12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the cycle. I am Ryan Warmley,

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: joined today as always five Mike Mayor, Mayor, how are

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 2: you doing?

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 3: We are a couple weeks into the season.

16
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 4: Now I'm good.

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 5: I have a lot of hitters not doing so hot,

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 5: so I could be doing better on that front. I

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 5: think in one league that we're in together, I have

20
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 5: an offense that's about as bad as it can be.

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 5: I have I check it daily and at one point

22
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 5: I had like thirteen points. There's ten categories, which meeans

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 5: I'm near the bottom, and a lot of those categories.

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 5: My pitching is doing great, hitting not so great, but

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 5: that seems to be the case for a lot of

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 5: people in the early going.

27
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: Right now, we are facing each other in another one

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: of those leagues, in the head to head points deep

29
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: keeper league that we are in, and I will, out

30
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: of respect to you, not share the current score in

31
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: that head to head matchup. You were complimenting my Ovechkin

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: sweater before we started recording. I rocked it on the

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: Dynasty podcast earlier this week too, just giving love to

34
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: my guy, the only player that has ever made me

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: care about hockey. Hockey is not anywhere near the top

36
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: of my list of sports I prioritize as a fan,

37
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: but I am from the DC area, so the Caps

38
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: are my team and have been and I can. I

39
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: have memories in middle school of watching like Ov score

40
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: the goal against the Coyotes Coyotes where he was like

41
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: on his back and kind of on his side and

42
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: like somehow still scored. Like I was sitting in middle

43
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: school watching that highlight. And now here I am my

44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: thirties and he's still he's still dropping forty goal seasons,

45
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: So super fun to see him get the record. And

46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: I had to represent him on the show this week.

47
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: We always not always, but we have had some episodes

48
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: of the show where people weigh in on our sartorial

49
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: choices of our outfits. So hopefully the OV sweater gets

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: a positive grade from the fan.

51
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 4: I waited in.

52
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 5: I went in on my own last week because I

53
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 5: watched the show back like I always do and realized

54
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 5: I was wearing a brown shirt in front of a

55
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 5: brown bookcase, and I was like, well, probably shouldn't do

56
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 5: that again.

57
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 4: It's kind of like wearing a green shirt in front

58
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 4: of a green screen.

59
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: It's better than wearing a green shirt because we could

60
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: in editing turn that into something if we chose to

61
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: if you were wearing green, So probably better to wear

62
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: brown in that case. Let's jump in. We're gonna be talking,

63
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: you know, our usual stuff here around on the bases.

64
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna get into some waiver pickups and some bilos

65
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: and sell highs and all that good stuff. That's all

66
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: together on the audio side. The show is split up

67
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: on the video side, so if you're watching on YouTube,

68
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: be sure to check out all the episodes as they drop.

69
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: Kind Of throughout the next couple of days, we kind

70
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: of spread out the content throughout the weekend, so we

71
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: have something every day for everybody. This will be kind

72
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: of the first large section of the show on the

73
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: video side, and then we'll let jump into the other

74
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: kind of shorter versions of the rest of the show

75
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: on that side. Again on the audio side. If you

76
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: want it all kind of in one place, that is

77
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: what this episode will be. We will start with routing

78
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: the bases as always Mayor and kind of like right

79
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: off the bat, I just wrote down like so many

80
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: injuries because there are a lot of them going on

81
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: here in the start of the season and even just

82
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: particularly in this last week since our last episode, there

83
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: have been a lot of them.

84
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: Jackson Merrill on IL.

85
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: Justin Steele, friend of Fantasy Pros, on the IL after

86
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: a strong start why at Langford has four home runs,

87
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: but now he has the oblique injury. Zach Eflin was

88
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: pitching very well in Arizona, came out of the game

89
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: with shoulder soreness. Apparently the MRI was somewhat positive, but

90
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: he's still is.

91
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: Going on IL anyway.

92
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: Spencer Araghetty obviously, like you kind of wrote here in

93
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: the notes, freak accident that warm ups just kind of

94
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: breaking the thumb on a line drive, Blake Snell, Victor Roebliss,

95
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: who was somebody that you and I both really liked

96
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: in draft season now has his wrist issue. Can tell

97
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: Marte series of weeks is what you wrote down here,

98
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: kind of getting that update of how long he's going

99
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: to be out, Pablo Lopez in the eye out, So

100
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: a lot of different names. Who kind of stands out

101
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: most to you among that group? Obviously Marte and merrill

102
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: are probably like the best, you know, pure fantasy players

103
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: in that group, But does anybody stand out just in

104
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: terms of what we've seen in the early going or

105
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: thoughts on the injuries from that group?

106
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, the the Jackson merril One, it seems like it

107
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 5: like hamstrings are always like terrifying, but it seems like

108
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 5: it might not be that long of a state because

109
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 5: he just kind of like missed a couple of days

110
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 5: and they kind of weren't sure if he's going to

111
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 5: go on the aisle or not, and then they just

112
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 5: decided to play it safe. So hopefully for him, it's

113
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 5: a minimum's day and he'll be right back. They could

114
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 5: tell Marte one, it's like, you know, the update with

115
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: got was like he's gonna be out for a series

116
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: of weeks. Like that's not a good update because that

117
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 5: means he's out for like three weeks minimum, plus a

118
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 5: rehab assignment, Like you're gonna be out with out without

119
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: to tell Martape for like a month at least. And

120
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 5: then Victor robles like not the biggest name, but someone

121
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 5: you and I, like you said, we're grabbing a lot

122
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 5: in draft season, and he's gonna be out a really

123
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 5: long time, to the point where he's like if you

124
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 5: don't have a decent amount of IL spots in your league,

125
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 5: like he's going to have to be a drop because

126
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: you're you're gonna be out with it without him. I

127
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 5: can't say that without him out with him for months,

128
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 5: like potentially three or four months. So brutal blow to

129
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 5: like you know, not like the most like premier name,

130
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 5: but a really long term injury for someone we were

131
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 5: hoping to get celibatting average in a bunch of deals

132
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 5: from and like we're going to talk about throughout you

133
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 5: know this video in the show, hitting is kind of

134
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 5: barren out there, you know, the a lot of like

135
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 5: you know, what we would think is like elite great hitters,

136
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 5: or off to slow starts. And if you start looking

137
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 5: at the free agent and the waiver wire, there's not

138
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: a lot out there. I I need hitting at a

139
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: bunch of leagues, and I'm looking at the wire and

140
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 5: it's just barren. And there's like really deep names. I'm

141
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 5: just like, and we'll talk about one of them on

142
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 5: a really hot start soon. But yeah, there's not a

143
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: lot out there. So the hitters in particular are are

144
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 5: tough to be without for a while, and the White

145
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 5: Langford one they don't seem like that concerned, but it's

146
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 5: an oblique and obliques are always tricky, like who knows

147
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 5: how long he's gonna be out, So that's not great either.

148
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: I think I said wrist when I was reading through

149
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: all those for roeblists. It was the shoulder that was fractured.

150
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 2: Just just to clarify on that one, because you would think,

151
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: like a wrist, Oh, that's not that you would have

152
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: tooke months for that.

153
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 3: It's the shoulder, which.

154
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: You and I can weigh in on. Not that we

155
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: fractured our shoulders, but we know what that's like for sure,

156
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: recovering from that. Yeah, I mean it, And it's like,

157
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: does this feel like more injuries to you for the

158
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: first couple weeks of the season than other years. It

159
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: felt like that a little to me. I don't know

160
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: that the data backs that up. I do feel like

161
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: the early season it always feels like kind of the

162
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: injuries all come at once. But it just felt like,

163
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: you know, I was looking like the just like the

164
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: MLB headlines on ESPN, and like every other headline was

165
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 2: this other player is headed to il just seemed to

166
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: really become kind of the dominant story of this week.

167
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: Did you feel that way?

168
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: From like a macro level perspective.

169
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 5: It felt like more hitters than in recent years, because

170
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 5: I feel like in previous years it's like pitcher, pitcher, pitcher, pitcher,

171
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: They're just like down and we're like, well, there goes

172
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 5: all the pitching dep we thought we had. This year,

173
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 5: it feels like more hitters are just like dropping in

174
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 5: the first two weeks of the season.

175
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: You know, it's a long list.

176
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: And there's of course the people who have been coming back,

177
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: like Gunner missed the first week of the season, he's

178
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: now back. You know, you have here in the notes

179
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: like Tatis and Freeman coming back. Maybe by the time

180
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: you're even listening to this episode, they're already back Ranger Suarez.

181
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: We have assignment starting as of the day that we're

182
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: recording this. So not just the guys who are getting

183
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: hurt now, but who were hurt already kind of at

184
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: the end of spring, even earlier in the season, and

185
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: who are maybe nowworking their way back. But yeah, just

186
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: like a lot of them going on and in a

187
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: scenario where you know, it's already kind of on the

188
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: eight ball for a lot of teams on the hitting

189
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: side of thing.

190
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, speaking of we didn't we didn't write him down

191
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 5: in the sheet. But one name who should be coming back,

192
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: it's really his next week is Spencer Strider because he

193
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 5: just pitched. He should have thrown about ninety pitches today

194
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 5: and his rehab start. I think he just finished that

195
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 5: rehab start.

196
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: He did so, I don't know if you had seen

197
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: the actual stat line. Have you seen the stat line

198
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: from that start? No?

199
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: Is it bad?

200
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: I have it up. No, it's amazing.

201
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: He threw ninety pitches, he got twenty five whiffs, five

202
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: and a third innings pitched, which is sixteen outs recorded,

203
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 2: thirteen strikeouts.

204
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: Amazing.

205
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: Now he's facing.

206
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: Minor league hitters of course, but there was one earned run,

207
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: three hits, two walks, but I believe he faced a

208
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: total of I think twenty one batters and struck out

209
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: thirteen of them.

210
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: I was actually bummed because sorry, I was actually bummed

211
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 5: because where I live in Georgia, I'm about an hour

212
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 5: I'm like thirty minutes from the Braves Park, I'm like

213
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 5: an hour from Triple A Guenette where he was doing

214
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 5: his rehib start, and then like I'm another an hour

215
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 5: in the other direction from their roam Single A team.

216
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 5: So I was hoping to catch like a rehab start

217
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 5: from him, but he was there on the Triple A

218
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 5: when I was on the road this week, so I

219
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 5: was like, oh man, I could have gone to that game,

220
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 5: but they're on the road.

221
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, could a scene an awesome start. I want to

231
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: news and notes. As we were on the bases here,

232
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: we have to talk about Kyron Paris.

233
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: I was staring at.

234
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 2: Him a few days ago in one of our shared

235
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: leagues to pick him up, and I had like set

236
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: up the addition, and I could not decide which one

237
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: of my players I was going to drop for him.

238
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: So I ended up not making the pickup, obviously regretting

239
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: that immensely. Now. I was a believer in him as

240
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: a worthy addition, but that sometimes, especially early in the season,

241
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: that sometimes the trickiest part of fantasy isn't knowing who

242
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: to add, it's knowing who to drop. And I was

243
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: unable to make that decision. And so far, I mean,

244
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: we'll see how much this lasts, but so far it's

245
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: certainly costing me with him what a tremendous art I like.

246
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: You can kind of run through some of the stats

247
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: if you want. He's been fantastic. Four stolen bases, five

248
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: home runs, a four to forty batting average. He's twenty

249
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: five at bats, eleven hits in those at bats, eleven

250
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: runs scored already.

251
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: His OPS is over sixteen hundred.

252
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot of small sample size with some of

253
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: those ratio stats, but even the counting stats have been

254
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: wildly impressive. And this is for a guy who's twenty

255
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 2: three years old, does not have a ton of experience.

256
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: Kind of coming out of I mean not kind of

257
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: coming out of nowhere.

258
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 4: One million percent coming out of nowhere.

259
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah I was, I said, kind of, and I was like, no,

260
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: he's coming out of nowhere. There was a great graphic

261
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: that I saw assessment his family Barbecue reposted highest ops

262
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: through first ten games of a season for anybody age

263
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: twenty three or younger.

264
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: This is all time.

265
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: Number one on the list is Jimmy Fox in nineteen

266
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 2: twenty eight. Number three on the list is Babe Ruth

267
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighteen. Number two on the list Kyrin Paris

268
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five.

