Where to stand on all of that? 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.920 Remember when Twitter used to be likes and then became hearts? 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:54.400 Remember that? 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.440 Yeah? 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.720 I guess I just I never really, in my brain, 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.280 never really differentiated between likes and hearts. They're the same 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.360 thing to me. So in our group may rooms sometimes 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.400 we have shot glasses. We've got baseballs, we've gotten cats, 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.160 we've got all Santa Claus hats, got all kinds of 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.160 different stuff that where you can use a like, so 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:15.560 it doesn't really make a difference to me. 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.000 There you go, indifferent to emojis. 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.319 Scott Bagman as always, and today we're gonna get you 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:25.000 through all the latest and major League baseball. And certainly 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.040 last night was a little quiet on the home run front. 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.880 Only eight games, only eight home runs, so it was sparse. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.840 There's nothing changing with the ball, so it's fine. No, 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.520 now here's the question you had. I saw in the 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.480 sheet you had Goldman. Now, he did hit a home 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.440 run yesterday, but was that the holdover from Friday? And 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:42.160 it was? 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.880 I mean, I totally could have cheated and taken it, 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.000 but I hit a home around Friday. 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:48.800 He hit a homer on Friday, so I'm good. I 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.360 got I got. I think that's a second or third 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.400 homer for me, So I'm. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.760 Except this one. It's three. So I will let you 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.200 have it because it was in the sheet. 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.920 So you're laziness think it might be paying off half. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.600 You know, I just get the gold Schmid up there 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.000 every day, so it's fine. 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.200 I think you end up with about he end up 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.560 with like thirty two thirty two, Okay, that's good. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:10.079 All right. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.320 Yeah, it's not gonna win to the contest, but it's good. 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.000 By the way, we have officially uh mopped out. It 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.880 is a Fernando Tatis autograph jersey we're giving away. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.800 For the grand prize winner this year Ristine. 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.639 Auctions, So Fernando Tatis Junior autograph jersey. There's still time 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.600 to enter the home run contest. There's plenty of time 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.080 to catch up to the Niking, who I can only 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.960 assume is still at the top of the board. But 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.360 you can only do that over fantasypros dot Com slash chat. 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.520 So join the discord and then get in that home 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.720 run channel. All right, I'm gonna start the show off 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:42.200 by taking an l I was attacking Jake Odorizi yesterday 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.280 and he heard me. Apparently, I know how dare I 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.560 attack the guy with a nine era, But apparently he's 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.440 been hanging out with Justin Verlander at the end of 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.560 the bench talking about his mentality and the mental focus 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.560 about pitching. And it paid off because he was good. 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.160 And uh also, Jerry Pania hit two run home run 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.640 his first there, so they topped the Mariners. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.520 So Jacob Derizi kind of you know, set me on tilt. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.560 Yesterday, two doubles, three RBIs for Travis Darnault and a 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.000 victory for the Braves over the Mets. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.959 Wonder Franco with the hamstring returned to the lineup yesterday, 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:11.480 so that's good. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:16.320 But Dylan sees seven shutout innings woo wee eleven k's 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.400 my goodness, that's a spicy meatball. What do you make 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:20.240 of Dylan Ceese? 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:21.960 My man? Because this guy has taking it. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.560 To a hold of the level I thought a couple 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.400 of years ago he could grow into a nice pitcher. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.880 He is an ace right now and there's no arguing 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:29.320 about that. 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.480 I mean you could tell last year with all the strikeouts, 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.120 guy looked like a stud. Now I do object wholeheartedly 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.480 to his creepy mustache, but other than that, dude is 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.920 absolutely on fire. He's got a good team, a good 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:47.360 defense behind him as well. So I see this. I 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.240 see this streak continuing for our boy. Dylan sees he 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.120 has been outstanding and I've got him rostered in many leagues, 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:53.920 So I like it. 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:59.320 Yes, and unsettling mustaches are typically you know, they usually 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.480 goes hand to hand. Unsettling a mustache My favorite thing 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.440 is always in those eighties baseball, cars and stuff, everybody 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.480 had a mustache. Everybody had a mustache in the eighties. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.640 These guys are like twenty five years old and they. 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:13.680 Seem era appropriate the eighties mustache. But this, you know 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.920 now that it's all it's ironic mustache or it's curling 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.200 it up at the How big of a prep looks 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.919 like just a mustache, I'd look like a total. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.279 Creep, So I know, but you know what, I kind 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:26.599 of like beard or nasty. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.160 Yeah, next time I shave, I'll cut it down to 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:31.680 a mustache and give you a preview. 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.520 So yeah, there you go. There you go. Nice. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:38.080 That drives the subscriptions way up here in the YouTube channel. 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.640 All right, let's get to some of the injuries from yesterday. 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.000 The Astros activated Josel Tuove so he served the minimum 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.400 on his hamstring il Ryan Pressley begins his rehab assignment 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.560 on Monday, so that's good for the Astros getting their 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:55.000 closer back. Lou Trevino returning Tuesday today from COVID finally, 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.240 But here's the question. Is he returning to the closer role? 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.239 I say, no, Bogman menace. It's great, I mean great, 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.000 you're You're right. I it just depends. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.400 I know that there will be probably more people in 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.599 our chat here to uh, you know, listen to us 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.480 and to be in Oakland to watch a game because 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.479 they have like twenty two hundred people the other day. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.920 It's just getting pathetic there. Uh but uh, I I. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.440 Have rostered Luke Trevino and an Ale only, so I'm 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.520 I've got my fingers crossed that Danny Jimenez didn't take 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.760 that job away from him. But guy's been pitching great, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.479 so we'll have to figure out and the next time 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.279 the A's go late with the lead, which could be 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.920 a while, you know, we'll see. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:37.520 It could be, it could be. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.440 But I'll tell you what, man, I picked up Danny 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.680 Jimenez finally about a week ago, and I you know, 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.600 I'm on the other end of that spectrum hoping that 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:45.839 this guy's pitching really well. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.719 There is no reason should give up that job. So 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.320 we shall see. I've got a good one. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.440 Lose your job to injury, Joe, Come on, everybody knows that, right, 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:52.880 Come on. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.560 Closer jobs, I mean, weo if jesse L's got some 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.599 mustache conversation, her worst mustache cease or Sporer, our good 0:05:58.600 --> 0:05:59.479 friend Paul Sports. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.239 Wow, that's a tough one. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.720 I'm still gonna go Dylan Cease because I love Paul, 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.200 so although Paul probably want to be known as the 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.159 worst one, so that's that's the only thing I can say. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.760 Yeah, I'm guessing Paul doesn't look as good in that 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.400 South Side Jersey as Cease does, so I'm gonna go 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.440 with Paul as a creepier mustache. 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.880 Also, Pickles here, Cease looks better in that stash that 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:25.320 I manage. Joey p Wood challenge accepted, Pickles challenge accepting. 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.440 I think we have just like that Seinfeld episode where 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.640 that started that one season where they both did Jerry 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.800 and George have mustaches one day, we're gonna coordinate over 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.800 the summer. Bog and I are both gonna come on 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.480 with mustaches and we're gonna take a vacation from ourselves. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:39.000 That's right. 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.840 I mean, I just assumed, since you're Italian, you'll have 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.839 a mustache tomorrow. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:47.560 If you don't save tomorrow into the afternoon, it's a 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.279 one o'clock shadow if you're Italian, so it's not a 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:51.240 five o'clock shadow. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:51.920 It's fine. 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.520 Here's one from Wonkey Penguin, Joey Pek, a girl, magnificent mustache, 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.279 and immediately be a villain character in any BBC detective 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:00.440 show wrecked. 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.320 That is correct, So there you go. 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.560 All right, let's move on to some other news and notes. 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.479 In fact, let's do a little trivia here. I thought 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.080 this was fun. Which Cy Young Award winner has struck 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.920 out Mike Trout more times than any other pitcher? So 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.080 I'm gonna give you Peanuts and Cracker Jacks a clue 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.840 in this one today's trivia. So obviously it's somebody who 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.600 would face Mike Trout a lot in the last you know, 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.080 ten years, and you would think it's somebody in his 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:26.760 own division. 