Speaker 1: What's up, friends, and welcome in. It is leading operat
Speaker 1: here on Fantasy Pros. I am your host, Chris Welsh.
Speaker 1: That right there, that's the Bubba, Casey Bubba in the
Speaker 1: house on Twitter at beat in Trick. You can find
Speaker 1: me on Twitter at is it the Welsh and Bubba.
Speaker 1: It's ship time. We're pirates. We are pirrating the ship
Speaker 1: called Championship. How are we doing, my friend?
Speaker 2: Good, good, my friend.
Speaker 3: It's fun to be back on a Tuesday with you,
Speaker 3: and yeah, we're getting closer to the end here. You
Speaker 3: had to have leagues a championship week, rode leagues. You
Speaker 3: have like two weeks left, give or take. It's it's uh,
Speaker 3: it's go time. It's a lot of fun and it's uh,
Speaker 3: it's kind of nice to be getting to him, but
Speaker 3: also kind of inks known as baseball fans.
Speaker 2: It's towards the end. So yeah, good times.
Speaker 1: I felt like you were about to We're gonna jump
Speaker 1: into Weller manly. There once was a ship that put
Speaker 1: two see the Yo Ho Ho ho a pirate rich
Speaker 1: like for me, you know, the Welerman. The Wellermen come
Speaker 1: to bringing those sugarman teah. I thought that's where we're
Speaker 1: gonna go.
Speaker 3: For the I leave all the antics to you. You
Speaker 3: have your tr and stuff. I'll just kind of follow
Speaker 3: the ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah you said there.
Speaker 2: I'm here all day.
Speaker 1: The only part of my ship roster is ONELL cruise.
Speaker 1: That's right, Well, we're here.
Speaker 3: The only man that can strike out almost forty one
Speaker 3: percent of the time. It hit two seventy two with
Speaker 3: eight home runs. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: But can hit a ball one hundred and twenty thousand
Speaker 1: miles per hour. You see that and go, you know what,
Speaker 1: here's the stat I'm waiting for. This is gonna kill me.
Speaker 1: This would be my favorite thing of all time is
Speaker 1: when and I'm telling you this is gonna happen, and
Speaker 1: when it happens, think of me. Someone is going to
Speaker 1: break down what the exit velocity of an ONEO cruise
Speaker 1: hit would be on like Mars or the Moon, and
Speaker 1: they'll be like, technically with you know, with no atmosphere
Speaker 1: in this, it would travel twelve thousand feet. There's going
Speaker 1: to be some lunar space calculation to ONEAL cruise and
Speaker 1: that will be the day that I just put it
Speaker 1: all aside.
Speaker 3: He's the He's like the un he's like the Uncle
Speaker 3: Rico of baseball. He just does amazing things that no
Speaker 3: one can predict. It's pretty crazy, but we.
Speaker 1: Are, but we are. Doctor Glenn, thank you. You're on
Speaker 1: your moon. Calculations of O'Neil Cruz. Please, But I've got
Speaker 1: more complaining to do, and I think I'm definitely gonna
Speaker 1: annoy the old hats in the chat or listening to
Speaker 1: the podcast because Max schers are hurled six perfect innings.
Speaker 1: Yesterday I guest six in a victory over the Brewers.
Speaker 1: They pulled him after sixty eight pitches. We've done this
Speaker 1: dance before. This is my opinion, have your opinion. I
Speaker 1: think this is the dumbest thing that exists in baseball
Speaker 1: and I hate it. And I don't care about the excuse.
Speaker 1: I don't care about returning from injury. I don't care
Speaker 1: about saving the guy. I don't care about any of it.
Speaker 1: Pulling a player when they have a perfect game is
Speaker 1: crazy on all levels to me. Baba, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you feel about this.
Speaker 3: It's kind of mixed because it's his first start back
Speaker 3: from the ILA, is a rehab start for three and
Speaker 3: two thirds innings. It's Max Schurzer, though, like I figured,
Speaker 3: if Max's back. Max's back. We're not play kating. This
Speaker 3: one the only thing I can think of. You know,
Speaker 3: they clinched the playoffs last night. They did that whole dance.
Speaker 3: If you saw, you know, Big Pete Alonso, he was
Speaker 3: pelvic femness mates. It was pretty entertaining. But when it
Speaker 3: comes to Schurzer, my only guess is that Schurzer gave
Speaker 3: the approval to come out because no one has the
Speaker 3: cojones to take him out.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that much. So I put this one
Speaker 2: on Sureser.
Speaker 1: I just don't care about any I mean, like, I
Speaker 1: love you guys, but I just don't care. I don't
Speaker 1: care about playoffs matter more. I don't care.
Speaker 3: I don't care about it. And you're a Diamondbacks fan.
Speaker 3: You don't know what the playoffs are really.
Speaker 2: Like that much?
