29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: my friend? Coming off of this big old baseball weekend?

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: What's up? Body?

31
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: I'm always great when I get to do a show

32
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: with you, man, it's always always good. I think we're

33
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: at the point where I think I've probably done more

34
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: shows with you than anybody else in the space. So

35
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: we're starting to get into a bit of a routine here. Yeah,

36
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: it's very fun. It's very fun time always that is trippy.

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I'm I'm slowly putting myself into

38
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: like I've done shows like Bubba, I've probably done hundreds

39
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: of shows with and you know, I'm collecting. I'm like

40
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: the like Thanos. I'm just collecting my infinity gauntlets of

41
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,639
Speaker 1: five to six people that I've done a massive amount

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: of shows with all Right, we got a lot to

43
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: talk about. Like I said, we have that little betting

44
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: side to it. We're also going to be talking about

45
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: zeb I know people are already in the chat talking

46
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: about ZEBI. We're absolutely going to talk about him. But

47
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: let's jump into it because we have two big returns.

48
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: One happened yesterday, one is happening today. Julio Rodriguez is back. Unfortunately,

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: the Julio Rodriguez that left us is the one that

50
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: also came back. We did not get a new version.

51
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: We need a multiverse variant. He came back zero for

52
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: five with five strikeouts. So let's talk about Julio for

53
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: one second. I don't think there's an application to the

54
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: rest of this season unless he completely fell off. But

55
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: where how far do you think Julio's going to fall

56
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: off into next year? I mean, and is there any

57
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: concern for the rest of this season. It's one game back,

58
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: but it had just been a really poorish season for Julio.

59
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: But now he's got new weapons.

60
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: It feels like it's probably going to be more of

61
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: the same of what we've seen going forward. Like I'm

62
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: not writing him off for future seasons at all, I

63
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: think he's still probably going to be a top twenty

64
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: to twenty five pick, because even in down year, it's

65
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: gonna be like seventeen or eighteen home runs, twenty five steals,

66
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: the average is still pretty good. But he's definitely not

67
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: gonna be in that first overall pick conversation like he

68
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: was this year. I mean, Akunya was going first, but

69
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: Julio was second pretty regularly. I don't think he's on

70
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: that same exact level. The team around him, the ballpark

71
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: makes it really hard to get by now. At the

72
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: same time, he went thirty two and thirty seven last year.

73
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: I think this is probably just a down year, but

74
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: it's hard to not, you know, be a little bit

75
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: more down on Julio than you would have been. But

76
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: rest of season, I don't have high expectations. I really don't.

77
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be fine. He'll be pretty good.

78
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: He won't be droppable or anything, but he's not gonna

79
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: be that first round player we were hoping for.

80
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: I don't think.

81
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had one really good month he had the

82
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: where to go was that July before being out he

83
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: hit three seventy five, but he had had a couple

84
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: months right around two hundred, right under two sixty. There

85
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: wasn't a whole lot of like reverse split luck or

86
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: anything like that. He actually had a higher babbage this

87
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: year than he had last year. I think any point

88
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: in his career is like a three forty five babbob.

89
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: So that takes away maybe some of that luck factor

90
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: in that's attached to a lower hard hit rate, a

91
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: higher strikeout rate, a lower barrel. I mean, so it

92
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: was all just kind of down. I'm not sure if

93
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: it's anything equitable that, like he is going to be

94
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: nothing or anything like that. But I do think he's

95
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna fall to the second round next year. I think

96
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: that's a very high probability unless he comes out really

97
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: really tough. Lee actually brought up see this is where

98
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: I think things get tricky. Week nineteen Julio or Nemo.

99
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm probably throwing Julio back in, even though we have

100
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: this one game which is like old golden sombrero of things.

101
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: But like all his new weapons are there. You know,

102
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: you do have Randy hitting near the top of the lineup,

103
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: You've got Roblest. It's you know, really been amazing. And

104
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: now he's with those pieces, and you've got Justin Turner,

105
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: who I think got banged up. But like, I'm still

106
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: gonna roll with Julio, but I'm open to the opportunity

107
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: of the possibility that we might be in a space

108
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: where you have to, like, Julio might not be a

109
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: must start every single week if you're doing weeklies and

110
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And I don't think he'll be a

111
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: first round or even off of like projecting fun you know,

112
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: like we were talking off air, we're not going to

113
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: go crazy into it, But dynasty Julio or Jackson Merrill

114
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: right now, I mean, like you're probably still going Julio,

115
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't blame anybody that was, like, hey, I'm

116
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: getting Jackson Merrill in a little plus if they traded

117
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: away Hulio, I think you're trading upside. But you know,

118
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: I think that's a legitimate question you can ask.

119
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: It definitely is I think, like you said, in terms

120
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: of upside, Julio has shown that he can be a

121
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: number one type of player, a top five player. Merril's

122
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: probably going to be a top fifty player this season,

123
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: but it feels like he's kind of maxing out what

124
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 2: he can do with his profile, where Julio is obviously

125
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: a down season, so it would be like a classic

126
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: by low cell High. If I had Julio in a

127
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: Dynasty league and I was offered Merrill, I don't think

128
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: I'd be able to do that straight up. But if

129
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: I had Marril and I was offered Julio, I think

130
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm taking Julio.

131
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, to your point, like Merrill is like at the

132
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: tippy top, and his stats almost look like this version

133
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: of Julio. Julio's like eleven homers, eighteen stolen bases. Jackson

134
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: seventeen homers, thirteen stolen bases. And you know, Julio's having

135
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: like an a blatantly down year that we think can improve.

