Speaker 1: here too long, you guys, A one minute here before
Speaker 1: you come in. He's getting comfortable. It's been wait too long.
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Sausman. That's Frank's atleast this is the Fantasy
Speaker 1: best Friends Forever up. Should I hate you with the Budweiser?
Speaker 1: I feel like that's probably something you hate. Greg. That
Speaker 1: was so nineties. Don't do that. I was, I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I wasn't like that. It's also like a Bubbara Dudley
Speaker 1: thing too, so they took it from the commercial. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, So if I started making that part of
Speaker 1: my thing every day, would you a hate it? We
Speaker 1: love it. We're just I don't think I think neither
Speaker 1: probably past it. But you know, you know how like
Speaker 1: everything comes full circle, Greg, like they're starting to make
Speaker 1: all these like not starting. They've been making remakes of
Speaker 1: movies for like ever now, and remakes of shows and stuff.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're close to getting like the remake
Speaker 1: of that commercial. None, like another iteration of it or
Speaker 1: something like that. Do that recently? Maybe, I don't know
Speaker 1: if they did. It wasn't nearly as successful as when
Speaker 1: it first came out. I mean it was hard. It
Speaker 1: would be hard to live up to that, but it
Speaker 1: was a big fan of that. It was fun. I'll
Speaker 1: never forget the super Bowl commercial, not when that was
Speaker 1: the most popular in the world. Did a super Bowl commercial?
Speaker 1: You'mber what it was? No, Oh my god, it was amazing.
Speaker 1: I was really young when that, like ad campaign was
Speaker 1: a fan. I was young too, but I just just
Speaker 1: remember the one up being the be A going into
Speaker 1: the super Bowl almost like um the Deally Dally guys
Speaker 1: a year ago. So they did a super Bowl commercial
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? What are
Speaker 1: you doing? Instead of what it was, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? What are you doing. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's hysterical. Yeah, it was really you gotta check that
Speaker 1: out on YouTube during the break. Check it out. It was.
Speaker 1: It's really funny. All right, yea, I trust you, Greg. Greg.
Speaker 1: Would you like to do a little NBA dress a
Speaker 1: lottery simulator before we jump into baseball, and we should
Speaker 1: do it every hour on the hour, So on every hour,
Speaker 1: I mean every like ten minutes ago, okay, every every
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Are you ready for this one? Okay? Do do
Speaker 1: do do? Do Do? Do do? Sit in the lottery with
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick this Chicago Bulls are on
Speaker 1: the clock on by the Atlanta Hawks. The only team
Speaker 1: projected to be in the top three that actually makes it,
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns. Congratulations. Chris Welsh for the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Lakers with the pick your New York Knickerbockers. God, this
Speaker 1: would be terrible. Cleveland drops the six two. Oh yeah yeah. Alright.
Speaker 1: So so that's our that's our one oh five pm
Speaker 1: NBA Draft Lottery simulator. We'll be back in about ten minutes. Reagan,
Speaker 1: back to you, all right, back to me. So let's
Speaker 1: begin with some of the work from last night, and
Speaker 1: let's begin with Chicago White Socks. Because you want Monicada,
Speaker 1: you went nuts. Yeah, Makada was awesome in this one.
Speaker 1: I was watching the start, obviously with a close eye
Speaker 1: on Shane Bieber here, and Mancata just tagged him and
Speaker 1: he he hit a fastball up and in basically down
Speaker 1: the line, and then later on he just kind of
Speaker 1: like flicked his wrist. Looks like anyone else would have
Speaker 1: hit it probably would have been like a bloop to
Speaker 1: like the opposite field goes over the fence for you
Speaker 1: on Moncada. That's just the way that this guy is
Speaker 1: locked in so far of this year in the type
Speaker 1: of contact that he's making when he does make contact. Um,
Speaker 1: he's significantly lowered his strikeout rate this year. Greg, we
Speaker 1: haven't talked a lot about Mankada recently, but I said
Speaker 1: coming into the season, if he can lower his strikeout
Speaker 1: rate about five six pc, his batting average will shoot
Speaker 1: up because he makes hard contact. And that's exactly what's happened.
Speaker 1: Last year thirty three point four percent strikeout rate. This
Speaker 1: year twenty six point nine percent strikeout rate. So he's
Speaker 1: lowered it quite significantly. The batting average up to two
Speaker 1: eighty nine that's probably overly optimistic. Like if I had
Speaker 1: to put a aligne on it the rest of the way,
Speaker 1: I'd probably put him at like two sixty two sixty
Speaker 1: five is something like that, just because he does still
Speaker 1: strike out a lot, but the powers legit. He has
Speaker 1: nine home runs in a hundred and seventy five plate
Speaker 1: appearances so far this year. He had seventeen in six
Speaker 1: d fifty plate appearances last year. Um, he's just looks
Speaker 1: like he's he's on that verge of that breakout, Greg,
Speaker 1: And this is why you don't write off prospects early
Speaker 1: on in their career. Last year was his first full
Speaker 1: season and only hit seventeen runs with twelve stolen basis.
Speaker 1: But this year nine homers, twenty nine runs scored, already,
Speaker 1: twenty eight r b i s, four stolen basis, twoity
Speaker 1: nine batting average. Again, I think the batting average coming down.
Speaker 1: But even if he's a four category contributor, Greg, you
Speaker 1: love that. You love that when it comes to you
Speaker 1: on no doubt about it all. Mccon has been really,
Speaker 1: really good this season. Happy that he's off today, but
Speaker 1: he's been really man. You'll take a day off after
Speaker 1: last night. The guy gave you a three hits and
Speaker 1: two home runs. I think you're doing all right if
Speaker 1: you're a Moncata owner. I hope so. Like it's Daniel
Speaker 1: Murphy where he's off every other day, we're gonna started.
Speaker 1: You probably want him off today against Chris Sale. I
Speaker 1: don't want to start him, No, I just I want
Speaker 1: the guy to play greg That's what I want. Ronaldo
Speaker 1: Lopez was also awesome in this start. Yeah, So Ronaldo Lopez,
Speaker 1: we had the question yesterday are you going to use
Speaker 1: him as a two start pitcher on the week? And
Speaker 1: last night if you did, you got what you needed.
Speaker 1: In that first start as has been seven and two thirds,
Speaker 1: allowed just two hits, one or in run two or
Speaker 1: two runs total six ks. He walked to. The only
Speaker 1: run that he allowed those earth was the Francisco Lindoor
Speaker 1: solo shot. Lindore later hit a sack fly in the
Speaker 1: third and that was it. He was absolutely fantastic last night,
Speaker 1: was her not the Lopez shamby or not so much?
Speaker 1: Six and the third, seven hits, five runs, he struck
Speaker 1: out six. You know, it's crazy. Even after this start,
Speaker 1: his ear a stands at five point five eight, which
Speaker 1: just shows you the wide range of outcomes that you
Speaker 1: could get from Ronaldo Lopez. As I mentioned, I was
Speaker 1: watching the start and he was lights out. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's him being really good or this Indians
Speaker 1: lineup is just god offer right now, like you could
Speaker 1: just stream any starting pitcher against the Cleveland Indians, They're
Speaker 1: an absolute mess. But something that I have noticed regarding
Speaker 1: Ronaldo Lopez is with each success in two season greg
Speaker 1: he has started to scrap the curveball even more. And
Speaker 1: now over his past four starts he basically hasn't thrown it.
