00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: Joe, Yeah, it was fun. You know. I was shaking

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: off the cobwebs. The last time I hosted a show,

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: I was like the number one guy in the chair

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: was in the preseason when it was one of those

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: ADP battles. So it had been a while. I had

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: some cobwebs, but shook them off real quick. Riding a

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: bike right when you've posted a bunch of shows, but

Speaker 1: so feel free to continue to do so. We've also

53
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: got a little prospecting with me and we've got some

54
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: bets coming up here. But let's start it off with

55
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: show Hey Otani. Shoey Otani hit his forty first homer

56
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: of the season. Also going to tag this in here.

57
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: Cal Rally hit his forty fifth home run of the season.

58
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: We've got a couple things to sit on here. Joe.

59
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: I got asked this question this weekend, who is going

60
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: to lead major League Baseball in homers? Cal Raley Going

61
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: into yesterday, when I'd answered the question, I believe you know,

62
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: I had forty four. He was hitting one seventy seven

63
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: since July first, so he's still hitting sub two hundred.

64
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: But you know he had the homer last night. Otani

65
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: had been hitting around two sixty. I think this my

66
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: number was from July first, Otani had eleven homers. I

67
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: believe it's now at twelve, hitting around the two sixty

68
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: marker Cal's there. Judge is a little bit further behind,

69
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: just because he's miss time. And my pick was Kyle Schwarber.

70
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber, who has been hitting mid two sixties, has

71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: the most home well, at least going into last night,

72
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: had the most homers of anybody since July. That actually

73
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: still is correct, but he was tied for the most

74
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: homers of anybody since June, so he had been going nuts.

75
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: But Otani and cal Rawley add to the number. Who

76
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: do you think is going to be our home run

77
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: leader at the end of the year.

78
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: I have a hard time going against Cal. I know,

79
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago we did the Betting Pro Show

80
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: and I said that there was like a plus sixteen

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: hundred plus seventeen hundred line on Aaron Judge to lead

82
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: majors in home runs. He hasn't hit one since he's returned,

83
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: and cal Rawley hit one in every game of the

84
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: Tampa series over the weekend. I think it's gonna be

85
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: him at this point, he's got forty five. You know,

86
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: any of these guys are capable of going super hot

87
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks. It's in all of their

88
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: m Schwarber can hit seven over a weekend. And the

89
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: same thing with Judge. If we're looking at this a

90
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: week from now and Judge has forty four homers and

91
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: he's right there, it wouldn't surprise me. But I think

92
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: I think you gotta go with Raleigh at this point.

93
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: He's got a four lead right now. If you're looking

94
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: at like the American League home run lead, He's almost

95
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: essentially got it wrapped up. Unless you think Judge's gonna

96
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: come back. But I would bet on Raleigh as of today.

97
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: It'll lead the majors and homers I think.

98
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Judge definitely can't. Like you said, my only

99
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: problem with Raley is just he's hitting sub two hundred

100
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: for over a month, like he's still I mean, he's

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: still just cranking homer's out, you know, big dumper is

102
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: still dumping, but you know, like it could simmer back

103
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: down a little bit. I think Schwarber is as hot

104
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: as can be right now, but Otani is right there.

105
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: He just hit that. I just thought it was an

106
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: interesting question, like that's something I fully really thought about. Yeah,

107
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: another funny thing happened. I don't get this. So you

108
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: tell me you went viral this weekend, and you went

109
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: viral for an absolutely nothing burger to me and no

110
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: offense to you, Like, no, I don't get it when

111
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: you told me about it, but you essentially what you

112
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: were like, shoho Tani is gonna be MVP, And apparently

113
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: that got like twenty plus thousand people just liking it

114
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: and going out. So tell us about the viral thing

115
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: and what was the chaos surrounded around simply saying Otani

116
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: is gonna be MVP in n L. What a hot take.

117
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: It's so stupid, man Like, I used to spend hours

118
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: every evening writing detailed notes and none of those ever

119
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: go viral. And it's just one stupid tweet I sent

120
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: off the other night. I just said, twelve players and

121
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: MLB history have won three MVP Awards. There's only one

122
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: who has at least four, and that's Barry Bonds. That

123
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: is until Shoho Tani Waltz is his way to his

124
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: fourth this season, and he'll I've done it over a

125
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: span of just five years. He's gonna win four MVPs

126
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: in five years. No player in Major League history has

127
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: four other than Barry Bonds. But this tweet went crazy.

128
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: FanDuel Sportsbook retweeted it this morning. I don't understand it.

129
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: It's always the little stupid ones to take five second.

130
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: But people love show hey, people love show hey content.

131
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 2: That's why some people will get mad. Why is MLB

132
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: only posting show hey, o Toni. That's the stuff that

133
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: does tend to fly around the internet.

134
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: It's the stuff that sells, so yeah, Tani sells. I

135
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: think it's like all of it. The MVP races are

136
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. The nail's really not like they tried

137
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: to do this little like, you know, hey, Kyle Shwarper's

138
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: kind of involved, and it's like he's not like it's

139
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 1: it's a tiny TONI is also pitching, you know, going

140
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: five innings and hitting homers and say like, oh, you

141
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: struggled on the mound and then you hit a homer.

142
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: Like there's nothing we can do about that. Plus Dodgers

143
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: are kind of getting hot again a little bit, like

144
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I have not giving them the credit.

145
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: Another thing of dealing with this weekend and some shows

146
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: was like, first off, you have the Milwaukee Brewers, who are,

147
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: on paper the best team in baseball is ask that question.

148
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: I think, on paper, yes they are. I personally think

149
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: the Phillies are like the best combination of everything, but

150
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are right there. The Dodgers are the scariest.

