1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: What's up, friends, and welcome into leading off right here

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Pros MLB. I am Chris Welsh. That is

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Joe Rico. Joe Piezapia is out and welcome in two

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: the stupidest holiday in all of the land, nothing dumber

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: on the planet, our peak idiocy. April first. It is

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: new month, this is my birthday month. That's awesome, but

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: the dumbest day out there where everybody wants to trick you.

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: I could have come on today and been like, hey, everybody,

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: big announcement, Joe Piezapia, he won't be on the show anymore.

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: April ful, Nope, dumbest holiday of all time. But we

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: do have my dear friend Joe Rico, who's filling in

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: because Joe Piezapia is flying in the sky. He's probably

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: dealing with some super hilarious air pril You know what

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: would be great airports doing April first stuff after everything

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: they've been gone through. What's up, a Rico?

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: I kind of agree with you, buddy. I'm not a

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: huge fan.

18
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: I mean, we could have probably messed with the people

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: today and said Joe Pi's Apia.

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: Finally we fired him. He's gone. You're not gonna be back.

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 3: We could have probably got one over on the people.

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 3: Those ones don't really work out, you know. Justin Mason

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: text me this morning that he told his kid there

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: was no school today and got one over on his kids.

25
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: That's like, that mean, really really funny.

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: But also if I was ten years old and my

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: dad came in and said there's no school and then

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: he told me there is school, I probably would have

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: been pretty annoyed. But I think I agree that the

30
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: holiday is kind of a little bit overplayed at this point.

31
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it's my old I was talking to you guys

32
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: off air. Maybe it's my like most curmudgeon like getting

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: older type of thing. But just I wake up. I

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: literally woke up and I was like, ugh, like, just

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: here we go. We're gonna get all the stupid stuff,

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: all the morons with all the things. They're never funny,

37
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: they're never good. Even that one with Justin, that's just mean,

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: that's my poor kids, Like, oh my god, it would

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: be a great day and wamp note just kidding, you're dumb,

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: Like I absolutely hated, But you know what, that's just

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: me being curmudgeon. We cannot curmudgeon it. When we talk

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: about baseball, but we ain't falling for it, so don't

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: even try it. No April Fool stuff happening here, just

44
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: at least as promised always, it is a Welsh and

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Joe show, you know, for better for worse. Unless I'm

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: not here, you get the Joe's and Joe's but welcome in.

47

Speaker 1: Love to have you guys. We got lots of cover today.

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: We've got some best bets coming up later. We got

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: some home run calls, and we got a lot to

50
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: break down. If you guys are watching live or if

61
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: the stuff things in here in a little bit now.

62
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: Joe Rico an awesome April Fools are hilarious April fools. Actually,

63
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I would have laughed at this. One would have been

64
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: if Yahoo would have tweeted out that they finally got

65
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: sho Heo Tani as one player instead of two, that

66
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: would have been I would have laughed with my teeth

67
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: out and big dumb, stupid idiot I would be. But

68
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: they didn't, and the sho Heo Tani pitcher version did

69
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: go last night only on Yahoo. Six innings, one hit,

70
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: three walks, six strikeouts. I know it's not like this

71
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: big crazy thing to talk about, but it was his

72
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: first pitching performance of the year. He was also hitting.

73
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: Any thoughts after seeing this, thinking about six man rotations,

74
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: just you know, it's kind of apropos We talk about

75
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: sho Heo Tani at the top of the show after

76
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: a start.

77
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think there's anything massive to really take

78
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: away here. If you have Otani as the Otani pitcher

79
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: on Yahoo, that's obviously really nice and wonky saying CBS

80
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: has split him up to a lot of the formats

81
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: are just one Otani and you have to choose one

82
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: or the other. So I don't know how often you

83
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: are going to be using him as a pitcher. But

84
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: if it gets to a point where a little bit

85
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: later in the season, maybe a couple of your pitchers

86
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: get hurt or you're just having a bit of a

87
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: rough go with your streamers, you can move Otani into

88
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: that pitching spot periodically, and I think that that is

89
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: a viable strategy. Just wouldn't do it too too often.

90
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: And of course you're never going to get those two

91
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: start matchups. But next time out he will get the

92
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: Jays and after that it'll be the Mets. So a

93
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: couple of relatively tough challenges coming up for show.

94
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Hey, I think the CBS one is you actually get

95
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: the choice because I play in the CBS League. I

96
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: played in Scott White's longtime Dynasty League. It's huge, and

97
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: I have Showho Tani and he's one player, but I

98
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: can put him where I want. Obviously it's weekly lineups,

99
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: but I think CBS gives you the option to go

100
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: and put him at either one. I'm just poking fun

101
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: at the whole thing. Just I thought that was a

102
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: good transition of talking about show Hayo Tani, and the

103
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: greatest aprifools would be he would be one player, but

104
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: Atani goes out but man, that is not the fun

105
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: and excitement. What is this one? A good April Fools

106
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: would be sleeper releasing Fantasy Baseball on their platform. Yeah,

107
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: I was thought when they popped up on social like

108
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: a year ago, it was like, well, duh, the platform's

109
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: got to be happening. It's still not. I heard it's

110
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: a couple of years away. Maybe next year we'll all

111
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: be here for it. And guess what, Fantasy pros right

112
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: here will have you all hooked up for all your

113
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: drafts and it will be synced and it'll be glorious.

