Casey 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: sounds weird calling I call you Bubb. I don't know why. 18 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: It's actually very similar to when someone they someone was 19 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: doing this the other day and they were saying Chris, 20 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: and everyone was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA What are 21 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: we talking about? Don't say Chris. That sounds weird and 22 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm my mother, is you know, getting 23 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: mad at me saying the full name or whatever? But 24 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: were you a part of yesterday's big barrage of it 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: was kind of an awakening for some reason where everyone 26 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: was like, whoa, Jackson Cheerio is really good? And I 27 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: was chatting with somebody via text about the irony and 28 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: how hilarious it is, but how it's all rooted in 29 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: this hatred that had happened for rookies. Because everybody was 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: very excited because people like me and stuff. Hey, you 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: know Jackson Churio, Jackson Holiday. The failure set so many 32 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: people up to do the thing that they always do. Oh, 33 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: these guys are garbage, they'll never work out, blah blah blah. 34 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, everybody is presented with 35 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: this greatness greatness and air quotes or whatever. But Jackson 36 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: Holliday has been absolutely dominant, Jackson Merrill has been one 37 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: of the most valuable players this year, and Jackson Cheerio 38 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: has been an absolute freak. He went three for five yesterday, 39 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: two home hitting three fifteen in June, three seventeen in July. 40 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: Are you on the bandwagon? That Jackson Churio is a beast. 41 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I've been talking about it on my 42 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: shows for a couple of weeks now at different shows. 43 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: I do just because the dudes was hitting two a 44 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: seven to start July. He's hitting two seventy seven on Friday. 45 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. He's sitting over four hundred over the last 46 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: two weeks. It's amazing what you know, a little time 47 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: and you know going through struggles a young player can do. 48 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: You mentioned Jackson holiday. We talked about him on Monday. 49 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: Jackson Merril Turio' is awesome. One of the big conversation 50 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: points I've been having with my co host Ryan Bloomfield 51 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: is where does he go in draft next year? Is 52 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: this a top hundred pick? I think it is. This 53 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: is a legit, you know, twenty five twenty five guy. 54 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 2: I think he's got five homers and five steals the 55 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: last two weeks. He's a beast like I like him 56 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: a lot, so I am on board with you. It 57 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: is fun. Like you said, to see the quote unquote 58 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: Twitter verse just all of a sudden start to acknowledg 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: him and everyone tweets about him at the same time. 60 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean and something like sure we can, we 61 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: can figure this out next year. Do we need to 62 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: speak more about the ups and downs? I feel like 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: we try to. We try to have these up explain like, hey, 64 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: by the way, these guys can you know, kind of 65 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: go through the motions and you need to maybe prepare better. 66 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: The nice thing about this year was, regardless of the rookie, 67 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: the cost didn't really like go nuts, you know what 68 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Like Holiday Cheerio, I mean like holiday didn't work. 69 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: That clearly didn't work. He was sent down. He was 70 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: a disaster. But Cheerio was the one where it was 71 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: like all year long, people are like, no, no, no, 72 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I might you know, cut him? What 73 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: about this guy? What about this guy? Now you're at 74 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: a point. I asked Bogaman this one yesterday. Wh would 75 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: you rather have rest of season Jackson Cheerio or Randy 76 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: Rose Arena. 77 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: It's a great question. Someone in the chat even threw 78 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: that out there a little bit ago a wild you know, yeah, 79 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: if I missed it now, but for the rest of 80 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: the season, I'd have Cheerio. Like and I'm a huge 81 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: Randy Roseraina fan. He's on Pace for twenty five, but 82 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: he's hitting like two thirty, which is crushing you. I'm 83 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: Cheerio through and through, and that's why I'm really really 84 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing how he finishes the year and 85 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: where we go from here, because the talent is undeniable 86 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: for twenty years old. 87 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean, you know, technically on 88 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: a run of three straight months of hitting over three hundred. 89 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: He's had every month if we're not hunting March, but 90 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: every month of June it's been multi stolen bases, and 91 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: he's had every month but may be multi homer months, 92 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: and it's just taken a little bit of time to 93 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: start connecting and get going. But underlying stats, they're in 94 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: a decent spot. You know, hard hit rate, great, K 95 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: percentage low. His expected batting average is actually at just 96 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: a notch better than his current The only thing he's 97 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: got to do, like a lot of young guys, is 98 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: that he's got to start turning. Not Lawrence Butler, but 99 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: you got to start turning and beryling. And he's not 100 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: one hundred percent bareling, but that's going to be the consistency. 101 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: There was something about Randy Rose arena in that he's 102 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: already almost twenty twenty, and he's hitting like two twenty 103 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: that it's like, oh, if the regret, the positive regression 104 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: starts to come into play, you could see where the 105 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: big counting stats are. But Schurio is creating himself as 106 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: a baseline player. The strikeouts are lowering, the averages staying up. 107 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: He is getting those big counting stats. He might easily 108 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: just be a twenty five to twenty five guy into 109 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: the near future and just walk right into it. You know, 110 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: maybe the floor is old school Starling Marte and the 111 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: ceiling is going to be God knows, you know, God 112 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: knows where it's going to go. But Jackson Curio, everyone's awakened. 