Speaker 1: Chris Wells, joined by the Bubba Casey Bubba in the

Speaker 1: are we doing on this Monday to get the week
Speaker 1: started up?
Speaker 2: We're doing well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad I'm not in the stock market world
Speaker 3: as much as other people are right now. But we're
Speaker 3: here to talk some baseball and it could be worse.
Speaker 3: Like you said, you could be a White Sox fan,
Speaker 3: so exactly.
Speaker 2: Well, some are.
Speaker 3: Embracing it actually, Like I want to see the Griffle
Speaker 3: gift get the l's all the way around in a circle,

Speaker 2: But yeah, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 3: And they're going to Oakland and what they we'll talk
Speaker 3: about what's going to take place later today for them,
Speaker 3: and I don't think it's gonna help much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish, I wish I could there was a
Speaker 1: bet out there where I could just be like will
Speaker 1: the White sox ever win a game and just see
Speaker 1: what kind of odds, like will they win a game
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, or like, will they you
Speaker 1: know it's.
Speaker 2: Gonna be like four and a half wins or something
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like actually I would love that, Like from today on,
Speaker 1: give me like an over under on total wins and
Speaker 1: let me bet against that or something like that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's all chaos. Old people are complaining about the

Speaker 1: speaking Of Garrett, cole we don't Have joe here to
Speaker 1: destroy Every Garrett cole mishap or dismiss Every Garrett cole forward,
Speaker 1: step so we'll see what you can do. Here Garrett
Speaker 1: cole odd six, hits two runs and five and two
Speaker 1: thirds On sunday against The Blue, jays struck out, four
Speaker 1: didn't walk a. Batter this was in a no. Decision
Speaker 1: talk to me About Garrett. Cole we are in a
Speaker 1: weird spot WHERE i don't know the application for a
Speaker 1: lot of people is for especially some of these higher end.
Speaker 1: Pitchers you, know we're gonna talk about schemes here right after,
Speaker 1: this but you, know is there anything from this start
Speaker 1: that gleans more confidence To Gearrett, cole anything that gets more?
Speaker 1: Worries the strikeouts are still kind of, down but he's
Speaker 1: still managed as long as he doesn't play The, mets
Speaker 1: he's still. Managing.
Speaker 3: Well, Yeah and that's the biggest thing in the world
Speaker 3: where we're going to see a lot of guys get shut.
Speaker 2: Down any limits a lot.
Speaker 3: Of volatility and pitching in, general and we see that
Speaker 3: get worse and worse Into september every season with the
Speaker 3: young arms coming into. Play you just keep rolling With.
Speaker 3: Cole he's, gonna you, know have his really good. Starts
Speaker 3: team might have some questionable ones like The, mets but
Speaker 3: overall he's gonna bring a great floor to any fantasy
Speaker 3: team and he has to deal with. It you got
Speaker 3: to remember he missed like half the. Season this is
Speaker 3: who he, is and this is, like this is this.
Speaker 3: Floor that's an outstanding, Option so go with.
Speaker 1: That he had the fastball was upticked about a half
Speaker 1: a mile per hour in the, game WHICH i think
Speaker 1: is a fantastic sign that's exactly what you want to.
Speaker 1: See he was also throwing his cutter a little bit,
Speaker 1: harder but he just wasn't getting, whiffs AND i, THINK i,
Speaker 1: mean this is a tough. Team The Blue jays are
Speaker 1: one of, those Like i'll say this a lot handful
Speaker 1: of teams you're trying to like play like the k,
Speaker 1: market or you're just looking for big. Strikeouts you probably
Speaker 1: don't want to stack up pitchers going up against like
Speaker 1: The Blue, jays The, guardians The nationals And diamondbacks a
Speaker 1: little bit like those are the teams that don't put
Speaker 1: up big strikeout. Numbers But cole only had a fourteen
Speaker 1: percent with rate in this. One Four we're actually off the,
Speaker 1: fastball but none of his secondary stuff did. It is
Speaker 1: there a scenario where you're not starting him and or
Speaker 1: are you in the space at this point In august
Speaker 1: maybe roto head to head plays a little bit different
Speaker 1: where you're gonna be pickier about your starts or are
Speaker 1: you just Going BECAUSE i know it's a little bit
Speaker 1: dicey right now with ratios week to, WEEK i guess
Speaker 1: head to head makes it really tough but are you
Speaker 1: willing to be pickier with your starts moving? Forward and
Speaker 1: how does that apply To Garrett.
Speaker 2: COLE i am being much pickier with my starts.
Speaker 3: Period LIKE i, Know Kevin gosman's Not Garrett, cole BUT
Speaker 3: i still Believe gosmin has something to give to the.
Speaker 3: Table but also we've seen, disasters So i've been picking
Speaker 3: and choosing Sitting Gossman. Cole on the other, hand you,
Speaker 3: know there's probably less than ten teams in baseball i'd
Speaker 3: sit him against right.
Speaker 2: NOW i just roll them out.
Speaker 3: There but, yeah to your, question if it is a
Speaker 3: tough matchup AND i and it also, depends do you
Speaker 3: have better options on the bench Than Garrett cole in?
Speaker 3: Matchups so it's a definitely team dependant and people hate that,
Speaker 3: answer BUT i would would not be opposed to Sitting Garrett.
Speaker 3: Cole it just has to be the perfect storm to
Speaker 3: Sit Garrett.
