1
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody. Welcome into Fantasy pros.

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 2: This is leading off live the Fantasy Baseball Podcast. I'm

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: your host, Joe Rico, and today I'm joined by my

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 2: good friend Casey Bubba. As usual here in September, we

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: talk to you through all the fantasy baseball headlines, news

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: and notes, injuries, and all the rest of the good

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: East Bubba great, be back with you, my friend.

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: How you doing today?

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: Doing well? The Friday, heading into another weekend. Got three

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: weeks of baseball left. There's some other sport being played

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: on another feed. We have so all that great stuff,

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: but baseball is still going strong in my world and

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: I'm guessing yours as well.

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this is a crazy time of year

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: right now.

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: Man.

17
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: As soon as the Thursday night football game started yesterday

18
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: and my brain was like, okay, now it's crunch time.

19
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 3: Now.

20
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: We only have a couple of weeks left. We do

21
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 1: have some.

22
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: Football questions in the chat, as we did the other day.

23
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: I'm not again, like I'll say the other day, I'm

24
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: not gonna be the one who can answer these. I'm

25
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: picking Ricky Paul probably in that first one, and probably

26
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: put Checko for the second one, but I'm not the guys.

27
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: Go over to the football feed, Go over to Fantasy

Speaker 2: that would be much appreciated. And we really appreciate Michael,

54
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: who just resubbed with Prime. He says he almost feels

55
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: out of touch having a bye this week. Someone dropped

56
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: Keishel in his league worth grabbing him and dropping Simpson Bubba.

57
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: What are your initial thoughts on that one?

58
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: Honestly, if I'm guessing bye week means he has a

59
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: head to head format for the playoffs, I would lean

60
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: Keishel because he's going to be more category Simpsons, primarily

61
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: as steals. Maybe some bad and average er Keishel's could

62
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: help in all five categories. So I'm just off of

63
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: what I think his league format is. I would go

64
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: Keishel pretty quickly.

65
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I agree, unless you're super super desperate

66
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: for speed.

67
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: I think Keishall is a more well rounded player, but

68
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: we are going to dive into some of the headlines.

69
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: We'll get to some of your questions later.

70
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: So fill up the chat and we will do a

71
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: little segment later to answer your questions. Well, let's start

72
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: off with Paul Skeins. I don't even know what to

73
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: do with this guy anymore. He's just so good. Six

74
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: innings yesterday with eight strikeouts against the Dodgers, two run balls,

75
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: two hits, one hundred and seventy three innings this year.

76
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: It's one hundred.

77
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: It's a one ninety eight ERA, a point nine to

78
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: four whip, is a twenty three point one strike up

79
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: minus walk craton. We're at the point where Skeens has

80
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: a good number of innings under his belt. It's over

81
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: three hundred, three hundred and six innings and it's a

82
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: one nine to seven ERA and a point nine to

83
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: four whip. I don't even know how to categorize as

84
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: anymore like this. He might be the best pitcher in baseball.

85
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: He might not be, but I don't know that I

86
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: remember seeing a pitcher start their career on fire to

87
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: this degree. I don't know what to make of him, Babba.

88
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: I think that he's the best picture in the league, probably,

89
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: But what are.

90
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Paul Skeens.

91
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: I'll still get Scooble that nod, but it's nothing against

92
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: Paul Skeens. Skeens has been awesome. He's got that pedro

93
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: esque stat line that you're reading off there that we've seen.

94
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: He's a beast. If he was on a better team,

95
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: we'd talk about him even more. To put it that way,

96
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: he's pretty darn good. It's actually impressive. Last night we

97
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: found we've taking in on him. He's got ten wins

98
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: on the year, so that's come quick after he seems

99
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: like he had none forever. But yeah, he's one of

100
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: the best. I'll say that much. He's pretty darn good.

101
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: He's super young, He's built like a horse, so hopefully

102
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 3: that longevity sticks there and hopefully gets out of Pittsburgh

103
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: where he can be appreciated more.

104
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: So you think it's I don't have any real argument

105
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: of Scooble over schemes. Do you think we'll see scooball

106
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: go over skiins pretty consistently in drafts next year?

107
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: Do you think there'll be some mixing and matching there.

108
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: I still think it's Scoble over Skins. We've seen it

109
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: back to back years and he's probably gonna win the

110
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: Alsa Young for the second straight season. Deconsistency that he's shown,

111
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: not that Skeins hasn't. Obviously, I think there will still

112
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: be a little bump there for sure.

113
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like be saying here in the chat it's

114
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: a better team context, more win probability. I think it's

115
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: still Scoobale. But Paul Skins man just unbelievable every time out.

116
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: It seems like he's doing amazing things. But let's keep

117
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: it going here with Rangers Suarez, another strong day for him.

118
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: This one came against the Brewer short slate yesterday. We

119
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 2: do have a pretty full list of headlines anyway. Six innings,

120
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: six heads nowhere and runs, two walks and four strikeouts.

121
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: Rangers Suarez is somebody that I think was relatively cheap

122
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: in draft season. From what I remember, he's giving you

123
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: a two eighty nine ERA and a one eighteen whip,

124
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 2: but importantly for fantasy managers as well, eleven wins in

125
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: his twenty two starts. What do you make a Ranger Suarez?

126
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: We've seen some pretty consistent production from him over the years,

127
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: but he still doesn't feel like a safe pick necessarily.

128
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, thinking forward to twenty twenty six, I don't

129
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: think of Suarez is like, oh, I'll take him as

130
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: MYSP three, and it's you know, I'm good to go there.

131
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 2: I think there's still some worry in the back of

132
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: my head, but maybe that's not justified anymore.

133
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: But but what do you think.

134
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: He's going to have his hiccups? That's for sure. We

135
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 3: saw him absolutely dominate to start the season once he

136
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: came off the il, of course, and then he like

137
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: I said, the hiccups were there, but he's back to

138
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: being that guy. He's always been a pretty strong strikeout

139
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: arm when he's rocking and rolling and ratios of honestly,

140
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: he's been a very solid pitcher. He's not quite a

141
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: fantasy too, probably, but at least a three pretty religiously

142
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: win healthy and like he said, we're seeing that again

143
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: that he's just PC down. It's from two and runds

144
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: or less in four straight starts after he had like

145
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: a four to five star hiccup in the middle there,

146
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: but prior to that was three year in runs or

147
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: less every single start. So I think it's who he is.

148
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: You roll with them. But fact, like you said, he

149
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: went into Milwaukee, which is definitely one of the best

150
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 3: teams in baseball right now, and took care of business.

151
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: It's good. It's a good arm to have for the

152
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: final three weeks of the season.

153
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah.

154
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: I think he's the kind of guy where maybe he's

155
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 2: just a boring player that will return value and he's

156
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: just somebody that will get passed up in drafts because

157
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: people want to shoot for the upside and shoot for

158
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: the moon.

159
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: But good team context, He's been.

160
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: Performing for the majority of his career at this point,

161
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: so maybe I need to give him a little bit

162
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: more respect than I am. Rangers Suarez on the other

163
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: side of that matchup, though, Freddy Peralta another great start

164
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: his season as a whole, I think it may have

165
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: flown under the radar to some degree a little bit.