113 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: The awakening has happened to Jackson Curio August ninth for 114 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: some reason. 115 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty wild. He feels like what we want 116 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker to be. But Kyle Tucker's been hurt. This 117 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: is your guy now. 118 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: It feels like, yeah, we're going to talk about Kyle 119 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: Tucker here in a little bit. Laddie Junior missed out 120 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: on the cycle by a single. I actually didn't think 121 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: I would ever really say that, Yeah, that it was 122 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: going to be on that front so far twenty three 123 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: homers seventy six RBIs in one hundred and fourteen games 124 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: so far this year. Vladimir Guerrero Junior. We think the 125 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: value looks like on him next year. He was a 126 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: big bye and a lot of the videos that I 127 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: was doing early on in the year second half player 128 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: I really bought into also, like everything was screaming at 129 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: you outside of him getting the ball in the air 130 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: and he started to do. So, what do you think 131 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: the value is going to look like? 132 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: Like? 133 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: Is he done enough where he's gonna keep doing this 134 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: thing where it's like, hey, top fifteen again, I'm right 135 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: at like fifteen to twenty. He's gonna do that mid 136 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: second round thing he always does and then struggles in 137 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: the first two months and builds it back up. 138 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: Yes, I believe. So he's gonna jump over metals and 139 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: I think he's going to be in the peat Alonzo conversation. 140 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 2: It's going to feel like twenty twenty three all over 141 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 2: again with flag Guerrero. Who would you rather have? 142 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: Pe Alonzo? Verre flat did that now that you just. 143 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: Thought, I'll take vlad Because I'm a big Pede Alonzo 144 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: fan and I always thought his bad and average wuld 145 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: be better. It's just not improving. The skills are still undeniable. 146 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: But Vlad at worse is going to hit for average 147 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: more often than not because of how hard it's the ball, 148 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: even on the ground, And like you said, everything pointed 149 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: to positive aggression. Just get it elevated. He still has 150 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: over a fifty percent ground ball rate and he's doing 151 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 2: what he's doing. Just imagine if he just fix another 152 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: minor like five percent tweak like, he could be a 153 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: forty plus guy easily in the home run department. The 154 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: sky's the limit for Vladi. So I'm becoming more and 155 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: I've been an anti Vlad guy for a long time, 156 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: so I'm just my my brain is starting to work 157 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: into a let's appreciate who he is and the talent 158 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: he is. 159 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: Remember that debate, we'd always see where it was Vlad 160 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: or Jordon Alvarez, like do you think that how close 161 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: do you think that is? 162 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: It's Vlad all the way from me because I was 163 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: nervous with jord On because the dude just can't stay healthy. 164 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: It's great. I compared him in preseason. He is the 165 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: Greg Odin of the MLB. 166 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: Craig, I mean, that's a little bit dramatic, like, but's 167 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: done stuff, but you have. 168 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: To take in the first round, so you got to 169 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: be dramatic. 170 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I suppose you're right. You're not wrong 171 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: about that one. Kevin Gossman has been the topic of 172 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: a ton of stuff here so far this year, just 173 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: really and also I would say, just my disbelief in 174 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: him being able to like really turn it around. He 175 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: could be decent, but not the Kevin Gosman of old. 176 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: He limited the Orioles to two runs, three hits, eight innings, 177 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: getting his tenth wins so far this year, but just 178 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: two strikeouts. Very strange season, lots of inconsistencies. Do you 179 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: trust Kevin Gossman rest of this year going into the playoffs? 180 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: And when I say trust, I mean you're not gonna 181 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: worry about matchups, You're not gonna worry about maybe benching 182 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: him or something like that, Like you're just gonna blindly 183 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: throw him out. 184 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: Now. A couple of weeks ago, I took the l 185 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: on this one. I was loving the discount on Gospen 186 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: because he was heard entering the season, but they said 187 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: he'd be fine all these these things. And it's been 188 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: so inconsistent a couple of months, a couple two, three 189 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: weeks ago, I fled out said he's a spot starter 190 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: based on matchups. I had him benched last night in 191 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: my weekly leagues. He was benched and like the aightiens 192 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: is great. The two strikeouts doesn't help me at all. 193 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: It doesn't do it. So he's strictly a matchup dependence. 194 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: So to your question, do you just lock and load? No, 195 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: you do not with Kevin Gospen the rest of the season. 196 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think so either. I mean the overall 197 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: stats still they just you know, they're in the stinky range. 198 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: I'd have to look over his last couple of games 199 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: if we've seen a little bit more implementation. His slider's 200 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: up to like seven percent usage, but it's been mainly fastball. 