Speaker 1: new opening. I was not expecting that Chris, Chris, you
Speaker 1: can put the bed down now, all the way down,
Speaker 1: get rid of it. Still going, please please stop it,
Speaker 1: thank you, Floria continue. I was just waiting to do
Speaker 1: do doo. But I like you guys. Yeah, it definitely
Speaker 1: makes me feel like I should be going out and
Speaker 1: you know, playing a game of basketball or you you know,
Speaker 1: as you lost your picture, it's gone. I'm in a
Speaker 1: different room. Uh, you have two rooms that I do
Speaker 1: it from. Okay, you you didn't get you don't get
Speaker 1: the artwork for this room yet. No, all right, put
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff off. I can tell, man, how
Speaker 1: are you? You know? You're you look good? You look healthy?
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah. It was in the last Friday when
Speaker 1: I wasn't on here, I went out jet skiing in
Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexico and it's so much fun. It's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things I've ever done. But I
Speaker 1: got really really sunburned. So luckily my face isn't peeling
Speaker 1: like my arms and backs are just peeling like crazy
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, you gonna put some Deno show on
Speaker 1: for sure. Did you go visit Mama and Papa Florio?
Speaker 1: Is that where you were at? Yeah? Yeah, then they're good.
Speaker 1: They're good. I got to see them. I got to
Speaker 1: see my dog for the first time and over a year.
Speaker 1: That was really fun. Do you remember, yes, Oh, the
Speaker 1: whole time I was there, she just she did not
Speaker 1: leave my side. So that was that makes you feel good.
Speaker 1: I get to see my grandparents for the first time
Speaker 1: in a while, so it was it was a cool chip,
Speaker 1: very good, very very very nice. So on the program today, Floria,
Speaker 1: you should be taking our bets because Frank and I
Speaker 1: super hot. Admittedly, Greg, you a little hotter than It's okay,
Speaker 1: probably the only time I'll ever say that, thank you
Speaker 1: and thank you. Yeah, I'm doing well right now. I
Speaker 1: picked some I'm really ing. Damn man, I am. I
Speaker 1: kind of want to buy it on Marco gonzazz that
Speaker 1: I do, which is nuts, but I kind of like it.
Speaker 1: That sounds like the under for the Orioles and the
Speaker 1: Rangers all over. Let's not do that. We'll get the
Speaker 1: best bets forever. Coming up a little bit later on,
Speaker 1: but we want to get into the waiver wire for
Speaker 1: the coming week with our guy Michael Florio, and I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the twelve team leagues and again, not a
Speaker 1: huge week for waivers. A lot of the names or
Speaker 1: names that we've talked about over the past several weeks.
Speaker 1: Nobody you're gonna um blow your budget on. No Kyle
Speaker 1: Tucker here, um, no door, Don Alvarez, none of these
Speaker 1: big time prospects coming up. Florio, who's the biggest name
Speaker 1: that you're spending the money on this weekend. See, this
Speaker 1: is one of those weeks where I think a lot
Speaker 1: of it is team base. Like, like you said, there's
Speaker 1: no most ad you have to go out and blow
Speaker 1: your fab on this guy. So it comes down to
Speaker 1: what is it that you need, Like, if you're in
Speaker 1: need of power right now, then yeah, pick up j Bruce.
Speaker 1: He's red hot for the Phillies right now. The ball
Speaker 1: seems to be leaving the park every day for him.
Speaker 1: But if you're in need of you know, say you
Speaker 1: need saves like jose Lea Clark and Hunter Stricklin or
Speaker 1: two names that you guys are down that I I
Speaker 1: would be, you know, speculating on picking up I think
Speaker 1: it's more one of those weeks driven based on what
Speaker 1: you need rather than like, hey, there's this guy that
Speaker 1: I really think you should go and pick up fair enough,
Speaker 1: So it's all about based well, one name that you
Speaker 1: do wonder about, and he could be out there in
Speaker 1: some leaks. Frank, he's Dallas Kaiko, who finally signs yesterday.
Speaker 1: There were strong rumors about the Yankees, but always the
Speaker 1: Yankees and Braves at the end. Ultimately the Braves offered
Speaker 1: more money the Yankees want to give him about eleven
Speaker 1: point one mill. I believe where the Braves all went
Speaker 1: all the way up to thirteen. They got their man.
Speaker 1: He's reporting to Triple A Gwinnette starting this weekend, and
Speaker 1: then you know, a couple of starts later, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be back in the majors. Frank, what did you think
Speaker 1: the Braves signing Kaiko? How does it affect their rotation?
Speaker 1: And what do you expect from him the rest of
Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, I actually thought this was a really
Speaker 1: really smart signing for the Atlanta Braves. As good as
Speaker 1: their young pictures are, you have to wonder at some point,
Speaker 1: you know, are they gonna have to skip starts here
Speaker 1: and there with so Rocca and Max Freed? Do they
Speaker 1: have an endings limit? You know, so Rocca has had
Speaker 1: the shoulder issues in the past, so you know, as
Speaker 1: good as these guys have pitched, and they've pitched well.
Speaker 1: I think they needed another veteran presence in there. And
Speaker 1: we know Dallas Kaiko is certainly worthy of, you know,
Speaker 1: being an Ennings eat, but he's a little bit better
Speaker 1: than that too. I don't want to just kind of
Speaker 1: pigeonhole him into being, uh an Ennings eater, a guy
Speaker 1: that's gonna give you like a four e r A
Speaker 1: and and you know, just go out there every fifth
Speaker 1: day and give you six or seven innings, because I
Speaker 1: do think that he can be better than that. Now,
Speaker 1: his e arras over the past five years, he's he's
Speaker 1: been a little bit all over the map. It's been
Speaker 1: three point seven four, two point nine zero, four point
Speaker 1: five five, two point four eight, and two point nine three.
Speaker 1: I would say he's probably closer to that three point
Speaker 1: seven four last year. Rest of season if he's anywhere,
Speaker 1: you know, in a in a mid to high three
Speaker 1: c e r A. But there's still value in that,
Speaker 1: you know, based on pitching so far this season, a
Speaker 1: lot of aces have let us down to this point.
Speaker 1: You know, Aaron Nola has been up and down. Tremor
Speaker 1: Bauer again yesterday didn't look great. So you know, if
Speaker 1: he can pitch to a mid to high three z
Speaker 1: r A. There is value in that. I actually saw
Speaker 1: Derek Carty, who does the bat projections, tweeting about this earlier.
Speaker 1: He says he hasn't tweeter retweet of it. I believe
Speaker 1: it was Derrek Carty's acts, but you know, maybe it
Speaker 1: was the retweet. But you know, he hasn't four around
Speaker 1: hi mid three's e r A the rest of the way. Um,
Speaker 1: it wasn't for three, nine, seven, seven. Yeah, so this
Speaker 1: is I have it right in front of me. He
Speaker 1: hasn't for seventeen games, uh seven wins, three seven r A,
Speaker 1: one point three to whip and a six point five
Speaker 1: K per nine. And I saw that, and I thought
Speaker 1: those numbers are gross. And Derek keeps tweeting that that
Speaker 1: would be a top thirty fantasy starting pitcher going forward
Speaker 1: and made in the projections models that probably I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna deny that at all. But when I've seen those
Speaker 1: stats and I get it like that is still a
Speaker 1: well below league average for starters e r A, but
Speaker 1: that's above a league average whip, that's well below the
Speaker 1: league average K per nine. So that's just really like
Speaker 1: he's gonna help you when the r A and wins
Speaker 1: be league average and whip and hurt you win strikeouts. Actually,
Speaker 1: But I do think if you have Dallas Kyle like
Speaker 1: I have him in the Great Fantasy based Momentational, if
Speaker 1: he wants to do that, I'd be okay with it
Speaker 1: because there's so much unknown with him sitting out the
Speaker 1: first two months. But I would be lying if I
Speaker 1: said I wasn't hoping for better numbers than that. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't exactly surprise me. What when Cardi projects for
Speaker 1: him Dallas Kaikl's the strikers are never going to be high,
Speaker 1: and don't the ear a is going to be significant.
