Speaker 1: great shirt. I keep it. I keep it close by.

27
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: I wore it the one day actually where Bubba had

28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: the internet issues and I had to go solo. Funnily enough,

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: But today we're gonna be talking about some of the headlines,

30
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: breaking down some of the injuries, and doing all that

31
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,360

Speaker 1: as well. So if you guys want to throw a

33
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: couple of questions into the chat, I'd be happy to

34
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: answer them. I see Joe g is there, and we'll

35
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: get to a couple of these in a minute. But

36
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: let's start off with a couple of headlines. Let's start

37
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: off with Hunter Green. You know the Mets. I've been

38
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: I've been looking over the last three weeks, Like when

39
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: August ended, I started looking at, Okay, who are the

40
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: top performing teams in August et cetera, And the New

41
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: York Mets were the number one team, and they've been

42
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: good over the first few games of September as well.

43
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: They have won sixty three w RC plus over the

44
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, So naturally, Hunter Green goes in

45
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: there seven innings, twelve strikeouts, one run, two walks. Just

46
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: fantastic outing from Hunter Green. And for the season as

47
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: a whole, he's been He's been brilliant, he really, I

48
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: know he's had to miss some time, but when Hunter

49
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: Green has been out there, ninety innings of a two

50
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: five nine era, a point ninety three whip the walks,

51
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: the commands are like we've never seen before from him

52
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: with just a five percent walk. Great. So what are

53
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: your thoughts heading into next year on Hunter Green? Is

54
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: he somebody you'd trust as an sp one? Do the

55
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: ballpark in injury concerns kind of scare you off? Is

56
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: he more of a two for you? You? Where is

57
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: your evaluation come out on Hunter Green? Ryan? Yeah?

58
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: For me, And you're right, Joe, the walks, cutting down

59
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: on the walks. Hundred Green has gone from a thrower

60
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: to a pitcher pretty much, you know, this past year.

61
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: So this is a blind spot for me in terms

62
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: of like how to evaluate someone like Hunter Green. I

63
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: cannot get over. I'm not too worried about the ballpark

64
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: like he's just so dominant that, Yeah, you may give

65
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: up a cheap e every now and then, but Hunter

66
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: Green is just so good that I don't know. He

67
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: could pitch on the moon and be fine. My biggest

68
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: thing is always just the injuries, and again it's something

69
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: I probably have to get over because Hunter Green.

70
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: On an per ending basis, I mean, is one.

71
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: Of the probably easy in the top five pitchers in baseball.

72
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: I just worry about the volume, but maybe I shouldn't.

73
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: If you can get one hundred and fifty innings out

74
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: of hundred Green, which is what he did last year,

75
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: He's gonna clips another one hundred.

76
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: This season as well.

77
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: It's not that much below what you would expect from

78
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: a quote unquote safe starting pitcher, which doesn't really exist truthfully,

79
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: So someone who I need to probably bump up one

80
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: hundred Green's a blind spot. I don't have any hundred Green,

81
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: and I'm absolutely missing out. Very nice to see him

82
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: finish the season healthy for me. That's big whenever a

83
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: starting pitcher actually finishes the season. I know we've got

84
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: three weeks left, but that helps a lot in terms

85
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: of my off season evals.

86
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: For these guys.

87
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: So he went at the end of the fourth round.

88
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,279
Speaker 1: In that early draft you guys did as the fourteenth

89
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: starting pitcher off the board. It feels about right. It

90
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: does feel roughly where he should be going into the fourth.

91
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: I could see him going in the third as well.

92
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: Once drafts really ramp up next season, I think it'll go.

93
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: I think it'll be higher, just because when we had

94
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: that meatball draft, to believe that was like August twentieth,

95
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: that it was just one start back, Hunter Green from

96
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: the IL and so you were kind of taking a

97
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: little bit of a leap of faith that Hunter Green

98
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: would be healthy.

99
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: Not that he's shown it.

100
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: I can see Hunter Green jumping up second, third round

101
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: by the time we get to March.

102
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I can see it. Yeah, this draft was interesting. I

103
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: mean it's been talked about on a lot of shows,

104
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: but there was no pictures in the second, a ton

105
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: of pitchers in the third and fourth, and Green was

106
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys in the fourth that maybe if

107
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: he was healthy, like you said, maybe he does go

108
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: on that Chris Sale, Logan, Gilbert, Joe, Ryan Range and

109
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: also a guy who went right there was Hunter Brown,

110
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: Hunter Green or Hunter Brown next season, it's a close one.

111
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's gonna require the off

112
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: season of digging into the numbers. But off the top

113
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: of my head, I might go with Hunter Brown. It's close, though, Yeah,

114
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: it is close.

115
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. So I'm gonna back up what I

116
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: just said, and I think, like I think Hunter Brown

117
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: needs the volume to beat Hunter Green. And I don't

118
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 3: know if we can say with any type of certainty

119
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: that Hunter Brown is a quote unquote safer pitcher than

120
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: Hunter Green. So I'll take the better skills, I'll take

121
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: the dominance of Hunter Green over Hunter Brown. But I

122
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: certainly get if you want.

123
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: To go the other way. It is. It is close,

124
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: that's totally fair. I think that's totally fair. Just wait

125
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: till Hunter Blue comes into the next next year, and

126
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: then we're not gonna have any idea what to do

127
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: about it. Let's talk about show Hey, Oh, that show

128
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: Hay is a popular topic of conversation. But when he

129
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: goes on base five times HiT's two homers, I feel

130
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: like he's worth bringing up one hundred and twenty seven

131
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: runs for the year. Forty eight homers, ninety ribby, seventeen

132
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: steals in a ops, that's just over one thousand. There's obviously,

133
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: no fantasy moved to make. My question really is is

134
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: either undisputed number one next year or do you think

135
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: it'll be like kind of like this year where we

136
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: see Judge go first a couple of times, maybe Bobby

137
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: Wit or somebody else sneaks in. If you have the

138
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: first pick, are you going show hey?

139
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: You think, yeah, don't get cute, don't overthink it. Show

140
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: Hayes is being show hey. And I remember back to

141
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: when you know, back this past draft season. You know,

142
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: maybe we're worried about the shoulder injury that he had

143
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: last postseason and whatever, but no take show Hey, don't

144
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: think twice at all?

145
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: Okay, no consideration for Judge.

146
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: Not really.

147
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: I had I had the second pick in the in

148
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: the aforementioned much discussed the meatball draft that we that

149
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: we had a few weeks ago, and like, I knew

150
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: Judge was coming to me, and I was praying, I

151
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: was praying that Otani would somehow not get picked first

152
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 3: by Steve Weimer.

153
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: But I knew that was gonna happen.

154
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 3: So just me going through that mental exercise is, yeah, Otani,

155
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: I think is like even if you can't use him

156
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: as a pitcher, like whatever format like, just put him

157
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 3: at ut and enjoy.

158
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: You won't get any argument for me there. And I

159
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: think even though like NFBC leagues or leagues where he

160
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: is one player, you're probably not going to ever use

161
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: him as a pitcher. But right maybe you get to

162
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: August and your offense is stacked and you've lost five

163
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: pitchers and you just need an Otani week and you

164
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: have that luxury to do it. Not that you would

165
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: very often, but even if you do it once or

166
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: twice in the season could pay dividends for you with

167
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: mister Otani. Let's talk Jacob Mizerowski. He got back on

168
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: track with a great start i'll be it against the Pirates.

