But first we got to 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: talk about Cole Reagan's. So you and I were on 23 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: Live as We Are Wednesdays at four pm Eastern on 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: the YouTube channel again ring the belt to that goes 25 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: daging for notifications, so you never miss a piece of 26 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: content here. But Cole Reagan's a short day for him. 27 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: He got hit pretty quickly with a ball from Jose Ramirez, 28 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: a shot that went off his glove and then off 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: his thumb. He tried to work through it. The first 30 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: pitch he threw actually went to the backstop, so that 31 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: wasn't a good sign, and he said, all right, I'm 32 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: feeling okay, I'm able to pitch through it, and then 33 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't because he gave up a bunch of runs 34 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: and ended up taking him out. And it was a 35 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: very short outing, just eighteen pitches, just five batters, gave 36 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: up a couple runs. So you're gonna be more imaging 37 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: and all that stuff here, but obviously a disappointing day 38 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: for people who had Cole Reagan's. We're hoping he avoided 39 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: the worst, but as of right now, we don't exactly 40 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: know what's going on. I would think if he went 41 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: back in and through for a couple batters, that the 42 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: very worst. It is just a contusion and nothing more. 43 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: But we thought the same thing would Jordan Lawler a 44 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and that turned out to be 45 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: worse than we expected. 46 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean on the end verse Mike Trout, we thought, 47 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: you know, it could be bad, and it was okay, 48 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: and it's just not good. It didn't look good. It 49 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: was Jose Ramirez right up right to his hand and 50 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: he immediately went to his thumb and he didn't use it, 51 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: so it looked really bad. Best case scenario, it seems 52 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: like it seems like we're going to dodge a major bullet. 53 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: For this would be more of a freak injury or 54 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: anything like that. Maybe this can be a reset too, 55 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: and those people will be complaining and just about some 56 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: of the production and maybe they just played a little 57 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: bit safe. Let him take a couple of days off 58 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: and hopefully this is going to be something that is 59 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 2: kind of a quick bounce back. But it was his 60 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: pitching hand, so I don't know. I'm kind of celebrating 61 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: that he's not immediately out you know, how to get 62 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 2: a new thumb or something like that. At this point 63 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: of the year, with all these pitching losses we're having. 64 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: I like that somebody called us good Morning Baseball. Kind 65 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: of like that as a hell of a title. Maybe 66 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: that's what we are, or good afternoon on the East Coast. 67 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: I guess at the very least, I know we have 68 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: other things to talk about. We got some pictures I 69 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: want to discuss too. But since it's been up in 70 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: the chat, Lee as a question, can anything stop Jordan Walker? 71 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 1: Will he hit sixty home runs? Yes? Things against stop 72 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: Jordan Walker, And no, he will not hit sixty percent. 73 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: Opposite, nothing will stop him. He's gonna hit more than sixty. 74 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: Greatest player in baseball, he's an All Star, He's an 75 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: MVP candidate, the greatest we've ever seen. Nothing could stop him. 76 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: And then what happens in April is what happens the 77 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: whole season. 78 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: And I just did a video about Jordan Walker too. 79 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: It's going to release later today that I think the 80 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: big Yeah, Jordan Walker is the only thing I'd stop 81 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: Jordan Walker. But here's here's the most interesting thing. We 82 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: talked about his baseball sip on page be bright red 83 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: like he's just crushing everything right now. But right now, 84 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: against left handed pitching, he's got a nineteen seventeen o PS, 85 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: so he's just killing lefties right now. His ops against 86 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: right handed pitching is just like six thirty four. So 87 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: obviously things are going to come back down to earth. 88 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: I think there's a way and a path here for 89 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: a twenty three year old Jordan Walker to find himself 90 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: at the major leagues. Be a twenty to twenty five 91 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: home run guy hit two sixty five, which is closer 92 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: to his expected batting average, and we're all very happy. 93 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: He's one of these players that if you drafted him 94 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: late or you picked him up off the waiver wire, 95 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: he's more valuable to you than he will be to 96 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: anybody else in the trade. You just ride the wave. 97 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: We see this every year with players. You just you're 98 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: happy you have it. You know, don't don't don't cry 99 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: because it's over. Smile because it happened. That's it. That's 100 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: what Jordan Walker is right now. But I also you 101 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: have to realize that what he's doing now is completely unsustainable, 102 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: and that's okay too. 103 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I'm kind of with you for the most 104 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: part on what you said, because like I actually think 105 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I think Walker is 106 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: going to have some ups and downs this year. Like 107 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: it's all super cool right now, There's definitely going to 108 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: be a downtick, but I think it can pop back up. 109 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 2: And what that to me, It speaks to what you said, 110 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: the end of the ending used to be just more 111 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 2: valuable for the guy that you hold for the season 112 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 2: and the total stature are going to get then trading 113 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: him off for like relative value. Right now, I love 114 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: what he's doing, and I think, like so much of 115 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 2: his game obviously exemplifies the awesomeness at this point twenty 116 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: six percent barrel. His hard hit rate numbers are absolutely ridiculous. 