We have a lot of baseball 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.280 to get to. We've got some fun things going on, obviously. 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.680 I see Jason Dominguez is on Twitter trending right now. 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.760 That's very exciting. I saw a good game yesterday while 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.840 he's hitting doubles, doing fun things, you know, Yankee prospects, 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.440 you know, all kinds of exciting things like that. I 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.520 am working very hard to get an X plug shirt 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.559 made up because of yesterday's moment in the show. I 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.400 think it's a sign and we need to run with it. Welsh, 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:51.960 what do you think? 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.400 What's the design? But what are we talking about here? 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:55.080 What are we thinking of? 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.840 You don't know. I'm open to x plug designs now again. 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.120 Please let us, you know, keep it clean. Everybody out there, 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:03.400 if you if you send them to me on the 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.679 Twitter machine at Joe Pi's at BA seventeen. I will 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.760 I will take a look at the designs, but I 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.000 don't know. I think it was just x plug. I'm 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:14.040 also pushing for the hashtag Welshism shirt because that's a 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.320 shirt that I just personally want. I just want that shirt. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:17.760 But if you. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.399 Decided, are we going to put Welshism's on there or. 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.480 I don't know how, I don't know how much it 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.000 costs to get them. I'm I would love to put 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:26.960 a list of them to tell you the truth, and 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:32.319 I think that would be We are so close, by 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.280 the way, we are so close to fourteen thousand subs 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.120 if you haven't already subscribed to the YouTube channel again. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.160 We've got the trade videos, We've got all the fun 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.000 things going on. We're also going to be doing on 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.520 the Betting Pro side, welsh and I can do a 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.160 home run Derby special. So go subscribe to Betting Pros 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.640 as well, because that's going to drop sometime next week 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:52.960 before the All Star break. 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:57.920 Our City contestant in Vladimir g Junior officially announced. 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.960 And I heard Mookie Betts is going to partake it 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:00.280 as well. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.280 I may not just have seen that. I don't know. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:03.280 I don't know. 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.600 I saw Dicey this morning on any news that i've 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:08.120 You guys are. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:09.960 Waiting to see if they're named to the team because 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:11.960 nobody wants to travel. Like if you're there, you're like, 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.160 I'll do the All Star Game, I'll do the home 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.200 run Derby, I'll do everything, but traveling just for the Derby. 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.280 I think that's the hard cell. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.400 I still think Ellie de la Cruz, you gotta put 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:22.919 him in that thing. You put him in that thing 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.680 for those big evs. He's not going to be at 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.480 the All Star Game, but put him in that contest, please. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.360 But I know they're going to focus on the guys 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.000 that are actually, you know, in the game, in the game. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.440 In the game. It's in the game, folks, it's in 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.000 the game. Let's talk about some of the things from 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.280 the game. Yesterday, good day for prize picking. Yesterday, I 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.560 had Lozardo and Bellow combined ks. I had Lozardo Fantasy 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.240 points and Kyle Tucker over on Fantasy Points. Ring the 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:48.480 bell baby cash? 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.720 Did you ring that ding ding da? 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.799 I can't cash because I'm in New Jersey. Well, nobody, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.560 I helped somebody cash. But it was a good day. 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.080 Kyle Tucker three run bomb, good times there. The Cardinals 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:03.280 continue to be the Cardinal. I mean, Yike's fourteen nothing yesterday. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.160 I mean, I think the end is for Adam Waynwright. 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.520 It's here. A great career. I don't think a Hall 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.520 of Fame career, but a great one, fun guy in 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.440 Major League Baseball, good dude, big fantasy football guy. Maybe 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.080 we'll try to get him on the show when he's retired. 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.280 But I think it's over. I think this is the 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.119 end of the line for Wayne Right. I think it's over. 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.240 Cardinals are over. They should be sellers at the deadline. LAZARDA, 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.359 let's talk about him. Welsh six and a third scoreless innings. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.560 He had nine strikeouts, one walk. LOZARDA was kind of 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.800 this guy that if he invested in him this year, 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.440 you had all the reason to believe that he could 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.720 kind of finally have that big breakout season. You saw 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.680 a lot of it last year. There's been so much negativity, 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.000 so many injuries to deal with. It's been a long wait. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.680 It's been it's been a five year wait for Lozardo, 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.560 going back to the A's years for him to really 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.000 become the picture that he's emerging as now. So are 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.040 you surprised that it's finally happened or are you just 0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.920 happy it's finally happened at this. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.839 Well, actually, I'm surprised from a if you going back 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.880 and look in the last like ten years, of the 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.440 guys that you know, us as prospect people have put 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:13.680 as the top pitchers, they fail. Alex Reyes doesn't exist anymore. 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.560 Mackenzie Gore actually just starting to kind of break through. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.800 So it's been kind of a rough run. But I'm 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.480 not actually surprised from the talent this game, by the way, 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:26.240 nineteen swing and whiffs only four on the fastball, his 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.480 slider had a sixty three percent whiff rate. He had 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.440 twelve of nineteen swings being whiffs, which is bonkers. Thirty 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.839 three percent whiff rate, thirty percent CSW rate and a 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.120 forty eight csw on his slider. That's been the thing 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.400 I've always loved Lozardo and how he changed speeds and motions. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.000 The Velo uptick has been huge for him this year, 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.560 and he's just moving in from like this is a 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.960 solid pitcher to that upper tier to the you know, 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.680 he's not into the elite of e leader or anything 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.760 like that. But this is a guy that's gonna close 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:02.000 you Lozardo. Lozardo could resemble an SP two on your team. 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:03.800 I mean he's kind of performed at that level, but 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.920 he can resemble that pretty solid SP four to three 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.560 for people to have. And you know, wisk keep going. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.240 He keeps looking really good. Time for those Marlins to 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.960 turn it around. Little side note, I just don't think 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.800 I realized how bad the Cardinals from a standings perspective. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.440 I don't pay attention to records a whole bunch and 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.920 very focused like player focus and everything that their last 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.680 in the central. Just trying to throw this out real 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.920 quick is mind boggling. Under the Cubs, they're the last 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.360 in the central, right, they should trade off, But. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.480 I mean that's it. And the Mets are seventeen and 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.600 a half games out, like so, look, it's just over 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.760 for some of you. You know, it's time to have 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.200 the hard conversations with some of these teams. The Cardinals 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.720 and the Mets had expectations. These were teams we thought 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.760 were going to contend for the Divisions and possibly World Series, 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.839 and they are not going to do. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.880 Which do you think bends or breaks, I guess would 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.280 be the better way to say it. First, it's the 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.400 Mets or the Cardinals or I'm throwing the was it 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.280 the White Sox in this too? The White Sox? 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.640 Yeah, but the white Socks I think a lot more 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.760 failure potential built in. I don't think anybody looked at 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.000 the White Sox as a safe investment. I think people 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.520 will look at the White Soxes, this should get better, 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.800 right right, it should get better. Where they looked at 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.440 the Cardinals looked at the Mets is like this is 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.960 gonna be good. I think that's that's a totally different 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.200 perspective on those teams. I think that the Mets were smart. 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.440 They blink because they have the best pieces to move, 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:24.440 because they. 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.359 Have hardinal Scotts threemium to move. Though, now you know 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:28.520 what actually might disagree. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.160 I think, who's the picture on the Cardinals? You're gonna move. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.240 That's gonna make a difference in the playoffs. I got Verlander, 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.560 I got Schures, or I got Oh. I'm talking about the. 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.360 Total impact of trades, like what the what a team 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.960 can get back. The Cardinals have a bevy of players, 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.120 but the. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.440 Shoulder thing right now, I just heard that news this 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.680 morning when I woke up. That's not fun to hear. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.840 I'm just saying, like, right now, there's the Cardinals don't 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.240 have the pitching soign I'm not saying they don't have 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.280 good pieces to move. I'm just saying, you want to 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.960 talk about playoffs, now you're talking about impact starting pitcher. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.440 I think that's the big difference here. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.520 The problem with the I was actually looking at this 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.520 badman and I just did this and this funny. David 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.919 just said this in the chat. I didn't do this 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.280 when we talked about trading Schuurser the other day because 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:12.920 I just don't want everyone to roll their eyes every 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.360 time and talk about the Diamondbacks. But we're looking at 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.320 Shuser because it does make a lot of sense. He 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.280 was a Diamondback. They're competing he kind of maybe in 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.120 his career, but Suresier's gonna be tough. I think when 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.800 Suzier is traded, I think he is gonna get traded. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.600 It's gonna disappoint you and a lot of other people. 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.440 Because he's owed forty three million dollars this year. So 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.080 if you want to backlog it, maybe it's fifteen million. 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.120 The rest of the year and forty three million dollars 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.880 like next year. So you're talking about a thirty eight 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.360 year old pitcher who has sixty million dollars left if 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.200 you trade him now into next year. The Mets aren't 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.280 getting anything. They're gonna have like they're not unless they 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:53.600 pay a decent amount of the money. 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:54.480 They're getting something. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.880 They're getting get something, but they're not gonna get. 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.800 Back on the free agent Parker. Look at the Wan 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.920 Soto's of the world. I mean, look, the Met's biggest 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.000 problem is that giant payroll and nothing to show for it. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.520 So if you're going to reorganize and then go out 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.480 there on the market again, you gotta shed some of 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.760 the salary you don't need. Okay that what you're trying 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.520 to do is take that forty three million dollars and 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.440 put into Wan Sodo and that's a the investment. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.200 You're looking at it logically, then that's not what I meant. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:21.600 I'm saying, that's the problem. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.080 I'm I'm usually logical guy. In that's time. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.320 I'm saying the return for Susier isn't going to please 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.880 anybody because it's sixty million dollars and it won't look good. 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.440 So yes, a team like the Diamondbacks should do it, 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.559 because a rotation is a disaster. Rangers, who I've said Dodger. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.040 Is a nice story right full circle? For sure, it'd 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:41.640 be great. Yeah, I think it back to where it 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:46.880 all started. Chris Bassett was great yesterday, twelve strikeouts career 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.760 high for him, six shutout innings over the Giants. Trey 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.559 Turner a little sign of life. I don't know. We're 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.640 still waiting. Every time I think Trey Turner's got to 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.079 pick it up and have a nice run, it kind 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.160 of just paters out. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.960 Where's Turner? That's not a guy? Sometimes in fantasy, especially 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.800 fantasy analysis and stuff, you just kind of blow by 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.480 and don't even think about some of the big players. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.160 First round pick, is it Turner or is it Lad? 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.240 I guess it's probably flat because of this. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.520 I want to hear the Peanuts and Crackerjacks Vlad or Turner. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.559 Who's the bigger disappointment? Drop it in the chat right now. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:21.640 I want to know what you have to say. 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.720 Seventeen stolen bases for Turner, eight homers. He's only hitting 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.439 two forty nine, which kind of stinks his XBA is better, 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:34.520 but everything is kind of down his barrel in four years. 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.920 W Here's what happened. All of a sudden, the premium 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:40.920 of the tray turner stolen bases that you had to have, 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.920 you didn't have to have anymore because how everybody's stealing bases. 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.240 So the thing that made him so valuable is the 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.920 thing now you look at and you're like, wow, seventeen sales, 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.040 whatever I can mount of my eyes at that, as 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.439 opposed to some of the big power guys. I mean, 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.280 those are the guys right now that are returning the 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.000 better value. Until Judge got heard, obviously. 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.840 I agree with that, But the the big thing was 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.440 the five tools. You got, all those stolen bases with 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.199 a guy that could hit decent amount significant homers who 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.880 hit for a high batting average run an RBI. Might 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.640 be a little bit dicey. He did it last year, 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.400 But back to your point, so many guys are doing it. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.160 That the that the you know, the walls are kind 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.080 of closing in on that, and guys like Corby Carroll 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.440 is demolishing him, and guys like Bobby Witt, even though 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.360 when they're struggling, they're categorically still outperforming it's just he's 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.960 not providing the cool stuff, the amazing elite stuff that 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.480 you would get with those stolen bases. Now he's kind 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.079 of he's solid but average. It's a solid average player 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.120 that you know, eight homer, seventeen stolen bases. That's actually 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:38.920 not insane to do in this environment. 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.040 I'll tell you what, man, it seems like the chat's 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.800 very much into Trey Turner being the bigger disappointment. I 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.600 agree because what I said, what you drafted him for 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.720 you can now get because it's not that big of 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.960 it's every other team is selling it now. You know, 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:53.760 people something. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.959 Took him one and some people took him one overall. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:00.720 And yeah, kun Julio, I still like Juli hadn't you know, 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.280 the bad start certainly hurt him, but we'll see where 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.440 everything ends up. But Acuna certainly looks like the clear 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.520 cut number one if it wasn't Otani. If you're getting 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:12.000 both players, obviously it's always Otani. Jazz Chisholm homer second 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.200 straight game, So that's good for Jazz. I guess the 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.640 foot issue is at least tolerable because he's had some 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.440 good uh situations there. Oh yeah, and that guy that 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.640 I just mentioned Shoo Tani hit another two run home 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.360 run just another day in the show Heo Tani story. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.160 I saw. I saw somebody mention that at this time 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.680 last year, Judge was at thirty homers and Otani's at 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.480 twenty nine right now, and we are we're not in 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.559 the we're not even the space of talking about how. 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.560 He's if he chases sixty, like if he gets to 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.760 like what if he beats it? I mean, what a 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.600 crazy set of circumstances that would be. 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.600 I'm here while striking out two hundred, while striking out 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.959 two hundreds. I remember one's like, well, okay, but you 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:56.840 know what Judge is doing. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:57.280 He's a hitter. 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.560 Blah blah blah. Otani's doing that in his sleep while 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.760 striking striking out two. This is our vengines from last year, 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.480 when you and I kept coming on and being like, Okay, 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.040 this is great. The Judge's doing this, but it's still 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:06.920 a Taani And then. 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.360 We said it wasn't fair, and Otani's like, I got 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.079 this choice, don't worry, way to go. Let's do a 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.320 little rookie lookie, Emma Chihan tough assignment in Colorado, but 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.760 three runs five innings, respectable, tough environment, got the W 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.240 for the uh for the Los Angeles Dodgers, they are 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.480 good times, not good times for Brandon fought. No Randy 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.040 Rose Arena, which really pissed off Welsh right after the show. 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.720 A Rose Areina not in the lineup. Welsh lost his mind. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.360 It was madness here in the slack chat. 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.920 And there was a homer in the first inning and 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.719 it was Luke Rayley, who, by the way, I think 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.720 Luke Raley was hitting three where a Rose Arena would 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.160 have hit. It was super annoying. 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.200 Six runs at the end of the day. So, uh what, 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:46.800 we're not. 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.440 The fought, it's we're done with the fot There's no 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:55.400 thing we need to do with the fought anymore. He 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.920 he's done word none. It's bad. He gets on the mound, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.480 he's just sweating. Every second he's sweat. I was so 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.200 mad yesterday we were live recording as that game was 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:09.880 going on, watching him. He is so disheveled when he's 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.280 up there. They what they said they were trying to 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.040 do was work on him being able to move the 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.880 fastball more throw it inside on hitters hands. He did 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.120 that early and then he falls apart. They don't. The 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.160 sweeper doesn't have enough bite, it doesn't look good enough. 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.440 The fastball. Everyone keeps playing the fastball. But yeah, maybe 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.680 it just didn't you know, do anything locked into him, 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.319 but it's it's garbage trash. He gives up hard, hard contact, 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.560 he gives up Homer's. I am completely out on Brandon Fought. 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.480 You should cut him in almost every format. I I'm 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.000 getting mad thinking about it again. And thank god Corby, 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:51.600 all that mattered. I almost lost my cool completely because 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.960 as Brandon Fought is just getting lit up, giving him 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.880 six earned runs, Corman Carroll got taken out of the 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.280 game with his shoulder injury, but. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.120 The same one he had stay on. By the way, 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.600 we're yet but yeah. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.360 Yeah, and I mean, but I mean really it could 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:07.720 have been like a top piece of news we could 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:12.800 have talked about because I was like anxiety ridden. It's okay, get. 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.520 That talk space, you get to talk to somebody, like 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.240 get online, you know, just I. 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.079 Was like walking. I liked to go to that. 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:19.920 We should do that live on the show. We should 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.840 like because we could share screens, like we could get 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.520 a talk space person, we could ask them, you know. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.400 I drafted trade Turner number one overall? 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.160 What is that like like those online therapists would get like, yeah, 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:29.920 it was online therapist. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.040 I just want to see what they have to say 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:32.440 about it. It's like, this has been a really hard 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.240 year for me. I took Trey Turner first. Overall, I'm 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.800 eighth in the standings right now, and I'm really I'm 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:38.840 really struggling with this. 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.280 I was actually, like legitimately struggling with the Corbick Carroll stuff. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.120 My brand is very Corbick Carroll this year, so it 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:45.000 would have been really rough. 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.040 Wellow our brand, I think we've hitched that wagon toge Oh. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:49.920 Yeah, no, no, It's totally a thing here. But like it, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.160 I get tweets every day about anything he does. Uh, 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:54.800 And I know we're jumping on this, but I want 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.120 to make two points on the corby Carlstof since we're there. 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.240 He says we're okay, you know, he says they did 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.359 all the stress tests on it. Thank god, it's all good. 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.200 But I'm still a little bit worried. And I really 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.760 hope he's not in the lineup today because he talked 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.240 about how he went now but he said he mentioned 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.560 how kind of scared he was he had never felt 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:18.120 that pain before and that's not something I feel super 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.520 comfortable with. So I really hope they babied this into 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.360 the All Star break. So he's good the rest of 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.360 the way. I know anyone playing right now would hate it. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:28.400 But it was a serious scare. But looks like he's okay. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.560 So the wonky Penguins in the chat, but I think 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.480 it's a salty penguin today, to be honest with you, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.120 because when talking in the chat here about the Otani 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.840 judge home run thing, the salty penguin says without using 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.800 special baseballs in Yankee Stadium, that's what Otani's doing. Yikes. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.880 And then look at Wonky over here, who had seventeen 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.200 minutes for Corbyn Carroll's appearance. Wonkey sayn't a good look. 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.040 This is you're being very salty and angry. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.800 Really is not happen? What happened to Wonks? What's going on? 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.320 Let's go the injury report. Uh EDWARDO. Rodriguez born a 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.640 third squirrels sittings in the minor League, ree have assignment. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.960 He will be traded as soon as he comes back 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.640 and throws. I would say two starts, two starts he gone. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.560 Dustin May has yet to resume throwing. No shocker there. 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.960 So between that and this Clayton Kershaw dealing with the 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.400 left shoulder inflammation news, Emma, she has not going anywhere 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.480 for the next couple of weeks. Folks like he's going 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.200 to be in this rotation until they get a long 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.160 term solution. So I think till mid to late July. Emma, 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.400 she Hen's still gonna be useful. Don't go dropping him. 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.520 We talked about Corbin Kroll. I won't go back on that, 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.280 but Chris Bryant will return today for finale against the Tigers. 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.840 Here's a fun fact in the way reire video this week. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.240 Spencer Torkleson was one of my pickups because I said, 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:38.800 you know, four of the eight home runs have come 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.800 this month. He's starting to figure things out. Another homer, 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.880 oh wait, another one. Two homers for Spencer Torkleson right now, 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.120 So I think things are starting to get figured out 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.600 late Bloomer, That's okay, We'll take it anyway. Three up 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.920 and three down. Jad Martinez boys, he been on fire, 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.920 had the injury was terrible in the beginning of the year, cuttable, 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.760 and then he's come back out of a pretty strong 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.200 performance so far, considering the ADP as a player we 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.719 liked going into the season, and Man in April did 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.159 not look good. But four for five with a homer. 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.680 Yet Alex Bregman three for four with the Grand Slam 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.800 and that onslaught of the poor Cardinals and then Vlad 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.919 Guerrero Junior at a home run. So Vlad is heating 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.080 up Blad is gonna be in the home run Derby? 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.800 Do we think Vlad is in line for a big 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.760 second half? Well big? 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:25.600 I don't know if it's gonna be big big. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.720 I want to know, is it big? It's all I'm 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.560 here for the big second half. Don't give me the 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:30.440 medium worn I don't want. 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.920 I'm a little bit of a conspiracy. Like the home 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.040 run Derby swinging could alter some of the guys. I 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:38.760 don't know. I feel like there's just a thing to that. 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.000 So I don't know if it's gonna jumpstart him in 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.480 any way. I think we'll get like eighty five percent flat. 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.240 I don't think we're gonna get a monster flat in 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.639 the second half. But I buy him being much better. 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.440 You know he is getting that, So I'm in. 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.280 I hope so it's got to turn around. Three down. 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:57.679 Adam Wainwright got only five outs yesterday six runs. Yikes, 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.639 not a good look. Lance Lynn. Lance Lynn is ad 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.159 the weirdest season I've seen in recent memory. So he 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.040 gave up three homers, five runs, but he got the 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.720 w Where's the other day when he struck out eight 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.760