136
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: Because also the things that are down, they're not down

137
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: to a point where we're like, holy crap, this is bad.

138
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: It's like a three percent barrel drop. That is, all

139
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: of these are big enough for us to be concerned,

140
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: but it's not like, oh, he can never you know,

141
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: he can never return to form or anything like that. Again,

142
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: also on the other side of it, we don't need

143
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: we don't have like a big breakdown to this, but

144
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets is returning today being activated. Thank you to

145
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: multiple of my leagues. We did hear though, this is

146
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: so stupid. They were like, hey, yo, he's coming back

147
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 1: as a shortstop. And then they're like, no, Dave Roberts

148
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: actually is coming back as a right fielder, so apparently

149
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: he's not going to play in the infield, and they're

150
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: gonna use this cavalcade of just like you know, whenever

151
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: Taylor's back and Edmund gets back and you've got Rosario

152
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: and just whatever pieces they're putting together, they're gonna throw

153
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: in the middle infield and he's going to go and

154
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: take over right field again, no application except throw your

155
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets back out there and feel great about it.

156
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, absolutely.

157
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: And the thing with the outfield, like he hadn't played

158
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 2: in the outfield this year, he was going to lose

159
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: that eligibility. So now we're gonna still have Mookie Bets

160
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: with outfield, with short stop and with second base heading

161
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: in the next season. So I'll take it wherever he's

162
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: playing on the field. You know, there's a bunch of

163
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: leagues where I have Mookie. They can put him behind

164
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: the plate for all I care, as long as he's

165
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: back out there.

166
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: That's all that matters to me.

167
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Oh, back, back back. Let's talk about mister Corbin Carroll,

168
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: who homered for the second consecutive game on Sunday as

169
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks beat up on the Phillies twelve to five.

170
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: A little bit. I guess more on that later. But

171
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: Corbin Carrol, oh, Joe, you talk to me about it,

172
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: because I don't know what to do. His batting average

173
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: still stinks. It stinks to high heaven. He has not

174
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: been able to pair any of these like really great

175
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: months together either. He doesn't have a month he has

176
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 1: I'm looking here, roughly a thirty to fifty point batting

177
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: average swing each month, and he has never hit over

178
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: two sixty on a given month this season. He is

179
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: up to two fifty seven right now in August, and

180
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: and this is his second consecutive the multi home run month.

181
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: He actually has nine homers since July. First thoughts on

182
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: Corman Carroll, How about this Corbyn Carroll or who the

183
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: arrest of season?

184
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: Based on the trajectories and the lineups and everything, I'd

185
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: probably go with Corbyn Carroll. He's looked really solid. Like like

186
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: you said, the batting average is still bad, but six

187
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: home runs six to dolen bases in July is really

188
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: good as a whole. Eleven homers, twenty one steals, Like

189
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: it's obviously not what you were wanting, but it's almost

190
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: like a trade turner type of thing from last season.

191
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: You know, he's picked it up and he's been not

192
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: hot to that same degree, but he's fully turned his

193
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: season around to the point where Corbin actually might get

194
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: back into the first round next season. That'll be an

195
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: interesting one. He might sneak into the back end. Like

196
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: let's say he keeps this pace up, finishes with twenty homers,

197
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: thirty steals, gets the average up to like two forty

198
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: or something. If he stays really hot, I think it's

199
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: a conversation at the turn at the one two turn.

200
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: Ah eh, even me Corby Garol guy, I don't think so.

201
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he's I think people will there might

202
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: be the temptation for the second round. I think he's

203
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: the third round guy. I actually think that like back

204
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: in second to third round could be just littered with

205
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: players that were speculating on that for bounce backs, like

206
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: the Julios could be in there. I think Corman Carroll,

207
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: like if he's gonna it's gonna be really tough for

208
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: him to hit over two thirty the rest of the way.

209
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to hit like I don't know what

210
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: the math would be, but whatever three hundred, let's say

211
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: for the rest of this month, the next month, and

212
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: that could probably get him over two thirty. And you're

213
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: still gonna be looking at a guy that hit two

214
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: thirty with twenty thirty. I don't know, Like the stolen

215
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: bases might be tempting. Maybe it is a back half

216
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: of the second round, but I think it's gonna be

217
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: more likely third round. But Gorman, Corman, Carroll continuing the

218
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: heat up process, and you know, I was super anti this,

219
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: but it ended up working out. Merril Kelly was in

220
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: that win. He only allowed two runs three hits over

221
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: five innings and he ended up getting four swing and

222
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: missus eighty five pitches. That was a twenty eight percent

223
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: CSW percentage. And he looked good against Philly. And he's

224
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: got Tampa Bay coming up, so they Meryl Kelly is

225
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: probably right back in the good graces of being able

226
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: to start Joe.

227
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, especially with the Tampa coming up.

228
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: If you're still seeing him available I'm not sure how

229
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: available he would be, but I'd happily pick him up there.

230
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: He's really been one of the more underrated pitchers throughout

231
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 2: the last couple of seasons three thirty seven, three twenty

232
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: ninety ras in each of the past two years.

233
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: I personally wasn't.

234
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: Really believing in it, but it's been long enough at

235
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: this point where you kind of have to buy into

236
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: to Meryl Kelly, especially with that matchup, pick him up

237
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: if you can.

238
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: Also, like Homer is in the side with my hat

239
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: and everything like that. With the Diamondbacks, like all they're

240
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: doing is just winning. Like they're scoring runs, they're winning games,

241
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: they're coming back, They've got depth in the bullpen, which

242
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: is still a little bit dicey. And you had a

243
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: Wardo and you had Marl both come back and be solid.

