Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the cycle, Part three of the week.
Speaker 1: I am Ryan Warmly joined by Mike Mayer. It is
Speaker 1: our pitching streamers and two start pitcher competition segment. Here
Speaker 1: Mary take us through our pitching streamers for the week.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go right into it, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: ask for your help a little bit this week because
Speaker 2: I didn't fill it all out, but I.
Speaker 1: Do declined to help.
Speaker 3: See, let's just get that out of the way right
Speaker 3: at the top.
Speaker 2: So last week in the YouTube comments, someone called us
Speaker 2: out and said, I forget exactly what the comment was.
Speaker 2: I should have pulled it up. But they think that
Speaker 2: we can't stand each other because of our chemistry on screen.
Speaker 1: You keep saying they think this, and I keep saying
Speaker 1: they're just noting it. They're recognizing it from afar.
Speaker 3: So I pushed back on it in the comments.
Speaker 2: I said, this show actually exists because warm and I
Speaker 2: wanted to do a show together and pitched this idea
Speaker 2: for like over a year. So despite how hilarious we
Speaker 2: are in giving each other a hard time, we are friends,
Speaker 2: or at least I think we're friends.
Speaker 1: I would have done this show with Kelly if she
Speaker 1: was available, but I was I was willing to settle.
Speaker 3: For Mare fair enough.
Speaker 2: I'll let the YouTube comments I'm being the nice one
Speaker 2: now so they can get at you for being a
Speaker 2: clean one.
Speaker 1: Except for the way you express yourself when you're being nice,
Speaker 1: it's still sounds like you're being starcast.
Speaker 3: All part. That's just I just have like one you know.
Speaker 1: It's why you're such a natural host.
Speaker 3: Yes, right, I just have one speed. This is just
Speaker 3: who I am.
Speaker 2: I will say last week, I'm pretty sure the reason
Speaker 2: that the person said that was my fault because like
Speaker 2: I had an I like mentioned Colin Rea and just
Speaker 2: had like an awkward like toss it back to you
Speaker 2: and we're like, you gave me a hard time, And
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it was my fault that they thought that.
Speaker 3: But like so I'll own that one, but it was
Speaker 3: my fault.
Speaker 1: No no arguments here. I'm not here to disagree with that.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get into it.
Speaker 2: So Monday, I had and just to remind everyone, we
Speaker 2: go through streamers day by day to give you kind
Speaker 2: of a streamer for every day of the week. I'll
Speaker 2: usually throw a couple extras in there as well. If
Speaker 2: there are options or if it's just a stay away day.
Speaker 2: We'll say that too, And we lean heavily on the
Speaker 2: Fantasy spros Picture streaming tool where you can kind of
Speaker 2: see you know who's available if you sink your leadus.
Speaker 3: You can see who's available.
Speaker 2: In your league and you know what their matchup is,
Speaker 2: and you know it'll rate it by VBR to see
Speaker 2: what the best matchups are. So I lean heavily on
Speaker 2: that kind of give you a names of people who
Speaker 2: might be available. So Monday, I have Ben Brown at
Speaker 2: the Marlins, and the backup I have his gun Or
Speaker 2: Hoagland against the Angels. Again the targeting bad offenses here.
Speaker 2: So I'll start off with you know, last week we
Speaker 2: went heavy against the Marlins. This week, starting right back
Speaker 2: up against the Marlins. Tuesday, we'll do Nick Martinez at
Speaker 2: the Pirates. Nick Martinez hasn't had the best season. I'm
Speaker 2: still I don't want to say bullish on him, but
Speaker 2: I'm still willing to stream him in a matter like
Speaker 2: this against the Pirates.
Speaker 3: And the backup I have is.
Speaker 2: Jameson Tyone at the Marlins. Jameson Tyone still pretty available
Speaker 2: in a lot of leagues. I actually I keep I
Speaker 2: was actually texting with Dan Harris this morning because we
Speaker 2: keep from the same person in one of our other leagues.
Speaker 2: We keep getting jameson tyone trade offers, and as much
Speaker 2: as I'm willing to stream him against the Marlins, I'm
Speaker 2: not willing to trade you Zach Netto for jameson Tyon.
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen. Even if you throw in
Speaker 2: Ronel Blanco, not going to do it. Wednesday, I had tomy, do.
Speaker 1: You want to call out who that person is?
Speaker 3: By the way, I actually don't know. I only know
Speaker 3: his team name, so I don't know. As my first
Speaker 3: year in the league, I'm still.
Speaker 2: Learning everyone, Okay, but yeah, I actually don't know the
Speaker 2: person's name.
Speaker 3: No offense.
