"If you're at Wrigley tonight too, by the way, and you see Joey chest, not just start filming. Just take your phone out, just do the thing. Just give video of them. He said he's engaged again is what he said. Do you think it's the same person or different individual? I did hear that again and there. Sounded like a different person. He kind of laughed at me. Oh, you think so? It was kind of like a yeah. You've done a lot of weird things in real life. Have you ever been engaged? I thought so once. I woke up next to someone and we had rings on our last calls. I've been to some chapels, they didn't answer, luckily. Who the chapel didn't answer? Chappell didn't answer, so was that in Las Vegas, Nevada? It was in Tahoe. Okay? Answer your question. Very good. A lot of beer straws that night. Yep. Hot dog beer straw, hashtag it. Oh baby. That is tonight. So you'll be on the lookout for that, right, TJ? No. What do you mean no? Mets are off tonight. I know. So I got to take a day off myself. Last night, this last couple of days were stressful baseball. I know that lead over the braves down to Sarah's very happy. Down to two, was she rooting for the Yankees actually the last couple of nights for the first time in a long time? Yeah. Something happened in the game where I was just like, please get a hit here or something. And it might have been for Alonso, and she's like, what are you talking about? I'm like, I don't want the Yankees to win ever. I mean, with all due respect to your team. And I respect you, sir. I wrote for two teams, the red Sox, and it was ever playing the Yankees. I respect I respect you on that front. And that sort of spite will help keep you warm in October as you watch other people play baseball. That would be great. I'm already looking at the 2023 schedule that's out. Is that right? Yeah. Who's going to be your starting pitcher? First week? No idea. Nick pavetta. As dever is going to be paid or not. I mean, honestly, I have no idea. Nick pavetta. That's who you want to be your opening day starter. He's our best pitcher right now. Guys, that's a horse. Oh, he turned it around because it was coop and I dropped him a few weeks ago. Oh, he's been great. Yeah, he's been great. I don't know. It's going to be great though. Aaron judges return to Yankee Stadium as June 9th. Are you saying what's up with the San Francisco Giants are in? That's when the Red Sox play, though. Yeah, right. That will happen when a spot very warm spot freezes over. You keep on warming your heart by that fire, sir. I saw people tweeting out the Giants like JoJo's return to Yankee Stadium. Got it. Got it. 48 and counting for 99. Is he going to get 61, do you think? I don't know. It's been a rough goal. He's only one off. We've got four against the a's and then three against the arty morenos. So we'll see. But he tells us a week left in August and he's got like the third or fourth most home runs ever before. Well, that'll wrap it up for this edition of the rich eyes and show we greatly appreciate it. We'll see you right back here on our YouTube stream on Thursday. Once again, once again, we're on YouTube until the Roku channel

"We have a pretty good understanding of that, but I do wonder if, you know, when guys are using, if the ballpark is love, they do have a hard time hearing, and they can go to signs if they need to, but do you think that there's a teeny tiny even teeny tiny bit of home field advantage being eked out in ballparks where the fans are rowdy and the opposing team is using pitch comp. Potentially, yeah, because how is teenagers? Probably just teeny, tiny. And I imagine there aren't that many situations where you can't hear it. I know there were some cases where some picture said there were some super loud scoreboard noise or music or something and maybe they had some trouble. I don't know, maybe they've adjusted the headsets or the volume at this point. But I would see how you might think, well, they've been using fingers to call signs forever, so you could just go back to that. So it's a big deal. But if you have adjusted to and maybe you're not even on the same page with the signs and everything, then it wouldn't necessarily be so easy to flip back to that. It's like we talk about with robo umps and the automated ball strike system. It's like if you get accustomed to that and then suddenly the system malfunctions for some reason, well, you could say just go back to calling the pitches then you were back there the whole time, but if you weren't mentally prepared to do that and you weren't really psyched up to do it, you weren't paying as close attention and you were used to just delegating that to the computer, then you might not be prepared. You might not be able to do it at as high a level as you would have previously. So yes, I'd be curious about that. I also just generally curious about whether it's made a difference in pace of play, I actually did email MLB about this earlier this month because I was wondering about that, I was thinking, maybe I could do some sort of study on that. I hoped that they might have some record of when pitch come was in use. Maybe the teams had reported it to the league or something, and their spokesperson told me I will check, but I'm not sure if we do, and he never filed up. So I assumed that they don't, but he did say, I do know that we attribute improved pace of game to at a clip of a reduction of two minutes per game specifically because of this initiative. I don't know whether he means two minutes per game when it's in use or two minutes per game overall, even though it's not always in use, and I have no idea how they are getting the two minutes per game estimate either whether they timed some pictures with and without as they were testing it or something and they've extrapolated from that. But I would be interested in seeing those numbers if the data existed, which evidently it doesn't. Yeah. So that would be another thing that we would be curious about. I was just going to ask you, what are their little bits of data you wish were in the stackhouse sheet, but that's a pretty big question. So maybe we can put a pin in that idea we can save it for later episode or something. Okay. Owen says, not sure if there's a league wide correct answer to this, but realistically, how much time do players have to train in season? I know they take batting practice, some fielding drills, bullpen sessions, et cetera, but where they're playing every day, they can never spend too long training in my mind, or am I missing something, and we better get this right, where I will hear from Michael lorenzen. His arms suggest that there are no off days for him. Yes, he is definitely doing some type of training there. Yeah, every day is arm day for my roller runs in. So there's some time, I think it's true that if you're doing some massive swing overhaul or a new delivery or what have you are trying to develop a pitch that it is perhaps preferable to undertake a large project like that in the off season or during spring training where you have more time to devote to that and then cement those new movements in your muscle memory because yeah, I think Owen's right. There's a lot going on during the season and there's a lot of recovery that you have to do and you have to make sure that you're working out, but also not over stressing yourself and fatiguing yourself and losing weight and strength and then you have to just kind of keep yourself at a certain level and so if you're constantly tinkering and there are players who just by default they are constantly tinkering with things, then I think that can be tough, which is why I'm always impressed when someone is able to identify some flaw in fix it why I was kind of charmed by the Nick pavetta anecdote where he just like fixed his mechanics in the middle of a start and has been largely lights out since then. That's pretty cool, but that was not a dramatic overhaul necessarily. So I think there are certain ways that you can train and there are certain ways in which I think the old types of training where maybe not the most effective or efficient types of practice. And so you've seen some players go away from just taking your standard low velocity, BP before games and if they're doing anything, maybe they're taking high speed game speed BP in the cage before the game or their training with some very advanced realistic recreation of a pitcher with one of the new types of hitting machines that were pitching machines..

