Speaker 1: Leading off starts right now. And look at that pretty
Speaker 1: face stinting right next to me, sitting right next to me,
Speaker 1: actually not even remotely close to me, maybe a thousand
Speaker 1: months or it is Scott Bogman joining me today. I'm
Speaker 1: Chris Welsh. It is leading off because the Bubbs is
Speaker 1: without power. Bubba had sent a frantic text this morning.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's power, and I usually could have
Speaker 1: done this alone though I don't have an overlay, so
Speaker 1: I would have been standing here naked the whole world
Speaker 1: and I just couldn't have that. So Bogman in the house.
Speaker 1: So what's up about it?
Speaker 2: You did that all wrong.
Speaker 3: You have to be now pinch hitting for Scott Boman,
Speaker 3: you know, one of those yeah, Bom bom Scott uh yeah.
Speaker 4: Happy to be here, Happy to help out Bubbo when
Speaker 4: he needs it. And if my voice stays with us,
Speaker 4: then I'll be good to go.
Speaker 2: So let's rock and roll. Let's talk some baseball.
Speaker 1: There we go. It's been a little bit since we
Speaker 1: had Bogmin on here. The Bogman has not been not
Speaker 1: talking about baseball. Of course, over at the end of
Speaker 1: this League Fantasy Baseball podcast, we've been doing that but
Speaker 1: Bogman has been all over the betting pros halftime last
Speaker 1: night on Monday Night football on the college side, doing football,
Speaker 1: every little bit of football everything. So glad to have
Speaker 1: you here, Betty, and glad to talk about Mike Trout
Speaker 1: home run his seventh straight game on Monday in a
Speaker 1: loss to the Guardians. Zough, did you know that they
Speaker 1: are three and four during this time where Mike Trout
Speaker 1: has been hitting all of these homers. Will tell you
Speaker 1: a stat a little bit here, in just a tiny bit,
Speaker 1: but Mike Trout's seven straight games with a home run
Speaker 1: absolutely helping everybody in their fantasy push and their playoff push.
Speaker 1: Really an unbelievable stretch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it has been really good. Like you said,
Speaker 4: can never help the Angels. I mean, I didn't know
Speaker 4: that they were three and four in a seven game
Speaker 4: homer streak. But it's also maybe the least surprising stat
Speaker 4: of the year because the Angels get these great players
Speaker 4: and just cannot win games.
Speaker 2: It literally is.
Speaker 1: You and Walkee at the same time you said that,
Speaker 1: and Walkee in the chat said it is literally the
Speaker 1: most Angels thing.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 4: It is they can't figure it out. They need to
Speaker 4: sell the team. They need a new strategy. They can't
Speaker 4: just be like, hey, let's pay for the stars and
Speaker 4: get no one else around them to help at all whatsoever.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's actually amazing. They're like the only
Speaker 1: team that money can't buy a win. Like for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: they just keep throwing more money and more money, and
Speaker 1: it gets worse. The situation just gets worse every time.
Speaker 1: They really should just yeah, they should dump all the
Speaker 1: payroll and just see what happens. You don't think it
Speaker 1: could be that much worse.
Speaker 4: I mean, as soon as they signed Josh Hamilton, they
Speaker 4: should have been like, we need to re evaluate everything.
Speaker 4: They signed Hamilton, they signed pool holes, they gave Rendon
Speaker 4: a bunch of money. The only two players that have
Speaker 4: worked out for them are Trout and o Tani. Nobody
Speaker 4: else has really worked out, so you know, Jared Walsh,
Speaker 4: I guess was okay for a little bit, but yeah,
Speaker 4: I know for a minute. But like what else has
Speaker 4: been going on there, It's just been a disaster. So
Speaker 4: they definitely need they need to suffer for a little
Speaker 4: bit to move everything back up. Same thing the Padres
Speaker 4: have done, same thing the Astros have done. Can get
Speaker 4: stuck in that for a little while, Baltimore. But you
Speaker 4: know it's it's you have a better shot of winning
Speaker 4: more games if you sink to the bottom and then
Speaker 4: let yourself flow back up.
Speaker 1: So a fun fact to attach to this to I
Speaker 1: believe tonight Trout will be going for this record because
Speaker 1: he needs one more to tie Dale Long, Don Mattingly
Speaker 1: and Ken Griffy Junior for the major league record of
Speaker 1: consecutive homers in a game. He's just a second Righty
Speaker 1: by the way to homer in seven straight games, joining
Speaker 1: Kevin Minch. So if he gets this tonight, he will
Speaker 1: join He will Griffy, he will join it. Would you be?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a look. I haven't looked at this yet.
