And now I'm thinking 21 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: about it. We got today, we got Friday, and then 22 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: we got next Wednesday, and I think that'll be Curtin 23 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: for us. We got three more shows, and I think. 24 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 2: We get kicked to the side for Friday. I think, 25 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: so yeah, pretty much done. 26 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm not sure if I'll be invited for 27 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: the Joey p and Well show. I still haven't had 28 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: those conversations yet, but we'll see either way. We got 29 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: five more shows starting today, Bubba and myself for at 30 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: least three of them, and I wanted to mix things 31 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: up a little bit and just talk about a couple 32 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: of pickup some pitching streamers the next couple of days. 33 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: Somebody commented on the video on the previous one, like, 34 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: we don't need to talk about headlines this time of year, 35 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: And at first I was like, Eh, but you're kind 36 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: of right, honestly, you know, going through like how good 37 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: of a season Julio Rodriguez had or whatever, it's not 38 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: really helping you right now. So let's talk about some pickups. 39 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: So we're going to go through some of the most 40 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: added players today and just talk about their viability if 41 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: you think they're worthy of a pickup. These are just 42 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,639 Speaker 1: looking at Yahoo and the players that are getting added 43 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: a lot today, and the number one ad for position 44 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: players is Mickey Moniac Bubba. He's been really solid. We 45 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: talked about him the other day with Ryan. He had 46 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: a double combo meal, two homers and two steals. Do 47 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: you like his viability here over the final week and 48 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: a half of the season. He has flourished in Colorado 49 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: this year. Would you be trusting him for the final 50 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: ten games or so? 51 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: I'd be trusting him for the rest of this week. 52 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: I'll say that much because he does get the Coors experience. 53 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: He at home running on Tuesday night, which is always 54 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: a plus with that ballpark setup, and the matchups are 55 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: great this week. I looking at the pitching planner that 56 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: we have, he's got one of the best team setups, 57 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: especially this weekend he gets He gets Kyle Hendricks and 58 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: Caden Dana over the weekend as the two ridis in 59 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: the three matchups there, so you'll love to see that. 60 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: And if you even take a peek ahead at next 61 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: week's schedule, it's all on the road, but it's five 62 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: more ritis and it's a friendly weekn setup against the Giants, 63 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: so it's a good run. I'd prefer him this week 64 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: and Coors maybe make adjustments next week, but definitely a 65 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: guy that you could if you had to hang on 66 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: to him next week, wouldn't be the worst thing. 67 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been pretty impressed by him this year with moniac. 68 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: Is this something that you will buy into again next year? 69 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: He should be back in Colorado. He's giving you a 70 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: twenty and ten type of season. Is this something that 71 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: you'll invest in as a starting outfielder in twenty twenty six? 72 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: I'd be interested. I don't know if a starting outfielder. 73 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: I had it in a lot of DC's draft and 74 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: holds formats just for this reason, like play himing coops, 75 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 2: set him on the road. Life is good in that scenario. 76 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 2: Make sure he's got a bunch of righties to face, 77 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: so on and so forth, because he is very dependent 78 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: on That is the only downside. But coming into the season, 79 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: the same thing I said as as a former number 80 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: one overall draft pick for the Philadelphia Phillies, I believe 81 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: so the skills are there, just never really came to fruition. 82 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: And he's definitely a guy that if you don't draft 83 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 2: him next year, you will stream him throughout the season. 84 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, even if you're just in a more 85 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: shallow format, a standard twelve team league, you're picking him 86 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: up for a core series or a cores week that 87 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: can be magic, as we've seen this year. I believe 88 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: he was traded for Logan o'habi. I think that's what 89 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: you are correct. You are correct. I believe that's what 90 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: it was. Joe in the chat saying he actually faces 91 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: a lefty today. So only three starts out of his 92 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: next five games, but all at Coors. So I think, 93 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: depending on your options, Mickey Moniac is probably somebody that 94 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: still is worth starting. And like he says here as well, 95 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: gets five rities next week on the road, so he 96 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: kind of got away the pros and cons there on 97 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: the road, but also facing right handers. Let's talk a 98 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: little south Stewart. He has played twelve games, He's ad 99 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: four home runs, he's scored eight times, he's hitting two 100 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: seventy five, He's not striking out a lot. South Stewart 101 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: seems like a fairly legit asset here for the next 102 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Now, Cincinnati is going to be back 103 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: at home starting tomorrow, and they'll be at home for 104 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: about a week and then they'll go back on the 105 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: road to Milwaukee. But is South Stewart somebody that you 106 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: would be interested in picking up Bubbah just for the 107 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: next week while they're at home in Cincinnati. 108 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. The power profile is legit. Guy didn't 109 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: show a ton of swinging miss at the minor league level, 110 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: which was great. Playing time was my concern because he 111 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: was like playing like seventy percent of the time, which 112 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: is still good, but if you're looking for maximizing that 113 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 2: bat's not great. But right now, with Spencer Steeers neck 114 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: injury and other situations, he's kind of south. Stewart's forced 115 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 2: his way into the lineup now, making it five straight starts, 116 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 2: which is a plus. The power profile with going back 117 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: to Great American, Yeah, this is a guy you definitely 118 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: want to have on your roster to finish off the season. 119 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. I've been very impressed. Eighteen percent barrel rate, forty 120 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: seven percent hard hit rate, the winging strike rate is 121 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: only ten percent. He's making good contact chases a little 122 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: bit too much, but considering this is his first cup 123 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: of coffee, I've been pretty impressed with what we've seen 124 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: so far. Oh Man twelve team had to head points. 125 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: Someone dropped story. Should I drop Ellie Della Cruz for him? 126 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: Yes, Like Ellie's head to head league. 