1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Welcome, welcome back everybody. The first half is over. Brady is back and the Rangers are really sucking. We're going to get Joe's thoughts on that and a whole lot more around the league. Welcome back to Four Guys and Still No Clue. 2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Good afternoon, gentlemen. As of this recording, the MLB draft is ongoing, but you guys are probably seeing this now Monday morning. But yeah, we got a full crew today. We're talking about the last week. The first half is now over. But first and foremost, really, Brady's back. Brady, we want to hear about your family, trade, and your career. 3 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Brady, we want to hear about your family trip and how you're doing, man. 4 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:59,000 It's great to be back. Family trip was good. I tried to hop on for our last recording but just wasn't able to get it done. But yeah, I'll do that to you. 5 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:09,000 We're back. Yeah, Joe Kenji. How are you guys doing? It's been a I guess I haven't seen you guys in a week. How we doing? 6 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,000 I'm fine. I'm fine. 7 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Okay, Kenji's doing good. Yeah, I'm fine. He filled out the shelf. Kenji, you want to talk about that for a second? And you filled out the shelf behind you because we bullied you into doing it last time we recorded. 8 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000 Yeah, I was on Amazon. I spent too much money on just little stuff. 9 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Okay, yeah. Tell us. No, just like point at one or two things and tell me what's behind you. I got my sword. Okay. But I think I'm going to move it down because I can't even see my sword because the angle of my table. 10 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Okay, you got to use it to protect yourself too, you know, like when an intruder comes in. Yeah, it's going to be reachable and I'm not that tall so I don't know how high I can get it. I got a couple of hats down here that are like ear to my heart. 11 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Okay. And then I got a photo album, because I'm still stuck in high school obviously. Cute. I got my shoes that are only, like you can only find in Japan because I'm so cool. Yeah. And then I have just like my favorite country album right there that no one will ever understand. Cool. 12 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:28,000 And then the Packers album that Brady gave me from a month ago, like five years ago. Five years ago. The only Packers like form of attire you own. Only football I think I probably even have. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, Joe, how you doing brother? 13 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Yeah, here guys, let me show you my background real quick. So over here we got my the door to my closet and the door to go outside of the hall and a hook to, you know, hang up that Dane Dunning jersey. 14 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:50,000 What are those two white things between the doors? Those are light switches. Oh nice nice. Hey you look at light switches. Yeah. You probably have one in your home Kenji, do you know what they look like? 15 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000 Hey I was just trying to give something to talk about for a moment. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 16 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:11,000 When's the Dane Dunning jersey coming? That's true. I guess I'm gonna keep pressuring you to buying one because like I know I have to buy one and I'm gonna get it around to eventually but it's just, I don't know like, first of all I don't know which one I should get. The baby blue, city connect or just like the regular white? 17 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:23,000 It's gotta be the baby blue. Baby blue? It's gotta be. You think so? I don't know man. I don't like the city connects that much. I'm really not a fan. 18 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:44,000 But I like the baby blue, I like the home white. I don't think I can go wrong dude. But I think honestly, honestly I think you're making excuses Joe. No I'm not. I think you just gotta buy one. Dane Dunning has like three out of his like last five starts have been quality starts that he's pitched really well. So I think you need to do it. 19 00:03:44,000 --> 00:04:01,000 You 100% need to do baby blue jerseys. Those are sick. And Kenji has his new bar jersey. Just chilling there. That's true. New bar when playing overseas is an alien. Did you guys see he popped off when they played in England too when they played in London last time. 20 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:15,000 Yeah. I was like of course new bar anytime he goes on a plane he just he turns into very bonds overseas. Don't let jet lag new bar get hot. Jet lag new bar. 21 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Okay yeah so moving on moving right along then. So we're going to get to some of our main talking points and the first half is done. The first point, what I'm most excited for are the Rangers being so bad. Did you just lose a series to the Washington Nationals who own I believe. 22 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Let me know let me check this just so we can get it right so Joe can be made fun of the Washington Nationals have the fourth best or fourth worst record in all of baseball. And you just got these last series. 23 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Joe what do you have to say for your lovely Rangers. 24 00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:04,000 So if I'm being completely honest, I stopped watching like any Rangers games since the Astros series. Wow. As soon as I turned it on, they would just start sucking and we would lose, and I'll get mad at the bullpen. 25 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:21,000 I'll get mad at Semi in. I'll get mad at Garcia. Yeah, get mad at every single player on the team. I just stopped watching it and check my phone from time to time. Let's see. Let's see how the let's see how the score the scores. 26 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000 Oh, just gave up a home run. Oh no it's seven to two now. 27 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:42,000 I have no one to say at this point, we were, we were doing so hot. And now it's just like every time I'm like scared, you know when like the Rangers versus Nationals are about to start pitching and Drohini, you know it's just like, yeah, I'm 28 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:50,000 looking at it right here you guys have lost two straight, you're three and seven in your last 10 Houston is right on your tail. 29 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:57,000 Yeah, I think it's back right to get to back now. 30 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Five or six yeah well we played that we play the Astros in a force for game series and they took free from us. Oh, that's what cut the deficit down to like a lot. 31 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:16,000 Yeah, I think they lost to to Seattle took two from them in this series and so it's like, they're not going to pass us up. 32 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:24,000 What's the problem with the team Joe. So you said the bullpen makes you mad. Semi makes you mad. What's the problem with you like how do you guys, how do you write the ship. 33 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000 So I think like in April and May. 34 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Our average with runners in scoring position was just crazy it was crazy high. It's like the razor razor the Braves and now it's like we're going free for 19th runs in scoring position bullpen can't able to isn't able to just you know like, yeah. 35 00:06:47,000 --> 00:07:03,000 I think you guys off base and I don't know it's like, it just seems like the guys that are that should be stepping up and doing good for them like semi and the Seager, just like the top five in the lineup seem seem to string together any hits while the 36 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:18,000 six seven eight nine guys are starting all the rallies and scoring all the runs for them so I think yeah I think part of it is just the the big guys that's the stars are trying to do too much. 37 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:36,000 And so that with that dynamic paired with you know like the bullpen that's never been good for us. And our ability to just blow leads is astounding. Honestly, I don't even know what to say at this point just like losing to the nationals. 38 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000 He need given up seven runs into it. 39 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000 So funny. I okay so I turned the game on. 40 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:58,000 I think manana Manassas hit the first home runs like yeah, the first inning or something yeah three or four in the first run first inning, and they put up three the next I just turned the game off I was like, no, no, no, I'll just check my fantasy. 41 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000 See happen two hours. See how the players. Yeah. 42 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000 All the time. 43 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,000 It's all because Jonah I'm cut his hair. 44 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:21,000 I'm gonna haircut. I'm gonna get a haircut. Honestly, I don't I don't care what you guys say. It's just like, I don't think that hair look too bad. It didn't look too bad. I have not seen it. So I mean Brady clearly has an opinion Brady's bad. 45 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:32,000 That's all it was just I knew we cut his hair. All right. All right. Okay. Well then so we'll move right along then Rangers suck now. Good luck to you guys. Good thing it's also 46 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Yeah, well, I'm gonna break because half the team's playing in it. Anyways, carry on. The Tampa Bay Rays have been on a pretty bad streak here as of late we'll get to maybe a good segue this is the Phillies which Brady's been shopping at the 47 00:08:46,000 --> 00:09:02,000 been talking about for the last two weeks but Tampa Bay lost seven in a row coming into today six in a row coming into today they won this afternoon's game they won the final against who they play. 48 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000 Atlanta. Yeah. So they took the final game against Atlanta. Atlanta's crazy hot. 49 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:24,000 But now the O's are only two games back of Tampa Bay and the East which is nuts considering the start that Tampa Bay was on the it's just as an O's fan is crazy to see I just I have no faith in my team either like every, every time I turn a game on similar to Joe, I just expect them to 50 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:36,000 blow it. I just expect the very worst and if they win then you know what, then I'm happy but if I, you got to, low expectations means you're happy more, more of the time. 51 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:48,000 But yeah, O's are two back, we'll get into the standings here in a minute. Tampa Bay opening the door slightly they've been playing really badly just starting pitching isn't going deep, bullpen's been bad because they're super exhausted so. 52 00:09:48,000 --> 00:10:06,000 We'll go straight then from the Rays into the Phillies, because part of the Rays losing streak was getting swept by the Phillies Brady go ahead. Yes, we the Phillies just swept Tampa in Tropicana Field in Florida. 