Speaker 1: Oh look at us. We're all crazy there. Hello, friends,
Speaker 1: and welcome in. It is leading off. I am the Welsh.
Speaker 1: That is Kelly Kirby because it's a wonky Wednesday. We
Speaker 1: had a wonky.
Speaker 2: Little start there for them.
Speaker 1: That was funny. That made me laugh. Kelly, how are we?
Speaker 2: I'm doing okay. Shane McClanahan kind of ruined my Tuesday,
Speaker 2: but that's all right. How are you well?
Speaker 1: I mean I was doing all right and then you
Speaker 1: had to come right out the gates with the negativity.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm sorry, my bet.
Speaker 1: No, you know what it's there. I said right in
Speaker 1: yesterday's show. I'm like, hey, guess what the one bet
Speaker 1: I really love today? And I'm doing Seane McClanahan. I
Speaker 1: was watching a lot of that game too, because I
Speaker 1: ended up parlaying McClanahan and Lodola. Lodola needed seven, nailed it.
Speaker 1: Clanahan didn't have us strikeout, I believe the first three innings,
Speaker 1: and then he got three strikeouts and maybe you know,
Speaker 1: maybe he got one in the third, but into the
Speaker 1: fourth inning he got three strikeouts. He needed two more,
Speaker 1: and then he gets injured. He gets reinjured, though of
Speaker 1: course he will make his next start. As they say,
Speaker 1: no McClanahan, no bueno, no bueno for the bet. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: but you know how my day was saved because I
Speaker 1: had put together a bet little draft Kings had a
Speaker 1: little thing that was like, hey, we'll give you a
Speaker 1: sixty percent bonus if you want to bet on Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge hitting his sixtieth homer. And I say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I like that today And then I was sitting up
Speaker 1: at night. He had gone through all his bats except
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the ninth and buamo Aaron Judge, wwamy,
Speaker 1: if you will hits his sixtieth home run, which is
Speaker 1: an incredible, incredible marker. And it was a great shot too,
Speaker 1: because he was pitched one right down on the plate,
Speaker 1: three straight low below his knees and then he will
Speaker 1: crowg's groove one right back back in and it looked
Speaker 1: like you hit it four hundred million feet Kelly and
Speaker 1: gonna be r MVP. It is just is what it is.
Speaker 1: He's currently holding the triple crown in the al sixty homers.
Speaker 1: The Marris family is hung out the whole time waiting
Speaker 1: for him to break it. And he's won away.
Speaker 2: Yes he is. I was actually thinking someone with a
Speaker 2: lot more time than us should figure out if you
Speaker 2: had bet five dollars on him to Homer every day,
Speaker 2: where would you have come out this year or ten dollars.
Speaker 1: Well, you see what's hard about that is he doesn't
Speaker 1: get really great odds. So like his odds last night
Speaker 1: to Homer were plus one twenty six, and then they
Speaker 1: gave you extra odds, so you know, it's not like
Speaker 1: if you were getting if you were playing a guy
Speaker 1: you know that was getting like plus four hundred, you
Speaker 1: would have like a four day buffer in between all
Speaker 1: of those and you could rock it. But otherwise, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think you. I don't think you
Speaker 1: would have done too well unless you did play some
Speaker 1: version of like escalating betting. There's probably a way that
Speaker 1: you really could have done it, Doctor Glint, after you
Speaker 1: finish with our Moon math about how hard O'Neal Cruz
Speaker 1: would hit it on Jupiter, let us know about this
Speaker 1: and how your betting would have gone. Please, by the way,
Speaker 1: you can find Kelly on at the Wonky Peng when
Speaker 1: you can find me on Twitter at is it the
Speaker 1: Welsh and this is locked up for you, Kelly. Aaron Judge. Yes,
Speaker 1: MVP locked up. You just don't need to worry about
Speaker 1: it anymore. No more talking.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think that it's worth discussing at this point.
Speaker 2: We can argue theoretically, but it's over.
Speaker 1: You know what we should do is we should have
Speaker 1: like an off season episode where we'll get like, we'll
Speaker 1: have to get an overlay of like three or four
Speaker 1: of us, and then we all just come on as
Speaker 1: the award is announced, and you know, we'll talk like
Speaker 1: we spent so much talking about it the time this
Speaker 1: year that you know we could talk about it when
Speaker 1: he actually does it. So there you go. Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: got me a couple of ducats after Sean McClanahan did
Speaker 1: not get it for me, and hits the sixtieth of
Speaker 1: the year, so we've got some record in the next
Speaker 1: week and have to follow. Also, Carlos Stanton, no big
Speaker 1: deal it hit his third career walk off brand Slam Tuesdays,
Speaker 1: the Yankees came back to beat the Pirates, and to
Speaker 1: point out, Aaron Judge led off the inning hit that
Speaker 1: homer and then bam bam bam bam bam. Gihn Carlos
Speaker 1: Stanton walk up Yankees or something something special.