Speaker 1: Cole by the, way speaking of The, yankees is there
Speaker 1: here's another? Bet CAN i get a bet Of Glaber
Speaker 1: torres being on a new team Starting january? First that's
Speaker 1: got to be minus twelve thousand right, now Because Glabor torres,
Speaker 1: done he does not want to be.
Speaker 2: There Aaron boone does not want him.
Speaker 3: There there's just so many layers to glabor torres not
Speaker 3: existing in.
Speaker 2: Pinstripes what way they.
Speaker 1: DIDN'T i, mean maybe this is like the market didn't make. Sense,
Speaker 1: you're you, know you're trying to. Play you need as
Speaker 1: much depth as. Possible but, LIKE i don't, know he
Speaker 1: seemed like a guy that needed to be out of.
Speaker 1: THERE i just think it's.
Speaker 3: One percent percent he's going to definitely be out of
Speaker 3: way versus just a matter does anybody take that.
Speaker 1: Chance Paul schemes was a little bit more human against
Speaker 1: The Arizona, dimicks probably the most like frustrating of. Starts
Speaker 1: he led five, hits two runs against The. Diamondbacks he's still, amazing,
Speaker 1: though but he walked, three only struck out four in
Speaker 1: a no. Decision And splinker was a little bit less.
Speaker 1: Effective and that's the thing that you, know he is
Speaker 1: continuously just, remixed if you, Will he's remixed his pitch
Speaker 1: arsenal in starts where he can go heavy, fastball he
Speaker 1: can go heavy, splinker and he can just kind of
Speaker 1: keep moving between. Them i'm trying to pull up the saffant.
Speaker 2: Page here we.
Speaker 1: Go it was just blocked by. Me but While i'm doing,
Speaker 1: that talk to me about schemes in this. Start, again
Speaker 1: this is another one of those guys THAT i don't
Speaker 1: think he's ever gonna. QUALIFY i don't even know what
Speaker 1: the qualifier would. Be but he looked a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Human SO i guess maybe the question is is are
Speaker 1: we starting to take a step into the territory of,
Speaker 1: like you've pitched the most innings you've done in the
Speaker 1: major leagues and we're going to backtrack a tiny. Bit
Speaker 1: do you think we're stepping into that or it's just a.
Speaker 1: Night you, know Diving backs are a tough offensive team
Speaker 1: to pitch.
Speaker 3: Against that's WHAT i was gonna, say is This diamondbacks
Speaker 3: team striking out less than twenty percent of the time
Speaker 3: versus rieties over the last, Month, LIKE i don't think
Speaker 3: closer to seventeen percent of the, time which is amazing
Speaker 3: for any. Team they're hitting for like a two fifty
Speaker 3: to two sixty average tons of, Power, LIKE i think
Speaker 3: it's just a very good offense for one to Give
Speaker 3: skiens the benefit of the doubt, There And i'm willing
Speaker 3: to say it's an off night for the, Kid like
Speaker 3: the dude has been so insanely. Good, like if you
Speaker 3: expected them to be that good the entire, season you're
Speaker 3: just living in a fairy tale. World you need to
Speaker 3: go Watch dead Pulling wolverine again or, something because it
Speaker 3: just doesn't make. Sense the guy is. GREAT i think
Speaker 3: he's still going to be. Good they've, mentioned you, know
Speaker 3: maybe skipping a, day giving him an extra day here.
Speaker 3: There they've already kind of talked about that because of.
Speaker 3: Pirates surprisingly still in contention for a wild card, spot
Speaker 3: so that's the fun stuff. Here i'm not too concerned about.
Speaker 3: It they want him to the finish. LINE i think
Speaker 3: we could see a cy young and definitely A rookie
Speaker 3: of The year in skiings AND i just call it
Speaker 3: a blip on the, radar and if this is his bad,
Speaker 3: starts we're just.
Speaker 2: Fine.
Speaker 1: YEAH i Mean i'll use like big minus numbers, sometimes
Speaker 1: just like for. Effect but he's like literally like minus
Speaker 1: six thousand For rookie of The, Year SO i mean
Speaker 1: he is like literally the favorite for. It here'd be
Speaker 1: the only Thing i'd point. Out and the Reason i'm
Speaker 1: bringing this up is like most fantasy trade deadlines are not.
Speaker 1: DONE i do have one that ended this past weekend
Speaker 1: the Long term twenty FOURTEEN Cbs Scott White league THAT i,
Speaker 1: do but everyone else is like still, active and the
Speaker 1: only thing to bring up is, like is it the?
Speaker 1: TIME i mean, it, ideally this isn't the time it
Speaker 1: should have been. Before but if he is going to taper,
Speaker 1: down do you want to be looking at making a?
Speaker 1: MOVE i will tell you everything was down in this.
Speaker 1: Start his fastball was down almost one full mile per,
Speaker 1: hour which you, KNOW i, mean he still throws it incredibly,
Speaker 1: hard but sinker was down or they define it. Weirdly
Speaker 1: obviously that's like the, splinker splinker the sinker and change.
Speaker 1: Up that's how like baseball savant will kind of look
Speaker 1: at it, sometimes but we know what it. Is and
Speaker 1: the whift rates were, okay but the zone rate there's
Speaker 1: something to point. Out so that's why this was kind
Speaker 1: of like an off, start and you can look at.
