But yeah, 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: hopefully everyone stays safe out there. It's an interesting one 17 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 2: seeing it on the news. Looks like it's getting bad. 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: It gets better, it gets bad, So stay safe out there. 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: My daughter is obsessed. She wants to be a meteorologist. 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: She's six years old. 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: By the way. 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Her number one thing All kids have iPads now and 23 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: she's obviously got you know, her kid games, rollblocks and 24 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: stuff like that, but which she also has is storm 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: tracker apps and she asks every day that both my 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: kids kind of are always asking like, hey, what happens 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: in Arizona. I'm just like, it gets really hot. And 28 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: then I mentioned the only natural thing that we get 29 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: is called a haboob, and then they laugh and I 30 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: have to mention that that is a sandstorm that happens 31 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: because of wins. But their obsession with storms in general, 32 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: from earthquakes to hurricanes and all of that is so 33 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: I have a full on meteorologist at my house giving 34 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: nice updates. But again, shout out to everybody that is 35 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: on the East Coast and dealing with any of that stuff. 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: And you know, I didn't see is there going to 37 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: be any effect on any of the games Baseball games? 38 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: Nothing yet, but like Tampa Bay, the Rays, even their postponing, 39 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: are delaying the selling of their wildcard round tickets because 40 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: the games might get pushed back from that. So they're 41 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: kind of just waiting things out and seeing where it goes. 42 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 2: But as of now, nothing, but I wouldn't be surprised 43 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: if something happens. 44 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, the one of the NFL games. It's 45 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: kind of in a limbo right now. I think it's 46 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: the Bucks game. Is just Bucks Chiefs. It's kind of 47 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: sitting in limbo if it's going to happen. So we'll 48 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: have to see whatever is going to go down on 49 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: the baseball front, the real world front, Bubba, what's going 50 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: on in your world? 51 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: Man? 52 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: What's going down? 53 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: Just just living a dream, living the dream. Baseball season 54 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: is almost over, so grinding away a little bit longer. 55 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: But you know, Bench with Bubba, got a couple articles left. 56 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: It's almost chill down time. Before before you know what, 57 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: we were ramping up again though, So it's all the 58 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: fun stuff. 59 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean always ramping up across the board. 60 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: One thing I am also happy to say, this is 61 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: not the last Bubba episode. We've got Bubba on Thursday, 62 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: so I know this is a final week of leading 63 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: off as everybody, as I have mentioned, and everybody had 64 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: the panic attack and got to their emails to email 65 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: fantasy pros. But it is me and Bubba at least 66 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: for a couple of days today, and we got some 67 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: breakdowns on these final championship runs and a little bit 68 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: of prospect news at least one. At the time here, 69 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: I really thought this was gonna I thought I was 70 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: actually gonna one of two ways. I thought we were 71 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: going to get this guy up, and then I also 72 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: thought we might get him at the AFL, and neither 73 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: is happening. But prospect Greason Rodriguez with the Orioles had 74 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: six strikeouts or five innings on Monday in Triple A Norfolk, 75 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: which is in my mind, really going to lead him 76 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: to breaking camp with a roster spot next year. The 77 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: only thing that might hold him back is injury and 78 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: missed innings, which they could get a little That's why 79 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: I really thought he'd be in the AFL. They could 80 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: get a little bit weird about. But he's at least 81 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: rehabbed back up all the way until this. Now there 82 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: is technically games until Wednesday. That could open up the 83 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: opportunity with this being a Tuesday, that he could get 84 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: one start in the major leagues if they wanted before 85 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: we get to the playoffs. 86 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see, because they're still fighting for the playoffs. 87 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: I believe at least a wild card. Do they want 88 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: to take that risk. We'll see. 89 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: But what would be fascinating though, Bubba is that it 90 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: could line up to like Sunday. It could line up 91 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: to theoretic I don't remember most are all fantasy championships 92 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: in RODO because I don't like to play till. 93 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: The very very end roto to the Wednesday Wednesday. 