Just nice, have a little palate cleanser, a 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.160 little sorbet of baseball. If you will.

So there you have it, 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.840 Walker Buehler striking out ten and gee, if only there 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.360 was somebody screaming to the hilltops yesterday on the show 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.760 that Walker Buler is closely underpriced on DraftKings. If only 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.399 there was somebody telling you, here, go make some free money. 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.360 I hope you made some. This is why you listen 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.480 to the show. Taylor Ward homers twice as the Angels 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.600 top the Guardians. A lot of Taylor Ward buzz here, bagman, 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.760 what do you make? Yeah, a hot start for Ward 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:50.200 so far. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.280 Hey, I like it. You know, two bombs today is fantastic. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.440 I've added him in a couple of spots. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.480 So look, this is the guy they said is going 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.840 to be the every day guy, and here he is 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:04.560 rewarding you with two bombs. 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.480 So thumbs up for Taylor Ward. 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.480 Yeah, Taylor Ward does certainly looking good. A lot of 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.320 people getting give me questions about him, what do you think? Like, 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.720 I would say the same thing. If they're there, you 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.400 can get them, pick them up. What do you have 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.200 to lose? Right, unless it's a really shallow league and 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.440 it's really tough than I understand. But in any league 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.080 where a guy's red hot and you think, hey, this 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.239 is worth a shot, you never know how long ride 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:26.160 that way last. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.840 You got to be like you jump on the wave, 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.600 you ride it, and then when it's over you get off. 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.280 It's fine, it's easy, it's. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.800 Fine, it's fine. Or some guys just never crash. I 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.200 mean up until you know, April of this year with 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.120 Maryfield's never crashed, right, Remember everyone's like, what do we 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.600 do with this guy? Like, well, pick him up and 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.519 see what happens. I'm sure he'll rebound. But still a 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.920 crazy game yesterday in Saint Louis, mex Sure's or wifts 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.680 ten and seven squirrels sittings. Incredible performance for him. 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.000 Then that's one hundred and six start with ten strikeouts 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:54.680 or more for him. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.080 It's that's it's just crazy, really really glad. I can't 0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:58.560 remember what. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.840 The Dbacks traded for UH to trade away maxures or 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.640 I think we got like d D back from UH 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.239 the Yankees and something else that was like a three 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:11.040 way trade, wasn't it. 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:12.000 I can't remember what it was. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.520 It was I'm gonna look at us if peanuts and 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.880 cracker jacks or bog then somebody looked that up and 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.880 let us know. So the Met's end up scoring five 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.320 runs in the ninth inning to beat the Cardinals. And 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.000 the wackiest part is it all kind of you know, 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.960 came to Fruition with a Nolan Aronaudo error, which we 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.239 don't see very often, one of the best defensive for 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.079 their basements, and you could tell he just didn't have 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:30.560 a good grip on the ball. He tried to rush 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.280 and tried to make the play, he just didn't make it. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.600 And then Pandora's box was opened, Boba Schett opened up 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.040 a cannon will pass go ahead grand slam in the eighth. 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.240 We talked just yesterday, just yesterday, Bogan, we were we 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.560 were all point yesterday. It was like, look with Meryfield, 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.480 Boba sheet, there's a bunch of guys struggling. Go make 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.560 offers of him right now today. Don't hesitate now guess 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.520 what the windows shut because he had a huge day. 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.120 Jock Peterson hits a six humber on this season. Some 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:57.280 good news injuries Hunt fine, I know how about that iron, 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:58.320 But doesn't he do this? 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.680 Jock Peterson, he come streaks right right like he comes 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.000 and goes in streaks. It's gonna be really good right now. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:04.480 I'm gonna be. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.480 Really bad later. By the way I looked it up, it. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.880 Was Curtis Granderson going to the Tigers, Ian Kennedy and 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.920 Edwin Jackson going to the d Backs. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.480 That's what they got. Or Max Scherzer So. 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.800 Ian Kennedy and Edwin Jackson. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:19.560 Yeah, a J. 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.200 Hinch proceeds to ruin Edwin Jackson square by letting him 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.960 go one hundred and eighty pitches in an eight walk, 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.120 no hitter, and Ian Kennedy. Ian Kennedy is pretty good. 