1 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: Leading off starts right now on Fantasy Pros. I am 2 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: Chris Welsh. That right there, that's Kelly Kirby. It's a 3 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: wonky Wednesday. When we say it's a Wonkee Wednesday around 4 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: these parts, it doesn't mean that things are going haywire crazy. 5 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe some things might be going haywire in 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: the background a little bit, Kelly, just the time event, 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean it's anything bad. It actually means 8 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: the opposite. It's the best. It means we get a 9 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: little bit of extra juice on our home runs today 10 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: and I get the hangout with the wonky penguin. Kelly, 11 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: what's up? Not a lot? 12 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: I was gonna give you a twenty two minute standing 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: at like ovation just to you know, take some time. 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: But I just will tell everyone I have six dogs 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: right now in a very small square footage. A friend 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: of mine is having kind of an emergency surgery, so 17 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to keep them as quite as I can 18 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: for the people listening. But YouTubers, I can't help you 19 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: if I have to mute and turn around and yell 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: a lot. 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: So I do think we could make it into like 22 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: a drinking game. And of course it's very early so 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: we can make it maybe coffee or shots of espresso 24 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: or something that we were sitting right before the show 25 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: started and then we're just about to go and I 26 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: hear and I was like, there we go. So if 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: you hear dog sounds, take a drink, Yeah, take some 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: caffeine and something like that. I'm all for it. I'm 29 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: all for it. I've got some dog that thinks the 30 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: pool man is hades himself is the devil and just 31 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: has to scream, and the dog screams, so it happens. 32 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: It's the world of podcasting. But Kelly Kirby in the 33 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: house for Milwaukee Wednesday, and we got a lot to cover. 34 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: I got a home run board, by the way, I 35 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: can tease that we got an update and the home 36 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: run board, which would be nice to check out. But 37 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: let's get right into it. Christian Yelich yesterday hit a 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: four hundred and ninety nine foot home run, which was 39 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: the longest home run of twenty twenty two. And for 40 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: some reason, I'm very skewed by video games sometimes, like 41 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: I forget maybe every like six months. My brain just 42 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: resets that we don't have five hundred and twenty five 43 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: foot homers. You know, I think old MLB, the Show 44 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: and MVP Baseball and everything just screwed up my brain 45 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: when I think about it, because I hear four ninety nine, 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. Well, it's 47 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: so good. It is the highest this year, and it's 48 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: the third farthest ever tracked on stat cast. Kelly and 49 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: Christian Yelich putting in some I know, that's what I read. 50 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: It was. 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 3: That's surprising. 52 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: That's very surprising to me too. It was the third 53 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: highest in the stat Cast era. So Christian Yelich, so 54 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: far on the season, he's had so many comparisons to 55 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger him, those two have fallen in the same realm. 56 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: They're not because Bellinger has been completely worthless. Yelich is 57 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: quietly putting together a season that we actually might be 58 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: able to justify where we were taking him. You know, 59 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: post one hundred, around one hundred's twelve homers, sixteen stolen bases. 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I would have never guessed eighty five runs on the year. 61 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: A little, tiny outside shot might be able to get 62 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: to one hundred, hitting right around two sixty, double digit 63 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: walk percentage. I mean, Kelly, Christian Yelich kind of became 64 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: useful again. He's just not elite, right. 65 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got burned by him last year so badly 66 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: that I was just refused to draft him anywhere this year, 67 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: and I have kind of kept tabs on him. And 68 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 2: as a player, I've always I've always really actually enjoyed him, 69 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 2: even as a Cubs fan. So I'm glad to see 70 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: him doing well. I just and I'm glad for fantasy 71 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 2: managers who picked him up way late in drafts. But yeah, 72 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: that those numbers actually just surprised me incredibly ones. 73 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: You know what's also as interesting is I kind of 74 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: feel like Christian Yelich is a guy that we all have. 75 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: This Usually sometimes it comes from like us not owning 76 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: players that we might not check in on guys a 77 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: whole lot, But y'all, you also have guys that just 78 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: what they are in your mind is already done, like 79 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: it's already over, Like you don't you don't need to 80 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: really go and check in. You don't need to. There's 81 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: no highlights of it. But Yelich has quietly been kind 82 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: of fixing himself. If he started off the season around 83 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: two thirty, he hit two thirty in March April he 84 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: hit two thirty in May, but then June and July 85 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: he was right around two ninety's dip down in August 86 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: back down, but it's in the two fifties, and what 87 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: you're seeing is an overall improvement of two fifty one 88 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: in the first half to two seventy eight in the 89 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: second half, and a significant amount of stolen bases, though 90 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: thirteen of the sixteen came in the first half of 91 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: the year, and the second half is registered almost about 92 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: half of what the first half has. So if you 93 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: can you know who's on first, you can follow that. 94 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: It's just the stolen bases have come down when they 95 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 1: were a lot more significant in the first half. But 96 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: he's still showing off the power, he's showing off the 97 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: speed and feels like one of those guys we might 98 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: be able to buy back into next year. Is because 99 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: he's going to come at a reduced cost. 100 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, if there's enough of a discount, I think 101 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: I would be willing to go back into, you know, 102 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: rostering him and kind of writing out because he's I 103 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: like when he's a consistent player. Obviously everyone does, but 104 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: there are times where he swoons to dis agree that 105 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: he does and even look like his back is functioning 106 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: at all. 107 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: So it's a good point. But you know, when his 108 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: back is going, he's dropping him four ninety nine, Big Dogs, 109 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: Big Dogs. An interesting group of players that he might 110 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: be around. We could argue some of the rookies. So 111 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: I thought, let's get a little bit of a rookie 112 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: update on the top guys you'd put on here that 113 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: Tristan Cassis was called up, made his major league debut. 114 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: Eccentric guy. I don't know everyone saw his debut. When 115 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: he was got to the stadium. He took off his 116 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: shirt and he just had some shorts on and he 117 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: walked out and he went out onto the field and 118 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: just laid in the grass in the sun, and some 119 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: players were like, what are you doing. He's just being him, 120 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: being his guy. And he made his major league debut. 121 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: He goes one for four with a homer. He had 122 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: three strikeouts. But also did you see the controversy of 123 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: the guy where he hits the bomb and the guy 124 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: gets the ball and won't give the ball back like 125 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: he was holding a hostage. He was holding the home 126 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: run ball hostage from Cossas and there was like ushers 127 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: trying to figure something out I didn't. I don't know 128 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: if I saw what the ending was to it, but 129 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, I was thinking about this. This is going 130 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: in completely different tangent, but man like, baseball fans have 131 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 1: some of just the worst, like like dirt bag fans, 132 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: And I was like, football is hyper aggressive. Like when 133 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: I think of football fans, I think, you know, they're 134 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: all drunk, they're all fighting, they're all doing this. But 135 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: baseball fans are just like there's just like a lot 136 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: of bad people. The video of the guy the player 137 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: throwing the ball to all the girls and the guy 138 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: who a soda jersey comes in and steals the ball, 139 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: Zach Hambell. In general, this guy, I don't know why 140 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: this keeps happening, but I guess that's a whole nother 141 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: side story. But Tristan Coss is showing off a little bit. 142 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: Any early impressions on being able. 143 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: To get to see him, I haven't gotten to see him. 144 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: I was busy last night, so I didn't I missed 145 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: his intro. But I do love you know, people are 146 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: always like, hey, act like you've been here before, And 147 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 2: I love when guys are like I worked my entire 148 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: existence to get to this moment, it's like in the 149 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 2: field and get some sign that's awesome. But otherwise, no, 150 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: all I know is that Gems McSorley called him for 151 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,559 Speaker 2: his home run call. So that was an impressive shot. 152 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's very true. So on the 153 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: other rookie side, I just got me thinking with Tristan 154 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: Cossa is coming up. The positive is they said they 155 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: are going to let him run every day. Obviously not 156 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: going to let him exhaust his prospect eligibility if that's 157 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: even a possibility at this point, but they said they 158 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: are going to play him every day. Has we're not 159 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: going to come back. Bobby Dollback was sent down, So 160 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: this is Costas's job to roll big power. Makes better 161 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: contact than Dollback. Three strikeouts not great, but it's not 162 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: something I'm crazy worried about. So Costas is going to 163 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: be one of those guys who's going to be a 164 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: good source of power if you're looking at it for 165 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: your corner infield, and he's going to get every day 166 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: at Pats and that's what's a big key. But it 167 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: got me thinking about the other rookies, and we've had 168 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: two different sides. So Corvin Carroll over the last week. 169 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: Corby Kiel's essentially been here for a week, hitting only 170 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: four for eighteen with one run, one RBI. In hitting 171 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: two twenty two off of a very nice hot start, 172 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: he has sat where I don't think we've seen Gunner 173 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: really sit. Gunner in that same period of time nine 174 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: for thirty one, two runs, a homer, two RBI is 175 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: still in baseball hitting two ninety. So the infield position 176 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: player has been much more valuable. Are you out on Carol. 