Do you buy Miserowski's
Speaker 1: improved controls super two keep him down? Is that the
Speaker 1: only reason at this point he's hitting over one hundred
Speaker 1: miles an hour on the radar gun. I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna see him in mid June. I think the Milwaukee
Speaker 1: rotation at the end of June is gonna look very
Speaker 1: different than the end of May. That's my take.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was Logan up until just recently
Speaker 2: simply because I thought Misserroowski was going to be destined
Speaker 2: for the bullpen because of who he was, So Logan
Speaker 2: Henderson was the guy that was going to get the
Speaker 2: opportunity in always really good command. But Miserrowski has I
Speaker 2: think I talked about it on the Prospecting episode from
Speaker 2: a week ago, that he's also changed his pitch mix.
Speaker 2: He's moved his VLO down about a mile per hour
Speaker 2: he's thrown. I think it's more sliders that he's throwing
Speaker 2: right now with the fastball, and we've seen huge command
Speaker 2: uptick and I think that's for real, Like they obviously
Speaker 2: made these adjustments, so he could attempt to throw more
Speaker 2: strikes and less walks, less balls, and he is doing that.
Speaker 2: So I think this is huge. Dude through like one
Speaker 2: hundred and three at the end of you know, at
Speaker 2: the end of one of his last starts. So like,
Speaker 2: I think he's going to come up, and I agree
Speaker 2: with what you're saying. Did they feel one hundred percent comfortable?
Speaker 2: Yet clearly they don't. That's why guys like Carlos Rodriguez
Speaker 2: or are going to come up, because they're going to
Speaker 2: have to make like a concerted move because I think
Speaker 2: when Miserowski comes up, he's up for good. And I
Speaker 2: agree with you. I think the start of the year rotation,
Speaker 2: it's going to look funny different in about you know,
Speaker 2: three weeks where like Woodriff's back and I think Misserowski
Speaker 2: does get in that rotation. I still think it could
Speaker 2: be like three weeks to a month, but I think
Speaker 2: he'll be there because clearly Tobias Myers is not there
Speaker 2: anymore like he was optioned to gain. Like he is
Speaker 2: out of that thing, So we can let that go.
Speaker 2: King Tana is hurt, Chad Patrick, it's Peralta and Woodroff
Speaker 2: who have a lock right now. And then I think
Speaker 2: the rest is kind of open for the taking. And
Speaker 2: that's why I think Logan Henderson is locked to the rotation.
Speaker 2: So you know, hat tipped everybody that picked him up.
Speaker 2: But I also think Miserowski can take that.
Speaker 1: Here Sin seven strikeouts, five innings for Logan Henderson. He
Speaker 1: went over his k prop. Dylan Sieze went over his
Speaker 1: k prop. Stupid Spencer Streider did not so mad. I
Speaker 1: almost had the three for there. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper and the Phillies had a good night three
Speaker 1: for five, two doubles, two rubies for him. Kyle Schwarber
Speaker 1: hit another home run. Hazus Lozardo ten strikeouts of course
Speaker 1: the Rockies, but whatever, good night for the Phillies, good
Speaker 1: night for Aaron Judge. Also, he had a sixteenth home
Speaker 1: run that leads the American League. Yankees won five to
Speaker 1: two over the Rangers. Tonight. You get Jacob de Grom
Speaker 1: pitching in New York for the first time in a
Speaker 1: long time. That should be fun. I want to talk
Speaker 1: about Abner Uribe. He picked up his first save yesterday.
Speaker 1: He struck out the side against the Orioles. He is
Speaker 1: a one point one to nine ERA one point one
Speaker 1: five FIP, thirty two strikeouts, just ten walks in twenty
Speaker 1: two innings. I mean, Euriba has been dominant and I
Speaker 1: know McGill is the closer there, but in your deeper
Speaker 1: leagues were holds and you know the counting stats that
Speaker 1: come along with your rebay. Do you think he's worth
Speaker 1: having in a fifteen team league right now on your roster.
Speaker 2: I think it's a good speculation. Saving holds makes a
Speaker 2: lot of sense. He's got almost thirty five percent K percentage,
Speaker 2: which probably keeping him down a little bit is the
Speaker 2: walk rate. It's over ten percent. You know, if you're
Speaker 2: going to be closing games, you got to lower that
Speaker 2: gap here. But I mean he has been Guys are
Speaker 2: not barreling against him, They're not hitting the ball hard.
Speaker 2: When they are, it's a career low. It's just the walks.
Speaker 2: The walks are better than they have been in the past.
Speaker 2: But as soon as he starts to show I think
Speaker 2: some consistency in that area, it's going to be a
Speaker 2: lights out change. Because it's an over fifty percent with
Speaker 2: rate slider. I mean, it is one of the better
Speaker 2: relief sliders out there right now. He's just got to
Speaker 2: be consistent as he throws a four seam sinker and
Speaker 2: doing that. But yeah, I think he's a good speculative
Speaker 2: save guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Thrasher pointing out to course is no longer the
Speaker 1: scary place. Remember, he's like, oh, I can't go throw
Speaker 1: a starting are out and Corus Field not anymore. So
Speaker 1: let him go out there, because at least they're gonna
Speaker 1: come ouver with strikeouts. For that abysmal lineup, they're just
Speaker 1: so bad, so bad. It's time for everyone's favorite segment
Speaker 1: in the show, Joe st Damas, because the Nationals are
Speaker 1: calling up Robert Hassle the third two eighty eight, three
Speaker 1: thirty seven, four or five slash, four homers, nine steals.
Speaker 1: This is you know, got exasperated timeline wise because Dylan
Speaker 1: Cruz has an injury. He's gonna get n R I
Speaker 1: on the lower back. So that's not good for Dylan Cruz.