244
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: So at this point, every Diamondbacks starter he is at

245
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: worst streamable, at worse even Ryan Nelson, who's about to

246
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: get kicked out. What do we say? On Friday, me

247
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: and Bubba were talking. I said, hey, I mean Kittel

248
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 1: didn't even play in the game. He pinch hit, so

249
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: I'd screwed the bet. But I said, hey, Ryan Nelson

250
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: had struck out seven in three of his last nine,

251
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: and he had a couple of nine strikeout games. Bam

252
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: goes and strikes out nine more. In that every Diamondback

253
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: is streamable because of how hot this offense is and

254
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: how well the defense is playing behind it. You get

255
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: guys like Adrian del Castillo, who I think you guys

256
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: in two catcher leagues. I think I mentioned this last week,

257
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: but you should be looking to pick him up. Probably

258
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot tougher now because that bat is

259
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: hot and the Diamondbacks are rolling, and that's a big positive.

260
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: Also on the rolling side, we talked about him off

261
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: of that first start Jeffrey Springs. He allowed one run,

262
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: struck out eight Oriols across five innings in a two

263
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: to one win. Look at that for Jeffrey Springs on

264
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: the underlying numbers A sixty seven. This is the Jeffrey

265
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: Springs that I remember. Sixty seven percent whiff rate on

266
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: his change up again, I mean oriols, all right, Orioles,

267
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, maybe off speed stuff. He had six whiffs

268
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: on twenty three swings on the fastball, ten of fifteen

269
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: swings induced whiffs. That's an absurd with rate sixty seven

270
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: percent and a sixty seven percent on the sweeper. He

271
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: ended the game forty two percent with rate, so dudes

272
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: are just whip right through it. He also did a

273
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: really good job at throwing his fastball in the zone

274
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: and the keeping his secondaries out he actually induced. This

275
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: is wild. There were eight foul tips, only four of

276
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: them were on off speed. Everybody else has just whiffing

277
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: on it. So Jeffrey Springs looked really, really good and

278
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: is now back in the circle of trust. Correct.

279
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, very absolutely, Like I was really bought

280
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: in even after he kind of stunk up the joint

281
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: in those first couple of starts.

282
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: I was locked into some weekly leagues.

283
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: So that Baltimore start and I was thinking, oh my god,

284
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: this is going to be ugly. But he turned it

285
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: around like we were hoping he would before he went

286
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: down last year. This is a guy who was showing

287
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: signs of being one of the better pitchers in all

288
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: of baseball.

289
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: It was going to take some.

290
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: Time to get back into the swing of things, but

291
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: over the final six weeks or whatever we have left here,

292
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: I trust him immensely, and going into next season, I

293
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: am going to be all over Springs, hoping that price

294
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: doesn't get too too high.

295
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: But I'm a huge fan. I'm a huge fan of

296
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: what he brings to the table.

297
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll get too high, but if

298
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: he rattles off a couple more of these five and

299
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: strikes out eight, it's gonna get to the point where

300
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: we're like, oh, it's not gonna be free. Like I

301
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: think the ceiling for Springs is gonna be something around

302
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: like SP thirty five next year. I really think it'll

303
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: be tough for him to break the top thirty just

304
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: with all that misstime. But I don't think it's out

305
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: of pocket. Like this is an interesting one. Like Finway said,

306
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: drop crochet right now for Springs. I don't know if

307
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: I could do that, But that's the territory that you're

308
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: getting in with. Like when Springs is on, like he rolls,

309
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: he rolls. He just doesn't have a great fastball, and

310
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: he sets it up with secondary so teams that eat

311
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: up secondary pitches are going to go. I think Springs,

312
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: like I said, is capped right outside the top thirty

313
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: at best for next season, and hopefully it's even cheaper.

314
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: Right in terms of the price, absolutely, I could see

315
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: him finishing top fifteen or twenty if things break right

316
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: for him. Though the Crochet one is interesting. With what

317
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: we've seen as of late, you wouldn't do that.

318
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: I feel like I might.

319
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: It's just like, I don't know. It was one start,

320
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: like one start that really imploded right now, I'm like

321
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: in a ten team league maybe, but like you just

322
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: have to remember like Crochet also was like the leader

323
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: pitching war leader in the first half, leader in strikeouts,

324
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: like he was the most dominant. Yes, back half, he

325
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: might be wearing down. Yes, there could be some rifty

326
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: type of things that are happening with the White Sox.

327
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: There's no run support. That's why I said ultimate SLF.

328
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: I'd moved him down. I was as soon as he

329
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: wasn't getting traded, or as soon as he put out

330
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: the like I'm not gonna play for a playoff team

331
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: without an extension. Down. We were down, down, down, But

332
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: to the point where we're just dropping him, I don't know.

333
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: I will say this, if you were to drop him,

334
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Springs is the type of player that you would want.

335
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: This is who you would do it. I don't think

336
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: I would advocate for dropping Crochet. At this point. But

337
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: maybe he's just going to rattle off a bunch of

338
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: poop starts the rest of the way.

339
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: I just the way they're using him. He hasn't gone

340
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: more than five innings in like a month. I really

341
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: worry he's not gonna get wins. He wasn't gonna get

342
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: wins regardless in Chicago, But I do worry about what,

343
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: like we might keep you getting to the point of

344
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: a total shutdown. I don't know if they're gonna just

345
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: keep throwing him out there for three innings. Does it

346
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: make sense with the team that's got what twenty seven

347
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: wins this year? Does it make sense to keep throwing

348
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: him out there in September when they're playing for nothing.

