I mean, at the end of the day, 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.880 the worst thing that could happen would be to have 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.240 more Joe piece of pier right now? Wait?

It was I just said 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.200 that we wanted more Joe Rico, and we got Joe 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.320 piece of Pia. What just happened? You guys set me 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.520 up that totally didn't know. They were standing in my 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.600 office next to me the whole time that was shout 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:25.680 out to Yeah, did you like that? 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:25.960 Were you? 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.440 Were? You a little surprised there, Rico. 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.680 I saw you talking before we were going on. You 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.840 were talking on mute, and I was thinking, okay, you 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.880 know his kids asked him a question. Your wife's asking 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.280 you a question. I didn't think it was Joey P. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:36.600 But there was something in the back of my head 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.560 that thought something might be up. But that was fun. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:39.360 I didn't expect that. 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.680 I did, but I also was not fully expecting that. 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.480 But Joey P in the house. Wait wait is it 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.000 a Kaisa Trucks day? I didn't even look. I've done 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.880 two kinds of trucks reads. All right, that's enough. Yeah, 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.800 I've done. I think we're I think we're good. That's 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.960 Kaisa trucks home for the canoli. That's why these canolis 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:01.240 are so strong. Kaisa trucks. No Lo low c's for 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.520 the Canoli's all right, little chaos to start the show. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.480 Thank you guys for all hanging out. Special appearance Joe 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.280 Piezapia and the great cousin Donnie. We thought we guys 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.320 would start you guys off a little bit of fun. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.280 Obviously the audio people probably not loving quite as much 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.520 because of the chaos. There not a great idea, by 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:20.800 the way, to eat a canoli at the top of 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.640 a show when you have no water or anything like that. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.600 Mister Joe Rico correct. 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.000 I'm Italian. It comes up naturally to me eating connoly, 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.960 but you definitely need to wash it down with something. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:30.800 Go get an espresso. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.120 Yeah no, I don't drink coffee, but I do need 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.719 some caffeine percent all right. Yeah, now, I'm not a 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.320 coffee guy. I don't do any of that stuff. I 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.560 can't do it. But we can do all the baseball 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.000 here for you guys. We got a ton of stuff 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.520 here that will not include mister Joe Pizzapia. We got bets, 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.720 we got breakdowns, We've got some chaos in the baseball world. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.960 We found out about and I was out there hanging 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.480 with a certain somebody, so be on the lookout for that. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.640 We're gonna do here very shortly. But let's dig into 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.040 that co It was really good, by the way, very 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.320 very phenomenal. Canoli back at it onto the baseball world. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.800 Tyler soda Strom one for five, league leading ninth home 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.760 run yesterday against the White Sox. He does not stop 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.520 hit it interesting. Rotal World put this out there. He 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.400 is a three to two slider that he crushed like 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.520 one oh four. I think really interesting about that too, 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.680 and then mentioning that it was a slider. Is like 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.560 his success on off speed stuff so far this year, 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.600 Like he's hitting everything across the board. I did a 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.800 show with Bogman where we were really like going hard 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.599 into the Tyler Soderstrom stuff. What do you think the 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.880 line is on Soderstrom? Well, I did the question of 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.800 Christian Walker or Tyler Soderstrom rest of season. Where would 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:43.280 you go with that? 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.880 I think it would probably be Man. I hate to 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.240 be like a prisoner of the moment, but it's probably Soderstrom, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.680 just every so slightly. I still really like Walker, We 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:57.279 talked about that this week, but Soderstrom has just been brilliant. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.720 And something that I noticed yesterday was doing sleep in 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.720 the Bob than Justin and Paul. I forget which one 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.480 of us pointed this out, but I think a lot 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.760 of people will say, well, he's in a minor league ballpark. 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.320 You know, he's going to be taking advantage of these 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.080 minor league fences, and that's why he's having success. I'll 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.839 Vlotty Junior a couple of years ago. But if you 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.000 look at the split so far, nine home games, Soderstrom 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.279 has two home runs and he's hitting a buck fifty six. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.800 On the road, he has seven home runs and he's 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.520 hitting four thirty nine. So he's not even like a 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.760 minor league ballpark merchant. He's just legitimately a power stud. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.720 And I think, you know, if he hit forty home 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.279 runs this year at this point, I don't think we 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.600 should be surprised. It's mid April, he's got nine already. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.480 He could surpass forty. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.479 Even I'm going to want to be a prisoner at 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.280 the moment either, and this is coming from a very 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.920 hardcore Christian Walker guy. Right now, it's kind of l 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.560 city for me on that. You know, the capital L 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.279 on the Welsh for a Christian Walker, and I do 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.320 believe though he's going to turn things around a lot. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.000 In the hitting profile. I think outside of the strikeouts 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.440 those are up, everything else looks pretty good. He's going 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.640 to start pulling fly balls. He traditionally kind of art slow, 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.039 he's kind of streaky. I'm taking Sodastrum. I think Sodastrm 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.000 like my big point too, It is he has such 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.080 a good head start and I think that profile, which 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.320 is elite at this level, even when he comes down, 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.480 I just don't think he's going to come back where 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.840 another player like Christian Walker is going to just catch 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.840 face and we're gonna be like, oh, yeah this, You know, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.200 we should have had Walker the whole time. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:20.320 Now. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.760 I think Sodastrm is going to be consistent all year long, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:25.560 and I'm not going to be surprised if he hits 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.720 thirty homers. He's a third of the way there. Practically, 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.800 that ballpark has beneficial. He's hitting the ball better. I 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.080 think we got to be in hardcore and Tyler Soderstrom 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.920 and I made a good move on the the rest 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.120 of season ranks on Fantasy pros and I'll I'll do 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.040 it again. I think there's going to be another move 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:41.800 because I don't think I have Walker over him. But 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.560 the more we looked into it and talked about it, 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.160 I think I'm in. So that would be a question 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.560 for the chat. Maybe we can even put up a 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.440 pull if we want Christian Walker, Tyler Soderstrom. Where you 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.480 guys at I'm very curious at the level of first 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.600 baseman for everybody for Soda Strong. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:56.680 Where do you have him in the rioting as well? 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:57.760 So you have him top ten. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.320 To pull it out. I want to say I have 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.520 him top I want to say eleven or something like that, 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.040 but I think he might deserve to be inside of 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:11.400 it like Tristan Cassis or him. Cossus is struggling when 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.960 you get it. It's not going to be Naylor Naylor. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:15.600 I'm going to have above him, but I think he's 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.440 right below Naylor, And actually that might be where I 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.320 ended up putting him in the rank, So I'm open 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.320 to it. Yeah, big Soda, So let's see where you 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:28.040 guys are at on him. Corbin Freakin' Carol has been 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:33.240 one of the best guys. Barnutt war Number everything is 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:34.880 telling us He's one of the best in the league. 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.600 But we have been missing the stolen bases. We got 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.520 that back yesterday. Three stolen bases bags are coming back. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.920 The hitting profile is ridiculous. I was actually taking a 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.440 look on Baseball Savant. You can look at the batting 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.080 stance data they have and you can see some of 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.800 the changes. He's actually moved quite a bit forward in 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.200 the plate, brought his feet in a little bit more, 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.440 and that is allowing him to attack the ball with 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.000 that big bat speed and things are going crazy. So 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.560 I think I had this trade thing that someone had 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.240 brought to me of like, hey, would you trade Soto 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.880 for Carol? And I'm like, I actually think Carol's the 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.480 play Dynasty and on redraft right now because I believe 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.720 in him. The stolen bases just held him back and 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.160 then they pop back up. So I don't know if 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.480 there's a ton to like go go in on with 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.000 Carol outside of like maybe if you just weren't a believer, 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.480 I don't know where you're at on him, Like do 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.400 you think Corman Carrol, if you could get a one 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.680 soda or you could sell down, do you think that's 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.760 the play on Carroll? Like do you believe this new 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:32.839 hitting version of him is going to stay? 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:33.440 Yeah? 