Speaker 2: to take a little break on Monday for some stuff.

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: Welsh filled in beautifully or I guess he kept his gig.

00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's good to be back in

Speaker 2: action and talking some more baseball with you. For sure.

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're the ones filling in beautifully. He's the one

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: who's gone off and done football stuff. It was great

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: to talk with Welch again. But we're gonna do this.

21
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: I think today Friday, and then I guess next Wednesdays.

22
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: So I think it's three more shows with us. We'll

23
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: see if maybe we pop onto that final show at

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: Joan Welsh, But only a couple shows left here in

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: the season. If you guys haven't done so already, would

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: really appreciate you guys subscribe into the show, like comment

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: review all that great stuff to really help us out

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: here down the stretch. But we are going to be

29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: talking about some headlines breaking down all the injuries. There's

30
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: a ton of injuries to go through. But let's start

31
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: off with some positive news, and that's Blake Snell continuing

32
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: to look like one of the best pitchers in baseball.

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Dominated the Orioles yesterday six innings of one run ball

34
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: with twelve strikeouts. He has a three eight ERA and

35
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: a one zero eight whip. And the thing that's kind

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: of crazy with Blake Snell is that he won the

37
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: Cy Young last season. But if you dig below the

38
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: surface and you look at some of the expected numbers,

39
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: the ERA estimators, the barrel raids, literally everything is better

40
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: this season than last year. This is probably the best

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: version of Blake Snell that we've ever seen. Really, Bubba,

42
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: are we gonna do the same thing again next year?

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: Is he gonna stink in the first half and come

44
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: out in the second. I guess you can't really answer

45
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: that question. But going into drafts next season, when you're

46
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: when you're picking Blake Snell as you're starting pitcher two, one, three,

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: wherever he ends up going, you're gonna have to probably

48
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: deal with a lot of bad outings. Is that going

49
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: to impact where you want to take him or is

50
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: it just we start the season, we hope that he

51
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: gets running out of the gate and hope of the best.

52
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, hope, you hope for the best. I'll keep

53
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: it's simple with that. But you're gonna take him at

54
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: a high ADP if you want him, because that's where

55
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: he's going to go. I think Pablo Lopez he had

56
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: the same situation this year. You know, a head to

57
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: head leagues, it could be a frustrating situation. In a

58
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: roto league. Hey, you just want the end stat line,

59
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: that's all you care about. And if you just keep

60
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: plugging him in there, he's been amazing for you and

61
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: he's helping you win championships probably at this point in time.

62
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: So I'm cool with Snell. And the other thing is

63
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: he's he's gonna sign much earlier this year because Boris

64
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: He's not gonna let bores. I think he left Bors Actually,

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: that issue is not going to be there Snell, and

66
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: I know I saw your quote tweet by mister Knight,

67
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: and there were plenty of offers. Last year. Boris played

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: his game and lost. That won't happen this year. Snell

69
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: will be ready for spring training. Snell will be ready

70
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: to rock and roll barring injury, and I don't think

71
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: we'll be worrying about the same situation, at least not

72
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: to this magnitude.

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: I just don't understand Nightingale. The way he phrased it. It

74
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: was like he might have sucked last year, but this

75
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: year he's going to be great and he's not. He's

76
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: not going to lose out on offers like he won

77
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: the Cy Young it didn't sign until spring training. I

78
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: think it did have more to do with Boris and

79
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: whatever went on. I know Jordan Montgomery fired him. Blake

80
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: Snell might have as well. I think these guys are

81
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: just kind of or not kind of just done with

82
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: the games. I think, like, just get me on a team.

83
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: I want to be ready for spring training and hopefully

84
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: just fire off a full season because we've seen it impact.

85
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Snell's obviously picked things up, but Jordan Montgomery

86
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: as a side know like he's been awful. I think

87
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: he had a good start yesterday or the day before.

88
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday yesterday pretty solid, but I

89
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: mean that really did impact him. I don't expect Blake

90
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: Snell to go unsign the entire offseason, but this version

91
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: of him right nowatistically might be the best Blake Snell

92
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. He's not gonna win the cy Young

93
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but just a really fantastic turnaround

94
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: after a lot of people probably dropped him earlier on

95
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: in the season, He's been fantastic as of late. Shane Boz,

96
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: let's talk about him. I mean he's settled into a

97
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: really great groove. Seven innings yesterday against the Red Sox,

98
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: picked up the victory, just tour and run six strikeouts

99
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: over the past month, a two zero three ERA and

100
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: a point seven to four whip. Obviously, it was a

101
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: little shaky at first, but that was kinda to be expected.

