Speaker 1: believe there were seven starting pitchers that gave up five
Speaker 1: or more earned runs yesterday, just absolutely through the roof.
Speaker 1: We also had some prospect ups. We get to talk
Speaker 1: about some of that, which I'm excited to do. But
Speaker 1: of course we want to tell you guys. Leading Off
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Bet three six five. You

Speaker 1: see Bubba in the house once I can find the
Speaker 1: marker there, Buba, what is up? My brother wearing the
Speaker 1: Peoria Havelina's hat which very apropos. I received the af
Speaker 1: the AFL schedule yesterday, so I know where all the
Speaker 1: games are and all the craziness. So uh, hat tip
Speaker 1: to you for the Arizona Fall League representation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of my favorite hats from last year. I
Speaker 2: had to get a Scorpions one too, because those are
Speaker 2: pretty sweet. They didn't have the size from my big
Speaker 2: dome this past year, but yeah, looking forward to it. Man,
Speaker 2: We're going to be out there and seeing you in
Speaker 2: a couple of months, which is crazy. So always a
Speaker 2: fun way.
Speaker 1: Hat size. Are you over seven and a half?
Speaker 2: This one is a seven. I go anywhere from seven
Speaker 2: and three quarters to an eight to an eight. Bruce Bochi,
Speaker 2: I'm a Bruce Bochie type.
Speaker 1: You're a Juice Williams type of guy. I remember Juice
Speaker 1: Williams Illinois. Yeah, you are a Bruce Bochie type of guy.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a strong seven and a half and
Speaker 1: then I think sometimes hair depending. I can even rock
Speaker 1: a seven and three eighths, that's the thing. So just
Speaker 1: had you know, as everybody knows they want to exc.
Speaker 2: I don't have any hair to worry about. It could
Speaker 2: be in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, you would be rocking the Bruce bochiness of it.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 1: Right, let's get into action, Let's get into all of
Speaker 1: it here, Let's get into Juan Soto. When are we
Speaker 1: going to stop letting Joe do in perpetuity home run bets,
Speaker 1: especially for the best players. I think we should. We
Speaker 1: need to do like a draft or a wheel where
Speaker 1: we spin it and we don't allow someone like Juan
Speaker 1: Soto or Aaron Judge to be in perpetuity because, by God,
Speaker 1: he might end up taking this whole soucker down. He
Speaker 1: might take this whole soucker down. Juan Soto yesterday three
Speaker 1: for four, three homers for RBI in Tuesday's win over
Speaker 1: the White Sox. I also saw a stat someone put
Speaker 1: out that it was like career hits of Oneo Cruz
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety two career homers of Juan Soto
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety two, which and they're like the
Speaker 1: same age practically. Wan Soto so continues to defy the odds.
Speaker 1: And I believe that was his first three home run.
Speaker 2: Game of the year. Bubba, Yes, it was yeah, first
Speaker 2: of his career, our career, Yah, his career, first of
Speaker 2: his career. So yeah, he's ridiculous what he's doing to
Speaker 2: get a fat stack of cash at the end of
Speaker 2: this year. And on Bubba and the Bloom last night,
Speaker 2: we did barrel percentage in K percentage. Guys, one soda
Speaker 2: this year has a higher barrel rate than strikeout rate
Speaker 2: on the season.
Speaker 1: Is that for real? Hold on, I'm going to list that.
Speaker 2: Yes, he has a higher barrel Was this Aaron, Yes,
Speaker 2: a bloom board Aaron. Judge is the only other one
Speaker 2: to do it. Bloom didn't tweet it out yet. He
Speaker 2: might have tweeted it out this morning, but yeah, Judge
Speaker 2: is also on that list. And last year the only
Speaker 2: player to do it was Ronald 'cuon.
Speaker 1: I almost cursed. I'm gonna be honest with you, I
Speaker 1: almost cursed here. That wouldn't have been good. Twenty point
Speaker 1: two percent barrel rate for one sodo fifteen point four
Speaker 1: percent k rate. Here's another one. Many times have you
Speaker 1: ever seen a guy I mean, I guess it's probably
Speaker 1: one and the same. But his barrel rates also higher
Speaker 1: than his walk rate. His strikeout rate and walk rate combined,
Speaker 1: I mean, not like combined combined, But that's an absurd,
Speaker 1: absurd number. And would you say only Ronald Acunya had
Speaker 1: a higher barrel rate things.
Speaker 2: Last last year? Last year was a Kunya was the
Speaker 2: only one? Yeah? Wow? And right and right now Judge
Speaker 2: is the only other one with Soto this year, and
Speaker 2: Corey Seeger and show He Tany are like two percentage
Speaker 2: points away, so we almost have four guys.
Speaker 1: See this real quick? Do you think there was a
Speaker 1: bet that was out like a month ago or so
Speaker 1: where it was Aaron Judge versus the field and it
Speaker 1: was for MVP. Sorry, and I saw that and I
Speaker 1: was always tempted to, you know, play that field marker.
Speaker 1: Do you think that Aaron Judge is the unanimous MVP
Speaker 1: over onon Sodo? Because I would almost argue, like what
Speaker 1: Sodo has been doing, he should be the one. I know,
Speaker 1: like Judge, you know the home run totals are going,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, man. I look at what one
Speaker 1: Soto's doing and I feel like that's the MVP of
Speaker 1: this team.
Speaker 2: I'm with you because if you look at it, when
Speaker 2: one Soto's going, the Yankees win. When Aaron Judge goes,
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge just goes. So that's kind of how it works.
Speaker 2: So I'm with you on that one. I actually have
Speaker 2: a bet with Ryan preseason bet because they're drafted next
Speaker 2: to each other. I took Soto, he took Judge. They're
Speaker 2: basically the top two players on any player raider you
Speaker 2: see right now. So pretty fun stuff. That is pretty fun.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. By the way, I wanted to put these.
Speaker 1: These made me laugh. Jim not a seven and a half.
Speaker 1: I'm a ten in Jim's Thank you Jim, and Sabo
Speaker 1: Bubba is going to bankrupt a high school team with
Speaker 1: the with the trying to get those helmets, those some
Speaker 1: big helmets.
Speaker 2: You should have saw that helmet and those pads. It
Speaker 2: was a thick look going around campus.
Speaker 1: Do you think a man? This is the tough question.
Speaker 1: Where is Soto in the in the ranks of next year?
