1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: What's going on everybody. Thank you so much for wrapping

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: up your week with us right here on a Friday,

00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: leading off on the Fantasy Pros MLB YouTube channel. That's right,

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: we are back on YouTube. We've been on Twitch most

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: of the season, but for the stretch run, we are

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: going to be on YouTube. This makes you get a

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: subscribing Fantasy Pros MLB on YouTube. I'm joined by my

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: good friend and co host here, Casey Bubba. Great, be

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: back with you, my friend. It's a nice Friday. We

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: got a full slight of baseball and I was thinking

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: yesterday as I was putting the sheet together, only so

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: many days left in the year where we have thirty

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: baseball teams playing, so gonna relish at what we can.

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: Yes, No, it's it's oh so close, oh so close

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 2: to coming.

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: Down to the wire.

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: I did a week twenty six FAB preview last night.

18
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: We have two FAB periods to go.

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: Joe.

20
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: It's nuts that we do all the off season preseason stuff.

21
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: Oh man, it's such a long, grinding season and it's

22
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: already the end, which is crazy.

23
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: I know every year it seems like we're like, oh wow,

24
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: it's already Opening Day. It's already the All Star break

25
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: and now oh it is already the stretch run of

26
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: the season. I think every team is at about one

27
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five one hundred and forty six games,

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: so we are right down to the stretch run here.

29
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Make sure you guys are throwing your questions and comments

30
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: into the chat. Very much appreciate that. As we head

31
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: back over here to YouTube, we will answer your questions

32
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show once we

33
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: get through with some of the headlines and we're in

34
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays hat. You guys know my affiliations. Let's

35
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: talk to Kevin Gosman. He was the standout performer from yesterday,

36
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: a third complete game of his career. He came one

37
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: pitch short of a matis. It was exactly one hundred

38
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: pitches against the Astros. The complete game, no runs, nine strikeouts,

39
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: two hits, in one walk. Kevin Gosman has been phenomenal

40
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: as of late. He started off the year and it

41
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: was like, okay, not too bad, but there was a

42
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: couple of real stinkers early on, a few six earned

43
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: run outings, seven earned runs here and there. But really,

44
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: over the last two months or so, Kevin Gosman has

45
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. He's re established himself as the Blue Jays ace,

46
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: and he is at this point a top twenty pitcher

47
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Player Raiders. So heading into twenty twenty six,

48
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: is Kevin Gosman somebody that you would want a trust again,

49
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: buy back into. He is thirty four years old, going

50
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: to be thirty five at the start of next season, Bubba,

51
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: So where's your interest level right now on mister Kevin Gosman.

52
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still interested. It's always comes down to the

53
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: splitter for Gosmin. If he can utilize that, the rest

54
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: of the game kind of plays together. Age is always

55
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: a concern, but I feel like he's got a few

56
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: more years in and we said that with Wheeler Forever

57
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: finally caught up. I guess, but you can make things work.

58
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: I guess what I'm interested in Gosman. It's more of

59
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: at best in SP three on my fantasy team. I'd

60
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 2: love to have him as an SP four. I don't

61
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: want to have to go to battle with Gosmen as

62
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: one of my ass let's put it that way, but

63
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: I would definitely like him as a piece of the puzzle.

64
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: He could be good for another couple of years, like,

65
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: especially if this Jay's team brings your boy back to

66
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: play short stop, like you guys could be pretty good

67
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: over there.

68
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing with Gosman is the splitter. He's always

69
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: lived and died by the splitter, and this year it's

70
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: been okay. But the fastball has been a lot better

71
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: in terms of run value and things of that nature.

72
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: His fastball has been very good and the velocity has

73
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: been ramping up recently. So very excited to see him

74
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: in the stretch run here. I think if I was

75
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: ranking starting pitchers for next season as of right now,

76
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: he'd probably be in the top thirty thirty five ish

77
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: range something like does that sound about right, Beba.

78
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he'll fall back. I don't disagree with you,

79
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: but I just think with so many young arms calling

80
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: up these days, like I've had questions like Nolan McLain,

81
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: is he top forty like Ryan Weathers as dry pitch

82
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: will playly talk way, is he like there's so many

83
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: in that top forty discussion that the veteran usually kind

84
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: of falls back a little bit.

85
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's totally fair, And he may end up

86
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: being one of those boring names and everybody else is

87
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: pushing up the rookies. Sometimes sometimes it's the boring guys

88
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: that you're getting in the middle one hundred picks one

89
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: hundred to two hundred range that can really help you out.

90
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: So Kevin Gosman, let's keep that price cheap. But if

91
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: he keeps up these complete games, I don't know how

92
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: cheap that price is going to be. Toad next year.

93
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Chandler Simpson, let's talk about him. I don't know we've

94
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: talked a ton about him on the show. I don't

95
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: know if you and I have discussed Chandler Simpson. But

96
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: he went four for four yesterday, had to run and

97
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: a stolen base. He's hitting two ninety two now with

98
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: forty steals in ninety six games. There are some shortcomings

99
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: from a fantasy point of view. He has not hit

100
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: a home run. He may never hit a home run

101
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: twenty three RBI, so there are some things that you

102
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: got to worry about. But overall, Taylor Simpson, I think

103
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: does fit a specific type of fantasy team where you

104
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: do have a lot of power and you just need

105
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: to catch up in speed and in terms of stolen

106
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: bases and runs. He went in the middle of the

107
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: seventh round of that early draft you guys did right

108
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: around pick one hundred. Does that feel about right for

109
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: Chandler Simpson or does it really just come down to

110
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: the team you've constructed around him.

111
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: Well, first, it always comes down to the team. But

112
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: someone will take him by that point in a draft.

113
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: I feel like because if he starts the season with him,

114
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: which why wouldn't he At this point you're talking about

115
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: a guy that legit could steal like seventy to eighty bases.

116
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: There's no reason he can't. And if he hits two

117
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: ninety bag and never just such a frugal thing like it,

118
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: it comes down to you pair him with a jord On,

119
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: a vlad, like a Pete Alonso. So to your point

120
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: the roster construction, I'm not a guy that likes rabbits.

121
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: That's just not my forte. But Chandler Simpson will be

122
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: on many teams by six seventh round and fifteen teamer

123
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: and just for that potential to steal eighty bases, which

124
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: is really sounds crazy, is not out of the realm.

125
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: And then he mentioned the run scored. This is the

126
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: guy that could score one hundred runs while hitting two

127
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: ninety and steal lady basses. So at least he's three

128
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: out of five categories. He's not like a complete wash.

