Speaker 1: What is up, friendos, and welcome into leading off right
Speaker 1: here on Fantasy Pros. I am the Welsh, that is
Speaker 1: the Bogman. So you know what that means today is little.
Speaker 2: New it l order for.
Speaker 1: It, a little itl invasion here for leading off. Bogman
Speaker 1: is with me today as we are going through all
Speaker 1: the baseball stuff, because what a wee can we can
Speaker 1: always like playkate that stuff. We're like, hey, we got
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. We got a lot to
Speaker 1: talk about, a lot of news and notes. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do some deep dives, big deep dives in here. There's
Speaker 1: some kind of significant injuries as well that are floating
Speaker 1: out there. But Bog's the only thing I actually care
Speaker 1: about in the world to know is are you officially
Speaker 1: jumping on Doomsday Day? Have you watched the trailer? Have
Speaker 1: you bought your tickets? Are you ready? Because the trailer
Speaker 1: dropped today. It's the only important thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know what we're to talking about Avengers Doomsday.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, I have not seen any trailers. Okay,
Speaker 2: I have not bought any tickets, all right. And I
Speaker 2: also thought that I was lame for not seeing the Odyssey.
Speaker 2: This weekend, so I didn't even know when when is
Speaker 2: Doomsday out until but the tickets are. Of course we
Speaker 2: needed a trailer, you know what. I got all the
Speaker 2: tickets I need. Okay, I have all. If you need tickets,
Speaker 2: hit me up.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, well, Doomsday trailers out so we could talk
Speaker 1: about that another time. I'm glad to do it with you.
Speaker 1: Tickets are out, so you can go and buy that,
Speaker 1: but wait till the show is done. Then you can
Speaker 1: go and click over and you can do all the
Speaker 1: stuff and things if you'd like. As mentioned, tons of notes,
Speaker 1: crazy deep dives, weird stats that are floating out there, injuries,
Speaker 1: home runs, and even a little bit of betting action
Speaker 1: is what we have got because Joe Rico is out
Speaker 1: for a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Bogman, who gets vacations, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm here, I don't know.

Speaker 1: little shout out during the show and if you guys
Speaker 1: got questions, keep rolling with it. But let's jump into
Speaker 1: the show, and let's jump into the top headline, which
Speaker 1: I do feel that there are many. It is Hunter Goodman.
Speaker 1: Hunter Goodman with his second three run bomb game of
Speaker 1: the season. As you can see on there tying or.
Speaker 1: He is the first in franchise history with multiple three
Speaker 1: home run games. He is also one of only three
Speaker 1: players in baseball to have thirty homers right now, and
Speaker 1: he has been at the tippy top of trade talk
Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox. I see fans alike across the
Speaker 1: board just trying to make a trade happen for him.
Speaker 1: Rockies are lowly and at the bottom. I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about just him in general as
Speaker 1: a trade option. I will say I was like a
Speaker 1: little just because I think he's a catcher, and I've
Speaker 1: been a little bit like, yeah, you could move off
Speaker 1: of him, blah blah blah. He has been nothing short
Speaker 1: of incredible. Those thirty homers go with sixty two runs,
Speaker 1: fifty six RB guy a two fifty seven average and
Speaker 1: five homers. He is pacing himself out to look like
Speaker 1: he's going to be at a fifty homer mark. So, Bogman, A,
Speaker 1: are you someone that wants to be in an acquisition
Speaker 1: market for Hunter Goodman, and B do you think he's
Speaker 1: going to get traded.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the Rockies are going to
Speaker 2: get traded, right uh I, And I think Hunter Goodman
Speaker 2: is one of those. I just don't know if how
Speaker 2: much longer does he have on this contract. He's not
Speaker 2: a free agent till twenty thirty. He is arbitration eligible
Speaker 2: next year, so it's going to take a ball. This
Speaker 2: is a hall I feel like to get Hunter Goodman.
Speaker 2: But if you look at his numbers on the road,
Speaker 2: he has eighteen of his thirty bombs on the road.
Speaker 2: He's hitting two eighty two on the road versus two
Speaker 2: thirty at home. This is a dude that has been
Speaker 2: a better player on the road when his home field
Speaker 2: is Colorado. We're going to talk about another guy a
Speaker 2: little bit, or I guess on a different show in
Speaker 2: the trade market. I want to get rid of if
Speaker 2: he's because he's a Rocky and his numbers at home
Speaker 2: are good. Hunter Goodman is not that guy. He is
Speaker 2: crushing on the road as well. So I absolutely want
Speaker 2: to try to get Hunter Goodman if I can.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been kind of trading one of the catches.
Speaker 2: Every year, by the way, Welsh, is it get col
Speaker 2: Rawley last year? Is gonna be Hunter Goodman this year?
Speaker 2: We have to pick a random one for next year
Speaker 2: as well. What that's just gonna hit fifty homers?
Speaker 1: Oh, catchers? Yeah, I mean it's it's just the new market,
Speaker 1: I suppose for it. His splits are weird, though not
Speaker 1: only the home road splits that you mentioned. He's better
Speaker 1: on the road, so that's one of those things where
Speaker 1: you typically be like, oh, well, you know, if he
Speaker 1: gets traded and you get out of Colorado, I don't
Speaker 1: like that. That's not a problem really because he hits
Speaker 1: two eighty two on the road, but he also, uh,
Speaker 1: he hits lefties better. He's hitting two ninety six against
Speaker 1: lefties and only two thirty nine against righty's, but twenty
Speaker 1: two of his thirty homers have come against righty's. His
Speaker 1: weird splits are out there, huge trade market stuff. I
Speaker 1: think because of the contract. I just don't know what
Speaker 1: a trade looks like. I think you'd have to trade pitching.
Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox can do it. Actually kind
Speaker 1: of think think he's going to be a highly sought
Speaker 1: after guy if he were to go to Boston, I
Speaker 1: think this might even still be better. Like I'm let
Speaker 1: me actually look I have it. You know how stat
Speaker 1: cast her Baseball savant does the Homers in a different ballpark.
Speaker 1: Let me see what Boston says, So Colorado, it's twenty
Speaker 1: eight if you just hit it home twenty three in Boston.
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of a takeaway in Boston,
Speaker 1: though it doesn't matter because he you know, he does
Speaker 1: it all on the road anyways, So very very interesting.
Speaker 1: And speaking of the Red Sox, by the way, are
Speaker 1: they buyers now? The Boston Red Sox have won thirteen games?
Speaker 1: I did a CBS hit almost exclusively talking about this.
