Planes i'm gonna be told to enjoy two 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.520 flights and then we'll go from. 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.360 There and, yeah so we're gonna be making our way over. 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.400 There and and if you want to use promo, code 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.320 just baseball ON betmgm to place a little bit of 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.040 dollars on A College World series. Future i'm gonna be 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.040 coming out with mine. Tonight you can obviously jump on, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.880 mine or you could just pick a different. One you 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.839 ready to get straighted into? It or you got anything 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.520 On omaha right? Now who are you? Eyeing by the, 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.800 way for The College World? Series i'm excited. TO i 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.000 haven't dug into the odds. 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.200 Yet obviously we did the preview of just like the top, 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.200 prospects AND i know that that's not really always what 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.919 determines the, winner but there's a pretty start GAP i 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.600 think between like pro level talent on like A arkansas 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.000 razorback team even compared to like An arizona or A 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.320 Louisville so THAT i have caught myself being pulled towards, 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:45.600 That but THEN i look at the odds and it's 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.200 Like arkansas AND lsu are priced at. That SO i don't. 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.240 Know i'm really excited to hear. It don't spoil. It 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.440 i'm excited to hear what your pick. Is But i've 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:58.800 been really fascinated by how Like Coastal carolina is what 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.640 tied for the third. Favorite that's. FUN i would love 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.480 to see them make some. Noise i'm not gravitating anywhere. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.120 YET i Think i'm gonna use at least one of 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.039 the two flights to dig a little bit. Deeper BUT 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.840 i look at The arkansas. TEAM i know they're the, 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:16.919 favorite and it's just it's so hard to poke a 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.080 hole in that team right. Now BUT i also THINK 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:20.560 lsu is a. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.440 FORCE i love the shot On Coasta, carolina AND i 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.279 loved what their manager was saying after their, game where 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.200 people were asking, him is this Is cinderella's story and 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.040 he was, like stop all, That stop all. That we 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.960 have like the ninth most wins in college baseball. History 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.560 we've been To omaha multiple. Times this team won. It 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.080 they've won it. Right they have this crazy streak of 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.279 winning series dating Into omaha as, well And i'd have 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:47.880 to pull up the, numbers but this team has been. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.600 Incredible their pitching staff is out of this. World they 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.280 can absolutely win, it And i'm glad that, BET mgm 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.760 and folks all have them as the third best team 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.800 in this. Tournament this tournament is wide open butt at 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.720 the same, Time arkansas AND lsu are. Juggernauts and doesn't 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.359 it always feel, like especially In March, madness in the 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.159 years that the field is wide, open the favorite wins 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.279 it and when everyone's thinking about the, favorites someone from 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.240 wide open makes. It that's how it feels to me 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.000 that everyone's looking for that Next cinderella story and it'll 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.560 end up Being arkansas TO. Lsu so you will see 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.160 my pick coming out very. Soon but it's time to 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:31.080 Talk Major League baseball and our first underrated, storyline The Blue. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:36.640 Jays The Toronto Blue jays offense Since may first has 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:41.799 been fantastic and they are now the first wild card 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.200 team in The American. League they rank third and batting average, 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.159 third and runs third AND obp, fourth AND ops, third 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.720 AND wrc plus and first in f. War led By 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.440 Alejandro kirk who has been. Awesome your favorite Player Addison 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:02.479 barger of, Course, Vladdie George, Springer Nathan, Lucas, Bobashett Ernie. 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.159 Clement all of those names have A wrc plus above 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.200 one point. Fifteen The Blue jays right we're recording On 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.240 wednesday before they play against The, cardinals but they went 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.160 Into Saint louis and won the first two games of 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.320 that series that are going for the. Sweep With Eric 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.680 lauer on the, mound who's also been awesome for, them 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:21.640 The Blue jays are just. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.800 Rolling it's it's funny BECAUSE i had the one tweet 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.800 THAT i guess just kind of got to To Blue 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.840 jays fans About Andre. Samenez it's, LIKE i still can't 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.600 fathom how they took on that contract and parted with 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.200 assets to do, It and then since, THEN i think 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.239 he's actually been swinging it a lot. Better but what's amazing, 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.720 is like we talked about, it like how valuable is 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.040 second base, Defense, well if the rest of your lineup 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.760 is raking a lot more, valuable the problem was like 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.560 when you had just a glove for a second basement 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:52.920 early in the year and the rest of your team 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.560 wasn't really swinging it like it's, like, well we need 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.640 offense wherever we can get, it and it's kind of 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.080 tough to punt a position right. There but right, NOW i, 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.720 mean you look across that, lineup but you already laid 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.320 it all. Out but what's amazing to me, is, yeah 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.960 LIKE i honestly didn't know That Boba schet has already 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.520 gotten his IS wrc plus backup over one hundred at one. 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.720 TEN i clearly you couldn't Miss kirk doing what he was. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.720 Doing but Even, springer who got off to that like 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.760 nuclear start to the, season yeah he slowed, down but 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.720 he's still's playing really. Well so you look top to 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.640 bottom in this, lineup it's a lot of above average offensive. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.000 Production and THEN i do like the, bench Like Miles 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.640 straw is back to usable. Again i'm so pumped For 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.440 davis being. Back AND i know he's not playing a, 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.440 ton But David schneider is absolutely a guy that is 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.679 an asset off the bench to crush lefts and can 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.320 plug in at different. Spots Tyler heineman's been the best 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.360 player on the, planet as you mentioned, before AND i 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.160 still Think allan Road in like it was a really 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.120 rough big league. Debut this guy's a good. Player he's 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.760 going to settle in, eventually AND i think he's starting 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.800 to even a little. Bit they don't have like the, 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.920 crazy crazy, firepower but you're seeing a lot of guys 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.000 take a step. Forward maybe guys that were underperforming last 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.560 year getting back to where they can. Be and maybe 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.439 there's some length to this lineup now all of a, 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.480 sudden if The bargers of the world can keep it, 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:13.439 up and. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.000 It's got to be so refreshing for The Blue jays 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.559 in their past couple of, games at least in the past, 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.719 week they get punched in the mouth and then they 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.320 punch right, back and it's really everybody in this lineup 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.439 kind of doing their. Part when normally Watching Blue jays 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.240 games over the past couple of, years there's not a 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.120 lot of fight in this. Team when they go, down 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.480 they don't often come. Back you, know when they, win they, 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.560 Win but there wasn't a lot of that you, know, 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.640 magic that, grit AND i see it in this. Lineup 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.760 and speaking about, grit guy with AN ops with two, 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.520 strikes who leads AN ops when there's two strikes against? 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.280 Him Alejandro, Kirk. 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:54.000 YEAH i GOTTA i gotta APOLOGIZE i clown that. EXTENSION 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.480 i Think jack did, too so make him apologize to 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.680 OH i will. FANS I i didn't like the. EXTENSION 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.560 i really. DIDN'T i thought it WAS i didn't Think 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.920 kirk was the type of player THAT i would want 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.920 to give that kind of extension. Too BUT i think 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.760 you look at, it even though the last couple of, 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.600 years even when he was leaving a bit to be desired, 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.680 offensively he was still turning in a two three and 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.439 a two to eight f four because he's defending well 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.640 and he's receiving so. Well so you imagine if he 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.880 can get close to what he was doing offensively in 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.600 twenty twenty, two that's a four win season. There SO 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.800 i think potentially a little too harsh On, kirk who 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:36.120 sneaky also still just twenty. Six, yeah fuck, nuts he 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:40.400 debuted at twenty one years. Old i'm, sorry LIKE i 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.640 was WRONG i think, this and not just because he 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.080 off to a good start this. Year it kind of 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.280 forced me to reframe my thought. PROCESS i was just 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.800 talking about how the offensive barrier is so low to 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.600 be a regular catcher if you're a decent, catcher And 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.400 kirk has turned himself into, that SO i, mean it's 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.160 been cool to see and if you look at the expected, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.160 stats he's actually been a little. Unlucky SO i had 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.000 not known what to do with this, team and you, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.240 know it's been difficult comparing them to The. Rays but 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.720 NOW i think they're separating. Themselves we'll see if they 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.000 can continue to build on. It but the most fascinating 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.920 part THAT i keep going back to is you Have 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.880 Anthony santandre and we're gonna talk a little bit more 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.080 about him in a, moment And Dalton varshow on THE 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.040 IL i Mean. Varshow of, course you know he's gonna 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:21.800 get up there and he's gonna defend an elite clip 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.280 at the very least and run into some, homers But 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.800 santan there like at this, point for the offense to 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.480 be doing what it's doing without, him you got to 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.080 feel really good because you have some concern, that, like 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.320 maybe he comes back and still doesn't play, better but 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.960 you also have this idea that what if he does, 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.959 Right SO i think it's it's really encouraging to see 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.679 them performing without. Him and then so then if he 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.520 does come back and he struggles still, continuously you know 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.240 that the offense can weather the. Storm but you also 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.040 have this idea, That, okay, well if he gets back 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.120 to anything close to what he was last, year think 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:55.800 about where that could elevate this offense even. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.880 Further just to wrap up on The kirk, part walking 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.040 nine point two, percent only striking out five point eight. 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:08.080 Percent may he's. Hitting he's hitting three ninety three with 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.439 a one to seventy FIVE wrc plus and he's put 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.000 up two point oh f war because his defense is 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.040 the lead on top of. IT i, mean everything is 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.240 working for. Him we talk about Cal. Rawly we're gonna 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:21.000 talk about another underrated catcher, later but, REALLY i, mean 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.359 we talked About Jeremy pana potentially being the most underrated 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.160 player in baseball this. YEAR i, mean Is Alejandro kirk not? 