00:00The NL Cy Young tracker, according to people who think they know,

00:05this is who they say are the top five names for the NL Cy Young right now.

00:10Paul Skeens, of course, in the top slot.

00:14Zach Wheeler, Yamamoto, Logan Webb, and McKenzie, don't call me Tipper Gore.

00:21Your top five Cy Young tracker in the National League.

00:24Yeah, listen, I don't deny that Gore has struck out the most guys in baseball.

00:30But to me, it's about how many runs do you give up?

00:37You know, there's a lot of guys that strike out guys.

00:40And there's a lot of guys that strike out guys and don't have a winning record

00:45because their team doesn't score runs.

00:48Now, the Pirates have every time this guy schemes pitches, they lose.

00:53But I'll tell you this much.

00:55The guy doesn't give up any runs.

00:57He gives up one run a game.

00:58So, he's the most incredible pitcher right now in baseball still.

01:06And that includes, and I'm going to say it,

01:08the only people that can even touch him right now are Max Fried and Skubel, right?

01:15So, guess who's starting the National League All-Star game again for the second year in a row?

01:20It'll be Skeens.

01:21Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if he's in that slot again in Atlanta coming up.

01:31You know, I know.

01:33Yeah.

01:35You know, there really isn't.

01:36I don't think.

01:37Look, they always put Wheeler up there.

01:40Wheeler's good.

01:41I just, Skeens has been better so far this year.

01:44I don't think there's any denying it.

01:46I mean, I think Yamamoto's been a little bit better than Wheeler, to be quite honest with you.

01:49I'd put Yamamoto probably in the second.

01:51I would agree.

01:52I would agree with that.

01:53Skeens has already beaten Wheeler and the Phillies.

01:56And they've, you know, swept the Phillies.

02:00And, like, he's the best pitcher in the National League, Skeens.

02:03Yep.

02:04He is.

02:05He's been that, that's for sure.

02:06Start the best.

02:07That's what will happen.

02:08Start the best.

02:09Did they not start him last year because he was the best?

02:12He was.

02:13The phenom coming in and starting that game.
