Speaker 1: Leading off starts right now, Friends, how is everybody doing?
Speaker 1: I am Chris Welsh aka the welsh En, joining me
Speaker 1: today for a double dose of duty. This week, it's
Speaker 1: Casey Bubba in the house. What's going on, my friend
Speaker 1: that much?
Speaker 2: Friendo, another wonderful day, joining you and your pretty face
Speaker 2: to talk some fantasy baseball and keep things going. It's
Speaker 2: been a wild time on the diamond these days.
Speaker 1: Lots of fun it has, by the way, speaking a
Speaker 1: pretty face, I don't know if you notice, we've Bug
Speaker 1: and I were doing the live stream yesterday on the
Speaker 1: il Twitch and he live shaved his face live on
Speaker 1: the thing with a bald He already has a bald head.
Speaker 1: He had a big old beard and he lost a
Speaker 1: thing our wheel and he live shaved his face. Speaking
Speaker 1: of pretty faces, so do not go and tweet him
Speaker 1: about him looking like pat, Tell him about how pretty
Speaker 1: he looks. That's what I say.
Speaker 2: I am going to be texting him immediately when this
Speaker 2: show is over.
Speaker 1: Oh this go Twitch dot tv slash in this league, Bubba.
Speaker 1: You can watch it. You can see it, and it's
Speaker 1: a very very pretty face. But there was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun baseball and Yankees win Yankees win. Josh Donaldson
Speaker 1: hits a walk off Grand Slam to bring him back
Speaker 1: with a win over Tampa Bay. It has been a
Speaker 1: little bit rough in the New York streets as of
Speaker 1: recent a lot of weird, stupid criticism from just idiot
Speaker 1: people that don't understand baseball, and really just the Riggers
Speaker 1: of one hundred and sixty two games. But whatever that
Speaker 1: is out there, Josh Donaldson rallies the Yankees back as
Speaker 1: they keep going. But how about this, That's not the
Speaker 1: New York story. I care about. The New York story
Speaker 1: I care about is Brett Batty. Yes, we talked about
Speaker 1: him yesterday. First thing I could really tell you is
Speaker 1: guy hits ball hard. Last night he hit the ball
Speaker 1: very hard. How about his first swing in the major
Speaker 1: leagues hitting a homer? How beautiful was that, Bubba?
Speaker 2: It was amazing. It was a beautiful left handed swing,
Speaker 2: like the kind you dream about. The dude we knew
Speaker 2: was going to be good, and it was cool to
Speaker 2: see it happen in his family going crazy. All the
Speaker 2: videos you've seen, so yeah, I know he's one of
Speaker 2: the you got to be loving this as a prospect guy,
Speaker 2: and you will probably talk about it later, but I
Speaker 2: was on Tuesday as Langleiers. He's already gone deep, like
Speaker 2: all these prospects are coming up, and it's been a
Speaker 2: beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't know the call. I feel like
Speaker 1: the calls have been pretty decent, though I totally screwed
Speaker 1: myself yesterday. I'm going to shout out to Wonkey for
Speaker 1: giving me some a nice tweet credit about Shane Langeleiers.
Speaker 1: But like I literally went on yesterday thinking the Wonky
Speaker 1: Wednesday bonus was going to be a young guy that
Speaker 1: no one else was picking. And guess who I picked,
Speaker 1: Shane Langeliers. But then I realized it was just anyone
Speaker 1: over twenty seven. So then I changed my things, saying, oh, why,
Speaker 1: by the way, Shane Legleer is probably still gonna hit
Speaker 1: a homer, but I'm gonna take Cojulio Rodriguez, who now
Speaker 1: will probably go oh for it's exactly what happened, ridiculously
Speaker 1: stupid of me, So I took Coolio didn't get it.
Speaker 1: Shanelangliers did hit a bomb. But you know, these big,
Speaker 1: big power guys with huge evs question about the contact.
Speaker 1: There's always the thing they're just you know, they're doing
Speaker 1: it right right now. They're they're making really really good
Speaker 1: contact and they've got to go on. Brett Batty also
Speaker 1: just makes better contact, I think than a guy like
Speaker 1: Shan Lingleiers overall. And I've just we've seen the maturation
Speaker 1: from you know, when you were you were here last
Speaker 1: year in the AFL.
Speaker 2: Right, yes, yes, I saw, I saw Baby he was
Speaker 2: he was, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember you came a little bit late and
Speaker 1: I think I missed you on that. But like you know,
Speaker 1: Baby since then had some contact issues. That's changed and bam,
Speaker 1: big homer. Everyone got to kind of see what this
Speaker 1: guy's all about. And I said, the worst case of worse,
Speaker 1: he's going to hit the ball really hard. And there's
Speaker 1: some homers in there. Go ahead and speculate, you know.
Speaker 1: Bugs and I were actually talking about this Bubba in
Speaker 1: that like the Dodgers announced that Cody Bellinger they're giving
Speaker 1: him like a little rest They're gonna like give him
Speaker 1: like a little rests, which is like a super nice
Speaker 1: way to be like get out, get out, get off
Speaker 1: a bit, you know, get on the bench. You're not
Speaker 1: going shout out tol Wonky again for the great call
Speaker 1: on Gallo which I could never and still don't believe
Speaker 1: it this day that you know he's been six well,
Speaker 1: but you've got Chris Taylor and Gallo playing really well.