102
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: I've always believed in the talent of Shane Boz. I

103
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: feel like he's probably somewhere in that SP two range.

104
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: For next season, but it wouldn't surprise me if he

105
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: finished closer to kind of an SP one. But I'm wondering, bub,

106
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: what do you think about, excuse me, Shane Boz's potential

107
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: draft price and where you evaluate him heading into next season.

108
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pitching great, as you mentioned right now, it's

109
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: just going to keep increasing his draft value or price

110
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: tag as we get going. He's still an SP two

111
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: for me just because we haven't seen the workload. So

112
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: there's a lot of questions for me to be an

113
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: ACE on my fantasy team. But I think he's got

114
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: the potential to be an ACE at some point in time.

115
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: But we got to see the health, we got to

116
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: see a full season a lot of those type of questions.

117
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: So he's an SP two for me, But he's moving

118
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: up the ladder, that's for Darren. Sure. He's been very,

119
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: very impressive.

120
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: The just raw stuff numbers the talent that he had

121
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: before the injury. I'm very excited. I know a lot

122
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: of people were kind of fed up with him this season.

123
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: I guess similarly similarly to Blake Snell, not to the

124
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: same extent, but people might have cut bait on him

125
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: after a couple of rough outings, but if you've used

126
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: him the last month, he's been fantastic, and I feel

127
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: like heading in the next year, he might get pushed

128
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: down a little bit more than he should, just because

129
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: there's not a huge sample size this season. Maybe in

130
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: the more casual league he can be an SP three,

131
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: SP four, but I think in those NFBC leagues, some

132
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: of them he's going to be. He's going to be

133
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: a top HUNTERD pick. I think pretty universally in most formats.

134
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: It might not be every single one, but I've been

135
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: very impressed with Shane Boz. Somebody that have not been

136
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: very impressed with just wanted to mention that he has

137
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: still broken. It's Bobby Miller. He lasted just two innings yesterday,

138
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: seven hits, four earned runs, just two strikeouts. I think

139
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: it was forty pitches until he actually had a whiff.

140
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: Only fifty eight percent of his pitches were strikes. Is

141
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: this Rick and Keel, Alec Manoa, Matt Harvey coming at

142
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: us again? Because I was saying it last night. I

143
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: was like, this Helox as broken as anybody I've ever seen,

144
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: and Everybody's like, no, there's a lot more options of

145
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: broken guys. But we're talking about like an eight six

146
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: era over sixty innings. He's about his broken as could possibly.

147
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: Be Bubba, He's very broken. The Manoa comp could be interesting. Like,

148
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: I don't want to go that far with Bobby Miller

149
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: just yet. He's had a lot some injury concerns this

150
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: year and some other situations. I don't know if he's

151
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: just back to being Bobby Miller yet. But where do

152
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: you trust him? Is the question I've aread heard a

153
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: lot of the smart people are smart people going I'm

154
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: gonna buy the dip. I'm gonna buy the dip, And

155
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: I get it, that's a strategy to be had in fantasy.

156
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: But what if this is Manoa? What if this is Harvey.

157
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: That's a situation as well. So he has broken, he

158
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: cannot be rostered right now. I know some people are

159
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: some very smart people are I get it. You need

160
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: to move on from Bobby Miller and just you know,

161
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: start planning for twenty twenty five. And I think the

162
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: doctors might be two.

163
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know how they can roll him out

164
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: in a playoff game. I don't think they can. No,

165
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: they're not exactly flush for options right now. So it

166
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: might come to a point where they need to, but

167
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they can trust him. The thing that's

168
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: crazy is that, like, while his stuff numbers are down,

169
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: they're still like one thirteen stuff plus, still well above

170
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: average in that regard. But it just hasn't translated to

171
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: success this season. It's been very disappointing. But I feel like,

172
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, if he's going pick where, I mean where

173
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: every start is knocking the price down a little bit,

174
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: if he's going at like three hundred and beyond, any

175
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: interest you'd have there and like a late flyer on him.

176
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I see the appeal of the late flyer.

177
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: I get it, and I'd be all about that because

178
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: when you're doing a draft, that's an easy drop. Like

179
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: most of those guys, you draft him past pick two

180
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: fifty even you're dropping at some point in the season.

181
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: So I'm fine taking a flyer on Bobby Miller late.

182
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: It's just some of the talk I've already heard is

183
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: I don't know for any get him that late is

184
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: the problem.

185
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know how people can push

186
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: him up so much. But I mean that's like I said,

187
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: the stuff is still there. We know there's a good

188
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: talent track record of you know, minor league play and

189
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: everything like that, so it's going to be a tough one.