Speaker 1: It but he only had a thirty eight percent fastball zone,
Speaker 1: rate a thirty percent for part of the they call
Speaker 1: it again the, sinker the, splinker a thirty percent zone,
Speaker 1: rate so he couldn't throw that. Thing so, again is
Speaker 1: there something where if you could move? Off would you
Speaker 1: look at moving. Off the problem is is like they're
Speaker 1: gonna let him go the whole way. Through it's just
Speaker 1: are we starting to step into the decline at the
Speaker 1: back half of the, year or just you, know did
Speaker 1: The diamondbacks make the. Blip i'm inclined to say that
Speaker 1: it's a, blip BUT i do think it's enough to
Speaker 1: pay attention to that not only was not only was
Speaker 1: the control an, issue but the actual velocity was down
Speaker 1: a little. Bit so you, know if you, DON'T i
Speaker 1: don't think it would hurt anybody to move off for full,
Speaker 1: value But i'm not saying you have.
Speaker 3: To, No i'm never opposed to trading a picture on
Speaker 3: full value at almost any because they're literally one pitch
Speaker 3: away from things going south in a. Hurry so if
Speaker 3: you can improve your team by multiple players for one,
Speaker 3: ace like a, Schemes i'm all for. IT i, AGREE
Speaker 3: i think it's a, blip BUT i think it's not
Speaker 3: the worst strategic move to make.
Speaker 1: Either, yeah it's just something to pay attention. To, unfortunately
Speaker 1: it could be too later the you, know things go.
Speaker 1: Down BUT i do worry about THE vlo being down
Speaker 1: in that same. Game just, OVERALL i want to talk
Speaker 1: about a few closers. HERE Aj puck ended up getting a.
Speaker 1: Save it's so funny because a we had been asked,
Speaker 1: like Is Paul sywald going to lose his? Job AND
Speaker 1: i Think lee was bringing it up IF i said,
Speaker 1: no it's Because Tory leavello has continuously said, no As
Speaker 1: Paul sewald has been bad and bad and, bad and
Speaker 1: he just keeps. Going should They? Yes then they did.
Speaker 1: So Ryan thompson got the start of the, save kind
Speaker 1: of As bogman had been talking, about but then he
Speaker 1: got in a little bit of. TROUBLE Aj puck comes
Speaker 1: in and he gets this so he and he called
Speaker 1: on him by the way against O'Neal, cruz which made
Speaker 1: a lot of, sense but it, was you, know a
Speaker 1: bunch of. Fastball he got into three zero count got
Speaker 1: out of. It. BOOM Aj puck gets the. Same do
Speaker 1: you believe because there's an opening now for This diamondbacks,
Speaker 1: bullpen it has gone to multiple different. Spot Ryan thompson
Speaker 1: seemed to be the first go. TO i thought it
Speaker 1: would Be, ginkle but then in trouble he went To.
Speaker 1: Puck do you Think puck is going to get the
Speaker 1: next opportunity for The? Diamondbacks one hundred.
Speaker 3: Percent on a recent EPISODE i do On thursdays With Ryan,
Speaker 3: bloomfield we talked plenty about we are in favor OF
Speaker 3: Aj puck on this. ONE i think he's the best
Speaker 3: reliever in the. Bullpen When seawall got, demoted it really
Speaker 3: lined up. Beautifully when you look At puck's season, numbers
Speaker 3: if you get rid of these, starts just bullpen, Numbers
Speaker 3: dude's been out, standing absolutely, Great SO i think he
Speaker 3: should slot into.
Speaker 2: It.
Speaker 3: Now you, Know thompson got the first few, cracks so
Speaker 3: he looks like he's he's going to be the guy for,
Speaker 3: now but long, term if you had to say who
Speaker 3: ends the season with more, SAVES i got my money
Speaker 3: ON Aj.
Speaker 1: Puck i'm really torn because as LIKE i, Know i'm
Speaker 1: a diamondback, guy But Tory, lavello he's a total wild.
Speaker 1: Card when he gets is stuck into, something he's a huge.
Speaker 1: Paint like he was A. Seawald he just Liked seawall
Speaker 1: kept screwing up and kept screwing, up and Then Ryan
Speaker 1: thompson gets put in that position kind of screws. UP i,
Speaker 1: AGREE i think the stuff makes the most sense FOR Aj,
Speaker 1: puck but he is one of their lefties out of the.
Speaker 1: Bullpen i'm not sold on any of these, guys AND
Speaker 1: i Think puck might have earned a spot to get
Speaker 1: that next. One So i'm comfortable picking UP Aj. Puck
Speaker 1: so let's go against this because the other guy that
Speaker 1: got to save this, week and we've been talking ABOUT
Speaker 1: i had been, mentioning Was Ben. Joyce as The angels
Speaker 1: traded off their, pieces Ben joyce ended up picking up
Speaker 1: a save in one and one third of an, inning
Speaker 1: which by the, way is VERY Aj puck like because
Speaker 1: he can go. Two but here is the. Deal he
Speaker 1: ended the game on AN fm music radio station one
Speaker 1: oh four point. SEVEN i think it, was SO i,
Speaker 1: Mean i'm gonna call HIM fm from now. On For Ben,
Speaker 1: joyce it was one oh four point. Seven he ended
Speaker 1: the fastest pitch of the. SEASON i believe ended that
Speaker 1: game on the. Strikeout so moving, forward would you Want Ben,
Speaker 1: joyce who you do know that it's gonna have limited save,
Speaker 1: opportunities or would you speculate on a guy LIKE Aj
Speaker 1: puck for The. Diamondbacks let's assume both of those are
Speaker 1: available to.
