Speaker 1: Times, Joy Cracker, bring we will see you.
Speaker 2: To's the Gunner. Welcome one, hang out, Welcome to the

Speaker 2: that's Jack McMullan. I'm Peter Rapple and today trade deadline predictions.
Speaker 2: Jack's got three, I've got three, and we got five
Speaker 2: bangers their user submitted from our discord. A lot of
Speaker 2: mock trades. We're gonna dive in do all of them,
Speaker 2: and then we'll end it with a preview of the
Speaker 2: best games of the weekend. And it's all brought to
Speaker 2: you by bet MGM. Did your home run bet? Home
Speaker 2: run bet come up short? What's wrong with me?

Speaker 2: that new player offer, because if your first pick loses
Speaker 2: after you use promo code just Baseball, you'll get it
Speaker 2: all back in bonus up to fifteen hundred bucks. Jack
Speaker 2: hopefully slurring over my words twice in the intro is
Speaker 2: the end of me slurring my words? And we could
Speaker 2: just have smooth trade deadline predictions.
Speaker 1: What do you thinks? It's okay?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: Heck of a start from you. I look forward to
Speaker 1: seeing how you can make it even better from a
Speaker 1: great start. I like that.
Speaker 2: And you even you enunciated some of your words though.
Speaker 2: That sounded good. That sounded a much more professional than
Speaker 2: my intron jab. Yeah, just a little jab your way,
Speaker 2: mumble man. So we can start with the AJ Mintor trade.
Speaker 2: But I kind of have a trade deadline prediction on
Speaker 2: the Mets me too. I prefer to talk about it there,
Speaker 2: and you do too, So we're definitely going to cover
Speaker 2: that trade. But just first reaction, AJ Mintor to the
Speaker 2: New York Mets, did you jump off your couch and
Speaker 2: excitement that my Minnesota twins are officially hashtag buyers?
Speaker 1: No, my first reaction was, well, Jeffers isn't going anywhere.
Speaker 1: Catcher market gets even lighter. That was my honestly real
Speaker 1: reaction to it mintor this is the start of a
Speaker 1: fire sale for the New York Mets and the Minnesota
Speaker 1: Twins capitalized in Benny Agbayani's son. I believe Bruin Agbayani
Speaker 1: he is. He's part of that trade return, which is
Speaker 1: really interesting. Uh. And then the other guy involved in
Speaker 1: the deal is like a serious power threat Amy Billy
Speaker 1: Amick and swing it. So I don't know, it's an
Speaker 1: interesting return for aj Mintern. You feel like David Stearns
Speaker 1: could be looking at an entirely revamped top twenty prospects
Speaker 1: in the met system.
Speaker 2: I agree, and we'll talk about that later with my
Speaker 2: trade deadline predictions. And when I mean later, I mean
Speaker 2: right now. Let's get to my three trade deadline predictions.
Speaker 2: Unless you got something off the.
Speaker 1: Top, No, are we doing your discord first?
Speaker 2: Oh what do you think?
Speaker 1: You know? What do you and then let's do discord
Speaker 1: and then let's do me.
Speaker 2: I like that. I like that idea too. So I
Speaker 2: have three Discord's got five, and then you have three.
Speaker 2: All right, let's start with the most obvious trade deadline
Speaker 2: prediction in the history of trade deadline predictions. But the
Speaker 2: reason I bring it up is when you hear the
Speaker 2: name Trek Scooble, you assume he's going to the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: But everyone else has their take. They think Milwaukee has
Speaker 2: the system. We were talking a bus are only yesterday
Speaker 2: and he said the Dodgers of the favorites, and the
Speaker 2: Brewers are number two. What about the Tampa Bay Rays
Speaker 2: they got a new owner. We've talked about that at length.
Speaker 2: We've also heard the Cubs getting mixed in the Braves,
Speaker 2: the Phillies, potentially even the Yankees. Trek's scoople is heading
Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Dodgers, folks, and it comes down
Speaker 2: to this. I know it's very boring to start off,
Speaker 2: but it is Tarek'scooble, and it is my prediction. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to be right, not just trying to do mega
Speaker 2: galaxy brain thinking. I want to get one right. And
Speaker 2: I feel good about this one because I think the
Speaker 2: Dodgers are up against it when they think to themselves,
Speaker 2: we got a three pet and what does bringing Terrek
Speaker 2: Scooble in do for you? Doesn't guarantee anything, but it
Speaker 2: brings you a lot closer to three peeting before the lockout.
Speaker 2: Because with this impending lockout, we're likely going to it's
Speaker 2: going to lock out on December first. Now I don't
Speaker 2: know if we're going to miss games, but it seems
Speaker 2: increasingly likely. So if they're worried at all about twenty
Speaker 2: twenty seven, if they're worried at all about a salary
Speaker 2: cap or any of that type of stuff, make the
Speaker 2: move now. Trade from your glut of top outfield prospects.
Speaker 2: Trade an MLB ready starter, and you're taking him away
Speaker 2: from some other contenders, because if the Brewers go get
Speaker 2: Trek Scouoble, you might be in trouble. And reason number three,
Speaker 2: they actually need a starter they do. Snell, you have
Speaker 2: no idea what he's gonna look like when he comes back.
Speaker 2: You assume he's gonna look good, but you have no idea.
Speaker 2: Tyler glasnow you have no idea. Shoheo Tani is still
Speaker 2: dealing with anything. He was out of the lineup yesterday.
Speaker 2: For the Dodgers. They need a starter, Trek Scooble. They can.
Speaker 2: They could pay him the ten million dollars remaining. They
Speaker 2: have the prospects to do it. Jeff Passen came out
Speaker 2: and said, I think a few days ago that Ryan
Speaker 2: Jeffers is preordained to the New York Yankees. I think
Speaker 2: the actual only preordained guy at this deadline is Trek
Speaker 2: scoobl to the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can get behind that thought. I think that
Speaker 1: there are other teams that will. You know, it's almost
Speaker 1: like matching an offer sheet in the NBA. That's the
Speaker 1: way that I want to describe this. There is no
Speaker 1: such thing as restricted free agency in Major League Baseball,
Speaker 1: but restricted free agency the way it works in the
Speaker 1: NBA is you have this offer sheet where the I
Speaker 1: don't know how many NBA teams are there, thirty or
Speaker 1: thirty two? Do you know, uh, thirty, I think whatever,
Speaker 1: like every other NBA team doesn't matter, every other NBA
Speaker 1: team and like, offer this contract to a restricted free agent,
Speaker 1: and the team that currently employs them has a right
Speaker 1: to match it and just hold them so like a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, as DeAndre Ayton like. There are
Speaker 1: way better examples of that where it's like, okay, submitting
Speaker 1: an offer sheet and the team that has you as
Speaker 1: the right to match it. I almost view this trade
Speaker 1: market for school ball as like restricted free agency in
Speaker 1: favor of the Dodgers, where like Okay, the Brewers are
Speaker 1: offering X, Y and Z and the Rays are offering
Speaker 1: X Y. Dodgers, you want to do better And if
Speaker 1: they say yes, then they get them. If they say no,
Speaker 1: then the other team gets them. So I do feel
Speaker 1: like they will have veto power because of the package
Speaker 1: they can put together and frankly may want to put
Speaker 1: together for rental school.
Speaker 2: And one thing that we heard today, First of all,
Speaker 2: I love that comparison number two. The Rays came out
Speaker 2: and said that they're not willing to part with THEO Gillen,
Speaker 2: their top prospect, and the Brewers came out and they
Speaker 2: said that we're not willing to part with heyesus midey.
Speaker 2: It makes sense. I'm not saying that those two would
Speaker 2: have to be in a deal for Trek schoobl I
Speaker 2: think they're too good at prospects, even for a rental school.
Speaker 1: It's just a little bitt its no sense.
Speaker 2: However, I do feel like if there was a team
Speaker 2: to pry Schooble away from the Dodgers, it would be
Speaker 2: the Rays of the Brewers, and that would be the
Speaker 2: piece that they dangle where it's like, well, now we
Speaker 2: have to do it. So taking those two off the table.
Speaker 2: It's just so lined up for the Dodgers to make
Speaker 2: a deal here.
Speaker 1: The other thing is Detroit is ready to compete again
Speaker 1: next year. Yep. And in terms of in terms of
Speaker 1: like proximity, the Dodgers can put together the best package.
Speaker 1: Emit Shean could be in that package, and she and
Speaker 1: could be a mid rotation guy for the Detroit Tigers
Speaker 1: next year. They can also, Like you're telling me that
Speaker 1: they present an offer of Shean and Mike Serota, who
Speaker 1: could be in the Tiger outfield next year. You don't
Speaker 1: think they're saying yes to that? Like, I think it's
Speaker 1: abundantly clear that they have the proximity and the talent
Speaker 1: to win out in any rental Schooble package.
Speaker 2: Thousand percent agree. And I would even take it a
Speaker 2: step further if the Tiger said, no, we need Robleski
Speaker 2: instead of Shean. Do you think that's gonna stop the
Speaker 2: Dodgers from ultimately making that deal? Of course not, so
Speaker 2: they can keep inching up and get the best out
Speaker 2: of the Dodgers. Like, I think the Tigers are going
Speaker 2: to make a killing on this trade. You're gonna have
Speaker 2: to overpay if you want Trek Scooble, and you have
Speaker 2: the Dodgers not only interested, but we're bordering on they
Speaker 2: need a starter. It's I think it's the biggest lock
Speaker 2: of the deadline.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can get behind that.
