23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: right foot.

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Everybody was ready to go to the comments section was

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: Blair and I looked. I was like, Okay, geez, get

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: everybody going here. But as mentioned, we've got a lot

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: of kind of like playoff push happening. Some people. I've

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: got a there's a playoff starting in the Scott White

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Dynasty League. Some of you are a week or two away.

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: But either way, a lot of what we're going to

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: do is to kind of get you prepped in here,

32
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: so let's jump right into it. This is actually not

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: going to be necessarily a performance based thing from this weekend.

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: But this report is something we've kind of been talking about.

35
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: But I guess we've got a pseudo answer. The athletics

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: kin Rosenthal reports that the Pirates have openly said about restricting.

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Everybody's kind of talked about Paul Skins. His last two starts,

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: they've not been good. They've been pretty black, and they've

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: been talking about, oh, do we need to shut them

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: down here there. The report is that the only restriction

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: that the Pirates are considering for Paul skiing is potentially

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: shortening his outings. And in an article I think this

43
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: was over on ESPN and an article they kind of

44
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: describe it as the same thing that Garrett Crochet is

45
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: dealing with in that you might see four outing a

46
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: four inning outings, very anti baseball with what they want

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: to do with the upcoming future. But I ask you, Joe,

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: what changes for you as far as anything for fantasy

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: relevance if Paul Skeins is going to have like a

50
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: much shorter leash moving forward. Now they did say nothing

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: about like cutting him down, which is great, but if

52
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: you got shorter outings, are you concerned at all?

53
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: I am? I am a little bit. We've seen with

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet what that can mean from a fantasy point

55
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: of view. It kills a lot of the value, especially

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: if you're really trying to catch up in either wins

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: or quality starts. Right now, you're not gonna be able to

58
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: do that at all. And Garret Crochet where we are,

59
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: he's kind of a drop at this point. Like I know,

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: he had a great start the other night, but it's

61
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: really tricky to carry him on a lot of shallow rosters.

62
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: And I think it might get to that point with Skeens.

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: If he's only getting three or four innings, he's gonna

64
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: have to be perfect in those outings. And as he

65
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: keeps going along this year, he has not looked quite

66
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: as sharp as he did out of the gate. So

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: this could come to a situation where you're getting down

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: to your finals and you don't really trust Paul Skeins.

69
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: If he's getting two three innings going into that last week,

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: it might be tricky to use a spot on him

71
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: on your roster. I think I saw your.

72
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Tweet the like, was that preemptive to the start? Because

73
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: you did the Garrett Crochet thing. We were like, hey, listen,

74
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: we gotta cut him. And then I saw you tweet

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: that and I looked at the line. I was like,

76
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good line. It's a pretty good line

77
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: for Crochet. It's just not going super deep. What was

78
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: that tweet after or was it pre line?

79
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: No, that was after. That was after the game, or

80
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: maybe the game was still going on. But I was

81
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: doing my usual searches on baseball savant, getting my recaps ready,

82
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: and he had thrown fifty five pitches. He threw eighty

83
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: percent strikes. He was absolutely dominant, dominant, there was no

84
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: reason to pull him, and yet still he only went

85
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: four innings. So I see that, and I think, okay,

86
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: So even when Crochet is going to be perfect against

87
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: a tough line of in Houston, they're still not going

88
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: to let him go. So if that's what we're seeing

89
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 2: on his best nights, what's the point. I can still

90
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: see if you really need the strikeouts and you're hoping

91
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: that he's good for your ratios, I can kind of

92
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: get it. But in those like ten team leagues twelve

93
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: team leagues, I don't know if those three or four

94
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: inning starts are really going to be worth it. So

95
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: with here Crochet, I think he's a cut unless you're

96
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: really confident in those ratios and you really desperately need strikeouts.

97
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: I just don't think he's going to do a lot

98
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: for you, especially if you need wins and quality starts

99
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: like you're screwed there.

100
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think everybody needs strikeouts. To your point,

101
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: the quality start thing is kind of an issue. I

102
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I think maybe that discussion with

103
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: Crochet is like a tiny bit more ten man league

104
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: than anything else. I'm really not sure I'm looking to

105
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: cut him in any other spot, and the same thing

106
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: kind of goes for this is that application thing, Lok,

107
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: we talk about Paul Skins. What's the application for you?

108
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: Probably nothing. Some of you guys still have trade deadlines

109
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: out there. Probably more of a reason, like you know,

110
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: over this next little run to not run him out.

111
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: But you know what, the chat's got an interest sting point,

112
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: and this is where I was gonna go. Barry whips.

113
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: Barry had said springs striking out eight over five. That's

114
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: kind of the similar run you're gonna probably see with Skeins,

115
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: Like I don't I think Skins could still go six, don't.

116
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,559
Speaker 1: I think seven's are off the board. I think five

117
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: is the sweet spot. But I also think we can

118
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: maybe tiny bit acknowledge like he might be paring down

119
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think this is part of it.