Speaker 1: No, no, I don't. But I also there's been twenty three,
Speaker 1: twenty three perfect games in the history of baseball. Like
Speaker 1: I get pissy about the no hitter stuff, but in
Speaker 1: my pissiness, like I know, like in the back of
Speaker 1: my head, it's like like I was at I think
Speaker 1: it was Opening Day. You Darvish had six no hit
Speaker 1: innings on the Diamondbacks, and they pulled him because he
Speaker 1: was like walking three and he had a bunch of
Speaker 1: pitches and it's an opening week and I still think
Speaker 1: it's kind of dumb but whatever. But like the back
Speaker 1: of my head, I know it, but I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is stupid. They got to no hitter. A perfect game
Speaker 1: is something completely different, and I can't fathom it. So
Speaker 1: I even pulled this up.
Speaker 2: Here, buch, I throw one side at your Diamondbacks and
Speaker 2: here a bogman. Now here we go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start muting people in the chat.
Speaker 2: By the way, I love the chat. The chat's on
Speaker 2: fire right now, by the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I and I knew, and like I
Speaker 1: said when I said old hats, I knew exactly the
Speaker 1: people that we're gonna start complaining and bitching about it,
Speaker 1: But listen, it's a perfect game. I don't care at
Speaker 1: this part of the year. It's also sure. My my
Speaker 1: logic for uh, the prop yesterday was sound. You know,
Speaker 1: it was what was it, four and a half, five
Speaker 1: and a half? It was some stupid number with sure,
Speaker 1: And it's like, listen, the guys, if he can get
Speaker 1: through the third inning, he's probably gonna get this he did.
Speaker 1: He had nine strikeouts. But a perfect game is something
Speaker 1: special regardless of playoff runs. This isn't also a picture
Speaker 1: that casually breaks down, like I know Max is breaking
Speaker 1: down a little bit more. But this isn't the same
Speaker 1: as a lot of these other guys. This isn't a
Speaker 1: young reliever that hasn't had a whole lot of experience.
Speaker 1: This isn't Steven Strasburg, This isn't Clayton Kershaw. This is
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer.
Speaker 2: And there's a book he broke down the playoffs last
Speaker 2: two years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I still want this perfect game. Here is
Speaker 1: what I've got for you since two This actually since
Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty six, because there was one in eighty six.
Speaker 1: So since then, here are the perfect games that were pulled.
Speaker 1: Tell me, I mean, obviously you have less of an
Speaker 1: issue than I do, but tell me, you know if
Speaker 1: there's anything to these. In twenty fifteen, right around this date,
Speaker 1: by the way, almost a year almost, what would that be?
Speaker 1: Seven years to the date, September twenty second, Daniel Norris
Speaker 1: had a perfect game going through five and then he
Speaker 1: was pulled. He trying to see if it had the
Speaker 1: pitch count on it. He had he was coming off
Speaker 1: of a DL as we would call it. They had
Speaker 1: set him to a sixty five pitch limit. They pulled
Speaker 1: him at sixty three. D Angel Norris is different than
Speaker 1: Max Sasure. Okay, we agree with that, all right, cool
Speaker 1: next one. In twenty sixteen, Rich Hill was pulled on
Speaker 1: September tenth. Again September trend. Here he went seven, struck
Speaker 1: out nine and it's just rich Hill. It's just rich Hill.
Speaker 1: They had pulled him. Dodgers were up five to nothing.
Speaker 1: You are six outs away from a perfect game. Crazy.
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts is the biggest culprit of this. By the way,
Speaker 1: in August, the Rays pulled Blake Snell. He went five
Speaker 1: perfect innings, struck out six. This was in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: You've got Max Kranick in twenty twenty one who had
Speaker 1: five innings, struck out three against the Cardinals and then
Speaker 1: he was pulled and he did not get the complete
Speaker 1: one ten or Hawk You've got five innings, struck out
Speaker 1: eight on October second, twenty twenty one. And then most recently,
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw seven innings, thirteen strikeouts, perfect game April thirteenth,
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year was so obviously there's
Speaker 1: always a storyline to these. But when I look at this,
Speaker 1: it's like, what do you have? You have a bunch
Speaker 1: of young, inexperienced pitchers, and then you've got Kershaw, you know,
Speaker 1: Rich Hill, I mean Rich. You've got the Rich Hill
Speaker 1: who's perpetually injured. You've got Kershaw who's relatively perpetually injured,
Speaker 1: and then you have just a bunch of broken down
Speaker 1: young pitchers. I just don't care. I think it's crazy
Speaker 1: that we're that this still goes on, especially a perfect game.
Speaker 1: But that's just me and you old hats can sit
Speaker 1: there and have fun and complain about the playoffs and.
Speaker 2: Want to hug talk about the do you need a hug.
Speaker 1: I'm not a Mets fan. I'm not a Mets fan.
