Speaker 2: celebrate as you should. Our boy, Spencer Strider is back

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: in the early onset. Actually probably right a couple minutes

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: after we get off here from leading off, where you're

19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 2: going to see Spencer Stryder's debut again Joe Rico's Toronto

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. We got a lot to cover disappointing performances,

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: a lot of injury news out there, and one of

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: the weirdest home runs I think I have seen in

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: quite some time.

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: Joe Rico, how.

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: Excited or not excited are you for Spencer's Strider to

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: slice and dice? Because they did get to the other

27
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: Spencer yesterday? Will they get to two Spencer's.

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 4: I can only hope so for my Blue Jay's sake.

29
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: You know, if this was an evening game, if it

30
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: was like a seven Eastern game, I might have gone

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: to this one, because Lord knows that Blue Jays aren't

32
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 4: selling anything out. I might have been able to get

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: some last minute tickets. But a little bit of Mattine,

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: We're gonna do a lot of shows together today.

35
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 5: Well, so have that one in the background.

36
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 4: And you know, I was thinking about betting his over strikeouts,

37
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 4: but I didn't want to be going too crazy on

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: the first day.

39
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 5: I want to see how he balances out. But it

40
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 5: should be a lot of fun.

41
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, it didn't work out for the other Spencer yesterday,

42
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: and debuts are a little bit tough. But we are

Speaker 2: that here and there.

57
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the hottest.

58
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: Player in all of baseball, and funny enough, this player

59
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: we've been trying to ship somewhere else so we can

60
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: get the hottest minor leaguer in baseball to be Coming up,

61
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: we have got to talk about Tyler Sodastrom, the former

62
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: kind of still ish catcher. Tyler Sodastrom again with a

63
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: pair of homers six runs on tuesday A's beat up

64
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: on the White Sox twelve to three.

65
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: A very very.

66
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: Important thing happened in this though I don't want to

67
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: take away from Sodastrom. But as I have been saying

68
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: kind of at nauseum and maybe even kind of annoyingly,

69
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: is for us to get Nick Kurtz, we need someone

70
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: to go somewhere else. We did see a report yesterday

71
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: about potentially Tyler Soderstrm going and playing some third, which

72
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: I think would be great, good arm, former catcher, But

73
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: the real unlocking of this has been Brent Rooker playing

74
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: in the outfield. Well, guess what, Brent Rooker in left

75
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: field again. That's two outfield appearances since I believe Saturday

76
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: or Sunday.

77
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: That's huge.

78
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz is on the way, but it will not

79
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: be at the expense of Tyler Sodostrum. Let's talk about

80
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: the viability because there is nobody hotter. There's kind of

81
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: a maybe you'll want to feel like you're going to

82
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: sell off of Sodastrum. But he leads baseball in Homer's

83
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: right now. We can talk about his hitting metrics as well,

84
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: But what you take on Tyler Soderstrom right now and

85
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: what he is for you rest of season.

86
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 5: It feels pretty legit.

87
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I know we did some videos talking about

88
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: him as a good late first base power option in

89
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 4: the offseason.

90
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 5: I didn't think it would be this extreme.

91
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 4: But if you look at the power numbers from last

92
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 4: year sixty one game, he did hit nine homers. He

93
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: had a fifteen percent barrel rate, fifty percent hard hit,

94
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: and he's carried that over. I don't think he's going

95
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: to continue at a nineteen percent barrel necessarily, but Tyler

96
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: Soderstrom looks well on his way to a thirty home

97
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: run season.

98
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 5: Here.

99
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: You know, there's people who are talking about like redoing

100
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: first base rankings. Is he a top ten guy? Is

101
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 4: he a top seven or eight guys? He's definitely a

102
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 4: top ten first baseman for me at this point, especially

103
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: considering that ballpark.

104
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 5: The lineup is actually really good.

105
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: Like a Butler, Rookers, Soderstrom, Langaliers, Bladey, you add Kurtz

106
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: in there, It's a pretty decent lineup all things considered.

107
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 4: I think Soderstrom is going to end up as one

108
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 4: of the better deals of draft season.

109
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: I don't think that's even a question at this point.

110
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: I like, what did who just put?

111
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 5: That?

112
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: Was Alwonkee the Big Kurtz or no? No, this is

113
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: well the Big Kurts instead of.

114
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: The Big Hurt. I like that for Nick Kurtz.

115
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: Looking at Soderstrom, by the way, you mentioned his barrel

116
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: rate around twenty percent this year. He's also getting the

117
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: ball in the air a ton more. And you talk

118
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: about being able to take advantage of that minor league ballpark.

119
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: He had a nine and a half degree line. It's

120
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: thirteen and.

121
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: A half this year.

122
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: That's huge launch aangle. He's getting that sweet spot right

123
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: now forty three percent. That's it's shorts ample sized, but

124
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: it's elite. Hard hit rates are through the freakin roof

125
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: on average evs ninety two and a half and a

126
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: secondary like in this the most important thing is like

127
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: get the ball, pull the ball, get the ball in

128
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: the air for a guy like him. But the other

129
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 2: very exciting piece is strikeouts are down eighteen eighteen percent,

130
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: which is huge and speaking of this is taking an advantage.

131
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: I wanted to pull this number up. Last year pulled

132
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: air percentage was only twelve percent. This year twenty five percent.

133
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: Twenty five percent for him. So I ask you this,

134
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 2: Tyler Soderstrom or Tristan Kasis rest.

135
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: Of season, it takes Oderstrom.

136
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: I think I would take Soderstrim at this point, like

137
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: there's just so many improvements across the board. Everything we've

138
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: mentioned already. The swing strike rates down, the oh swing

139
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 4: percentage is down, he's not chasing as much, he's making

140
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 4: more contact in the zone. Everything is positive. So I

141
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 4: think I would have to go with him at this point.

142
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: I think so too.

143
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: What about Jake Berger, who I've talked about is kind

144
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: of a by low. He's still not picking back. I'm

145
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: not sure at this point. I mean, there's definitely a

146
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: from here on out that could change, but I think

147
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: it's Sodastrim as well.

148
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: The hitting profiles ridiculous.

149
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's Soderstrim. I mean, the third base,

150
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: first base eligibility of Burger's nice. The lineup is objectively

151
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 4: better in Texas, but I think Soderstrom.

152
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 5: Has to be the choice at this point. Yeah.

153
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: I'd be curious too if anybody else has got any

154
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: other hooju rathers on on Tyler Soderstrim. Let's play it

155
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: today because it is it is.