Speaker 1: And I've said a couple weeks ago, but I've just
Speaker 1: reiterated it, Like listen, the biggest payoff you can have
Speaker 1: right now is your lack of patience. In fantasy. You
Speaker 1: don't need to be patient anymore. It's almost fantasy playoff time.
Speaker 1: Some are starting next week. I am in a scott
Speaker 1: White League, so your lack of patience is going to
Speaker 1: be your biggest payoff. If you were still holding on
Speaker 1: to Cody Bellinger, Bute bye and I would speculate on
Speaker 1: Brett Batty, I would speculate on Shane Langliers. Why not.
Speaker 1: These guys are really really having a good little run
Speaker 1: early on, and Batty is a guy that just obviously
Speaker 1: makes sense to pick up. I mean, if you had
Speaker 1: to choose, though, Bubba Langaliers are Baty, where are you going?
Speaker 2: I lean langal Leers just for the fact that the
Speaker 2: Mets like, if things get healthy, Baty maybe goes away
Speaker 2: long term. I'd want Baby long term for sure, but
Speaker 2: like the rest of this season, I want langoliers and
Speaker 2: to your patients, sorry to your cutting guys. Thing I
Speaker 2: did that this past week a Cuvado Evaldi and a
Speaker 2: couple other guys in twelve team leagues and knock on
Speaker 2: what it worked out because they all are hurt now,
Speaker 2: but it was just time to the fat as they say.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, and like Angela is saying something that is
Speaker 1: interesting in this thing. Too early to jump on the
Speaker 1: baby train? Well, sure, Like I don't think any prospect
Speaker 1: you should go and drop anything immense for. But I
Speaker 1: would hope everybody you do one of two things at
Speaker 1: this time of the year is I would have unless
Speaker 1: your team is like awesome. By the way, you should
Speaker 1: have one pitching spot that can be a speculative burn
Speaker 1: and churn. And you should also, especially if your offense
Speaker 1: has any type of little struggles, have a churn and
Speaker 1: burn offensive spot that you can go through. I think
Speaker 1: you should try to find a way to pick up
Speaker 1: these guys if they're out there, so we don't need
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, it's too early to jump on
Speaker 1: the train. No, go and do it, because guess what,
Speaker 1: when they struggle, you pick up the next guy. Because
Speaker 1: there are a couple more guys. We talked about Josh
Speaker 1: Young yesterday. That's someone I think that's going to be
Speaker 1: coming up soon. I think it is fifth homer. Yes,
Speaker 1: you had another homer yesterday. He's destroying triple A. No
Speaker 1: reason for him to be there, regardless of the lack
Speaker 1: of pitches. But have a burn insurn because it's not
Speaker 1: uncommon for us to see these young guys be able
Speaker 1: to pull off, you know, three or four weeks that
Speaker 1: are really good without pitchers readjusting to them, and that's
Speaker 1: about all we have left in the season.
Speaker 2: Bubba. Yeah, one hundred percent agree, and especially in those
Speaker 2: shallow or twelve team in lower leagues, like literally you
Speaker 2: can you know for every outfielder that you have on
Speaker 2: your rosters, probly five or six that you can run
Speaker 2: for the next week. Like there's so many guys out there.
Speaker 2: Maximize that bats, maximize the whole thing. So one hundred
Speaker 2: percent with you on that one. Like, don't be in
Speaker 2: love with anybody right now. If there's any sign of weakness,
Speaker 2: move on, run the hot toy, get a new one,
Speaker 2: just keep going.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it treat this time. You're in fantasy baseball
Speaker 1: like college, you're just experimenting you're not taking anything serious.
Speaker 2: You're not your life left and swipe right, slipe left
Speaker 2: and swipe fight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not looking for a long term ad. You're
Speaker 1: just looking for like a couple of short terms a week.
Speaker 1: That's what you're doing, you know what I.
Speaker 2: Mean, Long balls and call it good.
Speaker 1: Hey, maybe that's what you gotta do. Kraig Kimberle picked
Speaker 1: up a save to preserve Tony Gonsolin's fifteenth win of
Speaker 1: the year. So I wanted to talk about this. I
Speaker 1: was a leader of kind of the Tony Gonsoon regression
Speaker 1: and he had a bump because that, by the way,
Speaker 1: still to this day he has one of the wildest
Speaker 1: swings between ERA and x FIP. It's like a two
Speaker 1: ERA and a three seven x FIP, which still makes
Speaker 1: him good. And my point has always been Gonsolin is
Speaker 1: a good pitcher. It's just this realm of where he's
Speaker 1: at really doesn't feel and the underlining stats don't really
Speaker 1: seem to don't seem to back up that there's going
Speaker 1: to be sustainable. Well, in July it started to bump
Speaker 1: a little bit. He had five starts in July. Three
Speaker 1: of those had three or more earned runs in there,
Speaker 1: there were a couple blow ups that were back to
Speaker 1: back and everyone was like, oh, here we go, here
Speaker 1: we go. In August, it's just turned right back around, Bubba.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy outside of that bump. I'm looking here.
