Letting off starts right now. Welcome in everybody. I am Chris Welsh. That is K C Baba. We are in the house and Baba. I am a little under the weather. Just a little tab. I don't know if you can hear it. Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it?

0:29.0

I think you look beautiful, also pretty, also pretty, and you sound great. We need the TR today, I think. I think we need to bring it back just to make it happen. No. We have one full show. I don't know if you heard the news. I was delivered a pack of tiaras.

0:42.0

I have a whole new set. So what we're doing is we are generating game used tiaras that will some I might auction on off at some point. Maybe I'll cut one up and put it in like a custom card. We will be auctioning off some game used tiaras. But yes, I think what happened is there's a convergence of things.

1:01.0

What you can't have is me be so intensely wrong on two things in one day. You can't have me pick on O'Neill Cruz. Pick on O'Neill Cruz. Him at a Homer. And then also pick on Buckston to hit a Homer. And then him get hurt. That physically cannot happen. So it happened. And I have broken down a little bit. But I think I've done it right now. I've been up for a little bit trying to work through this. But I got Baba here. I got the peanuts and cracker jacks. So Dr. Glenn, keep that in mind.

1:29.0

When you put together my stat line for how I work today, how the hosting goes that I'm under the weather. So we'll see if this is a you Darvish or Shohei Otoni like performance from the other day when he was sick, or if this is going to be Jordan Esk. That's what we're hoping for. But Baba, you know, 693. That's Albert pool holes. What an absolute monster 42 year old is hitting 408. This was something pulled over from RotoWare.

1:57.0

So I don't want to pretend that I put this together. 408 with 10 homers and 20 RBIs over his last 25 games. That has since July 10th. And I saw my friend Eric Cross put out something as well that I think pool also the higher WRC plus than Vladimir Guerrero right now. Albert pool holes is on target, my friend.

2:18.0

Yeah, pure beast mode. It's it's fun to watch. It's crazy to watch. I wonder how many tests he has to take after games being his age, like, hey, sir, Keith, please give us a sample real quick, because this does not seem right. But it's great to see and a little little DFS tidbit. He's the bare minimum again tonight. So throw that out there.

2:36.0

You know, it's funny that you say that I was thinking about this yesterday. At this point, like, you just like, I mean, do not inject all of it in because I guess you could tarnish your legacy, which I think there's a little bit of that still floating around in him and just kind of surrounded him and stuff like that.

2:55.0

But there's got to be something where it's like, you put it all out. And whether it is, you know, in game performance or whatever else it is, but you're right. The dude's got to be tested every single night, because what do you do? I asked like, where has this been for four years? He hit a ball, like a foot and a half up in the zone. And he crushed it last night for 693. He's doing things he hasn't done. I don't know if that's motivation. I don't know if that's kind of like, you know, how a pitcher when you know that you know, you're going to go seven or eight. You're going to kind of come back on your

3:25.0

stuff. But if they're only going two or three innings, they're just going to let it all go. I don't know if who else is just letting it all go, not worrying about what happens at the end. But like wonky said, he's helping on 700. And it's within legit, like, territory, like it's going to happen. It's going to happen. But see, I think he's going to fall short. And I think there's going to be a real question if he tinkers with the idea of maybe coming back for a short stick. I just, me personally, how I am, I don't know, I'm not going to

3:55.0

know how I would stop that close to something. So you don't, you don't, you get to 700. So yeah, he'll come back for a short stint. If he has to, he'll go each hero on us and play for a little bit longer. Like, it'll happen. But I think you get to this year, like, he is just crushing things. And that, and I central is so bad. He's got some very juicy matchups in September to make things happen. God, I mean, baseball is just sitting here. I mean, baseball might be supplying if they're like, listen, if we can get that last week, if you can be within two the last week, it will be appointment.