151
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: Like whether it's on paper or best combination, they're just

152
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: still the scariest. Because of show, heyo Tani, so like

153
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: things are gettings getting kind of weird and things are

154
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: getting tricky. The al there's a conversation you can have that,

155
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: you know. The I think Judge is like last I saw,

156
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: which was last week was like minus two twenty. But

157
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: Judge isn't done much. This might be much closer between

158
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: him and Kyle Raley. So shohyo Tani cal Raley. People

159
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: scream at one then the one guy go oh, Tony

160
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: can't win it. Cal Rawley's gonna win it, And you're like, yeah,

161
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: different league.

162
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: The commenters were not kind to him, and neither was

163
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: I really, but you know that's what happens when you

164
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: come into my comments and you say you say hilariously

165
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: stupid things like that, It is pretty dumb.

166
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Jo Justin Verlander notched his thirty fifth hundred career strikeout,

167
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: putting him in I think here he was the tenth pitcher. Yeah,

168
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: so that would put him in tenth place to reach

169
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred strikeouts, and he's like eleven in away

170
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: from I believe, passing Walter Johnson, so you know, top

171
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts of all time. Wasn't great, wasn't great on

172
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: on his performance, and he's talking after the game too, like, eh,

173
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: my stuff is still out there. Any thoughts on Justin Evan?

174
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: He's a first ballot Hall of Famer. I don't think

175
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: we need to see him in baseball anymore. I think

176
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: I think he can set sail off him and Kate

177
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: Upton can go live a happy life because I mean,

178
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: he's got a four and a half THERA could be

179
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: supposed a lot worse. You know, Dylan Sees had a

180
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: worse era and he was still pitching, so I think

181
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: things could be worse, but Verlander not so great, but

182
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: incredible career. Thirty five hundred career strikeouts, ridiculous.

183
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 2: It almost feels like Tom Brady at the end when

184
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: you're just pushing for one more season, one more season.

185
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 2: But at least Brady was really successful those last couple

186
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: of years. What Justin has done the last couple of seasons, eh,

187
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: five forty eight ERA last year, four fifty three. This season.

188
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: The strikeouts aren't what they used to be. The command

189
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 2: isn't what it used to be. You know, it's funny

190
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: you mentioned the stuff. It's still above average, one zero

191
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: six stuff rating overall, yeah, is very good. But the

192
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: location plus at ninety three, pitching plus at ninety nine.

193
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: He's not the same guy. He's never gonna be again.

194
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: I think this is the last year where ever going

195
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: to see Justin Verlander. I'm not sure about the contract stuff. No,

196
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: he's a free agent after this year too, so it

197
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: works out with the contract. Just set off on the

198
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: yacht with Kate Upton somewhere, man, like there's no point anymore.

199
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: There's no point.

200
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: There's kind of a world and it's and it's weird,

201
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: but like we've been blessed with just the new blood.

202
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: But there's a world where like next season you might lose,

203
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: Like you know, for us, you know, the less ten

204
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: fifteen years of baseball we've grown up around Max Scher's

205
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: or Clayton Kershawn Verlander. There's a world where they're all

206
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: three are gone, you know, like they're just all gone

207
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: next season, and they're like those are all Hall of fame.

208
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: He sure's your Hall of Famer, like Kershaw's no doubt,

209
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: Verlander sure's Theuries, right, yeah, three cy youngs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

210
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: I did my brain. I had to like think about

211
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: that for a second. I always think about the guy

212
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: that came in and struck out eight in his debut

213
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: for the Diamondbacks. But like you've got these like you know,

214
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: Cy Young pitchers that we've all grown up on the

215
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: epitome of it, and then they're gone. But we're blessed

216
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: with the Hall schemes and the trig Schooble, so we

217
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: don't have to think about any of them.

218
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: You want to hear something funny though, Welsh that I

219
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: just remembered. So when Max Schers was first drafted by

220
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks back in two thousand and two thousand and

221
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 2: four or something, tw thousand and five. We had a

222
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: mutual friend who was working in minor league baseball at

223
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: the time, and this mutual friend picked up Max uers

224
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: Or from the airport right after he was drafted. And

225
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: that person was Dan Bespers.

226
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: Really Dan picked up yeah because he but didn't he

227
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: work for like the Dodgers.

228
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: He bounced around a little bit. But I remember Dan

229
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 2: telling me that story that he picked up Max sures

230
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: Or from the airport. Nobody who was listening knows who

231
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: Dan is, most likely unless you're in a fantasy basketball

232
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, our good friend Dan Besperus used to be

233
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 2: in minor league baseball calling games. He was like assistant

234
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 2: general manager. Just a little fun fact for any fantasy

235
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: basketball fans out there.

236
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: Faby cent, are you serious? Yeah, I'm looking back. What

237
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: a ridiculously stupid thing to be like it. I just

238
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: had to think about it for half a second, like

239
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: my brain shut down. But yeah, I mean two World Series, three,

240
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: Cy Young's eight All Star Games. He's like, what is

241
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: this number? Forty four shy of thirty five hundred, So

242
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: ridiculously stupid of me, So apologies for my stupidity here

243
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: in it, But yeah, I mean it's it's an incredible

244
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: career that is span close to twenty years and it

245
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: is three Hall of famers that you know, we just

246
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: be without next year. And also like bigger question is

247
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: are we going to see a lot more pitchers like

248
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander and Max Schers or are we going to

249
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: see those guys? With how baseball is changing, you know,

250
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't know in.

251
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: Terms of like two hundred wins, three thousand strikeouts, those

252
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: types of things, I don't think so like what does

253
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: the Grom have ninety something wins? I know he missed time,

254
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: but it's just impossible at this point even you know,

255
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: three hundred wins used to be the benchmark right for

256
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, and then they had to lower

257
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: it the two hundred. Remember Royallliday was just over two hundred.

258
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: And now it's like guys are going to be in

259
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: the one, one, twenty one, thirty one forty range and

260
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: that's going to be the new Oh wow, one hundred

261
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: and fifty wins. He's a Hall of you know, that's

262
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: where we're going to start getting to. I think eventually

263
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: can be a couple.