190
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know if he's even going to get

191
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: another start this year. Like they should just probably shut

192
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: him down. I don't know that they're doing much good

193
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: rolling him out there and getting destroyed every single time out.

194
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: The body language is bad, the command is but everything

195
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: is bad right now for Bobby Miller. Let's talk Bobachett

196
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: return to the Blue Jays lineup yesterday after being out

197
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: since late July with a calf strain. He bat his

198
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: second went two for five with an RBI. It's like

199
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: my worst fears come true here because I wanted to

200
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: get Bobaschett at a disgustingly low price outside of the

201
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: top one hundred picks. He has a hot couple of

202
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: weeks here. You can kind of probably forget about those

203
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: discounts because that's what'll stick in people's minds. Boba sheet

204
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: ended on a ten for twenty streak or something. What

205
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: do you think about bobachhet Baba? What's your interest level

206
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: for next year if you're seeing him available, let's say,

207
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: even in a shallow League right now? Are you starting him?

208
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: What's your analysis?

209
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: Tell you? Yep, I'd pick up. Talked with Ryan on

210
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: Tuesday Night's Bubba and the Blue and this has kind

211
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: of been a like a beer bit I had Bashett

212
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: versus Neil Cruz and I'm losing that one. But I've

213
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: always been a Basheck guy. I'm a believer. It's been

214
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: a bad year, that's the nice way to put it

215
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: when it comes to Boba Sheet. But I'm with you.

216
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: He goes two for five last night, I started laughing.

217
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, he's gonna have a great finish similar to

218
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: what you're saying, and it's going to sting for us

219
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: that dropped them this year, saving for the idea of

220
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: picking him next year. So I'm a believer. And if

221
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: he's on your waiver wire, like we talked Trevor story recently,

222
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: Boba Sheet meets that that what you're looking for for

223
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 2: the final stretch run. And there's other middle infield options

224
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: out there right now, like Luisa and Hilcunya and some others.

225
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: But I am a fan of what we got from

226
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 2: Boba Schett.

227
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm just still gonna be a believer based on what

228
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: we've seen the last three plus seasons. This year was

229
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: a tough year. Of course, he's missed half of it

230
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: with injuries. Below the surface, nothing is really like that

231
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: that different. The barrel Raiate is the one that really

232
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: stands out has been cut in half. But it seems

233
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: like he's just really gotten in his own head. The

234
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: team stunk. There was just a lot of bad situations.

235
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: I know that there was some stuff with his dad too,

236
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: and something with his brother, and there was some kind

237
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: of controversy, So I don't know how much those kind

238
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: of things factor into it. But the long and short

239
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: of it is that if Boba Scheed is going outside

240
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: of the first seven or so rounds next year, I'm

241
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna be hitting draft every single time. And if you're

242
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: still see him out there on waiver wires at this

243
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: point in time, even in shallow leagues, I think that

244
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: he should be added pretty much everywhere. Pete Alonzo, let's

245
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: talk about him. He had a big day yesterday three

246
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: for five with a homer, two runs and five ribbies.

247
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: It's been a down year as a whole for him,

248
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: but still eighty seven runs, eighty six ribbies, thirty three

249
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: homers in a two forty six batting average. I guess

250
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: where he ends up going this offseason will probably impact

251
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: draft prices some extent. What's your interest level in pee Alonzo?

252
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: Is he's still a top five first baseman for you, Bubba?

253
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: What's your interest?

254
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's close to top five, like he should be.

255
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: If you start penciling it out, he probably will be

256
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: like there's there's Vladdie, there's Olsen. First base stinks like

257
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: Christian Walker's there. So Alonso probably sits there around top

258
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 2: five just for the potential of forty plus bombs alone.

259
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: That comes in a big, big way. But he's not

260
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: that guaranteed, you know, top two round lock that he

261
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: once was.

262
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think the location will matter to

263
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: some extent. If he goes to a poorer team, then

264
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: maybe you can shave off a few runs in RBI.

265
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: You're not getting steals, you're not getting batting average. I

266
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: feel like he's a little bit of a risky investment

267
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: in the first couple of rounds. I'd probably want to

268
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: have him in the third or the fourth if he's

269
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: going to get there. I'm not sure if he gets there,

270
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: But if that's the case, then I just won't have

271
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: any shares. I think that, you know, I can speculate

272
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: on some later first baseman, whether it's you know, Pasmentino

273
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: or you know, even my mount Castle, like, there's certain

274
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: names later on that I would probably rather spend up

275
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: or spend down on. I should say, then spend up

276
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: on up Peet Alonso in the second or third. But

277
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: it hasn't been a bad year for him. He's still

278
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: been like a top sixty seventy player, just probably not

279
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: exactly what you expecting on draft day. I want to

280
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: mention somebody who's a little more niche, and that's Jesu Sanchez.

