We are going 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:58.200 to talk about a said prospect on the Diamondbacks. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.240 We're gonna talk about another top prospect. We're going to 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.200 talk about the fears we have of the injuries of 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.840 losing a top player, but it's looking like it's not 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.000 going to quite be and we're gonna go through the 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.399 home run contest on a wonky Wednesday. 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:11.920 Probably the best day of the week, I would. 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.360 Say, when we get the wonky Wednesday and we get 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.280 special calls, Kelly, I think you'd agree, right. 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.640 Oh, absolutely, Monkey Wednesday's the best. 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:19.720 I like this wonky on the Welsh Wonky in the 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.479 well has a good ring to it, and that's pretty 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:21.960 good it does. 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:22.479 Yeah. 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.480 And I would also point out, just like Bob said, 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:26.840 he hit the thumbs up on the way and did 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.080 you make sure you guys like the videos on the 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.319 live streams and make sure that you guys subscribe so 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.200 you get notified anytime we go live, because you never know. 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.399 I don't know what the plans are, but what if 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.080 there's stuff in the off season, what if there's Dynasty content? 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.480 What if you just forget where you are all of 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.840 a sudden and then it's March and the show comes 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:45.920 back and you're not notified. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:46.920 Just make sure you're notified. 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.440 Subscribe to the YouTube channel for leading off on the 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.240 Fantasy Pro MLB channel, and you'll be all set and 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.760 then you have absolutely no worries in the world. And 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.200 that's all that we're asking for. The fear that we 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.000 had that was clankering around for every fan see Baseball Owner, 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:05.000 just Fantasy Baseball or baseball fan was Shane McClanahan being 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.480 scratched from his start last night, stating that he couldn't 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.560 get his left arm to quote get loose. One of 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.320 the scariest parts of this is they had just a 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.240 whole bunch of cameras. I was watching him tonight, I 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.400 think what was going on, and they cut to it 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.880 and they showed him throwing, and then they showed him 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:22.680 talking to one of the pitching coaches. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.680 And like as like a dad. 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.240 It was like a dad moment where he just kind 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.079 of topples over into the pitching coach's arms and kind 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:30.880 of tears. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.440 Up, and you see that and you go, oh no, 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:35.399 oh no. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:39.200 We all were like, no, we can't do not Tommy 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.079 John and take this. 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:40.680 Away from us. 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.880 But Kelly, we got some good news, as McClanahan after 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.040 the game said that we don't think it's anything major, hopefully, 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.160 and I think we're going to be all right. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.320 So possible crisis averted. 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.040 Possibly, But I do remember going through this with Tyler 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.480 Glassnow a little bit as well, where it's like it's 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.120 no big deal, it's fine, and then off we went. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.160 So what is it about Tampa? What is it about 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.880 Tampa where they have just amazing pictures and then they 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.480 have issues, so like it's kind of a very weird 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:11.799 Shane Bass. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:13.720 I mean it's like here we are. 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.280 It obviously is built into something, you know, getting like 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.400 it almost like to have like a sheet down of 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.480 like the intricacies of how teams. 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:22.359 Work, like the Diamondbacks. 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.519 They've changed this now, but the Diamondbacks had a pretty 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.079 well known like they didn't want cutters thrown. I think 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.880 it was I think it was cutters or and I 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.920 think it was just in lieu of sliders and they 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.799 weren't letting their pitchers do that. And you kind of 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.680 get like similar things in development, and there's a certain 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:37.800 point almost like something you. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:38.360 Can look at again. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.360 I'm making about the Diamonbacks because I know them very well, 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.800 where it's like, why are these prospects always having these 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.920 shoulder issues? Is there something to the players or how 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.280 the regimen is going? Same thing with Tampa Bay, because 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.440 it's a really good point. What's with the arm issues? 