Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back into another episode of the cycle.
Speaker 1: I am not Ryan Warmley. I am your host, Mike Mayer,
Speaker 1: and I am joined today by Kelly Kirby, who I
Speaker 1: think because you're gonna be on the show next week
Speaker 1: as well, I believe you're gonna be here for three
Speaker 1: weeks in a row. Is that right?
Speaker 2: I that is correct. I don't know why I don't
Speaker 2: get my own, like, you know, to start picture competition
Speaker 2: at this point, but I'll just keep filling in for
Speaker 2: you guys.
Speaker 1: That's true. We should just expand the contest for the
Speaker 1: three of us, and even when you're not on the show,
Speaker 1: have you submit a pick so that we can you know,
Speaker 1: we can follow along. We should probably do that, probably
Speaker 1: a little late to do it retroactively, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: Worm will give you the Shane smith starts if you
Speaker 1: want those to start with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. He was really happy about my my
Speaker 2: Shane Smithy like gift to him. But you know, I
Speaker 2: didn't burn anybody good, so that's fine. Today I'm burning
Speaker 2: somebody good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that, but we want to boil that.
Speaker 1: That's two videos from now. So I have a few
Speaker 1: different segments here at the top for rounding the basis.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to jump right into the first one.
Speaker 1: I wanted to do kind of a fun burning question segment.
Speaker 1: It felt like a good time a year to do it,
Speaker 1: and I have a handful of questions that I'm going
Speaker 1: to you know, toss at you, give a little bit
Speaker 1: of context and we can go back and forth. Does
Speaker 1: that sound good to you? Not that it matters, we're
Speaker 1: doing it either way.
Speaker 2: I mean, really, yeah, it doesn't matter, but that sounds wonderful,
Speaker 2: great idea my ear.
Speaker 1: All right, okay, Burning question number one perfect? What are
Speaker 1: you doing with Spencer Stryder now that he's back and
Speaker 1: things are not going great? Do? I mean you can't
Speaker 1: drop him obviously, like we're not in drop territory, but
Speaker 1: like can you can you keep running him out there?
Speaker 1: He's ras five six'. Eight some of his expected numbers
Speaker 1: are even worse than, that nineteen strikeouts and nineteen. Innings
Speaker 1: but it just he hasn't looked like, himself which is somewhat.
Speaker 1: Understandable but also he looks like a early usable pitcher
Speaker 1: in fantasy right.
Speaker 2: Now, YEAH i MEAN i think that if it's a shallow,
Speaker 2: LEAGUE i could drop him because my biggest problem with
Speaker 2: him at this point is that is the strikeout rate
Speaker 2: is so low compared to what he usually. Was right
Speaker 2: so in twenty twenty, two twenty twenty, three he's at
Speaker 2: thirty eight, percent thirty six, percent and he is down
Speaker 2: to twenty three percent right. Now And i'm sort of
Speaker 2: that mindset where if he's not striking out that many,
Speaker 2: guys then what are we holding on to him? For
Speaker 2: that's his you, know that's one of the best reasons
Speaker 2: to have. Him and AND i MEAN i WOULD i
Speaker 2: could handle a higher, WHIP i could handle a higher
Speaker 2: anything if that strikeout percentage was.
Speaker 1: Better and it's just Not, yeah and it's a you,
Speaker 1: know you you mentioned the strikeout, percentages which are a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the industry have you, know moved
Speaker 1: towards as a more accurate indicator of. Strikeouts if you're
Speaker 1: more of the traditional kper, nine it's exactly, nine which
Speaker 1: is still. Good but his career caper nine is over.
Speaker 1: Thirteen so it just shows you how far down we
Speaker 1: are from. There you, know Nine for most, pictures you'll
Speaker 1: take that that's really, good but For Spencer strider it
Speaker 1: means no. Bueno so what about in like a roto,
Speaker 1: league like a standard road, league are you still starting?
Speaker 1: Him you, know let's say in our league where we're
Speaker 1: in the bottom two in the standings and we need,
Speaker 1: everything we're so.
Speaker 2: Bad, yes, yeah no. Starting, NO i mean unless he,
Speaker 2: starts unless he's got like The rockies in The White
Speaker 2: sox lined up in one, week if there's one iffy.
Speaker 2: GAME i just at this point don't want to run
Speaker 2: him out. There and, right we're not sure what's. Wrong
Speaker 2: we're not sure like if this is just him working
Speaker 2: his way, back we're not sure if this is an
Speaker 2: actual issue like that is going to continue to. Exist
Speaker 2: so if it's a weekly, league not, again it has
Speaker 2: to be two really sweet starts for me to throw him.
Speaker 2: Out but, YEAH i mean in twelve fifteen team, leagues, like,
Speaker 2: yeah you. Can't you can't drop, him like because He's Spencer.
Speaker 2: Schrider so it's kind of that idea that name recognition
Speaker 2: should get you. Something so if there's somebody that you,
Speaker 2: want you may be selling as low as you can On,
Speaker 2: strider but if it helps, you like right, now then
Speaker 2: you know you might as well throw it out. There
Speaker 2: see if somebody wants, Him.
Speaker 1: Yeah THAT'S i was going to bring that up. Next
Speaker 1: that's kind of the uh you mentioned name. Recognition that's
Speaker 1: kind of how you would be selling. Low you would
Speaker 1: have to hope that you're selling, low but that that
Speaker 1: low is like a little bit higher because his name
Speaker 1: Is Spencer strider and you can get maybe fair value for,
Speaker 1: him or something close to fair. Value you're not going
Speaker 1: to get like Old Spencer strider, value but you can
Speaker 1: get you, know a little bit better than his numbers
Speaker 1: value in. Return so, YEAH i think IF i have,
Speaker 1: him it would pain me to shop, him especially after
Speaker 1: like stashing him for this. SONG i Think i'm still
Speaker 1: running them out there In roto and just like hoping
Speaker 1: for the best because chances ARE i need him IF
Speaker 1: i stashed him AND i use that draft pick on,
Speaker 1: him and So i'm just putting him out there and
Speaker 1: closing MY a lesser name Is Addison barger, Legit And
Speaker 1: i'll give you a little bit of context there and
Speaker 1: not just toss you that. Question but he's been, really
Speaker 1: really good. Lately he let's see his numbers on the.
