But I'm not only listening yet. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.720 We're not all going to give you a pat on 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.000 the back when all you do is pick Aaron Judge. 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.640 So good for you for picking the most prolific home 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.160 run hitter of our current era. So a good job. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:52.400 But I do want to shout you. 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.440 Out as many home runs like from you know, platoon players, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.000 it's pick a home run okay. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.160 I mean again, that's fine. Just pick eron j the 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:01.560 rest of the year and you'll at least have forty 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.240 you can guarantee. But you were on Ariel Epstein's the prop. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.000 I think it's prop Queen. I'm not sure what the 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.480 show is called now. I know that's the nickname and everything. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.600 But a shout out to you for giving that out 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.480 on there. And I think she was kind of pushing 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:14.960 back a little bit. I don't remember. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.600 It's like I can't keep doing it. And I was like, 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:17.920 yes again, yes. 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you were you were straight on, 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:21.599 you were straight on the bet. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.159 And then I think fortunate minutes later she texted me 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.160 and she's like, yep, well that hit. 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.200 But to her credit, you know your Yankee side, Yankees 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.359 did not win, and she was on the Oriel side. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.840 Boo Yankees boo. Anyway, Streets Alive Bobby Witt twenty one 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.800 game hit streak. Maybe somebody else can get some hits 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.920 there of Vinie Pas Guentino hit it to a run 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.120 home run, Maybe he will show some signs of life. 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.440 Anthony Santander another home run he had home on Sunday. 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.760 A lot of a lot of Santander in the live 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.919 chat yesterday we did a lot of people wanted to 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.200 get out from under Anthony Santander. 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.920 Joey yes, and I want to be buying him everywhere. Well, 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.240 so Pascorentino Santa there and Emmanuel class your boy gave 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.880 up one run on the ninth but protected the three 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:06.880 run league, got his fifth savee so back in the 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.839 closer role, but it wasn't perfect. So Welsh, what'd you 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.200 think of yesterday's performance for the Class A. 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.200 I think it's just still what we need. I don't 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.039 think they're looking necessarily perfection. They're looking for him to 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.640 continuously close those jobs. And what was it, you know 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.120 when we were talking about this, you know, both were 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.600 kind of in a dire straight situation. And what did 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.479 I say? I said, Class A is not the one 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.240 I'm worried about. It's Devin Williams. Not to say that 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:32.960 it's not going to be taken away from Class A. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.800 Kate Smith is a really really good setup guy Yankees 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.120 really really good setup guy in Luke Weaver. There's just 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.960 something different that's been off about Devin Williams and his 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.960 time over there. The Airbender doesn't look as sharp right now, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.760 and Luke Weaver has been absolutely disgusting. Class A is 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.120 still being given the opportunities, So very very much in 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.720 on class A. And if you've a little small period 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.360 to buy a shout out to you. 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.000 I was putting together some stuff for the TV on Sunday, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.760 you know, kind of the best in the worst of April. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.320 Do you realize that Marcus Simeon's ops is at five 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:13.680 hundred for the month? Five ops ops is five hundred. 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:15.880 It's a very BVP day for him, by the way, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.600 Just want to point that out, very much in his favor. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.479 It better be. By the way, Walkeye Penguin coming in 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.200 with the official I'm at six. 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.120 That's not I gotta give you credit. I didn't even 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.919 think you would be sniffing this thing anytime soon. You 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.080 got a legitimate shot this month. Start well, yeah, hey, 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:34.200 keep picking Aaron Judge. 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.279 Well I will against the Orioles and everyone can tell me, oh, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:38.680 I can't keep doing it. I'm good. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.800 I will give you more. Don't pick Aaron Judge. The 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.560 rest of may make it a no Judge may. And 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.240 then let's see if you can get on the board. Oh, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.520 you can't get on the board with that Aaron Judge. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.280 I can get on the board however I want and 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.400 I and I'm not picking Aaron Judge today, Okay, so 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.040 we'll see how that goes. I'm being offered Hosey Ramrrors 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.520 for your non and west Nesky in a twelve team rotal. 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.560 That's pretty even trade, right, question Mark, So what side 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.360 you want to be on? I want the Ramira side. 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.640 I want the Yeah, it's a it's super fair. When 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.680 you get Jose Ramirez on that obviously is good. Was 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.160 Nesky isn't enough to like sway the trade whatsoever. So 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.600 it's almost like a straight up uh yourn Alvarez and 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.280 Josier Rameras and I'd rather have Ramirez. 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.560 Uh, this is great too from bd. 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:23.320 Uh. 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.560 If we see uh Pierre Batista Pizza Bala commenting on 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.559 the YouTube videos, we know Welsh it has a burner account. Yeah, 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:34.640 that's that was so fun yesterday. And just again shout 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.960 out to Michael Cally, our producer, who is just right 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.480 on top of it. The timing of all that is 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.320 as if we planned it, and we planned none of 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.840 that like that. I had it in my head that 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.280 I wanted to talk about it, and God, I love 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.760 this group. This is this is my favorite and all 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.440 of you watching, I'm just this is our job. We're 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.400 so lucky to do this and we have such a 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.320 good time, and we are so grateful that you're joining 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.880 us every day. That's all I want to say. Positivity positive. 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:04.000 Welsh's dragon today, Calie. All the Westies are dragon ass today. 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:05.880 I just want to give a little shout out. This 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:10.200 is fun. Here returns Christopher Sanchez. He screwed us, Welsh. 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.080 He came back. He threw five innings that he had 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.000 six strikeouts. That's no good. A seven strikeouts? What am I? 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:15.120 No? 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:15.960 How many have six? 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.240 Six? Or he had more than more than we needed. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.640 More than we needed, and it pissed me off. Oh 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:23.160 to heck with him. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.680 That's well, okay, let's get that out of the horrible 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.640 betting day. He was no strikeouts in the first, he 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.439 struck out the side in the second. I believe he 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.320 had no strikeouts in the third, and then he just 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.160 and he was like barreling up innings and stuff. So 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.080 the betting, it was just it wasn't our It wasn't 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:45.760 our day for it. But Sanchez also like the health, 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.720 that's the big thing here. Like it was really scary 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.760 what was going on Nationals team, not that it's like, 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.480 you know, the greatest team in the world, but also 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.000 you know, they just don't strike out a lot for 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:54.880 him to be efficient as he was. He had a 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.439 thirty seven percent with rate. His change up it was 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.360 absolutely disgusting, sixty four percent with rate. Threw it a 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.840 whole bunch. Fastball did its job. He threw it in 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.240 the zone. I mean like, it's a classic every piece 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.080 of what you want out of a picture. And he 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.400 looked healthy. That's the big key. So really great opportunity. 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.560 If you had already got him, he still potentially I 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.839 would want to kind of jump back in and see 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.079 if I can go and get Chris Sanchez if someone's 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.800 still a little bit worried off the injury, because he 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.040 looked really really good. 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.240 Process was good on that bet yesterday.

I bet that 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.480 bet yesterday. JD. Question, here, is streaming Verlander day a 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.080 bad idea? No, we're going against the Rockies. Everyone's gooring 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.920 one hundred runs in the first month of the season. No, 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.760 go do it? Do it?

