1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody. Welcome into Fantasy Pros. This is

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Leading Off Live, the Fantasy Baseball Podcast. It is me

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: Joe Rico back here with Casey Bubba. We're going to

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: be bringing you through the headlines, news and notes, injuries,

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: best bets, and all of our usual goodies here on

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: the Wednesday Leading Off, Bubba, great, be back with you

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: after a little bit of a break over the holiday.

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: How you doing, my friend doing great?

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: Do you have a little little break? But we're back, baby.

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: We're on our Wednesday, Friday, September schedule, bringing the noise,

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: the goods. I don't know what they want to call

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: it to the Fantasy Baseball Years.

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: The rest of the way, we have a lot of goodies,

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: and I want to remind you guys that this is

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: a baseball show. I'm seeing questions about Jacorey Krofsky, Merritt

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: and Braylen Allen in the chat. I could try and

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: answer them, but I certainly wouldn't be giving you the

18
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: greatest advice. We've got a lot of stuff going on

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: here the Fantasy Pros Discord. We've got Twitch streams, tons

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: of YouTube videos for your football questions, so you can

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: get those answered today, though, we are going to be

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: talking some baseball, and I just want to remind you

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: guys off the top here, if you haven't done so already,

24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: subscribe to the channels, whether it's YouTube, whether it's the

25
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: podcast feed here on Twitch. This is the time of

26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: year where people do start, as you can see in

27
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: the chat, to go over to football. And you can

28
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: help us with some of that hamorrhaging by continuing to subscribe,

29
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: like comment and do all those great things on our videos.

30
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: But we are gonna start with some of the headlines.

31
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: And you know, normally I probably wouldn't have even bothered

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: bringing this up, but Garrett Crochet had quite a stinker,

33
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: and it happened against a horrendous, horrendous Cleveland offense. Just

34
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: looking at you know, August just finished, so I was

35
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: looking at August stats as a whole. Cleveland had a

36
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: sixty two WRC plus in the month of August. They

37
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: were by far the worst team, and so naturally Garrett

38
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: Crochet gets lit up for seven earn runs, four homers,

39
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: with some of the most unlikely characters hitting home runs

40
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: off him. Rochio and the like any concern here at

41
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: all over the final couple weeks with Crochet Bubba, just

42
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: considering how poor this opponent is, or are we just

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: chalking this up to a bad start and we move on.

44
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: You got chalking up to a bad start. It's not

45
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: like you're gonna sit them anytime soon. It's just it's Crochet.

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: There's always concern coming into the season when they kind

47
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: of slowed him down last year when he hit a

48
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: roadbump again as his innings keep climbing later in the season,

49
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: but it was one of those it was three home

50
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: runs in one inning that really blew it up. And

51
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: it was obviously to your point to a horrific Guardians

52
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: team barely hitting two hundred vers lefties over the last month,

53
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: just dreadful. You just kind of not just went up

54
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: to hashtag cuz baseball is the way I look at it.

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: And now if it's multiple starts, yeah you're concerned, But

56
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: by then the season's over, so your rock and roll

57
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: for three or four more trips through the rotation.

58
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: What this did, I think is just absolutely put the

59
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: nail on the coffin for the Treek Schooble saw Young.

60
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: I think it was pretty close in the last couple

61
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: of weeks could have maybe swayed it one way or

62
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: the other. But I think this pretty much like here

63
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: is it for school?

64
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: You agree, Bubba, Yeah, it should lock it up for Scooble,

65
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: like Crochet, has been nothing short of amazing. Scoobl's had

66
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: his hiccups of late, but like any other pitcher would

67
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: take his hiccups, they're just kind of rough for his standards.

68
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: It would take some colossal blow ups this final month

69
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: for Scooble to make this interesting again.

70
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: I thought we had it when they were playing ok

71
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: not Oakland. I keep doing it when they're playing the Athletics.

72
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: And he gave up that Grand Slam and I was like,

73
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: oh my god, six earned runs for schoobl This is

74
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: going to make it close. But there was an error

75
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: and that ended up being just one earned run. So

76
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: I think it is three Schoobls. Maybe on a show

77
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: next week we'll do like final Award predictions. But things

78
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: are starting to solidify at this point. Another kind of

79
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: rough outing from last night was Framber Valdez six earned

80
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: runs on eight hits against the Yankees. It's been a

81
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: bit of a tough road for Framber over the last

82
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: month or so. If you look at his stats since

83
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: the start of April or excuse since the start of April,

84
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: that would be the whole season. Since the start of

85
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: August five, sixty four ERA, he's allowed a three hundred

86
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: batting average against nineteen earned runs in thirty innings. Hasn't

87
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: been very sharp. Does that give you any worry about

88
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: Framber Valdez. His next start will be at Toronto on

89
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: the weekend against the Blue Jays. Would there be any

90
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: thought of potentially setting him in a daily league for you?

91
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: It's very interesting to bring this up because we talked

92
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: about it on last night's Bubble in the Blue like

93
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: we did first half for a second half player Raiders

94
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: and he's one of the big as followers. In the

95
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: second half, it's been dreadful and a lot of it

96
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: is due to the August performance you mentioned. There's a

97
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: couple of things that kind of stand at with Framber

98
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: which become very interesting when trying to decide that first off,

99
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: to your point, it is a very tough schedule for

100
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: Framber Valdez down the stretch if we're like looking at

101
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: the final month of the year. You mentioned the Toronto Star,

102
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: which is terrifying as you are very well aware with Houston,

103
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: but then he has after and the six men rotation,

104
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: he's got three more starts. That was the other part.

105
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: So it's it's Toronto Fremento, so not the friendliest environments.

106
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: But to the point, the walks have been up a

107
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: bit for Framber. He still has a it's a dreadful

108
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: seven point six percent kaya walk, so that has been really,

109
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: really bad, but also a three forty two Babbitt that

110
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 2: ground ball rate. The Babbitt's through the roof, so it's

111
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: kind of a yin and a yang with him. Not

112
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: to mention, he likes to cross up his catcher hit

113
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: him in the guts with the ninety nine sinker, which

114
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: is not ideal. So you're starting him. He's an ace,

115
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: but it's not comfortable.

116
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: I saw that there was a lot of to do

117
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: on social media about the cross up with the catcher,

118
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: and some people thought that he hit his catcher on purpose,

119
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: cross him up on purpose after a big hit. I

120
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: didn't see a lot of this, did you see this, Bubba?

121
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, it's pretty like before that when he

122
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: gave up the Grand Slam movie to Grisham, the catcher

123
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: was the rookie catcher Salazar was trying to tell him

124
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 2: to back off because it's not the pitch salas Are

125
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: wanted him to throw. Franber wanted to throw it. He

126
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: gives up the tater on him, puts it on a

127
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: tee essentially, So then the next pitch was supposed to

128
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: be off speed, he throws the same pitch. It's him

129
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: right in the gut, which was not great. There was

130
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: internal meetings with management after the game between the three

131
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: of them and the rookie basically jumped on the grenade.

132
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 2: But it definitely sounds like he jumped on the grenade.

133
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 2: So I don't know if where there's smoke there's fire

134
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: on this one.

