19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: the peanuts and the Crackerjacks go yesterday was the day

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: about pitching in the major leagues. I think we can

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: agree so many pitching performances to get to, and I

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: think we have to start with Jacob deGrom. And it's

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: a good thing you're here for this one, because I

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: am going to bow down to you. Joe Alrico is

25
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: the better Joe. I was warn torn or war torn

26
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: I should say, or warren and torn or whatever from

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: years and years of Jacob deGrom where I just couldn't

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't get there again. And Jacob de Gram as

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: the season has gone on, has been terrific. He almost

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: no hit the Orioles yesterday. When I saw the no

31
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: hitter alert, all I give thinking was like, oh, please

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: give up a hit. I don't want to see him

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: trying to go to one hundred and twenty pitches just

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 1: to get no hitter. That would make you really uncomfortable.

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: But he moves to eight and two with a two

36
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: zero eight era. What'd you think of Jacob de Grom's performance?

37
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: You had to be loving the fact that you were

38
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: scheduled today on this show.

39
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: It warms my heart.

40
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: It warms my heart whenever I get to talk about

41
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: Jacob deGrom but especially after that. I think it was

42
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: perfect through six and I was getting the NUTI vacations

43
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: and thinking please God. Like that, I was kind of

44
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: torn myself because I don't want to see him throw

45
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty pitches. Part of my whole reason

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: for targetting Jacob Degram this year was that he's going

47
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: to try and.

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: Keep himself more healthy, and he has.

49
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: You know, he hasn't as much been going up over

50
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: one hundred miles an hour, and they haven't been stretching

51
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: him too much with the pitch counts. But if he

52
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: threw a perfect game yesterday, that would have been pretty

53
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: damn cool. But I'm also not complaining about seven shutout

54
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: innings with one hit.

55
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been brilliant.

56
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: He's the number five starting pitcher for the season, and

57
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: to date he's been more valuable than both Zach Wheeler

58
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: and Paul Skiing.

59
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: So I'm feeling pretty good. Joe.

60
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul Skins when you get to him in just

61
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: a second. But first, in that same game, we got

62
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: to get to Jacob Mizerowski, who adds eight strikeouts just

63
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: two hits. That's what now? Was that four hits and

64
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: three starts is that where he's at right now.

65
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: I think three hits. Three hits, all.

66
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: Right, he's three because you want to give up one

67
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: of the other one too. It's he's clearly regressing, clearly,

68
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, every start, next thing, you know, he'll give

69
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: up four hits or five hits in a game. What

70
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? But this was terrific to watch,

71
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: really funn you know, Misroowski, you know his the height,

72
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: It just feels like the ball is just getting up

73
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: all guys really quick.

74
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: You know.

75
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: It feels like he is, you know, like Randy Johnson was,

76
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: where he's just kind of reaching out towards home plate

77
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: and it feels like the balls is jumping on guys

78
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: and they have no idea right now. But he was

79
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: absolutely terrific. He outdo with Paul Skeans, who had his

80
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: worst start of his career arguably four runs, four innings

81
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: for him. He had one really bad inning. But he's

82
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: sitting at four wins still, and I keep saying the

83
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: same thing, which is he can't win Cy Young's before

84
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: wins and I don't know if he can get to

85
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: double digits on the Pirates this year. I just don't know.

86
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: So it was interesting to see Paul Skeans be human,

87
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: but it was even more interesting, at least to me,

88
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: to see Jacob Mizroowski be more than human yesterday.

89
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: He's absolutely brilliant, you know.

90
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: Stuff is something that is kind of polarizing to some people,

91
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: but like one twenty five is an eye popping number

92
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: that is like would be at the top of the

93
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: leaderboard if we're talking about qualified starters. I worry a

94
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: little bit about the walk grate eventually coming back to

95
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: bite him. It's always been like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen percent

96
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: in the minors, so that's something I do want to

97
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: keep an eye on.

98
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: But he is absolutely brilliant. I'm you know, I just worry.

99
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: A little bit about the Brewers just because of Henderson

100
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: and how they treated him. I wonder if they're just

101
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: gonna take the reins off and let him just pitch

102
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: the rest of the season. And it's kind of a

103
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: debate amongst people about like where should Mizerowski slot in

104
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: the rest of season rankings. But I've seen him as

105
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: high as top twenty five in some people's list, and

106
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: it's kind of hard to argue it based on what

107
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: we've seen.

