00:00I think at least the biggest story from the day today has to be the shift because for the first
00:06time in the MVP odds in years, Shohei Ohtani as of right now, as it stands on FanDuel, DraftKings
00:14and everywhere else is no longer the favorite to win the National League MVP. It is Pete Crow
00:19Armstrong, who had two home runs today. As you can see right there, those odds, you can show that
00:25again, Chris. It's okay. Those odds were before the game today, but currently they've moved. And now
00:31Pete Crow Armstrong, for the first time, there is someone else, Joe, outside of Shohei Ohtani that is
00:37the favorite to win the MVP. I disagree with it. I don't think it's correct. I know that PCA is
00:42having
00:43a great year and he may go on very well to win the MVP. It's very possible. He's having a
00:48career
00:48season, one of the best seasons in the history of the Cubs, Joe. And I acknowledge that and I think
00:53it's great. But at the same time, I think that we're headed toward a little voter fatigue,
01:00I think, with Ohtani a little bit. And I think that's the reason why he's not going to win
01:03the MVP. To me, when you have a guy like Ohtani that pitched, and again, he may not pitch anymore,
01:09but he pitched half the season. You know, Pete Crow Armstrong, great player, but Ohtani,
01:15pitching and hitting. I've said this once and I'll say it a million times. Years ago, Joe,
01:19if I told you there was going to be a pitcher and a hitter in Major League Baseball,
01:23and he was going to be very good at both, he would say, sign me up for that guy is
01:26winning
01:27the MVP every year until he retires. And I'm still in that boat, Joe. It's not like Ohtani
01:33only pitched in five games this year, you know, or six. Like, that's not the case if he pitched
01:39a half a season. So, PCA, I mean, honestly, Joe, if PCA is the favorite now and Ohtani doesn't
01:47pitch, PCA is probably going to win the MVP this year, right? I mean, that's where we're headed.
01:52I don't agree with it, but that's where we're at.
01:56Yeah. Three for five with two home runs today probably helps the odds a little bit as people
02:03running and looking to bat Pete Crow Armstrong. He is a big reason they're up seven to four here
02:09in the top of the eighth inning. Lauer finally looks like he might lose a game,
02:16Craig, after the life of me. Oh, my word. Of course, I didn't bat him today, but cracks me up.
