00:00Hey, I thought I'd give you these today as well.

00:05The updated look.

00:06We try to look at these every week on coast to coast, and that is some of the awards and

00:10where they're at.

00:11A few of them are looking like runaways with eight weeks left in the season, including

00:16both of the MVPs, maybe AL side, look at where judges now, Scotty, that would be minus a

00:21thousand is where they have judge as the favorite.

00:25I know that I've seen a lot of the charts and graphs crowd start to bang the drum for

00:32Bobby Witt Jr. with the amazing July that he had, but hard to argue with a guy who's

00:39a homer and an RBI short of 40 and 100 on August 1st.

00:44Yeah, like honestly, I think Bobby Witt's been awesome to watch, and he's been tearing

00:52it up, that's great and everything.

00:53But he's honestly, he's not on that level of Aaron judge, he's not on his tier at all.

01:01In fact, you know, who is Ohtani?

01:07That's it.

01:08There's only one guy that's on his tier.

01:10And I'll tell you another thing, like you'd rather face Bobby Witt or Juan Soto.

01:16I'd rather face Bob Witt, because I think Soto does more damage than Witt.

01:21And they got Witt way ahead of Soto on that list.

01:24And you can't tell me, do you really think that Witt's better than Juan Soto?

01:30I'm going to just ask you right now, flush.

01:37I think that Witt's very, very good.

01:40I think that it's a different conversation, maybe a year or two from now.

01:44I think Witt might be better than Juan Soto.

01:47In a couple of years, he might be better.

01:50But is he better right now?

01:51Who would you fear more in the batter's box in a playoff game, Bobby Witt or Juan Soto?

01:59I would have to lean Soto at this point.

02:02But I think it's a lot closer than we think.

02:05I think that it's very close.

02:06I think Witt's no joke.

02:09I put him on the same tier as Soto.

02:12I don't put him on their tier, fair enough?

02:15So if Witt's gotten that good, then I'd put him on the same tier, because I don't think

02:19that Soto's just so incredible.

02:22I've had this conversation with you.

02:23I don't think he's so incredible that I'm giving him $380 million, $400 million.

02:28I'm not doing it.

02:29I'm not giving him 12 years and trout money or even judge money.

02:34I think he's a really great player that, in my opinion, deserves less years and less money.

02:42I don't think he deserves that gigantic 12-year thing that they've been giving out to everybody.

02:48I don't buy that.

02:49But I put him on the same tier as Witt.

02:50But I put Judge and Otani on a stratosphere, penthouse tier, that's untouchable by any

02:56other players in baseball.

02:58There's no one on that level.

03:00And that's why they're both such heavy favorites right now for both of those awards.
