Speaker 1: Leading off starts right now. Welcome on everybody. I am
Speaker 1: Chris Welsh. Thank you for hanging out with us over
Speaker 1: on Fantasy pros. Joining me today is the one the
Speaker 1: only Casey Bubba in the house. Bubba, what's up?
Speaker 2: Brother Tom much my friend? Thanks for having me back
Speaker 2: once again. Gonna be a fun Thursday of baseball talk.
Speaker 2: Is this is a day for you. It feels like
Speaker 2: a lot of good stuff in your neck of the woods.
Speaker 2: So some fun stuff to talk about.
Speaker 1: Not just Diamondbacks, but lots of prospect lots of prospect
Speaker 1: talk out there. Trevor Rodgers wonky can feel good. Trevor
Speaker 1: Rodgers did actually pitch like a pitcher again, going six,
Speaker 1: striking out five, giving up only one earned run. So
Speaker 1: there you go. There's some happiness and there's lots of
Speaker 1: fun prospect talk that we can get to, like Gunner
Speaker 1: Henderson doing a little bit of a thing like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, a home run with you see that
Speaker 1: hair come out.
Speaker 3: I was about to say, you want to make a
Speaker 3: man jealous.
Speaker 2: I can't tell if it's the home run because he's
Speaker 2: a professional ball player or just the locks the flow.
Speaker 2: It was like Fabio wished he could be a baseball player.
Speaker 1: It was like like someone's got to just do like
Speaker 1: a slow mo video, because is it the helmet came out.
Speaker 1: It was like the blonde hair just flows out. The
Speaker 1: helmet fell off as he crushed a homer in his
Speaker 1: first one goes around the bases. I mean, is the
Speaker 1: bald choice or is it by choice? Or is it
Speaker 1: by necessity? Bubba? Because how deep is the U is
Speaker 1: the jealousy for Gunner Henderson?
Speaker 2: So we're going here this early in the morning. Huh Okay,
Speaker 2: I got you. No, it's it's it's both. No, it's
Speaker 2: a it's a necessity because otherwise I looked like hul
Speaker 2: Cogan minus the school at part.
Speaker 1: Oh. Brother, all right, brother, that's very good. I like
Speaker 1: that Gunnar did go to for four, living up to
Speaker 1: kind of the big prospect prowess. You know, him and
Speaker 1: Corby Carrol, the top two guys. They've been doing it
Speaker 1: and they've been I mean, obviously gun has only done
Speaker 1: it one game. Cortven has done it over a couple
Speaker 1: of games. And some good early performance you're getting from
Speaker 1: some of the young guys. So the question is usually yes,
Speaker 1: you know, should I cut? So yes, probably it's gonna
Speaker 1: be pretty easy. And Gunnan was brought up one day
Speaker 1: before the cutoff, so he is postseason eligible. So if
Speaker 1: the Orioles were to make it, he can further his
Speaker 1: mystique and the allure of the legend. If you will
Speaker 1: have Gunner Henderson, he can do that thing. So get
Speaker 1: him out. There's probably gonna play multiple positions. Probably not
Speaker 1: gonna help for next year as far as position eligibility.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a cool video that was out there
Speaker 1: and when he got the call up where the manager
Speaker 1: in tripa A was kind of like, all right, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: we were gonna have you play second these two days,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have you play first, and now you're not
Speaker 1: because you're going up to the majors. But it also
Speaker 1: proves how much they've been moving him around and where
Speaker 1: he can move around in the lineup. You're probably not
Speaker 1: gonna get a ton of that flexibility this year where
Speaker 1: he's gonna become eligible unless you play in Yahoo, which
Speaker 1: you know by next week you might have twelve different positions.
Speaker 1: But next year, you know, maybe he could be a
Speaker 1: little Jose Miranda with two or three other position eligibilities
Speaker 1: bub which.
Speaker 3: Is pretty darn sweet. I'd be a big fan of that.
Speaker 2: He's the showcase and the goods out the gate has
Speaker 2: been amazing this year, so I'm.
Speaker 3: Always a sucker for positional eligibility. Some people think it's overrated.
Speaker 2: I think it's tremendous and I'll be all over that
Speaker 2: before we go to the next topic.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 2: You mentioned Corbyn Carroll and I have to ask they
Speaker 2: sat him versus lefty yesterday.
Speaker 3: Is this going to be a thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be a big thing.