Speaker 3: You, OH i Take Ben joyce all. DAY i was
Speaker 3: Taking Ben joyce before this they had The Luis garcia smoke.
Speaker 3: Screen he gets traded To. Boston then they come out
Speaker 3: With Hunter strickland And, hey as A giants, fan yeah no,
Speaker 3: dead ain't?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 3: Doug and we SAW i got brought in in the
Speaker 3: seventh inning On saturday night Before Ben joyce got to.
Speaker 3: Save both were out of commission On sunday because they
Speaker 3: worked a. Ton that's Why rosey got his second. Safe
Speaker 3: so don't look into that too. Much Ben joyce is
Speaker 3: by far the, better really really best probably reliever and
Speaker 3: The angels. Bullpen the only Concern Ron. Washington he's an.
Speaker 3: Old he also said he likes His he Likes joyce
Speaker 3: to be the leverage guy that will also get. Saves
Speaker 3: we've seen this With baldelli and stuff in the. Past
Speaker 3: that's the only. Caveat BUT i Think i'll Take Ben.
Speaker 2: Joyce he's in to.
Speaker 1: Go to an am station when he the old is
Speaker 1: going to. Goal Ben joyce one oh four point Seven Ben,
Speaker 1: Joyce that's WHAT i. Want so, YEAH i like. That
Speaker 1: if we had a guarantee That puck was the, dude
Speaker 1: it'd Be puck for. Me because of the team. Context
Speaker 1: i'm still not. SOLD i don't think you've Seen Paul
Speaker 1: sewall get his last save attempt this year, Either Howroy
Speaker 1: lavello is SO i. DON'T i think one THING i
Speaker 1: have said about Aj puck is he is the. FIREMAN
Speaker 1: i think they're gonna put him in the biggest leverage,
Speaker 1: situation so that's not. Guaranteed but will that fireman situation
Speaker 1: give him as many save opportunities As Ben joyce with The.
Speaker 1: Angels that's legitimately something to think, about and that's why
Speaker 1: he could be. Good But Ben joyce is kind of
Speaker 1: guaranteed as the. Guy Jackson, HOLIDAY i feel good about
Speaker 1: this ever since sticking to my laurels here With Jackson,
Speaker 1: holiday even though he had, struggled Said i'm gonna still
Speaker 1: roll with. It hit Another homer a walk in a
Speaker 1: solo shot against The guardians On, sunday AND i think
Speaker 1: we're kind of safe to. Go he simplified his. SWING
Speaker 1: i think he shortened it out a little. Bit he's
Speaker 1: starting to make good contact and he's got a hold
Speaker 1: of that. Spot Jackson, HOLIDAY i think is someone we
Speaker 1: can just hold on to that level of trust through
Speaker 1: the rest of the, year as much as you can
Speaker 1: with any of those. Guys but at this, POINT i
Speaker 1: think he's like a no doubt. Start if you had
Speaker 1: held on to him right.
Speaker 3: One hundred, percent you know it's a, Shocker, WELSH i
Speaker 3: know you would understand. THIS a young player fails his first,
Speaker 3: time goes and works on, things comes, back he might
Speaker 3: actually still be. Good it's a novel. CONCEPT i know
Speaker 3: it's tough for, people AND i know it's only one,
Speaker 3: week so let's not get the cart fully ahead of
Speaker 3: the worst, here but he does look a lot.
Speaker 2: Better i'm hundred with.
Speaker 3: YOU i put fab in on him this. Week WHEREVER
Speaker 3: i had fab available first time, AROUND i did. NOT
Speaker 3: i was not breaking the, bank BUT i was interested
Speaker 3: this time. Around AND i think he's going to start every.
Speaker 3: Day westburgy's gonna be out pretty much for the. Year
Speaker 3: mateo's out till probably mid to Late, september if not the.
Speaker 3: Year there's no Reason Jackson holiday outside of The oriels
Speaker 3: Getting goofy shouldn't play every, day, no.
Speaker 1: Sir so let's put to the test here for a.
Speaker 1: Minute one of the hottest hitters over the last two
Speaker 1: weeks still has a combined roster percentage that is under
Speaker 1: fifty let's call it under sixty. Percent Between yahoo AND.
Speaker 1: Espn we have a feature On Fantasy pros that will
Speaker 1: give you can either check INDIVIDUAL, Espn yahoo or you
Speaker 1: can do a consensus between the. Two we also know
Speaker 1: what that, MEANS espn What yahoo. UP espn always lags.
Speaker 1: Behind So i'm not saying this guy is one hundred percent,
Speaker 1: available but let's do. This Tyler fitzgerald one of the
Speaker 1: absolute freaking hottest. Hitters yesterday two for four with a
Speaker 1: two run home, er two runs. Score that was On
Speaker 1: sunday against The reds In july hitting three twenty, one eight,
Speaker 1: homers FIFTEEN, rbi one stolen, base and so far In
Speaker 1: august he's up to three eighty five with two more,
Speaker 1: homers fifty three percent combined roster percentage rest of. Season
Speaker 1: Mister Casey, bubba who would you rather? Have Jackson holiday
Speaker 1: Or Tyler. Fitzgerald i'm gonna go with. You shut it down.
Speaker 3: Here, yeah it's just tough Because i'm a Big i'm
Speaker 3: a believer in. BOTH i Think fitzgerald's gonna come back To,
Speaker 3: earth BUT i Think earth is still. Good i'll Take
Speaker 3: i'll Take fitzgerald and just. One he had a better
Speaker 3: spot in the order Where holiday's kind of down in
Speaker 3: the order because the oils are so. Good that's a
Speaker 3: very good toss, up AND i love using those roster.