Speaker 2: I suppose imagine if Stanton hits like because I mean
Speaker 2: he's just been swinging at nothing because the other three
Speaker 2: at bats yesterday he struck out. But imagine if he
Speaker 2: gets one of those weird hot streaks going, like right
Speaker 2: at the start of the playoffs, and then you put
Speaker 2: the two of them together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point. He's one of like I mean,
Speaker 1: there's like three or four guys in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: It's like you can't let them get going. Like I
Speaker 1: would even say, like ada bertal Mondesi is one of
Speaker 1: those guys, even though he's not around this year, Like,
Speaker 1: you can't let him get going. Same thing would be
Speaker 1: with Stanton. If he gets going, everybody's in trouble. That's
Speaker 1: a really great point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then our oh good, I was gonna say,
Speaker 2: our theory of just walking him in the playoffs then
Speaker 2: becomes much more complicated.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there was actually a part of me that
Speaker 1: was I mean, the Pirates were up last night, not
Speaker 1: in a Stanton situation. They couldn't, but I guess with
Speaker 1: the judge, I was almost curious, like why do they
Speaker 1: even pitch him? I mean they were up four runs,
Speaker 1: so what did they care? But there's just kind of
Speaker 1: a like why even bother with it?
Speaker 2: But it is.
Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to the chat for all
Speaker 1: of the hair comments. Yes I did. We trimmed up
Speaker 1: the hair and we're rocking hair today. As I mentioned yesterday,
Speaker 1: my son one student of the month at his school,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to go from here. That's why we're
Speaker 1: going a little bit early. I'm gonna be going over
Speaker 1: there to make sure to show him some love. But
Speaker 1: we had done some hair, so I am rocking. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty I like the hair.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: So shout out to all you guys for the nice
Speaker 1: hair comments. Thank you very much. I will take those
Speaker 1: as long as I have them until the hair goes away.
Speaker 1: This is why we have to wear it long until
Speaker 1: it gets balding or anything like that. By the way,
Speaker 1: one of the things I don't think anyone warned you
Speaker 1: about when you get older is when you don't pay
Speaker 1: attention to your hair enough and then you go in
Speaker 1: to like cut it and you're like, where did all
Speaker 1: this grat come from? I have so much gray I'm looking.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be quick silver here soon for you. Marvel.
Speaker 1: People like it is, there's a lot of gray that's
Speaker 1: hidden behind what looks like Jeb Black on the screen.
Speaker 2: So it's you know, I wear baseball hats here and
Speaker 2: then at the job the other job that I have,
Speaker 2: I wear baseball caps all the time. And yeah, I've
Speaker 2: started to like, I'm like, well, I guess we're just
Speaker 2: going gray. Huh, Like like is it worth dying it?
Speaker 2: But you know, I'm like, maybe the baseball Caps just
Speaker 2: keep me looking young.
Speaker 1: They absolutely they do. Yeah, we mentioned the McClanahan stuff.
Speaker 1: By the way, it was it was left neck stiffness
Speaker 1: and he had some spasms, is why he came out.
Speaker 1: He downplayed it, but he should be out for that
Speaker 1: next start. And we got a fun fact coming up
Speaker 1: here in a little bit. Francisco Lindoor club to go ahead,
Speaker 1: Grand said, what's all? The Grand slams off a Taylor
Speaker 1: Rogers in the seventh inning On Tuesday night, Mets had
Speaker 1: a come from behind wins seven to four victory over
Speaker 1: the Brewers, so it was comeback city for New York
Speaker 1: and Francisco Lindoor has really been a bright spot where
Speaker 1: he was one of those guys that I felt like
Speaker 1: in draft season, No One really knew how to handle him,
Speaker 1: Like no one knew, like what will we actually going
Speaker 1: to get? Wander Franco was going over him. Tim Anderson
Speaker 1: from many places was going over him. Lindor ended up
Speaker 1: being like a sixth or seventh short stop. I think
Speaker 1: there were even people considering Hobby Bayas over him. But
Speaker 1: Lindor's really kind of re solidified his season. I didn't
Speaker 1: I should have pulled up his stats. I will do
Speaker 1: that right now, But any thoughts on how Lindor has
Speaker 1: played this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lindor is the best representation from this year on
Speaker 2: my theory of like the first year after they signed
Speaker 2: a big free agent contract, stay away, but that second
Speaker 2: year you'll get a discount and then they're gonna revert
Speaker 2: right back to what got them the contract. Like I
Speaker 2: don't know the percentage, but I feel like it happens.