Speaker 1: But maybe a little break regardless, isn't the worst thing
Speaker 1: for Dylan Cruz. Maybe a little rehab start, a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks off, you know, maybe take a cruise, a cruise,
Speaker 1: cruise a Dylan Cruz, a little cruise, maybe around the cruise. Yes,
Speaker 1: remember a Booze Cruise for all the guys named Cruise.
Speaker 1: That would be fun.
Speaker 2: How many different cruises could we get in baseball? There
Speaker 2: are u Z, there's L E cru c R E
Speaker 2: w S. Do we have a Tom like a Tom
Speaker 2: in baseball? We don't have a Tom Cruise in baseball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody who's sick.
Speaker 2: Trying to get all my cruises.
Speaker 1: Can't believe He's in his sixties and that Mission Impossible
Speaker 1: movie is coming out this weekend.
Speaker 2: He looks it. He's looking the part like he does
Speaker 2: the stuff. The guy said he's gonna do it till
Speaker 2: he's one hundred, and I completely believe it. I think
Speaker 2: I think Tom Cruise is going to die on a
Speaker 2: movie like That's how it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the rookie. Lookie Nick Kurtz
Speaker 1: two before with a two run dinger. I saw the homer.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw. Welsh was opo, which
Speaker 1: I like. That's a really good sign. Driving the ball
Speaker 1: the opposite field is a good sign for Nick Kurtz.
Speaker 1: So hanging there.
Speaker 2: About Welsh tra damas about we stop worrying and bitching
Speaker 2: about Nick Kurtz.
Speaker 1: Though in all fairness, you said he's in twenty. Worry
Speaker 1: he's in too seventy, and then we sitting two twenty
Speaker 1: a week later. I think that's when I started to
Speaker 1: get a little antsy. But Gunner Hogland five runs, five strikeouts.
Speaker 1: It wasn't great for him, but he was scoreless for
Speaker 1: the first three innings. Then a hoppy in a home
Speaker 1: run and they left some guys on and the inherited
Speaker 1: base runner scored. So I don't want to kill Gunner
Speaker 1: Hogland in this start too bad, because I know he's
Speaker 1: been one of my guys too. I think it was
Speaker 1: just a rough night at the office for him, unfortunately
Speaker 1: against the Angels, not the greatest team, a team that
Speaker 1: doesn't have my trout right now. But I'm not jumping
Speaker 1: ship or dropping him, so just hold tight. Bad starts
Speaker 1: are gonna happen. He's a kid, it's a tough ballpark.
Speaker 1: Balls are gonna fly out of that place.
Speaker 2: Let's show us your hoglin'.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could do that on Twitch.
Speaker 1: I could try.
Speaker 2: Another guy's name. Was another guy's name yesterday?
Speaker 1: What the guy?
Speaker 2: You read it off?
Speaker 1: The guy with the Ryan Weathers Follow Welsh on Twitter
Speaker 1: if you haven't because he tweeted something hilarious. Yes, oh
Speaker 1: that yeah, during the Marlins game, a Ryan Weathers moment
Speaker 1: that I had.
Speaker 2: I was like, sitting here, I had one of those moments.
Speaker 2: I had MLB TV on and I'm just I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna say what he said, but I'm just sitting here
Speaker 2: doing some work. I can't and I'm doing some work
Speaker 2: and then the B and I had it, you know,
Speaker 2: not headphones blaring, and the announcer said something which was
Speaker 2: a little bit of a slip of the tongue, and
Speaker 2: I went, huh, what did he say? And then I
Speaker 2: had to rewind it and I was like, he just
Speaker 2: said that and it was live. So I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I can be one of the first on Twitter that's
Speaker 2: gonna post this because everybody else will out there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, go check it out too much. Ronnie Mauricio
Speaker 1: is back. He's played for Triple A, so he was
Speaker 1: activated and said down. So he was three for five
Speaker 1: with a solo homer Tuesday. Do you think at some
Speaker 1: point you're gonna see Mauricio because he could play a
Speaker 1: little third, he could play second, he can play the outfield.
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see where they play him at Triple
Speaker 1: A because Vento's has struggled this year a little bit.
Speaker 1: The second base has kind of been wide open, They've
Speaker 1: had some injuries in the outfield. Do you think Mauricio
Speaker 1: could be an option for the Mets at some point?
Speaker 2: So? I think he was playing. I had a friend
Speaker 2: who was out where he was rehabbing. I think he
Speaker 2: was playing third base. Him and Jet Williams were there,
Speaker 2: So I think that's where they're gonna go. I do
Speaker 2: think there's a possibility you're gonna see Mauricio. I just
Speaker 2: don't think it's gonna be with the Mets. I think
Speaker 2: he's the perfect prime trade chip. Yeah, get him out.
Speaker 2: I'd want to move him for Yeah, I'm starting pitcher.
Speaker 2: You've already got Luisan Helcune, You've got Viento's, you've got Beatty,
Speaker 2: you've got Jet Williams that's coming up soon. I just
Speaker 2: don't think like the path makes a ton of sense.
Speaker 2: So I think if there's a right buyer out there,
Speaker 2: Mauricio is probably a pretty decent trade chip. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know it's not gonna be the lite we didn't
Speaker 2: get you move past it, but incredible by the way
Speaker 2: that Every single piece of the Jan Soto trade is
Speaker 2: going to be like is active on the Nationals roster.
Speaker 2: And if we get a start in the next couple
Speaker 2: of days of Mackenzie Gore, every single piece will be
Speaker 2: playing James Wood, McKenzie Gore, cj Abrams, and Robert Hassel.
