We are obligated at the top 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.959 of every single show, when it happens, regardless of what 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:31.920 the other news is, is to tell you that Shohio 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:36.320 Tani hit a home run. It's just it's legally content. Yes, 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.600 it is contractual. We're contractually obligated to tell you that 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.080 Shoho Tani hit a bomb, which is good news because 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.280 the bad news that was floating around of yesterday is 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.720 there's still some issues with that knee and they really 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.000 don't know what's when he's going to start pitching again. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.800 So kind of went from like, oh, this is decent 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.279 management to worse in that if they're not even thinking 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.360 about it, I think there's a real real chance that 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.840 we could get through August and nazee him pitch now 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.120 they could just turn on a dime and they could go. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:05.840 But they still said there's some stuff with the knee. 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.080 But I think it's a very good sign when you 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.640 see him out there blasting, blasting home runs right in 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.840 the lead off spot there and I had a stat 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.600 and I thought I had saved it. I must not 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.440 have here that It was like, geez got if I 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.160 could find it. It was like a home run. He was like, 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.840 the guy have three hits a leadoff home run, and 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.280 then like still lose. There was some weird show Hey. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.720 We don't get any Show Hey of Tony stats anymore 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.320 because they've all happened. But I'll see if I can 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.920 find it. But any thoughts on that knee with sho 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:35.559 Ha Tani after that Homer. 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.600 I think PCA might win the MVP in the NL. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.480 Now he's plus one ten. He has moved to plus 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.000 one ten. He has a higher war than show Hey, 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.760 and he hasn't pitched because his defense has been great 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.280 and his offense has been incredible. And we have seen 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.680 obviously less from show Hey than we thought on the 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.120 pitching side, so and maybe a little less on the 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.600 hitting side as well due to this knee entry so 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.200 the current odds it moved to show Hey minus one 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.920 forty five and PCA plus one ten. I mean he 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.840 is at least nipping on his heels. Yeah, I think 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.360 if Sho Hay has to be shut down for any 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.400 period of time because of this stuff, I think PCAs 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.040 going to overtake him in the odds to win the MVP. 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:19.679 In the Oh, you know who else jumped into the 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.160 MVP race in the top five was Jacki Mizerowski. He's 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.120 making a little appearances gonna be tough if he's only 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.440 gonna pitch eighty or whatever every single time. But at 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.720 PCA's got a tough road. Misslerowski's kind of interesting. There's 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.280 a bunch of you know, there's a bunch of fun 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:34.680 names in there. By the way I found the stat 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.560 it was from opt to stats. It was sho Heyo 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.280 Tony is the only MLB player to have three hits, 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.800 three RBI, a leadoff home run, an intentional walk, and 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.680 have his team lose the game. That is since intentional 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.240 walks became an official stat in nineteen fifty five. So 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.760 that is definitely one of those like h stats Like okay, 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.920 but I just thought it was weird. That a time 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.280 like that was such an odd, goofy looking one with 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.560 like an intentional walk the leadoff homer, which was a 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.560 freaking blast too, by the way, if you were watching it. 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.760 It was. I saw a little bit of that game, 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.480 and it was so funny because Max Munsey comes up 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.520 to the play. Did you see this? And uh, he's 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.239 over fifteen with ten strikeouts or something ridiculous against Louis 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.840 Castillo in his career. And it's a Dodgers announcers that 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.400 I'm seeing because I'm watching on big inning and they 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:27.279 are trying so hard over fifteen ten K's hasn't even 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.719 come close to hitting a see guys, and then a 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:36.799 bomb first pitch bomb, rocket bomb, and I was like, oh, well, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.520 one for sixteen now with a homer, So look at that. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.280 Uh, speaking of bombs. We're gonna play a game here, 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.000 all right. I'm gonna We're gonna play a sound and 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.880 I'm gonna give you some options of what this is. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.560 This would be a fun baseball game. So I want 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.279 you to listen to this sound real quick. Is this sound? 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.920 Let's hear it? Is that the sound of that cannon blast? 