269
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 5: Remarkable, is Kyen Paris the best hitter in baseball? Yeah,

270
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 5: it's like you said, it's coming out of nowhere. His

271
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 5: his It's not like he just had an unimpressive minor

272
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 5: league career. He's stunk in the minor League's like stunk

273
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 5: out loud and to the point where it's almost like,

274
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 5: how is he even on the roster like he in

275
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 5: the miners last year, he've had one sixty seven and

276
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 5: he's always had speed, he's always had you know, hit

277
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 5: tool problems. There's a story going around, I believe it's

278
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 5: in the athletic all about how he vamped his swing

279
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 5: this aw season. He worked with Aaron Judges, personal hitting coach,

280
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 5: to kind of, you know, completely overhaul this swing, like

281
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 5: tap into more power and lo and behold. So far

282
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 5: it's working, and it's just one of those things where

283
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 5: it's like, do we think he's a completely different player

284
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 5: now he's gonna he's gonna break out just be this

285
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 5: power hitter. Probably not, like, you know, I don't think

286
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 5: there's any chance that he maintains this kind of pace.

287
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 5: But also, like we were just talking about a lot

288
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 5: of fantasy managers need hitting right now, and he's someone

289
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 5: who's hitting right now, and so sure go ahead and

290
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 5: add him in daily leagues, you know, or you know

291
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 5: leagues that you know players managers needed hitting last week.

292
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 5: He may have been already picked up, but in a

293
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 5: lot of leagues he's still out there in in like

294
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 5: weekly leagues where you know, he had like a couple

295
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: of big games ahead of like the last waiver period, Like,

296
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 5: you know, he may not have been added, but he's

297
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 5: going to be added this weekend, and it's gonna be wild,

298
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 5: especially in some of these you know, bigger leagues, like

299
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 5: what the fab looks like. I know, I have a

300
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: couple of bids already out for him, and I'm probably

301
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 5: not going to get him because I'm not gonna go crazy,

302
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 5: but I do want him, you know, even if this

303
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 5: just only lasts for like two more weeks, I can

304
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: really use those two weeks. And so it's like, do

305
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 5: I think he's this, you know, Aaron Judge power hitter.

306
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: Now?

307
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 5: No, but maybe he's you know, revamped his swing to

308
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 5: the point where he's a different player where he can

309
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 5: be really hot for two more weeks and then maybe

310
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 5: serviceable for a few more weeks or a couple more months.

311
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 5: Like maybe he'll at least like hit for a decent

312
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 5: enough average and he's gonna we know, he has speed,

313
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 5: he's gonna steal bases if he's in the lineup, So

314
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 5: maybe he'll you know, is he gonna hit four forty?

315
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: No?

316
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: Is he gonna hit two forty maybe.

317
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 5: Is he gonna hit two ten maybe, But if he

318
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 5: can hit like two fifty and hit five, six, seven,

319
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 5: eight more home runs, he's probably gonna steal thirty bases.

320
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 5: Like there's a lot of value in that. And so

321
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 5: it's just it's hard to like, no one really knows

322
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 5: is this real or not? Like there's no way it's

323
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 5: this real. But is it real enough for him to

324
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 5: just be usable in fantasy And for the short term yes,

325
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 5: for the long term, no one really.

326
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: Corbyn Young, who I think used to maybe write for

327
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: fantasy pros at one point. If I don't know if

328
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: he ever did or not, I want to say that

329
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: he didn't. He didn't, but I thought he might have

330
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: at one point at any rate. He's a fantasy baseball

331
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: writer who I enjoy, and he had some tweets earlier

332
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: today just kind of about how Paris's pulled bat speed

333
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: has gained a lot two and a half miles per

334
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: hour and the game pulled average eggs of velocity has

335
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: kind of been aligned with that, kind of speaking to

336
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: your point about like the swing changes. I think it's

337
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: worth noting too. And I forget who said this. I

338
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: saw somebody point this out like he was drafted as

339
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: a seventeen year old right a year before COVID like

340
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: really messed with everybody's development. Uh, And at that age

341
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: and lack of professional experience, I would imagine he would

342
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: was maybe more susceptible to being hurt by that missed

343
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: time than maybe.

344
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 3: Some other profiles of players.

345
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: So I'm open to the idea that this is legitimate

346
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: to a degree. I guess what I would ask you is,

347
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: on a scale of one to ten, if you had

348
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: to assign a numerical value to it, how legitimate would

349
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: you say this is? Because obviously nobody's thinking that this

350
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: is now the you know, number one overall pick in

351
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six drafts. I mean this this could be

352
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: like a Chris Shelton and it's like, oh, what a

353
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: fun April, and we just look back and remember it

354
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: fondly years from now, like, oh, I remember the kir

355
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: in Paris, you know April we had. But at the

356
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: same time, I think there's, like I said, a degree

357
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: of legitimacy too.

358
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: It.

359
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: So where on that scale are you like.

360
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 5: At three, you know, three of being real? I will say, I,

361
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 5: you know, I was kind of like crapping on his

362
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 5: minor league numbers. His twenty twenty three granted he was

363
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: double A, but in one hundred thirteen games he had

364
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 5: fourteen home runs and he's still forty four bases while

365
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 5: batting two fifty five with a seventeen point one percent

366
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: walk rate. So that's not terrible. It's not like, you know, normally,

367
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 5: like in the minor league's coming up, you want to

368
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 5: see someone hitting higher than two fifty because if you know,

369
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 5: if you can only hit two fifty in double A,

370
00:15:58,800 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 5: what are you going to do in Triple A? In

371
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: the probably not hit two fifty. He probably hit significantly

372
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 5: lower than that, but it was two years ago. Last

373
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 5: year weird year for him. He kind of bounced all

374
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: over the place, But like, can you get two forty,

375
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 5: hit a dozen home runs and steal forty bases? Maybe,

376
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 5: and like there's value in that. It's just like who

377
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 5: you know, it's hard to say. This really came out

378
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 5: of nowhere and he's been this good. Like I sent

379
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: to you earlier today the Fantasy Pro's VBR and it's

380
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 5: Aaron Judge, Kyle Tucker, and Karen Paris.

381
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's been awesome.

382
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: I hope it continues because it's certainly fun fun to watch.

383
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: Let's look at some early pitching standouts. We're kind of

384
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: asking the question real or not real. You added most

385
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: of the names to the list. I threw on a

386
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: couple at the end. I'll do the names that I

387
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: added on here at the end first, just because I

388
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: only had a couple of them, and then we'll get

389
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: into the the ones that you added after Casey Meis

390
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: and Max Meyer and there We're actually gonna be talking

391
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: about both of them a little bit later in the show,

392
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: so we can kind of go quickly on them.

393
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 3: In general, I.

394
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: Do subscribe to the idea that this is real again

395
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: to a degree. I'm not saying that these are you know,

396
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: superstar Fantasy aces or anything. But we talked last week

397
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: about how much I like Casey Miiz as an early

398
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: pickup and somebody that I'm just very on board with

399
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: the idea of there's clearly pedigree here. He's only twenty

400
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 2: seven years old. Like I'm just a big believer in

401
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: these guys, Like when they show you they're taking a step,

402
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: believe it. And he's obviously been you know, very good

403
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: through a couple of starts here you know, particularly encouraging

404
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: to see coming off that first start, which was really

405
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: nice that he was then able to do it against

406
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: the Yankees who have started off so hot, and to

407
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: have a really great game there, I thought, was, you know,

408
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: much more encouraging than seeing like against the Mariners he

409
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: went five and two thirds, one hit, three walks, and

410
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: six strikeouts. Okay, that's great. It is the Mariner's lineup

411
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: to do it against the Yankees, and I know it

412
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: was in Detroit, but to do it against the Yankees

413
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: and go six innings, four hits, one earned run, three walks,

414
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: six strikeouts, again I thought was really encouraging. So we

415
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: talked a bit last week about maybe some of the

416
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: the pitch usage usage stuff for him and the sweeper

417
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: had been talked about. It looked like according to stat cast,

418
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: the knuckle curve went up a lot in this last outing.

419
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: So that's still really early to kind of see how

420
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 2: that that pitch usage normalizes. But again, my approach has

421
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: always been when a guy with this kind of pedigree

422
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: shows you that they're taking a step forward, I want

423
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: to believe it. And it's kind of along the similar

424
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 2: lines with Max Meyer. He's somebody that I forget who

425
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: it was. Somebody on on our MLB Fantasy Fest stream

426
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: this year was talking him up. Maybe you remember who

427
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: it was that was talking to which analysts, But like

428
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: he was, you know, kind of a favorite sleeper of

429
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: a bunch of different people, honestly, and again, a guy

430
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 2: with draft pedigree who you know has this real opportunity.

431
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: To take takes forward.

432
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: He's younger than mys but I again, two guys who

433
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: I just have been really impressed with what I've seen

434
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: so far, and I am eye into it for as

435
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 2: long as you know, I don't have a reason to

436
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: think otherwise.

437
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you said, it's the pedigree's there. He's really interesting.

438
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 5: It looks like stack cast has actually reclassified that knuckle

439
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 5: curve and they're carobably gonna slurve.

440
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 4: Now.

441
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm I'm I was, I was looking

442
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 2: at the wrong thing. I meant to say, slurve. You're right,

443
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: thank you for correcting that.

444
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, to the point where like last year, they don't

445
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 5: even have the knuckle curve for this year, but last

446
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 5: year looked like he threw like a slurve, like a

447
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 5: little bit and a knuckle curve like seven percent of

448
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: the time, and now they're saying he's his slurve is

449
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 5: his second most used pitch after his for steamer, throwing

450
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 5: it over twenty five percent of the time, and right

451
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 5: now opponents are only batting uh two to two two

452
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 5: against it with a you know, point one one one

453
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 5: expected batting average. So that's always interesting when you see

454
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 5: kind of like, you know, very early on, kind of

455
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 5: like a reason for you know, some some breakout potential.

456
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: So, yeah, do you before we move on to Meyer,

457
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: I just want to also ask on buys. So when

458
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 2: you look at at some of the stack cast stuff,

459
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: the real difference besides the slur which again thank you

460
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: for correcting me, is forcing. The forcing fastball has just

461
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: been a lot more effective. He's not throwing it. You know,

462
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: it was thirty eight percent of the time last year,

463
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: thirty five percent of the time so far this year.

464
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: But last year opponents were batting three hundred office four seamer.

465
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: This year it's seven to seven. Like, the spin rate

466
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: is actually a little lower this year so far, and

467
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: again it's really yeah, velocity is a little bit down,

468
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: but the put away percentage is double, the whiff rate

469
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: is much higher, the extension is even lower, but it's

470
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: been way more effective of a pitch for him, again

471
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: in the very early going. Do you kind of ascribe

472
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: any like, do you think that that's relevant this early

473
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 2: or is that you think just the fluke and it's

474
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: probably a combination of a bunch of different things.

475
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 4: It's probably a combination. You know.

476
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 5: It seemed like, I don't know, maybe he got a

477
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 5: little bit of bad luck last year. I'd be curious

478
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 5: if the decrease in velocity is somewhat intentional for either

479
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 5: location or to kind of tunnel it better with his

480
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 5: secondary pitches. Kind Of impossible to know that this early

481
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 5: on without you know, talking to him, But it could

482
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 5: just be that it's playing, you know, his the four

483
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 5: seamer slurve combination is just playing better together and then

484
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 5: splitting the you know, throwing the split finger in there,

485
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 5: which has been really effective. So it could just be

486
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 5: because he's throwing. Interestingly enough, he's throwing his split finger harder,

487
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 5: So it could just be maybe he's just taking a

488
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 5: little bit off the fastball, throwing to split a little

489
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 5: bit harder, and so there's not as much of a

490
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 5: difference between those pitches anymore.

491
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: To kind of, you know, keep keep it more balance.

492
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 5: Really small sample size, but off to a really good start.

493
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 5: But again, this is a former first overall pick who

494
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 5: we knew kind of had this in him. You know,

495
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: we've seen the potential before. He just hasn't put it

496
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 5: all together, and so we'll see early returns are very good.

497
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: Any quick thoughts on Meyer before we get to the

498
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: list of your names.

499
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 5: Here another player, you know, high pedigree player we've been

500
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 5: excited about for a while, Like he's you know, I

501
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 5: think we talked about in a recent episode, somewhat recent

502
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 5: episode of the cycle where he was one of those

503
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 5: guys who like was drafted and they were talking about

504
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 5: him pitching that year, like he was that good, like

505
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 5: in the majors. So yeah, really really exciting to start

506
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 5: for him. I always wonder if like his is his

507
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 5: future destined for the bullpen with like how hardy throws,

508
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 5: But you know, I'd love for him just taking the

509
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 5: rotation and stay healthy. But we know, we it's a

510
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 5: very small sample size, and it's also a small sample

511
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 5: size for his career because he hasn't been healthy. But

512
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 5: stuff looks pretty good so far. Underlying numbers so far

513
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 5: look pretty good.