53 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:24,000 And which was unbelievable, because they're in no way did I think that was going to happen. No, and then they were just playing Atlanta and getting beat like crazy. They had to face Strider, but yeah, today former Phillies Zach Efflin got in the wind today. 54 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:38,000 So, I think that's great. He's been a monster guy for them, but on to the Phillies. Well, we've kind of been pretty hot lately. I like where we're at, being halfway done. 55 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:54,000 We are off the top of my head, 1112 games out from Atlanta. Seven over 500. Yeah, and we're like two, two and a half from Miami who I don't know how is second in the division right now. 56 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:12,000 Miami's player. They're bound to cool down, but no, he's got hot around this time last year. So I'm looking. I'm all ups from here. Yeah, obviously. But the main concern is Bryce Harper getting hit in the elbow last night. 57 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Yeah, I did see that. Yeah. Who was it? They were playing Miami Miami. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw Garrett hit him in the elbow. Yeah. Yeah, which was crazy. 58 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:32,000 He just I saw the thing. It just said he's pretty sore, but he's transitioning to play first base anytime after the All-Star break actually. Okay. 59 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:53,000 And that'll be big because then I feel like he even says in that article from the press that he just doesn't feel same powers not there, which I was telling Kenji about last week or the week before just it does not look like he's fully getting. 60 00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Do you think do you think they rushed him back? Do you think he rushed back? And that's why power numbers are lagging or is it pitch clock or like, you know, what, what could it be that wire the power numbers? 61 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:24,000 Well, I was telling Kenji it's weird because with the arm issue, I don't feel like I obviously the arm coming back early is probably part of it. But I was like, I just feel like he's not in like the lower half of his swing. Like it's different. It doesn't look the same. 62 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:40,000 Yeah, it's literally it has nothing to do with his arm. Right. It looks like legs from what I can tell. But obviously the arm plays a factor. But hopefully playing in the field kind of takes some stress out of it gets warbler out of the outfield. 63 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:47,000 If they're smart, big. Yeah. 64 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:59,000 Not to get super nerdy on everybody because I know this is not a nerd podcast. His expected batting average is only like 10 points lower than it was last year. 65 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:07,000 It's 271. He's had that he's had either that same level or lower 2019 2018 2016. 66 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:22,000 So he's not like, I think he's just getting unlucky. I don't know where the power is gone. But he still has he's still top 10% of the league in exit below. Maybe launching. I still feel like he like gets good swings. It's just like not powerful at all. 67 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Yeah, like he's hitting nearly 300. 68 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000 It's not leading the yards like he's just not doing anything. 69 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:43,000 Yeah. But honestly, I have a new DFA player on the team. Hey, we're waiting on that. Don't don't don't drop it. 70 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:56,000 Don't drop it. That's how we finish them. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. Stick around. I think the main reason the Phillies have had so much success lately is and I've seen multiple MLB sources say the same thing. 71 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:09,000 The starting pitching has been so much better lately. No has been on his game to cross the board. Yeah, like Rangers Suarez everyone fantasy. 72 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Wheeler Nola. It's just improving. And so the offense can get the job done when we're not dealing with five runs in three innings every right. All nothing but high hopes. Also, to before we transition to the next part. 73 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:42,000 The draft is on and the first pick has came in. Yeah, I thought you were gonna. Yeah, go ahead. You're a college baseball guy. As expected, it was Paul Skeens from LSU. Yep. I don't know if anybody watched the College World Series. 74 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:58,000 I do. I've never seen a pitcher like that in college. I've never seen. I had like the like the shout out game like the pitch off with the other pitcher. Yes. Yeah. Yes. In the wake game. 75 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:13,000 Hold your microphone closer Kenji. Yeah, you sound like you're underwater. People want to hear your beautiful. He threw it out because I don't want my AC to be blaring into your guys. You can't hear your AC. We can't even hear you anymore. 76 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Kenji. That's actually a good thing. Never mind. Don't change anything. He was 125 inches into that outing. Still pumping 101. Yeah, Skeens is gross. Unbelievable. Yeah. And I got the second pick right here. Nationals are up there on the podium. I got it pulled up. 77 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Yeah. I freaking hate Rod Mayfair. I was gonna say I was watching his speech just barely. I'm like, dude. Cruz. Don't Cruz LSU to Washington. Dylan Cruz. Please. Now Langford to Detroit for sure. Right. Yeah, that's that's a Detroit pick. I feel it just screams. 78 00:15:51,000 --> 00:16:10,000 That sounds like Detroit. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I mean, I like that pick for him. Anyway, this isn't a draft pod. Maybe it will be one day. The Braves are 27 and five in their last 32 games. As good as the Phillies have been playing, the Braves have been on an all time tear. 79 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:30,000 We can't catch up. There's no. Yeah, it's just differential during that time. I'm not sure during that time, but their differential is 147 plus 147. Here I could look at the last month. Hang on, dude. But it's crazy because we literally can't do anything like we go. We're winning. We won. 80 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:52,000 Yeah, Roe Roe games and we can't catch. We can't get any leeway room because they just keep. Yeah, they're so they're insane for reference. Kenji a month ago, their run differential was plus 58. Now it's plus 147 in a month. They added 100 to their run differential, which is unbelievable. 81 00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:08,000 Atlanta's gone in an all time tear. They're pitching great. The bullpen is great. They're just hitting like nobody's business either. So Brady probably watches more Braves games than I do. But Braves have been crazy. It's unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah. They've been nuts. 82 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:26,000 So then I guess now as we get to this, the last couple points are Kenji. First of all, I mean, you're our baseball expert. How how do you feel about the state of the game? Are you enjoying yourself? Like, do you want to turn your TV off or I mean, the angels have been. 83 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:44,000 Now you guys got hurt. Where are you? Where are you at? Angels? Just talk to me, man. Well, I'm not as excited to watch baseball as I was earlier on. Okay. Mainly because I don't know the games are kind of boring and I'm tired of the ads. 84 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Like seriously so tired of the same same commercials that will be plays. And it's so bad. I can't. I just like, oh, my name's Jay. I bought my new house or whatever. Oh my gosh. That voice triggers me so much. 85 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:17,000 I'm not a terrible person, but that lady pisses me off so much. And so even if I am enjoying a game that just kind of ruins my mood as weird as that is, I get triggered by tiny small things like that. So no, baseball is not as fun as it used to be. 86 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:36,000 Kenji's known haters. For some reason, all their money makes some new stupid commercial to piss me off with. Only Kenji would let a bunch of commercials bother him from getting it off. I am so extremely bothered by the commercials. It's not Trout either. It's the commercials. 87 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Yeah, it's not. It's not trying to hurting his hand. It's not. Oh, tiny might get treated. Honestly, Trout, what's he done for my team? He struck out like four times a game and what goes one for two every now and then. Great. You had a couple home runs. 88 00:18:48,000 --> 00:19:05,000 Don't care. You struck out four times when all tiny needs you to hit him in. Yeah. I don't care. It doesn't matter because so the rest of our team, quite frankly, like the past three weeks, I've had five guys or six guys that I've never even heard of, which is not crazy or anything, but a bunch of nobodies. 89 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:24,000 They traded from AAA or whatever or just picked off the streets and are playing for us and they suck. Everyone's hitting 230. Our pitching sucks. I used to brag about how good our bullpen was and now it's like the worst. Yeah, it just sucks. 90 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:51,000 So you just are mad. You just don't like like right now. Just yeah, just fresh. The commercials, those freaking credit commercials, whatever they are. Stupid commercials, dude. Yeah. Yeah. I like the baseball Zen. Remember those ones? Oh my gosh. No. I talked to Brady about those. The baseball Zen ones. Yeah. I swear. April. I it was unbelievable. It was it was the only commercial they had. Yeah. Before they got all these other bum commercials. Yeah. 91 00:19:51,000 --> 00:20:08,000 They would just use baseball Zen being where they still have them where it's like the base, like the the base track. Yeah. That kind of goes down. Yeah. It's so they still have that. But it used to be so much worse. It used to be so bad. Now you got the commercial with jazz playing the show. Yeah. 92 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Aren't you injured? Second time this year. Aren't you underperforming so bad? Yeah. How's that bleak jazz? Worst cover boy. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. No, please. Go ahead. I wasn't going to move on. No, go ahead. Wait. No, no, no, no, please. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. There you go. Okay. I really hate it. 93 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:59,000 I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. There you go. Okay. Really? That's surprising. Okay. I just know that. No. He's our positivity guy. Can you use our positivity guy? Yeah. I guess not to beat a dead horse. Is O'Tonny getting traded? Yes or no? Quick answer. Oh, because he's not going in there. He's going to stand there. You can't say it without laughing. That's a bad sign. 94 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:28,000 Ah, dude. It's... Kenji, imagine instead of having him, you spend that 60 million a year and go get like five huge players for your team. You know, I'd rather just cut Hunter Renfro and literally everybody else from my squad and maybe just start new. There you go. Maybe just go for the draft picks. Just do the exact same thing. Just start everybody that was in the college baseball last year. 95 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:47,000 I feel like Kenji would be a great general manager. Like the angels to hire him. The front office. Just like let him manage the team for one month. Just like see how they do. I would be paying so much for that. 96 00:21:47,000 --> 00:22:00,000 Say that again, Kenji. Japanese players? Obviously, because we won the WBC. So we'd actually kick everybody's trash. You're right. You're right. Just get all Japanese players and you might actually... you could win. Yeah. 97 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:16,000 Except for Higashioka. That guy sucks. Kyle Higashioka. The Yankees catcher. I hate that guy. Yankees slander is all over. Best day of my life. Speaking, I wasn't even planning on talking about this. O's beat the piss out of the Yankees 14. 98 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:32,000 The other night. We have two good friends that are actually Yankee fans. I texted both of them and just let them know that they could lick my you know what. Because I hate the Yankees. There's nothing I dislike more than the Yankees. I can't stand them. 99 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Guys explain to me how they have... how many wins do they have? 49 wins? 49? Because there's a Yankee, man. I don't know. They don't have a great run differential. That's a problem. They only have a plus 20. Money does buy a lot of stuff. Money, period. 100 00:22:52,000 --> 00:23:03,000 Their players suck. They're barely hovering at 500 without Judge is the thing. They're getting good pitching. They're getting good pitching. Hermann, since his perfect game has been good. Cole's always good. 101 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:16,000 Oh, Hermann got the shell back. Cole Rodin's back. Rodin is back now. He threw a perfect game the other day. Yeah. And Rizzo's taken some of the load. Who Joe hasn't fantasy as of note. 102 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Rizzo's good. Who else do they have? Lemahue's actually been bad. It's a great question honestly because you look at that team and the stats and you wonder how they're right there with Toronto and Boston. Boston isn't good either though, but Toronto should be good. 103 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:45,000 My thing is, I was about to say, Boston when I watch them play, they look awesome. Their offense is disgusting. Especially the last two weeks. They're so freaking good. But their pitching sucks. Right? And it's a shame that that division is just insane. 104 00:23:45,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Yeah. I mean, I just hate the Yankees. I can't stand them. So it was good. We split four with them in New York. So we've tied the season series. We have three in Baltimore. I think, and that's the last time we see them, which I'm so excited for. But yeah, that's up to the Yankees. 105 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:18,000 I think that's it for that. Brady, speak on the draft a little bit. Max Clark just went three to Detroit. And then now Texas is on the clock. Joe, do you want pitching here? 106 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,000 Honestly, they might get Langford. Yeah. 107 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000 I think Langford falling this far is kind of wild. 108 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:40,000 I don't think so. They have pictures there. They have louders there, dolanders there. Some other guys are there. Anyway, with that being said, first half now coming to an end means All-Star week. So the futures game was yesterday. 109 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:55,000 As of this recording, this is Sunday, the 9th. Tomorrow is the home run derby. And then Tuesday is the All-Star game. So we're going to run through really fast. Does everybody have the field? Kenji, do you even know who's hitting in the home run derby? 110 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000 I looked at it once and I wasn't really impressed. 111 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:10,000 I think it's actually going to be, I think it's a great field. But I want to hear everybody's predictions for the derby. Anybody that minds a prize. And then we'll go to the All-Star game. 112 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:20,000 All right. Well, Brady, just kick us off. Let's do it. Well, so first of all, I have some beef because there is not one lefty in the home run derby. 113 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,000 I know Adley is going to hit left handed, but it's not the same. 114 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:39,000 I do have a pick. First of all, I don't like how it's set up. Well, how they put it, I guess, because Vlad and Mookie Betts have to go up against each other in the first round. 115 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:53,000 I feel like they're both heavy candidates. But my personal candidate, having gone so far the last time he was in it, my prediction, obviously Vlad Guerrero Jr. 116 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000 Okay, Vlad Guerrero. 117 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,000 That's respectable. 118 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000 Keep an eye on Luis Robert though. 119 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000 Oh, Lubob. Keep an eye on Lubob. We're not a Lubob show. 120 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000 That was going to be my dark horse. 121 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:09,000 I feel like it's going to be either him or just Alonso again. 122 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000 Yeah. That boy just built the hill. 123 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000 Here's the Rangers pick. Hold on. 124 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000 Oh, Langford. Langford. 125 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000 All right. Anyway, go ahead. Home run derby, Joe. 126 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:27,000 What was I going to say? Yeah, Lubob. I mean, he's a goat. 127 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:35,000 I mean, obviously, Pete's won it three times now. So he's definitely... what seat is he? 128 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,000 Dude, he plays Julio Rodriguez round one. 129 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Yeah. I feel like Julio's either just going to... 130 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000 But Julio's at home. Julio's at home. 131 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:50,000 Julio is at home, but how's he hitting at home this season? That's all I'm going to say. 132 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:57,000 Oh, man. He's the only dude to strike out in the home run. 133 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:06,000 Clearly, he's in a better position than me. I'm living in my parents' pages, so I can't say anything, but he's been very underperforming. 134 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:15,000 The only player to win the home run derby at home is the goat himself, Bryce Harper. 135 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000 The goat himself is a bit of a stretch, but I mean... 136 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000 I don't think J-Rod has what it takes to do it. 137 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:32,000 He did great last year. Side note, if you leave your team and then the next year they go on to win a World Series, it doesn't make you the goat, but I'm sorry. 138 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000 It's a fair point. It's fair. 139 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Sorry. Never mind. Kenji, who's winning the home run derby? 140 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,000 Well, I'll tell you how I personally feel about all of these guys, okay? 141 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000 Perfect. That's what the people need to hear. 142 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000 Luis Robert Jr. 143 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000 Dog. No. 144 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000 He's not bad. I don't know. 145 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:03,000 Avid Ruddman, I don't understand why the frick he's in the home run derby. When he hits, he looks like an idiot. That's all I'm saying. 146 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000 He looks like an idiot when he hits? 147 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000 His batting stance is so lame. 148 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,000 Alright, everybody. Welcome to Kenji's last episode of the show. 149 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,000 P. Alonzo also has an insanely stupid batting stance, but he actually hits home runs. 150 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000 So I wouldn't know anything. 151 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000 Julio Rodriguez, I didn't watch baseball last year, so to me he's just some bum off the street. 152 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000 Mookie Betts I think is insane. 153 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,000 Alright. 154 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000 Guerrero. How do you...Vladdy? I don't know how to say his last name. 155 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,000 Guerrero? 156 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Guerrero G. 157 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,000 He knocks. He's like nine home runs, and you're telling me he's going to win the home run derby? 158 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,000 Yep, absolutely. 159 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,000 Jail. 160 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,000 Prison time. 161 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000 I know he's a good player. I know he's a good player. 