So I'm just going to be 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: sweating out that last week of the season seeing if 17 00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: anybody can catch. 18 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: Me, hoping that they can't do anything. Is that a 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: move where if you pass your innings cap, will you 20 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: still pick up starting pitchers to take them off of 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: the wire so your opponent cannot you know, have good options? 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I will use any tool at my disposal. You 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: know another thing, this is a Yahoo leak that you 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: can do is the day that you're gonna go over 25 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 3: your innings cap. You can go as far over it 26 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 3: as you want that day. So I will often pick 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: up like six starting pitchers on the final day of 28 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 3: my innings cap and go over in style. 29 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: So gamesmanship. You're definitely gonna play gamesmanship at the end there, 30 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: whether you're picking up and taking guys out the wire 31 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: when you can't start them final day. Hey, whatever you 32 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: gotta do to win. If you're not cheating, that's not 33 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: quite cheating. You're not winning. You're not trying to win. 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: That's what they in the rules. 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: If you're losing. 36 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: Exactly, you gotta like a fudget a little bit if 37 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 1: you need to Walkie says, I'm in a two week 38 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: championship matchup against a guy with no fab. I feel 39 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: like this is an advanta that I might misuse and 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: screw myself out of winning. There's definitely always that thing 41 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: where like you get up and then you're like should 42 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: I bench everybody? But then you start talking yourself into 43 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: like the fear of could this happen in that? And 44 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: sometimes you just have to play it out. And sometimes 45 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: the biggest advantage is a curse, at least to you mentally. 46 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: But it's a grind, man, It's the fantasy baseball grind. 47 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: Someone actually said to me this morning, They're like, baseball 48 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: still going on. Like, yeah, it's still going on. This 49 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: is what it's all about. This is why it is 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: special in so many hearts. I mean, you know, football 51 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: does own the space fantasy, but baseball is it's really 52 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: its own ecosystem and its world. It's longer, it's a 53 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: much bigger grind, and they all feel good to win. 54 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: There's something about winning a baseball championship though in fantasy 55 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: that holds just that little bit of weight for how 56 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: much whether it is playoffs or roto, with how much 57 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: work that was put in on a daily grind, the 58 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: payoff is pretty good. Andrew. 59 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's the hardest earned championship in sports, a fantasy 60 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: baseball championship. And you know, I have to say being 61 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: in the industry has sort of helped me in terms 62 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: of my lack of regret about mistakes, because you know, 63 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: now I feel more like I want to give other 64 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: people good advice, so I don't hate myself as much 65 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: when I mess up my own teams. 66 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: Because we will, because we will. I had a matchup 67 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: yesterday where I had de Gram and Strider going and 68 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: I still didn't win, and I still lost right at 69 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: the end because of a blow up earlier in the week. 70 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: So I'm still reeling from that. But we got lots 71 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: of news and notes for you as we moved through 72 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: here getting a set for the day. And how about 73 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge hit homers number fifty eight and fifty nine 74 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: is part of a four to five game with the 75 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: Yankees top the Brewers twelve to eight on Sunday, and 76 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: we are going into if I remember correctly, we are 77 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: going into the final two weeks. But this week one 78 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: homer away from sixty for Judge and then what is 79 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: it two? Because Maris is sixty one? So what are 80 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: we two homers from tying that or three homers from 81 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: breaking it? And then we're two homers away for pool Holes. 82 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: This could be a big week. This has the potential 83 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: to be a really big week. I have a I 84 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: feel like the pool Holest thing is going to happen. 85 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: I feel like both a sixty and the pool Holes 86 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: thing are both going to happen this week. 87 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: Andrew, how exciting would that be. Yeah. 88 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: I you know, I write the weekly Waiver Wire column 89 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: at Fantasy Pros and I actually made Albert Poohols my 90 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: number one headliner pickup of the week. And I just 91 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: love the fact that we are here in late September, 92 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 3: in the twilight of his career and we can still 93 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 3: in good conscience recommend him as a must add player. 