117 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: But I'm a little you know, I'm a little worried 118 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: he's doing everything off of fastballs. He's hitting off speed 119 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: pitches this year. But let's see when the pitch mix 120 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 2: comes down. He's not pulling the ball at all. He knows, 121 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 2: so that home run power could be double's power. And 122 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: his strikeouts are still right there thirty one percent last year. 123 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: He's almost a twenty nine percent right now. So like 124 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: what he's doing unlike previous years, is the mistakes that 125 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: are happening or the contact is super big impactful. But 126 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: I don't know if we see some clear changes in 127 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: his game of like, oh, he's only striking out twenty 128 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: percent of the time, so now he's making better decisions 129 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: at the plate while seeing the ball better. It's like, no, 130 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: he's just really tattooing the ball when he gets a 131 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 2: hold of it. And he's still got some of those 132 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: warts that you don't love. But on top of it, 133 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: I just amend to Jordan Walker. He was a guy 134 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: we said after the first couple of days, pick him up, 135 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: ride this wave. And now we're at a point where 136 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 2: I think I would give him some grace if he 137 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: comes back down to earth a little bit, because I 138 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: think I think there just might be like swings throughout 139 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 2: the years. I'm not going to be surprised with Jordan 140 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 2: Walker has twenty five plus homers by the end of 141 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: the year, but it might come with a great April, 142 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 2: an ok May, a bad June in July, and then 143 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: he carries back on the back end. 144 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: Of right year. 145 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: He's going to just be prepared. 146 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: But that would be better than what he's given us. 147 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 1: And if you look at the minor league numbers. There 148 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: he's a two eighty hitter with an eight hundred ops. 149 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: That's a that's really good. That means he's probably going 150 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: to be a pretty good major league player. So hopefully 151 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: things work out all right. Things kind of were better 152 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: for Uri Perez. Six strikeouts, just one shy of what 153 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: Welsh needed yesterday for his bet, which just sad. Four runs, 154 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: just two of them earned over five innings. So again, 155 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: inefficiency a little bit too. 156 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: First inning, first inning stuff he got He got taken 157 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: in the first inning, and he. 158 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: Has that same thing with the Yankee start last week, 159 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: right first inning, homer and a judge and then you know, 160 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: things settled down after that. We get better than that. 161 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was sixty one percent fastball in the first 162 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: inning and then he paired that down into the thirty percent. 163 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: But because of that, I you know, sometimes it's just 164 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: like weird feels or something. He had a thirty it's 165 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 2: like a thirty five or thirty four pitch first inning 166 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: where he gave up the runs. He was heavy fastball 167 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: and then he adjusted to it. I still kind of 168 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 2: am in like a I guess is a cool time 169 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: to buy Yuri Perez I think he's just getting through 170 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: and just buying, yeah, managing some of the weird stuff. 171 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: The walks were down a little bit, the CA's were there, 172 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 2: but just like ninety five pitches, you have a thirty 173 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: five pitch first inning, it is going to be tough 174 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: for you to get to those big strikeout numbers as 175 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: the game goes on. So, yeah, you said it best. 176 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: It was like it was a solid start. It wasn't 177 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: anything phenomenal, But I still think he's got the like 178 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: inner workings of like a top fifteen sp So I 179 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: think his cost is just kind of bluff for a 180 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: lot of people. If anything, people might be frustrated that 181 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: he's not, like, you know, one of the best pitchers 182 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: in baseball when they at the cost that they got him. 183 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: So I'm still into it. Wish it was a little 184 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: bit better, but I think we're getting there. 185 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: Kyle Bradish also, I think I think we're getting there. 186 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: And that's the other thing to say too. To earn 187 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: three runs five innings, struck out seven guys and went 188 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: over the White Sox and they went by two runs. 189 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: So I did cash my bet yes day, So ching 190 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: that's good. Joey Cantillo good star for him nine strikeouts, 191 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: two runs, one earn five and two thirds innings and 192 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: went over the Royals. He's one of my guys to 193 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: pick up this week. We just did a video about 194 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: the Waiver Wire pictures.