Speaker 2: They were all traded for James Wood looks like one
Speaker 2: of or not. They're all traded for Wan Soda. Looks
Speaker 2: like one of the most lopsided trades of all time,
Speaker 2: especially for the production that you're getting out of. I
Speaker 2: don't think there'll be that type of regret with a
Speaker 2: Ronnie Mauricio. But you compare Ronnie Mauricio with maybe another
Speaker 2: piece or two and you could probably get a pretty
Speaker 2: big haul out there. So I think we do see
Speaker 2: Mauricio this year. I just don't know if it's with
Speaker 2: the Mets anymore.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what the Mets are going to
Speaker 1: be looking for too. And it's so funny the hyperbole
Speaker 1: of the hot take New York Sports radio that's going
Speaker 1: on that I see clips in my reels of the
Speaker 1: fake outrage about Juan Soda. It's so dumb. It's freaking
Speaker 1: may He's going through a little slump. He's got the classic.
Speaker 1: I signed a big contract.
Speaker 2: He's got a hustle.
Speaker 1: Joe thought. He's fine, He's fine, Okay of this generation,
Speaker 1: if not the best air of this generation. He's fine.
Speaker 1: It's fine. He'll hustle when it matters, you know, when
Speaker 1: you're you know, Look, do I want him to hustle
Speaker 1: out the ground balls when they're possible? Yes? Do I
Speaker 1: want him? Am I gonna freak out in May because
Speaker 1: he's cold a little bit after an emotional Yankee series? No? No,
Speaker 1: in fact, this is a freaking out a little bit
Speaker 1: not does it?
Speaker 2: Does it looks like real worried.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried in the slightest. In fact, I'd like
Speaker 1: to acquire him everywhere. I'd be standing out trades all
Speaker 1: over the place for Wansoa right now. If people are
Speaker 1: worrying about the investment they made, which.
Speaker 2: I'm literally gaslighting. I'm trying to I was just trying
Speaker 2: to gaslight you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not gonna work. Roman Anthony launched his sixth
Speaker 1: homer in tripa A yesterday. Also, you got to help
Speaker 1: me with this one. Welsh. I know they call him password?
Speaker 1: Is it? John Steen Johnson Nixon Garcia, Justin Nixon.
Speaker 2: This is the this is my nemesis, I think is
Speaker 2: Justin Nixon, just Nixon Garcia. But we call it. We
Speaker 2: just called him the password.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it. If his name was Ya Snixon instead,
Speaker 1: like yas Queen. I'd rather do that. I think that
Speaker 1: would be more fun. Yes, yeah, Snickson Garcia. In fact,
Speaker 1: that's what he's gonna be on the show. Three run
Speaker 1: homer for him. He just got promoted at Triple A
Speaker 1: recently also did a Triple A. I'm throwing this out
Speaker 1: there for the deeper league homies out there watching the
Speaker 1: show today. Alan Roden, who broke camp with the Blue Jays,
Speaker 1: struggled at the major league level, got sent down, but
Speaker 1: he's been raking since he got sent down. Two for
Speaker 1: three with a solo homer two walks yesterday. Check out
Speaker 1: the slash Welsh three eighty six four to sixty six
Speaker 1: eighty two, three homers in ten games since he got demoted.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be down there too much longer.
Speaker 1: The question is where does he play when he comes
Speaker 1: back up that that's the tricky part right now. But
Speaker 1: Rodin is crushing it right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rodin was like an early season potent. I think
Speaker 2: I think he got some early run in the season,
Speaker 2: so yeah, yeah, for sure, and.
Speaker 1: I had to cut him because he just wasn't getting
Speaker 1: it done unfortunately.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think he's definitely a guy to monitor.
Speaker 2: Lee's killing me asking Welsh how to pronounce a player's name.
Speaker 2: I could watch that for the entire show. You know,
Speaker 2: I am quite a bit better than anybody else on
Speaker 2: getting minor league pronunciation, Like everybody on the planet was
Speaker 2: doing the Keller nick thing and I had to correct everybody.
Speaker 2: But to your pointly, you're not wrong about that. That
Speaker 2: is just a jumbling of letters. I actually had. There
Speaker 2: was a I'm forgetting his name, but there's a Royals
Speaker 2: prospect the other day when I was out there, He's
Speaker 2: got kind of a similar ish name and it was
Speaker 2: like Yoniker and I was like, that is that how
Speaker 2: you say it? And he like was like, yes, that's
Speaker 2: exactly how you say it, and I was like so
Speaker 2: proud of myself, but this is just a bunch of
Speaker 2: letters that don't feel like they fix. And I mean,
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you. You put an X
Speaker 2: in somewhere. Well, shan't go and give it to you.
Speaker 1: In all fairness, that's pretty good. It's spelled j h
Speaker 1: O s t y. Then it's an n x.
Speaker 2: O N so it's like a HOSTI Nixon jehostin. It
Speaker 2: looks like it looks like Cali spelled this with the
Speaker 2: Jay in the fund.
Speaker 1: It's completely Cali spelled Johosty Nixon Garcia. I think that
Speaker 1: I think that's it. That makes sense to me. Justin Nixon,
Speaker 1: justin Nixon a whole. Anyway, let's get to some more
Speaker 1: of the questions we've got out here. Here's a question
Speaker 1: from Joey morning Fellas up been stashing bezign at a four
Speaker 1: year keeper league with hopes of twenty twenty five call up.
Speaker 1: Should I bail with the I l used net. Yes,
Speaker 1: he hasn't been great, and on top of that, I'm
Speaker 1: fine with that.
