00:00The expectations for the New York Yankees, they're always high on a year-to-year basis.
00:04The front-line pitching staff, the power in the middle of that lineup, the bullpen that's usually paid very well
00:09and sometimes doesn't perform as if they're paid, but how about Cam Schlittler, young guy in Major League Baseball,
00:1310 starts on this Major League Baseball season, Craig?
00:16How about 60 innings pitched? How about 68 Ks?
00:19How about a 1.35 ERA, a .78 whip, a batting average against 168, and a K per walk ratio,
00:266.18.
00:28We're still waiting on Garrett Cole to get back in this lineup, but Schlittler pitching like the best pitcher in
00:33the Majors right now?
00:34Could it be, Craig?
00:35Yeah, we'll have to get back to this here in a minute with Garrett Cole because they're going to need
00:39him pretty quickly
00:39with one of the injuries that they had this past week.
00:42But look, I think right now it is fair to say that he's pitching like the very best pitcher in
00:48the American League.
00:48I still, of course, would lean towards Skeens in the National League.
00:51But that being said, you know, when you look at this, and I'm not saying that Luis Hill a few
00:57years ago was anywhere near where Schlittler was,
00:59but I remember these same conversations in April, like this is one of the best pitchers in baseball,
01:04and it tends to happen with the Yankees.
01:06So for me, like with the odds, and we'll talk about it later in the show, I'll probably pivot and
01:10think maybe this is someone else.
01:12Will the Yankees let Schlittler throw 170 innings a season?
01:16I mean, I just don't see it, so I don't know how they work this out.
01:21Naturally, they're playing for the postseason.
01:22They're playing for a World Series.
01:24But to me, he has been the most dominant pitcher in the AL.
01:27But I wonder, Donnie, and I've mentioned this before,
01:31Jose Soriano is not going to be the Cy Young Award winner, okay?
01:34He is not.
01:35And he's not having as good a year as Cam Schlittler.
01:38But if you put Jose Soriano in a Yankees uniform and you put Schlittler in an Angels uniform,
01:42I guarantee you the odds on FanDuel and DraftKings would be a lot shorter than they are right now.
01:46I'm just saying.