Speaker 1: Like do you think he is one, two, three? Like?
Speaker 1: How does that line out for you?
Speaker 2: It's funny because we started talking about that last night
Speaker 2: because next Wednesday we do our two early Draft champions draft,
Speaker 2: which everyone makes fun of us for. Yeah, and we
Speaker 2: figured it's wit Judge and I was totally o Tawny
Speaker 2: top three and then you have like your bets and
Speaker 2: Soto right behind him, it feels like bets Soto, Ellie,
Speaker 2: it's a so he's I'd say Soto is a top
Speaker 2: five six player right now in my opinion. Everyone harps
Speaker 2: on the stolen base issue, but dude, the four of
Speaker 2: the categories, he just destroys him.
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna put up he might put up
Speaker 1: forty something Homer forty five, forty two, something like that,
Speaker 1: three hundred average. He's got one hundred runs already.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's already.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. That has to be leading. I don't know
Speaker 1: that there's there's something to be said that, Like he
Speaker 1: might be number two, like he might.
Speaker 2: Be like I think Wit is kind of you take
Speaker 2: him over Wit.
Speaker 1: Well, who's number one?
Speaker 2: Well you have Wit? You have show? Hey?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, showy? Was they gonna show? Hey? No, no
Speaker 1: show Hey?
Speaker 2: Number one?
Speaker 1: Wit too?
Speaker 2: And Judge. So it's between him and Judge.
Speaker 1: What you're saying, Yeah, I'm in I think you can
Speaker 1: go either way. I'm like Soda in that regard, like
Speaker 1: that's fair.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna argue that.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe like head to head, Judge just
Speaker 1: for what he can do for Homers in a given
Speaker 1: week roto, maybe Sodo roto.
Speaker 2: So I think that's fair because I had had to
Speaker 2: head Judge could single handily whin you a week, like
Speaker 2: play a third of the season at least, yeah, at
Speaker 2: least where Soda might long term.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, we got a Soda over Judge. This
Speaker 1: is always a really interesting one retro saying this wait
Speaker 1: for MVP, but also that Judge and Sodo cancel each
Speaker 1: other out. There is kind of something to that when
Speaker 1: two teams have two great players. Kind of the conversation
Speaker 1: we had at one point about Otani and Mookie Bets
Speaker 1: and that, like they were so good and then like
Speaker 1: you throw Freddy Freeman in there, that might hurt a
Speaker 1: guy like Otani, But I don't know. I think I
Speaker 1: think they all kind of come to terms with like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's going to be one of those Yankee guys because
Speaker 1: of the ridiculous season. But one Sodo season just continues
Speaker 1: to get ridiculous, and I am it's very unfortunate. As
Speaker 1: we were talking, I got the home run board and
Speaker 1: just a gross thing to look at. Speaking of the
Speaker 1: Yankee zo, it's not all beautiful. Aaron Boone told reporters,
Speaker 1: I believe this was like the beginning of yesterday, jazz
Speaker 1: Chism been diagnosed with a left UCL injury. Oswald Perraza
Speaker 1: is going to be called up in replacement. This is
Speaker 1: the worry man, you know, in all of the like,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, the biggest beneficiary at the trade deadline
Speaker 1: is jazz Chisholm. I said that, and I want to
Speaker 1: say it might have even been Bogman. I don't know
Speaker 1: if Joe did it. You know, Joe might have actually
Speaker 1: also said this, and maybe he was the primary one.
Speaker 1: But you got to worry about the injury history with
Speaker 1: jazz Chism, and you're just kind of like, well, it's
Speaker 1: a short time period, it's two months, and then Jazz
Speaker 1: comes out absolutely hot, and then it happens. The injury bug,
Speaker 1: like he I called him a year and a half ago,
Speaker 1: called him the modern Gian Carlos Stanton. As far as
Speaker 1: just he is an injury plagued player. There's always something
Speaker 1: that's going on. This UCL injury. I hear UCL, and
Speaker 1: I assume this might be the year. I don't think
Speaker 1: they've given anything designation of it or anything like that.
Speaker 1: But absolutely devastating for fantasy people too, because jazz was
Speaker 1: taking another step with the Yankees.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. He got the injury or tweaked it worse,
Speaker 2: I guess diving headfirst into home plate. So that's always fun.
Speaker 2: Like you said, that's how he plays though, that's where
Speaker 2: the a lot of the injuries come from. But yeah,
Speaker 2: taking things to the next level. They have not ruled
Speaker 2: surgery off the table. They're gonna do a few more
Speaker 2: tests to see. Being an offensive player not a pitcher
Speaker 2: so much. Can he just do the rehab situation. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not good either way. I have a hunch he's
Speaker 2: done for the season or too, So that's no good.
Speaker 1: His highest batting average of any given month was this
Speaker 1: month in August with the Yankees. He had had a
Speaker 1: couple two seventy months, but he was hitting homers. He
Speaker 1: was stealing bases again too. He had nine in July,
Speaker 1: he had four in four and essentially thirty eight at
Speaker 1: bats this month. I mean, he really was taking a
Speaker 1: next step and that one's that's a pretty brutal blow.
Speaker 1: Brutal blow for the Yankees too, and everything they're trying
Speaker 1: to put together. We will Praza do anything for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your nay.
Speaker 2: I keep an eye on him. He's actually started hitting
Speaker 2: over the last month, he's looking a lot better. So
Speaker 2: if you look at a season stats, they're not great.
Speaker 2: The last month closer to three hundred, little power, little speed,
Speaker 2: Probably not anything except deeper formats at this point in time,
Speaker 2: but just keep an eye on him. That could be
Speaker 2: a late season stream.
Speaker 1: One big pickup for a lot of people. And the
Speaker 1: guy we talked about so much on this show, Junior
Speaker 1: Cameronaro Junior camerera official debut. I think this was did
Speaker 1: we get the new I don't remember if we even
Speaker 1: talked about this on Monday. I think it might have
Speaker 1: happened right after, which is totally unfortunate, especially now that
Speaker 1: we don't have the Tuesday Thursday shows, so we didn't
Speaker 1: get time to talk to you about it. But it
Speaker 1: did officially happen. I would say a mixed debut in
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit where I think things could go.
Speaker 1: Where he hits, he gets a single, puts up a
Speaker 1: one sixteen point three Max TV on that single, other
Speaker 1: three at bats, three strikeouts. So backtrack a little bit.