156
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 3: Time to celebrate him.

157
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: Eight homers three twenty eight average, four hundred OVP and

158
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: a seven hundred slug right now. They definitely is something

159
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: we want to watch and not get like two over

160
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: zealous about but he doesn't have overinflated Babbitt.

161
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 3: He's got great, great.

162
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: Just barreling and contact numbers, and he's got a ballpark

163
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: that you know, we broke down. It's just no matter

164
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: what it is, if it's the home run factor, the

165
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: actual ballpark factor. Right, he's and left, he's That ballpark

166
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: is just good. It's just an absolute good one real quick.

167
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: Since these are up here, soda Strom or Torque, it's

168
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: soda Strom.

169
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 5: Soda Sum. Yeah, I love, I love Tork. Talk has

170
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 5: been great, but it's Soderstrom.

171
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: Well, talk is also striking out like thirty percent of

172
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: the time, so it's it's not close. Michael Bush, we

173
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: talked about that's a good one, but it is Sodastrum.

174
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: I got this exact question yesterday.

175
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's relatively close all things considered, but

176
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: it's still sodastrom.

177
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: Yandy Diaz or soda Strum.

178
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 5: Yeah. Probably. I really like Yandy, but it's it's probably Soderstrom.

179
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: It's probably Sodastrum. So these are there's some good ones.

180
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: We'll kind of keep rolling and see what we've got.

181
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: It was not a great day man for betting, but

182
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: also Spencer Schwellenbach. He was hit hard in Tuesday's loss

183
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: against the Blue Jays. He gave up six runs, six hits,

184
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: four and two thirds of an inning, a massive blast.

185
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: I think we had a questions yesterday about Anthony Santander.

186
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Anthony Santander took him to space. His ball joined all

187
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: the ladies that went in.

188
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: Space with Jeff Bezos's stuff. That ball was destroyed.

189
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: I was obviously watching that because he was getting a

190
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: little bit shaky. I will say this, and I am

191
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: so sick of the umps, especially for somebody that just

192
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: bets in general. When you have you know, first fives,

193
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: whatever the hell it is, all you're looking for is

194
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: just like get me out of this. And the amount

195
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: of bad calls out. The Strider had a nice pitch

196
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: right on the corner. I think it was on Vlatty

197
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: now that I'm thinking going through it, but it was

198
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: like right on the corner, should have been a strikeout,

199
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: it's a walk, and then Santander just blasted out.

200
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: So I mean that's a little.

201
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: Bit making excuses, but it just kind of opened up

202
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: that whole bag of just how bad the umps have been.

203
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: But Schwellenbach was bad. He looked kind of gassed at

204
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: the end. The Blue Jays are making a lot of contact.

205
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: He wasn't getting any of that swing and miss stuff.

206
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: Talk to me about Schwellenbach. Is there any worries after

207
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: that start, like as in, was the early onset of

208
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: starts to you maybe a little bit miraji or was

209
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: this one just the outlier?

210
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 4: No, I'm more inclined to say this is the outlier.

211
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: Just made a few bad pitches. Like you said, he

212
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 4: got squeezed a little bit. There's nothing I would take

213
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 4: from this other than throw an offer to the Schwellenbach

214
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: owner in your league, just in case there's some early

215
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 4: season jitters. This time of year, people panic all all

216
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 4: over the place. So throw a low ball at the

217
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: Schwellenbock owner and maybe he's a little bit nervous. Toronto's

218
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 4: not a juggernaut team, so maybe they think, Okay, maybe

219
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 4: there's he's getting exposed.

220
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 5: A little bit or whatever. But I'm not worried. I

221
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 5: think he's totally fine.

222
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking here too, Vila was just kind of up

223
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: in general fastball. Yeah, looking in here, this is actually interesting.

224
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: He really threw his I guess i'd have to look

225
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: at his pitch mix his season long pitch mix, because

226
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the game, but he barely threw his splitter.

227
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: That seven percent cutter was down there. I mean, you

228
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: and your curveball. A lot of the strikeout pitches, he

229
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: wasn't throwing a bunch. The slider was his third most used.

230
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: That was only thirty eight percent in the zone and

231
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: it got absolutely no whiffs. Kind of tough here when

232
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: I'm playing hosts and I want to like do these

233
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: dig ins to these players. I'm just gonna do this

234
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: real quick on Schwellenbach on the season. It'll now be

235
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 2: affected by this. Yeah, look at this almost fourteen percent

236
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: splitter on the season, and it was his and he

237
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: uses it as the third most used pitch. It was

238
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: the least used pitch in yesterday's start, and the sinker

239
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 2: the fourth most used pitch. He used the second most yesterday.

240
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: So what I'm getting at is he was he didn't

241
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: have his strikeout stuff. He was throwing that sinker just

242
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: to try to, you know, get out of innings and

243
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: pitch to some bad contact. But he down used the slider,

244
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: the curve, and the split finger. He just didn't have

245
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: it in the zone. So I tend to think that

246
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: that's just a little bit of an anomaly. But I'm

247
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: also a Spencer Schwellenbach homer, and I can't help myself

248
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: with Spencer Swellenbach.

249
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: But we'll move through it, right.

250
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's gonna be okay.

251
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 4: He's still at eleven whiffs, no real drop in velocity

252
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: or anything. I think we just chalk it up to

253
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 4: a rocky start and you put him back in your

254
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 4: lineup next week, no question about it for me.

255
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

256
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: Well, I like the idea of, like off of that start,

257
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: just real quick going and hitting up an owner that

258
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: maybe was like, oh crap, you know, he's a pumpkin,

259
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: and then trying to get something cheap if you can.

260
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: A couple bigger performances. Alex Bregman five for five, had

261
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: a couple solo homers, Red Sox beating on the Rays,

262
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: just kind of getting back to everything. Thought, also, I

263
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: think he's out today on maternity leave. They brought up

264
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: Eric Soguard and I put this on here even though

265
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: the stat isn't crazy many Machado was one for four,

266
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: had a solo homer, But what I wanted to talk

267
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 2: about was that homer if anyone paid attention.

268
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 3: My god, you.

269
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: Had two dropped fly balls that then turned in, So

270
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: pop up over into right field. Kyle Tucker comes in,

271
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: leans down, kind of ducks ball, drops out of his glove.

272
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: All right, egg on our face, let's move on.

273
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: Next.