169
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: Seven innings, three hits, one earned run, two walks in

170
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: eight strikeouts. It had been pretty miserable for Jacob Mizerowski

171
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: for a while before this, but overall the numbers are

172
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. A four h nine era is probably

173
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: the ugliest of the surface stats that you'll see. He

174
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: has a three twelve FIP, one oh nine whip, twenty

175
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: four percent strike up minus walk. Right now, where did

176
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: Miserowski go in this draft?

177
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: Um?

178
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: He went in the tenth round. I don't know. That

179
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna see him fall that far once people really

180
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: get into drafting, and once the calendar flips of twenty

181
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: twenty six, I feel like whoever took Misowski here don Morello,

182
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: got himself a really nice deal in the tenth round.

183
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: Agreed, Agreed we'd take a tenth round price on the

184
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: Miz next season. Also, don't think you will be able

185
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: to get that price, just given the way that the

186
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: Miz has finished twenty twenty five. If I have to

187
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: pay a fifth or sixth round price or something just

188
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: kind of throwing out numbers here, I don't know if

189
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: I would do it. I just I worry about. For me,

190
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: it's two things with Miserowski. It's it's the walk rate.

191
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: I don't I think we're gonna get brilliant outings like

192
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: we just saw this past weekend for Miszerowski.

193
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: But I think we're also going to get.

194
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: Some of those other types of outings, just the inconsistency

195
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: of everything that comes with miserowski skill set. The other

196
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: thing for me too is just can we trust a

197
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: guy to throw ninety nine one hundred for a full

198
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: season and just injury wise that that scares the crap

199
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: out of me again, that's more just the way that

200
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: eye draft. And I've been burned by that before by

201
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: by trying to kind of predict who will and won't

202
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: get hurt for starting pitchers. But that does scare me

203
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: when you're throwing that hard over an entire season, Ken

204
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: Misrawski do, I'd like to see him do it first.

205
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: If I miss out, that's fine.

206
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: There's probably gonna be other really good starting pitcher options

207
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: around where he's gonna go.

208
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I could also see him being the guy

209
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: where there's one person h Room who's gonna jump him

210
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: around just because the skills the youngest All not the

211
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: youngest All Star. But after like four games, people will

212
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: look at the kind of thing ninety seven mile an

213
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: hour sliders, very exciting stuff, but at the same time

214
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: not to be doom and gloom. But he's gonna go

215
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: unto the knife at some point, and you just don't

216
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: know when that's gonna be. You can't throw one hundred

217
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: and two with sliders that are only five miles an

218
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: hour slower and stay healthy for your whole career, and

219
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: you know that's gonna be a time bomb for somebody

220
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: one year. Let's keep it going and talk about the

221
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: other side of that one, which was a complete opposite

222
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: stat line from Bubba Chandler in his first career start.

223
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: You got a feel for this guy. He spends the

224
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: whole year in the miners, he gets called up, pitches

225
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: well in relief a few times, and then the first

226
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: start comes against the best team in baseball at this

227
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: point of the year. Two and two thirds, nine hits,

228
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: niner and runs, three walks and three strikeouts. Where are

229
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: you out on Bubba Chandler right now? Would you be

230
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: drafting him in the offseason expecting he's gonna get a

231
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: full run in the rotation next year, or do you

232
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: think there's potentially more games that are going to be

233
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: played in Pittsburgh with Bubba? I would?

234
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: I would.

235
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 3: We could go off on a whole other podcast about

236
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: playing games with Bubba Chandler and how the Pirates operate,

237
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 3: but I would draft Bubba Chandler expecting that he is

238
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: a starting pitcher next season. It's just it's really tough,

239
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: Like if you hell, we had plenty of venting in

240
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: our bubble in the Bloom Discord Yesterday's like I helped

241
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 3: Bubba Chandler all year for this and it has. I mean,

242
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 3: it hasn't been bad until this most recent outing, but

243
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: certainly not what you want to see with Bubba Chandler.

244
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: I just I worry about I still like he wasn't

245
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: even that great in the minors this season. Maybe he

246
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: was just kind of doing whatever, biding his time for

247
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 3: the call up. And so maybe you take the twelve

248
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: percent walk grate that Bubba Chandler had in the miners,

249
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 3: which is really bad, maybe you take that with a

250
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 3: grain of salt. But I certainly think he's a step behind,

251
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 3: maybe multiple steps behind uh Mizerowski and even a healthy

252
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: Chase Burns.

253
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: Those types of guys. Yeah, I can't take him ahead

254
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: of those guys, ahead of Nolan McLain, Tom It will

255
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: be right, I don't know, especially because the team context,

256
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: right like Miserowski, good team, Tom McLain, good team Burns

257
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: better team than this. So I don't know. I think

258
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: that there is something to be said about he was

259
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: in the miners the whole year. Maybe he got a

260
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: little bit bored, maybe he was a little bit frustrated.

261
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he is a true talent for era

262
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: guy in the miners, and I don't think that he

263
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: is somebody you can expect to have a seven plus

264
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: ERA in the bigs's. That's not who he is. The

265
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: stuff is still very good. I'm still very encouraged by him,

266
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: and if anything, what this might do is just chip

267
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: away at the price for next season and we get

268
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: some cheap Bubba Chandler shares in those early drafts. Let's

269
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: talk about his team mate O'Neil Cruz, who has been miserable, awful,

270
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: like dropable, I'd say in a lot of leagues. He

271
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: won gold Golden Sombraro yesterday over four He's now slashing

272
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: two oh one three zho two three eighty four with

273
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: a six eighty six ops. Now, the fantasy goodness is

274
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: still somewhat there nineteen homers and thirty seven steals. But

275
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want really anything to do

276
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: with O'Neil Cruz heading into next season. He hasn't ever

277
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: really put it together over a full season. The exit

278
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: velos and everything are great, but he hasn't put it together,

279
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know that I want to trust him.

280
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: Where he's likely to go in the second or third round.

281
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't go that early. But what are your

282
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on O'Neil Cruse.

283
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just don't think he's a good hitter,

284
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: like a good real life hitter. The team context, as

285
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: we talked about, is is horrendous as well. He cannot

286
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 3: hit lefties at all.

287
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: So it's tough if.

288
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: You're in weekly leagues or even I mean if daily

289
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: like you're I don't think in daily formats you can

290
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: even start O'Neil Cruz against lefties even if Pittsburgh throws

291
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: him out there, So that's tough.

292
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean.

293
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: The one thing I will say, like the fantasy floor

294
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: for O'Neil Cruz, like, for as horrendous of a season

295
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: this has been for him, he still has the thirty seven,

296
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: still has the nineteen home runs, like you kind of have.

297
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: I don't want to say like a twenty forty floor,

298
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 3: but like you have a twenty forty baseline, and it's

299
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: just how do you build around that because the batting

300
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 3: average are two to one batting average, Like I don't

301
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: see that getting a whole lot better. Like O'Neal Cruz

302
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: has still young, but he's had a lot of time

303
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: in the majors at this point to where like I

304
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: think we know this is who he is, and yeah,

305
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: lefty heavy weeks for Pittsburgh. It's just like you're getting

306
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: nothing from O'Neill Cruise.