Speaker 2: Which means it ain't gonna happen because there are no
Speaker 2: locks at the deadline. But if I were to call one,
Speaker 2: that would be number one. Let's get to my second
Speaker 2: trade deadline prediction. Here's where we can start talking about
Speaker 2: the aj Minter deal. Trade deadline prediction. Number two. The
Speaker 2: New York Mets have the best overall deadline. So I
Speaker 2: think about this for a few reasons. Number One, I
Speaker 2: look around Major League Baseball right now, and I ask myself,
Speaker 2: who are the solidified sellers who has been consistent with
Speaker 2: their language the entire time? Because other teams have flip flopped.
Speaker 2: They want to buy, they want to sell. We aren't
Speaker 2: totally sure. I guess I would throw that question over
Speaker 2: to you. When you think of teams that you have
Speaker 2: known are going to sell for at least the last month,
Speaker 2: let's say.
Speaker 1: Name them the Giants their god awful assets. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: Angels and their god awful assets.
Speaker 2: Well, hey, they have some good assets. But I also
Speaker 2: wouldn't really.
Speaker 1: Because Logan o'happy and a big league pitcher were moved
Speaker 1: for a guy that is opsing like seven to twenty
Speaker 1: in High A. But apparently Mozeylac thinks he's a top
Speaker 1: thirty prospect in the organization.
Speaker 2: And I agree with you, because Mozaeylock is at the Helm,
Speaker 2: I don't think that he's gonna get returns. And like
Speaker 2: three weeks ago, Perry Bassi was at the Helm saying
Speaker 2: they kind of want to buy, or at least they're
Speaker 2: not giving up debt merges or Soriano, And now you
Speaker 2: have front office turnover. I can't imagine John Mozaylock is
Speaker 2: in the best spot in the world in order to
Speaker 2: nail all of these deadline moves. Like I already think
Speaker 2: he's over one. So I would agree with you the Giants,
Speaker 2: but a lot of their assets are either Luisa Ryan.
Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty million dollars devs.
Speaker 2: Exactly, So the Giants would be one, but the Mets
Speaker 2: have better assets. I'm not even counting the Angels. Name
Speaker 2: me another one.
Speaker 1: I mean the Rockies and their subpar assets. The Mets
Speaker 1: were built to compete this year and they just stink.
Speaker 1: So like I, it is set up in a way
Speaker 1: for them to win the deadline. I hear you.
Speaker 2: So that's reason number one. Reason number two. I don't
Speaker 2: think Mets fans want to hear this, but I think
Speaker 2: this is where David Stearns might be at his best
Speaker 2: is identifying prospects, identifying young talent using his model enable
Speaker 2: in order to trade away players to get prospects. Because
Speaker 2: he's gonna have a lot of model wins. I almost guarantee,
Speaker 2: whatever your thoughts are about about aj Mintor, the Mets
Speaker 2: feel that they are one to zero on trades already
Speaker 2: because you look at the return two offensive pieces that
Speaker 2: slot into their minor league system for aj Mintor, who's
Speaker 2: only thrown twenty three innings this year, albeit to a
Speaker 2: fantastic low two s ERA. However, he's not the aj
Speaker 2: Mintor that we saw in twenty twenty two with the
Speaker 2: night Shift that aj Mincher was humming ninety seven miles
Speaker 2: an hour at the top of this this Ajmncher throws
Speaker 2: ninety three with a really good cutter, and that cutter
Speaker 2: is his bread and butter. But he doesn't have a
Speaker 2: lot of other pitches to go to. He's not an
Speaker 2: eighth inning guy. He might not even be a seventh
Speaker 2: inning guy. I think he's just a really solid middle
Speaker 2: of the bullpen type guy. And the Mets already got
Speaker 2: two offensive pieces. So I think David Sterns like this
Speaker 2: is the deadline where he can really really capitalize on
Speaker 2: all of these different pieces. And then reason number three
Speaker 2: almost goes back to number one, where they've had now
Speaker 2: this plan for a long time, Like you gave David
Speaker 2: Sterns enough time to basically gear his model in order
Speaker 2: to get the most value out of all of these
Speaker 2: different assets. You combine all of those different things, and
Speaker 2: the Mets are already active, like, we know what we're doing.
Speaker 2: I think the Mets are going to crush this deadline. Well,
Speaker 2: there's a ton of buyers and some sellers, but you
Speaker 2: don't really know what they're doing. When you call David Searns,
Speaker 2: you know what you're doing, and those phone calls can
Speaker 2: go quickly, which I think is going to help gms
Speaker 2: make moves quickly, which again then will help David Sterns
Speaker 2: get more value.
Speaker 1: So you have a quality of deadline prediction. I have
Speaker 1: a quantity of deadline prediction for the New York Mets,
Speaker 1: But I will make you sit and wait, what's your third?
Speaker 2: But do you agree with that? Like, who would you
Speaker 2: say if you had to predict your winner of the deadline,
Speaker 2: would you agree?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think winners of the deadline are guys
Speaker 1: that get big league pieces or teams that get big
Speaker 1: league pieces. So I like, I can't sit here unless
Speaker 1: it's the White Sox and Rick Han's parting gift to
Speaker 1: that organization a few years ago. Like, I can't sit
Speaker 1: here and say they won the deadline if they're moving
Speaker 1: so many guys like oh, yeah, you traded your entire
Speaker 1: bullpen you won the deadline. That's really hard. I guess
Speaker 1: we can have that conversation in the off season, or
Speaker 1: if it just blows you away, we can revisit this
Speaker 1: conversation next Tuesday after the deadline happens. But I view
Speaker 1: deadline winners as teams that got better at the deadline.
Speaker 1: So in terms of the sellers, I think the Mets
Speaker 1: are in a position to win among the sellers at
Speaker 1: the trade deadline.
Speaker 2: You kind of put me in my place there. I'm
Speaker 2: with you. Yeah, no, I totally.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what, the Rays got a rise
Speaker 1: in school but the Mets got so many assets.
Speaker 2: What I will say is, because we dive into both
Speaker 2: sides on this podcast, this podcast is going to be
Speaker 2: very pro Mets once the deadline is over, because we're
Speaker 2: going to talk about all the prospect value that they got.
Speaker 1: Is that fair?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I think, So there we go.
Speaker 2: Let's move over to my third deadline prediction, and this
Speaker 2: is a gut feeling. I think the Atlanta Braves are
Speaker 2: going to have a really disappointing deadline. And here's what
Speaker 2: I mean by that. So the Brave system is better
Speaker 2: than it has been. Right when we talked to Buster yesterday,
Speaker 2: he said that the system has been better over the
Speaker 2: last couple of seasons. Arm has uttered the same sentiment.
Speaker 2: They have the most young talent in their minor leagues
Speaker 2: that they've had in a good while. And I think
Speaker 2: people are starting to push a lot of players to
Speaker 2: the Braves considering they have needs. But I look at
Speaker 2: the roster and I say, I don't know if they
Speaker 2: have desperate needs, which makes me think Alexanthopolis is going
Speaker 2: to be very measured at the deadline, which he is already. Typically,
Speaker 2: and typically the Braves don't do a lot. So here's
Speaker 2: my thinking the Braves might get a dust in May,
Speaker 2: and that's the deadline. Even Buster said yesterday the Braves
Speaker 2: are going to get somebody. I don't think it's going
Speaker 2: to be anybody crazy because I look at their rotation
Speaker 2: and it's just enough. It's just good enough for alex
Speaker 2: Anthopolis to say, all right, we don't have to overpay
Speaker 2: for a starter. Their corner aulefield situation is just good
Speaker 2: enough where we don't have to pay for a corner
Speaker 2: aulefield bat like a Taylor Ward or something, because they say, well,
Speaker 2: Kunya will be able to play right field more consistently
Speaker 2: instead of Dahing, which moves Mike Yastremsky to the bench.
Speaker 2: And then we like Mauricio Dubon and left or Yastremsky
Speaker 2: and left, and that can be a pretty good platoon.
Speaker 2: And we're good on offense. We got Haste and Kim
Speaker 2: coming back at shortstop. We're good, our catcher situation taken
Speaker 2: care of. We have Matt Olson. And this is almost
Speaker 2: a testament to the Braves team. I think the Braves
Speaker 2: have a really good team. My issue is that if
Speaker 2: they don't overpay, if they don't really go for it,
Speaker 2: I just don't think you're going to beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: And I think you're putting a lot of pressure on
Speaker 2: a pitcher like Spencer Schwellenbach coming back from injury, or
Speaker 2: you're putting a lot of pressure on some really young
Speaker 2: pitchers who are also coming back from injury, like an
Speaker 2: aj Smith Schauver, like a Hurston Waldrop, And I think
Speaker 2: it's going to be pretty disappointing for Braves fans. So
Speaker 2: I have my perceived winner, even though you kind of
Speaker 2: put me in a blender. Is a winner a seller, No,
Speaker 2: But I couldn't pick a buyer that's going to be
Speaker 2: a winner because you know, it's all too complicated. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think you're right there here, though it is a
Speaker 2: gut feeling the Braves, and it's also just based on
Speaker 2: historical trends with Atlanta, Braves have a very disappointing deadline.
Speaker 1: So not one of my predictions, but I will offer
Speaker 1: a pushback and I will kind of give you a
Speaker 1: fourth celeb shot prediction here. I actually think the Braves
Speaker 1: go big swinging, and I think they do it in
Speaker 1: a pretty unorthodox way. And this is my outa left
Speaker 1: field tinfoil hat one. A lot of people want to
Speaker 1: talk about the Red Sox and the Yankees being in
Speaker 1: the shortstop market, but I think Atlanta would be an
Speaker 1: awesome spot for zach Netto to go. I think zach
Speaker 1: Netto with the Braves and a rental starter, maybe Gosman
Speaker 1: making his return to Atlanta. If they go and get
Speaker 1: Kevin Gosman and zach Netto, they could win the deadline
Speaker 1: for sure. Netto in that lineup would be disgusting, and
Speaker 1: they have the prospect capital to do it. They're not
Speaker 1: going to move Eric Hartman, There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: But how many Tight South the Scene included Max have
Speaker 1: we seen? How many Owen Murphy included mocks have we seen?
