"AP's sports and Mike Reeves, it was a frantic finish at the Indianapolis 500, our Tom McKay reports. Josef Newgarden used a one lap shootout to grab the lead from 2022 champ Marcus Ericsson to win the Indy 500. You know, I wasn't looking to take anyone else out of the race, but I was going to put my car on the line to win. And I was either going to win the race or I was going to end up in the wall. Newgarden driving for team owner Roger Penske survived a chaotic final 40 miles, which saw the race stop three times for Rex. Major League Baseball the rays win a wild one over the Dodgers in Tampa Bay, correspondent Steve Carney provides the details. The Tampa Bay Rays used a 7th inning RBI ground out by wander Franco to break a ten ten tie and defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 11 to ten. Both starters got hit around as Gavin stone allowed 7 runs in two innings of work, while Josh Fleming allowed ten runs in 6 innings, including 5 home runs, Tampa Bay finishes at ten game home stands 7 and three, while the Dodgers complete their longest road trip of 2023 with a four and 6 Mark. The Yankees used a 7 run third inning to defeat the Padres ten to 7, Aaron judge and Harrison Bader hit home runs to support winning pitcher Garrett Cole, who is now 6 and zero. This was a good team win today for sure. I mean, being able to kind of subdue them through the middle innings and keep the momentum. I thought played in our favor, but it's just such a luxury to have the offense. Other winners on the diamond were the guardians Orioles tigers royals, Blue Jays, brewers, reds, rockies, Astros, Marlins, Diamondbacks, Mariners, and braves on the PGA Tour emiliano grillo wins the Charles Schwab challenge in a playoff against Adam chic.

"This is boss winning game 7, but I'm like they won by one by luck. So I'm like game 7 to me is like, if you're a boss and figure not comfortable. I don't know they're not comfortable. And if you're Miami fan, you're like, you're disappointed, but you're like, okay, we can do it again. But you have the legs for it. You got the breath, you conditioning for it. You have the mental stamina to endure this again. Exactly. I don't know, man. I really don't believe they do man. I'm sure Jimmy Butler does, but this is body can handle it because you know, like I said, Jimmy can he can run against the wall every now and then and burn himself out. And now we don't know. That wall you're talking about, I was looking to see it maybe game three or four of Denver. The wall is going to be tomorrow. That's the wall bro. I think you're right. Walls game 7, man. Whatever energy he could have. You could have had along with rest. That shit be sale, bro that ship is sale. Unless it plays out of his mind, has the best career. Bam is, to me, them is a key. 'cause they're giving you shots. But you gotta make it. Yeah? Yeah, you do. Four or 5 and 6, you gotta come bring it, bro listen. If I'm slow, you gotta put Kevin Love it on that front line, man. It's not right. Grab these rebounds. He's not right. Well, you need someone. You need someone. That's not right. That's a problem. He used to start and then they took on the rotation. I think he's hurt too. It's a damn shame. That's a problem with Miami is that they're basically limping into this playoffs. Damn. Tyler hero, Victor LL depot, Kyle Lowry, Kevin Love. For your players that were giving you quality, you know, minutes, they're hurt. Listen, the window that Pat Riley's got along with the way the east is. You got to get another great player for Jimmy. Now, so what do you predict for game 7? Honestly, if I'm a betting man, I could predict a ten point difference in favor of Boston. Maybe I'd say probably ten 13 point difference to your Boston. Most of my plus 13, I could see I could see an 87 one O one type situation. I got three and a half push. I can see either team pushing. And winning narrowly. I don't see a blowout. I can't see a ten point lead for Boston. What's up, man? I'm just, I'm looking at a team who had them dead to rights, I think that's going to be psychologically spent as they are physically spent. But more psychologically. Like, you know, like, you know, at this point, everybody's, you know, physically spend and stuff like that, but your body adjusts. Psychologically speaking, I think then boys is done, bro, I really do. You know, I don't think so. This is, this is the very worst case scenario for Miami. I think this is something they can salivate. Because if you think about their AC, no, they shouldn't be here, but they should be, but you are. So it's like, okay, if punch way above their way, but I think they've reached their, I think they reach their maximum, man. I really do. I got a three and a half. I think they have a Vegas guy at three and a half. Could usually when there's three and a half, that means you figure the home team. So usually when it comes to sports bets, if you see a plus negative three negative 7 or negative ten, they favor the home team. But I think they got a three and a half. So it was three and a half that means that it's a push. Listen, I'm looking at momentum. I mean, I don't see my ultimate Boston. Games four and 5. Yes. Game 6 to me, I look as a fluke. I think it's the same bet, bro. It was the hand of a guy that got that child 'cause they had less time, like if everybody was 2.1 on the clock, they're outta here. They're not, it's over. But this is the same thing. We said last year in that game 7, between these two teams. You know, there was one shot away from being eliminated. Yeah. It was Jimmy Butler, that made that shot, right? I think he shot a three coming up. He took you, buddy, but then go in. Yeah, he took it. He rimmed out. Yeah, man. So who's to say, but I can say it's a man fortune favors the bold man. We will find out. Boston's been hella bold in a situation that they put themselves in that they are like on the verge of turning around. Here's to me, who's a player, if Miami really wants to help Jimmy Butler out?

DeSantis launches GOP presidential campaign in Twitter announcement plagued by glitches
"Florida's Republican governors announced that he's officially a candidate for president, but the announcement didn't go exactly as planned. Republican governor Ron DeSantis launched his campaign in a special Twitter space's feed. Criticizing President Biden. He lacks vigor, flounders in the face of our nation's challenges, and he takes his cues from the woke mob. But there were technical problems that led to start and stops, audio glitches, and a delay of nearly half an hour. Desantis was asked why he chose Twitter instead of traditional media. He compared it to his COVID lockdown opposition, lamenting a lack of free expression. You had to put your money where your mouth is. Even that was marred by an audio glitch. This is rivals were rough. Donald Trump tweeted the desantis Twitter launch is a disaster. His whole campaign will be a disaster. And Nikki Haley's campaign also called it a failure.