This is from Sarah Langs, the best of 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.880 the best. Aaron Judge has lost one hundred and sixty 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.200 two games, three sixty six batting average of four ninety 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.480 two ovp A seven to seventy three sluggings, So maybe 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.000 I'm wrong. Ken's like seven hundred for season. 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.360 Freaking news. Aaron Judge is amazing. 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.560 Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait is there more? Sixty 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.680 four homers, one hundred and sixty two RBI, one hundred 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.560 and forty two runs scored, one hundred and thirty three walks, 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.920 two hundred and ten hits, thirty seven doubles and twelve 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:14.600 stone bases. 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.199 That's pretty good and a par tree. 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.320 Look, and I know you're giving up a lot there, 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.800 but you're not. I mean you're just giving up too. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.120 I mean you are because like Web. 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.839 Have been pretty good. Web is you know, the last 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.000 Star wasn't good, but before that was brilliant. So yeah, 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.800 I mean that's fine. Yes, wah Wah subs are the best, 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.920 by the way, just say it's all about the Wawah subs. 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:36.719 We know this on the chick never Our. June to 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.280 Schwarberfest too. I hope they're doing the hogy Fest which Warber. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.880 Well, someone said Schwarberfest officially started, is it? Are you 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.640 sure it's not May? I Thoughtfest was June. Also, I don't. 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.760 Know, Michael Calla, can we can we find out when 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.199 Schwarberfest is in twenty twenty five. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.440 That's a little early, very important. It's very important for 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.040 betting fantasy markets. Schrefest is big. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.840 It's very important when Schwarberfest begins. Schwarber starts going on 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:02.360 a tear, the hokey start going. Lucas Giolito came back yesterday. 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.840 Seven strikeouts for him, three runs and six innings against 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.440 the Blue Jays, so a really good outing for him. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.719 Give up a home run there, but still I think 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.200 this is one where if you were in the Red 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:17.079 Sox and you're getting this version of Giolito consistently, your 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.920 fingers crossed right, you're hoping for this. That could be 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.840 a really big addition to this rotation with Garrett Crochet, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.720 with the way some of the other guys have pitched 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.560 at times in this rotation, this east is wide open. 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.200 I know the Yankees have Aaron Judge, but after Freed, 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.040 I think a lot of that pitching is suspect Welsh. 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.520 What'd you make of Giolito's return to the rotation. 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.120 So sometimes we sit here and we're like, we don't 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.600 want to get in in this first game AJ blah blah, well, 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.679 which we'll talk about. We were right there, of course, 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.160 and then sometimes we see an injured guy and we're like, 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.320 we don't want to get in on it, and it 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.200 just doesn't work quite in your favor. And that was 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.640 kind of like where Giolito was. Gei Alito looked really 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:56.960 really good early on fastball wasn't down, I mean ninety six, 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.440 he was touching. He was sitting around ninety three ish, lighter, 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.680 was pumping from a year over year at least velo change. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.880 It was a mile proer up, so the stuff was 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.360 kind of back. He was very two pitch pitchery. It 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.040 was fastball change up. So you'd like to see that 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.040 slider get used a little bit more into starts because 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.640 he really wasn't a big whiff guy, but he was 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.480 getting called strikes. He was sitting around the zone. I 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.520 think things look really good there to a point that 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:24.599 now I would want to pick him up. But I 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.240 would want to I would I don't even know if 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:28.800 I would like pay too much of attention to the 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.600 who he's out there, unless it's like a huge power offense, 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.040 Like I want to get him out on the next 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.320 starts because Toronto, that's a tough matchup, and he looked 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.040 really good early on. So I'm down with a gi 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:38.880 Alito right now. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.360 No specific date yet on the Shoreberfest, on the hoge Fest, 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.360 so for twenty twenty five, keep tuned down, So stay tuned. 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.160 When we have a word, we will break that news 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:54.720 to you. That's like breaking news immediately. That's important stuff. Shoreberfest, Brookie, lookie, 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.600 Noah Cameron. We talked about him yesterday as a potential streamer. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.199 Well guess what six and a third scorel sittings a 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.719 w and his major league debut. Really good performance. There 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.320 Any thoughts on Noah Cameron Welsh? Is this a guy 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.080 that could stick in this rotation? 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.200 I don't know if he's gonna stick just because simply 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.240 this was like taking over for Reagans, and I said 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.000 this on the live stream. I actually almost had Noah 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.920 Cameron was the chopping block for what we did on 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.200 prospecting with the Welsh earlier in favor of Ian Seymour. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.120 And the reason behind that was, like I thought, there's 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.040 a better path for Seymour than there was for no Cameron. 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:30.960 It would have taken an injury and then you know, 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.480 while lot that ended up happening. So can he say 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:37.120 anything as possible, but five different pitch types he ended 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:41.160 up throwing. His slider looked pretty dangn good forty four 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:45.000 percent whiff rate. Everything else was relatively mediocre as far 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.520 as like what whiffs were going. He was getting called strikes, 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.000 but only a twenty two percent CSW percentage with that, 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.840 which that is called strikes and whiffs. So that's low. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.680 You want into the like, you know, mid thirties or 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.720 at least in the thirties for like a league average, 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.440 So that's well below low. But he was a ton 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.920 in the zone. Let's keep an eye on it. I'm 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.520 not sure that the strikeout stuff is enough there, and 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.920 we're gonna have to see, you know what, you can't 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.480 throw on the zone that much long term. So I 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.920 think he's a streamer when the opportunity is out there 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.080 against the right matchup. He didn't move into must pick 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:17.720 up territory. But it was a really good outing. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.240 A j blue ball did not have a good outing. 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.680 He was one and done there, he got sent back 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.800 down seven. He got Yeah, not the first of the 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:31.600 last time someone's been disappointed by blue balls. But do 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:32.720 you see what number he wore to? 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:34.920 Sixty nine? 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.640 He did? He did nice. That's kind of fun. You're 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.400 gonna stick with it. If you're gonna be funny'd be funny, 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:40.480 you know. If you're gonna go all the way with 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:41.800 the name, go all the way. 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.080 With the jersey, just similar to the right now. 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.480 I got to that's a jersey you should own. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:50.160 Just say what sixty nine the blue ball? Okay? You 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.840 know I have a jersey we have not shown yet. 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:58.320 That is a we have to say we need to. Well, 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.080 we can show it. But it is a very leading 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.880 off centric jersey that I was sent. It's a custom jersey. 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.240 I'll remind you of what it is after the show. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.200 We didn't have a custom jerseys. You get to hang 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.480 out with major league players. I'm very beloved. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.440 I don't even get I don't get a free wall 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.960 wall sub I get nothing. Why are you beloved? I 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.760 don't understand this. I'm a great guy, speaking of things 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.680 on the fringe. Do you see who got called up 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.320 for the Mets today? Did you see this? 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:25.440 I didn't. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.760 Please? Welcome to the stage. Genesis Cabrera. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:45.520 Fellas Genesis Sugar, O Sugar, give it up for. 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.360 I'm sticky sweet. We can get demonetized if I sing 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.120 more def Leppard. Is that gonna happen? It's so good 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.560 because it's good for those of you just joining. Leading 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.000 off the Genesis Cabrera thing. That's an old joke and 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:01.040 it's like the greatest exotic dancer name ever. It just 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.160 so happens to belong to relief pitcher who's still in 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.800 the major leagues right now, which is pretty cool. Let's 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.000 get to the three up and three down from yesterday. 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.920 Lawrence Butler grand slam for him in the ninth get 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.400 the A's a win Chris Sale seven innings, two run ball, 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.879 ten strikeouts against the Rockies. So if you're gonna start 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.160 Verlander today, yes, against the Rockies. Always against the Rockies. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.960 Sale didn't get a win though, bummer there for him 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.200 making his twenty twenty five debut. Tony Gonsolin fan nine 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:33.080 Tony Gonsolin nine strikeouts, Welsh, what the hell's happening here? 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.879 He's healthy. That's all that it was is he was 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.120 super healthy. This was another I don't know why. Yesterday 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.200 was like all these like guys that are coming back 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.199 and we're like, I don't know, but the Marlins are 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.919 a big strikeout team, so like, you know, playing props 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:48.960 and stuff against them made sense. But they've been making 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:53.200 decent contact. But he had seventeen whifts in that game. 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:57.480 Ridiculous forty percent Whiffrey. This is crazy. He has four 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:01.760 pitch types non fastball, slider, splitter, and curveball. All had 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.400 a fort or higher with free So like the Marlins 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.720 are going to strike out and stuff. But my god, 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.320 that's efficiency. That's big efficiency. And you can see it 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.360 was like he had the slider in the zone, fastball 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.760 on the zone. He let the splitter just bury out. 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.919