129
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, this reminds me of one Pierre. I think he

130
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: is essentially one Pierre. I don't know. Billy Hamilton also

131
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: feels kind of right, But I don't know if Billy

132
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: Hamilton was nearly as good of a pure hitter as

133
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Chandler Simpson, as he wasn't the guy that was going

134
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: to hit three hundred. Jan Pierre many times in his

135
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: career hit three hundred, stole sixty to seventy bases, scored

136
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: one hundred times. Now he hit eighteen home runs over

137
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: two thousand games, and that's probably what you could expect

138
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: out of Chandler Simpson. But in the right build, that's

139
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: very interesting. Ryan Roof the build that he took Chandler

140
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: Simpson in for this draft is fascinating. We talked about

141
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: it on Sleeper in the Bust. Kyle Schober and Kyle

142
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: Rawley the huge, huge power guys, and he paired to

143
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: with Chandler Simpson and Jacob Wilson the extreme batting average

144
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: and speed guys. Do you tend to like going on

145
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: both ends of the extreme there, or would you prefer

146
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: to play the more balanced Brian Reynolds is of the

147
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: world as opposed to the extreme ends.

148
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: Well, I never Brian Reynolds, but to your point, I'm

149
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: a boring, is beautiful, balanced type guy. More often than not,

150
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: like especially in the first few rounds, I try to

151
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: get as many five categories does as possible early on

152
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: and build around that. Again, though, like you said, if

153
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: it's roster construction, it makes a ton of sense to go.

154
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: If you go Schwarbert Rawley early, go and get your

155
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Chandler and Wilson coming up to pair with him. I

156
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: get it. It's not a build for me.

157
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: Definitely could work, though, Yeah, I think it definitely could.

158
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to follow. And Ryan Rufe is a

159
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: very smart guy and a good fantasy player, so I'm

160
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: gonna be following that team and I'll be interested to

161
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: see where it does end up in the standings. Let's

162
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: talk about Andrew Abbot, another guy who maybe has fallen

163
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: under the radar a little bit this season, but he

164
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 1: has been great for pretty much the duration of twenty

165
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: twenty five. Yesterday it was another eight innings or excuse me,

166
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: actually this one was from Wednesday. Yes, we had a

167
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: bit of a short slight, So I did take a

168
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: couple of things from Wednesday eight innings, one run ball

169
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: against the Padres, six strikeouts and two walks from mister

170
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: Andrew Abbott. For the year as a hole now at

171
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty one innings, it's a two seventy

172
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: nine ERA and a one to thirteen whip. Now, personally,

173
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: I don't love some of the supporting metrics being you know,

174
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: not what you want to see. Really, a twenty one

175
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: percent strikeout rate is whatever. He is a four to

176
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: thirty six x FIP. The Sierra is at four twenty four.

177
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: I feel like he might be a we're performing a

178
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: little bit this year, and I think Andrew Abbit might

179
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: be a guy who's overdrafted a little bit in twenty

180
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: twenty six. But but what do you feel about the young guy?

181
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: He's always a tricky one for me because he did

182
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: the same thing in the past. His stat line does

183
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: not match the underlying metrics when it comes to Andrew Rabbit, Like,

184
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: you got the two seven nine ERA, which is outstanding,

185
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: but we're talking a four to two four Sierra, which

186
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: sounds a little bit more like what Andrew Abbitt does.

187
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: Dude's got a forty eight point five percent fly ball

188
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: rate in Great American small park, but an eight point

189
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: one percent home run to fly ball. That feels like

190
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: you're just waiting for disaster. Now, he limits the hard contact.

191
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: That's part of the benefit of what he does. That's

192
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: what keeps him out of trouble. There's just a lot

193
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: of layers to him. And he's got a fifteen percent kayawalk. Again,

194
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: it's good, but not elite. Babbit's two sixty seven. There's

195
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: just a lot of things that point to a trouble

196
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: coming his way. That's how he's always operated. So Abbot

197
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: will not be a priority for me. He I would

198
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: be willing to take the Abbot risk if I knew

199
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: he had like a twenty percent k of walk. Like,

200
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: if he's striking out a ton of guys, I could

201
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: suffer the blow up once in a while from the

202
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: home runs. But if he's not striking guys out, he's

203
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: putting so many balls in play, I'm terrified.

204
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't feel like the safest floor. You really

205
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: laid it out well there. The fly balls in Great

206
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: American Ballpark, the lack of strikeouts' there's a lot to

207
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: be worried about. But I feel like in like standard

208
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: home leagues, where people are playing with their buddies, they're

209
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: not going to dig as deep. They're going to see

210
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: Andrew Rabbit had a great year on the surface, and

211
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: he's somebody that I feel like is going to be overdrafted,

212
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: and you might see him once we ramp up into

213
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. You know, six players to fade, that

214
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: type of article, that type of video. You may be

215
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: seeing Andrew Abbit in one or two of those, depending

216
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: on the price. You know. I was thinking I was

217
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: going to be saying the same thing about Mooie Bett's

218
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: heading in the next year, that he would be a

219
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: big fade, And I still think that he he may

220
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: be a fade for me, but man, has he ever

221
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: turned it around. Over the last month, Mookie Bests is

222
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: hitting three fifty two with a one seventy four WRC

223
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: plus seven homers twenty six ribies. He's been really really

224
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: good over the last month. The season numbers as a

225
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: whole are not great now, but by I think we

226
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: talked about this maybe a week or two ago, and

227
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: from what I remember, you were not the biggest of

228
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: Mookie fans at the stage of his career, as what

229
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: he's done recently kind of changed your mind a little bit,

230
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: or are you still leaning towards fading him.

231
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm still fading him unless, like you know, maybe falls

232
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: back into around two early round three conversation, which he

233
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 2: won't because there are Mookie lovers out there. The dude's

234
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: super talented. Dude had an amazing season a while back

235
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: in like you know, thirty nine homers in twenty twenty three,

236
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: thirty five and twenty twenty two. Last two seasons of

237
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: an injury filled and just overall productions down, he's had

238
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: a couple of like if he doesn't max out the power,

239
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: it's tough because he doesn't steal a ton of bases

240
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: like you're lucky. If he gets to fifteen, it's usually

241
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: ten to fourteen bases, which is what I don't want

242
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: to draft early in drafts. And that's the biggest thing.

243
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: Like he hits for average. He he scores a bunch.

244
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: He's scored over one hundred uns twice in the last

245
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: five years. He's only played over one hundred and forty

246
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: games twice in the last five years. He should pass

247
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: that this year to make it three. It's just if

248
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: you're for the premium you're paying for Mookie Betts, he

249
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: has not provided that premium consistently enough to get me

250
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: to take him early in a draft.

251
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. I just wanted to check

252
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: in because he has been just he's been awesome. He's

253
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: been going. But you know, there are a lot of

254
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: red flags as well at his age, with some of

255
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: the injury concerns, the lack of stolen bases, the fact

256
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: that as a whole this year the numbers are still very,

257
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: very far down. That barrel rate is pretty ugly for Mooi.

258
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: Betts's gotten a little bit better recently, but still one

259
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: of the worst seasons that he's put together in his career.

260
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's going to really argue that one

261
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: too too much on Mooki's And let's talk Jewan Duran.

262
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I saw you tweeted about this bubba yesterday, which made

263
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: me want to put it onto the show sheet. Jewan

264
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: Durant has been maybe the best acquisition from the trade

265
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: headline the Phillies with Duran and Harrison Bader like they

266
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: made up like gangbusters. They are looking great with those two.

