00:00Now, the one that's even more bizarre is Kevin Gossman, where we're going to flip the script
00:07around.
00:08So Kevin Gossman has been a little up and down this year, but what makes less sense
00:13is the fact that his home ERA is 6.68 and his whip at home is 1.61.
00:21The ERA on the road, 1.86, 0.96 whip.
00:26I mean, we're talking young caliber here when he is away.
00:30Only when he's away from Rodgers.
00:33What is going on here?
00:34I don't understand this, and this is a pitcher historical who's been pretty good in that
00:38building.
00:39So this is one that's, I think, harder to gauge.
00:41With the Paddock one, you know, Paddock hasn't been in our psyche for a while.
00:45Gossman has been, and Gossman's been a top guy no matter where he's pitched.
00:48But this split this year screams to me that there's something else going on that we don't
00:52know about.
00:53I don't know.
00:54All I know is that concentration situations there, maybe some adjustments to the mound
00:59at home.
01:00I don't know what's been going on there, but whatever it is, it's not been good for Gossman
01:03there in Toronto this year.
01:06I agree wholeheartedly, and I've heard crazy things about guys, but at the end of the day,
01:10you hit the nail on the head.
01:11Whether the reasons are or what they aren't, you wager upon the numbers.
01:16Look, I actually interviewed Chris Paddock when I first entered into this whole sports
01:20journalism world, a devout man of faith, a Christian.
01:23His brother, I believe, is his manager.
01:25Maybe he can't get to his local place of worship when he's on.
01:28It could be something so minute.
01:30Kevin Gossman at home, maybe there are issues in his personal life at home, and then when
01:34he goes on the road, he's free of all those things.
01:37Again, it does not matter how's and why's or a thousand lies.
01:42Joe is right.
01:43Wager upon these numbers.
01:45Gossman at home?
01:46Take overs.
01:47Take earned runs.
01:48Take things like that.
01:49He's smart.
