00:00
Brewers and the Phillies.
00:02
Jesus Lozardo, one of the best pitchers in baseball this season,
00:05
leads in war in baseball for starting pitchers.
00:08
He faces Chad Patrick, also a pretty good pitcher, by the way, for the Brewers.
00:12
Jose Quintana on Sunday against Ranger Suarez.
00:16
I think four pretty decent matchup pitchers this week.
00:20
Yeah, Lozardo's been great.
00:22
He's been absolutely great.
00:23
We were talking earlier on the show trying to figure out where Mackenzie Gore
00:26
would go in the Cy Young rankings of the National League.
00:29
And I would have Lozardo ahead of him.
00:31
He's been – I mean, Lozardo's been really good.
00:33
Nice move that's paying off.
00:35
The Cubs tried to get him too.
00:37
But he ended up going to Philadelphia here.
00:39
Quintana will return from the IL tomorrow to pitch for Milwaukee here.
00:43
I do not like starting pitchers when they first come off the IL.
00:47
He hasn't been out a hell of a long time.
00:49
You know, he's been out over a month.
00:50
I'm definitely not doing it.
00:51
But, you know, he's been out a couple of weeks here.
00:52
But also pitching in Philadelphia.
00:55
I'll probably stay away from Quintana, though.
00:56
So, I'm surprised this guy didn't have a job most of all.
00:59
See, it took him a while before somebody signed him.
01:02
Once again, I know he's got to be a pitcher.
01:04
He's not a thrower anymore.
01:05
But he's been really good here.
01:06
Ranger Suarez has been, you know, solid for Philadelphia.
01:09
No issues with him.
01:11
Angels and Guardians also face off this weekend.
01:13
Now we're going to get to the fun part of the show where we try and figure out
01:17
who the starters are in some of these games.
01:19
So, for today, the Angels will start Kyle Hendricks.
01:22
His ERA is above five for the year.
01:24
Slade Ciccone starts today for the Cleveland Guardians.
01:28
He's pitched about a dozen innings this season.
01:31
And then on Sunday, we get some other random names here.
01:33
Jack Kachatowicz against Gavin Williams here.
01:39
I mean, the A's had a lot of fun here for a couple weeks, George.
01:41
You know, they're hitting the ball, starting to win some games.
01:43
And, of course, things sort of split a little bit.
01:46
I mean, look, the Angels definitely can hit the ball.
01:48
I mean, O'Hoppy can hit and Ward can hit.
01:51
Pitching is still going to be an issue for them.
01:53
You've got Mike Trout's back, right?
01:55
Zach Nito can hit as well.
01:57
But, you know, you're right.
01:57
The pitching is not good.
02:00
Kachatowicz is blah.
02:02
And Kyle Hendricks probably shouldn't be on a major league roster at this point.
02:06
Just not as a starter.
02:07
Maybe he's a long guy.
02:08
Guy's going to eat up some innings here.
02:09
Gavin Williams is the guy.
02:10
He teases me every year, right?
02:12
I always want to believe it.
02:13
Cleveland's one of the better pitcher ballparks here.
02:15
So, you think he'd be good there in Cleveland?
02:17
He's a developed pitching out of nowhere.
02:19
But he just can't seem to put it together.
02:21
No consistency here.
02:22
That being said, it's the Angels.
02:24
I'm probably in Cleveland.
02:25
I'm probably still willing to give it a shot here.
02:27
But I'm that guy who has a tough time.
02:29
For whatever reason, I just can't give up on Gavin Williams.
02:31
Now, you're going to talk about him.
02:35
I'll take him very soon.
02:36
Go, guys.
02:36
Go.
02:37
Go, guys.