114
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: So make sure you're rocking here more like. The theme

115
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: of the beginning of the season has been rookies, impressive

116
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: rookie performances. Obviously the beginning of the year, the opening

117
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: day we had all of these just big time rookies dominating. Well,

118
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm sad I miss this. Going to Diamondbacks Opening Day

119
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: was great. But the next day we get a new

120
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: rookie come into town, Jose Fernandez with the Diamondbacks, which

121
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: we had a very hilarious snafu in art earlier today

122
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: with the great Jose Fernandez. This version of Jose Fernandez,

123
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: the hitter with the Diamondbacks, gets called up yesterday, gets

124
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: his first game in absolutely balls out man. He goes

125
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: three for four, two homers, boat homers with ex velocities

126
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: over one hundred. Really fascinating in here. He had three

127
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: swings Jose Fernandez did that reached the seventy eight mile

128
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: per hour marker. That's an elite territory, that's the O'Neal

129
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: cruise range. He settled in at seventy five point eight

130
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: off of his first start. And I was sitting there

131
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: staring because I saw Jose Fernandez in camp, you know,

132
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: big tall, lean guy, kind of hard to put your

133
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: finger on, you know, exactly if you were trying to

134
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: get a comp the swing as well. And someone said

135
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: it just absolutely perfectly last night, and I wish I

136
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: had said it Carlos Korea. And then as soon as

137
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: I went and I just looked at those home run swings,

138
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, you're looking at it

139
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: identical Carlos carea kind of just prototype as far as

140
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: the hit goes. But curious your take on it. Is

141
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: a new rookie in town, big huge debut, big good

142
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: hard hit numbers, great bat speed. It's got people wanting

143
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: Nolan Aernauto to move over to first to get Carlos

144
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: Santana out of there. But what do you think about Jose?

145
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't actually hate that you're laughing about that. Yeah,

146
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: get the hell Aeronauto over there. Carlos Santana can't hit

147
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: one seventy and sit around. But what do you think

148
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: about Jose Fernandez? Is it going to be someone you're

149
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: going to be bidding on on your NFBC in FBC

150
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: sites if you can figure out you know where things are.

151
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I can figure out their upgrade, Thanks guys

152
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: for that one. I'm just laughing at moving Nolan Aeronaudo

153
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: off of third base. That would be diabolical. One of

154
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: the best third basement in the league. I know he's

155
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: a little bit older than he used to be, Still

156
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: great third basement Jose Fernandez. For me, this is classic

157
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: early season stuff. I think that there's potential for him

158
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: to be an alright, deeper league player. But I got

159
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: some questions this morning that was like Jack Haglio and

160
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: a Fernandez rest of season and top one hundred, top

161
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty type of guys, And I think

162
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves. So in

163
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 3: Double A last year, he was about an average player.

164
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: He had a ninety eight WRC plus. He had a

165
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: seven to seventy five ops, seventeen homers, twelve steals. Alright,

166
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: plate discipline. I think that there is potentially.

167
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: What do you keep saying? It sounds like you're saying,

168
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: alt right, what are you talking about? All right?

169
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: All right, No, not talking about No.

170
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: No, I just want you to clarify that. I keep

171
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: hearing you do that, and I'm just like, what does

172
00:07:59,680 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: he know?

173
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no no. People who know me

174
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: know that would not be me.

175
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm just saying.

176
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: No, I'm just saying I'm not sure what word they're

177
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: got lost in translation. But he was all right, I

178
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: think this is what I was.

179
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a Canadian coming out of you. It's not

180
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: like you're getting very political.

181
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: It was a boot all right.

182
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: In Double A last year, he was nothing that was

183
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: jumping off the page at you, though. He was about

184
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 3: a league average bat in Double A. He played one

185
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: game at Triple A this year. This doesn't seem like

186
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: a situation where they are just going to keep him

187
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: up for the entirety of the season. I think that

188
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: Fernandez probably does some back and forth up and down

189
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: from the bigs in the and Triple A this year.

190
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: If I'm in a fifteen team mixed league, I can

191
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: understand putting a couple of dollars on him, But I

192
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: think the majority of our audience is playing twelve team YAHOO,

193
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: ten team, twelve team ESPN leagues. Three outfielders, no corner

194
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: and middle. I don't think there's room for him on

195
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 3: most standard sized rosters.

196
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Is interesting take. I don't necessarily disagree with this life

197
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: with five. Yeah, Fernandez doing his best in Paris impression, Yeah, maybe.

198
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean here's what I would say. I would say

199
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: some of the like baseline things with Jose Fernandez is

200
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: very exciting. You love to see the bat speed. There's

201
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: good plate discipline he's getting, I mean, outside of just

202
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: the obvious batspeed, he is getting to the ball and

203
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: making really solid contact. Those things are great. But will

204
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks give him the opportunity to kind of keep

205
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: this going? That's where I think you're alluding to, and

206
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: I would agree, like, probably not. You're not gonna cut

207
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: bait on Carlos Santana after two weeks moving Nolan Aeronaudo

208
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: off would take this, you know this grandiose like we've

209
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: designated Carlos Santana, We're gonna move him there. And I

210
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: think Jose Fernandez defense is fine. I just don't know

211
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: if the opportunities are really going to be there, and

212
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: it could be super util So you know, I think

213
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: we hang out, we chill, we don't make any big bids.

214
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: Maybe watch the rest of the week. I do think

215
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: it's very exciting. And if you've got you know, like

216
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: stash leagues, I bet there's a lot of like dynasty

217
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: leagues out there that just didn't have him, didn't even

218
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: have Jose Fernandez in the of anybody holding onto them.

219
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you go and you want to pick him up,

220
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: so you know, just in case things do work or

221
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity has been given. You don't know if injuries

222
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: happen or whatnot. But I would say my big takeaway

223
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: is like, very impressive debut. That was where I stood

224
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: with it. A couple other big debuts for the season,

225
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: and these were two more rookies. We're not rookie looking

226
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: it here, because I think these are important topics. Andrew

227
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: Painter and this is one I've been super defensive about,

228
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: and I feel like you and I have been on

229
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: the negative side, and maybe I'm okay, no, maybe not.

230
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: It's other. Definitely, a lot of prospect people have been

231
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: out on Andrew Painter, and I've just kind of he'd

232
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: been in a blindly state of just saying, hey, listen,

233
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: I've watched Andrew Painter so much. He's been coming back

234
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: from so much miss time. Like I'm just not gonna

235
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: say he's washed, and I think he's gonna be way

236
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: better than what some of the underlying stuff was telling us.

