Frank Stample, 0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.680 Gregg Suspen here alongside the Closer, Chris Patch it Chris, 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.360 what's up, guys? How you doing? It's your boy? The Closer, 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:11.840 um ring the bell, Ring the bell, Josh Allegheny River 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.319 there you go, four hundred and seventy ft bomb. Yeah, 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.319 it wasn't even a bomb. It was like a rocket, 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.280 you know. It was on a line almost. Frank wants 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:24.400 to go nuts by the way you were in the 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.080 Rockies had But there's David Dala, Daniel Murphy thing bring 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.039 that Rocky's hat over here. He's gonna stop on it. 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:33.160 He's gonna stop. I need a new one anyway. Maybe 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.280 that's the problem. And I know you're saying you have 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.720 four Rockies on that one team too, that's rough. Well yeah, 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.320 and you know, I see a six game week in 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.480 Coors Field, I get excited about it. Yeah, and then 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.920 no one's in the freaking lineup. Yeah, let's play Ian 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.920 Desmond over David Dal Rymo Tapia is a lefty two. 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.920 Why is he playing over David Dal and Dolls? It's 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.480 not like Dolls hitting poorly's hitting over three hundred. Yeah, 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.080 because we need Mark Reynolds in the lineup instead of 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.920 Daniel Murphy. That's what we need. We need more Mark Reynolds. Yeah, 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.560 he shouldn't be in the lineup. I was asking Greg 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.200 a bunch of questions throughout the break, who could I 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.480 trade Daniel Murphy for? Because I'm trading these guys. I 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.400 don't want them. Sean wants to trade I don't want them, 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.239 showing up stair down says in the pit wants to 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.480 trade Murphy as well. In the pit league Accho trade 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.160 and yeah, are you still enjoy it when he doesn't 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.840 play every day? You still believe great? That he's gonna 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:30.320 be Okay, frustrating man. Okay, honestly, this is exactly what 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:35.760 fantasy owner shouldn't do. Learn from my mistake. Yeah, don't 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.519 just freak out because the guy's not in the lineup 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.200 and try and trade him. But I'm gonna make a 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.680 trade today. I asked him, do you think I could 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.639 get Victor Roebolist for David Dald? What do you think 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.280 but David Doald? Yeah, I think you canna send it 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.960 David for Victor Robos. I think it happened, all right, Cool, 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:59.360 make it happen to have a few games that are 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.320 about to start up. Sucks Troy, the Angels are rain 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:08.919 let Boo said about that too. Yeah, I really wish 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.400 that Zack Effler viny Vlaska as we're jaredikough because he 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.520 has been fantastic and a couple of weeks ago when 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.840 we talked about ranking the Phillies, believe I put I 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:22.440 call first one that was I did not I think 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.240 he was, No, not those outside it was. It was 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:30.800 Efflyn and Velasquez, I cough and Vetta. Yeah. I don't 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.000 know that we included Povetta in the ranking. I think 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.160 it was just I Cough, Eflyn and Vlaska's um and 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.200 I think that's how I ranked it. I might have 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.440 had Alaska as ahead of e Flynn, but after this 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:46.000 week's funeral, I mean, yeah, he's Vince Vlaska's dead to 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:50.320 us from a fantasy perspective. But Jaredikough, you guys been awesome. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.640 I look, he's not gonna continue to be this awesome. 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:57.680 But last night, yes, pretty damn good lineup. St. Louis 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.000 Cardinals goes in St. Louis. That's two nights in a row. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.840 Get Aaron Nolans right, and then you get Jaredis. I mean, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.839 I mean he shut out innings for jaredia Cooss. There's 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.960 a chance that the Cardinals maybe they're just going through 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:12.080 a cold spell right now, but man'll take that from Jaredis. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.120 Three hits, three walks, four strikeouts on the day for Jaredikons, 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:21.159 I can't see it lasting long though, what I've seen 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.920 this before with him, why not? I don't trust him. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.360 I just don't trust him. He did have a season 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.960 back in twenty six team where he was good three 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.240 six R right over hundred ninety seven innings and then 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.599 was horribly after pretty good. Yeah, No, I mean he's 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.400 he's been pretty bad in the past couple of years, 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:44.080 but it's not completely insane that he can have fantasy 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.240 value because we've we've seen him do it over an 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.560 entire season, almost two pits. Has he changed, I know 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.080 you like to see guys. Guys change something. Has he 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.680 changed something you would know more than so, Yeah, he 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.120 actually has. He's using a cutter more this year. Um. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.920 He threw it last year about ten percent of the time. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.839 This here, he's throwing it thirty percent of the time. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.280 So that seems to be something that's in the mix 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.719 for him. This year he's using this cutter more. Seems 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.800 to be helping him again in addition by subtraction, just 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:13.320 not using his fastball as much using this this cutter more. Um, 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.480 it mixes in a curveball, so he he uses the 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.279 fourth scene that time a little bit straighter used the 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.000 cutter throw people off, and it also uses a curveball. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.920 The swinging strike rate twelve point one percent pretty good, 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.400 I thantly average. His first pitch strike percentage very good. Uh, 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.840 the chase rate not all that great. And again he 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:31.600 has a one point five zero ear A. His X 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.920 fit is four point zero nine that's because he hasn't 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.560 given up a home run yet and he pitches in 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.280 Citizens Bank Park, so there's gonna be some games where 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.760 he gives up some homer's and he comes back a 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.680 little bit. But even if he pitches too high three 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.359 z r A as a picture that you picked up 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.400 off the waiver wire, that's that's perfectly fine. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.360 I'll take that high three z r A with it. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.560 With a good run support behind you in the Phillies, 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.640 he's gonna win some games to venture. How much would 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:06.479 you recommend spending, see like I wouldn't spend Yeah, something 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.440 like that. Yeah, again, there's gonna there's gonna be some regression. 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.240 He's not gonna pitch to a sub two year race. 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.000 So that's overall. I do like him. He's doing something different. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.799 The swinging strikes are there. He's averaging over a strikeout 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.640 for any right now. The strikeouts weren't necessarily there last night. 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.440 He only had four over eight innings, so you want 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.480 to see that be a little bit better. But I 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.880 guess a good lineup in the Cardinals. You know who 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.560 was not good on the other side, Jack Flaherty five innings, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.719 four hits, four rhy Man. I'm buying low. If someone's 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.320 freaking out, I'm trying to get him on my team. 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.680 The guys have stud Look, it didn't happen yesterday. I 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.599 actually benched him in the league that we talked about 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.440 earlier on UH this week, Greg, I benched him for you, Darvis, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.040 who's going today against the Marlins. We'll see how that 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.039 works out. But right now I feel pretty good about 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.839 the decision because Jack Flaherty did not pitch well UH 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.360 and didn't have the strikeouts last night either. Well that 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.760 was actually day game, but only had two strikeouts in 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.240 five innings. Just the overall didn't have it yesterday trip. 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.520 But if someone's freaking out in your league, I'm trying 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.920 to buy Jack Flaherty right now. Obviously we know you 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.000 know Flaherty has got great stuff, and he's still young. 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:10.920 He's still a guy who's you know, is going to 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:12.880 go through some growing pains. You know, least ye had 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.320 a phenomenal season, and I feel like he kind of 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.800 took the league by surprise this year. They know about him. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.080 He's gonna have to make adjustments, and I think he's 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.920 got the overall stuff control the mentality to do it, 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.600 so I would definitely buy, and you're right, there might 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.160 be people that are freaking out. I mean, the last 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.440 three starts before that weren't so so bad. The k's 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.760 were up at nine k's and ten k's against Milwaukee 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.720 on the twenty two April, so like, he's shown these 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.480 signs of breaking out, but he's still going through some 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.000 bad starts here and there. And this wasn't a terrible started, 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.280 which just wasn't a flaberty start, you know what I mean, 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.880 two k's not like him. If he had six ks 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.960 as opposed to, we'd be looking at it right now, like, oh, 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.320 he had a pretty decent start. If he had six 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.360 innings quality startup, definitely right. I'd be willing to bet 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.240 that he's had one of the toughest schedule will to 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.360 start this Yeah, yeah, with all the starts against it. 