But 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.080 if you can't watch us live on Twitch you just 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:29.880 don't have the time, or if this is a bad 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.600 time for you, don't fret. Don't worry, baby, Everything's gonna 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.120 be all right. You can watch us on the YouTube 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:40.640 channel and we are dangerously close to twenty five thousand subscribers, 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:45.040 which is very exciting because that means, dude, that's right, 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.400 Mario and Luigi will be Monday if we can get 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.040 over twenty five thousand. We are so close right now, Welsh, 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:51.880 so close. We're like one brick away. 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.279 Uh yeah, we're definitely like I don't know if it's 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.800 a brick, but it's probably like one mushroom. You know. 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:58.760 We have to go down the one tunnel and then 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.520 we can get a couple of gold coin. We're very 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.240 very close Mario and Luigi. What everybody's always asked for. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.119 I gotta be honest with you, I don't know how 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.640 we do a show. Is that? What's the theme? We 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.800 can't be like, oh, you know, hey, it's a show, 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.640 ha Tani, and we can't do the voices the whole show. 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.360 So I don't know what the what we'll roll. 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.440 I just I think we do the show straight and 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.319 just don't acknowledge the fact that that's what we're wearing. That. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.440 I think that's I think that's the bit. That's just 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.960 that we never acknowledge it. It's just a regular show, 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.280 that's what it is. But we've got a lot to 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:30.080 get into today. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.360 Turtles across us and stuff. 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.800 Yeah, Turtle's flying across special effects. That's gonna be great. 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.840 But just like there was a you know, return after 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.360 Super Mario Brothers, the first one you had, of course 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.080 Super Mario two, it's Joe Pizapia two. Because show Hao 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.320 Tani hit a home run yesterday. I'm back baby. I'm 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.400 finally got my number one home run. It's just a 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.000 matter of time now. So I gave everybody that we 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.040 could start just like I always do and now I'm 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.600 coming for you. Uh so, I guess here's the only question. 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.480 Are the Dodger's gonna go on a hundred sixty two? 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.640 Oh Welsh, because that's what it feels like they might. 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.960 But I just want to point out, like Gallon strikes 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.239 out thirteen, we have all these great stories. Joe makes 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.000 it about himself the start of the show. Everybody I 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.040 got am I not that he walked the game. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:17.040 Off. 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.200 It's about Joe getting on the board the most the 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.720 most MEMI me of all time. I'm very happy for you. Yep, 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.480 light it up. There you go, you you guessed show. 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.960 Hey Otani for a homer what a bold called? Joe? 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.160 Glad you're on the board. Hopefully Cali leaves you off 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.880 on every single week like they left me off last 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.680 week and not giving you proper. 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.040 That's gonna be the worst, right. I don't know if 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:41.680 you're gonna make the board today. We'll have to wait 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.160 and see. Oh but yees shoey Otani got a home run. Also, 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.960 Raphael Devers got a hit. Hooray two for four with 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.680 a double yesterday. Now he did go over twenty one 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.160 first so that was you asked my. 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.400 Question, called it and he's like, who, what's gonna happen? 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.440 First he said, Devers is gonna get a hit, and 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.440 it was nice to see. Maybe it's gonna boy over 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.520 a little bit. Everybody on his case, but just need 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.600 a little bit to go his way. He's a great, 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.480 great hitter. I'm still a little bit in the by territory. 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.079 But I know you're not. I know you still hate him. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.200 I don't hate him. I am just concerned. Two hits 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.519 does not assuage my concerns. And if you don't know 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.200 what that means, look it up. Learn a word today. Also, 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.240 the Red Sox continue to throw money around because Christian 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.840 Campbell got paid. That's right, eight years, sixty million dollars 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.400 for Christian Campbell. We actually have a live look of 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.079 him receiving this money. We can show you that really quick. Here. 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.120 So Christian Campbell. Another extension, crouchet gun extension. Here's Christian 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.800 Campbell with all of his money right here. Let's see 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.960 if we can get that up there. Michael Kelly, where's 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.640 Christian Campbell? Oh? No, you know what happened. He was 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.400 ordering a breakfast burrito and he said at the top 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.520 of the show, I might have to go run out 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.240 and get my breakfast burrito. Oh, he must be back 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.160 for the breakfast burrito. There it is, there's Christian Campbell 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.600 got his pile of money. Thank you AI for giving 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:56.680 this wonderful image. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.720 What is that supposed to be? That looks like something 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.240 from Mario Like he's sitting on a. 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.160 Money does it's like a Mario Kart money cart. Yeah? 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.280 I don't like that one. Actually, I really don't like that. 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.720 And the money too does. It doesn't sit well with me. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.920 Look at how the mine doesn't. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:12.800 I'll take all that money. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.240 Why does he look like he played in nineteen thirty two? 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.520 I know it's very nineteen sixty four. It's very nineteen 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.120 sixty four Red Sox. I don't know why, but this 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.479 AI was very much like this today. So it's like 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.120 he I guess Carl Yastremsky and he are going to 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:26.680 be teammates. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.080 By way, again, just point out by the East Coast 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.120 biases that you're doing. You're talking about Christian Campbe, which 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.280 is a day older. I started the show with Otani. 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.200 How about could tell Mark, well, yeah that you hit 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:38.680 a homer. You didn't even mention that. 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.080 Tawi hit a home run for me, he walked the 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.359 game off, and you're like, I'm on the board, but 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:45.040 you're not even mentioned. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.640 Could tell. Mark Tate got assigned a contract extension with 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.400 the Diamondbacks this year, twice as much money as Christian Campbell. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.800 Could tell, locked up probably for his career with the 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.760 Arizona Diamondbacks's gonna go down as one of the best 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.919 Diamonbacks of all time. And he is locked in with 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.240 Corbyn Carroll for years ago come. But we're talking about 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.600 Christian Campbell and his little little money cart. There's a 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.000 little money It almost looks like an animal, like there's 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.360 like a sheep. Everything that's over. 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.960 Still driving a cart of some kind, that's for sure. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.159 All right, Let's move on to Ivan, the great Ivan 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.240 Herrera three home run, six RBI, my favorite sleeper catcher 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.920 of the year. Very excited. Here's a question here from 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.520 uh Matton. Excuse me, Yeah, Matt on the mound, Yeah Matton, 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:29.679 Matt on the mountain. But the mond on the mound. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.359 Uh Matt on the mound wants to know I or 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.240 Yanire Diaz. It's still Diaz. But I've been heard I 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.040 had a great day. Let's not get crazy here. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:37.720 Uh. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.320 And it is National Burrito Day apparently, so I just 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.799 found that out, which that's inspiring. I do love burritos. 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.160 Burritos are more important than work. 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.200 Do you need a special like I'm a pretty uh, 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.560 I'm a basic on on the burritos. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.640 Just give me just shocking beans. 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.360 And g a little avocado, like on there's some sour cream. 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.159 Do you need like all the differents the carne asada, 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.240 Give me chiso, give me, give me, give me all 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.720 the different burritos, depending on my mood, give me. 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.640 If you'll give me fire, give me that which I desire. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.160 Yeah, I know. But look, great day for Ivan Herrera, 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:09.919 and I think this goes to show you if you 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.839 were in those single catcher leagues. We get talking. Herrera's 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.159 probably somewhere between the twelve and fifteen catcher on the board, 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.240 and he has gotten off to a great start and 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.359 starting to heat up as well. Jordan Walker playing very well, 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.839 Victor Scott looking pretty good. I think it feels like 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.520 the Cardinals are doing a good job here by letting 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.680 the kids play, turning over this organization a little bit, 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.280 and no one or not at some point I think 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.280 will get dealt do you agree or disagree? And I 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.480 think they're gonna continue this overturning of the Cardinals into 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.599 whatever this next generation version is gonna be. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.120 Absolutely. I mean, Sonny Gray is struggling right now. He 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.880 get blasted of it yesterday. I think they're gonna look 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.359 to move him sometime in the season. They'll get Aeronatto 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.080 out and they're gonna let these guys keep keep rolling. 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.119 That was like the big positive thing. I think Jordan 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.719 Walker is starting to come in. I'm feeling good about that. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.560 Large Nubar is another one of those. And Ivan Herrera, 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.839 like I loved his comments after the game where he 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.440 was just like, hey, listen, I took less money to 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.680 be here for the tradition and could have, you know, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.080 gone somewhere else, and like he gets to be the guy. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.680 And there was a question in spring training would Pedro 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.880 Pejas or would it be Ivan Herrera? Would they be 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.080 going a fifty to fifty split. That looks like that 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.520 question has been answered. It is going to be Herrera, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.440 and he's got a legit shot to finish as a 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.000 top ten catcher. But it's not over like cal Riley. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.160 It's not over obviously Yanni your diz. 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:27.720 But maybe he. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.440 Starts to push the territory of the Logan o' hoppies 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.360 or the shee Leangaliers. But very very good. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.200 Maybe yeah, maybe Tyler who does social media for us, 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.520 The batting practice clearly paid off for Devers. Yes, clear. 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.920 If you missed yesterday's show, go back and watch that. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.840 It was very entertaining. We showed you live action Rathfield 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:45.400 Devers batting. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.280 We have a clip of it on Social two which 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.000 I got to watch this morning when I woke up 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.080 and it made me laugh again. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.440 It's very good. It's very good. Nice job by Tyler 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.720 there doing that. All right, let's get to more of 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.760 the headlines because there's a lot to get to. Skien 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.520 struck out six thirteen swings and missus out of one hundred 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.520 two bitches. This off the sheet, but Welsh put it 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.440 back on because you really want to talk about skeens 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.000 no decisions. I thought you did. No, I thought I 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:07.560 took this off. 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.080 I added one thing on the sheet, which is my 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.840 little setup for a little bit later. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:13.760 I'm looking forward to that. I like to see. I 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.960 usually surprised Welsh in the show. He's going to surprise 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.520 me today, So I'm excited to see that no decisions 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.280 were a big theme yesterday. Freddie Peralta eight innings for 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.120 the first time. It is twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen. The 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.800 last time he threw eight innings. He was terrific. Eight strikeouts, 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.240 no walks, two HiT's, one run, no decision called Reagans 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.960 ten strikeouts or five innings he got, no decision, gave 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.040 up just one run. So frustrating on one hand, but 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.720 positive in the other. I know, Welsh, when we were 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.880 on the live stream yesterday on the YouTube channel, you 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.640 were having some massive fomo, some real concerns because you 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.079 wanted the cole Reagans overr on strikeouts and you didn't 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.040 take it, and then you watch him drop a ten spot. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.240 Yeah well okay, so but I did say I did 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:58.640 a strikeout parlay, which worked out. I had Reagan's and Crochet. 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.400 But what killed me was I was playing around with 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.920 the ault line on Reagan's and Crochet. You go seven 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.200 and then eight, and they both got to eight. Reagans 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.120 looked really good. That's actually more of the theme I 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:14.680 would throw into yesterday. Outside of no decisions. It was bouncebacks. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.199 Not gonna do it because I know we're going to 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.480 talk about Zach Gallan. Zach Gallon looked phenomenal. Garrett Crochet 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.839 was a little like in that first start. He looked 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.280 absolutely dominant in this one, getting which again Reagan's was back. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.000 He was getting big swing and missus the fastball was going. 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:31.800 There were a lot of pictures in that first start 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.319 that were like, ye, that really really dominated. And then 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.320 the funny thing, a couple guys that dominated in the 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.800 first start came back down to earth a little bit. 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.040 Mackenzie Gore. Yeah, Jeffery springs big time. 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.680 You mean Mackenzie Gore the thirteenth best pitcher in baseball 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:46.319 or wherever he. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.040 Was on Dan Fail Are you okay? So is this 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.000 last start going to be you completely out on McKenzie Gore? 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.559 Now, No, I'm in on Gore where he was, which 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.000 is hey, a guy you can get strikeouts with, who's 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.720 gonna have an era a push wishing four and is 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.040 every now and then going to drop some really good outings. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.199 But I'm not a guy that I'm starting every single 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.680 week without a doubt. I'm not there with McKenzie Gore. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.240 I don't think he's in that ring. Do you think 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.440 he's a must start every week? 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.040 Gore, I'm not okay, I mean must start. 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.319 He's not left in my rotation. I'm looking at the matchup. 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:20.839 I'm trying to figure out and I understand. The first 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.680 start was against the Phillies and he was great, but 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.680 I'm gonna be very careful. Two start weeks, Sure, good matchups. 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.199 Sure he's pitching against the Rockies. Yeah, okay, I'm in. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.200 But you know, I think you gotta still manage him 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:33.040 a little bit, that's all. 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.200 Maybe it was still a fine start. Five innings, he 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.000 struck out five. He only gave up two runs when 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.040 it was all said and done, he gave up a 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.760 ton of contact and a ton of hard hit contact. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.280 Part of the problem, this is the thing to monitor. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.680 What happened was the difference between the two starts. The 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.000 slider went away again. He went fastball, curveball. Slider was 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.080 like twenty percent in the first start. It was down 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.679 to seven percent in this last one. So I you know, 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.280 we got to get back to that. That I think 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:01.480 is going to be the key, and I think he'll 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.199 see more sliders on the other And by the way, 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.320 did nobody like my hair anymore. Be Weezy says Welsh 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.000 needs a hat. We've already told. 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.920 Well, I think they just like the hats you have 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.760 cool hats I had. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.920 I think the dog hat fund again. Go back to 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.520 the hat fund we need at the Welshu on Venmo 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.880 and we will get new hats. But I'm very apologized 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.360 that you have to look at my stupid hair. Could 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:24.960 We'll put a couple of hats in next week. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.199 Springs, by the way, also Springs, you know, not the 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.120 best start yesterday, but he gave up basically one hard 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.040 hit and it was the three run homer to Suzuki. 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.520 He was fine outside of that, so if somebody's panicking 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.280 about him, forget it. Let's talk about some other questions. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:38.559 How do we feel about Zack Gallen the rest of 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.000 the season. I feel pretty good. It's a nice turnaround there, 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.200 So Welsh Gallon much better second start. As you were 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:48.440 mentioning before, h dropper Rangifo or Bladet for Jack Lighter 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.640 with the blister, I don't think I want to do 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.360 either of that right now. If I'm gonna drop one 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.160 of those guys, I think it would be BLA day 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:55.960 where would you be Yeah. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.439 It'd be bladey. Though. There is a really funny video 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.040 that was out there. I saw last night of Bledet 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.080 talking to one of the what is it like Mizuno 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:05.960 or what one of the bat reps, and he was 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:11.040 going through ordering torpedo bats. He specifically ordered torpedo bats 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.600 that he's about to have, So we'll see if that goes. 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.800 But all that aside, I would it would be lighter. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.839 I had somebody ask me yesterday is Jack Lider a 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:19.600 musk grab? And I was like, no, he's not a 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:24.320 musk grab, but he's moving from slight streamer to the 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.480 heavy streamer that you may be hold on to this year. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.280 It's two really good starts. The sliders looked good, the 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.240 fastball looks fantastic. He's finding some command and that's the 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.040 big key, and that's something that you hold on too. 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.319 I know you hate him, nepo, he's the worst thing. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.600 I still think there could be something there. So he 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.360 is borderlining. You should pick him up if you can. 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.440 He's been that. I hope he becomes something else, but 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.200 that's what he is currently up until he has six 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.080 good starts in a row, and then I will remove 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.160 that tag. By the way, this is the best green 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.760 name ever because I love Righteous Gemstones, Baby Billy's Bible Bonker. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.640 I mean, I just watched them latest episode from this week. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.959 It is nuts a season half, but Baby Billy is 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.000 one of the best characters. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.400 So good anyway, favorite burrital place in New York. Now, 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.680 I have a favorite burrito place, but I do have 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.360 a favorite empanada place, Empanada Mama in Hell's Kitchen. There's 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.520 a couple of locations about the Hell's Kitchen, one specifically, 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.760 best sangree you'll ever eat. The Panadum menu is unbelievable. 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.720 Ask Andrew Erickson. Welsh. I took him there in August 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.400 when he came over and hung out for the weekend. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.560 Blew his mind. We had the best time. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.880 We'll do real burritos when you come to Arizona. You 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.080 guys have pizza. We have burritos here. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:37.040 There you go. Some more news to get to closer alert, 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.280 perhaps a new one. Dennis Santana pitched a scoreless ninth 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.160 Bednar sent down. Is Santana the new guy for Saves 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:43.760 in Pittsburgh? 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.920 Welsh, Yeah, it looks like it. That's been a big 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.640 question all around the last couple of days, and then 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.760 we talked about this on the live stream. Bednar sent 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.560 down Holderman is the guy that was actually on roster resource. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.800 I had been telling some people I think it's Santana 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.400 because Holderman blew two saves. He ended up coming in early, 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.440 gave up another earned run. Dennis Santana came in, was 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.920 pretty good fastball hits ninety five, horrible command on it, 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.559 but it was still around the zone. Everyone was eating 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:13.200 on the slider, got two weak pieces of contact, walked 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.040 a guy, and then got to pop out. It was 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.720 a pretty clean inning. Dennis Santana's going to get more 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.720 looks for Pittsburgh because they got to close those things 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.680 down and no one could get over. By the way 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.240 the broadcast, dude was wearing his pants like actually, like 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.600 the Freddy Freeman video. You remember the Freddy Freeman scary 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.080 piece of art that you put up his du He 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.600 wore his pants above his knees, but like almost midway 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.920 through his thighs, and he had like the athletic warmers up. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.680 They go and watch the video if you can't. These 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.280 guys could not stop freaking out about how high Dennis 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.760 Santana's pants were and it's like, dude, he's closing the game, 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.800 let's chill out about the pants if. 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.760 It was a funny moment. The announcers Gary Coda and 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.720 Keith her Nandez and the Mets extra innings yesterday there 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.880 was a hot mic moment and Keith Hernandez goes, well, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.280 that was a piss poor inning. I love it. I 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.120 think right as they were coming back for freak, it 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.720 was just awesome. Like immediately I went to the internet 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:03.840 and there was If. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.280 Anybody watches, I think you should leave. With Tim Robinson, 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.920 the pants thing is very similar to like the tables 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.720 bit where they're like, but what about the tables, He's like, 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.200 stop asking about the tables, Like, that's the pants With 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.600 Dennis Santana, that's my meme. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.240 Are we worried about Clay Holmes. I'm not worried yet, 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.160 but I do want to throw this out there that 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.840 all through spring, Francisco Alvarez was the catcher for these guys, 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.200 and Francisco Alvarez people love throwing to that guy. I'm 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.520 not saying that the other catchers in New York. Actually 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.560 they had performed very well in instead defensively, especially yesterday, 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.120 but I think there is something about working with a 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:41.680 catcher and getting a rhythm and things like that. So 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.320 maybe a little bit of that yesterday. Some weird luck too. 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.840 Potentially they're also Anthony Volpi hit another home run. He's 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.600 got four home runs this season. Uh so there you go. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:57.760 Cheap as diamondback. AJ Puck very important too. You talked 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:02.280 about closers. AJ Puck another save opportunity. It wasn't clean, 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.840 but he came in with guys on and he gave 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.720 up that stupid flyball homer to Volpi. So I think 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.560 people are kind of look at that and be like, eh, 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.720 but that's too safe. Yeah, he has locked those down, 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.520 and I think that is a really good spot. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.840 I saw a really hilarious somebody in my home league 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.120 change their team name. They had profar so now where 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.600 they are profarmance enhancing Drugs. They changed their team too, 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.760 and I thought that was really I like, that's clever. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.600 All right, let's get to the subs for today, because 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.000 I've got a lot of them. Got new subs today, 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.400 got a lot of people coming in. Might be burrito day, 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:34.400 but we care about subs. 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.920 Oh yeah, we do well. Our boy CF Nuniez subscribed 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.960 with Prime the Prime continue want to point out to people, 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.720 really incredible. We've gone over six hundred followers. We've pushed 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.480 a bunch more subs. We had subs while we were 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.760 out yesterday. Mike Wish joined up with using the Prime. 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.320 Lots of you guys can do it. You can hook 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.640 up your Prime account and you can get a free 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.480 sub gets rid of the ads, can get you in 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.200 the home run contest. You're supporting us. We love you 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:00.880 for doing that. Thank you to all the people that 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.640 have followed as well. Laser, I see Steely Steve in 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.720 their braction. Keep doing it. Over six hundred. We're pushing. 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.240 We've got to set a goal to get over one 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.040 hundred subs and we crack the most live viewers we 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.159 have in a single show. What perfect timing than me 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.800 bringing up are one piece leading off one piece set. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:19.760 I got a piece for you. We're gonna be talking 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.760 about the rookie lookie in a second. I want to 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.480 bring up Matt on the mound again. Who to stash 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.520 long term? Kobe Mayo or Kyle Teal? I think you 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.400 see Teal first. I'll take yeah, I kind of he's 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:30.760 got the easier path, right. 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.880 I agree with you. I've said this in my Prospect video, 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.160 Like Teal isn't maybe super popular for a lot of people, 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.840 but he's been mashing. There's no place for Kobe Mayo 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.399
