All are awesome people hanging out with 13 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: us today as we are going to be going through 14 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: everything that went down in baseball, everything that's coming up, 15 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: and contract extensions. I know they're not quite exciting, except 16 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: when these really really young, crazy hot prospects signed big money, 17 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: taking out all of their arbitration, taking out their free 18 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: agent years. And the realization that Michael Harris who signed 19 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: congratulations to him an eight year, seventy two million dollar deal. 20 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna throw this at you, he will not 21 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: be a free agent until he's thirty two years old. Like, 22 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: think about how young he is, how great he is. 23 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: That's a state of baseball. Sign a contract. It's pretty 24 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: good money football. Derwin James is safety just signed a 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: four year, seventy six million dollar okay, eight years, seventy 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: two million dollars for Michael Harris. He will not be 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,919 Speaker 1: a free agent until thirty two. I still will stand 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: that this is bad for baseball, but it's great for 29 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: the Braves. 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: Kelly absolutely, I'll be fifty two when his contract ends, 31 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: so let's not put our age. 32 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: You're like, he's like, I'll be oh boy, I don't know. 33 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know. Even typing it in, I was like, 34 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: thirty two. No, I think it's great for them. The 35 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: fun fact I put in there later is it's just 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: kind of insane for what the race. 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: Give us a fun fact. Let's just rock it right now, 38 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: because I think it's a it's kind of a wild 39 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: thing to process, and I'll let you do it if 40 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: you want. It's it is a one. This actually looks 41 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: like a dynasty trade. I'm gonna ask to throw this out, 42 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: So think of like a dynasty trade in your mind 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: of these players. But go ahead, with that fun fact. 44 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: All right, So Ronald Ducunya Azzi, Elbi's, Austin Riley, and 45 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: Michael Harris have now signed long contracts with the Braves. Combined, 46 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: they are going to earn four hundred and nineteen million dollars. 47 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: Mike Trout signed a contract for four hundred and twenty 48 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 2: six point five million dollars. 49 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: So that's four years ago this dynasty trade, where it 50 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: had been like do I want all of these young guys, 51 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: especially on the same team, it worked out. Here's another 52 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: one to throw at you. I don't have the exact 53 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: number here, but I just thought of it and think 54 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: of the Rangers who have Cory Seeger and Marcus Simeon 55 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: at like five about half a billion dollars, and it's like, 56 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, what would you rather have? You get one Trout, 57 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: you get a secret and me in, or you're getting 58 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: a Kunya Albi's, Riley and Michael Harris. It's pretty good. 59 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: The Braids are pretty good at what they do. They 60 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, don't seem to have any issue buying 61 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: out all these guys arbitration and buying out free agent 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: years and having control through really like you know, twenty 63 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: twenty seven is for the most part for most of 64 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: these guys, so they don't really lock up the pictures. 65 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. We were talking about the Rookie 66 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: of the Year stuff yesterday and how Spencer Strider is 67 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: a current leader and Michael Harris is the plus money 68 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: right behind him and Strider, you know, good start this week. 69 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: But no contract extension for Strider and Michael Harris, I 70 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: believe came even later in that process. But they love 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: their hitters. It seems like they have the inverse Mets 72 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: thing where it's they want to pay the hitters and 73 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: then they are going to go and buy the pictures 74 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: into the future where the Mets used to pay the 75 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: hitters and homegrown the pictures in whatever attempt when it 76 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: was no Cindergarten to grom But do you like this deal? 77 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: I mean, do you like I mean, obviously you like 78 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: it for the Braves, but do you like it for 79 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: Michael Harris? If we wanted to play that card, if 80 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: we wanted to play the player's card. 81 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so long, I mean eight years. I kind 82 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: of I wish I wish it was five. I think 83 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: five would just feel a little bit better for him. 84 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 2: But I was just thinking about it. None of them 85 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: are represented by Boris, right, I mean. 86 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: No, Michael Harris. Actually, it's funny you say that because 87 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: of a friend of mine, Dennis Sidler, who owns a 88 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: great company called sids Grafs does all these autographs. He 89 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: has an exclusive deal with Michael Harris that he signed, 90 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: and Michael Harris is so all of like when he 91 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: signs bats and stuff, he can only do it through Dennis, 92 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: So sidsgrafs dot Com. There's a nice plug for him. 93 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: And we were actually talking about this, and you know, 94 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: he's got a smaller agent, you know, not he not 95 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: even an agency really, it's like a smaller kind of 96 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: very individual agent that got this done, not Boris, Like 97 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: any of those guys are Boris. 