Speaker 2: and myself Joel Rico are back here on this Monday
Speaker 2: leading Off. We're supposed to have well Sean, but that's
Speaker 2: what happens this time of year when football gets crazy.
Speaker 2: Welch is famous now he's got to do the football shows.
Speaker 2: But that's why Bubba and myself are here to take
Speaker 2: you through everything that's going on. Talk about the latest news,
Speaker 2: talk some injury updates, bets, home run calls, all that
Speaker 2: great stuff.
Speaker 1: Bubba, how are you doing on this fine Monday.
Speaker 3: I'm doing great. It's always a pleasure as usual talking
Speaker 3: baseball with you and keep going. With three weeks left
Speaker 3: in the baseball seasons, so know who's counting. But as
Speaker 3: we're rolling here, that other game takes place and takes
Speaker 3: everybody's attention away. We still get cracking here for a
Speaker 3: daily baseball for us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're down to the final I guess
Speaker 2: there's three weeks left, three shows a week. We're down
Speaker 2: to the final nine leading offs of the season. So
Speaker 2: make sure you guys are subscribed to the show, whether
Speaker 2: it is on the podcast side or.
Speaker 1: The YouTube side.
Speaker 2: Would really appreciate any help you guys can give us
Speaker 2: here as football starts to take over, but we are
Speaker 2: still gonna be having baseball content come at you throughout
Speaker 2: the offseason, so make sure you guys are signed up
Speaker 2: for everything, podcast, YouTube and all that great stuff. We
Speaker 2: are gonna start with the headlines and we're gonna keep
Speaker 2: it the way we usually do here, but we're gonna
Speaker 2: start off with some rather tough news, and it's justin
Speaker 2: Verlander just getting destroyed again. Eight earned runs over three
Speaker 2: innings against the Diamondbacks, a couple of home runs, he
Speaker 2: allowed eight hits, did not record a strikeout. What we've
Speaker 2: seen from him in fourteen games this season has been awful.
Speaker 2: A five thirty ERA, a one thirty eight whip, the
Speaker 2: worst strikeout and walk rates that he's had in ten years.
Speaker 2: Is Verlander finished?
Speaker 1: Bubba?
Speaker 2: Is there any hope that he can kind of come
Speaker 2: back and give us any old Verlander type of performances
Speaker 2: or is it just kinda he's going to go out
Speaker 2: the back door and this is kind of how his career.
Speaker 1: Is going to end.
Speaker 3: I think this is kind of where we're headed. He
Speaker 3: might get a start here and there, but velocity is
Speaker 3: not what it once was, doesn't go deep into games.
Speaker 3: We saw this last year before he got hurt. Things
Speaker 3: are slowing down. He's still was serviceable, still could get
Speaker 3: strikeouts from time to time, but he's now a pitcher,
Speaker 3: not a thrower, like and he still was a picture before,
Speaker 3: but you know what I mean, when you're still pumping
Speaker 3: high nineties and the seventh or eighth in and that's
Speaker 3: a thrower a lot of the time. But Vernon is
Speaker 3: just getting old. Father Time is undefeated in these situations,
Speaker 3: and it's a shame because he is one of the
Speaker 3: best pictures of most of our generations. Like he's very,
Speaker 3: very good, and he's up there in the probably i'll
Speaker 3: say top ten, potentially top five, depend on who you are,
Speaker 3: but I think this is about the end of it.
Speaker 3: I wanted nothing to do with him when he's coming
Speaker 3: off the IL. I rooted for him, but it's like
Speaker 3: I'm going to pass on this one and I see
Speaker 3: where it goes. I'm quietly, sadly not surprised by what's
Speaker 3: taking place. Not that I think Peven Smith was going
Speaker 3: to be the guy that put him to his grave, No,
Speaker 3: but I thought something like this could happen.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, Pavid Smith will want much of him later,
Speaker 2: just like one of the games of the season for anybody.
Speaker 2: But Verlander, I don't know what to expect from him
Speaker 2: going forward because he's gonna be forty two years old
Speaker 2: by the start of next season.
Speaker 1: He is as older.
Speaker 3: Than he's older than me. That's just a lot of people.
Speaker 1: That is pretty old. I'm just playing with you.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if we can really trust him
Speaker 2: going to his age forty two season. He is a
Speaker 2: player option. I feel like he's going to pick that
Speaker 2: up because I don't know what kind of deal he's
Speaker 2: going to get on the market. But I can't really
Speaker 2: see myself drafting Verlander unless we're talking about if he
Speaker 2: falls to like the last round and then you say, Okay,
Speaker 2: maybe I'll take a chance on him here, But just
Speaker 2: that name value alone, I feel like he won't fall
Speaker 2: as far as he should given the performances we've seen.
Speaker 2: Any chance you have any interest in Verlander at a
Speaker 2: given price next year or.
Speaker 1: Just a full fade.
Speaker 3: I'm just a full fade, like he'd have to be
Speaker 3: post too fifty, like one of your last round picks,
Speaker 3: essentially to keep interest from me. So I'm pretty positive
Speaker 3: I'll be out on the Verlanders show.
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the end.
Speaker 2: And of course, like you mentioned, he's one of the
Speaker 2: best pitchers of the generation.
Speaker 1: He's going to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Its just it's sad to see it kind of go
Speaker 2: out like this. I always figured he would end with
Speaker 2: like a two to seven era and come third and
Speaker 2: sy Young like a David Ortiz type of sendoff a year.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I figured that would be what
Speaker 2: would happen for Verlander, but it doesn't look like we're
Speaker 2: going to get that. He's kind of just stuck around
Speaker 2: for a little bit too long at this point. Forty
Speaker 2: two is just you're pushing it if you're still trying
Speaker 2: to be a major league player at forty two. Jamie Moyer,
Speaker 2: he's not coming back through that door anytime soon. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about Julio Rodriguez six hits over the weekend in
Speaker 2: Saint Louis. He's seventeen for his last fifty four over
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. That's a three to fifteen
Speaker 2: batting average, three home runs, three stolen bases. It obviously
Speaker 2: hasn't been great. It's been a pretty miserable season as
Speaker 2: a whole for Julio, and yet he's like a top
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty player overall. So I've really been
Speaker 2: struggling because as the season goes on, we start to
Speaker 2: think about next year's draft targets, and you know, there's
Speaker 2: been some early drafts that we've broken down already.