"More baseball. It's a disservice to the organization and the fans is service to the fans is what it is injury organization roster spot as a roster spot and is pitching in a one run ballgame and lewis. He'll pitching in screen. It's it's unacceptable. It's absolutely unacceptable. And and they're they're talking about louis. He'll about being stretched out getting these Getting the starters inning. Getting the starters workload it in the bronx do it in the freaking bronx the fact that he look. I know boone was out of the game at that point. But you know he's still making those calls on android not so. I tweeted out. It's funny gary sanchez. hits the two run home. Run to put them up three runs and There's like a little playground like a five minute walk from our house and we have been meaning to take harrison there because we wanted to put him on the swing as three run lead. Seems like the yankees are gonna have. I'll just pop the game on my phone. Listen to john. And susan and before we even made it to the playground. I'm hearing andrew. He needs just meltdown on like. Oh god here we go i tweeted. Don't be mad andrew. Heaney be mad at brian. Cashman for keeping him on this roster and be mad at aaron boone for continuing to pitch them. And i understand that aaron boone had been ejected from that game. However it's not just yesterday it's making calls and after the game. Did you hear what. Aaron boone said after the game about entry. Heaney said he felt he said he felt like he was a victim of some soft contact and he still is going to get his chances to prove. What are we doing. If we can't say we've seen enough of andrew heaney at this point. It is september sixth the yankees are fighting for their playoff lives and he is the worst pitcher on the roster. He does not deserve to pitch anymore. No he doesn't. He absolutely does not every single time he comes in. It's it's We we know what's going to happen. The game is going to change in a very bad way. So there's no reason for it. The fact that lucille is pitcher. When i see the stout lines when i see people tweeting about how well he's doing it. Just aggravates me in pisses me off and i'm looking squarely at the yankees brass the yankees manage. What what what are you possibly seeing here. That makes any kind of sense. 'cause it doesn't make sense. It's not a difficult decision either. This is not difficult. This is not a hard choice. This is a very easy choice. It was so many things went wrong. Sunday's game it was a four plus. Our game. I i i think yeah sunday afternoon. It was good gross out. It's just like i. I felt like all day. I was just watching naked. Labor's the play that gleyber torres didn't make in the sixth inning. When is a routine ground ball. And i forget who was it. No mullins wasn't wasn't mullins. It was marlins hit the home. Run off but it was judy air. Whoever whoever it was running. He's a fast he he's a you should know. It doesn't matter what i don't know his name you don't know his name. God what guess. What kleber should know who. Yes kleberson have a profile on him. Glitter should know exactly what he's gonna do and how fast he's probably gonna get done online at least have an idea the fact that he took his sweet ass time. I remember the the the the absolute rage from people when a-rod would double pump. This do doesn't even double pump. He just he just lollygag weights and just like takes sweet time and then loops over. I mean there was arkansas. I've seen recently throw some absolute missiles over the first couple. Couple turns where he's coming across the bag he lets that thing fly and shows off the arm that he has. He's got a very very good arm and to use it in that way because it's a mental mental mental mistake domino effect that play. He doesn't make. And then abreu gives up the tour and homerun to moments now. You can't completely excuse. The tour and home runs should be giving up to run home runs but shouldn't have been in that inning anymore. Which means he had to throw more pitches which means he could not come out for the seventh inning which means andrew heaney pitched the seventh-inning which means he gave up. Four runs in the yankees. Lost the game. It was like a domino effect from the just bonehead is sleep. Moment fall asleep moment. That gleyber torres had i'm done. I'm done with gleyber torres this. I don't see a reason to continue to put him in the lineup. He's not hitting okay he. His bat is not worth it right now to put him in the lineup for his awful defense play velazquez play tyler way. His name is tyler would play somebody other than glacier tours at shortstop because he's a bad shortstop and he makes stupid mental mistakes. See one of the problems with this team. Who were. we're back to a construction problem again when you have shoah and glare back in the lineup. Now you're looking at a Not not as much or shallow. But more so kleber the fact that he doesn't hit and and you're looking at that that type of profile for him to come in there and be complementary and the lineup. He's not complementary in the lineup right now not not even a little bit whereas you have a guy like tyler wade who's hitting and you know but also gives you some defense but also as he doesn't need to be a superstar like velazquez playing out. There doesn't need to be a superstar. Shortstop needs to be a guy that can play the position. Well do do the small things. Run the bases. Not every single position needs to be that that superstar tight caliber player. And it's like at this point if gleyber doesn't mean you can't you can't just end the labor experiment right now like you're saying you're done with him you're done with it. You can't just end it right now. But if he if he doesn't show that he's that he's doing something in in the next week or so. You gotta make some serious decisions but even in the in the in the mid term while you're waiting for that he doesn't need to play every single day you can mix things you can send some messages. This is where the manager pulled out of yesterday's game after that after that play. He needs to be taken out off the field after that. Play because the messages to be you. Yes fall asleep. Shortstop shortstop glazer. If you want to be a shortstop you can't fall asleep when you're out there. Aaron boone has to do has to fix this. This this goes back down to the very much managerial problem..

"first half" Discussed on Coffee House Shots
"What did you. i thought it was interesting. In the first few minutes he actually took interventions rather than getting into the main flow and and made a point of it. He was oh cool. I want to hear my colleagues and then quickly adding because he realized that man probably seven every that seconds he decided he was not going to take semi interventions but as you say when he was responding to them. You didn't really get a sense. He was engaging too much in the point of making generally speaking. And i think on. The theresa may one adjoining boris johnson once again to conversation about when he had spoken to people but i think it was also quite clear from that intervention and others that boris johnson is adamant that there was not a military solution to this off to the us decided to pull out and that's something does put him at loggerheads with several of his mp's hugh i think d- believe that at the current situation that could have been avoided or the very least could have been less chaotic than it has played. And i think that you can. Boris johnson trying to mountain defense. But also as a result of that not fully engaging when it comes into specifics. She took free that. I think it's fair to say that. If boris johnson had an uncomfortable session the person feeling the most discomfort was foreign secretary. Dominic robb. He didn't like he's had a particularly relaxing. Holiday has to be said what holiday he he did have before he eventually decided to come back to this culture. He was specifically named in a number of speeches particularly case star. Who said you kind of coordinated international response from the beach. Katie what do you think is the mood amongst conservative. Back benches about raw. He was clearly taking a lot of the criticisms very personally and seemed very very angry. Actually during a lot of the a lot of the opening speeches and i noticed. One point or celia conservative backbencher made a point of order to complain that in blackford speech which was characteristically long had turned into a conversation between him and dominic robb. Wh where do you think the foreign secretary standing is amongst conservative. mp's generally as you say he looked very unhappy for at that potty because you had opposition figures you can't bring up the holiday and that was clearly riling dominic robb dating there. Was that much sympathy on the tory. Benches dominic robb. At the moment. I think that if you look at the general anger in the fact that this really not much tool. That's being supportive towards boris johnson. The government so far in this debate some of the most difficult inventions with the government have come from the tory side. I think if you if you look at that. I think it reflects the sense that the government has mishandled this now. There is a debate of in the tory party. About how exactly have mishandled it so there is some do think that there is an alternative after your side to pull out. There was a way to have that continued military presence. And that could avoid some of this. There are obviously gene. Do you think probably it was inevitable that the uk would have to leave afghanistan.