98 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well, I mean because he usually just absolutely 99 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: prevents people from doing the extensions. So for for Harris himself, yeah, 100 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 2: I I think I think it's good because he's super young, 101 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 2: but like, yeah, I kind of agree with you in 102 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: terms of it's bad for baseball. And it was like 103 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 2: the eight years, it's just a really long time to know, 104 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: you guys not going anywhere. 105 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: And we know nothing I'll ever get fixed with baseball. 106 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they can't, like, you know, they can't play 107 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: while trying to figure out what's the best thing for 108 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,559 Speaker 1: the game. So they hold out, and then they try 109 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: to come up to other agreements that might help baseball, 110 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: like let's even say the International Draft, and everybody just says, no, U, 111 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: let's get what they want. So why do we ever 112 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: think there'd be any type of cap or your cap 113 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: or anything to contracts. I mean, this is good for player, 114 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: This is good for the teams more than anything else. 115 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: And I suppose you cand always argue it's good to 116 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: see players stay on the same team. It's just I 117 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: don't know. I see eight, ten, twelve year contracts and 118 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: it's just like okay, like it's wild. But to be 119 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: fair in baseball, you know football, Like I mentioned this guy, 120 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: Dorwin James with the Chargers signed a deal four year, 121 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: seventy six million dollars. I think today, you know, he 122 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: will get his second contracts still in his twenties. But 123 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: baseball's life span is so much bigger. So even though 124 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: Michael Harris will be thirty two, as long as he 125 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: doesn't pull like a Jacob Hayward or anything like that, 126 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: that at thirty two, you can still sign a massive 127 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: another second deal and that would be the big, big 128 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: money day. They don't all get like one. So so 129 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: Michael Harris is huge year is going to pay off 130 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens with the rookie. Speaking of 131 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: the Mike Trout comp here, Mike Trout could return to 132 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: the lineup this week and if not, it could be 133 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: probably early next week. But either way, Kelly, we are 134 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: getting Mike Trout back very soon. Are your expectations anything? 135 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 2: No, I have no expectations for him at this point. 136 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: I feel like they're going to try to keep him healthy, 137 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: which means we're going to just see so much more 138 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: of him Dhan or just doing less of what he 139 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 2: thinks her. 140 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: In weekly leagues to that point right there. I mean, 141 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: you always have the advantage of being able to just 142 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: throw guys out at DH, except you have Shohio Tani. 143 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: So it's just like the Angels have with us as 144 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: fantasy owners. When you draft Oughtani and have the two 145 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: way player, your utility is pretty much locked up. You're 146 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: not gonna go and be able to have a lot 147 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: of flexibility. Do you think because of Tani is gonna 148 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: be locked in at DH? And how the season is 149 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: going and Trout's current health that there could be a 150 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: tiny bit of danger in weekly leagues. I don't know 151 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: if there's a there's a way that we could ever 152 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: justify not starting him in really any capacity, but weekly 153 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: leagues could get messy. If he plays two days, sits one, 154 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: then there's an off day and they're trying to give 155 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: him two straight days and all of a sudden, you 156 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: know you're getting maybe three games out of him in 157 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: a given week when you could get six from a 158 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: Von Grissom. 159 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: You know something like that, right, right, Yeah, especially like 160 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: the counting categories is you just can't. Yeah, when he's 161 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: in he could be fantastic, but we also don't know 162 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: what that's going to look like with the back injury. 163 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: You know, does it does he swing less hard? I 164 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: have no idea. I just could cup on everything. 