The internet too, by 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: the way, it was very slick this gogram. I feel 18 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: like off of the last Perfect Game, no hitter and 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: instead of like we got a perfect game, but everyone 20 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: was doing their little like shenanigans online, like hey, you 21 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: might want to tune in. Something's going on over here. 22 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: The minute I tuned in, Bam, it was gone Drew 23 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: Rasmussen two outs of a perfect game, and he went 24 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: in Andrew into the ninth I believe, on a seventy 25 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: nine pitch pitch count. 26 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: Just absolutely phenomenal. 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: Ras Musen was so good at the beginning of the year, 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: really tailed off. 29 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 2: Is it sad for you to watch. 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: These perfect games go by? Are you kind of like, 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: you know, are you an anarchist and you kind of 32 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: just like, I'm here to watch these go away? 33 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't do the shot in freight of thing, 34 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 4: So no, I'm not happy to see him lose it. 35 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 4: You know, I do think I guess it was Bob 36 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 4: Nightingale that was broke that little rule you were talking about, 37 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 4: and he did actually mention it on Twitter. So there's 38 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 4: always going to be somebody that will in this age 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 4: of social media and there's no secrets left. But you know, 40 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 4: you know, I like ras Musen. You look at his 41 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 4: overall numbers for the season and they're actually almost identical 42 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 4: to what he did last season. So he has his 43 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 4: ups and downs. His peripherals are always much worse than 44 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 4: his surface. Stats, but maybe he's just one of those 45 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 4: guys that the you know, advanced stats don't fully capture, right. 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a little early to say that. I guess, 47 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 4: you know, it's really only been two seasons. 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 3: But I don't know. I don't. I don't mind riding 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: Drew Rasmussen. 50 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: I don't either. 51 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: Almost one hundred innings under his belt under a three 52 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: era x FIP is nothing crazy three and a half, 53 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: so it's not like there's a major swing in the 54 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: wrong direction. Strikeouts have been a little bit low, and 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: they were a little bit low in this one, but 56 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: he was completely efficient. 57 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: This stat was wild to me. 58 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Wonk actually just brought something up in the chat that 59 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: it's been ten years to the day since the last 60 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: perfect game. Well, ESPN and MLB Metrics both shared this 61 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: stat that since the last perfect game, there have been 62 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: nine pitchers to take it to the ninth and lose it. 63 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: Nine pitchers since the last one have gone to the 64 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: ninth and lose a perfect game in the ninth. 65 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 2: That's a wild stat. Do you want to I don't, Andrew? 66 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: Did you click on the tweet it all? 67 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: Uh? No, I didn't do it? 68 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: Okay, you want to take a guess at any of 69 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: those names that were the nine that have lost it 70 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: in the ninth since Felix Hernandez is perfect game in 71 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: twenty twelve. 72 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 3: Gosh, it's so hard for me to remember. 73 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 2: Obviously got Drew, You got Drew sure. 74 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: Surezer is one in twenty fifteen, nailed that with the Nationals. 75 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: Oh, I gotta keep going, Verlander. 76 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: If you want to name one, you're right, I did 77 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: your job, all right. I will start off twenty thirteen. 78 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: Let's see if the chat mean the chat. You guys 79 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: could be looking at this. I don't know if anyone's 80 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: putting in there, but twenty thirteen you Darvish with the Rangers. 81 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: Use Merril Petite with the Giants against the Arizona Diamondbacks. 82 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: Then you had Suresuer Rich Hill in twenty seventeen with 83 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: the Dodgers at Pittsburgh. Jorge Lopez, How funny is that? 84 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: Now with the Royals at Minnesota, and now he's there 85 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in twenty nineteen lost the combined at Baltimore. 86 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: Mike Leak maybe the best name on this entire one 87 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: against the Angels, and the last one before Resbusen was 88 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: last year Carlos Redawn at Cleveland nine pitchers who lost 89 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: their perfect game in the ninth since the last perfect game. 90 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: Seems like that's that shows us there's no correlation. You 91 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 4: could be at one of the best pictures of all time, 92 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 4: or you could be a nobody and you could have 93 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 4: a close to a perfect game. So I don't know 94 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 4: what that says about. Drew rasmuson really nothing. 95 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: I guess the problem with like no hitters in perfect 96 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: games too, is it it is a Schmorgesborg of like, guys, 97 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: you look over here and you're like, here's Dallas Brayden, 98 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: and then over here here's you know, justin Verlander. You know, 99 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: you have like the best and the We're not calling 100 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: Dallas Braden the worst, but I mean Mike Leak, I 101 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: might be willing. 102 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 2: To call the worst like this list. 103 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: Like you said, yes, Mara Betit and Mike Leak on 104 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: this same list as like you, Darvish, Max Scherzer. 