| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's leading off. What's up, everybody? It's Chris Welsh joining me on this beautiful |
| 0:19.2 | Thursday is Andrew Sifter and we are in the house to get you set for all your playoffs, |
| 0:24.4 | all your stuff, all your things. Talk about rookies who we were going to maybe cut who |
| 0:28.3 | hit home runs and you know that guy, Aaron Judge, of course Andrew Sifter, Andrew 55 |
| 0:36.0 | homers for Aaron Judge, no big deal. Also getting a little Barry Bond's treatment, five walks in |
| 0:42.5 | the double header yesterday, Aaron Judge is quite the MVP. Yeah, you know, we've had this |
| 0:50.5 | discussion about Otani versus Judge and Otani has the edge because of the pitching, but Judge is |
| 0:56.4 | making it really hard to dispute what he's doing. It's really impressive. And I, you know, |
| 1:01.6 | I think I saw a gray from Razzball on Twitter doing that comparison to Barry Bond's and talking |
| 1:06.2 | about how you remember playing fantasy when Barry Bond's set that home run record and it really |
| 1:12.6 | is starting to feel like that with all these walks and 20 more home runs than anybody else in |

| 1:28.0 | up, you know, the call, the Homer, the big one that's going to break any record. So we'll see how that |
| 1:32.6 | goes the rest of the way. And funny enough, we had the wonky bonus yesterday, a dang, by the way, |
| 1:39.2 | the don't remember this. The Otani versus Judge, they're trying not to. I'm trying to avoid going |
| 1:43.2 | into it. Just can't help it sometimes. It's always so tough too with these things where it's like |
| 1:47.6 | every day one of the big pieces of news. It's like it's Otani or Judge doing something and they both |
| 1:52.0 | hit Homer's yesterday and Judge just keeps going. So I apologize, of course, but we don't need to go |
| 1:58.0 | through the MVP conversations or anything like that. But it was funny because yesterday, |
| 2:03.4 | wonky had the bonus for the home run call, which the bonus was taking a player who had a double |
| 2:09.8 | digit number, so like 11, 22, 33. And you would get to rock with that, except Judge wasn't available |