Speaker 2: Dude, the Mets would never.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually insane because if you would have done
Speaker 1: this two or three months ago, like you would laugh
Speaker 1: two months ago at the thought of the Boston Red
Speaker 1: Sox not winning thirteen games but owning a wild card
Speaker 1: spot being buyers because they looked like they were the
Speaker 1: number one sellers on the market. Roll as Chapman see
Speaker 1: us Sonny Gray, see Jared Duran see you you know
Speaker 1: Wilson contray all of those guys. Now it looks like
Speaker 1: they're going to be in a spot where I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna make moves away or they're gonna
Speaker 1: move any pieces. Though I do kind of think Jared
Speaker 1: Duran is still weird. I think that's a guy that
Speaker 1: they could move in a trade that's like a plus
Speaker 1: And as a goalie is saying, holding onto a brave,
Speaker 1: I know a brave has been like kind of boring
Speaker 1: a little bit. But since I wanted this weekend, Yeah,
Speaker 1: since July first, he is the highest war of any
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox hitter. It's almost a full point of
Speaker 1: war him and Saddana Raphael. I've been holding it up.
Speaker 1: My question is really around like do you think there's
Speaker 1: going to be any moves away from any of these
Speaker 1: pieces that are negative and just any takeaways on the
Speaker 1: Red Sox in this streak.
Speaker 2: No, I mean they're holding a wildcard spot now, like
Speaker 2: you said, so, I think that they are definitely buyers.
Speaker 2: I don't you know, you dance with the ones that
Speaker 2: brung you. I feel like, for the most case, so
Speaker 2: sure that there'll probably be a trade that pushes somebody
Speaker 2: out of a job. But this is this is working
Speaker 2: right now. It is white hot in working. Maybe when
Speaker 2: they hit a bump in the road. You talk about trades,
Speaker 2: and we're getting to that. We're getting that point where
Speaker 2: you have to because trade deadline is August Frost.
Speaker 1: Well, it's actually I think it's the third this year.
Speaker 1: I think it's weirdly like on this.
Speaker 2: I think they're focused on pitching, though the lineup has
Speaker 2: been great, so I do think that they're going to
Speaker 2: be buyers. Thirteen game win streak in a wild card
Speaker 2: spot right now, there's still six games back of first
Speaker 2: in the East, but that doesn't matter that there. Right
Speaker 2: now they are a borderline playoff team, and like I said,
Speaker 2: the Mets would never.
Speaker 1: I think they are. I think they're I think they're
Speaker 1: a last.
Speaker 2: Playoff team right now, but I mean to make it,
Speaker 2: yeah for sure. And by the way, odds is sell
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty one.
Speaker 1: Raman surprised. I'm taking shots with Duran. Here'd be the problem.
Speaker 1: Red Sox are winning. As I mentioned a bray You, Sadana, Ralphayela.
Speaker 1: They're getting the job done. They're doing this without Crochet,
Speaker 1: They're doing it without Anthony. The outfield is picking it up.
Speaker 1: Here is Jaron Duran's batting averages by month batting averages
Speaker 1: and everything. But let me run through his batting average
Speaker 1: by month March one fifty four, April one seventy two,
Speaker 1: May huh two sixty one, June one forty four, July
Speaker 1: one forty six. He is awful. You want to hear?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I'm not even do the post
Speaker 1: All Star break, but it's hilarious pre All Star Break
Speaker 1: A one ninety four average, A point seventy seven average
Speaker 1: post All Star Game. He's worthless, like in all the
Speaker 1: sense of fantasy and from like a like a production standpoint.
Speaker 1: If they were to go and get a guy like
Speaker 1: Hunter Goodman, I kind of think you could move djerand
Speaker 1: Rand's been linked to the Padres a whole lot, Like
Speaker 1: I think there's also just like other little things that
Speaker 1: are flowing out. Did you ever see I know you
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to this stuff, but it's a Jared
Speaker 1: Carabas's podcast, which, however, one of the three of them,
Speaker 1: and there's actually one of the guys the guy follows me.
Speaker 1: I think it's Tyler Milken. He's part of it. And
Speaker 1: there's this whole controversy out there that they were all
Speaker 1: buddies and stuff, and Milkin like shared some story behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, and Jared Duran like got in his DMS
Speaker 1: and was like, you know, bleep, bleep, bleep, you're dead
Speaker 1: to me type of thing, and they're like.
Speaker 2: Not Jared Durant. He's always been so calm, cool and collected.
Speaker 2: He's never had an outburst.
Speaker 1: He doesn't produce. Boston is turning on him. I just
Speaker 1: think they can use him as an asset. It might
Speaker 1: literally be an addition by substract I almost Welsh as them,
Speaker 1: but addition by subtraction, by getting rid of him and
Speaker 1: using him as an asset, because whoever you bring in,
Speaker 1: if you bring in any offense, which you should is
Speaker 1: probably takes him off the seat. Here. I agree with
Speaker 1: the pitching side, but like Jake Bennett number one Boston
Speaker 1: Red Sox pitcher and war over the last month or so,
Speaker 1: Bennett Gray Ranger comes back, you got totally like, they
Speaker 1: do need to go and Crochet comes back, you do
Speaker 1: need to make a move. But I actually think offensively
Speaker 1: is the spot that they want to go. And I
Speaker 1: think Jared Duran just kind of I think he goes
Speaker 1: by the wayside. I'm not sure he's knee to continue
Speaker 1: this run, Like, what is he contributed? What would you
Speaker 1: say you do?
Speaker 2: Jaron?
Speaker 1: Let me look at his last thirteen games. Let's see
Speaker 1: how he's checked in. So just since let's see the third,
Speaker 1: I'm guessing this is close to thirteen games he has
Speaker 1: approximately let me look here.
Speaker 2: I mean since the Brank two four over three oh four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to do rough one here. But June
Speaker 1: third or July third on that is like, it looks
Speaker 1: like almost the thirteen games he has four games of
Speaker 1: a hit four games.
Speaker 2: Yes, he's won for seventeen since the break. There you go,
Speaker 2: because they played a doubleheader. So it's been a rough
Speaker 2: go for Jaron Duran. Uh. You know, Beatty here tells
Speaker 2: us you know they're in the market and that Boston
Speaker 2: is one turning on him. I think you're absolutely correct.
Speaker 2: I think getting rid of Jaron Duran would be auditioned
Speaker 2: by subtraction, and I think it would be better for
Speaker 2: him as well. Just get him, you know, put him
Speaker 2: on the Angels somewhere on the West coast, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, where they're one, be it nearly as
Speaker 2: much pressure. Yeah, And I think that would be good
Speaker 2: for him his career.
Speaker 1: And Breslo's got a lot of negative attention to the
Speaker 1: bad trades they've made. I don't think this is one
Speaker 1: where they go in trade and Duran turns around and
Speaker 1: anyone's gonna really care, Like, I just don't think that's
Speaker 1: the one that's gonna get held against you, especially if
Speaker 1: the team can go and acquire someone like a Hunter Goodman,
Speaker 1: so kind of look out for that.
Speaker 2: Also, only if Goodman comes in and is terrible in Boston,
Speaker 2: that's the only way that would, you know, come back,
Speaker 2: Like no one works out from the deal on the
Speaker 2: Boston side and then Duran goes off, That's the only
Speaker 2: way that would come back. But everyone it feels like
Speaker 2: Duran is not long for Boston.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Padres one has been rumored like forever
Speaker 1: forever ever, So I think they're kind of like buyer
Speaker 1: slash sellers. Like. At the same time, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of Mason Miller trade stuff, which I think later in
Speaker 1: the week, maybe Wednesday, I think we'll do a little
Speaker 1: trademarket check in. I'm not gonna be here Thursday Friday
Speaker 1: on those shows, but Wednesday, Bogman will be back with me.
