1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the cycle.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: I am Ryan Wormley, back from vacation, and of course

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: now Mike Mayer is on vacation. We knew this was

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: coming in the month of June. I was out the

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. Now I'm finally back, and Mayor

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: couldn't stand to do a show with me, so he

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: had to leave the country and go on vacation. So

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: I had to find a guest in my own and

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: I got on somebody who we have talked about bringing on.

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Since the beginning of the show at the beginning of

11
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: the season.

12
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 3: So this is the perfect opportunity, and that is Scott

13
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: Bogman Boggs.

14
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: We of course do the Dynasty show together.

15
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: We've done some other football shows together on Fantasy Pros.

16
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: I believe this is our first time talking baseball together.

17
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 3: Am I forgetting anything? I don't think so. I think

18
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: this is our first time talking baseball. Happy to be here,

19
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me. Sorry everyone to disappoint you

20
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: that I'm not Mayor, but I will do my best

21
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: to replace him in the aggregate.

22
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: Like moneyball, Yeah, there is no replacing Mayor, but we

23
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: could recreate him in the aggregate. That's right with Bogman

24
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: and with Bogmin's cat who nobody can see because this

25
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: is not on.

26
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: We both get on base. So that's the important part.

27
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: Yes, the relief in Bogman's face when I told him

28
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: this was audio only and he could let his hair

29
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 3: down and not have to get all called up for

30
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: the show was no collared shirts today exactly.

31
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,919
Speaker 2: This is, of course, for those who are maybe listening

32
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: for the first time, our weekly fantasy baseball podcast here

33
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: with Fantasy Pros. Of course, leading off is still there

34
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: every day, so you can check out Welsh and Joey

35
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: p and occasionally Bogmin filling in there.

36
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: I've filled in on there before. You could check that

37
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: out daily.

38
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: Still, this is our weekly show here where we kind

39
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: of take a step back and maybe the larger, more

40
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: macro level of view about some stuff we might hit on,

41
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: you know, trending topics that are you know, kind of

42
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 3: urgent and more time sensitive, but also some bigger picture

43
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: stuff just kind of whatever we feel like talking about.

44
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: So it'll be boggsing myself today.

45
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: Just want to quickly note for everyone, if you like

46
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: this content, the best freeway to show your support and

47
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: encourage more content like this is to leave a positive

48
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: review at fantasypros dot com slash MLB review. All right,

49
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: let's jump in surrounding the bases. We've got four top

50
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: who want to talk about today, and the first one

51
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: I wanted to talk about is Stephen Kwan. And the

52
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: way I phrased it in the show sheet is can

53
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: he challenged for a four hundred batting average this season?

54
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: Realistically? The answer to that is very likely no.

55
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: So that's maybe a bit hyperbolic, a bit tongue in cheek,

56
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: but in general, he has been playing so well. He

57
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: missed a little bit of time, but he's been playing

58
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: so well. His batting average, I think it's like three

59
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: ninety six the last time I looked. I'm actually not

60
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: sure exactly, Yes, three ninety six right now here as

61
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: you record on Friday. And a lot of the bad

62
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: of ball data is really like, you know, in line

63
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: with that. You know, obviously, the exit velocity type numbers

64
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: are not there for Kwan. He's not, you know, necessarily

65
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: a power hitter.

66
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: But the expected batting average hundred percentile, expected wOBA ninety

67
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: second percentile, sweet spot percentage ninety eighth percentile.

68
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's all very very strong. So I really

69
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: just wanted to bring up and kind of ask you

70
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: what your opinion is on Kwan. I didn't I don't

71
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: really have him in a lot of leagues this year.

72
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: He wasn't somebody I was like aggressively targeting. But boy,

73
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: he's been good. Yeah, Kuan has been great, and I

74
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: have him in a couple of spots. I think he

75
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: was being a little bit overlow this season. You know,

76
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: a dude that has dealt with some injuries. Of course,

77
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: Kenny hit four hundred worm, I mean, yeah, it's probably

78
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: a little bit hyperbolic since Tony Gwynn was the last

79
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: one to like really challenge in ninety four when he

80
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: hit three ninety four. I'm looking at there's an article

81
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: on a MLB dot com that has a lot.

82
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: Of this info. George Brett hit three ninety in nineteen eighty.

83
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 3: Ted Williams almost did it in fifty seven again when

84
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: he hit three eighty eight. Rock Crew hit three eighty eight.

85
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna guess that he hits some you know,

86
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: rough patch at some point here and it just gets

87
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: him to the point where it drags him well below

88
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: four hundred and he just can't get back up there.

89
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: So good player, scoring a lot of runs. I mean,

90
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: this Guardian's team has been incredible. Did you see the

91
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: White Sox already like twenty eight games out of first

92
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: in the Central. It's absurd because the Guardians won't stop

93
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: winning games. It is nuts. So Kwan is a big

94
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: benefit sharing of that. And as long as he's healthy,

95
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: he's a very good player. So you know, he can

96
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: be a little empty ish, but if he's getting swipes too.

97
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: With the batting average and the runs, that's what you want.

98
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: He's a really good three category guy.

99
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean looking just you know, in the last

100
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: couple of seasons, like he was under three hundred in

101
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: each of the last two years he was at two

102
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: ninety eight and twenty twenty two to sixty eight and

103
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. He averaged twenty steals per season in

104
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: those two years. Of course, And like you said, the

105
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: Guardians are just playing. The Guardians are playing a lot

106
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: better than I expected. I was not particularly in on

107
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: this team coming into the season. I wasn't really in

108
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: on most of the al Central, to be quite honest

109
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: with you. Yeah, but the Guardians have been just a

110
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: lot more impressive than I really expect.

111
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: I don't think I realized he only had three solo

112
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: basis this year, so yeah, not a little low running

113
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 3: as much, and always there's been some injury stuff, but

114
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: he's gotten over two hundred played appearances. You would think

115
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: a guy who's you know, especially in this era of

116
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: how much you know, easier it is to steal and

117
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: just how prevalent it's become around the league the ops.

118
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: Being over a thousand for a guy only as five

119
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: homers is just like wildly impressive to me as well.

120
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: You know, you were mentioning some of the kind of

121
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: the historic guys who have maybe flirted with batting four hundred.

122
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: He didn't get close to four hundred.

123
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: But the recent guy is Luis Arrayes, you know, obviously

124
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: getting to three fifty four in twenty twenty three. Do

125
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: you think Kwan can finish the season if he stays

126
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: hot over three fifty or do you think like it'll

127
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 2: be back more in that kind of like three twenty

128
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: three thirty range that like a league leader in batting

129
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: average usually is around right now.

130
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think three fifty is doable for Kwan,

131
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: especially since you know we're in the middle of June.

132
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did. I don't know.

133
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: He missed some time with a hamstring. That's probably why

134
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: he hasn't been running as much, of course, But I

135
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 3: three fifty, three fifty I think is absolutely doable. Do

136
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 3: I think he If I'm betting, I would say again,

137
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: probably not. That's a tough it's a tough marker to

138
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: hit three p fifty. But he can absolutely do that,

139
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: especially with way he's been hitting this year, And I don't.

140
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: You can't expect it. You you know, three thirty with

141
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: what he's doing right now is what you can expect.

142
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: But you know, going into the season, you would have

143
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: been happy with three hundred. So it might it might

144
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: get back there, but that would be an extended slump

145
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: at this point.

146
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: It's it's fun to.

147
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: Be hyperbolic and imagine kind of big things from players,

148
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: but yeah, you know, realistically it's gonna be lower.

149
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I guess.

150
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: Kind of the last kind of wrap up thought on

151
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: Kwan is do you we're gonna talk about some bylows

152
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: and sell highs later in the show, as we always do.

153
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: Would you consider him a sell.

154
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: High or a bye high if you need help at outfield,

155
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: which I do in pretty much every league I'm in. Uh,

156
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: Is he somebody that you would be spending up for

157
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: and saying, listen, I'm gonna get batting average, he's probably

158
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: gonna start running more, you know, throughout the season. Or

159
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: are you saying let's take advantage of this hot start

160
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: and sell. Yeah, I would probably be a seller because

161
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: his value is just I mean, it's not as high

162
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: as it could be, because if he was stealing bases

163
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: on top of this, I think everybody would be in

164
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: bud He's yeah, you know, not sealing bases. The Guardians

165
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: are on this crazy run. That's the whole team is

166
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: going to slow down, and he's part of gonna be

167
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: part of that as well. So I think he's he's

168
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: a cell right now, if I'm being honest. Let's go

169
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: to our next topic. Here a sad one for me.

170
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: Kyle Bradish out for the season and quite frankly likely

171
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: most of twenty twenty five. Like, it's unclear to me

172
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: if they're hoping because the Orioles are really good. I

173
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: could see a scenario where they say, you know, he

174
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: got the internal brace along with the Tommy John and

175
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: maybe saying, hey, we're hoping the shaves a few months

176
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: off the recovery, and if he comes back in fourteen months,

177
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: then hey, that's next September and you can have him

178
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: for a presumed playoff run next year. That is all

179
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: pretty wildly optimistic though, Like it's the most likely scenario

180
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: is we don't see Kyle bradschgain until twenty twenty six,

181
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: when he'll be almost thirty or thirty.

182
00:07:59,280 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: I think almost thirty.