274
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 2: He pops up to the catcher and third baseman comes in,

275
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: drops the ball at home plate, and then what happens

276
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 2: right after that?

277
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 3: Good, good gone.

278
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: Manny Machado absolutely rips it. Yeah, Unicorn Homer.

279
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: It was incredible.

280
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: It's one of those that you were like, you know,

281
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: this is going to happen right now. But also I

282
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: just want to point out, like, MANA Machado is just

283
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: having like a hell of a season, averages up. Homer's

284
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: are there still, He's stealing bases, just having like an

285
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: absolutely hell of a season right now.

286
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 4: Rico, Yeah, I honestly didn't see the play in question

287
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: last night, but that's just such a classic baseball type

288
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 4: of thing to happen.

289
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 5: You know, it just screams baseball at you.

290
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 4: But Manny was somebody that I was kind of interested

291
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: in coming into the year. I didn't really expect the

292
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 4: walk rate to jump back up the way it has

293
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 4: so far. The WRC plus is at one fifty four.

294
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: It would be the best mark of his career if

295
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: he's able to keep it up. Heart hit rate at

296
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 4: fifty five percent, Like he's been objectively really really good.

297
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 4: And of those third basemen that we're in that like

298
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 4: second third round grouping, Austin Riley's kind of picked it

299
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 4: up recently, but I think Machado might have been the

300
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: best answer out of that group.

301
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I have a lot of I think

302
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: it's in the state of his career where I'm looking

303
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: at Manny Machado and I'm just thinking, like, you know,

304
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame and just where he's going and

305
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: what we're watching. Sometimes I like to kind of reminisce

306
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: and take a step back on players and be like,

307
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: who are the great players that.

308
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: We're looking at?

309
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: You know, like I think the parameters for being a

310
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer feels like it should be. Maybe is

311
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: tougher statistically anymore, And you just kind of see that

312
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: from him, but just a ridiculously crazy. It's one of

313
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: those things that there's so many elements of baseball that

314
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna miss that even when we just you look

315
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: at like stat sheets, if you're not watching from one

316
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: of the worst strike calls of all our ball calls

317
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 2: of all time yesterday. Why the umps are so bad?

318
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: I think someone put it in the chat. It was

319
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: the j t Romuto.

320
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 5: It was literally.

321
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 2: Completely in the zone and it didn't get called to strikeout,

322
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: and then everything turned bad to unicorn homers of foul balls.

323
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: Speaking of over on that Phillies game, Jesus Lozardo five

324
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 2: and one third did give up three runs. It was

325
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: a no decision. Most interesting in this though, and I

326
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: think we know the reason behind it. But Jose Alvarado,

327
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: he pitched in like a three run lead situation in

328
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: the eighth, and I guess they considered it like super

329
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: high leverage and they were concerned and that led to

330
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: Matt Strong coming in the ninth and cleaning up, having

331
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: an absolute cleanup of an inning and picking up the save.

332
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: But also, is Matt Strong maybe the guy that they're

333
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: gonna go to before or is this just one of

334
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: those You know, there's plenty of teams that run out.

335
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: Like three or four.

336
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: Guy the Dodgers do that, like they'll throw out like

337
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: Vesia or something. Is there anything with Matt Strong for you?

338
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: Hoe Alvarado's got the gig. They put him in high

339
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: leverage here, but do you think he's a next up

340
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: type of player that you want to look at.

341
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: They're kind of a hard team to figure out with

342
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: bullpen usage because there's I mean, Ryan Kirkering, if I

343
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: was managing, would probably be the guy getting a lot

344
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 4: of the save opportunities. But Alvarado, they brought him into

345
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: face Ramos Willia, Damas Jung Hu Lee. I think they're

346
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: gonna let him, for the most part, continue with the ninth.

347
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 4: But if there is a situation where you're getting the

348
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: toughest part of the order to up in the eighth,

349
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: maybe they go with him. But if there's one arm

350
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: to own in Philadelphia, I'd say it is probably still Alvarado.

351
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't think that's a question. I think

352
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: Alvarado is still He's the he.

353
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: Got squeezed the little bit, and you know he gave up.

354
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: By the way, I had live bet just to clean

355
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: up my day because it was a bad betting day

356
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: for me, just an idiot, but I live bet to

357
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: save my day, and I had live bet the inning

358
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: prior Philly to one and a half and then they

359
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: got that lead, and then Alvarado started giving it up

360
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: right after, and I was like, let's close this thing down, Jose,

361
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: good lord. A couple pitching performances, Max Freed really strong

362
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: and Tuesdays went over the Royals. He struck out seven

363
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: six and two thirds. Two run ball has been great,

364
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: and Bailey over with a bounce back. He pitched well,

365
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: three runs, five hits over six and one third. Are

366
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: you kind of a I know you are a big

367
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: ober guy you with this bounce back? Is he kind

368
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: of a bye for you right now? I think the

369
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: era is still pretty inflated. Hasn't been good to start, but.

370
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 4: This was, Yeah, he's been a little bit shaky. I

371
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: kind of bounced back and forth on him like I

372
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: was really into him, and then I did that show

373
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 4: with Eno and Nick, and then Eno kind of poppooed

374
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 4: him a little bit and I took my foot off

375
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: the gas. But I think he's still going to be fine,

376
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: and the overall numbers are still going to be inflated

377
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: like they were last year for a while because of

378
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: that first start. But I think we're gonna look at

379
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 4: it probably somewhere in mid June or July and say

380
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 4: if you took out that first start, the era would

381
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 4: be x with the with the bad start.

382
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 5: It's still pretty bad.

383
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: But like even after that huge blow up, Hey, at

384
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 4: the beginning of last year, he still finished with the

385
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 4: sub for e RA. The whip was at one on

386
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 4: the dot, so I'm not really worried. I think he

387
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 4: still falls out of that bi low territory. For those

388
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 4: who are playing with people who maybe don't pay quite

389
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 4: as much attention, They're just gonna look at the surface

390
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: and look at that era and say, I need to

391
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: get this guy the hell off my team. If you're

392
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 4: in a league like that where the ober manager is

393
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 4: still panicking, then I wouldn't hesitate to try and acquire him.

