<v Speaker 1>talk about today, Greggy, some pretty gross pitching performances last night,

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>some bounce back hitters as well. Before all that, how

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>did you sleep last night? I slept pretty well, I'd say.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm Judy keeps going to the bathroom and about five

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>am specifically, and you always remember it's technically five fifteen,

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, like every because you know, I get up

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.039
<v Speaker 1>very quickly sleep. Yeah, so five the team. She gets

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>in the beggars the bathroom last three nights. So that's

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>not working out well for you. It's okay, I'm sleeping well,

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>but I just know that she's gonna not go to

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom, and I know I don't lean over. You

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what time it is and the sun's coming up,

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and like, all right, it is what it is. You

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>have windows in your bedroom, I have like a small one, okay,

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>like a basement apartment kind of thing. Um, the last

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>windows the better. How if you you know what I

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>used to like when I moved to New York, what

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>six seven years ago? Now? I Um, I demanded blackout shades,

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and then I realized, I think they're expensive. I don't

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>want to pay for them, so I never got them. Um,

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>put it on your wedding registry, Greg, that's fine now,

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I just used that, just like used to whatever. I

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm very I'm a pleasant person the morning. I rarely

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 1>get off grouchy ever i'd say so I wake up,

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>but I'm like over the day, whatever I've seen me Well,

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I watched, um watch a good amount of TV last night,

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>which was good. I finished Barry season two, no, I

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 1>watched the Yankees. I watched the Yankees, I watched the

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Bucks and Rafters, and I watched Barry, I watched Spencer Turnbull,

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Edwardo Rodriguez and Zach Wheeler, and I wish I hadn't

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>My night sounds better, much better than you did. At

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 1>some At some point, I was going back and forth

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>with a few people on Twitter. I was like, I'm

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>just gonna shut my laptop down for the night because

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>it's clear that this is not a good baseball night

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>for me. So I'm just gonna close this and I'm

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna switch the game to the NBA playoffs. And that's

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>exactly what I did. Great. It was just not a

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>lot going right for me last night from a fantasy

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>baseball perspective. So very frustrating, very frustrating. Out I'm sorry, Frank,

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>all right, it's not your fault. Where where would you

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 1>like to begin? Wherever you want? What do you what

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>do you think? What do? What do you want to do?

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I started the first game of the night, Trevort Bauer.

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he was part of the problem. Yeah, we're

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna start there. You're asking me, he said, Well, I

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>want to do I want to start, Frank by patting

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>myself on the back. I'm not a decision maker, so

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>you're the decision maker here. Yeah, I'm gonna start by

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>patting myself on the bat, Frank, because that's what I

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>like to do. What you do right in the best

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>bets forever. I said, I like Matt Strong, and I

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>like the San Diego Padres. Frank, you also said that

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>you like Spencer Turnbull in Tigers. I said that was

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>my If I had to pick another one, that was

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>what it was. Yes, but I said I like that Strong,

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I like the Padres. And all they did was defeat

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the Arizona Diamondbacks three to two. Strong, six strong innings,

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.839
<v Speaker 1>two run ball, four hits, struck out two, didn't walk

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>anybody well. Zachrik he also pretty well seven in four hits,

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>three or in one's one walk, five strike hats. The

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>big bombs against Zach Grinky, Eric Hosmer went deep, may

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>have a chidle single holm, Eric Kindler and that amer

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Ian Kinsler and that was it. All the runs allowed

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>by Grinky come in the sixth inning. A really nice

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>picture performance by both of these starters. Curby Yates comes

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>out on the ninth, gets his nineteenth save of the

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>year by striking out the side on fifteen pitches. He

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>loved Hey all you and Kurby Yates. He was your

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>guy this year. Yeah, I love Curby Yates. I only

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>ended up with I think one or two shares of him,

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>but I wrote about him extensively on my patron obviously

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.239
<v Speaker 1>talked about him a lot here during these draft season.

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>He was the one that I said, Uh, if there's

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>anyone that can make that leap up into the Roberto

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>O son of the Brad hand T hear of lead closers,

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>that we don't have any question marks about Herby Ates

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 1>was my guy. So if you drafted him, kudo see you.

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 1>He's been awesome thus far. Matt Strom has been really

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 1>good this year, but I do have some question marks,

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>like he's not walking anyone, which is really good and

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>is different than years past for match Strom, but he's

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>also not getting a lot of strikeouts at all. Great

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.679
<v Speaker 1>he's at seven point three case per ninine. His swinging

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>strike rate his down over three percent, and I realized

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>transitioning from a reliever back to starting pitcher, like he

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>was gonna lose some velocity. He was gonna lose some strikeouts,

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>but for your swinging strike rate to go from twelve

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>point six percent to nine point two percent, I do

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>have some question marks when it comes to match Strown,

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>But he's kind of in that tier that we were

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 1>talking about yesterday with Mike Minor, where you kind of

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>expect some regression, but what are you really gonna do

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 1>with him? That's that's the question when it comes to

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>match trom Like, no one's gonna be no one's gonna

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>buy that Strom. You're not gonna be able to sell him.

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Kind of in the same camp as like a Jake

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 1>Junas from last year. We all knew the regression was

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna come for Jake june Is, and as well as

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.559
<v Speaker 1>he was pitching, you could shop him, but you weren't

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to trade Jake Tunas for anything. So

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.719
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of where I'm at with Matt Strom right now.

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I like him, I don't really love him. You got

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a three point zero six year, you got a four

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>point five to xfit four to six Sierra, So I

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>think there's some regression coming here from Matt Strom. Gregg

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>probably so, probably so. And when we talked to the yesterday,

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 1>some of these overachieving guys can't really do anything with them.

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>You just put him in your lineup and you enjoy

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the Enjoy what you get and what has to be

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Matt strong. For now. You're not gonna be able to

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>trade away. Even the regression comes. You'll worry about that then,

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>but right now, enjoy Mattron was giving you. How much

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>do you think that you're fastball velocities to change when

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>you go from the bullpen back to being a starting pitcher,

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Like how much should it drop off? Two miles per hour?

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Is that reasonable? Yeah? I think that makes sense. And

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>last year Matt Stron was at nine point five miles

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 1>proud of this year he's at nine point nine, so

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 1>more a little bit more than probably hope for I

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>thought we'd be about. That's that's what we're looking at.

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 1>The slider vels down exactly too, using a slider a

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>ton when slider usage last year thirty this year, So

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>marry Patrick Corbin esque but not getting the Patrick Corbin

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>like results when it comes to strikeout. So just keep

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that in mind if you have match from that. This

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>might get a little rough as we go along when

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>it comes to match from just be aware you could

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>try training him, but it was likely you'll just enjoy

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>what you get while you get it. I mentioned Eric

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Hollisbord going deep. I also want to mention edwardo Escobar

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>went deep for Arizona. He's eleven home run of this season. Um, well,

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I just doesn't stop. He didn't stop, while John Ryan

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Murphy also went deep fourth time this year. I Jerry

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Murphy going deep. Why do the Diamondbacks hate Carson Kelly.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the Carson Kelly like other players as well. Well,

0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>you like a player who's sitting one eight four, you

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I just I this has been one of the more

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>baffling things. I was on Carson Kelly coming into the

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>year because when we play in these rotal leagues and

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>you need a second catcher, you can argue to death

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>whether you should play with one catcher, two catchers, whether

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you should play with no catchers. But a lot of

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>traditional rotal league still used two catchers. And I like

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>John Ryan Murphy, not John Ryan Murphy. I like Carson

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Kelly as a sleeper second catcher greg because he had

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>done some nice things in the minors. He was a

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>top catching prospect for years. He just was never gonna

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>be able to play behind YadA your Molina in St. Louis,

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.079
<v Speaker 1>and he realized that there was an interesting athletic article

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>about him before the season that said, look, no matter

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 1>what I didn't St. Louis, I was never going to

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>get a shot. And I knew that. And this year,

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>like some of the underlying bat ball date is actually

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty good for Carson Kelly, and for whatever reason, they're

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>just not playing him. I don't know if it's you know,

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>he's not a great catcher in terms of framing, or

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>he's not on the same page as some of these

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>starting pitchers of the Diamondbacks. But uh, it is frustrating overall.

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:00.959
<v Speaker 1>But yep, John Ryan murd Fee hits a home run

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>last night, former Yankee great John Ryan Murphy. That is

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 1>greg A Wuardo Escobar, though I mean you touched on it.

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>It is eleventh home run, thirty two Ribbies to seventy

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>four batting average O p s. Greg He got off

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>to a really slow start. But you know, we talked

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 1>about this guy maybe three weeks ago, a month ago,

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>and we were I was banging the table telling everyone

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.679
<v Speaker 1>pick up at Wardo Escobar. The guys just a professional hitter.

