Visit Honda dot com slash ev 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.239 to see authors. 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:33.720 Hello, everybody, Welcome back in to the third segment of 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.840 the cycle. This week, I am once again Mike mahyor 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.000 still Mike Maher and I am joined once again by 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.279 Kelly Kirby and Kelly, how are you doing and are 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.680 you ready to close out this week's series of the cycle. 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.720 Yeah, I think I'm doing better and better than More Awake. 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.800 I'm way better than worm but uh yeah, No, I'm 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.080 doing well and I'm excited to close it out because 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.240 I love talking pitching, so this should be great. 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.280 I do too in a bunch of leagues where I 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.360 stream pitching by a choice or necessity, or I just 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.840 do it to torture myself. But I like kind of 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.480 targeting matchups that I like. Sometimes I'll do like a 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:12.880 week or two in advance, see if I can kind 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.800 of sneak pitchers in that way, Like we talked in 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.320 a previous video, I kind of snuck Tony Gonsolin in 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.160 before people were thinking about him. That went very well 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.200 twayas Myers not going so well for me. But yeah, 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.640 let's get right into it. We often use when we 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.240 when we talk pitching streamers, we kind of go day 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.039 by day because some people like to We've heard, you know, 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.920 some requests. Some people like to have pitching streamers for 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:36.679 every day because they're in daily, daily leagues and they 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.520 can just kind of like rotate through or pick which 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.680 ones they want, whether they have like daily transactions or 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.920 just daily lineups. They like to have daily options, and 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.840 so we break it down. We start with Monday, go 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:46.840 all the way through through Sunday, and we use the 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.120 Fantasy Pro's Pitching Streamer tool, which is a really cool 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.160 tool that we have on the site where you can 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.880 just put it, you know, open it up, you sink 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.080 your leagues, and it shows you who's available in your 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.240 league and their matchup and whether or not it's a 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.000 good or bad matchup, and you know some recent will 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.559 but numbers and so yeah, it's very useful for someone 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:06.800 like me. Streams pretty consistently, and so let's get right 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.480 into it. Kelly, you are the person who put the 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.960 names in the sheet, so I will toss it over 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.560 to you and we can start going through starting with Monday. 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.720 Who who do you like to stream this week? 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.240 Yeah, I thought it was really interesting. The top VBR 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.040 pitcher on Monday is Matthew Boyd for the Cubs up 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.120 against San Francisco. But it's at home, so I wanted 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.320 to pick that one. But being at home makes me 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.680 a little bit nervous about that game if the wind 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.560 is blowing out, which it seems to have been a 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.720 lot this year. So I actually jumped down, and you know, 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.840 this will be the only white sock that I probably 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:44.280 ever recommend. But I'm curious about streaming Shane Smith against 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:49.520 Kansas City. I think that he matches up okay with them, 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.480 and you know, he's got twenty six strikeouts and thirty 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.519 two innings easy areas two point two three, whip is 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.760 one o eight. So I've just I thought that he 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.120 would be a good option just to see if Kansas 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.600 City is continuing to struggle to get on base that 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.120 he could provide some value. 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.280 Yeah, I like Shane Smith a lot. I edited him 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.440 in a few Dynasty leagues, either earlier the season or 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.960 right before the season started. I watched him pitch earlier 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.679 in the year and I was just really impressed. I 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.639 think the wheels kind of came off late in that game, 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.560 but he may have just been in there a little 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:21.880 bit too long. But I remember watching it and I 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.359 was like, this guy's pretty good. You know, I kind 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:24.520 of like them. What I'm see here, he's got some 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.679 juice and yeah, I'm seeing here in the phantash prost 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.800 Pitcher streaming tool that the Kansas City Royals are highlighted 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.280 in green, and green means good. As we know, it 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.480 does look like he's wind up going against called Reagan's. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.640 But if Reagan's is going to make that start though, 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.800 we're not sure, so yeah, would probably wouldn't want to 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.640 line up against him. But also we don't know if 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.480 I think Reagan's throwing a bullpen today, possibly right now 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.920 while we're talking called Reagan's throwing a bullpen session to 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.040 see that sort growing fields, which I feel like he 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.520 probably should have just gone on the IL. But you know, 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.400 I'm not a magor league manager. I don't always Usually 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.760 it's the opposite. I'm targeting, targeting the white Socks offense, 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.800 and I'm pitching streaming pitchers. But you know, i'd like 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.960 a Shane Smith. I can get down with that. Some 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.000 other name is potentially available in your leagues for Monday. 