I am continuously every night looking at 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:33.599 the scores, updating, trying to see where I can get 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.320 an edge. Maybe we can help you today a little 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.600 bit less news at the top that we're going to do, 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.920 or just headlining type of things in replacement of maybe 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.040 helping you guys pick up some players. I've got some 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.920 category chasing, so I picked a player that is readily 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.000 available across the board. If you're trying to pick up 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.959 some hitting categories. We're going to be talking about some 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.200 streamers for the weekend streaming. I've got some options we 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.640 can dig through. Answer your questions. We got some bets, 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:01.880 a little bit of this, a little bit of that. 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.800 We don't have a Corbyn Carroll and I destination today. 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.800 I I was gonna say my creativity, but not to 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.800 break the fourth wall, Bubba. But we didn't travel anywhere. 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.920 But I am wearing the Corbyn Carrol shirt, the fun 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.039 Friday shirt. This is the additional Carol shirt if everybody 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.840 wants to know, Like see here, look this was us 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.160 at the Grand Canyon and see it's the same shirt. 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.839 So it is the there rego. There's the fund shirt. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.000 I know it's a Cocoboa Friday. Oh rock show. 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.800 Sorry you got you gotta love it. How are we doing? 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.360 Brother? We're doing good. We're doing good. It's a Friday. 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.520 Ready to get into the weekend. Baseball still cranking out, 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.520 but it's just been some weird stuff on the diamond lately. 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.120 If you're playing Fantasy, so buckle up for the last 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.040 two weeks, is all I can say. Yeah hopefully. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.280 I mean you should be relatively prepared for that. I 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.000 think I kind of forget I do this every year. 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.920 I forget how wild the last couple of weeks are 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.760 from betting perspective, like trying to get in on like 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.040 prop bets. I didn't have a good day on Wednesday. 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.880 The bets are weird, the games are weird, the playing 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.800 time is odd. Everything is. This is a very strange 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.400 time of year, and it also creates the bug. And 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.320 I did this on I t L where he wanted 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.760 to do his whole like we should en buy September 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.160 first type of thing, and it's like maybe no, maybe it's. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:20.720 Just yeah, maybe it's almos. Maybe yeah, maybe we wouldn't 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:22.720 We wouldn't be doing this if that's the case. 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.520 Very good point. Yeah, yeah, he's trying to take jobs 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:30.000 away from good hard working fantasy yeah, which is ridiculous. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.320 But I don't know. I think it also kind of 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.360 comes back to like the cry baby nature of some 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.120 of the stuff where it's like arkn only play road 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.359 blah blah blah blah. I like variants. It does stink 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.919 and it hurts sometimes, but I enjoy variants across the board. 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.040 So that's what we're gonna be talking about. You and 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.400 I are not this, but you can easily find out 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.400 how at least half of the fantasy Baseball Twitter space is. 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:57.200 But Heim Bloom fired from the from the Boston Red Sox, 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.880 and everybody's got to take because they're all Red Sox fans. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.639 Not you and I were West Coast guys. One of 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.600 the few West Coast guys, but you just forget how 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.520 many Red Sox fans are out there, because everybody is like, like, 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.200 this is just like a simple firing, and everyone's like 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.959 take take, take, take, take, take, take take machine. But 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.600 I hate his name, So I'm glad he's gone because 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:17.880 I look at his name and I want to say 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.600 a chain. I want to be super like dumb. 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:21.560 But I don't know. 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.480 Did you have any thoughts that twelve hundred other analysts 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.520 haven't already said on Twitter? 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.359 You know, it's actually pretty funny the way he said that, 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.640 Because I mentioned it on the first pitch last night, 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.799 I'm sitting there going, I had no idea he was 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.920 such a polarizing figure until the fire he took place. 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.000 Like you said, it seemed like eight eighty percent almost 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.000 was like from the rooftops. Thank god it finally happened. 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:41.720 There's twenty percent of going, Oh, he was just doing 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.280 his job. That's what they hired him to do. And 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.800 you know, now they're throwing him out, they're blaming him 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.520 for what they told him to do. Blah blah. I 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.200 think it's funny. I don't care either way. The Red Sox, 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.720 you know, they're going to Red Sox. They're either gonna 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.240 spend money or they're gonna keep doing what they're doing. 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.120 I don't think it's gonna matter who's in that seat, 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.000 but I thought I thought it was funny to see 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.720 all the reactions, Like you said, yeah. 