105 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: That is yeah. 106 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 4: It's also it's also interesting, you know, I feel like 107 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 4: there's more no hitters now than ever before, but fewer 108 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 4: perfect games. Maybe because it's like with all the strikeouts, 109 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 4: it's easier to avoid giving up hits. But maybe the 110 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 4: you know, walk rates are up some so it's interesting 111 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 4: how that dynamic has sort of shifted over time. 112 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've always had the correlation to the hitting side, 113 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: where the cycle is to the no hitter, as the 114 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: four home run game is to the perfect game, like 115 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: those are. Those have always been those correlations because I 116 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: feel like we've seen cycles. I guess have tapered down 117 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: a little bit, but we've had some runs. When cycles happen, 118 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: I feel like they just like up above, we get 119 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: like a whole bunch of them. But I would have 120 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: loved it. I love the perfect game. It's such a 121 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: unicorn of a thing to happen. And we almost had it, 122 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: but it was lost in the ninth just like me 123 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: playing on MLB the Show against Bogman. I had a 124 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: no hitter going in our first game of for months 125 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: last week. Oh we were streaming, and I lost it 126 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: in the ninth inning, of course, because of how that goes. 127 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: Uh, shame, shame, shame. 128 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: Brady Singer ends the Dodgers twelve game winning streak. And 129 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: Brady Singer has been quite the dude since all of 130 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: us have wanted him to not be the dude, and 131 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: on the year, He's got an over nine k per nine. 132 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: He's crossed over the one hundred innings pitch marker three 133 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: two nine ERA with a very impressive three three five FIP. 134 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: Home runs of kept in check. 135 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: Really, everything you look at are the underlinings of I 136 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: don't want to call an elite pitcher, but like a 137 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: top flight pitcher. How trustworthy are you with Brady Singer 138 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: through the rest of the season, Like do you I know, 139 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: like back and forth, like Nick Pollock has been a 140 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: little bit questionable, but on him, but you go and 141 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: look at the stuff and the results, like how much 142 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: trustworthiness do you have in Singer through the end of 143 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: this year. 144 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 4: I'm feeling good about him right now. I mean, how 145 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 4: can you not after doing that against the Dodgers. Of course, 146 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 4: in this twelve team league I'm in my home league. 147 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 4: People haven't really given much respect to Singer because he's 148 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 4: been on the waiver wire more and then not. I 149 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 4: picked him up for the one bad start he had 150 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 4: in that stretch, and then cut him again, and now 151 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 4: I picked him up again. You know, he's a two 152 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 4: pitch pitcher, so I think that always gives you a 153 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: little bit of cause for concern. With the starter, but 154 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 4: he's making it work, especially with his slider. It's really 155 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 4: effective pitch right now for him. He's got some really 156 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 4: juicy matchups coming up here as well, So I'm absolutely 157 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 4: going to ride the hot hand with Brady Singer right now. 158 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: In June he had a five nine to seven ERA. 159 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: In the month of July and August he has had 160 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: a sub two five WHIP. He had a two oh 161 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: five whip inly I'm sorry era in July and a 162 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: two three three ERA in August. So he went from 163 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: a first half of a four ERA where he gave 164 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: up eleven homers a little bit short of his sort 165 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: of a sample size here eleven homers batting to throwing 166 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: to a two sixty two batting average in the second 167 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: half a one sixty seven ERA, given up only two homers. 168 00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: Walks have cooled a little bit. 169 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: The batting average under two hundred. He has dominated hitters 170 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: on this on this second half of the year and 171 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: looks really really good. 172 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: And this is a little. 173 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: Bit more telling of ESPN, but his ownership in ESPN's 174 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: only fifty seven percent. 175 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: But I mentioned this on. 176 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: A couple itl shows you can tell like ESPN's so 177 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: wonked because there's so many people who have just given 178 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: up and not playing the major, major guys that are 179 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: on a pickup list every single week. Then both of 180 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: them like, don't even move over sixty percent because there's 181 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: so many people, doesn't matter what the percentage just look. 182 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: Like over there. 183 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: There's so many dead leagues and you know, just dead 184 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: ownership across the board that it doesn't move the table 185 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: quite enough. And or actually, you know what that was 186 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: Yahoo and ESPN's the same thing. It's even the lower 187 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: but Yahoo only fifty seven percent for some of the 188 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: same reason. 