183
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: But it's just kind of crazy to think that he's

184
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: already like kind of at this stage in his career

185
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: when it's only recently that he kind of really truly

186
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: all put it together. He was fourth and say young

187
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: voting last year. I mean he was a legitimate ace

188
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 2: for the last year and a half and even pitched

189
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: really well despite all the UCL stuff. Yeah, you know

190
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: that came up in February. Like I I was texting,

191
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: you know, obviously everybody knows I'm an Orioles fan. I

192
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: was texting all of my friends when this news came

193
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: out in February, as, oh, he's not going to pitch

194
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: this year, Like there's it just is. It's when you

195
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: hear somebody as a UCL strain. There there's never a

196
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: good news coming from that. He got some really nice

197
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: starts out of him when he finally came back, but

198
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: this felt inevitable.

199
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we keep going back to the one example where

200
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: it worked out of Tanaka right for like, yeah, three

201
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 3: or four years. But when you're only giving one example,

202
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: it's it's just it's a tough injury to face. And yeah,

203
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: I mean you can say hindsight and all this stuff

204
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 3: about maybe he should have just had Tommy John in February,

205
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 3: and you know that would have made him closer to

206
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: back in the middle of next year. But you're in

207
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: the window for the Orioles right now, and a team

208
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: like the Orioles. It's why you know the Astros are

209
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: wildly popular here in Houston, where I am as well,

210
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: is because they're in that window.

211
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: And you know, you don't always have that window.

212
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: There's been there's some real lean times in Baltimore before

213
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: this O's team, right, So you extend him out, you

214
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: try to go with rest and rehabilitation and all that.

215
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: So I don't let you know, I know, hindsight is

216
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. Everyone's upset that they didn't just do the

217
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: surgery now, but maybe if he comes back next year,

218
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: he works as a reliever, you know what I mean,

219
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: Like even if it's just quality innings late and you

220
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: don't want to overextend him, make him a reliever, make

221
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: him a closer. I mean, you know you should have

222
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: the Mountain back by then, but you know who knows

223
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: so uh and you never lack for bullpen arms too,

224
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: So it stinks. It's bad for his overall dynasty health

225
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 3: as well. Like you said, he's to be close to

226
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: thirty when he does come back, so it's really the

227
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 3: rest of the season, all of next season, and then

228
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: is he going to be limited in twenty six with

229
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: a cap as well? So it sucks, man, I mean

230
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: it is. That's It's like the worst injury in sports

231
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: right now. It's an achilles tear for anyone in any sport.

232
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 3: And then the ucl and Tommy John for pictures, it's

233
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: brutal and the Orioles just can't stop having this happen.

234
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: I mean, you've mentioned the Mountain obviously.

235
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: Last year he had his elbow surgery and this year

236
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: Tyler Wells John means now Kyle Bradish, I mean it's

237
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: just and Bradish of course being the best of them,

238
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: at least among the starters. So yeah, it's really it's

239
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 2: brutal for the Orioles. Yet I remember there was an

240
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: extended period of time where the Orioles wouldn't let players

241
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: like well, that's why Jake Arieta got so great after

242
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 2: he left Baltimore's because they wouldn't let guys throw the

243
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: cutter because it led to injuries. So you kind of wonder,

244
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: are all of these injuries going to have of going

245
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: back to that philosophy. But now that they're good, you

246
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: can't go back to that philosophy. It was obviously not

247
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 2: working well.

248
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: And I don't blame them.

249
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: Like to your point earlier about like they're in that

250
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: win now, I mean they're they're right now. I mean

251
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: they We'll see what happens by the time we get

252
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: to September. As of right now, I would say that

253
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: they've been the best team in baseball this season. They

254
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 3: have the best run differential, they're a half game off

255
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: the Yankees for the best record, and they've destroyed the

256
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: Yankees head to head, Like I mean, it's Cleveland, it's Philly,

257
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: it's Baltimore, uh, and it's the Yankees. Those are like

258
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: the teams that stand out above everybody else, and that

259
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: includes some really good teams. I mean, the Dodgers aren't

260
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 3: quite there. You know, they're really good, but I don't

261
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 3: think they're quite there with you guys. And they've just

262
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: been hit by a rash of injuries as well, So yeah,

263
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: those are one of the team.

264
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

265
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: The Braves lost of Kunya and Strider this year. Oh yeah, yeah,

266
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I know, it's just it's brutal. And

267
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 3: the Rays were great last year, but they lost their

268
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: best hitter and pitcher as well. So Glass now's gone. Uh,

269
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: you know, Fronco's in prison. So uh yeah, it's uh,

270
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: it's been tough for a bunch of teams right now.

271
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but so so yeah.

272
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: So like the Orioles, like clearly like one of the

273
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: best teams, arguably have been the best team in baseball

274
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: through the first three months of the season. They now

275
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 2: have lost three starting pitchers, like I mentioned, including one

276
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 2: of their elite ace guys. So it seems obvious they're

277
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: going to go after somebody in a trade, and this

278
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: could have an impact for fantasy.

279
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: This isn't just me, you know, working through much noos

280
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: as an Orioles fan.

281
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: I mean, if they trade for Jesus Lozardo, who has

282
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 2: been a popular person link to them, then like that

283
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: that is really nice for Lozardo to have a whole

284
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: lot more opportunities for wins in Baltimore to go into

285
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: an organization that maybe historically has been bad at developing pictures,

286
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: but since Michael las took over and Sigma Dell has

287
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: been pretty darn good at it. I just think that

288
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: that would be really appealing for a lot of pictures.

289
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: Would be an upgrade going to Baltimore. The home park

290
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: now with the pushback let feel offense. I mean, this

291
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: is one of the greatest situations a starting pitcher can

292
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: be in.

293
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: So I hear a name out there that you like,

294
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 3: I hate playing in that stadium in MLB the show

295
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 3: he answered the pushback wall. I think Lozardo is the

296
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: most obvious name right because they're struggling the contracts coming up.

297
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: They have made it clear that they're willing to trade him,

298
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: So I think that's the most obvious name. I think,

299
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: you know, maybe Logan Webb would be available. The Giants

300
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: have been pretty bad uh this this season, so cal

301
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: Quantrilla has been good. Is that a guy maybe you

302
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 3: go acquire from the Rockies for cheap right.

303
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: Well, what's what's interesting to my mind is like, do

304
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: they say, hey, we lost Kyle Bradish and we would

305
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: like to have a big three in October, so let's

306
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 2: go get a guy we think could be an ace

307
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: or yeah, like like Curchees been thrown out there, although

308
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 2: I worry with like innings stuff like do they even

309
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: expect him to be fail in October this year?

310
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

311
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I would love Crochet like just some pure

312
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: talent obviously, but I would get the concerns there and

313
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: with what it would cost. They've been reticent to trade

314
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: these elite prospects unless it's for like a Corbyn Burns.

315
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: But or do you just say, like, listen, a three

316
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: or a four actually goes a long way for us

317
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: because we've lost all of our depth right now. It's

318
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: Corbin Burns and Grayson Rodriguez who you're really happy with.

319
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: Then you're looking at Cole Irvin, who started to come

320
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: back to earth a little even yesterday, Kate Povic, who's

321
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: who I like quite a bit but has made three

322
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: career starts. Al Suarez, who before this year hadn't pitched

323
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: in the Big league since twenty seventeen.

324
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean you could make the argument that just getting.

325
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: A number three starter or a number four starter is

326
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,479
Speaker 2: really significant for this team.

327
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: It is. I would say that.

328
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: You definitely have to add something because it's like Burns

329
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: and Grayson is a nice one two pit punch.

330
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Who are you getting back this year? Are you getting

331
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: back Kramer? Kramer is the other three?

332
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: Or not?

333
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Kramer is supposed to come back?

334
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you need bullpet help too, So like

335
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: my my bigger concern because I hate yet Kimb I

336
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: mean Cray Kimberl was a great picture for a long time,

337
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: but it's past him.

338
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: His primate needs me. He's still decent.

339
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 3: But they need multiple high, high level relievers quite truthfully,

340
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: like not just one, they need multiple. My kind of dreams,

341
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: he's been there and go get like a Seth Lugo.

342
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: You know who's on fire this year and is not

343
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: going to be not going to cost you an expensive prospect, right, Like,

344
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: I think I'd rather get one of those guys unless

345
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: some huge deal comes around. I just don't think you're

346
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: gonna pay up for Lozardo right. If you're paying up,

347
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: it's crochet.

348
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: I have her.

349
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: I have heard three sources that the Orioles are interested

350
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: in Lozardo. Yeah, like like not not just like, oh, hey,

351
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: connecting the dots, that makes sense. They specifically like Lizardo

352
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: and are interested in trading for him.

353
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it would make a lot of sense,

354
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 3: It really would. So it's well, but I'd be happy.

355
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: You know.

356
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: What I would love is to double dip. I would

357
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: love to say, hey, go get Hellsley and Sonny Gray

358
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: from the Cardinals, or say, oh help go get Ann

359
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: Harvey together, yeah, you know, from from the Nest, go

360
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: get Scott and and Lozardo.

361
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I would be on board with that for sure.

362
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: And again with Orioles.

