00:00Let's go to the National League MVP, where the conversation should just be Shohei Ohtani.
00:06But now here comes Juan Soto with 5-1.
00:08Here comes Mookie Betts.
00:09Here comes Kyle Tucker, Elie Delacruz.
00:12So Joe, let's talk National League MVP.
00:15It just feels like Ohtani again, right?
00:17I mean, especially if he's going to come back and pitch.
00:20He's 50-50 and he pitches.
00:22I mean, what are we supposed to do with that?
00:26I want to put the glasses on of the old man Joe again for a second and just talk about
00:30when I was a young kid, when I saw Babe Ruth playing, he didn't steal 50 bases, but this
00:36Ohtani kid, he could steal all them bases and hit the home runs and pitch too.
00:42That's impressive.
00:43Why is Matlock a lady?
00:45When I used to watch Matlock, it wasn't a lady.
00:48It was a man, and now it's a lady, and times are changing.
00:53Is Shohei Ohtani or bust here?
00:54I mean, just put all the units on Ohtani.
00:57Here's the thing.
00:58You're trying to look for a narrative.
00:59Could anybody else pop here?
01:02And Soto and Endor and all those guys being on the same team makes it tricky for me.
01:06Bryce Harper could certainly be a guy, but Kyle Tucker plus 1,400 contract year.
01:10If the Cubs win this division and Kyle Tucker carries this Cubs offense, that is the dark
01:15horse candidate, but right now it's still the same horse, and it's Ohtani.
01:19Matt, who's MVP candidates for you?
01:22No, I don't want to watch Scarecrow and Mrs. King.
01:24I want to watch Matlock.
01:26All right, real quick.
01:28It's Bryce Harper as my favorite.
01:29This coincides with my belief that Trey Turner is on a rebound and Max Kepler makes this
01:34lineup longer, and I just think that the Phillies are finally there, and if they emerge, Bryce
01:39Harper's going to be that guy.
01:40If you don't like that, you can go to Mookie Betts, because if it's not Ohtani and it's
01:43not Friedman, then Mookie Betts still has a place in greatness in this Dodgers pantheon.
01:49Strong shots are the two Cruzes.
01:51Elie Delacruz is plus 2,000.
01:53He has all the ability to do that.
01:55He's cut down his strikeout rate.
01:57He has the impressive ability to do it.
01:59He can hit the ball hard.
02:01He can steal bases.
02:02And the last guy here is Aniel Cruz at 10,000 to one, because when healthy, imagine Pittsburgh.
02:09Cruz, Reynolds, Paul Skeens, the eyes of the world, and I said this two seasons ago.
02:14Pittsburgh is just a stone's throw away from East Palestine, Ohio, and don't think that
02:18we've forgotten about those people and what's happened there.
02:21Things like baseball can lift everyone up.
02:23So there's my NL there, Joe.