264
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: Guys are going to push it, you know, I mean

265
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: Skiing's probably gonna have ninety eight career wins if he

266
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: stays with the Padres too much longer. But you know,

267
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: like Trike Skouble, Garrett Crochet, I think those are guys

268
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: that can push it. But the problem is I don't

269
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: think you can look at the grom You've got to

270
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: look at the new breed of pictures and you got

271
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: to say, like, what is that guy? The long Joviy

272
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: By the way, every why is it one freaking out

273
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: over the hat? The hat? This is this one and

274
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: the only reason that that it's the Gorhams. Actually it's

275
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: like the whole great story around the Gorhams, and it's

276
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: like alternative to one of the New York minor leaguers

277
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: and everything like that. But what's more important than anything else.

278
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: This is the hat that is famously depicted in our

279
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: one piece art of Me and Joe. If everybody remembers

280
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: that may or may not become a T shirt by

281
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: the end of the year for when Joe comes back

282
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: where Joe really loves the picture of himself. You know

283
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: which one I'm talking about. You know which one we're

284
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: talking about where he gets really excited, No Joe piece

285
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: of Joe Piece of we did a one piece bit

286
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, so this is the hat. We're

287
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: backwards doing it today. We're you know, we're chilling. We're

288
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: chilling today. A couple of bouncebacks this week and James

289
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: Wood two for five, had a pair of doubles, and

290
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: Mackenzie Gore nice performance, three hits, six innings, ten strikeouts,

291
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: kind of back with it. Are you back in the

292
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: good graces of Mackenzie Gore after getting blown up? And

293
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: are you in the good graces of maybe trusting James

294
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: Wood after picking it up just a tiny bit.

295
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: James Wood I am more bought into for him. You know,

296
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: we saw such an amazing start to his career going

297
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: back to last season, but you are going to see

298
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: some ups and downs for a young guy. I think

299
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: he's still twenty two years old, so you know, he

300
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: was cold as can be for a month or so there,

301
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: maybe even a little bit longer. But I'm not really

302
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: worried about him. Mackenzie Gore is interesting because he was

303
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: facing the Giants and Bubba posted this on Twitter. The

304
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: Giants are one of the worst teams against lefties, so

305
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: and they're not a great offense to begin with. So

306
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: I don't know how much I want to read into

307
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: it after that start, I did, you know, pick him

308
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: up in my home league, which is a ten team

309
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: head to head league after he got dropped. But I

310
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: don't know if the average person needs to be running

311
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: to the waiver wire after this start, because if you

312
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: look at the way that Mackenzie Gore's career has gone,

313
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: he does tend to fall apart in the summer months.

314
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: So it's a good start. I'm kind of interested a

315
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: little bit if you have a free space on your roster. Sure,

316
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't drop anybody of note for him.

317
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: Though COR's got a three eight eight expected ERA, it's

318
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: a little bit lower than where he's at. I think

319
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: that performance definitely helped. The big blow up is a

320
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: thing that takes him out, but he had two back

321
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: to back. He gave up fourteen runs in his previous

322
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: two starts against the Astros and A's and just kind

323
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: of refound himself. James would I'd say he's also hitting

324
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: two still only hitting two hundred and augusts only that's it.

325
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: He's had two games where he's picked.

326
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: It back up.

327
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: But his talent is so absolutely ridiculous that it's hard

328
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: for us to ignore a couple others. I just threw

329
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: out here, so I thought they were interesting. Joe Jormeiro

330
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: picked up his third save of the season, so that

331
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: has continued to be a nice little pickup in the

332
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: save market. And isa Collins three for five, two run scored,

333
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: had a homer against the Mets in like two ninety

334
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: He's just been such a good pickup. Have you still

335
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: floating out there? A great way to kind of balance

336
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: out your roster, don't you think?

337
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a shame for Isaac Collins. I mean maybe

338
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: at this point he's gonna make it more of a conversation.

339
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: But we could be looking at the National League Rookie

340
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: of the Year at this point if he keeps things up.

341
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: If you're looking at wins abub replacement, he's up there.

342
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: He's number one, actually above Drake Baldon at this point.

343
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: He could make that.

344
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: Wow, that's actually impressive if he's already jumped to avolve.

345
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: When Van Rodd asked a Junghu or Collins, I would

346
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: say Collins.

347
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: I said Collins. From now Lee has turned things around

348
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: as well, but I think Collins is who you got

349
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: to go with. In that lineup right now. I mean,

350
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: the Brewers are the best team in baseball over the

351
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: last two months.

352
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Let's answer a couple more questions from our friends here,

353
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: Faby Ramon Roman Anthony or Ramon Loriano. I mix those

354
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: two and he's asking about just for today in that question.

355
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: Oh just today. Yeah, I didn't even see that that

356
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: was just today.

357
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: So it's Christian Javier or Logan Webb as the opposing pitcher.

358
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: I am taking Christian Haavier there, so I'm going Roman Anthony.

359
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, that I would have done it probably, Yeah, Doyle,

360
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: Collins or Marcy. Fourteen team head to head categories. Ops.

361
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: I think I'm going Isaac Collins. But I think all

362
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: three are worthy in a fourteen team league. I think

363
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: they should all be rostered. But Breton Doyle, his turnaround

364
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: in the second half has also been really really good.

365
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: Jacob Marcy, my friends, Jacob Marcy doing the business. Shout

366
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: out to my boys, Shout out to my AFL. Take

367
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: two years ago. Start Ryan Nelson today.

368
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: Ryan Nelson today is against.

369
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: The Rangers, against Ranger and Evaldi. It's a tough I

370
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: actually think it's still surfaceable. I'm not sure. I can't

371
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: promise you're gonna get your quality start. I think he'll

372
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: keep them in it. But you know, if you're hunting

373
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: wins and you've got a better option, maybe I don't.

