But 15 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: that show that I went to over the weekend was fantastic. 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: The Oasis concert was great. I'm glad you and Welsh 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: you got to do a show together and I got 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: to watch it as I was recuperating drinking at Gatorade. 19 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: I got to watch that show. You guys were fantastic together. 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: But it's back to Joe and Bubba time, and we 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: have a lot of fun things to be talking about. 22 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: Starting with a historic performance from Kyle Schwarber. This one 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: was one of the best games I've ever seen. Twenty 24 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: first player in Major league history to hit a four 25 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: home run game. There was no position player home runs 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: here either. He went four for six, drove in nine. 27 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: That was the big number here. Ninety four runs for 28 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: the season, forty nine homers, one hundred and nineteen ribbies, 29 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: ten steals, he's hitting two forty eight. He's been unbelievable again, 30 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: and this has become common for Kyle Schouber now. It 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: seems over the last four years we're getting forty ish homers, 32 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: one hundred runs in Ribbies, and over the last two 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: seasons the batting average has actually been pretty solid. So 34 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: my question for you, Bobb, But first of all, what 35 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on what he did last night? But 36 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: is he a first rounder at this point? Does it 37 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: make sense that he'll sneak into the first round? 38 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: For you? Well, he was a first rounder in the 39 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: meatball draft, so that was pretty insight. But I don't know. 40 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: It's still so tough. It's the old adage. It's a 41 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,919 Speaker 2: utility player, which is a dumb adage, I'll fully admit, 42 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: but I've always been worried about batting average. But he's 43 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: hitting for it for the second straight year. And if 44 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: he can pull that off, stealing bases too, not to mention, 45 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: just absolute, just swarbomb after Schwarbom after shar bomb. He's 46 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: making a great case. Like if people used to like 47 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: jord On Alvarez in the first round, Schworber's better than 48 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: yord On Alvarez. So to long winded way, yes, he's 49 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: probably worth a first round pick at this point, but 50 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: he's gonna be a free agent too, let's see where 51 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: he signs. 52 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: That is also a factor I hadn't really considered, but 53 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: I completely agree at this point. If Jordon Alverrez, if 54 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: you told me he'd play one hundred and sixty games, 55 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: then I might take him. But Schwarber every year lost 56 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: four seasons, one fifty five, one sixty, one fifty. He's 57 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: at one thirty four with a month ago this year. 58 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's the old boring saying, but the best available, 59 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: the best ability is availability. Uh. Now, some people in 60 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: the chat are saying, is he gonna be the MVP 61 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: at this point, I don't think that he's got enough 62 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: juice in terms of like wins above replacement and things 63 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: like that, which can be a little bit unfair to 64 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: a designated hitter type of player. But he doesn't even 65 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: lead his team in wins above replacement. That would actually 66 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: be Trey Turner. I personally think it's gonna be Otwani again, 67 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: bub But do you think it's gonna be another Otani 68 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: MVP here? 69 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: Probably? I do agree with many people out there in 70 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: the chat that Schwarber definitely is worth the discussion. There's 71 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. I'm just pulling up the favorites 72 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: right now. Otani is still a minus one thousand, give 73 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 2: or take, but Shoarber's second at plus five hundred. He's 74 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: closing the gap, as they say, still very large gap. 75 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: I would personally vote for Shwarber. I think he's better, 76 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: having a better season, But you can't deny what Otani does. 77 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: He's just a freak. 78 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have like a truly strong opinion on it. 79 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 1: Schorber's got him beat in terms of homers, in terms 80 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: of RBI, He's actually relatively close in terms of stolen bases, 81 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: which is pretty hilarious. Otani has him in terms of 82 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: the runs, in terms of the batting average. He's also 83 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: starting to pitch, and he's starting to ramp up the innings. 84 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: He threw five innings the other night. So it feels 85 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: like it's gonna be O Tawni. But I wouldn't have 86 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: any problem with them giving it to Kyle Schwarber. Just 87 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: feels like he's got a bit of an uphill roade 88 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: to climb here over the last couple of weeks. As 89 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: we keep it going, let's talk about his teammate. Aaron 90 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: not a great outing. It wasn't terrible. I had some people, 91 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: you know, messaging me saying, oh my god, can I 92 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: just drop Aaron Nola early in the start, and then 93 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: he kind of straightened out the line a little bit. 94 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: Six innings, four earned runs, but three walks and just 95 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: three strikeouts. What's your comfort level going forward on Aaron 96 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: Nola here, baba? His next start is going to come 97 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: at Milwaukee. Doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies right now? 98 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: What do you think about that one? 99 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not an ido start for me by any 100 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: sense of the imagination. He's given up twelve earned runs 101 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: over his three starts coming off the IL that's over 102 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: fourteen and a third innings pitched. That's not going to 103 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: cut it. You got a juggernaut like the brew Crew. 104 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: You know, Nola can maybe find it at any moment. 