165 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: It's actually gonna be really important, to be really important 166 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: to watch Mike trot. I think it's gonna tell a 167 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: big story about what we might be in for. It's 168 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: gonna tell everything for next year because when the season's done, 169 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: Trout rests, you know, we come back, but I really 170 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: want to see, like, how does he perform. You know, 171 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: I don't really care how the Angels treat him, but 172 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: is how is all of this going to Readjust are 173 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: we really going to be on the down side of 174 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: this or we're going to look back on this, which 175 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: I think is most likely situation. We're gonna look back 176 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: on all this stuff and we're gonna be like, Ah, 177 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: wasn't that funny when we like doubted Mike Trout and 178 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: we can just still never doubt him. But the back 179 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: issue is no good. The other headlining piece, though, I 180 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: do think it's funny. I think it was like John 181 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: Hayman and a couple of people were like Yankees top prospect. 182 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: Estevon listen, Estevan Floriol has had all the opportunities in 183 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: the world. He ain't a top prospect anymore, so don't 184 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: get it twisted. Estevon Floriel puts up video game type 185 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: of numbers in the minors and completely disappears. This is 186 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: an Atari versus a PS five type of thing. He 187 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: is PS five and Triple A, and he is Atari 188 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: when he gets to the majors. He doesn't steal those 189 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: thirty two bases that he has in the mind. He 190 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: doesn't hit those fourteen homers. He has a career two 191 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: h six average in the Major though it's been short stent. 192 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: I've seen him so much live in the minors from 193 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: a couple of different AFL stands. He has got all 194 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: the intangibles except a consistent hit tool. It's actually very 195 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: reminiscent of Jared Kalnick with just actually higher speed potential. 196 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: But he's getting called up, and I think we're in 197 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: a real big kind of prospect, you know, influx right 198 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: now where it's like, hey, Shane Lngliers even came up 199 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: and he's rocking and Von Grissom and all that. But 200 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: it's like Floriel to me is not that guy, very 201 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: true quad a player. But I know he's gonna get 202 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: He's gonna get some ramp up. He's gonna get some 203 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: ramp up by a lot of people. Do you have 204 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: any interest in Floria because he has a power speed 205 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: combo guy, No doubt. 206 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: I don't at this point with him because because exactly 207 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: that when he gets called up, it just goes away. 208 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: The only thing I like, you know again is the 209 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 2: Yankees in that ballpark, in with that lineup. If he 210 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: does get on, he could boost like runs and whatnot. 211 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: But I just don't trust it. I don't trust Kalenik. 212 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: I mean, they're just guys that I can't put on 213 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 2: my team at all. 214 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean there's big strikeout numbers, but you know, 215 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: to be fair, he had. What he has changed is 216 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: really got back on the bass. Pats last year played 217 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: seventy eight games in Triple A and only stole thirteen bases, 218 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: and he stole none in Double A for a little 219 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: tiny stent. Average was crap last year. This year in 220 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: Triple A, he's hitting right around to eighty, stole thirty. 221 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: Power numbers seemed to be in line, but strikeout numbers 222 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: also seemed to be relatively in line. So as where 223 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: I said, like, I would go and speculate on Shane 224 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: Langelier's early on which I think is look good. It 225 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: looked good, great, you know, power hit double. I think 226 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: in his first hit. Florida is not a guy that 227 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking to speculate on. There's other guys and actually 228 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: we'll talk about one in just a minute. Some injuries, 229 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: Jorge Blanco out of the lineup against the Royals today, 230 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber out of the lineup that was fun call him. 231 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: He was out out Tuesday, out Wednesday. Led Me's dias 232 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: could be placed on the IL the ten day, according 233 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: to Dusty Baker, and Clay Holmes need a fifteen day 234 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: il stent due to a backage. You may need a 235 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: season long il stent due to everything. Well, remember when 236 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: he was good, Remember that point in the season where 237 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: we were like, Clay Holmes should save games over a 238 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: role as Chapman. And here we are now, Kelly. 239 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: I literally dropped him for Matt Bush in the league. 