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.920 Second he, Might i'm looking at the underlying, data, dude holy, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:38.120 good totally. Good moron a ninety percentile of one oh 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.720 eight and a hard hit rate of fifty seven. Percent 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.040 this old muscle amster is ripping, balls. 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.880 Ripping, balls playing great, defense receiving behind the, plate and 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.560 The Blue jays pitching has also been great as. Well but, 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.280 yeah dating back or dating, back going back To Anthony 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:57.160 santander five, years ninety two and a half, million and 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.120 he's gotten off to a horrendous, start and he's all 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.360 obviously been in it as. WELL i was listening to 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:08.319 Some Blue jays talk on, YouTube and the hosts on that, 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.760 SHOW i forget what show it. WAS i just clicked 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.240 it come. BACK i, KNOW i, KNOW i comed. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:14.240 UP i was just. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.240 Watching, it SO i can't give. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:16.720 CREDIT i. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.840 Apologize but what they were saying is that they think 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:25.240 That santander was playing through this injury and really trying 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.320 to prove it to the. Fans, now, again that was their, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.240 guess but the way they broke it, DOWN i was, 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:33.560 LIKE i kind of get. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.840 IT i, mean it's not. Bad, no he's not this. 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.440 Bad we said he was a yellow flag free, agent but, 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:44.280 like come, on, yeah he's a decent. Hitter he shouldn't 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.600 be this. BAD i MEAN i, COULD i could understand. 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.080 That in twenty one games Since may, ONE i, mean 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:55.120 he's hitting one eighty. Six but, really the telltale stat 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.720 to me is a two eighty six slugging. Percentage, yeah 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.040 even When santander is not doing, well he's still going 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.839 to clip a few home, runs you, know every couple of, days, 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.160 right he only has two home runs in those twenty 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.959 one games and almost no extra base, Hits like that's 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.600 Not anthony Sonton. Den even with the yellow. Flag we 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.760 were more talking, About, yeah the defense is not something 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.000 that you're going to. Like he's probably not going to 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.920 hit for a very high. Average he's probably going to 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.760 strike out a decent, bit but he's still going to 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.200 slug four sixty to five hundred and give you enough 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.040 value to make you think this contract isn't that. Bad 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.800 that WAS i think our view of, it real. 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:33.760 Walk and that was the. Concerns it was, Like, okay 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.360 he's got to, hit you, know thirty plus homers to 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.080 get that ops to the high seven. Hundreds but again 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.280 thought he could do something close to. 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.000 That and the offense has been leading this, team but 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.720 they've also gotten some excellent pitching, performances both in the 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.320 bullpen and the starting, rotation and they have been one 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.920 of the better pitching staffs in baseball Since may, First, 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.080 wow and been one of the better bullpens Without Jeff. 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.480 Hoffman Jeff hoffman Since may first has thrown fourteen, Innings 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.480 he's got a ten point four to THREE era and 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.160 another great reliever that they have or at least he's 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.760 been in the. Past Chad green has also been one 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.040 of their worst pitchers with a four to seven. Zero 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.040 But Yarijo rodriguez has found a home in this bullpen 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.360 in fifteen appearances over nineteen and two, thirds he's got 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.640 a one to three. Seven Brendan little can basically say 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.200 the same thing with a one five to. Nine Eric 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.320 lauer has entered this rotation and dominated to a one 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.440 six foury E raa in twenty two, innings And Jose 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.480 brios is Doing jose brio shit and they're the eight 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.840 innings to a two seven, Seven. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.480 And they're doing that With Bouten francis basically being a 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.400 third down puns every single, time And. 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:43.320 Jeff hoffman even. 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:48.640 Worse, yeah also time Out Alantro kirk with two. STRIKES 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.280 i know you said the, ops but he's slashing three 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.200 point fifty four three ninety, eight four ninety five with two. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:16:00.120 Strikes he's. Unbelievable he's. UNBELIEVABLE i DON'T i don't. Understand i'm, 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.560 MIGHT i might just it's peak male. Performance I'm i'm. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:10.720 Sorry Blue Jays toronto. Everything also The Max chercher's thumb 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.840 once he deems it good to. Go that's he can't. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.520 Be he cannot be worse than doubt In. FRANCIS i 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:22.840 PROMISE i. WOULD i would guarantee. That and THEN i 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.400 think at some point this year we're gonna get the 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.560 the return Of Alec. Manoa that'll be an interesting scenario. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:34.480 There and also it's trickled. DOWN i was ready to 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.760 jump ship on Our Elvis martinez fully AND i kind 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.040 of did when we did Our Blue jays.

SIXTEEN i was about to pull it. 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.520 Up he had homered four times in three, games and 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:59.000 then since then he's oh for his last. Fifteen but 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.240 he was doing. Stuff Could TREY. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:02.360 A savage helped this team this? 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:07.320 Year, Yes so That's i'm glad you mentioned. That, ALSO 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:11.240 i was just catching up With Joey lil brafdo horrible first. 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.080 Month he has been going nuts and triple as over 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:15.560 the Let it's. 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.800 Amazing In toronto right. Now and they were also LIKE 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.080 jacki even mentioned he was like they built a barrier In, 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.719 toronto like once you go, there it's a graveyard for other. 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.240 Teams The Blue jays are one of the best home 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:25.600 teams in. 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.399 Baseball it's incredibly. Fast twenty five games for Liw braffito 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.160 three twenty, six, four twenty, three four eighty five or forty. Three, 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.359 uh it's a nine oh six oh. Ps so like 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.280 even some guys that they could potentially move for more 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.679 pitching if they wanted. To, You, savage, though to answer your, 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.840 question people might be, like, oh but he started in 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.480 Low a and like you, know he was there for six. 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.840 Starts no way they're they're gonna be so bullish that 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.320 they bring him up to the big. Leags, NO i 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:48.920 think you're about to see this thing going to hyper. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.159 Drive they wanted to be careful with, You. Savage have 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.480 him pitch in warm. Weather there's no bigger. GAP i 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.720 think geographically from one like Low way To High a 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:03.760 then Dunn, Eeden florida To, Vancouver. Canada like so they 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.719 didn't really want, You. SAVAGE i think throwing in the 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.040 cold early in the, year so far away from the 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.879 complex so, like, dude you're gonna Dominate HIGH a hitters 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:13.560 OR loway hitters the same, thing you might as well 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.879 just be focusing on yourself and your. Stuff so he 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.040 made more starts at low way than people would have. 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.159 Expected then he only needed to make four starts In 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.679 HIGH a where they're like all, right seen, enough and 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.439 he's already up in Double SO i think WHEN i 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.879 wrote up my draft report on, HIM i, SAID i 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.800 think he could be the first, arm you, know from 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:33.480 that draft into the big. LEAGUES i think there's still 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.200 a chance that he could be one of the first 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.960 guys up, there AND i wouldn't rule out him getting 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:38.720 up there to help them this. 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:43.639 Year, Interesting so The Blue, jays The Blue jays are freaking. 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:48.600 Awesome so, Yeah i'm just gonna totally upend EVERYTHING i said. 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.280 Before maybe they Get Jimmy garcia, back you, Know Nick 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.000 sandlin in the bullpen as, Well like all of a, 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:57.240 sudden they've got some more, options so they're gonna be 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:58.440 buyers and. 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.680 They can make the. PLAYOFFS i, mean The American league, 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.520 stinks it. DOES i, mean you, know it's like one 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.960 team goes on a little bit of a run and 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:08.920 they're automatically one of the best teams in The American. 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.359 League The ashers are playing great. Baseball they're now the 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.400 third favorite to win The American League pennant just because 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:15.880 they won a few games in a row and they've 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.920 been playing good. Baseball i'm not trying to take anything 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:21.240 away from. Them it's just to show that The American 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.800 league is so wide. OPEN i, mean nobody in The 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.480 central outside of The tigers has really taken hold The 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.159 American League. EAST i, mean The Blue jays are in, 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.000 second The rays are playing, okay The Red sox are 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:32.720 not playing all that, well and we know what's happening 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.359 with The. Orioles The mariners are on a. Slide The 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.800 rangers are below The, angels The Blue. Jays The Blue 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:40.320 jays might be the first team with the wild. Card 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:40.840 they could make some. 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:44.399 Noise why. NOT i just feel Like i'm just like, 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.800 AGAIN i feel like The Mike Francis laudhouse clips where 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:49.320 it's just like if you just paired WHAT i said 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.280 like two weeks ago against The Blue jays about The 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.240 Blue jays against What i'm saying, NOW i just be 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.320 arguing with. Myself BUT i, mean that's, baseball, though it's so. Fluid, 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.680 also just to If Blue jays fans are is feeling super, 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.399 Giddy i'll give you one more positive on our top one. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.520 Hundred one of the biggest risers Was argienamala from ninety 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.320 seven to. FIFTY i think so like it's it's all 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.400 of a sudden positive times with The Blue jays over? 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.120 Here is it time to Extend Ross. 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.040 Atkins let's not get carried. 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.639 Away get carried away all, Right let's go over to 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:24.680 The Chicago. Cubs and when you Think Chicago, cubs you think, 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.560 offense and you think about a couple of really good 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:31.680 starting pitching performances, lately and what you don't think about 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:33.520 is the. Bullpen and what have we been talking about 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.199 all season? Long cubs got to upgrade this. Bullpen that 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:39.680 is the one major hole in this. TEAM i think 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.400 they felt. Disrespected they have been just dominating since Since may, 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.520 first The Chicago cubs bullpen has a two to FIVE 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:50.760 era ranks number one in, baseball one point zero nine 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:55.040 whip second In Major League, baseball and they've only blown 0:20:55.560 --> 0:21:00.680 one save that is the least in. Baseball, again Since may, 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:07.119 first rum they have four relievers who haven't allowed a 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:10.200 run Since may?

