Today's going to be a day 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.160 where you know, I was gonna have a little tinfoil 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.880 scythe and a little bit of a black hood. But 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.200 I'm not gonna do that yet. I'm not gonna do 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.640 that yet. I'm gonna let things play out when it 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.039 comes to Garrett Cole. But certainly Welsh. It's easy to 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.280 say that last night's performance against the New York Mets 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.080 wasn't great. However, against the Mets an eight career starts, 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.920 he's a six six to four era. I don't know 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.800 why the Mets own Garrett Cole, but apparently they do. 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.120 That's his worst era against any team. It was not 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.160 a great performance. Velocity was down somewhere around ninety one 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.560 ninety three in that range of times. That's when some 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.639 of the home runs that were hit yesterday, and Garret 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.240 Cole said afterwards that, well, he dialed back the velocity 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.640 a little bit because you know, things weren't going well 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.880 and he was trying blah blah blah blah. So what 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.919 do you think about Garrett Cole's performance last night against 0:01:58.960 --> 0:01:59.840 the New York Mets. 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.840 It wasn't quite like I didn't think you were gonna 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.280 grim rape for it, but I definitely which you are 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.520 definitely implying a little bit. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.400 If I told you, sir, I never said that he 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.359 said that, I would say, oh yeah, I said that 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.680 was my idea, not Joe's idea. 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.840 By the way, yes, he said he dialed it back, 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.560 but it wasn't because of like Tasmanian devil. It was 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.919 because he said his command was wavering, so he dialed 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.880 back the velo so he could get into that command 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.839 a little bit more. It wasn't great. It didn't work 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.160 out real great. I will say this, even in the 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.520 overall VLO dip that he had in the latter innings 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.280 where I think it was like the third or fourth inning, 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.079 fastball even went around like ninety one. As he dialed it, 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.960 his fastball VLO overall was still up. So that's kind 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:51.320 of a surpriser there. But he got absolutely no whiffs whatsoever. 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.919 Mets can be kind of a tough strikeout team. There's 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.640 a few of those guys out there that live in 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.079 that like sub twenty percent range. He had a fifteen 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.960 percent whiff rate in it. His fastball and cutter were 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.440 doing nothing, and you can see his slider didn't hit 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.440 the zone fourteen percent zone rate. Everything else was around 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.519 forty percent. I think that's just a little bit lower 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.520 than like his overall space. So to this spot that 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:20.480 we're in right now, is Joe's you should sell off? Correct? 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.880 At this point it would look like so is the 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.520 vello something to be concerned about. It's something to monitor 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.079 for sure, because if this continues, he's going to have 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.959 a hard time having success overall. And you could question 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.440 the second start back already having some weird results, weird 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.440 VLO dip stuff. If that plays out, then Joe, you 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.680 will get a massive I told you so situation of like, hey, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.119 his peak already happened. I think it's all good. I'm 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.160 still solid with Garrett Cole. There's a lot of adjustment. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.120 I think Aaron Judge may have said it as well, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.760 that this is his strengthure. You know, these guys that 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.880 that miss this type of time, that are adjusting and 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.280 finding themselves in baseball. He's playing against a team that 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.000 he struggles with. It's kind of the spring training. I'm 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.680 a bye. I'm a bye with Garrett Cole, regardless of 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.920 some of the world will I told you after. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.920 Well, look it's not I told you so. I warned you. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:22.280 I See. The thing is, that's this public service announcement. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:28.520 This is a fantasy baseball wagering, baseball entertainment program, and 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.560 we're here to have fun, We're here to talk baseball, 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.920 and we're here to help people as much as we can. 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.839 I believe, and I still hold that belief that this 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.440 is too dangerous of a game to be playing in 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.200 your season long fantasy least, if this is a keeper 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.159 league diet like you're you're already tied in. It doesn't matter. 