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.240 I mean, remember Brent Honeywell. Brent Honeywell's out there, Shane 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.600 Boss is dealing with it. McClanahan. Is it something in 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.960 how they are teaching or maybe not teaching these guys 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.480 to do. I don't know what it is, but I 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.880 am just like crossing my fingers because I think McClanahan is, 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.760 if not at the top of the Dynasty number one 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.080 overall pitchers, and I think for next year, if we're 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.320 looking at early ranks, he's got to be at least 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.720 in the top three. When you agree, yeah, Brendan McKay, 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.720 that's another one good one go cards. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:18.480 Yeah. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.920 I mean I would say for me and Dynasty, he 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.080 was number one mister buster, and I've been talking about that, 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.799 but it's like, this is the guy you want and 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.560 he would be the ultimate. This is why we can't 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.400 have nice things example, if he actually goes down, because 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.679 I mean, he's just been beautiful. I like, I arrange 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.880 my schedule to watch him pitch just because he's great. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.680 And it's one of those things with bets too. It's 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.560 just like get out there. I completely agree. And how 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.400 many pitchers are there out there that are like that? 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:45.880 Right now? 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:50.080 For me, I think it is a contra it's McClanahan 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.040 and de Gram those are the only three that are 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.040 like appointment. I don't want to take anything away from 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.080 Verlander or Corbyn Burns or anything like that. But if 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.479 you know me personally, when it's appointment time, it's those 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.479 three and it's only those three in baseball, and that 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:03.039 says something. 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.440 M Yeah, absolutely, I mean I might throw show Ay 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:10.080 in there occasionally, just I mean, he's not musty for me. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:11.320 But but yeah, I tuned in. 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.000 I mean I tuned into the grom starts even being 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.960 at Grump. I'm like, I have got that. I mean 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:17.800 I've showed him to like friends who happened to be 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.600 over him, Like just a second, you have to watch 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.160 this like the best picture, and he's like, OK, and 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:22.760 everybody's like, can we not talk about that? 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.200 I am about to tell you, Kelly, I want to 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:26.920 hear something nice about to Groam because I didn't think 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.280 I thought you were going to move past it. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.400 So I appreciate that you did. You did very absolutely. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.040 I mean, he's amazing to watch out there, right, I 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:35.440 just don't want him in fantasy. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.800 Yep, Okay, I still want him. But yeah, that's the thing. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:39.880 Orioles have selected. 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.040 The contract of top prospect. Arguably in the conversation. If 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:47.560 you go over to like the more traditionalist of prospect evaluators, 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.320 Francisco Alvarez might be there because he's a catcher. Some 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.159 outlets have Gunnar Henderson and some have Corman Carroll, so 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.520 he's in that argument. Uh, Gunner Henderson has been called 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.719 up by the Orioles one day before. He would not 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.680 be eligible to make the playoffs. So rosters are going 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.880 to expand to twenty eight tomorrow and he is getting 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.440 the call up and he will now be eligible. The 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.239 twenty one year old hitting almost three hundred in the miners, 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.640 nineteen homers, twenty two stolen bases between double A and 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.440 triple A. He was playing a little bit of second 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.240 base to play shortstop. I think a lot of evaluators 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.440 have kind of assumed he was going to be a 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.360 future third baseman as well. There's just a lot of 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.960 flexibility that's given. And we've kind of completed the the 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.359 I don't know if it's a triad because who is 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.080 the so maybe it's just the duo of Corby Carroll 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.960 and Gunner Henderson. Francisco Walvarez I think completes the triad 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.000 of guys. But he's hurt and may miss the rest 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.559 of the season, so we are going to get Gunner 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.400 Henderson for the rest of this year, and I hope 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.120 I don't know about you, Kelly, I hope it takes 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.240 the same trajectory as Corbyn Carroll in that the team says, 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.520 we don't have him here just to have fun. He 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.280 is here to play every single day. That's the hope 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:54.599 we're going to see with Gunner Henderson. 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:56.120 I would hope. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.800 So, I mean, I think he is ready and they 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.520 could use the help. I mean again, every time I 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.000 look at the standings and there are three games out 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.480 of the wildcard and I'm just like, how are they 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:04.320 still hanging around? 