21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: to me yesterday about the Wang Gonzala's error cards, another

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: one that had the reverse I don't know if you

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: remember that. I think it was eighty nine, Don Russ.

24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: I want to say eighty nine or maybe ninety one.

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: It's one of those early nineties, late eighties Don Russ

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: rookie cards where Wang Gonzalez is one and then it's

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: like a reverse negative and his numbers backwards in the

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: other That was one of the better error rookie cards.

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: Do you recall this, No, No, I don't the It's

30
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: kind of well nowadays they do, like you know, purposeful

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: error things and image variations, but there's only so there's

32
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: only one error card that I really recall from like

33
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: you know, post or pre two thousand, and that is

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: the Billy Ripkin card, which I have actually right back

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: here with the back.

36
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: I dropped it in the chat. So yeah, it's nineteen ninety,

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: so I knew it was in that range. It's not

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: going for nearly as much as it used to.

39
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I see that, whereas like, yeah, his number

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: looks back.

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Number is backs because they rehearse the negative on there

42
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: for some odd reason, so pretty hilarious. There good times

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: and of course good times here major League Baseball. Now

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: starting with the headlines, look Jokesterdamis is always going to

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: keep it real. For things that I'm right about, I'm

46
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: gonna say I'm right about it, and things when I'm wrong,

47
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: I'm going to own it and say when I'm wrong

48
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: about something. And I was wrong about Jacob de Grom,

49
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: and I couldn't be happier to be wrong about Jacob

50
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: de Gram. I'm a fan. I love the guy. He

51
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: is near and dear to my heart. But I suffered.

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: I suffered, not just as a Mets fan, but as

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: a fantasy manager with Jacob de Gram year after year

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: after year, and it's been in five years since he's

55
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: been relevant. So the fact that he's been on this

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: streak that he has been on this year is spectacular.

57
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Another start against the Orioles, another dominating performance for him,

58
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: five hits over six innings of work, gave up two runs.

59
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: He is now nine and two on the season. He

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: has a two pine three ERA, a point eight to

61
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: nine whip, one hundred strikeouts to twenty one walks in

62
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and one and the F three innings. He

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: gets the Angels this week. Shout out to Joel Rico,

64
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: who might have been the highest of anyone I know.

65
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: On de gram is feeling a little bit a little

66
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: shaky in the first couple starts there in April, but man,

67
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: has he been great. I think it is a distant

68
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: memory Welsh too, of the conversation of oh, we might

69
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: have to put de gram on the il here mid season.

70
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: That ain't happening. He's pitching way too well right now.

71
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: So it's just a matter of can the ranger stay

72
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: relevant in.

73
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: July or the old uh Jacob de Gramm's got to

74
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: be a closer, you know, Like that's.

75
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: Kind of discussions that made sense at the time. I

76
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: will say, in order to keep him healthy and away

77
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: from Tommy John. But you couldn't do that anyway, it

78
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: was inevitable. But continue well and to like what you

79
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: were saying.

80
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: You were saying, he's been relevant, he's just been hurt

81
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: and that's why that like should he be a reliever,

82
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: blah blah blah the thing that they did. And it's

83
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: really interesting. I was just looking if you remember me

84
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: saying this, like early in the season, you noticed that

85
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: de gram had some like usage differences, but he also

86
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: had some VLO down. Like you saw that he was

87
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: ticking down on some of his velo. His vilo's all

88
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: back up. So clearly they kind of went early season,

89
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: let's bring you know, let's throw a little bit more

90
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: change ups while not throwing your fastball as much or

91
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: as hard. Slider not as hard, and that has evened

92
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: doubt because everything is back to like within you know,

93
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: point whatever fractional points of where it should be as

94
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: far as velocity on the slider enforcing. But that's what's

95
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: led to the k percentage being lower than usual. But

96
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: it hasn't led to any weird results stuff. I mean, yeah,

97
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: they I guess the strikeouts are a little bit less.

98
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: You're seeing some of those weirder games. But at the

99
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: end of the day, he's got a sub three expected

100
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: RA with his two ERA walking around five percent, which

101
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: again is just a tiny bit more. That's the use

102
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: of the change up. But it looks like whatever they've

103
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: done and maybe the downtick has helped keep the health. Finally,

104
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: and look in here, this is the first time he's

105
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: hit one hundred innings since twenty and nineteen. This is

106
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, the first time he's got to one hundred

107
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: innings and everything looks absolutely phenomenal right now, So I

108
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: think they found some secret sauce and hopefully now that

109
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: things are kind of back up, he's going to be

110
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: able to help maintain that health. And we talked about

111
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: it on betting prosa Rico and I that he's still

112
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: laying into his Jacob de gram Cy Young bet I

113
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: don't like it because I think Toreik Scuble is the

114
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: most locked of lock. I think he's an MVP candidate

115
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: at this point. But legitimately, well, yeah, we talk about

116
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: it on there, like everything is contingent. That's my big argument.

117
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: Anybody that's not Judge is contingent on Judge being hurt.

118
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: But if Judge were to, like, let's say, you know,

119
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: get hurt and disappear for a little bit, I don't

120
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: think it's a shoe and then a guy like cal

121
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: Rawley would just run necessarily run away with especially if

122
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: a guy like Turk's Scuble. Wellterik Scuble wins twenty plus

123
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: games here, has got way over two hundred, which he

124
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: has ten right now in seventeen games, so it's not

125
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: ridiculous twenty plus games. He could be in for that,

126
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: but he's locked for the cy Young. But you've got

127
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: some stuff floating out there that he'd like if something

128
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: were to happen to him. Jacob deGrom would be that,

129
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: you know that silent guy that walks in because oh

130
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: my god, he gets one hundred and fifty innings. We've

131
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: always said this, If he gets one hundred and fifty innings,

132
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: he's a cy Young candidate and that stays. But just

133
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: Rake scoober would have to have to not be there.