127 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Yes, you're fine with that? 128 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, like I said it for a couple 129 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: of months now. We talked about once on Bloomoard, then 130 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: we talked about him here a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, 131 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 2: Ellie's second half is dramatically horrible, is the nicest way 132 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: I could put it. And if you have him been 133 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: ahead of your head, you're you're lucky to be in 134 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: the semifinals right now. He has one home run, like 135 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: over the last two months. He's not still in vases. 136 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: He's drowning your team. So what kudos to you for 137 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: whatever else you drafted, because Ellie should have been your 138 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: top pick and he's crushing you right now. 139 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 3: So the fact you're there. 140 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: Great, drop him pick up story who's absolutely on fire 141 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: this season. 142 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: Yeah. Honestly, the more I think about it. At first, 143 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: when I saw it, I was like, come on, But honestly, 144 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't have a problem with it 145 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: as crazy. It's like the Tyler Well Spencer Schrider thing 146 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: from a couple of weeks ago. It's like, yeah, Okay, 147 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: at this time of year, you'll do some things that 148 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: maybe feel crazy, but they aren't really that crazy. My 149 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: premium Twitch renewed, and I don't use it for anything but 150 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: this show. There's a ton of Fantasy pros content on 151 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: the football side, and we will be back doing baseball 152 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: content throughout the offseason then heading into twenty twenty six, Favy, 153 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: So appreciate the subscription. Really really do appreciate all the 154 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: help you guys have given us in our first year 155 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: on Twitch. You guys have made it possible for us 156 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: to do that, So I really do appreciate the help there. 157 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: Let's talk about another guy who's been rather hot, and 158 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: he's also among the top pickups of the day, and 159 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: that's Caleb Durban. Put together a fairly solid season as 160 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: a whole. Here eleven homer, sixteen steals, he's hitting two 161 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: sixty four. Is he a viable ad for the next 162 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: week or so, Bob? But Milwaukee right now facing the 163 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: Angels and then they'll be at Saint Louis over the weekend, I. 164 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: Think, so I guess we'll get Let me preface, If 165 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: you need batti and average, you need stolen bases. Yes, 166 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: that's the wheelhouse looking for. There's not a lot of 167 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: power here, but if he gets on, he's stealing he's 168 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: scoring runs. He's actually driving him more than I thought recently, 169 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: So yes to your question. Great set of matchups. He 170 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: gets to finish off for s Angels like you said 171 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: in Saint Louis, like come on, he gets Miles Michelis 172 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: on Saturday, and then Lebrator, who, yes, pitched well, but 173 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: still there are avenues of success there. Next week's a 174 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: tough schedule, but we can approach that when you get there. 175 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: For the rest of this week, Durbin is definitely in play. 176 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: I like durban another guy I like. I feel like 177 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: I've been butchering his name, and I did it on 178 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: the show with Ryan the other day. Dalen Lyle, I 179 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: think it's pronounced lyle Man. Has he been good? Man? 180 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: Has he ever been good? It's eighty two games as 181 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: a whole this year. He's hitting two ninety one, six 182 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: homers and eight steals with just a fifteen percent strikeout right, 183 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: But he's really picked things up as of late, and 184 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: I feel like we are at the point of the 185 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: year where this is the type of guy where I 186 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: don't really care how much you believe in the long 187 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: term prospects. He's hitting today and that's all that really matters. 188 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: I'd be picking him up wherever you can. Personally, what 189 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: do you think about daylan Lyle Bubba. 190 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: Yep, I've been pounding the drum for about three or 191 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: four weeks now. I've had many shares of him. I 192 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: was actually shocked to see he was still available in 193 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: like fifty five nfbcocs this week. It's just baffling when 194 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: people just check out for the season. I think I 195 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: even wrote him up for the Fantasy pros Fab article 196 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: this past Friday because he's so low owned in fantasy 197 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: on Yahoo streets. But yes, pick up Daylyle. He's getting 198 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: clean up, he's inting for power, speed, he's doing at all, 199 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: so yes, please do that. 200 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. When I look at him, I don't know that 201 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I'm going to buy in next year, 202 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Like he doesn't barrel the ball up 203 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: a ton, four and a half percent barrel rate, forty 204 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: percent hard hit rate. But the play discipline metrics are 205 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: really really encouraging, makes a lot of contact in the zone, 206 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't swing and miss a lot, he doesn't chase 207 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: a lot. So I definitely am interested for the time being. 208 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: These guys are hot right. I dropped Saya Suzuki the 209 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: other day for Harrison Vader in a very shallow home league, 210 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: and at first I was like, this feels wrong. You know, 211 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 1: Isuzuki's been so good all year, but you're playing the 212 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: hot hands. You really are playing the hot hands right 213 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: now in Lyle is maybe the hottest among them that 214 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna find on a lot of waiver wires. One 215 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: more position player I wanted to mention, and that's Cody Clemens, 216 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: the son of the Rocket of Roger Clemens, who's been 217 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: pretty solid as a utility guy for Minnesota this year. 218 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: Nineteen home runs, three stolen bases. He's not hitting for 219 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: of it, particularly high batting average, but he's eligible all 220 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: over the place and he's been pretty good as of late, Bubba, So, 221 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: any interest in picking up Cody Clemens here if you 222 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: just need kind of a utility bat for the weekend. 223 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 2: If you need a utility bat, if you don't need 224 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 2: batting average like you mentioned, Sure, yes, and he's got 225 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 2: Alrighty's on. Well, he's got six rities next week, which 226 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 2: is huge. Flipping back to this week's schedule, he gets 227 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: a couple lefties to Saturday and Sunday. He might not 228 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 2: play both of those, so that'd be the only concern 229 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: because he pretty much sits first lefties. But yes, viable 230 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 2: all over the diamond. He's streaky and he's streaking well 231 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: right now, so if you need something like that, then 232 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: he's not a bad play. 233 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: I just want to remind you Gains before we keep going, 234 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: that we are giving away the Billy Wagners Sign baseball 235 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: courtesy of our friends over at Pristine Auction dot com. 236 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: All you have to do to enter is subscribe to 237 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: the Fantasy Pro MLB YouTube channel right now, drop a 238 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: comment below on any video, and that's it.

