Let's start with the headlines. 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.760 Tristan McKenzie probably the biggest headline out for two months 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.000 with shoulder surgery. Hunter Gaddis going to be moving into 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:02.240 the rotation. The Guardians also extending Andrisamenez, one of our 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.440 favorite guys, to a long term contract. So good on 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.440 Andres he got paid, But bad with the rotation here 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.040 for the Cleveland Guardians because Christa McKenzie. You know, it's 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.959 somebody that a few of our guests this offseason warned 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.600 about that Tristan McKenzie, you know, with the frame and 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.320 some of the issues there might be the guy to 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.079 kind of fade in drafts. Well, here we are. Season 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.840 hasn't started and he's already gonna be gone for the 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.239 first two months. Yeah. 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.680 I have not that like I you know, prophetic like 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.480 oh he's gonna get hur or anything like that. Tristan 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.200 McKenzie just wasn't a guy for me, and really no shares. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:32.560 I don't think I have a single share in anything 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.200 I've done all season. In the eight weeks is going 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.880 to take it down. Hunter Gaddis is really interesting. I 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.360 actually saw him pitch like two a week ago or 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.960 so with spring training was inning and everyone's just going 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.000 to love him. He's this big mountain man with this 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.280 huge hair in the beard. Last season in the minor leagues, 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.520 he had a four ERA, one hundred and fifty eight strikeouts. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.280 Gets a little flat. He got a little flat in 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.360 the game I watch he gave up a I think 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.920 it was a second at bat home run to MJ. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.560 Melndez and then a two run shot to Edward Olivirus. 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.080 Also watch out for Tanner Biby Bebe however we say it, 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.160 he might be a guy if Hunter Goddt struggles that 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.240 gets a little bit of run because McKenzie's going to 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.440 miss like eight weeks and not going to be in 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:13.000 my rotation. 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.160 Yeah, it's it's a big loss there for Cleveland. And obviously, 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.400 if you know you think Cleveland's going to win that division, 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.120 you know that have to start push some of these 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.200 younger kids too, So keep an eye. I know he's 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:25.919 working his way back. Is Spanio is a guy that 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:27.560 I think, you know, has a lot of upside, a 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.400 lot of talent depending on when he comes back there. 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:30.920 And yeah, you know, for the for those of you 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.359 looking in the chat here, I see too. No Welsh 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.039 did not get taller, just as I did. 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:40.320 I'm also dying here too, uh nesic coo. I love 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.200 the idea too. It says, well, well, Welsh's hair get 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.599 be like that all season. I yeah, it will. It 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.240 will probably be like this will see. But I like 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.000 the idea too of you've seen those memes where they're like, hey, 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.039 if we get this many likes, we'll make someone smaller 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.239 bigger all season long. We'll just make the hair go bigger. 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.640 My goal will be to get the hair out of 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.600 the frame at some point here soon. I don't know 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.800 if I should incentivize people. Joe, if we could get 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.599 to twelve thousand follows by tomorrow by opening day, do 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.000 I make bigger and not cut it all season? 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.960 Well? We are very close to that, so if you 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.200 haven't subscribed already to our YouTube channel, make sure you 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.719 do because we are closing in on the twelve k mark. 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.960 We are just several hundred away. So let's go, everybody, 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.720 Let's go. But I mean, I'm here for it. Grow 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.280 it as long as you can. That's that's what I 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.240 say to you. Grow it as long as you can do. 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.000 Say that for me, Yeah for me. 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:32.479 Yeah. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.520 It's only in America, guys. This is called the Jimmy neutron, 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.720 and I will Jimmy neutron it as much as possible. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.640 There's an image for everybody. All right, Let's get to 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.159 some more news and notes here. Freddie Parolta fans five 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.080 and the victory of the Rockies. So for those of us, 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:50.400 including me that keeper shares of Freddy Peralta, I was 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.760 ignoring some of the noise and listening to Freddy Parolta 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.440 saying he feels great, everything's good, everything's fine. So far 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.800 looks really good. That is going to be an important 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:04.720 piece for that Brewer's rotation. Are Bubbola Chris Bobick lands 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.760 a spot in the Royals rotation. Let's like to see 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.360 Bubbola getting some love here. Also some interesting news from 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.400 Boston here Welsh Ramel Tapia earns the opening day roster spot, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.400 Jared Durand getting sent down. So what does this mean 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.760 for him here prospect wise, because this was a player, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.120 a lot of hype, a lot of people spent a 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.640 lot of money on last year in the fab budget world, 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.440 and it really didn't didn't happen for him. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.360 It's definitely not the end or anything like that. But 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.520 he's borderlining in that territory of we might just need 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.359 a new destination, like how Raimel Tapia beating him on 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.040 that roster, especially that roster with the Red Sox you're 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.240 putting out right now. This one, in my mind would 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.760 have been you just let him go, You let him 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.880 do this season, Let's not play the pretend game. I 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.560 wonder if this is going to be a prelude to 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.120 them maybe finding a new destination somewhere in the n 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:55.800 L or something like that. I think he might need 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.680 to refine his swing, just might need to have an 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.080 entire overhaul. It's not good. Jared Kelnick is kind of 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.760 like back on the uptick and Jared Durant is just 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:04.400 falling further and. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.479 For Kellennick a much higher rated prospect. Though. 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.880 Yeah, but Duran had a push, Man Duran, Jared Duran. 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.200 Durand definitely had a push. But I'll agree Durana had 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.720 a push. Kelnic had a pedigree. Can we agree on that? 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:17.080 Of course? 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.440 Of course, it's as Jared Duran did did make that big, 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.720 big push, but he also pointing out, I wanted to 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.000 look this up, did hit three thirty three in spring, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.160 four hundred over four hundred ops, but he only got 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:27.840 eighteen at bats the whole spring, So I also think 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.960 that's kind of not fair, like if they're not going 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:31.840 to make the commitment. And I will say this, it 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.400 also makes me think that their mind is set with 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.920 what Jared durana. If they give him eighteen spring at 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.880 bats and then they let Raml Tapia take the job, 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.400 I think they might have their mindset regardless of what 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.120 duran does. So you can only hope for a new destination, 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:46.680 new home. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.680 Some fun things here. This is Brooks. I don't remember 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.920 Brooks from last year. Brooks as Bad Buddy perm for 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.720 the Welsh I'm here for that. Also get fiveeen. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.160 I always hear that bad Bunny. 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.240 He's only the biggest selling artist in the history of 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:04.240 the world right now. Oh yeah, I guess that's Bunny. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:04.640 I've heard. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:06.200 I'm looking right now. 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.440 Bad Bunny is a very important hip hop artist and 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.240 uh so I know these things. You also not a 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.160 bad wrestler. He did some some market WrestleMania last year 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:18.800 and the wait wait. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.400 Wait wait, the highest selling musician in the world did 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.040 some wrest did some wrestling as well. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.800 Yeah, so him and Logan Paul both very good. Also 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.360 mister Buster who's back here, says if we get fifteen 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.000 k after the first month, Joe gets hair plugs. I'm 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.360 in for that. That's fine. I mean he with hair 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.040 last year. Those was some pretty fun good I appreciate. 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.160 It, everybody. If we got let's get something realistic. If 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:43.120 we got to well, okay, maybe it is fifteen. Say 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.240 if we got to a number that you agreed upon, 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.400 could we get like a wig for a month like 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.000 Fantasy pros. They will sport it, will put it on 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:51.559 the budget. 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.840 I'll do it. I'll in my own pocket, I'll do 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.080 it the people. 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:56.720 Or can we get like thirteen? 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.640 I think fifteen. I want to set our goals a 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:00.000 little hot. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.720 That's all right, all right, so fifteen by the end 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.080 of April, and Joe is going to get a full 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:06.240 on Can I pick the wig? 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.800 Yes, yes, that's fine. Please. That's Reee Hoskins underwent his 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:16.040 surgery on Thursday. You know, Welsh, We've touched on this 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.560 here a little bit, but this is another huge blow. 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.760 A lot of people who you know drafted Reee Hoskins 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.360 and even people had late drafts. I mean, this was 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.600 really a kick in the groin here at the end 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.120 of the day where you felt good, especially because first 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.520 base was so bad. You got Hoskins at decent value. 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.559 He was having a terrific spring. Now he's going to 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.920 be gone for the entire season. We have Price Harper 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.800 missing at least the first few months of the season here. 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.560 So what do you make of this Phillies lineup going in? 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.840 I know they still have Trey Turner and Cassie Anison Scharber. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:45.880 But how much of a blow is this and how 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.440 much of a blow is it also to the first 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.520 base position overall in fantasy, because as we sit here, 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.960 it is tough. I mean, where are you going here 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.000 for corner help? Yeah? 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:57.960 Well, I mean I'm going for you know, a guy 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.120 like Rowdy Teles Hosely Miranda. Those are places where I'm 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.840 going for help. This team is interesting. I actually think 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:08.120 like my process for the Phillies is like there might 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.880 be some bumps and bruises in that first half, but 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.480 I think they're also going to have a crazy second half. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.000 I said, think they're going to make a move. I 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.240 do some shows sometime. I just did one over at 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.800 CBS the Frank Stample and Frank is a big Derek 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.719 Hall believer. I'm not so much the lefty split thing. 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.559 It might work in his benefit I just don't know 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.360 how much to score. I still think this team might 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.679 go out and try to get somebody they didn't. I 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.280 don't think they actively went after Luke Void, who signed 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.560 a contract. Juli Gariel didn't come back out. But I 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:37.959 wonder if they're going to go and make a move 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.480 because they're aggressive. Look at how aggressive this team is 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:44.120 right now, and it's like Schwarber, Castianos is great, Trey 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.600 Turner I think is an MVP candidate. These are all 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.040 solid things. But you don't want to let your foot 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.480 off the gas. And will it be enough for Derek 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.920 Hall or I've kind of thought maybe Alec Bohm moves 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.040 over to first a little bit? 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.720 John, what about j Cave too four eight one eight, 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.360 one fifty eight That the spring has been pretty good, 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:05.960 Cave was getting a lot of buzz, and last year 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.720 you didn't really perform all that well as Cave another 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.040 guy people in those only leagues or deeper league should 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.120 be looking at and lonely. 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.400 Yeah, and probably not anything else, but in no onely 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:14.160 in my mind. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.839 All right, fair enough, continuing on over the headlines here, 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.719 Tony Goslin targeting a late April return, So we'll see 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.280 that Joan Aviedo h Fans seven and got a rotation 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:27.439 spot with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He qualifies an RP and 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.480 SP Welsh. I know it's the Pirates. I know they're 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.520 gonna be terrible, But if you need some pitching help 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.120 or some depth, or you have somebody who's you know, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.840 starting a week or two late, Like let's say you 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.840 have Tony Gonsol and I'm putting these two things together, 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.040 can it get a couple of starts out of him 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.320 that are decent and to see somebody that will be 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:43.840 one of these first guys off the waiver wire, So 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.040 go grab him now before the start. 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:51.040 You could, But my retort would be he's a pirate, 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.920 So that would be where I keep retorts to yourself. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.760 By the way, I don't want to year much strikeouts. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.199 But he had like a one to four whip not 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.120 a good era in spring, a treat that he made 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.240 the rotation, but like how many great options? I mean, 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.200 I guess they picked him over JD. Brubaker JT. Brubaker, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.760 which is really solid. But I'm not a huge, huge believer. 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.800 But I'm also a little bit weird with this team, 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:17.520 like everyone loved Luis Ortiz the Prospect not too long ago, 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.320 and he got sent down for this. Like, I'm just 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:24.120 not interested in any Pirates rotation player ever. You know, 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.760 maybe Mitchell it's cool, cool, Mitch Keller changed some stuff, 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.360 but it's like how much run supports there. Wins are 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.680 not going to come at a premium. He could get 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.760 you a couple, but like, I'm not going to be 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.240 running to the wire even if he's really good, because 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:37.920 I just think there are guys that are going to 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.920 be popping up. This is going to be a turnstyle, 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.200 like the Pirates are just like trying to find live 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.319 bodies to put into the rotation and Oviado is no, 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.240 but he's a smart So you know, for you guys 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.760 that are utilizing starting pitchers in your relief spot, why not. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.679 Yeah, well, I mean rpspligibility too, looking for two star 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.079 weeks those least being a mandatory RP spoff. Just saying 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.280 relief pitchers. A lot of committees this year, a lot 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.880 of I mean a lot of people try to figure 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.920 out what it is. I would be proactive. I would 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.559 add it speaking of guys getting paid and stuff like that, 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.920 because I see here in Heller's in there Otani talking 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.480 about the six hundred and fifty million dollar contract, things 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.000 like that. I just saw a thing recently just came around. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.520 The highest paid players in MLB in twenty twenty three, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.640 when you add their salary and you add in their 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.760 endorsement deals, Choe Atani is the highest at seventy million dollars. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.640 Max Suers are a second, Verlanders third, then Judge Trout, 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.880 Anthony Rendon at six, if you want to chuckle, Garrett 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.600 Cole seven, Corey Seeger eight. Carlos Korea is at nine 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.240 with thirty seven million total between the two. At number ten, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.560 Steven Strasburg still, so did. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.720 You see the advertising deal money too? That? It was 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:50.120 like Judge and Trout were getting like five four and 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.160 five million dollars in advertising deals this year and Atani's 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.600 got thirty five million dollars in advertising deals. He is 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.640 just far. He is like him. I mean, why wouldn't 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.439 he combine the top five other guys and he's making 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:03.040 more than that. 