Welcome everyone. The Peanists like Jacks. It's me 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.040 Joey p. That's the Welsh, and I've decided Welsh Mondays 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.400 are for the theme song. We start the week off 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.959 right with a little theme song to brighten up your Monday, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.600 just in case somebody's got a case of the Mondays. 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:13.679 And we got a lot for you today. We got 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.480 some trade talk, We've got James Wood, We've got Garrett 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.959 Cole's performance yesterday. So much to talk about Welsh just 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:21.920 so damn much. 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.199 It is, so there's so much. I like you said, 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.000 we've got James Wood, We've got the Garrett Cole start. 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.800 I'm very excited to talk about that. And a little 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.240 Rookie of the Year bet that we've been talking about. 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.559 Those odds have changed. You know what I actually found 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.840 out just kind of throwing it out here. I forgot 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.800 I had bet on him preseason, so I actually have 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:40.760 that bet very loud. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.039 What did you have him at? 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.000 It was actually plus six hundred, It was what it 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:45.880 was like a week ago. So I got it around 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.400 six hundred for mister White Langford. So so much to 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.840 talk about. Such an eventful week, by the way, this eventful, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.240 awesome weekend. We're like, oh, hey, it's Paul Schemes, Garrett Cole, 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.800 James Wood's happening. And then they drop a Monday and 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.560 they're like, here's three games. Dropping three games on a 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.720 day is asinine. I might be a lawyer in this. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.840 I'd almost rather just like not have games on a day. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.040 Let's just close to the All Star put. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.519 Yeah, like, what the hell are we doing here? I 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.120 don't know. The schedulers got drunk out here. I don't know. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.839 But let's so James Wood. Look, it's all the James 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:18.960 would today. He is going to be promoted. He's gonna 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.639 play against the Mets to day. My buddy Sam's going 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.560 to the game. He's a huge Nationals fan. Shout out 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.120 to Sam. Hopefully he enjoys the game tonight. Again, short slate, 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.040 So all the bets today, James Wood themed. It's gonna 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.360 be a good time. We want you to get in 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.560 on it. More James Wood in the program. I want 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.080 to start with Garrett Cole because again, this is why 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.840 did not become the Grim Reaper right away. It was 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.000 a good start for Garrett Cole. Let's not pretend like 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.560 it was the greatest start ever. He had six strikeouts, 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.920 one run. But I want to give some context here. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.280 This was a Blue Jays lineup that didn't have Bobashett 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.239 in it. This is a Blue Jays lineup that has 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.440 a four hundred year old Justin Turner, and it's got 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.120 Dalton var Show striking out all over the place, and 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.840 it's got again. You go through some of the names 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:00.800 that they were playing Sunday and it looked pretty much 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.720 like a Triple A lineup. So yes, it was good. Yes, 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.360 the velocity was better. All of that was positive. So 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.079 I want to take those positives, but I don't want 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.880 to lose the context because I think context does matter, 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.359 because we've seen him be great against these slap nut 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.360 you know, Triple A squads, Double A squads, and the 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.959 Blue Jays basically threw out a Quad A squad against him. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.520 Outside of lad Guerrero and Varshow, the rest of his 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.200 team was not good yesterday, but it was a very 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:32.280 good start for Garrit Cole compared to the last two 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.880 Welsh You've been waiting all the last twelve hours for this, 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.360 so go ahead and we let you have your time. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.920 I'm trying this Joe dish and it's a little salty. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.560 This dish is a little salty. I'm going to put 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.440 it back there. Yeah, I mean, what contextualization you put. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:48.600 On it there? 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.920 You're like, wow, yeah, he's hitting like two thirty on 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.040 the season. They got old ass Justin Turner, I don't know. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.560 I mean the Blue Jays, Yeah, they're not who they 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.720 were before, but this is also a team that's like 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.600 like not a major strikeout team. There's phills difficult. Oh no, 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.800 Vlad is one of the hottest players in baseball right 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.200 now over the last couple of weeks. I mean, it's 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.520 a pretty minimalized take on how you were victory. You 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.159 were Connor mcgregoring in about your Garrett Cole stuff and 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.120 he goes out and. 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.640 He was although I went to top here because I 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:26.480 you're Philefa Horowitz, Justin Turner Springer. Is it in two fourteen, 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.000 Dalton varsha win a Buck ninety nine, Janson Hitch, Joe 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:35.680 Buck twenty seven, he's in two twenty seven, Clement and Kirmier. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.400 This is an impressive lineup. 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.080 Come on, hey, these are somebody's sons. Joe. You're being 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.520 very rude. You're being I don't mean. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.240 Okay either a good lineup. 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.080 This is. You know what the problem with this is 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.440 is this is a little bit of that like you 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.280 know where you're like, well, if you take this game out, 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:53.920 in this game out and blah blah blah, and it's like, 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.040 guess I'm not doing that. But here's what you wanted 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.679 at of Garrett Cole. You want results when he should 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.960 get results, they are gonna be tough games. Guess what 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.279 when he goes up against the Orioles, who just hit 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.719 like I think they're the third team ever, it'd have 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.960 sixty home runs in the month of June or a 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.200 single month. When you go up against the Orioles, you 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.520 might give up three or four earned runs, you might 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.520 have a dicey start. But when you go up against 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.040 teams like the A's, you should dominate them. When we 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.000 go up against teams like the Blue Jays, who I'll 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.280 admit a notch above the Rockies and A's, essentially at 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.960 this point you should be good. And guess what he 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.839 was year over year half a mile per hour up 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.480 on the fastball. That's what we wanted. We wanted to 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.320 see that he induced twelve whiffs in that start for 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.960 a team that doesn't swing through a whole lot of stuff. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.680 He had a twenty nine percent csw that's good. These 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.560 are all the things that we want out of him. 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.680 And only gave up four hard hit balls. That would 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.440 be the other thing I would point to where you're like, oh, 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.039 there's only four hard hit balls total. 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.039 Yeah, because George Springer hasn't hit a ball hard most 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.760 of the year. Either is just a turner. But again 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.120 my point is Jackie, because I was yelling, so Jack, 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.480 I'm gonna say this in a quiet voice. I'm gonna 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.040 do some as Mr. Can you hear that? 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:08.240 On that? 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:09.320 Yeah, we're gonna do a little of. 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:10.000 This, Jack. 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:15.880 This lineup was a joke. Kirmeyer, Clement, Danny Janssen, Justin Turner, 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:21.680 George Springer, Horowitz, Horowitz, Spencer Horrowitz, come on, let's go 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.640 iSER Isaac Isaac, Isaiah Kiner, Fileffa. I couldn't even say 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.200 his name, right, I just I can't even say Listen, 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.239 it's not a good lineup. It's a good start. Those 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.920 both these things can be true. You are right, yeah, no, 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.680 one hundred percent right. And I am also right. This 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.679 lineup was a joke. Outside of lad I guess. 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.760 I like it. That's fine. It was a good start. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.599 If it was would you be super impressed if Andrew 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.279 Heaney went out there and had a great start yesterday 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.920 against them, what would you be here? Like would that 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.320 be the lead today? Like look at Andrew Heiney's six strikeouts? 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.120 And like we talk about Garrett Cole every day because 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.320 you're like Garrett Cole's washed and he's done, And I 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.200 did say. I never said rather, I've never said, never 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.360 said I'm pretty sure. 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.480 I said he's a ticking time bomb. I never said 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.520 he's washed. I never said he's done. Those words never 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.320 came out of my mouth. For more Crossfire, stick with 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.119 us here on Fantasy Cross again. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.800 All I said, this is the last thing that was 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.240 a critical start, after that one where you were like, 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.440 I didn't tell yourself. I told you, so that was 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.600 a critical start. You weren't talking about how garbage the 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.960 blue Jay's lineup was last week and what the start was, 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.440 and now because he was successful, it's like, okay, so 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.400 yues what the next one as critical to get consistency 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.840 with him. But the stuff is still there, the filo 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.000 is there. That's what we want. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.080 Yay, Garrett Joel, I am not right nor wrong, Yet, 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.200 he says, be an adult, admit you were wrong. I'm 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.640 not wrong because I said he's a ticking time bomb. 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:47.560 Let's give it six weeks. If Garrett Cole goes out there, 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.480 I will come on this show. If he finishes the 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.480 season strong and looks great, I will come on this 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.000 show happily and say I was one hundred percent wrong 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.600 with Garret Cole I got no problem with being wrong. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.120 I talk about being wrong all the time, not too 0:07:58.240 --> 0:07:59.800 much because I'm not that often. 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.000 But I have no one admits to being more wrong 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.480 than me. Nobody's more wrong than I am. Okay, no, 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.520 but here's the thing. Listen right now. 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.200 I'm also not going to do backflips because he was 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.560 great against the solutions. The velocity being up is good. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.880 Also good, Aaron Judge. Another home run for me, another 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.200 home run for him. Wait to go erin Wyatt Langford. 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.160 That's the real thing to talk about today. Wyattlangford hit 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.080 for the cycle yesterday. That number that just two weeks 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.200 ago was plus twenty five hundred was now plus six 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:31.800 hundred going into the weekend. You know what it is 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.360 this morning plus four fifty. So guess who doubled down 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.920 this morning on that? This guy? So he got at 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.760 twenty five hundred, he's got it plus four fifty. And 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.080 guess what this is gonna be a big, big payday 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.559 if this one works out, because Wyatt Langford, I'm telling 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.880 you right now, I think is the real favorite for 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:47.400 this am. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.120 I actually saw a worse number than you. So that's 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.319 interesting because I looked last night and Heel has moved 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.560 to plus one thirty and Langford was like two forty 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.200 or something like that. So yeah, when we had that 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.520 debate before, or I mean in admittance, it was like, hey, 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.960 why at Langford is a solid bet for it? Still 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.720 I was there was no chance I was betting on Heel. 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.080 But my point was, he has a really good opportunity 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.640 to kind of hold on to that spot if things 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.640 don't blow up, and if he can maintain that spot. Well, 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.400 it's been a rough couple starts. We still don't know 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.720 the trajectory of it. He comes out of the rotation, 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.640 he's gone. But that's why you didn't bet him at 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.280 minus money. I think the next one was Mason Miller 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.840 not doing a closer, especially with the a's, So that 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.040 was why Langford made the most sense if you were 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.640 making the bet. But also two weeks ago he was 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.199 the buye for me as well. K percentage was super low. Hitting, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.600 Homer's batting average was way up last month and the 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.080 month of June, and it's continued on and that buying 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:53.080 opportunity is gone. It is, it's gone bye bye right now. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.520 And I will say this very interesting time for prospects 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.960 everyone is so jaded. Right now you're getting the turnaround 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:02.760 like Heshton kirstein come back. 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.120 Looking as grand slams think for a good. 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.240 Sureio has been incredible over the last we talked about 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.040 him weeks ago. He said, look, he's walking a little bit, 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.040 he's making better contact. I know the numbers aren't there yet, 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.720 but you can see the comfortability factor starting to settle. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.199 In the same thing with White Langford. I know the 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.559 power hasn't really popped yet, but what you want to 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.440 see is confidence in contact. When you see those two things, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.160 power will follow for these guys. That's just it's like 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.280 touchdown regression at football. You're gonna see those things happen eventually. 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.679 You want good performance, you want confidence with these rookies, 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.520 and that's a really good thing. Langford right now, in 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.840 the month of June closes things out. Two eighty three, three, 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.520 forty seven, four forty six slash eighteen RBI six deals 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.439 in twenty five games. Just two homers. But Welsh, you 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.760 and I both know if he hits five homers in 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.640 each of the last three months or somewhere near there, 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.760 he's winning this award. Yeah and I both know it. 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.280 If he keeps up at the pace I think he is, 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.280 and the guy I was going to finish with is 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.800 Jackson Merrill is the other one I want to throw out. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.640 So you want to talk about the rookie researches. Did 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.480 you know since June first, there's only one player that 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:04.120 has more homers in baseball than Jackson Merrill, Aaron Judge. 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:04.040 No. 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.000 One. Jackson Merrill is making a vie for the All 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.760 Star Game at this point and a great bet there too. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.120 So the learning curve at the beginning of the year 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.800 I think was way more difficult, and you're seeing guys 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.880 that are stepping in and finding their adjustments. Cheerio Langford 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.760 cursed out in the short element. It'll be really interesting 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.760 to see what happens with James would today and if 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.959 he experiences any of those or if he just comes 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.960 out the gates banging. But yeah, I'm I'm fully on board. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.760 I was buying him. I did a so rare video 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.400 I think on White Langford we might not saw it. 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:42.600 We did video and the and the trade by so 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.640 very very handsome. 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.640 Man on those videos, Welsh, you know you come off. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.880 Really well on the such dark like mood. I'm like 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.400 Hey everybody, Hey everybody, it was a friend. 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:53.760 Ose you want to play a little so rare. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.120 That's my impression. You did my impression that was good. 0:11:59.000 --> 0:11:59.800 I do say friendly. 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.080 I saw BIZI resigis in the chat, also saying that 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:04.559 who are we kidting? Joe? You're not going to show 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.959 up in August and take an l Yes, I will. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.839 I will absolutely, In fact, I promise you this. Not 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.679 only will I take an OL, I will record and 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.600 I'm sorry video in the style of the South Park 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.280 bp A president every time there was an oil spill, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.760 I'll film a video. I'm so sorry, We're sorry. I 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.520 will do the whole thing. But God help all of you. Now, 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:27.880 if he comes off and does one of these things 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:29.760 in July three. 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:34.000 He gra either way we're getting a video, and either 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.080 way a video is coming. The only problem is is 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.360 of like, if he's like decent, you're gonna be like, 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.840 I'm not gonna do the video because he wasn't like great. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.360 No no no, no no no, great is not even 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.559 what I'm talking about. If he look, if he pitches 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.400 to a five VR, then I'm gonna take a victory 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.440 lap and you will, and you will admit that I 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.920 was right about it. If he if he pitches to 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.599 a three e R and wins games and pitches the 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.960 rest of the season, hard l for me. I'm I'm 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.640 mad enough. It's fine, I'll take the Well, let's let's go. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.559 Let's see what happens, all right. A lot of strikeout 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.240 performances here. Joe Ryan ten strikeouts for him, Garrett Crochet, 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.679 We're gonna talk about a little bit. No decision against 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.280 the Rockies, but he was terrific, no walks, eleven strikeout, 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.280 Tosh Bradley another one eleven strikeouts walked to Andrew Heaney, 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.280 who I made fun of earlier, but struck out ten 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.080 on Sunday in a win over those Orioles and Pablo 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.840 Lopez on Saturday Welsh nine k's another good start for 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:31.120 Pablo Love that also unfortunately Tristan McKenzie sent down option 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.320 to Triple A with Gvin Williams coming off the IL 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.280 and mackenzie has not been good. So I know Welsh 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.040 has never been a big mackenzie guy. Let's have some 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.439 fun here. So Gunnar Henderson thirty six game on Bay 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.480 streak is snapped. He was zero for four, struck out 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.199 all four times yesterday boo. But he is going to 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.679 be in the home run Derby. And speaking of the Derby, Welsh, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.960 did you see they changed the rules again? 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.079 See what we're doing? I read them and I here 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.520 was the first response. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:56.960 I get it. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.679 When I read it, I was like, just SMI, what 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.880 do we make this easy? What are all these like? 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:03.440 I think they did forty. 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.760 I don't understand it. They said there's like forty pitchers 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:06.280 and this and that. 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.440 Just put a clock on that harder one thing they 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.320 did make easier. So in case you missed it. So 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.440 the home run Derby this year, instead of it being 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.319 single elimination brackets, there's just gonna be like a pool 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.240 and then the top eight guys move on to the 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.000 bracket stage. That's fine. I like that better because the 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.680 whole bract like why should a guy who hits twenty 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.560 home runs it loses to a guy who's twenty one 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.800 not advanced when a guy hits eight. That's how they 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:32.040 do like they. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.520 Do it like the high school home run Derby's. It's 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:35.480 the same way. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.600 Yeah, easy, but you're right, this whole like three minutes 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.080 or forty pitches thing. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.040 And then you get extra time if you hit one, 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:43.840 four one. 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.480 Make it easy, Make it easy? Yeah, why do they 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:46.840 have to do it? 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.960 Take it easy? You're on third Street. 