We 12 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: could probably fill a half an hour pretty easily going 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: over what he did yesterday. 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about him. 15 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: We're going to talk about some other things as well, 16 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: but before we do get going, put your questions in 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 2: the chat. We'll probably get to a couple if you 18 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: got any waiver wire streaming even twenty twenty five questions. 19 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: We should have a little bit of time later on 20 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: in the show, but we are going to start where 21 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: we have to start today, Bubba with one of the 22 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: greatest games. It's not even hyperbolic to say it's one 23 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: of the greatest games. In baseball history that show Hey 24 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: Otani put on yesterday, and also considering when it came 25 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: in the season it won, anybody who had him in 26 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: a head to head league probably won their championship. He 27 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: went six for six, three homers, four runs, ten Ribby's, 28 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: and two stolen bases to clinch his fifty to fifty season, 29 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: putting him into the history books. One uped himself and 30 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: got to fifty one fifty one yesterday. I don't even 31 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 2: really have words to describe this anymore. This is just ridiculous, Buba. 32 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 3: It is the only words that come to that mine 33 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: are unicorn special, best ever like stuff like that. It's 34 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: it's ridiculous watching him and just watching the you know, 35 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 3: the highlights because I wasn't watching it live, and seeing 36 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: the way he hits the moonshot, the moonshot for number 37 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 3: forty nine, I believe, to right field. Then he hits 38 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 3: the Appo Taco for fifty and then he just happens 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: to hit another one for fifty one. It was just 40 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: ridiculous what took place with show Hey definitely the best 41 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: we've ever seen in our ages, and we'll see where 42 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 3: it goes from there. 43 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. You see him. 44 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: I mean, I think most of us probably have Jeff 45 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: Passon notifications on, or we at least see his tweets 46 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: very regularly, and it's like, Okay, you got forty nine 47 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: twenty minutes later, fifty twenty minutes. 48 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: Later, fifty. 49 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: It's like I thought Twitter was broken for a second, 50 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 2: as like, is this spamming me notifications or something like that, 51 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: But no, this is unbelievable. I know that Otani is 52 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: going to be talked about if you listen to any 53 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: shows today, he is going to be the lead point. 54 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: But he should be like, this is just one of 55 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: the best seasons I think we've ever seen in history. 56 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: And I saw a couple of people talking Bubba. 57 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: Each of the last three seasons, we've seen a really 58 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 2: historic accomplishment. Judge hitting sixty two, Akunyas forty seventy, and 59 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 2: now the fifty to fifty in your eyes as Otani's 60 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty the most impressive of the three. 61 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: I'd say probably yeah, just because I'm a Bonds guy, 62 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: I remember seeing what he did. I remember Conseko doing 63 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: his thing, and a Rod doing his and all these 64 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: other guys fifty to fifty is ridiculous because he usually 65 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: don't see power speed like this. Not to mention he's 66 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 3: having Tommy John surgery while doing this, Just to put 67 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: the icing on the cake through all of this, I 68 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: think fifty to fifty is. You know, there's always gonna 69 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: be great records, there's always gonna be our you know, 70 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 3: arguments that are valid for multiple things. But what Showyotani's 71 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 3: doing right now, as some of that's played baseball, it's 72 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: it's it's not earthly, let's put it that way. 73 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: It's absolutely ridiculous. 74 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 2: I think people were saying that the season long stolen 75 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: base prop was set at like seventeen and a half 76 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 2: or eighteen and a half. He's still twenty last year. 77 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody was expecting this now. And I 78 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: heard some people say, well, maybe he's going to be 79 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: a closer next year and have fifty saves and fifty 80 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: home runs and just keep rewriting the record book. 81 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: I think that's very possible if they let him do it. 82 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: I guess the smart move. Honestly, he needs to be 83 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: the closer. That's what I've been saying for a couple 84 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: of years now. 85 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: Well, i'd kind of worry. And you know, we have 86 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: a question in the chat about where we're drafting. Show 87 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: heys a pitcher only next year because there are some 88 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: formats where he's going to be separate on Yahoo and 89 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: a couple of others. I don't know about just as 90 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: a pitcher only. I feel like if he does have 91 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 2: some kind of injury, that would be the first thing 92 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: that stops and they try and keep him on the field. 93 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: If you're just looking at pitcher only, sho heeyo Tani Bubba. 94 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: Is that a top fifty player? Is that a top 95 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: one hundred player? Where would you personally want to take him? 96 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, pittuer only he's still an SP one. He's still 97 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 3: a stud. He's a top probably three or four round 98 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: pitcher because if he returns to the SP one of 99 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 3: old that he is a cy young caliber arm. There's 100 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 3: no denying that. I'm not going to draft him as 101 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: a pitcher, and I want that bat all day, every day. 102 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 3: But if you are draft him as a pitcher. As 103 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 3: a question asked a he's a top ten starting pitcher, 104 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 3: I'll say that, and maybe when I break it down 105 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: more it'll change, but I'd say he's probably a top 106 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 3: ten starting pitcher because he's already thrown. Now you got 107 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 3: to assume he's ready by opening days, so it should 108 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: be good to go. 109 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 2: Well, they're talking about him pitching him in the playoffs potentially, 110 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: even though it might not be likely, but that shows 111 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,679 Speaker 2: that he's at least within a stone's throw of being ready, 112 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 2: and you've got six more months that should be full 113 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: ready to go by spring training. He's just I mean, 114 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: I could talk all day about him. He's really justridiculous. 