Speaker 1: Strasbourg returns, Strasburg leaves. Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody
Speaker 1: till the leading off Here on Fantasy Bros. Brought to
Speaker 1: you by bet MGM, the King of Sports. Folks. It's
Speaker 1: me Joey p Joe Pie's a Pia taking you through
Speaker 1: the world of Major League Baseball, the recap of last night,
Speaker 1: the look ahead to today's games, and of course to
Speaker 1: do it with me, my good palace got Bogwin Bogs
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show. I know it's been about
Speaker 1: a week since we've had you on, but there's been
Speaker 1: a little change around these parts in terms of that
Speaker 1: home run board. I just want you to know there's
Speaker 1: a new sheriff in town. Well no, I'm not the
Speaker 1: new sheriff yet, but I'm in the discussion for Deputy.
Speaker 1: I'm on the board. Another dinger from Byron Buxton last
Speaker 1: night for me, your boy the Welsh wouldn't come with me,
Speaker 1: So let that be a warning to you. Don't cross
Speaker 1: me on the show today.
Speaker 2: Box I see you know, just so everyone knows, Joe
Speaker 2: was bragging about this before the show started. He had
Speaker 2: to show me the board and show me that he
Speaker 2: was physically on it. Before the show started, like, you know,
Speaker 2: just ay, welcome back. Look at this. Look I'm on
Speaker 2: this board now, so I was on the board.
Speaker 1: Also, what what I don't even know what board you're
Speaker 1: talking to. You mean this board? I'm sorry, this board
Speaker 1: right here? Is this the board?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Good times, good times. More on that later, but let's
Speaker 1: get to the base.
Speaker 2: No one braggs about sixth place like a Mets fan.
Speaker 1: So oh that's a good one. That was nice, well done.
Speaker 1: You got the you got the slow clap on that one.
Speaker 2: I was walking up early today, so I'm not in
Speaker 2: the greatest mood.
Speaker 1: So I hope it wasn't my text about us being
Speaker 1: up in that.
Speaker 2: Spot or not. No kidding me. My phone is my
Speaker 2: phone is silent. It's never going to be my phone.
Speaker 1: That's what I figured. So hope. I assume it's some
Speaker 1: dead animal out there in Texas. That's just like at
Speaker 1: your doorstep, just going making weird dead animal sound. I
Speaker 1: imagine that's a bunny in my pool this morning. True story.
Speaker 1: I had to save a baby bunny out of my pool.
Speaker 1: So I'm something of a hero. So I just want
Speaker 1: you to know in a.
Speaker 2: Hero can save us. His name is Joey.
Speaker 1: Pe Yeah, baby, all right, let's go. Let's get out
Speaker 1: of here. I want to see all the pups of
Speaker 1: the crackajacks of the comments after this one. Let's go,
Speaker 1: all right, So let's get after it, and let's start
Speaker 1: here with Byron Buxton hitting the home run for the
Speaker 1: Twins as they topped the Mariners. Drury hit a three
Speaker 1: run homer to help the Reds over the Diamondbacks. Juan
Speaker 1: Soto pulled is a precaution after hurting his knees, so
Speaker 1: that's something to keep an eye on. Darvish continues to
Speaker 1: be great against his old team, the Cubs. Eight innings
Speaker 1: for him azz the Albi's, though, this is the this
Speaker 1: is the bad part right here. This is the issue
Speaker 1: because Albe's right now gonna be out with the fractured
Speaker 1: foot for a while. It's weird because it happened and
Speaker 1: he fell down and everyone's like, what's going on and
Speaker 1: he kind of walked off, But the fractured foot, this
Speaker 1: is a problem. Let me let me tell you. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on here.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that this happened before the at bat, and
Speaker 2: you know, it just it probably just finally buckled him
Speaker 2: when he tried to push off of it. So not
Speaker 2: a great scenario. I believe the said Orlando Arcia will
Speaker 2: be taking over for him, so you know, I guess,
Speaker 2: I guess that's our guy for a little bit. Dude's
Speaker 2: already got eight homers, so not not a terrible replacement,
Speaker 2: but not Albi's. Alby's hasn't been playing up to snuff
Speaker 2: this year anyway, So I'm wondering if I'm just wondering
Speaker 2: if something, if this has been lingering for a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it might be like it's just the
Speaker 1: panic mode, and I got questions already. People this morning
Speaker 1: were saying, you know, I've been off for this guy,
Speaker 1: like you know, for for one of my stud players,
Speaker 1: because I lost Albi's. Like, no, no, you don't. You don't.
Speaker 1: You don't continue to lose or trade off or get
Speaker 1: rid of grape. You don't trade Jordan Alvarez to go
Speaker 1: get Owen Miller. You don't do that kind of trade.