134
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: So Jagram has been amazing. They found the secret sauce

135
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: and things.

136
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: The last guy to win twenty games.

137
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: Ian Kennedy's who comes to my mind, but it's probably

138
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: not right. He won like twenty something with the Diamondbacks.

139
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. Drop it in the chat everybody,

140
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: if you're paying attention.

141
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, if someone knows, that would be good. But that's

142
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: my argument on there. And again, like it's only in

143
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: that if I guess Judge would have to fall off

144
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: cal Rowley. You know he's got like a five and

145
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: a half war Terrake scoobels in the fours. But if

146
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: Scooble would to win twenty plus games have like a

147
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: low two E like, I think he's in that. I

148
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: think he's in that discussion if Judge doesn't exist.

149
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: Last picture to win twenty games for each team. I'm

150
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: looking for this. This is a fun thread. If this

151
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: is true. Spencer Strider in twenty twenty three. Okay, so

152
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't that long ago. I thought it was Strider

153
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: I could have Can this be true? I don't. This

154
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: doesn't look right to me. Ian Kennedy was on there

155
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: twenty eleven.

156
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: Some of these don't look like did Kyle Wright really

157
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: have twenty.

158
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: Apparently? Yeah, but I'm looking at this. Garret cole in

159
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, that sounds right. Justin Verlander twenty nineteen that

160
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: also sounds correct. So those are the last couple guys.

161
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: This it's a lot of twenty one games, by the way,

162
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: in the last like five or six years.

163
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: It's way more than I'm to dive a little bit

164
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: on this one. By the way, speaking of owning els,

165
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: I own mine at the top of the show because

166
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to set a good precedent because Welsh in

167
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: the words of Finn, how about that, Zach Gallen, Huh

168
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: here mcgrady's saying, I droped Zach Gallon starting he decides

169
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: to be good tonight. He's got a great record in

170
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: his career against the San Francisco Giants, by the way,

171
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: two runs, one earned a ten, ten, ten strikeouts, seven

172
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: innings in a win or the Giants. Wesh, what was

173
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: this like for you? Watching this because you want the

174
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: Dimonbacks to win? You're a Diamondbacks fan at heart. But

175
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: yet at the same time, this has gotta be just

176
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: just grinding torture to watch him be ten ten strikeout performance.

177
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: Well ten, not today, Satan, We're not doing the gallant thing.

178
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: I'm not accepting any l's yet. Listen. I have said

179
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: from day one, Zach Zach Allen's one of my favorite pitchers.

180
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: He's a super smart guy. He has talent. He like

181
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: when things are working. That's always been the thing. When

182
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: things are working, he's crazy. That knuckle curve is a

183
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: disgusting pitch that he can throw for strikes. Change up

184
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: he can throw first pitch strikes on his change up.

185
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: It's a great pitch. His fastball is the thing that

186
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: has stunk, and it still stinks. It's still not a

187
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 2: super great pitch. I mean he did sit like ninety three,

188
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: which is about where you is, but like he could

189
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: not throw the curve and the change up for strikes

190
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: at all. Listen to the zone percentage fifteen percent on

191
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: the knuckle curve, twenty seven percent for the changeup. You

192
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: want to know why it was effective because he was

193
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 2: throwing the fastball for strike sixty five percent zone percentage

194
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: and the Giants just ate that up. I want Zach

195
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 2: Zach Gallen to be successful. I was definitely I'll take

196
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: the l on wanting to draft him this season, but

197
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: I don't think one start gets us back. And oh,

198
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: Zach Gallen, give me a couple of them, because his

199
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: problem all season long is when he can't throw or

200
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: trust the fastball, those secondaries start walking guys and then

201
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: guys are sitting on the fastball and banging it around.

202
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: I need three or four starts before I think Gallon

203
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: is back. I know, people, you're not going to probably

204
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: get that. You got to go make if you want

205
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: to go make a move, go make a move for

206
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: Zach Gallen. We know like who he's been, but I've

207
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: just been watching him this year and one start isn't

208
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: going to change my mind because he does.

209
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: Does two more starts change your mind? And does it

210
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: change the mind of contending team who might take a

211
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: shot on him?

212
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: Definitely changes the content. If he can show some consistency

213
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: over two more starts, one hundred percent changes the trade

214
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: value of him. I don't. I think it'll change my

215
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: mind a bit, But like.

216
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: Can you be comeback layer of the Year? I save here,

217
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: Uncle baby Philly.

218
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: By the way, there's no h he's he's only a zac.

219
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 2: But I I'm just not I'm just not here for

220
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: it because like there's nothing in that stuff that he

221
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: was throwing there where. I'm like, wow, man, you know,

222
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: he was throwing his curveball for a lot and guys

223
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 2: were missing it. No, he got a ton of curveballs

224
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: with on fifty three percent rate on his curveball, and

225
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: none of them were in the zone. So the Giants

226
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: were just hacking at that thing. I'm shocked that his

227
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: fastball was as successful as it was, but it had

228
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: an average exit velocity of ninety seven against it. So

229
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: I Gallan's still gonna get banged around. I'm not fully

230
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: buying it, but you know, go pick him up and

231
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: maybe I don't start him in the next one. See

232
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: if he had it out there one hundred percent.