Speaker 1: I just I can't believe it. I just I still
Speaker 1: can't believe this, especially that instance of sixty eight pitches
Speaker 1: in September, Max sures or I don't know, pitch to contact,
Speaker 1: You give it up, you immediately pull him. We'll all
Speaker 1: be good, Bubba will all be good. But no perfect
Speaker 1: game for us, so we can we can just complain
Speaker 1: about it instead of celebrate it.
Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah, that's that's what we do in
Speaker 2: in September baseball.
Speaker 1: That's right, Astros clinch the Al West for the fifth
Speaker 1: time in six years. Astro's still quite something, my friend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are fuego. They've had this one wrapped up
Speaker 3: almost as long as the Dodgers. It's just ridiculous how
Speaker 3: good they are, and they seem like they they actually
Speaker 3: seem like they're bad this year, which feels really weird,
Speaker 3: like they're really freaky good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are killing me and the doctor.
Speaker 2: I love the chat. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Doctor, Glenn's my buddy. He's my only buddy
Speaker 1: in this chat.
Speaker 3: It wouldn't be a Tuesday if we weren't talking about
Speaker 3: a towny versus judge for the MVP.
Speaker 2: Let's do it, just the script out the window.
Speaker 1: The one thing I appreciate is Wonky's got my back
Speaker 1: on these like of course, of course, manager. I don't
Speaker 1: care what the manager is saying. I don't care about
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. I care I care about seeing
Speaker 1: a perfect game within the real question, pictures of our time.
Speaker 3: The real question, what would the fan have done? The
Speaker 3: sitting behind Tony Larus that made the calls for the
Speaker 3: White Sox.
Speaker 2: That's the question. Mm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking about managers. Like the real manager sits
Speaker 3: behind larus So like a puppet master.
Speaker 2: So what would he have done?
Speaker 1: I actually think you might have been great if the
Speaker 1: White Sox would have done, if they would have let
Speaker 1: that guy be like manager for a day, since they're
Speaker 1: going through all their manager earlier shoes, I think that
Speaker 1: would have been great. Wet Clayton Kershaw. We brought up
Speaker 1: Clinton Carshaw struck got ten over six innings of run
Speaker 1: on one run baseball Monday to get a win against
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks. Kershaw has been pretty good. Pete Alonzo hit
Speaker 1: a three run homer and stile a base on Monday.
Speaker 1: That's a combo meal in a victory over the Brewers.
Speaker 1: How about this. Logan Gilbert struck out a career high
Speaker 1: eleven over six frames one run ball on Monday as
Speaker 1: the Mariners go to a nine one victory over the
Speaker 1: Angels and Logan Gilbert he had his bumps in the
Speaker 1: middle of the year, but it's just been I think
Speaker 1: a completely underrated pitcher all season long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, over the last like I'd say four or five starts,
Speaker 3: he's looked like an absolute ace out there right now.
Speaker 3: And it's pretty crazy looking at Seattle. They got Gilbert,
Speaker 3: they got Kirby. It's pretty crazy. They what they're doing.
Speaker 3: Gilbert has allowed one runner less and four straight, two
Speaker 3: runner lesson six straight. He's striking out the world. So
Speaker 3: he's locked in right now.
Speaker 1: By the way, Saniel Contract can have five complete games
Speaker 1: in a season and go, but Max Scherzer can't go
Speaker 1: to one hundred pitches for a perfect game.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, Oh, this is good, this is good.
Speaker 1: Ahmed Rosario, oh Med Rosario, let's wait to rile me
Speaker 1: up two for four with a three run home or
Speaker 1: two stolen bases on Monday as a Guardian's one eleven
Speaker 1: to four. I think Wonky put that on just because
Speaker 1: of my early predictions of Amed Rosario, which has just
Speaker 1: been eh. He just wasn't great. He's just just fine,
Speaker 1: totally fine. On the injury front, uh oh. Carlos verdon
Speaker 1: next start been pushed back to Friday against Arizona. Bubba
Speaker 1: Carlos Verdon blister issues. It's not the normal things that
Speaker 1: we worry about with Radon any concerns and Championship Week
Speaker 1: moving forward.
Speaker 3: I would be if you're for fantasy reasons. The Giants
Speaker 3: a have no reason to throw him out there because
Speaker 3: they're not good.
Speaker 2: But blisters.
Speaker 3: We all how this goes, he might feel like he's
Speaker 3: healed and it could pop up in any later.
Speaker 2: So it's a concerning situation for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mackenzie Gore scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: You know, I see the rotal world keep posting about
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure why we care at this point.
Speaker 1: I don't or like he's gonna come back. He's going
Speaker 1: to be relieved. There's no fantasy impact to it, but
Speaker 1: he is going to be coming back. There some fantasy
Speaker 1: impact to Ryan Nelson, who's expected to make his next
Speaker 1: start this weekend against the Giants. He wasn't that great
Speaker 1: against San Diego, but he also just didn't get blown up.
