WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off July 15th, 2022 (Ep. 553) 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.400 The o's and m's can't be stopped. Let's play ball. 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.439 Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros. This is leading off, 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.000 brought to you by bet MGM, the King of sports Books. 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:22.840 It's me Joey p joe Piece app Here with you 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.680 is the Welsh as always, and it's you. It's a 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.319 fun Friday. We got the All Star break looming, a 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.080 few more games to hit up some good ones as well. 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:33.360 We had a picture's duel last night in San Francisco 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.239 that was certainly fun. And we have our Home Run 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.640 Derby participants and I am remiss. I said we would 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.919 get to how we're doing the home Run Derby contest thing, 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:43.880 and then I forgot to do it. Because I'm old 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.240 and I'm c nile and Welsh. I think it's time 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.400 to start me on some of that special medication. 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:50.440 I was gonna ask, because I mean, the first thing 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:51.560 out the top, what are we doing? 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:55.800 Are we drafting? And it's gone, it's gone. 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.880 So here here's what we're gonna do. I'm just gonna 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:58.960 do this right at the top of the show so 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.760 I don't forget. So here is what the Lonky Penguin 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.400 put together for us. I put in the show sheets 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.680 so I wouldn't forget again. So here's what's gonna happen. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.920 Everybody's gonna select who they think will win and who 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.319 they think will finish second. So you pick your one 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.120 and your two finishers. So you pick your finals. I 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.360 think these two people in the final, this person is 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.600 the home run champ. Then everybody predicts a total number 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.000 of home runs for the entire contest as a whole. 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.280 Anyone who picks the winner gets one point. If you 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.399 pick the winner and the runner up person in the 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.280 correct order, correct order, you get two points. And whoever 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.080 picks the correct first and second place hitters and is 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.399 the closest to the total number gets three points. So 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.640 we're doing it on a sliding scale. Does that make 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.319 sense that I lay it out well or is it 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:44.320 too complicated? 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.000 As clear as mud, I think we're good. I think 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.560 we're good. So I failed, So no, no, I got it. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.240 You get three points. 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.600 So if I think it's Sodo and Julio at the end, 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.600 then Sodo and Julio my ones and two picks. If 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.200 I'm right, I get a point for each of those things. 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.200 And if I get the highest total with those right, guys, 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.720 then I get three points. So it's basically like a 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.080 sliding scale of points. I think it's fun. If you 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.560 have questions, hit up Wonky Penguin on Discord and she's 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.480 running it. So that's I'm just passing the buck. 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:16.520 And what do we do it? Do we do it 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.959 in the home run the home run room on call room? 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.280 I believe we do it in the home run call room. 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:23.280 I will make my go. 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.440 There's a tag right there that Wonky just put the 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.840 tag in the chat. It's one uh and then the 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:30.160 HR call tag. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.440 For all three there you go, use one HR call 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.200 tag for all three in the order. So you put 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.359 the name the name, so the first name you thinks first, 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.280 the second name you think a second, and then the 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:40.960 number I guess is the next thing. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.400 So that's yeah, that's. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.239 Pretty easy, right, Wonky? Did I do it right? Did I? 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:44.600 Maybe? 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:44.840 Right? 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.800 Maybe maybe somebody, if you guys aren't checking out the discord, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.639 maybe somebody could throw an example in there for the 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.480 people that come in and want to put their picks in. 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.200 Maybe someone could show exactly what their picks are so 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:56.239 we could see how it works. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.280 But it's good. There you go, there, Wonke if you 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.079 want to give an example here, I could flash that 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.160 so everybody sees on the YouTube channel so they could 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.760 check really know how they're doing it. I'm sure she's 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.240 already done this in the home run channel because she's 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.280 running that ship. Speaking of running the ship, Gorbyn burns 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.960 ten strikeouts and a no decision against the Giants rodn 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.240 with seven. I watched him with this game last night. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.720 I was actually awake, if you could believe it, which 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.320 is really odd for me. And yeah, it was very good, 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.919 very entertaining. Pitcher's duel Tristan McKenzie struck out twelve guys. 