Speaker 1: That's not the kind of trade you make. No, it's
Speaker 1: true because people panic, like, well, I got all these
Speaker 1: good players are gonna go make this. No, you don't
Speaker 1: do that. You just play the way wire you hope
Speaker 1: for the best and maybe if you can make a
Speaker 1: smart trade that makes sense for both parties. You do that,
Speaker 1: but don't start deteriorating your strength of your roster in
Speaker 1: order to just go ahead. And you know, and somehow,
Speaker 1: at some point, you know, think that that's going to
Speaker 1: lead you in the right path. You lost the player,
Speaker 1: it sucks, You're don't have to deal with it. But
Speaker 1: by continuing to disintegrate the rest of the good parts
Speaker 1: in your roster, that's that's not the way out of
Speaker 1: this problem. Everybody brave. Oh yeah, I got a rotation
Speaker 1: right now. Freddy Peralta, I L Joe Ryan just came
Speaker 1: back to the Ile de gram, I L Chures or
Speaker 1: I L. I mean they're all on the I L
Speaker 1: I have the best roster. Yeah, yeah, it's it's pretty good. Also,
Speaker 1: the Braves twelve straight wins. Uh so they are on
Speaker 1: fire right now.
Speaker 2: Are on fire. Shoe they I mean this this squad,
Speaker 2: the Phillies after firing Gati have been great. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, uh so the East East a little closer there,
Speaker 2: a little tighter Joey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly is, certainly is there. And obviously when
Speaker 1: we're looking at the Braves. I mean, they're odds to
Speaker 1: make the playoffs right now. I gotta check that out
Speaker 1: and what that is, because I still think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be tough for them to win the division over a
Speaker 1: long period, and the Album's injury is gonna hurt them
Speaker 1: defensively and offensively. Let's make no mistakes about that. Sure,
Speaker 1: but this is you know, when the Mets started losing players,
Speaker 1: I was very vocal about this on the show, and
Speaker 1: I know you were probably in agreement with it also,
Speaker 1: which is this is the time to start looking at
Speaker 1: the Braves. The times start looking at the Braves as
Speaker 1: soon as the Mets had injuries, and the Braves, to
Speaker 1: their credit, have taken complete, you know, ownership of the
Speaker 1: moment right now to make the playoffs. They're at minus
Speaker 1: three sixties, So that's no good to the win total
Speaker 1: over under This one's okay, ninety one and a half.
Speaker 1: The over is minus one ten, the under minus one fourteen.
Speaker 1: I think the over at one and I mean, look,
Speaker 1: they're gonna get Soroka back soon too. They have the
Speaker 1: pieces to make a trade to win the Pennant plus
Speaker 1: seven hundred. That's that's still a tough sell for me.
Speaker 1: But I think the best number on the boarder now
Speaker 1: is that win total bogs. What do you think of
Speaker 1: the ninety one and a half? You go over under
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 2: You know what. I think it's fine to go over
Speaker 2: on that. I just don't know if that pays enough.
Speaker 2: That's not the bet I want to make right now,
Speaker 2: you know, straight because that's basically a straight bet. So
Speaker 2: that's okay. But you know, ninety one games is a
Speaker 2: lot of games, and yes they're on a nice hot
Speaker 2: streak right now, but that's gonna you know, that's gonna
Speaker 2: cool off too along. You know, they'll get better with
Speaker 2: these injuries, but that that stuff's gonna cool off. So
Speaker 2: I would say that I'm not making that bet. There's
Speaker 2: a couple of bets. Welsh and I were going over
Speaker 2: some al MVP bets yesterday, so that's that's where I
Speaker 2: want to bet. I want to bet on Show Hey,
Speaker 2: because you know Judge is going crazy right now.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly the argument. I actually cashed out some
Speaker 1: of my Show Hey shares put them into Judge because
Speaker 1: I'm wait for the Otani number to get bigger so
Speaker 1: they can investigate in Otani and see where that goes.
Speaker 1: That's exactly my plan. I said it on Sunday on
Speaker 1: the on the show on the TV. I said it here.
Speaker 1: I think on Friday a bit a big spiel about
Speaker 1: how to bet MVP and how to approach it. Now
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what. The Cardinals are streaking to
Speaker 1: a Goldschmith just continues to look great. I think he's
Speaker 1: should be considered a front runner right now, even though
Speaker 1: he's not. Also Jake Berger day to day with a
Speaker 1: bruised hand. Jo say a grey scratch from the start
Speaker 1: after the rain delay. So he's going to pitch today.
Speaker 1: Dylan Carlson also speaking of the Cardinals, He's starting to
Speaker 1: look a little bit better, so a little time off
Speaker 1: seems to have done him some good. He had a
Speaker 1: big hit last night and seems to be starting to
Speaker 1: pick things up again. Do you think he's He's probably
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire and a lot of leagues. I
Speaker 1: would imagine I would pick him up if he was
Speaker 1: out there where I'd make a trade if somebody was
Speaker 1: just he's just rotting away on someone's bench.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know, Carlton's one of
Speaker 2: those guys that you know if he gets back. He's
Speaker 2: not a guy that you can't drop, but he's the
Speaker 2: guy that you probably shouldn't drop. So when he when
Speaker 2: he gets dropped, then yeah, you're like, all right, I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna at least keep him on like your watch
Speaker 2: list or whatever. Looks like he is forty two percent
Speaker 2: rostered in Yahoo leagues right now, so he is available
Speaker 2: in more than fifty percent of the league. So I yeah,
Speaker 2: if he's around and you got a struggling player, maybe
Speaker 2: you just stuck Ozzy Albi's on the IL go get
Speaker 2: him for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I mean, I know Dylan Carlson is gonna
Speaker 1: be on the waiver Wire video this week now. Officially
Speaker 1: forty percent, that's kind of ridiculous at this point. Hoskins
Speaker 1: also walks off the fills in the tenth there, so
Speaker 1: that's a tenth win. Actually walks walks them off to
Speaker 1: their tenth win in eleven games. That's what I meant.