394
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: Let's go to the audience. Let's see some questions of

395
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: what we got going down here. Anthony, is Louise Robert

396
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: and Riley Green? Are they buy lows that cast pages

397
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: look horriboo? Luise Robert, Yeah, everything doesn't look great, but

398
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: he's stealing a bunch of bases. Riley Green always has

399
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: really great hard hit numbers. But I don't know, man,

400
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm actually a little like on Riley Green right now,

401
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: So I think he if I remember correctly, like the

402
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: babup isn't telling us any good story where things are

403
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: going to bounce back. The K's are still there. I'm

404
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: a little indifferent about Riley Green. I kind of think

405
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: Luis Robert is at like an all time low, So

406
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: I'm into that. Are you into buying either one of

407
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: these guys?

408
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: I like buying lou Bob.

409
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 4: You know, even with the kind of slow start we

410
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: talked about this yesterday, double digit barrel rad he's still

411
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: stealing bases. I think he's gonna get traded overall, not

412
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 4: really worried there.

413
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 5: With Riley Green.

414
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 4: It's a little bit different, Like you need him to

415
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 4: really smash in the power and counting stats departments, because

416
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 4: he's not going to give you stolen bases. He might

417
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 4: give you a pretty good batting average, but you need

418
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: kind of thirty plus home runs from him, which he's

419
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: definitely capable of. But that lineup in Detroit is terrible.

420
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 4: It is an awful lineup. Labor Torre is leading off.

421
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 4: I really like Kerry Carpenter, I do like Green and

422
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 4: Spencer Torkelsen, but cold Keith, Dylan Dingler, Zach McKinstry, Bias Sweeney.

423
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: It's a tough group there for counting on him in

424
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 4: terms of the runs and RBI. So I'd prefer to

425
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 4: buy lou Bob. I think the price would probably be

426
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: a little bit lower. People seem to be kind of

427
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 4: out on him in general. Between the two of them,

428
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: I would go with lou Bob. I don't think that

429
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 4: Green is a bad buy. I just I don't have

430
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 4: him as as high of a priority as Loo Bob.

431
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 2: Who do you like better rest of season? From Lee

432
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: Jonathan India or Brooks Lee Brooksley. I think hit his

433
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: first homer yesterday.

434
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 4: It's don in India for me. That second base only

435
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 4: that you're seeing on there as well, Like we talked

436
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 4: about that yesterday as well, that's gonna change. He's already

437
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 4: picking up a ton of appearances, a third and then left.

438
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 4: He's gonna be triple eligible pretty soon, if he's not

439
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 4: already on your on your given site.

440
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with that, all right.

441
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: We have a whole bunch of Kurtzes, by the way,

442
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: so let's do this real quick.

443
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: Thrasher said.

444
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: Curt's only six percent owned on ESPN, but one hundred

445
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: percent on his two teams. I like that, but also

446
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: ESPN lol, all right, so we're gonna plowut through these

447
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: Manzardo or.

448
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 5: Kurtz Manzardo, I think.

449
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: Oh I forgot.

450
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a Kurtz one and we got the

451
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: soda Strom ones in here. I would go with Kurts

452
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: as well. All right, so now here's our soda strom ones.

453
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: These are all these are all putting us to test

454
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: here game soda Strom or Vientos Man, you know, And no, I'm.

455
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 5: Gonna say probably Viano's still.

456
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 4: I know that's probably of an already take at this point,

457
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: but give me that guy in that lineup who can

458
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: still drive in a hundred plus. I'm filling it for

459
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 4: joeyp in more ways than one today.

460
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, you one hundred percent are about to say a

461
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 3: piece of pa was here. We know exactly what this

462
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: would be. I am.

463
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be recentcy. I'm gonna say sodas strum on

464
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: that one. I'm not, but I'm not a big.

465
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: I'm not a big Vento's guy right now, Goldie or

466
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 3: soda strum.

467
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 4: Man the soda strim questions. The more that we get,

468
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: the more I realize how much I like him. I

469
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 4: think it's probably Soderstrom Goldschmid has been pretty decent to

470
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: start the year. I mean, he's batt in three point fifty.

471
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 4: But I think it's Soderstrom.

472
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 3: I think it's Soda Strim as well. All Right, this one.

473
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: I'm not going to go to sodastrm on this one.

474
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: And it's not a Homer take. But you tell me

475
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: Josh Naylor or Soda Strom.

476
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 5: No, it's Naylor. We need to draw the line somewhere.

477
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 2: Okay, we drew the line, so there you go. We're

478
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: definitely like in on on what Soda Strim is doing

479
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: for the most part. Maybe me a tiny bit more,

480
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: but not over a guy like Josh Naylor. So that's

481
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: where the lines are a little rookie. Lookie here, Logan

482
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: Henderson is getting the call by the Brewers. We've been

483
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 2: talking about this for a little bit, just waiting to

484
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: get him up.

485
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 3: A couple of people had asked some questions.

486
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 2: I think it was yeah, right here, trill, what's your

487
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 2: take on Logan Henderson getting the call and need one

488
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 2: more pitching streamer this week? Is he worth an ad

489
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: head to head points twelve team? I kind of think

490
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: he is. He definitely builds off of a lot of command.

491
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna get some early swing and misses.

492
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: The problem is is, like, you know, he's going to

493
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: pitch around in the zone a decent amount, so you know,

494
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 2: pinning that matchup, there could be a little bit of

495
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: home runs going. But I think he can go deeper

496
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: into game. In a points league, I'm even a little

497
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: bit more likely to do it because I don't think

498
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: he's gonna get absolutely blown up. And I'm not chasing

499
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: like a quality start or anything like that. I'm just,

500
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: you know cha, I'm just chasing the stats every single inning,

501
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: So I think I would.

502
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 3: What about you and Logan Henderson?

503
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: Again, I'm not like a huge minor league guy, but

504
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 4: like you mentioned, the home runs have kind of been

505
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 4: pretty prevalent for him, especially last season across the miners

506
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 4: one point four homer for nine. But I think that

507
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 4: he's pretty solid. I'm always a little bit nervous about

508
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 4: starting a guy in their first career outing. I would

509
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 4: prefer to go a different route depending on what's on

510
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: the wire, but it's not a horrible idea. I just

511
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 4: tend to generally just fade guys making their debut this.

512
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: Is well, I'm gonna this isn't the question this person

513
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: is doing. But Til though says Kumar was just dropped

514
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: in a twelve team dynasty, points like should I chase

515
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: upside and speculatively add I'd say yeah in the dynasty

516
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: pinning what the drop is, Yeah, maybe, but who would

517
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: you rather for this season and redraft right now?

518
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 3: Kumar or Logan Henderson.