349
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: They're probably gonna trade him in the off season. I

350
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: worry about his value. I was a huge fan of Crochet,

351
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: but you know, to your point, you gotta move him

352
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: way on down if you still I mean, if I'm

353
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: still seeing springs out there in a ten team league,

354
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: I feel like I do it. If it's like a deep,

355
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: twelve fifteen team league, I don't think I would cut

356
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: Crochet yet, but shallow league players, it's a it's a

357
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: tough conversation for sure.

358
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: Well, it's actually interesting about what you said, Like if

359
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: you're in like a deeper twelve team league and Springs

360
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: is out there and there's not a lot else out there,

361
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: like that actually kind of makes it tough because I

362
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: was gonna argue that with Crochet. If you're in a

363
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: ten team league with you know, the Merril's and the

364
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Springs and I don't know Ben Lively so whatever,

365
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: Like there's like cool stuff sitting out the wire that

366
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: you could stream. You might be better streaming with all

367
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: those options than going down this road with Crochet where

368
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: you could dump him and then you're just kind of

369
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: in a tough spot if it's a deeper league, Like

370
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: if you let out, someone's going to pick him up.

371
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I tend to not want to be

372
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: like he's completely done, But Springs is a type of

373
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: guy that I would pick up. Another guy you might

374
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: want to look at DL Hall. This was one of

375
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: Joe's favorites. Joe Pisapia was finally activated and he fanned

376
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: nine well, allowing three runs and four and two thirds

377
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: against the Reds. They even pushed him up to ninety

378
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: two pitches. So pretty solid for DL Hall. He's going

379
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: to be a strikeout option against the reds Now. Let's

380
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: talk about some rookie Lookie, here, two rookie pieces I

381
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: have for you. One's good, ones bad. Zebbie Matthews, one

382
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: of the highest risers this year, is definitely a player

383
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: you're going to want to look to stream the Twins.

384
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: They are calling him up. He's a twenty four year

385
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: old who was in High A dominated, then went to

386
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: Double A dominated and one of the biggest things to

387
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: take away not is just his stuff where he can

388
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: push it up to ninety eight fastball, got a really

389
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: good slider and cutter. He has some of the best

390
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: strikeout to walk numbers. It's George Kirby esque in the minors.

391
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: He has struck out one hundred and fourteen batters while

392
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: walking only seven. He has walked seven this entire year.

393
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I want to say it's

394
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: like one start. Maybe it's no starts or one start

395
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: of multi walks. He just doesn't He is a great

396
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: command pitcher. The big fastball has been deuced. It's a

397
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: five pitch mix inducing a bunch of strikeouts, and we've

398
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: i'n't found on following him all year long. It's kind

399
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: of one of those pop up guys. There were a

400
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: couple of those older where you looked at them and

401
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: you were like, twenty four year old, twenty three year

402
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: old doing this at you know, a ball. Let's see

403
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: if he gets challenged. He has met the call every

404
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: step of the way, and now he's getting up to

405
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: the majors and it's kind of like Pabloque to me,

406
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: there's a Pablo nest to him. Where Pablo doesn't like

407
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: to walk a whole bunch, you can usually bet his

408
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: under one and a half walks and that pays off. ZEBI, Matthews,

409
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: are you going to prioritize picking up one of these rookies,

410
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: a guy like him with that repertoire? Are you gonna

411
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: prioritize picking him up right now?

412
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: I'll take a shot on him.

413
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: I had a couple questions this morning about pick him

414
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: up for Max Meyer, and I said, yeah, I'd probably

415
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: make that swap Meyers look pretty rough.

416
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: You know, I think the marlin just kind of ruined

417
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 3: his season.

418
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 2: Matthews is interesting because the command is, like you said,

419
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: just like stupid. You know, you don't see this kind

420
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: of stuff, especially with the strikeout right where it is

421
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: like you'd expect like a Zach Eflin type of strikeout

422
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: right here with this, with this type of walk rate

423
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 2: point four to seven walks per nine. The thing that

424
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: does wear me a little bit is he got a

425
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: little bit of homer happy once he moved up to

426
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: triple A. There twenty five percent homer to fly ball,

427
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: one point nine homer per nine. It's a small sample size,

428
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: but it's something that I do want to keep an

429
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 2: eye on a little bit. Did bother him last year

430
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: a little bit as well in High A. It's not

431
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: a huge concern for me, though. I think that he

432
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 2: definitely has the skills to have success right away, and

433
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: I would pick him up in most cases. Maybe not

434
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: like we're talking about in those ten teamers where the

435
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: wires just packed with goodies there, I might not want

436
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: to take a chance, but I think in most twelve

437
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: fifteen teamers, I'm taking the shot on Matthews.

438
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I definitely am. I think something that you have to

439
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: watch for are command pitchers that are gonna sit around

440
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: in the zone, gonna be a little bit more susceptible

441
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: to homers. It happens to Kirby as well. But if

442
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: those pitchers then have like you know, strikeout stuff, which

443
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: Zebbi does, I think that can make up for it,

444
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: so I'm not too worried about it. He is still adjusting.

445
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: This is one of those guys that's like bump up

446
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: up levels, you know. It's kind of similar to what

447
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: Jackson Holiday did last year, but not making the majors,

448
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a big transition stuff. They're probably

449
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: gonna just want him to throw strikes and command like

450
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: he does, so you get the wrong guy. There could

451
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: be a home or two. But I think zeb would

452
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: be a solid streamer right now, and anybody in open

453
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: keeper leagues, you know, with like ten or something like that,

454
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: I would consider picking him up because, like I said,

455
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: the stuff is there. Zebbi is very very interesting. On

456
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: the inverse. We got info from the Yankees. Brian Cashman

457
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: told MLB Network on Sunday there is no quote, no

458
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: current lane to call up Jason Domingaz, which is absurdly annoying.