105 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: But I do not feel comfortable with him at all. 106 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: It has to be a very nice matchup to put 107 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: him out there, so I'd more than likely be sitting 108 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: him against the Milwaukee Brewers. 109 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: I think I agree, And Michael, just to clarify something here. 110 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: When I said the other day that George Springer is 111 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: going to be getting MVP votes, I didn't mean that 112 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: he's going to be getting first place MVP votes. That's 113 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: the clearest thing. 114 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 2: Go down to like seventh. 115 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if you look at the Baseball Reference pages, 116 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: you'll see like MVP eight, MVP ten, whatever it is. 117 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: You stay. Kakuchi got a cy Young vote last year, 118 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: and you can see on his Baseball Reference page it 119 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: says cy Young Award fifteen or something. That's all I 120 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: meant by Springer getting votes. He is by no means 121 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: going to win the American League MVP, as much as 122 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: I would love to see that. Let's talk about one 123 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: of your boys, though, Willia Damas two for four with 124 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: two home runs yesterday against the Cubs, and it's now 125 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: nine home runs over the past thirty days. But it's 126 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: also come with a one thirty one batting average in 127 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: that time, So Daumus has kind of straightened out his 128 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: season a little bit. It was looking pretty rough for 129 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: the first couple of months. But fantasy wise, twenty four homers, 130 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: seventy nine run sixty nine ribi, seven steals hasn't been 131 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: the end of the world. I'll be at a big step 132 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: back from last year. But where do you think he 133 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: stands in the shortstop landscape? At this point? There are 134 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: just so many short stops. It's such a deep position. 135 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: Is he a top ten guy for you? Still? It 136 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: feels like a little bit of a stretch at this point. 137 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: Maybe top fifteen, top ten? Where does he land for you? 138 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: You think he's definitely top fifteen. He's probably around like 139 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: that ten to twelve range, give or take. I got 140 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: to like, really really dig in. But it's a loaded 141 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: landscape to your point, it's a top heavy landscape. The 142 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: drafts last year and then even this early one in 143 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, you see eight nine shortstops going in 144 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: like the first seven rounds, like they just they pummel 145 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: them early and then there's kind of a drop off 146 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: and there's still a good like middle infield tier, if 147 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: that's how you want to go about it. Adamis is 148 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 2: usually like at the end of that top tier beginning 149 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: of the second he somewhere sits in that world. He 150 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: had a very slow start in San Francisco at three 151 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: thirty seven in July, though started to get comfortable. The 152 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: power is starting to show up. Even has a few 153 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 2: steals over the last couple of weeks, which is a plus. 154 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot to be said about new 155 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: big contract, new place, getting comfortable, Devers's hit, and Chapman 156 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 2: is hitting. I think there's a world where you could 157 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: maybe get a little value on Willia Damas to come 158 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: next season. Yeah. 159 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: Just looking at that early draft that you took part 160 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: in last week of the week before, I can't keep 161 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: track anymore. Willia Thomas went as the last pick of 162 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: the eighth round in a fifteen team draft, So I 163 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: don't mind that at all. I think that's a reasonable 164 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: price to pay if you have missed out on some 165 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: of those earlier shortstop targets. I don't mind Willia Thomas 166 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: there at all. It's not Christian Walker a little bit 167 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: another guy who with two home runs yesterday and he's 168 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: been a little bit more productive this month. The batting 169 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: average still down to two forty four, not what you 170 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: really want to see, but over the last thirty days, 171 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: eighteen runs, eight homers, twenty one ribis. It's kind of 172 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: a rude phrase, but the dead cat bounce does happen 173 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: sometimes where a guy is pretty much done and then 174 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: you see either a year or a few months of 175 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: solid production. Is that what we're getting from Walker, just 176 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: this last little HaRav production before he's fully cooked for 177 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: fantasy purposes. 178 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of what it feels like. Another guy, 179 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: new contract, new home. We're seeing things shift in the 180 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: second half of the season. In two fifty nine and 181 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: the second half, the power is starting to come und 182 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: Like he still had power in the first half, but 183 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: we're seeing a much different profile, a lot less striking. 184 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: I had one hundred and three strikeouts in the first 185 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: half of the season, Joe, he only has thirty nine 186 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: so far in the second half. Like, we're seeing a 187 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: much different approach at the plate from Christian Walker. We're 188 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: seeing them the second half, Christian Walker, reason was a 189 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: lot more of the guy what you've seen for years 190 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: in Arizona. I wouldn't be shocked if you have a 191 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: final September makes people get right back in board of 192 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: getting Christian Walker as a top six seven, first basement 193 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 2: at the position that this guy can hit, he wasn't 194 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: going to lose it overnight, and I think this is 195 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: a sign of things to come with him. 196 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, coming into the year, one of my takes, 197 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: which feels horrendous now, is that he has essential the 198 