201 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: It's been mainly ineffective. That's been his big thing. Strikeouts 202 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: are way way down, his expected era is still over five. 203 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: And I hate these type of guys. And you know 204 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: what hand up for the preseason because I was a 205 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: big like, oh, I can get a discount on Gossman 206 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: and I did it. I did it in a couple spots, 207 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: so that's l for me. But I've turned and I 208 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: turned a while ago that I don't even think like 209 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: in smaller leagues where you were able to make a 210 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: move off of him, I would have made that move 211 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: off of him already. And I hate these type of guys. 212 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: It's brutal, like where it's like, all right, you know, 213 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: I think I can get to go Oh nope, you 214 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: know they're crap. All right, put them on the bench 215 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: and then they go out have eight. Now you're gonna 216 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: feel compelled to put him out in the next start, 217 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: and then that struggle comes back. One of those guys, 218 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: you always make the wrong move. It sucks when you 219 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: always make the wrong move on a guy. Some other 220 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: news and notes. Walker Bueller allowed one run over five 221 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: and one thirds of an inning on Thursday in a 222 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: minor league rehab assignment in Triple A. That means we 223 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: are super close, Walker Wheeler. You start him off of 224 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: his first start back. This is always like my big 225 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: thing with any of these guys first start back. Are 226 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: you putting him out there? 227 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 2: No? I'm not, because I still think he's broken. He 228 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: was a shell of himself before he left. He pitched great. 229 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: He's going to face Milwaukee, one of the hottest offenses 230 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: in baseball. I'll sit back and watch and sadly we'll 231 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: see River Ryan go back to Triple A. 232 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: I know, River Ryan's been so good. I'm gonna agree 233 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: with you speaking of you brought him up a little 234 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: bit earlier. On Kyle Tucker, the athletics Chandler Rome reports 235 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: that Kyle Tucker was progressing to more explosive movements such 236 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: as sprinting, and that was it. That's all he said. 237 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: Such a sprinting, which they're hoping is going to move 238 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: along the process. It doesn't feel like you're going to 239 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: get Kyle Tucker back at all this year, and if 240 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: you do, it's probably going to be more relevant or 241 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: the most impactful two head to head leagues where you're 242 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: playing in the playoffs at Roto at this point, you know, 243 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: maybe you get him back to the final two weeks. 244 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure where that puts you over, but in 245 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: a head to head, if you got him back before 246 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs, that can be a complete game changer. But 247 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: he doesn't seem right. They're literally calling his explosive movements sprinting. 248 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: We haven't got into games. We're not getting into like 249 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: live sessions, BP, swinging bats, anything like that. It's August ninth. 250 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: I feel relatively adamant you're not getting him back. It's 251 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: not that you should go cut him or anything like that. 252 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: If you have il spots, you should put him out there. 253 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: But I don't know if people would need to make 254 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: that hard decision. I do not think we are going 255 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: to see Kyle Tucker. I really don't even know. I 256 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: don't think we're going to see him at the rest 257 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: of the regular season. I'll hold it at that. 258 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: I think if we see him at all, it's the 259 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: final two weeks, kind of like Christian Yelich last year 260 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: at the back injury. Get him loosened up, get him 261 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: ready for the postseason. That's all the Astros care about 262 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 2: right now at this point. So for fantasy purposes, I'm 263 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 2: with you. I've said he's a hold as long as 264 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: you can hold. But if you have no one else 265 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: to cut and you don't have any al spots, then 266 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: you move on from Kyle Tucker unfortunately, but you hold 267 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: as long as you can and just don't expect much. 268 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: Oh what do you think that's gonna do for you? 269 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: For his value next season? Like you're not looking at it. 270 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: I haven't started my ranks to next year because I'm 271 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: not that psychotic, but like you know, he's always he's 272 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: been first round for a couple of years. Let's break 273 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: it down like this. Let's start here, Kyle Tucker first 274 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: round next year. 275 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 2: I'm still leaning yes, but. 276 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: Really I thought we were going to keep going. 277 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: Okay, well, I still think I'm hoping a full off 278 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: season fixes things, but it has been a weird injury obviously. 279 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: I actually start my first draft on August twenty first, 280 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: the one we start every year, that fifteen of us 281 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: start our early draft Champions Draft, so we'll find out 282 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 2: real quick through in fifteen rounds that night, out of 283 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: the fifty, so we'll know for sure. 284 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be mid second, and I wouldn't 285 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: be shocked if there's some thirds in there. You do 286 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: have to remember not trying to be dismissive of him. 287 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: You do have to remember, like he was awesome, he 288 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: was an MVP candidate before you go yeah yeah, yeah. 289 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: So like you know, that doesn't take away from the 290 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: overall production. And August will be interesting because I don't 291 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: think that'll be out of people's brains. But come November 292 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: that'll kind of washed away and people will be able 293 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: to do it. But you know, I think there's some 294 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: other guys that have jumped up obviously, like Ellie now 295 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: owns a first round pick. I think some of the 296 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: younger guys, like a Jackson Merrill, Like I haven't even decided, 297 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: Like where's Jackson Merrill gonna go next year in fantasy, 298 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: because like he's gonna pull up on a Kyle Tucker 299 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: type season, healthy and playing in the outfield. 