I mean, soda has 174 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: been on fire. You could do that. 175 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: And I'll go with Robert. So here's the point. We've 176 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: each got three for three spots left. Because everyone confirmed 177 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: it is to eight, so there's three spots left. We 178 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: each took three for those remaining spots, so I've got 179 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: Robert Tatis and Ellie. I think I'm getting two of 180 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: the three in the home Runner. 181 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, someone Lisa's where the home alone burglars order from wish. 182 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: That's that's also accurate comments. Keep him going, It's amazing. 183 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: Speaking of home runs, show, Hotani now has thirty one. 184 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: I picked him for the weekend. Good choice. Oh God, 185 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: tick up there, let's go. I'm not gonna make this 186 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: a whole love letter to Atani because we've done that 187 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: every day and Wonkee Penguin will get upset by the way. 188 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: As as Kelly said, and Kelly will be joining the 189 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: show on Friday, I'll be out of the office for 190 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: the day, taking the kids to New York watching SmackDown 191 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: live in Madison Square Garden. We're gonna go do a 192 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: couple of things in New York, just kind of take 193 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: a day off. But Kelly's right, this show did change 194 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: your life. It was this podcast where Kelly was on 195 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: here as a peanut and cracker jack, and two years 196 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: later now she's a full time employee at Fantasy Pro 197 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: so how about them apples? Not so bad? How about 198 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: mister Tovar in Colorado fifteen game hit streak. We talked 199 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: about him a couple of weeks ago when he was 200 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: at nine. Now it's at fifteen. Things are going well. 201 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: Still too many strikeouts on the year, but you'll love 202 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: to see Ezekiel Tovar. 203 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: You like him a lot from Yeah, and you like him. 204 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: I like him more than I do. Yeah, But I mean, 205 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 2: you know, hey, listen, he's getting it done. He's hit harder, 206 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: hits a little bit more. The barrel percentage is way down. 207 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: The counting stats are starting to get there. But he's 208 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: not my guy, but he's definitely yours with. Like also, 209 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 2: look at that Baseball Samon page barrel percentage, K percentage 210 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: x onoe. But it's really really down. 211 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: But well, I think he's a perfect trade candidate now, 212 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to trade him right now. You're going 213 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 1: to have him because I think I think this is 214 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: a great run. I think he had this run in him. 215 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: By the way, JP says, Walsh looks like a motorcycle cop. 216 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: I've got the motorcycle cop glasses though, that's the thing. 217 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: I have them somewhere there, bald Eric Astrono, you know, 218 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: oh there you go, talk about good podcasting and good TV. Anyway, 219 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: while we almost. 220 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: Got so lucky, we almost got lucky because I usually 221 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: I have a bag that I usually keep my aviators in. 222 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 2: What it would have been fire. 223 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, what do you have carrat top? 224 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: Is that what I'm working with? Redebt Meers. Another great performance, Redebtmers. 225 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: How about this the guy that everybody soured on so quickly, Readebtmers. 226 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: Everybody was so upset about Redebt Meers. Oh he's a bus, 227 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 1: He's a bus. Meanwhile we're looking up now now he 228 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: raised at three seven, Okay, but the strikeouts nine and 229 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: this last one in six innings, Redetmors has turned a 230 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: big time corner. I would I mean, this is why 231 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: you have to have patients with some of these things, 232 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: when you believe in them. And I know even you 233 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: to a certain degree, Welsh was a little I would say, 234 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: you know, frustrated with the early Redebtmor's returns. But the 235 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: month of June was a very good one for him 236 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: and for the angels who are now in this thing. 237 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean he's turned so much around. Everybody knows. 238 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: Like the slider VLO has been his biggest, biggest increase. 