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.200 He's had three starts against the Brewers. You have to 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.920 face the Phillies yesterday, which is an out of division game, 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.120 and that's why you see the ear a little bit 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:10.840 inflated at a four three two, but the X fit 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.120 three point five four his home run, the fly ball 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.840 ratio that's not gonna stand. The swinging strikes are still there. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.120 This guy throws throws mid nineties. He's gotta wipe out. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.600 Slider command is better. This year is walks per nine 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.640 last year with three point five. This year's two point eight. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.120 That's pretty good. Exactly the crand is there, what's his 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.040 strand rate? I bet that's uh, it's it's seventy seven 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.920 point one percent, so it's actually pretty much it's an Yeah, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.560 so that's fine. But he's just giving up too many 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.120 home runs right now. That's the biggest issue for him. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.079 And he faced Milwaukee three times already. Exactly, I'm buying man, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:48.760 I'm buying Jack Flaerty Peace. Yeah, I'm I'm buying man. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:53.080 I'm in. You got me all right for sure. Hitting wise, 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.480 Caesar Hernandez in his third whole run of the year, 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.840 while Bryce Harvard did not, going over three with a 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.840 striking out two more times. Bryce's average is at two 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.280 thirty one. The Phillies fans are getting restless, gentlemen. Yeah, yeah, 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.199 they're probably gonna get a little bit more restless tonight 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:14.800 after the after the seventies sixers loose, that series has 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.040 just had so many momentum shifts. Greg I thought I 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.240 felt like Philly was about to take over, and then 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.079 it's flipped on a dime. Toronto is doing their thing. 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.960 But anyway, back to Bryce harper Um still hitting the 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.760 boat really hard this year. He's his bad it is 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.720 actually so this is interesting. Greg his bad, his three 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.040 oh three. He's a career three seventeen bad guy. Yeah, 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.920 his batting averages to thirty one seems bad. So he's 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:44.719 pulling the ball a lot. And then of the time 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.920 he's pulling So I think he's just really really hitting 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.200 right into the shift a ton of the time, and 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:50.640 he I think he's getting killed a lot by that. 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.839 Maybe this is part of the reason why all the 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.559 other teams in baseball didn't want to give this guy 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.400 three hundred million dollars. He is a lefty who at 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.040 times has ruggled a little bit against lefties. He's very 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.120 pole happy in an arrow where teams are doing crazy 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.760 things to try and get out. These extreme pole hitting 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.920 lefties have these crazy shifts. They're playing before outfielders. Now, 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.440 this might be part of the reason his poll rate 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.720 is up this year. His infield fly ball rate is up, 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.960 so it seems like he might be pressing a little bit. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.480 The strikeouts are up. He has the pressure of playing 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.839 in Philly, new place to play, lots of expectations. So 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.800 I'm a little worried, are you, yeah, looking looking at these, 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:36.200 looking at the strikeouts and strike r and the infield flyballs. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.240 He's gonna get better. He's not a two thirty one hitter. 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:39.640 We know that we saw in the second half what 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.000 he's capable of doing. He hit close to three hundred 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.160 or maybe even over three hundred in the second half 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.520 last year. But I do have some concerns over him 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:48.960 right now. He might he might be pressing a little 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:53.000 bit too hard. I'm not too concerned because of I mean, 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.880 the walk rates great. It's always great. It's always great. 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.920 That's the thing you're getting with Harpers. You know that 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:02.800 people are afraid to pitch this guy. The powers insane. Um, 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.080 you know he's gonna get hits. He's gonna get his 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.760 even if he ends up bet into to fifty, right, 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.040 which you don't want. You're looking for more like what 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.040 to seventy maybe at the end of the year. You know, 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.000 if you paid for him. Um, his range of outcomes 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.680 is crazy, crazy because like we've seen him hit three 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.280 thirty first season, and this year he's in two thirty, 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.040 and last year he hit forty nine. So he was 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:25.880 one of the hardest players for me to project Greg 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:30.520 And I liked Bryce Harper a lot because he in 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.120 