Speaker 1: Year his numbers on the year don't look as. Fantastic
Speaker 1: two sixty six, average six home runs and forty games
Speaker 1: two ninety five expected batting, average but of late he's
Speaker 1: been a lot. Better so In may he batted two
Speaker 1: ninety two with four home. Runs you know that was
Speaker 1: after not playing all a ton in the first month
Speaker 1: of the season he batted one eighty five and parts
Speaker 1: of ten. Games but In may played every, day two ninety,
Speaker 1: two four home, runs and already In june he has
Speaker 1: two home runs in the first three. Games AND i
Speaker 1: just don't really know what to make of. Him, he's you,
Speaker 1: know LIKE i, said he's not really a name that you,
Speaker 1: know he's a he's not like a highly touted. Prospect
Speaker 1: he's twenty five years. Old we've seen a little bit
Speaker 1: of of him, before he came up a little bit last,
Speaker 1: year AND i don't, know, like do you think this
Speaker 1: is like him taking the next step and he's going
Speaker 1: to be like a steady starter and like someone you
Speaker 1: can use in fantasy or is just this just like
Speaker 1: a prolonged hot streak and we won't know who he
Speaker 1: is next.
Speaker 2: YEAR i, MEAN i THINK i was leaning toward prolonged hot.
Speaker 2: Streak but he's also you, know playing third, base so
Speaker 2: he might as well write it a little. Bit BUT
Speaker 2: i also you. Know SO i looked up a stackcast
Speaker 2: page and his expected numbers are are. Good he's pretty
Speaker 2: red all the way. Through BUT i was looking, like, okay,
Speaker 2: like you, know is he striking out at this giant,
Speaker 2: Clip and he's kind of right around the fiftieth percentile
Speaker 2: And Chase swift strikeout and walk. Percentage so as long
Speaker 2: as he stays there, where it's not this year trying
Speaker 2: to exchange you, know like home runs for a thirty
Speaker 2: five percent, strikeout, RIGHT i think it's possibly. Sustainable and
Speaker 2: even if he just stays right where he is a
Speaker 2: two sixty six, average he has almost as many home
Speaker 2: runs this year year as he did all of last
Speaker 2: year and like one hundred fewer at bats, like SO
Speaker 2: i would say he's. LEGIT i would SAY i will
Speaker 2: also probably forget about him next. Year so does that make?
Speaker 1: Sense, YEAH i think it's legit in the. Moment we
Speaker 1: he has shown some power in the past in the,
Speaker 1: minors like not in the in the last couple of.
Speaker 1: Years but in twenty twenty two he hit twenty six
Speaker 1: home runs in twenty two games Across DOUBLE a And
Speaker 1: TRIPLE a with an average above three. Hundred so that's not,
Speaker 1: nothing and then he's just kind of like been fine
Speaker 1: at the minor league, level which seems like what is you,
Speaker 1: know if he's going to be a major, leaguer that's
Speaker 1: probably what his destiny is there. Too he's just going
Speaker 1: to be. FINE i could see him being someone we
Speaker 1: like stream on and off our roster for the next
Speaker 1: few years with you, know the occasional hot streak like.
Speaker 1: This so let's move on to the next. One and
Speaker 1: this next burning QUESTION i have for, you is this
Speaker 1: what The Junior Camin arrow breakout looks? Like AND i say,
Speaker 1: THIS i like to listen to THE cbs guys know
Speaker 1: not to you, know Tout arrival, podcast BUT i think
Speaker 1: they do a good job AND i like to listen
Speaker 1: to them as. Well you, know there's room for everybody
Speaker 1: on my podcast. Feed and something they say sometimes, is you,
Speaker 1: know they're asking if a player is breaking, out and they,
Speaker 1: said if he is breaking, out this is what it
Speaker 1: would look. Like and SO i ask you For Junior
Speaker 1: cameronaro with you, know how he's doing right. Now he's
Speaker 1: don in two fifty eight with fourteen home, runs four stolen,
Speaker 1: bases and he's been In may batted two seventy six
Speaker 1: with seven home, runs and it just seems, like you,
Speaker 1: KNOW i was a little skeptical coming into the. Year
Speaker 1: it seemed like some people were kind of drafting him
Speaker 1: out of a, ceiling WHICH i hate. Doing but so far
Speaker 1: looks pretty. Good and he is someone who you, know
Speaker 1: has some kind of, prospect some prospect. Pedigree he's, younger
Speaker 1: he's still twenty one years. Old he was about to
Speaker 1: turn twenty, two so we'll call him twenty two years.
Speaker 1: Old but hitting in the middle of that lineup, again
Speaker 1: as you mentioned third, base where you, know people really
Speaker 1: need third base. Help and if you drafted Junior, cameronaro
Speaker 1: you're probably feeling pretty good right, now especially with like
Speaker 1: five usable third basemen in, fantasy you're probably pretty happy
Speaker 1: to have. Him so is this what the junior Kamen
Speaker 1: aero breakout looks?
Speaker 2: LIKE i, MEAN i think so like this this is
Speaker 2: kind of what we, expected, Right like you, said they
Speaker 2: were people were drafting at a, Ceiling but, like is
Speaker 2: this the? Ceiling AND i THINK i think you kind
Speaker 2: of got him actually a little bit lower than his.
Speaker 2: Ceiling if he continues on this, Path ALL i know is,
Speaker 2: that like through most Of, may we have our home
Speaker 2: run contest on our, discord and it was LIKE i
Speaker 2: kept asking myself WHY i wasn't Calling Junior cameronaro because
Speaker 2: it just seemed like he homered every single day and
Speaker 2: yet still never called. Him so he is definitely. HOT
Speaker 2: i think it's like you, said everything else comes into
Speaker 2: play their third. Base he's in PRETTY i, mean The
Speaker 2: rays are decent at. Least, Yeah SO i think he'll
Speaker 2: just keep hitting and he's good to have on a. Roster.