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.520 Let's say a young runner up behind CLAYT. Kershaw one year. 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.000 But Kennedy had not Max Scherzer, So no Hall of Fame. No, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:35.640 not Max Scherzer. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.599 Also Max Scherzer is not Jacob de Grom. Some good 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.400 news at least, we think, because it seems like the 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.640 MRI yesterday showed and I'm gonna use all the correct 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:48.800 quotes here. Quote considerable healing end quote. De Grom has 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:53.640 been cleared to begin quote loading and strengthening end quote. 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.239 I mean he I'm allowed to move his arm again 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.440 like that, because that's kind of what it sounds like. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.760 Yeah, loading strengthening is the funniest term I've I've never 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.799 seen this term in all the sports stuff we've covered, 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:07.400 so I thought this was a new one and I 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.200 wanted to bring it up. Have you ever heard of 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:10.280 the loading and strengthening. 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.359 No, but I've never been through like physical therapy before, 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.120 so it's got to be a pet term, is what 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:17.000 I'm thinking here. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.400 So, uh, I guess it's good news. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.680 But it's not like this puts a time frame on 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.800 Jacob de Grom now or anything. They're just like, hey, 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.280 he's you know, he's allowed to move his arm right now, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.400 so it won't fall off later. So I guess this 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.560 is good news. It's it's better than nothing, I'll say. So, uh, 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.240 you know, but I mean I got one team where 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.440 I got Chris Sale, Jacob to Graham, and Jack Clarity, 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:38.600 So it's not going. 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.240 Very well in my teaching. Good paper in theory, I 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:41.920 mean on paper. 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.200 That's a great I mean, if we're talking about video games, 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.600 that's a great rotation. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:46.520 They can't get hurt. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.000 Here's wakee Penguin here for the Petaza Krakatracks. Gram will 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.880 be meeting with his psychic astrological arm physician tomorrow as well, 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.120 that's always good news. And then next week is his 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.320 meeting with the palm reader, so he'll be funny. 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:00.520 It's anymore about. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.520 Its loading after the show and can be loading and strengthening. 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.080 I'm gonna say this, I think it's very clear that 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.119 the way the Mets have gotten off to the hot start, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.640 the way the pitching and the starting realm has been 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.560 so good as well. I'm still thinking July, because if 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.800 we're looking at it reasonably right, if it takes all 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.000 of May for him to load and strengthen and get 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.640 back right to some sort of strength where you can 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.719 go and pick up a ball again, then it's going 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.520 to be at least three weeks to ramp them up 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.760 again with stars. Probably two to three weeks somewhere in 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.839 that range, unless they really rush them, which I doubt 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.840 they're going to do. So I'm thinking, look, mid June 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.400 would be awesome, but if you get them back before 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.440 the All Star break, I think that'd be spectacular. But 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.159 I just think they are so focused right now on waiting. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:42.880 So here's the one thing I will say. If you 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.480 have to Grom and you want to get out from under, 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.960 this is kind of the week to do it, because 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.560 you got a positive note, and I think you have 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.560 to be realistic. You've still got a good six weeks 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.680 ahead of you at least, if not eight, before you're 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.600 going to see him on i'm mound. If everything goes 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.640 right and there's no setbacks, that's my window for de Grom. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:06:59.960 What's your thought process? 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.799 Yeah, I mean you're under the thought of he comes 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.920 back and is closing too, right, was in that kind 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:06.240 of year? 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.520 Hold well, that was my big right if he can't 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:15.360 ramp up or if he has another issue in this process, 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.640 he's a reliever as a high leverage reliever, where you 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.200 just go out there and let him rip it for anything, 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.040 and then that's fine. He doesn't have that constant build in, 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.440 the constant armstress of pitch after pitch after pitch, for 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:25.160 inting after inning. 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.200 I mean, I don't think he's gonna pitch this year. So, uh, 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.400 this is good news right now. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.000 Oh, like George Jefferson, help me. I'm sorry, this is 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.000 good news right now. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.119 So I'm you know, if you can get like Tarik 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.840 Skubell or somebody for him, I might do that. Like 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.120 I just I don't see. I don't see how he 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.840 pitches this year. It seems like he's destined for surgery, 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.280 and that's not great news. 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:49.120 So we'll see. 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.360 I wish I would not have this, But the problem 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.400 is that's on what every every time it gets hurt, 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.160 it seems to be something else. It's the elbow, and 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.680 it's the shoulder, and it's something else. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.880 I got one thousand arms like terminate to give him 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:02.800 the mechanical arm. I guess I don't know what's happening, 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.720 but that yeah, yeah, well, I mean, isn't this what 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.600 happens when you don't get Tommy John surgery on your elbow, 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.440 then your shoulder starts to go. So you know, this 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.480 is not a is not a good scenario. This is 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.520 good news doesn't mean it has made it a good scenario. 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.400 So who would you rather have rest a season? Kyle 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.960 Wright or Jacob de Grom Kyle, right, Wow, no hesitation. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.720 I'm just figured I put that out there, all right. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.880 I mean, though, if he plays, that's a ridiculous take. 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.560 But I don't think he's gonna play. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:33.360 We'll see. 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.760 Well that's fair, but that's it's baked into the question. 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.440 That's why I asked it. The guy who's gotten off 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.360 to a red hot start, nothing but clear skies and 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.360 potential versus the guy that's not pitching right now. I 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.000 think it's a valid point to ask, because I'm sure 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.080 that's a move in some leagues you could pull off 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.840 on either side if you wanted to right now, like, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.160 depending on what your view is of the d GRAM situation. 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.120 Cavin Bigio place on the COVID nineteen list Eddie Rosario 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.719 having procedure for blurred vision, and so keep an eye 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:01.600 on that. I guess at. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.920 Least we at least that explains what was happening with him, 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:06.599 because Welsh and I were looking at his numbers the 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.000 other day on ITICL and I'm like, this guy has 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.280 three hits on the year. 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.040 It's like three or four hits in forty four at bats. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.160 He was hitting right around one hundred, which was off 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.000 on like, what is wrong with him? And then it 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.280 comes out the next day he's gonna have surgery on 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.800 his eyeball, so I think they said eight to twelve 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.959 weeks on that. So it's gonna be a little bit, 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:27.800 but at least we have a reason why he was 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:28.439 so terrible. 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.640 Angel Hernandez also set to get that same surgery, hopefully 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.880 on his eyes. Lots of blurred vision. Brandon marsh I 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.040 was gonna be back apparently in the line up today, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.880 so keep an eye on that. Can we talk about 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.719 this Bogman? Can we talk about the I'm sure you've 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.920 seen it at some point, the Garrett Cole butt touching 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.200 if you will, his own butt. Don't worry, don't call 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.600 hr Garrett Cole In the game on Sunday, he had 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.480 a let's just say a little bit of a brown 0:09:55.559 --> 0:10:00.120 stain on his right but and he kept going back 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.400 and forth to it after everything. 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:02.520 It wasn't from sliding. 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.839 Was I don't believe it was from sliding, because I 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.640 don't know where he would have slid. But I mean, 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.559 and it was the best start of the year, just saying, hmmm. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.280 Look at that. That's weird. 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.600 Yeah, I mean, at least he didn't slather it all 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.960 over his neck like Michael Pineda right. At least it 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.640 looks somewhat natural there. I mean, it doesn't look good, 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.160 but it looks somewhat natural there. But I mean, I mean, 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.840 how does no one notice this? Why are we talking 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.280 about it after the fact? So do you do you 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.200 think he's gonna have to do like a little spin 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.080 for the Empire, like they usually check your your gloves 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:39.000 and your hat and everything. 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.200 Do a little spin for us, Garrett, that's a little spin. 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:43.760 Yeah. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.560 In our private chat here on the s Y, I 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.559 put in the link if you haven't seen it yet, 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.959 I wanted to get your live reaction because it's pretty obvious. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.520 You know, he's you know, he's throwing gas and the 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.400 ball is moving a lot, and then he goes right 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.720 back and swiping. Now, as as someone who has roster 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.920 Chara Cole in a very important league, I'm fine with this. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.360 I got no problem. Like, if you ain't cheating, you 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.920 ain't trying. I feel like, yeah, baseball, it's kind of 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.880 the end. But it's pretty obvious he just keeps going 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.600 back to it, back to it. I mean obviously, Well, 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.959 here's the most annoying thing about baseball, Joe, here's the 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.319 most annoying thing about baseball. This will be taken care 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.000 of within a start or two, and Angel Hernandez won't 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.760 like Angel Ornanda is gonna keep calling games right and 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.120 this will get taken care of though, and he might 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.720 get a suspension or something. Well they I guess he 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.520 can't prove anything now, so probably won't get a suspension. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:32.760 But this won't happen again. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.120 Now that it's been pointed out to a bunch of people, 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:36.920 I can't imagine it happens again. 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.679 So very strange, very strange. 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:45.040 Yeah, his quote was pretty funny too about it. When 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:45.640 asked about it. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.640 He didn't freak out and panic and not talk for 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.720 ten seconds like all and then cry any of that again. 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.760 We basically, why does everything need to be something? You 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.880 know whatever? I mean, like it's well because you get going. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.960 Why do you make it so obvious? Stupid? 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.240 Put it on your belt, you idiot? Why do you 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.840 put it on a white uniform like? Put it underneath 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.920 your cap and rub your cat something. Make it a 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.880 little less conspicuous, Garrett, What are you doing? 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.920 Come on, Garrett, I've never read anybody that was like 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.520 such a parent. What are you doing? Garrett? That was 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:24.839 Garrett's energy that I'll ever have is right, there's say 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.400 because you never have the dead energy. That's like me 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:31.880 ELS's job. You're at it today. That's true. That's true. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.280 This day in baseball history. This is fun considering we 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:39.120 started talking about Bob Baschett before Dante Bichette in nineteen 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.319 ninety five. On this date, Corus Field, the National League's 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.720 first baseball only stadium in Colorado in twenty three years, 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.800 opens in dramatic fashion in Denver and Dante Bichett. It's 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.520 a three run homer in the fourteenth and eleven to one, 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.400 eleven to nine victory over the Mets. By the way, 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.880 I'm trying to remember who started that game? Actually, I 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:00.760 think I do know. I do know. Trivia question, who 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.920 started that game? You remember. 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.320 Danny Nagel out of my Campton. I have no idea. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.880 Pizza Cracker Jacks, Kevin Brown. Nope, nope, Pizza cracker Jacks. 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:14.400 Anybody want to take a shot at this one here 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:15.839 in the chat, Go ahead, I'll give you a couple 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:16.280 of months. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.959 My buddy has a funny Dante Boschett stories that spring 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:20.959 training a bunch of guys are yelling at him. 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:21.800 Calling him fat. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:26.120 You're so fat, Dante, You're so fat, and Bashett reaches down, 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.080 picks up a big old water grass, looks at him, 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.280 and then sticks it in his mouth and acts like 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.120 he's chewing on it. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.120 I'll give you a hint. Peanuts and cracker jacks. By 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.839 the way, it was their first selection in the expansion 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.959 Draft or whatever that was. So and I remember the 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.360 guy's name because I remember having his baseball card and going, 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.120 oh cool, this guy's a Rocky. The Rockies are new. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:51.160 That was so much. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:51.760 Man. 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.880 What year was that expansion draft? Ninety three? Expansion Draft 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:01.360 was ninety three. They came in a yeah, the expansion 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:06.320 Draft came in, right, man. I can't remember who it was. 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:06.800 Who was it? 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.600 The answer was David Need. Remember David Need again, you 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.440 were you were a kid, you were just a lad. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.320 I don't really remember David Need. No, I remember I 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.559 remember them signing my camp to that huge deal. I 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.760 remember them signing Denny Nagle or did they draft inning Nagel? 