That's that's two times we've gotten to use 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:39.560 that reference this week, which is great. 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:41.720 That's not from what's Spaceballs? 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:47.080 Of course so great. In Spaceballs, Ricordats is so great too. 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.800 I can't think of a bad Rick Marinas movie. 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.239 You know, I would say, because everyone's gonna go to 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.880 Honeye Shrunk the Kids and stuff like that, or Zoltar 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.400 or whatever he was in Ghostbusters, but him as Dark 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:04.319 Helmet was greatest, one of the greatest performances of all time. 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.600 It's an old movie. It's my absolute favorite space Balls. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.000 It is great, and he is he steals the show 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.240 in the whole movie. 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.600 Because Drewish princesses love money and power and I have both. 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.600 He's just he's just this, and you don't realize every 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:18.840 now and then you have to just kind of take 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.080 the perspective of how big the helmet is and how 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.720 little of a man he is. Is hysterical I think 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.119 about it. He's a little Giants, which is amazing. He's 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.520 in Ghostbusters, he is in we were just talked about 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.360 the Spaceballs. I mean that the whole Rick Morana's canon 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.440 is pretty like unbelievable. I'm sure there's a ton of movies. 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.640 I'm forgetting to what is he? 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:39.240 What's the last thing? 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:41.959 Life? A couple of years ago he got knocked out 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.720 in New York. Some random person punched him. Punched him, Yeah, 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.080 just like punched him. He was assaulted. Oh, Little Shop 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:52.840 of Horrors. Another Rick Moran. That's a looking great one. Parenthood, 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.000 amazing movie with Steve Martin. He's fantastic. My Blue Heaven another. 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:58.960 There's some bad movies here as I'm looking. There are 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.360 a few bad ones like what any Well, you know, 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.680 there's some ones that are a little up, you know, like, uh, 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.520 let's see the foot Stones. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.480 But what's the last movie he did? Like how long ago. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.360 That it's been a while he basically kind of semi retired. 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.560 But the man is a national treasure, even though he's Canadians. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.280 So I can't you never interrupt me when I'm playing 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:19.880 with my dolls. 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.480 I know I didn't see you playing with your dolls again, sir, 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.320 All right, let's get to the baseball, and uh, I 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.200 can't believe it. We're getting Bryce Harper. So here we are. 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.240 This is happening. Well, she is unbelievable. And had I 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.799 known that we were going to get Bryce Harper this early, 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:35.959 I would have drafted him with the second round pick, 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.880 because you know how I felt about Tattias, and I 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.320 was taking him with practically a first round pick anyway, 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.680 because he was missing two weeks. If I knew Harper 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.639 was just missing a month, I would have been like, yeah, 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.320 given to me in in you know, the late second round, 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.920 early third round. One hundred percent. I'm still concerned. I 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.040 am cautiously optimistic. But what are your thoughts, feelings, emotions 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.480 about the Harper imminent return here that we're going to get. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.280 Yeah, I think it's really big. To your point, you 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.840 know what, we got Tatis in the what like like 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.560 mid second round, knowing we were going to miss the 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.080 twenty days. If you knew it was going to be 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:12.639 like two more weeks, Harper would have probably been I think, 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.320 like an early third round pick, like somewhere between. Like, yeah, 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.760 probably he's somewhere in there, maybe even scratch right at 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.639 the top of the or the end of the second, 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.720 somewhere in the third. But this is huge though. I 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.680 think there is a big worry from a lot of people. 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.480 And I'm actually very curious Joe, your thought on this 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.880 if there is a theoretical cell high moment right now, 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.200 So just follow me for a second. Obviously, you if 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.040 you drafted him, especially in redraft, you've sat, you've hung out, 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.120 you're good to go. But if you're a worrying worrier 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.320 at all that he's coming back so early, there's a 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.200 lot of people are worrying worrier. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.440 It's like a worry wart, I believe exactly. I don't 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.400 even know what that is. A worry ward. But if 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:52.560 you because. 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.040 There's a lot of you out there that are just like, oh, 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.480 these guys are gonna get hurt used to be back 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:55.920 on the idle. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.360 I'm worrying July. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.400 So do you trade trade that you today might be 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.680 one of the absolute high I mean, obviously, if he 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.000 goes and performs high blah blah blah, that'd be good. 