363
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I would love I mean, I mean again,

364
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: and all these guys are short of short of if

365
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 3: it's a closer who they the oils you is now

366
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: a setup man, you know, in front of camberl. Outside

367
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: of that, anybody getting trade to Baltimore is an upgrade

368
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 3: in their fantasy value. So that's that's kind of a

369
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: nice situation where somebody you think is going to get

370
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: a boost here. We can move on from that because

371
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: I know people don't like what I oh you know

372
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: what I mean, wells and I get craped for talking

373
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: about Carol for ten minutes at the beginning.

374
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Well, I'm already again.

375
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: Nobody can see it, but I'm already rubbing the Baltimore

376
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: in your face a bit much with my.

377
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: Raven's shirt on. I don't care about the o's at all.

378
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: It's those those are less less problem. All right, let's

379
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: go to the next one. How real is Elliott ramass

380
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 2: breakout this month? He has been fantastic, Yeah, he has been.

381
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: And I think in terms of, you know, sticking in

382
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: the lineup. You know, I love this Tony Romo word.

383
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: The Giants have become a meritocracy. The lineup has been

384
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: so bad. If you're the guy hitting, you stay in

385
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 2: the lineup. That's it, period, end of story. And that's

386
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: what Ramos has been doing. And he's hitting the crap

387
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: out of the ball. He's hitting it really hard. That's

388
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: what we like the most about Halio Ramos. And you know,

389
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: the batting average is a thing that I just go,

390
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 2: this is not staying. I think the power is fine,

391
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: you know, but the three to zero seven batting average

392
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 2: with an XBA two sixty seven, so you're hitting forty

393
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: points better than expected. I don't think that's gonna stick around.

394
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: And I think we might have a brutal backswing on

395
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: that as well, you know, just like an extended slump

396
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: for Ramos.

397
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: But he's on this heater right now. Ride the wave

398
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 3: until it starts to go south.

399
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: Man. I love it when.

400
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: You know little known players or players that you expect

401
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 3: to break out, or guys that have been in you know,

402
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 3: kind of a platoon situation starts to come around and

403
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: do it. You know, we've seen that from a lot

404
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 3: of older guys this year. Look at what Rono Blanco

405
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: is doing, for God's sake, you know, so hale o'

406
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: Ramo's much younger than Blanco but kind of a forgotten guy,

407
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 3: a big name prospect that had all the seam, all

408
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 3: the wind come out of his sales, and now he's

409
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: kind of earning it back. So I it's believable, But

410
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: it ain't gonna last for a big chunk of the season,

411
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 3: is what I would say. It's it's a nice run here,

412
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: but I expect I expect a stretch that's probably as

413
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 3: bad as this is good, and you know, for his

414
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 3: numbers to be somewhat normal. But this could be a

415
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: guy that hits twenty five and drives in seventy five,

416
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 3: scores seventy five. I even, you know, hits around We'll

417
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 3: say two seventy five. Since he's hitting so well now,

418
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: we'll give him a little bit of a boost, probably

419
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: closer to fifty.

420
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, I believe in it.

421
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: And my boy Casey Bubba, who's a huge Giants fan,

422
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: I saw him tweet the other day, Goodbye Wilmore Flores.

423
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: Hello hale O Ramos. So I am I'm buying on

424
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: Ramos right now.

425
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, some some just numbers from June obviously three. He's

426
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 2: played eighteen games in June, eight home runs, twenty two rbi,

427
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: nine walks, does have twenty three strikeouts, batting three thirty three,

428
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: OBP is four oh seven, slugging six ninety three.

429
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 3: His ops this month is eleven hundred. So he's been,

430
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: I mean, just hitting the crap.

431
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: Out of the ball. He three three doubles as well.

432
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean he's under He's on Yahoo right now,

433
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: he's seventy eight percent rostered. Like I do think like

434
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: for whatever you might think there's regression coming and again

435
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: like for maybe it's just me, but I've really struggled

436
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: to fill outfield in my deeper leagues this season, So like,

437
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think that number should be below eighty.

438
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he should below ninety the way he's

439
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 2: playing right now. Not that I'm saying like I would

440
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: go give up the farm and a trade for him,

441
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: or that it would drop some some struggling stud for him,

442
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 2: But it's hard for me to imagine there's not somebody

443
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: towards the end of people's benches or who are, you know,

444
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: kind of lower on their outfield depth that you wouldn't

445
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: rather take the swing on Ramos being.

446
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: Legit for sure? For sure.

447
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 3: I mean that is I think he's rostered pretty well

448
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 3: in a lot of spots. I think he's over fifty

449
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 3: percent in some you know, like Yahoo ESPN. I mean,

450
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: it's hard to get the best players over fifty roster ESPN,

451
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: but CBS, I think he's He was pretty high up

452
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: there when we looked earlier this week. So you know,

453
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: is he available hopefully and if he is, and you

454
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: got somebody crappy on the end of your bench, cut him.

455
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's roll. Let's go with the Hawkeye kind of

456
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: a NOE brand.

457
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: It was similar to Mayor and I talked about this

458
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: in week one and you already mentioned Renel Blanco when

459
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 2: he threw the no hitter, and I was like.

460
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: I picked him up in two spots right there.

461
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm like, I don't care if I think it's

462
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: legit or not, Like it's it's the signature significance. Like

463
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 2: if somebody throws a no hitter in their first start

464
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: of the season, I'm just taking a swing on that.

465
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 3: If somebody has a month like Ramos is having, and

466
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: again I have any need whatsoever at the position, I'm

467
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: gonna take a swing on that, and then if he

468
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 3: falls off, drop him. But yeah, I mean it's too

469
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: many of those players and you play long enough have

470
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: made you look like a fool by you go ah,

471
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: there's nothing there. I don't care about this one one

472
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: off no hitter doesn't make a difference. If I got

473
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: someone at the end of my bench, I'm not one

474
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: hundred percent locked in on give me that guy. Have

475
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 3: you ever done this bitworm where you're at the wire,

476
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: you're debating on who to drop, and then you go

477
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: to pick him up and someone else has already picked

478
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: him up. Yeah, Like while you were deciding on who

479
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: to drop. I've had that bit happen to me before,

480
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: which is why I think so many people got so

481
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: mad at that in the early two thousands. That's why

482
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: waivers are the most popular thing in the world.

483
00:21:59,040 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: Now.

484
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 3: It happened to too many people. They had too many

485
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 3: angry moments. We'll say, yeah, I've been burned by that

486
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 3: many times, and I remember specifically it happening to me

487
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: to Hanley Ramirez, Oh yeah, how long ago, Like I

488
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: picked him up in one league, and then in another league,

489
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, who I drop? And I like went made

490
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: myself dinner, and I came back. I'm like, I'll just

491
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 3: drop this guy. And it's like, this guy is no

492
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: longer on the waiver wire.

493
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 2: I only am in one league now that doesn't have

494
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: daily waivers, so there's only one league where that can

495
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 2: happen to me. The rest it's all, Hey, I have

496
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 2: told tonight to kind of decide this because I've been

497
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 2: burned so many times with that. Yeah, let's go to

498
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: our last topic here for around in the bases. And

499
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: it's just we couldn't I know, it's been a couple

500
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: of days we couldn't not talk about Willie Mays for

501
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 2: my money, the greatest player of all time. And that's

502
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: not like a oh now the he's passed away.

503
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: You're kind of reframing him in your head, like I've

504
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: always said that that I think he's the greatest just

505
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 3: most well rounded all around player of all time.

506
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 2: There have been tons of awesome articles and you know,

507
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 2: just stuff remembering him that have also listed some of

508
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 2: the ridiculous stats from his career and like they truly

509
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: are ridiculous. He you know, one of the ones I saw,

510
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 2: I think it was on the Ringer was making this

511
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: case that you know, because because he missed two years

512
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: you know, in the war, and he like, very likely

513
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 2: if he would maintained basically he took the year before

514
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: he went he was drafted into service and the year

515
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: he came back and kind of averaged them in between

516
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: and said, all right, if he was on this average

517
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: pace between the two in those two years, which is

518
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: a reasonable thing to assume, he would have been the

519
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: one to break Babe Ruth so run record, not you know,

520
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: initially Hank Aaron for the first time, and you know,

521
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: we would we would look at his counting stats and

522
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: even even better, like his war would very likely be

523
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: under only Babe Ruth all time. But it's obviously already

524
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: inner circle Mount Rushmore goat level stuff.

525
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously six hundred and sixty home runs.

526
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: Another interesting one I saw was strictly kind of looking

527
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: at war and gold gloves and stuff like that.

528
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: He basically was.

529
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: He would have been a Hall of Famer only as

530
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: a hitter if he was like like played first base

531
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 2: or some non defensive position. And he would have been

532
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer only as a base runner and

533
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 2: a fielder if he was a league average hitter. And

534
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: just from all the gold gloves in center and the

535
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: iconic places, he basically had two Hall of Fame careers

536
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: and also was this amazing ambassador for the game, this

537
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: icon of everywhere up great person like like truly could

538
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: we could do an entire hour long show talking about

539
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: how great this guy was.

540
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Willie Mays lived in Scottsdale, where I lived for

541
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 3: most of my life growing up for a long time.

542
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 3: I could give you the cross streets and the place

543
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: that he lived, like I know where it is, I

544
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 3: could go there right now. But he's such a good

545
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: I mean, the thing you said about him being an ambassador,

546
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: that is the important thing Willie Mays right, like his

547
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: stats and being one of the best ever is clear.

548
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: Even if you don't think he's the best player ever,

549
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 3: you can't put him outside of the top five players

550
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 3: to ever play.