189 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 4: That's what I was gonna say. I was gonna say 190 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 4: it's fifty seven percent of Yahoo. I think it maybe 191 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 4: it's just the Royals too. 192 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: I feel like there's. 193 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 4: Certain teams that just haven't had a lot of great 194 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 4: pitchers over the years, and people just sort of start 195 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 4: giving up on certain franch and having biases towards, you know, 196 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 4: franchises that are always pumping out top pictures. I think 197 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 4: we've seen this maybe with the Orioles as well. People 198 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 4: don't want to ever trust Orioles pitchers just because of 199 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 4: past history. But we got to look at the numbers 200 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 4: and we you know, I think that what you brought 201 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 4: up about Singer's walk rate is really important. I mean, 202 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 4: that's way down from last season. It's barely over two 203 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 4: walks per nine right now, which is a much more 204 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 4: manageable rate for him. 205 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: So I like what. 206 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 4: He's doing and don't don't hold that Royal's affiliation against him. 207 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: You know, it's something to think about, Like it'll probably 208 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: be something down the line. It's impossible to read engage 209 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: from this guy, but you really got to wonder, like 210 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: what maybe rubbed off from Zach Granky. You know, hopefully 211 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: the good stuff and not the bad stuff. 212 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: But you know, Granky goes in in. 213 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks and they got Zach Gallon, and Zach Gallen 214 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: kind of even retransformed who he was. 215 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: Same thing is happening here. 216 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a direct correlation, but you 217 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: have like those veteran pitchers that if you want to 218 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: talk about a guy that understands pitching pitching, that's Zach 219 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: Grank and really may have rubbed. 220 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: Off in a positive way. 221 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: A couple of the headline notes here Dustin May recorded 222 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: ten strikeouts or five innings on Sunday in his last 223 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: minor League rehab start in Triple A. He also tossed 224 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,119 Speaker 1: an immaculate inning. 225 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: Which is crazy. 226 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: He needed just seventy pitches in those five innings and 227 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: this is coming back from Tommy John. He is slated 228 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: to return to the Dodgers rotation on Saturday against the Marlins. 229 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: Are you a full trust Dustin May? Guy? Put him 230 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: in no worries. We don't really have a gauge of 231 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: like how far. 232 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 2: They'll push him. 233 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: They pushed him seventy in his last I could see 234 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: him going seventy five to eighty in his first start 235 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: if they're pushing him like that in Triple A. But Andrew, 236 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: what's your trust level on Dustin May? For this weekend? 237 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 4: I'm happy to just plug him right into my lineup. 238 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 4: I don't know what we're going to get for the 239 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 4: entire season. I think that's a little more unclear, but 240 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 4: I feel like when he's starting, you just go with it, 241 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 4: you know. I Mean it was only five starts last year, 242 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 4: but he took this massive step forward last year in 243 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 4: the swinging strike rate, the k per nine. He just 244 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 4: looked like the dominant pitcher that he was supposed to 245 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 4: be in the first place, and he's looked like that 246 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: dominant pitcher as well in his rehab outings, so you know, 247 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 4: he looks like he could step right in and just 248 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 4: miss a ton of bats. And you love the Dodgers situation. 249 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: I mean, if you're hunting for wins, it's always a 250 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: good place. It's a team with a great track record 251 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 4: with pitchers. I mean, we're seeing guys like you know, 252 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 4: Tyler Anderson, Tony Goslin, you name it. These guys are 253 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 4: all coming in and they are awesome fantasy options. So 254 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 4: I would I would love to just have Dustin May 255 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 4: on my roster and in my lineup. 256 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: One thing I'm going to be really monitoring to is 257 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: how they treat the innings of all three of those 258 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: guys you just said obviously May, but throwing in Gonsolin 259 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: and Tyler Anderson just because you gotta wonder if you 260 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: get into September, if they start to screw around and 261 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: maybe try to piggyback. That's always been the big worry 262 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: for me, is if they tried any type of piggyback 263 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: to lower the innings on any of these guys. There's 264 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: don't really signs yet. Maybe it's just going to be 265 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,359 Speaker 1: a six man rotation is something they would consider over piggybacking, 266 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: but just an eye on it, and you know, coming 267 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: off with Tommy John's always a little scary. But Dustin 268 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: May's arsenal that like two seemy just flipping fastball is 269 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: just one of I think it's one of the best 270 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: pitches in baseball, if you especially for fastball usage. 