I just saw the cycle this morn 21 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: with Kelly and Mayor. It was great. Go check it out. 22 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: I watched it this morning when I was on my walk. 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: They had some great conversations about Spencer Schreider. That continues 24 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: to be the hot topic everywhere. But I want to 25 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: turn my attention to the Braves for a moment, because 26 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,639 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks what a comeback yesterday down ten to five, 27 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: biggest night didn't comeback in franchise history. You know, you 28 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: meet these moments in a season, Welsh, and it feels 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: like this was a really tough one for the Atlanta Braves. 30 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is going to be the 31 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: one that they can come back from, but certainly a 32 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: horrible moment from them, and as surprisingly, I think tough 33 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: moments coming out of the Diamondbacks in this series because 34 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: with the Corbyn, Burtons news and all that stuff going on, 35 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: they could just shrivel up and die and they have not. 36 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: Also with the Braves, how apropos that not only did 37 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: they have a bummer in their bullpen, they also have 38 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: it to blew it in their bullpen. Bummer and blew 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: it both in there, not to be topped by rysl Iglesias, 40 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: who I think legitimately might be out of this role. 41 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: They brought up Craig Kimberl and I know everybody kind 42 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: of rolls their eyes, what was that with the Braves 43 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: and stuff? But Rysolglazias has been horrible. He gave up 44 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: three He blew this save. Diamondbacks. Both of these teams 45 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: have actually kind of gone back and forth of just 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: who needs it more throughout the season. Diamondbacks have been 47 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: on an absolute push down. But I think from a 48 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: Braves perspective, the thing that I'm holding most is I 49 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: think Rysol Iglasias might lose some saves and we might 50 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: want to look at maybe it's going to be Lee 51 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: or Kimberl. And on the Diamondback side, Brandon Fott has cooked. 52 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: You know, he got saved in this game. He has 53 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: I think the worst qualified era of any starter. Now 54 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: his expected era had been three runs over, so he 55 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: was done. You can let that pack. But it was awesome. 56 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: I mean, it was awesome to see katl Marte continues 57 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 2: to drop bombs. Cortman, Carroll getting you know, getting hot 58 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: or just trying to find some consistent syasons we were 59 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: talking about him. But absolutely ridiculous game if you had 60 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: a chance to watch it and Diamondbacks. 61 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: Win, Yeah, I sure do. Let's get to some more baseball. 62 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: Framber Valdez incredible performance against the Pirates, eleven strikeouts, seven innings, 63 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: three for three on the bets yesterday good stuff. Not 64 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: so good again. Maybe I'm just tired, maybe whatever it is, 65 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: but I rage drop some players this morning in our 66 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: fantasy pro league. I'm it's a ten team league, and 67 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: one of the rage drops was Jesus Lozardo. I just 68 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: I'm I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on there, 69 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: but I don't want to stick around to find out 70 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: the way her Wire's two good second straight outing where 71 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: he's been terrible eight runs in two and a third innings. 72 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: These aren't like, oh, four runs, five runs, twelve and 73 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: then eight. So his first eleven starts of the season, 74 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: I went and did the math here, right, uh two 75 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: one five ERA, one point one eight whip. The last 76 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: two starts he has an ERI of thirty one point 77 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: seventy six with a four to five eight whip and welsh. 78 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer is to. I mean, 79 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, don't get worried, but he's got the 80 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: Cubs neck week. I'm not playing against the Cubs offense 81 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: next week. There's no way. Yeah. 82 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: I think they said the twenty runs he's given up 83 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: over the last five is like the most to qualified 84 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: really pitcher has ever given over two starts and for 85 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: five innings. It's just ridiculous. I was looking at his 86 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: stuff in the game log to find differences in comparisons 87 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: versus what he's been doing on the year versus like 88 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: what he did in his last start. Number one thing 89 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: that stands out is he went primary sweeper in this 90 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: he had to dip down. It looks like his fastball 91 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 2: usage he'd been throwing it around thirty four percent of 92 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: the time, which is probably setting up the sweeper a 93 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: bit more. This one he went from thirty four percent 94 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: to twenty three percent and then his sweeper became his 95 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 2: primary pitch. Thought that was pretty odd. Pretty low zone 96 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: percentage on the fastball, under fifty on the sweeper, So 97 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: your top two pitches are barely over fifty percent. This 98 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 2: is like what Zach Allen was going through. You can 99 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: throw some strikes, but you're not throwing the right strikes. 