00:00And last night, what you saw in Scooball, first off on the NL side, I think we can knock
00:06that out quickly.
00:07You're right about Sal.
00:08If he stays healthy, this is his.
00:11This is his award.
00:12Like the numbers, he's so far ahead of everyone else at this point.
00:17And I think you could make a case that there's value at plus 115.
00:21The third favorite in schemes, I don't want to say no shot, but it's pretty close to no
00:25shot just because workload has historically been such a big part of winning this award.
00:33And for him to be around 60 innings and these other names are, you know, like 110, like
00:39in that range, just war wise, another big part of this award, it's almost impossible
00:46for him to catch them because sales at three, seven, you know, it's already almost four
00:51wins.
00:53At the very least, if you want to make an argument for schemes being live in the Cy
00:58young race, you can, but not at that price, not a four to one.
01:02Like you, we've, if you did not bet skein Cy young when it was up there in the teens,
01:09then you missed it.
01:10And it's okay.
01:11It's, but it's not going to come back without him having the kind of start or two that I
01:16think takes him out of the conversation.
01:18And that's still a possibility.
01:20Yeah.
01:21Maybe he blows everybody away.
01:23And I said this a couple of weeks ago, maybe Paul skeins is just some sort of alien and
01:28goes, you know, 12 and O is rookie here with like 140 innings pitched.
01:35And the pirates end up, you know, making it as a wild card in the national league.
01:39And it's all on the back of Paul skein.
01:41That's look the way he's thrown through his first two months at the major league level.
01:46I'm not ruling that out as a possibility, but it's not a probability.
01:50And so, yeah, uh, there is a path, I think two skeins winning the Cy young.
01:54It is a very tiny path that winds through a lot of woods and is very hard to get there
02:00and is impossible to take at this price.
