00:00You got JP Sears and Clark Schmidt on the mound today. And then Luis Severino has been a gas

00:03can against TBD, which we believe to be Marcus Stroman. I feel like George Aaron Boone would

00:09rather tear his ACL again, playing basketball as he did years ago before A-Rod took his job,

00:15than have to watch Marcus Stroman make another start for the Yankees. Discuss.

00:21This is not, I love people who say Boone. Boone makes no decisions, boys and girls. This is

00:26Cashman not wanting to admit it was another bad signing. I'm not saying he's deciding. I'm saying

00:30he would rather have a Northern Torn ACL than have to watch it. I'm not saying it's his decision.

00:36I'm just talking about the watch. He has no choice. It's Stroman, we're going to put in Allen Winans.

00:42He didn't look all that great against the Reds on Monday, although I would rather see him.

00:46We know what Stroman is. He's a softball thrower at this point. It was a bad sign when it happened.

00:52We all knew it was going to be a bad sign. The only good news is that he won't reach the 150 innings

00:55limit to pick up his option for next year, so he'll be gone eventually. We're all waiting for

01:00Louis Heal to come back and get that spot, which should be after the All-Star break there.

01:04So it is what it is tomorrow. Take the over. Right there. There you go. JPCers versus Clark

01:09Schmidt today. Schmidt coming off the seven-inning no-hitter that they pulled him from on Sunday.

01:14He's been very good for the Yankees. Schmidt and Warren really have some way saved the Yankee season.

01:19Twins and Tigers this weekend. Bailey Ober versus Casey Mize and Chris Paddock against Tariq Skubel.

01:23Guess what, boys and girls? This is the end of the Twinkies. The Twinkies should be sellers after

01:28this series because they're going to get their rear-ended to a rear-end handed to them. Bailey

01:32Ober just for S's and G's here. Last seven games as an ERA of 639. That's how bad it's been for

01:40Bailey Ober. And Chris Paddock just got absolutely destroyed his last outing. Look, to me, this is

01:45very heavy looking at the Tiger side of this weekend. George, what do you think?

01:49Nothing much to add there. I agree. That's the ESPN game tomorrow night, by the way. Detroit,

01:56Minnesota. Probably didn't see that coming here. But they get Tariq Skubel, so we get to watch

02:01him here. But I agree. The Twins did win last night for whatever it's worth here. But I don't see this

02:07being a good weekend for them. Start off a bad weekend for the Mets here. You don't want to lose

02:12to the Pirates. Is it a Pirates, Mets? Is that what we're doing here? Come on, man. It's one thing

02:18when the Braves take it to you. It's another thing when you lose to the Pirates. You got Paul Blackburn

02:22on the mound, Frankie Montas. I think the big fantasy question here, George, on everybody's mind

02:27is, can Frankie Montas do it again? I was stunned in disbelief at what my eye saw against the Atlanta

02:34Braves from Frankie Montas earlier this week. Do you think you can repeat it against the Pirates? And if

02:38he does, what does that mean to his free agent budget here this weekend as teams are looking to

02:44add some starting pitching help? I have to imagine another scoreless five innings from Frankie Montas

02:49against the Pirates will go a long way to make people really interested in him being picked up on

02:53the waiver wire. What do you think? I think you're reading it right, right? Once again, I agree with

02:58everything you said there. Shocked he pitched so well against the Braves, and he might do it again

03:02against the Pirates. They can't hit. All right. It'll be a buyer beware. But you're right. His price is

03:07going to go up tomorrow night, fab, because he gets two good starts here. We all need starters.

03:12And you might start thinking, well, you know, the Mets will score some runs, so maybe get some wins

03:16out of it even when he doesn't pitch poorly or when he does pitch poorly, sort of that sort of thing

03:19here. So yeah, the price is probably going to go because he's going to pitch well tomorrow.

03:23Pepe over this first disappointing start in a while here for the Rays that just happened yesterday

03:28after really being fantastic in the last six or seven starts. But everybody has a bad day at the

03:33office. It's a really good day for the Orioles offense. They're going to play

03:37host once again to the Tampa Bay Rays, Zach Littell and Zach Eflin. The Battle of the Zacks.

03:43One spells it with a K, the other with an H. You let me know which one is the right way

03:48to spell it. Taj Bradley and Dean Kramer in the next one. I would expect some runs here

03:52over the weekend. And also, I want to point out, too, Logan Henderson in 18 at-bats in his

03:59career against Zach Littell, hitting .389 with a .1228 OPS. Colton Couser in 11 at-bats

04:06against Littell, .364 batting average with a .1455 OPS. I think you're going to see a lot more runs

04:11out of the Orioles today. And maybe, just maybe, George, we can start to get Gunnar Henderson

04:15back on track. What do you think? God, they scored .22 yesterday. Eflin, by the way,

04:21looking at the pitching, I'd probably be on the market at the deadline. Eflin is in. He has not

04:24pitched well for Baltimore this year. He had the pitching so well last year. Also, the former

04:28Tampa Bay Rays here. I kind of agree with you. I expect a run to be put up on the board today.

04:32I'll have the over in this game later on. Bradley and Kramer tomorrow. Bradley's been a little

04:37inconsistent. So is Kramer, really, when you think about it here. Probably don't feel as confident

04:41about runs being scored tomorrow. Today should be an over.