"And then labored hits like thirty home runs in the second denver. I kinda think the rockies get ripped off if they do that. I think they should push for more than that. Personally but yeah. That's that's interesting. What do you what do you do with a building block player. Who just looks nothing. Like building block player anymore. I mean like you know. I loved scott king a couple of years ago. And now he's ever gonna play in the majors again. Then you just ask the same question about venison. Toys is not scott kingery though tourists should be hitting thirty home runs a year. But maybe it's just baltimore pitched better. Now treat me. Taking the pitcher part out of that kingery was supposed to be a twenty twenty player three years ago. so let's not say we'll glacier was a slam dunk over. What do you think labor is going to thirty. Thirty eight home runs in his first. Full season either. A legit fantasy draftable guy three seasons ago right but he was not the prospect the tourists. You're of course. I'm not saying that. But he was a definite prospect. He was a he was a relevant player right. But i don't think tortoise today falls in the same descriptive category as scott kingery. There's a pretty wide guy tightly with that. But i mean if it's tours for story straight up that's a really intriguing deal there because i'm the go all in on signing trevor story and it's a good place for him to land outside of colorado marquette. The marquess tree possibility fascinates me where. You're saying. Tough fifteen you could sign me up for that but do you really think it's going to just click overnight like that. I think it's already clicked for him. And the only thing holding back. Herman marquez is denver and even now it's not holding them back. What working on these pitch better. In denver autumn. I know lost internet but i still have the squad gas working. So fair dare jinx. I'm not trying to jinx anything. He's six years. The wires literally plugged into my computer. My internet's not working but his home road splits. Last i looked at her marquez. We're fine like three gator home home. He's not john. Snow does too but okay. What's that was our last question. 'cause no that's the thing you're it's flipped over this year. This is the folly of home road splits in the past. He was clearly better on the road. I mean it wasn't even close and this year. He's better at home okay. Maybe that's like a pitch new york. We wouldn't be scared of the ballpark right in very we wouldn't really i mean if you're not if he's doing well in coors like why the hell that it's well it's the altitude. I guess he's still left. Handed hitters yankee stadium hitting on runs. I don't isn't a comfort like the rockies haven't they don't have like this who they then traded. There's no right now. There's no comfort pitcher like this being traded by denver. He really he be cease about the trade to milwaukee he could be that or he could be baldo jimenez finish in cleveland. He got arms not their current. He's carrying my frigging labor team or anything to be closer to cece. Of course. I traded it with my early because i needed save. So i'm the full here to more shares at least circle back the trivia. Here who are. The three pitchers have thrown at least seven innings on eight occasions. This season zack. Wheeler zach number. One with eleven. that's crazy. I think he leads the league. In innings and eleven times kevin guzman. Kevin guardsmen has seven seven just mess. There are a handful of seven. How about that sandy. Alkan tara now he is at six. Well i suck all right if you start getting trivia questions wrong. I mean. I'm doing something right. Doesn't mean your bed while i hope it's not suspended dodger. Man i want to talk about him again. Bessette facet seven could guess that grant cranky and nine. You're missing one. Another elder statesman not sherzer masher elder statesman not kershaw knocker show elder statesman. I'm telling you it's not you you you're nailing these i know it is i know what it is. 'cause i've got him on all my teams i've got i bet you do because you have all guys so well. You know what a lot of them are doing. Well it's definitely adam wainwright definitely is wayne right. He's he's wow. Is there anything to that. i mean wheeler. The youngest of them is thirty. One years old. But greek in wainwright like old man. Ninety six when you throw ninety six ninety eight you you get arm troubles or you know into grabs case side or oblique or whatever troubles like like these guys are just smart pitcher i hate. I hate the saying that announcers he knows how to pitch pretty much. Everybody in the major leagues those pitch. Even eric sogard knows how to pitch. But the problem is when you say. Oh wainwright and cranky. Their veteran guys know how to pitch. Okay f. one knows how to pitch to. We just can't do it as well but these guys like. They have moxie they change speeds. That's what i think. Changing speeds is very important. It's not as important storing ninety eight every time but it's born. You know guys to command the word you so often in this game and people when people use that phrase. You know exactly what they're talking about. It's that they used to throw hard and now they don't anymore and they found her with other pitches they're fooling hitters and keeping them off balance wainwright adjusted to diminish stuff in his later years. He's done an excellent job of doing baseball announcers mandate. I just have to meet them half the time because when they say things or were they say analytics or ruining baseball sure. That's exactly what you're doing your genius go ahead. It's all because shifting whatever you say..

"Would i add. Jose iglesias labor. Probably not but i nico. Horner has a chance to be better than labor tourists in the second half of the season. I know we keep doing labor. But he's got three home runs at the all star break. So what are we. What are we doing here. Yeah us at all to beat the narrative into the ground around somebody a player that one of us just generally doesn't like like i mean. Look eric did a like laboratories this year and was dead on. He's had a terrible year. I didn't see this common though. I mean how do you go from thirty home. Runs to a pace for six but like hairs guys with lower. Slugging percentage yelich. I would trade for matt shelvin of oakland very good june. Yeah i would trade for yom moncada slugging three ninety eight. Okay if healthy yeah. I would say he's never going to run. You know like we thought. But he's only got five. Home runs to more labor charleston. I still like him. And he resorted was seven. Home runs and nine steals. Who saw that coming but he can do better. We know he's got more power than that. Well lemay you don't have to trade for lemay who i have to think so. He's a better player than this. I mean indoor so much name value right like right now right exactly like anybody who has door is stuck for the long haul by all means reach out. But i don't expect you're going i just i just had somebody asked me a question about you. Know bringing labor tours back into this work another counter another trade counterpart just traded for the guy. And i got a question about. Do i give these to kind of useless players for gleyber torres. You've got to ask yourself. Why would the person with that do that. And that's where you're at with wind door. Why would you gonna give two guys who just doing nothing for francisco indoor. Why would the personal with linda do that. Why would i think lindores are goodbye. Low so i would think is too but i think you're gonna have to pay with a guy who's performing very we. We have to reevaluate linda warriors for next year. He might see a just a fifteen homer fifteen still guy. Best to seventy which is fine but at the top fifty pick. He is a much better real life than fantasy player. And you raise that question in march. And i remember i was in. I was intrigued and moved them down. Accordingly i had no shares. Because i didn't think he was a second round pick and most people did. But i didn't see this you know. He's been better in june as well. So if you're going to buy chap and you have to buy all indoor bef wants to know who your favorite over. Achieving pitcher is to keep rolling in the second half this is when comparing era to expected era. Kyle gets in taiwan walker. Marcus stroman oh man insen walker stroman. I mean this is. This is the question from a month ago. I have quite. I have concerns about all three performance to some degree. Stroman have any strikeouts in his last outing right. Because i have on a team and i'm like what is that all about you. Were on kyle gibson. You were right about that. I did not see that coming. I mean it wasn't. It's not really ballpark related. On kyle gibson is it. I mean it's just like it's been a very very pitching friendly ballpark but could control. Yeah you know so and good strike. Our i mean how gibson striking out this many batters. That's that's part of it So give him credit. For that. Taiwan walker taiwan walkers. Isn't he the best. Come on my my instinct tells me i'd rather have taiwan walker and i don't have much more than just the gut is saying so and it's a big god so it knows what i'm talking about. I guess okay on that good weekend of eating so yeah clearly i probably would. Cash in the cow gets chip. I think i would too. I think stroman fine. You know you're going to get you know. We rank them not in the top. Forty starting pitchers but but inside top fifty five not strike out guy similar question. Nick pa- vada. No i no. I'm begging both of them in labor and it's been glorious. It was herman marquez. I'm on my kids is really good. Is he only gonna get better if he gets moved. You know what he's pitching. Fine court right now coors. That's what i'm saying. Do we want him to stay in coors. Like is this that weird. I don't know how. I don't know what colorado is going to get for. I think it's going to be moving right. It doesn't make sense for them to keep them that's just from trying to maximize the return for them. As opposed to you. You say it doesn't make sense house colorado going to be good in two years if they don't cover story or herman marquess if no pitching and you wanna trade a guy who you put her in marquez on a contender and he is in the top twenty top fifteen starting pitchers you put them on the yankees right. Now is a normal marquez. In the top. Fifteen starting pitchers theoretically the problem. Is there aren't comps for pitchers leaving cores during the year. None of that caliber except for baldo jimenez and the issue with jimenez a comp was that he was already showing diminish stuff in the year he got traded to cleveland. He was bad. In cleveland after a straight was worse there than he was as a rockies pitcher if the yankees trade gleyber torres david garcia to colorado for trevor story in herman.