Speaker 2: He said, that's the first time that he's had a
Speaker 2: walk off hit before, so yeah, yeah, it's a little
Speaker 2: surprising for a guy with that much power and stuff.
Speaker 2: But you know, he said it was great. He was
Speaker 2: thrilled to get it, so happy for Hoskins. Hoskins will
Speaker 2: come out here in the show too, So it's funny.
Speaker 1: We had a we had a fun little conversation about
Speaker 1: when the a team fire as a manager, that's the
Speaker 1: time to start investing in that team a little bit,
Speaker 1: because there's always that immediate bounce. It doesn't usually last long.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it does. It's happened before you know, I remember here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but like look at the Marlins, dude back in the day,
Speaker 1: when they I forgot who they fired, they brought in
Speaker 1: Jack McKee and then they ended up going to the
Speaker 1: World Series that year. Yeah, yeah, and they ended up
Speaker 1: beating the Yankees. So, I mean, it does happen, but
Speaker 1: usually it's that's the minimal bounce.
Speaker 2: That was that twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: Joe, I think it was three oh two, was the
Speaker 1: Angels of Memory Serves.
Speaker 2: If that's you're right, you're right, right, you're right.
Speaker 1: So was John Lackey, Oh, John Lackey winning World when
Speaker 1: the Welsh was playing, right, Yeah, Welsh was pitching for
Speaker 1: the Angels. That's that's when that one. Oh, let's get
Speaker 1: to some of the let's get to some of the injuries.
Speaker 1: Actually some good dues. Joe, Ryan's gonna be back rejoining
Speaker 1: the rotation today. More on him later to come, because
Speaker 1: I do believe there's opportunity here with him because he
Speaker 1: he has really good in the rehab starts. So I
Speaker 1: don't know how limited quote unquote he's going to be. Necessarily,
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty is gonna be starting Wednesday for the Cardinals
Speaker 1: against the Pirates. So if you have him, you want
Speaker 1: to activate him. Also another big piece. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is like getting a picture in a trade basically for
Speaker 1: the Cardinals right now, this is huge. Jonathan India activated
Speaker 1: from the IL yesday. Matthew Boyd cut his BP session
Speaker 1: short due to a sore elbow, so that's not good
Speaker 1: for him. But Jack Flaherty, this is the This is
Speaker 1: one to talk about Bogs. I mean, he could be
Speaker 1: really huge for this rotation. If you're getting the good
Speaker 1: Jack flarerty. The question is are we getting the good
Speaker 1: Jack Flarerity. We don't know quite yet.
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta imagine we're getting the good one
Speaker 2: because they held him out until the middle of June,
Speaker 2: so you got to imagine that they're not going to
Speaker 2: bring him back unless he looks right. He had I
Speaker 2: believe seventeen rehab starts, so I think he's gonna come
Speaker 2: back and be just fine. So I'm excited to see
Speaker 2: what Flarity's got. You know, my I was telling you
Speaker 2: about my TGFBI team earlier. It's the whole staff. I
Speaker 2: had was my first pick. Then I had Jack Clarity
Speaker 2: late because he's a little banged up. But before that,
Speaker 2: I Chris sailed too, So you know, it's not surprising
Speaker 2: that I believe him in thirteenth place in my TGFPI league.
Speaker 2: But if I start to get some of these guys
Speaker 2: back in the next month, maybe I can make a
Speaker 2: little headway. And no, I'm not gonna win, but maybe
Speaker 2: I cannot, you know, at least be not embarrassing, you know,
Speaker 2: over the middle of the pack would be great. If
Speaker 2: I could get there.
Speaker 1: That would be great. We certainly love that. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: for the Peterson Crackerjacks. We're gonna stream yard issue where
Speaker 1: I can't actually bring your comments on to the screen.
Speaker 1: But now I've got it up on YouTube so I
Speaker 1: can see team Rando out there, so don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: It's all good. I got you, guys, and no, I
Speaker 1: did not mute the word Rando for the day. Although
Speaker 1: it is an idea in the future, no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: One thing I do love besides the randos is Omaha Steaks. Baby,
Speaker 1: Oh Bogman, you're a steak guy. I know you are.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've broken into your steak box yet.

Speaker 1: Olmaha Steaks will make you happy. So go there, use
Speaker 1: that promotional code leading off in the search bar and
Speaker 1: get your grail on. Bogman, Can we talk about this?
Speaker 1: Steven Strasberg came back to make a start with Steve
Speaker 1: on the il so that did not take very long.
Speaker 1: I told everybody, take him off your draft boards. Thoracic
Speaker 1: outlet syndrome is practically a baseball death sentence. I mean
Speaker 1: it really, I mean everybody from High May Garcia to
Speaker 1: Matt Harvey to everybody that's ever had it. Cinderguard, I
Speaker 1: can go on and on.
Speaker 2: Cinderguard isn't the same guy, but he at least came
Speaker 2: back and is still a major league.
Speaker 1: Did he have thrustic outlets?