271 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: It's just it's absolutely absurd to me. 272 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: And if his command is there, he's gonna put up 273 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: some really good results. Early on last on the big headlines, 274 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: Jeff Passing over the Weekend Reporter that the Nationals are 275 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: finally going to promote C. J. 276 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 2: Abrams from Triple A. 277 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: For whatever reason, they sent him down there to, you know, 278 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: get a better look at Caesar or Hernandez. But Luis 279 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: Garcia is going on the injured list. And in a 280 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: short period of time, I believe it was eight games 281 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: over in Triple A, Abrams was hitting two ninety and 282 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: had four stolen bases. No real big power. I think 283 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: he had two doubles. I think eleven hits, so not 284 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, only two extra base hits of that of 285 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: any variety, but the stolen bases were there. He got 286 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: to get acclimated a little bit and he's gonna come 287 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: up and he's just one of those guys. Maybe not 288 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: in a points league because he's not showing off like 289 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: really impressive anything power whatsoever, but anytype a category row C. J. 290 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: Abrams is a. 291 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: Must attempt pick up in my eyes, if he can 292 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: finish out the year. What say you on Abrams? 293 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, And he did hit seven homers in thirty Triple 294 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 4: A games with the Padres at the beginning of the year, 295 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 4: so there is still some power potential there, I think 296 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 4: as well. And you know, oftentimes with these prospects, it's 297 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 4: enough pressure having to come up to the big leagues, 298 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 4: but when you're coming up to a title contending team 299 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 4: and a team where there's a lot of competition for 300 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 4: playing time, I. 301 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: Think that just really adds extra pressure. And I think C. J. 302 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: Abrams is a player that might benefit now from being 303 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 4: out of the spotlight, just getting to play every day 304 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 4: without a lot of huge expectations on him. So because 305 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 4: the physical tools, the hit tool, it's all there. We've 306 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 4: seen it in the minors, and I think he could 307 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 4: put it together this year. I mean, you never know 308 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 4: with rookies, but I like the situation being out of 309 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 4: the spotlight of San Diego. 310 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: And he's aggressive on the base paths too. I remember 311 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: I was at his first major league game this year, 312 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: was against the Diamond, and you know, he was like 313 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: first first played appearance. I think I don't remember if 314 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: he got on by uh, you know, a lineout or 315 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: whatever it was. He just got on first and he 316 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: immediately went to steal on the first one. So I 317 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: mean he has been hyper, hyper aggressive on stolen bases. 318 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: He has next let I've called it used to be 319 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: the buckst in power. How I've referred to the minor 320 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: league speed. I'm sorry, the Bucks and speed. The I've 321 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: referred to as the Abram speed because the guy flies. 322 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: He does have power when he's really seeing the ball. Well, 323 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: it's been a little crazy over the last couple years 324 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: in his adjustment period, but Abrams is a guy if 325 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: you're trying to get stolen bases with a decent hit tool, 326 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: you should pick him up. 327 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if they'll put him high in the lineup. 328 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: I doubt they will early on, but there's always that 329 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: possibility to be. 330 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: Able the lookout for that. Some injuries. 331 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: Travis Darnaut should return tonight versus the Mets. Dustin may As, 332 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: we talked about how that rehab stent could tell Marte 333 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: is considered day to day with some hamstring tightness and 334 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: Ramon Lariano left Sunday's game with left side soreness. 335 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: Always speculate wonder could tell, uh, maybe get a little 336 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: bit banged up. 337 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: Maybe they consider putting him on the IL and maybe 338 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: they say, you know what, let's bring up that Corbyn Carrol. 339 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: Let's just bring him up. 340 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: We'll slide someone over at second, we get another body 341 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: in there. Just be on the lookout for that. Here 342 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: was a fun fact to this day in baseball Wonky 343 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: put on here. In nineteen fifty five, pitcher Warren Span 344 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: of the Milwaukee Brewers hit a home run off of 345 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: Mel Wright of the Saint Louis Cardinals to give Span 346 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: a home run in every National League park in nineteen 347 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: fifty five. 348 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: That seems like, what is that? What do you I 349 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: would love to know what does that look like? Right now? 350 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: As far as like guys hitting, they're making a bigger 351 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: deal about this stat when you know it was the 352 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: AL versus the NL, and they were all these separate 353 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: league type of things. I use air quotes, but like, 354 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: I would kind of love to see an active player 355 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: board of hitting homers in separate leagues or maybe even 356 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: more so, how many active players do you think of 357 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: hit a home run in every ballpark in Major League Baseball? 