1
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Welcome in friends too. Leading off right here on Fantasy Pros,

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: I am the Welsh. That is the Casey Bubba, and

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: hello to all of you, all of you peanuts and

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: cracker Jacks, playoff, run, prep time, madness around baseball divisionally

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: and more. We are ready to get into all of it.

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Bubba is a company man. Now, look at that hat, Bubba,

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: look at it. Look at that nice old Fantasy Pros hat.

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: Yep. You know I've got to support the cause. Once

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: they let me hang around here long enough, you know,

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: I might as well throw on some swag and be

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: a company man.

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: I like you, I'm ready to get into all the

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: stuff in the things. I had a late night, by

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: the way, and we'll kind of start with that. A

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: late night because I did a CBS hit which was

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: like one or one AM Eastern, and one of the

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: pieces about it was about what's going on in the

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: NL West, and it's like NL West madness right now,

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: so I want to make sure to cover a little

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: bit of that. Last night, Dodgers lose to the Orioles.

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty allows three earned runs over six innings, looked okay,

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: and Baltimore was able to take a win where they've

23
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: got Corbin Burns going up today. Brandon Fought allows eight

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: earned runs, gets obliterated six or was eight runs six

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: were earned, four and two thirds of an inning. Looks bad.

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: Started off the game, he did the sandwich thing where

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: he gave up like the homer and the first inning

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: or whatever to pee Alonzo and then he was like

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: three clean and then he just got obliterated into the

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: fourth inning. He looked like crap, while San Diego pulls

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: it out, which also pulled me out some bets here

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: they were. They had two different opportunities of losing. They

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: end up, you know, Jackson Merril does his business many

34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: Machado looks incredible and they pull this out. We have

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: apps either with pandemonium in the NL West where this

36
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: isn't the Dodgers Bubba up by you know, eight games

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: or anything like this. There's a two and a half

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: or three game differential between the Padres, Dodgers and the

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks right now, and all of these guys are just floating,

40
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and I'm curious, what do you think the difference is

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: going to be? What's going to be the deciding factor

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: in this division? Like is it you know, someone's got

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: to keep pace with the starting pitchers, bullpen offense, and

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 1: how do you think it's going to finish out?

45
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: Well, you got a Padres team whose offense is playing well.

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: They might get Tatis back middle of September. You have

47
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: their rotation, might get you Darbish back in a week

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: or two. And they made all those straits to sure

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: up their bullpen, which is what you want to do

50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: in the postseason. D Backs offense is one of the

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: best in baseball. Dodgers pitching staffs and shambles boohoo. So's

52
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: it's pretty fun watching this division, and I think all

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 2: three make the dance one way or another. But it's

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: getting really fun thing. And the Padres are back in

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: this The Diamondbacks we thought were lost for dead. You

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: obviously follow them closely, and now they're looking like that

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: World Series contender all of a sudden. Here it's a

58
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: fun one. And I think the biggest difference is San

59
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: Diego's got the edge and getting you Darvish back. They

60
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: just got Joe Muskrow back, and they have an elite

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: bullpen back into the bullpen. That might be huge for them.

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I also think it's the reinforcements because I

63
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: was looking at this so in all the study, here

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: are the crazy thing. So the Dodgers have the best

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: ra I believe, or was it you know it was

66
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: bullpen bullpen era in this division. Diamondbacks have the worst

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: in this division. Dodgers are also the best representation of

68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: actual starter era and runs scored per game. Diamondbacks are

69
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: one of the words. I don't know. I think it's

70
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: trending in a weird direction. And they have the reinforcements Dodgers.

71
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: You know, They've still got Yamamoto. Yamamoto looks like I

72
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: believe he's going to be throwing today or no, Well, he.

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: Still has to throw at least three more rehab starts.

74
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: They say they want two to three rehab starts. He

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: hasn't even his first one, so I think it's like

76
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: a mid September and I think they just one him

77
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: for the postseason. So I don't know how much of

78
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: a reinforcement he'll be well, but I.