120
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: Like I think he's getting a little bit worn league

121
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: maybe catching up. I want to say one of the

122
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: starts to Velo, might it not down down, but might

123
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: have just been like slightly down. I think five. I

124
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: think five is going to be the key. So there

125
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: might be something still in there if you were able

126
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: to move off. But it's not a cut situation. But

127
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: at least you now have some clarity that they are

128
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: not in a full shutdown mode. Now they say that,

129
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: say that with Proche, they say that with Skeins. Mid

130
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: September could happen two weeks in and they could just say,

131
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, Championship week, they could be shut down, but

132
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: just know the process is starting. But I felt like

133
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: they held it up a little bit by saying that

134
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: this is the only element they're doing. And they're also

135
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: they're vying. They're like, he's vying for a Rookie of

136
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: the Year not And I don't think that's just like

137
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: thrown to the side like he is the current odds

138
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: on favorite. Just buy a smidge, Just buy a smidge

139
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: over Jackson Merrill. So I don't think they want to

140
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: like completely take that away from him or anything like that.

141
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: This weekend we had another gimmicky game. What's your thoughts

142
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: on gimmicky games? By the way, the what was it

143
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: the Field of Dreams game? This weekend we had the

144
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: Little League game Are you a gimmick game guy?

145
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: I kind of am. Yeah. I liked when they mix

146
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: things up. I like the London games. I like the

147
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: Field of Dreams games. I don't like the first week

148
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: of the season when they do that whole thing in

149
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: March when they go to Korea or wherever, and it

150
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: just kind of complicates everything for fantasy. But in season,

151
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: I like these little things. I think it adds a

152
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: little bit of spice to the season. When it gets

153
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: a little bit, you know, it slags on a little

154
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: bit in the middle of the summer. You get a

155
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: nice little event like that that just kind of gets

156
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: the fans more invested in it. So I like it.

157
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: I think it's a fun event.

158
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm all, what's man, Everyone's gonna kill me

159
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: for this. What's the baseball movie that everybody loves with

160
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: the little kids.

161
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: I'm fraiding the name with the kids.

162
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: So you're not good for this.

163
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: You're not talking about the rookie, are you.

164
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 1: No? No, the one that everybody cares about, the ball

165
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: with the dog and Sandlot. Thank you, Donnie, Thank you Donnie.

166
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: Donnie doesn't even know baseball, and he knew that Arico.

167
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: I need someone else that can instantly pick me up

168
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: in those instances. You can't be like me. You can't

169
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: also not know it. I would I would like them

170
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: to run a sandlot MLB game where they all just

171
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: wear T shirts and there's a dog. There's a big fence,

172
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: big wooden fence at the end, and there's like a

173
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: dog that's gonna bite the baseball. That's the type of

174
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: gimmick I want, or you know, just normal baseball that

175
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: I can watch without it being blacked out or having

176
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: to have Apple TV. But you know what, to each

177
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: his own. In that game, Trick Scooble had a no decision,

178
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: just one run, three hits over six innings. Clay Holmes

179
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: ended up blowing the save where Parker Meadows ended up

180
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: having I believe the RBI win in the tenth inning

181
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: in that Little League Classic. Any other takeaways from that,

182
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Stroman is really good. I don't know if there's

183
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: anything gimme. I mean it's cool, like they got to

184
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: hang out with the kids, and I enjoyed that type

185
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: of stuff. We did have a reiteration of how good turik'

186
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Schooble is. And I'd also point out this weekend you

187
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: had Corbyn Burns get obliterated and Treike's scouble good. That

188
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: actually might have been the last call for Trike's scuble

189
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: to be the league's best Pitcher. You know that maybe

190
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: isn't Chris Sale, but any takeaways from the Little League Classic.

191
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: Well, it was the Clay Holmes and the Clay Holmes

192
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: takes online. Yankees fans are ready to earn this guy

193
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: at the steak. He has a two eighty eight ERA

194
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: this year, like they look at the blown saves and

195
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: he has been kind of frustrating. But you know, I

196
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: heard everybody talking about Clay Holmes, Clay Homes, he socks,

197
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: he's awfully's terrible. So I went and looked, because I

198
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: don't have any Clay Homes on my teams this year,

199
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: so I'm like, what has he actually been up to?

200
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: To eighty eight ERA? Twenty six saves, one thirty whip

201
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: isn't great. But the takeaway for me was just how

202
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: much Yankees fans hate their team when things don't go correctly.

203
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: When you just learned that you knew here, you knew here?

204
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: Kidding me. Patrick has the best idea ever. Patrick, you win.

205
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: He said in that My Sandlot game they should just

206
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: have one ball, just one baseball that they play with

207
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: the entire game. I love it. I absolutely love it.

208
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: I also like the idea, let's do an angels in

209
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: the outfield one. Let's see if we can figure out

210
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: how they're gonna play that one, Like maybe they get

211
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: Hollywood involved and they just have guys on wire. I'm

212
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: all for these are the games that I want, But

213
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: I love Patrick's idea sandlot baseball. It's at a crappy backfield.

214
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: They get one baseball to play with. I'm in, I'm

215
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: totaling in. Let's do that. Let's let these gimmick games

216
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: be way way better than they are, way way better

217
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: than they were early on in the year. Blake Snell

218
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: is insane. Blake Snell this weekend, seven innings, ten strike,

219
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: mister Jo Rico, here are some stats for you. Over

220
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: his last seven starts he has gone, Blake Snell has

221
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: gone at least six innings over his last seven starts.