115 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: You can keep him for a twenty second round pick 116 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: as just a pictures I think you're. 117 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 4: Doing that all day, Yes, yes, yes, do that. 118 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Michael Harris. 119 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about a couple members of the Braves 120 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: who went kind of crazy yesterday. Well let's start with 121 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: Mike Harris, because he just had a crazy series two 122 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: home runs yesterday, four runs, four Ribbies. But for the 123 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: series as a whole, four home runs, six RBIs, he 124 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: had six hits. He's kind of turned his season around 125 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: a little bit. I know that he's missed some time 126 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: with injuries, but Michael Harris generally speaking, was a disappointment 127 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 2: this year. If you look back over the last couple 128 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 2: of weeks, though sixteen for his last fifty nine doesn't 129 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: sound crazy. Hitting two seventy but six homers, thirteen ribbies. 130 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: He's been pretty solid. Now, when you did that early draft, 131 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: I think he was still like a third round pick 132 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: Bubba and a second beginning a third. Do you think 133 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 2: Michael Harris still warrants a top forty to fifty overall 134 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: price at this point? 135 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 4: It's tough. 136 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: Like we've talked before, the Churios, the Merrills, the Lankford's, 137 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 3: all those guys. I think he's more of the Langford category. 138 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: I think he got the Merrils and Centurials above him. Harris 139 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: is very good. Harris is more what we want Randy 140 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: Rose rain it to be better batting average, but still 141 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 3: a twenty twenty type guy. Maybe he's got thirty thirty, 142 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: Maybe he pulls the centric Mullens out of him. So 143 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 3: third or fourth round I think is very fair for Harris. 144 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 3: I've just tempered my expectations after this past year. Everyone 145 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: annointed him the best batting average ass said he's going 146 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 3: to go twenty five to twenty five, all these things, 147 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: and you know he still could not gonna say he can't. 148 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 3: But when Acuna comes back, Albi's comes back, does Harris 149 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: go back to the bottom of the order again, Those 150 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 3: are issues for fantasy. So I think he's still very good. 151 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 3: I think he is valid of a third and fourth 152 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: round pick. I'll just be looking for the dip if 153 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: I can find it. 154 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he to the last couple of years, 155 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: we've all kind of thought that he could take that 156 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: next step forward. I mean, he burst onto the scene 157 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 2: as a rookie, went twenty twenty and just like four 158 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 2: hundred at bats. He looked like he was going to 159 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: be the next kind of not necessarily a Kunya, but 160 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: to your point, like a thirty thirty type of guy. 161 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: He has dealt with some injuries, but he has also 162 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: fallen short of expectations over the last couple of seasons. 163 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: So I think that we should get a discount. I 164 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: hope that we are able to get him, you know, 165 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 2: past pick fifty or so, because if he's going in 166 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: the fourth round, healthy braves team around him, he could 167 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: be fantastic. He really could be a great pick there. 168 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: But I don't want to be paying the premiums after 169 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: a couple of less than stellar seasons for him. Sticking 170 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 2: in Atlanta with his teammate Matt Olsen. You know, he 171 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: took the home run call for Olsen on Wednesday. He 172 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: had a home run on Tuesday and Thursday, as the 173 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: way it goes, but two home runs yesterday. Over the 174 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: last month, he and I talk about Harris turning a 175 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: season around. Olson really has turned a season around, hitting 176 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: three h eight over the last thirty days with twenty runs, 177 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: thirty one ribbies and seven home runs. You know, we 178 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: were talking about Pete Alonso on the on the show 179 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: the other day, Bubba. Between the two of them, as 180 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: of right now, would you rather take Olson or would 181 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: you rather take Alonzo? 182 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: Heading into twenty two five, I'd still take Olson. Olson 183 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: still the guy for me. I like the team context better, 184 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 3: and that's not saying much. The Mets are pretty good. 185 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: Like the Mets are playing well, but I'll take Atlanta 186 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: the ballpark. The team still much better. Get a kill 187 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: in your back next year, you get Riley back. I'll 188 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: think my chances with Matt Wilson. I think both of 189 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: them are probably getting drafted a little higher than I'd like, 190 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: at least in the first draft. 191 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 4: Obviously. 192 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: I know I'm saying that with one draft in the books, 193 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: But I take Alson over Pete Alonso, big meat Pete, I. 194 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: Think I would too. 195 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: Like I think in terms of the overall profile, it's 196 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: fairly similar. You're gonna get a lot of production in 197 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: three categories, not a lot of stolen bases. The batting 198 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: average could go up to two seventy for either one, 199 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: but probably closer to two forty two to fifty. But 200 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: I think I will be on your side there in 201 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: default towards the better lineup that Olson's going to have 202 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: around him, for sure. Let's move on and talk about 203 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: Brandon Fott, who has been pretty inconsistent as a whole 204 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: this season. You know, I've done the game of putting 205 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: him in my lineup for the bad start, sitting him 206 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: for the good one. 207 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: We've kind of done that a little bit. 208 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: He had a gem against the Brewers yesterday, and I 209 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: think that as a side note, the Brewer is now 210 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: that they've clinched as a team that you can kind 211 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: of target here in certain ways. But Brandon fought seven 212 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 2: innings of two hit, one run ball. He did not 213 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: walk a batter and struck out twelve. When you look 214 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: below the surface at Brandon Fodd's numbers. They're quite a 215 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: bit better than what you're seeing just in terms of 216 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: the ERA, which is still at four six six. All 217 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 2: the ERA estimators are into the threes. You know, He's 218 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: obviously got that really solid command. Just a five percent 219 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: walk rate. Feels like somebody who could take another step forward. 