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:03.160 I mean it's crazy. So this one time, yeah, gentile 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.080 of me. Well, it's just the name. It's the name 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.040 is frustrating. I look at it. I think I literally 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:08.480 said it earlier in the air. I was like Chain, 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.120 and they're like, no, huh. I'm like, uh, I call. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.040 Him chain every time I see it. Chain, not even 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:15.000 I don't even know. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.200 It's just it's it's a it's a very jolting. But 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.320 I like have a dumb brain sometimes, so it doesn't matter. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.960 This one time, a long, long time ago, Bogman and 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.159 I were asked to come on. 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:26.200 This radio show. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.520 It was this New York radio show and we we 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.440 went on and they didn't really give us a prep 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.200 but this was like I want to say, this was 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.400 like a basketball time or something like that. And we 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.680 and we went on and was like the first question 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.640 out the gates got him trying to think of who 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.119 he is. You remember who the Knicks owner was Someone's 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:45.800 gonna say it in the chat, whoever the Knicks owner 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.520 was was not Dolan, right, No, it was Dolan. It 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:52.880 was I think so. And the first question out was like, so, 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.680 what you think about all this stuff going on with Dolan? 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.640 And me and Bogman are both like what, like huh? 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.840 And then and and and we realized, like it's such 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.080 an it was an East Coast bias thing, like that's 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.000 the only thing that they live and Breathe was like 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.520 that side and we had no idea what was going on. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.640 This reminded me of the heinm Bloom thing, like I 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.080 think the Red Sox screwed it up. They screwed up 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.239 the Mooki bets trade without question, big time. It hurts 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:25.000 because you're seeing the Orioles compete for a playoff run, 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.279 the Yankees still kind of being the Yankees, the Razor 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.000 being better, you know, like everyone's competing. While so I know, 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.880 it like hurts and stuff, but it just doesn't mean 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.200 anything to anybody else. But I know, like Red Sox 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.920 fans are like, ah, we got him, and then but 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.160 then you're inundated with it. But it is kind of 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:42.120 the biggest news. 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.840 But it's pretty funny that, like you mentioned that he 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.280 messed up the Mookie Best trade, which he did, there's 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.680 no denying that. But then I saw a tweet the 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:51.480 other day, a couple of days ago actually about the 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.840 A's and like what they read their return for like 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.920 Mattles and Sean Murphy and one of the other trades 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.760 that was worse than the Mookie Bets trade, and no 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:00.880 one in Open's getting fired because they're just trying to 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.479 move down. My point is you're seeing the difference between 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.280 winning franchises and the A's and the A's like whatever 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:07.160 we tried. 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.720 Well, you're also saying East Coast bias. This is a 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.760 ver this is the newer version of East Coast bias. 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.760 I think I think if the A's guy got fired, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.000 it would be as crazy because it's the A's. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.720 I guess, I don't know, Yeah, Like would the Angels 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.240 if they got rid of their leadership? Would this be 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.720 like twelve hunt? Maybe you know what actually might be? 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.200 It might be countrywide because of the because well that's 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.880 what I'm kind of getting out, Like would this be bigger? 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.320 If I'm trying to think, I can't think of who 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.440 the hell it is if they fired the Angels management, 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.120 would it be bigger than the hind Bloom situation could. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.239 But I kind of don't think it would be because 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.120 of the bias, but it should be because like they're 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.880 a disaster and how they can keep going about it. 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.120 But you know what, sometime we do that there'd be 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.800 a fun like mini show, mini series to do MLB's 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.880 worst trades and go back and look at like the 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.400 awful trades, because yeah, you think of like just in 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.400 the last ten years, some of the trades that we've seen, 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.040 it's pretty pretty astonishing. I always like to win a 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.400 trade is finalized like over time. Like what's coming to 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.600 mind here is the Diamondbacks have made multiple just horrifically 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.760 bad trades, and then when the last piece is gone, 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.280 you'll get the article from that one writer who's like, ah, 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.760 the last remnants of this and they'll be like, this 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.520 was the last remnants of the Goldie trade when Carson 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.000 Kelly got designated, and it's just you look back and 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:25.520 you're like, like. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.600 They're all just so awful. I won't even ask, but 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.200 I have a hunch the Swanson trade didn't go so well. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.520 No that well that I'm telling you go back and 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.240 look like, I think this year had like the final 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.640 final remnants. One of them, Nick Ahmed got designated and 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.800 everyone was like, oh, here's the last Justin of the 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.280 Justin Upton trade. And I. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:46.520 Was a while ago. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:48.960 Yeah, and then the Swanson trade because I was with 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.920 the Braves, and then the Swanson trade was a total disaster, 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.960 Goldie trade disaster. But you know who's counting. Who's counting? 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.160 I mean, but I'm you know what, you just turned 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.120 me into the Red Sox fans. I'm making it about 0:07:59.160 --> 0:07:59.880 all these bad trades. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.320 The last thing I'll say that people could probably not 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.880 care about this anymore, is it's funny if Giants fans, 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.880 like yesterday there's a big debate should they keep far 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.680 Han and Capler and management said they're keeping them through 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.080 next season at least, where all of a sudden, I 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.720 didn't even realize it, there was a large like mob 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.560 saying they should be fired and replaced because they're not 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.320 doing a good job. So I was like, wow, I 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.240 did not see that one coming. So it's every team. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.120 So I'm trying to say it just depends on where 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.320 your ear lace at night. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.760 Yeah, it's it's the head hunting. It's just the difference 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.520 is the headlining article on ESPN. There's going to be 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.840 a Red Sox owner and not wait until Cashman's gone. 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.880 That's gonna be fun, Oh god, be fun. It might 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.679 have I mean not that esp would have to like 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.280 cover baseball, but if they did, they'd have like a special. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.040 You know, they'd shut it down and they'd be like 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.080 Dune Dun breaking special the cap. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.240 It might come on national television if Fran Cashman gets fired, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:50.240 I'm breaking news. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.760 Like that might be the thing that gets ESPN to 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:52.800 talk about baseball, and. 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.920 That would be amazing during football season. It might make 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:56.480 the top five things on the website. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.360 Yeah. A couple of notes from interesting stuff that happened 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.720 over the last twenty four hours. Could I Singa dominated 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.880 the Diamondback six inning, struck out ten as the Mets 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.040 blowing out the Diamondbacks, pushing them back, And could I 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.960 Singa just continues to be good on the back half 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:10.400 of the year. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:11.480 He is good. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.160 We've talked a bunch about like what that like top 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.040 fifteen to twenty SP's are going to be boy Senga 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.280 is going to be in that conversation, and might I 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.520 don't know if he'll be cheap ish or if he's 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.800 going to kind of fall into the blobby territory like 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.719 Scott and White and spor like to have used the 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.040 term blob. Maybe he's gonna be in there. I think 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.439 I'm gonna be very invested in could I Singa next season? 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.240 I love coud I Singa. In that early draft that 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.199 we started the first seven rounds again real draft for 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.560 those that keep track at home, he did not get drafted, 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.440 and I was shocked because I had him on my radar. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.240 But the way the flow of the draft was, I 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.160 needed to field some other spots that were drying up quickly. 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.040 I wanted to take him in round six. I didn't 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.320 up taking him at all. Ryan Bloomfield has the first 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.360 pick coming back, and we talked about it multiple times. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.880 He's pretty locked in on something crazy. I've been Singa's 0:09:58.880 --> 0:09:59.760 the first pick around so. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.120 Thing, so like how many how many pictures does he have? 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.320 I think he has two started. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.000 I mean say guys like three. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.360 Oh yes, That's why I have Yuri pres and Sures 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:09.920 And I'm like, I should have taken Singing, but I 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.000 need I had no closers and closers were almost gone, 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:13.760 so I had to take a clothe like in a 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.599 draft and hold format where you can't add closers, you 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.040 need at least something, and that's what dictated it. Otherwise 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.800 I had sing it for sure. Hindsight three amazing. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.560 Hindsight from a month ago. I think next year, I've 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.560 not worked on my ranks. I'm not gonna I'm gonna 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.199 in October. I'm gonna like start my initial rank and 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:33.000 stuff with you. My initial reaction this moment Senga over sus. 