358 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: There's got to be some, right, or do you think 359 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: it's low like to none? 360 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 3: Well, I think that. 361 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 4: I mean, the real part of that stat was that 362 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 4: he's a pitch sure, right, and it was Waukee Braves 363 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 4: back then. Actually, but yeah, I mean I don't know 364 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 4: how many I would assume some of these guys that 365 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 4: have been in you know, playing for twenty years or 366 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 4: something like that, like maybe like a Nelson Cruise or 367 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 4: someone like that. 368 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 2: Pool Holes Cruise, Yeah, pool. 369 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 4: Holes, Yeah, exactly, some of those guys maybe. But you know, 370 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 4: I think back then in the fifties, there wasn't as 371 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 4: much specialization, so the pictures had to, you know, know 372 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 4: how to work the bat a little bit, maybe more 373 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 4: than they do now. I mean now, I think with 374 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 4: you know, with these high school kids, even you're seeing 375 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 4: I mean a lot of times the pictures are the 376 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 4: best player on the team in a high school team, 377 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 4: they're the best hitter and the best picture. You know, 378 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 4: but then they get into the minor league system and 379 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 4: they stop ever focusing on the hitting aspect at all. 380 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 4: So by the time they get up to the big leagues, 381 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 4: they're not much of a hitter anymore. But but you know, 382 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 4: I think back then that was not something that happened. 383 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 4: So maybe you saw some pictures that could swing the 384 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 4: bat a little bit. 385 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: I wasn't and I wasn't even like processing that when 386 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: I was saying that one. Ki's a hundred percent right, 387 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: adds any even more interesting stat also on what you 388 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: were just saying. I want to talk about two way players. 389 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: Just throwing it out there for everybody. Brenda McKay with 390 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: a red Race, just did a little rehab start the 391 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: other day, so I don't know if he's coming back. 392 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 1: Be very interesting to see if the Rays continue looking 393 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: at him as a two way player because of all 394 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: of the injuries. Here's a little deep dive. We don't 395 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: have to go too crazy into it, but you know, 396 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: we haven't done. This is something Joe and I did 397 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: a whole lot, and this was more so because of 398 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: one of these Races moving across. I went and took 399 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: a look at all of the future MLB futures for 400 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: awards and bets, and there is still one bet on 401 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: here that I think you can take, but almost every 402 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: other bet probably no shocker. It's mid August. 403 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: You should see it like this. 404 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: But there are no tight races but one and the 405 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: Furthest Race. This is actually probably shocker number two. The 406 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: furthest race of any of these is the al MVP. 407 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: Aaron Judges moved to minus six point fifty six and 408 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: a half on the favorite and Otani now a plus 409 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: four point fifty. Andrew, Joe and I have been very 410 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: very heavy about what O'tani had been doing mid season 411 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: as a two way player. It's I think it's still 412 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: hard to not give that to him. But my god, 413 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: the books have moved. 414 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: There is no. 415 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: Bigger deficit or favorite, if you will, on any of these, 416 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: but the al MVP race. 417 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, this is just one of those things 418 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 4: where it's like, really, if Otani keeps doing this, like 419 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 4: he should be the MVP every year, like there should 420 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 4: Like you can't really compare the value, but I know, 421 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 4: like Judge is having a truly special season, and I 422 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 4: mean he could challenge the home run record even and 423 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 4: you know the Yankees are a great team, and uh, 424 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 4: you know this is a this is a career season, 425 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 4: I think for Aaron Judge. So I understand wanting to 426 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 4: recognize that. So you know, the MVP is not it's 427 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 4: not a statistical competition. It's judged by people who have 428 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 4: bias sees and you know, make up their own minds 429 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 4: about these things. So we hear this all the time 430 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 4: about how much it matters how good the team is. 431 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 4: You know, how valuable can you be if your team's 432 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 4: not that good and things like that. But so, yeah, 433 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 4: I mean, I understand why the betting is in favor 434 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 4: of Judge, but I do think that if you want 435 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 4: to just talk about who is the most valuable player, 436 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 4: it has to be Otani. 437 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, And like Wonky brings up this point saying, don't 438 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: you throw ten bucks on Atani at this point? Sure, 439 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: But I said this a long long time ago that 440 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: I felt like, and this is like a commonplace that 441 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: will happen with like writers and stuff, is there'll be 442 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: a point where it's like they give it to somebody 443 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: and they're going to look at themselves in the mirror 444 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: and go, we can't give this guy this award every 445 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: single year. So they're literally going to give him a 446 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: strike because he's so amazing, and it's like, well, now 447 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: you got to do something more amazing for us, and 448 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: that could be something that leads to Otani not winning 449 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: this as if it's literally just like yeah, this is 450 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: great and all, but like, look at this guy. 451 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: He did this really cool thing. 452 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: This is different from who he was when you're right 453 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it probably should be Otan. 454 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: This will be an Otani Award. It's a really fascinating number. 