Speaker 1: We'll maybe look at a little bit of like a
Speaker 1: you know what's going on in the trademarket the rumors
Speaker 1: because Mason Miller's out there. By the way, fun stat
Speaker 1: from with the Red Sox in their thirteen game winning streak.
Speaker 1: Today there's a game between the Red Sox and the Orioles,
Speaker 1: and the Orioles are on like a seven game winning streak.
Speaker 1: I think it is. This will be the second time
Speaker 1: in MLB history in which two teams this is from
Speaker 1: optastats in which two teams on win streaks of seven
Speaker 1: plus games meet and the combined win streak is twenty
Speaker 1: plus games. That's kind of like a goofy stat that
Speaker 1: I would usually pick apart. But check this out. The
Speaker 1: other time this happened eighteen eighty four. September thirteenth, eighteen
Speaker 1: eighty four.
Speaker 2: You have to love baseball. Look at that. Yeah, nothing,
Speaker 2: This has not happened since eighteen eighty four, and we
Speaker 2: get to see it in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: It was the Washington Nationals and the Saint Louis Browns Maroons.
Speaker 2: Maroons had the wrong color.
Speaker 1: My bad, okay, very big color base didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: know that was even a thing. But the Saint Louis
Speaker 1: Maroons were on a twelve game streak and the Washington
Speaker 1: Nationals were on eleven game streak.
Speaker 2: So and by the way, not the pen, we're not
Speaker 2: playing that day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a weird, weird one, all right. In
Speaker 1: some of the performance market, Yamamoto complete game, nine innings,
Speaker 1: four hits to and round seven strikeouts. And here's a
Speaker 1: little crazy stat for you, bogs. Yamamoto has gone six
Speaker 1: innings or more in every single start this season but two.
Speaker 1: So that is sixteen of eighteen starts he has gone
Speaker 1: six innings or more justifying a quality start whether he
Speaker 1: gets it or not. That's a crazy stat, especially from
Speaker 1: a Dodger pitcher, which we all kind of like assume,
Speaker 1: you know, the injuries and maybe not going deep into
Speaker 1: games because six man rotations. He's kind of defined that.
Speaker 1: And I will totally admit when we have these conversations
Speaker 1: about all these just awesome pitchers and stuff, I feel
Speaker 1: like I do dismiss Yamamoto and I don't put him
Speaker 1: in the conversation when I'm like, hey, look at him,
Speaker 1: Dodgler and Chase Burns and all those type of guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a Dodgers thing. They haven't had somebody for
Speaker 2: fantasy like this since probably Kershaw. You know, I don't
Speaker 2: well I shouldn't say that, but this is a crazy
Speaker 2: year for Yamamoto. He is absolutely dominating, and it felt like,
Speaker 2: you know, coming off the playoffs, uh, with all that
Speaker 2: extra work that he had. Remember he came in and
Speaker 2: came seven too. That. Eh, maybe the beginning of the
Speaker 2: year might be a little slow. We've seen this, you know,
Speaker 2: Zach Gallon has not been the same since his big
Speaker 2: playoff run, right, so, uh, we see this a lot
Speaker 2: with pictures, but Yamamotos just seems like the terminator out
Speaker 2: there right now, just every single start. You know, he's
Speaker 2: going to go deep. And he has been really really
Speaker 2: good the whole year. So definitely, I mean where is
Speaker 2: he in?
Speaker 1: Say Young talks, Well, the NL is just too is
Speaker 1: He's somewhere, But the NL is Miserowski, It's Chris Sanchez,
Speaker 1: it's Schemes. I mean, he's in the talk. It's just like,
Speaker 1: how does he over? I mean, how does he do it?
Speaker 1: Miserowski gets really babied and maybe has a little aunt
Speaker 1: Chris Sance two. Yeah, I mean like.
Speaker 2: So it's minus from which it should be But like
Speaker 2: you mentioned, the Brewers came out and said we're gonna
Speaker 2: get real creative the day after I drafted him third overall,
Speaker 2: by the way, we're gonna get real creative with his
Speaker 2: innings down the stretch. Obviously, Christopher Sanchez has had a
Speaker 2: great year as well. He's plus six hundred, and then
Speaker 2: Chris Sale has been just piling wins plus eight hundred,
Speaker 2: Zach Wheeler with a great year plus fifteen hundred, and
Speaker 2: then we have Burns Yamamoto checking in at plus two thousand.
Speaker 2: So I mean, maybe maybe not a bad bet right now.
Speaker 1: By the way, what do you think about this? CP? Paulson?
Speaker 1: Do I sit Chris Sanches tonight versus the Dodgers even roughly?
Speaker 1: He's just one of those guys, I totally, it's justifiable.
Speaker 1: But he's one of those guys you just don't sit
Speaker 1: like I'm not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, especially if you're in daily you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. If you're in a weekly, though, you're
Speaker 2: gonna because you're gonna get him twice yeaheah, exactly, so
Speaker 2: you can't. Yeah, I'm rolling him just to see what
Speaker 2: it looks like. You're right, it hasn't looked good. I
Speaker 2: understand the gut instinct, but I'm rolling him.
Speaker 1: Going over to the padres kind of coming back to them.
Speaker 1: It's funny. Some people are in the comments wanting to
Speaker 1: talk about Fernando tatists. We are going to talk about Tatis.
Speaker 1: But Jackson Merrill had a two homer game for this month,
Speaker 1: hitting two sixty seven this month, which has been really
Speaker 1: good for him, averages up to two twenty one. But
Speaker 1: check this out on screen. This is what I wanted
Speaker 1: to show you because I had this, I put a
Speaker 1: note in here where I was like, man, Jackson Merrill
Speaker 1: is just like Jazz Chisholm in the outfield and no joke.
Speaker 1: I went and I had the two Savant pages, and
Speaker 1: there's obviously difference as Jazz has been a little bit
Speaker 1: more dominant. But this is an absolutely free plug because
Speaker 1: Baseball Savant today released their comparison tool, and that's what
Speaker 1: you're looking at. There's a tab up at the top
Speaker 1: where you can put a multitude of players. My god,
Speaker 1: am I gonna lose a lot of time here because
Speaker 1: this is the graphic what it ends up looking like.
Speaker 1: And I just did and I was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: literally wrote Merrill is kind of Jazz chisselm me here
Speaker 1: and I put it in the tool. We dropped it
Speaker 1: out of here as and you can see, well, I
Speaker 1: mean there's like there's similarities, like Jazz is walking a
Speaker 1: little bit more, but just from like a visual standpoint,
Speaker 1: you can see Jackson Merrill's i mean better sprint speed
Speaker 1: by the way adequately the same runner, better defender. But
Speaker 1: then you can go and look and you can just
Speaker 1: see like, well, Jazz is actually squaring the ball up
Speaker 1: a little bit more, he's chasing less, where Jackson Merrill
Speaker 1: is definitely getting the ball in the air more. His
Speaker 1: bat speed's been better, his hard hit rate. Just a
Speaker 1: kind of cool thing.