177 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna even ask you Gunner, because I think 178 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: Gunner has been more than serviceable right now. But when 179 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: you see Carrol's early stat line here to twenty two, 180 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: he's getting to play mostly every day outside of an 181 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: occasional sit on a lefty. Are you moving on from 182 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: Corman Carroll right now? And I don't know if you've 183 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: got to pivot for it. 184 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: If it's a redraft and I'm like in the playoffs, 185 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: then yeah, there are enough outfielders. I would just want 186 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: to protect more of my average. I think, like, I'm 187 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 2: not going to chase him doing high counting stats for September, 188 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm out in that regard obviously. In keeper, 189 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 2: if I'm not in the playoffs then for you know, yeah, 190 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: I would write him out for the rest of the year. 191 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: But no, that's the thing in draft leagues for me, 192 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: where you know, they call up all these guys and 193 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: it's again it's kind of that like, oh, I want him, 194 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: I want I want the best version of him on 195 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: my team, and they do this like sort of you know, 196 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: the four for eighteen or whatever. So yeah, so I'm 197 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: out on him just but again, I'm out on a 198 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 2: lot of rookie call ups if I'm in the playoffs, 199 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: just I don't trust them. 200 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: It's it's still to continue. Like the Burn and Churn, 201 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: You burn and Churton players, you drop guys that had 202 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: big names for the rookie guys that came up. Cormin 203 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: Carroll has struggled. McCarthy's been amazing, you know, that's been 204 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: a big one. McCarthy. I I think Bubba had shared this, 205 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: Bubba or Mike Kurlin over the last thirty days that 206 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: Jake McCarthy leads the league in stolen bases. He's been 207 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: your leader in stolen bases here. So Burn and Churn, 208 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: So the same thing we would apply to the Wit Maryfield. 209 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: Why Wit Maryfield would be a guy we would cut 210 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: for Corbick Carroll, Corbyn Carroll for the next guy. That's 211 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: what you would do. Here, interesting conversation going on in 212 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: the chap where this is coming out about the ball, 213 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: where Gokards is like no obligation to give up the ball, 214 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: and it looks like Jim said that deal on the 215 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: table with the interviewer was a Cossus signed bat, a 216 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: Bogart signed ball, and an item to be named later 217 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: for the home run ball. So here's my question, M 218 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem cutting the deal. If I, 219 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: let's say I would have catch Tristacassus's ball, I'm one 220 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: hundred percent going to give him the ball. But it's 221 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: definitely like, hey, you know, let's give me a sign Jersey, 222 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: give me something like that. I'm down for that, But 223 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: I'm not a I wouldn't be I wouldn't be a 224 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: hold hostage type of person a Kelly, would you hold hostage? 225 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: Would you hold a hostage for you know, a couple 226 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: things like they said, or obviously if this guy didn't 227 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: take that deal, this sounds like someone who's trying to 228 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: hit eBay and trying to put it out on the 229 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: auction block. What would be what would be your mo here? 230 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: If you caught Tristicassa's first career home run ball. 231 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: My first thought, honestly, because I'd give it back. I 232 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: would probably give it back for nothing. At ball means 233 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: nothing to me like it and it means everything to him, 234 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: So I don't see what I would need. But my 235 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: first thought was I was just like, yeah, I mean 236 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 2: he could sign a different ball, or just even honestly, 237 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 2: like a picture with him and like a thank you note. Look, 238 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: I would just want to be like, thank you for 239 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: giving my ball back, here's my autograph, and here's a picture. 240 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: If I get the sunflower seeds and maybe like a 241 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: prep seed and then like a picture, that would be cool, 242 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: Like yeah, I know I kind of agree with you, 243 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: Like I have a guilt and a shame where I 244 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to like I couldn't be the person 245 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 1: that was like, what do you got for me? I 246 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: might be like, you know, here's the ball. Could I 247 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: maybe get like an autograph jersey or a bat or something, 248 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: and hey, I really like Xander, Like I would probably 249 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: go that level. But if they told me no, I'd 250 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: probably be like, Okay, you know here I would probably 251 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: be a pushover like that because I wouldn't be able 252 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: to take him take it away from him. 253 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 2: But