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a.
Speaker 2: Chance Julio gets himself back into the first round, Like
Speaker 2: there's a chance he goes twenty two? Funny, in a
Speaker 2: miserable season, we know that he can go thirty thirty,
Speaker 2: if not forty forty. So any chance that Julio gets
Speaker 2: into the top fifteen.
Speaker 3: Next year, Uh, yeah, wouldn't shocked me. He went thirteenth
Speaker 3: in our two early DC we did a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks back, so there's still a lot of love for him.
Speaker 3: Never hurts to have a strong finish to the season
Speaker 3: to get people excited. Now, the back end of that
Speaker 3: draft is loaded between the end of the first round
Speaker 3: early second round. I think there's a lot of moving
Speaker 3: pieces there that'll change from draft to draft, but a
Speaker 3: strong finish from Julio will remind people of how talented
Speaker 3: he really is. I think he might have been hurt
Speaker 3: quite a bit this season, more than let on because
Speaker 3: he you know, he had the little il stint and
Speaker 3: everything came back quicker than most expected, so on and
Speaker 3: so forth. You know, maybe he's healthy, maybe he's not.
Speaker 3: But the finish is strong, so I think he'll find
Speaker 3: his way back into the first round.
Speaker 2: The power hasn't really I mean, fourteen home runs the
Speaker 2: whole season, but a part of I think the struggle
Speaker 2: in terms of the overall stat line has also been
Speaker 2: just how bad the team has been around him. Forty
Speaker 2: nine REBI, sixty runs scored. Yes, part of that is
Speaker 2: on Julio, but the Mariners have been historically bad and
Speaker 2: that definitely has not helped things out. I feel like,
Speaker 2: if he's still sitting there at the beginning of the
Speaker 2: second round, if I con pair him with like a Tattis,
Speaker 2: a Carrol, maybe a Tucker, I feel like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: do it. I just don't know if I really want
Speaker 2: to take that chance of letting him slip by, because
Speaker 2: we know that he's capable of giving you a top
Speaker 2: five season, and slowly but surely he is kind of
Speaker 2: getting back that we have seen old Julio at times
Speaker 2: this year. But yeah, fourteen homers, twenty one steals, two
Speaker 2: sixty two. I wouldn't fault anybody for not wanting to
Speaker 2: take him in the first round, but we're kind of
Speaker 2: getting back to there, especially if he finishes really hot.
Speaker 2: I could see him getting there on a consistent basis.
Speaker 2: Let's talk Jack Flaherty dominant outing, which has kind of become.
Speaker 1: What we've been used to this season.
Speaker 2: Seven and the third shutout ball with six strikeouts against
Speaker 2: the Guardians Eloud, just four hits for the season as
Speaker 2: a whole. I mean, Jack Flarerty has done some amazing things,
Speaker 2: and I want to shout out your co host Ryan Bloomfield,
Speaker 2: who was one of the people I heard speaking loudest
Speaker 2: about Jack Flarerty in the preseason. A two eighty six
Speaker 2: c ra a one zero one whip. He is second
Speaker 2: among all qualified starters in strike up minus walk rate
Speaker 2: it's second in Sierra. I don't know what to do
Speaker 2: with him for next season though, because we've seen two
Speaker 2: good years from Flarity out of like seven. Are you
Speaker 2: gonna trust him heading in the next year, because I
Speaker 2: think at this point, like obviously somebody I trust implicitly
Speaker 2: this season, but once the year changes over, you never
Speaker 2: really know what's gonna happen. If they're a six month layoff.
Speaker 2: Is Flerity somebody that can be trusted as an SP
Speaker 2: one or an SP two next season?
Speaker 3: You think? I think as an SP two potentially. I'm
Speaker 3: terrified of SP one with him. He's got quite the
Speaker 3: injury history, like there's no denying that, and even the
Speaker 3: back was an issue off and on this season, so
Speaker 3: there are some of those lingering concerns. We've seen him
Speaker 3: pitch really well before when he's been healthy with the Cardinals.
Speaker 3: We've also seen the opposite side of that spectrum, which
Speaker 3: we could probably get at any moment. So and the
Speaker 3: free agent where's he gonna land? That's a big piece
Speaker 3: of the puzzle as well. I think you could draft
Speaker 3: him as an SP two, like in a perfect roll,
Speaker 3: I'd like SP three. He won't be there as an
Speaker 3: SP three. He'll be gone before that. So if you're
Speaker 3: a even what he's doing, which this is who he
Speaker 3: can be. If he stays healthy, there's no denying that,
Speaker 3: then he is worthy of an SP two. It's just
Speaker 3: there is a lot of risk with one of your
Speaker 3: top end fantasy pitchers if you take the chance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, location is gonna be big. If he goes back
Speaker 2: to the Dodgers, that'll obviously be probably the best case.
Speaker 3: I'd hate it. I'd hate it, so yeah, go for it.
Speaker 1: That was a Giants fan.
Speaker 2: If you guys, we're aware, but that statement probably does
Speaker 2: make you aware of it. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 2: gonna want to, Like I've been a huge fan of his,
Speaker 2: but I don't know if I really want to touch
Speaker 2: him where he's probably gonna be going, which is top fifty,
Speaker 2: top seventy five picks overall. Probably, I just it makes
Speaker 2: me nervous, it really does. I feel like I'm probably
Speaker 2: gonna do it once or twice. Because we are volume players,
Speaker 2: Bubba and I, we're gonna probably do how many teams
Speaker 2: you have this year twenty or so, fifteen.
Speaker 3: Twenty, it's like twenty's gonna go with that To keep
Speaker 3: his seat twentieth.
Speaker 1: So we'll have one or two shares maybe, but.
Speaker 3: Oh I will have some flairity, Yes you are, yeah,
Speaker 3: I will.
Speaker 1: Just investing consistently.
Speaker 2: As an SP one SP two, You're gonna need some
Speaker 2: security around him. You're gonna need a Logan web but
Speaker 2: George Kirby or somebody who can really eat a lot
Speaker 2: of innings, And that's a pretty sure thing if you
Speaker 2: are going to take that chance pretty early on Flarty.