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: same batted ball profile as like the Matt Olsen's, the 199 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo's. He's hitting like a thirteen percent barrel rate, 200 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: fifty percent hard hit rate. That was one of my 201 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: arguments coming into the year, that he's a cheaper version 202 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: of those guys. Didn't exactly work out. But I don't 203 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: know what to think of him exactly. Like next year, 204 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: I feel like you might get a little bit of 205 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: a discount compared to where we've been paying the last 206 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: couple of years, and I might be willing to buy 207 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: into it. But he also got to remember he's gonna 208 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: be thirty five next year, so there's some pros and 209 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: cons with Christian Walker, but I don't think that he's 210 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: fully cooked yet from a fantasy point of view. Let's 211 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: talk about his teammate, though, Jason Alexander, who I've affectionately 212 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: nicknamed Costanza. He had another solid start five and two thirds, 213 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: allowing three ear and runs on seven hits while striking 214 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: out eight and over the last month, it's six starts 215 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: for him to a two forty one ERA, a three 216 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: fifty two x FIP, a one zero four whip, and 217 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: a seventeen point six percent strike up minus walk right. 218 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: Those are all very solid numbers for Jason Alexander. I'm 219 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: kind of interested in him at this point. Now his 220 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: next start comes against the Yankees. It's not my favorite, 221 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: but I feel like I'm probably rolling with him in 222 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: most formats at this point. What about you, Bubba. 223 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 2: Fifteen to one hundred percent rolling with him? Twelve's tbd 224 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: based on what you have, like, he's definitely a more 225 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 2: likely start than others. I got stark him over Aaron Nola. 226 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: Let's just say that the biggest concern I have, and 227 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 2: I've been waiting for this other shoe to drop, is 228 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: the Astros keep getting pitchers back, and it's like Luis 229 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: Garcia is supposed to be coming back Monday or Tuesday 230 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: next week. Lance mccoul has already got moved to the bullpen, 231 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: but they said Lance could start on Monday if Garcia 232 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: is not back. Now, when Garcia comes back, do they 233 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 2: go six man? Do they keep Alexander the rotation? Do 234 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 2: they put er? There's a million moving parts to this. 235 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: There's still a weird a world where Alexander could be 236 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: the odd man out. Weirdly enough, that's just the way 237 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: it works with all these he shouldn't be. I see 238 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 2: you shaking your head. I'm with you. I love what 239 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,599 Speaker 2: we're getting with him. I think he's still one of 240 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: their top three options in that rotation right now. But 241 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 2: we know how money talks, and this is one of 242 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: those deals with the Astros. They want to get guys 243 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: reps for the postseason. They don't care about our fantasy teams. 244 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: Why can't managers care about our fantasy teams a little bit? 245 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: A little bit, just a little bit. It would make 246 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: the summer each year. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Rocko 247 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,359 Speaker 1: ball Deli, I'm looking at you. Let's talk show to Emanaga. 248 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: Strong start against your giants, seven innings, three hoar and runs, 249 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: five hits, five strikeouts, and his season line is fantastic. 250 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: A three zero eight ERA and a point nine to 251 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: three whip for Emanaga. But below the surface, a lot 252 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: of those numbers aren't quite as nice as they were 253 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: last season. Emanaga last year had a twenty five percent 254 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: strikeout rate. It's down to twenty. The whip is lower 255 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: for sure, and the ERA is about the same. But 256 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: he has a four to forty two FIP where it 257 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: was a three seventy two last year. And I remember 258 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: in the preseason there were some people who were saying, 259 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: maybe even in August, not all he's cracked up to be. 260 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: What have you thought about what he's done so far 261 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: this season. He's missed a little bit of time, missed 262 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: a few starts with some injury stuff, but overall the 263 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: results have been great. 264 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been team showeda since he's come around. I've 265 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: had a lot of shares the last two years. He 266 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 2: was battling injuries early this season, and I think he's 267 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: getting healthy Souse. I agree, Like I was part of 268 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: the and O, the swinging strikes down, all these things 269 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: are down. But if you look over his last six 270 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 2: starts that he's loud three and runs or less on 271 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 2: every start. He has a three point zero zero ERA 272 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: over those six starts, with a three to three five 273 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: Sierra and a three six to one x fit much 274 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: better than that season total. He has forty strikeouts and 275 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 2: five walks over thirty nine innings for a pretty good 276 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 2: twenty four point six percent. Katea walk, which is one 277 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 2: thing we love to see, and it comes with an 278 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: eleven and a half percent swinging strike which is an 279 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: upgrade over what we saw early in the season. I'm 280 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 2: a fan of this guy. I think he's very, very good. 281 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: A dominicit two home runs against him on Thursday. That 282 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: was a part of the three runs, so it's like, 283 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 2: if you avoid the log ball, could have been even 284 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: a better start. Obviously he didn't, but my point is 285 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: he has improved as the season has gone along, and 286 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: I think he's a lot better than the overall The 287 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: stat line indicates. 