1
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: Leading Off starts right now. Friends, I am Chris Welsh.

2
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: That is Andrew Seifer, and welcome in and thank you

3
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: for hanging out with us. Leading Off brought to you

4
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: by bet MGM. It's a brand new week. We are

5
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: almost in September. We are in the final stretch, and

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: Andrew and I are here to help you out. Andrew,

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: how was your weekend? My friend?

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: So good man, I just you know, I was telling

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: you right before show. I took my daughter to a

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: little butterfly garden, got out in some fresh air because

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: you know, with all the sports watching going on, sometimes

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: it's hard.

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: To get out of your your living room there.

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: But you know, especially with football coming too, I know Sunday,

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: you know, Sundays and Saturdays are going to start getting

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: booked for me for a lot of TV watching. So I

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: got to take those nature opportunities when I can, you know.

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Speaking of bet MGM, I found myself even on another

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: realm of wanting to bet this week, and because there

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: was even preseason NFL, and it got my baseball juices

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: going a little bit more. I did think I cursed

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: it though. I had one bet yesterday and I'm sorry

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: I had two baseball bets, and they both surrounded around

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Shoho Tani and the Angels and couldn't have done a

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: better job about that, cursing Otani having one of his

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: worst starts of his career, eighty five pitches through four,

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: couldn't strike anybody out, couldn't command anything, couldn't do anything.

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: Angels had an opportunity. I also had a total team

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: total runs in the first five they had all the

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: base I think the bases were loaded with hern Gifo.

31
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: It was a.

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: Disaster, but we're gonna change it this week. Whether it's

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: football and or baseball betting, We've got the whole gambit

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: of stuff to talk about, so let's get right into it.

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals sweep my Diamondbacks over the weekend to extend a

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: seven game winning streak, and I picked up a couple

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: homers from Goldie. So again, I don't I think I'm

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: at like thirty maybe maybe thirty homers go Cards probably knows.

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know where I'm at. Look at the

40
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: home run board, because we do have a new leader

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: here in just a little bit. It would be a

42
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: miracle for me to get in there. But I think

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: I am crossing the thirty home run mark, which I'm

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: very happy about. The Cardinals sweep the Diamondbacks over the

45
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: weekend and now seven game winning streak be as they rock.

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: In twelve games with the Dodgers, Andrew Joey Gallow has

47
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: slashed two sixty seven, three seventy one, six sixty seven.

48
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: The Yankees, he had a one fifty nine, two eighty two,

49
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: three thirty nine slash line. Joey Gallow was not done.

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: Shout out to Wonky for it. How much does your

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: how much in your belief does Joey Gallow exist like

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: rest of season into next year? Was this really a

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: change of scenery that was needed because we're seeing that

54
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: remember that theoretical time where we look at Joey Gallow's

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: numbers when he was with the Rangers, were like, if

56
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: he could just hit two thirty, he would be this.

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: He is doing that in a platoonish type of role

58
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers.

59
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think Joey Gallow

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: is what joe Gallop has always been. And people, you know,

61
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: it is funny what you said is totally true. With batting,

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: average people always can kind of just dream because you

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: know there is more fluctuation with that stat from year

64
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: to year, So there will be some years where he

65
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: hits for a higher average. There are also be years

66
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: where his average, like this year is like one seventy,

67
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: you know. And I think going to the Dodgers sometimes

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: you get excited, you know, you get a short term boost,

69
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: but I don't really see that as something that's going

70
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: to be changed his outlook longer term, even for the

71
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: rest of the season. Like you said, he's he's a

72
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: platoon player. I mean, he's only he's only playing against righty,

73
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: so you know, it's it's you know, I'd almost rather

74
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: have Albert Pooholes, honestly, you.

75
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: Know, it's fine. I remember back in the day, we

76
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: would you took a look, you take a look at

77
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: like kind of stacking players in fantasy, and we would

78
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: go if you had I'm trying to remember who the

79
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: runner was. Maybe it was all who is the astros guy?

80
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: It's not Willie Tavirus if you remember, like and maybe

81
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm mixing it, but it was like if you took

82
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: a WILLI to various type of guy, and then you

83
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: took Joey Gallo, if you combine them together, you would

84
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: have like a first overall fantasy player. But it's the

85
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: dream on and there's a lot of those guys that

86
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: acusly would be a fun article of like who are

87
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: players we'd dream on? You know, we dream on Joey

88
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: Gallo doing this. We dream on Byron Buckston, you know,

89
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: being out there. We dream on Mike Trout continuously being healthy.

90
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: But this is actually something good for Joey Gallo's career.