"Kyle now for trivial hash browns. Kyle hello to you again. hello guys. it's good to be back. I don't like having the whole the whole crew together here for trivia. I want you guys to name the pitchers that have completed at least seven innings at least eight times this season. Who is giving you volume. In this crazy era of baseball there are three of them. Don carman don carman not one of them randy lerch rocking closer. We get their third some hash browns before we get into the real guesses. Those players are not a clue. I you could make it be boxers franck. They might be your postman. I have no idea spend my postman actually. Did you know the name of your post man or woman. I post person or mel carrier Now but we haven't been in this house all that line so it's not like we've had a consistent report with our area we'll get there. We'll learn this person's name. I have no doubt about spencer first hash brown and he was one of many here. Everybody's up in arms about dylan. Carlson one is yanni. Good to spend on you can drop guy like mile star. Where myers over three overweight him. Now i don't think we did. But i like the fact that he's leading off and he he should be taking away. He has a decent walk rate. But not lately but yeah. He's not doing so hot and he's not running at all. No nary attempted stolen base eighty four games. Huge disappointment that i expected i expected like twenty home runs. Twelve to fifteen steals. We may get the home runs. But i mean mile. Straw has no power but he could still twenty five basis season. So have you need basis. Sure but in a point sleek i. I would try to stick across. We'll myers doesn't look like we'll myers i. How did that last year. I don't because he's back to his old self disappointing. I stick with carlson. Dealing across has sixty seven th percentile sprint speed. And he's as you said no no stolen base attempts. I just don't get it and you know. Historically saint louis does not use the stolen base very much. They actually have fallen into that oakland. In the zero's kind of mold historically of late. Because you know ozzie. smith. Vince coleman beg to differ. But kyle hasn't heard historically in reasonably in the recent frame of memory for people in fantasy. Hear you say something. I wanna make sure that people understand what we're talking about is you're sure you're older than the twenty five years of age like i run. You know like yeah. Who's going to win the nba. Title i want it to be phoenix. I think phoenix i mean. The honest doesn't look like he's gonna play game one at least like if he doesn't play the first game. I don't think they can play from behind like milwaukee a lot but this is not lineup for chris. paul would would philadelphia have beaten milwaukee. If like doc doesn't play. Ben ben simmons in. That's a big if you're playing your starting point guard. He's bad but the my he was i'm playing. I need to know an expert and nba experts. Opinion the seventy sixers. They're currently constructed and coach beaten milwaukee series with the previous series with honest compromise. No this series. Milwaukee just beat atlanta okay which they might not have done trae young healthy. So you're saying if to eastern seventy six game seven against atlanta where they beat mocking eric. There's no way brandon would corbin burns freddie peralta. They would just so hot right now. Calls that geffen is tall. I think he could dunk. Those guys would have been him zach. Epoca benjamin's doesn't want to stunk my dad's like although this damian lillard form i'm like oh sure it's just easy with half the team and every first round pick for the next decade they can get dame lewis all right. What was the question. I got to wondering. Is there a player whose name symbolizes game better than mile straw. Mean like he's using astrada hit with. I don't know his name the drink. Yeah like if you gave me his name with no context. I would tell you exactly what he is. Bob walk. I mean there's a million pictures like who is that. Josh outmanned been a lot of pitcher but he wasn't a good outline. What i was looking for was when the as had blazed tom that he would be like their pinch-runner extraordinarily unperfect and by the way. How can't sky bolt be the most. The fastest guy on oakland is. It's the greatest thing plays skype. There wasn't who's the blaze. Tom guy times a minor. Leager he actually. I think he's on the pirates. Well you can't tell the difference but yes. The oakland kids sky bolt like is very fast. So that's well said. That was the one i was confusing them with mile straws second. Dave loves getting deals done during the all star right ball. Things are a little slower. Who are some bad. You'd look to invest in now. That could be better the rest of the way. That's a good point yes in. It's a good time for reflection next week. When there's no baseball games. That matter and i looked at my team to say can i contain. What do i need to contain. Not not that. I won't do it today. But i don't feel like it but next week when you know we're watching the homerun. Derby is a great time to actually do that. Reflect on your teams and what you really need So i would say but some hitters like there's a lot of hitters right now okay and maybe you've noticed this way with really low slugging percentages based on their history. Yeah they shouldn't. I'm not just talking like one soto who is destroying i. I had a chance to tease and soda in a league couple of years ago and i took soto and now i realize i did it wrong but when you look at some of these slugging percentages and you say how is this like christian yelich. You notice what he's slugging..