237
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: And in that debut, at least it was five and

238
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: one third, he gave up four hits, earn run a walk,

239
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: He had eight strikeouts, which was super super impressive. It

240
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: was also looking when you look at a lot of

241
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: these pictures, you see so many guys that when you

242
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: get to other handed pitchers, you know, it's like they

243
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: only throw two pitches to right or you know, three

244
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: pitches to left. Was very impressed that Andrew Painter was

245
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: able to come out throw his fastball, slider, and curveball

246
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: all at twenty plus percentage usage against both righty's and lefties.

247
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: Or I guess no, I was using that wrong. He

248
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: used his sinker sweeper over twenty percent while doing double

249
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: digits on his fastball slider against righty's, and then he

250
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: went double digit percent on four pitches against lefties. My

251
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: main point always has been like, this is a dude

252
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: who has got a multi piece arsenal, and he used

253
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: it in this one. He got whiffs, he you know,

254
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: kind of kept in the zone, he was getting strikes.

255
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 1: I thought it was a super impressive outing, and I

256
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: think a Doulas Garcia through a translator last night, had

257
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: said like they thought he was a star. So I

258
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: think it is a great first out. And this is

259
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: the type of thing that keeps Andrew Painter in the rotation,

260
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: especially over Taiwan Walker, even when Zach Wheeler comes back.

261
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: But what say you, Yeah, I really like him. I

262
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: like him Coming into the year. I was a little

263
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: bit nervous just because the way that the last year

264
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: or so had went for him. He didn't seem like

265
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 3: that same guy that he was pre surgery. But you

266
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: do need to give guys a little bit of time

267
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: to rebound. He's still just twenty two years old. A

268
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: couple of things from the start last night the lineup

269
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 3: that he was facing. The Nationals lineup was really, really,

270
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: really left handed heavy, So I want to see how

271
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: he performs against more of a little bit of a

272
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: neutral lineup next time around. It was like seven lefties

273
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 3: in the lineup. Don't know how much that will impact him,

274
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: Just something to make note of going forward if it's

275
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: a very righty heavy lineup he faces next time. Just

276
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: would like to monitor if there's any differences there. But

277
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 3: Andrew Painter is a guy a couple of years ago

278
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 3: that I don't know if he was the number one

279
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: pitching prospect in baseball, but he was like a top

280
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: three pitching prospect in baseball, And over the course of

281
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: the year, I think we'll see him rebound to something

282
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: similar to what he was in twenty twenty two. Maybe

283
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: he won't be a sub two eer type of guy,

284
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: but I think he can be living in the mid

285
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: threes giving you a boatload of strikeouts. One of our

286
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: bold prediction shows Jeff Erickson had Andrew Painter going for

287
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: I think it was one hundred and eighty strikeouts this year,

288
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy strikeouts. I could see it happening

289
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: if he stays in that rotation all year, and you know,

290
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: with Zach Wheeler's health kind of up in the air,

291
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: with Taiwan Walker being the other guy in that mix,

292
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: I could see Painter making at least twenty five starts

293
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: this year.

294
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think he's a great bet. As a twenty

295
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: year old, he was like ready to come up into

296
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: the rotation. Then he got hurt, missed a couple of years.

297
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: He's just he can throw strikes. He's got a multitude

298
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: of pitches. It's a solid fastball, solid secondaries. Maybe he

299
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: is not like a stuff plus monster, but he's a

300
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: guy that I think is just gonna have like a

301
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: mid three era with a bunch of strikeouts, and we're

302
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: gonna be talking a ton about next year. One more

303
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: on the rookie side is the other guy that a

304
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: lot of us liked, Bubba Chandler. Bubba Chandler had a

305
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: weird outing. He went four and one third, He struck

306
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: out six, but he walks six. Did he also give

307
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: up no hits in that time too? This is how

308
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: I wrote it. I don't know if I wrote it.

309
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: That's crazy no hits, nohe and runs six walks six

310
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: strike And I did not know this, and I almost

311
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: thought this was a troll thing. Did you know this

312
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: account called you know how they have the score Gami?

313
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: It's pitcher Gomi. This dude posted, how is this possible

314
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: of like eighty thousand plus pitching lines or whatever ridiculous number.

315
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: Apparently there were like three lines just last night that

316
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: had never happened in the history of baseball. I kind

317
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: of refuse to believe it. This is one that I

318
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: actually do believe that they said this line had never

319
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: happened in the history of baseball before Pitcher going four

320
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: and one third with no hits, no walks, six or

321
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: nowhere and runs, six walks, six strikeouts for Bubba Chandler.

322
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: Bubba Chandler really struggled with getting to the zone. The

323
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: zone percentage was, you know, just pretty low overall. I

324
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: think he his curveball had a fifty percent zone rate,

325
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: but he didn't you know, he didn't. I don't think

326
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: he threw it a ton. Everything else was like under

327
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: forty percent or thirty eight percent, to be honest with you,

328
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: So the whiff rates, you know, one hundred percent, weren't there.

329
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: He obviously touches a big high fastball. He lost his

330
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: Velo in the fifth inning. He was sitting ninety nine

331
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: through four innings. He dropped down to ninety seven in

332
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: the fifth. Same thing happened with his change up. He's

333
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: throwing this power change up at ninety three ninety four

334
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: miles an hour and it dropped two miles. So all

335
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: of that aside, just giving you a little bit of breakdown.

336
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: What's your take on Bubba Chandler. He had solid command

337
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: in his debuts last year. He had a three percent

338
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: walk rate, but that wasn't representative of who he was

339
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: in the miners. This is a little bit what we

340
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: saw in the miners, little bit of walk problems, huge

341
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: power fastball. To me, it is very Dylan a Lah

342
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: Dylan Cees in the early years where you could have

343
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: those type of outings. But what do you think about Bubba?

344
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: Who are you going to trust and who do you

345
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: like more? Bubba or Andrew Painter right now?

