WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off May 11th, 2022 (Ep. 508) 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:16.799 Read them and weep. Let's play ball. Welcome everybody to 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.119 leading off right here on Fantasy Bros. MLB, brought to 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.159 you by Ben MGM, the King of sportsbooks. It is 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.919 me and it's Mike Mayer today with you, Joey P 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.280 and Mike E. M This is the boys getting it done. 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.760 Mike is fresh from the from the dentist chair. So 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.279 show everybody the big pearly whites. Oh, there they are 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.040 on the YouTube channel. You got a good check up yesterday, 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:38.560 a big. 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.000 Guy, great checkup. 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.360 Whenever you don't have like a cavet or a root canal, 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:44.599 you know that's a win. They still, you know, they 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.720 scrape your gums a little bit too much for my liking. 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.839 But other than that, you know, as good as it 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:49.920 could have gone. 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:51.640 Do you think they enjoy that. I feel like they 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.080 hygienist enjoys the scraping of the gums. I feel like, 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:56.360 you know, that's one of those things when they get 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:57.960 in there and they're like, oh yeah, it's gonna hurt 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.520 a little bit. And and the the sharp of that 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.840 tool seems staggeringly strong to me. I feel like it's 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.240 made out of wolverine's claws because I don't know how 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.320 they could dig in there the way they dig and 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.880 then not ever break it. It seems like an indestructible material. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:12.839 Your thoughts, Mike Mayhor. 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.959 Yeah, they definitely enjoy it, and they definitely spend like 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.840 way too much time on like the top front where 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:19.840 it's like the most sensitive, and they just have this 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.280 like razor sharp tool that vibrates and like sprays water 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.240 and they're like, I'm just gonna like scrape you clean 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.120 for a while, but like spend the most time in 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:29.360 the areas where it hurts the most. 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.400 So they definitely enjoy it. I mean, what else did 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.399 you enjoy? Looking at people say that's. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.320 True, I had a streak, Mike Mayor. I never had 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.120 a cavity in my entire life until I hit forty, 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.880 and then it was a cavity that turned out to 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.640 get infected and had a root canal. So I did 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.200 the whole thing and it wasn't so bad. I mean, 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.280 people complain about it. I mean, the root canal didn't 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.520 hurt nearly as bad as the tooth hurt before. But anyway, 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.360 hopefully today's show won't be like pulling teeth. We're gonna 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:55.560 talk baseball. And I start with the big news of 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:59.960 the day and that is Redebt Mers going no no again. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.560 It's the Tampa Bay Rays. So this was a fun 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.600 little stat. He was started in eighteen percent of leagues 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.959 this week on CBS. I went and I found that 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.079 because I thought that was very amusing. So Reed Debtmers 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.680 helped some teams, not a whole lot of teams, but 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.320 eleventh career start, a no hitter. Not a lot of 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.040 strikeouts in this one, but a fun night of baseball. 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.600 It also included Anthony Rendone hitting a home run patting 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.680 left handed off of Brett Phillips, so that was a 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.399 good time. Mike Trout hit to him runs in that game. 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.560 So would you take away from this one from Reed 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.919 Debtmers last night for the Halos. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.840 Well, it was funny. He only had two strikeouts. Also, 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.680 Phillips is also the person who almost had a hit 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:40.840 in this game. I don't know if you saw that 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.359 highlight of the ground ball at a first base that 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.160 Jared Wallace botched that Phillips may have beaten out if 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.320 it was a clean ground ball. So that was the 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.079 only questionable one. I think it's right to call it 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.000 an error, but I do think there's maybe a fifty 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.760 percent chance that Phillips beats out that ground ball, even 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:58.720 if it's filled cleanly. 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.320 And fun fact, the few strikeouts in the complete game 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.280 no hitter is not redebt meurse, no, no. They were 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.840 zero strikeouts three times by Earl Hamilton in nineteen twelve 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.280 when I was born, Sam Jones in nineteen twenty three, 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.960 and Ken Holtzman in nineteen sixty nine when Mayor was born. 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.880 So there you go, no hitters with no strikeouts. That 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.200 seems like a tough thing to pull off, but alas 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.760 this is the beauty of baseball, Strange things always happen. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.000 Speaking of strange things, about that, Justin Verlander to get 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.000 a no hitter alsmost to the wire as well. He 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.520 lost it in the eighth inning, only eighty four pitches 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.000 with one out in the eighth when he gave up 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.920 his hit. Verlander is completely bounced back. I am not surprised. 