7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: Crackerjacks, all of you hanging out with us. Yesterday was

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: a fun show.

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: If you missed it, you should go back and watch.

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna tell you why, but it's educational. It

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: was brought to you by the letter E and the

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: number seven. That's what it was brought to you by.

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: And Welsh.

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of educational, we want to educate the people today

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: we have some baseball talk about more specifically. We've got

16
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 2: some guys too that are really performing outstandingly at the

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: very top of the board here in a lot of categories.

18
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: But I have this terrible feeling that it's just not

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: gonna last very long, and I want to start with

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: one of them, because it's hoeesel Aair another.

21
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: Home run yesterday.

22
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: I know he's got twenty. I know we're all very

23
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: excited about jorgeeseil Air and you've.

24
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: Been calling this one. You were on this one done

25
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: in dead a little bit ago, you still sat it down.

26
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: I'm saying, trade him, and I'll tell you why. I'm

27
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: looking at the numbers, continuing to look at, you know,

28
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: the deeper stats on him, and look, I do I

29
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: think he's going to continue on to this pace. No,

30
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: I mean I'm looking at all of his career numbers

31
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: before the show, just kind of digging into stuff, and

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: I keep saying, this is a player. I mean, like,

33
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: like the ISO's at three h five, Okay, like he's

34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: got a lot of power. Last year, you know what

35
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: the ISO was, well for him, it was one ninety three.

36
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: I just thin that's a tough sell for me. The

37
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: BABIT right now is at two seventy five. That's a

38
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: pretty high number for him last year, you know, two

39
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: fifty to sixty, you know, like that's kind of the

40
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: range for him, you two fifty six, two fifty Really

41
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: that's kind of more where he's been. But I don't know,

42
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: I've just seen a lot of horeso Laier in my

43
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: life in thirty one. I just don't know if I'm

44
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: buying a full season breakout. I think you get the

45
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: best of both worlds because if you trade him now,

46
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: his value is at its peak, and if it sustained, okay,

47
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: you missed out on it. But if you can get

48
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: something really good back in this deal, why not try

49
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: to do that because you're mitigating your risk of him

50
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: reverting back to just that ordinary swing and miss guy

51
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: that he's been for the majority of his career.

52
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I get the logic of what you're

53
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: saying here. I don't one hundred percent know like what

54
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: you get, and I don't I hate to always like

55
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: get into this and call it like that. What is

56
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: the trade dead zone thing? I just don't know if

57
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: anyone's giving up what's worth getting rid of him? Right now?

58
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: His big split is lefties. He's destroying lefties this year,

59
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: hitting three thirty three and only fifty four at bats.

60
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: He has nine of his twenty homers off of lefties.

61
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: He's hitting only two thirty six against righty so that

62
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: obviously has been the big weird split. The things I

63
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: love are the high He's made huge big changes on

64
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: his barrel percentage. It's the second highest of his career,

65
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 3: to go along with a hard hit percentage, which is

66
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: higher than last year. His k's are down from last year,

67
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: and then obviously expected stats are through the roof as

68
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: far as you know the ex blh blah blah blah

69
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. But again I would point to, like,

70
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: what does the trade look like. I think Jorge Silaire

71
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: is going to push forty homers this year. I also

72
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: think it's going to be up and down. I think

73
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: he's going to have some really aggressively frustrating swings throughout

74
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: the year. But what can you get for him? If

75
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: you can, I'm always interested. I would listen, but I

76
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 3: just don't know what anyone's gonna pay is going to

77
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: be worthwhile to get rid of so lair And maybe

78
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: he's just going to do this the rest of the year, because,

79
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: like I said, if that barrel percentage was really low

80
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: with the hard hit and the strikeouts were up, I'd

81
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: be a little bit more dicey, But it ain't. And

82
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: he's destroying lefties and he's gonna keep destroying lefties throughout

83
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: the I think he's one of the top home run

84
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: slug guys against lefties and all of baseball.

85
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: Okay, well, Bryce Harper's been underwhelming this year. Would rather

86
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: Jorge Solai or Bryce Harper rest of season?

87
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: Well, Bryce Harper, okay, but.

88
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: I mean if you have Bryce Harper, you're kind of

89
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: frustrated right now.

90
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: You haven't quite.

91
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: Gotten what you expected, even though you got him back

92
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: way sooner than you inspect.