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Think that's also like a reinforcement for the playoffs. And

80
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: then you've got Tatisa in theory coming back, Darvish finally

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: kind of getting I think he was just throwing the other.

82
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, so it's like you gotta have all this

83
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: while the Diamondbacks are kind of faltering. Brandon Fott, you know,

84
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: for all of my wrong doesn't look good, did not

85
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: look good. And then Jordan Montgomery ends up going you know, well, no,

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: he's been garbage. But then he comes in and.

87
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: Release that that was a horrible managerial decision though I

88
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: had a full time starter bringing him in the middle

89
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: of an inning. That is like just foolish stuff. Bring

90
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: a like bring a bottom end reliever into finishing and

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: then bring Joe Moo in to start the next inning.

92
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: Don't bring him in all that. That's a mess.

93
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: Why you guys are killing me in the chat? I

94
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: is this the first time I've worn a backwards hat

95
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: on the show this season? No, I wear it all

96
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: the time. Everyone's like, what's the Welsh meter? Matt's like,

97
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: Welsh looks like he's ready to talk.

98
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: Yes, best bros. Thing, Yes, you know.

99
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: What's so funny about that. The other thing I was

100
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: up late with was I was I was watching I

101
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: was watching a DFS, a football DFS stream last night,

102
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: or my buddy d bro and Justin Steele, who will

103
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: talk about here in a little bit. They were doing

104
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: a thing my buddy Justin Steele, and they all had

105
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: backwards hats, and I was just it was making me

106
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: laugh and I almost text him I was gonna say,

107
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Colin Cowhard would be very upset with this broadcast right

108
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: now with all these backward hats. So it's just you

109
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: guys are making me laugh with it. But I know

110
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily fantasy relevant, but I think the inconsistencies

111
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: of the division are really really interesting right now. And

112
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: I guess the only thing I would add to it

113
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: is like I kind of think the Diamondbacks might be

114
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of this may. Yeah, they're all

115
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: locked in right at this moment for you know, for

116
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: a playoff run, and the Diamondbacks have been the hottest

117
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: offensive team. But I don't know, man, I think the

118
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: I think the Padres are on the positive trend, the

119
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: Dodgers are not going to falter too much, and the

120
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks have the worst combination. I mean, they have one

121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: of the six worst era in baseball overall. For I

122
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: think it's just the overall staff, not just the starting pitchers.

123
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: And their bullpen stinks too, So I don't know, it

124
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: was just in my mind, But Brandon fought. He stinks,

125
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not really sure is even a trustable, viable

126
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: option maybe against me.

127
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: He's been pretty good this year.

128
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: He's been fine, He's got an over four ERA and everything.

129
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Right now, I just don't know. At this point, I

130
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: think he's wearing down a little bit. I'm not sure

131
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: I trust him in good matchups and like really really

132
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: good matchups. Nor do I trust any of the Diamondbacks.

133
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: So that's the other thing. They all stink Meryl Kelly Garbage.

134
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: He's at best a streamer right now. Gallon underperforms Edwardo's Okay,

135
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Nelson had to replace Jorian Montgomery because he's one

136
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: of the worst pitchers in baseball. So you know, what

137
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: do you say here? One of the best players in baseball.

138
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about here in just a second.

139
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: I want to remind two things. Well, one of them

140
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: is that if you guys have any questions, put them

141
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: in the chat. I wrote this in the chat. We're

142
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna answer a few of your guys's questions here after

143
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: the opening headline segment. Just a get you guys, Prepp,

144
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, for your playoffs, everything like that, And then

145
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: I completely forget what the oh I have like a

146
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: fun little announcement in here, in just a tiny bit,

147
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: which we've already kind of alluded to in some people. No,

148
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: Jared Duran he went two for four with a solo

149
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: homer on Tuesday. He'sit in two ninety four, three, fifty four, five,

150
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight, now has twenty homers, thirty two stolen bases.