"Laughing about it already, Mike. We're going. The awesome way to hangover. Raiders fans were found on mattresses on rooftops everywhere. The island went doubles down on them. Everybody went to Mike Tyson's house and saw his zoo. The autumn wind split 7. Damn straight. Wow, I mean, not against a three. You're the worst object. Do not sit at my third base, sir. All right, let's take a break here. Take your phone calls. And we come back 8 four four two O four rich, number to dial. Back here on our terrestrial radio outfit with a one big happy family. All right, let's take some phone calls. Craig and Toronto. This phone call potentially intrigues me. What's up, Craig? How are you, sir? Well, dear diary, today I've made my first guest appearance on the rich eisen show and I hope you are a professional ears picked up a few things there, rich. First of all, guest appearance, as I make Blue Jays and fantasy baseball content. So yes, in my mind, I'm going to go ahead and treat this as a guest appearance. Sure. Well done. And first, thank you. And first, Richard, you're going to love this. First guest appearance. There's my George Costanza. I've already taken my hat off and stuffed it behind the pillow cushion on the rich eyes and show I've already set up my leave behind. Thank you very good. I like it. I like Craig already. What's on your mind, correct? What's on your mind? Well, rich, first of all, I mean, in all seriousness, just a tip of a hat for everything you do with the run rich run. So I just want to commend you on that. Thank you. And respected up here in Canada. Rich, I always wanted to know from a big time Yankee fan like yourself. I did it all a big deal. Well, really, what do you remember? How did it resonate in the Yankee fan base back in the day when Dave Winfield killed that seagull up here in Toronto? What do you remember about that? And exhibition stadium. And the old exhibition stadium. Yeah, with Ernie Whit behind home plate. I'm sure. Dave Steve, and all those old Toronto Blue Jays back in the day. I was thinking you were calling a crow in about the comeback, the Blue Jays threw on the Yankees yesterday to avoid being swept. I thought that's what you were calling in about, Craig. That's what it is. Well, you guys, were you guys were this close to being downright rude guests this past weekend? That's for darn sure. Yes. I know the Blue Jays are almost the bird that we splattered this time around. That almost was it. Oh my goodness. And a real tough weekend for the whole while the Yankees haven't played anybody crowd. The Yankees are like, what, 21 and 7 against winning teams? That's by a mile, the best in baseball. They're like, what is that? 7 and three now or 7 and four, 8 and four maybe even against a J's this season. Yeah, they're eating four. Yankee team is for ritten 8 and four. There you go. And rich, I would really love to know from you. Is there honestly if there is a team in the AL east where you're saying, you know what, Craig, I'll just be honest with you. A team that could catch us a team that I still have my eyes on is X, does that seem even exist? And if so, rich, I'd love to know who it is. Well, the team that concerns me is the one that the Yankees are playing later on this week, the Houston Astros, the only other 40 win team in the American League. With Verlander pitching the way that he's pitching and they can hit out of their shoes. And I just love the thanks to the call Craig. I appreciate it. Did you see the responses to buster only who's one of our favorites? He tweeted out last night that on the Sunday Night game that Jose Altuve was going to wear the wire for them last night. On the mentions got trash and trash, really? Yeah. 'cause it's the truth that you know Sunday Night baseball puts microphones on players and it's outstanding in sight, but buster, buster had to know when he gets sent on that to avoid his mentions. About all there's lots of chime in. Lots of chime in about what Jose Altuve had under his Jersey. Any new tattoos. It was not pretty. But I was there with my popcorn. Yankees went up Yankees went up 8 three yesterday. And I thought that was it, but the bullpen blew it. And the Jays reminded everybody that they have a considerable offense. Considerable offense. But there's one 60 of 18 I wouldn't be worried. They're 1616 and two in June. 16 to two in June, and they sent Garrett call out there to stop it. They could have win their 50th game yesterday, but instead they moved within 11. Never going to lose. Nick pavetta was pitching much better in the last 6 weeks than he did in the first month, but you could say that about the entire Red Sox team. That has been awesome. He's been trained. He has been and the rays have slipped up a bit, and Red Sox are on the verge of moving into third place. Trying to get themselves in that wild card spot. Wouldn't that be ironic if Tito is the one to keep the Red Sox out of that third wild card spot because the Indians blame very well. Guardians, guardians partners. I'm gonna have to do that. Oh, the White Sox are now in that in the race too. Look at that, the angels are in a mix the White Sox. Right behind a Red Sox, but it's the cheese guardians and a wild card. They are really fun race. It's gonna be a really fun race. And that's the.

"It's not as if they won't be able to hire, but it did matter to the baseball people that Joe Maddon is referring to that Moreno did not treat his people particularly well during the pandemic. And I think that you saw voluntary departures from that organization in the wake of that. So to the extent that that continues to sort of dog them and impact their hiring, if one of the things that they need to do to really take a step forward as a franchise is overhaul some of the front office infrastructure and really think critically about how they're engaging with analytics, not just now but going forward. There might be more of a lag there than you would expect if they aren't able to convince people like, yeah, come to LA and help us be a team that wins. So that is something that, you know, to consider treating people well, the new inefficiency. Yeah. And I think we did a little snapshot of the change in playoff ads relative to the start of the season once we were one month into regular season. Now we're a little more than two months in and just looking at the change since May 8th may 7th was the one month anniversary of opening day, so since May 8th, there actually only a couple teams whose playoff ads fortunes have significantly changed since May 8th, may 7th was the one month anniversary of opening day. So since May 8th, you have the angels who are down 43.7 percentage points. Yeah, that's a lot. So that's the big change and then on the positive side, you have the Red Sox who have increased their chances by 31.3 percentage points. They have turned their season around and that's really it for any enormous leaps like that. You have a few teams that are in the plus or minus ten percentage point range the brewers and the Giants have lost about that much the rays have gained about that much and that's about it. So really, the angels, the notable losers over the past months, losers in more than one way and many times over and the Red Sox, the notable winners there. And it was the Red Sox who actually lost to the angels on Thursday, snapping that streak. Nick pavetta was pitching who we talked about earlier this week and this mechanical change. He pitched well again. Just not quite well enough. So in the realm of perplexing managerial moves, we have our palatal roussea. He has authored more than one of them and he was back at it on Thursday because he issued a curious intentional walk of his own. Now it was not Madden level, but it did make some people think, huh. That was interesting. And Ben clemons has blogged about that as well. He's swung into action and vlogged about a weird intentional walk. I guess that's one of his beats. But larussa, the weird thing here was that he walked trade Turner on a one two count. To get to max Muncie and what had happened, there was a wild pitch, right? And so the base got down to second. Yeah, and so first base was open. And if the play appearance had started that way, it wouldn't have been so weird if you had had first base open in that situation in a runner in scoring position and they had a lefty pitching. So he was trying to get the platoon advantage against the left handed Muncie. So if there had not been two strikes, it wouldn't have been that weird. Although it's worth noting that Muncie has career reverse splits and even if you regress that, he doesn't have much of a projected platoon split, but there.

