And speaking of being special, Mike 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.440 Mayer pointed out to me, there's some guy in Philadelphia 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.599 trying to do a daily show about the Phillies called 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.920 Leading Off. Do you think we should sue? Should we 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.760 get our lawyers wow on the phone right now? Maybe? Yeah. 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.680 That reminds me of our friend Casey Bubba where he's 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.160 had this show for like five years with Bubba and 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.720 then there was somebody on a network that it was 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.399 Benched with Brianna or whatever it was called or something 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.520 like that, and it was like infringement again. 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:11.240 I remember that. 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.720 Yeah, maybe maybe we got to have a little call, 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.600 like a season desist, but I'm not surprised. It's a 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.480 pretty it's a pretty good name. It's pretty good name, 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:20.920 and that's why other people are gonna want it. 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.240 Look at this, Look at this, the support here. It's 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.720 JP's birthday in the chat, JP thirty four. He's always 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.720 with the show almost every day. He hangs out on 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.240 stages with us on Discord. Happy birthday, Jp. Look at this, 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.319 and Brian Hayes says we should lawyer up. You can't. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.800 You can't unfortunately sue over a title. Titles? Are you 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.680 know something? You just can't deal it? So what are 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:43.960 you gonna do? 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.640 Maybe not in the podcast world, the podcast world, probably not, 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.920 But you're not gonna see like the same TV shows 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:49.400 or something. 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.800 Sorry, everybody knows the original, you know, and the original 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:54.720 is right here the og leading off. This is what 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.560 you stay for. And let's start with something super fun, 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:04.160 which is the Buckos, Theates sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.800 of Los Angeles and yeah, let me tell you something, Welsh. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.800 I continued to say that they are not invincible. I 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.160 still do not believe they are. I think of the Padres. 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.880 Get aggressive, get to tease back, get some more offense, 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.680 in that lineup along with that pitching, they can really 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.440 hand them their lunch potentially. So what do you make 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.240 of this? I know it's kind of just fun and 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.400 these things happen in baseball and it's only June and 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.840 all the platitudes, But but what do you think about 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.919 this here with the Dodgers. Do you think the Dodgers, 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.799 you know, have a little soul searching to do here 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.040 if you get swept at home by the Pirates. 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.839 Yeah, of course, any team, even the Diamondback, any any 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.359 team that just got swept by the Pirates would absolutely 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.480 have to do that. That was a pretty brutal one 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.760 because there was this like moment, especially if you enjoy 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.079 gambling at all, where it was like they got it. 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.160 They can't get swept right, Like this last game was 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.200 like you got about the Dodgers, right, They're going to 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.440 be able to pull this out. I think it's an anomaly, 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.280 to be honest with you, Like it's fun, it's fun 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.399 to watch the Dodgers. Who doesn't have a great time 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.240 watching the Dodgers lose, especially to the Pirates. The only 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.000 thing gonna better is like the Orioles coming in and 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.160 beating them, or the Reds or something like that. But 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.600 I still think it's an anomaly, like you, Like you said, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.520 kind of the soul searching that's going on that offense 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.919 is still phenomenal. You know, the cogs that are bringing 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.280 them down are having to have like Chris Taylor's struggle 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.360 and honestly Cody Bellinger. At this point, the rotation's going 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.280 to get better. They're going to make moves of be aggressive. 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.519 This team will be fine. But it was an absolute anomaly. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:32.160 And to see the Pirates sweeping the Dodgers, I would 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.079 have never guessed it. I would in a million years. 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.760 I would have never guessed this team that is anchored 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.280 by Mookie Pets, Freddy Freeman, Trey Turner is going to 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.840 get swept by the likes of JT. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:43.760 Brubaker. 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:44.600 It's amazing. 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.400 Also, by the way, my cousin Donnie C is going 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.320 to make a couple of calls by the way, regarding 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.560 leading off just so you know. Now, those calls I 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.480 don't think are to a legal department. They might be 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.160 to other relatives of ours, just putting that out there. 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.880 Did you know I got a call from yesterday too? 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:01.880 I did? You did? 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:02.600 I missed it? 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.080 And I didn't get to get back to ye busy day. 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.240 But I might be getting called up to the big 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:09.120 softball show. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.440 Oh are you, oh baby? But I don't pictures of that. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.560 Send me some picks of that. I want to see. Well, 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.880 she on the field all right. Brandon Rodgers hits three. 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.960 Has a three homer game versus the Marlins yesterday, so 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.479 it's great to see him really having a nice May 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.640 into June after having a terrible start of the season. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.520 John Gray twelve strikeouts against the Rays. He got the 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.200 non decision. But you know, I did a little homework 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.720 on John Gray this morning. I just recorded the video 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.280 for the waiverre pickups. He is still available in more 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.360 than fifty percent of leagues, and I still think he's rosterable. 