239 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 2: He threw at eighty six miles an hour last year, 240 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: it's up to almost ninety eighty nine point seven. The 241 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: whiff rate is through the roof on this thing. He's 242 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: also throwing it a lot more. Twenty four percent usage 243 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 2: last year, thirty six percent usage this year with a 244 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: thirty seven percent whiff rate, which is crazy. I mean, 245 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: the slider has been the saving grace across the board, 246 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: and batting average really kind of across most of these 247 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: double digit pitches is low. So you know, Redebtmers slider 248 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: has set everything up. K percentage is almost a percent 249 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 2: and expected dray under four. I just like everything that 250 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: read debt Mers is doing. He's just, you know, we 251 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 2: have to be comfortable that sometimes these guys are going 252 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 2: to have their like little ups and downs and how 253 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: long can we battle through it. 254 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: I would also say a couple of questions here in 255 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: the chad. This is a good one too, about mister Abbot, 256 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: who we're going to get to in a second. We're 257 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: gonna get to Abbot. Just hang on there. We will 258 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: talk about him. But let's talk about Justin Steel too. 259 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: Era leader Justin Steele, who is in my preseason video 260 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: of top ten breakout candidates. I think he was actually 261 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: the first one I talked about. Look, he has been 262 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: excellent on a Cubs team that we described him earlier 263 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: in the preseason as the silk hat on the pig, 264 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: like just because you go sign a bunch of mediocre 265 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: guys as make you a good team. Yes, you'll be 266 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: more competitive. At the end of the day, it's not 267 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: going to really show up in the win total. But 268 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: Steele has held up his part of the bargain. There 269 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: was a little blip on the radar with the injury. 270 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: We all held our breath, but he has come back 271 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: and he has looked good and he has been one 272 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: of the lone bright spots I think on the Cubs. 273 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: A lot of weak contact too, averaging one of the 274 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 2: better in the league, eighty five average exit velocity five 275 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: miles per hour exit velocity, which is really solid. Also, 276 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: the hard hit you want to talk about the week contact, 277 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 2: it's not just the ev it's a actual hard hit. 278 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: Numbers only thirty percent, which is top nine percent in 279 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 2: the league. Justin Steele and also looking at his his 280 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: zone chart, he does a pretty good job of covering 281 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: every quadrant. Fastball, the upper left corner slider, it is 282 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: carrying a little bit inside, but that's been effective, and 283 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 2: in the change up on the bottom. I mean he 284 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: has been pretty pretty solid across the board. 285 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Bill's got a question for us too, Is Freddy Bralta 286 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: going to turn things around? I say no, I think 287 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, the Freddy perlta risk was worth it to me. 288 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: In the draft. He's giving us some decent strikeout numbers. 289 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: E alright, I want to say, is a four to seven? 290 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: He goes, we're looking at this morning it was pretty high. 291 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: But at this point, you know, the Milwaukee Brewers seemed 292 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: like an enigma to me. And I mean, I'm sure 293 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: there's a better run in there. But I think when 294 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: you also look at the injury history, I think it's 295 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: enough downside of injury history where it's not a player 296 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm looking to buy low on. Let's put it that way. 297 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 2: What do you think I've never been a big guy. Yeah, never. 298 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 2: I mean the fastball velo has returned, but I mean overall, 299 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 2: the walks just keep got the walks and the strikeouts 300 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 2: going in the opposite direction nine point four walks per 301 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: nine with twenty six point one K percentage. That twenty 302 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 2: six is the lowest of his career with one of 303 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: the higher walk numbers also an expected era. Just you know, 304 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: selling any guys on expected stats right now, just still 305 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: over the force. I just don't think that team warrants enough. 306 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 2: I don't think he has I don't think he has 307 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: been good enough for any period of time that I'm 308 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: a buye on Freddy Perlta. I'm I'm out, I'm out 309 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: on Pralta. 310 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: Lee says with the mustache, Joey Pizapia transforms into Joey Plugs. 311 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: You do one, all right? 312 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: You know what I'd like to see with your look 313 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: right now is like a good old like just like 314 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: a mohawk, like with this look, but like I think 315 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 2: I want it to be the same color, maybe like 316 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: a white gray. Do you do you ever? 317 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: Let your hand is great, It's just you know, I 318 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: had taken the beer down on Sunday because they had 319 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: the TV stuff and then you know it could be darker, 320 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: it could be more, but you know, I mean, who knows. 