Allowed and that last. 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:21.119 Guy so it Was Chris flex And Drew, Pomeranz Caleb 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:27.919 thielbar And Brad, keller just the four. Horsemen here's the, problem, 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:31.760 though here's support a little water on. This there's one 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:37.159 guy in this bullpen averaging more than nine, strikeouts more 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:39.640 than a, Strikeout, Perenny what you don't like getting? Outs 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:41.000 you're not a fan of grounders and. 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:45.160 FLYOUTS i prefer my my at least a couple big wiff. 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:48.760 GUYS i mean they GOT i mean this is super. Encouraging, Again, 0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:51.840 daniel revolving door of middle relief. Guys it. 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.720 Is but those revolving door guys are. Awesome, now, yeah 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:59.280 like you were, right except the door is not. Revolving 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:01.359 they're mainstays and they're. Shoving. 0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:07.000 Yep SO i mean it's it's. WILD i do you 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:07.840 think it continues? 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:12.920 THOUGH i, mean DO i Think caleb Thielbar Drew, Pomeranz 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.760 Chris flex And Brad keller start allowing rudds? Eventually, NO i. 0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.719 DON'T i think it's gonna be. Incredible, NO i mean they. 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:22.919 Are The cubs need to bolster their. Bullpen but in 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:28.280 a time where you Lost, Steel shoda is still not back, 0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:33.000 yet you need them to come through for you in 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.920 the meantime until you get to the, Deadline like can 0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:40.960 they withstand the heat Until Jed hoyer is able to 0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:43.320 go get bullpen. Arms, YES i, do and that's all 0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:46.159 they need because the offense is so good and the 0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:49.679 starting rotation is pretty damn. SOLID i, Mean Kate horton 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:51.439 is still trying to settle in a little. Bit you 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:53.960 See Colin ray start to regress a little. Bit and 0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:55.480 then WHEN i look at the bullpen and the only 0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:57.879 guy who hasn't been any good Is Ryan, presley like 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:02.360 a guy that they brought in so ALMOST i don't 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:05.640 Want Jed hoyer going after like good relievers get the 0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:08.399 worst guys in the world who are old as. 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:11.439 Shit they're all like thirty eight thirty seven. Too this 0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:14.800 reminds me of like twenty Seventeen marlins that people were 0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:18.240 talking About Marlins fnce for saying, like, oh, yeah you, 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:19.879 know the rotation has always been an issue with the 0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.359 yell At, stanton you, KNOW i was doing the Room utah. 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:25.960 Teams so they decided to build a super, pen and 0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:31.960 by super, pen it Was Jeni chizawa and who was 0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:35.439 horrible in a thirty seven year old brad. Zieglor it 0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:38.919 turned out to not be a super. Pen BUT i 0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:42.080 THINK i think this is there's more options. Here there's 0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:44.320 of these older. Guys there's a lot of, options and 0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:47.040 then of course they're gonna go get get a leverage 0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:50.120 arm at some, POINT i. Think but the big part 0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:52.080 is they needed guys that could even just get them to. 0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:54.280 LEVERAGE i didn't think they even had that at points 0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:57.080 going into this. Year so they clearly have, That and 0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:59.679 and that's a really encouraging aspect of this. 0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:02.119 Whole do you think that The cubs bullpen has the 0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:08.600 earliest bedtime among any unit in? Baseball very. 0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.320 Possible they need to Add kakuchi to that bullpen so 0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:13.960 to really push it across the finish. 0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:16.440 Line, well, no Isn't isn't he not an early bedtime. 0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:18.639 Guy he's just when he goes to, bed he's waking 0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:19.680 up about an hour before the. 0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.720 Game when you sleep fifteen, hours you're you're you're going 0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:24.000 to bed early and you're sleeping in. 0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:27.639 Late it's still one of my favorite. Stories it's since 0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:30.320 we start, covering since we started doing The Just Baseball, 0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.040 show that you Say kauchi sleeves like twelve to fifteen 0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:34.400 hours a, Night, well it. 0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.040 Was awesome because, like, yeah he struggled today because he 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:38.119 only got nine. 0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:43.760 Hours, yeah it's, like what are you A. Toddler it's. 0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:45.760 Sick he's recovering like none, other. 0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:48.359 And he's just coming off a pretty damn good. Performance all, 0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:54.160 right next one. Up Matt chapman unfortunately got. Injured And Patrick, 0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:58.080 lyons WHO i think is such a phenomenal, writer he 0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:01.000 just wrote up The giants Note, book which is a 0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:04.280 bunch of different notes On, Chapman Willia, damez And Casey, 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.560 schmidt and he was there to kind of break it. 0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:10.840 Down So chapman was placed on the ten day injured 0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:15.200 list for right hand inflammation On, tuesday retroactive To june. 0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:19.600 Ninth diving back to first base On, sunday he jammed 0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:22.160 his throwing. Hand but the tough, GUY i, mean he's 0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:24.840 stayed in the, game but the injury clearly got to 0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:28.159 a point where he couldn't stomach. It and then Manager 0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:31.520 Bob melvin said On, tuesday AND i quote from the, 0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:34.320 article how long it's going to be is still to be. 0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:37.960 Determined he's going to see Doctor Stephen shin On friday IN. 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:41.360 La we'll have a better idea on how far it's 0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:44.400 going to, be but it could be more than ten. 0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:48.399 Days not ideal for A giants team that is looking for. 0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:51.960 Bats but at the same time that great comeback Against 0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:55.040 colorado On, tuesday and they have won six straight as 0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:56.840 we are. Recording we'll see if they push it to 0:27:56.920 --> 0:28:00.879 seven against The rockies. Again Casey, schmidt your guys about 0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.520 to fill. In what do you think when you hear THIS, O. 0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:06.919 Well i'm happy For. Casey the one thing that no 0:28:06.920 --> 0:28:09.680 one's going to be able to match the defense of 0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:12.160 A Matt. Chapman but at least what you're gonna plug 0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:14.040 in a guy at third base who can really pick, 0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:15.320 it you. KNOW i, mean this is a guy that 0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:19.359 was a third baseman in college and is so good 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:22.919 defensively that they've stuck him at shortstop a lot in 0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:25.040 his big league career so, far which IS i think 0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:27.280 something that he didn't have a ton of experience, doing 0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:29.879 SO i think playing a regular third, base he's going 0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.880 to grade out much better than the overall defensive numbers 0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:35.600 have probably shown this. Far definitely excited about that side of, 0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:39.320 things but there's no doubting the offensive hit that they take, 0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.000 there BECAUSE i, MEAN i just look straight To Willia 0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:45.240 domis AND i, say like it's time to get going, 0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:47.600 Now like you got to really really get going here 0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:51.480 because he needs to pick up the. Slack you look 0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:53.600 across the rest of the. Lineup you Know ramos is 0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:55.440 going to do his. Thing you Know Jung hooley's going 0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:57.600 to do his, thing and you Know Wilmer flores is 0:28:57.840 --> 0:28:59.600 going to give, you you, know solid power here and. 0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:01.440 There but who else is gonna step? 0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:01.600 Up? 0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.520 Right LIKE i know that they moved off Of Lamont, 0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:08.040 leay is Dom smith gonna be much of a, Difference, 0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:11.280 like uh, Yes scramski's a league average. Hitter who is 0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:13.560 going to pick up the? Slack it has to Be 0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:16.600 Willia Domis and that's WHERE i look. There but then you, 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.000 KNOW i think you look at A Casey schmidt and 0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:19.200 just if he can give you a close to the 0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:21.320 league average offense and pick it well at, third it's 0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:24.520 gonna help hold it. Down but someone needs to fill 0:29:24.520 --> 0:29:26.640 in on what was you, KNOW i think some of 0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:29.080 their best production and one of the few guys in 0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.560 that lineup THAT i think you can you can fear 0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:32.840 at points from a power. 0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:36.880 Perspective to quantify the slack that The giants are gonna 0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:39.480 have to pick. Up Since may, First chapman has a 0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:42.400 one forty NINE wrc plus second on the team To 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:45.200 Elliott ramos while leading the team in f war and 0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:48.080 hitting seven home. Runs he was playing, great and he 0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.920 has just been playing, Great like he's signed with The, 0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:56.600 giants and you think to, yourself huge, ballpark probably just 0:29:56.640 --> 0:30:00.000 going to maybe not finish out his, career but probably 0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.680 just take a step back, offensively. 0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:04.240 Kind of be like What aeronato is now a little. 0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:06.800 Exactly but instead he has been one of the best 0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:09.680 third basement in baseball and then's just continued that this. 0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:12.640 Year so this is a big. Hole AND i love 0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:14.880 the point that you were talking About. Adams it has 0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:18.800 to be. HIM i, mean you signed a huge contract 0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:21.920 this offseason a couple of months to kind of get yourself. 0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:24.520 Settled he did hit a big home run On. Tuesday 0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.080 again it's against The, rockies so it's, like but. 0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:29.760 You cannot get him to come back against The rockies 0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:33.000 or is an evading? DEFEAT i mean The rockies did 0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:33.360 try and. 0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:34.080 Lose that is. 0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:36.360 Accurate like they remind me of The South park episode 0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:38.280 where like none of the kids want to play, baseball 0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:40.840 so they both try to, lose and they're like playing each, 0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:42.760 other trying to lose against each. Other so they don't 0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.320 have to play baseball. Anymore like that's The. 0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:49.560 Rockies feel like your, Guy Zach Agnes zira is. 0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:55.560 Climbing don't, worry my, Guy we'll lock, in don't you. 0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:59.400 Worry so after the, break we are going to talk 0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:03.719 about one of the greatest reliever seasons potentially ever and 0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:06.280 he's on The Colorado.

