There was like 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.400 thirty messages in the chat before we even started the 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.680 show today. I love that. And here's the best one. 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.199 If you want to talk about leading off, here's leading Off. 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.320 Here's Dan g leading off. I dropped lance Lynn and 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.800 who picks him up? The guy I traded Brandon Lau 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.000 to get Lance Linn for in the first place. If 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.360 Lynn gets good again, I'm going to mail that guy 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.160 some farts. That's what he said. That's how you start 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.200 a show, That's how you lead off. That's the first comment. 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:48.800 Does it get better than that? Welsh? I don't think so. 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.760 Do you think you can like logistically mail a fart? 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:54.840 You think you can like put it in like a 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.120 bag and like it opens up. It's not gonna make 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.880 the sound, of course, but do you think the uh 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.800 aesthetic of a fart can really be mailed? 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.280 Well, I guess here's the thing. 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.600 I mean, asking for a business venture, this is a 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:07.279 business venture. 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:09.959 I think what you do is you have to have 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.279 the hybrid where I think perhaps you you send something 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.760 in the mail that's smelly, and then at the same 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.520 time you send an email and you ask the person 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.440 to open both of them up at the same time, 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.520 and then the other email has like a you know, 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.440 the sound of one, so you're getting the full experience 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.880 at the same time. It's a lot, it's very complicated, 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:29.360 I think from. 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.039 That, No, No, I think I think it's like similar 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.399 to like saving the ocean the ocean air, you know, 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.800 being at the beach and being like bottle up the ocean. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.080 You can just bottle up a good old fart and 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.560 send it to the lancelid pick her up or or 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.240 you know there's a company out there too that I 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:44.839 don't know if you know this that you can send 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.560 like elephant poop to people. You're gonna see that what 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:49.320 a world we live in. 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.920 So the you know, those are your options. So washing 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.520 your farts and starts very very closely. This is why 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.040 you tune into the show. Nobody's having as much fun 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.920 as we are talking off baseball, the X plug of 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:02.920 you know, Shell hal Coney. At this point, it's been 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.600 slightly disappointing. Well, should I have to say, no, that's 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.520 not this show. We're not gonna do that. We're gonna 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:08.600 talk kind. 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.600 Of on the other extreme of it that we're talking 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:12.160 about fart. 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.080 Literally let off with a fart thing this morning. But whatever, 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:16.960 it's fine, but we're gonna lead off with a lot 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.160 of other good things. Zach gallon Ouhi that the investment 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.920 in saw Young's looking pretty good right now. Seven innings, 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:27.280 one run. Great performance from him. By the way, he 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.839 was also part of that trifecta yesterday. If you had 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.120 the parlay of the day again, you hit again yesterday 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.160 two and a half to one. So I hope you're 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.040 following this show. I hope you're with us at Betty. 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.120 There were some good bets yesterday. Who was it in 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.720 the chat that was dogging me about my I was like, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.880 I like the White Sox total runs. I kind of 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.079 like the first five over in that game as well, 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.040 and they're like, no, no, both hit absolutely both. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.519 We'll find pretty much everything but Brown hold them out. Yeah, 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.679 Hunter Brown. The only thing that Hunter Brown was disappointing 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:56.160 other than that. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.560 And Unter Brown and Byby stunk, but like isab mitched. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.359 Kelley specifically didn't make investment in Bibby because whenever it 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.359 comes to young pitchers, I know there's always these weird 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.320 bumps in the road, like Gracy Rodriguez, Right, he looked 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.280 great a couple weeks ago in his first win, and 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.320 he threw up like it was worst start right after this. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.840 Funny enough, remember actually went up hardcore because when we 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.200 did the show, it was four and a half and 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.760 it jumped up to five and I jumped off. I 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.880 didn't because I did some of my stuff after the 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:21.680 show and it went to five five and a half, 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.000 and I was like, that'll happened? 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:23.840 What the hell happened to this? 