Speaker 1: I wonder what Mozaelac would want for Netto. It would
Speaker 1: probably have to start with Tate South the Scene. I
Speaker 1: think that Netto and Atlanta would solve a lot of
Speaker 1: problems because it has been impossible for them to find
Speaker 1: a short stop since Dansby, Swanson and Neto. I know
Speaker 1: the defense has taken a massive downturn this year, but
Speaker 1: it seems like there's a level of stability that they
Speaker 1: haven't had since Dansby that could be there at shortstop
Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Braves. They tried it with Arcia, they
Speaker 1: tried it with Von Grissom, they're trying with Hasung Kim.
Speaker 1: Now Jim Jarvis is playing short every day for them.
Speaker 1: Nick Allen played short every day for them last year.
Speaker 1: This is the curbing of all of the issues that
Speaker 1: Atlanta has had for the last five years. I think
Speaker 1: that they should swing big and go for a guy
Speaker 1: like Netto.
Speaker 2: Do you think in order to get Zach Netto they'll
Speaker 2: have to quote unquote overpay.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because the Angels are clearly signaling
Speaker 1: that they're open for business, and they're already moving o'hapi,
Speaker 1: and they're already listening on Solaer and Adell. And I
Speaker 1: understand that Neto is three times the asset that any
Speaker 1: of those guys are, But Neto seems like the easier
Speaker 1: one to pry away based on the dialogue and the
Speaker 1: reporting over the last few days, then a Debtmers or
Speaker 1: a Sorana. For some reason, it seems like they're hugging
Speaker 1: them tighter than Netto, which is crazy because you have
Speaker 1: a franchise shortstop.
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I think the dialogue is kind
Speaker 2: of saying that I'm with you. I just think, and
Speaker 2: you know this is a guess at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, that to really pry away a twenty five
Speaker 2: year old shortstop from a team that doesn't have a
Speaker 2: lot of good young assets, you will have to overpay.
Speaker 2: And that brings me back to my original point, where
Speaker 2: I think the Braves are in a situation where they
Speaker 2: don't want to overpay and they don't have to. I
Speaker 2: think they should, and I think it's the best direction
Speaker 2: for this team to go and compete and win a
Speaker 2: World Series this year. But I just stand firm thinking
Speaker 2: that they won't and I do think Nedo will require
Speaker 2: a quote unquote overpay. I think that these big time players,
Speaker 2: you always kind of have to overpay for him at
Speaker 2: the deadline kind of, no matter what the dialogue is
Speaker 2: out of the teams, Like, we talk about that all
Speaker 2: the time, but we just don't freak out because the
Speaker 2: player headed in return is always awesome, so we want
Speaker 2: to focus on that. Yeah, I just don't see Alex
Speaker 2: Vandopolos going away from it if he doesn't need a
Speaker 2: short stop because Kim is coming back. Yeah, they would
Speaker 2: want a short stop, not need The Braves have no
Speaker 2: needs therefore, I stick to my original point.
Speaker 1: Let's just acknowledge that Kim was very bad before he
Speaker 1: got hurt. Oh, I agree with you very bad. I
Speaker 1: agree with you better than Kim. At this point, we
Speaker 1: are not disagreed. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The only thing we disagree on is whether the Braves
Speaker 2: are going to swig big or not. Everything else you've said,
Speaker 2: I'm totally with you. So those are my trade deadline predictions.
Speaker 1: Cool rank them, rank him? All right, let's see. Uh,
Speaker 1: I can't put the Mets one three because I just
Speaker 1: I disagree with the Braves one. I disagree with the
Speaker 1: idea that they can win the deadline, So I go
Speaker 1: Mets it too. And then your first one Schooble Dodger
Speaker 1: like Chucky. So it's got to go in the top spot. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe a bwhelming performance from you today. I know, I'm
Speaker 2: used to Galaxy braining it. Yeah, but we've done these
Speaker 2: trade deadline prediction show for maybe what five years running.
Speaker 2: I think I'm ozerover forty. Yeah. I tried to nail one.
Speaker 1: You wanted to see one go through. You took a
Speaker 1: mid range jumper today.
Speaker 2: I did, and I yelled bank and it hit the bank.
Speaker 2: But it didn't go in, but like I hit the backboard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like that doesn't count because you need to
Speaker 1: make the freaking shot.
Speaker 2: All right, we get a shot. Yeah?
Speaker 1: Are we doing discord questions?
Speaker 2: Next, let's do discord, but let's hear a quick word
Speaker 2: from our friends at Hampton Farms Peanuts. First, imagine you
Speaker 2: take your seat at the ballpark, the smell of fresh
Speaker 2: cut grass and ice, cold beer, peanuts, and the promise
Speaker 2: of three hours of un interrupted baseball. What if you
Speaker 2: could bring the ballpark home to you with Hampton Farms Peanuts.
Speaker 2: You can, America's number one in shell brand can be
Speaker 2: found in your local produce aisle, or twenty five percent
Speaker 2: off at Hamptonfarms dot com with code just Baseball. Bring
Speaker 2: the ballpark home to you with Hampton Farms Peanuts. I'm
Speaker 2: self conscious now because of my lack of explosives for
Speaker 2: my trade deadline predictions.
Speaker 1: Elie de la Cruz to the Guardians and it's gonna
Speaker 1: be awesome.
Speaker 2: I could have been better than that. Thankfully, our discord
Speaker 2: was better than that. Five mocks, and all of them
Speaker 2: are pretty damn cool, and I want to start at
Speaker 2: the top with one of the crazier ones.
Speaker 1: Jack.
Speaker 2: This comes to us from our friend Sean donnahue and Discord,
Speaker 2: and also shout out our Discord, the best baseball group
Speaker 2: chat in the world. If you want to join it,
Speaker 2: talk Deadline with us, talking mocks, talking possibilities. After every
Speaker 2: trade we break them down on the Discord in order
Speaker 2: to find it. The link is in the episode description.
Speaker 2: Discord Prediction Number one one Texas Rangers trade for Mason
Speaker 2: Miller with a package built around Sebastian Walcott. So the
Speaker 2: Rangers have basically came out and said Walcott is off
Speaker 2: the table. Makes sense. He's their top prospect. You look
Speaker 2: at Arm's top one hundred prospects. He's one of the
Speaker 2: better ones in baseball, the heemuth of a man shortstop
Speaker 2: their basement. He's the future for the Texas Rangers. The
Speaker 2: only reason why I wanted to include this one is
Speaker 2: number one. It utters the same sentiment that I've been
Speaker 2: saying for a while. Do not forget about the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 2: This team has always been the oh. The Rangers made
Speaker 2: that move for Mackenzie Gore, the Rangers made that move
Speaker 2: for de Grom, the Rangers made that deal for who,
Speaker 2: and they just do it all the time, and we
Speaker 2: just forget about them. For whatever reason. They're leading the
Speaker 2: division and they need a reliever. So I like the
Speaker 2: Texas being aggressive and taking a big swing. Thesis number two,
Speaker 2: they need a reliever. Number three, You dangle a prospect
Speaker 2: that good. The Padres will at least have to listen. Now,
Speaker 2: everything that basically we've heard, though, is Mason Miller is
Speaker 2: off the table, and they would have to get wowed.
Speaker 2: I saw a report earlier today that they need two
Speaker 2: top one hundred guys and another top two in a
Speaker 2: player's team system. Two top ten guys and two top
Speaker 2: one hundred guys. It's a ridiculous package for a reliever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: rate this one one to five stars.
Speaker 1: One to five stars. I will go I'll go three
Speaker 1: stars because I'm out on the half star thing, Like
Speaker 1: I could give it a two and a half and
Speaker 1: just say it's right down the middle. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say three because I love the idea, and I love
Speaker 1: the big swinging idea, and I love closing my eyes
Speaker 1: and seeing Lats throw the eighth to a Mason Miller
Speaker 1: nine thing. But the problem is if they're tied one
Speaker 1: one and you burn Lats and Miller and you go
Speaker 1: to the tenth tied at one. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: who you go into at this Junus the man he
Speaker 1: could cover the next sexy? All right, fine, and then
Speaker 1: you go to the fifteenth and you're still tied at one.
Speaker 1: They can't really score. To be honest with you, like that,
Speaker 1: offense is not very good. You got pushback, I do
Speaker 1: a pushback.
Speaker 2: The Rangers are getting back Corey Seeker today. Why Langford's
Speaker 2: having a good season, Brandon Nemo is having a good season,
Speaker 2: isekil Durant is having a good season. Jake Berger is
Speaker 2: having a good season. Josh Peterson is having a good season.
Speaker 2: It's not about offense. I'm not saying it's great. It's
Speaker 2: not bad, though.
Speaker 1: It ain't that I think. I don't think it's playoff caliber.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's CS caliber. I really don't.