Let's take a couple of questions here from 245 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: Joe need to drop one Beata or Viento's I can't 246 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: drop Beta right now? Leading off for that hot Phillies lineup. 247 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: Ventos has been impressive in the second half and he's 248 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: turned his year round, but I think Viento's has to 249 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: be the drop here. 250 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: Still, Bubba agreed, as Beater's leading off nuclear hot like 251 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 2: Vento's is good, still sits from time to time. Baiter 252 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: is the dude. I'd hope you'd have other options to drop. 253 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing, right. I think if you're talking 254 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: about you know, twelve, I mean twelve team league. If 255 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: that's your worst option, you're doing pretty well, Joe. 256 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 2: I think it's take exactly, So I hope there's other options. 257 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: Otherwise you're fine. 258 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: You're looking pretty if that's your worst option. A question 259 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: about James Wood, what's up with James Wood? Fatigue? Just 260 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: going through the motions with the Nats in the second half. 261 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with James Wood. I 262 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: think part of it is just adjusting to the big leagues, right, 263 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: Like he had a monster's first half. He was really 264 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: good at last season. But in the second half this year, 265 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: fifty three games, it's three homers, it's three steals, he's 266 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,599 Speaker 1: hitting two to fourteen. The league adjusted to him and 267 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: he has to kind of adjust back. Is the simplest 268 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: way I think you can put it. The sophomore slump 269 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: et cetera. I think he's gonna be fine at the 270 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: end of the day. But he's essentially now, you know, 271 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: right where he was in draft season in terms of 272 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: total value, He's like around the sixtieth player overall. It's 273 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: kind of where he was getting drafted. So he's essentially 274 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: broken even. But what are your thoughts on James Wood, Bubba, 275 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: Is this is going to make you kind of nervous 276 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: to draft him next year with a second or third 277 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: round pick, or will you be all in? 278 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: I'll still be back in on James Wood. The profile 279 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 2: of the skills are deniabile. He's super young. I agree 280 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: with a lot of what you said. I also think 281 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: or I wouldn't be surprised if we find out he's 282 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: been battling some injury for like the second half of 283 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 2: the season. It just seems so odd to drop off 284 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: that much. Yeah, there are the adjustments to your point, 285 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: and there's a lot to be said about those that 286 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: does happen. It's just it's a dramatic drop, which is 287 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: pretty interesting. So I'm still interested for next year. To 288 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 2: your original question, and it sucks, Yeah, he's not Eli 289 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: Dela the cruising your team, But it's pretty close. 290 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's just been like pretty terrible. Honestly, Like, 291 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: if James Would or PCA, you think which one would 292 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: you have more confidence in for next season? 293 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: Still James Wood. 294 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: He has a better I guess skills profile when it 295 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: comes to quality of contact. So I'd go with a 296 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: plate discipline I saw I'd go with James would in 297 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: that one. 298 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: I think I would too. I think I would too. 299 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: PCA starting to get hot again right in time for 300 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: people to buy in. But it's close. I think I 301 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: think they'll be pretty close in terms of like their 302 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: ADP where they get drafted in a lot of rooms. 303 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: But that'll be a fun one to follow over the 304 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: final kind of find a couple of weeks here if 305 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: I can find my words, and then into the off season. Hey, guys, 306 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: second to last week in my draft and hold barely 307 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: hanging on to the number one spot going into fun week. 308 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: I asked last week, still see song between Lewis for 309 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: at Cleveland and Torque three Home atl from my CI 310 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: this weekend. It's got to be Royce Lewis for me. 311 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: With the way he's been playing the extra game, I 312 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: think it's got to be Lewis. 313 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 2: There got to be Lewis the extra Game's got those 314 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: two lefties over the weekend, and if you're not drafting Hold, 315 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: it is all about maximizing that bats. 316 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,239 Speaker 3: So yeah, take on your Royce Lewis this weekend. 317 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: What do you think about Royce Lewis, Bob, with what 318 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: we've seen this year between the injuries and not only 319 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: just the injuries now, but kind of the subpar season. 320 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: I know he's turned things around recently, but it's an 321 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: eighty five WRC plus twelve hovers. What do you think 322 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: the long term outlook is for Royce Lewis Because people 323 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: were expecting him to be a superstar even just a 324 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: year ago. What are your expectations going forward as of now? 325 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: I still love the profile, like a humongous fan of 326 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: Royce Lewis. I think we're at the point that is 327 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: he injury prone? Is a legit question with Royce Lewis. 328 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 2: That's an annoying question. But at the same time, does 329 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: that mean his ADP drop down? Like does he get 330 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: the g and cardial treatment, Like now we're drafting them 331 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: in the eighth or ninth round. And if that is 332 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: the case at a third base position, that's sketch interesting 333 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 2: because it's one of those deals. If he even plays 334 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and one hundred and fifteen games, he probably 335 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: pays off that draft price. So I like Royce Lewis, 336 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: it's it's all about injury management, mitigation, whatever you want 337 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 2: to call it. That's the hardest part. 338 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: He's the younger version of Corey Seeger. I think you 339 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: were trending that way. You get one hundred and twenty games, 340 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: you're good. But if not, then it's tough, right. 341 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 3: It's fair, it's good, good comp unfortunately. 342 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: Was the first one off the top of my head, 343 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: and also kind of like Mike Trout or Buxton. But 344 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: I feel like he's Corey Seeger right now. 345 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 3: Yep, that's fair. 346 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: It's like a couple of starting pitching streamers. If you're 347 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: listening on the podcast feed, it'll be a little bit trickier. 348 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: This is more for the live crowd. But I just 349 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: want to talk about who people are picking up for 350 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: Wednesday and who are people picking up for Thursday. So 351 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: the first option in terms of the widely available name, 352 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: still he probably shouldn't be widely available. But Tyler wells 353 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: against the White Sox. But but He's looked very good, 354 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: but the White Sox also have been hitting the ball 355 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: a lot better as of late. Kyle Teal has been, 356 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, tugging at the hard strings for me for 357 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: a while. Would you be willing to start Tyler Wells here. 358 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: Let's say it's a finals matchup. Would you risk that 359 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,359 Speaker 1: with Tyler Wells? 