16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: content here on Fantasy Pros MLB. Welsh, good to see

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: you as always. My friend Raphfield Devers was in a

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: cheery mood. I haven't seen him smile that much since

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: he got that big contract from the Red Sox. What

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: a wonderful press conference. I think we got to start

21
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: there with the raffie devers debut. I had a big

22
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: hit in a big spot there, and I'll play whatever.

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be here. I'm a team guy.

24
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: Boy.

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: Oh boy, what a difference I was gonna say southern

26
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: but Northern California can make on someone's attitude. It's really incredible.

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Wile fast the environment changes a man.

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: Really good digs too, just being like, oh, I'm here

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: for whatever the team wants. You're like, oh really. There

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: was also a report that came out that added to

31
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 3: this dig that he actually had never refuted to play

32
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 3: first base, and it has red Sox fans just in

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: a tussy about this entire situation because it's like, wait

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: a minute, we could have had him. Because the report

35
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 3: was that Devers was open to playing first base, but

36
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: the caveat was he wanted first base. He did not

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: want to give it up and now clearly the head

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: Tristan Cassus in the near future for next season, but

39
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: he wanted assurances that they weren't going to ask him

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: to move again, like going back to DH So like

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: if you hear that and you're like, all right, this

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: is not good. This feel so much more to that story,

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: but for them him to go to San Francisco. They

44
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: rolled out the red carpet. By the way, it looked

45
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: like a like a top high school getting recruited to

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: a college. Like. He walked down to the stadium. They

47
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: had fireworks and they had a line of people there.

48
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: It was a big conference.

49
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 3: Yeah it was. But you know, but him doing the like,

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: I'll play wherever the team wants me. That's the dig.

51
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 3: That's the type of petty dig that I'm here for.

52
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, here for that.

53
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: Pretty spectacular. Uh and the smiles, Oh my god. I

54
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: was like, who is that?

55
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: Who is that?

56
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: I was like when Ebenezer screwed at the end of

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: Christmas Carol, you know, all of a sudden is into

58
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: Christmas again and he's just super excited. It was just craziness.

59
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: Showy ol. Tani is gonna make his next.

60
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Start Saturday or Sunday, So keep an eye on that.

61
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: That news to come.

62
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're ready to start him yet

63
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: in your fantasy league's probably not. My guess is if

64
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: we want one anything, we're pushing in a two, maybe three,

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: we'll get there.

66
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: We'll see depending two.

67
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe two. He pushed twenty was it twenty six?

68
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: Twenty seven hitches in that first one. I'm still not

69
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: I think he has to have a super effective inning

70
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: for him to go to because I don't have.

71
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: Forty four on fairness in the previous whatever.

72
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: The rehab seculation, Yah, yeah, I just don't know if

73
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: that's where they are. They haven't really given a ton

74
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: of clarity in that process, Like is are we treating

75
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: this like this is a rehab assignment where it's like

76
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: that that that that you're building up, or are they

77
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: just kind of like maintaining until the All Star break?

78
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: We don't really know. But either way, he's still just

79
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: not in like fantasy to take up a spot again.

80
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: In daily you can do this, but in weekly I'm

81
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: not so sure. We hope to see some better results,

82
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: probably some bigger strikeouts stuff, you know, hitting the zone

83
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: a little bit more, but he's still not in startable range.

84
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: All right, here's a question here from D's someone dropped Goodman.

85
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: Should I drop Augustain Ramirez or Kaglione for him rest

86
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: of season? Goodman's been terrific. I think you can drop

87
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: Ramiro's form. I think that's the way to go. I

88
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: want to give Ghaglion a little bit more time. Let's

89
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: be a little patient. I think we're in Nick Kurt's

90
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: territory again, where it's Kurts. A couple of weeks I

91
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: started hitting the Unfortunately the injury happened. I want to

92
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: give gagle On a little bit more time.

93
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to drop Ogustan, who's hitting.

94
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: He's in two forty got the tip.

95
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: Last thirty days for him have not been good, though.

96
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like he said.

97
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's hitting two thirteen this month. He

98
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: hit two forty five last month. I guess they're interchangeable,

99
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: but expect a batting average on Ramirez is still over

100
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: two seventy, and he has been showing off the big pop.

101
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: The likely answer here would be tags, but like I

102
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: kind of agree with you here, it's just still it's

103
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: a small sample size. His XBA like you nailed it,

104
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: like Kurtz, his XBA is over three hundred. Still, he's

105
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 3: got a fifty percent strike fifty percent hard hit rate,

106
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: and the strikeout rates pretty manageable. He's just not walking.

107
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: He's not having like great, big popping quality at bats.

108
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: But I think it's going to go soon. If you

109
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: if you want to. You can dump Ramirez here, but

110
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: I would I would probably try not to drop tags either.

111
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 3: Seems to like give him a hundred at bats. Give

112
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: them one hundred and fifty at bats before we like

113
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: start making that move.

114
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the Yankees because they are

115
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: struggle bus right now, and they are wasting some really

116
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: good performances as well, because Clark Schmidt was terrific two

117
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: days ago. Last night, Will Warren struck out a career

118
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: high eleven batters. But it doesn't matter because the Yankees

119
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: got shut out for a third straight game twice in

120
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: a row against the freaking Angels.

121
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: Well, like it's baseball, it.

122
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: Ebbs and flows hot and cold streaks. This happens all

123
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: the time. But what's happened here to the Yankees offense?