94 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, especially with theoretically we would expect him to get 95 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: all the playing time moving forward. We'll talk about a 96 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: couple year waiver any other guys you have here in 97 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes, But Aaron Judge making about 98 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge just phenomenal stuff kind of hit that sixty 99 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: marker unless anything crazy happens. And you know, if the 100 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: debate will just continue on if there is a debate 101 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: as far as Judge versus Otani and all this stuff. 102 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: But everyone's going to hit their markers, which I think 103 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: is going to make it the most interesting. Everything will 104 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: hit its fun marker of like Judge is. I mean, 105 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: I went, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised of Judge as 106 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: sixty five by the end of this and the O 107 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: there's two more weeks. Judge is gonna be over that 108 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: sixty marker, and then you're gonna have you know, Tawny 109 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: have done what he's done, and then we'll just you know, 110 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I would say we let the the baseball 111 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: gods decide, but unfortunately we're gonna let writers decide and 112 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes, and we know how that 113 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: plays out. But Aaron Judge number fifty eight and fifty nine, 114 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: and Aaron Judge, I do believe should be crowned the 115 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: home run champion even of Fantasy pros on our board, 116 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: because I believe five more than the next person. It 117 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: would take a miracle for our crew to pass Aaron 118 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: Judge at this point. Pretty incredible. Speaking of incredible, Jacob 119 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: de Gram struck out thirteen was given a no decision 120 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: after allowing three runs then five plus against the Pirates. 121 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: J Gram's had a little bit of that last couple 122 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: games in that like runs are starting to stack up 123 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: a tiny bit becoming a little bit more hittable, while 124 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: also not it's like that one thing that opens him up, 125 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: because he's still striking out double digits at almost every 126 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: other start. But he's had a couple of these multi 127 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: run performances as he ends out the year, but you know, 128 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: he's still looking elite and still looking like a theoretical 129 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: number one sp next year if anyone has the Gutsandrew. 130 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, he just ran into the unstoppable 131 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: O'Neal Cruz, so that was his problem. But yeah, I 132 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 3: mean he's you know, of course, Cruz struck out in 133 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 3: two of his other at bats, but he did send 134 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: one over the fence against a Gram, and that's that's 135 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: kind of par for the course, right, It's, uh, ninety 136 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 3: percent of the time the Gram will dominate, but then 137 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: O'Neal Cruz, it just takes that one, you know, huge 138 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: exit velocity smack and it puts a dent in that era. 139 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is a stat. Mayor actually tagged me 140 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: and wonkey and it's pretty incredible. This is from Kevin Gorman, 141 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: pg H and the tweet was mets age. Jacob de 142 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: grom Is allowed a hit to a leadoff batter in 143 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: the first inning twice during the twenty twenty two seasons. 144 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: Let me repeat that has allowed a hit to the 145 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: leadoff batter in the first inning only twice his whole season, 146 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: both to Oneal Cruz. ONeill singled to lead off the 147 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: second game of a double hitter on September seventh at 148 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: P and C and doubled today which was yesterday in 149 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: the leadoff spot in city field with a one hundred 150 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: and eleven EV. So just a fun ONEO Cruise Jacob 151 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: de Grom combination, as you were kind of alluding to, 152 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: that is maybe part of his kryptonite, as making consistent 153 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: contact is o'neo Cruz's kryptonite. Jacob de Gram's is high high. 154 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: EV's really really strong, guys.