360 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all in on Tyler Wells. He was one 361 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: of my top strings for the week. If you're doing 362 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: weekly leagues, I think he and I agree with the 363 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: White Sox. I've been like pumping them up for a 364 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 2: while now, Like you know, you got your Teal, your Vargas, 365 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 2: your Clinton. So says your Montgomery. He's like, this is 366 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: a young core that could be pretty fun to watch 367 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 2: for a while. And they're swinging it well, but they 368 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: still swinging miss a lot. And that's what Tyler Wells 369 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 2: can do really good for the ratios. In his first 370 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: two outings to the walks are low, the strikeouts are high. 371 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: Probably goes five innings, hopefully six. That's the kicker. Does 372 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 2: he go deep enough? But we saw what Kyle Bradish 373 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: did on Monday, absolutely crushed him and get nine gays 374 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 2: or something against the White Sox I have a lot 375 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 2: of similarities doing Wells and Bradish. I think Wells is 376 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: one of the better streams this week. It's baseball. Anything 377 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: can happen, but on paper we rock and roll. 378 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: Any can happen. Michael Walker, Mike you up seven runs 379 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: for you and you just can't do it anything about it. 380 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes those ones just really do bite you in the rear. 381 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: Brady Singer is the next guy wanted to bring up 382 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: because he's facing Saint Louis. Brady Singer quietly has been 383 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: very good in the second half, one or two stinkers, 384 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: but overall a very good line. And he gets to 385 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: face Saint Louis, who is a bismal If you look 386 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: over the last three weeks, roughly three weeks, Saint Louis 387 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: is arguably the worst offense in baseball outside of the Rockies. 388 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: So I'm willing to stream Brady Singer here where he's 389 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: still available in those shall shallow formats. 390 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: But but what about you, Yes, Brady Singer, locked and loaded. 391 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: Dude's been an absolute beast on the mount and honestly 392 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: doesn't feel like he gets the love he deserves. If 393 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: we're just talking, just like recent performances. To your point, 394 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: he's been great. Over his last six starts. He's allowed 395 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: three hundreds of less and every six quality starts in 396 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 2: a row, six in a row, he's got six innings. 397 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: Every single time he gets a two ERA like a 398 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: three four Sierra, which is fine, but more impressively with 399 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 2: Brady Singer, a guy that everybody used to say all 400 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: he pitches the contact, he's. 401 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: A groundball guy. 402 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: Thirty six strikeouts to nine walks in those thirty six innings, 403 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 2: Joe for almost twenty percent katea walk, which is great. Now, 404 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 2: there could be a regression coming. Babbit's very low, but man, 405 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: you ride this one out. Great matchup against a Cardinals team, 406 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 2: Joe that is one of the worst hitting teams in 407 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: baseball over the last month for his righties. Like they're 408 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: behind obviously the Guardians, but they're they're down the list 409 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 2: for sure. 410 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: So we've been piling on to producer Sath recently, who's 411 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: a Cardinals fan. Every time we talking to the Cardinals, 412 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: it's just like, oh, yeah, they're terrible, They're terrible. Apologies, Seth. 413 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: I shout out to Seth and the Cali who've done 414 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: a great job producing the show behind the scenes this year. 415 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: Haven't given them enough love personally, but they've they've been fantastic. 416 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: Give them some love in the chat if you can. 417 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about actually before that. I 418 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: well with Brady Singer. You know, the ground ball rate, 419 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: Like you mentioned earlier, there's always been a thing with 420 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: him around fifty percent. If I told you his ground 421 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 1: ball rate was going to go down into the thirties 422 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: this year, and he'd still give up fewer homers than 423 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: he normally does going to Great American Ballpark, I think 424 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: you would have been shocked by it. But he's he's 425 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: been great. He really has been great. I'm using them 426 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: right now in a couple formats and will continue to 427 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: do so for the of the season. Let's talk Ryan 428 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: weathers this one. The only reason that gives me a 429 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: little bit of pause is because it's at Cores Field again, 430 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: same situation people are in, like head to head finals 431 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: right now, the season's on the line. Is Ryan Weather's 432 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: worth that risk at Cores? 433 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's back. You picked him up for a reason. 434 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 2: When healthy, he's one of the better pitchers in baseball. 435 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: He looked great in his return. He saw Uri Perez 436 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 2: dominate on Tuesday Night out of nowhere. That was bizarre world. 437 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: Now the Rockies are hitting better versus less, like surprisingly 438 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: good vers Lefties over the last month. I still throw 439 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: if I have weathers, I'm throwing weathers and we're seeing 440 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: how it goes. 441 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: Now here's what I want to bring up because I'm 442 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: somebody in my Patreon chap mentioned it like a few 443 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I was completely wrong on this. They 444 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: said should I pick up Justin Verlander? And I said, 445 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: come on, what like, come on, you don't want to 446 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: do this, You don't want to do this to yourself 447 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: heading into the Fantasy playoffs. And my sincere apologies because 448 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: if you did pick up Justin Verlander, he's been brilliant 449 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: for the last four starts six innings tour and runs, 450 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: five innings clean, six innings clean, seven innings won and 451 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: run facing teams like the Dodgers, the Orioles, the Cobs. 452 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: It's not just the terrible terrible teams in here. So 453 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: with that being said, is Justin Verlander worth starting for 454 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: you today as he faces the Diamondbacks in Arizona? 455 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're rolling it out there, like you said, I 456 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 2: I clowned on Verlander earlier in the season. I've done 457 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: a one eighty over like the last month or so, 458 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: because if you want to go deeper back to July 459 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: twenty thirty. Has made ten starts. Two of the starts 460 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 2: he's allowed eleven earned runs. The other eight starts he's 461 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: allowed four and runs combined. That is outstanding. How well 462 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 2: he's gone. He's gone fifty seven k's and fifty five 463 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 2: and a third. He's been great. The back's going be pesky. 