Speaker 2: He's well beyond anything else. He's he's out for eight
Speaker 2: to ten weeks, so he's out for quite some time.
Speaker 2: He's gon't actually be out here in Arizona rehabbing. That
Speaker 2: lines him up to maybe come back in August. Tell
Speaker 2: you right now, prime AFL candidate, like this is the
Speaker 2: type of guy that's coming to the Arizona Fall League
Speaker 2: because he's gonna miss. If he misses through August, you're
Speaker 2: gonna have to put him back at Double A. You're
Speaker 2: not gonna quick time, because sometimes there's a weird thing
Speaker 2: that happens in like August September, where you'll get guys
Speaker 2: that go to levels that don't make sense just for
Speaker 2: playing time, you know. So you have a guy that's
Speaker 2: a clear high, a guy that goes to Double A
Speaker 2: just to get some extra games. He's gonna miss a
Speaker 2: significant amount of time. Was also kind of struggly. He
Speaker 2: will be in the AFLU this year. I can almost
Speaker 2: parent the AFL. Yeah, so you can cut bait in
Speaker 2: any type of redraft leagues.
Speaker 1: Thinner is up next year. Would you drop Canning for
Speaker 1: bird Song? I would not.
Speaker 2: Canning is so tough for me. I want to look
Speaker 2: at his numbers real quick because he has been so good.
Speaker 1: It's a way we have updates on him and Montoss
Speaker 1: later in the show, but he's still weeks away nowhere clothes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you just look at like Canning two four
Speaker 2: seven era, even if he regresses down the regression A
Speaker 2: three seven five expected era is pretty ain't good. Strikeouts
Speaker 2: are up from last year, walks are kind of stable ish,
Speaker 2: like this just looks like a lower even at worst,
Speaker 2: like a lower tier like fantasy pitcher. So bird Song
Speaker 2: maybe has a little bit more strikeout upside. But I
Speaker 2: think Griffin Canning is way safer. He's also performing at
Speaker 2: this level, So yeah, I think I would go Canning,
Speaker 2: but my boy Jack Boyce asking Canning has Dodgers next.
Speaker 2: I don't think I would want to start him against
Speaker 2: the Dodds.
Speaker 1: Fair but I don't think I want to drop him
Speaker 1: for bird Song either. What has a question? This is
Speaker 1: a good one, Boom Shaw or Bias the rest of season.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my money on Matt Shaw. I'm put
Speaker 1: my money on the kid. I've seen enough Alec Bohm
Speaker 1: in my life and I don't like it. I don't
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Javier Bias, I don't trust. Matt Shaw does
Speaker 1: not have a baseline for me, and I think that's
Speaker 1: what makes him most intriguing, because I don't like the
Speaker 1: baseline of the other two guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's Shaw. Sorry, favorite basis very stupid. I don't,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm you know, from the Red Hot shows Peppers.
Speaker 2: I don't know what anybody played outside. And I was
Speaker 2: a music guy. I used to work in recording studios
Speaker 2: and I my one of my big fame thing was
Speaker 2: hanging out with Slash. But I don't know what anybody plays.
Speaker 2: It's really bad, It's really bad. I would go with
Speaker 2: Shaw there. So you asked me that, like, what is crap?
Speaker 2: What's the Morello stuff? Oh you've been Rage against the Machine?
Speaker 2: Yeah Rage?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well but he's a guitarist, right, not a basic
Speaker 2: guitarist correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: See, I'm not good to that stuff.
Speaker 1: That's okay. That's why I'm here. So you you worked
Speaker 1: with Rage against the Machine? Is that what happened here?
Speaker 2: No? I hung out with Slash. I used to work
Speaker 2: at a recording studio in La and I worked with
Speaker 2: an engineer who worked and showed us all the tricks
Speaker 2: of how Rage did recording. That some cool stuff out there.
Speaker 2: I hung out with Slash. I got Slash what a
Speaker 2: burger or not?
Speaker 1: What a burger? In and out?
Speaker 2: That was how important I was at the studio.
Speaker 1: It was very funny though, like I to do some
Speaker 1: cool stuff in my day, Clank. It was very like
Speaker 1: telling stories to my kids.
Speaker 2: I got some stories about the ones. I I'm done
Speaker 2: with those stories.
Speaker 1: I got nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing interesting at all. Lieutenant,
Speaker 1: don be just subbed with Prime. Thanks lieutenant. Remember if
Speaker 1: you suffed with Prime, you get access to the home
Speaker 1: run channel and you also get rid of those annoying
Speaker 1: commercials when you're watching live on Twitch. So do that.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Cherio too, He's in the notes.
Speaker 1: What do you do with Cheerio, Jerry? We're gonna get
Speaker 1: the cheerio in this next section. We like to call
Speaker 1: three up and three down. Yamamoto seven showed out innings.
Speaker 1: He was flirted with a no no for a little
Speaker 1: while there. Nine strikeouts, thank God for him, and got
Speaker 1: no decision against the Diamondbacks, but eventually they did get
Speaker 1: the win. Say Suzuki had a big night order the
Speaker 1: Cubs offense. Ooh we we were right to be on
Speaker 1: that one yesterday. Say yes, Azuki three for five with
Speaker 1: a homer, a double, four ribbies for him and a walk.
Speaker 1: I beat the Marlins fourteen oh one. H Marlin stink
Speaker 1: and Will Warren. I was just saying nice things about
Speaker 1: just yesterday. Another great performance. Ten strikeouts, a career high
Speaker 1: in just five and two thirds innings against the Rangers,
Speaker 1: the down Spencer Strider boo four runs, four and a
Speaker 1: third fun that though, Welsh, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this. Six career games against the Nats A five
Speaker 1: to eight e ra A. Why do the Nationals of
Speaker 1: all teams own Spencer Streyder? Can you explain that to me? No?