Speaker 3: Rates that's HOW i. Do my waiver will call them
Speaker 3: For Fantasy pros that comes out On. Saturdays so it's
Speaker 3: a very interesting. Dynamic i'm Going, fitzgerald but extremely.
Speaker 1: Close, okay how about one. More let's Throw Xavier edwards in.
Speaker 2: THERE i like.
Speaker 1: This it's a little bit different because of. This it's
Speaker 1: a stolen base. Chase But holiday is kind of Between
Speaker 1: edwards fifty six percent combined roster, percentage hitting four forty
Speaker 1: nine over the last fifteen days with a homer and
Speaker 1: eight stolen. Bases so order them.
Speaker 3: ME i Love edwards and leagues where you need steals
Speaker 3: and batting. Average SO i THINK i Have Edwards Fitzgerald.
Speaker 3: Holiday weirdly, enough just because of already fits Over. HOLIDAY
Speaker 3: i Think edwards brings and he already showed a little
Speaker 3: bit more power to last like ten days that he showed.
Speaker 3: Before i'll Think edwards as the leading. OFF i know
Speaker 3: it's about leading off every. Day i'll Take.
Speaker 2: Edwards.
Speaker 3: OKAY i still lean like they're all very close and very.
Speaker 3: Long they all offer something different kind of to the.
Speaker 1: TABLE i feel Like holiday is like the best combination
Speaker 1: of all of. It he does hit a little bit
Speaker 1: lower in the line of those other two guys you
Speaker 1: feel like would be more, guaranteed But, holiday like you,
Speaker 1: said with the, injuries he's kind of locked. In those
Speaker 1: are all three really great.
Speaker 3: Options what's Fun welsh has come you Know February. March
Speaker 3: holiday is going to go about one hundred pick higher
Speaker 3: than all of. Them so didn't drafts and right Now
Speaker 3: i'm sitting here saying he's third in the.
Speaker 2: Group so there you.
Speaker 1: Go well tell the Fd sherald's one of the sneakiest out.
Speaker 1: There so if he's, available all those guys should be picked.
Speaker 1: Up also in the roster percentage world under forty percent
Speaker 1: combined roster, Percentage Josh bell And Iohannil swarez with The.
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks just want to point out they have a combined
Speaker 1: thirteen homers. Between Josh bell has been red, hot LIKE i,
Speaker 1: said great spot for him to be with The. Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: some definite hitters that you can pick up that are
Speaker 1: probably out there available in the, market a little bit
Speaker 1: of a rookie. Lookie White sox are planning to Promote
Speaker 1: Kay busch From TRIPLE. A he's going to be starting
Speaker 1: against The a's. Today he's going to be making his
Speaker 1: major league. Debut bush had struggled it in his couple
Speaker 1: outings since he's been up In TRIPLE. A solidest, pitcher
Speaker 1: but like The White, sox they, lose So i'm not you,
Speaker 1: know he's kind of more of a control. Guy Former
Speaker 1: angels farm. Hand i'm not super into. IT i wouldn't
Speaker 1: be into Any White sox streaming. Pitcher and then also
Speaker 1: we'll talking about it in the injuries. Here in just
Speaker 1: a tiny, Bit Victor scott is coming back and he's
Speaker 1: going to be back up in the majors because they just.
Speaker 1: Lost The cardinals are Losing mike siani w there's been
Speaker 1: one of their better defensive. Outfielders is there any love
Speaker 1: For Victor scott if you're chasing stolen? Bases i'm just
Speaker 1: not sure he's going to get the playing. Time but.
Speaker 3: NOTHING i don't think he's get playing, time but consistent.
Speaker 3: Enough and then it's, like, yeah he's got the on
Speaker 3: nine steels And TRIPLE. A dude's still hitting two. Twenty
Speaker 3: he's hitting two forty In, july Like he's going to
Speaker 3: crush you in almost every other. Department if you're just chasing, steels,
Speaker 3: like go Get Xavier. EDWARDS i know it's different, positions
Speaker 3: but go Goet, Edwards go Get Jackson. Holiday there's a
Speaker 3: lot of other. OPTIONS i Just i'm not doing The
Speaker 3: Victor scott. THING i didn't do it the first.
Speaker 2: Time i'm not doing it.
Speaker 1: AGAIN i definitely did it the first time, because LIKE
Speaker 1: i think he is an insanely hard. Worker, ALSO i
Speaker 1: MEAN i can get skewed by LIKE i interview the
Speaker 1: guy AND i talked to, him but like his bat
Speaker 1: was really coming. Along he was hitting some homers in
Speaker 1: THE afl and then it just. Regressed but as it,
Speaker 1: does as it, Does that's that's the developmental. Part the
Speaker 1: problem was actually similar To Jackson holiday when he went back,
Speaker 1: down just. Struggled Zass off just absolutely. Struggled that's What
Speaker 1: holiday did, Too so there's this really weird adjustment. Period
Speaker 1: unfortunately at this, point like he just doesn't have any
Speaker 1: type of projectable. Power it's similar To Xavier. Edward that's
Speaker 1: actually the that's the goofy. Thing and why you say,
Speaker 1: That like why speculate On scott If edwards we're out.
Speaker 1: There edwards is exactly like what you would hope out
Speaker 1: of Getting Victor, scott and it's just not happening right.
