Join as always on Sundays by Jeff Erickson. I'm playing at about about 70% under the weather right now, so we have to hang with me if I happen to cough a couple times. I apologize for that. But we're going to power through this. Jeff, how are you on this Sunday night? It's June. It's it's baseball summer.

0:37.3

Yeah, it is. A busy day.? It's June. It's baseball summer.

0:51.0

Yeah, it is. Busy day. And, you know, it's watching a lot of baseball, both pro and college. It was a good day. I was, you know, stayed home and got a lot of work done and watched a lot of baseball. It was good. That is a good day right there. We were talking a little before, but this time of year for college baseball is really fun. The regionals and super regionals. I think I like the super regionals the most because you still get that like college home game atmosphere. But Omaha's great too, but I love the super regionals. Yeah, I like this weekend. I think yesterday is like one of the best days. It's like, you know, you know, there's some pressure for some people to, you know, just for, I should say for some teams just to stay alive. Others, you know, you get that second win. You've got like an 80% chance of getting the Super 8. Yeah, double elimination. If you lose any time in this particular games, it's so hard to get back. Yep, exactly. But we had a lot happen right for the deadline. Let's just jump into that real quick. We might as well. It was a lot of news. Detroit Tigers sent sending Spencer Torkelson down to AAA. I'm not surprised based on how his season is gone. I was a little surprised based on the fact that his season last year wasn't that much different. He was pretty bad. The first goal months, and he caught fire. So I kind of thought maybe they'd hold on a little bit to see, you know, maybe he's a second half guy. Maybe he'll pick it up. But maybe the thought is, you know, get him, get him down and get him worked out in AAA. But I was a little bit surprised that he got, he got sent down today. I am too. Um, you know, I am a little bit because It's not like they sent they didn't send down keith did

2:19.2

they i don't think they did no he's been really good in may yeah he's picked it back up they

2:23.7

they were patient with him but i guess you know two months is enough of an amount of time that

2:29.0

kind of like yeah it's you got to do something there and i get it i get why they do it because they

2:35.7

there's still a chance of remain in touch in the wild card if you're detroit um but it's getting

2:41.2

late you know the fact that you or shell has started today should have been our sign little hint

2:45.7

that they were going to do this yeah um yeah he i think he sat two of the last three games too yeah and what what are you doing if he's not going to play, right? And so I get it, but man, it's, it's pretty wild to see. But I mean, at the same time, Torkelson's given really no reason to kind of think that he's turning it around. In fact, he's striking out even more. Yesterday, O for four, two Ks on Thursdays on Thursday 0 for 4 3Ks it's just what else are you going to do at this point in time yeah he's been a mess uh bart perry in the chat noted uh somewhere he read that they're gonna have specific swing mechanics that torque is working on triple a maybe this is a maybe it's a business trip where they actually have to sing some things they want to work with them on but But it was a, it's a good point on Colt Keith because they were really patient when he had a 12 WRC plus in April and then 151 in May. So they were patient with him. But I guess you're right. Two months is different than one. Fantasy-wise, Spencer Torgerson was obviously rostered just about everywhere. Drop for sure in 12s, maybe in 15s.

3:42.2

How did you, how do you kind of think about that?

3:44.2

Yeah, well, I scrambled as soon as I heard the news, do I have torque anywhere there?

3:48.8

And like in an NPC platform or other managed platforms?

3:52.4

The answer is no.

3:53.4

I have them like in a score sheet league where there is no action.
