00:03 - Let's talk some pitching before the break.
00:04 What do we have?
00:05 - Yeah, two pitchers that have been
00:07 absolutely outstanding this year.
00:08 The first, Ranger Suarez of the Philadelphia Phillies,
00:10 pitching to a 1.70 ERA.
00:13 It's been unbelievable, a .80 whip.
00:15 That's 79 strikeouts and 16 walks in 74 innings.
00:19 He has been an ace along with Zach Wheeler in that rotation.
00:22 Nola has been more like the third guy,
00:24 which again is why I like the Phillies so much.
00:26 And Tanner Houck of the Boston Red Sox.
00:29 Another one too, a 1.91 ERA for him over 85 innings,
00:33 84 strikeouts, just 15 walks, a .92 ERA.
00:37 You know, we said going into the year,
00:38 if this Red Sox rotation stayed healthy,
00:41 the Red Sox could be a really plucky team.
00:43 Unfortunately, they've had injuries.
00:44 Bayo has missed some time.
00:45 Gialito missed time at the beginning of the year.
00:48 He got hurt and he was gonna be gone
00:50 the rest of the season.
00:51 Garrett Whitlock out for the year too.
00:53 So unfortunately, things haven't gone their way.
00:55 But Tanner Houck has been that guy.
00:57 You look up at the top of the standings
00:59 where the Red Sox are,
01:00 and you look up at the leaderboards
01:01 and Tanner Houck shows up a lot.
01:03 And that is something I don't think anybody realized.
01:05 And both of these guys came in an extreme value
01:09 this year in drafts.
01:10 So if you have both these guys, good on you.
01:12 Do not let them go.
01:14 Even if that ERA goes closer to three,
01:16 you've already gotten a fantastic investment out of them.