551
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: He is definitely one of those guys.

552
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: And not just that, but being an ambassador in a

553
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 3: time that wasn't great for people like Willie Mays right,

554
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: and just staying with the game and being involved in it.

555
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: And you know, you see so many amazing things that

556
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 3: he did on and off the field. I saw a

557
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: video the other day of Vin Scully acting like a

558
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: child meeting Willie Mays, you know, when they're both old,

559
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 3: old men. But he's like, you know, you are the

560
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: reason I love baseball. You were my favorite player of

561
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: all time, even though you wore the wrong uniform, he

562
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: told Willie. So, you know, just to have a person

563
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: like that involved and stay around the game and be

564
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 3: so huge and involved in it for so long, just

565
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 3: you know, a great person, which is way more important

566
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 3: than being a great baseball player and a good human being.

567
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: So just a great dude. The world lost a great.

568
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: One with Willie one hundred percent, and there's like there's

569
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: no mark statistical mark against him, Like in terms of

570
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: just his play on the field, Like again, like one

571
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: of the greatest defensive center fielders of all time who

572
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: also made probably the single greatest play or at least

573
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: the most iconic play in baseball history with the catch,

574
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: which you know, by the way people always talk about

575
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 2: the catch, the throw was even more impressive. He had

576
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: the maybe the greatest nickname of all time to say, hey,

577
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: kid is like just a it's a perfect nickname. He

578
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: was elite against you know, all the Hall of Fame

579
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: pitchers he facing his career, he had like an ops

580
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 2: over nine hundred against him or something like that. You know, again,

581
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: he retired with the third most home runs ever. Like

582
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: he just just there was nothing pure baseball he is.

583
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: He is baseball in its purest form.

584
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: Willie Mains's.

585
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that, like truthfully for me, like

586
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: I've always said that, I think he's the goat. I

587
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: don't like in terms of just hitters, because it's hard

588
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 2: to compare hitters versus pictures. But in terms of just hitters,

589
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: I really don't know besides Hank Aaron, who even really

590
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: has a case because everybody else, like Babe Ruth played

591
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: before integration and players now and Barry Bonds had steroid

592
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 2: help like Mays and Aaron are the two where it

593
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: was largely mostly integrated at the time, and they were

594
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: playing in the NL, which was more kind of integrated

595
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: than the ALE. The NL embraced it sooner, having you know,

596
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 2: players of color on the team. So he was playing

597
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: at the best possible competition without help from steroids.

598
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: And was this good.

599
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: Like the statistic and war probably underrates what he was

600
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: defensively back back then because we just couldn't track it

601
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: as well and he didn't he could have run more

602
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 2: than he did.

603
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just again unbelievable player. Yeah.

604
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 3: I mean, I think in terms of if we're talking

605
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 3: pure hitters, Tony Gwinn courses up there. But as good

606
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: as Tony Quinn was, he didn't have Willie's power, not

607
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 3: even close. You know, Bonds without the steroids, I think

608
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 3: Bonds is the best hitter ever. I think Bonds without

609
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 3: the steroids is probably still the best hitter ever. So

610
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 3: he didn't really even need them, but he was obviously

611
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 3: unbelievable with them. So yeah, I mean, there's so many

612
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 3: great players I think in terms of the most important

613
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 3: player in history.

614
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: I still think that's probably Babe Ruth.

615
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: It's either Babyruth Jackie Robinson, it's not you know, I

616
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: think without Baby Ruth, baseball maybe doesn't exist. You know,

617
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 3: because after the Black Sox scandal, nobody was watching baseball

618
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: until he started hitting homers. So the league literally almost

619
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: went over after the scandal. So bab Ruth's probably most important.

620
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: If not, it is definitely Jackie. You know, they both

621
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 3: helped save the sport. So but Willie Mays, if you

622
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: just want pure baseball player best ever, it's probably him

623
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: the last statle thrower, because again, you could throw out

624
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: a thousand of them. He is the only player in

625
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: baseball history with three thousand hits, a three hundred batting average,

626
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 3: three hundred home runs, and three hundred stolen bases.

627
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: And by the way, he went way above a lot

628
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: of those marks. And oh, by the way, he also

629
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: has the most goal gloves of any center field er

630
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: in history.

631
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

632
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: I think the only player with more All Star appearances

633
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 3: and Willie Mays is Hank Karen.

634
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: He had more All Star appearances than then seasons played.

635
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 3: I didn't get that, like they have multiple All Star games. Yes,

636
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: did they have one in Japan before the year right.

637
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: I don't remember all the details, but I know there

638
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: were years where there were multiple and he was in both.

639
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's like, dude.

640
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 3: Played twenty three years, it had twenty four all star apperiods,

641
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: unbelievable legends.

642
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, rip to the goat.

643
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: We you know, like you said, baseball lost the real

644
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: a real important figure, uh this week, and and and

645
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: he's being very well honored by the sport and by

646
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: fans and by you know, former players and everybody.

647
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he, you know, is being is being very well.

648
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: Remember Barry Bonds got father.

649
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: I know, how wild is it that the guy with

650
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: like the best cases, like oh, maybe better than him

651
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 2: is like, oh, his godson.

652
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: I know that's nuts. Yeah, wild stuff.

653
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: All right, So we'll move on here to Bilo cell High.

654
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: We'll just throw out.

655
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: Some players here Bogman, you know, typically Mayor and I

656
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 3: are like, you know, all right, I guess we'll like,

657
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: you know, we'll we'll find a name and then we'll

658
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: just move on.

659
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: You went above and beyond here.

660
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: You were like, I'm gonna give you multiple names for

661
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 3: each of these, so we don't need to like dive

662
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 3: deep into them, But who you got as your favorite

663
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 3: buy low? I think if you're buying low right now,

664
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 3: it's a time to make a big swing deal. Go

665
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 3: get Pablo Lopez man, I mean Pablo. He's not gonna

666
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: be easy to buy because I think a lot of

667
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: people get it. But in case you aren't aware, his

668
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 3: season is not great. He's six and six, his ERA

669
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: is over five and a half his five point six,

670
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 3: but his SIERRA is better than last year. It's three

671
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: three six, where last year was three three seven x

672
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 3: fit a little bit higher than last year, but it's

673
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 3: three four to seven. So obviously things are not breaking

674
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: his way, and that is going to be a trend

675
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: that goes in reverse in the second half. He's one

676
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 3: of the best pitchers in baseball. All the underlying stats

677
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 3: say it. It's gonna happen pretty soon for him. So

678
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 3: if you're if you have someone in your league that

679
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 3: doesn't really understand expected stats maybe or is new or something,

680
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: maybe you can get Pablo off of them for cheap.

681
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: But even if it's someone who understands, I think his

682
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: price is down right now because of this early season performance.

683
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: So that's a guy.

684
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: And also Vlad, I mean I'm picking big names here

685
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 3: and I'll get into lower names later. But Vlad right

686
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: now is hitting what is he hitting? Two seventy eight?

687
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 3: His XBA is three hundred on the nose, one of

688
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 3: the best in baseball. Exit Loossi is still very high.

689
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 3: Max ev is in the top one percent, So I

690
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: mean vladd is right on the doorstep of turning everything

691
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: around as well.

692
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: I know the Blue Jays aren't.

693
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: Blue Jays have been a little bit tough this year,

694
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: but I think bladd is about to turn around. So

695
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 3: if you want a couple of big names, those are

696
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: the guys that I'm buying low on. I hope you're

697
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 3: right on Vladdie because he's I don't actually have him

698
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 3: in a lot of places this year, but I just

699
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: love watching him play, and I've been a big believer

700
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 3: in his you know, since day one.

701
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: Obviously I'm not going on a limb.

702
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: He was a top prospect for a reason, but you know,

703
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: he's kind of gone down a bit the last couple

704
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: of years, you know, trending in the wrong direction and

705
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: then now kind of having his worst year in terms.

706
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: Of the actual results so far.

707
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: So the expected number is obviously paint a prettier picture,

708
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: and I really hope it does. I don't hope, I

709
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: have been Yeah, yeah, I hope it doesn't come around

710
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: for the Blue Jays as a whole.

711
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: But I do like Vladdie, so I hope it does.

712
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: Launch angles so low last year he got the launch

713
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: up to ten and a half. This year's five point six.

714
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 3: So he's getting no lyft on the ball, so but

715
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: he's still hitting the crap out of it. So as

716
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: soon as that changes, maybe it's the All Star break.

717
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: I think that that's kind of john kind of a reset.

718
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: No, I'm with you. I think that's a that's a

719
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: really good call. I went a little.

720
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: Bit, uh, you know, smaller name with this one.

721
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: I went with Andrew Vaughan, who, by the way, like

722
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: could arguably be included in the waivers section because he

723
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: is available, I mean depending on the league. But you know,

724
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 3: he's available in fifty you know, he is rostered to

725
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 3: fifty one percent on Yahoo, fourteen percent on ESPN. You know,

726
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 3: he's he's somebody that you can probably go out and

727
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: get depending on how deep your league is, and.

728
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: If you can't, you could probably trade for him. He's

729
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 2: been such a disappointment from the prospect pedigree. But he

730
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: is one of those guys who I was so in

731
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 2: love with in college and I just cannot quit thinking

732
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: this guy is going to be a really good major

733
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: league hider. It clearly hasn't happened yet, but he's been

734
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: on fire in the month of June. If you look

735
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: June fourth through June twentieth, he's played sixteen games. He's

736
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: batting three fifty eight in this stretch. His ops is

737
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: just under a thousand.