151
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: And this was put out there, Bubba. He has joined

152
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: the twenty thirty club, which currently only includes Jose Ramirez,

153
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Lie de la Cruz and shohe O Tani. Is Jared

154
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: Durana first round pick next year?

155
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: Not yet. He went second round in our early draft,

156
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: like third or fourth pick in the second round, so

157
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: he's close close. It's like they went nineteenth or twentieth overall.

158
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: But I'm not there just yet. With Jared Duran, I

159
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: think there's still so many talented players in the front half.

160
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: But like he'd have to replace Julio Rodriguez or for

161
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: anftute East junior. Is that happening? I don't know, So

162
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I get it, twenty thirty is amazing,

163
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: twenty thirty, but would you rather you know you got

164
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: DuRane Churio, you got Duran, Corbyn, Carrol, you got Duran, Like,

165
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot of these questions to be had.

166
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: I was looking at I think it was your guys' board.

167
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: Someone shared it last night. It had to have been

168
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: you guys are like, you guys are the only Indo.

169
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: Meet me and bloom We did a recap show in

170
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: the last night, so.

171
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and yeah it must It might have been

172
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: Bloomfield's board that I saw that was on there and

173
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: Corbyn went like sixteen or fifteen.

174
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: He picks ahead of Duran.

175
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Like, I don't know if that's right.

176
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: Like you loved it. Corbyn hit a homer last night.

177
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: You love to see the power go on. He has

178
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: a legit shot to put up twenty this year, which

179
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: is insane. There's what do you have, like three through

180
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: June or some crap like that. So he's a legit

181
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: shot to go twenty. The stolen bases have completely gone

182
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: by the wayside. He can't hit for average. Jaron Duran

183
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: also has one hundred runs by the way, so it's

184
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: like Jaron Duran is putting up first round numbers. I

185
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: just don't know if he doesn't belong in the conversation.

186
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: You say, Julio Rodriguez, should he go over Julio maybe, Like.

187
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not opposed. I'm just saying, there's like a

188
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: glob kind of at the back of the first early

189
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: second where you could make arguments pros and cons for

190
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: almost all of them. And yeah, I understand, I understand

191
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: the Duran love. I just don't think it'll happen, is

192
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 2: what I'm thinking.

193
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll it'll get there, Lee asked Gunner or Durana Gunner.

194
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: Gunner was the fourth pick in this draft, and that

195
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: was pretty easy.

196
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Gunner's still the guy. But it's just kind

197
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: of an incredible run that he continues to keep going

198
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: on and the numbers are insane. Another great run for

199
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: a guy that'll be second or third round Jackson Serio

200
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: has not slowed down. Hit a two run homer, also

201
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: a stolen base when the Brewers loss here, and this

202
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: is another one of those guys that's like, you know,

203
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: it's funny, it beats I don't know if you're implying

204
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 1: this like shout out to the glob. There's actually a

205
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: glob I think of great hitters. Yes, this year between

206
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: probably the mid second round to the third run, I

207
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: should say next year, and there's going to be this

208
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: glob and it's going to be the like Carrol's and

209
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: the Duran and then to lower degrees, it's going to

210
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: be the Churios and the James Wood, maryl and Jackson Merrill's. Yeah,

211
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: all those guys are going to be in there. But

212
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: anything on Cheerio right now.

213
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: All I got to say is I was watching that game.

214
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: Churio took out the top left corner of the scoreboard

215
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: with that home run. It was like four hundred and

216
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: sixty four feet off the logan web. And then he

217
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: played great deep, like the kid is so good and

218
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: he's only twenty, Like it's unreal.