166
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: He's a two to five to zero era, a one

167
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: zero seven whip and sixteen wins, which to lead Major

168
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: League Baseball, and he's actually the sp if you look

169
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 2: at the Fangrafts player raider behind Crochet.

170
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: If all these schemes Intererique.

171
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: Schooble, are we not respecting Freddy Parlta enough should he

172
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: be somebody that is in that like third round mix

173
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: next year in the top ten starting pitchers for you.

174
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: Well, as I refer to him, it's Frederick Peralta, and

175
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: that's the respect I put on him there. But yes,

176
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: he's absolutely outstanding. I think he always falls out the

177
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: top ten because a and he's even doing it this year.

178
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: He doesn't go past five six innings like ever, so

179
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: he doesn't go deep into games. He still has a

180
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: bit of a walk issue that's been a thing as

181
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: whip so it's not the you know, he gets you

182
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: a little whipsawd from time to time. But one reason

183
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: I've always loved him is the strikeouts are as legit

184
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: as they come. Like he's one of the few guys

185
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: that gets you one ninety two hundred plus strikeouts potentially

186
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: year and year out. So top ten loose term, I could,

187
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: I won't argue if someone wants to put him in

188
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: the back end of the top ten. He's definitely like

189
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: a top fifteen for me. I love him, like even

190
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: this past season. If you can go into a draft

191
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: and somehow Freddy's your sp two outstanding. I did an

192
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: online Championship. He was my first pitcher. I took him

193
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: in round nine. He fell that far happy as could be.

194
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: So I love Freddy what he's doing, I believe in

195
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: it's just he's I don't think he gets the love

196
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: because he doesn't go deep into games.

197
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's pretty fair. But Peralta, what

198
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: he's done throughout his whole career has been pretty consistent.

199
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: Like there have been some ups and downs. It's probably

200
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: the best we've ever seen of him. But I've never

201
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: really looked at him as anything less than maybe an

202
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: SP two for fantasy.

203
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 1: And the price this year was so good.

204
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: I made the decision a couple of times between him

205
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: and Zach Allen in drafts a couple times this year

206
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: and could not have been more of a binary choice

207
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: there between having a good season and having a bad season.

208
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: Gallan turned around a little bit recently, which is good

209
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: to see, But man, I wish I picked p Alta

210
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: every single time. Ryan BCFB first time chatter, is this

211
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: who I think it is?

212
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Bubba?

213
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: It is exactly who you think he is because it

214
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: is on his second shift of the day. He's a

215
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: die hard college football NCAA player, so that is who

216
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 3: you think it is, and just saying he's not bad

217
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: at what he does. He does his show called Bubba

218
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: the bloom just throwing it out there.

219
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he might have a whole shelf full

220
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: of FSWA awards and whatnot, and I might as well

221
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: just say it now, Ryan Bloomfield from who will be

222
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: my co on Monday for the show sitting in for

223
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: Bubba who will not be able to make it. But

224
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: we can't get Bubba, we might as well get bloom

225
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: That one will be a lot of fun. You got me,

226
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: We do, indeed gotcha, Ryan. I didn't get it at first, BCFB,

227
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: and I'm off my game today. I should have figured

228
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 2: that one out a little bit sooner. Let's talk to

229
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: Jordan Alvarez, who is back and he has actually really

230
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: been performing well. He hit a second home run since

231
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: returning from the injured list, and I think I got

232
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: like several messages that were not even a question.

233
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: Yesterday was just thank God, thank God.

234
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: I've waited around for ord On and he is finally

235
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: here for the Fantasy playoffs. And what he's done is

236
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 2: he's come back fourteen for twenty eight seven runs to

237
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: home or seven ribbys. The question here really for me

238
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: is what do we do with him next year? Because

239
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: if you have him this year, obviously you're starting him.

240
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: He was isn't dropped anywhere, or if he was, then

241
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: you picked him up already. I don't know what the

242
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: what the price am ASTs for next year. Is he

243
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: a second rounder? Is he a potential end of the

244
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 2: first rounder.

245
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Is he into the third round?

246
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: I have no idea, But but where are you at right

247
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: now on jord Nolverez's evaluation.

248
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 3: I usually avoid him because of the injury concerns. I

249
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: know it's a bad like he plait one hundred and

250
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: forty seven games last year, but then it was one fourteen,

251
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: one thirty five, one forty four, so he's all over

252
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: the board. He saw thirty home runs in four straight seasons.

253
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: He had two ninety or better over three hundred for

254
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 3: two of the last three. Like the tools are amazing.

255
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: I should maybe be more interested. He's played thirty six

256
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: games this year, so that's been a big bummer. If

257
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: you avoided that. I think he'll still go in the

258
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: second round because people will see that batting average. And

259
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 3: we talked about how it. You know, it's a rodostat

260
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: that seems to get overlooked from time time to time,

261
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: but it's one of those that when the league average

262
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: is hitting like two forty, to get a guy hitting

263
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: three hundred is more than tremendous, not to mention the

264
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 3: power he brings to the table. Not a big run

265
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: producer though, if you want to, like, if I want

266
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: to throw a grain of salt there, he's never had

267
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: one hundred rb ice well anyone, Sorry, it's been a

268
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: while because he's had one hundred RV guys, you'd think

269
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: a guy with his power would just destroy things. So

270
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: someone will take him in the second round. It will

271
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 3: not be me. Now, if you filled the third round,

272
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: I'd have a hard time saying no. But I am

273
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: always concerned with these injury guys. It's just who I am.

274
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this profile is one that I really

275
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: like in the last couple of years, with the way

276
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: that steels are easier to get. If you can get

277
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: a guy who's going to hit three hundred, who's going

278
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: to hit you thirty thirty five homers, that's the whole

279
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: argument for taking Vlad at the end of the first round. Now,

280
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: Vlad has been completely opposite in terms of jord On

281
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: in terms of durability in his career. But that type

282
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: of profile where you're getting a high batting average with power,

283
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 2: I think, like you said, that'll keep people interested in

284
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: him in the second round, and if he falls to

285
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: the third, I'm going to be clicking draft quite a bit,

286
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: and I'll probably slip it on the banana peel again

287
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: because's the astros and who really knows with them what

288
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 2: to make of anybody. But let's talk about another guy

289
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: who's been disappointing this year. Not to the same level

290
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: as Yard and Alvarez, but Mookie Betts went Yard yesterday

291
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: and started to turn his season around a little bit

292
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: as of late. Over the last thirty days, he's hitting

293
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: three twenty six, twenty runs scored, four homers, and thirteen ribies.

294
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: But overall for Muki, it has still been a really

295
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: disappointing season. I feel for those who might have paired

296
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: Jordan Alvarezen Mooki Bets at the first and second round,

297
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: but I mean ninety six WRC plus for Mookie, He's

298
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: hitting two fifty, only fifteen homers, single digits, steals for

299
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: the first time since twenty fourteen.

300
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna be a fade on.

301
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: Mooki next year. I think he's gonna be a guy

302
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: where the name value still keeps him too expensive for me.

303
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: Bubb what do you think?

304
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been fading him for a little while now,

305
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: like it kind of backfired in twenty two and twenty three,

306
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: to be fair, but the other years, like he always

307
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: gets massive hype and he's, like I said, outside of

308
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: two years, has he really met that first or second

309
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: round value? Probably not. We don't play in a WRC

310
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: plus league unfortunately, so that that ruins that for us.