Speaker 1: The game before, I believe was a lefty as well,
Speaker 1: and they didn't sit him. If I'm remembering correctly, one
Speaker 1: of the first two games was against a lefty. They'll
Speaker 1: probably sit him a little bit because they've got a
Speaker 1: glut of outfield guys. I mean, I think that should
Speaker 1: be kind of expected. McCarthy has been on a freaking tear,
Speaker 1: alec Is good Stone, Garrett has even looked pretty solid.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna sit every single time. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a platoon or anything like that. I
Speaker 1: just don't think they're going to overwhelm him, and you
Speaker 1: know they're going to manage the bat. Still not gonna
Speaker 1: make him play. I don't think they want to push
Speaker 1: it up to like one twenty or anything like that.
Speaker 1: You know, right up to the edge. You never know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the game. So I don't
Speaker 1: think so. But I know there was a lot of
Speaker 1: online chatter yesterday about like, you know, Corbyn sitting and
Speaker 1: watch these rookies sitting against you know, the opposite pitcher
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I just don't think it'll be crazy.
Speaker 1: But with that, would would that change your approach in
Speaker 1: valuing him the rest of this year if you had
Speaker 1: picked him.
Speaker 2: Up, if you're only covers righties, I'm still gonna want
Speaker 2: him quite a bit. The only time it'll stink is
Speaker 2: probably when he plays the Dodgers, because it seems like
Speaker 2: all they have her lefties. But pretty much any other
Speaker 2: series you're gonna be just fine. So it's not going
Speaker 2: to change my thoughts there. You're getting power, you're getting speed,
Speaker 2: even like four or five games that Carol could give
Speaker 2: you a couple bags each week, and who knows what
Speaker 2: other counting stats with it.
Speaker 1: I'll watch. You know, One thing I would wonder is
Speaker 1: if also a part of it is not just about
Speaker 1: the left because Wonky with some snide in her in
Speaker 1: the voice, talks about how how it was against Falter
Speaker 1: and you can't just sit anybody. You can't play anybody
Speaker 1: against Falter. Snark aside in that, I would point out
Speaker 1: that this is a guy that has played the entirety
Speaker 1: of the year. You're into September of time, that these
Speaker 1: guys usually aren't playing these team like a team like
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks. They're kind of seeing everybody. They're gonna play
Speaker 1: them most days. They might just be giving him a
Speaker 1: random day. It might not necessarily be about the matchup,
Speaker 1: could be wrong, you know, it could be another lefty
Speaker 1: they sit him towards. But you know, I don't think
Speaker 1: they want him to go every single game and press him.
Speaker 1: I think they just want to ease it kind of in.
Speaker 1: And you know, they got to get at bats for McCarthy.
Speaker 1: I think they want to see what they have in everybody.
Speaker 1: We know that Carol and Thomas are the outfield next year.
Speaker 1: They've got to make a decision on how they're going
Speaker 1: to approach a guy like varshow continuing him in the
Speaker 1: outfield or catching or dhing next season, and what you
Speaker 1: have with McCarthy and everything like that. So I'm not
Speaker 1: reading too much into it, but we'll know, you know,
Speaker 1: on the next lefty, the next lefty that the Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: are facing. You know, the new rookies performing at these
Speaker 1: high levels is super exciting. The old rookies not performing
Speaker 1: whatsoever is still a little bit depressing because this was
Speaker 1: a reminder of it. Spencer Torklsen was recalled on September first.
Speaker 1: Rosters are expanding today, so we're up to I believe
Speaker 1: it's twenty eight, twenty eight, Yeah, that's the number. And
Speaker 1: Spencer Toorkulsen coming up from Triple A, where he's been
Speaker 1: for what has it been like two months?
Speaker 3: It's been a long time. I almost forgot what he
Speaker 3: looked like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he almost forget all about him from ASU Spencer Torklsen.
Speaker 1: So far this season in Triple A, let's take a look.
Speaker 1: Has Biboo beeboo beebe two twenty nine with five homers,
Speaker 1: a stolen base, A three forty eight OBP has thirty
Speaker 1: hits in one hundred and thirty one at bats. I
Speaker 1: just don't know what happened. I don't know what happened, Bubba.
Speaker 1: He completely fell off I'm not looking to pick him
Speaker 1: up right now whatsoever. I think in Dynasty he's interesting
Speaker 1: as like a super super low buy. I think people
Speaker 1: are really upset about it and out. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I would be totally, but I have zero interest
Speaker 1: right now for this season. I'm not picking him up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, on hundred percent with you, I'm not going near him.
Speaker 2: Like it was sad because we're all excited at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the year that he's all he's starting with
Speaker 2: the team. Everyone's all into it. And when I heard
Speaker 2: the news yesterday that he's coming up, I'm like, yeah, good,
Speaker 2: hopefully it does well good for him, like do something
Speaker 2: like that meme where you poke the thing do something.
Speaker 3: But I'm yeah, I'm not going crazy one.