124
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: And is it an opportunity of fantasy to start buying

125
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: some pieces of it?

126
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 3: I thought you were about to start singing Katy Perry

127
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: in there. You're like it's hot and it's cold. It's yes,

128
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: it's out. Apparently I know the song about it.

129
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: Apparently.

130
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I was waiting for using firework instead.

131
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: I don't know where you were going, No, califun.

132
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: They still do have not gonna say any of those anymore.

133
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: We're done with Katy Perry. They saw the second highest

134
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: run run differential in baseball, like runs scored to runs

135
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: given up. But that division is so crazy. I'm looking

136
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: at it. The Tampa Bay Rays are two and a

137
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: half games back on the Yankees right now, the Blue

138
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 3: Jays are three games back, and the Red Sox are

139
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: still five and a half. That's why this division is

140
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: so freaking close. Teams go through it, you know. I

141
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: think they're just going through it right now. They just

142
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: got reinforcements in Stanton. They had got I think that's

143
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: what's most puzzling. Sands back, Jazz is back, You got

144
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: the whole band back together, and that offense isn't going.

145
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: And you know, I think it's interesting how you said it.

146
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: You're wasting these great performances like Will Warren. He had

147
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: a thirty percent with percentage on his top three pitches,

148
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: used ninety six percent of his pitches. He threw sweeper

149
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: sinker and his four team and his force team was crazy.

150
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: His sinker at a fifty five percent called strike CSW percentage,

151
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: Like that's great, but that's what kind of gives you,

152
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: I think a little bit more encouragement once those bats

153
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: start to just realign and fix themselves. If Clark Schmidt

154
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: and Will Warren can keep going, this is what keeps

155
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: this division up. But this is also the type of

156
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: thing that, you know, if the trade market's starting to go,

157
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 3: maybe the Yankees are going to look somewhere. I think

158
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 3: I think they've been tied to the Luis Roberts stuff.

159
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 3: You know, maybe they look for not that you know

160
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: that's going to be a spark player.

161
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say Roberts, probably not. I don't.

162
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: I don't see that one. I kept saying the Ryan

163
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: McMahon one. You know, I had said that, while I

164
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: think that makes a ton of sense, because Chisholm, you

165
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: can kind of play all over you know, McMahon, you

166
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: can play it first or second or third. You can

167
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: kind of move him all over the dime. And I

168
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: think the Yankees like that kind of player. I think

169
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: it'd be good and yet ballpark as well. But it's

170
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: definitely been a very strange couple. You know, a couple

171
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: of days here for the New York Yankees.

172
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: Only because Judge doesn't hit homers. You feel off because

173
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: you're not seeing Judge homers.

174
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: But they're not seeing anybody hit like this, nobody. I mean,

175
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: gold Schmid's been sitting in the last couple of games

176
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: to our yesterday at least. But the other thing that's

177
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: happened in the American League Welsh is the complete disintegration

178
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: of the Central Division, just completely the grid over a

179
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: week where the Tigers are just pulled away from the pack.

180
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 2: So nine and a half, nine and a half games.

181
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: If you look here, we go, so the Tiger and

182
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: that's not like they're playing. We know they're six and

183
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: four of the last ten games.

184
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: Check this out.

185
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: The Guardians are three and seven in their last ten,

186
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: The Twins are two and eight, the Royals are two

187
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: and eight, they just got their first win yesterday in

188
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: ten games. And then the White Sox are three and

189
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: seven in the last ten. I mean, it's just disintegrade.

190
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: So if you're the Red Sox right now, you should

191
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: think that you've got a shot this you're a half

192
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: game out of the wild card. If you're any of

193
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: those teams in the East, the Rays, you think that

194
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: you've got a shot here, especially now that the Yankees

195
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: have come back down to the pack. I mean they're

196
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: two and a half games out. The Blue Jays are

197
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: three games out.

198
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really interesting here.

199
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: This American League mediocrity as we go through, Andy pa

200
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: has is not mediocre, no mediocre here four for four,

201
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: two homers, three runs scored, three Ribby's. He has got

202
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: fifteen homers two ninety three, three thirty two five thirteen,

203
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: fifteen homers and forty nine RBI, six steals to welsh

204
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: is Pie is gonna be one of the best guys

205
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: picked up.

206
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: Off the waiver wire in twenty twenty five.

207
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like it too. There's just there's so

208
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: much data that's supportive. He is a weird guy though,

209
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: Like if you are looking for, you know, the underlying

210
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: data for him to be a monster, he's not like

211
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: it's an okay barrel, it's an okay hard hit, but

212
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 3: he makes a ton of content. He gets in the ball.

213
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: He gets the ball in the air like at an

214
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: elite level twenty degrees last year, it's like sixteen and

215
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: a half this year. He does the Mookie Bets thing

216
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 3: where it's you the launch angle, sweet spot percentage of

217
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: something Mooki's always done really well. It's actually kind of mookyes,

218
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: because Mooki wouldn't have like big hard hit or barrel numbers.

219
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: He does it kind of the same, doesn't strike out

220
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 3: quality contact. He's actually underperforming against fastballs. Right now, he's

221
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: pulling the ball in the air. It is the Mooki

222
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: Bets school of hitting, and he's he's doing a killer

223
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: job at He's going to probably be like, because what

224
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 3: is he at right now, fifteen homers, six stolen bases,

225
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: two ninety three expected as two eighty five. Let's say

226
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 3: he levels out to even like two eighty you're probably

227
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: going to be minimally twenty five homers, ten to fifteen

228
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: stolen bases. He's going to be a top probably seventy five,

229
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: top one hundred. It's actually kind of reminiscent of Brian Reynolds.