162 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000 Where's the clown horn? Don't we have the clown horn? 163 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000 Yeah, yeah. Hold on. You're wrong. 164 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:53,000 Garcia. Garcia's on my team, so I have to root for him, but he's not going to win. 165 00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Randy Arreza-Rena, you all know I stole that. So I think Mookie Betts is going to win. There you go. 166 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,000 I love it. 167 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000 Mookie? 168 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:09,000 Kenji, Vlad was like...how old was Vlad last time he was in the derby? He was like 20 years old. 169 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000 I don't know, but he set a record. He set a record. 170 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000 I've watched him play. I've watched him hit before the past. He was insane. 171 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000 But this year he's just like... 172 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000 He's just depressing to watch. 173 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:26,000 I just...I do not want to see Pete win it again. And what better candidate to go knock him out than Vlad? 174 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Sure. 175 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:34,000 I mean, Kenji, to give you a reference here, I have my favorite side, baseball savant from my advanced stats. 176 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:41,000 Vlad Jr. is still having an insane year by all of the other metrics. Excuse me. 177 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:51,000 So he only has 13 homers on the year, but he's 98 percentile, exit below, hard hit percentage on base, expected batting average, expected slugging. 178 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,000 He's going to have a good second half, but to say he's not having a good year, just that wises. 179 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000 Well, I play fantasy, so if you don't benefit me, if you don't look good in fantasy, remember... 180 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000 I saw it on your stream. 181 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000 I know, but I've seen him on fantasy. 182 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000 We'd like to thank Kenji for his time here with us this week. 183 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,000 Isn't it an honor, guys? I hope this show goes somewhere. 184 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000 Yeah, definitely. 185 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,000 We'll remember you when this takes off. 186 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000 We'll have you on for honor. 187 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,000 Yeah, we'll do a yearly clown episode. 188 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000 I'm just kidding. 189 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:38,000 I'm going to be honest, my pick for the home run derby, I mean, if I say Adley, do I have to put the clown horn on myself? 190 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000 I mean, come on, you're an OZ fan, so it's fair to say that, right? 191 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,000 It's fair, but I would love to hear who else. I'd love to hear second option. 192 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,000 Okay, I want Adley to win because I think he's a lefty hitter. He's giving me the mo... 193 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:58,000 He has such a smooth swing, such a smooth swing. I know Kenji was hating on his swing, but that's why I'm going to come home. 194 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000 I mean, he's batting stats, not his swing. He has a good swing, but batting stats... 195 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Yeah, batting stats is a little strange, but I love his swing. I think he'll challenge Luis Robert. 196 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:13,000 It's also Adley's home stadium, like he grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so he's going to have a bunch of family there. 197 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:21,000 So I'll give Adley a puncher's chance at beating Luba, but if I had to pick, this is going to be boring. 198 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000 Polar Bear runs it again. 199 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000 Yeah, I mean, come on. 200 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:31,000 He's automatic in these things. I think Pete Lelanzo beats... 201 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,000 I think he beats Jayrod probably handily, and then I think he faces... 202 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,000 Is it Vlad next round then if he beats Smoky? 203 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,000 No, I don't...actually maybe. 204 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,000 If it's how a normal bracket is set up, he would then face Vlad. 205 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000 Hold on, I'm going to get it for the people. 206 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000 What do the numbers mean on their names? 207 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,000 Just seeds. 208 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,000 I think it's seeded based on number of home runs this season. 209 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,000 Yeah, okay. 210 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000 So I think the winner of one and eight play the winner of three and six. 211 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,000 No, I think it's... 212 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000 Where is it? 213 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,000 I have it here. 214 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:10,000 Yeah, I have it here. It's Luis Robert, Adley Rutchman, Adolese Garcia, and Randy Rosarena. 215 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,000 Yuki Betts, Vlad Jr., Pete Lelanzo, Julio. 216 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:22,000 So if Robert wins and he faces the winner of Garcia and a Rosarena, I think a Rosarena is going to hit some tanks. 217 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000 He's just going to be there for the show. He just wants to attack. 218 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000 He's just going to be like, can you do it? 219 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000 Joe, do you like Randy Rosarena? 220 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000 No. 221 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:39,000 I think it's because he robbed a Japanese player in the WBC during the Mexico game. 222 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:45,000 No, I asked him. I asked that question fully knowing Kenji actually has a strong hatred for Randy Rosarena. 223 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,000 Joe, what do we think about Adolese? 224 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000 Yeah, I know. We didn't hear anything about him. 225 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:56,000 I mean, I love Adolese. He's huge. He's got the biggest biceps on the team. 226 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000 Actually, no, Chapman came in. 227 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000 Yeah, Chapman's there. 228 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000 What about Dave Dunning? 229 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000 Sorry, I spoke a little too soon. 230 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:12,000 Adolese, I feel like he's just got the same chance as everyone else. 231 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:19,000 I feel like this is kind of like a hot take. I feel like he's just going to go out in the first round. 232 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000 Randy's going to be there. I feel like that's just going to happen. 233 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:33,000 Adolese is going to choke. Randy's just like, he's riding on the high of the whole crowd going for him because I feel like he's just, the crowd just loves him. 234 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,000 And Randy's probably going to pull it off his butt and beat Adolese. 235 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000 I don't think that's going to happen. 236 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:47,000 I want Garcia to win, but there's a lot of good players in the home run derby this year. 237 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000 Add Lee Richmond to win the whole thing. 238 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000 What happens when you win it? 239 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,000 You get a bunch of money. Oh crap, ton of money in a car, I think. 240 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,000 Hasn't? 241 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,000 No, okay. 242 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000 That's the MVP. 243 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000 Oh, you're right. You're right. You're right. 244 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000 They get a trophy. 245 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000 You get a trophy and a giant paycheck. 246 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000 I could use that paycheck. 247 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000 I'm going to give it to all of you at this point. 248 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,000 Yeah, tell Pete to donate it to you, Joe. 249 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000 Donate to the pod. 250 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000 Yeah. 251 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaking of the home run derby and the All-Star week as I said before, All-Star game MVP. 252 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,000 Brady just kind of mentioned it. 253 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000 Knowing the rosters, knowing who's, I don't think, do we have the starting pitchers? 254 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:36,000 I know we have the lineups, but any early predictions for who's winning All-Star MVP? 255 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,000 Brady, change you, Joe? 256 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,000 I have to sleep. 257 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:46,000 Well, the AL seems to win it every year, so I feel like we can give them both spades here. 258 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:53,000 Honestly, I don't think anyone really stands out now that the fact of Otani's not starting the home run derby. 