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.160 Kevin Gosman, he's been taking it easy. Like what is 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.880 going on? Talk about checkl and hide this year Kevin 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.920 Gossman against seven runs. Now, I know it's against the Yankees, 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.960 but Soda wasn't in the lineup four things against the Yanks. 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.320 He walk five, struck out seven. He's been all over. 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.120 The more, more Jekyl than Hyde unfortunately. 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:07.960 Yeah, I agree, And this was a guy too. If 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.560 you recall not healthy going into the season. Remember in 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.600 spring training was was it an elbow or shoulder? I 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:13.680 can't even remember now. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.840 It doesn't matter it was it was something we should 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.440 have been more concerned about. 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.400 I was super concerned, and I wasn't. I was full 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:21.040 Bogman on. 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:22.600 That, and I should have been a little bit more. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.200 But he's been a disaster. He's been one of the 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.840 big focal points in my my Shota like analysis of 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.920 these two pitch pitchers. But I mean he has just 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.120 more been blatantly in our faces. Expected era is over 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:39.920 five right now, brutally bad, kazered down walks, don't look good. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.280 He has an eleven point three barrel percentage given up against. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.360 And if you look at his pitch mix too, here's 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.080 the problem. I mean, I wish I could show this 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.120 on screen. His splitter is not in the zone. It's 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.360 it's you know. So when you do like a heat map, 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.400 you'll see like blue, that's where some of the pitches go, 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.040 and then it gets the dark red is where that 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.040 is a predominant part of the pitch. The predominant area 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.160 of that splitter is outside of the zone. So what 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.200 does that mean? You sit on fastballs and guess what 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.880 his fastball has been worse. It is dead red middle 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.760 of the zone. It's lost a mile per hour. I'm out. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.280 Someone in the chat right when we started was like, 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.640 should I get rid of relicst Gosman. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.400 I can't drop him, but maybe somebody sees him as 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.440 a by low and maybe you can flip him for something. 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.640 I might like, I don't know the context of your team. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.360 Gossman might be dropable. In a ten team, you would 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:37.480 be trade him. Yeah, if they trade off, I think 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.280 they could look, but I think his values that are 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.200 an all time low. They probably don't. If you have 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.880 if there are good streamable options. You are better streaming 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.560 than you are dealing with Kevin Gosman rest of year 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.720 because every every underlying metric is telling us a really 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.440 bad story. Inefficient as far as strikeouts, expected numbers bad. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.080 He's getting barreled up and he's inefficient. So I'm out. 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.640 It could fix, but I don't need to be there. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.920 You are better streaming unless you're in like a deeper 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:06.920 league than that makes it a lot tougher. But even 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:11.680 twelve teams, there's probably viable pitchers out there that would 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.680 make more sense than dealing with Gosman. It's bad, bad. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.600 Tristan mackenzie not the only guy that got sent down, 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:21.639 Tylord the terrible Tyler McGill gets sent down to Syracuse. 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.840 So we're getting bhutto or getting Christian Scott back Welsh, Well. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.880 I would say Christian Scott. I think they even said 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.119 Christian Scott was going to be down, you know, just 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.960 to kind of like maintain some innings, but he wasn't 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:32.560 done for the year. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.359 Well that's a good thing. Now. What we do like 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.880 to do here on the program is talk a little trade, 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.359 and it's a great time of year where teams are 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.439 realizing if they're in or out. So it's time to 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.360 talk some trades for week fifteen with Joey p and 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.960 the Welsh. So Welsh who is on the board for 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.440 us this week when it comes to making moves. 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.280 All right, well, I've got call them definitives. I've got 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.200 three players that I'm involving in trades that I'm gonna 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.000 give you. But I want to have a public congress 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.760 station here. So here's going to be the question. So 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.359 people in the chap can comment, and anyone watching this 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.520 on demand after the fact comment below. Should we be 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:15.040 trading Garrett Crochet? I believe Garrett Crochet kind of sits 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:19.280 in this Louis Heel world conceptually. Everybody feels there's a 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.560 couple of those guys. It's hey, this guy seems like 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.080 he's kind of limited a little bit, and they've performed well. 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.960 Everybody and their mother last month said this is the 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.440