And I thought that was such a great question. 176 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: And the only retort I saw someone say was maybe 177 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: a Rod do you think this is the greatest walk 178 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: season in baseball history with what Aaron Judge is doing? 179 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: Because I don't remember the walk year of a Rod, 180 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: but I don't imagine it was like this. 181 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 3: It's really hard to say. I need to see a 182 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: list of walk heres. But I also question whether anything's 183 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 3: really a walk here when you're with the Yankees, because 184 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: if the Yankees decide that they don't want you to walk, 185 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 3: they can they can keep you where you are. 186 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: I agree, except that, like someone asked Judge about this 187 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks ago, and like he's still 188 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: kind of like, I don't think they're gonna sign me. 189 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to pay up. I don't 190 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: like he seemed really negative about it. But I mean, 191 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I guess we can't 192 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: call it a walk here unless he does go and 193 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: sign with somebody. But like, it's the greatest walk into 194 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: free agent year I think we've ever seen. It's just 195 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: an insane. 196 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: Well, when you're trying to make an impression on the 197 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 3: team with endless money, having the walkier of all walk 198 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 3: heers is probably a good business strategy. 199 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, good point. Saniel Contra allowed one run on Sunday 200 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: and a complete game victory over the Nets. It was 201 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: his fifth complete game of the season. No other team 202 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: has three, even has three andrew saniel Contra. Pretty dang good. 203 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is like a throwback, you know, 204 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 3: if Judge is a throwback to like the steroid era 205 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 3: with the home runs, you know, Al Kantara with the 206 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: complete games of the throwback to like the fifties or something. 207 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: I mean, we just don't see that very much in 208 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 3: today's game anymore. So, you know, I've taking little shots 209 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: at him in the past about the strikeout rate and 210 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 3: things like that, but that's kind of what you need 211 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: to get those complete games, because if you're striking out 212 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 3: double digit guys every game. You're going through a lot 213 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 3: more pitches, higher pitch counts. You're not gonna make it 214 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: through nine. 215 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: Well, look get to Grom. I mean, like you only 216 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: have so much margin for error where it's like you 217 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: strike out thirteen, you also give up a couple of runs. 218 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: You're not making a past a six like to the 219 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: six you have to be, like you have to be 220 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: a really high end pitcher for that even to happen. 221 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: You're probably going at best to the fifth on al Contra, 222 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: by the way, I haven't looked here the Cy Young. 223 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: He is currently minus four hundred on DraftKings. The next 224 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: closest is Julio Urrias at plus six hundred, so more 225 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: wrapped up according to betters than the al side of 226 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: Justin Verlander who's minus three seventy and Dylan C's plus 227 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: three ninety, so nothing more locked up on the say 228 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: Young race and Sandio Contra just wanted to point that 229 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: out to everybody, but LUs Ringifo, Man's there been anybody 230 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: hotter than the least from Guifo this last month? What 231 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: a way to go into next year for fantasy Ringuifo 232 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: two for four two homers three rby on Sunday, Angels 233 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: were able to win five to one. And he has 234 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: established himself from a potential platoonish type of player to 235 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: what looks like in everyday role and hitting in predominant spots, 236 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: hitting a lot of three and he has kind of 237 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: led to the call he's kind of beefed up. I 238 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: remember when he was a fun prospect to tout because 239 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: of stolen bases and everything, and Ringifo probably still one 240 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: of those players that is not highly owned in dead 241 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, deadish leagues. His ownership percent is probably still 242 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: going to look low because of the amount of dead 243 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: league's Andrew. 244 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's a fair point that he's 245 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 3: going beyond platoon player, but he still has pretty dramatic splits. 246 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: Let's just state it for the record. 