Either what was? 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.120 It there was a playoff football game last YEAR i 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.400 think where you had to have A peacock subscription. For 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.200 was it A chiefs game or. Something it didn't affect 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:32.880 me here In, toronto but in The, STATES i think 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.000 you guys all had to get a new subscription or. 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.000 Something it's like they make it so. HARD i, mean 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.440 baseball is the worst for sure in terms of like 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.760 growing the, game but they make it very hard for 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.520 the average fan to really even know what's going on 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.160 half the time with all the rules they. Change but 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:48.680 another THING i just wanted to point out. QUICKLY i 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:49.800 don't know if you saw. This there was A Mike 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.880 trout video. YESTERDAY i think it Was tops or somebody posted. 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.680 It he pulled his rookie. Card he was going through 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.040 the box with this. Kid it feels like we never 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.040 get those kind of moments for a guy Like Mike, 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.240 trout who should have been the guy that they've been 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.520 marketing the last decade. Plus and it just feels LIKE 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:04.760 i saw that video AND i was, like that's a 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.880 that's a great. Video why have we not seen more 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.920 of this kind Of Mike trout marketing content over the last. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.640 Decade it just all all. Around it goes to the 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.280 overall picture of they just do a bad job of 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:15.720 growing the. 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.440 Game, yeah one hundred percent. AGREE i, mean that's. It 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.000 like their hyper focus and leaning this all. In by the, 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.960 way THE mlb yesterday or it became, public there's an 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:30.400 article ON espn THAT mlb is proposing this six inning inning, 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.400 rule which it would force starting pitchers To, essentially it's 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.120 to kill, openers that's the. Idea it would be killing. 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:42.039 Openers put a you, know put a concerted focus back 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.440 on starting. Pitching let's make sure starting pitching is in 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.400 the best place it possibly can. Be it's it has 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.480 some fine. Caveats if you hit one hundred pitches and 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.480 you're not through, six you can get. Out if you 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.480 give up more than four earned, runs you can get. 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:56.560 Out if you get, hurt you can get. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:57.040 Out that's all. 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:02.719 Fine but to this, point like they are so in 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:07.000 the wrong. Space they're focused on all the wrong. Things 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.800 when we still have umpires who are absolute idiots and 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:13.320 don't know what. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:14.800 They're do is some are, great by the, way great. 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.480 JOBS i don't want anyone to lose your job, Anything 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.760 but how about they man the. Robots i'd rather those 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.320 guys man the robots because those guys don't know what they're. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:22.400 Doing the calls are still. 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.720 Bad they have not done the robot umps and they 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.000 don't want to market the game, properly and that's. 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:29.359 What they should. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.039 Do baseball is the worst at marketing their own, game 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.240 and all they want to do is make it more. 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.360 Inclusive so it's pretty stupid or whatever the word would. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:38.640 Be you, know they just put it on all those 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.840 streaming services AND i don't, know we literally weren't going 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.720 to talk about, that but it's like insanely dumb that 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.680 it's going, on and the impetus to it is that 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.960 rule change and then it Is Paul Skeans. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.640 Day everybody's very. Excited you. 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.960 Know we talked about, THIS i think earlier in the week. 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.520 Too i've been tracking BECAUSE i have A Jackson merrill 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.279 bet going. On i've been tracking The rookie of The. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.839 Year That rookie of The year has gone to even 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:06.360 odds in a week span minus forty five hundred this 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.520 day last week For Paul skans to Be rookie of 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.200 The year in THE. Nl it's moved all the way 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.919 to even money with What Jackson merrill has, done and 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.039 then Whatever Paul skeins does today will kind, of you, 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.000 know be a little bit of a telling piece of 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.760 like if he has a good, game his odds will 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.440 go back. Up if he has another bad, game it's 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.719 going to really, move which is kind of. Ironic the 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.760 other thing to circle back, with just real quick maybe 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.560 taking this To Paul. Skins you were ON itl with 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.159 me yesterday and we talked a little bit about, this 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.719 so we'll end it after, this BUT i was telling 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.279 you and if you have any take on this With Paul, 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.359 SKEANS i just worry if they were to implement this 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.960 type of rule that it could have an effect on 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.600 some of these rookies where teams would maybe be a 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.719 little less likely to want to throw these rookie pitchers 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.960 out there if they would be forced to either go. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.040 One hundred or six. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.400 INNINGS i, mean look At Jared jones earlier in the 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.560 year they pull him after five and fifty seven, Pitches, 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.000 LIKE i think this would have a negative effect on 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:06.080 young pitching in real, baseball but obviously for. Fantasy if 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:07.919 they were to implement something like, that and maybe a 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:08.320 guy Like. 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.600 SCHEMES i think it's really bad all the way. Around 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.720 and we mentioned this yesterday AND i listened to a 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.000 couple of. Podcasts i'm a complete podcast. Addict so a 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.240 lot of people are talking about, it and a lot 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.680 of people are, saying why not? Five why not five? 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.520 Innings if they're gonna make this kind of, limit it 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.200 would line up with a. Win six is really pushing. 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.360 It AND i heard some stat that was, LIKE i don't, 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.240 know roughly forty percent of starts this year wouldn't have 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.000 reached that. Threshold so we're asking guys to do something 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.080 that they're not doing right, now which in a year 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.880 where everybody's getting hurt to this, degree there are some 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.480 takes that maybe it would limit injuries because guys would 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.520 have to not go full max effort in an effort 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.840 to last, longer because you can't go full on one 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.200 hundred percent if you're expected to throw six plus. Innings 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.360 but guys are gonna throw max. Effort that's what pitchers. 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:54.800 Do you're not gonna be able to, say all, right 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.680 you're gonna go eighty percent. Today it's just not what 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.760 these guys are programmed to. DO i just don't see 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.160 this being a positive really from any, standpoint and the 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.680 rookie prospect thing, like these guys are not getting called 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.000 up and throw at six innings, consistently it's, three four and, 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.480 five and that's something that we're gonna not really be 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.840 seeing going. Forward Garrett crochet would be screwed under these new. Rules. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.120 Yeah, well a bigger point here, is like What finway, 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:17.880 said there's no way the player union will agree to. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.200 IT i completely. Agree if they, did it would be. 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.840 Five but, again it's just more of a hyper focus 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.280 on the things that are not important in baseball when 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.280 a lot of you will not be able to See 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.520 Paul skeins And Logan gilbert a pitch unless you pirate. 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.040 It and that's what people are gonna. Do and by the, 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.360 way whips not log in sharing the cracking down on that, 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:38.439 stuff not giving you my. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.480 Log in into the chat for everybody not gonna do. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:42.120 It, yeah, yeah. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.400 Exactly all, right let's get into some other. Stuff speaking 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.120 of pitching, Performances Bryce miller yesterday. 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.600 Seven, innings struck out. Nine he was a. 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.559 Strikeout leader for the. Day yesterday also gave up only two. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.360 Hits wanted to point it out and get your take 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.880 on him as, well because that's back to back zero 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.199 earn run six plus inning, outings and over his last 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.400 seven games he has gone six, innings so he would 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.160 work for qualify for this new rule in six of seven. 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:15.439 Games he also has given up zero earned runs four times. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:15.840 Over those last. 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.959 Seven, joe so thoughts On Bryce, miller and he's been 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.320 tinkering with pitches all year. Long he has been an 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:23.440 absolute stud Since. 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.320 July, YEAH i think he kind of gets left behind 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.920 just because of the strength of The mariners pitching as a, 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.480 Whole Kirby Gilbert, castillo who he might be the fifth 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.720 best pitcher In, seattle and he's still AN ace level. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.959 Pitcher three twenty NINE era for the season is, great 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.880 a whip of one on the dot nearly eighteen percent 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.320 strikeout minus. Walk he's really really good pitching in a 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.439 maybe the best part that he could be pitching in 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.400 considering the suppression of home runs in the way that 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.560 it boosts. STRIKEOUTS i think that he's somebody that's always 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.400 going to kind of just fall below the radar because 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.160 of the amount of talent that there is there In. 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.040 Seattle but you, know he's about as good as any 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.120 of them this. Year, really you. 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.000 Know the funny thing two is one THING i wish 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.959 we could get On savant at some, point would be 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:09.560 like in season pitch change to be tracked here Because 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.480 i'm trying to remember what it. WAS i think he 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:17.120 started throwing the knuckle curve a little bit recently and 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.360 maybe the, cutter because you see like a three percent 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.760 usage on the knuckle curve on the. Season BUT i 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.040 think that was more of like a new. Thing and 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.000 he implemented more sinker this. Year because he was throwing 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.080 a sinker seven percent of the, time it's gone to 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.000 eighteen percent of the, time AND i think that has 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.520 made That the split finger was the other, thing the 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.840 split finger, mafia As Brian wu told, Me he's added 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:43.319 that the fastball to sinker to then split finger has 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.840 made him just more efficient twenty eight point five percent 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.920 with rate on his split finger so, far but he 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.800 is utilizing seven different pitches at least one percent or 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.200 more of the. Time but he's added during the. Season 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.240 he really is sneaky and probably the least talked about 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.680 of that rotation because It's Luis castillo. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:03.320 And Logan gilbert and. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.480 Whatnot and by the, way chat's going nuts. Here they 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.560 got they're doing my log in for For APPLE tv. 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:16.000 Login The welsh password Puppet joe for pres definitely wouldn't 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:20.400 be Puppet joe for Puppet joe FOR prez would not 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.920 be not be it at. All it wouldn't have anything 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.920 to do With. JOE i promise you'd probably be like 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.319 SOME X men. Thing Brayce miller top. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:31.960 Thirty next. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.520 Year, yeah my brain when you were staying, THAT i 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.360 think twenty five is when my brain initially, Went we're 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.520 we're in the same, ballpark top twenty, five top. Thirty 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.559 if he finished top twenty or even, HIGHER i wouldn't be, 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.360 Surprised but he'll be drafted in like the twenty five 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:43.600 to thirty, RANGE i, think. 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:44.640 Yeah something like. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.920 That west And wilson yesterday hit for the, cycle going 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.760 four for. Five he had a solo, homer, obviously but 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:52.920 the homer was in. THERE i think he had a 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.760 double late that ended up doing. That west And wilson 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.840 we were talking off air before we started this. Up 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.199 he's kind of a. TRIP i believe he was one 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.120 of those guys that was out here in THE afl 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.600 some years. BACK i just don't, remember but you know 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.240 he's put up some minor, league big minor league, seasons 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.720 but it's because he's twenty. Nine you, know he's one 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.040 of those. Dudes he's a quad. AL i just hate 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.280 to say. It he has been a quad a player 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.480 the entire. Year so far this season, though he is 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.880 up three forty. TWO i mean it's like forty eight. 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.839 Bats but you, know he's doing very. Well he, said 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.800 a whole bunch of homers and then he just hit 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.520 for the cycle this. Year is there anything for you 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:29.120 On Weston? 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.640 Wilson maybe in a really deep, league like he went 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:34.880 thirty thirty in the miners last year in one hundred 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.640 and twenty five, games which is pretty. Interesting good played, 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.959 skills doesn't strike out too. Much he's had some pretty 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.200 good walk. Rates not really this, year but throughout the 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.360 minor leagues he's been pretty good in that. Regard fifteen team, 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.199 league no, problem no problem at, all BUT i don't 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:50.679 think in shallower format's probably not so. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:55.800 Much all, Right yesterday we finally got Back Justin verlander 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.319 in a rehab, start which is leading to us getting 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.880 him back with look like next. Week struck out five 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.680 but was charged with two, runs one earned over four 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.000 innings On. Thursday this was in that double a. Start 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.080 looking like he's going to get. BACK i think would 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:14.720 be lineup Like Tuesday. Wednesday are you comfortable Throwing Justin 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.480 vernlander back out right out the? Shoot because you know, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.600 what This astros team has been red. Hot Spencer arraghetti 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.280 is pitching today as we're we'recording, this and he has 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.360 been strikeout. Monster it's actually a really good matchup two 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.160 to see if he's going to continue with? This are 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.280 you gonna be comfortable With verlander right when he gets? 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.200 Back SO i don't think we have a confirmed day, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.440 necessarily but next week It's boston And baltimore for The, 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:43.560 astros not an easy landing. SPOT i think probably you 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.680 do throw him out, there BUT i THINK i would 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.760 be a little more cautious depending on your, Situation like 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.920 if you're pitching has been so so good this year 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.559 and you don't need to take a, chance then keep 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.240 him on the bench. There if you're in a spot 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.800 where you need to be catching up in terms of, 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.000 volume you need some, wins you need strikeouts in your 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:58.719 rot o, leagues THEN i would do. It but he's 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.839 not somebody THAT i would start in all four. MATCH 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.400 i think there's still a little bit of trepidation there 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:04.040 on my behalf With. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.920 VERLANDER i think the best way to say, it it 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.280 might have been you Or bubba. Recently but it's, like 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.720 if you are really hugging some ratios and you don't want, 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.640 to everybody plays it, Different like in points, leagues you're 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.880 just like throwing dudes out there and you're accruing points and. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.200 Stuff and in that, CASE i wouldn't really, bother but you, 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.960 know if you were really hugging. 