Speaker 2: So you're talking about the winner of the Gauntlet American
Speaker 2: League West right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's coughing baby. That in the AL Central
Speaker 1: are two coughing babies and it's unbelievable. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think that they have bigger fish to fry than
Speaker 1: going to get another closer to pair with an All
Speaker 1: Star closer in Jacob Latt, So I think that they
Speaker 1: could use that hoss in Walcott to go in a
Speaker 1: different direction. But I don't think they want to give
Speaker 1: up Walcott because we're looking at a Rangers offense that
Speaker 1: could use an injection of Walcott next year. I think
Speaker 1: that guy's a huge piece of what they want to
Speaker 1: do moving forward. And I don't know, like I think
Speaker 1: that they can do it in rental ways. I think
Speaker 1: that there are other really good relievers that are available
Speaker 1: at the deadline, and they're going to go grab guys
Speaker 1: like Brooks Raley and it's like, wow, Yeah, that Ranger
Speaker 1: bullpen got way better. And I don't think you need
Speaker 1: to go do the top ten prospect in baseball for
Speaker 1: a Mason Miller thing to get an objectively better bullpen
Speaker 1: because you already have a bullpen Aceen Lats back there.
Speaker 2: How good is the Rangers system compared to others? Like
Speaker 2: could they even do this theoretically?
Speaker 1: I mean, they traded five guys for Gore like that
Speaker 1: kind of torpedoed their system coming into this year. Like
Speaker 1: they could do a Mason Miller thing, but it would
Speaker 1: need to be a quantity thing. And Walcott would be
Speaker 1: so far and away the best prospect that would be moved.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just doesn't seem if the Padrez were to
Speaker 2: trade Miller, it would probably be to a team with
Speaker 2: a better system, unless the Rangers are willing to overpay.
Speaker 2: But do they even have a system where they can overpay?
Speaker 2: That's I guess my question.
Speaker 1: So I don't think so. I don't think that they
Speaker 1: have that caliber system.
Speaker 2: I think it's almost it's got like probably a half
Speaker 2: percent chance of happening. But I'm bumping it up to
Speaker 2: two stars just because I love the idea of it.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was too nice, you know, it's Shawn two stars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's be a little mean to our awesome, awesome
Speaker 2: discord people. All right, Discord prediction number two. And I
Speaker 2: think this is going to get more than two stars
Speaker 2: because it was from three hundred block White Sox send
Speaker 2: Billy Carlson, George Walcow, and Pierce George in exchange for
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes and Luke Weaver on the New York Mets.
Speaker 2: And I think someone saw that report that was posted.
Speaker 2: What was it, I think it was today. I sent
Speaker 2: it to both you and Hayton. Yes, podcast p would
Speaker 2: you mind flashing that report. I think I texted it
Speaker 2: to you and we're looking at something about Freddie Peralta. Yeah,
Speaker 2: do you remember that report off the top of your head, Jack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got it. The initial report was ba ba bah.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was yeah. Here, let me pull it up.
Speaker 1: It was like George Walcow and maybe Boston Smith for
Speaker 1: Luke Weaver. Wasn't that It wasn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Let me let me find out who actually tweeted that
Speaker 1: and we'll give proper credit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Perfect. So basically this comes to us from a
Speaker 2: report that the Mets in the White Sox have stalled
Speaker 2: because and here it is for Michael Marino. Sources say
Speaker 2: Mets in the White Sox discussed the trade that would
Speaker 2: send Freddy Peralta to the White Sox for a package
Speaker 2: that included George Walcow and Boston Smith and Moore. But
Speaker 2: those talks have stalled, with the Mets discussing Freddy with
Speaker 2: it additional clubs today. So you see on Michael Marino's
Speaker 2: tweet that George Walcow is the White sox eleventh ranked prospect,
Speaker 2: Boston Smith is number fifteen. However, the White Sox ever
Speaker 2: really solid systems. So those two reasonably would be top
Speaker 2: ten prospects in a lot of people's systems. Were you
Speaker 2: surprised to see that the Mets could still get that
Speaker 2: much for Freddy Peralta.
Speaker 1: No, because Peralta is a sleeping giant, frontline guy, like
Speaker 1: he's going to make his last start as a Met tonight,
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to tell you a lot. Frankly,
Speaker 1: I think you could throw the ball very well tonight
Speaker 1: because he knows he's auditioning for a caliber of contender
Speaker 1: like this start will change what the pursuit is of
Speaker 1: Freddy Peralta, I think, and for the White Sox, Like
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not surprised by that report. It seems like
Speaker 1: a lot for ten starts of Freddy Parolta and a
Speaker 1: guy that has a five RA so far this year.
Speaker 1: But it's tough to see Billy Carlson and Wolcow and
Speaker 1: another top twenty prospect go for two effective rentals Like
Speaker 1: the Weaver thing is interesting because you get the additional
Speaker 1: year of control, But how long is the year?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: We keep on coming back to the elephant in the room.
Speaker 1: What does twenty twenty seven control actually mean? Buster only
Speaker 1: said that could be a big time, hang up, Joe, Ryan,
Speaker 1: Luke Weaver kind of the poster boys of that right now.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know. I think that may
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. And if Billy Carlson goes
Speaker 1: for two rentals. Yesterday was the five year anniversary of
Speaker 1: Baias and Trevor Williams to the Mets for Pete Crow Armstrong. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Billy Carlson's PCA because PCA was
Speaker 1: a better prospect than Carlson is. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: But it seems like that could be one of those
Speaker 1: where we look back in five years and it's like,
Speaker 1: Billy Carlson is really good, and you got Pardi per
Speaker 1: Alta for ten stars and Luke Weaver for a lockout
Speaker 1: shortened season.
Speaker 2: I think you make a lot of really good points.
Speaker 2: My next question to you is would you rather have
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes or Freddy parlto because I think you know,
Speaker 2: if you look at the eras, it's clear who you'd.
Speaker 1: Rather have, Yeah, And if you're looking at the il currently, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's Nudd's it big time. Yes.
Speaker 2: So that's my question to you, who would you rather
Speaker 2: have Clay Holmes or Freddy Pralta, because in this deal,
Speaker 2: it'd be Clay Holmes instead of Freddy, and you get
Speaker 2: Luke Weaver on top of it, sweetening the deal. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, if Holmes look good on his rehab and
Speaker 1: I don't know what Holmes did on his rehab, but
Speaker 1: if you look good on his rehab assignment, I guess
Speaker 1: the answer would probably be Holmes. But frankly, I'm waiting
Speaker 1: until after Freddy starts tonight. I want to see Freddy
Speaker 1: Pearl to make one more start.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, so podcast P could you mind pulling
Speaker 2: up this deal again? And Jack will rate it on
Speaker 2: a scale of one to five stars. The White Sox
Speaker 2: send Billy Carlson, George Walcow and Pierce George, and the
Speaker 2: Mets send Clay Holmes and Luke Weaver. I think we're
Speaker 2: both alive. It's a little rich on the White Sox side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm gonna give this a three for effort.
Speaker 2: I agree too, because I like, I don't know whether
Speaker 2: three hundred block if he's a fan of either team
Speaker 2: or if he's a fan of neither team and he's
Speaker 2: just trying to find a good trade. But I think
Speaker 2: it would just be a little bit too much for
Speaker 2: the White Sox.
Speaker 1: But a white Sox fan he might be he's a
Speaker 1: White Sox fan that that's a reference three hundred blocks.
Speaker 2: Oh well, there you go. I haven't lived in Chicago
Speaker 2: long enough. But as a White Sox fan, he's willing
Speaker 2: to give up that type of package in order to
Speaker 2: get Clay Holmes and Luke Weaver. Does that say something?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: M all right, let's get to discord question number two
Speaker 2: or number three? Excuse me, another one from our discord.
Speaker 2: The Cubs get Casey Maize and Kyle Finnegan, and the
Speaker 2: Tigers get Matt Shaw. Now, Matt Shaw is not exactly
Speaker 2: having a great year and he hasn't really shown a ton,
Speaker 2: but he does come with years of control. He is
Speaker 2: a former top prospect. You can play a bunch of
Speaker 2: different positions, and you're hoping that he can be the
Speaker 2: hitter that a lot of people thought would be at
Speaker 2: least near an all star level when he first came
Speaker 2: up with the Cubs on the And then the Cubs
Speaker 2: would be getting Casey Mice who can slot directly into
Speaker 2: their rotation, and Kyle Finnigan, which actually comes with one
Speaker 2: and a half years of control. The thing is with
Speaker 2: Kyle Finnigan is the underlying numbers aren't great because he's
Speaker 2: only striking out seven per nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah right.
Speaker 2: You look at all of the era predictors that are
Speaker 2: all in the mid to high fours, even though he's
Speaker 2: still rocking a low three zzra. But he does provide
Speaker 2: some stability in that bullpen. A guy who's been around
Speaker 2: the block, has closing experience, and you get him for
Speaker 2: more than just the rest of the season. You get
Speaker 2: him for at least another year. He's got a mutual
Speaker 2: option in twenty twenty eight. You can deal with that.
Speaker 2: Then Casey Mies is going to be a free agent
Speaker 2: after the season.
Speaker 1: I don't know about Finnegan because not only is he
Speaker 1: not striking dudes out, but he's walked twenty six guys
Speaker 1: in forty six innings Like that concerns me. When I
Speaker 1: look at relievers right now, I'm looking at punchouts and walks,
Speaker 1: and usually I'm looking at k to bb and it's
Speaker 1: awful for Kyle Finnegan, mas is I think one of
Speaker 1: the more underrated rental starters available at this deadline.
Speaker 2: I think he is I think he's number one most underrated.
Speaker 2: I think any team that gets Casey Maies is getting
Speaker 2: a really solid pitcher right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Mes is a fascinating piece to me. Shaw
Speaker 1: is interesting because he's so clearly surplus for the Chicago Cubs,
Speaker 1: but the way that their contracts are kind of quickly expiring,
Speaker 1: daw could be a piece for the Cubs moving forward.