91
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: I actually think that this would continue. You know, Dodgers

92
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: only put him in in a place to succeed, even

93
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: if his bats at bats were lower. I would rather

94
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: four hundred at bats versus writings with Joey Gallo than

95
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty doing the whole thing and struggling

96
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: and losing time. This would I wish teams would take

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: some of these players because we're seeing like an uptick

98
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: in these like to ten to fifteen to twenty type

99
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: of hitters more and more. Let's just put them in

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: the best situations to succeed. You know, Brandon Jury kind

101
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: of bucked that a little bit, but why not? Why not? Andrew?

102
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's like it's so format dependent, honestly,

103
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: with a player like Joey Gallo, though I feel like,

104
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: you know, it's if you're in a points league, like

105
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: he's better, you know, because he draws walks and the

106
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: batting average doesn't kill you as much. If you're in

107
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 2: a daily lineups league and you don't mind a little

108
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: maintenance on your team, then yeah, you play him when

109
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: when he's playing, You sit him when he's sitting against

110
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: the lefties, and.

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: You get the best out of him. So you can

112
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: make it work.

113
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: You can also draft, you know, go into the season

114
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: and draft some high batting average guys to like offset gallop.

115
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: So there are ways to make it work. He's a

116
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: high maintenance player in my opinion and for fantasy. So

117
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: if you're the kind of manager that just wants to

118
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: set it and forget it, or you know, if you

119
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: have weekly lineups, you're getting like a top one hundred,

120
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: top one fifty at best overall player for the full

121
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: season when you factor in the warts. But if you

122
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: have some flexibility in your format, can he can be

123
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: valuable for you.

124
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: Do an article called Once upon a Dream, and I'll

125
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: just take these players where it's like, if they could

126
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: just do this one thing, everything could be okay in

127
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: the world. They can only do one Alec Boom two

128
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: homers in the Mets loss. Boom now a three to

129
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: nineteen average in the second half compared to a two

130
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: seventy six. And I just wanted to bring this up

131
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: to you, Andrew, because I was just doing a little

132
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: deep dive on Alec Bohm and across the board it's

133
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: all better in the second half. I show up hard

134
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: hit was around twenty eight percent in the first half.

135
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: It's up to thirty eight percent in the second half.

136
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: I mean, you pick the number. Strikeout percentage has gone

137
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: down or k percentage has gone down by two. The

138
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: entire thing has fixed itself to a degree, of course.

139
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: And over the last thirty days, at least on Yahoo's algorithm,

140
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: he is a top thirty five overall player with four homers,

141
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: twenty one RBI, seventeen runs and that three nineteen batting

142
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 1: average essentially equating to the second half is the last

143
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: thirty days. And do you think the death of Alec

144
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: Bohm in fantasy was premature as he's really found seemed

145
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: to find a stride even though none of it's elite.

146
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: You know, four homers, blah bla blah, it's not going

147
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: to work. But he does have three homers in each

148
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: of the last two months as it's picking up Alec

149
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: Boum sixty percent owned and Yahoo Alec Boem Trust rest

150
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: of this season and into the future.

151
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think he's going to kill you.

152
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: I think he's got a really good hit tool. I

153
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: think he can hit for a pretty high average. To me,

154
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 2: the question is really about the power because he doesn't

155
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: offer steals. So if he's not offering steals and he's

156
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: not offering home runs, he's not going to be that

157
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: interesting in a Rodo categories kind of league. You don't

158
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: want him to be Luis Arayaz, right, So you know,

159
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: it is nice to see the upteck and power. I

160
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: don't know if you looked when you looked at his splits,

161
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: if you happen to look at his launch angle, because

162
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: that's the thing I'm really wanting to see. His launch

163
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: angle's ten point eight percent for the season right now,

164
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: so that's up from last year, but it's still pretty mediocre.

165
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: It's not the kind of launch angle that is going

166
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: to get you twenty five thirty home runs over a season,

167
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: I don't think.

168
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: So.

169
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: He does make hard contact, but he hits a lot

170
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: of line drives, hits a lot of ground balls. So

171
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: you know, I still am not really there in believing

172
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: that the power is come based on this short hot streak,

173
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: So I need to see it more before I believe that.

174
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: But you know, he's only twenty six years old, so

175
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: he's got a long career ahead of him. I could

176
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: certainly see him making the adjustments to become more of

177
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: a power hitter. I just don't know if that's happened yet.

178
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: I think there might be something in Dynasty for a

179
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: buy rest of season. I think you just you're comfortable

180
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: with what you know you have with him, and it's

181
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: probably shorter league where he's available first to second half.

182
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: August has been a little bit of a drudge outlie

183
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: of the side of this last week, and it was

184
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: really July that he boosted. But homer und the fly

185
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: ball ratio eight percent in the first half jumped up

186
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: to almost fourteen percent this half. His ground ball rate

187
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: has also dropped by around three percent this half. His

188
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: slugging is up over one hundred points, So this is

189
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: really about what he's doing in the second half. Is

190
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: there sustainability? Have we found growth in him? And if

191
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: we take these numbers of what he's doing in this

192
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: short stin of the second half, can this be something

193
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: elongated over a season for next year? And I think

194
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: it might be. What it would do for him though,

195
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: is this would probably be something where you know, he's

196
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: like a poor, poor poor man's Alec Bregman, you know,

197
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, where it's like, you're gonna maybe get to

198
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: twenty five homers, you could have a high adding average.