455 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: And I don't disagree with Wonky, you know, don't throw 456 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: it on there. But the problem has been is Judge 457 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: is never cool down this whole season. We've had little 458 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, ups and downs, ebbs and flows with Otani, 459 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: and I think that's hurting the odds on a daily basis. 460 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: But why not make the bet. 461 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 4: It's kind of like the Oscars, you know, like in 462 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 4: the Oscars, they always want to give an actor the 463 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 4: award when they think it's like the one chance they 464 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 4: have left to give it to them or something like that. 465 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 4: You know, this is the chance to give it to 466 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 4: Judge Otani. They know there's going to be more chances 467 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 4: in the future to give it to them, or at least. 468 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 3: They think there are, so I think that could be working. 469 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: Against them, Like they're more of a disaster than they've 470 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: been in kind of a long time, especially with losing Trout, 471 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: so that might be part of it. There's some other 472 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: races that, look, you know, I think they're kind of locked. 473 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: Goldi in the NL is minus one forty. Riley is 474 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: plus three fifty. That one, I guess it could be open. 475 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: That one feels a lot more locked. You've got the 476 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: AL Awards very interesting. Verlander minus one fifty five ceases 477 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: plus two hundred. McClanahan is two six or six hundred. 478 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: I still think Verlander is still kind of a walk 479 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: on that. Sandy Alcontra is a huge push over on 480 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: the NL side, he's minus two eighty. And then when 481 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: you go over to the Rookie Awards, the number two 482 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: biggest deficit is Julio And I'm actually I was actually 483 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: a little bit surprised at this, not because Julio has 484 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: been incredible, but I just thought with some of the mistime, 485 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: Wit could have gained a little bit of ground. Uh No, 486 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: it's gotten worse. It is minus six hundred six to 487 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: one on your money for Julio in the opposite direction 488 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: minus six hundred, Wit is ten to one for your 489 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: money plus one thousand. 490 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: That's a huge deficit. 491 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: But the one bet I think you can make is 492 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: the NL Rookie of the Year Award. Spencer Streider currently 493 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: has a lead. He's actually pitching today. He's incredible minus 494 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: one fifteen, but his teammate Michael Harris is plus one fifteen. 495 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: The thing you do have to worry about that is 496 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: them monopolizing each other and eating themselves both up. But 497 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to look at this and 498 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: I was going to see Michael Harris as a leader 499 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: with Strider right behind. This is a bet, though I'm 500 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: not getting a lot of good mind, I think it's 501 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: the only bet that I can make. I feel like, 502 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: with any chance whatsoever, that is not the favorite. 503 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 4: Andrew, Yeah, I mean, I actually do like Michael Harris 504 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 4: in that competition, But it is real close. I mean, 505 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 4: when guys are, you know, on the same team, it's 506 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 4: kind of makes it more complicated, I guess. But yeah, 507 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, with Wit, I sort of get it, 508 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 4: just because the Royals aren't competitive, and you know, the 509 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 4: Mariners are surprising some people by being in the Pennant race, 510 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 4: being in the playoff chase. So I think that that's 511 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 4: working in Julio's favor for sure. But you know al 512 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 4: Contra too, I get it. But at the same time, like, 513 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 4: why do we think he's such. 514 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: A lock for that award? 515 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 4: I mean, like, there are other good pitchers in the 516 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 4: National League who are on winning teams. 517 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 3: I mean, like, could. 518 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: Plus eight hundred, he's eight to one, he's that Look 519 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: at that deficit. 520 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 2: Two eighty two plus eight. 521 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: Hundred is the deficit between al Contra and the number 522 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: two better? 523 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 4: What if, like what if Scherzer just dominates the rest 524 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 4: of the season, could he get in that race? 525 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 526 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: I think Sandy has been too dominant with how far 527 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: he's gone into games. I mean, maybe the numbers don't 528 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: look like astronomical as far as like strikeouts and stuff, 529 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: but he has been maybe the most he's been the 530 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: most valuable player of all of that. And I think 531 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: it's it's a very like textbookie type of bet that 532 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: I think, like purists would do. I get what you're saying. 533 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: I totally get what you're saying, because it's like if 534 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: you had six weeks of one of these guys six 535 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: weeks of Joe Musgrove taken the team on his back, 536 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: or you know, even Corbyn Burns. 537 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: Or sures Are, Like you said, you could do it, 538 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 2: but I. 539 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: Think it's too much ground to push. Like I'm looking here, 540 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: Suresier is forty to one if you wanted to make 541 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: that bet, but that was so much ground in time, well, 542 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: he had time lost on the year. 543 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: I think it's a lost cause. 