WEBVTT - Leading Off June 19th, 2024 (EP. 842) 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.360 Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:10.040 Off Live, brought to you by Bet three sixty five, 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.319 Bet five bucks, get one hundred and fifty and bonus bets. 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:14.760 When you do. It's me Joey p That of course 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.360 is the Welsh, and it's you, the Peanuts and the 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.599 Cracker Jacks. And we are a baseball show first and 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.640 foremost right Fantasy Baseball. A little bit of betting, little bit, 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.320 this little bit of that, but at the heart of 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.720 all of us here at Fantasy Bros. MLB, we just 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:34.960 love baseball. And unfortunately baseball lost an absolute legend last 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:39.840 night at ninety three years old, arguably, or my mind, 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.760 probably the greatest all around baseball player to ever play. 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.800 Willie Mays unfortunately left this world. But what an incredible 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.960 legacy he left behind. Almost three thousand games played in 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.280 twenty three seasons, a guy that played a lot of 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.920 games at Candlestick Park and still hit over six hundred 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.800 and sixty zo runs. A guy that maybe could have 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:03.600 hit even more depending on what other ballpark he might 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.399 have played at. He had speed, he had grace, He 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.440 was important culturally as much as he was on the field. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.160 He was that important off the field and Welsh. I 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.160 think we all knew that Willy Mays was, you know, 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.399 getting very up there in age. We'd see him on 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.560 occasion the last five six years, go out there for 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.080 a moment before a game or a special event, and 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.399 you know, Willie May's an icon in Major League Baseball 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.120 and icon in San Francisco baseball and New York baseball too. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.240 The catch, the moments there, you know, on deck for 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.080 the Bobby Thompson home run. He was just a part 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.120 of this game and all those incredible moments through the 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.840 fifties and sixties and even into the early seventies. A 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.320 huge loss for Major League Baseball, a huge loss for 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.960 the baseball community at large. But what a life, what 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.040 a career when you look back at everything that man accomplished. 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.960 I was thinking to myself, like, because I tweeted icon, 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.920 just icon, He's iconic. 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.680 But the catch like top five? 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.080 Like if you're thinking of all the moments that we've 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.560 had in baseball, like what are the what are the 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:16.720 imprinted baseball images or you know, short clips, is there 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.960 anything bigger than the catch that comes to your mind? 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.960 You know, it's it's absolutely top five. If not top three, 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.920 And it's great when you have those iconic moments happen 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.480 with iconic players. And I think that's the thing like 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.480 you don't always get like like the Bobby Thompson home run. Ironically, right, 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.480 Abbi Thompson was an iconic player. He had an iconic moment, 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.800 and I think that's something that you go, oh wow, 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.440 that's pretty amazing. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.160 Like like the images that are imprinted, Like I have 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.519 that image of you know, Hank Aaron and the two 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.920 fans coming out and kind of as he's circling second 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.959 base over to third, like that is imprinted. 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.760 The catch is probably the tippy top Kirk Gibson. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.800 That's not like a great one, but like those are 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.359 some of the memories that are in print. But I 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.520 don't know, I think it is like I think it 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.720 is the iconic, Like that is the image I think 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.080 of outside of like Ken Griffy junior swing, Like that 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.040 is the image if you were to say, give me 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.840 one baseball play that exemplifies baseball in its history, it's 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.600 like that that catch. It's it really is incredible. 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:17.560 So it's it's sad. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.919 It's sad to we we lose, you know, like our 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.040 history our history. 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.360 I mean, you know, it's incredible. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.480 Baseball is incredible because that man will live on forever, 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.359 like he is going to live on forever. But losing 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.080 the the the important pieces you know, of our baseball life, 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.240 it's definitely sad. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.560 Oh absolutely, but again you you rejoice an incredible career, 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.320 incredible life too. I saw a thing too. You know, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.840 you're seeing all these you know, amazing stats and facts 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.640 about Willie Mays, which is really cool. You see the 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.680 ones about oh he you know, he won twelve goal gloves, 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.400 more than anybody else, but they didn't invent the gold 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.520 glove until it was in the league six years, so 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:59.320 he probably one one in another like four or five. Possibly. Also, 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.600 I saw somebody on MLB Network bring up an amazing 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.720 point two, which is, you know, you can argue that 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.480 Josh Gibson was the best player in the negro leagues. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.560 You can argue that Baby Ruth was the best player 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:13.240 in Major League Baseball before integration, but once baseball was integrated, 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.800 it's hard to argue. When the playing field was everyone together, 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.960 it's hard to argue there's ever been a more complete 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.360 player than Willie Mays. I think he is in terms 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.119 of speed, power, in terms of defense, all those things. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.640 I mean, he was the complete five. He is the 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.640 prototypical complete five to a player. And again, sad news 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.200 today to start us off in baseball. But that's okay, everybody, 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.320 boys and girls, go ahead. 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.080 Well, I just wanted to say this one thing real quick. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:41.320 It makes me think of it. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.920 It's it's Willie May's adjacent but Willie May's I believe. 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.280 I mean, the story is relative to this. That he 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.960 lived out here in Arizona, in Scottsdale, in a neighborhood 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.800 that a friend of mine and Bogman's used to used 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.279 to live in in North Scottsdale. And when I don't 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:00.839 know if we've told the story before, but when Bogman 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.400 was a kid, we had, like I said, a couple 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.680 friends in this neighborhood. He goes into this neighborhood and 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:12.960 Barry Bonds was at Willy Mays's house but outside, and Bogman, little, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.480 a little baby Bogman, little tiny Bogman went to go 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.560 out and try to get not Willy Mays's attention, but 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.440 but Barry Bonds' attention, and Barry Bonds yelled at Bogman 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:24.200 and told him. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:29.640 To go away. Yeah, that sounds about right sad opening 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.280 to the show today, but we want to pay tribute 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:35.320 to the greatest, to be honest, that's what it is. 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.160 So we want to make sure we gave some weight 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.520 and some time to that today. But again we want 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.840 to leave you with some fun too, So on the 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.120 show later today, we have a little bit of fun 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.800 for you. Our producers put something together, very amusing, so 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.040 stick with us to the end of the show. We're 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.480 going to show it and debut it a special new 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.360 intro for the show we're going to be using hopefully 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.520 going forward. But look, we're here to talk about baseball too, 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.240 so let's get in there and talk about some baseball. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.920 Talk about headlines. Go into the al with a caf strain. 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.040 That's the biggest one. We just said this yesterday and 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.279 we said, well, when Bobaschek gets ready, that'll be the 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.240 end of the season for the Blue Jays. Aurelvis Martinez 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.160 is the guy taking his place Welsh. There you go. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.080 I mean, this is like the perfect storm of things 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:15.880 that we've been talking about in the last week. So 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.800 I'll let you take it from here. What does this 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.480 mean for the Blue Jays and how the fantasy managers 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:22.599 recoup from this one. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.400 I mean, what does it mean? That's a great question. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.640 I don't know what. I think. Toronto is one foot in, one. 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.120 Foot out, as we said yesterday, and it's going to 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.880 continue for a couple of weeks. The relevant part of 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.000 it is Irrelvis Martinez is finally up. I'm just not 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.159 as big on Erelvis Martinez as a lot of other people. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.120 He's shown exactly who he's always been. He had this huge, 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.560 big up which you know, hat tipped to him in 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.720 the crazy start to the year. He had like that 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.159 April where I think it like one only one game 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.240 where he didn't have a hit. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:55.560 He was awesome. 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.680 Then he tapered down and he went into a big 0:06:58.760 --> 0:06:59.440 tailspin with. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:00.640 That batting Appridge dipped. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.360 I think around two point thirty he's restabilized again. He's 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.960 cut his strikeouts down from years past, but there still 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.440 is a swing and miss element to his game. He 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.520 obviously has got some really big power. He does not 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.440 have the contact ability of Bobachetz. This is a very 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.480 different player that you're going to see, but a very 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.440 fantasy relevant player if he clicks. I just don't know 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.600 if he's going to click right out the gates. But 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.960 this is one of those guys that you go and 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.360 pick up. You just all the analysis and dah da 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.440 da da, you just go and pick them up, as 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.440 long as you're not sacrificing something that is really really important, 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.480 because I think maybe the most glaring thing with rookies 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.000 in general this year, they've just kind of all. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:44.760 Been failures, you know. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.880 I think there's very few that have actually really worked. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.560 So I would hold on to see if this does stick, 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.520 because they could maybe put him in another part of 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:57.320 the lineup, but this is a powerchase. I'm not holding 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.760 my breath on Erolvis Martinez long term. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.160 Pick him up a tough couple of weeks here for 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.880 the infielders, or a week I should say, Bobashet, Mookie 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.880 bets He hikes h Walker Buehler. Also more Dodger news. Uh, 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.800 considering they're putting him on the I l possibly because 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.240 of yesterday's performance against the Rockies. 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.640 They was the term have you heard this before? They 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.560 said they were gonna give him a blow. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.680 And all the time, Yeah, oh no, that's a that's 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.000 an old one. Willie Randolph was famous all the time. 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.120 He would say all the time. And this was kind 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.560 of before you know, social media has you know, really 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.599 took over things. I can only imagine. But he was 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.280 just like, yeah, we're gonna give Jimmy a blow today 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.280 and this guy blow tomorrow and blah blah blah, and 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.760 how about a rest? Uh No, I mean you can 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:41.960 have the rest. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.800 Want to have a sit, Let's have a sit, not 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:44.280 a blow. 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:45.840 But that's and that's what I'm saying. I mean he 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.680 had eight starts since he's come back from Tommy John 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.319 A five eight four e R right he or whatever 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.440 you need or whatever he needs, get him whatever he needs, 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.040 because that guy needs something. I was in Buldurham. I 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.120 feel like, you know, I got a blow. I think 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.439 it might have been uh no, but that is a 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.439 common baseball is Oh yeah, I just if you've never 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.440 heard that, that's not like I like vaguely have seen. 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.240 But I don't think in recent history of someone in 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:14.800 like news articles be. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.360 Like, yeah, they're talking about Kivid Walker. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:17.840 Buell or a blow. 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.320 And I was like, were we could just say rest? 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.240 We have enough words that we can say he's gonna 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:25.800 rest or sit for a little bit. 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:31.680 Yeah, I agree. Also crazy might be the guy getting 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.080 called up. I think the biggest beneficiary. Like, if you 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.240 will look at who is winning right now for the Dodgers, 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.319 I think it's Gavin Stone. Walker bull is going to 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.520 the il, Bobby Miller's getting hit all over the ballpark, 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.240 Kershaw still a month away, and you have a motives 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.520 on the I l like Gavin Stone right now looks 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.000 like a major buy for me, Like I'd be trying 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.079 to get this guy everywhere. 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:55.120 Yeah, I mean maybe it's not anywhere, but you do 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.160 have to give like some consideration to what his like 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.280 this team, the rotation and they put out, and how 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.560 many innings are really comfortable going it's been. He's had 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:08.160 a really great year, but he's got an almost full 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.040 ERA differential from his expected. He has a three point 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:12.840 zero one ERA, but it's a three point. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.040 Nine to eight expected. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.920 His k's have been really low, his walks have been 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.439 better on his career, but still not great. And I 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.680 don't know, like he weirds me out this right here. 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.560 This is such a weird thing. You see guys that 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.559 throw fastballs as their primary pitch, and that pitch will 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.200 have like a fifteen, sixteen, eighteen percent with rate, and 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.720 then the secondaries will go in and have this big 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.920 with rate. Well, he throws his best pitches, his change up. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.000 He throws that pitch more than any other, but it 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.400 has a It still has a thirty four percent with rate, 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.280 but then he's got sinker and fastball with even lower 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.200 with rates. So I don't know, like, you would love 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.640 to see a little bit more of a mix, so 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.800 his change up could be more effective, so you can 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.079 get that into like the forty five percent with range, 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.360 and then I think you could see those k's. But 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.200 he's a you know, under twenty percent k guy. He's 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.400 great right now. If he's sitting out there, I don't 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.240 know if I'm trading for him, because, like so many 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.600 of these young pitchers, what does he have going for 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.640 the rest of the year. If they decide to start 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.040 tapering down the ending outside of every fricking Dodger's pitcher 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.720 getting hurt, they will get Kershaw back at some point. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.080 They probably make a move here in the near future. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.840 I'm down with Gavin Stone, but there's there's a few warts. 