What is happening? Welcome to the PlusPitch Podcast. You're wearing pitching podcast from PitcherList.com.

My name is Nick Pollock. Today is July 31st, the trade deadline day.

And yes, we are going to talk about baseball. I'm wearing my Ex-Wol Bacon shirt made of bacon and pancakes and eggs.

Because I don't say Ex-Wobocon. We do have that con Comic-Con convention version 2.

But I do want to mention before we start, we have a 4 p.m. trade deadline extravaganza

live stream at 4 p.m. Right. Paul Spore and I have done this for six years now. We wear suits.

We cover everything as it's coming on. We talk about all the trades that have happened already. It's awesome. It's the best one. We bring on people, random people from our chat to come on as well to talk about their favorite teams and the deals that happen. So make sure that you are there at playback.tv slash pitcher list or at YouTube.com slash pitcher list to check out the live stream at 4 p.m.

Easter time we're going to do it to about 6.6.15 because we know there are always some extra trades after, but it's just the best time. It's Thursday's trade deadline date. It is awesome. And so let's talk about yesterday though, because we are sitting on the wents. That is, should we be going after Joey Wentz? I made a ridiculous move in Tout Wars where I said,

you know what? I need to relieve her this week because I had lost Landon Rup and I lost

I lost the Felix Batista in the same week. And I needed one more reliever. And I said,

you know what, Joey Wentz? I'm going to do this against the Royals. And guess what? 6.2 winnings of zero and runs one hit, three walks and seven K's.

Unbelievable. He didn't get a win, which is really annoying. But we are seeing 7.1 feet of

extension after being 6.5 feet in previous years for Joey Went. He also has one of the rarest things in his career that is full runway as a starter,

a proper starter.

He was stretched out in the previous two, about four and change in both stars.

We hadn't seen five innings yet.

And here we go, six point two innings at 95 pitches.

It's Atlanta.

And they just acquired Eric Fethe and Carlos Carrasco

because their rotation is completely decimated at the moment. So yes, Joey Wentz, I think it's

like the SP2 right now behind Spencer Strider. It's like Bryce Elder and Spencer Strider and

Joey Wentz and Carlos Carasco and Eric Fetty.
