00:00all right now let's go on the flip side his teammate who was the hot thing in april right

00:06fair to say tyler solderstrom even into may a little bit leading the league at home runs

00:10well you know things have kind of gone the other way here george a little bit

00:14it seems like the a's players by the way have been very streaky like the hots and the colds

00:21like butler hot one day rooker hot another day then they go cold now kurtz is hot

00:26maybe this is kind of the reason why they lost so many games in a row where they lost like

00:31you know 15 out of 16 whatever it was uh but you know i guess we should have seen this coming

00:36maybe there was really no track record to show that solderstrom was gonna you know bat 350 and

00:42hit 30 home runs yeah i think that's fair all right i'm not worried about solderstrom all that

00:48much here i mean i haven't checked their schedule next week but if they were on the road okay maybe

00:52i'm gonna sit him for a week and put someone else in there assuming i have a decent replacement

00:56there we'll see what happens there now that he's not playing all that well but if they're at home

00:59next week i can't sit any any a i might have on my roster he starts it's really that simple for me

01:04if they're playing you know four to six games at uh in sacramento said where it's gonna heat up

01:09where it's gonna fly out there i'll trust he'll figure it out say a suzuki of the chicago cubs just

01:15like many of the cubs has had a great offensive season tough week for him but really much ado about

01:20nothing george you got to keep this guy in the lineup agreed i mean you just said it right it's

01:25a bad week not about not not a big deal yet if we're talking next week another week from now and

01:29he's still not hitting okay i'll see it but he's gonna be in my life he's been fantastic a little

01:34underrated player has been absolutely fantastic finally let's get to o'neill cruz of the pittsburgh

01:40pirates uh pirates offense has struggled for a lot of the season i guess the saving grace for

01:46cruz is he does have 13 home runs on the year george but man i mean pirates could not have

01:53expected a 213 batting average this year yikes disappointing right for a player that we expect to

01:59be one of the uh more exciting in major league baseball uh his defense is centerfield actually

02:03the entire team's defense is terrific there but uh he made a couple plays last night that were like

02:07oh my god what were you thinking