135
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never know, Like with a rookie catcher, is

136
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: he going to be calling pitches himself? Are they coming

137
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: from the manager? I don't It's it's very complicated. But

138
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: it looked like there was quite a bit of drama.

139
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: I saw like every major account had picked us one up,

140
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: and there was some drama in your neck of the

141
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: woods too, with Kyle Freeland and Rafael Devers. It looked

142
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: like there was some unhappy campers out there in Colorado.

143
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: I didn't actually see that one either. I was I

144
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: was working last night and just saw some highlights, but

145
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: any insight on that one, bubs.

146
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a PG show, so I'm gonna keep

147
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: it simple. But Kyle Freeland grow up is the best

148
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: way I could say. Devers didn't even look at him

149
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: until Freeland started the fight, and then Chapman tried to

150
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: slow it down, and then Willie domis the best teammate

151
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: in the world, was about to put Freelan in his

152
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: grave before that got ended. It It was beautiful. And

153
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: then Freeland was being held back by like a Don

154
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: Zimmer lookalike, So you know that was pretty good. It was.

155
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: Freeland comes out afterwards and says, I've been doing this

156
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: for nine years, show me some respect. Well, first off,

157
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: when you give up almost two hundred home I researched

158
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: this yesterday. As you can tell a near fourteen percent

159
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: career kate or home run to fly ball, you should

160
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: be used to this by now throwing it out there,

161
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: not to mention Dever, not like a rookie, and he

162
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: just and if you look at the replay, didn't really

163
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: show him up much. Never looked at Freeland once and

164
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: he just bat flipped and went on. It was the

165
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: most child. It was mad Bumbs was bad and I'm

166
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: a Giants fan that was bad. With Muncie, this might

167
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: be even worse.

168
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I'm gonna have to go back and

169
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: take a better look at the footage I just saw,

170
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: like the little clips here and there. But you know,

171
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: it gets good, you know, keep things entertaining as we

172
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: head into the stretch. Runt of the season. Appreciate Van

173
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Rod gifted community sub cheer three hundred bits. We really

174
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: appreciate your support all throw up the season, Van Rod,

175
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that. Let's get to a

176
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: bit of brighter news though, on the pitching front. Nolan

177
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: McClain another outstanding game. Six innings of two run ball

178
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: on three hits while striking out seven. This is four

179
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: victories and four starts, and it seems like the only

180
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: pitchers the Mets can trust at this point are their rookies.

181
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: What is your thought on Nolan McClain. How good do

182
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: you think he is? And you know, just starting to

183
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,119
Speaker 1: think a little bit about next to your top thirty pitcher,

184
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: top twenty five, top fifty, what's the ballpark for you

185
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: at this point?

186
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's awesome. He's been nothing short of amazing. I

187
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: was waiting for yesterday to be a blow up because

188
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: he gave up those two in runs early against Detroit

189
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: that he settled in once again. Three walks, seven k's.

190
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: He's got at least six k's and all four starts,

191
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: which is great. Twour in runs are less. He's got

192
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: four total and runs in twenty six innings. He's been

193
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: nothing short about standing for the Mets. I think he's

194
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: a in that thirty ish to forty range just because

195
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: he is still young. So I always kind of take

196
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: with the you know, kids gloves literally when I when

197
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: I look at this, But there seems to be a

198
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: level to him that could be very very good. I

199
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: don't know if there's a sophomore slump. We'll see, but

200
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: you could say close to thirty. I think that's fair.

201
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: I think there will be some people if he does

202
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: this two three more times, he might creep up towards

203
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: twenty come. You know, February.

204
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: I could see it. And this is why you know,

205
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: you jump into some early drafts. Maybe you get a

206
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a cheaper price on him than you

207
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: would once the calendar flips of twenty twenty six. But

208
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: the minor league numbers are really good. The walks were

209
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: a little bit of a concern, but so far it's

210
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: a seven point four percent walk.

211
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: Right.

212
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: The number that shoots off the page is the one

213
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: twenty one stuff plus, which I know is not everything.

214
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: But here are the pitchers this year who have a

215
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: higher stuff plus than that. It's Scoobale, Crochet, Chris Sanchez, Wheeler, Freed,

216
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: and de Grom. So just on a pure stuff level.

217
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: As a decent company to keep, uh, he looks fantastic.

218
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Will he have rookie eligibility next season? I don't think so.

219
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna be close, though, it's gonna be very close.

220
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: Forget what the It'll be real close to debuted on

221
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: August sixteenth, So it depends if they they could do

222
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 2: the whole Hey, we're gonna skip a start garbage. We'll

223
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: see how that goes. But I think he'll it'll be Yeah,

224
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: I'm not the expert in that. I apologize on that one.

225
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: So it's one hundred and thirty at bats or fifty

226
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: innings pitched, So he's at twenty to twenty six.

227
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: He won't get to fifty. They'll find they'll find a

228
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: way to shrink that because even if it's three more

229
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: starts at six innings, that's like forty five ish, So

230
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: he'll they'll find a way to finagle that one.

231
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean even if he threw seven in each

232
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: of the three starts, he still would be just short off.

233
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: It's I think that he's gonna he's gonna fall short

234
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: of that and get your early twenty twenty six Rookie

235
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: of the Year ballots in because he's looking fantastics. Too

236
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: soon to do any of that, but he's looking he's

237
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: looking brilliant. And speaking of brilliance, I know I'm a homer.

238
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be at the allegations, but I

239
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: want to talk about George Springer. Baba another monster day yesterday,

240
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: two home runs, his one sixty one WRC plus for

241
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: the season, trails only Judge and OTAWNI, that is how

242
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: good Springer has been. Yes, he has missed a little

243
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: bit of time. On one sixty one WRC plus, twenty

244
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: six homer, sixteen steals, he's hitting three zero five. This

245
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: does feel like a dead cat bounds after how terrible

246
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: Springer was last year. But I guess the question becomes

247
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: pretty soon, can he do it again in twenty twenty six,

248
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: and will you pay that price expecting that he will?

249
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 2: For an old like myself, I want to whatever fountain

250
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: of youth he has found. Dude's going to be thirty

251
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: six in like two weeks. It's ridiculous since he came

252
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: off the IL. You mentioned a season stat since he

253
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: came off the IL on August sixteenth, three point eighty

254
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: one with eight homers, twenty one runs, fourteen ribbies, and

255
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 2: four steals. It is ridiculous what he's doing now. The

256
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: biggest question I have is, you know, eventually father time father,

257
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: they win, it wins, That's just how life works. He's

258
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: been doing this a lot of dh Like do you

259
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: keep running Vlad out there full time? Like you could?

260
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: He's jump I'm not saying you can't, but it, Jeff

261
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: definitely is something that the team wants to think about

262
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: probably as things move on. If the price is right,

263
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: I will still be in on Springer. I'm wondering if

264
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: the price the price is great this year, Like I

265
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: have shares of George Springer going into twenty twenty six

266
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 2: with a season like he's put on, it's going to

267
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: push up unless we have enough age haters out there,

268
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: which will help the draft price. So it's tough to

269
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: your question. I don't trust a replay in twenty twenty

270
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: six because it's just hard for a thirty six turning

271
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: thirty seven year old to do this again. But darn

272
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: impressive what he's got going on.