Speaker 1: He hasn't thrown it a single time. He's just focusing
Speaker 1: in on his ask ball, his changeup and his slider,
Speaker 1: and the past couple starts, what I've seen the out
Speaker 1: of the changeup is this is a pretty good offering.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's a if it's an organizational
Speaker 1: philosophy thing that they're going through right now, but Gelto
Speaker 1: has been using his change up more. Ronaldo Lopez has
Speaker 1: been using his change up more, and the results have
Speaker 1: been night and day for these guys. So Ronaldo Lopez
Speaker 1: on the year, the cape or nine is up to
Speaker 1: nine point four. Last year it was seven point two,
Speaker 1: so again, both with him and ge Leo, you see
Speaker 1: the swinging strike rade up massively. It's up over two
Speaker 1: percent this year. Um the strikeouts are up over the
Speaker 1: past two starts. He's walked just three total over his
Speaker 1: past two starts. Not that that's phenomenally low. It's not like,
Speaker 1: all right, well, he's gotten three straight games without walking anyone.
Speaker 1: But he's getting better. I mean, these are like the slow,
Speaker 1: incremental steps that you need to see out of a
Speaker 1: guy like Ronaldo Lopez. He's not just gonna continue stop
Speaker 1: walking guys like immediately, but just three walks over his
Speaker 1: last two starts, and we're starting to see some results here. Greg.
Speaker 1: I think he's starting to learn how to pitch, kind
Speaker 1: of similarly to what we're seeing out of Lucas Gielito.
Speaker 1: It's taken some time. He didn't just come up and
Speaker 1: take the world by storm, but he throws me in nineties.
Speaker 1: He's got a pretty good slider, and it seems like
Speaker 1: the changeup is coming along. I like what I've seen
Speaker 1: out of Ronaldo Lopez. He's a guy that should be owned.
Speaker 1: I believe that, and you'll stream him in the right
Speaker 1: matchups to start week Cleveland in means Toronto. This was
Speaker 1: the right week to start him. The matches were good.
Speaker 1: He took a shot last night. It obviously paid off
Speaker 1: in a major, major way. Outside of Yawn Lacatas two
Speaker 1: hole runs. It was his eighth and ninth homers of
Speaker 1: the season. Jose Bray, you hit his tent whole run
Speaker 1: of the year. I now you were a Jose Rae
Speaker 1: you guy coming into this season, Frank, you liked where
Speaker 1: you were getting. You were drafting him and compared to the
Speaker 1: the Cheei Vada who's really really struggled obviously on this season,
Speaker 1: a Ray was fantastic value. We compared those two and
Speaker 1: you were getting a brave I believe. Two rounds later
Speaker 1: or so, and he's got in Tuesdays nine with a
Speaker 1: three thirty o b P. With those ten hole runs
Speaker 1: now on the year. Yeah, I mean the thirty six
Speaker 1: RB I s that's the biggest number that I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: He's top five in baseball right now, so especially it
Speaker 1: seems like he got off to a really slow start.
Speaker 1: Still has thirty six RBIs the show right now. Also
Speaker 1: has two stone bases, which is like this guy never
Speaker 1: steals based I'm not expecting that from him, but ten
Speaker 1: home runs to seventy batting average, Right, Greg, I mean
Speaker 1: I was all over jose Brey. You at his price
Speaker 1: coming into the season, and he's given you everything that
Speaker 1: you can hope for. Um, He's not just like a
Speaker 1: a one format kind of guy. He's good in rodo,
Speaker 1: he's good in points leagues, he makes a lot of contact. Um,
Speaker 1: he's been rock solid the past couple of seasons. So
Speaker 1: obviously no complaints. I've I've loved everything that I've gotten
Speaker 1: out of jose Brew. You mentioned he hit his tenth
Speaker 1: home run, which came off of Shane Bieber in this start,
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber. I'm gonna jump in here, Greg on Bieber.
Speaker 1: The first three innings he got two quick outs in
Speaker 1: each ending and then allowed a solo home run three
Speaker 1: innings in a row with two outs. It was just really,
Speaker 1: really frustrating. And you know, I got a few questions
Speaker 1: last night regarding Shane Bieber, and I'm kind of en
Speaker 1: this up to you as well. We could have a
Speaker 1: little bit of back and forth. He had twelve swinging
Speaker 1: strikes in a hundred and one pitches. He still had
Speaker 1: six strikeouts in six and a third in pitch, but
Speaker 1: he allowed four solo homers in the start, five runs total.
Speaker 1: And what we said about Biever coming into this season, Greg,
Speaker 1: is that he needed to learn to not pitch in
Speaker 1: the zone as much because he has really good command,
Speaker 1: and we're seeing that this year. His zone percentages down.
Speaker 1: Last year, he pitched in his zonecent of the time.
Speaker 1: This year it's forty two point six percent. He's walking
Speaker 1: more guys, so I mean, these are indications that he's
Speaker 1: pitching outside the zone. He's trying to get guys to
Speaker 1: chase pitches outside the strike zone more this year, and
Speaker 1: his chase rate is up a little bit, it's up
Speaker 1: one percent. Nothing phenomenal here on The swinging strike rate
Speaker 1: is up a little bit. But I'll open this up
Speaker 1: to you, Greg, do we have a case here with
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber that his stuff is just not as good
Speaker 1: as we thought it was. I think is that what
Speaker 1: it comes down to, because I don't really have any
Speaker 1: other explanation. He's still averaging almost ten case per nine,
Speaker 1: but his hard hit rate, once again, even with not
Speaker 1: pitching outside, pitching in the zone as much as he
Speaker 1: did last year, he's doing what we asked him to do.
Speaker 1: Nit pick a little bit more, pitch around the outside
Speaker 1: of the zone a little bit, don't live inside the
Speaker 1: zone as much. He's doing that. His heart hit rate
Speaker 1: GREG this year has gone up. They're making optimal contact
Speaker 1: against him forty percent hard hit rate. And I was
Speaker 1: actually talking with our buddy in the chat Big Timer
Speaker 1: last night on Twitter. He's pitched in cold weather to
Speaker 1: this point. If he's giving up one point eight home
Speaker 1: runs per nine and forty five percent hard hit rate
Speaker 1: right now in cold weather, what's gonna happen when the
Speaker 1: weather starts to heat up. So I do have some
Speaker 1: concerns over Shane Bieber. He's got a three eight one
Speaker 1: ear ray, he's got a three nine seven x fit,
Speaker 1: he's got a four point four six FIPS. So there's
Speaker 1: not really anything that you can hold your hat on
Speaker 1: him right now. His BABIT is actually low. That's because
Speaker 1: he's given up as many home runs as he is.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's frustrating. It's frustrating to watch because
Speaker 1: I feel like the stuff is it's pretty good. I
Speaker 1: was really banking on him taking that next step because
Speaker 1: he's in Cleveland and they've done a really good job
Speaker 1: developing starting pitchers. You know he sits ninety three with
Speaker 1: his fastball not overwhelming. His fastball gets crushed a lot um.
Speaker 1: I think it's changed up. His breaking pitches are I
Speaker 1: mean slider, his breaking pitches are plus pitches. But for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, he's getting masked Greg. It hasn't worked out
Speaker 1: right now four shape Bieber. And there's also the signs
Speaker 1: right there, as Fright mentioned that it may not just
Speaker 1: all of a sudden turned around a which flipped as
Speaker 1: we may hope. I think it's a logical logical question.