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 1>He's doing some nice things this year. He's hitting the

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.079
<v Speaker 1>ball harder, he's raised it a little bit more. H's

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>in a good part of the lineup. Two, So the

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>county stats are gonna be there, lots of like when

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>it comes to Atuardo Escobar. I had someone asked me

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a day, would you rather own Max Munsey, C J.

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Crone or at Wardo Escobar, and I said Escobar, I

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>would think it's for me, it's gonna be a Escobar

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>or I think right now, I agree with you. Like

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Max Munsey, I looked into his numbers. Still, you know,

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>forty plus percent hard hit rate, forty plus percent fly

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>ball rate actually holds his own against lefties, like his

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>batting average versus lefties and righties are nearly the same.

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>But the Dodgers, for whatever reason, they love splits. And

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.079
<v Speaker 1>even when the numbers tell you you know, Max Munsey

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>could play against left handed pitching, he still sits at times.

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 1>So I find that a little bit frustrating. The Dodgers

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>lineup is better than the Diamondbacks. But I know Eduardo

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Escobar is gonna play every day. Um, I don't have

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>any concerns about that. And and he's performing well. So

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>if I had to choose one of those guys Escobar, Crone, Monsey,

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I would take Escobar, not nothing against Caroline two because

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>he's played well too already. Let's continue on from last night.

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned Trevor Bauer will go back there next. Last

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>night it was Trevor Bauer Chris Bassett going at it.

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Neither picture very well. At least Bauer gave you the

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>six things work four hits, four runs, walked four as

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 1>well as not a force for him. He did strike

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.959
<v Speaker 1>out five. The big last he allowed was a Matt

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Chapman double as well as a more Canna hole run. Well,

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 1>get to that in a moment. Why Mark Cana was

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.719
<v Speaker 1>in the game at all. Frank Bauer hasn't been his

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 1>lights out as you. Hoby threw a hundred twenty three

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>pitches last night. He was the ground three point nine

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>five r A pending free agent, he's not. He has

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>one year after this. I believe it's very interesting. Yeah,

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they've really really been getting his pitch count

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>up there, so they let him throw over a hundred

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and twenty pitches last night and Greg over his last

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 1>five starts. It all started with the Marlins. I remember

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 1>that I used them on fandle of that night, and

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I was tweeting about it, and I was apologizing to

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>everyone since that game that came on April against Tomorrow,

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and so over his last five starts, Trevor Bauer has

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a six point six zero e r A a five

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 1>point one zero x FIT. His strand rate is fifty

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>six percent, his groundball rate is thirty five percent. We'll

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>getting you a ton of strikeouts, ten point five k

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>per nine, four point eight walks per nine. It's just

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 1>been a really, really frustrating year for Trevor Bauer. Seems

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of that progress he made last year

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 1>its terms of getting more swinging strikes, really honing in

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>on his arsenal, and using the pitches that work best.

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.959
<v Speaker 1>His first pitch strike percentage was a career high last year. Um,

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>he didn't allow as many home runs, He had the

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>best command of his career, he wasn't walking anybody. All

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>of those games that he made last year, Greg are gone. Yep.

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.319
<v Speaker 1>His swinging strike create is down almost two percents. This

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>here his first pitch strike percentage, and you see this

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.959
<v Speaker 1>like he tries to nitpick a little bit too much.

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 1>He tries to be so fine and everything that he does,

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and he puts a lot of working. You you hear

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>about all the stuff he does in the off season

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>where you know he's tracking his pitches with all these

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>types of machines and he's he's really like analytical when

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>it comes to his pitches and everything he puts in

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the work. But I think he just tries to be

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 1>too fine. I think he tries to be too cute

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.079
<v Speaker 1>at times, and you see it with his command. He's

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>not getting ahead and account right now. His first pitch

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>strike percentage is down about eight percent this year, not

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 1>getting opposing batters to chase pitches, which I think is

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>just a league wide thing that he and I spoke

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>about that a little bit. His hard hit rate last

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>year thirty nine percent this year, walks per nine last

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>year two point nine three, career best this year four

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>point four six. It's just a lot of the gains

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 1>that he made last year, Greg, he has not carried

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 1>over to this year. And that's part of the reason

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>why we're seeing this type of these types of issues

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to Trevor Bauer, and it's really really

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>frustrating and to be honest, I don't really know how

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 1>much better it's going to get, at least in the

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>near future. So the obvious question becomes, are you selling

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Bauer. My answer would be no, because this seems

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>like a really odd time to try and sell him

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>unless you can still sell him based off of his

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>name value and you can get a starting pitcher who

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>was maybe going a little bit later on, who's performing

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 1>like really well this year. I like, I don't think

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>you could turn him into a Luis Castillo, no chance,

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 1>no chance, like a Jose Burrios. He's kind of tripped

0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>up his past couple of starts. It is like, what

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>are you going to train him for? I think that's

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 1>what it comes down to. We all are the guy

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>that we always go to for trades is Jack Flaherty.

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.839
<v Speaker 1>But Jack Flaherty hasn't performed yet either. Rather have him

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>to get better. I would rather have Jack Flaherty, I think,

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and Trevor Bauer. Look, you can make the argument for like,

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of bad going on with Trevor Bower

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>with his underlying numbers. They're not good. Last year a

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>two point to one e r A. We weren't expecting

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that this year he had a three point one for

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>x fit last year. This year he's at three five

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>with a four four one x FIT. Well, why is

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 1>that He's allowing a lot of hard contact, so much hardcore,

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>more than ever before, I mean four hard hit rate.

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 1>He's allowing more fly balls than since uh what year

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>was that was the last time he allowed fly ball rate?

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>So more fly balls, higher hard hit rate, walking more batters.

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a recipe for disaster, Greg because

0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>you're walking these guys on base and you're giving a

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>fly balls in the turning its home runs, and next

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>thing you know, he's given up three run bombs, he's

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 1>given up Grand Slams, two run homers, and it's just

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>all stacking on top of each other. So I'm worried

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>about Trevor Bauer, But realistically, I just I don't know

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>what you're gonna trade firm right now. Someone today said

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 1>they were loaded at in their outfield and they sent

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>their starting pitchers over to me, and they said, I

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 1>got offered Trevor Bauer for my Starling Marte and it

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>was a points league, and I said, well, you're loaded

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 1>at the outfield, I would take I would take Trevor

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Bauer and just hope that he turns it around. But

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the underlying numbers are not great right now. When it

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>comes to Bauer, let me go over to Chris Bassett

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>here on the other side. Bassett, who has been very,

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 1>very good. He walked six guys yesterday, I let three runs,

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>three hits, uh in under four innings of work. Did

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>strike out six. Six of the one eleven outs that

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>he got were by the strikeout, so that's super interesting.

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>He allowed home runs to Carlos Santana and Francisco Lindor

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>um Blake trying and picked up the save here in

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 1>this one, his ninth of the season. Chris pass has

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 1>been a name on a lot of Fantasy Owner of

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>minds here um as he's been very very good for

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the most part this season. Would happened last night just

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the walks just had no control. Yeah, that's definitely it.

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Because you looked at his last five starts, he allowed

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>two walks or less in each of those starts. Yesterday

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 1>six walks. It's just not used to what we're seeing

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>from Chris Bassett. Uh. I'm underwhelmed here, Greg, because against

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the Indians, it's a really good match up to still

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>had the swinging strikes, still had the strikeouts, but hit

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 1>by the home run and the walks as well, which

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>we haven't normally seen from him this season. We'll give

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 1>it some updates on Indians and age players going out

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.439
<v Speaker 1>superstar like Damian Lewllard has to take over. You know

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.959
<v Speaker 1>you want to be regarded as a superstar. You can

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.920
<v Speaker 1>see Golden State charging. You gotta find a way to

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.360
<v Speaker 1>get a basket and stave off some of the momentum.

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.159
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I don't like killing Dame because we

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 1>know how good he is. But you know this is

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.919
<v Speaker 1>where your in the postseason. You know this is the

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 1>epitome of an elite team in Golden State. This is

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 1>where you gotta shine week days to the four pm

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Eastern on the Fantasy Sports Network and on your popular

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:47.159
<v Speaker 1>podcast providers. So let's get an update here on a

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:50.439
<v Speaker 1>couple of players coming and going for both the Athletics

0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 1>and the Indians. Last night, Chris Davis said won a

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 1>bat and then left the game as his oblique and

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 1>hip have been bothering him and he had an m

0:18:58.480 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>R I or he's going to have an m R

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I and it looks like he's not going on the

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I L yet. Charis Davis hasn't been right for some time. Rank. No,

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't, And we spoke about it when it happened.