Speaker 1: How many starts this year do you think he's given
Speaker 1: up more than three earned runs?
Speaker 2: I'm assuming it's just that bump, like two or three.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's those two. The entire season, he's only given
Speaker 1: up one earned run in the month of August. Strikeouts
Speaker 1: are going, he's gone over six in a couple of
Speaker 1: last ones. He's got fifteen wins. It's still all crazy.
Speaker 1: He is holding I didn't look at the leaderboard. It's
Speaker 1: still got to be the league's biggest differential. He's holding
Speaker 1: batter still like a two hundred babbob right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's doing stuff that feels like it's got to adjust.
Speaker 1: And like I said, when you look at the xtip,
Speaker 1: it still seems like it would blow up. But it's
Speaker 1: not happening. And this is what happens, and this is
Speaker 1: why baseball is so awesome and fun. You can look
Speaker 1: at all the underlining things that say this will happen,
Speaker 1: and then it just doesn't. And Tony Gonsolin continues to
Speaker 1: be one of the most valuable pitchers out there. And
Speaker 1: I guess at this point, really the only question is
Speaker 1: is you can't even there's no selling or anything like that.
Speaker 1: But you know, are you comfortable the rest of the
Speaker 1: way through with these big You know he's had that
Speaker 1: little bump. You see the underlying stats that feel like
Speaker 1: it should break apart, but it ain't. It ain't how
Speaker 1: comfortable you as far as a status with Tony Gonsolin,
Speaker 1: Now it's real too, he's.
Speaker 2: Locked in well real, No, there should be some regression
Speaker 2: like the bab it's insane. You mentioned the ex fips
Speaker 2: and all the underlying metrics that will point to er regression.
Speaker 2: But he's still very good, Like three seven We take
Speaker 2: that all the all the time, so especially on a
Speaker 2: Dodger seament scores runs, it's still going to get wins.
Speaker 2: So he's for real. Like I liked him coming into
Speaker 2: the year, I was wondering how many innings he looks
Speaker 2: like he's good to go. But there will be a
Speaker 2: regression at some point in time, but I don't know
Speaker 2: if it'll be this year because he's feeling it again
Speaker 2: and I'm just gonna keep rolling out there time like
Speaker 2: he did against the Padres with Soto and company a
Speaker 2: few weeks ago, and he just dealt So I'm not
Speaker 2: too worried about it right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just look into my only biggest change and
Speaker 1: sometimes how they how they designate these pitches makes you
Speaker 1: think something different. But one of the biggest changes you
Speaker 1: see with him is the uptick in his curveball usage.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you can see like cutters and sliders get
Speaker 1: mixed in by different sites, sometimes even curves and sliders,
Speaker 1: but it shows like a four percent downtick on his
Speaker 1: slider usage, a five percent on his fastball, and it
Speaker 1: goes to the split finger and curveball like those have
Speaker 1: ten and the uptick almost four percent on the curve
Speaker 1: ball split finger around six percent, and then you're seeing
Speaker 1: just wild results with big wins, great offensive support behind him,
Speaker 1: and sometimes luck be the pitcher tonight. And that's what's
Speaker 1: happening with Tony Gonsolin. Fifteen wins and it has just
Speaker 1: not cooled down. The other headline show you to Tany
Speaker 1: went four to five with a homer triple and four RBIs,
Speaker 1: but the Angels lost because of course Boba that's what
Speaker 1: they do. It's the best thing that they're at. Actually,
Speaker 1: their best stat this year is just continuously losing when
Speaker 1: they put up weird, awesome numbers by great players.
Speaker 2: Let's let's real quick. I'm gonna divert something. I know
Speaker 2: we have a schedule, but let's just be realistic here,
Speaker 2: because we are always mad that Trout never gets to
Speaker 2: be in the postseason show. Hay's gonna be a free
Speaker 2: agent pretty soon. He seems like a super nice guy.
Speaker 2: Please tell me he doesn't sign with the Angels like
Speaker 2: he needs to be on the postseason. He needs to
Speaker 2: be in October under the lights. We need show.
Speaker 1: Hey, Oh I don't, I don't. I can't imagine the
Speaker 1: scenario where he returns.
Speaker 2: I hopefully, but it just feels like there's something there though.
Speaker 2: It just feels like I don't know. I just hope
Speaker 2: all powers to be it does not happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, if the Angels could do something, it's just
Speaker 1: they put themselves in a hole. They you know, they
Speaker 1: had the Cynegard stuff, They've got the Anthony Rendone contract.
Speaker 1: You would hope not if they could make a big
Speaker 1: swing and change, but none of their prospects work their
Speaker 1: development is silly. I just don't know how a player,
Speaker 1: you know, with the limited time they have in his
Speaker 1: skill set, could go and look and be like, I
Speaker 1: have to return here. I mean, you'd rather go you
Speaker 1: can say, in your same town and go play with
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. That makes way more sense.