Trend But Jake, Bird Jake Freaking, 0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:09.040 bird an elite reliever coming off two perfect innings against 0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:12.400 The giants On, tuesday with five, strikeouts lowering HIS era 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:15.560 to one four to. One he has thrown twenty two 0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:18.360 innings At Coors field this. Year did you see my? 0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:20.120 Tweet do you know how many earn runs he's allowed 0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:20.800 at home this? Year? 0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:22.560 NO i didn't see that. 0:33:23.040 --> 0:33:28.160 One what one earned run at? Home two? Runs technically 0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:31.440 only one of them has been. Earned it's like a 0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:35.400 zero FOUR, era and it isn't really. 0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.520 Last time out two, innings perfect five. 0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:43.200 Case, yeah he was dominant against The giants and it isn't. 0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:45.560 Luck he's got a two five three EXPECTED. Era will 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.640 striking out thirty three percent of batters start throwing his 0:33:48.720 --> 0:33:51.160 slider as his main. Offering opponents are only hitting one 0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:54.400 fifty nine against, it throwing at forty percent of the. 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:57.000 TIME i, mean everybody's going to be calling The rockies 0:33:57.960 --> 0:33:59.680 to get him at the. Deadline but let's say The 0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:02.400 rocky don't trade. Him he can be going for. History 0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:06.320 ARM i went down a rabbit Hole Steve reid in 0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:09.200 nineteen ninety, five AND i have no idea who that is. 0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:12.480 Me neither pitched to a two one FOUR era and 0:34:12.520 --> 0:34:15.560 eighty four innings in The rockies. Bullpen he made seventy 0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:18.880 one appearances for a two point fifty ONE era, plus 0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:22.480 which again, REMINDER era plus is graded on a one 0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:26.200 hundred scale kind of LIKE wrc. Plus it's park. Adjusted 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:30.480 it's also era, adjusted so you can compare players across different. 0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:35.320 Eras Jake bird has a three twenty SEVEN era plus 0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:40.920 that is two hundred and twenty seven percent better than 0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:43.759 a league average. Pitcher that mark would be tied for 0:34:43.800 --> 0:34:48.480 the eighth BEST era plus IN mlb, history and in 0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:52.160 the twenty first, century the best mark Is Paedro martitez 0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:55.800 two thousand with a two ninety ONE era Plus because 0:34:55.840 --> 0:35:00.080 obviously pitching a corps field is really really, difficult and 0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.279 when you justed for the park in the Era Jake 0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:04.719 bird is legitimately putting up right now one of the 0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:06.719 greatest pitching seasons we have ever seen in the boot. 0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:09.200 Butt if you if you look at the only home 0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:11.160 run he's allowed to the one To Matt, chapman it 0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:14.000 was it was A Grand slam on On may, third 0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:18.480 that would like it shows four hundred and two feet center, 0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:21.080 field like if it was at it wasn't At Course, 0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:22.920 FIELD i would imagine Because i'm looking at it on 0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:26.399 the map Of Course field and it would have held 0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:29.719 it obviously what it probably carried more as. Well but, 0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:32.200 yeah that's. It the only home run he gave up 0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:36.160 was is a grand slam To Matt chapman ironically to 0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:38.880 tie a bow on the. Conversation But I'm i'm fascinated 0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:41.680 on how many times he has struck out like the 0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:45.440 side and he's had two outings this year where he's 0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:53.440 pitched multiple innings and struck out. Five that is. Disgusting this, 0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:56.880 yeah this is this is really. Fascinating how much control 0:35:56.920 --> 0:36:00.120 does he? Out they should just extend him, Now, like 0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:01.759 if you found a guy that can pitch, there give 0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:04.319 him a ten year. Deal he's twenty, nine give him 0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:07.919 The bogarts. Deal just a two million Aav let's See 0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:11.440 Jake bird spa track's what's the contract situation here for my? 0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:15.279 Guy three more years of control after this. ONE i, 0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:17.400 Mean i'm sure teams are gonna be calling. Left oh 0:36:17.480 --> 0:36:19.560 Yeah themage just hold on to. 0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:22.000 HIM i kind of want him to hold on to. 0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:23.279 HIM i want to shoot he make. 0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:26.160 History, yes, yeah because that it would be harder to 0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:30.759 maintain that. Era plus, also they held on To Jacob 0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:33.400 stallings last year at the deadline when he was playing 0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:35.880 really well and then so that they could resign him 0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:39.480 and bring him, back and then they just released. Him 0:36:39.640 --> 0:36:40.920 welcome To Rockies, baseball. 0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:44.799 BABY i know you Mentioned. Bogarts we have a couple 0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:47.080 other topics to get. To do you want to talk 0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:48.399 about him for a little bit or do you want 0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:50.040 to save that for more of a deeper dive next? 0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:53.120 Episode deeper dive next, episode BECAUSE i want to go 0:36:53.160 --> 0:36:55.640 deeper into. That it is. Fascinating there's a quick teaser on. 0:36:55.680 --> 0:37:00.000 That it's just Like bogart's he's against ninety four fastball 0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:03.520 ninety four plus he has an ops below five, hundred 0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:06.160 put an in zone contact rate of ninety six, percent 0:37:06.600 --> 0:37:09.160 and a ninety Percent Alex vossie one hundred and. Six 0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:11.719 so some people might, say, oh, well then it's gonna get. 0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:15.160 RIGHT i don't, know, actually because somehow still the contact 0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:17.719 quality is. Bad SO i need to dive deeper into. 0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:19.799 This but it basically seems like the harder he hits the, 0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:22.000 ball the lower the launch angle. Goes so it's just 0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:25.279 like this horrible tipping. Point But I'm i'm excited to 0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:28.240 dive deeper into that and hopefully he can get right because. 0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:30.720 You're saying the harder it's it's on the. Ground. 0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:33.640 Yeah, basically the harder he hits the, ball the more 0:37:33.800 --> 0:37:36.480 straight into the ground it. Goes and then high the 0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:39.040 higher the launch, angle the softer the. Contact so when 0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:41.200 you hear one oh, five that's just on the. Ground 0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:43.719 so it's not really helping. Him, no, yeah, yeah it's not. 0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:45.919 Happening so we'll do a deeper dive into that. Later 0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:49.240 anything else On Jake bird greatest reliever maybe, ever. 0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:50.799 That definitely is an underrated. 0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:54.040 Story, also how About Steve, REID i, mean don't like 0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:57.680 two point. FOUR i was looking at Best rockies relievers. 0:37:57.680 --> 0:38:01.200 EVER i was, like oh, Yeah Houston, Street Rafael Betton, 0:38:01.320 --> 0:38:03.759 court these guys are pretty. Good none of them have 0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:07.000 been even close To Jake bird this. SEASON i mean it's, early, 0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:10.399 right we're recording Got jude. Eleventh but it's. Fun it's 0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:12.000 fun to look at these types of things that just 0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:15.239 keep tracking him because on potentially the worst team ever 0:38:15.400 --> 0:38:19.200 in all professional, sports they could have just this diamond 0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:21.840 in the rough who while the rest of the bullpen 0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:24.319 arms are giving up nine runs and the defense isn't helping, 0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:29.360 Him he's just dominating and he's not even allowing the 0:38:29.400 --> 0:38:32.920 defense to hurt him because he strikes out. Everybody it's actually, 0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:35.840 Crazy it's. Incredible all, Right let's move on to another 0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:41.040 lesser Known arm who's also, Shoving Shane smith of The 0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:46.439 Chicago White sox and his two three seven Era it's 0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:51.080 thirteenth among all, starters coming off of six, inning one 0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:54.319 run performance against The astros where The White sox. Won 0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:56.640 and now The White sox have a winning record In 0:38:56.719 --> 0:38:59.120 june against The, tigers The boys. 0:38:59.800 --> 0:39:02.800 Or the hat? Today, SORRY i think the pope was 0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:03.799 wearing A White sox hat. 0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:08.160 Today it's coming up All White, sox. Baby, yeah winning 0:39:08.200 --> 0:39:10.600 record In june again against The, Tigers, roles And. Astros 0:39:10.640 --> 0:39:14.600 But i'm, curious because you, know you're evaluating these guys as, 0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:18.040 prospects And Shane smith is new to the. Scene did 0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:20.360 you see this? COMING i, mean it was got to 0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:22.640 be impossible to see this coming when evaluating him as a. 0:39:22.680 --> 0:39:26.120 Prospect just title this, Episode arm Is. WASHED i didn't 0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:27.800 even