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.360 No strikeouts yesterday, it's not what you want to see. Yes, 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.839 it could feel like spring training. Sure. I watched the 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:00.479 start yesterday, and I think anybody who watched him didn't 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:06.800 see a confident, or I would say commanding Garrett Cole. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.280 He did not look like somebody who was He was 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.880 leaving balls all over the zone and yes, that happens 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.039 in the spring, treading to guy. Sure, So that's why 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.839 I'm not the grim Reaper today. That's why I'm not 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.880 wearing the cape, and that's why I don't have my 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:22.599 scythe yet and I don't want to have to adorn 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.120 those things. But it was not an encouraging start for 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.800 Garret Cole yesterday. It was not the Garrett Cole that 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.160 I think you're looking for. Now. To your point, if 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.920 you're on the Welsh's side and you think that I'm wrong, 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.080 then you absolutely have the window of all windows to 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.279 buy low for the rest of the season. This is it. 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.800 This is rock bottom pre injury rock Bottom. That's the like, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.960 that's the subterranean like it's already over. But I agree 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.360 with you Welsh, this is the time where, yeah, this 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.200 is when you can buy low on Garrett Cole if 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:55.119 you are so in closed. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.680 Yeah, and I I'd be comfortable like him to be 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.520 less sweaty. He seems like he's in the Brandon school 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.640 of sweat. But it is summer. But also I've put 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.480 a poll up not to jokes aside, of course, we 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.039 want to talk about serious thing. But I put a 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.160 poll up what is worse? I told you so, or 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.560 I warned you, and I have to know you're a dad, 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:17.160 warned you. 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.360 Remember that story you told me about your daughter going 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.720 out and wearing her not wearing shoes outside and then 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.800 she heard herself and she almost didn't make her dance. Meat. 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.760 Isn't that that sounds like a very dad thing to do. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.040 You're a dad. I'm a dad. The Peanuts and the 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.160 Crackerjacks are kind of like our children. Hopefully we'll have 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.560 to pay for college for any of them. Jeez. But 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.080 Wonky Penguin is in a right mood today. She's killing 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.760 it in his chair right now. I gotta say, but look. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.120 Garrett Cole or kill Hendrick swonky Kid out here. I'm 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.960 a buy on Garrett Cole. I think this is a blip. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.000 The Mets, like I said, can be a tough team. 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:54.479 He was completely off. Yes, though, this could be the 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.480 warning sign. And that's what you have to know. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.960 So if you start to throw or he wasn't good 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.680 dial back or not. His command wasn't good, his confidence 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.760 wasn't good on the mound, his demeanor wasn't good. And 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.640 I know you're getting your ass kicked. That's fair, like 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.640 you're not going to be having a good time. But 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.920 that's not Cy Young Garrett Cole that I know. That's 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.600 not the guy that I watched pitch for the Yankees 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.000 and win Cy Young's. That's not the guy that I 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.600 watched pitch in Houston either. 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.840 Yeah, I mean I kind of I don't know, like 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.160 year over year that the average is the same on 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.520 the fastball. He hit ninety nine in this start. He 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.240 was just massively effective because he plays the zone. He 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.160 couldn't hit the zone. He missed no bats. Again, this 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.760 could be the thing, man, Joe. Maybe it's just a field. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.840 Maybe he's working his way back in the fields. I 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.720 don't know, we'll see, but I'm not grim reapering yet. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.559 I in fact, I'm actually on your side today. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:46.240 I warned you, which you know. 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.000 We had a very funny tweet. Someone was saying that 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.360 I love this show, but I'm not listening today because 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.760 Joe is going to go on here talking about Garrett 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.360 Cole and I'm not taking victory laps. I'm not. I'mware, 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.560 Welsh is if you believe in Garret Cole, this is 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.280 the time to buy Mark V. By the way, let's 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:05.120 talk about the other side of this grimacing two home 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.320 runs there for him off Garrett Cole Showiltani and the 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.040 Dodgers had a pretty good night two for four with 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.240 a homer for him. Freddy Freeman also won four with 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.800 a homer, but Bobby Miller in that same game gave 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.760 up three runs and two innings thirty eight pitches in 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:24.680 the first inning, sixty altogether before he got pulled. Welsh, 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.720 you know it's God forbid. Something happens to Cole and 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.720 then Louis Heel turns into a pumpkin here. This is 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.160 a very interesting start tonight. Yankee fans right now are 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.160 not in a good mood. They had that hee'l blow up. 