Speaker 1: So you want to sell shape Bieber? What are you
Speaker 1: telling him for or are you not there yet? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet because look, there's still a lot
Speaker 1: that I liked about him coming into the year, and
Speaker 1: I do think that the Cleveland Indians as a team
Speaker 1: will get better overall, and I do think that Shane
Speaker 1: Bieber will be part of that. But I just don't
Speaker 1: know what else he could do differently, Like he's lowered
Speaker 1: his fastball usage this year ten percent, so it's kind
Speaker 1: of additioned by subtraction. He's using the slider more, he's
Speaker 1: using the change up more this year. I'm not selling
Speaker 1: him yet because it seems like this will be an
Speaker 1: odd time to try and sell him. He's coming off
Speaker 1: to lackluster starts. I mean his past. His last start
Speaker 1: was a quality start, it wasn't bad, but six and
Speaker 1: the third three and runs against the White Sox. There's
Speaker 1: a team now that has seen him two starts in
Speaker 1: a row and then yesterday five or and run. So
Speaker 1: I feel like it would be a weird time to
Speaker 1: try and sell him. So I'm gonna hold There's still
Speaker 1: a lot that I like coming into the season, Greg,
Speaker 1: But but I do have my my concerns. Maybe I
Speaker 1: don't rank him, like if I'm rebranking today, I don't
Speaker 1: rank him as aggressively as I did. I had him
Speaker 1: rank the tip of my top twenty. I think I
Speaker 1: had him rank nineteen right around twenty. Maybe I have
Speaker 1: that number closer to thirty. Shame byber the question mark
Speaker 1: do e saist? Who's the second start with against this week?
Speaker 1: That would be against the Baltimore Orioles, so that's the
Speaker 1: toughest matchup. He should be able to take advantage there.
Speaker 1: We'll see, We hope, we hope indeed at correct on
Speaker 1: the year. As I said yesterday about now, there will
Speaker 1: be a three thirty three Lindora. One of the big
Speaker 1: counting around Greg. Josie Ramirez that had fifth in this
Speaker 1: game is the first time he batted lower than third
Speaker 1: all season long. He went over four o BP at
Speaker 1: two ninety one batting average at one three. No bueno
Speaker 1: Josie Ramirez slugging percentage? What do you what do you
Speaker 1: do if you're Josie Ramiro's owner, Greg, and you can't
Speaker 1: bench him? Why you can't? It's the first round pick.
Speaker 1: I mean we drafted him in fifteen team league. Obviously
Speaker 1: we're not benching him there? What are you doing with
Speaker 1: this guy? Though? Like his batting averages, he's expected batting
Speaker 1: averages tote, so he's clearly been unlucky for a long
Speaker 1: time now. But is wOBA way down from last year.
Speaker 1: His slugging percentage has expected slugging percentage, everything is down.
Speaker 1: Do you just try and sell hosing your mirrors based
Speaker 1: on his name value? Right now? Greg? Yes? But what
Speaker 1: are you gonna get so everyone's gonna recognize the numbers? Obviously?
Speaker 1: Constantine sent me a text today and said he got
Speaker 1: offered Stoley, Marte and Hunter Dozert. You know why I
Speaker 1: Constant sent you a text because he subscribes to your
Speaker 1: Patreon's rank. He's the highest of the high. Like, I'm
Speaker 1: just letting you know this is a true story. Frank
Speaker 1: walks in this morning. I'm like, Frank, I really need
Speaker 1: you to do this video, like we got work to do.
Speaker 1: I need you, I need you to do this, and
Speaker 1: he goes, well, I constance. He texted me he pays
Speaker 1: for my time. I have to respond first, and I
Speaker 1: was very frustrated because I was like, I also pay you,
Speaker 1: and He's just like, well, deal with it. That happened.
Speaker 1: If you want that kind of attention from Frank, you
Speaker 1: should also subscribe to his Patreon. That's exactly right, Greggy.
Speaker 1: I'll answer your d ms on Patreon as well. They
Speaker 1: have a nice little feature there, so I get hit
Speaker 1: up from a few of the Patreon subscribers asking questions
Speaker 1: with the private messages, so I'm always around to answer
Speaker 1: questions obviously, and they obviously put out the Waiver Wire
Speaker 1: stuff over the weekend. I like to put out some
Speaker 1: Swinging Strikes stuff fabrary cap So yeah, it's been fun, Greg.
Speaker 1: I'm looking into Ramirez right now. Stack cast numbers against
Speaker 1: certain pitches. So we were worried about the breaking pitches.
Speaker 1: Coming into the year. He hit one eight one against
Speaker 1: breaking pitches last year, three against fastballs. This year, he's
Speaker 1: sitting two six against breaking pitches, one sixty against fast
Speaker 1: I think he's in his own head, dude. I think
Speaker 1: he's thinking so much about these breaking pitches that he's
Speaker 1: psyching himself out. He's sitting won sixty against fastballs with
Speaker 1: a two seven expected batting average against fastballs this year,
Speaker 1: so he's always been a good fastball hitter. He's hitting
Speaker 1: two year against breaking pitches, is expected batting average against
Speaker 1: breaking pitches one four. It's bad. It's very May four.
Speaker 1: But I'm getting close to the point where we almost
Speaker 1: have a full calendar year of data. Greg of Josira
Speaker 1: Mirs struggling against breaking pitches. Everyone who was fading Josi
Speaker 1: Ramires worried about that second half, worried about him struggling
Speaker 1: against breaking pitches. You might be onto something. Let's take

Speaker 1: don't have to tell me how you're committed to the
Speaker 1: mandatory mini caamp. You don't show up for the mandatory minicamp,
Speaker 1: that's problems, fines, and it means that you want to
Speaker 1: do your own thing and you don't care about the team.
Speaker 1: Then I'll criticize you, but not for the voluntary stuff.
Speaker 1: I just have to be there if the NFL, p
Speaker 1: A and the league negotiate it. What Tom Coughlin did
Speaker 1: was wrong, and anything other than what Adam Gaze said
Speaker 1: would be wrong in my opinion. Saturday's eight a m.
Speaker 1: Easter on the Fantasy Sports networking on your popular podcast
Speaker 1: providers Fantasy Best Friends Grabber Fantasy Sports where you could
Speaker 1: dive there or right the Lopez and Justin Bieber. He
Speaker 1: did a whole segment on the Indians and White Sox recap.
Speaker 1: We did all right, Greg, It is now two. It's
Speaker 1: the lottery on this time to simulate the lotter read
Speaker 1: and with the number one overall pick tonight, the Memphis
Speaker 1: Grizzlies will be selecting Zion Williamson, ated by the Cleveland Cavaliers,
Speaker 1: followed by the Washington Wizards, followed by the Dallas Mavericks,
Speaker 1: and you're New York Knicks at number five. Greg, I
Speaker 1: have done this now three times, and all three times
Speaker 1: I have got the fifth pick for the New York Knicks.
Speaker 1: This is very bad. This is not going to dwell
Speaker 1: Cameraddish territory. This is not this is not gonna well.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Knicks must know this. They must know
Speaker 1: that they're going to fail at the lottery tonight. And
Speaker 1: that's why they were talking about ham Reddish over the weekend,
Speaker 1: that that the Knicks are doing their homework, do when
Speaker 1: their due diligence because they know they know they're getting
Speaker 1: the fifth pick, right, you know they've accepted it. To
Speaker 1: where are you simulating years Tankathon. It's funny because I
Speaker 1: just simulated for fun. I'm not saying anything anybody. No,
Speaker 1: you can't do that, Greg, Only it's on the twos lottery.
Speaker 1: On the twos and the next the first pick one. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe you should be going to represent the next tonight
Speaker 1: and not Patrick Ewing. Oh my god, this is so bad. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is so bad. If you've got the offer of
Speaker 1: stalling Marte and Hunter Dozer for Jose Ramirez, what would
Speaker 1: you do? Because to me, that seems like a pretty
Speaker 1: good offer. Sorry, Martin Hunter for Jose Ramirez, Are you
Speaker 1: gonna do it? It's a pretty damn good deal, man, Like,
Speaker 1: that's the territory that we're in right now. You get
Speaker 1: a dude, hundred Dozier could be this year's breakout third basement.