514
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: He is giving up loud contact.

515
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 2: Like the exsit velocity is ninety three and a half

516
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 2: miles per hour that he's allowing, which is up over

517
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: last year. But a lot of the other data looks

518
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: pretty good.

519
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he's you know, I don't want to keep

520
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 5: repeating it, but you know, high pedigree electric arm.

521
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: There's a reason I kind of put the two of

522
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: them together in terms of like that pedigree, maybe putting

523
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: it all together. This year, they're simply, like I said,

524
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: Meyer's younger but similar ages.

525
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 5: So yeah, all slightly not like as drastic as myes,

526
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 5: but slightly adjusted pitch mix. He's throwing his four steamer

527
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 5: less and his slider slider and sinker more and just

528
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 5: kind of adjusting that pitch mix. And you know, sometimes

529
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 5: it only takes a slight change like that to uh,

530
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 5: you know, because he's always leaned on his slider, but

531
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 5: now he's.

532
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like still last last year, slider was about

533
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: forty point six percent and for steamer was thirty nine

534
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: point six percent. So combined, that's over eighty percent are

535
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: those two pitches. This year, it is a little more

536
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: spread out. The slider is still thirty seven percent, for

537
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: steamers twenty four percent. Change up fourteen, sinker thirteen, sweeper ten.

538
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: So just more options to work with, is you know,

539
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: naturally going to kind of improve some of those how

540
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: they all perform, you would think.

541
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, more sweeper is generally going to mean less of

542
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 5: a slider because they're somewhat similar.

543
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: All right, run us through some of the names that

544
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: you threw out here for real or not real.

545
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 5: So one of the real real not real I had

546
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 5: to include is Robert Suarez the best closer in baseball,

547
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 5: just like you know, we like to anoint people the

548
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 5: best in baseball because he was someone we were very

549
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 5: concerned about coming into the year, and lo and behold,

550
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 5: he's six for six and save opportunities with a zero

551
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 5: point zero era and it looks fine despite you know,

552
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 5: all the concerns coming into the year. I'll close it

553
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 5: back to you. Do you think this is legit? Do

554
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 5: you think he's just kind of like figured it out

555
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 5: and we were worried about nothing, or do you think

556
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 5: it's just too early, too small of example size and

557
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 5: that you know there's gonna be trouble ahead.

558
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: Yes to both of those.

559
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: Not that I think there's gonna be trouble ahead, but

560
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: like it's it's too especially for a closer. It's like

561
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: too early to get too far over our skis. But

562
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: I'm not like that concern long Like, I don't think

563
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 2: he's going to have zero RA going forward, but I

564
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: would be very confident with him as my closer because

565
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 2: I think the Projets are obviously gonna win a lot

566
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 2: of games. They're a good team. I like that we've

567
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: seen the strong start from him that will you would think,

568
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 2: just from a psychological perspectitive kind of helps solidify the

569
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: role in the eyes of you know, decision makers in

570
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: San Diego. And I think he's a you know, talented picture.

571
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, I would.

572
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 3: I would definitely lean on the side of real for him.

573
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, And he's leaned more on fastball change up than

574
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 5: mixing in the sinker less than he had in the past,

575
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 5: not like a lot less, but he's throwing his change

576
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 5: up a lot more, which is interesting, interesting mixed up

577
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 5: for him, because he was last year through his change

578
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 5: up like twelve percent of the time. Now it's over

579
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 5: thirty two percent of the time, So he's really mixing

580
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 5: in the change up and.

581
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 4: So far, so good.

582
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 5: Because I guess if you're going to be a two

583
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 5: pitch pitcher. Four seamer Sinker probably aren't the two you

584
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 5: want to you know, they're.

585
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: The four seamer. He's only thrown forty eight percent of

586
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: the time. Last year was seventy percent, So that that's

587
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: where the change up usage has eaten into is the

588
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: for seamer.

589
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 5: And if you can figure out a good change up

590
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 5: smart and so far no one's hitting it, so good

591
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 5: for him.

592
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, who else you got?

593
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 5: Nicolodolo is another player, a pitcher off to a strong

594
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 5: star art. But there is some you know, I'll just

595
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 5: run through. I'll throw out a bunch of damp since

596
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 5: we're going here, Nicolodolo, Chris Bubach, Tyler, Molly, Easton, Lucas

597
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 5: and those are those are the ones. So Lodolo, Boobach, Molly,

598
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 5: and Lucas. I'll throw it back to you. Do you like,

599
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 5: are you excited about any of these four pictures because

600
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 5: they're all all kind of off to like strong starts,

601
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 5: like top twenty five EVR starts. Some have higher pedigree

602
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 5: than others. Lodolo has looked really good, but there are

603
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 5: some concerning kind of underlying numbers there, like it's not

604
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 5: he's kind of like pitch into contact, which is not

605
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 5: really what we're you know, not really what.

606
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 4: He's known for.

607
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 5: Boobach has always been kind of like the analytics darlings

608
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 5: people have always liked him, It's just kind of been inconsistent.

609
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 5: Easton Lucas not a name I've heard a lot about

610
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 5: until this year, and Tyler Molly is a guy, another

611
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 5: guy that the analytics starlings have always liked. I've always

612
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 5: liked Tyler Molly, but he's always had like injury concerns,

613
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 5: but all four off to pretty strong starts.

614
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: It's it's an interesting the question because the guy I

615
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: really liked Lodolo at Costs and drafts this year, he

616
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 2: was one of my favorite later targets. So part of

617
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: me just wants to say, like, oh, this is confirmation

618
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: that I was right. I'm really happy with the strong start,

619
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 2: you know, era under one through three starts, eighteen and

620
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 2: two thirds innings, you know, whip under one. But then

621
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: at the same time, like the strikeout weight rate is

622
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: actually like drastically down compared to what it was like

623
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: like alarmingly.

624
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 5: Low, unsustainably lentile.

625
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, just eleven point three percent strikeout rate the last

626
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: three years for him, we're twenty nine, twenty eight, and

627
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 2: twenty four percent, so obviously that's like super low. The

628
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: walk rate is also quite low, you know, which is

629
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: lower than has been in recent years, so that is good.

630
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, like a whiff rate fifteenth percentile, strikeout rate,

631
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: tenth percentile. I know it's early, but those are like

632
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: really concerning. So it's it's difficult for me to answer

633
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: on the Lodolo because I liked him coming into the

634
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 2: year and like, on the one hand, great, well if

635
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: you started him unless you really needed those strikeouts, you've

636
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: been really happy with everything else is given you. But

637
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: it's hard to look at what he's done so far

638
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: and say, yes, this is the real, you know, breakout

639
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: that I'm buying into long term.

640
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: Bubitch is interesting because.

641
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 2: I watched that Orioles game very closely, obviously, and he

642
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: was just like totally like they could not do anything

643
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 2: with him. Now, Brandon Hyde I have a lot of

644
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: problems with as the Orioles manager, and he is like

645
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: a complete just like he worships at the feet of

646
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: righty's versus lefties and does not believe in reverse splits.

647
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: So that whole.

648
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,239
Speaker 2: Series really was really frustrating in that regard, and I

649
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: had a lot of problems with the lineup that he

650
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: threw out against Bubitch, But setting that aside, you know,

651
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: he obviously did look good, like you mentioned kind of

652
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: like historically, an analytics star like Mally is somebody that

653
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: I have always liked. So it's it's fun to see

654
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: like having a strong start as well, and like truth, like,

655
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: I was aware of who Easton Lucas was, but I'm

656
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: not going to say that I have like a long

657
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: history of paying that close attention to him.

658
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: So it's it's hard.

659
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: It's harder for him for me to be like, oh,

660
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: this is like a flash in the pan or whatever,

661
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 2: because I don't have as long of a runway with

662
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: how closely I've paid attention to him in the past.

663
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, Lodolo is the one that, like I said,

664
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: that I liked most coming into the year, so that

665
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: in that perspective, I would love to say this is

666
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: confirmation of my priors. But on the other hand, I

667
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: can recognize what the data is saying.

668
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 5: I will say, of all the four of them, like,

669
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 5: there are you know, different things to be concerned about.

670
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 5: The we talked about Lodola The one for Tyler Molly

671
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 5: is if you look at like his stuff plus numbers,

672
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: there's some bread flags there, Like it's pretty low there.

673
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 5: All of his pitches are pretty much below average, except

674
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 5: for his cutter, which is like just above average. But

675
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 5: his his his splitter is like about as bad as

676
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 5: it can be in terms of stuff. Plus his fastball

677
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 5: is like fine, like just under average. Slider is like

678
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 5: pretty poor. So there are some concerns there. Even though

679
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 5: I have generally liked him historically, you know, it's just matting.

680
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 3: I can't believe he's only thirty.

681
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: I feel like I've been thinking about Tyler Molly for

682
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: a lot longer than that.

683
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I always dream of that twenty twenty one season

684
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 5: when he struck out over two hundred guys with a

685
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 5: sub for Era, and I was like, we finally made it.

686
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 5: It's finally Tyler Moley season. And he basically hasn't pitched much.

687
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 5: I know he did pitch in twenty twenty two, but

688
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 5: he's missed most of the last two seasons.

689
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: Let's get to our early victory laps and El's obviously

690
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: you know we're calling me he's way too early for

691
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: a reason, but just kind of early on guys that

692
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: we liked, that we are feeling good about, and you know,

693
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: kind of you're proud of those early picks and guys

694
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: that we're also recognizing. Maybe we're we're not too smart

695
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: by us. Let's start with the victory laps. We'll keep

696
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: it positive here to kick things off. Who is your

697
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: early season way too early victory.

698
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 4: Lap minus Ay swust Lezardo.

699
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 5: So when we talked about last week, who he was just,

700
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 5: you know, again really early, but you know, I might

701
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 5: have to take this early victory lap because he's someone

702
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 5: with an injury history, so I might have to take

703
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 5: this victory lap while I can. But he's someone who

704
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 5: was going as I talked about during draft season, he

705
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 5: was going way too late in drafts. And he's another

706
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 5: guy who I was like, this guy has been really

707
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 5: good before, and I feel like we're just kind of

708
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 5: forgetting about him.

709
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 4: And he's in my.

710
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 5: Opinion, going like eighty spots later than he should be

711
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 5: and so far off to a really good start twelve innings,

712
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 5: nineties strikeouts, one point five ora and looks really sharp

713
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 5: out there. So early victory lap for me would be

714
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 5: on the pitching side or Hayzus Lozzardo.

715
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: I think it's probably telling that we both went for

716
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: pitchers on the victory lap side and both went for

717
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 2: hitters on the l's side. That seems reflective of fantasy

718
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: baseball these first few weeks. I went with Hunter Green.

719
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: I told you I thought it was like downright disrespectful

720
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: that his ADP was in the nineties. You know, later

721
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: into draft season, coming off the season he had last

722
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: year in ERA under three, he made twenty six starts.

723
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 3: I know, like you think about him as like an

724
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: injury risk guy.

725
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: You know, he threw one hundred and fifty pitch that's

726
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: not far off the most in baseball, like in modern baseball.

727
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: So you know, I was not really concerned about the

728
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: usage in terms of that side of things for him.

729
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: You know, whip was one oh two and it's been

730
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: even better this year. A lot of a lot of

731
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: the metrics on his stuff are superb and really always

732
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 2: have been. I know in spring training they were like

733
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 2: top of the charts. Through three starts, he's got an

734
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: ERA of one thirty one in twenty and two thirds

735
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: innings pitch, He's got twenty three strikeouts, a whip of

736
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: zero point six three and somebody that like, it's not

737
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: even that he's like changed things up that much. He

738
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: is throwing his fastball a little bit more fifty five

739
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: percent up to sixty two percent of the time, but

740
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: it's largely just a lot of the same. He's just

741
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 2: I thought was good last year and should have been

742
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: going as a top seventy five pick easily, like I

743
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: maybe even higher than that would have been where I

744
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: would have like been ranking him. And the fact that

745
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: he was almost outside the top one hundred I thought

746
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: was really crazy throughout draft season. And I am very

747
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 2: happy that I am that I invested in him, but

748
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: pretty much everywhere I possibly could.

749
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: And he's still only twenty.