311
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 3: But with Mooki, I guess the question for people is

312
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: do you believe the early illness that made him lose

313
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: all the way? Do you think that's the reason. I

314
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: don't think so, because I figured that would be fixed

315
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: by now, just my assumption with all the money the

316
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: Dodgers have, So I'm out. I've always been out on Mooki.

317
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 3: Heck of a talent, but I think he's gonna be

318
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: thirty three next year. We might be looking towards a

319
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: different path here.

320
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we mentioned it on the show the other day.

321
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: Age thirty two to age thirty three. There's a lot

322
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: of data that shows that can be the time when

323
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: players kind of fall off. While his barrel rates at

324
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 2: four point four percent, hard hit rate at thirty four,

325
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: average EV at eighty eight, max EV at one oh seven,

326
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: these are all the lowest numbers I believe in his career.

327
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: Just doing a quick glance, certainly the worst he's been

328
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: in a long time, especially in terms of the barrels.

329
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: Four and a half percent barrel rate is pretty terrible.

330
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: So I think Mooki is probably gonna have to be

331
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: a fade at this point, unfortunately, unless he starts to fall.

332
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: But like I said, the fact that he's mookie best,

333
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: he probably won't fall that much. But you know, just

334
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: coming you said, we don't play in WRC plus league,

335
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't be fun. If there was a league that was

336
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: just advanced stats x fIF WRC plus stuff plus about

337
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: that would be kind of a fun little league to play.

338
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: And I think we.

339
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 3: Lose ninety percent of the NPC audience, so it'll be entertaining.

340
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: Might be worth it, might be worth it.

341
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: At that point, let's talk VINNP who I know you

342
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: have no problem talking about Bubba twenty ninth home run

343
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: of the season yesterday. He's hit ten in the last

344
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: thirty days. He and Bryce Terrang have been eating their

345
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: weedies in the month of August and into September because

346
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: they have been just hitting the cover off the ball.

347
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: First base is a very deep position, and because of that,

348
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: Vinnip is still eleventh for the season. But I feel

349
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: like he's probably somebody I'm going to rank as a

350
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: top ten first baseman next year. He's giving you tons

351
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: of power. He's giving you the RBI. The batting average

352
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: isn't quite as high as I was hoping, necessarily at

353
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: two fifty eight, but like we talk about all the time,

354
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: the league average is like two thirty three or something,

355
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: So two fifty eight you're still taking it. I love Vinp.

356
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: I've really fallen in love with him this season. But

357
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: but is he a top ten first basement heading in

358
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: the next year.

359
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: I think so. Like I'm looking at the meatball draft,

360
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: he was like the seventh or eighth first basement on

361
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: the board, and yours truly took him with that. I

362
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: love Vinip. He's helping me tremendously in an auction league

363
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: this year because he was so cheap. Because people kind

364
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: of overlooked him because of recent performances between the shoulder injuries.

365
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: He's healthy this year. The power's there. He's still driving

366
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: in a ton of runs, hit in the middle of

367
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: that order. He'still hitting for the same average. Like, the

368
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: skills are awesome and he's only twenty seven. Like, I

369
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: love everything about VNP as long as those shoulders stay intach.

370
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: I don't see why he can't do this or maybe

371
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: more for the next three four years least.

372
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's surprising that, like looking at wins above replacement,

373
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: not that we really care about that for fantasy, but

374
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: he's only at one point two, And I guess it's

375
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: because the defensive adjustments really really hurt you there.

376
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: At first, you look at his defensive numbers. That's bad.

377
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: He's bad at defense.

378
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: It looks like negative three defensive runs save negative three

379
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: holts have average. Yeah, that's not exactly anything too right.

380
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: Now you feel like at defensive war it's minus twelve

381
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: point eight.

382
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: Man, I feel like first basement, get the first baseman

383
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: get hit a little bit too much, I think, But

384
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm actually not that familiar with vnp's defensive

385
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: active and off the top of my head. But the

386
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: DRS and OIA is not amazing from him, But we

387
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: don't really care about that.

388
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: As long as he's hitting thirty, we're driving in one hundred.

389
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: And he's the type of guy I think it's spike

390
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: a three hundred season pretty easily given his profile, or

391
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: even into the two eighties two nineties, it wouldn't really

392
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: surprise me. Let's talk PCA. He's been benched the last

393
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: couple of games. The Cubs are trying to give him

394
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: a little bit of a mental rest. I feel like

395
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: if you have PCA, it would be very hard to

396
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: actually bench him, but it would have been the correct

397
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: call for the last couple of months at this point.

398
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: Let's say he gets back in the lineup over the

399
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: weekend after this bit of a mental reset where you

400
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: have him, would you be sticking him back in there

401
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: in there or would you be leaving him on the

402
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: bench for a while.

403
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: He's on the bench until otherwise, like since the All

404
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: Star break, two twelve three homers, four steals. That is horrific.

405
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: He's crushing your team. I've told people in our discord

406
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: for Bubb and the Bloom that ten teams you should

407
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 3: drop him twelve teams, I wouldn't stop you fifteams. You

408
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: hold in bench like he's were three weeks left in

409
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: the year. Especially if you're in like a head to head,

410
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: like a playoff format, you can't afford to hope he

411
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: figures it out, like you need to play guys that

412
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 3: are producing. And yeah, it was a phenomenal first half

413
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: of the season, but we talked twenty twenty six a

414
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: lot shoe. He is going to be a very difficult

415
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: one to figure out because the skills we saw, the

416
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 3: results we saw in the first half. We all kept saying, like,

417
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: the skills that are being showcased are still like tough

418
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 3: to believe. Now he's doing this in the second half,

419
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: so the analysis for twenty twenty six be really tricky.

420
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Beck, who's a friend who covers the minor leagues

421
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: and prospects. He tweeted a couple I think it was

422
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: a couple months ago he said Pete Armstrong was breaking

423
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 2: everything I thought I knew about player evaluation, and then

424
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: he quoted that a few weeks ago.

425
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, maybe not maybe not. Things do even out.

426
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: But even with things evening out for the season, PCA

427
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: is a twenty six dollars player, twenty first ranked player overall,

428
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 2: still ahead of guys like Corbyn Carroll, ahead of Yelich,

429
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: ahead of Terrang, ahead of Kyle Talker like he still

430
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: had overall a very good season. I think that'll be

431
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: what people need to figure out heading into drafts. I

432
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: thought that he could potentially get into the first round.

433
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: That was a few weeks ago. Now I'm thinking it's

434
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: been bad enough where you'll get him in the second,

435
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: potentially even into the third round in some rooms.

436
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: But it'll be an interesting one to follow.

437
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: If PCA has a smoke in hot September, you might

438
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: go back in the first round.

439
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: Right.

440
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: So this is gonna be a very volatile price to

441
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: pay attention to over the next couple months. But that's

442
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: why we do it. This is why we do it.

443
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: We love That's why I do it anyway. I love

444
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: following these market trends heading into draft season. Where guy's

445
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 2: going in November versus where he's going in March. I

446
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: eat that stuff up. Is Parker Messic a good streamer

447
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: for today? I personally don't like it. Against the Rays

448
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: at home, he's been pretty good. I feel like if

449
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: you have better options and you want to sit him,

450
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: then that's fine. But I like Parker Messick quite a bit.