100 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: The thing that I'm like, semi optimistic about is his 101 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: sweeper still looks great as far as you know with 102 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: rate and CSW percentage, but also like he didn't really 103 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: get hit. He didn't have a bunch of like hard 104 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: hit balls. I think it's a pitch mix thing. I 105 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: actually m okay, if somebody rage drops like Joe that 106 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: he's just Lozardo, I think I might look to pick 107 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: him up, or might look to speculate soon. I think 108 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 2: you'll get right, because you also have to ask yourself, 109 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: what is more of the anomaly. Is it the what 110 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: eleven starts prior to this, or is it these two starts? 111 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: What's the anomaly? But a ten man league does allow 112 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: you and gives you just too many of the ability. 113 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: I just look, it's out of nowhere. And he had 114 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: been so good, which we all knew wasn't gonna last. 115 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: But this isn't bad. 116 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: This is like, oh, it was historically bad, technically historically 117 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: bad these last two games, and it's just you wonder 118 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: mentally what that might take its toll. 119 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: And look, and a twelve team league, you're sitting them 120 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: next week. Don't throw him back out there. In fact, 121 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: here's a question, how many good starts do you need 122 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: to see from him before you throw him back out. 123 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: Is it just one again the Cubs, or you need to. 124 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: I think one. I would love to compare it to 125 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: the Like I said, it's not a big thing. But 126 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: what you do see is he threw a lot less 127 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 2: forcing fastballs, which again like this is another Gallon thing too, 128 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: just it's just in my brain from watching him this year. 129 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: Is like, if you are not able to set up 130 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: your other pitches and then that becomes your primary force, 131 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: that's what killed Gallon. He couldn't throw fastball for a strike, 132 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: so then you start going heavy, change up and knuckle curve, 133 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: and then guys aren't offering at that. And I think 134 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 2: if you have the same thing, Lozardo gets all his 135 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: whiffs not off a fastball but sweeper and change up, 136 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: and if he's trying to go to those and guys 137 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: aren't offering on it, things are messed up. So he 138 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: might just need to get a little bit more heavy fastball, 139 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: throw more strikes for it, and then it's gonna set 140 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: up all the other stuff. I just think it's fixable, 141 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: It's all I'm saying. 142 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: I think so I think, well, it's fixable, but I 143 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: don't know, man, we'll see if he has a third 144 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: bad start against the Cubs, lookout. 145 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: I mean maybe you want to own him and then 146 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: bench him against the Cubs. That's like what I would 147 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: probably do. But again, a ten team, like you said, 148 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: there's probably too much good stuff out there. But Lozardo 149 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: had been like. 150 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: The benches are so shallow in that league too, I 151 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: just won't want to have options. I feel better about 152 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: it rather stream guys. You know, Marcus Simeon homer twice 153 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: as he continues to be red hot this week. Of 154 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: the last seven games as batting average or five hundred, 155 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: he's been terrific. Tyler sodas from it at two run 156 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: homer and a grand slam. As the A's beat the 157 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: crap out of the Twinkies yesterday fourteen to three. Max 158 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: Freed got back on track. He was terrific against the Guardians, 159 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: one hit, just two walks and six scoreless sittings. Ryan 160 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: Pepio again has been quietly really good over the last month. 161 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: He struck out eight guys, six innings, two run baseball. 162 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: He never seems to get wins. Ryan Pepio, no matter 163 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: what goes on, like he's just no decision man. But 164 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: Pepio certainly seems like he has figured it out again, 165 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: and these last few starts definitely going the right direction. 166 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: I think he's a sneaky bilow in a lot of 167 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: leagues right now. 168 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a forty two ERA in April, and 169 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: then since then he just rattled off at two to 170 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: one five in May, and then this June start was 171 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: pretty good. He hasn't given up over three hundred runs 172 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: since April fifteenth, so there's some pretty decent consistency. He 173 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: doesn't walk a ton of guys. He's not a huge 174 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: massive strikeout there. I think he's just like a good 175 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: starting picture to round out kind of the lower parts 176 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: of your rotation. I don't know if there's tons of upside. 177 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: I think I'd still rather have Taj on the upside 178 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: long term, but Pepio is definitely like running into a 179 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: level of consistency. I will point out though he has 180 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: a full run higher expected ERA than he's got, so 181 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: he's got an elite three point two four point two 182 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: to one expected, So there's just kind of a little 183 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: regression any thing in there. You know. Again, with like 184 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: low strikeouts twenty one percent walk seven, that's average like 185 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: he's just like an average pitcher. I don't think I'd 186 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: have a massive leash on him if things get bad, 187 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: but they haven't been. 188 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: Nice to see some first time chatters here with us today. Luke, 189 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: it's Luke Eric Ruby.