240 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: Yeah it was ugly, but I was like, I gotta 241 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: get him out of here. 242 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: Hearing that it was a little rough, that's all. Yeah, 243 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: you gotta do what you gotta do. So if you 244 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: are looking for prospect to pick up, because that is 245 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: the fun, that is the trend. There are guys we've 246 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: talked about. Obviously, Corman Carroll is someone. Corban Carroll and 247 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson are the two biggest impactful players that are 248 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: floating around. We just don't know what the teams are 249 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: going to do with them. Another guy that, though I 250 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: do not believe he has enough games under his belt, 251 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: is absolutely terrorizing baseballs. And it's I talked about a 252 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: couple weeks ago because I was at his season debut 253 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Josh Young. Josh Young is someone that you guys need 254 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: to pay a little bit more extra attention to if 255 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: you haven't, because he played a couple games in Complex, 256 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: moved up to Triple A, and he is destroying. He's 257 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: destroying at a level where it's a disservice for them 258 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: unless it's manipulation to just continuously keep him down there. 259 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: At this point, let the Rangers use it up in 260 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: the majors. Josh Young hitting three twenty on the season 261 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: with a four hundred OVP and an eight hundred slug 262 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: in that good old three four to eight slash that 263 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: everybody knows about. Seven homers with a stolen base in 264 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: seventeen games or no, I think it's nine game nine 265 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: ten games, but either way, ten of his seventeen hits 266 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: this season have been extra base variety. He had six 267 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: games so far in Triple A. He's hitting four hundred. 268 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna come up this week, but 269 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: I think this is the preemptive move to get your guy, 270 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: get your prospect. The contact ability has really adjusted. He 271 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: looks so much better than he did when I saw 272 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: him here in complex. He's getting the ball up even more. 273 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: The power is going through the roof. He makes immense 274 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: contact and he looks he looks like he d even 275 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: some weight, very athletic. How willing are you to be 276 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: speculative on a guy like Josh Young that you would 277 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: have to eat days? 278 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I wouldn't have any trouble doing that, depending 279 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: on how deep the league is and where I'm at, 280 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 2: if I have the space to kind of hide him 281 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: on my bench. I drafted Johnathan India all over the place, 282 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 2: so I that bench is a little busy right now, 283 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 2: but I would could totally take him at any time. 284 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: So in let's say a twelve team, you could use 285 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: some bat help. But that also means you could use 286 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: some bat help and you could use it now, would 287 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: be willing to drop You know, I'm trying to think 288 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: of like a speculative bat bench guy that comes off 289 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: the top of my head. But like, let's say you 290 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: know you got a relatively shorter bench. Is he the 291 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: type of guy that you would want to have on 292 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: the back because he's going to hit for high contact. 293 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: Are you going to sacrifice a bench spot to maybe 294 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: let's say eat a week a week and a half. 295 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: Would you do that for Young or is it just 296 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: is it just not advantageous because you might you're in 297 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: a potential like playoff ish run. 298 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, depending again, I would do it if the rest 299 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 2: of even in one of my leagues, I think we 300 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: have three bench spots, I would have no trouble dropping 301 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 2: any of the guys I currently have been there for him, 302 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 2: So I'll wait on him. 303 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: Get some Josh Young before you know, pops up. They 304 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: obviously he needs the at bats. I do think he's 305 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: a potential guy for the Arizona Fall League, so they're 306 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: not going to want to exhaust prospect eligibility, but just 307 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: keep an eye out for it. He makes a lot 308 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: of sense. Get him some at bats of the Majors, 309 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: throw him over to the Arizona Fall League for more 310 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: bats since he's missed so much time this year. But 311 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: Josh Young definitely one of the big names as we 312 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: continue to speculate and try to find the next big 313 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: guy that's going to get a call up, because we're 314 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: all having fun with that. This day in Baseball nineteen ninety, 315 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: in Chicago's four two win over Texas, Carlton Fisk Homer's 316 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: offer Charlie Hugh to become the all time home run 317 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: leader with one hundred and eighty seven in White Sox 318 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: history and the all time leader in home runs by 319 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: a catcher at three twenty eight. And when you know it, 320 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: we got more catcher questions here, Kelly, I don't think 321 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: you saw the answer to this because I quickly deleted 322 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: as it posted it. But I have a trivia question 323 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: for you. Francisco Alvarez, speaking of top prospects with the 324 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: New York Mets, is just the third catcher to be 325 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: MLB dot COM's number one overall prospect? Can you name 326 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: the other two? Can everybody name? 327 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: Do you want me to take a guess? 