233
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: He does.

234
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: He feels like a seven years old.

235
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: He's been around a long time. I had to verify

236
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: this because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. So

237
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: here's the list of guys who won twenty games in

238
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: a major league season since nineteen seventy eight. Spencer Strider

239
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, Julio Urius in twenty twenty one.

240
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: And I kept saying that can't be true, and yeah

241
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: it was. I mean Julio Urias. Man. Wow, Uh, there's

242
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: a throwback for you. Garrett Cole and Verlander nineteen, Corey Klueber,

243
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: Blake Snell in twenty eighteen, Rick Porcello, Ja happ and

244
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: next Shures are in twenty sixteen, Jake Arietta in twenty fifteen,

245
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: Johnny Cuato and Adam Waynwright in twenty fourteen. Max Schers

246
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: are again in twenty thirteen, Jared Weaver in twenty twelve.

247
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Are a Dickey, I remember that year, the big cy

248
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: Young Dicky of Where's Ian Kennedy and Kenny twenty eleven? Then? Wow,

249
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: is that allow fourteen years ago? Fourteen years ago?

250
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: That felt like that was like twenty eighteen or not century.

251
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: Getting old wellz C. C. Sabaki and Roy Holliday in

252
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: twenty ten. Nobody for five years before that, Nobody, Dontre

253
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: Willis in two thousand and five, Johann Santana in two

254
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: thousand and four, Esteban Lwiza for the White Sox in

255
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. How about that one for Rando

256
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: Jamie Moyer in two thousand and three. Also Barry Zito

257
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: in twenty two thousand and two. Then in the ninety

258
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: eight season you had Rick Helling, John Burkett nineteen ninety three,

259
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: with Bill Swift, John Smiley in ninety one, Brett Saberhagen

260
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: in eighty nine, Teddygera in eighty six, Mike Bottiker in

261
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: eighty four, gay Lord Perry in nineteen seventy eight. So

262
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: those are the last guys to win twenty games in

263
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: the season for every major league team.

264
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: So again, what's what's interesting about that is like, there's

265
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: definitely way more twenty games.

266
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: This is the last one, is what I'm saying.

267
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: Okay, and then I even remember it's kind.

268
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: Of fun, like oh my god, you know, you know

269
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: how even in one year though, so very very few guys.

270
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the eurious one was the one I told yeah,

271
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: and I totally forgot that one.

272
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: I think, and it can maybe, like you know, down

273
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: talk a little bit of what I'm saying with Treik Scooble.

274
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, the logic, I think,

275
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: all the logic and again you can watch the Betting

276
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: Pro Show, we do it all. Almost every award right

277
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: now is contingent on like some disaster happening because Otani

278
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: is so easy, Judge is so easy. Scoople is so easy.

279
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: But in that MVP race, it's like, my idea is

280
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: if a Judge is hurt and the Mariners are only

281
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: living off of cal Rally and they come back down

282
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: to earth a little bit. Drake Scooble's on the team

283
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: with the most wins in baseball. He is proving to

284
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: be the most valuable player if he had twenty plus

285
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 2: wins a low to era, you know, top one or

286
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: two in strikeouts. It's almost like a triple Crown pitcher

287
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: who's made their team be the best in baseball, who

288
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: is getting to the playoff, winning their division. That's the

289
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: thing where like if if Judge were gone to cal

290
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: Rally and the Mariners were not make the playoffs. It's like,

291
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: do you have a non playoff team catcher or a

292
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: pitcher who is like at the top of every single

293
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: category making their team better. That's kind of the logic

294
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: of it. But it's all illogical though, because all the

295
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: the you know, like I said, this isn't even a

296
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: fun race. None of these races are fun.

297
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: The AL League is kind of fun right now.

298
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: It's that's the closest one. That's it.

299
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: It's fun. I think the National League Rookie of the

300
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: Year could be fun depending on what Miserowski does tonight.

301
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun for me. When I got him

302
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: at ten to one.

303
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: Miserawski, you know, yeah, I mean he is minus funny

304
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: right now he has.

305
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Another good start, Who knows, that might be very fun

306
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: for me. But yeah, that's very fun for you. Twenty

307
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: wins man. That is a It's one of those anomalies

308
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: you see here in the major league seasons. It's it's

309
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: also kind of funny. Just remember some of these names.

310
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: Dallas Kickel also did it in twenty fifteen. I remember that.

311
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: Oh man, Look here's Zach Gollen In twenty twenty three,

312
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: seventeen and nine in twenty twenty three. Remember remember when

313
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: Zach Gollen was fighting for cy Young's remember that Welsh.

314
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: I do, they were fighting for a world series. I

315
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: was there.

316
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: Believable. All right, let's go some of these names too.

317
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: As you start like Domingo Herman.

318
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: Like, oh yeah, no, these are it's real, especially when

319
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: you get into the like midcheofhoutars like fifteen, that's great.

320
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: And I see you, Chad, I see what you've been

321
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: talking about. We'll get to it in the show. That's

322
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: a teaser. Yamamoto held the White Sox to one run.

323
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: Otani hit another home run, So good day for the Dodgers.

324
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: What else is new? Edward Cabrera, he shout out the

325
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: Twins for seven innings, continues to just just inflate that

326
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: trade stock every single start, struck out, six, walked one.