199
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: Bregman's gonna get a more steels than Bom is going

200
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: to be just something to look out for as he

201
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: kind of picks that up. On the prospect side, the

202
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: Royals are calling up Drew Waters from Triple A. He

203
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: was he was acquired like last month in that brave

204
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: competitive balance pick trade that they did where the Braves

205
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: were just picking up the thirty fifth overall pick and

206
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: they got and the Royals got Drew Waters and he

207
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: was see blah blah blah two three ninety nine five

208
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: forty one slash is seven homers and the thirteen stolen

209
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: bases in one hundred and forty three played appearances over

210
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: thirty one games of the Royals so far. Drew Waters

211
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: was a very highly, highly tited prospect. There's a huge,

212
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: huge bat speed in his game, There's a lot of

213
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: swing and miss. He's kind of stalled. There were big

214
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: stolen base numbers. This is the like the theoretical five

215
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: tool type of outfielder whose hit tool really really regressed.

216
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: And now he's gonna come up with the Royals and

217
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to have any interest in speculating on

218
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: a guy like Drew Waters who has some you know,

219
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: power speed potential if he plays through the second half

220
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: of this year and really you know, also just him

221
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: having the potential to play when he's found his groove

222
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: with the Royals is a big move because the Braves

223
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: typically move up their outfielders. He was the outlier that

224
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: did not get it. So any interest in Drew Waters.

225
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: I certainly would be interested in a speculative ad in

226
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: a Rodeo categories league just because of the sole and

227
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: based potential that he brings. You know, I feel like

228
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: he's very much the opposite kind of player as Alex Boem.

229
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: He's very toolsy player.

230
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 2: But you know, you look at the minor league numbers

231
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: and you mentioned he was hitting two ninety five in

232
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: the Royals Triple A system, but he had a twenty

233
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: eight point seven percent strikeout rate, So oh, you know,

234
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: if you have that highest strike out rate in Triple A, like,

235
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: you're probably going to be striking out well north of

236
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: thirty percent in the big leagues, which means you're going

237
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: to be a major batting average liability. So like, it

238
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: wouldn't surprise me to see him kind of go the

239
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: root of like Josh Low, where it just doesn't work out.

240
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 3: But it's fine to take a chance.

241
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: I have no problem with that as long as the

242
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: Royals actually do give him regular playing time. We always assume, oh,

243
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: this is a team that's out of it, like they

244
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: they why wouldn't they play their young guys the last

245
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: five six weeks of the season. But we've seen the

246
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: Royals frustrate us with some of this stuff before. I mean,

247
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: they kept Carlos Santana around way longer than we wish

248
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: they would, and we had to wait on Vinie pas Quentino,

249
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: we had to wait on MJ. Melendez to get regular

250
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: playing time. Edward Oliveris is a guy people have always

251
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: gotten really excited about, and then he doesn't. He never plays,

252
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: you know, so I mean, they still have Kyle I

253
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: isbel there, They've got Michael Taylor. There's some guys who

254
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: could be standing in his way for regular playing time.

255
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: So I want to just kind of see how it

256
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: pans out.

257
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Something to be interesting to watch with him, Like a

258
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: lot of guys, there's kind of a I've seen some

259
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: chatter about this online over the weekend about how teams

260
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: are starting to adjust to Michael Harris and the big

261
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it is like I really want to actually

262
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: talk to the AFL coming in like a month and

263
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: a half. I really want to talk to some prospects

264
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: about this and what changed and when this became the thing.

265
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: But like one of the biggest issues in developmental changes,

266
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: especially if you have really good hitters, is high fastballs.

267
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: And like I got to report kind of really good prospect,

268
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: one of the top prospects, and how the only hole

269
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: in their game currently is high velocity and in the

270
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: upper region of the zone. And that's something that kind

271
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: of like a lot of these guys are always dealing

272
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: with and always struggling through, where like Michael Harris has

273
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: been hitting nothing but fastballs. Guy's grooving in high v low.

274
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: A lot of relievers and stuff and not throwing them

275
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: off speed pitches. And I'd be curious to see if

276
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: that's what Drew Water sees early on, because I actually

277
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: think he could have some early success if he gets

278
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of fastballs. But then what's going to happen

279
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: is when teams start, you know, throwing in any breaking

280
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: pitches and then complimenting that with high zone fastballs. Is

281
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: he a higher upper zone fastball hitter. And I don't

282
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: think he is big strikeout guy. He's kind of a

283
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: chase guy. So just monitor him, just kind of throwing

284
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: it out there and letting everybody know that Drew Waters

285
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: is coming up. On the injury front, Braxton Garrett fifteen

286
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: day IL, Tyler Molly fifteen IL with shoulder inflammation. Actually

287
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: thought we were gonna not get him there, Sir Anthony

288
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: Dominguez on the fifteen day. George Springer was hit on Sunday,

289
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: but otherwise he missed the weekend with right knee soreness.