Speaker 1: He's going to be very very low. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's that kind of picture anymore. So I was actually
Speaker 1: looking at his fan graph page where his uh the
Speaker 1: bat projections were completely different. So it's good to know that,
Speaker 1: you know, according to his tweets, he does have him
Speaker 1: for a three nine seventy year a, but on a
Speaker 1: fan graphs he had him for a three four nine,
Speaker 1: So three nine seven not nearly as good. But I
Speaker 1: think you can see an ear a for a picture
Speaker 1: like Dallas Kaiko, who pitches more sort of contact there's
Speaker 1: gonna be more fluctuation because, uh, there's a little bit
Speaker 1: more luck involved. You know, a guy who depends a
Speaker 1: lot on groundballs and getting Dould plays and then having
Speaker 1: good defense behind him, Uh, A lot of the times
Speaker 1: it's out of his control. It's what does his defense
Speaker 1: do for him behind him? So that's why you see
Speaker 1: the fluctuation in e r A. But I mean, look,
Speaker 1: pitching has been all over the map so far this year.
Speaker 1: So if you get a sub four e r A
Speaker 1: on a brave team where you know, he should get
Speaker 1: some solid run support, should be able to win some games.
Speaker 1: Obviously not as not as good of a team as
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros, but I think, you know, getting to
Speaker 1: face the picture will help him a little bit as well.
Speaker 1: Of course. But you know, I put out a poll
Speaker 1: before the show, Greggy, where would you rank him rest
Speaker 1: of season? Top forty starting pitcher, outside the top forty,
Speaker 1: and I believe outside the top forty is actually winning.
Speaker 1: I think I probably would have chosen outside the top forty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I believe I chose of course, of course
Speaker 1: a Yankee, I would have said inside the top four yeah,
Speaker 1: of course. Being transparent here, Yeah, even though you know,
Speaker 1: being a Yankee would have probably act much hurt his value. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: pitching in Yankee Stadium. But yeah, right now of the
Speaker 1: votes is outside the top forty, so not a lot
Speaker 1: of people excited a about Dallas Kaikol From a fantasy perspective,
Speaker 1: do you think, Mike the Braves should have signed Kimberl
Speaker 1: instead of Keiko. I'm happy they didn't as a Luke
Speaker 1: Jackson owner, but uh, yeah, I mean I think they
Speaker 1: could have used either one. I think they went with
Speaker 1: Kaiko because he's cheaper, and the Braves have shown that
Speaker 1: they have like no desire to really spend money and
Speaker 1: they continue to get a pass something. I think Braves
Speaker 1: fans should be harder on their organization for not spending money.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think they went with Kaiko because he
Speaker 1: was the cheaper option of the two. A question that
Speaker 1: I haven't really seen an answer to yet. Uh, who
Speaker 1: do you guys think is going to get the boot
Speaker 1: from this rotation? Now? An That's what I thought. I
Speaker 1: thought too, But they have, They've invested in him. He sucks.
Speaker 1: He's bad, Mike, No, he is. I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: arguing that he's not. But when I first looked at
Speaker 1: the rotation, I was like, he's who should come out,
Speaker 1: but I'm not a percent sure they pull him out.
Speaker 1: Like Huio Tehran, his underlying numbs are not great. But
Speaker 1: he's actually pitched better since like the turn of May,
Speaker 1: so he's been better. You know, Max Freed has regressed
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think we were all expecting that
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna pitch like a you know, sub to
Speaker 1: five E R A for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: So Rocca is awesome, and he's gonna be in there,
Speaker 1: you know, as long as the shoulder holds up. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe later on in the season if they're
Speaker 1: if they're skipping starts for free or a or Ah Saroka,
Speaker 1: then Gallsmo just working his way back into it. But
Speaker 1: I think it's very clear he's been the worst starting
Speaker 1: pitcher of the bunch here, Uh Faulty has you know,
Speaker 1: he's still shaking off some rush, so I think you
Speaker 1: kind of give him a little bit of the benefit
Speaker 1: of the doubt. But we've seen that Faulty upside is
Speaker 1: higher than a guy like Gausman, So me personally, I
Speaker 1: I would say Galsman. I think Kaiko isn't here, and
Speaker 1: I think it was a really good fit from like
Speaker 1: a baseball perspective in Atlanta. But you know, just piggybacking
Speaker 1: off what Mike was saying. I know Mike was. You
Speaker 1: weren't like a huge Dallas Kaiko fan last year either.
Speaker 1: I kind of like talk to you guys into him
Speaker 1: on the team that we shared. But I think he's
Speaker 1: better from a from a baseball perspective for Atlanta than
Speaker 1: he actually is for a fantasy probably so probably so.
Speaker 1: I know, obviously these owners very very happy about the
Speaker 1: signing of Craig Kimberroll uh and Dallas Kaiko floor. When
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to you yesterday, obviously, what is
Speaker 1: the kimberal signing of Chicago. I mean, I think it
Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense. I think there that's a
Speaker 1: team that's been looking for a closer since Brendan Morrow
Speaker 1: got hurt last year. Uh, they need They're gonna eventually
Speaker 1: get Moral back, we think, so they should have some
Speaker 1: depth with him and Stroke and c Check. But they
Speaker 1: to me it seemed like a bullpen that was lacking
Speaker 1: the guy, and now they got their guy. I think
Speaker 1: Craig Kimbrell is going to quickly slide back into that
Speaker 1: closer role. I would project him as a top ten
Speaker 1: closer going forward, but we know the upside is higher.
Speaker 1: I worry a lot more about the time off affecting
Speaker 1: Kaiko than I do Kimberle, just because Kimbrell he has
Speaker 1: to go out there and throw like twenty maybe thirty
Speaker 1: pitches and most at a time. He doesn't have to
Speaker 1: build up the arm strength and the fatigue and all that.
Speaker 1: And my question with the Braves just to go back
Speaker 1: to that real quick, I don't disagree with you guys
Speaker 1: that they're going that it's gonna be Golsman. But my
Speaker 1: concern is, is this going to be like a Dodger
Speaker 1: situation where like we see Phantom d Elston's here and
Speaker 1: there to protect their young pictures and stuff like that
Speaker 1: is my bigger concern. It's it going to become more
Speaker 1: of a headache for the other guys potentially. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean we could see something away for for them to
Speaker 1: limit the endings overall. Um And look, we've never seen
Speaker 1: Dallas kickle pitch outside of Houston, and we know that
Speaker 1: Houston is an organization that typically gets the most out
Speaker 1: of their starting pictures. I mean, they basically let Kaiko
Speaker 1: walk and they brought in Wade Miley, and Wade Miley
Speaker 1: is basically doing whatever Dallas Kaiko would have been doing
Speaker 1: much steam anyway. So no, it's not just all right.