259 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000 He's going to hit. He's not going to pitch. 260 00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,000 He's not starting the All-Star game. He's on the mound. 261 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:09,000 So I really don't know, but just pure instinct, Corey Seeger for the AL. 262 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,000 Hi. 263 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:17,000 It all depends who decides to hit the home run is basically what it is. 264 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:23,000 And honestly, as much as I could say for the NL, it would be off the bench Nick Castellanos. 265 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000 I don't think that's really going to happen. 266 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000 Who's going to die? 267 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:32,000 Something's got to go wrong in order for him. 268 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000 There's been a car accident outside of the Seattle Mariners field. 269 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,000 Oh, Cassiana with a new drive left field. 270 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,000 You know what's going to happen? 271 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,000 I'll tell you right now exactly what's going to happen for the World Series and the All-Star game. 272 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000 They do the stand up to cancer. 273 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,000 They do that in the middle of the game right after the stand up to cancer. 274 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000 They're going to pinch hit Castellanos and he's going to hit a 450 foot nuke dead. 275 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,000 So if that happens, I would die. 276 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,000 I think the internet would lose its mind. 277 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000 I think the internet would lose its mind. 278 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,000 It would be unbelievable. 279 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000 It would be so funny. 280 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,000 It would be crazy. 281 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:12,000 But to finish what I started here, the NL really just doesn't. 282 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000 So no one stands out. 283 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,000 But if I really had to put someone in there, move bets again. 284 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000 Where's Acuna? 285 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000 Honestly, Acuna is by everyone's ideal. 286 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000 Orvin Carroll? 287 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:34,000 It's the all-star MVP is who hits the home run. 288 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000 Who hits the first home run. 289 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000 It's true though. 290 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,000 It's true. 291 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000 It's how it is every time. 292 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:45,000 So honestly, my bets are either Dodgers player, Freddie or Wicky. 293 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000 Geraldo Perdomo is who you're making bets. 294 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,000 Yes. 295 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,000 Okay. 296 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000 Has it ever been a pitcher? 297 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000 Whitmerefield actually. 298 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,000 Whitmerefield. 299 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,000 Definitely not. 300 00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,000 Oh yeah. 301 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,000 Joe, who's your all-star MVP? 302 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000 I haven't really given it much thought. 303 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000 Okay. 304 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,000 Just preliminary, just based on the roster, who you know is going to be there. 305 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,000 Who you got? 306 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000 I feel like I'm starting with the NL. 307 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,000 Like I said, Acuna. 308 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,000 Acuna is a star, man. 309 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000 He's just the guy. 310 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:27,000 AL, like what if, just like what if, Jonah Heim just goes yard. 311 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000 0-60. 312 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,000 I mean like honestly, he's due for another home run. 313 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,000 He hasn't hit one in a few games. 314 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,000 I feel like, you know, he's due for one. 315 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000 So I'm going to say Jonah Heim for AL and VP. 316 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000 Just like watch. 317 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000 Young, respectfully, I don't think so. 318 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,000 But you know, Heim has a chance. 319 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,000 Heim has a chance. 320 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000 Kenji, don't say Otani. 321 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,000 I was just going to say Mookie fan. 322 00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,000 Okay. 323 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,000 Mookie. 324 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,000 Number one Mookie fan. 325 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000 Otani, I feel like though Otani has a shock factor to him. 326 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:09,000 If he hits like a double and a stolen base, he'll win MVP because people love him. 327 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000 Is it one game or two games? 328 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,000 It's one. 329 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,000 Just one. 330 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,000 And he'll only get one or two at bat's tops. 331 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,000 Oh, this like switch out. 332 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,000 Yeah. 333 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,000 Yeah, because there's a lot of reserves. 334 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000 Well, here Otani's going to hit a triple and a homer. 335 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000 Triple and a homer, wow. 336 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000 That would win him MVP easy. 337 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000 That would totally do it. 338 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000 Brent Rooker is my pick. 339 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:36,000 No, I'm just kidding. 340 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:40,000 No, I think my sleeper pick, I'll do my sleeper and then my real one. 341 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000 Austin Hayes is starting for the AL in left field. 342 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000 Oh yeah. 343 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,000 He's number two in average for the American League. 344 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:53,000 I think he could easily, just as easily hit a single and stolen base or hit something in the gap or go yard. 345 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,000 But she hit a 420 foot nuke today. 346 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000 Hayes is my sleeper. 347 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000 Orioles bias, I know. 348 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:10,000 But then as for Orlando RC, Mookie Betts is a safe bet. 349 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,000 I'm going to say Freddie Freeman. 350 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000 Just because. 351 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000 Has he ever won it? 352 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000 I don't know. 353 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,000 Maybe. 354 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000 What was your question, Indri? 355 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000 Has he ever won it before? 356 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000 No, I don't believe so. 357 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000 Mookie has though. 358 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,000 You have Mookie? 359 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,000 Mookie has, yeah. 360 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000 Mookie has. 361 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000 He's not important. 362 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,000 So I think Freddie's my bet if I had to give a nominee from each. 363 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000 I'd go Freddie Freeman from the NL. 364 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,000 And Hayes is my floater one from the AL. 365 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000 But I also like Jose Ramirez. 366 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000 That would probably be my fish. 367 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,000 Yeah, J Ram. 368 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000 I like J Ram. 369 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000 He's fit for these kind of games. 370 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000 So that's my pick there. 371 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,000 We already talked a little bit about the standings. 372 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000 I'll just briefly brush through them because I know nobody really cares. 373 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000 Just for those, if there's any changes. 374 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000 Cleveland is still on top of the central. 375 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000 Tampa is still on top of the east. 376 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,000 Cleveland is barely hanging on to the AL mid. 377 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,000 Dallas, I mean not Dallas, Texas is barely hanging on as well. 378 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000 Two games to Houston. 