" EP sports, I'm shark Freeman. The Golden State Warriors made it look easy and gave one of the NBA's Western Conference Finals, a lopsided one 1287 win over Dallas. Steph Curry had 21, says the offense was in full throttle. We had a couple possessions and third quarter, we got in trouble, but for the most part, we were pretty decisive. Warriors were helped when the Mavs high scoring guard Luka Dončić was held to a quiet 20 on 6 of 18 shooting. NHL playoff openers Carolina used Ian Cole's overtime goal to beat the New York rangers two to one. Oh, good, obviously. Winning the game is what matters. You know, kind of getting our first taste of OT is great. High scoring a fair in Calgary, the flames beat Edmonton 9 to 6 on the hat trick from Matthew chuck. To baseball, the LA Dodgers have won 5 in a row, Mark Myers reports on a 5 three win over Arizona. The game turned in the fourth inning when the Dodgers put up four runs turning a two to one deficit into a 5 two lead. Justin Turner had the big blow, a three run Homer off Zach Davies. Colorado down San Francisco, CJ Crone's three run shot in the 8th inning lift at the rockies to a 5 three win. Kesten Hiro made his return to the major is a good one. He smashed a two run Homer at the bottom of the 11th inning and it lifted Milwaukee to a 7 6 comeback win over Atlanta. Guys the game went on at basketball better and I think there's some opportunities where I kind of missed out on. So you just wanted to just want to get the runner over. Nick pavetta is two hitter, carried Boston pass Houston 5 to one. New York mets beat St. Louis 13 to four. Zack Wheeler tossed 7 shutout innings in Philadelphia's three zero win over San Diego. Command was good for the most part. It wasn't all the way there, but it was good for the most part. Get away with some pitches for sure. Other winners Washington Pittsburgh, the New York Yankees, Texas, Minnesota, Kansas City, Seattle, and Tampa also won. The PGA Championship will begin today without Bryson DeChambeau, who withdrew because of his surgically repaired wrist. Check free button, AP sports.

"Yeah, and just first of all, I really think that Nathan Navalny was going to start opening day even if sale was healthy because I think this was going to be a reward that of all the anchor the staff last year. He didn't necessarily he was their best guy in the playoffs again. Second playoff run in a row that he was their best guy. So I do believe that he was pitching opening day no amount of work. But he really has been a steady horse for them. And this guy is just a workout maniac. I mean, nobody works harder in the weight room. They're on his craft. He just goes up a very quiet. He doesn't seek attention. And I think Dave dumbrowski took some heat for that contract. The first year went up all the had an injury early and then they moved into the bullpen and back to the rotation. He really had a tough year, but that was really the price they paid for how they pushed him in 2018 and nobody wants to that World Series ring that they wouldn't have won without him. But yeah, the COVID year he was very good. Last year, he was even better. And now they think there's no reason to think that this year he stays healthy. Again, kind of the anchor to the starting rotation probably lead them in endings this year. That's where I think it hurts sales injury really hurts because if you put sail and a ball at the top of the rotation, that one, two dynamic is much different than having Nathan valde and I'll do respect to Nick pavetta and maybe Nick pavetta takes a big, big step up this year. What about Nick pavetta? Yeah, I really have a good feeling, but they feel better. This guy, this guy's a bulldog, man. I think he showed the world get to see a little bit of him of him in the playoffs last year..

"Will be pitching for the Boston Red Sox. Assuming that we have a 2022 season, rich, how you doing? Good buster, thanks. How are you doing? I'm doing great. Thanks for joining us real quick before I ask you about some of these prose rule changes. Tell me how you're following this news because you and I are taping at about 1230 on Wednesday. It feels like the negotiations are at a tipping point. Maybe by the end of the day, we hear the news that things get done. How closely are you following it minute to minute? Yeah, I've been following it from our representative Nick pavetta, who's keeping all the players with the Red Sox up to speed with what's going on. I think part of it, a lot of it has become closed doors now and they're really trying to get things done for the right reasons. Obviously, to get the season and a 162 underway. It would be great for everybody. I know every time I go for a run or hit the grocery store, it seems like you run into somebody who wants to know what's going on and when we're going to have baseball. So that's on the front of everybody's mind, especially now in the northeast and the weather is starting to turn and get a little bit better. And little league baseball is right around the corner as well. So that's where I'm getting my information. It's a little bit of a third party distance and some of it I'm picking up on TV as well. So very similar to I'm sure the way minus the fact of getting it from our player representatives from almost the same as everybody else. How tense is it for you? Like getting that news or is it anxious or are you like, for example, a couple of weeks ago at a conversation with Tony Kemp of the Oakland athletics and he was like, you know what? I can't control it so I don't really worry about it. Yeah, I definitely can see that sentiment from Tony and I feel the same way. It's kind of, you know, a lot of my hands and I can give my two cents from the sideline and tell Nick what I think about certain maybe issues that have popped up in where I stand on different things that have come across their table and what they're talking about. But and all that helps I think kind of form a little bit more of an answer that they're looking for from the player's side to get the right proposal across four MLB and then also for both sides to come together, just looking forward to seeing where we're going to end up here as soon as possible so we can get the season underway. And the thing that the only one thing that doesn't make it as frustrating for me is that knowing what guys did in the past for us in the situations that we're in as major league players is what we're doing for the guys who are coming up after us. And that gives me a little bit more of a sense of direction of where we're going in a little bit more of a not so much that I don't want the season to start, but make sure that we get this agreement right and that we move forward for the betterment of the game. I wanted to get your perspective on some of the rules changes, potential rule changes that Major League Baseball is forwarding during the course of these conversations and because it's one thing to talk about them on paper. It's a whole other thing to actually try to implement them. And we'll start with this. The pitch clock. According to what's being discussed, 14 seconds between pitches with no runners on base, 19 seconds between pitches if there are runners on base. When you saw those numbers, what was your thought? Yeah, I mean, I guess if we're going to have to implement something, which I'm against, I don't really believe baseball has never been timed. It's a sport about coming home, right? So it's not about it's one of the unique factors of baseball houses that there is no clock. And I don't see the huge gain in time advantage that we're going to get as opposed to actually seeing what the penalties are going to be. If you don't make it within the 14 seconds or the 19 seconds and then is it going to be a ball? Is it going to is it going to is it going to have implications on the outcome of a game? Which certainly will it doesn't matter if it's in the first inning or it's the 9th inning and a full count and the bases are loaded and hey, that's ball four. Now all of a sudden you walk the run home and because of the pitch clock, it just doesn't make any sense to me. I think what really needs to be looked at is being able to come up with a quicker answer to instant replay or the replays. And just having that get that back quicker to the umpires from New York than some of the times that have taken because it can take up to 5, 6 minutes. I've seen it go on for quite a while. We're obviously they want to get the call right, but in the grand scheme of things and the entire how much time does that taking up as opposed to just having maybe like a red light or a green light saying he's safe or he's out or it's fair it's fall ball where it could take just seconds and we continue to keep the moving progress of the game going. But then what about if the batter steps out of the box, you know, how does that fit as a reset? Now, a lot of things are going to because the Corey, just the way the game is choreographed and then how the picture might be out there and conducting there's a whole to me there's a whole other art form that's going on as opposed to just robotically getting the ball getting ready and then pitch get the ball. There's timing in between pitches from a pitcher standpoint. There's a stepping out of the box with the batter. I mean, maybe if we could look at it, I don't even know what I was thinking and like maybe the first three innings. But every, in my opinion, in every at bat, there was something where there's a little bit more time that has taken and why are you taking an extra three or four seconds or 5 seconds in between pitches. Or the timing of when the hitter steps out, it creates that cat mouse game between the hitter and the picture that we could end up losing. So that's where I'm not a fan of it..
Behind the Bets