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.040 And if he goes to a New York team or 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.920 a Los Angeles team, I mean, I mean it was 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.760 a Los Angeles team, I should say, a real Los 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.720 Angeles team ha ha. That's right. I said it. Angels fans, 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.520 they won the Spring. Did you see that? MLB put 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.800 a little thing. Congratulations Angels, champions of the Spring with 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.960 the best record. Talk about cring. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:22.880 I mean that's fine. By the way, do you love 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.040 the hill? You love the doctor? Glenn jumped in. He's like, 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:28.040 here goes the talk. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.800 And by the way, just you know, speaking of Autani talk, 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:32.920 I've got money on him for MVP, but I would 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.920 also recommend money for him on cy Young because if 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.960 he doesn't get traded to the National League, you're getting 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.080 eleven to one on betting pros dot com. You can 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:44.280 find it on timers. I think that's wide open in 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:45.080 the al this year. 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.560 Way to bury someone's bold prediction coming up here soon, Joe. 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.400 Oh, I'm maybe that's just a tease, because well and 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.200 I are doing. Hey man, I made the sheet yesterday. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:57.960 How many show sheets I've done for all the shows 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.960 in the last twenty four hours? Anyway, Uh, some other 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.920 news and notes, we'll get you real quick. Sergio Romo 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.280 retired Monday after his last outing in San Francisco. The 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:10.520 crowd was cheering for him, and the stupid umpire called 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.600 a ball because he didn't get to that point. And 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.440 I am all four of the rules changes. I am 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.640 so pro rules changes. I love the pitch clock. I 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.360 love the big basis. I want the bases to be 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.240 as big as I don't know, it's Daniel Vogel back, 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.480 that's how big I want the basis. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.120 Want Joe wants to inject players with steroids as they 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:29.040 walk out. He wants there to be swimming pool sized bases. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.200 He wants, oh yeah, people jump into the pool. I 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.320 think it's great, but but they've got to make an 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.680 exception when a guy is in his last moments there 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.840 and he's tipping his hat to the crowd. It was 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.840 two moments this week of stupid umpiring, and the other 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.560 one was the real Muto thing, which was Man, did 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.320 you watch Did you see the tweet I sent you 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.160 about that? Yeah? I was incredible. Broak. Okay. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:54.360 What's worse though, is it the the the I'm acting 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.760 like a baby because the ball fill story, is it? 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.240 Do you think that's really worse though, than them calling 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.560 the clock on Romo in what is clearly a retirement 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:03.960 situation with Hunter Pence. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.840 I would give the umpire pass because maybe he didn't 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.480 quite realize what was going on. He's an umpire. 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.000 I mean they're usually not very aware of what's happening 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:12.360 in games. 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.880 No, but nothing. Not aware that this is Romo's last moment, 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.080 Like he could just been caught up in the game 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:17.880 and forgot about that. Maybe he just throws a big 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.080 ovation because it was Romo, Like he's not listening to 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.800 the broadcast talking about it. You know, he's focused on 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.080 the game. He gets a pass. The guy with real 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.600 Muto does not get a pass. Okay, that was such 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.240 a little de energy move. I'm just gonna say it. 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.240 That's what that was, bro, Like, you don't even it 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.280 was ridiculous and real. I give JT. Real Muto so 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.360 much credit because as an Italian I would have lost 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.360 my mind. As Italian, he was so calm about it. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.240 He was basically like, dude, I thought you threw it back. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.560 What's the problem. I don't understand. If you missed this, 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.680 go look on the Twitter machine. It's everywhere. It's hilarious. 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.120 I don't think I would have handled that very well either. 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.160 Job. Wait, I was like, you threw me out because 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:57.560 I went for the ball and I thought you threw 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:58.960 it back. To him because you just threw the last 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.400 one back to the picture. I mean, I don't mean 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:02.000 it was kind. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.040 Of a look. He put his glove out, the ball 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.760 didn't get there, so he moved his glove obviously assuming 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:08.439 all right, I'm not getting the ball, and then the 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.320 drops it. It was. It's a pretty amazing moment. I'm 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.080 been on fire these last this last month or. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.520 So, nobody comes to see you, umpires. Literally, robots can 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.600 do your job at this point, so to saying, I. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.200 Think in the minor leagues, robots will be doing the 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.520 job Bundy through Thursday and then they turn it off 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:25.240 on the weekends. 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:26.639 Start off. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.800 Like I'm start doing all the calls after all. 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.120 Right, let let's let's talk a little bold predictions here 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.040 now again in leading off every day, we're gonna do 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:36.960
