00:00This is, I'm not making this up, 6-3-0 area code, PCA not hitting the ball hard is concerning.
00:077-0-8 area code, PCA equals Jay Hay.
00:122-2-4 area code, PCA equals Gordon Beckham.
00:18Those are three different area codes, three different people,
00:21and they are all kind of wondering what has gone awry for Pete Crow Armstrong.
00:27Here's the PC average.
00:30Well, I mean, look at the body of work from last July until now,
00:37and that, you know, is that the present, that's the present form we're seeing again in Pete Crow Armstrong.
00:44Now, do you want to bet against Pete Crow Armstrong if you were going to Circa and making a bet
00:49today?
00:51What would you guys bet as the final numbers for Pete Crow Armstrong in 2026?
00:59That's a tough one, Bruce.
01:02It's a good one, though, isn't it?
01:0322 homers.
01:05Okay.
01:0675 runs batted in.
01:09OPS, 790.
01:10Okay.
01:11What about Bregman?
01:13What numbers is he going to put up by the end of the year?
01:16He's batting, what is it, 213?
01:19I mean, he's got to get a hell of a lot better than that, and he's got to start hitting
01:23some home runs.
01:25You know, you mentioned Bush.
01:27That, I mean, it's great to get a pinch hit, but 0 for 30?
01:33Huh?
01:34You know, you're really worried about it.
01:36Look, we're almost back to Nico being what he is, which is one of the best players in baseball, best
01:45hitters in baseball, taking away the OPS part of it.
01:50It's almost back to that.
01:51But again, how much do you allow for the beginning of the year?
01:55How much do you allow for it's just early in April?
01:59That's the question.
02:00Yeah, we're asking that question.
02:02How much do you go that way?
02:03That is a great question.
02:05I don't know.
02:06I mean, I would say you give it until, as our buddy Ron Coomer says, you give it until May,
02:14sometime maybe a week, you know, right before Memorial Day.
02:19And then you start looking at numbers, and then you start predicting where teams are going to go, where players
02:25are going to go.
02:26But look, if you saw PCA last year at this time, until the All-Star game, he was being talked
02:34about as the third best player in baseball.