459
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: Is ridiculous. The full quote over from World there's currently

460
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: no lane for us to bring Dimingas up. It's nice

461
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: to know he's there. He's just knocking rust off and

462
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: waiting for his opportunity if it comes. Booh, it's annoying.

463
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: It's I would say, it's actually as annoying I know

464
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: for everybody else's cam and Aro. You know, I've moved

465
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: off of the like get excited about camon arow thing

466
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: long ago, but it's the same level of it. And

467
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 1: they're prioritizing Alex Vdugo and his defense. I tell you,

468
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: I've watched Jason in person a lot. He is not

469
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: a good defender in the outfield. They're prioritizing for Dugo's

470
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: defense over his bat and that stinks for us because,

471
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: by god dude, the second half of this year we

472
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: were like Juter Kremenaro and Jason Domingo's three two of

473
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: the three that we care about and that we want,

474
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: and it's not working out. So I really just do

475
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: think in any instance where you were vying for stuff

476
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: in Redraft, there's no reason to care about cam and

477
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: Arrow and now Jason Dominguez even more. I thought there

478
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: might have been the lane, but apparently that lane is

479
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: closed and it's closed for construction for the season.

480
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: Well, the fact that Cammanaro had some at bats last

481
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: year meant that. I think he's like limited to ninety

482
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: five or something at bats before he loses that rookie

483
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: eligibility that gives him maybe a couple of weeks at

484
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: the end of the season. It's been frustrating. I think

485
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: the injury probably did mess with him there. If he

486
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: didn't get hurt, he was healthy the whole year. Hard

487
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: to think that he would have stayed down. He's basically

488
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: a hosted situation. Yeah, that's that's pretty accurate from Lee

489
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: in the chat.

490
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 3: As when it comes to Jason Domengez and Virdugo, this

491
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: is ridiculous.

492
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: Like it's not like Verdugo is giving you Brenton Doyle,

493
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 2: Dalton Varshow, Kevin Kiermeyer level defense.

494
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 3: He's been pretty good. He's like decent enough.

495
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: But to keep a guy like Dimegus off the roster,

496
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: I don't really understand it. The way that Verdugo has

497
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: been leading off, I think is the craziest thing. Why

498
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: is Verdugo leading off? I believe he is the worst

499
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: hunt pace percentage on the team. It's three hundred. It's

500
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: ridiculous for Judge and Soto to have to have Verdugo

501
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: ahead of them. But I guess the Yankees are content

502
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: with what's going on. I think they think the Judge

503
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: and Sodo can carry them in the postseason. I wonder

504
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: if maybe we get Dimingas up in the last couple

505
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: of weeks, if he's able to prove himself, maybe he's

506
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: able to sneak himself onto the postseason roster. But in

507
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: terms of fantasy, I've kind of just thrown in the

508
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: towel for this year for both of those.

509
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: Guys, just enough time for him to not lose his

510
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: roster qualifications so that he can be a rookie next year. Camonaro,

511
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: Jason Dimingez your first best bets for Rookie of the

512
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: Year in the AL for twenty twenty five, because it

513
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: doesn't look like they're going to exhaust it and it

514
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 1: kind of stinks. How about this for fun? I loved

515
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: this because I love this guy in general. Let me

516
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: find my piece that I dragged. Where the hell did

517
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: I move it? Here?

518
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: All right?

519
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: If you saw yesterday, I believe it was yesterday. Logan

520
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: Gilbert goes out, strikes out, or it strikes out a

521
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: bunch ghost seven like he does. I think he's gone

522
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: thirteen innings over his last two give it up one

523
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: earned run. He's a monster. Immediately following the game, this

524
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: is shared by his teammates. He goes seven straight and

525
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: immediately goes into the players I guess lounge area and

526
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: starts rocking up What College Football? The new college football

527
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: game on PS five and starts rocking his seasons. You

528
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: can see Logan just sitting there. I tell you in person,

529
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: he's one of He's one of the best baseball players

530
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: I've ever been around. He's so persaval He's such a

531
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: fun dude. First and last out on the Mariners camp.

532
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: That's something I've always said, even though I was a

533
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: little anti him, but it's hard not to love him.

534
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: When you go out and professionally dominate at your level

535
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: and then you get on and you're like, all right now,

536
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: I gotta now, I gotta get my Eastern Washington dynasty

537
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: to the to the you know, to the big game

538
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: versus Alabama. So just you know, shout out. You guys

539
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: can all appreciate that. Have you played? Are you a gamer?

540
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 3: Guy?

541
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: Do two games?

542
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

543
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: But not really college football. I'm more like the show.

544
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: I'll play some Madden, I'll play some two K All

545
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 2: the four major sports really college.

546
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: I haven't really gotten into it. I was thinking about

547
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: getting it.

548
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: What I was wanting was like the ability to download

549
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: historical rosters and play with like Reggie Bush sharing his

550
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: Heisman year type of thing. But I think it's the

551
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: whole image and likeness that kind of messes that up.

552
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 2: But I think I'll probably eventually came in.

553
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I probably should. I just haven't played.

554
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: I haven't played enough video games. But that is one

555
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: of the best. So shout out to Logan Gilbert for

556
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: dominating on the field and online as well. This was

557
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: one one other just for fun. I just wanted to mention.