519
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 4: Probably take the chance on Henderson. Rocker just hasn't really

520
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: looked good. That start against Seattle was kind of the

521
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: nail on the coffin for me.

522
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I will.

523
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: Say I don't think Logan Henderson is as solidified anything.

524
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: He's probably gonna go back down to the miners because

525
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: you've got Myers who's about to come back in woodrift.

526
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 3: But Kumar is not really doing anything for anybody.

527
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: A little bit more in the rookie lookie, we had

528
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 2: had this hopeful, optimistic speculative since with Zebi Matthews. It was, Oh,

529
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: David Festa is going to come up, but guess what

530
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: on Monday, there's an open spot. Nope, David fest is

531
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: pitching today. Zebe is still down in the minors, but

532
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: in his last start had seven strikeouts, one run, five

533
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 2: innings in a Triple A start. In his fastball, he

534
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: kind of tapered it down to start and then he

535
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: was pumping like ninety eight I think close to ninety nine.

536
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: Zebi looks really good if he gets an opportunity. I mean,

537
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: if Festa gets blown up at all today, I think

538
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: we could see Zebi soon. Jordan Walker one for four

539
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: solo home run in Triple A over with Reno on Tuesday.

540
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: He's now hitting two ninety two with a three ninety

541
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 2: five OBP and a five twenty three slug so almost

542
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: a three four five sixteen games so far this season,

543
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: three homers, twelve RBI, four steals. I think the speculation is, oh, hey,

544
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: Kateel could miss time. I am told that kuld Tell

545
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: will be back for the next home.

546
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: Series that is next week.

547
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: Could Tell I was at the Diamondbacks facility yesterday. He

548
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: was working out. He was on the side field working

549
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: you in his stuff. Didn't stay for any games. Could

550
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 2: be in a game this weekend and then is going

551
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: to stay here and then Tuesday. So look for Kotel

552
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: Marte to be coming up Tuesday. But I don't think

553
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: he is going to be the reason that Jordan Walker

554
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: is gonna come up. Jordan Walker's playing second base right now.

555
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: I wonder if they keep moving him around. But he

556
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: is hot, hot, hot right now. And if he does

557
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: come up, he's someone we're gonna want to look at.

558
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: And then finally on the rookie lookies, Matt Shaw. Matt

559
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: Shaw has been demoted. We salute you, Jordan Lawler, I said,

560
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: Jordan Walker. We salute you and say goodbye. Is there

561
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: any worth for you to hold on to Matt Shaw

562
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: while he tries to figure this out?

563
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 5: Not in redraft leagues?

564
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 4: No, Like he's a solid hold in Dynasty, of course,

565
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 4: but Redraft now you move on well, And that.

566
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: Is the reason that is going to take us to

567
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: this week's Microsoft Challenge. Chasing challenges brought to you by Microsoft.

568

Speaker 2: Whatever challenge you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the expertise

573
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: to say bring it on. And in this segment, we

574
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: spotlight the challenge faced by Matt Shaw because Matt Shaw

575
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 2: was overmatched. Unfortunately in his debut, even though we saw

576
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 2: him hit high in the lineup in the Japan series,

577
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: he went all the way down to nine, could not

578
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: find consistent contact on a team that desperately needs to win.

579
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 3: But this story has been.

580
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: Told over years and years. We see it all the time.

581
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: A top prospect comes up, he doesn't do great in

582
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: his debut, he's sent down, and then people say he's done,

583
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: he's cooked, but he's not, and they are not. We

584
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 2: saw Mike Trout go through this. We've seen countless prospects

585
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: just take time. Hunter Green had gone through this, whether

586
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: whether it's pitching or hitting. So do we want to

587
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: hold on to match on fantasy right now?

588
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 5: No?

589
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 3: I think he is expended, but we need to keep a.

590
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: Close eye on because just because he was sent to

591
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: the miners doesn't mean that his fantasy season is going

592
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: to be completely done. Let's see if he can check

593
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: a few boxes in the miners and maybe he'll be

594
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: back up in May, because they're probably still going to

595
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: need him unless they make some big moves. That, my friends,

603
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 6: today's guest is Rough around the Edges. Please welcome Crust.

604
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me today's topic. He's round with soft

605
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 6: pillowy bread hey filled with delicious pbnjy, are you talking

606
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 6: about yourself? And you can take him anywhere?

607
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: Why do you invite?

608
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 3: And we are out of time?

609
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 6: Are you really cutting me off on.

610
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 3: Crestables are the best part of the sandwich? Sorry, Crust,

611
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: there we go.

612
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: That's always a joey thing. So I was able to

613
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: We're able to get through that with a little bit

614
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: of challenges.

615
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: That was fun.

616
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's go do some three up and three down,

617
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 2: three up. Dylan Moore three for five, two homers against

618
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: the Red, stepping in the Red, stepping in for Victor

619
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: Roebliss a bunch. Alan Roden hit his first career homer

620
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 2: off of Spencer Schwellenbach and Tyler Molly six shutout innings

621
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 2: versus the Angels picked up nine strikeouts.

622
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 5: In the win.

623
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 2: It is just lally man to me because they had

624
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: originally put Patrick Corbin in as the starter for that

625
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: and I was betting against it, and then Molly comes

626
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: in and they shut that thing down. Dude, Tyler Molly

627
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 2: looked really good against that Angels team.

628
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, on short notice.

629
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 4: I mean the different sites, there were some of them

630
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 4: that had Corbyn going, there were some of them that

631
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 4: had Molly going. It looks like the kind of had

632
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 4: to fill in for some reason.

633
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 5: They did a swap.

634
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 3: But Corbyn's today.

635
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tyler Molly through nineteen innings as a sub one

636
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: era a point eight six whip.

637
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 5: Is that going to continue?

638
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: No?

639
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: I would say that probably not going to get a

640
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 5: hell of a lot for him, But package him up

641
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 5: and see what you can get for him after your

642
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 5: daylight today. For me, personally, I just don't buy it

643
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 5: in the long run.

644
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: If Logan Henderson was out there and you had to

645
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: drop Tyler Molly, would you do it?

646
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 5: God, I'd probably take a chance on Henderson.

647
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 4: Yeah. I Just with a guy like Molly who's been

648
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 4: around for so long, we know who he is, right,

649
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 4: unless he's making drastic changes this year, which I'm not

650
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 4: really seeing. He's still walking a lot of batters. He

651
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 4: has a really low babbit high strand rate. I think

652
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 4: it's just been a lucky couple starts for him. I

653
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 4: would kind of try and take advantage of that in

654
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 4: the trade market if you can. You're not going to

655
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 4: get a king's ransom for him. But you know, as

656
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: a package with another guy could do something.