327
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: He was one of our bi lows a couple of

328
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Hopefully you listen. Grant Holmes another really good

329
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: performance for him, ten strikeouts, and he has picked up

330
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: things quite a bit. You know that injury to Chris

331
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Sale I thought was really gonna hurt this rotation, but really,

332
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: Grant Holmes has stepped it up in the last four

333
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: or five stars, he's been terrific.

334
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: I you're one hundred percent right about that three and

335
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: a half thera right now, a sub four expected ERA

336
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: and almost thirty percent k percentage. We kind of talked

337
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: about this, I think yesterday on the Show, and we

338
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: did it on the Betting Show as well. Braves are

339
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: like really far out of the wild card right now.

340
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: I think it's like eleven games. Divisionally they're like seven

341
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: eight nine games. Maybe it's eleven out of the wild card.

342
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: What if the Braves start selling Grant Holmes might be

343
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, if they go and sell Chris Sale.

344
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: I know it's probably on the injury thing here in

345
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: a little bit, but Sale was just put on the

346
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: sixty day. That's brutal. That could be a season end

347
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: er if you lose Sale and you don't pick up

348
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: games and you want to start kind of soft selling,

349
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: and soft selling is still playing for next year, where

350
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: you know, soft selling is like you keep your main pieces,

351
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: but maybe you trade Marcelo Zuna, maybe you trade Graham

352
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: on the hotness year.

353
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: So that's a guy that could give you both. Yeah,

354
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: should be all over him. But You're right. They're seven

355
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: and a half out of the wildcard right now in

356
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: the National League there, so.

357
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tough thing. Like they could get there,

358
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: but if they don't start picking it up in the

359
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: next two weeks, they legitimately have to consider them selling

360
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: is just a couple of pieces maybe looking for next year.

361
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: And that's why I think, I just really think Grant

362
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: Holmes could maybe they want to hold on him next year,

363
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: but like maybe he could get.

364
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: All the braves. We almost got a sinko stinko last

365
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: night from Ronald Acunya of all people, I mean, just

366
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: against like Tyler Anderson. What world of the upside down

367
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: did I fall into? Or Ronald Acunya can't hit Tyler Anderson.

368
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand. I just don't get. It's

369
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: one of those baseball anomalies where you get a guy

370
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: who's like so great and a guy who's so bad,

371
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: and you're like, why can't this guy hit this guy?

372
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: Or vice versa, like why does why does this hitter? Uh?

373
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: You know who's terrible? So good? Against Tarik Skuble, Like,

374
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't understand.

375
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: He is a golden sombrera, right Strake Sinko Stinko. But

376
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: we needed this stinkos Sinko Stinko. And and you know,

377
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: if we get one more, we need to go back

378
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: and remember who they were and we need to have

379
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 2: like and we should do this for next season. A

380
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: collective graph sad music. No, just like a poster board,

381
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: like a poster board. Every time we get one, put

382
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 2: it up on our poster board. Here's a Sinko.

383
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: Sinco like a vision board, but it stinks.

384
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a vision all.

385
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Right, laser sharp As a question, I have Woodroff coming

386
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: off the high O. Sure you do, Sure you do?

387
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: Do I drop Sandy al contra Ar not Edwarck Cabrera,

388
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: not Jacob Bizarowski, not Clerk Schmidt. Or do I just

389
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: drop Woodroff? I think the question is Sandy al contra

390
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: or Woodriff? Rest of season?

391
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: Oh man, Sandy, just like he broke BA again, he's breaking.

392
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm taking my chance with Woodriff.

393
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: I mean he's gonna stay. He's the final destination of pictures,

394
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: by the way, you know what I mean. Like he's

395
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: gonna drive to the park and like two by fours

396
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: are gonna fall off of a truck and it's gonna

397
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: take his tires out. Like I still am holding out

398
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: this hope that Sandy is gonna go to a team.

399
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: You know, it could be a team like the Mets

400
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: or something, and they could fix it and.

401
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: He could be good.

402
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: I just don't know if Woodruff is any better of

403
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: a bet than Sandy right now, but I think you

404
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 2: can make they're one of them. I kind of you

405
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: know what I might do, Maybe like as soon as

406
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 2: he gets activated and pitches, maybe you can hold him

407
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: on the eyel and see what happens to Woodrow, see

408
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: what type of ridiculous disaster final destination trade.

409
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: Michael Harris, I'm just thinking about that because they have

410
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: Profar coming back. Profar doesn't help anybody because he can't

411
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: play in the playoffs, so no contender is gonna want

412
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: him in a deal. But I wonder, Michael Harris, like

413
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: somebody might kick the tires on him. That might be interesting.

414
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: I think just age and control. And I mean, they

415
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: don't hate him as much as you hate him, so.

416
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: I no one does does. They don't hate him. I'm

417
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: just realistic to see. It's the difference. It's a difference

418
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: between truth telling and just because it's truth telling that

419
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: people don't want to hear and they think it's negative.

420
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: It's just honesty. Honesty is my brand. Welsh, big Gene,

421
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: what's up, fellas? I have Trout, Adele and Ward. Hello,

422
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: so I'm looking to flip one for a starting pitcher.

423
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: Best offer? I have gotten his Ward or Adell for

424
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: Reese Olsen. What do you think Ward for Reese Olsen

425
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: is not terrible?

426
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: Not terrible, definitely not.

427
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: Working his way back.

428
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, hell no, my trade Taylor Ward.

429
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 1: Went our whole run spree right now?

430
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: Good.

431
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: I would do that deal.

432
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, rees Olson too, two nine six era expected looks good,

433
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: good strikeouts. He's been walking a little bit more. I

434
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: know he missed some time because he's only up to

435
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: like fifty innings right now and he's not even pitching.