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.720 I'm just saying Gavin Stone for the next two months 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.320 is a good investment. Yes, that I agree with that, 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.920 I think, I think you're looking at June nineteenth to 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.559 maybe even early August, like mid August. Like, I think 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.040 you're in a good spot here with him, at least 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:39.920 through the month of July. I think he ain't going 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.720 no place. Nick Lodolo. I saw Razor in the chat 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.400 was saying that Nick Lodolo here to put a cy 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:46.640 Young wager on him. 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:47.280 I'll give me. 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.800 I mean, not gonna happen, But he's a Reds guy, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.559 you know. Let him have his time, Let him have 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.240 his fun. Struck out eight guys, no walks, eighteen whiffs, 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:59.640 fifty swings, and missus thirty six percent with rate. Look, 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.480 he's been right. We talked about last week. I asked 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.520 the question, did Nick Lodolo become an ace right under 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.760 our nose and we didn't realize it? Two seven six era. 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.240 It's great, Like this is the way the Reds stay 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:09.720 in this thing. And they get Marte back in a 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.559 couple of weeks. Very exciting, also exciting. Max Scherzer is 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.559 gonna make his season debut on Saturday against the Royals 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.560 Hazah and Justin Verlander goes on the fifteen day IL 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.600 retroactive with the neck discomfort. Still got a crick in 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.440 the neck, still not working out from Justin Verlander. So 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.400 we'll see old people. This is what happens to us. 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.959 We get neck problem. Back is a blow. I need 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.000 a backy out of me. Yeah, he's gotta get a blow. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.600 Edwin Diaz scoreless ninth or him he's back, baby Andres 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.160 Munos pitched one and two third scoreless innings. Now, interesting 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.920 thing about Munyos is it's like, you know, his era 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.440 is at one four seven, he's got thirteen saves. But 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.600 it's funny sometimes you see him. He'll come in and 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.480 pitch when it matters most like, you know, like to 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.760 win the game because they don't care about our fantasy teams. 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:54.760 And it's something that I've noticed they've done with him 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.160 on a few occasions where it kind of takes him 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.560 out of the saves. Does that like bother you or 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.280 you just kind of say you just got to take 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.200 the lumps. I know it bothers you internally as a 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.680 fantasy person, Yeah, but I mean it can't really shake 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.520 you off, Munios. Right like when that occasionally happens, like 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:10.840 you gotta take no good with the bad. 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:15.360 There, it's not gonna take you off now. But if 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.080 this team does take the trade deadline and go to 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.360 bolster up that bullpen, it could be something in the 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.920 crunch where this team has shown you like they're not 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.280 committed to him being the every every day This is 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.080 why a lot of us like Matt Brash, you know, 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.280 and then he gets hurt. But this is why he 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:32.960 would have been one of those guys that would have 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:33.600 gotten those. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.440 Saves friends on MySpace or something like you. 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:36.920 He's a super nice guy. 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:38.320 He's just a super nice well, he is one of 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.959 the nastiest pitches in baseball. I think it was Austin Riley, 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.840 who I think the one that said that his sweeper 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.840 was the grossest pitch in all of baseball. But that 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.120 doesn't matter now whatever, Tommy John, he's out. But if 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.560 they were to go and acquire, you know, any of 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.280 those pseudo closery type of guys, if they were to 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.920 go get Tanner Scott, that might be a little bit 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:00.840 of a warning sign for the end of the year. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:01.360 So I don't know. 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.920 It doesn't sway me, but it does keep my attention going. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.080 Trade wins are starting to go too. I don't even 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.200 saw a report we always know the Mariners and they're 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.600 going to be involved in those But you also had 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.920 the Padres and Preller them saying that they are the 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.199 most active team right now. So you are going to 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.600 see these teams starting to fight for those pieces, and 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.040 a lot of those pieces are going to be bullpen sides. 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.680 You know, Tanner Scott's going to get traded, that's been confirmed. 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.440 A couple closers are going to lose those jobs, and 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.080 we just don't know what the market's going to look like. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.720 But I think the Mariners clearly are a team that 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.840 would go out and try to get some bullpen help when. 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.000 They give me a lot of the Mariners. Corbyn Carroll 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.680 two for three with the triple, so he's healthy. A 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.800 and Slay CHACONI really stuck the ship in my back 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.280 yesterday six scoreless things. How dare you, Slay CHACONI? How 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:46.640 dare you you have? 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.520 You're such a negative Nancy on slate every time he comes. 