Speaker 1: YEAH i think you made a good point there that
Speaker 1: we don't know what the ceiling. IS i don't think this,
Speaker 1: is you, know especially as a twenty two year, old
Speaker 1: not twenty. ONE i don't think this is the. CEILING
Speaker 1: i think he, has you, know room to get even.
Speaker 1: Better and so if you're getting this production out of, him,
Speaker 1: already enjoy. It don't sell, high just keep writing. Him
Speaker 1: anyone with a pulse at third base is usable right,
Speaker 1: now and he has a very good. Pulse so enjoy
Speaker 1: another third. BASEMENT i didn't intend to do all third
Speaker 1: basement with these burning. QUESTIONS i didn't realize that until
Speaker 1: we started. Talking my next burning question is did glasses
Speaker 1: Fix Max? Muncy because there's this kind of phenomenon right
Speaker 1: now where he got glasses to. FIX i THINK i
Speaker 1: believe it was a stigmatism and since that, happened he's
Speaker 1: been really, good AND i think it was about. It
Speaker 1: it's a little over a month, now so let's just
Speaker 1: call It. May you, know this is a guy who
Speaker 1: always has good, power but his betting average is you,
Speaker 1: know sometimes around like two hundred if you're. Lucky and
Speaker 1: so you can see In march And april bat at
Speaker 1: one ninety four with just one home, run and since
Speaker 1: In may he betted two fifty with five home, runs
Speaker 1: and it's very small sampasized In. June but In june
Speaker 1: he's batting three h eight with three more home, runs
Speaker 1: and people are, wondering is this just the New max?
Speaker 1: Monthly like was he just having trouble seeing the ball
Speaker 1: and was just you, know is this a new version
Speaker 1: or do you think this is just kind of a
Speaker 1: Coincidence and it's you, know, again it's like a hot,
Speaker 1: streak and you know it's not we have seen this
Speaker 1: before From Max monsey where he gets really. Hot it's
Speaker 1: a lot of home runs and you, know he's. Fine
Speaker 1: it's kind of where the numbers settle but do you
Speaker 1: think this is a New Max monsey or do you
Speaker 1: think this is just Another max monzly like.
Speaker 2: Streak, YEAH i MEAN i looked up his, age so
Speaker 2: he's going to turn thirty five In. August and for
Speaker 2: everyone who's younger than thirty five out, listening at some
Speaker 2: point your eyes will just fall off a cliff and
Speaker 2: you will suddenly not be able to see everything you
Speaker 2: used to be able to. See and for some people
Speaker 2: ON i think thirty five is where that. Happens for,
Speaker 2: me it was, like literally DAY i turned forty, one
Speaker 2: all of a, SUDDEN i just couldn't read anything. Right
Speaker 2: so let's give the glasses some. Credit and maybe that
Speaker 2: definitely helped him to adjust back to like seeing the ball.
Speaker 1: Better.
Speaker 2: Right he's also A Max, moncy SO i don't think
Speaker 2: this is going to suddenly fix the batting. AVERAGE i
Speaker 2: don't think this is gonna suddenly make him not strike
Speaker 2: out as much LIKE i feel, like you, know he
Speaker 2: maybe he'll be the Good Max moncy for, longer or
Speaker 2: like these hot streaks will last a little bit, longer
Speaker 2: but you have got to watch, out BECAUSE i think
Speaker 2: the bad streaks are still just gonna. Come it's just
Speaker 2: a matter of like how infrequently they'll be there now
Speaker 2: that he can.
Speaker 1: See SO i can actually relate to, this not as
Speaker 1: a you, know WHEN i was thirty, FIVE i didn't get.
Speaker 1: Glasses but WHEN i was in high school playing, BASEBALL
Speaker 1: i was a really good pitcher and a really good
Speaker 1: fielder and like a mediocre, Hitter LIKE i was, fast
Speaker 1: BUT i had like no, power and my batting average was.
Speaker 1: Poor AND i always especially as you get into high
Speaker 1: school and you start you, know seeing like you, know
Speaker 1: curveballs and. Stuff you're talking to like coaches and other
Speaker 1: hitters and they talk about like looking at the, seams
Speaker 1: And i'm, like what are you guys talking. ABOUT i
Speaker 1: can't see the. SEAMS i just see like a white.
Speaker 1: Blur and it turned OUT i needed. Glasses and ONCE,
Speaker 1: i ONCE i played glasses on her were. CONTACTS i was, like,
Speaker 1: OH i can see the seams NOW i could see
Speaker 1: what you guys talking. About before it was just like
Speaker 1: this floating white what white blob at. Me it didn't
Speaker 1: really make me much better of a, hitter but it
Speaker 1: was fascinating to see the. Difference SO i whenever someone
Speaker 1: has like a eyesight change like, That i'd always, like
Speaker 1: and it always reminds me of exactly what. Happened and
Speaker 1: now on this, show you know that we Consider Ranger
Speaker 1: suarez potentially the best picture in baseball for many, reasons
Speaker 1: most of them because he was really good at the
Speaker 1: start of last year and so now he started the
Speaker 1: year on the injured, list he worked his way, back
Speaker 1: and since coming, back he's been. Good and SO i
Speaker 1: ask you this burning, question how back Is Rain.
Speaker 2: SUAREZ i, MEAN i think he's back to a top
Speaker 2: five pitcher based on this on the, site on the cycles.
Speaker 2: Recommendations so, YEAH i, mean he looks. Good The afhillies are.
Speaker 2: Good you, know he's got four wins in the six,
Speaker 2: games AND i know that again we don't chase, wins
Speaker 2: but he puts himself in a position to get, them
Speaker 2: and that's and he's just kind of always put himself
Speaker 2: in a position to get. THEM i feel, Like, so,
Speaker 2: yeah he's he's. Back he's The Ranger swaz. BACK i.
