Brethren, it is mister Scott Bagman. Hello, mister 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:42.800 Scott Bagman. 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.879 What is going on? I'm ready to talk some baseball. Obviously, 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.160 was out of town for the first couple of days here. 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:51.960 Where were you? Where were you? Out of town? 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:53.600 I was in Arizona. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.360 I was in your neck of the woods watching the 0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:00.160 Diamondbacks win opening Day and then lose three straight in 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:04.600 embarrassing fashion. So it was a fun trip, but glad 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.440 to be home and glad to be talking baseball with 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:07.839 you here on Leading Off. 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.840 And it was Bogman and myself together. We were actually 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.560 at the Seth Beer infamous game, and I did do 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.160 the Friday game unfortunately, where the Diamondbacks were the first team. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.880 I believe ever to be no hit through six innings 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.600 in two straight games, which is a pretty awesome accomplishment 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:25.720 that our team got to. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.800 See already setting records this year. So it's gonna be 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:31.000 a fun year for sure. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.080 It will be well, it'll be a fun romp here 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.880 over on the Fantas Pros leading off, No Joey today, 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.160 and everybody I know, the Peanuts and Crackerjacks are very disappointed. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.399 They've got to be right. I don't know, but I 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.319 do see some itl takeover a little bit, yeah, League, 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.680 but yes, go cards. There is no Joe today. It 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.080 is just us where we're going to talk about all 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.240 the stuff that happened over the weekend. We're going to 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.160 go through some props. We have got dfs, We've got 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.240 some prop betting. It's really weird, kind of interesting time. 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.720 I was on Bogman before we started the show, because 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.400 we are stepping into like the back end of rotations 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.680 on the first run through the season, so like where 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.080 do you find your bets? But we've got awesome tools 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.040 here at Fantasy Pros and then of course the home 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.919 run leader board, which I want to say but maybe 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.440 one person on this show did get their homer this weekend. 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.079 I gotta tell you, I don't remember who Joe had 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.560 if the Peanuts and Cracker Deacs, remember who Joe even 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.639 took over the weekend. He took one guy for the 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.480 whole weekend, So did im a. 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.040 Lot if I remember, correct, I. 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.240 Just don't remember. I just don't remember who he had. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.919 I just specifically remember who I had, and it absolutely hit. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.239 But let's get into all this stuff. Oh, how about 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.160 the first headline? The chat is literally you know what? 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.280 Hold on? Where was it? I just saw right here? 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.520 Zach Welsh will have to wait to rub in the 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.840 Buckston Homers to Joe. Uh No, I actually won't because 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.399 I will start right now. The headline we have here, 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.640 Is it too early for a Byron bucks and victory 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.520 lab Bogman? Let me answer, no, it's not two Homers 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.320 on Sunday three, the first three games. Here's the question 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.359 to you, Boggs. Is it too early for me to 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.560 victory lap over everybody? 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.760 Of course it is because we are four games in, 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.320 you know, so let's relax. But hey, I'll say this, 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.080 Buckson is amazing. Buckson is an amazing player. He's so good. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.400 He's first level round talent in a fantasy draft, but 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.960 he won't stay on the field. But for now, while 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.720 he's on the field, enjoy it, take pleasure in it. 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.400 He is awesome. He is starting the year off super 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.800 super white hot, So you know I am. 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.760 I'm here for it. I'm here to watch him go crazy. 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.560 But also when he goes down for an extended period 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.040 of time, I'll be here for that too. 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.040 So you are incorrect in your answer simply because of 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.760 what Wonky Penguin said right here, we have to take 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.080 the victory lap while he's still out there. I agree. 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.280 It sounds like that would make me exactly right in 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:53.080 what I just said. 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.280 Okay, but I'm just well, you mean not. 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.600 The mean way of saying what I just said right there, 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:58.240 that's the mean way. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.600 Well it's a correct but you said, no, it's it 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.520 is too early, and it is not too early. Byron 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.040 Buxton looks as locked in as he's ever looked before, 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.760 and he's crushing the ball, and you know what, kind 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.640 of like him today too. Maybe we'll talk about him 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.839 a little bit later. So no, I don't believe it's 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.520 too early there. I would say that there's always an 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.960 argument for any of these type of guys. You could 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.120 make the argument that it's a sell opportunity because he 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.479 was a fourth round drafted talent. I've always I've said 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.599 since day one, he is a first round talent. So 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.880 if you can, you know, trade for peak value and 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.440 you're a little bit concerned, do it. You know, this 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.040 is a fantastic time. Will he kind of keep going? Yeah, sure, 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.560 I think he'll keep going. The injury risk is always looming. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.120 If you can't stomach him getting hurt, then it's a 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.120 great time to go and look out there and see 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:48.760 if people are willing to see if there's nuts like 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.679 me that are willing to buy on him. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.120 Even if you don't want to trade him right, especially 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:57.160 because he's playing so well. At least dangle and see 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.480 what kind of crazy offer you're gonna get, because no, 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.440 people are are already impatient, already getting you know, dms 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.560 and messages about some players that I like that have 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.440 not taken off quite yet. So you know people are impatient. 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:10.600 So see what you can get. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.000 At least, and if I play in the league with you, 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.440 send me an offer. Send me an offer on Buckston. 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.080 That's the only disappointment is I don't have bucks in 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.640 any of my like dynasty leagues, which is but I mean, 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.599 I got like the lads and the Acunas and stuff, 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.800 but can take myself getting to Buckston. Here's another one. 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:32.080 Carlos Redon in his Giants debut struck out twelve looking phuhhenomenal, dude. 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.839 I mean, I am this is concerning because I have 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.080 I am a zero shares. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.800 Oh without concerning. 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.240 And I think I was also probably low man in 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.800 his h you know, pre draft ranking on Fantasy pros. 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:47.760 I just don't think he's gonna last. 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.160 This is he is the picture Buxton to me, even 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:54.240 worse historically than Buckston in terms of him being hurt. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.560 So the twelve strikeouts were awesome. 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.880 When he's going, he's phenomenal a lot like Buxton, especially 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.000 since last season. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.480 But he does scare me like this is another guy. 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.080 If he puts together two, three, four good starts, I'm 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.200 starting to look to ship him because he just never 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:12.720 seemed to be able to make it to the end 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.960 of the season. He didn't do it last year either, 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.560 but I mean no zero acclamation time for college for 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.240 Dawn just In and he's good to go, which was 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.160 surprising and nice to see. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.479 I mean team context is like, this is something we 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.160 talked about in the preseason. This is like a great 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:29.960 place for him to be. I wanted him to be 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.039 with the Giants, but it's a very different situation in 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.720 my mind of injury prone pitchers versus injury prone players, 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.119 and it feels like it's just a matter of time 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.839 with the injury prone pitchers. So yeah, I would be 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:44.880 I don't know if this is the game, to be 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.560 honest with you, like it was one good game, but 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.760 I'm not sure people are willing to pay like high prices. 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.040 You know, something that you could always do in some leagues, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.920 Not saying that this would work, but the Brewers' pitchers 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.080 did not look great, by the way, all three of 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.920 them looked pretty horrid. Well, at least Burns and wood 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.720 Woodrow specific would pretty horrigle. 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.640 The Zra is like seventeen right now. 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.280 You could always, you know, you get impatients in leagues 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.360 and stuff. You could put a Carlos for Dawn after 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.200 a twelve strikeout performance, and you could probably put an 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.640 off route for all three of any of the three 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.640 of those pictures, and maybe you can get something done. 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.720 Not saying it will happen, but you could consider it 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.560 no a Cinagard justin Verlander face off battle of the 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.200 return injured pitchers. Cinnergard went five and two thirds, he 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.120 gave up two hits, two walks, only had one I'm sorry. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.080 Sinnegard five and two thirds, two hits, two walks, only 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.800 one strikeout, where Verlander went five one and run seven 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.800 k's with three walks and Bog's. Verlander was piece of 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.440 Pia's like dark horse or really pretty outspoken cy young 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.600 potential winner of the year. Any takeaways from Verlander and 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.559 Cinnegard going on, I mean, at least I would say 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.840 my biggest takeaway I throw out to you is they 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.840 both went five yes, which was like the biggest win 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.400 regardless of any of the other stats. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.200 That's the absolute biggest thing is they both look healthy 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.240 and ready to rock. And I think the biggest news 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.040 wasn't even in the game. It was the Angels saying 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.520 that Noah Kinderguard will have no innings limit at all 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.560 this season, So already starting out going over five for 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.760 a guy that was hurt most of the year last 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.160 year is just a great It's fantastic news. And Verlander 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.960 just looks like he's right back to the Verlander inspect 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:28.840 there's no blip, there's no you know, recovery time or whatever. 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.520 It looks like he's all ready to rock. So that 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.280 is a great, great news and glad to see those 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.400 guys look at least sharp going deep into games. C 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.720 Indergard wasn't quite there with strikeouts, but I expect that 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.000 to ramp back up pretty quick. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:41.200 Here. 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.000 I'm very encouraged by Verlander that, you know, the play 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.520 was to draft him kind of earlier in drafts, when 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.640 it came closer to the start of the draft season, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.439 you were paying a little bit of a higher cost. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.960 I wonder if you can still get in on it's 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.480 not really a sub basement floor type of price, but 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.400 you know, like that median price, you know, like outside 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.280 the top seventy five or right at seventy five. That 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.480 would be something I'm interested in, because once he strings 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.400 a couple more of these along, it's it's not gonna 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.160 be cost efficient anymore. If you're I'm a believer in Verlander, 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.000 I mean, he's built to go full season long, regardless 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.600 of coming off the injury. I think this is very encouraging. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.960 And then the last one on a big headlines. Hunter 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.760 Green debuted, oh just throwing like a casual twenty one 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.200 hundred plus mile per hour pitches in his debut Bogs. 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.440 I mean something like that. To me, it just it 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.000 just says to me, all right, well let's get five 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.720 better guys in the rotation so this guy can be 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.640 on the back end, right. Which is that crazy? That 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.600 that's that's Chapman level. That was what Chapman looked like 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.480 when he came in and started firing, because remember he 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.120 initially came up as a starter, but obviously he has 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.280 moved to that relief role with the Reds. By the way, yeah, 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.720 with the Reds. Absolutely. I remember seeing him hit one 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.120 hundred and four on the gun two field so. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:53.720 And I was like, I thought that was only for 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:54.480 MLB the show. 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.280 I know, I don't think that was fake. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:57.840 I was like, I saw it him like, well, I 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.000 mean that gun's choose, but he's probably hitting one hundred 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.960 and then you know it wasn't. He's just touching one 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.520 hundred and four. So uh yeah, man, Hunter Green looks amazing. 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.520 But you're you're the prospect guy. What do you see 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:11.600 out of this first start here? 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.280 Yeah? I mean the problem I still have at the 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.440 end of the day. Is how the fastball straightens out. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.600 And it's actually very reminiscent of a role. This I 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.600 could still see. I hate to say, I could still 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.000 see a long term thing where he would go to 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.480 a bullpen, But the Reds are in this kind of 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.680 rebuild mode that it would make no sense. There's no reason, 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.160 there's no reason they should push as hard as they 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.880 can for as long as they can to continue him 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.720 in the rotation, which I think he will. I personally 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.800 like Lidolo a little bit more. And Lodolo, I believe, 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:47.600 is debuting tomorrow on Tuesday, which are today It's money 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.920 or Tuesday. I don't remember which one it is. You know, 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.120 cross my fingers that I say. I like Lodola. He 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.400 doesn't get lit for eight or something like that. But 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.400 I think Lodolo is it's just a better pitcher. But 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.760 Green has got nominal stuff. And he was pumping off 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.640 twenty one hundred mile an hours, which is ridiculous. Speaking 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.440 of some mphs. Here is a fun fact and this 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.720 came from code of five one hundred and seventeen point 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.800 nine miles per hour off the bat and it went 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.000 four to sixty seven. This is their actual tweet. Vladimir 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:24.160 Guerrero Junior has never hit a home run harder or 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:28.120 farther during his MLB career than what he hit on 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:33.880 Sunday one, seventeen point nine going four sixty seven. Bugs 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:35.280 our boy, Vladdie Junior. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.480 How about some of those scores from yesterday's game, you know, 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:43.440 looking like SEC scores yesterday. But yeah, lad with an 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.760 absolute moonshot, you know, I mean, the dude, the dude's 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:48.640 gonna hit one, like. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.079 Well over five hundred at some point here. I would 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.680 you know what I want. I want to see Hunter 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.120 Green versus Flat. 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.680 That is what I want to see, to see how 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.079 far that ball would go. It would look like I 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.120 can remember when I mean the farthest home or anyone 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.040 in the world has ever seen hit because the roof 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:07.720 was closed, so we have no idea how far would 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.520 actually go. But the pool hoolesoft lidge, That's what I 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:11.000 want to see. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.520 Oh yeah, yeah. 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.000 And just an absolute moonshot and that was one of 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.480 them yesterday. And it's just you know, we're four days 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.600 into the year and Flat hits his longest career homer ever. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.040 Gonna be a fun, fun season. To watch flat gonna 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.040 see a lot of him. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.240 Oh and you know who had him this weekend in 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:32.240 the home run contest? Me? That was my guy, That 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:32.920 was my homer. 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.080 That was actually came back from vacation. We're gonna start, 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:37.840 We're gonna start getting a new lead in here. 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.040 So I just well, I don't have a lead. Actually 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.079 we'll talk about that, but technically, I just want to 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.880 point out as soon as I pick him, he hits 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.960 it harder and farther than he's ever done. Ever. I 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.360 just want to point is there a correlation? 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:53.560 I mean, anyone has anyone ever tried to take you know, 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.320 Vlad's accomplishments and make them their own more than the 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:56.920 Welsh has. 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:57.480 I don't know. 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.960 Maybe we buddies, maybe hanger ons. You're a hanger on 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.720 and you never even like hung out with the guy 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:05.120 at nine. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:06.800 I mean, I just want to say it might be 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.079 the duties of this host chance say they never. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.040 Met him, but you know I probably have met him, right. 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.400 I have a couple of times. Yeah, exactly. Here's some 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.559 stats here. I didn't stay at my house, but I 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.720 mean I would have led him if you need. Here's 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.920 some stat heroes from the weekend. We were at this game. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.440 Sean and Iah went seven, no hit, walked one, seven strikeouts. 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.520 I was audibly upset that Melviowne did it again, that 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.320 he took another guy out for a no hitter. I 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:33.760 just wanted to see it at that point. That was 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:38.080 against our Diamondbacks, and as I mentioned before, second consecutive 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.440 Padre starter to be removed on an active no hitter 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.640 and the first time a team has been no hit 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.760 through the first six innings and two straight games. What anoplish, 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:51.520 awesome accomplishment. Verdonna, we talked about five with twelve ks, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.120 Kyle Gibson seven innings, only gave up two hits with 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:59.080 ten strikeouts. Chris Bassett Gibbson, I know. Chris Bassett six 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.600 with eight k's and three hits for the Mets. Dylan 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.360 Cees eight five innings with eight k's, but he had 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.520 three walks to give up one und run. Joe Muskrove 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.920 against the Diamondbacks. That's gonna be a big play for 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.080 you this Year's just go up against the Diamondbacks. He 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.400 went six two and runs, five hits, eight strikeouts. Robbie 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.200 Ray had five strikeouts in a win over the twins 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.120 where he went seven and Max schers are six innings 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.200 six K's three earned runs with a walk with a 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.680 win over the Nationals. So of those pitchers, Bogman, what 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.160 jumped out to you? But obviously besides we Donk's already 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:29.840 talked about him. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.480 Right well, JN we already talked about But just how 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.840 unimpressive I expect Sean Mania and Joe Musgrove to look 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.360 in their next matchup. That's not against the Diamondbacks, because 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.560 the Diamondbacks lineup is miserable right now. But like you said, 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.560 that's gonna be something you can take advantage in DFS 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.560 a season long years, all year long, you know, as 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.640 long as the Dinebacks look as bad as they do. 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.800 But I think the one one of these things is 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.800 not like the other. Here wels right and Kyle Gibson 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:57.800 is the one that is not like the rest of 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.320 these guys. You know, if it's all do you Sean 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.320 and I had seven no hit innings at some point 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.880 in the year and got yanked, you would not be surprised. 