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.639 Because I think everybody was hitting four and a half, 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.359 so I think a lot of people got burned by that, 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.440 but not by Zach Allen, who was also in your 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.240 parlay and my individual that total, it was a month 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.560 I'm in bad continues to be awesome, by the way, 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.960 eleven swinging misses in that one, even though it was 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.520 a little messy early on, he looks like the dude. 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.640 He had eight whiffs on the fastball thirty two percent. 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.440 He had an overall thirty one CSW thirty one percent 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.320 CSW magnificent. 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.120 Look. Baseball betting sometimes is just not that deep. I 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.360 mean I looked for who the A's were playing, Oh, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.680 the Yankees, and Nester Cortez, well, that's a check. I 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.000 look for Zach Gallon start, that's a check. And Shane 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.520 McClanahan start against the Orioles. Check. You put the three together, 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.200 you turn yourself around, and next thing you know, you're 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.080 winning money. That's what you do. Here's a here's a 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:11.400 good one. 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:11.600 Here. 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.440 This is a Brett Anderson. Mail him some fots some 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.239 Brandon fought. Just mail him a Brandon Fott card. 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.600 There you go that Yeah, well actually uh, Conka said 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.920 that like you know, like those music cards where it's 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.240 like uh and it's like. 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:31.480 Very just Here's a great question, by the way, from 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.840 Bill Schmidt, how much longer are we holding Jordan Walker? 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.200 And ToJ Bradley and Redraft, I'm holding Taj for a 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.760 while like I'm not you know, you know, his pitchers 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.560 continue to drop like flies. I know, Glass now is 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.600 coming back. But I'm holding Tosh Bradley. Walker is more 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.520 complicated now with this Contrera situation. That's my only thing. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.200 And now that he's clogging up d H. I know 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.480 Gorman hasn't been hitting. I got some questions on Twitter 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.360 about him today. But what do you do here with 0:04:55.400 --> 0:05:00.880 these two guys? You hold him both. So TODJ. 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.800 Bradley is really tough because there's a couple of things 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.720 with it. He has gotten uh, he's gotten litty. His 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.360 last two starts after being sent down, it has not 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.720 been good. I'm trying to pull it up here. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.480 Uh. That bothers me zero percent. It bothers me some. 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.239 He's given up four earned run. He gave up foreign 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.160 runs in his last start. The one before that he 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.000 gave up it looks like eight. Yeah, it was eight. 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:25.560 He gave up. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.120 He alimated out one inning, walk two, struck out two. 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.560 Then he gave up four, walk three, struck out one. 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.600 Here's the other problem. He's still on a six day schedule. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.279 He's not even on the five day schedule thing yet, which. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.400 Is it's not about because I don't think it was 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.279 ever about that. I think it was a service time manipulation. Nonsense. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.160 That's thing that that is Jordan Walker. By the way, 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.719 so tomorrow is the day Wednesdays of the day where 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.480 if they bring him up, he can still qualify for 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.240 the extra pick if he were to win Rookie of 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.400 the Year. If they don't, he loses a full year 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.920 of service and they gain an extra year. So he's 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.240 not coming up anytime soon with their mess. So I 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.840 would tell you this in a ten man, I think 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.040 both can easily be moved off for re draft, and 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.240 a twelve man with how things are going right now, 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.640 I think you could probably move on from Taj if 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.599 there's other options out there, maybe even Walker. Anything deeper 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.960 or really deep benches, I probably not. I still really 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.560 fully believe in TODs Bradley, but I'm very discouraged by 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.440 whatever this is. I would you know what I would 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.800 love to have heard if they said, all right, Taz, 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.880 you're going to get sentient just a day. But yeah, 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.080 but exactly that's. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.600 Why I want to I even look at the breakdown 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.280 of what his pitches have been. But I get I 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.520 guarantee you if it's like ninety percent fastballs, it's like 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.120 just go get your work in, you know, just you know, 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:38.440 let's let's not try to. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.680 I'm gonna do that today. I haven't done it yet, 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.560 but I'm going to go back and look at what 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.320 his pitch mix is versus what the last two triple 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.240 A starts are, because that's exactly it. I want to 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:48.920 be like, have they been telling him we want you 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.240 to do this thing right here and that's causing some 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.120 of the blow up. So I just don't know what 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.599 this management is of it. So it's like, listen, if 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.040 you've got option. My biggest thing is always this, if 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.920 you have options, I think both you could move on 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.680 if you wanted to. If options are limited. These are 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.320 both not just like Will and Nelly drops or anything 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:07.560 like that. 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.559 I'm holding those guys to Memorial Day. You got plenty 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.640 of time there, especially in season long leagues. Let's get 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.920 to more headlines. Shane McClanahan four hit ball for six innings. 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.680 He was great. We talked about him. Mitch Keller, wells 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.800 you were on this yesterday, prize Pickin' and Styland and 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.640 profile and how good is Mitch Keller? Wow, eighth phenomenal. 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:29.360 K's one walk He's now four and one. It's tremendous. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.520 Mitch Keller. I mean, and I like Mitch Keller's personality too. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.640 He's like, he's just a really good dude. So I'm 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.480 very happy for Mitch Keller, just as a sidebar, not 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.520 that that matters at all. Chase sil Seth, which I 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.280 always struggle saying, and I could see it a million times, 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.640 this is like the way Wonky can't say. So Rare 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:49.800 sil Seth for me is hard to say. I don't 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.800 know why is gonna replace Jose Suarez. He's twenty two, 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.440 He's got a point nine zero era, a point nine 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.120 zero whip and twenty to eight k walk ratio in 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.800 twenty innings and four starts. Is still set a guy 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.240 that you should be adding in leagues here as we 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:04.800 know Suarez is going to be out for a while 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:05.400 with that shoulder. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.400 Yeah, I think so this was that Actually this was 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.240 a move a couple of weeks ago when I was 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.280 out here talking about how Jos Sware is the worst 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.520 pitcher in baseball, and then he pitched like the best 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.320 game ever. He turned back into a pumpkin. He did 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.800 exactly what. He got hurt, unfortunately, but seven and runs, 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.960 two and two thirds. Still Seth was was a guy 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.560 that was like dominating in the miners. They brought him 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.200 up to kind of be the long relief guy, and 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.560 I think he'll get the starter gigs right now. So 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.560 that is definitely something I would take a look at. 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.120 I'm not jump into the wire. Here's an interesting one. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.080 Are you dropping TOADJ. Bradley for for sil Seth. 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:37.880 That's a tough one. I'm gonna say no because of 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.000 what my eyes saw with TODJ. Bradley, I'm gonna say no. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.160 I don't think that's quite the move, my boy. I 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.800 would I with Mitch Keller though. 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.160 Yeah, here's Mike Patton. Mike Patten's funny Joe can't say 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:53.760 half the names. Joe's dumb. Yeah, that's right, because. 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.960 Joe I like how he's drags. I'm very no, he's 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.800 dracts Mike Patten's draft track. Nothing goes over my head. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:03.640 It's my reflexes are too nat. 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.240 There's a lot of names in my head. I didn't 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.520 give it tie. You know, I do cover baseball, I 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.959 do cover football. I do cover college football. You know 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.920 it's it's it's a tougher thing than you realize. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.200 My brain, my brain one hundred percent switches players. Sometimes 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.360 I will say football name for a baseball player. That's 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:22.280 just that's how it goes. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.719 Here's the best retort. Let's take a quick break in 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.760 the action to tell you about Fanimal. I love live events, 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.679 but I hate buying tickets the hidden fees they suck. 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.559 It's like paying for a whole other person who's not 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.840 even there to be there with you at the event, 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.599 and customer service is terrible, and coordinating with friends is 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.240 a nightmare. But then I discovered fanimal and Fannamal has 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.480 tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball, you name it, 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.959 and Major League Baseball. And plus there's no fees. The 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.319 price you see is actually the price you pay. What 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.880 a concept. You heard it here first. Fanimal is the 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.000 cheapest place on the internet to get MLB tickets. And 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.840 we've all experienced how painful it is to coordinate going 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.319 events with friends, and I always end up front of 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.160 a bunch of money and then chasing down the friends 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.559 to get reimbursed, and if they flake, I'm stuck with 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.400 the whole bill.