247 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: I mean, he has ten home runs in one hundred 248 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: and thirty seven at bats against left handers, hitting three 249 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 3: thirty six against righty's two forty six five homers in 250 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty one at bats, so for the 251 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 3: season as a whole, and you know, as we get 252 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: to the offseason. Right now, he's clearly really hot. But 253 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: as we get to the offseason, we start pouring over 254 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: the data and everything, I feel like there'll still be 255 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 3: some questions about that. But if he's got an everyday job, 256 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: I mean, right now, he's just he's like completely on fire. 257 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: So you got to ride it. 258 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: Two seventy five batting average, fifteen homers, six stolen bases 259 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: on Yahoo alone, qualifies at four different positions, if you 260 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: want to think about that. Over the last month, hitting 261 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: two ninety two with six homers, of stolen base, fourteen RBI, 262 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: twelve runs, and has been moved between Yeah, I mean, 263 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm seeing he's been. He's been in the leadoff spot 264 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: the last three games. He's been in the leadoff spot 265 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: where he has two of three games with multi hit 266 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: He's hit out of five. I know, I've seen him 267 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: out of three and four. I mean, you know, with 268 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: a team that's had like Jared Walsh everything, I know 269 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: there's some questions, but I think he's going to be 270 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: a mainstay for this team. He's the new He's the 271 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: new what they wanted David Fletcher to be. And I 272 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: think he's going to be a mainstay that hits at 273 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: the top of the lineup, who's showing power and has 274 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: some stolen bases regardless of the splits. Just kind of 275 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: interesting guy. I don't want to throw him into that 276 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: like Fantasy League winner or anything like that, but just 277 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: free production at the end is what was key for 278 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: him and key for you guys. And then Rob field 279 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: Evers went four for six to three RBI on Sunday, 280 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: leading the Red Sox to a thirteen to three blowout 281 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: victory over the Royals. And Spencer Strider got ten strikeouts 282 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: over six innings on Sunday to win over the Phillies. 283 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: And I think Striyder is going to be a fantastically 284 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: fun person to talk about in the offseason about how 285 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: you rank him. Do you have any initial thoughts about 286 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: where Strider's going to be as far as SP's go 287 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: for you, because I've done my sp ranks and Striyder's 288 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: going to be quite high. 289 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 290 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 3: I mean, I haven't done any re ranks in the 291 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 3: last couple of weeks, but I gotta feel like he's 292 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 3: going to be definitely top twenty and potentially, you know, 293 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 3: top twelve. 294 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I think, I think, I think is 295 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: an easy way to say it. On the injury front, 296 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: Luis Savarino expected to return on Wednesday. He's going to 297 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: start against the Pirates, so that's good. Yankees manager Aaron 298 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: Boone said on Sunday that Harrison Bader is likely to 299 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: be activated for the Tuesday series against the Pirates, so 300 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: maybe some cheap stolen bases if he's sitting out there. 301 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: And Tyler glass Now for the Rays, had two perfect 302 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: innings on Sunday in a minor league rehab start over 303 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: in tripa A. I don't know if there's much production 304 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: or much to be had about him coming back. I 305 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: love that he's coming back, but I don't think it 306 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: means much more for next year because he'll be limited. 307 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: Speaking of glass Now, glass Now and Bader could potentially 308 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: be on this What do you got on any pickups? 309 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: You have the Waiver Wire article that people can check out. 310 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: You talked about pool holes kind of being a leading off. 311 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: Any other guys that we should be looking at this week. 312 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I didn't have Beata in there, but I 313 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: would definitely recommend him as a pickup. 314 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: I feel like he's always. 315 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 3: Kind of sneaky, valuable, kind of like a Romo and 316 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 3: Loreano type who can give you a bit of power 317 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 3: and a bit of speed. But because he doesn't really 318 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 3: stand out in any one category, he sort of flies 319 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 3: under the radar a little bit. But especially with the Yankees, 320 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: I mean, the run production opportunities should be really good 321 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: as long as he's getting regular playing time. 322 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: So I do like him to pick up. 323 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 3: Not so sure about Glass now, but he's, like you said, 324 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: a good story, Nicolodolo. He's still only fifty one percent roster, 325 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 3: at least he was as of as of Friday, and 326 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 3: he's just been on a roll lately. He's facing the 327 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: Red Sox tomorrow, so it's kind of a tough assignment. 