93
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: Someone will give me Bryce Harper for so Laire, I'll

94
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: send them an edibles.

95
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, here's another one. What about Giancarlos Stanton

96
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: rest of season or Jorge Hilaire more similar in terms

97
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: of what kind of player they are.

98
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: Let me look at Stanton's stuff. I don't. I haven't

99
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: paid attention to say, let me.

100
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Check out Stanton's stuff. Well, well, she looks at Stanton's stuff.

101
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: We'll talk about Uri Perez, who threw six shutout innings yesterday,

102
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: six strikeouts, boughta being in the win over the Mariners. Check,

103
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: we got that one yesterday on the betting side of things.

104
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: Another guy I want to get to is Michael Walker.

105
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: I want to talk about him too. Is another guy

106
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: to thirty one year old breakouts? That's what today's shows

107
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: all about. So so Laire or gian Carlos Stanton? Who

108
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: would you rather have?

109
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, well, there's probably more injury risk. With Stanton.

110
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: I mean, underlying stuff works pretty in favor of Stanton.

111
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: He's actually striking out the lowest of his career right now,

112
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: which is nice, but the sample size of what he's

113
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: actually played is down. I don't know. I guess I'm

114
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: gonna say Stanton XBA is also like forty points higher.

115
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: But I think it's pretty close to those guys. And

116
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: if you wanted to say, I saw someone in the

117
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: chat was like, I'll take Solaire, I actually don't didn't

118
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: necessarily disagree, like that's a bad take because he is

119
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: at the middle of that order. He's not coming out

120
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: I think I'm I'm like one A, one B on that.

121
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a good conversation.

122
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: Let's have a conversation about Michael Waka six and two

123
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: thirds innings yesterday, five k's on the year, Welsh two

124
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: eight nine era A one point zero six whip, sixty

125
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: nine k's and seventy four innings. It's been magical for

126
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: Michael Waka this year. But it's got to run out,

127
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: doesn't it. I mean, can we really buy into Michael Waka?

128
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: Who has It's been years. It seems like someone gotten

129
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: a full healthy Michael Waka season.

130
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: That was good. He's had some good one off.

131
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: Starts here and there, but the last couple of years,

132
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: I mean this is this might be one of the

133
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: most surprising things of Major League Baseball to me this

134
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: year is Michael Waka sitting here as a guy that

135
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: you've been starting every single week for the last few

136
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: weeks because he's been really solid. But I can't imagine

137
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: when we're seventy four, seventy five innings in now to

138
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: Michael Waka. This has got to be the time to

139
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: get out of the Michael Michael Waka business, isn't it.

140
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Waka Waka, we're getting into the Waka. I said this,

141
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: We talked about him on CBS last night. I want it.

142
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit red Baron. Look at red Baron. Waka.

143
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: Is this year's Martin Perez.

144
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 3: That's well, oh no, that's a really good one there,

145
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: except with strikeouts. Walka like Walk had a bad.

146
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: Perform under Ker nine.

147
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: But I hear you yesterday was a bad perform, a

148
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: bad underlying performance for Waka over a mile per hour

149
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: down on like every single pitch that's worrisome, except Waka's

150
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: change up has been absolutely elite. If you watch that thing,

151
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: it just it floats. It's like, oooh, these guys can't

152
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: hit it. It has a thirty six percent wiff rate

153
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: this season, which I think is great. He's not giving

154
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: up a whole lot of hard hits, he's getting more

155
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: chases because of that change up, and he's kind of

156
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: dominating the zone. So is he gonna have a two

157
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: eight ninety RA this year? Hell no.

158
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: But do you want to guess what his X ERA

159
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: is right now?

160
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: I think I already saw it. It's like four point

161
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: zero three ninety.

162
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: You want to guess what his x FIP is? Four

163
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: four point four two? You want to guess what his

164
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: X plug is?

165
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, suck it, That's what I think it is. But again,

166
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: like he's gonna regress a little bit back more to

167
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: the means, But I think he's gonna get away with

168
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff. He's gonna pick up wins with

169
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: that great offense. If you can live with him as

170
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: like a three to five guy, I think here's the difference.