230
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: Like he looks like he's gonna be a twenty five

231
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 3: to ten guy. Yeah, with high affron, that's a pretty

232
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 3: good player to have. Yeah, he's gonna be a top

233
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: one hundred guy. And I'll bet you he's like top

234
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: five to ten of the like most valuable pickups that

235
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: you probably had this season.

236
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chief is wondering where's all the Braves walk off

237
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: the Mets talk, Well, it wasn't a really fancy eleving game.

238
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to put it in there, but other things

239
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: were just more important. And if you thought that the Braves,

240
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: you know, last time I saw the Mets and that incredible, crushing, devastating,

241
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: just horrible. Just spitting the bit, crapping the bed, whatever

242
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: metaphor you want to put, whatever Welsh is them, you

243
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: want to create the bit.

244
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a real thing. It's a little horses too.

245
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 3: I've never heard spitting the bit.

246
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: Yes, spitting the bit.

247
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 3: I never heard of that.

248
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: Anyway.

249
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: It's if you thought the Braves weren't going to take

250
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: it out on the Mets the first time they saw him.

251
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: Of course they would. And still it took the extra

252
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: innings to beat the Mets, and so to hit a

253
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: home run.

254
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: But I mean, well else you want to talk about

255
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: David Peterson, another brilliant star for him? Remember I said

256
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: he get started with It's anybody because you can you

257
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: also good yesterday Seth Lugo, Let's move on to him

258
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: season high nine strikeouts, six innings, one run.

259
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: Baseball desperately needed.

260
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: For the Royals to get back on track. So good

261
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: on Seth Lugo. He's been good since he's come back

262
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: from the injury.

263
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 3: Wellsh yeah. But the rumor floating out there is that

264
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 3: the Royals are potentially looking at getting off as some

265
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: of those pieces. I mean, because if you go back

266
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 3: to the divisional stuff, I think they were third or fourth.

267
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 1: Royals, or two and a half games out of the wildcard,

268
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: eleven and a half out of first in.

269
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: The Central Man's That stupid wild card is just gonna

270
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 3: keep Well, that's the.

271
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: Thing I don't think. I don't think they're getting off

272
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: anytime soon. I think you've got another couple of weeks here.

273
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: They're going to be crucial for all of these America

274
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: League races. Somebody's gonna blink and it's gonna be interesting

275
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: to see which team.

276
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: Does yeah and what team just finally gives up on it,

277
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: because I think teams like you can look at teams

278
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: like the Diamondbacks and the Royals and you can easily

279
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: justify why they should be sellers. But in the same token,

280
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 3: they might be one or two pieces away in the

281
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 3: buying market to being able to pull out the pack here.

282
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: But the rumors were that the Royals were potentially going

283
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: to start looking at moving off to some pieces, and

284
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: Seth Lugo would seem to be a very likely piece,

285
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: and that's why I brought it up. It would be

286
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: interesting the environment that he goes to. There's some stuff.

287
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: He's got a three ERA, which is awesome, but he

288
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 3: has a four to nine to one expected ERA. Strikeouts

289
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: are down, walks are up, expected batting average is technically

290
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: at the highest number it's ever been, So you worry

291
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: about the contact rates. I guess what I'm getting at

292
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: is like, if you were to go to a team

293
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: like the Reds, you might worry, But if you were

294
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 3: to go to any like, you know, pitcher friendly environment,

295
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: even the Brewers at this point just be on the

296
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 3: lookout for it. Seth Lugo might be on the move

297
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: and it might not even be the best thing on

298
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: the plane.

299
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Brewers trade for a picture. That's just absurd.

300
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: They need a bat, they need Suarez, they need somebody

301
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: else in that I mean, honesty, Swarz is the perfect

302
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: good for them, but I've already done that for everybody well,

303
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: but more perfect for them. They have a whole third base.

304
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: They need another bat in the middle of that. Order

305
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: they need more pop. I mean, it's just perfect. Cal

306
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: Rawley also might be perfect this year. Three for four,

307
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: another home earn from him. He got to hold the

308
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: tried and the dugout yesterday. Sal Perez also contributing to

309
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: that Lugo victory with a pair of home runs. Hobby

310
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Baiez also had a pair of solo home runs yesterday,

311
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: so he had gotten a little stone cold. He's starting

312
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: to heat up a little bit too recently. But it's

313
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: time to talk about Hazous Lozardo, who had seemed to

314
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: course correct and yesterday was a bit of a weird

315
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: outing four runs and five innings for him.

316
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: They didn't hit him that hard.

317
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: He did give up a home earn a bunch of singles,

318
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: but he had four walks in this game. So any

319
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: takeaways from yesterday's Hazus Lozardo start Welsh.