A question? 219 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: I think you got a shave? 220 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: Do I help the sweaty pits? The famous Livy dunswa, You. 221 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: Could definitely do that. I gotta be honest with you. You 222 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: can't rock the beard if you're Livy don like you 223 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: gotta you gotta go full commit. 224 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like that's funnier. Like you 225 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: know what, we should put a pole up beard or 226 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: no beard? 227 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: No? 228 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: Please, let's do well, we need to test the pole 229 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: out anyway, see if what's working. Say we could put 230 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: it out there because I heard before we're testing a 231 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: new pole situation where maybe we could see it stop. 232 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to Corbin Carol yesterday three for five, 233 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: two doubles at a triple. Ryan Nelson was good to 234 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: one running five strikeouts against the Mets in at w yesterday. 235 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: So the bullpen did not blow it yesterday for you Welsh. 236 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: But David Peterson certainly did five runs, six hits, two walk, 237 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: six strikeouts, got an e ra of six and Sean 238 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: and I came in. Still looks not great. He's the 239 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: most expensive relief pitcher right now. I don't know. The 240 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: One thing I will say is that I don't know 241 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: if Peterson's very long for this rotation. He's pitched in 242 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: the bullpen before. Manaiah doesn't look like he's ready to 243 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: go back into the rotation necessarily. But Jonah Toan did 244 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: strike out the seven guys yesterday, and he's he's on 245 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: the path the same like day schedule as Peterson, which 246 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: I think is interesting. Five innings, one run for triple 247 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: A Syracuse yesterday. So it's just something to keep in mind. 248 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: Those deeper leagues. Maybe Jonah Toan could be up sooner 249 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: than later. One guy was probably now a guy we 250 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: were looking at yesterday and say, okay, this is kind 251 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: of a work in the road. Start first, you were 252 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: pretty good. I look at that the pole is up there. 253 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: So far one hundred percent, say what shave it? 254 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: No beard? 255 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: No beard? Okay, so one hundred percent. We'll see how 256 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: it goes. But look at it. See Paul's live on 257 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: the show. Look at the technological age we live in, 258 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: so Joe Boyle yesterday had to have a good start. 259 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: It started off okay, and then things unraveled. He was 260 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 1: charged with six runs five I've earned him four and 261 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: a third only the first run though, for the first 262 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: four innings, and then the wheels just came off and 263 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: everything just went to crap. So after that, now we're 264 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: in a weird spot here with him. So what do 265 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: we do? Do we hold him because he's got the 266 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: White Sox next week? Do we drop him because that 267 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: is a favorable start, But we also know you still 268 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: got Matz, you still got Martinez, you still got Boy. 269 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: One of those guys is going to be gone eventually 270 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: when Pepio comes back. So what do you do here? 271 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: Do you drop them for a Narraghetti, do you drop 272 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: them for a Vazquz or do you just hold tight 273 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: because next week he's got the White Sox? 274 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 2: Thank you? Just well, Okay, I do think that that 275 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 2: matchup is pretty interesting. I think that's probably going to 276 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 2: be in the streamer range. But I would say if 277 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 2: a guy like Randy Vasquez was out there, I think 278 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: i'd want I mean, I think he's pitching today, so 279 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 2: we'll have to see. Probably want to pick him up. 280 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: We know the strikeout potential is there, but like I mean, 281 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 2: I'm looking, I'm looking at it the secondary stuff. I mean, 282 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: even as sinker is sinker was thirty six percent zone percentage. 283 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: That wasn't getting any chases on any of the pitches. 284 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Joe Boyle is an interesting one. 285 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 2: I think he's just in streamer range right now. Unfortunately, 286 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: to this conversation, like you said, the stream that you 287 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: would want would be this next one, So I guess 288 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: you could hold on too him, but I would not 289 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: hold on him to stream if there is any of those. 290 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Tys Bradley's not going to be out there, 291 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 2: but if there's any of those like kind of pseudo 292 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: excite like the Joey Cantillo and Randy Vasquez, like I 293 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 2: would rather just have those guys on hold. But if 294 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: it's like him versus they had Wardos of the world 295 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: and stuff like, I would hold for the next start. 