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>He was just trying to make a running grab in

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the outfield. It might have been against the Pittsburgh Pirates

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.640
<v Speaker 1>where it was a National League park and they didn't

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>have the d H and he had to play the field.

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.679
<v Speaker 1>And this is part of the risk with you know,

0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the interleague play and players who are normally designated hitters

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.119
<v Speaker 1>when they have to play the field, Uh, they expose

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 1>themselves a little bit more to injuries because they're doing

0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 1>things that they're not used to doing. So I remember

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that very vividly. He was he was trying to run

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>down the ball down the sideline, ended up I think

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.199
<v Speaker 1>he caught it and then he ran into like the

0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>barricades of the wall and he ended up hurting his hip.

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.719
<v Speaker 1>And it seems like he hasn't necessarily been right since.

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.479
<v Speaker 1>And I know he had he's hit a few home

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.399
<v Speaker 1>runs that he might even even had a multi homer

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 1>game like last week against the Mariners, but he hasn't

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 1>looked right overall. His batting averages at two forty eight.

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 1>So if we could get one more at bat and

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>it out and then just shut him down for the season,

0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 1>that would be great, and he'll probably be a two

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:01.919
<v Speaker 1>forty seven right right, I would be great, But it

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 1>does look like he's gonna land on the I L. So,

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>in all seriousness, um, if you had him in your

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>line up this week, it's unfortunate. If you play in

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:10.119
<v Speaker 1>the NFBC, you'll be able to take him out of

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 1>your lineup for Friday over the weekend, But outside of that,

0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.119
<v Speaker 1>I would start looking into someone to replace him, because

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.200
<v Speaker 1>it's more than likely he's gonna land on the I L.

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>G Chris Davis for now not on the I L.

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 1>More Canistonian d h for Cleveland today. On the other side,

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Carlos Gonzalez got pinch hit for the last night by

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Luplow, and he wanted to get pitch hit for

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 1>again because he's no longer The team designated for assignment

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 1>today was Carlos Carlos for the Indians, So it sounds

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>like Frank, both veteran Indians that you wanted to have

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 1>since been cut in Hanley Mirez and Carlos I didn't

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 1>really want them. You play five outfielders, so you're just

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to find anyone who's breathing. Greg, So, uh, Carlos

0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Gonzala is still breathing, but just not in the Indians uniform.

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's unfortunate. I feel like he was kind of

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 1>coming around. Like I say that, I look at his

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 1>two ten batting errors, like I guess he wasn't coming around.

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, in the month of May he was batting

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 1>one sixty nine, So no, he was not coming around, Greg.

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 1>And it looks like it might be the end of

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the line here for Carlos Gonzalez, similar to what we

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>saw about Hanley Ramirez. It's been a really fun career

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:19.159
<v Speaker 1>for Carlos Gonzoz, all those years of playing Colorado former.

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I guess, first round pick at some point, right

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 1>for Fantasy Baseball, he was up there. Yeah, he had

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 1>a really awesome career, But I think this might be

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the end. I just can't really see him latching on

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 1>anywhere anywhere else. It's good news for astar Mercando because

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:34.720
<v Speaker 1>it looks like even a shoe he'll start every day

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 1>now ran right, Yeah, I think so, and he's he's

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 1>been playing too, so you know, everyone was freaking out

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.880
<v Speaker 1>about I need to get Willie Calhoun, who is now

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.639
<v Speaker 1>dealing with a quad contusion quad injury. Not in the

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 1>lineup today, so we'll see what happens with that. But

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Willie Calhoun, Austin Riley, who has been as as advertised,

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 1>and Nikki Lopez, and everyone was kind of forgetting about

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Oscar Mercado because he wasn't playing every single day Greg,

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 1>but he's played like the last three days in a row,

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 1>and they designate Parlis Gonzalez for assignment, and it seems

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>like he's gonna play every day. And don't look now.

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean he hid an RBI double last night. He

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:13.040
<v Speaker 1>went one for four. He's hitting so he's not performing badly,

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:16.359
<v Speaker 1>and he has that interesting power speed combination, more so

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:18.920
<v Speaker 1>speed than power. But it looks like he's gonna play

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 1>every day. So if you're one of those people who

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:24.520
<v Speaker 1>are he sneakily picked up Oscar Mercado while everyone else

0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 1>was picking up the other prospects, you might have something

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>on your hands here. We'll find out, yes, we will.

0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:34.359
<v Speaker 1>We'll find out also of Noe, And I know you

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted to ask about this person. I ask dr right

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 1>about him tomorrow. That's Bradley Zimmer, who was a name

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:41.639
<v Speaker 1>that we have not heard. He's getting close to that.

0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 1>That's probably what factors into agree. So it's a name

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:46.679
<v Speaker 1>we haven't talked about in a while. Rotal World had

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:49.439
<v Speaker 1>an update on him from Mandy Bell today. He's going

0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 1>to begin a rehab assignment with Triple A Columbus next

0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>week potentially, and he's been out for almost a year.

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 1>You got hurt running on the wall against the Yankees. Actually,

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Um hurt his shoulder and when he's healthy, he's just

0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 1>brought up to play. Bradley m six years old. He's ready.

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 1>He finally got the opportunity last year. And I know

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:10.399
<v Speaker 1>you events are definitely higher on him coming into the

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:13.200
<v Speaker 1>year than I was. UM. But Bradley Zimmer looks to

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 1>be on the way back and could be back as

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 1>soon as sometime in the middle of next month. Yeah,

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.159
<v Speaker 1>still only twenty six years old. Like, let's not forget.

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Before there was Willie Calhoun, on Oscar Mercado and Nicky Lopez,

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 1>there was a Bradley Zimmer. This was one of the

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 1>top hitting prospects in baseball. We were all so excited

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:31.320
<v Speaker 1>for him. He was the guy I think two years

0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 1>ago that we were spending all our fab money on

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:37.119
<v Speaker 1>was Bradley Zimmer, And you know, interesting prospect. He's a

0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 1>guy who never really hit for great batting average. Kind

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of actually reminds me a little bit of Oscar Mercado,

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a guy who has an interesting power speed combination. Back

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:48.720
<v Speaker 1>in ten, he hit fifteen home runs with thirty eight

0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:52.680
<v Speaker 1>stolen bases across two different levels in the minor leagues. Uh.

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>And then seventeen, the year he got called up, he

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.679
<v Speaker 1>had five homers, he had nine stolen bases. Batting average

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to sixty eight career hitter in the minors. So the

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 1>hit tool is not extraordinary when it comes to Bradley Zimmer,

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 1>but he does have some pop, he does have some speed.

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.840
<v Speaker 1>He can play center field. Right. Do you think this

0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 1>more so takes away playing time from Leone's Martin or

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:18.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think this might be the end of anything

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that we got out of Jordan Luplow, because Lupplo was

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:26.160
<v Speaker 1>actually performed better than Leone's Martin. I think it's probably

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the end of Leonis Martine. I think they like Jordan Luplow.

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 1>I do. I think they like his power, they like

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 1>his bat, I don't. You can see, say, a month

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:37.240
<v Speaker 1>from now, the everyday outfield being Jordan Lupplo, Bradley Zimmer

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:41.160
<v Speaker 1>and center, Oscar Mercado and Red that makes sense. Yeah.

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:43.199
<v Speaker 1>So if you're playing a deeper league, especially like one

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 1>of these five outfielder leagues, you want to stash Bradley Zimmer.

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Now is the time to do it. Am I doing

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.440
<v Speaker 1>it in like all twelve team leagues? Probably not? Maybe

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:54.399
<v Speaker 1>in twelve team leagues with five maybe maybe maybe stash

0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>him there depends who you're dropping obviously, but fifteen teamers, yeah,

0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I would be stating him right now. It's

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:01.639
<v Speaker 1>probably there. I'm gonna be looking into over the weekend.

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Greg the Red Sauce were bombed last night by the

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Toronto Blue Jay's long. Normally I would be very excited

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:10.520
<v Speaker 1>about that. I am very excited about that. Why is

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>that you don't have any Edwardo Rodriguez and right, you

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 1>trade him to me? That's right? And I'm facing it. Right,

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you're beating me eight to one? Right? Well? Thanks? Uh

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and Wardo Rodriguez, that's you is gonna happen in the

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 1>week we've played. It's like the way that these things were,

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.199
<v Speaker 1>they always work this way. Greg and I've talked about this.

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.680
<v Speaker 1>There are legitimately fantasy gods. I don't care what anyone says.