Speaker 1: Everything that he's doing right now seems legit. Hope that
Speaker 1: the back spasms don't flare up again, but everything that
Speaker 1: he's doing, from cutting down the strikeout rate to hitting
Speaker 1: the ball hard or putting them ball in the air,
Speaker 1: hitting in the middle of a really good Royals lineup
Speaker 1: right now. I never thought that I would say that
Speaker 1: this season, this Royals lineup is fun and it's a
Speaker 1: good one. Under Dozer is in the midst of a breakout,
Speaker 1: and then you get staling. Marte's off of that. Who
Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. The batting averages climbing up right now,
Speaker 1: he's getting his hits. You know, he's gonna steal bases.
Speaker 1: The weather starts to eat up. It's a great Ballpark
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, but probably gonna give you his fifteen plus
Speaker 1: home runs. He's a third round pick. I think that's
Speaker 1: a very fair return right now. If you're shopping Jose A.
Speaker 1: Ramirez and you need depth, you're just kind of shopping
Speaker 1: and based off his name value. If you're one of
Speaker 1: the owners right now, that's worried that this can linger
Speaker 1: all season from Jose Ramirez because honestly, we don't have
Speaker 1: underlying numbers here that's say that it's going to get
Speaker 1: that much better with Jose Ramirez. I'm worried. I own
Speaker 1: him in two leagues. I'm worried about him. So you
Speaker 1: are also worried that's something that can linger all year,
Speaker 1: and maybe you shop him with the hope of getting
Speaker 1: too pretty damn Cherson returns Sally Marte and Hunter Dozer.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good return, Greig, Yeah, it's a very
Speaker 1: fair restart, I think at this point for Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 1: Let's do the Cain and I eventued Lorenzo Caine before
Speaker 1: the break. Lorenzo Caine killed me yesterday Kill the Phillies
Speaker 1: with the Phillies were able to pull this one out
Speaker 1: seven of four. Lorenzo Caine was five for six on
Speaker 1: the day, including two dollars and his fourth stolen base
Speaker 1: of the season. Mikey mustock is his tenth home run
Speaker 1: of the year. Moustock Is was wonderful, four fifty, Travis
Speaker 1: Show and over three sixty three. That's why casting here
Speaker 1: is coming up now. When it comes to here, I'll
Speaker 1: bring this game down in a moment. How far do
Speaker 1: we go with casting here? If you want to pick
Speaker 1: him up right, like you gotta drop someone to pick
Speaker 1: up here, I'm assuming you would drop Travis Show. F M.
Speaker 1: I think it's that's a fair it's a fair statement. Um,
Speaker 1: would you drop the question that we got? Would you
Speaker 1: drop Michael Javis for him? I would not? Would you
Speaker 1: drop the other? I got a question about Jesse Winker?
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker. Winker has been dealing with a quad But
Speaker 1: so my response to someone asking if they Sauld drop
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker is like, what do you expecting kest and
Speaker 1: here to do? Because Winker is also that's pretty good
Speaker 1: prospect pedigree, and he's in a good ballpark and he
Speaker 1: hits the middle of a solid lineup. Y'all hop we
Speaker 1: coming around for the Reds. Like how much better is Kesse?
Speaker 1: And here are gonna be than Jesse Winker? I like
Speaker 1: jes See Winker a lot, and he's doing some good things.
Speaker 1: It's here hard hit rate is like over betting average
Speaker 1: isn't there yet, but he's already set a career high
Speaker 1: in home runs. He's dealing with this quad issue and no,
Speaker 1: maybe if we get more news on that, like whether
Speaker 1: he's gonna hit the I L or something like. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's that severe because I think they would
Speaker 1: have placed him on the I L if that were
Speaker 1: the case. But that that's my response, Greig, is how
Speaker 1: much better is Kessing? Here are gonna be than Winker?
Speaker 1: Batting ADVERTISEMM in there for Winker, but based on the
Speaker 1: bat of ball data, I would expect it to be there.
Speaker 1: I still really like Jesse Winker. I wouldn't make that move,
Speaker 1: and I like here a lot too. I want to
Speaker 1: make the move either. I think when it comes to prospects,
Speaker 1: we all get super excited. You want to join the fun,
Speaker 1: you want to be able to ride the wave. But
Speaker 1: you're a good player, you you he's a good player.
Speaker 1: Would you drop Ryan McMann for him? So I had
Speaker 1: that decision. This morning, actually because I picked him up
Speaker 1: in the pit League and I was debating dropping Ryan McMahon,
Speaker 1: but I didn't because they still had Roddy to Les
Speaker 1: on my team. So like, that's a move on make.
Speaker 1: But if I didn't have Ruddy to Les, I probably
Speaker 1: would have made that move. Yeah, I would have dropped
Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon, even even with the fact that he has
Speaker 1: like the multi position eligibility he plays in Colorado. But
Speaker 1: it's been frustrating. He I believe ryani Man has three
Speaker 1: home runs in the year, Greg. Two of those came
Speaker 1: in one game, So it's been frustrating. And I know
Speaker 1: it's been like really cold in Colorado and they haven't
Speaker 1: had a lot of games there yet, but you still
Speaker 1: have to worry about him struggling. It's lefties sitting against
Speaker 1: lefties at times, and just flat out like, is he
Speaker 1: the player that we expected to be? He hasn't been
Speaker 1: great so far, So I would make that move, Greg,
Speaker 1: Okay making that move? Okay, Dared Hampson has been sent down,
Speaker 1: that's a move on. And make how about Dan Vogelock? Greg?
Speaker 1: He dropping that was literally the next name out of
Speaker 1: my mouth. Three run bomb last night game tying three
Speaker 1: runs he did. I would rather have here that here, really,
Speaker 1: am Okay, it's because Milwaukee better place to hit. I
Speaker 1: like vogel Box, But over the past month or so
Speaker 1: he's really slowed down. Really good still in points leads
Speaker 1: because he walks a lot o b P is good.
Speaker 1: But the Mariners seem like they're about to get really crowded.
Speaker 1: Greg like when everyone's healthy, Like de Gordon came back
Speaker 1: last night as a pinch runner, stole a base, But
Speaker 1: once he's there, you're gonna have shed Long. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have JP Crawford. There's a team that's geared towards, you know,
Speaker 1: playing younger players, and and Dan vogel Bok meets that,
Speaker 1: but you know, and totally trade away Edwin and Karnassiana
Speaker 1: J Bruce Like, all right, we might have a little
Speaker 1: bit of a log jam here for playing time when
Speaker 1: it comes to to the Mariners, I like vogel Bok.
Speaker 1: I would rather have here. Okay, So there you go.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the deal. Kessing here. What the other guys,
Speaker 1: Nicky Lopez and and Oscar Modado. Yeah, so they don't
Speaker 1: have the same pedigree obviously as as a Kessing hera
Speaker 1: um I would probably still be willing to drop like
Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon um Volo Bok. I would keep over those
Speaker 1: other two guys. But it comes down to what you need,
Speaker 1: right like if you need a middle infielder, who when
Speaker 1: we had the Welshaw in the first hour, you go
Speaker 1: back and listen to him. He gave us a great
Speaker 1: breakdown of each of these prospects and what he's expecting.
Speaker 1: He's more excited about Nikki Lopez. But there's a little
Speaker 1: bit of something for everybody right now. Greg, if you
Speaker 1: need a middle infielder, then Nikki Lopez. There's a guy's
Speaker 1: someone that you could pick up and plug in, and
Speaker 1: it seems like he's gonna play quite regularly for the Royals.
Speaker 1: He has good o BP, he has a little bit
Speaker 1: of pop, a little bit of speed to hit for
Speaker 1: good batting average so far this year. And then Mercado
Speaker 1: he's kind of the I think he has higher upside.
Speaker 1: I think Nicky Lopez is safer. I think Mercado has
Speaker 1: higher upside because he has like forty stolen base seasons
Speaker 1: in the minors. He has a little bit of pop too.
