WEBVTT - The Cycle: Rounding The Bases (Ep. 1038) 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:08.879 Hello everybody, and welcome back into another episode of the cycle. 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:11.440 I am not Ryan Warmley. I am your host, Mike Mayer, 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.120 and I am joined today by Kelly Kirby, who I 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:16.640 think because you're gonna be on the show next week 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.360 as well, I believe you're gonna be here for three 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:20.360 weeks in a row. Is that right? 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:22.919 I that is correct. I don't know why I don't 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.599 get my own, like, you know, to start picture competition 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:27.680 at this point, but I'll just keep filling in for 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:28.320 you guys. 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.120 That's true. We should just expand the contest for the 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.600 three of us, and even when you're not on the show, 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.400 have you submit a pick so that we can you know, 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.120 we can follow along. We should probably do that, probably 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.360 a little late to do it retroactively, but I'm sure 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.680 Worm will give you the Shane smith starts if you 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.000 want those to start with. 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.440 Yeah, for sure. He was really happy about my my 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.840 Shane Smithy like gift to him. But you know, I 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.080 didn't burn anybody good, so that's fine. Today I'm burning 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:57.640 somebody good. 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:02.400 Yeah, I saw that, but we want to boil that. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:07.119 That's two videos from now. So I have a few 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.280 different segments here at the top for rounding the basis. 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:10.880 So I'm going to jump right into the first one. 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.520 I wanted to do kind of a fun burning question segment. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.200 It felt like a good time a year to do it, 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.160 and I have a handful of questions that I'm going 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:19.959 to you know, toss at you, give a little bit 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.400 of context and we can go back and forth. Does 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.240 that sound good to you? Not that it matters, we're 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:24.920 doing it either way. 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.520 I mean, really, yeah, it doesn't matter, but that sounds wonderful, 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:28.520 great idea my ear. 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:33.560 All right, okay, Burning question number one perfect? What are 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.000 you doing with Spencer Stryder now that he's back and 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.800 things are not going great? Do? I mean you can't 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.600 drop him obviously, like we're not in drop territory, but 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.319 like can you can you keep running him out there? 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.720 He's ras five six'. Eight some of his expected numbers 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.160 are even worse than, that nineteen strikeouts and nineteen. Innings 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.880 but it just he hasn't looked like, himself which is somewhat. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.080 Understandable but also he looks like a early usable pitcher 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:01.720 in fantasy right. 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.720 Now, YEAH i MEAN i think that if it's a shallow, 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.440 LEAGUE i could drop him because my biggest problem with 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.400 him at this point is that is the strikeout rate 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.440 is so low compared to what he usually. Was right 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.760 so in twenty twenty, two twenty twenty, three he's at 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.839 thirty eight, percent thirty six, percent and he is down 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.160 to twenty three percent right. Now And i'm sort of 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.480 that mindset where if he's not striking out that many, 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.760 guys then what are we holding on to him? For 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.440 that's his you, know that's one of the best reasons 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.240 to have. Him and AND i MEAN i WOULD i 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.240 could handle a higher, WHIP i could handle a higher 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.840 anything if that strikeout percentage was. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:44.520 Better and it's just Not, yeah and it's a you, 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.679 know you you mentioned the strikeout, percentages which are a 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.000 lot of people in the industry have you, know moved 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.160 towards as a more accurate indicator of. Strikeouts if you're 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.480 more of the traditional kper, nine it's exactly, nine which 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.320 is still. Good but his career caper nine is over. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.640 Thirteen so it just shows you how far down we 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.519 are from. There you, know Nine for most, pictures you'll 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.800 take that that's really, good but For Spencer strider it 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:13.000 means no. Bueno so what about in like a roto, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.560 league like a standard road, league are you still starting? 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.079 Him you, know let's say in our league where we're 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.280 in the bottom two in the standings and we need, 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:21.800 everything we're so. 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:28.880 Bad, yes, yeah no. Starting, NO i mean unless he, 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.839 starts unless he's got like The rockies in The White 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.520 sox lined up in one, week if there's one iffy. 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.520 GAME i just at this point don't want to run 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.600 him out. There and, right we're not sure what's. Wrong 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.560 we're not sure like if this is just him working 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.200 his way, back we're not sure if this is an 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.200 actual issue like that is going to continue to. Exist 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.760 so if it's a weekly, league not, again it has 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.440 to be two really sweet starts for me to throw him. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.680 Out but, YEAH i mean in twelve fifteen team, leagues, like, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.040 yeah you. Can't you can't drop, him like because He's Spencer. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.920 Schrider so it's kind of that idea that name recognition 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.720 should get you. Something so if there's somebody that you, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.600 want you may be selling as low as you can On, 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.920 strider but if it helps, you like right, now then 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:14.720 you know you might as well throw it out. There 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.000 see if somebody wants, Him. 