320
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know which direction this is gonna go

321
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: so far, for we're looking at the splits. April was

322
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 3: incredible one four to four, era, May five, five, six,

323
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: and now he's up to at eight point seven to

324
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: eight so far. Now they are weighted by a bad

325
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 3: start like the June had the eight earned runs, which

326
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: was really bad, but even looking back at May actually

327
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: really Oh no, it was the Milwaukee Brewers one. Yeah,

328
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 3: so it was a twelve earned runs he gave up

329
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: against the Brewers and then he had eight turned runs

330
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: against Toronto. Those piggybacked on both sides of the month,

331
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: which make the month splits look really weird. And the

332
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: reason I'm bringing it up is he's got a four

333
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: to four to one ERA, but a three and a

334
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 3: half expected era still barreling. The barrel rate that he's

335
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: giving up as a pitcher to hitters is lower than

336
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: it's been before. Strikeouts are still up. I guess I'm

337
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: I guess I want to still say this is kind

338
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: of a bye. He's actually underperformed with his sweeper. It's

339
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: the batting average versus the expected is lower. Same with

340
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: the change up, so there's still some room for growth

341
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: as far as his pitches go. And he's very like

342
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: he's actually kind of a sneaky one because if people

343
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: go and they're like, you want to acquire he's his

344
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: Lozardo and people go and look, they see all he's

345
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: the areas in the fours. What has he done per month?

346
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: Like we would do, Oh, look at these months, these

347
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: have been really bad. But those months, those aren't. Those

348
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: are fabricated. That's one start in each one of those

349
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: months that absolutely implodes that up.

350
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: I remember, I give you the other stat last week too,

351
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: were right handed hitters were crushing him this year. And

352
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: to me, that was the troubling one of all the stats.

353
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't the one bad start, you know, the two

354
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: bad in a row or any of that stuff, for

355
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: the fact that they came in different months. It was

356
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: more the ooh, right hander is hitting him in a

357
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: three hundred clip with an eight hundred plus ops like

358
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: that's a lot. That's that's not good for your long

359
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: term success as a starting pitcher, as a left handed

360
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: starting pitcher, because you're gonna face more righties just inevitably.

361
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one thing that you know can be a

362
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 3: semi positive. I'm gonna look here, what he did is okay, yeah,

363
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: so this, yeah, this is exactly it. So this is

364
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 3: his last start versus righties and lefties versus lefties. He

365
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: was it looks like eighty percent sweeper and fourteen percent fastball.

366
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: So that's how he approached left handed hitters. Right handed

367
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: hitters that went the number one usage is his change up,

368
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: And that's what I was about to say. If you're

369
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: gonna have problem with right handed hitters as as a lefty,

370
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 3: you're you're gonna want to throw more chain. And that

371
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: changeup is underperforming. It's got a two ninety batting average

372
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: against an expected two fifty. So like that pitch looks

373
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 3: like it's a bit better than it has been. He

374
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: goes for seen change up, sweeper and slider going up

375
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: against righty, So I think he's still trying to find

376
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: his rhythm. My main point here is like I think

377
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: he still has the stuff to write this ship. I

378
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: think he has the stuff to write the ship against

379
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: righty's as well. The strikeouts are there. I kind of

380
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: think he's a little bit of a buy right now

381
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: because the last month or so has been pretty pretty

382
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: poopy of Lizardo, and I think I might buy on

383
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: the cheap trade.

384
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: Rumors are blowing around here.

385
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: Mark Finesan said it might finally be time for the

386
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Angels to trade Taylor ward. That'll be a power bat

387
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: that somebody could certainly want. Marcelo Zuna could be on

388
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: the block and Josh Naylor could be traded away as well,

389
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: which brings us to today's Microsoft Chasing a Challengers segment.

390
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,520

391

392
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: redefine what's possible. Business decision makers today are turning challenges

393
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,400

Speaker 1: you with the expertise to say, bring it on.

397
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: In this segment, we're in a spotlight the.

398
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: Challenges faced by teams deciding if they're in or out

399
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: of it. With the expanded wildcard, that is getting tougher

400
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: and tougher every single year. Now we have expanded playoffs,

401
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: which is great. I'm all for it, but it is

402
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: difficult because how do you tell your fan base you're

403
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: not really in this thing when you're only a game,

404
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: two games, or even three games out of a wildcard

405
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: with so much baseball left to play. Now, it's clear

406
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: a team like the Diamondbacks I think should be sellers

407
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: because not only are they probably not in it in

408
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: a tough division this year with the San Francisco Giants,

409
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: making a huge power play for Devers with the Padres

410
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: and Dodgers still ahead of them. But they're not going

411
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: to have Corman Burns next year either. And with the

412
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: way of the rest of this rotation looks right now,

413
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you could really be honest with yourself

414
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: that Josh Naylor is going to be a guy that

415
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: you're going to necessarily build on for the future. You

416
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: need more pitching and if you can flip Nailer for it,

417
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: that should be the first guy off the is one.

418
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: But it is going to be very tricky in the

419
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: weeks to come to see which teams really start to

420
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: struggle and will they be sellers or will they hang

421
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: on for that wildcard. And that, my friends, is today's

422

427
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: I know I was asked in the chat, so we're

428
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna get to it because there's a lot of rookie

429
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: lucky stuff to talk about today, including Cam Smith four

430
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: for five, two homers yesterday. He has got his slash

431
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: up to two sixty six three point thirty six four twelve.

432
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: He's got five homers, twenty six runs, twenty six RBI,

433
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: three stolen bases. So it feels like a little bit

434
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: of progress for cam Smith and Michael Tolia.

435
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: I don't want to bury the lead. Welsh.

436
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: You supported your boy and he rewarded you three for

437
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: five with two dingers against the Nats. They scored ten

438
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: runs yesterday.

439
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: How about that? Totally? Ever turn unbelievable?

440
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: How about that, Michael? Totally He is totally a back.