Speaker 1: He's definitely going to be the picture that he has
Speaker 1: been in years past because Houston just finds a way
Speaker 1: to get the most out of their starting pictures. So, uh,
Speaker 1: let's keep that in mind. I think if there's a chance,
Speaker 1: and I know you know this is kind of a
Speaker 1: theory that you've worked with for a while now, Mike,
Speaker 1: that it's more so for prospects, right like, when a
Speaker 1: prospect first gets called up, there's a lot of hype
Speaker 1: on that guy, and if you could turn him into
Speaker 1: a player that you trust more rest of season, that's
Speaker 1: something that you could look into doing. And I think
Speaker 1: if there's people in your league that are excited that
Speaker 1: Dallas kaikos A signed and oh he's gonna be in
Speaker 1: the National League and he's gonna be better than he
Speaker 1: was in Houston, now might be the time to shop
Speaker 1: him just to see what you can get because there
Speaker 1: might be people in your league that are excited about him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, and I think like I have Kaiko in
Speaker 1: the great fantasty based plementation, and I spoke with you
Speaker 1: guys when he was a free agent, and you all
Speaker 1: kind of like we all agree, like sixty I think
Speaker 1: I did sixty one dollar. The runner up was a dollar,
Speaker 1: so I mean I will overspent. But I've been sashic
Speaker 1: in the last moment, and I would like to be
Speaker 1: in a position where I have Kaiko. This is the
Speaker 1: only team I have him on, but I think this
Speaker 1: is the type of scenario where you feel good if
Speaker 1: you have Kaiko. My pitching has been pretty strong so
Speaker 1: far this year, so he is now just like a
Speaker 1: cherry on top of that, like he's another option. He's
Speaker 1: a depth option for me. I don't need him to
Speaker 1: come in and be Dallas Kiko of old. I think
Speaker 1: that's where you you want to be in the position
Speaker 1: if you have Dallas Kaiko. I don't think you're saying finally,
Speaker 1: I'm getting Dallas Kiko back the savior of my rotation.
Speaker 1: If you're expecting him to be like Dallas Kigo from
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, I think you're expecting way
Speaker 1: too much, especially since we've seen pictures miss time. But
Speaker 1: we haven't seen a picture, you know, not really debut
Speaker 1: till mid June, like from not playing, not from being injured.
Speaker 1: So it's a very unique circumstance. You were almost twenty
Speaker 1: minutes into the show. Yes, we haven't even mentioned Happy
Speaker 1: d d Gvigorious day, Greggy. I was coming. I saw
Speaker 1: the next segment with him d D coming back from
Speaker 1: Tommy John's surgery, uh in October. Maybe his debut from
Speaker 1: the Aches tonight. The expectation is he will play two
Speaker 1: out of every three days, to start two of every
Speaker 1: three days in the in the um in a series
Speaker 1: and listen, it's gonna be tough. I think early on
Speaker 1: in leaves where you or it's weekly moves to start
Speaker 1: him because you know he's gonna get at least two
Speaker 1: days off a week, which means the Akees have six games.
Speaker 1: He's only playing four of those games at maximum, So
Speaker 1: I thinks it'll be very, very tough to start him. Ideally,
Speaker 1: I think that makes sense, you know in deeper leagues
Speaker 1: where you know if you need help in middle infields,
Speaker 1: like if you've been stashing this guy in a fifteen team,
Speaker 1: or just the fact that you know he's gonna likely
Speaker 1: hit in the middle of the Yankees lineup, and we've
Speaker 1: talked for years now about how his swing is just
Speaker 1: a match made in heaven for Yankee Stadium. In those
Speaker 1: deeper leagues, even if they're a weekly format, you're probably
Speaker 1: still getting him in. But something that I'm finding already now, Greg,
Speaker 1: is that in twelve team leagues where I've been stashing him,
Speaker 1: I have a surplus of middle infielders, and I think
Speaker 1: there might be a lot of other people in that situation.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of short stops and second basement
Speaker 1: that have broken out this year, you know, the Jory
Speaker 1: Polancos of the world. You know, we just got Fernando
Speaker 1: Tatis back. People are going to be in a position
Speaker 1: here where over the next couple of weeks they can
Speaker 1: shop some of their middle infielders too, to potentially make
Speaker 1: a trade. So that's something that you're gonna want to
Speaker 1: look at, because at least in a few leagues where
Speaker 1: where I've been stashing d D, that is a situation
Speaker 1: that I'm in now. So I imagine a lot of
Speaker 1: people are going to be in a similar similar spot here. D.
Speaker 1: I would expect so Floria, they've been winning to get
Speaker 1: d d back, but they do have replacements ready, so
Speaker 1: we'll talk about what you thought you think about DV
Speaker 1: cling back on the other side, we'll also on the
Speaker 1: other side of the break get into some of these
Speaker 1: players are on the weaver. Are my guy, I have
Speaker 1: a sale girl, sire your guy, Garrett Cooper if he's
Speaker 1: out there, and maybe some other names in other leagues
Speaker 1: where people are just like, hey, I want to take
Speaker 1: a flyer in that guy. It's a fire week in
Speaker 1: general here on the BFF, so to stick around more.

Speaker 1: all hanging out with you on a Friday and we
Speaker 1: wanted to get your thoughts Floria before we continue on
Speaker 1: on the returning D D Glorious. Yeah, you guys have known.
Speaker 1: I've long hated DD because everything he does screams unsustainable,
Speaker 1: except for last year. Last year he actually started to
Speaker 1: hit the ball more thirties hard, at least already six
Speaker 1: percent hard hit rate, where the year before it was like,
Speaker 1: there's a reason why for so long I kept saying
Speaker 1: hard hit rate is not going to get it done,
Speaker 1: and seeing him bring that up to thirty six percent,
Speaker 1: I do admit that if he could keep it at
Speaker 1: that rate, then the home run to fly ball rate
Speaker 1: is sustainable. I believe I agree with what Frank was saying,
Speaker 1: although I think Ded is gonna be one of those
Speaker 1: guys that in shallower leagues, the people who were stashing
Speaker 1: him are gonna end up dropping him early on, and
Speaker 1: then someone else is gonna pick him up, because, like
Speaker 1: you said, Greggy, it's going to be a headache that
Speaker 1: at least the first few weeks you think when he's
Speaker 1: getting all this time off, Uh, and I expect him,
Speaker 1: you know, to have a slow start. He's coming back
Speaker 1: off of you know, a major surgery, he hasn't played
Speaker 1: in the BIGS and you know, the last two months
Speaker 1: of the season. So I wouldn't be surprised if he
Speaker 1: got up to a little bit of a slow start.
Speaker 1: And if that happens, I think we're gonna be getting questions, Hey,
Speaker 1: can I cut deep Gregorious because we know fantasy Baseball
Speaker 1: owners and uh, they're long leashes that they love to have. Okay,
Speaker 1: So there you go, Florist dots. Indeed, Hey, hey, I
Speaker 1: think I said a lot of positives. There's a more
Speaker 1: positive there than normal to little more a little more positive.
Speaker 1: You guys don't think it's reasonable that he could get
Speaker 1: off to a slow start, Yeah, I mean he definitely can. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just coming back from from Tommy John and we
Speaker 1: we've already seen this with like Clint Frasier, for example,
Speaker 1: coming back from an injury, and that was like a
Speaker 1: much shorter term injury, and you know he struggled from
Speaker 1: the get go. So yeah, I've got questions about dropping
Speaker 1: the fabri blues of prospects within the week of fabri Paloza.
Speaker 1: So I think people are just they're like Gregg calling
Speaker 1: you out. Yeah, I'm glad he froze when was calling
Speaker 1: me Out's work that perfect. Everyone else is like Greg,
Speaker 1: Now they wanna they want to just drop players right away.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm trying to say. I think so Greg,
Speaker 1: you you you have such a quick like you cut
Speaker 1: someone right away, and I get it. I get a
Speaker 1: tone of questions like I'm telling you people were the
Speaker 1: top prospects after fabil plusa few days later, people were tweeting,
Speaker 1: do not call it fabellosa. We all know it's fabrighedd
Speaker 1: and Gregg, it's not fabriged. It either not a thing fabuloso.
Speaker 1: What was it called? I called it either fabulousa which
Speaker 1: is amazing, or just the waivers. You know, it was
Speaker 1: your weekly waivers. That was fine with me. Also very boring, Greg.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to come up with with some
Speaker 1: some new material here, Greg. Mike, considering what we were
Speaker 1: just saying about Greg, I thought you should know that
Speaker 1: we probably told you this already in the pit league
Speaker 1: that we have here. He dropped Josh Bell in the
Speaker 1: first week oh no, Yeah, and he picked up someone terrible, right,
Speaker 1: Yandy Diaz, Okay, I like Yandy, It's not he's not.