Speaker 1: He was crushing it during spring training and I think
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Indians are gonna keep him up because they've
Speaker 1: been starting like Jordan Luplo. I know either he got
Speaker 1: placed in the oh no it was Tyler Nikelan got
Speaker 1: placed in the I l so like it's been a
Speaker 1: revolving door in the outfield, like they signed Carlos Gonzalez
Speaker 1: like veteran contract whatever. I think the Oscar Mercado is
Speaker 1: gonna play, and I think he does have high upside
Speaker 1: because of his stolen basis. So there's a little bit
Speaker 1: of something out there for everyone. He has an outfielder
Speaker 1: in the middle, endfielder. You've got Pablo Lopez, you have
Speaker 1: Mercado on the outfield. Obviously Kessin here. I'd rather have
Speaker 1: over over both of them. But yeah, I would pick
Speaker 1: these guys up, and especially if you have like a
Speaker 1: dead roster spot right now, I'm gonna drop anyone who's
Speaker 1: absolutely helping me right now, my dropping Javis and my
Speaker 1: dropping Winker for for these guys. No, I'm not, And
Speaker 1: I know that's the question that we've been getting a lot.
Speaker 1: So that's how I feel about the prospects. Okay, back
Speaker 1: to the Phillies and the brew Crew, because two interesting starters.
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention Frank. Let's start with the Phillies.
Speaker 1: Aaronola three innings, five hits, three runs, three walks, three
Speaker 1: k's not good, not good at all, Greg and frustrating
Speaker 1: a year so far for Aaronolah is the guy that
Speaker 1: was going in the second third round. Uh. Seemed like
Speaker 1: he was coming around a little bit his past couple
Speaker 1: of starts, you know, against the St. Louis Cardinals at St.
Speaker 1: Louis six names, one run ball, seven strikeouts. The time
Speaker 1: before that against the Tigers five and two thirds, one
Speaker 1: earned run, six strikeouts, seemed like he was coming around
Speaker 1: a little bit. Even before that Miami. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: dominate Miami. That's fine. Six and two thirds, one and run.
Speaker 1: So we had three straight starts of one earned run
Speaker 1: ball from Aaron Nolah. That's good. But he gets faced
Speaker 1: with the Brewers last night. And what I've always said, Look,
Speaker 1: I know it's a two star weeks, so I would
Speaker 1: have used Aaronola anyway, but I don't like using pictures
Speaker 1: against Milwaukee. It's for this reason. They're a tough lineup.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be patient, take their pitches. They walked three
Speaker 1: times last night they hit a home run off of him.
Speaker 1: That's the biggest problem that I'm seeing out of Aaron
Speaker 1: nola right now, Greg is the walks and the home runs.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who coming into this year two
Speaker 1: point five six walk per nine for his career. Last
Speaker 1: year he was two point four four six walks per nine.
Speaker 1: This year he's up at three point eight eight. Something
Speaker 1: is not going right for Aaron Nolah, and it might
Speaker 1: go back to, you know, Mike Florio's conspiracy theory last
Speaker 1: week that hit hitters around the league are laying off
Speaker 1: pitchers more pitches more, They're being more patient, they're walking more.
Speaker 1: We're seeing with guys like Aaron Nolah. He hasn't normally
Speaker 1: walked as many guys, but for whatever reason, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's something that's gone gone league wide this year,
Speaker 1: but he's the walks are up massively. How about the
Speaker 1: home runs? One point seven five home runs per nine
Speaker 1: right now for Aaronolah. Last year he was zero point
Speaker 1: seven two. So he's walking more guys and he's giving
Speaker 1: up home runs. He's giving hup home runs with guys
Speaker 1: on base because he's walking him. The strikeouts still look
Speaker 1: really good nine point three case per nine, even though
Speaker 1: the swinging strike rate is downtre tremendously this year, Greg,
Speaker 1: something's not right with with with Aaronolah so far this
Speaker 1: year just walking more guys doesn't have that pinpoint command
Speaker 1: that you're selling Aaronola. You can't sell him because I
Speaker 1: mean you could try if you could still get like
Speaker 1: a top if ting is starting pitcher based off his
Speaker 1: name value, it might be something that you look into.
Speaker 1: If I own Aaronola, I'm frustrated right now and I
Speaker 1: would understand why you would want to move him, But
Speaker 1: coming of last night's performance is just not the right time.
Speaker 1: Maybe after his last three starts where he pitched No.
Speaker 1: Six innings one run ball, maybe you tried to trade
Speaker 1: him after that. But it's a long season, Like he
Speaker 1: could still write the ship, and we've seen Aaronola how
Speaker 1: talented he could be. Is he was he gonna be
Speaker 1: a two point three seven e r A pitcher again
Speaker 1: this year? I think we all agreed coming in No,
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be in the low three's e r
Speaker 1: A Like I think that would be a good year
Speaker 1: from Aaronola. But something that's just not right with him.
Speaker 1: Right now. The swinging strike rate down four percent this year.
Speaker 1: The walks are up, Babban is extremely high, the hard
Speaker 1: hit rate is up, the home runs per nine are up.
Speaker 1: So it's it's been frustrating for Aaronola. If you can
Speaker 1: get top fifteen starting pitcher right now for him, Greg,
Speaker 1: you'd probably look into it. But am I just giving
Speaker 1: him up for the sake of giving him up? No, Frank,
Speaker 1: I don't want. Yes, I understand, we passed our time,
Speaker 1: but it is now four on the on the show
Speaker 1: gives you one more time, we will go with gives
Speaker 1: me one more time, alrighty. In the twenty nineteen NBA
Speaker 1: Draft Lottery simulator, the first overall pick goes to the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Sons. Congratulations, Chris Welsh. You land Zion Williamson a
Speaker 1: year after getting DeAndre eight and with the first overall pick.
Speaker 1: With the second world pick, Greg, the Atlanta Hawks will
Speaker 1: likely be selecting R. J. Barrett because they have their
Speaker 1: point guard of the future. And with the third overall pick,
Speaker 1: your New York Knickerbockers end up with John Murray. We'll
Speaker 1: take that. Take that. What's better than fit? Hustling a
Speaker 1: lot of similarities once again, see what happens? What do
Speaker 1: you get? Greg let the wrong pick? Two thousand nineteen
Speaker 1: NBA Draft The Chicago Balls, Scarboard Balls. Don't need the
Speaker 1: first pick, man, come on, followed by your Cleveland Cavaliers, third,
Speaker 1: the New Orleans in Pelicans, followed by Memphis Grizzly and
Speaker 1: your New your Nicks. Oh man, you've done this, maybe
Speaker 1: you combined six times? And how did you go? Pavona
Speaker 1: number one pick the Phoenix Suns and number two. Yeo
Speaker 1: y x he is good. You do a good one.
Speaker 1: You need do me one more time. You do a
Speaker 1: good one. Oh man, I kind of want to get
Speaker 1: the can I get like a can I get to
Speaker 1: the next break to do this? Sure, thank you, don't worry.
Speaker 1: We'll have another lottery coming up soon, a lottery could
Speaker 1: forty two? Do you own Aaron? Know what? Anywhere? I
Speaker 1: told you I was talked off of him. You were
Speaker 1: talking off of him because of Nick Follock. All right.
Speaker 1: On the other side, last night, Freddy Perralta four inings,
Speaker 1: seven hits, two runs, and they warned struck out five.
Speaker 1: I was encouraged by this. Freddy Parralta. I know you
Speaker 1: don't love him to pitch guy, but he was brought
Speaker 1: back into the rotation here, not exactly stretched out, but
Speaker 1: he pitched. Okay, it's a tough lineup. I'm actually surprised
Speaker 1: the Brewers didn't go with the openers. She's here too,
Speaker 1: because they brought in Jeremy Jeffers right after him too.