Speaker 1: What do you think the draft? I'm gonna just do
Speaker 1: DraftKings because it's like the one I tend to go
Speaker 1: to a little bit. What do you think the home
Speaker 1: run prop is tonight for Mike Trout?
Speaker 4: Let me see, uh minus one fifty is seven straight games.
Speaker 1: But isn't there a part of you that like he's
Speaker 1: hitting it's gotta be plus still right? I want to
Speaker 1: don't you wish you could bet against him hitting a homer? Tonight,
Speaker 1: so let's see.
Speaker 4: No, no, you, I don't want to know what do you?
Speaker 2: What do you? Is this? Uh? Evil wells? Share what's happening?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: So you want to bet against him?
Speaker 1: I totally forgot you can all right? So here it is.
Speaker 1: I'm so stupid. I completely forgot. So tonight it is
Speaker 1: plus two oh five for a homer and is minus
Speaker 1: two ninety on the under. So wonky, where is that
Speaker 1: one eighty? Because I got two o five on DraftKings
Speaker 1: right now? Will you be down to put a little
Speaker 1: bit of ducats on a plus two oh five for
Speaker 1: him to tie the record?
Speaker 2: Uh no, uh no, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Uh we know, minus two ninety on a little single bet.
Speaker 2: Huh huh no win three?
Speaker 4: You know how I am man, I am pragmatic about
Speaker 4: my betting. Uh I think would be the nice word
Speaker 4: uh here for it. So no, I don't want to
Speaker 4: bet on anyone to hit a homer, and I don't
Speaker 4: want to bet against the guy to set a record.
Speaker 2: So no, uh no, thank he's.
Speaker 1: Right by the way, I said, guess and she did guess.
Speaker 1: She followed complete directions.
Speaker 2: By the way I followed directions, Welsh.
Speaker 1: I like the chat that got into Evil Welsh here,
Speaker 1: and they're like Evil Welsh's regular my hairs. It if
Speaker 1: it could just split into little horns like little Wolverine.
Speaker 4: I like, well, the glove to Jet Hirst or whatever
Speaker 4: I breakfast.
Speaker 1: I am, I have hands hurting, Doctor Glenn, I need
Speaker 1: a doctor.
Speaker 4: Well, she got to go get on his hog after
Speaker 4: this show, so I've got to put the gloves on first.
Speaker 1: So ready for Mike Trout. I don't know, I'm tinted.
Speaker 1: I don't I think that this is a wild record
Speaker 1: of a home run streak. I can't imagine they're gonna
Speaker 1: want to be giving him good pitches. But it is
Speaker 1: Cody Morris. It's a young kid that's gonna be pitching.
Speaker 1: Cody Morris is pretty good, by the way, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a young kid that is going to be
Speaker 1: pitching up against him. And I mean, Trout's gonna be
Speaker 1: swinging for the fences, so that'd be a fun bet.
Speaker 1: I would like to know anybody in the chat who
Speaker 1: is either going to bet for or against this tonight
Speaker 1: on any platforms, don't care where it is, but let
Speaker 1: me know.
Speaker 4: What such a baseball thing too, because it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: Mike Trout has a back injury and it's gonna affect
Speaker 4: him for his entire career.
Speaker 2: We don't know if he's gonna even be good anymore.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: How about he sets the record or ties the record
Speaker 4: for home runs in a game straight. I mean, just so,
Speaker 4: it's baseball, man. Yeah, that's baseball, Susan, there you go.
Speaker 1: It's ball beauty, baseball beauty. Some other headline notes. Mookie
Speaker 1: bets connected three run homer t help the Dodgers to
Speaker 1: a six oh victory over the Diamondbacks, his thirty fourth
Speaker 1: of the year, and he is continuing to blank on
Speaker 1: the other side. By the way Ryan Nelson blank the
Speaker 1: Dodgers over six inning, but he didn't factor in the win.
Speaker 1: Looks like he's gonna get the Padres next week. And
Speaker 1: we were both like, we're, yeah, hears, even though he
Speaker 1: was really good here, But do you jump on the
Speaker 1: Ryan Nelson train after two straight incredible outings and he's
Speaker 1: got the Padres coming up.
Speaker 4: Well, look, I'll say this, if you can shut down
Speaker 4: the Dodgers' lineup for six innings, he could shut down
Speaker 4: anybody's lineup for six innings. So sure, you know, he
Speaker 4: looks good. He's on a heater right now. So ride
Speaker 4: the wave. You know, the bubble is gonna burst at
Speaker 4: some point, hopefully not in your playoffs, but if you're
Speaker 4: at that point, especially he said he starts Saturday.
Speaker 1: Now it's looking like yesterday this week, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: guess it's gonna be Yeah, probably Saturday.