Speaker 1: He's really controlled himself. He didn't get a lot of
Speaker 1: swing and misses. He's going to be found out a
Speaker 1: little bit more. But I actually kind of like this start.
Speaker 1: Do you like this start for Ryan Nelson this weekend?
Speaker 2: I love it. Pick on the Giants all you can.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of swing and miss in that lineup,
Speaker 3: so they'll get they'll have like one hot game a week.
Speaker 2: Other than I just enjoy yourselves.
Speaker 1: Outside of the estrada, he's like the guy, But outside
Speaker 1: of estrada there's a lot of pick Yeah. John Hayman
Speaker 1: the New York Post reports an MRI on Frankie Monta's
Speaker 1: right shoulder didn't reveal any major structural damage, but probably
Speaker 1: one of those things that you can get some goodbye
Speaker 1: see you. They're not going to do any thing for
Speaker 1: you for this week or through the end of the
Speaker 1: eye exactly. You can just move on. David Bednar had
Speaker 1: a scoreless inning on Monday in a Minor League rehab
Speaker 1: appearance for Tripa. A should return to the Pirates later
Speaker 1: this week. Maybe a last minute save. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you got him for the weekend, you might be able
Speaker 1: to pull out a last save or two. If he's
Speaker 1: sitting on the wire, rodo, guys probably gonna drop whatever
Speaker 1: fab you might potentially have left, just to maybe pick
Speaker 1: up a save or two on the back end of
Speaker 1: the year. It's still the Pirates though, which is a
Speaker 1: little bit of a problem.
Speaker 2: But four wins, how many saves?
Speaker 1: It's the question, Yeah, I mean, what do you I mean,
Speaker 1: are you optimistic that we can get anything out of
Speaker 1: bed Innars.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The biggest thing with him is, unlike some of these
Speaker 3: other speculaive guys, he's gonna get your strikeouts and ratios,
Speaker 3: which might help out. It's kind of tough and it
Speaker 3: might help you. You want the saves, obviously, but he'll
Speaker 3: get the work. And when they pitched him as always
Speaker 3: like two winnings, it felt like so you might evenet
Speaker 3: a sneak in a win for you.
Speaker 2: So I like him.
Speaker 1: And then Blake trying and on track for activation when
Speaker 1: first eligible on Thursday. So keep an eye on that
Speaker 1: as we talk about all those guys. This is interesting
Speaker 1: that walk you put on here War leaders through September
Speaker 1: twentieth on the year, So we'll go positional stuff in
Speaker 1: the NL. The NL leader is Paul Goldschmidt with seven
Speaker 1: point six. The person behind him is a cardinal at
Speaker 1: seven point five, and the person behind him is another
Speaker 1: cardinal at six point five. Tommy Edmond Cardinals are all right.
Speaker 1: Cardinals did themselves pretty remember when they were gonna get
Speaker 1: one soda and it didn't happen. She just made two amazing.
Speaker 2: Moves for you know, lownries.
Speaker 1: At Montgomery and Quintana and then they just continue to win.
Speaker 1: Can you believe that? I mean again, I would ask
Speaker 1: this question someone stat Doctor Glenn's looking up and doing
Speaker 1: the calculations for all of my moon stuff. I need
Speaker 1: someone else to look. When is the last time you've
Speaker 1: had three players on one team be the consecutive leaders
Speaker 1: in war in their division of NL or AL? Has
Speaker 1: that ever happened before?
Speaker 2: I doubt it. I doubt it.
Speaker 3: It's it's a pretty crazy run that they got going
Speaker 3: on there, and they're just loaded from top to bottom
Speaker 3: one of like I bet you and Brendan Donovan's got
Speaker 3: like a three something of War like he's been productive
Speaker 3: out of nowhere. They've got a very good team that
Speaker 3: is scary to face in the postseason.
Speaker 1: That I mean, that lead, like that run is just
Speaker 1: insane to me when I look at that, like three
Speaker 1: Cardinals in there, but none in the eight marker because
Speaker 1: you know, eat into each uh on the ale positional players,
Speaker 1: Oh you look at this? Didn't Jim's ask for this earlier.
Speaker 1: We're not going to do the debate. But as far
Speaker 1: as al position players go, and this is position players,
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge with a nine point six War the highest
Speaker 1: of any player, but number two eight point seven Shoho Tani?
Speaker 1: Who's two players?
Speaker 2: Is that? Does that count his pitching and hitting more
Speaker 2: or just a great question.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm curious about. Let me take a look
Speaker 1: and see if because.
Speaker 2: I think it's just hitting, but I might be wrong.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's going to be the combo. But
Speaker 1: let's take a look here war Yeah. Well, because now
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this and it actually says Judge is
Speaker 1: at ten point four war on updated and then this
Speaker 1: is on fangrass. I don't see Otani. Is it tiny
Speaker 1: only under pitchers?
Speaker 2: Probably just discriminate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean why not show us both on those's?