451
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have any problem starting him. But but what

452
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: about you.

453
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 3: Not knowing the format if it's twelve team or shallow

454
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: or I probably wouldn't because of the Tampa Bay Ballpark.

455
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: They do hit lefties, Okay, is what I'll say. That

456
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: just scares me. Messic out lit up in his last start.

457
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 3: So our outlet up got hit harder in his last start,

458
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: I should say, so I be cautious.

459
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: Okay, you guys done with Yuri now ten teamer? Usually

460
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 2: I would say probably, But it's a keyper for so.

461
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: I think it depends on how many keepers you have.

462
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: If it's like two keepers, probably not. If you have

463
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: five or six keepers, I think you got to probably

464
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: keep ery there. But it really depends on how many

465
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: so big dance. If you can follow that up, I will.

466
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: I think a little bit more contacts would really help

467
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 2: with that one. What to do with Tucker and at

468
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: least for Friday starts, both of their statuses are super sketchy.

469
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 2: I think you just got to check back in right

470
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: before game time. If you're in a daily lineup league.

471
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: If you're setting your lineup for Friday through Sunday like

472
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: you would on the NFBC, Bubba, and we don't have

473
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 2: much clarity. Or let's say they're sitting out Friday, would

474
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 2: that make them a sit for the weekend for you?

475
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm already put Adelease on my bench. I'd be

476
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: surprised if he plays a full weekend. Good thing with Tucker.

477
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 3: They have the early game today and Wrigley, so we'll

478
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: have a good idea. If he's out on Friday, I'd

479
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: probably mention him, even though I feel like he's back

480
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 3: at least Saturday or Sunday. But still that's not going

481
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: to do you much. So most are like Tucker. If

482
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 3: he's out, you're good. I don't think atleast plays much

483
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 3: of the weekend.

484
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: I think that's that's the right call, Van Rod. Who

485
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: would you rather pick up? No, Bill chris Maatt k

486
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 2: Cavali or Joey Cantillo. I kind of like Kate Cavali,

487
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: But Bubbo, what do.

488
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: You think here?

489
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: It's a good one because I get made fun of

490
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 3: on my show with Ryan that I like to Bill

491
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 3: chris Man in deeper formats. But Kate Cavali has a

492
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: two step coming up next week at Miami and Pittsburgh.

493
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: So go pick up cage FUIVALI please and roll with

494
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 3: that one.

495
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: That is good information, that is U. I think I'm

496
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: gonna have to make that pick up myself in a

497
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: couple of cases. Would you start Pavetta tonight at Colorado?

498
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely for me. Pavetta has been great this season.

499
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 3: Or even think about it.

500
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think about it.

501
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: I understand it.

502
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: Trust me. With Pavetta's history with the Homers in Colorado,

503
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I get the question. But I'm starting him. He's been

504
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: brilliant this year.

505
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: Finally the year that I essentially kind of tap out

506
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 2: a little bit on Pavetta, this is the year it happens.

507
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: Of course, where do you guys think Carol will go

508
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: in drafts next year? I have him as a keeper

509
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: for round three, thinking I might go another direction round three.

510
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: Calm, thank you.

511
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: He's a top five pick right now. I think I

512
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: would say, at best top ten, but I would not

513
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: be surprised if he's like the fourth or fifth pick

514
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 3: in some drafts. The way he's playing.

515
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the twenty seventh player as a whole for

516
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: the season. And I talked about this. I don't know

517
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: if it was on this show or if it was

518
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: on Sleeper in the Bus, but Corbyn Carroll's had his

519
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 2: best season of his career this year and it's kind

520
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: of fallen under the radar. One forty WRC plus is

521
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: the best he's had, five point seven war, twenty nine homers. Yeah,

522
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: he doesn't steal as much as he used to, but

523
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: it's gonna be another year of one hundred and fifteen runs.

524
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: He's gonna hit thirty homers, maybe get up to thirty steals.

525
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 2: If you get him in the third round, you should

526
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: be licking your chops because that is a phenomenal, phenomenal

527
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: third round keeper a hundred. Goodman dropped my head to

528
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: head league yesterday for whatever reason. Should I drop Jeremiah Jackson?

529
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: I think it depends on who you're trotting out to

530
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: catcher right now, personally, because I'd want to have Goodman

531
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: in the catcher slot. If you're putting him the outfield,

532
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: I guess it's fine. But but but what are your

533
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: thoughts on this one?

534
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, for Ketch, if you need a catcher, sure, if

535
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: you're just using him in the afflet, I'd actually keep

536
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Jackson. Colorado's on the road next week. Jackson's been hot,

537
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: he's hitting second and as long as he's swinging it,

538
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 3: well you roll with it.

539
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

540
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: It's the time of year where there's no more like well,

541
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: there's some time to turn it around, like it's whoever's

542
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: performing today and tomorrow.

543
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: So you've got to be focusing in on. Is CAGs

544
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: a drop?

545
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: I don't see him having an impact considering he's sharing

546
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: time now, he's been back for three games, he's sat

547
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: for two of them. I don't love it, Babba. I

548
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: gotta be honest. I think in most of leagues people

549
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: can probably move on.

550
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he can. Like I was telling people

551
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 3: on our show is the Royals, he could have come

552
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 3: off the IL like a week or two ago and

553
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: they fled out and said we're not calling him up

554
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: until he has regular playing time. Well he got called

555
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: up after the roster's expanded, thus still in a regular

556
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: playing time. So I'm concerned.

557
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: Man.

558
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 2: I thought CAGs would be would be Nick Kurtz, Like,

559
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 2: I thought it'd be the same thing, honestly, And for

560
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 2: next year, I really like buying into Caags.

561
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: But for this season, for the rest of the way.

562
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 2: Like we just said, if you're not performing right now,

563
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: you're on the chopping block. Jason, I picked up Nick

564
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: Kurts on April second. On one side, I had seen

565
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: Jim Tomay coms those who look a pretty decent right

566
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: now a little too early, But I love what I've

567
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: seen with the ex with the exception of Kurtz and Vladi,

568
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: it seems like first base our power but low average guys.

569
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: Kurtz is currently hitting three to zero eight with a

570
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: ten thirty seven OPS. Can he maintain the on base

571
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: skills long term? I think there is a chance that

572
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz continues to grow, But there's also a chance

573
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: that Nick Kurtz never has another season quite to this level,

574
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: which I don't think anybody wants to hear. But he

575
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: has a one to seventy seven WRC plus with a

576
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: fourteen percent walk rate. There's a chance that this is

577
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: the peak. Now He's probably going to put together a very,

578
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: very very good career, but I don't know that we

579
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: can expect a four oh one on base rate from him.

580
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: I think he's probably more of a three fifty to

581
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 2: three seventy OBP guy going forward, who hits thirty homers,

582
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 2: But I don't know that this is going to be

583
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: replicated year in and year out from Nick Kurtz.

584
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: But what do you think. I think the obp he's

585
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: got those skills pretty pretty solid. The badnverage what I'd

586
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: be concerned with. To your point, I think he's still

587
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 3: gonna be an absolute monster, but i'd be I'd be cautious.

588
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 3: This could be one of the best seasons we'll ever

589
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 3: see from Nick Kurtz. Unfortunately.