Speaker 4: There's worst starts out there, and you know this is
Speaker 4: a start. If you're desperate, you need it, you need
Speaker 4: the strikeouts, you need the ra whatever. Yeah, you can
Speaker 4: roll him out there because he's been dependable the last
Speaker 4: couple starts.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I would too, especially after the
Speaker 1: Dodger outing. I think there's a lot of confidence that
Speaker 1: goes into it. I mentioned he's a really smart pitcher.
Speaker 1: Multiple offerings, Padres, I been a little bit dicey, and
Speaker 1: this is a discord question. And this reminds me to
Speaker 1: let you guys know, if you guys have a question.
Speaker 1: At the end of this episode, we're going to try
Speaker 1: to answer a couple. I can start the questions as
Speaker 1: we go, So if you want to do a question
Speaker 1: for start and sit, pick up whatever for the chat,
Speaker 1: I will start and we will try to get to
Speaker 1: a couple at the end, so you can just freely
Speaker 1: let it go as you will and we will be
Speaker 1: able to go back to those questions pretty easy. Bobashett
Speaker 1: hit a two run home run to beat the Rays.
Speaker 1: In the month of September, Bugs, He's hitting over five
Speaker 1: hundred with seven homers twenty one RBI in eleven games.
Speaker 1: You asked me the question on IAD yesterday.
Speaker 2: So hot right now?
Speaker 1: I know, I had Bashett moved past like Michael Harris
Speaker 1: because we had this talk about Michael Harrish with Bobashett
Speaker 1: and we had this The debate was interesting because it's like,
Speaker 1: what can you trade Michael harre because people like get
Speaker 1: off of the Michael Harris train. What could you optimize
Speaker 1: for Michael Harris? What would have been Bashett? You couldn't
Speaker 1: have done that now, but if you could, that would
Speaker 1: be kind of a win week ago.
Speaker 4: That might have looked like a lopsided deal in the
Speaker 4: Michael Harris side, you know. But I mean Boba sheet
Speaker 4: has been the hotness, uh since coming into the month
Speaker 4: of September, So uh yeah, right, that way.
Speaker 1: You can make God or I don't think you can
Speaker 1: make that trade anymore.
Speaker 4: But that's that was kind of hot to the end
Speaker 4: of the year. Can he get himself back like near
Speaker 4: the first round?
Speaker 1: I don't think he can get himself into the first round,
Speaker 1: but I think he can get himself firmly back into
Speaker 1: like the top. Well you know what I say that.
Speaker 1: I was about to say Lake Rode fifteen. Maybe, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe he could. But like people are always asking like, well,
Speaker 1: what would be the optimized Mike Harris stuff. That's that's
Speaker 1: kind of what you need to do. You need to
Speaker 1: get these type of guys otherwise, don't trade him like
Speaker 1: they're they're kind of one and the same. But boba
Speaker 1: sheet and.
Speaker 2: Call him Mike Harris, you guys, buddies, Yeah, you and Mike,
Speaker 2: your buddy.
Speaker 1: Mike money mic maybe money Mike, that's his nickname. I
Speaker 1: actually have a I got a you guys can't really
Speaker 1: see it in here, but on the ball wall, I've
Speaker 1: got a Michael Harris inscribed money mic ball.
Speaker 2: Nice my boy.
Speaker 1: Dennis Sidler at sidsgrass Alec Minoa was scratched from a
Speaker 1: starting today due to a little uh he's got a
Speaker 1: little bad tummy. He's got a little tummy bug bogs
Speaker 1: little tummy.
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what, you got a tummy bug? Your
Speaker 4: power goes out. Sometimes you just can't show up for work, right,
Speaker 4: so uh you know, uh, fire shots fire, Oh come on, Bubb,
Speaker 4: Does I love him?
Speaker 2: If I didn't love Bubb, I wouldn't be here right.
Speaker 4: So, but uh, you know, it's it's just part of
Speaker 4: what happens, you know, especially these days. Anyone has anything
Speaker 4: where they might be sick. Nope, stay the hell at home.
Speaker 4: We don't want you here, so go away.
Speaker 1: Last piece of the news news will go to Andreies.
Speaker 1: According to Craig Mitchel for It's Sports Grade, Marlins are
Speaker 1: expected to call up Jordan Grosshands prior to Tuesday's game
Speaker 1: against the Phillies. He was a former Blue Jays prospect.
Speaker 1: I don't have great, great prospects on Jordan Groshan's power
Speaker 1: is kind of completely decimated. He's kind of found his
Speaker 1: bat a little bit more. But this is not this
Speaker 1: is not a guy that I'm looking to pick up
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, you know, opportunity to.
Speaker 4: Him some experience at the end of the year, but
Speaker 4: you're not run to the wire. You spend that money.
Speaker 1: Like Bogman's cliche availability is the best ability ability.
