00:00Who is going, I saw this in the predictive markets the other day, and it was funny, you
00:05and I made the comment the other day about, well, the Mets are just, of course, they're
00:09sellers because they got the worst record in baseball.
00:11They actually don't, but it is going to be a race to the bottom, Craig, because you got
00:17the Angels with 43 wins, Kansas City has 47, the Mets have 48, and the Rockies have 45.
00:25So which one of those teams ends up with the fewest wins?
00:30You missed one.
00:31I don't think it's Colorado.
00:32I really don't.
00:33You missed one.
00:34I think you missed one.
00:36Oh, what did I bet?
00:37The Mets?
00:37No.
00:38Who did I say?
00:39Washington?
00:39No.
00:39Washington's got 50.
00:40Oh, I'm sorry.
00:41The Athletics.
00:42You're right.
00:43There you go.
00:44Is it the Athletics?
00:46I think so.
00:47Yeah.
00:47I think so.
00:49To me, the A's are the worst team in baseball.
00:52Yeah.
00:52To me, the A's are the worst team in baseball.
00:54Yeah.
00:55They're playing the worst in baseball.
00:57Young.
00:58They're what?
00:59One and nine.
01:00Their last 10.
01:02They've lost, what?
01:03Six straight.
01:04It is nothing good at all.
01:07Joe, they had a winning record in May.
01:10They're now 45 and 68.
01:14And they had a winning record in the second month of the season.
01:19Like, not the first week.
01:20The second month.
01:21They've been the worst team in baseball for about three months.
01:26So, yeah.
01:28To me, I think that's it.
01:31I think you're looking at them having the worst record overall.
01:35And look, you know, not having Nick Kurtz.
01:39I mean, look.
01:39Take Jordan Alvarez off Houston.
01:41Houston's better than the A's.
01:42But Nick Kurtz is like, he leads off of them.
01:45You know, he's sort of everything for them.
01:47Well, they lost the catcher, too, right?
01:49They lost Langoliers.
01:50Oh, that's right.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Yeah, Langoliers.
01:52They did have some, yeah.
01:54Wilson missed some time at short.
01:56So, they got a nice nucleus of guys.
02:00But they were playing really well.
02:02Then everyone started to get hurt.
02:03And then that was the end of that.
02:06And they're down to their final out, by the way.
02:09The other thing, too, that they have to factor in and we have to factor in is that they can
02:15hold water in that park, Joe, maybe for a couple of months.
02:18Yes.
02:18But eventually, all the pitchers are going to get taxed because they have to go to them over and over
02:23and over again.
02:23So, we're seeing a Colorado situation happen all over again.
02:27It's not sustainable in that park.
02:29And it's something to remember.
02:30You're right.
02:30They do have a good nucleus, Joe.
02:32But for next year, when the A's get off to a good start, let's just be reminded that they're going
02:37to fall flat with that pitching no matter who they have at the end.
02:41Yeah, I think their win total this year was 70-plus games, too.
02:46My goodness.