219
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: Some pitching stuff out there. Jeffrey Springs tossed five shutout

220
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: innings in a no decision. He ended up giving up

221
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: one hit, walk too, struck out nine. And I really

222
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: also put this on here to say, like, dude, he

223
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: looks like he is back into his vintage self. And

224
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: that's another one of those guys that I do think

225
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: he's going to as the offseason goes on, he will

226
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: start creeping up and up. But I don't know if

227
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: initial ranks are going to be appropriate on where he

228
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: really should be, because if you remember, Jeffrey Springs was

229
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: like what Top twenty twenty five sp like in the

230
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: in the hay, he's going to break out and then

231
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: he got hurt. Maybe he's around that vicinity. But I

232
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: love what we're seeing out of Jeffrey Springs right now,

233
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: and I just think, you know, it's back to vintage

234
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: and this is what you want. Also because he's not

235
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: he's not a big power thrower, you know what I mean. Like,

236
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: he's a guy that really works off of that change

237
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: up and then he's already got that back. It's a

238
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: huge sign for next year, and it's a great sign

239
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: for the rest of this year.

240
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, it's great for the rest of this year. Downside,

241
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: he's only gonna throw seventy nine to eighty pitches. It

242
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 2: looks like every start, so this year is going to

243
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: be limited, but great going in the next season. Look

244
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 2: like he's healthy and should be back in that top

245
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five discussion for sure.

246
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: I will give you one that I am immensely, immensely

247
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: impressed with, and I sat down. You know how this

248
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: goes sometimes we're just like we're all over the place

249
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: with games, and you know where your focus can be

250
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: on certain players. I don't know if I had sat

251
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: down and like give complete focus to Spencer Schwellenbach in

252
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: a game, like you know what I'm saying, like where

253
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: you actually sit down here, Like I'm gonna watch every

254
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: pitch and I'm gonna go seeing an innying go over.

255
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: You know, I don't actually clicking. Isn't that funny? That

256
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: was our change?

257
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: I saw you show your age. You just totally age

258
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: yourself there.

259
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't click anything anymore except my mouth. It would

260
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: just be like click click, click to change over.

261
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: Keep talking about clicks. Let's have some fun with this.

262
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: And but like I'll watch like an inning or something

263
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: like that. But I watched the whole thing, and Spencer

264
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: Schwellenbach has definitely taken another step up. And I know

265
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: everybody you know is paid attention really knows that.

266
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

267
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: He ended up striking out eight. I took his strikeout

268
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: total over yesterday. But that combination of the high nineties,

269
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: four seing fastball, the cutter that he can even slide

270
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: a bit, the splitter which has got double action, he'll

271
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: throw it high he'll throw it, like the changeup and

272
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: the curveball. I think I'm going to be wildly high

273
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: on Spincer swelling Bach next year in Dynasty. I want

274
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: to buy him right now, no matter what happens. If

275
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: it gets blown you know what, get blown up in

276
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: one start, give me a discount. I want to buy

277
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: him in Dynasty. I'm moving him way up in my

278
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: Dynasty ranks. And this is one of those dudes like

279
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: I think he could be a top twenty five sp

280
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: next season, like out the Gates, bubb. I might be

281
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: I might be going a little bit too nuts about it,

282
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: but I love the repertoire. I love the fastball, like

283
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: the confidence, massive strikeouts in there. I think I'm gonna

284
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: be one of the high high guys on Swallenbach. I

285
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: don't know where he went in that ten round, if

286
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: he went, but I legit think like this, this is

287
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a He's gonna be one of my huge

288
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: breakout guys for next season.

289
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is a tenth rounder, and it's a it's

290
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: a fun conversation because I'm with you. I think he's legit.

291
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be very very good. Could take

292
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: a step forward. He feels like a good SP two

293
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: SP three in fantasy right now. I don't think he's

294
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: the ace yet of course in that tier, but could

295
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: be very very good, and he'll be like the SP

296
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: three or four in Atlanta, which bodes phenomenally well in

297
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: that question. So I think he's legit. I'm with you,

298
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: and I was very bullish out the gate because minor

299
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: league numbers look like a lot of pitch to contact,

300
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: which scares me at the big league level. And he

301
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: has continued to improve, as you said, and the strikeouts

302
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: have been amazing. So I'm a big fan as well.