Speaker 2: Well, Wonky, says Dodgers or Yankees. I've already heard rumors
Speaker 2: they like San Francisco because of the Asian culture.
Speaker 1: There, which would make me over the moon, can you.
Speaker 2: I mean, baba, it'd be amazing, Baba, It's not gonna.
Speaker 1: Be the Angels and Mike Trout to go play with
Speaker 1: that powerhouse of Brandon Belton, Brandon Crawford.
Speaker 2: A prospect guy. We know what it's gonna be. For
Speaker 2: the long term deal, It's not gonna be Brandon Brandon Crawford.
Speaker 2: Let's be real. Look at Joey Bart. The dude's hitting
Speaker 2: all of a sudden. Amazing. Let a kid get used
Speaker 2: to the bigs. What happens? What happens.
Speaker 1: Lusiano has been hurt, He's all right, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've lived in both. I've lived in
Speaker 1: l A and I've lived in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Maybe he goes to he's just gonna stay in the
Speaker 2: West Coast.
Speaker 1: I think it's the Dodgers. I agree with, won't Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: please please no, please no, I do on it, but
Speaker 1: I think it's one hundred percent of the Dodgers. They'll
Speaker 1: drop some money and they'll bring him in and he
Speaker 1: can stay in his house and he can be on
Speaker 1: a team that wins and that knows how to manage
Speaker 1: prospects players, wins everything. Not the Angels, That's not them,
Speaker 1: Mike Trout though, it should be back pretty soon. On
Speaker 1: the injury front, Max Freed after that horrible bonk the
Speaker 1: other day, the concussion type hit when he was throwing,
Speaker 1: is going to be activated and start tonight against Jacob
Speaker 1: de Grom. So welcome back to that's gonna be That's
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun matchup. Hey, here's Jacob da Grom.
Speaker 1: By the way, here's the tease. Wait until one of
Speaker 1: the bets were's. I have a bet for you that
Speaker 1: we have not seen all season, and it has to
Speaker 1: do with Jacob d Grom. You can probably imagine what
Speaker 1: it's going to look like here in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: Tony Russas stated that Luis Robert received a quarterzon and
Speaker 1: Jay and his wrist after feeling pain falling a swing
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, perpetually injured.
Speaker 2: But they won't put him on the il. They said,
Speaker 2: they gave him a shot, they won't put him on
Speaker 2: the al. What are we doing? What are we doing
Speaker 2: to us?
Speaker 1: That one of those amazing moments all season. You see
Speaker 1: the fan telling LaRussa to pinch hit at him angle
Speaker 1: and then he woke up and went over and did it. Dude,
Speaker 1: I've been I was telling you guys, not that anyone
Speaker 1: needed it, but anyone listening. You remember in the March
Speaker 1: episodes when I was joining Joe and I was out
Speaker 1: here in spring training, and I was telling you guys,
Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, I don't know what's going on, Tony.
Speaker 1: The russ is not doing anything here. He's he literally
Speaker 1: while practices were going on, you kind of have access here.
Speaker 1: There's two fields. You had Jim Tom over here working
Speaker 1: with the hitters. You got I remember the other coaches
Speaker 1: over here, they're doing drills.
Speaker 2: Tony.
Speaker 1: That Russa was never actually standing there watching or coaching
Speaker 1: or managing or doing anything. He drove around his cart
Speaker 1: a whole bunch and he was just talking to people.
Speaker 1: He was just talking to people. He's like a manager
Speaker 1: mascot than anything else. He's so unbelievably Yeah, he's amazing.
Speaker 1: Ty Miley left his start early and undergoing, and Mry
Speaker 1: on his right shoulder fastball was averaging eighty nine versus
Speaker 1: his regular ninety three, so something might not be good
Speaker 1: in the waters. And then Drake's scubl underwent successful surgery
Speaker 1: to repair the flexor tendon in his left elbow. That
Speaker 1: have you worried about him next year at all?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Anytime you talk about the main joints in parts
Speaker 2: of your body that require you to throw a baseball,
Speaker 2: I have to see things. I'm a hesitant for sure.
Speaker 1: Who are you more worried about Drake's scuble and the
Speaker 1: flexor issue or the elbow surgery for Walker Buehler?
Speaker 2: Well, I was out on Bueller into the season to
Speaker 2: begin with, But I'd probably say Bueller right now because
Speaker 2: it's so vague. It sounds like Tommy John surgery, but
Speaker 2: it's not Tommy John surgery. So I don't know what's
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 1: And I don't like elbow stuff. I don't like those
Speaker 1: elbow ones. Here's a fun one from Sarah Langs slangs
Speaker 1: on Sports Guardians in the eighth This was last night,
Speaker 1: struck out three times, then proceeded to score six times.
Speaker 1: It was the first in at least the Expansion era
Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty one that a team scored six plus
Speaker 1: runs in an inning after striking out three times. This
Speaker 1: is the alias. So what happened was Andrew Chaffin. I
Speaker 1: was just about to say his nickname, but probably I
Speaker 1: won't say the nickname I use for him on the show.