108
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: You know, he's been terrific. He actually after you esterday

109
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: start moved to the number one in the Rookie of

110
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: the Year and the nationally too, by the way, which

111
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: is pretty stunning, which honestly, I kind of feel like

112
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: I had mentioned it on a couple shows that I

113
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: was on in the recent weeks where you know, people

114
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: were asking about Drake Baldwin and August didn't mirrors. I'm like, no,

115
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a catcher, and it's certainly not

116
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna be either of those guys. They've gotten kind of,

117
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, colder as the season goes on. And I said,

118
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: Miserowski's really interesting. You know, at the time, I think

119
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: he was ten or twelve to one. Now he's minus

120
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: one twenty. This might be the last time you see

121
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: value on it, dude, because I'm looking at it, Joe

122
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: and Bubba Chandler, We're not gonna see Matt Shaw isn't

123
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: doing anything Dylan Cruz has done. Like where else is

124
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: it coming from? To me? This might be the last time.

125
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: In fact, as I'm talking about it, as I'm talking

126
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: myself through this, I'm betting on it. That's what I'm doing.

127
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: You can see me looking off to the side. I'm

128
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: just gonna take it because I think I minus won

129
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: twenty whatever. I'll put a couple bucks on it and

130
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: see where it goes. I just think at this point

131
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: that's it, like the value is gone, because if he

132
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: has another three or four starts, this award is gonna

133
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: run away for him. Max Fried another good start for him.

134
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: He gave up one unearned run, he walked one. Seven

135
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: strikeouts again, Just Steller against the Reds, Nick Pavetta a

136
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: great performance ten strikeouts, and Joe Ryan, Oh, Joe Ryan,

137
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: eight strikeouts beat the Mariners. So my bets all went

138
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: up in flames yesterday. But out of all these guys,

139
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: he didn't have the highest strikeout totally yesterday. It was

140
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: you say, Kakuchi with twelve k's against the Red Sox.

141
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: So Joe, these were some massive strikeout performances. Which one

142
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: of these stuck out to you the most yesterday?

143
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: Well, Joe Ryan is somebody that I have been really

144
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: really intrigued by. And it's not just with this season,

145
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: it's looking back over the last couple of years, but

146
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: how underrated Joe Ryan really is in terms of strikeout

147
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: minus walk percentage over the last since the start of

148
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, only Toreak Schooble and Chris Sale do

149
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: a better job in terms of striking out batters and

150
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: keeping them off base with the free passes.

151
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: Joe Ryan Is is an elite pitcher.

152
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 3: But you say Kakuchi might be the guy that we

153
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 3: need to hone in on here, because he was pretty

154
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: much unroosterable as of three or four weeks ago just

155
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: because of that whip, Like the era was at two

156
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 3: nine to five and the whip was at like one

157
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: p fifty six. And since then he has completely turned

158
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 3: things around. And I was really surprised. Yesterday I had

159
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: a couple of people asking sid start questions about Kakuchi,

160
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: and I was saying to sit him because the Red

161
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: Sox are really good against left handed pitching. So that

162
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: one took me by a surprise.

163
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: Sure they loved you, Oh yeah, sure, you're.

164
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: A very big fan, big fan.

165
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: But you know what, he Kokuchi a month in change

166
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: ago was a sell. The strikeout right was down, the

167
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: walk rate was up, the expected ERA was higher than era.

168
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: Whatever he's tweaked or figured out here, obviously it's working.

169
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: Question here from Jerry will they trade to Grom I

170
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: don't think so, not right now. I mean, they are

171
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: only two games out of the wild Card right now,

172
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: and the Central is terrible. They're still seven and a

173
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: half games out of the West. I just don't think

174
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it. I really don't. I think that

175
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna hang in this thing. E have Aldi's back, too,

176
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: so you know, I think they're gonna try to pitch

177
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: their way out of this and somehow just backdoor their

178
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: way into the playoffs. Joe, do you see it differently,

179
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: because I just think they're gonna ride this one out there.

180
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got if they fall apart in July, okay,

181
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: but I don't necessarily see that happening.

182
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: I think it would be pretty hard to find a

183
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: trade partner. So he's still got a couple of years

184
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: left on the contract, and as bullish as I was

185
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: for this season, I'm not sure what my evaluation is

186
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: gonna be like of de Grom for the next couple

187
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: of years. He turned thirty seven last week. Thirty eight

188
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: and thirty nine year old Jacob de Grom making thirty

189
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: seven million. That's a lot of good goal I don't

190
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: know if their teams are gonna want to pay that

191
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: for a guy who may throw ten starts for them,

192
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: so you know, I'll know.

193
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: The team, the Mets. The Mets will pay.

194
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: That would be That would be something that's interesting because

195
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: they have been Like when I was on here last time, Joe,

196
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: we were talking about like who's going to come out

197
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: of the rotation?

198
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: Who about?

199
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: Now it's like there's three, three friggin spots in the rotation.

200
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: So maybe they do go out and get a Jacob

201
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: de Grom. But thirty seven million dollars a year for

202
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: a guy at his age is a huge, huge risk

203
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: because a Mets fan, would you like to see it?

