Speaker 3: I am Ryan Warmley, joined as always but not last

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 3: week by Mike Mayor. I am back after my week

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: off Mayor. As you know, I was traveling first some

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 3: family stuff, so I appreciate you stepping into the host

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: chair for me, And of course we're bringing on Kelly

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: in my stead, who is way smarter about Fantasy Baseball

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: than I will ever be.

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 5: Well, I am happy to have you back because you're

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 5: a better host than I will ever be, So I'm

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 5: sure the audience will agree that they're happy to have

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 5: you back as a host, and they don't have to

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 5: hear me try my best anymore.

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: I will say as I was just trying to be

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: deferential to Kelly, not trying. I genuinely believe she's very,

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: very smart. Obviously in the only league she and I

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: are in together, which is the Roto League, Dan Harris's league,

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: I currently am sitting on eighty two points. She is

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 3: currently sitting, I believe on the thirty six points.

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: Mayor where are you?

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, if you scrolling the bottle, you'll

32
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 5: see me. That team might be the worst team I've

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 5: ever had.

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 6: I don't know.

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 5: And I look at the roster and I'm like, this

36
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 5: roster isn't bad. And I've already my hitting was so

37
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 5: bad that I had like pitching surplus, and I already

38
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 5: flipped a bunch of that pitching for hitting, and now

39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 5: my hitting and pitching are both bad, and I'm just like,

40
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 5: it's unbelievably like I'm anxious about how bad that team is.

41
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: It's pretty poor.

42
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: I'm making a good first impression my first year in

43
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: that league, and it's nice to see you sitting there

44
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: at the bottom. Yeah, we're gonna dive into the show

45
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: at some point. We're gonna do a little segment here

46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: and round in the bases where and I like to

47
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: do this whenever I'm not only out, you know, missing

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: a week, but like truly i'm like pretty much off

49
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: the gride and not watching baseball for a few days.

50
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: I like to come back and have you kind of

51
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: fill me in on what I missed over the last week.

52
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: I did attend a couple of baseball games in Baltimore

53
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: with my family, So those were the only games that

54
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 3: I watched pretty much in the last week while I

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 3: was while I was out and about. So we will

56
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: get into that a little bit later on in the segment.

57
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna start off.

58
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: And round of the bases kind of just from some

59
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: more immediate news, which was yesterday as I was putting

60
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 3: this together, we had not one, but two very good

61
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: starting pitchers get hurt. I kind of labeled the segment

62
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: just more injured pitchers, because it feels like it's been

63
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: never ending for a lot of this season. Kind of

64
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: different circumstances for these two. Was Hunter Green, of course,

65
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 3: and Dylan He's pitched very well, and then he came

66
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: out and then I was seeing on Twitter, you know,

67
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: as you know, an apparent injury kind of after the

68
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: no hitter was broken up. I didn't see a follow

69
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: up to that. So if there is kind of additional

70
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: news about what exactly that was, Mary, you can fill

71
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: us in.

72
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: Hunter Green. It was a groin issue.

73
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: He left after three very strong innings on Wednesday night,

74
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 3: and obviously Green is somebody we have talked about a lot.

75
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: I planted a flag on him as being a great

76
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: value this year. He looked like the best call I made,

77
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: and all of Spring Trading was being very in on him.

78
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: You were still a little hesitant because of the injury concerned,

79
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: of course, a growing issue, maybe not the type of

80
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: injury you were thinking about. Let's start with Green because

81
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: I think kind of the more concerning given the way

82
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: he left the game and just how good he's been

83
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: so far this year, do you I mean, we just

84
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: saw Cole Reagan's have a groin issue and come back

85
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: and look very good against the White Sox. So it's

86
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: not like this is a death Noell. But what was

87
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: your kind of reaction watching what happened to Green?

88
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: Well, my first reaction was I just saw it come across.

89
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 5: He left with an injury, and I was like, oh God,

90
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 5: like this is what we were worried about. You know,

91
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: he's sitting there throwing a hundred and one hundred two

92
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: and it finally happened his arm off, and then you

93
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: kind of see that it's a groin injury and injury

94
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: and you're like, all right, well, at least it's not

95
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: his right arm. You know, they could be you know,

96
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 5: I would prefer like just cramps or something, but if

97
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 5: it has to be an injury, like you said, like

98
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 5: coul Reagan's just came back from a groin injury.

99
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 6: It doesn't sound like they're too concerned about it. He

100
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 6: was just.