Speaker 1: Andrew Chaffin struck out three batters in the inning. However,
Speaker 1: the third strikeout bounced off the backstop and then the
Speaker 1: Guardians proceeded to just annihilate. And that's one of those
Speaker 1: you look back on and you go, woof, woof Guardians.
Speaker 1: They do their business.
Speaker 2: Happens, it happens a good thing. They're not gonna make
Speaker 2: the playoffs, so we don't want worry about it.
Speaker 1: Apparely not. I have a trivia question for you, and
Speaker 1: it has to do with our friend Brett Batty. Brett
Speaker 1: Batty became the fifth Mets player to homer in his
Speaker 1: first career at bat But ladies and gentlemen, who is
Speaker 1: the last to do it. Who's the last to do it?
Speaker 1: And I'm going to give you a hint. It is
Speaker 1: in the two thousands. In the two thousands, so one
Speaker 1: more time, Brett Baty became the first Mets player to
Speaker 1: homer in his first career at bat Who was the
Speaker 1: last to do it? It was in two thousands. I
Speaker 1: always think about these I've told the story gajillion times.
Speaker 1: But I worked in sports radio in the early two thousands,
Speaker 1: and at one time I was like just this engineer
Speaker 1: and I would do remote broadcasts and it was like
Speaker 1: the big sports show here in Phoenix's show Gamebo and
Speaker 1: Ash and I loved prospects back then. And I remember
Speaker 1: on the broadcast Carlos Quinton was getting his call up
Speaker 1: and I had told the guy his name was Mark Asher.
Speaker 1: I was like, Carlos Quinton is hitting a homer tonight
Speaker 1: in his first game. And he looked at me and
Speaker 1: he was like, come on, I'm like, dude, bet me,
Speaker 1: bet me, And he did and he hit the homer
Speaker 1: and I just walked in with the biggest like oh
Speaker 1: like when I walked in, and he had to give
Speaker 1: me credit on air for it. And I always think
Speaker 1: about those moments when you call him in first at bats.
Speaker 1: That's very selfish of mine. David Wright was a guest.
Speaker 1: That is incorrect because remember this is in two thousand, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which I guess David I probably would have been there
Speaker 1: but for the last rookie to do it, because there's
Speaker 1: only five in Mets history and it's a little bit
Speaker 1: of his obscure name. We'll do some stats and then
Speaker 1: we'll come back to it. See if anybody has any guesses.
Speaker 1: Stat hero Shoho Tani four for five with a bomb,
Speaker 1: four RBI's offensively does it? Pitching? Does it?
Speaker 2: Yet?
Speaker 1: He's you know, four or five to one for MVP.
Speaker 1: Sean Murphy had two homers, continues to hit for the A's.
Speaker 1: A's have great catchers. They don't got anything else. They
Speaker 1: got Sean Murphy and Shay Lengeliers. Jolie Marte had two homers.
Speaker 1: Cal Rally two homers, I believe. But is this correct?
Speaker 1: Doesn't Kyle Rally lead or is tied for the most
Speaker 1: homers by catchers this year?
Speaker 2: I would like that. I would like to see your
Speaker 2: say you're correct, he's got like seventeen or something. He's
Speaker 2: been amazing this season. While you're talking, I can look
Speaker 2: it up. But he's been absolutely a godsend when it
Speaker 2: comes to the catcher's position.
Speaker 1: Well, let's see, I think I'm underqualified. Will Smith and
Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras both have I'm gonna just lower this on here.
Speaker 1: They both have seven teen, and I if Kyle Rally
Speaker 1: has seventeen, that would have him tied.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is correct.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Kyle Rally took the.
Speaker 2: Lead last year.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He leads Major League Baseball all catchers with
Speaker 1: eighteen homers. Here's a fun fact as well. He leads
Speaker 1: all catchers in homers, yet the next four are all
Speaker 1: over three hundred played appearances.
Speaker 2: He is not.
Speaker 1: He has done it in eighty six games. The only
Speaker 1: person that even competes on that range is Salvador Perez,
Speaker 1: who has seventeen and seventy seven games. Rally has eighty
Speaker 1: six in eighteen games, wild numbers, thirty percent k rate
Speaker 1: and only hitting two eight. It's very Mike Zanino of him.
Speaker 2: Look at William Contras in twenty fewer games, only two
Speaker 2: fewer home runs. Yeah, that's a's that's.
Speaker 1: A wild number. Hassan Kim three for four. Jake Cronaworth
Speaker 1: had a homer, two for four with four RBIs Alex
Speaker 1: Radugo perfect three for three, Brian Reynolds. We've spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time talking about him on the backtick, on
Speaker 1: how good he's been recently two for four with a homer,
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker had a homer, and JD. Davis is irrelevant.
Speaker 2: Off light handed pitcher, off a right handed pitcher. Everybody,
Speaker 2: it happened, not special, as Joe would say.
Speaker 1: The correct answer right here was Mike jay You had
Speaker 1: to have looked this up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the dates and everything right there, I.
Speaker 1: Think, I mean that's not yeah, that's a look up.