328 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 3: But he's just been so good lately that I don't 329 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 3: have a problem using him at all, especially if you 330 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: need a little boost in the strikeout department and then 331 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 3: if you need a boost in the stolen based apartment. 332 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: Even better than Harrison Vader is Bobba Thompson, who's still 333 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 3: not very highly rostered. 334 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: And I get it. 335 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: He has a lot of swing and miss to his game, 336 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 3: like not, there's no power in the batting average is 337 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 3: probably not going to be great, although we can leg 338 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: out some infield hits potentially, but the speed is just 339 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: off the charts. I mean, he's the kind of guy 340 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 3: that can single handedly win you head to head matchup 341 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: in the stolen based category just by having him in 342 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 3: your lineup. 343 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: Good stuff, And you guys go and check. Is that 344 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: on your Twitter that people can find a quick easy link. 345 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's well, actually it's it's under. 346 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: My profile at Fantasy pro. 347 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 3: So if you just google Andrew Seifer and Fantasy pros, 348 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 3: that'll pop right up. 349 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: Here's one thing, so Wonky put together found some of 350 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: the seasons. So I put I went to the seasons 351 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: and we're just going to do two of them in 352 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: place of a trivia question or this day in baseball. 353 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: But we were talking about walkers and Walkee found a 354 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: list of the big walk years. Number one was a 355 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: Rod in two thousand, Bonds in nineteen ninety two, we 356 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: had Beltie in two thousand and four, a Rod in 357 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, and Zach Granki in two thousand. 358 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: Actually I don't see the date, but I'm guessing the 359 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: Granky was the cy youngest year. So on the a 360 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: Rod front, a Rod in two thousand, in his final 361 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: his walk here from Seattle where he goes to the Rangers, 362 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: had forty one homers one hundred and thirty two RBI, 363 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: fifteen stolen bases, hitting three sixteen, it's a pretty good year. 364 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: It's not sixty homers like Judge in two thousand and seven, 365 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: I think is the more applicable year, two thousand and 366 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: seven with the Yankees, but it looks like he re 367 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: signed and he had fifty four homers, one hundred and 368 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: fifty six RBI, and twenty four stolen bases while hitting 369 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: three fourteen. Those are the two a rod walkiars. The 370 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: very Bonds year was going from Pittsburgh to the San 371 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: Francisco Giants, and that year in nineteen ninety two, Bonds 372 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: hit thirty four homers and stole thirty nine bases while 373 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: hitting three eleven with a four fifty six OBP. So 374 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: are any of those seasons better than what Judges doing 375 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: this year? 376 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 2: Probably not. 377 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 3: I mean, you can't really compare, you know, those Alex 378 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 3: Rodriguez statistics to what Aaron Judge is doing right now. 379 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 3: You have to compare the player to the players in 380 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 3: the same year. That's the only way that you can 381 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 3: look at it. We know that things change in terms 382 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 3: of ballparks, things change in terms of performance enhancing drugs, 383 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: things change in terms of pitcher quality and depth in 384 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 3: terms of the baseball itself, There's so many different factors, 385 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 3: and really the only way to account for all that 386 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 3: is just to compare the player to their own league 387 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 3: mates at that given year, and Judge is just so 388 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 3: far in front of everybody else in the home run department. 389 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 2: It truly is incredible. 390 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: That's an interesting way to take it. I mean, even 391 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: if you do just go do like categorical stats and stuff, 392 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: you can maybe make an argument on the two thousand 393 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: and seven A Rod year with the stolen bases and 394 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: the homers, but judges and the RBI look crazy. But 395 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: Judges a potential to eclipse one hundred and forty RBI. Here, 396 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: he's hitting a higher batting average than a Rod did. 397 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: He's gonna be over sixty, and he's going to become 398 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: close to twenty stolen bases. I think it's the best 399 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: categorical walk year in history. It is close, though, because 400 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: I think that one A Rod year is there, I 401 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't probably throw bonds in there. There's some interesting one, but. 402 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 3: The Belcher one really got me laughing because I totally 403 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 3: remember that it was so it was the classic walk 404 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 3: here he was the classic player that, like you know, 405 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 3: could could just be extra motivated to get that money. 