Speaker 1: I don't know how good of a piece moving forward,
Speaker 1: but I do think Shaw is danglable. I think there
Speaker 1: are ways around the rental idea, like I think Shaw
Speaker 1: an Emerson Hancock is a perfect match where you know
Speaker 1: it's probably Shaw and another player for Hancock, or it's
Speaker 1: Hancock and another player for Shaw. I don't really know
Speaker 1: the concrete value there may's I really like in Chicago.
Speaker 1: I wonder if Detroit would entertain the idea of, instead
Speaker 1: of Finnegan, somebody else in that bullpen in a package,
Speaker 1: a round shot and maybe a prospect. Like I know
Speaker 1: it's been a not great year, but wouldn't Kenley Jansen
Speaker 1: feel better? And he's a rental like Maes and Kenley
Speaker 1: Janssen at a steeper price for Mattshaw.
Speaker 2: Is it crazy that I'd rather have Kyle Finnigan. I've
Speaker 2: been watching a lot of Kenley this season, and I
Speaker 2: whenever he comes into the ballgame, I'm thinking about live
Speaker 2: betting the other team. I mean it's his cutter is
Speaker 2: I mean, he's floating some in there at this point.
Speaker 2: And I love Kenley. I think he's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2: I think he's one of the best closers of all time.
Speaker 2: But he's just at the end of his career. I
Speaker 2: would because then, also with Kenley, if you're acquiring Kenley,
Speaker 2: what is he going to be your sixth inning guy,
Speaker 2: Like you would have quire Kenley theoretically to be your closer,
Speaker 2: your eighth inning guy. I do not.
Speaker 1: I think you're acquiring Kenley Jansen to just be a
Speaker 1: part of the bullpen. Like I don't. I think we're
Speaker 1: at the stage of his career where he doesn't have
Speaker 1: to throw the ninth inning. We got there with Kimberle
Speaker 1: I hope.
Speaker 2: So I would just rather have Kyle finn again, like
Speaker 2: I would not want to bring in Kenley Jansen personally.
Speaker 2: Maybe we disagree, Yeah, interesting, Yeah, I think Matt Shaw's
Speaker 2: a little bit too much for these two. I think
Speaker 2: you would need a better reliever than Kyle Finn again.
Speaker 2: But I don't think they're going to dangle like a
Speaker 2: Tyler Holton or anything like that. Then I think you
Speaker 2: could get the Cubs talking about Matt Shaw and maybe
Speaker 2: even more. But that's how I see kind of that
Speaker 2: ending up. I don't think I think Matt Shaw's too much.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you this one two stars because I
Speaker 2: like the creativity. But you and also, Ir is a
Speaker 2: Tigers fan, so he wants Matt Shaw. By the way,
Speaker 2: Freddy Perolt to scratched from his Matt star. Oh, Trey Dead.
Speaker 1: My book is smart, I already wrote in my book,
Speaker 1: and Pen I'm smoked.
Speaker 2: You're smoked. All right. Let's get to discord question number
Speaker 2: four prediction. Excuse me. The Angel sends zach Netto to
Speaker 2: the Yankees and they get back. Elmer Rodriguez, Cruz and
Speaker 2: Dax Kilby comes to us from Jets fan seventy eight.
Speaker 2: I know that Jets fans seventy eight and an other
Speaker 2: discord do a lot of betting stuff together. He's a
Speaker 2: Mets fan, he is not a Yankees fan, so he's
Speaker 2: trying to find a fair deal on both sides. First,
Speaker 2: before you even think about the fit in New York
Speaker 2: with the Yankees. I don't want to be biased. What
Speaker 2: do you think about Elma Rodriguez and Dax Kilby in
Speaker 2: exchange for zach Netto?
Speaker 1: Is that enough? I kind of love it. I think
Speaker 1: maybe there's one more piece that needs to be added,
Speaker 1: But I really dig what the thought process is there.
Speaker 1: And Rodriguez has been very good with scramting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know he's already been called up. He'll
Speaker 2: turn twenty three after the trade deadline. I dig this
Speaker 2: trade a lot. Yeah, he's the top one hundred guy.
Speaker 2: Dax Kilby is a top one hundred guy, you know,
Speaker 2: the Yankee. The Yankees' best prospect is George Lombard, but
Speaker 2: arguably their second best prospect is Dax Kilby. He's just
Speaker 2: kind of a younger version of George Lombard that says
Speaker 2: that he's a really good shortstop prospect. Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: know he's I know, Arms a big fan of him
Speaker 2: as well. I think I would do this trade if
Speaker 2: I'm the Yankees. I guess my thinking goes to, is
Speaker 2: zach Neto then your short stop moving forward? Because I
Speaker 2: will hand it to Volpi. Volpi is a better defender
Speaker 2: than Zach Netto is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but okay, So for the sake of the exercise,
Speaker 1: Neto would pivot where second and Jazz would pivot to third.
Speaker 2: Or maybe Neto to third. Yeah, not that he hates third,
Speaker 2: It's just Jazz is a fantastic defensive second baseman, but
Speaker 2: he also hates third. Yeah, you're just he might hate there.
Speaker 2: You're just moving too many guys out of position. So
Speaker 2: if you move Jazz, then you're losing his defense second.
Speaker 2: Then you're also moving Netto over to second. And he
Speaker 2: might be a fine defensive second baseman, but it's not
Speaker 2: like he's playing second base. I think I would rather
Speaker 2: just put him at third base if I'm the Yankees,
Speaker 2: keep Vulpia short almost and then is this kind of
Speaker 2: like Jeter and a rod Folpia Netto.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is very Alex Rodriguez kard. Yeah, this is the
Speaker 1: sleepy version of that. Yeah. No, that's perfect.
Speaker 2: And I would like to see what Netto looks like
Speaker 2: in a playoff race. Is he going to continue to
Speaker 2: sell out for power and just not give a shit
Speaker 2: that he's striking out thirty one percent of the time?
Speaker 2: Because I think Neto is supremely talented, and I want
Speaker 2: to see him with a different organization. And I think
Speaker 2: that's another reason why we're kind of pushing the Angels
Speaker 2: to send him off and get a good prospect Hall
Speaker 2: And I think this is one. This is my favorite
Speaker 2: deal that's been proposed of the ones we've gotten so far.
Speaker 1: I'm giving this five big booms. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 2: Not only are you upgrading from five stars, you're also
Speaker 2: giving a big booms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good for you. How are the Costco guys doing?
Speaker 2: Are they still around?
Speaker 1: I don't know what? What was it? The chicken? It
Speaker 1: was like a sandwich. What was it called.
Speaker 2: The chicken bake?
Speaker 1: From the Chicken Bake? The chicken bake? Yeah, okay, because
Speaker 1: I remember the double chunk chocolate cookie. But then I
Speaker 1: was like, is it a chicken wrap? Is it a chicken?
Speaker 1: Did you lock it? But it's a chicken bake.
Speaker 2: Did you see that recent clip from the Rizzler? I
Speaker 2: think he's cooling on the Costco guys?
Speaker 1: Is he? So? The Costco guys they didn't have the
Speaker 1: staying power the Rizzler did.
Speaker 2: All right, enough of this brain Rodcat, let's go over
Speaker 2: to the final prediction comes to us from Panthers, touchdown
Speaker 2: gibzillaol George Springer to the Mariners, and the Jays will
Speaker 2: get a better player than people think. So, first of all,
Speaker 2: I do like the fit because have you seen Luke
Speaker 2: Raley hit in the second half. He's rocking a sixty
Speaker 2: two WRC plus and I know that he can still
Speaker 2: hit right handed pitching relatively well over a longer sample.
Speaker 2: But right now it's been bad. It's been real bad.
Speaker 2: And right now you have dominic Canzone mostly in your
Speaker 2: DH spot. I'd rather just put dominic Canzone out there
Speaker 2: in an outfield position and let George Springer be my DH.
Speaker 2: I would really like another right handed bat in this
Speaker 2: lineup for Seattle. I would like a guy who's post
Speaker 2: he's improven. And I would also like to just give
Speaker 2: a jolt to this Mariners offense that couldn't hit water
Speaker 2: if they fell off a boat. They've lost five out
Speaker 2: of their last six series, got bum rushed by the
Speaker 2: Dodgers yesterday and it felt like it took their best
Speaker 2: game of the season to beat him in Game one,
Speaker 2: and they barely beat him. I would love an injection
Speaker 2: of offense, and George Springer is having an excellent second
Speaker 2: half so far, especially you know post All Star Break,
Speaker 2: he's sitting close to three point fifty last time I checked, Like,
Speaker 2: I really love this piece. So my question to you
Speaker 2: would be, because I assume you like to fit as well,
Speaker 2: what would it take in order to get George Springer
Speaker 2: again free each and after the season. He's just a rental,
Speaker 2: but it is George Springer, and.
Speaker 1: He's a designated hitter slash part time corner outfielder. So
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna take much, but to the
Speaker 1: to the point of better player than people would think,
Speaker 1: Like it could be a number ten prospect in the system,
Speaker 1: It could be a number twelve prospect in the system.
Speaker 2: Can I say something, Yeah, I think it's gonna be
Speaker 2: worse than people think.
Speaker 1: How much brand value does George Springer carry with his name?
Speaker 1: I don't think as much as people would think. But
Speaker 1: I also don't want people to think that he's washed,
Speaker 1: or that I think that he's washed. Like I think
Speaker 1: Springer for the number twelve prospect in the Mariners system.