441
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, but told you I'm still yeah, technically

442
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: that's what we back in the major? Is he back

443
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: to relevance, to being the guy?

444
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: Before being back?

445
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 3: Would have to He's never been the guy, you know, so,

446
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 3: but like he might be interesting because there's a lot

447
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: of power. I'm pretty intrigued with cam Smith by the way,

448
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 3: just in that like we saw this last year, we

449
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: saw some of the rookies start slow. There's still an

450
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 3: entire half of a season to go where you can

451
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: completely turn around the narrative of who you are if

452
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 3: Cam Smith finds that next level, I just think like

453
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: he could start making like it's going to be so

454
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: tough to make a run at Jacob Wilson right now,

455
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: just because of the even though he ruined that guy.

456
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: Did you see him ruin that guy's beat the streak?

457
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: Did you see that story?

458
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: No?

459
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: Incredible? Uh a guy? And you know the beat the

460
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: Street contest. Yeah, h which, by the way, I got

461
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 3: to like thirty games one time, I was number one

462
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: in the world for one day. For one day, like

463
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: six years ago, I was number one in the world.

464
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: I had no idea that was some things it is.

465
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: Some guy got up to fifty games and I guess

466
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: no one had ever gotten to fifty seven. You win

467
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 3: a million dollars or something, whatever it is, and he've

468
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: got to fifty games. And then MLB decided to tweet

469
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: he's at fifty games and tonight he's picked Jacob Wilson.

470
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 3: Jacob Wilson. In the last at bat, there's a blooper

471
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: over to right that lands, but then they scored it

472
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 3: like whatever. I'm forgetting what it was like, you know,

473
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 3: an indifferent thing error. I don't remember what it was.

474
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: But he went over four, and this guy lost his

475
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: million dollar chance because of the Jacob Wilson thing. All

476
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 3: of that to come back and say, Jacob Wilson is

477
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 3: going to be so hard to catch because what he's done.

478
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: But if the counting stats get quieter, doesn't hit quite

479
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 3: as great, and then all of a sudden you get

480
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: guys like Nick Kurtz hitting bombs. Maybe you know if

481
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: it's Roman Anthe, Christian Campbell, Cam Smith. There's so many

482
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: guys in the al but if somebody starts popping off,

483
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: I think you could make start to make the argument

484
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 3: and catch up, but it will be really tough, and

485
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: Cam is one of those guys.

486
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: I think that could I just think again.

487
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: I think Jacob Wilson is a nice player, but I

488
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: think that you know, socially in the power department, being

489
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: a little on the lighter side, you know, the batting

490
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: average are gonna come down eventually. Caglio and he was

491
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: actually on the list of guys to talk about in

492
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: this segment too.

493
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: It look another rough night for him. Another overer.

494
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: But to Welsh's point, you look at this von Page,

495
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm buying I'm still buying you. So this is the

496
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: perfect time if you didn't get him because somebody out

497
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: bid you or somebody dropped him. This is the time

498
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: to go get him. Shower leagues ten team leagues now,

499
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: but twelve and above you do it.

500
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: Fun fact time. Everybody loves fun facts. Ben Brown not

501
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 2: just fourth victory?

502
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: Why because he pitched at nighttime yesterday? We gave you

503
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: the splits on Ben Brown Welsh. I almost bet on it,

504
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: just on principle because it was in the evening.

505
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: I did not.

506
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: I got busy with coaching football yesterday and other things.

507
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: But what'd you think yesterday?

508
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: Just amazing? Right? That split is just money in the

509
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 2: bank right now.

510
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: It's the weirdest thing weird. I just can't even I

511
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 3: can't even understand. I think opposing teams to just get

512
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: like those big like big lights sunlights and just like

513
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 3: shine it at him to make him think it's the

514
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: day to ruin it, because if it is real, it

515
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: is the most vampire like split I've ever seen in

516
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: my life, and he truly might be just a night walker.

517
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: Rest of season. Kurts are CAGs.

518
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 3: I think right now you'd have to say Kurts.

519
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

520
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: I think they asked us yesterday too, when we said

521
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: that I'm still saying the same thing.

522
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: I don't remember today, but start.

523
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: I start Ben Brown strictly based on the night game.

524
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: Now you see, Yes, just he's a night you start,

525
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: you put in the day time. I don't care how good.

526
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't care if he's facing the White Sox. I

527
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: don't care saying the Marlins. I don't care staying the Rockies.

528
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: I ain't starting him. I'm just not until further notice.

529
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: Let him have one good start.

530
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: What will you do if he does have a good

531
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 3: day start well that.

532
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: He would probably need. He would probably have to do

533
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: it more than once.

534
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: For me to be a believed Oh is this a

535
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: jack Lighter thing? He's gonna need six straight for him

536
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 3: to be good.

537
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 2: Jack Lighter?

538
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: Did he pitch yesterday? Let's get to the ups and downs.

539
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: Welsh Vlad Guerrero Junior three for four with a home run.

540
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: That's an up double three RBI. Slay Chacony surprisingly solid lately,

541
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: two runs, six strikeouts, five innings, Brian Who seven innings

542
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: of his own, shutout innings. There were a couple downs, though,

543
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: wel Chad Patrick unfortunately losing effort, four runs, six hits

544
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: over five innings. Walker Bueller might have pitched himself out

545
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: of the rotation now, I don't know. Eight runs, two

546
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: strikeouts in three and the third innings. Giolito has left

547
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: him in the dust. Walker Bueller. If you listen close

548
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: last night, you heard the sound of Walker Bueller being

549
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: dropped in leagues, just hitting the floor in every single

550
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: league that he was rostered.