321 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: Maybe one for you know, on Wednesday after the holiday, 322 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: I just let it keep growing like a hogan. 323 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: I want to see, like a hogan, a whole like 324 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: I had the. 325 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: Whole way and it just didn't Oh my gosh, I 326 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: got it. You know that would be something. Let's talk 327 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: about Andrew Abbot, because he's been something twelve strikeouts. Got 328 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: to talk about this rookie lookie seven to two thirds 329 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: in a very shallow league at Fantasy Pros actually picked 330 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: him up as a streamer. Somehow he was still on 331 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: the wire. I couldn't believe he was. I started him yesterday. 332 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: It was beautiful. He is now four to no. A 333 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: one point two one era since he's been called up 334 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: Welsh and we keep looking for, you know, reasons why 335 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: we think the Reds might be able to sustain. We love, 336 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: you know, some of the positive things they've done with 337 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: the youth culture here. And now Abbott has kind of 338 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: stepped up and become that guy at the top of 339 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: this rotation that I don't think anybody really saw coming, 340 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: did you. 341 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean I was a pretty big Andrew 342 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: Arabbit guy at the beginning of the year. This is 343 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: the guy that well, I mean, I'm not going to 344 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: say any of that, but like, did I think Andravia 345 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: could be successful. Yes, And I talked about him early on. 346 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: He was one of the guys that had the tacked ball. 347 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: In Double A. He had a twenty K per nine, 348 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 2: twenty K per nine and I believe around a twenty 349 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: IVB with these pre tack ball. What that just means 350 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 2: is like it's pre gripped, you know, so they don't 351 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: have to like do all the stupid crap that dimago 352 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: Hermand does with his cheating and stuff. But then he 353 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 2: goes to Triple A and those numbers came down, but 354 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: he was still like fourteen K per nine. His IVB 355 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: came down to around sixteen, So people were worried, Hey, 356 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: what's gonna happen overall? Is he really going to be 357 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 2: the real deal? And he has been a twenty nine 358 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: point four K percentage. His pitches haven't induced over a 359 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: two forty batting average I'm sorry, a two toho nine 360 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: batting average across the board expected batting average. The highest 361 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: is two thirty seven against the fastball. But we're talking 362 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: change up forty two percent with rate. You've got his 363 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: curveball with the thirty two percent whiff rate, He's not 364 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: going to be as good. But he throws strikes. He 365 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: induces these whiffs left and right, and he's been doing 366 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: this for quite a while in the minor leagues. It's 367 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: a really bad ballpark, and I would tell you, in 368 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: a redraft standpoint, I would look at trading him just 369 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: because that ballpark is not super super friendly and these numbers, 370 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: it will be impossible to keep these numbers. But he 371 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: could still be good, So I'm not just trading off, 372 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 2: but I would consider, like these insane numbers with a 373 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: rookie in great American ballpark, someone I would consider trading 374 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 2: for like a really good return. Otherwise, I do think 375 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: he can be like a top forty sp maybe like 376 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: right around there. He maybe something that's valuable. 377 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: If you're not getting something better than that in return, 378 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: then obviously he's a hold. Scott Bagman has entered the 379 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: Chad Are Good Pal. Dylan Ceese looks like he's on 380 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: the show today. I guess that's you, not me. I 381 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: don't think I look like Dylan. 382 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 2: Se Yeah, Dylan Ceese has got the mustache. I mean 383 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: the other obvious one would be sport. You know what 384 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: we need is we need spor here with musta. 