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.000 One of my favorite investments this year. So hopefully you 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.040 listened on that one. Aaron Judge first career walk off 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.320 home run. The Stanton home run in this one was 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.080 a joke. The ball that was hit by Espinal that 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.640 was ruled a home run and then a double was 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.240 a joke. Yes, Yankee Stadium is a joke. This has 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.160 always been the case. Let's get over ourselves. But still, 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.520 Aaron Judge the first walk off, This was certainly fun. 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.080 It feels like Aaron Judge is fixing and get paid. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.120 What are your thoughts on the walk off there for 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.640 the big mat. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.120 Yeah, well, I'm glad he hit the walk off like 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.360 six hundred feet because it made up for the Stanton 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.680 Ham run going like two hundred feet in that joke 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.240 of the stadium. Yeah, I mean we've seen Aaron Judge 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:18.640 like get hot and then like he goes to that 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.640 period where like people just figure out that he can't 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.760 hit sliders away and so then like his stroutgrapher a 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.280 little while. But I think he's fixing to get paid, 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.920 and I think the Yankees probably botched this a little 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.880 bit not paying him before the season, although I think 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.560 I could see both sides of that one, and I 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.839 think ultimately I kind of lean like Yankees with like 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.200 his injury history and like not paying him so like 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:38.840 they can't afford to lose his But for. 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.839 The Yank I think it's good for the Yankees to 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.160 because of the injury history he's had. I think you 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.040 could sell it to the fan base better coming off 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:48.760 the big year that you make the investment, Like you're 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.480 gonna have to pay him through the nose, no matter why. 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.400 You have to pay a ton for Aaron Judge, So 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:52.920 you might. 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.160 Have because of that joke. 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.080 Stadium they have a part of their stadium named after 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.280 after him, like Judges Quarters or whatever that is, and 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.720 like left field, like they have to rebrand that. 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.360 If they if they don't resign him to be like, oh, 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:05.520 take down somehow. 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.120 I think the Yankees will find a way to get 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.480 it done. Tarik Schouble continues to be good. Seven shoutoutings 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.640 for him over the A's Robbie Ray. Nice performance from him. 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.600 Ten strikeouts over the Phillies. Oh at Phillies lineup. I'm 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.880 telling you Jojo already better watch himself. I'm telling you 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.120 the rumblings in Philadelphia are going to get stronger and 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:28.040 stronger as they struggle. Madison Bumgarner was good against Miami. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.000 Kyle Bradish. How about this eleven strikeouts against the Cardinals. 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.520 Is because it is Bradish, a guy that everybody should 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:36.960 be running to the waiver wire to pick up. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.520 I don't know about running to the waiver wire, but 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.080 I did look into him a little bit this morning, 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.800 and I mean, there are some good numbers there. The 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.040 thing for me is that like he's kind of like 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.400 a fringe talent on a bad team, which like if 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.120 he was like on the Dodgers, then yeah, I'd be 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.559 sprinting to the waiver wire. But like, the strikeout numbers 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.320 were good. He had some good strikeout numbers in like 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.760 lower levels. We had that kind of like twenty twenty 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.520 lowlast year where you kind of like missed that year 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:02.120 of development. 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.880 But I mean it looked pretty. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.000 Good, and it's you know, it's good that left field 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.680 in Camden Yards is now eight hundred feet away, so 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:10.400 that helps. 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.599 It's so ugly too, Can I just kiddy this. It's 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:18.479 ugly dangerous, It's ugly, it's dangerous. It's no fun. I 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.680 get trying to adjust it, but they've adjusted it in 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.719 such a way where it's it's such an eyesore. I 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.919 really hate it. And it's such a beautiful place and 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.000 I've been there numerous times to watch baseball live and 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:28.640 if you have never been, and I encourage you to, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.040 it's a beautiful ballpark, but it is really just crappy, 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:33.400 like they did a crap job. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.560 Another we could do an Alas trade and like move 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.560 in left field and cam yards and like give some 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.520 of that fence to right different Yeah. 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.520 Yeah, I want to split the difference. Cedric Mullens Homeward 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.120 Soule base four hit day for him. He's red hot 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.880 right now. Snell looking good in a triple A start, 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.480 so he should be joining that rotation relatively soon, perhaps 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.640 on the weekend, perhaps beginning of next week. We shall see. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.400 And then Justin Turner finally signs of life. Four hits, 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.520 four ribies last night, and that when Tony Gonsolon got 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.440 another win, and of course against the Pirates. I'm telling 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.440 you this is your time. That Thera is like one. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.560 It's time to get out of Tony gonsoln business and 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.880 flip them for something better if you can. On the 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.560 injury front, Saya Suzuki almost returned to the lineup but 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.080 was scratched. Did not oh sorry, he did appear as 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.280 a pitch hitter, and the Rays say no injury to 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.360 Wander Franco. We're just pulling him out because this game 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.440 is out of control. I was talking to you before 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.160 the show started today, Mayor, and I said that the 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.600 Rays have to pull off another deal like they did 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.720 last year where they brought in Nelson Cruz type bat. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.560 They got to bring in somebody because they don't have 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.040 a middle of the order presence. And look, if you're 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.280 the Rais and a Rose Ray is not hitting and 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.400 some of these other guys are struggling and it's just 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.080 wander Frankel. That's not enough offensively to compete for the 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:42.720 ease right now. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.920 Yeah, I mean they already pulled off their best move 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.720 over the last few years in getting rid of heim 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.480 Bloom and sending him to the Red Sox, and so 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.360 that has really changed the dynamic in the Al East. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:55.200 But I'm sure. 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.040 I mean, they're the Rays. They always do something. They'll 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.600 either they'll promote someone who will just like pitch lights out, 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:05.320 or you know, they'll find some gem in the bargain. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:06.560 Vand I mean, this is what they do. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.400 But you gotta score runs, like I mean, he's just 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.360 you got to put more runs on the table. That's it. 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.080 He Actually, here's a good question too with the Snell return. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.120 This is from Mark. The Snell return affect Gore spot 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.520 in the rotation. Your thoughts, Mike Mayer. So we have Musgrove, Darvish, 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.440 and Meniah locked in correct, So after that, so anybody 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.480 into Clevenger just came back. So that's your four. I'm 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.200 sure Nick Martinez can go bounce. Is Gore in trouble, 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.680 he could be, I mean he shouldn't be, but he 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:36.080 could be. 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.080 I mean, I'd ideally like to see them and you 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:41.679 don't really want to go to a six man rotation 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.600 because you don't want to like not start Darvish, Manaia 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.440 and the others. But they do have Clevenger coming back 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.800 from injury, so he wouldn't you know, he could benefit 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:53.360 from nextra day off. They've shown in the past that 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.240 like they're not all in on Gore, I mean with 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.040 his like previous struggles. But I mean, I feel like 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.920 he's pitching well enough now that he should stick in 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.319 the rotation. But we'll see. They've done this before. 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.520 And I imagined, you know, you want to get the 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.719 lefty in that rotation. So if Snell is healthy, I 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.480 don't think they're gonna rush Snell. That being said, I 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.439 think they're gonna wait and bide their time a little bit. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.599 All right, let's talk about this. Major League Baseball executives 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.880 were polled on some big topics in twenty twenty two. 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.880 So here's how some of the results shook out. Which 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.360 player or team has been the biggest surprise. The top 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.600 vote getter was Taylor Ward, which would have been my vote, 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.120 five votes for him. Eric Cosmer had three, the Twins 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.800 had three, The National League West ed one vote, and 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.560 then the Rockies, the Angels. Some moron was surprised about 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.200 the Brewers. I don't know what moron that was. Carlos 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.240 Rodan got to vote, Eric Lower got to vote. So 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.040 I'll ask you, of all these are another one, who's 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.040 the biggest surprise so far of twenty twenty two? 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.600 The biggest surprise is the answers to these polls, because 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:51.880 these are garbage answers. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.320 Like it, like you were saying, like I've been waiting 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.240 to see today, let's go. I was a garbage answers. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.440 I was reading this before you started. I was Ward 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:00.840 makes sense. 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.760 I was like, Hosmerbo's the dumb one because he's he's 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.800 done this before. I mean, maybe it's surprising he stayed 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.079 hot this long, but I mean, like the Twins aren't 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.400 that that surprising? They went out and got Korea, you know, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:12.760 like you knew they were going to try and win 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.360 and know West, Like that's the least surprising thing maybe 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.439 in baseball history that the n West is good. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.439 The Diamondbacks are a couple of games over five hundred 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.959 is shocking. I'm shocked by that. So the division is 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.520 a hockey up there. Yeah, but like the fact that 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.360 everyone the division's over five hundred, that's that's shocking. I 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:33.040 get that one. 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:37.600 I would bet money that that answer came from like 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.760 the GM of the Rockies or the Diamondbacks, like, oh, look. 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:41.640 At us, We're a surprise. 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:49.760 Probably not a surprise. Come on, Eric, Eric Lower would 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.600 be a good one too. I think Lower and I 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.880 think uh Taylor Ward would be the two answers. Okay, 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.640 let's do another one. Let's see what kind of garbage 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.240 you think This one is? Which player or team has 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.840 been the biggest dis appointment? Your Red Sox got eight votes? 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.680 The Reds got five, But I mean you had to 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.680 know what. Joey Vado alone got three, The Phillies got three. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.400 I'm gonna tell you what I think the Phillies Trevor 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.000 Story got one vote, But the Phillies would be my 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.280 thing cause I thought the Phillies with Cassie Allison Schwarber, 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.280 I thought that those are two really good moves and 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.320 it's just not come together for this Phillies team right 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.240 now and they just don't look good offensively. They they've 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.560 had some struggles in the bullpen. So that would be 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.240 my vote, would be the Phillies. But who's the biggest 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.000 disappointment team? More individual for you and don't sing me 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:31.520 that's not a good answer. 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.920 Well you have Well that ties into my argument about 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.199 the Red Sox because you have to have expectations in 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:39.920 that are to be disappointed, and so I don't have 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.679 any expectations for you, and so you continue to not 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:43.360 disappoint me. 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.080 Because it's like, isn't that what Vince Vaughan says at 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.240 the beginning of Dodgeball, If you don't set goals, then 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.920 you can't fail, and then you know you're you're in 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.040 good shape after that, you. 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.240 Know, and if you can dodge a rench, you can 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:55.719 dodge a ball. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.040 That is also but that he didn't say that one, 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.200 and that was what Rip Torn said. But he said, 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.240 if you don't I find if you don't have goals, 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.720 then you're not disappointed when you don't reach them. And 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.559 I gotta say, it feels pretty good. I think I'm paraphrasing, 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:08.320 but I'm pretty close. 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:08.959 Yeah, so did you? 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:10.679 So do you have an answer? Is it the Red Sox? 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.240 They're they're the most disappointing. 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:12.760 See, I mean I don't. 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.200 I think in general, yes, but like I was very 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:17.640 low and the Red Sox coming into the year, So 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.640 I'm not that disappointed in them because this is I mean, 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.319 the reds is obviously a dumb answer because like they 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.480 gave up months ago before the season even started. I 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.800 think the Phillies is probably the right answer. Marcus Simeon 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:29.400 is an answer. But I think a lot of people 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.120 kind of saw this coming. You know, there were a 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.520 lot of smart people in the baseball industry being like, 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.880 I wouldn't really buy and simon this year, the Phillies 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.400 is a go on. I figured they would struggle more 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.880 with like just pitching than opposed to the lineup, but 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.640 they're kind of struggling with both. 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.679 All Right, who will be the biggest name moved? The 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.319 front office executives voted Frankie Montoss to be the most 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.679 That's what I would have said to Montoss. Guestio got 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.040 the second most votes. Somebody said, Xander Bogar's five people. Actually, 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.800 if al they had two votes, you Nola gotta vote, 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.120 Bryan Reynolds got to vote. Nelson Cruz is definitely going 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.160 to be moved. Joey Gallo gotta vote, which thought was 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.839 interesting but the most interesting. Somebody said Juan Soto. And 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.360 there's no way they're trading Juan Soto right now. They 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.360 can't there. I just I can't see them doing it 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.760 now and in season. That would be shocking to me. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.240 But we shall see. Frankie Mantos at Guesto. Those are 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.839 the two for me, and Xander Bogarts makes a lot 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.280 of sense if they're going to look, you can't be 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.200 happy with you got at Trevor story so far. So 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.400 if I was the Red Sox, I'd be very careful 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.640 about moving Xander Bogarts. But who is the biggest name 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.280 in your opinion that's going to get moved for the 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:34.160 trade deadline? 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:34.959 Well, I think the. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.720 Top two or you know, as close to locks to 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.840 getting moved as you can get. I think the Bogarts 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.760 one is interesting because it came out last week that 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.679 like he's pissed at the Red Sox and that they 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:44.600 like lowballed him. 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.880 You know another Hein Bloom special. I was watching MLB 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.240 Network this morning and they had an interesting fit for 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.360 a Bogarx trade, and that was the Cardinals, who just 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.480 sent down Paul Dean to the minor leagues and could 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.800 really use a good shortstop like Xander Bogart's. 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:00.800 Yeah, can we talk about that move? By the way 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.240 they pulled the young get sent down. You can easily 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:04.880 move a guy who want to go glove and Tommy 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.680 Edmond over to shortstop who played shortstop in the minor 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.160 leagues and call up Noan Gorman. Yet we refuse to 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.840 do this. I am losing patience with the Cardinals. I now, 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.800 is Nolan Gorman getting protected because they're gonna make that 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.360 kind of deal? Is he gonna go to the Boston 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.840 Red Sox? If so, fine, but they are cramping my 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.600 style with this, dude, I am. I am not happy. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:27.640 I saw the young thing and I went, oh, oh, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.680 who's the call up? And I saw it. I was like, 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.080 you gotta be kidding me, Bro, that's not the guy. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:38.080 To bro, Bro, you got your your Juan Yepez, so 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:39.040 just be happy with that. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.880 First to get my Yez. But I mean, do we 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.840 have a Yepez dispenser joke all lined up already or not, 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.000 like when he hits a home run or something that. 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.720 I mean, they've got to have that on the scoreboard where. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.520 It's I I'm sure John Sterling will come up with 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:53.240 something stupid. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:59.200 Pez dispenses home run he speaking of he called that 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.720 run he was like a Stantonian blast. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.320 I was like, that went like two hundred feet. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.720 Yeah, I was gonna say that was not a Stantonian plast. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.680 It is high, it is far, it is caught by 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.880 the short high neither of those the third out. Yeah, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.520 not a not a great look. All right, Let's move 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.680 to Sarah Langs here for a second. Here's a fun 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.880 fact that she posted on the Twitter machine. Redebt Meurs 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.080 yesterday entered with a six three three e RA. That's 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.440 the third highest career e RA at the time of 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:30.360 throwing a no hitter. Wilson Alvarez had one that was 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.360 off the charts, but it was early in ninety one. 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.160 And infinity is what you wrote. And then Bobo Holloman, 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.240 everybody loves a good Bobo Holloman great quote or a 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.400 moment who had an era of eight four to four. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.040 So is this the time to trade redebt meers in 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:46.560 your opinion? 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.480 Yeah, last night was the time to trade redets, like 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:55.080 the second after the. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:54.240 At first place, you trade. 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:58.600 Him nice before everybody's sobered up. All right, Nolan Gorman 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.520 watched this is day? Was this like twenty six? I 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.280 feel like now I feel like we're in day twenty 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.520 six of Nolan Gorman watch. So tomorrow will be day 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.120 twenty seven. I can't believe the young got sent down 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.160 and we didn't get them called up. I just all right, 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.560 trivia question here and this is this is yours. So 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.200 I don't have an answer for this one. So Mike 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:17.800 Mayer's in control of this. Mike Mayer, why don't you 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.880 this is your trivia question, Why don't you throw it 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:21.840 out there to the Peanuts and cracker Jacks who were 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.200 watching and listening to the show. 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:25.920 Sure, so there were a bunch of fun Josh Haters 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.560 stats last night because he got you know, he hit 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.320 that like, what is it like five hundred strikeout? So 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.840 his Josh Hater's forty four point three percent strikeout rate 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.720 is by far the highest mark for any pitcher with 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.120 at least two hundred innings pitched. Do you do you 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.560 know who number two on the list is? And the 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.520 hint is that it's a current reliever, a current. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:50.320 Reliever that has a strikeout rate higher than forty four. 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.280 Lower than forty four. Number two, Josh Hater's number one. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.480 This is number two. It's above forty but it's below 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:56.040 forty four. 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.320 Okay, so it's right below Hater. Is there like a 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.840 minimum here? He's a current reliever meeting he's like a 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:03.040 new guy, or is he. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.600 Like around somebody? It's with it. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.920 It's with at least two hundred innings, so he's been around. Well, 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:09.240 he's he's a veteran. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.600 Okay, with at least two hundred innings pisched. So a 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.479