296 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 2: But yeah, not good, not good at all. 297 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: All right, So so far Shave the beard is winning, Yeah, 298 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: as it should be, all right, just saying I think 299 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: it's funny with both ways. All right, Let's talk about 300 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: Sal Stewart. He's been fantastic. I see the chat wants 301 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: to talk about it to two for four to run 302 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: home or stole base. I think one of the things 303 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: for salth Stewart this year going into camp, he was 304 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: in quote the best shape of his life. Last year. 305 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: I think he was not out of shape for a 306 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: young kid, not where he needs to be. And I 307 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: saw an interview with him in the offseason and Tito 308 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: kind of basically said, hey, you know, I want you 309 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: to You're my guy. I want you to show up 310 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: next year ready to cook. I want you to lose 311 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: you know, ten pounds. I want you to be ready 312 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: to play full Major League baseball season. And to his credit, 313 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: he showed up in great shape. It's showing up right now. 314 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: I think in the stat lines, Duelva Marte hasn't been 315 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: good South Stuart's been great. Stuart has been as advertised 316 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: and certainly one of the main contenders this year for 317 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. So if you have Stuart, things 318 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: are going great for you. And I am also not 319 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: in the like I'm not trying to get rid of 320 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: him anytime soon. Like I think you have Stuart. This 321 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: is not like a cell high thing. I think sometimes 322 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: with some of the rookies, people get a little antsy. 323 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that with Stuart. I think 324 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: he's a good player, good ballpark, good offense. I'm sticking 325 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: with him. Where are you at with Stuart and his 326 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: performance year to date so far? 327 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely was really squirrely. I think in the 328 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: Black Book I wrote up like the concern is going 329 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: to be, you know, is the bat enough to keep 330 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: him on the field if he's like a negative defensive guy, 331 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: And so far both are answered like he is kind 332 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 2: of a negative defensive guy. But the bat just looks 333 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 2: so elite, like outside of look at the stuff. I 334 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: always go to hard hit check, you know, fifty four 335 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: percent barrel, twenty percent love it. He's getting the ball 336 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 2: in the air. Okay, this is great. He doesn't strike out. 337 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: He has a higher walk percentage than a strikeout rate. 338 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: Seventeen percent walk rate, thirteen percent k percentage. Ridiculous, it's 339 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: a it's a mid average chase. He's not whiffing. He's 340 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: just making absolutely ridiculous contact in a great ballpark. Great 341 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 2: decision making. He's not pulling the ball, but like he's 342 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: just doing enough. It's one of those things to me 343 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: that he's gonna end up being like a high batting average. 344 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: Maybe he's not a I think you could look at 345 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: the stats and be like, oh, this could be like 346 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: a thirty home run guy. I think he might end 347 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: up being like a twenty two to twenty five but 348 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: with a really high batting average. I'm in. I don't 349 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: think selling him is worthwhile at this point. He's got 350 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: a plate discipline set of skills that I think is 351 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: just going to make him more sustainable to the ups 352 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: and downs than a lot of other guys. So yeah, 353 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: I'm with you, And just right out the show, Frank 354 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: Coda put him in like four. You know that was 355 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: very telling to us. So d n L Rookie of 356 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 2: the Year Chase is going to be so fascinating between 357 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: him Connor Griffin digit well, maybe not Connor so much, 358 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, Nolan McClain like it 359 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 2: is an awesome race and sALS at the top. 360 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: I love the Connor Griffin' signing the massive contract. Then 361 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: days like eeah, take a day off today, like what 362 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: spend your money? The hell? I guess all right, let's 363 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: talk about some of the prospects that actually we talked 364 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: about earlier in the week. Still continuing to produce. Max 365 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: Clark three for four with the ribbie and his steal. 366 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: He's at four to twenty one so far. He's got 367 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: five stolen bases. I mean he's reached based safely in 368 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: ten consecutive games here. I mean, the guy's just on fire. 369 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: You gotta stash him right now. Charlie Condon came back. 370 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: He was doing with I think was a sist or 371 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: something he had removed, I believe, is what I heard 372 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: earlier this week, So he missed a couple of games there, 373 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: three for six with his third home run of the 374 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,239 Speaker 1: season on Wednesday, did he or Fuentes posted eight strikeouts 375 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: and six shot outings and triple A. He's another interesting 376 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: guy to kind of stash right now. And Noah Schultz 377 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: another Welsh favorite. Nine strikeouts yesterday Welsh in five innings. 378 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: So look, Condon I think is going to get there first. Schultz, 379 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: I think second. But I don't think Max Clark can 380 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: be held down too much longer. Like I think you're 381 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: gonna see Max Clark by Memorial Day, but I think 382 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: you'll see the other guys in early May. That's my eta. 383 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if you agree or disagree. 