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.880 I'm with you without question. But that's what Mon thought 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.559 about these early drafts. It's like if you win some 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.360 you lose. So I'm like, you're gonna get some values 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.600 in around fifteen and sixteen or something you're like, wow, awesome, 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.880 and there's these other ones like not good. 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.240 Bob, Yeah, you're right also in just like paying off 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.760 right now, getting back to the we're talking about the 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.480 Yankees and the Red Sox, but Michael King eight strikeouts, 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.280 one run, four and two thirds, not getting the big 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.199 run but getting stretched out as a starter. YE pay 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.000 attention to this next year, and I feel pretty confident 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.880 about Michael King the rest of the way through whatever 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:05.800 those starts are going to look like. I don't know 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.280 what his schedule is next week. If he pitched yesterday, 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.839 he's probably only gonna have one this next week. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.640 Do you have that starts? He's got two more starts. 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.040 I'm literally just loading. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.000 Well, two more starts on the end of the year, 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:16.880 but not two starts now. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.160 Oh yeah, one start next week? Sorry my bad, so 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.920 starting next week New York Yankees Michael King, who I 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.160 do agree with you on this. I thought people should 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.760 have grabbed him this past week. But the Yankees. He 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.880 will get Verse Toronto and then his final start. He 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.880 could get two starts to last week at Toronto, at 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.880 Kansas City potentially, so he could have three more starts 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.560 to Toronto starts in a case he started. Toronto's wishy washy, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:42.400 a lot of strikeouts. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.439 Yeah, it's wishy washy, but I think the strikeouts are there. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.320 He's been he's not. You know, if he could get 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.360 to five or six, that'd be great. Maybe that's next year. 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.920 Well, that's the thing. I was looking at the stretching 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.760 out part. Like you mentioned the four and two thursdys. 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.120 You'd like to see more. But he got up to 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.600 eighty seven pitches, he's gone sixty one, sixty nine, seventy nine, 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.000 eighty seven, he's going to be close to one hundred. 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:01.880 He's gonna get you the win chances. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.679 I also think the pitching market that's available in like 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.320 most leagues, like you might people well, yeah, exactly, someone listening. 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.160 You might have like awesome pictures out there, but like 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.679 I would say, like the general, you know, leagues that 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.240 everybody's playing in, there's just not really great pictures. There's 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.800 not good two starts and stuff that, like I would 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.599 be more into prioritizing. And I did this like on 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.640 CBS earlier in the week, so you'll know where I'm going. 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.520 But like, even if a guy is like a you know, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.839 more of a three to four inning guy, if I 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.800 can get one or two of those guys that maybe 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:36.920 they jump into a win or maybe you know, the 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.199 stretched out nature of it's in question, I would rather 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.240 have Michael King or Christopher Sanchez. Is what the whole 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:46.240 conversation was around then trying to like pigeonhole unless I'm 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.319 in a points league, and then instead of trying to 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.520 pigeonhole just some random starter in there that might you know, 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.000 like having to start Brandon Fought today, that's not a 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.320 great feeling. That's really not a good feeling. I would 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.400 rather have a Christopher Sanchez who can go three or 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.199 four inning, so maybe two or three times in a 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.040 whek or two even two times in a week, get 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.640 better strikeouts, maybe sneak in a win, then get blown 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.760 out by You know, Fought's gonna get lit up today. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:10.720 It's just Bertal. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:11.400 He's gonna get. 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.800 Out Pepio and King. Those of the two guys, if 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:15.839 they're available for you for the last two weeks, I'd 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.599 go and get them quickly. Pepio's got tigers and two giant. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.800 Starts, so I agree. All right, So category chasing, we're 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.400 going to answer your questions. So you have a couple 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.400 more minutes. If you are on the live stream podcast listeners, 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.040 come and hang out with us a couple more shows. 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.400 We will answer your questions here in just a second. 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.360 But I put together some category chasing. I use the 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.959 last fourteen days as a little bit of a barometer. 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.480 Here are some players in bubba. If you want to 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.839 throw in a player, please do. You can also tell 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.959 me what you think of these four categories. I'm not 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.640 worrying about batting average just because, like I don't know, 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.160 it's a bigger crap shoot. But if you're chasing homers, runs, RBI, 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.760 stolen bases, here are some guys that could be readily available. 