00:00Scooble is the favorite minus 350 now he's at you got Corbin Burns and then everybody
00:10else is a little bit of a distance behind here with just under two months left in the
00:14season.
00:15I mean was Scooble's game the other night in Seattle not enough for more brownie points
00:21here for Cy Young votes.
00:23I mean that was impressive what he did against the Mariners right.
00:26And I bet that a plus one 18 and he hit he won the game.
00:30It was a huge performance on the road against a tough team in first place.
00:34I mean as far as I'm concerned he's still got the Cy Young.
00:40I agree with you.
00:41It is him right now the National League a little bit more up for debate.
00:45I know who me and you want to win the NL and he's pitching this weekend in Los Angeles
00:50that of course is Paul Skeens who's 2 to 1 sale the favorite on the board 115 Zach Wheeler
00:55involved as well.
00:56Little three man race for the top of the NL Cy Young board right now.
01:00Well I don't think sale pitched well the other night right.
01:02So that was that was a bad game for him.
01:05And then Skeens his last game he didn't pitch well but they're up for nothing when he left
01:14the game and they lost the game.
01:16The bullpen blew the game for him so it wasn't his fault he got a no decision.
01:19So I would guess frankly that if he if he goes and mows down the Dodgers like he mows
01:25down everybody else I want to see if last week you know his last start was if he was
01:32running out of gas because he really wasn't finding the strikes he wasn't getting the
01:36strikeouts he wasn't getting the outs easily and mowing through batters he struggled right
01:43and finding location and everything else.
01:45So I want to see if you know this performance against the Dodgers will be I think indicative
01:51of whether or not they're going to shut him down because Mike they're getting to the point
01:55where they're falling out of the wild card now every day they lose another half game.
02:01You know what I mean.
02:02Every other day it's a game.
02:04So I think if they get to the point where they're five or six out they're going to shut
02:07him down.
02:09That would be my fear as well especially when it comes to that award.
02:12They are now four and a half back of the final wild card spot as they head to L.A. this weekend
02:18they've lost four games in a row.
02:20The A.L. rookie of the year.
02:22This one has a lot of debate to it still.
02:25It is cold and cows are from the Orioles right now.
02:28Louie Heal is there.
02:29I tell you if Jackson holiday I know he's only going to play the last two months but
02:33if he's going to hit four home runs every week like he did for the Orioles he'll climb
02:37up that list pretty fast as well.
02:39Yeah.
02:40I mean I'm not going to I'm not going to argue with that certainly.
02:44I'm not that caught up in that rookie of the year in the L.A.
02:48We don't even need to show the N.L. because even if the Pirates did shut down schemes
02:52tomorrow and he didn't throw another pitch this year he would win the N.L. rookie of
02:56the year anyway.
02:57So it doesn't even matter.
02:58He's the N.L. rookie of the year.