94 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so if you're not going until Sunday head the 95 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: head championships might be just going until Sunday. And if 96 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: that's the case, you might be able to slip. And 97 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: would you be willing to risk a Grayson Rodriguez start 98 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: if he were to be called up? If whether it 99 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: is head to head or it is rodo, are you 100 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 1: gonna take that risk? 101 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? I would. The strikeout appeal is tremendous, Like I would. 102 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 2: I would take that in a heartbeat, the way Baltimore's 103 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 2: getting things done. So yeah, give me that one. 104 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: Because I'm looking here as well. Their schedule will be Man, 105 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: you've got the Red Sox for next couple, which isn't 106 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: gonna work. It would line up to either if I'm 107 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 1: taking guests here the Yankees on Sunday or the Blue 108 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: Jays at home on Monday. So are you gonna play 109 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: Grayson Rodriguez again? 110 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: Yankees? Would I played Brian against the Yankees the other day. 111 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: Outside of Aaron Judge, that team is cold. 112 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: It is pretty cold. Yeah, okay, so there you go. 113 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: Whether it is the Yankees or the or or the 114 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: Blue Jays, that's how it would line up. Not the 115 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: worst of matchups in her division. Yeah, you're you're right. 116 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you've had like Kyle, you've seen Kyle Bradish 117 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: has been really good just against I think it's the 118 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Astros the other day. As they have put together, they've 119 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: strung together a lot of good starts as they continue 120 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: to stack on wins, and there's a real possibility we've 121 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: not heard anything. There's a real possibility that Grayson could 122 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: get the call up, and you guys are going to 123 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: be have to making that decision. And I kind of 124 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: agree with you. The thing that really works in his favor, 125 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: I'd point out as well, is he came up to 126 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: the entire minor leagues with Ali Rutchman, like he trusts 127 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: ad Lea. But he's going to be at his most 128 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: comfortable level. He had said that he thinks Adley is 129 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: the best catcher in the in the world, like he 130 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: is the best, and they've worked together for a couple 131 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: of years now and that type of that type of 132 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: comfortability with a catcher that shows this picture in a 133 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: picture that trusts this catcher. That that's something that I 134 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: can really get down with in a really tight spot 135 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: for you guys in the back end of your playoffs 136 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: and your stuff. Yeah, so I would be on that. 137 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 2: Real quick before we move on. Since Ronni the oriole 138 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: still did you see that bomb that Henderson hit last night? 139 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: That Gunner hit? Dude, he's oh my, He's surpassing Corbyn 140 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: Carroll for me right now. It's all I have to say. 141 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: You know, that's a really tough one for me because 142 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: I still think Corbyn Carroll, Corbyn Carroll has that Mookie 143 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: bets in him. But boy, I will tell you, Gunner Henderson, 144 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: if the stolen bases were more of a I mean, 145 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: this is what you're gonna get down to, dude, I 146 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: think you're gonna get down to. Do you want the 147 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: more homers or do you want more stolen bases? And 148 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,799 Speaker 1: which side is it going to be gunner stolen bases 149 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: or Carroll's homers? Which one is going to be the 150 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: defining factor for you? And that's what you're gonna have 151 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: to decide. Plus Gunner has positional stuff. We're doing that 152 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: too early. Mockman and I had Gunner locked up, but 153 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to wait and see if I could get 154 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: him coming back. And he didn't make it back to 155 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: me in one of these rounds in the middle, and 156 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: he did go after Carrol. I'm not so sure he's 157 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna go after Carol with the end of this season. 158 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: I really there's a possibility he's going to go ahead 159 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 1: of him, and that might be might be top fifty next. 160 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: Year, very very very possible. I know in the early 161 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 2: draft I have already done that actually counts Corbyn Carroll 162 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: as a fifteen team. He went I believe in around 163 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: five ish middle round five, and Gunner I don't believe 164 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: without the board yet unless he went like around seven. 