222
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: He has struck out ten or more four times in

223
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: those seven starts, and over those seven starts, he has

224
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: given up a total of six earned runs. Blake Snell

225
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: is pitching like a top five sp in baseball. So

226
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: the question is next year, is Blake Snell a top

227
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: ten starting pitcher now that we've seen all the early

228
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: chaos get out or with that early part of the season,

229
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: hold on to you, because I'm saying top five. There

230
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: hasn't been many of any that has been better over

231
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: that seven game stretch than Blake Snell.

232
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: So the rest of the season, Like my next update

233
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: for rankings, which will come out in like a week

234
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: or so, Blake Snell is going to be a top

235
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: five or seven starting pitcher because what he does down

236
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: the stretch second half every year is just stupid. But

237
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 2: when I go to make rankings at the beginning of

238
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: next we also have to factor in what he does

239
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: in the first half every season and how he's literally

240
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: like unplayable for a lot of those first early months.

241
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: So I think he'll probably be like a top twenty

242
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: five starting pitcher. For me, I think this year coming

243
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: into the season, I had him like twenty three, But dude,

244
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: you got to go through so much crap through the

245
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: first half of the season this year last year, it

246
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: does even out to being pretty good. But there is

247
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: a lot of risk associated with Snow. There's a lot

248
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: of injury risk, there's a lot of walk risk. The

249
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: command is if he at best a lot of the

250
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: time he does put it together for stretches during the year,

251
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: but you also have to factor in that half of

252
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: the season where he's awful.

253
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, Man, top twenty five is wild to me,

254
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: like he didn't have a spring training at all. The

255
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: injury stuff you have to consider into it. I don't know.

256
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: I think I think the not properly training, you know,

257
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: into February into March with spring training, had had an

258
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: extra effect on the injuries. I think he kind of

259
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: knows it. There's still, you know, the contractual stuff has

260
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: something to think about. Yeah, he starts off a little

261
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: bit slow and he picks it up, But I don't think.

262
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can look at Blake Snell

263
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: as not a top fifteen guy at this point because

264
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: there were so many things that were stacking on before

265
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, you know, he doesn't go six

266
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: and he's only got these pitches, and yes he does walk,

267
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: and now we see there's like a calculated chaos to

268
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: his walks. And now he's gone six in seven straight games.

269
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: He's striking out like crazy. He's found his rhythm. He's

270
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: found his rhythm as a pitcher. Overall, one a freakin

271
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: ci young And the thing we're holding against is the

272
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: guy didn't do any of the training in the first

273
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: two months, and guess what first two months is kind

274
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: of his spring training. So I don't know, give me

275
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: a discount on Blake Snell. Next year, I'm gonna be

276
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: all in one of the best pitchers in baseball, and

277
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: he's going he is going to carry some people into

278
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: this playoff run because he was got at a you know,

279
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: a cheap ish cost last year, and there might be

280
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people that just absolutely could have been dumped,

281
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: could have been dumped in some spots. I don't know.

282
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: Top twenty five is wild to me. If you wanted

283
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: to say, like fifteen to twenty maybe, I mean, we're

284
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: not gonna go through the list of all the pictures,

285
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: but like the twenty pitchers that you trust consistently more

286
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: than Blake Snell right now. I get the first half thing,

287
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: but I mean, you think you could rattle it off.

288
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: Well, he also at the factor and we're getting some

289
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: pictures back into the pool next year. McClanahan, I think

290
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: is gonna be back. I'm not sure if he'll be

291
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: right from the beginning of the year. Yeah, Rob will

292
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: be healthy, Strider will be healthy. All contra I don't know.

293
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: I think He's the type of guy that I'd rather

294
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: not really pay for on draft day, and then I'll

295
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: just trade for him when he is struggling earlier in

296
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: the season. I think that's more the play with Snell,

297
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: because this year, I guess is a little bit different

298
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: with the whole signing thing. But pretty consistently he does

299
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: struggle out of the gate, and then he figures himself out.

300
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 2: I almost swore there really quickly. Almost he does figure

301
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: himself out pretty quickly, but you do have to eat

302
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: a lot of bad outings. I don't have a problem

303
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: if people want to put him like top fifteen, top twenty.

304
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: I might end up having him there myself, but I

305
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 2: just worry about that first half and then yeah, Otani's

306
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: also be back next year. It's I think I think

307
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: he'll be in the twenty to twenty five range. For me,

308
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: we'll have to see when I actually sit down and

309
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: put everything together. Maybe before I'm on next time, I'll

310
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: do a brief twenty twenty five rankings and we'll talk

311
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: about it.

312
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: Joe almost got pulled. That was the most last start.

313
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: I've done that multiple times where I'm like, remember where

314
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: I am. A couple other notes here do at least Garcia.

315
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: That's been one that I mean, I turned heavy on.