Speaker 1: That's why I changed my teammates to premature droppage. Greggy,
Speaker 1: you like to do a lot of stuff prematurely, like
Speaker 1: what Mike, like, you know, root for the Yankees, like
Speaker 1: like they want a game before it's over. Greg, That's
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. I'll tell you one. I hope
Speaker 1: dallas Kaiko did not shave the beard prematurely. I hope
Speaker 1: not for him. His his say either, although I'm sure
Speaker 1: I could grow it back like like you can, very
Speaker 1: very quickly. Yeah, but I don't know. I've never had
Speaker 1: like a dallas Ki type beard. That's more flor. You've
Speaker 1: had some gross stuff, but I mean not not doullas disgusting.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, look at the waiver wire list here.
Speaker 1: There's literally nobody that stands out to me at all. Um.
Speaker 1: Two names I'll mention briefly, Famber Valdez and Peter Lambert.
Speaker 1: Two were Adam Lambert. Adam Peter Lambert will call him,
Speaker 1: and both pictures both out in the rotations for their teams.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Adam Peter Lambert. I can't get
Speaker 1: you know, on a Colorado picture ever. And you guys
Speaker 1: know how I feel about him. Ron Marquez, about Kyle Freeland,
Speaker 1: about Johnny Gray, I feel the same way about this guy.
Speaker 1: He was amazing in his debut in a tough spot
Speaker 1: in really with the wind blowing out in the day game,
Speaker 1: Like that's very, very impressive. But his next start, very
Speaker 1: well is cond be in Colorado. I believe it is
Speaker 1: in Toorado. Like if you have Adam Lambert, then no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not. Is that just a recipe for disaster. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just put his name on this list because he
Speaker 1: does have some prospect pedigree. He's the fourth ranked prospect
Speaker 1: in the Rockies organization according to MLB dot com, known
Speaker 1: for having plus control and actually you know, plus secondary pitches.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not really his fastball as his best pitch,
Speaker 1: which we normally see from a lot of prospects nowadays.
Speaker 1: It's his curveball is a sixty grade. His changeup is
Speaker 1: a sixty grade as well. But look, he did pitch
Speaker 1: well yesterday, so I think it was, you know, worth
Speaker 1: mentioning at the least. But yeah, look seven pitch four hits,
Speaker 1: one and run, one walk, nine strikeouts. Against the Chicago Cubs.
Speaker 1: He had thirteen swinging strikes ones, he had ninety three
Speaker 1: point five mile fastball on average, you know, worked in
Speaker 1: that changeup, that curveball um, you know, and and the
Speaker 1: only league I'll take a shot fifteen teamer if I'm
Speaker 1: really desperate, maybe stashing, but you know, anything shallower than that,
Speaker 1: I'll just watch now and see if anything develops here.
Speaker 1: But yeah, his next start is going to be in Colorado.
Speaker 1: I believe it's also against the Cubs, So obviously don't
Speaker 1: really love that spot, but I think it was worth
Speaker 1: mentioning how how great of a debut he did have, Mike,
Speaker 1: do you have any interest in Peter Lambert now? So
Speaker 1: I tweeted about him yesterday because I agree, Frank, it
Speaker 1: was worth mentioning, And a lot of people started to
Speaker 1: to say, Hey, should I pick him up? And my
Speaker 1: response kept being no, He's a guy that I'm more
Speaker 1: interested in watching now keeping an eye on. But I
Speaker 1: don't want to overlook the fact that in eleven starts
Speaker 1: last year a triple A and eleven starts this year
Speaker 1: triple A, the array was over five in both places. Uh,
Speaker 1: he wasn't a big strikeout guy. I understand that's the PCL.
Speaker 1: Colorado Springs tough places to pitch, but so was of
Speaker 1: course fields, So if he was struggling there, I'm not
Speaker 1: ready to to fully sell on to buy on him
Speaker 1: being the great picture. I thought it was one really
Speaker 1: good outing. Uh. It's definitely someone to put on your
Speaker 1: watch list to keep an eye on going forward, but
Speaker 1: not someone that I am looking to pick up just yet.
Speaker 1: What about your other the other man I mentioned your
Speaker 1: Fred Rovalde has any interest there Floria? Yeah, so I'm
Speaker 1: pretty excited for him because I have him in the
Speaker 1: Toutwars draft and hold and obviously you know in the
Speaker 1: league like that, any arm you can get is useful.
Speaker 1: But for re drafts, he is more of a guy
Speaker 1: that I'm going to keep an eye on before I
Speaker 1: rush and pick up. I understand he's been pitching well,
Speaker 1: uh really as using Kogran Martin as an opener and
Speaker 1: coming in and pitching after that, But I want to
Speaker 1: see him what he can do getting the full start,
Speaker 1: how deep they're gonna push him into this game and
Speaker 1: everything before I can really say run and pick this
Speaker 1: guy up in redraft league. To me, he's more of
Speaker 1: a much deeper league option, And like I'm the league
Speaker 1: fifty rounds draft and hold that's a lot different from
Speaker 1: a regular redraft league. Yeah, for me, I think frame
Speaker 1: Rivalde is my profile more as a reliever, relies a
Speaker 1: lot on his sinker and curveball. That's fine, it could work.
Speaker 1: Also uses a four seamer button basically two pitches here,
Speaker 1: uses the sinker and curveball, left handed pitcher, and you
Speaker 1: look throughout the minor leagues a lot of high ground
Speaker 1: ball rates, so that's something that will be looking into here.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm probably more likely to pick up for
Speaker 1: Amber Valdez in a deeper league like a fifteen team,
Speaker 1: or over a guy like Peter Lambert, because again, when
Speaker 1: it comes to the Astros, it seems like they're able
Speaker 1: to figure these guys out, unless, of course, her name
Speaker 1: is Corbyn Martin. But uh, you know, he's gonna have
Speaker 1: some offensive run support for him, so potentially could get
Speaker 1: some wins. But I do is he gonna go with
Speaker 1: that deep into games? Um, So it's a mixed bag here.
Speaker 1: But because he plays for Houston, I think I'm more
Speaker 1: likely to take a shot on him than I am
Speaker 1: Peter Lambert, although I don't really have much interest in either.
Speaker 1: Just in a vacuum. Yeah, I don't really have been
Speaker 1: interested either of these guys, to be honest with you, Frank,
Speaker 1: who's your number one add this week? I mean we
Speaker 1: j Bruce, Garrett Cooper and my man. I would sayil Garcia,
Speaker 1: like we've been there, we kind have done that. Like
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find somebody that people don't know about
Speaker 1: and he will should be excited about. And I gotta
Speaker 1: be hollesutly he made this list and it's really really helpful.
Speaker 1: But well, I said, any of them, and I think
Speaker 1: that's what a lot of how a lot of people
Speaker 1: are going to feel. But you know, Mike was talking
Speaker 1: about fabulous, fab again and whatever you wanna call it.
Speaker 1: And a lot of those players are struggling right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's see what's going on. You know, outside
Speaker 1: of Austin Riley, who has been awesome, kessing hera was
Speaker 1: awesome now in the minor leagues, Nikki Lopez has struggled.
Speaker 1: Oscar Mercado has been mostly good. But you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: these veteran players can be even more useful than prospects
Speaker 1: because We're spending all this money on prospects, and for
Speaker 1: the most part, a lot of the prospects haven't worked
Speaker 1: out so far this year. I mean, ask me about
Speaker 1: Carter Keebum, who I'm still holding in a few leagues.
Speaker 1: But you know, overall, I think just because we don't
Speaker 1: have prospects doesn't mean that it can't be a fruitful
Speaker 1: waiver wire week. I agree with what Mike said earlier on.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it comes down to what
Speaker 1: you need. If you need pop. J Bruce makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense to batting average isn't gonna be great,
Speaker 1: But as we've seen already in a short time with Philly,
Speaker 1: is gonna hit in the middle the line up. The
Speaker 1: pop is there. He had the multi home run game
Speaker 1: earlier on in the week. I really like Garrett Cooper
Speaker 1: a lot. I think if you lost Andrew McCutcheon and
Speaker 1: you haven't had a chance for for fad bidding yet,
Speaker 1: if it's coming for the this weekend for you, then
Speaker 1: Garrett Cooper is a name that I would be on.