Speaker 1: Nope, I would go and pick up Miguel Vargas. Migel
Speaker 1: Vargas the Dodgers recalled, I hope they don't just have
Speaker 1: him sitting.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, I'm concerned about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that, and it's a possibility that he could just
Speaker 1: be sitting majority of the time. I mean, the playoffs
Speaker 1: in the you know, in the minor leagues are kind
Speaker 1: of coming to an in or at the end of
Speaker 1: the season at least it is, and they bring him up,
Speaker 1: I expect them to give him a little bit of run.
Speaker 1: And this is a prospect. I'm heavily and like, it's
Speaker 1: not quite Gunner interesson Corban Carroll, but it's like one
Speaker 1: be I like Miguel Vargas that much. He's that much
Speaker 1: of a bat on as far as how he gets
Speaker 1: on base, doesn't strike out a ton, makes tons of contact.
Speaker 1: He had a successful first run that then he just
Speaker 1: got pushed down to triple A. And I'm really really
Speaker 1: hoping I would be interested in a little bit of
Speaker 1: a pickup that he's going to get some time playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I hope he plays every day. Maybe it could
Speaker 2: be they just start resting guys because the've already pretty
Speaker 2: much locked up the West and he just has a
Speaker 2: utility type role potentially and moves around the diamond. You know,
Speaker 2: justin Turner could always use extra time off, he could
Speaker 2: age the bat's awesome. So yeah, if he plays a lot,
Speaker 2: it's a great move. I'm just concerned about playing time.
Speaker 1: Remember that thing where Dave Roberts was like, Hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna just sit Cody Bellinger a whole bunch and get
Speaker 1: him some time. That doesn't like happened, Like what should
Speaker 1: though to that? This would we should time for that.
Speaker 1: They're like, let him sit for a bit, get right
Speaker 1: or whatever. Get Miguel varguson. He's not going to be
Speaker 1: eligible I guess for the postseason because he's coming up today.
Speaker 3: Didn't he come up before though? Does that count or no?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. Did he get the official
Speaker 1: call up? Was it yesterday? No?
Speaker 3: I mean didn't he come up like a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks back.
Speaker 1: Ooh, that's a good question. Yeah, he did already make.
Speaker 2: A he played like a week or so he forgot
Speaker 2: I guess he would be eligible. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 2: how that works either. Does he have to be does
Speaker 2: he have to be actively on the roster for the
Speaker 2: first or just be called up before.
Speaker 1: The first that. It's a really good point. I'm not on.
Speaker 1: I'm here for because he technically did have major league
Speaker 1: time earlier in the year and got called back up.
Speaker 1: But I don't. I kind of feel like it's a
Speaker 1: gutt is gonna say you had to be on the
Speaker 1: active roster before September thirty first to be eligible for
Speaker 1: the playoffs.
Speaker 3: But that's fair Hey, chat, you got something to do
Speaker 3: for twenty minutes? Figure it out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yeah, someone let us know another rookie, Michael
Speaker 1: Tolia silent G. I talked about this in the actually
Speaker 1: in the AFL because it was one of those things
Speaker 1: where everyone was like Choglia, Choglia, but the announcers were
Speaker 1: saying Tolia, and you officially hurd it. So if you
Speaker 1: are thinking of him, Mike Tolia with the Colorado Rockies
Speaker 1: went two for four in his debut with a two
Speaker 1: run home run first in the BIGS. This is on
Speaker 1: Wednesday as a loss, and I believe it was in
Speaker 1: the ninth inning he hit that home run, and Tolia
Speaker 1: got a lot more of swing and miss in his game.
Speaker 1: He's a just a big, old burly dude who crushes balls.
Speaker 1: He can hit them crazy far, but I don't think
Speaker 1: he's gonna hit for high average, but he is going
Speaker 1: to get that little extra push being in Colorado. He
Speaker 1: actual reminds me of like a CJ. Cron type, So
Speaker 1: he's not really a guy I'm interested in. If I
Speaker 1: were like a points leek or something and I was
Speaker 1: just looking for big boppers, maybe I would try to
Speaker 1: pick him up right now long term, maybe we would
Speaker 1: take a look at him. But I'm not the biggest,
Speaker 1: totally a guy. But he did hit a homer and
Speaker 1: he's looked pretty good so far.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, he does look good. You mentioned the power
Speaker 2: that he brings. And as bad as it is, Kron
Speaker 2: has been horrific on the road this year, so it
Speaker 2: could be a potential like a platoon situation with the
Speaker 2: lefty righties for the duration of the season, So some
Speaker 2: would think about going forward.
Speaker 1: One I do like stables goggles, just put this out.
Speaker 1: The guy I talked about at the trade deadline, Spencer Steer.
Speaker 1: I'm a Spencer Steer guy, and I thought he was
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of early run. He did not.
