00:00and we're going to start with Aaron Judge leading the majors in home runs this year's will he do it

00:06George that is the question currently uh Aaron Judge has 28 home runs Shohei Otani has 29 and

00:14Cal Raleigh my dude the guy catching at 32 so I'm going to ask you when all is said and done when

00:22the dust is cleared will Aaron Judge be at the top of the home run board in MLB what say you

00:30probably I mean uh you look at Cal Raleigh who's got the full home run lead over Judge here

00:35uh he's we've already talked about during the show he's having a fantastic season probably is

00:39the MVP right now uh mainly because of the catcher position he uh he plays there and by the way he's

00:44a good catcher he's not like oh my god someone just bought where's the equipment he's actually a good

00:48defensive catcher there uh but you're squatting a million times there's something about whether

00:53it gets hot here you're going to get hit with foul balls bats uh as gray barb he hasn't had that slump

00:58yet Judge's in the middle of a slump now actually uh so I'll say Judge will catch him here uh I

01:03wouldn't bet on this mind you you know it's a full home run lead it's nice here I do I don't think

01:08Cal Raleigh is hitting 55-58 which is probably what it's going to take here Judge probably is going

01:12to hit 55-58 somewhere around there is his number there so I'll say I'm gonna buy this and Aaron Judge

01:18will lead the major leagues and home runs this year listen I'm not breaking news I probably would take

01:22that every year and when she plays this next couple until uh he's getting up there in age until uh

01:28his bat does start to slow down I was gonna say this is the time to bet it George because

01:33uh it was probably minus money a month ago now all of a sudden it's a tighter race he's on pace by the

01:38way for uh 56 home runs uh Cal Raleigh's pace is actually 64. I don't think we're getting 64.

01:45uh but I'm going to unfortunately I'm gonna buy this one too I do think uh George makes a lot of

01:52good points there the dog days of August are coming in catchers it gets hot you wear down a little bit

01:58probably the case now show you what Tani again now that he's pitching I know he's had a couple

02:02whole runs in recent days but he did slow down a little bit I just don't know if the pitching

02:06somehow takes a little bit more of physical toll on him down the season so the two guys he's really

02:11competing against both have a deficit where they're trying to do something kind of superhuman one is

02:16catch a major league season the other is pitch and dh an entire season Aaron judge has to just be

02:22Aaron judge so at the end of the day I'm gonna buy this as well all right let's get to the next

02:25question we've got here Ellie de la Cruz snubbed at least for now uh from the all-star game was

02:32Ellie de la Cruz the biggest all-star snub this year I know it's early still other guys will get

02:38named but George do you think Ellie's the guy right now saying hey what the hell's going on

02:43I'm the guy that deserves to be in the all-star game what do you think is he the biggest snub

02:48uh if we had a third category called I don't care that would be this movie who cares

02:59are you getting paid by the word today by the way yeah it's my turn it's my turn okay my turn

03:06all right uh who cares about the all-star game I mean really who cares all right this is not uh

03:11saying is he the biggest all-star starter stuff we haven't even announced the uh all the all-stars

03:15he's gonna if he's gonna be a reserve right so he's not the start here by the way who's starting

03:20at shortstop me so we don't even know all right so he's such a snub that we don't even know who the uh

03:27who's the nationally starter at shortstop I assume it's Lindor uh Lindor is I believe the

03:32guy who was the highest because I think they were talking about him being uh and I kept asking well

03:37how do you feel when you keep getting snubbed so I wonder he's not the guy either

03:40Sam you're on this shortstop is Lindor and Mookie Betts it's Lindor right now and Lindor

03:45he's not the biggest snub