101
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: Warming up and I guess he threw two warm up

102
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 5: pitches and was like basically just called out the trainers

103
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 5: and was like, I don't feel right. You know, he

104
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: felt a little tight on his first warm up throw,

105
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 5: which I saw someone say that, like his first warm

106
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: up throw was always like on the softer side, and

107
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 5: like the second warm up throw is when he like

108
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 5: starts throwing a little bit harder, and his second warm

109
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 5: up throw was also soft. And then I think that's

110
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 5: like when the catcher, one of the trainers, was like okay,

111
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 5: like something's wrong here, and he immediately like called him

112
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 5: out as we're recording this here today on Thursday. I

113
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 5: believe he's getting an MRI today to see if there's,

114
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 5: you know, what the extent of the damage is. He

115
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 5: said he wasn't really sure. He didn't have like injury

116
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 5: like this before. He didn't really know what to expect,

117
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 5: and then the manager turned Francona didn't expect bad news.

118
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: So it sounds like fingers crossed, but they're optimistic it's

119
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 5: not a major issue there.

120
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: Obviously, since we, you know, only record this show once

121
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: a week, we won't be able to be on top

122
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: of the twist and turns. Everybody should check out leading

123
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: off live every day, so hopefully they can be more

124
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: immediate with their reactions whenever we get kind of fallout

125
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 3: from whatever that MRI ends up showing. Hunter Green obviously

126
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 3: been you know, one of, if not the best pitcher

127
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: in baseball this season, so we will certainly be keeping

128
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: a very close eye on that. He's actually been a

129
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: real reason why I'm doing well in that league. We

130
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: were talking about where I'm in Darren Harris's league, So

131
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: I'm certainly hoping, and I know everybody is, that he

132
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: ends up being okay.

133
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 2: And then Dylan Cees.

134
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: Was there a kind of a follow up to this

135
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 3: that you saw this morning that I missed in terms

136
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: of him leaving, Like I said, I know, it was

137
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: kind of listed as like an apparent injury. He did

138
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: pitch well and got deeper into the game than Green did.

139
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were two kind of follow ups, and one

140
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: very concerning and the other one not concerning at all.

141
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 5: So the first thing I saw come across was that

142
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 5: it was a forearm injury. And then you know, as

143
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 5: I always say, your forearm is connected to your Tommy

144
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 5: John and so that's not great. But then it turned

145
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 5: out to it was just cramps. So they're like, not

146
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 5: that worried, just a forearm cramp. Obviously you don't want

147
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 5: anything happening to that forearm. You're hoping that's not like

148
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 5: assigned by anything else. But if you have to leave

149
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 5: with an injury, cramps are the one that you want

150
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 5: to leave with because if it's just like a hydration

151
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 5: temporary issue, unless you have like chronic cramps, like that's

152
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 5: best case scenario. So it sounds like they're gonna play

153
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 5: it by year. Like the next couple of days, he

154
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 5: how a bullpen goes and like he should be fine.

155
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 6: Maybe what do you.

156
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: Make of season in general, just while we're on the topic,

157
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: if we're if we're largely unconcerned about, you know, the

158
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: injury stuff. He hasn't been, you know, the type of

159
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: guy you were hoping you were drafting when you got him.

160
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 3: In fact, this was you know, this or that early

161
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: start against Cleveland are pretty clearly his two best starts

162
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: of the season. Every other start has been between mediocre

163
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 3: to downright bad. You know, he's sitting here, is eras

164
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 3: four ninety.

165
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: One, his whips won forty one.

166
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: You know, he's he's striking out, you know, more than

167
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: a batter and inning.

168
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: So you are still getting that which you knew you

169
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: were getting from him.

170
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: But nothing else really looks all that, you know, appealing

171
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: in terms of what we've actually seen. But he was

172
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: very good obviously against the Yankees in New York last

173
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: night prior to this cramp issue. So do you see

174
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: that as like a sign of a turnaround and he's

175
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: kind of getting it all back together. Are you largely

176
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: concerned long term from the on field performance perspective?

177
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 6: I think this is part of just the Dylan cease experience.

178
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 5: I think it's just a roller coroaster and you're gonna

179
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 5: I wrote him up a couple of weeks ago as

180
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 5: a buy low, and I just think, like, you're gonna

181
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: have some ups, you're gonna have some downs, and when

182
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 5: the dust settles, you're gonna have a mid threes ZRA

183
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 5: and two undred plus strikeouts as long as it stays healthy.

184
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 5: And so I think that's what's gonna happen. Agin Even

185
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 5: right now is is Eri is sitting at four nine one,

186
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 5: not great, but all his expected his FIP is three

187
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 5: point three four. That's lower than last year's ra of

188
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 5: three point four to seven. X FIP three seven seven,

189
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 5: sierra three six five x e A four point zero two.

190
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 5: So all of those number expected numbers significally better. Like

191
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 5: you said, strikeout rate still pretty similar, whip obviously much

192
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 5: higher than you want it to be.

193
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 6: But I think or a long haul he should be fine.