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:07.960 But he's going to be a DH. He's coming back early. 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.240 I do not feel this way, But I'm curious, would 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.240 you consider trading him at the highest of level, almost 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.559 trading him like a prospect, you know, highest trade values 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:17.160 before he plays. 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.400 It depends on where I you know, it depends on 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.479 what my cost was to get him. Probably I'm just 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.560 holding now because I'm just loving life that I have 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.240 him on my roster and we're a month in and 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:27.800 I think, no. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.200 I mean, I agree with this. I agree with all 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.400 of this. The bat is here. It's exciting. He'll be 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.520 a DH and everything like that. But it is a 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.120 little bit soon. It's a little bit sooner than it's 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.680 a little but it's impactful. I got multiple teams. I 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.520 got to put him in my lineup today. It's going 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.880 to be good for the Phillies in general. And just 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:42.720 ride it. 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.400 All right, the Mets are activating Max Sures or he's 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.880 not gonna bitch today though, because some slight weather concerns, 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.560 so they just said let's let's go out tomorrow instead. 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.080 So far Shures around the year three seven two ERA 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.839 one point one nine whips seventeen k's to nine walks 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.320 in nineteen innings. So it's been a little up and down. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.840 Mariso Dubon, though, was a player on my waiver wire 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.000 video a few weeks ago, plural weeks with an s 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.359 and the guy has just continued to do nothing but 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.719 hit three for five yesterday with a double, two runs, 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.720 a stolen base. I can't tell on everybody. It's not 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.120 like you're gonna get power out of this guy. But 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.360 as long as especially once Chas McCormick went down, who 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:18.800 was also playing well at the time in Hue at 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.719 the top of this order, he sort of took over 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.520 in that spot. And Dubon was a player who was 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.479 a roster percentage was so low, and I just said, 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.120 look at this guy, at least in the stop gap. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.760 You've got a great opportunity here to get some runs scored. 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.520 You got a great opportunity to get some batting average, 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.680 which is a hard thing to find. So Dubon has 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.080 been terrific this year, one of the I think unsung 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.520 heroes of the at least the Houston Astros lineup. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.120 Well in the ability to lead off. You know, the 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.040 Astros are always looking for a guy to lead off. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.280 He's fast, he makes contact. It's just a good environment 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.039 for him to score a lot of runs as well. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.320 So yeah, I think he's sneaky. He's sneaky, and the 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.800 Astros just want to like stick a guy there and 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.480 just not worry about it anymore. That's what they try 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.920 to do with Jeremy Pania. Dubon might be it. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.400 Yeah, let's go to a fun bit of news another day. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.200 Another young starting pitcher, Bryce Miller. So we're getting Miller 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.080 versus Miller today, which is really Miller time. It's going 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.040 to be enormous Miller time. So far in twenty twenty three, 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.080 a double A again making the jump here, Bryce Miller 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:16.960 from double A. Right? Was that my looking at the 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.039 wrong stats here? No? 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.279 No, you're right about this, you know, because yeah, Bryce, 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.480 And by the way, if you remember, Bryce was like 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.159 the very first guy I spoke to in spring training. 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:27.680 This was one of those guys I was able to 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.960 chat with during spring. He was so good, like he 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.039 was fooling the major leaguers on this team. But you know, 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.000 obviously they had their roster set they wanted to send 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.560 him down. I don't know why they put him at 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.640 double A. He didn't perform well, which means I was 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:41.279 gonna say. 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.120 The era has been terrible. He's at six cra so 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.840 and they keep saying they want to get quote an 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.479 extended look at him. So this is a little perplexing 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.080 because then a lot of people are looking again for 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.360 more pitching because we have these pitching injuries. So this 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.839 jump to double A after the spring performance and the 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.719 bad double A, do you think this is just sulking 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.400 for him a little bit? What do you mean, in 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.479 other words, like you expected maybe to be a triple 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.920 A this year, maybe expected, you know, if he performed 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:06.839 well in the spring, things will go better. The fact 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.920 he's been a double A, do you think that he's 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.080 been disappointed. He's kind of taken that personally and that's 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:12.320 hence the performance. 