Speaker 1: I just did Prospect one and we were talking talking
Speaker 1: like me and Tim Kinnak were talking about the call
Speaker 1: up and kind of the insanity of it and trying
Speaker 1: to understand it, because I will still say this like
Speaker 1: this right now is the period where, like everybody would
Speaker 1: if you have real baseball on fantasy, you would look
Speaker 1: back and you would go, what are we doing? Why
Speaker 1: did he not come up any earlier? We completely lost
Speaker 1: the season for him. But then now we're also and
Speaker 1: this is more of the real life thing. He's also
Speaker 1: going to lose his prospect eligibility, so like, why are
Speaker 1: we doing this? I figured something out on the fly.
Speaker 1: I just want to point out. It doesn't really mean
Speaker 1: a lot to everybody here, but I figured something out
Speaker 1: on the fly. When I did Prospect one, which is
Speaker 1: releasing today, I remembered that September the days on the
Speaker 1: roster do not count toward your eligibility because there are
Speaker 1: two Yeah, I forgot about this and I remembered it live.
Speaker 1: There are two factors to losing your prospect eligibility for
Speaker 1: a hitter. It at bats and it's days on the roster.
Speaker 1: So if you looked at the call up, you're like
Speaker 1: forty five days on the roster. He's gonna max that out. No,
Speaker 1: he's not, because as soon as September hits, those days
Speaker 1: do not count towards losing your eligibility.
Speaker 2: Hey, the math eighte math in on this one.
Speaker 1: So he has like, let's say he had thirty four
Speaker 1: at bats last year, that was call it fifteen days, right,
Speaker 1: Let's just say that there's only eighteen more days since
Speaker 1: his call up or seventeen. That's not forty five days.
Speaker 1: So now all they have to do is not have
Speaker 1: him go one hundred and thirty eight bats to end
Speaker 1: the season and he doesn't lose his prospect eligibility. So
Speaker 1: Sebel says, I'm lost a repeat one last time. To
Speaker 1: lose your prospect eligibility, you have to be on the
Speaker 1: major league roster for forty five days or have one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty at bats. The days would be gone
Speaker 1: since he just got called up, except per ten September
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. So now if if the team doesn't have
Speaker 1: him have one hundred and thirty at bats, he will
Speaker 1: be prospect eligible for next season. This isn't really fantasy
Speaker 1: relevant outside of you guys that maybe have fantasy leagues
Speaker 1: that you can hold prospects under if they're still prospect eligible.
Speaker 1: But I have not been able to understand why would
Speaker 1: they bring him up right now, when you're getting almost
Speaker 1: nothing out of him and you're going to lose his
Speaker 1: prospect eligibility, he might not lose his prospect eligibility if
Speaker 1: they have him sit games, and three strikeout games might
Speaker 1: be a reason that they maybe play him two out
Speaker 1: of three days. So if he doesn't have one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty played appearances, he can still be a rookie
Speaker 1: next year. So just I wanted to unload that. I
Speaker 1: know it's it's obviously confusing. It's a weird, stupid baseball
Speaker 1: rule that September days on the roster do not count
Speaker 1: towards your prospect eligibility.
Speaker 2: Why, I have no idea.
Speaker 1: All of that said, you saw the good and you
Speaker 1: saw the bad of Junior Camonaro. Everyone's going to roll
Speaker 1: him out. He's obviously a must pick up at this point,
Speaker 1: but I am not sold a that he is going
Speaker 1: to play every single day and B that it's really
Speaker 1: going to be massively fantasy relevant. You're going to see
Speaker 1: some of the pitch recognition stuff with those strikeouts, but
Speaker 1: one sixteen also shows you the pure raw power bubble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, the talent's great. Now you clarified so
Speaker 2: many questions I had because I had we had this
Speaker 2: long discussion last night, like what are they doing? They're
Speaker 2: going to lose the perks to all this. It made
Speaker 2: no sense. So they're like part of me and you
Speaker 2: don't have to know the answer this obviously is if
Speaker 2: games don't exist in September, then why do they have
Speaker 2: bats exist in September? Like that doesn't make any sense,
Speaker 2: Like we can't it's that's bizarre world. But that's it's
Speaker 2: an old up, So there you go.
Speaker 1: It's an old rule to the forty man remember in
Speaker 1: September when forty mans and all the guys would come
Speaker 1: up on the roster. So it was a rule that
Speaker 1: like the teams wouldn't be penalized with their players if
Speaker 1: they're just sitting on this this raw. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: don't and it they never changed it, so that's viable.
Speaker 1: So like I know, it's it's a way. I'm just pointing,
Speaker 1: it's a way for the race they manipulate. Manipulated loophole.
Speaker 1: It is a definite loophole. Yeah, and you know they're
Speaker 1: gonna find that loophole. But you know, pay attention to
Speaker 1: what J Junior Camenaro's games games used or actually are
Speaker 1: and a great sign to the pure raw power one
Speaker 1: sixteen is there. Let's see how he adjusts. We know
Speaker 1: adjustments have been kind of up and down. Speaking of
Speaker 1: another prospect, James Wood four for five double in an RBI,
Speaker 1: three runs scored yesterday. All three of Wood's hits were
Speaker 1: one oh two point five or harder, which is very impressive,
Speaker 1: and he's now up to a two eighty three bat
Speaker 1: batting average with a two seventy OBP. The free James
Speaker 1: Wood campaign has worked out very well, and James Wood
Speaker 1: has been the prospect you've wanted to own really from
Speaker 1: the onset. He's the only one that has kind of
Speaker 1: maintained that Jackson Holiday is back. Obviously, Cam and Aro
Speaker 1: has been a disappointment because he hasn't got called up.
Speaker 1: But James Wood is the guy next year, mister Casey Bubba,
Speaker 1: James Wood or Junior Cam.
Speaker 2: I'll go James would. I believe Camon Arrow is pretty
Speaker 2: darn solid, but I'll go James Wood on this one.
Speaker 2: I love what I'm seeing here and he keeps getting better.
Speaker 2: You mentioned like the improvements last sixteen games, nearly hitting
Speaker 2: four hundred sixteen run score thirteen rbiyes a couple of
Speaker 2: home runs, four steals. He's doing it all, so I'll
Speaker 2: take that.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for even like I just broke the
Speaker 1: chat's brain. Did Yeah, everybody's brain.
Speaker 2: Trying to it looks like Charlie from Always Sunny right
Speaker 2: now trying to put the board together.