290
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of just been a continuous thing with him. Unfortunately,

291
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: Eric Costmer miss Sunday's game after leaving Saturday with lower

292
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: back stiffness. Granky was pulled from his start on Sunday

293
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: with right forum cramping. Look at all these injuries, King

294
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: Thompson on the fifteen goes Many grand Doll on the

295
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: ten day with the hyper extended knee, and Kyle Hendricks

296
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: out for the rest of the year. With twenty twenty two,

297
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: we are in that like out for the rest of

298
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: the season thing here with this month ago, you're gonna

299
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: have teams just giving up pushing out. I expect to

300
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: probably see a big uptick in injuries, Andrew, don't.

301
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 3: You like Yeah, I mean, I'm hoping.

302
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: I'm hoping with Tyler Molly that it will be a

303
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: short stay on the IL and clearly they need him.

304
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: They went out and got him, so, you know, and

305
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: he had really turned his season around as well. So

306
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: I'm still like hopeful that we get a month more

307
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: of good Tyler Mole in September to you know, help

308
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: us with that stretch run. And Braxton Garrett is a

309
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: real disappointing one for me because I really he just

310
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: seemed on the verge of a huge breakout to me,

311
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: and then he had this string of just awful matchups.

312
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: I wrote about him in my waiver wire piece at

313
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: Fantasy pros on I wrote it on Friday.

314
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: It came up Saturday morning.

315
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: But you know, he was still a players recommending to

316
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: pick up just because of the potential. But I was like,

317
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: you know, you're not gonna want to start him, probably

318
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: against the Dodgers, And now we have this, so it's

319
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: it's kind of a bummer. Maybe his maybe his full

320
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: breakout gets pushed back to twenty twenty three.

321
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: But I still really like him for the long term.

322
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: So I got a random it's a new segment. It's

323
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: a brand new segment on the show. You know, we

324
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: love to interact. We've got the peanuts and cracker jacks.

325
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: We have one of the best chats. There's rocking through.

326
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: Look at all these guys. If you guys aren't hanging out,

327
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: get in here. You get the whole crew. And hear

328
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: Wonky is rocking with everybody. So man of the people,

329
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: and I like to see what the chatter is. So

330
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: we are going to do a new segment. It's called

331
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: Twitter Chatter. What's going on? I'm pick a totally random

332
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: baseball tweet, has nothing to do with anything, completely random,

333
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: and it close my eyes. Pick okay, here it is.

334
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: This is from John Anderson from Rotoballer, totally random tweet

335
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: ONEO Cruz has been one of the worst hitters in

336
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: the league this year, So that's nine for Pirates fans.

337
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: He's hitting one ninety six with a two forty four

338
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: OBP at three eighty six slugging. He's got a huge

339
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: strikeout problem thirty eight percent, and his sixty one percent

340
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: contact rate is horrific, and he's hitting way too many

341
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: ground balls fifty three percent when he does make contact.

342
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: It's totally random. Tweet Andrew completely innocuous ONEO Cruz Rookie

343
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: of the Year, not so much heading under two hundred.

344
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: You got it? Is Oneokruz trustworthy on your roster rest

345
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: of season in redraft.

346
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't say he's trustworthy, but I would

347
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: point out he's got nine homers and six deals in

348
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: fifty games. So like, that's that's a pretty good pace.

349
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: That's that's a what twenty thirty home run fifteen plus

350
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: steel pace more thirty steel pace, So yeah, I mean

351
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: that'll play, you know, in a category rodor league at least,

352
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: and at points leek it probably doesn't play at all.

353
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: And I agree, I mean with that swing and miss

354
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: in his game, like the batting average is not really

355
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: a fluke. I mean, this guy clearly has some adjustments

356
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: to make to be a long term major League baseball player.

357
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: But it's one of those things where in fantasy you

358
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: can kind of deal with it a little bit.

359
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: You know.

360
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I obviously I disagree

361
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: a little bit when you say, like it totally plays like, yeah,

362
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: the homers in the stolen bases, they play to a degree,

363
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: but you know you're going to sink your batting average

364
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: and you're going to have you might have a week

365
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: of sunken stats. But again, oh no, Cruise, super crazy talent,

366
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: just you know, one of the biggest strikeout rates hitting

367
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: under two hundred and maybe one of the most overrated,

368
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: overrated guys as far as public perception for this year.

369
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's so young, now, I mean, come on,

370
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: he's yeah.

