Here Garrett 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.880 cole odd six, hits two runs and five and two 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.600 thirds On sunday against The Blue, jays struck out, four 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.679 didn't walk a. Batter this was in a no. Decision 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:49.799 talk to me About Garrett. Cole we are in a 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.040 weird spot WHERE i don't know the application for a 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.280 lot of people is for especially some of these higher end. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.880 Pitchers you, know we're gonna talk about schemes here right after, 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.640 this but you, know is there anything from this start 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.000 that gleans more confidence To Gearrett, cole anything that gets more? 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.440 Worries the strikeouts are still kind of, down but he's 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.400 still managed as long as he doesn't play The, mets 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:10.600 he's still. Managing. 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.239 Well, Yeah and that's the biggest thing in the world 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:14.880 where we're going to see a lot of guys get shut. 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.320 Down any limits a lot. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:18.920 Of volatility and pitching in, general and we see that 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.679 get worse and worse Into september every season with the 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.000 young arms coming into. Play you just keep rolling With. 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.600 Cole he's, gonna you, know have his really good. Starts 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.400 team might have some questionable ones like The, mets but 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.120 overall he's gonna bring a great floor to any fantasy 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:32.919 team and he has to deal with. It you got 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.840 to remember he missed like half the. Season this is 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.240 who he, is and this is, like this is this. 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.720 Floor that's an outstanding, Option so go with. 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.920 That he had the fastball was upticked about a half 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.600 a mile per hour in the, game WHICH i think 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.200 is a fantastic sign that's exactly what you want to. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.280 See he was also throwing his cutter a little bit, 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.120 harder but he just wasn't getting, whiffs AND i, THINK i, 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.880 mean this is a tough. Team The Blue jays are 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.200 one of, those Like i'll say this a lot handful 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.720 of teams you're trying to like play like the k, 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.440 market or you're just looking for big. Strikeouts you probably 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.640 don't want to stack up pitchers going up against like 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.840 The Blue, jays The, guardians The nationals And diamondbacks a 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.760 little bit like those are the teams that don't put 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.760 up big strikeout. Numbers But cole only had a fourteen 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.159 percent with rate in this. One Four we're actually off the, 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.520 fastball but none of his secondary stuff did. It is 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:24.719 there a scenario where you're not starting him and or 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.000 are you in the space at this point In august 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:30.920 maybe roto head to head plays a little bit different 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.640 where you're gonna be pickier about your starts or are 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.320 you just Going BECAUSE i know it's a little bit 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.320 dicey right now with ratios week to, WEEK i guess 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.080 head to head makes it really tough but are you 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.320 willing to be pickier with your starts moving? Forward and 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:45.440 how does that apply To Garrett. 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.240 COLE i am being much pickier with my starts. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.640 Period LIKE i, Know Kevin gosman's Not Garrett, cole BUT 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.680 i still Believe gosmin has something to give to the. 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.960 Table but also we've seen, disasters So i've been picking 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.000 and choosing Sitting Gossman. Cole on the other, hand you, 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.480 know there's probably less than ten teams in baseball i'd 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:02.240 sit him against right. 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:03.520 NOW i just roll them out. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.000 There but, yeah to your, question if it is a 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.279 tough matchup AND i and it also, depends do you 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.520 have better options on the bench Than Garrett cole in? 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.039 Matchups so it's a definitely team dependant and people hate that, 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:18.520 answer BUT i would would not be opposed to Sitting Garrett. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.400 Cole it just has to be the perfect storm to 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:21.000 Sit Garrett. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.440 Cole by the, way speaking of The, yankees is there 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:25.960 here's another? Bet CAN i get a bet Of Glaber 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.480 torres being on a new team Starting january? First that's 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.640 got to be minus twelve thousand right, now Because Glabor torres, 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.400 done he does not want to be. 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.000 There Aaron boone does not want him. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.080 There there's just so many layers to glabor torres not 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:40.800 existing in. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.200 Pinstripes what way they. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.560 DIDN'T i, mean maybe this is like the market didn't make. Sense, 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.320 you're you, know you're trying to. Play you need as 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.560 much depth as. Possible but, LIKE i don't, know he 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.000 seemed like a guy that needed to be out of. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.400 THERE i just think it's. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.240 One percent percent he's going to definitely be out of 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.280 way versus just a matter does anybody take that. 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.279 Chance Paul schemes was a little bit more human against 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.320 The Arizona, dimicks probably the most like frustrating of. Starts 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.320 he led five, hits two runs against The. Diamondbacks he's still, amazing, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.320 though but he walked, three only struck out four in 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:15.360 a no. Decision And splinker was a little bit less. 