590
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, people were saying with PCA after the first half,

591
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: like this might be the best first half of what

592
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: he ever has And there's a chance the same thing

593
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: with Nick Kurts, like a one to seventy seven WRC

594
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: plus the only player who has a better mark this

595
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: year is Aaron Judge. So just to put into context,

596
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 2: it's higher than Hey, It's higher than even my guy,

597
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: George Springer, Kyle Schuber, Rawley, all the rest of them.

598
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: It's very hard to replicate that kind of thing unless

599
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: you are a true generational stud And if he is

600
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 2: Jim Tomey, then maybe we do see that. But Jim

601
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: Tommey had six hundred homer so that's a high bar

602
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: for sure. Twelve, real real quick, real quick, Cubs lineup

603
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: came out. Kyle Tucker is not in it, so okay,

604
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: help you folks. So that makes your decision a lot easier.

605
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: I think Tucker is riding the pine for you this

606
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: weekend are certainly for tonight. In those daily leagues, twelve

607
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: team head to head points Von Kagliow or Ben Rice.

608
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: This one is Ben Rice with a bullet for me.

609
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: Bubba, yeah, baby boy, Like he's got that short portune right,

610
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: he's swinging it. Well, you're going Ben Rice for sure.

611
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: Uncle Ben.

612
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: He's been getting it done, especially in the second half

613
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: of the year. Let's talk about a couple of transactions.

614
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: Alexis Diaz was DFAD by the Dodgers. Now there's a

615
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: part of me that thinks, in drafts next season he'll

616
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: just be essentially free and you might end up getting

617
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: twenty saved somewhere next year if he signs on. I

618
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: also think, again, this might be slipping over the banana peel.

619
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 2: But any interest in Alexis Diaz is like a late

620
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: round flyer next year in DC's Bubba.

621
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said the magic were there in DC's Maybe

622
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: I could see like rounds forty to fifty because like

623
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 3: some team might get desperate and it might not even

624
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: be a closing gig out the gate, but you know,

625
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 3: the White Sox sign him in second half of the season.

626
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: He says, ten, like there's a window for that. It's

627
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: a we're asking for a lot, but I could see

628
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 3: it as a as a flyer late for sure.

629
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: Big Dance followed up on that Yari question, ten keepers,

630
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: So I think you erry, yeah, to keep Gary unless

631
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: your team is just completely stacked.

632
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: I think I think you got to be keeping YERI there.

633
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: The other thing on the transaction list, Cal Quantrell released

634
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 2: by the Braves. A bit of a tough season for

635
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: Cala Quantrell. Do you think he catches on anywhere? Do

636
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 2: you think this could potentially maybe not the end of him,

637
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,239
Speaker 2: but I mean it's been pretty rough six oh four

638
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 2: ERA five last year, five twenty four of the year before.

639
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 2: Does somebody take a chance on Cal?

640
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 3: You think, oh, yeah, there's so many bad teams in

641
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: baseball and they want to expand two more teams. So

642
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 3: Cal Quantrill, we'll get a shot somewhere. He'll be invited

643
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 3: to spring training and who knows what actually comes of it,

644
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: but he will get a shot somewhere for sure.

645
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'll always be partial to cal but

646
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: it's pretty rough. It's been pretty rough this year.

647
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: There were some streaming opportunities earlier in the year, but

648
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: right now things are pretty dark. Rooky luckie time, Brandon

649
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: Sproute will be called up by the Mets and start

650
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 2: Sunday at Great American Ballpark.

651
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: What's your interest level, Bobba. You've thrown him into the

652
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: fire right away.

653
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: That's tough. I know people will He wasn't as good

654
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: as people think in the miners this year. Big time prospect,

655
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: no doubt about it, but skills were lacking a bit.

656
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: I'd actually probably sit this one out, but I'm always

657
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: really cautious with the young guns.

658
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Actually I hadn't dug into him so much.

659
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 2: But for twenty four era okay, one twenty four web

660
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 2: eleven percent strikeout to walk. That's nothing to write home about.

661
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: It really isn't. Great American Ballpark is a little bit worrisome.

662
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 2: Now he doesn't give up a ton of homers, which

663
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: is a good thing going into Great American Ballpark, only

664
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: nine in one hundred and twenty one innings. But I

665
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: think If you're looking at McLean and Tong, they are

666
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 2: much better. Maybe not maybe not miles ahead, but there

667
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: there definitely better. If you're looking at sprote as, somebody

668
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 2: who's gonna do what they've done might be asking a

669
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 2: little bit too much. Let's get to the three up

670
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: and three down. Andrew Vaughn three for four yesterday. Nice

671
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: to see him bounce back after he'd been pretty cool

672
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: for the last couple of weeks. Chris Morel three for

673
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 2: four with two runs and a ribby, and Kyle Teal

674
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: plus's hard three for five triple shy of the cycle,

675
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: three runs, four ribbys, and a stolen base to top

676
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: it all off. I think Kyle Teal is gonna be

677
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: my catcher two on half of my team's probably next year.

678
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: Bubba. I've completely fallen in love with him and what

679
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: he's done so far this season.

680
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 2: He won't rank terribly high on Player Raiders because he

681
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: hasn't played a ton only sixty games. He's hitting two

682
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: ninety three, six homers and three steals, and even in

683
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: a bad lineup, fifty seven runs and RBIs combined in

684
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: sixty games.

685
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm in love, Bubba.

686
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 3: Yep, he's a stud I haven't as a catcher too

687
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 3: in a lot of leagues. Are a few leagues right

688
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 3: now he will be definitely, Dude, there's a window where

689
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: he could be a catcher one if you wait on

690
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 3: catching like he is that good. And this White Sox

691
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 3: team we make fun of them, but the second half,

692
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 3: as they've let these young kids develop offensively, they're much

693
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: better than they were in the first half of the season.

694
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 3: So if they keep doing this and you have tealing

695
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: company like, he could be in for a pretty nice season.

696
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 2: I have him in a couple of leagues. The main

697
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: one that I really need him in is the Bubba

698
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: and the Bloom Auction Championship League, where I am in

699
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: second right now. First is becoming a little bit tough.

700
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: I got eleven points to catch up on so that

701
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: might be a little bit tough. But Kyle Tiel Plus

702
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: is hired doing everything you can to get me back

703
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: in that one. On the downs, Blake Snell shelled by

704
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: the Pirates five earn runs on nine hits and three walks,

705
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: Christian Javier just four and a third against the Yankees

706
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: four and runs on six hits and three walks. I

707
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: think Christian Xavier is somebody that I'm not really trusting

708
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: rest of season, Bubba. I don't know about rolling him

709
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: out in fantasy playoffs. Next start is at Toronto. I

710
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: think I don't think I can do it.

711
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 3: He's a streamer at best in the right matchups. That's

712
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 3: kind of how weirdly enough, Christian Hobbyer has always been

713
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: like there's been like the high expectations for Hobbyer. He

714
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 3: had the three ninety ARA last year, but again thirty

715
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 3: four innings if almost a four to sixty IRA the

716
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: year before. He's always had a walk issue. That's been

717
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: his biggest problem. It's been a heavy, heavy dose of walks.

718
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: Like we're talking twelve point seven, nine nine, twelve point five.

719
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: So this is who he is. And that's just kind

720
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: of the roller coaster you will have when you pitch him.

721
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's worth it. Just give in Toronto.