Speaker 2: So it's just let's get this real quick.
Speaker 1: If I can get this to go pitching, so ten
Speaker 1: point four for Judge and then on the pitching side update.
Speaker 1: Why is it taking so long?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: For whatever reason? O Tani is just not on here?
Speaker 1: Is he not meaning like qualific?
Speaker 3: Tell Paul get his stuff together over there and figure
Speaker 3: it out. Yeah, I don't twitch. Get off a twitch
Speaker 3: and get get your website figured out.
Speaker 1: You know I'm talking about old hat there.
Speaker 2: But I'll be here all day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't see it on here, maybe because
Speaker 1: it is someone that it is combined. But I wonder
Speaker 1: if you moved up a little bit, but you've already
Speaker 1: got judge over ten, which is ridiculous number on the
Speaker 1: n L side, going back over to pitchers, a huge
Speaker 1: discrepancy on war versus pictures because Sandy Ocontro, who I
Speaker 1: think I said the other show or one of the
Speaker 1: shows earlier in the week, is the absolute favorite of
Speaker 1: the sy Youngs, more than Justin Verlander was in the
Speaker 1: a L minus four hundred and then the next pact
Speaker 1: next person I think Freed was like, you know, plus
Speaker 1: five hundred or something. Ol contrast is a seven point
Speaker 1: four war compared to number two, which was Max Freed
Speaker 1: with a five point seven and Aaron Nola with a
Speaker 1: five point one.
Speaker 2: So it's a huge.
Speaker 1: Gap between pitchers and talk about value and what That
Speaker 1: also tells an interesting story on the AL side, where
Speaker 1: there's been plenty of case being made about Dylan ce
Speaker 1: swinning with cy Young, the gap is much smaller, and
Speaker 1: Dylan sees is a higher war than Verlander this year
Speaker 1: five point seven to five point one. So the lowest
Speaker 1: war of anybody on this list is Verlander. And Nola
Speaker 1: as far as the leaders go, and they're tied. Do
Speaker 1: you have any stake or any opinion on the Verlander
Speaker 1: versus cis al Cy Young.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of biased on Verlander. I'm really really impressed
Speaker 3: with what he's done. And he's even missed some time,
Speaker 3: so that might hurt him a bit. But I like Verlander,
Speaker 3: but you can't go wrong with Cease. He was dominant,
Speaker 3: like for about what ten twelve straight starts? Like, where's
Speaker 3: fran Ervaldez in this conversation? Dude's got like twenty four
Speaker 3: straight quality starts twenty five? Yeah, where's he at?
Speaker 1: That's an insane marker, Franbervel does it only shows a
Speaker 1: four point I don't even know how it's possible for
Speaker 1: a four point two war on according to fan grafts,
Speaker 1: which is the twelfth highest.
Speaker 2: Of any pitcher. Demand to recount.
Speaker 1: Cease is Actually so there's some updated numbers here. Ceas
Speaker 1: is four point four in the AL and now Verlander's
Speaker 1: up to five point one. Again. I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's different calculations being done here, but Verlander's a bit
Speaker 1: above him now five point one versus Ceases four point four.
Speaker 1: But interestingly enough a higher war in the al is
Speaker 1: Kevin Gosman. Kevin Gosman a five point two. But if
Speaker 1: you're looking at like award season versus War, I think that's.
Speaker 2: What But really, really Welsh War, what is it good for? Huh?
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 1: A lot of story, which you guys know, I'm all
Speaker 1: about stat leaders. Let's go through who was doing it yesterday.
Speaker 1: Carlos Antanna two for five, two homers, two runs, five rbi.
Speaker 1: We talked about Amed Rosario. We had a combo meal
Speaker 1: with a couple of stolen bases, much needed in your
Speaker 1: fantasy playoff run Ty Franz had a homer, going two
Speaker 1: for four with four RBI. So a lot of talk about, like, hey,
Speaker 1: we need Mariner's production in other spots, you know, especially
Speaker 1: with the onhanigos War is hurt and Julio has been
Speaker 1: banged up. They're getting it. Josh Naylor had a homer.
Speaker 1: Josel Twove two for four with a home run, John
Speaker 1: Birdie two stolen bases with a homer. There's a combo meal.
Speaker 1: Brian day La Cruz had a home run, four rbi.
Speaker 1: Boy Austin Riley had a bomb. An Thirostrata homer double
Speaker 1: three runs three RB. Do you think Estrada is going
Speaker 1: to be a player that's going to be able to
Speaker 1: maintain value for next year where we're going to be
Speaker 1: unanimously drafting him because he has had quietly such a
Speaker 1: grea He actual runds you, and he kind of reminds me
Speaker 1: of like Nico Horner, And like Nico Horner has had
Speaker 1: this like really quiet year where he had homers and
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of stolen bases. He's closing in
Speaker 1: on twenty stolen bases. Estrada is not like that, but
Speaker 1: in I feel like a lot of quiet production where
Speaker 1: we're going to look back when we're be like, are
Speaker 1: we really we really drafting Estrata around one point fifty?