307
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, where's the swinging strike rate at It's improved a

308
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: little bit, but contact rates are not great. I just's

309
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: there's nothing here for me that says like, yes, he's

310
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: a second rounder. Like the raw data is phenomenal. The

311
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: hard hit rate at fifty seven percent is his best

312
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: ever nineteen percent barrel rate, but the launch angle of

313
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: seven degrees right, and I don't care how hard you

314
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: hit the ball when you're hitting it into the ground

315
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: like he is forty seven percent of the time. So

316
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: I think he's the type of guy where if he falls,

317
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: if I get him in the fourth round, maybe I

318
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: take a chance on him. But we're three hundred and

319
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: fifty plus games, fifteen hundred played appearances in here, O'Neill Cruz.

320
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: This might just be who he is now. I think

321
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: I'll probably spike a couple of great seasons and big dances,

322
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: asking like keep O'Neil Cruz in round twenty four. Absolutely

323
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: in the twenty fourth round. But at the same time,

324
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: maybe we have to recalibrate expectations from a couple years

325
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: ago where people thought this is gonna be a first

326
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: round fantasy player. Maybe he's more of a third or

327
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: a fourth round fantasy player going forward. At maybe even

328
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: that's being generous. But let's talk a role as Chapman.

329
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: Fifty consecutive batters retired for Chapman, he is an era

330
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: below won this season, it's at point nine to eight,

331
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: a point six y four whip, eighty one strikeouts, twenty

332
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: nine saves. He struck out four batters in one inning yesterday.

333
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: He literally is invincible right now. I don't know how

334
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: much I trust the rold As Chapman, though at this

335
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: stage of his career he is no spring chicken. A

336
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: Roldest Chapman is gonna be thirty eight years old next year,

337
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: and as brilliant as this year is, I don't know

338
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: if I want to go into drafts trusting him as

339
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: my first closer next year? Would you or would you

340
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: be more willing to take him as like a second

341
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: closer or protect even just fade them.

342
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: Probably a second closer. But I mean, how do you

343
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 3: argue with anything the rold As Chapman has done? Like,

344
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you're the only like, yes, this is not

345
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: the same version of the Reds or you know, vintage

346
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 3: a roled As Chapman, but like this version's pretty damn good,

347
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: so I I certainly for me, it's just it's the

348
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: age I I and just volatility of relievers you just

349
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: never know coming off of one elite but just kind

350
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 3: of one season for rold As Chapman like this, at

351
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: least recently. He's obviously been very lockdown closer for you know,

352
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: early mid career, but at least the last couple of

353
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: seasons it's been hit or missed with the role.

354
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: Is so yeah.

355
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: I mean the other part of that is the closer

356
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: pool for next season is already just is already a show.

357
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: There's just not many good options, maybe eight or ten.

358
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 3: When I was going through the potential you know, true

359
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: rp ones for next or at least just even good

360
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: relief pitchers that have the job for twenty twenty six,

361
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: it's like eight to ten guys. So that is the

362
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: other thing. It's just like a supply demand thing a role.

363
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: This is one of those guys, and so that that

364
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: asset will probably get pushed up to a point where

365
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know if I want to do it.

366
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 3: But anyone who took a role this chap in this

367
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 3: season adp like two hundred. I mean, that is just

368
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: that's a windfall, absolute windfall.

369
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: If you're like a shallow league player, like if you're

370
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: in a home league or something, this is probably a

371
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: waiver wire for ye or maybe in your last round.

372
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: But just looking at the player raider for closers this year,

373
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: you're not wrong. Man, it's looking a little dark now.

374
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: Maybe we get like Ryan Hell's lee resurgence next year.

375
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: Devin Williams. I'm not sure if Dovall is a free

376
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: agent or not, Like, maybe some of these guys signed places.

377
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: Maybe Alexisia some sign somewhere and figures it out. But

378
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty rough. It is pretty rough right now looking

379
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: at the landscape. And I was talking to Spore on

380
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: the show the other day and he said, like, maybe

381
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: I take two closers in the first couple of rounds

382
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: before I even take a starter. And at first I'm like, oh,

383
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: maybe that it might be a little much, Paul, But

384
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's not considering the landscape here, especially if you're

385
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: drafting early right like if you're drafting in November and December,

386
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't really want to speculate on clos. There's a

387
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: whole lot. There's so much that's gonna happen. If I'm

388
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: drafting a part of the part of the season, I

389
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: kind of want Diaz a hater or something like that,

390
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: just to lock it in because I have too many

391
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: Luke Weaver Alexis DS teams from this year to look

392
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: back on in shame, look back on in shame. Joe Adell,

393
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about him. Another home run on Sunday, his

394
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: thirty fifth of the season. Now, he did have to

395
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: leave early with some kind of illness. It doesn't seem

396
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: like it's particularly serious. But this is a legit breakout.

397
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: You know, earlier in the year we were kind of like, well,

398
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's a breakout, but he kind of did

399
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: this last year. But we're talking thirty five homers, it's

400
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: going to be one hundred plus ribies, one hundred and

401
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: twenty WRC plus. He's been fantastic. Joe Adell next season,

402
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: top twenty five outfielder or does that feel a little

403
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: too rich? Maybe off the top of my.

404
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: Head for me, that feels a little too rich, and

405
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: but it's hard to tell, Like I haven't looked at

406
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: the outfield pool for next season. It's more just like

407
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: with Joe Adell, like this is the breakout we've been

408
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: waiting for, and so you can kind of take this

409
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: as two sides of the coin is like, Okay, he

410
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: actually really good. Now, this is the kind of the

411
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: guy that we were waiting on when he was twenty

412
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: two to twenty three, and now he has now taken

413
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: that next step and can sustain this. The other side

414
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: kind of the glass half empty, is this is a

415
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: guy who does have a very long Major league track

416
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: record of.

417
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: Being pretty bad.

418
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 3: So do you expect this to continue or do you

419
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 3: expect it to fall back? Like Joeidell hit two oh

420
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: seven each of the previous two seasons, has more home runs,

421
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: had thirty eight home runs entering this season for his career,

422
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: and now just thirty five. So to me, everything kind

423
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 3: of thinks I think it's going to fall back a

424
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: little bit. And then and when you don't have the

425
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 3: running game that we thought Jo Adell might have, and

426
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 3: maybe that's team context, maybe the Angels run a little

427
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 3: bit more next year.

428
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: A hell of a season for Joe Adell. I just

429
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: I have a hard.

430
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 3: Time thinking this is who he is all of a

431
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: sudden now, and maybe I'm wrong on that, but because

432
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: this is somebody who had all the prospect pedigree and

433
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 3: just maybe it just took him a while to figure

434
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: it out, it's a fascinating kind of question, that fork

435
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 3: in the road on where this could go next year.

436
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: It's it's an interesting situation for sure, because, similarly to

437
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: O'Neal Cruz, some of the data is off the chart.

438
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: Seventeen percent barrel rate, fifty percent hard hit rate. Yes,

439
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: the launch angle is pretty solid. And then you also have,

440
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: like you mentioned some of some of the downfalls with

441
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: Joe Adell. He has thirty five homers, he's only scored

442
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: fifty seven times. That lineup is not anything to write

443
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: home about. Mike Trout's gonna be a year older next year. Now,

444
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, Nato o'hapi. It's not a terrible team, but

445
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: it's not a team that you can rely like fifty

446
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: five homers over the last two years, it's one hundred

447
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: and eleven runs, Like there's nobody else to help him there.