374
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm not foreseeing blow up territory.

375
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, the more I look at it,

376
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: the range good. Last three weeks, the Rangers are the

377
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: twenty first ranked offense in the league. Nelson has been consistent,

378
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it. You may not get a win,

379
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: it might be a toss up there, but five innings

380
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: of good ratios, four or five strikeouts, I think you're

381
00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: probably gonna get that out of them.

382
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: Question for you gents, if you have Christian Xavier on

383
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: the I L and Nestor Cortez is the West pitcher

384
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: in your stable? Worst best maybe worst worst, worst best.

385
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: There's so many different ways that's not the best.

386
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: There's no way he's the.

387
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: Best West coast, the best coast. Oh yeah, he said worst,

388
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: thank you? So who you keeping Cortez here? What a

389
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: what a wild ride that was of a question. So

390
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: if Cortez is the worst, I would rather I would

391
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: dump Cortez for Javier. Who's going today.

392
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fine with it. I don't know like Xavier had,

393
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: did he have the brace procedure or did he have

394
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 2: Tommy He had Tommy John, right, I think it was

395
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: Tommy John. So you never know what the first couple

396
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: starts are going to look like. I'm honestly, I'm not

397
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: really that interested in either of them. But I guess

398
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 2: it's Javier. But I think there's probably better options on

399
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: a ten team waiver wire.

400
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, shout out to uh the peanuts

401
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: and Crackerjacks, you guys that are hanging out. We can

402
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: see we have like cool little animations and stuff. When

403
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: you guys sub in, I know we had a little

404
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: hype trained JDH Solar Flare resubscribed on the Prime. We

405
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: got some streaks going on, We got some new followers.

406
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: Do all the stuff, man, do all the stuff in

407
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: the things. Go out there, give us a follow on here.

408
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: That costs you nothing. If you get the subs, whether

409
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: it's on Prime, which is free, you get rid of

410
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: the ads or you can gift them, or you can

411
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: do the stuff like Van Rod just resubscribed on Prime.

412
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: So Van Rod's not dealing with anything. Do all the

413
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: stuff in the things. We'll shut you out. We love

414
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: you very much, and we've got a killer schedule. I

415
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: guess we can just do that real quick here. Now. Baseball,

416
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, tapering down in the season, but we've got

417
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: a big football schedule here as well. We got daily

418
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: live streams, so we got best ball stream coming up

419
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: later today ericson and Tom strack In. We've got Seth

420
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: Wilcock and Debro Tuesdays and Wednesday's at two pm Eastern.

421
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Thursday's five pm e I'm actually on here with Bogman.

422
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: I believe this Thursday, so come and check that out.

423
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: And then Friday is also five pm Eastern. We got

424
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: the schedules. I think it's on twitch as well. We

425
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: have daily stuff, lots of other fun things, so make

426
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: sure you guys are checking us out, subscribed and hanging out,

427
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: especially especially if you're in the football stuff. All right,

428
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: a couple more questions and then let's get back to

429
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 1: it because we got some prospect and some bets to go.

430
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: Is Waldrop worth the pickup? Maybe might be Waldrip I

431
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: believe it was started throwing more of a sinker, kind

432
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: of redefined that pitch, which is just settling him out.

433
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: It's got this good split finger and stuff. I think

434
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: a deeper leagues Waldrip is I'm not sure that I'm

435
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: running to the wire to try to stream. I might

436
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: want to like pick up and watch first, but deeper

437
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: leagues I'll say probably, But would be a great question

438
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: to be like, would you rather Waldrip and or I'm

439
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: just not one hundred percent sold on any Braver, any

440
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: of those Waldrips fixing all that stuff. Keeper question Bragman

441
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: around six or Matt Shaw around fifteen.

442
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: It's a good question. I think I'm probably taking the

443
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 2: discount on Shaw, but I wouldn't fault you for going Bragman.

444
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: If it's short keepers, I think I'm going to take

445
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: Breggy's because I think Bregman is better competitive push. If

446
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: that was like four keepers, if it's twelve, I don't know,

447
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, twelve like having that discount and knowing so

448
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: many players are taken off the board and getting that

449
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: high pick would be worth so much more, if that

450
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, so shorter keepers, probably Bregman for winning

451
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: now though drop Simpson from marsh never No, unless you

452
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: don't care about.

453
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 2: Stolen basis, I couldn't do it.

454
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: Okay, they're perfect d D. Someone asked about lu keishel

455
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about him in a second.

456
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: Some rookie lookie action. Coulson Montgomery is ridiculous to run score,

457
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: to walk a solo home run against the Guardians. Are

458
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: you how in are you on Coulson Montgomery, because like

459
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: I know, you said, like you're not the biggest, you know,

460
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: prospect guy, and yeah, I was kind of beating the

461
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 1: table a bit for Coulson Montgomery though there wasn't a

462
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: lot of There wasn't a lot of stuff that pushes

463
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: for him, you know, like the minor league metrics and

464
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: stuff look kind of stinky and they're not like the

465
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: most incredible thing here. But he's just been so clutch.

466
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: But so far two thirty eight but has nine homers

467
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: in just over one hundred of bats, which is sick.

468
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: He's got an XBA that's higher fifty percent barrel. I

469
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: love strakeouts are maintaining and he looks clutch as hell

470
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: is Coulston Montgomery and absolute must pick up for you.

471
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: Yes and no, I don't really buy the power. I

472
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 2: just when you look at what he's done in the

473
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 2: minor leagues. Twenty twenty two, it was eleven home runs

474
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, it was eight home runs twenty twenty four, eighteen.

475
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: I don't see him as a guy who is just

476
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: all of a sudden like this massive, massive power hitter.

477
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: I think that we're gonna see the barrel rate, We're

478
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: gonna see the home run rate come down. I'm like,

479
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: what's the home run to fly ball? Right right now?