220 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: You know, the Arizona Fall League a couple of years ago, 221 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: he was kind of the hot topic. He led the 222 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 2: minor leagues and strikeouts the year before. Development's been a 223 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: little bit slower than we thought, but I feel like 224 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 2: they're still an ACE level pitcher somewhere in Brandon five. 225 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 4: I agree. 226 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 3: I was all in on him this year. It was 227 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: really good for a while. I haven't pitched Hi much 228 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: lately because he mentioned the struggles. I think it's the 229 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 3: last six starts, twenty nine er and runs in twenty 230 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: nine innings pitched. So this Jim, let's just say he 231 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: was on my bench for because I couldn't stomach throwing 232 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 3: him out there. But I do think there's a lot 233 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 3: to like there. His issues A lot of this season's 234 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: been the home run ball and just consistency with walks. 235 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: He's got strikeout stuff when he has when he's On. 236 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 3: He has really good games. I think he has just 237 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: another like little tweak, maybe one pitch away from going 238 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: to be like does Zach Gallon of their rotation when 239 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 3: Gallon moves on at some point. 240 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 4: So I think Fought is very, very good. 241 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: He's gonna be interesting. 242 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 2: And you know, those Brewers, they're gonna You're gonna be 243 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: drinking pretty regularly over the next couple of weeks, not 244 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 2: just because they are the Brewers, but because they are. 245 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: Clinched into the playoff spot. 246 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: So other than Jackson Cherio, you might see some hungover 247 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 2: players there in the Brewers side of things. Let's talk 248 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: zachly tell another guy who I really invested in heavily 249 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: as a waiver pick up earlier in the season. Felt 250 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: like a fool for a lot of the summer, but 251 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: he's really turned it on as a September playoff hero. 252 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: Three consecutive gyms, three consecutive w's. But the cherry on 253 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: top of the cake was yesterday seven innings of one 254 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: hit ball against the Red Straw, the Red Sox striking 255 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: out seven. 256 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: For the season. 257 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: As a whole, it's a three five six ERA. He 258 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: has a one to twenty four whip walk right less 259 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 2: than five percent. I kind of like zachly Tell heading 260 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: in the next year. I don't think he's gonna be 261 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: anybody that gets any kind of hype, and you can 262 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 2: kind of take him as a fifth or sixth starting pitcher. Bubba, 263 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: what's your interest level in Zach Lytel next year. 264 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: I've always liked him as a deeper option, Like he 265 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: started the year really really strong, then he scuffled a 266 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 3: ton of late. So you mentioned the last three starts, 267 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: zero earn runs over those three starts, like eighteen innings, 268 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 3: fifteen k's. You mentioned the three ws seventy six pitches. 269 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: Yesterday's been held with a seventy five basically since coming 270 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 3: off the il. That's why some starts were only like 271 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: five innings. But the skills he has shown throughout the 272 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 3: season have warranted a good fantasy pitcher. It's just he 273 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 3: had that speed bump that could get him at a 274 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: value for you. So I don't mind the idea of 275 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 3: targeting him. Let's just hope the rays devil magic on 276 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 3: the elbows takes turn on him next year because he's 277 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: kind of been the one that's. 278 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 4: Got away so far this season. But I do agree, 279 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 4: I do like the skill set from zecla lettell tough. 280 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 2: To be a raised pitcher the last couple of years 281 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: and not going to the Knife, but hoping for the 282 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: best year for LATL. One more player I want to 283 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: talk about in the headline section is not make you mantle. Sorry, 284 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 2: Anthony Santander. You can easily get them confused these days. 285 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: He had his forty second home run of the season, 286 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: driving in his ninety seventh run, hitting a home run 287 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: against your Giants yesterday by by Ryan Walker, who had 288 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: been going pretty well, but a bit of a stinker 289 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 2: from him yesterday. What is santan dere are going to 290 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: get this summer? 291 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: Where is he going to go? What's your interest level? 292 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: I mean, we can't really speculate on location necessarily, but 293 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: is he a forty home run guy going forward? Are 294 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: you going to be drafting him as such next year, 295 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: whether he's in Baltimore or otherwise because he is a 296 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: free agent. 297 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was drafted him as like a thirty to 298 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 3: thirty five guy this year. I think no matter where 299 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: he goes next year, he's still a thirty to thirty 300 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: five guy with forty plus upside. 301 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 4: That's not going to change. He's not super old. 302 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: He should you'd imagine he signs in a place that 303 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 3: would benefit him, Otherwise that'd be just a cash grab, 304 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 3: which hey, kudos to him too. At the same time, 305 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: I'm just going to say I was watching that at 306 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 3: bat with Santander and Walker was throwing some filth, but 307 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: his sweeper was off one hundred pences in the booth 308 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: every time WALKERU throw a high fastball and tendre bad 309 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: swings and sweepers great foul offs, and Pence fight out said, 310 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: do not throw your sleeper. Everything is to be a 311 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: high fastball. Either walk him or you strike him out. 312 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: Foul ball, falball, sweeper bomb like that's just what took place. 313 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: It was it, Pence nailed it and Walker was due 314 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: for a scuffle. But to your original question, sorry, I 315 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 3: like to go on rabbit holes here. Santander should be 316 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: a beast next year, and I'm hoping he's signed somewhere 317 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 3: very very friendly to take it. 318 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 4: Go sign went the Giants. 