657
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that.

658
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: I would not drop Molly to pick up Logan Henderson.

659
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: And I guess I always kind of come back to

660
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: the same thing and prove me wrong, show me and

661
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 2: I'll jump on it. But there's so many guys that

662
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: we just we sit on these shows and just are like,

663
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: we should trade this guy, we should trade this guy.

664
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: And it's like, who in God's name is buying Tyler

665
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: Molly that is worth moving off of him? Like what

666
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: if Tyler becomes a nine K per nine guy on

667
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: a Rangers team that picks up their offense and there's

668
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: tons of wins support it's not a great ballpark, But

669
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: what if he's a what if he's an under four

670
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: era pitcher for the rest of the year, picks up

671
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 2: eleven wins. It's like, was it worth trading him when

672
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 2: no one believes? So that's Kiren Parris to him. I

673
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: just I struggle with guys like this. But the context

674
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 2: of what you're saying, I totally understand. You're like, hey,

675
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: this is not gonna last. I don't really buy into it.

676
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: Move off of him. I don't know what that looks

677
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: like outside of maybe like a two person trade like

678
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: you were saying, Yeah.

679
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 4: Like Kien Paris and Tyler Molly for I don't know,

680
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 4: pick any top one hundred player who's been struggling so

681
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: far and maybe it gets it done. Probably not, but

682
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 4: we see see crazy stuff come across the inbox every day.

683
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 5: You never know, no harm in trying, right, Yeah.

684
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: No, you're one hundred percent right about that. There's no

685
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: harm in trying. And uh, you know, you look at

686
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: the YouTube comments, You're going to see people that are

687
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: able to pull some crazy trades together. So maybe you

688
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: can put him out there and see who's overreacting.

689
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 3: On the down.

690
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: Are we overreacting? I don't know, but Joe and I

691
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: just did the trade video about a day and a

692
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: half or a day ago, and one of the highlighted

693
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: players we were trying to get out from was Luis Castillo,

694
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 2: and Luis Castillo was tagged for six runs and four

695
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: and one third innings by the Reds. On Tuesday, we

696
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: also saw Sean Burke give up five against the A's

697
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: not so great and then making his season debut after

698
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: returning from the IL. Alexis Diaz with the Reds was

699
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: pulled mid inning after walking two of four batters that

700
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: he faced in the game against the Mariners. There so

701
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: not a great return, especially with Francona kind of like,

702
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: you know, jumping around to closers and potential, you know,

703
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: Emilio Pagan. I'm not sure that really bodes super well.

704
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: But you want to add anything on the Lais Castillo

705
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: thing because you and I were and you can go

706
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: to Diaz as well, but you and I were really

707
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: hyper focused on Castillo as kind of a trade and

708
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 2: things were not great yesterday.

709
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm totally into trading Castillo. It might be a

710
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 4: little bit harder after today. When we were talking yesterday,

711
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 4: his ERA for the season was like two point one

712
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: and now it's at four point two two, So that

713
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 4: might have been very short for you. Maybe you can

714
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 4: still do something to move off of him. But go

715
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 4: check out the trade video on the channel from yesterday, kind.

716
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 5: Of laid it all out.

717
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 4: The stuff and fastball velocity declining in each of the

718
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 4: last four seasons as he enters into his mid thirties.

719
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 5: Just kind of a bad recipe.

720
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 4: And also with Seattle, you trust them for the home starts,

721
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 4: but then you see what happens when they're away from Seattle.

722
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 5: It's a big risk.

723
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 4: Not just for Castillo, but all of their pitchers have

724
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 4: kind of extreme home and a waste splits. But for

725
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 4: a guy like Castillo when there's the other concerns, that's

726
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 4: not good. But for the Reds, Alexis Diaz is probably

727
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 4: a drop. I think, like Terry Francona, wasn't the one

728
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: who christened him the closer, He wasn't his closer. For

729
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 4: these past several years. He seems to like Pegan. Pegan

730
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 4: has been getting the saves consistently. We see Das continue

731
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: to struggle dealing with an early season injury. Maybe he

732
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 4: gets back into that role at some point, but I

733
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 4: think Diaz is the third or fourth best reliever on

734
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 4: this team. Tony Santian is probably better at this point.

735
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 4: Pegan has been doing well. Holding Diaz is gonna be tricky.

736
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: I think I can't do it.

737
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: I can't cut Diez off of his return from the

738
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: IL and one bad outing because he has been the closer.

739
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 2: I think that's way too preemptive. I think you need

740
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: to wait and see what does the next outing look like.

741
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be a save situation. I think

742
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: you need a tiny bit of time before you go

743
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: and make a drastic move off of him. But I

744
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: understand Francona, he might be done. We just don't have

745
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: any big actual word on that. I'd also say when

746
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: you were talking about, you know, the comments section going

747
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: in and talking about Luis Castillo or Alexis Diaz or

748
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: whatever it is that we've been talking about on the

Speaker 2: Nico Horner signed jersey courtesy of US I think Priscine

763
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: auction as well. The Nico Horner putting them putting them

764
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: cubs up and o'kali probably hurts for that. When Nico

765
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 2: Horner got that run, I think it was in the

766
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: tenth or ninth or whatever it was, but Nico Horner

767
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: getting some of it done. Let's hit Let's hit a

768
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 2: few questions in here. You guys have been stacking that up.

769
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: Let's go right here. Thoughts on Jonathan Aranda. Jonathan Ronda

770
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: has been hitting four for the Reds. Are you a

771
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: by on Ronda right now?

772
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 5: Yeah? I'm kind of a by on him.

773
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: The only problem is that there's been so many breakouts

774
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 4: that are all first baseman this year. Soderstrom tarkles, it's

775
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 4: hard for dhs. Yeah, first base slash DH Manzardo's kind

776
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 4: of cooled off, but there's been so many first base

777
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 4: pickups that it does get a little bit hard to

778
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 4: pick up all of them and start all of them.

779
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 4: A lot of leagues don't even have those corner infield spots,

780
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 4: so it's just like a guy sent me a question yesterday.

