And so is the Welsh my co host, 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.400 and it's me Joey Pa Joe pisap like that. How's 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.520 that for some fun? We're here talking baseball. Bryce Harper's back. 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.760 We're gonna get into that. We're gonna get into how 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:33.960 I did on the strike propaganda yesterday, the strikeout propaganda. 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.959 I've got so many strikeout props? How did we do? Oh? 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:38.320 You like the guilds? 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.479 You like strike I am like the Writer's Guild. You know, 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.680 there was a time years ago where there was so 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.479 much reality television going on that people like the Writers 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.480 Guild was really in a bad spot. Now I feel 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.120 like it's the opposite. I feel like every single streaming 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.720 network would stop. I can't believe that you and I 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.160 don't have a series on Netflix or Hulu right now. 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.960 Like it is, so many of these things are like 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:02.560 look at this show, look at that show, look at 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.000 this show, And they all have writers and They all 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.479 have people working on them, which is great for Hollywood, 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.280 but I literally can't keep track of any of them. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:09.960 So good for them, go get paid. Well, are you 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.280 going on strike this afternoon? 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.520 No, No, I'm not on strike. I'm here to work. 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.039 I'm here to do the work because today it's a 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.120 glorious day. It's a glorious day and all the land 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.000 of baseball because the piece of news we're going to 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:23.479 talk about here in a little bit, but we get 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:28.080 to talk about amazingness from yesterday, amazingness today and beyond. 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.200 I have a personal question to ask you at the 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.200 top of the show, and I'm putting you on the 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.720 spot here. Don't worry, it's not that it's not that interesting. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.360 So before the show, I'm folding the kids laundry, you know, 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.480 trying to you know, get all that together. And not 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.880 one of my children puts their socks just in. They 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.160 all put them inside out when they put them into 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:48.840 the wash. Now, I don't know if that's the right 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.400 thing to do with the wrong thing to do, but 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.080 it is the most tedious thing to have to turn 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:56.040 every single one inside out and then match them again. Now, 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.440 I'm the kind of person I take my socks off 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.400 and I just put them in. I don't turn them 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.600 inside out? Do you turn them inside out when you 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.120 put them into the wash? I want to know maybe 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.080 I'm the anomaly here and I'm the weird one. 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.960 No, it doesn't have I mean, if we're gonna be 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.080 really honest, I'm very little shoe. I'm a I'm a 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:13.320 Sandals guy because. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.040 I live out here in Arizona, Arizona, right. 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:15.520 Yeah. 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.959 And also I know a pair of socks. 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.840 Well those are like huge feet like I just bought 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:21.840 I think did I said this one? 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:22.320 Here? Was it? 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.160 I it's a bought a pair of fourteen Nike running 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.320 shoes like that's it's a crazy So it's not crazy 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.080 to me. I will just put them in. My kids 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.200 what they do is they take their clothes and they 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.680 throw them across the house and sometimes they'll take tape 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.680 and they just tape them against the walls and they 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.600 attempt to make the biggest possible mess they can and 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.600 throw it everywhere, literally everywhere across the house. There are 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.440 closed so we have to go and find it. It's 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.280 like a scavenger hunt, and then we can put it 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.280 into the washes. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.320 Interesting buzz in the chat on this conversation too, like 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.560 there's a cause of Danni h. He never does sandals. 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.680 He also lives in Arizona, So there you go. There 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.200 you go. Positive grouch says, I pull off my socks 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.640 as they go into the wash, but he always, you know, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.440 go ahead and doesn't turn them inside out. We've got 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.600 Tim who said my kids do the same thing. It's frustrating. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.919 I'm just saying, like, now we have baseball talk about it. 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:17.760 Am I losing something? 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.880 Like you said, you just take them off and throw 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.000 them in them off saying they do the same thing. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.000 No, I'm saying, they take them off inside out, like 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.280 they just rip them off. I take them off and 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.960 they are exactly how they were when I had them 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.600 on my feet. They just rip them off inside out, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.080 throw them in there. So now they watch, which is 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.080 probably smarter. You're watching the inside of the sock. I mean, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.960 it makes sense, but it's tedious and I gotta put 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:39.560 him inside out. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.160 Then Peter Gross So this is all the conversations, I guess, 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:43.000 so weigh on. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.120 Me unleasure that guy from House a Dragon, he loves feet. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.120 Let's get to to baseball, Welsh, Let's get to at 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.480 the top. Here, Rice Harper came back, oh for four 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.600 with three k's. There you go. I mean, what did 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.680 we expect? Did we expect him to come back and 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.840 go three for four with a home run, two doubles. No, 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.040 he had zero training. This is gonna be The fascinating 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.400 thing is how long before Bryce Harper is Bryce Harper? 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.600 Because I'll tell you what, if he doesn't look like 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.560 Bryce Harper till mid June, then all of this early 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.920 return stuff was a big waste of time. 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:13.480 Yeah, I mean, I think it's going up against a 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.640 lefty here too. The guy said he didn't want to 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.400 take any of his ad bats in the minors and 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.320 he wanted to do that, you know, at the major 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.280 league level. So yeah, like you said, this is what 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.039 was gonna happen. I mean I'm not really sure, Like, yeah, 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.480 what is everybody? Is anybody freaking out? This is what 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.440 it was gonna happen. This was kind of part of that, like, hey, 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.039 you know, if you're a worry ward are you gonna 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.760 maybe get out and maybe move off? Now it's like 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.640 a little notch down when everyone's like, oh my god, 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.120 the three strikeouts, like it's gonna be an adjustment period, 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.400 but it will all quiet the minute he hits one 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.839 four twenty five off of whomever. It's just probably gonna 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:47.440 take a little bit. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.400 Yeah, Razor Ramon. By the way, I do a TV 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.479 show for the last four years on Sports Grid, so 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.800 I haven't left you yet. I'm not going anywhere unless 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.679 NFL network comes calling, which I don't think that's happening anything. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.000 I'm not pretty enough for that. Maybe I don't. 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.480 Know, or Netflix if they wanted to do more Netflix. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.440 I'm pretty reality show, I think so. I thought our 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.280 draft coverage was good enough to be on a network, 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.599 that's for sure. And yes, Ryan, I gently take my 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.760 socks off, very very gross. 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.800 This is gross. All of his savages with your sock stuff. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.719 Move on. You know what? You know what was gross 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:26.400 or filthy? Bryce Miller wait ten strikeouts? Boy, talk about 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.800 the weekly fab budget just getting skyrocket for this guy. Right, 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:34.080 So yesterday we had tempered expectations. Sixteen consecutive batters he 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.480 got out. Twenty four year old pitching prospect came up 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.760 for the Mariners yesterday. In case you missed it, you 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.120 don't get a lot of double digit K debuts. It 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.960 doesn't happen very often. So now the problem is this, 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.000 I just recorded the waiver wire video. He was already 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.120 on it going into yesterday, regardless of what you were gonna, 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.640 you know, have to spend on him or how he 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.320 was going to perform. But now you have this, what 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.880 is the inflation cost on the waverwire for Bryce Miller. 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.960 I think Bryce Miller is going to top Logan Allen 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.080 and I think he's gonna sit in the tanner Byby 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.440 range because there, remember you have to do the the 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.200 equation because this is the a's So everybody wants to 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:15.200 remind you and be like Wells. So, you know, a 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.840 normal team, maybe this was like four hits, seven strikeouts, 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.320 It doesn't matter. He was so good. Just into perspective. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.599 His fastball was absolutely absurd. He had eleven whiffs on 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.560 his fastball, forty percent CSW. His others kind of started 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.280 a little bit slow. I was actually going back and 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.880 forth with Lance Brastowski, who did really great breakdown this morning. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:39.440 They baseball Savant classifies as a cutter slider, except I 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.559 believe the cutter is that gyro that he told me about, 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.680 and the slider is actually more of a sweeper. And 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.720 he's still trying to find command of that, but nobody 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.400 could do anything on his fastball. And this is like 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.440 what he's built around. He pinpointed that thing. He has 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.760 a four pitch arsenal. So I think he's gonna go 0:06:55.200 --> 0:07:00.400 probably around Biby Price and it's probably gonna be one 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.240 fifty to two hundred, so fifteen to twenty percent, and 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.360 that might even be more of a percent. By the way, 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.040 this is all not even talking about Mason Miller. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.080 Who was on the other side and had a no 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.480 hitter through he got take He got a no hitter 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.760 and taken off of it because he got to one 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.800 hundred pitches. Both pitchers hit thirteen swing and misses. Both 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.680 very different pictures. You know, that fastball just blows it 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:28.000 by everybody. With Mason Miller. Bryce Miller definitely a little 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.320 bit more of a tactician if you look at it, 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.520 with you know, the cutter and the slider moving around. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.120 He didn't really throw a lot of changeups. As he 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.240 gets more comfortable, he's going to be great. This is 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.640 what I had been selling in the preseason, So thank 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.560 you all the nice people that are loving that I 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.800 had talked about him. But Bryce Miller was killer, And 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.640 it wasn't just the a's. 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:46.400 It was a little bit. 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.760 It wasn't just I mean that helps, well, good facing 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.160 the a's helps, but that's not going to help you 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.320 with the inflation rate on the way. Nobody's gonna care 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:54.960 about that. They're gonna look at the outcome and they say, 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.119 oh my god, tens reikeouts a run and pay double 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:57.880 what they were gonna pay. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.520 Anyway, Is he going to line up to Sunday? Would 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.240 he have a start on Sunday? 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.200 I'd have to know if they have an off day 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.280 Thursday or not. I have to leave. 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.200 Okay, that's important because you know, like the Tuesday would 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:11.920 line up to a Sunday start, and he. 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:13.760 Just Sunday and throws up a turd. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.480 That might the wild one too, is you know it's 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.760 a little bit later. It could really line up right. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.240 It could like you know, push right up against like 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.520 fab time. But like I said, I think it's gonna 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.520 be somewhere to fifteen to twenty percent. People are gonna 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.640 be aggressive because what did the Mariners need another picture? 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.239 And that dude had a no hitter going into the six. 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.760 All right, let's play a game which Miller Bryce or Mason. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.280 Who would you rather rest of season? 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.200 A man? Like? 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:41.440 All right? 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.760 So for how I can kind of be like, hey, 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.520 look at me, nobody had. 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.960 That's exactly, by the way, that's a really good impression 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:49.120 of you. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.000 I'm the Welsh and me nobody was right than me 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.480 on Bryce Miller. It's true I was the highest in 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.040 the world on Bryce Miller, but I probably was like 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:00.840 one of the lower on me Mason Miller. So like 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.520 where you're right, you can be wrong, you know, pick 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.600 and choose. So like I'm gonna take Bryce Miller, Mason's 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.200 Miller's stuff looks a little bit more electric, but. 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.840 Brice Mill in there well, better team too. I don't 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.520 disagree with that dynasty. Who would you rather have? Mason 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:16.319 Miller or Bryce Miller? 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.000 I'm a b I had Bryce Miller over Mason in 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.200 my all, my stuff, my prospect, my dynasty prior to this. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:24.800 By the way, in the chat, just to get back 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.880 to the untalkable uh point, we had at the top 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.960 of the shoes some animals and crazy people out there 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.480 put the one sock and one shoe on at a time. 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.720 Who does that? What you put your socks on then 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:35.199 your shoes on? 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.000 He was like they do left foot sock. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.880 Yeah, sock than shoes and then sock than shoe. The 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.200 hell's going on here? What the world are we living in? 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.680 That is weird? By the way, uh, Joel said. Bryce 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.040 Miller lined up against Houston on Sunday, so. 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.280 Okay, so that could be the reckoning a little bit there, 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:50.559 thank you. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.679 That might bring the cost down if he does pitch that. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.800 And the problem is if you're in those daily transaction 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.880 leagues and he wasn't picked up yesterday right now, I 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.840 mean you had to have put in, you know, us 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.400 serious bid to get him, and you just got to 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.800 hold your breath. Ezekiel Duran propelled the Rangers past the 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.800 Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. So he had a big home 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.080 run and ev of one oh seven point five on 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.760 that home run, he's got three twenty eight five, three 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.560 fifty seven five twenty two h slash right now with 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.080 three homers and fourteen rubies got two steals too. What 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.480 are your thoughts on Ezekiel Durant, because this is another 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.080 guy kind of way under the radar. 