"Yeah i'm watching him lot of sliders solas he's combating he's finally getting a slaughter over and is doing. Well you know. Obviously kendall agreement is the guy you really have to rostrum seattle's bullpen. But i do think. Paul sewell does ahead of drew stuck and writer for some saves there any other situations that we have to mention. Where do you stand on minnesota's today. They never win. I think it's i think it's a combination between hans robots and taylor rogers and i think it was a month ago and i think either or both could be traded. Because they're clearly out of it now. Now it's it i think it's almost mandatory. They trade row bliss which is why howard seeing forced into save chances when he's he's the clearly inferior pitcher of the to clear. Yeah but rogers pitched in that game yesterday. Said him up. yeah he was. I didn't he was very good. I wanna see rogers going to san francisco with his twin brother. I think that'd be fun right. Twin brother who throws side arm underhand taylor. The left from minnesota does not do that. But i'd like to see that happen but again nobody's going to make a trade until the absolute deadline. Which is what two weeks from. Friday july thirtieth so it is three weeks from friday. I think three thirty the deadline. It's a saturday. It's three weeks from saturday. No but they moved into friday wherever they didn't want to do it over. Nobody wanted to work. Thank you for doing that. You just save me. Have an update forecasters at six. Pm on a saturday. Well i don't feel like doing it on six. Pm on a friday. Either better than the amount of saturday definitely better than that. Okay moving along. Now let's take a look at the schedule for the next couple of days. Really only a couple of days here because we'll have a show on thursday. Let's see today. Tuesday oh you. Espn's got a double header. It's got milwaukee at milwaukee on fire and opening up a big division lead here and that see the cubs are going to sell because milwaukee has such a big lead but the phillies can't sell because the methadone anyway jake. Degrom is on the mound today against anderson. Every degrom outing is worth watching Even against milwaukee. And you know i just i just wanna seem healthy. And i'm also interested to see you starts also because philadelphia zach. Wheelers season won't be to graham. Why can't these pitching sunday. Well he may pitch sunday. The mets have options to fill enough of their games for the week too. Not start degrom on sunday. But but you're right. If they scratch him he could start the all star game. We'll see jared goff again. And they got him to resign in one deal. Yankees are in seattle. Jameson tie on kind of unimpressed with against sheffield. Is there anything. They were tyrone. I don't know if there is. I've not been impressively. no i. There could be. But i'm not seeing it. There's nothing actionable today. Espn plus as reds at royals lewis. Cass theo who had a great june great june and was a lucky couple of those games like his last most recent outing he he cruised into like the fifth inning. I've got him on multiple teams and then he gave up a couple runs in the six. When he wasn't even in the game the reliever gave them up least gets to. You is going to be really good for the second half of the season and he's already been good for the last six weeks. You should get them so for streaming purposes. You know a streamer stephen math at baltimore. I don't want to activate them in a league. I can do that in. Should i win no small. No it's in baltimore and they do have some guys who can cause headaches matchups. Why i don't like it. Nope they have all star cedric mullins. They do leftovers. Left you there so but it's actually been pretty good of late. He's facing jon. Snow and colorado on the road is awful. The arizona anywhere is awful. Colorado historically poor at course that arizona. I know i'm just saying that. Even a course. They are on track for their worst offensive season as a franchise in their own games. So think about what that means on the road. It means badness Sorry using merrill. Kelly today why not. Yeah and use them over. Stephen matt's to wednesday. Espn has Dodgers marlins with no pitchers so i think the hitters are gonna hit off a t. On wednesday and they probably going. Julio reas the marlins have the problem because they demoted could be jordan. holloway jordan. Holloway was the one they demoted. They'll they'll call up a guy like that just to pitch that game. Whatever the case is watched dodgers marlins. Because it's good baseball. Somebody will start those games so the hitters don't have to hit off a t and the dot product. Starting i would think so. I mean you don't think about this because you know their ace. Pitcher is pitching this week but somebody has to pitch dodgers and is not the price who can't go deepen the weird situation with david price season. I'm disappointed because yes. I believed that david price would be a decent starting pitcher. A top forty starter. This year he would go six innings per game. He'd be fine that they're not even trying to make him a starting pitcher. He's not stretched out for anything. It's very strange. Yeah was the injury really. He's giving utility in the nfl. Only leagues for the most part. And that's about it. What else do we have. Oh patrick corbin and chris paddock interesting match there again. Patrick corbin you know you never know from the outing doubting what he's gonna do. I think if it got him in a weekly. It's it's kind of frustrating. Because i've got him in a weekly and i don't know what to do with i just leave of now. You lost your second. Start in the weeklies are. He's not starting sunday. No no he was supposed to start today and they pushed him back to give them arrest so he can't make two starts this week now and it's a san diego game. Yes disappointing knob. Sonny gray on a pitch limit. Apparently even though he threw eighty six last week off the injured list. He's i can't city you're gonna wanna use in. They're even on a pitch limit. I mean if eighty six is the limit or ninety. That's still pretty good and then thursday and we'll discuss thursday on thursday. Don't forget the double header. Because of the cleveland tampa bay games were there avoiding the hurricane. So they've got a double header on wednesday at his correct. So make sure you look. I mean tuesday today games wednesday. Lots of games thursday. Lots of bay game. So if you're in a daily and you're in you're in july and you're still paying attention you should know when there's going.

"Do to do to gets the closer carousel all right. And then the yankee closed a call to the yankee bullpen. Right now because they've got some issues there literally in that game on sunday. Yeah yeah the yankee closers have troubles here so you watch him and something's gotta be wrong because the walks in his last two games one out to home runs for chapman so i asked you what's going to happen here. Is chad green getting saves this week. There's gotta be a physical issue with him right. Which adam i. I suspect that but the only case against it is that the fastball velocity hasn't been fully lost which is usually the big signal to me. It looks to me like the command of that pitches the huge problem. He has no control of that fastball. At all and you set it the numbers it's fifteen runs. Fourteen earned fourteen hits four. Those are homers nine walks in his past nine appearances and it's k- rate has been below twenty percent. That is not at all chapman. I here's the issue chat. Green isn't going to be able to close tomorrow. Through tone pitches sunday. So is it jonathon. Louisa they might just go back to chapman again and have them blow the tuesday game in seattle. And maybe it's not a safe chance. I but chad grains the guy abi adding. I wrote about him yesterday it. It's gotta be him. You gotta adam a speculative guy philadelphia and all its infinite wisdom as a side of that. Rangers swore as closer with his ninety. Two mile per hour fastball. Oh eighty five year. Eighty three through one eight v. You know what's going to happen here folks. If you want to add swire's would probably get us a couple of chances this week definitely don't roster hector narus anymore but ranger suarez. That's that's hard to believe you even for my team. Hard to believe. And i don't believe it do you. Oh yeah he girardi already said it. He said i just love her again. I feel free man. I feel for you then because not why was that was your motivating guy. What is he doing. He doesn't know what he's doing part of the problem. It's like when. Mike metheny goes the greg even though scott beuller sitting there or stall we're both having a thinning. We're both having some fun years as fans of our team. Honestly it's not bothering me all that much anymore. You more because you have expectations of the playoffs. And my i. Don't i don't have that. I'm kind of embracing this idea of the trading off guys being a seller at the deadline. I'm there's there's no chance he's doing that. I would not be shocked. I i'd be stunned. If the yankees are sellers the phillies are probably going to be buyers for for no good reason. I mean the mets. If the message just run away with his division and phillies would be sellers. Max scherzer be on the yankees. You should blame the mets. You know not only for the weekend. But the mets were like seven and a half games ahead. Sherzer could be on the yankees next month. You know and i said it earlier on the show this year that i you. You said. Sherzer to the yankees. I gonna love it embrace that. And that's what they need speaking of the phillies. Last year's a sweetheart he pembrey is getting for cincinnati now despite allowing a home run almost every time he pitches Cincinnati has to have somebody close games. He has been the guy because lucas sims and tj. Antone are both on the injured list. This isn't gonna last either. Yeah combo it. Though i'm here garrett's still been getting some of those matchups against lefties. Yeah yeah he. They're both in it. You know so. But henry had to this weekend. Just like scott. Barlow kansas city. Who i wrote about today borrows really good. Boyle has been among the wins above replacement leaders. Own was all season long and everyone ahead of him is an all-star barlow could have been an all star. The only royals rep is a perez who deserves it but barlow's been having the best season that can't say boop all season long and finally this week and he gets a couple of saves. But i dunno deal stick to him. You might go back to holland today. you know. Because that's what he does. Barlow is one of the most underrated relievers in the game very under appreciated. I would tell you right now if your options are like suarez. I can't believe rangers suarez ham. Barlow it'd be the first guy you add their over those other guys because it's not going to last in fact i would add barlow. Would you drop jimmy garcia. Dad barlow the bad loan. Save i what. I'm glad you brought to miami. Because that is the number one guy. I see as a trade candidate coming up. Yeah i think benders closer. No i don't think you know contenders going to use jimmy garcia closer right bellevue moat. But i don't think they're contender but anthony. Bender is is having a nice season. He's got the another close is. Does you know. After years of watching. Paul sued for the mets. I'm like how is he doing postcards.