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.760 No, I think I came into the season with Carol 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.000 ranked ahead of Soto, and I'd still have to have 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.360 to stick with that. I think with the shoulder, it 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.160 just seems to have fieled itself, which I don't know 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.839 how legit that is. Necessarily, I thought that this was 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.240 going to be something that eventually needed some kind of procedure. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.640 But he has a twenty percent barrel rate, almost a 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.040 sixty percent hard hit rate. His average exit velocity is 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.400 ninety five for his career. It had been eighty nine. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.560 The hardest hit balis we're hitting his career came this season. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.880 That one fifteen point eight. I don't like that he's 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.080 chasing more. If you look at his O swing percentage, 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.000 he's thirty seven percent this season twenty seven for his career. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.760 Swinging strike rate was seven and a half percent last year. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.880 It's thirteen point eight this season. But everything else is fantastic, 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.480 Like Corbyn, Carroll could easily be a thirty to fifty 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.959 guy this season and win Nashville, get VP and wouldn't surprise. 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.439 But we're also kind of moving into a territory where 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.640 maybe he hits more homers than he steals bases. Though 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.839 we don't know what direction that's going to go, it's 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.240 really good to start seeing him steal some bases. I 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.679 have some other cool news for you. I went out 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.480 to the airs on a Diamondbacks facility yesterday and the 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.160 other day Katel Marte was here, and there was kind 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.720 of a word maybe from Katel the other day that 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:47.160 obviously Tory Lavello was saying that he might not even 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:48.960 back until like mid May. They didn't think he'd be 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:53.880 back early April. Maybe potentially. Katel had said himself that 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.120 he would like to be back next week. Well, I 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.840 go out there and I got some video and if 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.240 we can put that up Calle of him working. He 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.720 looks good. This is Katel. This is my video from yesterday. 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.320 He wasn't short, which was getting people kind of worked up. 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.320 He went between second and short, but he was out working. 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.640 This is a little corner field they have at the 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.840 Diamondbacks facility. He's running it out. You can see he's 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.920 got the leg kind of wrapped up, but he's moving, 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.280 doesn't seem to be limping. The arm looks good. This 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.520 was after he did a running session, and then it 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.679 followed up with him going doing a private hitting session. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.200 So one more here they had the Pioneer League tryouts 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.920 in the back. But Katel looks solid and we could 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.600 take him at short. But then we had the collab 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.040 of collabs of all time, Joe Rico, I present to 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:43.480 you Kutel x Welsh because me and Katell we rocked 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.119 it out. Baby, that's right, straight from the show yesterday, 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.160 Me and Katel. It's very bright. He was not constipated. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.120 I also the eyes were getting me a little bit, 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.360 but Diamondback had up shout out to Rota Waar. Me 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.240 and Katel rocking out as two best friends do. And 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.440 everyone's quest in the world is this right there? Will 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.240 we see a where in the world are Katell and 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.840 Welsh this year? I don't know. It's a possibility. We 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.439 could look into it if people wanted it. We had 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.680 where in the world We're Welsh and Corman Carroll Well, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.880 kud Tell and Welsh. We're hanging just being best friends yesterday. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.120 It's a great picture, right, I mean, I'm not very photogenic. 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.120 It's a fantastic picture. It's the coolest guy in Arizona 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.400 and Katel Marte is there as well, so it's a 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:27.080 really good job. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.400 It's my boy. I love Katel so much. He's like 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.120 one of my favorites. We was before Carol was out there, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.360 but we took the picture at the facility, got some 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.679 of that scoop video. I got you guys covered, all right, 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.480 we can my horrible smile and face can come off 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.719 of there real quick. But just wanted to share with 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.960 everybody a little bit of could tell action and people 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.400 like that, people like that friend of the show, Yeah, 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:49.920 oh this is a good point. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:51.600 Stay away, friend of me. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.240 If he's a friend of the show, that's not good. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.160 I got to tell you that. Justin Steele just had 0:12:58.200 --> 0:12:59.440 surgery today and he did. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.840 Think every So it's Cruval Mayor's hate. 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.680 What are you talking here, Mayor? You must be behind. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.240 I think he's behind and he's just seeing the segment 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:11.360 win show. Oh look at that. Oh someone's negative. Oh 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.560 something isn't to his liking. Shut up, Mayor, get out here. 