281
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: I have loved Haezesu Sanchez for really forever. But yesterday

282
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: just a massive day, five for five and a bit

283
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: of a surprising win over the Dodgers, although maybe not

284
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: that surprising with Bobby Miller on the bump. He scored twice,

285
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: he drove in three. He's been really solid this season.

286
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: He has fifty two runs, which is the stinky number

287
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: here playing for the Marlins. You're not gonna you're not

288
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: gonna do a ton in that department. But seventeen homers,

289
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: sixty two ribbies, fourteen steals in a two to fifty

290
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: two batting average that goes along with a twelve and

291
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,359
Speaker 1: a half percent barrel rate which is the eighty fifth percentile,

292
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: and a fifty two point one percent hard hit rate

293
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: that's ninety fifth percentile. I feel like Hazu Sanchez is

294
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: a change of scenery away from being a top one

295
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: hundred type of player. Bubba, what's your thoughts on him

296
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: rest of season, which is not a lot of time

297
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: left here obviously, and then next year, what's your interest

298
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: level going to be for Jesus?

299
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, big a sus fammin and rostering him a ton.

300
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: It's nice he's facing lefties now as well, he's not

301
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: platooning and in the middle of the order. Four steals

302
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: over the last ten games, which has been great to

303
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 2: see from Sanchez. I think he can still be okay

304
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: in Miami. Obviously a better ballpark would help, but I

305
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: love him for the rest of the season. The Marlins

306
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: face all right handed Pigionablyeve next week, which'll bode really well. First,

307
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: like I said, he still plays for lefties, but we

308
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: want him versus righty's. Let's just be real with the situation. Yet,

309
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: six righties next week and three out of the next four.

310
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: Finished this week at righty, so he's got nine righties

311
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: over his last ten games, which is pretty good. And

312
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: I like him a loco in the next year. He's

313
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: got that Brian Dayly Cruz vibe that we were looking

314
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: for during the draft season. And I think Sanchez is

315
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 2: even better than Day of the Cruise, so big hey,

316
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: sue Sanchez fan.

317
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: I hope he gets traded somewhere. I hope he goes

318
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: to a somewhat competent lineup. I don't know that I'm

319
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: expecting it, but in Miami, I don't know that anything

320
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: is really nailed down over there. It could happen. I'm

321
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: hoping for it. I was thinking maybe Philadelphia at the deadline.

322
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: That's what I would have really wanted to happen.

323
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: It would have been pretty sweet.

324
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: Oh Man, anywhere but Miami would be preferable. But even

325
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: in Miami it hasn't been so so bad. So somebody

326
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: that's probably not going to get a lot out of

327
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: helium next year, not really hurting you in any category necessarily.

328
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: He's somebody that I think can be a big target

329
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: in those specifically slightly deeper five outfielder leagues. Just for fun,

330
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: Bobby Witch Junior unbelievable stuff. Man. He's the first shortstop

331
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: in major league history to record multiple thirty thirty seasons.

332
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: He is twenty four years old. Alex Rodriguez never did this. Now,

333
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: granted he did switch over to third base mid career,

334
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: but this is unbelievable. Like, Bobby wid Junior is on

335
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: a full blown Hall of Fame trajectory at this point.

336
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: I think the sky's the limit for him.

337
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. This is a forty to forty guy.

338
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: So the fact that it's only been thirty thirty so

339
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: far says a lot. Now, the batting average through the

340
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: roof this year, the babyb took a massive jump, so

341
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: we could see regression there. But still, the power is legit,

342
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: the speed is legit. He's awesome. He's that guy. There's

343
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: not a whole lot else besides just giving him his flowers,

344
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: because yeah, dude, the dude's great. He's young, and it's

345
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: one of those like we have a bunch of these

346
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: good young players. It's like, just please stay healthy, like

347
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: we want to see for like fifteen more years. Just

348
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: stay healthy and we'll be good to go. So I'm

349
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: with you on that one.

350
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm more so just put him on the sheet just

351
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: to give him his flowers. There's no start, sit decisions

352
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: or pickups and drops obviously here with Bobby Witt, he

353
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: is unbelievable and it's crazy that he's gonna have a

354
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: ten win plus season and he's not gonna win the MVP.

355
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: Might be the best non MVP season ever or certainly

356
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: on a short list Pistol who's always active in our

357
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: chats here, Sanchez or Buxton. I think I'm probably going

358
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: Hazu Sanchez. I just don't really trust Buckston.