Speaker 1: Sabo said, my GPS sent me to a cliff, Like everybody,
Speaker 1: I just broke everybody's brain with that. All I was
Speaker 1: trying to tell you is if there's a really smart
Speaker 1: person in the Rais organization, this is why they did
Speaker 1: it here. Because they found the loophole of how to
Speaker 1: continue to manipulate and hold him hostage. They can continue
Speaker 1: doing that. Another rookie, Zebbie Matthews, who we talked about.
Speaker 1: Zebby has been a pickup for me mentioned I saw
Speaker 1: you tweet about this stat. I talked about this on Monday.
Speaker 1: But seven walks in the minor leagues all year, I
Speaker 1: don't care what level it is. Well and Irony, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it in a second. It's I mentioned
Speaker 1: it's George kirby esky yesterday, but it's that same idea
Speaker 1: of a guy that can hit high nineties with a fastball.
Speaker 1: He commands really well. He does not walk guys, and
Speaker 1: kind of due to that command, he gets higher K numbers.
Speaker 1: That's who Zebby is. Well. Zebby went out and had
Speaker 1: a really solid outing, two earned runs over five innings,
Speaker 1: struck out five, did not walk anybody. I'm gonna pull
Speaker 1: up his other metrics here, but why don't you talk
Speaker 1: to me what you thought about Zebbi because I think
Speaker 1: even though the rookie pitchers are really volatile, he was
Speaker 1: kind of a must pick up for me just based
Speaker 1: on his arsenal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was outstanding that the arsenals, like
Speaker 2: you said, is a lot of these rookie guys, there's
Speaker 2: volatility in the command. That's just kind of what we see.
Speaker 2: We're not seeing that with Zebbi throughout the miners. And
Speaker 2: you got the quick jump high aaa as you've probably
Speaker 2: discussed as well. But seeing him do it against a
Speaker 2: Royals team that's hitting well, he struck out Bobby wit
Speaker 2: for crying out loud like that's pretty good STUF. So
Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued with Joe Ryan essentially out for the season,
Speaker 2: Chris Paddock still is barely throwing a baseball. There's room
Speaker 2: for David Festa and Zebbe Matthews to coexist for a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks if not the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued by that potential out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and looking at his stuff, this is interesting because
Speaker 1: this is this is how I think that this is
Speaker 1: the type of guy. How he's going to get away
Speaker 1: with stuff. On his fastball. He had fifteen swings against
Speaker 1: the fastball, only one whiff, So I don't see this.
Speaker 1: This is not going to be one of the like
Speaker 1: they're going to be looking for other stuff because the
Speaker 1: inverse he had eleven called strikes on the fastball, so
Speaker 1: it was a atrocious whiff pitch, but csw percentage you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to fast and pitcherless thirty two percent. That
Speaker 1: was the second best of his pitches. So the overall
Speaker 1: value when you put in called and strikes, the fastball
Speaker 1: gets it done. It was a low percentage slider with
Speaker 1: twenty five percent with right but thirty eight percent on
Speaker 1: the cutter. And you know, he maintained all his zone stuff.
Speaker 1: He actually had a really low in zone swing percentage
Speaker 1: on pitches. So I think that part has to do
Speaker 1: with like them not knowing and having a pitch mix
Speaker 1: on this guy, but he kind of kept you know,
Speaker 1: fastball in the zone, kept the secondaries out of the
Speaker 1: zone through a little bit of a curveball in there.
Speaker 1: I think there's just a lot to be positive about.
Speaker 1: He's a guy that I would probably keep rolling out there,
Speaker 1: pick him up if he's available. I thought that start
Speaker 1: was a really good one. A bad start was my
Speaker 1: boy George Kirby, who was obliterated for eleven earned runs,
Speaker 1: thirteen hits, three and two thirds of an inning. But
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would be fascinated to know if
Speaker 1: like a DFS contest was messed by this or something
Speaker 1: like that. But they then ruled later an error which
Speaker 1: took away I believe five of the earned runs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: five earned runs. It took away. And I saw Scott
Speaker 1: White tweet this that he's era in one day went
Speaker 1: from three to one to three seven down to three
Speaker 1: four when it was fixed, like BP pup up. That's
Speaker 1: how much it changed. Kirby got absolutely obliterated, and unfortunately
Speaker 1: he's good for like two of these a year. He's
Speaker 1: good for like two of these outings every single year,
Speaker 1: and there's no rhyme or reason when it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Why it's gonna happen. But he was absolutely destroyed. There
Speaker 1: was a Grand Slam in there, thirteen hits. Jake Rodgers
Speaker 1: were gonna talk about in a little bit, and let's
Speaker 1: see the fourth would have left, and yeah, they were
Speaker 1: talking about this is a note on rotal World. Was interesting.
Speaker 1: Was like like even the Grand Slam wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: a home run in a lot of other places. So
Speaker 1: it just he gave up just some poor hits, some
Speaker 1: poor luck in there, and he just gets locked out
Speaker 1: for like two or three games a year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's it's pretty wild how these great pitchers all
Speaker 2: have these hiccups, and it just stinks that it happens
Speaker 2: in mid August this year. If you're trying to go
Speaker 2: for a championship, it's when you least needed this to happen.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of disappointed too. I mean, I was clearly
Speaker 1: a really big Kirby guy, and I was like in
Speaker 1: a good spot with that three to one era. You know,
Speaker 1: he could have finished out the It's gonna be really difficult,
Speaker 1: impossible to finish under a three era at this point.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be one of those middling years. But I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. I'm not super big into the whole. Like
Speaker 1: if you extrapolate and take you know, two start but
Speaker 1: you know sometimes with some guys it would be interesting
Speaker 1: you take away two starts, what does it end up looking? Like?
Speaker 1: The only problem is how, like how do you account
Speaker 1: for pictures that that do this? Like is that built
Speaker 1: into that pre draft value of not giving them upside?
Speaker 1: It's it's impossible to predict, Like why was this the
Speaker 1: start where he got obliterated in Is there any special
Speaker 1: way outside of just maybe dropping them down a spot
Speaker 1: or two for these I'm trying to think of the
Speaker 1: other guys that do this. I feel like Logan Gilbert.
Speaker 2: Say, it's what they do in Seattle basically yeah, so no,
Speaker 2: it's a you can you can either drop him like
Speaker 2: a ranking or two or in reality, this is one
Speaker 2: reason why I like Roto. I know you're head to
Speaker 2: head guy, but just you know what you're gonna get
Speaker 2: for the full season stats. These are his full season stats.