"Be matched up with draymond green at times and draymond's been a pretty good defender in terms of limiting his efficiency in the past. On the warrior side, probably didn't watch much warriors basketball in the preseason, but Jordan Poole was absolutely like Klay Thompson light playing alongside Steph Curry. His point prop is 17 and a half and based on what he did in the preseason next to Steph Curry was averaging 31 points per 36 minutes with Steph Curry off the floor, which pool will kind of run the second unit. He was at 37 points for 36 minutes in the preseason. So no Klay Thompson equals massive scoring opportunity for Jordan Poole and I think he will be called upon to be that, you know, secondary score alongside Steph Curry. Back to that first game, Brooklyn and Milwaukee since we didn't touch on that. I like drew holiday under 6 and a half assists. He'll be focused defensively on James hard, which can lead to foul trouble. And he had a really, really low potential assist rate against his Brooklyn team, specifically in this micro matchup for whatever reason, maybe it had to do with focusing defensively on hardened, speaking of hardened, I like him to go over 9 and a half assists. His double double prop is minus one 70. Over 9 and a half assists is minus one 40. So I think he'll get the double double, but why not get the better price on just playing over 9 and a half assists specifically? He could do it with rebounds, I guess, yeah. Could. Right. I think a Brooklyn's added enough big bodies that rebounds don't have as triple doubles this season. But I think it's gonna be harder for him to get ten rebounds unless some of those big guys start losing time due to injury. And of course he soaks up all that assist rate due to Kyrie's absence. And withdrew holiday guarding him, you know, it's going to be harder for him to get buckets. So he might be looking to Kevin Durant who has a much easier matchup with no PJ Tucker in the lineup tonight for Milwaukee. So I think cards will be looking to create. And then Kevin Durant over 30 and a half points. Is that plus one O 5 right now? And that seems silly to me. Again, no Kyrie equals all the usage and all the shots for Durant. And no PJ Tucker to deal with defensively in a micro matchup as Tucker's out tonight equals a slightly easier matchup. So for the greatest score I've ever seen with the basketball in his hand and a game, I expect to go over a total of two 33. I think Durant's in line for something in the mid 30s if not 40 points. That is cool. That is really cool. I'm excited for the NBA season, but let's not sleep on the baseball. Playoffs, obviously the Dodgers. Dodgers down to a virtual must win. They have the day game here from Chavez ravine and I want to look, I've been biased. I get it. Bueller is going against more Dodgers should open open up a can here on a righty. But the bras are good, man. They have timely hitting and that's without even Freeman getting going. So I don't know what to expect. I do like the Dodgers first 5 with Bueller here. I'm the same way. I just play the Dodgers first 5 run line, lay the half run minus one 15, again, the price isn't great, but I thoroughly. People are a thing in this series is over, absolutely insane. The Dodgers haven't played a home game yet. So wait until Atlanta gets one at Dodger Stadium to start making those type of proclamations. But the Dodgers certainly absolutely can win four of the next 5 games against Atlanta. And I think in an obviously, you know, not do or die, but a situation where you want to win, you know, improve your chances drastically of winning the series. I think you're going to get an all hands on deck great performance from Bueller and that line up against Charlie Morton. Who is good, but again, the Dodgers can bang up righty. So I'll lay the half run in the first 5 minus one 15. Good stuff is always my friend, anything in the night game? Yeah, not as much conviction as the first game, given the scenario, but my leans right now, again, if you don't feel comfortable playing this without my strong conviction, I understand my lanes are at the Astros will tie it up. So I'll play them on the money line at plus one 15 and I think we might see a more runs again. The total last night was 9. They went way over. It's now been juiced up to ten for today's matchup. And I might even go over that as well. The Red Sox lineup is white hot and especially the lefties like Devers verdugo and schwarber can get breaky who has had some trouble with lefties this season. And then the Astros line up is still as good as any and Major League Baseball. And I'm not going to be you know worried about the starter for the Red Sox who escapes. It's not pavetta. Who's going for the Red Sox? Yeah. It's pavetta and great. Okay, so I was like, I couldn't remember exact the top I had I knew it was a righty and the red and the Astros bang against right. So yeah, Nick pavetta, done scare me against the Astros, and then on the other side, Zack Greinke's had some troubles lefties in that Red Sox lineup is hot right now. So maybe leaning towards the over there. And if I had to guess who wins the game, I just take the Astros on the money line and a plus one 15 price. I have to bet the Red Sox team total over. I mean, they've just been raking like you said quite hot. So I will do that. All right, we'll see everyone later today 6 eastern on ESPN2 looking forward to a Tyler and you've obviously teased us with your dog of the day play. Who's it gonna be? We shall see..