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.280 All right, let's get back into it. Christopher Sanchez picked 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.880 up his second victory of the season twelve strikeouts over 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.079 seven innings against the Giants. We told somebody on a show, 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.679 I think it was on Wednesday. Do not get rid 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.959 of Christopher Sanchez, no matter what you do. Where do 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.199 you think Sanchez has vaulted as far as value. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.480 Goes top fifteen or top twenty starting pitcher? For me, 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.760 there was an interesting article that Mayor and Worm went 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.959 through yesterday on the cycle. It was ESPN did like 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.800 an ace rankings, just going through all the aces in baseball, 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.400 and they had Christopher Sanchez at like eleven or something 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.640 like that, and it was Kylie McDaniel. ESPN can get 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.360 kind of a bad reputation. M Kylie knows what he's 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.280 talking about. You know. When you start seeing that kind 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.480 of thing, maybe he's closer to ten than fifteen. But 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.200 without a doubt, for me, he's a top twenty starting pitcher, 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:58.800 no question. 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:01.559 You know, he was one of those guys that popped. 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.199 We talked a bunch about this in the draft season 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.959 that some of the projections just had it right, even 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.400 though it was an outlier. I think it was. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:09.880 I don't. 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.240 I think it might have been ATC that had him 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.400 as like a top twenty pitcher as far as war 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.760 goes the bat or no, No, you know what, I 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.480 think it was the bat because I think I highlighted 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.040 it with Cardi, but both of those systems had him 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.160 way higher than he was being ranked, and he just 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.040 seemed like it was an obvious pickup for him. I 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:31.080 like the sustainability. Would you rather have Ooh, that's too much? 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.760 Would you rather have rest of season? Let Freddy Peralta 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.120 or Chris Sanchez? 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.000 Chris Sanchez? For me, I like per Alta, but Sanchez 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.560 seems to be on another level at this point. That 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.480 change up is one of the best pitches in baseball. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.040 It is, and he added the cutter for more strikeouts. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.160 Chotto Imanaga or Chris Sanchez Sanchez. 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.320 I've been a little bit out on Imanaga this year. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.320 Out Here, there's no one way of doing things, no 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.040 one written rules, and no shortage.

Okay, 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.600 today's guest is rough around the edges. Please welcome Crust. 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.160 Thanks for having me today's topic. He's round with soft 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.120 pillowy bread hey filled with delicious PEBNJ. 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:10.960 Are you talking about yourself? 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:12.600 And you can take him anywhere? 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:13.760 Why do you invite? 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:17.160 And we are out of time? Are you really cutting 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:17.560 me off? 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.200 And Crustables are the best part of the sandwich? 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.440 Sorry crust Okay, So, I mean, I don't think we 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.720 need to necessarily run a poll for that, but the 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.680 values up I think he's somewhere in that direction. By 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.400 the way, the poll that we did before eighty three 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:35.640 percent Soda Man eighty three percent over Walker. I mean, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.120 you know, recency and stuff like that, but I think 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.720 we're all in. We're definitely all in on the Soda Man, 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.880 and his valuation has just gone through the roof. Kumar 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.239 Rocker recorded his first MLB victory. More importantly, eight strikeouts. 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.800 He picked up three run ball. You know, he's still 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.040 kind of in the streamy type of range. Is there 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.000 any takeaways for Kumar Rocker? Is he in a circle 0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:58.720 of trust at all? 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.160 For you, I'd kind of given up after that Seattle start. 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.520 This was definitely a positive, but there's still a lot 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.639 in his profile that worries me. Stuff comes in a 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.720 little bit below average. He's giving up a ton of 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.680 hard contact eleven percent barrel fifty one on the hard hit. 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.600 The strikeout rate for the season is only seventeen percent. 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.080 The ERA is at six thirty eight, and a lot 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:23.040 of the estimators are better, but they're not like drastically better. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.280 They're pretty not bad, like a three eighty six. Sierra 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.480 is all right, but I just don't know if he's 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.439 quite ready to trust yet, especially for the majority of 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.560 players in ten and twelve team leagues. I play in 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.119 a lot of deeper leagues. I'll speculate on him a 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.239 little bit this weekend, and like fifteen teamers if you're 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.560