346
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: Ooh, I think it's still probably Bubba. But that was

347
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: a really worrying start for him. The command is not good,

348
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: and I think last year we kind of got fooled

349
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: by the sample size in the big leagues. It was

350
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: thirty one innings and he only walked was it four

351
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: batters in those thirty one innings. He walked six of

352
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: them in four innings last night. But this is, to

353
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: your point, kind of who he was throughout his time

354
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: in the minors. There were many times where he posted

355
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: a double digit walk rate, and that's going to be

356
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 3: something that, at least the time being, is a part

357
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: of his game. Maybe he can shave the walks down

358
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: over the course of his career, but for now he

359
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: is going to be living in those double digit range,

360
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: especially with the strike rate. It was fifty three percent

361
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: strike rate. Like the whiffs are phenomenal, and I think

362
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: that he is a guy on any given night he'd

363
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: give you ten strikeouts or the potential for ten strikeouts.

364
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: But that command paired with not great team contexts. More

365
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: I think about it, I guess I'd be all right

366
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: going with Painter. If you're in a trading league and

367
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: you wanted to trade Bubba Chandler, I think you could

368
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: maybe get something else back with Painter, just because there

369
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: was such a disparity in their price, even just in

370
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: drafts a week ago. So I think if you're trading Bubba,

371
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: I'd want to get something else back. But this is

372
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: a little bit of a concern. This is not what

373
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: you want to see that that account though that's a picture.

374
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: GOMMI thing is pretty funny. At first, I thought it

375
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: was really gimmicky and I was going to do like

376
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: old man yelling a cloud thing.

377
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: But it's kind of funny.

378
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw the Tomayuki Sagano one

379
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: from the other night, but four and two thirds, two walks,

380
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: so it was a pretty pedestrian line.

381
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: It never happened before either.

382
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: That's what I gotta be honest with you. I kind

383
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: of just don't believe it. Like they'll post lines and

384
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's noe you're telling me in the history

385
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: of baseball. This never happened before. The paint the Bubba one,

386
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: I get, but there's like weird lines where it's like

387
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: four and one third, three earned runs, two hits, three walks,

388
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: four straight, you know, and like that's never happened before.

389
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know what I think it is

390
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 3: two because for most of history and Sagano's line was

391
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 3: four and two thirds two hits, one earned run, two walks,

392
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: and four strikeouts. Okay, that seems like it happens once

393
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: a day. But for the majority of the history of baseball,

394
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: if you've thrown four and two thirds and only allowed

395
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: one run, you just kept pitching. So I guess it's

396
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: more of a modern type of stat line. Less than

397
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 3: five innings, only one run, and you're already pulled from

398
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 3: the game. But I don't know what to make of

399
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: this account. I feel like the ninety nine percent of

400
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: these posts are gonna be this is not unique, this

401
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: is not unique. And then once in every you know,

402
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: maybe two months, we'll get one like that.

403
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: But it's just funny. We got a couple on opening

404
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 2: week crazy.

405
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: Uh by the way, I forgot we've got early games

406
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: going on. As we're recording the show, as I say,

407
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, ONEO Cruz is a player that maybe not

408
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: maybe not, you know, long for the Pirates and whatever,

409
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: just blasts the three run homer just you know, going

410
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: out yesterday. Can't play defense worth a lick, but he's

411
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: out there blasting bombs. And if you were dealing with

412
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: early games and the early games maybe messing up your chi, well,

424
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: We had a banged up starters duel happened. Two guys

425
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: that I think for better for worse, people wanted to

426
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: draft in some capacity both. I think if you would

427
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: have asked about a month ago, would these guys be

428
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: pitching before April everybody, it would have been like eighty percent.

429
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: No.

430
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: We had Brandon Woodriff versus Shae McClanahan, Shane o' mack

431
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: and some interesting lines. Woodriff five innings, four hits, two

432
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: and run, six strikeouts, Pretty sure that happened before. And

433
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: Shae McClanahan four and two thirds gave up only two

434
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: hits twour and runs, walk three, four strikeouts, and probably

435
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: most of note for him, he was averaging ninety five

436
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: ninety five and a half down about a mile and

437
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: a half per hour overall. But he did hit I

438
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: believe right under ninety seven or right around ninety seven,

439
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: and it's a pretty low contact against numbers. He wasn't

440
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: like super excited about it, But shapes are looking better.

441
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Woodriff, Shane McClanahan, And which outing were you more

442
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: encouraged by.

443
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: It would have to be Woodroff.

444
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 3: McClanahan there worried me, especially as to start dragged on.

445
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: I forget which inning it was. It was one inning

446
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 3: in particular that was really bad for him. But I

447
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: don't know, like mcclanahan's a guy I didn't draft it

448
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: all this year.

449
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm just worried off.

450
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: Of two major surgeries if he's ever gonna look the same,

451
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: and seeing seven whiffs over the course of the start

452
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: over eighty pitches, only one of them came on his fastball.

453
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit concerned about mclan I mean, I'm

454
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 3: concerned about both of them. I think both of them

455
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 3: are potential taking time bobs. But Woodruff gave you the

456
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 3: better line. You know, the swinging strike rate was better.

457
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 3: But I think with both of them, I worry about

458
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 3: how many innings are going to get this season as

459
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 3: a whole, especially with McClanahan. Like, if there's anybody who

460
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 3: buys into McClanahan being who he was before, I'd be

461
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: looking to sell to that guy.

462
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: So, like me Nick Pollock, Wonky Penguin.

463
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: You guys think he could be like a cy young

464
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: winner again at some point in his career, Like you

465
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: think he still has those that kind of ceiling.

466
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that exists this year, Like there's

467
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: a path where this year I think he can get

468
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: back to being a top twenty ish pitcher future years.

469
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: If you're talking dynasty, can he get back to that?

470
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: Sure?

471
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: I think so are you? Are we like more encouraged

472
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: by it right now? I don't know if we're like

473
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: more encouraged by it just because, like you said before,

474
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: we've got you know, we got some downtick in Vilo.