165 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll see how that plays out. But yeah, 166 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: I could see the way the season's finishing up, Gunners 167 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: probably gonna pass him up a little bit. 168 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, And what is I'm gonna I'm gonna pull this 169 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: up here, because Gunner it was a definite bomb. He's 170 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: showing eye with Comra r and so far he's hitting 171 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: two eighty one with four homers in on twenty five games. 172 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: He's got one stolen base, strike up percentage under twenty 173 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: five percent, walk percentage over ten percent right now, which 174 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: is solid. Your slug is in the fives. He's not 175 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: a three four five guy right now, but still slug 176 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: is in the fives and maintain a two hundred ISO. 177 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: I mean, these are things that you want. Crazy strikeout percentage. Yeah, man, 178 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna be. He's gonna be next year's Bobby Witt 179 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: Junior as far as the value you know him and 180 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: Carol again, it's gonna be a different world with how 181 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: we're drafting next year with a lot of these rookies 182 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,679 Speaker 1: because so many more are gonna be on the table 183 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: and we know the stakes now that even in drafts 184 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: and like November at first pitch out here in Arizona 185 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: or in you know, December January, I think you're gonna 186 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: see a litany more of rookies than we've ever seen 187 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: before go inside the top one hundred. Agree it's gonna 188 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: be wild, which that'll be a good thing. But yeah, 189 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: Gunner has been phenomenal and might be passing Corban Carroll 190 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: for a lot of people. Would be a good offseason conversation. 191 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: Speaking of another one, of those guys that really is. 192 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll give the credit. He has had a 193 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: great run on this back month Oneo Cruz four for 194 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: five in an eight to three Monday win against the Reds, 195 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: And let me pull up his numbers because obviously the 196 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: batting average has been you know, the issue. The strikeouts 197 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: have been the issue. But Russ strung together a nice 198 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: little run. So on the year cruises at two twenty 199 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: five with seventeen homers, eight stolen bases, so I think 200 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: a little bit less than everybody was, you know, a 201 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: rookie of the year, you're doing that type of nonsense. 202 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: But in the first half he hit two oh four. 203 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: In the second half so far, which there has been 204 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: more games in the second half, he's hitting around two 205 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: thirty five, which is definitely bumped up everything he's done. 206 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: And in the month of September going into October has 207 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: been his best month, hitting two eighty one. So in 208 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: the back half of the year, he's really putting this together. 209 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: Most homers have come out of this month in September 210 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: than any other month. He's evenly stolen bases throughout the year, 211 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: and if he can be a two fifty hitter, then 212 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: we're then we're getting into real business with ONEO Cruz 213 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: instead of the anointment of evs and all that nonsense. 214 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, now, I'm with you. It's been impressive to uh 215 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: to see him adapt a bit, as you said, and 216 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: get a little better at the play because the talent 217 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: we know has always been there's just that swing and 218 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 2: missus tremendous as well, So it's good to see in 219 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 2: the I'm with you, Like, it'd be nice to not 220 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: just talk about like the EV's and how fast you 221 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: can throw a baseball, but like, let's talk real stats. 222 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, I wanted to. 223 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: I actually think honestly, he's going to be one of 224 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: the more fun players to talk about in the off 225 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: season when we're not doing this live thing and everyone 226 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm obviously making it a joke and 227 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: stuff like that, but it would be fun to go 228 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: back and look at, like how the entire season worked, 229 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: and that's something that you're looking for. And honestly, though, 230 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: this last month is gonna do something crazy. 231 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: I think that. 232 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, next year, like you you end out the year, 233 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: you end out the year hitting two eighty one with 234 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: you know, thirty thirty potential and obviously just a physical freak. 