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.320 And maybe he could be just the infusion of energy. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.720 And again that the positional flexibility because I saw the 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.800 second base and a lot of third base, and if 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.080 he retains all of that for next year, then he's 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.720 you know, that's gonna be an important part as well. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.720 And it'll be like the legend, the legend of Gunner Henderson. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.440 If he can come in and he can bring any 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.960 war to this team and bring any extra wins and 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.760 get them to the playoffs, he's gonna. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.360 Live an infamy. I mean, it is gonna be a 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:31.840 huge thing. 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.040 So here's my question, then, who would you rather have 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.280 rest of season Gunner Henderson or Corving Carroll. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.240 You got take care of Carroll? Oh yes, yes, yeah. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.480 Should we talk about Corbick Carroll here because I've got 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.280 some stuff here in just a tiny bit if you're ready. 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.480 Is there anything I could say that would deter you 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.240 from that? Nope, not a single can't talk and I 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:49.920 think we should do that. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.280 You can't talk about any of that stuff because that's 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:53.960 a baller and I've got some stuff here here in 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:54.400 a little bit. 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.880 But I would say, just like the Corba Carroll stuff, 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.240 go pick up gun Henderson. There's no reason plenty of leagues, I. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:00.880 Know plenty of you are gonna be like it's a 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.400 emerginal league without who Gunnerson's available? Like okay, well they 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:05.960 don't pick him up because he's not available, But if 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.280 he is, go and pick him up because it's gonna 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.520 be a great asset for the final few months. He's 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.480 got power, He's got a great swing, hitting around three 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:13.640 hundred across two levels. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.640 Also can be a source of stolen bases, which. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.400 That team is almost becoming like the couple of years 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.640 ago Royals, where it's just like every guy in that 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.240 lineup has an opportunity to steal some bases and Gunner 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:25.400 would be one of those guys. 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:26.800 Also, no big deal. 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.200 But Aaron Judge when three for five hit a three 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.000 run bomb his fifty first of the year, I guess 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.199 there's still one more day that's in there. But we 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.560 were doing the whole like fifty homers before September type 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.000 of thing, and he just moved up that list and 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:41.560 I did see and we're not gonna do it. But 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.040 just a lot of extended chatter online after the fifty 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:50.160 first homer between the whole like real homer thing, Roger. 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.440 Marris and you know, the award. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:53.960 It seems like it's gonna be a lot of controversy 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.400 around this Judge thing, but maybe not the controversy that 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.480 we're used to in that Like, I think you will 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.840 have the defense of Shoo Tani, which I still think 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.640 of this day as great as judges or Tanis MVP. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.599 You're gonna have that, and then you're also going to 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.920 have the real home run record if he passes Merris, 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.319 and that argument is really going to actually be pretty 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.320 intolerable in my eyes. I don't know about you, Kelly, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:14.400 I don't know how you feel about that. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.640 Yeah, I mean I think it's you know, my thing 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.480 with the steroid era is it was an era. They 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.800 didn't police it. They I think they wanted it after 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.839 the strike. And I am really firmly in the it's 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.080 been twenty years, let's get over it. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.160 Mindset on that. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.840 And that is the one thing about the Judge home 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.840 run chase, because I would love for him to catch 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.240 it break the American League record, but I don't want to. 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.679 I just don't want the think pieces that will come 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:38.040 out of that. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.400 All day every day we saw John Hyman. 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.560 John Hayman was like, you know, once he passes Marius, 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.199 this will be the record because of all those steroids. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.840 And it was just like, come on, man, like even Judge, 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.280 even baseball players, I think we should like take some 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.880 cues from actual baseball players. And how many baseball players 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.320 have you ever heard disavow the steroid era is not 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.200 counting for the most part, unless maybe they're like, you know, 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.720 retired and they're on a talk show or something like that. 