Speaker 1: They send him to the miners and he got a
Speaker 1: call up today. That would be a guy we'd take
Speaker 1: a look at. If I'm looking for some shortstop, you know,
Speaker 1: they would put they're putting farm over there. The round
Speaker 1: twelve of Jose Barrero is just not working out out
Speaker 1: the experiment of Jose Barrero. So I'm hopeful that we're
Speaker 1: going to get to see some run from Spencer Steer.
Speaker 1: And you know, benjer League, if you if you're like
Speaker 1: a deeper league, or you got a big bench, or
Speaker 1: you're dealing with, like you know, injured players, like I'm
Speaker 1: not going to run and he's not a must pick up,
Speaker 1: but I'd be watching Spencer Steer because I think there's
Speaker 1: some solid power in there, there's good contact. I think
Speaker 1: he put up some offensive stats. I would be doing.
Speaker 1: And then another rookie, Ken Walda Chuck going to make
Speaker 1: his Oakland debut versus the Nationals. So tons of prospects
Speaker 1: around the world, not you wouldn't expect them to. It's September,
Speaker 1: feet this is kind of the time, whether it was
Speaker 1: a playoff move or not. But rosters have expanded and
Speaker 1: you're going to be seeing some of these dudes. Bubs,
Speaker 1: You're going to be seeing some of these dudes. For sure.
Speaker 2: It's good to see. It's good to see. Hopefully we
Speaker 2: see even more. It's there's so much good talent. And
Speaker 2: someone even said, I think it was Mike Mayer actually
Speaker 2: said the other day that the all these young players,
Speaker 2: it's a tip of the cap to the new CBA.
Speaker 2: So we're getting some fun there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose. I mean there's still a little bit
Speaker 1: of still a little bit of manipulation. But to the
Speaker 1: point not seeing it at the front and giving an
Speaker 1: incentive to next year is pushing teams to want at
Speaker 1: least get a look. See that's kind of the weird
Speaker 1: inverse of this, Like they won't bring them up in
Speaker 1: August so they can make sure they control the at
Speaker 1: bats so they're good for next year. But if they're
Speaker 1: going to break camp, I think they want to get
Speaker 1: them a little bit of run. And that's why you're
Speaker 1: seeing Carol and Henderson getting a little bit of major
Speaker 1: league run so they can manipulate it into next year.
Speaker 1: A big scare that we were dealing with was Shane McClanahan.
Speaker 1: Shane McClanahan was placed on the fifteen day IL and
Speaker 1: that was about his noted here by Wonky about ten
Speaker 1: seconds after we ended leading off yesterday, he was placed
Speaker 1: on the IL. We were a little bit optimistic from
Speaker 1: the words and from his words. The optimism here is
Speaker 1: that he is not like Tommy John. The pessimism is
Speaker 1: he's on the IL and I don't know if we
Speaker 1: really have any indication if this will be extended beyond
Speaker 1: the fifteen day IL, and if it is, this is
Speaker 1: going to this is going to destroy fantasy owners because
Speaker 1: McClanahan had a chance to be like a league winner this.
Speaker 2: Year and then reports came out that they got a
Speaker 2: quarter zone shot in his shoulder. So that's usually at
Speaker 2: least a week of pretty much doing nothing. So yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll have to see how that one heals up.
Speaker 3: It's not good. It doesn't sound good to me.
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't sound good. I'm not optimistic about the
Speaker 1: rest of this year, maybe in the playoffs. So your
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, I think you are a little screwed. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: some other injury notes. Luis Robert remains out of the
Speaker 1: lineup on Thursday. No bueno. This is kind of like apropos, repeat,
Speaker 1: rinse and repeat. Salvador Press Salviy was scratched from Wednesday's
Speaker 1: lineup and is tentatively expected back today, so let's watch
Speaker 1: for that. John Birdie was removed from Wednesday's game due
Speaker 1: to right hip soreness. All those stolen bases on the bench,
Speaker 1: but Go Rojas was scratched from yesterday's lineup due to
Speaker 1: right risk discomfort, and Anthony Rizzo was held out of
Speaker 1: the lineup due to some back issues. So this this
Speaker 1: is definitely like the nagging injury time of the year
Speaker 1: where things are gonna start flaring up all Also, the
Speaker 1: rosters are going to expand, so teams that are in
Speaker 1: the playoffs is not like it was before, you know,
Speaker 1: almost thank god. Do you miss it all the forty
Speaker 1: man roster with all the guys. I can't imagine anyone does.
Speaker 1: There's there's not as much manipulation with only like three
Speaker 1: more spots added to a lineup where you're gonna just
Speaker 1: start benching all of your vets, but you're gonna see
Speaker 1: a little.