4:25.0

How fun is it going to be here? If you are within one or two with the last week to go, it will be magnificent. It's fun to chase. And we've actually got a trivia question surrounded around Albert pool holes. So why don't we just throw it out? Let's throw it out and we'll keep moving on with the headlines. And the question is, at which visiting ballpark has Albert pool holes hit the most home runs, which visiting ballpark chat has Albert pool holes hit the most home runs in his career. He's got six ninety three.

4:55.0

Obviously, his home ball parks are not going to count in this. So which ballpark that is not home. Do you have a guest? The easy guess is Riggly, but it's probably wrong. Because that seems too easy. But Riggly stands out like a sort of it's a very good guess. It is not. I'm even going to give you guys a number. It won't help. 33. That's the number. 33 in gyms guest. Riggly. We had a Pittsburgh guest. Both good guests is incorrect. We'll come back to it in a minute. You guys can throw out and we'll see if anybody

5:25.0

is able to snag that one speaking to the Cardinals. Jordan Montgomery been phenomenal. It's almost comical at this point that you can get pseudo decent pictures that go to St. Louis and they just are better. It's a trope. It's like, oh guy goes here. It's a trope because it continues to happen. And Jordan Montgomery goes in from New York, where he's solid to St. Louis, where he looks amazing. He had a one hit shut out over the Cubs. It was his first career shut out. His first career completed.

5:55.0

It was a complete game. I pitched a Maddox in it. Need only 99 pitches to record 27 outs. He had 65 strikes in there. 14 swing and misses. And all the five offerings had a 29% CSW marker on it. So I get that was also wrote a world as well. Jordan Montgomery, Jose Katana had that little, but Jordan Montgomery, that looks like that back in your league winner. Yeah, he's outstanding. I've been on Joe Mo all year. I've been a huge, huge fan of his. No run support. Still not.

6:25.0

I get it with the Cardinals, but four wins and four starts already a more wins with the Cardinals. And he had with the Yankees all season, which is impressive. He's been dominant. And I saw some very smart people tweeted it out today that the Cardinals are smart, unlike the Yankees. And they have them. Throwing fewer sinkers and more fastballs and look what happens. It's amazing. What sinkers will do to a pitcher. And we've been said time and time again, but people still do it. Cut back on the sinkers more fastballs. Do the legit ace. I love it. We're seeing. And it's a start. Do you mean like more four Seamers and he is. Okay. So the last thing.

6:55.0

Interesting, because some guys really, really are able to make the sinker be everything that they're about. Like, um, and Luis Castillo. Luis Castillo is classified as like a sinker. And he's throwing it at like 98. Like some of these guys can really manage it. But if you can pinpoint some type of deficiency. Come off of the sinker and throw. It's funny that more four seems to do it. But you probably have more control. And it's a better setup off of your secondaries. He probably throws it harder to the sinker. Like, you know, Lisa Castillo throw in a 98 like doubt Montgomery's throwing it that hard. So then it becomes

7:25.0

more of a batting practice fastball. If he's not located properly. So it makes more sense. We do have the answer here. And a couple of people are in on it. Walkie says, does that one

7:35.1

home run off Lidge? Count as a million and make him for Houston. Yes, it is minute made. And it was 33 homers was there. And then I think a couple of other people. Yeah, Jim said agreed. 33 homers poolholes. The most on an opposing team that he has not played with. So obviously, like, you know, they're not. I don't even know. It would have been

7:54.7

funny to actually see what did he have as a opposing guy for L.A. when he was in St. Louis. So those could get all jumbled. But take those two out. It doesn't matter. It's Houston. Albert poolholes owns that team. He always has, of course. And Brad Lidge will never live that down.

8:09.8

What a cool piece of memory. I want. I want a Brad Lidge and Albert poolholes sign ball together. That would be fun.

8:15.3

That'd be sweet. Like I have the Bobby Thompson and Ralph Bronco ball from the shopper down the world. So you can put that one right next to it. Make sure there's a piece. Can you get a piece of the