288 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: Okay, that's good. I don't have maybe one or two 289 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: gladiator shares, but I haven't followed his season super super closely, 290 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: so it's good to hear that you're not overly worried 291 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: about mister Imonaga. Let's talk about one more pitcher here 292 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: in the headlines. Brax and Ashcraft could be the next 293 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: line and these great starters that Pittsburgh keeps developing. We'll 294 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: talk about another one later on. But Ashcraft five and 295 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: two thirds against the Cardinals, struck out five just one 296 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: run on four hits, and he has a two fifty 297 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: eight eer and a one fifteen whip. Now for mister 298 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: Braxton Ashcraft, I'm pretty interested in him. It looks like 299 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: his next start, though, Bubba, will come against the Dodgers. 300 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: So how do you weigh that wanting to pick him 301 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: up versus maybe not wanting to start him against the 302 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: Dodgers that next time out. 303 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a great one. Talked about him quite 304 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 2: a bit actually on the Bubba and bloom Fad preview 305 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 2: on last evening when we recorded, because to your point, 306 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: love what he's been doing. Everything's been great. Dodgers matchups 307 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: not ideal. Now if you're in a weekly fab league though, 308 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: like if you're in Yahoo cbso play the game. You're fine. 309 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 2: If you're in a weekly fably like the NPC, go 310 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: get him for a buck or two now, because the 311 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 2: following week he gets at Baltimore and at Washington. That's 312 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: a two step I want in a big way. So 313 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: to your point when your original question is what do 314 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: you do with the Dodger start? You don't start him, 315 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 2: that's just reality of situation. But you stash him now 316 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: to get him cheap for the following week because money 317 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: is very tight in your fab formats. Now, if you're 318 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 2: in a Daily Moves league, you can play those games, 319 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: of course and see where that goes. But yeah, give 320 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: me some brash and ashcraft. I'm very intrigued with fibercine. 321 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: So I won't apply to a lot of people. But 322 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: there are specific leagues like tout Wars, where you pick 323 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: a guy up, you have to start him. Would it 324 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: be worth wearing that Dodger start to you? If that 325 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: meant you got Braxton ashcraft? Would that be worth the 326 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: trade of I would. 327 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: Because, especially if you're referring to say a fifteen a 328 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: deeper league nine, I think you're in a twelve if 329 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: I remember correctly, But again, a fifteen teamer, I see 330 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 2: a world where it's so hard to get pitching out there, 331 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 2: So you wear that one next week? For sure. 332 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: My toe used to be at twelve. But it's been 333 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: bumped up to fifteen. It was what you used to be. 334 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: Also, it was twelve when I was in there, Okay. 335 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they've added a couple people over the year, 336 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: so it's now fifteen. I think I'm in fifth or 337 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: six this year. Not exactly covered myself in glory, but 338 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: not terrible either. Let's talk about some rookies, and there's 339 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: gonna be two of them who are going to be 340 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: getting called up to make their major league debut today. 341 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: Peyton Tall I believe it's Tally, I could be mispronouncing that, 342 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: and Jonah Toong. They are both making their debuts for 343 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: the Red Sox and for the Mets, respectively. Both have 344 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: put up terrific minor league numbers. Specifically, Tong like the 345 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: numbers that he's put up in Triple A, Double A 346 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: and Triple A have been fantastic, but not to put 347 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: anything against Tolly three zero four era with a thirty 348 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: six percent strikeout rate in a sub one whip. Are 349 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: you going all in bubba where you have any fab 350 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: remaining waiver priorities? Like, are you just going all in 351 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: for these two? Do you like what you've seen in 352 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: the minors and are you thinking they're going to have 353 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: success right away. 354 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: They're two of the top ads for sure. Speak another 355 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: couple of names we discussed in depth because like we 356 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: look at the Ryan Makes a minor league leader board, 357 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: we dug in on their numbers because Tlly's both of 358 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: them actually, but Tally started at high eight well all 359 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: the way to TRIPLEA. Tong's had a similar assent this year, 360 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: so they they've pitched at different levels. But in Tali 361 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: you got almost a thirty one percent k to walk, 362 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: which is insane, with a massive swinging strike rate, and 363 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: he has a ball rate below thirty four percent on 364 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: every level, which is outstanding for a young pitcher. Like 365 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: for a guy that strikes out that much, to have 366 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: that kind of command is just phenomenal stuff. And not 367 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: to mention, he's got a lip rug from the gods 368 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: and he's a big beef. He lefty, so he's got 369 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: my heart through and through. And then he got Tong's 370 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: another guy with a massive swinging strike rate, ground ball 371 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: rates around fifty to fifty two percent. Both elite arms. 372 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: It just comes who sticks in the rotation type thing. 373 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: Both have great cases like Tong get Clay Holmes out 374 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 2: of there done easy, easy switch now Trevor the Tyler 375 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 2: McGill's coming back soon. Keep that in mind. But then 376 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: you got Peyton Tali and again I don't know if 377 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: I'm saying right either. I apologize, but there's no reason 378 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: and he shouldn't stick in that rotation either. He's better 379 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: than a few. Richard fitz is out. They apparently don't 380 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: like Kyle Harrison, so I like both of them. I 381 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 2: think they're both premium ads this week, especially if we 382 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 2: know they're sticking around for a few weeks. 