359
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: It is Heyesue Sanchez for sure.

360
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Ian Happ still in the just for fun section.

361
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: Couple homers yesterday, but the really notable one came off

362
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: of Mason Miller. It was one hundred and three point

363
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: two miles an hour, and it was the fastest pitch

364
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: hit for a home run in the pitch tracking era,

365
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: which goes back sixteen years. Ian Happ, I mean, part

366
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: of the reason why I put this on here is

367
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: because it's just a really impressive accomplishment. But Ian Happ

368
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: is also putting together a career year twenty five homers,

369
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: thirteen steals, eighty six runs, eighty five Ribbies. I feel

370
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: like he's just always somebody that's sitting there pick one hundred,

371
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: one ifty. Nobody really wants to push him up, but

372
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: he always kind of gives you these type of seasons.

373
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: This is a little bit better than what we've been

374
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: used to, but it's kind of the same general Ian

375
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: Half type of season that I feel like people aren't

376
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: appreciating enough.

377
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: No. One hundred percent. And the biggest conundrum with Half

378
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: in recent years, it's like every of the year's either

379
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: he hits for average or gets for power. He hasn't

380
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: put it all together in a full season, but we

381
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: know the skill set is very good. He's putting it

382
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: together pretty well. Here. He's sitting for an okay average,

383
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: he's not crushing you an average, but all the other

384
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: stats are great. So he's a good five category contributor.

385
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: And that's just who he is. He's a really good

386
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: ballplayer in a good Cubbies lineup, and he's finally having

387
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: that big, big season.

388
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: I think that he's going to be somebody where I

389
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: mean probably, I'm just I'm starting to speculate on where

390
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: guys are going to go and drafts a lot more,

391
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: and I just don't see him moving up from where

392
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: he was last year. I don't see people push him

393
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: into the top of a hunter. They'll worry about what

394
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: the Cubs will look like or whatever, and you're getting

395
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: that twenty five to fifteen guy discounted again, probably heading

396
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: into next season. I want to mention why at Langford

397
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: In shout out to our buddy Frank Stanfle who tweeted

398
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: this one out yesterday. Over the last thirty five games,

399
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: he's hitting two eighty nine with twenty seven runs, twenty

400
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: two ribies, six homers, and six dolen bases. Where do

401
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: we see that? Why at Langford Price going next to year, Bubba,

402
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: Because I feel like at this point he's rostered. He

403
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: started pretty much everywhere. There's no real pickups to make

404
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: you're starting him, But if you're looking ahead to next season,

405
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: I feel like this price is just moving upward every

406
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: single day at this point.

407
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be fun because in that too

408
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: early draft, you know you had Jackson Cherio, Jackson Merrill

409
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: in the second and third rounds and then why at

410
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: Langford dropped down to like round nine. That gap is

411
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: not going to exist, folks, Like that is a gift

412
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: of a pick. I think we talked about it on

413
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: my show last week that that's quite the the come

414
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: up and he should be going third round. I think

415
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: when all things are setting down and people kind of

416
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: take a step back from the roughness that was part

417
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four and realize the skills are very

418
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: very real. He's very very young, and he's finishing strong,

419
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: like why can't he take the next step? So he's

420
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: probably that worst fifth round pick, but I think he's

421
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: going to fit fit in that third round come like

422
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: big times draft season in March.

423
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting when I'm putting together outfield rankings where

424
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: I put him in relation to Meryllwood and Churio and

425
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: if I'm tempted to put him above or at least

426
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: like right in that same range. Maybe not quite above,

427
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: but if one of them is ranked fifteen, the other

428
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: one will be ranked sixteen type of thing, like they'll

429
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: be all right in that same kind of range. Really

430
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: interesting stuff with why at Langford he's picked it up

431
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: and it's kind of what we were expecting. But I mean,

432
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: look at what Jackson Holiday's done. Jackson holidays first cup

433
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: of coffee was crap. The second one has been crap,

434
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: so you never really know. But it's good to see

435
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: why at Langford really pick up the pace here down

436
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: the stretch. Let's go to the three up in the

437
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: three down, Shay Langliers a couple of home runs, drove

438
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: in three really slow key nice season that he's put

439
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: together out in your neck of the woods. But but

440
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: Grant McCrae, somebody that I don't think we've mentioned on

441
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: this show this year. He reached base four times yesterday,

442
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: scored three runs and also had two stolen bases, And

443
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: I just want to mention on his front only eighty

444
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: eight at bats with five homers and five stone bases.

445
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: That's pretty pretty nice for fantasy. And then Zach Wheeler

446
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: seven innings of one run ball with four hits and

447
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: six strikeouts and picking up the win. Status quo over

448
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: there for him. But any thoughts on Langaliers, McCray or Wheeler, Baba.