738
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: He's got five home runs in those sixteen games, fifteen RBI,

739
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 3: and that's playing for, you know, a poor team. There's

740
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: there's maybe a bit of uh, you know, flukiness in that.

741
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: It's a small sample size. The bapup is pretty high

742
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: in this stretch. But he's one of those prospects who

743
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: I just will never ever give up on, and so

744
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: when he goes in a hot streak like this, I

745
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: get kind of excited. And the other thing is when

746
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: I say by low, it's you know, you obviously went

747
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: for the higher name, the bigger name players, which I

748
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 2: think is totally fine. You can get Andrew Vaughn likely

749
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: for very cheap because he has been so bad for

750
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: you know, such a disappointment, you know, again relative to

751
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 2: that prospect of pedigree, and he hasn't even really been

752
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 2: that good this year. But if he's kind of figuring

753
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: some things out. Finally, he's only twenty six, it's not

754
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: like he's thirty. Sure, he's somebody that I'd be willing

755
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 2: to literally buy low on or pick up available on

756
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: waivers and see, hey, maybe this guy who we know

757
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 2: can be a good hitter, or at least we believe

758
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: it based on everything he did in the minors and

759
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 2: in college.

760
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: Maybe it just took a couple of years and he's

761
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: figuring it out.

762
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: I'm willing to take that chance if you could truly

763
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 3: get him for a low price. What do you think

764
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 3: about von Yeah, in his last twenty games, he's had

765
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 3: three without a hit. So I mean seventeen of twenty

766
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 3: games he has at least one hit. And I saw

767
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 3: Andrew on break out obviously, because he had five of

768
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 3: these hits against the Diamondbacks. He had three in one game.

769
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 3: It was like he couldn't stop hitting. It was crazy.

770
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 3: So Andrew vaugh is a guy that everyone who is

771
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: rostering him right now, you're all welcome, because I dropped

772
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 3: him about three weeks ago when this happened, so clearly

773
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 3: I was the catalyst to make this. So everybody's welcome.

774
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think you're right. It's a tough team.

775
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 3: I think the best thing for Andrew Vaughn would be

776
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 3: let's get him off this team. Let's get him traded,

777
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 3: and they're not holding on to anyone. So I think

778
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 3: Andrew vaugh is a I don't know what his contract

779
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 3: looks like, but I think he's a pretty easy trade

780
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 3: target from this team for a guy that's getting hot

781
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 3: right now. So yeah, I think that's a very good

782
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 3: call worm on buying low on Andrew vaugh.

783
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: A lot of the data on him on stat cast

784
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 2: is roughly in line with previous years, maybe slightly high

785
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: or slightly lower when looking at his whole season.

786
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: The launch angle, though, is way higher it's in his

787
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: four years in his career.

788
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 3: It was nine point seven seven point five degrees eleven

789
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 3: point two last year. This year it's seventeen point one degrees.

790
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 3: So it's been trending upwards a significant amount, actually, so

791
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 3: we'll see, we'll see if that continues. But yeah, I

792
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 3: like Andrew Vaughn. He is one of those guys who

793
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: I will go down with the ship on like I will.

794
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 3: I will be the last person on Andrew vaugh Island.

795
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 3: I guarantee it. Let's let's go to the cell highs here.

796
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Who you got? So I have a couple.

797
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 3: The main one that I want to talk about is

798
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 3: Tanner Scott and the Welsh is up this point a

799
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 3: bunch of times like this guy's gonna get moved.

800
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna not be a closer.

801
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 3: So I think, yeah, you trade Tennis Scott now the

802
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 3: other guys that I have churchs and Profar. Like nothing

803
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 3: is saying that Profar is going to slow down, Like

804
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 3: there's not really an inkling stat that says he's gonna

805
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: slow down from what he's been doing with this insane

806
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 3: pace that he keeps at. I just don't buy it,

807
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 3: Like I just everything in my body says, get rid

808
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: of Profar. Now, trade him high for what he's doing.

809
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 3: And I think, I think every week that goes by

810
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 3: where he doesn't slow down, his price increases. But he

811
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 3: is gonna fall off like a guy that worm didn't

812
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 3: know the yoldler on the price is right, He's gonna

813
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 3: fall off that cliff pretty soon, I think. And once

814
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: he has a bad week, I think so much the

815
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 3: value is gonna be cut out from underneath his legs.

816
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 3: So I think Profar is the guy I think everyone knows.

817
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 3: Tyler Anderson is the opposite of Pablo right. He is

818
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: a guy that has an e r A in the twos.

819
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: I think it's two point three two point four eight,

820
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 3: and his sierra is five one nine. His ex fip

821
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,959
Speaker 3: is five oh nine, like the other shoe is gonna drop,

822
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: and Tyler Anderson is about to get smashed around.

823
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: So those are the guys that I would sell high

824
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: right now. I threw a couple of names out from mine.

825
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 2: I mentioned Anthony Santander just because this is one of

826
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 2: his patented heaters. Come on, Homer, you gotta you gotta

827
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: keep that guy in the lineup.

828
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: He's crushing it right now.

829
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: I've tried to prove that I'm not a Homer by saying,

830
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 3: you know, he's not gonna he's not gonna hit ten

831
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: home runs a month every month the rest.

832
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: Of the season.

833
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 3: You said he's not a Humer. Yeah, this is what

834
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 3: Sontander does, though. It's he He goes on cold streaks

835
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: and he goes in hot streaks. He's the type of

836
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,959
Speaker 3: guy that wins you weeks in fantasy and then little

837
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 3: bit of a rollercoaster for sure. So since he's on

838
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 3: such a heater right now, if you can sell him high,

839
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 3: it's that's just a quick mession. I still he's kind

840
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: of rough with the same player he's been the last

841
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 3: couple of years, so you know, he kind of is

842
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 3: what he is. The other one, the one I really

843
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 3: wanted to mention, is Royce Lewis, And this one is

844
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 3: not fun to mention because everybody's having so much fun

845
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 3: watching what he's doing right now.

846
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 2: Absolutely on fire. It's like a surprise when he hits

847
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: a fly ball that.

848
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: Doesn't go out right now.

849
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 2: Obviously, former number one overall pick, you know, seven years ago,

850
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 2: has been a top prospect, has the pedigree, the injuries

851
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: though they have been such a constant in his major

852
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: league career, and also like he's not going to hit

853
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 2: three seventy seven this season with an OPS over thirteen hundred,

854
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: so there's going to be regression. He's not going to

855
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 2: keep homering, you know, on pace for what like fifteen

856
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: homers a month, and there's such a threat of injury

857
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: that I was listening to the to the CBS Fancy

858
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 2: Baseball Show actually earlier today, and Scott White, big fan

859
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 2: of said that if you promised he would stay healthy,

860
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 2: he thinks in a redraft right now, Royce Lewis would

861
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 2: be like maybe like a late second round pick. And

862
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 2: he said he had it was kind of on the

863
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 2: spot answer, So don't you know hold him to that?

864
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: That was kind of what he throughout there than that,

865
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 2: to be honest, Well, and that's that's what what he said,

866
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 2: Like that might even be a little bit low. And

867
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: to me, if I can get somebody going in that range.

868
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 2: The example they used on their show was was Raphael Devers,

869
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: but anybody of that kind of ilk, I'm probably making

870
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 2: that trade because I want somebody that I'm reasonably certain

871
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 2: is going to be healthier than Royce Lewis.

872
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: Who would you trade? What's that when you trade Royce

873
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: for madd Olson?

874
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: I I think I would trade Royce for Matt Olson.

875
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: Matt Olsen's he's starting to come back around, has shown

876
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: that he probably was dude to come.

877
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 3: Probably should have done that two weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

878
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 2: I just again like like I feel really happy for

879
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: Royce Lewis, Like I'm excited that he is having this,

880
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: you know, real breakout. I mean, he he has clearly

881
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 2: gone through a lot in terms of the injuries in

882
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 2: his career, so it's awesome that he is having this

883
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: moment and I hope it continues. I hope that I

884
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 2: sit here in September and say, boy, I would have

885
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 2: been a fool to trade away Royce Lewis. I want

886
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,959
Speaker 2: the best for him. And it's again, it's so fun

887
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 2: to watch. This is such an unfun person to pick

888
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 2: for a Cell High. He seems like the quintessential guy

889
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 2: because he's not gonna be nobody is this good. And

890
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 2: also his history is that he might not stay healthy.

891
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 2: So to me, he's somebody. And again I'm not when

892
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: I say this with Mayor all the time. I'm not

893
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 2: selling Royce Lewis for the sake of selling. I'm selling High.

894
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: If I'm getting a stud back or two pieces I

895
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 3: feel really good about back, that's what I'm selling.

896
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, and I understand that.

897
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 3: And I think some of this can sound jaded because

898
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: he's had this crazy injury history, right, and it's like, well, yeah,

899
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 3: trade him before he gets hurt again. But the guy

900
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 3: is on a heater. It's like every day you look up,

901
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 3: he's got another Homer. So I understand in selling high

902
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 3: and getting what you can for him, So.

903
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: I get it.