303
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah no, And like, I'm agreeing with you, but I wasn't,

304
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: like I'm fully admitting, like, I wasn't like, oh.

305
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: Love, I was out of him. I told people not

306
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: to pick him up. Oh came up. That's what I'm saying.

307
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: I was not on board because he was a minor

308
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: league wise with like a pitch to contact guy, and

309
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: I didn't want anything to do with that. He's he's

310
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: completely he's completely changed his how he pitches. Basically, it's

311
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: been amazing.

312
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah No, That's where I'm at. I mean, he's a

313
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: two way player too. The guy was a shortstop, but

314
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I think he's a bulldog out there. I think his

315
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: stuff is disgusting and nasty, and he's going to get

316
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: better into the offseason. He's just using to be one

317
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: of my favorite players. Also a fun note, I think

318
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people saw this, but the Schwellenbach versus

319
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: Simeon Woods Richardson was the longest last name pitcher versus

320
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: pitcher matchup in MLB history. And then I think they said,

321
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: like when you added in the first name, it was

322
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: like forty characters between the two or just some nonsense.

323
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: But Schwellenbach versus Richardson, your biggest name, is ridiculous. I

324
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: actually love those guys with those crazy names too. There's

325
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: a guy on the Rangers who's in the minor leagues.

326
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: I think it was like the longest name in history,

327
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: Like no joke. It was like it was like a horseshoe,

328
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: like it literally went up and it went all the

329
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: way down under the number. The name was so long.

330
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Und I love Schia. That's a really good one. ONEO Cruz.

331
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: I just want to point this out. He's batting third today,

332
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: I think, playing at this moment, but more importantly, he

333
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: is finally in the outfield. He had been dhing the

334
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: last couple of days. He is starting in center field.

335
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: That's the new transition for him. I also want to

336
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: point out I did this I think on it TL

337
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: but like ONEO Cruz, if you don't pay attention to him,

338
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: is really really good. And he's not beating the expectation

339
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: of the big homers because because here's the deal, everyone

340
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: was like, he's just not going to hit for average.

341
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: The dude, I think is hitting at a two seventy marker. Yes,

342
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: yesterday he hit a double. And what I was telling

343
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: Boggs was what I think is so trippy is if

344
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: you if I would have told you, I'll tell you

345
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: ask you this right now, I would have told you, hey,

346
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: he's going to hit two sixty five next season. If

347
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: I would have told you that in March, what would

348
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: you have said? That stat line is going to look

349
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: like If Oneal Cruz is hitting over to sixty.

350
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm thinking he's a thirty vertical. I think it's the

351
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: thirty thirty guy pretty much.

352
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I told Boggs, I was like, I probably hit

353
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: forty homers. So I think the disappointment has come from

354
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: he actually hasn't tapped into the pot. He's you know, barreling.

355
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: He's hitting hard, he's just not getting the ball I

356
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: guess enough in the air. But like he's hitting for

357
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: great average. He I think he just he stole a

358
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: third base yesterday. So he's going to be a twenty

359
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: twenty guy. Probably not going to be a twenty five

360
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: to twenty five, but with a good batting average. I

361
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I felt like people were very indifferent about

362
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: oneo Cruiz. I think he's way better than anyone's giving

363
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: him credit for.

364
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: So he's been great.

365
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm impressed.

366
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: The production's awesome. Part of it it's hurting him is

367
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: in the preseason everyone did the lazy Ellie Daily Cruiz

368
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: versus O'Neil Cruz discussion, and Ellie's just been off the chart.

369
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: O'Neil's been banged up a little bit, so it's kind

370
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: of overshadowed him. But yeah, so Neil's been very, very good.

371
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: The mood of the outfield could be fun too, So

372
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm excited about it.

