It was a whole 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.120 lot of rain all weekend, So Joey P didn't leave 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.639 his house, which was nice. After the NFL Draft took 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.479 a lot out of me, so that was good. I 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.599 stayed in my pajamas most of the weekend, not all 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.120 of it, just most of it. And Welsh he had 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.000 a little little detailing done on the old automobile, like 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:48.720 this weekend. 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.040 He had a big, big, old adult weekend. You know, 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.640 maybe a little bit of a home depot. I don't know, 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.000 if you have time. Yeah, I had a card detailing, Joe. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.680 It's exactly I watched baseball. You got a card detailing 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.319 and dealt with more animal stuff, with a new animal. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:05.959 We're fostering. 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:08.840 Animals died. I hope this weekend. 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.240 No no, no, an animal. No, another animal was brought 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.520 into my house. It is literally a zoo into my house. 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.480 Speaking of animals, Happy birthday to cousin Donnie yesterday he 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.720 Happy birthday, Donny. He turned I don't know how many years, young, 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.199 but young enough, young at heart. That's all that matters. 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.680 Gus and Donnie. Hope everyone's doing well out there. Obviously 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.160 a lot of baseball to get to. So let's get 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.399 after it. Let's start here with Jacob de Gram. You know, 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.800 I feel like I deserve this. I deserve this. 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:39.840 I just like you want to know what I was 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.479 not looking forward to all weekend was this moment right 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.399 here because I knew exactly what was going to happen 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.080 to just do it all right. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.480 Well, here's why I deserve this one. All year, I've 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.680 been such a stickler and a pain in the ass 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.640 about the eight and a half strikeout rule going under 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.360 every time. This was the one time all year I 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.760 went over the and Havel strikeout rule. The one time 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.640 was Jacob de grom and granted he was certainly looking 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.160 like that was going to get obliterated. That didn't have 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.640 There's no doubt about that in my mind. But he 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.000 lands once again on the you. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.240 Want to hear the worst, You want to hear the worst. No, No, 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.720 we didn't announce that. We didn't say this, but I 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.520 think I mentioned this on the show earlier or later 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:25.120 last week that Frank Stanful from CBS and I we 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.920 we like to chat about betting and stuff like that, 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.280 and we've been I brought up the ladder betting, and 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.520 we have been talking for weeks about you know, when 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.240 are we going to get into a ladder bet? You know, 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.440 you just take the stacking of the strike talking. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:38.880 About this last week. If you missed it, go back 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.480 and listen, everybody, Well, explain ladder bets. We'll do a 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.360 BP show about it too, where you do like a 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.880 fun MLB BP show the next week or so. Go ahead. 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.360 Well, we've done a great job of like talking ourselves 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.360 into a guy and then being like, nah, there's too 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.640 much risk, blah blah blah, and we hit it every 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.280 time we've gone against Well, Frank texts me and goes, 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.239 look at this lineup. Look at this Yankees lineup to 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.240 gram is against like it's a big number, but it'll 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:05.000 never be lower. And Frank and I both ladder bet 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.440 that one. So it was that was not we It 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.000 took a lot of a rewin. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.679 You are more depressed than I was. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.520 Okay, I didn't thin get a lot of recooping to 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:13.760 get past that moment. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.480 So now if you're keeping score at home, you have 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.519 the spring training side injury, you have the two week 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.160 into the season wrist injury, and now the elbow injury, 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:24.600 which is gonna put him on the eye l He 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.160 went on the I already this weekend. They're still calling 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:35.160 it precautionaryuary. It's gonna be a couple of weeks. You know, 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.840 it is what it is. I mean, I just want 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.560 if I get it. You went into the business. Maybe 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.000 you got a discount out on my draft. The minute 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.600 they say he's clear to return, take what you can 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.760 get and run, just run. I don't care what, I 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:49.880 don't care if it's something, you. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:50.800 Don't care what it is. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.600 If you gave me Sonny Gray rest of the season 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.600 for Jacob Degram, I would take that and I would 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.320 run away with it. I know that makes you depressed. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.080 I'll take it. I'm gonna run away with it because 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:02.480 at least there's a guy who's gonna go out there 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.560 with fIF day and take the ball because you can't 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.880 keep going out there making three innings starts. You can't 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.800 do it. And then it's like three innings and I'll 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.480 see you in three weeks, or it's six innings and 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.360 then I'll see you in six months. Like that's how 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:15.360 I feel about Jacob Graf. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.880 I don't agree with that. I actually I let Wonky's 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.520 comment in the chat is definitely right. There definitely wasn't 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.040 enough of a discount. I will like in some drafts. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.760 I guarantee you there were I'm sure in some there 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.120 was enough people in some drafts where they went, oh, 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.800 you know what, I don't like this collective. You know 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.880 people in those leagues where they said, I don't want 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:33.719 to go to Jacob DeGroff. 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.360 Maybe the league, all the leagues had the ADPs too 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.599 high and stuff. There wasn't enough of a discount. I mean, 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.440 I'm gonna kind of just repeat what I've been saying, 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.120 like this is what you paid for, this is what 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.040 you got. He was gonna miss a bunch of we 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.560 projected him to miss like forty to fifty innings already 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.960 ready this year, which was I don't know how many 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.479 starts that equates to. It's plenty of starts, so we 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.560 knew that was going to happen. This one's a little 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.600 bit more serious. I got like a got like a 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.919 little inside source in the Rangers, and before the offici 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.520 anouncement came out, the word out was like he's definitely 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.640 hitting the il and they're unsure about going under the knife. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.080 And that is like a really really concerning statement right there. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.640 But I disagree with the whole like, get whatever you 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.240 can get now you have to I think you have 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.839 to build the strategy back up now to your point, 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.599 you could be fearful he's going to come back and 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.440 immediately just break again. He's just gonna fall apart again. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.279 What would what in the last two and a half 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.679 years tells us that's not the case. 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.920 I don't know, but you're missing what I'm saying. By 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.080 what you might be saying is he's going to come 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.640 back and immediately get hurt. And if that's a case, okay, 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.880 I guess you could take the sunny gray What I'm saying, 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.320 is you get him back. First start, everyone holds their breath. 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.359 Second start, everyone's like, okay, he's good again, and you 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.440 build back up the value and then you can move 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.400 on from it. Like he's having what about every four starts? 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.800 It seems like there's something going on. So when he 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.240 comes back right after that third start, then you can 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.080 get out if you can't handle this. 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.320 I have a I have a metaphor for this situation, 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.240 and as I was listening to you, I came up 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.080 with it. Okay, so yeah, I see your your sign. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:11.040 A chat. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:12.440 The chat's noticing the sign. 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.360 Now the chat the chest's noticing a lot of things 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:15.480 and has a lot of good questions, and I want 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:16.640 to get to them, and I want to stop talking 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.559 about this as soon as we can. But you have kids. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.640 I have kids, you know, whenever you are, you know, 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.840 you have the little babies when they're little, you know, 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.960 you you give them a little bath. They're so cute, right, 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.120 But there's always that that period where you're drying them 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.560 off and you're holding the little baby, and any given 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.800 time something could happen. I remember one of my you know, 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.240 my oldest daughter, you know, I remember it was giving 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.520 her a bath, wrapped her in a little Elmo twe 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.600 She's so cute, she smelled so good. Right, you take 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.080 the baby out, and the baby poops in the towel. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.000 Kid, Okay, okay, now, no, no. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.440 I'm going somewhere with this. And and that's what Jacob 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.359 de Gram is like right now. It's like holding a 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.000 kid right now, at any given time before you get 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.599 them to the table to put the diaper back on 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.680 them and secure what's going on, and so you don't 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.800 know whatever happens, you're secure in it. At any given time, 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.080 it's gonna turn to poop. And that is a thing. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.599 There's a window between the bathroom and getting them to 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.360 the changing table. That is the window you have here 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.000 with Jacob de Gram, And it's terrifying because it could 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.720 happen at any moment. And there's also this weird comfort level, 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.160 like everyone's super relaxed, everyone just had a bath, everyone's 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.680 in a good mood, and then boom, there it is 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.080 a disaster and then you know what happens. You're right 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.200 back in the bath again, and you gotta clean them 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.800 a second time, and you gotta clean up all the mess. 