Speaker 3: Bit of it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm so much more in favor of this, even for
Speaker 2: fantasy purposes, because it was almost impossible to play September
Speaker 2: fantasy with all the call ups because playing time was
Speaker 2: such a disaster. So big fan of this new move
Speaker 2: and we still had to see half decent baseball at least.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that was like one of the
Speaker 1: big catalysts to pushing the ending fantasy baseball in August.
Speaker 1: The movements. Bagwin is pretty big about this for a
Speaker 1: long time, was making sure fantasy was done by August.
Speaker 2: That's because he's so deep into football he can't handle both.
Speaker 3: He's not a big enough man.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I definitely definitely not a big
Speaker 1: enough man. I definitely agree with that, but I think
Speaker 1: it had to do more with the chaos that was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true. Joe PCP is the same way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean, I don't know, I'm not actually
Speaker 1: not a g instant because there's still going to be
Speaker 1: some manipulation. Because what you're gonna see is this is
Speaker 1: going to be the time of year where you are
Speaker 1: going to have teams just you know, doing whatever they
Speaker 1: can to get some guys some extra rest, whether it
Speaker 1: is moving around in the miners, whether it is getting
Speaker 1: these extra call ups extra playing time like Rizzo. You know,
Speaker 1: not that Rizzo is like a catalyst to your fantasy team,
Speaker 1: but you know, if Rizzo's getting extra time with back injuries,
Speaker 1: they're waiting for the playoffs. They need him for the playoffs,
Speaker 1: not this last month. They're not fighting to that degree,
Speaker 1: so you might get him a little bit less.
Speaker 3: So one hundred percent completely agree with that.
Speaker 1: This day in baseball, this is a wonky piece. Nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty eight, the vinegar Ben Mizell of the Saint Louis
Speaker 1: Cardinals set a National League record by walking nine Is
Speaker 1: this a name no, Vinegar Bend Misle.
Speaker 3: Thats got to be the dude's name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, his name is Vinegar.
Speaker 3: That's amazing to be the nickname. It's gonna Ben Mesel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bend set a National League record by walking nine
Speaker 1: batters and pitching a shutout miser beat Cincinnati won to nothing.
Speaker 1: Vinegar Bend mis And here's his baseball almanac. Let's check.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, look at it. Oh yeah, his name was
Speaker 1: Wilmer Misl. Vinegar Ben.
Speaker 3: I go by Vinegar Ben too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a name. Vinigar Ben Misle was born August thirteenth,
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty. Misl was twenty one years old when he
Speaker 1: broke into the big leagues on April twenty second. That's
Speaker 1: my birthday, was not nineteen fifty two though, with the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Is there anything about his nick I want to know
Speaker 1: about the nickname where we.
Speaker 3: Walkie says, that's the name. That's why it's on there.
Speaker 1: His name is Vinegar Bend Misle.
Speaker 2: I would have loved to have been in that locker
Speaker 2: room because I would add jokes for days that are
Speaker 2: appropriate for this show.
Speaker 1: I probably, I mean, they probably didn't have those jokes
Speaker 1: back then.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: Let's just say, one of my fantasy football team names
Speaker 2: in my home league is called Vinegar Strokes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was about to say, I knew, I knew
Speaker 1: exactly where you're going with that, Vinegar Ben Misle all
Speaker 1: time name. I got a trivia question for you. Gunner
Speaker 1: Henderson hits a homer in his debut. Who was the
Speaker 1: last Orioles player to hit a homer in his MLB debut?
Speaker 1: This is the trivia question.
Speaker 3: It's the chat.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Bubba can throw a little guests
Speaker 1: out there, but who's the last Oriole in their debut
Speaker 1: to hit a home run?
Speaker 3: That's good, that's real good.
Speaker 1: You got a guess.
Speaker 2: I mnsa say Trey Boo Boo Trademan scene. Even I'm
Speaker 2: probably wrong, but that's the guy I'm going with. That's
Speaker 2: my guy.
Speaker 1: You nailed it. You ruined it right up. Oh, we
Speaker 1: nailed it. You got it. You know what I thought
Speaker 1: I thought, Wonky said cal Ripken. I thought I thought
Speaker 1: Matt Waiters was going to be the guests. I thought
Speaker 1: Matt Waiters was going to be like the number one
Speaker 1: guess or something like that. It was Treyvan scene. You're
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2: To Wonky's point, I want to know why bench is there.
Speaker 2: I bet you we threw a heck of a curve ball,
Speaker 2: just gotta throw it out there.
Speaker 1: Oh but so you think Bend was Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess because Ben was like a middle nickname something like that.