319 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 3: He could probably get twenty splash hits a year. That'd 320 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 3: be fun. So we'll see where that goes. 321 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: Rockies opened up the pocketbook. Signed sometimes there. Let's let's 322 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: got a sixty home run season. 323 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: I'll throw the White Sox in the mix there too, 324 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 3: and get the best contracts and Andrew Ben and Tendy, Andrew. 325 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: Ben and Tendy, who has outperformed Julio. 326 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 4: And on fire. Dude. 327 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 3: I took the bit, like I said, we took the 328 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 3: l on that one. Like what he's done for a 329 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 3: month and a half is I had the double check, like, 330 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 3: you know, here's another one for all the you know 331 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 3: the drug tests they make all these athletes take after 332 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: big games. Ben and Tendy better be peeing every day. 333 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 3: It's a home run. That's all I have to say. 334 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 3: Because where did this come from the last couple of months. 335 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 2: It was like when Kevin Pollar was the number one 336 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: fantasy player for like three weeks, and I was like, 337 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: he's getting the Batista treatment every single day, Because I mean, 338 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: being a Blue Jays guy, Jose Batista couldn't hit anything 339 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: until he was like twenty eight. Then he gits fifty 340 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 2: home runs. I can imagine every single game he was 341 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 2: getting drug tested. Probably a similar thing happening with Ben 342 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 2: and Tendy. Who would have thought it? Who would have 343 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 2: thought it? But Hey, the White Sox, I think they've 344 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 2: won four of their last eleven games or something, so 345 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: for them, that's that's pretty damn good. You know, it 346 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: was sticking with Baltimore here for a second, off to 347 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: the santende are one. This is a couple of days 348 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: old now, But we didn't talk about on the show much. 349 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: Actually we didn't talk about at all. Craig Kimbrel was 350 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: dfaid by the Orioles, kind of a surprise move, but 351 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: maybe not a surprise. At the same time. His first 352 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: half he had a two eight zero ERA fifty three 353 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: strikeouts to sixteen walks. Since the All Star Break, Bubba 354 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: Craig KIMBERLLL has a ten to fifty nine ERA, a 355 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: two to one eight whip and fifteen walks and seventeen innings. 356 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: Do you think there's a chance that this is just 357 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: the end of Craig Kimbrel. Is he going to be 358 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: somebody that gets a contract this offseason? And assuming that, 359 00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: let's just say he is done. 360 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: He Hall of Fame worthy pitcher in your eyes, Hall 361 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: of Fame's tough. 362 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 3: I think he's been amazing, Like I wouldn't argue it 363 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 3: if he was. But if guys like Billy Wagner aren't 364 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame. It's hard for me to 365 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: see it. Craig Kimberrill get in the Hall of Fame. 366 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 3: The move makes sense just because the Oriols are going 367 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 3: to the postseason. Kimberl's not adding any value to them 368 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 3: at all. They need a roster spot, like, it's all 369 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 3: just logistics at this point. Sucks for kimber because it 370 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 3: wasn't an amazing first half. It just has gone the 371 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 3: way of the Dodo. So hopefully he figures it out, 372 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: hangs it up, or you know, one more trip around 373 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: the sun see where it goes. But Hall of Fames 374 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 3: just it's tough with the requirements on closers these days. 375 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: The bar is so high. There's like what five relievers 376 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame or something. I think Wagner 377 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: was pretty close last time, and I think he'll eventually 378 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: trickle in, but it is it is a tricky one. 379 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: Like Kimbrell was so dominant when he was with the Braves, 380 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: and for that the majority of his career has been 381 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: a pretty dependable arm. But the benchmark for closers tend 382 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: to be a little bit higher. Let's say you're drafting 383 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: in November December, he's unsigned, Are you gonna speculate on 384 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: him as a potential closer for next season? 385 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 3: Have to be coming out of really good value because usual, 386 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 3: if I'm speculating on a guy, I know where he's 387 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 3: playing already, not that if it does he have the 388 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: role or not, that's not the question. It's Kimbra Legit 389 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 3: could retire, like that's an option, and now you're really 390 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 3: drawing dead. So it's tricky. That's a very very tricky one. 391 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: I doubt I would right now. 392 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: I think I'm on board with you unless it's like 393 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: pick you know, three seventy five or something, and it's like, okay, 394 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: I might as well take a chance and maybe but 395 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: even then you're kind of maybe wasting a pick. You 396 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: could get twenty five saves out of it. You never 397 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: know what's going to happen. But it looks like we're 398 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: kind of on the on the back nine, if not 399 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 2: the final hole here for Craig Camberrell. 400 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: At this point, let's. 401 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: Talk about some of these questions you guys put into 402 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: the chat, starting off with one from Matt here, Edwin 403 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 2: Ucetta or Jason Foley. Rest the season, I personally would 404 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: have to say, fully because they're still playing for something. 405 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: The Rays have kind of thrown in the towel a 406 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: little bit. Fully, been getting a lot of saves recently, 407 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: and the year as a whole has been pretty good. 408 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: I think I'm on the fully side here, Bob, But 409 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: what about you? 410 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 411 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: Fully easy for me. He's getting a lot of saves, 412 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 3: like so much. They s get days off if someone 413 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 3: else gets to save right now. You said it's not 414 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: the everyday guy. Clevenger got to save on Thursday. Like 415 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: they're still playing roulette over there in Tampa. So give 416 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: me fully, Yeah. 417 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: I agree. 