267
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: But Duran in seventeen games with the Phillies won twenty

268
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: three ERA, a point eighty two whip, thirteen saves in

269
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: fourteen and two thirds, and he has not walked about

270
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: her with a thirty five percent strikeout rate. He's been phenomenal.

271
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: And even going back to Minnesota here, I mean he

272
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: is a one eighty three ERA and a one zero

273
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: nine WHIP for the season. And finally Bubba no more

274
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: Rocco Baldelli to drag down Duran with the twenty one

275
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: to twenty two save seasons. That leads me to asking,

276
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: is Juan Duran the number one closer off the board

277
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: next year or at least to see in the conversation,

278
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: I think that he should be. You know, there's been

279
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: a lot of closers this year who are very disappointing.

280
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: You got Class A who may never pitch again, Devin Williams,

281
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Helsley, like, there's been a lot of stinkers at

282
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,119
Speaker 1: the top here. I think Duran is in that conversation

283
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: for the first closer off the board, what say you

284
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent?

285
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: And this just goes to show you how it changes

286
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: of scenery changes everything because you mentioned that the stats

287
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 2: of Minnesota, the dude's been a beast, and I think

288
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: most of us in the fantasy realm have said that

289
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: year after year that it's always the part you mentioned

290
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: Rocco Baldelli screws up the fantasy value for Johan Duran

291
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: because you always got the race Jill's. He always got

292
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: the strikeouts, but the saves was the issue. Now look

293
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: at him, do you like he's on the main stage.

294
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: Like last night, watching him just gas one O two

295
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: past Soto in like high leverage spots just showed how

296
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: much of a beast he is. He's very, very good,

297
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: and there's zero reason in this setting where a team

298
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: wants to utilize him that he could not be the

299
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: number one closer in all baseball.

300
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: I think he is. You know, the more I look

301
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: at it, Mason Miller is going to be very hard

302
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: to draft next season. You know, I'm not sure what

303
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: to make of San Francisco with Walker and maybe Rodriguez.

304
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Rodriguez is injury will stretch into

305
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: next year, But so he's pretty much is he having

306
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: tj Okay, I hadn't I hadn't seen that. I had

307
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: forgotten about it, but it's a pretty rough group at

308
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: the top for closers. If you're drafting early, I think

309
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: that you are probably taking a couple of early guys

310
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: because speculating in November and December can lead you to like,

311
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: I have a couple of Alexis Diaz and Luke Weaver

312
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: teams early on. So I feel like if you're drafting

313
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: early and you can get a Duran and Daz Combo

314
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: or something like that could be very appealing and you

315
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: might see him go off the board as the first

316
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: closer next year, maybe in the in the third round

317
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: or something like that. I want to talk agus Wizardo

318
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: the man, this guy. I started him in my head

319
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: to had League yesterday where I've been dominating in ratios,

320
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: and I looked up to the first inning and I'm like,

321
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: this guy did it again, four more earned runs. You know,

322
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: my my dms were lighting up with people like how

323
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: could he? He did it again? He did it again.

324
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: And then after those four runs in the first inning,

325
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Hazes Lozardo ended up throwing eight frames, he struck out ten,

326
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: He didn't allow another run after the first inning, and

327
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, his season has been very curious to say

328
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: the least, because there's been times where HAZs Ozardo has

329
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: been brilliant. He is still very high up if you're

330
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: looking at war leader boards and things like that. But

331
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: it's a four to ZHO three era and a one

332
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: twenty six whip. It's not really anything to write home

333
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: about from a fantasy point of view. Where are you

334
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: at on hazus Azardo. Is he somebody you'd buy back

335
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: into for next season or are you just sick of

336
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: the headaches like I am at this point.

337
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: It's a great conversation that had a conversation that's been

338
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: in the Bud one Room discord a lot this season

339
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: because Lozardo was a very popular target of mine. I

340
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: love the price tag on him because he's basically free

341
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: coming over to Philadelphia this year. He won't be free,

342
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: but I'll be in. I really like what we're seeing here.

343
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: He had the hiccups early. They mentioned he was potentially

344
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: tipping pitches. Maybe he was, because if you really look

345
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: at it, since July twenty ninth, he's made nine starts.

346
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: Dude has a two nine to one ERA, a three

347
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 2: one nine x FIP over that stretch of time. We're

348
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: talking about a twenty three point six percent. Kate to

349
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: walk what we saw last night, where like, yeah, we

350
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: saw the four runs coming out the gate, and like

351
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: you weren't alone. We were like, oh no, everything's blow

352
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: every every chat you could be in Joe was blowing up,

353
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: like here we go again. And then the dude just

354
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: went he's shut down, like twenty two in a row

355
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: or something like that. He was just filthy, absolutely filthy

356
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: on a big stage taking down the rivals. I love

357
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: everything we have to see about this guy. Let's not

358
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: forget he's battled so many injuries. He hasn't had the

359
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: long seasons in a while. This is huge for him

360
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: and I'm I'm definitely definitely interested in him next year

361
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: when it comes to draft time.

362
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I will be too. I think a

363
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: lot of the frustrations are more anecdotal of just like,

364
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: my god, every time I seem to look at the

365
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: fantasy app, this guy's given up a bunch of runs.

366
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: But the season as a like, when you are at

367
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: a twenty percent strikeout minus walk rate, for me, that

368
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: is a signifier of you are having an elite season.

369
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't really care what the other numbers look like.

370
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: And maybe that's wrong with me. Maybe I'm being a

371
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: little bit too short sighted there, But there are fifteen

372
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: pitchers in Major League Baseball who have a twenty percent

373
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: strikeout minus walk rate or higher, and I feel like

374
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: once you hit that number, you are in pretty rarefied air,

375
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: and haes' Resardo is among those names. He's having still

376
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: a pretty good season, even though it has been frustrating

377
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: at certain points. If you happen to sit him for

378
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: those two real stinkers earlier on in the year, then

379
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: the overall line is looking a lot better for you

380
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: would have been tough to avoid. But I rest my

381
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: case there. Let's talk Jackson Holiday, another guy that we

382
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: haven't really talked about enough. He went two for four

383
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: with a run in a stolen base yesterday. For the

384
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: season as a whole, it's one hundred and thirty six games,

385
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: seventeen homers, sixteen steals, fifty four ribbies. He's hitting two

386
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: fifty two. It's like the Larry David Gift where he

387
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: goes you know, it's it's fine, it's okay. But I

388
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: feel like maybe we're overrating Jackson Holiday a little bit.

389
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: At the same time, I'm thinking, while he's still very young.

390
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's only been a year and a half,

391
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: so I don't really know where to put him in

392
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: terms of rankings and stuff. He might blow up next year.

393
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: He might give you another season that's fairly average next year.

394
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: Do you think twenty twenty six will be when Jackson

395
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: Holliday puts it all together? Finally?

396
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: I'll be very interested in it because I look at

397
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: his monthly splits. I see there's like I actually roster

398
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: him in one league, in his twelve team league, and

399
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: I nearly dropped him a few months back because I

400
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: was so frustrated that he went on a tear against

401
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: like every other month for him if you watch his splits.