436
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 2: Like where what is his injury status in? Because he

437
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: hasn't pitched?

438
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: He was he made a rehab start we just talked

439
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: about yesterday. I think it was just yesterday or Monday.

440
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: He made a rehab start and shout out to big Gene.

441
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: First time here, Big Gene, come subscribe to the channel here,

442
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: first time asking a question, So we appreciate you.

443
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: Uh oh yeah, they're saying a Friday, Monday or Sunday.

444
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: We talked about it on the show war for him,

445
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: day over the weekend is when he made a start.

446
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 1: I think that's what it was. So there you go,

447
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: CC always on top of things. Uh, let's talk about

448
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: some sleepers here, good and bad. Matthew Boyd going into

449
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: the year was one of my sleepers from the Black Book.

450
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: Two runs, five hits, seven innings. He's been terrific, his

451
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: eighth victory of the year. He's really held things down

452
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: in that rotation. He's been a rock in the Cubs

453
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: rotation with Steal out, with Imanaga out. Matthew Boyd's been

454
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: very reliable and very quietly. So I just wonder what

455
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna look like when he crossed one hundred innings threshold.

456
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: And then Gavin Williams, another sleeper, has not been so good.

457
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: Five and two thirds, seven hits, four runs. So again,

458
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: just same old, same old for Gavin Williams and same

459
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: old for Paul Skins. Our last headline five scoreless innings,

460
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: five strikeouts against the Cardinals. The v Loo's there, but yeah,

461
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: he came out with eighty eight pitches and now he's

462
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: four and seven with a two oh three e RA.

463
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: This is what it was like for Jacob deGrom back

464
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: in the day with the Mets do where they just

465
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: would not score and he couldn't get a win, and

466
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: you know he would have a one point two four ERA.

467
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: He was record to be like two and four. It

468
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: was just the worst thing you've ever seen this season.

469
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: He and and I can't get over it, Like I know,

470
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: it is what it is, but like we're we have

471
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: minus money on a pitcher that has four wins on

472
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: one of the worst teams in baseball. It's just an

473
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: uphill battle when you look at that, like Cy Young

474
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 2: Award winning, not that like fantasy people really care about that,

475
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: but it's it's frustrating for Paul Skeens because he's not

476
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: going deep and he's not getting wins.

477
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: And in the.

478
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: Betting market, you just look at a player that's minus

479
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: money with all those guys ahead, it's just it's an

480
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: uphill battle. When guys like Zac Wheeler are good, you

481
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: talk about Yamamoto has been really good, there's just there's

482
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: too much weird parody in it for a guy like

483
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: him to be minus money. They should all probably be

484
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: plus money. Now, he could rattle off ten wins and

485
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: put together a really good season, but this Pirates team sucks, man,

486
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: and they cannot score runs, they cannot get him a lead,

487
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: and they cannot hold a lead. It's it's actually crazy.

488
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: Over under. I know we did this like last week,

489
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: just checking back on it. Over under nine and a

490
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: half wins.

491
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm still saying under. I don't think he gets to

492
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: the double digits there. I think he ends up with nine,

493
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: which is really really sad. I remember, they're gonna sell

494
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: more pieces, so Brian Reynolds will be gone, and god

495
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: knows what else Bednar will be gone. So even if

496
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: he has a lead, they're gonna blow in the nine thing.

497
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the It's a huge ecosystems. Go look

498
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: right now, go get your Football Black Book. Okay, it's

499
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: right here behind me. Go get it on Amazon. Do

500
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: a whole thing about the ecosystems in the NFL and

501
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: what they mean for your fantasy team, and my hope

502
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: is to do a baseball version of it next year.

503
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: But part of it is understanding the bullpens, understanding the

504
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: second half situations of teams that are buyers and sellers. Understanding,

505
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: the pitching coach, the understanding, all that stuff. That talent

506
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: is great, but circumstances are important to help talent live

507
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: up to their potential. And I think that's something that

508
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: we just pass over too much. By the way, there's

509
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: one team that never have a twenty game winner. When

510
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: I guess what it is, Oh.

511
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: Never had an I'm not going to get this right

512
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: at all.

513
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Let's go with the Rangers.

514
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: No, the Rangers have no No, only that's his dumbest whenever.

515
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: The Rangers last guy was Rick Helling in nineteen ninety eight.

516
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: The Rockies is correct, they have.

517
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: No Really, I thought I was wrong because, well, remember

518
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: Baldo Amenne is a crazy year he had.

519
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: It was one of the things that got me into fantasy,

520
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: like one of the first things I wrote that got

521
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: me into like it got picked up by AP or

522
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: something that about Eubaldo Jimenez and I was like, oh

523
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: my god, I can write about fantasy sports. Look at me.

524
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: So I thought it was Also, it's not so I

525
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: don't remember how many wins he had.

526
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: Wow, I thought it Baldo would have got it. So yeah,

527
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: that was I think it had like eighteen wins and

528
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 2: it was a crazy year. By the way, while you're

529
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: looking that up a little not like crazy breaking news,

530
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 2: but the Braves just designated Alex Ferdugo for assignment to

531
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: activate jerks and Profar soil Verdugo gone see a piece

532
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: out and Profar is.

533
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: Oh, nineteen and eight Ubaldo in twenty ten, bro what

534
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: was his he r at two point eight eight? He

535
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: was nineteen and.

536
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: Eight this year doing that in Colorado two hundred.

537
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: And fourteen strikeouts. You walk ninety two guys in two

538
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty.