551
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: Red Sox and the pitchers, Hey, you gotta go trade for.

552
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: Some Richard Fitz is working out again. He's throwing and

553
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: the third and final down it's a ranger starter from

554
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: me yesterday, Jack Lighter. That's it was six runs on

555
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: eight hits and five and two thirds. Does is qualify

556
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,239
Speaker 1: is a good start? I just I think this was bad, right,

557
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: just bad.

558
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 3: I'm not going to engage you on that. People are

559
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: getting annoyed the bit because it is annoying. But yes,

560
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: two bad starts, he ha said, definitely had two bad starts.

561
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: This one firs one bad start for him to be garbage,

562
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 3: and it takes six for him to be good.

563
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely well, certainly last one wasn't good.

564
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: It was bad. This one was very bad. I would say, Yes,

565
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: let's get to the injuries.

566
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: Tyler McGill not good goes to the IL with the

567
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: right elbow sprain. Now the Mets' depth is finally being tested.

568
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he's being tested at the same time. So you

569
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: lose Sengo, you lose McGill. Some people are saying maybe

570
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: Nolan McClain. I say, it's not gonna happen. You're gonna

571
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: get Sean Manaya back, and they're gonna give Mantas another

572
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: start to get better because the last start, well the

573
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: last couple starts have not been good for him, so

574
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: he needs to find himself quickly. Otherwise, you know, they

575
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: might end up giving mclin or maybe even joanah Tong

576
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: to start, or maybe the Mets might force themselves into

577
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: a situation. But I want to talk about the long

578
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: term of this because my guess is this McGill injury.

579
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: Sengo comes back, it's fine, right whatever, you're gonna have

580
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: blackburn and rotation.

581
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 3: Now with Cam he's gone for like five weeks, SOO,

582
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: like you said, he comes back is fine, but it

583
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 3: might be like a month and a half.

584
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: Yes, But but with the All Star break in there,

585
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: it's it's the best time to do it. And again

586
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: I was all for giving him a break in the

587
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: midseason anyway, because he didn't pitch it all last year basically,

588
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: so Sega will eventually come back. You're gonna get him,

589
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: you know, by trade deadline? Could I send us in

590
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: your rotation? Uh? My guess is Tyler or McGill whenever

591
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: he returns, is bullpen bound period now? Like he is

592
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: only going to be a bullpen guy, small amount that

593
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: they're going to manage his endings the rest of the

594
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: season if he's healthy, period. This does open up an

595
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: opportunity where Sean Manya comes back. But then if Montas

596
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: isn't the guy, maybe the Mets aren't just looking for

597
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: Laura bullpen help, Maybe they are looking for a starting pitcher.

598
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: If so, who do you think that starting pitcher might

599
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: be that they would be kicking the tires for.

600
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 3: I think Sandy would be the most obvious. I'm looking

601
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 3: here because I'm trying to determine, Like, are we sure

602
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 3: that Tyler would be thrown to the bullpen?

603
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: Maybe it's my guest based on the injury that you

604
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: would only you would want to limit his ings the

605
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: rest of the year. You would want to control some

606
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: of the environments in which you know, Like again, if

607
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: he's healthy enough, you're not throwing him out there for

608
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: five inning starts anymore.

609
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 3: Well, because it's Mania, Mantes, Senga, and Peterson. Those are

610
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: without questions. So now it's like what McGill versus Griffin Canning. Yeah,

611
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 3: those are the.

612
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: And Canning's healthy and McGill is not.

613
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: And I think if you're being honest with yourself, you

614
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: can improve on either of those guys in the fifth spot.

615
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I do think you can improve on either one

616
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: of those guys. I think the two likely players that

617
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 3: But we've talked about.

618
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: This a lot.

619
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 3: It's like number one is Sandy. You know Sandy is

620
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: his last start wasn't amazing, but like there's the possibility

621
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: that you know, he is starting to rattle up. I

622
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 3: think he's had like three decent starts, and if he

623
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 3: has like another one or two, I think that trade

624
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 3: value kind of really boosts up. And I would say,

625
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 3: like Mitch Keller is one that you and I have

626
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 3: talked a lot about. We talked about on the by

627
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: Cell video that you know Mitch Keller eleven quality starts

628
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: this year. He's had seven of his last eight starts

629
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: have been quality starts. He has one win on the season,

630
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: like he's kind of you know, trotten down the thing that,

631
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 3: like Mitch Keller, might not fit the mold though of

632
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 3: some of the Mets pitching, or maybe they can.

633
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: Maybe or some of this Sandy I think does. And

634
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: Sandy has more control, and I think the Mets are

635
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: more willing to give up a prospect for a guy

636
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: like Sandy where there's another year of control. The hurdle

637
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: is that the fact that they play in the same division,

638
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: although it's the Marlins and they're the dumbest organization in

639
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: baseball probably, so I can't say the.

640
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: Thing you have to pay up. You'd have to pay

641
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: up that indivision.

642
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: But if you're the.

643
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: Mets, and you're and you were looking at, as you said,

644
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven being the labor strike of some or

645
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: lockout right some kind of issue there, you've got a

646
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: two year window with this team. If you can get

647
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: Alcontra for the rest of this year and next year,

648
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: I think you do that.