Speaker 1: Whichever way you slice it could make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it can make some sense too. I
Speaker 2: just don't know who the Mariners would be willing to
Speaker 2: part here. And I think that's the question. Can I
Speaker 2: answer this quick and you can both answer this as well.
Speaker 2: It comes to us from our YouTube live chat section.
Speaker 2: First of all, thank you everybody listening on YouTube. Smash
Speaker 2: a light button and subscribe button if you're enjoyed the show. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Brett Jet five to five. Just catching up. And I'm
Speaker 2: a little confused as to why you guys think the
Speaker 2: Mets have better assets than the Giants. Forget Chapman, Adamas, Devers, Ariahs,
Speaker 2: Ray Ramos, Eric Miller, bru Baker and Hentag's Jack.
Speaker 1: Can we go player by player? Too expensive, too expensive,
Speaker 1: too expensive, rental rental, probably not moving, Maybe not that
Speaker 1: believer they have.
Speaker 2: I like Eric Miller, but he's the best reliever that
Speaker 2: they have. If they tradeing, they're trading literally everybody. Would
Speaker 2: be the fifth best reliever in the met bullpen, would
Speaker 2: be the sixth best reliever in the met bullpen, would
Speaker 2: be the seventh best reliever in the met bullpen. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Like Chapman is also hurt and expensive,
Speaker 2: Adamas is not having a good season and very expensive.
Speaker 2: Devers is expensive. And maybe I'm biased because I've always
Speaker 2: loved Rafael Devers. I think he'd be worth it. But
Speaker 2: at the same time, you're bringing in an enormous contract
Speaker 2: for a pretty much DH first baseman, So how many
Speaker 2: teams really want to take that on? With an impending lockout?
Speaker 2: Ariahs again rental rob Ray rental. The Giants even came
Speaker 2: out and said that they're willing to eat down some
Speaker 2: of Ray's contract on a rental. That goes to show
Speaker 2: kind of what the market is thinking about Robbie Ray
Speaker 2: right now. And I actually think Eric Miller is a
Speaker 2: very good asset, but the Mets have three or four
Speaker 2: very good assets, so I think we stand by our
Speaker 2: takes here.
Speaker 1: I don't think Miller is as good an asset as
Speaker 1: people would expect. Eric Miller. Yeah, he's been a strikeout
Speaker 1: artist this year, but this is like last year was
Speaker 1: very weird, thirty innings, twenty two punch outs, twenty walks,
Speaker 1: but this year, like he's still walking six hitters per
Speaker 1: nine innings, Like that's not good at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good at all. Like people were yelling
Speaker 2: at me on the episode with Fink when I was saying,
Speaker 2: Chase Silseeth, I think is a really solid six inning reliever,
Speaker 2: and they we're calling him mid because he's walking five
Speaker 2: per nine. What is Eric Miller?
Speaker 1: Then? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Right, So that's where we're at on that. So we
Speaker 2: still have Jack's predictions and we have a weekend preview.
Speaker 2: Let's hear our last word from our friends at Hampton.

Speaker 2: Lay them on me, Jack, Yay. Headline predictions.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to be much I don't think bolder.
Speaker 1: I think I'm just going to be much more correct
Speaker 1: than Peter. I like that first one. You had a
Speaker 1: quality take on the Mets. I have a quantity take
Speaker 1: on the Mets. I think the Mets trade ten players
Speaker 1: this year. They have a all right, I'm already counting
Speaker 1: David Peterson who went to the Cups. Is that a
Speaker 1: fair count?
Speaker 2: That's a fair count.
Speaker 1: Okay Peterson one. Number two AJ Minter already in Minnesota, Twin,
Speaker 1: you're off to a great start. Yeah. Number three Freddy
Speaker 1: Parolta just got scratched from his final start.
Speaker 2: Yes. Number four, Wastcar bras Abon definitely on the move.
Speaker 2: Number five, Luke Weaver definitely on the move. Number six
Speaker 2: Brooks Raley definitely on the move. Number seven Clay Holmes
Speaker 2: probably on the move. Yeah, they're they're not extending him.
Speaker 2: He's going to get traded. I just I worry if
Speaker 2: he's actually injured. That's my only hang up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm counting him.
Speaker 1: Number eight Tyrone Taylor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people need right handed hitting outfield.
Speaker 1: And he's a rental yep. Number nine Luis Robert Jr.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no, no, he's got a club option at.
Speaker 2: Twenty million dollars next year. I know nobody's picking that up.
Speaker 2: He's a rental, I know, and he's a right handed bat.
Speaker 2: Like it's just if you're the Mets, like you just
Speaker 2: traded for Luis Roberts. It's like you're gonna give away
Speaker 2: for nothing? Yeah nothing, Sure, I'll prospect. And then the
Speaker 2: other one that I guess is the boldest one is Terrentz.
Speaker 2: The catching market is so so light. I think Terrenz
Speaker 2: could be on the move. I think they trade a catcher,
Speaker 2: might be Alvarez, So I think could they go any higher?
Speaker 2: Who else could we push? You could trade like a
Speaker 2: Biento's gone.
Speaker 1: Like Viento's Ronnie Mauricio Batty, like those guys jump out.
Speaker 2: That's why I like this take because I don't think
Speaker 2: you have to nail all ten of those guys.
Speaker 1: I think just ten guys get traded.
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you coming back around? They might have
Speaker 2: such a successful cell deadline, and that was my thought
Speaker 2: that they actually do win the deadline. Yeah, coming back around.
Speaker 2: That was a good take.
Speaker 1: I don't maybe maybe you know what, give me thirty
Speaker 1: minutes after the show and let me just stew on it.
Speaker 1: The Twins traded what eight guys last year?
Speaker 2: Year?
Speaker 1: I think the Mets beat that. I think they trade ten.
Speaker 2: Can we get to fifteen?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I think we could got.
Speaker 1: More than half the roster.
Speaker 2: We already had four. You already had four audible mentions.
Speaker 2: You know what, Jerry, what do you want to go to? Soto? Gone?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I like this, I like this. I I think you're
Speaker 2: gonna be one for one.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool? You ready for my next one?
Speaker 2: Let's go two for two?
Speaker 1: H two for two? Is the Brewers acquire two starting pitchers?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm? I think yeah. I think that they are
Speaker 1: in the mix for Terrek schoobl And you laid it out.
Speaker 1: If it's not the Dodgers, it could be Milwaukee, could
Speaker 1: be Tampa. I also think they could possibly do a
Speaker 1: reunion with Freddy Peralta. I think they could be in
Speaker 1: the mix for Kevin Gosman. I think they could be
Speaker 1: in the mix for Casey Miz. I think they could
Speaker 1: be in the mix for Dustin May. Within the division,
Speaker 1: I think that they go and get two starters to
Speaker 1: help them get through the rest of the regular season.
Speaker 1: They're currently running with a six man rotation right now,
Speaker 1: but it's mis Rowski, sprote Logan Henderson, Thomas Pinon, Shane
Speaker 1: drow and Robert Gasser. They need Harrison's gonna come back.
Speaker 1: But I don't feel good about five of the four
Speaker 1: of those guys. I really like Logan Henderson, but like
Speaker 1: they need help. And if you can push two of
Speaker 1: those guys back to triple A, or one or two
Speaker 1: of those guys in the bullpen, and you add a
Speaker 1: Mize and a Gosman, I mean, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're looking at like miss Harrison Miz Gosman is a
Speaker 1: playoff rotation, and I feel pretty good about that. Like
Speaker 1: they didn't go get the frontline guy like Schooble and
Speaker 1: Miz to go beat the Dodgers, but they have an
Speaker 1: NLCS rotation there, and you don't know what happens when
Speaker 1: you get in and you've got four tried and true
Speaker 1: starters and then Drowan is the five for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year. I think it's awesome.
Speaker 2: I love it in theory, and I think it could
Speaker 2: still happen. I just don't and see the Brewers trading
Speaker 2: for rentals.
Speaker 1: I just think they could based on the price. The
Speaker 1: Brewers twenty fifth best prospect is a lot of team's
Speaker 1: twelve best prospect.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I know, but they've had
Speaker 2: great systems before and they've still never traded for rentals.
Speaker 2: I could see you being right, but it's almost none
Speaker 2: of the guys that you named, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: They're If they're not pushing the chips in right now,
Speaker 1: when are they ever going to push the chips in to.
Speaker 2: Be I don't want the corpse of Kevin Goswin.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, I think Gosmin's going to make some
Speaker 1: quality starts for a good team.
Speaker 2: I would love Kevin Gosmin in my playoff rotation like
Speaker 2: that fastball and splitter, Like been there done That? Claim
Speaker 2: a corpse is crisy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I disagree.
Speaker 2: I think Hancock could be the guy because I think
Speaker 2: the Brewers are always going to be attracted to arms
Speaker 2: that they want to get their hands on and fiddle
Speaker 2: with a little bit, and I think Hancock is a
Speaker 2: perfect example of that. Young guy comes with years of control.
Speaker 2: I think the Brewers and the Mariners could make a
Speaker 2: trade for a Kirby for a Bryce Miller. Even with
Speaker 2: how good the Brewers farm system is, I think they
Speaker 2: could go buck wild there. I just think it's like
Speaker 2: I'm just I gotta believe it. I gotta believe it.
Speaker 2: I gotta see it to believe it. With the Brewers
Speaker 2: and rentals. I just I can't picture it. I get it.
Speaker 1: I just think the price of a rental starter is
Speaker 1: not going to be that bad because there are so
Speaker 1: many available. And I'm not talking quality rental starter like
Speaker 1: top five. I just think that there's a world that
Speaker 1: they go and get two starting pitchers to help them
Speaker 1: get through the rest of the regular season.