Speaker 4: God, you can't even remember the cliche. I said it
Speaker 4: a thousand times. I was about to screw it up
Speaker 4: about the availability is the best ability ability.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, it just didn't make sense to me when
Speaker 1: I was saying it in my head.
Speaker 4: But yeah, more of a football term. But yes, I
Speaker 4: mean it applies to Jazz Chisholm.
Speaker 1: So yeah. And Jordan Grosshan's on the injury front. Brandon
Speaker 1: Lau out of the Raised lineup for Game one due
Speaker 1: to some back discomfort. Wander Franco's back with the race
Speaker 1: during lineup for the opening contest of Tuesday's doubleheader against
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. So there you go. And David Bednar
Speaker 1: is gonna begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday
Speaker 1: with Triple A Indianapolis. I've got to go look because
Speaker 1: like I feel like there's like two days left of
Speaker 1: the minor league season. They keep we keep talking about
Speaker 1: finally rehab stins, but I'm pretty sure it's like done.
Speaker 1: It's got to be just done. Done. This day in
Speaker 1: Baseball Bogs nineteen oh nine, ty Cob clinches the American
Speaker 1: League home run title with his ninth round tripper. It
Speaker 1: is an inside the park homer against the Browns. In fact,
Speaker 1: all his nine Lewis season Yeah, and check us out,
Speaker 1: all of his nine homers that season were inside the park,
Speaker 1: including two and one game on July fifteenth. He's the
Speaker 1: only player in this century to lead in home runs
Speaker 1: without hitting one out of the park. And we won't
Speaker 1: have a conversation about the how the players performed then
Speaker 1: versus how they perform now.
Speaker 2: Right, Ty Cobb?
Speaker 4: Ty Cobb one of the best hitters ever, but like
Speaker 4: he is, definitely like the Christopher Columbus of baseball, not
Speaker 4: a guy that we should be celebrating, but by any
Speaker 4: stretch of the imagination, not very good dude.
Speaker 1: But you know, a lot of gets into the stadium.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, sure, yeah, we'll just go with that now.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little easier to get a lot of
Speaker 1: hits off of fifty nine mile an hour fastballs. But
Speaker 1: you know that's just me. This is me. I got
Speaker 1: a trivia question for you, bagman. You're gonna love this one,
Speaker 1: all right, No Dodger question, hate it. How many times
Speaker 1: have the Dodgers finished with the most wins among al
Speaker 1: n L teams and won the World Series, so it's essentially.
Speaker 2: Just who's that and won the World Series?
Speaker 1: They were the White Series and oh you absolutely know that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you absolutely did. I'm surprised you got it.
Speaker 4: Well, they won their one World Series and then you
Speaker 4: know what was the other one the Kirk Kipson won,
Speaker 4: So that's all I got.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's funny too seeing this. So the two
Speaker 1: were in twenty twenty when they were forty three and
Speaker 1: seventeen because of COVID, and then they won nineteen fifty
Speaker 1: five where they were nine eight and fifty five.
Speaker 4: So yeah, well they've led the league and wins a
Speaker 4: bunch of times and then choking the playoffs.
Speaker 2: So let's let's keep that rolling.
Speaker 1: We were talking about this on ITL yesterday too. An
Speaker 1: incredible run differential of three hundred and like twelve runs
Speaker 1: against opponents this year, which is number one. I think
Speaker 1: number two was like two hundred runs.
Speaker 4: So they have like it was the Yankees somehow that
Speaker 4: that just imagine how many how many runs the Yankees
Speaker 4: were up before their skid where they had no offense
Speaker 4: for like six weeks and uh, you know, and now
Speaker 4: they're like two hundred runs their second But yeah, the
Speaker 4: Dodgers just keep you know, beating the Jesus out of everybody.
Speaker 4: They beat the d Backs last night by like six runs.
Speaker 4: So yep, that's uh, that's just that's.
Speaker 2: The way it goes.
Speaker 4: But you know what, you can have a three hundred
Speaker 4: run differential and still choke in the first round of
Speaker 4: the playoffs.
Speaker 2: So we're here for it. Let's go hope.
Speaker 1: That's your hope. Stat heroes. Marcus Simeon three for four
Speaker 1: with a homer and three RBI. Yesterday we talked about
Speaker 1: Boba Schett two for three with a homer and three
Speaker 1: rbhin a run. Aristate is a Keno. He was on
Speaker 1: the props yesterday for one and a half and I
Speaker 1: believe he was the plus money play if I remember correctly.
Speaker 1: Two for three, homer, two RBI. John Birdie had a
Speaker 1: couple stolen bases. You guys have been dying for that.
Speaker 1: Ralphael Ortega had a homer. He was two for thirte.