475
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean from the the actual number here is twenty

476
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: twenty three, which is the last you know, major league stats,

477
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: we're getting ninety six point eight on the fastball, ninety

478
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: five point four in the fastball here it's down a

479
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: little bit of spin and it didn't get you know,

480
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: the big whiff numbers. But you go and look and

481
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: you see the change up. The change up didn't get

482
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: the whiffs as well. But I think that's a little

483
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: bit of a product of the fastball. I think he's

484
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: still working back. So I guess to answer your I'm

485
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: kind of beating around the question, like I think there's

486
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: a path where we can get back to him being

487
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: a really really good pitcher Cy Young. I think it's

488
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: impossible when Turik Skuble and Paul Skeens are in the

489
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: divisions to do that. He's not at that level, but

490
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: he was being drafted so low after that outing. I

491
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody's encouraged. Could you get you know,

492
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: could you get Sean McClanahan for a ham sandwich maybe?

493
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's worthwhile. Like what do you think

494
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: it cost if you have Shane McClanahan, What do you

495
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: really need back for your McClanahan.

496
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying if somebody out there thinks that

497
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 3: McClanahan is really close to being back to that, you know,

498
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 3: that ace level type of pitcher that's the kind of

499
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: player I would be targeting. If you got the league

500
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: group chat and somebody saying I really like McClanahan or

501
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 3: something along those lines, that'd be the guy targeting. In general,

502
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: I think that it's too early to make a lot

503
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: of moves, and you know, to be an old man

504
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 3: for a second, people are making way too many moves.

505
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: I think in the early going. I got a DM

506
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 3: from somebody this morning. He'd already turned over twelve twelve

507
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: players on his roster from his twenty three man draft,

508
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: and it's just too much. So I wouldn't recommend making

509
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: a million moves. But with McClanahan in particular, I think

510
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: he's a guy where let's say he has a start

511
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 3: in the next couple of weeks where it's seven shutout

512
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: innings with nine strikeouts, and you know, it'll depend on

513
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: some of those supporting metrics. If the vlo's back, then

514
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: that's a different story. But if we're looking at those

515
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: numbers and the spin rates aren't there, and we think

516
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 3: that he maybe just has a lucky day where he

517
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: gives you six or seven shutout.

518
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: Innings, that would be what I'd be looking to trade

519
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: him away.

520
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So then we're just on different paths here,

521
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: because like that's where I am, like, I think you

522
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 1: need a couple more starts to see where this is

523
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna go. And if the vilo does tick back up

524
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: and the shapes start to tick back up, I'm totally in,

525
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: Like why would I not be in because like we've

526
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: seen him be an elite pitcher. Why would I see

527
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: him regain back to where he was and be like,

528
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: all right, gotta go now.

529
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: It's like, no depends like if he's still sitting ninety fives.

530
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: But that's exactly what I'm saying. If that's what I

531
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: just said, if he is, if he if he's back

532
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: to all the stuff and getting it, I don't know

533
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. But if he's at this where

534
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: he's a mile and a half down and he has

535
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: a good game against the Pirates and he gets those

536
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts, I agree with you. I totally agree with you,

537
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: because then then that's kind of fool's gold, like he

538
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: just had a singular good game. But I don't know how.

539
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I do know how. But if

540
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: if all the stuff comes back, if we see the

541
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: fastball tick backup, which has been doing the shapes, and

542
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: then he has these good performances. That's where you and

543
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: I just diverge. I'm not being like I have to

544
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: get out of him. I'm like, no, Actually, this guy

545
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 1: I got at one eighty one ninety might end up

546
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: being this huge boon for me. Why would I trade

547
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: him away? Now? Totally fair, totally psychopath out there like me.

548
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: One guy in the chat saying, al Rico Jay's bias

549
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: to a ray. My most rostered players this year are Dodgers.

550
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 3: It's Max Munsey, It's the sea ins of the world.

551
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 3: So as much as a scor and glover as I am,

552
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: I can still put the bias aside a little bit, a.

553
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: Little bit little bit. And then finally, I just want

554
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: to throw this out Jose Soriano. It's very pitching centric,

555
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: you know, focus we've had here, but some good outings.

556
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: Holy Sharing. It was great again. Six innings, two hits,

557
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: four k's. He was a back end of a rotation

558
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: guy that a lot of people were taking. Unfortunately, you

559
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: know what it was. It was Cody Ponce and him. Obviously,

560
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: Cody Ponce is gonna miss some significant time. We'll talk

561
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: about when we get to the injuries. But Jose Soriano

562
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 1: has he got into a space for you where he

563
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: has bought himself a couple starts in the future where

564
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: he doesn't become just an instant streamer. Or is he

565
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: still a guy that you're like, this is awesome the

566
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: last two outings. But if he gets, you know, hit

567
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: around a little bit in the next one and there's

568
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: some cool, fun guy on the waivers, you're cutting bait

569
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: with him.

570
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: No, I think for the time being, I'm in on Siano.

571
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: His next start is against the Braves, and then after that,

572
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be against the Yankees. But he's

573
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 3: a guy where for years it's almost been a joke

574
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: really when you're talking about projections and stuff ratings that

575
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: Jose Soriano pops on Cardi's projections every year, is a

576
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 3: top twenty five guy. And there's a chance that he's

577
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: just actually able to put it together this year. I mean,

578
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: his stuff was already really good and it's taken another

579
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: step forward. You know, stuff will stabilize pretty quickly after

580
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 3: two starts. Maybe it's a little bit too soon, but

581
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 3: every pitch has jumped up. He's gone from a one

582
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: oh three to alve one twelve location plus has jumped

583
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: up the pitching pluses at one twenty. All five of

584
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 3: his offerings are at least at one oh three, and

585
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 3: four of them are at least at one oh nine.

586
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 3: Like he is looking really, really sharp. I think there's

587
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: a chance that this is the year where Soriano does

588
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 3: put it all together. But at the same time, the

589
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 3: command is still a little bit of an issue. I

590
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 3: think for him that Walkery could still be hovering around

591
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: the double digits. But this time, this time of year,

592
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: I want to be making my moves on the pitching side.

593
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 3: I want to leave my headers alone for the most part.