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>There's such thing as fantasy karma. All the players that

0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I basted coming into the season, Greg have owned me

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 1>this year. The guys that like I talked crap about

0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 1>this week, they've owned me. They've owned me. And it

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>just works out this way where if you trade with

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 1>someone like I'm facing you. You traded me and Wardo Rodriguez,

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 1>he sucks for me going against you. Now. I wish

0:25:57.280 --> 0:25:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you know you still had the Vetta on your roster

0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 1>because you'd probably get called called up and throw a

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 1>complete game shutout against me. That's probably what would happen.

0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 1>But these things exist, they do, Greg ed Wardo Rodriguez

0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 1>six hits, six runs, three walks, struck out five. He

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:12.680
<v Speaker 1>led three homers in his five and as of work

0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to Rowdy tells Randall Green Chuck and another one to

0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Rowdy tell us, Yeah, And I was watching the start.

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:25.879
<v Speaker 1>I had in Wardo and Turnbull on the laptop, and

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>then I had Zach Wheeler on the big screen. I

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, let me watch all my pictures, and I

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:33.160
<v Speaker 1>tweeted this out last night, Greg, and and please feel

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:38.119
<v Speaker 1>free to disagree with me. When you watch your starting

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 1>pictures in fantasy, they know they troll you. Man. It's like,

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:45.679
<v Speaker 1>whenever I watched one of my pictures in fantasy, they suck.

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.200
<v Speaker 1>It's I gotta stop doing it. And I tweeted it out.

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 1>A bunch of people responded to me saying, you know,

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the same thing happens to me all the time. This

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>guy said, well, I have Zach Wheel or my team.

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I turned on the channel. Boom. He gives up a

0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>two round homer to Brian Doser. It's like, I shouldn't

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:02.640
<v Speaker 1>have turned the channel because they just know. Like when

0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 1>you flip to go watch your pictures pitch in fantasy,

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>they know and they decide to suck. It's so frustrating.

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:13.919
<v Speaker 1>But for Eduardo Rodriguez, I think he has all the

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 1>talent in the world, but he's just one of these

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:19.879
<v Speaker 1>guys Greg, where he's super inconsistent. I have him in

0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:22.199
<v Speaker 1>two head to head leagues, and to be honest, I

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:24.240
<v Speaker 1>think that might be the worst format to own him

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>in because he's one of these guys where he's gonna

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 1>go out. His next started against Houston and he's probably

0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 1>going to be awesome. And if it were a one

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 1>start week, I would have benched him against Houston. But

0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that's the type of guy he is, where he can

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 1>go out and on any given day he can dominate.

0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 1>He has the talent to do so, but he also

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>has the talent or lack thereof, to get blown up

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 1>against a team like Toronto. Greg Heading into last night,

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the Blue Jays were in Wolba against left handed pitching.

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:56.240
<v Speaker 1>This was a very good matchup for Eduardo Rodriguez and

0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the and these two monster bombs that he gave up.

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 1>We're against Rowdy to Lett that's lefty on lefty. It's

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>just really really frustrating when it comes to with Wardo

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:07.879
<v Speaker 1>three walks, struggles with the walk to time, struggles with

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the home runs. I think he's a better picture for

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Rhoto because at the end of the season he's probably

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna have like a high three's e r A. But

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:17.199
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have some really good performances in there. You're

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:19.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna have these blow ups. He's gonna give you probably

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a strikeout for ending and like a one two or

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:25.199
<v Speaker 1>one to five whip and it'll look all right by

0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:28.000
<v Speaker 1>season's end. But week to week stats, Greg, it's just

0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:35.240
<v Speaker 1>so frustrating with EDWARDO. Rodriguez. Sorry, Frank, Well, I traded him. Sorry,

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, Yeah, I just I just gotta live. I mean, look,

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:41.360
<v Speaker 1>if you're one of these people who doesn't like living

0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 1>with the good and the bad and like maybe find

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a way to trade him. You can't trade him now,

0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:51.239
<v Speaker 1>because can you. I'm not cutting him, cut him. I'm

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:54.080
<v Speaker 1>not cutting just the upside is too high. We saw

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 1>it last year too. I can't come the last two

0:28:57.120 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>starts he's a lot of eleven runs combined. Of course,

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 1>two starts of sweet before that held one run combined.

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's Rodriguez. He's Eduardo Rodriguez in a nutshell. That's

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 1>actually before last night, idly enough, the Red Sox had

0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 1>won one, two, three, four, or five seven consecutive decisions

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 1>in games, some executive games in which Edward Rodriguet started like,

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 1>how emotionally invested are you into your fantasy team? Because

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 1>watching these pictures last night, I was like physically ill.

0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I was so frustrated. EDWARDA. Rodrigue is cruising through like

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the first three or four innings, dominating Zach Wheeler, leaving

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 1>him out there a little bit too long, thanks Mickey Callaway.

0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 1>And then I mean Spencer Turnbull. I mean it's like

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>anytime a team struggles against the Marlins, I just want

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to rip my hair out, Like I was so frustrated.

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I I feel like I shouldn't let these things frustrate

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:52.800
<v Speaker 1>me as much as they do. Greg. What they do

0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 1>is that happen to you, I wouldn't say the same

0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>extent it happens to you as I said last night.

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I was real enjoying Barry, so that was great. I

0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:04.640
<v Speaker 1>get frustrated and I make a wrong decision. I get

0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 1>frustrated when my players get hurt, and I get frustrated

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:08.720
<v Speaker 1>when my players get bombed, Like no doubt about it.

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like physically ill. It's certainly not now maybe like

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm laying on my couch and I would

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 1>just like turn over and just like bury my head

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 1>into the couch and just I was so frustrated in

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>a good mood last night. So I guess the Marlin,

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>like the Turnbull thing against the Marlins, just like so frustrating.

0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>And again I just quit pause before you that I

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:31.440
<v Speaker 1>read you the numbers for it was a good matchup

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:33.680
<v Speaker 1>for Water Rodrigue is going up against them, Yes, it

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:37.680
<v Speaker 1>was a great matchup. What is it Water Rodriguez? So

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess I just gotta live with it. You gotta

0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>take the good with the bad. But based on what

0:30:42.960 --> 0:30:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I've seen from him, I think he has talent to

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:47.440
<v Speaker 1>be much better than what he does. But for whatever reason,

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 1>it seems like he's never really been able to put

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it all together. It's either the year he's starting to

0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 1>put it all together, last year he gets hurt, he

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>always deals with injuries too, or just when you think

0:30:57.200 --> 0:30:59.560
<v Speaker 1>he's about to break out this year. Look if you

0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:01.440
<v Speaker 1>two really it starts in a row and then get

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 1>two really bad starts in a row, especially against a

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:08.840
<v Speaker 1>team like Toronto which he's supposed to dominate. So just frustrated, man,

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I need like a fantasy therapist or something.

0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 1>You want to be my guy, Gregg, there are something's

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 1>going wrong with just like face time you when you

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 1>calm me down, I feel like I already frank, but

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:20.959
<v Speaker 1>you don't. You don't really respond to many of my texts.

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm so frustrated. I don't want to text people back

0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 1>how much. I just don't want any contact with the

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:30.040
<v Speaker 1>world when these things are happening. Like, that's how frustrated

0:31:30.120 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I get. I would imagine it's it's probably the same

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 1>way Gabe freaks out like on his get Off, Get

0:31:36.560 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Off My Lawn sticks when when like he loses a

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:42.680
<v Speaker 1>bet or has a bad beat. That's that's what I

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 1>would imagine how I feel when I see Spencer Turnbull

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 1>or Edward Rodrigue is getting roy I think I'm just

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 1>more like exasperated. It's really the word for me, because

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:53.320
<v Speaker 1>there's a picture last night who's actually on your list

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 1>on the pole that like exasperates the crap out of me.

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:59.800
<v Speaker 1>It's very, very frustrating. What I would like anger that

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:02.000
<v Speaker 1>throw anything. And I didn't have my head buried in

0:32:02.000 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the couch. I just I didn't throw anything. I'm not

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>at that level yet. It's all this in the moment.

0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Don't have talk about to that. Marcus Stroman s five hits,

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:14.960
<v Speaker 1>one run, walks six, strikeout four and and this is

0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>part of the issues with with Marcus Stroman too, and

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 1>we've always said this Greg is that at times he

0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 1>walks too many batters, so for the lack of strikeouts

0:32:22.440 --> 0:32:24.920
<v Speaker 1>he gets, he walks too many batters, like normally, you

0:32:24.960 --> 0:32:26.880
<v Speaker 1>know a guy like Robbie Ray, like he walks the world,

0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>but he also strikes out the world, so he can

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of wiggle out of some of these problems. That's

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:33.200
<v Speaker 1>why you see, like Marcus Stroman has never really lived

0:32:33.240 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 1>up to his fruition because he walks too many guys

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 1>at times. And look, if you walk six batters against

0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sox, you are so damn lucky. Tod only

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:44.680
<v Speaker 1>walk away allowing one run greg and and to be

0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>able to go six endings so only has four strikeouts.