300 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,119 Speaker 2: Do you go, Jackson Merril, Jackson Cherio. That's a fun conversation. 301 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: It is a fun conversation. I mean, and like, are 302 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: both of them that far off from Kyle Tucker? 303 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: Because aren't they better than Michael Harris who was a 304 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: second round pick last year? Like these are the things 305 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: that make then there's your Kyle Tucker comunit. Like maybe 306 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: they do jump him and he moves back into the 307 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 2: second or third. There's only so many spots. There's only 308 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 2: fifteen spots, twelve spots, depends on your league. So that 309 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: doesn't make a good yet it does. 310 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: Uh, Hey for knows, I was watching the chat here 311 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: and I was starring, as we call them, on the 312 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: back end of our stream yard. Here is a starring 313 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: some questions. So we love to answer the Peanuts and 314 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: the cracker Jacks, So we're gonna answer some of your 315 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: guys's questions. We're also gonna be looking at some two 316 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: start streamers here in just a minute. So I saved 317 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: a couple questions. Bub, I'm gonna fire them at you. 318 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: Matt Flood dropped a Conforto or Kelnick for this weekend. 319 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: I say Conforto because Kelnick has been. 320 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: I'm with you. Kellen Nick's been rough, Conforido coming off 321 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: a good road series there, and they get the Detroit 322 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: Tigers this week, and so give me Conforto. 323 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I picked up Conforto in a league as well, 324 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: like kell Nick has been just not even justifiably startable. 325 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: Shane says Netto or Tovar rest of season. 326 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: I've been I actually rostered both those guys in a 327 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: lot of leagues. I'm gonna go Neto. I've been a 328 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: big Neto guy preseason. I thought he was a twenty 329 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: twenty guy, and we're seeing it now. Tovar is good, 330 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: he has cooled down a bit. But give me Zach Netto. 331 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I was about to say say his name 332 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: again you're going to Netto Nickto. I said it, you 333 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: said it straight, you strung it, then you went Netto. 334 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like I feel like Bogman 335 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: late nights uh in Arizona. 336 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, what does that mean? Particularly I would go, you know, 337 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: it's funny. We did this debate yesterday on IL and 338 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: it was Tovar and Tyler Fitzgerald, which is a wild 339 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: one because you know, obviously like Fitzgerald has been absolutely 340 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: going ballistic and by the way, we're gonna talk about 341 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: him a little bit, all the stolen bases yesterday and 342 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: this makes this might kill me. I picked Tyler Fitzgerald 343 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: the rest of season. I did it yesterday too, before 344 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: the game over. Tovar and Tovar has been good. He 345 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: has been like I feel like we've had a lot 346 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: of negative stuff around Tovar because there's a lot of 347 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: underlying expected stuff. If we're being frank, he has one 348 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: of the worst looking baseball savant underlying pages. But he's 349 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: defying that, you know, so good for him. Good for 350 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: him on that. There are always players that are going 351 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: to defy it. But he has like literally the worst 352 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: face rate in baseball. It's like forty it's the bottom 353 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: one percentile of the league. It's like bottom ten percentile, 354 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: Like you know, expected slug da da da da all that. 355 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: Yet he still is hitting like a good average. He's 356 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: got like eighteen or nineteen homers. He's at a decent, 357 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: decent season that he's defying that. Do you feel like 358 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: you're waiting for the shoot to drop? Tyler Fitzgerald not 359 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: only is on a hot streak and not only has 360 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: a great compliment of power and speed, but a lot 361 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: of the underlying things are telling a really good story. 362 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: Like he doesn't hit the ball really really hard, but 363 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: his barrel numbers are up, he's getting the ball in 364 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: the air, and he's making really good decisions. And then 365 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: he rattles off three stolen bases yesterday. So I think 366 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: I might. I think I would go Netto in that 367 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: as well, But I think I would take Tyler Fitzgerald 368 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: over both. Right now, I'm I'm drinking the Tyler Fitzgerald 369 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: kol aid. 370 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: It's good kool aid, welcome to the party. And I've 371 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: been saying his speed's better than his power. I've been 372 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: waiting for him to run. So, like you said, we'll 373 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: get to it, big Thursday for Tyler Fitzgerald. 374 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: Exactly, Michael says Hudeck and Michael, by the way, was 375 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: shaming me earlier, saying I'm not punctual. Hey, Michael, there's 376 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: stuff in the background. We Bobba had to get the audio. 377 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: I got to set the things. 378 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: So we were doing the stuff and things. 379 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go and count how many times we started 380 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: at nine thirty or twelve thirty one Eastern with Joe 381 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: on the show, Michael, who to cut when Julio returns? Cowser, Burlson, 382 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: Doyle or Pasquantino. 383 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: What a group? 384 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: This must be a ten league. 385 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: I was about to say, that's a league I'd like 386 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 2: to be a part of, because that is a tough 387 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 2: first world problems there. I think it's Oh, it's probably Burlson. 388 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: Unfortunately it's between Burlson and Doyle. But that's tough. That's real. 389 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: I go Burlson, but it's real tough. 390 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: It's not Kowser, no. 391 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 2: Fire. 392 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Doyle probably for ballpark and stolen bases. So I 393 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: would say Burlson too, but I do not feel good 394 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: about it. 395 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 2: I love Barlson, So that's that's a tough one. 396 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, Barry says, should we be worried about Taj Bradley. 