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.600 Effective and that's the thing that you, know he is 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.839 continuously just, remixed if you, Will he's remixed his pitch 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.480 arsenal in starts where he can go heavy, fastball he 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.520 can go heavy, splinker and he can just kind of 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.279 keep moving between. Them i'm trying to pull up the saffant. 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:30.800 Page here we. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.640 Go it was just blocked by. Me but While i'm doing, 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.039 that talk to me about schemes in this. Start, again 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.719 this is another one of those guys THAT i don't 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.720 think he's ever gonna. QUALIFY i don't even know what 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.080 the qualifier would. Be but he looked a little bit more. 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.920 Human SO i guess maybe the question is is are 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:50.280 we starting to take a step into the territory of, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.400 like you've pitched the most innings you've done in the 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.000 major leagues and we're going to backtrack a tiny. Bit 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.040 do you think we're stepping into that or it's just a. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.240 Night you, know Diving backs are a tough offensive team 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:00.520 to pitch. 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.040 Against that's WHAT i was gonna, say is This diamondbacks 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.120 team striking out less than twenty percent of the time 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.080 versus rieties over the last, Month, LIKE i don't think 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.880 closer to seventeen percent of the, time which is amazing 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.960 for any. Team they're hitting for like a two fifty 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.600 to two sixty average tons of, Power, LIKE i think 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.640 it's just a very good offense for one to Give 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.480 skiens the benefit of the doubt, There And i'm willing 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.400 to say it's an off night for the, Kid like 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.600 the dude has been so insanely. Good, like if you 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.680 expected them to be that good the entire, season you're 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.760 just living in a fairy tale. World you need to 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.280 go Watch dead Pulling wolverine again or, something because it 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.680 just doesn't make. Sense the guy is. GREAT i think 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.000 he's still going to be. Good they've, mentioned you, know 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.520 maybe skipping a, day giving him an extra day here. 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.360 There they've already kind of talked about that because of. 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.600 Pirates surprisingly still in contention for a wild card, spot 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.920 so that's the fun stuff. Here i'm not too concerned about. 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.240 It they want him to the finish. LINE i think 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.240 we could see a cy young and definitely A rookie 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.080 of The year in skiings AND i just call it 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:57.840 a blip on the, radar and if this is his bad, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:58.960 starts we're just. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:07:59.320 Fine. 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.600 YEAH i Mean i'll use like big minus numbers, sometimes 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.360 just like for. Effect but he's like literally like minus 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.520 six thousand For rookie of The, Year SO i mean 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.720 he is like literally the favorite for. It here'd be 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.760 the only Thing i'd point. Out and the Reason i'm 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.640 bringing this up is like most fantasy trade deadlines are not. 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.240 DONE i do have one that ended this past weekend 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.720 the Long term twenty FOURTEEN Cbs Scott White league THAT i, 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.560 do but everyone else is like still, active and the 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.440 only thing to bring up is, like is it the? 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.320 TIME i mean, it, ideally this isn't the time it 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.199 should have been. Before but if he is going to taper, 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.280 down do you want to be looking at making a? 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.640 MOVE i will tell you everything was down in this. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.920 Start his fastball was down almost one full mile per, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.360 hour which you, KNOW i, mean he still throws it incredibly, 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.920 hard but sinker was down or they define it. Weirdly 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.480 obviously that's like the, splinker splinker the sinker and change. 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.080 Up that's how like baseball savant will kind of look 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.800 at it, sometimes but we know what it. Is and 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.840 the whift rates were, okay but the zone rate there's 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.520 something to point. Out so that's why this was kind 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.400 of like an off, start and you can look at. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.960 It but he only had a thirty eight percent fastball zone, 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:12.320 rate a thirty percent for part of the they call 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.199 it again the, sinker the, splinker a thirty percent zone, 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.000 rate so he couldn't throw that. Thing so, again is 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.240 there something where if you could move? Off would you 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.560 look at moving. Off the problem is is like they're 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.520 gonna let him go the whole way. Through it's just 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.920 are we starting to step into the decline at the 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.960 back half of the, year or just you, know did 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.839 The diamondbacks make the. Blip i'm inclined to say that 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.280 it's a, blip BUT i do think it's enough to 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.760 pay attention to that not only was not only was 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:46.120 the control an, issue but the actual velocity was down 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.160 a little. Bit so you, know if you, DON'T i 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.760 don't think it would hurt anybody to move off for full, 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.480 value But i'm not saying you have. 