464 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 2: I totally get that. It's a not the most warm 465 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: and fuzzy situation there, but love Verlander for this and 466 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 2: if you're trying to plan ahead for next week, he 467 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: has a two step and it's a very nice two step. 468 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: Finishing with Colorado in San Francisco on Sunday. I believe 469 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: it's the Cardinals to start the week, sorry Seth. So 470 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: it's a really good one two punch for Verlander when 471 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: we don't know who's actually going to pitch those starts. Verlander, 472 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 2: of all pitchers, should pitch both those starts. There's really 473 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: no reason not to have him pitched those starts so yesterday, 474 00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: love him for next week as well. 475 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: It's crazy. I can't believe we're here. I thought he 476 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: was totally finished. I thought he was done started out 477 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: the year that way. 478 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: Man, I watched it every fifth day. It's brutal. 479 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: He's come back from being a meme and just something 480 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: that you make fun of Ben Verlander for to like, Oh, well, 481 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: he might help me win a Fantasy championship this season. 482 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: So good on Verlander. Probably, so we'll still make fun 483 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: of Ben Verlander, no questions about it. That's it for today. 484 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: I think those are the most viable options today, but 485 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: there's four of them. Tomorrow is a little bit more 486 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: on the thin side. I want to ask you about 487 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: Colin Ray. Uh, I always make it. I forget if 488 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: it's Colin Ray or Colin Ray. I think it's Ray. 489 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: But do you have any you know if it's Ray 490 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: or Ray? 491 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 2: Actually, first I've said I've said Ray forever, so I'm 492 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: just gonna stick with it. I'm good at mispronouncing names, 493 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 2: but I least I'm consistent when I do it. 494 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 3: So we're going with Ray now. 495 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: The question is are you going with him as he 496 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: faces it is Cincinnati? I believe at Great American Ballpark 497 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: tomorrow would be willing to use him. He's a four 498 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: twenty three ERA one thirty one whip for the year. 499 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: Nothing terribly impressive, But in a pinch as a streamer, 500 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: would you be willing to Nope? 501 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 3: Nope, nope, nope. 502 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 2: I know the Reds offense hasn't been like a world beater, 503 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 2: but put him in that ballpark, a guy that pitches 504 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: to a lot of contact. I am not taking those 505 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 2: chances this time of the year. 506 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: I think that's probably fair. What about Stephen Colak, He's 507 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: facing a team that is red hot in Seattle, who 508 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: has been great. But the last four starts for Stephen 509 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: Coolek have all been two ear and runs or fewer, 510 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: where he's gone at least six innings. So what do 511 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: you think. 512 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually streamed him last week and I got 513 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 2: away with it. He's been very good. I am not 514 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: putting up against the red hot Mariners. Their team is 515 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 2: just insanely hot. Not to mention Kolak, another guy that 516 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: pitches a lot of contact, So I just don't want 517 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: to run into that road. 518 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: I think that's fair too. I think that's fair. The 519 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: last one I want to ask you about here is 520 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: Sandy L. Contra, who has been mostly dependable in the 521 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: second half but also in August there was a five 522 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: in run game and a sixer in ren game. Two 523 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: starts ago was four earned runs. The strikeouts have been better, 524 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: but he's not. I don't know if he's all the 525 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: way back to being Sandy yet, he's most of the 526 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: way back. But course field fantasy playoff season, are you 527 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: risking it? 528 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 3: Yeah? I am. I like what we've seen from Sandy. 529 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 2: Yes, it's not one hundred percent every time out there 530 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 2: for him, but we're seeing nice velosity. We're seeing the 531 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: swinging Smiths swinging and miss come back the last couple 532 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: of weeks. If you're gonna pick on anybody, it's Colorado. 533 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: Like I said, Uri pres out of freaking nowhere on 534 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 2: Tuesday Night. I'll take my chances with Sandy again. It's 535 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: the preface all the time, and anything can happen in baseball, 536 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: but love the matchup. 537 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 3: I'm gonna roll with it. 538 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: Big Dance is asking Sandy or Yuri for the last 539 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Sandy has at Colorado and then at Philly, 540 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: Uri is at Texas and then versus the mets O. 541 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Sandy just because I don't trust 542 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 2: Uri at all. He had that great start there, but 543 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 2: I don't trust Yuri Prez. I think he's he's either 544 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: tired or still hurt. 545 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: Or he's kind of like it's kind of like where 546 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: Sandy was a few months ago, where he's still he's back, 547 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: but he's not really back, you know, he's not quite ready. 548 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: Next year, I feel like here he is going to 549 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: be somebody that I'm interested in, you know, another year 550 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: removed from the injury. By trusting him right now. I mean, 551 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: if you use him yesterday, you're very happy. But right now, 552 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of a dicey proposition 553 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: to trust Yari Perez heading into the Fantasy playoffs. But guys, 554 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: before we keep going, I want to remind you we're 555 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: extremely excited to announce our new presenting sponsor, which is 556 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet.

We have a 585 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: couple of more questions in the chat. Here are we 586 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: starting Cole Reagan's today in a points league? We're going 587 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: to talk about him a little bit later, might as 588 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: well do it right now. Cole Reagan's making his return. 589 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: He is facing the Mariners, and the Mariners have been, 590 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: like we mentioned earlier, very very good. But if you're 591 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: beholding Cole Reagan's all year long, I'd argue what were 592 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: you holding him for if not to start him when 593 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: he's back. So I'm starting him, But bub, what do 594 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: you think? 595 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, to your last point, I cat's run kind of 596 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 2: aval like if you held them this long, you're starting him. 597 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 2: You might only get one more start with them now 598 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: to points league, So I don't know if he'll qualify 599 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: it for a winner quality start. I don't know what 600 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: they're going to do with them there, but the strikeouts 601 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: were there in the rehab. Hopefully they'll be there today 602 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 2: and you don't get bamboozled by a very good maners offense. 603 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: Definitely a chance at it now, if everything stays the 604 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: way it's lined up. Looking at the projected starter's grid, 605 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm looking at he'd pitch today, he'd pitch on Tuesday 606 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: against the Angels, which you'd like a lot, and he's 607 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: scheduled to pitch the last game of the season against 608 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: the Athletics in Sacramento. So potentially three Cole Reagan starts. 