379 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000 Seattle is also 7-3 in their last 10. 380 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000 They're getting hot. 381 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000 And then those poor angels. 382 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,000 That's why they're just sitting there in the dumpster. 383 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,000 So, anything, anybody want to say about the American League standings wise? 384 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000 No, let's move on please. 385 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,000 No, it's the AL. 386 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000 It's the AL mid. 387 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000 Atlanta is, like we mentioned before, extremely hot. 388 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,000 Eight and a half up on Miami. 389 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000 Cincinnati is playing great ball. 390 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000 They just, I believe, took two out of three from Milwaukee. 391 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,000 Cubs aren't great. 392 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,000 Dodgers and Arizona are tied for the lead in the NL west. 393 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000 And the Giants are only two and a half back. 394 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,000 San Diego is also getting hot. 395 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,000 They've been playing great ball. 396 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000 So, NL west should get exciting. 397 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000 But that's the brief update on the standings. 398 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,000 And then everybody's favorite part, the one that Brady tried to mention earlier, 399 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000 the DFA watch and then the players to watch. 400 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,000 So, Brady, do you just want to kick us right off? 401 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,000 I know you've probably been chopping at the bit. 402 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,000 Well, who's your DFA watch? 403 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000 Who's getting cut right BF now? 404 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,000 I can't stand him, but it's Junior Marte. 405 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,000 It's like junior but with a Y. 406 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000 Okay. 407 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000 Not a name podcast. 408 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,000 Hear me out. 409 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000 Junior Marte. 410 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,000 He does throw gas from the mound. 411 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,000 He does throw over 100. 412 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:37,000 But he's thrown back-to-back games the week I was gone. 413 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,000 He threw back-to-back games and let up two, three runs in an inning. 414 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:46,000 Just walk, walk, hit, walk, home run. 415 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000 Just he can't figure it out. 416 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:54,000 And it's killing us because we have Hoffman now actually. 417 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000 He's been doing really well. 418 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,000 He needs to be our long relief guy. 419 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,000 He's not. 420 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,000 He's our Kimbrough throws too many innings. 421 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,000 Let's throw him in. 422 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000 Yeah. 423 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000 But he needs to be put where Marte is right now. 424 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:14,000 And I swear we never see anything from Sir Anthony Dominguez. 425 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,000 He barely throws innings. 426 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,000 And it's so sad because he was unbelievable last year. 427 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000 So we just need to, we don't need him. 428 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000 So just kind of send him to AAA. 429 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,000 Send him down. 430 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000 Send him to AAA. 431 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,000 Send him down. 432 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,000 And then player to watch, I guess, do we want to do player to watch as its own? 433 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,000 Sure. 434 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,000 Yeah. 435 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,000 I mean, you could just do yours now. 436 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,000 We can just do both of them in the same, in the same same. 437 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:44,000 I mean, last time we did it, last time I was here, I told you guys Bryson's thought and 438 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,000 he's been unbelievable. 439 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000 And it's been crazy. 440 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:56,000 But the player to watch, aside from keeping him in mind, Christian Pache. 441 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,000 Wow. 442 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:05,000 He hit a, he hit a water, I guess it was a go ahead home run top of the ninth last, the 443 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000 other day against Tampa or no. 444 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,000 Nope. 445 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,000 Yeah. 446 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,000 It was against the Marlins. 447 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,000 Yeah. 448 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,000 Yeah. 449 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,000 Idiots. 450 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:21,000 Oh, what kind of, he almost jumped like two inches off the ground. 451 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,000 Oh, funny. 452 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,000 But so big time. 453 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000 He's young too. 454 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:31,000 We, he doesn't play all every day, but he's definitely one of those players that's a really 455 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,000 young guy. 456 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000 Fun to watch. 457 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000 Yeah. 458 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000 Okay. 459 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,000 All right. 460 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,000 Joe, Kenji. 461 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,000 All right. 462 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000 I'm going to go. 463 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:50,000 Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, we're paying this dude 12 million a year to go up seven 464 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,000 runs against the nationals in three innings. 465 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,000 How did I know that was coming? 466 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000 Dude is it's so frustrating. 467 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:05,000 I, I, I, I, I'm like stuttering because I can't even like, I can't even put into words. 468 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:10,000 Like every time I just say, all right, it's Andrew Hine day today. 469 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,000 I see him see that he's starting. 470 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,000 I'm like, like, Oh, better not put the game on. 471 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000 Good thing I have work at night. 472 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:21,000 Cause I don't have to watch the Rangers play because it's every time it's so it's, it's 473 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,000 just so frustrating, right? 474 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,000 He walks way too many guys and his stupid pitching form. 475 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,000 I don't know how he's able to throw mid nineties with that. 476 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000 He, he just, it's everything about him. 477 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,000 Like if he, if he ever watches this, like I'm, I love you, Andrew Hine. 478 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:42,000 Thanks for your contribution to the Rangers, but like you should go contribute to round 479 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:49,000 rock AAA and kind of, you know, round rock needs some help. 480 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,000 We sent a few guys down there already. 481 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,000 Hopefully you can motivate them to kind of pick it up or something. 482 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,000 Maybe they can motivate you to pick it up because like, okay. 483 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,000 His ERA last seven days over seven. 484 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,000 It's a tough one to swallow. 485 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,000 So that's like, that's all I'm going to say about Andrew Hine. 486 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,000 I don't want to rip into him too much because he has had a few good outings. 487 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,000 So it's just like, you know, it's, he's a very on and off guy, but he's been on the 488 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,000 off side for a little too long and it's really disappointing and it's taking my 489 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,000 happiness away. 490 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,000 And so I'll just, I'll just throw that out there. 491 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,000 Yeah. 492 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,000 Okay. 493 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000 That's it. 494 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,000 That's it for me. 495 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,000 Well, who do we want to watch? 