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.919 Let's hear it one more time? Is that the sound 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.840 of the Big Bang starting the universe? The answer is no, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.960 that sound, which, by the way, I feel like maybe 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.280 I turn this down. I'm not giving enough credit. Can 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.120 we see who it is? Because that sound was Jordan Alvarez? 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.800 Play it one more time, but can you pump it up? 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:26.040 Pump pump it up. Play. I don't think it we're 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.719 giving it enough credit. When you just hear that sound. 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.000 That was the most ridiculous sound I've ever heard on 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.080 a home run. And as I'm hearing it here, like 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.800 over and over, it's just not quite playing across. But 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.360 that stadium wasn't completely empty. I've sat in empty stadiums 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.599 where you know the sounds just below, you know, hits 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.200 of like ninety eight miles miles power off the bat 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:53.680 sound like these big rockets. That sounded like a freaking rocket. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.840 Jordon Alvarez is obviously he's in demon mode and that 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.560 whole I don't know if you watched it live or 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.440 you saw the replay after, but I highly suggest you. 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.120 We can't play it, but you go and play that 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.360 video a couple hundred times and just close your eyes 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.240 and pretend you're watching the universe be created or just 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:12.239 Jordan hitting a homer. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.400 Dude. Yes, that that hit might have sparked a new universe. 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.479 That's where we get to multiverse from right there. I like, 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.800 Todd was like, that's the sound of Curtis Mead's wrist breaking. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:28.640 Oh we're gonna yeah, Craig Breslow. My god. Jordan, Now, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.919 by the way, minus three seventy five to win the 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.760 al MVP. It is a runaway at this point. 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.400 It's been incredible. I mean, I think about those old 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.120 debates that I was on the other side of it, 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.400 Jordan versus like Vladdie Junior. It's not even close. It's 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.520 not even close. Jordan is an MVP caliber. He's I 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.359 think last I had looked it was what did you 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:48.920 say it was minus three something, because that's. 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:50.600 What it was, A three seventy five on a hard rod. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.360 Yeah, it was minus three fifty like a couple of 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.800 weeks ago or whatever. But yeah, I just I just 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.240 wanted to play that sound. I wish it translated better 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.240 in my brain. It did, but like you get the hint, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.159 it was an apply ridiculous one. And that's what Jordne does. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.800 Speaking of you got you already jumped to it. Curtis Mead, Well, boy, 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.600 Curtis Mead, as you guys have all seen. Unfortunately, that 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.720 might yeah, great, cauld we hear that sound one more time? 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.360 Is that possible, Seth? Seth was drinking here something, but 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.280 that actually might have been curt Oh, I was his 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.760 wrist fracturing, because he's placed on the io and diagnosed 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:28.520 with a fractured left wrist. Two whit bats after being 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.400 traded for. They trade Conley Early, which they really had 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.320 to sell everybody on why it worked. They get Curtis 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.320 meat in the lineup and the wrist is fractured, little cursed. 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.280 It's pretty bad. I mean, I mean he's also had 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:43.880 I think a similar issue. I don't know if it 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.600 was on the same rist, not too long ago or 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.120 a couple of years ago, but absolutely brutal blow in 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.720 the trade market where they go and I think move 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.400 off of like a really really good piece in Conley early. 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.240 The Diamondbacks were kicking the tires and trying to figure out, 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.600 you know, can we get a you know, can can 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.840 we move something off to be able to get Conlee Early? 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.400 They kind of rebuffed it, like Conlee Early could have 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.280 been a part of a big trade. It wasn't It 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.760 was a part of this trade where he's now out 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.640 and now the Red Sox you're still kicking around. We 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.120 are gonna do some trade rooms here in just a 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.400 tiny bit. But brutal, brutal blow for Curtis me to 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.480 miss this time. And I'm not sure if I saw that. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.640 I don't if anybody knows the timeline yet, but fractured 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.160 risks are going to take a little bit. This is 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:24.679 probably gonna be the fantasy season. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:29.040 I would imagine, Yeah, this this stinks, man. And for 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.400 Craig Breslow to have, you know, so many bad trades 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.840 under his belt already and then to have have to 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.280 go through this one also just really stinks. This one 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.400 is just absolute bad luck. But it already looks terrible, 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:46.000 so terrible luck. I don't know. They need to wish 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.800 upon a star, do a sage or something. I don't 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.680 know what's going on in Boston. They need to fix it. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.240 I like that the noise was Brezlo's brain breaking because 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.920 everything didn't go as play. Nothing has going play more 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.120 innings mead for Boston or Early for Washington. It's actually 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.400 a really good one because I think Connearly is going 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.400 to start up his rehab assignment like a week or so, 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.280 probably takes two or three weeks. He's probably back in 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.000 three weeks. I would have to imagine most fractures at 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.240 minimum are probably going to take four to six weeks 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.920 at minimum. And it's a risk too. That's a Zappa power. 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.559 I mean it's early, it's going to have more value 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.480 at this point. Yet it's really it's really brutal, and 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.319 it's like, what are the Red Sox going to do now? 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.160 How are they going to be able to bounce back? 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.800 That kind of comes to the trade conversation. We're going 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.720 to have moved over to the Tigers. There's multiple things 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:37.800 to talk about. First off, the fourteen to nothing output, ridiculous, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:42.520 ridiculous production we saw from this team. Troy Melton absolute gems, 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.120 seven innings, three hits, noah and runs, five strikeouts, boom. 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.199 Kevin McGonagall. He had slowed a little bit over the 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.439 last two weeks, bogs, but it goes four for five. 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.480 Labor Torres has five RBIs in that game. At Wardo 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.240 Valencia had two homers and four RBIs off a position 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.839 player they dominated. We'll do a stop point there real quick. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:07.200 Absolutely critical outing for Troy Melton because the Tigers, if 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.840 they had lost that game, they would have been walking 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.920 into today's game, which we'll talk about in the second 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.800 probably is no doubt, sellers, I think there's still an opportunity. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.200 That's what we're going to yap about. But Melton, with 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.920 a huge gym, has really been kind of solid. McGonagall 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.599 pick it back up. Any thoughts on any of the 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.319 Tigers that showed out yesterday. 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.920 I mean, Troy Melton has been good for most of 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.120 the year, right like a bunch of starts. Eleven starts. 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:36.400 He's given up more than two earned runs exactly one time. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.480 He hasn't gone super deep into games, but he also 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.800 hasn't been pulled before the fifth and in any of them, 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.760 the strikeouts have really picked up over the last month. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.840 Here he had a nine to nine and two fives. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.240 Troy Maltin has been a really nice addition in deeper 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:57.160 fantasy leagues, and he's a nice streaming option right now 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.640 if you have been hurting at that position. Two so 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.079 and McGonagall I always put him in three up, three down, 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:04.440 but I saw he was up here. He had a 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.720 great night finally, so it seemed like maybe some of 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.679 these rookies are slowing down a little bit. But McGonagall 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:11.840 with a nice one last night. 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.600 For sure, and still top ten of WARF, still pretty 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.760 pretty good on the offensive side. Here's the question, though, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.440 will today be the final Trek Schoogle start? That's the 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.600 big one he's going today. I believe he would line 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.640 up to Monday, so you know, I mean if he 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.720 if he pitches Monday, he's not being traded. So that's 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.440 that's all that this comes from. It's either he is trade, 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.640 he's going to be traded and today will be his 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.000 last start, or the Tigers don't do it. It would 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:42.839 I think this would have been made a little bit 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:47.560 easier had the Tigers lost that start yesterday, because then 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.880 they would go in to this game with a no 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.120 doubt losing series. Tigers are probably going to do pretty 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.720 well today, and you got and they're playing a team 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.320 that was right above them in the Orioles, and then 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.560 you've got the team even above them, like the Astros 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.400 were playing the Angels and picking up wins, so it's 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.760 like they were just moving really further down Now. Even 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.320 if they win this game, I think there's still a 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.480 really big question. Yes, they're like three or four games 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.559 out of the wild card spot, but there's like four 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:18.360 or five teams that are above. So that's what that's like. 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:22.160 What's really complicated with it? Trek Scouble has I looked 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.559 this up yesterday. I did the CBS thing and Trek 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.000 Scouble against the batters in Baltimore, they have a career 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.360 one seventy two or one seventy three batting average against. 