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.200 You know, Mackenzie's had a really nice season, starting to 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.760 develop into the picture you think he could be. You know, 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.360 the frame I think will always be a little bit 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:33.960 of an issue. He's a little bit heavier than he 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.280 was last year. But I know it hasn't been all 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.400 roses with mackenzie. But if you liked what you've seen 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.120 out of him more often than not, I think the 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.440 answer is guest this year, right. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.640 Yeah, I think it's a pretty big yess on that. 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.120 Bag and I were going through some gambling bets yesterday 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.000 and we were just all over this game. With the 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.360 strikeout prop and the first five and then the actual 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.840 run line because you know, just beating up on the 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.520 Tigers and Mackenzie in general. McKenzie three two ERA after 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.880 that performance almost nine k per. 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.280 Nine little bit inflated left on base. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.520 Percentage, which you would like to see adjust. It's a 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.160 little over eighty three percent. But one hundred innings on 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.720 the air with seven wins and not an insanely different 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.640 era to x fit, it's a great season. We're gonna 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.680 come out. He's gonna be one of those guys next year. 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.960 Who's gonna be one of those what is it like 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.080 eighty to one twenty sleeper pitchers that we're betting on 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.360 that's gonna take the next big jump, because he's taking 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:25.840 the next big jump this year. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.360 So just exponential moves. 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.840 And here you go, this is what it looks like. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:35.400 Exclamation point hr dash call and got Pete Alonso Kama 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.039 Juan Soto Coama five hundred and seventy two, which actually 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.480 sounds pretty good. Think I might just do that. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.240 And that's gonna exact one. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.080 Yeah, I'm just gonna steal that exact one. See how 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.640 it goes happen. Something wouldn't be hilarious, is like dead on. 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.120 And that was just the example one think I might 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:48.720 do that just. 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.479 And everybody's got to make sure when you're doing it, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.640 make sure you pay attention to the bracket so you're 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.120 moving the right players. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.800 Yeah, you know, look at the we'll talk about the 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.960 bracket in a second show. Io Tani reach base three 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.440 times and the Angel loss, So what else is new? 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.240 But he did move ahead of Aaron Judge and the 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.520 MVP voting on the or not voting in the MVP 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.320 odds pardon me over on Fanduels. So there you go. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.279 That's very exciting. Carlos carrasco six scoreless things against the Cubs, 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.839 Louis Robert and Homer Hit drove in five runs. And 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.800 our boy Max Meyer is going to make his MLB 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.960 debut on Saturday. I just did a video yesterday morning saying, hey, 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:26.840 go pick up this guy before he gets called up. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:27.839 It's too late. 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.120 It's too late. The video hasn't even come out yet, 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.239 so now it sounds like I'm like living in the past. 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.520 But you know what, at the time, I was right, 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.680 and he's still available in like sixty five percent of leagues. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:38.320 Or something like that. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:39.840 I mean, here's got to be plenty of this guy up. 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.440 Yeah, he hasn't gone and actually performed his start yet. 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.080 I mean place if you're paying attention to prospects or 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.960 you're consuming any Fantasy Baseball content, people are going to 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.560 kind of be on it. But there doesn't mean there's 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.800 a you know, fifty sixty percent of an audience set 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.640 out there that isn't. And Meyer's a relatively I known, 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.600 actually a little bit better X fit this year than 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.239 his era, which is in the threes over ten. Came 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.640 back from the injury. You know, he's had some dominant, 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.320 dominant performances with a couple spots. But you know, we 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.279 we talked about it, like early early in the year, 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.680 there's a guy that was going up against the rehab 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.720 starts of Ronald Acunya and Joan Mancata and striking these 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.680 guys out left and right. So, as you know, I'm very, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.479 very excited about Max Meyer, and he was one of 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:21.359 the big pickups. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.840 And this is one of the. 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.320 Last obvious leaves to fall of the pickups that you 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.520 need to do. I just did a on my rank update, 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.720 I do twenty five prospects that haven't been called up 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.520 to look for and he's at the top of the list. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:36.800 And now now. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.839 It's like an open season of us just being surprised 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.159 guys like a story are up. Now we just have 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.640 to you know, maybe Corbyn Carroll at some point he's 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.560 up at Triple A hitting homers left and right. The 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.880 pool is very very different of prospects that are going 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.159 to be coming up next. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.000 Yeah, and uh, look, Meyer, his only delay was because 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.360 of the injury. Wasn't anything wrong or anything like that. 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.080 It was just simply, you know, the delay because of 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.120 the injury. And that's actually a. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.039 Couple wonked starts though too. 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.960 I think that was because of the injury, don't you think, 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:07.920 like it's kind of like now favoring something and it 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.560 was like okay, and that's all turns out he's on 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:11.240 the eyel. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.160 Yeah, but it all kind of like accumulated to like 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.640 this like month, you know, overlay that kind of was 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.320 into each other because they're not going to bring him 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.640 up if he was struggling, and then he just needed 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.560 to get right after the injury. They I think they 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.680 gave him one or two starts after the injury. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.720 And now boom, we're good to go. But I'm optimistic. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.640 I'm very optimistic on really everything on him, but I'm 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.440 not you know, I don't. I don't expect to see 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.280 any props on him as none of the books have 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.840 been giving first time rookies any numbers. 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:37.600 Just FYI. 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.760 And look now the innings totals on as much of 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.680 an issue too, because he's missed about a month, so 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.120 all of a sudden, good point. Not is concerned about 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.120 the end of the year for Maximyer. So like the 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.520 investment I make in him is very important because like 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.600 now I'm like actually a little bit if he's on 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.040 the way WI, I'm more aggressive because he can actually 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.960 help me. In August end September, it was just great points. 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.040 The first pitch of the game from the Angels, Lefty 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:00.680 read Debtmer's hit home the all two V on the 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.720 left knee. He stayed in the game for a little 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.160 while and then ended up coming out, So we'll keep 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.560 an eye on that. Uh. We actually have a leading 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.080 off mailbag question from our discord channel Edwalking Penguin has 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.560 has asked, so you keep asking every day, are we 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.040 allowed to drop Jared Walsh yet Welsh? Are we allowed 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.680 to drop drop Walsh. That's hard. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.800 Oh that could be like the bot, like you know 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.160 those Twitter accounts like has Vinne passe Quentino been called 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:21.600 up today? 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.080 There should be a Twitter handle? Can we drop Jared? 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:25.040 Drop Jared Walsh? 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.320 Yet I think like sure, I mean, if you if 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.840 you want like the overarching, sure you could drop him. 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:32.720 I would say. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.679 There's context to a lot of stuff out there. He's 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.679 hitting two forty thirteen homers forty one RBI. That's not 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.040 the worst thing in the world. There are worst players 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.200 being rostered. The k percentage has gone over thirty. He 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.079 is not walking lowess walk percentage, second lowest walk percentage 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.280 of his career, which I'm worried about. But yeah, I 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.280 think in like ten and twelve man leagues, there are 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.840 probably other serviceable assets that are sitting around. You could 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.040 maybe take shots. You could have taken a shot out 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.960 like a Vinie pas Quentino. I bet, I bet there 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.320 was somebody that had that exact decision of like, ooh 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.719 do I want to pick up Vinnie? But the only 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.199 drop of a person to have his Walsh and I 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.079 don't want to give up. So I think he's in 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.160 that space. If you hold on. I think you could 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.080 still get twenty five homers out of him. He could 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:12.360 have a little bit of pick up. I think the 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.200 team in general could have a rally around in the 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.800 second half. But I would be okay if you needed. 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.320 To and don't. Yeah, I don't. Look at his batting 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:21.160 average in July. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:25.040 Please yeah, point zero eight one DA in July. So 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.320 has not been good. And I'm waiting for Jared Walsher 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.920 to end up on another team and become like CJ. 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:30.800 Cronwer just as it really, you know, it's like, oh, 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.160 look at that. No, look he's a good player. Not kidding. 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.720 So the Angels do bring up these guys and then 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.360 they don't perform, so they think and then all of 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.360 a sudden they're gone somewhere else and they blossom. Something's 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.400 weird in the water there in Anaheim. I don't know 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.000 what it is, but something's definitely strange in the water 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:49.760 for Baltimore in Seattle, Baltimore up to their highest mark 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.360 since nineteen ninety nine in terms of wind streaks, and 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.400 then the Mariners are up to their eleventh straight win 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.960 as well. Just crazy what these two teams are doing, 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.560 and we don't know Baseball is a game of streaks. Now. 