316
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: But he has been good as of recent two run

317
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: Homer Doubled scored the winning run in the tenth as

318
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: the Rangers beat the Twins this weekend, and believe in

319
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: August he's hitting over three hundred. I don't know what

320
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: to make of him. It doesn't really matter right now.

321
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: If he's out there, you've gotten to roll with him.

322
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: Hand up. I was wrong in the I was done,

323
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: but you know why I was done. Three straight months

324
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: of hitting under two hundred, and then all of a

325
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: sudden it just clicked in this last month. So he's

326
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: gonna do the most annoying thing ever. He's gonna be

327
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: really good the last two months, and then we're gonna

328
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: look at an entire season of trash before that. Maybe

329
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: he's a Blake Snell of hitters. I don't know, there's

330
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: that out there. I do want to get your take

331
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: on this, though. Boden Francis held the Cubs to three

332
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: hits over seven innings in a one to zero victory,

333
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: and he is looking more than streamy. So talk to

334
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: me about mister Boden Francis.

335
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: As the Blue Jays guy. I thought that he was

336
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: very mediocre for most of the season. What we saw was,

337
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: you know, a hybrid relievers starter role where he'd go

338
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: three or four innings. He was okay, But the last

339
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: three outings five inning, seven innings, seven innings, two runs,

340
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: one run, zero runs. But the big thing is the

341
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: strikeouts seven, eight and seven. When I think leading up

342
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: to that is high for the year was like five.

343
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: So he has really found a groove in terms of strikeouts.

344
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: He's been really reliable, and I didn't think we'd get

345
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: there at all with him. I'd also want to mention

346
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: that the opponent the last couple of starts the Angels

347
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: in the cub so it's not like crazy crazy difficulty,

348
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: but the one before that, which was also solid, was

349
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: the Orioles. So I think at this point, if you're

350
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: seeing him out there, he's worth picking up and starting

351
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: in those right matchups. I don't know if I'm just saying,

352
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: like Muss roster player, pick him up everyone, but in

353
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: the right matchup, I think he can provide some decent

354
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: value down the stretch.

355
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking, I mean, doesn't really have a dominant with

356
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: pitch under twenty three percent on his really any pitch

357
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: he uses over ten percent of the time gives up

358
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: a really bad barrel rate. Ten percent barrel rate for

359
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: a pitcher is massively worrisome, and I think he's just

360
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: getting away with some stuff right now. Does have a

361
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: little bit of a lower expected ERA, but good streaming

362
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: pitcher right now. Streaming streaming is what you got to

363
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: be looking at. Pistol oh Man, I got to be

364
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Blake Snell. I'm hadrated, baby, I'm ho draded. I got

365
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: something for you guys. This's what I was gonna do

366
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: on Mondays, I think the rest of the way through.

367
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: So this is what I teased at the beginning. Let's

368
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: do some playoff prep. We're gonna go through just a

369
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: couple of closers, some starting pitchers on Tuesday, I didn't

370
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: find any that I love today for streaming and some

371
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: hitting pickups. If you guys want to get the week right,

372
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: whether again you are actually in your playoffs and your

373
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: prep ring or you're just about there on the closer front.

374
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: Four closers with an under twenty five percent combined Yahoo

375
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: ESPN usage hand up. You know what that means to

376
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: other leagues, and they may have been picked up. But

377
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: here are four closers who have been doing some business

378
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: that are widely available. Michael Kopek, who has been getting

379
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: saves for the Dodgers over the last two weeks. He's

380
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: got two saves. Victor Vodnik, who sounds like a variant

381
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: of Doctor Doom. Four saves over the last two weeks.

382
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: It's incredible for a Rockies team. Satadi Domingez he's got three.

383
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: Lucik Ers, Lucas Erseg has two for Kansas City. All

384
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: of these guys wildly under owned a way that you

385
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: can get in on saves. Joe Rico, please order said

386
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: closers for me in order of pickup.

387
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: I think it's Copek at the top right now is

388
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: insane as that feels. He's just found another level as

389
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: a Dodger. That team is able to do some weird

390
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: things with pitchers. Sometimes sometimes they touries as well, but

391
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: usually they are able to revitalize these careers of these

392
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: guys like Copek. I worry about the command, like the

393
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: command is always a thing with him, but you know

394
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 2: the way they're back end of that, Penn has struggled.

395
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 2: I think Copek is going to be in line for

396
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 2: some good opportunities down the stretch. I think he's at

397
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: the top for me, probably ear Seg. I don't know

398
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: if there's a lot of clarity outside of him in

399
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: Kansas City, with the way Hunter Harvey got hurt and

400
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: MacArthur's been pretty bad. I think he's two. Probably Sir

401
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: Anthony Dimingez at three with Kimberl's struggles, and then Victor Vodnick,

402
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: who I don't think is all that reliable being in Colorado,

403
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: but he's actually been a lot better than I expected

404
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: this year. And I want to give a shout out

405
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: to our friend Jesse Severe, who was the first person

406
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: I ever heard mentioned Victor Vodnick earlier this year. He

407
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: was like, you got to keep an eye out for

408
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: this guy. I was like, really, I don't know Colorado,

409
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: he's down the depth chart, but Jesse saw something there,

410
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: So shout out to our mutual friend. But I think

411
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: he's at the bottom of the list here.