194
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: We'll get to one of those hitters that was in

195
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: the game last night against the Padres. But first you

196
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 3: train hard, you show up, but lately something feels off.

197
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: Fatigue lingers, recovery takes longer, and your performance isn't where

198
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: it used to be. These might be signs of low testosterone,

199
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,280

Speaker 4: Ye.

251
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 3: It's you know, coming off the you know, being off

252
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: for a week, you build up your your ad read ability,

253
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,599
Speaker 3: and you know, I was practicing up in the in

254
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 3: the off season speak.

255
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 5: I didn't really have that many to read, so I

256
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 5: was I was, you know, opening up the sheet expecting

257
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 5: a ton of promos.

258
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 6: I only had like one or two to do, and

259
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 6: I was like, this is cake.

260
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: Where must to do A lot Kisa Trex is an

261
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: interesting one because like two thirds of the read is

262
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: the disclaimer, so it's a lot too. It's a lot

263
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: to read through, but we love Kaisa Treks. Here, let's

264
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: go to Trent Grisham, who, you know, kind of in

265
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 3: the way we often talk about these players. I wrote

266
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: in the outline, is Trank Grisham the best hitter in baseball?

267
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: Clearly that's not true, but he continues to be very

268
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: very good this year. And I thought it was really

269
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: notable because I, you know, I was looking through, you know,

270
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: hit another home run last night. I'm like, you know,

271
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: he's been so good, he must be rostered pretty much everywhere,

272
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: and every kind of gets it. He's fifty percent rostered

273
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: in CBS, under thirty percent in both ESPN and Yahoo.

274
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: His triple slash line is two ninety two three seventy

275
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: six six forty. That's an ops over one thousand. He

276
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 3: has ten home runs already this season, only nineteen strike

277
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: cuts on the season, and his stat cast is very

278
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: very red. You know, some of the kind of standouts

279
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 3: in there. His ex woba's ninety third percentiles, his expected slugging,

280
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 3: his ninety fourth percentile. He's in the eighties for exit velocity,

281
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: barrel rate, seventy eighth percentile hard hit rate. You know,

282
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: his chase rate is only you know, ninety three percentile,

283
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: so he's not chasing the balls with rates pretty low too. Like,

284
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: it's just looked very, very good in all respects. He

285
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: already has more home runs than he did all of

286
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: last season the last two years. Is batting average is

287
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: blow the Mendoza line. So on the one hand, it

288
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: looks like a fluke, like, you know, it's not in

289
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 3: line Sorr on stack cast. It's only showing the last

290
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: two but yeah, I didn't have the previous seasons up too.

291
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: But the expected data is saying this looks legitimate at

292
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: least so far. So there could still be some noise

293
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: in there, but it doesn't look that fluky.

294
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: What we've seen to date.

295
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 3: So I ask you this, He's twenty eight years old,

296
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: he's got the awesome ballpark he's playing in this season.

297
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: Is this a legitimate breakout that you expect to see

298
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: continue on some level the rest of the way, or

299
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: are you still viewing this within the prism of it's

300
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: early and this is not the Trent Grisham we should

301
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 3: expect going forward.

302
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 5: I think it's probably somewhere in the middle. I don't

303
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: think we're going to see this level of Trent Grisham

304
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 5: the rest of the season. But I also think we're

305
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 5: not going to see the bad, you know version either.

306
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 5: I think he's kind of settling in. Like you said,

307
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 5: the biggest factor here is that ballpark. You know, he's

308
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 5: pulling the ball for power, and if you can do

309
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 5: that even a little bit in Yankee Stadium, you're gonna

310
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 5: have a million home runs. You wrote in the sheet,

311
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 5: is Trent Grisham the best hitter in baseball? I would

312
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 5: ask you a different question. Is Trent Grisham this year

313
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: who we were hoping Cody Bellinger was going to be?

314
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 5: Because this is what everyone was hoping the Cody Bellinger

315
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 5: season the Kastadium was gonna look like, and it looked

316
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 5: like it might be. Trent Grisham is the one taking

317
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 5: advantage of it. There was one stat that I thought

318
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 5: was funny when kind of like looking at this, so

319
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 5: he has ten home runs, do you know without looking

320
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 5: how many doubles he has?

321
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: No, I don't have that pulled up, and I don't know.

322
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 5: Okay, one though, granted that's the worst ballpark four doubles,

323
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 5: or at least like a bottom five ballpark for doubles.

324
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 5: But even last year he had nine home runs and

325
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 5: eight doubles. So it's just kind of funny that, like

326
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 5: when he is hitting for power, he's not like putting

327
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 5: it in the gap, He's just putting it over that

328
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 5: red field fence.

