For now, we've got a lot 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.760 more to talk about from yesterday's acts. I want to 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.839 continue in this game venture the Angels and the Oakland 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.640 A's Mike Trout was not in the lineup, dealing with 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.280 a sore foot. Spoke about this yesterday with Greg. It 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.119 seems like there's always something going on with Mike Trout. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.200 I mean, the guy plays extremely hard to understand. That, 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.760 but I would almost want him to tone it down 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.319 a little bit. Mom, Mike Trout, we need you for 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.120 the long haul. We'll get an update from Dr A 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.600 in just about you know, fifteen sixteen, seventeen minutes from now, 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:34.920 we'll hear from Dr A about Mike Trout and what's 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.679 going on there. Yesterday I also said Matt Olsen was 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.080 going to come around, and that he is in the 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:44.360 seventh home run of the season yesterday and to run 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.680 scored to your eyes, great great game from Madame. If 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.120 you could still, I feel like the window is being 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.520 closed very rapidly by now. The window to buy Matt 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.040 Olson is being closed very rapidly. You gotta get in 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:58.960 neat more this guy. I mean, he's gonna go on 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.360 its hair. He's gonna it's gonna be one of these 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.680 weeks where the guy hits like six homers in a 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.720 week and you're not gonna want to miss out on it. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.520 So if you can get matt Olsen right now, I 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.800 would try my best to do that Handsel robe less Ventura. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:16.040 We had a Handsel robeless sighting yesterday. One of those Yeah, 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.240 you know what I'm talking about. The guy blew us saved. 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.400 He gave up a home run. You cannot make this 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.720 stuff up. Ventra a hotshot to center field off the 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:29.720 bat of Mark Hanna. He goes like this, it's center fielder. Hey, well, 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.160 you know what he would have to do to catch it? 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.600 Venture You would have to be sitting in the stands. 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.800 You need a jet pack of something. Because Handsel robeless 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.840 gives up a homer proceeds to blow be saved, and 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.160 it's telling his center fielder, hey, catch that, even though 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.680 it was a home run, you can't make it handsome. 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.959 Did they show his face after, like like after he 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.880 just they might have. I mean I only I watched 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.359 the clip of it a highlight on my phone one 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.200 because once I saw that he gave up a home run, 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.240 like all right, the first thing I do I go 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.200 to my MLB at bat app I said, look, I 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.520 gotta see if he does the point really do the 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.720 point again? And he didn't. He did it again. I mean, 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.400 Hansel Roles and he's been pretty good. He's been pretty 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.919 good in the closer's role. But now the e r 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.680 a up to uh four point to six. I don't 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:16.480 think that his job is in jeopardy here, but pay 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.880 attention to Ty Butchery, I mean Butchery. I think they 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.440 liked him in his role, so I don't think that 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:21.920 they're gonna move him out of it. He's got one 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.400 point to seventy year. He has been awesome as that 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.880 you know, multi ending reliever, put out the fires kind 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.000 of guy. I think the name to watch is Camber Drosan. 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.280 Actually he does have closing experience. They they've used him 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.480 in like the opening role this year as well, but 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.680 he has closing experience. Um doesn't have Mike Sosha who 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.720 used to love the guy before. But that's the name 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.000 I would pay attention to Camber Drosan, And obviously Cody 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:49.320 Allen is still on the roster. But yeah, yeah, he's 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.200 he's really paying attention to anything there. Hell, at this point, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.760 he's gotta be what thirty two or something like that, 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.520 Ody Allen maybe thirty, I don't know, he's something around there. 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.920 I feel like he's kind of he's kind of thirty 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.480 is right. Yeah, I'd say something like that. Um, but 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.360 I mean, there wasn't a lot of people that were 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.360 excited about him coming into the year. He had the 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.120 closer's role. But I mean you saw it the numbers 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:10.840 of the past couple of years. They were trending downwards. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.520 And you watched him pitch basketball, curveball guy, but his fastball. Like, 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:16.760 I think people bought because you have enough stuff, man, 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.280 That's what it comes down to. Yeah, I think we 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.680 were bought into because he's, you know, a cheap closer 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.600 that has experience and could get a streak saves for you. Now, 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.560 Handel rob is though, like, who's owning this guy at 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.760 this point? Actually I owned him in one of my 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.320 head to head twelve team points leagues. You just believe 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.960 that he had Cody Allen to start the year as 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:39.800 my second closer. I got him, you know, one of 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.400 my last round picks in the draft. He was a disaster. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.559 Guess who I dropped him for. Pedro Strope, who blew 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.600 a safe against the Marlins, didn't even get a single out, 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.080 and then he went on the I l He finished 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.120 the week giving me like negative twelve points. Yeah, I 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.320 think he got sat down. I think I lost. I 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.160 lost because of him. Actually, never forgive you for that, 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.839 pedro Strope. So I've been trying to like I had 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.880 Michael Gibbons thick God, I didn't have in my line 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.320 up last week? Oh my god, what would do if 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.559 I had Michael Gibbons in my lineup? So now I 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.320 I find myself landing with Hansel Robosts. He's really playing 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.000 the closer carousel here. There's really nothing out there. I 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.560 could pick up Sergio Romo, but it's like he did 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.240 get his eleven saved yesterday. I know, but when is 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:20.720 that going to run out? You don't want to pick 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.920 him up, and then you know that clock runs out too. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:28.720 I think you're you know, he's someone that you know, 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.320 people are actually as a second maybe third closer in 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.159 the rodal leagues. He's getting the opportunities, but I don't 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.320 think the leash is very long at this point. I 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.039 think I'm probably not in danger for now, but it 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.960 is something we're paying attention to. I think Cambodrosan might 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.320 be in the mix if anything were to happen. Which 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.280 let's move over to Texas and Seattle. Lots of runs 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.280 scored in this game as well, fifteen runs combined, and uh, 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.040 you know you want to talk about messy Bullpens. Gosh man, 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.520 the Seattle Mariners. It's been you know, one of the 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.400 most confusing you know, you think the closer is rowing 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.880 us a lion. You thought it was Swarzak. He gets traded. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.040 They're using Royani's Elias in the middle endings of relief 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.960 out of nowhere at times. Yesterday, he comes in in 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.599 the eighth inning with a seven to six lead, proceeds 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.839 to blow the game. They tie it seven to seven, 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.560 and then Anthony Bass comes in and then he blew 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.320 it in the ninth and they end up losing eight 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.400 to seven and Shawn Kelly locks down another save for 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.839 the Texas Rangers. So lots of moving parts with bullpens. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.560 I mean, that's the way of the world, the way 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.360 of the world when it comes to fantasy baseball. I mean, 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.400 this is not a shocker. But in Seattle, you know 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.840 they traded away Anthony Szak. That was the best guy 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.800 in the pen, really that you would want. I feel 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.640 like this is coming back soon. So that's someone that's 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.000 interesting to ye. If you play in a fifteen team league, 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.400 you know I would I would start stashing him now, actually, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.640 because if you wait, you're gonna have to spend a 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.400 lot of fab when he's actually back on the roster. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.240 He was the closer. They wanted him to be the 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.680 closure of this team. He's coming back from this issue. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.039 He was on the sixty day I l but he's 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.000 someone that I would stash now maybe, I mean, maybe 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.600 that's the guy I gotta look. I think so, And 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.159 at least because I don't see anybody else here that 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.400 could really get the job done it consistently. I mean, 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.680 eliots got blown up yesterday. You know, there's nobody else 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.600 really here that has the experience and could do it 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.760 on a consistent basis. So I would. I would take 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.360 a chance on stricklin in you know, if your need 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.240 of a closer and desperate need of a closer. I 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.560 mentioned that Sean Kelly came in for the save and 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.440 he was successful. And you know people might have been asking, 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.760 you know, well, when is jose L Clark gonna get 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.600 an opportunity to close? I don't think you will. Well, 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.680 it wasn't yesterday because he was starting the game. He 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.040 was the opener, and he'd been using him like that 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.880 past couple of times through the rotation. Maybe he's not 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.560 gonna get the closer roll back Venturan. Yeah, and they're 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.360 using him as an opener right now. Yeah, I don't 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.800 think they. I don't think that's gonna happen. I think 