539
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 2: But dude, the youngins don't know how great it was

540
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: to have a bald Jamenez out there. He was just beloved.

541
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: Was he was an all star. He was terrific. What

542
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: were his splits too, I'm curious to see so at home?

543
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: He had a three to one nine era in Colorado

544
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: two six three on the road that year. He was terrific.

545
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: He was terrific. He lasted a long time too, you know,

546
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: looking at this like he you know had Cleveland, Baltimore,

547
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: remember again up in Baltimore.

548
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: He ate it.

549
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: But hey, he played twelve years in the major leagues

550
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: as a pitcher, half of them in Colorado. That's that's

551
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: nothing to sneeze at Diamondbacks first base slash outfield Trey

552
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: Mancini opted out of his minor league contract. I thought

553
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: this was kind of weird timing considering his July but

554
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: maybe not so. Man Scene's gonna go out in the

555
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: open market. And uh he was hitting three h eight,

556
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: three seventy three five twenty two in the PCO with

557
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: sixteen homers. Trey Vncini, once upon a time was a

558
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: good major league player. He had cancer. He took him

559
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: a long time to come back, bounced around a little bit.

560
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: But I think he could help a team. I would

561
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: not be shocked for him to catch on somewhere else.

562
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of surprised that Diamonbacks were like, hey,

563
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, we might chang Josh Nayler in a couple

564
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: of weeks. Maybe you want to stick around. You might

565
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: be able to help out the team. I just thought

566
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: this was a little odd, So keep an eye on

567
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: that one. Also, rookie, lookie, Emmicchihan could start Sunday for

568
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: the Astro. So if he's on your waiver wire, pick

569
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: him up. Now start him against What did I say, Oh.

570
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, you met, you said against against the Astros.

571
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 1: You just said forty against the Astros for the Dodgers,

572
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, either way, stardom, that's

573
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: what you want to do. Let's get to the ups

574
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: and downs. Randy rose Arena stays hot man, How hot

575
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: has Randy aros Arena been lately? Two or four with

576
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: a solo homer. Those Mariners are hitting the ball. Hunter

577
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: Goodman two for four, two solo homers and his return

578
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: also recently from injury, and on Canada Day, George Springer

579
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: two home runs including a Grand Slam. Pretty cool. The downs.

580
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: Max Freed finally a down, four runs and six innings,

581
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: not invincible against the Blue Jays. These are two big

582
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: wins back to back days for the blue Jays against

583
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: the Yankees, Emerson Hancock five runs, one strikeout and six

584
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: innings against the Royals and Chase de Lander six runs,

585
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: one strikeout in two and two thirds. All right, let's

586
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: get to the injuries, because there's a lot of important

587
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: stuff to get to here. And the first one is

588
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: your Malvarez has been shut down after experiencing renewed soreness.

589
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: I think it's time to stick a fork in Alvarez.

590
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: The question is how do the Astros react because they

591
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: have to they have to get another bat now somewhere

592
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: in the trade market. Who do you think it is?

593
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: And is Alvarez being toast potentially this year mean that

594
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: the Astros might fade here when we get to July, August, September.

595
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: It's all good questions.

596
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: You know.

597
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 2: If they were like the Braves right now, I think

598
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: they'd be selling off. But they're not. They're division leader.

599
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 2: They've still got some of their pitch. I think they're

600
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: a weird team. I think they're super weird. I actually

601
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 2: think they could lose this division. I think they've got

602
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: a weird collective of pieces. They don't have the best

603
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 2: minor league system, so they're going to have to The

604
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 2: thing that works well for them is they would have

605
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 2: to trade assets because all these assets are close to

606
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: the majors. They're all like Triple A ish type of guys,

607
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: so you would but they don't have a lot of pitching,

608
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: so you'd have to take a guy or to. What

609
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 2: I think this team ends up doing is they make

610
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: like a smaller trade. They pick up a smaller.

611
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: Guy because they've they've also got Garcia coming back, Hoavier

612
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: coming back, Arraghetti coming back. I'm not saying they want

613
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: to trade one of those guys, but they could. Like,

614
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: if you're the Baltimore Orioles, would you take Christian Javier

615
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: coming back from Tommy John next year for o'hearne and Mullens.

616
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: Maybe, but I yeah, that's a possibility, like a major

617
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: league for major league help. Now, yeah, that's actually Baltimore.

618
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: That's actually kind of you know what I'm saying, But

619
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: that's the true That's what I'm looking at. Like, I

620
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: think Ryan O'Hearn is the the cap of the type

621
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: of player that they can get, and I think it's

622
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: a one. He might not be the best because it's

623
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: like Alvarez probably has to come back in d H,

624
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: so they need someone to make sure that they're in,

625
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: you know, game, They might need an outfield, but I

626
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: think that's the type I think they'll they'll unless this

627
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: is even worse, which, by the way, the Astros are

628
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: like wild, big fat liars. You've got Jeremy Pania who

629
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: they're like, it's a small fracture how much they have

630
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: not been truth to you, I know, with how untruthful

631
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: they've been. Jeremy painea could be out for the season.

632
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: We don't really know what Alvarez is. I think they're

633
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: in a weird spot that maybe they make a small move.

634
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 2: I think this division is like gettable across the board,

635
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: but I don't think they can make a giant move

636
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: like you would try to speculate is a really good name.

637
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: If you're them, because it's dirtchy probably at this point,

638
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: and the White Sox probably just want out And he's

639
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: just saying, you know what, it's actually like just he

640
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: filled the outfield bug there. I just don't think you're

641
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna get like, maybe just get Robert out of Chicago,

642
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: Like just get him out of Chicago and see what happens.