235 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: We've seen what that's done to guys, like Monday. Monday 236 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: was being cut in years and then he would put 237 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: one month together and we go crazy, what do you 238 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: think the general range of cruise is going to be? 239 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: Well, it's fun because I drafted. He didn't go in 240 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: the first seven rounds, even though many thought he would. 241 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: I think he's with this finish. He's probably a top 242 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: seventy pick. 243 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: It's just he's going to be a top five round 244 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: player next year. 245 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: And shortstops so deep, that's the only thing. It's so deep. 246 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: But he's got other eligibility that could tweak things. So yeah, 247 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 2: he'll be there in that just top of the head, 248 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: probably after the Xander range of shortstops. Something in that 249 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: range would be my guess, but we'll say yeah. 250 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: Bryce Elder, speaking of prospects, fired a complete games shutout 251 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: helped the Braves and eight to zero win over the Nationals. 252 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: What a phenomenal like streaming option for I think someone 253 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: said it in the chat like, hey, congratulations, if you 254 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: had Bryce Elder yesterday, you just won because an absolutely 255 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: out of nowhere performance. That again, hat tip to the Braves. 256 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: Braves are one of those teams you look at when 257 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: anytime their prospects of Kyle Mueller just came up, who's 258 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: had really good stuff. I think maybe still more of 259 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: a reliever, but Mulder, Elder, obviously Strider has made incredible moves, 260 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: potential rookie of the Year. They just when they put 261 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: guys out, we have to listen. And that's teams like 262 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: the Mariners and the Braves. When those pitchers come up, 263 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: we have to pay attention. And maybe the Diamondbacks. I 264 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: throw it as well with how like Ryan and Dre 265 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: Dre Jamison have played. But any thoughts on Elder. 266 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: I like him a lot. He's big time strikeout stuff. 267 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: I've streamed him the last two times least in DFS 268 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: and it's been good to see. Like the biggest thing 269 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 2: that you said there is teams like the Braves, and 270 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: it kind of goes back to it you said looking 271 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: at drafts coming up this year, is they're not afraid 272 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: to call these guys up. So if you've got some 273 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: prospects in the system, keep an eye on. 274 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: These guys, yeah, and see it'll be interesting to see 275 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: what their rotation looks like. And then just since the 276 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: rest of this stuff is a prospect news just to 277 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: throw this out if he didn't see. Also, Diamondbacks sent 278 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: down Alec Thomas. Alec Thomas had really struggled McCarthy. I think. 279 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: I think it was McCarthy that came off the il 280 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: and the half of the ear. Oh yeah, that's what 281 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: it was breathing. But they're essentially going with Varshow McCarthy 282 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: and Carol with Stone Garrett as a fourth outfielder. So 283 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: it really does leave some questions on what was a 284 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: great start to Alec Thomas. He just kind of fell 285 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: apart and does make me wonder what type of role 286 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: he's going to have early on next year. I imagine it's 287 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: going to be fourth outfielder ish, but I don't know. 288 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: You know, Stone Garrett has played out right, McCarthy has 289 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: clearly played himself into a starting role that in development 290 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: they would send down Thomas in favor of McCarthy at 291 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: this time and not like Stone Garrett. So Alec Thomas, 292 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: obviously you can just move along with dynasty. I would 293 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 1: continue to hold because he's still an interesting power speed combo, 294 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: but he's not like Carrol. Just because they're both smaller 295 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: dudes doesn't mean that he's like Carrol, so he's still 296 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: a hold, but he's a dicey hold in dynasty right now. 297 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, putter percent, it's an interesting situation because the way 298 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 2: he started out and all the high hopes for him, 299 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: and maybe they put Varshow at Ketcher, you're rid of 300 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: Kelly who knows? 301 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, they really like Kelly at the end of the day. 302 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: I still I think Varshow is going to be something 303 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: between you know, DH Catcher outfielder. I just think they're 304 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: gonna have this rotation. I think Corvin Carroll is gonna 305 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: be out every day and they're gonna have a rotation 306 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: of guys in the outfield from Varshow to McCarthy to Thomas, 307 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: maybe Stone Garrett. I just don't think they'll move on 308 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: from Kelly because I think he calls it better. He's 309 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: better different splate and I think he calls a better 310 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: game than Varshow does. But you know, luckily for us 311 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: as fantasy, you knows we don't want var Show to 312 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: move off Varshow. 