you know, you know, for me, life gets a 254 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 2: lot more fun when I don't look at like everything 255 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: from what's the financial worth of this? And maybe it's 256 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: a female thing. I don't know, but I just really 257 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: I'm like that again, like I said, yeah, the ball's nice, 258 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 2: but it just means nothing to me. Yeah, I caught 259 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: his first home run, and I'm I'm a jackass for 260 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: keeping it. 261 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, if I caught like a Corbyn Carroll the first 262 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: home run or something like that, And I was like, 263 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: the diavs should probably just want to give me season tickets, 264 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: like it wouldn't even be where. They're like, even if 265 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: you don't catch it, you can have season tickets, the 266 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: tickets with Boston that wouldn't work in other places. 267 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 2: So I can see Arizona. I can see Arizona doing 268 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: like we're gonna do a drawing for season tickets and 269 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: then surprise, everyone here gets them. 270 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's like one of those scams where it's 271 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: like one person's gonna win, but really everybody wins because 272 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: we have to get people. That's actually always been my thought. 273 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: By the way, my capitalist mind doesn't necessarily work. I'm 274 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: always shocked at the team, the not great teams, like 275 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks of Pirates. Why they wouldn't just give out 276 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: free tickets, Like is the money really going to be 277 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: made on the seat? No, the money is made on 278 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: the parking, it's made on the food, it's made on 279 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: the items that are going to buy. Just get people 280 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: in states. Just give them, you know, give them free tickets, 281 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: like it's the Arizona Fall League. Just let them get in, 282 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: especially for bad teams that have ten thousand people in 283 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: the stadium. Don't worry about the ticket prices. Worry about 284 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: your beer because that's, you know, be the thing marked up. 285 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: I agree entirely, and I think that Doc in the 286 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: chat there has the best option that he would make 287 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: a deal. But for something really weird. He wants a 288 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 2: bag of only banana runts signed by the nighttime janitor 289 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: at the field. 290 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 3: Like that, that seems perfect. 291 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, you're like a like a what 292 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: is it called, like a writer? You know, you're just 293 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: like I want a bag of blue m and ms 294 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: and then I want only cherry Pepsis that have been 295 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: chilled to this degree. I like that. I like doing 296 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: like a writer. Yeah one, yeah, I would probably want 297 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: to do we move on from. 298 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: This, but like, you know what, actually you can do 299 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 3: a whole podcast on that. 300 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: We can do a whole podcast on it. But I 301 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: just thought of like the one unique thing I would 302 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: want because it'd be fun to get, you know, a 303 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: baseball or something, but take batting practice. That would be one. 304 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: I would be like, can I take batting But then 305 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: they would say no, and they'd be like, Okay, here's 306 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: the here's the ball. 307 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: I could sign up for that as long as they 308 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: promised that I get to use the team trainer when 309 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: I throw my back out. 310 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually, you know what, maybe that's all you say, Like, 311 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: I just need to see the team trainer. That's it. 312 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: That's all that I want. Can I please see the doctor? 313 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: That's all I want? 314 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: The doctor might be the only thing that I asked 315 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: for as well. All right, moving on here from the rookies. 316 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: A lot of rookie conversation. The crux of it is 317 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: the guy is struggling. Move on, You're okay, Carol, You're okay, 318 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: Donnard Henderson. If there was a better hand out there, 319 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: go for it, but you don't need to hold on 320 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: too tight. On the injury front, Max Sure's are is 321 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: placed on the fifteen day IL. Earliest return date is 322 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: now September nineteenth. Helly, this is big, no bueno. 323 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is terrible, and especially because the Braves just 324 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: caught him, right or did they pass them? That is 325 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 2: not what nuts fans want to hear. And today I 326 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: miss Joe and Dan and watching their said faces discuss that. 327 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's fun watching the met fans struggle and hurt. 328 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: And hey, by the way, not the picture you would 329 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: have thought that would have got hurt. Jacob Grom, I 330 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: know so. 331 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: I mean one took the whole first half off. The 332 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 2: other one's kind of taking the second. 333 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: Half be great. I truly hope that he. 334 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: Can come back for the playoffs, but from a fantasy perspective, 335 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: that is terrible. 