384 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 2: I you know, before the season, all I could do 385 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: was talk negatively about TJ. Rumfield, and now you know 386 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: I'm talking about him as a pickup. I actually would 387 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: change this up. I would say, I think, oh man, 388 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: I think I think Conon's the last one to go 389 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: up because Rumfield is really really good. Well, like I 390 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: would love to see him, but Rumfield has been great. 391 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: I mean, they could justify putting Charlie Connon in a DH, 392 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: but they're just they're stacked in the outfield right now, 393 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: so there's just not a lot of destination for him 394 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 2: unless they want to Rumfield and him go between first 395 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: and DH. I think Max could get there really quick. 396 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 2: And my whole point with Noah Schultz was that after 397 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: three or four starts, I think this team is gonna 398 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 2: want him up in the majors to you know, he's 399 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: had arm issues. There's nothing left to prove. He's showing 400 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: that he just absolutely balled out in this last start 401 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 2: he struck out nine that I actually think Noah Schultz 402 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 2: could be the first one. So I'm gonna go Schultz, Clark, 403 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: and then Condon, hopefully all of them before May all right. 404 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: We got some clips here from a friend or across 405 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: about Clark. And then I think it was yesterday's game too, 406 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: again just spraying the ball all over the place, just 407 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: hitting Gray. By the way, mcgonagi was getting a day 408 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: off today. But you're watching Max Clark kid here again, 409 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: left handed, easy stroke, he's putting the ball out there 410 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: and play. We know he's got speed too. He's a 411 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: really good athlete. I told you he's the travel ball kid, 412 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: all grown up. 413 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 2: Who's still eighty four bases in his senior year of 414 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 2: high school. 415 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: He's just tremendous. I mean, the Max Clark he's just 416 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: cool too. Like I mean, you watch Max Clark play. 417 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: Like I said, everything's just easy for him. He's got 418 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: strong lower half. He's gonna hit the ball in the gaps, 419 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna hit for power, he's gonna steal bases, he's 420 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: gonna do all those things. And I think the Tigers, look, 421 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,719 Speaker 1: this is your year, right, Scooble is going nowhere right now, Right, 422 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: You're keeping Schooble through the year. You didn't trade him 423 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: in the off season. You put the glasses on and 424 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: you play Max Clark and you play Kevin McGonagall, and 425 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: you play everybody that you think is gonna help you win. 426 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: And I get it. You want to keep him in 427 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: the lineup every day. And I understand there's veterans and 428 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, but whatever you need to do to win. 429 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: Right now, for the Tigers, this is your all in moment, 430 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: This is your Max Clark moment. Don't wait too long. 431 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: If this kid can help you, get him up to 432 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: the big leagues and let the kid play. 433 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, friend over Prospects Savant, it pretty much 434 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 2: it only aggregates because we only have the information. I 435 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: didn't realize you have the glasses on. I wasn't looking. 436 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: It only aggregates Triple A data and they have like 437 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 2: a prospect Savant's score, and Max Clark has the third 438 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: highest score, the two above our Connor Griffin and a 439 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: close personal friend as Merlin and Valdez are the top. 440 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 2: But you know in Triple A right now, he's got 441 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 2: a double walk to strike out. Maxwark has a six 442 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 2: percent walk right, double digit I'm sorry, double digit walk percentage, 443 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 2: six percent K percentage, ninety one percent average exit velocity. 444 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 2: He's putting up good hard hit numbers like you said, 445 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 2: he does everything. I am relatively confident I have been 446 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: the highest on Max Clark in my prospect in our 447 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: Fantasy prospect ranking world for the last three years to 448 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 2: at least two years. I've I've I've had him in 449 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 2: the top ten forever. I've got him, I think at 450 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 2: five or six right now. Like I've always loved Max 451 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: Clark because I think there will be power. I think 452 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: he's an aggressive base dealer, and I think he hits 453 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: for high average without strikeouts, and that is like it's 454 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 2: like McGonagall. So I love me some Max Clark, me too. 455 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 2: Why are you? Why are you? Why do why do 456 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 2: you have mar I say, like, why are you wearing 457 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: a Mario hat with glasses? 458 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: It's me. I'm a travel ball to guy. Uh yeah, 459 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: these classes. 460 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 2: Do the travel The flag footballers do the glasses. 461 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: Are they like my daughter?