That's what you 194 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: want you to be. All right, Let's get to some 195 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: more headlines from yesterday in Major League Baseball. A couple 196 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: of Rangers things to go over here. Robert Garcia blew 197 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: a save, so the opportunities are coming, but unfortunately for 198 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: him it did not work out. So we'll continue to 199 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: monitor that. If only they had another place they could 200 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: go for saves somehow. Anyway, Jack Lighter, no decision, Five 201 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: innings of one run baseball. He's one start away from 202 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: breaking out of NEPO babyism. Just one start. We'll see 203 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: if he blows it at the end. 204 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: Five amazing starts. 205 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: And amazing amazing oh stop stop, amazing innings. Oh my god, 206 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god. I'm gonna throw my 207 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: underwear on the stage for five innings. I'm so excited. 208 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 2: Comparative to how you talk about him, this is cy 209 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: young type of stuff because you think this guy should 210 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: be pitching in low A five starts. What's gonna happen 211 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: is he's gonna get hit in this next one and 212 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 2: you're gonna come on here and I told you so, 213 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: and it's gonna be the dumbest, most annoying thing on 214 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: the planet. Because he said his next. 215 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: Really good starts, next start again. 216 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 2: I hope he does it so you can eat that crow. 217 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: But we know, like he'll give up four and runs 218 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 2: and you'll find some caveat to it. Jack Lder has 219 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: been pretty damn good through fifty innings. He's got a 220 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 2: three and a half right better, Yeah, he's got I 221 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: mean again, like is he elite? Absolutely not? Barrels too much. 222 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 2: He doesn't have a good K minus walk percentage and 223 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 2: has expected era is is four point five six. So 224 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: like he's gonna come back down to earth. 225 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: Next starts against the Twins. 226 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: What it's not just nepo baby stuff. 227 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: One two, three, four five. It looks like his next 228 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: start is going to be against the twins. 229 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: He didn't give up nine. He doesn't give up nine, 230 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: and then it's gonna be like I'll be right, yeah, yeah, 231 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: you know, but I'll be right, which is right. 232 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: But how dare you call it? How dare you call 233 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: him awesome? And five inning starters? Chris Sale is awesome 234 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: Toik Scooble is awesome. Jack Lighter is becoming serviceable. Let's 235 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: not get it over our heels. I gave him cit 236 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: maybe said is one start away and I won't call 237 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: him a NEPO baby anymore. That's it. 238 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: But come on and or not fro here They were 239 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: fighting on Twitter guys yes yesterday. 240 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: Speaking of eating crow. Somebody got another home run yesterday, 241 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: Pete crol Armstrong to run dinger. Now, Pete Alonzo did 242 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: not go yard yesterday? Did he did he go yard yesterday? 243 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: I don't think so, because that's what you picked, which 244 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: means we're tied. 245 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: That's not who I picked. I I picked I Peter 246 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: Alens was my guy today. Yesterday I picked someone who 247 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: didn't get a homer. So that's what I do know. 248 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: Oh, okay, there you go, So we are officially tied 249 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: on the home run boards. 250 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 2: I told you you're gonna go past. I'm on the 251 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: cold I wanted. 252 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: To be there at the same time as you. 253 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: I want to hardcore cold streak. I'm not getting another 254 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 2: home or the rest. 255 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: Of the year, all right, I don't forget to see 256 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Kumar Rocker the rest of the year. He got sent down. 257 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: If only they could make him a closer, that would 258 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: be nice, Which again brings us to our Chasing Challenger segment. 259 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: That's right, Chasing Challenge is brought to you by Microsoft, 260 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: just like the athletes, to push boundaries and redefine what's possible. 261 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: Business decision makers today are turning challenges into opportunities, and 262 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: Microsoft means you where you are with tools and guidance 263 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: to help make you get an impact with safe, secure 264 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: AI solutions.

Look, Luke Jackson didn't work, 268 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: Garcia's not working. You've got a guy with a live 269 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: arm and a big presence and a big fastball who 270 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: isn't long for this season, who is struggling as a 271 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: starting pitcher. Why not give it a shot. Put him 272 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: in the bullpen. See what he could do at this point. 273 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: What's the worst that could happen? You save some innings. 274 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: He gets his confidence back just by blowing guys out 275 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: of the water for a few appearances. And then you 276 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: go okay, now go back and stretch out again, and 277 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: maybe we can use you as a starter, or maybe, 278 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: just maybe Kumar Racker can take all of his skill set, 279 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: move it into the ninth inning where being a little 280 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: effectively wild is actually a good thing, and become the 281 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: closer for the Rangers as the bats, like Marcus Simeon's 282 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: starting to get back on track. So Rangers, it's right there. 283 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm hanging to you on a platter. Take it. And 284 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: this is this week's Chasing Challenger segment.