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.680 No, he's actually like he's a super like thought broach 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.560 like chill type of dude. He is a total cool 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.920 cucumber to the fullest. So I don't think so at all. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.840 What I do think is interesting, and I wonder I 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.720 didn't really like look into it is if there was 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.160 a thought and think about this for a second. Obviously, 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:35.640 the Mariners Triple A plays PCL and maybe they didn't 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.040 want to put their pictures in that environment. And they've 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.280 got all their top prospects for a double A Bryce Miller, 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:47.120 Dollard Emerson, Hancock, Prelander, so maybe the environment that they 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.160 wanted their pictures to be in was in a Double 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.920 A environment and not kind of set them back in 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.080 Triple A. Just a thought here, but Bryce Miller almost 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.320 had a rotation spot coming out of spring, and he's 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.160 the guy that he had. He did what everybody else did. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.160 He kind of scrapped a traditional slider and he turned 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.480 into a gyro and a sweeper, and he had actually 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.320 said that the I think it was the sweeper he's 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.480 more comfortable with right now. And then you've also got 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.280 that gyro, So you've got two points of a slider, 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.960 a great fastball. This guy has a awesome arsenal and 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.560 I actually think he's going to surprise, and you know, 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.240 maybe I'm just a little like, Oh, because I've been 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.080 around him much, I think he outperforms the other Miller 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:28.080 Mason Spy tonight. And I'm a big speculate on Bryce 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:29.760 Miller guy. Right now, I would pick him up. 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:31.320 He's gonna get a little bit of a run. Here 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.280 a lot of questions too, I see about Matthew Libator 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.800 in the chat. I mean, look, I told you two 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:37.520 weeks ago to add this guy. I mean you should 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.720 be adding him without a doubt, and by now he's 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.079 still I mean the ross percent just still low. So 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.280 you should definitely go out there and acquire him. Here's 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.640 an interesting one too. The Twins activated Alex Kirolov from 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.680 the ten day il yesterday. The option with Triple A, 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.360 which we kind of talked about was going to happen 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.360 at Triple A hitting three sixteen with four dingers, two 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.280 steals in eleven games this year. Should people be adding 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.520 Alex Kirolov because he's another guy that I think might 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.120 make my waiver wire video once I kind of look 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.320 at some of the across the board roster percentages of it. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.800 I mean yeah, Like I want to say yeah because 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.200 I'm a stupid believer in him. 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.920 Still, but I mean would you rather be throwing. I mean, 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.360 you can think about this like Aaron judgment on the il. Right, 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.000 we'll talk about that in a second. Obviously that's a 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.880 very big deal. We were saving that for the injury quotation, 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.280 and there's a lot of big injuries to get to, 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.920 Like you're trying to plug that spot right now. Krol 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.320 Off is up enough time to help with that. 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.719 No, But see that's my problem is like, right, I 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.920 don't see where the spot is. He someone has to 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.240 go down for the twins for him to come back up, 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.199 and it's got to be very specific. It's gonna have 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.360 to be like a left fielder, a d H first space, 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.640 it has to be Gallo again. So I just I 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.200 don't see where the spot's gonna come from because of 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.160 I guess you could say it's like his lack of 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.520 versatility right now because Larnick's not giving up anytime. Gallo 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.440 has been actually a hot bat, so like I want him, 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.080 I just don't know when it's going to happen, And 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.000 I just don't know what the translation is going to be. 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.880 So as cool as it is, I probably would go 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.640 in different directions with guys that are still crazy under 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.719 fifty percent owned in so many leagues. I mean, the 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.920 amount of Swinsky not being owned is absurd to me. 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:10.360 So I would probably pass on kirol Off until like 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.720 the moment someone is injured then you could bring him up, 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.319 because I just think it'd be like holding on to 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:14.920 him too long. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.160 Adam Wainwright coming back from the groin injury. Nine strikeouts 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.040 and five and two thirds on Sunday for him, by 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:22.440 the way, in that final tune up starts, so he 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.920 should be He could be floating around in some leagues 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.720 right now undrafted. No, let's get to the meat potatoes here, 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.880 because the Astro's rotation is taken. It's been a bad 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.280 couple of days. It's been a bad week for the 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.040 astros rotation. On Monday's Joe, we were just talking about 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.280 like Man and they got Hunter Brown and they've got 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.000 Christian Javier and they're doing for Amber Valdez. They're starting 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.600 to really, really good and then Garcia gets hurt removed 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.800 from the start last eight. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.720 Pitches into that pitches, watching that game, because I took 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.000 the inverse, if everybody listened on the betting side, I 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.000 take the Giants plus five through the first five that 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.520 cash but I was paying attention. I saw Garcia come 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.719 out and I was like, Oh, we're gonna take this, 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:00.719 and then they gave up run and then they got 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.280 it all back. But that was really worrisome because eight 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.040 pitches in did not look good. And it's it's on 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.200 the lines of like the d Gram. You know, anytime 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.240 you're hearing these arm injuries, you're just like, okay, well 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:10.880 we're done well. 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.560 And on top of that, Equidi is on the fifteen 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.079 AIO with the shoulder issue, so we got one with 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.120 an elbow, one with a shoulder. Both are very concerning. 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.400 Where do the Astros go here for starting pitching because 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.160 it's a good team and look, Hunter Brown's been very fruitful, 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.319 So who's next man up for them? In your opinion? 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.480 Well, as weird as it might sound, it actually might 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.800 be forced Whitley time. I mean, I'm having a hard 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:33.280 time figuring. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.240 That's what I thought the answer would be, too, and 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:36.959 I wanted to hear someone else say it besides me, 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:38.120 Well they've. 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.120 Got I think it's JP franc It's out there that 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.760 could be someone that you know, they could go down 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.440 that road, cause I think he's been pretty decent. The 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.520 problem is is Whitley really bad era so far? But 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.960 underlying metrics as far as like strikeouts have been there. 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.199 But the yeah, I'm looking, the walk totals are high, 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:54.840 the home run totals are high. I just don't know 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.520 if they would if they would ensure any trust in 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.160 putting him out there, you know what. I just don't 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.760 know if I would speculate regardless, even if it's one 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.679 of those guys, even if it's like France or Whitley, 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.800 I don't know if I would want to be carrying 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.640 or holding on to either of those guys. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.839 Those are happy to numbers out there. So his six era, 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.320 unlike Ryce Miller sixt yr, is actually from the PCL, 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:17.719 So that's what's in it to say. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.559 And his X fif's a little bit better. It's like 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.120 five eight four, but the home run numbers are pretty alarming, 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.920 not leaving anybody on base, and he's walking for I just, man, 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.640 I don't know. It's a great question. I just don't 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.360 think it matters because they've got two. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.319 It's not honestly, if you can grab both those guys 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.800 for nothing and wait and find out because there's two spots. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.680 So it almost is like if you have the roster 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.880 depth to do it in a deeper league. Yeah, have 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:43.880 the two. You see what's going on, and hopefully one 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.560 of them is good and there's gonna be opportunity here. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.679 There's two open spots in the rotation there. 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.959 This is another one of those teams though that it's 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.719 like we've talked about this with the Mariners where it's 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.079 like if they could start to get aggressive with anybody, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.520 I feel like the Astros would might want to give 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.080 a call around, like we talked about Edward or someone 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.320 will talk about in the trade video. But also the 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.240 White Sox. You know that it's a team that everybody's 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.360 kind of looking at maybe moving just they could probably 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.720 use like anything than what they have right now. 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.439 These back to back injuries. If I'm the Astros, I'm 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.400 on the phone to Detroit today because there's no way 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.760 you're getting both of these guys, Like, there's no way 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.680 you're not getting negative news on at least one of them. Yeah, 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.400 we're talking out for the year kind of thing. Like 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.839 it just feels like one of those situations. Potentially Rodriguez 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.480 would be a huge get for them, And look, they've 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.880 still got some pieces in order to move I mean, 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.520 I know they're not quite you know, as stacked as 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:33.920 they used to be, but the Astro still have some 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.440 pieces they can get the job like that done. The 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.480 Aaron Judge ten day il stint retroactor to the twenty 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.079 eighth with a right hip strain. Here's the Yankee order tonight. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.280 You're ready for this Welsh Anthony Volpi, Anthony Rizzo, Anthony 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.880 Gliber Torrez now just Glaber Torres, DJ Lemayhew, Willie Calhoun, 0:13:52.960 --> 0:14:00.160 Harrison Bader, Oswaldo Gabrera, IKF and Kyle Higashioka. This feels 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.679 like something the Tigers would be running out like this 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.560 is not good Welsh, like this is a rough This 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.319 is not the Yankees lineup right here. Andy's on the 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:09.160 mount tonight, by the they. 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.679 Could use a couple of Tony's in there with their 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.600 Anthony's as well, would be good. I mean, I like 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.319 Bibby a lot tonight. Yeah, no, it's not good. It's 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.000 the depth has not been good. They've got the slew 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.080 of rookies that they're putting out there, but with some 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.600 garbage type of play. It's actually amazing to me. I 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.040 was thinking, like you see these videos that the Padres 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.520 winning and like Routen o'dor is in the background, and 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.480 then the Yankees are trotting now like Willie Calhoun, like 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.520 I can't believe these guys are still in Major League Baseball. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.160 But yeah, the Yankees need some help. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.760 I like this one, Wonkey says, send Lance Linda Houston. Yes, please, 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:37.800 let's go. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.720 Yeah, that's it. Out of the White Sox. 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.880 Just just get out of there. It's just crazy right now. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.200 I could see the Astros moving someone like uh, Pedro Leone, 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.480 and then like you know, because White Sox love the 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.800 Cuban players, and then maybe like a pitcher, and then 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.760 getting Lancelin. I don't know what the what would the 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.760 White Sox be holding on to anymore so that that 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.440 actually might be it. There might be a fit there, 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.880 but god knows when the hell these trades start going down. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.680 Walkey saying that's not an actual lineup. Yes it is. 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.080 It's on fantasy Labs right now and I'm looking at 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.320 so that's that's what they projected lineup is going to be. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.200 But it's it's been a rough year for them. Also 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.160 a rough day at least for Ronald Acuna. He got 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.760 blasted in the shoulder by a pitch. I shouldn't laugh. 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:18.800 It's sad he got hurt. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:19.960 No, why are you laughing about that. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.480 I'm a Mets fan and you know, Rondacunia has been 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.160 killing them for years now, and somebody finally just you know, 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.640 threw a high entitle him. It nailed him. So, I mean, 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.880 this is what they used to do back in the day, 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.120 Back in my day, they should throw inside. Done, guys, 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.960 But nobody gets out of the way. Everyone's jumping in 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.960 the plate because nobody fears anybody. You know, Patri Martinez 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.080 was a great picture. But part of the reason Patri 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.080 Martinez was such a great picture because you were intimidated 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.800 and afraid he was gonna back you off the plate. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.840 He was gonna dust you if he had to. You 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.360 don't see any fear nowadays with all I mean, is 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.600 there a picture, in your opinion, maybe a Sureser or 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.240 somebody like that like that really that pitches inside or 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.400 that you fear a little bit if you're I don't 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.160 think there's anybody out there that's intimidating. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:04.600 It's sure, sure's there's number one. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.960 Suresier's number one for me too. But people forget, like 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.280 Brandy Johnson, Paedro Martinez. Yes, they were great at their craft, 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.520 but part of their craft was that intimidation factor. And 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.920 these guys get plungng sometimes because they just don't see 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.280 it coming, because they have no fear whatsoever of anybody 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.080 throwing inside on that. 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.560 Yeah, I'm trying to think of like any other guys. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.760 I mean, you know, pinpoint accuracy. There's there's a lot 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.920 of focus on. I mean, how many guys do you 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.600 really look at these days also and look and see 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.200 that like maddox esque command of the zone. I think 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.560 there's less of those guys. I'm not trying to say 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.560 that everyone's a thrower now, but the art of pitching 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.720 also has become a lot more about eye deception and 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.400 fooling where it's going than it is pinpointing points in 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:47.920 the zone. Not to say the guys don't do it, 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.960 but that's probably a part of it, because guys are like, yeah, well, 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:52.920 you know, I can't hit the zone, but I can 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.320 spin this three thousand and this is gonna screw with 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:56.920 everyone's eyes. So I think it's a little bit less 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:58.800