"The code BS J for up to 200% in bonuses on your initial deposit. Thanks, Greg. All right, game three ALCS Red Sox and Astros tonight at Fenway Park actually games three, four, 5, the next three nights, Sean mcadam, of course, will be there for all of them. I actually Sean, I'll be there too, so I'll see you at the ballpark, but we want to preview the game three matchup to start. And really the rest of this series, which really took a turn after those two games in Houston for a couple of reasons. For one Houston's pitching is really a bit of a mess. I didn't go deep with either of their starters. You're dealing with an injury to their game two starter who's still on the roster and a question mark as of now. And obviously without their ace Lance mccullers. So Houston's got and they spent their game for starter in game two. So the Red Sox lineup really well here against Houston. Can they capitalize? Well, there's certainly a good position to do so, John. They're coming home where they have played exceedingly well at Fenway, not just over the course of the season, but in the postseason as well. They're undefeated in their three games at home, having won the wild card. And of course, games three and four in the division series against Tampa Bay, the crowds have been raucous at Fenway, Alex core keeps saying that each game, it seems louder than the previous one. And there really is a energetic atmosphere at Fenway. That should help. But between the lines, the real advantage, excuse me, the Red Sox have at this point is, as you noted, the pitching is much better positioned than the Astros. The Red Sox did not have to use any of their potential games three and four starters that's Eduardo Rodriguez and likely Nick pavetta for game four at all over the weekend. They were available in the bullpen, but weren't needed. So they start on regular rest and are fully replenished from the previous round. And the day off on Sunday allows guys like how and whitlock and others to bounce back and be available to give them multi innings. Out of the bullpen. Meanwhile, as you noted, the Astros rather are have to be questioning whether they have Luis Garcia going forward after he came out in the second inning and J code are easy..

"Yeah, and I'm going to ask you about Alex for again. I had a follow up on that. But just about Nick pavetta, I've just been it's been fun to watch him in this role, you know, getting the save in the final day of the regular season. You know his background, you know, he was someone when he was with the Philadelphia affiliates, which you'd hear all the time was boy he's got a temper. Like he has a hard time maintaining his composure. Maybe that doesn't suit him well and being a starting pitcher because he can't get control of that. You see it come out from time to time kind of reminds me a bit a little bit of John Lester. Remember there are times when John Lester would get mad at an umpire's call and David Ross would have to go out to the mount and yell at him and tell him to get a control. But you know pavetta, how much fun is that to watch him sort of evolve as a pitcher? It's amazing. And he's a guy and I've seen him a lot in the blue Jay part of my life. They tend to play the Phillies every year in interleague play. And now, of course, you know, he's with the Red Sox and they play the Red Sox a ton. So I've seen him pitch a lot. And even in games in which he got hit, and I'm sure you would agree with me. Like pretend you don't know the name or the background or the bio or the stats or anything. Just generic picture. You'd watch him and you'd say, boy, that's good stuff. Like that is that fastball plays. That curveball plays. And to me, at the time of the deal last year, honestly, my thought of the moment was what a perfect change of scenery kind of guy Nick pavetta is. Like, it just felt like he needed a fresh start. And I'm not saying I could foresee he would turn into this. And he had it up and down. Year or two, but his up is pretty good. And like you said, he's got a lot of intensity, a lot of emotion on him. I've had a chance to visit with him a couple of times, as you know all Canadians know each other and I visited with them. And he's, you know, with me for the nicest kid in the world. Nice young man in the world. You know, you've heard other things like you said about the temper or the you know he can really get in his own way a little bit sometimes, you know, maybe just a change of scenery and some maturity and different voices talking to and boy whether it's the 6th inning that I'm getting the first inning. He seems to embrace be embracing his role right now. And again, I suspect he will be in the bullpen tonight. We saw him after game two as a war of bores and I were sitting in the booth doing our postgame hit up on the monitor in our booth that you're familiar with. He went down to the bullpen and put that through in the bullpen because he wasn't needed in game two. That says to me, he's starting game four. That was his between outings, throwing session. But if Eduardo Rodriguez gets knocked out on the second, he could be in tonight. We know Alex Cora, but I gotta believe plan is that he starts game four. And again, he's still stretched out enough where he could give Alex Coro 5 good innings, I think. Maybe even a little bit more than that if it goes well. You've talked about Alice core is acumen for making pitching changes in finding out in a pitching staff, even when his guys are tired. How would you describe what makes him great as a manager? I think he is the best combination we have in the game today of the numbers and the people. Understanding and using the numbers and relating to the people. I think he makes the 26th person on his roster feel like the most important person on this roster. We asked him what he said to Chris sale when he took sail out of the most recent start in the third inning because Alex stayed out there for a while. And he said, I looked him in the eye and I think he patted him on the chest, and he said, you did great, and you're going to be a big part of this going forward. He's conscious. He doesn't want to lose Chris sale, knowing he's going to need Chris sale later on. I think and you've known Alex a long time. I think Alex port is great with people. I don't know that he gets enough credit for that. I think even when the lineup card is posted or a reliever comes in or rolls change, I think he's got a way of making sure that guys feel important. And he empowers them. And listen, we all know that a lot of the decisions that managers are making are group things. They're getting input from the analytics department in the front office pregame. So some of it is dictated in advance. A lot of it still has to be done on the fly. He's not going to get outmaneuvered. He's way too smart for that. He's not going to panic. He's way too, you know, way too cool for that. And I think he's as good with people as I said as any manager in the game. What a pivot point for the Red Sox franchise that's 72 hours last fall when they were debating whether or not to hire Alex's manager or Sam fold. And there were voices within the Red Sox organization who wanted to go with saint fold. I remember hearing that Dan and thinking, what are you crazy? That Alex is so good as a manager and it turned out well for the Red Sox and look sampled probably going to be a great manager too. But Alex corp as a manager for the Red Sox a perfect fit. All right, before you go, I wanted to ask you about the Blue Jays. You meant to do a lot of Blue Jays game during the course of the year. Give me the lay on the land and Marcus Simeon and Robbie ray, who were both hitting the free agent market. And what do you think chances are the Blue Jays keep one or both of these guys? The fan base buster by and large, of course, wants both of them resigned. And how could you not, right? With the kinds of seasons they had. I think they financially could resign both of them, but that would probably hamstring them in other areas. Vladimir Guerrero junior is hitting arbitration. Oscar Hernandez is in arbitration. And Jose barrios is a free agent at the end of next year. So P either requires arbitration or a one year deal or an extension. I think you're asking me what I think will happen. If I had to guess, I would guess neither one of them is back to be honest with you. With Simeon it's interesting. There are a couple of things the Blue Jays can't compete with. They can't become a West Coast team and Marcus is a West Coast guide, you know, east bay played with Oakland, the Blue Jays..