750
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: Five, Like it feels like he's been around forever because

751
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 2: he was drafted young and has been the top prospect

752
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: for a while. It's been up for a few years,

753
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: but dude's only twenty five years old. It would not

754
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: shock me for him to take another step forward. So

755
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: I'm feeling very good about about Hunter Green.

756
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, his his underlying numbers, you know, back up everything

757
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 5: that he's doing, and you know, we talk about stuff.

758
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 5: Plus his are like breaking the charts that are like

759
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 5: you know, read to the point that they're bursting the

760
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 5: thermstat Yeah, just looks really really good, Like looks like

761
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 5: the best picture in baseball right now.

762
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 2: The one thing I will point out for him is

763
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: his groundball rate is really low, and that.

764
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 5: Concern is not a problem in that ballpark.

765
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: I was just saying, with the home ballpark, you know,

766
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: possibly a concern there, but that's like basically the only

767
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: red flag, like the rest is. I'm like really excited

768
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: about Hunter Green, and again, I think it's gonna end

769
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: up being one of my one of my league winners

770
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 2: of the season if I do, in fact, when any

771
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: leagues will be for getting him where.

772
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 3: I got him. Let's go to the l's though, because

773
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: we of.

774
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: Course made a lot of bad decisions and be gave

775
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: bad advice as well, like is natural for everybody to do.

776
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: I'll go first on this one.

777
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: Matt Shaw, who I love as a former turp but

778
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 2: also I just thought was an excellent value in drafts

779
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: and a late round sleeper that I was all over

780
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: positional versatility depending on the league you're playing and the

781
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 2: site you're using. I thought he was going to steal

782
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: bases and hit for a decent average, just provide you

783
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: assistance in a lot of areas, and he has been

784
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 2: words that I can't say on this show.

785
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's very very bad.

786
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 2: It is early, so maybe this won't look like an

787
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 2: l later on in the year. And I say that

788
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 2: for him, not trying to justify it, but similar to

789
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: the guy you picked, you know, these younger players not

790
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: a lot of experience, like a prospect kind of breaking

791
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 2: into the league. We saw last year. We talked about

792
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 2: this in our Key Questions episode. We saw lastlast year

793
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: that the gap between pitching at the major league level

794
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 2: and the minor league level like has basically never been wider.

795
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: So I want to give a degree of like lenient

796
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 2: c two hitters who are making that adjustment for the

797
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 2: first time. But having said that, like I thought he

798
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 2: would be a fantasy asset right off the bat, and

799
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: he very much has not been a one seventy average,

800
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 2: one home run, no stolen bases. His OPS is five

801
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: seventy one and it's a lot of blue on the

802
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 2: stat cast page. So his sprint speed is still fast.

803
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 2: I do think the steals will come when he starts

804
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: getting on base more, but that the other categories I'm

805
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 2: not feeling confident in.

806
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 5: He is walking a lot seventeen point five percent walk, right,

807
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 5: so he's at least doing that.

808
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 4: I knew.

809
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 5: I thought there would be some thumps in the road

810
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 5: with Matt Shaw, like up and down. He was someone

811
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 5: I was, you know, I liked really Kelly early interact

812
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 5: season put him on my radar because she's she's a

813
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 5: Cubs fan and she was all over him, like really

814
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 5: really early as a sleeper, and then you know, his

815
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 5: ADP started to rise, so she kind of put him

816
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 5: on my radar really early. I didn't think it would

817
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 5: be this bad. But yeah, it's not off to a

818
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 5: great start. But you would think he's getting on bath

819
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 5: that much. He was still a little bit more, but

820
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 5: so far not so much.

821
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 3: I mean getting on base that much.

822
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 2: It's still his OBPS three sixteen, so the walks are

823
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: doing a lot of the heavy lifting on his on.

824
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 4: The ten walks in fourteen games.

825
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that is that is good, right,

826
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 2: Like that's I don't want to downplay that, but the

827
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: rest has been pretty bad.

828
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 5: Who's your l so very similar story as you kind

829
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 5: of alluded to my ls cam Smith. I was really

830
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 5: excited about him. I bought into the prospect hype. You know,

831
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 5: we talked about not really paying attention to s bring

832
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 5: training numbers, but you know, there was a lot of

833
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 5: buzz about him. It wasn't even just numbers, it was

834
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 5: you know, they were the astros kind of clubhouse was

835
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 5: like oozing about him, and just like they could not

836
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 5: stop talking about how impressive he was.

837
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 4: I he already looked like a major leaguer, and I

838
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 4: was just like buying in, buying in.

839
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 5: I know Welsh really liked cam Smith and similar story

840
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 5: without as many walks as match. But I will say

841
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 5: one of the reasons I picked this as my l

842
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 5: my early l is not just that I was high

843
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 5: on him coming into the year, but in a very

844
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 5: expensive league, I made a very bad early trade. What

845
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 5: looks like, I mean, it could work out fine, but

846
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 5: right before the season started, in this you know, expensive

847
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 5: league where I would like to win a lot of money,

848
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 5: because I spent a lot of money to be in it,

849
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 5: I traded Christian Campbell straight up for Campsmith to acquire Campsmith,

850
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 5: and because I was worried about you know, is Campbell

851
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 5: going to make the roster. There's a lot to talk

852
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 5: about David Hamilton steal in a bass or maybe even

853
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 5: stealing his roster spot. Christian Campbell struggled at the start

854
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 5: of spring. Campsmith is looking good. Third base is really shallow,

855
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 5: and I was like, all right, this could be a good,

856
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 5: you know, good move, So I made the trade and

857
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 5: it does not look good right now because Christian Campbell

858
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 5: looks really good and camp Smith does not.

859
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: Let's die right in here, mayor hopefully everybody checked out

860
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: our first episode that dropped out earlier this week and

861
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 2: rounding the bases running through so the topics and guys

862
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 2: that sit out to us, so be sure to check

863
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: that out if you missed it on the YouTube side.

864
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 2: But we're gonna dive in here. Like I said, we're

865
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: gonna start with our bilos and cell has. We'll start

866
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: with the bilows as we always do. Who do you

867
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: have here in this section?

868
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 5: So mind's a pretty simple one. I think you're gonna

869
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 5: be able to follow the narrative pretty easy. My bilow

870
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 5: is Dylan Ce's. He just got absolutely rocked in his

871
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 5: last start. You know, the wheels came off, which really

872
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 5: has ballooned his early era to a crisp seven point

873
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 5: nine to eight Eray obviously expected numbers are much better

874
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 5: than that. FIP is two point sixty seven. All the

875
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 5: other ones are around mid three, again really early. But his

876
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 5: most recent start was bad enough that there's gonna be

877
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 5: some panic out there, especially because we've kind of seen

878
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 5: good Dylancies and bad Dylances in the past.

879
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 4: This is the thing that he does.

880
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 5: But if we're able to, you know, if his value

881
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 5: is a little bit down because of this really bad

882
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: start and because of that really ugly ra through three starts,

883
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 5: I would love to buy low, even if it's like

884
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 5: buying just a little bit low, just you know, just

885
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 5: like a little bit below.

886
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 4: What his normal value would be.

887
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 5: I wrote him up in our our Players to Trade

888
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 5: now buy al sell hi video or article on the

889
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 5: on the website, and I basically just said, you know,

890
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 5: if I can buy a low on Dylancee's and lock

891
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 5: into on strikeouts, I will, So if you're willing to

892
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 5: trade trade them to me, I would love to. And

893
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 5: some of the I like we're supposed to kind of

894
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 5: give for the article, kind of give like some hypothetical

895
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 5: some players.

896
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 4: We would trade.

897
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 5: I like to do like hitter for picture trades, because

898
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 5: I don't you know, even though I just you know,

899
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 5: in our previous video or a previous segment, I talked

900
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 5: about trading you know, Christian Campbell for camp Smith. I

901
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 5: usually like to do like picture for hitter or hitter

902
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 5: for picture, or at least different positions. So I did

903
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 5: some hypothetical trades. I included Michael Harris, Anthony Santander or

904
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 5: Luis Robert. I would be willing to flip any of

905
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 5: those three for for Dylancy's. So what do you think

906
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 5: about that or any of those names for Diylancee's.

907
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 2: What was the first name you used us sat Michael Harris,

908
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: Michael Harris, Okay, yeah, I would agree. I would trade

909
00:39:59,080 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 2: any of those for Ceas.

910
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. I think you know.

911
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: When I was sitting down and do my bilo, like,

912
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: the first thing that came to buy in is I

913
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 2: could just copypaste what I said last week, which is

914
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: any struggling stud to start, like even if it's just

915
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: struggling to a degree, Like I was even considering somebody

916
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 2: like like Paul Skins, who's eras three forty four. He

917
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 2: hasn't been terrible for you, He's still getting you strikeouts,

918
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 2: but like he's been less than best pitcher in fantasy baseball.

919
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 2: Anybody like that who has been below what we thought

920
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: they were in draft season, unless there's a really clear

921
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 2: reason for it, I'm willing to buy low. I mean,

922
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 2: we talked about even like Raphael Devers a lot last week,

923
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: and he immediately went on to you know, go on

924
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 2: a heater. Like we we said there were concerning signs

925
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 2: of the profile. But all of these guys, I really

926
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 2: don't care what the numbers are early unless there's some

927
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: reason like injury related or something like that that is

928
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: is a real red flag. I'm very willing to buy

929
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: low on any of them. And see, I think fits that.

930
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 3: Bill really well. So I totally agree with you, and like,

931
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 3: are we going to see what he was in twenty

932
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 3: twenty two over again?

933
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: No, But getting two hundred strikeouts from a guy like

934
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: barring injury, like you can basically write that in stone

935
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: is awesome.

936
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: Like I'm very happy to to add that.

937
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, Like mid three is Era two on strikeouts done,

938
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 5: Like I don't have to worry about that spot. I'll

939
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 5: just run him out there.

940
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, just because he's maybe not gonna win the cy

941
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: Young doesn't mean that's not still super like you said it,

942
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 2: and forget it right, you'll never take him out.

943
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 3: Of your rotation. So I think it's a great pick.

944
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: I totally agree with you.

945
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: I went on the hitter side with my by Low.

946
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 2: Like I said, you could include really any struggling stud here.

947
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 2: I wanted to look a little lower in ADP than

948
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: some of those elite guys. That's probably too obvious, right,

949
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: Like nobody's selling low on Paul Skins. For the example

950
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: I used before, Brent Rooker, I think is maybe somebody

951
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 2: that people would be willing to move off of if

952
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 2: they viewed last year as kind of a one off. Obviously,

953
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: the power wasn't a one off. He hit thirty home

954
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 2: runs in twenty twenty three, but the batting average was

955
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 2: below two fifty that year, and so maybe people, you know,

956
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 2: under five stolen bases that year as well. So maybe

957
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 2: people look at that and say, well, last year where

958
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: he had almost forty home runs and he had double

959
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: digit steals and he had a batting average year of

960
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 2: three hundred, maybe that's not coming back, and they're willing

961
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 2: to move off of him if they are regretting that

962
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: draft pick. I would want to take advantage of that.

963
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 2: He does have four home runs already despite his very

964
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: slow start, so he's still on pace for over forty

965
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 2: I think, even though the math, but it's something around forty,

966
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 2: you know, through just sixty played appearances. The batting average

967
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: is really low, but his batting average on balls and

968
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 2: play is also much lower than it was last year.

969
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 2: I don't really expect that to, you know, happen again.

970
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 2: I think it's under two. Yeah, it's his bat balls

971
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 2: and plays one nine. Yeah, whereas last year it was

972
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 2: three sixty two. Now maybe the three sixty two was

973
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 2: high and it won't be that high again. But uh,

974
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 2: you know, the ultimate point is I'm not worried about

975
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 2: anything in his profile. Like his barrel rate is roughly

976
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 2: the same as it was last year. His his average

977
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 2: eggit velossity is a little lower, but it's still in

978
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: the same range. Like the launch angle is really low.

979
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 2: That that's the big concerning thing, that it's half of

980
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 2: what it was last year, and yet he still does

981
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: already have four.

982
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 3: Home runs and is on pace.

983
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: This will do well kind of in that mark where

984
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: you would want the better launch angle, hard hit rate.

985
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's a little lower but it's still

986
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: roughly the same area. His strikeout rate is actually even

987
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 2: a little bit lower than it was last year. The

988
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 2: walk rate is way down, but again it's early, so

989
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 2: I'm kind of listening all those things to say. It's

990
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 2: largely in line with what we saw last year. A

991
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 2: lot of the underlying data. It's just that the BABIP

992
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 2: hasn't been good. I think that'll come around, Like I

993
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: think we'll get more soul and basis. And the other

994
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 2: thing too that you talked about last week is seeing

995
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 2: the ball fly in Sacramento.