329
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: I do think it's notable that not only is he

330
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: hitting the ball in the air more than he has

331
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: it any other year of his career, he's also pulling

332
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: the ball in the air more than any other year

333
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 3: in his career. His pull air percentage twenty five point

334
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: seven percent last year is the second highest at twenty percent,

335
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: So that's a pretty sizable jump year to.

336
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: Year from what was already career high last year.

337
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: So he is taking full advantage of the stadium that

338
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: he's in. I really liked that comp of what we

339
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: were hoping Bellinger would be. Yeah, I mean, like I'm

340
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: not saying, go get rid of everything you had to

341
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: go acquire Trent Grisham, but I think it's legitimate enough that,

342
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: like he certainly is better than we expected he was

343
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: going to be before the start of the season. I

344
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: mean the other thing too, really and like you said,

345
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: kind of the biggest factor is the ballpark. The other

346
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: big factor is the strikeouts.

347
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure.

348
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: If you can weigh in on I actually kind of forget,

349
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: like about how long strikeout rates. You feel like they

350
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: tend to normalize for hitters in a new season, But

351
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: every other year in his career it was in the twenties.

352
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: In the last three years it was twenty eight twenty

353
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: seven to twenty seven percent strikeout rate this year is

354
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: his career low. It's eighteen point eight percent. That is

355
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: a very very drastic drop. So he's just putting the

356
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: ball and play more and also taking advantage by pulling

357
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: the ball in the air when he's doing it. So

358
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: it all, you know, the highest barrel rate going along

359
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 3: with that. Like I said, so we're one hundred played

360
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: appearances in, it's not nothing, even though there's still a

361
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: long way to go.

362
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 6: So yeah, And I.

363
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 5: Would also say it's it's not just that he's not

364
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 5: striking out, because sometimes you'll see a player like drastically

365
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 5: cut down on their strikeout rate, and there are like

366
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 5: gibbs or takes in other areas, especially like you'll see

367
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 5: like a walk percentage will also drips substantially because they're

368
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 5: just like swinging earlier in the count and they're not

369
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 5: you know, they're not taking pitches, they're just making contact

370
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 5: again on base. His walk rate is staying the same,

371
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 5: like last year's ten point five percent, this year's ten

372
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 5: point nine percent, and in the past it's been in

373
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 5: that ten percent range except for twenty twenty three when

374
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: it was up to thirteen point five. But the fact

375
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 5: that he's still walking as much and has cut his

376
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 5: strikeout rate by ten percent is pretty intriguing.

377
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: He's been sitting there available in one of our head

378
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: to head points leagues, Deep Keeper League, pretty much the

379
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: entire year, and I finally just picked him up last night.

380
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't you know, I'm I'm going

381
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: on the show to say he should be rostered in

382
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: more leagues, So let me pick him up in the

383
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: lead where he's available. And I just think everybody's kind

384
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 3: of been waiting for the other shoot to drop, but

385
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 3: I'm it will to a degree, but I don't know

386
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 3: what that degree is going to be. I want to

387
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 3: ask about another player not on the same level of

388
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: Grisham is Jackson Holiday arriving. This is somebody that could

389
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: not have had more hype going into last season as

390
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 3: a guy who was so recently out of high school

391
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: and yet still the number one overall prospect in baseball.

392
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 3: He was going on to a team that had all

393
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: these great young talent. He was kind of that final

394
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 3: piece of this crown jewel of a farm system, and

395
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: he was awful. He was so unplayable that he got

396
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: like two weeks in the majors. They sent him back down.

397
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: He was a little bit better later in the year,

398
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: but still not this elite hitter. We've talked a lot

399
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 3: on the show about how top prospects are taking longer

400
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: than ever to really adjust to the gap between minor

401
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 3: league pitching and major league pitching. But Holiday has been

402
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: good as of late. They just moved him today out

403
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 3: of This is not a permanent move. I think they

404
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: were just kind of shaking things up because the whole

405
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: team has struggled. But today he was batting second in

406
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 3: the order. It's the first time they finally kind of

407
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: moved him up and said he's gotten comfortable, let's let's

408
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 3: stop putting him in that like six to eight range.

409
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: And the last eleven games they are playing right now,

410
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: So this is not including today, although I know he

411
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 3: did get on base at least once today already. But

412
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: the last eleven games before Thursday, he's bat eating three

413
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 3: eighty seven, four fifty seven on base five eighty one

414
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 3: selecon percentage. That is a ops over one thousand. He's

415
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 3: still not really running when he gets on His sprint

416
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: speed is eighty ninth percentile, so he certainly has a speed.

417
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: I wish he would steal more bases when he gets

418
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: on base, because I thought that was an area he

419
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: could contribute, you know, even when he was in the

420
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: minor leagues and I was looking at, like, what's he

421
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: gonna be when he gets up there. The other thing

422
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 3: I thought was interesting that I put in the sheet

423
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: is that his barrel rate and hard hit rate are

424
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 3: both actually down compared to last year. But like like

425
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 3: Trent Grisham, Jackson Holliday is striking out a lot less

426
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 3: than he was last year too, so he's still crazy young.