480
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: It's got to be massive for this guy. So I'm

481
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 2: just I'm not totally sold playing for the White Sox.

482
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: A lot of swing and missing this game, not a

483
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: lot of contact. I think this is just a hot

484
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: streak that I don't think you really need to worry

485
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: about it in like a ten or twelve team league.

486
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it's in team league. I do think

487
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: this is a hot streak. But I also fully believe

488
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: that Colson Montgomery is a twenty plus summer on hitter.

489
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a thirty or forty. I don't

490
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: know where you are. Oh absolutely, I've watched him for

491
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: four years. Like his he is a big ass dude.

492
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean six three, two thirty. He's playing shortstop. He's

493
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: got a six swing when he's on. His problem has

494
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: always been swinging miss and he looks like he's fixed

495
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 1: some of those problems, so deep, deep, keepers, I'm into him.

496
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: I think he's been good. And the question was going

497
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: to be how about Luke Keishall three for five had

498
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: to walk off a two run homer in the eleventh,

499
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: and I was going to say, who would you rather?

500
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: Keishall or Coulson Montgomery because we had somebody ask like,

501
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: is Luke for real? Luke?

502
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm probably going with Montgomery there, just

503
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 2: because I don't really trust the surrounding environment in Minnesota,

504
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: although it has been a lot too bad since the

505
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: break or since the trade deadline, excuse me, They've actually

506
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: been not too bad. But Chicago over the last three

507
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: or four weeks is like a top five or seven

508
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: offense in baseball, So I'd probably go that road.

509
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: I love this, like two look at these two random

510
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: back to back the things. Luke is a must pick

511
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: up he's infielder, and then it was Montgomery's like Matt

512
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: McClain when he came up. I just love like the

513
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: randomness of both different people answering. Yeah, there's a little

514
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: bit in both of those, you know. I think if

515
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: you're chasing power, you want Montgomery. It's both probably the

516
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: two grossest lineups out there, White Sox and Twins. But yeah,

517
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you're chasing a little bit

518
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: more speed, Keishel's there. If you want more power, I

519
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: think Montgomery's. They're both great options and there's probably some

520
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: dead weight on rosters you could look at. Also, Mickabel

521
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: allowed one run. Speaking of the Twins, one run, four

522
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: hits and four and one third innings a triple A

523
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I think we could see him in the

524
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: near future, because what the hell of the Twins doing

525
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: so if you're looking in the streaming world and making

526
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: his first major league start. Luis Morales was lifted after

527
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: walking five in two and two thirds, but it was hitless.

528
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: Hitless out there had a really big strike issue. Good

529
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: stuff in the miners may get some you know, make

530
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: it some spot starts out there. We'll be on the

531
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: lookout for that. But the rookie, lookie, my friends takes

532
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: us two. Prospecting with me, prospecting with the Welsh, Well,

533
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: we're going to take a look at some of the

534
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: game's biggest prospects that could be coming up soon. The

535
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: August This mid August edition is really tricky, and I

536
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: want to give a little preface because I believe to

537
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: start here, there are a couple prospects that we've talked

538
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: about in the previous video or two. We can come

539
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: back to us. A couple prospects we've talked about that

540
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: are August fifteenth or sixteen likely to come up, So

541
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: I just want to mention them before we talk about

542
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: the names today because I don't want to rehash the thing.

543
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Bryce Eldridge would be one of the top guys that

544
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: I would pick up today. August fifteenth is the designation

545
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: where a guy cannot lose or if they come up

546
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: after August fifteenth, they cannot lose their designation of rookie

547
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: eligibility for next year. That's key because teams can control

548
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: them and then they can have them for a PPI

549
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: pick or whatever the hell it's called for next season.

550
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: So August sixteenth is a critical date. So with that,

551
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: Bryce Eldridge I think is like at the tippy top

552
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: of one of those guys. I think Carson Williams is

553
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: another one of those players. Owen Casey, Bubba Chandler, Andrew Painter.

554
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: Those are all guys that we're paying really close attention

555
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: to because I think they are way, way more likely

556
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: than any other prospect to come up on the sixteenth.

557
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: So you ask, what are we talking about? Then, well,

558
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: I got three prospects that I think are hovering in

559
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: that line. I don't think they're guaranteed August sixteenth guys

560
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: that are gonna come up, but I think they're in

561
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: the conversation. And then I got a couple other lists

562
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: for you, some players that move up. So let's talk

563
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: about the first guy we're going to talk about, Samuel Bissio,

564
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: Samuel Besio with the Baltimore Orioles. We've had so much

565
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: conversation about him, Joey Like, it has been ridiculous. Everyone

566
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: where is he? When are we going to get him up?

567
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Just this past weekend on Sunday, as a matter of fact,

568
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: when two for five had four RBIs. He continues to hit,

569
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't continue to make people feel super comfortable. Defensively,

570
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: he's got twenty three homers in the miners. He's hitting

571
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: two seventy seven three eighty four OBP the underlying stuff

572
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: ninety four, average x velosity around ninety four and a

573
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: half with a fifty six percent hard hit rate, he's

574
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: getting the ball in there. I think we are getting

575
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: to a space now where offensively he's doing all the things,

576
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: he's checking all the boxes. He doesn't have a thirty

577
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: percent strikeout rate. Defensively is a question, but that bat

578
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: having some progression after August sixteenth makes a lot of sense.

579
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: With the Orioles catcher, I think he could play a

580
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: little bit of DH, he could play a little bit

581
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: of first if they want to move him around. I

582
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: think there's big questions defensively what they're going to do

583
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: with him long term, but the time to figure it

584
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: out is in about six days when you still have

585
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: him as a rookie next year. So I think there's

586
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: a high likelihood we could see him. Joe, do you

587
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: have any thoughts on Samy of the style? Very big

588
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: popular name, probably someone you're a little bit more familiar

589
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: with in that Baltimore offense. I think he's a good

590
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: speculative marker if you missed out on guys like Eldridge.