402
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: But he's twenty one, to your point, super young, top

403
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: top prospect, overall number one pick. I believe at one

404
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: point in time there's a lot to like in that regard.

405
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: And we're talking about a second base position. Joe, it's booty.

406
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: It's bad, like really bad. So if you've got a

407
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: guy that can, potentially, if you like, take just a

408
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: small step forward, go twenty twenty for Youhy hitting two

409
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: sixty on an Oriols team, I think we can all

410
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: agree will be better next year as long as they

411
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: don't have a million injuries. I'm very interested. I guy

412
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: like Jackson Holiday because like the hope was there for him,

413
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: he's kind of showing it not twenty one. Yeah, at

414
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: a bad position. I'm very interested.

415
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think I can be talked into

416
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: it at the right price. Now, I've seen some people

417
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: that really like Jackson Holiday and maybe want to pay

418
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: a price that I wouldn't be comfortable with. In your

419
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: draft here from a couple of weeks ago, I guess

420
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: it's closer to like a month ago.

421
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: Now.

422
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: He went in the tenth round.

423
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: That's not bad. That's it's one hundred and fifty picks.

424
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: That's not bad.

425
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: That That is fine with me. That is totally fine.

426
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: If he starts going fourth, fifth round and people are saying, well,

427
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: he's going you know, Matt Holiday's son, and blah blah blah,

428
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: that's where it start to be a little bit nervous.

429
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: But that Hall of Fame pedigree is definitely something. Well,

430
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: I guess Matt Holiday is not a Hall of Famer,

431
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: but he was close. He was he was close enough, and.

432
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: He's the hall is pretty good. According to Twitter, they

433
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: had that that Twitter feed is pretty entertaining.

434
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: I will say it is. It is fun stuff. And

435
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: their Instagram page too, is like even bigger. It's like

436
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: two or three times the size, and they actually do

437
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: like the votes. They changed their criteria. They used to

438
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: have a you know, it was a you had to

439
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: be a real kind of niche player, and now they

440
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: got like Paul Knerko and stuff going in there. It's like, Okay,

441
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: he had like four hundred fifty homers. Maybe he's more

442
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: closer to All of Fame than Hall of pretty good,

443
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: but I'll leave that one alone there. But guys, I

444

477
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: Guys, let's take a couple of your questions here, Camp

478
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: Burger or Josh Young and a five y five with

479
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: hits instead of average. It's an interesting question. Burger's picked

480
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: it up a little bit, but Auto Camp has been

481
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: pretty solid himself. But where do you lean on this one?

482
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: I'm going to Burger.

483
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 2: Dude's good like I know he says hits, he doesn't

484
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: care about power. But I'm assuming that five by five

485
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: there are other factors involved there to give me Jake Burger.

486
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I assume that there's still home run in RBI

487
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: and run categories, and home run beautifully helps out with

488
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: four of those categories. So take Jake Berger there, Royce

489
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Lewis or Mark Biento. So would you drop Wilson Contreras

490
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: for til ho Man? Ryan and I talked about this

491
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: on Monday. Will we see or teal? It's a tricky one.

492
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't really have a big problem going either way.

493
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: I think they're very close in terms of Lewis or Viano's.

494
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: I also honestly think it's a coin flip. I think

495
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: it's really close. But I might go Lewis, but but

496
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: where are you at on these ones very tough questions.

497
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Lewis, but Patrick Corman on Saturday speaks

498
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: volumes to Mike Fiantos. I'll go Royce Lewis, though it's fat,

499
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: Ryan Nelson, Mabille, Chris Matt this weekend, and he's swinging

500
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: it pretty well, So take the chance on Royce. When

501
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: it comes to the catching situation, I love both of them.

502
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: I hope Teal gets I'm hoping Teal gets overlooked with

503
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 2: all the young catchers that are bawling out this year

504
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty six, so I kind of actually want

505
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: to go Teal, honestly, because the White Sox are actually

506
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 2: hitting better than the Cardinals right now, so there's more

507
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: options for Teal.

508
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: Man catcher is gonna be fine. I'm really looking for it.

509
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: I might just sit down and rank catchers tonight, actually,

510
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: in honor of doing another show. Have a beer.

511
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: I'll do it with you, like it's something I do.

512
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: Almost just kidding me daily catcher rankings. That would be

513
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: imagine updating rankings on a daily basis. I'd lose my mind.

514
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: Not gonna happen.

515
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: It's Sproute Worth starting versus Washington next week. I think

516
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: I'd probably start myself against Washington at the time, being Bubba,

517
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah?

518
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: No, if you picked Sprout up, you are starting him

519
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: versus Washington.

520
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: Yes, we have Jamison ty One as a possible two

521
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: star pitcher next week. Let me trust all right, let

522
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: me check my trustee schedule here. Yeah, it looks like

523
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: he does. It's a beauty actually at Pittsburgh at Cincinnati,

524
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: that's that's gold. That's gold. Jerry, go to the way

525
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: we wire see if you can find Jameson Tyon. That's

526
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: beautiful stuff. I'm chasing w's, k's and whip. I have

527
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: three starters available today. Can you rank or eliminate any

528
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: that are too risky? Trevor Rodgers against the Blue Jays,

529
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez against the Diamondbacks, Jonah tong against Texas oh Man.

530
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: Trevor Rodgers has been great, Pablo Lopez look good in

531
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: his first start back. I think it's Lopez, Rogers and

532
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: Tongue for me in that order probably.

533
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 2: I would say that as well, and just no Tongue

534
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 2: did walk a lot of guys' first times. If you're

535
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: really worried about whip, be wary. But yeah, Rogers, Lopez,

536
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 2: Tom would be my order. I would personally start all three.

537
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: If you're chasing wins and ks, just know the whip

538
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 2: could be in question.

539
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: I got this Rodo Wear shirt that I ordered. They

540
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: did the you know, the Canadian South Park like how

541
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: they got the weird faces for the Canadian guys. They

542
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: did one with Jonah Toong. I ordered that thing in

543
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: about five seconds.

544
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: That could be amazing.

545
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: It was fantastic. Yeah, shout out to Kenny and Rote

546
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: where they make. They make some great stuff. Another weekend

547
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: lineup decisions, see I Royce Lewis at Home versus Arizona

548
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: or Torklsen at Miami in a Roto League. I think

549
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm going with Royce Lewis right now. He's been cooking

550
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: with gas, but I don't have a strong opinion either

551
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: way here.

552
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's who I ho. I'm actually thinking Lewis is

553
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: swinging it better than Tork. But Tork gets sandy on

554
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: Friday with the Jansen junk and Masour on Saturday and Sunday.

555
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: Those are two elite matchups right now, so I think

556
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: I leaned Torq weirdly enough.