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.800 Yeah THAT'S i was going to bring that up. Next 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.560 that's kind of the uh you mentioned name. Recognition that's 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.400 kind of how you would be selling. Low you would 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.719 have to hope that you're selling, low but that that 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.920 low is like a little bit higher because his name 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.600 Is Spencer strider and you can get maybe fair value for, 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.520 him or something close to fair. Value you're not going 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.560 to get like Old Spencer strider, value but you can 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.120 get you, know a little bit better than his numbers 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.479 value in. Return so, YEAH i think IF i have, 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.760 him it would pain me to shop, him especially after 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.839 like stashing him for this. SONG i Think i'm still 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.599 running them out there In roto and just like hoping 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.640 for the best because chances ARE i need him IF 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.680 i stashed him AND i use that draft pick on, 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.520 him and So i'm just putting him out there and 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:07.880 closing MY a lesser name Is Addison barger, Legit And 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:09.479 i'll give you a little bit of context there and 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.839 not just toss you that. Question but he's been, really 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.440 really good. Lately he let's see his numbers on the. 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.240 Year his numbers on the year don't look as. Fantastic 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.840 two sixty six, average six home runs and forty games 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.120 two ninety five expected batting, average but of late he's 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.120 been a lot. Better so In may he batted two 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.240 ninety two with four home. Runs you know that was 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.960 after not playing all a ton in the first month 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.159 of the season he batted one eighty five and parts 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.800 of ten. Games but In may played every, day two ninety, 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.200 two four home, runs and already In june he has 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.120 two home runs in the first three. Games AND i 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:48.800 just don't really know what to make of. Him, he's you, 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.520 know LIKE i, said he's not really a name that you, 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.120 know he's a he's not like a highly touted. Prospect 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.240 he's twenty five years. Old we've seen a little bit 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.880 of of him, before he came up a little bit last, 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:04.719 year AND i don't, know, like do you think this 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.440 is like him taking the next step and he's going 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.960 to be like a steady starter and like someone you 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.200 can use in fantasy or is just this just like 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.320 a prolonged hot streak and we won't know who he 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:14.760 is next. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:19.920 YEAR i, MEAN i THINK i was leaning toward prolonged hot. 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.000 Streak but he's also you, know playing third, base so 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:25.919 he might as well write it a little. Bit BUT 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:27.720 i also you. Know SO i looked up a stackcast 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:32.120 page and his expected numbers are are. Good he's pretty 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.480 red all the way. Through BUT i was looking, like, okay, 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.520 like you, know is he striking out at this giant, 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.240 Clip and he's kind of right around the fiftieth percentile 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:44.080 And Chase swift strikeout and walk. Percentage so as long 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.920 as he stays there, where it's not this year trying 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.159 to exchange you, know like home runs for a thirty 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.839 five percent, strikeout, RIGHT i think it's possibly. Sustainable and 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.240 even if he just stays right where he is a 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.480 two sixty six, average he has almost as many home 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.080 runs this year year as he did all of last 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.479 year and like one hundred fewer at bats, like SO 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.120 i would say he's. LEGIT i would SAY i will 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.200 also probably forget about him next. Year so does that make? 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:15.680 Sense, YEAH i think it's legit in the. Moment we 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.760 he has shown some power in the past in the, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.600 minors like not in the in the last couple of. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.680 Years but in twenty twenty two he hit twenty six 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.640 home runs in twenty two games Across DOUBLE a And 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:28.960 TRIPLE a with an average above three. Hundred so that's not, 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:33.440 nothing and then he's just kind of like been fine 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.400 at the minor league, level which seems like what is you, 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:37.920 know if he's going to be a major, leaguer that's 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.680 probably what his destiny is there. Too he's just going 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.320 to be. FINE i could see him being someone we 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.000 like stream on and off our roster for the next 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.640 few years with you, know the occasional hot streak like. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.120 This so let's move on to the next. One and 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.320 this next burning QUESTION i have for, you is this 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.160 what The Junior Camin arrow breakout looks? Like AND i say, 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.160 THIS i like to listen to THE cbs guys know 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.760 not to you, know Tout arrival, podcast BUT i think 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.000 they do a good job AND i like to listen 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.760 to them as. Well you, know there's room for everybody 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:10.480 on my podcast. Feed and something they say sometimes, is you, 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.160 know they're asking if a player is breaking, out and they, 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.200 said if he is breaking, out this is what it 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.680 would look. Like and SO i ask you For Junior 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.520 cameronaro with you, know how he's doing right. Now he's 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.160 don in two fifty eight with fourteen home, runs four stolen, 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:30.200 bases and he's been In may batted two seventy six 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:35.200 with seven home, runs and it just seems, like you, 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.440 KNOW i was a little skeptical coming into the. Year 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:39.640 it seemed like some people were kind of drafting him 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.360 out of a, ceiling WHICH i hate. Doing but so far 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.040 looks pretty. Good and he is someone who you, know 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.560 has some kind of, prospect some prospect. Pedigree he's, younger 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.480 he's still twenty one years. Old he was about to 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.680 turn twenty, two so we'll call him twenty two years. 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.040 Old but hitting in the middle of that lineup, again 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.480 as you mentioned third, base where you, know people really 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.760 need third base. Help and if you drafted Junior, cameronaro 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.800 you're probably feeling pretty good right, now especially with like 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.280 five usable third basemen in, fantasy you're probably pretty happy 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.520 to have. Him so is this what the junior Kamen 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:13.360 aero breakout looks? 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:17.080 LIKE i, MEAN i think so like this this is 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.800 kind of what we, expected, Right like you, said they 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.120 were people were drafting at a, Ceiling but, like is 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.760 this the? Ceiling AND i THINK i think you kind 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.760 of got him actually a little bit lower than his. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.120 Ceiling if he continues on this, Path ALL i know is, 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.280 that like through most Of, may we have our home 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.280 run contest on our, discord and it was LIKE i 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.200 kept asking myself WHY i wasn't Calling Junior cameronaro because 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.960 it just seemed like he homered every single day and 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.280 yet still never called. Him so he is definitely. HOT 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.079 i think it's like you, said everything else comes into 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.079 play their third. Base he's in PRETTY i, mean The 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.600 rays are decent at. Least, Yeah SO i think he'll 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.800 just keep hitting and he's good to have on a. Roster. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.000 YEAH i think you made a good point there that 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.520 we don't know what the ceiling. IS i don't think this, 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.280 is you, know especially as a twenty two year, old 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.400 not twenty. ONE i don't think this is the. CEILING 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.200 i think he, has you, know room to get even. 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.880 Better and so if you're getting this production out of, him, 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:18.760 already enjoy. It don't sell, high just keep writing. Him 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.400 anyone with a pulse at third base is usable right, 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.880 now and he has a very good. Pulse so enjoy 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.720 another third. BASEMENT i didn't intend to do all third 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.800 basement with these burning. QUESTIONS i didn't realize that until 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.720 we started. Talking my next burning question is did glasses 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.800 Fix Max? Muncy because there's this kind of phenomenon right 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.120 now where he got glasses to. FIX i THINK i 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:44.200 believe it was a stigmatism and since that, happened he's 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.040 been really, good AND i think it was about. It 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.200 it's a little over a month, now so let's just 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:51.960 call It. May you, know this is a guy who 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.040 always has good, power but his betting average is you, 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.959 know sometimes around like two hundred if you're. Lucky and 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:00.600 so you can see In march And april bat at 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:05.480 one ninety four with just one home, run and since 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.160 In may he betted two fifty with five home, runs 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.040 and it's very small sampasized In. June but In june 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.720 he's batting three h eight with three more home, runs 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.600 and people are, wondering is this just the New max? 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.280 Monthly like was he just having trouble seeing the ball 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.760 and was just you, know is this a new version 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.360 or do you think this is just kind of a 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.520 Coincidence and it's you, know, again it's like a hot, 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.360 streak and you know it's not we have seen this 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.920 before From Max monsey where he gets really. Hot it's 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.800 a lot of home runs and you, know he's. Fine 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.160 it's kind of where the numbers settle but do you 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:38.840 think this is a New Max monsey or do you 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.719 think this is just Another max monzly like. 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.560 Streak, YEAH i MEAN i looked up his, age so 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.959 he's going to turn thirty five In. August and for 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.720 everyone who's younger than thirty five out, listening at some 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.800 point your eyes will just fall off a cliff and 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.680 you will suddenly not be able to see everything you 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.880 used to be able to. See and for some people 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.880 ON i think thirty five is where that. Happens for, 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.200 me it was, like literally DAY i turned forty, one 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.959 all of a, SUDDEN i just couldn't read anything. Right 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.160 so let's give the glasses some. Credit and maybe that 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.079 definitely helped him to adjust back to like seeing the ball. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:10.480 Better. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.760 Right he's also A Max, moncy SO i don't think 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.480 this is going to suddenly fix the batting. AVERAGE i 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.679 don't think this is gonna suddenly make him not strike 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.440 out as much LIKE i feel, like you, know he 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.720 maybe he'll be the Good Max moncy for, longer or 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.760 like these hot streaks will last a little bit, longer 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.520 but you have got to watch, out BECAUSE i think 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.960 the bad streaks are still just gonna. Come it's just 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.920 a matter of like how infrequently they'll be there now 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:36.480 that he can. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.880 See SO i can actually relate to, this not as 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.600 a you, know WHEN i was thirty, FIVE i didn't get. 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.160 Glasses but WHEN i was in high school playing, BASEBALL 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.000 i was a really good pitcher and a really good 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.680 fielder and like a mediocre, Hitter LIKE i was, fast 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.720 BUT i had like no, power and my batting average was. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.160 Poor AND i always especially as you get into high 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:57.920 school and you start you, know seeing like you, know 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.120 curveballs and. Stuff you're talking to like coaches and other 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:02.839 hitters and they talk about like looking at the, seams 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.160 And i'm, like what are you guys talking. ABOUT i 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:05.800 can't see the. SEAMS i just see like a white. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:10.480 Blur and it turned OUT i needed. Glasses and ONCE, 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.079 i ONCE i played glasses on her were. CONTACTS i was, like, 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.080 OH i can see the seams NOW i could see 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.480 what you guys talking. About before it was just like 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:21.200 this floating white what white blob at. Me it didn't 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.560 really make me much better of a, hitter but it 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.600 was fascinating to see the. Difference SO i whenever someone 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.920 has like a eyesight change like, That i'd always, like 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.160 and it always reminds me of exactly what. Happened and 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:38.760 now on this, show you know that we Consider Ranger 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:44.680 suarez potentially the best picture in baseball for many, reasons 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.319 most of them because he was really good at the 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.959 start of last year and so now he started the 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.200 year on the injured, list he worked his way, back 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.840 and since coming, back he's been. Good and SO i 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.920 ask you this burning, question how back Is Rain. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:04.400 SUAREZ i, MEAN i think he's back to a top 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.800 five pitcher based on this on the, site on the cycles. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.880 Recommendations so, YEAH i, mean he looks. Good The afhillies are. 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.200 Good you, know he's got four wins in the six, 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.280 games AND i know that again we don't chase, wins 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.840 but he puts himself in a position to get, them 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.000 and that's and he's just kind of always put himself 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.520 in a position to get. THEM i feel, Like, so, 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.960 yeah he's he's. Back he's The Ranger swaz. BACK i. 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.680 GUESS i, MEAN i think that some of his numbers 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.000 are going to jump up a little, bit like there's 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.520 no way he's going to end up with two seven two, 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:39.120 Ya but, YEAH i, mean And i'm looking at it 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.440 like third, base maybe a, desert but starting pitching for 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:46.200 me has been a, mess and so If suarez is 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.840 sitting out there or somebody interested in unloading, HIM i 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:50.440 would be interested in having him at this. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.680 Point, YEAH i, mean we joke about him being the 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.240 best picture in, Baseball Like worm AND i talked about 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.160 this a few weeks. AGO i don't even remember why 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:01.080 we say that. ANYMORE i think it was like at 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:02.960 one point in the beginning of twenty twenty, four he 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.920 was like the only person with a complete game shutout or. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.160 Something it was something like That worm thought he threw 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:09.600 a perfect. GAME i was, like get out of. Here 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.360 he didn't after a perfect. Game it was just a. 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:15.520 Shutout but he's just so there's been like good and 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:16.360 so we consider him the. 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:16.640 Best you. 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.000 Know it's kind of just a running joke that we 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.520 like to bring up on the. Show but, YEAH i 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.320 agree with what you. SAID i am in a bunch 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.760 of leagues WHERE i got up to slow starts with, 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.680 hitting AND i had a bunch of pitching, surplus and 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.520 SO i traded my pitching to get more, hitting and like, 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.560 that hitting also hasn't really worked, out and so now 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:39.920 they just bolt stink so When worm checked in on 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.960 our leagues a few weeks, AGO i you, KNOW i 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.160 THINK i said a couple, Leaks i'm doing really poorly 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:45.880 in the Couple i'm in the, middle and the Couple 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.440 i'm doing really. Well now it's like a complete. Split 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.000 i'm either like really bad or like first or second 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:55.560 place in the. League my crowning jewel right now is 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.800 THAT i joined one Of worm's leagues and it was 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.680 it's like a keeper dynasty, hybrid AND i took over 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:05.320 the worst Orphan i've ever, seen and to the point 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.360 where even WHEN i, drafted they were, like, oh that 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:08.760 was a really good. Draft like you don't have a 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.880 chance at making the playoffs because of what you, inherited 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.800 but like that was a good, start And i'm doing 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.920 really well in that, league and So i'm very happy about. 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:18.520 THAT i don't know how if we'll be able to 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.560 keep it.