609 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how excited to anybody would be about 610 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: starting him in Sacramento right now, but you know it's 611 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: three starts, right How many guys are getting three starts 612 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: wrestled the way, let alone a guy with ace upside 613 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: like Reagan. So I think it's definitely something interesting to 614 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: keep an eye on if you are looking for a 615 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: pitcher and he's out there, he might be if you're 616 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: playing in a shallower league. I went from Kaisa Treks 617 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: to hard rock, but a season of growth. Yes, absolutely, 618 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: the Kaisa Treks ad reads. You know, I'm just upset 619 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: that they got rid of them before it was my 620 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: time to take over as the host because I was 621 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: really looking forward to doing some I. 622 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 3: Was looking forward to you reading those two. 623 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: I did not get as lucky did I do one 624 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: Maybe earlier in the year now, because when I filled 625 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: in earlier it was either with Joe or Welsh and 626 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: they were the number one in the host chare, so 627 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: I would not have had to do that. Unfortunately. Hopefully 628 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: somewhere in the future we can talk about Kaisatres again. 629 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: But we've given them enough free air time. Let's talk 630 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: about the three up and three down Dominic Canzone with 631 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: a holy crap type of game yesterday, three homers, four runs, 632 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: four means it's kind of a shame, you know, selfishly, 633 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: you hit three home runs, you're thinking maybe he'd drive 634 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: in more than just four. But you can take what 635 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: you get here. I mean, I can't complain about a 636 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: three homer game. Seventy two games for him, ten homers. 637 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: He's hitting three h four with a one forty three 638 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: WRC plus really interesting stuff twelve percent barrel rate, forty 639 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: eight percent hard hit rate. Is this a guy that 640 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: could potentially one day be a really good player, Bubbo? 641 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: Or is this maybe just a small sample sized fodder. 642 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 2: I'm kind of I'm stuck in the middle on Canzone. 643 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 2: Like the numbers you read off or outstanding? He seems 644 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: so like blow though before yesterday it's seven home runs 645 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 2: like you're like, Okay, that's fine, but that's a you 646 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 2: could stream that easy on a waiver wire unless you 647 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 2: play in a WRC plus league. It's really kind of 648 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 2: like a it's cool, Like the bag average is good. 649 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: He's probably more fifteen team fodder than twelve team, but 650 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 2: he's young and maybe, like you know, the reps are 651 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 2: gonna prove to be valuable at some time. I'm just 652 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: I have a tough time with him because I just 653 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 2: I don't believe it all just yet. 654 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: Seeing some news in the chat. I don't know if 655 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: this has been confirmed, but Wilson Contrera's has been declared 656 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: out for the season. 657 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 2: Oh, he's going on the He's going on the IL 658 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: with the biceps injury he left. He left Tuesday's game 659 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: after getting hit by a pitch on Monday. 660 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 3: Being banged up. 661 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: Left Tuesday, and it pretty much felt like that they're 662 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 2: gonna shut him down for the year. 663 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: So he's gonna hit the IEL. 664 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 2: Like. I don't know if they made the IL official, 665 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 2: but the rumors are swirling this morning he's going to 666 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 2: the IL, which would guess into his season. 667 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: As of fifty five minutes ago, they put him on 668 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: the IL. So that closes the book on Wilson Contreras 669 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: ever going in the catcher spot again for fantasy baseball. 670 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: Get the sad thank you for your service the last year. 671 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: Here twenty homers, seventy runs, eighty Ribby's five steals with 672 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: a two fifty seven. What beautiful, beautiful way to send 673 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: him off. Now, who we were placing him with, Drake Baldwin, 674 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: Samuel Bisaio. I like both, Bubba, you're the catcher guy. 675 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: I'll defer to you here. 676 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonnao has this really good? Baldwin started to hit again. 677 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 2: It's been a dire situation there. I'm gonna go Bisio. 678 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: But both are very solid. If if you're in a 679 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 2: waiver format, put bids in on both and see which 680 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: what he landed with. 681 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, if they move him an off seasonal Herrera actually 682 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: catch next year. So I don't think Wilson factors into 683 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: the catching anymore. Herrera didn't catch down the stretch because 684 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: they were working him back from an injury. Opening Day 685 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, Horreras behind the plate, No, Bubba, do 686 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: you think so? 687 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 3: Yes? And no? 688 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: There he's working his way back for injury. That was 689 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 2: the key coveat here, but he wasn't playing a ton 690 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 2: to begin with because his defense sucks. That was the 691 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 2: thing is, like Pie has, his defense is better. They 692 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 2: had other options that had better defense, and as the 693 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: Cardinals way. The Cardinals prefer let's win three to two 694 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: with great defense and good pitching. That's how they've been 695 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 2: for I'm not knocking the Giants. That's their philosophy as well, 696 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 2: So I get it. It's worked very well for the 697 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 2: Cardinals for years. It'd be great if Freyr was buying 698 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: the plate more for all of our needs because right 699 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: now that util only just crushes his fantasy value in season. 700 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: Next year, even if you take him util only, he'll 701 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: need ten games in season on NFBC. And that should 702 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: happen at some point, that's. 703 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 2: All for sure. It's just a matter. It's much more 704 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 2: when not if that happens. Yes, Like so again, people 705 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 2: probably hate this discussion. I love him in Draft Champions 706 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: because his ADP should in theory tho, there's a lot 707 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 2: of smart players and all be on the same page 708 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 2: that ADP should fall, and if it does, you can 709 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: stash it basically have an extra catchery down the stretch. 710 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: So yes, now, if you are playing on I believe 711 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: Yahoo ESPN. A couple other sides. He played fourteen games 712 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,719 Speaker 1: behind the dish, so some of them he'll still qualify. Yeah, well, 713 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: the Yahoo you trip over home play your catcher eligible player, Brandon. 714 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: Low This is a catcher, Yeah, friend, Ralva as I 715 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 2: mean as a catcher. 