273
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is. If you look at the

274
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: top ten outfielders, there are some shockers on the list. Springer,

275
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: Pca Yelich, Byron Buckston, Hunter Goodman are all occupying top

276
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: ten spots in the outfield player Raider. That's baseball for you, though.

277
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: You just never really know what Trevor Rodgers this year, right,

278
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: You can never really predict what's going to happen in

279
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: a given season. And I saw somebody mention Trevor Story

280
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: in the chat in the season he's having. So I'm

281
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: going to skip ahead on the outline and go to him.

282
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: Two for five yesterday, two ribbies in a steal, and

283
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: for the season, it's twenty three homers, twenty five steals,

284
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: seventy eight runs, eighty eight ribbies in a two sixty

285
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: one batting average for Trevor Story. The amazing thing about

286
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: Story is that in Colorado he was always having really

287
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: good years since he left Colorado. We have not seen

288
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: anything even really close to this. Yes, he's been injured,

289
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: but even on a rate basis twenty twenty three, he

290
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: had a forty nine WRC plus last year twenty six games,

291
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: two homer, six deals. He just thirty one percent strikeo

292
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: rate last year. He just hasn't been impressive really since

293
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: he left Colorado. And here we are. Trevor Story among

294
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: shortstops this season is number seven. He's been fantastic, with

295
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: a twenty four dollars value in twelve team leagues. And

296
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: I'll ask you kind of the same thing with Springer.

297
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: Do you think the Story can do this again? Would

298
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: you draft him in twenty twenty six thinking that he

299
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: can have another twenty twenty type of year.

300
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: Definitely. He'll be thirty three this November. I was all

301
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: aboard it this year because people were worried about the

302
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: health and it was fair. But he's been healthy this year.

303
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: Anybody can break down at any moment. Not going to

304
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: say he can't, but a healthy Trevor Story's never been

305
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: a big batting average asset. It's all about the twenty

306
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: twenty upside. He's always had that, even when he doesn't

307
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: hit for average. Right now, he's hitting for average. As

308
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 2: you mentioned on the season, it's been decent since August first,

309
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: he's hitting two ninety nine with six homers, eight stolen bases,

310
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: twenty two runs and twenty three RBIs like, that's out

311
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: standing for a little over a month of baseball. He's healthy,

312
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: he's thriving, and I don't see why he can't he

313
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: take advantage of that. The monster and left in Boston.

314
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: There's a lot to like about Trevor Story up and

315
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: coming lineup. He's still relatively young as long as and honestly,

316
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: it's the same exact thing with Springer, as long as

317
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: people don't go stupid on the price, As long as

318
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: he's not a top seventy pick or something like that,

319
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: then I'm fine with it. If I can get him around,

320
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: like you know, back into the top one hundred, we'll see.

321
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: It's way too early to figure out where you guys

322
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: are going to be going, But as long as the

323
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: prices don't get out of hand, I could see myself

324
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: being in on both Story and Springer next year. Let's

325
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: talk about Jazzchishem. Though I skipped over this one. We'll

326
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: go back to it. He had another big day yesterday,

327
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: two homers, a steal, he drove in three and for

328
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: the season as a whole, it's been one hundred and

329
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: six games, but twenty eight homers, twenty six stolen bases.

330
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: Is he the number one second basement for you or

331
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: will he be the number one second basement for you

332
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: heading into next year because we have ktel Marte obviously

333
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: still hanging around. Bryce Terrang has been number one this

334
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: year and he's been unbelievable. I saw it on the

335
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: other day when I was at the Blue Jay game.

336
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: He I think it was his tenth home run in

337
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: the month of August for Bryce ter Raang. So I

338
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: think there is a bit of a conversation at the

339
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: top there. Jazz has been brilliant second and third eligibility

340
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: in Yankee Stadium with that lineup, I think he'll probably

341
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: be my second basement heading into next year.

342
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: But what do you think, Bubba, Yeah, I think so.

343
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: We've always said it if Jaz could ever be healthy,

344
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: he's an absolute monster. Last year we was to one

345
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: hundred and forty seven games, twenty four homers, forty steals.

346
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: Now he's thriving with the short porch and more with

347
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: twenty eight, twenty six and only one hundred and six games. Yeah,

348
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: he's already got a career high on home runs. He's

349
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: probably going to get your thirty to thirty five steals

350
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: by the time the season is done. So we got

351
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: his first thirty thirty season on our hands. I don't

352
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: see how he's not the number one first or second baseman. Now,

353
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: there's always going to be the concern of injury with him.

354
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: That's just reality. But when you're looking for ceiling play,

355
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: it's hard to pass up on a guy like Jazz Chism.

356
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: And to your point, one hundred and forty seven last year,

357
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: assuming he finishes out healthy this year, it'll be one

358
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty ish. That's not too bad.

359
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: You know.

360
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: It's not like early Jazz chishm where we're seeing some

361
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: ninety seven sixty games and things of that nature. But

362
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: he's already set his career high in war he's tied

363
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: for his best ever WRC plus. It makes me think

364
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: back to that player's poll they did maybe a year

365
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: ago of who's the most overrated player in baseball, and

366
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: his fellow players overwhelmingly picked Jazz Chism doesn't seem like

367
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: that at this point, heading towards a thirty thirty campaign.

368
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about your guy, and I'm gonna call him

369
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: your guy, and I'll explain why in a minute. Junior

370
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: Camanio fortieth home run of the season. He drove in

371
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: four to get up to one hundred ribbies for the year.

372
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: Seven steals, he's hitting two sixty two. Brilliant season and

373
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: I saw I think he's the fourth player aged twenty

374
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: one and younger to have a forty home run season.

375
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: So this has been a brilliant campaign. The way I'll

376
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: phrase it to you, Bubba, is do the home and

377
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: away splits worry you at all? At home? He is

378
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: a one to sixty nine WRC plus. Away from home,

379
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: it's eighty four. And it looks like they are going

380
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: to be headed back to the trop next season based

381
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: on some of the reports, although who knows what's going

382
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: to happen in Tampa. Do those home and away splits

383
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: give you any pause? And you did pick him in

384
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: the first round of that early meatball drop, So I'll

385
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: give you the floor here to talk about kaman Arrow.

386
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: They don't, and I know that's been everyone's because That's

387
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: been a popular pick that people have discussed on recap

388
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: shows with Cameron Aarow, and I get it, but I

389
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: watched him hit bombs in San Francisco against the Giants.

390
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: When he hits home runs, they're usually no doubters. Let's

391
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: put it that way with him. A couple other factors here.

392
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: He's going to be twenty three years old, like super young.

393
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: There's more development that could be taking place here. He's

394
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: likely going to finish with like forty five home runs,

395
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: ten steals, ninety runs, and one hundred and fifteen RBIs like,

396
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: this guy is doing things that twenty two year olds

397
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: should not be doing. And we might not have seen

398
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: the top level of this ballplayer just yet, so I'm

399
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: all about it. I understand the trump is not a

400
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: hinter friendly environment, well aware of that, but I think

401
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: he can hit anywhere, and I'm gonna roll with that.

402
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: And let's just be real. If he gets forty five

403
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: this year, Okay, let's say they go to the Troup.

