00:00A phenomenal player, he's a Hall of Fame caliber type player.

00:06Is it possible that the power is just getting lower, diminishing as he's getting older?

00:12I don't know the answer.

00:13I guess we'll find out.

00:14Probably not this year, George, but next year.

00:16Yeah, I think that's all fair, although we are getting towards summer now.

00:21I know he played in San Diego, which is summer pretty much all year long, but theoretically

00:24when he's on the road, the ball should travel further.

00:26Now this is really throughout baseball.

00:28You wonder if we'll see an uptick in home runs now, and I know the running joke is when

00:32will Manfred insert the home run balls back into baseball here, so we'll see if that takes

00:38effect too, which wouldn't shock me at all, by the way.

00:41Home runs are down, averages down, everything's down, so that's certainly not good for baseball.

00:45We know everything Manfred wants to do to get the average up there.

00:48Hell, there are no errors anymore in baseball, right?

00:51That's a complete...

00:52I'll go on a rant for the rest of the show talking about that, so that's been awful.

00:56Machado, he was probably a third-round pick in your fantasy league.

01:01He hasn't been terrible.

01:02He really hasn't, but he's not returning the value you want, but what are you gonna do?

01:06You gonna try and move him?

01:07Odds are, if I try and move him, odds are, Craig, you want Machado?

01:11You know Machado's not playing well either.

01:12What am I gonna get for him, 75 cents on the dollar?

01:15So I don't know if I'd be willing to do that either.

01:17I think I'm probably holding onto Machado and hoping he becomes the real Emmanuel Machado

01:21over the last two-thirds of the season.