Speaker 1: Brian Reynolds may have been one of the top home
Speaker 1: run people's calls. Two for four with a homer. Zach
Speaker 1: McKinstry had a bomb. Matt Duffy out of absolutely nowhere
Speaker 1: two for four with a homer couple. RBI Francisco Lindor
Speaker 1: had a homer and Jeremy Pania did not have a homer,
Speaker 1: but he was three for five with a stolen base,
Speaker 1: just kind of what everybody has been needing and waiting
Speaker 1: for him to pick back up. Jeremy Payne, you and
Speaker 1: I have talked a lot about Jeremy Paania. Do you
Speaker 1: think you're gonna be in on Jeremy Pinia next year?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like the back half struggle has put
Speaker 1: him in a spot where he is gonna be at
Speaker 1: best outside the top one a little bit outside the
Speaker 1: top one fifty, and he's gonna be more of a
Speaker 1: middle infielder than a starting shortstop next year, and I
Speaker 1: kind of think there's gonna be value in year two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the nice part.
Speaker 4: It depends on h because if he's just outside that
Speaker 4: top one fifty, I think that's like at value. But
Speaker 4: if he drops below like two hundred or something in
Speaker 4: that range, which you probably shouldn't maybe one seventy five ish,
Speaker 4: that is where I think you're starting to get really
Speaker 4: good value on him. So really, you know, I like
Speaker 4: Jeremy Pania and I hope he comes at a value,
Speaker 4: but it really depends on where we see him get
Speaker 4: drafted early.
Speaker 1: Only a three point nine percent walk rate this year,
Speaker 1: which is garbage, but ten homers, I'm sorry, seventeen homers,
Speaker 1: ten stolen bases with a two fifty three batting average. Okay,
Speaker 1: runs an RBI for being moved out of kind of
Speaker 1: like those top spots in the order. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: have to prove improve on discipline in the off season,
Speaker 1: be able to take a little bit more, a little
Speaker 1: bit more on pitches, kind of find your spot a
Speaker 1: little bit more, which could lead to a higher batting average.
Speaker 1: And look him through here.
Speaker 4: This is like if Michael Harris started to struggle because
Speaker 4: he started out so hot. You know, he was so
Speaker 4: good to start, but then he hit that bump that
Speaker 4: we expect with young players. Michael Harris never hit the bump.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and I mean there's completely different, like just
Speaker 1: contact skills with those guys. Sure, Penio was never necessarily
Speaker 1: this type of guy, but just physical specimen and the
Speaker 1: leadoff stuff didn't work and everybody else picked it back up.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, Paniatic is going to be a good,
Speaker 1: like cheap buy back in the offseason for people, if
Speaker 1: you're in like even keeper dynasties or in redraft, I
Speaker 1: think it'll be one of those guys in like really
Speaker 1: early best balls. I will probably get as like you know,
Speaker 1: second or third middle infielder and hopefully reaped the rewards
Speaker 1: on the pitch in side. Franber Valdez went nine, struck
Speaker 1: out eight, only gave up six hits. Alex Cobb struck
Speaker 1: out seven over seven. Ryan Nelson and we talked about,
Speaker 1: struck out six over six, only gave up two hits
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers, which is crazy. Tyler Anderson against those Diamondbacks,
Speaker 1: though he went seven, only struck out two, and Trevor
Speaker 1: Rogers six and one third with nine strikeouts. Bogman, Trevor
Speaker 1: Rodgers lives, and I know Wonky is just in a
Speaker 1: field day with it right now. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember how bad Trevor Rodgers. Oh yeah, he is
Speaker 1: still sporting a five three five ERA even after these
Speaker 1: good performances and splits so far. I mean, the splits
Speaker 1: still don't even look that great because the first and
Speaker 1: second half are all kind of jumbled. But he had
Speaker 1: a August A one to five ERA over one start
Speaker 1: and in September he's had two starts with a three
Speaker 1: six five ERA.
Speaker 2: He's got three quality starts in a row.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing. March five ERA, May five,
Speaker 1: ERA seven in June five, almost six ERA in July,
Speaker 1: and then these last three starts after spending time in
Speaker 1: Triple A, really seemed to have changed out a few
Speaker 1: things and he's looking a little bit better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has been looking good. And this is you know,
Speaker 4: specifically with pictures. You know, we talk about Jeremy Paney
Speaker 4: going on the roller coaster. This is Trevor Rodgers for sure.
Speaker 4: And he's still only twenty four. He still developing in
Speaker 4: you know, there's a lot of meat on the bone,
Speaker 4: as I like to say Welsh in terms of his
Speaker 4: future values. So obviously he has not done yet, and
Speaker 4: let's hope that he just continues this throughout the end
Speaker 4: of the season and we can have a little positive
Speaker 4: outlook on him going into next year. But if he
Speaker 4: does do this all the way through the season the
Speaker 4: end of the season, well, you know, he's gonna.