328 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: You're a good guest, so, I mean chat can start 329 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: getting in here. I think Kelly might be able to 330 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: give this, But there were three number one overalls. One's 331 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: gonna probably be pretty easy here, the other one maybe 332 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: not so much. If you think about who would the 333 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: other two number one overall MLB pipeline catching prospects. Number 334 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: one overall? 335 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: Matt Wieters was the only one I could think of, 336 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: But I don't know if that's right. 337 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: That is incorrect? 338 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: All right, I'm off the show. 339 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: Yes, Piazza, and it's a good guest. These are good 340 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: guests in here. I think there's one very very easy one. 341 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: The other one when you know, when you know it, 342 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: you'll be like, oh duh. But I don't think think 343 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: of it as I'm gonna be honest with Waiters. Would 344 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: have been one of the first I would have said, 345 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: one of the absolute first. I would have said here, 346 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: so I don't blame you here. Andrew absolutely nailed it. 347 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: Joe Mauer and Adlei Ruchmand go Cards actually got Retchman first. 348 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: Ali Richman and Joe Mauer were the top Rudmand was 349 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: or Adli Ruschman was their mid season twenty twenty one 350 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: top overall prospects similar to what Alvarez has right now, 351 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: and Joe Joe Mauer was the preseason two thousand and 352 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: four number one overall prospect at catcher. Good guesses, though 353 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: you got like you know, Posey in there and stuff, 354 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: so only so many you could do. But we're looming 355 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: into Oh, you know what, here's a great question. Who 356 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: would you rather speculate on right now? Josh Young or 357 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez in redraft? 358 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: Oh, in redraft in Redraft. I'd rather have Young, but 359 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: like in the Dynasty, I might I might store Alvarez first. 360 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean pitting your catching situation. What makes that tough? 361 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: Like what if you had like an Adlee already? You 362 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: know you would be resigned. I suppose you would be 363 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: resigned to utility if you were to bring up Alvarez. 364 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: But Alvarez as bad as what's going to get him 365 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: in here? And he would DH when he comes up, 366 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: So I kind of agree. I think I would go Young, 367 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: but Alvarez might beat him there. So if anybody is looking, 368 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: those are probably your two biggest guys. Some stat heroes 369 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: from me yesterday Rehys Hoskins three for six, two homers, 370 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: five RBI with a stolen base. That's a combo meal 371 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: and I picked the wrong Philly. Ugh picked the wrong Philly. 372 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: Nick Fortes also had two homers, going three for four. 373 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: Nick Castillanos had a bomb getting on the offensive side, 374 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: Garrett Stubbs with a homer, Julio Rodriguez three for five 375 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: with a home run, Kerry Carpenter with the bomb, Matt 376 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: Olson with a bomb, and Nico Horner. Are you with me? 377 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: Kelly on Carrie Carpenter's little run that's going on here, 378 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: this power output. I feel like every day or every 379 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: other day since his call up, we have said his 380 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: name on this show that he is just putting up stats. 381 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I am totally with you. After yesterday, I 382 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: picked him up because he was still available like Oliver everywhere. Well. 383 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: No, it was a friend of mient Joe Rocca, who 384 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: has a couple great shows. You should go check him 385 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: out on Twitter. Had was nice enough to give me 386 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of love, saying I had never heard 387 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: of Kerry Carpenter before I talked about him, and he 388 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: was a dude that was just really killing it in 389 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: the miners. And as I said yesterday or whatever it 390 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: was two days before that, the only problem was when 391 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: he was like twenty four years old at double A, 392 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: it was kind of like, eh, you know, like let's 393 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: not go nuts about it. But then it's Triple A 394 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: the whole season in he's just consistently been hitting for power, 395 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: hitting over three hundred. Now he's in the majors. In 396 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: a very very short sample size, he's hitting over three 397 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: hundred with two bombs already six hits. Playing some left field, 398 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: he also can be a corner infield type of guy. 399 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: It's a very interesting bat and it's a wild thing 400 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: to think that the Tigers have prioritized him over Spencer Turklesen, who, 401 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: by the way, is hitting sub two hundred in Triple 402 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: A right now. 403 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 2: It's so depressing for me because I mean I loved 404 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 2: Spencer Turklesen. If you look at my best ball drafts 405 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: from January, I think I have him in every single one. 406 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 2: But yeah, so I had never heard of Kerry Carpenter 407 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 2: until you started talking and grabbed him. I dropped Mitch 408 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: Keller in that lead, by the way, but for him, 409 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: so that's a win no matter what I do, I guess, 410 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 2: but yeah, I think he's I think he's a good 411 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 2: pickup right now for sure. 412 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: Well I'd love to see a screenshot of somebody. I mean, 413 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have lined up, but it would just be 414 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: a great thing to just process of seeing, like dropped 415 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: Spencer Torkelsen picked up Kerry Carpenter something we never would 416 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: have imagined. And really, any universe, any of the multiverses, 417 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: I don't think there's many. We're living out the one 418 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: in five fifty million whatever. Doctor Strange, Tony stark versions 419 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: where Kerry Carpenter is overvalued. It's pretty amazing. Charlie Morton 420 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: six and two thirds twelve strikeouts on three hits. Yesterday, 421 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: Nick Pivetta had six strikeouts in seven, Sonny Gray six 422 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: with ten strikeouts only three hits, really good performances. Merle 423 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: Merle Kelly continues to just keep putting up numbers seven 424 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: with seven and yak up on this Jacob Jonas seven 425 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: with seven strikeouts. Do you think Meryll, being on such 426 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: a bad team, needs to be way way more highly 427 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: rated next season when we start to look at ranks. 428 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: He's in that class of like boring pictures. I'd almost 429 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: put him in the same like Adam wainrighty type of 430 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: area where they just make things happen. But there's something 431 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: a little bit different about Meryl. The Dinembacks didn't move him, 432 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: so he's stuck there to get an influx of young guys. 433 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: But do you think Meryl is still crazily underrated? 434 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: I think he's somewhat underrated because again because of the 435 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: team he's on. But yeah, I feel like that consistency 436 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 2: factor for people who aren't going to just sit and 437 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: try to speculate on who the next big thing will 438 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: be or who aren't dazzled by the Striders with the 439 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: eighty four strikeouts and three innings and all of that. 440 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 2: He's such a solid addition to pretty much any rotation 441 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 2: you're trying to build. So he'll be one of those, 442 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: like I'm going to draft the all boring team that's worthy. 443 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: It's it's weird that you become like almost consistently trustworthy 444 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: where he's not one of those guys where you're like 445 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: match up you know, I don't know, I don't know 446 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: about that. It's like, no, you just throw them out. 447 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: He just does it. Emon Gallen have really been a 448 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: good one two punch for my very very loser team 449 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: this year stat zero's and that is my Diamondbacks real 450 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: life team. Maybe not many fantasies. I have some loser 451 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: fantasy teams, but not with Marl Kelly on them, because 452 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: they'd probably be bigger winners that zero's. Gavin lux Oh 453 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: for four four strikeouts, Radley Green Oh for five with 454 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: three strikeouts, Max Munsey with three k's, Colton Wong, Jeff McNeil, 455 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: Jeremy Paine, and Jared Walsh, Matt Chapman all Big three 456 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: k performances for you Yay. On the pitcher side, tj 457 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: zoutch six earned runs, eleven hits given up in four 458 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: Mitch Keller two innings, pitch four earned runs, five hits, 459 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 1: three walks, ach police sack. He gave up four walk 460 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: three only struck out three. We say goodbye to Mitch Keller, 461 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: but we say hello to the home runs. We do 462 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: not have an updated home run. Border is not giving 463 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: it to Kelly. We have a tight race at the top. 464 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: High Cubby got a fran Mill race bomb that was 465 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: also your call you got.