406 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: And I'll give you the stats. What year was that. 407 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: I think it was two thousand and four. 408 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, here it is. Yeah, because in two thousand 409 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: and four with the Dodgers, he hit forty eight homers 410 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: while hitting three thirty four. He had seven stolen bases, 411 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one RBI, one hundred and four runs, 412 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: and he never came. 413 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 2: Within What did he do the next season? 414 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: The next season, the first season in Seattle, he had 415 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: nineteen homers and hit two twenty five. He hit one 416 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: hundred and ten points lower, and he had twenty nine 417 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: less stolen bases, and he never came within twelve homers 418 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: in his career. Of those forty eight he actually only 419 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: eclipsed thirty four more times. This was in two thousand 420 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: and four, when he was twenty five. His entire career, 421 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: which he played till thirty nine, he only hit thirty 422 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: homers four more times that entire career after the forty eight. 423 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: And it's no hate. 424 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 3: He had a very solid career, but that one year 425 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 3: was just off the charts. 426 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, wonder why they're off the charts. All right, let's 427 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: go to SAT heroes. Martin Maldonado four to four with 428 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: a homer, four RBIs with four runs yesterday. That categorically 429 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: will help you if you were looking for some runs 430 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: going into your championship from the catcher spot. Eloy Jmenez 431 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: three for four, a homer, three RBIs, couple runs. Aliset 432 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: Wan Gifa, who we talked about, had two homers, three RBI, 433 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: two runs, Oswaldo Cabrera three for four two one homer, 434 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: two RBI, two runs. Juan Soto had a homer off 435 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: Ryan Nelson. He went three for four. He needed that. 436 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: Jan Gomes a homer three RBI, Tyron Taylor three for 437 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: four with a homer, Christian Bettencourt had a home run, 438 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: and Colton Wong one homer, three RBI. Do you think 439 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: of that group, is there a big, massive win of 440 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: a pickup. Do you think oswald Cabrera, Betton Court, Wong. 441 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: Is there somebody that you've kind of latched onto which 442 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: is going to be a helper for the last two weeks? 443 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 3: Well, I did just pick up Betton Court this morning 444 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 3: in a league. I think if you're trying to fill 445 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 3: out catcher games, and a lot of times people fall 446 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 3: behind in that category. So if you're in a daily 447 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: lineups league and you can just pick him up for today, 448 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: for example, because a lot of teams are off today 449 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 3: and he's playing. So that's the kind of micromanaging that 450 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 3: you need to do down the stretch in a lot 451 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 3: of leaks. But in terms of just an overall pickup, 452 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 3: I would say Osuilo Cabrera is pretty interesting. I mean, 453 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 3: this guy went twenty twenty in double A last year 454 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 3: and he's getting every day playing time right now for 455 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 3: the Yankees. So there's a lot of moving parts there. 456 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 3: You know, depending who comes off the il, maybe the 457 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 3: playing time drives up. But if it's not, I mean, 458 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 3: he's got the raw skills and the really favorable hitting environment, 459 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: so that's intriguing. 460 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: On the pitching side, you Darvis struck out eight over six. 461 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: He has been very, very consistent on this back half 462 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: of the year, really helping people out. Joe Ryan five 463 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: strikeouts seven and two thirds only give up three hits. 464 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: Samuel Contra we said went complete games, striking out seven striders, 465 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: struck out ten over six, and Andrew Heeney struck out 466 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 1: four over eight, which actually That's interesting because of one 467 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: of the bets today actually was a Heini one, so 468 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: that must be incorrect. Off to fix that because Heini 469 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: had eight strikeouts, zero's Mark Matthias and Jakeswinsky oh for 470 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: four with four k's Riley Green had three strikeouts, Gunnard 471 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: Henderson three strikeouts, Big Old Rookie set there CJ Crown, Hunter, Renfro, 472 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: Aristide Zechino, Seth Brown, Matt Olsen, Chris Taylor all oh 473 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: for four with three strikeouts. On the pitcher side, Chris 474 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: Bubach two and two thirds, five earned runs, he walked three. 