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.880 Up negative positive. I'm just on the under because it's 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.960 worked and it's made me money, and yesterday it didn't. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.360 So I'm a little sad. I'm allowed to be a 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.560 little sad. I'm sad, all right. Maybe I need to 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.120 blow it. Uh, cheer me up. You know, Blue Jays 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.800 released Daniel Logelbach, So there you go, rookie lucky time. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.760 Saddan said it in Rafaela three to four double RBI, 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.240 good day for him. He sixteen over twenty six over 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.840 his last seven games, so really heating up in June. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:23.480 Rafaela was a player you were very much on and 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.240 it looks like, you know, again the strikeouts still there, 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.240 but it looks like a player that's going in the 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.240 right direction. Ben Rice did play yesterday for the Yankees, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.240 one for four with a single. There you go. And 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.080 Jason Domingez apparently has what an oblique strain. Well stop 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.520 me if you heard it before. So there you have it. 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:44.560 Yee, I am so done with oblique strains. That's gonna 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.200 be I'll tell you that's gonna be the thing that's 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.480 gonna be this offseason is all the baseball is gonna 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.440 rally around. What are the things everyone's like, stop throwing 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.160 so hard, stop throwing one hundred for Tommy John's what's 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.360 gonna be the thing that's gonna start helping obliques. It's 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.520 gonna be some type of workout. It's going to be 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.320 some alteration that a place. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.200 Like drive Line is going to do. 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.720 There's going to be some type of tackling because this 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.680 this is the new thing. Bat speeds up, obliques are up, 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.600 rib injuries are more common. That's like every other injury 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.680 is something right around the waist. It's something right in 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.560 that area where you know the torque and that bat 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.640 speed is affecting, and it's pretty brutal, and some of 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.400 these things can be really long standing. So this is 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.080 why when someone had tweeted me about the Hey, who 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.240 would you rather have rest of season? Noelvie or Jason? 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.680 At this point, it is Noelvie because I don't know 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.320 what this recovery is going to look like. The Yankees 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.160 are not aggressive in bringing Domingos up. I think in 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.000 September Domingos can be up and doing stuff. But Nowelvie 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.040 is going to be back. I think in like a 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:44.720 week and a half. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.800 Isn't it like twenty six I think or something like that, 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.200 twenty seven somewhere around there. Oh, here's a quick question 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.680 here from that guy, does bets have any trade value 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.520 coming out saying six to eight weeks? Can you trade him? 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.400 Would you trade him? That's interesting somebody. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.800 Yeah, and not in like Rodo or. 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.480 It's got to be top of the standing steamer. It's 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.200 gonna be a team that's coasting and goes yeah, I 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.399 want to get greedy and has a buttload of depth 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:10.359 to be able to do that. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.800 But it's got il spots. Yeah, it's like a playoff 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.639 run there. They're making that. Yeah, in a league where 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.800 someone can get them on the iel. There there is 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.200 the like, this is the playoff run guy. You're gonna 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.400 get him for your fantasy playoffs. So there is some 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:27.800 inherent trade value. But I don't know, Like if I 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.200 had Mookie Bets, I'm not gonna go. I mean, here's 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.439 a question, Saddanna Rafaela, like, would you rather have Rafaela 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.000 right now? Who has been i mean top twenty five 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.840 ish player over the last couple of weeks. He doesn't 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.199 have a great hitting profile though, I'll tell you that why. 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.840 I would say, that's funny enough. But if it was 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.119 a packageame on something else. Maybe if I was a 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:52.640 team that was finding for my life and I knew, 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.320 like way without Bets the next two months, I'm toast, 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.960 then I might give it a shot. But other than 0:17:58.000 --> 0:17:59.800 that I think I would probably, I mean, it would 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.640 need more of a package than that to get that done. 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.399 As I said, please stay at the end of the 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.240 show today we got a special fun thing for you. 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.959 We want to leave you smiling today. We also want 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:10.360 to leave you with some guys to pick up off 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.520 the waiver wires. So without further ado, let's hit the 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:17.240 waiver wire for week thirteen. Let's put some guys on 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.960 your roster, Welsh, I want to start with Tyler Soderstrom, 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.439 first base slash catcher for the Oakland A's roster. In 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.359 forty seven percent of leagues, he's hit safely in ten 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.640 of his last eleven. He's at three forty two. Over 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.800 that spam he is, you know, the slash right now 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:34.560