643
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's actually a really good fit, by the way,

644
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: more that you say that, just because like you know,

645
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: that's where they probably want to fill from. And maybe

646
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: I think I might need some shortstop help too with

647
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: Payne if he's down for a little bit. But like

648
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: you could probably give the White Sox just one of

649
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: like a Jacob Melton or a Shay one of those

650
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: like Triple A.

651
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: They just brought him up right this week, yes, Ray.

652
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yah. They've given all those guys like a little

653
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: bit of a little look. So that's actually all right.

654
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: As Welsh mentioned earlier, Chris Sale goes to the sixty dail.

655
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: It's procedural, but it also tells you, like the latter part,

656
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: August is when you're getting it back. So this is crushing.

657
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: He was so good, well, ch after a bad April,

658
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: he was so good. I tell you he re really

659
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: had a shot at the cy Young again. That's how

660
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: good he was.

661
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: Especially nothing they gave us to Grom and they took

662
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: Sale away. Both can't live in the same sphere. It's

663
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: a Highlander situation with it.

664
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: Give me the only one. Royce Lewis had a double

665
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: and three at bats in his return from the injury

666
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: list yesterday. Tyler Glassnell is going to make another start

667
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: tomorrow and he's targeting seventy five pitches five innings. That's

668
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: what they're targeting. That's what they're hoping for, and he

669
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: could potentially be his final one before we're turning next

670
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: week for the Dodgers. So faster than we thought. We

671
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: thought it might be two more rehab starts. I'm not

672
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: surprised they're trying to get him back up to the

673
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: big leagues. Let's hope the vlosit is good. Let's hope

674
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: he looks good in this one's let's hope for seventy

675
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: five pitches in five innings and then actually works out.

676
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: Blake Snell is scheduled to face hitters today in live BP.

677
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes. Remember Wednesday, we always have

678
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: our live stream. Joe Ricos joining the Welsh Day on

679
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel four o'clock Eastern to take your questions

680
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: because I am going to the beach for July fourth

681
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: and having some fun. Grayson Rodriguez through a bullpen session

682
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, if you're still looking forward to him coming back.

683
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Tovar progressed to hitting off of a just batting practice,

684
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: excuse me. And then Raphael Devers has been playing through

685
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: groin and back tightness and Josh Nayler continues to struggle

686
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: with that neck issue keeping him off the field. And

687
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: as everybody said in the chat a million times, Brandon woodriff,

688
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: which is funny because now it has so many ailments,

689
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, like when you see like a player and

690
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: it's like this guy obleak in parentheses, like now it's

691
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: Brandon woodriff, shoulder, ankle, elbow, so many things are wrong

692
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: with him. Well, Sunday he's gonna make his debut, that

693
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: debut against the Marlins. So Welsh, you're gonna start him

694
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: against the Marlins first start out? Huh, you gotta take that.

695
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: You gotta let it run a right, Come on, what

696
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: do you gonna do that?

697
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 2: It's a start that I'm kind interested in. You know what,

698
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: I think I will?

699
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: I think I will.

700
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 2: He had He's had four hundred starts to train for

701
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: this day, so I don't care if they're minor league

702
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: or not. I think he's ready. God, Brandon Woodroff, he's

703
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: gonna get hit by a seagull. Some seagull is gonna

704
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: just like fly into his face and he's gonna go

705
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 2: on the aisle. It's gonna be something crazy that happen.

706
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: Brda Woodroff. Heads shoulders kneeds in to. That's kind of

707
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: what it looks like. Oh but don't worry, Brandon Woodroff.

708
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure at some point something will go wrong, and

709
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: then when it does, I'll be waiting for you, Brandon Woodruff.

710
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: I'll be waiting for you back in rehab. Come back

711
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: to us, Brandon. It's safe and warm here in rehab.

712
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: We have lots of towels and blankets and ice packs

713
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: for your many ailments, whatever ails you, Brandon Woodroff, no matter,

714
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: rehabit the place you will return to enjoy your start

715
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: in the major leagues, because someday again, soon you'll be back.

716
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: You'll be back. No one escapes rehab for long.

717
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: You know what we need? Do you see the movie

718
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 2: as a horror movie called drag Me? I know it

719
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: was like we need like, oh, I watch them all

720
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: the there's the artwork where like the girls being pulled down.

721
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: We need that and Brandon Woodruf's face on it and

722
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: it's dragged me back to rehab. That's what That's what

723
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: I need.

724
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: Shout out to Cookie Jobs and just resub with Prime,

725
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: and also to uh Fotimus Prime who contributed ten channel points. Hey,

726
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: I said that right. Why are you laughing at me?

727
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to do that name when I'm gone

728
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks.

729
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: No, No, you did great, You're you're doing great.

730
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: All right. Let's get to the best bets of the

731
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: day with Joey p and the Welsh. My bet got

732
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: rained out yesterday with the Mets playing doubleheader today, but

733
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: get to watch Miserowski. That's fun, right, sort of kind

734
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: of it's fun because they'll make me money hopefully. But

735
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: Mets in a bad spot. They got Paralta today and Miserowski.

736
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: So instead, let's pivot. We're just pivoting away from games. Instead,

737
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: we're going for a big strikeout day. Hunter Brown over

738
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: six and a half strikeouts, let's start there. Hunter Brown's

739
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: been great this year. He's got the Colorado Rockies. You

740
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: know what that means, big time strikeouts. Let's go over there.