371
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: It's my I have a big if you don't get

372
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: the bit here, I've been critical of him this year

373
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: and how he was anointed. He literally came up and

374
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: the first day he came up, he had Rookie of

375
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: the Year top odds. He was gonna win the award

376
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: this year. I think he's completely overrated. Long term, he's

377
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: a buye. He's his talent is stupid. The home run

378
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: when he gets it figured out. If he gets it

379
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: figured out, it's going to be well.

380
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: It's like it's the same thing you were talking about

381
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: with Joey Gallo. Honestly, it's like people dream like, oh,

382
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: what if he can only hit two fifty then all

383
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 2: of a sudden, all this power and speed, He's going

384
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: to be a stud, you know.

385
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: But in my article, if I was writing that article,

386
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: Joey Gallo would be in there. He would one hundred percent.

387
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 1: I mean, because he's that guy that you know, even

388
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: in bad batting averages, you can probably still project high runs, RBI,

389
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: homer and stolen bases. Maybe not iby and run are

390
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a little dicey, maybe in the median range,

391
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: but you can project if you're gonna get twenty eight

392
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: homers and twelve stolen bases, that's awesome. It just doesn't

393
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: feel great when it's attached to a one batting average Drew.

394
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: But I'd rather dream on a twenty three year old,

395
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: you know, who's just getting his first taste of the

396
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: major leagues than dreaming on Joey Gallo, who we know

397
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 2: what he is one way or.

398
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: Another context of what you're saying in redraft or dynasty.

399
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: Uh well, I mean, honestly, I don't think i'd want

400
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: either of them in my starting lineup in a ten

401
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: or twelve team league in redraft right now.

402
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: This is not a question like O'Neill Cruz is like

403
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: worlds and universes beyond the guy.

404
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: But even if you say redraft for next season, for example,

405
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: like I think there's a better chance that O'Neil Cruz

406
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: takes a big step forward, Joey gal gets lucky and

407
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: hits two sixty, you know.

408
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Totally agree, totally agree with that. Check Out this tweet

409
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: from CBS Sports Home Runs since August tenth, Mike Marrickle

410
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: sent this to me. Albert Poolhole six, the team Phillies,

411
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: the whole team five, the whole team of the Rangers five,

412
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: and the Red Sox three. That's actually more amazing than

413
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: pool I was having more homers than them. Is the

414
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: Red Sogs having three homers on that. I like that

415
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: tweet as pool Holes. We all want Poolholes to get

416
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: to seven hundred. I really do. I wanted to play

417
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: all the games double aheaders. Just get him playing whatever

418
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: position he's got to play like, I just want to

419
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: see it. And if he stops at six ninety nine,

420
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: I think he's.

421
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: Got a better chance than he does did the last

422
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 2: time we talked about it. So he keeps hitting two

423
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: home runs whenever he plays, he could get there even

424
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: with spot starts.

425
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to some stat heroes for the weekend.

426
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: Mark Canna three for five, he had two homers five

427
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: RBIs had that big injured at the I think it

428
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: was on Saturday. Alec Bohm three for five, two homer,

429
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: six RBI. Jake Frayley two for two with a homer,

430
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: three RBI and a stolen basil combo meal. Evan Longoria

431
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: just coming back. Emory is one of my favorite players

432
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: when he was a Ray. When he was coming up,

433
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: I loved Longoria Man three for four, homer, four RBI.

434
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: Kesten Hira from the Dead Zombie Keston here two for four,

435
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: two homers, three RB. I would love for that to

436
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: kick back. Riley Green had a homer and an incredible catch.

437
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: Because I was dialed into that Angels game when I

438
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: wasn't complaining about MLB's blackout rules, he had this diving

439
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: catch in center field to absolutely take away a run

440
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: in my team total first five looking really really good,

441
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: that whole defense. They also robbed one at the wall

442
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: as well. It was just you know, trying to kill me,

443
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: Sayasa Zuki three for three with a bomb, Andrew beinin

444
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: Tendi had a homer, Matt Olsen with a homer in

445
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: Shane Leangaliers three for four with a RBI in a run.

446
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: Anybody took out your fancy in this group, I think

447
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of potential. And the Shanelangaliers kind of

448
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: jumps out to me as he continues to hit with

449
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: this team, and this is really this is one of

450
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: those working out young guys. Why, regardless of what's going on,

451
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: find a way to pick them up. See if it works,

452
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: and guys like von Grissom and Shaleangliers it is working.

453
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: Andrew Yeah. And I mean the fact the fact that

454
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: he's a catcher too. I mean, like this is a

455
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 2: guy who was hitting two eighty three with nineteen homers

456
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: and five steals in ninety two games in Triple A.