Speaker 1: A lot do that with Judge.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm I will avoid judged like crazy next year.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, this is and like this is his
Speaker 2: career year. I don't know if he's gonna the health
Speaker 2: for him, you know, Like, yeah, he's also stayed healthy,
Speaker 2: which is a big change for him too.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Lindor twenty five homer, seventeen stolen base at
Speaker 1: sixteen So I'm sorry. H ninety nine RBI, ninety two runs,
Speaker 1: hitting two seventy so legit, shot, you get up to
Speaker 1: two seventy five hundred hundred with twenty five and maybe
Speaker 1: twenty right around there. That's a fantastic That's the first
Speaker 1: round season. That's a first round statistical season that Lindor's
Speaker 1: put together that I think has quietly happened. And you know,
Speaker 1: he definitely was a nice discount this year and has
Speaker 1: been really good. And also Kyle Schwarber three run homer
Speaker 1: hit his fortieth of the season versus the Blue Jays
Speaker 1: forty home runs for Kyle Schwarber. Unbelievable hitting, Like, what
Speaker 1: the hell is he hitting right now? There's another one
Speaker 1: I should have pulled up the stats for beforehand. Is
Speaker 1: he hitting like two thirty?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, he's a little higher than the
Speaker 2: gallow line, but he's I'm.
Speaker 1: Pulling it up. Take a guest on his batting average
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: I'd say two twenty seven South, Okay, So maybe it
Speaker 2: isn't Gala territory. Yeah, heep, going h two ten little
Speaker 2: bit North Okay. Like to twelve, two fifteen.
Speaker 1: Fifteen on the ear with forty homers? Has that? What
Speaker 1: was Gallo? See you?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: I gotta do this now? See this is this is
Speaker 1: what happens to me. Sometimes I get into these rabbit
Speaker 1: holes where I now have to know things. What would
Speaker 1: the most amount of homers Joey Gallo hit? Okay, so
Speaker 1: check this out. The most amount he hit forty one
Speaker 1: and forty and back to back years in twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: and twenty seventeen. Man, okay, never mind, his batting average
Speaker 1: was two oh nine when he hit forty one and
Speaker 1: two oh six when he hit forty. I wanted to
Speaker 1: feel like, has there been a guy that's hit under
Speaker 1: two fifteen that's had forty plus homers? Apparently there have
Speaker 1: is Joe So you know, Kyls Shwarber's only a couple
Speaker 1: bad games here throughout the rest of the season to
Speaker 1: get under two ten and challenge Joey Gallo. This is
Speaker 1: Joey Gallo territory for sure, and I avoid Joey gallow
Speaker 1: type players. That's what's tough. Kyls Shwarber feels like a
Speaker 1: player that you move way more up and you're investing in.
Speaker 1: But I won't if a guy's hitting under two twenty,
Speaker 1: I just don't want to do it.
Speaker 2: What's his on base percentage?
Speaker 1: Since it is better three thirteen three thirteen this year
Speaker 1: Joey Gallows, we can compare in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen was three thirty three, but the following year
Speaker 1: where he hit forty homers and hit two oh six,
Speaker 1: it was three twelve. So this is like full on
Speaker 1: representative representative of the twenty eighteen Joey Gallo. What Schwarber's
Speaker 1: doing like full bar.
Speaker 2: Which I think we should really call it. The Mendoza
Speaker 2: line is one thing, but I think we have the
Speaker 2: Gallow line. This is your forty home runs, but you
Speaker 2: can't play you don't want to play them every day,
Speaker 2: I'll kill you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I think the Gallow line is if
Speaker 1: we were defining it, it's like two nineteen batting average,
Speaker 1: maybe even two twenty five. I would say two nineteen
Speaker 1: and thirty plus homers like that is the two That
Speaker 1: is the where the Gallow line intersects and you are
Speaker 1: going to be compared to him for the rest of
Speaker 1: the time. It's amazing. That's probably actually one of the
Speaker 1: more amazing stats to me being able to hit forty
Speaker 1: homes when you hit under two twenty. So when Oneo
Speaker 1: Cruz does it next year, everyone will have a long,
Speaker 1: big conversation about It'd be very exciting on the injury front. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean my tune will change on
Speaker 1: Oneal Cruise a whole lot with everybody next season. But
Speaker 1: they'll still be the hints of my problem with him,
Speaker 1: but it'll be a lot more exciting with a year
Speaker 1: under his belt and stuff like that. I watch him
Speaker 1: whiff on a world as Chapman last night, just swinging
Speaker 1: at He didn't know what was coming, He didn't know
Speaker 1: what was coming up. He was just bat in front,
Speaker 1: hoping to make some contact.