373
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would talked about that, but I

374
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: also said, like I thought they were different. Ellie was

375
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: going to steal bases, O'Neill's going to hit homers. I'm

376
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: just I'm a little surprised that where the home run

377
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: rate has been, but he just hasn't been getting the

378
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: ball in the air at time. He absolutely crushes it.

379
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: But once he learns to get the ball in the

380
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: air with that batting average, it's going to go. And

381
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: I think that outfield eligibility all but helps. Next year,

382
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to put him the middle infield

383
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: and you're going to be able to put him in

384
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: the outfield.

385
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: That's huge. It gonna be the jazzy jazz of the world.

386
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun.

387
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he does get hurt a little bit. And

388
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: then finally in this and we'll answer some questions, my

389
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: boy Justin Steel allowed two and runs of five innings,

390
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: struck out six, was able to get the win. And

391
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm actually more posting this because this is going to

392
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: be super cool because they mentioned it last night on

393
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,920

397
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: a live mock draft live like, we're gonna be doing it,

398
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,880

Speaker 1: another cool perk Fantasypros dot Com slash chat. We're gonna

402
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: be hanging out with Justin Steele, so he's striking out

403
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: dudes and gonna be draft and rosters. He's a DFS guy.

404
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: They were doing mad DFS rosters by the way, Bubba.

405
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: He said he's got like a forty best ball share

406
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: on Trade McBride big tight end guy too.

407
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: Hey, and two for two with Trey McBride chairs in

408
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: my fantasy league. So I'm pretty fun that. Hey, I've

409
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: always loved Justin Steele. Now it's making sense.

410
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: Oh okay, nice, Yeah, there you go, so all right, yeah,

411
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: but Justin Steele Welsh Justin Steele x Welsh to Well,

412
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: we're recording it tomorrow, but it'll be on the YouTube channel,

413
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: So I think that'll be pretty fun. Probably won't talk

414
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: a lot of baseball, but maybe we'll do a little

415
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: bit all right, let's answer some questions. We'll burn through

416
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: pistol looking for saves. Jorge Lopez or Podge.

417
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: It's a coin toss. Looks like it's like, I like

418
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: Podge better, but they're both getting their fair share.

419
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess Podge is fine by me. Matt says,

420
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: Big Christmas or Jock for the rest.

421
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: Of the week. It's it's Christmas in August everybody. I

422
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: like Jock, but Joan Kinzie's been playing lefties of course

423
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: half the righty's and just been beasting out right.

424
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: Now, Dude, I mentioned this in i TL two. If

425
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: you look at big Christmases like overall or underlying numbers.

426
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he might be the dude, he might be like.

427
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: What Naylor was like two years ago. Because it's like

428
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: nineteen percent barrel rate over fifty percent hard hit rate.

429
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: He gets the ball in the air almost like a

430
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: twenty degree launch angle. He just needs to striking out.

431
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: And that's improving. He might that's improving too. He's getting better.

432
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he might be a huge breakout for next year.

433
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 2: Who did you say for this one?

434
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I go in the well. I think they're giving

435
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: him regular playing time. Jock is still you know, he's

436
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: pure platoon. He's a pretty good, pretty damn good platoon.

437
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: Oh it's awesome. Yeah, in a daily league, probably played Jock.

438
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 2: But I'll take John Kinsey for the week.

439
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't like to play him A big Christmas Christmas.

440
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: I think I've told this Big Christmas. He's one of

441
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: the I've It's one of the furthest balls I've ever

442
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: seen hit in the backfields. It is at the Rangers Stadium,

443
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: and the Rangers it goes like, here's the field, and

444
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: then they're like, right, here's the facility, Like right behind

445
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: the center field wall is their their workout area, and

446
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: then there's this big net and everything like that, and

447
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: then there's a parking lot to the left. He didn't

448
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: hit I'm sorry he didn't hit the homer, but he

449
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: hit it so far it went over where the netting was.

