00:00
can you really say that this year i'm not sure their pitching has been great timely hitting again
00:05
they're playing in this you know spring training ballpark and having success they played a lot of
00:09
home games maybe i guess that's the way you got to look at it five innings pitched on tuesday that's
00:13
my ace of the week drew rasmussen man has he been good for tampa bay he's going to start again i
00:17
believe tomorrow for the rays eight strikeouts but look at that number no walks no earned runs
00:25
and i know who he is george okay rasmussen ain't pitching eight innings i get it but i wanted to
00:31
do this and kind of ask you if you felt any threat from tampa bay another team on the rise again
00:37
all right uh as a yankee fan sure all right because it's the rays they always manage to do this right
00:45
but you you brought a key thing there when that roller schedule hits how is that going to affect
00:50
that team they're going to play a truckload of uh road games real soon right to avoid the uh the
00:56
wet the wet weather that can happen there in tampa uh each and every day here so we'll see how they uh
01:01
how they handle that but uh rasmussen i gotta tell you craig i've uh in my home league i've claimed this
01:08
guy three separate times this year and i've released him three separate times and of course now the last
01:13
what 10 days he's just gone off it's just it's infuriating because i like the guy but he wasn't quite
01:18
there and now he's pitching well again it's like and i know he'll be if he'll be released by someone
01:22
i'll claim him again in more three weeks he'll be terrible again uh annoying here but uh their
01:26
pitching keeps him in the games right pepio rasmussen uh shane vas bradley's pitch better here so that
01:32
our pitching keeps him in the game here cabin arrow all of a sudden he looks like that guy right he's
01:37
tearing it up the aranda's hitting well here they're another team right with all these hitters they get
01:43
just enough right there's always two or three guys that are hitting now maybe brandon lowe's having a
01:48
fantastic you usually have to brandon lowe right now you're feeling pretty damn happy
01:51
especially at second base which is like a quagmire this year so uh they always do just enough here
01:56
my guy was frame of valdez uh uh i had a choice in valdez i thought about carlos rodon too but i
02:03
didn't want to seem like a homer with the yankees so i took valdez he was pitched very well for the
02:06
houston nationals he is their ace uh there was some wonder at one point by the way that if houston fell
02:11
out of it this year could he be moved right they moved on from bregman moved on from uh kyle tucker could
02:17
move on from valdez and unlike with breaker maybe not want to lose uh get some value before you lose
02:22
the player here uh the val valdez seven innings pitch 11 strikeouts look guys look great together
02:27
they have a complete game shutout last week or maybe it's the complete game but he uh once again
02:31
he's pitching very well for the houston astros leading that charge and they're another team
02:35
they don't go away either
02:36
we got sam's uh choice here for the ace of the week it is a national again this time
02:45
mackenzie gore again seven innings pitch no one runs seven strikeouts and one walk he was like a
02:53
sneaky pick to win the national league cy young georgia i mean i probably don't think he's gonna win it
03:00
but you know what he is he's probably more of a sneaky pick next season that would be my guess
03:07
it's like he's gonna finish george what would you say this year fourth fifth maybe something along those
03:12
lines kind of like burns did and then ends up winning it the next year i mean you just have to
03:17
be glad he's not in the american league because i don't think we're gonna see another cy young outside
03:20
of school bowl for years oh you may be right uh i'd like to make fun of uh sam here wasn't he
03:28
what were you trying to say that gore was a top five uh candidate for the cy young it seems like
03:32
now now there's a lot of pictures and then this this week he puts him in for his uh fantasy ace of
03:36
the week here you know uh just can't trust them just can't trust them uh gore's been great uh he
03:42
might be one of the few players i came from the dodges right one of the trades there the ruiz trade
03:48
uh padres uh so he came from a part of a soto deal yeah got gore you got wood uh you may
03:57
rather have gore and wood than soto long term especially with the contract you got there
04:01
yeah i think you would right you got an ace you got wood looks fantastic here the future is sort
04:06
of bright with washington especially to go spend some money here gore's great he'll be a future
04:10
yankee in a couple years