385 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: Definitely needs a good screenshot. We'll get one of these, 386 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: we'll send it to Paul Sport, and we'll dedicate the 387 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: show to him. Today. Tanner Bibby, let's talk about him. 388 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: Another really good performance from him. Nine strikeouts and five 389 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: and two thirds innings, no runs. Bibby's been excellent. Kevin 390 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: Williams is up. I keep talking about it like I've 391 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: made investments in it. I'm gona talk about it. We 392 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: get to the betting portion of the show today. Cleveland's 393 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: for real. I think Cleveland's gonna go past the Twins. 394 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: I don't believe. I think as bad as the Cleveland 395 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: offense has been in the first half of the season, 396 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: I see a pathway for them to be better with 397 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: all of the Nailers hitting, with Jose Ramirez being that 398 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: lynchpin guy, with Andre Simenez who had a good day 399 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: yesterday starting to tick up a little bit. Whereas I 400 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: keep looking at Joey Gallo, I keep looking at Byron Bucks, 401 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: and I keep looking at Kirolof. I keep look at 402 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: these guys are just deficits right now. And then we 403 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: add in that Royce Lewis is out with an oblique. 404 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: That's another big loss to this offense too, So I 405 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,239 Speaker 1: think this is one to really monitor quickly. But what 406 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: do you think about Tanner Bibby's performance this weekend? It 407 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: was pretty impressive. 408 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I like Tanner, but I'm actually a 409 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 2: little bit surprised because my envision when I when I 410 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: close my eyes and I think of Tanner Bibby, I 411 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 2: think of a lesser walk, decent, strikeout controlled pitcher. But 412 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 2: he does have like an eight and a half walk percentage, 413 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 2: which I don't love. But he hasn't been inducing big barrels, 414 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 2: which you like. His pitches have just been I mean, 415 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: he's just been really solid across the board. I still 416 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: say Gavin Williams is going to be the guy the 417 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 2: rest of the year. I don't think there's a ton 418 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 2: ton of regression in play for Tanner Bibby, and he's 419 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: gonna be able to stick around for the season. So 420 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 2: Tanner Bibby is another one of those guys that you 421 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 2: look at you know you can't you can't sell a 422 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 2: cross because I wouldn't sell Biby for Abbot. But it's like, 423 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: I think those guys exhibit the same space. They live 424 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: in the same space, but the trick would be like 425 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 2: a guy like Andrew Abbott has got a little bit 426 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 2: of that Elle in him where it's like, all right, 427 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: he occupies the space of that fifty sp with like 428 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: Biby and a couple of the other's rookies, But because 429 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: he's got the buzz and the hype right now, his 430 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: value is worth so much more. Same thing like you 431 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: would have said with Ellie is Ellie is super exciting. 432 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 2: He probably occupies this top forty space overall, but he's 433 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 2: worth so much more. So when I can take advantage 434 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: of these guys and push them up in trade values, 435 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 2: I would. But Biby has got the team context for 436 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: the rest of the year, which I like. And by 437 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 2: the way, matchup today Gavin Williams Bryce Elder, who would 438 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: have thought Joe Joe Bryce Elder All Star game? In 439 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: the All Star Star we keep. 440 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: Waiting for the shoot to drop. I've written him up 441 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: in the cell high more than once on Fantasy Pros 442 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: this year. It's unbelievable. I mean, the guys just he 443 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: he can't be beat. And you know there's something to 444 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: the art of pitching and finding where to get the 445 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: outs in lineups. Rank these guys the rest of the season, Abbot, 446 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: Biby cease. 447 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 2: Ooh, someone in the chat said, trade Abbot for Cease, 448 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: and I think that is the territory. There are some ceas. 449 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: Trade all that's so Cease above Abbot rest of season. 450 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: I would go cease. This might not be popular. I 451 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 2: feel like I would go cease byby Abbot, and I 452 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: hate selling. I don't like selling Abbot short because in 453 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: fantasy those strikeouts are so much so sexier. But I'm 454 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: just a little bit worried when the league catches up 455 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 2: with Andrew Abbott, like I just don't think that I 456 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: just don't think the era and stuff is sustainable. I 457 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 2: actually kind of saw him as a little bit more 458 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: inflated era guy, kind of like Dylan sees to be 459 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: honest with the more inflated guy with higher strikeouts. But 460 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: I would go with the track record of cease and 461 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: then Abbot and Biby to me are kind of a 462 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 2: toss up, But I guess I would go with Bibby. 