have. HIM i didn't even have him in My 0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:31.480 rule five, preview AND i should have because he went first, 0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.560 obviously but, like he just wasn't one of the top. 0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:36.120 ARMS i legitimately remember getting to the bottom of, it being, 0:39:36.160 --> 0:39:38.480 like there's a few other. ARMS i was a guy 0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:41.440 they probably could get. SELECTED i don't need to write up. 0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:44.520 ANYMORE i wrote up like twenty. Plus the crazy thing 0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:47.640 About Shane smith is what would you say his best? 0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:54.359 Pitches he doesn't. LIKE i wouldn't say that he has 0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:56.239 the best. PITCH i think they all just kind of 0:39:56.280 --> 0:39:56.680 work well. 0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:58.840 Together, yes so that's part of it, where, yeah you 0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:01.319 just have this arsenal cross the board guys like. That 0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:05.000 one fastball needs to be pretty. Good the fastballs ticked 0:40:05.080 --> 0:40:07.000 up a full mile per, hour actually closer to one 0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:08.640 point five from where it was at in the minor 0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:11.719 leagues last. Year he didn't even have a change up 0:40:11.920 --> 0:40:14.360 last year that he really relied on at. All he 0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:16.840 almost never threw. It so a guy that like is 0:40:16.840 --> 0:40:20.400 going to attack you with four different, offerings, well the 0:40:20.440 --> 0:40:22.560 fastball wasn't as good and he didn't even have that fourth, 0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:27.240 offering and then he has just totally adjusted the breaking 0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:29.920 balls to where they're they're looking completely. Different but the 0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:32.040 CHANGEUP i think has been huge for. Him he's throwing 0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:34.040 at like twenty two percent of the time and opponents 0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:36.399 are hitting one to eleven against. IT i think from 0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:39.440 like a production, standpoint you could maybe argue that the 0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:42.879 change up is his best pitch and he didn't even 0:40:42.880 --> 0:40:45.800 have it last, year so that that has been a 0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:48.960 huge aspect of, this this whole. Thing but then you, 0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:53.360 know throwing the slider about three ticks harder is, crazy 0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:56.560 like three full ticks. Harder and THEN i don't know 0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:58.680 where he went somewhere like he, went whether it was 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:00.680 maybe The White sox And Brian, bannison which like that's 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:02.080 the one THING i will give The White sox credit. 0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:04.520 For they do get their arms, Right, like at least 0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:07.080 they do seem to develop arms a little bit better 0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:09.600 than everything. Else whether it was The White sox or 0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:12.520 Drive line or wherever the hell he, went he definitely 0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:15.920 went to a pitch lab of some sorts and just 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:19.880 like redefined his entire. Arsenal and it's it's night and. 0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:21.239 Day it's really cool to. 0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:24.080 SEE i, mean he's a twenty five year old who's 0:41:24.120 --> 0:41:26.799 six foot three two and forty. POUNDS i, mean this 0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:29.120 is a building block for The White Sox and you, 0:41:29.160 --> 0:41:31.560 know when you're writing up their, system what do you 0:41:31.640 --> 0:41:34.520 think the rotation looks, Like let's say twenty twenty. 0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:37.719 Seven, well it's interesting because they just fast Tracked Grant, 0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:39.560 taylor WHO i you, know he was gonna be on 0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:41.360 the top of one hundred, list just fell out of 0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:43.960 the top one hundred because of the move to the. 0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:46.920 Bullpen but they moved to the bullpen and he's throwing 0:41:47.120 --> 0:41:50.080 one hundred and. Two but ride and like it could 0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:53.160 be kind of This Mason miller starter kit type of situation, 0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:56.480 there so you move him. There it's been a frustrating 0:41:56.560 --> 0:42:00.000 year from the two lefties when you'll Get Noah schultz's 0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:02.319 has not been as good as you'd hope he's been. 0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:05.040 Fine And Hagan, smith you, KNOW i think he's dealing 0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:07.600 with injury and it was obviously really rough from a 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:10.239 strike throwing perspective. BEFORE i still think you bake those 0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:13.719 guys into the conversation as soon as next, year you 0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:17.720 figure they can get right that rotation with A Shane, 0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:20.600 smith who you need that like, consistency, RIGHT i think 0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:23.200 you need like a higher floor guy when you have 0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:25.720 the higher steiling guys that you're mixing in. There Davis 0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:28.560 martin looks like he can potentially be another Ending zeter for. 0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:31.080 THEM i wonder THEN i think you wouldn't look at the, 0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:35.960 Creator Davis. Martin they could Trade Davis. Martin, yeah he's twenty. 0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:39.640 EIGHT i, honestly with the emergence Of Shane, SMITH i 0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:42.560 don't hate that idea at. All you move, him BUT 0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:44.320 i think you look at the rotation in the, future 0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:47.560 It's Hagan smith hopefully in. There there is the bullpen, 0:42:47.640 --> 0:42:50.640 risk but The Noah schultzen there as, Well like that 0:42:50.800 --> 0:42:53.919 is a fun rotation that can get strong pretty. Soon 0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:57.080 you're gonna Get Drew thorpe back off OF. Tj you 0:42:57.160 --> 0:42:59.319 hope that wilcome And gonzalez starts throwing more, strikes but 0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:00.960 they have a lot Of if it doesn't work out 0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:03.440 in the, rotation they have great upside as, relievers so 0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:05.560 they're going to just have a lot of. Arms and 0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:06.319 THEN i think is really. 0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:10.359 Exciting And, Taylor i'm Sure White sox fans listening to, 0:43:10.360 --> 0:43:12.960 this like their the hairs on their forms just stood 0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:15.120 up a little bit when you Said Mason miller starter, 0:43:15.239 --> 0:43:17.520 kit and it is A Mason miller starter. Kit the 0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:21.520 guy throws. Gas BUT i am, curious AND i even 0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:25.680 Saw Elijah evans post this On. Twitter would you rather 0:43:25.800 --> 0:43:30.120 have a lockdown leverage, reliever WHICH i think he can. Be, 0:43:30.200 --> 0:43:32.400 LIKE i don't Think elijah's overstepping that this stuff is 0:43:32.440 --> 0:43:37.799 outrageous or potentially a high risk number two starter just 0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:40.400 because this stuff is so, good but you don't know 0:43:40.520 --> 0:43:44.160 exactly how it's going to transition to five to six 0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:48.200 innings every. Night, yeah they have interesting decisions to, make 0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:50.279 but it's the first time in a while where they 0:43:50.280 --> 0:43:50.880 have irons in the. 0:43:50.920 --> 0:43:52.879 Fire. Yeah, well and it could be like that CROW 0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:54.480 i was talking about it With elijah, actually like it 0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:57.640 could be that crochet path where, Like, okay you've got 0:43:57.680 --> 0:43:59.799 the reliever, now and then if you think that the 0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:02.719 man has come long, enough you can then maybe bring 0:44:02.800 --> 0:44:06.239 him back into the. Rotation my concern is that there's 0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:07.800 a lot of effort in the. DELIVERY i noticed that 0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:09.120 even WHEN i saw him in the airs on a fall, 0:44:09.200 --> 0:44:12.840 league AND i have a really high confidence interval in 0:44:12.920 --> 0:44:15.920 him being a good leverage ON i can see the 0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:18.960 number two. Upside but with the confidence interval, dips even 0:44:19.000 --> 0:44:20.520 just on the pitching ability on top of the fact 0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:22.680 that you can, pound then some injury risk as well 0:44:22.680 --> 0:44:25.920 that goes with, That AND i can kind of understand 0:44:26.360 --> 0:44:28.520 the relief side of. Things now in the short term 0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:31.839 and just getting him up there and then maybe they 0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:33.719 feel like that can help him eventually get back into the. 0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:37.359 Rotation but at FIRST i was a little bit, apprehensive 0:44:37.520 --> 0:44:39.040 but the MORE i just continue to watch, HIM i 0:44:39.040 --> 0:44:42.440 can understand the delivery kind of screams Reliever and if 0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:44.600 you're getting, YEAH i, Mean Mason miller was a guy, 0:44:44.600 --> 0:44:46.480 that like they had to make that decision to move 0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:49.200 him to the bullpen right because of some injuries and 0:44:49.360 --> 0:44:51.319 also just BECAUSE i think wanting to get the most 0:44:51.320 --> 0:44:53.520 out of. Him and it's clearly helped mitigate the injuries 0:44:54.120 --> 0:44:57.400 and clearly it's turned him into a more valuable. Asset 0:44:57.520 --> 0:45:00.319 so that's obviously the highest end, outcome but if it's 0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:02.760 anything close to that and you have a higher confidence 0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:05.440 interval of that, HAPPENING i can understand the. 0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:08.880 Move let's move over To Will. Smith so we talked 0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:13.719 about on THE La dodgers of, course talked about some underrated. 0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:16.080 Storyline so that's what we've been doing this entire. Episode 0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:20.279 and you may Think Will smith, underrated but have you 0:45:20.480 --> 0:45:23.040 has anyone checked in On Will smith outside Of dodger, 0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:25.920 Fans because he's the sixth best hitter in, baseball AND 0:45:25.920 --> 0:45:26.640 i feel like nobody. 