412
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: I would probably I think Copek and Sir Anthony Dimingez

413
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: are their own tier. I'd go er Seg is like

414
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: one B, and then Vodnick is down there. Opportunities for

415
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: the Rockies, fuel and far between. I do think Ersik

416
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: has that gig so that one can be exciting. My

417
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: only problem I would have Sir Anthony tom megas number one.

418
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: But it's like I feel that they're going to probably

419
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: do the same thing the Diamondbacks would do with like

420
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: a seawalld like it's only a matter of time. But

421
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm very comfortable with those And by the way, I

422
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: will go out on a limb and tell you I

423
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: think the next save opportunity for the Diamondbacks is going

424
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: to go to Paul Seawald. Justin Martinez once again. Now

425
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: he was twice put into situations that were not closer spots.

426
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: They were tied games and blew two games this past week.

427
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: But Ryan Thompson out Justin Martinez has been shaky and

428
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised they have not given up on

429
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: Paul sea Wald. So if he is sitting out there,

430
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: maybe take a look at him. Two streaming pitchers for

431
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: Tuesday to take a look at maybe last week, you

432
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: know the two start thing, there weren't really a lot

433
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: of great two starts. I didn't see a lot that

434
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: I love. Today, here are two that you might want

435
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: to get in on, and you tell me what you

436
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: think about it? Number one, DJ Hers going up against Colorado. Why.

437
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: I love that. We've seen DJ Hurs put up double

438
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: digit strikeout performances and the Rockies are the worst. They're

439
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: the worst. They swing at everything, starting with Tovar and

440
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: Cody Bradford for the Rangers going up against Pittsburgh four

441
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: and our records so far this year, those two with

442
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: some low ownership across the board here, Either one of

443
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: those you like for an early week streamer and knowing

444
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: your playoff might be on the line.

445
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I like both of them a lot.

446
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: DJ Hurts I've been a big fan of his. When

447
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: he got sent down earlier in the year, I was

448
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 2: kind of surprised he had struggled. But below the surface,

449
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 2: the numbers are really good, so four to twenty five ERA,

450
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: but he is a three forty six expected ERA. His

451
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: ex FIP is three seventy four, his Sierra's three fifty four.

452
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 2: He's been unlucky in terms of the results. He also

453
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 2: was a twenty percent strike up minus walk rate. You

454
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: don't see that very often. That's a pretty elite number.

455
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 2: I know we're talking about twelve starts, but that is

456
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: an excellent number, twenty eight percent strikeout rate, solid command.

457
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: I think it Hurts is a really excellent streamer and

458
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 2: even maybe even like a touch above streaming territory. I

459
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: might just be a little bit biased towards him because

460
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: I really like him, but i'd be rostering him in

461
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: twelve team leagues unless there's a really tricky matchup. And

462
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: Cody Bradford, he started the year off looking so well

463
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: he got hurt. I don't trust him quite as much.

464
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: I don't think there's as much strikeout upside, but the

465
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: command is really good. I think they're both really great options.

466
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: I'd probably prioritize Hurts, especially if you're looking for strikeouts

467
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: though same.

468
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: Seas that's where I would go with that. And then

469
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: finally on some hitters if you're looking for a little

470
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: bit of a boost. Over the last two weeks, Andrew

471
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: bin and Tendee keeps hitting hitting three zero six has

472
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: five homers in that time. David Hamilton is back up

473
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: three point thirty three, two homers, five stolen bases, and

474
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: Parker Meadows is hitting three p forty two best average

475
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: of them all homer and another five stolen bases. So

476
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: some stolen base guys in there. Some homers really really

477
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: low ownership. There's other guys. Jock Peterson might be a

478
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: player that you can take a look at. But those

479
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: are a few of the hottest hitters over the last

480
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: two weeks that have got really low ownership. Is there

481
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: one you would prioritize over the other?

482
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: I think Parker Meadows. I really was a big fan

483
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: of his coming into the season. He's looked really good

484
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 2: since he's come back. I would say Hamilton if his

485
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 2: playing time wasn't so erratic and you wouldn't seehim at

486
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: the bottom of the order. Earlier in the year, he

487
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: looked like the pickup of the season. He was batting

488
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: at the top of the order. He has thirty stolen bases.

489
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: I thought this was going to be a huge year

490
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: for him. If you're really desperate for speed, he might

491
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: be the way I would go. But if you're just

492
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: looking for a well rounded asset off the wire, you're

493
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: just looking for some offensive help all around, I think

494
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: the Parker Meadows would be the way I would go.

495
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: So murky, LOOKI just a couple of little pieces here.

496
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: According to the Miami Harold Marlins are promoting Connor Norby

497
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: from tripa a here on Monday. He's going to get

498
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: his opportunity. I think he's probably a half decent pickup

499
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: compared to I think the actually the Diamondbacks out to

500
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: shoot here, but compared to like those hitters that we

501
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: just talked about, I would put him probably. I don't

502
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: know if I'm that interested in benin Tendi, even though

503
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: he's been hot. I might take a shot on Norby,

504
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: but like he's in the same territory as those guys.

