A Welsh, I know 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.960 it's it's a baseball show, but yeah, obviously you're excited 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.120 for the draft. I know you have no picks tonight, Well. 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.400 I mean, like you know a misnomer about me would 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.080 be that I'm only baseball. I've only been doing football 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.560 coverage as well since I started in the fantasy industry. 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.680 I'm just much more prominent in baseball and stuff. But 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.920 I love me some football, love me some forty nine 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.959 ers who will not be partaking today. I have a 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:12.920 trivia question for you. 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:14.240 Oh okay, let's go. 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:19.080 What first round NFL player his brother made his major 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:20.720 league debut this year. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.040 Oh that's interesting. A major league player who made his 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.759 debut whose brother plays in the NFL. Can you give 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.280 me a team or no? No hints for me, l 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:30.840 in L. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.640 So this player will be drafted in the first round tonight. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.840 His brother made his major league debut only like a 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:38.720 week or so ago. 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.800 Oh wow, I somehow missed this, but this is fantastic. 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.600 Who is it? It is Jackson in Jigba, Canon and 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:51.280 Jigma because Canon Smith and Jigba is his brother. So 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.559 there you go. The brothers actually saw his brother during 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.760 an AFL game a couple of years ago. But yes, 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.800 Canaan Smith and Jigba with the Pirates made his debut. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.480 His brother will be potentially the first overall or first 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:04.760 wide receiver taken. 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.400 Potentially maybe potentially more on my thoughts on that on 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.520 the other show. This is baseball time, so let's get 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.320 after it, and we're gonna start with Welsh getting a 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:12.919 home run call. 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:13.320 Yay. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.640 For a while, she look at you. I told you, 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.519 you know, we had to go back to Fernando tatis. Well. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.119 By the way, I saw a clip of Fernando Tatiss 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.360 playing in the minor leagues where people were chanting that 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.280 you did steroids and he was dancing to the chant. 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.600 Did you see this yet? I saw it on the Instagram. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:29.760 That was in Chicago. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.000 It was in Chicago. I throw it. Those Cubs fans, 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.720 those Cubs fans hilarious. I loved it. I mean, good, 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.320 good for you, Good for you, Fernando, and I'm glad 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.800 that Welsh you got another home run call. That's great. 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.040 Bad news though we hate I hate starting the show 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.200 with bad news, but this is bad news. It's bad 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.880 news for my Seattle Mariner shares. It's bad news for 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.080 fantasy people who are managers, who have Robbie right, who's 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:58.000 gonna undergo season ending left flexer tender tendon not tender. 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.400 I want chicken after the show. That's why said that, 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.440 but tend and surgery Welsh. Look, this is a big 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.079 blow Robbie Ray. For whatever you think of Robbie Ray, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.639 I know he was polarizing. Some fantasy experts really like him, 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.520 others do not. He was an incredible source of strikeouts 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.359 for the last what like six seven years. So this 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.600 is a big blow to this rotation. Where do fantasy 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.840 managers go from here? And where do the Seattle Mariners 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.880 go from here? Too? Because they can't keep road and 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.119 flexing out there. They need to go find somebody else 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:27.760 in this rotation. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.200 Well, I think fantasy owners have well hopefully you have 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.800 a lot of good options. I mean, Tanner Biby was phenomenal. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.920 We'll talk about him. You've got Todge Bradley, You've got 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.000 some of the Gottlin TODs Bradley situations. A little mud 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.160 a little bit muddier than it was even yesterday, by 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.160 the way, because we kind of found out his situation. 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.360 But there's a lot of good rookie starting pitchers that 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:47.960 have kind of been floating around. So that's where I 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.480 would say, like, if Tanner Bibby is out there, that's 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.360 the guy that would be the one. But you know, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.320 probably too late. As far as what the team does. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:04:00.320 They've got a whole crew, they literally have. It could 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.600 be a future staff at Double A right now. The 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:07.280 problem they all kind of stink. Emerson Hancock, Bryce Miller, 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.080 Taylor Dollard, Brian wu is someone who has been pushing 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.520 up a little bit played in the AFL. That's a guy. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.000 So my thought is at some point they're gonna look 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.320 at trading. I just don't think it's gonna be anytime soon. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.880 I think they're gonna put flexing out there until they 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.880 can't like some teams, and then hopefully one of those 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.520 guys will have popped up. If not, maybe the market 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.560 will have opened up, and then I could totally see 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.880 the Mariners making a big splash. I just don't think 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.400 they would go and get some like middle line pitcher 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.440 like that's flexing like. I don't know why they would go. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:37.520 They need, they would want to. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.000 They're going to go for somebody else. I'm trying to 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.599 think of who might fit that bill of a team 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.560 that's going to be out relatively soon, because I think 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:45.720 you want to do this sooner than later. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.120 If you're there, I've been theorizing, like you know you 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.480 could look at like the Reds Graham ash Craft or 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.800 I just don't think like Lodolo would be available. But yeah, 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.200 I mean you have to go start going down the 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.880 list of White Sox have been getting out of it. 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.920 How you know, how far is too far for that 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.640 the Cardinals are going to get back into its Washington. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.200 Cardinals are not going to be the place The White 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:06.920 Sox is an interesting one. I mean maybe at some 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.400 point you just break up the band here with the 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.279 way that's been going for them. Uh, that's that's certainly 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.280 one that could be. I'm trying to think it's some mother. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.720 It might be some guys too, you know where you 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.800 see some teams that look some of these lower market teams. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.440 Obviously it behoves them not to move these guys. As 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.279 soon as they move them, the more they get prospect 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:25.159 wi back. 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.200 But see, like that's the problem with this whole situation 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:28.760 when you start to if you start to play this, 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.279 if like you're a Mariners fan, there's just nothing to 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.680 do right now because everyone and is kind of in it. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.560 The bad teams are playing up a little bit. 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:35.839 You know. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.240 You know, here's one that just top hopped in my 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.920 head at whar Dorodrigez with the Tigers. Seems like that's 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.720 every one of the most coveted guys you could probably. 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.760 That would be the absolute perfect guy you nailed at, Welsh, 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:49.000 It's definitely Rodriguez. What's the Taj Bradley extracurricular stuff? Okay, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:49.880 so I might have missed this. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.120 What do you know? What is this? 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.400 MLB insider Chris Welsh know that. I don't. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.480 No, it's just like doing a little bit more research. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.040 So maybe everybody knew this, and I'll totally acknowledge I 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.360 just might be the dummy here. So when they said like, hey, 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.840 Taj has got to, you know, get on the five 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.719 day schedule, It's just like, what does it mean? Like 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.080 what are you talk to? I thought I didn't understand that. Well, 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.280 it made sense they sent him down. He's going to 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.920 start multiple games on a five day schedule. Like they're 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.640 going to send him down. He will not be back 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.240 up for what is presumably probably two weeks because they 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.160 want him to make multiple starts on the five day 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:27.240 schedule in the minors, which is asinine. That's crazy. 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.320 I don't they know what that ain't happen. I'm calling 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.240 it right now. That's what they said, that what the 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.599 organization wants, but you know, they lose a couple of games. 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.120 Next thing you know, the manager turns around says, no, 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:38.640 we got to get this kid back up here. I'm 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.560 not buying that for a second. I'm sure that's what 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.320 the organization is thinking, but I don't know if they're 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:44.840 going to go ahead and execute that because. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.320 It never comprehended to me. I couldn't understand like, Okay, 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.120 you got to get on a five day schedule, we'll 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.200 just do that. It'll go and just have him do it. 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.000 But they're like, literally, they want to see how he 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.560 is and they want to see how he pitches. And 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.760 this also might align to the other really horrific news 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.480 we're going to talk about as far as pics go, 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.839 where there might be tiny little days of manipulation that 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.000 are still going on. Because I know we're going to 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:07.280 talk about Jordan Walker. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.080 Here, that's business thing. Then I get it, like if 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.520 there's some sort of manipulation with the business, and then 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.000 I understand how that goes. Speaking of manipulation, yesterday, I 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.960 hope you listened to the parlay of the day because 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.240 we nailed it here. Hunter Brown recorded eight strikeouts, career 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.880 high seven, shutout anythings. He was great. Beat the race, 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.720 we got the w we got the strikeout over ooh 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.640 week good times. So that made some cash. Yesterday Tanner 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.880 Biby pitched five and two Thursday innings, one run, ball, 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.440 struck out eight. It is win. I saw highlights, but 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.120 you actually watched a little bit more of this. So 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:38.320 take me through the Bibby star. 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.760 Yeah, he was fhhenomenal. It was so crazy too. I'm 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.240 completely enamored. There was this thing last night. I you 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:51.520 saw it. Zach Gallon through this pitch to Vinnie Pascuentino 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.160 and he's like, it's the craziest pitch I've ever seen. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.320 Was it a change up? Was it a cutter? Everyone's 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.640 kind of talking about it. Pitching Ninja put it out there. 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.000 It's just wild pitch. Yeah, well couldbar slutter. It might be, 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:03.600 as a matter of. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.640 Fact, Look I mean not everything could be a slutter, 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:06.560 but you know, I mean. 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.840 Well it looked. It was so nasty. Everybody in it, 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.960 like that Vinny swung it hit the ump, the catcher 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.280 couldn't catch. It was this awesome gift. My point is 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.320 is like that pitch had me namored watching Tanner Biby 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.840 in this slider that he threw. I don't remember seeing 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.800 it like this. It was like a twelve six slider 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.920 that it looked curvy at times, sometimes it broke. He 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:32.040 threw it more than his four seen fastball, which was crazy. 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.000 He had forty four percent slider usage. He had a 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.040 thirty nine percent swinging or whiff rate on it, and 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.280 he overall had a thirty three percent csw Also, guys 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.760 were just staring at it. Thirteen called strikes on the 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.800 slider to just pin pointing it across his zone. Really 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.959 great command pitcher. That slider is going to give people fits. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.200 He's going to have to implement his change up more. 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.959 But you know, like if he was sitting out there 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.400 and you got burned in some pitching aspect, he's such 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.080 a great pickup right now. And they are talking out 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:02.439 of both sides of their mouth where they said, like, 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:03.920 h we're gonna keep them around a couple of days, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.040 see what happens. And then the other side is he's 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.440 going to stay in the rotation. I think it's decently 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.280 likely he stays in the rotation, But you know, what 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.320 the hell do we know? With how everyone's managing their 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:13.200 prospects right now. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.280 Well, let's talk about it. What do you think when 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.360 you look at the Guardian's rotation right now? Where do 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.360 you think who gets bumped from that rotation? 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.040 Well, I mean, I think the only assurances are you 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.120 got Beaver, Savally will take it when he comes back, 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.120 and then McKenzie's going to come back in a month. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.320 So I think you have realistically two open spots, and 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.320 I think that should go to Bibby and Logan Allen 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.400 because you get another one, I get Lefty in the lineup. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.199 So I think that's the play. It's always a possibility 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.439 they do something stupid because they of all these teams plenty. 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.040 Do you know they could put police Sack back in 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.920 the rotation or whatever. I think that's the play. But 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.400 they've got some time with Savally and McKinzie back, and 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.320 like Biby is the player I think that can hold 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.479 the longest. I just think he is a complimented command 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.679 with an insanely good breaking pitch that keeps hitters off balance. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.400 And it's like I was saying this lest on a CVS. 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.000 I want to see the Taj Bradley curveball and the 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.280 Biby Slider. I just want to see gifts of them 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.800 back to back because those are two just the nastiest 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:17.760 rookie pitches I've seen all year. 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.520 You know, it got me thinking, I'm still you still 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.800 nail that Eduard over Rodriguez. Things so well that if 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:29.080 I was somebody being proactive looking for pitching, go make 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.600 a trade for this guy now before those rumors starts swirling. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.679 I could not agree more. That's the perfect dude. Rodriguez 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.400 is the perfect guy to go. Move on to Seattle. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.079 And if you haven't fantasy an d it's up on 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.160 a better team in Detroit. It's just a much better scenario, 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.920 much better run support across the board. That's definitely the 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.080 way to go there. All right, let's continue on with 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.920 more depressing news here. Jordan Walker was sent down yesterday 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:56.000 Welsh surprising, I don't know, but frustrating. Nonetheless, your thoughts on. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:11:01.480 This, Yeah, it doesn't make sense, it's stupid. It's when's 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.319 the last time you saw like a guy hitting two 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.880 seventy four who made the opening roster, as you know, 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.360 the big face. He's a big face of this team, 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.719 big young guy, Rookie of the Year. Candidate and they 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:15.079 sent him down. It's old baseball bull crap, with Marmal 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.080 being like, well, I just can't find a spot for 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.640 him anymore because a few really because of Nolan Gorman. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.080 Here are the two big things that came out of this, 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.400 he said in an interview. Nolan Gorman's the reason for 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.480 this because they can't put him at DH because Gorman. 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.760 Nolan Gorman has been playing so well. That's crazy because 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.880 you had him come up at the very beginning of 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.319 the year. The other side of this we found out 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.680 I was reading an article on the Athletic is that 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.200 they can still manipulate some service time. If he is 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.200 down in the minors for twenty days, he will not 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.600 be able to accrue a full season, which gives them 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.000 another year of eligibility, as long as he also doesn't 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.480 finish in the top two rookie of the year. So 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.079 if they keep him down for twenty. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.560 One days, yeah, do the job, and it probably is 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.360 out rookie behind Gorman Carrol. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.440 So yeah, well, and James Autman and Carol are both 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.520 two to one, and the next closest is saying at 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.520 ten to one. So if it's twenty to twenty one 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.560 days and he doesn't finish in the top two, they 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.719 own another year of service on him. He could come 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.760 back up and it can get Super two and stuff 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.680 like that if he comes back in about two weeks. 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.800 But that seems like the play, like, how do you 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.880 send a two seventy four guy down? His defense kind 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.000 of stunk, Sure, but I think it's crazy for his defense. 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.760 Come on, everybody there. He's there to hit baseballs. And 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.439 I'm tired of these slap nut outfielders for the Cardinals 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.319 clogging up space for good hitters like Jordan Walker. I'm 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:33.160 just I'm over it. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.760 You're wrestling promo, Yeah, I am feeling. 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.000 Let's get to some of the penis and the Cracker Jackson. 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.760 The chat Echo Beast was offered Aeronauto for Alec Manoa 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.520 in redraft head to head category league. Except if you 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.360 got enough pitching to do this move, you do it. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.160 Aeronado is the better asset in my opinion. But here's 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.720 the only thing. It is a head to head league, 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.040 So if your pitching is thin as tempting as this is, 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.160 I would say no, it's really a roster question at 0:12:58.200 --> 0:12:58.679 the end of the day. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.720 Welsh, your thoughts, Yeah, I'm and I could do it. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.880 I'm not not huge on Manila right now, so I 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.160 think this is something I could swing. But like what 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.800 your roster looks like is probably my best answer. You know, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.520 if you had horrific third and horrific corner and stuff 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.920 and you're grade at outfield, sure I jump on it. 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:15.400 If it's inverse, I don't know. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.640 Here's one for Alfredo Rodriguez. Zach Gallen given Strider a 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.840 run for a cy young money he is and who 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.600 was our dark horse cy young candidate? Trying to remember what? 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.240 Oh right, it was Zach Gallon. 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.640 That's who it was yours, you know, credit to you, 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:29.199 that was yours. 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.000 I say, we it's the Royal we it's out of 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.439 it's our show. You know, it's it's us, the Royal Weeks. 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.520 So when you hit a home run, call right, then 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:37.240 it's all you. 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.040 And then I come in late at night and I 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:39.840 put at the very. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.600 Top you do run is good boy? Oh boy? Everybody 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.199 knows two in the morning in the show sheet. Otherwise 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.680 he shows up with what ten to noon, starting to 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.680 look in there and see what's going on there. Let's 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.360 get to some of the injuries. And there was a 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.160 lot of them. So Ken Tamayana gave up ten runs well, 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.199 and then he exited. He's gonna gonna go the MRI 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.480 with the Yankees. The l knows. Excuse me, but the 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.440 almost terrible against the Yankees yesterday just a horrendous start 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.760 for him. Exited with an injury. Again, he has not 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.920 been healthy. We know that the Yankees Aaron Judge had 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.560 a problem sliding. He heard his hand, he told reports afterward. 