Speaker 1: And you knew that if you're only gonna allowed him
Speaker 1: to go four endings, why didn't you go with the
Speaker 1: opening strategy anyway, let someone else start off the game
Speaker 1: for an ending or two, and then bringing Freddy Peralta.
Speaker 1: And he looked pretty good his last time out where
Speaker 1: he went you know, five I believe it was five
Speaker 1: shoutout endings, and then yesterday it was all right. I mean,
Speaker 1: the seven hits is not great. I mean, granted it
Speaker 1: is against the Phillies, and he only allowed one earned run.
Speaker 1: He's did allow two runs the average over a strikeout
Speaker 1: for ending with five no walks. That's really good to see. Overall,
Speaker 1: I'm still not a Freddie Parulta guy. Greg. I'm not
Speaker 1: doing it for the Philadelphia Phillies. I can give you
Speaker 1: what the Brewers doing. Let me tell you what the Phillies.
Speaker 1: Because I was looking at picking up somebody yesterday, I
Speaker 1: didn't make the move I'm thinking about doing today. Caesar
Speaker 1: her nand is his fourth whole run of the year.
Speaker 1: Hernandez was two for three in the day with a walk.
Speaker 1: He's now nearly Yes, he's now batting a were three
Speaker 1: hundred with four homers, seventeen rives. He's got just three steals.
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you're playing in eight team league, folks,
Speaker 1: twelve team league, as you know, where they start one catcher,
Speaker 1: one outfielder, one utility. We start to utility. We do
Speaker 1: you start one catcher, we start more than one affielder.
Speaker 1: All right, anyway, stay, I shouldn't be a free agent. Greig.
Speaker 1: He's been hot. He's own so he's he's up there.
Speaker 1: But he's crushing it right now. I mean, he gets
Speaker 1: over three hundred and he's still giving you value even
Speaker 1: though he's not leading off anymore like he was last year.
Speaker 1: So you know, he's hitting a little bit lower down.
Speaker 1: He's hitting six in the order. Last year, he was awesome.
Speaker 1: Last year. He didn't do anything to get into motion.
Speaker 1: It's just is the nature of the beast. When it
Speaker 1: comes to the Philadelphia Phillies, they just brought in so
Speaker 1: much talent. They sign h Cutching, they bring him Bryce Harper,
Speaker 1: trade for Jean Sigura. So someone's got to drop down
Speaker 1: the lineup, and unfortunately it's been SE's our Hernandez. But
Speaker 1: wore home runs three fatting average, and remember last year
Speaker 1: he is crushing it. Believe he suffered some kind of
Speaker 1: injury which started to slow him down in the second
Speaker 1: half of the season, but still fifteen homers, nineteen stolen bases,
Speaker 1: ninety one runs scored. The guy's always had good plate discipline.
Speaker 1: The strikeouts are way down this yere last year was
Speaker 1: twenty one nine percent, this year thirteen and a half percent,
Speaker 1: So that's why you see the big jump and batting average.
Speaker 1: Rio six hitting the ball harder than ever before. He's
Speaker 1: he's your typical middle infield, so he's not a guy
Speaker 1: that's ever gonna hit the ball really hard. But to
Speaker 1: see in his career great he's twenty percent hard hit
Speaker 1: rate and this year he's all the way up to
Speaker 1: thirty four percent. That's a nice little jump fer season. Hernandez.
Speaker 1: I'm buying in. He's hot and I like him a lot.
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question for a friend who
Speaker 1: would you rather go? Right now? Says Hernandez or somebody
Speaker 1: you mentioned Isittary in the program Alnmus Diaz see her
Speaker 1: Nandez Seesar Hernandez or is he hot? No? All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, I do like Lenmus Marley Gonzalez home yesterday.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave him as soon as we get rid
Speaker 1: of him. Grad Look at that are nowadays? Are Julie Guariel,
Speaker 1: Caesar Nandez, Ronay. Death is not an option. I still
Speaker 1: take Caesar, But man, I love Ronnie, your dream, love

Speaker 1: That has to be the new open of the show.
Speaker 1: I will run through anything, right now, run through those
Speaker 1: glass windows. Greg, No, that was awesome. That was awesome.
Speaker 1: I'm really serious about making that like an alternate open,
Speaker 1: not alternate, be open, come down. I'm sure most people
Speaker 1: would agree to let's leave the New York Knicks like
Speaker 1: you gotta change the music, probably a little bit. He's
Speaker 1: the Knicks music, but like von Nuts. But it's perfect. Greg,
Speaker 1: I understand. I feel like we're adjusted a bit. I'll
Speaker 1: do with that cat. You got some work to do. Wow,
Speaker 1: you just created some more work for yourself by doing
Speaker 1: a great job. So there you go. Thanks and Greg,
Speaker 1: it's not timeing oh my god. It is four, oh
Speaker 1: my god, which means it's time for a simulation. Do
Speaker 1: do do do do do do do do Do Do.
Speaker 1: With the number one overall pick tonight, Zion Wimpson will
Speaker 1: land with the Cleveland Cavalier. It's my turn. Frank with
Speaker 1: the second overall pick, the Chicago Bulls. Convinced that Chris
Speaker 1: Dunn is not the point guard of the future, we'll
Speaker 1: take Jah mirand with the third pick, your New York
Speaker 1: Knicks select R. J. Barrett Turner, which I'm cool with.
Speaker 1: My turn. Let's get that top three man with the
Speaker 1: first overal pick, and that's one nineteen NBA drafts. I
Speaker 1: don't Williams goes to Memphis Grizzly that like that's a
Speaker 1: design Like the NBA won't let they're not let you guys.
Speaker 1: You know it's number two, not even go to Memphis.
Speaker 1: Number two. Martino's Boston Celtics trade chip and then the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks. This is the worst one, Martino. I just
Speaker 1: got nump. By the way, the Knicks are quote showing
Speaker 1: interest in Terry Rozier and Marcus Morris, so you have
Speaker 1: competition for your boys. No, they're both walking. I don't
Speaker 1: see them stay in either of them. So Greg and
Speaker 1: I were talking about this during the break. What kind
Speaker 1: of contract do you think Terry Rosier gets half of
Speaker 1: what he was expecting going into last summer. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think he'll be somewhere into the eight
Speaker 1: to ten range. Max, I don't think he's getting anything.
Speaker 1: But now, I mean it what a disastervice season. I mean,
Speaker 1: this stock couldn't have been high or after last year's playoffs,
Speaker 1: and he cost himself a ton of money. He was
Speaker 1: just on first take today pretty much ripping everybody on
Speaker 1: the Celtics. He's gone. Oh he's gone for sure. But
Speaker 1: that also costs him some money, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could come across as a locker room problem too.
Speaker 1: And if you're if you're the next you're trying to
Speaker 1: change your culture. Why would you want somebody like that?
Speaker 1: He restricted though, Right, so they can technically match if
Speaker 1: they wanted to. Yeah, they could match if they wanted to.
Speaker 1: But again, the Celtics do have the King's Pick as well,
Speaker 1: so even if that doesn't fall there, you could potentially
Speaker 1: get Kobe White, get him to back up whoever the
Speaker 1: hell it would be, whether it's Kyrie or Marcus Smart.
Speaker 1: So all right, we'll see what happens. I was saying, Greg,
Speaker 1: I think he gets like four for sixty. Just the
Speaker 1: way that the NBA free agency has gone the past
Speaker 1: couple of years. It's like the pay structure is so strange.
Speaker 1: Id get overpaid and he's still a young point guard
Speaker 1: and he showed flashes too. So yeah, I think he
Speaker 1: probably gets closer to four for sixty. But that's just me.
