00:00or now in that Phillies, Washington series, you might go back to opening day and look at the Philadelphia Phillies output like, whoa, scoring a lot of runs here.
00:07I'm telling you right now, Mackenzie Gore was fully stretched out in midway through the season. He wasn't coming out with 93 pitches probably went at least another inning. He was absolutely filthy. How filthy was it? Look at the screen right now, opening day history when you are in a realm of there's only two players to do something and Bob Gibson was one of them. That's a crazy good opening day.
00:27Awesome opening day for him. Obviously a player that they acquired from the one Soto trade player that I unfortunately couldn't keep on one of my Dynasty teams. As you know, I'm big into fantasy. I had him on one of my Dynasty teams years ago when he was during that trade wasn't able to keep him. A player that's really shaping up to be the ace of their staff, a player that I think we're going to look at to trust when it comes to strikeout props every time he's on the mound considering, you know, if the matchup is good, but a player that a lot of people should be excited to see.
00:57Yeah, absolutely there. And also taking a look at Shohei Ohtani. Oh, yeah, you didn't get enough of the Dodgers 5 and 0 start returning back to the mound here, but the Dodgers are telling us Tom sit back relax. Give it some time here.
01:12Yes, you sit back and wait and there's a lot of news that or there was clips the other day that he's throwing a bullpen session. Now, he did have like a heavy brace on his arm. So I'm not sure what the timeline is for that. They've given us a timeline. There was some reports last year. Like, oh, he maybe he would pitch in the bullpen.
01:28Postseason postseason, which was a complete falsification of information regardless of that. But at some point he's going to pitch and the dynamic. I want to know is like what will be the overall level of trust that we have in him.
01:42It is he going to be pitching is he going to be hitting on the same days is his arm and me tired as that can affect his swings is he can be out there and be, you know, an okay picture where he's out there more just to get into the rhythm of things, but he's not going to be as high of a strikeout picture like there's so many unknowns with Ohtani where it's great to see him out there, but it's still just
01:58No, it really is. But also, let me ask you this question. Like, do we need him as a starter? Can we just bring a minute like a high-leverage situation to eight or nine like 1012 pitches get him in get him out at that point or we just going to bring him back and say, you know what?
02:10Yes, up the tank 80 pitches to 85 pitches a game. That's where he needs you. He's so darn talented that you can use them anywhere you want out there feels like right. I think that may be the best thing where it's like they can feel it out for a couple starts because the five six starters that can go at him in as a seventh.
02:26They can just mix and match them like it will test things out who doesn't work. We'll move on.
02:30I'll tell I can't wait to see when he comes back his picture. Like if he's still hitting like he did last year, the MVP the sky's the limit you get all that.