450
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: It went past the building and went into the parking

451
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: lot and bounced over to the royal side. And I

452
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: know I'm not I'm trying to like give you guys

453
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: the audio version of that. It was stupid. It was

454
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: one of the guy's That guy's power is like five

455
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: hundred home run five hundred feet home run type of power.

456
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: But I think you know that. Michael Impo says he's

457
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: Ulio droppable in a ten team.

458
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: I don't think that's out of the question of possibilities.

459
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: Because there's a ten team lead, the waiver wires should

460
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: be pretty plush with options to string link the week.

461
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 2: I can move on from Julio right now.

462
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I want to look at his numbers over this

463
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: last recent time. I think these questions should it's bad?

464
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: Is it really that bad?

465
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: I mean that team and it's the rest and replacement

466
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: level of talent.

467
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: I was looking at this team. It's crazy. They have

468
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: the number one I mean, I think you guys know this.

469
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: They have the number one ERA in baseball. They also

470
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: I think had like a top ten bullpen ERA, and

471
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: they I believe are like the actual worst as far

472
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: as runs scored per game. There are their bottom three

473
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: in run score. I mean, it is literally the polar opposites.

474
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: How you have the maybe the best rotation in all

475
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: of baseball and you can't put it together with Julio,

476
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: and you know you you go out and get Randy

477
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: or Rose Arena. He is hitting man one sixty seven

478
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: in August right now, he had a two sixty seven

479
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: pre All Star Break average. He's down to one fifty

480
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: six in the second half. I mean, this is the

481
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: type of year in redraft. You could do it if

482
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: there's like a cool alternative that was sitting out there. Yeah, sure,

483
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: one of the you know, one of those dudes that

484
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: we've been talking about that were like, hey, he shouldn't

485
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: be available, you know, like how like Tyler Fitzgerald has been. Dude,

486
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: I got one for you. Would you rather Julio or

487
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: Jake McCarthy.

488
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 2: I'll think Jake McCarthy right now, easy, I.

489
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: Think yeah, I think it's I think it is Jake.

490
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's see what else we got here. JJ

491
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: said that Texas Chicago is Are they replaying their game today?

492
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: You know I would love to know too, because I

493
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: had a little parlay bet yesterday for the Padres to win,

494
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: which they did, and for Texas and Chicago to have

495
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: a nurfe and it got suspended and it's still they

496
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: didn't like cash me out. They were just like holding it.

497
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: They're holding it hostage for I don't know what the hell.

498
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what is going on with that game.

499
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: It's restarting to see it on the schedule today.

500
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: It's restarting today and then so it's basically a double

501
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: header since they only through four pitches, but they're going

502
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: to play that game and then start the second one

503
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: right afterwards.

504
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I need to see it.

505
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 2: I needed it was it was a It wasn't a

506
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: I guess it was a suspended game, not a postponed game.

507
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: What's the difference.

508
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: Suspended means they're going to pick up where they left off. Postponed,

509
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: he'd start over there. Four bitch, Garrett Crochet, the White Sox.

510
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: White Sox to this so bad. They threw Crochet, who

511
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: doesn't even throw more than four ratings. He has two

512
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: starts to speak, through four pitches. We probably lost him

513
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: for the rest of the week. It's that's the White

514
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: Sox going full White Sox.

515
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's actually criminal because I bet

516
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: that because I wanted Crochet versus h what was it

517
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: Ivaldi Orhini or whatever it is. And now and now

518
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you know, Dane Dunning versus h Whoeverow.

519
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 2: You'll still get Heini, but she'll get whoever the White

520
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: Sox through out there, which doesn't matter.

521
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: That's really stupid. By the way, all right, let's even

522
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: get to a couple more here. Amaya or o'happy. Rest

523
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: of season, Amaya has been one of the hottest catchers

524
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: on the wire right now.