557
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, Harry asking any two star pitchers that catch

558
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: your eye for next week. Well, Jamison Tyo, and I

559
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: think there's a decent chance that he might have been

560
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: dropped or available in some leagues. I doubt it still

561
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: at this point, but Kyle Bradish as of like a

562
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: week ago, was still kind of available if you're playing

563
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: in deeper leagues or high stakes, forget it. But he

564
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: gets the White Sox and then the Yankees. Zach Lytel

565
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: at Saint Louis versus Chicago is pretty good. Uh, Bubba's

566
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: favorite pitcher in the world. Kyle Freeland has a two

567
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: start week next week. Uh, dare you? It's hilarious because

568
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: he's actually been like nothing.

569
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: To about that since I started talking trash. He's been

570
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: really good, which is awesome for my brand.

571
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: But the second, the second anybody starts Kyle Freeland in

572
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: a playoff matchup, you you deserve whatever happens at that point.

573
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: We'll put it that much.

574
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: One other I'd mentioned, uh because I love the tie on.

575
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 2: I love there's a world where Tyler Wells gets a

576
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: two step two if they get Goofy. If Kramer doesn't

577
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: come back Thursday, that's up in the air. But I

578
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: like the bradish call.

579
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

580
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 2: The only other one that is pretty much locked in

581
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: that I would out there as Costanza. Jason Alexander gets

582
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: Texas and Seattle. He's been pretty good overall as well.

583
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: There was one more that I was looking, Oh yeah,

584
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: it was Jason Alexander Texas and Seattle. I think is

585
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: also a pretty viable one. So there are some options.

586
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: There are definitely some options, but be careful right this

587
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: time of year. You pick up a guy thinking, okay,

588
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: it's two starts next week, and then all it takes

589
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: is one guy getting moved back one injury. Joey Wentz

590
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: last week looked like he was going to have two starts.

591
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 1: Something gets changed around, and all of a sudden it's

592
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: becomes one not so great start. Do we have any

593
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: more questions right now? I think that's probably it for

594
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: right now, So we'll keep throwing the questions in. We'll

595
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: get back to them if you guys have some a

596
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: little bit later on. But let's go onto the three

597
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: up and three down Auto Kemp two for four with

598
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: the homer, couple runs and three ribis. He's looking pretty solid.

599
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: But I really wanted to focus in on Bryce Miller.

600
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: First time I've actually had any confidence or faith in

601
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Bryce Miller seeing him on the mound. He did allow

602
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: four and runs, but he struck out eleven over five

603
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: and two thirds. This is a guy coming into the

604
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: year that we were talking about as a top twenty,

605
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: top twenty five star picture. He was great in twenty

606
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: twenty four. It's been a horrible injury plagued year for

607
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: Bryce Miller. Will you buy back in Babba.

608
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: No, not until he fixes his arm, the fact that

609
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: he tried to rehab through whatever's going on that elbow, shoulder, whatever, anymore,

610
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 2: I'm still concerned. It's been four and runs the more

611
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: than three out of four starts. This is the first

612
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 2: start he racked up strikeouts. He had not done that

613
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: in the previous four. Maybe he dominates the next few

614
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: months and has a good postseason and changes my mind,

615
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: but I'm probably gonna miss out on him. I missed

616
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: out on Brian Wu for the same reasons, but more

617
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 2: often than not, if you avoid these type of pictures,

618
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 2: it does benefit you in the end.

619
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: One thing too about the Mariners pictures. It was more

620
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: pronounced last season, but their home and awayte splits are

621
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: pretty stark. And it's not to say that you like,

622
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: don't want to start them away from T Mobile. I

623
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: was about to call it Safego field for a second.

624
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what is wrong with me. That's that's

625
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: what I would have said. Probably, So that's way off.

626
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: But the home and awayte splits for all these guys,

627
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: do you give you a little bit of concern? And

628
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: when you're talking about okay, if it's like wo and

629
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: Gilbert and be all right whatever, But Bryce Miller, a

630
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: guy who's really struggled this year, that does give me

631
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of extra added concern. So I agree that,

632
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, if he's like post pick two hundred or something, sure,

633
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: but I don't think he'll fall that far. I think

634
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: he'll still be somebody that people are interested in, and

635
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I want to be investing in the

636
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: immediate future. Stephen Colak had a really nice stream yesterday

637
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: six and two thirds against Cleveland, one earned run on

638
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: three hits. Also struck out four very very nice stuff.

639
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: But we're Howard for against a team like Cleveland Right

640
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: now on the down. Sawyer Gibson Long had a brutal,

641
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: brutal outing at Yankee Stadium, seven earned runs on seven

642
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: hits with three strikeouts. He didn't start technically, it was

643
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: Tyler Holton, but Sawyer Gibson Long followed and took the

644
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: brunt of this one. Jose Soriano lasted just four innings

645
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: against the Mariners, allowed three earned runs on five hits

646
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: and three walks, and Travis Darna to wrap it up,

647
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: just missing the golden sombrero, oh for four with three strikeouts.

648
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: But any any deep thoughts on Sawyer Gibson Long or

649
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: Jose Soriano. I think for Soriano, I think people view

650
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: him as maybe a little bit better than he actually is.

651
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: I think he's more mediocre than good. But I don't

652
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: know what do you think about him.

653
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: I'm a Sorano fan streaming wise, like he's not locked

654
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: in every time through. He's just been really like more

655
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: volatile than usual of late, and they keep moving him around,

656
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: like he was supposed to pitch on Wednesday and then

657
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: they moved him to Thursday so they could start someone else,

658
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: like they're they're toying with things, and I don't know

659
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: if that's great for Jose Soriano as well. Pitch is

660
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: much better at home than on the road. That's been

661
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 2: a proven fact. So I like Soriano. I think he's

662
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: always a guy to target, especially in like a DC format.

663
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: I think he's great there. But yeah, people probably do

664
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: like him more than they should.

665
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a bad pitcher. I think he's

666
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: I think he's a fine pitcher, but he's not somebody

667
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: like I said it and forget it, like you mentioned there,

668
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: Chris Sanchez at the Dodgers, Blake Snell at Philly, BeO

669
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: at Tampa all Worth starting Blake Snell and Chris Sanchez

670
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent that start them against the twenty seven

671
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: Yankees on the moon at this point. And for Brian BeO,

672
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: I think he probably is, but Bubba doesn't seem as interested.

673
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: He's been good, but the venue's not great.

674
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: That's what concerns me is the venue, Like Beyo has

675
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: been good, doesn't strike out a lot of guys. Like,

676
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: if you need to fight for a win, go for it.

677
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 2: If you're concerned at all about your ratios, I would

678
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: temper expectations.

679
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I have to agree there. I don't

680
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: know how much I trust him going forward, but Sanchez

681
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: and Bake Snell I think absolutely auto starts. I sat

682
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: Shitler because yesterday because the troy had been killing the

683
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: Yanks and paid the price. Similar for your today with Tong.

684
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: Should I play him against Texas in a finals matchup

685
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: if I don't have to, if you don't have to,

686
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: if you don't feel the need to the no. I

687
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't start Cy Young himself if I didn't need to

688
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: in a head to head matchup. But I also don't

689
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a disaster for Jonah Tong.