404
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: He's thirty five next year but still drives in one

405
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: hundred and scores ninety and hits two fifty five and

406
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: steals ten. That still plays for me at a third

407
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: base position.

408
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the first round. I feel like I go through

409
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: this every single year. We know the first five or

410
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: six picks are, and then from like seven through seventeen

411
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: or so, it's chaos, and you can see any kind

412
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: of order go. And I could see Caman Arrow going

413
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: as high as maybe six or seven and falling to

414
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: maybe like a little bit past the turn. But I'm

415
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: starting to buy in more and more and more, as

416
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: much as I have been a little bit worried about, like, Okay,

417
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: if they go to the trop and if the batting

418
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: average that he's put together on the road this year

419
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: sticks at home. But at the same time, like you mentioned,

420
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: he's twenty two years old right now, He's only been

421
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: twenty two for a month, and he's already got a

422
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: forty home run season. So I feel like you can

423
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: be a little bit concerned, But this kid is so talented,

424
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: like he really is. He's the next great third baseman

425
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: along the lines of Riley Dever's Machadoh. I think he's

426
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: in that same conversation. So when I first saw it, Bub,

427
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I was like, I don't know if

428
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: he's a first rounder. But the more I've thought about it.

429
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't have any problem with that pick.

430
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: Well, let me throw this back to you, because that's

431
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 2: everyone's thing is I don't know if he's a first rounder.

432
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: Well in the life feed and Rob has mentioned this

433
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: when he's been on shows and others when people ask

434
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: this question. I was debating between Cameron Aro and Francisco

435
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: Lindor at that pick. I got Lindor in round two.

436
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: So if I were to flop those and Cameron Arow's

437
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: in early round two, does that make it like no

438
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: question involved in this whole thing? Yeah, I mean that's

439
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: my yeah. So it was more like I'm going to

440
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 2: get my guys because we don't know for twenty twenty six,

441
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: where I didn't think Cameronaro would make it back is

442
00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: the thing.

443
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: No, that that totally makes sense. And I do agree

444
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: that if you see the Lindor in the first Caman

445
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: Arrow on the second, the shock values a little bit

446
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: less because when you haven't seen a player go in

447
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: the first round before and then you see them, it's like,

448
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: oh wow, okay, Schwarberg winning the first round, and even

449
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: though he's great, it's like, oh okay, you don't usually

450
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: see that. So it was a bit of a shock factor,

451
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: but I think it's at the end of the day,

452
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: you're locking in thirty five home runs at the very

453
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: worst with a two fifty two to sixty batting average

454
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: as a floor with potential for growth. Considering his age,

455
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: I really like him and Arrow if you could choose

456
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: long term between him and Jackson Cheerio, the other super

457
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: super young guy, who would you take.

458
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 2: There you are pulling at my heart strings. I am

459
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: all about team Cheerio. I take Jackson Cheerio. I think

460
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: I've said it going into this season. A healthy Jackson

461
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 2: Cheerio and yes there's injuries this season, but still putting

462
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: up a great year. Jackson Cherio is the closest thing

463
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: we've seen to Ronald Lecunya. He's also super young, like

464
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: I think Jackson Cheerio's got forty forty appeal, where Cam

465
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: and Arrow might have fifty to fifteen, which is really

466
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 2: good too, Like two different aspects from positions. But I

467
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: think I think Cheerio is just that total five category

468
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: monster that in two three years maybe less, we're talking

469
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: top three pick.

470
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: I could see it. I could definitely see it. My

471
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: dad couldn't believe it. Me. I took my dad to

472
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: the game the other day. I told me, this guy's

473
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: twenty one years old, and then Cheerio proceeds to have

474
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: a proceeds to have a three hit game, just a

475
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: great ballplayer. Let's take a couple of your questions here.

476
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: I still got that Krusky Marry question in the queue.

477
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. Jeff Hoffman or Ryan Walker. Jeff Hoffman

478
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: right now is a freaking disaster.

479
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: Man.

480
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: I feel like it's Mikey versus Bubba's guy. I feel

481
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna go with Bubb's guy Ryan Walker here.

482
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ryan Walker, for sure. That's been a popular discussion

483
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: point in the bubble on the Bloom Discord that Jeff

484
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: Hoffman people just want to get rid of him. But

485
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: I keep saying, there's no one else there, Like he

486
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: has picked up his thirtieth save on Tuesday Night. But

487
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: Walker is the better option.

488
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: The J's are kind of in a spot where they

489
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: don't have anybody that they could turn to with experience,

490
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: nobody that is as good on a stuff level, on

491
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: a strikeout to walk level. It's got to be Hoffman.

492
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: I think, as much as I don't want him to

493
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: be the closer unless they go to Yarrol Rodriguez. Eh,

494
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they go to Eric Lauer, who

495
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: will talk about a little bit. Yeah, in a few

496
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: minutes here, Luis Mattos or Jacob Marcy rest of season,

497
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: that's a.

498
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: Really good question. I love Luise Mattos. They're trying to

499
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: give him regular run, which is great to see. I'm

500
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: gonna go with Jacob Marcy just because I know he'll

501
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: play every single day where Matos still has a window

502
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: like he sat on Monday, which was frustrating. So I'm

503
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: gonna go Marcie b I love Motos.

504
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I agree, and that should speak volumes

505
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: going from a Giants fan taking MARSI start Yuri today

506
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: at Washington? I think I would. Washington is just so poor.

507
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: I know Yuri struggled a little bit, but I think

508
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: I'm rolling with him here.

509
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: What do you think, bub Yeah, he got a hope

510
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 2: for the bounce back. It was very ugly two thirds

511
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: of vininning in his last start. But you got to

512
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: hope things turn aroun against the Nats team. If it doesn't,

513
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: then you should get concerned. Yes, agreed.

514
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: Would you trade James Wood for Junior Cameronaro ten team

515
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: Rodo keeper. I think I would.

516
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: I think I would too. Actually, ten team that that

517
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: limited third base position stands out even more for Cameronaro.

518
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 2: Outfield is so deep in a ten team league, even

519
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: though I think Wood is a potential thirty thirty guy,

520
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: someday I'd take Cameron Arow in that format.

521
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: I think I would. Yeah, I don't know if this

522
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: is necessarily a wrong answer. I think it's closed. But

523
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: Cam and Arow, I think is by a hair who

524
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: we would go with? Hoffman or Tyler Phillips. As much

525
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: as Hoffman's driving me crazy, I think I'm still sticking

526
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: with Hoffman.

527
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 2: Agreed, and he's got the job.

528
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's keep it going and talk about

529
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: a couple of transactions. Kyle Harrison will make his Red

530
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: Sox debut today against the Guardians. Now I was a

531
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: little more excited yesterday before they destroyed Garrett Crochet. Now

532
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: another left he's going to be pitching against them today.

533
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: What is your interest level in Kyle Harrison as a

534
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: streamer as the rest of the season pickup.