996
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I was gonna bring it up again.

997
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 2: Yep, that when he starts getting more home games too,

998
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 2: Like I I'm not worried about that at all. Like

999
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 2: in terms of the power, like a barring injury, I'll

1000
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 2: be very surprised if he's not hitting over thirty five

1001
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: homers this year. Like maybe he doesn't get to double

1002
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: digit steals, but I still think he'll have more than

1003
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 2: he did in twenty twenty three. Like the batting average,

1004
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 2: I would expect to wind up somewhere between twenty twenty

1005
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: three and twenty twenty four, which, like over what I'm describing,

1006
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 2: is still going to be a very helpful fantasy player.

1007
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 3: So I am very much all in.

1008
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 2: On Brent Rooker is still going forward, and he is

1009
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 2: unlike some of the studs where it's just almost too

1010
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 2: obvious to say they're Bi Lows. I think he might

1011
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: actually be attainable. Do you think that's correct? Yeah?

1012
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 4: I think so.

1013
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 5: I think the four home runs are going to make

1014
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 5: him like if he had like one or two home runs,

1015
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 5: he would definitely be like attainable, Bi Low. I think people,

1016
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 5: you know, savvy managers are going to see the four

1017
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 5: home runs, but the look guy at least got four

1018
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 5: home runs out of him. But I think he'll be

1019
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 5: attainable in some leagues, especially because you know, batting average

1020
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 5: is down everywhere, so people are looking for batting average.

1021
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 5: I think when we recorded last week, when I mentioned

1022
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 5: that ballpark, we had only seen like one game, and

1023
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 5: I was like, hey, I watched this game and that

1024
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 5: ball was flying at that ballpark. Well guess what it

1025
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 5: is continued to fly out of that ballpark. It looks

1026
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 5: like we're going to have another extremely hitter hit her

1027
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 5: friendly ballpark on our hands. And that's something I'm gonna

1028
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 5: talk about, you know, kind of kind of later on,

1029
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 5: but yeah, I mean thirty nine home runs last year.

1030
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 5: I don't think we're getting that two ninety three batting average,

1031
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 5: but you know, know, I wasn't expecting it coming into

1032
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 5: the year. I was expecting like two forty something, two

1033
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 5: fifty with thirty plus home runge, which is exactly what

1034
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 5: you wanted if you know, if you're drafting him, and

1035
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 5: I think.

1036
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 4: You're still going to get that. I think he's going

1037
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 4: to get hot.

1038
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 5: It's also you know, at other shows, including leading off,

1039
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 5: I've talked about this a bunch, there's been a lot

1040
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 5: of really cold weather games early on, which is kind

1041
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 5: of kind of seems to be impacting hitters and just

1042
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 5: kind of the game in general. So as things warm up,

1043
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 5: I think a lot of these hitters are going to

1044
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 5: are going to heat up too.

1045
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 2: His expected batting average on stackcast is to sixty seven.

1046
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a little lower than that, but

1047
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 2: I think to sixties like very much on the table.

1048
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 2: So maybe it's more likely to be lower than that,

1049
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 2: but like I wouldn't rule that out as a possibility.

1050
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, especially in that ballpark where you know, some

1051
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 5: flyballs are just going.

1052
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 4: To leave the park.

1053
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're in agreement there on Brent Rooker. Let's

1054
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: go to our cell highs, and you are picking somebody

1055
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: that I just talked about in our previous video. If

1056
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: you're watching on YouTube as a guy that I would

1057
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 2: love to victory Lap early in the season, you seem

1058
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 2: to be looking to get out from the business of

1059
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 2: rostering this guy.

1060
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just gonna say. You said we're agreeing

1061
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 5: on our first two guys. I don't think we're going

1062
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 5: to agree on this one because I know someone you

1063
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 5: were really high on coming into in the season, and

1064
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 5: you know so far, you know early victory Lap, like

1065
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 5: you said, But I'm selling high on Hunter Green and

1066
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 5: it's not I want.

1067
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 2: I wrote.

1068
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 5: He's another player I wrote up in our in our

1069
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 5: weekly article as a sell high, and I wrote in

1070
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 5: there that I want to be clear when we talk

1071
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 5: about sell highs each week. Sell high does not mean

1072
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 5: I don't think this is a good player.

1073
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean you know.

1074
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 5: It just means that I think this player is at

1075
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 5: his peak value and you can get a maximum return

1076
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 5: and I'm getting out of the business for one reason

1077
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 5: or the other. It could just be like this is

1078
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 5: peak value. I think it's gonna come down a little

1079
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 5: bit and I'm ready to get out now. Hunter Green,

1080
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 5: for me, the biggest concern I have is injury history,

1081
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 5: and that I don't know that we're going to get

1082
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 5: a full season out of him. And there's a big

1083
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 5: reason why, and it was he just had an incredible

1084
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 5: start recently. But what we saw in that incredible start

1085
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 5: was that he was throwing over one hundred miles an

1086
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 5: hour in the ninth inning. And Sarah Lang's put out

1087
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 5: a tweet and she said, Hunter Green just threw a

1088
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 5: pitch one hundred point seven miles per How I think

1089
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 5: that was it? One hundred and point seven miles per

1090
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 5: hour in the ninth inning of a game that he started,

1091
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 5: becoming one of only three pitchers to do that. It

1092
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 5: was Hunter Green, Sandy el Contra, and Justin Berlander. Do

1093
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,760
Speaker 5: you know what all three of those pictures have in common?

1094
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 3: Injury?

1095
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 4: Tommy John surgery, And.

1096
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 5: So he's already had it once and now here he

1097
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 5: is throwing almost one hundred one miles an hour in

1098
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 5: the ninth inning of a game that he started, and

1099
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 5: he has a pretty lengthy injury history. I just think

1100
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 5: we are very unlikely to get a full season out

1101
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 5: of him, and I don't want to be out like

1102
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 5: be on here, like predicting injury and like being a

1103
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 5: Debbie downer and like rooting for guys to get hurt.

1104
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 5: That's not what I'm saying. I'm not rooting for anyone

1105
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 5: to get hurt. I just think he looks like the

1106
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 5: best picture in baseball right now. His value could not

1107
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 5: be higher, But I am pretty concerned about getting a

1108
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 5: full season out of him. And so if I could

1109
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 5: sell really high on him, and I'll try to, I'm

1110
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 5: going to pull up who I put down.

1111
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: What's really high for you? What's the name that you

1112
00:47:58,520 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 3: would sell for?

1113
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 4: So put three names.

1114
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 5: In this when I when I do this, I look

1115
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 5: at the Fantasy Pros Trade value chart, but which we

1116
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 5: put out every week with a kind of updated trade

1117
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 5: values based on like rankings and projections. And so I

1118
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 5: tried to aim even a little bit higher, because you

1119
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 5: know what, trying to think of like who I can

1120
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 5: match with. So that I picked three hitters. I picked

1121
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 5: Alex Bregman, Kylee. Schwarber, and Ronald Lacuna Junior. Obviously Swerber

1122
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 5: you would need a utility spot, but he's like as

1123
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 5: hot as there is right now, but getting a full

1124
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 5: season of production from those three, assuming Acuni's back in

1125
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 5: the next two or three weeks, I think you could

1126
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 5: get a pretty good return on investment. Assuming Hunter Green kind.

1127
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 4: Of, you know, we don't get a full season at him.

1128
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 2: I am intrigued by the Schwarber one. I think, Akunya,

1129
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: if you're you know, of the belief that he'll be

1130
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: back relatively soon, I'm more interested than that. I like Bregman,

1131
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:00,919
Speaker 2: and I was actually all, I don't have a draft season.

1132
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: I would not move Hunter Green for Alex Bregmant personally.

1133
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, with pregnant.

1134
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 5: A lot of it was just third base, like there's

1135
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 5: like six useful third base, which is.

1136
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: Very fair, is an absolute disaster. I in one of

1137
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 2: the leagues that we're in together. I was talking to

1138
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 2: one of the other managers in that league yesterday and

1139
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: I was like, I would evaluate my players at every

1140
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 2: position as an A plus. I love my roster except

1141
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 2: for corner infield is a f minus. Like first base,

1142
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 2: I do not have a good first basement, and third

1143
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 2: base is even worse. So that's been That's a very

1144
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: rough position for a lot of people.

1145
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 4: I know you mentioned Ryan McMahon. Ryan McMahon last week.

1146
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 5: I have Ryan McMahon like three leagues, and every week

1147
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 5: I look to replace it with someone better, and every

1148
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 5: week I can't find anyone better than Ryan mcmackonell.

1149
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 2: I had Josh Young for cheap in that league and

1150
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 2: then he got hur so I was like, I guess

1151
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 2: I'll pick up McMahon. And he's gotten two home runs

1152
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 2: and then and also done nothing else for me, and

1153
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm just like, I want to drop him so badly,

1154
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 2: but I don't have it now with youngest backs. I'll

1155
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 2: get him in there for next week, but like, I

1156
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 2: haven't had another third basement I could even put in there.

1157
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 2: It's it's brutal, Okay, my cell high Jacksonurio. And it's

1158
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 2: interesting because I actually considered him for my victory lap

1159
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 2: because he's somebody that was very high on and is

1160
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 2: obviously after a slow, you know, first week, he's been

1161
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 2: gotting nuclear in the last week. I am a little

1162
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: worried about some of the underlying data. He has four

1163
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: home runs only one stolen base. Like I think we

1164
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 2: both would agree we expect that rate to go up,

1165
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 2: especially for the Brewers. The batting average is three fifteen.

1166
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll stay that high. I think it'll

1167
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 2: be below three hundred. Expected batting averages two sixty right now,

1168
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 2: for what it's worth, I don't love that he doesn't

1169
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 2: have a single walk this season. We're like far enough

1170
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 2: in that that, like is definitely raising my eyebrows. He

1171
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 2: has sixteen strikeouts already, which is, you know, one of

1172
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 2: the higher rates in baseball, and he's coming off this

1173
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 2: stretch where he's just been absolutely on. Like just the

1174
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: last three games alone, he's six for thirteen with three

1175
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 2: home runs, twelve RBI. I saw a stat I think

1176
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 2: I pulled up yeah, and it is a very specific stat.

1177
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 2: This is also retweeted by cesspec his family barbecue. They

1178
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 2: do these kind of obscure stats a lot, so I'll

1179
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 2: give them credit here, but it's the Brewers put out.

1180
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 5: Uh.

1181
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 2: He has twelve RBI, six extra base hits, three home runs,

1182
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 2: two doubles, and a stolen base in his last three games.

1183
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 2: The only players in MLB history to hit all of

1184
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 2: those marks over any three game span at any age

1185
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 2: are Babe Ruth, Lou Garrig and Shoheo Tani and Treio

1186
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 2: just did as a twenty one year old. Now those

1187
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 2: are really specific markers, So I like, you know, take

1188
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 2: that for what it's worth. But he's been in the

1189
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 2: show this week, Yeah, multiple baby Ruth mentions. But he's

1190
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 2: been really like nuclear the last three days, like especially,

1191
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: and so if you can sell high on that, and

1192
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 2: I think for him you are looking at a true stud.

1193
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: You're you're you're not selling him because again, I am

1194
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 2: really like a believer. I don't want to come across

1195
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 2: like you need to get out of the Jackson Turio business.

1196
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 4: Well that's what I say. What are you going to

1197
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 4: get for him?

1198
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 5: Because like, I don't know that there's much you can

1199
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,479
Speaker 5: give me to give up Jackson Tura right now, given

1200
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 5: what we're talking about with the hitters.

1201
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 4: So what would you want in return?

1202
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 2: I think I think you, well, do you think you

1203
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 2: could trade him for a more surefire stud, Like do

1204
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 2: you think like, let's say you need a first baseman

1205
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 2: and you have outfield death like Vladimir Guerrero Junior. Or

1206
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 2: if you want to just challenge trade in the outfield,

1207
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 2: like I'm looking at like our rest of season rankings

1208
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 2: right now in consensus, like you're not gonna be able

1209
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 2: to get you know, Odani Wit, Judge, Joseermirez, like those

1210
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 2: kind of top five guys, but like any of those

1211
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 2: other guys who were in that first round rage Yeah,

1212
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 2: like like like.