Speaker 1: Now so UNLESS i was desperate for stolen, BASES i
Speaker 1: don't Think i'm in that market as. Well three up
Speaker 1: and three? Down will your bray you two for four
Speaker 1: two homers with FOUR rbi under twenty. PERCENT i want
Speaker 1: to point out combined roster percentage Between yahoo AND espn right,
Speaker 1: now Will you're a bray? You that's a? Must, okay
Speaker 1: now throw Will you're into that? Group that little sandwich
Speaker 1: group we had before Of, Fitzgerald edwards And Jackson. Holiday
Speaker 1: where does he?
Speaker 2: Fit i'd have Will youer Behind?
Speaker 3: Edwards So, Edwards, Willier Fitzgerald, HOLIDAY i love will you'er
Speaker 3: the only Caveat he'll sit vers, lefties but he destroys
Speaker 3: right hand and, pitching as we saw On. Sunday so
Speaker 3: if if it's a good week to stream them like
Speaker 3: last week was and this, WEEK i evely have four
Speaker 3: or five righties Like william's. Awesome he even steal last
Speaker 3: week and he usually had some, Basis SO i like
Speaker 3: Will you're a?
Speaker 1: Lot there's actually been some really good uh split. Guys
Speaker 1: Doug Jock peterson is one of the most ridiculous bats
Speaker 1: that they have just honed in Against RIGHTY'S i, mean
Speaker 1: and he's going to probably end with twenty plus. Homers
Speaker 1: but you, know the split kind of scares people. OFF
Speaker 1: i DON'T i really don't think you should be scared
Speaker 1: of of full on split, players especially when they're. SUCCEEDING
Speaker 1: i would probably put will your, yeah, maybe LIKE i
Speaker 1: actually might put him at the bottom of this because of,
Speaker 1: That but like IF i don't care about the stolen,
Speaker 1: BASES i could Move edwards. DOWN i don't. Know he might.
Speaker 1: Be he might be the best player of, these even
Speaker 1: Including Jackson. Holiday but he's another great, pickup really low
Speaker 1: owned and just had a great. Weekend so there's a
Speaker 1: ton of low on.
Speaker 3: Guys like people need to go check out in Their
Speaker 3: yahoo leagues, especially.
Speaker 2: Like that's pretty.
Speaker 1: Awesome, YEAH, espn they just they're zero. Percent it's. Crazy
Speaker 1: spencer is speaking of zero, percent Probably Spencer arraghetty start
Speaker 1: percentage this. Weekend he went six, innings struck out twelve
Speaker 1: and then ALSO i did get on the board this
Speaker 1: weekend BECAUSE i had A Gunner henderson. Weekend Gunner henderson
Speaker 1: three for four with a homer and TWO. Rbi on the,
Speaker 1: Down Max freed were turns from the, iel only goes
Speaker 1: three and one third of an, inning gives up five
Speaker 1: and runs and walks. Five disastrous start off the. Eel
Speaker 1: is that just simply the don't start the dude off
Speaker 1: THE il thing or is there anything else With? Max for?
Speaker 3: You it WAS i think it's more of THE il,
Speaker 3: thing because you, know four arm, issues walk. Issues he
Speaker 3: was pitching really well before he got, hurt didn't really
Speaker 3: have a rehab.
Speaker 2: Start it was kind of a weird fluky.
Speaker 3: Thing So i'm gonna not like, say, okay it was
Speaker 3: coming off THE, il But i'm definitely watching his next start.
Speaker 1: Closely, Yeah i'm a little concerned about it as, well
Speaker 1: just also because like as soon as The braves take
Speaker 1: one step and then they just four steps, back just
Speaker 1: absolute four steps. Back so The braves in general are
Speaker 1: not something to Trust Max, FREE i will give Like
Speaker 1: Max freed was just stacking great starts on top of
Speaker 1: each other and then he gets hurt and then you,
Speaker 1: know this one comes. In but we've seen those walk
Speaker 1: things become an issue. Also Gavin williams struggled he went
Speaker 1: for he did strike out. Eight they gave up six
Speaker 1: runs an eight hits yesterday and A Dooley. Garcia this is.
Speaker 1: Wild Adolice garcia oh for four with three. Strikeouts probably
Speaker 1: not too, surprising but it's A Doolee garcia has not
Speaker 1: had a month where he has hit over two hundred Since.
Speaker 1: April that is now. FULL i, mean Obviously august isn't,
Speaker 1: done but we are four straight months in of him
Speaker 1: hitting sub two. Hundred, yep just when everybody was back,
Speaker 1: in every me and Spour i just did a sleeper
Speaker 1: in the bus last. Week we were talking and joking
Speaker 1: about how it was, like, oh you, know we never
Speaker 1: every year it was, like, nah Does garcia is gonna break?
Speaker 1: Apart it's not gonna. Work and then finally like third,
Speaker 1: year it was doing. Great now we walk in this,
Speaker 1: year we're, like all, Right Adolies garcia is awesome And
Speaker 1: Adolice garcia has been garbage this. Year, BUBBA i ask,
Speaker 1: you would you drop A Dolee garcia For willier Or
Speaker 1: Xavier Tyler fitzgerald just to keep with our. Theme it's
Speaker 1: on the.
Speaker 3: TABLE i would Say i'm leaning towards. You, Yes i've
Speaker 3: written them up recently in my risers and followers For
Speaker 3: Fantasy pros as a, foller AND i always try to
Speaker 3: get some of these guys a surprise. You but it's
Speaker 3: been that, Bad like it's been really. Bad didn't get
Speaker 3: any better last week either AS i started to write my.