171
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: I think you could roster him the rest of the

172
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: way through and feel good if someone wants to pay

173
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: up for a two eight ninety RA walka sure, listen

174
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: to that, But what does a trade look like? So

175
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: I think the smart plays, Hey, yeah, get out of

176
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: the walka business because the rest of the season might

177
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: be rougher than what you've already had. But I don't

178
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: think Waka is going to turn into a pumpkin and

179
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: we're gonna be cutting him for the next whoever the

180
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: hell is coming up. I think he'll be actually above

181
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: streamable or at worst, he's going to be a streamable

182
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: pitcher the back end of the year. So you decide

183
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: what that means for your own roster.

184
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: I would be looking to move Michael Waka right now

185
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: for what do it? Whatever I can get, because I

186
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: know he's going to be there.

187
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, not anything, But I mean, I really put it

188
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: to you this way.

189
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 2: If I've got a surplus of pitching and Michael Waka

190
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: is one of them, right, Let's say I really like

191
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: my starting five, and I've got some other pitchers that

192
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: I really like on my roster, and I've got Michael

193
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: Waka because I picked them up off the waiver wire

194
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: this year. And if I can help myself in the offense,

195
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that. If I can help myself with

196
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 2: a closer situation. Absolutely with a guy that I think

197
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: is going to be closing games.

198
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: Right Kyle Finnigan. Like someone offers you Kyle Finnegan.

199
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: To get or somebody like that, like I'm.

200
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 3: Gonna trade you Bednar for him? No way, I don't know.

201
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I'm just saying starting pitching

202
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: has been rough this last month.

203
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: You know you're right between the between the Verlander and

204
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: Surrezer implosions. Manoah, Jacob de gram Ser Strider, who were

205
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: going to talk about a little bit later on the show.

206
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: He hasn't been great. Here's Sandy al Contra, Pablo Lopez.

207
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: Shall I go on? Starting pitching is a problem right now?

208
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: Here's an interesting one. Tim actually inadvertently did this. What

209
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 3: if someone was like, ooh, jose Bray you is starting

210
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 3: to get going, I need to get out, and they

211
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: offer jose A Bray you for Walker right now?

212
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I do that one I would do that.

213
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: I would do that.

214
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: I think I think a Bray who's turning around in

215
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: a great way, that that's what.

216
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: Seems like he is. He seems like he is turning

217
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: around a great way.

218
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: But I think that there's I mean, I'm not saying

219
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: you're trading him up for another starting pitcher straight up,

220
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: because I know that's a difficult sell, like that cell

221
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: that I understand. But if you look at what's going

222
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: on right now in the league, it's been rough out there.

223
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: Look at question the chats turning on you, Joe Walkee's question,

224
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: why are people going to trade decent pictures when it

225
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: has been rough?

226
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: They're going to trade recent pitchers that are pitching well

227
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: above their head because that's how you win leagues, because

228
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: what you do is you make sure that you the

229
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: assets you have. You have some hard conversation with yourself

230
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: and you say to yourself self, so it's really overperforming,

231
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: that should not be this good. And then you look

232
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: at the deeper metrics on Michael Waka. When does that

233
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: four four nine x fIF catch up to that two

234
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: eight nine era soon? So do you want to be

235
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: on that crap handle of it? No, you don't want

236
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: to be on that handle of it. You want to

237
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: be on the right handle of it. And I'm just

238
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: telling you I think, like, for instance, if you if

239
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 2: you can get Mike Hunter Green, I would take Hunter

240
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: Green rest of season. Hunter Green quietly been really good lately,

241
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: except the era is still above four and you're looking

242
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: at it, and I think that's a deal that you

243
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: can make. So I'm just throwing that out there.

244
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 3: I actually think the Jose of bray You one is

245
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 3: the interesting one.

246
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: That's been a bad one too.

247
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: Three twenty seven in June already three homers, which is

248
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: three times what he's had the rest of the way

249
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: through one slug.

250
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: Who Yeah, everyone, everyone seems to agree with you about

251
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: the Abrayo.

252
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: Thing in the that's that's like a fun tricky one,

253
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: like you're selling a little bit of a better player

254
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: that you think is going to regress for someone you

255
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: think is going to come back. It's all about confident.

256
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: Brandon Nimmo had some confidence, delivered a game winning RBI,

257
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: screwed up my Hi parla yesterday with the Yankees, but whatever,

258
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 2: go ahead, Brandon Imo, go get yourself some. Garrett Cole

259
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: did record eight strikeouts though in six things, so I'm

260
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: cash nailed that one. But Garrett Widlock is another one too.

261
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Garrett Wodlock for a second.

262
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: Now.