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.760 So that is your that is your clue. He pitched 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.680 almost his entire career for one team in the Al West, 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.720 So who's the guy that has struck out Mike Trout 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.960 more than anybody else potentially? And in the meantime, will 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.000 you guys marinate on that bad boy. Let's talk about 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.920 the MLB home run leaders. We've got Anthony Rizzo at 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.200 the top of the board at nine. CJ. 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.400 Cron who's been fantastic over at eight, along with Aaron Judge, 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.360 Austin Riley at seven, Jose Ramirez at seven too, So 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.800 some some names you expect, certainly judge, you know, Austin Riley, 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:57.520 Jose Ramirez. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.040 I think those are guys we all think, would you know, 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:00.400 be strong. CJ. 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.120 Krown and Orion had a couple in one game, but 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.000 still CJ. Crown is the one to me that we 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.240 all thought, Okay, he's going to Colorado, things will finally 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.520 break out, and then it did, and that it's really 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:11.040 carried over. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.360 I feel like CJ. Krown is almost like an underrated 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:14.239 asset and fantasy. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:15.840 I think you're right. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.400 I mean, you know, the lineup isn't great, it doesn't 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.040 look like it's going to be great for a while, 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.440 but you still are in Colorado. Fifty percent of your 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.400 games are played in the thin air. You know, pictures 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.520 have a hard time adjusting to Colorado a lot, so 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.360 you see better pitches and guys taking advantage of it. 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.199 I think when I looked, I believe it's a seven 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.640 to one home road split on his bombs, so not 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.400 a shock, but they're playing at home today, so listen 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.160 up for his name a little bit later in the show. 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.400 All right, and there you go. And and yes, we 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.319 will talk about Joe Ryan. I see people asking about DFS. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:52.559 The answer is gonna be yes. 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.960 But let's talk some more about some of the more 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.760 the other leaders right now in other categories, Let's talk 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.520 about the stone base leaders. Julia Rodrigez might have gotten 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.680 off to a slow start one home run, two thirty 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.240 eight batting average strike he's got thirty one strikeouts in 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.240 eighty plate appearances, but. 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:10.800 He's still got nine stolen bases. 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.240 So even though in Rohtal leagues, if he drafted Julio 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.960 with high hopes and he's killed you in some categories, 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.680 you thought he'd be, you know better, in the nine 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.800 stolen bases have been brilliant. He also made a terrific 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.280 play in the field yesterday. I feel like Julio is 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.720 going to be fine. I think I've gotten past that 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.240 initial first week of getting a little worried and then 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:29.880 the second week going, oh, no, are they going to 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.520 send it down. I think we're past that point now. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.480 I don't think he's getting sent down in all. I 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.240 think he keeps this job for the entire year. And 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.800 with the nine stolen bases, I mean, I don't like 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.400 to extrapolate but it feels like thirty is well within. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:44.880 His grass this year if he just stays healthy. 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:45.400 Yeah. 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.280 The Walsch and I were talking about this earlier and 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.839 he said, you know, obviously he follows all the minor 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.240 league guys closer than anyone, and he was talking about 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:57.520 how he did not expect this, you know, all all 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.480 of these stolen bases from Julio, and he said, I 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.559 would probably put him down for twenty five for the 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.680 rest of the year only because he has nine already. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.600 I think the more he hits, the less he's going 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.400 to be willing to steal, and the homers are going 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.920 to start to come. And we know that just by 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.280 watching that one, you know, compilation of all the called 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.520 third strikes on him because he's a rookie, Eleven of 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.679 those strikeouts were called looking and should not have been 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.520 called looking, So you know, you cut those out and 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.319 he's at twenty strikeouts, still not great, but much better 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.080 than thirty one whatever he's at now. So I have 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.000 no reservations about Julio and his success. 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.520 Shout out to Ryan Eberley from The Peanuts and Cracker Jacks. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.800 He got the trivia question right. Who has struck out 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.840 like Torot more than anybody. Felix Hernandez, King Felix, you 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.200 want to take a interest in how many times there? 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:53.040 Twenty seven? Twenty seven times, So King Felix once upon 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.360 a time. Pretty pretty good. 