They should. 295 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 2: You know, he's a ninety five mile an hour those 296 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 2: two different versions of a fastball. He can pump it 297 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 2: up in a short inning. Maybe he can get to 298 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: ninety six to ninety seven. He's got an awesome slider. 299 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 2: It's got a forty two percent with rate, and then 300 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: he can even go into a change up in a 301 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: cutter and maybe he can simplify his approach. He doesn't 302 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: walk a ton of guys either, which is something that 303 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: works in his favor. The six percent walk rate. You 304 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: would want that in the bullpen. Just let him throw 305 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 2: gas and then let him drop that slider in. He 306 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: does not look good as a starting pitcher. He's got 307 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: an eight era. Put him in the bullpen because your 308 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: bullpen sucks and it stinks, And I don't think that 309 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: would be the worst thing in the world to do. 310 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 2: And Bochi got so pissy when it got brought up. 311 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 2: What you should You should absolutely do it, because you're 312 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: putting out Luke Jackson and Chris Martin and Robert Garcia. 313 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: No good, He's no bueno. Shout out to JD. Rese 314 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: them with prime. Thanks JD. All Right, let's get to 315 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: the rookie lookie Jack keg Leona's first big league hit. 316 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: So that was a good thing there against the Cardinals. 317 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: He also played right field, mad a nice play there. 318 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: Matt Shaw three for five, three singles, a stolen base, 319 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: two run score. Fill in that stat sheet. We said 320 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: it would happen, and it did. Look at us Kyle 321 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: Teal getting promoted so finally slashing two ninety five, three 322 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: ninety four four two eight homers, thirty Ribi's the fact 323 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: that he's playing some first base means going to be 324 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: in the lineup every day. I know Elko got called 325 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: up to Kyle Teal is going to be in the 326 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: lineup every day. Catcher, first base, DH, she's gotta get 327 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: at bats. Well, I think it's time. I think you 328 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: go out there, and I think you're aggressive on Kyle Teal. 329 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: I don't see him getting sent back down anytime soon, 330 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: even if he struggles. The future is now for the 331 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: White Sox. 332 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I talked a ton about Kyle Teal 333 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: and I was wrong because they ended up going towards 334 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: Edgar Carrow. But then we got Teal back, and I 335 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: think it actually surprised a lot of White Sox people. 336 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 2: I love the idea that he's going to play some 337 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: first base. He's got you laid it out right there. 338 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: He can do some dh I think he can be 339 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 2: the second catcher, he can play some first get him 340 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: playing time. You hit two ninety five in triple A 341 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: and almost four hundred OVP. He's got power, he can 342 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: steal some bases. There's some decent offensive threat in his game. 343 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: And I love the White Sox doing this. Stop putting 344 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: out the Andrew Vaughns and the Michael Tatel, like, stop 345 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: putting out these guys that don't do anything for your 346 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: organization long term, unless you're trying to build up their 347 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: trade value, I suppose. But yeah, give us Elco, give 348 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: us Kyle Teal, give us Caro, and then at some 349 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: point give us Colson Montgomery. Just give us the young guys. 350 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 2: Kyle TiAl definitely has some nice fantasy value. And that's 351 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: a great question right there, of Teal versus Agustin. It's 352 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: tough without seeing Teal at this moment, but I do 353 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: I think a Gustin Augustin is going to have like 354 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 2: a bigger power potential, but I think Teal might be 355 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: more well rounded long term. 356 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: He's a better OBP guy. He's gonna yeah. I think Look, 357 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: I think power is I think power is not that 358 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: far off. Maybe Ramirez a little bit more in the 359 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: power side. It's all so hard, but consistency in leagus 360 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: where strikeouts cut against you OBP situations points leagues. I 361 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: want Teal, even if he struggles a little bit early on, 362 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: I think patience will be rewarded. And I think it's 363 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: interesting because it seems like the White Sox have a 364 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: plan with these guys Teal my draw. These are guys 365 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: that are you know, they they walk, they have good 366 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: at bats, you know, they kind of fill the statue. 367 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: They're trying to get a better baseline. I feel like offensively, 368 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: which is good, it's a good thing your point to 369 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: steal some more bases. But at least there these guys 370 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: get on base, and that's that's good. Let's swing and 371 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: miss in this White Sox future. 372 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 2: Well to your point, like a guy that Colson Montgomery 373 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: was someone who thought might break camp with the team, 374 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: but he has massive swing and misissues and they sent 375 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: him down. They send him down to the developments here. 376 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: Did you see recently. 377 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, That's what I'm saying is he was so 378 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 2: bad and they hated his swing so much they send 379 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: him back down here to Arizona to rework his swing, 380 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: and then he has come back up. His stats still stink, 381 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 2: but it's because of the longevity of the season. As 382 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: of recent he has picked it back up. But to 383 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 2: your point, it's like they're not gonna they're not throwing 384 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 2: these guys in the deep end, like they're gonna get 385 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: them right. And they've got that plan, and Colson has 386 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 2: a chance to be like an impact power bat if 387 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: he figured out some of the swing stuff which may 388 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: be happening. 