Speaker 2: Do you think there's any MLB for MLB type trades
Speaker 2: out there? Like I'm thinking about the Emerson Hancock, Like,
Speaker 2: who else comes to the top of your mind of
Speaker 2: a Connolly early type on a team where they're trading
Speaker 2: a big league or for a big leaguer That also
Speaker 2: makes sense to me from Milwaukee. Is there anybody out
Speaker 2: there that you could see besides Emerson Hancock?
Speaker 1: Not really like they would never take on the money
Speaker 1: of a Brian Bayo, but I'd be curious if they saw.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, you know my favorite thing said in this podcast.
Speaker 2: That's why except for the money, if the Red Sox
Speaker 2: like paid all of it down and they got their
Speaker 2: hands on that sinker slider guy, it just turned him
Speaker 2: into a beast for no reason.
Speaker 1: That's perfect. That is that's the Brewers move. You found it, Okay,
Speaker 1: there you go. Yeah, Brian Bayo for like, I just
Speaker 1: got a bench back and you.
Speaker 2: And he turns into a monster, A monster Bao and
Speaker 2: Emerson Hancock.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: Look Bao would eat there. People are started. Our YouTube
Speaker 2: comment section would be like, hell yeah, all right, next
Speaker 2: your final one. I got one more, Adlee Rdchman gets
Speaker 2: traded ooh toho.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but there are like six teams that
Speaker 1: need to catch her, and he would immediately be the
Speaker 1: best catching asset available. Goodman's not available, like, I think
Speaker 1: the Rockies have made that abundantly clear that Hunter Goodman's
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Langaliers is hurt.
Speaker 2: Did you see what the Rockies asked for for Goodman?
Speaker 2: They asked the Red Sox for Arius. I was like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, no way he's getting traded then?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're asking for a top three prospect
Speaker 2: for Goodman, like which I respect from Colorado, of course
Speaker 2: I don't trade him if you're not going to get
Speaker 2: of course overblown, but yeah, no one's going to do that.
Speaker 1: I just think this this catching market dissolved almost entirely
Speaker 1: with Goodman being a non starter for them, it seemed,
Speaker 1: and Langoleier's getting hurt. Like again, I just floated the
Speaker 1: idea of EN's getting traded. I don't think Alvarez is
Speaker 1: getting traded. I think the Mets would be silly to
Speaker 1: trade Franciscuavaras, so then all of a sudden, Adli Ruchman
Speaker 1: becomes the best possible catching asset available the deadline. I
Speaker 1: think that he's a good fit and a lot of teams.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good fit for a lot of
Speaker 1: teams in the American League East. And I wonder who
Speaker 1: would be willing to pay the Inner Division tax for
Speaker 1: Adlie Rutchman, Like, you know, what he would do for
Speaker 1: the race is catching situation. They haven't had a good
Speaker 1: catcher since like the Reagan administration. I don't think they
Speaker 1: were a team in the Reagan administration. Yankees, Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: I mean, like they're gonna have to pay a tax,
Speaker 1: but Adlie Rutchman is the Yankee catcher? Would be really juicy.
Speaker 2: What prospect would I have to attach on top of
Speaker 2: a Ryan Weathers or Will Warren in order to get Adley?
Speaker 2: How do I make that happen right here right now?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Ben Hess, I like, you need more,
Speaker 1: you need more.
Speaker 2: Basically, I'm kind of I would. Yeah, they can have
Speaker 2: and they can have Ryan Weathers, and we will take
Speaker 2: Adlie Rutchman. Thank you podcast. You give me a thumbs
Speaker 2: up or thumbs down? Would you do that if you're
Speaker 2: the Yankees, you just give me two hands up? I
Speaker 2: don't know. Yeah. Cool. So let's say it wasn't to
Speaker 2: the American League East. Let's say they don't want to
Speaker 2: trade in division. Where would you think Adley would be headed?
Speaker 2: Because this white friction, you gotta nail it white. Even
Speaker 2: with Kyle Tiele still there or is Kiel coming back.
Speaker 1: I mean, Teal's got injury issues at this point, but
Speaker 1: Teal can absolutely be the catcher. Adlee can't catch every
Speaker 1: day at this point, so we can DH too. I
Speaker 1: love the idea of to switch hitting catchers.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 2: Edgar Carrow just rides the pine.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got like a negative point five war
Speaker 1: like he's not good this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's interesting.
Speaker 1: So the White Sox, I think Adlie in Chicago could
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. I like that. I like
Speaker 1: that a lot.
Speaker 2: Those are mine, those are your deadline predictions. I'll rank him.
Speaker 2: I just don't think Adley's going to get traded. Even
Speaker 2: though I love the idea of it, I just think
Speaker 2: at this point, like, I don't think Besiah is good
Speaker 2: enough defensively to be your full time catcher, and I
Speaker 2: think you get more out of Besio's offense by basically
Speaker 2: making him your DH, and you really, if the Oils
Speaker 2: want to compete at all, the only reason they traded
Speaker 2: Adley is if they are in full blown cell mode,
Speaker 2: because the Orioles just don't have the luxury to trade
Speaker 2: away bats unless I guess it's like a Taylor Ward
Speaker 2: who hasn't had the greatest season for him and he's
Speaker 2: a rental. They got to add, like they gotta add
Speaker 2: bats if they're going to buy. So it would be
Speaker 2: Orioles full blown cell and I just don't see that happening.
Speaker 2: The Brewers one is interesting because I could see them
Speaker 2: getting two pitchers. I just don't think the rental thing.
Speaker 2: I still gotta believe it to see it, see it
Speaker 2: to believe it. I've now messed that up twice in
Speaker 2: a row. Okay, you might have undersold how many guys
Speaker 2: the met cell that is my favorite. So that is
Speaker 2: a crazy number, Yeah, Ted is an enormous number. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they might blow past it. Yeah, those are our
Speaker 2: deadline predictions. Hopefully everybody enjoyed. But we're not quite done yet.
Speaker 2: Let's get into a preview of the best games of
Speaker 2: the weekend.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, hold on, big voice, Peyton, do you have
Speaker 1: a prediction for us or no?
Speaker 2: He's holding up his arms again. He doesn't got nothing.
Speaker 1: Oh good, before the recording he needed a prediction, He's like,
Speaker 1: all right, so he didn't do his homework. That's fine.
Speaker 2: We dropped too many bars. He couldn't come up with one.
Speaker 2: He didn't even give me any feedback on my on
Speaker 2: my question either. It's just a classic. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's a shame he's mailing it in. It's a Friday.
Speaker 1: He's probably wearing jeans of the office. Yeah, we're already
Speaker 1: were already getting for the visual Friday. He's not produced
Speaker 1: what twelve straight trade deadline episodes. He's probably like, let
Speaker 1: us get through it and let's breview the best games
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Brought to you by the Picket Sports
Speaker 1: app and Pickett. I'm telling you it is the best
Speaker 1: free bet tracker. Free emphasis on free because a lot
Speaker 1: of these different apps they don't load correctly. They don't
Speaker 1: give you the best lines on any particular sportsbook, so
Speaker 1: you can always get the best price, and they don't
Speaker 1: go nearly as in depth as the Picket Sports app.
Speaker 1: Another reason I love Picket number one it tells you
Speaker 1: which teams you're really good at betting, right, So you
Speaker 1: might be betting a bunch of football games, a bunch
Speaker 1: of baseball games, a bunch of basketball games, and they'll
Speaker 1: tell you your stats are not only teams, but specific players,
Speaker 1: so you can find out I might have a real
Speaker 1: edge on this player, I might have a real edge
Speaker 1: on this team. So it does it all for you,
Speaker 1: tracks all of your picks, and you can even make
Speaker 1: a little bit of money for yourself if you download
Speaker 1: the Picket Sports app and use promo Coach just Baseball.
Speaker 1: When you sink your sports book, you'll win anywhere from
Speaker 1: three to one hundred bucks. Absolute no brainer.
Speaker 2: Even if you aren't much of a better you just
Speaker 2: sink your sports book and they'll pay you a little
Speaker 2: bit of money. It's a roulette system. You could win three,
Speaker 2: you could win eight, you could win ninety, you could
Speaker 2: win one hundred, you could win seventeen. Absolute no brainer
Speaker 2: to get involved with the best pick tracking app, and
Speaker 2: that is the Picket Sports app. Also, i'llbe a picket
Speaker 2: at the park August eighth for the Yankee game. I
Speaker 2: think they're taking on the braves if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2: So if you're gonna be there, come over to Billy
Speaker 2: Sports Bar at noon and I'll be there hanging out.
Speaker 2: Let's go over games for the weekend. You want to
Speaker 2: introduce them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got you. Let's start tonight. We've got a
Speaker 1: fun pictures. Dual Skis has been ticking up, Green has
Speaker 1: been ticking down. All those schemes. People are like slandering
Speaker 1: skins right now. I think that's malpractice. The Skeen slander
Speaker 1: needs to stop, folks. Paul Skeen's Hunter Green Pirates Reds
Speaker 1: at six' ten Pm Eastern.