Speaker 1: So no, no points awarded. But yes, it was two
Speaker 1: thousand and five Mike Jacobs. And then I guess kas
Speaker 1: Matsui by the clear copy and paste was the two
Speaker 1: thousand and four, but I guess it was Mike Jacobs.
Speaker 1: Remember big powered Mike Jacobs. He was a last to
Speaker 1: do it for the UH, for the Mets.
Speaker 2: So I appreciate the benniog Bayani shout out though from
Speaker 2: from Kalio.
Speaker 1: That was good throwback throwback. On the pitching side, we
Speaker 1: talked about Gonsolin seven innings, eight strikeouts, gave up only
Speaker 1: two hits was awesome. Ross Strippling struck out seven and
Speaker 1: six and one third. Rangers swore As with a rare
Speaker 1: good performance seven and eight strikeouts, Nick Lodolo eight K,
Speaker 1: seven strikeouts, five hits. Lodolo is almost becoming money on
Speaker 1: those K props right now. They're just trying to catch up.
Speaker 1: Oh that was on cebe Yes, Yeah, I mean that was.
Speaker 1: It's a pretty common trivia question, so actually that's probably
Speaker 1: not a surprise. It was on CBS that they were
Speaker 1: talking about that and Carlos rd on eleven strikeouts and
Speaker 1: six innings on the good side, the bad side for hitters,
Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon four k's to go along with Matt Olson
Speaker 1: who both went over four Randy Rosarina, j t Romuto,
Speaker 1: Austin Hayes and Connor Joe all over with three strikeouts.
Speaker 1: On the pitching side, Pablo Lopez lit up four and
Speaker 1: two thirds, six earned runs, three walks, two strikeouts. Jacob
Speaker 1: to Rizzy wasn't this Wonkey's thing? I think Wonkey said
Speaker 1: yesterday even if the K marker was one, she wouldn't
Speaker 1: take it. Jacob to Rizzy gave up three homers, five
Speaker 1: earned runs, TOOKI des sant and gave up five and
Speaker 1: Mike Clevenger did not do so well. Jacob to Rizzy Bubba.
Speaker 2: Not really bad. Yeah, I just laugh. And the team's
Speaker 2: trade for him and signed him. I'm like, you guys
Speaker 2: know who he is, Like Danny Green knows exactly who
Speaker 2: he is. We should two.
Speaker 1: He's like a burn Insurn player. Everyone's just passing around.
Speaker 1: What was it the other day? I just saw who,
Speaker 1: God dang it, who is the player? They had this
Speaker 1: big marker and I'm completely drawn a blank. It was
Speaker 1: like the person who's been traded the most on teams.
Speaker 1: It was just a tweet the other day and when
Speaker 1: they've had all the different jerseys and it was.
Speaker 2: It was like the career he had was he traded?
Speaker 1: Feels like that. He kind of feels like he just
Speaker 1: gets passed around here all right? On the home run calls,
Speaker 1: the small was only twenty seven?
Speaker 2: What is this?
Speaker 1: Smalls was? Oh, Smalls was the only twenty seven club winner.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize what that said because he called Brett
Speaker 1: Batty so the under twenty seven marker for yesterday, which
Speaker 1: they had to be under twenty seven to get double points,
Speaker 1: and Smalls was the only one to do it with
Speaker 1: Brett Baidy. I'd have been number two if I would
Speaker 1: have stuck with my stupid je Langlear's pick, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: The board did not have much change any As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, at the top high cub he is
Speaker 1: still in the lead at forty four, Dee Blum at
Speaker 1: forty three, Go cards, Mike Mayor and Terry at forty one.
Speaker 1: So only five people in the forties is a home
Speaker 1: run race? Gets a little bit tighter? And wait, we
Speaker 1: also are going to give you a stat with Bubba
Speaker 1: here on Bubba's home run calls when we get to
Speaker 1: the home run call here in just a second. But
Speaker 1: let's check out our friends over at bet MGM. If
Speaker 1: you're looking to make a bet, sign up with them today,
Speaker 1: use a promo code leading off and get a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars risk free bet. Why would you not do that?
Speaker 1: Do it today on the app, on the website leading
Speaker 1: off the King of Sports Bets without my Crown or
Speaker 1: anything like that. Bubba, I've got four bets for you,
Speaker 1: and as always, I've got the top total base bet
Speaker 1: that the Betting pros MLB prop cheat sheet has generated.
Speaker 1: But then I've got the top plus money one and
Speaker 1: then the same thing on strikeouts their number one algorithm
Speaker 1: strikeout prop and then the top plus money strikeout. So
Speaker 1: what we have. The best total based marker for them
Speaker 1: on DraftKings is Juan Soto, who you only need one
Speaker 1: total base today, but it's juiced at minus one eighty,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to figure out how to make
Speaker 1: that work for yourself. The best plus money total base
Speaker 1: bet Alex Bregman one twenty plus one for one and
Speaker 1: a half over on the Sugar House for Alex Bregman
Speaker 1: versus the White Sox today on the strikeouts, Jacob de Gram,
Speaker 1: there is your best best bet, and listen to this.