427
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 3: It's a position that's largely uninspiring, so getting a second

428
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: basement is appealing if he really is breaking out. Do

429
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: you think from what we've seen from Jackson Hill that

430
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 3: he is taking that next step. I'm not going to

431
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 3: call him a superstar yet. This isn't like, you know,

432
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: the leap in all capital letters, But is it a leap?

433
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 6: I think it is.

434
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 5: I think I think you're seeing a young hitter adjusting

435
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 5: to life in the major leagues, which you know he's

436
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 5: going to have to do. If based on what you said,

437
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 5: you know, and what we saw for his like initial

438
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 5: you know, debut, it was bad as bad as it

439
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 5: could be, and so I think he's making you know,

440
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 5: proactive changes, you know, cutting down a strikeout rate in

441
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 5: a meaningful way if that means you know, for the

442
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 5: for the time being, you know, not swinging out of

443
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 5: your shoes, and you know that'll like you know kind

444
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 5: of like cut down on some of your swing speed

445
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 5: and your you know, potentially your bower rate and just

446
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 5: focusing more on like just like you know, let me

447
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 5: make as solid contact as I can and just like

448
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 5: let the bat do the work like until you kind

449
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 5: of like really like lock in and have that experience.

450
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 5: Maybe that's what you need to do. And so obviously

451
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 5: over the last week and a half we're seeing some

452
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 5: really tangible changes there and it's it's the kind of

453
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 5: thing where you know, if how to put it, it's

454
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 5: just like this is what you want to see from

455
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 5: a young hitters, especially, like you don't want to see

456
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 5: like the same struggles and like you want to see

457
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 5: like changes. And so the fact that we're seeing, you know,

458
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 5: cutting down a strike cut right, he's still walking. I'm

459
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 5: not really as concerned about the running as you are,

460
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: you know, hopefully it's just you know, you don't.

461
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 6: Want to think it's like the manager putting it on

462
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 6: the red light.

463
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 5: But like maybe it's just like, look, don't worry about

464
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 5: like running and stealing bases, just like focus on your

465
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 5: hitting for right now, Like we will steal bases eventually,

466
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 5: but like, don't worry about that. And his his batting

467
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 5: average now is two sixty three and it's expected bating

468
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 5: average to sixty two, so it's right there.

469
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 6: It's kind of an earned.

470
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 5: Batting average with like a league average babbit. And his

471
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 5: swinging strike rate is way down to eight point one

472
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 5: percent from thirteen over thirteen percent last year.

473
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have worried about the lack of running. Homarg

474
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: is confused, like there's something I expected. I thought, like

475
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: he might struggle to contribute in power categories when he

476
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 3: first got to the big leagues as a twenty year old.

477
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: But I thought when he got on base, we would

478
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: see him running it, and I've just some kind of

479
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: surprised that he's not. But yeah, where would you rank

480
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: him amongst second basemen the rest of the season.

481
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 6: That's a good question.

482
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 5: Like I said in the beginning of the season, I

483
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 5: think I'll put up my rankings while I'm talking, But

484
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 5: I like.

485
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: Is he somebody that you're comfortable with if he is

486
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: your starting second basement or would you still prefer he's

487
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 3: more of like your middle infielder.

488
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 6: I would prefer like a middle infielder right now.

489
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 5: Like I think he's going to be a better major

490
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 5: league player than he is for fantasy in the short term.

491
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 5: I think in the long term he will be good.

492
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 5: I just think we're probably like a year early, and

493
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 5: I think maybe starting next year is when you know

494
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 5: he'll probably be valuable in fantasy. I have him, I

495
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 5: have him pretty love, so I still have to move

496
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 5: him up. I have an update of my rankings. I've

497
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 5: him outside the top thirty. I probably need to move

498
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 5: him up to like low twenties. I would say like,

499
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 5: I'll move him ahead of Xander Bogart's at that spot

500
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 5: because you know, I think Xander Brogratz has a pretty

501
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: low ceiling at this point, so I'll move him up

502
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 5: to like twenty one, maybe like like nineteen head of

503
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 5: Chase my draft, who I like. But I think, you

504
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 5: know again, Holiday has a higher season.

505
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 3: I didn't sit down and kind of like lay out

506
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: all my rankings. My initial thought was in the like

507
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: mid teens range. I think I'm still higher than you

508
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 3: on what Because we have seen this before from these

509
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 3: Oriols prospects. A lot of them struggled off the bat

510
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 3: and then once they figured it out, they basically just

511
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: went nuclear.