389 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: Last sixteen games for Colson Montgomery two seventy six, three 390 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: eighty two, five eighty six slash, that's pretty good. 391 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 2: Love it, and we'll probably see him post I would imagine, 392 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: like post All Star Game would be a good time 393 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: for him to start getting. 394 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: After the Futures Game. I think he might be in 395 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: the Futures Game even you never know which we got. 396 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: You know what, maybe next week I saw you can 397 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: start voting for U you know, All Star Game. We 398 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: should do that on the show next week. 399 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 2: I saw the Rockies, the Rockies, but they're like, vote Rockies, 400 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: and I was like, which Rocky Who I actually think 401 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: the well I got. 402 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: The answer for that. I think I think the answer is. 403 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to think about it. Tom Todd, Hilton. 404 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: Todd Helton, Yeah, I want to vote no the offre walk. 405 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: My god, why can't I keep want to say Brenton Doyle, 406 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: He's no, not no, not Brent Doyle. The other outfield Beck, Jordan. 407 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 2: Beck, I don't know. 408 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: I think that's the only guy. 409 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: Having to have a player is massively stupid. The bad 410 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 2: players that get put into these All Star Games. I 411 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 2: think Joe Mantiply with the Diamondbacks had to one year, 412 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 2: like let's just put the best players, not a player 413 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 2: per team. But they're like, vote Rockies. 414 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: Are you going to be? We don't die. We Mantiply 415 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: gotta be. Christian Moore three for five with a homer 416 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: on Thursday at Triple A, but but Chandler three runs 417 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: in two innings than a rain delay unfortunately, want wah. 418 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: So that was it for Bubba Justin Crawford Walsh's dude 419 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: three for three, three ribies. I don't know what more 420 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: he's got to do. 421 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: You got to go over the game, by the way 422 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: last night with a quad issue though, yeah, I know, 423 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 2: one started speculating who do you think makes to the 424 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: majors first, Bubba Chandler, Brandon woodrow. 425 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: Bubba Buba Chandler. 426 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 2: I don't know. 427 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: More on Woodriff later. God, I mean, I couldn't leave 428 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: the show with it because I would just walk off 429 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: the show. Three up and three down Junior Cameronaro home 430 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: run man? Has he been hot? Oh my god? Cal 431 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: Raley two for four with a homer. He's at the 432 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: twenty four to three RBI. Cal Rowley should get a 433 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: little bit more MVP love, Like I know Aaron judges 434 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: where he is and where he should be and all 435 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: that stuff. I just think it should be a smaller 436 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: gap between the two of them because cal Rawley is 437 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: catching on top of hitting twenty four home runs. I 438 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: just think as of right now, that would be fair. 439 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: Tanner Scott also defensively is one of the best defensive 440 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: catchers in the league too. 441 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, he's really good, but catch. 442 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 2: They asked him about the home run derby two and 443 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: he said he wants to do it, so be on 444 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: the lookout for that great. 445 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure everything will go swimmingly after that. Tanner Scott 446 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: scoils ninth inning is the Mets dropped one to the Dodgers, 447 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: but the Mets still have a better record than the 448 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: Dodgers do and they're in first place over the Phillies. God, 449 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: it's such a that made that perked me up some 450 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: today because I'm tired. Mitch Killer not great, six runs, 451 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: eight hits. These are the downs for today. David Festa 452 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: eight runs, three and two thirds. Oh so, welcome back 453 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: to the Shokes and not good. Cole Reagan's five runs, 454 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: three innings of work. So Cole Reagan's. You know, we 455 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time crapping all over the season 456 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: of Spencer Strider. Can we can we take a couple 457 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: of moments and maybe shift the bowl over to Cole 458 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: Reagan's for a moment? Can we please? 459 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 2: Sure? I mean, what do you want to you want 460 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 2: to get into it? 461 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, where are we at with 462 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: col Reagan's. I know, but this is the second time 463 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: we had the first start coming back and it's been 464 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: bad and we've had injuries and frustrations. I mean, is 465 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: another guy too, that I think has just been wildly 466 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: inconsistent this year and a massive frustration based on his ADP. 467 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean one, it stands out right here. He 468 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 2: had a thirty five percent zone fastball percentage, so he 469 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: could not the fastball in the zone. You show me 470 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: that alone, I would probably tell you he's gonna get 471 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 2: banged around. And that's what happened. He left his change 472 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 2: up in the zone. This is really weird slider in fastball, 473 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: just not in the zone at all. It was really 474 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: only the change up and then a little bit of 475 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: the knuckle curve. He was throwing