Speaker 2: That it's my favorite thing on the planet. I love
Speaker 2: obscure things where like a singular player either dominates or
Speaker 2: struggles against, you know how, what was it Isn't Aaron
Speaker 2: judge against like the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: Like against the Orioles is the greatest?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it is, like Hall of Fame career
Speaker 2: if he just played the Orioles. And but I think
Speaker 2: I love even more players that get just dominated by
Speaker 2: a specific team for no really apparent reason, like.
Speaker 1: Joe McEwing who used to own Randy Johnson. Like Joe
Speaker 1: mcewing's lifetime buying average against Raany Johnson was like five hundred,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't a small sample size, it was like
Speaker 1: an enormous ample size. And he was like, I can't
Speaker 1: get Joe mcewey. I love you, but that, But Spencer
Speaker 1: Streyder is dominant and the Nats in Striders you know run,
Speaker 1: which is relatively new. They haven't been a very good team.
Speaker 1: They haven't been very good.
Speaker 2: Life Why well, okay, but I think this might have
Speaker 2: been more also about because I'm pulling this up, This
Speaker 2: might have been just more about like where Streider was
Speaker 2: at because his pointed out in the chat. You know,
Speaker 2: Strider's velo was down. So let me pull this up here.
Speaker 2: I mean to make a lot of contact. They're not
Speaker 2: like a big strikeout team. I think that's what helps.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's going off of whiffs Strider year over
Speaker 2: a year, and I'm looking at it. Zilo really wasn't
Speaker 2: crazy down. It was like a little bit less than
Speaker 2: half a mile per hour. So there's not the nuts.
Speaker 1: But his max.
Speaker 2: It looks like his max wasn't hitting. I mean, his
Speaker 2: max was ninety seven. We know Strider can pump.
Speaker 1: It up to three weeks, and he didn't do a
Speaker 1: rehab assignment, so his.
Speaker 2: And his fast anyone. Well, and I think there's fastball
Speaker 2: right there, like he's not hitting those max velos. He
Speaker 2: only had an eighteen percent whiff rate on the fastball.
Speaker 2: The rest of the pitches looked okay, but you can't
Speaker 2: when you're a fastball slider guy. You can't set up
Speaker 2: the slider if you're not just banging the fastball ninety
Speaker 2: eight ninety nine pass. So it's like on average, he
Speaker 2: was there, but he wasn't touching on the high stuff.
Speaker 2: So I don't know something to watch. But yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a high contact team. It's just I don't know. He
Speaker 2: just don't.
Speaker 1: I feel you ever worked in the adult film industry,
Speaker 1: that would be your name, Max Vilo. That would be
Speaker 1: a good via adult film name for you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Great, there's another segments. Are we gonna do it? Thirty
Speaker 2: thousand subs?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dress up like Max Vilo that day. Hello, Oh,
Speaker 1: Jackson Curio twenty one years old, hitting just the bucks
Speaker 1: seventy one twelve for his last seventy one homer sixt deals.
Speaker 1: It's not been good. The month of May has not
Speaker 1: been kind to Jackson Turio. And on top of it,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw last night in that game,
Speaker 1: he hit the wall hard going for a catch. Is
Speaker 1: that word part of the wall where it kind of
Speaker 1: jets out and he just went like headlong into it.
Speaker 1: He's stayed in the game, but it did not look good.
Speaker 1: I was a little worried about him for a second there.
Speaker 1: He hit that wall hard and he's at all. It's
Speaker 1: a metaphoric and a literal wall that he's hit in
Speaker 1: the month of May. So what do you do with Yourio?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking here too. It's a really weird thing.
Speaker 2: So like, and he's not striking out a bunch more.
Speaker 2: He hasn't been walking all year. It was very like
Speaker 2: early last season, like what Corbyn Carrol was doing too.
Speaker 2: Barreling's about the same. The one thing that immediately stands
Speaker 2: out is you see that on average he's hitting the
Speaker 2: ball three miles an hour less than usual. And what
Speaker 2: is happening though, is that's coming from mainly anything breaking,
Speaker 2: not fastballs. And then when because because here's another weird thing.
Speaker 2: He's got eighty five percent contact, Yeah, thank you Jack? Now, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's got it eighty five percent. Zone contact rate is
Speaker 2: three percent higher than last year. So he's making more contact,
Speaker 2: but he's hitting it less heart by about three miles power.
Speaker 2: So where is that coming from. It's coming from sliders
Speaker 2: and secondary pitches. He's hitting only two thirty five against sliders.
Speaker 2: Last year he hit three nineteen boom. That's right there.
Speaker 2: Max vilos are way low against anything non fast ball
Speaker 2: as well, so run values are down and that has
Speaker 2: created him being an absolutely horrendous fastball hitter. He had
Speaker 2: an it was a positive forcing fastball run value last year.
Speaker 2: It's negative four. So he's hitting sliders with poor contact
Speaker 2: and he's not hitting fastballs at the same rate, only
Speaker 2: two fourteen. I think it's all changeable. I think it's
Speaker 2: all fixable. Contact zone contact rates are higher. He just
Speaker 2: needs to start getting a little bit better quality of contact.
Speaker 2: And they have this new metric on savant which is
Speaker 2: a tack point which I want to take a look at,
Speaker 2: and it's really it's really interesting.
Speaker 1: Possibly add another statistic.