Speaker 2: You're it's kind of baked into the projections and whatnot
Speaker 2: of what you're expecting from him. So in the end,
Speaker 2: he's still a low three e er, a guy with
Speaker 2: a phenomenal whip good strikeouts and you're gonna be happy.
Speaker 1: Do you think what do you think the percentage is
Speaker 1: right now of people roado versus head to head? And
Speaker 1: do you think it's changed over like this is say
Speaker 1: the last five years, Like do you think, yeah.
Speaker 2: I think there's been meaning there's probably more Roto coming
Speaker 2: over the last few years. But I still think it's
Speaker 2: heavy head to head people because most people that play
Speaker 2: fantasy baseball game from fantasy football, we know that whole story.
Speaker 2: So I and and most people play on Yahoo, CBS,
Speaker 2: ESPN compared to you know, I live in the NFBC
Speaker 2: world where it's all roto, So I'd still imagine it.
Speaker 2: I'd say it's at least sixty sixty five percent head
Speaker 2: to head, maybe more, but I think it's I gine
Speaker 2: it's a pretty large number still.
Speaker 1: So then do you think over the last five years,
Speaker 1: ten years, it's moved to a little like the percentage
Speaker 1: of it's going higher in favor of Roto, but it's
Speaker 1: still head head.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think it probably Okay, it's probably seventy five
Speaker 2: to eighty percent head to head at one point, and
Speaker 2: it's just slowly shifting. But we probably kind of getting
Speaker 2: close to the you know, not moving much more point.
Speaker 1: I'd be very curious chat if you guys have any
Speaker 1: opinions on this or anybody watching after the fact, you
Speaker 1: can do it on the YouTube. As always, we check
Speaker 1: them out, so interact on the YouTube. I'm curious. I
Speaker 1: was going to disagree with you, but then I realize,
Speaker 1: like points leagues are head to head and points leagues
Speaker 1: are very prominent, have always been kind of the og
Speaker 1: of things. The thing that does happen is I think
Speaker 1: once you've experienced base spend fantasy baseball more, you become
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a cry baby, and then
Speaker 1: you need rodo. I like rotos and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and I've been killed by it, but we know that
Speaker 1: roto is the crybaby format of like, oh I was
Speaker 1: the best all year and I lost in the playoffs
Speaker 1: variance This is crazy, but like you become more jaded
Speaker 1: to it and you gotta play ROTO. I play a
Speaker 1: little bit more ROTO now, but head to head probably
Speaker 1: is I think you actually might be right. I wanted
Speaker 1: to go in and disagree. Now I'm thinking that you
Speaker 1: might be right that it was ten years ago way
Speaker 1: more head to head and it's moved into more roto
Speaker 1: because I also think fantasy baseball that's the growth period.
Speaker 1: It's just like you break into fantasy baseball, you play
Speaker 1: some form of head to head probably points, then you
Speaker 1: play longer and then roto kind of takes you over.
Speaker 2: And that's with more and more projections being used in
Speaker 2: fantasy baseball that caters to a roto audience compared to
Speaker 2: a head to head audience. So I think that's more
Speaker 2: of a thing.
Speaker 1: And this is interesting, Walkee said. My fear is that
Speaker 1: roto is climbing because we're losing casual players who only
Speaker 1: want to play head to head. Yeah. Maybe, And I
Speaker 1: think that is something if you want to if you
Speaker 1: want to look at like the grand scope of all
Speaker 1: of it is, fantasy baseball is very complicated. It can
Speaker 1: be very complicated, and finding the best ways to make
Speaker 1: it easier. DFS really was the potential for that. It
Speaker 1: didn't catch on. Yeah, DFS baseball did not catch on enough.
Speaker 1: It is finding easier formats, and you know, football continue
Speaker 1: even though they they were so simplistic, they're adding in
Speaker 1: little complexities that people are loving more. Now everybody plays
Speaker 1: super super flex. Superflex is to what standard to PPR
Speaker 1: used to be if you know what I mean, everybody
Speaker 1: played standard, then they went to like half PPR PPR superflex.
Speaker 1: Is that popular now? Baseball hasn't found a way to
Speaker 1: like accommodate that, you know, de emphasize. Yeah. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: need to be less complex. And I guess the argument
Speaker 1: would be that's like a head to head to a
Speaker 1: format or something.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of ideas that have been thrown around,
Speaker 2: like monthly leagues or this, that or the other kind
Speaker 2: of change things up. In the end, do what you enjoy?
Speaker 2: Fantasy sports should be fun? Yeah? Would you enjoy it?
Speaker 1: Should always be fun. That's the most important thing. I
Speaker 1: would say that for me, the thing that we did
Speaker 1: being Bogman where we played the first half rot o
Speaker 1: and then we redraft and play a second half head
Speaker 1: to head. I think that's could be a really fun format. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know John mentioning that contest, I think that's
Speaker 1: been a big help. I also, this is the last
Speaker 1: thing I'll say on it. This is totally just like
Speaker 1: mind dump of stuff, but I actually believe that baseball
Speaker 1: betting could be a way, once it's simplified for people
Speaker 1: to have a little bit more for I know not
Speaker 1: everybody likes to bet and stuff like that, but understanding
Speaker 1: like playing ner fees or some props, that would be
Speaker 1: a way for people to kind of get reinvested in.
Speaker 1: But it's a very very good point wonky about you know,
Speaker 1: if Rodo is going up, that might be the death
Speaker 1: of the casual player, which you don't want. Nobody wants that.
Speaker 1: Let's do some three up and three down carry Carpenter
Speaker 1: three for five, two homers and three RBI. We lost
Speaker 1: Carpenter for like the whole season leading up to now.
Speaker 1: I think you tell me, Bubba, could he quietly be
Speaker 1: one of those players that we just see so little
Speaker 1: of in the back half of the year that's going
Speaker 1: to come at absolute dirt cheap next year that you're
Speaker 1: gonna want to target because he was quietly like a
Speaker 1: good player last year, just missed a bunch of time.
Speaker 1: This is what you want to see because he's probably
Speaker 1: gonna have a full time job again next year. Are
Speaker 1: you going to be in on the carry carpe under percent?
