I 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:44.040 was trying to get in there. 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:48.680 Go ahead, six innings, four hits, two earned run, seven 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.920 strikeouts with one walk against the Dodgers. And let's be reminded, 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.840 let's be reminded from Carlos's comment. But if you want 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.600 to lose points, listen to the Welsh and go ahead 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.680 and pick up Brandon Fought. Well, who's dancing now, babe? 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:05.440 Look at that bad boy? 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.519 Well, in all fairness, I supported you. I was team fun. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.640 I said, yes, I'm absolutely starting him against the Dodgers. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.880 He's earned that he's got my respect. He's a good 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.560 enough starting pitcher to go out there against anybody I'm 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.480 leaving in my He's earned the leaving him in my lineup, 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.359 unless he's on a bad streak two starts in a row. 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.440 But you know, it's funny. I still I don't know 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.840 if he's here, but he's not active in the chat yet. 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.080 And that's okay because we own our l's here on 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.160 the show, and we also own the successes. That's the 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.079 fun of Fantasy Baseball, so must be fun. And that's 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.399 what we're trying to bring here is the fun. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.800 But the trolls. I'm not gonna stand for the trolling, 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.920 especially the nonsense trolling. But here's the good news. Carlos 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.280 and I had a little heart to heart earlier. Carlos 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.959 came to me and actually we filmed. I had a 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.720 camera going and Carlos wanted to speak to me. And 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.359 this with Carlos, Oh, oh you have I'm stupid, You're smart. 0:02:59.040 --> 0:02:59.720 I was wrong. 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:05.160 You right, you're the best, I'm the worst. You're very 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.440 good looking. I'm not attractive, all right, as long as 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:10.800 you're willing to admit that. Now. 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.679 Now, last part was very important that last part was 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.240 very important. But so we had a heart to heart 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:16.000 and everything's okay. 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.800 That's nice. You look very tan at that clip. I 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.520 just want to say, you just point that out there. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.880 What's wrong with your hand too? Something happened to your hands? 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:23.600 An alligator? 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.320 Thisa is that what happened? 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:25.840 All right? 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.119 Very good, but yeah, look, it was a good start 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:29.960 for Brandon Fath, a good star for the show. Also, 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.560 I just want to shout out the Peanuts and the Crackerjacks, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.680 because we got some stats yesterday of our own on 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:41.440 the show.

I'm happy for 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.760 you that your name was chosen there. So good on you, Michael. 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.160 Let's get to some baseball. Enough trash talking, uh, and 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.159 I'm glad Carlos at least came to you. So Brandon 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.120 Fought was the lead headline today, But I want to 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.159 talk about Ranger Swarrez, the train that never stops. Now. 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.960 I gotta to admit I was watching a game last 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.520 year where Ranger Swarz was pitching against the Mets, and 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.360 I remember, you know, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez are 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.000 elite level with Gary Combe. Like their trio of announcers 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.719 is so good. We're so blessed, thank God, because Mets 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.040 baseball so frustrating to watch. At least listening to it 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.400 is palpable and palatable. But the Ranger swarre is start. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.159 I remember them talking about the things that he was doing. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:00.599 He's saying, you know, I really like what he's doing. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.360 This guy's really close to being special. And you know what, 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.599 they were right. He is now nine to oh with 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.880 a one three six ERA, five hits, seven innings, one run, 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:13.200 struck out, ten walk just two ranger Suarez is an 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.240 elite ranger. Is that a hot take? Or is he 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:16.600 in that? 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:16.760 Like? 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.320 Where do you have him rest of season? I just 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.159 know you redid your rankings on fantasypros dot com. Where 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.320 is he? Because I know the one three six ra 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.080 is not gonna hold. But holy crap, man, if he's 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.080 not in the top fifteen, I think we're doing it wrong. 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.479 I don't have well, I don't have him in the 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.680 top fifteen. He definitely belongs in that territory. So some 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.080 numbers on him one three seven ERA two point three 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.680 to one expected dra mah really low hard hit numbers, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.200 bottom six percentile of the league. Muh high k percentage, 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.320 highest of his career, lowest walk percentage of his career. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.520 And we saw a big pitch change, mix change. And 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.000 actually what's really weird about it too, is he went 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.440 even a higher sinker percentage, which that usually is not 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.159 like a strikeout pitch. You went from twenty eight to 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.760 thirty three percent of the time thrown this year while 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:08.719 throwing it with less velocity, but then it was more curveball, 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.200 it being really actually like a lowered four seam number, 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.880 and the curveball has put up monster numbers. He's had 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.120 really great command, He's been super super consistent. He's been 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.240 one of the better pitchers in the league this year. 