Speaker 2: It was a sweet spot difference though, Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I know, And it was like a very it
Speaker 1: was just a very like random thing where I was
Speaker 1: looking at Meryl and I'm like, this is just and
Speaker 1: part of it speaks to Jazz because it's like he
Speaker 1: has twelve homers and twenty stolen bases with a garbage
Speaker 1: batting average. He continues to do this, but now getting
Speaker 1: to see the underlying tool, I thought was really cool.
Speaker 1: So maybe something you guys want to check out, But
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was a bias. I'm a little biased.
Speaker 1: I was kind of a buyer of Jackson Merrill that
Speaker 1: he was slowly starting to pick it back up. I
Speaker 1: just don't think he'd be super disappointed if when I
Speaker 1: said to buy him, you bought him. But I don't
Speaker 1: think you would be like over the moon, like hey,
Speaker 1: this is a win, Like he's okay, he is having
Speaker 1: a good month. Things are starting to turn a little
Speaker 1: bit and maybe this will continue. Jazz kind of holds
Speaker 1: the value. But that was really my point with Jackson Merril,
Speaker 1: where I think a lot of people were just like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is over, this is and it's like, you know what,
Speaker 1: even in his stink, he's at least still like high
Speaker 1: homers and stolen bases. Dude could finish out with a
Speaker 1: twenty thirty season only hit two thirty. That's not the
Speaker 1: best thing in the world. But it's serviceable. It's doable,
Speaker 1: and he's kind of a jazz Chisholm, but just outfield.
Speaker 2: He's hitting two sixty seven this month, and it was
Speaker 2: two hundred and two twenty two twenty and then two
Speaker 2: sixty seven. He has four homers this month. His previous
Speaker 2: high was three, so it really does seem like it
Speaker 2: is turning around. I just want to look at his
Speaker 2: career stats and see if he is overall has he been.
Speaker 2: He's been a two ninety hitter in the second half
Speaker 2: versus a two fifty two hitter in the first half
Speaker 2: over his career, so it seems like he does pick
Speaker 2: it up a little bit more in the second half.
Speaker 2: By the way, just in his career, his ISO jumps
Speaker 2: from one forty six to two sixty nine in the
Speaker 2: second half, So it looks like Jackson Merril is a
Speaker 2: massive second half player, and he's doing what he has
Speaker 2: historically done in the first three games since the break.
Speaker 1: And sometimes like looking at like the underlying stuff like this,
Speaker 1: it doesn't it's not helpful. But I thought it was
Speaker 1: interesting and kind of helpful in that both of these
Speaker 1: guys are producing similar to each other. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: double digit homers, twenty plus stolen bases, they're both in there.
Speaker 1: Jazz is a little bit more sluggy, he just had
Speaker 1: that walk off just the other day. But I thought
Speaker 1: both of these guys kind of lived in a similar range.
Speaker 1: And I'll bet you Jackson Merrill costs half the cost
Speaker 1: of what Jazz is and both of them should be lower.
Speaker 1: So you guys want to go play around, maybe you
Speaker 1: could present some to us that we can have some
Speaker 1: fun with. It's the comparison toolover on Baseball Savant. So
Speaker 1: I had a little bit of fun with that and
Speaker 1: discovered that this morning, so it could you know, it
Speaker 1: could reach to all of that. All right, a couple
Speaker 1: more notes and then I want to get into some
Speaker 1: deep dive stuff. Nolan McClain six innings, two hits, ten
Speaker 1: strikeouts with a couple walks and his crazy buzz saw
Speaker 1: curveball insanity that he puts out there. So you know, hey,
Speaker 1: guess what, Nolan McClain's really good and he continues to
Speaker 1: be good. How about this one is gonna speak to
Speaker 1: you a little bit more. Ury Perez six innings, one hit,
Speaker 1: three walks and nine strikeouts. Everybody in their mother has
Speaker 1: been sharing this, but rightfully. So here is his last
Speaker 1: seven days or seven starts Eury Perez over his last
Speaker 1: seven starts, essentially when he came back from IL, thirty
Speaker 1: nine innings, a one point one four ERA, a point
Speaker 1: seven whip, a six percent walk rate, a thirty two
Speaker 1: and a half percent k percentage, and has even kept
Speaker 1: batting averages under a one point fifty thirty two percent
Speaker 1: K six walks over forty innings. That's the Uri Perez
Speaker 1: that everybody was looking to buy, and it's coming off
Speaker 1: of an injury where we were really worried. So you're
Speaker 1: Ury Perez is performing at a top fifteen sp level
Speaker 1: rest of season? Do you buy him as a top
Speaker 1: fifteen sp I do?
Speaker 2: He's been incredibly frustrating, right, But this is what I
Speaker 2: thought we were getting at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 2: So I'm hoping that we get this for the rest
Speaker 2: of the year. And like you said, it was clearly
Speaker 2: the injury that was dogging him at the beginning of
Speaker 2: the year and it is all coming together now. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I do think we're gonna get the really good version
Speaker 2: of Uri for the rest of this season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, URI's a buying in you guys. Let me know.
Speaker 1: I'm really curious, are you buying in? And let me see?
Speaker 1: Actually this would be a really good one. Who do
Speaker 1: you want rest of season? McClain or Uri Perez if
Speaker 1: you can only pick one. Oh, come on, Mets are
Speaker 1: kind of flailing. McLain is at his moments. Uri Perez
Speaker 1: Marlin's trying to win. Who would you rather have, Ury,
Speaker 1: Perez or McClain. If you're in here live, you can
Speaker 1: put it in, and if you guys are watching on
Speaker 1: the YouTube after, put it in the comments below, because
Speaker 1: we've already got immediately one Uri and then immediately one McLean.
Speaker 1: So I be very curious where you guys are at.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Yury here, but that's because I'm kind
Speaker 2: of pot committed to Uri from my stance the beginning
Speaker 2: of the season. But yeah, a couple of.
Speaker 1: Yury Ury's running away in the live chat.
Speaker 2: I understand. Look, look, if the Mets are obviously going
Speaker 2: to sell and then down the stretch they don't look good,
Speaker 2: and a twinge of anything happens with Nolan McLean, it's
Speaker 2: shut him down. You know. That's the state of pitching today.
Speaker 2: So I kind of I definitely understand that. So but
Speaker 2: McLean has been really good too, so I don't want
Speaker 2: to I think it's a it's a coin flip kind
Speaker 2: of I rolly, which one do you want? But give
Speaker 2: me give me Ury.