Speaker 2: But it's actually really good if you start correlating it
Speaker 2: to a few other pieces, and it's about at the
Speaker 2: point of where the bat from a degree angle is
Speaker 2: getting to the ball. And there's some science in it
Speaker 2: of like what is elite and I would love to
Speaker 2: see year over year data. So all of this is
Speaker 2: to say, like, I think there's some clear cut issues.
Speaker 2: I think he's a by right now. I'm going to
Speaker 2: buy in for a guy that is not striking up more,
Speaker 2: making more contact in the zone. It's just got to
Speaker 2: be a little bit better quality. And I think we've
Speaker 2: seen that before. So yeah, I rambled on while you
Speaker 2: were giggling.
Speaker 1: I was giggling only because you said max VLO And
Speaker 1: now I know every time you say that, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think about.
Speaker 2: So I'm max VLO and your ex plug xxx plug.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't want to go that far. Uh,
Speaker 1: but the maximum head looks like an X plug, So
Speaker 1: oh does it now? Oh? Does it now? I like
Speaker 1: Jackson Curial the player. I think that whenever you have
Speaker 1: a player of that age too, you'really gonna have these
Speaker 1: peaks and valleys. You know, last year at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the year was rough for Churio. His second half
Speaker 1: was really solid. I think everybody just was gonna look
Speaker 1: forward to say, Okay, we're just gonna you know, we're
Speaker 1: the second half, that's all that matters, and it's not.
Speaker 1: You know, there's more adjustments. The lead's gonna keep making
Speaker 1: adjustments to you and you got to keep adjusting back.
Speaker 1: I wish he had a little bit more help. I
Speaker 1: think one of the things is, you know, having Willia
Speaker 1: doomas be as good as he was last year, and
Speaker 1: Contreras in that lineup last year it really helped Cheerio
Speaker 1: Hoskins has been okay, Contreras has picked things up. But
Speaker 1: you know, I think Willie Adamas being out of that
Speaker 1: lineup is not quite the same same And I think
Speaker 1: he got to protect the kids, can.
Speaker 2: Protect the children and he and it's just you know,
Speaker 2: the secondary stuff like this is not an uncommon thing.
Speaker 1: That's the thing is you wanted to see more strikes, right,
Speaker 1: you wanted to see more fastballs. That's what you wanted
Speaker 1: to see because that's going to put him in a
Speaker 1: better spot to succeed. And the when we do that
Speaker 1: is with better lineup protection. And that's just basic stuff.
Speaker 1: And I think the line of protection is mid right
Speaker 1: now for him. It's mid. Tanner Scott was the last
Speaker 1: down three runs to earn the blown save against the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1: That's third blown save. Or we're starting to get worried
Speaker 1: about Tanner Scott at all.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess because they have options. For a
Speaker 2: minute that I thought you were gonna say the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1: How many options they have? Well, that's that's a different story.
Speaker 1: Is different.
Speaker 2: I'm immediately he's about to start, you know, going on
Speaker 2: a tangent about Shelby Miller and all the and Tory Leavello.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I mean, they got Kirby Gates
Speaker 2: out there, They've got they've got some options in the
Speaker 2: bullpend that they could go to. But I think Tanner
Speaker 2: Scott's still the guy. I mean, they still pulled out
Speaker 2: the win. That's one of those things that like Nic Gates,
Speaker 2: those blown saves for a lot of these teams where
Speaker 2: they're like, we got out of it and it's not
Speaker 2: like you're going to start losing your gig. So I
Speaker 2: think Tanner Scott's okay for right now.
Speaker 1: I think Michael nailed it. It's Max Vilo and Bruno.

Speaker 1: we're recorded saying nice things about Ronealo Blanco and is
Speaker 1: expected Era being a run lower and he kind of
Speaker 1: snuck up on me and now he is a hurt
Speaker 1: elbow soreness. Back to Houston. Boo. Terrible news for Houston
Speaker 1: that rotation. Excuse me, They've had so many injuries just crazy.
Speaker 1: Jacob Wilson was removed Tuesday. He has a forearm contusion.
Speaker 1: Uri Perez I was gonna make his next minor league
Speaker 1: rehab start at Triple A. Well she I love this news.
Speaker 1: We're moving up the Triple A already.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, you know what's weird is the
Speaker 2: narrative keeps being like Euriy Perez would be back in June,
Speaker 2: and you're and you're like, well, well he should be
Speaker 2: back soon. That's like nine days, that's a week and
Speaker 2: a half away. So I think he is minimum two
Speaker 2: starts in Triple A, maybe three. But just another reiteration.
Speaker 2: If ury Prez is sitting out there, go and pick
Speaker 2: him up, because.
Speaker 1: He is going to be out right now in CBS,
Speaker 1: he's what forty percent of leagues, he's available in CBS.
Speaker 2: I go go pick him up. He's going to be
Speaker 2: back in about two weeks. It's the prime, prime time
Speaker 2: and worst case scenario. Let him get a couple of
Speaker 2: good starts in and you can move him if you don't.
Speaker 2: If you're not, like, hey, I don't want to be
Speaker 2: invested in like a Marlins pitcher and stuff, move on
Speaker 2: from him, but go pick up Uri Perez. It's a
Speaker 2: It's like having above a Chandler who will never come
Speaker 2: up never ever.
Speaker 1: You know that'll be it's almost anti climactic. When he
Speaker 1: does come up, could be like, oh great, yeah, Bubba Chandler. Awesome.
Speaker 2: I think there's a tv D for Thursday, but I
Speaker 2: don't know if they already made a move.
Speaker 1: Can get him all June, I told you, I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't care about talk about passive aggressive Tyler Glass.