781
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 4: He has Schwarber, Harper, and Soderstrom and just the first

782
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 4: base in DH spot, so he's sitting one of them

783
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 4: every single day. In the shallow leagues, it does get

784
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 4: very hard. But Miranda, I think, I think his first

785
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 4: in Major League baseball at WRC plus three homers, he's

786
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 4: batt in four thirteen twenty one on the barrel, sixty

787
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 4: two hard hit. The numbers are stupid, they're unsustainable to

788
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 4: this degree, but last year nearly a seventeen percent barrel rate,

789
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 4: forty seven on the hard hit.

790
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 5: The ballpark is great. I love him. It's hard to

791
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 5: figure out.

792
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 4: The priority for these first basemen, but like, would you

793
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 4: take him over?

794
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: So Tostrom, absolutely not.

795
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: I don't like Ronda as much as you have good

796
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: contact skills and he's being putting. Sometimes you just get

797
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: these dudes that just make the contact and you put

798
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 2: them at four and then all of a sudden, they're

799
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 2: just good. Things are gonna happen. I'm just not sure

800
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: he's ever going to be a massive counting stat guy.

801
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 2: I am a firm sodastrom over Aroanda.

802
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 3: But you know, maybe he might.

803
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: He might have a really great shot at staying in

804
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 2: that spot all season, though.

805
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 5: I think I'm still so strom over Aranda. I just

806
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 5: wanted to figure out where you were on that one.

807
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: Sure, Lisa, will Dylan Cruz get sent down? You think

808
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 2: they're gonna send Cruise down.

809
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: It's definitely possible. He's not really looked that great dealing bases.

810
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 4: He has what is it, four stolen bases so far,

811
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 4: but he's patting a buck twenty thirty five percent strikeout right.

812
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 5: His WRC plus this is minus thirteen. It's just really bad.

813
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 4: He might he might end up going down at some point.

814
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 4: I wouldn't drop him just yet, but there's a chance.

815
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: There was one more I wanted to hit in this

816
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: little section. I just went away from it. Thoughts on

817
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 2: Cameron Meisner. So we're going to be doing the Waiver

818
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: Wire video that's going to be coming out tomorrow, and

819
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 2: I can I'm gonna just preview to tell you that

820
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about Cameron Meisner. I'm very much

821
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 2: in on Meisner, and the Rays have got a bunch

822
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: of sneak They're just sneaky guys. And which of those

823
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 2: guys are going to stick around you Like Aronda, you

824
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: got Mangum that's up there stealing bases. I'm very much

825
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: in to Cameron Meisner right now. Ten percent barrel rate,

826
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 2: fifty one percent hard hit. He's not striking out, consistently

827
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: hitting the ball. Frankly, you know what, the profile kind

828
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 2: of looks like, kind of looks like a SODASTRM right now.

829
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 2: I mean slow strikeout rate, walking some crazy good hit tool.

830
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 2: He's striking the ball really hard. He's hitting almost four

831
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: hundred with three homers. I think my end Meiser's being

832
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 2: put in some good RBI opportunities. I think Meisner is

833
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: a definite pick up right now.

834
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 4: What's say you, Yeah, I think the cheap comp But

835
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 4: the one that actually does make sense kind of.

836
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 5: Is Josh Lowe.

837
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 4: You know, decent power, really good speed, he pulls the

838
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 4: ball up, he strikes out. He is the replacement essentially,

839
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 4: so it's a little bit of an obvious one, but

840
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 4: he's put up some really good minor league seasons in

841
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, it was seventeen homers and thirty steals.

842
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty three it was twenty one homers twenty one steals.

843
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 4: The strikeouts are usually a bit of a concern. Wouldn't

844
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 4: expect the sixteen percent strikeout right to last like at all,

845
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 4: He's probably going to be above thirty percent. But while

846
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 4: he's doing what he's doing, he's definitely worth picking up

847
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 4: in the upshot. Is a fifteen to fifteen season from

848
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: him potentially, if not even.

849
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I really I really like Meiser right now,

850
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 2: I'm picking him up for sure. Let's talk about some injuries.

851
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: There are a bunch of things. Let's burn through these.

852
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: Carlos Korea had to leave Tuesday after injuring his wrist

853
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: on a swing.

854
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 3: Considered day to day.

855
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 2: He's out of the lineup today as his Mount Walner,

856
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 2: so they're a little bit light, with David Festa Orioles

857
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: hopeful that Efflyn is out weeks instead of months. We

858
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 2: also had Grace Rodriguez with no timetable, still a lot ahead,

859
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: which is a really bad sign for him coming back

860
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: anytime soon. And Kyle Bradish is moving along really well

861
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 2: in his rehab from Tommy John hoping to return later

862
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 2: in this summer, So they've got an arsenal of pitchers

863
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: they need to come back. They have almost nobody right now,

864
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: Go make a trade, please? Why at Langford could be

865
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: activated as soon as this weekend recovering from that oblique injury.

866
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: Absolutely huge for all of us in fantasy and just

867
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: a good boost to that Rangers team. I'd love to

868
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: have a really good contact hitter at the middle of

869
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 2: the lineup after Corey Seeger because then you've got, you know,

870
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: Jock who's struggling, one of the lowest babtists in baseball.

871
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 3: Behind Josh Young Berger. All these guys are struggling.

872
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: It's like it's a struggle sandwich is Corey Seger in

873
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: the middle of like Simeon who's at the front, he's

874
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: one bun he's struggling, and then all these other big

875
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: power hitters.

876
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 3: So we need Langford to come back big, big time.

877
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's anything to say in here,

878
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: but like, I want the Rangers to kick back. I

879
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 2: thought these guys are going to be crazy, and it's

880
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 2: just everybody is struggling outside of like Josh Young and Seeger.

881
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 4: Right now, Yeah, I called them the best offense in

882
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 4: the American League before the season. It doesn't feel very

883
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 4: smart at this point. I think we're going to get

884
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 4: there eventually, and getting Langford back should do wonders for them.

885
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 5: He looked very good before he went down.

886
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 4: I worry a little bit with the oblique because wasn't

887
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 4: there something in spring as well? Like I hope this

888
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 4: doesn't become a recurring thing for him, But it's good

889
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: that he should be back this weekend.

890
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 2: Oh, obliques in general, obliques in general, it's Scarry Jackson

891
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 2: Merril slowly ramping up.

892
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: He did some VP and bunting drills. He's still not running.

893
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: He's not going to come off the IL when he

894
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 2: is first eligible, so mark your fantasy calendars for that.