463 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: On team context makes sense. Uh Also, I know a 464 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: lot of people are talking about uh Uri Perez in 465 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: the last few weeks. This was the first really you know, 466 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: bad Uri Perez outing here six runs over the weekend. 467 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: Are any panic mode on? This? Is he starting to 468 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: hit a wall? You think? 469 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 2: I mean, what better way? This is like the the meme, 470 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 2: like the think smarter? What better way to the control 471 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,239 Speaker 2: your innings than them only go one third of an 472 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 2: inning because it gave up six earned runs. I don't know, man' 473 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 2: he was going up against Atlanta Like that's a horrid 474 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 2: I mean, the same thing could be said about Gavin Williams. 475 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: I think somebody in the chat asked, is Gavin Williams 476 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: to sit today? If you were going to sit him, 477 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 2: this would be the one set him against Atlanta. I'm 478 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: not worried about eury Prez. I'm worried about Uri Prez 479 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 2: in the macro sense of what does he pitch the 480 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: rest of the year. This is an excuse for them 481 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 2: to limit those innings and kind of I think they 482 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 2: just shut him down until after the half so we 483 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 2: can get his innings on the back half of the year. 484 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 2: But I'm not worried about the performance. I'm just worried 485 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: about them freaking out and trying to maintain his innings. Yeah, 486 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: because he's the best of all those guys. By the way, 487 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 2: you put if you had ury Perez good the rest 488 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 2: of the year over Dylan ceas I take eury Perez 489 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: over Dylan Ce's rest of season if ury Perez was 490 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 2: guaranteed to finish out the year. 491 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 1: All right, let's continue on here. Let's talk about the 492 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: other injuries. Uh Sean mcclanhangles on the fifteen day Iol 493 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: with the back tight as we warned you about it 494 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: last week. We're trying to prepare everybody for it. Just 495 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: Chisholm left Sunday is game with an oblique issue, so 496 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: he just came back. Now he's gonna go out again. 497 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: It feels like Royce Lewis is out with an oblique 498 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: as well, so that's gonna be weeks. Get the ten days, 499 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna be way more than that. Michael Kopek of 500 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: the White Sox fifteen day Iel with the right shoulder inflammation, 501 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: so he's going to be out a while. The good 502 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: news is Brian Reynolds got activated for Amber Valdez was 503 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: scratched Sunday with the ankle soreness. We'll keep an eye 504 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: on this, but they feel like he's going to make 505 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: his start coming up soon, which is good because he 506 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: is that favorite still for the American League Cy Young. 507 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: By the way, Kevin Gossman, who was once a long shot, 508 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: is now number two on the board. Just want to 509 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: say that on some books, just number two already. John 510 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: Hayman of The Post report that Edwardo Rodriguez is expected 511 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: to return on Wednesday to pitch against the A's. I 512 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: still say he gets two starts before he gets dealt, 513 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: maybe three, and Carlos Rodon finishes up his minor league 514 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: rehab on Saturday. So I don't know if they're gonna 515 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: keep him, They're going to let him make a start 516 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: before the All Star break or not. My guess is 517 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: not They'll just let continue to rehab and then when 518 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: you come out of the All Star break you have 519 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: Rodna ahead. 520 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I was gonna say, I actually saw a 521 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: couple other outlets. I want to say. It was like 522 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: Pro Baseball Talk or whatever, one of those that picked 523 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: up on the Edwardo thing that like he is one 524 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 2: of the biggest prime trade cancier, you know, you know, 525 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: I've been talking about it for like six weeks or whatever, 526 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 2: and that the same feeling is they want to rush 527 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: him back, get him back, get him a start or 528 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 2: two and then they want to ship him out. So 529 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 2: he's a prime trade candidate. So you know, it doesn't 530 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: feel as sexy as it did because you know, prior 531 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: to the injury, he was, you know, burning through innings 532 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: and he was like a great bet on first fives, 533 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 2: you know, because the Tigers would always be plus one 534 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 2: and a half. You could take them with those strikeout numbers. 