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.240 I feel like, you know, it's funny with him. We 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.280 just had this long conversation on rates and barrels me, 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.040 you know, and DVR about him yesterday and this team 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.640 because you know they've got outfield help. It was actually 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:37.600 built around Evan Carter. But my argument has been, you know, 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.040 as they're looking at this, you know, entire team in 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.280 this construction, Ezekiel Durant is playing shortstop. Corey Seeger will 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.240 be back at some point. That's going to take him off. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.319 I don't think you want him out of this lineup. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.080 And I think he can go and play left field. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.120 So I really think you could be looking at like 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.880 him and left field, locking that down, and then you've 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.960 got you know, adules and right field, so your center field. 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:58.880 There was really more about the center field position, but 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.160 my point to all of it was Zekiel duran has 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.600 played so well and is versatile, hitting the ball really solid, 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.720 could run that. I don't think he can be taken 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.640 off this team. He might be more of a super 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.760 util type of player as the season goes on because 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.800 his spot will be taken. But he is definitely interesting 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.000 to look at him, maybe like deeper twelve team leagues 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.040 until seekers back and then let's just see how they 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:20.560 you know, how they sparse it out. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:26.880 Okay, continuing to discuss the last night's action. Joe Ryan 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.080 six shoutout innings for him doesn't get the W of 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.439 course though, but he's now five and zher with a 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.520 two three seven the RRA on the year, just saying 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.560 it's another cy young candidate right there. For Ady Peralto 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.160 was great. This is an important point too. He's in Colorado. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.440 Ten strikeouts for him, I think a tied a career high. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.720 I believe if I saw it this morning. But you know, 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:46.920 pu couple, he asked me during the week, Yeah, I 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.640 don't want to start par Alta in Colorado. And I 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.120 said why I want to start? I want sat everybody 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.400 against the Rocky. You start everybody against the Rockies until 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.600 further notice. I don't care if it's in Colorado, outside 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.120 of Colorado. I don't care if it's at the Colorado Cafe. 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.160 One like that that Jay Cutler mean right now out 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.959 Colorado or whatever? This You know Peralta in seven, you know. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:05.120 Well that's the lebron one goal. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:10.480 Yeah, but I feel like you know, Freddy Pralta has 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.959 been tremendous this year. The Colorado offense is not good, 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.040 although Ezekiel Tavar seems to be pulling out of the tailspin. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.640 That's one that if you can buy low on him 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.880 or somebody dropped him after being disappointed in him in 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.280 the first couple of weeks, I'd be back on that bandwagon. 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.320 Speaking of bandwagons, to be on Brandon Fott day, ladies 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.480 and gentlemen. The twenty four year old is a three 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.400 to nine one one point one eight whip and thirty 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.800 strikeouts in twenty five innings to just six walks in 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.800 triple A. He is getting the call Brandon fought. Okay, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.000 here's a fun one, Bryce Miller or fought rest of season. 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.040 Well, I mean I think, like I'm gonna say, Brandon 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.800 Fott probably no matter what. But there's arguments. So here 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.720 a couple things real quick. I'm gonna be doing a 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.360 live stream on my itl twitch if anyone wants to 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.720 hang out for Brandon Fott start, so you can jake 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.840 that out of Twitch, the TV slash in this league, fotcast, 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.240 the Fought cast exactly. I'm gonna be livestream and just 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.079 be a companion thing. There are things to be worried about. 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.720 Lance Brasdowski did a great breakdown of him yesterday and 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.120 the most important thing in this is to watch his slider, 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.040 because his slider is a little bit more unique. It's 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.120 kind of sweeper. I never heard this term before. It's 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.760 called the hand of God's slider. It's a very low 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.240 amount of people that throw it. It's a very very 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.600 deep sweeping slide. I know, I've never heard that term before. 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:24.760 Are you making this up now? 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:25.360 I thought. 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.559 I was like, it's not like a slutter, It's not 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:29.080 like that. 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.240 This is a real exact opposite. It's an anti slutter. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:33.720 It's the heart slutter. 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.400 Well, dude, when I when I got on throw it 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.120 on Sundays, No, you can't throw It's like Chick fil A. 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:39.800 No Sundays, that's the only time you can't throw it. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.440 So he'll never start on Sunday. But like I said 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.959 it to DVR on Eno and they were both like, oh, yeah, totally, 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.600 And I'm like, yeah, totally. It's a hand of God slider. 