Speaker 2: GUESS i, MEAN i think that some of his numbers
Speaker 2: are going to jump up a little, bit like there's
Speaker 2: no way he's going to end up with two seven two,
Speaker 2: Ya but, YEAH i, mean And i'm looking at it
Speaker 2: like third, base maybe a, desert but starting pitching for
Speaker 2: me has been a, mess and so If suarez is
Speaker 2: sitting out there or somebody interested in unloading, HIM i
Speaker 2: would be interested in having him at this.
Speaker 1: Point, YEAH i, mean we joke about him being the
Speaker 1: best picture in, Baseball Like worm AND i talked about
Speaker 1: this a few weeks. AGO i don't even remember why
Speaker 1: we say that. ANYMORE i think it was like at
Speaker 1: one point in the beginning of twenty twenty, four he
Speaker 1: was like the only person with a complete game shutout or.
Speaker 1: Something it was something like That worm thought he threw
Speaker 1: a perfect. GAME i was, like get out of. Here
Speaker 1: he didn't after a perfect. Game it was just a.
Speaker 1: Shutout but he's just so there's been like good and
Speaker 1: so we consider him the.
Speaker 2: Best you.
Speaker 1: Know it's kind of just a running joke that we
Speaker 1: like to bring up on the. Show but, YEAH i
Speaker 1: agree with what you. SAID i am in a bunch
Speaker 1: of leagues WHERE i got up to slow starts with,
Speaker 1: hitting AND i had a bunch of pitching, surplus and
Speaker 1: SO i traded my pitching to get more, hitting and like,
Speaker 1: that hitting also hasn't really worked, out and so now
Speaker 1: they just bolt stink so When worm checked in on
Speaker 1: our leagues a few weeks, AGO i you, KNOW i
Speaker 1: THINK i said a couple, Leaks i'm doing really poorly
Speaker 1: in the Couple i'm in the, middle and the Couple
Speaker 1: i'm doing really. Well now it's like a complete. Split
Speaker 1: i'm either like really bad or like first or second
Speaker 1: place in the. League my crowning jewel right now is
Speaker 1: THAT i joined one Of worm's leagues and it was
Speaker 1: it's like a keeper dynasty, hybrid AND i took over
Speaker 1: the worst Orphan i've ever, seen and to the point
Speaker 1: where even WHEN i, drafted they were, like, oh that
Speaker 1: was a really good. Draft like you don't have a
Speaker 1: chance at making the playoffs because of what you, inherited
Speaker 1: but like that was a good, start And i'm doing
Speaker 1: really well in that, league and So i'm very happy about.
Speaker 1: THAT i don't know how if we'll be able to
Speaker 1: keep it. Going BUT i don't really know WHY i
Speaker 1: got on a tangent about. That but you, Know Ranger
Speaker 1: swarz just gets me pumped. Up so he does.
Speaker 2: Seem to get you really excited e free time we've
Speaker 2: talked about, him so you, know good for.
Speaker 1: You there's just certain players that do it for, Me Ryan,
Speaker 1: Mountcastle Ranger, suarez Uh Ty France Ty.
Speaker 2: France, yeap.

Speaker 2: point ninety five k, percentage you, know with this terrible
Speaker 2: ra and, whip like he's four point four four one
Speaker 2: point four, right but he's striking out a lot of
Speaker 2: people THAT i could get. Behind so in terms of like,
Speaker 2: BACK i mean SURE i was never excited about him,
Speaker 2: before And i'm about as excited about him, now but
Speaker 2: like once again starting, Pitching So i'll take the strikeout
Speaker 2: rate at this.
Speaker 1: POINT i feel LIKE i rostered him In dynasty for
Speaker 1: years and just like suffered through all the injuries and
Speaker 1: just like have him had him like taking up an
Speaker 1: injured reserve slot for so LONG i THINK I i think
Speaker 1: maybe like this, YEAR i finally dropped, him and like
Speaker 1: now of course he's like back and like and he
Speaker 1: doesn't look but he looks like he's like doing. Things
Speaker 1: LIKE i thought it might be a train wreck when
Speaker 1: he came, back but he's kind of reinvented. Himself he's
Speaker 1: like throwing that curveball and thirty three strikeouts of twenty
Speaker 1: four and third and so already better THAN i. Expected
Speaker 1: AND i think someone you can pick up in you,
Speaker 1: know twelve team roto and, deeper probably not any shower than.
Speaker 1: That are you buying or? Selling and this is a
Speaker 1: good one for you as A cubs fan and as
Speaker 1: someone who was in on this player coming into the.
Speaker 1: Season are you buying or selling The Matt shaw? Reboot?
Speaker 2: Yeah last week on the, SHOW i talked about like
Speaker 2: things That i'd, learned, right and one of the THINGS
Speaker 2: i said was that you want a rookie in his
Speaker 2: second stint in the. Majors AND i Think mattshaw is
Speaker 2: like the example of, that where whether or not HE
Speaker 2: i think that he will provide some fantasy value for
Speaker 2: the rest of the. Year So i'm buying it And
Speaker 2: i'm also just buying. That AS i said before the,
Speaker 2: season The cubs have no one. ELSE i, mean they
Speaker 2: might as well give him as long as a run
Speaker 2: as he, wants because Running Justin turner out there is
Speaker 2: not going to do anybody any, good so including The.
Speaker 2: Cubs SO i feel like the second time, up he's
Speaker 2: gonna he's gonna settle into at least being a serviceable fantasy.
Speaker 1: OPTION i would love for him to not bat ninth.
Speaker 1: ANYMORE i ACTUALLY i forget WHAT i traded for. Him
Speaker 1: it was it was a bigger, trade BUT i acquired
Speaker 1: him in a league WHERE i needed a third baseman
Speaker 1: with a warm body BECAUSE i Lost Alec, bregman AND
Speaker 1: i need a stolen basis and he's someone who can.
Speaker 1: Run In, may he bat at three fifty, nine no home,
Speaker 1: runs but three fifty nine and five stolen. BASES i
Speaker 1: think that brings him up to what does he have
Speaker 1: in the year? Seven, Now, no he just dos. Five
Speaker 1: so he has five since coming, back, though but all In,
Speaker 1: may AND i think only in eleven. Games and so
Speaker 1: if he can give me like a middle of the
Speaker 1: road average steal some, BASES i don't know how much
Speaker 1: power we're going to get but maybe it's do you,
Speaker 1: know if he plays the rest of the, Year i'll
Speaker 1: take ten home, runs two fifty, average, yep twenty stolen
Speaker 1: bases at third. BASE i could use that for, sure for,
Speaker 1: sure buy or Cell jack cagleone is a league.