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:22.880 I can't remember which one it was. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.320 In that expand David Need made the first start ever 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:26.960 in Rocky's history. 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.000 That was the guy so good. 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.880 Do you remember who made the first start ever in 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:32.000 Diamondbacks history. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.080 Oh that's a good one. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.760 I was ninety eight, a little closer, but still, you know. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.480 Give me a give me a hint, and then I'll 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:41.120 think about it. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:47.080 He he played for the Cardinals before the Diamondbacks as 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:47.560 a starter. 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.800 Okay, all right, I'll think on that one. Stat Heroes 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.840 of last night Walker Bueller nine innings, ten k's for him, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.840 We talked about that. Corbyn Burns eleven strikeouts, did get 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.600 the no decision though, we talked about Walker Bueller on 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.800 DK being the better guy though, because path to the 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:05.480 victory was very clear there. Michael Lorenzen six innings, no earned, 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.280 just three k's, four walks, but he did get the 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.880 w f mber Valdez was solid again, got the no 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.440 decision though five k's for him. Surezer was dominant. Miles 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:18.160 Bicholas five k's, one walk, seven strong innings, no earned 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.240 runs for him. He was very sharp. Nadie Valdi five 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.280 k's from him to two earned runs over seven Barrios 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.080 was good too, two earned runs for him, no decision 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.320 against the Red Sox and of course the hitters yesterday, 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.640 Taylor Ward with the two home runs. Will Smith Welsh 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.280 is finally up on the board. He's up to two 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.800 right now. Jordan Alvarez with a home run. That was 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.400 the other guy we talked about buying Jordan Alvarez, Wit, 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.000 Marryfield and Bishett those are the three guys. So yeah, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.320 and we talked about Kyle Tucker who then was three 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.320 for four. The Astros were a stack of the night yesterday. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.840 So my goodness, I hope you have made money. Brandon 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.320 Nimma won for five, but he had a big two 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.640 run home run. Gritchuk also with a grand excuse me, 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.360 Gritschuk with a home run. Also we mentioned Baschet's Grand Slam. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.840 Reese host that a good night, Brice Harper with a dinger, 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.280 and Jock Peterson continues on and Connor Joe with another 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.200 home run too. What do you make of Connor Joe? 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.600 This other guy, that kind of he was. He was 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.600 a little divisive, I think this offseason. Then he saw 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.920 Tappya get moved to Toronto and that sort of opened 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.800 up the path for the joke, the Connor Joe truthers. 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.720 But do you think this is sustainable for him? 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.600 I don't know if it's sustainable at this level, but 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:25.720 he can be a solid outfielder for you for the 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:26.440 rest of the season. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.240 So that's that's what you like about him. 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:29.640 You know, these guys at the end of your bench, 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.480 all you're looking for is someone that won't hurt you, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.120 you know, that's it. And Connor Joe seems to be 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.520 that guy. He's got a very very good eye. And 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.600 you know, I tell you who else has been impressive 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.280 who you mentioned here? Michael Lorenzen has been fairly impressive here. 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.680 You know, I think he's had really one bad inning 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.560 the whole season, so he's been great. Did you come 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.640 up with that he come up with that first starter 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:52.840 in Dbacks history? Joe? 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.360 I didn't. And I was thinking about Cardinals and I'm 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.680 trying to think of like that arrow, So what year 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:57.920 was it? 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.760 This was nineteen ninety eight Cardinals picture. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:02.400 No, who was it? 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.240 Andy Bennis? Oh? 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:09.000 Wow, Andy Bennis. I should have gotten that, Andy Venice. 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:09.440 I just. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:11.840 Of course. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.119 I just remember he's coming out to go to the 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.119 mound for the first time for anyone in Dback's history, 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.879 and I'm watching on TV and he is just rabbing 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.520 his jockstrap like I don't know what's going on there, 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:24.000 but he is. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.400 He is adjusting it a lot, and I. 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.040 Was like, dude, this is a moment. What are you doing, 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.960