Speaker 2: Moving on to Michael Waka, who I mean, this is
Speaker 2: the third straight year, but but where he's been really,
Speaker 2: really good. It was seven innings of shutout Paul yesterday.
Speaker 2: Not a cupcake matchup either. Against the Twins. He struck
Speaker 2: out seven, allowed just four hits, three point thirty four
Speaker 2: ERA one eighteen whip. Considering where people drafted him, he's
Speaker 2: a huge, huge.
Speaker 1: Win this season.
Speaker 2: Is he somebody now that like, after three straight years
Speaker 2: of roughly a three and a half ERA, can we
Speaker 2: say that Waka's trustable as like an SP three and
Speaker 2: SP four. The numbers below the surface are not great.
Speaker 2: That's why I kind of questioned it. The strikeouts aren't amazing,
Speaker 2: The eer estimators leave something to be desired. How much
Speaker 2: do you trust Michael Waka going forward?
Speaker 3: I trust him quite a bit. Talked about him on
Speaker 3: the First Pitch Pod last night that this start was amazing.
Speaker 3: It's just the consistency he brings. You mentioned three straight years.
Speaker 3: I thought the dude was like Adam Wayne Wright's age.
Speaker 3: He's thirty three years old. He's not even that old yet. Like,
Speaker 3: there's a lot to be had with Waka. And one
Speaker 3: thing I found very very impressive to me, just to
Speaker 3: give the big example of his consistency of late, he
Speaker 3: has allowed three year in runs or less in nineteen
Speaker 3: of his last twenty starts. That is like something you
Speaker 3: can just trust. Now it's ninety nine k's and one
Speaker 3: hundred and thirteen and eight and so yeah, it's still
Speaker 3: not bad. That's not bad, but it's not like the
Speaker 3: k Perandian type guys are better that you want. At
Speaker 3: the same time, man, if you could if your first
Speaker 3: two pitchers are just like Wheeler and like Cease or
Speaker 3: something that strikes out everybody, and then you bring this
Speaker 3: this ratio machine behind you that's actually getting wins also
Speaker 3: because he's pitching deep into games like and I could
Speaker 3: have probably gone farther there's probably like twenty seven or
Speaker 3: like twenty nine starts or something, but nineteen of his
Speaker 3: last twenty three year rounds or less. That is a
Speaker 3: model of consistency that should not be ignored. And I
Speaker 3: just want to give him his props, and I'm glad
Speaker 3: he's on the outline today because a lot of us
Speaker 3: I think, just look at him, go it's walk he's boring,
Speaker 3: which he is. He's very boring, there's no denying that.
Speaker 3: But when it comes to fantasy, boring can be beautiful,
Speaker 3: and this is very beautiful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes we get caught up in the hot new
Speaker 2: toy always. You know, I gotta take this guy in
Speaker 2: the second round, and he's gonna win my.
Speaker 1: League or whatever.
Speaker 2: A lot of us it is those boring players, you know,
Speaker 2: Seth Lugo and another guy who was a boring guy
Speaker 2: coming of the year. He's gonna win a lot of
Speaker 2: leagues just because of you know, that late price really
Speaker 2: returning great value. And it's the same thing with Waka.
Speaker 2: It's not always the guys that get pushed up that
Speaker 2: win your leagues, right. Sometimes it's a lot of the
Speaker 2: time it's those guys going between one hundred and pick
Speaker 2: two hundred or so even later that can really return
Speaker 2: this crazy value like Waka hasn't. I feel like going
Speaker 2: in the next year, he'll kind of be a fade again.
Speaker 2: People are gonna just do what I did. You say, Okay,
Speaker 2: the strikeouts aren't great. You know, the ex fips and
Speaker 2: seers of the world are all right, but they're not amazing.
Speaker 2: And he might be somebody where you can get him
Speaker 2: at a bit of a discount and, like Bubba said,
Speaker 2: pretty safe in terms of the ratios if you've got
Speaker 2: your strikeouts squared away. Speaking of strikeout squared away, let's
Speaker 2: talk to Edward Cabrera. Seven innings against the Phillies yesterday,
Speaker 2: six strikeouts. I don't know what to make of Edward
Speaker 2: Cabrera as usual, because we see starts like this against
Speaker 2: a team like the Phillies, but we also see hot
Speaker 2: garbage from him a lot of the time, and the
Speaker 2: inconsistency is really what makes him almost impossible to use.
Speaker 2: I've always been a big fan of Verrier Cabrera. There's
Speaker 2: been some positive signs this season, but is there any
Speaker 2: way we can trust him at this point? I feel
Speaker 2: like I want to see that command get a lot better.
Speaker 2: But what are your thoughts on Edwarg Cabrera going forward, Bubba.
Speaker 3: This is the problem with him is the talent is undeniable,
Speaker 3: the consistency is not the command is not. Well. What
Speaker 3: we saw on this start was it one walk, two
Speaker 3: walks something like that over seven innings. The last four
Speaker 3: starts has been three and runs or less for Edrick
Speaker 3: Cabrera with like twenty k's over twenty three innings, but
Speaker 3: eight walks. So pick your poison there. But we have
Speaker 3: seen signs of life of late. It's one of those guys.
Speaker 3: It's worth gambling on late in drafts if you want
Speaker 3: to streams or like. He always looks to be a
Speaker 3: good stream. But the headache is there because the the
Speaker 3: you know, the opposite side can take place, as we've seen,
Speaker 3: but the talent's on the niabil And so when we
Speaker 3: see this kind of stuff, it reels you back in
Speaker 3: every time. I'll still be interested, I'll have a few shares,
Speaker 3: but it's just one of those things like because if
Speaker 3: he ever figures it out command wise, dude's gonna be ridiculous.
Speaker 3: It's just we haven't seen that yet.
Speaker 2: He could have like a Dylan Seas type of curve
Speaker 2: potentially where you see these thirty and ten guys thirty
Speaker 2: percent strikeout rate, ten percent walk grade or the talent's
Speaker 2: there and it's just a matter of figuring out that command.