Speaker 2: Winner, Yeah i'll actually go with. IT i DON'T i don't.
Speaker 2: Know WHAT i know IS i got really mad during
Speaker 2: an auction in one of my leagues and he came,
Speaker 2: up AND i wasn't really like super familiar with, him
Speaker 2: BUT i. Was we it's a thing where if you
Speaker 2: you can draft rookies and they cost you nothing for
Speaker 2: like a certain number of. Years AND i KNOW i
Speaker 2: had gotten outbid but on someone, else like it might
Speaker 2: have Been Roman, anthony like an Absurd it was. Absurd
Speaker 2: SO i was, Like i'm getting this guy no matter.
Speaker 2: What so SO i just have. Him, so, YEAH i
Speaker 2: would like him to be a league. Winner that would
Speaker 2: be really helpful for. Me but if HE i just
Speaker 2: think that he is The he's the answer for a
Speaker 2: lot of power. SITUATIONS i just really want him to
Speaker 2: be able to adjust to the. Hitting and even his
Speaker 2: first game going over, five but, man he hit the
Speaker 2: ball like that thing was, jumping So i'm, like, YEAH
Speaker 2: i think he could bring you home a.
Speaker 1: Title it was over five but no, strikeouts and it
Speaker 1: was like three or four really hard hit balls to
Speaker 1: just like unfortunately right at, people or you, know he got.
Speaker 1: Robbed it's funny looking at his suspected. Stats he's only
Speaker 1: played one, game so he's zero for five with a
Speaker 1: zero batting average and an expected batting average of two eighty.
Speaker 1: Two so if you want to look for a really
Speaker 1: large gap in average to expect that average zero to
Speaker 1: two eighty, two it was about as big as you're gonna.
Speaker 1: Say we've talked about a bunch on the. Show these
Speaker 1: young hitters come, up and it's not like it used
Speaker 1: to be where hitters, came you, know came up and
Speaker 1: kind of hit the ground running most of the, time
Speaker 1: or at least more often than. Not now it's extremely
Speaker 1: common to come up and. Struggle pitching is just so,
Speaker 1: hard so far ahead of hitting right, now and it
Speaker 1: seems like the gap Between TRIPLE a pitching and Maj
Speaker 1: ley pitching is, enormous and so even the best prospects
Speaker 1: just have to adjust and it takes. Time HE i
Speaker 1: don't want to say he's the, exception but he does
Speaker 1: seem like if anyone was going to come up and
Speaker 1: hit right, away it seems like he might be the
Speaker 1: one just with that, power because he doesn't even like
Speaker 1: in the miners he was hitting over three hundred with
Speaker 1: with all that, power he doesn't even need to do.
Speaker 1: That he can hit two fifty to sixty and they
Speaker 1: have that power stroke and be incredibly. Valuable So i'm.
Speaker 2: Also OF i also, think, WELL i was just gonna,
Speaker 2: SAY i also think that like Unlike Roman, anthony, right,
Speaker 2: like he just skyrocketed through the, miners and so he
Speaker 2: hasn't had all this time to get all this hype
Speaker 2: to like come. Up you, know it's, like, yeah we're
Speaker 2: all interested in, him but it hasn't been years upon
Speaker 2: years of, oh they have this guy in the pipeline
Speaker 2: and some day he'll make it to the. Majors AND i,
Speaker 2: MEAN i GUESS i don't know If Roman anthony will
Speaker 2: ever get, there but not if the whatever The Red
Speaker 2: sox are. Doing but, yeah and SO i feel like
Speaker 2: there's just less pressure on. Him also being In Kansas,
Speaker 2: city it's just less, pressure and so that sometimes makes
Speaker 2: it EASIER i think for players to adjust quickly.
Speaker 1: YEAH i, mean he was drafted last year and he's
Speaker 1: already in the in the. Matrix you, know he he you,
Speaker 1: know he had his little taste last year of playing
Speaker 1: in HIGH, a and then you know this year he
Speaker 1: just flew Through DOUBLE, A TRIPLE a and they were,
Speaker 1: like all, right it's. Time but, YEAH i think if
Speaker 1: anyone's going to hit the ground, running it's it's probably.
Speaker 1: Him AND i was going to say, Before i'm also
Speaker 1: of the belief that find, out you, know, like spend
Speaker 1: the fab and find, out because the worst that happens
Speaker 1: is you're wrong and you lost some fab and you
Speaker 1: have to drop him or you, know you trade. Him
Speaker 1: but there are every now and then these players who
Speaker 1: come up and they are league, winners and it kind
Speaker 1: of looks Like Piker armstrong might be one of those league.
Speaker 1: Winners despite all of my And i'm not, alone but
Speaker 1: all the people saying that we can sell high on Peak, Armstrong,
Speaker 1: no apparently, not because apparently he's just really good buyer.
Speaker 1: Sell Mackenzie gore is a bona fide. Ace, now.
Speaker 2: Oh what is a bonafide? Ace, Yeah i'll take. IT
Speaker 2: i have him in a FEW i drafted him a
Speaker 2: lot of. Leagues, actually and just BECAUSE i loved the strikeout.
Speaker 2: RAID i thought HE i liked all of his, numbers
Speaker 2: like the underlying numbers looked. Good SO i don't know
Speaker 2: necessarily how we quantify a bonafide, ace But i'm not
Speaker 2: sure like how His i'm not sure how his numbers don't.
Speaker 2: Qualify so, Yeah i'll take.
Speaker 1: Him do you know where he is on the list
Speaker 1: of strikeout leaders this?
Speaker 2: SEASON i is he near the? TOP i can't remember.
Speaker 2: ONE i just saw, it BUT i don't remember him number.