449
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: I'll just give bullet points. Langoliers love him. Batting average

450
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 2: is a drain, but when you're hitting bombs like that,

451
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: you can offset things. Then with McCrae, the skill set

452
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 2: is very good, but a lot of swing and miss,

453
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: a lot of wild out of the zone swinging. He's young,

454
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: so if he can bring that in, the talent is

455
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: really good. And the Giants want to give him plenty

456
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: of run this year and hopefully as a starting outfielder

457
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: next year. So someone to keep on the back of

458
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: your radar for sure.

459
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, those power speed guys, even when there's a little

460
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: bit of swinging miss, they tend to pop a little

461
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: bit more. You see those stle bases, you see the

462
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: home runs. It's kind of like Tyler Fitzgerald light, like

463
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: another version of him in a certain way. That is

464
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: that a fair comparison.

465
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: That's fair because when Fitzgerald started out, it was power

466
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: speed with a lot of swinging miss as well, and

467
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: there's still somebody's brought that down a lot more than

468
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: when he started. So that's a very fair, fair comparison.

469
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: Let's go to the three down. Some ugly pitching performances,

470
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: starting with Brian wu He was due for a stinker

471
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: after how pure he'd been running this year, but tough

472
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: time for it to come. Seven earned runs, nine hits.

473
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: He did give you seven strikeouts, but that's not really

474
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: going to cut it. Four and two third against the Yankees,

475
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: Nathany Eavaldi as well, seven earned runs, eleven hits, a

476
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: couple of walks, and four strikeouts and then JT Real

477
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: Muto while the Golden Sombrero. Just a really tough season

478
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: for Real Muto. But any thoughts on that trio.

479
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just wraps up a couple things, like every

480
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: pitcher is going to have at least one or two

481
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: bad starts so year, no matter how good they are.

482
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 2: So Wu's just came up the wrong time of the year,

483
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: is what that one comes down to. And Real Muto

484
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: just like that's just the icing on the horrific twenty

485
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: twenty four cake.

486
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: Wu Is.

487
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: I know he's been okay, I say horrific compared to

488
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: expectations for Real Muto.

489
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think you can. I think, especially

490
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: because you took him for steals and he has like

491
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: think two steals, Like I think horrific and can qualify

492
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: there With Brian Wu. It's weird because he he's had

493
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: so much success, but it's come with this massively reduced

494
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: strikeout rate. He's had a few injury scares this year.

495
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: I feel like he's somebody I don't really want anything

496
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: to do with next season. I feel like he is

497
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean everybody's always one pitch away, but I feel

498
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: like he is like half a pitch away at this point.

499
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, his injuries have been weird. It's like elbow issue. Oh,

500
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: he's not going to miss a start. This is like

501
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 2: it's been little. Like you said, it's this close to

502
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 2: just falling over the edge. And you know, maybe that's

503
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: just who he is. He's gonna be one of those weird,

504
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: fluky pitchers and it is what it is. But yeah,

505
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: every pitcher is a pitch away. He seems like he's

506
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: a half a pitch so very very tough to take

507
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 2: on draft Day.

508
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially with where the price is probably gonna go.

509
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: People are gonna look even with this start, You're gonna

510
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: look at the eras and Mariner's pitching, good park and everything.

511
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: I feel like he's gonna be a little bit out

512
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: of my price range heading in the next year, but

513
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: we'll have to see. Let's talk about some injury updates,

514
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: starting with Francisco Lindor remain out of the Mets lineup

515
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, although according to Carlos Mendoza, he is improving,

516
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: so probably get him back in the next couple of days.

517
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: Ozzie Albi's had a home run in his first Triple

518
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: A rehab game, likely to come off of the injured

519
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: list on Friday, and Stephen Kwan went on the injured

520
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: list with back inflammation, so his season comes to an end.

521
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's even ten days. I mean, maybe

522
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: there's like one or two days at the end of that,

523
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: but I think you can pretty much say his seasons done.

524
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: Bubba. Yeah, it's retroactive, so in theory, he could come

525
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 2: back like middle of next week. Still only a couple

526
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 2: of days. They want on one for the postseason. That's

527
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: why they put him on the IL instead of trying

528
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: the day to day thing, so he might get a

529
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: couple of the bats towards the end. I just don't

530
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to be full go. They

531
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: want him ready.