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:58.520 To, No i'm never opposed to trading a picture on 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.120 full value at almost any because they're literally one pitch 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.160 away from things going south in a. Hurry so if 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.559 you can improve your team by multiple players for one, 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.520 ace like a, Schemes i'm all for. IT i, AGREE 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.319 i think it's a, blip BUT i think it's not 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:13.640 the worst strategic move to make. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.800 Either, yeah it's just something to pay attention. To, unfortunately 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.839 it could be too later the you, know things go. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.959 Down BUT i do worry about THE vlo being down 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.280 in that same. Game just, OVERALL i want to talk 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.880 about a few closers. HERE Aj puck ended up getting a. 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.199 Save it's so funny because a we had been asked, 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.439 like Is Paul sywald going to lose his? Job AND 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.480 i Think lee was bringing it up IF i said, 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.760 no it's Because Tory leavello has continuously said, no As 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.760 Paul sewald has been bad and bad and, bad and 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.040 he just keeps. Going should They? Yes then they did. 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:52.640 So Ryan thompson got the start of the, save kind 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.400 of As bogman had been talking, about but then he 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.600 got in a little bit of. TROUBLE Aj puck comes 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.600 in and he gets this so he and he called 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.520 on him by the way against O'Neal, cruz which made 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.520 a lot of, sense but it, was you, know a 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.760 bunch of. Fastball he got into three zero count got 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.480 out of. It. BOOM Aj puck gets the. Same do 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.800 you believe because there's an opening now for This diamondbacks, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.920 bullpen it has gone to multiple different. Spot Ryan thompson 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.880 seemed to be the first go. TO i thought it 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.480 would Be, ginkle but then in trouble he went To. 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.920 Puck do you Think puck is going to get the 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.600 next opportunity for The? Diamondbacks one hundred. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.160 Percent on a recent EPISODE i do On thursdays With Ryan, 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.839 bloomfield we talked plenty about we are in favor OF 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.559 Aj puck on this. ONE i think he's the best 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.760 reliever in the. Bullpen When seawall got, demoted it really 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.240 lined up. Beautifully when you look At puck's season, numbers 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.800 if you get rid of these, starts just bullpen, Numbers 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.640 dude's been out, standing absolutely, Great SO i think he 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:48.719 should slot into. 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:48.800 It. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.760 Now you, Know thompson got the first few, cracks so 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.760 he looks like he's he's going to be the guy for, 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.640 now but long, term if you had to say who 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.920 ends the season with more, SAVES i got my money 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:58.240 ON Aj. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.240 Puck i'm really torn because as LIKE i, Know i'm 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.800 a diamondback, guy But Tory, lavello he's a total wild. 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.320 Card when he gets is stuck into, something he's a huge. 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.640 Paint like he was A. Seawald he just Liked seawall 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.400 kept screwing up and kept screwing, up and Then Ryan 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.920 thompson gets put in that position kind of screws. UP i, 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.920 AGREE i think the stuff makes the most sense FOR Aj, 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.319 puck but he is one of their lefties out of the. 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.360 Bullpen i'm not sold on any of these, guys AND 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.839 i Think puck might have earned a spot to get 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.480 that next. One So i'm comfortable picking UP Aj. Puck 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.880 so let's go against this because the other guy that 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.880 got to save this, week and we've been talking ABOUT 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.680 i had been, mentioning Was Ben. Joyce as The angels 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.520 traded off their, pieces Ben joyce ended up picking up 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.880 a save in one and one third of an, inning 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.880 which by the, way is VERY Aj puck like because 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.520 he can go. Two but here is the. Deal he 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:52.319 ended the game on AN fm music radio station one 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.079 oh four point. SEVEN i think it, was SO i, 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.480 Mean i'm gonna call HIM fm from now. On For Ben, 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.600 joyce it was one oh four point. Seven he ended 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.760 the fastest pitch of the. SEASON i believe ended that 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.280 game on the. Strikeout so moving, forward would you Want Ben, 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.439 joyce who you do know that it's gonna have limited save, 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.240 opportunities or would you speculate on a guy LIKE Aj 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.120 puck for The. Diamondbacks let's assume both of those are 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:16.719 available to. 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:18.880 You, OH i Take Ben joyce all. DAY i was 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.120 Taking Ben joyce before this they had The Luis garcia smoke. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.520 Screen he gets traded To. Boston then they come out 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.760 With Hunter strickland And, hey as A giants, fan yeah no, 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:28.520 dead ain't? 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:28.599 It? 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.880 Doug and we SAW i got brought in in the 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.640 seventh inning On saturday night Before Ben joyce got to. 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.320 Save both were out of commission On sunday because they 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.760 worked a. Ton that's Why rosey got his second. Safe 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.000 so don't look into that too. Much Ben joyce is 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.959 by far the, better really really best probably reliever and 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.520 The angels. Bullpen the only Concern Ron. Washington he's an. 