Speaker 1: But position, eligibility and everything, I think it might be
Speaker 1: on the table.
Speaker 2: Definitely, the eligibility is gonna be clutch.
Speaker 3: He's even I think gaining out for the eligibility now
Speaker 3: with the Giants moving things around, and he just brings
Speaker 3: the power speed combo that's been that that's just clutch
Speaker 3: on almost all fantasy teams. Like Chris Taylor has roles,
Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of Chris Taylor in there. The
Speaker 3: dinamers might not meet up, but a lot of things
Speaker 3: you're looking for in that power speed that he will produce.
Speaker 3: And really, the Giants, unless they really want to do
Speaker 3: a full rebuild, which they're slowly rebuilding, there's no reason
Speaker 3: why he shouldn't be a part of that next year
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 2: So I like, i'm quite a bit.
Speaker 1: I remember watching him in the AFL too, in like
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen or eighteen, when he was a
Speaker 1: Yankees prospect. He is on Yahoo's algorithm inside the top
Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen homers, nineteen stolen bases. I mean
Speaker 1: that is full time gig and he's currently qualifying second,
Speaker 1: short and outfield and hitting in predominant spots of the
Speaker 1: lineup too. I mean, unless the Giants go make huge,
Speaker 1: crazy splashes and change out the roster, there's no reason
Speaker 1: he's not going to be playing in the infield and
Speaker 1: the mental inf and he's been hitting. I mean, last
Speaker 1: four days he's hit one or two in the or
Speaker 1: I guess in the last three games, which he has
Speaker 1: hits all in. So maybe putting him at the top
Speaker 1: of the lineup. He's just one of those guys. He's
Speaker 1: handful of those barely drafted players, and the McCarthy's and
Speaker 1: the Estradas, even the Nico Horners that have like saved seasons.
Speaker 2: Which very productive pictures.
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer six perfect one strikeouts yep could have been
Speaker 1: and then on the bench and one benching. Tyler Alexander
Speaker 1: seven innings, four strikeouts, he had a couple walks. Logan
Speaker 1: Gilbert struck out those eleven. Kershaw struck out those ten,
Speaker 1: and Luis Garcia went five, struck out four, only gave
Speaker 1: up two hits. So a lot of performances there, but
Speaker 1: we don't need to talk about them. On the hitter side,
Speaker 1: there was a note there were a bunch of guys
Speaker 1: that struck out a lot, but I can't find the
Speaker 1: list on Baseball Reference. For the stat Zeros, there were
Speaker 1: a lot of strikeouts, and that's okay on the picture front, though.
Speaker 1: Yakup Jannis so I call him Jacob Jonas four and
Speaker 1: one third gave up five and runs, twelve hits. Wade
Speaker 1: Minley gave up three and run seven hits only three innings.
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray Man, I'm always I always want to like
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray starts to give up foreign runs in two
Speaker 1: Tyler Wells gave up five earned Corey Abbott gave up
Speaker 1: for earner. I feel like every time I see Sonny
Speaker 1: Wells like on the docket and his like props are
Speaker 1: like four and a half strikeouts or something like that,
Speaker 1: I just get jazzed up. And then Sonny will just
Speaker 1: have one of these games.
Speaker 2: Yep. I usually just avoid now.
Speaker 3: It's like you see the great games and then, like
Speaker 3: you said, when you buy in, it just blows up
Speaker 3: in your face. There's no consistency. Plus, he heard his
Speaker 3: hamstring yesterday, so who knows what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent over on the home run calls.
Speaker 1: Kat Fox has pulled a little bit away on the
Speaker 1: lead with a Austin Riley homer yesterday. So the home
Speaker 1: run contest is now sitting at fifty five for the leader,
Speaker 1: who is kat Fox. Number two is l Scal who
Speaker 1: had CJ. Krown yesterday. Did not go with fifty three.
Speaker 1: We got a couple of fifty two's who also had
Speaker 1: Riley helpless in Miami and high Coby and one fifty
Speaker 1: at Diblem. So we have got five people, yeah, five
Speaker 1: people who have hit the fifty home run marker and
Speaker 1: that is where the contest is going into the final
Speaker 1: you know whatever, it is seven eight days that we've
Speaker 1: got left, or maybe a couple mores. I think it
Speaker 1: goes to like October second or whatever. But the home
Speaker 1: Run Contest is coming down to the wire and Kat
Speaker 1: Fox has got the lead. So very very good stuff
Speaker 1: and hopefully that we are going to be able to
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll be able to get some graphics next week.
Speaker 1: And also a reminder for everybody, the winner of the
Speaker 1: home Run Contest is going to receive a signed Fernando
Speaker 1: Tatis junior jersey, So there you go.