512
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: So that's not a guarantee that will also happen with Holiday.

513
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 2: The other thing, too, is a lot of it.

514
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 3: His fans have been complaining a lot about just the

515
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: approach from the team has been really poor, Like I

516
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 3: really want to see a shakeup on the coaching staff

517
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: right now. Holiday is the one guy who seems to

518
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 3: be making adjustments. His swing looks shorter, he's dropped a

519
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 3: leg kick. I don't think it's any coincidence that he

520
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: has a dad who was an All Star hitter, for

521
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 3: many years in the major league level, who takes a

522
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: very prevalent role in his career and can maybe help

523
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: them find those adjustments that I think the coaching staff

524
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: is willing to do with some of the other players.

525
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: So I'm pretty optimistic.

526
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying he's a top twelve second basement,

527
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 3: but I'm pretty optimistic about Holiday going for the rest

528
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: of the way. The other one other thing I'll mention

529
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 3: on him, stat cast really hates his fielding. It's got

530
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 3: him like fifth percentile and range. That's extremely small sample

531
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 3: size for a metric like that, but I just wanted

532
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: to point out that from the eye test watching him,

533
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 3: he looks night and day in the field. Compared to

534
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: the last year, he looks so much more comfortable at second.

535
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: He's made very strong plays on a number of occasions.

536
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: I think he is taking a step forward defensively, which

537
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 3: you would hope would keep him in the lineup more often.

538
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 3: Brandon Hyde, I hate spatting him against lefties.

539
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 6: I don't.

540
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: I think it's really dumb.

541
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 3: He needs to figure it out against lefties, and he's

542
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 3: gotten hits against him before. I think he's fine, So

543
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: I really hope he Can three.

544
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 6: Of the last four games against lefties, has been on

545
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 6: the bench three last.

546
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: Four, and it'll it'll be coming off like a multi

547
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 3: hit day, and it's like, just let the kid get

548
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: in rid of them. I mean, I've said this on

549
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 3: a hundred times, like Brandon Hyde needs to get fired yesterday.

550
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: I think he's in over his head and I think

551
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: players like Jackson Holiday suffer because of his his machinations.

552
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the last second here on

553
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: round in the bases. And like I said at the

554
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: top of the show, there is something I just like

555
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 3: to do when I've been gone and not able to

556
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: watch really any baseball for several days.

557
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 2: What did I.

558
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 3: Miss when I was out? And I will let you

559
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 3: teach me what it is that that I missed here?

560
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: So what was important? What are the headlines that I

561
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: need to know from the last week.

562
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 5: Well you're never gonna believe this, but Mike Trot got hurt.

563
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 3: This I did see, And of course my immediate thought was,

564
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: how does Mayor feel about it?

565
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, as someone who are rosters them everywhere, because you know,

566
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: if you're going to take a risk, take a risk everywhere.

567
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 5: Is it one of those things where they said they

568
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 5: were not concerned about it, and then he went on

569
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 5: the IL and they're still saying they're not concerned about it.

570
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 5: But like I said last week when Kelly and I

571
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 5: were talking about it, seen this movie before, you know,

572
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 5: I've seen them not be concerned about Mike drout injuries,

573
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 5: and then I've seen him just not.

574
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 6: Play the rest of the season. So we'll see.

575
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 5: Hopefully he's back soon, hopefully for my sake and for

576
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 5: baseball sake, cause I think he's still a fun player.

577
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 5: Spencer Strider has been out for a while for the

578
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 5: hamstring injury.

579
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: But let me ask you this quickly on Trout because

580
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: I know you guys have talked about him like when

581
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: I was gone, and they've talked about leading off. Like

582
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 3: I'm not saying we need to believe everything. I want

583
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 3: to ask you this, as somebody who has a lot

584
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: of him, when he comes back off the IL, will

585
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: you look to trade him then and say he's back?

586
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 3: You know, I'm going to try and sell high on

587
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: the momentum of coming off the IL and just get

588
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 3: something form while I can, or are you're gonna hold

589
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 3: on and say, you know, I don't think he's going

590
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: to get hurt again this year, and I'm kind of

591
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: riding this thing until the last possible second.

592
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 5: I'm not going to trade him right away. I'm going

593
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 5: to hold him and see if I can, you know,

594
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 5: recoup my investment, if that makes sense. But I don't

595
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 5: think i'd be selling high enough. Not that I like

596
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 5: spent a lot of draft capital on him, because he

597
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 5: was going like ninth round around when I got him,

598
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 5: or you know, like in the teens in you know,

599
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 5: salary cap auction leagues. But I don't think like he

600
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 5: has like a bunch of home runs, batting average is low,

601
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 5: and he already has that, like you know, he's becoming

602
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 5: fresh off an injury, and so I don't think anyone's

603
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 5: gonna want to pay the price that I would want

604
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 5: for Mike Trout because they think they're buying low. Like

605
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 5: here's you know, the guy batting below two hundred. He's

606
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 5: very injury prone coming off an injury. I don't think

607
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 5: it's the right time to sell him now. If he

608
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 5: comes off and he's like really hot for three weeks,

609
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 5: it's gonna be tough for me because I'm gonna want

610
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 5: to sell high. But I'm also going to be like, look,

611
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 5: this is what I was hoping for, and I don't

612
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 5: want to give up on this, but I'm always gonna

613
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 5: have in the back of my mind like he's.

