00:00How about this outing has nine strikeouts and five shutout innings and his ERA is now

00:071.99.

00:08That would be Paul Steen's who should win the NL Rookie of the Year despite the fact

00:13that there are people that I guess a lot of people that say he's not going to win it,

00:17but he should win it.

00:19And I believe they're wrong.

00:20He's going to pitch in the Bronx on Saturday, right?

00:24Bronx on Saturday.

00:25Yeah.

00:26Now look, he's now the favorite minus 1.45.

00:31He's moved back.

00:32This is why I did this for you today.

00:34He is now minus 1.45 Merrill's plus 1.10.

00:38Well that's because I think Merrill's been outstanding all year and he actually got the

00:44hottest in August and the baseball season goes till the end of September.

00:51And what Steen's has done is go out and own September.

00:54And if he, what he did yesterday was amazing.

00:58And if he goes and does that in the Bronx in his last start against the Yankees who

01:03are favored to go to the World Series, they are, then you've got to give him the Rookie

01:07of the Year.

01:08He captivated baseball this year.

01:10And the only people that care about Jackson Merrill and baseball are frankly people from

01:16San Diego and a few baseball writers.

01:19And that's where it's fixed.

01:21You know, Scott Miller and all those guys love Jackson Merrill.

01:24Bob Nightingale loves Jackson Merrill because they all live in the West Coast in San Diego

01:28and Phoenix.

01:29And the reality is, is that Paul Steen's owned baseball this year.