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:14.440 Are Matthew Boyd. Maybe he's doing all right, not too bad. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.799 He's he's available in some leagues, maybe not some others. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.239 It took like twenty six percent consensus roster. It's probably 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.480 dragged down by ESPN a little bit. I don't want 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.520 to do a landing route against the Cubs. Tobias Myers 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.160 one more time, Tobias Myers against the Astros struggling off 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:36.240 Astros offense. I will be streaming Tobias Myers. I don't 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.240 even know if you can consider it streaming if I 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.080 stream the guy every week because he's just on my 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:40.760 teams right now. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:42.440 Yep. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.960 I also like an HJA Smith Shaver, who's been picturing 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.920 really well. He's got the Reds, but not in Cincinnati, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.320 so that's good at Cincinnati, bad against Cincinnati somewhere else good. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.559 But that's enough about Monday. Let's go over to Tuesday. 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:58.440 Who do you got for Tuesday? 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.880 On Tuesday? In our last segment, we called Stephen Matt's 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.880 a pitcher who exists, and on Tuesday he is facing 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.800 Pittsburgh at home. So I and he he is not 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.000 rostered very many places. So I feel like that that's 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:20.160 a decent streamer, just again Pittsburgh versus lefties. He could 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.560 function as a major league pitcher, maybe get you a win. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.360 So that's who I'm going with. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.760 I was surprised to see he already has twenty four 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.039 innings pitched. I feel like he just came back. But 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:31.640 I guess he had been in the bullpen and now 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.120 he's just now starting because I thought he was like 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.360 hurt and I came back, but I was like, how 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:36.680 does this guy have twenty four innings pitch? But he 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.080 was in the bullpen and now he's starting. He's made 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:42.080 two starts. But yeah, so far, so good. If you 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.479 want to talk yourself out of it, you know, we 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.479 talked to the previous segment about looking at like fip 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.120 X PIP Sierra. The pick the one you want right 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.719 now is ERA is one point five and if you're 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.720 pro Stephen Mattz, his FIP is one point eight nine. 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.000 If you're anti Steven Matts, his X fips three point 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.960 four nine. So it depends on you know which narrative 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.440 you're trying to spin, but I do like it. I'd 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.760 like the matchup. You know, the Pirates are a bottom 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.640 five offense according to our pictures streaming tool, so again, 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.839 not the not the worst options. How about Wednesday? 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:21.440 On Wednesday, I have Michael Waka if he's available. I 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.920 think his roster percentage is slightly higher, so he might 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.360 not be, but in some leagues he might be sitting 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.000 out there and he gets the White Sox at home. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.920 So I will take that all day long. 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.040 Yeah, that's the classic strategy of going against the White 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.920 Sox offense when you can, as opposed to targeting their pictures. Yeah. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.159 I'm not the biggest Michael Waka fan. I don't know 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.919 that there are a ton of really big Michael Waker 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.479 fans out there. But you know, again, he's a guy 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.120 he's been like. He's like a high floor, low ceiling 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.560 kind of guy who he probably won't get you killed, 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.200 but he's not gonna He doesn't strike out a ton 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.080 of batters. So though twenty six and thirty two innings, 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.240 it's that's fine. You know, it's not bad it might 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:02.920 might may be able to get more out of the 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.560 the White Sox. I do want to mention I forgot 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:09.880 to mention when I was talking before about Stephen Matt again, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.560 that ideal does look like he's lined up to go 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.400 against Paul Skins, and that doesn't that doesn't always matter 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:15.920 with the Pirates because a lot of times they just 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.840 do don't give him any run support. So maybe that's 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.400 actually a good thing. Maybe you know, you'll have to 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.000 deal with like five or six shot out anings form 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.400 Paul Skins, But then you know, as long as you 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.680 don't give up a ton of unds, maybe you still 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:30.240 get a win. Other names for Windsday. Let's see, I'm 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.200 not seeing a lot of other intriguing options. Quinn Priester 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.720 against the Astros. I've I've not enjoyed the Quinn Priester 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.040 experience so far, so I'm probably not gonna dive back 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:44.080 into that. He's someone I've streamed recently, Probably not gonna, 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.480 probably not gonna go with that one. Probably I'd rather 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:51.320 go with a Michael Waka Tanner Hawk against the Rangers. 