313 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: Yes, I love his eligibility. Keep it coming. 314 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: He's an okay, I mean he's really actually now I 315 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: was about almost gonna say subpar. He's not a subpar 316 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: outfielder because double digit stolen bases and twenty plus homers 317 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: will take every day. But he just is so so 318 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: exponentially less valuable if he doesn't have to catcher eligibility. 319 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: But I don't think there's any going to be changed 320 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: in the future. That's why I really like var Show 321 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: is like, he's just gonna keep catching his games. He's 322 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: gonna get his twenty plus behind the plate every single 323 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: year and keep his eligibility so perfect. Keep him he 324 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: Swarez is expected to be activated from the I L 325 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: and he will be the Mariner's d H coming up today, 326 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a positive sign. And the Dodgers 327 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: also activated David Price in news that is not important 328 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: to any of us unless as a holds league and 329 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna blow a save. Remember when David Price is good? 330 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've already had a bulldog. Used to bring 331 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: the park with him all the time too. 332 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh god, what astro I think? 333 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 334 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I used to like David Price, used to be 335 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: like active on Twitter and all that type. 336 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: Of stuff, and he was Blake Snow before Blake Snow games. Yeah, 337 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: he used to play video games on the big screen 338 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: at the ballpark in Tampa. 339 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and didn't he get like carpal tunnel from playing 340 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: like Call of Duty? 341 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, he got the same carpal tunnel Bogman gets. 342 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: Mmmmmm a little different, little different. I do think at 343 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: some point it'd be fun to break down the all 344 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: of the great video game injuries to professional athletes or 345 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: video game effects, like in football, the joke about Kyler 346 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: Murray when Call of Duty comes out, his efficiency drops 347 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: to Joel. I remember Joel Amaya, who himself guitar hero, right, Yeah, 348 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: video game injuries. 349 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: He's just strumming the base a little too hard. 350 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't hear a lot about that anymore. These guys, 351 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: they've got a better conditioning for their video games, at 352 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: least to hide it from all of us. David Price 353 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: was like the last one I remember. Also on the 354 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: injury front, Juliardriguez is expected to be activated from the 355 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: IL when the ten days are up. So the Mariners 356 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: on the back end here are going to get They're 357 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: getting Johannel back and Julio back here. Short stint stuff, 358 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: which is good for everybody. Here was a fun fact 359 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three, on this day the California Angels 360 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: beat the Minnesota Twins five to four in eleven innings 361 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: as Nolan Ryan struck out sixteen, including number three hundred 362 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: and eighty three of the season, which is a modern 363 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: Major League record. I mean, I get impressed about three hundred. 364 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: Three hundred is an incredible marker for me, which I 365 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: think I did this the other day, so I don't 366 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: need to do it. But I think we're looking like 367 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: who's struck out three hundred in recent history? It's just 368 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: not like it used to be. I mean, I don't 369 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: want to do that, Like things are just not like 370 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: it used to be. It's all worse. It's not. It's 371 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: just the usage of pitchers so much less to get 372 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: guys to strike out. Two hundred and fifty. Two hundred 373 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: and fifty right now feels like three fifty. 374 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: You know, twenty years ago, big time, like two hundred 375 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 2: feels like three hundred. So yeah, yeah, it's like two hundred. 376 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: Like Wow, it's a great year. Who struck out two hundred? 377 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: I don't think we'll ever see three hundred again. It's crazy. 