Speaker 1: Now through a bullpen session and Otani remains without a
Speaker 1: date to begin facing hitters. So he's still just doing
Speaker 1: side stuff. So hot take, hot take. Maybe Otani doesn't
Speaker 1: pitch it all this year in a game. Maybe he
Speaker 1: just continues to rehab.
Speaker 2: You count the playoffs as he doesn't pitch at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm saying all year. I'm saying I think I
Speaker 1: think they give him a clean start to ramp up,
Speaker 1: and he continues all this throwing and all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and then next year he's in the rotation. I think,
Speaker 1: I think from the jump, I think that's how you
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: I don't think you give me the playoffs. I'll take
Speaker 2: that bet because I think he pitches in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Fair fair enough, Uh, Jazz Chisholm is gonna resume hitting
Speaker 1: off a high velocity pitching machine, not a low velocity one,
Speaker 1: high velocity one. Why they had to specify that, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Like why Mike Trout said he won't require
Speaker 1: a minor league rehab assignment before being activated. I think
Speaker 1: that's a terrible idea, Welsh, What do you think? I mean?
Speaker 2: I'd like him to come out here and hang out
Speaker 2: so we could become best friends and he can join
Speaker 2: the best friends board. But I guess I see what
Speaker 2: you're saying. He's been with the big league ball club
Speaker 2: this whole time season, veteran. Maybe you should take like
Speaker 2: two games. But I think there's also a tiny bit
Speaker 2: like we cry and complain about, like, you know, don't
Speaker 2: waste the bullets down. You get these guys, Brandon Woodruff
Speaker 2: has been down it seems like for three years, and
Speaker 2: it's like, stop it. In the same token, we don't
Speaker 2: want them to waste anything in the minor leagues. They
Speaker 2: might also feel a little bit of that, like, hey,
Speaker 2: there's only so many games we have on Mike Trout
Speaker 2: for the season. Don't waste any of it in the
Speaker 2: minor leagues. Let him readjust it the major So I
Speaker 2: guess I kind of get it. I'm a little bit
Speaker 2: indifferent about my feelings on it because I could see
Speaker 2: them doing two or three. But also, you know, one
Speaker 2: wrong tweak of the back and it's done. Don't do
Speaker 2: it at the minor league level, because you'll even get
Speaker 2: criticized to a whole another degree.
Speaker 1: Also, you Hadmaya was going to throw an up and
Speaker 1: down bullpen session. So you get up, you throw, you
Speaker 1: sit down, you get up, you throw. Frankie Montoss is
Speaker 1: going to face hitters on Wednesday in a live VP
Speaker 1: session in High A and Max Scherzer remember him, Remember
Speaker 1: mac Scherzer. He threw a whole thirty three pitches on Tuesday,

Speaker 1: So whatever challenges you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the
Speaker 1: expertise to say, bring it on. And today we're gonna
Speaker 1: bring on Max Scherzer because I want to talk about
Speaker 1: how this guy's been stealing money for the last couple
Speaker 1: of years and basically riding into the sunset in his
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career just swindling teams. He's been stealing
Speaker 1: money from the Mets and still the Nationals, who are
Speaker 1: still paying him the last couple of years, and the
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers. In twenty twenty three, he stole about fifty
Speaker 1: million dollars combined from those two teams. Last year, twelve
Speaker 1: million from Texas, thirty million from the Mets, and another
Speaker 1: fifteen still from the Nationals, so pretty penny for him.
Speaker 1: And this year in twenty twenty five, so far he's
Speaker 1: stolen fifteen million dollars and how many pitches as he
Speaker 1: thrown at the major league level? Not enough? How's that
Speaker 1: for the answer? So we'll see when mac Shurzer rolls around.
Speaker 1: But why don't you just call it a career? How
Speaker 1: has this guy continue to just pull the wool over
Speaker 1: the eyes of organizations that he's got anything left in
Speaker 1: this body? Because he doesn't. He's a great pitcher, he's
Speaker 1: one of the best competitors ever, but he's done. Stop
Speaker 1: wasting fifteen million dollars every year on Max Surezer. And that,
Speaker 1: my friends, is today's Chasing Challenges segment. So hopefully you'll
Speaker 1: avoid the challenges of rostering Max sures or remember Microsoft's

Speaker 1: and a half starts from Extures with this year.
Speaker 2: Oh I will say o no, yes over over. But
Speaker 2: he will also be starring in Mama Mia two, so
Speaker 2: they can do the money money. Money ain't as funny.
Speaker 2: It's a pictures World. Yeah, that was Mama Mia.
Speaker 1: I said, I just watched it. I believe you.
Speaker 2: Oh I I just watched it on Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: My daughter, my oldest daughter, just watched it on the
Speaker 1: plane ride back from Arizona actually ironically from hanging.
Speaker 2: Out with you, and it's a pictures world.
Speaker 1: See you got Max Vlo, you got Mama Mia today.
Speaker 1: What board do you need from a program? Cheers, cheers, references,
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. All right, you know what I
Speaker 1: thought of something you could use. It's the best Bets
Speaker 1: of the day with Joey p and the Welsh. Let's
Speaker 1: start the best bets off today with a banger. Let's
Speaker 1: start with San Francisco. The run line minus one and
Speaker 1: a half. Let's go plus one twelve on that with
Speaker 1: mister Webb on the mound. That's right. Web has been
Speaker 1: terrific and Logan Webb getting the strikeouts, getting everything you need.