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.880 These are are you advocating to get rid of your child. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.760 No, I'm advocating that Jacob de Gram is that danger. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:40.800 He's that danger between taking the child in the swaddling 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.119 towel to the changing table, and you know there's that 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.400 that danger in between it. Any minute it's going to happen, 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.040 and sometimes it does. And that is the metaphor right now. 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:51.760 I want to get to other things not called Jacob 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.240 de Gram because that is an absolute crap. 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.400 Sure, what you're saying is this, please change is diaper? 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.520 Please change Jacob's diaper. 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.920 I might look We're all headed for diaper someday again soon. 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.000 Here's a great one tough Talk with Teacher's podcast that 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.760 sounds like a tough cut down at period four and 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.880 have a discussion with you, young man, Bibby or Alan, 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.480 who would you rather have rest the season? 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.240 Man? Alan was really good another eight strikeout performance. But 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.200 I'm I'm Tanner. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.080 Pibee, You're I'm a Biby guy too. I want Tom 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:20.640 both have them both because I think they are better 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.440 than the other crap they have in the rotation. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.280 One hundred percent. They brought up Alan first and there's 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.560 a potential I suppose he could stick but I think 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.560 Byby looks so poised that that's the guy. But I 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.240 think both of them. I actually think both of those guys, 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.719 but I would edge out with Tanner Piby all right. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.160 And also, yes the free fought sign behind Welsh if 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.360 you're watching on our YouTube channel. So we're getting excited 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.079 about fought. More on fought. In the second, let's get 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.280 through Brent Rocker, ninth homer of the season, nine home 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.000 runs for Brent Rocker. He was still Rooker. Excuse me, 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.760 I get why is it Rocker because he's rocky baseballs 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.560 all over the place. But Brent Rooker just crushing baseballs 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.199 all over the place right now. He was still in 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.640 my way this week, and I don't know if he's 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.439 if somebody finally picked him up. I think everyone was 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.320 just like looking at it, like yeah, right, okay, whatever. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.640 But I mean Jacksonwinski also another guy too. He's slashing 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.880 two ninety seven, four thirteen, six fifty six with six homers, 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.040 He's got eighteen rubies and four steals. What's going on 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:19.560 here with Jacksonwinsky? Because this is another one of these 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.760 situations where you're looking at it, you know it's not sustainable. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.360 But have have you found something here or has he 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.200 discovered something that makes him somebody can feel good about 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.160 rostering rest of season? Or is this just a complete 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.040 bizarre April Anomally. 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.800 It's actually very interesting you bring him up because he 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.199 is going to pop up in my video tomorrow as 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:36.800 the top one. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.400 And what is in trade away or trade four? Trade five? 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.000 I wonder trade four. I'm gonna tell you, I guess I 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:43.280 could have. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.480 I could have, Well, you could have. I was gonna say, 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.040 I thought you were going to tease the audience, but 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.439 around here we just guilty. No, We're just right at it. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.160 We're just changing diapers, we're cleaning one drink, getting home, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.800 Let's go home. That's actually Swensky. The cool thing is 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.600 he might like still be available, And I think in 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.240 CBS League he was still under fifty percent if I 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.240 remember correctly. But yeah, I agree that like it will 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.079 come down, the regression will take place. But the stuff 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.400 that he's doing it's bonker. Like his batting average XBA. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.400 His expected batting average is lower but top two percent 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.880 of the league, XLUG, top four percent of the league, wOBA, 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.240 top four percent of the league expected wOBA, his walk 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.720 percentage is high. He's starting to lower that K percentage 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.880 and he's hitting the ball crazy hard. Let's get a 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.320 twenty twenty guy. So I think he's a great piece 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.320 right now because I just don't think people have added 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.040 up to the production. And this is one of those 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.040 guys where it's like when you ask, hey, would you 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.400 sell would you sell him? What are you gonna get? 