448
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: If he's gonna score, it'll because he's driven himself in.

449
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: So you kind of have to look at the whole

450
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: picture here with Joe Adell and weigh the pros and cons.

451
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: I honestly top twenty five. As I said that, I'm like, now,

452
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: maybe that's a little bit rich if he's falling, Like,

453
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: did he go in the first eleven rounds for you guys,

454
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't think he did.

455
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't think he did. I don't think Joe Adell

456
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 3: went in the first eleven rounds.

457
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: That's one hundred and six sixty five picks. So maybe

458
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: he's like back end of the top one hundred. Maybe

459
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: I can be convinced there. Maybe I can be convinced.

460
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: And there's fifteen teams probably on average two or three

461
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 3: outfielders per team, so that's like a top forty five

462
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 3: something outfielder. Then I'm you know, then the prices, Yeah,

463
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: like I would expect once we resume that draft twelve round,

464
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 3: jo Adell will be picked rather quickly.

465
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that's probably the case. Interesting season

466
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: to follow and we'll see maybe he ends up with

467
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: a forty plus homer, hundred plus RB guy season. And

468
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: then once you hit that forty home run number, that's

469
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: kind of the magic number for people in drafts. They're

470
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: just like oh my god, forty home runs Anthony Santander

471
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: from this past season. But I don't want to talk

472
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: about Anthony Santander. Let's talk about something nice, which is

473
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: the Billy Wagner signed baseball that we are going to

474

Speaker 1: the channel on the podcast feed, we really do appreciate

486
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: all all of that support. Let's take a couple of

487
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: your questions here. Who's starting for the Dodgers today? Picked

488
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: up Shean thinking that he was starting. I don't believe

489
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: Shean is today today is listed as Glass now. I

490
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: believe it is Tyler Glass now pitching for the Dodgers

491
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: today unless I have missed something, but she and I mean,

492
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: he's still going to get the Rockies away from Coors

493
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. So if you pick him up,

494
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be cutting him because he's not pitching today.

495
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 1: I think that's still a pretty viable viable picked up.

496
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: There is Uri Prez a drop with Tyler Wells and

497
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: Luis Garcia available. Are you willing to move on from

498
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: Uri yet? Ryan?

499
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: I am willing to move on from here.

500
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 3: I think just at this point in the season, you

501
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 3: need to be cutthroat on how some of these guys look.

502
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: And eury Perez to me, does not look good right now.

503
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: And maybe that's just you know, we all know the

504
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: injury history with Ury Priz. Maybe he's just wearing down

505
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: at the.

506
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: End of the season.

507
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 3: And and does he even start the final week or

508
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: two season for the Marlins.

509
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: You don't know.

510
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: So I don't know. Tyler Wells, he's like a whip legend.

511
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 3: I love the walk grade. So if you're if this

512
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: is like a you know, rotisserie league or whatever, check

513
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 3: Joe where you're at in that category. Luis Garcia is

514
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 3: probably my favorite ad of in terms of faby yesterday

515
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: Luis Garcia, So I would. I would drop Uri Pres

516
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 3: for Louis Garcia, the Houston Astros Louis Garcia. There were

517
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 3: plenty of Angels Louis Garcia pickups that I saw yesterday,

518
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: which not great.

519
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: Not great this time of year. I get it. It's

520
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: like this a lot going on. Sundays are so busy

521
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: to see Garcia. You type it in, you click bit

522
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: and it can bite you. For sure. Tyler Wells does

523
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: have the Pirates this week. Luis Garcia has a two

524
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: star matchup where you'll start against my Blue Jays and

525
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: then go to Atlanta. So I honestly think they're all

526
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: pretty viable. If you can't sneak in Wells against the Pirates,

527
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: I'm not going to fight you on that. I think

528
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: that's that's a solid streaming opportunity as well. Twelve team

529
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: had to have points. Sodastrom, Manzarta or Rice. I've been

530
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: on the Ben Rice train. He's been really, really solid.

531
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: Manzardo's picked it up as well, but I'd have to

532
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: go with ben Rice here.

533
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: I would go with Ben Rice as well. Monzardo not

534
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: a bad backup. Cleveland gets six ridies this week, so

535
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: Manzarta should be locked in and have a pretty good week.

536
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jake Berger's available. Is he worth a pickup in

537
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: a deeper league? Maybe? I don't think in a standard

538
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: ten or twelve teamer.

539
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: Agreed deeper league.

540
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 3: I mean, Jake Berger has not been playing regularly at

541
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 3: least until the last few games, So you did that

542
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: automatically is a disqualifier. But yeah, I'm not I'm not

543
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: super stoked on on Jake Berger until he starts playing

544
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: every day.

545
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: Is Spencer Strider droppable? Man? Can you imagine getting at

546
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. He's facing the Cubs this week,

547
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: who haven't been amazing offensively. I'd prefer to not drop him,

548
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: but I also wouldn't blame you if you benched him.

549
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 3: Right and honestly, not even Strider any but he's droppable

550
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 3: at this point. It all depends on matchups, what you need,

551
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 3: if you're in a category league or what. But yeah,

552
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: like this has not been the Spencer Strider down the stretch,

553
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 3: and we know or we actually we don't know with

554
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,239
Speaker 3: the internal brace, just like how long term, how we

555
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: react to that. I think he's breaking down rest up

556
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 3: for next season.

557
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: Strider.

558
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what to make of him for

559
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: next year. Like there was a stretch, there was a

560
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: stretch where he looked pretty good. But overall the numbers

561
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: are awful. Four seventy eight FIP, he has a one

562
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: thirty nine whip, the strikeouts are twenty four percent. There

563
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: is a guy who had a thirty eight percent strikeout

564
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: rate when he debuted. His stuff is grading out below average. Yep,

565
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of him. I really don't.

566
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: I hope that he finishes off with a couple of

567
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: good starts, which will give me, you know, the nice

568
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: taste in the mouth heading into the offseason. But yeah,

569
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't mind dropping him. Honestly, the more

570
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: I think about it, as crazy as it feels, if

571
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: you if you got to move on, I would you

572
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: drop for Tyler well so that Pirates start? I think,

573
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: honestly at this point I might do it.

574
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: It's funny just thinking that same thing. It was like

575
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: comparing Strider to Wells and Luis Garcia. In my head,

576
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 3: with Strider, it's it is the Cubs, like you said,

577
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 3: But then it's next two starts would be at Washington

578
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: and then at Detroit, So I would I could see

579
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 3: you dropping Strider for a streamable Tyler Wells or a

580
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: two step Louis Garcia right now.

581
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I can too. Is ta Oscar droppable?

582
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: I haven't really been that tuned in on Taoscar's he been.

583
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: Has he been that cold?

584
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: He's been cold?

585
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: But the thing for me with like hitters versus pictures,

586
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 3: with hitters, you just never know when they're like tay

587
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: Oscar's really good. This isn't like a degraded like a

588
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: Spencer Strider where it's like a or Uri Perez where

589
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: they're like degraded versions of themselves right now, at least

590
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 3: in my opinion, Like I think with with good bats,

591
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 3: with good hitters like Oscar Hernandez, you just kind of

592
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: ride it out, take the bad with the good. At

593
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 3: the end of the day you will be happy that

594
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: you hopefully kept kept tay Oscar active. I have a

595
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 3: bunch of ta Oscar. I'm still rolling with them. You

596
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 3: just never know when it's gonna pop off with him.