594
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: Pick up guys like Soriano and Painter and you know

595
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 3: a guy we'll talk about Kyle Harrison. Those those types

596
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: of breakout performances for pitching you cannot find later in

597
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 3: the year. They're gonna be gone so quickly, so Soriano

598
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 3: pick them up now. If it doesn't work out, it

599
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: doesn't work out. But there is a chance that he

600
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 3: is a top twenty five pitcher this year.

601
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: Let's answer some questions. Make sure if you guys are around,

602
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: we've had a shout out to I mean, just a

604
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,040

617
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: appreciate you, guys. Let's answer some of your guys's questions.

618
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: Game over. We an't worried about Logan Gilbert, are we are?

619
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 4: We?

620
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 3: No? This is the thing like early sample sizes. I

621
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 3: know you had a bit of a rough start yesterday,

622
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 3: but for the most part it was okay until it

623
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: kind of tailed off in the later innings. Gilbert still

624
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: gave you how many whiffs was? It was fourteen? Whiffs

625
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: on ninety five pitches at CSW, well over thirty percent.

626
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: It's not a guy I want to panic on. If

627
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 3: somebody is panicking, I'll happily throw it off or for him.

628
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: Though, yeah, I agree it is. It's tough for me

629
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: when we have to do those Like our articles are

630
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: our videos of like who's someone like the same thing

631
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: happened and we did the article where it was like,

632
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, if there was a player over fifty percent,

633
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: you think you might want to cut, and it was like,

634
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: I put on your cruise on there. But it's too

635
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: early to react to anything. It is way too especially

636
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: players that have any type of investment that you put

637
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: any equity in, Guys you took at the end of

638
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: the draft. Those are the players are that are supposed

639
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,239
Speaker 1: to be the easy cut baits for players like you know,

640
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: the Chase, the Lotters and whatever that are sitting out

641
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: there and make quick moves. I have a hard time

642
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: making moves or definitive decisions on anybody. And it's specifically

643
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: an elite player. I am taking my opportunities for better

644
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: for worse. I'm buying on guys like that. This is

645
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: interesting this early in the season. Are we at a space,

646
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: by the way, where we can make the decision of C. J.

647
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: Abrams or Kevin McGonagall. Mister magoo, who are you starting today?

648
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: In ops?

649
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: CJ. Abrams or McGonagall.

650
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: So I think mcgonagall's got Gallon, He's got gall.

651
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 3: Abrams is facing Chris Sanchez. I'd rather face that Gallon

652
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: than Chris Sanchez. As much as I love you, Welsh,

653
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: I think i'd have to go with Abs or sorry

654
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: with McGonigal.

655
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, But then what you're saying is is you

656
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: you think McGonagall and Abrams are at the space where

657
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: it matters about the matchup. They're that close.

658
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: I think for one day type of thing like that,

659
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: where Abrams is facing a guy like Sanchez, it's a

660
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: lefty lefty matchup. I don't know that i'd want to

661
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: be starting him, And there's a chance I haven't seen

662
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: a lineup today, but I mean, maybe he doesn't even

663
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: start hypothetically against the lefty.

664
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: The lineups today. Also, I mean, I know we're we've

665
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: got four games going live as we're talking about this. Ye,

666
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: this was the big day where everyone's like we're just

667
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: gonna sit all the players that have you know, bad

668
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: stretches like versus lefties or whatever. It was like, I

669
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: think the Rangers sat like three different guys. Evan Carter

670
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: was being sad. Just it looks like there's a lot

671
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: of players that are getting some platoony type of matchups

672
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: early on, which is kind of weird. But yeah, I

673
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: think mcgonagall's in that space where where you are getting

674
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: close to it, and I don't feel great about Abram's

675
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: going against so I pose a question to you, but

676
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: I kind of agree. I think like McGonagall, Magoo at

677
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: this point does look like he's in a spot where

678
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: he's just making tons of contact. I mean, he got

679
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: moved up to two in the line, like, I'm very encouraged,

680
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: So I'm very comfortable with him. By the way, AI

681
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: slop right here, April fools slop the latter to sixty

682
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: day did not happen. That was an April Fools thing

683
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: I saw earlier.

684
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: I said, thought, honestly, I'm such a pessimist. I saw it.

685
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: I fully believed it. With the lot of all people.

686
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: Awful, Well, I mean it's very believable, but that's what's

687
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: awful here. When is kaglionge get to heat up.

688
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 3: Well, we'll talk about him a little bit later on today,

689
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 3: but Joe Ryan matchup mister Homers himself a little bit

690
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: of a teaser for later on in the show, but

691
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: I think it happens today.

692
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that drop. Robert garciav for Tyler, Alexander

693
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 1: or Romano ten team from Romano.

694
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely Romano I would be the guy.

695
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: But I don't think it's gonna end well with Romano

696
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: either with the injuries, with the fact that maybe they

697
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: go with Palmeerans or other options.

698
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: I love Vermano.

699
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: I loved watching him pitch in Toronto, but I think

700
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 3: he's past his prime at this point.

701
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: I think Romano had a phenomenal spring and he's been

702
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: good side. I don't know. This is not even a

703
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: question to me. Romana's a must pick up.

704
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 3: For now, for now, but we'll see where he is

705
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: in a month. I think he's gonna be back on

706
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: the wire.

707
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: Okay, you're being very pessive. You're being very pessimistic versus

708
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: Robert Garcia, who's in a three man rotational player to

709
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: not even a question.

710
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: But if you can find the question, if you can

711
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: find er seg or somebody else a little more secure,

712
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: he would have said he wouldn't he Yeah, maybe, I

713
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: don't know.

714
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if people are fully considering her because

715
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 3: Schreiber got to save the other day. They were going

716
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: into the season with Estevez. I'm not a big Romando guy,

717
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: and he's a Canadian former Blue Jay, so I had

718
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 3: every reason to be biased towards him. But with the

719
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 3: back injuries, with how awful he was last year, I

720
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: think he ends up back on waiver wires. Plus how

721
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: many games are the Angels gonna hand over to the

722
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 3: pen with a lead this year?

