Welcome in everybody 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:18.480 till the leading off Here on Fantasy Bros. Brought to 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.440 you by bet MGM, the King of Sports. Folks. It's 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.200 me Joey p Joe Pie's a Pia taking you through 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.840 the world of Major League Baseball, the recap of last night, 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.120 the look ahead to today's games, and of course to 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.920 do it with me, my good palace got Bogwin Bogs 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.160 Welcome back to the show. I know it's been about 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.720 a week since we've had you on, but there's been 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.760 a little change around these parts in terms of that 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.680 home run board. I just want you to know there's 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.879 a new sheriff in town. Well no, I'm not the 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.839 new sheriff yet, but I'm in the discussion for Deputy. 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.920 I'm on the board. Another dinger from Byron Buxton last 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.360 night for me, your boy the Welsh wouldn't come with me, 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.280 So let that be a warning to you. Don't cross 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.160 me on the show today. 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.800 Box I see you know, just so everyone knows, Joe 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:03.760 was bragging about this before the show started. He had 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:05.959 to show me the board and show me that he 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.560 was physically on it. Before the show started, like, you know, 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.120 just ay, welcome back. Look at this. Look I'm on 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:14.920 this board now, so I was on the board. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.240 Also, what what I don't even know what board you're 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.520 talking to. You mean this board? I'm sorry, this board 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:23.880 right here? Is this the board? 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:24.800 Oh? 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.480 Good times, good times. More on that later, but let's 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:28.040 get to the base. 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.160 No one braggs about sixth place like a Mets fan. 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.559 So oh that's a good one. That was nice, well done. 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.720 You got the you got the slow clap on that one. 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.720 I was walking up early today, so I'm not in 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:40.560 the greatest mood. 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.119 So I hope it wasn't my text about us being 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:43.480 up in that. 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.560 Spot or not. No kidding me. My phone is my 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.360 phone is silent. It's never going to be my phone. 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.720 That's what I figured. So hope. I assume it's some 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.760 dead animal out there in Texas. That's just like at 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:58.000 your doorstep, just going making weird dead animal sound. I 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:02.120 imagine that's a bunny in my pool this morning. True story. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.240 I had to save a baby bunny out of my pool. 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.160 So I'm something of a hero. So I just want 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:08.520 you to know in a. 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:13.000 Hero can save us. His name is Joey. 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:17.320 Pe Yeah, baby, all right, let's go. Let's get out 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:18.760 of here. I want to see all the pups of 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.960 the crackajacks of the comments after this one. Let's go, 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.160 all right, So let's get after it, and let's start 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.280 here with Byron Buxton hitting the home run for the 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.240 Twins as they topped the Mariners. Drury hit a three 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.880 run homer to help the Reds over the Diamondbacks. Juan 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.920 Soto pulled is a precaution after hurting his knees, so 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.639 that's something to keep an eye on. Darvish continues to 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.520 be great against his old team, the Cubs. Eight innings 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.880 for him azz the Albi's, though, this is the this 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.880 is the bad part right here. This is the issue 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.520 because Albe's right now gonna be out with the fractured 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.239 foot for a while. It's weird because it happened and 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.480 he fell down and everyone's like, what's going on and 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.400 he kind of walked off, But the fractured foot, this 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.239 is a problem. Let me let me tell you. I 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:58.360 don't know what's going on here. 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.480 I'm assuming that this happened before the at bat, and 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.440 you know, it just it probably just finally buckled him 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.120 when he tried to push off of it. So not 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.320 a great scenario. I believe the said Orlando Arcia will 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:17.760 be taking over for him, so you know, I guess, 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.600 I guess that's our guy for a little bit. Dude's 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.400 already got eight homers, so not not a terrible replacement, 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.320 but not Albi's. Alby's hasn't been playing up to snuff 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.720 this year anyway, So I'm wondering if I'm just wondering 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.359 if something, if this has been lingering for a while. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.440 Yeah, I mean it might be like it's just the 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.480 panic mode, and I got questions already. People this morning 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.160 were saying, you know, I've been off for this guy, 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.760 like you know, for for one of my stud players, 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.920 because I lost Albi's. Like, no, no, you don't. You don't. 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.920 You don't continue to lose or trade off or get 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.640 rid of grape. You don't trade Jordan Alvarez to go 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.560 get Owen Miller. You don't do that kind of trade. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.360 That's not the kind of trade you make. No, it's 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.120 true because people panic, like, well, I got all these 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.920 good players are gonna go make this. No, you don't 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.160 do that. You just play the way wire you hope 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.320 for the best and maybe if you can make a 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.360 smart trade that makes sense for both parties. You do that, 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.920 but don't start deteriorating your strength of your roster in 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.279 order to just go ahead. And you know, and somehow, 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.080 at some point, you know, think that that's going to 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.799 lead you in the right path. You lost the player, 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.520 it sucks, You're don't have to deal with it. But 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.080 by continuing to disintegrate the rest of the good parts 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.359 in your roster, that's that's not the way out of 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:31.160 this problem. Everybody brave. Oh yeah, I got a rotation 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.800 right now. Freddy Peralta, I L Joe Ryan just came 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.080 back to the Ile de gram, I L Chures or 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:38.520 I L. I mean they're all on the I L 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:43.679 I have the best roster. Yeah, yeah, it's it's pretty good. Also, 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.080 the Braves twelve straight wins. Uh so they are on 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.000 fire right now. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:53.239 Are on fire. Shoe they I mean this this squad, 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.640 the Phillies after firing Gati have been great. I mean, 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:01.039 you know, uh so the East East a little closer there, 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.480 a little tighter Joey. 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.560 Yeah, it certainly is, certainly is there. And obviously when 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.680 we're looking at the Braves. I mean, they're odds to 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.719 make the playoffs right now. I gotta check that out 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.400 and what that is, because I still think it's gonna 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.279 be tough for them to win the division over a 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.040 long period, and the Album's injury is gonna hurt them 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.040 defensively and offensively. Let's make no mistakes about that. Sure, 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.200 but this is you know, when the Mets started losing players, 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.240 I was very vocal about this on the show, and 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.720 I know you were probably in agreement with it also, 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.600 which is this is the time to start looking at 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.320 the Braves. The times start looking at the Braves as 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.320 soon as the Mets had injuries, and the Braves, to 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:39.360 their credit, have taken complete, you know, ownership of the 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.200 moment right now to make the playoffs. They're at minus 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.120 three sixties, So that's no good to the win total 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.839 over under This one's okay, ninety one and a half. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.640 The over is minus one ten, the under minus one fourteen. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.840 I think the over at one and I mean, look, 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.440 they're gonna get Soroka back soon too. They have the 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.359 pieces to make a trade to win the Pennant plus 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.520 seven hundred. That's that's still a tough sell for me. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:03.960 But I think the best number on the boarder now 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.359 is that win total bogs. What do you think of 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.280 the ninety one and a half? You go over under 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:07.760 on that. 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.760 You know what. I think it's fine to go over 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.719 on that. I just don't know if that pays enough. 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.680 That's not the bet I want to make right now, 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:20.599 you know, straight because that's basically a straight bet. So 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.039 that's okay. But you know, ninety one games is a 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.960 lot of games, and yes they're on a nice hot 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:30.200 streak right now, but that's gonna you know, that's gonna 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.240 cool off too along. You know, they'll get better with 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.120 these injuries, but that that stuff's gonna cool off. So 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:43.039 I would say that I'm not making that bet. There's 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.720 a couple of bets. Welsh and I were going over 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:49.760 some al MVP bets yesterday, so that's that's where I 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.040 want to bet. I want to bet on Show Hey, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.680 because you know Judge is going crazy right now. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.640 And that's exactly the argument. I actually cashed out some 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.680 of my Show Hey shares put them into Judge because 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.080 I'm wait for the Otani number to get bigger so 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.560 they can investigate in Otani and see where that goes. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.680 That's exactly my plan. I said it on Sunday on 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.279 the on the show on the TV. I said it here. 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.640 I think on Friday a bit a big spiel about 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.520 how to bet MVP and how to approach it. Now 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.760 and I'll tell you what. The Cardinals are streaking to 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.640 a Goldschmith just continues to look great. I think he's 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.000 should be considered a front runner right now, even though 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.760 he's not. Also Jake Berger day to day with a 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.880 bruised hand. Jo say a grey scratch from the start 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:27.960 after the rain delay. So he's going to pitch today. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.200 Dylan Carlson also speaking of the Cardinals, He's starting to 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.040 look a little bit better, so a little time off 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.560 seems to have done him some good. He had a 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.400 big hit last night and seems to be starting to 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.679 pick things up again. Do you think he's He's probably 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:41.960 on the waiver wire and a lot of leagues. I 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:43.520 would imagine I would pick him up if he was 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.160 out there where I'd make a trade if somebody was 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.080 just he's just rotting away on someone's bench. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.080 Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know, Carlton's one of 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:54.640 those guys that you know if he gets back. He's 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.080 not a guy that you can't drop, but he's the 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.760 guy that you probably shouldn't drop. So when he when 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.760 he gets dropped, then yeah, you're like, all right, I'm 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.280 just gonna at least keep him on like your watch 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.679 list or whatever. Looks like he is forty two percent 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:14.240 rostered in Yahoo leagues right now, so he is available 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.520 in more than fifty percent of the league. So I yeah, 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.040 if he's around and you got a struggling player, maybe 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.240 you just stuck Ozzy Albi's on the IL go get 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:24.360 him for sure. 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.400 Yeah. Look, I mean, I know Dylan Carlson is gonna 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.440 be on the waiver Wire video this week now. Officially 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.840 forty percent, that's kind of ridiculous at this point. Hoskins 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.400 also walks off the fills in the tenth there, so 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.360 that's a tenth win. Actually walks walks them off to 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.280 their tenth win in eleven games. That's what I meant. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.360 He said, that's the first time that he's had a 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.840 walk off hit before, so yeah, yeah, it's a little 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.880 surprising for a guy with that much power and stuff. 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.880 But you know, he said it was great. He was 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.040 thrilled to get it, so happy for Hoskins. Hoskins will 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.360 come out here in the show too, So it's funny. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.640 We had a we had a fun little conversation about 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.840 when the a team fire as a manager, that's the 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.600 time to start investing in that team a little bit, 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.800 because there's always that immediate bounce. It doesn't usually last long. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:14.400 Sometimes it does. It's happened before you know, I remember here. Yeah, 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.680 but like look at the Marlins, dude back in the day, 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.920 when they I forgot who they fired, they brought in 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.280 Jack McKee and then they ended up going to the 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.840 World Series that year. Yeah, yeah, and they ended up 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.600 beating the Yankees. So, I mean, it does happen, but 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.520 usually it's that's the minimal bounce. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.520 That was that twenty years ago. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.040 Joe, I think it was three oh two, was the 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:35.280 Angels of Memory Serves. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.480 If that's you're right, you're right, right, you're right. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.920 So was John Lackey, Oh, John Lackey winning World when 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.760 the Welsh was playing, right, Yeah, Welsh was pitching for 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.880 the Angels. That's that's when that one. Oh, let's get 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.880 to some of the let's get to some of the injuries. 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.040 Actually some good dues. Joe, Ryan's gonna be back rejoining 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.120 the rotation today. More on him later to come, because 0:09:56.120 --> 0:10:00.040 I do believe there's opportunity here with him because he 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.679 he has really good in the rehab starts. So I 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.280 don't know how limited quote unquote he's going to be. Necessarily, 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.760 Jack Flaherty is gonna be starting Wednesday for the Cardinals 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.439 against the Pirates. So if you have him, you want 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.360 to activate him. Also another big piece. I mean, this 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.000 is like getting a picture in a trade basically for 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.640 the Cardinals right now, this is huge. Jonathan India activated 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.600 from the IL yesday. Matthew Boyd cut his BP session 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.880 short due to a sore elbow, so that's not good 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.800 for him. But Jack Flaherty, this is the This is 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.360 one to talk about Bogs. I mean, he could be 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.200 really huge for this rotation. If you're getting the good 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.880 Jack flarerty. The question is are we getting the good 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.560 Jack Flarerity. We don't know quite yet. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.120 I mean, you gotta imagine we're getting the good one 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.080 because they held him out until the middle of June, 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.280 so you got to imagine that they're not going to 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.720 bring him back unless he looks right. He had I 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:50.640 believe seventeen rehab starts, so I think he's gonna come 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.200 back and be just fine. So I'm excited to see 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.880 what Flarity's got. You know, my I was telling you 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.200 about my TGFBI team earlier. It's the whole staff. I 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.440 had was my first pick. Then I had Jack Clarity 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.640 late because he's a little banged up. But before that, 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.720 I Chris sailed too, So you know, it's not surprising 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.040 that I believe him in thirteenth place in my TGFPI league. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.800 But if I start to get some of these guys 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.880 back in the next month, maybe I can make a 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.920 little headway. And no, I'm not gonna win, but maybe 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.040 I cannot, you know, at least be not embarrassing, you know, 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.920 over the middle of the pack would be great. If 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:25.840 I could get there. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.800 That would be great. We certainly love that. I'm sorry 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.319 for the Peterson Crackerjacks. We're gonna stream yard issue where 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.400 I can't actually bring your comments on to the screen. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.080 But now I've got it up on YouTube so I 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.480 can see team Rando out there, so don't worry about it. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.920 It's all good. I got you, guys, and no, I 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.200 did not mute the word Rando for the day. Although 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.360 it is an idea in the future, no doubt about that. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.280 One thing I do love besides the randos is Omaha Steaks.

Bogman, Can we talk about this? 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.080 Steven Strasberg came back to make a start with Steve 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.760 on the il so that did not take very long. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.360 I told everybody, take him off your draft boards. Thoracic 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.360 outlet syndrome is practically a baseball death sentence. I mean 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.280 it really, I mean everybody from High May Garcia to 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.480 Matt Harvey to everybody that's ever had it. Cinderguard, I 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:46.480 can go on and on. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.880 Cinderguard isn't the same guy, but he at least came 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.679 back and is still a major league. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:51.840 Did he have thrustic outlets? 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.120 Indro, I thought he did. Maybe I'm getting mixing him 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.800 up with somebody else, Like somebody a couple of years. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.760 Ago on Fangrafts did a whole like to the guys, 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.880 and it's brutal. It's a who it like Luke Kochever, 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.040 like all these guys that were like, you know, some 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.040 some really good names on this list that once upon 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.280 a time where you know, had expectations that. 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.480 I don't think it's thrastic another guy too, I don't 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.160 think it's thrastic outlet syndrome for Strasbourg. And maybe that 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.760 was the last straw or whatever. But I just think 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.280 that he has some autoimmune thing or something where he 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.600 like he got carpal tunnel. Dude, Like, when when have 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.080 you heard of, you know, even a major league pitcher. 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.400 You know, I know Woodruff has Reynod syndrome or whatever, 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.400 you know. But and I hadn't heard about that until 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:41.280 three days ago. But you know, Steven Strasburg, just I 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.840 just the Welsh wells now has to move to Texas. 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.240 We made a bet twelve starts for this season or 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.040 I moved back to Arizona or Welsh moves to Texas. 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.440 So we're gonna get Texas Welsh pretty soon here, I think. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.280 So, you know, I I was on the under on 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:56.000 that one as well. 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.840 I mean, one start, one start in his ass goes 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.200 right back to the il. I mean, he sucks. There's 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.040 no reason to ross. 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:05.720 I mean, I don't want to say he sucks. I 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.720 want to say it sucks because you know, nah, every 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:14.000 everyone else can work through Yeah, everyone else works through injuries. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.960 Why is he the only guy that can't stay healthy ever? 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:18.880 He can't A He's not the only guy. 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.200 It's just you know, okay, he's the best guy that 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:23.480 can't stay healthy ever. 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.520 Well, I think that's the problem. It's like we have. 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.560 I think it's the frustration of the talent and the 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.760 inability to stay healthy. And I think and if that's 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.720 the case, you know, I mean, you're not gonna give 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.000 back the money. But my god, they've got what four 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.680 years left this contract. 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.520 Twenty six and his average annual values thirty five million 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.120 bus thirty five million, And they're trying to trade there. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.800 They're trying to sell this organization. I think, you know, 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.400 it's at least been rumbled talked about a little bit. 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.480 So and that's why they're like debating on what to 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.160 do with Soto, Like, do you want to give him 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.400 four hundred million dollars so when you sell your team, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.960 whoever comes in is going to be invested into this 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.800 guy for the foreseeable future. Or do you want to 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.160 let him go and you know, sell this franchise with 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.720 no strings attached, so whoever comes in can rebuild it 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:14.200 however they want. So it's a big question. And you know, 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.400 a big part of this sale is going to be, well, 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.320 you're on the hook for Steven Strasburg. You're feeding him 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.040 and his family thirty five million bucks a year until 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.440 twenty twenty six because him and librarians get carpal tunnel 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.960 syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome. I'm just I'm sick of 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:31.680 Steven Strasburg. I can't do it anymore. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.960 I know, I know, and I understand the pressure too. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.400 The organization had a moment a couple of years ago. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:37.920 They were at the. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.080 Highest of the highs. You win the World Series. Aaron 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.720 Done's a free agent, Strasburg's a free agent. I always 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.400 say invest in the position player. I would have been 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.600 wrong because ren Doan has been a nightmare two But 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.880 you knew both these guys had injury issues. I mean, 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.800 the smart play would have been pocket all the money. 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.960 They didn't pocket all the money, unfortunately. They I mean, 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.200 if you're gonna as I, spend the money and they 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.360 still yeah, Sures. She should have given sures Are an 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.520 extension and put all the money in Juan Soto because 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.640 if you put a hunt, if you did what the 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.960 Tampa Rays did with Wander Franco, with Juan Soto, yeah, 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.840 let me tell you, you would have locked him up for 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.440 probably two hundred million and he'd be there for the 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.080 next ten years, and that that would have been the play. Unfortunately, 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.560 but that that ship has sailed. Another ship that's actually 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.879 going quite well as Sandy al Contra. Last seven starts 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.399 for al Contra have been unbelievable. I mean he has 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:28.400 gone at least seven innings and all of them. He's 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:33.120 given up one earned in three three starts with zero 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.399 earned runs, one with two earned runs. He struck out 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:36.919 at least five guys, and all of them he's got 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.440 a point eight era. I've made two investments. I told 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.480 you I a couple of weeks ago. I didn't like 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.280 how things are going with the Walker Buller. It pulled 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.240 out any money on that, put it all into Sandy 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.840 al Contra, and doubled down on Muscrove, where I already 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.920 had a ten to one going into I think I 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.360 was twenty to one going into the season or something absurd, 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.720 and then reinvested at ten to one. I think that's 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.520 like six and a half now. All Contra's been incredible. 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.280 I guess the thing is Bobs. We all know, as 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.040 great of a competitor as he is, there's a good chance, 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.399 you know that that era is going to correct itself. 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.800 There's gonna be a ballp star here or there. What's 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.480 his value though in Dynasty because it's not a great team. 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.879 Al Contra has been magnificent this year. He's always been 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.600 a guy that's that we've been waiting to emerge as 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.200 this type of pitcher, and he has finally in terms 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.480 of dynasty, do you have him as a top five guy, 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.120 top ten guy, Like where would you rank him dynasty? 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.120