Speaker 1: One, yeah he has one o eight And Gara, crochet
Speaker 1: who is famously not good according To, welsh has one oh,
Speaker 1: one the only two pictures with over one, hundred Although
Speaker 1: schoogle has ninety.
Speaker 2: NINE i mean we're talking k, Percentage like he his
Speaker 2: strikeout rate is thirty.
Speaker 1: FIVE i was gonna to bring that. Up it's more
Speaker 1: than the third of the batters he's facing he's, striking
Speaker 1: which is.
Speaker 2: Insane, yeah, yeah, no love. Him.
Speaker 1: YEAH i know friend at the, Show Brandon, tuma it
Speaker 1: was long, ago a big McKenzie gore. Fan i'm in
Speaker 1: a bunch Of dynasty leagues with, him and you, know
Speaker 1: we've been talking about Mackenzie gore for, years AND i
Speaker 1: know he's probably very excited about. This McKenzie, gore you,
Speaker 1: know because he saw this four years ago and it's
Speaker 1: kind of we kind of haven't seen it materialize Until
Speaker 1: AND i, mean he was fine last, year quietly good last,
Speaker 1: year but now this is another level and he's still
Speaker 1: it feels like he's been around for a long a.
Speaker 1: While we have almost like post prospect fatigue with. Him
Speaker 1: but he's still twenty six seon his birthday Is, yeah
Speaker 1: he's still twenty. Six he's still in the first half
Speaker 1: of twenty six and, YEAH i mean one hundred eight
Speaker 1: strikeouts and seventy five and a third innings thirty five
Speaker 1: point four percent strikeout rate is.
Speaker 2: Bonkers his his walk percentage has also dropped every year
Speaker 2: he's been in the, majors which is another sign of
Speaker 2: bona fide acery in my.
Speaker 1: Head, yeah and the whip in. GENERAL i was expecting
Speaker 1: to like be, like all, right we're getting the, strikeouts
Speaker 1: what's the whip back because it's been in like one point.
Speaker 1: FOUR i was, like all, right maybe it's like one point,
Speaker 1: two one point, three it's one point one. Four still really?
Speaker 1: Good have you moved him in your rankings, yet have
Speaker 1: you updated your rankings not to put you on the.
Speaker 1: SPOT i.
Speaker 2: CANNOT i did update, them BUT i can't remember WHAT
Speaker 2: i did with.
Speaker 1: HIM i put him top twenty five if, Five, OKAY
Speaker 1: i put him right before the. Show he's at twenty.
Speaker 1: Three And i'm really struggling with WHERE i Put Spencer
Speaker 1: strider on that list BECAUSE i had him very high
Speaker 1: AND i just keep dropping, him And i'm, like DO
Speaker 1: i Drop Spencer strider Behind Mackenzie gore because it feels
Speaker 1: LIKE i probably have.
Speaker 2: TO i THINK i Dropped strider a lot the other,
Speaker 2: day so that was kind of my big pitching.
Speaker 1: Move, yeah that's a tough, one all. Right this one
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily, fantasy but it could be fantasy. Adjacent buy or?
Speaker 1: Sell The tigers are AN al penant, Contender, YES.
Speaker 2: I will absolutely buy. THAT i think that they have
Speaker 2: THE i think they kind of have an all around good.
Speaker 2: TEAM i think they play in a division that is a,
Speaker 2: mess so they and and, REALLY i mean at this,
Speaker 2: point like THE al just kind of seems messy all
Speaker 2: the way around to. Me everybody's got these flaws and
Speaker 2: whenever you can look at like basically all of the
Speaker 2: all the division leaders and point out immediately a glaring.
Speaker 2: Flaw then, yeah it's. Anybody so, Yeah i'll take The.
Speaker 2: Tigers i'll be. Fine what are their odds to? Win
Speaker 2: have you?
Speaker 1: SEEN i have not looked at, them BUT i just
Speaker 1: know that they have the best record in THE. Al
Speaker 1: they have the best picture in THE. Al, yes and
Speaker 1: if you look at their lineup and their whole, rosters a,
Speaker 1: whole it's, like it's not very, sexy it's not very.
Speaker 1: Exciting it's just, like all, right that's a. GUY i
Speaker 1: know that, guy all. Right like then they're schoobl who
Speaker 1: obviously is, incredible but they're doing a lot of platuning
Speaker 1: in their. Lineup they just Got Parker meadows, back so
Speaker 1: we'll see what he looks. Like he's you, know if
Speaker 1: if you need outfield help and deep outfield, leagues take
Speaker 1: a look At Parker. Meadows if he can stay, healthy
Speaker 1: he has. Talent he just hasn't been able to stay
Speaker 1: healthy in the. Past Labor torres is doing. Things Javier,
Speaker 1: bias he's, been he's been. WHATEVER i don't know, HOW
Speaker 1: i don't get.
Speaker 2: It, ye The tigers are plus three, sixty all, right
Speaker 2: SO i think only The yankees have a better, One
Speaker 2: SO i, mean why? Not why not? THEM i mean
Speaker 2: Jav bios has a, ring.
Speaker 1: Yeah so historicals and slowed down a little. Bit, UNFORTUNATELY
Speaker 1: i just dropped him in a shallow, league mostly BECAUSE
Speaker 1: i needed the roster. Spot BUT i might pick him back,
Speaker 1: up but no one else takes. Him BUT i picked Up,
Speaker 1: gaglione you, know as the mystery box, player AND i
Speaker 1: already Had Soda strom who was bouncing between outfield and first.
Speaker 1: Base and the other thing About aglione is he should
Speaker 1: be playing, outfield so right now is on the first base.
Speaker 1: Eligible he should be first base outfield, eligible which is.
Speaker 1: Helpful but Turkle sin has slowed down after a hot,
Speaker 1: start SO i dropped, him BUT i you, know still
Speaker 1: a decent source of power.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: YEAH i had a friend earlier this, year like When
Speaker 1: Javier byas was like batting three, million he like Swore
Speaker 1: Javier bias was, back AND i was, like, dude he's not.
Speaker 1: Back he maybe never, was but, like LIKE i get
Speaker 1: that he's always outperformed his, metrics but like it's not.