I always feel like when 464 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 1: she's wearing the shades, she plays even better. We got 465 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: a tournament in Baltimore this week. 466 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 2: And now just get her a couple of chains, maybe 467 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 2: she'll be even better. 468 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: The flag football drip, especially on the girl's side with 469 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: the hair dews and the stuff is crazy.

That's funny, well done, 501 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: bed good. 502 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 2: You see, by the way, somebody the fanatics had a 503 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 2: tweet where they were looking for this this New York 504 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 2: guy with all these buckets, and someone tagged you, and 505 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: then fanatics like recommented back like they were like they 506 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 2: thought for a minute, you might be and I want 507 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 2: to be like, this is Joey Buckets, but it's not 508 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 2: the same guy. 509 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: So you know what, I did see that, and I 510 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: was very happy that someone stood up for me as 511 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: the og Joey buckets. See that guy's just trying to 512 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: prove too much, you see, and he didn't eat all 513 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: those buckets. Yeah, all the buckets that I. 514 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 2: Have, I ate you did eat almost completely alone. 515 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: Too. 516 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 2: We need, we did need to have a collection of 517 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: like the big account suite leading off is interacted with 518 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 2: over time. We need to collect like fanatics, obviously Joe Dirt. 519 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 2: If people don't remember Joe Dirt tweeting me from jail, 520 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 2: you know, we've had some good moments. We need to 521 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: collect those. 522 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: Did the Carbon San Diego whenever tweet you or no, 523 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: they don't have. 524 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if there's an official account. 525 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: It's too bad, all right? Three up and three down 526 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: Mackenzie Gordon nine strikeouts at five innings yesterday. Rangers pitching 527 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: has been pretty solid, especially with the Ebaldi bouncing back 528 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: this week. Raphael Devers two before with a dinger, and 529 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: Taylor war big night three doubles, four for five, two 530 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: Rebbies and the Orioles went over the White Sox, the downs. 531 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: Frem Or Valdez just Brown down, terrible, awful, boom boom, 532 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: six runs in the first eight runs altogether. Again, awful 533 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: first inning and unfortunately no bueno for the Detroit Tigers. 534 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: Reeddetmers gave up six runs, five earned as well, and 535 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: Brady Singer was lit up for six runs, five earned, 536 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: also in two and two thirds. So some rough days 537 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: for some pitchers yesterday on the mound. Let's talk about injuries, 538 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: and let's talk about Zach Wheeler. I know we got 539 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: some stats on Zach Wheeler, so we'll throw him up 540 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: here now. He did have six strikeouts in his rehabs start, 541 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: gave up one run in four and third innings on Wednesday. However, 542 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: the thing that I talked about earlier in this week 543 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: in the trade video on the YouTube channel, So then 544 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about here today, his velocity was just 545 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: nine to zero point nine. Okay, So ninety two miles 546 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: an hour after sitting ninety six normally is where he 547 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: sits at. That's still a ways away from where the 548 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: velo has to be for a guy like Zach Wheeler. 549 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: So Welsh, I will ask you, now, how do you 550 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: feel about Zach Wheeler's performance? 551 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm obviously genuinely can now like now that you 552 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: stack in. Uh, it would have been cooler, been cooler 553 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 2: if you would if I was worried earlier on, but 554 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: I wasn't. And now after like a handful, you get 555 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 2: like multiple games where the vilo is not crossing back up. 556 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 2: This is getting into like S McClanahan territory where it's 557 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 2: like why is this mechanical or is this a bigger 558 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: problem because like I think in early stages of spring 559 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: Wheeler you can throw him into the camp of like 560 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 2: he just didn't get to do you know the stuff. 561 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: You could have argued that, like you're still going through 562 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: this mechanical process and da da dat. It's clearly not 563 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: the case. This does look like the remnants of the 564 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: thoracic outlet syndrome, just like having an effect you know different. 565 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 2: But with McClanahan, like he couldn't figure out, like why 566 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: is it not there? It seems like we're in that 567 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: same stage. Yeah, I'd be worried, Like I think Wheeler 568 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 2: is a guy that can find some success, but that's 569 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: a significant drop in vilo. So I'm not sure what 570 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 2: you do with it, though, Joe, because I think all 571 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: the negative stuff with Wheeler, maybe you could still get 572 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 2: the price that you paid. But my argument always has 573 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: been you paid such a low cost for Zach Wheeler, 574 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 2: is it really worth trading out now because you think 575 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 2: it's going to be absolute trash or do you just 576 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 2: see what this is going to be when we get 577 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: to the majors and see if he can have success 578 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 2: with a lower velocity. I tend to think the latter here, 579 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm I am. I am definitely now in 580 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: the worried territory after multiple Triple A VLO down starts. 