505
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: If they're all available, Norby will probably get to be

506
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: pushed up a little bit in the lineup. He can

507
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: he hit a little bit. He wasn't dominating in Triple

508
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: A since he's been over with the Marlins, but opportunity

509
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: is good, so I would take a look at him.

510
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: And then also just wanted to mention this. We don't

511
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: do a ton of this in the back half of

512
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: the year. Obviously we haven't been doing like the prospect

513
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: looks and stuff. But the Red Sox promoted second basemen

514
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell to Triple A. And just why it's important

515
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: is the Red Sox, you guys don't want to pay

516
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: attention to anything. Have what essentially we're calling the Big

517
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: four in Triple A right now, four absolutely dominant prospects

518
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: were all there, and Christian Campbell to me might be

519
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: the most exciting. Roman Anthony is there who my recent

520
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: I have my prospect ADPs that I do, which is

521
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: creating a prospect ADP. Obviously the P and ADP drafts.

522
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony was a top ten prospect in those. Overall,

523
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: you've got Kyle Teal, Marcela Mayer, and now Christian Campbell.

524
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell has had one of the most ridiculous seasons

525
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: so far. Three point thirty twelve homer or sixteen homers,

526
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: twenty steals between hy A and Double A. He's now

527
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: up there. These are all great Dynasty options. They're not

528
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: options to come up this year, but the beginning of

529
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: next year I would be looking at all of those

530
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: guys and I would rank it. I think I currently

531
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: have it. Roman Anthony, Christian Campbell, Mayor and teel A.

532
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: They're like all together, and some people are talking about

533
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony being the number one overall, but probably the

534
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: best team. They'll remember the Orioles at the beginning of

535
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: the year, where it's like you got the Jackson Holiday

536
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: and you've got kershtat and you've got Mayo. That's what

537
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: this is with the Red Sox. This is that version

538
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: of it. And if they don't break camp, this Red

539
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: Sox team will be that next season. The beginning of

540
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: next season. Three up and three down on the up,

541
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: mister Corbyn Carol two for five, three runs, one homer

542
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: and two RBI. I didn't lead off the show or

543
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: anything with it, Joe, but Corbin Carroll's power output has

544
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: absolutely been immense. Batting average really hasn't gotten there, but

545
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: he has been. He's been dude like again.

546
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 2: Just in time to get that price all back and

547
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: expensive again for twenty twenty five. Man, I think we

548
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: mentioned it. Maybe it was. I think it was you

549
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: and I were talking. Will he maybe get back into

550
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: the first round now? You don't think so? If he

551
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 2: stays hot like this, Nope. Where do you think the

552
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: second round?

553
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it's late second, early third, somewhere in there,

554
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: somewhere in that territory of it. I mean, the power

555
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: outputs really good. Everything else has still been kind of

556
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: black guys like fifty RBI so far in the year. CJ. Abrams,

557
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: a first round pick two for four, had three stolen

558
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: bases this weekend and Franber Valdez six inning, seven strikeout,

559
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: zero earned runs on the down people were bringing up

560
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: in the chat Merle Merril Kelly got lit up them.

561
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: Things were lit five inning, six earned runs, eight hits.

562
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks just looked absolutely atrocious in there. He was throwing

563
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: everything down the middle. Nope, Tyler O'Neill oh for four

564
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: with four ks some railroad time, and Jorge al Kala

565
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: only made it through two thirds of an inning, gave

566
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: up five earned runs and two homers. Absolute garbage. On

567
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: the injury front, another Diamondback piece gets to start off

568
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: each segment. Katel Marte was removed from Sunday's game against

569
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: the Rays after reaggravating his ankle injury. And the worst

570
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: part about this is, I think this is going to

571
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: be a stint. They're gonna have an MRI. But this

572
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: exact same thing happened. They held off for a couple days,

573
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: brought him back in, he reaggravated. I don't see how

574
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: we avoid an il stint. He's been the number one

575
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: second basement in fantasy. The reaggravation tells me everything we

576
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: need to know. Diamondbacks need to keep winning games, so

577
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I guess there's a possibility they

578
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: could just like let him sit for eight days or

579
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: whatever it is. But I think they're gonna be extra

580
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: cautious assuming that the MRI comes back clean. But we

581
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: haven't even seen that yet, Joe, any major massive concerns

582
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: for Marte.

583
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: They might as well. If they're thinking he's going to

584
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: be out for a week or eight days, they might

585
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: as well put him on the IL and get some

586
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: replacements up there. In terms of fantasy, what is it

587
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: going to mean when he comes back, I don't know.

588
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: It's obviously at this time of year, you just there's

589
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 2: so little certainty about anything. If he misses an extra week,

590
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 2: then you're expecting then there's a chance that he becomes

591
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: a drop. If we hear he's going to be out

592
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: for like three weeks or so, what would be that

593
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: line for you with Marte? If we hear he's out

594
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: for a month from today, he's expected back like last

595
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: week is September or two weeks. I don't know if

596
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: they've even been specific about that, but is there a

597
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: line where you'd be willing to drop him right now?