716 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 3: Or I can't even talk right now. 717 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: Got he'll get easy for you to say, Bubba, We'll 718 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: get there. Brandon Lao two for five yesterday with a 719 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: home run and he drove in four. Really good stuff 720 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: from him. For the season as a whole, Brandon allow 721 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 1: has been very solid. And then Freddy parol to another 722 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: great start six innings, two hits, one earned run with 723 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: ten strikeouts. A great season from Freddy parral to where 724 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: he's really really been under it. I mean he was 725 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: underrated heading into the year. Maybe he's gotten his fair 726 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,239 Speaker 1: praise during the season, but man, he's been great. On 727 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: the down. Paul Skians had a stinker three and two thirds, 728 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: seven hits, three earned runs, three walks and six strikeouts. 729 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: Is there any chance that he's maybe running out of 730 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: steam a little bit here? You think, Bubba, is that 731 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: could that be the reason for this? 732 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 2: Maybe he's just having a bad start. Like pitchers have 733 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 2: bad starts, they can't be perfect. Twenty four to seven, 734 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 2: even elite Pedro, he still had an e are of two, 735 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: like two to two, So there was a couple of 736 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: rough outings out there. 737 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 3: I'm not too worried about it. It's also you. 738 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 2: Know, do you want to pitch in Pittsburgh in September? 739 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: Like what are we playing for right now? We're just 740 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 2: kind of going through the motions anyways, so that it's true. 741 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: One more start for him, it looks like, which will 742 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: come at Cincinnati at Great American Ballpark against Hunter Green, 743 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: which should be interesting. I think that'll be next next Wednesday, 744 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: if the schedule sticks to what it looks like right now. 745 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: James Wood, who we already talked about earlier, oh for 746 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: five with a golden sombrero, just miserable. And then Michael 747 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: King three innings, ten hits, eight earned runs. I mean, 748 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: I'm facing him in my head to head finals, so 749 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: I like it from that perspective, but I don't like 750 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: it from a Michael King health perspective. His next start 751 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: is against the White Sox and then after that versus Arizona. 752 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: Would you be willing to start him after what we 753 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: saw last night. 754 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 3: Uh No, it was a combination. 755 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 2: It was a combination of I think they just left 756 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 2: him out there to get his pitch count up and 757 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: it didn't work obviously, to a combination of I don't 758 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 2: know how healthy is Joe. I really don't, because it's 759 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: been such a weird year. It seems like he's continually 760 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 2: working back from something. 761 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 3: I'm just out. I'll be back in next year, probably, 762 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 3: but I'm out right now. 763 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. I think that's totally fair. 764 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: Like we mentioned the White Sox sor no slouch right now, 765 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: and Arizona can get to you in any given night 766 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: as well. So I think it's probably better to just 767 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: maybe honestly drop Michael King and let somebody else worry 768 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: about picking him up and seeing, Oh, Michael King's on 769 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: the water, Like, I don't think that he is worth 770 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: it at this point, Let's get to the sad news though. 771 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: The injury report Boba Schette will not return before the 772 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: end of the regular season due to his knee injury. 773 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: Thank you, Austin Wells. Not happy about that one, but 774 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: we'll take what we got from bow. It was a 775 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: great season. He was on pace to lead the league 776 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: in hinds, potentially in the batting title. You take what 777 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: you've gotten from him. I think he's finishing up as 778 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,719 Speaker 1: the number seven short stop, So we'll chalk that up 779 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: as a w. We'll chalk this one up as a 780 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: huge l. Jordan Alvarez dealing with the significant ankle sprain. 781 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: And if you guys saw this one, he just did 782 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: his You know, everybody's done it, They've twisted their ankle, 783 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: taken a wrong step, but Jordan Alvarez, it seems like 784 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: this guy every other step he takes is a wrong step. 785 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 3: Bubba. 786 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm at the point where unless he's like a fourth 787 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: or fifth rounder, I don't want to next year. 788 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 3: What about you. 789 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been off my board for a couple of 790 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: years and people have argued with me that I'm crazy, 791 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: and I get it, But this is why I got 792 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 2: Just like if you look at his look at his 793 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 2: fangrass page or whatever site you want to use. The 794 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,239 Speaker 2: just overall production. We we've read it off before. It's 795 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 2: not what you want from a number one first round pick. 796 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, on a per game basis, he's one 797 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: of the best hitters in baseball without a doubt, But 798 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: when you're potentially playing forty games in the season, is 799 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: it worth it? 800 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 3: Right? 801 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: If he's in the fourth or fifth round, I think 802 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: that would have to be it for me, right, I 803 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: think about it in the third maybe, but he's he's 804 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: got a fall like you need production in the early rounds. 805 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: You said it, We've all said it. You can't be 806 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: getting two hundred at bats out of your first round pick. 807 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: Zach Netto was placed on the aisle with a handstrain, 808 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: which should effectively end his season. But a very impressive 809 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: season for zach Netto after missing the first part of 810 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: the year, He's been unbelievable. Jordan Westbury activated from the 811 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: EL on Tuesday, and Cole Reagan's like we mentioned, we'll 812 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: return to the Royals rotation against the Mariners. Any chance 813 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: Kurts doesn't win Rookie of the Year, no, Kurtz, I. 814 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 2: Think Kurt's winning. If Kurt doesn't win Rookie of the Year, 815 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 2: I won't eat for three months. 816 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: I mean, Nick Kurtz is having a season that is 817 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: a historic rookie season. We've seen, We've seen great rookie 818 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: years before, but Nick Kurtz. If you're like, you know, 819 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: he's not on qualified leader boards, so you have to 820 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: kind of mess around with the playing time filters, the 821 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: highest WRC plus and baseball all encompassing offensive number. How 822 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: what is your offensive output this year? Aaron Judge is 823 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: number one. Nick Kurtz is number two, ahead of show 824 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: Hey Springer, Raley schwar Borsto. He's been unbelievable, thirty two homers, 825 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: eighty runs, eighty ribbies. If he doesn't win Rookie of 826 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: the Year, then I will fly to the league office 827 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: and I will protest myself. 828 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 3: But it's we have a bet. 829 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 2: We have a better chance of Nick Kurts winning Rookie 830 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 2: of the Year than Ken Rosenthal apologizing to his cameraman. 