Speaker 1: Nine and a half for the under is the bet.
Speaker 1: And wait for this. I not only have I not
Speaker 1: seen nine and a half on anything we've done this year.
Speaker 1: You only get minus one forty three if you pick
Speaker 1: the under on nine and a half. It is I mean,
Speaker 1: they are, they're baiting you in for the Jacob de
Speaker 1: Gram one. And then lastly, Jose Briells plus one oh
Speaker 1: five for over four and a half strikeouts versus New
Speaker 1: York so bub I gave you a lot there, Sodo
Speaker 1: and de Grom are juiced up, Bregman and Brios are
Speaker 1: plus money. What do you like out of these?
Speaker 2: Well, I love the Sodo one. It is pretty juicy,
Speaker 2: as you said, so you gotta parlay it with something
Speaker 2: most likely, But give me the Bragman one. Bregman's been
Speaker 2: hitting really well, Giliita's been getting lit up this year,
Speaker 2: especially by right handed hitters. I think Bragman's a very
Speaker 2: intriguing one of plus money. Yeah, I like the Bregman one.
Speaker 2: I like the kind of like the Brios.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm so in namored with the Jacob de
Speaker 1: Grom one where it's like they had to go I
Speaker 1: mean nine and a half. But you don't blame them
Speaker 1: because he has been absolute, absolute money.
Speaker 2: He has twelve and ten k's in each of his
Speaker 2: last two starts.
Speaker 1: And it's because it's Atlanta. Atlanta is the big strikeout marker.
Speaker 1: So this is one where it's just like I don't
Speaker 1: even know what to do. Like I mean, honestly, if
Speaker 1: I were taking a bet, I'm taking the over. There's
Speaker 1: no way I'm taking the under on it.
Speaker 2: Take the plus money with.
Speaker 1: Especially minus one forty three to go under nine and
Speaker 1: a half. If you gave me plus money, you might
Speaker 1: bait me into it. There's no way against Atlanta, I'm
Speaker 1: taking the under even if it's nine and a half.
Speaker 1: But I don't think I'm making this bet. It's just
Speaker 1: a wild, just wild number. At nine and a half.
Speaker 1: It really caught my eyes. So you like Bregman, I
Speaker 1: probably I think I would go Bregman too, That's probably
Speaker 1: my number one. And then honestly it would be the
Speaker 1: inverse of going over on Jacob de Grom, which I
Speaker 1: don't think i'd want to play around with that over
Speaker 1: on the DFS slate side, pull some FanDuel pitching numbers
Speaker 1: and a couple stack things and we'll get your take.
Speaker 1: Bubba across the board. Jacob de Gram is twelve thousand
Speaker 1: on FanDuel today. You Darvish kind of like Adam Wade
Speaker 1: right against Colorado. I've been doing that, I guess all
Speaker 1: week at nine to nine, and Frankie montoss is nine
Speaker 1: to four, and then just throwing out because I'll let
Speaker 1: you talk on both of those. As far as implied
Speaker 1: run totals, the only team I saw today with over
Speaker 1: five projected with San Diego, So you can take that
Speaker 1: for what it is, but I think you should also
Speaker 1: look at Texas. Simeon leading off on Fandel is only
Speaker 1: two four, and for Saint Louis would be another team.
Speaker 1: I might look at Stacks large. New Bar was two six,
Speaker 1: So even though the imply to San Diego, Texas and
Speaker 1: Saint Louis would be two teams, I look out. What
Speaker 1: do you think on the pitching side and the hitting side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the early action Gallon and wayno kind of
Speaker 2: my two top options. They're not paying a lot of money,
Speaker 2: evening to Grom for sure. If you want a cheapy JT.
Speaker 2: Brubaker against the Red Sox, not a lot of lefties
Speaker 2: in that lineup against him, but it's not pretty stacking
Speaker 2: it up wise though early on, I love the Cardinals
Speaker 2: and the Rangers, as you mentioned, Orioles are a little
Speaker 2: sneaky too, But you mentioned Newbar at two six on
Speaker 2: Families twenty four hundred on DK even cheaper, and then
Speaker 2: for the even mean it's a little a little murkier
Speaker 2: in that situation, but you have a Carlos Hernandez versus Patino,
Speaker 2: but more importantly you have Annibal Sanchez, So those are
Speaker 2: be the three games I look to attack with Tampa Bay,
Speaker 2: Kansas City, and San Diego.
Speaker 1: I love all the de Gram love, and here JP
Speaker 1: all hail de Gram. Brian said, I think to Grom
Speaker 1: could strike out ten braves of his eyes closed. I
Speaker 1: think that ten strikeouts could hit in the fourth and
Speaker 1: more than I'm talking about it. It's such a wildly
Speaker 1: big number. I would actually talking into it. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: myself into amorrow, and there's no way I'm playing that.
Speaker 1: I don't blame the algorithm for having the under because
Speaker 1: I don't know how often if I've ever seen any
Speaker 1: sites algorithm project over ten. So I don't blame this.
Speaker 1: This is the uh you know, this is these are
Speaker 1: the books just readjusting, regardless of the own algorithm has.