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.160 Old he also said he likes His he Likes joyce 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.839 to be the leverage guy that will also get. Saves 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.439 we've seen this With baldelli and stuff in the. Past 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.920 that's the only. Caveat BUT i Think i'll Take Ben. 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:00.640 Joyce he's in to. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.719 Go to an am station when he the old is 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:08.280 going to. Goal Ben joyce one oh four point Seven Ben, 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.480 Joyce that's WHAT i. Want so, YEAH i like. That 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.960 if we had a guarantee That puck was the, dude 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.840 it'd Be puck for. Me because of the team. Context 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.160 i'm still not. SOLD i don't think you've Seen Paul 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.080 sewall get his last save attempt this year, Either Howroy 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.960 lavello is SO i. DON'T i think one THING i 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.920 have said about Aj puck is he is the. FIREMAN 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.200 i think they're gonna put him in the biggest leverage, 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:37.520 situation so that's not. Guaranteed but will that fireman situation 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.920 give him as many save opportunities As Ben joyce with The. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.040 Angels that's legitimately something to think, about and that's why 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.320 he could be. Good But Ben joyce is kind of 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.480 guaranteed as the. Guy Jackson, HOLIDAY i feel good about 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.560 this ever since sticking to my laurels here With Jackson, 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.760 holiday even though he had, struggled Said i'm gonna still 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.240 roll with. It hit Another homer a walk in a 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.560 solo shot against The guardians On, sunday AND i think 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.920 we're kind of safe to. Go he simplified his. SWING 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.040 i think he shortened it out a little. Bit he's 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.480 starting to make good contact and he's got a hold 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.480 of that. Spot Jackson, HOLIDAY i think is someone we 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.720 can just hold on to that level of trust through 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.200 the rest of the, year as much as you can 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.240 with any of those. Guys but at this, POINT i 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.800 think he's like a no doubt. Start if you had 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.000 held on to him right. 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.360 One hundred, percent you know it's a, Shocker, WELSH i 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.880 know you would understand. THIS a young player fails his first, 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.320 time goes and works on, things comes, back he might 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.920 actually still be. Good it's a novel. CONCEPT i know 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.800 it's tough for, people AND i know it's only one, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.720 week so let's not get the cart fully ahead of 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.240 the worst, here but he does look a lot. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:39.320 Better i'm hundred with. 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.920 YOU i put fab in on him this. Week WHEREVER 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.080 i had fab available first time, AROUND i did. NOT 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.120 i was not breaking the, bank BUT i was interested 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.720 this time. Around AND i think he's going to start every. 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.640 Day westburgy's gonna be out pretty much for the. Year 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.000 mateo's out till probably mid to Late, september if not the. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.520 Year there's no Reason Jackson holiday outside of The oriels 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.840 Getting goofy shouldn't play every, day, no. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.120 Sir so let's put to the test here for a. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.920 Minute one of the hottest hitters over the last two 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:10.040 weeks still has a combined roster percentage that is under 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.160 fifty let's call it under sixty. Percent Between yahoo AND. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.720 Espn we have a feature On Fantasy pros that will 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.600 give you can either check INDIVIDUAL, Espn yahoo or you 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.920 can do a consensus between the. Two we also know 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:25.880 what that, MEANS espn What yahoo. UP espn always lags. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.160 Behind So i'm not saying this guy is one hundred percent, 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.080 available but let's do. This Tyler fitzgerald one of the 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.760 absolute freaking hottest. Hitters yesterday two for four with a 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.840 two run home, er two runs. Score that was On 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:41.040 sunday against The reds In july hitting three twenty, one eight, 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:45.160 homers FIFTEEN, rbi one stolen, base and so far In 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.040 august he's up to three eighty five with two more, 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:52.200 homers fifty three percent combined roster percentage rest of.

You shut it down. 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.960 Here, yeah it's just tough Because i'm a Big i'm 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.280 a believer in. BOTH i Think fitzgerald's gonna come back To, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.480 earth BUT i Think earth is still. Good i'll Take 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.600 i'll Take fitzgerald and just. One he had a better 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.680 spot in the order Where holiday's kind of down in 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.800 the order because the oils are so. Good that's a 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.160 very good toss, up AND i love using those roster. 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:21.879 Rates that's HOW i. Do my waiver will call them 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.520 For Fantasy pros that comes out On. Saturdays so it's 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:30.920 a very interesting. Dynamic i'm Going, fitzgerald but extremely. 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:35.000 Close, okay how about one. More let's Throw Xavier edwards in. 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:35.720 THERE i like. 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:37.800 This it's a little bit different because of. This it's 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.520 a stolen base. Chase But holiday is kind of Between 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.280 edwards fifty six percent combined roster, percentage hitting four forty 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.000 nine over the last fifteen days with a homer and 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.399 eight stolen. Bases so order them. 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.800