Speaker 2: And who let him bat against?
Speaker 1: Love it?
Speaker 2: I love it awesome. Yep.
Speaker 1: Trey Turner was pulled from Game one yesterday after being
Speaker 1: hit in the back with an errant throw. However, he
Speaker 1: played in the second game, and Dave Roberts said it
Speaker 1: was just a precautionary thing, just precautionary, just like pulling
Speaker 1: all those pitchers in those perfect games. Just precautionary, as
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2: Likes to do.
Speaker 1: Nelson Cruz remains out of the national starting lineup on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: An eye issue. God, yeah, it was something weird. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like a normal like a.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an irritation type of I think it also
Speaker 2: happens when you're forty.
Speaker 1: I was about to say it sounds like something a
Speaker 1: forty two year old might say and a losing team, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm irritated in my eye. I'm irritated in my eye,
Speaker 1: not because we're losing and I don't want to be
Speaker 1: out there right now. Totally. Nixon Zel was diagnosed. So
Speaker 1: they fractured toe in his left foot. I mean that
Speaker 1: is literally my people know my exploits. I broke my
Speaker 1: pinky toe three times in six months, completely shattered it.
Speaker 1: It's still messed up to this day. So I feel
Speaker 1: for him. But he probably did it, you know, playing
Speaker 1: on a field, and I did it by kicking a
Speaker 1: wall three times in the same place.
Speaker 2: I broke both of my pinkies on two separate trips
Speaker 2: to chuck e cheese. So like, I broke one on
Speaker 2: the first trip and one on the second trip.
Speaker 1: And I know it's not a totally but were they
Speaker 1: within the same like a relative time period.
Speaker 2: No, it was. It was a way of part, but
Speaker 2: it was a great check. And also the next thing
Speaker 2: on the injuries obviously is not an injury, but I
Speaker 2: just accidentally put it there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I see it. Jmuno went five
Speaker 1: for five, hit his twentieth homer there. That is not
Speaker 1: an injury. That's just an injury to a baseball, not
Speaker 1: to j t Romuto, which, by the way, you know,
Speaker 1: I do want to throw out there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of question about, you know, the top catcher and what
Speaker 1: catcher is going to look like this year. I do
Speaker 1: want to say it's very impressive Romuto and like how
Speaker 1: he's continued the production throughout the year because I think
Speaker 1: there was a real period of time where we would
Speaker 1: look at VARs Show, we look at Adlee and we
Speaker 1: say this is the number one guy. But Ramuto is
Speaker 1: the number one guy, like he is clear and cut
Speaker 1: the number one guy to go into next year with
Speaker 1: all those stolen bases, he found the power again, like
Speaker 1: he's the guy. But the catching position is just so
Speaker 1: much different than it used to be. There's so many
Speaker 1: more guys stealing bases, and you know, var shows Bar
Speaker 1: Show is fascinating because Kelly vers Raight shared something or Shelley.
Speaker 1: I said, Kelly, you're on the show with me. Shelley
Speaker 1: vers rate if you follow her. Shelly v She had
Speaker 1: shared really thing the other day that showed VARs Show.
Speaker 1: Twenty four of twenty five homers from Varshow were all
Speaker 1: pull side. We're all pull side stuff. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: like wild and I think it was against Righty's. I
Speaker 1: think twenty four of twenty five or twenty five to
Speaker 1: twenty six was poleside against Righty's. They're going to pitch
Speaker 1: him differently next year. And there's some weird positional stuff
Speaker 1: ally's and steel bases, but the stealing bases is a
Speaker 1: whole lot more, and the shift stuff the catching position.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's a lot more variety out there.
Speaker 1: It's weird. But Rimito was able to on a full
Speaker 1: season pull it all together again and just clearcut be
Speaker 1: the guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah he was, And the way he started I think
Speaker 2: was he started a little slow. I drafted him high
Speaker 2: in one league specifically to trade him because I don't
Speaker 2: like drafting catchers high unless I can flip him. But
Speaker 2: when I saw that, I wouldn't have actually guessed that
Speaker 2: he hit twenty until I saw it today, like he's
Speaker 2: kind of just very quietly gone about being the most
Speaker 2: solid catcher and the one you can really rely on
Speaker 2: at this point because we knew Salprez was going to
Speaker 2: drop off from last year because he had to. But
Speaker 2: with real Moto, it's like, this is kind of what
Speaker 2: you're gonna get probably and you can draft based on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had more stolen bases than Homers, like almost
Speaker 1: a majority of the year. I think more games through
Speaker 1: the year, he had more stolen bases than Homers than not.