0:45:26.640 --> 0:45:29.399 Cares, yeah that's a good. POINT i don't hear anything about. 0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.080 IT i honestly didn't even realize he was that. 0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:35.120 Good he's hitting three twenty with a one sixty THREE 0:45:35.160 --> 0:45:38.560 wrc plus and a nine to twenty six. Ohps he's 0:45:38.600 --> 0:45:40.440 got the highest walk rate of his career at fifteen. 0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:43.880 Percent he's hitting the ball harder than ever, before incredible 0:45:43.960 --> 0:45:48.080 numbers against breaking pitches when he's known to be a fastball, 0:45:48.160 --> 0:45:53.200 hitter and another interesting, stat pulling flyballs at the lowest 0:45:53.239 --> 0:45:55.360 rate of his, career which you wouldn't expect for a 0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:58.239 guy who's putting up his best offensive season to. Date 0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:01.200 and this is a great owing trend now With Will 0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:04.880 smith That i've been incredibly impressed. With and that's why you, 0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:06.960 know everyone's stamping Col rawley is the best catcher in, 0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:09.759 baseball and how could you not he. Is BUT i 0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:12.440 just always want to continue to Put Will smith in 0:46:12.480 --> 0:46:16.360 these categories BECAUSE i feel like he improves on something every. 0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:21.040 YEAR i remember When Will smith first came, up he destroyed. 0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:24.440 Velocity the harder you, threw the harder he hit the. 0:46:24.440 --> 0:46:27.480 Ball breaking balls would get him, though and, defensively he 0:46:27.520 --> 0:46:30.960 was a work in. Progress wasn't receiving the ball very, 0:46:30.960 --> 0:46:35.720 well not a great, ball, yeah and they were stealing 0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:40.400 on him all the. Time and then the defense started 0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:44.240 to improve and right now he's an above average. Receiver 0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:47.640 he's got a good pop time as, well now grading 0:46:47.680 --> 0:46:52.319 out wise. Metrically not a great, blocker we'll. See but 0:46:52.880 --> 0:46:54.520 the main point of What i'm trying to say is 0:46:54.520 --> 0:46:58.239 that Will smith improves year over. Year and this is 0:46:58.280 --> 0:47:02.360 another improvement for Will smith because he's always crushed, fastballs 0:47:02.560 --> 0:47:05.320 and year over year he's gotten better against breaking. Balls 0:47:05.640 --> 0:47:08.200 but this, year, arm do you have the numbers pulled 0:47:08.280 --> 0:47:11.600 up about how prolific he has been against off speed. 0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:14.480 PITCHES i just remember this from doing the research. Before 0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:17.120 he's sitting over four hundred against changeups and. 0:47:17.120 --> 0:47:20.239 Splitters so what's interesting, is you, know you mentioned the 0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:22.640 airpole side of, things and like people always talk about 0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:24.719 how air pole is king and, LIKE i could do 0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:26.920 a WHOLE i could do a whole episode on. THAT 0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:28.400 i was actually talking about it in the discord a 0:47:28.440 --> 0:47:30.920 little bit as to like why it can be really 0:47:30.920 --> 0:47:34.960 helpful for guys and also it can be something that 0:47:35.160 --> 0:47:37.400 is a give and take, right BECAUSE i think for 0:47:37.480 --> 0:47:39.759 guys that are on the low end of contact rates 0:47:39.760 --> 0:47:41.600 who could have Beat Ron, armstrong you want to get 0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:43.200 the most out of the times that you are making. 0:47:43.239 --> 0:47:45.600 Contact if you're not putting up a leade a lead 0:47:45.600 --> 0:47:47.680 to lead exit, velocities you want to have a really 0:47:47.760 --> 0:47:50.359 high air pole because the times that you are making, 0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:52.680 contact you wanted to leave the yard or have a 0:47:52.719 --> 0:47:55.560 high expected. Slug on the flip, side if you're a 0:47:55.560 --> 0:47:59.040 guy that's hit over, power but it's way skewed towards 0:47:59.120 --> 0:48:01.320 hit over, power like the ray evs aren't that. Great 0:48:01.719 --> 0:48:03.880 being able to pull the ball in the air consistently 0:48:04.200 --> 0:48:05.839 is going to help you slug more than the eggs 0:48:05.840 --> 0:48:09.040 of velocities would. IMPLY i Like isak perettis. Right so 0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:11.759 that's why you have two guys on opposite ends of 0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:14.920 the hit tool spectrum that are you know and approach 0:48:14.960 --> 0:48:18.719 spectrum that are both benefiting from. Airpole but if you're 0:48:18.719 --> 0:48:21.480 somewhere in the, MIDDLE i think it can sometimes be 0:48:21.560 --> 0:48:24.839 detrimental to to pursue it because if you are really 0:48:24.840 --> 0:48:26.600 trying to do that and you're you, know above average 0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:28.440 hit above average, power and its kind of the above 0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:32.040 above average across the. Board that desire to get to 0:48:32.120 --> 0:48:33.879 airpole can can cause you to be in and out 0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:36.200 of the zone a little bit more than you, know 0:48:36.239 --> 0:48:38.440 maybe you would have initially. Been AND i think you're 0:48:38.480 --> 0:48:41.319 seeing A Will smith now who is maybe giving up 0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:43.640 a little bit of the game slug if at, all 0:48:44.440 --> 0:48:47.640 in exchange for staying on pitches, longer maintaining his, direction 0:48:47.920 --> 0:48:49.839 and being able to use the whole. Field and that's 0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:54.520 why against secondaries he's hitting three sixty, four seventy, seven 0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:56.920 five seventy. THREE i basically just queued up everything that's 0:48:56.960 --> 0:48:59.080 not a fast ball and a. Sinker it's a thy 0:48:59.200 --> 0:49:01.879 fifty one Ohp because, again AGAIN i think he's able 0:49:01.920 --> 0:49:04.880 to stay on the ball, longer his path is PROBABLY i, 0:49:04.920 --> 0:49:09.120 think more in the zone earlier and. Later and at 0:49:09.160 --> 0:49:12.680 the same time he's still hitting fastballs pretty, well BUT 0:49:13.360 --> 0:49:16.719 i think in a world where you're seeing fastballs less than, 0:49:16.719 --> 0:49:21.400 ever it was a really smart adjustment By smith to 0:49:21.480 --> 0:49:25.560 be able to account for hitting secondary stuff, better because, 0:49:25.640 --> 0:49:28.120 yeah you mash, fastballs but you're seeing less and less 0:49:28.120 --> 0:49:30.480 fastballs In Major League baseball every single, Year so how 0:49:30.520 --> 0:49:33.239 do you level yourself up by crushing everything else that 0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:34.080 you're gonna see more. 0:49:34.000 --> 0:49:36.840 Of that was a fantastic. Breakdown and you know what 0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:40.239 it makes me think, TOO i, mean beyond the ten 0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:45.400 year contract that he, SIGNED i, Mean Dalton rushing has, gone. 0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:46.279 What do you do with? HIM i have no. 0:49:46.320 --> 0:49:49.560 IDEA i mean you're, like you cannot Take Will smith 0:49:49.600 --> 0:49:50.160 out of the catcher. 0:49:50.200 --> 0:49:50.759 Spot you just. 0:49:50.800 --> 0:49:54.400 Can't and you're contractually obligated to do it, Anyway so 0:49:54.560 --> 0:49:56.560 even if you wanted, to you're paying him all this. 0:49:56.680 --> 0:50:00.880 MONEY i, Mean Dalton rushing could be ANN vp candidate 0:50:01.440 --> 0:50:03.320 and he still wouldn't get this Because Will smith is 0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:07.719 legitimately AN mvp. Candidate. Yeah so it's which makes me 0:50:07.800 --> 0:50:09.960 think he's getting traded for a picture of the deadline 0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:10.719 and probably a big. 0:50:10.760 --> 0:50:15.200 One it's it's it's Giving Michael. Bush it really is 0:50:15.280 --> 0:50:18.160 like where you, know he's just playing so sporadically, rushing 0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:21.520 and you know he. Struggled he has struggled eleven, games 0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:25.200 he's punched out twenty. Times but it's so hard when 0:50:25.520 --> 0:50:28.680 you're playing every few days and you just pop in 0:50:28.719 --> 0:50:31.680 there and you're also still trying to just acclimate to 0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:34.120 catching at the big league. LEVEL i think there might 0:50:34.160 --> 0:50:36.560 be a point where they, say is this the best 0:50:36.560 --> 0:50:38.960 thing to do For Dalton? Rushing and if end up 0:50:38.960 --> 0:50:40.719 sending him back to Trip, Away, like, yeah just move 0:50:40.760 --> 0:50:42.600 that guy because that could be a guy that gets 0:50:42.640 --> 0:50:45.759 you a, major a major, piece no doubt about. It 0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:47.719 he could be one of the best prospects available on 0:50:47.760 --> 0:50:48.080 the trade. 0:50:48.080 --> 0:50:52.040 Market quick side note you Mentioned Michael. BUSH i saw 0:50:52.080 --> 0:50:57.000 this tweet yesterday From Joe underscore obvious AND i, QUOTE 0:50:57.040 --> 0:50:59.400 i went down the rabbit hole to Compare Anthony rizzo's 0:50:59.400 --> 0:51:02.480 first seven undred dead bats as The Chicago cub Versus 0:51:02.480 --> 0:51:05.480 Michael bush's first seven hundred dead bats as A Chicago, 0:51:05.560 --> 0:51:08.799 cub and the comparison is kind of. Crazy four point 0:51:08.880 --> 0:51:12.040 five war For, rizzo four point seven For Michael. Bush 0:51:12.800 --> 0:51:16.359 rizzo leads in, hits But bush leads in, homers and 0:51:16.400 --> 0:51:20.960 they both have a one eighteen. Ops Plus rizzo has 0:51:21.000 --> 0:51:25.359 this slight lead in slug But Michael bush has a HIGHER. 0:51:25.400 --> 0:51:28.040 Obp now it is different Because rizzo was twenty two 0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:30.160 to twenty three when he started with The cubs And 0:51:30.239 --> 0:51:34.920 bush is twenty six twenty, five so there's a few years. 0:51:35.000 --> 0:51:38.560 There but to see, that, like if you are A cubs, 0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:41.880 fan remember we just talked, about don't get so Upset 0:51:41.920 --> 0:51:44.960 cubs fans about The Michael bush. Trade you potentially have 0:51:45.000 --> 0:51:46.840 your next To Anthony, rizzo which is. 0:51:46.880 --> 0:51:48.560 Crazy and then people would, say, like, oh, well he's 0:51:48.560 --> 0:51:50.480 sheltered from, lefties but, like who. 0:51:50.320 --> 0:51:52.759 Cares he's facing right he's eighty percent of. Games like 0:51:52.760 --> 0:51:54.920 it's gonna play one hundred and war thirty games right, 0:51:54.960 --> 0:51:56.560 There he's gonna play one hundred and thirty to one 0:51:56.640 --> 0:51:58.719 hundred and forty games this year and be like a 0:51:58.760 --> 0:52:01.400 really good first. Baseman LIKE i don't care if they 0:52:01.440 --> 0:52:02.120 shelter him against. 0:52:02.160 --> 0:52:04.279 Lefties, YEAH i think they should just let him go 0:52:04.320 --> 0:52:04.600 most of the. 0:52:04.640 --> 0:52:05.680 Time, yeah, sure let him. 0:52:05.680 --> 0:52:08.080 Go, yeah, like let him, play let him play left 0:52:08.080 --> 0:52:09.600 on the, left see see what he can. Do he's 0:52:09.600 --> 0:52:12.040 gonna be good enough against righty's and then righties will 0:52:12.040 --> 0:52:14.239 come out of the. Bullpen but, YEAH i, MEAN i 0:52:14.440 --> 0:52:17.560 think it's a great. Point and he he. Is he's 0:52:17.600 --> 0:52:20.839 also a very underrated player in the game right, now 0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:23.520 especially because that offense is so potent you top to bottom, 0:52:23.840 --> 0:52:26.640 that you, KNOW i think you can overlook him a little. 0:52:26.640 --> 0:52:29.280 Bit he's hitting in sometimes a six hole or sometimes 0:52:29.320 --> 0:52:31.359 a seven, hole which is.