895
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: Zach Netto could be activated. I think I'm saying as

896
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 2: soon as tomorrow. I saw something saying this weekend. But

897
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 2: like he's been at Triple A. I think he had

898
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: another homer. He's got four homers in twelve rehab games

899
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 2: with Triple A. Salt Lake doesn't need to be there anymore.

900
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: It's any day and Friend of the Show DJ hers

901
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 2: he's undergoing Tommy John surgery. I think that is really

902
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 2: friends of the show are not want to be friends of.

903
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,959
Speaker 5: The show, right, We're gonna stay away from us.

904
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, all right.

905
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 2: It doesn't deserve the song because it was a bad

906
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: betting day, so we're not gonna joyfully sing it's the

907
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 2: best bets that No, it's the best bets of the day.

908
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: Let's get serious. We're talking bets here, Joe Rico. It's

909
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 2: an interesting slate today. There's a bunch of early games.

910
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: I kind of moved away from the early games. You are,

911
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 2: you're back on the heavy player prop. So what do

912
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: you got today?

913
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm targeting some total bass overs. There's one safer bet.

914
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 4: We're gonna get to it in a little bit, but

915
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 4: the total basis, I'm going with Lawrence Butler over one

916
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 4: and a half at plus one thirty, I don't really

917
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 4: understand it. Going up against Jonathan Cannon and the White Sox.

918
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 4: This feels like a pretty easy opportunity.

919
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 5: To make some money.

920
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 4: And then Jose Ramirez plus one twenty over one and

921
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 4: a half total bases going up against Dean Kramer. It

922
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 4: just feels like these lines are a little odd. I

923
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 4: would have thought maybe you'd see a you know, point

924
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 4: five bases at a bit of a juiced line for

925
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 4: both of these guys. But I'll take the one and

926
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 4: a half at plus one twenty and then this one

927
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 4: is minus one seventy five. So in terms of the value,

928
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 4: it's not great, but it just feels like a really

929
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 4: weird number. Max Meyer over three and a half strikeouts.

930
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 4: He's facing the Diamondbacks, but I'm striking out less than

931
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 4: any team in baseball at the moment.

932
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 5: That being said, three and a.

933
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 4: Half still feels really easy for a guy like Max Meyer,

934
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,959
Speaker 4: who's a twenty five percent roughly twenty five percent strikeout.

935
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 5: Rate guy to achieve.

936
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 4: He's been doing well so far this season. If you

937
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 4: think it's a little bit too juice, you can maybe

938
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 4: pair one of those together and get that number down.

939
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 4: You probably get plus three hundred or so if you

940
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 4: throw those in a parlay. But Lawrence Butler, Jose Ramirez

941
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 4: over on the basis and then Max Meyer over on

942
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 4: three and a half strikeouts.

943
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: I'm I think you're mentioning the Angels one of those.

944
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: I'm tailing some first fives today, just you know, an

945
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: all transparency bad day for me yesterday, not even like

946
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 2: like I'll say many times. You know, sometimes the process

947
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 2: is really great and then blah, now it wasn't good yesterday.

948
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 2: It kind of a blow up there my life betting

949
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: did save me, so again that's kind of the plug

950
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 2: to betting pros on the app that picked me up

951
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 2: pretty big the day.

952
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 3: So I'm going with a couple first fives right now.

953
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: I don't really love any of the player props as

954
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: far as the pitching market goes. I don't play a

955
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 2: whole lot of total based stuff in general. But I'm

956
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: gonna be tailing Bryce Miller on the first five money

957
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: line minus won ten, so we're looking for obviously the win,

958
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: but a push can save us. And backing Jose Soriano

959
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: through the first five minus one forty that one's juiced

960
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 2: up a little bit, but he has just been a monster.

961
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: So first fives in Seattle and the Angels for me for.

962
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 3: Those best bets of the day where we can earn

963
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 3: back the song that probably no one really even wants

964
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 3: us to do.

965
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the home run board. There

966
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: were no homers yesterday, I think for absolutely anybody. Maybe

967
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: a couple, but I don't see much movement. I think

968
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: me and Wonkey were seven and eight yesterday, we're both

969
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 2: sitting at eight. We've got a Ferret and Marty both

970
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: at eleven at the top. We got a couple tens

971
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: in there, Razor Ramone, we got the people. It is

972
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 2: still very very obtainable. If you guys get an Amazon

973
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: Prime Twitch connection. If you can connect those two bad boys,

974
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: you can get in on the home run contest, or

975
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 2: you can be a part of the premium discord. You

976
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: can do that as well, and you can win that

977
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 2: Sammy Sosa Jersey autograph. Samy so said Jersey to the

978
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: winner of the home run contest. So not a lot

979
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 2: of movement. So that means there are some people to catch.

980
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 2: Joe who and how are you catching? Who's your home

981
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: run call for today?

982
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 4: Well, we wanted to target him yesterday. We're gonna target

983
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 4: him today because of that switch in the pitching matchup

984
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,919
Speaker 4: was Patrick Corbin going up against the Angels. I'm taking

985
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 4: Jorge Celearra to hit a home run plus two seventy

986
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 4: on the various books. If you're looking to bet that one,

987
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 4: it's Patrick Corbyn. Whether you're betting the home runs individually,

988
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: the over earned runs, the over hits, you know the

989
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 4: Angels team total Angel's money line. Bet against Patrick Corbin.

990
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 4: Make yourself some free money today?

991
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 3: What did I call it? You're picking on me? What

992
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: did I say? It's a sub subscription? What did I say?

993
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 5: They say? I don't know, let me know.

994
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: What I said?

995
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 5: Call? Is that? So Mayor messing with you? Oh it's

996
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 5: not Mayor. I don't know.

997
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 3: I don't know what I said.

998
00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: I said something stupid shock welshism. So yesterday, dummy, I

999
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 2: saw that Patrick Corbin was on the slate, I bet

1000
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: against it. I went with Mike Trout and then apparently

1001
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: I looked at the wrong place. I got screwed or

1002
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: just screwed myself and it went against me.

1003
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 3: Tyler Molly was amazing.

1004
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: But I see Patrick Corbin is back, So I am

1005
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 2: going right back to Mike Trout. That was my whole

1006
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 2: dig was Mike Trout versus Patrick Corbin. So I am

1007
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: back on Mike Trout today, going up Patrick Corbin. Bang,

1008
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: we're not going to go over runs, but you and

1009
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: I both attacking him. So he is assuredly going to

1010
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: go six and strike out nine and he'll be at

1011
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 2: Tyler Molly again.

1012
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 3: But you guys can be a part of it.