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.000 I'd say he falls into that top twenty five area. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.640 But let me ask you this. Then, if you're saying 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.080 we're doing it wrong, if Ranger is a top fifteen guy, 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:30.440 you know what I'm gonna ask. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.080 If he's not a top fifteen guy, Ranger schemes, then Ranger, 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.760 I'm gonna have him in August and September, both kids. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.960 Is not pitching in September. First, Folks like, I'm sorry, 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.520 Like he just not. I know that the pitcher Pirates 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.400 are fun and they're in they're you know, it's fun 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.760 to see fun things happen. And Jones has been great 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.960 and Mitch Keller's pitch better this year. But two things 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.800 have to happen. Number One, the Pirates have to be 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.960 consistently good throughout and keep pace with the Cubs, keep 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.400 pace with the Reds even and some other teams in 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.280 that division. Right, and maybe the Cardinals have a little 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.480 bounce back in them. They got a lot of veterans 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.160 on this team. They're starting to I mean, I know 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.800 they're a little run here. We mentioned that I saw 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.920 people talking about the chat. But I gotta tell you, like, 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.760 I'm looking at the stats right now, you know, for 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.200 the pitching on MLB, I'm just kind of going through. Ranger. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.240 Suarez is second in ERA right now, only behind Shota 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.400 Shota Iman is in terms of struckout walk grade. He's 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.200 right around there. In terms of whip two just for 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.520 the qualifiers, he's behind only Tarik Skuble, who has a 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.280 point seven to eight whip. He's a point seven to 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.920 nine whip batting average against him, just looking for him, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.880 he is number two. So he's number two in era, 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.240 batting average against and whip right now. Wesh. I'm sorry, 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.960 Like he demands that making I think rest of season 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:46.000 four now, you could change it June thirtieth, but right now, 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.200 I think he's got to be up there. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.360 Yeah, And I'm looking to at his like the overall 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.520 heat map, like pretty blatantly. There's one thing. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.520 Oh, Joey won't be here in September either. I can't 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.680 help it. I have bosses and they tell me to 0:08:58.720 --> 0:08:59.959 do things, so I have to do it. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.640 That almost might we might have to hit up the 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.920 bosses to get a little store gift card for that comment. 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.160 That's comment of the year too. 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:05.760 That's Joe. 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.280 That's you know how we talked yesterday about like the 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.640 over unders and and localized fantasy pros bets. Who's here 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:18.560 September first, Paul Skeins or Joe Pisap, Who's gone first? 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.119 Who's gone first? From MLB? I love that. 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.040 That's that's a really good one. Put that up in 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:24.360 the poll. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.920 Alright, yeah, you know what if or yeah, if one 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.959 of you guys, if Wonky or mayor is here, put 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.320 it up because I don't have the YouTube up. 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.720 Well, whoever is fantasy Rose MLB right here? Yeah, but 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.440 buzis a definitely came in from the top rope there. 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.080 That's a good The only thing I wanted to add 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:43.080 with Ranger, there's kind of an obviousness really well located 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:47.360 fastballs can make secondaries better. Secondaries can make fast you know. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.480 So it's like it's the primary setup pitch. So he 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.280 sets up using the sinker for seam to make the 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.160 curveball change up more effective pitches. And that's happened in 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.920 droves this year. I mean his change up with percentage. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.800 I think the fifth percentage is the highest of any 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.560 pitch on the change up. It went last year from 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.000 thirty one percent to forty percent. But looking at the 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.800 heat map of how he's throwing, he's got that change 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.760 up hitting way more of the zone. The fastball has 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.960 moved down a little bit in the zone, and the 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.920 sinker is just hitting the corners. So I mean, commanding 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.560 that fastball has made those secondaries so much better. You 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.120 look at the profile and you go, all right, well, 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:24.920 what's the thing that's going to fall apart? And is 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:29.000 just gonna be consistency? Because you know you're if they're 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.000 already not squaring up those fastballs great and the secondaries 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.080 are working great. The only thing that's gonna fall apart 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.360 is him being inconsistent, and nothing is telling us that 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.760 right now. So you know what, you might not be wrong. 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.920 I don't know if it's top fifteen, but I definitely 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.559 think top twenty five is in the realm of possibility 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:44.040 for Ranger. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.600 Great question from JJ in the chat. So what you're saying, 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.520 Joe is if you have Skiens, should trade him? Now? 