457
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: So uh, you know it's more than just this hot

458
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: star right now. I mean he is striking out an

459
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 2: awful lot so far, but it's only twenty plays appearances,

460
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: so we shouldn't overreact to that. I mean, I did

461
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: the bar Is solo with Catcher, like I feel like

462
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 2: he's the kind of guy that like instantly it is interesting,

463
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: like it doesn't take much at all to become like

464
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: a worthy player of picking up.

465
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 3: In a ten or twelve team league at Catcher.

466
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting about that too, is I think

467
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: there's the potential you can make arguments that there might

468
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: be a three she canna say there's more than that,

469
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: maybe four. Probably on four, let's go with four four

470
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: catchers that could be inside the top twelve for next

471
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: year that have less than a year of experience in there.

472
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: And we're talking Adlee, you're talking MJ. Melendez, who I

473
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: think could be in that conversation. Shane Lingleiers is probably

474
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: a little bit dicey, But you know what, if he

475
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: finishes out this whole way through, it's going to be

476
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: hard to take that bat off. And maybe Francisco Aalverretz

477
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 1: going into next year, if he gets a little bit

478
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee and you look at that, and

479
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: you know Adley was Adley was being drafted. I was

480
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: very critical of this, but it all works out in

481
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: the end where Adley was being drafted as like the

482
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: fifth catcher in a lot of leads this year, yet

483
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: he didn't come up for the first half of the season.

484
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: So that's kind of stupid unless you are comfortable with

485
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: it being able to just kind of like roster him

486
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: at the bottom. But then it's worked out. Adley's going

487
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: to be drafted as a number one catcher next year,

488
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: and there's actually a little doubt in my mind that

489
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. Maybe Ramutto gets in there. I

490
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I think Ali would be the number one.

491
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: But you now, look is you could have four of

492
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: the young young catchers make up the top twelve of

493
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: overall catchers drafted next year. Who do you think would

494
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: be out of that list? It's obviously going to probably well,

495
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: it's not going to be Adle, so it's going to

496
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: be one of the others. Who do you think is

497
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: on the fringe of that top twelve?

498
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: Uh, remind me who the other three you said were?

499
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: Alvarez who hasn't come up yet. You know, shee Lengeliers,

500
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: who's rocking in a bad lineup, who should hit in

501
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: the middle in perpetuity, and then you have him j Melendez.

502
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: I think it has to be Alvarez just because we

503
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 2: haven't we haven't seen it yet and we don't know

504
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: exactly when he's going to get the opportunity. I mean,

505
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: I've been on Melendez all along. I just like what

506
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 2: this guy did in the minor. I mean he he

507
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: had forty home runs in the miners last season, you know,

508
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: and it was amazing because they had sal Perez do

509
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 2: it in the majors and Melendez doing the miners, so

510
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 2: it was really nice to see.

511
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 3: That was one situation where you had to wait a

512
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 3: little while.

513
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: But then they really have stuck with Melendez through the

514
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: ups and downs, which are to be expected. So I

515
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 2: like him a lot. You know, there's other young catchers too.

516
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: I think Kibar Ruiz has had kind of a tough year,

517
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: but I still think he could be a top twelve

518
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: catcher next season. Alejandro Kirk, of course, has been a

519
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: revelation this season. So yeah, so it's a good time

520
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 2: for young catchers.

521
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 3: Really. Yeah.

522
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: I think Kirk could be anywhere from three to four

523
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: overall and catcher at the catcher spot. The questionable thing

524
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: to me is after Adley, it's this little clump of

525
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: like is it going to be Ramuto, Is it going

526
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: to be a sal Is it going to be Wilson,

527
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: Catreras or Dalton Varshow? You know, like that type of

528
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: grouping of guys somewhere in there that's not a bad spot.

529
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, if you don't get

530
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: those guys, then you can take the Melendez is the room,

531
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, the ruiz is you can just kind of

532
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: take some of those shots in the dark on And

533
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: I mean Cole Rally can't hit for average, but he

534
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: leads catchers and homers this year. So this is why

535
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: I don't spin too too heavy. It's a pretty good group.

536
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: I mean, real Muto, I've got him. I mean, and

537
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: if you play in any type of a categories league

538
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: like he has really just been a huge boost with

539
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: the stolen basis. I mean, this season kind of got

540
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: off to a rough start, but yeah, I mean now

541
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: he's just he's really cooking. And then of course Will

542
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 2: Smith is also always well.

543
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah in that group too. That you know, fun debate

544
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: would be Adley or Rumuto for next year. On what

545
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: side people are going to go with. So maybe that's

546
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: something we'll bring up later.

547
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: Ady gets to make his audition for the next Yeah.

548
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, and he's been doing it. I

549
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: think one of the god if I remember, he might

550
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: be the highest. I could be completely wrong about this.