263
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: This is a picture that I've invested in the last

264
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: couple of years, and it's been frustrating injuries inconsistencies.

265
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: But he's always teased. He's been a tease here. He's

266
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: got a twenty two to.

267
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: Four k walk ratio in twenty three innings so far

268
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: this year, two runs over seven innings yesterday. Is Garrett

269
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: Witlock a player that you should be looking to acquire

270
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: or in a shallow league, if still floating out there,

271
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: possibly add because I think you do.

272
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I mean, I think he lives

273
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: in that world of like your roster to maybe get

274
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 3: him out of like really bad matchups. You know, like

275
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: stream it's essentially like a streamable guy. But you know,

276
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: walk rate's been really low. You like that strikeouts are

277
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: not a whole big thing. I will point out it's

278
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: almost got a four and a half expected era. So

279
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: that's why you know, I'm probably looking a little bit

280
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 3: more at like a streamable option. I do like how

281
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 3: he uses the zone, looking at like the zone chart

282
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: is a little bit too much in the zone sweeper

283
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: just you know, not even looking at the k rates

284
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: or with rates I could tell is probably the biggest pitch,

285
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: which it is. It's got a fifty percent rate, the

286
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: rest relatively mediocre. So yeah, I think he's like I said,

287
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: he's in that maybe a hold on, maybe a just stream. Oh,

288
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: Michael Walker, Garrett Whitlock, rest of year.

289
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: Whitlock.

290
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 2: I've seen enough bad Michael Waka in my life for

291
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: the last five years. I just I just don't trust

292
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: the health. I don't trust the I just don't trust

293
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: it again. And I could be wrong, and I will

294
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 2: eat that if I am. But Garrett Woodlock is a

295
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: young enough pitcher with upside. He's got a high strikeout rate,

296
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: and that's one thing. Even peak Michael Walker back in

297
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: the Cardinals days, back in the day, what it was

298
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: him and Wainwright at the top of that rotation, even then,

299
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 2: he wasn't necessarily lighting the world on fire with the

300
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: k raid. So that's never been his game. So I

301
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: like the pictures with the big strike.

302
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: Back in the day when I was young. I'm not

303
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: a kid anymore. It's a sit and wish I was

304
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: a kid again.

305
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: I love that song. It's a good song. I know,

306
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: let's go to Matt.

307
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: Sorry, I feel like you were waiting for me to

308
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: drop them.

309
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: If you did the first line in that song, we

310
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 2: might get canceled. So Matt McLain Homard and drove in

311
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: three runs.

312
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: On Wednesday night.

313
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: He is now up to a three twenty eight, three

314
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: seventy nine, five sixteen slash, three bombs, two steals, thirteen

315
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: stone bases. Twenty eight games, he'd have more than two steals.

316
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: Though, I am very much about Matt McClain right now.

317
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: You would think the steals would be up, but it

318
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: is bonkered. We were talking about him last night, the

319
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: three hit game. He's got like forty hits since he's

320
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 3: been called up. The three twenty batting averages bonkers, an

321
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 3: over ten percent barrel percentage. His XBA, even though it's

322
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: forty points lower, it's still close to two ninety. He

323
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: has been doing some crazy things and hitting two. It

324
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: just makes him valuable the rest of the way through.

325
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: And you know, I think he is in a twelve

326
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: team league. He is a startable shortstop probably rest of season,

327
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: even when he kind of comes back down a little bit.

328
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: More so, I'm I'm very much all about Matt McClain

329
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 3: right now, and he is again a piece of these words.

330
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: What's offense, it's Ellie, and where's where's Christian? And kar

331
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: I'm about to do the thing. I'm about to start

332
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: doing the Maybe he's gonna get called up because I

333
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: feel I feel it coming up inside of me of

334
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: why is Christian? And did you know the Christian and

335
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: Karnoshian strand?

336
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: He is?

337
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: At least when I looked yesterday, he was tied for

338
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: the most homer right in the minor leagues with around

339
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: thirty less at bats and like the next guy, he's

340
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: hitting over three hundred, one of the only ones. I believe.

341
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: He's one of only two or three with fifteen homers

342
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: in the miners to have an over three hundred batting average.

343
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 3: He doesn't belong there anymore. He's cut his strikeout percentage.

344
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: He don't belong there anymore.