Speaker 2: Be overrated next year. It's just gonna happen again.
Speaker 4: He's gonna have like three quarters of a terrible season
Speaker 4: and then still be overrated next.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be any scenario where he
Speaker 1: goes too high because of how bad it is, but
Speaker 1: will what will happen is he will become a target,
Speaker 1: and then as he becomes a target, he will move
Speaker 1: up draft ranks, which will make him annoying because this
Speaker 1: is a guy that shouldn't be drafted inside the top
Speaker 1: two hundred.
Speaker 4: Well, it'll be one of those things where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: he's hovering right around there, like in draft season, and
Speaker 4: then once we get to spring training, like if he
Speaker 4: has two three good outings, then through the roof you
Speaker 4: know that that's exactly what would happen with him. If
Speaker 4: he finishes off the year, Well, if he stinks it
Speaker 4: up again in his last couple starts here, then he
Speaker 4: probably won't even go inside the top two fifty.
Speaker 1: If he gets all stinky. And as Wonkee said, where
Speaker 1: is it? I am the rose to his jack. I
Speaker 1: can't quit. You can't.
Speaker 4: You'd let him drowned? Uh in the icy water? Is
Speaker 4: that what's happening there?
Speaker 1: By the way, looking at his his Savant page, it's
Speaker 1: definitely moved off of being the dark blue that it was.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, fastball has been pretty plus ninety percentile
Speaker 1: in spin. Barreling is getting around even right now. The
Speaker 1: the X woe but e ra stuff is an X
Speaker 1: slugging and he's just still getting hit pretty hard.
Speaker 4: I took a look at Jeremy Paneas and it's blue that,
Speaker 4: you know, pretty.
Speaker 2: Blue there for Jeremy Payne.
Speaker 1: Pretty pretty blue. Over on the hitters for the zero's
Speaker 1: Chris Chris morel over three, three strikeouts, Tyler Naquin over
Speaker 1: three with three strikeouts, Kraive Baby Wilmer flora Is over
Speaker 1: four with three strikeouts. Those were your big disappointments on
Speaker 1: the pitching side toward Rodriguez. Give up five and runs,
Speaker 1: over five, ten hits, only struck out two. Chris Bassett
Speaker 1: I thought was gonna be a great play yesterday. Uh
Speaker 1: he was not. Three and two thirds, five earned runs,
Speaker 1: gave up two homers and Mike Minor five and runs,
Speaker 1: five innings, five and runs, seven hits, three walks, gave
Speaker 1: up three home runs that is many many home runs.
Speaker 2: Didn't basket strike out ten in his start before this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think it was a good matchup too.
Speaker 1: It's just one of those that did not.
Speaker 4: Where's Bassett's my heartbeat watching the Steelers game.
Speaker 1: You know, Dogman, you were here. It's been like close
Speaker 1: to a month or so. The home run board has
Speaker 1: definitely moved.
Speaker 2: And not yet. That's all I care about.
Speaker 1: Dude. He's still on it because he's got judged every
Speaker 1: He just has judged every single day. But Mart, he
Speaker 1: is falling down. He is falling down a little bit
Speaker 1: like a button bridge. Not only do we have a
Speaker 1: new number one, but that number one has now we
Speaker 1: had it yesterday and Cat Fox, Cat Fox has a
Speaker 1: two home run lead calling Brian Reynolds yesterday with fifty
Speaker 1: two homers. Cat Fox is sitting at Dee Blum and
Speaker 1: High Cubby are at fifty. High Cubby the Mike Trout
Speaker 1: Homer to get up to fifty go cards and L
Speaker 1: Skel are at forty nine as L SkELL had Mike Trout.
Speaker 1: So the race is still very tight. But Cat Fox
Speaker 1: is getting themselves just this is my lead.
Speaker 2: This is my request, Cat Fox, I'd like some lottery numbers.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: If you call Brian Reynolds, give me some lottery numbers.
Speaker 1: Isn't it incredible too that these home runs are still
Speaker 1: not to Aaron Judge, Like, we're still not at Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge real life Homer levels, just calling them. It's just
Speaker 1: still wild to me. It's still wild to me. All right, friends,
Speaker 1: you know what time it is, Bogman, do you know

Speaker 1: it's like a it's like a I was gonna say
Speaker 1: rose gold, but it's just like a beige. It's a
Speaker 1: beige one today. So I gave you beige.
Speaker 2: You like it?
Speaker 4: Oh? Okay, sure, I think you should leave it on personally,
Speaker 4: but you know, yeah, it's just me for a little bit.