591
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: But what do you think.

592
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: I think in the two catcher world, if you're in

593
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: a league where you have to start two catchers, then

594
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: it does make sense. If we're talking one catcher leagues,

595
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: which does make up the majority of fantasy baseball leagues.

596
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: It's a lot harder for me to get behind it.

597
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: I just I don't know exactly. First of all, the

598
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: Oriols with their prospects, so they've handled everybody has been

599
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: infuriating with it. When they call them up, they'll play

600
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: a few games, send them back down. So I don't

601
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: even know exactly what the usage would be. But he's

602
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 2: not taking games away from Adlie, or not not significant

603
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 2: games away from Adley. I don't think they got Kobe

604
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: Mayo playing first. Maybe they switch them in and out

605
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: of the catcher d H spots and kind of go

606
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: off with Adlie. That could be what they do. I

607
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: think part of me just doesn't trust Baltimore after the

608
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: last couple of years of seeing how they've kind of

609
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: mishandled prospects. But I do think in two catcher formats

610
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: he's worth it. It just hard for me if somebody's

611
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 2: in a twelve team, one catcher league, because who are

612
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: you dropping. You're not dropping guys like you know, Kirk

613
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: or the Contrerez or Ramirez, Perez, Baldwin, Yiner Diaz has

614
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: picked it up. It's a lot harder for me in

615
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: those one catcher leagues, but two catcher formats, fill your boots,

616
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: go ahead, no problem.

617
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: And I think the thing to look for is I

618
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: don't expect him to come up and play catcher. So

619
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a guy that they're bringing him up, they're

620
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 1: going to be up to play every day. So you

621
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: can put him at your YouTube, you can put him

622
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: at catcher, and if the bat gets hot in that lineup,

623
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: that's where things get really exciting. That's my excitement around it.

624
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't strictly look at this as as a catcher thing,

625
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: but if you also we're in the time of year

626
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: where it's not worth holding onto catchers that continuously struggle

627
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: and don't give you any offensive stats, I think you

628
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: can have a higher turn style. So if be on

629
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: the lookout for Samuel Bissio after some of those big names,

630
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: couple pitchers to take a look at. How about Quinn Matthews.

631
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: Quinn Matthews weird ridiculous year. We thought this guy could

632
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: have really been up at the beginning of the season,

633
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: had kind of a nasty fall off. Numbers were so

634
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: much worse. They have really stabilized and he has refound himself.

635
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: He's got a three three six ERA over seventeen starts,

636
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: almost eleven k per nine so far this year. The

637
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: gross are the walks. It's around six per nine, which

638
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: has been pretty freaking nasty. And that's something obviously the

639
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals are gonna want to have fixed. But I think

640
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: we're at a point where the team would benefit from

641
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: getting him some major league time, and in the majors

642
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: we've seen some couple good starts out of him. He

643
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: just pulled a nice one over this weekend. Stuff is

644
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: still good fastball at ninety three slider. He's down ticked

645
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 1: the usage on the slider to throw a little bit

646
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: more of a curveball, and I think that pitch mix

647
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: is going to work in the majors, and I think

648
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: we're going to see him here soon. So pinning the

649
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: matchup like if the Cardinals are going over to the

650
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: Dodgers hard pass, but if they're not, I think Quinn

651
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: Matthews could definitely be someone we look at streaming. And

652
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: then finally, and then I'm gonna give you a couple

653
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: side names here. Let's talk about Nolan McClain with the

654
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: New York Mets. The New York Mets have a few

655
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: starting pitchers. As a matter of fact, they just sent

656
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: some players up to tripa A. Brandon Sprott has kind

657
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 1: of refound himself a little bit, which I think has

658
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: been absolutely critical for his matchuration, and he would have

659
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 1: been a guy I would have said much early on.

660
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: But we're going to talk about Nolan McClain because he

661
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: has been almost unhittable. This is a former two way

662
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: player not too long ago. McClain a two four six

663
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: ERA through twenty games pitch so far this year, He's

664
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: got just under a ten k per nine walks are

665
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: pretty manageable, does not give up Homers. Has one of

666
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: the nastiest sliders. They want to call it a sweeper

667
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: in the miners right now. He uses that pitch a lot.

668
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: Around twenty eight percent of the time he gets strikeouts

669
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: on it. He throws ninety five. It could be a

670
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: bullpen thing. But I think if they're going to go

671
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: to any spot starts, which this team is a sinking ship,

672
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: the New York Mets worst team in baseball through the

673
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: last ten games one to nine, that they might need

674
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: to jolt this and I think to do that is

675
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: to bring up some live pitching, and I think Nolan

676
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: McClain is that guy. I think he would have big strikeouts.

677
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: You know what it would actually be. I think it

678
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: could be reminiscent to a Max schers or debut, four

679
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: or five innings, eight nine strikeouts, unhittable with the power fastball.

680
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: I really like Nolan McLain. He's been pitching at Triple

681
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: A the majority of the season. You know, he's been

682
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: up there for a long time, so I think after

683
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: his fifteen games pitched in Triple A, we could see

684
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: him here soon. These are not the most likely likely

685
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: of the August sixteenth they're called up, but those three

686
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: players in Quinn Matthews, Nolan McClain, and Samuel Bessiah, I

687
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 1: do think we could see. And then the final thing

688
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: I just want to leave you with is we had

689
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: a handful of players that just moved up to Triple A.

