Hello and welcome to episode 1507 of The Sleeper and the Bust.

It is Thursday, May 14th. I'm your host, Pauls 4.

Join today by Justin Mason and Justin only. How you doing, Justin?

I'm doing all right. Doing a little bit of back issue, which has been annoying, like just...

Never fun. Yeah, nothing bad or anything like that, but just like preventing me from feeling comfortable,

which sucks, especially when you're sitting by the desk for like, you know, 12 hours a day.

That's my life, dude.

That's my life.

Listen, I'm not working manual labor.

Not pretending that my life as a baseball dweeb is hard, but I also deal with back pain and being sedentary is not good for it. I had to remind myself, get up, you know, don't stay sitting too long, take that little dweeb out. Funny, right before we started, Sharra wakes up from a nap. She's like, oh, she got to go out. Let me let her out real quick. Justin's like, okay, cool. We get out. The millisecond she gets out. She doesn't peat. She lay down in the sun. She was like, oh, I'm here to Sunbat. I was like, we don't have time for that, Shaw. You got to go to the bathroom and we got to talk about baseball. So we're going to talk some pitching today. We've done a couple

offensive episodes the last two covering some fast starts and some slow starts. Now I just want to

look at some general pitching stuff. I was just kind of scanning the player raider right now,

seeing who's doing well and put a few things together here. A couple independent guy topics and then and then sort of

some either oars in honor of our boy, Eno. We're going to start with the goat though, the

goats roll. Show Hey Otani. I'm on this one because I've been on this one even before the season

that I thought we might be using his pitching more than we generally plan

to when you take an Otani.

Should teams be deploying him as an SP more than a hitter right now?

I know it's team dependent, but should the majority, based on where pitching's at, injuries

that we've had, everything that you know about the general market, should the

majority be looking at him as a pitcher right now with Otani?

I mean, if you need the pitching for sure, like I don't, like in my Labadini team, right?