Speaker 1: So this is a different his war though he has
Speaker 1: a full point and a half more of war than
Speaker 1: the next guy, which is Sean Murphy by the way,
Speaker 1: who's had a good year adlely in under one hundred games,
Speaker 1: has got the third highest war with the eleven homers.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's just more stolen bases, Like I'm
Speaker 1: looking through this list of qualified catchers and you just
Speaker 1: see more than usual. You know, it's nothing crazy, I suppose,
Speaker 1: but you know, I see keibert Ruiz had six this year,
Speaker 1: Christian Bettencourt qualifies has five, Wilson Contraras stole four. There's
Speaker 1: just more stolen bases that are part of it. But
Speaker 1: he has been pretty freaking phenomenal if we can. This
Speaker 1: is a fun fact I mentioned earlier. It's truly not fun.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately this week, you know, you're in your championship or
Speaker 1: the final part of roto, trying to lock it down.
Speaker 1: You're like, hey, look at me. I got Corbyn Burns
Speaker 1: and Shaye McClanahan. This is the Paul Red thing. Who
Speaker 1: would have thought, not me, I'm gonna win this, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take it all down. Well guess what. This week,
Speaker 1: Corbn Burns and Shane McClanahan have given fantasy managers a
Speaker 1: combined era of nine point three to one and a
Speaker 1: one point eighty six whip. This sounds a little too
Speaker 1: close to home.
Speaker 2: Kelly, Yeah. I mean I've been on McClanahan like he
Speaker 2: was my guy, then he got injured. Then I made
Speaker 2: it to the championship round in a league I've been
Speaker 2: commissioner of forever and have not won the whole thing.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm like, okay, sweet, he's coming back.
Speaker 2: Like I figured Houston would bench their starter since they
Speaker 2: wrapped up the division, you know, and then I looked
Speaker 2: at it and thought, oh god, and that's the direction
Speaker 2: it went that I'm playing against Burns, so oh.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 1: Yeah, My thought was like this, this stat sounds like
Speaker 1: somebody has burns. And McClanahan put it together and said,
Speaker 1: this is what's happening to me right now.
Speaker 2: But at least I think somebody did.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, not me. Nineteen eighty seven, This day
Speaker 1: in Baseball, Darryl Strawberry joins Howard Johnson's the first teammates
Speaker 1: ever to achieve thirty homers and thirty stolen bases in
Speaker 1: a season. That's a wild one. Has anyone done that
Speaker 1: as of recent Has that happened? I'm trying to even
Speaker 1: think of, like who would be that? Who could? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's an incredible stat, doctor Glenn. That's not science.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give you points to assign this project
Speaker 1: to somebody. Find me a modern day, you know, modern
Speaker 1: day thirty thirty teammates. I'd like that stat. Some stat
Speaker 1: heroes you mentioned Ermuto five for five, homer, two RBIs,
Speaker 1: Matt Chapman had a bomb. CJ. Cron went three for
Speaker 1: four with the homer and three RBIs. Francisco Lidoor had
Speaker 1: the four RBIs of the homer. Taoscar Hernandez four for five,
Speaker 1: very very good, Matt Duffy homer two, RBIs going three
Speaker 1: for four, Brian Reynolds getting a little thing going before
Speaker 1: the end of the year four for five of homer
Speaker 1: two RBIs, Aj Pollock had a bomb, Willia Damis four
Speaker 1: for five with a couple of RBI and Austin Barnes
Speaker 1: three for four with a homer and two RBA. Do
Speaker 1: you think the shortstop position is still as robust as
Speaker 1: it was like in our thought process to start the year.
Speaker 1: And the reason I say this is like Willi Adamas
Speaker 1: was one of those guys where we're like, I remember
Speaker 1: Joe would say, I don't worry about it. Have I
Speaker 1: missed out shortstop? You know how I'm taking Willia damas well.
Speaker 1: That doesn't feel so good now, and we've had a
Speaker 1: lot of guys kind of fall off. But do you
Speaker 1: think is how robust it was in the preseason it
Speaker 1: is going to be as robust starting next year.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's going to turn into maybe what
Speaker 2: third base was like a few years ago, where you
Speaker 2: have kind of that whole solid line of guys where
Speaker 2: it's like this is what you're going to get kind
Speaker 2: of that two to eighty twenty five home like this
Speaker 2: is just who they are. Nothing exciting, nothing that nothing
Speaker 2: that you're going to want to chase. It's like this
Speaker 2: is yeah, you can kind of pick up that guy
Speaker 2: anywhere you want to, because a Damas has hit what
Speaker 2: twenty five home runs?