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.120 And my favorite stat of all the players combined, there's 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:40.320 one combined career RBI against Trek Scooble. So he is 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:44.719 likely to dominate dominate today. So my question to you 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:49.280 is will this be the final Tiger start for Trek Schooble. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.800 I don't think so. I don't think anyone is going 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.680 to offer enough to go get him. I think that's 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.920 how that's going to be the Tiger stance after the deadline. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:05.920 My opinion. So, I think they're gonna if they have 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:07.920 a good weekend. I think it's going to cost a 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.559 ridiculous amount. I don't think anyone's paying for it. I 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.400 think we're in a weird game of chicken. I feel 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.440 like the rumors would be more substantial. We would have 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.719 heard some like packages or something being offered for him. 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.480 We're really not hearing much. I feel like the league 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.760 is saying he's too expensive, and the Tigers are saying 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.840 he's too expensive. So I think he sticks it out 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.760 through this year. Maybe they try to sign him to 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:37.040 an extension if they don't trade him immediately. But I 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:39.720 want it to be I would love to see him 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.199 on a contender and go deep into October right specifically 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:47.480 with next year being questionable. But I feel like they've 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.880 made this trade too complicated and weird already. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.720 I would love to hear from everybody in the chat 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:58.120 trade or no trade. Terrek Scooble, I think they will 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.360 trade him. I think the Tiger now, if the Tigers 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.160 have a run through the rest of the way through 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.520 you know, over this weekend and everything like that, it 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.600 makes it complicated. I think there's all the reason for 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.880 them not to trade if they're in you know, any 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.439 type of competition or whatever. He says he doesn't want 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.840 to get traded. What I worry is, you're going and 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.240 if you get traded, by the way, I think it's 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.760 happening Sunday or Monday. But my reason behind it is 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.720 is I think that they have to look at themselves 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.760 realistically and the team that they have and them not 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.800 making any acquisitions, them having four or five teams in 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.320 front of them just for a wild card spot, and 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.920 also you've got the labor stuff. I think someone in 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.280 the chat was maybe even making the case of like 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.280 why he wouldn't get traded because of the penning lockout 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.160 next year. I would say that's maybe even more reason 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.520 because the guy's going to be a free agent. You 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.480 have no pending contractual stuff with that there might not 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.480 be baseball next year. You want to win a championship 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.800 this year. It's all about right now. I think everything 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.000 is about right now and the control you have in 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.240 future years and you know into next year, and Scooble 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.600 doesn't really have that effect on what next year is. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.480 And I think they're going to come to terms with that. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.120 They're just not going to be heavy competitors. And I 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.880 think because the last piece here, there are so many 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.520 teams that are in it right now as we're recording 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.720 this and everything is wonky and we're getting no trades 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.320 that it is going to be fire sale on Sunday 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.160 or Monday when everybody because they got to make their decision, 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.560 and every phones are going to be calling. People are 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.400 going to get aggressive, and then you're going to see 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.120 aggressive offers out there. If Schooble's available, the Dodgers can 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.480 make that happen. I think Milwaukee can make that happen. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.640 I think the Braves can make it happen. So I'm 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.480 going to say it's going to be real. He's going 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.680 to go out today. He's going to freaking dominate. As 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.520 I told you one career RBI is probably going to 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.880 strike out ten. He's going to go seven. He's going 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.960 to tip his cap. Everyone's going to be cheering him, 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:44.840 and the whole narrative is going to be Nope, Nope, 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.280 we're not trading Derek Scouble and then Sunday or Monday, 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.440 he's going to be a Brewer's That's what I think 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.160 it is. But you guys, you guys drop it in. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.280 I think Seth even put up a poll. I think 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.040 most people are kind of thinking he's not going to 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.680 get traded. I think that is you know, the relatively 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.360 likely should minus more narrative things. I think it gets there. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.240 I think I think they absolutely should because I don't 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.840 know if you're resigning him and uh, you know, next 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.320 year's a question all this stuff. Get a haul for 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.680 him now, I think that would be the smart move. 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.120 I just don't know if they're going to do it. 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.120 Yeah, man, it's always about what does that return like? 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.160 And if teams I just really think there are a 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.520 couple of teams that like, if you want to make 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:27.520 the run and you want to be like an aggressive suitor, 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.280 you know, for a championship, you go and you say, 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.360 sell whatever you've got to sell to try to get him. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.080 There was a second suitor. 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.040 The second suit, Yeah, second suitor. Also a clerk's reference 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.680 or no, Malrat's reference, chocolate covered press, Yeah, Marat's reference. 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.360 Some other news and notes out there. San die Al 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.880 Contra with an absolute gym seven innings, four innings, five strikeouts, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.720 zero earned runs. Maybe also another one of those guys 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.280 that might not get traded now because the Marlins, despite 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.400 losing a billion games a franchise record in a row, 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.360 they're like still right there, They're like right in the uh, 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.480 right in the thick of it. So I kind of 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.680 still think he's a guy that does get traded to 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.960 for all the things we're talking about. But the I 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:10.920 don't know the Marlins did kind of say they don't 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:15.639 want to make those moves. My trade rumor that I 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.880 put out there is I think a team like the Padres. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.840 We're gonna talk about trade rumors here in just a 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.680 tiny bit, but I think the Padres are a team 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.840 that could you know, they've done deals with the Marlins 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.399 before that they could make something work, something in like 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.840 a cash Mayfield range. Sandy's got I think one more 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.040 after this. It's like an arbitrational year after this, so 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.600 he would need to be you need to be like 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.159 a real giveaway, and I think the Padres could do 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.560 something like that. But seven innings, four hits, five k's 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.199 kind of vintage Sandy Bogs. He's gone I think seven 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.240 or he's gone like at least six innings and they 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.200 get like four of his last five. He's kind of 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.840 getting back to the Sandy that we know a little bit. 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.800 Is there anybody out I feel like the teams in 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.080 the Al West might offer for him to the Rangers 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:02.199 and the Astros, Mariners don't need pitching, they need hitting. 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.080 Maybe the White Sox could use him, the Guardians. 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:07.439 Oh, everybody. I think everybody could use him. It's just 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.640 about like who's gonna send an aggressive offer. I think 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.520 that's been the problem with Sandy for like two years. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.600 There just hasn't been and I think the Marlins are 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.480 really waffly about it. 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.480 So yeah, there's also been injury stuff with Sandy too, 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.679 and it's you know, he's been a little up and 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:26.000 down as well since the injury. So I do think 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.720 Sandy gets moved. I think there are plenty of teams 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.320 that will offer maybe like a miniature bidding war specifically, 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.400 if like if there's just no movement on Schooble, Sandy's 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.440 definitely getting moved. I think you're gonna see offers get 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:39.280 upped and upped. 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:40.600 So well, that's a tough thing. 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:41.320 Sandy goes. 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.560 That's a tough thing. Like least talking about debt meers 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.760 in here, Like there's this path where it's like you 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.719 could have Scooball and Joe Ryan and Sandy a Contra 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:54.760 all be moved. Those are huge, huge pieces, but teams 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:56.800 don't really see they The narrative on all three of 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.120 those teams is like, now we're not gonna trade these guys. 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.280 If they all do go, then all of a sudden, 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.360 price of the brick just went up for debt meurs 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.840 and he's going to have a big haul or all 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.440 three of those teams, you know, they're placating with us, 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:10.640 and they're just like, no, we're not going to treat 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.399 I'm not going to trade, and then like one is 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.800 going to bite and it's going to be this huge offer, 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.280 and then that's what kind of changes the market. Will 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.840 it be all of them? Will it be none of them? 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.320 But they're all in it. That's the stupid annoying thing. Dude. 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.000 Last night with the Twins, I was ready to say 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:27.359