532
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: For October, and he'd been low key terrible over the

533
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: last month fourteen for his last eighty three, hitting up

534
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: bucks sixty nine over the last thirty days with no

535
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: home runs in three stolen bases. Even if he did

536
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: come back, I feel like in shallow formats, you may

537
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: not even put him into the lineup, honestly, depending on

538
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: what your needs are going to be. Jordan Westberg took

539
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: batting practice on Tuesday, getting closer to appearing in games

540
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: and is expected back before at the end of the

541
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: regular season. You're picking him up here, Bubba and hoping

542
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: that you can get a couple games of Jordan Westburg.

543
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 2: I think I'm good unless you're really really desperate for

544
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: a corner infielder. There's plenty of middle endfield options out

545
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: there these days, so it's more if you need a

546
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: third basement for some reason. Like I saw jose Tenna's

547
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: name in the chat quite a bit, Give me Jose

548
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 2: Tena all day long, but I'm probably wait until twenty

549
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 2: twenty five for Westburg.

550
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's probably correct. The Orioles as a whole,

551
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: I've just I think somebody mentioned that in the chat earlier,

552
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: and I saw somebody tweet it out earlier. They were

553
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: on like one hundred and eight win pace and then

554
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: went to one hundred and three and one hundred and

555
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: two and ninety four, and now they're like on a

556
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: ninety win pace. The second half has been pretty bad

557
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: overall for Baltimore. Taking it back to my neck of

558
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: the woods in Toronto, Dalton var Show is going to

559
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: undergo rotator cuff surgery. His season is done, but it

560
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: also I've heard that could impact his availability for spring

561
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 1: training after a dreadful season for Dalton Varshow where there

562
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 1: has been a little bit of fantasy juice. But Matt, really,

563
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: we're talking eighteen homers, ten stolen bases now, he's going

564
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: to come into the spring training probably injured. He's probably

565
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: a full avoid for me, Bubba, especially considering the state

566
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: of the Blue Jays lineup heading into next year.

567
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: Yep, he'll be a noe for me lest some massive

568
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: things change. Like he had a couple of weeks where

569
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: he was awesome this year, like all of a suddenly, hey,

570
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: it looks like he's gonna Dalton Varshow after all. And

571
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: then it disappeared again and maybe it was shoulder related.

572
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: Maybe he's more banged up than we thought. But yeah,

573
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: I'll need to see like a year removed from surgery

574
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: before I get back on that train.

575
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: He started off looking really good, but yeah, two fourteen

576
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: average fifty eight revies, Like, there's a lot to not

577
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: like here, and he's a definite drop. I still see

578
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: he's on thirty eight percent of Yahoo rosters. I feel

579
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: like that'll probably pick up a little bit today with

580
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: the drops, but make sure that you're not starting Dalton

581
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: VARs Show anywhere. It's kind of a surprise here. We

582
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: had talked about Justin Steele Bubba last week or maybe

583
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,959
Speaker 1: the week before. We were both thinking that his season

584
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: was likely done. But he's gonna start today against the Athletics.

585
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: He had elbow tendonitis, has missed the last three weeks.

586
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: Any interest in daily leagues and starting him here.

587
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: No, I'll pass. I just don't know how deep he's

588
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: gonna go. I think I just want to kind of

589
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: get some innings towards the end. Now, if he looks good,

590
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: he's set up to face Philadelphia and Cincinnati next week,

591
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: so you get a two step from Justin Steel. Tough matchups, yes,

592
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: but two starts from a near ace. If he's back

593
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 2: to normal, that's pretty nice. Soe that keep an eye

594
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: on next. I know a lot of people did drop him.

595
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: I know I dropped him because I didn't think we'd

596
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: see much out of him. I'd wait and see how

597
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: this start Vers's goes, though, because the A's aren't a pushover.

598
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 2: So I'll wait and see.

599
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he looks good, if he gives you, you know,

600
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: six innings of one or two run ball or something.

601
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: I feel like he's getting slotted into most lineups next week,

602
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: especially with the two step. I didn't realize he had

603
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: a two step. But I also will say this time

604
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: of year, be very careful about two steps because things

605
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: changed on a time. But yeah, as of right now,

606
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: it looks like he is scheduled for that two step

607
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: or one more piece of injury news and also just

608
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: a wacky one. Victor Robla is removed after being hit

609
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: by a pitch in the first inning and then being

610
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: caught in one of the more bone headed plays I've

611
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: ever seen, attempting to steal home in the first inning.

612
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: It was bases loaded, two outs on a three to

613
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: zero count, and Victor Robluss thought that was the time

614
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: to steal home. I don't know what the hell he

615
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: was thinking, Bubba.

616
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was an odd one. I know he was

617
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: trying to get the NDErs on the board. But timing

618
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 2: is everything, folks, in life and in baseball, and that

619
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: was bad timing.