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.000 I'm not ready to get hurt by Tanner Halck yet Again, 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:55.920 He's looked. He looked better in his most recent start, 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.320 but I'm not ready to get hurt again. We talk 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.840 about low Lawyer, there's a low floor there. We saw 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.840 it well. Yeah, I like the option of Waka against 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.720 the White Sox. You rarely go wrong targeting the White 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.640 Sox because the bad start against White Sox is not 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.840 like a bad start against the Doctors. They are different, 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.040 different realms. Thursday we have blank. It seems like we 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:17.880 don't like Thursday. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.560 We don't like Thursday. First, there's just a lot of 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.280 there's a lot of players who are just highly rostered going. 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.560 So that's where it gets a little bit trickier. And 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:29.560 you know, the only one that I was kind of 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.680 interested in was Joisey Soriano against Toronto at home. But 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.880 that's not not enough that I would want to pick 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:35.839 him up and stream. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.880 Him Thursday small slate day. So that's that's kind of 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.200 where we're run into trouble there. I do want to 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:48.040 double check one thing though, Sugano going up against the Twins, 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.840 but it looks like that may have changed. I think 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.120 it changed, so it looks like we had Sugano on Saturday, 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:57.840 but they have changed their rotation. So it looks like 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:03.120 Sugano is going to are He's no longer starting Saturday 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.160 against the Angels. He's now starting Thursday against the Twins. 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.240 So not to spoil our Saturday pick, but it was 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.920 tell me, Yuki Sigano, do you still like him as 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.079 a Thursday streamer against the Twins or are you out 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.400 now that it's not the Angels? 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:19.120 No? 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:20.880 I mean I yeah, because I saw him on here 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.400 and I thought that seemed interesting that I hadn't looked 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.480 at him. But in Minnesota right now, with this like 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:31.160 it's been pretty cold, it's been pretty like crappy weather overall, 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.120 so I don't hate it. They've been struggling a little 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.839 bit too, so so the I I could stream him 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:37.320 for that one. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.120 Okay, Yeah, Thursday, smallest light day, not a whole lot 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.240 out there. There's a few bigger names pitching, so that 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:50.480 also decreases the available streamers. Other names Brian Bayo. He 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.240 pitched pretty well in his first start, but still kind 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.200 of like, kind of tough to trust, even though it 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.719 is against the Rangers. But of Courseiger will be back 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.559 by then, so it will be a rain offense with 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.520 Corey Seeger and without Jake Berger. You don't get that 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:03.400 free out anymore. 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:05.240 Yeah. 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.520 Other than that, like Jack Lider, I'm not I'm not 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.079 getting down with Jack Lider against the Red Sox in Boston. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:12.840 Not that the Red Sox offense has been great, but 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.319 anything can happen in Fenway Park. So I'm not trying 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.720 to take that risk with the Jack Lder stream. And 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.720 everyone else is either going to be not available or 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.760 I'm not interested. So let's jump over to Friday. Where 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:27.520 do you got for Friday? 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.920 On Friday, I have Jose Kintana. I laugh because I 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.679 laugh because Kantana and Matt's are like the same picture 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.680 in my brain, just that lefty that you're like, oh yeah, 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.320 so apparently he is still here. He's I don't love 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.320 the matchup against He's in Tampa against Tampa, but he's 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.640 also just he's in kind of one of those modes 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.320 he gets in where he's just firing and and and 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.520 getting people out, and so I feel like that's a 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.960 winnable game for the Brewers and and I don't mind. Yeah, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.640 I would be fine streaming him, I guess, you know, 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.200 since I know it's hard when Patrick Corman is also 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.080 on the list, but I would stick with Kintana on 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:07.360 that one. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:09.959 Yeah, Like at some point the wheels are going to 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.240 come off for Jose Cantana. You just have to hope 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.880 you're not. You know, it's like hot potato. You're not 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.720 the one holding You're not the one holding the Jose 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.520 Antana when he when he goes off. He's an interesting one. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.520 I like I've mentioned, I feel if it was last 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.599 week three before, Like I'm streaming him everywhere. He was 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.880 like a two star pitcher. I need a pitching I 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.600 need a volume. I'm just streaming him and so far 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.560 it's going great. But I know this is not a 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.719 long term fix. And he's a fun one. If you 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.079 wanted to talk about ERA and expected numbers ERA one 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.400 point one four, Sierra four point sixty five x CIRA 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.240 four point four two, x FIT four point three one, 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.439 and then FIP three point three six a little bit lower. 