614
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 6: Gonna get hurt.

615
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 5: So it might just be like league by league, depending

616
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 5: on what my roster looks like. But I wouldn't sell

617
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 5: him right away because I don't think you're going to

618
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 5: get any kind of value for your better offter just

619
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 5: holding on.

620
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, what else said?

621
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 5: I Miss Spencer Stryder's been out for a while, you know,

622
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 5: pretty disappointing. He came back very early and then much

623
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 5: earlier than a lot of people anticipated, but then he

624
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 5: had a hamstering injury and he's been on the shelf.

625
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 5: But he and as of like last week, there were

626
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 5: like no plans for him to like start throwing. And

627
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 5: then finally yesterday Wednesday, he started throwing off a mound

628
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 5: and they were going to wait to see how he

629
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 5: felt today to determine next steps. But it sounds like

630
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 5: he could be beginning or rehab assignment, like hopefully soon,

631
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 5: so we could potentially be getting Spencer Strider back, which

632
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 5: you know, again in that league, in that league we're

633
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 5: in where I'm really bad. I have Mike Drought and

634
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 5: Spencer Strider, so I would love to have both of

635
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 5: them back and Acuna too, right, I do have Acunya. Yeah,

636
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 5: I was hoping he'll be back by now too, or

637
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 5: at least like on a rehab assignment, but that's been slower.

638
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 7: You know.

639
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 5: I took a lot of risks in that league, and

640
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 5: so far none of them have paid off. And I

641
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 5: have a bunch of other players like Price, Harper like not,

642
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 5: you know, producing up to like certain expectations. So it's

643
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 5: even the players I do have are not really performing

644
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 5: as much as I would hope, or even Mookie Bets.

645
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 5: Speaking of pitcher injuries, Joe Ryan missed a start, but

646
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 5: apparently it's just sick and should be able to make

647
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 5: his next start. You know, you don't love a picture

648
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 5: being sick enough to miss a start, but better that.

649
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 6: Than an injury.

650
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 5: So hopefully his strength comes back and he's feeling all

651
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 5: right for his next start. We talked a little bit

652
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 5: last week about Lucas Giolito, who, in his first start

653
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 5: in like over a year, looked really good.

654
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 6: I guess almost two years.

655
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 5: He he looked really good and flirted with like six

656
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 5: shutout innings until he kind of got squeezed at one

657
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 5: point and then he left like a change up, like

658
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 5: an O two change up over the middle of the plate,

659
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 5: got it for a home run. And then his second

660
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 5: start just really really bad. And so I'm gonna cough

661
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 5: but sorry, and so like there was some hope there,

662
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 5: like okay, like this guy might be someone worth picking up.

663
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 5: And second start not good at all, and so now

664
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 5: I'm much less optimistic about Lucas gu little pretty concerned

665
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 5: and uh yeah, so I wrote in the sheet good good,

666
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 5: geal little bad Giulio. I was initially, you know, very intrigued,

667
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 5: and now less so because it doesn't really have the

668
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 5: stuff that he used to have. But like you know,

669
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 5: I you know, he was like hiding the ball pretty

670
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 5: well and like getting some whiffs, and I was like,

671
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 5: all right, I can get down with this, but now,

672
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 5: you know, not so good. Tony Gonsolin, on the on

673
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 5: the other hand, has come off you know, the ilt

674
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 5: and looked very good and pitching for the Dodgers that

675
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 5: need pitching and have like, you know, one of the best.

676
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 6: Offenses in baseball.

677
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: He's also striking out a ton of people, which is

678
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 5: not something he's always done, so that's very exciting. I

679
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 5: added him before he came back, and I've been very

680
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 5: fortunate to have him in my lineup, so that's that's good.