336 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: Timing their powers combined, they'll make the number one pitcher 337 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: in baseball when they're all put together. We put those 338 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: seasons together. Other On the injury front, Starling Marte out 339 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: us to be another met Ones out of Game one 340 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: on Wednesday with a hand injury. By the way, make 341 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: sure you are tight tight in on making your roster 342 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: moves and your you're setting your lineups in daily leagues, 343 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: because I forgot to do it last night. Luckily up 344 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: earlier doing stuff for the show. I literally got my 345 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: rosters in probably five minutes before the double header started, 346 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: and I had a Jacob de Grom share and that 347 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: would have got locked. Because you know how ridiculous. It 348 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: still pisses me off that all of these systems haven't 349 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: figured a great way out. Maybe someone does it, but 350 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: if a guy's on a double header and they don't 351 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: pitch till the latter half of it or something, they're 352 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: just gonna lock everybody. They lock everybody. So just make 353 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: sure you're in it and make sure you're on all 354 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: of it. This is just a reminder for every single 355 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: day for everybody to get your stuff in and set 356 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: your rosters, maybe the night before so you don't want 357 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: to have a playoff hit for you. Xanda Bogart's left 358 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: Tuesday's game with back spasms. Maybe that's why he can't 359 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: They can't get an autographed ball for the costs thing 360 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: because he left. Louis Robert got hit in the hand. Jesus, 361 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: I can't even get through the Louis Robert got hit 362 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: in the hand with the Logan Gilbert pitch. X rays 363 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: are negative and it may be only a contusion. My god, 364 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: who is more prone to crazy injury stuff? Is it 365 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: Louis Robert or Gean Carlos Stanton? They are magnets, magnets 366 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: two balls hitting the skin. 367 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: I mean one hundred percent, like you, you know, I 368 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: do the sheet every day, so I go to the 369 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 2: injuries and I honestly did not know if that was 370 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: new or not, Like I had to click into it. 371 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 3: It's like, I was, like, it's just like an old date. 372 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 3: It's like, is this new? Yeah? 373 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: And it hit him on the same hand he's been 374 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: having the issues with and it's just I don't know. 375 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 2: But Stanton is so he's got a longer track history 376 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: of weirdness. Like, but I mean, Robert's coming on hard. 377 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: He's coming on hard and fast. And you know what, listen, 378 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: I was, I'm a I love Luis Robert. I think 379 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: the talent is there that we are borderlining into a 380 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: place with him where he is so inconsistently on the 381 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: field and he's so hurt with different things left and right. 382 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: He cannot find a rhythm on the field to tap 383 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: into that talent that you know what was it? Bisi 384 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: Rizza had said dealing Robert in April was the best 385 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: move they made all year. You know, I kind of 386 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: have thought he was underrated in Dynasty, but I'm really 387 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: starting to kind of push off a little bit, like 388 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm getting over it. Like it can be really frustrating 389 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: and dynash, especially when it's not like I mean, de 390 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: Gram is frustrating in that this happens, but when da 391 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: Gram comes back instantly, the top guy, Robert cannot find 392 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: that rhythm and he's down to seven in the order 393 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: today I think it is, and he was the other day. 394 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: So Robert is, well, we're not going to be I 395 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: don't actually he was in the drafting stuff, but I 396 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: don't think he's actually going to be in there after 397 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: being hit in the hand. But we'll see. But it's 398 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: just increasingly frustrating and hitting seven and not getting any rhythm. 399 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: It's crazy. Also, Adam Euler placed on the fifteen day 400 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: IL with a rib issue. Mike Mayer is still around 401 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: and thinking about baseball when he can, and when he 402 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: comes across something, he shares it and he immediately shared 403 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: this yesterday and this was he tagged you me and 404 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't know why I tag Joe. Joe doesn't even 405 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: understand baseball right now, couldn't tell you a thing. He said, 406 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: perfect stat for leading off And this is from Jesse 407 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: Dowdrie and the tweet was no rookie in National's history 408 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: has more doubles as the second batter in a game 409 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: on Tuesdays against left handed starters. And Joey Mnesas and 410 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: he said, it's a perfect leading off stat. And you 411 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: know what, it's a perfect leading on stat. 412 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 2: Once again, standing ovation, Mike Mayor, thank you so much 413 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: for your help. 414 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm also I'm a big fan, you know. Okay, 415 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: So here's something I would trade that costas ball. I 416 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: want to meet the guys that curate these stats. I 417 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: want to find the stat curators that find the like 418 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, and you know, mornings with the seventy eight 419 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: degree weather or lower. This guy has the most homers 420 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: in the month of August. Like, I want to meet 421 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: those guys that that's all they do all that. I 422 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,479 Speaker 1: want to go in the dungeon that little dungeons. I 423 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: expect them to be similar in look to either one 424 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: of two things, the guy in office space, then there's 425 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: me steepler that, or it'll be looking like Grandma's Boy 426 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: with the hacker, you know, the video game designer, where 427 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: they're in a room with four hundred televisions in front 428 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: of them, listening to techno in there and they're just 429 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: pulling stats. I assume it's one of those two people, right. 