597
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that lineup b like as much as they've

598
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: been struggling, if the Oscar had a weekend where he

599
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: had three homers and drove in seven. Nobody's gonna be

600
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: surprised by that. And that's exactly what happens, right when

601
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: you put him on your bench, if you even the

602
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: rest of us a service if you put him on

603
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: your bench. But I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it.

604
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: Who had the better comeback, Orioles versus the no hitter

605
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: that was crazy or the Bills last night? I think

606
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: I'd go with the Orioles. As much as the Bills

607
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: are impressive. That's my closest team to my hometown. That

608
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel for Yamamoto. Man. That was brutal.

609
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: That was brutal.

610
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am a tortured Bills fan.

611
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 3: That is my team. So I'm happy this morning. But

612
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 3: it's got to be the world. I cannot believe you

613
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: are one out away from a no hitter and yet.

614
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: You lose four to three like that is.

615
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 3: That is much more rare than a fifteen point comeback

616
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: in football. That happens semi regularly. So that was just

617
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 3: bonker stuff between the Dodgers and Orioles.

618
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: This weekend.

619
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: Shades of my childhood hero Roy Halliday and his second

620
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: career start eight and two thirds, no hit ball that

621
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: was broken up by a homer. We'll see if you

622
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: have a moto and have a holiday like career, wouldn't

623
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: shock me. Probably not to that level, but it wouldn't

624
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: shock me. Tanner, Scott Hoffman or Jose Ferrer. I think

625
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: it's Hoffman as much as I don't love it as

626
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: a Blue Jay fan, I think I think he's the

627
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: one that's most secure in the job here, still on

628
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: a good team. What do you think here?

629
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 3: I mean, Hoffin blows a ton of saves, but he

630
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 3: also gets a ton of chances and gets a ton

631
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 3: of saves. So I would go Hoffman, Ferrera, and then

632
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: tenor Scott last.

633
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agreed, let's keep it going here and do

634
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: a little three up and three down. Andrew Vaughn four

635
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: for five with a run and an RBI. You know,

636
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: he had really cooled off, but he's actually put together

637
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: a couple of good games recently. What do you think

638
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: Andrew vaugh here? Do you think the fresh start in

639
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: Milwaukee is exactly what he needed? Or did he just

640
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 1: get hot for a couple of weeks and we're going

641
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: to overreact to that forever?

642
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

643
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 3: I mean I guess leaving the White Sox can cure

644
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 3: a lot of ills that that that can help. Very

645
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: impressive season from from Andrew Vaughn, who I will admit

646
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: I was late to the party on Bubba was Bubba

647
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 3: was in on him early when we do our Lee

648
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 3: Fab previews over at Bubba and the Bloom and I

649
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 3: kind of gave him some crap for it, and I

650
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: was absolutely wrong. Career best barrel rate for Andrew Vaughn

651
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: up to thirteen percent, which is really good, and he's

652
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 3: not selling out for the carriages below twenty percent. Anytime

653
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 3: you have a double digit barrel rate like that and

654
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 3: a teen's strikeout rate, that is really good stuff. Milwaukee

655
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: obviously believes Andrew baugh They've basically held back Reeze Hoskins

656
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: from even returning because they know Vaughn is locked in there.

657
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm yeah, then you throw on the context

658
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 3: of leaving the White Sox really like what Andrew vaugh

659
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: did this year. He was also not drafted in our

660
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: eleven rounds of that Meatball draft as well.

661
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: First base is a gauntlet. First base is going to

662
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: be very hard to figure out at the top with

663
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: the Nailers and pass quantinos coming up, Devers will be

664
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: in the first base pool. Olsen like, it's gonna be

665
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: kind of tricky to figure out that, like five through

666
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: maybe fifteen range. Let's look out. A Lope is another

667
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: guy who's a little bit tricky for me to figure

668
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: out from a fantasy evaluation standpoint. You know they act

669
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: real life numbers ninety two WRC plus. You know the

670
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: ops is six ninety one, but fourteen homers, twelve steels,

671
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: seventy ribis. He's not killing you with the two forty

672
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: eight batting average. It's been a pretty decent year for

673
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: Auto Lopez. Any interest in him going forward in the

674
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: next year as a middle infield option, maybe potentially somebody

675
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: you'd start at second base? When do you think of

676
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: Outo Lopez? Because I kind of like him.

677
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of the Auto man. We call

678
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 3: him the bus driver on our show. He's he is

679
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 3: the big thing for me. He can compile, Like there

680
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: is a thing to being an everyday player on a

681
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 3: middling team. I'm not even gonna call the Miami a

682
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 3: bad team at this point. They've kind of turned things

683
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: around a little bit lately. But Ota Lopez plays every

684
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: single day. I think that is absolutely a skill. And

685
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 3: when you do that, if you can rack up I

686
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: know he was hurt for a little bit this season,

687
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 3: but still going to clips probably five hundred and fifty

688
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 3: played appearances with that il time. If you can rack

689
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 3: up plate appearances like that, it just sets your floor

690
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: so high. And Otto Lopez does not strike out his

691
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: for some pop. He can run like, just does a

692
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 3: little bit of everything, and I think that's a perfect

693
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: like middle infield kind of filler in twelve teamers that

694
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 3: you can totally bank on With Auto Lopez.

695
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he plays an excellent second base and short so

696
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: his playing time is secure. I do like Auto. I

697
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: do like Auto a lot. And I think he was

698
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: a Jay and traded from the Jay's at one point.

699
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: I forget who for or whatever, but interesting player, interesting

700
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: season he's had, and au Haaneo Suarez a couple of

701
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: home runs from him, And somebody said this the other

702
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: day on Twitter, you can always tell when au Haaneo

703
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: Suarez has a big day because they're not playing in Seattle,

704
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's probably pretty fair. Forty five

705
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: homers for the year, one hundred and nine ribies for him,

706
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: one thirty three WRC plus. Now he is a free agent.

707
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: You are not not a full blown like Mariners fan,

708
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: but you're you're kind of tuned in. Yeah, yeah. Do

709
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: you think that he goes back to Seattle in the offseason.

710
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: I don't.

711
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 3: He's already left Seattle once. I think he will do

712
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: it again. It's just it's just such a tough, tough

713
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: park to hit in. So I think it's a rental

714
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: of the Mariners acquired him as such. And maybe, yeah,

715
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: maybe he does. He's near the end of his career.

716
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Maybe you hein Yo.

717
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: Suarez just says, I want to chill here, But my

718
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: gut says he moves on and goes to a better

719
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: park and puts up numbers elsewhere.

720
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: Well, we won't complain about that for fancy purposes. He

721
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: is right pushing a fifty home run season, and he

722
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: has a forty nine home run year under his belt already,

723
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: and for the career, three hundred and twenty one homers

724
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: at age thirty three. He does this a couple more times.

725
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: I veu Annio Suarez enters the five hundred home run club,

726
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: that'd be pretty remarkable. He will not be doing that

727
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: in Seattle. To be sure Aaron gifts first time chatter.