Speaker 1: And Seth put a pull up so if you guys
Speaker 1: want to vote on that, we can take a look
Speaker 1: at that. In just a tiny bit and then Logan
Speaker 1: Gilbert ten strikeouts, three runs, six innings, and yeah, he
Speaker 1: continues to just kind of roll, and like, I feel
Speaker 1: like we got kind of bored with Logan Gilbert, but
Speaker 1: he's in that just the glob of a bunch of
Speaker 1: those great guys. A couple deep dives, and actually it's
Speaker 1: turned into three players on a deep dive. But before
Speaker 1: we do, remember, you guys can manage your fantasy baseball
Speaker 1: lineups and dominate your leagues, not by just listening to
Speaker 1: leading off, but with my playbook right here, Fantasy Pros.
Speaker 1: My playbook is a sweet of powerful tools to help
Speaker 1: you make better decisions, manage your lineups, and win your leagues.
Speaker 1: It is July. This is when you win your league.
Speaker 1: By the way people start falling off, they stop forgetting
Speaker 1: about stuff. You can get customized Baseball News rankings analysis,
Speaker 1: and you can sink your league and do it even
Speaker 1: if you have not done it all season long, you
Speaker 1: can still do it today. Go and do it. Fantasypros
Speaker 1: dot com slash MLB my playbook, Get the best, be
Speaker 1: the best, and win it all. Deep dive time. We
Speaker 1: got to be a little bit of Homer's And this
Speaker 1: first one up here, I got three players a deep dive,
Speaker 1: one is a pitcher, and the first one up is
Speaker 1: a picture that I have been talking about. And if
Speaker 1: we could bring up the graphic, it is Brandon Fought.
Speaker 1: And I know, I know what you're all gonna say,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna freak out and everything like that. But
Speaker 1: Brandon Fought was sent was actually sent to the bullpen,
Speaker 1: and then sent back down, comes back up this start
Speaker 1: on Saturday. He went uh five and one third, two
Speaker 1: ear and runs, three strikeouts. He had eighty seven pitches.
Speaker 1: But what's more important about this is since he has returned,
Speaker 1: he's been lights out in July, because I think he
Speaker 1: returned the last day on the thirtieth in July. Though,
Speaker 1: over those three starts a two to three era eleven strikeouts,
Speaker 1: which isn't super sexy, but zero walks is zero walks.
Speaker 1: So four starts back, he has only walked one batter.
Speaker 1: If we add those strikeouts in, it's fourteen. I mean
Speaker 1: like Brandon Fought has refound some of his stuff. He's
Speaker 1: also adjusting his pitch mix a little bit. Four starts in,
Speaker 1: nobody has been more trustworthy, especially after Wardo got banged
Speaker 1: around in the diamondback's rotation, and he looks like he
Speaker 1: could at least be a streamer. Everybody's screaming at me
Speaker 1: in the chat. I'm just saying he has been worthy.
Speaker 1: He can hold Molner whatever. He is worthy. Right now,
Speaker 1: he's gone five, he's gone five, he's given up five
Speaker 1: total and runs over four. He's striking guys out, he's
Speaker 1: not walking guys. He's being efficient. It's a really good
Speaker 1: defensive diamondbacks have. I just don't think he should be
Speaker 1: available out there.
Speaker 2: What say you look? I watched the interview with Brandon
Speaker 2: Fodd after his most recent start, and they said when
Speaker 2: he went down, he focused on trusting his stuff, throwing strikes,
Speaker 2: getting the ball over the plate, and not giving up
Speaker 2: free base runners. That is what we've seen and the results.
Speaker 2: Trust your defense, Trust that your stuff is not going
Speaker 2: to get hammered. Right, That's basically what it has been.
Speaker 2: So is there going to be an adjustment by hitters? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: And will he get hit around? Maybe you know, But
Speaker 2: right now it has been working for you know, four
Speaker 2: straight starts, so it's working right now. I know. Maybe
Speaker 2: people are tired of hearing about fought.
Speaker 1: Well, there's we haven't talked about him all year. To
Speaker 1: be fair, he's been he was not worth anything all
Speaker 1: season long up until these last.
Speaker 2: Hype when he came up was huge, and then obviously
Speaker 2: he is not. He has not reached that and we're
Speaker 2: not saying he's going to reach that. But can he
Speaker 2: be a serviceable streaming option for you right now? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: He's not you know, throwing any complete games. He's not
Speaker 2: even getting quality starts right now, but he is giving
Speaker 2: you quality innings and that is what we want. So
Speaker 2: uh I, you know, we'll take it for what he's
Speaker 2: doing right now. I all right, do you have to
Speaker 2: be leary? I know the other shoes.
Speaker 1: I'm laughing at that. I think Seth, you saw that
Speaker 1: as fought an aircraft carrier. This is hilarious. You know
Speaker 1: what's funny is I did an episode of The Tailgate
Speaker 1: like a week and a half ago, and it was
Speaker 1: one of those shows. Seth Wilcock was on it and
Speaker 1: like I was having I was having one of those
Speaker 1: great shows, you know what I mean. And then at
Speaker 1: the end, right towards the end, pitching a perfect game
Speaker 1: I was, I was, and then I walked a guy
Speaker 1: because I mentioned Christian Kirk and it was really stupid
Speaker 1: of me, and I was like, oh, I wish I
Speaker 1: didn't do that. I think I was having a really
Speaker 1: good game at the top of this show, and then
Speaker 1: I'm clearly seeing Brandon fought the deep dive. Nobody it's
Speaker 1: it's the deep dive nobody wanted to see because everybody
Speaker 1: is killing me in there. Okay, he can't hold Mollmeir,
Speaker 1: but you know, like, no, he can shake it a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 2: He looks like hold a broom.
Speaker 1: He's a good streaming option. That's I'm not saying, go
Speaker 1: like drop really good guys, but you know, just saying
Speaker 1: he's really good the next guy. This is the talk
Speaker 1: of the town. No big deal, just one of my
Speaker 1: best friends. You know, he don't need, we don't need
Speaker 1: to talk about it and make a big deal about it.
Speaker 1: But as Merla Valdes, I know we did this last
Speaker 1: week in a kind of three up and three down.
Speaker 1: I don't think Arico was super excited about it. But
Speaker 1: over this weekend he had hits in both games, hit
Speaker 1: another homer. He has hits in seven straight games and
Speaker 1: this stat has been moving around bugs. There was first
Speaker 1: thirty one games. Here's his stat line. He's hitting three
Speaker 1: oh five with an eleven hundred ops. He has twelve
Speaker 1: homer thirty two RBIs. By the way, he is thirty
Speaker 1: two years old and this stat has come about. This
Speaker 1: is one of those goofy ones. But he the only
Speaker 1: players in MLB.
Speaker 2: One history result. By the way, you said thirty two.