Speaker 2: Indro, I thought he did. Maybe I'm getting mixing him
Speaker 2: up with somebody else, Like somebody a couple of years.
Speaker 1: Ago on Fangrafts did a whole like to the guys,
Speaker 1: and it's brutal. It's a who it like Luke Kochever,
Speaker 1: like all these guys that were like, you know, some
Speaker 1: some really good names on this list that once upon
Speaker 1: a time where you know, had expectations that.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's thrastic another guy too, I don't
Speaker 2: think it's thrastic outlet syndrome for Strasbourg. And maybe that
Speaker 2: was the last straw or whatever. But I just think
Speaker 2: that he has some autoimmune thing or something where he
Speaker 2: like he got carpal tunnel. Dude, Like, when when have
Speaker 2: you heard of, you know, even a major league pitcher.
Speaker 2: You know, I know Woodruff has Reynod syndrome or whatever,
Speaker 2: you know. But and I hadn't heard about that until
Speaker 2: three days ago. But you know, Steven Strasburg, just I
Speaker 2: just the Welsh wells now has to move to Texas.
Speaker 2: We made a bet twelve starts for this season or
Speaker 2: I moved back to Arizona or Welsh moves to Texas.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna get Texas Welsh pretty soon here, I think.
Speaker 1: So, you know, I I was on the under on
Speaker 1: that one as well.
Speaker 2: I mean, one start, one start in his ass goes
Speaker 2: right back to the il. I mean, he sucks. There's
Speaker 2: no reason to ross.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to say he sucks. I
Speaker 1: want to say it sucks because you know, nah, every
Speaker 1: everyone else can work through Yeah, everyone else works through injuries.
Speaker 2: Why is he the only guy that can't stay healthy ever?
Speaker 1: He can't A He's not the only guy.
Speaker 2: It's just you know, okay, he's the best guy that
Speaker 2: can't stay healthy ever.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's the problem. It's like we have.
Speaker 1: I think it's the frustration of the talent and the
Speaker 1: inability to stay healthy. And I think and if that's
Speaker 1: the case, you know, I mean, you're not gonna give
Speaker 1: back the money. But my god, they've got what four
Speaker 1: years left this contract.
Speaker 2: Twenty six and his average annual values thirty five million
Speaker 2: bus thirty five million, And they're trying to trade there.
Speaker 2: They're trying to sell this organization. I think, you know,
Speaker 2: it's at least been rumbled talked about a little bit.
Speaker 2: So and that's why they're like debating on what to
Speaker 2: do with Soto, Like, do you want to give him
Speaker 2: four hundred million dollars so when you sell your team,
Speaker 2: whoever comes in is going to be invested into this
Speaker 2: guy for the foreseeable future. Or do you want to
Speaker 2: let him go and you know, sell this franchise with
Speaker 2: no strings attached, so whoever comes in can rebuild it
Speaker 2: however they want. So it's a big question. And you know,
Speaker 2: a big part of this sale is going to be, well,
Speaker 2: you're on the hook for Steven Strasburg. You're feeding him
Speaker 2: and his family thirty five million bucks a year until
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six because him and librarians get carpal tunnel
Speaker 2: syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome. I'm just I'm sick of
Speaker 2: Steven Strasburg. I can't do it anymore.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, and I understand the pressure too.
Speaker 1: The organization had a moment a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: They were at the.
Speaker 1: Highest of the highs. You win the World Series. Aaron
Speaker 1: Done's a free agent, Strasburg's a free agent. I always
Speaker 1: say invest in the position player. I would have been
Speaker 1: wrong because ren Doan has been a nightmare two But
Speaker 1: you knew both these guys had injury issues. I mean,
Speaker 1: the smart play would have been pocket all the money.
Speaker 1: They didn't pocket all the money, unfortunately. They I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna as I, spend the money and they
Speaker 1: still yeah, Sures. She should have given sures Are an
Speaker 1: extension and put all the money in Juan Soto because
Speaker 1: if you put a hunt, if you did what the
Speaker 1: Tampa Rays did with Wander Franco, with Juan Soto, yeah,
Speaker 1: let me tell you, you would have locked him up for
Speaker 1: probably two hundred million and he'd be there for the
Speaker 1: next ten years, and that that would have been the play. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: but that that ship has sailed. Another ship that's actually
Speaker 1: going quite well as Sandy al Contra. Last seven starts
Speaker 1: for al Contra have been unbelievable. I mean he has
Speaker 1: gone at least seven innings and all of them. He's
Speaker 1: given up one earned in three three starts with zero
Speaker 1: earned runs, one with two earned runs. He struck out
Speaker 1: at least five guys, and all of them he's got
Speaker 1: a point eight era. I've made two investments. I told
Speaker 1: you I a couple of weeks ago. I didn't like
Speaker 1: how things are going with the Walker Buller. It pulled
Speaker 1: out any money on that, put it all into Sandy
Speaker 1: al Contra, and doubled down on Muscrove, where I already
Speaker 1: had a ten to one going into I think I
Speaker 1: was twenty to one going into the season or something absurd,
Speaker 1: and then reinvested at ten to one. I think that's
Speaker 1: like six and a half now. All Contra's been incredible.