535
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: I love Kyle Harrison, former Giant Kyle Harrison. I hate

536
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 2: what the Red Sox keep doing with Kyle Harrison, and

537
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: I'd be terrified to utilize him because as of an

538
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 2: hour ago, there's a chance Kyle Harrison might not even

539
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: start this kick. It keeps changing with the Red Sox. Yeah, no,

540
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I saw what you saw, and it's

541
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 2: been changed. Like literally, I'm looking at Twitter. This post

542
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: came out an hour ago that they're planning on potentially

543
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: not even calling Harrison up or using them as a

544
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: long man, and they're looking to a bullpen game with

545
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 2: Dustin may working out of the bullpen, not as the starter,

546
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: because originally to what you saw, Harrison would start may

547
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: Go's of the bullpen. But then reports started coming out

548
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: that the Red Sox are bringing Harrison to Boston to

549
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 2: potentially look at an injured ankle, which is the whole

550
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: There's a million weird things going on with this. I

551
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 2: hate it all. And for that reason, to your question,

552
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 2: I can't stream Kyle Harrison because I have no idea

553
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 2: what the Red Sox are doing with them.

554
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: Oh, given that information, I think i'd have to agree here.

555
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: I didn't see that before.

556
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: No, it literally just I remember I heard a rumor,

557
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: like when I was in the discord earlier working and

558
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 2: then I had, so I searched it real quick on Twitter,

559
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 2: and there it was that he might not even pitch today.

560
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm looking at the projected starters grids

561
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: that I look at, and yeah, it looks like Bernardino

562
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: starting May Kelly can go multiple innings. That's brutal. It's

563
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: really brutal if you're in a league where you like

564
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: picked up Harrison on waivers and now you're just stuck

565
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: and you don't have a move to make. But wow,

566
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: that is quite the turnaround. I guess this is why

567
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: you got to check Twitter right before you go live.

568
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: Hassan Kim was claimed by the Braves, and just based

569
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: on the way the Braves tend to play their starters

570
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: a lot, I think Kim is going to get every

571
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: day playing time rest of the season. I think you

572
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: might have been the one actually pointed that out on Twitter.

573
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: Somebody did I'm stealing from somebody might be Bubba there,

574
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: but they played their regulars pretty much every single day.

575
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: They haven't been great this year, but Kim, I think

576
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a deep league middle endfield options,

577
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: you can find worse.

578
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: Right. I love this move. I love huss and Kim

579
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: all season. He's just been banged up with his back

580
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: and his ankles and it's never really come to fruition.

581
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: But they're going to play him every single day. Is healthy,

582
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: Nick Allen plays good defense. Kim's a big upgrade everywhere.

583
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: He hit sixth on Tuesday night in his debut with

584
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: Atlanta and Atlanta offense, it's actually improving of late. Weirdly enough,

585
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: they're playing much much better at the plate, So I

586
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: love it. As long as he's healthy, he is going

587
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: to play pretty much every day. The Braves actually came

588
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: out and said that late Tuesday evening after their game,

589
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 2: so they want to give him all intentions. And from

590
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: like a real life standpoint, I knows this fantasy. I

591
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 2: don't know what the Rays are doing. He was so

592
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: cheap for next season. I know they got Carson Williams

593
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: their future at short stuff, but Kim can play third,

594
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 2: second or short like you. I know you got Camon Aaron.

595
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: I'm not clueless, but for the price, you could have

596
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: traded this guy for somebody if he's healthy next season.

597
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: I am baffled by that move. And yet again the

598
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: Braves another cheap player on their roster.

599
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like a pretty smart move for the Braves.

600
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: I saw mixed opinions of it on the internet, but

601
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: it's like, what a million dollars.

602
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: They had nothing to lose. Nothing to lose for a

603
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: guy that you know, hit fifteen home runs and steal

604
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: thirty bases if he plays a full season.

605
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: And they've been trotting out Nick Allen before. I mean

606
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 1: no disrespect to Nick Allen, but he is a fifty

607
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: two WRC plus this season, so he's essentially half of

608
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: one player.

609
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 2: So I think went Orlando Arcia to Nick Allen, Like

610
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: this is called an upgrade, Folks, Like, no matter how

611
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: you want to.

612
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: Look at it, long as Anthopoulos keeps his hands off

613
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: of Bashette this winter, we'll be fine.

614
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: But man, talk about except at first when you intro

615
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: that George Springer deal, I'm like, oh, we're talking bobashek

616
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: because he's been freaking amazing. But yeah, with the old man,

617
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: which I appreciate.

618
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: As great as Bashet's been, Springer is the team MVP

619
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: this year. Springer is, and we'll see what kind I mean.

620
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: What Bo has done is secured himself potentially a quarter

621
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: billion dollar deal. He's gonna get over two hundred million.

622
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: I think at this point he's potentially gonna be the

623
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: batting champion two hundred hits, twenty homers. The defense is

624
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: a little spotty. He's probably a second baseman in the

625
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: long run, but I could talk Blue Jays all day. Actually,

626
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: the next thing, ironically on the sheet is another Blue

627
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: Jays note. Who put the show sheet together?

628
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 2: Today? What's going on here?

629
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: So these kids?

630
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: Today?

631
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: Man, I'm telling you so. Eric Lauer is getting moved

632
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: to the Blue Jays bullpen. He came in in relief yesterday,

633
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: did not cover himself in glory, but he had to

634
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: come in and relief because Jose brio was lastly just

635
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: two innings on error. Did save the line a little bit,

636
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: but he gave up six runs, two of them earned.

637
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna stay in this rotation

638
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: because Jose brie is awful. I couldn't even believe it yesterday.

639
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: I know we mentioned stuff earlier. Jose Brios is a

640
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: seventy seven stuff plus rating overall. I don't know if

641
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 1: I'd ever seen one that bad for a regular starting

642
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: pitcher who's not pitching in like you know, Colorado or

643
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: a weird place that's going to mess up with your stuff.

644
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: He's awful, and I think that Lawer should go back

645
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: into the rotation. I think there's a chance that that

646
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: does happen if Brios keeps doing this where you have lower,

647
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: If you do have him, would you just cut him

648
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: and be done with it or hold him for the

649
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: chance that maybe he gets a few more starts.

650
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a discussion point on Monday's bench with

651
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 2: Bubba with Ben titd and it's I think he drop.

652
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: I think he dropped, but but I fully agree he's

653
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: going to start one or two more games for the

654
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 2: Toronto Blue Jays this year. So it's one of those

655
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 2: like you need all your roster spots this time of

656
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: the year. That's kind of where it comes down to.

657
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 2: But be ready to kind of get aggressive because it's

658
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: not just the Barrios thing. As you know, and I

659
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: don't have to preach Jay's to you, but you know,

660
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: Chris Bassett, he's been up and down the hillstick Sures

661
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 2: just dealing with the back. Like right now he's back

662
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 2: to being normal, good to go, but we know Sures

663
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 2: they're could have a thumb, a back, a neck. You know,

664
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: they made a nineties hip hop song about him. It's

665
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: at any moment he could be on like missing a start.

666
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: Here comes Eric Klower. So I get it's all over

667
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: the place, and I think we will see Lauer back

668
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: in there and making some noise because I don't think

669
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: you want to see Barrios in the postseason like last

670
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: time where all hell broke.

671
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: Loose for you God, that was when I actually liked

672
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: Barrios and we pulled them out.

673
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all did, and we were all like, why'd

674
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: they pull him.

675
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: Three innings or something or two innings and twenty twenty two, well,

676
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: I think they didn't even score a run in that game,

677
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: so I don't know if it would have even mattered

678
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. But oh the Blue Jays.