REDS i, 0:55:26.760 --> 0:55:30.440 Mean nicolodola is a good example of someone who LIKE i, mean. 0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:32.080 You, KNOW i get it because he's funky ast. 0:55:32.080 --> 0:55:33.960 Shit, no BUT i gotta be careful BECAUSE i have 0:55:34.040 --> 0:55:35.799 asked For elie de La cruz to be, traded not, 0:55:36.000 --> 0:55:38.120 actually but that is now a running bit on our, 0:55:38.160 --> 0:55:41.600 show Like nicolodola might have to get. Traded his numbers 0:55:41.600 --> 0:55:44.920 That Great American ballpark are. Horrific, yeah he's got like 0:55:44.960 --> 0:55:46.839 AN era over five at. Home and this has been 0:55:46.880 --> 0:55:50.120 a multiple season trend here right on the road For 0:55:50.200 --> 0:55:55.000 nickolodola was like one point. Three he's outrageous requested, trade 0:55:55.120 --> 0:55:57.360 but that just goes to show it's really hard to 0:55:57.360 --> 0:55:59.719 pitch in this, ballpark and especially For Andrew abbott with 0:55:59.800 --> 0:56:02.799 con assistant runners on base and a flyball pitcher and 0:56:02.840 --> 0:56:05.120 a flyball, pitcher he's a thirty one. 0:56:05.080 --> 0:56:07.000 Percent ground ball right and no one's leaving the yard 0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:09.160 against him In Great American. Ballpark it's. 0:56:09.200 --> 0:56:13.480 Incredible, yeah he's so Good eddie underrated story and again 0:56:13.640 --> 0:56:15.920 he's another guy where he's fun to watch because it's. 0:56:16.040 --> 0:56:18.880 Quick it's just bang bang. BANG i mean it's Not, 0:56:18.960 --> 0:56:21.440 scoobale but it's almost like a poor Man schooble in 0:56:21.560 --> 0:56:25.360 terms of throwing, strikes working quick and getting you through. Innings, 0:56:25.680 --> 0:56:29.960 Obviously school is just so outrageously, amazing but it, is you, 0:56:29.960 --> 0:56:33.400 Know school's one hundred with the fastball Ed rabbits ninety 0:56:33.400 --> 0:56:36.200 three school's best pitch to change, up so Does Edge. 0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:39.279 Rabbit he's not schoobl but he's if. 0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:43.120 You squint your. Eyes what's amazing is he actually pitches 0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:47.240 to flyball contact more at. HOME i wonder if hitters 0:56:47.239 --> 0:56:49.840 are just so used to like Being Great American ballpark 0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:53.680 and seeing pitchers try to, evade you, know contact in the, 0:56:53.719 --> 0:56:55.759 air that it almost catches them off. Guard like the 0:56:55.840 --> 0:56:57.920 fact that he has a twenty five percent ground ball 0:56:57.960 --> 0:57:01.319 right At Grant American ballpark this year and he's only 0:57:01.360 --> 0:57:04.560 allowed four home runs and allowed a slug of three sixty. 0:57:04.560 --> 0:57:08.960 Two he's not afraid of the short. Porches it's it's 0:57:08.960 --> 0:57:10.880 not a concern for. Him AND i love that. Confidence 0:57:11.080 --> 0:57:11.799 and that's WHY i brought. 0:57:11.840 --> 0:57:15.080 Up you, mentioned you, know guys getting kept caught off 0:57:15.120 --> 0:57:17.560 guard and maybe they haven't seen him. BEFORE i, mean 0:57:17.760 --> 0:57:19.520 this is the second time he faced the. Guardians if 0:57:19.520 --> 0:57:21.080 you throw a dieiting shut, out, NOW i know it 0:57:21.120 --> 0:57:26.040 wasn't In Great American, ballpark but, still, yeah this guy's 0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:28.080 been both FREAKING i need to. 0:57:28.000 --> 0:57:29.680 The, cubs like doing it to The cubs as, well 0:57:29.720 --> 0:57:31.400 and he had to face them back to back like, 0:57:31.480 --> 0:57:34.400 twice facing The cubs back to back and combining for 0:57:34.440 --> 0:57:38.160 twelve and two thirds innings of one run. Ball he's 0:57:38.200 --> 0:57:39.280 clearly got something going. 0:57:39.320 --> 0:57:42.480 On and The reds are hot right. NOW i think 0:57:42.520 --> 0:57:44.760 it once five in a. Row at the time of, recording, 0:57:45.640 --> 0:57:47.840 YEP i need. It we had eighty plus wins and 0:57:47.880 --> 0:57:50.120 plus one. THIRTY i was literally on the field Of 0:57:50.160 --> 0:57:53.040 Great American ballpark Telling reds fans you. Know it was 0:57:53.080 --> 0:57:56.080 so disappointing about. That do you know What the most 0:57:56.080 --> 0:57:58.360 common thing people came up to me and said when 0:57:58.400 --> 0:58:03.080 we were, yeah don't do, It you're gonna be. Wrong 0:58:04.480 --> 0:58:06.560 they weren't even, like, yeah, man jomp on The reds, 0:58:06.600 --> 0:58:08.600 bandwagon we would be. Great they're all, like what are you? 0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:12.280 Doing what you mean? Money why would you do? THAT 0:58:12.800 --> 0:58:13.360 i was really. 0:58:13.360 --> 0:58:15.760 DISAPPOINTED i mean they were super, nice but they were 0:58:15.800 --> 0:58:19.760 just like that BET's gonna. Lose hell, no we gotta 0:58:19.760 --> 0:58:22.440 win eighty. Plus we gotta win eighty, games where a 0:58:22.480 --> 0:58:24.320 couple of games over five. Hundred right, Now reds were. 0:58:24.360 --> 0:58:29.800 Rolling it's a little bit of, confidence right Or AM 0:58:29.840 --> 0:58:30.280 i the only? 0:58:30.360 --> 0:58:35.720 One are you even on the? Bandwagon not, really but damn, it, NO. 0:58:36.280 --> 0:58:40.320 I am Go reds all? Right, last but certainly not. 0:58:40.440 --> 0:58:43.080 LEAST i, MEAN i THINK i post about this guy 0:58:43.080 --> 0:58:47.400 every day every. Day Is Denzel clark already the best 0:58:47.400 --> 0:58:51.880 outfielder in baseball? Defensively eight outs above average in seventeen, 0:58:51.920 --> 0:58:55.920 games AND i want to put that in. Perspective Saddan, 0:58:56.000 --> 0:58:59.400 rafaela The Red, sox one of the best defensive outfielders in, 0:58:59.440 --> 0:59:02.720 baseball has ten outs above average in sixty four. Games 0:59:03.760 --> 0:59:06.960 Pet K armstrong Because cubs fans as soon as they heard, 0:59:07.000 --> 0:59:10.800 that they might have even turned off the PODCAST pca 0:59:10.880 --> 0:59:15.160 has eleven outs above average in sixty seven. Games Victor, 0:59:15.200 --> 0:59:18.080 scott who's up there for his. DEFENSE i know he's 0:59:18.120 --> 0:59:20.920 been better, offensively but that's his calling. Card he has 0:59:20.960 --> 0:59:24.800 eight outs above average in sixty two. Games Julio rodriguez 0:59:24.840 --> 0:59:27.880 has been incredible defensively this. Year he's got eight and 0:59:27.960 --> 0:59:31.080 sixty five games ar. Him Denzel clark has eight outs 0:59:31.080 --> 0:59:33.720 above average in seventeen. Games and he made one of 0:59:33.760 --> 0:59:36.440 the best Catches i've ever. Seen but it's so funny 0:59:36.480 --> 0:59:40.880 because he makes catches that are a little bit easier every. 0:59:40.920 --> 0:59:43.400 Game AND i think he's got two robberies on the. 0:59:43.440 --> 0:59:46.560 Season he had this one catch where he he ran 0:59:46.640 --> 0:59:49.240 it felt like he was playing right field and he 0:59:49.720 --> 0:59:53.320 ran to left center and crashed into the. Wall still 0:59:53.360 --> 0:59:57.520 came up with, it walked off the range on this, 0:59:57.600 --> 1:00:00.520 guy it's. CRAZY i, mean he can't hit. Right he's 1:00:00.560 --> 1:00:03.840 gonna fill one percent strikeout, right he'saitting what seventy? Seven 1:00:04.040 --> 1:00:06.040 but the reason they're putting him out there is because 1:00:06.080 --> 1:00:10.240 he IS i, mean he looks LIKE i still go 1:00:10.320 --> 1:00:12.440 back to, it like When buxton is gliding around the, 1:00:12.440 --> 1:00:15.000 outfield that's just my favorite thing to. Watch this is, 1:00:15.040 --> 1:00:18.520 better HE'S i, mean they're. Longer it's it's. 1:00:18.560 --> 1:00:21.920 Incredible there may not be a bigger dichotomy between like 1:00:22.480 --> 1:00:25.760 offensive output and war Than Denzel clark if he gets 1:00:25.760 --> 1:00:29.000 a full. Season, yeah it's it's crazy BECAUSE i, KNOW 1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:30.919 i do think the bat could get to a point 1:00:30.920 --> 1:00:33.880 where it's decent. Enough you, know over some, TIME i 1:00:33.880 --> 1:00:35.440 didn't think he was ready for a big league call, 1:00:35.520 --> 1:00:37.520 Up BUT i mean they must have just been seeing 1:00:37.520 --> 1:00:39.320 what he was doing defensively out there and saying like 1:00:39.560 --> 1:00:42.840 this guy could could help our pitching staff significantly just 1:00:42.880 --> 1:00:44.360 by his ability to go get. IT i don't know 1:00:44.400 --> 1:00:47.640 If i've ever seen eight out's above average and one 1:00:47.720 --> 1:00:51.959 hundred and thirty four innings like that is that is absolutely. 