430 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think yes, you've narrowed it down to the 431 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 2: only two possible characters. So if one of them wants 432 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 2: to be on the show, sometimes they should call in, 433 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: well we'll just take a snapshot of him and be great. 434 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: Or they could just be a totally normal person in 435 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: a house, just like doing math. 436 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 2: Maybe doctor Glenn and his on the site is that 437 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 2: that's what he does. 438 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what, maybe that bit i've 439 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: seen doctor Glenn say, Doctor Glenn set up actually does 440 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: have a little bit of vibes of those stats. Doctor 441 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: Glenn just putting it out there. Here's a fun fact 442 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: from Joe PEZNASKI Did I say that? 443 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: Right? 444 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: Ponanski Shohyozani has a one fifty one OPS plus and 445 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: a one fifty six Era A plus, and that OPS 446 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: plus is basically Jeff Bagwell over his career, and the 447 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: ERA plus is basically Pedro Martinez over his career. And 448 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: he said, I'm just not even sure what world this 449 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: even is. Well, that's a world where Aaron Judge is 450 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: minus twelve hundred for the MVP. 451 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 2: I'm and I don't I don't know if he was 452 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: even commenting on at the MVP thing. It's just just 453 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 2: think about that for one second. You have a Jeff 454 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 2: Bagel and a Patron Martinez mixed. That is a little crazy. 455 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that Actually those are my favorite. I like the 456 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: comparisons when we can start to be like, all right, 457 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: Otani is this hitter in this pitcher? You put those 458 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: players together, and then we can justify that any one 459 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: single player is better than that. Just because he's gonna 460 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: do it every year doesn't make it not the most 461 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: valuable thing in baseball, even if we had to give 462 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: it for ten straight years. I just want to point 463 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: that out again. Just because it becomes the norm does 464 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: not make it not exceptional. And I don't understand why 465 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: people don't realize that. Uh this day in baseball. In 466 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, Mark McGuire, who had become the third 467 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: player in history to reach sixty home runs, hit his 468 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: record tying sixty first against Cubs pitcher Mike Morgan. Mike Morgan. 469 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: I grew up on Mark McGuire. We talked about this. 470 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: Who what was the player you grew grew up on? 471 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: Like mine was Mark McGuire, just pointing Ryan Samberg. 472 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: Ryan Samberg okay, yeah, and Greg Medics. 473 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: Were you in Like, were you in the Chicago area. 474 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 2: No, I lived in Iowa, so we got the WGN, 475 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 2: so we had all the Cubs games from birth to forever. 476 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: It was Ryan Sanbergen, it was Greg Medics. And when 477 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 2: they refused to sign Greg Medics, that is when I 478 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: learned about general managers and how awful they are, and like. 479 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 3: I remember that distinctly being a turning point in my life. 480 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's always interesting the person that you grew 481 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 1: up on, Like you see it right then here go. 482 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: I love that you guys are sharing this, Like doctor 483 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: Glenn said, chip Or you had Doc for visa, you 484 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: had Musual and Gibson for cards. You know, I grew 485 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: up in the Bay Area, so as big as Bonds was, 486 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: McGuire was bigger in the Bay Area. McGuire was a 487 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: physical and also even just physically. But I've told it 488 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: a couple of times, but my whole family were A's fans, 489 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: so it was a big Mark McGuire times. Anytime I 490 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: see a Mark McGuire's stat, I think about that, and 491 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: then I think about the first year I moved to 492 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,479 Speaker 1: Arizona and we went to a spring training game at 493 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: the Giants stadium. It was A's versus Giants spring train 494 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: and then Mark McGuire hit one out of the stadium 495 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: in this spake training game. 496 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 2: I just think about that, and I just want to 497 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: add that, like, I graduated from high school in ninety eight, 498 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: and so I was a freshman in college and I 499 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 2: remember I was saying, I was literally in my dorm 500 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 2: room watching this game happen, and you know, I'm a 501 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 2: Cubs fan, so you know, there's a cardinal and I 502 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 2: actually cried a little because of just like how amazing 503 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: it was, like just you know, he broke this record, 504 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: like he just did this whole thing, and it was 505 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: it was crazy. So yeah, and also that he did 506 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 2: it against the Yeah, he tied it. I'm sorry, but 507 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 2: he did it against the Cubs too, which made perfect 508 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 2: sense to me. 509 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: So there is nothing. There's nothing wrong ever with romanticizing baseball. 