Speaker 1: I said, oh, no two, I'm sorry, twenty two.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Through his first thirty one games, only four players in
Speaker 1: MLB history have hit twelve homers and had thirty RBI. Boy,
Speaker 1: it's an interesting group. Twenty seventeen, Reyese Hoskins, twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: Aristides Akino, twenty nineteen, Will Smith, and of course as
Speaker 1: Merlin Valdez is on that list, you can see the
Speaker 1: absolute insanity as far as the bat speed, the hard hit,
Speaker 1: what he's doing. He's pacing his pacing numbers, by the way,
Speaker 1: over thirty homers if he continues to roll. His bat
Speaker 1: has been so live and so hot that regardless of
Speaker 1: whatever return is going to happen. Of guys like Onnio Cruz,
Speaker 1: it's hard to take him out of the lineup. The
Speaker 1: number one thing that stares you in the face, though,
Speaker 1: is the strikeout rate. The strikeout rate is a massive
Speaker 1: problem with is Merlin Valdez. But I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: of a defender. His XBA really low, His strikeouts are
Speaker 1: a problem, but he's getting it done. I did this
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago with Frank Stamfele on Fantasy
Speaker 1: Baseball today, and I just I still defend that, Like
Speaker 1: he has his warts, but like you also see the
Speaker 1: insanity of like what's a part of his game opposite
Speaker 1: field power? He can pull off, he barrels. He's still
Speaker 1: barreling at a twenty seven percent rate. He gets the
Speaker 1: ball in the air, he can pull, he can do
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. He just has to cut
Speaker 1: down the mistakes. But are you in this is the
Speaker 1: hottest bat out there, the homers, the everything. Do you
Speaker 1: think this is going to continue to roll for him?
Speaker 1: Since the Rico's not here? And I can ask you
Speaker 1: or do you think this is the peak cell high
Speaker 1: moment right now? Because of those k problems?
Speaker 2: Now, I mean I'm not selling him. I have him
Speaker 2: into dynasty leagues, so and I'm not selling him right now.
Speaker 2: And those teams are sellable teams as well, So no,
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to fold up and be
Speaker 2: rc de Sekino, you know what I mean, Like you
Speaker 2: always have to kind of have that inkling in the
Speaker 2: back of your head that maybe this is the best
Speaker 2: time to sell. I don't mind you bringing it up,
Speaker 2: but I'm just twenty two years old. He's hammering right now.
Speaker 2: There's no way I'm trading.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me turn it because you're kind of also.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't have traded a Kinyo either, But I mean, but.
Speaker 1: You're into this from a dynasty perspective. So redraft right now,
Speaker 1: this season like going, Like when we talked about him
Speaker 1: on Friday, you know, everyone's like, oh, this is fun
Speaker 1: to the peak happened over this weekend. Now you're getting
Speaker 1: the it's Berry bonds of this and it's that, and
Speaker 1: everyone's going out. It's every status out there. So my
Speaker 1: point is is you are at the ultimate peak and
Speaker 1: redraft right now. Do you go and sell him or
Speaker 1: do you hold him for the rest of the season,
Speaker 1: assuming you're gonna get probably mid twenties homers and he
Speaker 1: continues to roll.
Speaker 2: I think I probably keep him, but I would float him,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. See what kind of offer
Speaker 2: you get back, you might get something you don't expect ridiculous,
Speaker 2: you know, at least float him and see what is
Speaker 2: out there to acquire him to, you know, to get
Speaker 2: for him. But I think in most cases you're gonna
Speaker 2: be low balled because people are gonna worry about the
Speaker 2: drop off and everything. And I think I think I
Speaker 2: want to keep him in most places because where did
Speaker 2: you get him? You picked him up off the wire.
Speaker 2: He costs you nothing. Yeah, right, So I'm probably writing
Speaker 2: this out, but if I can get a really solid offer,
Speaker 2: I would probably consider it, so at least floating.
Speaker 1: What about van Rod, Valdez or Langford?
Speaker 2: Ooh, man, I think it's still Wyatt for me.
Speaker 1: But look at this one. Oh that Todd's being rude.
Speaker 1: Valdez or my boy Williar of Bray.
Speaker 2: You uh that one? I might go with Valdez. Here.
Speaker 1: My take on it is this, because you know, I
Speaker 1: definitely agree with your thing, like, sometimes players are just
Speaker 1: better for you than they are in the trade market,
Speaker 1: and that's representative by what people will trade you. Right, Langford,
Speaker 1: it's tough to kind of like, I think the upside
Speaker 1: of him is exciting. William's kind of a Flory type
Speaker 1: of player if you believe he is gonna even be.
Speaker 1: If you take the current batting average and the XBA,
Speaker 1: and you meet in the middle and you think you
Speaker 1: can be a two fifty or two sixty hitter, you
Speaker 1: gotta take as Merlin. I'm just putting that out there.
Speaker 1: If you can be a two fifty two to sixty hitter,
Speaker 1: as Merlin's gonna hit twenty five plus homers this year.
Speaker 1: He's probably more worthwhile, honestly, than Langford, and the upside
Speaker 1: is bigger for him, probably than Willier. But William's kind
Speaker 1: of catching fire. This is great. But that the audience
Speaker 1: that some of the guys are putting these out here,
Speaker 1: those are probably the type of things you can look at.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's like middle line pitching. But to you the listener,
Speaker 1: if somebody is giving you an offer that you feel
Speaker 1: you need to come and ask us about as Merlin,
Speaker 1: it's probably one that you're gonna want to accept.
Speaker 2: If you really would say, would you take Langford or
Speaker 2: is it hey the injury risk is too much, I
Speaker 2: think it.
Speaker 1: Would take its like every other week, I think I
Speaker 1: might take Langford. I have to say, for me, I
Speaker 1: do think so much of the profile with as Merlin
Speaker 1: is awesome. I am worried. His XBA is really low.
Speaker 1: His strikeouts are berserko land, and he's going to come
Speaker 1: back down to earth. It's just when he comes back
Speaker 1: down to earth, does he readjust He's hitting lefties like crazy.
Speaker 1: By the way, he's hitting three seventy one and two
Speaker 1: seventy one against rioties, which is really impressive. He might
Speaker 1: have a James Wood in him, you know where he
Speaker 1: just like can hit all sides of the plate. But
Speaker 1: if he starts to get you know, really wonky like
Speaker 1: in zone stuff, you know, you can see his whift
Speaker 1: rates really bad. Like I just don't know what adversity
Speaker 1: is going to look like him for this season. So
Speaker 1: if I can capitalize, then I might.
Speaker 2: This guy if he gets wonky like a penguin, Like
Speaker 2: a penguin, I thought you were gonna go there.
Speaker 1: Now the last on the deep dives and then we're
Speaker 1: gonna we still got stuff we gotta plow through here.
Speaker 1: And this is a late addition, and I don't think
Speaker 1: we have any graphics works. I didn't ask for it,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to point out Fernando Tatis Junior was
Speaker 1: in the chat a little bit before. Oh we do
Speaker 1: have one here. Yeah, this was the stat that made
Speaker 1: me laugh. Or first this made me laugh. Uh, Baseball
Speaker 1: world without a zero. This is the Twitter handle said.
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis Junior didn't hit a home run until May thirtieth.
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis Junior has now surpassed Vladimir Guerrero in homers.
Speaker 1: He has seven versus Guerrero six Since June first, Fernando
Speaker 1: Tatis Junior a three zero six batting average, six homers,
Speaker 1: twenty three RBI, eleven stolen bases, an eighteen percent k percentage.