0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is this is pretty much standard standard

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Stroman. He did get nine groundball outs compared to

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 1>one fly ball, so that helps at times like you

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:58.000
<v Speaker 1>can get double plays, but doesn't really have a great

0:32:58.040 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 1>defense behind him there in Toronto. Still has a two

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 1>point eight one year A. He's been one of the

0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:05.240
<v Speaker 1>more pleasant surprises in fantasy this year, and I've always

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:08.000
<v Speaker 1>liked him. I think he has good stuff, but kind

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 1>of similar to to Bower Nibbles a little bit too much.

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh goes down these rabbit holes where like you can't

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:17.920
<v Speaker 1>command his pitches and walk too many batters. So I

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:20.600
<v Speaker 1>like what I've seen thus far. I would imagine some

0:33:20.680 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 1>regression is still gonna come on that two point eight

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:25.080
<v Speaker 1>one year probably close for like a mid three to

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>hide three e r A. But he's been one of

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the more pleasant surprises among starting pitchers this yere in

0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy base let's talk about more frustrating starting pitchers. And

0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>he kept saying his name, so we'll go there. It's

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:41.800
<v Speaker 1>fall Spencer Turnbull against Caleb Smith. Uh. You like the

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 1>under in this game, and I had it, and I

0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 1>like the bull as well. The well lost as of

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the under. Yeah, so this was a four to two

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 1>game actually heading into the ninth inning. By the way,

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:55.520
<v Speaker 1>we'll do the best best forever a little bit later on,

0:33:55.560 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 1>as we always do. But one on the side that

0:33:58.240 --> 0:33:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I also like, and I want to meagine because the

0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:02.280
<v Speaker 1>games starts at one ten pm from time, it is

0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the under in the Indians and Athletics game. Frankie Montas

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and ye Free Rodriguez. Nine and a half is the

0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:11.759
<v Speaker 1>total here. Both those guys picture well enough that game.

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:14.239
<v Speaker 1>He's going under Chris Davids in the lineup as well.

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 1>We like the under there, so make that bad if

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't. We're doing pretty well here, so under nine

0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and a half in the A's and the Indians that

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:24.840
<v Speaker 1>game first pitch schedule over one ten. Yeah, technically combined,

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 1>we're four and two over the past two days, but

0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:31.759
<v Speaker 1>two and oh, well two and one. But yeah, we do.

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 1>We're doing what we're we're doing well. We'll keep track

0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:36.279
<v Speaker 1>of this and see what happens. But I do like

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that call as well. So heading into the ninth ending, Greg,

0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the Marlins were up four to two and thanks to

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>some over in the total was seven or seven a

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:49.319
<v Speaker 1>half and half, so they were they were room spare

0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 1>and Sergio Romo came in and thanks to some bad

0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 1>defense behind him a few walks there was a challenge.

0:34:57.000 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 1>There was a fielder's choice error, like Miguel Cabrat hits

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 1>an RBI single, makes it four to three, and at

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:06.359
<v Speaker 1>this point it's first and third and Ryan Rodriguez with

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:12.279
<v Speaker 1>one out, it's a sacrifice fly at four to four.

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:15.399
<v Speaker 1>So they look good at the underlook good heading into

0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 1>this ending, but look at Sergio Romo. So I actually

0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:20.719
<v Speaker 1>should have factored that in a little bit more when

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I was talking about that, but overall watching Spencer Turnbull,

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I know, look, the numbers are still two point six

0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:31.280
<v Speaker 1>eight e r A. That's fine. Like, and I included

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:33.399
<v Speaker 1>him in the poll and someone called me out and said, well,

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:36.160
<v Speaker 1>there was no expectation on Spencer Turnbull coming into the season.

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 1>He shouldn't be lumped in with all these other guys.

0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I can understand that. That's fine. I was just kind

0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:42.960
<v Speaker 1>of lumping together pictures who pitched last night because we

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:45.279
<v Speaker 1>were going to talk about them today obviously. But he

0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:50.080
<v Speaker 1>just had nothing. He had nothing like the guy throws

0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:56.600
<v Speaker 1>he's got pretty good like vertically breaking slider um and

0:35:56.640 --> 0:35:58.520
<v Speaker 1>he just didn't have any like, he didn't have any command.

0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:00.759
<v Speaker 1>There were so many like three ball accounts like he

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:03.759
<v Speaker 1>fell behind, and every time he would fall behind, the

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Marlins pitchers just knew that a fastball was coming, and

0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:08.799
<v Speaker 1>Harold Ramirez hit a line drive homer off of them,

0:36:08.800 --> 0:36:10.839
<v Speaker 1>and they were just hitting them all night. Seven hits

0:36:10.840 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 1>and five innings, two walks, So nine hits and walks

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:17.040
<v Speaker 1>combined over five innings. The whip wasn't good. They didn't

0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 1>get a ton of swings and mrs either. You could

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:21.680
<v Speaker 1>tell the Marlins knew that they wanted to be patient

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:25.399
<v Speaker 1>against Turnbull here in this start, and it worked out

0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 1>well against him. It's really really good, frustrating. We're gonna

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:31.800

<v Speaker 1>Frankie Staffle all hanging out here with you on a Wednesday,

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and you got frustrated by the bull You were upset,

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:06.200
<v Speaker 1>You were grossly disappointed with what Edward or Rodriguez did yesterday.

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:08.440
<v Speaker 1>But for me, the most frustrating guy as he has

0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:11.400
<v Speaker 1>been from much of this year and once again was yesterday.

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:19.440
<v Speaker 1>That was your boy, Chris Archer. Archer is not been

0:39:19.480 --> 0:39:21.239
<v Speaker 1>the same since coming off the I L and really

0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been all that good to begin with. He pitched

0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:25.840
<v Speaker 1>five innings yesterday, a lot of six hits, four runs,

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:27.480
<v Speaker 1>only three of them were earned ninks to a Frankie

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Savelli er he walked to. He only struck out three,

0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:33.840
<v Speaker 1>throwing ninety two pitches in his five innings. I recognized

0:39:33.840 --> 0:39:35.799
<v Speaker 1>he faced the Rockies. With the Rockies away from corpse

0:39:35.880 --> 0:39:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Field or an entirely different team than they are at home,

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Archer has been mind bogging, bogging Lee terrible for the

0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:48.960
<v Speaker 1>most part this year. Frank is there any hope. No, No,

0:39:49.040 --> 0:39:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kidding. Well, honestly, I do have my concerns Greg,

0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:57.879
<v Speaker 1>because I wanted to jump in on Archer. I've we've

0:39:57.920 --> 0:40:00.239
<v Speaker 1>always thought that he's a talented pitcher. The past couple

0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of years, I thought that he was being overvalued. He's

0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:05.920
<v Speaker 1>had an ear ray over four for three straight seasons.

0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 1>This year he stands at five point five five. And

0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I just like the discount that we were getting on

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:14.120
<v Speaker 1>him this year and the fact that he pitched in

0:40:14.160 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh and it's a pretty good ballpark to pitch in

0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:18.040
<v Speaker 1>and he still gives you a strike out for ending,

0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:20.719
<v Speaker 1>but the underlying numbers great. I mean, you might want

0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to you might want to hold your ears. I don't.

0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you want to listen to this.

0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Because a forty one point six percent hard hit rate

0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:30.239
<v Speaker 1>against him the past two years, that's been thirty nine

0:40:30.239 --> 0:40:33.239
<v Speaker 1>percent exactly, So he's got some Robbie Ray and him.

0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:36.759
<v Speaker 1>He basically falls behind an account, has to throw the

0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:39.839
<v Speaker 1>ball over the plate. It's no what's coming. Because he's

0:40:39.880 --> 0:40:43.160
<v Speaker 1>basically a fastball slider pitcher doesn't really utilize his changeaball

0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that much, and he becomes predictable, and they are squaring

0:40:46.520 --> 0:40:48.839
<v Speaker 1>him up. They hit the ball hard against him. This year,

0:40:49.480 --> 0:40:51.840
<v Speaker 1>uh much different than years past. Normally, this guy is

0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a forty five percent groundball rate guy. This year it's

0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:58.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty two percent. He's allowing fly balls forty seven percent

0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:01.080
<v Speaker 1>of the time. You about that with the fact that

0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:03.200
<v Speaker 1>he's giving up as much hard contact as he is

0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and his walks per nine four point five four not good.