Speaker 3: I could see that Ben.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna it's it's vinegar Casey Bubba is in the
Speaker 1: house here. By the way, it was September twentieth, twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: so right at the end of the year he had
Speaker 1: got a little bit of playing time. Hit that homer
Speaker 1: September twenty, twenty sixteen. There you go, Just so you
Speaker 1: wanted to know. On the stat hero Zana Boguards hit
Speaker 1: a homer with five RBIs also had a stolen base.
Speaker 1: Little combo meal action for Xander Brandon marsh three for six,
Speaker 1: three RBIs two runs, a large Newt bar with a
Speaker 1: combo meal homer and a stolen base.
Speaker 3: And he didn't even start that game, by the way.
Speaker 3: He got yeah, good, so good, so good.
Speaker 1: Abraham Toro two for three with a homer, two RBIs
Speaker 1: two v two for three with a couple of rb eys.
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper was three for four with then RBI, a
Speaker 1: couple runs. Goods the Diamondbacks. John Birdie had a homer
Speaker 1: and stolen base, Combo Meal, Yandy Diaz a perfect three
Speaker 1: for three, Johannio Suarez two for four, a homer, and
Speaker 1: maybe the most impressive thing I've ever seen any baseball
Speaker 1: player do in the history of ever. Did you see
Speaker 1: the ball like come in, bounce off of I think
Speaker 1: it was the bat and then it fell down and
Speaker 1: he kicked a mid air and he did a double
Speaker 1: soccer kick and then he kicked it out of the
Speaker 1: field a play I miss.
Speaker 3: That is impressive.
Speaker 1: It was I'm you know what I'm gonna do. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to find it because it was like I
Speaker 1: keep thinking about it. I've I've thought about it for
Speaker 1: like two hours since I've seen it, and yeah, professional sorry.
Speaker 1: So the pitch comes in, it bounces off of his foot,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna post a link to this in the
Speaker 1: chat for everybody. This right here. This is the Twitter
Speaker 1: thing and Bubby, you can check it out. I want
Speaker 1: to get your live reaction to this. There's in the
Speaker 1: private chat. Check that out. So the pitch comes in,
Speaker 1: as you can see, it hits off the bat, hits
Speaker 1: off his foot, bounces in the air. You hen heal Swarz,
Speaker 1: then kicks it with his foot up, bounces it off
Speaker 1: his knee, bounce it off his foot, and then kicks
Speaker 1: it off the field. Look at that play.
Speaker 3: What in the world is that?
Speaker 1: Incredible?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1: It's a cool thing I've ever seeing. He made more.
Speaker 2: Consecutive contact than he probably did in his entire career.
Speaker 1: More. Yeah, that's the joke. More contact with.
Speaker 3: His all day. I'm here all day.
Speaker 1: It was beautiful. I'm trying to see who that was
Speaker 1: against too.
Speaker 3: I can't see, but I was already turned it off.
Speaker 3: But yeah, not sure.
Speaker 1: Amazing, amazing.
Speaker 3: I know Daniel Norris came in last night, so I
Speaker 3: could have been him.
Speaker 1: Maybe totally ad two for four with a homer and
Speaker 1: that ends out your big stat hero as your heel.
Speaker 1: Swar As wins the day though, with that amazing kick
Speaker 1: kickick kick. On the picture side, Jacob de Gram seven
Speaker 1: innings pitched. You never go with the under under Gram
Speaker 1: the algorithm for betting pros had eight and a half
Speaker 1: and take the under. He hit nine. You just can't
Speaker 1: do it. Nine is his number? Anything eight and a
Speaker 1: half you go over with him. Nine and a half
Speaker 1: is the tough number. Lance Lynn had a rare good
Speaker 1: performance seven innings, eight strikeouts, four hits with ann run
Speaker 1: Kyle Wright went seven, striking out six, Annimal Sanchez went seven,
Speaker 1: striking out four, and Patrick Sandoval went seven, striking out seven,
Speaker 1: giving up a couple earned runs on your stat zero's
Speaker 1: Bobby Dalback oh for four with four, k's Kyle Farmer
Speaker 1: oh for six with three k's let's spinster steer up
Speaker 1: here who can play multiple positions, Kyle Farmer, Minchcoff Fimber,
Speaker 1: Rafael Defforso for five with three strikeouts, Roddy Telezo for
Speaker 1: five with three, Josh Bellow for four with three, and
Speaker 1: Lane Thomas over three with three strikeouts. Tommy Henry with
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks gave up seven earned runs in four implied runs.
Speaker 1: Remember that with Philly, Mitch White gave up six earned
Speaker 1: runs and four and two third and Martine Perez five innings,
Speaker 1: five earned runs in nine hits. Home run calls. We
Speaker 1: got to give a shout out to our boy Famous
Speaker 1: Amos for his Xander Bogart's call to score the Andre
Speaker 1: Dawson bonus. I don't know if you saw this yesterday, Bubba.