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.360 I don't think any of these other guys are really shocking. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.840 Sures is great, Musgrove has been great, Sees is an 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.960 awesome strikeout guy. We expected Bassett to get better with 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.680 his strikeouts in New York, but Kyle Gibson rolling out 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.080 there and spending ten strikeouts on his first start makes 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.280 me kind of go, we need to be spending some 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.720 money or attention or we need to be spending something 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.360 on Kyle Gibson here. So he is the absolute one 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:29.360 that stands out to me here. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.000 Yeah, there's big, like a ton of strikeout guys in 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.600 this margin. I agree with you. Gibson wasn't quite on 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.320 that list, and he was kind of a back end 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.120 drafted player for some Some might be able to treat 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.280 him as like a streaming option. So that's a good 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.120 Here's a good question by wonkey B. Yeah. 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:45.360 I just saw that who is the. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.560 Best team to stream against dbachs, Pirates or Orioles. And 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.320 I think that is really tough because I would chalk 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.040 it down to the Diamondbacks or Pirates. I would say 0:15:54.480 --> 0:16:00.240 pitching streaming, and that's obviously the question. I really like 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.280 it against the Diamondbacks, but I think if you're going 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:06.960 like full slate of hitters and pitchers, it's probably the Pirates. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.320 But strictly a picture against team I think the Diamondbacks 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.520 right now especially, and that might change, like pirates now, 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.360 but like Rojas isn't healthy and they don't have any 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.480 rhythm they I mean, they've looked as worse as they've 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.600 ever looked since I've seen them, So I would go 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.680 that way. But if you're looking for a whole collection, 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:24.080 I would say the Pirates. 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.160 It's such a good question. But it correlates to what 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.640 do you like better? You like food, oxygen, or water? Right, Like, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.720 you've got to have all of them, right, so you 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.000 got it, you mix. You got to mix those three 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:38.160 to survive. So those are definitely your basic ingredients of 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:38.880 setting everything. 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.640 The Orioles are like the food because like we could 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.600 go without them for a little bit. The Diamondbacks are 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.680 the water, and then the Pirates are probably the oxygen. 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.680 So about two minutes for the Pirates, about a day 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.120 for the Diamondbacks, in about a week for the orioles. 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.240 So oxygen, water, food, that's a great correlation there. Bugs 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.960 looking over it's stat hero hitters. How about mister steven 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:07.040 one who is batting eight hundred with a one eight 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.480 five seven ops. He has bett four sixty nine with 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.119 an over thousand ops. In spring training he had a 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.679 five for five day. Let's just stop there for a 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.520 second and say, how interested are you and Stephen Kuwan? 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.440 You know I am and TGFBI. I actually drafted him 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:23.840 so I didn't have to play the waiver things. 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.520 He took him in our AL only two, didn't you. 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.520 I also took him in AL so I've got some 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.639 shares of Stephen Quan. But look, yeah, let me get 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.760 your take on where you are at with Stephen Kuan. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.879 Well, look, I you know, I think it's just as 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.119 too early to panic about the guys that are hitting 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.840 this well than the guys that aren't. But look, when 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.200 you're having success, who cares what part of the year 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.040 it is? Right Like, I get adding him in your 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.960 DFS lineups because he's still cheap. I get adding him 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.919 in deeper leagues as well, because he's hitting well and 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:54.639 he's in one of those lineups where it's not like 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.280 it's not like he's an injury replacement and someone's gonna 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.000 come back and take a shop at some point. Right, 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.760 the guy has an opportunity in Cleveland, So I mean 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.560 I'm in. I'm in on buying it on Stephen Kuan 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.480 and saying, because you know it's gonna be relatively cheap, 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.880 and if he doesn't work out leon and he goes 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.879 over twelve in his next twelve at bats, you just 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.080 cut him and be done with him. So I'm absolutely 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.640 all in on, you know, getting invested in Stephen Kwan 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:21.280 a little bit here. 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.480 I don't think it's a I don't think it's a 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.080 decision between like being in to pick up. He was 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.800 probably the biggest waiver pickup as our boy Pickles in 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.920 there just pointed out that he didn't strike out in 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.119 spring training. I mean, this is his mo though. The 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.960 problem is, and I've likened him to Louis a Rise 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.520