649
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 3: I think you overpitch it, don't I don't disagree, But

650
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 3: it's like, do the Marlins want to trade him to

651
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 3: a division that he will be here for another year?

652
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: That's why I think, yeah, it's going to really probably

653
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: come back to haunt them as they try to compete

654
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, spending.

655
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 3: A lot of money touche. But I think that's where

656
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 3: that cost becomes something like, you know, something like a

657
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 3: Ronnie Mauricio, which you probably don't want to pay that

658
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 3: for Sandy right now. So I don't know it's why

659
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: is Sandy still not traded? I do think the Mets

660
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 3: look at it, But I also think the Mets might

661
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 3: see themselves in potentially in a situation where they go,

662
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: do we really want to be hyper aggressive for not

663
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 3: saying Sandy's mediocre but like mediocre ish pitching, because we

664
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 3: have we have depth, you know what, we have Mantus,

665
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: we have Manaya coming back, Senga's definitely coming back. They

666
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: look at either one way we got dudes or all

667
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: these dudes keep getting hurt. But I think one of

668
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 3: those could make them push away from China.

669
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: Buy you mentioned Lugo earlier. If the Royals decided to

670
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: move on from Lugo, he's the next Met I could

671
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: see that's reuniting with him.

672
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: You know what, when the report came out that like

673
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 3: they might start looking to sell some veterans. I saw

674
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 3: somebody That's literally what it was. Was my God, bring

675
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 3: Lugo back to Yeah.

676
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a good net too.

677
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: He was very well liked by the fan base. Mouten

678
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: Francis goes to the I l with the shoulder impingement.

679
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: Masatake Osheita the answer to d H for the Red Sox.

680
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: He's getting fast tracked all the way back and while

681
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: you're a Breo also is beginning a rehab assignment. Jorkson

682
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: Profar has been playing games in Triple A starting on Tuesday,

683
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: so he is back July second.

684
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: But remember he can't play in the postseason for.

685
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: The Bravos Tyler Glass Now Cheater because he's a cheater.

686
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: The tyler Glass Now faced live hitters on Tuesday for

687
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: a two winning sim game. AJ Puck is bitching to

688
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: visit doctor Neil Ela Trosh on Thursday, which means he's

689
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna get Tommy John probably the next day.

690
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: Oh one percent. Yeah, a great moment. I just wanted

691
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: to throw this out glass. Now throw those two simulated games.

692
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: Did you know that some people probably saw this? Jerry

693
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: Harston Junior is now I think he's commenting for the

694
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 3: It has to be the Dodgers. But the he got

695
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 3: in the box, he went down to the field. Jerry

696
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: Harriston Junior, former good player, Where the hell he played everywhere?

697
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: Because I remember Scott Harriston was a diamondback. But Jerry

698
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: Harriston Jr. Goes down and he takes in it bat

699
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: versus glass now in that simulated and he got a

700
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: He got an opposite field single, which was a clear hit.

701
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 3: I thought it was awesome, awesome. I love the sixteen.

702
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: Years Orioles, Cubs, Rangers, Reds, Yankees, Padres, Nationals, Brewers, and Dodgers.

703
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: I told you he played everywhere.

704
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's working with the Dodgers now. And he took

705
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: it back. The videos online, you guys can go see.

706
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was good for him. That's what you

707
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: bragged your kids about. And your kids are like, I

708
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: don't care, Luke.

709
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: I could still play. And they're like yo, yoah, sure, sure,

710
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: all right, let me get in the boxer's of tile

711
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 3: the classes.

712
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: You know, whatever's hurt, big deal.

713
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: There were people that enjoyed my teenager conversation yesterday and

714
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: impressions apparently in the chats as I saw it too

715
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: close to her well you know, when you live with it,

716
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: you start to learn it. Luke Weaver faced live hitters Tuesday,

717
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: so he's working his way back. As I mentioned Richard

718
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: Fitz five shoutout innings. If he got dropped, you might

719
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: want to pick him up. Struck out three in the

720
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: five innings. Jordan Alvarez day to day, he says he

721
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: feels a lot better. Still no timetable, and Shane mcclan

722
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: ann had a quote very good meeting with a nerve

723
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: specialist on Tuesday end quote no timetable for his return,

724
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: but it was a good meeting.

725
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 3: Well you should throw the other day after all the negativity.

726
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: There's a video of him playing catch or having a catch,

727
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: which was.

728
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: A solid hey ed, yeah, sure we'll see all right. Well,

729
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: I think we're back on track, although I do miss

730
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: my whiteboard yesterday.

731
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: It is time for the best Bets of the Day with.

732
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: Joey p and the Welsh. I kind of like the

733
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: whiteboard better. I don't know if Kelly saw the whiteboard yesterday.

734
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: It was pretty spectacular and Welsh's reveals of the oh yeah,

735
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: how amuch? So we should do that on a Friday

736
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: because Fridays are typically lighter shows. Do you want to

737
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: do that next Friday? I want to pencil that in

738
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: for everybody could.

739
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like it would do this and then

740
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: I don't have anything written on this, so it doesn't It.

741
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: Would just eventually focus in there.

742
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: But we're gonna we're gonna do our All Star voting

743
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: that way for the Oh gotcha?

744
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 2: Right?

745
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 3: Well that was your idea, I'm giving you you Well, yeah, no,

746
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: but you want to do the fading?

747
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well no, not to like what we both reveal

748
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: at the same time, and yours will fade more dramatically because.