345
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: Nothing left for him to prove. He's in the Waiver

346
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: Wire video which just dropped on the channel. If you

347
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: haven't go check that out today. Look the vapors nos

348
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: a mod. I remember having that single cassette of that

349
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: song by the way back in the day. I think

350
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: it dropped like right around the springtime. That was like

351
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: that was a summer jam. If ever there was one,

352
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: I don't remember.

353
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: No, it's Nick on d I know I like bread

354
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: there He's like, was I about to do the Batman appreacial.

355
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: No rookie lookies today, although Welsh just basically did one

356
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: for Christian and Carnossio's trand So let's talk about Nick

357
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: Lodolo unlikely to return until early August. Apparently the MRI

358
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: says he's got to stay in the walking boot. So

359
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: that's not good. It's looking like kind of a lost season.

360
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: So if you are looking for Nick Lodolo to help

361
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: you out, I wouldn't.

362
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: Hold your breath.

363
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: I mean, if you that's mine, you can hold on

364
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: in August and September, maybe you can, but I'm not really.

365
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: Holding right now.

366
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: No, I'm done with that. That's my Probably my biggest

367
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: l of the trade videos was, I mean, the injury.

368
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: I just didn't see the injury coming. I would find

369
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: back on him being able to fix it. But yeah,

370
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: it's a huge disaster. Though I would say maybe an

371
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: nice little slick room to a little dude to take

372
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: a look at for buying into the near future here

373
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: for Dynasty leagues.

374
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: Are you getting more Vini pas Quentino questions than anything

375
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: else in your timeline?

376
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the number one.

377
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: So I keep telling everybody, Christian Walker, I keep telling everybody,

378
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: you know, look at Ryan Nada and some of these

379
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: guys right now in the waiver wire. But it really

380
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: depends on what's out there waiver wire. Jose Abreu, now

381
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: that you say it, that's that's where you go. I mean,

382
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: you kick the tires on the Jose Abra see if

383
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: you can pry him away, because he's definitely hurt somebody

384
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: at this point. I mean, he's probably available. The trouble

385
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: is what you know, what are you offering? Maybe Michael Walka,

386
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: but Vinnie pas Quentino, Like I get it, I understand.

387
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: You know, everyone's looking to try to fill those holes

388
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But maybe Christian and Carnaccio strand

389
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: to another bat. Add that guy now and hope in

390
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: the next two weeks you get somebody like that coming

391
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: up because he can then should come up and just

392
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: Rake Clevenger is removed yesterday right by step soreness. That

393
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: can't be good. Salvador Perez he had a hand contusion.

394
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: He's day to day.

395
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: Max Munsey grade two hamstring strains, so he's going on

396
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: the eel and somehow Eloya Menez found.

397
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: His way back to the field yesterday. Welsh this was great.

398
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: This was you know, after a few days of waiting around,

399
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 2: there you go, Elloja men is back on the field.

400
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: I know we all just super excited about it.

401
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: We were all just baited breath waiting to see what happened.

402
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: I am salty about Eloya Menz.

403
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: I can tell. Yeah, Eloy's been in your kra for.

404
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: Because you know, I don't like when I support a

405
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: player multiple years and and defend his honor and then

406
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: he does where we're at here with him now, it

407
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: has not been good.

408
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: It's not been good. Don't like it.

409
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: Alec Manoa, you gotta love this Welsh. So he is

410
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: throwing a simulated game today in daned and Florida. He

411
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: is gonna throw five innings in a quote controlled environment

412
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: end quote, so no trigger warnings. It's going to be

413
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: a safe space for him to throw. Could you imagine,

414
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: like I mean, think about like Don Drysdale.

415
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: I guess I'll get old far down.

416
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, think about those guys you know when they're smoking

417
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: too packs of cigarettes.

418
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: You know, a safe space. I love this.

419
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 2: You know you go back and work at true value, Bodway,

420
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 2: if you can't pitch in a big leagues kid, I.

421
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: Love this woke idea of you're just like a man.

422
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 3: All these kids are their participation trophies and they're and

423
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: they're sitting in their controlled environments to pitching. What back

424
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: of mind day that's like what you were turning in?

425
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, do we really have to call it

426
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: a controlled environment?

427
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't really know what they're trying to

428
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: like accomplish.

429
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: It's a sim game against it's a.

430
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: Baseball game that he's throwing in.

431
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: But it's not a baseball game.