679
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: They do have a couple off days coming up on

680
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: Tomorrow and Monday, so maybe that does mess with an

681
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: extended if they try to like deepen the rotation a

682
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: little bit, that might be hard with the off days.

683
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: But I do think that Lower is probably going to

684
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: see at least two more starts. And please God, don't

685
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: let Jose Burrios be on that playoff roster. I can't

686
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: deal with it. I just I just can't. Let's talk

687
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: about a couple rookies. Let's let's get out of Toronto

688
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: and talk what Sal Stewart called up by the Reds.

689
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: They had him playing first base in his first couple

690
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: of games, which is a little bit weird. And I

691
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: heard Tito Francona he was giving an interview they were

692
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: playing the Blue Jays.

693
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: Again.

694
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't mean to do this, but he was talking

695
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: with the Toronto broadcasters and they said, like, I don't

696
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: care if he makes a bunch of airs a first base.

697
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: We're just bringing him up here because Steer was knocked up.

698
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: We needed somewhere to play him. He's been hitting the

699
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: cover off the ball in Tria this year twenty homer,

700
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: seventeen steals with a one fifty one WRC plus. Is

701
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Sal Stewart somebody that you think is worth adding in

702
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: like a standard twelve team league for now?

703
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: Yes, the hit tools ridiculous. He's playing first base. He's

704
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: playing for Spencer Steer, though, who has been battling a

705
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: leg injury that Francono said for over a month. So

706
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: now they're letting him rest as rosters have expanded, so

707
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: we'll see how long he gets to rest for it,

708
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: because it's been two games already. It's just tough. Like

709
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: once if Steer comes back, like Cabrian Hayes, defense is

710
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: going to get him off the field. The outfield's pretty crowded.

711
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: It just kind of makes you wonder where Stuart's Like,

712
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: I agree if he's playing, yes, but I'm very cautious

713
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: that he consists playing time will be there right now.

714
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: And that's the problem with September expanded rosters. A lot

715
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 2: of prospects getting the call, but I don't think a

716
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: lot of them are going to get the playing time

717
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: we need down the stretch.

718
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: That's the thing. You know. I get a lot of

719
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: questions and I know you do too every day about

720
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: like this player or that player, and whenever these rookies

721
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: get called up, everybody loses their mind. But like when

722
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: Bosio got called up, everybody my questions were like, so

723
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm dropping Kirk and I'm dropping Drake Baldwin for him, right,

724
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: And it's like, no, you're probably not. Like when you

725
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: have a solidified asset performing, it's that old family guy

726
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: thing like oh the mystery box. It could be anything,

727
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,719
Speaker 1: or it could be allehandro Kirk, Like, I think, if

728
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: you have an asset that's performing in a spot in there,

729
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: sure thing, you don't need to pass them up for

730
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: a maybe. And Sal Stewart at this point does look

731
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: like a bit of a maybe, And so it was

732
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: the next time, we're going to talk about Harry Ford

733
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: in Seattle, who they've called up. He has not got

734
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: into a game yet, but in the minors this year,

735
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: ninety seven game, sixteen homers, seven steals, he's walking a ton.

736
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: He is a four oh eight on base percentage, but

737
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: he's not playing right now, and I've getting a couple

738
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: of questions about him. I just don't think that he's

739
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: worth an ad unless something were to happen, like let's say,

740
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: if Garver gets hurt or something. Okay, but for now

741
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: I can't really see it well.

742
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: And to the additional point is if these projects were

743
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: going to get playing time, they would have been called

744
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: up before September first. That's part of the problem here.

745
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: And I love Harry Ford. I think there's a huge

746
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: future for Harry Ford. Probably mess this guy called the

747
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 2: big dumper that plays a lot of catcher, and I

748
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: don't know if I've heard of him before pretty good,

749
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: he's gonna block him quite a bit, and so there's

750
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: the Garver situation that might give him some playing time,

751
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 2: and Ford can play the outfield as well. I think

752
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: he's more there, like you might see him pinch run

753
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: with the speed. Later on, he'll pinch it. He'll get

754
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: a start here and there. But for the most part,

755
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: the managers are competing for the postseason. Harry Ford is

756
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: not going to be a key part in that lineup

757
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: unless some injuries take place, and that's just the reality

758
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: of the situation. They want to get him a couple

759
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: cups of coffee, let him know what it's like, and

760
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: maybe twenty twenty six is it's time to shine, because

761
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: I think the dumper eventually goes to first base and

762
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: they let Ford catch, don't they.

763
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: Have another catcher in their system. Fairly highly puderful.

764
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cover the Al West for hq PT tomorrow,

765
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: so I dig into the miners a lot. They have

766
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: some guys that are a lot of guys like two

767
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: to three years out that are gonna make some noise

768
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 2: pretty soon. So yeah, Dumper at first base makes the

769
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: most sense going down the line.

770
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: I think it does. Yeah, I think Naylor is headed

771
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: the free agency.

772
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't make he's a free agent atter this year.

773
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: Rawley's pretty strong defensively, although not as good this year,

774
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: so maybe they try and milk a couple more years

775
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: behind the plate. But I think eventually, yeah, he'll be

776
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: He'll be manning the number three spot. Let's talk about

777
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: speaking of three, three up and three down Andrew benin Tendy.

778
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: What a day he had yesterday, four for five, three

779
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: runs and five ribies. Now, most people haven't cared about

780
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: Andrew benn and Tenndy this year, nor really should they,

781
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: but there have been stretches for fifteen team players like

782
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: you and I were. He's actually had some decent value

783
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: Andrew Benintendi has.

784
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Benny Bystep's flexing it on Monday Night, and to

785
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: your point, he's had his stretches. He he does this

786
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: and it's a very good set of matchups this week,

787
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: and it's a bad Twins pitching staff. So it wouldn't

788
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: be shocked if we see another decent game, not this

789
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: type of game, decent game out of him. Yeah.

790
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: The White Sox as a whole, I mean they're not

791
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: quite as bad as I was. Really anticipating here. I mean,

792
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: the record's not great, Don't get me wrong, the record

793
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: is pretty poor. But as an offense, I think there

794
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: are some pieces here where I could look forward to

795
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: next year and think, Okay, I can see myself investing

796
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: in some of these guys in the mid to late rounds.

797
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo, who is the number one first baseman for

798
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: the season. It's been a little bit up and down

799
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: as a whole, but he's been great, like two for

800
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: five yesterday, two solo home runs. I say it's been

801
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: up and down a little bit. He started really hot,

802
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: cooled off a little bit, but thirty three homers, one

803
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve ribby, seventy six runs. I feel like

804
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: he's probably the number three or four first basement off

805
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: the board next year, behind Vladi and Kurtz. Does that

806
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: feel about right to you at this moment.

807
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's earned that right because you know Olsen's falling

808
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: off quite a bit. It feels like so Pete should

809
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: have been locked in there at that late second, early

810
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: third round most likely.

811
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Harper will probably be somewhere in that range too,

812
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: but you don't think.

813
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: So he's free falling like I think he I think

814
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: he's there on name value, But the more I looked

815
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: at him going into this year and even even this year,

816
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: he's good, don't get me wrong, but is he that

817
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 2: good for fantasy? I'll let people debate that this offseason.