Speaker 1: New call him last month or the month after.
Speaker 3: That it's, literally we have two months to, go and
Speaker 3: if you're in the headhead your playoffs are starting. Soon
Speaker 3: he's crushing. You i've been benching him in my roto.
Speaker 3: Leagues literally he's on the IF i have other people to,
Speaker 3: drop he's on the chopping. Block So i'm with. YOU
Speaker 3: i think it's a great. Point it's one of those
Speaker 3: players we joke About ryan AND i call Him Jean
Speaker 3: Sigar award where you just plug them in and you
Speaker 3: just assume they're doing. Well did you look at their
Speaker 3: stat Line you're, like oh, no this is. Horrible so,
Speaker 3: yeah he's one that probably should be out of your
Speaker 3: lineup at best.
Speaker 1: Dropped most likely he cannot. Start he cannot. Start BUT
Speaker 1: i legit think we're in that range for a lot
Speaker 1: of you guys THAT i, mean good, lord if you
Speaker 1: guys are In rodo and you've been rolling out a.
Speaker 1: Dullies that's a pretty rough. Go but LIKE i, think
Speaker 1: you can just move. On you can just move forward
Speaker 1: if you have. To it, hurts and it's gonna stink
Speaker 1: if he goes on some big crazy, tear but it
Speaker 1: hasn't happened for three and a half. Months and if
Speaker 1: now you don't want to go and do it where
Speaker 1: you're just picking up something a. Lah but, Listen Jack,
Speaker 1: peterson it's like sixteen seventeen home runs RBI's Will. Yard
Speaker 1: what'd you, Say Victor, robols stuff like, that that they're out. There,
Speaker 1: yeah they are out. There, yeah if you search, them
Speaker 1: they will make your team. Better so get rid Of Adulie.
Speaker 1: Garcia unfortunately at this point not hit two hundred Since
Speaker 1: april blows my. Mind some injury, Stuff. Twins they announced
Speaker 1: That Byron buxton's exit On, sunday all the holding of
Speaker 1: the breath against The White, sox it was just a precautionary.
Speaker 1: Measure nothing is really actually precautionary With Byron. Buxton we
Speaker 1: all assume the worst as we, should but it looks
Speaker 1: like he's gonna end up being. OKAY i mentioned it
Speaker 1: With Mike Sianni, cardinals replacing him on the il ten
Speaker 1: day al with a right oblique. Strain those some bleaks
Speaker 1: usually aren't ten, days So Victor scott might be up
Speaker 1: for a little. Bit and, that you know the other
Speaker 1: THING i point, Out Jordan walker has been pretty good
Speaker 1: and he's been on a nice ten day TERROR i
Speaker 1: should have probably pulled up the stats. Here they didn't
Speaker 1: bring him up because, obviously like they probably feel their,
Speaker 1: Set they've got a glut of guys Like tommy Fam Alec,
Speaker 1: Burlson Oh, God Brendan. Donovan they've been putting out there
Speaker 1: And i'm forgetting. Somebody i'm forgetting somebody important that they have.
Speaker 1: There but if they're looking for a little bit of
Speaker 1: a push in the bat Or victor doesn't get it,
Speaker 1: DONE i just wouldn't be shocked to See Jordan walker
Speaker 1: with that, offense and he'd be SOMEONE i would pick
Speaker 1: up if he gets if that does end up. Happening
Speaker 1: Yandy diez was removed From sunday's game against The astros
Speaker 1: with a left wrist, contusion And Justin verlander through a
Speaker 1: simulated game On sunday against The similar before The sunday's
Speaker 1: game against The rays could begin a rehab assignment In,
Speaker 1: august which means he wouldn't be back until probably close to.
Speaker 1: Set will you trust him if he comes back In,
Speaker 1: september right at the, playoffs right at the end Of.
Speaker 1: Rodo i'm terrified Of Justin? Verlander but will you start
Speaker 1: him right out the? Gates, like would you be prioritizing
Speaker 1: having him if somehow you, know people are just throwing
Speaker 1: it out and dumping him and he's just not sitting. Around,
Speaker 1: no he's a no for, me.
Speaker 3: Dog i've just been staying like you haven't stayed far,
Speaker 3: Away LIKE i took my chances on Sures.
Speaker 2: Er that was.
Speaker 3: Fun and now he's already you, know having dead arm these,
Speaker 3: GUYS i Can i'll wait and see how that.
Speaker 1: Goes i'm not doing it. Either i'm really not super.
Speaker 1: Interested WHAT i am interested in is seeing What bubba's
Speaker 1: got on some bets for the, Day because, yes, friends
Speaker 1: it's Not Joe Pi zapia right, there but it is
Speaker 1: the best bets of the day with The welsh And
Speaker 1: Casey bubba brought to you By bet three six y
Speaker 1: five promo code leading off use that today it's The
Speaker 1: bet three sixty five X fantasy pros ex betting pros
Speaker 1: bets of the day on The Baseball. World mister Case,
Speaker 1: bubba who and what and whom and where are you
Speaker 1: going to be putting some cash on some baseball bets?
Speaker 3: Today as most listeners should know by, Now i'm a
Speaker 3: big fan of the prop Bet world and we did
Speaker 3: pretty good last week and he gets good plus money ones,
Speaker 3: here SO i want to get some, big big plus moneies.
Speaker 3: Here Katl marte has been on absolute, fire as The welsh.