Speaker 1: I mean, but he's also he's got one of those
Speaker 1: like really bad average thing I'm working up. I think
Speaker 1: he said like two thirty and he's hit like twenty
Speaker 1: five twenty six homers. Yeah, so he his stat line
Speaker 1: is thirty homers. I didn't realize that, and too average
Speaker 1: was a little bit better two forty three with thirty homers,
Speaker 1: seven stolen bases. So he yeah, I mean he'll fall
Speaker 1: into that maybe comfortable range. I just don't know if
Speaker 1: it's quite as quite as sexy the positionally as it
Speaker 1: was in the preseason anymore.
Speaker 2: No, not at all. And I mean Dansby Swanson was
Speaker 2: not somebody that I think I think a lot of
Speaker 2: people faded him, and he has had an interesting year
Speaker 2: and who's the other one? And Seeger was so bad
Speaker 2: and then he just went on on a tear. So
Speaker 2: that's what I mean, like you're just going to kind
Speaker 2: of get that good and then the bad, but it's
Speaker 2: going to not seem interesting or something that you want
Speaker 2: to spend up on.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and adamis, like Visiza has said, admins have
Speaker 1: been really good over the last little bit. So you
Speaker 1: know a lot of stat lines of guys that had
Speaker 1: struggled or had injury issues that have been been putting
Speaker 1: it together and really, you know, doing some of that
Speaker 1: work of like who was good first half, second half
Speaker 1: and breaking down the months is always some of the
Speaker 1: fun offseason and stuff. On the pitcher side, Christian Hobvier
Speaker 1: struck out six over five JP sears okay, seven strikeouts
Speaker 1: five give him only one hit, which is a shocker
Speaker 1: to me. Joey Wentz'd be interesting to see this. Joey
Speaker 1: Wentz five and two thirds, four strikeouts. I know no
Speaker 1: one cares, but Joey Wentz actually scheduled to pitch in
Speaker 1: the Arizona Fall League and he's in the majors right now.
Speaker 1: He's been put on the roster for the Glendale Desert Dogs,
Speaker 1: which is out here. Each team sends like seven to
Speaker 1: eight players starts in a couple of weeks, and the
Speaker 1: Tigers are not only pitching him in the majors, but
Speaker 1: they have him to pitch in the Arizona Fall League,
Speaker 1: which is not uncommon. The Cardinals sent Jordan Hicks out
Speaker 1: last year to get three or four starts to kind
Speaker 1: of get going due to injury. So that's just an
Speaker 1: odd one to me when I see it. Tyler Anderson
Speaker 1: struck out six over six and Pablo Lopez struck out
Speaker 1: six and six and two thirds, give up five hits,
Speaker 1: walked zero on the stat zeros Oh, Jake McCarthy OH
Speaker 1: for nine with four strikeouts, Chris Taylor OH for nine,
Speaker 1: three strikeouts, Gavin Knucks, Gavin LUCKX OH for eight with
Speaker 1: three strikeouts. Also Lane Thomas, Connor Wong, and Josh Young
Speaker 1: all oh for four. Thomas Along had four strikeouts, Young
Speaker 1: had three strikeouts. A little bit of the flare of
Speaker 1: the young guys wearing off. But the McCarthy one is
Speaker 1: sad because McCarthy has been league winning. Little bad run.
Speaker 2: There, yeah, speaking of a hitting home, I have him,
Speaker 2: so yeah, he did wonders for my average yesterday.
Speaker 1: How's that going for you? Are you winning or can
Speaker 1: you win? This sounds horrible.
Speaker 2: We're kind of tied. I mean it's ESPN, so it's
Speaker 2: two weeks long. And as I said in the chat yesterday,
Speaker 2: I think he has no fab left and so I've
Speaker 2: been joking that. I'm like, well, this is an advantage
Speaker 2: that I will definitely misplay and lose because of it.
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to all the bad pickups I'm
Speaker 2: gonna make just because I can and he can't. But
Speaker 2: I'm not enjoying these two things.
Speaker 1: We are built from. We are built from the same
Speaker 1: past simism cloth of Just like I'll find a way
Speaker 1: to screw it up. Don't worry. That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: On the stat zeros for pitchers, Kyle Gibson gave up
Speaker 1: seven in five innings, gave up twelve hits, Ross Strippling
Speaker 1: gave up nine hits, five earned runs in under five innings.