204
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the windows. Now you got Alonso, you got Lindor,

205
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: you got Soto's tearing the cover off the ball. You

206
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: give me Jacob de Grom in a short series, you know,

207
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: especially because it's back home. I just think that it

208
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: would really be a huge igniter to the fan base.

209
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

210
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: And look, Uncle Stevie doesn't care about money. I think

211
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: we've proven that already. He just does not care. He

212
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: gives zero FS. So I'm okay with it if he's

213
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: okay with it. Edward Cabrera another good star from him.

214
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: He was mentioned on our buy video earlier this week,

215
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: and again I hope you did because it was another

216
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: tremendous star for him. He's probably gonna be out there

217
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: in the trade streets as well. Five or third yadings,

218
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: I would be out there trying to acquire him. Six strikeouts,

219
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Drew rash said, shut out the Royals over five innings.

220
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Now I want to talk about this start, So they

221
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: meet the Royals. He's six wins now in seven decisions.

222
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: He is a two four five VRA on the season.

223
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: He was pulled though, after five innings with just sixty

224
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: two pitches. That's the lowest pitch count in any start

225
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: this season for Rashmsen. So what do you make of

226
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: that getting pulled so early? A guy understand last year

227
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: worked out of the bullpen too, and Rasmussen has been

228
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: a guy who's been absolute godsend for fantasy rotations. But

229
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: what does the second half look like for rasmusin as

230
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: the workload starts to pile up?

231
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 3: Well, I think part of this is that the Rays

232
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: are just a very frustrating team to roster pitchers and

233
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: players in general line because of you know, Rays are

234
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 3: gonna ray and all that type of stuff. They will

235
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: do things that are frustrating, whether it's bullpen usage, platooning,

236
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: or sometimes with starting pitching duration in terms of a game.

237
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: The thing with Rasmussen where it doesn't bother me so

238
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 3: much is that he's had a couple of elbow surgeries,

239
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 3: a couple of arm surgeries, so I think that they

240
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: are just being very, very careful. We're exactly at the

241
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: halfway point and he's at eighty four innings, so he's

242
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: pacing out to one hundred and seventy innings. Maybe he

243
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: goes slightly under that with them trying to keep him healthy,

244
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: but I could still see Rasmussen getting to know another

245
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: seventy plus innings rest of season, and maybe it just

246
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: comes with five six inning outings and they're not going

247
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 3: to push him. But I think he's still going to

248
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: be incredibly valuable. I worry a little bit in that

249
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: ballpark in the summer months, but they did kind of

250
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 3: front load their home schedule to avoid a lot of

251
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 3: that heat in Tampa, So I think Rasmussen is fine.

252
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: If somebody is worried about this, I wouldn't mind throwing

253
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 3: an offer at them.

254
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: Well, Welch is gone and he didn't believe in Jacob

255
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: Lopez in the last two starts. Maybe ju Urico does,

256
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: cause he just blanked the Tigers for seven innings now,

257
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: so I get it. He doesn't throw real hard. I

258
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: understand twenty one strikeouts in his last nineteen innings, though

259
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: in the last three starts, I don't know, Joe. I

260
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a hot topic on waiver wires.

261
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: I think Lopez is going to be a very trendy

262
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: pick up this weekend. I can understand why people weren't

263
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: buying it after the first start. After the second start,

264
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: people kind of go, well, you know whatever. Now the

265
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: third start against the top I think people will buy

266
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: in now and buying hard.

267
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

268
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: That was kind of the big test, was going up

269
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: against the high powered offense. Houston has been okay, you know,

270
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: pretty decent this year, but he'd also kind of beat

271
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: up on Kansas City, beat up on Baltimore, Minnesota teams

272
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: that have been you know, kind of varying degrees of success.

273
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: But detroit'sp top tier offense. So seven shoutout innings against

274
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: them is the most encouraging thing we've seen from Lopez.

275
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: I'm starting to buy into it. I don't know that

276
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: I am fully bought in where I'm going to be throwing,

277
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: you know, ten percent of my fab at him or

278
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: anything like that. But I think that he's a really,

279
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: really solid arm. I'm just trying to look ahead to

280
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: his next start. It looks like it will be at

281
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: Tampa next week. So he's got at Tampa and then

282
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: versus San Francisco. So at Tampa is going to be

283
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: another test because that ballpark, with that lineup over the

284
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 3: last month in June, Tampa's been the number one offense

285
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: in baseball. So I kind of lean towards sitting him

286
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: and wanting him to prove it another time out again.

287
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't fault to anybody for starting him at

288
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: this point.

289
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: All right, one more note, actually two more nos on pitchers.

290
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: Yes's all pitching today. At the headlines, Mac Sureser returned.