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.000 I still think you take a shot on John Gray, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.720 you stick him on your bench and see if he's 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.479 figuring it out, or you play your matchups carefully because 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.320 you can't have enough pitching. And John Gray's stopping and 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:51.880 starting to the rhythm of the season. I think it 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.520 was a COVID thing in there. He had another injury issue. 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.400 He hasn't really gotten into a rhythm, and despite all that, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.800 he's still got a pretty decent hit per nine. The 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.920 K per nine is above nine. I still think there's 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.520 a lot of reason to believe in John Gray. Are 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.160 you a believer in adding him to a roster again? 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.880 Fifty percent wash. That seems like you're kind of crazy 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.159 the he's available in that many leagues. 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.320 He was like one of the guys that like was 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.440 an ITL guy, Like in the preseason we were drafting him. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.279 Obviously you can move, you know, in and out. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.480 With him of anything, but he was one of those 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.800 guys where take him out of Colorado, put him in Texas, 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.240 let's see we might have reaped results. What's hilariously funny, though, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.280 is check this out. Last year in Colorado nine four 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.159 eight k per nine, this year nine six six. Last 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.400 year in Colorado three point five walk per nine, this 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.680 year three point two nine, an over one homer per nine. 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.880 Both years a four five nine ERA, last year a 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.800 four eight three ERA. But what he does, and this 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.800 is maybe the effects you see his era to x 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.480 FIP last year was four five nine to four oh four. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.000 It's a little bit better this. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.000 Year over a full run for eight three ERA in 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.640 Texas three five one x fitit so a lot of 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.960 the metrics are still the same. Left on base percentages 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.360 around the same ground ball rates actually gotten a little 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.480 bit worse, but he's getting the ball less than the air. 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.480 I thought there would be bigger results coming out of Colorado. 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.120 They're not necessarily, but simply being out of Colorado and 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:20.040 having the same repertoire, he's just gonna have better result. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.600 The x FIP is better, the era or theory can 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.960 be better. So he's a guy that you hold on to. 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.039 If there's great streaming options out there, I think you 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.000 can kind of like burn and churn him. But he 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:32.839 would be a guy that I would be placing on 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.760 the back end of my bench and trying to hold 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.640 on to for at least the next month to see 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.000 what comes through. 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.760 I am in agreement on that. Tour Schooble seven squirrel sittings? 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.920 What else is new? Tory Schooble, the ace of the 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.200 Detroit Tigers. Justin Verlander was flirting with a no hitter 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.320 for six hittings, where the seventh hitting things unraveled, made 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.680 a bad pitch to Bett in court and that was 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.160 all she wrote. So what looked like another dominant outing 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.240 unfortunately ended in a no decision for him, but Jordan 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.279 Alva has ended up saving his bacon. The Yankees and 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.400 Angels got rained out yesterday, but they're going to have 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.080 a makeup game today. Got the double dip going, You're 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.920 gonna have Cortes, You're gonna have Otani, lots of fun stuff, 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.680 and and the Nationals called up Luis Garcia, also Welsh. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.760 Just on the injury front of things too, Grayson Rodriguez 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.400 diagnosed with lat discomfort. The lat injuries are very tricky. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.560 Was it Syindegard a couple of years ago? Right, he 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.520 had the lat injury and they end up missing most 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.040 of the season. This is a little scary right now. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.640 There's some injuries that, you know, freak me out more 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.280 than others. What are your thoughts right now on the 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.760 Grayson Rodriguez lat discomfort that was reported yesterday. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.640 It's not great, Bob, not great Bob, Max Mayer going 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.119 down with an il, Grason Rodriguez going down. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.280 The two Well, Mayor's supposed to be Mayor's throwing from 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.080 Max not Mayor. Let's never call him Mayory. Yeah yeah, yeah, 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.560 man never uves that name on the show. 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.480 But my point is is like two of the top 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.640 pitching prospects going down with injuries kind of on the 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.320 precipice of when they would be called up. I'm not 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.480 super excited about it. I never thought necessarily the orders 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.960 would be hyper aggressive. But with Adlee up, it did 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.200 feel like this was the time, like mid June, late June, 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.880 get him up, work with a guy he's known. I 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.680 think it's kid gloves if this could be a lot worse. 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.760 The one thing I'm actually surprised it's not in this 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.160 open I know it is in the stat heroes, is 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:23.120 that Edward Cabrera's out there. If you're looking for alternatives, 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:24.720 this was a guy you should have been looking at. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.800 He was no hitting yesterday through six, only gave up 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.600 one hit, struck out nine. He's not like classic rookie 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.720 like Grayson would have been because he's been up, but 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.880 he's been out for quite a while and was hitting 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.440 a change up at ninety four yesterday. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.000 Just absurd stuff he was doing. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.600 So if you were banking on Grayson Rodriguez, I would 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.800 immediately and I'd be comfortable with the rest of season. 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.400 Just put him to the side, because this could set 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.440 you back even further. Now, maybe you're looking at mid 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.079 July or something like that. Edward Cabrera might be a 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:00.000 fantastic placeholder to Rock maybe for the rest of the season, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.760 because he looked incredible. 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:08.080 Yeah. Look, according to what Mike Mayer says that Grace 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.240 Rodriguez haz downplayed the injury as just a cramp. So 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.880 we'll wing to see what happens. So let's just be 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.960 prepared for the worst and see what happens. And looking 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.960 around the injury landscape, to Kuri, Kimbrel was unavailable while 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.080 fixing his mechanics, and his mechanics are fixing his car, 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.800 so lots of things are going on. Hinjin Ryu left 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.320 with four armed tightness. Ryu is forget it. Like the 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.840 Blue Jays need to go get Martine Perez, they need 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.600 to go get Momtas, they need to go get somebody 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.480 and Tyler Naquin ends up on the il with a 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.439 quad and whenever you know, injuries strike Welsh. I always 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.400 think the best thing to do is to take a 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.679 deep breath, go out to the grill and make some steaks, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.480 and Almaha Steaks is the perfect place to do that. 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.319 Go to Almaha Steaks dot com right now, use that 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.000 promo code leading off and you can get the dads 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.280 want steak package. I want steak. You want steak, well, 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.040 maybe not you. Everybody wants the steak.

Now, Welsh, I want to talk 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.640 about this. I want to talk about the Toronto Blue 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.080 Jays again, but this time we'll say something positive. Let's 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:09.199 talk about Danny Jansen and let's talk about what he's 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:13.160 doing right now. Seven home rows in six games, incredible 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.320 power trend. They're getting a lot of productivity from that 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.440 catcher spot, which they are because they've missed some productivity 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:23.160 from Vlad from Ti. Oscar Simeon's gone. So what do 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.360 you make of the Danny Jansen renaissance we're getting here? 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.360 I don't, I mean, I don't make anything insane about it, 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.960 but I will say, I mean, they're getting like all 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.680 star catcher out of Alejandro Kirk and Danny Jansen right now. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.040 It's incredible productivity and that's what this team needs. I mean, 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.720 you didn't Eve Menantion Tasker, Hernandez struggling. You said Vlad, 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.040 you said Bishett Springer's been fine. You know, it's just 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.320 been the most mediocre offense, which I kind of think 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.720 is maybe like contagious around outside of the catcher position. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.320 You know, those guys have been able to hold up. 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.520 This what this team needs. But catching, in my mind, 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.800 is meant for streaming, especially in smaller leagues. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:04.199 If you can go and. 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.600 Get the elite guy at a discount, great, If you 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.280 could have got Dalton var Show, you get the stolen bases, 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:11.959 you get a catcher that plays another position. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:12.960 Great. 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.440 But otherwise I'm not paying up, never paying up for 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.160 guys like YASMANI grand all blah. I didn't like to 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:20.280 necessarily pay up for j. 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.400 T Romuto. Salvey was too. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.280 If you can get them at great discounts, it's awesome. 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.719 If not, you play this game, because go and look 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:28.920 and see how this works out. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:36.480 It's a good one. Yes, coming off there all the 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.120 guys from Toronto, like, you've got a lot of Usually, 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.000 catcher's not a spot where you get guts off the 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.720 waiver wire and you're like, wow, look at Ketcher being bountiful. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.040 Ketcher's been bountifully good this year. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.080 A league which is the league yesterday I was going 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.320 through and will Contrast was on. It was two days ago, 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.680 was available, and I was shocked. I didn't even know 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.520 how I missed him, and I immediately picked him up. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.280 Even though he's not necessarily full time guy. Two doubles yesterday, 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.600 he's closing in on double digit homers. 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:04.319 He's phenomenal. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.400 That's the type of stuff that you can go out 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.040 there and find and you actually open yourself up sometimes too, 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:11.719 you know, if you were I've always. 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:12.840 Wanted to do this, I've never really done this. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.760 Go and you know, draft your catcher, or monitor where 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.480 someone drafted a catcher, and then go and monitor what 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.560 you get productive productivity out of a catcher throughout the 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:27.199 season and see what level that catcher of you streaming 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.800 would have produced. Would it have been catcher one or 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.040 catch you'd be surprised. It probably would be a top 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.960 three catcher in your league if you stream them correctly. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.440 And Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk both big options. Jansen would 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.160 have been someone if I'm playing that game, that would 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:43.640 have been at top of the list, and you write 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.840 him until they start falling off and Kirk starts taking 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:47.880 over and go somewhere else. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.440 All right, Let's move on to the next bit of 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.520 news here, and that is something Mike Mayer wanted me 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.880 to talk about. So I kind of have to got 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.200 to keep him happy. Actually this has some merit, which 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.520 is he did a piece on fantasypros dot com which 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.679 you can look at all about, which is Fantasy Baseball 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.920 season to date points leaders. But he's using the Yahoo points, 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:12.960 which are bananas. So let's play a game. Name the 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.240 guys who are at the top ten in Yahoo points. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:16.760 Let's see if you can get how many out of 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:17.280 ten you can get? 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.960 Okay, So I clicked on it and I saw the 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.080 first two, but I didn't see anybody else. 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.600 But it's pretty easy. It's Aaron Judge and Mookie bets Are. 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.800 That's pretty easy. Okay. So Judge and bets are two. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:29.640 Name some other guys you think you're in the top 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:34.320 ten of Yahoo points. Peter Alonzo, Peter Alonzo's number three, okay, 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.320 his teammate. You might want to throw in there too. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:41.800 Yeah, okay, franky, but this is going to be tough, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:42.840 especially with the weirdness. 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.560 Is Sandie Contra No? 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.400 No, Okay, then I don't know if there's going to 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.600 be any Shae McClanahan gotta be no. 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:53.800 I think this is just a hitter list from well, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:54.800 this is just a hitter list. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.640 Okay, yes, how. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.360 Oh no, it's not just the hitter list. Holy crap. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.280 Shane McClanahan is forty third. 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.560 Oh god, I mean that goes again. 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.040 That goes against everything that we want to sell people 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.240 that you got to get your pictures, bro. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.280 This is why in the Black Book I put out 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.640 every year, here's a good point system to use. Use 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.680 this point system. It's fair. It values hitters and pictures 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.880 the same. At the end of the day, the elite 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.720 guys are the elite guys. It's all about how you 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:24.360 want to Just. 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.040 By the way everybody hand went ahead the head you went, 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:29.400 I can't do this. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.000 I can't. I can't. Okay, So here's the other Do 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.680 you want to take another couple of cracks. It's in 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:35.600 the top ten guys. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:42.520 Okay, you've got judge for Alonzo and frankielndorraz closer. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:43.520 Ramirez has to be. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.480 He's not what. I don't know how, but he is not. 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.560 He is seventeenth what he's at two hundred and eighty three. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.880 I don't know how. I don't know why. This is 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.800 straight off of Yahoo straight. Here are the other names. 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:58.120 C J. 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:03.600 Crown has is fourth of course. Story it's six, Patrick 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.840 Wisdom is seventh, Paul Goldsmith is eighth, Mike Trout is nine, 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.440 and Kyle Schwarber has two hundred and ninety four points 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.120 at ten. I don't know how this is true or 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.880 how this could be. I don't know why Yahoo went 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:17.840 and got drunk and created a point system. I can 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.200 only assume it doesn't take minuses for strikeouts into account. 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.080 I can only assume I'm totally not going to use 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.320 this list as a reason why I don't. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.640 It's tout points leagues as much as possible. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.440 I'm totally not going to make this all a big 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.920 point that in this points league Patrick Wisdom is more 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:34.520 valuable than Paul Goldschmid. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.840 That's cool, well, but but this is why points leagues 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.400 get a bad rap when you don't pay attention to 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:45.040 what it's supposed to be in terms of valuing things 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.320 the same. Now, you don't want to be completely crazy 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.200 either where all the pitchers are completely dominating all the hitters. Either. 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.600 You want to create like my system is minus point 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.960 five for strikeouts, so it's not crushing because you can't 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:57.720 you do minus one. Nobody's ever going to get a 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.760 point now because everybody strikes out too much. But you 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:00.840 gotta docu something. 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.800 This is twenty five points per home run? 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.960 Is that? What this is? What the hell it is? 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.040 I don't know what it is, but Mike Mayer found it. 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:08.800 He wanted us to talk about it, so we talked 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:09.600 about it. There you go. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:12.800 Yeah, I want to point out this is amazing. 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:18.400 Johnnio Suarez and Yahoo is more valuable than Jose Ramirez. 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:21.000 I can't curse here, but get out of here. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.120 I don't even know how that's physically possible. 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.080 I'm about to walk off this show. I'm about to 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.520 walk up. Didn't did Mayor do this on purpose? I'm 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.320 about to walk off the show. Yo, Henniel Suarez over 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:32.720 Jose Ramirez. 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.040 It's first ever lead off walk off. 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.320 There you go, Yeah, the walk walk that's gonna be 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:37.920 my episode. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.359 Well she's gonna have it all right.

Could be an all time great guy, 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:32.800 could be a not so great guy.