Speaker 2: Tomi Yuki Sigano, your boy at the Brewers, is the
Speaker 2: name I went with on Wednesday despite the you know,
Speaker 2: low strike out numbers, but like you said, been pitching
Speaker 2: much better lately. Overall numbers are good. So, like I
Speaker 2: said before, willing to stream him, and I have a
Speaker 2: couple of backups. On Wednesday, I would probably consider both
Speaker 2: these names that I like better than Sigano, but I
Speaker 2: have my backups because they're more rostered, and so I
Speaker 2: think they're less likely to be available in your leagues,
Speaker 2: although I do think they could be availab because they're
Speaker 2: roster of less than fifty percent JP Sears against the
Speaker 2: Angels and then a J Smith Shaver at the Nationals,
Speaker 2: I think are two good options. So Wednesday is a
Speaker 2: pretty good Dame, pretty good day to stream Thursday. I
Speaker 2: obviously Thursday's usually a small slate. The name I wrote
Speaker 2: down was Luis Severino against the Angels. Some other names
Speaker 2: you can look at Luis Lucas Giolito against the Orioles,
Speaker 2: but you know, he's been kind of doing good Gelido
Speaker 2: bad Giolito situation. I don't necessarily know if I trust
Speaker 2: starting him against the team like the Orioles that like
Speaker 2: has not been good but like definitely has the firepower
Speaker 2: to put a hurting on you. And other than that,
Speaker 2: not a whole lot of other options. Like I would
Speaker 2: say Tyler Anderson, but he's at the Athletics in that ballpark,
Speaker 2: not not typically a place I want to stream pictures,
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's probably all I would go with on Thursday.
Speaker 2: On Friday, Matthew Boyd is a name, but he's at
Speaker 2: the Reds. You know, he's probably he's like fifty percent
Speaker 2: rostered on Yahoo. So he might be available, but you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know. The Reds aren't exactly a high powered offense,
Speaker 2: but you know that is a tough ballpark to pitch
Speaker 2: in Tanner Halck, I'm staying away from. I don't care
Speaker 2: that he has a good matchup against the Oils and
Speaker 2: not not risking eleven runs from Tanner Hawk again. And
Speaker 2: then we always seemed even though like Thursdays, the small slight,
Speaker 2: Friday seems to be like a day we struggle with.
Speaker 3: So like.
Speaker 1: Every week it's Friday, I don't find anybody I know.
Speaker 3: Like there's like Jeffrey Springs, like, but he's against the Phillies.
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. I'm not streaming Springs against the Phillies.
Speaker 2: Run Out Blanco against the Mariners. If he's available, It's
Speaker 2: like maybe, but it might just be like one of
Speaker 2: those those situations like you've said, like it might just
Speaker 2: be the kind of day where you stay away.
Speaker 3: Landed Route against the Nationals.
Speaker 1: We say it, We say it every week. Sometimes the
Speaker 1: best streaming decision is to stream no one.
Speaker 3: That's probably where I'm at.
Speaker 2: Landed Roupe against the Nationals is not terrible, but he
Speaker 2: hasn't been great recently either. Andrew Abbot against the Cubs.
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that, even if he's available. I'm not
Speaker 2: targeting the Cubs. They're they're off on fire.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 1: I do like Abbot, maybe like as a pick up
Speaker 1: probably and not starting this week though, like if he's available,
Speaker 1: I do like Abbott.
Speaker 2: Agreed, Agreed, here's a fun one. You are you willing
Speaker 2: to if someone drops Sandil Contra? You are you willing
Speaker 2: to stream him this week against at the Angels?
Speaker 3: You doing it?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: All right? I thought for sure?
Speaker 1: Is that a Friday or Saturday?
Speaker 3: That's a Saturday? I moved to Saturday.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, yeah, I would do that. I would do that.
Speaker 2: Sorry, that's a good point. I jumped moving on for
Speaker 2: Friday to Saturday. Sandil he's the top name on the
Speaker 2: on the picture streaming tool of someone who should be
Speaker 2: available in your league SA counter at the Angels. Other
Speaker 2: than that, Merrill Kelly against the Cardinals, Like, I'm fine
Speaker 2: with that. I don't love it, but I don't hate it.
Speaker 2: Michael Walka against the Twins is fine, but you're not
Speaker 2: gonna get a lot of strikeout upside there justin Berlander
Speaker 2: been pitching better against the Nationals.
Speaker 3: Do you have any interest in Berlander at Nationals?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Sorry, I didn't really think about that.
Speaker 3: I was going to say we had a lot. I
Speaker 3: would not a dead air there.
Speaker 1: But do you want to do you want to convince
Speaker 1: me otherwise?
Speaker 3: No, I just think he's been pitching better and it's
Speaker 3: not a matchup. It's fine. Should we just keep going
Speaker 3: with dead air? See how long we can do it.