Speaker 2: And I feel like he could reach those kind of
Speaker 2: Dylancy's levels if you had a seven or eight percent
Speaker 2: walk grade. But that's asking a lot at this point
Speaker 2: in time.
Speaker 1: Still going to be interested.
Speaker 2: I'll always be interested in Edward Cabrera because he's just
Speaker 2: one of those guys for me.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Tyler McGill. I just I don't
Speaker 1: know why.
Speaker 2: There's something about them, certain pitchers that you just kind
Speaker 2: of get interested in.
Speaker 1: He's one of them for me.
Speaker 2: But the inconsistency is still a problem at this point.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about a couple hitters starting in my neck
Speaker 2: of the woods in Toronto. Spencer Horwoods had a hell
Speaker 2: of a weekend. It went six for seven with three homers,
Speaker 2: four runs scored, and five ribbies. Been the top seventy
Speaker 2: five player over the last month, hitting two seventy eighteen
Speaker 2: runs and fourteen RBIs with seven homers. I've really become
Speaker 2: more interested in Spencer Horwitz. I didn't think there was
Speaker 2: all that much there really earlier on. But he gets
Speaker 2: the ball very hard. You know, he's playing most of
Speaker 2: the time. He's usually in the third to fifth spot
Speaker 2: in the Blue Jays order. What's your interest levels of
Speaker 2: season and also heading into next year. Is Horward's gonna
Speaker 2: be somebody that you're targeting as a as a middle
Speaker 2: corner infield guy.
Speaker 3: I'm very interested. I know I in DC's I took
Speaker 3: some weight shares of him because we saw the bat
Speaker 3: skills were great. It's just a million dollar question of
Speaker 3: where's he gonna play. I think it is util only
Speaker 3: also and to start the season in NBC. But he's
Speaker 3: getting the playing time. It's looking good. You're the JAS guys.
Speaker 3: That's something that we can expect next year. If that's
Speaker 3: the case, I'm interested as a late round pick at least.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to target him as like my starting
Speaker 3: first baseman. But he's got corner infield viability. He's a
Speaker 3: good bench bat. I just don't know what the playing
Speaker 3: time looks.
Speaker 1: Like for sure for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: I don't know that any spot on the roster outside
Speaker 2: of first base with lot is really guaranteed to anybody
Speaker 2: next year.
Speaker 1: If our show is going to be around. Kirk's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be around.
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of playing time, though, and
Speaker 2: considering what Horwitz is done, he can play second, he
Speaker 2: can play first. I mean, he has pretty good play
Speaker 2: skills ten percent walk right, seventeen on the strikeout rate.
Speaker 2: He hits the ball pretty hard. I think he's gonna
Speaker 2: be around. I think he's gonna be somebody that does
Speaker 2: have some interest. Plus, after half a season is one
Speaker 2: thirty five, it's a lot better than you'd probably expect.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some interest here.
Speaker 2: You also have to acknowledge that the Blue Jays lineup
Speaker 2: is going to probably be a bit of a dumpster
Speaker 2: fire next season, so counting stat's gonna be a little
Speaker 2: bit tricky. I don't expect many stolen bases, but just
Speaker 2: as a corner to middle infield option that pick two
Speaker 2: fifty or so in the draft, like, he's gonna be
Speaker 2: pretty interesting if he even gets that far, because his
Speaker 2: recent stretch might push him up a little bit.
Speaker 1: One more guy to.
Speaker 2: Talk about here in the headlines, and that's Cedric Mullins.
Speaker 2: He had a home run over the weekend against the
Speaker 2: Rays and it's kind of snuck up on me that
Speaker 2: he's turned the season around over the last month, hitting
Speaker 2: three to zero two with three homers and seven stolen bases.
Speaker 2: As a whole, it's been pretty inconsistent, and I do
Speaker 2: feel like eventually he'll be pushed out of playing time,
Speaker 2: just based on all the youngsters they got to fit
Speaker 2: into the lineup there. But it hasn't been a terrible
Speaker 2: season for Mullins fifteen homers, twenty six stolen bases, only
Speaker 2: hitting two thirty four, But generally speaking, it hasn't been
Speaker 2: a terrible year for him. It's been a better year
Speaker 2: than last year. What are your thoughts heading in the
Speaker 2: next season? Is he going to have a starting, everyday
Speaker 2: role in Baltimore? Are we reaching the point where he
Speaker 2: might get pushed out? Are you gonna have any interest
Speaker 2: in drafting him?
Speaker 3: Essentially, I'll probably be out unless he drops quite a
Speaker 3: bit because he was already platuning this year. Feels like
Speaker 3: he's been the odd man out at times, but now
Speaker 3: and then he starts producing again, gets some more reps
Speaker 3: than his struggles, and gets kind of pushed away again.
Speaker 3: I feel like there are enough options in that Oriole
Speaker 3: system to move Cedric out of the way. That's kind
Speaker 3: of where I'd be leaning at this point in time.
Speaker 3: So I'd be out on Cedric for now. Unless we
Speaker 3: get some new news that all of a sudden they've
Speaker 3: regained love with Cedric Mullins and he's back back in
Speaker 3: action for him.
Speaker 2: Maybe that price falls pretty far. Maybe we'd hear he's
Speaker 2: getting a regular role. But yeah, I feel like at
Speaker 2: this point the bloom is off the rose. He's not
Speaker 2: the thirty thirty guy he was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: He could still have some value, but it would have
Speaker 2: to come at a pretty discounted price, Like if he's
Speaker 2: in the top one hundred and fifty picks or so,
Speaker 2: I couldn't do it for talking about like pick two
Speaker 2: hundred or something like that. I could probably be talked
Speaker 2: into it. Let's talk about a couple of rookies in
Speaker 2: the rookie lookie section here. Trey Sweeney, who was one
Speaker 2: of the pieces acquired for Jack Flaherty at the deadline.
Speaker 2: Big Game four for four with a combo meal, a
Speaker 2: couple of runs, couple of ribbies hasn't been so so great, Bubba,
Speaker 2: Is there any interest here for deeper leagues down the
Speaker 2: stretch for Trey Sweeney or is something you want to
Speaker 2: just wait for next year.