those for strikes. That's 476 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 2: not a recipe for success. But he has a five 477 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 2: point one ERA, one of the best expected eras in 478 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: the league at two point five to nine, So that's 479 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: a positive regression play. Not that it's going to get 480 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: there or anything like that, but you know, he's still 481 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 2: got the stuff. I'm a buye on Cole Reagan's right now, Like, Okay, 482 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: there's definitely some negatives, but he is over it's not 483 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: the right word usage of the word, but his pitch 484 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 2: types against batting average is over performing or it's getting 485 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: hit more than it should expect. Batting averages lower against 486 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 2: the fastball, lower against a change up, lower against the slider, 487 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 2: lower against every single pitch type. So there is some 488 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 2: positive regression coming. So I'm a buy on call Reagans. 489 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 2: But you know you were worried about starting Bryce Harper 490 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 2: coming off of an injury. You're not worried, but sitting 491 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 2: here worried. 492 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: I had the question was all these other options? I 493 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: was like, and you know, one of the options was 494 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: Camon Arrow. I was like, well, I'm not sitting Camon 495 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: Arrow and Camaro at a home run that same day. 496 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: So but my more point is like, I'm more worried 497 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: about pictures coming off of the iya than I ever 498 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 2: am a hitter, So I'm going to give him the 499 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt. Also, there's there's a lot of 500 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 2: stuff in his game that I think carries over a 501 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 2: year over year, but it's not been good for sure. 502 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: But this is screaming. This is going to be my 503 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 2: probably next week pick of a of a trade candidate 504 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: is going to be called Reagans. 505 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: Michael Harris didn't hit a home run yesterday to me 506 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: because I wore a wig or two or three. Now, 507 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: Riley Baldwin and akoon Ya. I'm just checking up just 508 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: to see how he did. He did it with the 509 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: Diamondbacks too, Yeah, that's why I was checking. I was like, 510 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: he did have two hits. I was looking at the 511 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: box score just now, so that's good raises average at 512 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: two thirty two. That's encouraging discouraging. Let's get to the injuries. 513 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Woodriff. He's gonna go back out on a rehab 514 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: assignment eventually because it's a right elbow contusion and he's 515 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: gonna need more time, which means more rehab, so he 516 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: could be out till the end of June. I've heard 517 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: other reports say the All Star break is when he 518 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: might come back. I don't know, Welsh, I just just 519 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: I'm out of the business of Branda Woodriff. I don't 520 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: know what this is. 521 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 2: How you said it something like he was gonna go 522 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 2: on the Oregon Trail by the way, You're like, he's 523 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 2: gonna hit the He's gonna hit the old rehab trails soon. 524 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: And it's like, oh no, Brandon Woodriff has dysentery. 525 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 3: I've got the Brandon Woodriff blues. He's never gonna pitch 526 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 3: for the bruise I got them Brandon woodrid Blues. He's 527 00:23:51,880 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 3: never gonna pitch again. That's the news. 528 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: Brand wound of Blues, everybody right here on the show. 529 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it would be comical if it 530 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: wasn't so tragic. I feel I also hate rage dropped 531 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: him from that league today too, because. 532 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 2: I just comedy is tragedy. My friend. 533 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do it anymore. I just can't. 534 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: I just can't do it. Just done. I'm done, I'm out. 535 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: Matthew Liberator removed due to an injury, so his velocity 536 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: was down some issues there, So what's the panic button 537 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 1: here on Matthew Liberatory? He says it's just a fatigue, 538 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: which is fair. You know he's throwing a fair amount 539 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: of innings this year. You know he's taking the ball 540 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: o your fifth day for the big club, you know, 541 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: finding consistency. So what do you make out of this 542 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: recent injury for Libertor? 543 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm obviously a little bit worried about it, 544 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 2: especially if he carries over but you know, if he 545 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: pooh pooed it, and you know, he's never really like 546 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 2: done this in a major league sense of going this 547 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 2: far and being this successful. I mean him a little 548 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 2: bit of benefit of it out because he's been pretty good. 549 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 2: But I might be a little bit more cautious in 550 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 2: his next start if I'm really hugging Ratios or something. 551 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 2: Maybe I don't don't start him to see if this 552 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 2: is gonna carry over. But I'm, like I said, cautiously 553 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 2: optimistic that he'll be okay. 554 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, uh all right, let's move on to another depressing 555 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: one here. I'm just I'm just the Brandon woodrid thing. 556 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: I saw it yesterday and it's just I just you 557 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: know that Schmidt meme from New Girl where he just 558 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: goes like like that was me. I just I could 559 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: not fathom it anymore. Shane Bieber scratched from his minor 560 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: league rehab start. Everything I've been going just fine for him. 561 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: He seemed to be going okay, renewed soreness in his elbow. 562 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: So what's going on is this nobody can do the 563 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: surgery anymore? Did doctor James Andrews retire and like nobody 564 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: learned how to do it.