Speaker 1: I guess the thing is Bobs. We all know, as
Speaker 1: great of a competitor as he is, there's a good chance,
Speaker 1: you know that that era is going to correct itself.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a ballp star here or there. What's
Speaker 1: his value though in Dynasty because it's not a great team.
Speaker 1: Al Contra has been magnificent this year. He's always been
Speaker 1: a guy that's that we've been waiting to emerge as
Speaker 1: this type of pitcher, and he has finally in terms
Speaker 1: of dynasty, do you have him as a top five guy,
Speaker 1: top ten guy, Like where would you rank him dynasty?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's got to be up there for sure,
Speaker 2: Like you said, very young. We don't even know he's
Speaker 2: twenty six. Is this him peeking right now? Because if
Speaker 2: it is, he's great. I mean, obviously the era is
Speaker 2: under two, the whip is under one. He's been incredible.
Speaker 2: He's got six wins you know for the Marlins right now.
Speaker 2: So you know, I just can't wait to see what
Speaker 2: he gets traded for because the Marlins never pay anyone ever,
Speaker 2: and you know he's gonna get He's going to get
Speaker 2: a big, gigantic callback, and where does he go, you know,
Speaker 2: where where is he going to end up? So because
Speaker 2: he's he a lot, like you know, Strasbourg locked up
Speaker 2: through twenty twenty six, but his average anal value eleven
Speaker 2: point two mil. So you know, much better deal for
Speaker 2: the Marlins here of course. But yeah, he's got to
Speaker 2: be up there. I just last night he was so
Speaker 2: furious when they yanked him because the reliever gave it
Speaker 2: up on one pitch, the lead and then obviously Hoskins
Speaker 2: walked it off. So it was just funny to see
Speaker 2: him losing his mind.
Speaker 1: But he's bad. He's mad coming out of that game.
Speaker 1: I saw him hitting water balls and stuff all right.
Speaker 1: This day in baseball history in nineteen thirty three, when
Speaker 1: I was just a boy, Luke Gregg's consecutive game streak
Speaker 1: survived even though he and his manager got thrown out
Speaker 1: of the game. So kind of interesting scenario there. I mean,
Speaker 1: imagine if he had, you know, got thrown out of
Speaker 1: the game. McCarthy got suspended for three games. Greg did
Speaker 1: not get the suspension. If he ha gotten suspended, it
Speaker 1: would have stopped at twelve forty nine. That's a very
Speaker 1: interesting little bit of trivia. Something I didn't know that
Speaker 1: came around there. I mean, it must have been really
Speaker 1: some of the I mean, could you imagine lou Garrek
Speaker 1: seems like the nicest like all the such a good guy,
Speaker 1: so like all these things must have been a really
Speaker 1: bad call for lou Garreck to get there.
Speaker 2: I bet Angel Hernandez was behind the plate. Angel That's
Speaker 2: probably what it was, since he's been around for so long.
Speaker 2: He's suing baseball again. By the way, I don't know
Speaker 2: if you saw that, but probably probably Angel Hernandez, you know,
Speaker 2: the first or whatever was behind the dish that day,
Speaker 2: or some type of Angel Hernandez equivalent. So I'm guessing
Speaker 2: if he got tossed, I'm guessing it's probably balls and
Speaker 2: strikes and probably some umpire not paying attention at all.
Speaker 1: So yeah, unbelievable. All right, all right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the trivia question for the day. We talked about Byron
Speaker 1: Buckson early in the show, getting me continuously on that
Speaker 1: home run board now up to nineteen, But which two
Speaker 1: players share the single season record for home runs by
Speaker 1: a Twins center fielder? Can you name them? Do you
Speaker 1: think they're the obvious ones? Are they the not so
Speaker 1: obvious ones? You might be surprised? So if you know
Speaker 1: the answer, drop it in the chat. I could see
Speaker 1: the chat. I'm sorry, I can't bring up your answers today.
Speaker 1: We fix it going forward, so don't worry. So, which
Speaker 1: two Twins center fielders have the single season record? Bogs?
Speaker 1: They have the same total. You want to take a guest,
Speaker 1: Tory Hunter one of them? Tory Hunter is indeed one
Speaker 1: of them, Yes, and Andrew, you are correct, so obvious
Speaker 1: Tory Hunter. Perhaps the other one's obvious? Perhaps it's not.
Speaker 1: We shall see. Let's go to the stat heroes. We'll
Speaker 1: give some people some time to think about it. Alec
Speaker 1: Manoa good once again. Seven CA's for him, six score
Speaker 1: listenings you Darvish, We mentioned him at the top of
Speaker 1: the show. Seven k's one earned eight innings. Pitch Justin
Speaker 1: Steele was pretty good. Only struck out three guys, but
Speaker 1: he did go seven innings with one earned run. Aaron Nola,
Speaker 1: on the other side of that game, continues to be
Speaker 1: outstanding for the Phillies two earned runs, seven innings, So
Speaker 1: Aaron Nol's FONDI found the consistency and hit or wise.
Speaker 1: I see jose brad you on this list. Two dingers
Speaker 1: from a bray you.
Speaker 2: Last night outside to play the Tigers every day. If
Speaker 2: he played the Tigers every day, he'd beat the MVP.
Speaker 2: So well.