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.760 Dylan seasonly needs five more starts against the Angels to 0:10:59.160 --> 0:10:59.640 catch up. 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.000 Let's do some more leaders here for a bit, and 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.200 let's talk a little bit about the strikeouts on the 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.600 other side here, let's talk about the strikeouts for the pictures. 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.400 Corbyn Burds at the top of forty three, Max Schurz 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.800 with forty two, Shane McClanahan coming off another good start 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.800 at forty two, Kevin Gossman at forty one. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:20.960 So those are the guys in the forties. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.400 And then right after that you got Cease Rodan and 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.000 Kyle Wright rounding out that grouping. 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.079 So just like we all predicted Kyle right, just like. 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.240 We all predicted Well, McClanahan, I think was one of 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.680 those pictures that I think if you look at. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.719 This group, Burns and Sures. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.160 Or were two of the elite pictures that I felt 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.280 really good about going into this year. And then all 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.839 the guys that are kind of floating around here, Joe Musgrove, 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.600 Dylan Cees, Kevin Gosman, Shane McClanahan. All of these guys 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.760 were the guys we kept talking about. Build your rotation 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.640 around a couple of these guys instead of one of 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.880 the big dogs, and you'll probably have a more well 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.079 rounded team. And so far, at least after the first 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.480 month of the seasons in the books, it appears like 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.800 that's exactly the strike for success so far. What are 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.559 your thoughts, I mean, it's absolutely right. It's funny because 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.079 in my like entry leagues and my il leagues and 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.040 my home leagues and stuff, these are the pictures I have. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.480 I have CC, I have McClanahan, I picked up Kyle 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.280 Wright in a couple of spots. And in my you know, 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.720 major publication TGFBI, my TARF leagues and all that stuff 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.319 I went for. I swung for the fences with deGrom 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.720 and Chris Sale and Jack Clarity. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.040 That's my TGFBI team. 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.320 Show is de Grom, Jack Clarity, Chris Sale and oh, 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.560 by the way, I have Eloy, So I think I 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.080 have two open bench spots. It is just pathetic what 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.560 I'm doing with my TGFBI team. But for the for 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.080 the rest of them. I went, you know, one higher guy, 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:48.840 and then McClanahan sees guys of that nature. So I 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.319 have a lot of Frankie Montage shares. Who's up here. 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.480 We talked about Iavaldi a lot in the preseason. I've 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.560 got him in a couple spots. So and I have 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.640 Logan Gilbert everywhere. I think my most roster players Gilbert. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.280 So happy with how the pitching is turning out. Right now, 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.560 we know it's a long season and it's obviously not 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.280 gonna stay stable because it never is. It's like handling 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.599 starting pitching is like handling uranium. You know, got to 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:13.240 go on a list. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.920 Yeah, I left the I left some uranium on the counter. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.480 I gotta after send it to pa guys. Six guys 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.240 that four quality starts. One person has five quality starts. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.160 You want to take a guess who that is, without looking, 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:29.080 no cheating. 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:33.199 Five quality starts? Is is that Logan Gilbert? 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.360 No, it is not Logan Gilbert. Actually it's not even 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.240 Logan web it's no one named. It's not even Logan, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:44.400 No Logans. Joe Wells's outstanding. I don't have any shares 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.400 of must Grove because that was Welsh's guy. So he 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.560 was getting him before I was in most leagues. 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.280 I play in most leagues with Welsh, so I think 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.760 I may have one Muskrove share across my like thirteen 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.600 teams disappointed. 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.880 All right, let's go to the stat heroes from last night. Obviously, 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.559 we'll start with the pitchers and deal sees whe there's 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.360 eleven K's zero walks. See that's the thing too, Like 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.040 if you're gonna strike out eleven kays, I don't want 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.040 eleven guys. I don't want to see five walks, the 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:09.880 zero walks. 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.480 And I know Trout was cerebral against him, but there 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.560 was a great at bat where Trout uh with down 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.000 oh two, worked him back to three to two, and 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.480 then he's just pipe ninety eight down the middle, and 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:22.720 Trout's just tough, you know. 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:23.720 Just tough to catch up. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.680 Steven Matt's six score listenings for him, no walks. Four 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.240 K's joke, Jacoberreici again, he always truck got three guys, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.960 So I'm not like, I'm not like saying he's back 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:33.800 or anything like that. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.960 Christian Hobbier starts for the Astros tonight. 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.760 Jaco Deerzi, you got like a reprieve Okay, you didn't 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.760 get balanced in the rotation against the Mariners, and the 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.800 Mariners team doesn't have a Chanigher right now, Zach Greanky, 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:46.040 one whole strikeout. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.880 Congratulations Zach Granky. It's amazing. It's like, look good coming 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.960 Jamie Moyer in his old age, right he is? 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.320 He is and he does not care either. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.640 Like that's I mean, that's what annoys me about Granky 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.880 but also makes me love Granky is the dude does 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.080 no outside noise. It doesn't matter. It's his own world. 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.840 That's all he's living in. That's all he cares about. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.000 So he looked good yesterday. He gave up the first 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.400 inning bond, the Goldie and that's it. That's all he did. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.360 So my free home run, I will take three hits. 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:16.840 By the way, in that game, he gave up one 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.040 earned run, no walks. And this is the art of pitching. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.640 It's a lost art form and Zach Braanky's still doing it. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.720 Does it Does it help in fantasy? Not really. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.200 I mean a little bit in the ratios, sure, but 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:29.880 I mean it's still a bad team. 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.600 Drew Rasmussen a guy that we like it only three k's. 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.080 Last night, so kind of disappointing start there. Max Fried 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.360 six k's to earn six innings against the Mets. Zach Gallon, 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.960 who welf did like last night he was good five 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.640 k zero walks to earn Chris Bassett was good. But 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.360 in the lost Chris Bassett's been outstanding. I feel like 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:47.920 he's taken his game to a whole other level. And 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.320 this is again, you know, will you hang out with 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.280 great Hall of Fame pitchers like Max Scherzer or like 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.880 Justin Verlander? And if you're not picking their brain constantly 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.880 about pitching, like what are you doing with your life? 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.160 Like don't you want to be great? H Here are 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.200 the guys that actually hit the eight home runs. We 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:03.920 could just give them to you. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.760 David Peralta one home run last se Glabor Torres, I 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:10.560 want to pause on him. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.920 Two for four, one home run, three ribies, one run. 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:14.960 Labor Torres is not. 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.680 That far removed from an enormous season, Bob, It's only 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:18.480 a couple of years ago. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.160 He is still very young. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.560 He's one of these guys I continue to say, let's 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.120 take a chance, let's take a shot on Glabor Torres. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.080 This year, people got mad because April was terrible now 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.240 we're in May. It's a good game yesterday, but it's 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.960 only one good game. How long of a stretch does 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.120 Glabor Torres have to put together, in your opinion, to 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.960 regain the confidence of fantasy managers out there. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:43.960 I think it's got to be a couple of months, 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.880 and I don't he's not there yet, right, Like, he's 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.040 not doing terrible. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.080 Months, so not weeks. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.640 So you like a three week stretch, doesn't no two months? 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.920 Yeah, well look you're you know, well, he's hitting two 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.400 thirty nine and he's only got three hundred. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.080 Like the Edwin James Old most of like podcast hosts today, 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:02.640 you're just tough. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.679 I got to get through to these keids. I got 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.880 to teach these kids. That Bill Belichick version is my favorite. 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.480 But yeah, man, he's got it, He's got it. You're 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.520 not the only smart guy. Ino Sarrus we had on 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.280 our show, and he was a big Glabor turnaround guy 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.400 this season too. I think I have one or two 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.960 shares and I have many of Labor, But I don't 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.680 think he's getting back to, you know, his outstanding year. 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.320 But like you said, he's he's very very young. 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.920 He's still only twenty five, so there's more than enough 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.000 time for him to come back and put up these numbers. 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.680 I just if you're expecting a thirty eight ninety year 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:44.800 with ninety six runs, you know that's not what you're 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.480 drafting labor tore Us for. You're gonna be happy with twenty. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:48.840 Well, you know what. 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.399 I saw him as an opportunity because he was being underdrafted, 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.359