1213
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 3: A stud, is what I'm saying, Like a true stud Scooble.

1214
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 2: Even like Lindor's been a little down, Gunner has had

1215
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 2: a really slow start coming off the injury. Like any

1216
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 2: of those guys, I think you're at least getting a

1217
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 2: conversation going about it and maybe even able to make

1218
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 2: that deal. And I would be willing to, like strongly

1219
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 2: consider that, but you need to be getting a stud

1220
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 2: like I'm not looking to get out of the Jackson

1221
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: Truer business. The other thing that I didn't get to

1222
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 2: say it that I wanted to say is this is

1223
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 2: somewhat format specific, because I am reasonably confident that he's

1224
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 2: gonna have thirty either home runs or stolen bases and

1225
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 2: twenty of the other one Like I think he's gonna

1226
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 2: combine for close to sixty of those of those who combined,

1227
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 2: So like in a roto league, I'm probably a lot

1228
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 2: less interested in moving him in a points format. You know,

1229
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 2: given that the strikeout rate is high, it's higher than

1230
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: it was last year too. Last year was twenty one

1231
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 2: point one percent. This year it's twenty nine point one percent. Now.

1232
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 2: The hard hit rate is also up, barrel rate is

1233
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: also up. Like again, he's he's playing well, but the

1234
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 2: fact that he's striking out more and hasn't walked at

1235
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 2: all zero, well, you know, lowering an already low walk rate,

1236
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 2: that just has me concern in that type of format

1237
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 2: where strike cuts are really going to hurt you where

1238
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 2: you don't get you know, you're not getting those walks

1239
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 2: to help boost your points. So at a point so

1240
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 2: they got to be a lot more interested in moving

1241
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: off and coming off this insane start. But again, you

1242
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 2: need to be getting a real stuck because I do

1243
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 2: still believe that a year from now he's going to

1244
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 2: be a first round pick.

1245
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not really interested in moving on from him.

1246
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 5: Give him the hot start. We were excited about him

1247
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 5: coming into the year. I had some concerns, you know,

1248
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 5: we talked about coming into the year that I thought,

1249
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 5: maybe you can draft some other players like later and

1250
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 5: get similar production. That's still probably true, but also now

1251
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 5: that he's off to a strong start, you know, power

1252
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 5: speed combo, you know, despite his words, he batted to

1253
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 5: seventy five last year. I think we're going to see

1254
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 5: that again. You know, I don't think he's gonna be

1255
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 5: bat three fifteen, but I think some of these other

1256
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 5: numbers are going to normalize and you're still going to

1257
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 5: get the power speed. I was just kind of looking

1258
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 5: at the trade value chart of like who you can get, Like,

1259
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 5: I don't know that I would trade him for Jaron

1260
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 5: Duran Right now, Gunner Henderson is riding that conversation. I'd

1261
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 5: probably I mean short stuffs deeper, but you know, Gunner

1262
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 5: Henderson is a name, like you said, Flad Lindor, Mookie bats, Tattis,

1263
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 5: Corbyn Carrol, like I would be needing someone in that

1264
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 5: upper tier, or if we go down to pictures, if

1265
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 5: I score, I think.

1266
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:11,919
Speaker 3: You could get someone in that upper tier.

1267
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 2: It's with how slow a couple of those guys have started,

1268
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 2: Like Gunner's been bad, you know, Tatist, some injury stuff.

1269
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 2: Like I'm not saying that you can just trade Cherio

1270
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 2: and pick your name out of those guys, but I

1271
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 2: think depending on the league and depending on the manager

1272
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: who has those guys, you can at least have that conversation.

1273
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 3: And maybe get it done.

1274
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 2: To be clear, this is basically like you picking Hunter

1275
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 2: Green in the sense that like, I'm not saying I

1276
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 2: don't like Tario, like I am as high on Churio

1277
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 2: as you can be, but you're too formatic.

1278
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 3: What's that you hate Jackson turn Yeah, I hate Jackson Chury.

1279
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 2: But despite the fact that I'm very high on him,

1280
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 2: I think it's worth having the conversation for the true studs,

1281
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 2: given how hot he has been and some of the

1282
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 2: wards in their profile. But I'm not saying seliment at

1283
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: any costs. I am not saying get out of the

1284
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 2: Jackson Cherio business. I'm saying, if you can actually sell high,

1285
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: not just sell, but sell hi, I think it's worth

1286
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 2: looking into.

1287
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 4: I think if you're flipping the picture.

1288
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 5: By the way, I was gonna make another Simpson's joke

1289
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 5: for you, you know, I like to make Simpsons references

1290
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 5: for you when you since you don't watch it. But

1291
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 5: when you said nuclear, I was gonna say it's pronounced nuclear,

1292
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 5: which is a Simpsons joke, but you wouldn't have got it.

1293
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 3: But maybe I don't know.

1294
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 2: I don't know why you like to make jokes on

1295
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 2: somebody who they're gonna fall on deaf ears.

1296
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 5: Well, I like to sneak at least one Simpsons reference

1297
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 5: into every show, So now we got one YouTube. Will

1298
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 5: you know your your favorite Simpsons comment quote in the comments?

1299
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 5: But just real quick to wrap up, Terio, if we're

1300
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 5: flipping for a pitcher, I think I would want Skens, Scooble, Wheeler, Logan,

1301
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 5: Gilbert Gower, Crochet, Cole, Reagan's.

1302
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 4: And I think that's the line.

1303
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 5: I don't think I'm accepting anyone blow that list I got.

1304
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 2: You know, Chris Sales, I agree, and in fact that

1305
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 2: line might even be higher for me.

1306
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 3: But I'm looking into it, that is what I'm saying.

1307
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, but like Sale, c Scorbnburn's, Michael King.

1308
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not trading for that range.

1309
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 2: I want to tell everybody a little bit about Kais Treks.

1310
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,960

1312
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 2: it used to be. These might be signs of low testosterone,

1339
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 2: to our waivers central here, mayor, who is your favorite

1340
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: hitter to pick up on waivers?

1341
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 5: So I was gonna write Kaien Paris, but we already

1342
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 5: you know, if you watched our previous video, we already

1343
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 5: spent a lot of time on Kiren Paris, or if

1344
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 5: you listened to the earlier segment on audio, we already

1345
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 5: talked about him. So I went with Ben Rice, someone

1346
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 5: who's off to a strong start for the Yankees. Has

1347
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 5: recently moved up in the batting order for the Yankees

1348
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 5: over the last last week. He's been batting like lead

1349
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 5: off for a second, nice lefty swing for that very

1350
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 5: teeny tiny ballpark that they play in, and it's starting

1351
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 5: to play a little bit more against lefties, and so

1352
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 5: far batting three oh six with three home runs, two

1353
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 5: stolen bases. Don't know that you're going to see that

1354
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 5: extreme production, you know, throughout the rest of the season.

1355
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 5: But he does have a decent pedigree in the miners.

1356
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 5: You know last year seventy nine games, twenty four you know,

1357
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 5: across Double A and Triple A, seventy nine games, twenty

1358
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 5: four home runs, ten Stone basis then two seventy three.

1359
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 5: Like I'd sign up for that for a full season

1360
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 5: from Ben Rice right now, especially given you know the

1361
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 5: dearth of hitting we're seeing, and particularly at the cornerinfield

1362
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 5: spots where he could be pretty valuable right now.

1363
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 2: My favorite hitter is Nick Kurtz, obviously in the minor leagues,

1364
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 2: Triple A affiliate for the Athletics. Again, we talked about

1365
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: how I almost at Oakland have about how Sacramento is

1366
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: of all park where we expect to see the ball

1367
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 2: could keep flying, so at whatever point he is playing there,

1368
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 2: that will be exciting. And he has gotten off to

1369
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 2: such a scorching start in the minor leagues. He has

1370
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 2: six home runs already, which I believe is the most

1371
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 2: of anybody at any affiliate level. I don't think there's

1372
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 2: anybody who has seven already in the I'm forgetting someone.

1373
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 2: His ops is over thirteen hundred. I mean, he's batting

1374
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 2: average three eighty six. He's been awesome and While it's

1375
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 2: not as tough a position as third base, first base

1376
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 2: is also quite shallow. So when he comes up, I

1377
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 2: expect him to be like and again, I know we

1378
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 2: talked a little bit about top prospects having to adjust

1379
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 2: to major league pitching. I think he will be a

1380
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 2: startable fantasy first baseman at whatever point he is called up.

1381
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 2: And I want to make sure he's on my roster,

1382
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 2: so you have to have room to stash him. This

1383
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 2: is not a waiver pickup that's going to pay off

1384
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 2: right away. He's ten percent rosters in YAHOO, three percent

1385
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 2: roster in ESPN. Of course, he's forty percent roster in CBS.

1386
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 2: That's usually higher anyway. But if you have the room

1387
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 2: to stash him, like even if you're if you're in

1388
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 2: a dynasty league, obviously he's already gone. If you're in redraft,

1389
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 2: I would get in early on Kurtz because I think

1390
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 2: he's going to be valuable, especially if you have a

1391
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 2: need at that position. Do you think and you don't

1392
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 2: need to dive deep into Kurts specifically, but are you

1393
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 2: willing to invest given what we saw last year in

1394
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 2: terms of top prospects, are you willing to stash a

1395
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 2: guy early and hope that he pans out right away,

1396
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 2: even when we don't even know when he's getting called up.

1397
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 2: Or is that a strategy you don't like to pursue their.

1398
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 5: I'd say it's very league specific, Like if I'm if

1399
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 5: I'm on NFBC, it's tougher to do that because you

1400
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 5: don't really have a very deep bench or any il spot.

1401
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 5: So if you if your injuries start piling up and

1402
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 5: they're players you don't want to drop, that really starts

1403
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 5: to clog up your bench, and so it's harder to

1404
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 5: stash guys. But if I have a minor league spot,

1405
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 5: or if I have a decent bench, like I'm in

1406
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 5: a couple of leagues where it's like daily lineups, I

1407
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 5: can I can mix and match guys pretty easily, and

1408
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 5: I have a decent bench where I can stash someone

1409
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 5: I'm willing to use use a bench spot to stash someone.

1410
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 5: Ideally I would like to know kind of a timeline

1411
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 5: of when they're coming up, but he seems to be

1412
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 5: doing well enough that he might force their hands sooner

1413
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 5: rather than later, especially if they, you know, continue to

1414
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 5: hit in that ballpark, they're going to want another hitter

1415
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 5: hitting in that ballpark. And I would also mention I

1416
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 5: forgot to mention the roster percentage for Ben Rice. He's

1417
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 5: probably on CBS. CBS is going to be higher. ESPN

1418
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 5: he's like below thirty percent. Yeah, who's like thirty five percent?

1419
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 5: And then on CBS as of right now he's like

1420
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 5: sixty percent, So CBS it was going to be higher.

1421
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 5: We had someone in the YouTube comments kind of getting

1422
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 5: on us last week about like some of these players. Look,

1423
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 5: every league is different, everyone plays on different formats. We

1424
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 5: have to talk about the guys that are available. I

1425
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,439
Speaker 5: can't not talk about a player who's available in seventy

1426
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 5: five percent of yeahoo leagues.

1427
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 4: So we'll hit some deep league targets too, but just

1428
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 4: you know, fill your role.

1429
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Last week I talked about guys who were like three

1430
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 2: percent roster, so I did go deep there was it

1431
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 2: was me thereafter.

1432
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I was.

1433
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 2: Gonna say because I didn't read the comments last week,

1434
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 2: but I was like, I definitely throughout names that are

1435
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 2: available in your leagues, I promise you.

1436
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 4: Then I gave like five deep league guys like come

1437
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 4: on for over yourself.

1438
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 3: Sure, well, I will say that. The on the picture side.

1439
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 2: I'll go first. I went with somebody who is a

1440
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 2: higher rostered on CBS, Casey Miz. He's eighty three percent there.

1441
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 2: We talked about him a bit in the earlier segment

1442
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 2: on audio or the earlier video on YouTube side, so

1443
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 2: you can hear kind of a deeper conversation on him.

1444
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 2: But I wanted to bring him up because he's still

1445
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 2: somehow only fifty percent rostered on Yahoo and twenty nine

1446
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 2: percent on ESPN, So if you're playing on CBS, he's

1447
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 2: probably already taken worth looking honestly, I think that number

1448
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 2: should be over ninety percent in terms of how much

1449
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 2: I believe in him. So it is still a little low,

1450
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 2: but obviously eighty three percent is high. On Yahoo, you

1451
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 2: got a one or two shot of him being available, ESPN,

1452
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 2: you know, a three out of four shot that he's available.