544 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: I think anything may maybe you place a bet on 545 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: like fandle or something so you can cash out if 546 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: you're getting close. But I just I think this is 547 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: an oucontra run away with it. So I'm taking my ba. 548 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 4: I guess, I just I guess I just don't really 549 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 4: understand it, because I mean, the Marlins are not a 550 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 4: good team. It's not a major media market. Really, I 551 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 4: just I don't really get why he's such an overwhelming favorite. 552 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,959 Speaker 3: I guess. I mean he's a great pitcher, don't get 553 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 3: me wrong. 554 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 1: You get forty to one if you want to bet 555 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: yours right now, that's pretty good, right you want to 556 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: make that bet. 557 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 2: Here's some stats. 558 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: Drew Rasmussen, as we talked about when eight and one 559 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: third did give up that earned run a hit seven 560 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: strikeouts in his almost perfect bid. Michael Waka struck out 561 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: nine over seven, only giving up two hits for Boston. 562 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: Blake Snell a ten strikeout game over six. Bryce Elder 563 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: struck out ten and seven for Atlanta, and Brady Singer 564 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: struck out seven over six, giving up only one hit. 565 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 2: That did walk three. We talked about the walk rate was. 566 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: A little bit walk eh in that game. Over on 567 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: the hitter side, Brian Reynolds at a homer with a 568 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: five RBI game this weekend, Christian Walker hit a bomb 569 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: and he actually had. 570 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: Other hits, which is incredible. Four for five. 571 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: That's not something he does. Albert Poolholes had two homers 572 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: in his Do you think Albert Pooles legitimately could get 573 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 1: to that seven hundred marker. I think he's eleven away 574 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: in six. Do you think like some mirror, do you 575 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: see a miracle of baseball where he gets his seven 576 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: hundred or is he gonna just have one of those? 577 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: To me, it's super depressing when a guy in some 578 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: things so close, like if I were at six ninety eight, 579 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: I would have to play for another month next year 580 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: to get to seven hundred. Maybe it's an OCD thing, 581 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: but you think you can get to seven. 582 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 4: Well, the triggy thing is, you know, a lot of 583 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 4: it I think comes down to how much playing time 584 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 4: he gets, really, you know, And the problem is that 585 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 4: the Cardinals need to win games, so they're not going 586 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 4: to be in a situation at the end of the year. 587 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 4: I don't think where they can be like, oh, let's 588 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 4: just play auber Pools every day for two weeks so 589 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 4: you can get there. You know, like, they're not going 590 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 4: to be able to make that sort of decision. They 591 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 4: have to decide what lineup gives them the best chance 592 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 4: of winning each and every day. So I would lean 593 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 4: against it just for that reason. But it will be 594 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 4: a sad trombone if you finishes a couple homers short 595 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 4: totally agree. 596 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: I hate that stuff, and they're not going to count. 597 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: They don't count the playoff run to it, because you 598 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: can have like six ninety eight, then go into the 599 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: playoffs hit a couple and then we could all just 600 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: like be like, well, it's seven hundred. 601 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 3: Do we get a month of pooholes next season? 602 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 2: Then yeah, that's what I mean, That's what I would do. 603 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 2: But he seems like he's done. I just wouldn't be. 604 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: Able to help myself. I'm at Rosario, guy, I'm Rosario. 605 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: Homer and stolen based combo meal looking very very good. 606 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: Eight homers eleven stolen bases on the year, with a 607 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: two eighty eight batting average and a very low strikeout rate, 608 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: sixty four runs as well, pushing to maybe that ninety, 609 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: maybe even one hundred of things go well on the 610 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: back half. Any pas Quentino had a homer, Alex Bregman 611 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: a homer, Pollock Buxton combo meal byro Estrada had a 612 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: combo meal, and Raphael Devers homer going. 613 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 2: Two for four. 614 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: Some stat Zeros Ryan felt their six earned runs and 615 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: four and one third. Justin Dunn gave up five earned 616 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: runs and seven hits, walked a couple didn't get to 617 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: the fourth. Kevin Gousman Kevin Gousman four and two thirds, 618 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: five earned runs, give up nine hits, a couple, Thompson, 619 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: Zach and Keegan five and runs, four earned runs expect respectively. 620 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: Kevin Gousman Andrew like a little bit of a taper off. 621 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: Like I know, we all want to talk about the 622 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: Seaan McClanahan taper off, but Gossman's been a little bit 623 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: uh wonky on this second half. 624 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm disappointed. I'm a big Kevin Gasman. I was 625 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 4: a kool Aid drinker, so that is frustrating. But I mean, 626 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 4: look at his peripherals though still. I mean, he's got 627 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 4: a ten point four or five k per nine, which 628 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 4: is virtually identical to last season with the Giants. The 629 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 4: walk rate is the best of his entire career. It's 630 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 4: one point five to four walks per nine. He's not 631 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 4: giving up home runs either. I mean, like he's he's 632 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 4: on pace to shatter his best home run allowed number. 