Speaker 1: Tony Laruss is next. I'm just telling you that Paul
Speaker 1: go Schmid three four with a dinger, Dylan Carlson two
Speaker 1: to four with a homer, Vladdie three for five with
Speaker 1: a home run, Lane Thomas at a home run. He
Speaker 1: was two for four. Dansby Swanson continues to swing a
Speaker 1: hot at two for five with a homer. Adam Duval also,
Speaker 1: I think he's up to five homers in the last
Speaker 1: ten days or something like that. One home run for him.
Speaker 1: He was one for two. Marcello Zuna hit home run.
Speaker 1: Michael Chavas hit a home run. Michael Chavas was our
Speaker 1: lineup builder of memory serves yesterday. I hope you had
Speaker 1: him in those lineups. And Brendan Donovan three for four
Speaker 1: as well. Stad Zero's Merle. Finally a bad start for Merle.
Speaker 1: Merril Kelly five earned run, six innings, Kyle Bradish gave
Speaker 1: up five in five, and Zach Thompson did the same.
Speaker 2: We knew Merle. We knew Merle was gonna get flapped
Speaker 2: eventually here and you know it was Drury was coming
Speaker 2: up with two on and there was a Mound visit
Speaker 2: right before this, and uh, and I have Drury all
Speaker 2: over the place, So I'm like, but I also have Meryl.
Speaker 2: Meryl is like my last pick in every league that
Speaker 2: I did. Merle, my boy Merle. So I uh, I
Speaker 2: was like, come on, just don't, just don't. And then
Speaker 2: as I saw it going over the wall, It's like, yep,
Speaker 2: there got former diamondback Brandon Drury coming back to hit
Speaker 2: a three run homer against this again he did it
Speaker 2: and since he too, so I'm sick of the Reds.
Speaker 2: I've had enough of the Reds.
Speaker 1: Before we get to the loser hitters. The correct answer,
Speaker 1: besides story Hunter is Kirby Pucket. Yes, Kirby Pucket thirty
Speaker 1: one home runs, Good old Kirby with thirty one back
Speaker 1: in the day, fun player to watch.
Speaker 2: Quick quick story, Joey. I definitely delivered pizza to Kirby Pucket,
Speaker 2: like three days before he passed. He was living.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, that wasn't the reason why it happened.
Speaker 2: The pizza wasn't back deep dish meat like.
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, you're a suspect, Like.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, I'm a suspect. What was the line in
Speaker 2: the office. Yeah yeah, I made him eat fats as
Speaker 2: sugars for fifty years and not exercise. It's my fault.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh. Kirby Kirby was When I was a kid man,
Speaker 1: I loved Kurby Pucket. He was just funny to watch guys.
Speaker 2: Just like my first like real deep memory of a
Speaker 2: huge moment was Kirby Pucket hitting that walk off in
Speaker 2: the World Series, Like oh yeah, unbelievable, dude, I.
Speaker 1: Love everyone for sure, all right. Uh, some of the
Speaker 1: loser hitters Aesus Agular oh for four with three K,
Speaker 1: Spencer Torklsen oh for four three ks. Things have not
Speaker 1: gone well. CBS roster forcentags is sixty one, Yahoo at thirty,
Speaker 1: ESPN fifty slashing one eighty one, two eighty one, two
Speaker 1: ninety two for fifty five games. Is this the time
Speaker 1: to buy Torklesin? Is this the time to drop Torklesin?
Speaker 1: What do you do with torkal Sin? Because Torkalsen ain't
Speaker 1: doing nothing?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he gotta drop him. You know,
Speaker 2: maybe he could come back. It seems like they're just
Speaker 2: letting him work through this. Otherwise he would have been
Speaker 2: sent down earlier. But how much longer can you let
Speaker 2: this go before you send him down to work it out?
Speaker 2: Like I just feel like it's gonna come up pretty
Speaker 2: quick here, So uh yeah, I think you at least
Speaker 2: have to bench him. Maybe you really don't want to
Speaker 2: let him go because, like we said that, it seems
Speaker 2: to be that they're letting him work through this.
Speaker 1: But well, well look at the twins. I mean they
Speaker 1: sent Keer Off down. He's raking right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: kere Off is, yeah, crushing life. I mean, why not
Speaker 1: just send Toorklesen down for two weeks. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: a perfect time to do it.
Speaker 2: You hit one in April, hit two nineteen last month,
Speaker 2: and this month eight six he has. He's three for
Speaker 2: thirty five this month with a double and two singles.
Speaker 2: Like you know, he's doing nothing for you. Send him down,
Speaker 2: let me work it out, and then bring him back up.
Speaker 2: You know, there's plenty of time. I don't understand any
Speaker 2: of the time. This is this is uh. I mean
Speaker 2: the Tigers are god awful right now. They're like last
Speaker 2: in the league in runs by a wide margin. So
Speaker 2: you gotta do some thing you can't let I mean,
Speaker 2: I know you want you don't want makee playing every day.
Speaker 2: I get that because he's one hundred. But put in
Speaker 2: anybody else.