"Showman he's doing play by play on the American League championship series for ESPN radio. Dan how you doing? I'm doing great buster. How about you? I'm doing okay. I'm guessing by now, dusty baker has probably asked you if you can start for his team in a game, because all of his other starting pitchers are getting hurt. Holy cow. I mean, how quickly things can change. You know, Lance mccullers looks like they're as and then he can't pitch, and now Luis Garcia, he says he's feeling better, but he walked off the mound in the second inning of game two, and Jose Arcadia, as you know who started game three tonight because of The Rain delay and they bumped mccullers into his spot. He hasn't pitched in 15 days. And now so he's going into a game at Fenway Park in a game in which they desperately need some length out of them. Things look pretty stable. You know, odor is he through 82 pitches? How far can Zack reinke go if they go to him? It's amazing how different this looks and it did just a couple of weeks ago for them. Yeah, you know, I mean, look, I established the fact on Friday that basically all of my picks leading up to this the championship series have been wrong. But as you sit here today, I'm having a hard time envisioning a reasonable path for the answers to get through this series because of the pitching challenges. Yeah, I agree with you. So I mean, it's got to start with orchid pitching well in this one. And then I think the most likely path and I'm not saying it works, but it's from revolves on short rest and game four, because he had such an abbreviated such an abbreviated game. And then in game 5, can you go to odor rizzy? Can you go to Garcia? I mean, there's no question at least once maybe twice in these three games at Fenway that dusty and Brent stromer going to have to junk it up a little bit and use three, four, 5 guys, whether it's an opener, and then a bolt guy or a bullpen game, whatever you want to call it. And it's crazy. But you know what? We're seeing the Dodgers do crazy stuff. And they've got the highest payroll in baseball. And it's just it's crazy what some teams are having to do right now. But I think it has to start with their key pitching well tonight that my guess is Valdez starts game four. Yeah. And that circle of trust for dusty baker seems very narrow at this point or small I should say. Jayco derisi that pitching the other day, he wasn't on the roster in the first round of the playoffs. He didn't look good the other day when he came in and relief and that after they suffered the injury and game two. The one thing that stuck with me and I mentioned this earlier in the podcast is I can remember talking with AJ Hinch before he started her kitty in a World Series game in 2019. And you may have been in the room with me. I can't remember. But I remember AJ just looking at me looking at us saying he is not afraid. He established that right off the gate. Look, whatever happens, he might go out and get hit hard, but this is not a guy intimidated by the situation. A 100%. And if he was saying that in 2019, then you've got to believe it's even better than that in 2021. You know, and I don't think Robert Valdez is afraid and I don't think Christian Javier was afraid Luis Garcia didn't look right. But their young pitchers do seem very mature and very confident for the most part. And if our key gets hit tonight, you know, he might get kicked, but it's not going to be because he's nervous or anything like that. So it's not like they're out of the series. They've got a fighting chance. It's not like Eduardo Rodriguez is the lock. You know, for the Red Sox, he said, one not good and one quite good. You know, I think the Red Sox are in better shape because they've got maybe the surest thing and that's Nathan of Aldi. That's the closest thing to a lock that you that you have in this series. But Chris stale, who knows at this point, you know, so I'm expecting a lot of four hour and 6 minutes, 7 to 5, 9 to 6, lots of full counts, lots of meetings on the mask. These two part of it too is both of these offenses are so, so good. They are objectively two of the four or 5 best offenses in baseball this year in the Red Sox and the Astros. And I think we've got to remember that part as well. This is not easy what both the teams are trying to do. I feel like the one thing was sale, you know, in game one, if there was value to what happened was, is it an almost defined for Alex core, what he can expect that of Chris sale going forward? You know, he came out of the gate great when he came back from Tommy John surgery for the first time. And then gradually like a lot of pitchers coming back from that surgery. His velocity waned his performance Wayne, he had an ugly start early in the postseason and so everyone kind of wondered, okay, with extra rest. How's he going to do against the Astros? And he wasn't good. And I almost feel like that moving forward that's valuable information for Alex gore. What do you think? Yeah, I think a 100%. And I think a couple of Alex Cora's got two things going for him to a greater extent than I think dusty baker does. One is Tanner, how could one is Nick pavetta? I mean, those guys can really be the difference plus. I don't think there's any manager in baseball, better at doing this kind of stuff, manipulating the craziness of the current pitching climate than Alex Cora. You know, he did it in 2018. We saw that. And he will do it now. And how it wasn't good in his last one, but as you know, he's had multiple 5 inning outings. One of the regular season one of the postseason recently where he was great. And Nick pavetta has been like the absolute game changer for the Red Sox on a couple of occasions right now. So even in a sale game, if he were to get two or three innings of how could arrest and I don't put that up might start game four. So it might be out if we're talking about a game 5. You know, it's crazy. Back in the day, you and I could sit before game one and we could say, well, in buster or only pitching three and 7, Charlie Morton's pitching three and 7. You could always have those conversations. Now it's the day of game three. We don't know who started game four. It's just crazy, how it's changed. But I think with how can pavetta, that gives Alex gore a couple of advantages, even if sale has a short outing, I think the Red Sox are a little bit better suited to figuring it out. Ota rises out for a couple. He's not going to pitch tonight. I don't think he pitches tomorrow. That rank is going to have to get some outs for Houston at some point. And maybe it's just a starter, maybe it's for two innings and then thrombo vault is comes in after him, maybe to turn a guy around or something, but it's fascinating to me. Just as you do, I love falling along. Not second guessing. Just playing along with the managers and their decision making process and there's no shortage of that..