291
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: I almost got the lines. I said, four and two

292
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: thirds three runs. He went five innings, three runs, so

293
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: pretty close, pretty close there. What'd you make of the

294
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: sures A return to the Toronto rotation yesterday?

295
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: You know, I was kind of encouraged and kind of

296
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: not at the same time. He struck out the side

297
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: in the first inning that also did feature you know, you.

298
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: Got a frozen Joe and it's not me. It's not me.

299
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: For ones, Rico is frozen. I can hear you find

300
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: but the problem is you're frozen. So we'll get Joe

301
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: Rico back in just a second. Let him come out

302
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: of there, and in the meantime, we're going to talk

303
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: about another start that was pretty awful. There's Joe Rico.

304
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: He's back now. So Joe Rico finish up Max Surezer

305
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: and then we're going to move on to another picture

306
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: that I think is droppable now across the board.

307
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: So sures are.

308
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: It was kind of encouraging. The three walks not what

309
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: I really want to see. He did strike out the

310
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: side in the first and then only had one strike

311
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: out the rest of the way. But considering it was

312
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: his first start back, you know, three year and runs

313
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: in five innings, it could have gone a lot worse

314
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: for Max Scherzer, so I was pretty encouraged. His next start,

315
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 3: it looks like he's gonna get the ball against the Yankees.

316
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: A little bit of a tricky one, but you know,

317
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: I'm feeling pretty confident in him right now.

318
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: Let's go to Alex's question here, what's up, Joe's Should

319
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: I trade my Devin Williams and Langford for Michael Garcia?

320
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: You want to make that move. I think it's a

321
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: little much.

322
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: Maybe a little much.

323
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 3: Langford's got his third obleak problem of the year that

324
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 3: he's dealing with right now, which is kind of tricky.

325
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: And Williams.

326
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 3: I'm pretty confident in Williams, but he's also going to

327
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 3: be splitting with with Weaver.

328
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: A little bit. So I think it's a little much,

329
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: but it's not terrible.

330
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: Langford, Cruz, Profar rank the rest of season for Michael.

331
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: I'd go Cruz, Langford, and then Profar. I don't really

332
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: have high expectations for Profar. I know he's been doing

333
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: pretty well in his rehab, but sure after the juice,

334
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: you know, at age thirty two career year, I just

335
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: I don't feel confident there.

336
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: All right.

337
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: Zach Gallon, it's terrible. His last seven games has an

338
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,479
Speaker 1: ERA of six y five nine, just twenty nine strikeouts

339
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: and forty one innings. I mean, you got to drop

340
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: this guy. Another five runs yesterday, just brutal. Like I

341
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: don't keep care as a deeper league now, I mean

342
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: if you if Jacob Lopez was out there, would you

343
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: drop Gallen for him? I think I would.

344
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 2: I would drop Gallen to pick you up Joe. At

345
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: this time, I'm pretty.

346
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: Good still, but not in the pitching world. It's never

347
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: a good pitcher pitcher. For my back, I was a ketcher.

348
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was a catcher, and then I was a pitcher,

349
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: and then I was later in my baseball career a

350
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: corner infielder. But that's neither here nor there. My baseball

351
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: career that ended at six, the.

352
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: Catcher and second base, that's where I played.

353
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: Oh, I was not good in the middle endfield. I

354
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: wasn't quick.

355
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah I was quick. I was always quick. I even

356
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: hit lead off for Legion ball back in the day.

357
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: Stole a few bases. I was good at I wasn't

358
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: the fastest kid, but I was quick, and I know

359
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: how to get good jumps, and I could do all

360
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: the little things. But but I digress. Let's talk more

361
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: about who else you would pick up besides I mean,

362
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: look Gallen right now. The problem is like if you

363
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: have him in dynasty and keeper leagues, I don't know

364
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: what you do with him, Like I just like you know,

365
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: just I think you just move on in some fashion,

366
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: whatever it is. It's just it's crazy because just a

367
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, we were talking about it on

368
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: the live stream yesterday. He was a cy young candidate

369
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: three years ago, and now he's a guy that he

370
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: came in roster. It's an incredible drop off.

371
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: Zach Gallen, even with this year factored in, has a

372
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 3: three five to five career era. He has always been

373
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: really dependable. Twenty twenty one was a bad year, but

374
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: other than that two eighty one era two seven five,

375
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: two five four three four seven, he's been great. The

376
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: thing that's really especially concerning to me right now is

377
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: that he's had a cupcake run of opponents. The White

378
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: Sox beat you up. The Rockies San Diego and San

379
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: Diego we think okay, but San Diego has been a

380
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: pretty poor offense for the last while. Outside of that,

381
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: Cincinnati hasn't been great. They got to him, Atlanta, Pittsburgh.