"We got lots of them since our last show. And and some odd wants some catchers zach collins not the portland forward but the white sox catcher and kyle farmer. I is there anything there. I mean i as count holiday because definitely matters yes. Monte groundouts probably going on the injured list today and collins will be the starting catcher for the white sox but is it. Is there a pathway to relevance in a ten team league like would you add him in a one catcher the you know and to catcher league. I think you can make the case right and like he takes. Walks doesn't he. He does he whips a lot. There's a ton of swing and miss his game. That's the big problem. You're going for the all or nothing. Potential power outcome and if you look at his numbers the power hasn't been to the level. I was expecting during his prospect status with you to catcher league type. I also be a little worried. The white sox have to seek another catcher. They have lost so many key. Contributors to that lineup. They've got to do something. And if the backstop is where they can add a player a meaningful name. That's going to work against him. Yeah i mean. We'll see i don't want to over eight collins by the other catcher right now. They just called up somebody. Today i saw. That's not mercedes. It would sevi- zavala. Who was at defense. i guy. yeah how about your mercedes. The fall fall from grace for him. I mean a great april and then nothing since then. They demoted him. it's not really a catcher. So that's why they could. You know leave active but anyway and nothing to say about call form on friday. Jackie bradley jr. yada or molina shohei ohtani amazing. Jake fraley stole two bases and very busy friday there. I'm we've talked about otani jake. Fraley is interesting to me. And i think you wrote about him and there's something. There is not a typical prospect. I thought he was a little bit older. I think he was gonna hit for much average but he's doing okay now see. I was going to continue to play. Him is twenty six years old so not a typical prospect seven. Home runs seven stolen bases and he's playing a lot and that's kind of important. Yeah good pitch selection making more contact the big jump for him that he's much more disciplined the season. That's really helping him. Not a star but also a guy is not going to hurt you in most fantasy categories unfortunate. Since i wrote about him. He hasn't been quite as great. So it's probably the fifteen mix where you're going to maximize the always on the gayle. These saturday and sunday. Eli white texas trevor story. Who's a great story. I really should be in the all star game. It's kind of a shame. He's not games denver. I don't you know baseball. Continues to do smart things harrison baiter on sunday and. I don't know if anybody had a combo. Meal on monday into that frame array is definitely did anyone else. Kyle have not okay all right. So harrison badir interests me a little bit tristan. Because he's a he's a homer he's a guy who was great speed. He can still basis a little pop against lefties but a low batting average type guy. So i would ask you this. Would you rather add jake fraley or harrison beta right now. Good question i'm to i would say fraley. I trust the skills baiters. The problem with ater is that he has swing and missing his game. And it's messy. When he is off he can really tank your batting average. Frailties probably not going to do that. I see a little more safety there. All right safety enclosures will find out next person's gonna sing that one to.

"No pressure you've got it man. Well i think now like the bars raised all podcast producers. Have to play guitar. And you need like you need like twenty five tattoos to lightly beard tattoos or play the guitar. I'm not in good shape for any of those all right. Well we have to deal with this. And i don't really want to. But dodgers pitcher is not pitching this week and he missed last week and you know. I don't have anything to say about. What trevor bauer did or did not do from fantasy baseball aspect tristan here. That's all that matters for this show bus. You can deal with the other stuff. What do you do with our in a fantasy league right now. We don't know how much time he's going to miss. It might only be one start this week. He might come back right after the all star break and he might be fine and we rank them among the top. Five starting pitchers in all fantasy. He's really only good on the field. But do you try to trade him right now. You're always in dropping him right. You probably can't trade him for value at this point because there was concern that he's going to get suspended miss more time and then again he might not be and in a week he might be in the rotation. So what does the fantasy implication to what's going on with him. A lot of these things are very unknown and uncertain because we haven't had a a history of however will deals with these things so i have no clue what the length of absence is going to be I do believe because he's got an out designation. You could put him on the injured list. I don't have a share in an espn link. So i can't tested myself. But i think the player with the o. designation can and if that's the case you just put on the sidelines and see what you know how this plays out. I don't think you can trade them. I don't think you should try to trade him. I just don't think that's a viable option for you and you know we'll we'll see how this plays out. It's a it's a disturbing troubling situation. I mean when he's on the mount. He's talented pitcher moving on now. Let's do the combo meals. Oh there was one other thing. I wanted to get to six. Oh sanchez of the marlins done for the season with shoulder surgery. Which have like harbinger a little bit like a month ago. When i was writing about this situation. I don't even know he's going to have surgery but you can safely drop him. But i wanted to ask your overall picture here. A shoulder as four more concerning than an elbow where the now. But we know how long you're out with a shoulder. Sometimes these guys are gonna come back. They don't throw his hard in a dynasty format. Here tennessee rankings. If six oh. Sanchez was before this week. Among your top. Ten young prospect dynasty starting pitchers. Is he still there. No he would probably at this point if it was a top ten classification. And that's taking a subset group of that age. He's probably now atop twenty type and with the possibility this adversely impacts the remainder of his career. As you said it's a shoulder tear. I worry that that cuts a little bit into next season as well. Especially if it's a surgery situation. Let's say top twenty just ballpark today. And and i will have Dynasty rankings for the readers in the coming week plus accent okay. I wasn't aware that i will look forward to seeing that. Because i wanna see where you rank him because you know we all loved him back in march but with a shoulder injury attaran that shoulder. I mean you don't know like the degree like corey. Kluber shoulder is shot. I mean he's thirty five or something. That's different when six sanchez kid. Who by the way was in the jt. Real trade from philadelphia and it doesn't look as now you know it was basically farro and six though for real moot though anyway. It's it's a shame because we wanted to see him pitch and help. Not only the marlins but us. He's not going to do that anymore. For the rest of the season now. It's time for you to sing about the combo meals today. Many small business owners are busier than ever because they are focused on managing and growing their business.

"Might be. Yeah i would hope in the situation that you don't have a glut of injured less players. I do a couple of leagues. So i understand it. If you're in that situation. I think it's okay to let him go. I would prefer to try to keep them around. If i could zach gallon of arizona's just sat down on the field after throwing a pitch. They say it's a mild hamstring strain but arizona's a mess and they don't win very much and anzac. That gown is very good but this looks like a pitcher who's not going to have a great final second half of the season to me like maybe it's because injury maybe it's because of performance or not getting wins but like i don't see how we could rank that gown as a top twenty five starting pitcher and fantasy for the final three months based on his situation. Yes and a lot of that has to do with this. Being the third injured list stint. I can't recall what the first one was coming out of. Spring training began the year on the injured that was elbow and we thought it was elbowing the first time right. I mean i thought that was the second indra. I thought that was the main one. Well i it was. One of them is what i'm saying. Yeah there was definitely one where we were worried. he could be headed for. Tommy john i do recall that i think that was the may one. I don't remember the opening day could have been the same but the fact that these are two different injuries and he's at a difficult time building his himself back up to pitching at the level he did in the previous two years. That's what bugs me. I i'm with you. I don't think you can make the case for top twenty five. Because i don't think he gets to that volume and there will be the risk of re injury. He had a hairline fracture and his forearm in late march and then the elbow is in early. May so you add all these things up and it gets to be a little bit concerning and this is very promising. Young starting pitcher. And that's why we get concerned any other injuries that i i don't want to miss anything here. I'm looking at the most added droplets because that generally tells us who is injured because people are just you know leaving a positive injury note. I mean since. We're doing injuries as i'm pleased about the friend. Male raiders at friend mill race return from the ingest and the homered and his first. Maybe not as first game back but it was one of the early game. I think it was the second. I'm trying to recall doubt the power. You know actually was activated friday. I don't think he played. It was weird. He got activated in play. I think it was weird. Heather transaction fell. What right he. Yesterday you had a home run a double and five. Rbi and he stole a base so he his name will be mentioned a little bit later when after tristan sings I didn't get to listen to thursday. Show how much singing did you do. Last thursday show because dopp guitar for my show. So i'm assuming there was lots of seeing it was like a greatest hits version or something was it was we. We actually did a three man. Combo meal song was. It was pretty epic. All right i will listen to that. I'd guitar through the hash. browns really. Okay well that's can't miss listening. Podcast off their. I mean.