378 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a wild three hundred and eighty three in 379 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: the season. They'll be a guy you know there's there's 380 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a team that's gonna have no restraint. Stryder 381 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of that guy. I think everyone 382 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: had called for Stryder his innings to come down. It 383 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: feels like one of those guys if they're good to 384 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: go next year, I mean, is he going to push? 385 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: If Strader pushes two hundred plus. 386 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: Innings, then he could get three hundred. 387 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: I think he's a three hundred strikeout pitcher percent. 388 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 2: And that's why his draft day value is very intriguing. 389 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: I took him in uh in our early mock draft 390 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: that we'll breaking down. I think on Thursday on the 391 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: end this Fantasy Baseball podcast, we probably won't have the 392 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: I don't think the whole thing is going to finish, 393 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: by the way, so I don't think that whole thing 394 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: is going to go, but we will at least get 395 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: like ten rounds or something like that, and those are 396 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: and that's enough and early early mock drafts, I don't 397 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: think you need the whole thing. Over On the stat heroes, 398 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: Rob Refsnyder had a homer, going three for four three 399 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: RBI yesterday. Cedric Mullens two for six with a homer, 400 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: three RBI, Anthony Santander two for six, two bombs. 401 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 2: Three RB. 402 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: I had a very short slate yesterday. Gunnar Henderson, he 403 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: had that home run. We talked about Marcel Azuna with 404 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: a bomb, Kyle Stowers and the regeneration of the Orioles 405 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: and their offense three for five, two RBI. Matt Olsen 406 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: had a homer, which, by the way, I want to 407 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: point out yesterday. I think there was some confusion on 408 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: the home run board I saw today. I don't know 409 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: if it got fixed. I got to look down here. 410 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: I still don't see it fixed. There's a big question 411 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: mark next to my name. That was my call was 412 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: Austin Riley, so that means I got my home run. 413 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: I had Austin Riley. I had Austin Riley yesterday, with 414 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: Andrew having Michael Harris. Those were the calls yesterday. So 415 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: I don't think the home run board was at least 416 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: none of this Stok's updated. Actually, because now I'm looking 417 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: at it, it shows Austin Rally not hitting a homer, 418 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: but on our stat heroes it does show Oh that's 419 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: Matt Olsen. That's why, Yeah, I'm dumb, that is math. 420 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: It's because I'm a big dumb idiot because it's Matt Olson, 421 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: not Austin Riley. I just put them together. Matt Olsen 422 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: had a Homer, so we just got everybody wrong. Austin Hayes, 423 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: JD Martinez, and Jake Swinsky Homer's you know. Jady Martinez 424 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated with. By the way, in this mock draft, 425 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: we're like through around ten and he's just he's still 426 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: sitting there. I don't think I like believed how bad 427 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: his season won. It is so bad. Do you have 428 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: any hope that it's gonna change? 429 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 2: Yes, weirdly enough, because I think he is that good 430 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 2: and we see him put working in the offseason to 431 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: become a better hitter. It's still kind of sketchy though, 432 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 2: because the drop off was like tremendous, but he he 433 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: he stayed healthy most of the year, so it's just 434 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: it's got to be like a tweak he can make. 435 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: Let's hope. So let's hope. So because he's either going 436 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: to be the massive, massive deal next year or we 437 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: are all just going to move away because like the 438 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: stats are gross. That name value is going to get 439 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: you when you get past one fifty. 440 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: It's gonna be the Nelson Cruise of this draft. I 441 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: thought it was last year he fell. 442 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, that's actually not a That's not 443 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: a bad comp. That one hundred percent is a pretty 444 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: good comp. Also, Jakeslenski, someone everyone needs to pay attention to, 445 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: quietly having a really good season on the pitcher front, 446 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: Bryce Elder he went nine, struck out six. Kevin Gousman 447 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: struck out seven, over six and one third. I think 448 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: we talked about him in the prop contest which worked out. 449 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: Chase Anderson struck out five, going four for Cincy, and 450 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: Roinsey Contreras he only went four, struck out two, but 451 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: only gave up two hits. Not again four games. Not 452 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: a lot of great pictures there. On the stat zero 453 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: side you had Harrison Bader going oh for four with 454 