496 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,000 Who's your player to watch? 497 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000 All right. 498 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,000 Who knows who Travis Jankowski is? 499 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,000 Wow. 500 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000 He's a dog. 501 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,000 Listen. 502 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000 Okay. 503 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,000 So the only Houston game I watched was when they, when they lost 11 to 10 or 12 to 11. 504 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,000 I can't remember, but Travis Jankowski, first home run of the season, three run bomb. 505 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,000 No doubter. 506 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000 First of all, his hair is sexy. 507 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,000 Like, come on now. 508 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,000 You can't tell me that Jankowski doesn't have beautiful hair. 509 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,000 Kenji, I know you're like shaking your head, but come on. 510 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000 Like you got to pay respect where it's due and dude is fast. 511 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,000 Dude's a bunny. 512 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,000 Dude's good in the field. 513 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,000 It's just like, you know, he's, he's on the come up. 514 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,000 We have Duran who's been playing in left field the whole time, but recently Oh, 515 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,000 she's starting Jankowski and Grossman a little more left field. 516 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:24,000 And actually Grossman was on my, on the DFA watch a few weeks ago, but Jankowski 517 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,000 he's been, he's been stepping it up. 518 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000 He had five or RBI is like I said, I gave him against Houston. 519 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000 So that was like, you know, big outing for him. 520 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,000 And hopefully he has, he has a brighter future with the Rangers. 521 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,000 I would like to see more of him in the, in the left field and hopefully he can, 522 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,000 you know, produce some more and earn him a starting spot. 523 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,000 Yeah. 524 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,000 Yeah. 525 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,000 All right. 526 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,000 All right. 527 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,000 Kenji, do you want to go? 528 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,000 Do you want me to go? 529 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,000 I can go. 530 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000 I won't ask any random gone, gone and gone. 531 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000 I want to bury like a thousand feet into the ground. 532 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,000 Cause I can't stand this guy. 533 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,000 He's made of glass. 534 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,000 He's made of. 535 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,000 I've seen him play like, well, I've watched almost every angels game. 536 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,000 I think I've seen him play like four games. 537 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,000 Yeah. 538 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:09,000 Which is like, of course I'm over-exaggerating, but like probably guys sucks. 539 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,000 He's so bad. 540 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000 Seven years, 245 million. 541 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000 I just looked up the contract. 542 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,000 That means like I have like what it's three years into it. 543 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,000 Four more years of this rubbish. 544 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,000 Yeah. 545 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000 I, I, I hate him. 546 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,000 All right. 547 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,000 Okay. 548 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,000 Play to watch. 549 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,000 No, I'm not. 550 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,000 He's a positivity guru. 551 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,000 I know you're my guy. 552 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,000 Cause he's just, okay. 553 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,000 I mean, I don't know. 554 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,000 He, he, what he was kind of pretty bad last year. 555 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,000 I kind of looked at his stats and was watching the Red Sox game. 556 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,000 They were talking about him. 557 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,000 But he's really fast. 558 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,000 Right. 559 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,000 It's fantastic. 560 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000 When he gets on like they score. 561 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,000 Like their offense is so different when he's in the lineup. 562 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,000 He's got a good bat. 563 00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,000 He's got a really good bat. 564 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:04,000 I mean, I don't know if he's just hot or feel like he's actually going to be 565 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,000 that really good player in the league or not, but I love watching him hit. 566 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,000 It's super fun. 567 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,000 I love watching him like on basis too. 568 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,000 So. 569 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,000 Gotcha. 570 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,000 All right. 571 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,000 Cool. 572 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,000 So I, so then I have, I have like two or three players from a player to watch, 573 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:23,000 but I'll start with my DFA guy or Hey, Matteo, get off my team. 574 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,000 Get off my team. 575 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000 Everybody else was, go ahead. 576 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,000 What? 577 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,000 How bad is he playing? 578 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,000 Yeah. 579 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,000 So for reference, so he had a great April. 580 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,000 He even got an MLB to show like player of the month card for those. 581 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,000 I know Brady and I used to play with him all the time. 582 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,000 Yeah, but he would, he, he had three 30 in April. 583 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,000 Okay. 584 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,000 So he had three 30 in April and I just went on fan graphs and looked at his stats 585 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,000 from May 1st until today, June, July 9th. 586 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,000 Since then he had three 30 in April. 587 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:58,000 He's hitting one 51 with a 202 on base percentage. 588 00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,000 Yeah. 589 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:05,000 He has it with a 202 on base percentage, 30% of the time he's striking out. 590 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,000 Like there he is a wasted roster spot. 591 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,000 He's a joke. 592 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,000 He needs to go down to single a Frederick Keys. 593 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,000 The Frederick Keys need a short stop. 594 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,000 I think he would fit in great there. 595 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000 He's still probably only at 220 down there. 596 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,000 I love you Jorge, Matteo. 597 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,000 You can fly, but it's been such a bad streak. 598 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:31,000 Every about he has, I got to breathe. 599 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:36,000 They played, I know they played in Tampa against Tyler Glass now a couple of weeks ago, 600 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,000 or maybe even earlier this last week. 601 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,000 And it was the most abysmal bad I've ever seen. 602 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,000 Tyler Glass did not throw a single slider within a foot of the strike zone. 603 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000 And he swung over three of them. 604 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,000 One, two, three, strike out. 605 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,000 He's not even remotely, I could go do that. 606 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,000 He's not even a strike. 607 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,000 He's not even, it's just a joke. 608 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,000 So I want him gone. 609 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,000 I want him off the team. 610 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,000 The O's have a log jam with infield talent and the miners too. 611 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,000 So I just don't see a reason to keep him. 612 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,000 That's crazy. 