510 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: We all can romanticize baseball. I even mention it to 511 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: you and people start sharing. That's the best stuff. That's 512 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: the that's the thing that makes baseball great. Hey, here's 513 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: a trivia question. I mentioned it earlier. Christian Yelich that 514 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: four hundred ninety nine foot homer was the second longest 515 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: hit at a course at Coursefield since twenty fifteen. Which 516 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: one of his former teammates hit the longest? And how 517 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: long was it? Can you guess? Can the Chatney guess? 518 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 3: I meaning, did he ever play with Prince Fielder? Or 519 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 3: was that too long ago? 520 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: Oh? 521 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 3: I don't think that was too long. 522 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they crossed paths. That's a former teammate 523 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: of Christian Yelich who has a higher one. It is 524 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: not hun A renfro. 525 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 3: Oh, it's a former teammate, Okay, than Stanton. 526 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: It is Stanton, that's right. Can you guess how long 527 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: that home run was? So it was longer than the 528 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: four ninety nine Jim says Stanton five point fifteen, and 529 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: it is Stanton. That is an incorrect number. 530 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 3: I want to say five twenty five. 531 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: I want to do prices right here. This would be great, ye, 532 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: like being one dollar. He one dollar. Jean Carlos Stanton 533 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: hit it on August sixth, twenty sixteen. We have another 534 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: five to fifteen guests. Everyone's guessing five to fifteen. It 535 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: actually was ooh. Just Bob is very very close. He 536 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: says five oh four. It was five oh six with 537 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: the Marlins when he was in the Marlins in twenty sixteen, 538 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: Just reminding everybody at that time that outfield was Christian 539 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: yellich On, Carlos Stanton and when Marcelo's when we did 540 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: know Marcelo Zuna was garbage. Quite a team, quite a 541 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: team that Mark. 542 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 2: And Jose Fernandez was pitching, Like just yeah, they could 543 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 2: have been they could have been good and things went 544 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: real bad. Yep. 545 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: There's always a what it could have on those team, 546 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: and that's definitely one of those we look back on 547 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: some stat heroes taking a look at what went down yesterday. 548 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: Max Munsey trying to pick it back up off for 549 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: a wretched start of the year. Two homers, three, RBIs 550 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: three for four with a couple of runs, Randy Rose 551 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: Arena three for four with a homer, three RBI, Boba 552 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: Schett just came off of a bunch of homers. Did 553 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: it again, four for five, a homer, two RBI, Randall 554 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: Gritchik had two homers, Jonathan Daza had a home run. 555 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: O'Neill Cruiz three for five, big old homer. I'm shocked 556 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: that he has not broken the stat cast record yet. 557 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: He's got to do it, and then we can have 558 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,719 Speaker 1: a stat of like, what's the one player that hit 559 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: a five hundred foot home run that only hit one 560 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: ninety six and we can be like, oh, Oneo Cruz, 561 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 1: that's the guy. H Kyle Farmer, Homer and Mondo had 562 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: a home er, Nico Horner two for three with a 563 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: stolen base, and Herris Montero had a home run, got 564 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: a nice little bet with Colorado. They're bringing up bunch 565 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: of the young guys Montero and totally yeah. I had 566 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: that conversation yesterday about Bobachett where it was Michael Harris 567 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: or Bobachett in Dynasty. Are you going to let this 568 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: back half? And I don't say that I'm trying to 569 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: direct this in a way, but are you gonna let 570 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: the second half help direct a positive take on him 571 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: going into next year or are you gonna remember the 572 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: four months where Bobachett was pretty regular? 573 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have him in the Dynasty League. I've had 574 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 2: him since the Miners, so I'm gonna buy in on 575 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: him again. I think one more year, see if you 576 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 2: can actually kind of work out all the way across. 577 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 3: I feel like I. 578 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 2: Feel like guys often have that one year that's off 579 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 2: early on, and then that next year is either they 580 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 2: corrected or they're out. So yeah, I mean, I'm still 581 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 2: in on him. I like Michael Harris too, but I 582 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: love Michaelares. 583 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: On the pitching side, Shane Bieber went eight, struck out seven. 584 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: Woodruff struck out five and seven, giving up only one 585 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: run and a couple of hits.