Speaker 3: On I'm probably waiting un till next year. I've brought
Speaker 3: him up in fab from time to time in deep leagues,
Speaker 3: like you're saying, there are a lot of middle infield
Speaker 3: options that have popped up over the last month or
Speaker 3: so that kind of, you know, go over the top
Speaker 3: of Sweeney. But the skills are there. Hit a couple
Speaker 3: of home runs over the last week, so that's good
Speaker 3: to see, but the consistency, like you mentioned, has not
Speaker 3: been there. So I'm probably more excited about Sweeney for
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, But depending on your format, he is
Speaker 3: going to be viable most likely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so as well. I kind of undersold
Speaker 2: the Tigers return there. I just think I compared it
Speaker 2: directly with like the Kakuchi package, and it didn't seem
Speaker 2: like they really got enough back considering how good Flairty
Speaker 2: had been. But it looks like they could have a
Speaker 2: couple of decent pieces here, with Sweeney being among them.
Speaker 2: Connor Norby's another guy I want to talk about in
Speaker 2: the rookie Lokie. I think he's been more valuable over
Speaker 2: about twenty games than Trevor Rodgers was for the entire season.
Speaker 2: He had three home runs drove in sevengainst the Phillies
Speaker 2: over the weekend. As a Marlin, he has one thousand,
Speaker 2: forty three ops six home runs in eighteen games. There
Speaker 2: are some numbers, however, below the surface that aren't really
Speaker 2: that great. Average hes of velocity eighty six miles an hour,
Speaker 2: thirty eight percent hard hit rate. He's striking out thirty
Speaker 2: percent of the time, but he's got a fourteen percent
Speaker 2: barrel rate. There are things that I like, but it's
Speaker 2: kind of a mixed package in terms of the analysis
Speaker 2: because it's a bad park, it's a bad team. But
Speaker 2: he's looked really, really good. What's your interest level in
Speaker 2: Connor Norby here for the final three weeks and also
Speaker 2: again to kind of keep the theme going and you're
Speaker 2: gonna have any interest heading into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: For the final three weeks. I want him everywhere I can.
Speaker 3: Very excited about what we're seeing from him. Young player
Speaker 3: getting some run and he seems to get better. Even
Speaker 3: had a slump at one point and we've seen a
Speaker 3: breakout of that. He's got a seven game hitting streak
Speaker 3: starting off Monday here, So that's pretty promising. So I
Speaker 3: am loving that, and in twenty twenty five I want
Speaker 3: him a lot. You know you're gonna join me later
Speaker 3: today on bench with Bubba to kind of talk about
Speaker 3: the early twenty twenty five draft, and Norby wasn't picked ours.
Speaker 3: Actually thinking over the weekend seeing his stat line that
Speaker 3: I'm like, Norby might be one of my top options
Speaker 3: coming back in the twelfth round and we kick things
Speaker 3: off because I need a second basement, and the fact
Speaker 3: he'll be second base third base, well next year he
Speaker 3: might be third base only in NBC. Let's keep in
Speaker 3: mind in that, but for the rest of the season
Speaker 3: here second base, third base. I love Connor Norby, and
Speaker 3: this is the guy I'm very excited about going to
Speaker 3: the next season.
Speaker 2: Something else to keep in mind is that for this
Speaker 2: week they're facing a bunch of lefties and he destroys
Speaker 2: left handed pitching. So if you're looking even for just
Speaker 2: a short term hitting stream, Connor Norby is one of
Speaker 2: the top options that you can find still available in
Speaker 2: a lot of leagues too. Just taking a look at Yahoo,
Speaker 2: Norby is on what are we.
Speaker 1: Talking about here?
Speaker 2: Fifty six percent a roster, so bit of a toss up,
Speaker 2: but you'll probably probably confined him if it's a bit
Speaker 2: of a shallower format, and I think he is worth
Speaker 2: starting in a lot of cases. Let's go to the
Speaker 2: three up and three down. Pevin Smith we mentioned earlier
Speaker 2: one of the games of the season, three home runs,
Speaker 2: eight driven in. If you played him in DFS, or
Speaker 2: if you happen to say, okay, let's just stream Paven
Speaker 2: Smith today, what's the worst that can happen? You did
Speaker 2: very well for yourself. A funny thing that I also
Speaker 2: learned yesterday just going through fangrafts. Of anybody who has
Speaker 2: thrown a pitch this year, Peven Smith has the best stuff.
Speaker 2: Plus at two h six it's because of the obscure
Speaker 2: nature of the delivery or something. I'm sure it was
Speaker 2: one inning, but yeah, the two way player coming out
Speaker 2: of nowhere is Peven Smith out there in Arizona, stinking
Speaker 2: in Arizona. Janio Suarez four for five with a home run,
Speaker 2: four run scored, a couple driven in. He's been incredible,
Speaker 2: Like he has gotten to the point where he's like
Speaker 2: a top ninety or eighty player overall for the season.
Speaker 2: After he did essentially nothing for the first half. He's
Speaker 2: just been on fire. And then Jared Jones seven innings
Speaker 2: of two run ball with nine strikeouts against Washington. He
Speaker 2: looked very very good yesterday, Bubba. Among this group, Peven Smith, Suarez,
Speaker 2: Jared Jones. Any major thoughts rest of season here on
Speaker 2: this group.
Speaker 3: It's Aojuno Swarz for me, like I had him dead
Speaker 3: to rise. I know I was on a loan at
Speaker 3: one point. I'm like Jordan Lawler is about to get
Speaker 3: called up Cannae dfaid, he's been that bad. And then
Speaker 3: Lawler gets hurt yet again, and then Aohanio finds the
Speaker 3: fountain of youth and we thought, okay, it's a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks. It hasn't stopped. Like the dude just mashing everywhere.
Speaker 3: And I'm very thankful I grabbed a couple of shares
Speaker 3: when I could, because it's been beautiful thing to see.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I wish I did, I wish I did. He has
Speaker 2: been I mean, the term league winner is thrown around
Speaker 2: a lot. But if you saw Suarez sitting on your
Speaker 2: waiver wire and you picked him up right when this
Speaker 2: was getting going, there's a good chance you're looking pretty good.
Speaker 2: Right now, and you're still listening to the show because
Speaker 2: you are still in the hunt. I'm going to the
Speaker 2: three down Caden Dana Angels, rookie pitcher, not good stuff,
Speaker 2: five earned runs and seven hits over one inning, Miles Michaelis.