Speaker 2: I hope he goes under the radar. Riley Green's coming
Speaker 2: back next week. It's gonna be a crowded outfield. Maybe
Speaker 2: Carpenter doesn't play every day the rest of this year
Speaker 2: because of the previous injuries. I'm all about having him
Speaker 2: sneaker because he got Parker Metals hitting well. Like, it's
Speaker 2: actually crowded in Detroit right now, so I'd be all
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's one of those guys like the Joe won't
Speaker 1: remember because Joe left us.
Speaker 2: Which, by the way, back to your opening segment about
Speaker 2: home runs, I thought it'd be present to win a prize,
Speaker 2: so like he should get booted from this that the
Speaker 2: chat should be able to pick his guy every day,
Speaker 2: not him.
Speaker 1: The problem is is he'll be back, Like I think
Speaker 1: he'll be here for the last episode, so like he'll
Speaker 1: show up.
Speaker 2: We'll then hit thirty five home runs on Friday of
Speaker 2: the last day of the year and figure it out.
Speaker 1: That's exactly all right. Who else we had? This is
Speaker 1: so funny. On my note, I wrote the stat not
Speaker 1: the player, but I know it was Jake Rogers with
Speaker 1: the Tigers, who was three for five with a homer
Speaker 1: and seven RBI. He was the decimator of George Kirby
Speaker 1: and my boy Michael King. There's been a w this year.
Speaker 1: Michael King six innings ten K's It was a little
Speaker 1: bit of a rough start, but Michael King has a
Speaker 1: low three ERA and he could play around. He could
Speaker 1: mess around and get a sub three ERA. This year,
Speaker 1: strikeouts have been there been one of the big beneficiaries
Speaker 1: of the padres. I also think he's one of those
Speaker 1: guys that is not necessarily being value to what he
Speaker 1: truly is. I don't think I think people have that
Speaker 1: taste of early season Michael King and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and he just puts up some big ones, some not
Speaker 1: great ones. Seth Lugo four innings, seven earned runs. Dude,
Speaker 1: the three downs should be called the Colin Ray. I
Speaker 1: guess every year, I feel like we have a guy
Speaker 1: that's just like consistently on it. Colin Ray is always
Speaker 1: on this. Six innings, he gave up seven earned runs.
Speaker 1: And why I kept him on this because I wasn't
Speaker 1: going to give up four homers. I mean, those are
Speaker 1: the type of guys you want to target in the
Speaker 1: home run contest. When Colin Ray is up, look at
Speaker 1: the other team he's playing and who the home run
Speaker 1: hitters are, and target Colin Ray. And then Ryan McMahon
Speaker 1: for four with four strikeouts. I picked him Bubba because
Speaker 1: since he has not if you remember he's gonna get traded,
Speaker 1: gonna get traded, then the Rockies are like, nah, we good,
Speaker 1: We're gonna hold on to him. He's such a superstar,
Speaker 1: he's the best. Since not being traded. The beginning of August,
Speaker 1: he is hitting one oh five and has only two
Speaker 1: games with a hit. To be fair, those are both
Speaker 1: multi hit games. But he has two games this entire
Speaker 1: month where he has a hit and he just put
Speaker 1: up the old golden sombrero.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a rough, rough go for McMahon of open.
Speaker 2: It's just a couple of weeks slump because he was
Speaker 2: having a very very good season, all Star season. Some
Speaker 2: might say, so, yeah, it's not great right now. And
Speaker 2: he did that in your backyard, so it must have
Speaker 2: felt good. You got some air conditioning for free. Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well there are so many articles out here so
Speaker 1: funny Chase Field. It's one hundred goa jillion degrees out
Speaker 1: out here and it's a lot of air conditioning. They
Speaker 1: should do a better job. It's been for what a reason.
Speaker 1: It's kind of human and Jordan Montgomery has absolutely been
Speaker 1: doing the like I don't want to have an I
Speaker 1: don't want to give up make any excuses for my
Speaker 1: poor performance, but it's really humid. Well, he's gonna go today,
Speaker 1: probably get lit up by the Rockies. But like it
Speaker 1: actually has been. And now like the Arizona Central, they're
Speaker 1: like writing article like they're writing articles about it. Like
Speaker 1: it's just wild about all this. So we could use
Speaker 1: some more wind power for sure. Another quick quick follow up.
Speaker 1: The chat's still going about this. This is interesting. Lee
Speaker 1: said he stopped playing non keeper leagues, and that's actually
Speaker 1: something I would really be interested to look at. I
Speaker 1: would bet you the percentage of keeper leagues per sport
Speaker 1: is higher in baseball. There's more physical football because there
Speaker 1: are a jillion more football people playing. But I would
Speaker 1: say the amount of people that are playing, if just
Speaker 1: a pure percentage of players, I would think keeper leagues
Speaker 1: are higher in baseball than they are, dynasty keeper leagues
Speaker 1: than they are in football. Would you kind of go yeah?
Speaker 2: With the prospects surge over the last probably three, four
Speaker 2: or five years, and you noticed, analyst wise, how many
Speaker 2: more guys are covering prospects, dynasty leagues are going through.
Speaker 1: The roof, especially if you differentiate keeper to dynasty because
Speaker 1: I think there are definitely lots of football people will
Speaker 1: play like, yeah, they'll play like two or four keepers.
Speaker 1: But I would say a pure dynasty, I would say
Speaker 1: dynasty is not even close. I would bet there's like
Speaker 1: one percent, zero point five percent of fantasy football players
Speaker 1: play dynasty, which is a primary keep everything. Where I
Speaker 1: would bet baseball there's like five to ten percent or
Speaker 1: something like that. Keepers different because a lot of there's
Speaker 1: a lot of keeper formats in football where you keep
Speaker 1: one or two or something like that. Again, just kind
Speaker 1: of fun conversation. Injuries could tell Marte by the way
Speaker 1: the number one second baseman agree or disagree case above
Speaker 1: in next year, the number one second basement in fantasy.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can go number one yet.
Speaker 2: He's having a heck of a year.
Speaker 1: But God, say, guy, you're going I don't know.
Speaker 2: I really have to look. I don't want to throw
Speaker 2: anybody out there. He's he's definitely in the conversation, is
Speaker 2: what I'll say. Like, Mookie Betts sounds pretty cool to me.
Speaker 2: At second base, he doesn't count.
Speaker 1: He doesn't count. He's right fielder. Now is a short stop.