722
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: If it was Pittsburgh next or something, I'd maybe take

723
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: a chance.

724
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: But Toronto.

725
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: Toronto's cooled off a little bit, but it's still a

726
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: matchup that's just still.

727
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you still stay away from them, and then if

728
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: you just go even deeper down the rabbit hole, he's

729
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 3: got like Texas, which he might be interested in, and

730
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: then it looks like possibly at Sacramento, so maybe one

731
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: start using the rest of the year.

732
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, thank you, no, thank you. Even in fifteens,

733
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 2: I don't think you can do it. Maybe maybe in fifteen's.

734
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: But the last of the downs, Daniel Sheman with a

735
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: golden sombrero yesterday. We always like the highlight, the gold

736
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: in sombreros. Haven't had a Sinko stinko. I don't even

737
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: know if Bubba was here for the Sinco Stinkos zero

738
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: for five with five strikeouts.

739
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: I think we've had impressive six or seven of them

740
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: this year.

741
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: I think Cherio did it on opening Day, and there

742
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 2: was a couple of others, but I few and far

743
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: between on the Sinco Stinkos.

744
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: Let's get to the injuries.

745
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: Pablo Lopez will make his return from the El tonight,

746
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: finally against the Royals. Bubba right in the fire for him.

747
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you do. This is an ace. You

748
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: go with it, but I'm always come off a shoulder

749
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: injury like that doesn't make count as you go three

750
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: in four innings, so limit your expectations.

751
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't followed his rehab I'm not sure where

752
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: he's at in terms of the build up, but I

753
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: think that's that's pretty sound advice. If you are in

754
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: a daily league, you don't really have any reason to

755
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 2: set him unless you know it's had to had season,

756
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: it's had to have playoffs. If your ratios are looking

757
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: good you don't need a chance it, then maybe don't.

758
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: But Pablo Lopez.

759
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 3: Five and five and two thirds in his last rehab start.

760
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: That's encouraging. Okay, so maybe he gets the five if

761
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: things are clean here against Kansas City. Not a team

762
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: that scares me off a ton. This one does scare

763
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: me a ton. Though Roman Anthony expected the miss four

764
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: to six weeks with the oblique strain.

765
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: Is there any world where you're holding him and hoping

766
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: for a shorter time on here, Bubba?

767
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 3: Not at all. Alex Cora flat out told him in

768
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 3: a quote that in vision leading off in Game one

769
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 3: of the Alcs, which is October twelfth, which is a

770
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: little over about five weeks away. So uh, the way

771
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 3: I look at it, it'd take an absolute miracle, and

772
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 3: miracles can happen. We did beat we did win in

773
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: Lake Placid, But I I don't think Roman Anthony is like,

774
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: they don't need to rush him back.

775
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: Get out.

776
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: Michael's on the call here to uh to get Roman

777
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: Anthony back. And you know, look, I think it's hilarious

778
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 2: that the Red Sox think are going to the Alcs.

779
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: That's adorable. But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna stoke

780
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: those fires today. Let's keep it going with Francisco Albert.

781
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: You got what else?

782
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: No, No, I was gonna just stoke your I was

783
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 3: gonna poke the but I'll stop.

784
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about something that's close to your heart. Bubba

785
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: a catcher. Francisco Alvarez will be activated from the eyel today.

786
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: This one's a bit of a shocker to me. Not

787
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: that he's back, but I expected he'd be back maybe

788
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: the last week or two of the year, which is

789
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: a pretty early.

790
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: Timeline for him.

791
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 3: It's insane. Dude's got like a ligament damage in his

792
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: thumb that's require offseason surgery. Then while rehabbing, gets hit

793
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 3: by a pitch, fractures a pinky and the dude has

794
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: like missed the limited amount of time for all of this,

795
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: all things considered, hit a grand slam in his last

796
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: rehab game. He's coming back on Friday, I've made a joke.

797
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, he's missing his thumb and his pinky.

798
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: Is he gonna be a bowler? Now?

799
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: Like?

800
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: What do we got going on here? Like he's he's

801
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: so it's a freak and catchers are freaks. This is

802
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: part of it. But wow, just impressive stuff from the kid.

803
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: I don't know how good he'll be, but that's nuts

804
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: from a data perspective. This year, I'll be it in

805
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 3: a shorter sample size than we would have hoped for.

806
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: One twenty five WRC plus seven homers in fifty six games,

807
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: twelve percent barrel rate, fifty three hard hit rate.

808
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: Is he a top twelve catcher for you next year?

809
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: Is he a catcher one?

810
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: I'm much much more intrigued. I've said it forever, like

811
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: the hype train was so big from Francisco Alvarez as

812
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 3: a prospect catcher. He never came close to living up

813
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: to it, and like even the underlying metrics didn't look good,

814
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 3: got demoted. This year, He's come back and things have

815
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 3: looked a lot better with him before he got hurt again.

816
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 3: I am much more interested in looking at Francisco Alvarez

817
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: this year for sure.

818
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Bubba is the catcher guru.

819
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: By the way, if you need catcher help, if Bubba

820
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: does the catcher write ups in the Black Book, like

821
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 2: Bubba is, Bubba is your guy for everything Fantasy Baseball,

822
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: but specifically for catchers.

823
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 3: Buba Catchers matter, Folks. Catchers matter.

824
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: Remember that catchers matter, and they matter more now than

825
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 2: they ever have before, considering there's like fifteen viable catchers.

826
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: And you know, if you told me that ten years ago,

827
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: I would have thought I was having a dream.

828
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: Jas Chisholm had to lead early on Thursday do to

829
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 2: a contusion in both knees. I actually did to see

830
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: what happened here, but both nees. That's not great weekend lineups.

831
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 2: I guess it's a comes down to whether or not

832
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: he plays Friday for you. A.

833
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he's got the greg odum disease going on

834
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 3: here both knees. But he they said they pulled him early.

835
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 3: He was working on them early. He expects to be

836
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: back on Friday. We'll see how that plays out. I

837
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 3: think he plays at least Saturday on Sunday, and the

838
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: way he's swinging it, you might want to still put

839
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 3: him in your lineups.

840
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you probably do. We talked to him the other day.

841
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 2: It's like twenty eight homers, twenty some odds steals. It's

842
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: been a very good season for him. Max Munsey I

843
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: had to specify. Dodgers Max Munsey began a rehab assignment

844
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 2: and could return to the team next week.

845
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: Is he worth a couple bucks in fab this weekend?

846
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: Bubba as a stash?

847
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Battie and iverage is always questionable. But

848
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 3: since he got the bifocals, he's swinging it well. The

849
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 3: power's been there. Dodgers need every boost they can get

850
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: right now because he's got swept when we were beat

851
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 3: that swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates. So yeah, Munsey is

852
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: worth a fantasy target.