Speaker 1: Happening he's, like, Dude Like i'm watching the games he's,
Speaker 1: back AND i was, like all, right well we'll talk In. July.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no he's in The hall Of fame of tag
Speaker 2: outs at second base and after that likes a category and.
Speaker 2: Fantasy we'll let that. Ride it might be if you
Speaker 2: have a. Chance that's a great highlight film on. YouTube
Speaker 2: it's just his tagouts of steel attempts are.
Speaker 1: Amazing it might be a category in that league That
Speaker 1: worm invited me. TO i was, like heading into the,
Speaker 1: DRAFT i was looking at the scoring settings and outfield.
Speaker 1: Desists we're a category AND i was, like, dude what
Speaker 1: are we doing? Here why is this on this? League
Speaker 1: and he's, like, well you don't think they? Matter, NO
Speaker 1: i don't care about. THEM i don't want to count.
Speaker 1: Them so my goal is to vote that out of a.
Speaker 1: League but you, Know i'm Sure i'm in the minority.
Speaker 1: There it's the, newcomer all, Right moving right. Along let's
Speaker 1: go over to third base, now and this is where
Speaker 1: we're just going to hit on some news notes and
Speaker 1: injuries really, quick And i'll see if you have any
Speaker 1: thoughts on. Them serum AND i are beginning a rehab
Speaker 1: assignment On. Friday he's SOMEONE i stashed in a couple of.
Speaker 1: Leagues was really hoping for him to be back before,
Speaker 1: now so glad to have him back at, all BUT
Speaker 1: i was hoping to have him Before, june that's for, Sure.
Speaker 1: Tommy i've been dealing with another ankle. Injury seems like
Speaker 1: he aggravated that same ankle, issue which is frustrating because
Speaker 1: he got off to a really good. Start he's a
Speaker 1: really useful, player you, know multiple position, eligibility really good,
Speaker 1: lineup was hitting for a surprising amount of, power and you,
Speaker 1: know we can dabble some speed in there, Too so that's.
Speaker 1: Unfortunate as of this recording On, thursday he is not
Speaker 1: on the eye l and it's just a day to day.
Speaker 1: Thing but we'll see how that. Goes Hunter green back
Speaker 1: to the eel with a strained. GROIN i PROMISED i
Speaker 1: would not take a victory lap On Hunter green getting,
Speaker 1: hurt especially because the whole one you shouldn't do. That but,
Speaker 1: TOO i also might worry the whole time was his
Speaker 1: arm and, not but it's been lower body injuries he's dealing,
Speaker 1: With so it's just kind of like fluke. Injuries WHEREAS
Speaker 1: i was worried about him throwing one hundred three miles
Speaker 1: an hour in the ninth, Inning maximyer to the eyele
Speaker 1: with a hip injury to be determined if it's a
Speaker 1: real hip injury or if it's just a why don't
Speaker 1: you sit down for two weeks kid kind of a.
Speaker 1: Thing BECAUSE i really Like Maxi, meyer but he has
Speaker 1: really not looked good the last few starts and as
Speaker 1: has gone this, year it really go insides with me
Speaker 1: trading for. Him so apologies to all the Other Max
Speaker 1: meyer managers out. THERE i had a lot to do
Speaker 1: with him stinking BECAUSE i acquired. Him Brandon woodriff just
Speaker 1: can't get out of this rehab. Assignment he was a
Speaker 1: comebacker during as we. Have he's already stopped and started.
Speaker 1: TWICE i haven't seen any updates about. It if he's.
Speaker 1: OKAY i hopefully he, is but just had to mention
Speaker 1: that because he's in he already might be in the
Speaker 1: record books for the longest rehab assignment of all time
Speaker 1: because he already like used the max amount of time
Speaker 1: and then they shut him down and then they restarted,
Speaker 1: it and NOW i don't. KNOW i Like Brandon woodrum
Speaker 1: so hopefully hopefully he can come. Back his velocity was
Speaker 1: way down in earlier rehab, Starts so brace yourself if
Speaker 1: he does come. Back shane McClanahan Shanna mack hoping to
Speaker 1: return In july Or. AUGUST i will not hold my
Speaker 1: breath on that. Happening he very famously in our league
Speaker 1: was injured during.
Speaker 2: Our draft right after minute and a, half.
Speaker 1: Right after Worm bottom at The Salary Cap auction. Draft
Speaker 1: we just like went around the room watching the video
Speaker 1: because it was an in person draft, too so we
Speaker 1: all got to Experience worm's. Delight but who knows what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. There it's a nerve. Thing he already
Speaker 1: started throwing and had to kind of had to like
Speaker 1: scale it back. Again So i'm stashing him in one,
Speaker 1: league maybe two leagues WHERE i already had him before the,
Speaker 1: injury BUT i don't have high hopes there with whatever's
Speaker 1: going on. There and then a real. Bummer Pablo lopez
Speaker 1: expected to miss eight to twelve. Weeks that one. Stings
Speaker 1: any thoughts on any of those more than than WHAT
Speaker 1: i re.
Speaker 2: Shared, Yeah, Uh Pablo lopez was MY sp one or
Speaker 2: two in telt worst and like when we were talking,
Speaker 2: AFTERWARDS i was, like, YEAH i wasn't necessarily like thrilled about,
Speaker 2: it but everybody was, Like, oh he's so, consistent he's
Speaker 2: so like, healthy And i'm like, Right like that was
Speaker 2: my Whole my rite up about him was just, like,
Speaker 2: hey you don't know, much but you know, what you,
Speaker 2: know you're going to get this many starts from, him
Speaker 2: and and now you're absolutely. Not So i'm a little
Speaker 2: bit up a river on in a bunch of different
Speaker 2: leagues BECAUSE i have, him BUT i was already so
Speaker 2: far up the river and tetwars it doesn't necessarily. MATTER
Speaker 2: i also Have Brandon woodruff in our league if you're
Speaker 2: interested in training for. Him but, YEAH i mean the
Speaker 2: rest of it is like you said With. Maximier the
Speaker 2: only thing that stood out there was, like is it
Speaker 2: a hip injury or is it just a you have?