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.240 I've totally heard of that. But it has a high 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.960 sweep to it that he can command. But here's the 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.320 problem with it. That's one of the reasons why he 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.600 gives up those fly balls. So what I'm watching for 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.959 today is the overall command he doesn't throw the curveball 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.480 a ton. How the fastball does so much of the 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.240 work stuff, plus numbers have been kind of mitigated in 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.160 the PCL. So what we're looking for is we're looking 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.079 for command, and if the command is off, he might 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.320 get lit up. Texas is a tough team. If that 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.160 slider's going, he's going to eat him up. He's going 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.040 to eat him up. If he's commanding it. He's a 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.320 solid command pitcher. But there's just a couple of things 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.280 to watch for. So if he gets lit up, it 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.480 might change a tiny bit. But at the end of 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.800 the day, I'm here for Brandon Fott, I'm here for 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.560 the Big Three pitch Mix, and I'm here for the 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:32.600 hand of God. 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.680 I'm sorry that I've never heard of that. It feels 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.960 like X plug. It feels like something that's made up. 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.880 I never heard that. Are you sure they're not like 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.200 getting you one, you know, one over on you. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.640 Well, they're all a big group on it. I mean, 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.360 at the end of the day, all it is is 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.160 it has so much more. I want to say it 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.800 was like vertical break than a just a traditional slider, 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.040 but it's essentially a sweeper as you know, had said, 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.040 it's like it's like a version. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:00.840 Can't we just called a slider? 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.680 Can't just who was the what it was like Deckie 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.960 or dice k. Didn't he have like a weird like 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:07.760 all these terms. 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.520 A lot of the Japanese pitchers come over like you. 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.920 Dorvers has seven seven hundred and fourteen pitches that he 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.920 throws like he's got, you know, and they've all got 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:15.040 different names like the names. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.880 I like that. But Brandon Fat didn't name this, by 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.960 the way, Apparently this this is a very common name, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.280 very smart baseball people like me and all the others. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.600 That I've never heard this before. And at Lance's. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:26.400 Video, it's it's really good. 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.120 I'm sure. I'm sure it is. I'm sure. I can't 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.520 believe it. The sock and shoe conversation is still going 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:32.000 on in the chat. 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.080 What do you guys do? It hasn't stopped. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.560 It's crazy discuss we couldn't even get I mean, I 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.840 thought that whole hand of God joke was pretty good 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.240 about can you throw it on a Sunday? Nothing. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.080 The biggest thing in the too, this is this is 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.880 what's getting them too. I don't know if you've noticed 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.840 this they're doing and I've seen this debate before. They're 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:54.400 doing the whole order conversation shoes or sock sock shoe, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.760 shoe or sock shoe sock shoe. Like it's becoming a. 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:02.040 Big shoes shit. That's that's what I do anyway, I do, but. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.560 I'm not married to it. It's sock sock shoes shoe. 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:06.640 But it's not like this is the only way to. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.680 Then somebody was bringing up the milk or the cereal. 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.320 First listen, you put the cereal. I learned this actually 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.400 on I think it was on Food Network. I saw 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.400 somebody do this, and I was like, that is genius. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.280 Why did I never think of it? You put your 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.640 cereal in the bowl, and you know some cereals, especially, 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.560 they get really soggy really quickly. You just pour the 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.920 milk in one section, just one section, straight at You 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.960 don't spread it all around the top, like around the top, 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.840 because this is when you're the commercials and we're morons 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.680 and we just spread it all around the top. You 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.880 put it right in one section. What that does is 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.400 it just creates like a layer underneath, and then you 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.240 have all the crunchy cereal. So every time you go 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.280 from the top to the bottom. You're always getting some 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.440 crunchy and some non crunchy Cereal, and I it does, like, 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:49.280 four years ago, change my life with cereal. It's the 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:50.160 only way I'll do it. Now. 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.360 This guy's offended by the hand of God's slider, but 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.960 he's got a full analytical breakdown of how you eat 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:58.480 cereal and how the approach is to get the proper crunch. Joe, 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.600 this is incredible. I didn't know you were such a 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:02.080 serial guy. 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.679 Yeah. Well, I'm not a huge heerial guy, but I 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.200