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.800 Number one, if you're trying to chase homers on the 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.440 open market, we've talked about him, Nelson Velasquez. Four homers 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.800 over the last two weeks. That is a home run 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.120 category chase that I think you can do. Anybody you 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.160 want to add Bubba. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.120 To the I absolutely love the last as for some 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.800 reason Torque still available, Like it's surprising. Is the one 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.720 that I mentioned actually is Wilmer Flores. 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.559 He's a little less than what you got with Yeah, 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:18.280 I almost put on. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.240 Flores has been very sneaky good, he bad. He actually 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.440 helps you in almost all four categories outside stolen bases. 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.640 Yeah, and I only added one, but had I added 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.960 to he would have been number two on the list runs. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.080 How about this in Detroit Matt Vierling twelve runs scored 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.280 over the last two weeks. That is almost a run 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.040 per day. If you're chasing some runs right now, he 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.040 is getting some proverbial run with the Tigers. That would 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.640 be someone I would pick up in the runs department. 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.120 Over on RBI, this one has been weird, but Robbie 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.200 Grossman's been hitting three in some instances for this team. 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.160 He has nine RBI for the Rangers over the last 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.960 two weeks, so that could be another one of those options. 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.400 Is and when you're hitting three, by the way, what's 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.400 so great about that is you were hitting in behind 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.520 Marcus Simeon and Corey Seger on that team. So yeah, 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.040 that that could be a really nice opportunity. And then finally, 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.080 if you're going for stolen bases, actually put two here. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.600 Bryce Terrange with Milwaukee he has five stolen bases over 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.880 the last two weeks, as well as Jacob Young with 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.040 the Nationals. Batting average isn't there. I think with Young, 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.160 Buddy has four stolen bases. So if you're chasing stolen bases, 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.760 those would be where you can open market get anybody 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.440 else you want to add that. I didn't bring up 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.360 as far as any of the four category chasers. 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.120 Yeah, surprisingly, Jack Sowinsky's hitting for average right now. He's 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.520 available in a ton of leagues, and he's got three 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.160 homers and three steals over the last two weeks. He'd 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.440 be one to look at and Tommy fam I know 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.200 we always joke about him, but no one rosters him 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:41.760 and he's still being very, very productive. 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.760 He's available, he's the biggest. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.880 You'd be surprised, like a lot of twelves. It's like 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.440 a fifty to fifty shot, but most of the leagues I'm. 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.480 In, he's an absolute slam if he's available out there. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.040 I also wanted to move up just in the prep. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.240 I wanted to move up the weekend streamers that we 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.840 usually talk about, and I put them here. So I 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.280 put a I put three starters on Saturday, three starters 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.920 on Sunday. You pick one that you like the best, 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.040 because these might not all be the best options, but 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.080 I put together three that I thought made the most sense. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:15.400 On Saturday, JP France is going up against the Royals, 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.200 Tyler McGill, Heylo R McGill is going up against the Reds, 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.640 and Ranger Suarez is going up against Saint Louis. McGill 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.960 is the only home game there. The other tour on 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.440 the road. So JP France is in Kansas City, Ranger 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.600 Swarres is in Saint Louis. You pick one to stream 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.000 on Saturday, which one are you going with. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.680 I think I'm going to McGill because that Cincinnati offense 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.920 has hit a complete roadblock. It's been really rough. At 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.000 least McGill should be able to get your strikeouts. So 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.120 that's the angle I go too. They're not great Americans 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:45.680 go that's mine too. 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.760 If you had to rank them, I think I would 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:51.800 go McGill, France and then Ranger Swarez France is not phenomenal. 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.680 It's yeah, I'm not I'm not supergainst it. It's just 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.400 like the Kansas City offense. Maybe attack that a little bit. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.880 I want to mention just one for people to keep 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.320 an eye. Oh, he's not pitching this weekend anymore. I 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:09.200 know he is. Gibson long Nick Pollock turned me on 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.840 to him. You played him as a prospect, Sawyer Gibson. 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.680 He's gonna be pitching Saturday, and I think there is 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.159 some viability there going up against the Angels offense that 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.280 is dreadful, and then you get Oakland next week, so 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:22.160 he'd be a guy to watch. 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:27.360 Okay, on Sunday, here are your three. Jordan Wicks at Arizona. 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:31.480