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:47.120 they like what he's doing as that opener. Um, he's 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.440 been getting their job done, I guess there. And you 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.680 know Kelly's been getting their job done as the closer, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.000 So why change that right now? It's not like la 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.200 Clark has this, you know, huge pedigree of being a 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.840 great closer. There's no reason to do it. Um. And 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.480 you know Texas has this issue where they need to 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.600 throw him in there as the openers. Sometimes it didn't 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.720 work yesterday because Smiley came in and gave up seven 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.920 or runs. They got blown up completely. But there's so 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.400 many openers now, like every game, every other game I'm 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.520 looking at, there's an opener starting somewhere. Angels have been 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.760 using Bedrosian as well as an opener. It's it's becoming 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.280 Bay obviously. Yankees, where you've been using Green, Well that's 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.080 just because they have injuries, don't really have enough and 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.760 they don't really have a choice. You just don't have 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.720 enough body. So John Kelly converts his six save for 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.959 now he is the Rangers closer. And you know we've said, 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.560 all right, well when the Rangers fall out of it, 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.520 well they haven't yet. I mean they're a game over 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.480 five hundred, so I mean if they stick around five hundred, 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.079 they're lurking. I mean they don't trade away as Shawn Kelly. 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.760 So it's something worth paying attended to and something else 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.560 worth paying attended to. Leading off for the Seattle Mariners 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:53.920 yesterday was my guy, Malex Smith. Two hits, two ribbies, 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:58.240 a walk, a run scored, and his thirteen stolen base 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:02.320 of the season. Get greggy if you're out there listening, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.400 what's his batting average up to now? But we're not 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.720 gonna talk about but Alex Smith. Baby, he's getting hot. 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.920 He's getting hot. He's the week he's getting hot. You 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.000 need stolen bases. Make sure you add him. And I 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.520 just dropped him in the pit leag like a week 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.160 or two ago. It's funny, that's the funny thing I got. 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.160 Brian Reynolds. I'm okay with it. Oh, your guy, Brian 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.240 Reynolds with the stolen basis, I mean that was so 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.920 valuable with the stone basis basis in one game the 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.200 other day. You just told his thirteen base last night. 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.199 That's why I told you can't. It's it's been frustrating. 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.800 He's had bad bad luck is bad is extremely low. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.080 There's a fast guy. The batting average is gonna come around. 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.240 He's seven first lesson. Somebody was dropped. Someone dropped him. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:44.320 Don't be like greg or Ventra. Hick him up. Get 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.480 Malex Smith on your team venture. The Cleveland Indians and 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.800 the Boston Red Sox. Three combined runs in this game yesterday, 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:57.120 thirty two hits between the Indians and the Boston Red 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.760 stock Red Sox. Can we get more in Webber please 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.240 or Weeber whatever his name is, because I would like 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.160 to start my hitters against him at all times times. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.240 Shane Bieber, I mean, this is about as as baseball 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.439 as baseball gets. The guy gives up six earned runs. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:17.400 Its ain actually uh in the one league where I 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.120 own him, my home league, head to head points league. 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.439 I didn't start him because it was against Boston. He's 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.400 struggled at times giving up home runs this year, and 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.200 that's exactly what he did last night, to give up 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:32.400 three home runs, six earned runs combined or five innings pitch. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.800 But I was I was a little bit scared about 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.080 Shane Bieber, so I didn't have him in the line 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.760 of venture. Yeah, I understand that if you have someone 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.800 with a much better, you know, much better option out there. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.560 I would do that, but I had b berin in 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.760 one of my lineups. A team I'm six and two in. Uh, 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.080 you know, I have Carrasco. I don't have a deep rotation. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.520 That's the problem. So I can't tend to keep my 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.120 guys in there. I figured, you know, at the very least, 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:55.840 he won't. You know, maybe he'll give me ten points 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.120 against Boston. Maybe I get lucky and he and he 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.920 gets a quality start. He got the win, so he 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:07.200 ended up with UM eleven point one yesterday. I'll take it, 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.080 you know what I mean. I know it's not two starts, 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.319 but I didn't really have much out My other option 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.400 was Paddock. So it was a better stunt than Paddock 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.040 overall because of the wind. Because of the wind. Because 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.960 of the wind. So I'm okay, let's listen, it's Boston. 