I'm going to lay 501 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: these out and Kelly, I want to know what your 502 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: favorite is. The top top top, Actually the number one 503 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: bet of any bet was one Soto at Miami total basis, 504 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: which is at one. It's actually a half, so you 505 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: just got to get one total base today, but it's 506 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: juiced up. It's at minus one seventy three, so you'd 507 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: have to really really pay up if you want to 508 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: play it. But boy does that one look really good. 509 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: The bet plus money total base one, I love it 510 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: even more. Paul Goldschmidt versus Colorado. It is plus one seventeen. 511 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: You gotta get two total bases on the strikeouts. These 512 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: were actually the top two strikeout bets of the day 513 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: according to the prop cheat sheet over at bettingpros dot com. 514 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: Jake Oodoreizzi versus the Mets was the number one. You 515 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: only need four strikeouts. It's minus one thirty. It's actually 516 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: not horrible. Juice there. The top plus money ross stripling 517 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: versus Baltimore. You also only need four because it's at 518 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: three and a half and you're getting plus money at 519 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: one fifteen. So Sodo Goldschmid total bases. Odorizi's strippling strikeouts. Kelly, 520 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: what's your favorite and if you even like more than one, 521 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: knock it out. 522 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: Well, the one I broke down was Ross Stripling, I 523 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 2: kind of. I just like it because of the plus money. 524 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 2: I wouldn't touch Odo Izzy for anything. I don't think it. 525 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: Could probably put it at point five, and I know 526 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 2: he would get it, and I still wouldn't put money 527 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 2: down for him just. 528 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: Due to one strikeout. You're like, Nope, you're not gonna 529 00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: do it. 530 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: Nope, that's the day. He'll give up nine singles and 531 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: then leave. Yeah, and I think one Soto because they're 532 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: facing Lopez, I believe, and so the righty, the righty lefty. 533 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: I would have no problem with him getting a single. 534 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: I think that's very possible. So I also wrote down, 535 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 2: also wrote down Derek Hall is also at zero point five, 536 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 2: and I know he's facing a lefty, but that lefty 537 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: is Nicolo Dolo, So I think there's you know again, 538 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 2: it's that single and he's been hitting pretty well lately. 539 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: So those halves are really great. I mean, if I 540 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: Fiver was like really dying to play those just halves 541 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: where I need one total base, I'm probably gonna look 542 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: at parlaying. Just give me two. I don't like to 543 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: do big, crazy parlays, but give me two. I tell you. 544 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 1: Maybe Derek hall And and Soto are a parlay. I 545 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: like the Goldie. I like gold Get Goldie in there 546 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 1: at plus money with Soto, have a little bit of fun. 547 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: You're probably gonna get close to two fifty or something 548 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: like that on the money if you want to play it. 549 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 1: And I don't know even screw around with these two 550 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: here with the strikeouts. I mean, I'm not gonna do 551 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: their art easy. I agree with you the ross strippling side, 552 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: but maybe you can find another one. We can do that. 553 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: And yes this was asked about again. I swear to 554 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: you I she hit it. My daughter hid the Princess 555 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 1: Tiara somewhere. But we'll get it. We'll get it at 556 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: some point. You know what I need is I need 557 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: to be like reminded. I need like an out of 558 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: show reminder when my kid gets off of school, to 559 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: be like, where did you hide. It's a great mystery 560 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: of leading off for this year is what happened to 561 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: the Tiara. It was stolen and it has not returned. 562 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: If you're looking for some DFS stuff, if you want 563 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: to take a look at some starting pitchers, I thought 564 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: these were There's a couple of really good money plays 565 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: you can have in here, and then there's some big 566 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: dogs over on Fandal Draftking numbers are not all quite 567 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: out there, but Jordan Montgomery, I guess I just kind 568 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: of been echoing this a lot of Kintana and Montgomery 569 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: with the Cardinals. I just also think it's a good matchup. 570 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: Jordan Montgomery eight seven on Fandel Tyler Molly nine to five, 571 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: and then the big dogs Carlos were done. I gets 572 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks ten to seven and Max Schuerser eleven and 573 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: a half. I also took a look at the run totals, 574 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: and you've got three teams with five implied runs or more, Seattle, 575 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: Texas and the Dodgers. So maybe you want to take 576 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: a look at those for some stacks. You can get 577 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: some of the cheap players in there if you wanting 578 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: to put those together. And that takes us to our 579 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: home run calls of the night. The Wonky bonus is 580 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: twenty seven or younger, and you get an extra point 581 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: for every home run hit. So, Kelly, what are you doing? 