397 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: Taj had been rattling off great starts across the board 398 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: strikeout numbers and then walloped walloped the other day. Didn't 399 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: look good at all, just the overall stuff, Like there's 400 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: these guys. Dylan Ceese is like this. I know there's 401 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: been comps to Todz Bradley where sometimes you watch a start, 402 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: it always weirds me out and you're just like, holy crap, 403 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: this stuff is unhittable, like the way that they're sequencing 404 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: and the end the command and it's like, oh, this 405 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: guy will not get hit at all. And then they 406 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: just have the most hittable stuff ever. Dylan ces does 407 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: it and you could tell it in the first inning 408 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: where you're watching this game you're like, Oh, this is 409 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: gonna be garbage, Like they're not going to strike out guys. 410 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: This is going Todz Bradley has that same thing where like, 411 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: especially as a better when I will bet like on strikeouts, 412 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: I can usually tell in the first inning like, oh, 413 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,479 Speaker 1: this is how this game is going to go early on, 414 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: like I don't feel like he settles in like Dylan 415 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: Cees is that there are some guys, you know, they 416 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: get rattled in the first inning and then it's four innings. 417 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: Zach Allen can be like that where there's four innings 418 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: of you know, no hit and blah blah blah, but 419 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 1: the first innings stunk. Ta's Bradley and Dylan Cees. Those 420 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: aren't guys that really. It's like, this is what you're 421 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: in for for the whole start. So are you worried 422 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: at all about TODs Bradley? 423 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: Now this is who he is. He'll get better. He 424 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: reminds me a lot of like Hunter Green in the 425 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: last few years, not this year, where he did the 426 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 2: same stuff. He knew it right out the gate. If 427 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 2: the command was off, it was over. Bradley's been very 428 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 2: good and I'm not overly concerned at all. 429 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: Matt said. Is Shane Bosworth keeping rest of season? 430 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 2: I don't think so. Unless you're in a fifteen team league. 431 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: He's not going deep into games. I'm just I'm not there. 432 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll look at this, Mike. By the way, he says, 433 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: at least well shows in August. Yeah, damn all right. Yeah, 434 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: I was looking at all the other questions, so I 435 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: didn't see all the other stuff in here. But yes, 436 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: you are right. I am here in August. I'll only 437 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 1: be here a little bit in September. A little bitsy bit, 438 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: little baby bit. Don't worry about that. We'll talk about 439 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: that at a later time. All right, let's talk about 440 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: some two start pitchers for next week. Presumed two start pitchers, 441 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: so caveat always put a little asterisk on this. These 442 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: can change at any moment. These and there's lots of 443 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: different places. We have it at Fantasy Pros. The CBS 444 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: one is another good one that you can check out 445 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: for presumed two start pitchers for next week. Now, I've 446 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: got five and I want to get a yay or nay. 447 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: Any breakdown you want to throw to it, please do. 448 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: But I got five guys that I think are most 449 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: likely going to be available in leagues. Now I will 450 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: give you the one caveat. The first player. I'm gonna 451 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: give you seventy eight percent ownership on CBS, so that 452 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: might not be available in some of your leagues. None 453 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: of these guys might necessarily, but we're gonna go down 454 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: in ownership. So first up, and by the way, there's 455 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: phenomenal like Trek Scouble, I think Chris Sale, George Kirby. 456 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: They're all scheduled for two starts. We're not talking about 457 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: the no brainers friends. We're talking about the guys that 458 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: might be available. And we're gonna start with Ben Lively, 459 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: who is lined up for two starts next week. Seventy 460 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: eight percent ownership on CBS Bubba. He would be going 461 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: up against Chicago at home and then at Millwaky for 462 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: Frankie Montass. The start percentage is a little bit lower. 463 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeay or nay? Are you starting Ben Lively? Do you 464 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: want Ben Lively for the two starts? 465 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: This is a guy I keep waiting for the other 466 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: shoot to drop on. It just never does. So I 467 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: think if you've rolled him this long, you roll them again, 468 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: just buckle up for the Milwaukee start. 469 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe, Yeah, I get what you're saying. Just from 470 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: the offensive standpoint, I think I'm cool. I'm good with 471 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: this one. This one is a go for me number two. 472 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: This might be the best of the available ones. Because 473 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: I didn't put Brandon Fought on here. I think that's 474 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: another good one. I would roll out Brandon Fought next 475 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: week because you know I'm me. But this one actually 476 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: might be available in some of your leagues forty percent 477 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: ownership in CBS, which if you translate that means like 478 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: twenty five percent on Yahoo, four percent on ESPN or 479 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: something like that. Paul Blackburn, with the New York Mets 480 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: next week, has got the Oakland A's and Miami both 481 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: at home Ross strippling Max. These are all the perceived 482 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: matchups that are going on, but if he gets the two, 483 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: it would be the A's and the Marlins. For the 484 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: most part, you couldn't ask for a better matchup. Throw 485 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: the White Sox in there then to replace maybe the A's. 486 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: You couldn't ask for a better set up. Paul Blackburn 487 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: must on the two start. Yeah your name, Yeah. 488 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite targets this week in the 489 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 2: fab Worlds. He's thrown two starts for the Mets, six innings, 490 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 2: one run, six k's. I believe in each start he's 491 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: been outstanding. He's worth keeping longer to stream throughout the season. 