904
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 3: I it's hard to sell these guys though, because everybody

905
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 3: knows about the injury history. Everybody knows he's streaky. So yeah,

906
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: you know, it becomes this is why trades can be hard,

907
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 3: because you have to have someone that wants this guy

908
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 3: wants to pay the price and has something you need.

909
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 3: Somebody could be willing to pay the price. They just

910
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: don't have anything that you need, so then you got

911
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 3: to get another team in while it's a whole thing.

912
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's tough to trade a guy like this

913
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 3: because a lot of the people know and a lot

914
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 3: of time you just don't value him the same, which

915
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: is tough.

916
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: It's a really good point.

917
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 2: Actually, not to just mention Scott White a whole bunch

918
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: of this episode, but he had an article I think

919
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: it was last year about but maybe it was two

920
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 2: years ago. He had some article within the last couple

921
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 2: of years about how like trades just don't happen in

922
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: fantasy baseball anymore because it's it's just like so everybody's

923
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: so afraid of getting earned, and everybody has all this information,

924
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 2: so you don't have all these like statistical edges anymore.

925
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: It was it was a really well well done article,

926
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: and I would recommend anybody look it up to read it.

927
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: But I remember the whole time.

928
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: I remember reading that thinking, yeah, this is why I

929
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 2: can never get trades done anymore. To your point, like

930
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: you're talking about with Lewis, so it's kind of tricky

931
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 2: to pick bilos and sell high score that reason, I

932
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 2: think it's still, you know, informative, but yeah, it's a

933
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: it is not easy to trade in modern fantasy baseball.

934
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: Let's go to waivers Central here, who's your favorite hitter

935
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: on waivers right now?

936
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: Uh? Well, I mean I'm gonna give you one. I

937
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 3: think it's the obvious one. It's David Hamilton, who's been

938
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 3: going nuts. He's got twenty stole bases, he's getting two

939
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 3: to eighty eight, he's even thrown in four homers.

940
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't expect this to last.

941
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a guy with speed on speed

942
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 3: on speed, So specifically, if you need stole bases, great ad.

943
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 3: Right now, still hovering around fifty percent. I believe in

944
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 3: CBS leagues probably lower than that Yahoo and probably round

945
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: one percent in ESPN. But that's the main guy. The

946
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 3: other guy I am gonna homer out, give me Jock

947
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 3: Peterson hitting clean up for the d Backs and hitting

948
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 3: very well this month. This dude's hitting two ninety seven,

949
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 3: he's got nine homers, he's driving in runs. Jock Peterson

950
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 3: even has four stolen bases. A lot of those are

951
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 3: on the back end of double steals, right, but they

952
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 3: count the same.

953
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: Who cares.

954
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: So he's, you know, the big man is spinning his

955
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 3: wheels a little bit. He's on a nice little hitting

956
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 3: streak here as well. Doesn't play versus lefties a lot

957
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 3: that can be tough, but just a great hitter. And

958
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 3: he's rostered well under fifty percent, I think, on all platforms.

959
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: So those are my two guys that I go at

960
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 3: right now. Yeah, Hamilton obviously a very clear, a clear one. Here.

961
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: I went with Cedric Mullens and he's somebody that who

962
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: I mentioned when Acunia was hurt as a possible, very

963
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 2: very affordable replacement, specifically because I think he'll give you

964
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 2: some pop and he's gonna give you the stolen bases,

965
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 2: and he has been awful this year.

966
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 3: Like truly it's been. It's been the worst year of

967
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 3: his career since he was a rookie. He has not

968
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 3: hit well. I'm not even gonna pull up his statcast

969
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 3: page because I know it's all blue like he has.

970
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 2: He has been ice cold for most of the year. However,

971
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks, he's actually started hit

972
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: the ball hard. Obviously, as an Orioles fan, I watch

973
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 2: every game, so he.

974
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: Is starting to line into outs instead of you know,

975
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 3: weak dribblers and pop ups.

976
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 2: He's hitting the ball harder. He played really well actually

977
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 2: against the Yankees in this series. You know, a big

978
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 2: home run, you know, just yesterday's first time run in

979
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: a while. And for as bad as he has been,

980
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 2: and again he has been ice cold basically the whole year.

981
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 2: He is on pace for fifteen home runs and like

982
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 2: thirty five stolen bases.

983
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: That's his floor. That's when he's playing poorly.

984
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 3: If he bounces back to the hitter he's been in

985
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 3: the past at all, even if he's not you know

986
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 3: what he was when he.

987
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: Had his thirty thirty season in twenty twenty one.

988
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 2: But if he's just what he was in twenty twenty two,

989
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 2: those paces I think will go up, especially if I

990
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 2: think the modern Steels rules.

991
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 1: I think there's an outcome.

992
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: I would not predict a twenty forty season the way

993
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 2: he's played this year. I'm not saying that, but I

994
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 2: don't think it's a zero percent chance. There's an outcome

995
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 2: where that happens. If he bounces back at all, and

996
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,720
Speaker 2: even if he doesn't, I think you're getting a fifteen

997
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: to thirty season out of him. He plays such good

998
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 2: defense that the Orioles are not going to kick him

999
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: out of the lineup.

1000
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 3: They don't have an obvious centerfield replacement, because he's just

1001
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 3: better than Colton CAUs. It's crazy to me that Mullins

1002
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 3: has been so bad that he's available on wires.

1003
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 1: That is crazy.

1004
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: He just over fifty percent rostered on Yahoo and ESPN

1005
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 3: Nuts and again, I need outfield help everywhere, so like

1006
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 3: if you're in any kind of roto league, Like again,

1007
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 3: if an outfielder who I think is very likely to

1008
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 3: get you fifteen and thirty and then also bat at

1009
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 3: a higher average than he has been so far, the

1010
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 3: season appeals to you, and I think that should appeal

1011
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 3: to most people.

1012
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: He was also not even thirty yet, He's only twenty

1013
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 1: nine years old.

1014
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 2: I really like him as a waivers guy, and he

1015
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: might be coming around already. A week from now, it

1016
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 2: might be too late if he starts to look like

1017
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:02,959
Speaker 2: the Mullins of old.

1018
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 3: So I like I like him a lot. That's my

1019
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 3: opportunity to be a homer.

1020
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: Here. Let's go to the pictures. He's your favorite pitcher.

1021
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 3: Jonathan Cannon has been crushing it for the White Sox recently.

1022
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 3: His last couple starts eight innings, no earned, one walk,

1023
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 3: four strikeouts, seven hits against Houston, Then at Seattle he

1024
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 3: had seven innings, one run, one walk, seven strikeouts in

1025
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 3: only four hits, and then against you know. I mean

1026
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 3: those last two starts are the big ones. He had

1027
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 3: I know, okay start against the Rays early early in

1028
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 3: the season, but since getting called back up, these last

1029
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 3: two starts have been hot. He's got Detroit on Sunday.

1030
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I watched Detroit score like five percent of

1031
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 3: their runs for the season last Saturday in Houston when

1032
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 3: they put up thirteen on the Astros. So they're not

1033
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: scoring a lot of runs to believe, they're twentieth and

1034
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 3: runs scored and this guy has been on a heater,

1035
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 3: so he's available in a lot of leagues. He's Sunday

1036
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 3: start for you, potentially. I like Cannon, Yeah, I like.

1037
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: I like that. Pick a lot I went with.

1038
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm actually not sure is it is it just hers

1039
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: Hers dj Hers.

1040
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 3: I'm actually trying to pronounce it. I don't know one

1041
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 3: of those names. I've only read.

1042
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well, the Nationals pitcher DJ Hers. I'll say

1043
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 2: a struck out thirteen the other day. Yeah, yeah, talk

1044
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 2: about signature significance. He had a six innings, one hit,

1045
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 2: no walk's, thirteen strikeouts, just eighty four pitches. I know

1046
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: they came against the Marlins. I don't care if you

1047
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 2: look that good in your third career start, and he

1048
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 2: wasn't that good in his first two starts. If you

1049
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,479
Speaker 2: look that good in one of your first starts of your.

1050
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 3: Career, I am going to pick you up off waivers

1051
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 3: and see how legit it is.

1052
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: Can hit a little bit?

1053
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 2: He yeah, yeah, I mean he he. It was an

1054
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: excellent start and he struck out guys in the minors.

1055
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 2: He's I think I saw his minor league kper nine

1056
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 2: was something like just under thirteen. Like he can be

1057
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: a strikeout guy, and I now, are you know a

1058
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 2: bit better than anticipated? I think there's more opportunity for

1059
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 2: wins that at least you might have thought in February.

1060
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a DMV question?

1061
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, So when the Nationals came to this area, I

1062
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 3: know the Orioles were pissed.

1063
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 1: I know they were not happy at all.

1064
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 3: Was there any like, how do you feel about watching

1065
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 3: people jump ship to a new team? Because I know

1066
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 3: it had to happen, right, you had to have some

1067
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 3: friends that were close, and I know you worked in

1068
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 3: the DC area too, so I know like there's a

1069
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 3: lot of those people that were O's fans that kind

1070
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 3: of became Nationals fans. It's not something I really talked

1071
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 3: with a lot of O's fans about. So can you just, like,

1072
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 3: if we're talking baseball here, give me that perspective for So.

1073
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 2: The Nats came in two thousand and five, I was

1074
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 2: I turned thirteen and Diamondbacks were the first team they

1075
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: played at oh Or they rember at RFK. I went

1076
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 2: to RFK for sure, So I think when it was

1077
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 2: announced I was like twelve, and so I had a

1078
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 2: lot of friends who.

