00:03 All right, interesting market.
00:05 I wanted to ask you about this, Matt.
00:06 The manager of the year as we sort of award season is now getting to the point
00:10 where things are stable, but both races are really close.
00:14 Right now, Kansas City's Matt Quartaro is the favorite to win the manager of the year,
00:19 a plus 170 this incredible season the Royals have had.
00:22 But Cleveland has surpassed any expectation and Stephen Votis plus 240.
00:27 Then you have some other names like Brandon Hyde, Aaron Boone, AJ Hinch,
00:31 Rocco Baldelli.
00:32 I mean, I really don't see any of those winning it, only because again,
00:36 Hyde just won it and had a great season with the Orioles.
00:39 What do you make of this market?
00:40 Do you think it's down to those two?
00:42 >> Well, yeah, I think Vote to me is the guy that I'd rather go with.
00:47 He just offers slightly more value.
00:50 I mean, sometimes if no one really stands out, they might just say,
00:53 who's the best team?
00:54 Has this manager won it before?
00:56 Like if the Yankees really blow everyone away, could they give it to Aaron Boone?
01:01 I think it's possible, but both the Guardians and the Royals are doing enough
01:06 that I think one of those two guys is the clear front runner and for
01:10 good reason and would win it.
01:12 >> We got the National League real quick.
01:14 We got about 30 seconds to go here.
01:16 I would say it's the same thing here.
01:18 I mean, a two-manager race, Thompson with Philadelphia,
01:21 Pat Murphy with Milwaukee.
01:23 I would tend to think if Milwaukee wins a division, Matt, it's gonna be Murphy.
01:26 >> Yeah, I really like Murphy.
01:29 I think the guy to watch for though is Snitker.
01:31 If the Braves overcome the Acuna injury and finish really high,
01:34 I think he could be a really interesting value.