492 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 2: JP Sears was this guy last week. He two starts, 493 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 2: two starts. Blackburn's awesome. He's the tough one to add 494 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 2: this week. 495 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: Yes, sneers is Stears is sneaky. I can't say that 496 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: even once. Tyler Phillips next week forty two on CBS 497 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: is going up against the Marlins and Washington. We don't 498 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: know what the starter in the Washington side is, and 499 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: I believe both of those are home games for Philly. 500 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: So if he is starting Tyler Phillips, yay or nay. 501 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: Two things. I'll say nay because we've seen that production 502 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 2: kind of come down. Strikeouts have been an issues, more 503 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 2: of a pitch to contact guy. The other part is 504 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: Taiwan Walker' is supposed to be back next week, so 505 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 2: that might mean the end of Connor Phillips in this one. 506 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, And I'm not sure about that one either way. 507 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: So like I'm I just sign off on Lively, I'd 508 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: sign off on Blackburn. Funny enough, the next guy has 509 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: half of the percentage owned as Tyler Phillips, and I 510 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: think I would take the risk on it. Number four 511 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: is Trevor Rodgers, and I know Trevor Rodgers has not 512 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, blown the doors off or anything, only twenty 513 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: four percent ownership. He's got Washington and Boston both home 514 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: games again next week, so yes, offense is a little 515 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: bit tougher, but obviously his offense supporting Trevor Rodgers, would 516 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: you make that move for the two start next week. 517 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: Not a chance, not for me at least. I'm not 518 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: a Trevor Rodgers guy at all. And Boston is the 519 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 2: best offense in baseball SINCETI life first, so I'm staying 520 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 2: far away from that one, all right. 521 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: And then the final one here with a little bit 522 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: higher ownership over Trevor Rodgers, Tyler Molly has got Boston 523 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: and Minnesota. As fun as the idea of Tyler Molly is, 524 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: absolutely not. 525 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: That's a chance. His first start back he showed he 526 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 2: still has a lot of rust on that arm and 527 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 2: those offenses not happening. 528 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: That's a note for me, dog, No, thank you, sir. 529 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: Three up and three down, Pete Alonzo yesterday three for five, 530 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: two homers, three RBI stacking up homers. We mentioned our 531 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: boy Tyler Fitzgerald two for five with three stolen bases, Baba. 532 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: We were joking when you were on What the hell 533 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: were you on Monday when we did the bets. You 534 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: took the two and a half over hit run RBI first, 535 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: he let off, he got done it, and you just 536 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: text me and I was like, good lord, we already 537 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: locked that up. 538 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: Said you're worried about it just takes one swing, well 539 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: just sticks one swing. 540 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: Yeah no, And the only worry ever is like the 541 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: two point five. But to your point, but to your point, 542 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: why the hit run RBI is such a fun one, 543 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: is that like they could get it all on the 544 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: RBIs you know, like he could have one hit and 545 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: you know he can lock this up, or he get 546 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: have three sack flies and still get it. For the 547 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: hit run RBI, it's just usually the juice isn't good 548 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: unless you get a two and a half. So that 549 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: was really really sneaky. And do you think do you 550 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: think Tyler Fitzgerald, even like ninety percent of him is 551 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 1: going to carry over to next year as far as value, 552 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: Like the way he's pacing out, dude's gonna be a 553 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: top one hundred player next year. I don't know for 554 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the people that have started to check out, 555 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: Like will Joe piez Apia be on Tyler Fitzgerald as much? 556 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, well people understand the 557 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: legend of Tyler Fitzgerald. If he finishes out strong, Like 558 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: where do you think that'll line up to like next 559 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: year's value? 560 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 2: He'll go too high next year? Because he's like, he's 561 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 2: a two seventy two seventy five guy with good power, 562 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 2: good speed. He's a good ballplayer, a very good ballplayer. 563 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: I think he'll go. He should be going on Willia 564 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 2: Domus just where I maybe a little higher than Williadomis's right, 565 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 2: heave them, Yeah, it's. 566 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: In the same range. Also in the three of Tyler Anderson, 567 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: six innings, seven strikeouts, I was calling for the decimation 568 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: and it just hasn't happened. On the three down, speaking 569 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: of getting absolutely shull ACKed, Charlie Morton two and two thirds, 570 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: eight earned runs, gave up four homers. He has been rough. 571 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: Charlie Muten Charlie nest Cortez four and two thirds. I 572 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: didn't want to do any more of the bit nine 573 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: hits and six earned runs. And how about this one, 574 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: I just want to throw this at you, Joey Luperfito 575 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: Ohver four with three strikeouts. He now has seven straight 576 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: games of two or more strikeouts. That trade has not 577 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: done him any favors. He is the biggest nothing of 578 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: nothing's on the injury front, got quite a bit here. 579 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone told reporters that X rays came back negative 580 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: on Anthony Volpi's left foot, So I guess that's good news. 581 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: I don't know what the extent of this is going 582 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: to be, maybe like a couple days off or something 583 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: like that. Cody Bellinger is currently dealing with that left 584 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,719 Speaker 1: hamstring soreness. Pretty big disaster so far this year. Julio 585 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: Rodriguez ran the bases on Thursday for the second consecutive day. 586 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: They call that explosive movement, Bubba explosive Julio Rodriguez movement. 