Speaker 1: MOOKI doesn't count without Mookie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cant Tell's pretty close by. I remember in
Speaker 2: recent years some analysts I know from Arizona talking about
Speaker 2: the inconsistency of his power, the injury concerns he has.
Speaker 2: So are we still like he's all good?
Speaker 1: To that person, He's good, He's amazing, he's the best.
Speaker 1: He's the second in nl MVP odds. Arico. Arico got
Speaker 1: killed a little bit on Monday because he brought that up.
Speaker 1: He said Altuve over katell Chat didn't like it, and
Speaker 1: then he runs He ran a pole. The eighty three
Speaker 1: percent was Katel Marte over O Twove. It was like
Speaker 1: five hundred votes. That was like four hours then. So
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I think that's I think
Speaker 1: that maybe answered it. But the whole point is low
Speaker 1: grade ankle sprain and he's gonna avoid the il, which
Speaker 1: is really great. That was according to Tory Lavello. Other injuries. JD.
Speaker 1: Martinez was removed from Tuesday's game against the A's with
Speaker 1: a left elbow contusion. X rays came back negative for
Speaker 1: any fractures, so he's currently day to dayvid Al Bruhan
Speaker 1: was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies with a
Speaker 1: right ac joint spring. That doesn't sound good. Bobaschett is
Speaker 1: scheduled to resume baseball activities within the next week. Those
Speaker 1: activities could be anything, so hopefully we see him pretty soon.
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander is going to make another rehabit a start
Speaker 1: on Thursday at Double A Corpus Christy. I would assume
Speaker 1: this is the last one and then that would line
Speaker 1: him up for Tuesday of next week, Tuesday Wednesday, something
Speaker 1: like that. So that's my assumption. They could throw him
Speaker 1: out for one more I suppose. Dan Hayes from The
Speaker 1: Athletic reports that the MRI on Byron Buckston's right hip
Speaker 1: didn't reveal any structural damage. Dude, I feel like we
Speaker 1: have like Dodge, We're like Neo and the Matrix. With
Speaker 1: Byron Buckson. This year, we're like whoa injury? Whoa injury?
Speaker 1: Just we have avoided every serious injury, and there's been
Speaker 1: like four of them.
Speaker 2: I think this year it's been pretty rough. In this morning,
Speaker 2: they said he's out again. If he has to miss
Speaker 2: a few more games, they'll go to the IL just
Speaker 2: to let him fully. But they're hoping to have him
Speaker 2: back this weekend. So it's just no major injuries like
Speaker 2: you're saying with Buckston, which has been nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christian Walker's resumed some baseball activities though not that
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks have missed him. All they've done is win games,
Speaker 1: and all they have had is an amazing josh Bell,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a big old w on pick him up,
Speaker 1: no matter what. Me and Joe were kind of going
Speaker 1: back and forth about that. I was like, pick him up,
Speaker 1: and he has been awesome. And then finally Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Speaker 1: through forty pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and is looking
Speaker 1: to pitch to live batters on Friday, and I'm assuming
Speaker 1: that's going to be with the major league team, which
Speaker 1: is lining up for him to come back maybe at
Speaker 1: some point in September, which I know everyone would be
Speaker 1: very very excited about. Get excited because we're now talking
Speaker 1: about some best bets of the day with not Joey
Speaker 1: p It's our other bald friend. It is Casey, Bubba
Speaker 1: and the Welsh. We're gonna give you our best bets
Speaker 1: of the day. Bubba has been pretty hot on here.
Speaker 1: Let's see if Tyler Fitzgerald makes it, because that's a
Speaker 1: Bubba special. Best Bets of the Day, brought to you
Speaker 1: by bet three six five and Betting Pros. All right, Bubba,
Speaker 1: what do we got? We got? We do? Okay, I
Speaker 1: didn't even.
Speaker 2: Learn with some prop bets as usual going for some
Speaker 2: high plus odds. So let's have some fun here. One
Speaker 2: Soto red hot. You wanna go over a half an
Speaker 2: RBI at plus one forty. His run prop was like
Speaker 2: minus two to twenty five his total bases. This is
Speaker 2: the only plus money prop really for one Soto, So
Speaker 2: I'll take my chances there at over a half an
Speaker 2: RBI against a bad pitching in Chicago. Give me Alex
Speaker 2: Bregman over half an RBI at plus two ten regular
Speaker 2: the hottest hitters in baseball, and you have Zach Lytle
Speaker 2: who has not been good, so I think Bragman could
Speaker 2: be fun in the middle of that lineup. And then
Speaker 2: Tyler Fitzgerald over one and a half total bases at
Speaker 2: plus one forty. I'll continue to take plus money on
Speaker 2: some pretty sweet odds for Tyler Fitzgerald, who went deep
Speaker 2: again on Tuesday night. He gets homes for Atlanta on
Speaker 2: Wednesday plus a beat up bullpen, so I'll take my
Speaker 2: chances at Fitzgerald's plus one forty.
Speaker 1: I had actually almost put that on mine. I was
Speaker 1: looking at the total base is on Fitzgerald. I think
Speaker 1: it was fred Dinger was just like, Hey, we need
Speaker 1: some Marico in here. Rico text me. It was funny.
Speaker 1: After Monday, he was like, dude, He's like, what a
Speaker 1: duo we are. He's like three and oh on my
Speaker 1: bets and you hit your home run call and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I was going three on my bets, so I
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care about being right about Corey
Speaker 1: Seger getting the home runs. I care about being right
Speaker 1: on the bets. He was three and oh, you guys
Speaker 1: have both been hot. You're not jaded by the year
Speaker 1: at all, so you're going at it definitely good. I'm
Speaker 1: not a big RBI better guy, but that's why they
Speaker 1: give such great odds. But they give great odds. I
Speaker 1: really like the Tyler Fitzgerald one where I'm going to
Speaker 1: go with it today. I'm going with first a Nurfee.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with Cleveland and Chicago Tyne and Alex Cobb.
Speaker 1: This one is actually pretty good. Odds minus one fifteen.
Speaker 1: Both of these teams hit that like fifteen and below.
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland is like right at like the fourteen
Speaker 1: or fifteen as far as what they score in the
Speaker 1: first inning. Chicago, I believe is down in the twenties.
Speaker 1: But that's like a marker I'm always looking for, is
Speaker 1: you know, decent pitchers with offenses that don't score inside
Speaker 1: the top fifteen of first run innings or first inning runs.