382
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: He can't do it against anybody. So I think we're

383
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: done here. I think I'm done with him. I'm done

384
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: with Daly Obert. These guys can both get off of

385
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: all rosters at this point.

386
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: Joey P's probably built like a fire hydrant anyway. Wrong, alright,

387
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: let's go yeah, all right, let's go to some more

388
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: rookie lookie stuff. Let's go to Nick Kurtz. By the way,

389
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: GWN was just twenty nine years old to I just

390
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: want to throw that out there like this is his prime.

391
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy anyway, rookie lookie, let's stop being depressed. Three

392
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: for three with a three run homer for Nick Kurtz yesterday,

393
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: he continues to just pound the baseball. Emt she Han

394
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: got thirteen strikeouts in six perfect innings on Wednesday at

395
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: Triple A Omaha City, Oklahoma City. Excuse me, and yeah, Dodgers,

396
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Get that kid back in the rotation? Please,

397
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: with the love of God. Did dear Fuentes not so good?

398
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: Eight hits, allowed six runs, just one strikeout, three to third.

399
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: He's just not ready. He's not ready for big time.

400
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't think we can evaluate, you know, where he's

401
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: at now. I think he's scared. Throwing him out there

402
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: against the Mets is not fair, you know, and especially

403
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: the way Won Soda has been hitting one. SODA's crushing baseballs.

404
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: But the she hadn't start Joe. That's the one we

405
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: got to get to right now is still available in

406
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: like seventy percent of leagues. That's crazy, Like, you gotta

407
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: go pick this kid up. He is definitely gonna be

408
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: back at some point in this rotation.

409
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

410
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely. His stuff is good. The strikeouts are good.

411
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 2: The command has always been a little bit of an issue,

412
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: but so far, so good.

413
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: You know, he was literally I think it was six

414
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: perfect innings with thirteen strikeouts. So that's about as good

415
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 3: as it could possibly be for him. The Dodgers are

416
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 3: going to need him again, probably very soon. So I

417
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: guess the question becomes for a lot of people, emit

418
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: she and or Jacob Lopez.

419
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: Lopez sticks in the rotation longer because eventually glass Now

420
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: does come back, and you hope that Snow comes back

421
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: in the meantime, you know, immediate help is I think Lopez,

422
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: believe it or not? What do you think?

423
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think immediate it's Lopez.

424
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 3: If I was going to rank the rest of season,

425
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 3: I'd probably put she in above, but I think they're

426
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: probably the number one and two best pitchers on the

427
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: wire at the moment in most leagues.

428
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: She and are Edward Cabrera's not close Cabrera.

429
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: I want Cabrera too. He's somebody that worries me a

430
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 3: little bit. But he's been really good.

431
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what else. I mean, honestly, for two months,

432
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: he's been brilliant.

433
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: Two months.

434
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, April he was terrible. Since April he has a

435
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: two and a half RA I mean, and that's a

436
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: fair amount of starts. It's not like three starts. We're

437
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: talking about like seven or eight starts now. So I mean,

438
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: this is this is what he is right now, and

439
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: you just got to go with it. Some rumors going

440
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: that Bob Melvin told reporters that Raphaeld Devers is gonna

441
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: possibly start some games at first base in the upcoming trip,

442
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: So there you go. And Christian Campbell's playing first base

443
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: today at Triple A. Just putting that out there too.

444
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 3: I should say real quick about Devers though, that we

445
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 3: kind of need him to get in the field at

446
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: some point because we're trending towards utility only eligible Devers

447
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six. So let's get some reps somewhere.

448
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think he gets ten?

449
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 3: Probably not, maybe if it's like the Yahoo, because Yahoo

450
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: you just need five.

451
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: Yahoo, you just have to look at a position and then.

452
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: Trip over second and your second base eligible. Yeah, yeah,

453
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: but ten might be tricky.

454
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of the Red Sox too, by the way,

455
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: because when you're talking about Campbell, Richard Fitz really gave

456
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: a lift to that Red Sox rotation yesterday our boy,

457
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: and then Dicky Lovelady got let go in the same day.

458
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: It's very upsetting, very upsetting.

459
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: And they started calling him Richard again right away. Richard

460
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: Lovelady sent down. It's like, have some respect now.

461
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: Put some respect on his name. It's Dickie Love Lady.

462
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: And if you've dropped your Dickey Love Lady, maybe you

463
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: should try Kaisa trecks. You know, right now is a

464
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: great time to know your t score. And you know,

Speaker 1: to do these reads instead? You get ready? Maybe you

494
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: should do it tomorrow, just for uh, just for it.

495
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: See what happens.

496
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: I'll happily do it tomorrow.