"All star break should be a wild homerun derby next week in denver Tristan how are you hope you have a nice weekend. I did i did. It was a very nice relaxing weekend. Pretty decent weather overall for the most part of the last couple rain days. And i'm really thrilled to see that. Shohei otani is on the all star game as a two player. Actually why i'm gonna. I don't always watch the all star game because it's you know it's not normal baseball but i- everything is doing. I'm watching its course field. And it's a designated hitter game. At least at last. I checked it was because there were designated hitters in the voting. And i just want to see the roster maneuvering like how do they handle. How do they handle otani getting into that game as a pitcher on this is the stuff i love about baseball at. He leads the league in home runs. I mean unbelievable. What he's doing right now. And you know if i was thinking about it like who is the player of the year so far in the first half of the season the seasons roughly half over right now so the player of the year. I mean how can it not be otani amis leading the league at home runs. And he's pitching. He's pitching well enough to matter to be relevant. He's number two on the play writer behind fernando totti's junior but how can otani not be our fantasy player the first half of the season. I don't see how he can't. He's been available to people the entirety of the year. He was going one. Seventy five to two hundred overall i i saw leagues where he was definitively after the top two hundred picks he's got four hundred and thirty fantasy points if you combine his hitting in his pitching now. You can't use them because you can't use hitting a bitch at the same time just said that on the thursday show with aj. But i would say that the available points to you. He is by far the most in the league. And you see in the playwright or numbers as well i i. Can't it's indescribable. What he is doing. I mean it's it's never been seen in the history of the game. I'm sorry no. This is not babe ruth like. This is a guy who was putting up great numbers on both sides of the ball. He's an unbelievable hitter though unbelievable babe. Ruth didn't hit and pitch at the same time. He had seasons where he did. One of the other did but not to the extent that otani did fantasy. One hundred years ago So i i would say that this is the fantasy hitter of the euro. He's both he's hit or he's that he wouldn't be the pitcher of verse hitter of the year because of the hitting is is really carrying its value because while not says more stolen bases and almost many home runs i mean atanas. Combination was an early rally. It was the first round. Pick the top. Five pig otani. I don't know if he was really one. Seventy five to two hundred. I thought he was more like one. Twenty five or one hundred but now there is no way was going that soon. I'll i'll get the exact number for you but it was. It was after one fifty for sure. We'll we'll do the pictures of the first half on thursday. Show so vlad guerrero junior is probably going to miss out on american league. Mvp and fantasy player of the year because of taty. But what it's doing is is not stealing basis. But it's incredible vlad with a fifth or sixth round pick in most leagues but just incredible numbers look at the slugging percentage for vlad he slimmed-down gotten better shape playing a decent first base. Throwing not playing it any worse than you know first baseman. He's he's fine he's capable. they're no longer third baseman But i said my top three right now for fantasy hitter of the year would be number one otani number two to tease and then three because of the steals. And then three vlad matiz. He's unbelievable. We were worried member. In the first week able. He wouldn't even play the rest of the season because of the shoulder injury and still every time. I see him dive at shortstop. I get concerned. But i mean what a player just. What an unbelievable player he. The greatness of those names is what makes it difficult to make a case for anybody else and by the way. I'm sorry you're correct. Otani was in the top. Ninety overall pixie sword in the final two weeks of adp during spring training was around one twenty at the midway point of guess just people were chasing the names. I remember you. And i were discussing them. We just didn't think he was really a top hundred guy. Explains how great. He's been the one. I would make the case for in the top three. I actually think. Marcus semi deserves a mention here. As a potential fantasy hitter of the year in terms of value he was a guy was not going in the top hundred changing positions new team taking a one year deal as approve it kind of thing for a new contract. There were questions about him and what he has done is pretty extraordinary. But it is hard to go against. Vlad otani totti's probably otani. I'm probably tony ts. Flat as well. Do you have any shares of these players. Because i'm going about it. Yep so you did get italian leagues. I did not and people reached on. Vlad i i wanted to. You know like i feel like i learned a lesson here like i thought. I didn't think he would do this but i thought he'd be. Really good better than people believe but there was somebody in every league who believes a little bit more and the teach. You needed a top five. Pick for semi and i did not believe. I can't believe what he's doing right now. Another one who actually belongs in that conversation is carlos correa not yet. It's not a top three but but if you wanna talk about candidates who could get there he might get some third fourth place votes. When i when i write up hitter pitchers of the year half year. Whatever i look at where they were drafting. Their otani was drafted. You know whether it was round ten around fifteen. He was drafted in every league. Okay so was semi-in you know it wasn't centered moen's a baltimore is an absolute possibility for fantasy. Mvp right now because he went undrafted and pretty much every league and this is a guy on pace for twenty five. Twenty five homers deals with batting average. She's an all star. He's putting up incredible numbers. I took a chance on a mattel. I think it was last year. That was a year too early. May what a season. And if you wanna talk about the value of the pick he would be the winner because all these other guys were drafted and he was not yeah. I'm trying to dig this up as quickly as i can. And i've gotten a heck of a lot wrong this year but cedric mullins. I believe was the first player in my first three to add coma the year and i hope he will pick them up because if you did at that point that was the period at which it was known that he was contributing in the role and he has never stopped since that. Point one of the reasons for your case as to fantasy value. Is i think the wise fantasy managers as as you had said you got last year and touting you've got him at the beginning of the year here anybody who got him at the beginning of the year has reap the rewards of three excellent months of performance fascinating and you look closer as numbers and there's no reason to think that's going to stop either so you had it right. First week of the season got to add and took a little while for people to do it. But this is why you when you're leagues. Let's talk about some of the news. Not all of its happy as we get to this final week of the season. Well we're already in it because it's tuesday. Monday was a holiday couple of injuries. I call schwarzer. Who wrote an amazing june. This guy had a homer every day. he's on the injured list. It's significant hamstring strain. And i ask you in an espn standard. You drop because it might be two months and.

