And you're not going to say, well, you know, you were just talking about the Phillies at 8-13 and the Blue Jays at 8-13 as being these terrible starts.

But for the Rockies, 9-13, that's miraculous.

I mean, if you think about it, a year ago, when they were among the worst teams that baseball history has ever seen, they didn't get their ninth victory of the year until May 23rd.

We're talking about five weeks from now is when they would have gotten their ninth victory of the year.

They were 9-42.

So when you look at them at 9-13, you're like, well, they're only 30 games ahead of pace from last year.

So I'm not saying they're going to make the playoffs.

They're not going to make the playoffs.

But I think Paul DePodesta, who used to work in baseball under Billy Bean, came back after 10 years working for the Cleveland Browns to take over the Rockies.

He's working things in the right direction in Colorado, and it's nice to see a team that's not sitting here at 1-21.

Well, he certainly seems fully healthy.

I believe he's played at every game that the Angels have played this year, and he's

scoring a run a game.

He's got seven home runs already.

He's got an OPS almost of a thousand, which is what we were used to seeing from him during his heyday MVP, you know, eight, nine, 10 win seasons.

The question with Mike Trout always is, and will be, can he stay healthy?

If he can, there's no reason to think he's not going to be an all-star again.

And potentially in the, in the MVP conversation, if he's able to put up Mike Trout numbers again,

I don't think he's going anywhere.

He has never shown any interest in leaving Anaheim.