that late first round range. He was one of those 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.240 players that you say, I could take him in the 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.720 late first round and he can be one of the 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.319 top three players drafted the next season. There's not a 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.040 lot of players you can say that about, but he 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.040 has that upside, puts everything together and hits over three 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:50.080 hundred with stolen basis and forty home runs and all 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.840 these RBIs and runs before. Because he plays in Citizens 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.120 Bank and with that Phillies line up, he has one 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.720 of the biggest upsides. So that's why I liked him 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.960 a lot. But he's going through a funk right now 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.120 venture but well, the I mean the bad shows, I 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.600 think he'll obviously bring that average up. I don't think 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.000 it's gonna linger around two thirty for very long. Um Now, 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.360 obviously in Miley got have in my drift in first round, 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.960 but the case don't hurt me. So he's still averaging 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.200 four Fantasy points a game in my league, which is 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.400 elite even hitting two thirty, so you know he could 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.480 do everything else. It's just the average you're worried about 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.600 right now, in like Rhodo leagues and leagues that don't 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.559 that count strikeouts and the strikeouts. Forty seven strikeouts is 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.240 ridiculous right now. That's a ton. He's gonna cut that 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.440 down a little bit as the season goes on. So 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.959 you expect a little bit of positive aggression here, you 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.160 know what I'm saying, more to the to the mean, 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.000 because two thirties not what he's gonna end up bad. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.440 You know who's pretty damn good. That's right behind him, Greg. 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:44.720 You haven't really talked about Reese Hoskins so far. This 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.120 I meant to do it yesterday. I just didn't need 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:51.480 five batting average dingers thirty two ribbies. He's gonna score runs. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.080 He's got twenty five runs scored because he has a 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.400 six percent walk. Great. Look, that's why I talk about 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.240 pitching to the Phillies lineup. I don't like starting pitchers 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.160 against the Phillies because they're all patient, they're all gonna walk, 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:04.640 They're gonna wait for you to give them a pitch 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.760 of hit. And then when they get a pitch of hit. 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.080 They all have the capability to hit bombs. Even sees 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.280 her and his hit a home run, Yester, So they 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.640 all have good eyes at the plate and and and 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.640 it seems like anyone in this lineup can hit a 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.240 hit a bomb at any point. So he's doing some 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.320 nice things this year. Reese Hoskins. You know, he's always 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:22.920 gonna hit a lot of fly balls. He's been among 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.319 the league leaders in flyball rate the past three years 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.640 since he's joined the league. And his hard hit rate 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.959 is back up. Last year was thirty four and a 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:34.040 half percent the year before that when he was a rookie, 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:35.400 when he came in and took the league by storm. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.000 Venture this year, and you know what, I attribute that 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:43.240 to actually playing first base full time. I think the 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.360 fact that he had to play the outfield was weighing 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.720 on him as a hitter last year because he's he's 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.720 not an outfielder. He was a terrible feeler, so that 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.480 was probably messing with like his confidence. He would be 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.400 thinking about it when he's at the plate. Now he 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.360 just comes on. He shows up every day. He knows 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.439 where he's batting in the lineup, he knows he's playing 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.240 first base. Doesn't have to worry about anything, and you're 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:06.800 seeing the results after Hoskins love it, Yeah, you absolutely 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.679 love it. I mean you can't ask for much more. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.400 I mean, he's the thing he's got in too five, 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.719 which is way more than you expected. Right now, that's 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.400 gonna come down a little bit, Yeah, that'll come down. 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:18.719 He's probably a two right um, But even last year 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.800 to forty six, he's still had a great season with 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.400 all the other numbers. You know what I'm saying, Ribbies 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.440 is serious exactly. And you know at that time you 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.960 weren't paying so much for him in drafts, uh, you 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.440 know before that season and even where you're paying for 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.040 him now, the guy is just that good. It's almost 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.360 like it's such a young guy to say he's like 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.280 a lock as a player, as this type of player 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:41.720 that he is, you know what I mean, Like that 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.040 two seventy thirty five Homer a guy. I feel like 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.600 he's like a lock for that, Like I'm not worry 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.120 about it, you know, and he's still so young. He's 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.280 like twenty six, it's only the third full season. Really, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.960 it's amazing. So I think that keepers leagues. He's a keeper. Everything. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.360 He's He's completely did everything you've asked for him more 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.800 right now to nothing five average, twenty w BP. Know 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.480 the combine made to him last year before the season started, 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:08.040 Anthony Rizzo walks a ton. I think he's Anthony Rizzle 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.080 with more power. Yeah, I think he's a forty home 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:15.160 running Yeah. I think any Rizzle you might trust a 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.760 little bit more. For batting average like two seventy eight, 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.880 I would expect Reees Hoskins more like a two six 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.080 to seventy hitter, So a little bit lower there, but 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:23.280 I think he's gonna give you a little bit more 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.160 power to the plate. Discipline very similar to rizzin walks 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.760 a ton so and now now a little bit more power. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:31.840 Now in a really good line up, he'll walk even more. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.120 You know, by the end of the season, I probably 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.240 have more walks than even he's ever had. He had 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.640 eighty seven last year. We'll probably break that. Before you 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.080 hit the break is one of the game I wanted 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.080 to hit on before we talked to dr A. That 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.120 was a Brewers Nationals game from yesterday. I read a 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.240 article this morning Ken Rose and All Things Dave Martinez 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.520 a big, big trouble um. But the reason I wanted 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.280 to fourtine. It's twenty two that was our pick to 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.120 will win the National League East. Uh, when I wanted 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:58.600 to get into though the defense is horrible injuries that 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:00.960 his fault is that David more Teena's fault. No, but 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.800 supposedly also hasn't done a good job. I guess it's 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.880 not mostly his job. It's not mostly his fault, but 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.520 there are expectations there is. But the reason I bring 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.720 this up isn't Christian Yellow Choice talked about hitting the 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.520 home run yesterday, also stealing base. Isn't Ryan Brown who 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.720 is still his third base. Brandon Woodruff jem six innings, 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.000 four hits, one run, he sug got nine. That makes 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.640 three consecutive starts guys where he's allowed just exactly one 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.560 run and the other two he only went five innings. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.960 I recognized that, but three consecutive starts with just one 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.560 run allowed. I know at the beginning of the season 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:34.840 I was kind of in on him as as people 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.120 like Ronan's were drafted. Should I be knowing Brandon wouldrroff Um. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.520 He stunk for a couple of starts, But there's last 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.800 three stars. I know twice against the Mets once he's 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.520 the Nationals. It's tough to you, nor Frank, Yeah, you 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.720 want to go out there and grab went Brandon wouldroff 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.440 right now if he's available seventy one percent owning CBS 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.600 Lea's he's got a two star week next week, Greg, 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.520 that would be at Philly again, I don't love that, 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.560 but at Atlanta not as daunting. Ray's lineup that has 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.080 been inconsistant thus far this season. But the number is 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.720 really good on Brandon woodroff Man the underlying numbers. He's 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.880 got a four to five year, a three point three 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.320 to x fit over eleven case per nine swinging strike 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.080 erate is ridiculous. This is basically what you were hoping 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.159 that you would get out of Cordon Burns, except Brandon 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.000 woodroff is actually doing it to start next week. Frank 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:19.879 him to you a moment ago where they are, but 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.040 they are next week two starts him and Peacock top 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.760 two pitcher ads today.

And it is just gone 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.439 south over the last four starts and last night against 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.840 the Royals. I mean it was just uh an abysmal start. 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:24.920 I'm holding him in a fifteen team league. In a 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:29.200 twelve teamer I could see getting rid of them weekdays 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.200 to the four BM Easter and on the Fantasy Sports 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:40.280 Network and on your popular podcast providers Frank and I 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.520 already funny.