853
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: I think he is too when he's been out there

854
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 2: this year. It's been few and far between the games,

855
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: but he's been very good. More good news for the Dodgers,

856
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: not really good news. I'm saying that sarcastically, Will Smith

857
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: will likely be out until next week due to a

858
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: hand contusion. So if you do have Will Smith, you're

859
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: gonna need a look at a short term replacement. Maybe

860
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 2: in a shallow league, you have Kyle Teele sitting on

861
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: the waiver wire. Trevor McGill had a successful bullpen session

862
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 2: and is expected to be I committed from the IL

863
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 2: on September sixteenth, So if you saw McGill was dropped anywhere,

864
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: probably worth throwing a couple of dollars at him. I

865
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: think in deeper leagues for people probably held on. But

866
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 2: I think if you're in a ten or twelve team

867
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: league and you really need saves, there's a chance he

868
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: might be out there, So take a look at your

869
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 2: waiver wire. Seth Lugo placed on the fifteen day IL

870
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 2: with a lower back sprain. He hadn't been that great

871
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: really either, So I think while we're saying goodbye to

872
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: Seth Lugo for the year and dropping him, MAYBEBBA.

873
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he's done. I don't see why they'd bring

874
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 3: him back if for no, there's no reason to bring

875
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 3: him back.

876
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, at his age, considering the team's not

877
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: playing for anything.

878
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 3: I think it's extended him for two years. They need

879
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 3: him for next year.

880
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I think part of them probably wishes they

881
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: hadn't extended him after seeing what he's done over the

882
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 2: last couple months.

883
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: But this conversation for another day.

884
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: Spencer Raghetty dealing with elbow inflammation and is very unlikely

885
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: to return this season. This guy just can't stay healthy.

886
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with him really. Heading

887
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: into next year, he'll be I don't know that that

888
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: health really has starting to worry me. With Spencer Araghetty.

889
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 2: Christian Yelich missed both I'm saying in Thursday's games due

890
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: to back soreness, but was expected to return on Friday.

891
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: This is the risk with Yellis is always the risk

892
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: with him is that his back is awful.

893
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: It's like, if you look at the injury report for

894
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: his career, it's like ten different back injuries.

895
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: Will that keep you off of him at all in

896
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, Not at all.

897
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 3: He's been doing this forever. This is like the reports

898
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 3: came out and they are actually kind of true reports.

899
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 3: If it is just minor back pain, this is normally.

900
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 3: Dude had back surgery last year. He hasn't missed any

901
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 3: time with it, like, so they decided he's been kind

902
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 3: of banged up for a couple of weeks, it's give

903
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 3: him a couple of days of the rest. The Brewers

904
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 3: are on a playoff push, of course. I'm not. Like

905
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 3: We've dealt with this for years of Yelich and he

906
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: still puts up like twenty twenty type seasons.

907
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: Some fine, it's true. You know, some of the stuff

908
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 2: with the games played I think is a little bit

909
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: overplayed with him. But back in the discount, yeah, I

910
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 2: think it depends on what the discount is. Like he's

911
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: a top five or seven outfielder this year, If he's

912
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: a top fifty pick, what would be the top out

913
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: range for you?

914
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: If he's a top three rounder, top four rounder.

915
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 3: I know he's gotta be deeper. And now, like I'm

916
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 3: talking like six seven round and that's he went. He

917
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 3: went pretty late in the meatball and then I was mad.

918
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: I thought about taking him like three rounds and I

919
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 3: didn't do it, and someone finally got him. I got's

920
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: probably a gift right there.

921
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah he went mid seventh. Yeah, he went after lou Bob,

922
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: after Harris, after Bellinger.

923
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 3: I take him over Harris, but I have a thing

924
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 3: against Harris, So it's okay.

925
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should meet Joei's apia. You guys might get along.

926
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: Maybe. Well we're both bald and beautiful, so it works.

927
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: Well, that is beautiful.

928
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: Let's talk what else we got here. On the injuries,

929
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: Jordan Hicks will go on the aisle with a right

930
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 2: shoulder injury. This is really just because he stinks. He's

931
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: been awful. One of the centerpieces of the Raffael Devers trade.

932
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 2: Well done in Boston. Mackenzie Gore expects to return from

933
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 2: the aisle when he's first eligible on September twelfth. Things

934
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 2: have been pretty rough for McKenzie gore. If he's out there,

935
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: or even if you have him, let's say, in like

936
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 2: a draft and hold format or whatever, are you throwing

937
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 2: him back into the fire there when he's first eligible, Bubba.

938
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: I'm probably not like I love McKenzie Gore. I don't

939
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 3: know what you didn't expect from McKenzie gore right now

940
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 3: is potentially his first start back would be against the

941
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 3: Braves and at home and then at Atlanta. So his

942
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 3: last two starts potentially are against the Braves. I'd probably

943
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 3: say thanks for what you did, not happy with how

944
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 3: you finished. We'll see you next year.

945
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, if he got activated hypothetically for the Pirates series,

946
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: be different, yes, September twelve, thirteen and fourteen, then I

947
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: could have a conversation. But if it's Atlanta, if it's Chicago,

948
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 2: even if it's Miami, I think, like you said, you

949
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 2: tip your cap, thank you for the first half, and

950
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: we pretty much move on for Mackenzie Gore. But that

951
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 2: will take us into our best Bets of the Day segment. Bubba,

952
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: We'll start with you today. I usually go first, but

953
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: what do you have for the people to wrap them

954
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 2: up this week?

955
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: Alrighty, we are going with the red hot Philadelphia Phillies offense.

956
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 3: Trey Turner leading things off these days and gets over

957
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 3: three hits runs RBIs at plus one point twenty seems

958
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 3: like quite the nice set up there for mister Trey Turner.

959
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 3: I think the Phillies just have a monster game period.

960
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 3: I didn't want to take, you know, Schwarber and company,

961
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: but you get Belazo of Miami pitching take advantage of that.

962
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Joe Adell at plus one thirty five

963
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: for over three hits runs RBIs. He's been nuclear hot

964
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 3: right now, and he gets Barnett of the A's to

965
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: make his I believe third start for the team, So

966
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: we can go that direction. And then I was shocked

967
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 3: to see over two hits runs and RBI's for Drew Gilbert,

968
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 3: the man, the myth, the legend, who's been absolutely outstanding.

969
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 3: He's on fire and the play given course field, but

970
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: he gets Michael McGreevey, who gives up a ton of contact.

971
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 3: So with Gilbert speed and stuff, I think he could

972
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 3: run into a I think he gets to over two

973
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 3: pretty easily. That's my favorite of the three bets, but

974
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 3: that means so probably fade. But I'll be taking those.

975
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: Plus one twenty plus one thirty five and plus one thirty.

976
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: Five plus one thirty five is pretty pretty sweet stuff.

977
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: So I'll be transparent here. I've been lighting money on

978
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: fire for the last week or so, so I am

979
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 2: going with some recommendations from the prop bet cheat cheat,

980
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: which you guy should be checking out. Logan Gilbert under

981
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: seventeen and a half outs. He's facing Atlanta. He hasn't

982
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: been quite Logan Gilbert in the second half of the season.

983
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: He's still striking out a lot of guys, but those

984
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 2: ratios have not been great. You can get to him,

985
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 2: so under seventeen and a half outs at minus one fifteen,

986
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: like in that one Michael Busch over one and a

987
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 2: half total bases. I don't know if we've talked enough

988
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 2: about what Michael Bush has done this year. He's been very,

989
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: very good. But he gets Jake Irvin tonight and you're

990
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 2: getting minus one oh six four over one and a

991
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 2: half total bases. And then this one surprised me, the

992
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: line being where it was Ronald Lecunya over one and

993
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 2: a half total bases. I got it at plus one

994
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: thirty three. At first, I was like, this has got

995
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 2: to be a mistake, like the book's making a mistake

996
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: or something. But he's hitting like a buck eighty eight

997
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: over the last month and he is facing Logan Gilbert,

998
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: so I understand it. But this one does really stand

999
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: out if you're using the tools over at Betting Pros,

1000
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,799

1002
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,880

1003
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: on a few days with the picks in a row,

1004
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: you don't trust yourself us with a prop bet cheat

1005
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: sheet really is a great service and a great tool.