587 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: This is what I do want to ask you about. 588 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: Alex Cobb is going to make a season debut today 589 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: against the Twins. I don't know if it's the early game. 590 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: It might like be. 591 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 2: Happy game two. 592 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: Oh it's game two, okay, so it's a little bit later. Really, 593 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: the big question is are you comfortable starting him out 594 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: the gates? He had four and two thirds last Saturday 595 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: in a minor league rehabit assignment. He went, he ended 596 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: up striking out five. You know, it's been pretty solid. 597 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: He was a big trade move for them. Are you 598 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: comfortable and are you buying in on Alex Cobb at 599 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: least to start him right out the gates? 600 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 2: Yes, I am, because I've Actually he's actually pitched really 601 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: well out of rehab. He would have been back sooner. 602 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 2: Already popped the blister on his finger to push this back. 603 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 2: So I am believing in Alex Cobb. I'm on board 604 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: with this one. 605 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: Having those blisters pot that's a pretty brutal feeling too, 606 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: especially if you know you had to, like you know, crow. 607 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: Baseballs right, especially with sticky stuff and everything would be 608 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 2: a little a little awkward. 609 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: Can we get just can we get all the chief 610 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: stuff back? 611 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: I'm with you. Steroids, steroids, HD, sticky stuff. 612 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever, dude, give it all to me. Jared Jones, 613 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: speaking of pictures, allowed two runs over two and two 614 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: thirds of an inning on Thursday in a minor league 615 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: rehab assignment. So he is getting closer, I would I 616 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: would expect this pacing is probably two more starts. So 617 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: it's like right near the beginning of September. Josh Lowe 618 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: was removed from Thursday's game with a right knee contusion, 619 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: and as many people have been pointing out in the chat, 620 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: I am going to talk about it. Diamondbacks manager Tory 621 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: Leavello told reporters that Merle Meryl Kelly is potentially going 622 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: to return on Sunday against the Phillies. Now, if he doesn't, 623 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: that would line up to maybe being a two start 624 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: next week, if they were to do some type of push, 625 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: that would be fun. But MARYL. Kelly returning to the 626 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: Phillies is the biggest no thanks of all time. Even 627 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: though Meryll like, I like Merrill more than I like 628 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: Jordan Montgomery. Jordan Montgomery just oh, it's so humid, and 629 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? He's just so bad. I'm 630 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: so over it. Merril's fine, I'm cool, but no Dodgers, 631 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: no Padres, and no Phillies for me. I'm starting him again. 632 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna start Merrill on his first start back, 633 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: but then I'm good to go after that. 634 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: What about you? Yeah, I'm not either. Just like e Rod, 635 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 2: he's not really doing any rehab starts, and that always 636 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 2: concerns me, Like I want to see him throw a 637 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: little bit before. That's why Cobb lots of rehab. Meryl 638 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: not so much. 639 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: So I'll sit and wait, yeah, I will sit and wait. 640 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if I mentioned it a little bit earlier. 641 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily an injury, but boy, if we had 642 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: it's not an injury. By the way, but boy, if 643 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: we had a ton of games rained out and delayed, 644 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: and like I said, I don't think I mentioned it, 645 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: but today's game between the Rangers and Yankees was postponed 646 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: and it's going to be part of a double header 647 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: on Saturday. Maybe it feels like this, there's this constant rain, 648 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: constant games being delayed and pushed, and we're getting double headers. 649 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: We've got double header going on today, so just the 650 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,719 Speaker 1: chaos continues. All right, friends, you know what time it is? 651 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. Should add to the injuries. Friday morning, 652 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 2: Joe Ryan to the il with a Grade two latch 653 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 2: strain or triceps strain. They said he's gonna be out weeks, 654 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 2: if not months, So he's probably a cut folks. Just 655 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 2: throwing that out there real quick. 656 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: I think. No, I'm very glad you brought that up 657 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: because he was a killer. We were backing him earlier 658 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: in the week and then he got pulled from that game. 659 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'm going to lean that this 660 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: is good now. Obviously, if like if they can manage it, 661 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: they would want him back. They need him back. But 662 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: if it's months, I don't expect him back for the 663 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: regular season. So yeah, I do think. 664 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 2: It's great too, So it's at least a month, if 665 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 2: not more. It's like a month month and a half 666 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 2: probably that we're talking with seven weeks left. 667 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, probably can move on, my friends. All right, 668 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: we're moving over to some bets because it is time 669 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: for the best bets of the day on Friday with 670 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: not Joey p I. I asked for some art by 671 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: the way, that is going to get a change here, 672 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: but everybody could be reminded of Joe, but it is 673 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: not Joe. It is Welsh and the Bubba for the 674 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: best bets here on Friday. So Bubba, once't you kick 675 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: it off for us? What do you got for your 676 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: best bets of the day? 677 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: All right? You know me, I like my prop bets 678 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 2: at plus money, so let's have some fun here. You 679 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 2: mentioned Vladito to start the show on fire. Give me 680 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 2: over a half an RBI at plus one thirty five. 681 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 2: That's all he does is drive and run, so I'll 682 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 2: take my chances in a really good matchup against Mitch Spence. 