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:10.840
<v Speaker 1>So we talked about this being a recipe for disaster

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:13.240
<v Speaker 1>when it came to Trevor Bower. The guy is walking

0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:16.080
<v Speaker 1>a ton of batters, giving up a ton of fly balls,

0:41:16.600 --> 0:41:20.919
<v Speaker 1>and he's giving up hard contact. So it's just it's

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>not a good combination of things going on right now

0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:25.560
<v Speaker 1>for Chris Archer. And on top of all of that,

0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Greg his fastball velocity is down. Last year it was

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:34.879
<v Speaker 1>four point seven point five last year nine point seven,

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:41.000
<v Speaker 1>this year nine point two. I wanted to take a

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:43.759
<v Speaker 1>bite at the apple that is Chris Archer. I've never

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.319
<v Speaker 1>owned him before. We had Nick Pollock on. He was

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:49.520
<v Speaker 1>basically begging me like, don't do it. I've done this before,

0:41:49.560 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 1>don't do the Chris Archer thing. And now I'm learning

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:55.480
<v Speaker 1>firsthand why you don't do the Chris Archer thing. He's

0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:58.200
<v Speaker 1>just so far from the picture he was early on

0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:00.239
<v Speaker 1>in his career where he was so dominant. Greg. I

0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:03.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's his inability to develop that changeup, develop a

0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:07.200
<v Speaker 1>third pitch, change up, his arsenal um, being able to

0:42:07.239 --> 0:42:09.920
<v Speaker 1>command his pitches. It's just a culmination of things, and

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:12.120
<v Speaker 1>he just ultimately doesn't look right right now. Maybe he's

0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:15.439
<v Speaker 1>still dealing with an injury. But you can't start Chris

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Archer right now. You can't start him. He's got to

0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:19.680
<v Speaker 1>be on your bench. I don't know that I would

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:22.720
<v Speaker 1>go as far as to say I would drop him.

0:42:22.760 --> 0:42:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't drop him, but you can't start him right now.

0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:27.839
<v Speaker 1>He's got to be on your bench, Greig, who would

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:31.920
<v Speaker 1>you rather? Would you? Would you? Oh? What a Rodrigue

0:42:31.960 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 1>is a Chris Archer? Oh gosh? Death is not an option, No, sir,

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:42.239
<v Speaker 1>I give you the bulls an option if you want it.

0:42:42.920 --> 0:42:50.080
<v Speaker 1>No thanks. I would take a Ward Rodriguez, But who

0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:52.080
<v Speaker 1>would you have warning signs with both? Who would you

0:42:52.160 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 1>rather have Edrdar Rodriguez or not? Strump? Oh man, I

0:42:59.520 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 1>would would still take it, Awardo. I would take match

0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Strom well, Greggy, is this is this Josh Bell all

0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:10.799
<v Speaker 1>over again. I could see that. I had to think

0:43:10.840 --> 0:43:12.839
<v Speaker 1>about it for a second, because you're tak a couple

0:43:12.880 --> 0:43:15.600
<v Speaker 1>of seconds there. I mean, you're you're dropping. You'd be

0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:19.560
<v Speaker 1>choosing a guy who's inconsistent, who has upside over a

0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:22.520
<v Speaker 1>guy who has performed thus far and Matt strong. But

0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the underlying numbers say that there's gonna be some regression

0:43:26.480 --> 0:43:31.320
<v Speaker 1>coming and he doesn't get that many strikeouts as well. Ah,

0:43:31.480 --> 0:43:33.560
<v Speaker 1>it is close, it is close. I would I would

0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:35.520
<v Speaker 1>still take a Wardo Rodriguez. I guess I'm like the

0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Iran apologist. I don't I don't know how this became

0:43:38.960 --> 0:43:43.160
<v Speaker 1>a thing. I you know, Florio hand me the mantle

0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of being the Edwardo Rodriguez apologist. And that's where I

0:43:46.400 --> 0:43:50.799
<v Speaker 1>am at. Right, what are you gonna do with Archer?

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Greg You're gonna drop him? I know you have them

0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:54.000
<v Speaker 1>in a few spots. Do have them in a few spots.

0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:58.400
<v Speaker 1>It's very frustrating. Um, I don't want to drop him. Well,

0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:01.480
<v Speaker 1>it's the old question of fantasy. Is he going to

0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:03.480
<v Speaker 1>be added right away? And the answer is probably yes.

0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I try to sell him low, just try and get

0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:09.800
<v Speaker 1>something for him. Because like, if you think this is

0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:12.040
<v Speaker 1>going to get potentially worse, or this is just the

0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:14.760
<v Speaker 1>picture that Archer is for the rest of the season,

0:44:15.200 --> 0:44:16.799
<v Speaker 1>then you might want to just try and sell him

0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and get anything for him while you can. I understand

0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:22.040
<v Speaker 1>your logic and doing that, But he's gotta get better

0:44:22.080 --> 0:44:25.000
<v Speaker 1>than this canny, doesn't he unless he's dealing with some

0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:28.960
<v Speaker 1>underlying issue that we had that and that that might

0:44:28.960 --> 0:44:30.960
<v Speaker 1>be it. I mean that that could easily be enough.

0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I remember when we spoke to dr he said, I

0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:36.520
<v Speaker 1>mean this could very easily be something that lingers with

0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Archer for the rest of the season. I mean it

0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:41.520
<v Speaker 1>might be contributing to his drop in velocity, to an

0:44:41.560 --> 0:44:42.800
<v Speaker 1>issue with your thumb. I mean, you've got to be

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:45.239
<v Speaker 1>able to grip the ball obviously. Yeah, I mean you

0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:49.160
<v Speaker 1>look at the past two stars since he came off

0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the ive been awful, you know, just just just just

0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:53.799
<v Speaker 1>awful of the start right before we heard himself. Do

0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:55.759
<v Speaker 1>you think someone would give you Matt Strong for him

0:44:55.840 --> 0:44:59.360
<v Speaker 1>right now? I can actually make that offer in a

0:44:59.440 --> 0:45:02.520
<v Speaker 1>league obviously. Well, I mean you just say that you'd

0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:05.600
<v Speaker 1>rather have from than EDWARDO. Would you rather have him

0:45:05.640 --> 0:45:09.520
<v Speaker 1>over Archer? I think you could make make the case

0:45:09.560 --> 0:45:15.320
<v Speaker 1>for it. Of course I could. It sucks because everything

0:45:15.360 --> 0:45:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that Archer is doing and struggling with his real and

0:45:17.520 --> 0:45:19.399
<v Speaker 1>you you lead out the numbers a few moments ago,

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:22.240
<v Speaker 1>there are no signs where he's gonna turn it around.

0:45:24.680 --> 0:45:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is three years of him not being good. Now, Greg, like,

0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:31.799
<v Speaker 1>we have enough data. I'm staring at it. He's he's

0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the reverse Marco Estrada, Marco Astrata, always someone who outpitched

0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:39.439
<v Speaker 1>his peripherals. Every year you look at Chris Archer, he's

0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:43.600
<v Speaker 1>got like the sub three five, you know, fhip and fit.

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:46.040
<v Speaker 1>You're expecting all these things to happen. But this year,

0:45:46.400 --> 0:45:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's up over five. And the underlying numbers

0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 1>with him are also very, very bad. The walks are

0:45:51.160 --> 0:45:53.719
<v Speaker 1>just ridiculous, and that might go back to him not

0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:56.320
<v Speaker 1>being able to grip the ball. Greg, and he if

0:45:56.320 --> 0:45:58.160
<v Speaker 1>he has any trouble gripping the ball. I mean, this

0:45:58.239 --> 0:46:00.759
<v Speaker 1>is someone who never really had great man to begin with.

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:04.360
<v Speaker 1>He's always struggled with commanding his fastball and manning his

0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 1>breaking pitches and throwing his slider for strikes and being

0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:09.839
<v Speaker 1>able to use a third pitch in his changeup, and

0:46:10.040 --> 0:46:13.240
<v Speaker 1>if he's having trouble gripping the ball, imagine how much trouble,

0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:15.920
<v Speaker 1>how much more trouble he's having commanding his pitches than

0:46:16.000 --> 0:46:22.279
<v Speaker 1>he normally does someone who already struggles with command. I

0:46:22.280 --> 0:46:28.480
<v Speaker 1>want to look into a few pictures here. Do you think, like,

0:46:28.920 --> 0:46:31.719
<v Speaker 1>would you rather have one of these starting pitchers who

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:35.600
<v Speaker 1>have been waiver wire pickups this year? Greg? We're performing well,

0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and do you think is it even realistic to make

0:46:38.640 --> 0:46:40.799
<v Speaker 1>a trade like that? Like if you offered Chris Archer

0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:43.239
<v Speaker 1>from Martin Perez right now? Do you think you can

0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:49.680
<v Speaker 1>get Martin Perez? I do? I do? Yes, I think

0:46:49.680 --> 0:46:51.920
<v Speaker 1>we can both much rather have Martine Perez right now

0:46:51.920 --> 0:46:55.000
<v Speaker 1>than Chris Archer. Absolutely rather have Martine perezienters Archer. So

0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:56.520
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like you have to send out some offers

0:46:56.600 --> 0:46:59.640
<v Speaker 1>right now. Frankie Mantas, do you think you get Montas?