Scooble on the mound for 617 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: Detroit today. Love that, So let's go oh with scooball 618 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: against the Cubs. I know the Cubs are good lineup. 619 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: Schooble's better minus one and a half on the run 620 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: line plus one twelve and then Jack cag Leon, how 621 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: about over one and a half total bases at plus 622 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: money plus one twenty five and give me Juan Soto 623 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: is heating up to drive it around at minus one 624 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: ten against the who Colorado Rockies. Not to mention the 625 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: fact that Juan Soto has four at bats against SENSATELA. 626 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: Two of those hits. He's got those four at bats 627 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: or home runs. So let's go. It's time, Welsh. Where 628 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: are you going for your best best for Friday? 629 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Cincinnati. We are taking a 630 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 2: first five money line on Cincy today. I'm trying to 631 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 2: pull back up the matchups. Why, oh yeah, because the Diamondbacks. 632 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: Edwardo Rodriguez is not good. Watch him in his rehab 633 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: stint where he gave up three homers to eighteen year 634 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 2: old Complex League players. His fastball is dead, his changeup 635 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: looks incredible. But if he goes to it early, I 636 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: think the Reds are going to get to him right 637 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: out the shoot. I think they're gonna take an early lead. 638 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 2: Nickoladolo has been pretty great two three one era. He 639 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: minimizes the Diamondbacks offense early. Edwardo gives it up early, 640 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: first five money line. If they're tied, we push. If 641 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: they're up, we win minus one fifteen. Going against the 642 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 2: Diamondbacks with the Reds Oneo Cruz stolen base, we are 643 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: going to bet that Oneal Cruz is gonna be able 644 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: to get on base versus Joe Ross. And if he 645 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: gets on base, you know there's one thing happening. He 646 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 2: is stealing. It's almost three to one Onell Cruz. They 647 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 2: need to be aggressive against the Phillies. They will be 648 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: Oneil Cruz stolen base plus two seventy and Manny Machado 649 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: we're gonna go over total bases plus one hundred just 650 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 2: get me in the business against the Brewers and Chad 651 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: Patrick Manny Machado two total bases today.

Do we think either one of us 689 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 2: will get on this board before specifically you are gone, 690 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: but then there'll be a point where I leave as well. Well. 691 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: I hope to see us both there. That's my goal. 692 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: My goal is Monday, we get back to the show 693 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: and we're both back on the board. Wonky's there with us, 694 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: and we have one day in the sun where all 695 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: of us are up there. 696 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 2: We never had that at the beginning of the year, 697 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 2: right because you were cold to start. 698 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: I was ice cold to star. Where's on this board too? 699 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: Is he even calling home runs anymore? Does he even lift. 700 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 2: Bro cycle videos? You can't partake with us. 701 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: And that's what happens. You know, you start doing on air, 702 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: you know, camera stuff, you start getting a little bit 703 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: full of yourself. 704 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 2: Holding green M and m's, you know, your whole thing stuff. Yeah, 705 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 2: it's the whole thing. 706 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: You only answer slack messages between two and two fifteen 707 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: in the afternoon. It's a whole Thing's the whole thing 708 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: is Star. Now, that's what happens. So now what are 709 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: you gonna do? 710 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 2: Uh? 711 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: You know, so what are you gonna do? I like Wonky. 712 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: Wonky can manage to do all of those things and 713 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: make home run calls still, So that's why Wonky's the best. Well, 714 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: let's take a couple of questions here on the way 715 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: out today. Here's one, Uh, this is just funny. Would 716 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: you if it comes back first or my dad comes 717 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: back from getting milk at the store? I think your 718 00:32:53,520 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: dad comes back first. Yeah, seriously, Chase my draft or 719 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: Parker Meadows. 720 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 2: Who would you rather have h if it was a 721 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 2: points league? Probably my draft, but I'm gonna go with 722 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 2: Parker Meadows. 723 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: All right. Here's one. Uh, do tilor Augustin we did? 724 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: Is Adley turning things around finally? Of course he goes 725 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: off this week on my bench. Well that's that's the 726 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,959 Speaker 1: way it goes sometimes. But Rutchman has seemingly turned things 727 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: around away. He's such a good player, He's such a talent. 