But that's 666 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 2: too low. So I would take it, And I think 667 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 2: I also like Manoa's he tends I feel like he 668 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 2: does well in Baltimore. But so I like those two 669 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: and yeah, and I guess I would take all of them. Really, 670 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of Maldonado, but for even 671 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 2: for a base hit, I'd do it. 672 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: The thing with Kopek, I agree it's too low. The 673 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: problem is he has not hit this in the last 674 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: two games. He actually only has two strikeouts over last 675 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: two games. And he had five starts this month and 676 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: he's only hit that two of five times, so that's 677 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: why that number is low. But I uh, it's just 678 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: too low. It's just too low. 679 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 3: I think it's just too low. 680 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: It is a little bit too low. So there you go. 681 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: You guys want to make your betscho Over leading Off 682 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: is the promo code on bet MGM, Risk Free Bet, 683 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: Just Real Quick, DK, DK and FanDuel for DFS DK 684 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: numbers weren't out there, but Strider on FANDLE ten to 685 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: two playing Kershaw ten to one, Manoa's ten nine, Jordan 686 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: Montgomery nine to five, Patrick Sanderval nine to seven. I 687 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,239 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to not hit Strider, but he's going 688 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: to be such a like overplayed guy. He's going to 689 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: be chalked today. Everyone's going to be playing him. DraftKings 690 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: when you have two pitchers, I might try to pair 691 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: or maybe go Minoa, Maan. Manoa and Montgomery might be decent. 692 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: He's probably gonna be cheaper on DK A little bit 693 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: implied totals of five or more Houston Dodgers and Angels, 694 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: but I'm also going to add Atlanta because of the age, 695 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put Atlanta. I think actually Atlanta stacks 696 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: would be a really smart play today. So the home 697 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: run contest, we're going to make some home run calls 698 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: and you have a little adjustment today for a wonky 699 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: Wednesday bonus. And I like it. 700 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 2: I love it, and a I realize how diabolical I 701 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 2: can actually be. So I mean, like this, when this 702 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 2: came to me, I did an evil cackle. So what 703 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: I've wanted to do it forever. So we're doing a 704 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 2: double digit day. So you pick a player who wears 705 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 2: a double digit jersey with two of the same number, 706 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 2: and you can receive twice the number of homers that 707 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 2: he hits today. For example, Aaron Judge wears number ninety nine, 708 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 2: and it's just really too awful, isn't it That he's 709 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 2: in a double header, so you can't call him. 710 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: Oh double header base numbers, and you can't get your 711 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: double homers. So sad. 712 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 3: It's just a terrible coincidence. 713 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean, so yeah, sorry, Joe. It so any player 714 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: that wears a double digit number, so eleven, twenty two, 715 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: thirty three, forty four to fifty five, you guys get 716 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: the hint. Does anyone wear sixty six in baseball. I 717 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: don't think so. 718 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 719 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: I have a number thing, and people who know me 720 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: know about this. I have a number thing that like 721 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: odd numbers bother me. So like running backs wearing number 722 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: five annoy me. Baseball players wearing like sixty seven or 723 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: seventy four bother me. Like numbers like that really really 724 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: bother me. Ninety But the even numbers are the ways 725 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: to get away with it, you know, Kyle Blanks, maybe 726 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: the most famous eighty eight. I can do ninety nine's, 727 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: eighty eight, seventy sevens, I can do those, But any 728 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: other number order does really get to me. But what 729 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: you got, then, who's your double digit number? You're playing? 730 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 2: So my home run call for today is Jose Ramirez, 731 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 2: who wears number eleven. 732 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: I like that call. I am gonna go with a 733 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: little forty four action against Michael Kopek, and I'm gonna 734 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: go with Julio Rodriguez leading off. Should probably be in 735 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: my mind, probably the play of the day. It's a 736 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: lead off batter with a double digit number. Ramirez, though, 737 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. We probably picked the top 738 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: two digit players, is there. I can't even think of 739 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: anybody else to be honest with you, there's a. 740 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 3: Few out there. 741 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 2: I also wanted to mention in your home run call 742 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 2: if you want to just add the number. I mean, 743 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 2: obviously I'm gonna have to look them up anyway, but 744 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 2: if you want to just add their jersey number, that 745 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 2: would save me a little time. 746 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, I lucked. I did. I did do that online. 747 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: So o Lei Rodriguez, Jose Ramirez. Oh is that sad 748 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: that Joe is there and Judge and he doesn't actually 749 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: get to have a homer today? 750 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, none of them, so terrible. Feel bad for me. 751 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: Yep, all right for those that is the episode, Thank 752 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: you guys for hanging out. 753 00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 2: Kelly. 754 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: Anything going down that people need to be checking out. 755 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 2: If you love fantasy Nascar or fantasy hockey, I've got 756 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 2: lots of all sorts of stuff going on over at 757 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 2: fan Tracks.
