Look 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.200 at all this baldness. I wafted the hair bigger than 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.920 I've done all season. The heads are shining. We've lost 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.760 our lighting because your guys' heads are so shining. It's 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.240 a crazy finale. Joe, You've been gone with us. But 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:30.080 it's good to see you. 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.920 How are you, buddy, It's good to see you, my friends. 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.640 I haven't seen a lot of baseball in the last 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.920 two months, but I see that the Baltimore Orioles a 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.160 what one hundred games. I see that twenty five players 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.560 in Major League Baseball have twenty five or more stolen 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.200 bases this year. I think this was the rebirth of 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.480 major League Baseball this season. And I think it's the 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.240 rules changes. But I also think it's this show. I 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.840 think those are the two things that have really changed 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.520 major League Baseball for the better for the next decade. 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.560 We're going to take it through the next decade. And 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:02.280 it's been a really fun season. 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.800 A lot of good stories, a lot of drama, you know, 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.680 a lot of show Heo Tani, a lot of ronald 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:07.240 A Kunya. 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:08.840 But at the end of the day. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.320 You know, I think what's so fun about it is, 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:12.920 you know you're looking at the standings and teams that 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.760 you thought were gonna be good, like the Mets were 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.840 not the Yankees or five hundred and some of these 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.919 teams like your Arizona Diamondbacks, Welsh h scratching the playoffs. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:22.880 Very exciting stuff. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.320 Yeah, I mean, baseball has been great, and it's been 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.840 great hanging out with everybody here. This show has been awesome, 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.440 and we we appreciate that everybody has because and I 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.519 agree with you, baseball has been Like the Mets particularly, 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.280 they could still ruin baseball if we have to play 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.480 this Monday game because of a game getting rained out 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.280 in the ninth inning. They can ruin a season, which 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:47.960 is fantastic. We've had the uptick in fantasy and overall 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.760 categories and statistics kind of go through the roof. We're 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.040 also seeing the decline of the starting pitcher even more. 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.959 I was looking at this earlier in the month, Babba, 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.960 there were I might have gone over, so you know, 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.040 someone can correct me. But less than a week ago 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.160 there were only three pitchers over two hundred innings pitched 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.480 this year. Two hundred is no longer the marker for SPS. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.600 It's around one seventy five for like a really sure 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.320 which will be interesting to break down in the off 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.960 season because those guys where we're like, well, the guys 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:18.880 can only get like one hundred and thirty innings. Okay, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.840 that's just a little below average, that's not dramatically below average. 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.960 So we've definitely seen we've seen a new version of 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.880 baseball that we now have background for and we will 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.440 take into all of our prep for twenty twenty four. Bubs. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.360 Yep, no, not about it. It changes everything. 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.600 It it's almost quality over quantity these days because quantity 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.880 ain't there anymore. So so it's definitely a new philosophy 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.560 with baseball. And yeah, the twenty twenty four discussion with 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.320 the new rules changes, the storm bases, the maybe bouncy 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:47.480 ball at times, who knows. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.960 All those kind of things are going to make things 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.560 fun to get ready for twenty twenty seven. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.160 Thirty five guys, by the way, ten years ago through 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.840 two hundred or more innings this year four. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.280 And the most innings pitched it in the Bay Area, 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.080 by the way, Just throw that in there. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.640 Yeah, Logan web, the workhorse. There we go. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:05.480 You know, it's fun. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.200 There are a bunch of guys in the one nineties though, 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.280 so maybe I mean, I see Logan, Gilbert Wheeler, Nola Burn, 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:11.640 all these. 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.640 Guys are like done though, So I mean that's my point, 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.240 Like one ninety is still good, but one ninety is 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.240 like the new to twenty, you know what I'm saying, 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.960 And like to twenty is the new two seventy, Like, 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.440 oh my godic guy went to seventy, that's crazy area 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.640 to twenty Like that's that's the changes. And we'll be 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.960 doing that all all off season long. And you know, 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:31.800 the great stuff is going to be when the Fantasy 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.640 Black Book comes out in probably only a couple months, 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.320 when the new season starts back up, we will do 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:37.840 all new. 