558
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: I was actually talking with someone about this the other

559
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: day and we've mentioned it briefly here. Paul Skeins has

560
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: been dominant all season long. He got roughed up a

561
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: little bit this week, and I was having this conversation

562
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: with this person about Jackson Merrill and the season that

563
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: Jackson Merrill has been having. I mean, you're hitting close

564
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: to three hundred. You know, you're putting up counting stats

565
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: that are lining up to maybe be a twenty twenty season.

566
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: He has held this Pattery's team up as of Friday

567
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: on a certain book Paul Skens was minus forty five

568
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: hundred minus four. Think about that for a mente minus

569
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: forty five hundred to win Rookie of the Year, absolutely

570
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: absurd number. Today's Monday that one. I just want you

571
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: guys to understand how volatile this is. And I am

572
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: semi rooting for Jackson Merril because I put a preseason

573
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: bet in at like plus seventeen hundred for Jackson Merril

574
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: to win Rookie of the Year in the NL. I

575
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: had him and Jackson Churio. The odds as of Monday

576
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: have moved from minus forty five hundred to minus three

577
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: to ninety for Paul Skeins. Jackson Merrill was plus nine

578
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: point fifty on Friday is now plus two point fifty.

579
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: Do you think at all that Jackson Merrill as a hitter,

580
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Traditionally it's hard for pitchers to win this. Do you

581
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: think Jackson Merrill should be vying for this Rookie of

582
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: the Year award doing the whole season dominating with the Padres.

583
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: He has held this Padres team up. Or do you

584
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: think this no matter what Paul Skeins does, he's going

585
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: to lock it down.

586
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 3: I tweeted this exact thing the other day.

587
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: I said, I don't know if it's a hot taker

588
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: or not, but I'd probably give it to Jackson Merrill

589
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: if I had a vote, And it was kind of

590
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: a mixed reaction. Some people thought I was crazy, some

591
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: people thought that some people agreed with me. I think

592
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 2: that the odds have been kind of weird for awards

593
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 2: this season.

594
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 3: Deal.

595
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: We won't talk about al MVP maybe later on in

596
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: the week, but it seems like the books have just

597
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: assumed these awards are fore gone conclusions, and they're not.

598
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they don't like to give these awards the

599
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: pitchers to begin with, but what if Skenes has, you know,

600
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: another four starts down the stretch where he allows four

601
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: or five or.

602
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: In runs, they can't give him Rookie of the Year.

603
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 3: They can't Merrill.

604
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: Well, also, like if the Padre, what if the Padres

605
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: overpast the Dodgers, They're right there, you know what I'm saying.

606
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: Jackson Merrill has literally been the healthy constant. Bogarts was hurt,

607
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: Tatisa's miss time, Muskrove has been hurt. God knows where

608
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Darvish is right now. The only constant, Hassan Kim was

609
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: awful at the beginning to the only constant has been

610
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: Jackson Merril, who by the way, is playing like gold

611
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: glove at a new position to start the year and

612
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: he's hitting like crazy. Just something to think about that,

613
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, Jackson Merrill might pull this and the pitching

614
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: hitting side makes us really dicey, you know. Stryder kind

615
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: of maybe should have won it the other year and

616
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: Michael Harris ended up the same team, makes it a

617
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: little bit different. But just something to be on the

618
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: lookout for if you do have a Merle ticket out there,

619
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: that Merle might be getting that. And the Al Unfortunately

620
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: for Joe, he's you know, for him to not be

621
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: here would be fun because we could talk about Langford

622
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: because Langford is not even in the top five right now.

623
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: Colton Kowser and Luis Heal seemed to be able to

624
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: be running away with this. Looks like it might be

625
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: Cawser right now, which would have been a big steal

626
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: in a surprise to me if you were in that

627
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year run all right, three up and

628
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: three down, three up. Number one. Five players on Sunday

629
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: hit multi homers, had two homers or more and two homers. Essentially,

630
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: I went to look by the way, I wish I

631
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: could find it. I couldn't. Wanted to know what is

632
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: the most amount of two homer performances in one given day?

633
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: Like how many players hit two or more homers? I

634
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: could not find it online because yesterday five players did that.

635
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: It was Soto for Joe cal Raley, Jorge Silaire, Andrew McCutcheon,

636
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: and Byron Buxton, and they, by the way, on those

637
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: homers combined for eighteen RBI. If anyone knows that number,

638
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: I would love to know what is the most amount

639
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: of two homer individual performances in one given day?

640
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 3: That's a that's a Sarah Lang's tweet, Wait and happen.

641
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have the ability to look it up. Like,

642
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: if that's not it, what do you think it is?

643
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: If five isn't the most in one given baseball day? Like,

644
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: what do you how many two home run performances do

645
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: you think would be the most.

646
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: Height of the steroid era? I'm not sure. It could

647
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: be like double digits. I'm not sure. Really, it's crazy.

648
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: I actually have no educated guest there. It could be twelve,

649
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: could be fifteen. I actually have no idea.

650
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, like seven. If that's not the most,

651
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: it's like seven feels right to me. Second up on

652
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: the three up and three down, Brandon Law Andresimenez both

653
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: had double stolen bases on Sunday, and Luis Castillo went

654
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: six struck out nine. So those mariners have been doing

655
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: some work. Those pitchers consistently bring them in. It's wild having.