Speaker 1: You know, you could call off somebody else from the
Speaker 1: triple A squad to you know, yeah, play a little
Speaker 1: first base. That's not run thing. But I think they
Speaker 1: should send him down. And when the minute they send
Speaker 1: him down, that's when you attack, just completely attack all
Speaker 1: the torcals and shares across the board. Because he's gonna
Speaker 1: be a good player. I mean, this is just the
Speaker 1: normal things, like you know, it's funny. Everybody's got I
Speaker 1: think a little bit of that Jared kellnick itis where
Speaker 1: I would a player struggles. Now everyone's like, oh no,
Speaker 1: oh no, he's never gonna be good. It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: Bobby Witz turned things around, Julio had a terrible April.
Speaker 1: He turned things around. You gotta give these guys time.
Speaker 1: Carol Off is gonna come back, and Rake, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: So you just got to relax with these things. You
Speaker 1: can't overdo it. Also relaxing is me at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the home run board here at nineteen tied with
Speaker 1: my good friends Oxbury Buck. All I do is win
Speaker 1: Adele Gadillo, James James James and Larry Sees a twenty
Speaker 1: high Cubby twenty sixty is at twenty one, Niking of
Speaker 1: the North at twenty one, and then title Chaser and
Speaker 1: Deblom still at the very top of this board with
Speaker 1: twenty three home runs.
Speaker 2: So not a lot of changes to the board, you know,
Speaker 2: because I pop in once a week and see the board.
Speaker 2: You and Oxbury are the guys I think I haven't seen.
Speaker 2: Everybody else has been cruising right along there.
Speaker 1: So me and the Ox run a run, run right,
Speaker 1: And I hope you're betting these home run props too,
Speaker 1: because look, if somebody I don't care who it is,
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's me, if it's boggling, even
Speaker 1: if it's Mayor, I don't even care, or one of
Speaker 1: the randos who's hot, put money in them. Go ride
Speaker 1: the wave, Go bet a home run prop. Have some
Speaker 1: fun with that, and when you do, make sure you
Speaker 1: do it over at bet MGM, the King of sports Books.
Speaker 1: That's right, bet MGM right now. Bet ten dollars win
Speaker 1: two hundred at the King of Sportsbooks. All you gotta
Speaker 1: do is download the BETMGM app or go to betmgm
Speaker 1: dot com, put in that promo code to leading off
Speaker 1: one word leading off BETMGM ten bucks to win two
Speaker 1: hundred today. Some of the props that I saw on
Speaker 1: betting pros that I liked, Mike Trout one and a
Speaker 1: half the juice is one oh five for total bases Vladdie,
Speaker 1: same deal, one oh five for the one and a
Speaker 1: half over on DK and then Shane Bieber is only
Speaker 1: at six and a half. K's against Colorado. I know
Speaker 1: it's against Colorado, so I guess that's why you get
Speaker 1: a lower number. But at plus one twenty on the over,
Speaker 1: I would take the over on that, So Bobs, that's
Speaker 1: where I'm looking.
Speaker 2: I like Dave Dunning strikeout totally. It's three and a half.
Speaker 1: What's Dame Dunnings.
Speaker 2: It's three and a half. And the last time that
Speaker 2: he the last start out he only had one, but
Speaker 2: every start since April twentieth before that he's had at
Speaker 2: least five. So I'm easily going with Dunning today.
Speaker 1: So I am fading Garrett Cole, who has a one
Speaker 1: in six record and a four to twenty one ERA
Speaker 1: against the Rays for his career. He's expensive on a
Speaker 1: night where you have so many options, I'm fading him
Speaker 1: across the board. Just just fade away. Dylan Cees on
Speaker 1: DK is cheap at eight eight. Nick Pivetta, who's been
Speaker 1: streaking at eight to nine, might be even better him
Speaker 1: Micholas at eight point four eight point nine. That might
Speaker 1: be your best return on investment in tournaments tonight. You
Speaker 1: can pretty much go get whatever you want, and if
Speaker 1: you want to go down a little bit further, Tyler
Speaker 1: Molly's been really good too. At seven point five. You
Speaker 1: can cheap out on pitching in cash tonight. It's hard
Speaker 1: not to like Gonsolin at ten. At nine to five,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. But Joe Ryan, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: at eight point seven, should be in play in tournaments
Speaker 1: tonight because I don't think he's going to be that limited,
Speaker 1: and I think the roster percentage is going to be low.
Speaker 1: So if the Twinkies play well, so you've got you know,
Speaker 1: Bieburn Colorado, which is eh, not something great. I like Pavetta,
Speaker 1: I like Micholas, I like Gonsolin, I like Joe Ryan.
Speaker 1: That's where I'm looking now. In the single pitcher site
Speaker 1: tonight over on FanDuel, same thing. You can go with
Speaker 1: Dylan C's at ninety six, Pavett at nine three, that's fine,
Speaker 1: Tyler Molly's just eight point six, Gonsolin's nine to five,
Speaker 1: and Joe Ryan in tournaments nine point three. I would
Speaker 1: do the multi entry, have one Joe Ryan lineup, have
Speaker 1: one Gonsolin, and then maybe pivot off to somebody else
Speaker 1: like Pavetta, who might be a little bit lower roster,
Speaker 1: because they're all in that same nine and a half
Speaker 1: ish price range. So it's real easy to just make
Speaker 1: your lineup and then just give yourself a little two
Speaker 1: hundred dollars three hundred dollars cushion and then you could
Speaker 1: just mix in and out the pictures. No big deal.