728
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys who are coming in for the

729
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: first time. I would imagine that a lot of you

730
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: guys are probably thinking, like, oh, we're gonna be doing

731
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: football stuff in September, but no, we are still here

732
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: every Monday, Wednesday and Friday doing baseball stuff. And we

733
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: didn't have any football questions today. For the first time

734
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: we hopped on the stream. The last couple of times

735
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: it was Jacorey Krofsky, Merit and Ricky Piersoll and I'm

736
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: all confused.

737
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 3: Heard of any of these people, So, yeah, I don't know. Yeah,

738
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: I guess my bad for even bringing up the bills,

739
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: but I don't know.

740
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: There was the question about like the comeback, that's right

741
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: prompted now that I mean, people kind of expect some

742
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: football content here, but we are here to bring you

743
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: the baseball goodies. But let's talk about the downs. Though.

744
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: These guys did not bring you the baseball goodies. Yesterday

745
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: Joey Wentz two and a third eight eurn runs on

746
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: eight hits. He didn't expect to be getting the start,

747
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: and this was like he was thrown into the fire

748
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: because they pushed back Strider by holy crap, eight Earn

749
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: runs on eight hits, and it killed the potential two

750
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: start week for him for next week. So not cool

751
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: at all, Braves. Charlie Morton three innings, three and runs,

752
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: four heads and three walks. The Tigers have not at

753
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: all gotten what they thought they were getting at the deadline,

754
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: but they've kind of gotten what they probably should have

755
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: expected everything considered with Charlie Morton, then Kai Wai Tang

756
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: this guy. I do a starting pitcher chart, and I

757
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: see this guy's name pop up every time, and every

758
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: time I go to write his name down, the numbers

759
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: seem to be worse than the previous start. He did

760
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: strike out eight, but he allowed four and runs three

761
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: hits and walk five. I don't know why the Giants

762
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: are rolling guy out. I really don't, because they're a

763
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: team that has like some chance of going to the postseason. Still,

764
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what this guy I don't.

765
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, Bryan. It's just maybe the worst pitcher

766
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. To be honest, I don't be too cruel.

767
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: He's just he's awful, really awful.

768
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: Your your guy did he did strike out eight with

769
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: no walks. It was in core, so you know you

770
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: gotta like that. But yeah, I don't like he's got

771
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: a five walk game. Tang has a against the Pod.

772
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 3: I'm just looking through his game, like, had a four

773
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 3: walk game with no strikeouts. Maybe that one's sticking in

774
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 3: your crass as worst pitcher ever.

775
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: But maybe.

776
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't go quite that far.

777
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't really know either what to do

778
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: with this guy.

779
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: So I am leaving Tang alone.

780
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm being a little cruel. But seven fifty four, he's

781
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: got a one to seventy six. Swip the numbers, blow

782
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: the service a little bit better. Maybe I'm being a

783
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: little bit too harsh. You'll probably win the cy Young

784
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: next year, now that I've started flapping my gums.

785
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: Doubtful.

786
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: Doubtful, pretty doubtful. Let's go to the injuries. There's some

787
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: not nice things today on the injury report. Trade Turner

788
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: right hamstring strain, will undergo an MRI today. He's been fantastic.

789
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: He's having arguably the best year of his career. Yeah,

790
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: certainly one of the two or three best years he's

791
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: ever put up. This one. We're gonna just have to

792
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the results of the MRI. Bobby

793
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: Wood Junior has missed a couple of consecutive games now

794
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: with back spasms. Any worry about Bobby Witt. Let's say

795
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the green light, are you willing to

796
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: sit him in like a Monday to Thursday lineup context?

797
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: It'd be a tough call, but yeah, if in backspasms

798
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 3: can be tricky, I just want to sit him, get

799
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: it right. If Wit is not in the first lineup

800
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: of the week for Kansas City, I you know, it's

801
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 3: not an auto sit, but if you've got any other alternative,

802
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 3: I think you roll with it. Trade Turner, it feels

803
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: like the writing on the wall, this might be it

804
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: for the season for him, just the way that like

805
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 3: the quotes, at least for the regular season. Maybe maybe

806
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 3: Philly tries to get him right for the postseason. Just

807
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 3: kind of reading some of the things that Trey Turner

808
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: was saying after the game yesterday, it did not sound promising,

809
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

810
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 1: That's not good. But going back to Kansas City, they

811
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: did get some promising news with Cole Reagan's He struck

812
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: out seven over three innings of one run ball in

813
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: his latest triple A rehab start got up to only

814
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: forty five pitches, so he'll probably need at least one

815
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: more before coming back. I'd imagine that there are leagues

816
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: where Cole Reagan's has been cut free at this point.

817
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: Would you be willing to throw a couple bucks on

818
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: him this weekend in FAB or did you yesterday in

819
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: FAB in the anticipation of his return.

820
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: I did not, And I wouldn't like throw you know,

821
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 3: whatever money we all have left in FAB or whatever.

822
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 3: I wouldn't go crazy over Cole Reagan's Like, yeah, he's awesome,

823
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 3: but you're gonna realistically get right if we just assume

824
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 3: one more rehab start, maybe he goes from forty five

825
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 3: to sixty pitches. Yeah, then he debuts, maybe you're getting

826
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 3: threes two to three starts of probably not Cole Reagan's

827
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 3: going ninety pitches. Like so, I just I don't the

828
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 3: win potential is pretty low, Like, yes, it is Cole Reagan's.

829
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: You gotta like the skills there, but I wouldn't expect

830
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 3: much in terms of like volume of strikeouts and wins

831
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: for Cole Raigan. I just don't think there's enough time

832
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 3: left in the season.

833
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's what twenty games one more rehabs are like,

834
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: at best case, it's two starts. That probably is not

835
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: a fully stretched out Cole Reagan. So maybe he doesn't

836
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: even make it five And like one.

837
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 3: Of those starts is the last week of the season,

838
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 3: which why even you know, so.

839
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they might not even throw him. They might not

840
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: even throw him at that point, I mean, from his perspective,

841
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: from the team's perspective, they probably want to see him

842
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: back on the major league mound before the end of

843
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: the year. But if they see that once and it

844
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: looks all right, if that last start of the year

845
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: game one sixty one or whatever, like, maybe it's not

846
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: worth it, which would be kind of a killer if

847
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: you're in a head to head league that goes all

848
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: the way to the end. Yeah, we mentioned backs earlier.

849
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: Christian Yealiz. This has been the thing with him forever.

850
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: He's now missed five consecutive games due to a nagging

851
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: back injury, and this is kind of the reason why

852
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about investing in Yellis for

853
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: next year. Even with as good as he's been, here's

854
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: a kicker. Nineteen games in the outfield this year, so

855
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: maybe he is one short in his ut only for

856
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: next season as well. What do you think, which.

857
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 2: Would be absolutely brutal. You want to you want to

858
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: watch that. This is tough.

859
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 3: It is a yearly thing for Christian Yelich, but he

860
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 3: did have surgery to hopefully nip it in the bud.

861
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: This past offseason and obviously.

862
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, no back surgery is a guarantee that

863
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 3: it's just gonna go away. So obviously this is uh,

864
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 3: this is not great news for Christian Yelich, certainly for

865
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 3: this season, but it's also going to be in the

866
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 3: back of my head before I clicked that draft button

867
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 3: on Christian Yelich next year.