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.920 We added we added a person to the Black Book 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:41.520 staff this year. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.480 I don't know if I told you, guys, yes, uh 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.520 she you might know her from being the back to 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.680 back Week two and Week three number one rancor. Overall, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.599 it's the wonky penguin is going to be working with 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:54.159 us this year. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:54.960 So now the Black. 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:55.680 Book will be really good. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.400 Gotta be a penguin working for us. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.640 So that's about that. In just a tiny well, Bubba 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:01.599 and I are going to be doing We are going 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.200 to talk about some streamers. Just want to let you 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:04.760 guys know, we're gonna give you like a little bit. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.080 There's few days left. We're gonna talk about few streamers. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.080 We've got some bets, we got some price picks, we 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.120 got some of that fun stuff. But I've also put 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.000 together the Fantasy Awards. There's real awards that are out 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.159 there and fantasy awards Bubba and I have put together 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.920 are fantasy awards. Joe, just really quick on the actual 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.279 awards side. You and I have spent so much time 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.360 for I've been lucky enough to be doing this with 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:31.000 you almost fullish time from this show perspective for like 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.240 two years, and everybody joked around with us how much 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.480 we just last year it was like Otani otanio Tani judge, 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.400 and then this year it was like Otani Otani and 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.200 the injury. But we've always talked about the betting market 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:46.479 and the award market. This is the first year that 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.800 I can recall, not just doing the show with you 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:56.479 in fifteen, that every single award is over. There is 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.840 nobody Yeah, at every single I'm gonna run through the 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.440 Bubba and I both filled this out. I actually didn't 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:04.800 fill out half of it, and he was nice enough 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.160 to fill out the other half left to fill out. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:09.640 Yeah, that goodness. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.560 Bubba's here to do some work, because God, that's why 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.960 I had to leave in August, because well, have you. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.599 Guys seen the bags. I was up till three in 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.360 the morning doing stuff and getting preglayers. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:17.800 Dick. 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.680 I know it's ridiculous, but this is like the first 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.440 year from an award perspective, We're not guessing on anything. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.839 And I'm also going to cash because of my NL 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.599 Rookie of the Year award, So an award I might 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:31.159 have picked. 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:33.040 Well, I'll do you one better. 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.240 I had Corbyn Carroll and Gunner Henderson in a special 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.960 that fan duel was running before the season started, put 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.960 that bad Boy together, And let me tell you, I was. 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.720 I was pretty miserable in June about that. Like I remember, 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.640 we were, like I said, I said, well, I earned 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:48.240 that money on that. 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.760 I thought that was a lock. You know what, patience, 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:51.800 my friends, sometimes you got. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.719 Baseball is a tough wagering world because there's a combination 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.480 you have to have of extraordinary patience, and an extraordinary 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.920 aggress at the same time in certain circumstances. So it's 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.440 it's always as weird, like walking the line of those 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.200 two things in baseball betting, which is why I really 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.280 like baseball betting. I think next year, yeah, that's gonna 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:10.560 be really one thing, you know, on top of the 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.760 fancy stuff. But you know, if it wasn't for show 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.880 hase season, my big money, you know, Welsh, it was 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.960 Julio for me, and Julio ended up with a thirty 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.040 thirty season at the end of the day, putting that 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:20.920 team on his back. 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.200 So I feel like a little you know, rewarded for that. 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:25.440 But I'm gonna lose money on that. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.640 I but you're gonna still take home some money and 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.600 those awards. By the way, al MVP Otani and l 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.880 MVP Akunya slammed Doun. I mean, maybe there's an al 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.640 MVP debate with the Otani injury and stuff, but it's 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:38.760 still not going to happen. 