Speaker 2: Fallen things have fallen apart for. You we're just gonna
Speaker 2: give you a time.
Speaker 1: OUT i actually Had Brandon woodriffin in another week AND
Speaker 1: i traded him For Exavier, edwards SO i flipped those
Speaker 1: two for eachure while they were both. Hurt so it
Speaker 1: was high ol FOR i On edwards's. Back wonder if
Speaker 1: still not all? Right let's wrap things up with Home,
Speaker 1: plate our final of our four, segments and of course
Speaker 1: we have to mention this anytime it happens because of
Speaker 1: the name of the. Show but someone Named Dustin harris
Speaker 1: hit for the cycle yesterday In TRIPLE. A i will,
Speaker 1: say as we talked a little bit before the, SHOW
Speaker 1: i was watching the clips of. It the score was
Speaker 1: eighteen to two when he hit the home run to
Speaker 1: complete the, cycle and it was off a position, player
Speaker 1: so it still. Counts it's still in the record. Books
Speaker 1: no one can ever Tell Dustin harris that he didn't
Speaker 1: hit for the cycle In TRIPLE, a but he did
Speaker 1: hit the home round off of a position player who
Speaker 1: threw a meatball at. Him in terms of fantasy, RELEVANCE
Speaker 1: i don't know how much there. IS i will ADMIT
Speaker 1: i did not know Who Dustin harris was before. This
Speaker 1: it looks like he did get a cup of coffee
Speaker 1: in the major leagues last year he played two games
Speaker 1: with The, rangers and, interestingly In TRIPLE a last next
Speaker 1: year bat at two seventy two with ten home runs
Speaker 1: and thirty five stolen, Bases so it's got a little.
Speaker 1: Juice and the year before that fourteen home runs forty
Speaker 1: one stolen, Bases Dustin harris can move a little. Bit
Speaker 1: but this year sixteen, games batting two hundred and that
Speaker 1: home run for the cycle was his first of the.
Speaker 1: Year but if someone hits for the, cycle we have
Speaker 1: to mention. It AND i will say we kicked off
Speaker 1: the season by talking About Carson kelly hitting for the.
Speaker 1: Cycle And Carson kelly is having a heck of a
Speaker 1: year right. Now So Dustin, harris maybe put him on
Speaker 1: your scout. Team you see what. Happens and then the
Speaker 1: last thing here is something you wanted to. Mention you
Speaker 1: you added to. It so why don't you close us
Speaker 1: out with this last?
Speaker 2: TOPIC i, MEAN i think that everyone needs to understand
Speaker 2: the pet peeve that both you AND i have on
Speaker 2: why they're constantly changing baseballs and they're messing with. It
Speaker 2: and So, enoseris who you, know does just a ton
Speaker 2: of work and some interesting, work just tweeted yesterday that
Speaker 2: there's more drag on the ball this year than any
Speaker 2: year in the stack cast, era and that's by MLB's own,
Speaker 2: numbers and so there's just less distance on bad at. Balls, equally,
Speaker 2: well hip balls are traveling less This march Through may
Speaker 2: as in past, seasons and every comment on this suite
Speaker 2: started off with can we look at just the balls
Speaker 2: In Yankee stadium And Dodger? Stadium AND i think that
Speaker 2: that's a fascinating. Question So i'm not a conspiracy, theorist
Speaker 2: BUT i just get really annoyed that they continue to
Speaker 2: mess with the baseball BECAUSE i feel like that should
Speaker 2: be a pretty uniform, situation, like, right are we not
Speaker 2: playing at the SAME.
Speaker 1: Baa it drives me absolutely insane that we don't know
Speaker 1: what the ball is going to be like every, year
Speaker 1: this ball seems, fine you, KNOW i get. That it's
Speaker 1: by the, way for the people who don't know if
Speaker 1: stackcast era is back to twenty, sixteen so it's the
Speaker 1: last ten years right. Now that's when stackcast started a
Speaker 1: lot of this. Stuff and we've you, know we've seen twenty,
Speaker 1: seventeen nineteen bouncy. Balls twenty twenty one was a bouncy
Speaker 1: ball year two where the home runs just flying all
Speaker 1: over the. PLACE i actually thought at the beginning of
Speaker 1: this year there was some data that, indicated you, know
Speaker 1: they might they might be super balls, again they might
Speaker 1: be super. Bouncy and that coincided with the torpedo, bats
Speaker 1: and that phenomenon In Yankee. Stadium as you, mentioned maybe
Speaker 1: it was just A yankee. Stadium not going to be
Speaker 1: a conspiracy, theorist but that wouldn't be the first time
Speaker 1: they got caught using different balls In Yankee stadium by.
Speaker 1: Accident but you, know When Aaron judge was chasing the,
Speaker 1: record he just happened to get some super balls all the.
Speaker 1: Time so not a conspiracy, theorist but you, know we'll.
Speaker 1: See but, yeah it drives me bananas that the ball
Speaker 1: is not the. SAME i hate the bounty balls BECAUSE
Speaker 1: i just want like a regular baseball. GAMES i don't
Speaker 1: need to watch fourteen to twelve games every. Day i'd
Speaker 1: rather watch like five to three. Games and it most annoys.
Speaker 1: Me AND i know this is like first world, problems
Speaker 1: but like as an, analyst it's annoying to have to
Speaker 1: think about this every. Year and even you, know we
Speaker 1: talk about it on the show'd be, like, oh he
Speaker 1: had a really good year in twenty twenty, One like oh,
Speaker 1: right but like the tolp of The Super bowl. Year
Speaker 1: so you kind of have to like have a caveat
Speaker 1: for every year in the, past and LIKE i almost
Speaker 1: need like a cheat sheet for like what kind of
Speaker 1: ball which year, like, oh like he had a good,
Speaker 1: year but LIKE i was a bad. Ball, okay but,
Speaker 1: yeah we can close it out there before we rant.
Speaker 1: Anymore so thanks everyone for tuning in For Kelly, KIRBY
Speaker 1: i am like. Mayor this has been the cycle and