690
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: I got him on one of the bets later on today.

691
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: He's affiliated with one of the bets, so we'll talk

692
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: about him a little bit later. Let's get into some

693
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: of the injury updates, and we got a couple of

694
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: baffling ones off the top here. Anthony Volpi has been

695
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: playing through a partial tear in his labor for most

696
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: of the season, but the Yankees don't believe he'll need

697
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: to go on the il Yankees. I think he might

698
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: need to go on the IEL just based on the

699
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: fact that he kicks the ball around the infield. Every

700
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: time I happen to see him play is eighty one

701
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: WRC plus. He's been bad. He's been straight up bad.

702
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing here, Bubba. This I

703
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: think happened in May, and I guess they're worried about, like, oh,

704
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: who are we gonna put out at short? Maybe not

705
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: the injured guy who's struggling the whole year. Makes sense.

706
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: Why he can't throw the ball, that's a start. He

707
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: has a quarter zone shot on Wednesday. Apparently he hadn't

708
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: at the All Star break too, that we did not

709
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: know about until yesterday. About four different moments yesterday, different

710
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: news came out about how bad the shoulder is. Like

711
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: the latest Dimmri this week showed more of a tear

712
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: than before. Okay, then maybe stop just throwing this out there.

713
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: I thought I didn't stay on a holiday and express,

714
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 2: but maybe don't do this.

715
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. There's just so much stupidity that

716
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm seeing and I don't really understand it. We got

717
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: a super chat actually though, start Lucas Giolito. Today. Ge

718
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: Alito's matchup is who's Giledo? Who are they facing? Bubba?

719
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 2: The Yankees at home in Boston. I'd start Gilido.

720
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think you are. I think you are.

721
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: He's pitched me a little bit of pause. He's another

722
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: guy like Bao. I think it's almost the same thing.

723
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: Like I trust him because he's been pitching really well

724
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: right now, but like the guy I want to invest in,

725
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: like for next season looking forward. I don't know necessarily

726
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: the Yankees worrying me a little bit. I think you're

727
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: starting him, but he doesn't give me that warm and

728
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: fuzzy feeling at the same time, if that makes sense

729
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: with mister Giulio. Yeah, thank you for the super chat though,

730
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: really do appreciate that coming in here. And here's another

731
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: baffling baffling one. Mason Win diagnosed with a meniscus tear

732
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: in his right kne that will require offseason surgery. He's

733
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: been told it's unlikely he'll do adittional damage additional damage

734
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: if he continues to play, but he was out of

735
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: the lineup for both Tuesday and Wednesday. Haven't seen a

736
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: Friday lineup yet. But Bubba, what are they doing? This

737
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: is a team that is completely out of the race.

738
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: This is their shortstop of the future. Why not just

739
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: shut him down. I don't get it. I agree.

740
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: You had the same comments on last night's blub in

741
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: the Bloom, like they're out of it. He's a short

742
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: stump of the future. You have Thomas Agacy that can

743
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: fill in, who's also a potential middle infielder of the future.

744
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: What are we doing? It's the Cardinals. Man, it's been

745
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: a free fall over the last I don't know really

746
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: since Pooholes left. I guess there was a couple of

747
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: good years afterwards. I went into another World series. But man,

748
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: like really really ugly stuff. I don't know what they're doing.

749
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: Just sit him down. You're not playing for anything. He's

750
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: been killing fantasy team for people who have still been

751
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: starting him. Just enough enough already. Joe Adell returned to

752
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: the Angels lineup on Wednesday, but was scratched again on

753
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: Thursday as he continues to battle Vertigo. We had a

754
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: question about him as well. We don't see this injury

755
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: kind of that often. I just lost Tucker and Anthony.

756
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: Any insight on the timeline for Joe Adell, I have none,

757
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Because he was back in

758
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: the lineup, it looked like he was going to be

759
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: in the line up on Tuesday as well, and then

760
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 1: he was scratched. It really does seem day to day

761
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: at this point, another team where I feel like, honestly,

762
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: they're not playing for anything. I don't think there's even

763
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: they can't even delude themselves into thinking they can. At

764
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: this point, sixty nine and seventy eight shut him down.

765
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: It's a guy who is on a forty home run

766
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: pace for your team. He finally figured it out this year.

767
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: You don't want to push him through vertigo playing meaningless games.

768
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, And that's the thing is you said you

769
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: don't know. The Angels don't know. Like literally every day

770
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: this week he's outside of against Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

771
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: He's been in the lineup Tuesday and Thursday. He was

772
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: scratching out before the game, like they he goes through

773
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: warm ups and that's when they decide, Okay, he can orycan't.

774
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: It's it's almost worse than the concussion, honestly, it's it's

775
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: wild what he's going through. So there's really nothing you

776
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: can do. And it's an absolute shame because the Angels

777
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 2: actually have a good series and they go to Colorado

778
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: next week, so yeah.

779
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: It really is a shame. But I r thank you

780
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: for that question, the Luca Shielido question. He says, thanks

781
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: Jean Bubball, love the show and listen to both of

782
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: your own shows. Very very much appreciated, my friend, Thank

783
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: you so much for that. Let's talk Redeptmer's another bit

784
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: of good news for the Angels here. Redeptmer is going

785
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: on the fifteen day il with elbow inflammation. Baffling career

786
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: for Redeptmer's. You know, I feel like I don't even

787
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing anymore when I look at the stats.

788
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: Underneath the surface, Redetmer should be good. Redemmer should have

789
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: been a very good pitcher, relegated to the bullpen, had

790
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: a mediocre year out of the pen. Now he's dealing

791
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: with elbow stuff. You ever you think we'll ever see

792
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: reed Demer's flourish as a starting pitcher or do you

793
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: think he's going to be relegated to these bullpen middle

794
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: relief type of roles.

795
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: I'd love to see him as a starting PITCHERC So

796
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I've been team Reid for a while.

797
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: He's basically doing what we hoped Reid could do. Is

798
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: what are Rabbit's doing. That's but they have the flip

799
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: script like Reid has the underlying stuff. The Cato walks,

800
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: that's all freaking beautiful and it doesn't work out, so

801
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: I hope. So he also could turn into a really

802
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: good closer, So he's got the goods for that too,

803
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: So that's maybe that's a transition he has to make

804
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: and we'll see where it goes. Bright side is is

805
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: they kind of got to whatever injury. This is early

806
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: and it looks like there's nothing too serious. Angels are

807
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: out of it. Let him resku, you're ready for twenty

808
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: twenty six.

809
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: That's hopefully what's going to happen here. When you see elbow,

810
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: it always gives you pause. Hopefully no surgical procedures, but

811
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like it at this point. William Contreras

812
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: had to miss Wednesday's game of the Forum Contusion and

813
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: will be reevaluated before tonight's series opener against the Cardinals

814
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: by a concern level. Here for your boy, wild Bill.