551
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: I want to say it was like the highest war

552
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: of all catchers already in his short I mean, now

553
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: I have to look. So this is ruining my So

554
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: let's take a look here, let's take off qualified and

555
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: let's see war for catchers just because I said it,

556
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,239
Speaker 1: and we can't not do it. No, but he is

557
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: the okay, so this is a wild one. He is

558
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: the fifth highest in war for catchers. He's within one

559
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: full point of the top guy, which is Ramuto. But

560
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: he's done it in only seventy three games. The next

561
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: lowest is Jose Travino in eighty eight. The other three

562
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: Will Smith, Sean Murphy, and Ramuto all over one hundred games.

563
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: Adley has a three and a half war in seventy

564
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: three games. That's a wild number, folks. That's a wild

565
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: number for a rookie and a catcher let alone.

566
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: I'll still take Rio, Muto and Redraft next year.

567
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he would probably take it. But if

568
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: there's a discount, if there's a big gap, that would

569
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: change my mind. I will never ever, You'll never see

570
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: me pay up for catchers. So if you know, unless

571
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: you're in a two catcher league, of course, but if

572
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: you're in like a single catcher league and you're paying

573
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: fifth round, that'll never be me. I'll just take the

574
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: back end of what's still out there, and if there's

575
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: a big gap between Adley and him, that's where I

576
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: would pick some big perform from this weekend. Justin Steele

577
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: has been just such a good second half, just maybe

578
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: most of the season. Guy six struck out nine, gave

579
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: up only two hits or six with three strikeout. Sean

580
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: and Iya went seven, striking out four, giving up five hits,

581
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: no walks. Nester Cortez struck out five and six, and

582
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: Alec Manoa six, striking out eight, hitting one judge and

583
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: starting one fight with Garrett Cole telling him to do

584
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: you see He's like, cross that what a weird like

585
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: come get me bro line where he's like if he

586
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: wants to come and walk past the AUDI sign, like

587
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: what did you see? Did you see that?

588
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 3: I didn't know.

589
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: He hit Aaron Judge and they were kind of cool.

590
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole just kind of jumped up and freaked out.

591
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: And then in a post conference thing, Alec Manoa is like, well,

592
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: if he wants to do something, he can cross that

593
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: Audie sign. And what he was talking about was like

594
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: the painted Audi logo on the field, and it was

595
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: just like.

596
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 3: Do you think Audi is happy about this? Reference?

597
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: That had to be worth at least like half a

598
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: million dollars in.

599
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: Their new ad campaign across the Audio sign.

600
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: Right now, if baseball was like hockey and they had

601
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: like a you know, like a fight and then a

602
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: two minutes in the booth that could be sponsored by

603
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: Audi and everyone would love it one hundred percent. Since

604
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: stat zero, Kyle Stowers who got called up over four

605
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: to four strikeouts, some Ophers with three strikeouts, Aristide is

606
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: a Kenyo, Jeremy Peigne, Johannio Suarez, Brett Batio for five

607
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: and Michael Harris so for fours. We got to watch

608
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: the Michael Harris stuff. This is a huge key to

609
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 1: the next year value on Michael Harris is how he

610
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: adjusts now that the league is adjusting to him. You're

611
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot more breaking pitches which he hits

612
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: at a much lower rate, and let's see where the

613
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: struggle or where the return comes from. I think that

614
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: will tell you how elite we walk into next season

615
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: with him on the picture side. Struggles Sandi al Contra

616
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: a rare wear struggle six earned runs, ten hits, five

617
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: K's Jose Quintana only went two and two thirds give

618
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: up two earned runs with seven hits. Mike Minor gave

619
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: up five. Kyle Gibson didn't go five and show Heyotani,

620
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, gave up three and runs in four.

621
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: But one of his eighty five pitches in four innings

622
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: is one of the lower outputs across the board. The

623
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: Sandy one, do you think? I think you and I

624
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: have talked about this just real quick. We've talked about

625
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: the the cy Young stuff, and I want to say

626
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: that you were in on some of the others beside Sandy.

627
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: This is one of those things that I think lowers

628
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: the market a little bit for Sandy and closes the gap.

629
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: I think it was Burns that was number two. And

630
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: I know there's some people that hit me up about,

631
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: like Edwin Diaz maybe being in that mix.

632
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was saying Sures are as a

633
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: long shot, but yeah, yeah, I mean that's the thing

634
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 2: with al Contra. It's just the margin for air, the

635
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 2: fact that he's not on a winning team and isn't

636
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: piling up a huge win total. You know, it doesn't

637
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: isn't a huge strikeout guy. There's just certain things that

638
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: make it. He doesn't have that huge margin for air.

639
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: So a couple more starts like this, I agree, I

640
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: think that that would really open the door. But I

641
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: just I never saw him as like a runaway for it.

642
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: Anyway.

