00:03 Even if I see a pitcher that doesn't have a strikeout per inning or nine per nine,
00:07 I'm not shying away anymore because I'm like, all right, at least the guy is
00:12 healthy.
00:12 >> At least the guy is healthy.
00:15 So I think your macro point is correct that sort of ground balling,
00:20 get me five, six innings every five days.
00:24 Don't get shellacked style pitchers have way more value this season,
00:28 like this season in particular cuz we've already seen so
00:31 many starting pitching injuries.
00:32 I mean, the number one starting pitcher off the board out for the year.
00:36 Garrett Cole was going as a top three starting pitcher in drafts that happened
00:40 before he had this arm injury.
00:42 Like we've seen so many guys already wiped off the board.
00:45 Now, we are kind of past, the way I understand it is that we're sort of past
00:49 the danger zone, we're past the ramp up period.
00:52 Which is not to say we aren't gonna have more guys like we just saw Blake Snell
00:56 go on the 15 day, more guys will get hurt.
00:59 But we're sort of past the guys are pushing it too hard too early.
01:03 They might end up doing the UCL thing pretty early here.
01:07 They're kind of getting to their ramped up period.
01:10 Tyler Anderson, I don't think I can get there though.
01:13 10% walk rate this year, 10% walk rate last year,
01:17 even in the middle of a decent season.
01:20 Like that, I don't think his whip can hold.
01:22 Last year he ended up with a 1.4 whip.
01:25 Right now it's down at 1.055.
01:28 And he's not on a team that's lined up to get a ton of wins.
01:32 So your macro point is correct that sometimes you do just need innings.
01:36 And maybe when Tyler Anderson gets a two start week and
01:39 one of them is against the Oakland Athletics, you pick him up.
01:42 But I don't think that this is like the elite time.
