00:00Buy or sell, Ellie will lead the league.

00:03Is this the NL, Sam, or the major leagues?

00:07Major leagues and stolen bases this year.

00:09Buy or sell.

00:10He's sixth?

00:11Wow, I didn't even know that.

00:13O'Neal.

00:13He's tied.

00:15Tied for sixth with Jose Ramirez.

00:18Whit, Robert, PCA, Caballero.

00:21Robert again for you.

00:22Geez.

00:23Boy, there's a name I wouldn't have thought there.

00:24Caballero's got 25.

00:26Okay.

00:27He could win.

00:28Man, if Simpson was still on the team here.

00:32But, you know, O'Neal Cruz is actually in first place.

00:34He's got 30.

00:34So, O'Neal Cruz, not 30, 25.

00:38O'Neal Cruz is five more ahead of him.

00:40I mean, I think I would take the field here, right?

00:42As Gaines was, I would take the field.

00:44I think he's just not stealing as much this year.

00:46For whatever reason, he's not stealing as much.

00:48I think he can if he wants to.

00:50Doesn't seem to want to run as much this year.

00:51Like I said, for whatever reason, maybe Cincinnati.

00:53Maybe Frank Cohn doesn't believe in running, giving up that out.

00:56You know, we don't want to do that.

00:58Great record, small, probably want to swing for the fences here.

01:00That sort of thing here.

01:01So, I'll take the field here only because, like I said, he's in sixth.

01:04Tied for sixth.

01:05Five more behind Cruz, who could easily lead it himself.

01:08Or maybe it's Caballero.

01:09I don't think it'll be PCA.

01:11And I don't think it'll be Witt either.

01:12So, maybe it's Caballero or Cruz.

01:14Lord knows Pittsburgh needs to do something.

01:16So, Cruz must have to run.

01:17Yeah, I am going to buy this.

01:20I think Eli's going to get hot here.

01:21I really do believe in the player.

01:23He led the majors in steals last year.

01:27What would be the number with my buy here?

01:30I'm going to say Eli wins with 64 steals this season.

01:35I'll say he'll be the second half leader.

01:37I'm going to buy this.

01:38I just think it's been a tough first half for him.

01:40He'll have a big second half and he'll get there.

01:42And, by the way, Caballero, I think, is the guy that he's going to have to fight out.

01:46This guy is a really good player for Tampa Bay.

01:50Okay, the Colorado Rockies finally got their walk off.

01:54They swept the Marlins.

01:55I cannot believe that happened in front of my own eyes.

01:57That was horrible.

01:59And then they got another win against the Giants.

02:00That's it.

02:01So, four wins again in the last two weeks.

02:03Is this 14 wins, Sam, on the season?

02:05Am I right about that with the Rockies?

02:08Is that correct?

02:0813.

02:0914?

02:1013.

02:1013?

02:11No.

02:1114, right.

02:13I got 13.

02:14The Rockies will win.

02:1641.

02:18Still got 13.

02:19They still have 13?

02:21Really?

02:23Oh, they had 12.

02:24They had nine.

02:25They beat the Marlins three and then that walk off.

02:27Okay, 13.

02:28The Rockies will win 41 games or more this season.

02:33I mean, is it buy or sell?

02:37Oh, I mean, that means they got to win 28 more games.

02:42So, you got to go 28 and 65?

02:4628 and 65, they're 13 and 56 right now.

02:49They're probably, theoretically, they're going to get worse, right?

02:52Because they should be trading whatever they can at the deadline.

02:54Maybe Ryan McMahon actually goes this year.

02:56Uh, I'm going to, uh, no.

02:59I can't.

03:00No.

03:01I mean, I'm glad this is just sad.

03:03I'm selling this.

03:03I don't think they'll get there.

03:05I just, I'm not sure they get the 30.

03:07You know, more or less 41.

03:08Maybe they get the low 30s here.

03:10But no, this is a definite sell.

03:11I think they set the record here.

03:12This is a terrible team.

03:13They're just, they're just awful here.

03:15So, uh, I'm going to say no.

03:16No.

03:17No.

03:17So, yeah, the major issue here for me with this, I want to say bye, but the major issue

03:24is that the Dodgers and the Padres and the Diamondbacks, it's not them being good.

03:29It's their, and the Giants, they're all still going to be in it.

03:33There's no gimme games for them at the end of the season.

03:36So, look, let's be clear, okay?

03:38Let's say, hypothetically, in the first 81 games, they win 17, let's say, 17 games.

03:46That's four more in the next two weeks.

03:49And that seems like a stretch.

03:50But if they do that, I just don't see a good second half for them, too.

03:54I'm going to sell.

03:56I'm going to sell this, too.

03:57I think it's going to be very close.

03:58It's a fair question from Sam.

04:00But I do think the number is going to be 38, 39, somewhere along those lines.

04:06Their only hope to hit the number that Sam just gave us is the last week of the season,

04:11meaningless games for somebody else.

04:12That's it.

04:13That's it.

04:13And still meaningful for them to just not have the worst record of all time.

04:17But I still think they're going to get it.