818
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: Well, I think the question becomes is he worth using

819
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: an early pick on when first base is looking so deep?

820
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: You know it's deep, and he's literally basic, Like I

821
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: guess if I'm gonna throw that bomb out there on

822
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: Bryce Harperrol is just just real, real quick. Well just

823
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 2: because Okay, he's played one hundred and ten games, it's

824
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 2: your twenty three homers eleven steals. He had thirty homer

825
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: seven steals, twenty one eleven, eighteen eleven, thirty five thirteen.

826
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: That's a lot of down seasons for a guy it

827
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: said two sixty nine too, eighty fives. At least the

828
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 2: average has been decent, but the counting stats he hasn't

829
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: had one hundred rb is is twenty nineteen, one hundred

830
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: runs is twenty twenty one. Like, it's a lot of

831
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 2: what if for a guy at that draft price.

832
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: I think that's totally fair. Actually, yeah, not the healthiest

833
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: player over the years.

834
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love price Harper like, I'd love him on

835
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 2: my team. I like his attitude and stuff, but when

836
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: it comes to fantasy like, I think he gets drafted

837
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: so high based on name value alone.

838
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair, honestly. And heading into age

839
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: thirty three, season thirty two to thirty three is the

840
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: age when a lot of guys start to lose a

841
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: step with the bat speed, unless they're George Springer, in

842
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: which case do you have a Barry Bonds type resurgence

843
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: at age thirty five, which I am absolutely here for

844
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: the last of the ups, And you know, I try

845
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: and find guys that we usually take a crap on

846
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: and put him in the ups if I can. Miles

847
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: Michaelis six innings of one run ball against the A's,

848
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: albeit he didn't get a strikeout, but six clean innings

849
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: from Michael's are mostly clean innings is about as much

850
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: as you can possibly hope for. Let's talk about the downs.

851
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: Slight Chacony seven earned runs on eleven hits against Boston.

852
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: He did strike out eight. I had some high hopes

853
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: for Slay Chacony, but at this point I'm kind of

854
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: throwing in the towel on him. His next start is

855
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, so I could see wanted to stick

856
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: around for that one, but I think I'm pretty much

857
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: done here, Bobo.

858
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: What about you? Yeah, I dropped him a couple of

859
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: weeks ago. Like I was. I was in on him

860
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: early on. It's kind of gone downhill since they left

861
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: him out too long to try to get that complete

862
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 2: game a while back. Strikeouts are there, but the run prevention.

863
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: Is not right now. I remember that it was like

864
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: he had gone and I think it was in the

865
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: eighth inning that really give up like three or four

866
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: runs and just destroyed the whole line.

867
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 2: Man.

868
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: Baseball is frustrating. Fancy baseball can be very frustrating. David

869
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: Schneider over four with three strikeouts yesterday, and Chris Paddock

870
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: had himself a horrible date. Demoted to the bullpen, came

871
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: on in relief through an inning and a third, allowed

872
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: six runs on eight hits, and then immediately went on

873
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: the bereavement list after the game. So just a horrendous

874
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: day for Chris Paddock. Wishing him all the best with

875
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: whatever is going on. He's gonna be away from the

876
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: team for I none to disclosed amount of time. Let's

877
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: talk about the injuries. Because we have some doozies to

878
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: talk about. Kyle Tucker had to leave early on Tuesday

879
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: with left calf tightness and has already been ruled out

880
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: for Wednesday.

881
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: Big concern here, Bubo, Yeah, because he's always hurt the least.

882
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: We well, I think we know what it is this time,

883
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: so that's good. And they said he's at Wednesday. They

884
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: have a day off Thursday, so hope they're open two

885
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 2: days off. We'll be back Friday. Cross your fingers because

886
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 2: he actually hit a home run like he's he's showing

887
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 2: signs of life, like, don't go get hurt now.

888
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea where to draft him next year.

889
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: Feel it will be a second second rounder probably, but

890
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: I have no idea at this point. Another guy is

891
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: probably a second rounder. Roman Anthony left early on Tuesday

892
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: with oblique titness and he will have an MRI today. Now,

893
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: I've already shown that I did not check Twitter right

894
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: before the show, but I didn't see any updates on

895
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: this one before we got going.

896
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen any either. I will search the webs

897
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 2: as we speak, but all I sawt was there waiting

898
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: for the results, and Anthony after the games that he

899
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 2: has never felt a pain like this before, so that

900
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 2: doesn't bode well.

901
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: That's not exactly what you want to hear. I did

902
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: not see that quote. That is not good, but getting

903
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: even worse on this one tugs at the heartstrings. Lordus

904
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: Gouriel diagnosed the torn ACL on his right knee. He

905
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: was trying to get out of the way of an

906
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: outfielder making a catch and he did an odd jerk

907
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: motion and his knee twisted and there goes the ACL.

908
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: On Lordus Curiel Junior. He's missing the end of the season.

909
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: It sucks because he'd just gotten hot in August. He

910
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: had I think thirty five ribbies. He'd been great. But

911
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: he is a clear drop at this point, regardless of

912
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: formatter and well maybe not into your deep keeper leagues,

913
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: but in every re draft league, Lorduscuriel is gone. Mike

914
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: Trout scratched on Tuesday with a skin infection. Honestly, bubb

915
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: but I feel like most people, if you're in a

916
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: standard sized, twelve team three outfielder league, you can move

917
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: on from Mike Trout.

918
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: No, yeah, he should have moved on a while ago.

919
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: Like Trout again, name value, but he's not worth much.

920
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 2: The bad jokes I saw in my discord yesterday was oh,

921
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 2: it's because he's allergic to septembers. But here we are.

922
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: I was distracted by this comment. Praying for a Kurtz injury?

923
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: What are we doing? We're not praying Kurt's injury.

924
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. Because you have a.

925
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: You probably got like a plus fifteen hundred ticket on

926
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony or something. But Nick Kurtz. We need Nick

927
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: Kurts to stay healthy, especially for a couple of my

928
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: teams down the stretch. Nicklodolos scratch from a start on

929
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: Tuesday due to an illness. They're not sure yet if

930
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: you'll be just pushed back or if they'll skip him

931
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: all together. So just keep an eye there on your

932
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: daily lineups. Tommy Edmond began to rehab assignment yesterday and

933
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: we'll focus on playing center field exclusively for the remainder

934
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: of the season. Any interest in a stash of Tommy

935
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: Edmond here, bubba, Now, he.

936
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: Wasn't hitting before he got hurt. I'm not gonna worry

937
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 2: about a two weeks stash of Tommy Evan.

938
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: Okay, bad, he is clarifying here, I mean, okay, praying

939
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: for like a not serious type of injury that makes

940
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: a lot more sense.

941
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 2: I saw that.

942
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: I was like, what are we doing here, Nick Kurtz, No,

943
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: I understand what you're talking about. Jason Adam diagnosed with

944
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: a ruptured quad tendon. Looks like his season is done.