383 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. I haven't minded Kyle Harrison as like a stash type. 384 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: It looks like his last couple of voutings and the 385 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: Miners have gone a little bit better, so I am 386 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: stashing him in one or two leagues. But I think 387 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: Tally and Tong, especially these matchups that they get to 388 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: debut with. It's not exactly some tough matchups. It's the 389 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: Pirates and it's the Marlins. Marlins are not as bad 390 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: as they have been, I guess, but that's a pretty 391 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: nice landing spot for your first career start. So rooting 392 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: for both of them, especially Jonah Tong, who's from about 393 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: thirty minutes north of me here in markam Ontario. Let's 394 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: talk about Bubba Chandler. Though he's made two appearances now, 395 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: his total eight innings, he's struck out six. He's picked 396 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: up a win and a save. In the conference of 397 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: Bubba's between yourself, Bubba Chandler, Bubba Watson, whoever else is 398 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: in this big Bubba group? What have you come to 399 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: on Bubba Schamp? Is he somebody that you are starting 400 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: regardless of format? Is he somebody that it's you know, 401 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: format dependent only in deeper leagues, because I'm kind of 402 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: at the point where I'll just start him. Even in 403 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: my ten team league, my home league, I'm starting him. 404 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: The results have been good so far, but I don't 405 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: really know if you have a tough decision to make 406 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: on starting him in a given week. He's a tricky 407 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: one to figure out because he's not actually starting. But 408 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: the results have been good. It's a bad team. What 409 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: do you make above a Chandler. 410 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 2: I've been starting him at least this week because it's 411 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 2: been much the first week I've had a chance to 412 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: start him, and it's because they're using him as a piggyback. 413 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: If they keep using as a piggyback. That's all we want. 414 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 2: It's like our hopes and dreams all in one basket. 415 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 2: If he's going to go throw four innings, they have 416 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 2: a chance to win, maybe get some strikeout. Strikeouts have 417 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: been lower than I expected, I'll be honest, But he's 418 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: getting your ratios, he's getting you what you need. So 419 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: I'm starting him as long as he's not piggyback role. 420 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: If that changes, obviously things change, Like if we know 421 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 2: he's going to pitch two innings, that stinks. If he's 422 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: going to start and not go five plus, that stinks. 423 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 2: There's levels to this, But right now, with the role 424 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 2: that we are aware of, I am starting him. 425 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the right play. Just start him 426 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: unless you have a bunch of better options in a 427 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: weekly league or in your daily leagues. I guess you're 428 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: just starting him in daily leagues right now, no matter what. 429 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: That's kind of where I'm at with Bubba Chandler. Before 430 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: we keep it going, though, I want to remind you 431 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: guys that we are still giving away these signed Billy 432 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: Wagner Hall of Fame jersey that's from our friends over 433 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: at Pristine Auction, and it's very, very easy to get 434 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: your hands on it.

But 441 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: let's take a couple of your questions here in the chat. 442 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: Tong or Tlly for tonight. I think it's Tong. I 443 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: think that would be the way I would go with it. 444 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: But I think they're both starts pretty much wherever you 445 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: can get your hands on them. 446 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 2: Yep, they're both in great matchups Eileen Tong as well, 447 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: but both phenomenal spots. 448 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: How serious should we take Harrison Bader's hot streak in 449 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: a stacked lineup? I like Harrison Bader. I think he's 450 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: a solid player. Now, if you're in a super shallow 451 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: ten team three outfielder league, he's probably a borderline guy. 452 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: But most cases, I think you can you can start 453 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: him pretty comfortably. What do you think, Bubba? 454 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: Yep, I'm with you as a twelve team and deeper 455 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: they have a great schedule coming up here with with 456 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 2: the Twins. So yeah, keep rolling Harrison Bader living it up. 457 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: I'm sorry he's not on the Twins anymore. I apologize, 458 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: but yes, keep rolling Harrison Bader out there. 459 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: When you said that, though, my brain was like, yeah, yeah, 460 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: he's on the Twins Stough, but no he is. He 461 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: is a Philly and we're all grateful for that. So yes, yes, Minnesota, 462 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: and not so much these days. Cherio coming back soon hopefully. 463 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: Who do I drop my outfield and utility is Soto? 464 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: Profar Adele, Doyle, Yandy Dias, Chandler Simpson, O'Neill Cruz. You're 465 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: in pretty good shape there, my friend. Am I crazy 466 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: to drop O'Neil Cruz? He dropped? He offers stolen bases 467 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: and not much else. I don't think you're crazy. I 468 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: think it's fine, as crazy as that does feel to say, 469 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: I think you can drop O'Neil Cruz. 470 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: You can drop him. I've been sitting him on the 471 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 2: idea bait, dropping him every weekend in my fab leagues. 