Speaker 1: Zach Rank ten hits, five and one third four earned runs,
Speaker 1: and Luis Castillo rare bad performance, gave up four earned runs,
Speaker 1: only got to four and two thirds of an inning.
Speaker 1: So those are your stat zero's home run calls. The
Speaker 1: board is not changing and doesn't changed at all, at
Speaker 1: least at the top. From forty eight up Mike Mayer
Speaker 1: down here at forty eight. The top is still cat
Speaker 1: Fox at fifty five, l Scales at fifty three, Helpless
Speaker 1: and high Covey at fifty two. So no home run calls.
Speaker 1: We had Eloy, Trout, Austin Rightley all called yesterday and
Speaker 1: none of us hit those. Wonky's got a bonus, but
Speaker 1: let's save it for when we get to our home
Speaker 1: run calls. Here. It's a pretty good bonus today that
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna dig, which I had to do
Speaker 1: some work for. She had homework, essentially caused homework with
Speaker 1: our home run call, which is okay, friends, If you
Speaker 1: guys want, we're gonna look at some prop bets. If
Speaker 1: you guys want to go make a bet, go over
Speaker 1: to bet MGM use promo code leading off. You can
Speaker 1: get up to a one thousand dollars risk free first
Speaker 1: bet by using that promo code. Grab your phone, download
Speaker 1: the app if it's legal in your state, and you
Speaker 1: can do it today, and maybe you could have made
Speaker 1: one of the I'm gonna guess the books are going
Speaker 1: to have some fun bets for pool hooles and for
Speaker 1: Judge breaking the record, So the one I hit yesterday
Speaker 1: isn't going to be the only one, so get locked
Speaker 1: in today support leading off with promo code leading off
Speaker 1: over at bet MGM, and no Crown. I don't want
Speaker 1: to mess up the hair today, so Crown will be
Speaker 1: back next week. I've decided Crown'll be back next week.
Speaker 1: I'm still reeling from the perfect game stuff yesterday, so
Speaker 1: everyone's in timeout. But I did put some bets together,
Speaker 1: and you tell me what you like when you know it.
Speaker 1: The number one prop bet was ONEO Cruise today at
Speaker 1: one total base versus the Yankees projected it too on DK.
Speaker 1: This is minus one seventy. He's projected two point seven technically,
Speaker 1: but it's juiced up minus one seventy on DK. The
Speaker 1: plus money play is the guy everyone thought would get
Speaker 1: a homery yesterday, elo Eloy Jimenez one and a half
Speaker 1: total bases projected at two. This is over at UNI bet.
Speaker 1: You can get it at plus money at plus one
Speaker 1: oh two. On the strikeout prop side, the number one
Speaker 1: strikeout prop is Lance mcculler's only need five because it's
Speaker 1: four and a half. He's projected at six point seven
Speaker 1: against the Rays. It's minus one thirty nine. This is
Speaker 1: on UNI bet. Like the ELOI one and Taeywan Walker
Speaker 1: is your plus money play for strikeouts four and a
Speaker 1: half strikeouts projected at five versus Milwaukee who loves to
Speaker 1: strike out? That one's actually pretty sneaky and that is
Speaker 1: plus one oh five over at DK So, Kelly, any
Speaker 1: of those that you dig, Cruise, Eloy, McCullers or Walker.
Speaker 2: I like both pitching ones. I think mccullars should have
Speaker 2: a good day today, and yeah, Taiwan versus the Brewers,
Speaker 2: and I think it's getaway day. I mean it should
Speaker 2: be a that should be an hour and a half
Speaker 2: long strikeout fest. I don't mind. I like the Cruise
Speaker 2: one just because it's one base and I feel like
Speaker 2: in Yankee Stadium, he can he can find a way
Speaker 2: to get that done unless they just pitch a roll
Speaker 2: us against him the whole time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point, and I wish they could
Speaker 1: do that. I would that'd be great. Wouldn't it be
Speaker 1: great if you could just like designate one pitcher to
Speaker 1: go against one hitter the whole game and they just
Speaker 1: put a rolled this out there and do nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Walker one, this is one of those that it's
Speaker 1: more about the team. Like early in the year when
Speaker 1: you would pick on the Braves. You would pick any
Speaker 1: pitcher strikeout prop against the Braves on the over. This
Speaker 1: is one of those as well. I really like that.
Speaker 1: Plus you're getting plus money on it, and mcculler's is
Speaker 1: probably something similar on DK so you could probably get
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you you'll get mcculler's at four and
Speaker 1: a half strikeouts. Just the juice is going to be different.