582 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: I would love it if you would have been like, 583 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: I'm taking fifty year old pool holes on this show. 584 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: I'm taking elverpool holes today, like, you know, screw my bonus. No, 585 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: I'm going with Vinnie Paescantino. And I do not understand 586 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: why anyone is calling him anything other than Italian Breakfast, 587 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 2: Like I'm seeing all these other little Italian like beef 588 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 2: and Italian names. Yeah, and I'm like, no, no Italian Breakfast. 589 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 2: Hang out there, stay there. So yeah, I think he's 590 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 2: gonna he's facing Molly. But I think if you can 591 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 2: get a hold of one the Winds Book and a 592 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: blow out a little bit in Minnesota today. 593 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: I like that one too. There was a part of 594 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: me that wanted to even look at like Bobby if 595 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: I was going on the young side. But it's just 596 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: not like the best matchup in the world. I'm gonna 597 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: tell you this, and I'll probably regret this. So my 598 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: brain I when I first did it this morning, I 599 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: kind of had a it's gonna be a guy, a 600 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: young guy if you don't pick them the last week 601 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: bonus where I get the extra points of no one 602 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: else's doing it. So I was gonna throw him out, 603 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: and I was gonna be like, all right, that's what 604 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, and it's Shane Lngliers. That was gonna 605 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: be my guy. But then when I noticed it was 606 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: just they need to be twenty seven or younger, and 607 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: they don't need They're not gonna have to be a 608 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: guy that no one else took. I change it and 609 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: I'm going with Julio Rodriguez. So that means Shane Langliers 610 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: will hit a homer tonight and Julio will go over four. 611 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: That's just that's the law of the land. That's how 612 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: that works. Kelly. 613 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: Yes, yep, you might as well put money down on Lengoliers. 614 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: Yep, you might as well. Yeah, exactly, I'm not Lengoliars. Remember, 615 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: go and check it out. I had to quote to you. 616 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: I think like seven people understood my quote tweet yesterday 617 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: when Langliars got a hit and I did the gif 618 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: of the just horror again. The series was horrific, but 619 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: it was awesome at the time of the did you 620 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: watch the a Lengoliers where you would on the Lnglers. 621 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 2: No, because I stayed clear of most of Stephen King. 622 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 2: So as a rule of thumb, yeah, I mean. 623 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: That's pretty good rule of thumb. I appreciate that. I 624 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: think I got my line. Oh, this is a good line, 625 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: doctor Glenn giving me eight innings, five strikeouts, three hits, 626 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: a walk, zero earned runs. This is an al Contra 627 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: like line I'm getting today from my hosting Kelly. Do 628 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: you do you back this lineup? 629 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: I do, but I think it's because you had a 630 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 2: really good pitch framer catch. 631 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, you guys don't understand. Kelly's 632 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: over here. She's like two two, and I'm like, okay, okay, 633 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: I don't shake off Kelly. 634 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 2: Just throw it. 635 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just throw. When Kelly's in here, I throw 636 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: the pitch. I don't shake off Kelly. What do you 637 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: got going on? What do people need to be checking 638 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: out from you? Over either on the Twitter at the 639 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: Wonky Penguin or Fantasy pros. 640 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 2: I've really been into doing lots of retweets on just 641 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 2: insane facts. There was one on franmil Reyes that you 642 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: should just go check it out because it's it's crazy. Yeah, 643 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 2: but otherwise, right now, I think this week is pretty 644 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: light in terms of my having to write because we're 645 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,239 Speaker 2: doing a lot of editing. But I also retreat some 646 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 2: really really funny, little tiny videos to make your day better. 647 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: So I'm good on all sorts of different options. 648 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, for all your entertainment needs. You actually said something 649 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: I was dying to know, and I almost asked when 650 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: you said, like, who was it the picture? You're like, 651 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: you give up nine straight hits or whatever? I would. 652 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: I got me thinking, what's the most singles consecutively that 653 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: a hitter's ever given up?