1079
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: Were Orioles fans.

1080
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 2: I was an Oriols fan because my grandfather grew up

1081
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 2: in Baltimore, and so then my mom was an Orioles fan.

1082
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: So I'm an Ools fan because of her, not just

1083
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 2: because they were the closest team to be growing up.

1084
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 2: So when the Nationals came, like, I never even remotely

1085
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 2: considered switching. It was like, right, why would I? I

1086
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 2: love the Orioles, Like, I'm not gonna just there's a

1087
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 2: new team that lives. Oh, there are only thirty minutes

1088
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 2: for me instead of an hour and ten minutes for me.

1089
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna be a diehard. No.

1090
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm an Orioles fan. A lot of

1091
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: my friends switched, and a lot of a lot of

1092
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: people I know switched.

1093
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: You know.

1094
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 2: I I used to intern for Chad Duke's in I

1095
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: want to six seventh the fan in DC, and he

1096
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: would give me a hard time. He was like, you

1097
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 2: live in Virginia and you, like, you know, work in DC.

1098
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: Why are you not you want to give your hard

1099
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: time for not jumping ship? Yeah? Whatever, He was like,

1100
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: why are you an Oriols fan? You're not.

1101
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 2: You've never lived in Maryland, you never lived in Baltimore.

1102
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 2: But you know, people have all different reasons becoming fans

1103
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 2: for their team.

1104
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 3: I've lived in Pittsburgh. My whole dad's side of the

1105
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 3: family is extreme.

1106
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 2: Totally familial to me, And yeah, so I didn't I

1107
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily judge people who switched, but most of them

1108
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 2: weren't as die hard as me. Like I was just

1109
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 2: a huge baseball fan growing up. Most of them were

1110
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: more casual, Like, yeah, I root for the Orioles because

1111
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 2: I go to one game a year with my family,

1112
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: and if if I had to pick a baseball team,

1113
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 2: it's them. But if you're gonna be a casual fan,

1114
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 2: I think it's reasonable. If you're like a diehard like

1115
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 2: I was, it never even crossed my mind for half

1116
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 2: a second.

1117
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 3: I was pretty casual because I was born in Houston,

1118
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 3: and I lived in Houston until I was uh ten

1119
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 3: or eleven, and then I moved to Phoenix. But when

1120
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 3: I moved to Phoenix, the next month, they announced that

1121
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 3: Phoenix was getting a team. So I was like, all right, well,

1122
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 3: this is a team I'm gonna follow from the ground up.

1123
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 3: That's kind of it. Because I was eleven. How passionate

1124
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 3: of a fan can you be at eleven?

1125
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: You know? What I mean.

1126
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 3: So, so I would like, you know, when the d

1127
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 3: Backs had their first draft, I read a bunch of

1128
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 3: those articles when you know, the Sidewinders were playing in

1129
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 3: tuc songs they're the Triple A affiliate because they were

1130
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 3: they started to draft in ninety five to build the system.

1131
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 1: Uh, and then their debut was ninety eight.

1132
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,720
Speaker 3: So I watched the system build and then like Travis

1133
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 3: Lee and those guys come up through the system, and

1134
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 3: they made the big trade for Matt Williams before the

1135
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 3: first season and all that. So just interesting because I

1136
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 3: am a fan that kind of switched. I moved right

1137
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 3: and I was a kid, but I also didn't realize

1138
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 3: you were still young, and it made me feel so

1139
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 3: old that you were twelve years old in two thousand.

1140
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was. I was born in ninety two. Yeah,

1141
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: I was twenty two.

1142
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 2: So I think it's worth noting too that at the time,

1143
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 2: you know, MLB TV wasn't really an option there. You know,

1144
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 2: there's not like a red Zone channel, you know, back

1145
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 2: then where it's like you can watch your team nationally,

1146
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: Like you were kind of limited to watching whoever was around.

1147
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: So like my mom, who was as diehard and Oriel

1148
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 2: fan as there is again, she is the reason I'm

1149
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 2: an Orioles fan. On nights where the Oriols aren't playing,

1150
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 2: you know, she likes and have the game on, She'll

1151
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 2: watch the Gnats, yeah, and so she kind of knows

1152
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,919
Speaker 2: what's going on with them, like that's the team that's

1153
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 2: on locally. Now where she lives, you can watch both

1154
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 2: the O's and the Gnats. But I mean, if you're again,

1155
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: if you're just a somebody who's not gonna pay a

1156
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 2: whole bunch of money for MLB TV like I would

1157
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 2: when I move, so I can still watch the O's,

1158
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 2: Like somebody like me who was more casual could easily

1159
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 2: have just become a Rockies fan moving to Denver because oh,

1160
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 2: that's who's on TV.

1161
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: So, like, I get it for people.

1162
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 2: The people I have a problem with the people who

1163
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: like changed to be Bandwagon fans, Like, oh, like I'm

1164
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 2: gonna I was an Astros fan five years ago and

1165
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 2: now I'm a Dodgers fan, you know, like whatever. Like, no,

1166
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of those people. But that's like

1167
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 2: kind of the cliche of what would bother me?

1168
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 3: Uh, there's a book by name a guy named Randy

1169
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 3: Queen and H called True Believers the tragical life of

1170
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 3: a sports fan, and he writes about all like what

1171
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 3: you consider true fans and all that stuff.

1172
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not really a definition.

1173
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 3: But you know, the Villanova how long have you liked

1174
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 3: Villanova was after they won a title? Is like, oh,

1175
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 3: for as long as I can remember? So what city

1176
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 3: are they close to? You know that type of stuff.

1177
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 3: It's you know, those things are fun.

1178
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I will remember.

1179
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 2: The last thing I'll say on it is that in

1180
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: two thousand and five, I was like trying to sort

1181
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 2: of stake my like, I'm an Orioles fan, and when

1182
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: they finally win, nobody will ever call me a bandwagon

1183
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 2: fan because they always knew it was me. And so

1184
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: it was the first, you know bet I ever made

1185
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: on sports in my life, four or five different friends,

1186
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 2: I bet twenty dollars at the Orioles were going to

1187
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 2: win the World Series that year. I didn't get odds.

1188
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: I didn't like. It was the dumbest thing I could

1189
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 2: have done.

1190
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 3: Me.

1191
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 1: Friends weren't given you four and a half to one

1192
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: or anything. No, no, they were not.

1193
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 2: And the Orioles, if you remember, in two thousand and

1194
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 2: five actually started off really hot. They were really good

1195
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 2: through like June, and then they completely fell off as

1196
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 2: they had always done in the past, but they had

1197
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 2: they had a longer hot start to the season than

1198
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,959
Speaker 2: they had previously, so I was like, oh my gosh,

1199
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be sitting pretty And then at the end

1200
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 2: of the year, I had to pay out like one

1201
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 2: hundred dollars, which is basically like all my allowance.

1202
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: For the Yeah. Yeah, so that was that was my

1203
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: fore a into sports bed. Yeah, mine was.

1204
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 3: I bet on the Steelers against the Oilers. Uh, and

1205
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 3: I lost and I had to give this kid my

1206
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 3: lunch for like a week.

1207
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: So not fun. We've all been there, so yeah, everybody's

1208
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: got to start somewhere. That's right.

1209
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 3: Sorry, it took us down a weird rabbit hole. I

1210
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:32,919
Speaker 3: just popped in my.

1211
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 2: Brain and I know that's that's great, and it's it's

1212
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,240
Speaker 2: fun to kind of talk about your your origins and.

1213
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, we're all we're all, we're all real fans.

1214
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 2: Nobody gets into fantasy baseball without being a fan of baseball.

1215
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 3: So my bank account will tell you that I paid

1216
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 3: a lot of money to watch the Diamondbacks.

1217
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: This world series.

1218
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, oh I I The only playoff game I've

1219
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 2: ever attended was the Orioles to get blown out by

1220
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 2: the Rangers last year in Game two the al d s,

1221
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 2: So that was so for like two, that was tough.

1222
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: The Orioles were up after the.

1223
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 3: First and then they immediately lost the lead and inning

1224
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 3: two and it was over.

1225
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: So that sucks.

1226
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 2: All right, Let's move on to our weekend excitement here.

1227
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 2: This is just a quick section where Mayor and I

1228
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 2: talked about what we're most excited for this weekend. So

1229
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 2: obviously we got Bogwin filling in. I'll go first here

1230
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 2: just quickly. Braves Versus Yankees, just a fun series. Some

1231
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: injuries kind of impacting the series obviously, but you know,

1232
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 2: two good teams. I'm I'll certainly be rooting for the

1233
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 2: Braves obviously, but you know, Braves that have scuffled this

1234
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 2: year relative to expectations. The Yankees have been on the

1235
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 2: opposite end of that. But there's a lot of talent

1236
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 2: on these teams. So just a fun series to watch.

1237
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,959
Speaker 2: I think Logan Webb is going ahead to head against

1238
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 2: Sunny Gray. That's just an interesting matchup, not only because

1239
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 2: they're two good pictures, but because you know, we both

1240
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 2: those were mentioned as like maybe Theoria was trying to

1241
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: make a big swing that somebody they could go for,

1242
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 2: So an interesting one.

1243
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 3: A lot of O scout's gonna be hanging out in

1244
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 3: the game for that one.