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.439 He's all good. X rays. Also for our boy Josh Young, 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.280 who's been terrific for the Rangers, they came back negative, 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:21.800 so that's good. He had got hit by a pitch 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.120 and then Javier Baiez got hit in the hand with 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.520 a pitch, but it probably helped raise his batting average. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.240 All right, here's something to piss me off. Welsh pissed 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.680 me off the Atlanta Braves home run celebration with the 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.560 big hat. Everybody knows I love the big hat about 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.280 debro a big hat last year during football season because 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.680 I thought it was the greatest thing ever. And if 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.680 anybody could pull off the big hat, it was Derek Brown. 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.720 MLB is saying, no, you can't wear the big hat, 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.280 and I mean, why, what's the big deal. The guys 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.520 come in the dugout. You can wear a samurai helmet, 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.080 but you can't wear the big hat. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.240 I mean, I know, yeah, it was a new era thing. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.160 It wasn't the Braves decision. New era said we want 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:00.920 you to stop doing this, which is. 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.840 Crazy era, New era. You could suck it. This is fun, Okay, 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.680 it's fun. It's good for baseball. The big hat's hilarious. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.320 Or you know what, go make your own big hat. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.720 They probably can't because they probably have the intellectual property 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.920 to do it. But it pissed me right off. Just 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.040 piss me right off. Here's something amazing though. Ronald Aconia 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:23.240 recorded his MLB leading thirteen stone based Tuesday, the one 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.800 hundred and twentieth stone base of his career and his 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.800 five hundred and thirty eighth game A Coonie also was 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.160 one hundred and twenty three homers and is thus the 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.240 fastest player in Major League history to reach one hundred 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:37.160 and twenty homers and steals. Previously fastest was Eric Davis 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.520 in five hundred and fifty nine games. Eric Davis was 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.200 a great player. I met Eric Davis once when I 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.840 was in college in a hotel. They were playing the 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.160 Phillies and he was playing with the Orioles at the time, 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.040 and he was a heck of a nice guy. It's 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.920 funny like he actually initiated a conversation with me. I 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.280 was just some dude in the elevator was like, oh 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:55.240 my god's Eric Davis. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.960 Dude say that Cleric Davis works with the Reds out here. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.760 I see him all the time on the Nicest Guy. 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.640 One of the first moments I ever saw him was 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.200 during the AFL and we were there was a bunch 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.440 of us and Paul Sporr was there and we're like, hey, 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.680 look there's Eric Davis. And spor went over there to 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.720 try to get him an agreement to be an MLB 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.360 the show, to be one of the character cards in him. 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.560 He's like, you should do this. Eric Davis is a 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.160 very nice guy, very talkative, and he roams around in 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.240 a golf cart wherever he goes. I've seen him on 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.200 the Dodgers and the Reds on the backfields. 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:28.960 He's an interesting He was a great player. I mean, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.120 people forget him and Darryl Strawberry played on the same 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.360 high school team together. Did you imagine trying to play 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.800 that high school. Yeah, those two guys came up together 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.120 in south central Los Angeles. They they pushed. 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.600 The famous person to come out of your high school. 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.880 Uh, that's a good question, probably me, I think at 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:45.440 the end of the day. 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:50.080 Oh a little joke. Okay, what can I say now? 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:56.520 It just is Arthur Sakowski who played quarterback at Illinois. Okay, 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.920 but you know that didn't go very well. He played 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.200 a lot of other places schools too. He was the 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.720 guy in that famous ten overtimes a couple of years 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.960 ago where nobody could score them in Penn State game 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.760 and then eventually he got hurt in like the ninth 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:10.679 overtime or whatever. 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:13.800 This is going to be this, this question is going 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:15.560 to break laught too, by the way, because we all 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.840 have this type of stuff, because I mean. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.160 I said facetiously me, but I mean I don't know now. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:24.480 Now it might be I have two Mark Andrews tight 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:28.199 end with the Ravens. Or there's a guy. This is 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.840 a famous i TL thing. It's this. It's his actor 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.080 named Brent Bailey. You've never heard of him, but you've 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.919