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.280 Like he's gonna get blown up. We know about Bieber, 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:23.920 we know he's been doing this kind of thing all year, 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.720 but he's he's a solid picture. There's no time he's 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.320 going to be in your lineup. The only reason I 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.280 benched him was because he was going up against Boston 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.480 in Boston, you know, most of the time, he's he's 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:34.880 a guy that I'm gonna trust as you know, my 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.040 SP three, maybe my SP four, But he's a guy 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.040 that normally I want to trust and get in my lineup. 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.920 But it was his match up against Boston. I didn't 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.480 want to mess Hi out with this, and ultimately it 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:48.080 ended up working out. Ventra. Five of the fourteen runs 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.240 that were scored by the Indians yesterday were driven in 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:54.200 by Carlo Santana. This guy's hot again, man, I mean, 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.199 he's been really streaky, got off to a really good 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.040 start this year and he cooled off. Now he's hot again. 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.000 Three for four yesterday or runs, scored a home run, 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:07.120 his tenth of the season, five ribbies, two walks, Mr reliable. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.280 Who is who is this carl Santana? And what do 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.040 he what do he do with? That's the crazy Like 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.520 THEO four average is kind of shocking because last year 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.840 he hit nine. He's a career hit eight four, So 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.400 I expect that this year. Yeah, I expect that kind 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.400 of to regress a little bit as the season goes 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.640 on slowly. But the guy such a reliable, consistent hitter 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.800 in terms of what you know you're gonna get from 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.160 him every year. Uh, you know, he gives you that power. 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:42.280 He walks walk Yeah, two eighty four batting average right now. Massive. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.520 It's crazy too, because like I feel like he hasn't 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.320 really hit a ton of ton of homer's over his 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.600 career to really be like a guy that walks a 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.400 hundred times. But he walks dred times. He has such 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.440 a good eye. Even though he hit two thirty eight, 0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:00.000 has one over. So he came back in two thousand 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.400 sixteen when he hit thirties. You know, looking at his 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.240 bad ball data, forty nine hard hit, right, I mean 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.559 that's by far a career high. You guys hitting the 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.400 ball really hard, hitting more groundballs this year. But it's 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:15.400 actually working out for him groundball rate, fly ball. Normally, 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.720 I would want, all right, well, come on, let's hit 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.320 more fly balls here, Carl Santana. What it's working for him. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.480 So if it's working for Carl Santana, it's working for me. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.319 I don't want him to change anything because he's doing 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.200 the best he's ever home runs. He's on pace for 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:30.920 thirty I don't even need thirty home runs. Give me 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.120 twenty five homers. You know the county stature there, thirty 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.840 three runs, thirty four and seventy two seventy with a 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.880 good O b P home runs. That's fine, you're getting 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.959 more than you bogging four. Really don't change the thing. 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.360 Carl Santana, you know, listen, he's a model of like 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.520 an iron man, you know, consistent guy that you know, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.520 basically playing every single day, uh and getting a dump 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.640 you uh. The other two guys though, in that game, 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.240 Lindor Mercado, Okay, this is re hits each. I was 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.599 saying yesterday, the Indians are about to break out. I 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.520 don't know if it's gonna be this soon, even though 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.959 you saw it yesterday against the Red Sox. Granted it 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.840 was getting against Webber, but I think they're gonna start 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.760 breaking out as the season goes along more and more. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.000 Once you see Ramirez starting to get hot now two 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.240 for five yesterday with two r b I s and 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.720 two run scored. You know Macado, this guy, you know, 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.160 they bring him up. He's ripping absolutely, sitting three thirty 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:23.680 three right now, two run scored. And then you got 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.240 Lindor who's really starting to come on here. He's getting 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.640 like multiple hits every game. He's been like in the 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.440 last five games, three for six, two run scored in ALBII. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.840 These these two guys at the top. If Ra Mirrors 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.440 starts getting hot, you got Santan in the middle there, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.920 it's not that bad of a line up. As we 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.600 said at the beginning of the beginning of season, We're like, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.200 this line is terrible, yeah, because they had they had 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.600 a Hanley Ramrrors, they had all these retreads in their lineup. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.000 But and they're about to get Bradley Zimmer back too, 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.120 So we'll see what happens there. Greg Allen Worth, noting 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.280 that he started in left field in this game, went 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:57.000 two for four hit two triples, actually two two triples 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.000 for Greg Allen we know that he's a really fast guy. Um, 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.920 see what happens there if he if he continues to 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.880 stay in the lineup. They had Jake Bowers at designated 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.120 hitter yesterday and jose Ra mirr Is obviously a big 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.920 topic of conversation is Jose marr is gonna come around well? 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.960 Back to back multi hit games? Venture But if I 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.720 told you that that was the first time all season 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.840 he had back to back multi hit games, I believe 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.680 it where it is crazy, crazy, and you know, even 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.120 with the back to back multi hit games, batting two 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.000 oh nine. So let's see if he can build off this. 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.680 The home runs don't have to come right away. I'd 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.360 rather her, Jose Ramirez, Let's get a couple of hits. 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.000 Let's string together a couple of hits. Let's get that 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.120 batting average up. Let's get the confidence off, and then 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:45.120 we'll try and stores once the weather continues to heat up. 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.960 Let's get that batting average up, man, and you're a 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.840 better hitter than this. This is like my my monologue 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.640 to Carlo to josire mirrors. Jose, Let's get the bat 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.960 on the ball. Stop trying to hit so many home 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:02.600 runs right now. Maybe let's make contact. Hits will come, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.760 We'll get the confidence up. Then we'll start swinging for 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.080 the fences. Baby, but we need to get that batting 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.440 and it's coming, we hope. I'm gonna make a prediction 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:19.000 right now. It's Thursday. I say, by June, what is 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.200 the batting average for Jose? I was gonna go even sooner, 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.320 but let's say, yeah, let's say June. Let's do Juli 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.400 a month, a month of action. Ue, what's the batting average. 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:33.680 I'll say to I was gonna say, he's gonna have 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.320 a pretty damn good June. Get his batting average from two, 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.560 and he's gonna have a crazy streak that he boost 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:42.120 his batting average up like most year. We know he's 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.960 capable of these crazy streaks. He was almost a thirty 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.120 thirty player in the first half last year. It's unheard of. 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.840 He's a great player. It's gonna happen. I said earlier 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.160 on in the week. Look, if you can sell someone 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.160 the way that I'm trying to sell myself right now, 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.360 that Josian marriage is coming around, and you can get 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.720 good value for him, and you look into trading game 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.560 because I know no good friend of the program, Constantine. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.120 He told me, he said, he sent me the screenshots. Dude, 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.680 I'm trying to make trades. Nobody wants Jose Ramirez. I 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.800 understand that maybe now multi hit games, you could sell 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:15.800 them off a little bit easier. Here. I'll tell you 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.760 what if I'm if you're in a league with me 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:22.800 that I don't have h mirrors, I'm interested. You're gonna 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.880 buy low right now? Yeah? Oh yeah, so we'll see. 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.760 We'll see what happens. Here with Jose Ramirez venture of 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:33.040 the Phillies eleven to four yesterday against the Cardinals Cardinals 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.080 many six and twenty with the St. Louis Cardinals. You 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.800 know what, I think it starts with the with the pitching. Yeah, 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.720 I think the pitching just hasn't gotten the job done 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.359 this year. Hopefully Alex Rays could be a boost. But 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:50.880 Genesis Cabrera um made a quick, a quick exodus yesterday. Dude, 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.919 that's bad. In two thirds five runs scores, but three earned, 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.199 two walks, five strikeouts, seven point three six e r 0:17:58.200 --> 0:17:59.520 a in his first start. You say he didn't do 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.440 so bad. Three and two thirds is not good. I 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.120 like the five case only three urned runs. Yeah, I mean, listen, 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.480 obviously they didn't help him, uh in the field behind 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.600 them very much. But listen, it's Stanisis Cabrera. Obviously this 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.800 isn't a top guy coming up. You know, who's gonna 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.560 just pitch a gem out of nowhere. Um. So, you know, 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.720 I kind of expect it. The Phillies lineup and the 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.360 Philly is a dude to really start getting real hot here. 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.440 I think we see that a little bit here. Rice 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.239 Harper Dinger, Mike cal Franco Got hot, though, I mean 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.600 you don't. You don't want my two nineteen Got Kinggary, 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:34.200 You're got Homer in McCutcheon, Homer, Let's go Philly, stay hot?