598
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: Well, they're not specific because they don't know. They have

599
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: to do the MRI. They don't know anything yet. Like

600
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, I don't know. I probably don't

601
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: drop him in any scenario unless they say he's out

602
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: for the year, because I would I l him. He

603
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: he prioritizes anybody else you have on the IL. There's

604
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: nobody who else on the IL that is currently hurt Tatis,

605
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, like Tatis might be a drop. What the

606
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: hell's going on with him? I thought it sounded like

607
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: they made it sound like Fernando was going to come

608
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: back after the trade deadline, like we were close to

609
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,239
Speaker 1: coming back after like the All Star Game, right, and

610
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: he is still not going. Other than other than that,

611
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: who else like probably not? So do you have one?

612
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: Well maybe Tucker, but that's another situation for who the

613
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: hell knows was going on.

614
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't even knows where he is. He's missing. It's

615
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: a milk carton. I don't know I read him on

616
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: the IL in any scenario, But I think I don't

617
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: think it's even so much about like what the value

618
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: is at this point. It's just like if they put

619
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 1: him on the IL, you're going to have to go

620
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: and make a move, hopefully not because that's going to

621
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: be pretty devastating, but it looks like that's going to

622
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: be the destination that we're going on the Braves front.

623
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: Brian Snickert told reporters that Austin Riley's going to undergo

624
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: further evaluation after initial X rays were inconclusive. Don't love that,

625
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: Don't love where they it's inconclusive and it doesn't tell

626
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: you a story. I like negative, snicker all So said,

627
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: and confirmed that Raynaldo Lopez will return from the injured

628
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: list to start Tuesday against the Phillies, So he will

629
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: be out there. The Austin Riley stuff though scary. So

630
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean mid August, we might be without Marte, we

631
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: might be without Riley. We also might be without has

632
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: Sung Kim as Mike Schuldt told reporters on Sunday that

633
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: he's going to undergo an MRI exam on his injured

634
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: right shoulder today. So we have got like massive medical

635
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: report to wait on between Kateel Marte, Austin Riley and

636
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: has Sun Kim right now. Absolutely brutal. Also a couple

637
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: others on the Ray's front. Yandy Diaz, he did have

638
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: X rays on his injured forearm. Which came back negative

639
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: for any fractures, which is good news. And then this

640
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: one had been brought up a little bit earlier. Ben

641
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: Charrington told reporters Sunday that Jared Jones is going to

642
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: make at least one more rehab start before joining the

643
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: Pirates rotation. So the question is, are you full full

644
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: go when Jared Jones is off? Are you going to

645
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: start him right out the sho shoot?

646
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: I think probably, do we know we have a rough

647
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: idea of the opponents, because that would probably be the

648
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: deciding factor for me. So they have coming up Rangers,

649
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: Reds and Cubs or the next three series. I think

650
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm starting him.

651
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: It's a Red extent well, because if he's doing one

652
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: more start and then he's going to come back to that,

653
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: it's either who is the last series? You said?

654
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: So Thursday through Sunday they're playing the Reds and then

655
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: they start next week against the Cubs.

656
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: There might be the Cubs. Then it might be like

657
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: the beginning of the series with the Cubs. I'd be

658
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: comfortable with it.

659
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: I think got started either way. Yeah, you're away from

660
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: Great American Ballpark there, so there's no real worry for

661
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: me for either of those teams.

662
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: I would be comfortable with that. All right, friends, you

663
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 1: know what time it is, let's get to some betting.

664
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: It's time full or Monday's best Bets of the Day.

665
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: You come such a stupid segment that we do bets

666
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: o the day. We need to have like a video

667
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: thing next year or something like that. All right, our

668
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: best bets brought to you by bet three six y

669
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: five over on the Betting Pros three of our favorite bets, which,

670
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: by the way, you guys can go and download the

671
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Betting Pros app if you would like. You can download

672
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: and follow some of your favorite betting analysts. You can

673
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: track your own bets. Hell, I have even said it before.

674
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: Something you can do, you know, you have to sync

675
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: up books. If you are getting new into the betting world,

676
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: even this late in the season, you can practice, you

677
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: can put in what bets you would want to do,

678
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: and you can track your own stuff. So it's a

679
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: good way before you even dip your toe into the market,

680
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: as you could just individually track your own bets. But Joe,

681
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: what do you got for your three favorite bets of

682
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: the day.

683
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: I've been going with a lot of plus money stuff recently,

684
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: so today we're going with some more favorites, starting with

685
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: Debbie Matthews under one and a half walks. It is

686
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: juiced to minus one eighty, so it's probably best to

687
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: pair this with something else, but it really does feel

688
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: free considering the command this guy has. He walks seven

689
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: batters over I believe ninety six or ninety seven innings

690
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: in the minors. He just doesn't know how to walk people.

691
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: This first start of the year in the majors is

692
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: his debut five innings with no walks as well, so

693
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: I think it'd be almost impossible to envision him walking

694
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: two batters tonight. So if you want to make that

695
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: one a bit of a better line, to compare it

696
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: with something, maybe you go Twins money line if you're

697
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: feeling a little adventurous there. But this one, this one

698
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: is a pretty safe bet. I think we're going back

699
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: to the well, you know, filling in for Bubba today.