Speaker 2: Sure, Okay, there we go. Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 4: I told you I look like, uh well, I look
Speaker 4: like a fat look like a pretty princess.
Speaker 2: I look like congratulations.
Speaker 1: It's fat wonder Woman who has facial hair, Fat wonder
Speaker 1: Woman and a circus. It's a circus version of Fat
Speaker 1: Wonder Woman with a beard and stuff. Here are your
Speaker 1: play I'm actually gonna take this off because it's very okiny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, please do yes, thank you, please do?
Speaker 1: Okay? Here going today. Here are four plays for you
Speaker 1: actually all pretty interesting and we've got two. We got
Speaker 1: two total base props and to strikeout plays. The number
Speaker 1: one play of the day is only one total base,
Speaker 1: but it's juiced up and it's our boy, Rake McCarthy.
Speaker 2: Jake McCarthy, Rake McCarthy.
Speaker 1: Let's go one total base, but it is minus one
Speaker 1: eighty five. That's on Draftking, So you're essentially for ten bucks.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get five bucks back if he gets it.
Speaker 2: But you only need lefty lefty matchup. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh the number one plus money play on total basis.
Speaker 1: If you didn't like that, if you want to go
Speaker 1: and play the total bass plus game, go to Adley Rutchman,
Speaker 1: who is one and a half total bases plus one
Speaker 1: seventeen over on sugar House and he's projected at two,
Speaker 1: so it's a pretty even matchup. But that was the
Speaker 1: number one plus money play. If that's your bag over
Speaker 1: on the strikeouts, two huge names today. The number one
Speaker 1: strikeout play is Garrett Cole. You only need seven strikeouts,
Speaker 1: the number is six and a half. He's projected at
Speaker 1: over eight. It's minus one for on DK. I also
Speaker 1: like that one. And then the number one plus money
Speaker 1: play Jacob deGrom under nine and a half strikeouts, that
Speaker 1: is plus one fifteen on DK bog. So you tell me, what.
Speaker 2: Do you like? Are you playing? I don't?
Speaker 1: Are you parlaying two?
Speaker 2: What do you like?
Speaker 1: Out of all?
Speaker 4: I'll say this, I'm never gonna bet against Jacob de
Speaker 4: gram ever, So there you go.
Speaker 1: That's not a half strikeouts and it is against the
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs. So if you get nine you still win.
Speaker 1: Anything over you lose, but it pays plus money. You
Speaker 1: got Garrett Cole, Ali Ruchmand McCarthy, what's your what's your bag?
Speaker 4: Uh? Look, I like the Garrett Cole one. I think
Speaker 4: there's value there for sure. I'm not. I just don't
Speaker 4: know about McCarthy against Kershaw. He has been so hot,
Speaker 4: but that's a tough lefty lefty matchup. So I guess
Speaker 4: Ruchmand would be my other one. I kind of like
Speaker 4: the Alcontra one for today too. I think the strikeouts
Speaker 4: is five and a half, so there's a.
Speaker 1: Lot of good pitchers going today on those plays. I mean,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, like, I just don't play unders
Speaker 1: on guys like c Stagram and Starter. Even yesterday, you
Speaker 1: know Stryder's number with seven and a half and he
Speaker 1: got nine. You know, I just don't play against these guys.
Speaker 1: And the Cubs are just brutal. I'm probably fading this
Speaker 1: and I didn't look at what the over is. If
Speaker 1: it's plus one fifteen, I'm gonna guess it's probably like
Speaker 1: minus one three.
Speaker 4: If there's anyone that could get you know, nine strikeouts
Speaker 4: or ten strikeouts in the first eleven batters, it's Jacob
Speaker 4: de Gram, So why bet against him.
Speaker 1: There's anybody you can figure out how to get ten
Speaker 1: strikeouts in the first two innings, it'll be him. It's
Speaker 1: not possible, but you know, if it were, it would
Speaker 1: be him. I didn't have a good DK info for you.
Speaker 1: It wasn't really listed, but you guys can piece that together.
Speaker 1: And you know, we did post questions, but we didn't
Speaker 1: get any great quote. We did have one question here,
Speaker 1: So if you guys, I gave you a chance. If
Speaker 1: you guys got questions for start, sit whatever, this is
Speaker 1: your last opportunity. But wonkey. What should I drink when
Speaker 1: the Tigers somehow blow up Hunter Brown and all my
Speaker 1: hopes and dreams? Good drain?
Speaker 4: I can't oh my lort Oh. That's actually what you
Speaker 4: should do to make you laugh is watch people drinking
Speaker 4: him alert on the internet. That's what you should do
Speaker 4: if Hunter Brown completely destroys all of our hopes and
Speaker 4: dreams here Hunter Brown Bandwagon as well.