0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you can. I think people who have

0:47:02.360 --> 0:47:10.239
<v Speaker 1>Montas really like yeh, I'm scrolling down the list here.

0:47:11.520 --> 0:47:13.360
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't do it for Wade Miley, would you, Greg?

0:47:13.440 --> 0:47:17.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean you're a Wade Miley guys, But do you

0:47:17.239 --> 0:47:21.719
<v Speaker 1>think but like Wade Miley, there's no luster at all?

0:47:21.800 --> 0:47:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Should you Brad Peacock? I mean, it's a good conversation

0:47:29.719 --> 0:47:32.680
<v Speaker 1>at Peacock the numbers right now, he's not getting as

0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:34.399
<v Speaker 1>many swinging strikes this year. You've got a three five

0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:36.480
<v Speaker 1>nine ear a one point zero five whip. He's been

0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:39.080
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. It just doesn't go deep into games. Do

0:47:39.160 --> 0:47:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you play with quality starts in ear league? Well, you

0:47:42.440 --> 0:47:46.239
<v Speaker 1>know Brad Peacocks very rarely. Well, neither neither. It's Chris

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Archer for that matter. I probably would rather have Brad

0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Peacock than Chris Archer? Who else is in this range?

0:47:55.320 --> 0:47:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Would you? Would you rather have gee Leto? Greg? Is

0:47:58.000 --> 0:48:01.719
<v Speaker 1>that crazy? Is that too far down? Rean Gleedo is

0:48:01.719 --> 0:48:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a three year rade right now and he's doing some

0:48:05.239 --> 0:48:09.719
<v Speaker 1>nice things today. We talked about g Leto all the time. Now, now,

0:48:09.760 --> 0:48:11.600
<v Speaker 1>are are you getting to the point where you're selling

0:48:11.640 --> 0:48:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Chris Archer too low? We get the numbers for Gileto three,

0:48:15.280 --> 0:48:20.600
<v Speaker 1>three five year, ray To seven xfit, but ten case

0:48:20.680 --> 0:48:23.359
<v Speaker 1>per nine this year the career high swinging strike rade.

0:48:25.280 --> 0:48:29.520
<v Speaker 1>You'd rather have Geleto? I think I think this is

0:48:29.520 --> 0:48:32.600
<v Speaker 1>why I get this thumb issue. Might burn you name it?

0:48:32.640 --> 0:48:34.840
<v Speaker 1>All these guys and I understand they're all own Mantas

0:48:34.880 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and Gedo and strong, right, I get it. I know

0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:39.960
<v Speaker 1>exactly where you're going. They're all owned. Why aren't we

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.360
<v Speaker 1>dropping him? Why are we dropping him? And I know

0:48:43.280 --> 0:48:45.640
<v Speaker 1>your answer was gonna be who are you dropping before? Right?

0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:47.440
<v Speaker 1>So there's nothing out there I'm gonna tell you right

0:48:47.440 --> 0:48:49.319
<v Speaker 1>now is the pictures of my waibor wire like we

0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:52.719
<v Speaker 1>we had that, We had that stretch where it was

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:55.399
<v Speaker 1>every week we had pictures. We were enticed with Greg,

0:48:55.400 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it was Martine Perezi. It was turrible. We had all

0:48:59.000 --> 0:49:01.680
<v Speaker 1>these guys, but they're owned now, agreed. So let me

0:49:01.680 --> 0:49:03.080
<v Speaker 1>give you the guys are out there in my league

0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the week I owned Chris, our turn to lead my

0:49:04.680 --> 0:49:06.640
<v Speaker 1>whole league. I'll tell you the pictures that are out there.

0:49:06.640 --> 0:49:09.319
<v Speaker 1>You let me know, ready, I got I got a

0:49:09.320 --> 0:49:14.720
<v Speaker 1>good one for you, really good one ready, yep, Tyler Molly,

0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Well you said you had a good one. It's a

0:49:18.480 --> 0:49:24.279
<v Speaker 1>good one. That is that is a good one. And

0:49:24.280 --> 0:49:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and all the underlying numbers for Tyler Mallley are look good.

0:49:27.560 --> 0:49:33.160
<v Speaker 1>And he's he's doing things differently this year. I would

0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I would do that. I would do it so hard

0:49:36.680 --> 0:49:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I would, And you know, Tyler Mallley faces faces the

0:49:42.600 --> 0:49:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Cubs this week, I wouldn't want to start him for that,

0:49:45.360 --> 0:49:48.279
<v Speaker 1>But he gets the Pirates after that, and they's the

0:49:48.320 --> 0:49:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers and shut out. I'm not scared of. The Cubs

0:49:52.320 --> 0:49:55.600
<v Speaker 1>are really good against right handed pitching, though Greg Dodges.

0:49:56.560 --> 0:49:58.440
<v Speaker 1>They have a three forty one wOBA the Cubs do

0:49:58.480 --> 0:50:01.319
<v Speaker 1>against right handed pitching um and a really high walk

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:03.040
<v Speaker 1>rate as well, so they're just really patient. It's just

0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:05.759
<v Speaker 1>it's a nightmare matchup going up against the Cubs. Even

0:50:05.800 --> 0:50:07.600
<v Speaker 1>if I had Tyler Mallley on my team on my

0:50:07.640 --> 0:50:09.720
<v Speaker 1>bench and he pitched well against the Cubs, I wouldn't

0:50:09.760 --> 0:50:12.000
<v Speaker 1>be mad at myself for benching him there. But next

0:50:12.040 --> 0:50:14.360
<v Speaker 1>week I've already started looking into next week because in

0:50:14.360 --> 0:50:16.440
<v Speaker 1>one of my home leagues, I'm getting destroyed, so it's

0:50:16.560 --> 0:50:19.279
<v Speaker 1>onto the next week. I'm already looking at that. He

0:50:19.360 --> 0:50:21.239
<v Speaker 1>faces the Pirates, and I like that matchup a lot.

0:50:24.840 --> 0:50:28.080
<v Speaker 1>But is there more trade value for archer can archers

0:50:28.320 --> 0:50:31.120
<v Speaker 1>for someone who's better than Malley? I like to but

0:50:31.280 --> 0:50:33.000
<v Speaker 1>those pictures that I just brought up, are they better

0:50:33.040 --> 0:50:35.960
<v Speaker 1>than Tyler Malley. I've been really good as well. I

0:50:36.000 --> 0:50:37.960
<v Speaker 1>think they're all. I think he's in that mix. Is

0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:41.839
<v Speaker 1>that reasonable? Yeah? Okay, the other name on here. That's

0:50:41.840 --> 0:50:43.680
<v Speaker 1>what you can argue based on the numbers, that Tyler

0:50:43.719 --> 0:50:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Mallley is better than I mean, they both pitch in

0:50:47.480 --> 0:50:53.240
<v Speaker 1>not great ballparks. Chris Archer hasn't even faced the Brewers

0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:55.920
<v Speaker 1>yet this year. I don't, and they play in the

0:50:55.960 --> 0:51:00.600
<v Speaker 1>same division. This is not going to get much better.