Speaker 2: If you thought about streaming him in against the weak
Speaker 2: Seattle Mariners, your season could be over because of it.
Speaker 2: Two innings, six run ball with nine hits aloud. He
Speaker 2: did strike out three for all the good it did you,
Speaker 2: but not good stuff for Michaelis. And then finally Noelvi
Speaker 2: Marte over four with three strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Buba.
Speaker 2: I don't know what to make of Neelvi Marte, but
Speaker 2: coming off the ped suspension, he's hitting a buck ninety nine,
Speaker 2: four homer, six tolen bases. Are we He's starting to
Speaker 2: think that maybe there was some impact of the peds
Speaker 2: that now he's feeling without it. I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: want to read too much into it, because he was
Speaker 2: such a great prospect from such a young age. I
Speaker 2: don't think that he was juicing in high school necessarily,
Speaker 2: But what's the impact there and what does it mean
Speaker 2: towards your future evaluation of Marte?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not as shiny of a toy as
Speaker 2: he would have been about a year ago. But are
Speaker 2: we out on him at this point?
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be a very intriguing value
Speaker 3: next season because I think a lot of people are
Speaker 3: going to be out on him. I'm going to kind
Speaker 3: of chalk this one up to a lost season between
Speaker 3: the suspension and everything else. He's young. I don't think
Speaker 3: the talent just disappeared.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Could it have been steroid involved potentially, Like that's definitely
Speaker 3: an option. But I still think he's a pretty darn
Speaker 3: good ball player. So I think I'm willing to chalk
Speaker 3: this one up to it just a lot going on
Speaker 3: in a young man's head for this season and take
Speaker 3: the value of it in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I think you're probably right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the price is going to be so cheap, especially
Speaker 2: in the casual home league's ESPN YABU leagues. He might
Speaker 2: not get drafted a lot of the time last couples.
Speaker 2: I don't mind taking a chance on him in that ballpark,
Speaker 2: a year older, et cetera, et cetera. The things could
Speaker 2: turn around for him, But man, has it been ugly
Speaker 2: rest of season? Is there any need to roster gonna
Speaker 2: you think.
Speaker 3: No, No, I dropped him in a lot of places already,
Speaker 3: so I think I think you can wait for twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five when it comes to Newell of you more two.
Speaker 1: That's totally fair.
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the injury updates. Finally, finally, Kyle
Speaker 2: Tucker made his return to the Astros lineup after three
Speaker 2: months plus being out. I think it was I think
Speaker 2: it ended up being more than three months. It was
Speaker 2: like one hundred plus days he missed. He was daching
Speaker 2: both games over the weekend. Not much to do here
Speaker 2: other than put him back into your lineups and hope
Speaker 2: that he can kind of make up for lost time.
Speaker 2: Not gonna happen all the way, but hopefully he can
Speaker 2: hit a few home runs and steal a few bases
Speaker 2: down the stretch for you. Luis Castillo had to leave
Speaker 2: his start early on Sunday due to a hamstring injury.
Speaker 2: He's gonna undergo some testing today, Bubba. What's your early
Speaker 2: concern level here for Luis Castillo? Is he going into
Speaker 2: weekly lineups for you?
Speaker 3: I think he's going to the IL. That's my weekly
Speaker 3: concerned So I think it season's done, essentially, if it
Speaker 3: comes to fantasy and they're just doing the imaging to
Speaker 3: make sure that it's that kind of situation. But leaving
Speaker 3: a game hamstring pitcher. We've seen this all season long.
Speaker 3: It's at least a minimum fifteen days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and at that point, I mean fifteen days from
Speaker 2: now is the twenty fourth of September, season ends on the.
Speaker 3: Till last week in the season ninth, Yeah, it's over.
Speaker 2: May at one start. But I mean, yeah, the Mariners,
Speaker 2: I mean, they're essentially toast at this point. I don't
Speaker 2: think there's really much of a chance for them. Certainly
Speaker 2: the division. I think that is pretty much done.
Speaker 1: What is it.
Speaker 2: They're four and a half back in the wild card
Speaker 2: they're three and a half, so maybe not fully done,
Speaker 2: but this is definitely a fatal blow for them if
Speaker 2: they have to lose a steal for too long. Although
Speaker 2: pitching is a strength for them, but I don't think
Speaker 2: this is going to bow too well going forward for
Speaker 2: the Mariners to alscar Hernandez avoided a serious injury after
Speaker 2: taking Matt Boyd slider off his foot on Friday. All
Speaker 2: scans came back negative, so that is a positive. I
Speaker 2: saw a couple of questions about him in the chat
Speaker 2: looks like he's going to be okay. Maybe we get
Speaker 2: a day off or two, but avoided anything too serious.
Speaker 2: There something interesting, and we hadn't really mentioned him on
Speaker 2: this show, but Trevor Story. He came off of the
Speaker 2: IL over the weekend. He went two for seven in
Speaker 2: this first couple of games back. What's your interest level
Speaker 2: with Trevor storre you seeing him on the waiver wire?
Speaker 2: Are you picking him up?
Speaker 3: Very interested? I talked about him with bubb Or Bloom,
Speaker 3: Bubble and Bloom last week and he was playing really
Speaker 3: well in rehab. Supposed to come back Friday or Saturday
Speaker 3: and Max Saturday. It looks good. I'd be very, very
Speaker 3: intrigued to going forward the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: I wonder if we'll ever see Story get back to
Speaker 2: old Colorado Trevor Story. I kind of doubt it, but
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean he can't have value in a top
Speaker 2: five lineup in a real hitters park. Could be a
Speaker 2: really interesting piece there for you if you are looking
Speaker 2: for is he just second base eligible at this point
Speaker 2: or is he shortstop eligible? In a lot of cases,
Speaker 2: I think he just shortstop on Yahoo, but he did
Speaker 2: have second base for a while didn't.