749
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 3: No, mine will be very dramatic. So when are we

750
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 3: doing this show?

751
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: Oh, we could do with this Friday or next Friday?

752
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: What do you want to do? Probably should do it?

753
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: Well, not next Friday because I won't be here, so

754
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 3: it had to be this Friday or Friday.

755
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: App let's do it this Friday. We've had enough baseball

756
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: to vote for the All Star Game.

757
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: I think. All right, So here you go.

758
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: It's run line day today. Let's start with the Phillies

759
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: and Johanio Suarez against the Marlins.

760
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: They're in Miami.

761
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't care minus one eleven at minus one and

762
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: a half on the run line.

763
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: For the Phillies.

764
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: Go Phillies, go, just I just expect them to just

765
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: pound the Miami Marlins into submission in this game. Detroit

766
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: pulling away from everybody schoogle against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yes, please, mother,

767
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to have some more one and a half again,

768
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: minus one and a half on the run line, minus

769
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: one twenty five.

770
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of juice.

771
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: It should be a lot more juice for this one,

772
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: because to me, you got the best pitcher in baseball,

773
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: arguably on the mound against one of the worst teams

774
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: in baseball.

775
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: Lock it up.

776
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: And then the next one is Houston on the run

777
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: line minus and a half at minus one oh four,

778
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: another unsung, un heralded great starter, Forever Valdez on the

779
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: mound facing Luis Everarino, who's been a dumpster fire this

780
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: year for the Athletics. So give me run line Central

781
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: all minus money, but none of the jews is too

782
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: much for me to stay away. Welsh, where are you

783
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: going for your bets today? On a Wednesday?

784
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 3: All right, I am gonna go down to Boston. I've

785
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 3: got some money, lines, run lines, no props. I guess

786
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 3: we're a no prop show too Tropolis. Today we are propolists.

787
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 3: I am gonna go with the Red Sox minus one

788
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: twenty today, looking back up at the matchup, because I

789
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: did not write it down after I did all of

790
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: my work. Garrett Crochet against Luis Castillo, Red Sox. This division,

791
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: it's obtainable. Garrett Crochet, their guy on the mound. Young

792
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: guys get to Luis Castillo. Louis Castillo, by the way,

793
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: we found out there were trade rumors in the off

794
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 3: season and he didn't get traded because he wanted he

795
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: wanted more money because of taxes in Boston. So if

796
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 3: everyone was wondering why he never became a Red Sox,

797
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: we found that out apparently today and he's going to

798
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: get taxed in this game. So Boston is going to

799
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: win on the money line minus one twenty with Garrett

800
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: Crochet Phillies on the run line. I'm going with you.

801
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: I found better number Ranger Swarrez going up against Adam Maser,

802
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: not Adam Aser Matt Adam Maser with the Marlins, so

803
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 3: I'm going back. I'm going to back the Phillies against

804
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 3: the Marlins pretty much every single time I can, so

805
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: I'll take the run line almost even money there and

806
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: then give me Kansas City, Texas nerfe We haven't nerfeed

807
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 3: it here in just a little bit. But Chris Boobach

808
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 3: versus Patrick Corbyn, both of these offenses kind of Patrick

809
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 3: Corbin has voodoo magic. Chris Bubich has been fantastic this

810
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 3: year minus one twenty five both of those offenses to

811
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 3: be stunted in the first inning. Nurfy run line, money line,

812
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 3: a little bit of all the lines for you. Those

813
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 3: are my bets of the day.

814

830
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,160

831
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: get a home run board, you can't get a betting board.

832
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 1: The next day you get a betting board, you can't get.

833
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 2: Home run board. I don't know what kind of operation

834
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: we're running here. Oh, what are we doing? What are

835
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: we doing here?

836
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: Pretty good operation, that's all right, just saying it's like

837
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: people are getting lazy here in mid June. There's a

838
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: guy that maybe maybe we have to have a meeting,

839
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: a closed door meeting.

840
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, the team, well one hamster wasn't searching his wheel

841
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 3: enough so we can get the home run board out.

842
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 3: It's okay, And now you know what, I don't want

843
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 3: to see it. I want to see that stupid boord.

844
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 3: I haven't had a home run my home run drought.

845
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess I did get Pete a Lonzo

846
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 3: a couple of.

847
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: Week ago, A weekend ago. Yeah, get two weeks Ago

848
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 2: again as.

849
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 3: Been had a homer since. So I'm going to go

850
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 3: in the same game. But I'm gonna go Vladdie. I'm

851
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 3: gonna go against the Diamondbacks. I salty just again watching

852
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: at Wardo Rodriguez. He's just a home run machine. Like

853
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 3: he throws an eighty seven eighty eight mile an hour fastball.

854
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 3: If his change up is off at all, Uh, he's

855
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: gonna just get banged around. And I think I think

856
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 3: we're getting two from Vladdie today against at Wardo. I

857
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 3: just don't buy it. So Vladimir Guerrero Junior from my

858
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 3: home run call. I also thought about Kutel. I kind

859
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 3: of like that matchup. Maybe maybe you know what, maybe

860
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, it's just runs in

861
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: this game, which you should betting. Maybe there's an over.

862
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 3: What is the over in that game?

863
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: It is?

864
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 3: I think it's like eight and a half, nine and

865
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 3: a half lower Rodriguez. But give me Vlattie.

866
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: Okay, there you have it. Everybody remember going to the discord.