690
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: And what that does is it doesn't guarantee anything, but

691
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: it definitely puts players on the radar that in a

692
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: snap they could be called up to the majors. And

693
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: I thought there were some interesting ones, number one being

694
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: Travis Bizana. Joe Travis Bozana miss time played out here

695
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: for a little bit. I think the maturation of what

696
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: they would want out of him has slowed, but they're

697
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: moving him up. The rest of the class has all

698
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: gotten to the majors. He's in Triple A now. He

699
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: has an incredible OVP. I don't think it's out of

700
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: pocket that we see him. I'm not guaranteeing it. I

701
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: think it's more likely for the AFL, but he's up

702
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: at Triple A. We could see him in a couple

703
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: of weeks if they really wanted to. If Bizana got

704
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: called up, would you make a waiver claim on Travis Pozana?

705
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: I probably would in a I'm a deeper league player.

706
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: I'm playing a lot of fifteen team mixed rod leagues.

707
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: I'm picking him up in those spots, or at least

708
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: speculating on him. Cleveland's been better as an offense over

709
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: the last month or so. They have a one oh

710
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: eight WRC plus. As much as they've been bad for

711
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: the season as a whole, they have kind of turned

712
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: things around recently, So I feel like if he does

713
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: get called up, that would be something I am kind

714
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: of interested in. Where do you think he would play?

715
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: Do you think he would take over for Rokio or

716
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: how do you think that would that would shake out

717
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: playing time wise?

718
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think they would want him to

719
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: go over and play second. I think that's the I

720
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: think that's where he would slide into and I think

721
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: they Again, these are not likely. It's just they're moving

722
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: up to Triple A. So I think you have to

723
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: pay attention to other gona throw at you. Carson Binge

724
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: has been incredible. It's another met you know, they made

725
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: their moves. I'm not sure that they do it. But

726
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: if there's any injury Binge going up to Triple A.

727
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: He's been one of the best in the minor leagues.

728
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: I love him. Some are talking about him as a

729
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: top not just fifty, but maybe top twenty five prospect

730
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: in baseball. And then Peyton Tolly. Now I put Peyton

731
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: totally on here. He did get hit up a little bit,

732
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: I believe in his first Triple A debut, But again,

733
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: you're looking for a jolt into your pitching staff if

734
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: you have any more injuries. Totally is somebody that could

735
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: instantly help the Red Sox now up at Triple A.

736
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: I do think there's a possibility. All of these possibilities

737
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: after August fifteenth, so all of them will still have

738
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: prospect eligibility next year. So then they would uy for

739
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: an extra pick and control. You know, that's how it goes.

740
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: So they go.

741
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: That is prospecting with me the Welsh to end this

742
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: bad boy out. I got a couple more of these

743
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: this season until we get into September.

744
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: Prospecting with the Welsh.

745
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: I know everybody likes Joe's version. Let's hear Joe, Let's

746
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: hear your version of prospecting.

747
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: Prospecting with the Wells. I can't do there.

748
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: You guys did I No, he didn't. No, he did

749
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: a great job.

750
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 2: You would have great guys in Toronto don't tend to

751
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: have good Southern accents. What can I say?

752
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: You did really good?

753
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: All right?

754
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: Three up and three down up, Sunny Gray. That might

755
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 1: be a reason. Quinn Matthews is an up seven innings,

756
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: one run, ball, striking out seven picked up the dub

757
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: against the Cubs. Spencer Steer three for five with a

758
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: homer and four RBIs and Common Zardo two for four

759
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: two homers, had seven homers over the past month. He

760
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: just like vanishes and then it's just like poof, Just

761
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: here's five homers in like a week, and then he

762
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: just goes away again. He's like the Groundhog's day. You're

763
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: just like, oh, okay, you know, seven more weeks of

764
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: summer or whatever it is common Zarta is weird, dude.

765
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: I would love consistency out of him next year.

766
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: He was so great in April I or he was

767
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 2: one of those hot first base pickups that everybody was

768
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: jumping all over. It hasn't worked out, like he has

769
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 2: thirty four runs this season despite having twenty homers, but

770
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 2: we've definitely seen splashes. Isn't that ridiculous? Like?

771
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: Is that's what dumb it? That's super dumb. Like if

772
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: he I wanted to see like six hundred bats, I

773
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: want him to have like thirty two homers and have

774
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: like thirty five runs. That's I love that stuff.

775
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: He's up and down man, like April one thirty WRC

776
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 2: plus May seventy four and then one oh six, one

777
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: fifty seven, two oh six overall. I think he's going

778
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: to be a really good ballplayer once he gets the

779
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: consistency stuff figured out.

780
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: My dude. On the down, jack Sonowitch lasted only three innings,

781
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: allowed six earned runs on nine hits against the Tigers.

782
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: Want Quinn Priester roughed up six earned runs ten hits

783
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: against the Mets, and Slay Chaconi gave up five earned runs.

784
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: Just real quick on on Quinn Priester. I've been calling

785
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: him a unicorn because nothing makes sense with him, Like

786
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: the level of good that he's been has not made

787
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: any sense to me. Now I want to look and

788
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: see what that game changed, because you know, he's not

789
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: like a high strikeout guy. He has some walk issues

790
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 1: as well. He's there did boost up. It's all still

791
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: respectable three four nine ERA three seven five expected, but

792
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: barrel percentage creeping up a little bit, hard hits creeping up.

793
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: You know, he's got like a eleven K minus walk percentage,

794
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: which just isn't really good like Fastball's okay, Like, are

795
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: you a buyer or do you think this is like

796
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: I loosely say buyer, Like do you believe in Quinn

797
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: Priester still he'll continue his unicorn status? Or is this

798
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: the death of the unicorn? Shout out to that movie

799
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: that I just watched, and that like he's going to

800
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: come back down to earth with some of those bad metrics, some.

801
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 2: Of the stuff under the surface doesn't really excite me.

802
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 2: I think that he has been kind of like his

803
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: teammate Jse, like Quintana. Both of them have pretty mediocre numbers,

804
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 2: and they've both been very good this year, and there's

805
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 2: no real reason for it. I'd be more inclined to

806
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: think that he is somebody that you can stream in

807
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: and out of your lineup. I'm not looking at the

808
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: schedule right now, but he's somebody where I wouldn't feel

809
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 2: bad sitting him in bad matchups. The next one comes

810
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 2: at Cincinnati, So I guess, coming off of this one,

811
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 2: would you start him at Cincinnati? I might. I don't know.