"The World Series, or they just like flop out in the division series in three or four games. Right. The two John Ferrell trips, but yeah, I don't know what to make of it. I mean, the only common denominator here is Alex Cora and I know that there's the, I don't know if you want to call a theory or whatever, but the idea that teams essentially reflect their managers, managerial style, and their managers personality. And I think that makes sense because the style and personality that Korra at least presents in the decisions he makes and the way he runs the team is just peer on the hell with it. It's real fire fest. Let's just do it and be legends energy. All the time. Yeah, you know, and a series marked by that exact energy. We had we didn't have a chance to podcast after the game that your team won in extras the day before. But you know, when a crucial moment involves a strange deflection off of hunter Renfro to deny yandy Diaz a run, you know that you're swimming in very strange waters at that point. They got three of the maybe the three best innings of Nick pavetta's life. Yeah. Which I don't like Nick pavetta himself who is just an avatar of chaos on his own. As all ex Phillies prospects must be, but yeah, everything about the Red Sox and the way they do things. There is a there is sense to everything that is done. And this is something our Cora doesn't give me the same vibes as it's funny. I can't even really think of a truly wild manager who just makes gut decisions without even really I don't really think those guys exist anymore. Yeah, they've largely, they've largely faded into the background. I think that there are certainly guys who have a better potential for those kinds of moments than others, but in terms of it being a consistent managerial approach. It does not really comport itself well with modern baseball anymore. No, but I think Cora especially and we've seen in the postseason because we saw it in 2018 too, the way he had to rejigger the bullpen and his starters as relievers and mixing up the lineup and just changing things constantly, I think that that's just one that was his style, I think in the postseason because he recognizes this is the time when pretty much everything needs to be done pedal to the metal, and there's no real room for just oh, we'll wait for tomorrow. But at the same time, the decisions he makes, you can see at the very least the logic and all of them, and for the most part, you agree with pretty much all. And I think there are only a small handful of moments throughout the series where I was like, wait, why is he doing that? That doesn't make any sense. And of course, you know, it's very easy to arm sure and say that doesn't make any sense. But truly, I think Cora is somehow kind of, if not perfected at least gotten really good at finding that balance between chaos and calm logical rational thought where at least feels like all the rash, all the chaotic decisions at least have some element of logic and rationality to them so that you don't feel like this is a guy who's just shooting from the hip at every at every possible angle. It's more that he's he's shooting like he can see what he's shooting at and he's got his aim right, but he does that thing where you turn the gun sideways? And so it looks cooler. It probably makes your aim worse, but it looks way cooler. But the unnecessary gangster movie. Yeah. Of twisting your pistol. Yeah, exactly. Twisting your pistol because that's how people talk about gangster movies. That is exactly how they that's a famous line from Goodfellas where Robert De Niro tells ray Leo to twist his pistol. Yeah. I always his entire life all he's been wanting to do is throw some pistol. Yeah, I mean, like the ones that stood out to me have been sort of at the margins even, right? Where it's like, so why aren't you pinch running for Christian Vasquez sooner with Danny Santana? That seemed like it took longer than it out to have. But in general, it seemed like he was doing fine. I want to ask you two specific questions about this series. And then I do want to briefly indulge in a little bit of rule book talk because it is not effectively wild if Meg does not insist on rule book talk. I am curious when in your experience of the 2021 Red Sox, you realize that you needed to appreciate and understand Gary whitlock. So that came relatively early from because I do remember in spring training that he was already getting talked up as being good, not just in the way that a lot of teams talk about rule 5 players with their desperately trying to convince everyone listening. No, no, no, we're going to keep and we're going to keep them more serious. Right. But like a legitimate like, no, this kid's actually good and is actually going to have a role. And part of that was because the Red Sox bullpen isn't good or wasn't good, briefly was good, got bad again, and now has settled into somewhere around okay, depending on who happens to be in at any given moment. But to me, it became really clear early on that this was not just your average rule 5 guy who was going to show up on your downer up 5 runs and give up a run in the process. This was if nothing else the legitimate velocity working 97.99 with good movement on everything. And just the fact too that and I think you definitely saw it in the playoffs and I love the big celebrations I loved every time Nick pavetta came off the mound. You know, he was just he was marking out like just wild the chest slapping, the jumping. I love that stuff, especially in the playoffs. But I do find it instructive or at least noteworthy that when you watch whitelock pitch and he walks off the mound, he just looks he just looks like he just finished taking his driver's license test. Right, right. It's just the most unaffected, like, okay, fine, that just happened. And it's like, even just beyond the stuff. Like any, you don't even recall the top of my head how old he is, but he's can't be any older than like 23 or 24. I would guess. He's 25. He's a he's a June June 25. So he is 25 years, four months and one day. Happy past four months one day. Whatever. Point is. It is kind of crazy to see a 25 year old kid who's also and it's worth noting too coming off or came off at one point reconstructive elbow surgery and is way past I would imagine any amounts of at least performance, if not innings that he's ever had in his life and he's still just looks like this is just the most simple thing in the world to him. And that's just like, that really stands out, I think, especially because he keeps getting put into situations that are absolutely terrifying. I mean, okay, there is the one core move where and I do think this core thing is more about the trust and relationships he has with the players.

"Where is the random 5 ERA guy? Yeah. Dominating for 5 innings. That's what I want. I want fucking I want it Justin Wilson coming off the mound in like throwing his glove at the opposing dock out. That's basically what Nick pavetta was last night. It would have been like if Justin Wilson threw 5 shutout. Did the moonwalk off the mound every time he went back to the dugout? But anyway, yeah, everyone's just looking at this series being like, oh yeah, let's just get like a I was listening to WFA 'cause I'm a sicko and they're like, yeah, why don't we just get like Billy bean or something? And it doesn't work like that. No one, the a's are not going to give up the guy who has been keeping them afloat because of their financial restrictions for the last two and a half decades dude. That's been a world where the rays entire for an office is just like, I think we want to go work for the Yankees now. Why? Why would that ever happen? Look, it's a logical it's somewhat of a logical thing to think because you have Andrew Freeman who left the raise and then was like, yeah, I'm just gonna go to the Dodgers who put analytics first, but then also give me like 200 million more dollars to spend. So I'm going to have a field day..
Red Sox Beat
"nick pavetta" Discussed on Red Sox Beat
"Game. And he did come in, didn't he? He did come in. Yes, thank you. And Nick pavetta even picked in relief. So any picture of the 9th inning. So there are a lot of options that I think Alex Cora has in the arsenal. It'll just be very, very interesting to see how he uses them in a one game playoff. Yeah, again, it's just, you know, with locks their best picture. I think we both agree on that. But yes, you can't unless you throw him 8 9 or 7 8 9. He's not really your closer. And that's where I get scared is, you know, Matt Barnes has not had a strong second half. Auto vino at times is effective, but he's been too inconsistent for me. I know robust has been really good for the last few weeks. But he feels like a guy who's about to implode. I mean, he's pitching so far above where he usually is. And you've got to go with the waiting for it. I think you do ultimately have to go with the hot hand and you have to go with robles, but I just, I want to minimize that group. The less of that group I see, the better I'm going to feel, I want whitlock and for the wild card game and then as far as they go, I want to see whitlock and how carry this thing. Those two guys are the guys I trust more than anybody else. Last night, I'm going to leave you with this for now. In the last 19 games beginning September 8th, the Red Sox have posted a three 31 ERA in that time. They rank second in the American League and 7th in the major leagues in ERA. Sox starters, a 3.74 ERA very respectable, the relievers Alex, 2.79 ERA. I guess the long and the short of it right there is just to say that the bullpen has been getting it done and they've been getting solid starting pitching. Maybe that's not where we should be concerned. Where we should probably be more concerned is is the lineup going to show up. Is are we going to get more than Raphael Devers in the one game playoff? Because if when you're the New York Yankees, who's the one guy right now, you're not going to let beat you. Rafael Devers, right? Right. Are we on the same page there? Yeah, yeah, no. There's no way. Yeah. I mean, he's the guy that I fear the most. And that's why when I saw that split finger change up from I forget who it was the Washington reliever. I'm like, he's going to obliterate this pitch. Next pitch, boom. He hits at 420 feet to center field for the go ahead what proved to be a playoff clinching home run for Raphael divers. So I don't think the Yankees are going to let Raphael ever beat him. The X factors and we've talked about him in the last couple of weeks, hunter renfrow. He is somebody who I think could come up big for the Red Sox. You know, you talked about it and he's not exactly a bottom of the roster guy, but I don't know that he's exactly a household name either. But you talk about that guy who's going to step up and be the hero and it's been time and time again..