0:51:01.360 --> 0:51:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I gotta trade this guy. He's facing Louis Cincinnatia. But

0:51:04.200 --> 0:51:06.359
<v Speaker 1>you're you just have to know that you're trading him

0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:09.640
<v Speaker 1>low right now. I understand, But like, there's nothing that

0:51:09.640 --> 0:51:14.359
<v Speaker 1>makes me things gonna turn around at all. Yeah, I mean,

0:51:14.800 --> 0:51:16.439
<v Speaker 1>I have to agree with you. I think this thumb

0:51:16.520 --> 0:51:19.440
<v Speaker 1>issue might be more than they're leading on. I mean,

0:51:19.520 --> 0:51:22.719
<v Speaker 1>I haven't really seen any updates or any pirates Beat

0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:25.680
<v Speaker 1>reporters talking about this being an issue, but I think

0:51:25.680 --> 0:51:27.400
<v Speaker 1>it might and and how can it be, you know,

0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:30.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, your thumb is such a pivotal part of

0:51:30.239 --> 0:51:32.759
<v Speaker 1>of pitching and being able to grip a baseball. How

0:51:32.760 --> 0:51:34.440
<v Speaker 1>can it not be an issue at this point? Greg,

0:51:37.960 --> 0:51:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I I would rather own Tyler mally I mean, at

0:51:40.480 --> 0:51:42.560
<v Speaker 1>least for the short term future. I mean take a

0:51:42.600 --> 0:51:44.719
<v Speaker 1>shot on everything that he's doing right now. Would you

0:51:44.800 --> 0:51:47.920
<v Speaker 1>rather than Michael Panto or Chris Archer. I'm not No,

0:51:47.960 --> 0:51:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that's not going there, not not going that far down. Um,

0:51:55.560 --> 0:51:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Richards not a good picture. I'd rather own. I

0:51:59.400 --> 0:52:01.640
<v Speaker 1>would rather own as a two star week next week

0:52:01.640 --> 0:52:05.440
<v Speaker 1>against San Francisco and San Diego. It's good. I believe

0:52:05.480 --> 0:52:09.799
<v Speaker 1>both are in Marlins Park and the rock Christ Archer

0:52:09.880 --> 0:52:13.040
<v Speaker 1>for that, I don't think I would. I've already started

0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:15.360
<v Speaker 1>looking into like two star pitchers for next week or

0:52:15.400 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 1>projected one. Yeah, I'm getting crushed. Michael Waka not doing that,

0:52:20.640 --> 0:52:23.640
<v Speaker 1>he sucks. The next man up that I was looking

0:52:23.640 --> 0:52:27.759
<v Speaker 1>at was Trevor Richards at home versus San Francisco and

0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:30.279
<v Speaker 1>at San Diego. So it's one at home and one

0:52:30.320 --> 0:52:33.279
<v Speaker 1>on the road. Not really all that scared about those

0:52:33.320 --> 0:52:37.080
<v Speaker 1>two matchups either. He's probably the guy like Jeffrey Rodriguez

0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:39.560
<v Speaker 1>is out there. But one good match up against Chicago

0:52:39.560 --> 0:52:43.480
<v Speaker 1>White Sox. One start against Boston, so I don't love that.

0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:49.279
<v Speaker 1>How about Lance Lynn Greg pitching well Man? No? Really, well,

0:52:49.320 --> 0:52:52.920
<v Speaker 1>actually we got the last three stars seven innings. I

0:52:52.920 --> 0:52:55.680
<v Speaker 1>mean he's gone seven four out of his last five starts,

0:52:55.719 --> 0:52:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Greg get eleven strikeouts. Yesterday, the ear A stands at

0:52:59.800 --> 0:53:02.160
<v Speaker 1>four six seven because he had to start where he

0:53:02.200 --> 0:53:04.000
<v Speaker 1>allowed eight earned runs. He had to start with he

0:53:04.040 --> 0:53:05.719
<v Speaker 1>allowed seven heard runs. He hatt to start with he

0:53:05.719 --> 0:53:09.840
<v Speaker 1>allowed five earned runs. I mean, lance Lynn has it

0:53:09.920 --> 0:53:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Wardo Rodriguez written all over him, Like this is one

0:53:12.360 --> 0:53:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of those guys where you'll throw him out there in

0:53:15.440 --> 0:53:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the toughest matchup and he'll perform like look at three

0:53:19.680 --> 0:53:22.960
<v Speaker 1>start to go at Houston, seven innings, three earned run,

0:53:23.000 --> 0:53:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a trikes. That's really good against a good lineup in Houston.

0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And then he's gonna have these, you know, at home

0:53:32.000 --> 0:53:36.120
<v Speaker 1>against Toronto six innings, five earned runs, five walks. The

0:53:36.200 --> 0:53:38.480
<v Speaker 1>lance Lynn, I mean, he has a lot of it

0:53:38.560 --> 0:53:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Wardo Rodriguez, but he's also a two star pitcher. Next

0:53:41.719 --> 0:53:44.600
<v Speaker 1>week Greg at Seattle, who he just dominated last night,

0:53:45.200 --> 0:53:50.759
<v Speaker 1>and against Kansas City, who he also just dominated. What

0:53:50.800 --> 0:53:53.680
<v Speaker 1>we said in the past is yeah, I mean, the

0:53:53.719 --> 0:53:56.480
<v Speaker 1>more times you see a picture, the more time it

0:53:56.520 --> 0:53:59.680
<v Speaker 1>favors the offense. So I mean, if you like, would

0:53:59.719 --> 0:54:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you to have Trevor Richards in those good matches in

0:54:01.600 --> 0:54:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the two star week grad greg Or lance Lynn at Seattle,

0:54:05.040 --> 0:54:07.359
<v Speaker 1>which is a good park to pitching, and at home

0:54:07.440 --> 0:54:10.680
<v Speaker 1>in Arlington against Kansas City. It's the last Lynn over

0:54:10.760 --> 0:54:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Richards, I think, but neither make you feel no.

0:54:15.160 --> 0:54:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Would you drop Chris Archer for Lancelin right now? But

0:54:18.200 --> 0:54:22.479
<v Speaker 1>I should? I should, Like you're just never gonna feel

0:54:22.480 --> 0:54:24.360
<v Speaker 1>good about putting Lancelin in your lineup. That's what it

0:54:24.360 --> 0:54:26.600
<v Speaker 1>comes to. Never never got what more name for you

0:54:26.600 --> 0:54:31.799
<v Speaker 1>before you move back on? Ronaldo Lopez dropped Chris Arger

0:54:31.880 --> 0:54:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Ronald the lopus. It's also a good one. Ronaldo Lopez

0:54:39.800 --> 0:54:42.279
<v Speaker 1>has been pitching pretty damn good his past couple of starts.

0:54:42.360 --> 0:54:44.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, I say that, Gregor say he's pitching well.

0:54:44.800 --> 0:54:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Still has a five point one four e ar a

0:54:47.120 --> 0:54:52.759
<v Speaker 1>right now, but six of his last seven having quality starts. Frank,

0:54:53.640 --> 0:54:55.880
<v Speaker 1>how is this a race so high? Then? I mean

0:54:55.960 --> 0:54:59.840
<v Speaker 1>he really got yeah, six of his last seven stuff

0:54:59.880 --> 0:55:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and walking fewer batters this last couple of starts. But also,

0:55:03.520 --> 0:55:05.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, four of his last five starts in his

0:55:05.400 --> 0:55:08.080
<v Speaker 1>face has been I mean, I mean go even further.

0:55:08.239 --> 0:55:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Five of his last six starts Cleveland one against Toronto.

0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:16.239
<v Speaker 1>So he's really he's a bottom feeder, right now, that's

0:55:16.239 --> 0:55:19.839
<v Speaker 1>what it comes down to. I wouldn't I wouldn't do that.

0:55:19.880 --> 0:55:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I probably I probably would feel better about Ronaldo Lopez

0:55:22.680 --> 0:55:25.840
<v Speaker 1>in my lineup right now, and I would Chris Archer,

0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:30.120
<v Speaker 1>but he's really just been feeding off some of these

0:55:30.400 --> 0:55:33.960
<v Speaker 1>these bottom dwelling teams in baseball, So I wouldn't go

0:55:34.000 --> 0:55:36.120
<v Speaker 1>that far. I think that's probably cut off. Tyler Mallley

0:55:36.160 --> 0:55:39.520
<v Speaker 1>is probably cut off. Tyler Malley is the cut off

0:55:39.560 --> 0:55:41.560
<v Speaker 1>for us. The question is are you going to do it?

0:55:44.680 --> 0:55:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm considering. I would probably throw some trade offers out

0:55:47.160 --> 0:55:51.799
<v Speaker 1>there first, but it's hardly if anyone. It's hard not

0:55:52.000 --> 0:55:54.279
<v Speaker 1>by the weekend. I probably it's hard to do it

0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for for hitting, for pitching. Straight up, I did it

0:55:57.960 --> 0:56:00.600
<v Speaker 1>for a hitter. I probably have better chance to getting

0:56:00.640 --> 0:56:05.120
<v Speaker 1>somebody because people are always chasing picture. But again, you

0:56:05.160 --> 0:56:08.360
<v Speaker 1>can get one of those pictures who so maybe they're

0:56:08.560 --> 0:56:10.920
<v Speaker 1>overperforming right now and people don't trust it kind of

0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:15.799
<v Speaker 1>see the name value of like a Chris Archer might

0:56:15.880 --> 0:56:17.800
<v Speaker 1>be able to pull it off. I think it obviously

0:56:17.840 --> 0:56:19.759
<v Speaker 1>just depends on the owner that you do with. I

0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:21.279
<v Speaker 1>was like a break. We'll go back into last night's

0:56:21.280 --> 0:56:21.839
<v Speaker 1>baseball next