700
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: We had a little bit of switch around, and I'm

701
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: very grateful because that means I get to bet Todje

702
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: Bradley again. Todge Bradley over six and a half strikeouts,

703
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: minus one zero five. He is facing Oakland and Oakland

704
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: even though They're maybe a little bit better offensively than

705
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: we thought. They still strike out quite a bit, one

706
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: of the five or six worst strikeout rates in all

707
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: of baseball. I'm on the record with Todge Bradley. He

708
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: strikes out close to thirty percent of batters, one of

709
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: the better strikeout pitchers in baseball, and he's struggled a

710
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: little bit over these last couple starts. I think he'll

711
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: bounce back today against Oakland, getting us to that seven number.

712
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: We need to hit the over and then the final one.

713
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: It's a total Baltimore and the Mets total of eight

714
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: and a half. I'm taking the over on this one,

715
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 2: and it comes down to the starting pitching matchup. Trevor

716
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: Rodgers and David Peterson. Just don't have a lot of

717
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: confidence in either one of them. Peterson on the surface

718
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: three h four era looks really good, but he's not

719
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: striking guys out. The command is always an issue there.

720
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 2: And Trevor Rodgers, I just don't think is very good

721
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: at all. So I think this one will over that

722
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: eight and a half number. It's at minus one twenty five,

723
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: and those are all of course at bet three six five.

724
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: All Right, my best bets I'm gonna join you in

725
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: something here. I'm gonna go with the Arizona Diamondbacks run

726
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: line minus one and a half. Boy, they shot themselves

727
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: in the foot with that Tampa Bay series, just losing stupid.

728
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean they had to come back every time and

729
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: just couldn't hold it. I think they are going to

730
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: bounce back even without Catel Marte. They're gonna get back

731
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: into action and they are gonna put up some runs today.

732
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: So minus one and a half, right around minus one eighteen,

733
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: you might get it. Minus one fifteen Arizona run line.

734
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm also gonna go with Kansas City on the run

735
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,479
Speaker 1: line minus one and a half, almost exact same odds

736
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: we got Seth Lugo on the mound. Both of these

737
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: are really good matchups. And guess what gonna join you,

738
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: Taj Bradley almost even money. Six and a half strikeouts, Yes, sir,

739
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: because it is Oakland. If this was like a you know,

740
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: with San Diego a Toronto, one of those teams that

741
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: just don't put up big strikeout numbers, I'd say no.

742
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 1: If you gave me a middling team, I'd be very interested.

743
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: If you give me one of the higher strikeout teams

744
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm very interested in, and that is exactly what you're getting.

745
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: So Taj Bradley six and a half strikeouts on the over,

746
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: and I may even get cheeky and find one other

747
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: guy like to pare him to to come down one

748
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: notch as I like to do. But that's what I'll

749
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: go with. Arizona run line, Kansas City run line, Taj

750
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: Bradley's strikeouts, and we got Joe with the ZEBBI Matthews

751
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: under walks, tadje Bradley over strikeouts, and the Baltimore Mets

752
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: total over. There you go, friends, for today's best bets

753
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: of the day. That's right, you're trying to do it

754
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: with me, joe A right, what do you got on

755
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: the home run marker? Oh, we should probably go and

756
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: take a look at the board here. Of course, I'm

757
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: not back on this board. I have no idea where

758
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm at. I don't even know if I got any

759
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: homers this weekend. But Joey p and Wonkee they are

760
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: fighting it out Battle of the Pros with thirty six

761
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: homers tied for fourteenth and fifteenth place over on the

762
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: top of the leaderboard. South African g is starting to

763
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: run away forty six, has a two home run lead

764
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: over be Trot. So right now, South African g can

765
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: see that wonderful Vladimir Guerrero Junior bat just coming straight

766
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: home to him or her. Be Trot forty four. Larry

00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: c has got forty two, El skel At forty two

768
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: and two others with forty, so we got six people

769
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: in the forty range. I am in the thirty something range,

770
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: so not quite there. Someday, some way, maybe I'll get

771
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: on the board before the end of the year. Joe,

772
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: what do you think who a you going with on

773
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: your home run call today?

774
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: Can you imagine how insufferable Joe is going to be

775
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: if he comes back and somehow ends up winning the thing?

776
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: If I mean it's not gonna happen, but yes it would.

777
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: Any anything will be unsufferable with Joe.

778
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 2: So I'm taking Pete Alonso. I'm also leaning into that

779
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 2: Trevor Rodgers again. Alonso has been a lot better as

780
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 2: of late. I think the general feeling about his season

781
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: is that he has been pretty disappointing for where you

782
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: drafted him. But he's up to twenty seven homers. He

783
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 2: said four of them in the last two weeks and

784
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: against Trevor Rodgers. I think that's a really nice matchup

785
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: for him to take one out. So I'm going with

786
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo tonight, little Chalky, Well.

787
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Batman himself. Give me Vladimir

788
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior playing my home run per nine against so

789
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: give me Vladdie Junior to get me on that board

790
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: and get me some homers. Frindos. That's it. Thank you