643
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go and check out the home run leaderboard,

644
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: which we don't have a graphic. I need to get

645
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: on them to get us a new graphic because we

646
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: have a brand new leader on the board. High Covey

647
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: is back in the lead. High Covey twenty sixteen with

648
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: forty six homers doesn't look like anybody hit a Sunday homer.

649
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: In the top of the leaderboard. Blum is at forty five,

650
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: Go Cards forty three. That is your top three, with

651
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: Terry m Mike Mayer coming up on the forty. Still

652
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: only six people on the forty home run marker, so

653
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: we will be on the lookout for that. Friends, try

654
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: to find it. Where did it go? When you're making

655
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: your bets? There is only one for kings and Queen's.

656
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: Yes here it is the official crown for bet MGM. Yes,

657
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Joe used to have a nice crown. I have

658
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: a tiara because I have my daughter here. And this

659

Speaker 1: was ordered. The mystery was solved, by the way, and

660

Speaker 1: I might let everybody know who it was on Wednesday,

665
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: do it today. I've got four bets for you. The

666
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: ones are the top algorithm strikeouts. Let's take this off

667
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: strikeouts and total bases, and then the plus money strikeouts

668
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: in total bases. So the number one total base prop

669
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: for the day is not crazy juiced up over in

670
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: sugar House. It's Mookie bets at one and a half

671
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: total basis, it's minus one thirteen. That's actually not bad

672
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: versus Milwaukee. The number one on the plus money total

673
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: basis is Wilson Conraris, you're getting plus one twenty five

674
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: with one and a half total bases against Saint Louis,

675
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: So both of those they are actually not badly juiced.

676
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: The number one strikeout prop of the day is Julio Urius,

677
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: who's projected at almost six, and it's an underplay because

678
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: the number is at seven and a half versus Milwaukee.

679
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: It is minus one sixty and your plus this I

680
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: took an even money play. Jeffrey Springs even money on

681
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: five and a half strikeouts. Fantasy proses projecting our betting

682
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: pros is projecting six and a half versus the Angels,

683
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: so andrew any of those bets. Urius Springs strikeouts, Contraras

684
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: bets total bases. Which one do you like if you're

685
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: taking one or multiple?

686
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: I mean that Mookie bets one looks pretty good to me.

687
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: I mean that's a real low number and it's almost

688
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 2: even money. So yeah, I mean I think he should.

689
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: I mean you never know him any one day, but

690
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: he should crush that.

691
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of I don't play under though I don't,

692
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: but I kind of like that Julio Arias under seven

693
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: and a half to you know, I mean, Milwaukee would

694
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: be a place you would get eight strikeouts, but I

695
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: don't particularly like the strikeout pop from Arias. But the

696
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: mookie bets one I am on as well. Just quickly

697
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: on the DFS some pricing over on FanDuel, you can

698
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: get Copek at eight seven, which I kind of dig.

699
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: This week, Jeffrey Springs is eight sunny grade nine and

700
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: a half and Sure's are eleven and a half. You're

701
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: looking for some lineup builders. You've got four teams with

702
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: five or more projected earned runs. You've got the Philly, Atlanta, Minnesota,

703
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers. If you want to pick and choose

704
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: from those, maybe top of the lineup players if you're

705
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: putting those all together. And lastly, home run call, Andrew,

706
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: I throw it to you. We're gonna start the week

707
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: off hot. Who do you got well.

708
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised Go Cards is doing well on the

709
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: home run count because the Cards are on fire, and

710
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not going to stray from that. I'm gonna

711
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: go with Paul gold Schmidt. I mean, he's got a

712
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: couple home runs this in the last few days. He's

713
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: hitting for the season four thirty five with nine homers

714
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: in ninety two at bats against left handed pitching. He's

715
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: facing Drew Smiley. Feel good story that Drew Smiley's been

716
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: doing decently lately, but I think it's going to come

717
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 2: crashing down for him against that on fire in Fuego

718
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: Cardinals team.

719
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 3: So I look for Goldie to go yard.

720
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: We have got Mayor picking Reeese Hoskins, who I almost pick.

721
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Wonkey has got Jake Frayley, and I'm going to do

722
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: something I haven't done in a long time. I'm gonna

723
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: go with the Buckston Monday. Yes, we're going to go

724
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: Byron Buckston for the day. Hasn't been doing much of anything,

725
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: does hit two forty five against leftizo. Got Cole Reagan's

726
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: in the house, So I am going to be jumping

727
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: on with Byron Bucks. I'm kind of excited if we

728
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: can get a homer and we can rev start some

729
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: Bucks and action. Doctor Glenn, you got my line for

730
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: the day, Glenn says, I went seven to two thirds,

731
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: gave up one earned seven strikeouts currently as my start

732
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: for today in the host seat, and I'm carrying a

733
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: two five seven ERA on this season. Thank you very much,

734
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: doctor Glenn. I'm gonna have to have a bad blow

735
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: up here to jump up that era and shout out

736
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,640