723
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

724
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 1: No I agree with that. I I I just think Romano.

725
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: I think Rmano's locked into that gig for the year.

726
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Maybe something crazy is gonna happen. I think I think

727
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: your take of like how many uh oh you did say,

728
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: is available, then yeah, go pick up Erseg. I completely

729
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: agree erse one hundred percent. You should take her Seg

730
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: because but I will say this though, I think there's

731
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: more of a chance that Erseg is not saving games

732
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: because if Carlos Hastevezki has a return to his stuff,

733
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: he's taking the gig right back. No one's taking that

734
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: gig from Rmano unless he just you know them things

735
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: get lit, you know what I mean.

736
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's that's fair. I think this year, as

737
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 3: a slight side note, might be the worst year ever

738
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 3: for closer relief pitcher analysis. There's like twelve teams, thirteen

739
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: and teams.

740
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: You hear that where.

741
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: It's awful, it's awful.

742
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So by the way, next time throw in

743
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: if erseg was out there, that's a super important one.

744
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: That is the top guy. I think every single one

745
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: of us agreed like erse at the tippy top because

746
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: the Royals great team context you one hundred percent should

747
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: be all right. We got some three up and three down.

748
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: We've got some injuries going on here, but we'll talk

749
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: about that. Actually that here before we get to the bets. Sorry,

750
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the show sheet here. Where were we

751
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: three up and three down? Max Scherzer on the up

752
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: six innings, four hits, one and run, four strikeouts and

753
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: a walk. We had Jake Myers or Jake Bowers, I'm sorry,

754
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: two for four, little combo meal action and Taylor Ward

755
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: four for five with a couple of RBIs. Looked really

756
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: good on the down Brian Bayo four two thirds, five

757
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: and runs, two strikeouts, three walks. Nick Kurtz oh for

758
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: four with three strikeouts. The Nick Kurtz stuff has been

759
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: a little worrisome early on, but again it's super small

760
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: sample size. Ronald Accooney oh for four with three strikeouts.

761
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: I meant to make this change. You did these, but

762
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: I meant to make a change to add to this.

763
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: What a laughably bad idea me and others had about

764
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: her Man Marquez. That was a down man. Her Man

765
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: Marquez was poop and we all liked him as a streamer.

766
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: That last start he had all those you know, whiffs

767
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: off his curveball. He's out of Colorado and just want

768
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: to throw that out. Then that was a total poop. Down.

769
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: On the injury front, Cody Ponce ACL spring and he's

770
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna miss some significant time. Joe, this sucks. That's your team.

771
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: Like a lot of us really liked him, and that

772
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: knee injury is putting pointing out by a lot of

773
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: doctors there. They called it like an ACL sprain, but

774
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: like a Grade three is like a tear so this

775
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: could All we know at this moment is they said

776
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: significant and it feels like it could be a season,

777
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: a whole season one. And by the way, I did

778
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: not know this. Did you know that Cody Ponce is

779
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: brother in law's with George Kittle. I didn't know that.

780
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know that.

781
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 3: The Jays have kind of hyped it up with their

782
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 3: socials and they actually gave George Kittle a locker in

783
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 3: the clubhouse. I don't know if that's going to remain

784
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 3: or if that was like a just for the photos

785
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 3: type of thing, but pretty.

786
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: Cool an open locker. Now George Kittle.

787
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 3: Is, Yeah, they do have an open locker. George KITT's

788
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: a Blue Jay f which is kind of cool. But

789
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 3: Cody Ponds, I think he's probably done for the yearies

790
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: meeting with doctor elatrosh Aka doctor reattached later today or tomorrow.

791
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 3: So I think there's only really one way that that

792
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 3: goes on a human level. It sucks because he was

793
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 3: so good overseas, he gets the decent contract and nice,

794
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: I mean, thirty three million dollars is a really good contract,

795
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 3: and then his first start ends that way. Watching it,

796
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: it was awful because it was a ball that he

797
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 3: shouldn't have really been fielding. Ernie Clement was there to

798
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: back him up. If he just let Ernie Clement take

799
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 3: that ball, then he would have been okay, which is

800
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 3: just awful to see. But I think that you can

801
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 3: safely be dropping him pretty much everywhere. Michael impo, be

802
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: careful with these messages in the chat. Here are also

803
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to put you in a timeout, Wander Franco

804
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 3: and Anthony Renda and get out of here with that.

805
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get out of all this. I told you

806
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: April first. It's the worst. It literally is the worst.

807
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: Chase Delattery left early after foiling a ball off his

808
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: left foot. He did not hit a sixty day il.

809
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: They said it was just a contusion and that's probably

810
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: the best case news because he got like a right

811
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: out of there. And he is wildly injury prone, one

812
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: of the biggest reasons why he wasn't ranked a lot

813
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: higher in a lot of people's ranks. The talent was there,

814
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: but the dude literally couldn't stay healthy. You know, more

815
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: injuries in Mike Trout through the miners. It felt like

816
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: like the Mic Trout's had in his career, like he

817
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: literally couldn't stay healthy. This freaked everybody out. Look like

818
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Okay, you know, I don't know. Maybe

819
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss a couple days, maybe it's gonna be

820
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: back quick. But encourage no sixty day IL, so we

821
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: can't freak out. Zach Efflin was removed Tuesday's start due

822
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: to elbow soreness and will be placed on the ILO.

823
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: Not great sey as Suzuki is gonna begin a rehab

824
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: assignment this week. That is a big positive. They could

825
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: use him back. This is not good. Someone asked in

826
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: the chat earlier. They're like, hey, how do we feel

827
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: about how do we feel about Zach Wheeler and Carlos

828
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: were done. We don't feel good because Carlos redne at

829
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: least experience right hamstring tightness and his while going through

830
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: his throwing program, and that was leading you know, he

831
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: was closing in on starting like a rehab thing. This

832
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: is going to slow things down a little bit. I'm

833
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: there been a Carlos Reddon guy, but this just moves

834
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: me even further. If you have if you have him

835
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: like an IL, you can keep him there and do that.