1245
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: Well.

1246
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: And then speaking of that, the other one I listed

1247
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 2: was Hazus Lozardo is going up against Seattle. The Marritors

1248
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 2: have been good this year. It's been largely they're pitching.

1249
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 2: Of course that has made them good, but just kind

1250
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 2: of seeing because you know, like Louzarta's number aren't very

1251
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 2: good this year, and obviously they were good the last

1252
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 2: couple of years. Again, we know he's the pedigreees, Like

1253
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 2: I would still be excited if the Orioles added him,

1254
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 2: but like I would like to see him maybe pitch

1255
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 2: a little better if they're going to make a big

1256
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 2: trade and give up some of their.

1257
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 3: Ryan Elias over here, you know, changing up his entire

1258
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 3: weekend to scout the possible trade candidates after Kyle Bradish

1259
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 3: goes down. Yes, that's that's the sickness I have. All Right,

1260
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 3: what are you looking forward to this weekend? Honestly, if

1261
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 3: we talked about Blanco a little bit, I want to

1262
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 3: see if he can, you know, keep it up against Baltimore.

1263
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 3: That's a tall task. Baltimore has been so hot right now,

1264
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 3: and Blanco didn't give up a hit on Sunday. And

1265
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 3: it was such a weird start too, because that game

1266
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 3: I went to on Saturday was supposed to be Justin

1267
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 3: Berlander versus Trek Scoobel and Verlander obviously on the il

1268
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 3: now with the neck injury, but they put in a

1269
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 3: huric Getty and he got smashed. That's why Tigers scored

1270
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 3: thirteen runs and then they moved up. Blanco didn't even

1271
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 3: know he was pitching on Sunday. He pitches on Sunday,

1272
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 3: the game goes great, doesn't give up a hit over

1273
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 3: seven innings. A guy has been unstoppable, unless it's suspended

1274
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 3: for too much rosin or whatever nonsense. That was so Yeah,

1275
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 3: Ronald Blanco has been hot, and I mean, how can

1276
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 3: you not want to keep watching what Paul Skeins is doing.

1277
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 3: He's quickly becoming one of the best pitchers in the

1278
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 3: game already looks like a Garrett Cole clone. I mean,

1279
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 3: the guy has been nuts. He's one of the best

1280
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 3: pitchers already, and just to keep him. He's gonna hit

1281
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,439
Speaker 3: a bump at some point. I don't think it's gonna

1282
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 3: be against Sampa Bay, but we'll see. It's gonna happen

1283
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 3: at some point. But he has been rolling. So excited

1284
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 3: to watch him throw something this week too.

1285
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 2: Speaking of Blancover's Baltimore, I saw a stat yesterday after

1286
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 2: the Orioles completely just absolutely demolish louse Hill.

1287
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: Was that or.

1288
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 2: Not a stat, but it was just his tweet that

1289
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 2: Corbyn Burns said or somebody said, like Cormyn Burns is

1290
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 2: going to win the AlSi young by virtue of being

1291
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 2: the guy who never has to face.

1292
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: The Orioles off. Oh lord, I'm here for it. Yeah.

1293
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: The O's are in their bag right now. Yeah, all right.

1294
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 2: And then last week we'll wrap up with our season

1295
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 2: long two start pitcher competition. While I was gone, Mayor

1296
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 2: made the executive decision to allow the guests to pick

1297
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 2: for me. So far one of those matchups is complete.

1298
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 2: It was Kelly Kirby picking Logan Gilbert for me, and

1299
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 2: he absolutely shoved.

1300
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: He was fantastic.

1301
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 2: Fourteen to two thirds innings, eight hits, three earned runs,

1302
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 2: one home run, no walks, seventeen strikeouts during his two

1303
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 2: start week, so that was an easy victory for Logan Gilbert.

1304
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 2: So the current record is six to four with me ahead.

1305
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 2: We're still awaiting the results.

1306
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 3: Of last week's picks, which were Pablo Lopez versus John Grice,

1307
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 3: so we'll see how that wraps up.

1308
00:59:59,120 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: Now.

1309
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: I will tell you I actually didn't realize this until

1310
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 2: this morning, so I didn't, you know, tell you to

1311
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: change it or anything.

1312
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Last second.

1313
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 2: You're supposed to not repeat, and Mayor has already picked

1314
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 2: Aaron Nola who is your pick. But because I didn't

1315
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 2: tell you, I will allow it and we'll just say

1316
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 2: that I have a one time I can repeat somebody

1317
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 2: later in the year as well.

1318
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, that was this is yeah, this is

1319
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 3: one percent Worm's fault. But also, Mayor, I do have

1320
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 3: to warn you. Kelly Kirby has stomped me in competitions

1321
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 3: this year. We did a mock draft earlier and I

1322
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 3: even stole her spot where she was because Joe forgot

1323
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 3: to send me the invite before sending it out. So

1324
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 3: I was like, Joe, I don't have a spot, so

1325
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 3: you reason it out and I picked my spot and

1326
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 3: Kelly was like, well, I was there before you got

1327
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 3: it in. I'm like, well, it's my spot now, Kelly,

1328
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what to tell you. And she smoked

1329
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 3: me in that mock. So I've been doing so well

1330
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 3: against her, but I'm gonna take Aaron Nola because of

1331
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 3: the matchups since Detroit early in the week. It's Miami

1332
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 3: who we just talked about the dj Hurs striking out

1333
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 3: thirteen Marlins the other day, that them making everyone look great.

1334
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 3: They have the second fewest runs in the league behind

1335
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 3: the White Sox right now, Tigers, I mentioned before, they're

1336
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 3: twentieth in scoring. So for me, I like the matchup

1337
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 3: and I see you're going with the same exact strategy.

1338
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: It's very smart. I thought it.

1339
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 3: Would be fun to just take another Philly who has

1340
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 3: been very, very good this year. Obviously Rangers. Swarz has

1341
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 3: been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season.

1342
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 3: I have not used him yet. I think the algorithms

1343
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 3: all say he's been the best, So yeah, yeah, I

1344
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 3: mean it's hard to argue against it, truthfully. And his

1345
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 3: matchups at Detroit at home versus Mi heavy exactly like

1346
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 3: Aaron Nola's. Of course, what a smart executive decision. You've

1347
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 3: made when I tht that would be very fun. Now,

1348
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 3: to be clear, I will if you want to switch.

1349
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 3: Patrick Corbin does have two starts. Yeah, no, I think

1350
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 3: I'm okay, okay, I'm not a crazy Nats fan that

1351
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 3: switched in his casual. So no, I won't go based

1352
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 3: on payroll on who the best picture is. Yeah, but

1353
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 3: who knows what the you know, the blow up that

1354
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 3: Aaron Nola had the other day, If we get that again,

1355
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 3: then maybe Patrick Corbyn will look better.

1356
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: We'll see Yeah, yeah, maybe. How does this work?

1357
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 3: Is just like are we doing skins? Is this like

1358
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 3: you take a week, you get one point? Is it overall?

1359
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 3: E er?

1360
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: Is it fantasy? So it's just a competition one.

1361
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 2: It's like head to head, so like it's just who

1362
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 2: wins the week and then you get that victory and

1363
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 2: whoever wins the most week wins. We actually like we

1364
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 2: never landed on what the bet is going to be.

1365
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 2: It will be something, and we're both kind of agreed

1366
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 2: to it'll be something bad even if one of us

1367
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 2: is losing when we finally agree to the bet, but

1368
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 2: we just never quite landed on it.

1369
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 1: So it's still TBD. What the loser will have to do.

1370
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 3: But currently, like I said, i am, I've won six

1371
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 3: weeks of the ten weeks that our final because because

1372
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 3: you have to look back two weeks on each episode,

1373
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 3: because we don't know what last Like the guys we

1374
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 3: picked last week, we don't know what their weekend. Sure

1375
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 3: he's gonna look like, so we kind of have to

1376
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 3: go one week behind. So ten weeks in, I'm up

1377
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 3: six to four. Like I said, last week, you know,

1378
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 3: Brendan Tuma picked for me. He picked Pablo Lopez, Mayor

1379
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 3: picked John Gray, and then this week we've got the

1380
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 3: two Phillies, so we'll see how that continues. Like I said,

1381
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 3: I'm I'm being Mayor right now, but it's close. I mean,

1382
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 3: we could he could go either way.

1383
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: I use my league's my my.

1384
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 2: Dynasty league's Fantasy point scoring just to track it to

1385
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 2: be like if it's close, like all right, who got

1386
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 2: more Fantasy points? And Mayor always gets mad at me

1387
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 2: because I've never told him the scoring in that league,

1388
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 2: but it's really like most weeks, it's fairly clear, like

1389
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 2: this person.

1390
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: They went the same time. Yeah he gave a fewer

1391
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: runs or struck out more or whatever.

1392
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 2: So uh, and there was one week actually when I

1393
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 2: was out that was very close. It was George Kirby

1394
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 2: versus Matt Waldron, and so Mayor allowed Kelly to make

1395
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 2: the pick of Okay, well who actually won this week

1396
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 2: because the stat lines are really close, and she picked me,

1397
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 2: so I agree.

1398
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate her both picking me with Kirby and also

1399
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: giving me a great week for Logan Gilbert. So shouts

1400
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: to Kelly one hundred percent on that one.

1401
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, Bogwa, thank you so much for coming on