Speaker 3: He Yeah, I think it's shortstop. Maybe I know he's
Speaker 3: playing shortstop when he came back. Right now, they've moved
Speaker 3: us Den Raphael at a second so it should be
Speaker 3: should be shortstop for sure, Maybe a little second base,
Speaker 3: depending on your formats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it was when they had Maybe it was
Speaker 2: when Bogarts was there, he had second base eligibility or
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 1: Maybe him just I'm just caught in a different year
Speaker 1: at this point.
Speaker 3: Let's shortstop. If he shortstopped only on Yaho, it' pretty
Speaker 3: much where he's going to be everywhere else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Who all you gotta do is, you know, fall over
Speaker 2: second base and they'll give you second base eligibility. Jeff
Speaker 2: McNeil is going to miss the remainder of the season.
Speaker 2: We talked about this last week, everybody getting hit by
Speaker 2: pitches and injuries coming all over the place. Jeff McNeil
Speaker 2: fractured rist, so he is done for the season. It's
Speaker 2: a shame because he'd actually really turned his year around
Speaker 2: in the second half. He's been a nice play for
Speaker 2: deeper leagues, but not looking great for him at this point. Obviously,
Speaker 2: he's he's done for the year. Gavin Stone also went
Speaker 2: on the IL. He was scratch from his start that
Speaker 2: was supposed to happen over the weekend with shoulder inflammation.
Speaker 2: Not good, Bubba. I guess Gavin Stone is probably in
Speaker 2: the same boat as Luis Castillo here, likely done for
Speaker 2: the year.
Speaker 3: Yep, you can move on from Gavin Stone. That's for
Speaker 3: darn sure.
Speaker 2: Just looking at the Dodgers IL rotation is actually insane
Speaker 2: because all the jokes are usually like, okay, you could
Speaker 2: make you can make a rotation out of who they
Speaker 2: got on the IL. You could make two rotations out
Speaker 2: of who they have on the IL glass Now, Gonsolin Kershot,
Speaker 2: May River, Ryan Emmett, Shean, Gavin Stone, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Speaker 2: are all on the injury list.
Speaker 1: I don't even know is.
Speaker 2: There anything I mean, people have talked about how the
Speaker 2: Dodgers can be a little reckless maybe or something, and
Speaker 2: they cause these pitching injuries. I haven't dug into that
Speaker 2: at all. Is there any truth to that that the
Speaker 2: Dodgers maybe caused some of these injuries or is that
Speaker 2: just nonsense?
Speaker 1: You think?
Speaker 3: I know, Yamamoto coming over from Japan, Kershaw's old glass
Speaker 3: now from Tampa. There are a lot of those guys
Speaker 3: that are from their system, though, the Stones, the Sheans,
Speaker 3: the Ryan's like, there's something there, so I don't. There's
Speaker 3: probably a little bit yes, a little bit of no.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to go full accusatory. I think the
Speaker 3: Rays are more to blame for their issues than the
Speaker 3: Dodgers aren't for theirs. But there is something to team
Speaker 3: contact with certain injuries, for sure.
Speaker 1: Something I want to dig into.
Speaker 2: But in the off season too is usage, not in
Speaker 2: game usage, but how teams prepare. I think this is
Speaker 2: like an EEno question probably, but like the behind the
Speaker 2: scenes strain that goes into pitching development our team, like
Speaker 2: in terms of how many pitches guys throwing warm ups,
Speaker 2: how many pitches they throw on off days. I feel
Speaker 2: like Eno, there's probably an article out there or something,
Speaker 2: but it's not just the end game stuff that impacts
Speaker 2: a pitcher. Obviously, that's the thing that gets the most
Speaker 2: pressed and we see it, but that's a hundred pitches.
Speaker 2: The guy's throwing tons of pitches throughout the week, and
Speaker 2: I wonder how much the actual training part of it
Speaker 2: actually impacts what.
Speaker 1: Happens to pitchers. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Again, that's probably a question for Eno or somebody a
Speaker 2: lot smarter than us, But something I want to dig
Speaker 2: into over the course of the off season a little bit,
Speaker 2: a couple of more pitchers, and then we'll move on.
Speaker 2: Max Scherzer had a great rehab outing. It was for
Speaker 2: scoreless inning, striking out eight. There was some talking with
Speaker 2: pulled with a perfect game or something like that. I
Speaker 2: saw this tweet go out, and it's like, I don't
Speaker 2: think Max Shuzer gives a crap. If he throws a
Speaker 2: perfect game in the minors, it would be a footnote
Speaker 2: on his resume at best. He could return this week
Speaker 2: for Texas. At this point, I guess Suresia's going into
Speaker 2: our lineups right when he comes back, because we don't
Speaker 2: have a lot of time. But is he though, Like,
Speaker 2: are you at all concerned about starting Scherzer in his
Speaker 2: first first time back.
Speaker 1: On the mountain.
Speaker 3: Nope. If he's good to go, I'm good to go.
Speaker 3: He could reaggravate it in one pitch. I'm not naive
Speaker 3: to that. But if he's good enough to pitch, I'm
Speaker 3: good enough to take the results he's gonna bring with it.
Speaker 3: So Scherzer will go right back in the lineup.
Speaker 2: For me, I think I agree, And the same thing
Speaker 2: can be sad about Jacob deGrom, who we mentioned last week.
Speaker 2: Looks like his season debut is coming at some point
Speaker 2: this week. The Rangers have Arizona and Seattle. I think,
Speaker 2: based on everything, we would all prefer that comes against
Speaker 2: Seattle because Arizona has been a great offense. But I mean,
Speaker 2: it's Jacob Degram, right, if he's facing the twenty seven Yankees,
Speaker 2: we're probably putting him in our lineups.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any any case where you wouldn't
Speaker 1: start Jacob Degram right.
Speaker 2: There's there's no situation where you'd want to bench him
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 3: No that you'd have to have one heck of a
Speaker 3: pitching staff to not need to start Jacob de Grom
Speaker 3: at this point in the season. So yeah, the Grom
Speaker 3: it is for me.
Speaker 2: I think there's probably unless it's like like an eight
Speaker 2: team league, like you said, you just have a loaded
Speaker 2: staff and you don't need to take the chance, then
Speaker 2: maybe don't. But I think in most cases here you're
Speaker 2: pretty safe putting Jacob the ground back into your lineups.
Speaker 1: Bubba, it's time where.