Speaker 1: I know I'm waiting for you to move on now.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to not like you.
Speaker 3: I kind of want to lean into it, but I
Speaker 3: know you have to go too, so we got to
Speaker 3: wrap up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very clear that I have a heart out
Speaker 1: dating this episode.
Speaker 3: We got four minutes. We're good, We're good. The other
Speaker 3: name is brought.
Speaker 2: I mentioned it earlier, Brian Bao again in our previous video,
Speaker 2: Brian Bao against the Oriels. I don't hate that one.
Speaker 2: He's been He's looked fine since coming back. I don't
Speaker 2: Jack Lighter has been better recently.
Speaker 3: I don't know that.
Speaker 2: I'm I don't really want to stream Jack Lighter. That's
Speaker 2: the kind of thing where it's like when it's bad.
Speaker 2: It's really bad. So even though it's the White Sox,
Speaker 2: I'm probably staying away from that one. What about you,
Speaker 2: Jack Lighter at the White Sox.
Speaker 1: If it was any other opponent, man, I would say
Speaker 1: probably not, but I'm not opposed to it, like I'm
Speaker 1: open to the possibility. I want to ask you this
Speaker 1: because this is not a streamer, but would you if
Speaker 1: you were forced to start one, would you rather start
Speaker 1: Tanner Hawk or Aaron Nola? This week? Aaron Nola at
Speaker 1: Colorado coming off of a nine earned runs give it
Speaker 1: up in his last game.
Speaker 3: It could be Aaron Nola on the Moon, and I
Speaker 3: would still take Aarona.
Speaker 1: The correct answer is I don't want to start either.
Speaker 1: I'm just pointing out Nola has been awful this year.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: I I just think if you're going like risk assessment there,
Speaker 2: I think there's similar risk and much more upside with
Speaker 2: Nola than.
Speaker 1: All Right, let's get to our two start picture competition.
Speaker 1: We're currently still waiting to see how this week goes.
Speaker 1: You have Michael King. I have like I had Hunter
Speaker 1: Green if he wasn't hurt. He obviously was hurt. So
Speaker 1: Shane Boz was my backup film the week before. You
Speaker 1: clearly won Zach Wheeler in our scoring system forty six
Speaker 1: and a half points. Kelly's pick for me of Shane
Speaker 1: Smith fifteen point eight points. So that was a predictable
Speaker 1: blowout there. I appreciate Kelly as always for you know,
Speaker 1: trying there. The week before, we were waiting to kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, determine what direction we wanted to go with
Speaker 1: the winner. You put up a poll on X. You
Speaker 1: did not include quality starts, which I specifically told you
Speaker 1: to do, and my picture had do quality starts and
Speaker 1: yours had zero. And I think that's the only reason
Speaker 1: that you won. The poll on X was.
Speaker 3: More than more than doubled your results. I don't think
Speaker 3: the quality starts were doing you any favors there.
Speaker 1: Well, Okay, first of all, more than double is a
Speaker 1: ludicrous outcome for this. The stat lines were essentially the same,
Speaker 1: Like my guy had two more walks, but also two
Speaker 1: more strikeouts, one more inning, one more earned run, same
Speaker 1: number of hits. Both got to it like this should
Speaker 1: have been like fifty to fifty. You can you at
Speaker 1: least agree that like this was very much a toss up?
Speaker 3: I agree, Should you want to call it a tie.
Speaker 1: Uh, I would like to do that. I did. I
Speaker 1: did seed the decision to the audience, So I think
Speaker 1: in fairness, even though my guy scored more points by
Speaker 1: our usual scoring system, I think it's ultimately largely like
Speaker 1: basically a tie. I was. I was open to accepting
Speaker 1: the results of the pole, so I will accept the
Speaker 1: results of the pole, even if I think it was
Speaker 1: a flawed pole. I know I'm a great I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a class act.
Speaker 3: Is what fifty six point nine percent of the people
Speaker 3: do not lie?
Speaker 1: Yeah? All right, so you've won a couple in a
Speaker 1: row now, and you're probably gonna win this week because
Speaker 1: I didn't get Hunter Green because the injury, so I
Speaker 1: had to go with bringing out a big gun. I'm
Speaker 1: going to scooball at Saint Louis versus Cleveland. I can
Speaker 1: I can't mess around with these saving good players, like
Speaker 1: I'm now on a two game losing streak. Well, Kelly
Speaker 1: and I combined are on a two game losing streak,
Speaker 1: so I got to bring out one of the aces.
Speaker 1: I'm going scooball this week, all right.
Speaker 2: I didn't put a name machine. I figured I would
Speaker 2: do it live. So I've been I've been looking at
Speaker 2: the looking at the list. Let me make sure I
Speaker 2: don't have I haven't yet to use this picture yet.