535 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: So it's gonna be a little bit dicey to see 536 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: what he looks like when he comes back. But man, 537 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 2: he goes to the right team, he is going to 538 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: be an exponentially better fantasy option than he is right 539 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 2: now for the last couple of months of the year. 540 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: I still say Houston is the spot for him. Also, 541 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: I think the new name I'm going to throw in 542 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: this mix for the pitching market is Jordan Montgomery of 543 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals, who's also pitched very well recent 544 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw his name in the mix because I 545 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: don't see a whole lot of pieces where the car 546 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals really want to just sell off, but Montgomery 547 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,239 Speaker 1: might be really interesting one they could get a very 548 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: good return on. So I would keep a close eye 549 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: on that one. That could be another name. Here's a 550 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: fun stat. I love fun stats. Sturry Ruiz has forty 551 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: two stolen bases at the break here in terms of 552 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: you know, halfway point of the season forty two. Last year, 553 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: the entire season long leader was John Birdie who had 554 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: forty one. Hot Dog Welsh, how great has that been? 555 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: Also a fun stat too, looking at the nine inning 556 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: MLB games three or more hours long last year was 557 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: fifty seven percent of nine inning games where three plus hours. 558 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: This year, you want to get guess at what that 559 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: number is. What's the percentage of games fifty games were 560 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: of nine inning length or three or more hours last year? 561 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: You want to take a guess of what the number 562 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: is this year. 563 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 2: With thirty seven in a row, lower Bob oh twenty seven, 564 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: lower Bob seven nine percent, nine percent, nine nine percent. 565 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: Of MLB games have been and this is from code 566 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: to FI baseball have been less than three hours. That's 567 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable. 568 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: So that is crazy, you know. Also, I want to 569 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: just point out this is a side thing to go back, 570 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 2: what's unblievable. 571 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: And you know what one hundred percent of those nine 572 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: percent is. The Yankees and Red Sox continued Yeah. 573 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: How did Brent Rooker get the All Star nod over 574 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 2: his story? Ruiz? How did that happen? Ruiz's forty one 575 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: stolen bases. 576 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: Check sting the long ball? I mean, honestly, in the 577 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: in that format. If I'm the manager, I want Ruiz. 578 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: I want him as a pinch runner to hopefully go 579 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: steal a base and make something happen in the lad 580 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't see how perfect guy. 581 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 2: You have one stupid representative? How is it not story Ruiz? 582 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 2: Brent Rooker, that's crazy? Talk to me. 583 00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: Hey, look, man, I agree with you.

Spencer Streider 587 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: three runs. 588 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: Again that again? 589 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: Ooh with the mustache?

Ellie de la Cruz, 595 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: also over his last twenty three at bats hit one 596 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: forty three. No boy, no, I don't like that. And 597 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler over his last ten in the third innings 598 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: nine earned runs for him in sixteen hits. So guys 599 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: going in the wrong direction right now. Hopefully Ellie will 600 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: turn it around. But one thing that always goes in 601 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: the right direction is Welsh's finger. 602 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: Say what would you say?

Cleveland Guardians, Tampa Bay Rays, 655 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers hang on despite the Reds being fun, 656 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves and the Dodgers. If you put those six 657 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: teams Cleveland, Tampa, Houston, Milwaukee, Atlanta and the Dodgers, that 658 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: gets you to a spot where you could throw in 659 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: And I got a free bet. So I just made 660 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: this bet anyway along. I put some extra money in 661 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: it too. If you put just like ten fifteen bucks 662 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: on this, it pays out three hundred dollars. That'll pay 663 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: for a nice bill. That's what you do. What's happened? 664 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: This is the guy? 665 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: This is coming from. The Dodgers are stinky guy.