836
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: But he is not a stash guy to me whatsoever.

837
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 3: Not if you're burning an active roster spot. Yeah, if

838
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 3: you have IL space for sure, but I wasn't really

839
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 3: interested in him coming into the year. This setback now,

840
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 3: like we're probably talking about half a season gone for

841
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: Rodan here, so.

842
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely agree. And then Jordan Westberg was transferred

843
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: to the sixty day IL and from the ten and

844
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 1: that means he's not eligible to come back till May

845
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: twenty first, so almost two months from now. Also would

846
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: say just not worth just stashing like and you'r in

847
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: like NFBC stuff. You wouldn't be worth putting him on

848
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: like a bench just as an IL spot, like you

849
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: just got to cut him, move on. And as talented

850
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: as he can be, he's just not necessarily living up

851
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: to it. We're gonna be talking about some bets here

Speaker 1: bets on some home run calls, because let's take a

868
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: look at the board real quick for some home run calls.

869
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: We have got some threes. Our boy whips and who

870
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: who do at? Randy both with three at the tippy

871
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: top of the board, Baby Billy, we've gone what is

872
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: this like? Fifteen people with two or more already very impressive.

873
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: Two with three. Walkee got on the board yesterday, so

874
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: me and Walkee have both got one. No Joe Piezapia.

875
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: The question around the streets Joe has been are you

876
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: gonna play this game this year? You come on the show,

877
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: you make a call when you're here, and then you're

878
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: gone for a couple of weeks and you come back

879
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, I just forgot how you gonna

880
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: play the game all right.

881
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 3: Last year I had surgery and I was out of

882
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: commission for a month, so I had a legit reason,

883
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 3: but I could have picked it up after I was back.

884
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 3: This year, I've given you guys a couple of days

885
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: head start, but I will be starting it off tonight,

886
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 3: kicking it off with Jay Caglio and baby Jack Caglioan

887
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 3: is taking Joe Ryan yard tonight. I love Joe Ryan,

888
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 3: but what does Joe Ryan do. He allows a ton

889
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 3: of homers one four homer nine for his career. It's

890
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 3: a good chance for Jack to get his first one

891
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 3: of the season and kickoff what I think is gonna

892
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 3: be a big year for the kid.

893
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it. You're gonna do it. You're gonna

894
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: be consistent. I'm going with my boy Mike, Mike Trout

895
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: showing off some nice early home run action going up

896
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: against I think it's boy today and Mike Trout gonna

897
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: get me on the board for number two in a

898
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a little bit. I told you so,

899
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: mister Joe. Rico. Very excited to have those conversations in

900
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: the next couple weeks, whenever we can start having victory

901
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: laps on either side. Of course, that is going to

902
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: lead us in to our best bets of the day,

903
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 1: not doing that bit here when PSP is not here.

904
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: These are hard Rock best Bet, the hard rock bet

905
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: of the day here, sponsored by hard Rock. Here is

906
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: what we have got for you today, mister Joe Rico,

907
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: why don't you kick us off with your hard rock

908
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: best bet of the day.

909
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit daunting betting somebody against the Dodgers,

910
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 3: but I am taking Gavin Williams for over five and

911
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: a half strikeouts. He hit seven in his first game

912
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 3: of the season against the Mariners. No slouch lineup there,

913
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 3: albeit not the Dodgers. But I think Gavin Williams really

914
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: seemed to unlock something in the second half of life

915
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 3: last year, particularly with the strike well, particularly with everything.

916
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: He was just great in the second half. But I

917
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: think there is another level there with the strikeouts. We

918
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: saw it in the first game of the season. I

919
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,959
Speaker 3: think we'll continue to see that tonight. He just needs

920
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 3: six to hit the over here, and you're getting at

921
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: a plus money as well, plus one oh five. Chop

922
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: around look for the best line, but the best one

923
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 3: I saw was plus one oh five Gavin Williams over

924
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 3: five and a half k's.

925
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: There might be a little bit of a weather in mind,

926
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to pay attention to it. A couple

927
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: of people in the chat have talked about like if

928
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: this is gonna play, but we've seen some agreement. I

929
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: love this spot the Royals money line. Royals money line

930
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: sitting around plus money going up against the Twins. Joe

931
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: Ryan is on the mound, which I think is the

932
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: reason why the Twins, you know, are put in a

933
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: spot where the Royals are a plus money if you

934
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: take the run line or on a plus money on

935
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: the money line. But I love the Royals offense. I

936
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: think they're going to get to Joe Ryan and if

937
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: the weather holds, we like the Royals in money line

938
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: at plus one hundred. That, my friends, is the hard

Speaker 1: Friends, I was just informed I did not see this.

973
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: Of course, this is one hundred percent going to change

974
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: my opinion here. I'm pivoting off of Mike Trout. I

975
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: did not see the wind is coming in at eighteen

976
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: miles per hour. That is the death sentence of the Cubs.

977
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: That was one of the big things of like I

978
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: don't know with Bregman long terms. So guys, I gotta

979
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: pivot one hundred percent. Usually, whatever you guys say, I'm

980
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: not going to care. I'm one hundred percent going to

981
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: move off of this, and I want to take a

982
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 1: royal but I'm a little bit worried about the game

983
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: starting on my best bed. So I'm gonna pivot over

984
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: and I'm going to give you my best bet for

985
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: today or from my home run call is going to

986
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: be Fernando Tatis Junior. So that's going to be where

987
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm going with it.

988
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 2: So we've verified in the chat that these are real

989
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: weather reports.

990
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. It is April first, that

991
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: could be like it's fifty miles an hour win. So

992
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: I one hundred percent did not check the wind on that.

993
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: That is absolutely critical and very silly of me too,

994
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: So I'm going to move that over. So there you go,

995
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis Wonky. That is going to be my official pick.

996
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: All right, long show. Whenever I host, that's always what

997
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: ends up happening. Joe keeps is on pace. But I

998
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,080