472 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 2: So because he doesn't play every day, he doesn't do 473 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 2: anything at all right now, So yes, you can trump him. 474 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: A man it's tough, but I think I agree Joe 475 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: G friend of the show, which to start Luis Morales 476 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: A's or at Saint Louis or Gavin Williams home versus Seattle. 477 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: I probably go with Gavin Williams. He's really turned things 478 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: around recently, but Morales is coming off of a couple 479 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: of decent starts as well. But I think I'm going 480 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: Gavin Williams will. 481 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: Make this fun for you. Jo G, I'm going Morales 482 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 2: It's been three really good starts for him, and Saint 483 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: Louis is hitting under two twenty the last month versut writing, 484 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 2: so striking out over twenty six percent. They've been horrific 485 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 2: at the plate. 486 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, Saint Louis, man Like, that's a team where I 487 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: grew up. Every year Saint Louis was a good ball 488 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: club every single year. It's ninety two wins, ninety six wins, 489 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: ninety one wins, whatever, and they are very far from that. 490 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: I actually saw it was a tweet. I think it 491 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: was Buster only or somebody said it recently that they 492 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: were under twenty thousand at Bush for the first time ever. 493 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: So they need to they need to start figuring some 494 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: things out. What are your taste on Michael King when 495 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: he comes back. I don't think there's a ton I 496 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: heard you guys talking about the other day. Welsh thinks 497 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: that he's kind of a rite off this year. I'm 498 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: a little more optimistic, but I don't think that he 499 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: is necessarily a must roster player in those shallow leagues. 500 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: Where are you at on Michael King? 501 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 2: Bubba? Same thing? Like he's still gonna throw a simulated game. 502 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 2: We're hoping to have him back by the end of 503 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 2: next week. There's still a lot of hope and prayer 504 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: when it comes to Michael King. He's made what two 505 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: starts since his first injury. I'm taking it really with kids' 506 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 2: gloves when it comes to Michael King, Yeah. 507 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 1: I think I agree Walker or Andrew Vaughn. I think 508 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: I'll go Christian Walker. I think we got a good 509 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: production out of Vaughan. You take it, you move on, 510 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: But I don't think we should keep beating that dead horse. 511 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: What do you think? 512 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: I'm with Walker as well. I love that Vaughan's doing. 513 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 2: I'm still starting him for now. They're giving him reps 514 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 2: at third base before games, and they start moving him around, 515 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 2: and I hate when I see players move around, it 516 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 2: affects him at the plate. 517 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: They're doing that with Andrew Vaughan. 518 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 2: Because he used to play at third base back in college. 519 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: So like they're doing that because Reeese Hoskins is coming back. 520 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: Gives me flashbacks to Jose Abray You being signed and 521 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: Vaughan going to the outfield and doing nothing for three years, 522 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, maybe it's because they switched his position. 523 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: He's not a natural. 524 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: Well that's why I saw that on Twitter yesterday and 525 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, there goes the run we had boys, 526 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 2: it was. 527 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: Fun, unbelievable. Well, I mean, if you picked him up 528 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: and you got a good even if you got like 529 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: half of that, you got a really, really nice couple 530 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: weeks of corner infield production. Tali or Luise Heel. Louis 531 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: Heels probably the safer answer, but I feel like I 532 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: cheot for the upside with Tlly. 533 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: If Tali stuck sticks in the rotation, I take Tolly 534 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 2: all day for the strikeout episode. 535 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so, all right, a couple more for 536 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: now and then we'll get back to them at the end. 537 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: Baier or Chandler Simpson, I think it's probably better. But 538 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: unless you really need speed. Yeah, beater for sure, as 539 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: Salem must started. Do we sit him against the pills? 540 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: I think i'd probably start him. If you've been holding 541 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: on to him for this long, you know, I'd probably 542 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: send him out there. 543 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 2: If you're stashing the sale, you're taking every inning you 544 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: can get it, so you're starting him. 545 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, any spiece to or stream when trying to prioritize ratios, 546 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: anybody off the top of your head. But I know 547 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: it's a really open ended question, but any top of 548 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: the mind sp ads. I mean the rookies, right, if 549 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: we're talking about the rookies, Tong and Tali, they are 550 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: guys that you should be adding. Those are the It's 551 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: very hard to answer the question like that. Jason Alexander, 552 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: like we talked about, has been on a pretty good run. 553 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: That Yankee starts a little scary. How about this one, 554 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: Ryan Berger. He's had some really good starts with Sannabite 555 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: and he gets the Angels his next time up. So 556 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: I think that that's probably a pretty decent way to 557 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: go if you're looking for some streaming help at the moment. 