868
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he's been so great when he's been

869
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,959
Speaker 1: out now, like twenty seven homers, fifteen steals, he's hitting

870
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: two seventy eight, ninety two ribies, eighty two runs. But

871
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna be thirty four pretty soon, and I think

872
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: that's a little bit risky depending on the price. Right

873
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: if if this little bit of miss time potentially combined

874
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 1: with a ut only designation, if that cuts the price,

875
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean not an a half, but if he's going out

876
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: like pick a hundred or something. Okay, if he's a

877
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: top fifty pick, I think I'm gonna have to tap.

878
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: Out Yellich or Adele. Since we talked about shoe Adele

879
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 2: at the top. It's just an interesting thought.

880
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'd go Yellich, but I'm probably lower

881
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 3: on Adele than most.

882
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: People go Yelich. But if Yelich, like let's say Yelich

883
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: doesn't return this year, then I think I would have

884
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: to go a Deel. I hope he does return, and

885
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: I hope they just, you know, just have him be

886
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: a defensive replacement for one inning in the ninth not

887
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: that they would be likely to do that, but I'm

888
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: being selfish here from a fantasy point. Get to twenty, yeah,

889
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: just get to twenty, man, Just get to twenty. You know,

890
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: we don't need to have you competing for DH reps

891
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,479
Speaker 1: next year with the show Hayes and the shore Bers

892
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: in the fantasy world. Daniel Palencia don't like this one.

893
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: Could end up missing time with shoulder tightness. He has

894
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: been the Cub's closer for pretty much the entire season.

895
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't know where they would even go here. Maybe

896
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: it's Andrew Kiddridge. Maybe it's teal Bar, maybe it's Pomerants.

897
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really have a great feel on

898
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: what the Cubs would do if Polentcia has to miss

899
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of time. Is there even a pickup that's

900
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 1: worth making considering how they've looked recently.

901
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: Right that I mean?

902
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 3: And that's the thing. And is it even going to

903
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: be one guy? Are they gonna kind of circle around?

904
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: So I've got plenty in a few leagues. Didn't drop him,

905
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 3: but added added Brad Keller in labor. I my hunch

906
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 3: is like it's either Brad Keller or Andrew Kittridge, but

907
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 3: we don't know or will it again?

908
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 2: Will it even be one guy? So it's tough.

909
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 3: I think definitely if you have Palencia, look for backup

910
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: options because shoulder tightness on September eighth, Like, that's, uh,

911
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 3: that's that's not ideal for a return.

912
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: No, that's we probably all know the way that's heading,

913
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: so act accordingly. Maybe don't cut him yet, but it's

914
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: not looking good Byron Buckson was removing the game on

915
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: Sunday with a knee intusion after being hit by a pitch.

916
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: There's always something. He's made it through most of the

917
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: year healthy Buckston, but there's always there's always something with him,

918
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: And will you buy back into him next year expecting

919
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: another healthy season or kind of just take what you've

920
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: gotten this year and tap out.

921
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you know me, man, I draft like a

922
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: hundred year old man.

923
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 3: That just that just avoids anybody who's ever been injured

924
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 3: in the history of time. So I voided Byron Buxton

925
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 3: every season. I don't like. I he the heck of

926
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 3: a season and that he can stay healthy. I'm not

927
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: touching Byron Buckston next year. Again, maybe to my fault

928
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 3: in the way that I old man draft, but whatever.

929
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: No, I think that's that's totally fair. I mean, Buckston,

930
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: you might get ten games out of him in a

931
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: given season. You might get on one hundred and thirty

932
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: hundred whatever he's done this year, which has been very good.

933
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: But how many times has he done that in his career.

934
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: Max Munsey is expected to be activated from the al

935
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies. Was a pretty

936
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: sneaky pickup if you were able to get him over

937
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks for a couple bucks. I

938
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: know I did in one or two leagues, and that

939
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: should be nice because since he's gotten the I forget

940
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: if it was the lasick or new contacts or something.

941
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: They fixed his eyes in some way in the middle

942
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: of the season. He had been able to see for years,

943
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: apparently still hitting thirty home runs. But now Max Mounsey

944
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: does seem like a guy who could potentially even hit

945
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: for a higher batting average, maybe a couple more homers,

946
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: and in that lineup, I'll be in a bit of

947
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: a struggling lineup and still somebody that you should be

948
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: you should be sticking in there. This week. I mentioned

949
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: it a little bit earlier, but Stryder was scratched from

950
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: his start on Sunday. Apparently it's not injury related, but

951
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: I do want to keep a close eye on this,

952
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: just considering the way that Stryder's season has gone. Samuel

953
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: Basaio had to miss Sunday's game after taking a foul

954
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: tip off of the right hand. He added Tosio right away,

955
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people did just based

956
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: on the hype. It's been a little bit rough to

957
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: this point. He's saying two four through sixteen games, a

958
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: couple homers. Where do you think he falls among catchers

959
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: next year because the catcher pool is so deep. We

960
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: got the Teals and the Baldwins. Augustine Ramirez is of

961
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: the world coming into the pool. Is he a basio

962
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: a top fifteen catcher, you think, top ten, top fifteen?

963
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: Where does he lay for you?

964
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 3: My guests, catcher is is pretty deep and pretty good

965
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 3: again next season, my guess would be like ten to

966
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 3: fifteen catcher for Basio, and I feel like he will

967
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 3: end up nowhere in that range. He will either be

968
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: like top five by the end of twenty twenty six.

969
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: Or in wherever they played Triple A. So nor think so.

970
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: It's just a wide range of outcomes for Basiah.

971
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: The Orioles are hoping it goes better than their previous

972
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: top prospect catcher, which is yes, great at the moment.

973
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: Previous couple yea, yeah, well, I guess Weiders was kind

974
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: of I guess he kind of panned out but maybe

975
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: not really.

976
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 3: Like supposed to be elite, elite, hall of fame type guy,

977
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: and he was.

978
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 2: He was decent, but not what they wanted.

979
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee saying, is catcher deeper? How we all just

980
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: lowered our standards, which I think is a reasonable question.

981
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: But like when I first started playing fantasy baseball, there

982
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: was like four catchers that you'd feel pretty good about,

983
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: and everybody else was garbage. And now you got Raleigh Goodman, Langeliers,

984
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: the Contreres Brothers. Wilson will probably lose, and he will

985
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: lose it, will Smith, Salvey, ben Rice, Augustinermirez, Kirk Baldwin, Jiner, Diaz, Real, Mudo, Wells,

986
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: Jeffers Moreno like this. I haven't even gotten to a

987
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: Hoppy and Kyle Teel yet. Like it's it's deep. I

988
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: think it is deep, especially if you're in a one

989
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: catcher league, there is no reason to take a catcher

990
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: until your last pick. I think this year is a

991
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: really good year for that. If you're in a two

992
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: catcher league is a different story. But the pool is

993
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: a lot deeper than I think it's personally ever been.

994
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: Is that fair to say that the catcher pool is

995
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: deeper than ever?

996
00:41:59,080 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so.

997
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: I do think like once you get past like fifteen,

998
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 3: I'm just playing in a bunch of fifteen team leagues

999
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 3: with two catchers. Like the bottom half of the catcher

1000
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 3: pool is still really bad. But yes, you do have like

1001
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 3: ten to fifteen really good catchers and full degree if

1002
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 3: you're in a one catcher league, like just the spread

1003
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,439
Speaker 3: is not there from one through fifteen to where like, yeah,

1004
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 3: I would just wait and grab whoever's still available, because

1005
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 3: they're all pretty pretty good.