681
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 5: And then I I paired two pictures together down here

682
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 5: at the bottom, A J. Smith Shov and then Matt Liberator,

683
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 5: who both might be breaking out, like they both you know,

684
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 5: Smith jav Or flirted with a no hitter the other

685
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 5: night I took, you know, he gave up his first

686
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 5: hit in the eighth inning. Some of his suspective numbers

687
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 5: are like not that exciting. And then Matt Liberator has

688
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 5: been like solid all year and it's you know, I

689
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 5: would kind of you know, I know you haven't watched

690
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 5: them recently, but like kind of posed the question to you,

691
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 5: like do you think because Smith Jobber has been around

692
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 5: for little while, but he's still very young, and like,

693
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 5: do we think these are like pictures breaking out or

694
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 5: do we think this is kind of just like a

695
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 5: a good start and like they're going to come back

696
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 5: down to earth because they both have some decent prospect

697
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 5: pedigree and like haven't lived up to it initially, but

698
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 5: like maybe now they are.

699
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Liberator, I think i'd be more. I have seen

700
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: what he's been doing more in this last week, especially

701
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: than smith Shover, so I feel less qualified. Like I

702
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 3: didn't see the no hitter, you know, carried into the

703
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: eighth inning for smith Shover, so I didn't watch that

704
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: kind of see if he was looking different or anything.

705
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: But Liberator like forty one innings, thirty three hits, six walks,

706
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 3: his whips under one.

707
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: His era is three oh seven.

708
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 3: You know, he's got thirty eight strikeouts in those forty

709
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: one innings. I always liked him as a prospect too,

710
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: so it is kind of fun to see him put

711
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: it together. If that is, in fact, what is happening.

712
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 3: That's I I what is smith Shov's age.

713
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 6: He's he is twenty two, twenty two, Okay.

714
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I was gonna guess twenty three. Yeah,

715
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: twenty two is so young that it would not at all.

716
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it shouldn't all surprise anybody if he is

717
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: getting better still, right, I mean he's still so young. Yeah,

718
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: he's he's led more people on than liber Tour. But yeah,

719
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: the ear a three strikeout per inning, it's really mainly

720
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 3: for him the last three starts. I guess it is,

721
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 3: And there was that gap between the twelfth and the

722
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 3: twenty ninth, so like these last two back to back

723
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: are kind of the two like standout ones from him. Combined,

724
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: it looks like what thirteen in a third innings, five hits,

725
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 3: two runs, five walks, ten strikeouts.

726
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't feel super qualified.

727
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 3: To weigh and I'm like, oh, here's the reasons I

728
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 3: think he is breaking out or whatever, but I think

729
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 3: it's definitely encouraging, especially at that age.

730
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: I'd be really interested in.

731
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 3: Him anywhere I could have him, and like, you know,

732
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: just I'm looking a fan tracks right now, sixty six

733
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: percent rostered there. I would imagine that's a lower in

734
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: some of those other places, So pretty acquirable, and I

735
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: would be on board with hoping that this is him

736
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: taking the step forward. Do you have like one that

737
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: you think is more quote unquote legit than the.

738
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 5: Other, probably Liberator. I think i'd like smith Stava. I've

739
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 5: always liked Liberator. I think there are some concerning things

740
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 5: in smith Stava's profile, and you can see that in

741
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 5: some of the expected numbers, like his eras three. His

742
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 5: fit is three point nine eight, so like a battle

743
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 5: run higher his XCRA is five point three one, so

744
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 5: XCRA really doesn't buy into what he's doing, and that

745
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 5: kind of lines up more with the stackcast stuff, and

746
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 5: you can see like walk percentage, you know, is twenty

747
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 5: first percentile. He's allowing some hard contact like barrel rate

748
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 5: and hard hit percentage like twelfth and twenty first percentile.

749
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: So while there is some swing and myths, there's also

750
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 5: some hard contact there, and so that's probably what XCRA

751
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 5: doesn't like more than some of the other expected metrics.

752
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 5: So there is some smoke and mirrors to what we're

753
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 5: seeing there. Whereas I think Liberator, like you with someone

754
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 5: I've I've liked for a long time, I feel like

755
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 5: I've traded or traded him away or acquired him several

756
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 5: times in multiple times the leagues over the years, and

757
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 5: so excited to see that if he's he's finally putting

758
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 5: it together and a lot of his underlying numbers are

759
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 5: buying into what he's doing. Whereas like his era is

760
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 5: right around the same as three point zero seven, and

761
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 5: all of his fip X, FIP sierra at X zero

762
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 5: well fip X, FIP and xc RA A are all

763
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 5: below his current era, and the Sierra three point two

764
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 5: two is just above it, and so the expected numbers

765
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 5: are more so buying into what he's doing, which I

766
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 5: think also matches what we're seeing with our eyes.

767
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: I appreciate the crash course in what I missed the

768
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: last week. Mayor, thank you as always for that. We'll

769
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: go ahead and wrap up ran in the bases there.

770
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: Be sure to check out the other parts of the cycle.

771
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 3: We'll have our buys and Cells and Waiver Central coming

772
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 3: up in part two, and then of course you've got

773
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 3: our picture breakdown, some streaming options, our two start picture competition,