Speaker 2: Time so The reds played against The pirates yesterday and
Speaker 2: took a hard fought. Game both bullpens are not necessarily
Speaker 2: in a great, spot SO i know the pitching matchup
Speaker 2: on the surface is, awesome But i'm actually going to
Speaker 2: lean towards the over on this. Game best price seven
Speaker 2: and a half at minus one point. FIFTEEN i think
Speaker 2: that you're going to get solid starts From skiens In Hunter,
Speaker 2: green BUT i don't think they should be. Slandered but
Speaker 2: at the same, time they aren't pitching at the top
Speaker 2: of their game right, now SO i think runs are
Speaker 2: going to be a, Plenty so that would be my
Speaker 2: best bet from the. Game but on the weekend, preview
Speaker 2: we like to pick a, winner AND i do think
Speaker 2: that The pirates end up bouncing. BACK i just Don't
Speaker 2: Hunter green's down a tick in velocity Right he's normally
Speaker 2: he's sitting ninety nine and a. Half he's sitting ninety
Speaker 2: eight to three right, now with his sinker and his
Speaker 2: fastballs like ninety eight, five his sliders down a full
Speaker 2: miles an. Hour it's not the Same Hunter green that
Speaker 2: we are used, to AND i think that's just enough
Speaker 2: for The pirates offense to get to. Him AND i
Speaker 2: Think skeens pitches pretty, well but The pirates bullpen does
Speaker 2: him no. Favors and we're talking about like a four
Speaker 2: to four game going into the eighth where The pirates. Win,
Speaker 2: okay winner gets to keep the state Of texas tonight
Speaker 2: between The astros and The.
Speaker 1: Rangers Nathan iavaldi gets the ball Opposite Hunter green at
Speaker 1: eight point fifteen P era seven fifteen Pm Eastern. Time
Speaker 1: this is a massive.
Speaker 2: SERIES i, mean The astros are only a half game
Speaker 2: back of The, rangers and they're really only separated by one.
Speaker 2: Loss because The rangers have just played one fewer game
Speaker 2: than The. Astros The ashros can take control of this.
Speaker 2: Division but at the same, Time i'm gonna stick to my.
Speaker 2: GUNS i still believe that The Texas rangers are the
Speaker 2: best team in this. Division when we were going over
Speaker 2: the weekend, preview remember that huge series against The, MARINERS i,
Speaker 2: SAID i think The rangers are going to win that.
Speaker 2: Series they ended up winning three or. FOUR i think
Speaker 2: the same thing. HERE i think The rangers declare themselves
Speaker 2: as the best team in this, division AND i think
Speaker 2: they Win game. One.
Speaker 1: Tonight someone Said Hunter green instead Of Hunter. BROWN i
Speaker 1: think that might have been. Me But Hunter brown Against
Speaker 1: Nathan valdi In Astros. Rangers last TIME i, Checked Hunter
Speaker 1: great is still A red And Hunter brown is still An, astro.
Speaker 2: Still same first, name and still both of them are
Speaker 2: not looking quite as good as they did last year
Speaker 2: off an. Injury so it's a very understandable mix. Up
Speaker 2: brown had a good start last. Time, no, yeah he's still. Good,
Speaker 2: again these guys are still? Good are they as good
Speaker 2: as they were last? Year? THOUGH i would say, YEAH i.
Speaker 1: Understand. Okay two On saturday seven oh five Pm Eastern
Speaker 1: time On saturday, Night Christopher sanchez in The Philadelphia phillies
Speaker 1: In baltimore to take On Shane boz and The.
Speaker 2: Orioles so this isn't the greatest game in the, world
Speaker 2: even though it's a really solid. Game you Got Christopher,
Speaker 2: sanchez you, know going for The, phillies you Got Shane
Speaker 2: boz going for The. Orioles but our friends at Ballpark
Speaker 2: pal gave us these pers, again one of the best
Speaker 2: models out. There make sure to go check them. Out.
Speaker 2: Jack they're making The orioles the favorites, here which shocked.
Speaker 2: Me and BECAUSE i respect our friends at Ballpark pal so,
Speaker 2: much give me the. Upset give me the. Upset they
Speaker 2: did the same thing Ballpark pal did saying that The
Speaker 2: orioles should be favorites in That Brandon Young Raynaldo lopez
Speaker 2: game ended up being different, starters but it was still
Speaker 2: The orioles against The. Braves they made the oriole slight.
Speaker 2: Favorites orioles won that game three to. Two i'm trusting
Speaker 2: her friends At Ballpark. PALLE i think The orioles give
Speaker 2: The phillies the. Business and it's also understandable considering The.
Speaker 2: Phillies you're playing terrible baseball right. NOW i think you
Speaker 2: got upset them this weekend and maybe started to kick
Speaker 2: The phillies down the wild card.
Speaker 1: Standings philly can't do much at all over the course
Speaker 1: of or offensively over the course of the last few.
Speaker 1: Weeks all, right only other game On saturday that we
Speaker 1: get to talk about nine to ten Pm Eastern time
Speaker 1: In La Red sox And Dodgers Peyton totley Against Yoshi Nobu, yamamoto.
Speaker 2: Some starting pitching. Matchup i'm really excited to see what
Speaker 2: a good fastball hitting team and The dodgers does Against Peyton,
Speaker 2: toley who has a dominant, fastball and then you Got
Speaker 2: yamamoto on the other. Side but another reason WHY i
Speaker 2: wanted to bring this game is look at how low
Speaker 2: the run projection is for this. Game if you're looking
Speaker 2: at the model on ballpark pal they make the total
Speaker 2: closer to, six which is extremely low for a baseball,
Speaker 2: game and extremely low for A dodger game At Dodger,
Speaker 2: stadium which has played more like a hitters park this,
Speaker 2: year which is telling The Yoshinoba yamamoto might spin something
Speaker 2: disgusting and. Dominate and if you're telling me, THAT i
Speaker 2: have to go with The. Dodgers but this is one
Speaker 2: THAT i will have eyes glued to the, television LIKE
Speaker 2: i love this. Matchup this Whole Red Sox dodgers series
Speaker 2: is like the series of the weekend because you do
Speaker 2: have a Hot Red sox team who has been even
Speaker 2: when they were, bad they were still really good on the.
Speaker 2: Road and you have A dodger team that is not
Speaker 2: playing their best baseball right now per their. Standards SO
Speaker 2: i wouldn't be surprised if The Red sox go in
Speaker 2: there and make some noise or this is one where
Speaker 2: The dodgers go all, right you had your fun with
Speaker 2: the Freaking La. Dodgers can't wait to watch All.
Speaker 1: Right three On sunday to wrap us up at one
Speaker 1: thirty five Pm Eastern, Times Zach wheeler and The phillies
Speaker 1: Against Kyle bradish and The Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Orioles maybe the best pitching matchup of the. Weekend this
Speaker 2: one is. Awesome and now they're reverting back to making
Speaker 2: The phillies slight, favorites AND i do think that The
Speaker 2: orioles are going to steal that game With bos Against. Sanchez.
Speaker 2: SOMEHOW i trust our friends At ballpark Pal philly bounces,
Speaker 2: Back Zach wheeler bounces. Back he just had his like
Speaker 2: worst start of the season in his last. START i
Speaker 2: think The phillies take care of business. Here but, again
Speaker 2: just a great starting pitching.
Speaker 1: Matchup how About Brewers angels In. Anaheim the only reason
Speaker 1: you're highlighting this one is because it's miss Against Walbert,
Speaker 1: urania And urania has been.
Speaker 2: Good upset, Alert upset Alert, Wahbert why boy Shows brewers,
Speaker 2: fans you don't got the best young pitcher In Major League?
Speaker 2: Baseball we, do my, Boy? Walbert you know what made me?
Speaker 2: Sad our friends At Ballpark pala give The brewers this
Speaker 2: basically seventy percent chance of winning this. Game AND i was,
Speaker 2: like could they Respect walbert a little? Bit BUT i
Speaker 2: understand we got the mis on the other. Side it's
Speaker 2: hard to give them a high run. Projection But i'm telling, you,
Speaker 2: like this is another good UNDER i Think walbert is
Speaker 2: gonna give The brewers. Problems they're gonna be grounding out all.
Speaker 2: Day they're gonna take them, lightly and you can't take
Speaker 2: my Boy walbert. Lightly you know? What fuck?
Speaker 1: It angel's that mel, cool, cool, last but not least
Speaker 1: four to ten On sunday AFTERNOON. Todj, bradley who has
Speaker 1: been ridiculous as of late Against George kirby And.
Speaker 2: Seattle So i'm not gonna ask you for a winner
Speaker 2: of this. GAME i want to ask you who has
Speaker 2: been more impressive to you this, SEASON. Todj bradley Or George.
Speaker 2: Kirby just in a Vacuum.
Speaker 1: Bradley is that?
Speaker 2: Wild imagine if we said that before the season, Started
Speaker 2: LIKE i also Said bradley, definitely and like that's. Crazy
Speaker 2: that's a crazy thing that has developed this.
Speaker 1: Year the stuff has always been in. There and the
Speaker 1: month Of july For Todd bradley has been. Ridiculous this
Speaker 1: game thirty seven, innings has forty eight case in six.
Speaker 2: STARTS i just think that's. Awesome AND i think sometimes
Speaker 2: we overlook and we not anoint these guys based on
Speaker 2: what we've, seen but we don't talk about the evolution
Speaker 2: of these. Pitchers Like TODs bradley when he was on the,
Speaker 2: race he was having major. Problems he was up and,
Speaker 2: Down he couldn't locate. Anything and he has landed with
Speaker 2: The twins and developed into a really strong number two
Speaker 2: starter with a fastball that lives up on the, zone
Speaker 2: with good breaking balls like he's starting to do a
Speaker 2: really good. Pitcher AND i think The twins give The
Speaker 2: mariners the business this. Weekend i'm going to pick The
Speaker 2: twins to not only win the, series but win this.
Speaker 2: Game AND i think this will be the. Decider and
Speaker 2: this week three's that's what we.
Speaker 1: GOT i got a subway to catch to Watch Freddy
Speaker 1: pearl to not.