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.320 Should I trade him for Suarez? Ah? I think, yes, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.040 I'll be honest with you. Even though I know Suarez 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:59.240 is going to regress that the Skeins injury quotient is 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.360 extremely high at the velocity pitches. We have to take 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.760 that into account. Now, again, this is redraft only. Obviously, 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.679 this is not a keeper league, a dynasty scenario. If 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.280 I'm playing straight redraft, especially head to head formats where 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.959 there's playoffs, I want Suarez because Suarez was a place 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.040 for the Phillies, and the Phillies are gonna be competitive 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.720 in August and September. They are a playoff team. They're 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.640 locked in in my opinion, there might pick to go 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.600 to the World Series this year and actually win the 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.040 World Series this year. So I'm in your thoughts here 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.760 on this trade. He looks like from your face here 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.800 or not loving it as much as I. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:32.240 I'm not, like I said all that stuff about Ranger Swarz. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.840 But then I'm like, all right, there's always been like 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.400 a relatively low strikeout guy. His walks have been a 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.400 lot higher. Like there is probably going to be some 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.160 regression that's going to play in. But here's the deal. 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.360 I mean, it's a look, let's say it's like a 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.160 high two era guy and the strike ups come down 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.840 a little bit. I think his limit like you think 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.040 top fifteen. I think his his ceiling is like in 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:57.960 the top twenty twenty five schemes. His ceiling is top ten. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.559 The only thing that is literally holding us back at 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.640 this moment is like if he only pitches one hundred 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.120 and fifty innings, which does seem more likely. I just 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:06.200 feel like from a week in and. 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.080 Week out in here for Ranger, well ten, like that's 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.000 a third of the year. 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.120 Yeah, but we also have a career, we have a 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.800 career behind us that's been like fine, you know, I 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:16.320 mean last year what he had four to one eight 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.480 ERA three six five, the year before that. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.160 Twenty eight. It's not like he's thirty three and all 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.120 of a sudden doing this out of nowhere. It's twenty eight. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.480 This is like a natural progression of a guy who's 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.760 figuring it out. And also, let let's not forget historically speaking, 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.439 the lefties tend to figure it out a little later 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:32.160 than other people. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.400 Okay, then here'd be the other thing. I'd say he's 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.720 never pitched over one hundred and fifty five innings in 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.400 his career. Ranger ser Steens no, no, agree, agreed, So 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:47.079 would one hundred and eighty innings of Ranger Suarez a 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.120 little bit of this better version be better than one 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.320 hundred and fifty of Paul Skins. I would think Paul 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.679 Skins from a counting stats strikeout perspective, that boosts you 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.720 up so much more. But Ranger may have a better 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.440 chance it wins, and if that holds, he's gonna win that. 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.920 I'm just saying, like, if there's a thirty any gap, 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.200 I don't know that Ranger is hands down better. That's 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.400 not what I'm trading schemes for. I'm trading schemes for 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.200 dumb stuff for stupid people that want to make stupid 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.480 ass moves. Those are the ones I want to target 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:16.160 real am in. 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.400 I think it's a stupid ass move to get swas. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.160 I think it's pretty stupid and amazing. I'm gonna say 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.240 this too if you're in and again, this is very 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:28.200 like Gamesmanshippy, but Skens is gonna have difficulties with wins 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.040 because of pitch counts, you know, getting through fifth inning 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.360 stuff like that. If you are in rodo formats or 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.040 head to head roto, whether it be quality starts end 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.199 or wins. Suarez is the better guy. Now if head 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.520 to head points you want to take the twelve k 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.360 upside on a daily basis of skins. I get that, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.720 because that's you're lock it in twenty four points right 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.640 there in a two points strike that league. And I 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:53.480 get that, but gotta remember the downside. All right, let's moviecuestion. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.960 This is the best ranger Swarrez conversation. It's gonna happen 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.360 all day anywhere else, but only. 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.400 One best ranger Suarez or this guy Brandon fought with 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:04.920 me behind him, and no. 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.920 I'll take I'll take Welsh McGregor over all them. 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:08.760 It's pretty good. 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:09.960 Look at les tattoos that. 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:11.640 Must I know I've been working out. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.240 You look great. I gotta say it doesn't look photoshopped 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.760 at all. Can we tweet that out too? We gotta 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.040 get that up on that. Ask Tyler to put that 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.600 in an Instagram story. That's an Instagram story if ever 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.160 there was one, like come. 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.360 On, I'm very pro me on that body for sure. 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.960 I I bet your wife is too. I bet you 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.160 prefer that. I don't give a facial air what you 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.080 could grow whatever beerd you. 