Speaker 1: But I think you can have this by the tenth
Speaker 1: I mean, and yes, exactly what I'm saying, like or
Speaker 1: the fourth. I'm sorry, I think you have the ten
Speaker 1: by the fourth. De Gram is nasty. The brave strikeout.
Speaker 1: I don't know. This one feels very very good. Home
Speaker 1: run calls, Bubba. We found out, Bubba this season is
Speaker 1: three for four. You have you have a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure now because you have been money on the home
Speaker 1: run calls. Today. The tight race at the top continues
Speaker 1: on I just screwed myself out of a two homer
Speaker 1: push yesterday because I overthought it. Bubba, what do you got?
Speaker 1: Who do you got today?
Speaker 2: On the home run call, I'm going with someone with
Speaker 2: a nine game hitting streak, five home runs over that stretch,
Speaker 2: with a sub six percent strikeout rate, And if you
Speaker 2: like some Italian food, I'm going Vinnie Pascantino versus Luis Patino,
Speaker 2: who loves getting smacked around by left handed hitters. Give
Speaker 2: me some Vinnie P. Let's have some fun with that
Speaker 2: six homer in ten days for him?
Speaker 1: Can you pick VINNP on Tuesday? Who did you pick
Speaker 1: on Tuesday?
Speaker 2: On Tuesday? I had you?
Speaker 1: Did have Fanomo? I think it was I think it
Speaker 1: was Wonky that had Vinnie P.
Speaker 2: Early in the year.
Speaker 1: God, Vinnie has really settled in by the.
Speaker 2: Way he's like, it's just the perfect I mentioned bart Vinnie.
Speaker 2: So many guys. Let the young kids get comfortable. Just
Speaker 2: let them get comfortable. There's a talent for a reason.
Speaker 2: Let them go.
Speaker 1: That's why you don't take a little looky look over
Speaker 1: at Josh Young when he comes in. Let the young
Speaker 1: guys play let the dogs eat. We got a BVP player,
Speaker 1: the number one, Mike Mayor Manny Machado. If you're looking
Speaker 1: at BVP, he has the most homers versus any hitter
Speaker 1: on a pitcher. For today, Wonky's got Anthony Rizzo. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go back to Goldie. Goldie against Colorado is always
Speaker 1: a play I like.
Speaker 2: I think it's.
Speaker 1: Anthony Sinzitela, and I like Goldie in this matchup. And
Speaker 1: then doctor Glenn gave my my hosting stat line as
Speaker 1: a starter today six and one third. I gave up
Speaker 1: one and run eight strikeouts In my performance, I was
Speaker 1: dominant yesterday. It was a de gram. I was at
Speaker 1: al Kintara like performance. This feels very What does this
Speaker 1: line look like? This is Dylan Ce, This is Tony
Speaker 1: Gonsolin line. Six and one thirds one and run eight strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Pretty good, not too bad. I'll take that for my performance.
Speaker 1: We do need to go back and track how I've
Speaker 1: been doing. What is my era? What is my k
Speaker 1: per nine? As far as a host goes, We've been
Speaker 1: a lot better this week than we were last week.
Speaker 1: Bubba you as well, my friend. Don't you have a
Speaker 1: bench of Bubba coming up? Tonight.
Speaker 2: If Bubb and the Bloom tonight, we're recapping the degeneracy
Speaker 2: that is our first twenty twenty three NFBC Draft Champions
Speaker 2: Draft that fifteen of us did the first seven rounds
Speaker 2: last night on a Zoom call, So we are going
Speaker 2: to recap that. When Bloom and I actually drafted fifth
Speaker 2: and sixth in that draft, it was highly entertaining.
Speaker 1: J Rod went fourth overall. Woah, I like it. September
Speaker 1: is usually in my world, like mid September is usually
Speaker 1: like draft to next year type of stuff. But I'm
Speaker 1: always interested where those go. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: too surprised about that. I I was gonna take him fifth.
Speaker 1: I was so mad when he went forth. I was like,
Speaker 1: I wanted him to fall to me. Yeah, Dynasty, I
Speaker 1: have him fifth, like overall or right, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it's fifth overall in Dynasty as far as redraft goes,
Speaker 1: I hadn't really thought if I would take him top five,
Speaker 1: but I think he's in that, especially with guys like
Speaker 1: Soto and Tatis probably coming off of that. You know
Speaker 1: another legit one. Oh, let me ask you this real quick.
Speaker 2: Is the tease for it?
Speaker 1: Did Acuna go before.
Speaker 2: Kuna went sixth. Yeah, oh no, that's why it's gonna
Speaker 2: be some fun discussions on the show tonight. I and
Speaker 2: we do it live like this, so if you guys
Speaker 2: want to hop in and ask questions, it's it's very
Speaker 2: nice to look at that board.
Speaker 1: Wonky says, who we're one and three, tune in tonight.
Speaker 1: Go into it in tonight.
Speaker 2: Can't give away all the secrets, Wonky, come on be.
Speaker 1: The intric on Twitter. Follow him, check it out. I
Speaker 1: think you always have the tweet out for the live stream.