Speaker 3: Knows The diamondbacks are facing Lefty Logan, allen which is,
Speaker 3: Beautiful so give me Katel marte over half AN rbi
Speaker 3: for plus one. Fifty i'll take my odds. There Jake
Speaker 3: berger has been almost unconscious at the plate of late
Speaker 3: and the second half of the season has been. Great
Speaker 3: The marlins are facing A red's bullpen, game most likely
Speaker 3: in this, one so give Me Jake berger over half
Speaker 3: AN rbi at plus one. Ninety i'll take my chances
Speaker 3: at those. Odds and then you Mentioned Tyler fitzgerald earlier
Speaker 3: in the. Show welsh and The giants head into The
Speaker 3: nation's capital to take on One Patrick corbyn, Today so
Speaker 3: give Me Tyler fitzgerald over two and a half runs
Speaker 3: hits AND rbi is at plus one thirty on the,
Speaker 3: Day so three plus bunny, ODDS i think at least
Speaker 3: two out of, three hopefully all, three and you're sitting.
Speaker 1: PRETTY i will tell You joe likes to do the
Speaker 1: PLUS RB i bets. TOO i don't love the R i.
Speaker 1: Bets WHAT i love WHEN i like AN RB i
Speaker 1: bet is to go and check out what the run
Speaker 1: number looks, like And i'd rather play the run. Number
Speaker 1: it's going to be lower as.
Speaker 2: The same most of. Those most of those are.
Speaker 1: Negative, yeah and that's the same as like total bases
Speaker 1: are better than hit RUN. Rbi so that's how like
Speaker 1: we would kind of adjust. THOSE i love the idea
Speaker 1: of Kateel marte on the. Run THE rbi is a
Speaker 1: really slick. One it's my favorite one of all of.
Speaker 1: Them The Tyler fitzgerald one is a little scary because
Speaker 1: it's a bigger. Number but you know what you said
Speaker 1: it last week when they were. There, yeah you know
Speaker 1: it's What homer cash is? It or you know it
Speaker 1: just has a SIMPLE i, mean if there are two
Speaker 1: men on and he gets a hit two and a,
Speaker 1: half it's just a bigger. NUMBER i also have a
Speaker 1: prop bet That i'm going to go in and it
Speaker 1: is in The diamondback but it's a, game but it's
Speaker 1: not with The. Diamondbacks it's actually one Of Betting pros
Speaker 1: prop cheat sheet top. PLAYS i gotta tell, YOU i
Speaker 1: have been paying attention to, them And i've been, monitoring
Speaker 1: like you, know usually like the top three or four
Speaker 1: AND i go to AND i switch the tab to total.
Speaker 1: BASES i particularly almost exclusively only work in the total
Speaker 1: base and strikeout. MARKET i don't mess around with the
Speaker 1: runs too. Much Sometimes i'll get cheeky And i'll do
Speaker 1: like a stolen, base but it's like total bases and
Speaker 1: strikeouts for. Me and one of the top total base
Speaker 1: props for the day according to the prop cheat sheet
Speaker 1: over At Betting, pros which you can check out app or,
Speaker 1: online Is Jose ramirez total, basis it's plus, money it's
Speaker 1: hitting eight of fifteen. Games it Is Zach, allen But
Speaker 1: Zach allen has been a little bit, dicey and it
Speaker 1: is In, cleveland which we know from a left handed
Speaker 1: perspective where he should be has been one of the
Speaker 1: best ballpark. Factors so plus one and a half total,
Speaker 1: bases it's like plus one. FIFTEEN i love that, Number
Speaker 1: So i'm gonna Take Jose ramirez on, that AND i
Speaker 1: got a couple other game Lines minnesota And chicago over eight.
Speaker 1: Runs someone, asked what do we think About David, Festa no,
Speaker 1: thanks no thanks On Kyle, hendrix no thanks On david Fest.
Speaker 1: TO i think we're gonna have runs being. Scored So
Speaker 1: i'm taking the over eight Runs minnesota And chicago. Today
Speaker 1: that's minus one. Ten But i'm going to take an
Speaker 1: under In, Houston houston And. Texas we've Got heeney and
Speaker 1: we've Got Hunter. Brown give me under four and a
Speaker 1: half runs to the first five, innings so that's a
Speaker 1: first five bet at minus one. Twenty so, again Jusierro
Speaker 1: mayre's total Bases, Minnesota chicago over and the total game
Speaker 1: in The, Houston, Texas houston And. Texas that's tough to.
Speaker 1: Say it sounds like the football team under first five

Speaker 1: Rbi Jake berger OVER, rbi And Tyler fitzgerald two and
Speaker 1: a half hit RUN rbi over and. Frindoze those are

Speaker 1: Bet Brent. Rooker i'm gonna go With Royce Royce. Lewis
Speaker 1: Royce lewis at a homer this past. Weekend he's starting
Speaker 1: to pick back. UP i think someone was mentioning wins
Speaker 1: are blowing. In i'm worried About Royce, lewis so give
Speaker 1: me The Royce lewis home run. Call, Obviously Jose ramirez
Speaker 1: is in my brain a little, bit BUT i will
Speaker 1: try to get up on the board a little bit.
Speaker 1: More speaking Of by the, way the home run board
Speaker 1: currently looking like, This wonky had a great weekend is
Speaker 1: now eleventh on the. Board number one is El scale
Speaker 1: at thirty, Nine Silent dragon at thirty, seven B trot