558 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: Let's get back to the show sheet for now, and 559 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: let's do the three up and three down, and coincidentally enough, 560 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: I didn't remember I'd done this, but Harrison Vader is 561 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: the top of the three up and three down, four 562 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: for five yesterday with three runs it was it was 563 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: nonsense going on yesterday with nineteen run scored. I believe 564 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: Lars Newbar went three for four. He's been pretty good 565 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: over the last week or so. Good to see him 566 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: have some productive games. And Kyle Freeland, who I always 567 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: papoo Kyle Freeland. There's never really anything good to say 568 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: about him or any Rockies pitchers. But six innings, three 569 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: earned runs with six strikeouts against Houston. I think you 570 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: got to give him his due there. That's a pretty 571 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: good outing. Cal Quantrell man nine earned runs, including four 572 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: homers over three and a third against the Phillies. There 573 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: was actually times this year it's gonna sound absurd to 574 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: say now where Cale Quantrell was a pretty decent streamer. 575 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: I remember hearing it from you guys. I remember looking 576 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: at his numbers at certain points and being like, it's 577 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: not too bad. It's really not too bad for Kyle Quantrell. 578 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: But man, I don't think I don't think there's any 579 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: trusting him at this point. Baba I mean, is there 580 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: any any world where you'd stream Cayl Quantrill going forward? 581 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 2: Cal Quantrell's gone full Austin Gomber where it looked good 582 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 2: at one point in time. 583 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: But Cyonara, I think so too, Polities from my camera, 584 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: he keeps falling off the top of my computer. Here, 585 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: I'll continue with the down Jose Quintana seven earned runs 586 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: over three innings against the d Backs, and then Nolan 587 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: Gorman over four with three strikeouts yesterday. Let's talk about 588 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: some of the injuries though. Corey Seeker will undergoing appendectomy 589 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: and will be out indefinitely. I didn't hear a specific timeline, 590 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: but indefinitely for me at this point of the year, 591 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't expect to see him again in twenty twenty five, 592 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: almost a twenty twenty four Jesus mother, what do you 593 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: think though, he's done. 594 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he's done. You start tearing apart muscles 595 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: to te have a surgery, it's usually at least four 596 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,479 Speaker 2: to six weeks, if not more, so I'd say he's done. 597 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. Just a tough blow for the 598 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: Rangers if they had thought that they were you had 599 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: a chance to sneak in here with the Evaldi and 600 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: see here, that's really not looking good for them. Chase 601 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: Burns scheduled to throw a bullpen on Saturday. Yaner Diaz 602 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: has miss three consecutive games as he continues to manage 603 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: a hand injury by But you are the catcher whisper, 604 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: what do you think about Diaz a season as a whole? 605 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: Will you buy back into him next year? There's been 606 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: some productive points, but he's going to fall short of 607 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: that draft day cost. 608 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. He's doing the second half comeback like he did 609 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: last season, So he's got me very interested. I will 610 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 2: still buy Indian Ardaz next year. Maybe not as high, 611 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 2: but I'll be very very interested. He got hit by 612 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: a pitch on this one, and he's hopefully coming back 613 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 2: this weekend. But I like what I've seen in the 614 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: second half the season. 615 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Catcher, I mean I've said this, talked about with 616 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: Paul and Justin, talked about with Walsh. Catcher is very deep. 617 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: You must be a very happy man looking at the 618 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: catcher pool. 619 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,479 Speaker 2: It's very deep till you get about ten or eleven 620 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 2: and then it drops off a cliff. So don't get 621 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: too excited too quick on that one, Okay. 622 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: I haven't done a full deep dive, but just looking 623 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: at like the Augustine and Ramirez is the Caros the Baldwins. 624 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 2: Because the problem is is we're losing Wilson, Concers, We're 625 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: losing Von Herrera. We're losing a couple guys that were 626 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: catchers this year that won't be next year. 627 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: Losing Herrera is brutal, like that one. No one saw 628 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: that coming and it just injury based. But I've loved 629 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: Yvon Herrera this year. It's unfortunate. I mean, there's no 630 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: chance that he gets to like, what is it six 631 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: more games, would have to be an injury or something 632 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: to payaz. Yeah, I think that. I'm just dreaming. I'm 633 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: just wish casting. 634 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 2: It'd be great. 635 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: Evan Carter transfer to the sixty day IL and will 636 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: miss the remainder of the season. Really really tough career 637 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: for him after that breakout kind of a couple of 638 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: months in twenty twenty three in the World Series Heroics 639 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: and everything, it's been a bit of a tough run 640 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: for him. Trevor McGill placed on the fifteen day IL. 641 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: So Abner your Rebay, He's gonna be the guy that 642 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: I'm bidding on this weekend where I need saves anybody 643 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: else in Milwaukee? Or do you think it's your rebase 644 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: job there, Bubba, it should. 645 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: Be at rebase. Shelby Miller might get a little love 646 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 2: here and there, which should be Abner a rebas job. 647 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. Francisco Alvarez suffered 648 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: a broken pinky from a hit by a pitch during 649 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: his rehab assignment. But it's hopeful to play again this season. 650 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm not really counting on it. I think you can 651 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: probably move on from Francisco Alvarez unless it's a very 652 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: very deep league, Bubba. 653 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. Best he's back to like last week of the season, 654 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 2: so I'm pretty much out on that one. He was 655 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 2: already going to play through a ligament in his thumb 656 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 2: injured and AF surgery in the offseason. Now a broken finger, 657 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 2: I'm out. 658 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Unfortunately, it's just kind of a tough career, tough 659 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: first couple of years of his career with injuries and 660 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: some disappointments. There has been great stretches from Alvarez. It'll 661 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: probably have some great seasons, but man, I just wish 662 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: you could stay on the damn field point. Pavin Smith. 