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.840 I don't know. I would be the guy that would 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.760 go and buy Sewinsky. I don't know if people have 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.320 bought in enough because his ownership's not even there. So 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.520 I would go and buy him on the dirt, dirt cheap, 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.840 just because so much of the underlying stuff, even when 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.520 he kind of adjusts, it's very very positive. 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:51.400 Let's take a quick break in the action and tell 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.679 you about Fanimal. I love live events, but I hate 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.400 buying tickets the hidden fees they suck. It's like paying 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.560 for a whole other person who's not even there to 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.040 be there with you at the event, and customer service 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.640 is terrible and coordinating with friends is a nightmare. But 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:10.760 then I discovered Fanimal and Fannamal has tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball, 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.040 you name it, and major League Baseball and plus there's 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.880 no fees. The price you see is actually the price 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.240 you pay. What a concept. You heard it here first. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.000 Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.000 MLB tickets. And we've all experienced how painful it is 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.840 to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.760 end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.880 down the friends to get reimbursed, and if they flake, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.800 I'm stuck with the whole bill. But f Animal's patentent 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:39.000 group purchase makes it easy to split payments with your friends, 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.160 so nobody's left holding the bag and you don't have 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.240 to commit until your friends do. So just pick the seats, 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.360 pick how many tickets you want to pay for yourself, 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.959 and then send the link to your friends. And when 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.000 you join your group, everyone gets started separately and your 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:56.480 tickets are secured, so you can stack cash by inviting 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.880 friends ten bucks every time someone joins your group. So 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.800 fanomal has amazing customer service to don't take my word 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.920 for it, check out there hundreds and hundreds of five 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.520 star reviews.

Check out fnimal and experience more. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.160 And now back to the app. All right, let's continue 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.200 on here. Let's talk about Clayton Kershaw. A great performance 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.960 on Saturday again, recapping the weekend nine case for him 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.920 in seven innings. Grason Rodriguez, congratulations, nine strikeouts and five 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:39.240 innings of shutout baseball there, and he gets his big 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.120 w's first of his major league career. Luis Robert, let's 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.600 talk about this Welsh. I am salty this afternoon. Boy. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:51.720 Let me tell you, I am saw te Luis Robert, 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.080 who I actually had a deal in place for, and 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.120 I said no to it because I was a little 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.720 worried about him going into this year. But I'm worried 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.560 about all the White Sox now official, so this is 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.400 my biggest disappointment. He was pulled for the game because 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.080 his lack of hustle. Layamenez can't hit water if he 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.440 falls out of a boat, and he's always hurt. The 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.360 White Sox feel like a complete and utter train wreck. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.559 I thought getting rid of the manager last year, maybe 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.960 a new voice, something would break maybe this is him 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.040 breaking these guys out of these bad habits. I don't know. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:27.680 But between lance Lynn's performances, between Robert and Amenez who 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.400 are there long like they're locked in here to long 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.240 term contracts these guys, and we all applauded at the time, 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.680 it seemed like a really fiscally responsible thing the White 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.240 Sox did. And now in Dynasty I see questions about 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.640 Louis Robert here in the chat what do you do 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.160 with Robert? Because this is another guy too, is just 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.000 grossly underperformed this year. 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.280 This is one of my guys I was kind of 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.640 out on. It was very I was very vocal about 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.559 Robert because A the injuries. B even when he's healthy, 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.240 what did what did the you know, the per one 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.280 sixty two add up to when we looked at some 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.319 of the stats, and it just it didn't seem insanely 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:06.040 impressive to me, Like Tim Anderson is more interesting in 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.640 what he can do over a full season, which never 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.000 ever happens. Lol, it's happening again then what Robert would 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.840 have done? So what do you do? I think there's 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.680 still enough trade value. I do think it's a bad look. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:21.960 That stupid. It was awful if you didn't see him 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.640 not run out what could have easily been a single. 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.200 And I think there was some rumor of like there 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.440 was a hamstring thing or something like that that was 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.160 out there. But I think there's still enough name value 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.080 that I would jump out as well. I would jump out. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.240 I'm not in the Luis Robert game. I don't have 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.040 any shares. I really don't want any shares. And how 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.920 hilarious is it that the two best performers on this 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.440 team have been like Lucas Gielito and when Moncata was healthy, 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.240 those were your two big guys. You know, we're getting 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.960 back to Andrew vaugh Andrevon was very good this week 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.200 and with that walk off shot. But yeah, I'm out 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.120 on a lot of the White Sox, but I have been, 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.360 so this is kind of me a reiterating you. 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.520 Want me to make he depressed even further. Lewis Robert 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.240 has a six to sixty one ops. That's lower than 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.560 Adam Frazier and Cabrian Hayes. You like them apples, how's 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.920 that for you? It's also it's also higher than Bobby 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.200 Witt Junior, but we don't want to talk about that. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:15.600 That's na no, no, no move on. 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.840 Diamondback's calling up more prospects. Dominic Fletcher show come to 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.040 the big leaguees hitting three twenty three, four seventeen, five 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.080 to fifty nine with three bombs on the year. Corbick 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.120 Carroll banged up the knee a little bit. It's just 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.080 the knee bruise. He's just gonna be fine. To give 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:30.760 him a couple days off. I'm not worried about this. 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.520 Any thoughts on Dominic Fletchers have any stream appeal to you? 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.080 Yeah, I think so. I mean, this was one of 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.200 the he was actually one of the reasons why I 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.320 have many reasons I thought Jake McCarthy could be sent 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.480 down because those outfielders are playing really well. There. It's 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.000 a good defender. This is David Fletcher's brother, by the way, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.560 Don Fletcher. Good bat good, probably more of a point 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.920 leeks guy can get a little bit of homers can 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.120 definitely he's in this whole big crew of guys that 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.280 can run. I'm not like overly excited. I don't know 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:57.800 if I would actually stream unless it was like a 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.760 big big league because, like you said, probably only going 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.800 to be for like a couple of days. Probably get 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.960 Carroll back either Wednesday or they've got like today off 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.240 and Thursday. Maybe Carol is back on Friday. 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.920 All right, A couple questions here. Let's do these rapid fire, 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.960 hell or high water trade Robert for mateo you want 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.520 to dig that trade? Nah? 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.560 I can't do that one. I get it. I get 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.520 what you're doing there, and get it. Do you know 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.720 what in redraft? No? No, I still can't do it. 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:21.720 But it's a lot closer. 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.600 I get it. I get it. I ain't mad if 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.080 you look if your season's hanging on by a thread 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.400 right now, I get it. I'm not saying do it, 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.440 but I get it. Here's another one from EWE two 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.640 K we would to pick up this week? Strom Justiah Gray, 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.880 Logan Allen or aj Puck Interesting. 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.400 I'd have to go look at the matchups. The matchups 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:43.600 probably would play a little bit. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.800 Of a rom first, but Logan Allen would be the 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:47.600 second choice for me. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.520 Alan and I was about to say Alan and Stromer 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.960 the top two. I probably might play like a little 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.640 bit of I just again, I just don't know what 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.200 the matchups are off the top of my head, but 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.080 those are my two big I don't I'm not gonna 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:58.520 worry too much about I mean, if Gray has like 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.080 a really good matchup, I could consider him, but I 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:05.280 still wouldn't go over allan instrom All right. 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.320 There you have it. All right, let's continue on here 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.880 with the Sunny Gray who I mentioned before. I don't 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:12.959 know I want Sunny Gray because he had six more 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.120 innings seven strikeouts on Sunday Might Picture of the month. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.240 He was four and oh in April zero point seven 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.320 to seven ERA and six starts. Not too bad. Here's 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.600 all the injury recap. So Jose your KUITI Sunday Night 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.040 start left due to shoulder swords. Keep an eye on 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.240 this one. Look, Haunter Brown has been a revelation in 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.840 that rotation him, Framber Valdez and Christian Javier is a 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.160 really good three. Your queity is important, though, so keep 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.040 a close eye. Hopefully this is not a major issue. Tyler, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.840 Molly's gonna miss at least four weeks. Posterior impingement and 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:44.280 flexer pronator strain. So impingements can be very painful, but 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.800 hopefully this is something that with rest pronators. All right, Well, 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.240 nothing like her, you know, did you get your pronator detailed? 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:51.840 When you were at the car place this weekend. 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.000