Speaker 2: It might be a collector's item, folks.
Speaker 1: Might be a collector sign him exactly. I mean, you
Speaker 1: know you hear this anemazing I gotta tell you, personally,
Speaker 1: I still think this is incredible. I think tatish in
Speaker 1: a lot of the lying that I do believe me
Speaker 1: personally that went on and is part of it. I
Speaker 1: believe he will come back and he will be insane
Speaker 1: and he's going to be back to being one of
Speaker 1: the faces of baseball. There'll be a whole retribution thing
Speaker 1: that will go on. But that is an incredibly cool
Speaker 1: prize in the winner, if for the Homeron contest will
Speaker 1: win that Tatis Junior signed jer courtesy of Fantasy Pros.
Speaker 1: That is very very cool, Bubba. It is time that
Speaker 1: we go and talk about bet MGM. And there will
Speaker 1: be no crown today. I'm angry with the perfect game.
Speaker 1: There will be no crown. Especially the chat did not
Speaker 1: have my back, so you get no crown today whatsoever.
Speaker 1: But you can have a one thousand dollars risk free
Speaker 1: first bet with bet MGM if you use a promo
Speaker 1: code leading off. Just go download the app, deep, download it,
Speaker 1: put in your stuff. You guys can rock it. You
Speaker 1: can set it up. Use a promo code leading off.
Speaker 1: They will give you extra things like a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: risk forrey bet would be amazing first time people. Just
Speaker 1: go and hook it up today. You can make some bets.
Speaker 1: I actually made some bets today on the baseball front
Speaker 1: because the number one bet that was out there is
Speaker 1: my favorite. But I got juiced up, so I did
Speaker 1: put it with something because I just didn't want to
Speaker 1: pay that crazy amount. But the number one bet of
Speaker 1: the day is Shane McClanahan at four and a half strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Four and a half strikeouts versus Houston projected at six
Speaker 1: and a half the juice on betting pros. It's probably
Speaker 1: still there by the way it shows one forty, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's one sixty. It's minus one sixty on DraftKings, which
Speaker 1: is a pretty hefty amount. You can still bet it,
Speaker 1: I suppose. But I decided to put it together if
Speaker 1: you guys even care. I put it with Nicolodolo, who's
Speaker 1: an absolute strikeout machine. I put Lodolo and McClanahan together
Speaker 1: in a little strikeout prop for the day that I'm
Speaker 1: going to be paying attention to. But McClanahan at four
Speaker 1: and a half strikeouts on DK is tasty. If you
Speaker 1: want a plus play, you got Adam Waynwright, which I
Speaker 1: also really like this play. Three and a half strikeouts
Speaker 1: is the number he's projected at four versus San Diego,
Speaker 1: who loves to swing and miss on the hitting side. Freeley,
Speaker 1: Jake Freeley is the number one total base prop at one.
Speaker 1: You just need one and so it's a half he's
Speaker 1: projected over to. It's minus one sixty on DK, and
Speaker 1: the plus money play is Chris Morrel with the Cubs.
Speaker 1: You just need one. It's plus one oh five that's
Speaker 1: against Miami. Some pretty good plays as far as how
Speaker 1: I calculate these, Bubba, what do you like out of
Speaker 1: this list?
Speaker 2: Yeah, usually it's only like one or two that I
Speaker 2: might like.
Speaker 3: I like all four of these, to be honest, but uh,
Speaker 3: Shane O Mack is the one to go to. That's
Speaker 3: a phenomenal price, even at minus one sixty. I think
Speaker 3: that's a really really good one. I don't mind pairing
Speaker 3: it even with wain rights and getting some really nice
Speaker 3: money out of that, because I think WAYNEO should be
Speaker 3: good for four plus.
Speaker 1: I thought about that. Actually, I immediately when I saw
Speaker 1: the McClanahan one, I went and looked on DK and
Speaker 1: I saw the Juice A one up, and then I
Speaker 1: saw Lodolo was going, I'm like, I love this. But
Speaker 1: then when I did, then I stopped everything, and then
Speaker 1: I came back to do the rest of my stuff.
Speaker 1: When I saw wayIn Wright, I was like, I kind
Speaker 1: of like the Wayne Right one. When McLanahan as well,
Speaker 1: I think that's a good one. I will tell you this,
Speaker 1: I bet that if you wait too long, this will
Speaker 1: move to five and a half. I still like it,
Speaker 1: but it's just, you know, it's just gonna be going
Speaker 1: This one will go up because what they're doing, they're
Speaker 1: juicing it down. Then they're gonna pop it back up
Speaker 1: one and they're gonna give you better odds, which it's
Speaker 1: totally fine. I'm probably still taking it. He was kind
Speaker 1: of capped on pitches and start back. I think it
Speaker 1: was around sixty something. We'd get probably back up into
Speaker 1: the eighties. I don't think they're gonna let them go
Speaker 1: one hundred, but the four and a half is just
Speaker 1: such a low number. I like the Wayne Right one.