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:22.960 Some of those. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.560 Racials there's some playoffs that start next. WEEK i don't 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.880 think i'd be comfortable With verlander off that. SHOOT i 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:29.600 want to see what it looks like once he gets. 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:29.880 Back. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.600 Though the positive would be like The astros and you, 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.440 know their offensive SUPPORT i think works really well for. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.480 Him but those matchups are kind of, tough SO i 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:41.360 would probably be. CAUTIOUS i would cautiously approach starting him 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.440 to whatever your own certain. Scenario is a couple offensive 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.600 highlights from. Yesterday Gunner henderson two for four with a 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.840 two run. Homer think that was number thirty. One Will 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:53.880 you're a Bray you two for three with a. Solo, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.600 homer by the, way just want to point out what 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.640 an awesome rookie year he has. Had he's closing in 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.560 on like twenty and he's been a Offensive rookie of 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.520 The year candidate this entire. Time and speaking of, That 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.840 Jackson Churio homard going two for four closing in on 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.520 a twenty twenty, Season AND i just wanted to get 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.920 any thoughts AS i really do Think jackson A Jackson. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.200 HOLLID i Think Jackson churio is going to line up 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.440 for a twenty twenty. Season do you Think churio will 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.640 be a top fifty drafted player next? 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.520 Season, YEAH i think he will. BE i think that 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.800 he probably should. Be what he's done at twenty years. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.360 Old he hasn't been hurting you, anywhere like he's been 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.640 an asset in all five. Categories he hasn't been overmatched 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.000 at the, plate and, honestly like maybe it's a little 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.280 bit too late for him to come. On but we 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.480 talk a lot About Jackson merrill in This rookie of 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.000 The year. Conversation is it crazy to think that a 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.520 stupid Hot september could Put churio and make it kind 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.040 of a three man race there or is that is 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:50.280 it a little bit too late at this point you, 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:51.320 THINK i think. 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:51.760 It's a little too. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:56.400 Late but If Paul skeins can go from minus forty 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.600 five hundred to essentially even money in a one week, 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.520 span wouldn't say it's, impossible you, know if The brewers catch. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.320 ON i mean the thing that Both cheerio And meryll 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.120 have going for them as they're playing every single, day 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.520 their teams are in contention where that's not the case 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.240 really For Paul, skins and that team could shut him 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.640 down at any, point AND i think that's you, know 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.280 that kind of makes it a big. Question SO i 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.400 would say it could. HAPPEN i THINK i Think merrill 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.960 is the guy though in his consistency in the, year 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.600 his defensive, PROWESS i think that's what holds him. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.560 Up but you, know any anything can. HAPPEN i would love. 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.560 BOTH i have bets on both of, them so they 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:39.480 would definitely cash out top forty next. Year Playing Little 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.440 chicken with you can we Get cheerio at top, forty. 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.880 So that puts him in the third round of a fifteen. Teamer, 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.680 YEAH i think IT'S i think it's gonna. HAPPEN i 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:49.120 think it will. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.480 HAPPEN i think that's the. RANGE i think that's the 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:52.160 range he's going to. 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.200 GO i got one for you real, Quick cheurio Or 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:54.960 james would next? 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:59.080 Year, OH i would Go. 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:04.800 CHEERIO i do Think James, wood with all the adjustments 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.760 into a new, year could be. Louder BUT i Think 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.880 i'll go With cheerio BECAUSE i think he's the type 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.920 of guy that might steal more. Bases you might get 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:14.919 even more bases in, There So i'll go With. 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:16.000 Cheo do you Go cherio? 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.480 TOO i THINK i. WOULD i think they're going to 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.240 be right around each other IN. ADP i Think wood's 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:20.840 probably going to get into that third. ROUND i Mean 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.040 ellie was into the second, Round abrams was third fourth. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.520 ROUND i Think wood's going to be right in that same. Territory, 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:27.320 Yeah lee said would Over. 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:27.879 Cheerio they. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.560 See that's the problem is Like James wood could rattle 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:34.960 off thirty five homers next year and keep stealing RUSSO jj, 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.440 said would will do. IT i, MEAN i don't disagree 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.439 That James wood won't develop next. Year it's just you 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.640 know what we're seeing With, cheerio like really low strikeout 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.480 rates and stuff like. That he's going to hit higher 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.040 in the. LINEUP i don't. Know it's kind of tough 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.520 speaking of we're talking, rookies big. Rookie lookie, here The 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.720 Detroit tigers are calling up two prospects. Today they're calling 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.280 Up Jace young and they're calling Up Trey. Sweeney Tray 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:01.160