656
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean, really, that's why this team would be the

657
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: most dangerous in the playoffs if they had a little

658
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: bit better consistency on the pitch. On the hitting side

659
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: going you know, uh, George Kirby, Logan Gilbert and Luis

660
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Castillo devastating, absolutely devastating on the three down. Chris Bassett

661
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: four innings, seven earned runs, gave up two homers. Chris

662
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: Sanchez got obliterated by the Diamondbacks four and two thirds,

663
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: gave up twelve hits and seven earned runs. And Jared

664
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: Duran zho for three with three strikeouts, and we found

665
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: out he does not like tennis rackets. Jared duran is

666
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: going to get suspended. Bad bad choice across the board.

667
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: He decided to use some profanities to a guy that

668
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: was yelling at him that he needed to hit with

669
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: a tennis ran and he came with a vengeance of

670
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: poor language, very bad language, hateful language, and Jerry Durant's

671
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: he's going to be going through it for a little bit,

672
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: so Jaron Duran No thanks. Injuries, Let's go on the injury.

673
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: Nothing to talk about there, Joe, nothing to even analyze

674
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: on the injuries. Tory Levello told reporters on Sunday that

675
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: Lordus Gurriel Junior was removed due to tightness in his

676
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: left hamstring. Also, we had lost to tell Marte, but

677
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: Marte is presumed to be coming back today. By the way,

678
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: someone in the chat said, could tell Marte number one

679
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: second basement next year?

680
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, overall, tuve do you take him over all

681
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: tub Yeah? I don't know, healthy Mookie bets.

682
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: It's not a second baseman's the right fielder now or shortstop.

683
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if I take him over all two

684
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 3: a like that?

685
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: Can I don't think that's just going to qualify at

686
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: second base next year.

687
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: He probably got enough games in this year, didn't he He.

688
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: Played shortstop almostly, and he played like sixty seven of

689
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: his games at short so I think he has like

690
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: thirteen games at second, so I don't think so.

691
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 2: Maybe i'd be like Yahoo, he probably will NFBC. I

692
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: guess yeahs on you format. But Altubage is so consistent

693
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: year in a year out with Katel is brilliant that

694
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: he's been. There's not so much consistency there year in

695
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: and year out in terms of these type of like

696
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: top fifty seasons. He did it in twenty nineteen, he's

697
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: doing it this year. But Altuoba just does it every

698
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: single year.

699
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: I don't know.

700
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: If we had time, I would put a poll out

701
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: and I think it would be seventy percent Kutel. But

702
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong here. But hopefully we'll get lorrid Is

703
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: back here. James Paxton is undergoing an MRI on his

704
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: right calf on Monday had to be helped off. Riley

705
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: Green is expected to begin a rehab assignment a triple

706
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: A on Tuesday, so he should be back soon. Dodgers

707
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: they placed River Ryan on the fifteen day IL because

708
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: he is gone for the season. They announced right elbow

709
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: injury and Andrew Friedman with the Dodgers reported that Max

710
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: Munsey is going to be activated off the IL on

711
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: the next Dodgers homestand which I believe is next or

712
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: this coming weekend. So I think that's where it is going.

713
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: So you should be able to let Dodgers getting some

714
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: reinforcements here. All right, let's reinforce these bets. It's time

715
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: for Mondays best bets of the day. Look at that

716
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: with Joe Rico in the well. Still no updated artwork.

717
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: Almost at the point it doesn't matter. We should just

718
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: keep it here, all right, best bets here, Joe. I

719
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: almost for a minute there thought you copy and pasted

720
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: what you had on last time? Can I ask you something?

721
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: Do we only have you on when Taj Bradley pitches?

722
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: You have put I'm just I'm just killing it now.

723
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: You've put TODs Bradley back on here. You've put todz

724
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Bradley every single day you've been on this show. Somehow

725
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: he always pitches when you're here.

726
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on like once every five days, so it

727
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: kind of makes sense. But I'm contractually obligated to bet

728
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: Taj Bradley overs when I see them on the board.

729
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 3: I especially when it comes to strikeouts. The dude is.

730
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: One of the better strikeout pitches in all of baseball.

731
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: I know that last start did not go terribly well

732
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: for him, but they're still setting the lines really low.

733
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: At five and a half, he's consistently going over. He's

734
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: consistently hitting six seven eight strikeouts this season five and

735
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: a half. It's only minus one oh five, but it

736
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: feels like pretty decent bet there. That was actually the

737
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: second one, the one that I'm prioritizing is Lad Guerrero Junior.

738
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: He did have that long hit streak. I think it

739
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: was up to twenty one or twenty two games. It

740
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 2: did get snapped, but he is, you know, facing the Angels.

741
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: Tonight's facing Davis Daniel. Not the trickiest of matchups here.

742
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: So I'm taking over two and a half hits, runs

743
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: and RBIs at plus money a decent chance. He gets

744
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: that out of the way in the first inning by

745
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 2: taking one over the fence. He has been incredible. Vlad's

746
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: been back to like twenty twenty one level Vlad for

747
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: those amazing for most of the season, and I think

748
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: that this would you.

749
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: Really would you want next year Julio or Vlad.

750
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: Julio.

751
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: I know the stolen base for Julio thing, but okay.

752
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: It's still Julio for me as a Blue Jays fan.

753
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: As a Toronto Homer, I'd still take Julio, but it's

754
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: it's getting pretty close. They're gonna be pretty close in

755
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 2: terms of ADP. But I really like Flat tonight and

756
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: then the final one A little bit different from what

757
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 2: I usually do here, but Atlanta San Francisco. I'm taking

758
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: the under on the total for the game at six

759
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: and a half, which is a pretty low total. The

760
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: reason the reason I'm doing that is wet. It is

761
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: Chris Sale and Blake Snell who have been two especially

762
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: Chris Sale the entire year has been brilliant, but Blake

763
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 2: Snell is fully into second half Snell mode. He looks

764
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: like he is gonna be one of the best pitchers

765
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 2: in the second half, like he is pretty much every season.