815
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: Wild Bill, Yes, good old wild Bill. I am not

816
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: another guy that was in the line of beforehand. He

817
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: hadn't had a day off and forever they say, like

818
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: originally the Beat writers thought it was just legit, just ay,

819
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: given the guy a breather on a day game here,

820
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 2: I think we're fine. He played through a fractured pinky

821
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: or whatever, so I think we're good.

822
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I got to agree. He's really turned

823
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: his season around. Just hoping this is nothing too serious,

824
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: and obviously it's not a good time of year for

825
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: fantasy managers, but just hoping that nothing keeps Willy out

826
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: for two too long. Chase Dollander expected to head to

827
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: the Ale with a knee injury. My god, we were

828
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: looking at this myself and Paul Sport the other day,

829
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: and the home and away splits for Chase Dollander are

830
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: some of the most hilarious extreme splits you will ever

831
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: see in your life. At home, he is a nine

832
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: to ninety eight era. The opposing slash line is three

833
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: thirty seven, four seventeen, five seventy seven. He's essentially facing

834
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer every time he throws a pitch

835
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: at home on the road into three forty six CRA

836
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: with a two hundred batting average against. Are you holding

837
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: out hope for Dollander if you're a dynasty manager, Like,

838
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: where are you at on him? In terms of the

839
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: long run, because Colorado has control for the next five

840
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: or six years and you can't really draft him as

841
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: a starting pitcher in Colorado. But will you hold up

842
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: hope that he can figure it out somewhere else down

843
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: the line?

844
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: Maybe you hold out hope that the skills are great

845
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: and dynasty can you wait five or six years? No,

846
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: I think he's phenomenal for a DC Joe because he

847
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: could legit just start him on the road like that's

848
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: because it's just it goes to show you and you

849
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: read the stats. Coors Field is undefeated, folks. It just is,

850
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: at least for the Rocky starting pitchers. They just outside

851
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: of like a new ball to him in is and

852
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 2: and Herman Mark kids, like one season each nothing has worked.

853
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Air Cross was asking this on Twitter the other day,

854
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: our friend of air Cross, do you think three Schooble

855
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: would have a sub three ERA pitching at course Field.

856
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: I think he would, But it's also like Corsefield is tricky,

857
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: Like the best pitcher they've ever had probably is a

858
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: Baldajamenez and he was like a three five ERA at home.

859
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: I feel like Scooball would be pretty close, but they

860
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: go to your point, like they don't have good pitchers,

861
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: and maybe part of it is that they were okay

862
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: pitches that they brought up, but just course, Field just

863
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: absolutely ruined any prospects for their career. So Dollander, I

864
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: feel like if he ever gets traded, I would be

865
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: very interested for right now. Like you said, Bubba, if

866
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: he's a Draft Champions type of pick in the thirties

867
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: of the forties, you start him ten twelve times, you're

868
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: happy in standard ten to twelve team leagues. I think

869
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: he is a very very hard player to target. Xander

870
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: Bogarts has been clear to resume baseball activities and might

871
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: play again this season. Might be the operative word. Any

872
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: interest in stashing Xander Bogart's here, Bubba, if you need

873
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: a middle infielder.

874
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 2: Not really, because that word might kind of hampers things

875
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: right now when I need all I can get out

876
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: of my roster.

877
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 1: Agreed two more pitchers here. On the injury front, Cole

878
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: Reagan's will have another rehab start tonight at Triple A. Omaha.

879
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,439
Speaker 1: I think if he's available and he's like a free

880
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: pick up or whatever, it doesn't hurt, Like maybe you

881
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: get one start out of him, maybe you get two

882
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: in the Fantasy championships for you and head to head leagues.

883
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's going to be like a

884
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: big contribution necessarily, but if you're looking at the waiver

885
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: wire and Reagan's has a start versus you know, the

886
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 1: average streamer Bubba, would you be interested there?

887
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be interested. At that point, He's supposed to

888
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: go four to five innings tonight, and if that actually

889
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: pans out, then he can maybe give you a couple

890
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: of starts of five innings or so. The Royals is

891
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 2: technically still in the race, so we'll see where that goes,

892
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: and they might they want to get him at least

893
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: ready just in case they make it to the postseason,

894
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 2: so he could be in play.

895
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: I think that ship has saled, but that could be

896
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: where they're at still for sure. Mike Soroka last bit

897
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: of injury news here through thirty eight pitches in the

898
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: rehab start and struck out three over two and a third.

899
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: But it doesn't look like, based on that pitch count,

900
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: that he's going to really be built up enough to

901
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: matter again this season. But I actually do like Mike Soroka.

902
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: I feel like next season he would be a decent

903
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: deep not even a mid round. I think. I think

904
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: he's a deep draft pick next year that could pay

905
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: some dividends. Some of the supporting numbers are pretty decent

906
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: for Mike Soroka. But that will lead us into my

907
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: favorite segment of the show, the best bets of the day.

908
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: But about what do you have with the people here

909
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: to send them off with this fine Friday?

910
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: All right, the usual mess of hits runs and RB ice.

911
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 2: People must love these props by now, but we're gonna

912
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: start with Big Vinnie p the Sasquatch himself as I

913
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: don't know if anybody is aware, but we have the

914
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 2: return of Walker Bueller on the mound in Philadelphia tonight

915
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: of all places, pretty good hitters ball Park. Vinnip over

916
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 2: three hits runs and RBIs a plus one forty lock.

917
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: That one in just hit his thirtieth home run of

918
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: the year on Thursday. We'll get back to him later.

919
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 2: Bryce Terrang over three hits runs and RBIs at plus

920
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: one forty five. The brew crew is feeling it at

921
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: the plate and they get to place Andrew Pollante, so

922
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: Terrang leading off to be able to get going there

923
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna keep rolling the riding at the

924
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: roller coaster at Jackson Merrill. He went deep again on Thursday.

925
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 2: He's actually hitting really really well over the last week.

926
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: Like we're getting back to kind of looking at the

927
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 2: guy everyone loved early in drafts. I still don't, but

928
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: he's getting better. Over three hits runs at RBIs at

929
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: plus one forty as the San Diego Padres take on

930
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: mister Gordon of Colorado. So love those matchups, sir.

931
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: I love Jackson Merrill, man. I know it's a bad

932
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: year for him, but I'm kind of just gonna throw

933
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: it away when evaluating him. I think it's just a

934
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: lost year, similarly to what happened with Bobashet last year.

935
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: When you deal with injuries and it's just a down season,

936
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: the numbers are gonna look terrible. But I feel like

937
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: when we look back in a few years on Jackson Merrill,

938
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five will be the outlier bad year somebody

939
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: that I really really like. For me, I'm looking at

940
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: an over, an under, and a strikeout prop. So we're

941
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: starting with Texas and the Mets, Jacob Degram and Jonah

942
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: Toong here. I'm taking under seven and a half runs

943
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: now tongue is a little bit worrisome potentially. Maybe you

944
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: mentioned those walk issues in his last start, But I

945
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: really like Jonah Toong. I might be a little bit

946
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: biased here, but I really like Jonah Toong. I think

947
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: the stuff is fantastic. Going up against Jacob b Gramm

948
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: and getting this one close to even money, I'll take

949
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: the under seven and a half. The Angels and Seattle

950
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: were going the other side here and we are going over.