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.280 Because he was so valuable to the Angels who did 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:42.160 so well thissue. 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:43.960 Well, I mean, what a surprise. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.280 You know, I didn't get to be here for I 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.360 was not here for the trade deadline. That's what Bubba 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:49.840 came in. That's when they made the deal for Bubba, 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.040 which was a good deal in retrospect. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.000 But I gotta tell you, Welsh, if only somebody saw 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.040 that disaster, that dumpster fire coming a million miles. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.400 Oh can you? But can you imagine though, if the 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.400 Mets would have for him and then he blew out 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.360 his arm and he had to leave. Yeah, that's the 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.000 most about to happen. That would have been amazing. 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:08.200 It's the whole thing. 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.360 Al Cy Young Cole and l syum Is Snell Rookie 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.120 of the Year. I mean, if there's been one award 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.760 that's been locked up for four months, it's an l 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.960 Rookie of the Year with Corbyn, Carrol of course, thank 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.640 you and Gunner Henderson. But I'm telling you I don't 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.880 recall a time every single one. It's not a debate. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.000 We're done. We don't have to be like I wonder 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.600 who No, you know what you're cashing. I know I'm 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.720 just waiting. I really would like to contact DK. Just 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.199 just give me my money, like, we don't have. 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:36.360 To blave here was going to win this? 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.360 Can I just say that, let's guarantee home. 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:38.679 Man. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.360 I don't like that get the number, and Spencer Striyder 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.280 is nineteen and five and two hundred and seventy four strikeouts. 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.439 Like a EA East Coast. 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.720 One. Yes, because I love the Braves so much, because 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.520 it's a MED fan. There's nothing more than to give 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:55.640 the Braves Mora awards. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.200 That's what I want to do. Well, but I mean 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.760 Strider is the fantasy option. Snell will be the real 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.480 life with the e RA and what he's done this 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.520 year and those awards, they just get kind of locked up. 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:04.800 Get away for the acceptance speech. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.880 Well, oh man, I just I just want to thank yeah, 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.040 ladies and gentlemen. I just want to think me because 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.200 I'm great. I'm gonna go make lots of money. I 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.720 don't need no hitters. Get hydrated. 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.160 Frederick in the chat, don't trigger me. He's a Mets 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.000 fan and a Jets fan, Poor Frederick. Frederick. I mean, 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:23.960 at this point, you got it's okay. 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.560 I want to hug you, just like in Goodwill Hunting, 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.559 like Robin Williams dand to Matt Damon and just tell 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.640 you it's not your fault and it's okay. 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.120 You could just leave these teams. You go somewhere else 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:33.560 It's fine. 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.920 You're allowed as you don't do what Ron Williams did 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.199 in the world. According to Garb, anybody a deep. 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.640 Cut a deep cut reference. But I didn't need looks 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.200 like now I want to see what he did. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.240 But oh yeah, well I go to him. So listen, 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.760 Joe is just popped by. Wanted to say, hid everybody. 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.160 He was here the whole season. Betting Pros has been 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.040 his home. He's taking care of Betting Pros. Make sure 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.199 you guys check it out and support Betting Pros even 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.800 though I know, you know it's a constant battling debate 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.520 and tug and pull between you know, real life baseball 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.000 and fantasy versus gambling and how that's popping up. But 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.120 guess what, Betting Pros has been more successful because of Joe. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.520 Fantasy pro has been more successful because of Joe. And 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.080 next year, hopefully with Joe and myself, we can continue 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.440 to push this podcast to be bigger, can do some 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.280 more Betting pro stuff. And I just wanted to so. 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.160 We just wanted to see your face. You have a lot, 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.960 I told you so somewhere to something we needed something. 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.720 I wanted to see your faces because first of all, 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:29.800 this is our labor of love. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:30.200 This show. 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.280 They told us we couldn't do it, They told us 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.559 it couldn't be done. And you know what, we did it. 