Speaker 2: It looks like I have not, So I'm going to
Speaker 2: go with Framburg Valdez at Tampa Bay and then against
Speaker 2: the Mariners. That's gonna be my my pick for this week.
Speaker 1: All right, So school Ball versus Valdez. We'll see how
Speaker 1: that one goes this week. Hopefully your boy wormed him
Speaker 1: bounce back here. And let's wrap things up with our
Speaker 1: weekend excitement. It's rivalry weekend, which I didn't even really
Speaker 1: remember that that was the thing. But you know all
Speaker 1: the kind of local team rivalries, you know, Baltimore Washington,
Speaker 1: Subway series in New York, Chicago, all that stuff. A
Speaker 1: couple of fun pitching matchups that we get this weekend.
Speaker 1: Chris Sale versus Garrett Crochet is a very fun one.
Speaker 1: Paul Skeens versus Christopher Sanchez, who, according to that one
Speaker 1: ESPN article from a couple of weeks ago, is a
Speaker 1: top twelve ace in baseball. And then I just kind
Speaker 1: of wrote down, I want to see if Max Meyer
Speaker 1: can get going again. He was so good early and
Speaker 1: it's like we haven't really talked about him that much.
Speaker 1: It's been multiple weeks in a row of very much
Speaker 1: the other direction. His era was two ten on April
Speaker 1: twenty first, it's now four thirty seven, just three starts later.
Speaker 1: In those three starts, four innings, five earned runs, five
Speaker 1: innings five earned runs, six and a third innings five
Speaker 1: earned runs, So he's allowed five earned runs in each
Speaker 1: of the last three starts. Two of those ended up being,
Speaker 1: of course, one of those games. He had zero strikeouts
Speaker 1: the game against the Athletics. It's just been very, very
Speaker 1: bad the last three weeks after a superb start to
Speaker 1: the season. So can he bounce back here against the Rays.
Speaker 2: The Max Meyer thing pretty much coincides with me trading
Speaker 2: for him, so that's got one of those things where
Speaker 2: it's probably my fault. He has not been good since,
Speaker 2: like the day I traded Christian Walker for him, But
Speaker 2: I'd still make that trade. I'm still banking on the
Speaker 2: upside for me. I'll do two things. One, I broke
Speaker 2: down not raining, because it has rained pretty much every
Speaker 2: day here for two weeks. It's kind of insane how
Speaker 2: much rain we've been getting. We seem to go down
Speaker 2: here in Georgia. Like, I'll go like two months without
Speaker 2: any rain, and then I'll just rain every day for
Speaker 2: two weeks. I actually we had like sod installed in
Speaker 2: the backyard a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3: That's now like floating. There's so much water underneath it
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: And the other thing is before we didn't finish up
Speaker 2: the pitching streamers for the weekend, so I'll hit those
Speaker 2: real quick for my weekend excitement to close things out.
Speaker 2: I mentioned Brian Bayle on Saturday against the Orioles as
Speaker 2: an option Jack Lighter.
Speaker 3: We were going to stay away Sunday. You said you.
Speaker 2: Didn't really want to do Jack Lighter against the White Sox.
Speaker 2: Would you Can I interest you into Kamar Walker again
Speaker 2: or Kamar Rocker. I should say I was looking at
Speaker 2: Walker Bueler Kamar Rocker against the White.
Speaker 1: Sox equally, like I guess because it's the White Sox.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's much more volatile. Also, Walker Buehler is back
Speaker 2: against the Orioles. I probably wouldn't want to go with
Speaker 2: that one. And then Quinn Priester is projected to start.
Speaker 2: We'll see if that actually stays true against the Pirates,
Speaker 2: but probably not. Probably not messing around with that either.
Speaker 2: So Sunday doesn't look like a great day either, though
Speaker 2: if you did stream Ben Brown on Monday in a
Speaker 2: weekly league, you would also have Ben Brown on Sunday
Speaker 2: against the Reds, although it isn't Cincinnati unfortunately.
Speaker 1: All right, we will wrap a bear because I am
Speaker 1: up against it on the clock. Thanks everybody for tuning
Speaker 1: in to not just the segment of the cycle, but
Speaker 1: to hopefully our previous two segments as well on video
Speaker 1: or on audio. We did some rounding the basis, going
Speaker 1: through some trending topics, and of course we did our
Speaker 1: buys and sells and waiver pickups as well in those episodes.
Speaker 1: For Mayor and I, you know we are friends, to
Speaker 1: be clear, even though I haven't seen Mighty Ducks two,
Speaker 1: He's still angree with me about that, and so are
Speaker 1: the comments. But for Mayor, I'm Ryan Warman. Thanks for
Speaker 1: tuning in. We'll see again next time. Thanks for listening