418 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: Zayne wants to know or wants to think that Pavin 419 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: Smith is legit. I mean, hell, if you streamed him 420 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 2: this week, you've got in some goodness. There was obviously 421 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 2: that big game last week where he got the three 422 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 2: home runs, but he's hitting every single day, it seems 423 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: over the last two weeks. He's a top ten overall 424 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 2: fantasy player. Don't really want to put too many eggs 425 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 2: in this basket, Baba, but I feel like if he's 426 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 2: still out there right now, he makes a decent ad 427 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,719 Speaker 2: in the middle of a really good lineup. 428 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Peven Smith? 429 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 3: First, I got a bet on him later, so stay tuned. Second, Yeah, Smith, 430 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: he's great for this weekend. Next week a lot of 431 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 3: right handed pitchers coming up for the Dbacks to face, 432 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 3: so Smith will play every day. He's one of the 433 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 3: better potential power sources over the final ten days or so. 434 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think he's legit enough to finish the 435 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: season on your team, let's put it that way. 436 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, probably not, maybe not legit enough that you'd want to, like, 437 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: look at what he. 438 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: Did down the stretch. He's gonna be a, you know, 439 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 2: a great value next year. Like I don't know if 440 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 2: I'm there, but yeah, I agree that for the rest 441 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: of the season, you're you're playing matchups and you're righting 442 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: hot hands, and right now there is not many hotter 443 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 2: hands than Pevin Smith. A question from Harry about Mackenzie 444 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: Gore Are you willing to stream him against the Cubs 445 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 2: this weekend? Look a bit better as of late. Cubs 446 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: are kind of rolling though right now, Bobby, what are 447 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: your thoughts on this one? E? 448 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I would. This is a really tough 449 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 3: one because Mackenzie Gore has looked better to get blown 450 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: up a little bit and his recent a recent start 451 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 3: Cubs are heating up. I think he still roll Gore 452 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 3: here and hope the improvements are there, but just realize 453 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: it's a coin flip basically on what you're gonna get 454 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 3: on this one. 455 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'd understand sitting them. 456 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 4: I'd understand sitting I get it. 457 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 2: I'd be more inclined to start him in a slightly 458 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 2: deeper league, or if you really needed the volume. If 459 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: it's just like, I have one AD left, I might 460 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: as well use it on Gore. I don't know if 461 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: I would be using the ad for the sake of 462 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: using it, if that makes sense. One more question, Yeah, 463 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 2: one more question here for Michael regarding one that's happening today. 464 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 2: Start Peter Armstrong or Jason Dimingez tonight, and unfortunately Cubs 465 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 2: play at two PM and Yankees lineup will not be 466 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: out by then. I think you probably go with PCA. 467 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 2: He has been for the most part, really really good. 468 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: Dimingas has been okay, but I mean he's six for 469 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 2: thirty one for the season as a whole, very small 470 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: sample size, but he has not been nearly as good 471 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 2: as PCA. 472 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, and PCA is facing Trevor Williams making his first 473 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: start after a few months on the IL, so yes, 474 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 3: give me PCA on this one. And I hit his 475 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 3: run prop on Wednesday. I went to look at it today. 476 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 3: We had like a one to eighty five on Wednesday. 477 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 3: It's like only plus one twenty today. So even the 478 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 3: books like the Cubs and company, so play PCA. 479 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: They're catching up. Stick around for the bets. We went 480 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: five of six on Wednesday. We are on fire right now. 481 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 2: One more question from Fred Dinger in the chat, would 482 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: you guys trust Quintana next week at Atlanta and at Milwaukee. 483 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 2: He's been on a run, and boy has he ever 484 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: been on a run. Quintana has been a lot better 485 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: than I would have thought. I feel like I'm probably 486 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: rolling him out there with the caveat that. Two steppers 487 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 2: are never a guarantee this time of year, but I 488 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 2: think I am rolling. 489 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: Him out there. 490 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: I was side of really shallow formats byby what do 491 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: you think I would? 492 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 3: Two steppers are not a guarantee, but it should be 493 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 3: with the Mets because they'll be playing for something almost 494 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 3: to the end. Milwaukee will be wrapped up for that 495 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 3: second start. It will be pretty nice. And Atlanta's the 496 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: question mark but can He's been good enough, So yeah, 497 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 3: I'd Rollekintana on a two step. 498 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: I would never have thought that I'd be trusting Quintana 499 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 2: Fantasy playoffs, but here we are. Here, we are trusting him. 500 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: Let's get up to the three up and three down, 501 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 2: starting with Ladito Vladimigero Junior. Two home runs, went three 502 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 2: for four yesterday, got up to that thirty home run 503 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 2: marker for the third time in four years. He's really 504 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: turned it around after starting off cold looking bad last year, 505 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 2: completely changed the narrative on his whole career. Really Blake Done, 506 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 2: who half of you are probably saying, who is Blake Done? 507 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 2: Went two for three with a home run and a 508 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: couple of stolen bases yesterday, So any streaming or DFS 509 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: players or maybe NL only players really got rewarded there. 510 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 2: And then cj Abrams, who has been pretty disappointing for 511 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: the majority of the year outside of a really hot beginning, 512 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 2: did you some real good stuff yesterday? Four for five 513 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 2: with two runs and a couple of stolen bases, Bubba, 514 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 2: any thoughts on that trio on Guerrero, on Done or 515 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 2: on CJ Abrams? 516 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Ladito, it's good to see him get to thirty, 517 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 3: because you know, forever there it was can't hit the 518 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 3: ball in the air and get you the home runs. 519 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 3: I did a show with Ben tid recently looking at 520 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 3: WRC plusins the All Star Break. Ladito's second behind Judge Aliela. 521 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: Believe was second in the second half of the season. 522 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 3: That's how good he's been. So to see him kind 523 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 3: of get his as awesome. I'd actually to your question 524 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 3: earlier about Alonzo and Olsen, I tink Vlad over both 525 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 3: of them going to the draft. So but so, I 526 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: think it's really good to see him get to thirty 527 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: once again. 