951
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: This is Yusse Kakuchi, who has been absolutely miserable for

952
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: a while, going up against Luis Castillo, who's also I

953
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: know he had a good start his most recent start,

954
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: but by and large Luis Castillo has been pretty poor

955
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: as of so I'm taking the over seven and a

956
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: half runs in that game at minus one twenty two.

957
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: And then Jacob deGrom. I know I'm not beating the

958
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: allegations of loving my guys. I love my guys. Jacob

959
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: Bigram over six and a half strikeouts at plus one sixteen.

960
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, he hasn't been going as deep into games recently,

961
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: but the strikeout totals have been there for him, more

962
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: so in the second half of the season than they

963
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: were early on, so six and a half does feel

964
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: like a very gettable line here at plus one sixteen.

965
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: If you guys are looking for help with placing your

966
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: bets though, do check out the prop bet cheat sheet

967
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: from betting Pros. It does help you with placing your

968
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: bets on a given day. If you're looking for new markets,

969
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: you're looking for the best lines, the prop bet cheat

970
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: sheet is where you should be looking. Let's take a

971
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: look now at the home run board. I believe we

972
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: have a home run board. We do, and Whips is

973
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: at the top here with sixty, followed by George at

974
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: fifty nine, Positive Grouch fifty eight, tied with Bees as

975
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: well at fifty eight, and then the Fisher King at

976
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: fifty seven. You know, Whips is not pulling away but

977
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: at the top there with just a couple of weeks left,

978
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 1: so potentially could be winning the signed Sammy Sosa jersey.

979
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: That one will be fun to see what happens down

980
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: the stretch here, Bubba, you did leave some foreshadowing on

981
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: your home run call. Let's hear it, my friend. Yeah.

982
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler in his last his first triple A start

983
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 2: for the Phillies, his first battery face hit a home

984
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 2: run off of him, so he's still on brand right now.

985
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 2: The Royals should have a field day. They are a

986
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: bad offense, but they should have some fun in the

987
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 2: first you know, three innings or so on Friday night,

988
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 2: and that means Vinnie Pascatino faces him at least twice.

989
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: I think Vinnie Pascatino's going deep home number thirty one

990
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 2: and in the bank on Friday evening.

991
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: Walker Buehler man take those overs, bet the overs and

992
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: as I say that, he's probably going six shutow.

993
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I jined it completely like but it's I'll

994
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 2: think my chance is more often than not.

995
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: The ghost of Walker Buhler with no sticky stuff post

996
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: DJ and no good for my home run call. I

997
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: am taking the Ben Verlander special. I'm saying that Showhy

998
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: is going to take justin Verlander yard today and leave

999
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: Ben not knowing what to do with himself. So that

1000
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: is my pick. Couple of last questions here semi finals

1001
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: match up. Both autos are out there, Kemp and Lopez.

1002
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: Which one you take it? I like Auto Lopez quite

1003
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: a bit, Bubba, but I feel I like both of them.

1004
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: I think they're both viable pickups.

1005
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, both are very good pickups. I yeah, I go,

1006
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: I go. Who They've got both autos, got the bus

1007
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: driver and the substitute bus driver as we call him.

1008
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 2: I think Lopez. If you want a better floor, Kim's

1009
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 2: got the ceiling, though, especially if you're using them for

1010
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 2: the weekend. You want this just for one day. But

1011
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: Kim's got a good match good good set of matchups

1012
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 2: versus Kansas City and that ballpark.

1013
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: All right, drop PCA for Auto Ben and Tendi or

1014
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,280
Speaker 1: half holy crap, I think I'm pretty okay with it. Bubba,

1015
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: who would you drop him for?

1016
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 2: This might surprise people, but I'm gonna say Benny Biceps.

1017
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: He has a really good schedule coming up. Like he's

1018
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 2: got Biby and Chaconi and Messi this weekend, which could

1019
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 2: be a little tricky, but next week they get five

1020
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 2: lefties in six games and it's pretty favorable, especially over

1021
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: the weekend. So I'm just gonna ride the hot hand

1022
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: of Benny Bisep these days.

1023
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: I think I would too. You know, it's been a

1024
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 1: pretty underrat season for him. He's had a pretty quality career.

1025
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: You know, He's not somebody that's been like a big

1026
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: fantasy asset. Really for his career, but a very solid

1027
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: career for Ben and Tande and he's got paid. So

1028
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: congrats to him on a very good career, not that

1029
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: it's over yet. Looking for second base help with speed,

1030
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: had to head Cabalira, Holiday or Stott. Mike go Stott.

1031
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: If you really need spar No, if you need speed,

1032
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: I Michael Cabairo.

1033
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: It's Cabairo, especially if vulp he's missing more time right now,

1034
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 2: Cave he had two more steels on Thursday night. He's

1035
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 2: running wild, So it's Cabairo. If if Vulpi gets shut down,

1036
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 2: Cabairera's me very valuable for two weeks.

1037
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the speed has been there. I'm not sure if

1038
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 1: it's HIMR Chandler Simpson at the top of the speed leaderboard,

1039
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: but they are next to back.

1040
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: There has thirty forty steels I think in his part

1041
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 2: time role this season.

1042
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: That's phenomenal. I mean, you know last year he kind

1043
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: of did the same thing and then going into draft

1044
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: Skias and everybody was like, I don't want anything to

1045
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: do with Cabairo and he essentially carbon copied exactly what

1046
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: he did drop PCA for Bader in a heartbeat. Absolutely

1047
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: no question there and the last question, what pitchers always

1048
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: streaming today? Lord Keller, Uh, today is not my favorite

1049
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: day for Yeah, none of the above really if you

1050
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: can avoid it. Perez gets Cleveland, I guess it's not

1051
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: the end of the world, but honestly, it's kind of

1052
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: a stayaway day for me. There's nobody that I feel

1053
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: great about, especially if you're in the head to head

1054
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: league and you're trying to secure a championship. It's pretty

1055
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: dark out there.

1056
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, most teams have their like aces going for the

1057
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 2: most part, So if there is a stream available, I

1058
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 2: am probably like I'm just scrolling through the love rosters like, uh,

1059
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 2: Martin Perez versus the Guardians, I have no problem with.

1060
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: Guardians are horrific and Martin Prez. Perez got hit around

1061
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 2: his last start, but before that's been great. So if

1062
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 2: you want to stream where that's pretty much the only

1063
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 2: streamer I see viable for today. JP seares he's getting

1064
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 2: a spot start versus the Rockies, but I don't know

1065
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 2: if that's in play.

1066
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: He's taking a life in your own hands with JP

1067
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: point there's no one good out there. Yeah, I love

1068
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: the questions that are reasonable. Today we seem insane a

1069
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: few months ago. It's the best, the best thing, right,

1070
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: am I dropping Spencer Strider for Tyler Wells. Absolutely, you're

1071
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,120