1006
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 2: We have vettingpros dot com slash MLB props. As Joey

1007
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: p would say, don't be a tool, use the tools.

1008
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: Do we have an updated home run board? We do,

1009
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: and Bees has pulled a head here at fifty six,

1010
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 2: Positive Grouch at fifty five, Whips at fifty five, and

1011
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: George at fifty four with the fisher King also at

1012
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: fifty four. This one is going to come down to

1013
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 2: the wire. I love this kind of stuff. This is

1014
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 2: like crack for me. I love following this type of thing.

1015
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: Babba, where are you going for your home run call tonight,

1016
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: my friend.

1017
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to take the cupcake approach potentially of going

1018
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: to Coors Field. There's a petulant child taking the mound

1019
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 3: because he didn't throw that long in his first start

1020
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 3: earlier this week, so he gets to come back pretty

1021
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 3: quickly because he threw a fit and hopefully he doesn't

1022
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: throw in here. And Manny Machatto takes indeed, because Manny

1023
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 3: Machado is known to look at his home runs too,

1024
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 3: so I'm hoping we see that I got Manny Machado

1025
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 3: taking Kyle Freeland deep. You could pick a lot of

1026
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 3: players from that game if you'd like, because I think

1027
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 3: San Diego takes to task. Put nice topa say it.

1028
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: I'm liking it, and I'm loving the Kyle Freeland beef,

1029
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 2: I am absolutely absolutely here for it. I'm going Pi Alonzo.

1030
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 2: He's at Great American Ballpark. He have for taking cours

1031
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: in Great American Park tonight, Andrew Abbott lefty versus righty.

1032
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo has been beating up as of late. Hit

1033
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: a couple of home runs earlier this week, so I'm

1034
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: definitely liking him tonight. Let's take a couple of quick

1035
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 2: questions before he send you on your way. Will Vest,

1036
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 2: Jose Ferrera or Joe Joe Romero baba?

1037
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 3: If if I know Kyle Fittinggans actually hurt, it's Will Vest. Otherwise,

1038
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 3: go get yourself from Ferrera. Who's been really really good?

1039
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 2: Okay, Haralda. Perdomo grab him off waivers in April. He's

1040
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: been an un heralded stud completely agree he's been amazing.

1041
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 2: So even if this is the best year of his career,

1042
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 2: what do you expect I've been average year for Perdomo

1043
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: going forward. I think that he can be like a

1044
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 2: low end shortstop one going forward, like you know, tenth, eleventh, twelve,

1045
00:42:55,880 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 2: maybe thirteenth in shortstop rankings, a solid overall ballplayer. But

1046
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,919
Speaker 2: I think I agree that this is probably a peak

1047
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 2: year for him, where everything's gone right. He's walked more

1048
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 2: than he's struck out. He's hitting for power, he's stealing

1049
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: a lot. Everything is a career high. What do you

1050
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: think next year, Bubba, I see a fade or a

1051
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: target for you.

1052
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 3: I still target him if the helium doesn't go too big.

1053
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 3: I think he's like a two to seventy five guy.

1054
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 3: We'll see it the power and speed sticks. It's only

1055
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: twenty five, so this could be a new lease on

1056
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 3: life for predomance, could be who he's turning into. So

1057
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 3: I'd like to kind of still stay on that trade

1058
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 3: until proven otherwise.

1059
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's still very young, Hurlba Perdomo. He's twenty

1060
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 2: five years old. They gave him that contract which was

1061
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 2: four years, forty five million, so they believe in him,

1062
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: and I think there's.

1063
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: A decent enough reason for us to believe in him

1064
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: as well. Big Dance. This is a fallo up to

1065
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: the Yary question. Again.

1066
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 2: These are the ten keepers Jazz Seeger Bregman, Judge, Cheerio Wood, Schwarmer,

1067
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: j Rod O'Neill, Cruz and Hunter Brown. Maybe it will

1068
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 2: be tough to keep yery. This is a pretty stacked group.

1069
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: If you're taking Yuri, who would you take him?

1070
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 3: Over?

1071
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: Here?

1072
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 3: Bubba Corey Sieger?

1073
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: Really? Yeah?

1074
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 3: Okay, old and always hurt go get another short step.

1075
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1076
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: I think that's fair considering how deep Shortstop is keeping

1077
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: see her. Yeah, I get it.

1078
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: He's only keeping one picture and he needs to keep

1079
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 3: another picture most likely.

1080
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think you're I think you're on

1081
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 2: something there. Bubba is Camerican firm done for the season.

1082
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: I haven't seen any confirmation, but like we mentioned the

1083
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 2: other day, from a fantasy point of view, you can

1084
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: consider him dead on arrival. I think at this point, Yep,

1085
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 2: which catcher are you drafting next year? Bubba, Augustine Ramirez

1086
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 2: or Drake Baldwin.

1087
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 3: This is man.

1088
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: It's like tofi's choice right here.

1089
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 3: The Goose, Augustine Ramirez. Drake's been great. Not gonna knock

1090
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 3: that at all, but I'm a Goose fan, so give

1091
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 3: me Augustine Romirez.

1092
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1093
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 2: I don't have any problem there. I haven't really started

1094
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 2: to dig in, but I'll probably have teams with both

1095
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: of them. I really love this catcher classic come up

1096
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: this year. Brandon spro Worth a pickup. We talked about him, earlier.

1097
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: Maybe worth a pickup, but probably not worth a start

1098
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 2: in that first game against Cincinnati at Great American and

1099
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: then wrapping up with Van Rod utility spot Polonko, Larnick

1100
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 2: or Montgomery probably calls them Montgomery right now.

1101
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 3: Yes, he's only hitting like two thirty, but those seventeen

1102
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: bombs is only Kyle Schwarber has more since the All

1103
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: Star break.

1104
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, him and varshow are doing this thing where they're

1105
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 2: having like a two to seventy on base percentage and

1106
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: yet every get bat it seems like they're hitting an

1107
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: extra base hit, usually a home run. So fun stuff there,

1108
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: Fun stuff as always here with my good friend Casey

1109
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 2: Bubba as we wrap up the week.

1110
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: It's great getting to do the show with you.

1111
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 3: Man.

1112
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 2: We did this last year, we're doing it this year.

1113
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 2: Hopefully we get to do it again next year. So

1114
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: I know we haven't done this in a while. Just

1115
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 2: let everybody know what you got going on. Where you

1116
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: keep up with your work. If they're looking for some

1117
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: weekend pods after they finished listening to this, where can

1118
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 2: they keep up the Bubba content?

1119
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,959
Speaker 3: Appreciate it. I'm over on X. I guess at bad

1120
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 3: and Trick, but it's the Bubba in the Bloom pod.

1130
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,239

Speaker 3: He'll be the on Monday. He's a really nice guy,

1132

1137
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 2: kissing in the industry, but when I talked about Bubba,