Speaker 1: So that's a month and a half, a six percent
Speaker 1: walk rate, a one thirty four WRC plus. Now here's
Speaker 1: the really good stat. You kind of look and you say, okay,
Speaker 1: what is changed in his game? So I went and
Speaker 1: looked since June first, obviously season totals by the way backtrack,
Speaker 1: four degree lawn changle still looks like kind of sucks.
Speaker 1: You see this like really fun profile, but check this
Speaker 1: out since June first, a seven point eight degree lawnchangle.
Speaker 1: That's nothing to scream home about, of course, but it's
Speaker 1: almost double where he was at a thirteen plus percent
Speaker 1: barrel rate, which is higher than it was a fifty
Speaker 1: six percent hard hit rate. And this is my favorite
Speaker 1: one since June first. No baseball player has a higher
Speaker 1: average exit velocity than Fernando Tatis Junior ninety four point
Speaker 1: six miles per hour. That is tied with Kyle Schwarber
Speaker 1: and his EV ninety his third in baseball only Junior Camenaro,
Speaker 1: and dang it, I'm forgetting who the other person was.
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis Junior has been a rough ride, but you
Speaker 1: kind of you baseline off of the talent. He's turning
Speaker 1: this thing around. He's got tons of stolen bases and
Speaker 1: it looks like the profile is changing. He's finding ways
Speaker 1: to get the ball in the air. So unfortunately the
Speaker 1: window has closed. I just wanted to throw this out.
Speaker 1: I was kind of a loudish buyer about Tatis, but
Speaker 1: at the same time, I was like taking Sal Stewart
Speaker 1: over him. So there's no win really in here, because
Speaker 1: he was just a tough He was tough to gauge. Man.
Speaker 2: It just made no sense, right, like the bad staring,
Speaker 2: like how Todd It's like maybe change his diet, you know,
Speaker 2: but you know, it really made no sense the way
Speaker 2: he was hitting in the first half right or up
Speaker 2: until June first, like you mentioned, So that made no sense.
Speaker 2: It felt like this was always going to happen. And
Speaker 2: he looks real good coming off the brake, like he
Speaker 2: really really needed it. So I do think you know,
Speaker 2: the windows done, it's shut. Its closed. If you were
Speaker 2: going to get Tatis earlier, great, but now you gotta
Speaker 2: be done with that because he is about to go off.
Speaker 2: I think the second half is gonna be huge for
Speaker 2: touch Ies.
Speaker 1: Thirteen percent barrel, fifty six percent hard hit rate, average
Speaker 1: evs through the roof, and he's almost doubled his season
Speaker 1: long launch angle Like those are those are things that
Speaker 1: kind of gets you pretty excited and get you moved.
Speaker 2: Here Lee here says be honest, you said by him
Speaker 2: at a discount. Yeah, he was playing like garbage for
Speaker 2: eight weeks, so yeah, you have to get the discount.
Speaker 1: I think we might be giving me the I think
Speaker 1: he's giving me flowers. I think he's giving me flowers back.
Speaker 1: Then maybe I'm wrong because as a Tatis owner, we remember,
Speaker 1: I mean know, maybe I'm not at a discount. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you giving me flowers?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that is In.
Speaker 2: Tell tone through text.
Speaker 1: I had multiple sides to this where it was like,
Speaker 1: you look at his level of ability to hit hard,
Speaker 1: hit everything like that, you get excited, but at the
Speaker 1: same time, it was like, can this swing get fixed?
Speaker 1: So like, I'm not trying to take any real, actual
Speaker 1: to real Flowers. I was a Tatis seller and you
Speaker 1: were trying to get me ripped off. Oh no, Flowers,
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to get you ripped off. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess I was making it harder on you for sure,
Speaker 1: because I was telling people, if you're buying on Tatis,
Speaker 1: make sure you're getting a discount. Hey, you know what
Speaker 1: you should get me, Flowers. I did you a favor
Speaker 1: because now you couldn't trade it.
Speaker 2: Were saying no discount, Well no, so go go go
Speaker 2: trade him.
Speaker 1: Now I made it difficult for you to trade him
Speaker 1: and you had to hold on to him. And now
Speaker 1: you got this great player, So you know what you
Speaker 1: owe me.
Speaker 2: You're welcome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay, all right? Those are those are the
Speaker 1: deep dives. Hopefully you guys enjoyed those three up and
Speaker 1: three down. As mentioned, Yamamoto Complete game four hits two
Speaker 1: and run seven strikeouts.
Speaker 2: First complete game ever was kind of surprising to hear
Speaker 2: just s how dominant he's been.
Speaker 1: Is that true? Ye?
Speaker 2: I don't think that's true.
Speaker 1: I thought I thought he is.
Speaker 2: I thought it was his.
Speaker 1: Third I heard, okay, Drake Baldwin turning it around. Drake
Speaker 1: Baldwin had been an absolute disaster coming off of the
Speaker 1: I l and stuff and fell in our second half
Speaker 1: draft five for five, two homers, two RBIs against Texas
Speaker 1: and Goodman White hot three homers, five RBIs on the down.
Speaker 1: Marcus Simeon oh for five, a golden sombrairie, I believe,
Speaker 1: four strikeouts versus the Phillies. James would oh for five
Speaker 1: three strikeouts against the A's. Put my hands up for
Speaker 1: a second. I'm let's please.
Speaker 2: Not do this.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, not James, No, not at all, Not
Speaker 1: to make sure remotely close to saying that yet, but
Speaker 1: please don't do this to me in the second half again.
Speaker 1: And h e Rod. I will take some flowers for this.
Speaker 1: I was cell cell sell e Rod before the break
Speaker 1: and came back to two and two thirds seven hits,
Speaker 1: five eurned runs, two walkslee strikeouts, got beat around, But
Speaker 1: I also don't deserve that much because he had one
Speaker 1: of the highest expected era versus e RA. You know
Speaker 1: like that, that was obvious. It was one of the
Speaker 1: highest in baseball.
Speaker 2: Tied for the biggest comeback in dback's history yesterday by
Speaker 2: the way down seven zip and one to eight seven.
Speaker 1: They were And it wasn't unfortunately with Corbyn Carroll. Because
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll looking at injuries, he injured injured his shoulder.
Speaker 1: He hyper extended it. I believe they said, doesn't look
Speaker 1: like it's a brutal, brutal but that's not good, so
Speaker 1: be on the lookout for that. I always worry about
Speaker 1: those things. Bigger news, Shoho Tani is not going to
Speaker 1: pitch anytime soon. This one is funny, just to bring
Speaker 1: I know I said this a couple of times, but
Speaker 1: I this was a big topic on a CBS TV
Speaker 1: hit I did where I was asked, do we uh
Speaker 1: Did I agree with them pitching him so soon? And
Speaker 1: I was like, no, he had an injection in his knee.
Speaker 1: From a real baseball perspective, they should baby the crap
Speaker 1: out of him and he shouldn't pitch. And now he's not.
