00:00Phillies Pirates in Pennsylvania.
00:03Ranger Suarez against Andrew Heaney.
00:05Christopher Sanchez takes on Paul Skeens.
00:08Always a good start for Skeens.
00:10At this point, George, it doesn't matter what the line is.
00:13It's really hard to fade Skeens, although he just doesn't win a lot.
00:17And it's not his fault.
00:18I think it was Jason Stark wrote a great column this week about they just don't hit.
00:22We knew that coming in, but this is not a shock.
00:24That he was going to pitch great, but he's going to lose some games
00:27or get a no decision because the team can't hit.
00:30He's going to leave a lot of games 2-2 here.
00:33You're still starting Skeens.
00:34And by the way, you're starting Sanchez.
00:35You're starting Suarez.
00:36The only question is, are you going to start Heaney?
00:37You're probably not starting Heaney, but Philadelphia, they're not hitting well right now.
00:42No way.
00:43Bryce Harper, he's not going to play.
00:44Well, I don't think he's going to play today.
00:46Schwarber, I don't want to say Slubby, but he's not hitting the long ball right now.
00:50So I wouldn't be afraid to start Heaney.
00:52I'm just probably not doing it.
00:54Tomorrow, listen, it's the under.
00:56I expect a 3-2 game somewhere around there.
00:58But I'm not afraid to start Sanchez tomorrow, Greg.
01:01Maybe I don't get the win, but I think my other numbers will be he'll strike batters out.
01:05The ratios are going to be just fine.
01:08Diamondbacks taking on the Reds.
01:09We've got Nick Martinez at home for the Reds against Ryan Nelson.
01:14And then Zach Gallen takes on Brady Singer on Sunday.
01:18That's the better of the two pitching matchups.
01:20Absolutely.
01:22By the way, there's some noise here that Gallen could be traded by the deadline if Arizona falls out of it.
01:27You know, just keep that in mind there.
01:29Because I think he's due for a big contract next year, and he's not pitched all that well.
01:33All right.
01:33So just keep that in mind.
01:35Remember, Arizona Reds, they're going to finish up the suspended game before this game.
01:39So that could play games a little bit.
01:41I think they're going to finish that game 40 minutes later to start the second game.
01:44So for anybody who wonders what's going on here, that's why.
01:47I think they stopped in the seventh inning last night due to the rain here.
01:51So keep that in mind.
01:52I do expect runs today in Cincinnati.
01:56We've got the Braves taking on the Giants Saturday and Sunday.
01:59Bryce Elder against Logan Webb.
02:02Spencer Strider starts Sunday against Landon Rube.
02:05This should be a good Strider start, George.
02:07I mean, like we talked about buying low.
02:09I'd like to see that happen on Sunday.
02:11That's the one we're paying attention to, right, Webb?
02:14I'm sure we'll pitch very well today against the Elder.
02:17It should go well for the Giants.
02:18But we need to see Strider.
02:19I don't expect him to go seven innings, one run, strikeout 11.
02:22But I need to see more.
02:24I need to see him pitch better.
02:25He hasn't done that yet yet.
02:27So we're still waiting for Strider to be that guy.
02:31Astros, Guardians, Hunter Brown, Gavin Williams on Saturday.
02:35We're still waiting on an Astros starter for Sunday against Tanner Bibby, George.
02:39Houston's playing well.
02:41They are.
02:42Listen, no one hates the Astros more than me, but they are playing well.
02:45Brown, another guy, if not for school, we're probably talking about him for Cy Young.
02:49All right, Gavin Williams has been pretty good.
02:51I would expect low-scoring games with Houston and Cleveland.
02:55Royals and White Sox.
02:57Let's wrap up here.
02:58We'll continue on the other side.
02:59Waka and Hauser.
03:01Lorenzen against Shane Smith for the White Sox, who's – I'm guessing they're all –
03:06they make that announcement next month.
03:08I would agree with you there, though.
03:10I do expect it to be him.
03:11Hey, Louis Robert had a couple of hits last night, a couple of RBIs, right?
03:15Maybe finally sort of breaking out of it?
03:17Maybe there.
03:18Royals bounce back today after losing to the White Sox.