683 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 2: Give me Austin Riley and Cooors over half an rbitt 684 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 2: plus one twenty five. His bat's been heating up and 685 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 2: he gets a scrub starting in Colorado, and then a 686 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: fun one here Garrett Crochet under five and a half 687 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 2: K's at plus one thirty. Crochet has not thrown more 688 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: than four innings since the start of July, so he 689 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 2: has to be extremely, extremely effective to get over five 690 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 2: and a half against the Cubs, which he could on Friday. 691 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 2: But I'll take the under at plus money. 692 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: That's a really, really sneaky one. I think I like 693 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: that one as well. I have some action in that 694 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: game as well. All right, my best bets. The one 695 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: of the best total base props on the betting Pros 696 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: cheat sheet popped up and I am into it. It 697 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: is could tell Marte total bases over one and a half. 698 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: Believe the number was ten of fifteen. He has hit 699 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: this now it is Zach Wheeler on the mound, but 700 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: Wheeler's had his moments. Katel hitting at the top of 701 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: the lineup. He has been hitting this Marker. I really 702 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: like this Katel Marte plus one thirty five for over 703 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: one and a half total basis. I will also tell 704 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: you personally it's gonna feel risky, but I'm in on 705 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Nelson's strikeouts for today. Ryan Nelson. Three of his 706 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: last four games he has struck out seven or more, 707 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: and he had a couple of nine strikeout performances in there. 708 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: Phillies are tough and the Phillies get to him early. 709 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: This is this is ain't going to go. But if 710 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: he is on, this is a five strikeout for plus money. 711 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: It's actually even money. 712 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: Sorry, I almost hit that plus. I almost went on 713 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: that one too. 714 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,959 Speaker 1: I'm with you, Okay, cool, Yeah, So that's one I 715 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: just personally did. I'm just letting you know. It's not 716 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: a part of my official three bets, but I did 717 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: bet it. I am also going speaking of the Garrett 718 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: Crochet Chicago full on nurfy, So give me the tie 719 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: on versus Crochet, no runs through the first inning at 720 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: minus one thirty five Chicago and the White Sox no 721 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: run first inning, and then I'm just doing a little 722 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: moneyline parlay. Give me Baltimore and the Dodgers combine those together. 723 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm taking their money lines that pays around one and 724 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: a half. It's like plus one fifty eight or something 725 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: like that. Zach Eflin and Jack Flaherty pitching for both 726 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: of these guys, So I've got Kittel total bases over 727 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: the Chicago's Nurphy and Baltimore Dodgers on the money line, 728 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: Bubba's got the Vlad Guerrero RBI at good plus money, 729 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: Austin Riley over on the RBI, and Garrett Crochet under 730 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: strikeouts at five and a half getting vede Vetty Sneaky 731 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,719 Speaker 1: on the Best Bets of the Day, brought to you 732 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: by bet three six y five and are Friends, which 733 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: people are probably watching this as well on betting pros. 734 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: The home round contest, Bubba, uh oh, you know what 735 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: I think I have. I want to get your home 736 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,479 Speaker 1: run call. I did get a board. I completely forgot 737 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: to download it here because the anticipation for everybody is 738 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: Joe gone. Has Joe been kicked? Is even kicked from 739 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: the island, And the official word is he has not 740 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: been kicked. Unfortunately he is there. Sorry for all that break, 741 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get that going here. I did get 742 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: two homers from Anthony Santander the other day. I want 743 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: to point out I believe that puts me Forre a dinger. 744 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: If you're there, it's a twenty seven twenty eight maybe 745 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 1: because I also did have a Royce Lewis Homer built 746 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: somewhere in there, So I think I've got a twenty 747 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: seven or twenty eight. If I'm at twenty eight, I'm 748 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: there next week. I'm gonna get in there. But Joey 749 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: P's at the bottom of the list with thirty Wonky 750 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: is up at fourteenth on the list at thirty three. 751 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: Your leaders though, el Scale and South African g both 752 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: at thirty nine, Silent Dragon and Whips at thirty eight, 753 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: and then be Trot and Larry at thirty seven. That's 754 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: what your top six is on the home run board. 755 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,959 Speaker 1: So I was able to I was able to hold 756 00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: it down just enough to get the board before we 757 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: got your home. We're on call. Where are you going today, Bubbs? 758 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 2: There's a double header between the Twins and the Guardians. 759 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 2: I know I can't take both games. That would be 760 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 2: Joey piece of po level of trolling here, but I'll 761 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 2: go game one as the Twins face Cantillo, who is 762 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 2: not good.

I want to bet Austin Riley all 772 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: the time, and it has paid off for me quite 773 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: a few times. Matt Olson has been a little bit inconsistent, 774 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: and I'm actually not sure if I've hit a single 775 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: maddalson Homers so far this year. Today we'll break that 776 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: and maybe that can even get me on the board 777 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: for next week.