831 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: Dude, he's such a donkey. Oh my god, that look 832 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: that that It wasn't even just the knocking the guy over. 833 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: You're not gonna go the guy over. If you pick 834 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: a guy up a you knock him over. It was 835 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: the the look of disgust he gave, why were you 836 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: in my way? Oh my god? That was that was awful. 837 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: And then he tried to do like a half an apology. 838 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: But it's like, come on, Ken, like that was that 839 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: was really awful, single handle. He took me to my 840 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: championship and made up for drafting Ellie. That's how you 841 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: do it. You know, you compensated by picking by sicking answer. 842 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: One of the best rookie seasons, really ever, Mike Petriello 843 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: wrote about it recently. Really one of the best rookie 844 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: seasons we're ever gonna see. But let's get to our 845 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: favorite part of the show, and that is the best 846 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: bets of the day. Bubba, looks like you're sticking on 847 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: brand here mostly, but you've mixed it up and you 848 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: also have a strikeout over by the looks of it. 849 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: So let's hear it. 850 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna go with matt Olson. 851 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: He faces the good Lord Brad Lord on on Wednesday. Here, 852 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 2: Mattles has been streaking really really hot. He's Homer and 853 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 2: almost every other day it feels like I'll think my 854 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 2: chances on that one in Washington over three hits runs 855 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 2: and RBIs for plus one thirty. Trent Grisham is doing 856 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 2: his thing, hit an absolute bomb off of Debbie Matthews. 857 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 2: On Tuesday, leading off for the Yanks, they face TODs Bradley, 858 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 2: who I still don't believe is fixed. So over three 859 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 2: hits runs and RBIs for leadoff hitter for the Yanks, 860 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 2: and plus one forty and then I'm going into Coors 861 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 2: I'm taking it on because I was shocked to see 862 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 2: this number. 863 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 3: Ryan Weathers. 864 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 2: I understand pitch count all that stuff. He was allowed 865 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 2: to have eighty five pitches his last start, so it 866 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 2: feels like he should be rather stretched out. So over 867 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 2: five strikeouts and Coors Field, the plus one fifty five 868 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 2: sounds like a bet worth taking. 869 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: In my mind, I think absolutely at that line, plus 870 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: one fifty five, that's gold. Jerry, that is gold. Let's 871 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: get to mine. Start with hayges a Zardo. This one 872 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: might look a little weird taking an under bet on 873 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: Hazes Zardo, but the Dodgers really aren't striking out a ton. 874 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: If you look over the last few weeks there below 875 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: twenty percent strikeout rate. Lozardo, He's kind of a wild card. 876 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: You never never really know what you're going to get 877 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: out of him, so getting the under five and a 878 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: half might feel a little bit risky, but at plus 879 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: one thirty it is a bet that I'm willing to take. 880 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Padres straight up on the money line 881 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: Nick Paveta versus David Peterson, who hasn't really been as 882 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: good in the second half, and the Mets have been 883 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: I know, they've won their last two games with the 884 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: Mets have kind of been in free fall mode. So 885 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 1: just taking the Padres there with a pure money line, 886 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: and then Mariner's Royals over eight and a half runs. 887 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: We've talked about how it's Cole Reagan's first start back. 888 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: Never really know what you're gonna get, But on the 889 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 1: other side of that, you especially don't know what you're 890 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: gonna get because it's Bryce Miller, who has been also 891 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: pretty poor as a whole this season. So over eight 892 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: and a half minus one ten slight bit of juice there, 893 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: but we will take it and make sure you guys 894 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: are checking out the prop bet sheet sheet if you 895 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 1: are looking for some help with placing your bets. It 896 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: will help highlight new markets for you, the best bets 897 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 1: across different books. Makes everything easy for you over on 898 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: our sister's site at Betting Pros. But but that will 899 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: take us to the home run call segment of the show. 900 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: I'm personally going with your guy Augustin Ramirez today in 901 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: course field and he's facing mcaid brown. We'll get to 902 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: my apology self. We'll get to the home run board 903 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 1: in a second. I'm a poor host today, Bubba. Let's 904 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: see your home run call. 905 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna stick with Matt Olsen here. I talked 906 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 2: about him for his prop bet. I love the power 907 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 2: he's been showcased. He's heating up good hating environment in Washington, 908 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 2: great Titian environment in the pitching machine called Brad Lord. 909 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,479 Speaker 3: So yeah, give me. 910 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: Medals, Paul of yourself. Let's throw the home run board 911 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: back up for a quick second here. Sixty two for Whips, 912 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: sixty for Positive Grouch, fifty nine for George, fifty nine 913 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: for Bees, and fifty nine for the Fisher King. Really 914 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: really tight stuff. I mean, if anybody has like a 915 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: two or three home run game at this point, that 916 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: could really sway things. Whips is starting to creak away here. 917 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: If I mean, if Whips gets a two or three 918 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 1: home run game, that might be curtains on the SAMI 919 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: Socid Jersey. But we still have I think twelve or 920 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: so games left for these teams, So make sure you 921 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: guys are getting your picks in there. On the fantasy 922 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: pros discord. It looks like our last question for the 923 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: show is we'll Tray Savage pitch again this week. I 924 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: think he will pitch on the weekend against the Royals 925 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. That's what things are lining up to be. 926 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: Toronto has been a little bit unpredictable. I wouldn't have 927 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: thought that he'd even be in the rotation at all. 928 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: This is historically not something Toronto has ever done. A 929 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: guy in Lauer who is doing route well, you take 930 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: them out of the rotation. You bring up a rookie 931 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: like this. It's very uncharacteristic, so they could potentially move 932 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: some parts around. But you Savage, I believe we'll be 933 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: getting the start this weekend in Kansas City. But regardless, 934 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: he is worth holding on to. Even if they happen 935 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: to move him back or something and you keep he'll 936 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: still get at least one more start before the end 937 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: of the season. And based on what we saw in 938 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: that first one, I think you are definitely gonna want 939 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: to have that in your lineup, Bubba. That will do it, 940 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: my friend. We're t minus three shows down.