475 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: Drew Hutchinson gave up six earned runs, kN Walde Chuck 476 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: gave up five, and Glenn Otto gave up four. You know, 477 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: if you were actually dealing with any of those players, 478 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: God bless you. If you were maybe ken Walde Chuck, 479 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: I think turn any of those. 480 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 481 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, long term, if you were doing it in the 482 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, like Drew Hutchinson, probably should not have been 483 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: a player that anybody was messing around with, you know, 484 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: just going out on a limb here. 485 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 3: But if you're trying to get wins, it's probably not 486 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 3: the best option right now. 487 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that, over to the home run board. 488 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: Kat Fox and El Skel are in a head to 489 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: head dog fight. I don't again, I don't have a 490 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to press them for the final week to 491 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: get us some art by the way, so we can 492 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: get it like every day, because I think that'll be fun. 493 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: They've just slacked on it on the back end. But 494 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,239 Speaker 1: Cat Fox is up to fifty four. The leader had 495 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: Mike Trout yesterday did not go, but l Scale had 496 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: Judge up to fifty three. So it is a fifty 497 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: four to fifty three head to head match up Helpless 498 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: in Miami and Highcubby both at fifty one and d 499 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: Blum at fifty. The contest is tight and at the top. 500 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: You guys have only got two weeks left here Cat 501 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: Fox and l Scale one homer between each other, So 502 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: get that bad boy stuff going here over to our 503 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: friends over at bet MGM use the promo code leading 504 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: off and you guys can get a one thousand dollars 505 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: risk up to a one thousand dollars risk free bet. 506 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: All you got to do is go over, download the app, 507 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: get hooked up tape in the promo code, and bet away. 508 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: You can get your free bets.

I would say bet 511 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: MGM might be one of the better reward program books. 512 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: And I've used many of them, from you know, DraftKings, 513 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: the Fan Duel to Caesars and I really really like 514 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: that one. So go and check them out today, use 515 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: a promo code leading off, get hooked up and make 516 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: some of those bets. So I realized why I had 517 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: that because on my betting pros board it still had yesterday, 518 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: so that is why that was not updated. So let 519 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: me go through and I'm gonna give you some of 520 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: the top bets here. And the number one bet of 521 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: the day is Gunner Henderson over one total base minus 522 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: one ninety on DraftKings. So Gunner Henderson, who just had 523 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of strikeouts the other day, he's the 524 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: number one as far as any of them go. But 525 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: it is minus one ninety, which is a pretty big 526 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: number to bet. So if you're gonna bet it, you're 527 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: probably gonna want to put it together with something else. 528 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: If you want an even money play, you can go 529 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: Mike Trout one and a half total base is over. 530 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: He's projected at two and a half and that is 531 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: over on DraftKings as well, so you can play both 532 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: of those for even money over. On the strikeout front, 533 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: the number one strikeout play today is Max Scherzer. It 534 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: is only at five and a hat so check us out. 535 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: It's a five and a half. He's projected at eight 536 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: and on Draft Kings it is minus one fifty five. 537 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: You can play that. That is a pretty dang good 538 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: number that we usually don't see, especially on sureser five 539 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: and a half something the books know that we don't, 540 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: which seems a little fishy. And the plus money play 541 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: is Kyle Wright against Washington. He's projected at six, it's 542 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: five and a half. You get plus one twenty five 543 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: all of these on DraftKings, baby, So what do you 544 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: think here? You got Mike Trout, You've got Gunner Henderson 545 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: on total bases, and you've got Kyle Wright and Max 546 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: Scherzer on strikeouts. Kyle Wright and Mike Trout the plus 547 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: money plays anything. 