Speaker 1: Maybe you could parlaly parlay those together to have a
Speaker 1: little bit of fun if you want over on the
Speaker 1: DFS side, the pitching, I think you have to dig
Speaker 1: around for the pitching today. But if you're looking for
Speaker 1: some implied runs, looking at Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, and
Speaker 1: the Dodgers were all projected over five for the day,
Speaker 1: so if you want to look there, there's some pretty
Speaker 1: good matchups being able to attack on some of the pitchers.
Speaker 1: We already have an early game going on, so that
Speaker 1: Atlanta one doesn't matter for you. But because I would
Speaker 1: have said, because they're going up against this Spino, which
Speaker 1: is always someone you want to go against, but the
Speaker 1: Rangers as well, going up against Tucker Davidson with the
Speaker 1: Angels might be something I take a look at, and
Speaker 1: even if you can get some twins in versus the
Speaker 1: Royals with Daniel Lynch's got over a five era, if
Speaker 1: you want to get some stacks built on those guys,
Speaker 1: I think you can do it. Home run calls and Kelly,
Speaker 1: you have our Wonky Wednesday bonus, tell us all about.
Speaker 2: It, all right. So I'm calling this the ring bearer bonus.
Speaker 2: So if you call player who has a World Series ring,
Speaker 2: then you'll receive two times a number of home runs
Speaker 2: that he hits.
Speaker 1: And for some reason you would feel like that's so easy.
Speaker 1: But as soon as I started, I'm like, the hell,
Speaker 1: how's a ring? Wait a minute, I got to figure
Speaker 1: out who's got the ring? He ain't call Julia Rodriguez
Speaker 1: on this, obviously, but then you just start getting into
Speaker 1: your head about like, well, who the guys with the
Speaker 1: rings and everything like that. So I did a little
Speaker 1: bit of work and obviously your guy, I think might
Speaker 1: have been one of the number one you had to do.
Speaker 1: So let's get your home run call of the day.
Speaker 2: So I called the Raphael Dovers. But I literally was like,
Speaker 2: I think I just completely forgot that they won the
Speaker 2: World Treason twenty eighteen and I also think for some reason,
Speaker 2: Devers is like thirty five years old in my head
Speaker 2: as well, So I was like, oh, was he around
Speaker 2: when they won it in like two thousand whatever, twenty six,
Speaker 2: he's like twenty five or twenty six.
Speaker 1: He might be.
Speaker 2: He had to have been so young when they won it,
Speaker 2: but he was on it.
Speaker 1: So he's twenty five years old. He's going to be
Speaker 1: twenty six in two months. That's incredible. And he has
Speaker 1: been around since twenty seventeen. He was twenty years old
Speaker 1: when he came up in twenty seventeen. That is one
Speaker 1: of those mind blowing ones. You're one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1: He feels like he's been around for three decades.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I saw somebody on Twitter. I put it
Speaker 2: in the chat yesterday that they suggested that the Red
Speaker 2: Sox let Devers go and sign Judge. And I'm saving
Speaker 2: that as like nightmare material to send Mayor when he
Speaker 2: assigns me to do something I don't want to do,
Speaker 2: just be like, well, here, this is what your fan
Speaker 2: base thinks, so good luck.
Speaker 1: You just not want Judge it just doesn't want to
Speaker 1: lose divers.
Speaker 2: No, well he doesn't, I mean he doesn't want a
Speaker 2: thirty one year old judge for ten years versus Devers's
Speaker 2: twenty five.
Speaker 1: Very true. Yeah, the thirty year old guys getting like
Speaker 1: twelve year contracts, it's like, well, what are we doing, dudes, Like,
Speaker 1: let let's not mess around. Let's just give the guy
Speaker 1: the money in the last three or four years that
Speaker 1: we're pretending is it going to be in some type
Speaker 1: of bonus or everything, and not make them sign contracts
Speaker 1: that look like this. It's embarrassing. I decided to go
Speaker 1: with Bookie Betts for my home run call, and Joe
Speaker 1: is judged, so he just doesn't get the extra home
Speaker 1: run bonus. So that is going to be This has
Speaker 1: the potential. I will tell you there's only two more
Speaker 1: if I am doing this correctly on the math, there's
Speaker 1: only two more Wonky Wednesday bonuses, I believe. So, yes,
Speaker 1: this might be one of the final all opportunities for
Speaker 1: one of the home run guys to really make a
Speaker 1: big jump. If you can hit it today, because I
Speaker 1: mean l Scale with one hit and cat Fox not
Speaker 1: doing it can jump into the lead. Or if you
Speaker 1: get a two home run call, I mean, look at
Speaker 1: what can happen. So make those picks accordingly over in
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Pros Discord, which you guys can go and
Speaker 1: join and you can set up They got premium discord