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.280 They had Cole against the Mets, which is the worst thing. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.160 If you're a Yankee fan, you hate it. And then 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.600 what do you have next is Louis Heel and if 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.400 he looks human again. Now it's like an arms race 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.160 where the Yankees and the Dodgers, the two juggernaut teams 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.040 of the first three months of the season, all of 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.240 a sudden are hitting that market really hard for arms. 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.040 Yeah, I agree on the Bobby Miller friend. By the way, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.760 you want to talk about zone percentages, he did not 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.120 have over ninety percent of his pitches failed to go 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.719 over thirty six percent in the zone or more. He 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.960 never had a pitch that he throwed ninety percent or 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.720 more get the zone at a clip that was essentially 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.000 more than three three to one, So two thirds of 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.480 the time it was a ball. It's ridiculous. His fastball 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.960 thirty six percent zone rate, but his sinker, which he 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.520 threw the most, only a twenty six percent zone rate 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.120 and the slider a ten percent. He has not looked 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.199 right since that one game. It was like his second 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.000 or third start of the year where he had like 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.640 the destruction, the blow up, he struck out the side 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.320 in the first inning, I'm forgetting what it was. But 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.800 the second inning he just got annihilated, give up like 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.240 five runs, thirty pitches or whatever the hell it was 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:40.559 it was. 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.240 And he just has not the first apologies. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.199 Yeah, it just has not been right since then. And 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.480 this mix again is kind of showing he's not throwing strikes, 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.160 and that's the big key. But it's like, is that 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.920 the be all end all for a guy like Bobby Miller, 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.920 Because if you're gonna look at his overall stuff, Vilo's 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:01.280 stuff about on par spind, they still look good. He 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.960 still had twenty six percent with rate, still got some 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.840 called strikes. It was a crappy twenty two percent CSW percentage. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.360 But all of those things we're just relative to him 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.679 not throwing a ton of strikes. So if we can 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.520 get back to that, the sinker should be throwing. By 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.720 the way, a twenty six twenty two, twenty six percent 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.240 sinker zone percentage is wildly insane. You throw that pitch 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.560 because you want these guys to make crappy, bad contact 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.760 at ground balls and stuff like that. If you can 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.920 fix that, I think we could get back to that 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.640 Bobby Miller. But that's the question are we going to 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.760 And I don't know. I'm I'm pessimistic about Bobby Miller 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.520 right now, where I'm a little bit optimistic about Garret. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.000 We shall see how it all shakes out. Gunner Henderson 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.319 got the Welshall Homer yesterday. Good for him. More Gunner 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.880 Henderson Later in the show, Luis Castillo still not good. 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.040 Four runs, five hits, five and a third. I just 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.400 hope he's not hiding some sort of injury. I hope 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.400 this is some kind of mental or mechanical thing or 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.080 whatever it is, because last couple starts have not been good. 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.360 Interesting by a low window on Luis Castillo. If you 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.520 want to make your Rice Harper two for four with 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.280 his twentieth home run of the season. So we got 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.280 a couple guys in the twenties now. Entery Schooble seven K, 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.760 seven score is so a good start against the Phillies 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.959 for him. He had a little bit of fun. Carlos 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:15.000 Rodriguez was optioned, and as Wonkee Penguin pointing out earlier 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.000 in the Chet, Dallas Kikeel gets acquired by the Brewers. 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.120 The Brewers are desperate need for some pitching. No, I 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:24.080 mean desperate. You know, they lost Gasser, they lost Rodriguez. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.120 Now they optioned him, so they need some help there. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.400 If only they had a picture like Cormyn Burns, things 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.320 might have been you know whatever. Ben Rice not in 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.600 the lineup today. I guess I should say for the 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.000 New York Yankees, that's interesting only because we're kind of 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.280 monitoring the playing time a little bit. Jadi Davis got 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.600 to start yesterday. Hessen Kerstadt also was not in the lineup. Again, 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.920 we bring up these players to play and then they 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.640 don't play so much, and it's a little frustrating from 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:52.360 time to time. 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.840 They they said on the Ben Rice stuff, they didn't 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.439 want to call it. It's so funny. They didn't want 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.920 to call it a platin, but it's like a platin. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.280 They're like, well, Ben Rice will probably play against some lefties, 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.199 and we like the at bats of his, but it's 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.959 essentially going to be a version, and their platoon might 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.760 just be like guy one day, maybe the other guy 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.439 two days and the other guy two days, so they're 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.640 gonna have some version of it. JD. Davis coming in 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.440 does hurt Ben Rice. But this is also why like 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.719 I wasn't very redraft pro Ben Rice, so chalk that 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.600 up for me not touting a prospect in REGA. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.439 Well, look, Ben Rice is a good minor league season. George, 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.800 hey Man, I did warn you, and it is going 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.240 to be July first, and Garret Cole so far has 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.800 not given you anything to your fantasy team, right or wrong? 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:38.120 Right or wrong? 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.280 Well, no, the first start. Now, first start, I thought 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:44.400 it was like, fine, that's what you want to take. 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.080 The second was so bad. I think it undid anything 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:47.839 from the first start. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:49.319 Yeah, maybe so we're even. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.480 No, No, we're even. We're not starting with three months 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.320 with nothing. If we're back to zero, that's still zero. Welsh. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.640 Well yeah, god, I mean what can you do about 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:57.920 the end? 0:12:57.960 --> 0:12:59.440 Nothing like you could not draft him. 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.520 You could have major decision earlier. What do you think 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.839 that poll is? By the way, what people think is worse. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.160 I told you so, or I warned you. 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:07.920 I told you so, definitely, I told you so. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.800 Seventy three percent I told you so. I'm shocked. I 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.520 don't know you saying I warned you exponentially worse whip. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.040 I don't know why it is. You're a dad, you 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.079 warn your children all day long.

So fatiscros dot com, slash MLB 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.240 review everybody, get in and do it. 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.040 Before we get to the waiverwaii, let's address this this 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.800 thing here. Cards in the attic who I've never heard 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.600 here in the chat before, welcome to the chat. We 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.160 appreciate you. How can player? How can player give you 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.880 anything when he has been hurt? Probably one of the 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.880 dumbest questions I've heard. Lo o l okay. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:06.760 It sounded like you were about to go to he 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:07.560 was about to be. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.480 Guy's been hurt. The point, the point I'm making is 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.920 if you're spending a second, third, fourth round pick on 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.440 a player that was dealing with an elbow injury of 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:26.600 massive implications. You are hurting your team because you passed 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.400 out on somebody else. You passed over another player that 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.160 could have helped your team, and you've gotten nothing in 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.560 three months from that player. Now you might get three 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.120 great months. I don't know if that's enough to justify 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.640 some of the ADP because he was still a top 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.320 one hundred player. Was he not Welsh last time? 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.920 But it is a small it is a small period 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.760 of time where that was going on. It was like 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.920 the February ish range and then that did adjust. 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.800 It adjusted it like very very end. Let's be honest. 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.080 It was the very end. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.440 Yeah, but but also like the one I mean, I'm 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:55.120 not going to defend. 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.200 It wasn't a question, it was a statement, and your 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.560 punctuation in grammar leave a lot to be desired. Not 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:04.000 to mention all caps is on pal people people talking 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.280 all caps are desperate to be hurt. 