766
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: And I think, as risky as this.

767
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 2: One is, getting it at plus was it plus one

768
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 2: hundred here, I'm betting on the Aces being Aces tonight.

769
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: Well see, I'll bullpens worry me a little bit too.

770
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Kamillo davall option one of the things I

771
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: did not see blows of save gets option. Camilla davall

772
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: Is doesn't need to be rostered in fantasy right now,

773
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 1: so I probably would have loved to play and see

774
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: what that like. Three and a half runs, so the

775
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: first five looks like but I like that. That's tricky,

776
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: and that's sneaky, sneaky on the plus money. All right,

777
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: three bets I've got, Well, I'm playing on the hit

778
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: run and RBI, and I'm going with Corbyn Carroll. I

779
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: don't bet Corbyn Carroll a lot, but you've got Colorado

780
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: as the matchup. Corbyn Carroll hits around sixty points higher

781
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: at home right now. He has hit this in two

782
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: of his last games. Hit run RBI over two and

783
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: a half, it's plus one third five. Feel very good

784
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: about that with Corman Carrol, especially on the trajectory he's on.

785
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: As we mentioned earlier, he is a hitting' in August.

786
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: Second up, I'm going with Kansas City Minnesota, no run

787
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: first inning, Little Nerfy minus one twenty five, Brady Singer,

788
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez, no runs. They're about in the middle tier.

789
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: Both of these teams do not score in the first

790
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: inning when they are on the road, and that is

791
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: going to be Kansas City at this point. Minnesota does

792
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 1: score quite a bit more at home, but they're still

793
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: middle of the pact overall, So we're going with the

794
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: odds that both these pitchers will hold it down in

795
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: the first inning, no run, first inning with good odds,

796
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: and finally the prop cheat sheet over on Betting Pros.

797
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: This is their second highest on the total basis, but

798
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: I believe it had a much better track record. I

799
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: think it was like eight of the last fifteen or

800
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: maybe ten of last fifteen. This is hit I'm going

801
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: with total basis. Freddie Freeman over plus one thirty five.

802
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: Number one was like, it's like profar or a catcher

803
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: or something like that. But you can go over to

804
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: Betting Pros. You can go and check out the cheat

805
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: sheet and then you can sort by different types of

806
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: props and you can see, you know, what has the

807
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: highest odd percentage, what's the best return plus money. You

808
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: can do a bunch of sorting. This was one of

809
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: the top total base plays. They've been pretty dang good

810
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: this season. So Freddy Freeman over one and a half

811
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: total base is at plus one thirty five. Cormacarrol hit run, RBI,

812
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: no run first in Kansas City, Minnesota. Freddie Freeman total

813
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: bases for me. Joe has got Vlad Guerrero hit run RBI, TODJ.

814
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: Bradley strikeouts over and the Atlanta San Francisco total on

815
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: the under. He's a madman. Friends. Those are our best

816
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: bets of the day. That's right, brought to you by

817
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: bet three six five and Betting Pros. All right, Joe,

818
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: let's take a look at our home runs. And let's

819
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: take a look at the home run board. Da da da.

820
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: Joe is still on at thirty two. Fred Dinger, are

821
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: you in here? Because I got to this weekend from

822
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: from Matt Olson. I believe that puts me at twenty

823
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: seven twenty eight. I feel like I'm close. But Joey

824
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: p is still holding on at thirty two. If Frey

825
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: Dinger's on there at thirty two as well, I'm at

826
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: twenty nine. Oh my god, I'm right there. Wonkee has

827
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: got thirty six in twelfth place, but the top spots

828
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: go to Elskel and South African Gee, who are both

829
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: over the forty marker on August twelfth. Holy crap at

830
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: forty one, be Trot Larry at thirty nine, JJ Tator. Also, geez,

831
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: we got five people at thirty nine. This race is close,

832
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. That Vladimir Guerrero bat looks mighty tasty

833
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: to more people as he has gotten hot and looking

834
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: like an almost first rounder, and that is quite a race.

835
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: But my race, my friends, is simply just getting on

836
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: the board over Joe Piezapia. So I'm going to try

837
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: to do it today. But Joe, let's start with you.

838
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: Where are you going for your home run call?

839
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 3: I'm going back to the chalk. You know.

840
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: The first few times I was on was Nolan Gorman,

841
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: Jorge Shilaire. Last week I took Bobby Wood Junior. He

842
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 2: went double dong. I think Welsh and I actually both

843
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: got double dongs when I was on the show last week.

844
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: So I'm going Aaron Judge, he is going to hit

845
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: the first home run that Kai Bush has surrendered in

846
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: his career in the first inning tonight. That is my

847
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: guest here. You look pretty rough in this first start.

848
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 2: He walked five batters. It was Oakland he was he

849
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 2: was not looking great.

850
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 3: And we know what Aaron Judge is capable of doing.

851
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: He's probably gonna get the sixty again, and I think

852
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: he's gonna head at least one of them tonight. Let's

853
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 2: hope for another double dog from Aaron Judge.

854
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: All right, we'll give me Corey Seger Brian Bayo as

855
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: an over fifteen run home run to flyball ratio fifteen percent,

856
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: one of the highest percentage of a home run flyball ratio.

857
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: So give me Cory Seger to get on that board

858
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: and get me give me to thirty, give me close

859
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: to that board. All right, that's gonna do it. You