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.120 And I say we because it's that royal wee, because 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.120 it's all the people that watched and listened all year. 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.040 And it took us from seven, you know, from nothing 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.360 like the three goes three thousand YouTube subscribers to seven 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.120 and now it doubled again this year. We're fourteen thousand 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.360 on the YouTube channel that listens work incredibly steady all year. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.640 I want to shout out to Bubba for filling in 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.440 for me in August and you know, Dijoe a lot, 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.240 excuse me August in September, because you know, it's just 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:02.200 football is still king. But to prove that people still 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.320 love baseball enough that we should have a show that 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.839 runs all year long, and other places don't do that, 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.520 and some places cut baseball together. And I think this 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.320 was a rebirth of baseball. It is a very exciting game. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.319 The rules changes really brought things back. There's some exciting 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.360 stars in it, of course, Wonky Penguin and Mayor and 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.520 all the people who help us, you know, behind the scenes, 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.400 including Chris who makes all the boards and does all 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.520 the work for us. I want to thank the AI 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.280 machine also for all the terrifying things that it showed 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:27.840 us this year. 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:29.040 And Welsh for you. 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.440 I did not forget you all there. 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:32.720 It is. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.680 Gil horrendous and. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.680 Creasy, scary. Shout out to Mayor too. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.400 There is there, he is, There's Mayor right now. That's 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.960 why he wasn't at work on Thursday. 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.160 I'm going to say this, It's very lucky to get 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.320 to go to work with your friends. I get to 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.319 go to work with my friend the well. She was 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:54.160 also just exquisite at what he does in the baseball world. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.640 So there's nobody better. And I'm very lucky to have 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.960 him here, and again, very lucky to have this audience. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.320 And we appreciate you all. This has been a huge 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.000 victory of a season for us. We're gonna victory LAP 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.400 all off season and then we're gonna come back. I 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.199 know Welsh's got some big plans in the off season 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.160 to bring you baseball. I know next year we're gonna 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:13.480 have a lot of big plans to bring you baseball. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:14.760 And it's just gonna get bigger from here. And it's 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.520 because of all of you. So just thank you to 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.760 all the peanuts and the cracker Jacks because you're the best. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.440 You are absolutely the best, and uh, it's been a 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.120 fun ride. I can't wait for next year. It's gonna 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:24.720 be a good time. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.280 That's right. And hopefully I get to see a bunch 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.320 of you guys coming out to Arizona. Arizona Fall League 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.800 starts up next week. Make sure that you're locked into that, 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.760 and first pitch Arizona month, we'll see not the middle 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.280 beautiful bald head, but i'll see that other beautiful baldhead 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.760 in person doing first pitch with all the rest of 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.320 the industry. So make sure to say hi. All right, 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.000 Joe Pisapia, thank you my friend. I'm actually gonna see 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.280 you in like like an hour, so I'll be seeing 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.679 you back here. Joe's gotta go, Joe. We love you, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.680 I think Joe literally fro oh, there you go, Joe. 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.840 Free the power of stillness. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.920 Remember remember AI said Ai. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.080 And then it froze me out there? 0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:58.280 You go? 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:02.240 All right, I have a great show, everybody. We love you, Joe. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.040 Piece of Pia bids farewell to leading off once again. 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.319 He's gone. Ladies and gentlemen, we bid him Adu, but 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.360 maybe he'll come back at some point in the future. 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.160 It's just us, Bubba. It is Bubba and Welsh. Let's 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:19.040 talk about some Fantasy awards. Bubbs you were I mean, 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.520 I mentioned this, but I didn't like update you until 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:22.880 this morning. I was like, hey, by the way, let's 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.360 fill these out here. I put together some categories for 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.800 the Fantasy Awards this year. It boards, you know, designations, 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.079 whatever you want to do, and you and I filled 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.560 these out. First question before we get into it, did 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.120 I ruin, like, did you have one of those where 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.160 you saw the question, You're like, oh, this is the answer, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:42.880 and then you saw like mine. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.559 And almost all of them, almost all of them. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.360 So that's why towards the and I said screw it, 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:47.720 and I started just writing down the same name. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:48.839 I'm like, I'm not even gonna try. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:49.400 Yeah, why not? 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.480 Why Yeah? I'm like, this isn't worth it anymore. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.960 So to the listeners, Welsh's answer is probably both of 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.080 our answers, but I tried to give you another option 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:58.760 type yeah. 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.440 In the chat if you would like, as I give it, 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.120 throw it out, throw out your version of that, and 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:04.920 I know you all will be very selfish and pick 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.520 the guy that helped you on your own team. But 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.920 that's okay. Each category feel free to throw in and 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.160 if we get them quick, I might try to answer them. 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.840 The first category was best value hitter of the year. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.840 And actually think this might be the most debatable one 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.520 that I put because I put no shocker, Corbyn Carroll. 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.760 Why'd I put Corbyn Carroll for best value? I don't 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.200 care that he did bump up to the fifth round. 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:34.600 He's a top three overall talent. You got in the fifth, sixth, 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.840 seventh round, a player that was one of the single 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.480 best fantasy players in baseball. There's a bunch of great 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:45.920 value guys. Bubba's pick is good, Wonky just put Cody Bellinger. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.920 That's a pretty good pick, But I mean, Corbyn Carroll 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.920 blew them by. Yes, he probably cost double what Cody 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.600 Bellinger was, but at the same time he ended up 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.240 being you know, like I said, two three overall, that's 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.720 an almost thirty to fifty season. It's absurd. So my 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:05.800 choice for best value hitter of the season was Corbyn Carroll. 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.160 What say you, Bubbs, Yeah, I like the Bellinger call, 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:09.880 like the Walker call. I almost went with Walker in 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:10.400 the chat there. 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.600 But Walker, you guys are talking about right, Yeah, yeah, 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:13.520 I was thinking about him too. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.080 I went Christian Yelich, though post one hundred ADP at 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.640 two seventy seven, nineteen homers, twenty seven steals might still 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.120 go twenty twenty. That's with missing a few weeks this 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.480 past month just to kind of rest up for the postseason, 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.600 scored over one hundred runs. He's looking a lot closer 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.960 to the Yelloich of old. So I went Christian Yelich 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.800 a little bit of a value on draft day and 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.760 returned some some very good numbers. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:40.560 All right, the best value picture of the year, Harperson. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.160 But Harper, come on, get out of here, best value 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.920 pitcher of the year. I probably put him in the 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.720 trade video no less than three times this year while 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.360 I was doing that. If you guys remember, it's gotta 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:56.080 be Blake Snell. It's Blake's because guess what, even beyond 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.520 Corbyn Carroll, Blake Snell wasn't a top one hundred pick. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.760 He was outside. I was actually looking at ADPs on 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.040 it was on fan tracks and the ADP's every where 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.840 across the board. He was outside of the top. So 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.640 and I knew people were gonna do this. Someone puts like, hey, 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.200 scooble late season, it doesn't hold weight to you. Got 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.240 to think about the whole magnitude. A post one hundred pick. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.000 I don't care if another guy is post to post 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.080 one hundred pick is going to win the cy Young 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:28.320 with a low two ERA all the strikeouts. It's easily 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.200 Blake Snell in this category. 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.440 He pulled a Robbie Ray, so he did. 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:34.600 Yeah, that's good. That's actually a good comp there. So 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.720 that's my best value pitcher. Let's say you yeah, it 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.040 was Blake Snell. But to give it an honorable mention, I 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.720 mentioned Logan Web. The dude a three two five ERA 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.840 two ninety five x FIP and a two hundred and 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.480 sixteen eight is pitched almost two hundred k's and he 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.600 was drafted like one thirtieth or so, So I think 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.080 there's definite quality return there. You know, Jason brings up 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.080 this is kind of a close to Efflyn does belong 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.480 in the conversation If if we started to like tear out, 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:01.520 I think he would have been there. I think he's 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.240