728 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: Do you imagine at some point things get right for him? 729 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: That whole Orioles team him, everything has just collectively gone 730 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: awful to syear for them. 731 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm looking too. I mean, right off the shoot, 732 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 2: you can see he's about forty points lower babbit than 733 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 2: his career. But like, he's had two horrifically bad months 734 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 2: two oh five and April. He hit one eighty two 735 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 2: in May without any type of breakdown, like, that's just 736 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 2: not adle Ady just makes a bunch of contact and 737 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 2: if you look at his underlying stuff, here's the other 738 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 2: crazy part. Everything looks better year over here. He's barreling 739 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 2: the ball. Then he's more than he's done. He's hitting 740 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 2: the ball harder, more than he's ever done. He's his 741 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 2: walks are up. That launch angle sweet spot, if you 742 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 2: care about that, it's something Mookie does at a high level. 743 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 2: That's up is I mean, everything looks like it's up, 744 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 2: but it ain't. Everything is underperforming right now. So it 745 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 2: looks like there's probably a nice bounce back in store 746 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 2: for Adley, But I would also caution it with like 747 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 2: who's Adley been? Adley might be one of the most 748 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 2: like expectations versus results don't equal a lot because he's 749 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 2: not a twenty five plus home run hitter. 750 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,959 Speaker 1: Averages Matt Widers two point zero. 751 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, kind kind of. I mean he's better. 752 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: People will forget people for Yeah, the Matt Wieders prospect 753 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: lower was like the next Mike Piazza. That's what we're 754 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: hearing about. Matt Wieders. 755 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 2: You're not wrong, I. 756 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: Mean, I think you know if you didn't live through it, 757 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: you don't understand it, and you're like, I remember that guy. 758 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: He was like, you know, on the Nationals for a 759 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: cup of coffee at the end of his career. No, No, 760 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: Matt Wieters. Once upon a time was supposed to be 761 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: like the big catching impact prospect and people bid every 762 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: year and it just never really worked out. And I'm 763 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: not saying it's the same, but I'm just saying it's 764 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: the same organization. So take that with a Greate assault, 765 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: you know, Dylan Bundy another you know, it's fun. You 766 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,919 Speaker 1: start to go through the Orioles prospect lore. It's had 767 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: some hiccups. It's definitely had some hiccups over the years. 768 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: Catch a replacement for Shay Langeliers from Lake or Baldwin 769 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: or Dylan Dingler. I'm going Baldwin. You want your Dingler, 770 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: you want Baldwen. 771 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 2: I do not want the Dingler. Keep it away from me. 772 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Drake. Baldwin over three hundred powers, 773 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 2: still up, Team Moore playing time. 774 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 1: Sounds like a Diddy party. Hey, Reagan's and adamis for 775 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 1: Swanson and Joe Ryan. I want the Reagan side. I 776 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: want It's been awful. 777 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 2: I want the guy. So then it becomes like who 778 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 2: do you want? You want Joe, Ryan or Reagan's And 779 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 2: I want Reagan's. 780 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,760 Speaker 1: All right, Louis heel is he worth stashing? 781 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, He's come back at some point, man, I will 782 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 2: see this too. 783 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: That's what people told me about Brandon Woodruff. Just want 784 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: you to know. 785 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good that's not it. That's not 786 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 2: a bad point we talked about. I'll talk about the 787 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 2: people obviously deserved to be talked about. Man, it was 788 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 2: great video. Lance Brasdowski, who joined us on Fantasy Fest, 789 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 2: did and it was all big. He just dropped it 790 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 2: yesterday and it was based around the Yankees and what 791 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 2: they're doing pitching development. It's a pretty nerdy, like heady 792 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 2: video if you're not into that stuff, but it talks 793 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 2: about how far ahead this organization is and they're pitching developed, 794 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 2: and how Max Fried has shined, how Ryan Yarborough has 795 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 2: gotten better, how Carlos Redon has dominated, and what they're 796 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 2: doing in the minors and what they're specifically doing with 797 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 2: change ups with guys. And to think that Luis Heel 798 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 2: on the verge of all this is going to be 799 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 2: coming back soon. 800 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: I had. 801 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 2: It was a really really great video to kind of 802 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 2: get excited long term about just Yankees guys. So with that, 803 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 2: once heel is back, there's such big strike up potential 804 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 2: and what they're doing over the last year or two 805 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 2: gives me, yeah, exactly. Yay Sports is talking about it. 806 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 2: The one seemed changeups that a lot of these guys 807 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 2: are throwing in the success they're finding from it. That's 808 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 2: one thing that helped Ryan Yarborough that I would just 809 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 2: put that over to say that, like, when Luis heel 810 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 2: is back, the Yankees might be at the tippy top 811 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 2: of pitching development right now and our unlocking stuff that 812 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 2: I would feel pretty pretty positive about it.