741
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert six and a half strikeouts plus one oh

742
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: four against the Kansas City Royals, so we're gonna take

743
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: the over there, and the over for Clayton Kershaw just

744
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: four and a half against the lowly White Sox at

745
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: minus one twenty eight. So those are my three bets,

746
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: all k props all day today on Wednesday, Welsh, what

747
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: do you have for the people?

748
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: I'm with you on the Hunter Brown one. That one

749
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 2: just jumps out for everybody, So get on that before

750
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: any of those numbers move. Colora Rockies stink, So Hunter

751
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: Brown over six and a half strikeouts for show Sandy

752
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: go in game one. I like the first five money

753
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: line that is Nick Pivetta. So I'm backing Nick Pavetta.

754
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: So just straight up money line, some tiny bit juice,

755
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: but I really like that number, especially that we're not

756
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 2: playing the run line. I am gonna play a run line,

757
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: but it's a no run first inning in the second

758
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 2: game San Diego Philly, where I believe that is Cese

759
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: and Chris Sanchez holding it down for the first inning,

760
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: So nurfy in Game two of San Diego Philly, San

761
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: Diego first five money line in game one, one hundred

762
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: round strikeouts. Those are my best bets. Pulling it back

763
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: after a bad day yesterday betting against Gallen. Gallen got me,

764
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: So let's get it back today.

765
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, don't forget bet five bucks win two

766
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: fifty over on FanDuel. When you go to Fancy Pros

781
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,479
Speaker 1: next couple of days, so I'm taking my dear friend

782
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: Sho Hao Tani in perpetuity for today throughout the weekend.

783
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: I know he's pitching Sunday, but he can also hit

784
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: because Major League Baseball make special rules for special people,

785
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: and he's my special boy. Is my special boy? Where

786
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 1: are you going for your home run call today? Welsh?

787
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: Isn't it cool that he can get both stats in

788
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: one game in real baseball, but we can't in fantasy.

789
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 2: You have to start with one spot. You don't you

790
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: don't get both.

791
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: Don't get me, don't get me started about that. You

792
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: know it's funny because you know that one of the

793
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: things I hate, or a couple things I hate in

794
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: fantasy football. One is tight end premium, and the other thing.

795
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: That I'm also not a fan of tight end so dumb.

796
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: And then the other thing is third round reversal. Third

797
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: round reversal started because at one point in time Ladanian

798
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: Tomlinson was so good and so much better than everybody

799
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: else that if you had him, it was like having

800
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: two players. So they created this thing called the third

801
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: round reversal. But it doesn't make any sense anymore. It's stupid.

802
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have it anymore because nobody's like that.

803
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's relevant.

804
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: Tani is the one guy where you could actually make

805
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: an argument that a third round reversal is smart, because

806
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 1: when you have Otani, it is having literally two players.

807
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: Now you know when he's healthy, So that's that's that's it.

808
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ran, but.

809
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: I still think I agree with you in all those

810
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: I think third round reversal is stupid. I think tight

811
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: end premium, you think.

812
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: Having him split his two players is still stupid.

813
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: To the dumbest thing on the planet. The dumbest thing

814
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 2: ever is having him two separate players and not making

815
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: him one is insanely stupid.

816
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: Do you think so much would get their second pick, Like,

817
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 1: how do you penalize that? Because you want to keep

818
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: you want to keep fairness in the league. Let's say

819
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to do a third round reversal, but

820
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: you have Showayotani and there's this this unicorn player, right,

821
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: he's a pitcher, he's a hitter. He's dominant at both,

822
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: arguably the best hitter in the league, on top of

823
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: one of the top fifteen pitchers in the league. So

824
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: how do you penalize the person? Will make it fair

825
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: for the rest of the league. If somebody has the

826
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: one pick and they take Otani, sure there's risk, but

827
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: it's also like you're getting two players in one So

828
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: would you take away say the third round pick or

829
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: whatever the value of Otani the quote unquote pittcher would

830
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: be like, as like a fairness to say, like you're

831
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: getting the points or getting stats from two guys, Like,

832
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: it's not really fair for the rest of the league.

833
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's only it only works like that in a

834
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 2: daily league. In a weekly league, you really actually really

835
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: never use Otani as a pitcher. He's just a hitter.

836
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: It's just a no little my weekly league, you use

837
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: him as both. He accruise points for both.

838
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, see, I don't play like that. And that's

839
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 2: where I was going to say, if no matter where

840
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: he is, he accruse both regardless, that's a different discussion.

841
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: I think the third round reversal. If you need fairness,

842
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: that's the you don't pitch.

843
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: Picks the second it's a second pick. Overall, they're like, man,

844
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't get Otani and I don't get to pick

845
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: her anything like that.

846
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 2: That is true that I don't feel like that's fair either.

847
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 2: Really just do the whole thing normal. But it would

848
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: be nice if like you didn't have to switch in

849
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: between positions. But that's baseball for you. Ellie day La

850
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 2: Cruz is where I'm gonna go. By the way, I'm

Speaker 1: I didn't know this, but apparently Kaisa Trex uh is

862
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,200

864
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: month where Welsh I thought was gonna have to do one,

865
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: one or two? Where you when I was going, I

866
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: think I know did in Arizona. I think you probably did.

867
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 2: Wonder I think I did two. I think I've done

868
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: two so far this year.

869
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: I never got any more so the bummer, But what

870
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: do you get into? So all those side effects, at

871
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: least for now, are gone. Maybe next year they'll return.

872
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: You never know. That'll do it for us, But the