663 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: Peven Smiths will likely be headed to the aisle with 664 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: Quad Titaness and Miguel Vargas. This one looked kind of 665 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: ugly yesterday. I didn't see if there was any follow up, 666 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: but I was watching this game. He had a grand slam, 667 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: but then he had a collision with Aaron Judge at 668 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: first base. That's a lot of man running at you 669 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: and ben in your wrist back, so I hope that 670 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: he is all right. Didn't see any further updates on 671 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: that one, but that will bring us to the best 672 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: bets of the day and I'm going with the straight 673 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: over and unders today. Those are the ones that look 674 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: most appealing under Blue Jays and Brewers. Seven and a 675 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: half runs. I know that it is a low number 676 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: and it might worry some people, but the pitching matchup 677 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: we got going on tonight is gorgeous. We got Shane Bieber, 678 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: we got Freddy Peralta. That is something that screams under 679 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: to me. So I'm taking that one. Marlins and Metz. 680 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: We've talked about this one already a little bit today 681 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: with Jonah Toong. But on the other side of that 682 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: one is Yuri Perez, So I'm really liking the under 683 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: as well at even money, and then Angels and Astros 684 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: over nine runs. This one again just even money plus 685 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: one hundred. But it's when I look at the pitchers here, 686 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: Tyler Anderson, who has been unexceptional this year, and Christian Javier, 687 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: who has kind of struggled as well in his return. 688 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: So under for Blue Jays and Brewers, under for Marlins 689 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: and Mets, and over for Angels and Astros. Bobby, what 690 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: do you have for the people on this fine Friday? 691 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 2: A lot of bad pitching today? You picked like a 692 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 2: couple games that actually has good pitching for your unders. 693 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 2: The rest of them not great. I'm gonna stick with 694 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 2: that juggernaut you mentioned. The war leader for the Phillies, 695 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: Trey Turner over three hits runs in RBS at plus 696 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 2: one twenty leading off against Bryce Elder. Should get on 697 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 2: base a few times to be able to make some 698 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: damage happen. Trent Grisham twenty seven home runs this year. 699 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: Joe would have lost a lot of bets on that one, 700 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 2: A lot of bets he goes up against. I came 701 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 2: and pronounced his first name. Gomez of the Chicago White 702 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 2: Sox over three hits runs of ys at plus one 703 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: forty five. Absolutely love that one as well. And then 704 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 2: a guy we're gonna talk about a little bit later 705 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 2: as well, And we talked about him earlier and you 706 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 2: took the over in this game. Christian Walker is hot. 707 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: Christian Walker has the Crawford boxes. Christian Walker fakes a 708 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 2: lefty and Tyler Anderson, and Christian Walker loves facing lefties. 709 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 2: I know Tyler Anderson has reverse splits, don't care, he's 710 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 2: got new dad strength. Don't care. Christian Walker over three 711 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 2: hits runs RBIs plus one sixty. I'll be mentioning him 712 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 2: again very shortly. 713 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: I like it. I like all of it, Bubba. I 714 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: always like your bets. The hits, runs and RBIs are 715 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: always very intriguing to me.

But where are you going for your home run? 722 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: Call tonight? Who is screaming your name? I think I 723 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: have a little bit of an idea before we get there, though. 724 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: The home run board, we have Bees at fifty five, 725 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: and hold on a second, I thought positive Grouch is 726 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: at the top, but it looks like Bees may have 727 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: had a Kyle Schwarber or something going on here, because 728 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: unless I'm mistaken, but I thought positive Grouch to on 729 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: Monday last I remember that's what I thought too. Don't 730 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: shame me, Yeah he will. I think that's screaming Kyle Schwarber. 731 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: But you're still right there at fifty four and second. 732 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: Whips at fifty four as well, tied for second, and 733 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: George is also tied for second at fifty four, with 734 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: the Fisher King still in fifth. This one's gonna be 735 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: pretty interesting to follow down the stretch. Well, she I know, 736 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: also has Kylin Scharber in perpetuity, so he actually pulled 737 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: a head of mister Joe Piezapia yesterday. Very interesting to 738 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: follow that one. I believe Joe has Cayl Rawley in perpetuity, 739 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: so those should both be fun to follow. Baba, I 740 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: have a feeling I know where you're going with the 741 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: home run call today. Let's hear it. 742 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 2: YEP, five home runs in the last seven games double 743 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 2: donged yesterday. Give me all of the Christian Walker into 744 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: the Crawford boxes on Friday evening, I'm. 745 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: Gonna go with mister Shoho Tani. I'm taking the lowest 746 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: hanging fruit possible. I know, I'm very exciting, but show 747 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: Heyo Tani against Zach Allen, who has been just miserable, 748 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: just truly miserable. I'm not asking a lot here from show. Hey, 749 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: I think he'll probably be able to get one out, 750 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: but that will bring us to the end of the show. Here, 751 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, really appreciate everybody hanging out. I want 752 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: to remind you guys that next Monday there is no 753 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: show because it's Labor Day.