Speaker 1: So Cleveland and Chicago no run first inning minus one fifteen.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into the total based market. This
Speaker 1: one was one of the top total base bets over
Speaker 1: on betting Pro's prop cheat sheet. Give me Alec Bohm's
Speaker 1: going up. I believe against Edward Cabrera one point five
Speaker 1: plus one twenty. Did not have a hit in his
Speaker 1: last game, but I believe he has. It's four of
Speaker 1: his last six games he has this marker. He has
Speaker 1: like four doubles in his last six game. This is
Speaker 1: a really good matchup. Liked Alec Bohm and liked the
Speaker 1: plus one twenty. And finally, I'm got to tell you
Speaker 1: I teetered around this one, but I'm going with it.
Speaker 1: I am taking an under strikeout marker, and I am
Speaker 1: going under four point five strikeouts for Jordan Montgomery. It's
Speaker 1: risky because the Colorado Rockies are the biggest strikeout team
Speaker 1: in baseball, like twenty eight percent overall. They're striking out
Speaker 1: over the last thirty days to a round thirty two
Speaker 1: percent against lefties in general. But Jordan Montgomery is so bad.
Speaker 1: He's just so bad. He has struck out. If I
Speaker 1: have this correctly, I believe he has only struck out
Speaker 1: more than four three times all season, maybe even two,
Speaker 1: and it was against the White Sox, the Reds, and
Speaker 1: maybe the Reds again. It's like two or three times
Speaker 1: all season long. He sits in those markers. He just
Speaker 1: has not been consistent. Also, it's super humid here. I
Speaker 1: don't know he's been inconsistent. I'm going with the under.
Speaker 1: It's risky because of how much Chicago strikes out, but
Speaker 1: it's not risky because Jordan Montgomery is one of the
Speaker 1: worst strikeout guys. And it is plus one twenty five.
Speaker 1: They're really hitting you. You got to make a decision
Speaker 1: minus won sixty eight on the over, so they really
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get to five plus money on the under.
Speaker 1: I'm betting the under because Jordan Montgomery doesn't get the strikeouts,
Speaker 1: and I think, do you dig that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I want to add to that real quick. I
Speaker 2: like that a lot. For two reasons. They said that
Speaker 2: he might go short and have Ryan Nelson come in
Speaker 2: behind him, which could help you. Yes. And second I
Speaker 2: was actually wrote him up for something last night. Over
Speaker 2: Montgomery's last four starts, it's like twenty three and two
Speaker 2: thirds innings and it's like twelve k's and eleven walks.
Speaker 2: He's been atrocious, absolutely horrible. So I think that's a
Speaker 2: very very enticing one.
Speaker 1: You know what's really funny too, it's a who's actually
Speaker 1: gone up to it's plus one thirty five I see
Speaker 1: right now. So I'm taking it that piggyback is really important.
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised. I think they should inverse it. I
Speaker 1: think Ryan Nelson should start out and then they should
Speaker 1: go to Jordan Montgomery because he complains about how hot
Speaker 1: it is. But they're going the inverse. So if the
Speaker 1: short inning goes in, I think that works out well.
Speaker 1: Jordan Montgomery under four and a half. Alec Bohm total
Speaker 1: base is over Cleveland Chicago. Nurphy Bubba has got the
Speaker 1: Wan Soto RBI over Bregman RBI over and Tyler Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: over one and a half total bases. Lots of plus
Speaker 1: money in there for you guys to have fun and
Speaker 1: hopefully you do with our best bets of the day,
Speaker 1: brought to you by bet three sixty five and the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros and the betting Pros and the Welsh and
Speaker 1: everybody else. Babba, home run call. I think you've been
Speaker 1: pretty hot at this as well. I've talked to Joe
Speaker 1: about this, Arico. If you guys were playing all season long,
Speaker 1: you would probably be up on this board because this
Speaker 1: is going to gross everybody out, and I wish you were.
Speaker 2: That's Joe Piece of Peeples Friday. Now here we're gone.
Speaker 1: He's moving up the board. I know he's moved up
Speaker 1: the board. I believe I'm at thirty now. I think
Speaker 1: that's the number. Thirty three is the very bottom. Jim
Speaker 1: Poppin is on there. Joey p is tied first or
Speaker 1: he's at thirteenth with thirty five. Homers Wonky one spot
Speaker 1: ahead of him with thirty six at twelve. South African
Speaker 1: g and b Trot now have the lead el scale
Speaker 1: I think has had it all season long, so this
Speaker 1: is a big change. They must have had Sodo. Hell,
Speaker 1: scale's down at forty one. We've got Larry at forty
Speaker 1: that's the top four. I am officially, as Fred Dinger says,
Speaker 1: I am at thirty. So I am still getting close,
Speaker 1: but I'm just not quite there. Buba, what do you
Speaker 1: got today for your home run?
Speaker 2: I want to keep picking on zach Lda like I
Speaker 2: said with break Been, so I'm gonna go with yord
Speaker 2: On Alvarez. Dude is just heating up in a big,
Speaker 2: big way, and I think I, oh'm a little apology
Speaker 2: for the grey godin comments last time I was on
Speaker 2: the show. So uh, yord On Alvarez and say it
Speaker 2: goes deep in Tampa today.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm going to go with the Rafaeld Devers.
Speaker 1: Give me the Rafael Devers. It's a really good pitching matchup.
Speaker 1: God dang, I had it. I just didn't write it down.
Speaker 2: Who are they going up about Boston? That is a
Speaker 2: great question.
Speaker 1: Uh, well, now Boston is going up against This is
Speaker 1: just going to kill me. I wanted to give the
Speaker 1: stat right, I should have wrote it down, but I'm
Speaker 1: a big dumming Oh Texas and the pitching matchup, which
Speaker 1: I cannot remember it.
Speaker 2: Oh, is it too much yet? It's official, but it
Speaker 2: could be wrong.
Speaker 1: Oh, Dane Dunning. Ding Dunning just head bullpen game. But
Speaker 1: Dane Dunning also has a horrible set up there. Dane
Speaker 1: Dunning has a two point five home run per nine
Speaker 1: give up right now. It's one of the highest of
Speaker 1: any pitcher today. Robbie Ray has it but short stints.
Speaker 1: I really like that potential matchup of guy that's giving
Speaker 1: up around two plus homers per outing to Rafaeldevers in Boston.
Speaker 1: Give me Rafael Devers on my home run call today
Speaker 1: and get me on that mode. Please, please, please please.