548 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 3: You like, Well, I think you nailed it on that 549 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: Scherzer one. I think you have to go with that, 550 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 3: But you know, the Trout one is interesting as well. 551 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 3: You know he is facing Logan Gilbert who's been pitching 552 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 3: well lately, but Trout has just been really great down 553 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 3: the stretch this season, and we know how good he 554 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 3: is when he's healthy and going strong. 555 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: So he's a guy I'm always happy to bet on. 556 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: And everybody's pointing out in the chat like the reason 557 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: it's lower we saw I want to point out we 558 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: saw this exact same thing with We've seen it with 559 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: Ja Gram and we saw it with Justin Verlander. He's 560 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: coming back. You got you can call pitch counts, but 561 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: my only argument is, like guys like Verlander and stuff, 562 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: and even there's there's not a lot of pitch count stuff, 563 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: and normally a guy coming off an injury, this would 564 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: be a bet I wouldn't do because of exactly what 565 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: you guys are pointing out. But Surezier, I give the 566 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: pass for Sureser and Verlander. I will always give the 567 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: pass for in this type of an instance because A 568 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: they can do it in three innings and B they're 569 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: guys that are just going to go longer into the 570 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: season at this point. So I get, I get the 571 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: concerns everyone might have, but that's a guy I'm willing 572 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: to go with. 573 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 3: You tried telling Max Schurzer to come out of the 574 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 3: game exactly. 575 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 1: Uh huh, I don't think so. Also, it's you can 576 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: kind of play it like it's minus one fifty five. 577 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: That's not great. You don't want that type of juice 578 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: on those type of bets, but like you can still 579 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: play it and feel relatively good about it. And the 580 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: mic trout one even at one and a half. I 581 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: don't know, these are some good bets. I kind of 582 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: dig these today. And let's go over and talk about 583 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: some home run calls. Well in that Bad Boy DFS 584 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: is out there. It's a short slate today. I'm just 585 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: pointing out for everybody. I guess I don't mean to 586 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: like jump over it or anything like that, but there's 587 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: some OK matchups. You got Logan Gilbert at nine to 588 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: nine over on FanDuel today, Duress Musen against it, but 589 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: it's against the Astros, which you don't particularly like. There's 590 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of runs in that Baltimore Detroit side. 591 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: Kyle Wright up against Washington. Kyle Wright is ten to 592 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: one over on over on FanDuel. If you wanted to 593 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: put him out there, And there were some obviously some 594 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: big implied runs on the Dodgers and then the Giants 595 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: Rockies game has an over eleven total run implied total 596 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: according to Fantasy Labs, So you might be able to 597 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: stack some of those guys. Wilmer Flores is cheap at 598 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: the three spot. Jonathan Daza you could throw out there. 599 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: So look at the top of the lineup on some 600 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: of these shorter slates, and you have to play around 601 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: with some of the pitchers, you know, maybe throw out 602 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: a sunny Gray, Maybe throw out that I'm meanto Kyle Wright, 603 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: though he'll probably be highly played, but home run calls 604 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: a stranger Seichtter. What you got to get on the 605 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: board here? 606 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 3: Well, I wanted to jump in on that Dodgers lineup 607 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 3: against Meryll Kelly. I see our colleague Mike Mayor already 608 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 3: has Mookie Betts called, so I will I will pivot 609 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 3: off of that and go with Freddie Freeman. 610 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well I was gonna go. I'm going with Mookie. 611 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: I'm I can't. Mayor always takes this from me every time. 612 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: Credit to him for getting there early. Mookie is a 613 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: BVP play on Meryll today. He's got a couple I 614 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: think three career homers. He's got a great batting average 615 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: over three fifty plus career wise on on MARYL. Kelly 616 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: and the Diamondbacks, and I'm gonna join Mayor on it 617 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: because again what am I playing for? So you've got 618 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: Freeman I and Mayor have Mookie Betts, Wonkey is going 619 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: with Matt Olsen today and of course Joe has got 620 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge as he always does friends he always always does. 621 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: And that is it. That is it for the show. 622 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: Andrew would anything to play.