Speaker 1: I went pretty strong on the Hunter Brown stuff too,
Speaker 1: like this is a must, and because he's also got
Speaker 1: the a's after this, so it's like an absolute must
Speaker 1: that what time is this game? This game is at
Speaker 1: three four, This is gonna hurt over the run totals
Speaker 1: at four and it's against Drew Hutchinson. So uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean my lord is actually a good one because
Speaker 1: I think then you can just it's kind of a
Speaker 1: like hurt yourself thing, like you deserve the punishment and
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to do that. Thester did ask, do
Speaker 1: we like streaming runs of contraras against Sincy tomorrow? You're
Speaker 1: asking on a tomorrow one. I would go with yes,
Speaker 1: especially if I'm looking for you know, if I'm looking
Speaker 1: for some ratio stuff, I would I would be comfortable
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's fine. Yeah, that's uh, not something
Speaker 4: you want to do, but sure, let's go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a great way to say it. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure I want to do that, but I'd be comfortable.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Top of the top of the Red's lineup can can
Speaker 1: get a little crazy with Freeley sometimes, but India has
Speaker 1: just been bad, and you know, it's a bad offense
Speaker 1: kind of in general, let's go with the home run
Speaker 1: calls though home run calls of the night. Wonkey is
Speaker 1: going with Josh Young. Look at that called Josh Young,
Speaker 1: big power hitting Josh Young, who I read a stat
Speaker 1: from Jeff Zimmerman that he is striking out a fifty
Speaker 1: six percent k rate. I think it's against sliders. He's
Speaker 1: getting massive amounts of sliders and it's destroying him right now.
Speaker 1: And Young is gonna need to adjust on that. But
Speaker 1: he's just killing fastball. So just be on the lookout
Speaker 1: for that. Wonky is going with Josh Young. I see
Speaker 1: no mayor call, so bagman, I throw it to you.
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be your home run call to day?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 4: Give me Christian Walker against against Clayton Kershaw. So look,
Speaker 4: my first time on this show in like a month,
Speaker 4: so I need to go full homer.
Speaker 2: He give me, give me a walk, you know.
Speaker 1: BVP wise, I think Christian Walker has the second most
Speaker 1: home runs against a pitcher going today. He's got four
Speaker 1: homers against Clayton Kershaw. And here's a fun fact, hits
Speaker 1: over three hundred against Kershop over three hundred. Strikeout rates
Speaker 1: pretty low. He doesn't hit three hundred on anything except
Speaker 1: against Clayton Kershot. So that's a pretty good bet. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Muke. I'm gonna go with Mookey hitting it.
Speaker 1: You know what I should do? You know know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna train.
Speaker 2: Till you yeah, change it.
Speaker 1: Mike Trout, I'm gonna go with Mike.
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go.
Speaker 1: Let's have fun. I'm gonna go with my I'm not
Speaker 1: playing for anything with the home run contest. Let's uh,
Speaker 1: let's do that. I'm gonna go with Mike Trout today
Speaker 1: ties up the contest. Maybe should I bet it too,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe i'll bet it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, i'll bet it.
Speaker 1: I don't bet more. Hope a big bet. Let's let's
Speaker 1: do it to Jennathon and we'll do hundreds of dollars
Speaker 1: on a home run call today at plus two hundred.
Speaker 4: I think as long as you're calling it an amy,
Speaker 4: because I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1: So our boy, Doctor Glenn gave me my line box.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know I've been we've been
Speaker 1: doing this. We've got a line every my pitching line
Speaker 1: of how my performance as host is and Doctor Glenn
Speaker 1: scores it. Doctor Glenn says, I went seven innings, gave
Speaker 1: up tour and runs, but I struck out seven. Bogman
Speaker 1: comes in relief, three strikeouts, and the trumpets played meat loaf.
Speaker 2: That's pretty solid. I like that. I did.
Speaker 4: My My favorite thing with the the trumpets and all
Speaker 4: that stuff for Edwin Diez is someone saying they're.
Speaker 2: Playing the trumpets all wrong.
Speaker 4: You don't play it like that, And someone said, yeah,
Speaker 4: well they're base Their heads are made out of baseball's
Speaker 4: so I think it's okay.
Speaker 1: Oh they're mad about the mascots.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like they're playing the trumpets all wrong, their fingers
Speaker 4: in the wrong place.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, well their heads are baseballs.
Speaker 4: So let's not get uh, let's not get stuck on
Speaker 4: the details here, guys, come on, let's go.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And a spoiler alert, those guys are also not playing
Speaker 1: the trumpet's point. Actually, oh man, I also hate to
Speaker 1: tell you the guy with his hand up the puppet.
Speaker 1: The puppet's not actually talking either, it's the guy. So