Speaker 1: He's at home. He's been fantastic, he's been dominant, and
Speaker 1: the Kansas City offense has been rough all year. One
Speaker 1: of the lowest ops is as a team. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead, and I'm gonna think the Giants win
Speaker 1: this one comfortably. He had Walker working a clean night
Speaker 1: the other day too, so all things are solid trying
Speaker 1: to fall in line basically for the Giants. So give
Speaker 1: me the San Francisco Giants tonight minus one and a
Speaker 1: half on that run line plus one twelve with Logan
Speaker 1: Webb on the mound, Hunter Brown eight plus strikeouts, alternate
Speaker 1: line at plus one forty. I don't like the seven
Speaker 1: that they gave me, so I'm gonna move it to
Speaker 1: eight and take the plus money instead. He's been known
Speaker 1: to throw some nine burgers up there, and they need
Speaker 1: a Hunter Brown start in the worst way, starting with
Speaker 1: the Ronow Blanco news of his injury. So thank god
Speaker 1: for Hunter Brown and franber Valdez. Otherwise the Astros would
Speaker 1: have no pitching. I guess Spencer Araghety's gonna come back
Speaker 1: in a couple months, but we'll see. And then I'm intrigued.
Speaker 1: This is the first investment all year I'm willing to
Speaker 1: make on Jacob de Gram. The total of six and
Speaker 1: a half on the strikeouts he's in New York. I
Speaker 1: know it's against the Yankees, not the Mets, but still
Speaker 1: over six and a half minus one twenty two on
Speaker 1: the strikeouts. I like this one, Welsh. I think the
Speaker 1: juices are flowing. I think there's a lot of strikeouts
Speaker 1: in that Yankee lineup. Dea Gram coming off his best
Speaker 1: start I think of the year. So give me Jacob
Speaker 1: de Grom against the Yankees, Welsh, what do you have
Speaker 1: for the people today?
Speaker 2: I'm with you a little bit better odds. I've found
Speaker 2: Jacob de Gram six and a half strikeouts over against
Speaker 2: the Yankees. I'm backing two pitchers going against two powerhouse teams.
Speaker 2: But these are also two guys that have really found
Speaker 2: rhythm over the last well with Corbyn Burns. It's a
Speaker 2: couple starts Jacob de Grom, it looks like it's been
Speaker 2: over four or five, but de Gram over six and
Speaker 2: a half. Burns is down at five and a half.
Speaker 2: It's a little dicey because his last start he struck
Speaker 2: out ten awesome facing the Dodgers, where he had a
Speaker 2: great start, he struck out only five. Dodgers are about
Speaker 2: mid pack of the of all teams in strikeouts, but
Speaker 2: this is one of those that over the last two starts,
Speaker 2: Burns seems to have regained. He regained some of that
Speaker 2: velocity of that success. Five and a half is a
Speaker 2: perfect number, but they're giving you such big odds. That's
Speaker 2: why I want to play. It's plus one forty, so
Speaker 2: one forty on it. I'm really willing to take that risk.
Speaker 2: So five and a half strikeouts over plus one forty
Speaker 2: the other one. We have a little j situation. If
Speaker 2: you could find Atlanta on the first five money line
Speaker 2: at plus that'd be awesome. But most places the money
Speaker 2: line through the first five innings is around minus one fifty.
Speaker 2: So this is supposed to be Atlanta run line through
Speaker 2: the first five, which means they're up by one run.
Speaker 2: That's plus money or even money essentially. So I am
Speaker 2: betting Atlanta will be up by one run through the
Speaker 2: first five innings at plus one hundred. But hey, if
Speaker 2: you can find the money line, do it. Maybe those
Speaker 2: are my bets.

Speaker 1: at the home run board. See what's changed. They couldn't
Speaker 1: get a home run and Rice Harper hit everything yesterday
Speaker 1: except a home run. Walkee's at eighteen. Look at Marty
Speaker 1: at twenty one. Ooh ooh, we it's good. The Welsh
Speaker 1: is at fifteen. Marty's at the top of this board.
Speaker 1: The Sosa jersey from Pristine Auction on the line, and
Speaker 1: of course you can go to our discord fancypros dot
Speaker 1: com slash chat Welsh. Where are you going for your
Speaker 1: home run call today?
Speaker 2: I'm barely hanging on that board. I also like that
Speaker 2: we traded in the V for an A for somebody
Speaker 2: this week. So someone has a fifteen A, which maybe
Speaker 2: is a little bit better then the other fifteens. But
Speaker 2: I'm barely hanging on the board. I haven't gotten a
Speaker 2: freaking homer, I feel like in ten days. I don't
Speaker 2: know how long it's been. So I got to get
Speaker 2: up there, and I'm gonna go with my boys happening
Speaker 2: here very soon. Gunner Henderson. Gunnerson Henderson has also been
Speaker 2: just trying to get going. He's got one homer or
Speaker 2: I think in his last five or six games. But
Speaker 2: he is the number one on plus money for this game,
Speaker 2: and he's got some huge splits. It's righty versus lefties. Man,
Speaker 2: he's hitting one seventy against lefties but over three hundred
Speaker 2: against righty's. So I'm gonna go with Gunner Henderson today
Speaker 2: as my home run call plus three fifty on Fandel
Speaker 2: if you want to bet it, yep, I'm.
Speaker 1: Gonna go with Jake Berger in any bitty Yankees stadium.
Speaker 1: By the way, that that home run that Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: hy yesterday, what a freaking joke. I mean, wall Scraper
Speaker 1: and Ryfield, that would not be a home er. I
Speaker 1: don't think an he got a couple of those this year.
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of them every year and that's
Speaker 1: why everyone's, you know, stroking the Aaron Judge all the time.
Speaker 1: And he's terrific, he's amazing. But he does play in
Speaker 1: the most ridiculous ballpark. I'm sorry it does. He's Oh,
Speaker 1: Josie old Joseph. You know, he's Joseph Aaron Judge. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I just how many the Yankees stadium is