620
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: It was awful, okay, Bubba. Let's move into the Best

621
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: Bets of the Day for Wednesday, presented by our friends

622
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: over at bad three sixty five. Again, use that promo

623
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: code leading off, get yourself a little bit extra change

624
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: here as we head down the stretch of the baseball season. Babau,

625
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: where are you looking today on your betting sheet?

626
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, some tough overall numbers out there, but we'll start

627
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: with Auto Lopez. He's been swinging it really well, went

628
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: deep on Tuesday night. Landon Knack has taking the bump

629
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. Plus a depleted bullpen which is already

630
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: one of the worst bullpens in baseball, top it off.

631
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: So give me Auto Lopez over one and a half

632
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: total bases at plus one fifty five. We'll have some

633
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: fun with that. Pete Crow Armstrong early game, I've been

634
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: having fun with this one. It's hitting like feels like

635
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 2: seventy percent is give a take, and the odds are great.

636
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: So Pete Crow over as over a half a run

637
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: scored at plus one eight. I'll take the massive plus

638
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: number on that. And then last but not least, we

639
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: got to get some great American small park action here.

640
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: Wi Maryfield has been good, not great, but good. Jacob

641
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 2: Junis stinks, so let's just be real about it. So

642
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: whip Maryfield over one and a half hits, runs or RBIs,

643
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: so this is not like he could do it in

644
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: one at bat if all things work out well at

645
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: a wopping plus one twenty five. So I'll take my

646
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: chances with that one.

647
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it, and not many people

648
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: are thinking about with Maryfield this time of year. But

649
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: he actually hasn't been that bad like he really, especially

650
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: since he's come over to Atlanta. I know things in

651
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia weren't so so great, but I like that one.

652
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: I really do like that one for wit Maryfield. I'm

653
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: looking at Tarik's schouble today to start over six and

654
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: a half strikeouts. The thing that does make me a

655
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: little bit nervous is that it is Kansas City and

656
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: they don't strike out a ton. But it was hard

657
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: to pass up the cy young winner at plus money

658
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: for six and a half strikeouts, a number that he

659
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: has pretty consistently hit this year. So I'll take that

660
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: at plus one oh five, and also take a look

661
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: at nessor Cortes targeting those Mariners who strikeout more than

662
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: I think any team at least in modern history, twenty

663
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: seven and a half percent strikeout right taking nasty Nestor

664
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: who is coming off of a very good start where

665
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: he struck out nine Boston Red Sox, and as a

666
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: whole he has been pretty solid. You know, there was

667
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 1: that one stinker against Saint Louis, but really it's been

668
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: a good couple months for Nestra Cortez. So I'm thinking

669
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: he can get the five and a half today against

670
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 1: the Mariners and then a little bit of a cheeky

671
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: one here San Diego and Houston. The first five under

672
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: three and a half runs. I'm taking this based on

673
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: the strength of the starting pitching matchup. We have Dylan

674
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: Ceesen Framber Valdez going head to head there. Don't really

675
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: want to put too much faith in the bullpins, which

676
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: is why I'm not going I'm not that the pens

677
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: are bad or anything, but I'd rather just rely on

678
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: the starter. So that's why we are taking the first

679
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: five under three and a half runs. So, just to

680
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: recap for Baba Auto Lopez over one and a half

681
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: total basis Peekrow Armstrong over point five runs and wit

682
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: Meryfield over one and a half hits runs In RBI,

683
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: I got to Reik Schooble over six and a half

684
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: strikeouts nessor Cortes over five and a half in the

685
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: Padres in the Astros first five under three and a

686
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: half runs. One last thing to do today, Bubba, and

687
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: that is declare a home run call for the night.

688
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: Who are you leaning with today?

689
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna go to coors Field. Is this guy

690
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: named Austin Gomber pitching for the Colorado Rockies. There's a

691
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 2: guy in the Diamondbacks lineup that huh loves facing lefties.

692
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go aohanel Swarez going deep on Wednesday versus

693
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: the Colorado Rockies is in their last game at coors Field.

694
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: Somebody mentioned in the chat about Jacob Junas. You mentioned

695
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: Jacob Junas, So I am taking Matt Olson here at

696
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Great American small Park. He hit a home run yesterday.

697
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: His odds, depending on where you look, are like plus

698
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: one ninety plus two hundred for a home run, which

699
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: is very very low for a single game home run.

700
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: I think that the books expected to happen. I expected

701
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: to happen. So let's see Matt Olson take Jacob Junas

702
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: for a ride tonight. But guys, Bubba, that will do it.

703
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: We really appreciate all you guys, who continue to be