1453
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 3: I would not let that be the case.

1454
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 2: I want him above seventy percent on every league and

1455
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 2: over ninety percent you know, on CBS, so I think

1456
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,439
Speaker 2: is really good. Again, we talked about it a little

1457
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 2: bit earlier in the show or on the previous video

1458
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 2: if you're on YouTube.

1459
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 3: So you can check that out.

1460
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: But some pitch change with the slurve this year for him,

1461
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 2: has pedigree two very good starts, including against the Yankees.

1462
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm pretty much bought all the way in on myz

1463
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 2: this year, and I think those numbers are too low.

1464
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 3: So who's your pitcher?

1465
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 5: So my picture, and you know, for full transparency, I

1466
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 5: added my pitcher before we kind of added him to

1467
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 5: the previous So didn't intend.

1468
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 4: To talk about two pictures twice. But that's fine.

1469
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 5: There are two pictures that we're intrigued by. I picked

1470
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 5: Max Meyer, and he's available on seventy percent of Yahoo

1471
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 5: leagues and.

1472
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 4: Eighty five percent of ESPN leagues.

1473
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 5: He's rostered in just over sixty percent of CBS leagues,

1474
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 5: but still that's still a decent amount of leagues where

1475
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 5: he's available that I'd be willing to add him, especially

1476
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,919
Speaker 5: you know, we talked about injuries in our previous video

1477
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 5: or earlier in this audio episode, where a bunch of

1478
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 5: pictures just got hurt and you could use some reinforcements.

1479
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 5: I would be gladly adding adding Max Meyer this week

1480
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 5: for all the reasons we've already talked about. Really good

1481
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 5: prospect pedigree if he can stay healthy, has really great stuff.

1482
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 5: Not on the greatest team, but that it isn't always

1483
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 5: the you know, most important thing. You know, he's got

1484
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 5: nineteen strikeouts, a two point zero ERA, and eighteen innings

1485
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 5: to start, and more importantly, looks really good doing it,

1486
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 5: and his underlying numbers back up what he's doing, at

1487
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 5: least so far in the early going.

1488
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 2: Quickly speed through some of your deep league targets. He

1489
01:04:58,120 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 2: wrote down, so.

1490
01:04:59,160 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 4: Deep league targets.

1491
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 5: Easton Lucas Pitcher nine percent roster Tyler Molly really intriguing.

1492
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 5: He's only nine percent rostered, really intriguing. Early numbers stuff.

1493
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 5: It's not grating out that great, but you know, he's

1494
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 5: someone that you know, on the analytics side of things,

1495
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 5: has always been attractive. It's just a matter of staying

1496
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 5: healthy for him. Zach Viene is someone I wanted to

1497
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 5: mention because he was likely added last week in your

1498
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 5: leagues because he like the news came out that he

1499
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,439
Speaker 5: was kind of coming up as like waivers were about

1500
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 5: to run on Sunday. But in some leagues, especially if

1501
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 5: you play an NFBC, he was not in the player

1502
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 5: pool yet. So he is still available on NFBC. You're

1503
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 5: gonna see. You know, he hasn't gotten up to a

1504
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 5: great start, but really good prospect pedigree there, and just

1505
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 5: because of like the nature of the timing, there's a

1506
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 5: decent chance he's still available in your league because of

1507
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 5: when he was called up, especially if you play in

1508
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 5: a format where prospects have to play and be on

1509
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 5: a roster before they're they're in the portal or in

1510
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 5: the pool. And then, like we said, the player the

1511
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 5: hitter pool is really shallow, and just kind of looking around,

1512
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 5: I was like, Mike, Yourstremsky is like kind of a

1513
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 5: guy who's hitting right now, who like if you just

1514
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 5: need a weekly band aid. He someone I'm adding, but

1515
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 5: it's not great out there, It's not great.

1516
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 2: I do just want to let everybody know that if

1522
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:34,280

1523
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 3: Were like testing out this streamer section.

1524
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 2: It's a little different than what we did last year

1525
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 2: as the last week that we had you do is

1526
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 2: just give me some of your favorite streamers of the week,

1527
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 2: and I kind of responded with my favorite one of

1528
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 2: the ones you picked this week. The way you wanted

1529
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 2: to do it is kind of just go day by

1530
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 2: day and who is your favorite streamer on each day

1531
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 2: of the upcoming week. So that can help people out

1532
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 2: really throughout the week. Rather than just picking names that

1533
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 2: might be on the same day, maybe you don't have

1534
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 2: a room for picking up multiple of them on the

1535
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 2: same day. This will spread it out throughout the whole week,

1536
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 2: so hopefully that will be helpful.

1537
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 3: To our audience.

1538
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 2: We are still considering the show work in progress, so

1539
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 2: anybody in the comments who has ideas in different ways,

1540
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 2: we can you know, kind of share some of this

1541
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 2: advice and insights. We were happy to hear what you

1542
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 2: guys have to think and you know, make any changes

1543
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 2: that you guys think would be beneficial. So let's dive

1544
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 2: into our streamers for the week. Who do you have

1545
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 2: for us Monday through Sunday?

1546
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I run through the week, and like you said,

1547
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 5: I wanted to try out this format because it just

1548
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 5: seemed to make sense. You know, if you're streaming pictures,

1549
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 5: you might be in a daily league, or you might

1550
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 5: just need a streamer for a particular day. And if

1551
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 5: I'm going to give you a bunch of streamers that anyway,

1552
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 5: it might as well give you seven covering all seven

1553
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 5: days of the week. And I was kind of looking

1554
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 5: at you know, I managed the content here at Fantasy

1555
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 5: Pros and I was just looking at some of our

1556
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 5: early articles and I had that feedback for the writer

1557
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 5: doing the weekly article that we do on streaming pictures,

1558
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 5: and I was like, you know what, if I had

1559
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 5: that feedback for the writer, might as well do it

1560
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 5: for the cycle as well. So you can check out

1561
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 5: this video and also check out that article to see

1562
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 5: if we overlap. Because I'm not using it as a resource.

1563
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 5: I'm kind of doing this independently based on my own rankings.

1564
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 4: So we'll see.

1565
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 5: So driving right in, I'll just run through all of

1566
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 5: them and then we can talk about, you know, whichever

1567
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 5: one's your favorite, or you know, we can dive into

1568
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 5: any of the other ones you want. But for Monday,

1569
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 5: I have Taiwan Walker against the Giants kind of you know,

1570
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 5: close your eyes and hope that Taywan Walker continues to

1571
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 5: pitch like he isn't tywe Walker because he's off to

1572
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 5: a really strong start. I don't know how long it's

1573
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 5: gonna last, but so far, so good, and there weren't

1574
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 5: a lot of other streaming options on Monday, so that's

1575
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 5: the one I went with. And I'll just mention again,

1576
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 5: we are using the Fantasy Pro Streaming Picture Rankings tool,

1577
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 5: which is really valuable because it breaks it down by day.

1578
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 5: It gives you consensus roster percentage, and it kind of

1579
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 5: ranks them by VBR, so you can open up the

1580
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 5: tool look at every single day see you see what

1581
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 5: their numbers are, see what the opponents are, and see

1582
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 5: if it's kind of a favorable, favorable matchup or not.

1583
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 5: So I kind of looked at that tool and went

1584
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 5: day by day and picked my favorite. Jamison Tyone is

1585
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 5: also someone I considered for Monday, but he's going at

1586
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 5: the Padres against Dalan, so I was a little concerned

1587
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 5: about starting off my week going up against the Padres Tuesday.

1588
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 5: Merril Kelly against the Marlins. A lot of that is

1589
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 5: just Merril Kelly is likely to be available in your

1590
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 5: league and the Marlins are about the best matchup you

1591
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 5: can hope for a pitcher, and it's in Miami. So

1592
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 5: that's kind of the thinking there is that he's a

1593
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 5: fine pitcher and they are a bad offense in a

1594
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 5: very picture friendly ballpark. So targeting Merrill Kelly at Miami

1595
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 5: Marlins as a streamer Wednesday, the darling of the show,

1596
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 5: Tyler Molly going up against the Angels. He's off to

1597
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 5: a strong start. They have not gone off to the

1598
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 5: best start offensively, so they're a favorable hitting matchup. According

1599
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:44,639
Speaker 5: to our pitcher planner going with Thursday, Ed Rodriguez again

1600
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 5: going against the Marlins, is that one's also in Miami.

1601
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:49,640
Speaker 5: He has not gone off to the best star but

1602
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 5: he does have seventeen strikeouts in ten innings despite his

1603
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 5: high ERA. But I'm banking on, you know, a solid start,

1604
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 5: maybe getting a bunch of strikeouts, quality starting to win

1605
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 5: against that bad Marlin's offense in Miami.

1606
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 4: Friday.

1607
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 5: Friday was kind of a tough slate to go through

1608
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 5: pictures that were either available or that I liked.

1609
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 4: Casey Mies is obviously on the list, but.

1610
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 5: He's unlikely to be available, but he is available, I

1611
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 5: would definitely go Casey.

1612
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 4: Meyes, going against the Royals.

1613
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 5: But by the time, I mean, maybe he's still available

1614
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 5: in your league, but it's probably unlikely at this point,

1615
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 5: but you know, if you're on Yahoo RACEPN, he might

1616
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 5: be available. But I went with Richard Fitz against the

1617
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 5: White Sox again targeting a bad offense.

1618
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 4: He should get.

1619
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 5: You know, the Red Sox offense has woken up a

1620
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 5: little bit, so he should get some decent run support.

1621
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 5: Maybe you can get out of there with a win.

1622
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 5: He hasn't gone off to a great start, but he's

1623
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 5: gone off to a fine start. And it was kind

1624
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 5: of a weird, a weird day for streaming pictures, you know.

1625
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 5: I also, you've talked about it before.

1626
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 4: I kind of like Kyle Hart.

1627
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 5: He's got He's just an intriguing picture from the Padres,

1628
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 5: but he's at Houston. I didn't love that matchup, and

1629
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 5: there's a lot of other names on there that I

1630
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:56,600
Speaker 5: just wasn't really crazy about streaming. So I landed on

1631
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:01,799
Speaker 5: Richard Fitz against the White Sox because of that matchup. Saturday,

1632
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 5: landing Roupe against the Angels again. I'm targeting the Angels here.

1633
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 5: He is the highest recommended person pitcher. According to the tool,

1634
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 5: he should be available.

1635
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 4: In your league.

1636
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 5: If you're in a points league, he is relief pitchuer eligible,

1637
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 5: so that isn't you know, you can put him in

1638
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 5: your relief spot. He's off to you know, a fine start,

1639
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 5: and then Sunday I have Clark Schmidt, who kind of

1640
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 5: I wanted to add a note about this one.

1641
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 4: Clark Schmidt.

1642
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 5: He should be activated earlier in the week, so he's

1643
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 5: a potential two start pitcher, a potential two step getting

1644
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 5: the Royals earlier in the week and then the Rays

1645
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 5: in this start, So I don't it's kind of tricky

1646
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 5: if you know, you would kind of add him this

1647
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 5: weekend because he's coming off the injured list, and then

1648
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 5: you'd have to if you feared a weekly league, you

1649
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 5: you kind of have to roll him out for two starts,

1650
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 5: which is you know, I love streaming two star pictures.

1651
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 5: I would say if this raised start was like his

1652
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 5: first start, he might not have been my pick. But

1653
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 5: because he's a potential two step and this is it's

1654
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 5: the second start. In daily leagues, you can kind of wait.

1655
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 5: If you don't want to row him up for that

1656
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 5: first start. In a weekly leagues, you can potentially get

1657
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 5: two starts out of someone who should be available in

1658
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 5: your leagues. And then the honorable mention I wanted to

1659
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 5: include is that Lucas Giulido for the Red Sox should

1660
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 5: be activated next week and is expected to pitch against

1661
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 5: the White Sox. I believe it's later in the week

1662
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 5: if you're in a daily league.

1663
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 2: So there's a budget. Great information. We're not gonna, you know,

1664
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 2: dive deep into every one of these picks. I think

1665
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 2: you laid it out really well. I wanted to ask

1666
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 2: you kind of hit on it on the schmid side.