812
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 2: It's tricky. It's a tricky one.

813
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Brewers paper best team in baseball. I'm

814
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: a little dicey about it, just like in if I'm

815
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: hugging ratios. Actually might I might sit that one and

816
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: just see if he re establishes himself. It just depends.

817
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: Everyone's leagues are so different, Like, you know, one start

818
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: can ruin everything, and it's like, if I'm in that place,

819
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: I might be like really really picky about some of

820
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: the starts, And I think I'm a little worried we

821
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: might be in for a little bit of a bumpy

822
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: road for Quinn Priester, but we'll see he might just

823
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: bounce back from it. Let's go to some injuries. Bobby

824
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: Witt did not play on Sunday due to back stiffness.

825
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: No bueno. Let's watch that. Ronald'cune has progressed to doing

826
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: sprints and outfield drills. Close closing in on a return,

827
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: but I imagine there's going to be some type of

828
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: a rehab stint that's in there, so just you know,

829
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that one. Byra Buckston is likely

830
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: to return off the IL at some point during the

831
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: twins upcoming series against the Yankees. So that's a big

832
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: plus if that's you know, he's only one. Aaron Nola's

833
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: going to make one more rehab start on Tuesday and

834
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: as a candidate to be activated as soon as this

835
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: weekend against the Nationals. It's going to ask you like, oh,

836
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: would you be you know, weary of starting Nola on

837
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: his first start off the IL, not against the Nationals.

838
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: Not against the Nationals. They've been awful over the last

839
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 2: three weeks eighty nine WRC plus, but they are a

840
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 2: bad offense. You can target. Nola has Nola was not

841
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: good before, but I'm still willing to start him here.

842
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: No problem, Yeah, Samesi's where we bryce. Miller making his

843
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: third rehab starting Dacoma. Jamison Taian built up to seventy

844
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: eight pitches in a rehab start, striking out six, allowing

845
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: one to run. Kyle Bradish is expected to make at

846
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: least one more before getting to the majors, which I

847
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: imagine he'll be kind of slow rolled. Javier. We mentioned

848
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: Christian Javier. He's going to be having his first start

849
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: today against the Red Sox. If you can, you probably

850
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: want to avoid Matt Vierling placed on the ten day

851
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: with an oblique Hunter Green is going to be starting

852
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and Rokie Sazaki is going to begin a

853
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: rehab assignment on Thursday. So there you go in the

854
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: injury world. Now let's make some bets. It's time for

855
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: the best bets of the day here for Monday, for

856
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: mister Joe Rico and myself. And let's take a look

857
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: at our card. There it is my card. I'm gonna

858
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: just throw at you here. I decided to throw it

859
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: together a little bit of a strikeout part. I am

860
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: pairing down two of the big strikeout guys today, Garrett

861
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: Crochet and Yamamoto down to seven, and I'm parlaying them

862
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: together to get one and a half. So I get

863
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: plus one fifty one when I go Crochet at seven

864
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: and Yamamoto at seven, so it's a seven and seven

865
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: equals one and a half strikeout parlay. I'm also going

866
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: to be going with the Dodgers minus one and a

867
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: half on the run line minus one oh nine, and

868
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: then I am team Schwarbs. I mentioned at the top

869
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: of the show. I think you know Schwarbs is he's

870
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: on a great run. At two sixty five or right

871
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: in the two sixty range. He's hit since July first,

872
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: he's most homers since June, most homers since July. Both

873
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: of those numbers. He just continues to go. And I

874
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: think he's in a good spot today. And you're getting

875
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of plus money plus one oh five

876
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: on two total basis for the Schwarbies going up against

877
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: a Raidy. So that's my car, Joe Rico, what do

878
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: you got for today?

879
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 2: So I am really interested in Kate Cavali after seeing

880
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 2: his first start in a couple of years the other day.

881
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 2: He's got a nice two start week coming up. For

882
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 2: anybody Fantasy World looking to pick him up, I would

883
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: be doing so. But the strikeouts are interesting to me.

884
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 2: He had six and four and a third the other day.

885
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: You can get now, this is an alt line because

886
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: the actual line was like minus three and a half

887
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: and it was minus one eighty or something minus one

888
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: seventy five. So I played it up to plus to

889
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: five plus strikeouts and you're getting that at plus one

890
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: thirty six. He's facing a Royals team that does not

891
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 2: strike out a lot, so that's something you have to

892
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: be wary of. But I think five is a relatively

893
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: low number that you shouldn't worry too much about him hitting.

894
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 2: Based on what we saw in that first start, stuff

895
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: looked really good. I'm excited Philadelphia and Cincinnati over nine

896
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 2: and a half runs. We got Taiwan Walker and Andrew

897
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 2: Abbott in this one. Abbott has been very good as

898
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 2: a whole this year, but we started to see him

899
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 2: come back down to earth a little bit. Taiwan Walker

900
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: is actually in the midst of a pretty decent run,

901
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 2: but he is still Taiwan Walker and this game is

902
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 2: a great American ballpark. So over nine and a half runs,

903
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: and that one is something I'm really interested in. And

904
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: then another alt strikeout total here Yoshinobu Yamamoto, similarly to Welsh,

905
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 2: we're both taking the over. I've got it at eight

906
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: plus again, this is an alt line because at minus

907
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: or excuse me, at over six and a half it

908
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: was kind of juiced. So he's facing the Angels today

909
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: and this is a team that has struck out more

910
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: than any team in baseball over the last month. So

911
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: I'm playing that one up to eight plus at plus

912
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 2: one sixteen today.

913
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: How's a slick. I like those bets and you can