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.040 I don't think any of us think the Oriols are 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.920 a playoff team, but Seattle right now is in the 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.559 thick of the wild card. Do you think this is 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.040 a team that can hang in it the way they're 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.120 currently structured, especially in the rotation. 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.880 I think they got to make moves. I mean about 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:17.160 that out a ton they got to make. I think 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:18.719 they need to bring on a move or two. That's 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.719 why I think you asked me when we were talking 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.640 about the Luis Castillo trade rumors a week or so ago. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.440 My number one of who should was the Mariners. They should. 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:28.959 They should be the active ones. 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.280 They've got the pieces, they should go out and they 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.400 should try to build up on this team. The difference 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:37.000 between for better for worse between the Mariners and the Orioles. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.760 The Orioles have this plethora of young talent that they 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.679 could a obviously trade from, but b they could bring up. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.320 You know, they've done a really good job of like 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.440 slowly bringing up the young guys at least doing really well. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.080 You got dl Hall, You've got Gunner Henderson. You could 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.800 have an influx from that space. So something you could 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.680 potentially think about maybe bring in one more veteran bat 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.120 if you want to trade for bullpen. I think that's 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.160 always the best used to go if you can't get 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.160 starting pitchers, but you've got dl Hall that can come up. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.679 You've got Gunner Henderson to be an influx of you know, 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.120 just one of those really positive young bats to come in. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.800 Mariners don't really have that. I don't think mariners at 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:11.360 this point. 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.520 You know, they've kind of I mean f Kelnick if 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.080 that's gonna work, well, I don't know. Both should be 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.840 more active in the trade market, and I think they 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.720 should start now, because the worst thing you can do 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.679 is try to be competing against teams like the Dodgers 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.240 and the Yankees around the trade deadline. So you should 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:27.520 be active at this moment. 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.040 All right, here's the home run derby set up right here. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.520 Pete Alonso is plus two hundred to win. Klle shwover 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.680 plus two fifty, so too at plus five. That's where 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.319 my money's going. Lon Lacunia at plus six hundred. Julio 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.320 is at ten to one, hosier A mirrors twelve to one, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.520 Corey Seeger twelve, Pools twenty to one. I would not 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.559 bet on Poohles because it's so hard for you know, 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.520 the physical demand of the time limit is very difficult 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.679 on the older player. As far as the I think 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.440 it's pretty simple for me. It's Juio's my favorite long shot. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.199 Sodo's my favorite favorite of the three. That's how I 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.280 would approach this, putting money on things. How would you 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:02.719 approach it? 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.320 Who is your favorite? Sodo? 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.240 Who at five to one? Because I'm gonna make more 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:07.920 money on it, and to me, he's just as good 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.880 of a shot as Alonzo Schwarber. That's a really you know, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.439 I mean, you know, twice as much money on the 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:14.160 same investment. 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:15.800 Should we look should we get into looking at park 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.600 factors for lefties versus righty's in this one? 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.199 Something that can tend I mean it's batting practice, speeds 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:22.880 on't how much that matters. 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.800 When I look at this, I mean, like the homer 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.120 in me wants to take Julio Rodriguez at one thousand 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.400 to one. You're sitt here middle line safe bet. Like 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:36.520 you said, it's probably Sodo, but Pede Alonzo I think 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.079 is ultimately the bet. You know, if I had to, well, 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:43.840 I probably unveiling what I'm gonna have contest, I suppose, 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.720 but I think it's hard to bet against Sodo. Maybe 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.800 park factors come in too. I'm surprised to see Schwarber 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.400 at almost even money with Alonzo double where Sodo is 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.040 right now, that's really really interesting. 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.080 But I would me personally, I've. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.679 Eliminated the long the three long shots at the bottom. 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.319 If I'm making my choice on. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.600 That, Corey Seeger would be hilarious winner, right, go back 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.200 to Dodger Stadium, right, I mean, that wouldn't be like, oh, 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.200 that would be the story line, good story holding up 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.240 the thing there. I mean, this is all bar ballpark. 