Speaker 1: It was a Andre Dawson. Pick a homer from any
Speaker 1: of the any of the last place teams. If you
Speaker 1: could do that, you were going to get extra bonus points,
Speaker 1: and he was able to do that. I properly killed
Speaker 1: enough time there to show you the homer leader board
Speaker 1: because I had not loaded it. Bam, there you go.
Speaker 1: D Blum with forty nine, Go Cards with forty seven,
Speaker 1: High Covey with forty seven. That's your leader board, little
Speaker 1: to no movement else, Scale got the only homer on
Speaker 1: top of the board of nol Aeronato. We had a
Speaker 1: lot of goldies in there. Go Cards had Brian Reynolds
Speaker 1: for the bonus. But there was really just no movement
Speaker 1: whatsoever on the home run board, which all of our
Speaker 1: peoples are making all the home run calls over on
Speaker 1: the discord on Fantasy Pro. So you guys can go
Speaker 1: and check that out. Friends, you know what time it is,
Speaker 1: It's Tiara time, bet MGM. How do we like the
Speaker 1: red diamond there?
Speaker 3: Oh, that is purty. Little extra flair for a Thursday.
Speaker 1: That's right, little extra flair for the Thursday.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: If you guys use a promo code leading off. When
Speaker 1: you download the bet MGM app, you can get a
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars risk free bet promo code leading up.
Speaker 1: They support the podcast. Go and check them out. Go
Speaker 1: put the over on eight and a half strikeouts on
Speaker 1: Jacob the ground whenever it's out there, do it, Kings
Speaker 1: and Queen's. This is a pretty good one. This might
Speaker 1: be my favorite one.
Speaker 3: That's a good one.
Speaker 1: It really pops for me. So thank you there. I
Speaker 1: should probably get a crown at some point, right maybe.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2: You got something going here, don't go and I got
Speaker 2: a little bit. I'm go full wwe like stay on brand.
Speaker 1: I think people like it, but I don't think they all.
Speaker 3: Like it for the reasons right reasons.
Speaker 1: I got some bets for you if you guys want
Speaker 1: to check it out bettingpros dot com. Check out the
Speaker 1: mlbprop cheat sheet. You can see all the stuff that
Speaker 1: they spit out. And I'm gonna give you the top
Speaker 1: strikeout in total base play and then the top money
Speaker 1: play for each of those. So on the pitching side,
Speaker 1: the number one play Clayton Kershaw. He has been activated.
Speaker 1: He's going tonight. His number is three and a half strikeouts.
Speaker 1: He's projected at six. I don't know if the system
Speaker 1: is properly putting stuff together, because six coming off of
Speaker 1: the injury might be a little bit high. But three
Speaker 1: and a half for Clayton Kershaw, come, I don't think
Speaker 1: he's gonna go forty pitches, so I'm pretty about this.
Speaker 1: But it is juiced at minus one sixty six. The
Speaker 1: top plus play is Logan Gilbert five and a half
Speaker 1: strikeouts against Detroit, and that is plus one ten, so
Speaker 1: I kind of like that play. But Logan Gilbert can
Speaker 1: have those like seven inning and three strikes out games,
Speaker 1: which is super frustrating on the hitting side. For total bases,
Speaker 1: von Grisham is the top play today. Grissom apologies. Minus
Speaker 1: one ninety is a juice. You only need one base,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's all you need from him, so you
Speaker 1: kind of probably have to parlay that one and the
Speaker 1: top I went. I cheated a little bit because I
Speaker 1: don't want to go like way down the list on
Speaker 1: a plus money when you did have an even play.
Speaker 1: And the even play is Matt Olsen versus Colorado one
Speaker 1: and a half total bases. He's projected at almost two
Speaker 1: and a half. So, Bubba, you've got Kershaw and Grissom,
Speaker 1: both pretty juiced, both very good numbers. Gilbert and Olsen
Speaker 1: are your non negative money plays. What out of these
Speaker 1: do you dig?
Speaker 2: I don't mind parlay and the Kershaw and Grissom together
Speaker 2: and seeing what you can get out of that.
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot to like.
Speaker 2: Otherwise, I love that Matt Olsen one Chad Cool on
Speaker 2: the bump for Colorado. Matty Olsen wouldn't be shocked if
Speaker 2: we get at least one, if not more, extra base
Speaker 2: hits off that beat.
Speaker 1: So did you say the kershawn Grisham parlay together?