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: three strikeouts, same as Stanton George Springer oh for five 455 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: with three k's, Dansby Swanson oh for five with three k's. 456 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: And on the picture side, Connor Sibolt gave up four 457 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: earned runs, only went two innings for your stat zero's 458 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: over on the home run calls. So again the board 459 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: is all messed up how I'm looking at it. But 460 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: nothing changed that's for everybody to know. There were four 461 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: is four games slate no one had a home run call. 462 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: Yesterday no one got it. So cat Fox is still 463 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: at the top. And when I say the home run board, 464 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: it's just all kind of mixed up for me, like 465 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: it shows me at the top, but it has like 466 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: a question mark of who I picked. The cat Fox 467 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: had Austin Riley, as did a multitude of other people, 468 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: so I don't quite see the whole thing. But again 469 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: it's the same as yesterday. Not a single thing changed 470 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: on the leader board.

The top two are actually very interesting. 484 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: The number one of all of them on the projections 485 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: over Betting Pros Betting Pros the prop cheat sheet, Zach 486 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: Wheeler is projected at six and a half strikeouts today 487 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: against the Cubs. The number is four and a half 488 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: over at sugar House and it is minus one sixty two, 489 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: which is a pretty pretty interesting number. The other k 490 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: prop if I can find it in which I don't see. 491 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: There's actually a lot of Diamondbacks on here. Here's yeah, 492 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: let me pull up another. 493 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: Case while you're doing that, though, just for heads up 494 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: for Wheeler. He's opening and cinder Guard's following. So I 495 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: don't know how deep Wheeler's going. 496 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: And that's got to obviously be part of it. The 497 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: projections may not be putting into They haven't given any 498 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: They haven't given any numbers on that. 499 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 2: Okay, I haven't seen anything official yet. And as you're looking, 500 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 2: Lance mccullor's just got scratched for Tuesday night. 501 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: Oh against the Diamondbacks. 502 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: Luis Carcia is going to make the start. 503 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: Oh okay, I was about to say, Penning what they did. 504 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: I was like, I might get more excited about a 505 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: few of the Diamondbacks, though, I will tell you a 506 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: lot of diamondbacks on this board. If you check out 507 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: the betting Pros board, the other pitcher one number two 508 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: on here is over at DraftKings. It's minus one fifteen. 509 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: It's one hundred green against Pittsburgh under strikeouts, which is 510 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: at seven and a half. He's projected at six. So 511 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: those are a couple of the top strikeout ones. If 512 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: you want to go over on the total base side, 513 00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm probably not going to play a lot of home 514 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: er calls or anything like that. William Contreras is number 515 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: one minus one seventy five on DraftKings, but it's just 516 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: for a hit. He's projected at two point four. You've 517 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: also got Oneil Cruz who has been hot minus one 518 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: sixty on bet MGM for one total base. So maybe 519 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: you can put Oniell with even Kyle Schwarber, who is 520 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: minus one eighty five on bet MGM up against the 521 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: Cubs for one total base. Take Schwarber, take on O'Neal Cruz. 522 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: Maybe that'll be put together. And then there are a 523 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: couple diamondbacks. As I mentioned, Dalton varshow one total base, 524 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll one total base, and you've also got Christian 525 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: Walker at one total base over on Caesars. Anything you 526 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: like on this prop market. 527 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 2: I like that the parlay of the Oneil Cruz Kyle 528 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: Schwarber action there. That could be a really strong one 529 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 2: because both in phenomenal spots tonight, So I like that 530 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 2: quite a bit. 531 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: I was trying to look here what the Judge line 532 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: on the home run call is. Let me see if 533 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: I can see it. If it's up on No, it's 534 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: not even up on here on the board, because I 535 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: know there's some home run calls here for for Judge. 