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.400 If there's somebody that you to manage that ballpark for sure, 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.760 that is something I hadn't even thought about or considered. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:20.800 This is one of the biggest things I thought about 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.360 when I saw him, was like, Oh, that's really interesting 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.920 because that's a guy who's very familiar with the batter's 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.840 eye quote unquote in that area more than anybody else 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:29.640 in this contest. That's kind of interesting to me. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.559 Would you consider doing multi bets on this if you 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.120 were going to place it? Like, are you are you 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.120 like a one better for the home rund Derby or 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.240 do you go I'm. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.280 Gonna take I t fiftree guys. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.280 Yeah, I would take fifty bucks, and I would put 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.440 like ten on the biggest long shot, you know, and. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.720 Then maybe one on the favorite a little bit more. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.640 Yeah, like, yeah, you do that kind of thing. Like again, 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.400 I'm using a multiple. You won't put a hundred on it. 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.000 Then it's much easier to spread it around. But in 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.120 terms of percentages, if I was at one hundred dollars 0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:59.840 spent on the derby and I wanted to have some fun, 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.320 I would put fifty percent on the guy that I 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.120 thought was really my guy, and then I would take 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.640 the last fifty and do thirty twenty over too. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.719 I was gonna say, I might use something like if 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.600 I had one hundred and fifty on Alonzo, maybe twenty 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.880 five on Soto and twenty five on Julio, something something 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.920 along those lines to play around with. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:21.520 Yeah, but you gotta see, as the thing is like, 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.400 to make that work, you've got to put it on 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.080 one of the long shots that's. 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.360 Well hilous Julio's ten to one, Huos. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.760 At ten to one, and Cory seeger is at twelve 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.680 to one. I kind of think Sodo Julio Seeger is 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.960 the most intriguing from the Bettings perspective, like that, that 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.640 would be the trio I would be looking at. I 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.280 don't know the more I might talk myself into the 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:39.560 Corey Seager thing. By the end of this show. 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.360 Who sounds like you have? It sounds like you have. 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.240 I haven't yet. Still mulling, still mulling. All right, this 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.600 day in baseball, here you go, twenty eight years ago today, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.760 Albert Bell's cork bat was confiscated by Empires, and so 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.440 began the greatest MLB heights in history, where Jason Grimsley 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.280 climbed through the ceiling of the Tribe clubhouse into the 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.720 umpire's room, stole a corkbat, and replaced it with Paul 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.600 Sorrento's bat, which happened to be stamped with Paul Sorrento's name, 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.400 So that did not work out very well. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.760 I'm oh, I remember this. 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.960 I remember this very well. Hilarious and once again in 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.520 an era where we don't have social media, imagine the 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.600 Jason Grimsly crawl like die Hard crawling through the air 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.640 shaft John McClain style switched. He actually did this, He 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.240 actually did this. He actually climbed through, got through the 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.520 drop ceiling, switched the bat. But they did all that, 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.040 but they didn't think, oh wait, it's got Paul Sorrento's 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.760 name on it. Probably not. 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.440 The bat drops Sorrento's bat, gets up in there in 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.400 the vent, puts his head back out in the vent 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.600 and goes yip be kayem. 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.720 And then that's so good. That's a good bit. 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.000 I like it. It's so good, so good. All right, 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.560 here's a good one too. Who is the oldest player 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.720 in the history of baseball to win the Rookie of 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.240 the Year award? I thought we did the youngest MVP 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.880 earlier this week, and that was fun. Who was the 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.560 oldest player to win Rookie of the Year. I did 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.200 not know the answer to this, so I have a 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.760 guls disclosure. Go ahead, take your well, you ruined. 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.600 It, ruined it yesterday. I know I ruined it yesterday. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.680 Immediately, I don't think mine's right, because my my, as 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.200 you just said that, I realized this might be something 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.400 of an international player, and if it is, then I'm wrong. 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.480 The player that jumped to my mind because I remember 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.160 him being an older rookie, was Ryan Howard with the Phillies. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.440 It's not Ryan Howard, okay, because I. 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.040 Feel like it was like twenty six or twenty seven 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:26.480 or whatever. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.440 It's got to be an international guy, right, someone like 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:30.680 it came over at like thirty. 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:32.200 I'm not going to tell you if it is or 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.240