Speaker 1: You know. Since May A three fifty one batting average,
Speaker 1: five homer's, eighteen runs scored, fourteen r B I S,
Speaker 1: H doesn't strike out all that much as a fifteen
Speaker 1: percent strike out rate during that time, a hard contact rate.
Speaker 1: So I like Garrett Cooper a lot towards the top
Speaker 1: of the Marlins lineup. Scott Kingrea is a name that
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are gonna flock to. Gray.
Speaker 1: I think it's worth mentioning Ramon Loriano and I know
Speaker 1: that we kind of like joke with each other about
Speaker 1: how I wanted you to bid on him during G
Speaker 1: d D. I went to the bathroom. It turns out
Speaker 1: we miss out on Ramon Loriano wanted Flanna, did you
Speaker 1: went to the bath who was actually cooled off? But
Speaker 1: Ramon Loriano the opposite of Domingo Santana. I mean, since
Speaker 1: you know, over the past thirty days for him three
Speaker 1: thirteen batting average three fifty two ov P five slug
Speaker 1: five one runs, sixteen runs scored, eleven RBIs, three stolen bases,
Speaker 1: He's doing a little bit of everything. Again, like the
Speaker 1: batting average is there, He's hitting the ball hard, hard
Speaker 1: contact right over the last thirty days, uh to forty
Speaker 1: two ice fly ball Rath Mike, So you know he's
Speaker 1: he's part of that forty club over the past thirty days.
Speaker 1: Gives you some pop, he's got some speed. He's hitting
Speaker 1: for average up over three. Pretty good Oakland A's lineup.
Speaker 1: I think if you need a little bit of everything
Speaker 1: in a twelve team league. I don't know that everyone
Speaker 1: has realized how good Loriano has been. Mike, Are you
Speaker 1: in a Loriano or is there someone else on this
Speaker 1: list that you like more? No, I'm I think you're
Speaker 1: painted a great picture of him, how hot he's been playing.
Speaker 1: I wish they would totally with the idea of maybe
Speaker 1: moving him up in the lineup, but it seems like
Speaker 1: every night he's gonna hit seventh or eighth, which is
Speaker 1: going to hurt a little bit. But you know, you
Speaker 1: wish they would move him up so we could score
Speaker 1: some more runs, maybe get to steal some more. But
Speaker 1: like you said, Frankie, he's really hot right now. And
Speaker 1: I think this is one of those weeks where you're
Speaker 1: not looking to outside of maybe like a D. D.
Speaker 1: Gregorious or something like, or like if a Dallas Kiko
Speaker 1: was out there. I think this is more of a
Speaker 1: pickup a week where you're looking just too who's hot
Speaker 1: right now? Who can I ride out? The next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks not looking Hey, who can I spend a
Speaker 1: bunch of money on it and it's going to change
Speaker 1: my season. That's just not how the fab landscape is
Speaker 1: this week. So I think that's a really good call, Frank.
Speaker 1: You can pick him up even if he fizzles out,
Speaker 1: if you get a couple of home runs and a
Speaker 1: couple of steals out of him the next week. Those
Speaker 1: are moves along with the big ones that if you
Speaker 1: pair them together, that is how you win a league.
Speaker 1: You don't just win a league off of your big pickups.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of the ones that you pick up
Speaker 1: and you ride out for a week or two. And
Speaker 1: I think you did a great job showing how hot
Speaker 1: he is and how right now he is contributing and
Speaker 1: basically all five categories. So I think he is a
Speaker 1: guy that you should be looking to pick up someone
Speaker 1: else who's hot, Greg and going against me this week
Speaker 1: in one of our head to head points league, absolutely
Speaker 1: crushing me. And I was surprised to see this. William Thomas,
Speaker 1: you know, much like Loriano. I don't know that people
Speaker 1: realize how well he's played since May one, a three
Speaker 1: oh three batting average, five homer's fourteen runs scored, fourteen RBIs,
Speaker 1: two stolen bases, So you know, since May one, there
Speaker 1: hasn't really been a hole in his game. Adding averages,
Speaker 1: they're giving you a little bit of pop. The runs scored,
Speaker 1: the RBIs he he was matting clean up the other
Speaker 1: day for the Tampa Bay Rays nine point one percent Walker.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is you know, he was a top
Speaker 1: prospect for the Sampa Bay Rays. We thought, maybe he's
Speaker 1: a guy who can hit fifteen twenty home runs, ten
Speaker 1: to twelve. Maybe fifteen stolen bases gives you a little
Speaker 1: bit of power, a little bit of speed. And it
Speaker 1: seems like everything that the Rays do seems to be
Speaker 1: a right move. I mean, obviously trading away Archer and
Speaker 1: getting Austin Meadows and glass Now. Glass Now was pitching
Speaker 1: awesome Austin Meadows. You know, if the season ended today,
Speaker 1: is a top three m VP candidate in the a L.
Speaker 1: But let's not forget about William Damas. I mean, the
Speaker 1: hard contact is up as well, the line drive rate
Speaker 1: um lowering his strikeouts. He got off to a really
Speaker 1: really cold start, Greg and I think that's why if
Speaker 1: you look at his overall numbers, they're still not where
Speaker 1: they should be. But if you look at it, just
Speaker 1: from May one on, he's been one of the best
Speaker 1: middle infielders, and that's Willia Damas, so I think he's
Speaker 1: in a category with Ramone Loriana where you might not
Speaker 1: realize how good he's been, but he's been really good.
Speaker 1: I'm actually cool with both of those guys, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, because Adamas obviously the prospect pedigree, and
Speaker 1: Ran Loriano does a little bit of everything. I mean,
Speaker 1: you gave the numbers, and really, just since June started,
Speaker 1: he's done more than he had in all the other mollets,
Speaker 1: right with two soule amazes and two home runs take
Speaker 1: away everything else. And it's only June seven. So Ramone
Speaker 1: Loriano in five games in June and Green Mike, i'd
Speaker 1: love to see him move up to vatting order. I
Speaker 1: don't think it happens. But Loriano, I think it's absolutely
Speaker 1: somebody to pick up. And William Domas. If you're looking
Speaker 1: for infield help, and we all kind of are, I
Speaker 1: think it's worth it. How much your budget are you
Speaker 1: using on these guys? Why not much. I'm not really
Speaker 1: gonna like break the bank for any of them. But
Speaker 1: It depends you know what you need, right, like if
Speaker 1: you if you need someone who can give you a
Speaker 1: little bit of everything, who'll give you some pop, some speed, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe you'd be a little bit more aggressive on Loria
Speaker 1: Loriano and an Adamas, maybe both of them. Right, So
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't go more than like five of my
Speaker 1: fad budget. What are you thinking, Mike, Does that sound right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that sounds right to me. But I would be more
Speaker 1: aggressive on those two guys than the others because there
Speaker 1: is a chance again that this is just a hot streak.
Speaker 1: And William Dommas does to me seem like a Peaks
Speaker 1: and Valleys type hitter. He's a free swinger, he likes
Speaker 1: his chase, pitches out of his zone. And I know
Speaker 1: this recent hot streak, he's gotten his numbers back to
Speaker 1: looking like they were last year. And if he can
Speaker 1: do that, I think he will be a Peaks and
Speaker 1: Valleys type hitter. But there is a chance that he's
Speaker 1: still just twenty three years old, he's a former top prospect.
Speaker 1: He could this could be more than just a hot streak.