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.600 But guys in game, it's like, no, this is the guy. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.880 And Judge even acknowledged it. So by the way, JP says, 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.920 drop mayorfield for Gunner yep. 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.920 Yes, just like the quarter day, every day, all day, 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.000 every day. Some injuries. 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.559 Ronald Cooney remained out for the third straight game Tuesday 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.160 with lingering soreness. 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.720 In the right knee. I do not like that at all. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.960 Wilson Gatrois left Tuesday's game with left ankle foot soreness. 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:27.720 I believe it was running to first base and he 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.160 just kind of gave up, and we'll see where that goes. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.720 Joran Alvarez Jordan Alvarez remains out of the lineup due 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.400 to it lingered discomfort in both hands. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:35.400 We talked about that. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:40.199 There's nothing to like do about that, but the wrist 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.520 and hands stuff really has a worry for kind of 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.319 zapped power moving forward. The best thing I think you 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.640 could possibly do is if you have any viable bench options. 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.920 I don't know, like maybe even just obviously, like if 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.679 you're not playing, you're gonna put someone else in there. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.960 But I just don't know how impactful Dordon's gonna be 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:58.360 on the rest of this year. 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.719 Kelly, Yeah, I don't either, and I you know, he's 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:08.160 kind of in that dreaded the DD situation, and with 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.600 Houston as far ahead as there, they don't have to 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.480 really do anything with him. So in fantasyland, it's like 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.600 you can't drop him, because it's like you can drop him, 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.960 someone will pick him up and he'll go on a tear. 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:19.800 But yeah, he's going to take up a bench that 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.600 for a while. So yeah, I don't know. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.160 It'd be nice if he can, like you know, get 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.960 a gun or Henderson maybe and have that replacement. Dylan 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.880 Marris placed on the tinda I l with an oblique issue, 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.319 and Kate Cavali after he just came up, was placed 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.240 on the fifteen day with right shoulder inflammation. 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:35.960 That should end his season. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:37.800 That should be done. Maybe he'll be in the arson 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.199 A Fall League. But I cannot imagine we're going to 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.000 see any more of him. So here are my fun 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.960 facts last night. Maybe heard of this guy, maybe I've 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.439 talked about him before. Corbyn Carroll, you've heard of him, right, 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.520 we've mentioned him just a little bit, ye, just a 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.400 little bit. And one prospect in baseball from my team, 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.520 Corbyn Carroll hit a ball last night with an IVY 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.640 of just around one hundred and five a twenty six 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:01.400 degree launch angle. Would they project a distance of four 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:06.160 hundred and thirty nine feet and according to what a 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.880 great account would it, Dong, this would have been a 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:14.080 home run in twenty nine of thirty MLB parks. Only 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.600 Chase Field is the place that could have held this, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.680 and I think they might have. I might have even 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.520 read that this was like a record ball in the 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.959 statcast era of the furthest ball not becoming a home run, 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.640 four hundred and thirty nine feet not becoming a home run, 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.960 and twenty nine of thirty parks, Corbyn Carroll's bomb would 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.800 have been a home run, except, of course, in his 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:34.439 home ball park. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.560 Kelly, Yeah, that's usually how that goes, right. 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.360 I mean, that would have left Yankee Stadium and maybe 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.760 hit Shay, But in Arizona it's nothing, so I don't know. 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:48.320 Also, Corvin Caroll's five RBIs this is according to slang 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.520 on Sports for Sarah Lanks, Corvin Kells's five rbies in 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.520 his first two games are the most by any diamondback 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.959 player in the first two career games. He's also registered 0:12:55.360 --> 0:13:00.400 it's amazing five separate thirty plus feet per second sprint 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.320 speeds on the base paths, which is elite of elite, 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.400 And I was I talked about this in a couple 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.640 places in that first at bat he had where he 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.200 kind of hit into the ground and it popped up. 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.240 I don't recall seeing someone as fast as him go 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.520 to the line. He almost beat out another one of 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.640 those and was within I mean, we were talking that 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.640 much of beating out another one of those five instances 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.480 of elite sprint speed. He's already shown. He has shown 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.640 a four hundred and forty foot bomb and he's shown 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.440 elite sprint speeds. There's some stuff to be excited about 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:31.880 with Corbyn. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:32.520 Carrol Kelly. 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.240 Yeah, one hundred percent the amount that he can with 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.720 the power in the speed cambo. If he is anywhere, 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.439 redirect League whatever, pick him up. Yeah, he shouldn't be 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:42.120 sitting anywhere. 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.599 And I think he already moved up the lineup. You 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.439 gotta forgive me him. I think he moved to six. 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.440 He was eight in his first game. He was to six, 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.240 and I think he's just going to continue moving up. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.760 He just gets on baits, he makes things happen. There's power, speed, 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:58.160 something to get excited about. Another thing that I thought 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.200 was interesting was he was talking about his favorite players. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:06.040 He is a Washington native and he was talking about 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.000 his favorite player, which was each chi Ro. He said, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.960 each Row is his favorite player of all time. And 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.120 then the broadcast of getting to know him, he said 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:16.200 something that gave me a pause, and he said, he's like, oh, 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.040 I like Ken Griffy Junior too. He's a little before 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.800 my time. And I was like, oh yeah, we're at 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.000 that point. Oh yeah, And it comes to a good 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:25.640 interesting thing of this day in baseball. 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.240 In nineteen ninety the. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.480 Ken Griffies, Griffy Junior was in centerfield and Ken was 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.800 Senior was in left field, becoming the first father and 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.520 son combination of Major League history to play his teammates, 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.480 and they each went one for four in Seattle's five 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.880 to two win over the Royals. The Manners had signed 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.640 the elder Griffy after he was waived by the Reds. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.040 But Corbyn Carroll doesn't know anything about that. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.200 He hasn't anything about that. Now. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.680 Did you ever watch like the old like nineteen sixties 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:54.120 home run Derby on ESPN, like the reruns. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.640 In black and many Definitely when I was younger, and 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.040 like that was the only thing to go. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:59.280 You would just like leave it on. 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.720 ESPN and you get the old football turn turn and 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.600 then you get the old baseball stuff, but I don't recall. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.440 Okay, yeah, so I would do that watch like Mantlin 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.960 Marris and I'm just thinking that for Carol that was 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.680 Griffy so oh. 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.680 Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, there you go. 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.160 Uh here's a trivia question for you, and I left 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.560 it off the table, so Kelly can try to answer this. 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.880 All this talk of Roger Merrison the home run record. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.040 Which team gave up the most home runs to Roger 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.320 Marris when he hit sixty one homers in nineteen sixty one, 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:34.040 and which one allowed the fewest, So the most and 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.800 the fewest of any team in his sixty one homer 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.160 can even possibly take a guess. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:39.960 I will give you the numbers. 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.400 By the way, the most was thirteen homers, the least 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.960 was three, so just think about that, by the way, 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.640 and the production he put up. The least he hit 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.600 against a team was three, which is an incredible number, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:53.840 and the most was thirteen. 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.360 And he guesses it's kind of a tough one. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:57.920 Yeah. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.720 I want to say, I mean, Boston just hopped into 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:04.000 my head in terms of the least, but I don't. 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:04.680 It's good. 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:06.680 I will give you a little hint it wasn't at 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:13.360 least was in the division. Okay, hmmmmm, you're incorrect. I 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:17.640 have correct, no idea incorrect this. Oh wait a minute, 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:23.320 hold on, mmm, so this is one of these? Is correct? 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:24.800 In go cards? Oh wait? 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.560 And if you're saying Red Sox, well I just ruined it. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.640 The most was by the White Sox because you wrote socks, 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.800 but you probably meant Red Sox. The most was by 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:36.920 the White Sox, the least right there by the Baltimore 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.200 Baltimore was the least with three thirteen. 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.400 Homers with the Chicago White Sox. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.480 All this Roger Marris stuff is out there and ruminating 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:45.560 in our brains, and there you go. 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.120 Now you know who the most? Right now? 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:48.920