497
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll say, we'll say, let's see what the

498
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: read is for tomorrow. All right, let's get to the

499
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: ups and the downs here and the fun facts. He's

500
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of fun facts. Wan Soto two or

501
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: four two homers yesterday. Of course I am in the

502
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: home run hell because I had Otani and I changed

503
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: it two days ago he went yard. I had Soto yesterday,

504
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: changed it to Otani. He went yard twice. I'm just miserable.

505
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: But the multi homer game was his twenty seventh of

506
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: his career. He passed Jimmy Fox for the most multi

507
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: homer games before turning twenty seven years old. Holy crap,

508
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: I think we forget won SODA's twenty six years old.

509
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 2: I know he's my age.

510
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: Crap, they'll get much. Look how much he's done with

511
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: his life. I know it top and make you think,

512
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: Joe Rico.

513
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: And I'm just here talking to you. Look what decisions

514
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: have I made that led me to this point?

515
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I hope that we get a Richard

516
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: Fitz followed by Dicky Lovelady, you know, kind of start

517
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: at some point. That would be That would be great.

518
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: Ronic Cooney is going to compete in the All Star

519
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: Game home run derby. That's exciting in Atlanta hometown guy.

520
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: I think I might just bet on him to win that.

521
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. And Jacob de Gram, Jacob Lopez,

522
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: and Jacob Mazarowski did something special yesterday. It's the first

523
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: time three pitchers named Jacob or Jake delivered scoreless starts

524
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: on the same day. I bet you didn't know that,

525
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: Joe Rico.

526
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: That's from the Sarah Lang's Handbook. It sounds like it.

527
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: Is exactly where I think I got that stat today.

528
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: So let's go to three up and three down, Max

529
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: Munsey in a grand Slam, Joe Adele two before a

530
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: seventeenth home run. Joe, where are you at with Joe Adele?

531
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: I haven't been buying, but now I'm getting to a

532
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: point where I might have to concede. I don't know

533
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: what do you.

534
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: Think he's made improvements every year of his career? With

535
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: the strikeout rate going down, the power metrics have gotten better,

536
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: Like he's a fifteen percent barrel rate.

537
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: That's an elite number, you know.

538
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: Forty seven percent hard hit is also the best of

539
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: his career, and as a really solid number. Overall, the

540
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 3: swinging strikes are still a little bit too high. I

541
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: wish he didn't chase as much, like he's not a

542
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 3: fully polished hitter. But if you're just straight up looking

543
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 3: for power, Joe Adell may end up hitting another fifteen

544
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 3: plus home runs dress of season, So I don't mind

545
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 3: it from that standpoint. I don't know that he's a

546
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: really well rounded asset, considering the bad lineup and the

547
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: poor batting average, but just strictly for power, I like

548
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 3: him a lot.

549
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. At this point, you got to

550
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: just acquiesce and say, maybe it's finally just clicked after

551
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: all these years and it's been a while, it's been

552
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: a while. Zach Wheeler struck out eight, that's the last one,

553
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: but Noticiasion for him. That kind of sucked. So again,

554
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: everything just blew up yesterday in my bets, they were

555
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: so bad but at least I'm going to own it.

556
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: The downs yesterday cavill deval four runs, three earned. He

557
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: has not been good, is he? Ray His last two

558
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: appearances went from one to five nine to two seven eight.

559
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: So rough Patch, are you worried about him keeping that

560
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: job at all?

561
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 3: Joe really like Rodriguez is a really good arm behind him.

562
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: But I think that Dovall, the guy with the experience,

563
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: is who they want to have in that role going forward.

564
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: So I think that he's still pretty secure.

565
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: Okay, Next on the downs here we had Eric Fetti

566
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: allowed eight hits, seven runs, and get Williams again just

567
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: kind of sleep walking through life. I feel like four runs,

568
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: three of them earn, no decision, five and a third innings.

569
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of us had high expectations for him.

570
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: His last six outings Joe thirty two innings, twenty three strikeouts,

571
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: nineteen walks. That's just not good. Like it's just the

572
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: Gavin Williams that I think we saw on spring training

573
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: that got everybody excited. I haven't seen him this year really.

574
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 3: No like flashes here and there, and people will point

575
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: to the era being three six eight and say he's

576
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: having a good year, but that whip is killing you

577
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: one forty three without really much strikeout upside eighty strikeouts

578
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: and eighty innings. Like, I don't even see him as

579
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: somebody that's a must roster player if you're talking about

580
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: shallow leagues. I think that he's more of a streamer

581
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: that we kind of tricked ourselves in the thinking was

582
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: going to be really, really good. His next start is

583
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 3: at Wrigley against the Cubs. Don't know if I want

584
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 3: to do that. After that it's against the Tigers, So

585
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: I think you're dropping him in shallow for Mats unless

586
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 3: you really feel confident about those two starts, and you

587
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 3: probably shouldn't.