Speaker 1: So because of that, with these two guys that they're young,
Speaker 1: and the pedigree that they did possess just a few
Speaker 1: months ago. So I think because of that, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to be a little bit more aggressive on these
Speaker 1: than some of the other more boring veteran names, who
Speaker 1: are guys who we know they are, and like, I
Speaker 1: feel much more confident saying j Bruce is just hot
Speaker 1: right now, then Jay Bruce is something else whereas William
Speaker 1: Domas and Loriano maybe they are in fact figuring something
Speaker 1: out and building on it. So because there's a little
Speaker 1: bit more unknown, a little bit more higher upside with
Speaker 1: these guys, I would put be a little bit more
Speaker 1: aggressive with them than I would with some of the
Speaker 1: more proven players that we know who they are. What
Speaker 1: about a prospect you mentioned before, Frank about Scott Kingary
Speaker 1: or Flory might have been he mentioned Kingary, But Adam
Speaker 1: Hasley has gotten called up for Philly as well, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna get some playing time too. Obviously, Jay bruce
Speaker 1: acquisition does uh kind of make things a bit convoluted
Speaker 1: in that Philly outfield. But what about Adam Hasley, I
Speaker 1: thought to you, Mike, Uh, he is. He's not a
Speaker 1: player I can totally get excited for right now, just
Speaker 1: because the playing time concerns like I I still do.
Speaker 1: I don't think mcl franco is going to completely go
Speaker 1: away and and just become, you know, relegated to a
Speaker 1: bench roll. I think Scott Kingery is gonna get a
Speaker 1: lot of time out there. I think Jay Bruce is
Speaker 1: red hot right now and they're gonna find every way
Speaker 1: to get him out in left field and get him
Speaker 1: those that bad Nick Williams is still there, so I
Speaker 1: want to see the playing time in Philly kind of
Speaker 1: settle a little bit before I can really get excited
Speaker 1: about him. I would rather pick up Lord the other
Speaker 1: two guys that we were just talking about. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a more deeper league, ad and it only should be
Speaker 1: added just because it seems like for the time being,
Speaker 1: as long as o'double Herreraz on administrative leave, he's gonna
Speaker 1: play most of the time. I would say that for
Speaker 1: for Adam Hasley, and you know, maybe in a fifteen teamer.
Speaker 1: You know, Loreano is not gonna be out there anymore.
Speaker 1: Evil Garcia is not going to be out there. So
Speaker 1: if you're desperate for an outfielder, you know you need
Speaker 1: five outfielders to start. I get it, but anything shallower
Speaker 1: than fifteen teamers. I can't really advocate for Adam Hasley,
Speaker 1: and we spoke about him the other day. Right, he
Speaker 1: has a he has a plus hit tool, but if
Speaker 1: you look at his minor league numbers, hasn't really offered
Speaker 1: much upside outside of that. Like in last year between
Speaker 1: high A ball and Double A he hit three or
Speaker 1: five with eleven homers and seven seals. That's fine, and
Speaker 1: rybe he gets better at the major league level, but
Speaker 1: we don't really have anything to go off of that.
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna hit for a lot of power,
Speaker 1: or he's gonna steal a lot of bases. It really
Speaker 1: just seems like he might be some empty batting, fine
Speaker 1: MLB player from a fantasy perspective, there may not be
Speaker 1: enough there. We'll think right here, we're gonna come back.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the Jason start treat your question

Speaker 1: I got Super Showdown. Everybody wrote some spoilers that are
Speaker 1: happening Undertaker versus Goldberg. Yeah, I can't think of anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like a three minute match for sure.
Speaker 1: I've fallen off so hard, guys, and I apologize. It's
Speaker 1: that match is going to be terrible. Like I basically
Speaker 1: boycotted w w E. I don't really watch any of
Speaker 1: their actual programming. Like I still watch n x T
Speaker 1: because like the in ring product is amazing, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna watch a w because double or nothing was awesome.
Speaker 1: But outside of that, like I haven't watched a raw
Speaker 1: or SmackDown in I want to say, like a year
Speaker 1: and a half. I'm gonna be honestly, this is the
Speaker 1: least that I have watched wrestling in like two decades.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really glad you guys are saying that, because
Speaker 1: like my one friend out here who watches, he's still
Speaker 1: been watching, and I'm like, it seems like it's been
Speaker 1: pretty like I haven't watched since Mania at all, And
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm missing much at all. I I
Speaker 1: don't think so like I've I've never been now as always,
Speaker 1: I'm still very very into the behind the scenes product
Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. Yeah, like I love the
Speaker 1: stuff that's going on with Dean Ambros right now. Yeah awesome,
Speaker 1: Don Moxley all his like interviews and stuff. But I'm
Speaker 1: not but the raun smack then itself. I've never been
Speaker 1: this disinterested every Did you get a chance to listen
Speaker 1: to the Chris Jericho podcast with I did not yet,
Speaker 1: but I want to. It sounds like fun. I wanted
Speaker 1: to listen on my flight and then I started watching
Speaker 1: the NBA Final game and I totally forgot. Well, yeah
Speaker 1: you should. You should check it out. Anyone else out
Speaker 1: there who's a Who's Wrestling fan? You should check out
Speaker 1: the interview with Chris Jerico. If you're a wrestling fan,
Speaker 1: you probably listen to it already. But I tried to
Speaker 1: listen to the Wade Killer one great. It was basically
Speaker 1: like an ad commercial in like every other like two minutes,
Speaker 1: so it was very frustrating, and Dan Ambros like called
Speaker 1: in on his phone and audio quality wasn't great. So
Speaker 1: and amazons for the Transcerperence Jericho with the tricker question, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, who spo She just became the only active
Speaker 1: manager with a thousand wins for his current team in
Speaker 1: the three other managers with six hundred plus wins for
Speaker 1: their team. I know two of them off the top
Speaker 1: my head, and the manager is definitely my thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're you're definitely there? Really, Okay, that's fine. I'm confident
Speaker 1: with two with two answers immediately, I'll try to think
Speaker 1: of a third with the same team. Yes, okay, So
Speaker 1: Boucci thousand, Um, Bob Melvin, Yep, that was one that
Speaker 1: I thought of. Yep, I'm Melvin with Oakland. Yeah, Mike
Speaker 1: Social would have been a shoeing. He probably had a thousand, right,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he did. You know what my issue is
Speaker 1: right now? I keep thinking of teams that have won
Speaker 1: a lot, but they all have new managers recently. Sure, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a Red Sox. Yeah yeah, clubs with like Madden
Speaker 1: hasn't reached six hundred with the clubs yet right now?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't think so. I don't
Speaker 1: think a J. Hinch has done it either. He was
Speaker 1: a name that I thought about. But six too many,
Speaker 1: six hundre too Yeah, what do you got? Greg ned
Speaker 1: Yost the Kansas City for a long time. That's that's
Speaker 1: definitely there. If so, those are the two the media
Speaker 1: kid of mine a J Ghost, Bob Melvin, a J.
Speaker 1: Hincha thought about for sure J h might be there
Speaker 1: because they win like a hundred games a year. So
Speaker 1: that was one that definitely came to mind immediately, those three.
Speaker 1: What about Frank Code with Cleveland? Has you been to
Speaker 1: Cleveland long enough? My guess is it's one of those two?
Speaker 1: Is the third? All right? So you like those two
Speaker 1: answers then yeah, um, no one else has really been
Speaker 1: managing for a long time. Yeah, cus pirates and what
Speaker 1: Colint Hurdle of Pittsburgh's in Pittsburgh a long time now,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Hurdles pretty good and they're always
Speaker 1: like right around he wins. Yeah, I bet you it's
Speaker 1: one of them. I kind of like, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the Clint Hurdle. Guess that's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: Mikey No, no love for Mickey Calloway. Yeah, I could
Speaker 1: guarantee you it's not Mickey Calloway. All right. So that's
Speaker 1: the thing. Man Like I was like the Yankees, no
Speaker 1: Red Sox, no like Phillies, no, like so many teams
Speaker 1: that you would think right away, but they have new
Speaker 1: managers nailed it, ned Yost, Clint Hurdle, Bob Melvine, I
Speaker 1: got him all right there. This was more doesn't have
Speaker 1: like who's next like he does. Yes, Next up is
Speaker 1: Terry Francona five seventies six, so he should get there.