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.080 Want if you can have facial hair. If I was 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:40.720 looking like that, yeah, for sure probably. 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.040 But anyway, a bunch of people at two on runs 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.040 last night, Welsh was not one of them. Kyle Tucker, 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.800 Bobby Witt and Ezekiel Tovar two solo dingers for him. 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.880 All right, let's do some fun stuff. He was in 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.280 the trade video last week. New trade videos already in 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.640 the can is gonna get released pretty soon here a 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:01.120 little earlier than usual. Mike two run score continues to 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.000 hit at the top of that order. I just picked 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.560 him up in my hole league because it's a fifteen 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.960 teen league. But he's still available somehow, floating around there, 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.440 and I need outfeel help because why Nolan Jones at 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.720 a setback? Ugh, so I thought he'd be back. And 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.920 Luis Matos, who was in the Social Waiver War video, 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.160 he's rostered in fifty percent of leagues. He was hitting 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.920 third Tuesday against the Pirates. These are little tiny things 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.880 to mention that I think are useful. Welsh, what do 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.040 you make of that move of Matos to the three hole? 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:25.520 You like get? 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.560 I love, absolutely love it. We I mean we talked 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.840 about him the other day, like the like he's coming 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.000 in relatively hot, good batting average, hard hit numbers are there. 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.880 He showed off in the Arizona Fall League, and he's 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.480 a solid contact guy who can run. So if you're 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.240 gonna give me him in the three hole this year, 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.720 we're gonna move from like, yeah, decently solid fifth outfielder 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.080 in a twelve team to like, no, maybe he is 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.600 getting into that must pickup range. If he gets to 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.680 consistently hit three, that would be huge. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.240 Yeah, all right, let's get to well a little rookie 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.720 lookie Mark ventos two four with a homer. That's good 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.320 because baby can't hit it all. So I really don't care. 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.560 Three up and three down. Mason Miller struck out all 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.240 three guys that he faced yesterday against the Rockies, but 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.320 still I don't care. It's his first save of the month. Though. 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:16.400 That was the most surprising thing to me. A's are 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:17.320 gonna A We. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.760 Had a Joe, We had this conversation on itl We 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.120 did like a big closer talk. And you've got like 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:27.240 Emmanuel Classe who you know, like at the tippy tippy 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.760 top bunch of saves. You got Clay Holmes who has 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.040 not given up an earned run this year. Knock gun 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:37.000 would and then comparing against like a Mason Miller, Like, 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.960 how do you rank Mason Miller. Now I don't want 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.440 to go into a big thing here, but like Miller, 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.720 this is the prime example of why he can't be 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.720 the number one. Number one stuff is Mason Miller. But 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.240 you can't because this is what first save in May 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.600 and it's the twenty second day, Like, this is his 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.120 ultimate problem if you're in that save market, unless he 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.360 were to get traded, which I don't think he would be. 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.000 Well looking at where he is right now on the 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:03.240 Big Giants say board, he is tied for eleventh in 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:04.600 the league with nine so. 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.480 The seventeen it's over seventeen k per nine right now, 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:12.160 So I mean, he's the most absurd strikeout guy. It's 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.159 just he's not stacking in the saves like. 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.080 Mason Miller, by the way, has forty one strikeouts. That's 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.879 twice as much as Emmanuel class A, who's at the 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.919 top of the save board of fifteen saves. He's got 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.640 twenty four strikeouts, so nearly twice Like that's that's kind 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.960 of that's Craig Curry. So he is basically lapping the 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.639 field Almomy and just about how many twenty five innings 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.800 for Class A with twenty four strikeouts, which is k 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.520 per nine. That's what you want. Mason Miller twenty innings, 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:39.600 forty one strikeout. 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.440 I just I happen to have this up right now. 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.080 Ranger Suarez sixty six innings, sixty eight strikeouts. So just 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.360 getting like a perspective of innings to the K per nine. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.199 K per nine is where you want to be. That's 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.320 where you want to live. But closers, you want it 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.280 to be a little higher than that, and his is 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.480 a little higher than that. Let's just let's just put 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.520 that out there, all right. Let's get to more ops. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:05.040 Joe Ryan six ks, seven innings. Good job w over 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:09.879 the Nats. Brian Whoo pitch six scoreless innings, struck out 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:13.680 seven for the win against the Yanks. Three down, Christian Javier. 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.440 I thought we'd get back on track. We did not 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.280 bad Joe. That's okay. I'll take it. I take the 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.520 eight hits, four runs. I saw somebody in the chat 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.920 asking ten team league you drop Pavier? Would you drop 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:26.240 Pavier intintingly? 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.160