Speaker 1: So he's not gonna be pitching anytime remotely soon. They
Speaker 1: will tell us he was scheduled to pitch on Wednesday. Also,
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge transferred to the sixty day aisle is going
Speaker 1: to need another scan. I don't love that.
Speaker 2: Still looking like maybe early September at best.
Speaker 1: At best, I thought he was retiring. But there was
Speaker 1: like a news press conference about Brandon Woodruff with the Brewers,
Speaker 1: and apparently he's just having I think it's like a it's.
Speaker 2: Like a capsule surgery, soul surgery.
Speaker 1: Yeah, on his shoulder, brutal.
Speaker 2: He's gonna. I went and looked it up. The average
Speaker 2: return to the BIGS is four hundred and sixty seven
Speaker 2: days or four hundred and seventy days or something like
Speaker 2: that after capsule surgery, and it is what ruined Johan
Speaker 2: Santana's career. Yeah, he won't.
Speaker 1: He won't be back in top twenty twenty eight. So
Speaker 1: he has gone for this season. He's gone for next season.
Speaker 1: But they did present it like he was retiring. Like
Speaker 1: Pat Murphy was like, well, guys, I'm gonna let him
Speaker 1: speak to this and I was like, oh god, it
Speaker 1: was crazy.
Speaker 2: So so keV mentioned, by the way, Yomoto has indeed
Speaker 2: thrown complete games before in the postseason. Ah, yeah, not
Speaker 2: in the regular season. This was his first regular season
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: He had two other ones in the post. I could
Speaker 1: be wrong about that. I thought I read that it
Speaker 1: was like his third complete game.
Speaker 2: Well, this is his third in the BIGS, but this
Speaker 2: is his first in the regular season. The other two
Speaker 2: were in the postseason. Okay, so they don't count as
Speaker 2: regular You're right, that's why they said it. But I
Speaker 2: will say it right, So yeah, we're both right.
Speaker 1: Okay, look at us, Casey. MYI is dealing with some
Speaker 1: growing tightness. Exited Sunday's game after taking a comeback or
Speaker 1: off his wrist and is set to go some tests.
Speaker 2: So you know, the lookout I mean that dude is
Speaker 2: general soreness.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, well, if you were to pick
Speaker 1: really really quickly because we got to jam through one
Speaker 1: of these injuries that has you the most concerned. Why
Speaker 1: is it Corbyn Carrol?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's it's been stuff before and he's you know,
Speaker 2: our best player.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And it shoulder stuff. Yeah, shoulder stuff. Very very
Speaker 1: worried that.
Speaker 2: I thought it was elbow. Is it not elbow? You know,
Speaker 2: I thought it was They said hyper extended elk.
Speaker 1: You know what, maybe that's what it was. I think
Speaker 1: I might have wrote wrote that down yeah, elbow whatever.
Speaker 2: Like Elbow's not great, but it's not shoulder. That's true.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, maybe I just like it is elbow. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so maybe.
Speaker 2: I just shoulder was last year, elbow this year.
Speaker 1: Maybe I just wanted to panic mode when I saw
Speaker 1: it and I wrote shoulders. I did do that this weekend.
Speaker 2: So do that to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit scary. All right, friends, We've got bets,
Speaker 1: but first we got the home run calls and the
Speaker 1: home run board high Cubby is the only person at
Speaker 1: forty two at the tippy top. Lee has got thirty nine,
Speaker 1: so flow at thirty seven. Those are your dogs. And
Speaker 1: I'm not even I'm never gonna get on there. I'll
Speaker 1: never be on the board. Can somehow, how.
Speaker 2: Mad will it make you if I get on the
Speaker 2: board at this point in the I.
Speaker 1: Mean, there's no way, but it would. It'd be the
Speaker 1: worst thing in my life. Maybe we can have Bogman
Speaker 1: combined with me. It would be the hope that we
Speaker 1: can do. So there you go. That one Soto autograph
Speaker 1: Jersey up for at Premium Discord. I mean, you could
Speaker 1: pull a Bogman if you want join up July twentieth
Speaker 1: and start doing home run calls and win it. You'll
Speaker 1: be the greatest of all time. I'll give you a
Speaker 1: prize too, So there you go. Home run calls for
Speaker 1: the day. What are you looking at, box.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get weird. I was looking at Hailey o'
Speaker 2: ramos is three for three off walka, two doubles. He's
Speaker 2: hitting three twenty one this month. He has a higher
Speaker 2: road ISO. They're on the road against the Royals today,
Speaker 2: so give me Haley or He's also been hitting lead
Speaker 2: off a bunch I think only fifth since he's come
Speaker 2: since the break, but before that he was hitting lead
Speaker 2: off a bunch, So he's high in the lineup. Be
Speaker 2: the way of five or one, So I like it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's go to Helei o' ramos.
Speaker 1: I'm going with Jordan Alvarez, Jordan ali Verrez going up
Speaker 1: against you and junk who is given up five homers
Speaker 1: over his last four games or three games, I think.
Speaker 1: So that is how I'm rolling it today. I'm going
Speaker 1: with a big dog and that takes us to our
Speaker 1: best bets of the day, brought to you by hard
Speaker 1: Rock Bet Bogman. You've just homered out right off the
Speaker 1: id gate, all right.
Speaker 2: I did. I home it out d Backs over four
Speaker 2: and a half runs in the first five innings plays
Speaker 2: pace plus two fifty. Springs has given up five plus
Speaker 2: earned runs in five of his last six starts and
Speaker 2: has gone five point one innings and only one of
Speaker 2: those five starts swing. He's given up six, So Dbacks
Speaker 2: have some nice momtum after the big comeback win. Obviously,
Speaker 2: probably no Carrol in the lineup tonight, but they have
Speaker 2: been they have been hitting this weekend. So Jeffrey Springs
Speaker 2: shows up in our we do bad starts on IDL.
Speaker 2: He's shown up every week. I feel like it's been terrible.
Speaker 1: I just don't like it without without Corbyn Carroll. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean some offense isn't gonna go so and
Speaker 1: that's that's a big run total over first five. But
Speaker 1: that is big, big plus two and a half back, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's huge plus money mine is not mine, is
Speaker 1: almost even money. I'm going with. This is me just
Speaker 1: playcating to our boys, seth. I'm going with the Cardinals
Speaker 1: first five money line minus right right around one oh five.
Speaker 1: This is picking on Jose Soriano Jose Soriano with the
Speaker 1: Angels has been just a falling trend. Walkout walks have
Speaker 1: been going up. I know he's kind of in the trademarket.
Speaker 1: Cardinals have been absolutely red hot. I think I've had
Speaker 1: a Cardinals here a couple of times, so I just
Speaker 1: need I can push it potentially, but I'm going for
Speaker 1: the win here for Jordan Walker and JJ weatherhold getting
Speaker 1: on the board early. So Cardinals first five on the
Speaker 1: money line. If they're up through the first five, I win.
Speaker 1: If they're tied, we get our money back. We push.
Speaker 1: So Cardinals f five is my hard rock bet of
Speaker 1: the day, as as Bogman has got Diamonbacks first five.