536 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: But if you guys want to play that, go and 537 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: check it out. Go over to bettingpros dot com. They 538 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: have the prop cheat sheet. You can see what their 539 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: projections put out. I find it very very handy that 540 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: you guys can go and piece and sift through all 541 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: of this stuff to find yours. Over on the DFS side, Baba, 542 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: what do you got for us? Give us some info 543 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: as far as pictures, maybe stacks. Who are you looking 544 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: for on the DFS slate today? 545 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: I sure could play DK so those that might affect 546 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 2: you on a fandle. But Robbie Ray could be a 547 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 2: payout spot for you, but I'm good with saving money tonight. 548 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 2: Logan Webb's way too Cheap at seventy two hundred bucks, 549 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 2: got Patrick Sandival at sixty nine as well. Those are 550 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 2: a couple if you want to roll the dice on 551 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 2: Kyle Bradish coming off the gym, Boston's bats can be 552 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 2: picked on, and then when you're stacking things up, I 553 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 2: always like targeting Paulo Espino, so the Braves will be 554 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 2: one hundred percent and play again. And I don't mind 555 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 2: some Astros bats versus Zach Davies will do with my 556 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: two spots to start tonight. But there's a lot of 557 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: interesting ways to go on a very very large main slate. 558 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm very much on that. As a matter of fact, 559 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: my home run call today is picking on those Diamondbacks 560 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: and the very very not great person that Zach Davies 561 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: is that doesn't necessarily translate his personal life and never 562 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: speaking to his wife again is not necessarily what we 563 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: care about in fantasy. But he's also just not a 564 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: great picture, and I like the Astras pouncing on it, 565 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take Joseel Tuve in this one. I 566 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: like that jose Al Tuova called obviously Joe has got 567 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. I see Wonky is picking Mike Trout. Who 568 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: are you gonna take on the home run contest today? 569 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 2: Well, I'm picking on mister Davies too, doing it for 570 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: his wife because I'm a nice guy like that. But 571 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 2: I'm going Kyle Tucker. Tucker has been having a great 572 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: finish of the year to some last year all over again. 573 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 2: So I'm looking for Kyle Tucker to go deep and 574 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: to have a fun one tonight. And I just saw 575 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 2: a headline the Astros can clench the number one seed 576 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 2: with a win tonight. 577 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna be critical really interesting about 578 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: the McCuller stuff too, with being able to clench. With 579 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: being able to clinch is an interesting one. One thing 580 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: I would also point out this has been a strategy 581 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: for me. If you are someone that likes to get 582 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: into the bet prop market, and maybe you do use 583 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: a promo coach for the first time, I bet MGM 584 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: is on a pretty good track record of getting and 585 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: paying attention to the home run call market here and 586 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: translating those over into total bases so, like Brian says, 587 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: love the trout versus Kaprillion, I agree. I am not against. 588 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: I think trout total bases today, which is gonna be 589 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: at one and a half, is a great play. I 590 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: think guys like Tucker and Altuve are great plays for 591 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: one and a half total bases. Play some of those 592 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: guys you feel the homers on and play their total 593 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: base number because it's always one and a half. I think, 594 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen Judge at two and 595 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: a half. That's just not the standard. They'll just juice 596 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: it down. So you guys can go and take some 597 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: of those home run calls, bet them singularly if you 598 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: can get a good price, which usually on one and 599 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: a half total bases you do get a pretty good price, 600 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: even on the good guys. If not, you know, have 601 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: some fun and you put two together and see if 602 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: you hit it, and then cash cash money. 603 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 2: What's up? 604 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: What's up with you this week? Obviously you are covering 605 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: football and everything, but what's up on the baseball front? 606 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: For you?

There were probably about 636 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: fifty scouts outside. It's a wild picture I have. I've 637 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: never seen so many scouts at a game. And it 638 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: had the Reds with Edwin Arroyo who was traded from 639 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: the Mariners, Cam Collier who was their first round pick. 640 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: They were on the corner infield. The Dodgers had some 641 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: huge prospects. Joe Sway is one of the big ones 642 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: that you might not know about.