Speaker 1: Did you like either of the Frailey or Morel or just.
Speaker 3: I like the Morel one more than the Failey one
Speaker 3: the plus Money one, but they're both. They're both decent.
Speaker 3: Top of the leader bats should be able to get
Speaker 3: on base lease once tide to imagine.
Speaker 1: Over on DFS, a couple of names I just pulled
Speaker 1: from the FanDuel marker if you're looking for pitching. Adrian
Speaker 1: Samson is seven to five today, which I thought was interesting.
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton nine to two, and Luis Castillo I'm imagining
Speaker 1: is gonna be chalk is nine to seven with some
Speaker 1: implied run totals with Colorado Atlanta New York all projected
Speaker 1: over five total runs. What do you like on dfs today,
Speaker 1: whether it's a lineup, stacking or pitchers.
Speaker 3: Love Luis Castillo should be very chalky, as you mentioned.
Speaker 3: Wayne Wright's a good pivot and so is Nasty Nester
Speaker 3: Cortes against the Pirates team that cannot help left on
Speaker 3: a pitcher to save their life. And the one I'll
Speaker 3: ask you about it again. I asked you last time
Speaker 3: at four k. Dray Jamison dealt for us against the
Speaker 3: Dodgers tonight at sixty one. I'm still kind of tempted,
Speaker 3: kind of tempted, but scary with the Dodgers ass. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's scary. But I love the Atlanta one, Like you
Speaker 3: mentioned that game, that's that's a good one. You at
Speaker 3: coors Field obviously employe which is phenomenal. And then a
Speaker 3: couple of like I think Seattle vers Oakland JP series
Speaker 3: decent pedigree and the miners a lot of pitch to
Speaker 3: contact since he's been called up, so I think Seattle
Speaker 3: like they like getting lefties.
Speaker 2: That could be a fun one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was looking at I just I wanted to
Speaker 1: actually go Julio, but I just don't know his status
Speaker 1: for today. I didn't see it, so I couldn't do
Speaker 1: that with any contest stuff. But that's some pretty good looks,
Speaker 1: which takes us to the home run contest. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about going Julio and I wish I
Speaker 1: kind of could, but there's just no guarantee with it,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to chase it with everything going on.
Speaker 1: So I am going with Eds for my home run
Speaker 1: call today. Wonky has got Birostrata. We gave a whole
Speaker 1: lot of talk to Bubba. Did your did your quote
Speaker 1: tweet of the episode today? Give us a little hint
Speaker 1: on who's going to go?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know, I know we went deep yesterday.
Speaker 3: But Patrick Corbyn's pitching folks, we know what happens there.
Speaker 3: Give me some Austin Riley going to ding Dong City.
Speaker 3: He's gonna take the Braves, are going to crush Patrick Corbyn.
Speaker 3: So I expect Riley to do his damage in a
Speaker 3: big way.
Speaker 1: Ding Dong City will always make me laugh. I'm a
Speaker 1: child at heart. I'm wearing a light hat with my
Speaker 1: hair out, and I'm not young enough to be doing it.
Speaker 1: So I'm a child at heart.
Speaker 2: And the blonde tip out the front.
Speaker 1: I had that, you know, when I was like.
Speaker 3: I believe it. We were both were the same age.
Speaker 3: I had those I had hair.
Speaker 1: I got a mid nineties and the mid nineties, like
Speaker 1: in my high school years were like ninety seven, I
Speaker 1: think ninety seven to yeah, ninety No, I was ninety
Speaker 1: eight through two thousand and one. I won one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I did two things. I had frosted tips, you know,
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But then I went a step further
Speaker 1: and I had You've been amazed by the way. It
Speaker 1: was a lot skinnier too. I had full bleach blonde hair,
Speaker 1: and I hung out with some uh you know, some crazy,
Speaker 1: some kind of nutty people, and I remember going out
Speaker 1: and one of these dudes is like, that's that's David Flair. Whoo,
Speaker 1: you'd call me David Flair with the blonde hair. And
Speaker 1: I was David Flair for a little bit.
Speaker 2: And then you need pictures or it didn't happen. That's
Speaker 2: all I'm going to say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, blonde tips, pretty good. Look, maybe that'll be something
Speaker 1: we do back. And I have a show we do
Speaker 1: on Twitch. It's Twitch a TV slash in this league,
Speaker 1: and Wednesdays we have a wheel show maybe that should
Speaker 1: go on it tipping the or frosting the tips, which
Speaker 1: was a whole thing, which is a whole process, probably
Speaker 1: horrific for all of our health and you know whatever.
Speaker 1: It is so our friends that I know you cared
Speaker 1: about all of that stuff. Yeah, done out. Here's my
Speaker 1: boy Donnie. It's saying boy band. Well, yeah, it was