Speaker 1: I agree. It's gonna do baseball rapid fire blur, we
Speaker 1: hate you once again at nice check with the save
Speaker 1: last night, right, Hector Naris has pitched once since May three?
Speaker 1: What all right? You're you're a Gabe Kapler's guy. What
Speaker 1: do you got, Greg? Maybe he's hurt, Maybe he's hurt.
Speaker 1: Probably not. Last night seemed like Abe Kapler is probably
Speaker 1: just a clown makeup on this guy. By the way,
Speaker 1: I texted you guys last night because we got it
Speaker 1: live and live in color. Did he do it? Oh?
Speaker 1: He did it. Oh he did it. But he didn't
Speaker 1: give up a home run. Didn't give up the home
Speaker 1: run wasn't it wasn't a home run. It was not
Speaker 1: probably give a hit. He did it last night. I
Speaker 1: was so excited. It was probably like a flyball to
Speaker 1: the warning track. Probably that's all on Twitter. It was
Speaker 1: all over it. I love it. It's a robust another
Speaker 1: save last night. He seems like the guy. He seems
Speaker 1: like the guy right now. He's performing well. Why would
Speaker 1: it be anything different, Ty Butch multi and eton set
Speaker 1: up role. He's performing very well right now. Needs to
Speaker 1: be owned in saves plus holds leagues. He's been absolutely awesome.
Speaker 1: He's got zero point eight six e r A on
Speaker 1: the season. Sho Tani gets on the board. He hits
Speaker 1: his first home run last night and it was a
Speaker 1: bomb in opposite field. Bomb. I mean, that's how good
Speaker 1: this guy is. To go to left center field as
Speaker 1: a left handed batter off of one of the best
Speaker 1: pictures in baseball right now, and I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm overstating that when I say this off of
Speaker 1: Jose Burrios, that just shows you how good so Aotani
Speaker 1: really is. Baseball is just better with Otani in it.
Speaker 1: Ulbert Pools, Greg another three hits last night, gets batting
Speaker 1: average up to thirty. He also gets an RBI. Once again,
Speaker 1: I was kicking myself for picking up warmer Flora's over
Speaker 1: Albert Pools because warmer Flora is not in the lineup
Speaker 1: last night for the d Backs. Fool holes in the lineup,
Speaker 1: gets three hits, gets an RBI. If you need a
Speaker 1: corner infielder right now in a deeper league, Wolves is
Speaker 1: what thy well man, I like what I've seen. You
Speaker 1: wanted You wanted him over River Flores. That's right. So
Speaker 1: I'm kicking myself a little bit. Greg, Jose Berrios five
Speaker 1: and two thirds twelve. It's five earned runs, three strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Here is your regression game if I've ever seen one.
Speaker 1: There climbs up to three point zero five after this,
Speaker 1: but great fifteen it's post walks combined and five and
Speaker 1: two thirds and he's sitch that's gonna hurt the whip Frank,
Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt the whip quite a bit, quite a
Speaker 1: bit here, So I thought there were some regression coming
Speaker 1: for Jose Burrios. But see something like this, it is
Speaker 1: a little bit alarming. That's why yesterday when I was
Speaker 1: talking to Ventra and he was talking about Jose Burrios
Speaker 1: is one of the best pitchers in the league right now,
Speaker 1: and he ends a bit of an over statement. He's
Speaker 1: got a three point zero five ear A, he's got
Speaker 1: a four point one seven x fit right now. The
Speaker 1: guy's pitching the fly balls fly balls this year, um,
Speaker 1: and he's not giving up as many home runs as
Speaker 1: has been expected. I mean, he gave up how many
Speaker 1: did you give up last night? Gave up to home
Speaker 1: runs last night. So you see, you see some of
Speaker 1: that regression last night, the fact that he's giving up
Speaker 1: as many homesh fly balls as he is. The weather
Speaker 1: starts to heat up a little bit in Minnesota, Jose
Speaker 1: Barrios is gonna give up some home runs. I love, love,
Speaker 1: love that he's not walking as many batters this year.
Speaker 1: He had three walks last night, but overall in the
Speaker 1: season one point six eight walks per nine. That's great
Speaker 1: to see, but also not getting as many swings, swings
Speaker 1: and mrs. So we know he's talented. On the fastball
Speaker 1: is a huge, sweeping, breaking pitch, whatever you wanna call it,
Speaker 1: a slurve. He's talented, but I do think some regression
Speaker 1: is in order. Greggy. He's probably more of a mid
Speaker 1: three's e r A picture, and that's fine if he
Speaker 1: If he's a mid three's e r A picture, Greg,
Speaker 1: with a let's say one point one five whip mid
Speaker 1: three d R A one point one five whip with
Speaker 1: a strikeout per anny in that division, he's gonna severely
Speaker 1: out per form where he was drafted. He's probably a
Speaker 1: top fifteen starting pitcher he if he puts that kind
Speaker 1: of season together, which I think he's capable of. But
Speaker 1: the picture that we saw early on this year, Greg,
Speaker 1: I just think that we should temper expectations a little bit.
Speaker 1: I don't think Jose Burrios is a guy that he
Speaker 1: showed us early on in the season. I still like
Speaker 1: him a lot, and he could put together a top
Speaker 1: fifteen starting pitcher season, but he's not the guy that
Speaker 1: we saw early on. He's not like a sub two
Speaker 1: ear a kind of guy. Sub three ear A, Well,
Speaker 1: he could have been here to defend his boy, but
Speaker 1: he's not your boy. That's correct. You want to jump
Speaker 1: around j J. Roddy Rodriguez keeps it going. Last night,
Speaker 1: two more hits, a stolen base, No, who didn't have it?
Speaker 1: Matt Boyd four and he's pitched five hits, three runs,
Speaker 1: two walks to strikeouts. I'm gonna give Matthew boy to
Speaker 1: pass on this one. And here's why, Greg Houston Astros
Speaker 1: are red hot. DA have scored fifty two runs over
Speaker 1: the last week of baseball. I mean, they're putting up
Speaker 1: football numbers when it comes to their their offensive output.
Speaker 1: So kind of hard to to to to start a
Speaker 1: picture against them right now. But again, like I said
Speaker 1: about Nolah, I'll say the same thing for Boyd. He
Speaker 1: would have been in my line up because he's a
Speaker 1: two star pitcher. Just really hate using pictures against the Brewers,
Speaker 1: against the Astros, um against any of these you know,
Speaker 1: awesome offenses right now. And we saw last night with
Speaker 1: Matt Boyd, even as good as he's been, the swinging
Speaker 1: strikes are down. Um doesn't get the strikeouts and gives
Speaker 1: up some home runs. That's just because he runs into
Speaker 1: a team that's red hot in the Houston Astros, and
Speaker 1: why are they hot? Gregg. Part of it has to
Speaker 1: do with Ledginus DZ who I said yesterday, I like
Speaker 1: a lot in the short term if you're a jose
Speaker 1: Al Twoba owner, or if you need a middle infielder,
Speaker 1: you need a second baseman here shortstop eligibility as well.
Speaker 1: Lemus DS is going to play every single day for
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros for the short term. Maybe it's the
Speaker 1: next two or three weeks. As long as Josel two
Speaker 1: Bay is out and he's performing well, Greg two hits
Speaker 1: home run Diaz. We get all the playing time without
Speaker 1: um Josel to Bay in the lineup. We also mentioned
Speaker 1: Seattle in the big home run from Dan Vogel Box.