"So you have that on Friday night with your best picture who leads the who led the AL and FIP by the way coming into this one. You'll let that happen. Cy Young candidate. Sorry young candidate. And then you spoil a Nick pavetta Jim. He goes 5 and a third gives up one on 90 pitches. He had no business doing that, but if any team's gonna let him do that, but it's the New York Yankees. He did it. Yeah, he did it. Then Tanner, how can Darwin's in Hernandez? Whatever happened there happened there. And then on Sunday Night, again, tailor made. Eduardo Rodriguez, who's owned the Yankees this year, I still don't understand why it goes 5 innings allows to strikes out 8. Two or three of which should not have been strikeouts, but he got him. Struck out 8 batteries. You got the start you needed from a guy who has no business. He's a 5 ERA coming into this one four 9 70 RA coming into this one. Has no business pitching like this against the Yankees? Does it again anyway for the fourth time this year? Because one of his other outings was only an inning long. So you get exactly what you need. You'll let Jordan Montgomery battle you down down as hard as he possibly can in the Yankees have a fairly well rested bullpen. So like, you had the chances to get after Montgomery. He was giving up hard contact in the fourth and the 5th. And then Garrett Richards, is that the guy who's coming in, you know? I just don't know. I haven't watched enough Red Sox this year, but again, this is what I allude to about everything else. Just take advantage of the bullpen. This is not a good bullpen. I understand Alex core has pressed a lot of buttons and it's put guys in the right situations, but overall the talent's not there. The roles are largely not there. We saw hansel robles in the series, Garrett Richards, adamant of vino, Ryan brazier, Darwin's international Tanner hauck, like Matt Barnes, Martin Perez, Ryan brazier was good. Yeah, Ryan brazier was good, but at that point, it didn't matter. He recalls we saw a Mora like a lot of I don't know. I can't be all really critical because I don't watch enough of the Red Sox, but that seems like questionable use to me. Sal Moore is a pretty good arm. Matt Barnes is certainly better than these other guys. Why do they come in in the first inning? We saw him for one more came in for two and a third, and that was it in the first game. And then Matt Barnes comes in for one and then you have a three two lead on Sunday in order to salvage this entire thing and then you go to Garrett Richards and Adam out of vino. I just don't, I mean, arvin's ERA went over a four after that. But Garret Richards, I know he's been better in the bullpen, but he's still not that good of a pitcher. And Adam Avino against his former team, I know like you can only test your luck trying to play trying to mine fuck your opponent. I think Alex gore should know that at this point, he won the first mind fuck, then he goes for the second one trying to bring out a vino out there to punk the Yankees again. You know that's not gonna happen again. He already did it how many times did he do it earlier and they're using like two or three September out of vino is just a different guy..

"nick pavetta" Discussed on Red Sox Beat
"You have to pass certain milestones before you are permitted back on the roster. Correct? Yeah, and it's different for vaccinated and unvaccinated players. So Nick pavetta came back for Sunday start, and he hadn't been out for the full ten days, but he had been vaccinated. So if you're unvaccinated, if you are vaccinated, you are a non symptomatic, you can come back earlier. Chris sale, they haven't said anything, but typically when they don't say anything that means they're unvaccinated. So he will have to wait at least the full ten days and then he'll still have to go through testing and symptom testing and all that. So I can't really speak too much to the concussion protocols to be honest. But it is sort of a convoluted situation. Well, I mean, I guess the reason I bring that up is, you know, when you're dealing with an actual old fashioned injury, there are things you can do to maybe get yourself through that injury, maybe shorten the amount of time that you are in rehab and get back sooner, right? I mean, a lot of players have done that in the past. And that's no shock. But with this, there are certainly there's the seriousness of the virus itself. There's the pandemic. And there's really the concern, I think, in a city like Boston and in an organization like the Red Sox that has hit been hit particularly hard by COVID-19. They don't want to mess around and they don't want to take any shortcuts. That's I guess the point I was making. No, yeah. I mean, it makes sense. And it's not, I mean, a normal injury, it's really between the training staff, the player and the team on when they're coming back and when you have something like COVID-19 there are federal regulations there, obviously rules that you have to pass. So yeah, I mean, that's definitely a different situation. Speaking with Matt Collins, the editor of over the monster dot com, brought to you by SB nation. It's that time of year again and all eyes are now turning to.

"nick pavetta" Discussed on The Points League
"But I think this is a power move by Kaiser, you know, slinging his dog around to 6 extra 6 inch extra inches of dawn to assert some dominance here. I like it 85 bucks is a shit ton. That's going to move the market a bit more than I thought. For reals is still, you know, he's always been cheap. I assume he's still cheap. He's probably what, 16 bucks or something like that from a keeper perspective. So there's a little bit of that thrown in, which probably warrants a bit of a higher price. I think this dovetails into what Tom's at a crossroads this week in particular, I think we all kind of see that. I personally, you know, I've been an advocate for Tom to keep fighting. I think when you have arguably the best player or a top three player on the injured list, who's going to come up, going to back after the all star break, you know, you can really be a shot in the arm. And you got Castillo, who's actually been pitching well over the last month, month and a half. I like Tom's team, I like it a lot more now. 85 bucks is a lot, but I like, you know, barrios for sure. You know, Brian is definitely having to come back here that a lot of people thought he would. I was trying to bid on him a little bit low at the draft myself. So I like that move. Pretty good move. Yeah. We're pretty good move. I was just going to chime in. Yeah, I think it's an interesting move. With burritos, he's getting a start tonight. For Tom, I think he's in, I mean, both feet and Johnny are pretty much in must win situations from here on out. They really need to go something like 8 and three. Really at least 8 and three. I think to get the four seed. And they're going against each other this week, as you mentioned. So it's really do or die. I think this is a move that Tom could make and if he gets in the trouble and you can also kind of apply this to the move that Johnny made this weekend for Nick pavetta and kenta maeda is that if we get a couple weeks down the road and it doesn't work out, they can resell these guys. Sure. You got to keep mine in the second round of match ups weeks 12 and weeks 11. Tom has already beaten and Acuna sauce wagon. So he's beaten ten big wins. What's that? Those are big wins. Those are big wins, so he has, you know, gower coming up. He has Vijay coming up. He's got Matt coming up. I believe. So, you know, if he takes care of business this week, 8 and three, like you said, it's doable.