588
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: Down to the.

589
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: Injuries now, Jordan Walker goes on the tendail APPENDICITI, so

590
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: I hope he's doing okay. Alex Bregman unlikely to return

591
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: before the All Star break. It's not shocking. I think

592
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: we all thought that would probably be the case, but

593
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: just something to note. Mark Vientos is going to rejoin

594
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: the Mets actually today against Atlanta, so we'll see how

595
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: that all works out. Maybe some time away to clear

596
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: his head is exactly what he needs. Any hope for

597
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: second half?

598
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: Mark Viendo's I just redid my rankings.

599
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 3: I did like a midseason update, and I think I

600
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 3: had him as my twelfth or thirteen third basement so

601
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 3: like on the fringe of rosteruble in standard leagues, I

602
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 3: think there is a chance. You know, we saw really

603
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 3: great stuff from him last year. I think the power

604
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 3: is pretty legit, even though the metrics would suggest that

605
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 3: he's taking a step back this year. I don't see

606
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 3: him as a seven percent barrel rate guy. I think

607
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: he's definitely in the double digits, or he should be.

608
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: And if you look at fangrafts as rest of season projections,

609
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 3: all of them call for twelve or thirteen home runs

610
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: going forward in that lineup at third base, which is

611
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 3: a terrible position that's still valuable. So I do have

612
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,239
Speaker 3: some hope. But man, he has been it's been an

613
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: awful draft pick this year.

614
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, man, I kept my home league for

615
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: two bucks. I thought it was a genius and he's

616
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: been terrible. I ended up trading him in a big

617
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: package deal for glass now because he was only two bucks.

618
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: So I traded him. I traded Marcelo Mayor, and I

619
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: was like, let me take a shot, because I got

620
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: a shot at winning this year after a two year

621
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: rebuild that I've been going on. Reese Olsen struck out five.

622
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: Oh am, I frozen. Now do we all get a freeze?

623
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I see myself.

624
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was you or me. There

625
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 2: there was there was a brief little.

626
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: Very apparently it's me. So apparently I'm okay though, Seth

627
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: and I okay, you can see me? Okay. This is

628
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: this is a very dangerous game. We're playing with the

629
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: internet here today with both of us on here. Reese

630
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: Sols has struck out five and two runs in four

631
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: innings and his rehabs star Casey Schmidt. Experts were negative

632
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: on the wrist, Zach Netto's day to day after the

633
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: MRI and his right shoulder didn't reveal any structural damage.

634
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: Luis Robert Man, oh Man, what a miserable year for him.

635
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: Hamstring tightness. He's day to day. Just a miserable season.

636
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: I was really hoping that Robert would get back on

637
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: track this year. It has just been terrible. Bryce Harper took

638
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: VP on Wednesday, Lance mccullors through a bullpen session, and

639
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: Spencer Arraghetti also through a bullpen session. So lots of

640
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: help coming from that rotation in Houston. They need some

641
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: offense to go along with Pana, That's what they need.

642
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: J Haino swears took like VP on Wednesday. White Langford again,

643
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, Joe absent with the side tightness and

644
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: an ongoing thing for Wyatt Langford. Hunter Green is going

645
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: to throw a bullpen next week, and Shane McClanahan was

646
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: able to throw off a mound Wednesday. I still say

647
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: we do not see Sean McClanahan this year. What say you,

648
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: Joe Rico?

649
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: God, I've been stashing him the whole year. I'd be

650
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 2: so pissed him.

651
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: Strider deal in my home league. That's him and al Contra.

652
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: I get out Contra. That's another one.

653
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: I hope that McClanahan is able to come back. I

654
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 3: think that we're trending towards he probably will at the

655
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 3: end of the season, especially if the Rays are are

656
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: still competitive, and I expect that they probably will be, so,

657
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: you know, I think a full blown shutdown there need

658
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 3: to be another setback. I think if he continues on

659
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: at this pace, then he's probably coming back.

660
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: But in the Year of Bread.

661
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: What does that look like? Joe I mean, look, it's

662
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 1: only the twenty six and he's just gonna throw off

663
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: a mound yesterday, right, So that's the twenty fifth throwing

664
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: off a mount. He's gonna build up, build up, right,

665
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: So maybe around what mid July he could possibly start

666
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: to make rehab starts and he would need a bunch

667
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: of those.

668
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: I mean then maybe maybe August, maybe mid August, and

669
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 2: then and then maybe he gets six to eight starts out.

670
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: I think that's the number over under six and a

671
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: half starts. I'm gonna go under.

672
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 3: Six and a half is a great line. I'd probably

673
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 3: pick a hair over. I'd probably go seven or eight,

674
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: But that's that's a proper number to set.