Speaker 1: So BVP, let's get to the BVP numbers and then
Speaker 1: we'll talk game. Stax bos what you got.
Speaker 2: Well, look, Joey Vado against the Silent Assassin Zach Davies.
Speaker 2: You like that nickname, by the way, the Silent Assassin fila.
Speaker 1: Why is he the silent assassin.
Speaker 2: Because he ghosted his wife? Did you not see all that?
Speaker 2: You see that story?
Speaker 1: I don't follow Zach Davies's personal interests on so come on.
Speaker 1: He ghosted his own wife, ghasted his wife? Yeah, yep,
Speaker 1: ex wife.
Speaker 2: Now he didn't talk to her all, just took his
Speaker 2: stuff and left, left his dogs, left her like everything there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so silent assassin because he is a jerk face.
Speaker 2: Thirteen for thirty five for Joey Vato against him with
Speaker 2: two bombs two doubles, so pretty good track record there.
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman is ten for twenty three with a homer,
Speaker 2: a triple and three doubles against Cindergard Hill Castro ten
Speaker 2: for twenty three with a bomb in two doubles against
Speaker 2: Dylan Cees, Yandi Diaz against Garrett Cole, who you are
Speaker 2: fading ten for thirty three with a bomb and a
Speaker 2: double Hayesus Aguilar seven for fifteen against Zach Eflin, Miles
Speaker 2: Brian Reynolds seven for twenty against Miles Micliss. So that
Speaker 2: looks like about where we're at for the PVB.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people in the chat asking
Speaker 1: me too, what about Manai against the Cubs because they
Speaker 1: keep losing every game. It's not that I don't like
Speaker 1: Sean and I I do. I just think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be super chalky, and I always hate investing in something
Speaker 1: where a team's lost like five in a row, six
Speaker 1: in a row, ten row, Like you just know it's
Speaker 1: gonna be that's the one you invest in. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be wrong because it's just baseball is eventually gonna turn
Speaker 1: the other way. So I'm a little about it. I
Speaker 1: would stay away from it, but there's certainly every reason
Speaker 1: to invest in it tonight. It makes sense. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt about that stacks for tonight. I like the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: the Astros, the Boston Red Sox, and the Blue ja
Speaker 1: He's trying to get those guys in your lineup. Also,
Speaker 1: you know, guys are cheap like Dylan Carlson's cheap right now,
Speaker 1: he's swinging a good bat. Go for it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go tonight for my home run call with Matt Olsen
Speaker 1: of the Braves. Let's go Matti.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I called him. I got him out of his cold
Speaker 1: streak a couple of weeks ago, so he owes me
Speaker 1: one here. That's how I figure it. So matt Olsen
Speaker 1: tonight against Gray, I think that's a that's a good look.
Speaker 1: He's given up fourteen on runs in the year. That's
Speaker 1: where I'm going. How about you, bogs, We're you gonna
Speaker 1: go with a home run calls.
Speaker 2: I go with my guy Reeves Hoskins, and I saw,
Speaker 2: you know, I went and I looked and I picked Hoskins,
Speaker 2: and I saw Mayor has him also, and I went,
Speaker 2: you know what, we're gonna be Eskimo Bros. Today. So
Speaker 2: we're both gonna have Hoskins. So let's go Hoskins.
Speaker 1: I can't bring this up on the on the screen,
Speaker 1: but there is a question here specifically for you, Scott Bogman.
Speaker 1: Who do you hate more?
Speaker 2: Is Zach Davies or Mark Mullanson. I guess, oh, definitely
Speaker 2: Mark Mullanson. I mean Zach Davis didon' goest me or
Speaker 2: the team Mark Mark mullanson pitching is terrible, So definitely
Speaker 2: Mark Llanson one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: This is true. This is true, all right. So I
Speaker 1: saw the Team Rando people who had the Team Rando
Speaker 1: hashtag in their name today after yesterday's show, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate you. It's hilarious. I love you guys, seriously, that
Speaker 1: is just awesome. So I hope it's there tomorrow so
Speaker 1: we can see them all on the screen again. I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened, but that's okay. We'll fix the
Speaker 1: problem for tomorrow. Thanks for joining us and hanging out.
Speaker 1: Go get your steaks or with Amaha Steaks. Use that
Speaker 1: leading off code in the search bar to do it.
Speaker 1: Don't forget. Treat yourself too for Father's Day. My goodness,
Speaker 1: preach you know. It saves you a trip to the store.
Speaker 1: You go, you just order the meat and it comes
Speaker 1: to your house. What's better than that? I mean, if
Speaker 1: somebody could cook it for you maybe, but I like
Speaker 1: the grilling process. Actually have my daughter hanging out my
Speaker 1: youngest last on the Memorial Day weekend when we were
Speaker 1: grilling the baked rap Fulay's actually and a few other
Speaker 1: choice items on the grill, just hanging out there, me
Speaker 1: and her. She wanted to go outside with me while
Speaker 1: I was grilling. Everybody else stayed outside. It's a beautiful moment, Omaha,
Speaker 1: steaks making beautiful moments since I don't know however long
Speaker 1: they've been around. That'll do it for us. But the
Speaker 1: story of the game goes on on for Bogman, I'm
Speaker 1: Joey P. We'll see you later, kids, Landows