432
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 2: He's throwing a simulated gay space. It's there's going to

433
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 2: be you know, Enya playing and it's gonna they're gonna

434
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: have Usually.

435
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 3: How they do that if you actually want to know,

436
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 3: because I've seen a whole bunch of these, what that

437
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 3: is is they'll be like something you know what. Sometimes

438
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: they do put the defenders out there, but they'll just

439
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: be like the big net that's gonna be right behind

440
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: the catcher. They'll have the big track man up and

441
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 3: they'll just have like three batters continuously come up and

442
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: then just keep hitting and working through that. And that's

443
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: how they do. They don't have guys run the bases,

444
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: and that's how they run that whole sim games are

445
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: weird to watch.

446
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: By the way, I like this, Matt Flood's basically saying,

447
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: Alec Manoa, Manoa, chance of him ever being relevant again?

448
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: How do you like that? That's a good one. Pretty good.

449
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: Wonkey also asked me to raise my right hand. There

450
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: you go, raise my right hand on the show.

451
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: I know it looks.

452
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 2: Opposite here in the camera, but uh, and I have

453
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: to repeat after her. I won't go back to the

454
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: alloy him and az Well in twenty twenty four preseason.

455
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: I am making this commitment. I will stand by this.

456
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: I'm a man of my word. I won't do it,

457
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: but I can't wait to see the safe space results

458
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: for him. That's gonna be great. Let's talk about three

459
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 2: up and three down Jake Berger. You can't stop Jake Berger.

460
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: Two more home runs, I'm dude. One of the best

461
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: stories of twenty twenty three is gotta be Jake Berger.

462
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: Can we just abs basking the glory the white side?

463
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 3: He needs He needs a wad wide day. If anyone

464
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: needs a wag No, he.

465
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: Needs a Burger King Day. They need Jake Bergers or

466
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: something like that. He needs if he needs his own thing.

467
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a wall on.

468
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: Now, let's say maybe he could save Burger King. I

469
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: don't know. I feel like maybe he's all five guys.

470
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: I know what he should do.

471
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: He should change his number to five and that can

472
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 3: get a sponsorship with five guys and change that he's

473
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,959
Speaker 3: number five, Burger five. That would be the play.

474
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: That's the play, Jake sponsorship five guys, Burger, five guys

475
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: to get him in the place.

476
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: By the way, I'm I'm obsessed with Jake Berger. He

477
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 3: is a underlying stat Darling. The batting average not the

478
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 3: best two fifty, but he's got an X speak of

479
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 3: seventy five, but ninety four percentile hard hit, so top

480
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: six percent in the league. Ninety Actually, now it changed

481
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 3: one hundred percentile barrel percentage. Barrel and hard hit is

482
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: the two mixture of moments, looking for twenty one and

483
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: a half barrel percentage with one of the hardest hit

484
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 3: in the league. Strikeouts are a little bit up there.

485
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: He's gonna strikeout.

486
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 2: Guy, but man, when he hits, he's made contact. Man,

487
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: ball's going a long way. Ranger Suarez seven, shoutout any

488
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: seven case for him. No decision though against the Diamondbacks

489
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: and Fernando Tatis Junior three for four with a dinger

490
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: and a steal. Pretty good five nothing win for them

491
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: over the Guardians, three down. Matt Olsen had a long

492
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: day nine at bats, one hit, four strikeouts.

493
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: Not a good day for metals. It's a long day.

494
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: Jared kellnick over four to three k's. So that story

495
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: is really tapering off here as we go. But Spencer

496
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: Streyder Welsh, we gotta talk about this. This is another

497
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 2: less than dominant outing. It's been a couple of them now.

498
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: The one against the Mets wasn't great last week. Five innings,

499
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: five earned, six k's. Are you any concerns here about

500
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: Spencer Schrider or this is just a rough patch because

501
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: it's getting enough.

502
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: This was when we just did a breakdown on So

503
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: the v low down is concerning. It's absolutely concerning. Fastball

504
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: slider both down a little bit. I kind of wonder

505
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 3: and I don't really have any information on it. There's

506
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: a part of me that wonders, is he maybe taking

507
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 3: a tiny bit off to be able to push the

508
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: whole season. He wasn't a starter. No thing is like,

509
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: he wasn't a full starter last year and he got

510
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: his innings. He has to be counted on for a

511
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 3: ton more innings this year. If there's something about the

512
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: process of just taking a little bit off to maybe

513
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 3: be able to maintain your body or injury worry, that's

514
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 3: a speculative type of thing. I still think he's there.