613 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,000 That's bad. 614 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,000 Yeah. 615 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,000 I don't know why he's still up. 616 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,000 Frankly. 617 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,000 For my players to watch, I have like two or three of them. 618 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000 My first one, a little bit of bias here, Manny Machado. 619 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,000 Been scalding hot, scalding hot. 620 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,000 I know he's a big man, but he's been scalding hot of late. 621 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,000 He had two bombs again today against Scherzer. 622 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000 He had two bombs just a couple of days ago as well. 623 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000 He's just smoking the ball. 624 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000 He's finally picking it up as the Padres seem to pick it up. 625 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000 So Manny's one of my guys to watch. 626 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,000 Jordan Westberg, O's young shortstop. 627 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,000 He's been really fun to watch. 628 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:41,000 He's, I think I, during the O's game today, they showed a stat that he has the 629 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:46,000 highest batting average of any O's rookie ever in the first 10 games. 630 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,000 He's hitting hit as the best average of any O's rookie ever. 631 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,000 Which is saying something because he's facing the Yankees and the Twins, and 632 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:57,000 the Twins have the best ERA in the American League, I think, maybe before we 633 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,000 dropped 15 on them today. 634 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:05,000 And then my last one that I'm going to say is Hassan Kim. 635 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,000 Kind of crazy. 636 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,000 Hassan Kim has been kind of blowing up. 637 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000 He's been kind of blowing up. 638 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,000 He plays all over the infield. 639 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,000 He plays a great defensive infield, and he's been hitting at the top of the 640 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000 Padres lineup. 641 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000 So I'm going to get, that's kind of a sleeper one. 642 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,000 Hassan Kim, you guys watch a lot of Padres games too. 643 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,000 He's been fun. 644 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,000 So I'm going to give it to Hassan Kim. 645 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000 I'm surprised he hasn't picked up yet because I've tried to pick him up a 646 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,000 couple of times. 647 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,000 Yeah. 648 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000 This is in fantasy for those who don't know. 649 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,000 Yeah. 650 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,000 Dude, have you seen what's up with the Reds lineup? 651 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000 Like, I saw this thing. 652 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:43,000 I think most of the guys in their lineup, I'm talking like seven or eight, 653 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,000 are guys that haven't played more than 80 games in a season. 654 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,000 That's crazy. 655 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,000 That's what I'm saying. 656 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,000 The Reds cannot keep this up. 657 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,000 People will, like the Bigs will figure it out for a little bit, and then 658 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,000 they'll tear it off. 659 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,000 You got Ellie. 660 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000 You got Spencer Stearned. 661 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000 You got McClain. 662 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,000 McClain's here. 663 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,000 Yeah. 664 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,000 Jake Fraley. 665 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,000 Like, it's insane what they're doing right now. 666 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,000 So that's something I want to add on players to watch. 667 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,000 Just team the Reds. 668 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000 It's all of them. 669 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000 Like, they're all young. 670 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,000 It's like, how do they keep doing it? 671 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,000 It's crazy. 672 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,000 Yeah. 673 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,000 Well, that is all the content we have. 674 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,000 Everybody pay attention. 675 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,000 MLE draft is happening right now. 676 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,000 The game is coming out. 677 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,000 It's already over. 678 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,000 Hopefully, the Rangers miss on their draft pick again. 679 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,000 Not really, no. 680 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,000 But Langford. 681 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,000 Did they take Langford? 682 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,000 They did. 683 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,000 They did. 684 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,000 They did. 685 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:46,000 But, yeah, so everybody watch the Home Run Derby tomorrow, which is Monday, 686 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,000 the 10th, and then, of course, the All-Star game on Tuesday. 687 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,000 And then there aren't any games until Thursday or Friday. 688 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,000 I'm not sure. 689 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,000 Friday. 690 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,000 Until Friday. 691 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,000 So there aren't any games until Friday this week. 692 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,000 So we got a long week off. 693 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000 But we'll still come back and hit you guys with an episode. 694 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,000 The Rangers play the Rays. 695 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,000 So if you guys are spiritual or not, I don't really care. 696 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,000 Just pray for the Rangers on Friday. 697 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,000 Just pray for the Rangers. 698 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,000 That's just my only hope for all the listeners out there, 699 00:53:15,000 -->

Sorry. 703 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,000 OK, for a four-hour. 704 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,000 Now, listen, before we go, I did want to make this point. 705 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,000 Before we go, Joe, if you want to take a moment just to explain your hat 706 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,000 to the people before somebody watches this video, and they're like, 707 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,000 what kind of hat is Joe wearing? 708 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:40,000 So I've always had a love for amphibians, and especially frogs. 709 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,000 So as you guys can see, I'm going to... 710 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,000 So I have this hat. 711 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:50,000 I don't know what the acronym means, but here, let me take off my... 712 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,000 I'll take off my hat and show you guys. 713 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,000 So it just says, man, I love frogs. 714 00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:02,000 It expresses my love for frogs in such an amazing manner. 715 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,000 How long have you had that hat for? 716 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,000 I've had it for about six months. 717 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,000 I don't really wear it often, though, because honestly, 718 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:13,000 I should start wearing it to show my love for frogs, 719 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,000 because milf, man, I love frogs. 720 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,000 Yeah, big frog hat. 721 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:23,000 Honestly, don't ever catch me at the rainforest at night. 722 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,000 You know what I'm

00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,000 So... 730 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,000 Did you find them on Instagram? 731 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,000 I can't remember where I found it. 732 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,000 That's what you do on your phone. 733 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,000 My love for frogs just led me to this hat, 734 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,000 and I strongly believe that this was meant to be. 735 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:57,000 Me and this hat, you know, spiritual connection, milf. 736 00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,000 I don't even know what to say. 737 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000 Anybody else? 738 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,000 Anybody else got anything? 739 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,000 Nothing? 740 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,000 I'm hungry. 741 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