Speaker 1: Before we get to Seattle, all right, it is we
Speaker 1: have a simulation do do doo doo doo doo doo
Speaker 1: doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Speaker 1: doo doo doo doo doo. With the first overall picks,
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson will be playing for the Memphis Grizzlies. The
Speaker 1: second overall pick goes to the Phoenix Suns. Third orall
Speaker 1: pick goes to the Atlanta Hawks. This goes wrong too
Speaker 1: many times. The fourth overall pick goes to the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 1: The next trade with the fifth orall pick, YO, New
Speaker 1: York Knicks. How about that, Greg? How about if they
Speaker 1: miss out on Cam Reddish and the top three? That'd
Speaker 1: be nice? Huh? Should I run it? Frank? Let's go?
Speaker 1: I mean, give me some good news here, Greg, all right,
Speaker 1: give me something good? Yeah, something good. With the number
Speaker 1: one pick in the twenty nine NBA draft, Zion Williamson
Speaker 1: goes to Is like, I go, We've probably done this
Speaker 1: like ten or twelve times. The Knicks got the number
Speaker 1: one once, Nicks. That's basically the odds right, one out
Speaker 1: of twelve. I have to say, I'm doing mine down here, um,
Speaker 1: and mine came up the Knicks. I got the Knicks
Speaker 1: two times in the row. I hate this. Hate this.
Speaker 1: We're sending you instead of Patrick Ewing gosh man, what
Speaker 1: a disaster? All right, Greig? Anything else from this game?
Speaker 1: Brad Peacock was fine. I watched some of the start.
Speaker 1: Uh seven hits plus walks combined in five inning. He
Speaker 1: was okay. The pitch count got up a little bit here,
Speaker 1: eight eight pitches in five innings. Pitch. I mean, we've
Speaker 1: said this about Peacock before. It's it's quality over quantity.
Speaker 1: You want to see more strikeouts here only three strikeouts
Speaker 1: going up against the Detroit Tigers. Not a great line up,
Speaker 1: only seven swinging strikes, so it should have been better.
Speaker 1: But you'll take it one and run five innings pass.
Speaker 1: He gets you the win too. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: gonna give you quality starts much because it seems like
Speaker 1: that fifth aning of lot of times is the cut
Speaker 1: off for Brad Peacock. But I do agree that I
Speaker 1: do think that he should be owned, obviously more so
Speaker 1: than m Yeah, if he actually be own, I agree.
Speaker 1: Nothing has changed for me there leading the Athletics and
Speaker 1: the Mariners. Here, umchi, he goes six and five hits,
Speaker 1: three runs, he shrugged out five, He louded three runs,
Speaker 1: three runs all on Homer's all solo shots from Mark Canna,
Speaker 1: Matt Olson, La Man, and Crush Davis, who who word
Speaker 1: twice on the evening. Mike Fires allowed just one run,
Speaker 1: two hits in the first game since his no hitter.
Speaker 1: Uh he walked through he struck out four, including a
Speaker 1: leadoff shot to Mitch Hanneger last night, Gregg, you don't
Speaker 1: look now, but you say Cacuchi coming around a little bit.
Speaker 1: Over his past three starts. We all remember the Pine
Speaker 1: Tower against the Yankees. That's perfectly fine, but a two
Speaker 1: point one eight e r a where his last three
Speaker 1: starts still the seven point eight case per nine. But
Speaker 1: I really like the command that I've seen the past
Speaker 1: three starts, only four walks one point seven four walks
Speaker 1: per nine during that span. He's gonna get thinged up
Speaker 1: for some home runs at some at times. We saw
Speaker 1: that last night against the Oakland A's. But Cocuchi. Don't
Speaker 1: give up on the guy yet. Looks like he is
Speaker 1: coming around a little bit here. And we we've said
Speaker 1: this about UM Japanese pictures when they come over normally
Speaker 1: their first season, they put together a really nice season
Speaker 1: because the first time that teams get to see them UM,
Speaker 1: it's a transition. It's a transition for hitters to pick
Speaker 1: up on the ball. He obviously has um a little
Speaker 1: bit of a different delivery than other pitches Pictures, but
Speaker 1: overall the past three starts, that's closer to the picture
Speaker 1: that you were hoping to get coming into the season.
Speaker 1: When it comes to you, say Cacuchi, Mitch Haniger leads
Speaker 1: this game off with a home run, Greggy, Uh Gordon
Speaker 1: pitch runs here, not swinging a bat yet still dealing
Speaker 1: with the risk thing. But is he rich runs, steals,
Speaker 1: the base run scored, So I think we're getting closer
Speaker 1: to seeing d Gordon in the line up. I don't
Speaker 1: know that he's there yet, and I do wonder what
Speaker 1: happens is it is that just the end of it
Speaker 1: for shed Long? Um we start to see JP Crawford
Speaker 1: losom playing time. JP Crawford goes over five last night
Speaker 1: after and I think he had four hits the three
Speaker 1: games combined coming into this one over the weekend. But
Speaker 1: he goes over five with with two strikeouts and a
Speaker 1: run scored. So not really great performance from JP Crawford
Speaker 1: or shed Long. Shed Long goes over two as well.
Speaker 1: It was nice to see Chris Davis get back on
Speaker 1: the board here. Greggy two home runs, two solo shots,
Speaker 1: but he was battling a hip injury. You might have
Speaker 1: even had questions about how much he was gonna play
Speaker 1: this week, but he's in the line up last night
Speaker 1: and it hits two home runs. Would you like to
Speaker 1: gets his batting average right now? Greg Close, close, standard,
Speaker 1: Chris Davis, absolutely anything else, Frank, the whole the Matdilson
Speaker 1: home run did come off couch. He really like to
Speaker 1: see that. I was watching this game last night while
Speaker 1: I was doing more Game of Thrones research. Did you
Speaker 1: find any interesting? Um? I mean, I watched so much
Speaker 1: stuff last night, dude, like watch probably an hour's worth it.
Speaker 1: Like George R. Martin interviews is I'm I'm on another
Speaker 1: level right now. But all the all the mean the meantime,
Speaker 1: I had baseball on in the background, I was watching
Speaker 1: Shane Beaver, I was watching Kuchi was washing all what's happened?
Speaker 1: It was nice to see Madelson gets on the board. Here.
Speaker 1: It's is second home run of the season and it
Speaker 1: comes off the left handed pitcher. So I really like
Speaker 1: to see that. Great. Sure, we have a minute left
Speaker 1: in the program, Frank, you know what that means? What
Speaker 1: does that mean? Lucarino, by the way, you got blown
Speaker 1: up yesterday with three run homer too, Dan Vogel Boch,
Speaker 1: we have a minute left. That means only one thing, Avona.
Speaker 1: You're doing one more time? Do do do do do
Speaker 1: do do do do do it stuff is not it's
Speaker 1: really for bones. Whenever we're ready here do do do
Speaker 1: do do do do trying to do it tank, you
Speaker 1: know what that means. Here we going six hours in
Speaker 1: thirty one minutes in counting until the draft lottery, which
Speaker 1: means we are simming. And with these number one Diane
Speaker 1: Williamson will be Hey Cleveland Cavalier. The second pick gos
Speaker 1: to Phoenix Sons, the third pick gos to the Sicago Bulls,
Speaker 1: the four pick goes into Dallas Mavericks. The fifth pick
Speaker 1: goes to your New York And here it is my
Speaker 1: final sim of the day. With the first pick overall
Speaker 1: in it's NBA draft Zion Williamson goes to and then
Speaker 1: Phis Grislies. You've been getting the Grizzlies a lot, followed
Speaker 1: by the little the two pick Los Angeles Lakers, Oh God,
Speaker 1: followed by the third pick. Next, let's getting that top three, Greggy.
Speaker 1: Let's get in that top three, Greggy. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good shot of one. Let's do it. I want
Speaker 1: to Chris Welsh for joining us. I wanted Chris doing
Speaker 1: a fantastic job. Or Tina as well, and all of
Speaker 1: you for joining us into his backery. Frank Stample, oh

Speaker 1: and maybe Zion Williamson will be on the next. We