633 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 4: So it's kind of like hard to understand a little 634 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 4: bit why he's struggling. I mean, is it just maybe 635 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 4: a babep thing. I mean, his underlying numbers are still 636 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 4: very good, so I don't know. I'm a take it 637 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 4: from a hopelessly biased Kevin Gosman cheerleader, but I'm not 638 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 4: I still would be buying Kevin Gosman. 639 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,239 Speaker 1: Gossman in the second half a four let's see a 640 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: four to one three era compared to his two eight 641 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: seven first half era, not as his disappointing for sure, 642 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: disappointing right there on the zeros for the hitters. Willie 643 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: Pastro four strikeouts on you know Cruise for strikeouts. Would 644 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: you look at that? Matt Verlin four strikeouts, Berdie Chapman, 645 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: Judge and Cedric Mullins all over with three strikeouts. 646 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 2: So no point. 647 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: Oh drop them yeah, drop them all, yeah, drop every 648 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: single one them, Drop that Judge, drop that Mullins, get 649 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: them out of there. The home end contest Friends is 650 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: getting very very tricky because we have a tie high. 651 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: Cubby and Dee Blum are tied at forty two. None 652 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: of them hit homers. It looks like this weekend or 653 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: maybe one of them to Goldie one so too. Maybe 654 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: this red is for yesterday. Yeah, that's for the eight 655 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: to fourteen, so yesterday. Note they didn't have it. Terry 656 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: Mayer and Go Cards all at forty and then the 657 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: list kind of tapers down. I did not hit a 658 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: Julio one unfortunately for this weekend, so I didn't play 659 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: any catch. 660 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: Up on the bets. 661 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: I've pulled the number one on the total basin strikeout 662 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: and then the number one positive, so the number one 663 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: total base bet. According to betting pros MLB prop cheat 664 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: sheet algorithm is Matt Chapman today because he's at a 665 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: total base marker of one. You just have to get 666 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: one total base today, but it is juiced to minus 667 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: one seventy five, so that might be dicey. The number 668 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: one plus money bet is Taskar Hernandez over at Rivers Casino. 669 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: Apparently they've got. 670 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: On here at plus one twelve for one and a 671 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: half total bases, So those are you total base markers. 672 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: Spencer Streider your number one algorithm strikeout guy, it's juiced 673 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: at one sixty five, but you only got to get six. 674 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: That is on bet MGM. And the number one plus 675 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: money is Freddy Peralta on DraftKings against the Dodgers, and 676 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: it's plus money at one ten at five and a half. 677 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: So if you had to pick one Andrew, which one 678 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: of these bets are you picking? 679 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 2: Understanding the juice? 680 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I like that Paralta bet. 681 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 4: I mean he's got tons of strikeout potential and that's 682 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 4: a pretty low number. I mean, he is facing the Dodgers, 683 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 4: so that makes it a little tougher, but I don't 684 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 4: think that necessarily prevents him from getting the case. 685 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 3: So I take that one. 686 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: Well, if you want to do it go over to 687 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: bet MGM. I think that one was that one was DraftKings, 688 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: But you can do and make it over at bet 689 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,239 Speaker 1: mgm and use our promo code leading Off.

What do you got for the 695 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: beginning of this week? 696 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 4: I'm going to go with Matt Olsen. He's facing Carlos Carrasco. 697 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 4: He's a decent pitcher, but Olsen is hitting four fifty 698 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 4: five career off him, with two homers and two doubles 699 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 4: in eleven at bats. So and of course Olsen also 700 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 4: has three homers in his last three games, so swing 701 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 4: in a hot bat right now. We know the kind 702 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 4: of power he brings to the table each and every day. 703 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 4: So going with Matt Olson. 704 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: I didn't realize Wonky and I are going in the 705 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: same direction. We're both going with Rehes Hoskins up against 706 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: a lefty. Implied run totals I think are very nice 707 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: over there. The top five run imply. Total teams for 708 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: today are Toronto, Cleveland and Philly, and we're both going 709 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: with Reez Hoskins. Mike Mayer is going with the BVP 710 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: play of gm an Choi, and of course our boy 711 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: Joe Piezipia just has judge and perpetuity. 712 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 2: That is it. 713 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: Andrew Sifter on Twitter at Andrew underscore Sifter. I am 714 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: on Twitter at is it the Welsh? We gave up 715 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: the perfect, the no hitter just right out of the gates. 716 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: We had a little bit. This is like, none of 717 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: this is a quality start matchup if we are doing 718 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: the matchup on my performances here Internet, a little bit wonky. 719 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 2: Little bit of screws ups. 720 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: So I think we're at like a five and two 721 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: thirds four runs if you guys are scoring my hosting today. 722 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: Everybody but Andrew, you hit it out of the park. 723 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: You nailed it again, my friend.