Speaker 1: This Yeason get there this year. Francona up next, Joe
Speaker 1: Maddene followed by a j Hinge at four seventeen so
Speaker 1: not really close at all. Nope, but so Francona was
Speaker 1: Francona was really next up obviously, But Yost Melvin Hurdle, sweet,
Speaker 1: that was your should be a question litter be Jason Start.
Speaker 1: We appreciated Jason Frank and he wants getting the pictures
Speaker 1: with Floral. Yeah. I just wanted to throw some some
Speaker 1: names out there. I don't know that people have realized
Speaker 1: this or not, but Dakoda Hudson has actually been pretty
Speaker 1: pitching pretty damn well just recently, and next week he's
Speaker 1: going up at Miami and at the New York Mets.
Speaker 1: Pretty good to star week, Mike, are you interested in
Speaker 1: Dakoda Hudson Of all the names on this list yet,
Speaker 1: he would be the one that I'm most interested in,
Speaker 1: But it's still really hard for me to get excited
Speaker 1: about him. His walks for nine is not far off
Speaker 1: from his strikeout p. Nine. That's that's not great. And
Speaker 1: while the e er A looks pretty good right now,
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of indicators screaming that it's not sustainable.
Speaker 1: The fit is a lot higher, the exit is higher,
Speaker 1: the strand ray. I mean, like, I look at all
Speaker 1: his numbers, and I think this guy is an okay picture.
Speaker 1: I'm okay using him against the Marlins and the Mets,
Speaker 1: and Morms has been pretty hot the Mets can he
Speaker 1: really hit it all? So I'm okay using him there
Speaker 1: in this matchup, but after that I would probably cut
Speaker 1: bait with him. Yeah, I think that makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. I'm looking at his last five starts, where
Speaker 1: he's delivered a quality start in each one of those.
Speaker 1: So I think if you're playing a quality start, lead
Speaker 1: data add some extra motivation for you. He's got a
Speaker 1: two point six four ERA during that span, Reggy, he's
Speaker 1: got a four point six seven x FIP during that
Speaker 1: span as well, four point seven case per nine over
Speaker 1: his last five starts, three point eight walks for nine.
Speaker 1: I'll just I'll just like sinking that's not good. Let's
Speaker 1: just let that sink in. I'll throw that out there, Mikey.
Speaker 1: John Means has pitched pretty well this year Verse Toronto.
Speaker 1: I like that behind that, but then Verse Boston. So
Speaker 1: it's one of these And it seems like this happens
Speaker 1: more often than not where when you have a two
Speaker 1: star pitchers on the waiver wire, there'll be one start
Speaker 1: that you're enticed by and then the other one you're like,
Speaker 1: but that one really scares me. What do you think
Speaker 1: about John Means? I don't love him because the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: While I understanding it is a very favorable matchup, they've
Speaker 1: been a little bit hot as of late. Plus there
Speaker 1: a team that all the it seems like almost every
Speaker 1: guy they sent up to the play could take you
Speaker 1: deep at any point. And that's what happened like the
Speaker 1: other day with the with Tanaka right like, he was
Speaker 1: pitching really well and then they got to for a
Speaker 1: couple of home runs late and it really made the
Speaker 1: start look pretty gross. So Means is one that I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit more cautious with because of those matchups. Greggy,
Speaker 1: I'll throw one year way. How about this, Jared I
Speaker 1: Cough versus Arizona Arizona, who is actually one of the
Speaker 1: coldest teams in baseball right now. Over the past seven
Speaker 1: days they have a six or four ops that is
Speaker 1: the worst in baseball. And at Atlanta. Inter I coughed
Speaker 1: Verse Arizona at Atlanta, Yeah, if you need it, if
Speaker 1: you need a tow start pitchers, fine, sure, I think
Speaker 1: you could, like, yeah, you could do worse. The mass
Speaker 1: ups aren't terrible. I agree. I would use like off
Speaker 1: over means. Personally, I don't want that Boston gas man, Greggy,
Speaker 1: get him while you can. You don't even know they's
Speaker 1: gonna make you starts, So Nurse Philly Verse Pitt. I
Speaker 1: don't want the gas man Verse Detroit at Minnesota. You're
Speaker 1: done with ja. I'll throw this name out there. I
Speaker 1: have a little bit of interest. It's Animal Sanche. His
Speaker 1: last two starts that he's made since returning from injury
Speaker 1: one earned run over eleven and the third endings pitched.
Speaker 1: The strikeouts have been their forum as well at Chicago
Speaker 1: White Sox, who are prone to striking out, and in
Speaker 1: Verse Arizona, a team that's very cold right now. I
Speaker 1: have mild interest in Anibal Sanchez. Mike, what do you think.
Speaker 1: I I a video just randomly started playing on my
Speaker 1: laptop and I don't know where it's coming from. But
Speaker 1: I had Animal Sanchez earlier this year and he was
Speaker 1: he was disappointing. But in this if you're trying to
Speaker 1: build off of his two hot starts, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: But I don't really love Animal Sanchez. I had him
Speaker 1: earlier in the year and it was it was pretty dreadful, Mike,
Speaker 1: Jason Vargus one of the hottest pitchers in baseball right now.
Speaker 1: All he needed was that guy from the seventeenth or
Speaker 1: eighteenth century to to ask him questions in the in
Speaker 1: the Mets club house, and all of a sudden he's
Speaker 1: earned it around. Did you know that Jason Vargus is
Speaker 1: the second lowest e r A in the Mets starting rotation.
Speaker 1: I did not. I did not. It is lower than
Speaker 1: no Syndergarden, is lower than Zach Wheeler. Yeah, he's going
Speaker 1: at the Yankees and versus St. Louis. Mike, you gotta
Speaker 1: be in on the Mets, right I actually wrote about
Speaker 1: Jason Vargus on Patreon the other day, and uh, in
Speaker 1: these last five starts, he's a one seven D r
Speaker 1: a three to three four x fit. He's averaging eight
Speaker 1: kse per nine and he has a one point oh
Speaker 1: five whip. And despite all that, I still want absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing to do with him. He uh, you know what
Speaker 1: his average fastball velocity was against the Giants the other day,
Speaker 1: I'll say eighty six. No, No, that would be high
Speaker 1: for him. It actually dropped down to eighty three point
Speaker 1: nine miles per hour. He's set between eighty five all years,
Speaker 1: eighty five oh year, whereas last year he was at
Speaker 1: least hitting eighty six and eighty seven. I don't know
Speaker 1: what he is really doing right now because there's not
Speaker 1: a change in his pitch arsenal, there's not an added
Speaker 1: jumping velocity. There really seems to be nothing explaining how
Speaker 1: he's pitching so well right now. But when you see
Speaker 1: him throwing low eighties, yeah, I want nothing to do
Speaker 1: with it. I'm gonna stay away from Jason Vargus still
Speaker 1: like what does it say about the Mets pitching staff? Though?
Speaker 1: And this is not just a jab because it's it's frustrating.
Speaker 1: You know, I was texting you watching Zach Wheeler yesterday.
Speaker 1: He still got doomed by the long ball text against
Speaker 1: the Giants of all teams. Uh, and no, Synderguard has
Speaker 1: just been so inconsistent this year, Like, what does it
Speaker 1: say that Jason Vargus is able to shut down the Giants?
