Transcript

00:00Elie De La Cruz is so special.

00:03He hit the steamboat.

00:06They said that was 439.

00:09There's no way on God's green earth that that was 439.

00:13He hits a simple grounder to center field, an RBI single.

00:18Dude gets a double out of it.

00:21It went right to the center fielder

00:23and it slowed up in the grass and he gets a double.

00:27Dude is electric and if we remove Betts

00:30from the F war standing,

00:31cause he's gonna fall, he's third right now.

00:34Elie De La Cruz is third.

00:35After Otani, Harper, then there's De La Cruz.

00:39There's a 90 to one on Elie De La Cruz for NLMVP.

00:43I mean, he's got a realistic shot at 30-60, right?

00:48And Acuna last year was the first one to do that.

00:51So if Acuna won NLMVP with the 30-60 season,

00:56you can't argue against Elie De La Cruz win an MVP

00:59with a 30-60 season.

01:01The power is starting to come to life.

01:03It's that time of year in Cincinnati too, right?

01:05In that ballpark.

01:06Yes, sir.

01:0717 homers right now, very easily turns into 30

01:11and we know he's on pace for 60 stolen bases already.

01:14No problem.

01:15So yeah, 90 to one.

01:18That's a great call.