581 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: And I said this on was It Tuesday? We did 582 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: that show about the guys to trade. I think Zach 583 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: Wheeler still has the name brand value even if you 584 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: got him later A draft has already been some pitching 585 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: injuries here or pitching bad performances enough where somebody could 586 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: look at it say I'll take a flyer on Zach 587 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: Wheeler right because he's so young, he's great. Would you 588 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: rather have rest of season Mackenzie Gores or Zach Wheeler. 589 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: McKenzie Gore, Nick Pavetta or Zach Wheeler? I mean, at 590 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 2: this point, Nick Pavetta, yeah, I don't think you can 591 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 2: get you rather have I don't think first off, I 592 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 2: don't think you can get these. I think you could 593 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: do sp for sps like that, but I would definitely 594 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: get that those guys. 595 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: Let me throw one more sp for sp Jack lighter 596 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: or Zach Wheeler rest this season. 597 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: Uh man, that's really tough because I've like, take light 598 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 2: Jack lighter up my board. 599 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: Me too, I'll take lighter. 600 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. I just think trading Wheeler for lighter 601 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: is weird right now, Like. 602 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: It is weird. But I think the problem you're gonna 603 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: run if you wait too long is more of this 604 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: concern starts them out. Like if you just looked at 605 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: it on its face, you say, oh good, start six. 606 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: You know what strike you? All this stuff? People look 607 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: at the the stats, they don't look at the VLO necessarily, 608 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: and I or they'll think to themselves, oh, I'll just 609 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: come back. It might not, okay, throstic outlets. It's killed 610 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: Matt Harvey's career. It killed a lot of great careers, okay. 611 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: And they can tell you all you want about how 612 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: it's a different version of it. I don't want to 613 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: hear about it, okay, until you prove otherwise and somebody 614 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: comes back from this whatever version of it. I don't 615 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: want anything to do with these guys. And Wheeler to 616 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: me is one of these guys. And I'm terrified of 617 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: and I think you were in a point where if 618 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: you wait too long and he comes back to the 619 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: big leagues and he gets knocked around, then his value 620 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: really craters. And I don't want to wait that long. 621 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: I think I'm I think I'm gonna risk it. I 622 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 2: think I'm good risk. 623 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: Two good arguments. That's for everybody else to decide there, 624 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: And it looks like I am shaving my beard for 625 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: the Livy Done. O. 626 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 2: Wait, now can I have another another pole? Next pole? 627 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: Next pole? 628 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: Lipstick or no lipstick? No? No, no, I thought you're 629 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: gonna say lighter or wheeler right, No, no lipsy, I 630 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: mean you're gonna be Livy done. 631 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: Brother. No, no, I'm not wearing lipstick. It's not becoming 632 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: a drag show here on the show. Okay, We're just 633 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: we're just having fun. 634 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 2: I mean it kind of is. 635 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: It was a very hearty laugh from Welsh. I haven't 636 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: heard Welsh laugh like that in a long time. So 637 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: zach Ef Flynn underwent Tommy John. He is out for 638 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: the year. He's done. So that didn't last too long 639 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: there for Ethlyn Jackson Holiday one for three in his 640 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: rehab star Christian Xavier again removed yesterday with a shoulder tight. 641 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: That's not great. Spencer Orghetty's coming up Adam Now he's 642 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: twenty percent rostered on CBS, which means he's basically less 643 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: than that everywhere else. And then Kyle Stowers is going 644 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: to play a little first base apparently this season, which 645 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: means you're gonna see Owen Casey stick around, You're gonna 646 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: see co nine stick around, You're gonna see Marci stick 647 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: around that outfield. And I think that's good. I think stours. Look, 648 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: Stower's gonna play every day when he comes back, and 649 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: he's supposed to be on rehab, maybe even this weekend, 650 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: I've heard, so that's positive. He gains some position eligibility 651 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: to playing first base in altfield, that'd be nice. 652 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the position eligibility. That's kind of thing 653 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 2: I think what I'm focused on here, So I'll take 654 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 2: that as a big plus. 655 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the home run board.