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:47.599 The big thing for him is keeping the ball in 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.800 the ballpark. His home run to fly ball rate is 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.439 just four percent, which also but he's like a he 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.240 keeps the ball on the ground like almost he's all. 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.480 He's like a forty five percent plus groundball rate guy, 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.240 which is good. And if you're going to pitch in 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.840 that ten time a ballpark in Tampa, you're gonna need 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.680 to keep the ball on the ground. So yeah, I 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.320 don't love the matchup being in Tampa, but the Rays 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.880 offense is not the most terrifying right now, not a 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.199 ton of power to really scare you, all right. So 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.560 Jose Katana someone that I have been streaming for a while. 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.440 I haven't been a bunch of leagues kind of out 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.760 of necessity, and so far, so good, and we like 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.760 him for this week. We like him for the matchup 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.080 that he gets the Tampa offense, which is not scary, 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.720 but he's in Tampa, which is scary. But he keeps 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.400 the ball on the ground, which is good. Home runs bad, 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.200 ball on the ground good. So Jose Katana probably can 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.720 get a ton of strikeouts, but hopefully this is not 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.480 the week that he turns back into a pumpkin. So 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.760 we originally had Tomoyuki Sagano on Saturday, but we had 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.240 to remove him because he got moved to Thursday. So 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:52.920 I'm going to put you on the spot here. Let's 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.120 do it in real time. Is there anyone else that 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.640 we like for Saturday? And in previous weeks we've actually 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.880 avoided Friday for two weeks in a row because we're 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.800 a good point a few weeks ago of you know, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.040 we like to stream, we can stream it. You know, 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:06.960 we're going to look at streaming options for every day. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.120 But sometimes the best option is just to stream nobody. 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.800 Sometimes streaming no one is better than streaming a bad picture. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:15.800 But that being said, on short notice, is there anyone 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.840 on Saturday that sticks out now that we had to 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:18.439 move to Ghana? 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.960 How afraid of Edward Cabrera are we? Because he pitches 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:23.920 against the White Sox. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:30.199 White Sox. That's always uh, that's always you know, a 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.600 decent approach. If you just stream against the White Sox. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.640 There are worse strategies. 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.120 Assuming Rangers war is back. It says he's listed to 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.440 go up against Cleveland, But I don't know if we 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.160 want to play that card yet, So yeah, on the spot, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.560 I mean, unless you need it, I don't carera against 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.720 the White Sox is the only one that I would consider, 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.040 and even then I think I would probably pass on it. 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.680 I would mention this so well Monday, you mentioned Shane Smith. 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.160 If you're in a weekly league and you have to 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.160 lock Shane Smith in two star pitcher and a second 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.080 starting against the Marlins. I don't hate that. I don't 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.200 hate that at all. I always like streaming two start 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.160 star pictures because then you're streaming for volume, so I 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.040 don't hate that. And then also, uh, I think this 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.840 is gonna change. I think we had Ben Casparius as 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.280 a two star picture, but I think that has changed. Yeah, 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.280 it's unlikely to be a two star picture now. But 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.520 like we said before, originally it was against it was 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:30.680 at Miami, and then against the Diamondbacks. I'm okay missing 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.920 that Diamondbacks start, so no problems there. And then what 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.720 about for Sunday. 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:42.520 I went with Lucas Giolito again, going back against Kansas 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:46.040 City on the road. We talked in a previous segment 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.400 that I'm not a I'm not a big Delaitle fan, 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.640 but I do think that that matchup is al right, 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.520 so I would do that. I kind of like land 0:14:55.560 --> 0:15:00.800 and Rope Rope against the Twins, but either one those 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.440 are those will be my two streamers that I see 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:04.080 on the page. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.080 Yeah, and Lucas Giolido, like like we talked about in 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.240 our first segment of the week, our first video of 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.400 the week, he looked good in that first you know, 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.400 especially for the first start back if you're missing him 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.960 basically two years. He was locating well until the very end. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.280 It was like, you know, he was one strike away 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.560 from six shot out innings and like having a phenomenal 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.760 first start, and then like ended up walking. I think 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.640 George Springer he had Donn varshow O two and then 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.320 he just like he tried to bury a change up 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:30.600 and he just left it right over the middle of 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.320 the play to run home run. And then Alejandro Kirk 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.160 also hit home run, and he ended up you know, 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.560 he still escaped with the quality start, but he was 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.240 like one strike away from a really good start, and 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:41.640 I think there was even a point there where he 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.400 got squeezed on a potential strike three that like really 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.840 could have gone the other way. Yeah, I don't, I don't. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.720 I'm not like super in on Giolito, but I do 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.600 think he was intriguing enough in that first start that 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:55.680 you can't target him here against the Royals, Kyle Gibson 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.840 at the Angels without Mike Drout, no Mike Trout, but 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.720 it is Kyle Gibson. You have any interests of Cayle Gibson, I. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:03.960 Have no interest in Kyle Gibson. 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:08.520 Oh, come on, Tyler Anderson on the other side, Tyler 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:09.560 Anderson against the Orioles. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.600 I mean, I'm probably more on his side, but even again, 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.560 I don't really want anything to do with either one 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:16.240 of them. If I can. 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:21.200 Completely cromulent Tyler Anderson worm Worm likes when I make 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.360 Simpsons references because he's actually never seen The Simpsons. So 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.160 I like to squeeze the Simpsons reference in whenever I can. 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.840 My default is just to call someone cromulant, because that's 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.080 at least the reference that he knows. Now, I'm trying 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.840 to find a good time to squeeze in the like 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.000 the Mark McGuire reference. I don't know if you've watched 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:39.960 The Simpsons, but have. 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.880 You ever seen Mark mcgu I know, I don't think there's. 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.440 A whole Baseball episode from like way back when where 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.240 they're saying, they say, like Mark, major League Baseball is 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.960 like spying on people, And eventually at the end they 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.040 send like Mark McGuire in like on a helicopter and 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:58.240 they're like they're asking Mark McGuire why major League Baseball 0:16:58.280 --> 0:16:59.920 is spying on them, and he's like, do you want 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.880 I know the harrifying truth or do you want to 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.360 see me hit a few dingers and they're like dingers 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.119 and so he just like takes the evidence on the 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.000 berries in his hat and he starts like hitting home runs. 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.960 You know, great reference. Okay, so those are our pitching 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.200 streamers for the week. And we got our Simpsons reference 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.400 out of the way as well. So two really good 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.600 segments to knock out there. And now we have our 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.520 two star pitcher competition that Worm and I do head 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.720 to head every week. I didn't update the previous week. 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.960 I'm going we'll wait until Worm is back to tally it. 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.359 He likes to look at the league settings, and last 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.560 year we do it by like the points from like 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.480 a league that Worm is in for, like the points category, 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.560 like to track all the points for that I am 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.360 now in that league, so I can see the points. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.119 I think there are some wacky settings, but overall, you know, 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.359 it's fine. There's some like outfield assists points that I 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.159 don't care for, but that doesn't really a point, you know, 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:50.960 impact the pitching thing. But you know, I won't complain 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.760 about it. But for this week, you'll be filling in 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.560 and we'll wait till Worm's back to tally the results. 0:17:56.560 --> 0:18:00.000 But who are you going with for your two Stars 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.240 picture of the week? And I will say it was 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.400 almost someone that Worm had as a backup a couple 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.359 of weeks ago, because I looked at Country Brown that 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.840 might not make two starts, but he didn't, so Brce Miller, 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.520 who I almost said the name. I did say the name. 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:15.479 So tell me why you are targeting pitching on one 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.960 of those ballparks that is very pro offense right now? 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.919 Yeah, I just looked over. I kind of went with 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:26.480 two things. One, I was trying to figure out who 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.320 wouldn't mind me taking off the board for him? But 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.480 then too, yeah, he's he's at He's at the Athletics, 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.560 which is a not a great ballpark to go in, 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:41.120 but I liked it paired with facing Toronto at home, 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.000 which was super green on our two Star Pitchers tool, 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.120 So that was that was the option. I looked at 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:53.560 yours and and almost picked it, but I just went 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.159 the other way. So that's really all I've got on it. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.880 I just didn't know who. I didn't know who Worm 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.919 would mind me stealing, and considering that I don't want 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:04.040