Speaker 2: We talk about the best bets of the day, again
Speaker 2: presented by our friends over at bet three six five.
Speaker 2: Use that promo code, guys, five bucks gets you one
Speaker 2: hundred and fiftyen bonus bets with that promo code. Leading off, Bubba,
Speaker 2: what do you have for us today on the betting.
Speaker 3: Side, Well, I'm not a big fan small slate, but
Speaker 3: we're attacking Walker Bueler. Folks. I know there's a question
Speaker 3: that chat to ask if we are trusting Bueler. I
Speaker 3: am not. Give me peekrow armstow. I'm over half a
Speaker 3: run for plus one sixty five odds. Use that one
Speaker 3: last week and it paid off. It's it runs are tough,
Speaker 3: but I think there's some offense to be had here.
Speaker 3: And Cody Bellinger coming back to La over one and
Speaker 3: a half total basis at plus one forty five. Would
Speaker 3: I almost took Cody as my home run call the day,
Speaker 3: just for fun, and then we'll stick with chicag I
Speaker 3: could go with the White Sox. Take it on Cantijo
Speaker 3: of Cleveland, who is horrible seven plus era. Give me
Speaker 3: lubob over one and a half total basis at plus
Speaker 3: one twenty five coming off a big Sunday game. So
Speaker 3: I'll take those three at plus one twenty five or
Speaker 3: better odds.
Speaker 1: I like it. Bubba is the plus money man. I'm Friday.
Speaker 1: How did you do on Friday, Bubba? I had a
Speaker 1: bit of a tough Friday.
Speaker 3: I think Friday was one and two or so. It
Speaker 3: wasn't a good Friday. Swept Wednesday. Friday wasn't so great.
Speaker 1: Wednesday. We were on fire. Friday.
Speaker 2: I think I was one and two as well. So
Speaker 2: we're getting back on the horse today. And that's why
Speaker 2: I'm not going too crazy with my picks. I'm going
Speaker 2: with some favorites and we're starting off with Paul Skins
Speaker 2: Marlins strikeouts. That's I mean for me, over six and
Speaker 2: a half for Paul Skins against the Marlins feels very
Speaker 2: attainable as long as they don't pull any weird crap
Speaker 2: and pull them after four innings or something like that.
Speaker 2: I think that this is a pretty easy one minus
Speaker 2: one sixty. The books also expected to happen. Look who's
Speaker 2: in the chat though, Ryan Bloomfield. But but the plus
Speaker 2: money man, he's gonna have to use that one. So
Speaker 2: make sure we're tuning into Bubba bubb in the bloom
Speaker 2: So we can hear Ryan use Bubba's new nickname. My
Speaker 2: second bet Kyle Hendricks over two and a half earned runs.
Speaker 2: He's facing the Dodgers, and they said it at two
Speaker 2: and a half. I would have thought this one. When
Speaker 2: I went to check, I was like, it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a three and a half. It's going to be too high.
Speaker 2: If Kyle Hendricks doesn't allow three and runs against the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: then there's something wrong with the Dodgers lineup because he
Speaker 2: is beyond cook. There's no need for Kyle Hendricks to
Speaker 2: be pitching at this point. He is simply doing it
Speaker 2: because the Cubs are desperate for starters. With Justin Steele
Speaker 2: going down against the Dodgers, I think this is a
Speaker 2: very easy one. And then I mentioned him before Tyler McGill,
Speaker 2: and I mean Ryan is another in the chatt if
Speaker 2: he's still there, another Ryan, Tyler McGill guy going back
Speaker 2: for years.
Speaker 1: We've been fans of his. But Vlad mcguerrero over.
Speaker 2: One and a half total bases at plus money still
Speaker 2: feels like a very good bet. Vlad has cooled off
Speaker 2: a little bit over the last couple of weeks, and
Speaker 2: that's only been a three thirty five batting average, so
Speaker 2: I think that there's still a very good chance that
Speaker 2: he is able to get a couple of bases tonight
Speaker 2: against Tyler McGill. So just the recap, Paul Skeen's over
Speaker 2: six and a half breakouts, Kyle Hendricks over two and
Speaker 2: a half earned runs, Flat Guerrero over one and a
Speaker 2: half bases, and for Bubba, Peter Armstrong over zero point
Speaker 2: five runs, Luis Robert over one and a half total bases,
Speaker 2: and Cody Bellinger also over one and a half total bases.
Speaker 2: All of those are available with our friends at bet
Speaker 2: three six five again use that promo code, guys, get
Speaker 2: yourself some free goodies. As we enter into the final
Speaker 2: few weeks of the season, Bubba, one last thing to
Speaker 2: do before we sign off today, and that is the
Speaker 2: home run call. And I think you've already kind of
Speaker 2: hinted at who you're gonna go with today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was almost belly bombs, but we're going with
Speaker 3: lou Bob taking Cantillo deep. It's I think it's a
Speaker 3: big day for lou Bob and the White Sox might
Speaker 3: actually they've scored seven runs on Sunday. They might do
Speaker 3: it for the first time. Well, I'm just guessing first
Speaker 3: time all season and back to back games, it should
Speaker 3: be a good game for shutdown.
Speaker 2: I'm going with my most niche home run call of
Speaker 2: the season here. People are gonna laugh at me, but
Speaker 2: I'm going with Danny Jansen, and the reason is because
Speaker 2: Danny Jansen destroys left handed pitching. It has been a
Speaker 2: bit tough for him recently. But against k Povic, a
Speaker 2: guy who has struggled quite a bit throw his first
Speaker 2: go around in the big leagues. I know he destroyed
Speaker 2: the White Sox last week, Bubba and I could probably
Speaker 2: shut down the White Sox on a given day, So
Speaker 2: I'm not reading too much into that Kid Povich start.
Speaker 2: I am thinking Danny Chanson getting back in the line
Speaker 2: up tonight is going to take one over the Green
Speaker 2: Monster against kid Povid. So that is my home run
Speaker 2: call for the day. Bub about any final thoughts here
Speaker 2: before we sign off, No.
Speaker 3: Just good luck to everybody. Saw a lot of Championship
Speaker 3: week stuff going on in the chat. If you guys
Speaker 3: have any questions, hit me up on Twitter. I'll try
