00:00They're reporting on Baseball Tonight right now that the Cubs picked up Clay Holmes.
00:04Oh, dude.
00:05Yeah, John Heyman a couple minutes ago.
00:07Holmes and Taylor, two Cubs from Mets for Rojas pending physical.
00:11Let's go!
00:14Let's go!
00:15Clay Holmes is that dude.
00:17I wanted him even more than Kevin Gossman.
00:19I've been tweeting about Clay Holmes.
00:21Never tweet, Lawrence.
00:22But I have been tweeting about Clay Holmes.
00:24Talked about he's the first guy brought up in targets when we started doing the segment.
00:28The Reed Detmers thing is a wrap now, right?
00:31Oh, I think so.
00:31Because you got Gossman.
00:32Dude.
00:33You got Clay Holmes.
00:34Man.
00:35You got Zephyr John in your bullpen.
00:37Clay Holmes is going to be towards the top of that rotation for a postseason run.
00:42I am a big advocate for that dude.
00:45I think he's a badass.
00:47And, oh, man.
00:48And for Jefferson Rojas from the prospect list, go, man, go.
00:54If that's true, that is huge, in my opinion.
00:59Wow.
01:00It's good to have my cousin here, you know?
01:03Now they need to go out and get the Lions GM Brad Holmes.
01:07Yep.
01:07Get him in there.
01:08Who else?
01:09Sherlock.
01:10Like, whoever else you want to get.
01:11All my cousins.
01:12Just bring them here.
01:13Bring them all here.
01:15Dude!
01:15Dude, if Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor.
01:18Tyrone Taylor is a defense-first outfielder, whatever.
01:24Clay Holmes, who made a rehab start on Sunday.
01:26Your rotation looks pretty strong right now.
01:28Oh, and Clay Holmes had an ERA of 2.2 in his first nine starts this year.
01:33Was going deep into games.
01:35Capable.
01:36Completely revamped his career and became a reliable starter.
01:41Was their best starting pitcher.
01:43And then broke his leg, the tibia, on a comebacker.
01:46He's the guy who counseled Ben Brown for his big comeback.
01:50Clay Holmes is probably going to opt out.
01:51They should sign that dude to an extension.
01:53They should have those conversations now.
01:56I'm a believer in Clay Holmes, if you can't tell.
01:59Wow.
01:59That's huge.
02:01Not a trace, no doubt, in your mind.
02:03I'm excited.
02:04I'm excited about this.
02:06You should be.
02:07Like, this is...
02:07Wow.
02:08Look, let's go back to a few weeks ago.
02:10And let's go back to Craig Counsel pleading publicly with his bosses.
02:16Hey, we're good until the All-Star break.
02:20We're going to need some pitching.
02:22We're going to need some pitching.
02:22We're going to need some pitching.