945
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,959
Speaker 1: Pretty not good news for people in save and hold leagues,

946
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: or even if you're in a standard league and you

947
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: were using Jason Adam. He had some decent value this year,

948
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: even just as a guy who gives you i'd save

949
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: lots of strikeouts, et cetera. At a least, Garcia is

950
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: expected to avoid the ileft are suffering a quad injury

951
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: on Monday in Arizona, and now this one's pretty bad.

952
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: Twins have shutdown David Festa for the remainder of the season.

953
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 1: Arguably my biggest l in the preseason that David Festa

954
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: was going to be a great fantasy asset this year,

955
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: So I'll completely own that one. He will visit doctor

956
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: Keith Meister in the coming days to assess his shoulder injury.

957
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: That probably means we're headed for an offseason procedure of

958
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: some type and we're probably not going to have him

959
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: in time for spring training. So in your early draft.

960
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: If you see David Festa following, there will be a

961
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: reason for it. He probably should not be going earlier

962
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: than the top at this point, maybe five hundred picks

963
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: or so. But let's get to our best bets of

964
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: the day, and we got a couple of interesting ones here,

965
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 1: taking a lot of plus money across the board. Shane

966
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: Bieber over five and a half strikeouts, again targeting the

967
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: Blue Jays as they face Cincinnati today. Bieber has looked

968
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: really good in his first two starts, so getting this

969
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: number at plus money, I do feel very good about

970
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: Chohio Tani was able to go five innings in his

971
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: last start, and we're really seeing him start to get

972
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: ramped up a little bit more here now. So over

973
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: six and a half strikeouts against a team like the Pirates,

974
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm very interested in taking that one. And then the

975
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: Cubs run line. I haven't taken a run line bet

976
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: here in a while, but it's Kate Horden, who has

977
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: been looking like Greg Maddox for the last couple of months,

978
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: versus Bryce Elder and Bryce Elder we all know what

979
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: to expect from Bryce Elder. Not a heck of a

980
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: lot for the season. It's a five to eighty five

981
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: era and that essentially tells you the story there. So

982
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: I think the Cubs will pull this one out by

983
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: a couple of runs, and you're getting a really nice

984
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: line there at plus one thirty four, Bubba, what do

985
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 1: you have for the people today?

986
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 2: Love it? Three plus money bets show we're getting this thing.

987
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 2: Party started my usual prop betting over three hits runs

988
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: a rbys Wan Soto who's been nuclear hot of late

989
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 2: and the Mets have been nuclear hot of late, and

990
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: you get plus one thirty against Casey Mice who has

991
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: not been nuclear hot of late. So I'll take my chances,

992
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 2: and like literally, it's one swing of the bat for soda.

993
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 2: We're pushing a lot of games right now, so I'm

994
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 2: gonna take that one. I'm gonna go with your boy

995
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 2: mentioned em earlier. Bobaschett in Great American Smallport, Zach Lydall's

996
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 2: been struggling, Butshet is not over three hits runs and

997
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 2: Rby's at plus one fifteen and then another one I

998
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: like quite a bit is Mickel Garcia of the Kansas

999
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: City Royals taking on Cad and Dana returning to make

1000
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 2: his season debut from the Miners, where he's horrible for

1001
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 2: the Angels. This year, mcaul Garcia has been getting on

1002
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 2: base a ton. He's scored a ton of runs. Also

1003
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 2: shows a little bit of pop. So to get plus

1004
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 2: one thirty five over three hits runs a RBIs against

1005
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: a bad picture in Dana have to mention a bad

1006
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 2: bullpen in the Angels, and he's hitting third for the Royals.

1007
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of opportunity for like tug Arcia.

1008
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: To come through there. What a season Garcia's had. He's

1009
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: not somebody that I was in on preseason. I think

1010
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: I have like one gladiator share, so I haven't really

1011
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: focused enough on what he's done this year. It's a

1012
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: five win season a cording to fangraus War fifteen homers,

1013
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: twenty two sol in bases, he's hitting two ninety six.

1014
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: He's a great defender. This is a fantastic season for Garcia.

1015
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: If you guys are looking for any help with these bets, though,

1016
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: take a look at the prop bet cheat sheet. It

1017
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: really does help you narrow down what you should be

1018
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: focusing on on a given day. Bettingpros dot Com slash

1019
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: MLB props, lots of new markets, there lots of fun

1020
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: that you can have, and as the book start to

1021
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: focus more on football, you may start to be able

1022
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: to take advantage a little bit as baseball becomes less

1023
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: of a priority down the stretch. So check out the

1024
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: prop bet cheat sheet today and let's take a look

1025
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: at the home run board and see if we have

1026
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: any movement. And we have a three way tie at

1027
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: the top. This is going to get interesting down the

1028
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: stretch here, Bees, Positive Grouch, and Whips all tied at

1029
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: fifty five, Homers George at fifty four, Fisher King at

1030
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: fifty three rounding out the top five. But that top

1031
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: three is going to get very interesting. We did have

1032
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: a Kyle Schwarber last week. I forget if it was.

1033
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: I believe it was Bees who had Kyle Schwarber to

1034
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: the chagrin of Positive Grouch. But this one is going

1035
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: to be interesting to follow over the final couple weeks

1036
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: of the season. Baba, where are you headed today for

1037
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: your home run call?

1038
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 2: We're going back to the scene of the crime in Colorado.

1039
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 2: Yesterday was Williatomas's birthday, a two year old pitching for

1040
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: the Rockies. Ruined that didn't allow him to get one

1041
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 2: at bat in that game because he couldn't handle giving

1042
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 2: up a home run to a veteran in Rafael Devers.

1043
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 2: So William Domas, who will probably be appealing a suspension

1044
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 2: by the time this comes out, for throwing a haymaker

1045
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: at that petulant child. We'll get at least four at

1046
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 2: bats and Coors Field against Herman Marquez and a horrible

1047
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: Rockies bullpen. Willia Domas has been red hot. The Giants

1048
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 2: are trying to go seventeen straight games with at least

1049
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: one home run, which would be a franchise record on Wednesday,

1050
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: and William Domas will be a part of that to

1051
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 2: get his revenge on that petulant child, not as Kyle Freeland.

1052
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: Don't hold backup, but tell us how you really feel.

1053
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: Oh, this is the cleanest way I could do it

1054
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 2: for this, Joe trusting.

1055
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: You know what, We went to the sheet separately. We

1056
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: both put these names on without discussing with each other.

1057
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: But I put Raphael Devers. Raphael Devers almost almost there

1058
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: on fire. He has been absolutely on fire against Herman

1059
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: Marquez today. You know you mentioned Freelance thirteen percent homer

1060
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: to fly ball for his career. Marquez is fifteen point

1061
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: six percent a guy that I always thought if you

1062
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: got into Cours maybe there'd be something there, but that

1063
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: ship has long sailed at this point. A couple of

1064
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: last questions here before we send you off. Do you

1065
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: think Cabrera's done for the season. I think he probably is,

1066
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: at least from a fantasy relevance point of view, Cabrera

1067
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: is probably not somebody. Edward Cabrera we're talking about here,

1068
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: probably is not somebody that you should be relying on

1069
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: at all. Grisham Jackson for Roman replacement. I think I'm

1070
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: going with Jackson at this point. I mean, just ride

1071
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: the hot they're both the hot hand Papa Jackson has

1072
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: Jackson's been great.

1073
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:07,560