"Postseason seems like it has been decided by injuries. But that's been by acute injuries that have been during the postseason right. There's been a record number of all stars to miss a postseason game whatever else. I don't think we're quite in that boat yet in in baseball at. I think it's different if we get to the playoffs and you know there are multiple teams without their stars but at this point i think there are enough guys who are expected to come back at some point. I'm actually thinking of your crosstown rivals with the white sox. You know they may be getting loose. Robert de la jimenez back closer to the postseason or for the postseason. So he think. Until those things don't come to fruition. It's hard to say that it's necessarily deciding it at an. I also just think that you know with one hundred sixty two games. I i do think cream rises to the top especially with that. It's so many games that even if you are without a star you if you're the best team even without that player that will come through. I think And that's a little bit different when you're talking about other sports shorter seasons or whatever else sir as you've been watching baseball then for this again like the pretty much exact halfway point for most teams right now which storylines have stood out to you. So far that you've just really enjoyed watching and following the most. Oh my gosh. I mean the easy. Immediate anther has to be shohei ohtani. They know his starting. Yankee stadium did not go as plan but that doesn't even matter for this conversation. As far as i'm concerned. I mean he had two runs in any way to start the next day. He is absolutely incredible. Is leading the majors in home runs. And it's really cool because you know. I think we all remember when he signed when he came over from japan. And this is what it was potentially would. It could be rightly this was kind of the best case scenario and those don't always actually happen and it took a few years. He was really good as a pitcher in twenty eighteen but he did get injured. He wasn't really able to do both at the same time. He didn't get to hit on days when he pitched than in two thousand nineteen. He didn't pitch at all twenty twenty. He tried it. Didn't quite work. And now he's one of the best offensive players in the majors and also a really good pitcher who had a bad start the other night but a really good pitcher with an amazing amazing pitch with his splitter. And i just love how into it. Everybody is i it when he pitches and when he plays when he homers. He's one of those players where athletes in all sports or commenting on it. They're tweeting about it. And that's just a whole new level and i love to see that for baseball. Yeah i think it's absolutely great for the sport. Great brand just everything in the homerun derby like all of that but do another storyline. That kinda keeps my head is. We're talking that you know you're talking about the star or one of the stars in the league and then i find it interesting storylines this year with the guys that you don't know much about because of injuries were getting called up specifically for us. They know he just got hurt. during the brewers theories that patrick wisdom he's had a huge impact on the cubs and a lot of guys have come up from triple a. they're not the shohei otani but man of have they proven valuable for teams during when they've had injuries definitely and.

I love clans to scare anybody away from playing more that game but there is a little game called. Mario golf coming out at the end of this week. We're going talk about it next week. But by the time this episode comes out the game will be out so you can now say that this game you've been secretly teasing like dope has been mario golf. I think. I think we actually cut that from last week. So did we. Because they're worried so obvious. Like one game. you're talking. yeah yeah. I am extremely into mario golf and i am really looking forward to talking about it. I clap hands.

Evil eight near replicant apart. Good not bad. You know what not a bad year for. It's been slow. I'll say but there's some really good stuff on there. Yeah for sure. I think that we should see what the our friends at home are talking about. Maybe after a quick break. Because i bet they know some stuff we don't our friends at home have also played games that we didn't tell them to play which feels like a bit trail. I guess you know what i mean like. You taste bankers agreement like the fifth best. He you know that is true that extra bit. We need and we needed their help this year. Because if you look at our list not enough indie games and that's how good small game recommendations on on the listener mail absolutely. I'll dive into these right now. The first one is from cameron monster trains. Last expansion has now pushed it into being my second most played game of all time. Otherwise the rogue light slot machine game luck be a landlord is a lot of fun and album was a charming experience. One hundred percent an evening. I am fifty percent certain. That cameron is just in because this just sounds like another excuse for justin and talk about monster trade. I must've train fucking walls. An expansion out for i'm going to go play it now. A monster train rules. Griffin's role those two games both rule. I got a new. Hey if you like those. I got a new one of those coming up free at the end of the episode. So stay tuned these other to sound really good. I haven't played it. But i know russ has been banging the alba jump for a while right. That's when he's discussed. I might grab that on switch Rogue light slot machine luckily lord. That sounds good. I haven't. I haven't checked that out with sounds good up. After we have from raincloud backbone finally released to sierra and i am in love with the combo of detective furry ingredient aesthetic has me hooked in the twist was unexpected Did you get to try this game. No tell me understand this. I've never heard of it. But google says it was released in two thousand nineteen so i think that might have been when it popped up on steam early. Let me put up really quick. You are yes steam. I was born on january. First nineteen sixty four. That's definitely true. This is like a pixel noir aesthetic and this looks like it looks awesome looks like a raccoon detective and very beautifully lit pixel city dang. I think we need to play this game.

"This is my game of the year by a pretty huge margin. At this point. I think it could be unseated by Something that hits in in in a different way Something maybe a little bit more narrative lee satisfying because god knows monster. Hunter rise didn't scratch that it since it didn't have an ending when it came out but it condenses down everything i like about monster hunter and then put it on the switch in a time. Where like that was all. I could really play. I think it came out like a days before gus was born So like there were definitely a couple of nights in the hospital where i just didn't sleep because the baby didn't sleep And it was it it. It's i like monster. Hunter is a lot. I think it's very good. I don't know that there's much else to say about it. No it's good. I know it i. I think it's probably up there for russ also so he would he would. I know he would support this decision. If you've never played a monster hunter is game and people are all the questions always like. Is this the one. Here's all say no but it's never coming. It's folks that games. Not it's you know what they say time in the market beats timing the market. And that's that's very accurate for mosser to just go ahead and played the bullet. You're not gonna time the perfect entry point for this for me. It reminds me of the dark souls games where i don't always finish them put the more. I play them the better prepared. I am for the next one and it sounds like i've heard that was like monster energy to people like. Oh yeah world was the one i tried. I kinda got into it and then they tried you know rise in something. Oh okay now. I definitely get right. Yeah sure. I think that makes a lot of sense. It took me a you to get into it. But i never thought of that before but it it makes ended. It's like kind of cumulative. Maybe you can't enjoy the first one right. It's like the assassins creative like you're just getting the basics. You're not going to have fun. But next time then basic my first one was like monster hunter four ultimate on the we you and i was like this is nothing and then the next game i played i think was one hundred and that was the one that i write or monster hundred ultimate one of the three s. games you can skip out writers. I think we all agree to daddy. I have heard that that game got a patron that is. I don't know that it addressed copywriters whips ass definitely going on this list. Are you kidding me outriders. I've played guys. No i'm gonna have to go ahead and say that it's a lot of outriders which is a very fun game. That is very stupid. Something unthinkable stupid. It's a great you know not unlike loop hero. They're basically clones of each other basically like blue bureau. It's a game where i can do something with my good brain and let my ripped tillerson brain like shoot aliens or whoever you're shooting right. I just remember it being pretty fun. I've dip back into it because it had a lot of weirdness with your your gear getting deleted and stuff. Yeah that's that's the update that i've heard is that they've they've opened up the like fun. Weapon fire hose and did the like opposite of the thing that These always online games do the opposite of holy shit l. anthem or anthem. People are having fun too much fun those guns out there. They're doing the opposite. So i'm i'm curious to dip into our writers Then we talked about grand theft auto for like one hundred years. Can i put out writers now. Well yeah in front of me can always take it off. Yeah just meaningless lists that we're using to structure this segment. Yes we can't they get off snap. I didn't like it all. But i bet you guys not not particularly. I really enjoyed it. I think more than everybody else on this show haven't back to it. Yeah and i have. I don't really have any desire to go back to it. Feel differently about returning. Which was the other game that we discussed this week. So i have not actually played bunch return because i have been waiting for. That is another game that i have on my wait till all the patches get added ryan because there is a lot of trauma around saves and being able to see your game and i figured i would wait that one hour. How about you. I had a very interesting experience with returnable. The not very interesting. But i played it a lot and got extremely frustrated. It is a very frustrating game. It is the kind of game you talking about. Like i've wasted my time. That sort of broken part of my brain. That feels like games have to be edifying in some way they can't just be fun. are not uncommon to have like an hour and a half run that just gets undone in fifteen seconds of bad luck And that is absolutely infuriating.