528 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 2: I think Vlad could potentially get back into the first round, 529 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 2: depending on the league. Maybe he goes at like fourteen, fifteen, seventeen, 530 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 2: like that type of range I think is where we're 531 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: probably gonna see him. But yeah, as a Blue Jay fan, 532 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 2: it's been the one one of the very few bright 533 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: spots him in Bowden Francis maybe the only things we 534 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 2: can look back on with any degree of happiness for 535 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Let's go to the three down Logan 536 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 2: o'happy with a golden sombrero yesterday. Not what you want 537 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: to see Taiwan Walker, horrendous stuff as usual for him. 538 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: Three and a third, eight earn runs, six hits, three walks, 539 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 2: and four homers. 540 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: Just brutal. 541 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: And then Edward Cabrera was the starting pitcher for that 542 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 2: Miami team. They gave up twenty earned runs yesterday, so 543 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 2: you can imagine what his date looked like. Two and 544 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: a third, seven earned runs, four hits and five walks. 545 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 2: About any thoughts on that trio of Logan o'happy Taiwan 546 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: Walker or Edward Cabrera. 547 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 3: Oh, the Walker one just makes me laugh because it 548 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 3: was supposed to be Colby Allard. And then the Phillies said, Hey, 549 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 3: we love what Walker's been doing out of the bullpen, 550 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 3: so let's throw him back in the starting rotation. It's 551 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 3: just like, you know what, maybe leave him in the bullpen. 552 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 3: So yeah, Walker, that's a contract that the Phillies would 553 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 3: love to get back in a big way. 554 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: Brutal. 555 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 2: Remember when they took out Spencer Turnbull from the rotation 556 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 2: earlier this year for Walker? Just brutal stuff. Let's go 557 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: and talk about some injuries. Boba Schett did the Abe 558 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: Simpson meme of walking in and walking right back out 559 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: the door. Here just can't catch a break he comes back. 560 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: We talked about him on a Wednesday, and I was saying, like, look, 561 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 2: he's probably gonna go you know, twenty for his next 562 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: thirty or something down the stretch and then kill any 563 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 2: Draft eight discounts we're going to get next year. But 564 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 2: I mean, we're looking at an eighty one game sample 565 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 2: size where he really disappointed this season. His year is done. 566 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 2: Fractured a finger fielding a grounder on Wednesday, just horrendous luck. 567 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 2: But what does that mean for next season? 568 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 4: Out? 569 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: Does that mean that we are truly getting the Bobashett 570 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 2: pass pick one hundred type of discount? 571 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: Baba? 572 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 3: I think so, And then I'm already back in if 573 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 3: that's the case. So it's like it's we've talked about 574 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 3: how bad short stuff gets in drafts and all that 575 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. If you're getting Bobashett, now we're talking 576 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: like round nine to ten something like that, that's looking 577 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 3: pretty pretty good all things considered. 578 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 2: Late batting average, a guy who could potentially win a 579 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: batting title next year. And that's not even like, oh 580 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: he's a home or he's a blue Jay guy, like 581 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: he could win a batting title He's like a two 582 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 2: to ninety hitter over his career. At this point, I'm 583 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: pretty excited to get a discount on him. Obviously, you 584 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: feel for the guy works his way back after being 585 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 2: out two and a half months and gets one game 586 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: back in the lineup. It's brutal stuff, but we'll have 587 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 2: to reset next year and hope for a bounce back 588 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 2: from Bow. Same thing can be said about Tyler Glass 589 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 2: now transferred to the sixty day il his season is over, 590 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 2: he will not pitch in the postseason. What does that mean, though, 591 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 2: Bubba for next year with Glass now? Because for two 592 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: consecutive seasons now, he has surpassed his career high in 593 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 2: endings pitched. When he's out there, he's obviously fantastic. Are 594 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 2: you going to be willing to trust him as your 595 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 2: sp one next year though, assuming that he's going where 596 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: he's probably gonna go in the second maybe third round, 597 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 2: is that something you're gonna be interested in? 598 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 3: He will not be on my teams until at least 599 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: a Mark strafts that I've seen him pitching in Florida 600 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 3: or Arizona for the Dodgers. This is the guy that's 601 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 3: got histories of Tommy Johns. He's flat out said he's 602 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 3: throwing and he doesn't care if he has Tommy Johns. 603 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 3: That's why he throws the way he because he's all 604 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 3: I have to throw that way to get paid. He 605 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 3: got paid. The fact he had a setback that they 606 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 3: shut him down not even trying for the postseason. We've 607 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: seen that Dodger's rotation. They need all the help they 608 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 3: can get right now. I am not touching Tyler Glass 609 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 3: now until I see him actually quote unquote healthy, throwing 610 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 3: regularly on amount. 611 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 2: I feel like the price. You know, someone's gonna say, look, 612 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 2: he threw one hundred and thirty something innings. Next year, 613 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 2: it's going to be one hundred and fifty. 614 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 3: That makes it almost worse to me, it's almost worse. 615 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 3: The fact he took the jump that scares me. 616 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: I agree, because that means the price, which was already 617 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 2: last year like what a third rounder a lot of 618 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 2: the time, if not even pushing into the second. In 619 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 2: some cases, I think that he is going to be 620 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 2: too expensive. It's unfortunate because I love Glass now. I 621 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: had him on one team this year. The drafted him 622 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 2: in Teult Wars, which was my last draft that I 623 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 2: was like I want one glass now. 624 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: Share worked out. 625 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 2: For the most part, but that price is going to 626 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: be just as expensive or even more expensive. I'm gonna 627 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: have to tap out at that point. Kevin Gosman left 628 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 2: his start after looking really solid through five innings with 629 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: some back tightness, So this is I would imagine his 630 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 2: season is done. I don't know why Toronto would take 631 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 2: any chances for that last start where they're playing for nothing. 