1:00:52.000 --> 1:00:56.160 Insane like eight outs above average in seventeen in games 1:00:56.600 --> 1:01:02.120 essentially means he's making a game altering catch every other, Game, 1:01:02.400 --> 1:01:04.800 yeah and making a lot of others that make a you, 1:01:04.800 --> 1:01:08.280 know positive impact in. Between like it, is it is 1:01:08.320 --> 1:01:10.520 really remarkable to watch him do. This AND i think 1:01:10.520 --> 1:01:12.720 he had like he may have had like a throwing 1:01:12.720 --> 1:01:14.880 air or something like that mixed in. There like that 1:01:14.880 --> 1:01:18.160 that probably. Docked is the defensive runt safe at the very, 1:01:18.240 --> 1:01:20.400 Least like this is a guy THAT i would. LOVE 1:01:20.480 --> 1:01:22.160 i hope he can get it going a bit with 1:01:22.240 --> 1:01:25.280 the bat because if, he if he plays a full, 1:01:25.320 --> 1:01:27.880 season we might see the best defensive season of the 1:01:27.920 --> 1:01:29.560 stack Gass. Air AND i don't think that's crazy to. 1:01:29.600 --> 1:01:31.560 Say i'm very, curious LIKE i want to watch what 1:01:31.680 --> 1:01:35.240 makes him better so far this year than like a 1:01:35.240 --> 1:01:37.320 Pet karam. Shrunk pek karamshrunk is stuff on the Field 1:01:37.320 --> 1:01:39.160 i've never really seen in terms of the jumps and 1:01:39.200 --> 1:01:43.800 the closing speed and finishing. Ability but Maybe karcas just 1:01:43.800 --> 1:01:47.800 had more opportunities so far because the pitching staff gets 1:01:47.800 --> 1:01:51.160 teed off on a little. Bit but that's part of, it, 1:01:51.280 --> 1:01:53.920 Right SO i am really fascinated AND i want to 1:01:53.960 --> 1:01:55.720 do like a video dive kind of comparing these. Two 1:01:55.840 --> 1:01:58.720 BUT i we thought nobody would be on par WITH, 1:01:58.800 --> 1:02:01.680 pca AND i think it's very clear That clark. 1:02:01.800 --> 1:02:04.600 IS i MEAN i could speak to that a little 1:02:04.640 --> 1:02:09.200 bit when watching These a's, Games Like Denzel clark went 1:02:09.280 --> 1:02:12.480 after all of his incredible. Catches when you're watching the live, 1:02:12.560 --> 1:02:15.840 broadcast they, like do the film of his. Jump it's, 1:02:15.880 --> 1:02:19.480 immediate and if we're talking about sprint speed closing, speed 1:02:20.160 --> 1:02:25.760 he is lightning fast and he's so. Long he looks 1:02:25.800 --> 1:02:29.160 like a wide receiver out there playing center. Field, WELL 1:02:29.240 --> 1:02:32.760 pca looks like legit center. Fielder this guy looks like 1:02:32.800 --> 1:02:36.960 he was planted in our game from a different. Sport 1:02:37.080 --> 1:02:40.120 he is gliding and getting to balls Like Julio. 1:02:40.320 --> 1:02:42.480 Jones, yeah he's got. 1:02:42.320 --> 1:02:46.520 The, size he's got the. Speed he can. Jump that's 1:02:46.560 --> 1:02:50.200 WHAT i think makes him so. Impressible, WELL pca is so, 1:02:50.440 --> 1:02:52.960 fast his jumps are so, good and he is so. 1:02:53.120 --> 1:02:56.760 SMOOTH i Think Denzel clark shares all of those, attributes 1:02:57.040 --> 1:02:58.200 but it's in a six'. 1:02:58.360 --> 1:03:01.000 Four, body yeah and he. 1:03:00.920 --> 1:03:03.840 Can launch but then you watch him hit and, you're 1:03:03.880 --> 1:03:06.520 like please just stay up in BASEBALL so i could 1:03:06.520 --> 1:03:08.160 watch you play. Defense, MORE yeah i. 1:03:08.440 --> 1:03:10.120 Really, HOPE so, i mean he hits the, ball hard 1:03:10.160 --> 1:03:13.000 it's just he's got to hit, the ball so it's 1:03:13.160 --> 1:03:15.160 it's it'll be cool to see those two just kind 1:03:15.160 --> 1:03:17.440 of battle it out over over the course of the 1:03:17.520 --> 1:03:20.280 year If if clark is, able to, you know just just. 1:03:20.560 --> 1:03:22.760 Stay UP and i think he's gonna buy himself a 1:03:22.800 --> 1:03:25.520 lot of time with the stick if he continues to defend. 1:03:25.520 --> 1:03:27.000 This way are you are. 1:03:26.880 --> 1:03:31.520 There stats that look at jump because they have. 1:03:31.400 --> 1:03:33.680 That in in. In stackcast you just gotta, like dig 1:03:33.800 --> 1:03:36.480 dig around a little. Bit MORE but pc jumps. 1:03:36.480 --> 1:03:40.320 ARE stupid, i mean. He's sad raphael is. INCREDIBLE too, 1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:41.680 i like how do? 1:03:41.720 --> 1:03:43.440 You separate like what what do these guys do with? 1:03:43.520 --> 1:03:45.800 THIS way i literally do think that the biggest separator 1:03:45.880 --> 1:03:48.600 right Now for clark, is opportunity and he has every 1:03:48.640 --> 1:03:51.280 single opportunity. HE'S had i mean that's part of, It 1:03:51.320 --> 1:03:52.040 though like closing the. 1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:54.680 Plays out a's bullpen has a seventy or right since 1:03:54.720 --> 1:03:57.000 my first like they're. Starting pitching his horse. 1:03:57.000 --> 1:03:59.640 Got his back to. The infield there's a lot of 1:03:59.800 --> 1:04:00.080 law a. 1:04:00.360 --> 1:04:03.920 Fly, balls actually think, about IT, for pca every reliever 1:04:04.000 --> 1:04:05.840 as A, zero lr he's not really getting that. Many, 1:04:05.880 --> 1:04:07.640 opportunities yeah that's actually a. 1:04:07.720 --> 1:04:11.560 Good. POINT yeah I Mean denzel clark is basically has 1:04:11.640 --> 1:04:13.840 his back to the infield every every, Other play, so 1:04:14.920 --> 1:04:16.440 yeah that probably plays a part. 1:04:16.480 --> 1:04:18.800 IN it i do WONDER what pca stats would be 1:04:19.040 --> 1:04:21.960 if you just let him play his sixty seven games to, The, 1:04:22.000 --> 1:04:23.680 ages like what do you have twenty outs above average? 1:04:23.720 --> 1:04:27.720 Right now so what anything else before? 1:04:27.760 --> 1:04:30.000 We go THAT'S all. I got the only OTHER thing 1:04:30.040 --> 1:04:33.480 i wanted to mention, was, Just Uh. Anthony siegler guy's 1:04:33.520 --> 1:04:35.560 gonna guys gonna get a big. LEAGUE opportunity, I, Think 1:04:35.640 --> 1:04:39.640 yeah LIKE why i had to because underrated storyline that. 1:04:40.040 --> 1:04:41.760 We talked we've talked about him a little bit earlier 1:04:41.760 --> 1:04:44.720 when we did like the, prospect report but the first, 1:04:44.800 --> 1:04:47.000 round pick which we've talked. About it of course he 1:04:47.080 --> 1:04:49.320 didn't like to pick at. The time but by just 1:04:49.440 --> 1:04:51.880 a fascinating aspect. Of this he was a switch in 1:04:51.920 --> 1:04:54.320 and catcher who was never really good at, any level 1:04:54.760 --> 1:04:57.080 got a little bit better last. Year offensively that brought 1:04:57.080 --> 1:04:59.080 his ops in his career in the minor weekues up over. 1:04:59.120 --> 1:05:02.080 Seven hundred yankees let him go as a as a, 1:05:02.240 --> 1:05:03.880 you know minor league. Free agent he signs With, the 1:05:03.880 --> 1:05:07.360 brewers And the brewers sign Him TO. Triple a last 1:05:07.400 --> 1:05:10.320 year he had. Stopped catching he was only playing second base, 1:05:10.440 --> 1:05:13.080 Right really and now With the brewers they have him 1:05:13.080 --> 1:05:15.200 catching a little. Bit again he's, playing second and he's 1:05:15.200 --> 1:05:18.040 playing third and even played a. Game Short what i'm floored, 1:05:18.040 --> 1:05:19.320 BY is i don't Know if i've ever seen a 1:05:19.360 --> 1:05:24.480 guy with such a high average ex of velocity compared 1:05:24.520 --> 1:05:27.680 to His max so his max eggs velocity this year's one, 1:05:27.760 --> 1:05:30.480 oh seven but HIS average exi velocity is. Ninety two 1:05:30.840 --> 1:05:33.320 that tells me he's just finding the barrel every. Freaking 1:05:33.360 --> 1:05:35.440 time right Now IN, triple a he's hitting three, oh 1:05:35.520 --> 1:05:38.240 seven four, forty four five. Twenty one they may have 1:05:38.320 --> 1:05:40.680 like this like infield Version Of david frye on their 1:05:40.680 --> 1:05:44.120 hands here With, the brewers AND, like i it's it's 1:05:44.160 --> 1:05:47.080 been pretty cool to just watch him a GUY that 1:05:47.160 --> 1:05:50.360 i thought pretty much his career could, be toasts, You 1:05:50.360 --> 1:05:53.160 KNOW like i thought just there wouldn't be much else 1:05:53.720 --> 1:05:55.560 in terms, Of OPPORTUNITY like i didn't really see a 1:05:55.560 --> 1:05:57.160 way that he would be able to hit his way 1:05:57.200 --> 1:05:59.400 to the to the, big leagues and he's gonna get. 1:05:59.440 --> 1:06:00.760 Called up it's gonna be a pretty. 1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:03.400 Cool STORY so i think the reason that arm is bringing, 1:06:03.440 --> 1:06:05.680 THIS up i mean he wants To Highlight. ANTHONY siegler i. 1:06:05.760 --> 1:06:10.240 Get It But. ANTHONY siegler i remember WATCHING my tv 1:06:10.400 --> 1:06:13.480 during the DRAFT and i say, to myself we drafted 1:06:13.600 --> 1:06:16.400 who and they're showing highlights. Of him it's like of, 1:06:16.480 --> 1:06:19.720 him juggling like not even. Playing baseball it's like juggling 1:06:19.720 --> 1:06:21.880 and talking about, both arms how we can throw with. 1:06:21.960 --> 1:06:24.880 Both Arms and, i'm like but he's. A catcher what do. 1:06:24.920 --> 1:06:27.600 YOU mean i don't need him to throw left handed as. 1:06:27.600 --> 1:06:29.360 A catcher and they put up the stats he like 1:06:29.360 --> 1:06:31.840 didn't even hit all that well in high school. PRETTY 1:06:31.840 --> 1:06:34.720 good i, was like what are we talking? About here 1:06:35.120 --> 1:06:37.080 he was our first. Round pick then he goes To 1:06:37.120 --> 1:06:39.720 the miners and he, was Terrible and i'm, thinking aboutself 1:06:39.800 --> 1:06:44.600 what were? We doing goes To. The brewers now he hits, 1:06:44.600 --> 1:06:47.200 everything hard and he's playing second and short and third 1:06:47.280 --> 1:06:47.840 and catch. 1:06:47.680 --> 1:06:50.320 Chasing at a fifteen. Percent clip everything's in. The air 1:06:50.600 --> 1:06:53.240 it's like, it's Legit like i'm bringing up because like 1:06:53.280 --> 1:06:57.479 it's it, looks legit it's a. Cool Story so i'm 1:06:57.520 --> 1:07:01.280 just if you're in a really deep. Fantasy league if 1:07:01.280 --> 1:07:04.760 they continue to get poor production from. Third base he 1:07:04.800 --> 1:07:06.760 started to play third a little bit, more lately it, 1:07:06.840 --> 1:07:07.760 may happen. 1:07:07.960 --> 1:07:10.520 So he's Taken Over, caleb durbin Another. Former yankee. 1:07:10.960 --> 1:07:12.760 He may he May if derbin doesn't get it. 1:07:12.800 --> 1:07:16.040 Going soon so that'll do it for this Episode Of 1:07:16.120 --> 1:07:19.760 The Just.