It's a shorter slate 732 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: today because everybody's playing tomorrow because of the July fourth holiday. 733 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: It's baseball, it's Murca. So that's what you got. Baltimore 734 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: and San Diego. That's where I'm looking for offense today. 735 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: I like the Aaron Hicks revenge narrative against the Yankees 736 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: two point four, Jose Miranda free Square two point zero, 737 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 1: and Orlando Arcia two point eight in that game as well. Now, 738 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Juan Soto for my home run call today. 739 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: I got a few homers from a boy show he 740 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: O Tani, but I'm taking a night off for him 741 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: because he's facing Blake Snell, the greatest picture on the 742 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: planet right now. So, well, who do you have for 743 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: your home run call tonight? 744 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: I'm just kind of trying to mix it up a 745 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 2: little bit. I killed my sofa over the weekend. I 746 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 2: was battling Mookie or Freeman, MOOKI or Freeman, and I 747 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 2: picked wrong. Probably gonna pick wrong today as well, because 748 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 2: he has been on a struggle bus. But going up 749 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 2: against Jake IV, I'm gonna go with Ellie de la Cruz. 750 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: Ellie to make a statement for the home run derby today. 751 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 2: That's gonna be my hopeful bet, my hopeful bet. And 752 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 2: now Joe, I have a question for you. Yeah, are 753 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 2: we here tomorrow? 754 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: No, we are not here tomorrow. We are off for 755 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: the holiday. We will be back on Wednesday, so regular 756 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: schedule programming, but we have a company holiday here Fantasy Pros. 757 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: So everybody takes the day off refresh a little bit, 758 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: which is good. So everybody go out there and enjoy 759 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: the games, hang out. We'll be back Wednesday as normal. 760 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: Before we go, we gotta answer Lee's question because Lee 761 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: is having a panic attack about Bryce Harper. Eight times 762 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: Bruce Harper. No, Bryce Harper. He said, that's how panicky 763 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: is about Bryce Harper. Well, he came back to early. 764 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: I said this when it happened. Am I panicked about 765 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: him a little bit because I think he came back 766 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: to early. Do I think there's room for him to 767 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: be better in the second half? I do so I 768 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: would be wanting to trade for Bryce Harper. But if 769 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: you ask me, is he gonna look the player he 770 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: was last year. I'm gonna say no, I don't think 771 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: at any point he looks like the MVP caliber Bryce Harper, 772 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have to wait till next season 773 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 1: to get that. What are your thoughts on Harper? 774 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the power. I think he's got three 775 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 2: homers in fifty games. The power has been zapped. He's 776 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 2: still trying to find his rhythm. He's still hitting a bit. 777 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 2: I think it's like in too. I don't have it 778 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 2: in front of me two eighties or something like that, 779 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 2: but the power. I was looking at him last night. 780 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 2: The power has definitely been zapped. But he's not like 781 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 2: a sit unless you've got somebody really great. If you're 782 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 2: playing in a ten man league, I think you can 783 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 2: justify the sit. In deeper leagues, I'm probably not. I'm 784 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 2: gonna just keep him out here. Also noted, and I 785 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: completely botched this. I should have thought of this. Sabos 786 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 2: Goggles just said that Adley Rutchman joined the Derby And 787 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 2: now if that's true, I haven't confirmed it. That would 788 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 2: make sense because that is where he's from. He is 789 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 2: from that Upper West coast I believe in And Yeah, Northwest, 790 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 2: So that would make a lot of sense if that 791 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 2: is true, that is what they are saying. I am 792 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 2: not seeing it as I don't have time to be 793 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 2: I'm scrolling on. 794 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: I don't have time for this. I've got mustache wax 795 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: to put in my my mustache. I have too many 796 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 1: things going on. 797 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 2: Well, I'm trying. I'm trying. We were at the end 798 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 2: of the show, so I can't but if it is, 799 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 2: that would be Adly and the Pacific Northwest. We did 800 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 2: a great job, Joe. We did a great job with mustaches. 801 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 2: I think these are pretty good looks. There's gonna be 802 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 2: some great screenshots out of this. 803 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: I like. 804 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 2: And I like that everybody created all the different characters 805 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 2: we had. I mean, remember that trading cards that I 806 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 2: was talking about. We had like thirteen new characters out 807 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 2: of these mustaches here. And my favorite for me, I 808 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 2: think was the I'm my own evil twin and yours 809 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 2: was you are truly Joey x Plug. 810 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: This is Joe Joey x Plug is definitely a yeah, 811 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: you definitely can't trust me at all.

I'm like, man, I kind of look like 818 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: one of those guys. I'm not quite one of the 819 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: hogs of the offensive lineman, but I definitely look at 820 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 1: one of the coaches. 821 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 2: Let's see it. 822 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: Let's see it.