632 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: At this point, I would imagine his season is probably over. 633 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 2: Ozzy Albi's is gonna be coming back to the Braves 634 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 2: lineup tonight in Miami. But about you're seeing Ozzy Albi's 635 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 2: on any kind of waiver wire, shallow, deep, anything in between. 636 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 2: Are you picking him up and starting. 637 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 3: Him only if you're desperate for the position, like I'm 638 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 3: gonna plug him in in DC's where I've had invention whatnot, 639 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 3: just because probably need somebody, I need a pulse. But 640 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 3: if you're in he's on a waiver wire for you. 641 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 3: The only things I'm worried about is to rehab games. 642 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 3: And when we're talking Ozzy Albi's, he can only hit 643 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 3: right handed right now, they're not even hitting them left 644 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: because of his wrist so he's not even one hundred 645 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 3: percent yet, So I'm a little cautious on that one. 646 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna hit right handed against right handed pitching. 647 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's only hitting right handed. That's how they got 648 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 3: him back sooner enough. He can't hit left handed still 649 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: because of his wrist. So that doesn't make me feel 650 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 3: warm and fuzzy. 651 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 4: All things considered, I guess, and it could be wrong. 652 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 3: Maybe he goes in mashes. Who knows, But I'm like, 653 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 3: I hear this information, it doesn't make me too. 654 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: Excited without having a splits in front of me. I 655 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: think he's better as a right handed hitter, but that's 656 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 2: the first year he's better. Yeah, on undred percent, I'm 657 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 2: with here. He's got better power from the right side. 658 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 2: But I don't think we've ever seen him hit right 659 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: hand over his riety, So who knows if that's like consistent. 660 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: That's a good point, man. 661 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,479 Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about that now, Like 662 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 2: I guess, because they're in the hunt and they're thinking, look, 663 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 2: we need reinforcements. He's even at eighty percent, he's playing. 664 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 2: That's probably what they're thinking. But you're taking a bit 665 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: of a chance on you're young. I mean, I guess 666 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 2: they're he's not the face of the franchise or whatever, 667 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: but he's one of the faces of the team. Could 668 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 2: be taking a chance there, But I feel like if 669 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: I have Ozzie Albi's on a team and he's healthy, now, 670 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 2: I'm putting him in my lineup unless I have just 671 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: an incredible second basement or something like. He's going in 672 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: there for the most part, But yeah, don't feel great 673 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: about it at this point. Also don't really feel great 674 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 2: about Francisco Lindor, who has missed the entire Championship week. 675 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 2: He's expected to return this weekend, but we don't have 676 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 2: one hundred percent clarity on that. Any thoughts on Lindor, Bubba. 677 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: If he's healthy, he's going into your lineup, but like, 678 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: are you picking up another shortstop? Are you picking up 679 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: Acunya maybe or somebody to fill in for him there? 680 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: How are you dealing with it where you have Lindor. 681 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: I already picked up some mccunha last weekend. Love what 682 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 3: we're seeing there. He's been super productive. I don't know 683 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 3: how you could put Lindor back out there until he's 684 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 3: fully healthy, and then how do you take anheil Acunya 685 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 3: out of the lineup as he's been so good. That's 686 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 3: a tough one. If you don't want Luis nhil Acunya. 687 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: I would definitely have a backup plan for shortstop, Let's 688 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 3: put it that way, because the Mets are contending, yes, 689 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 3: but they also need Lindor to get into the postseason 690 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 3: with them, so it's kind of a catch twenty two 691 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 3: on bringing him back. So I'd be very cautious with 692 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 3: the door, and i'd have a backup plan. On My 693 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 3: backup plan right now is Acunya, But if he can't 694 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 3: get him, there are a couple of their options out there. 695 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: Does he ever look like his brother? 696 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 2: A like the motions the swing, Even when he slid 697 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 2: into third base yesterday and he did some kind of celebration. 698 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: It's like if somebody put a Braves jersey and did 699 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: like an Ai swap or something, you'd never know it 700 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: wasn't Ronald. It's uncanny how much they assemble each other. 701 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 2: One more piece of injury news, not what anybody wants 702 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: to see. You want, Soto, We'll have some imaging done 703 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: after sliding into a concrete wall in foul territory. 704 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: I didn't get a new update on this one. 705 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: I think we haven't seen any results of imaging yet, Bubba, 706 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: have you seen anything come across while we've been recording. 707 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 3: No, he was having X rays Friday morning. It's the 708 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 3: West Coast. He's probably having him like right now, all 709 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 3: things considered, so we probably won't find anything out till 710 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 3: around lunchtime out here on the West Coast. I guess, 711 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 3: so you got a couple more hours before we know 712 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 3: what the status of Soto is, and with the Yankees 713 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: pretty much already locking up postseason, I'd be surprised if 714 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 3: I'm honestly debating sitting him for the weekend, to tell you. 715 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: The truth, that was my next question. 716 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: Let's say we don't have a ton of clarity by 717 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: lineup lock Let's say even if he's sitting today, that 718 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 2: means you're putting him on the bench for the weekend, 719 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 2: because for people who don't know, if you're playing on 720 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 2: NFBC lineups, you set him from Friday through Sunday, So 721 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 2: you'd have to lock them in today for the whole weekend. 722 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: Would be a bit of a dicey one, Bubba. 