515
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 3: I was looking at the individual pitches and the I

516
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 3: believe it's the hard hit percentage on the fastball is

517
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 3: no different. It's still getting its whiffs. The slider is

518
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: getting banged though it was twenty two percent last year

519
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: up to forty percent this year, So that slider is

520
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 3: just getting smacked, and he's putting it right in the

521
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: bottom corner of the zone more it's sitting there, so

522
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: I think guys are sitting to try to hit that one,

523
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: and the homers are coming off of that fastball, so

524
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: he's just got to flip the mix a little bit.

525
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if the via the villa is like

526
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 3: the biggest concern thing we would have over all of anybody,

527
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 3: and I'm giving him a little bit more of a pass.

528
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: But if you watch the trade video this week, I'm

529
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: buying on him. This last start wasn't the great purchase,

530
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: but I think I may have even said maybe you

531
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,000

00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: Tani hot dog thing, the taco hot dog that we discussed.

543
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: It is available a dog. It's not a taco, it's

544
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: a taco dog.

545
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 3: Taco dog is available and it brings the strikeout signed

546
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: to five and a half. So give me that. I

547
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: will pair that with Christian Javier and Mackenzie Gore hits

548
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: one and a half under through the first inning, both

549
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 3: of those offenses against these pitchers. I like you, and

550
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Todz Bradley Fantasy score twenty nine

551
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 3: and a half. So get your Taco hot dogs and

552
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 3: flow them out because there's four or five different options.

553
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: So it's a fun day. It's a fun day to

554
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: get your taco hot dogs.

555
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: Otani on seven strikeouts over Christian Javier a five strikeouts

556
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: over josel two of a seven and a half hitter,

557
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 2: fantasy score over. It's not a great betting day. I

558
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: like the Chicago Cubs on the money line today. To

559
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: Christian Javier really is what you're looking at. To me,

560
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: Christian Javier five and a half k's over o Tani

561
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 2: seven and a half over basically my prize picks. I'm

562
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: just dragging into the betting Aaron Nola five and a half.

563
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: That's an afternoon game. So if you want to bet that,

564
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: bet that now that's five and a half. If you

565
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: want to put all three together, you can do that

566
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 2: and just kind of watch them unfold. And if you

567
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: get Nola and that's going well, and then you get

568
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: Houston or you know, we get Otani to get to

569
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 2: that level or Javier to get to that DOULEA might

570
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: even offer you a cash out and you can still

571
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: make money on it. If you're watching tonight Live Welsh,

572
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 2: what do you have on the betting side today?

573
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 3: You know one thing you could do too, with your

574
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 3: three strikeouts, like you were saying, you could put those

575
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: in price picks, and you can actually do insurance, so

576
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 3: if one doesn't cash, you can Can you do that

577
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: on price pick on prize picks, Prize picks, Prize Picks.

578
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: I actually like that, and also care about talking about

579
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 3: Christian Javier because I talked about Christian Javier the other

580
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 3: day and I got screamed at because I apparently jinxed him.

581
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: So okay, there you go. Sometimes I do apparently I

582
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: do price picks, Price picks, Price Picks. I also like

583
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 3: the Chicago game that you talked about, but I'm gonna

584
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: take the first five Marcus Stroman, I believe still leads

585
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 3: the league and quality starts, so through the first five,

586
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 3: that's his play. I'm gonna go up one run through

587
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 3: the first five for the Cubs, and then I'm also

588
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 3: gonna take the Minnesota Twins team total runs to the

589
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: whole game at four and a half, both right around

590
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: like even money.

604
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 2: the DFS pieces today, Sunny Gray at ten point one,

605
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 2: Javier again ten point three, Otani ten point seven, Nadiyevaldi

606

Speaker 2: if you want to go all the way to the

607
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: top of the board, but it is tricky there because

608
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: it's Evaldi and Otani. So maybe you just go and

609
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: attack that game differently and you go look for the

610
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: under in that game or if you can find a

611
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 2: combined strikeout total over on that game. Atlanta, Houston, those

612
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: are where you're looking for offense today. Also, Michael Harris

613
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 2: and Jose Brady Is Welsh mentioned starting to get hot

614
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: a bray you two point six, Michael Harris still two

615
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: point five, but he's getting hot too.

616