Speaker 3: I could see that. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: I actually really liked that one as well. Grissom was
Speaker 1: someone I was thinking about even in the home run
Speaker 1: contest today. So if you partlay those together, you'll probably
Speaker 1: get one eighty maybe or plus one eighty or something
Speaker 1: like that, like twenty two hundred and something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think that would be a really good partly
Speaker 1: low numbers. You need one hit in four strikeouts from
Speaker 1: cursh I actually, you know what, Bubbs, I really like that.
Speaker 1: I like that put together there. If you guys want
Speaker 1: to go and check out the DFS side, Bubba, do
Speaker 1: you have any DFS big plays for today? I didn't
Speaker 1: have any updates early on when I was doing this
Speaker 1: as far as some of the cash stuff or yeah,
Speaker 1: I say, I still don't even see a bunch of
Speaker 1: the thing, I said ken Waldachuck is at six six,
Speaker 1: Kershaw's at ten, Bassets at ten four, Bieber at ten
Speaker 1: to seven against Baltimore. I kind of dig and we
Speaker 1: don't really have any implied run total numbers to give.
Speaker 1: But what do you like on the DFS side today?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the evening action, you got Woodriff and Bieber
Speaker 2: and Strider take him the bump. I think those are
Speaker 2: all phenomenal pay up spots that don't sleep on Merril
Speaker 2: Kelly want't throw that one out there. He's been kind
Speaker 2: of decent against and he'll get Milwaukee at home in Arizona,
Speaker 2: so you can be a little different that way. And
Speaker 2: I forget they were hitting attack Glenado with Boston, and
Speaker 2: I don't mind us some Cleveland bats first Bradish as well,
Speaker 2: and everyone.
Speaker 3: Will be on Atlanta, so really good spots there.
Speaker 2: And yeah, Auto is gonna be a topic of conversation
Speaker 2: in a minute.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that. Well, getting to it, Let's get
Speaker 1: to our home run calls. I didn't even realize that
Speaker 1: this game already started, So I think I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to pick a different home run call because my home
Speaker 1: run call is gonna be Julio Rodriguez and the game
Speaker 1: has already started.
Speaker 3: So he walked in his first at bat, So you're good,
Speaker 3: you got a chance.
Speaker 1: Still, I'll pivot. I'll play it nice. I'll pivot off
Speaker 1: of here. What do you got on your home run call?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick on Glenado. Some massive negative aggression should
Speaker 2: be coming his direction, and I'm gonna go with one
Speaker 2: Rafael Devers to go off the Schneid. Bad night last night,
Speaker 2: a little bit of a funk, but I think it's
Speaker 2: a good night to get Rafaeo back in action.
Speaker 1: So Rafael Devers, I'm gonna go Matt Olson. That was
Speaker 1: one of my original plays. I'll just go with Olson.
Speaker 1: I did like Julio, but the game has already started,
Speaker 1: so I will move away from that. And then who
Speaker 1: did we else? Have we had? Mayor has got Marcus
Speaker 1: Simeon and Walkee going with Dermis Garcia.
Speaker 3: So going deep into the bad guts it. I like
Speaker 3: it wonkey our.
Speaker 1: Boy Doctor Glenn said that I went five and two
Speaker 1: thirds tour and runs and he says, you've come without
Speaker 1: a mustache. You don't get a quality start. Sorry, brother,
Speaker 1: If people don't know, obviously I had my beard going.
Speaker 1: We had a thing we have this show is it
Speaker 1: the Wheel Bogman and I do on our Twitch and
Speaker 1: it's a wild show. And we had one called Mustache
Speaker 1: Ride where if you land on it you had to
Speaker 1: shave everything into a mustache. And Bogman landed on it
Speaker 1: to start the show. I landed on it to end
Speaker 1: the show. We live shaved it with our mustaches and
Speaker 1: then when the show was over, immediately cleaned it up.
Speaker 1: So that is what he's talking about. But if you
Speaker 1: want to see it Twitch, dot tv, slash in this league,
Speaker 1: you can see those mustaches. Quite the look, my friend,
Speaker 1: Quite the look. That is it. That is all that
Speaker 1: we've got. We've got one more show coming up the
Speaker 1: rest of this week. Bubba, what do you got going on?
Speaker 1: I know you got a pack day coming up here,
Speaker 1: and I think you got some baseball podcasting tonight.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yesterday I did a bench with Bubblo with
Speaker 2: Jamie Steed, a very funny guy from England. I'd recommend
Speaker 2: checking that out. And then on Thursday night, as you're
Speaker 2: listening to this, I'll Bubba and the Blue Ryan Bloomfield
Speaker 2: be joining me again as usual. So come check out
Speaker 2: all that stuff at your DFS action and much more.
Speaker 2: Just follow me on the Twitter at bed in Trick.
Speaker 1: At bed Intric. You can follow me on Twitter at