Speaker 1: But like Zach Wheeler all in all, his start was good,
Speaker 1: but you didn't shut them down the way that Jason varges,
Speaker 1: Like what's going on with the Mets man, Like, I
Speaker 1: just don't get it. They haven't been able to figure
Speaker 1: out Wheeler or synder Guard for whatever reason this year.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know why. Both of them have
Speaker 1: been plagued by the long ball more Wheeler. I actually
Speaker 1: think Wheeler has been pitching really well this year outside
Speaker 1: of the long ball issues. Like I was tweeting it yesterday,
Speaker 1: He's got six innings and eleven straight starts, and I
Speaker 1: believe it was like eight of them. He's got seven
Speaker 1: or more like that's really useful. And and you look
Speaker 1: at all those numbers and the ear a is really
Speaker 1: is the one standing. I know, it's to that that
Speaker 1: we care about most, but it's the really one stat
Speaker 1: that is ruining his season. But the indicators all say
Speaker 1: he should be better. It's the the issues with the
Speaker 1: long ball. He's allowed almost as many as he did
Speaker 1: last year in a hundred fewer innings. And that's the
Speaker 1: issue with Syndergard. I believe Synderguard's already allowed more this
Speaker 1: year than he had all of last year. So for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, I mean, it's a it's an epidemic around baseball.
Speaker 1: We see it happening with Trevor Bower. We see a
Speaker 1: lot of pictures just this year the long ball is
Speaker 1: flying out more than ever, and it really is since
Speaker 1: two thousand two. It is by far the highest home
Speaker 1: run of fly ball rate for starting pictures, at least
Speaker 1: as of yesterday. So I don't think it is an
Speaker 1: issue that is just to them. I think Wheeler is
Speaker 1: pitching better than he's getting credit for. Syndergard has been
Speaker 1: definitely a headache. I know Wheeler has been frustrating as well,
Speaker 1: but Syndergard more so, I feel like. But I do
Speaker 1: think both of them have better days ahead. It's just
Speaker 1: the long ball issues have been have been for real,
Speaker 1: and they're not alone there. And with that, we're gonna
Speaker 1: sign off of YouTube for today. Come up next out
Speaker 1: the Window with Shawn Guastamakia, So stick around for that
Speaker 1: at the Window. Coming to Way next and he's a
Speaker 1: bunch of interviews, line ups. It should be fun. It's
Speaker 1: out the window of showing. Wasston Mockey next for everbody
Speaker 1: watching at home, We appreciate it. We'll see you next
Speaker 1: week probably an time all the lords Twitter for that
Speaker 1: all right five minutes ago, Frank and Mike, which means
Speaker 1: it's time for our best bets forever. Yesterday, all I
Speaker 1: was doing was crushing it as San Diego was not
Speaker 1: the sucker play Cleveland against or sorry, Washington against San Diego,
Speaker 1: clear sucker play. Patrick Corbett on the mound as an underdog.
Speaker 1: They begged you to take the Washington Nationals thankfully listened
Speaker 1: to me and you didn't. And I also hit the
Speaker 1: over when it came to Cleveland in Minnesota and feeling good. Frank,
Speaker 1: you're hot today. Do you have something I do? There's
Speaker 1: two that qu in to mind when you talk to me.
Speaker 1: Out of one that you didn't give me the White
Speaker 1: Sox plus one oh six small dog in Kansas City
Speaker 1: against Homer Bailey and the Royals Eva Nova in the
Speaker 1: White Sox. That I mean, the only way that you
Speaker 1: can watch this game is if you're betting on it.
Speaker 1: That's right. It's dude, von Nova against Homer Bailey, Are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? This is a This is a blast
Speaker 1: from the past if I've ever seen one. But all right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna go down the White Sox
Speaker 1: ro oute. I you know, I don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of faith there. I'm gonna go with let's go Mets.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Mets. I'm not taking the
Speaker 1: money line here. I like the total in this one,
Speaker 1: seven and a half. I understand stand that to Gramas
Speaker 1: on the mound, but if he gives up a few
Speaker 1: runs here to Colorado. I know it's the Mets lineup,
Speaker 1: but they should be able to hit. Antonio sends it.
Speaker 1: Tella a little bit right, So seven and a half
Speaker 1: total runs. I like the over there. I think we
Speaker 1: get some runs here from the Mets against Antonio sends it.
Speaker 1: Tella should be able to do his thing. It's just
Speaker 1: too low number. Greg. Normally, when we get the seven
Speaker 1: and a half total, it's like when we have two
Speaker 1: aces on the mound going against each other. It'sa gram again,
Speaker 1: sends it. Teal kind of feel the same way when
Speaker 1: it comes to Kershaw and Drew palmerans you've got bomb blast.
Speaker 1: I was thinking that to also seven and a half.
Speaker 1: But the Giants lineup is just so bad. But you know,
Speaker 1: I guess you can make the argument that the Mets
Speaker 1: lineup is really bad too, but hey, they scored on
Speaker 1: seven eight runs yesterday. You can build off that. I
Speaker 1: think I also finally raise and Red Sox over under
Speaker 1: way too high. I think I like the under their
Speaker 1: ten runs for Yanni Cerinos and Rick porcell That's a
Speaker 1: lot of runs. Porcela has pitched better as a way too.
Speaker 1: I think I like the under when it comes to
Speaker 1: the Red Sox and the race. Mike, I know I
Speaker 1: sent you the linked fourhand up. Did you have a
Speaker 1: best bed forever? Was there anything that was talking to you?
Speaker 1: The one that the one non obvious one that jumped
Speaker 1: out at me. I like the Rangers tonight over Oakland Athletics.
Speaker 1: Lancelin has been pitching really well as of late, and
Speaker 1: not I don't think getting enough credit for it. Though
Speaker 1: he's been the strikeouts have been up. I actually I've
Speaker 1: been pretty aggressively on him in Fantasy last week, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my money where my mouth is. I
Speaker 1: would trust the Rangers to beat up on Brett Anderson
Speaker 1: and Lancelin to get the win tonight. All right, do
Speaker 1: you go? It's a good pick from Florida about that.
Speaker 1: He like the Rangers. Uh, light's one tando the fandul
Speaker 1: sports book. I'm choosing the White Sox. You get plus
Speaker 1: money on plus what I was six, so we'll trying
Speaker 1: to give you a dog. And Frankie likes the over
Speaker 1: in the Mets game as we'll take over seven a
Speaker 1: half Mets and Rockies from City Field. Actually wanted to
Speaker 1: go to this game, but I don't even want to
Speaker 1: go with Yeah, really you you were a dynasty Antonio
Speaker 1: sent and if you want, in two weeks, I'm going
Speaker 1: to see the Rockies in San Francisco if you want
Speaker 1: to meet me there for the game. Not helpful, Sorry,
Speaker 1: not not helpful. It's still the Rockies playing against a
Speaker 1: team with orange. I also like, um the under when
Speaker 1: it comes to the Red Sox and the Raizo, and
Speaker 1: you want to throw that out as well. And for
Speaker 1: anyone who might be listening on demand, if you're in
Speaker 1: our FanDuel contest, make sure that you set your lineup.
Speaker 1: Uh it's if you've been in there before. You just
Speaker 1: hit the friends tab on the top of the fandel
Speaker 1: page and you're already in the contests again. You just
Speaker 1: have to sit your line end up. We'll be going
Speaker 1: live tonight the main slate at seven pm. Now. I
Speaker 1: know Frank tease this when I was out, and it's true.
Speaker 1: We aren't changing times. Uh. A lot is in Fox
Speaker 1: obviously at the moment. But I think starting next week,
Speaker 1: I believe we'll be going back to two hours uh
Speaker 1: and a little later on in the afternoon, not back
Speaker 1: as what we usually thought. So two hours good, later
Speaker 1: on the afternoon good. Really, no bad news here, just
Speaker 1: prepared for that. But the podcast, if it was gonna podcast,
Speaker 1: may come out a little bit later, all right, makes sense.

Speaker 1: well as a mine. Of course, we're just two guys
Speaker 1: here hanging out, trying to figure out what's going on
Speaker 1: in the world. What are you doing this weekend? Frank? Uh,