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.360 I won't I won't defend. I won't defend negativity, but 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:11.280 I said it as. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.160 You're you're okay cards, I'm just messing. 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.200 With you, buddy. But again, like I said, not going 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:21.560 to defend or definitely promote negativity for here, but as 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.760 you were saying it. I was going like, hey, listen, 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.760 what can people do Like I don't think you can 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.000 fully sit on here and make the case like, oh man, 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.280 he just hasn't produced. It's like, well, yeah, because he's hurt. 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.400 So yes, I get your point the second and fourth round, 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.560 But if you're here today, I don't think there's any 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.640 justification to talk about the time that you've lost. If 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.560 you're here today, that time was right after you drafted him, 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.320 or a month ago or two weeks ago when you 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.080 were doing that, Like that's it's irrelevant to me now 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.240 because it's like, all right, we're starting over day one, 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.240 we're fresh, he's here. Whatever you lost, you lost. You 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:54.960 needed to make that. 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:59.360 From all I learned from Scott Bogman, stop drafting players 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.080 here hurt before season starts. This is a great conversation 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.760 about five years ago I had with him. We were 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.879 talking about stuff. He's like, what are you doing? Like, 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.399 fancy sports is hard enough. Stop drafting these guys that 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.600 are already hurt. Unless you're getting such a mad yell 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.240 at Bogman all the time where you just it's nothing 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.600 but upside, and that's just rarely the case nowadays. It 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.120 just rarely is, and I. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:19.600 Yell at Bagamunt all the time. I'm like, will you 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.159 stop having the same take on injuries? And he's always 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.320 right and. 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.920 In the chat and he's always right. PMB is a question, 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.760 Louis Heel for Yelich? Is that a good trade? That's 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.520 an interesting one. I want to say, he never question. 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.920 I still would roll the dice with Heel, but it's 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:39.960 not awful. That's how I look at that one. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.760 Welsh how do you see it now? I think that's 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:43.480 that's like the general space. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.720 But yellow isn't a slam. I believe that's my problem. 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.960 It's like Yellowich is another back one swing from a 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.560 back injury guy waiting to happen to He's good. I'll 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.840 replace it Ryan Reynolds or Louis Heel. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.439 Oh, Brent, I mean I would do that in a 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.400 heartbeat with Brian Reynolds. I am more worried than I 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.919 was about the Heel situation because of the things that 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:08.359 have come out. But I still hold Today's gonna be 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.879 a big one to this idea that the Yankees are 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:12.720 gonna be smart and they're gonna play this like the 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.399 Cole Reagans might play this like crochet that you're not 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.600 going to just throw Louise Heel into some offset situation, 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.200 that they're going to manage him so he can continue 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.800 to start. Now those starts maybe a little bit less helpful, 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.760 no more two starts. Maybe there's a skip here there, 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.480 and that's not great. But I don't think he goes 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.680 by the wayside, except if he goes it gets blown 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.760 up again today and maybe one more, then this team 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.920 really might be like, yeah, we're gonna have to move 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.240 him into another situation because this is all falling apart. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.800 So if you are worried, and rightfully so, you have 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.600 some justification to be worried. Yeah, I think getting a 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.520 guy like a Yelich is fine. Getting a guy like 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.080 Brian Reynolds would be phenomenal. Those would be great. But 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.840 I still hold that even Louis Heel and this like 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.359 six man blah blah blah, can still be a top 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.400 thirty pitcher. But you know, I'm talking one out one side, 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.239 and God knows what the results are today are going 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:01.679 to tell. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.000 The other side absolutely by the way, I'm going to 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.720 go back to Cards because Cards seems like a good 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.240 egg here, and Cards is you know, we're just having 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.520 fun on the show. I'm going blind from cancer, but 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.880