It's not that hard. I mean, 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.280 let's continue on. Franmil reyes DFA by the Royals, only 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.760 twenty seven years old, and he was terrible this year. 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.559 This is such a perplexing one because when he landed 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.160 in Cleveland, a couple of years ago Welsh he started 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.199 to really pop and we're like, yeah, okay, friend Mill 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.320 is gonna be that big boy d H kind of thing. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.720 He's gonna go smack thirty homers every year. Maybe I'll 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:26.360 hit two fifty. 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.160 But remember me last year, I was like, fran Mil 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.720 might hit forty, Like he's gonna tap it, and you. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.920 Just didn't launch what happened to Franmil. This is one 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.120 where I just I can't understand it because usually you 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.520 don't see it happen a player of this age. You know, 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.920 usually twenty five twenty six year old guys when they 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.439 start going, well, it doesn't fall off the map. It's 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.720 weird that he's twenty seven and it's just he's getting 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.439 DF eight at this point. It's very strange. So I 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.480 don't know if it's a work ethic thing. I don't 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.240 know if it's you know, it's it's tough because you also, 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.720 whenever more than one organization, you know, when you see 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.360 guys start to bounce some organization organization, sometimes that's a 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.800 little bit of a red flag on a player. So 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:05.439 that's the only other thing I can think of that 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:06.320 there's something else there. 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.640 Yeah, I think what it is, and I would this 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.440 would be another thing to like go and research if 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.400 we really wanted to. But I think he was being 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.520 pitched a certain way for a long time, and I 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.680 think the league has started to adjust. You also can 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.760 see new trends, you know what I'm saying. There's more 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.880 splitters and more sweepers and stuff, and he doesn't have 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:27.040 the acumen to adjust to these, and it's completely falling apart. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.079 I think that's a big Also, I throw out that 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.959 Drew Waters has been rehabbing out here in Arizona and 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.000 he just got sent out to a Triple A assignment, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.800 and that's a guy. Once he's done, they're probably gonna 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.600 send right back up because he did make the major, 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.679 so he will. I think the writing was on the 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.199 wall that hey, there is no future here. Drew is 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.520 a week or so away, and they just let him 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:47.040 be free. 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.560 Be free. Not a big Drew Waters guy, but we'll see. 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.160 By the way, we got to talk about this too, 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:53.880 because I know this is hot in the chat too. Earlier, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.560 Mason Miller write elbow tightness. Yikes, this is not good. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.240 Why does this happen? Why do good things always go bad? 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.679 So quickly in Major League Baseball feels like this is 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.200 like the one bright spot for the A's. So obviously, 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.320 the concerned level whenever you have a Nobow issue is high. 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.319 So I mean, there's no other way to talk about it. 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.040 Like you if you're in redraft leagues, this is something 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.360 where if sil Seth is on the waiver wire, go 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.120 pick him up right now. You know, don't wait because 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:19.120 I feel like if you wait, but. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.439 Are you saying to drop Mason Miller for him? 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.120 I am, because he pitches for the A's anyway, and 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.439 if Silseeth's going to keep this rotation spot for any 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.800 length of time here, which it seems like there's a 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:35.240 good chance he does, then what are the range of outcomes? 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.480 Or Mason Miller news is good Welsh. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.160 I mean, that's a great way to put it too. 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:41.880 That's maybe the best way to put it right there, 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.679 is what are the range of outcomes? My biggest miss 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.600 on him the whole year was like the thirty innings, 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.079 Like I didn't see how he was going to go 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.199 bonkers and what they were going to stretch him to, 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:53.959 so kind of this whole time as he's been pitching, 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.520 I'm like, yeah, this is really fun. But how much 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.520 are we going to get now you throw on this 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.160 arm issue? They should baby living crap out of him. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.120 He already wasn't gonna get the innings. This does leave 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.760 the potential if this is not like devastating for the 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.640 back half of the year, that he can just be 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.760 let go, as in like he's just gonna go, you know, 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.640 fly free and we're not gonna have to worry about it. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.400 But yeah, I think this is very concerning. I'm I'm 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.080 a little like, I don't know if I want to. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.760 Drop until I get devastating image of like you on 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.560 a mountain side releasing Mason Miller with his wings and 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:29.920 five or you know those things where they like release 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.840 something and then like a bird comes out of nowhere 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.120 and snatches it and then yeah, like. 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.600 A hawk, Yeah exactly are scary, by the way, But 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.920 I don't I think I'm a little and lesser. Okay, 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.440 unless there's a cool option sitting out there, I don't 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.880 want to be reactive quite yet, okay, because there's discomfort 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.280 that was felt and that pushed off. If there's a 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.280 good option, I think you can be a little bit 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.280 more pushy about it. If it's kind of dicey. Then 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.360 I'm just gonna hold for just a second and then 0:14:58.400 --> 0:14:59.720 maybe I can put him on the eye l and 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:00.400 maybe I'm not. 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.800 I'm gonna make the move now. I'm gonna make the 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.480 move now if there's something there, and I'm gonna be proactive, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.240 not reactive, and look at what's worst it can happen. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.120 Mason Miller goes on the aisle for fifteen days, comes 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.160 back and he's fine, and then he's still pitching for 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.080 the A's. Like that's the thing, Like Mason mill is 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.680 really good. This is Redraft obviously dynasty, totally different situation. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.520 Like you you know, keeper league's totally different situation. Friends 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.600 don't let friends drop to Oscarnandez Craig Johnson, I see 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.560 your question. No you can't do this. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.080 That's like a ten team league. Like yeah, but I'm 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:27.440 still not. 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.000 I'm still not even in that scenario. More news too, 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.600 that's really some interesting stuff going on. So Casey Schmidt 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.680 got called up from Triple A today. This just happened 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.520 like like an hour ago. You broke it to me. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.200 I hadn't even say I broke it to Welsh. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.120 Which never happens. Usually it's the inverse uh hitting three thirteen, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.000 three fifty two lbp just a four to ten slugging. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.080 So as Welsh was, you know, giving me the profile, 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:50.600 this is a guy who's gonna hit for bating average, 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.240 make contact, not a big power guy necessarily only as 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.600 one homer does have a couple of stone bases though 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.480 three steals thirty two games. The Pirates are calling up 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.600 Josh Pelasios from Triple A as a guy he's been 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.280 up and down a little bit before he was a 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.280 role five guy. He's been crushing a Triple A. I 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.080 don't know if that carries over. He's got four homers 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.600 twenty RBI in thirteen games, hitting four thirty four with 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.800 a five hundred opp so this could be just another 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.720 lightning in a bottle guy. And then the other interesting 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.840 note too, David Peterson is not going to be starting 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.480 today a Triple A, so that start got scratched for him, 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.640 and not because he's hurt, but because of the injury 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.480 news that we had this morning or last night that broke. Basically, 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.920 whereas Max Schurzer's talking about, he's dealing with discomfort in 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.480 his right scapula near his shoulder blade. To me, this 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.960 week's of something's wrong. If you've got Scherzer in a 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.320 daily transaction lineup, you have to take him out today. 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.320 I don't think this is a good idea. I don't 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.040 think you start him. I know it, you could bite 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.280 you in the rear end. I get that. But to me, 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.040 this is a very clear thing of let's bring Peterson up, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.440 Let's let Scherza go out there do his bullpen today. 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.520 If he feels good in the bullpen, we'll let him start. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.280 If he doesn't, boom, he goes on the il and 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.120 then we have another circumstances. Now, I wonder, Welsh, do 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.160 you think this in got exasperated by the whole I'm 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:03.760 not going to pitch for ten days and instead of 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.840 doing a rehab start or any other stuff, I'm just 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.040 gonna go right back. And you know, b Max Scherzer, 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:13.280 do you think that that ego centric move there could 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:17.400 have dealt, you know, kind of impacted this injury potentially negatives? 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.480