1667
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask it on the other side. The

1668
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 2: first thing you mentioned Taiwan Walker, are you interested in

1669
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 2: him as a two start pitcher this week? I mean

1670
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 2: you he kind of made the joke of you know, well,

1671
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 2: as long as he's pitching like not. Taiwan Walker obviously

1672
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 2: was abysmal last year. It's just two starts, but you know,

1673
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 2: hasn't allowed a run yet. We have one thirteen, nine

1674
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 2: strikeouts and almost eleven innings with two starts in the week.

1675
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 2: Is he somebody that interests you in a weekly format

1676
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 2: or are you just thinking of him for this first start?

1677
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 2: I actually don't have up in front of me who

1678
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 2: his second star would be against.

1679
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 3: I forget who.

1680
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 5: That is great call because I should have probably written

1681
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 5: that down because he's a potential to start.

1682
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:10,959
Speaker 4: He's supposed to start.

1683
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 5: Against the Marlins, so not in Miami, but you know,

1684
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 5: about as favorable as matchup as you can hope for.

1685
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 5: So yeah, if you're gonna do, if you're gonna dive

1686
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 5: into two starts with Taiwan Walker, you would want one

1687
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 5: of them to be the Marlins.

1688
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 4: And it is.

1689
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 5: Although it is in Philadelphia. Both of his starts are

1690
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 5: in Philadelphia. It looks like they're home all week.

1691
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 4: But yeah, I.

1692
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 5: In points leagues, it could be, you know, kind of

1693
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 5: tough to stomach rolling Taiwan Walker out there for two

1694
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 5: starts and just hoping for the best. But you know,

1695
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 5: at least you know, maybe he won't give you a

1696
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 5: negative if it's two starts. But yeah, I mean, I

1697
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 5: always like streaming two star pitchers. If you're gonna stream

1698
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 5: someone stream two star pitcher, And if you're gonna give

1699
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 5: me the Marlins as one of them, screw it, let's

1700
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 5: do it.

1701
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 3: Take it.

1702
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Are is he gonna be your official pick? Speaking of

1703
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 2: for a two start pitcher competition. Do you know Kajones

1704
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 2: to pick Taiwan Walker.

1705
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 4: Come on, most certainly, most certainly.

1706
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 2: The audience wants you to do it, Mayor most certainly. Well,

1707
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 2: all right, let's let's get into that two start picture competition.

1708
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 2: Mayor in the show sheet was trying to claim a

1709
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 2: victory already from week one, despite the fact that our

1710
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 2: pictures have not made their second starts yet, So I

1711
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 2: don't know where he was coming from. Uh. Of course

1712
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 2: Hunter Green is off to much better start for you

1713
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 2: than Michael King is for me in that Uh, and

1714
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 2: that starts to week one, so you probably will end

1715
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 2: up winning week one, but it is not over yet.

1716
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 2: Maybe Michael King will throw a perfect game against the

1717
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 2: Rockies and I'll and I'll get that one locked up,

1718
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 2: So we'll see how that how that pants out there.

1719
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 2: You're certainly ahead so far week two though, so Mayor

1720
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,719
Speaker 2: has locked in his pick of Taiwan Walker.

1721
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 3: I will be going with I'll be going with Max Freed.

1722
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

1723
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 2: He is at home against the Royals and on the

1724
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 2: road against the Rays. Those are two bottom seven teams

1725
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 2: in terms of run scored so far this season. So

1726
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 2: and you know, free to somebody that I really didn't

1727
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 2: get a lot of this year. I was sort of

1728
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 2: turned off, perhaps illogically by the contract I thought was

1729
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 2: an overpay, given his age and some of the injury

1730
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 2: stuff free to sad in the past, and I wasn't

1731
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 2: sure exactly.

1732
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 3: How you fit in and you know that tiny stadium.

1733
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 2: Now in New York.

1734
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 3: But he has been, you know, strong to start.

1735
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 2: Obviously, he's coming off you know, a superb game in Detroit,

1736
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 2: seven innings, five hits, no walks, eleven strikeouts. But even

1737
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 2: you know, the week before that he had six strikeouts

1738
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 2: and five and two.

1739
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 3: Thirds, just one run, alout on the home run, just

1740
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 3: one walk.

1741
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 2: His worst outing was that first one against the Brewers,

1742
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 2: four and two thirds. He gave up six runs, only

1743
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 2: two of them were earned, for whatever it's worth. So

1744
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,680
Speaker 2: overall he has twenty one strikeouts in seventeen and a

1745
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 2: third innings this year in era have won five.

1746
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 3: Six So he's been better than I.

1747
01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:59,759
Speaker 2: Not that better than I expected, But I wasn't drafting

1748
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 2: a lot of him, I will say, and I want

1749
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 2: to take advantage of to really good matchups and friendly matchups,

1750
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 2: especially coming off of this really strong start that you

1751
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 2: had on the ninth, So Freed is my pick. I

1752
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 2: will allow you to not pick Taiwan Walker.

1753
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 3: Who do you want instead?

1754
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I did just add a note in the sheet.

1755
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 5: I want to see how Taiwan Walker does next in

1756
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 5: the next two weeks.

1757
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 3: I can't imagine he does better than the name you're picking.

1758
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 4: We'll see.

1759
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,639
Speaker 5: I will also say I was avoiding Max Freed Interrectors

1760
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 5: and mostly because you mentioned like the injury history, Like

1761
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 5: this is a guy who had a forearm scare last year, which,

1762
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 5: like your forearm is connected to your Tommy John, so

1763
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,560
Speaker 5: that is always any forearm injury like concerns me. And

1764
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:41,680
Speaker 5: then they're just like, how about this enormous contract for

1765
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 5: a guy who just missed time with a forearm strain,

1766
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 5: But like he's probably fine, so that would concern me.

1767
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 5: But I'm going with three schooble at the Brewers and

1768
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 5: then versus the Royals. You know, you never know when

1769
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 5: you're gonna get to use these aces in your two

1770
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 5: start pitcher competition, so might as well use him while

1771
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 5: you can. And he has two, you know, pretty decent matchups,

1772
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 5: and so it's coming off a really good start and

1773
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 5: you know, get well getting's good and line up two

1774
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 5: lefties against each other, Treak schoobl versus Max Freed with

1775
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 5: a little sprinkle of seeing how Taiwan Walker does.

1776
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 2: See, this is what I did last year, as I

1777
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 2: went with the aces early and you like scoffed at

1778
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 2: me the whole year, like, oh, you're gonna not have

1779
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,720
Speaker 2: them available late, and I will, and I was willing you.

1780
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 4: I didn't realize you were gonna quit in June.

1781
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 2: We knew I didn't quit, first of all. Second of all,

1782
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 2: it was July, not June. Third of all, I was

1783
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 2: assigned to focus more on football by the powers that be.

1784
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 2: It was not my decision, but I didn't complain about

1785
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 2: it either. All right, Freed versus Schooble. Here we will

1786
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 2: see how those guys do, or how Taiwan Walker does.

1787
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 2: That would be hilarious if he outperformed either or both

1788
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 2: of them. So we will wrap up there. There's weekend

1789
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 2: excitement is like the last segment, you have some stuff

1790
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:53,680
Speaker 2: written down. I kind of wrote nothing like I thought.

1791
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 2: This weekend is like it's exciting because it's baseball and

1792
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 2: it's early in the season, Like I will watch baseball

1793
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 2: and be happy about it. And I, well, I'm sure

1794
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 2: stuff that is exciting will happen, But in looking at

1795
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 2: the slate, there wasn't a lot of like, oh wow,

1796
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 2: I can't believe we get to see these two teams,

1797
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 2: Like maybe Cubs Dodgers was interesting, Like it wasn't all

1798
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 2: like I can't believe we could see these two teams,

1799
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 2: or look at this amazing pitching matchup, or oh we

1800
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 2: get the you know what?

1801
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 3: At return to x y Z we.

1802
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 2: Talked a little bit about some of thse guys come

1803
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 2: back from injury already, but like, I didn't find it

1804
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 2: to be that interesting of a slate.

1805
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 3: So what did you find for a weekend excitement? Then

1806
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 3: we'll get out of here.

1807
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 4: Well real quick.

1808
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:30,479
Speaker 5: I don't want to bring us backwards, but I'll just

1809
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 5: mention if you have like streaming picture questions or two

1810
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 5: star pitcher questions, drop him in the comments.

1811
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 4: You know, I'll happy to chat there.

1812
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 5: And then before I wrap up with weekend excitement, I

1813
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 5: do want to mention, I'll just I'll just speed fire

1814
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 5: through a few like other two star pitcher options that

1815
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 5: I didn't that we didn't cover. Some of these might

1816
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 5: not be available in your league, or he might not

1817
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:48,720
Speaker 5: want to target them, but I'll run through. I'm like,

1818
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 5: Merril Kelly is someone we talked about. He potentially has

1819
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 5: a start against at the Marlins, and then he should

1820
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 5: start Sunday against against the Cubs.

1821
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 4: Not the worst option.

1822
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Springs may not be available. He's got Kine off

1823
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 5: to a weird start. He may have been in your league,

1824
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,839
Speaker 5: but he gets to White Sox and then the Brewers

1825
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 5: Grant Holmes at Toronto.

1826
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 4: Don't love that.

1827
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 5: And then Twins is like, fine, probably not targeting Dean Kramer,

1828
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 5: no offense to U tyone. Don't love his don't you

1829
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 5: know love his start or his match.

1830
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you Mayor the Orioles are bad this year.

1831
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 3: Like, I just think they're not a good team.

1832
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 2: And I almost put a sizable bet on them to

1833
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 2: miss the playoffs at plus one sixty five before the season,

1834
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 2: and I could not bring myself to be financially invested

1835
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 2: in them losing, Like I just like I couldn't put

1836
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,640
Speaker 2: myself in that headspace. But now I'm feeling like now

1837
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 2: I'm feeling like I threw money down the train.

1838
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:41,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't do that either. Some other names You're like,

1839
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 5: they're not gonna be available, but it's Google. Jack Flaherty,

1840
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 5: Framber Valdez said, Lugo, but he gets the Yankees, so

1841
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 5: probably don't in Yankee stadiums, they probably don't want to

1842
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 5: do that. Max Meyer potentially two star pitcher. One of

1843
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 5: them is at Philly though, so be careful with that one.

1844
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 4: Joe Ryan. We to go through all these, but like

1845
01:19:59,040 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 4: Clay Holmes.

1846
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 3: I wasn't trying to go through any of them back.

1847
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 5: Most of the other ones are going to be either

1848
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:11,560
Speaker 5: rostered or you don't want to do it anyway. So

1849
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 5: I think we can we can shut it down there.

1850
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 5: Clark Schmidt, we're here to talk about him.

1851
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what he got for your weekend excitement here?

1852
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 5: So weekend excitement is some of these kind of like

1853
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 5: mid pitchers who are just like off the decent starts.

1854
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 5: I want to see them. They're all pitching this weekend.

1855
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 5: I want to see them again. So Chris Boobach really

1856
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 5: intrigued to like see if he's going to continue pitching

1857
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 5: like he is. Brady Singer someone we've talked about last week.

1858
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 5: I'm interested to see him pitch again. Bowden Francis and

1859
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 5: then Mitchell Parker is off to a really strong start.

1860
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 5: Someone I mentioned as a streamer last week. It's like

1861
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 5: doing doing really well. So just kind of like not

1862
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 5: the biggest names, but pittures off to intriguing starts that

1863
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:44,640
Speaker 5: I want to you know, I want to watch him

1864
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 5: live and see what it looks like. The other one

1865
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 5: is is Chris Sale, Okay, he's not off to a

1866
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 5: great start, He's an older pitcher with injury history. Is

1867
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 5: this just like a slow start that he's gotten off

1868
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 5: to in the past, or is there reason to.

1869
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 4: Be concerned here?

1870
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 5: And he goes Sunday against the Rays and Shane Baz

1871
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 5: and then we get another series in Sacramento. We get

1872
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 5: to see the ball continue to fly to that ballpark,

1873
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 5: and I just want to I just want to see

1874
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 5: and like lock in, get another, you know, series under

1875
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 5: our belts, Like is this really going to be like

1876
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 5: another Yankee Stadium or Dunedin or uh, you know, I

1877
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 5: guess where the Rays are playing now, like starburn or Field,

1878
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 5: Like is this is this going to be like a

1879
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 5: top five offensive ballpark rest of season? Because if it is,

1880
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:25,600
Speaker 5: like that's something we need to know both for the

1881
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 5: players we're targeting and who we're streaming and what we

1882
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 5: want to avoid.

1883
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 2: All right, Like I said, I mean, I'm not saying