675
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: Pet that's a cracker jacks over under six and a

676
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: half starts for Sean mccladhan. Drop your comments here on

677
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: the Twitch. Let's go to our favorite segment here. It's

678
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: the best Bets of the Day with Joey p and

679
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,239
Speaker 1: Joe A. Reek. I can't be worse than yesterday, or

680
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: I hope not. Philly at Houston under seven and a

681
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: half minus one oh five. You got Hunter Brown Sanchez,

682
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: who are the best there is out there. So I'm

683
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: gonna go with the under on this one and say

684
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: it's more of a pitcher's duel. Freddy Freeman has great

685
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: numbers against Austin gomer four twenty nine career batting average,

686
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: thirteen ninety six ops. So give me minus one twenty

687
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: for Freddy Freeman to driving a run and give me

688
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: the Marlins on an upset. I'm feeling frisky, Joe, I'm

689
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: feeling frisky. Jansen Junk is on the mound against Hayden Birdsong.

690
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: I think the Marlins can squeak out of victory. Giants

691
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: still have trouble hitting the baseball even though they got Devers.

692
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: Offense still struggle bus a little bit. And Jansen Junk

693
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: has actually pitched pretty well. So those are my bets

694
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: for today On Thursday? What are yours?

695
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: So I was gonna go for the Philly Houston under

696
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 3: and I saw you had it, and I thought we

697
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: might hold hands on that one, but I will let

698
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: you have that one on your own, So I went

699
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 3: and pivoted to Toronto money line Kevin Gosman going up

700
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: against Tanner Bibby. This one really comes down to the

701
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: recent performances of the offenses. Cleveland's offense in June is

702
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: the third worst in baseball. The only worst teams offensively

703
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: are the White Sox and the Pirates. Kevin Gosman has

704
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: had some struggles up and down this season, but I

705
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: think this is a spot for him to really succeed,

706
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: especially because Toronto's offense has been fantastic. Toronto has been

707
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 3: on par with the Dodgers in June in terms of

708
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: their offensive output, and you know, I think they're probably

709
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 3: going to slow down at some point, but I think

710
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: they can definitely maintain that through today. And by the way,

711
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: these are a lot of early games today, so if

712
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: you are trying to tail a lot of these are

713
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 3: one pm two pm Eastern start times. Usually I try

714
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: to pick night games, but there's only one two.

715
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: He's only one, so it's like, who was in the afternoon.

716
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: I tried my best.

717
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, moving on to a guy you probably have

718
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: never heard of, and I wouldn't hold.

719
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: That against you. Dietrich Ends.

720
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: Who's going to be getting the ball for the Tigers

721
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 3: today against the Athletics. Thirty four year old journeyman type.

722
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: He's only made one career start, and I just figured

723
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 3: this is going to be more of an opener. Three

724
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: and a half strikeouts doesn't seem like a crazy high

725
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: number for him to meet, but I don't see him

726
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: going past maybe two or three innings, So getting that

727
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 3: one at plus money feels like a pretty solid arguing

728
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: to me. And then Jansen Junk over one and a

729
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: half walks. Like Joe mentioned, he's been pitching well, this

730
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: one comes down more to the Giants. In the month

731
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 3: of June, they have the highest walk rate in baseball

732
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 3: almost at eleven percent. They added Devers into their lineup,

733
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: who has been walking seventeen percent of the time this year,

734
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: so over one and a half walks for Jansen Junk

735
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 3: had a really nice plus one forty five line.

736
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: Just two joes betting on Jansen Junk. That's what we're

Speaker 1: doing today, baby. And of course, if you're betting on

750
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm falling behind a be a bad spot, but Wonky

751
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: Penguin is getting it done. Who do you wonk Wonky

752
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: got to yesterday? I can only assume she also had

753
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: mister Sodo. That'll be my guess. So good for her.

754
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: Georgia at thirty five. Good to see somebody representing us here.

755
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: Twenty three is still the number. I'm still at nineteen.

756
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: I gotta figure something out.

757
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: Man.

758
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: Twenty one would have been nice for me if I

759
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: had Sodo. So bad, Sammy Sosa Jersey still up for grabs,

760
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: Joe Rico, where are you going for your home run call? Today?

761
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Not a lot to choose from.

762
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: Not a nott a ton, But I'm targeting Austin Gomber

763
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: pretty much. Any bet you can make against him, you

764
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: should be making it today. I think the earned run

765
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 3: the line is set at four plus, but just just

766
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: take it because he's awful going up against the Dodgers.

767
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: So Andy pa has is going to be my home

768
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: run call. I believe it was plus three fifty or

769
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 3: plus three seventy five, depending on your book.

770
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: That's a good one. I'm gonna stick with Freddy Freeman.

771
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm also going Dodgers plus four hundred there, just playing

772
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,560