Boohoo, Cry me a river. 676 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: I don't care. It's just not a lot of choices, 677 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: and I'm sick and tired of taking Royals. I was 678 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: gonna go Royals again.

Bobby Wit up on, 684 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: Anthony K. Get the ball up, brother.

It's time for the best bets of 688 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: the day, brought to you by hard Rock Bed the 689 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: Sportsbook of Florida. Hard Rock Bet is available for you 690 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: right now in a lot of states and adding more 691 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: every single day. So if you haven't already checked out 692 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet, and now's the time to get in 693 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: the game. And today I'm gonna go with the under 694 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: in what I think might be a surprise pitcher's duel 695 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: between Noel McClain and eduardal Rodriguez in the Mets Diamondbacks 696 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: rubber games. So again I said I would wear my 697 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: Arizona Diamondback shirt that I got in Arizona last week 698 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: if the d Backs win the series, I might wear 699 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: it anyway because it's kind of cool. I like it 700 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: short sleeve, but it's got the Hood's got a Bill 701 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: Belichick kind of style too. 702 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 2: I saw what shirt you got while you were here, 703 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: So no because. 704 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: I got at the airport because I didn't remember. I 705 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: didn't like the ones at the shop they had. They 706 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: were kind of like, I don't know, overpriced and not great. 707 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: I found one at the airport. I was like, oh, 708 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: this is cool and fifty percent off. I was like, 709 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: how you doing, Let's go. But got mcclan and Rigaz 710 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: on the mound. The Mets bullpen's been very good, and 711 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: again no Wan Soto for the Mets in this offense, 712 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: so I think this is going to be a low 713 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: scoring game. So I'll take the under seven runs at 714 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: minus one ten for that game tonight. And again it's nighttime. 715 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: It's been pretty chillier like yesterday. Even in the daytime 716 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: it was in the forties here. I know it's a 717 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: little warmer tonight, but still it's probably going to drop 718 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: into the forties again for that game. So that's my pick. 719 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: Where are you going for your best bet of the day, Welsh. 720 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 2: I'm going to be backing my boy Waiver wire pickup. 721 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 2: On the pitching market, Randy Vasquez, who has been absolutely 722 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: dominant to start the year, talked about changing the pitch 723 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 2: mix up and lowering fast or actually upping his fastball. 724 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: Forcing fastball usage has five pitches he uses ten percent 725 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: of more of the time. It's been really really efficient, 726 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 2: and he's going up against the Rockies team who's actually 727 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: been surprisingly good so far this year. But this is 728 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: at home in San Diego. Fasquez has been awesome. I 729 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 2: do actually kind of feel comfortable in a state that 730 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 2: like you could take the full game. But this is 731 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: backing Randy. This is the offense getting to the Rockies early, 732 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: who at this moment don't even have a designated pitcher 733 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: that they're going to get some runs in. So we 734 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: are backing San Diego through the first five innings to 735 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 2: be up by a run. That's run minus one twenty five. 736 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 2: I really really like that today. So Randy Vasquez and 737 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 2: the padres up by a run through the first five. 738 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 2: That's my bet. 739 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: New sign ups and hard Rock beck can double their 740 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: winnings with their first ten beats. That's max of fifty dollars. 741 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: That means if you would have won one hundred bucks, 742 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: now you make it two hundred. So out sit on 743 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: the bench, get out there, download the hard rock Bet 744 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: app today and get the party started with hard rock 745 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: pet payble and bonus bets, not a cash offer offered 746 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: by the Seminal Tribe of Florida and Florida offered by 747 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: the Seminal Hard Rock Digital LLC in other states.