1006
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: At that point. Yeah, once you get into like the

1007
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: fifteen through twenty five range, it flattens out a lot,

1008
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: Michael saying catcher is a kicker of baseball. We just

1009
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: have one because we need one. You and Jake Seely,

1010
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: I think would probably get along very very well. Peeker

1011
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: Armstrong could potentially return to the Cubs lineup on Monday

1012
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: for covering from a bruise right knee. They gave him

1013
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: a bit of a mental reset last week. Let's say

1014
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: he's back in the lineup. Would you even put him

1015
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: in the lineup right now? Or is he somebody that's

1016
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: worthy of being on the bench.

1017
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 3: I yes, we were a getting We were fielding questions, Bubba,

1018
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: and I do I drop Pete krow Armstrong like in

1019
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 3: twelve Teamers? And I guess not? But like, what has

1020
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 3: he actually done for you? Like the in the second

1021
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 3: half the plate approach is just is just horrendous. I

1022
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 3: don't know, And I feel like this is a different

1023
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: thing than like a Taoskar Hernandez, who we were asked

1024
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 3: about earlier, like Tayo. I think we know who Taskar is.

1025
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 3: We as a track record, like you just roll with him, Yeah, Pca,

1026
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, man. I think if you've got other

1027
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 3: good options, I would. I could certainly see benching PCA.

1028
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 3: Right now, he's just not doing anything and we've got

1029
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 3: three weeks out of the season and it's put up

1030
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 3: or shut up time.

1031
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that draft price for next year. At once I thought, well,

1032
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: he's probably a first round. There were people, i think

1033
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the or middle of the year

1034
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: who were like he might go one on one in

1035
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: some leagues. And then it's like, well, maybe he's a

1036
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: first rounder, and then it was maybe he's a second rounder.

1037
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: Now it's like, well, man, a three four turn i'd consider.

1038
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: And it's just like every week it seems to get

1039
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 1: a little bit worse for him. I think he's probably

1040
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: a third rounder. I think that's probably where he'll end up.

1041
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: Does that seem right?

1042
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 3: Seems about seems about right. I'm not doing it, but

1043
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 3: that seems about right.

1044
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, must take a couple more questions before we send

1045
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 1: you guys on your way today reallyppreciate all the chatter

1046
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: in the chat. It is very much appreciated. Add Kenley Janssen.

1047
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: The fact that Kenley Jansen is available to add is

1048
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: kind of shocking. He's been very good this year two

1049
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: eighty three e ra A. He has twenty six saves. Yeah,

1050
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 1: if you need saves, then Minnesota stinks. Seattle pretty decent.

1051
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you need saves, that's a that's a

1052
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: solid ad. Joe Adell over Yellich. What else is this

1053
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: guy to do to prove his breakout is real? Look,

1054
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a hard stance here. I don't

1055
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: think there's like you're crazy for picking either one. Yelich

1056
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: has been great. Like Yelich, if you look at Player

1057
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: Raiders this season, he's like a top six outfielder top

1058
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: he is ranked as as a ninth ranked outfielder according

1059
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: to fangrabs. He's been great. You know, I wouldn't fault

1060
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: you going either way, but I think that it is

1061
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: a worthy discussion. Sit one Joe adel Ramon Loriano or

1062
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: Riley Green And that's tough. I think that is tough.

1063
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 3: I mean, Lorian, it is just on fire that's a

1064
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 3: good option to have. I would look at who we're

1065
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 3: really who whatever the worst matchup is amongst those I

1066
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 3: don't have it off the top of my head, but whoever,

1067
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 3: whoever's got the worst matchup as picture of posing.

1068
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 2: Those guys, I would I would sit this week.

1069
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Green's facing the Yankees. Lorion are starting off

1070
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,959
Speaker 1: with the Yankees, and then it'll be at Miami. San

1071
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: Diego is at home for Cincy and then Colorado and

1072
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: they play seven games. So I don't think I would

1073
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:27,720
Speaker 1: be sitting Loriano and then Joe Adell the Great radio

1074
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: here seven games also seven righties. I feel like this

1075
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: might be Riley Green because.

1076
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really just that extra game could be here,

1077
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 3: which four actually, you've got pretty much built in four

1078
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 3: extra played appear for fewer played appearances for Riley Green,

1079
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, i'd bench.

1080
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 2: I'd bench Green on that.

1081
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: Green's also gonna face rodn I'm not one hundred percent

1082
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: sure about his lefty lefty numbers, you know, Jansen John

1083
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: Gary Prez later in the week. I shouldn't be putting

1084
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: Chanson junkin that group. What am I talking about here?

1085
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: That's where that's that's fhip casting. That's FIP casting.

1086
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 2: Right, or Urie Perez for that matter, but that's maybe

1087
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 2: a different debate.

1088
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: But Beavers or PCA next year, it's still PCA. I

1089
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: like Beavers, but it's it's definitely PCA. Would you feel

1090
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: okay starting Contrellers with the suspension or start Kyle Teal

1091
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: if you're in a weekly league. I don't have any

1092
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: problem starting Teal, but I honestly wouldn't mind doing that

1093
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: even if Contreres was healthy. Teals went great, but I

1094
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: think Wilson will be back Tuesday or Wednesday.

1095
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 3: He misses one game this week. I believe those four

1096
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 3: game suspension. I believe he missed Friday through Sunday. So

1097
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 3: I would go Wilson Contreras. But not really a bad

1098
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 3: decision there. Kyle Teal has certainly turned things around after

1099
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 3: initially struggling. The White Socks get six games and the

1100
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 3: Cardinals get six games as well, so you are getting

1101
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 3: one fewer game. Actually I don't know. I mean the

1102
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 3: Cardinals get they they have to face Brian wou George Kirby, Logan,

1103
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 3: Gilbert Miserowski. Maybe I go Teal it's an easier schedule.

1104
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. The White Sox have Tampa's pitching houser who's

1105
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: come back to Earth, Pepio and Seymour, who I like.

1106
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: But then they get to face by b Messek, and I.

1107
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: Think I'd go Tell. I think i'd go Teal matchups

1108
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 2: are a lot easier.

1109
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: I think I would as well. Last question for the

1110
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 1: show picked to this week bo versus Yankees Elder two step,

1111
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: Brios two step and Messic. I'm going Bayo and Messick.

1112
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like I don't trust Elders two step and

1113
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 1: Brios has been awful for a while.

1114
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 3: Brios, you just I mean, you're a Jays fan, you

1115
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 3: know you just never you never know what you're gonna

1116
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 3: get with those brings, Like it doesn't matter what the

1117
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 3: matchups are. I agree, I would go Bayo Messick, Like

1118
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 3: those two two steps could be double double damage as

1119
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 3: opposed to double winds exactly.

1120
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: You know you're getting double the the awfulness in your

1121
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: lineup you. I was looking at stuff numbers the other day,

1122
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: Jose Brios. I know it's not everything, but I do

1123
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: like to look at it as a shorthand Jose Brios

1124
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: is the second worst stuff plus in all the land.

1125
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: This year, but behind Zach Lettel, who's actually having a

1126
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: decent year. But I just don't trust for Rios at

1127
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: this point. Guys though, that is going to wrap it

1128
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,560
