By the way, how many home runs does Peter Alonzo have?

0:05.4

How many RBIs?

0:06.3

I believe he is at 19 home runs and 60 RBIs or 18 and 59.

0:13.0

You nailed it, 19 and 60.

0:14.4

I actually do a, not daily, but I do check up on him a lot.

0:17.1

How about Kyle Tucker?

0:19.2

I don't know the numbers, but I know he has not played well.

0:21.5

That I know. How about if I told you, Kyle Tucker has seven home runs and 45 Harvey-R-B-

0:27.1

That's correct. Okay, good. So the Mets were willing to give him $55 million a year, but they

1:29.1

I guess, you know, I would actually, if you look at analytics

1:33.0

and you look at injury history, which you should be doing