723 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it just sucks because they're in Oakland again. Tonight, 724 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 3: Sears tomorrow, Estest on Sunday, all really friendly matchups, all 725 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 3: things considered. But if he's out tonight, I have a 726 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 3: hunch they just kind of, you know, chill with it. 727 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 3: So I'd be cautious, but you know, if you probably 728 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 3: don't have any better options either, I'll say that much. 729 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 3: Two games of Soto is probably better than what you 730 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 3: have on the bench. 731 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, two games of Soto versus three games of you know, 732 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 2: ninety plus percent of outfielders. You're you're probably gonna take 733 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 2: Soto there. But it's time where we move on to 734 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 2: my favorite part of the show, and that is the 735 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 2: Best Bets of the day, presented by our friends over 736 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 2: at bet three six five. Again, use that promo code 737 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 2: leading off, get yourself some goodies here as we enter 738 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 2: into the stretch run of the baseball season. We got football, basketball, hockey, 739 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 2: all kinds of things you guys can do with some 740 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 2: bet credits over at bet three six five. Bubba, where 741 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 2: are you looking today on the bets? You kind of 742 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 2: alluded towards one of them earlier, but what else are 743 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 2: you thinking today? 744 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 3: Going back to the Carlos Tanna well over one and 745 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 3: a half total bases at plus one twenty five. Dude's 746 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 3: been a beast. He faces Richard Fits of the Boston 747 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 3: Red Sox tonight. You could play with that as much 748 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 3: as you want, folks, But I like Santana for that 749 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 3: Trevor story in that same game, David fest as we 750 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 3: struggling to bench and story has been awesome, absolutely great 751 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 3: since coming back. Over half a run for Trevor story 752 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 3: is plus one sixty five, so we'll have some fun 753 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 3: with that. And then here's my Paven Smith. When I 754 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: wanted to play total basses, juice wasn't worth the squeeze, 755 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 3: wanted to play runs hits. RBI is definitely not worth 756 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 3: the squeeze. So we got a little creative here with 757 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 3: Colin Ray taking the bump in Milwaukee, I got Peven 758 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 3: Smith over half a run scored at a whopping up 759 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 3: plus one seventy five. So I'll take my chances in 760 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 3: that one. It's a couple of big ones. We'll see 761 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 3: if they hit, but you only need one to basically 762 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 3: break even and just lose a little bit too to 763 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 3: have a good day three to really enjoy life. So 764 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 3: I'll take Santana, Peven Smith, and Trevor story all plus odds. 765 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: The plus money man at it again, and we are 766 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 2: hot right now, folks, So take a look in detailing 767 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 2: some of these. Jacob de Grom is my first one, 768 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 2: going back to that well against Seattle again he gets 769 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 2: the best strikeout matchup in baseball. Again, we're not getting 770 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 2: it at plus money, but at six and a half. 771 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 2: I know he didn't go terribly deep in his first 772 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 2: start back, but I feel like he is going to 773 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 2: continue to ramp up a little bit. There is also 774 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 2: the thought that maybe the Rangers don't take any chances 775 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 2: here because they're not really playing for anything, but six 776 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 2: and a half strikeouts for de Grom could literally be 777 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 2: had in three innings against a team like Seattle. So 778 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 2: this is one that I'm gonna take a chance on 779 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 2: at minus one ten. I'm also playing a little fast 780 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 2: and loose with George Kirby in the under Walks is 781 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 2: at plus one seventy five. We know that his command 782 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: is arguably the best in all of baseball. Maybe you 783 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 2: could put Zach Efflin up in that category, but it's 784 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 2: probably Kirby. He only has one walk over each of 785 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 2: his last three games. The Rangers are kind of a 786 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 2: mid pack team in terms of drawing walks. So I'll 787 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: take a chance there on under zero point five walks 788 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 2: at that plus one seventy five number that is just 789 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 2: so juicy. And then I'm going against the grain here. 790 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of people really start to buy 791 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 2: into David Peterson as of late on this show, Bubba, 792 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: we've talked on probably a couple shows about how those 793 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 2: underlying numbers are a little bit scary. The strikeouts aren't 794 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 2: really there, so I in general don't really want to 795 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 2: trust them in a repeat matchup against a team like Philadelphia, 796 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 2: who he just dominated against No Question seven and two 797 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 2: thirds one run ball in a repeat outing, though, I 798 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 2: don't think it'll be as favorable to him. So I'm 799 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: taking David Peterson over two and a half earned runs 800 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 2: at plus one ten. Guys, those are our favorite bets 801 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 2: for today, and Bubba, before we get out of here, 802 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 2: let's get your home run call for the day and 803 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: for the weekend. 804 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 3: For the weekend, I do laugh because you know, you 805 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 3: look at the leader boards. If you just took Otawny 806 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 3: all year your top three, basically that's pretty fun stuff. 807 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 3: But for me, I wanted to take some royals props 808 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 3: because my buddy made some blacks take in the bump 809 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 3: being sarcastic just because he's a giant and he has 810 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 3: not been good. So give me Bobby Wick Junior. Let's 811 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 3: have a fun weekend. The guy that took the world 812 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 3: by storm is going to be the runner up in 813 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 3: the al MVP. Let's have some Bobby Wick Junior fun 814 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 3: this weekend. 815 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: Hard to go against with Bob what Junior has done 816 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 2: for me personally. I'm going for Tyler O'Neil, who's facing 817 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 2: up against David Festa. 818 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: They are at Fenway. Look, I love David Festa. 819 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a really good pitcher, but 820 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 2: my god, does he give up a lot of home 821 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 2: runs and a lot of hard contact nine percent barrel rate, 822 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 2: one point four to seven homers per nine. Tyler O'Neill 823 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 2: at Fenway Park most of the time is going to 824 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 2: be able to get one out, but especially against a 825 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 2: rookie in Festa who has dealt with home run problems. 826 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 2: That is the way I am gonna look tonight.