525
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Maya's on fire. I guess if it's a shallow league,

526
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: go a Maya. If it's deeper, I'd still stick with

527
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 2: o'happy just because I he's the overall better player. But

528
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: Omaya's been on fire. So if you want to play

529
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 2: the hot hand for the last four weeks the season,

530
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 2: go for it.

531
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: If you were desperate, I would. I would go o'happy

532
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: like in a vacuum. But I'm fine with Amya because

533
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: he's been like really hot. This is an interesting one.

534
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Beato in a little bit. Would

535
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: you stream Beato or Arraghetti today? I'm down with both.

536
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Aragedtty's scary. He's scary because he's going up

537
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: against Philly, But dude has had a second half three

538
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: and a half the RA so he's been a monster

539
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: and a strikeout guy. Beto's been decent. I'd probably stream both.

540
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: Just know what you're getting into. There's blow up potentials.

541
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: Beato's going up against the Red America. Yeah, yeah, I

542
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: mean that's a little bit scary. Edy the Philly is scared.

543
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess it depends on your situation.

544
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: I think they are both. Stream of bull pictures is

545
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: a better way to put.

546
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: It, deeper formats both in play beto better next week.

547
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: Two steps. I'll take Erraghedtty today though. Philadelphia is a

548
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: good offense. But overall, the last thirty days have taken

549
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: a big step back for Sreddy's.

550
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, And then Jack said, what's up boys,

551
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy or Jazz. Let's assume it's McCarthy redraft this year.

552
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 2: McCarthy. Really, I'm guessing it's the rest of seasons. What

553
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: I'm guessing Jazz I don't think is fully healthy. He

554
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: hasn't looked the same since he came back, So give

555
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: me McCarthy.

556
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Jazz on that one. But like, I

557
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: get it, I get it, all right? Was there any

558
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: others that we wanted to hit? Look at us? Oh?

559
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: Can we trust Burns against the Dodgers today?

560
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: I'd prefer other options If you haven't.

561
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: I mean, but like when you when you roster Corvin Burns, Like,

562
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: what else is it that you like? That's your guy,

563
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: that's your number one.

564
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: I don't like you're asking that question. You can't afford

565
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: it is the way other guy.

566
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're big man. You can't afford a big man.

567
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: I uh, I probably still put him out there for

568
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: being honest. If I am hugging ratios, though, I would yeah, yeah,

569
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: then I would also probably avoid all right, good questions,

570
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: get you guys prepped into this week for whatever the

571
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: hell you're doing trying to get into the playoffs or

572
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: that you are actually there. Let's go over to a

573
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: little three up and three down. Zeki Tovar three for four,

574
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: two homers for RBI yesterday. Dude, I don't have to

575
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: make of him next year because like he was one

576
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: of the worst plate presents in baseball, the way he

577
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: just whiffs through in the strikeouts. I just I don't know,

578
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know about it. But like then

579
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: he puts off these performances to homers for RBI. Where

580
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: did he go in the top ten rounds of your guys' thing?

581
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: Let me check. Let me give me one second here,

582
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: because that name does not stand out.

583
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: So I don't think I bet he didn't know, because

584
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: that would have been like the top one twenty.

585
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, no he did not. Oh Tivar did. Tivar did.

586
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: Tvar did because he went like round eight or nine. Okay,

587
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: so there's eight short stops taken in the first three rounds.

588
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: So then and then there was a four or five

589
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: more the rest of the draft.

590
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: That's interesting. That's very interesting. By the way, another one,

591
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: Matt Hers trustable versus the Cubs revenge narrative.

592
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely, dj Hurs has been awesome. The underlying metrics are phenomenal.

593
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: He's a guy I want everywhere next year. Yeah.

594
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: Strikeouts, baby, Victor Roblast two for four with two stolen bases.

595
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: He's been about the life of the Mariners offense as

596
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: of recent and Logan Gilbert speaking of six innings ten

597
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: strikeouts gets them in the position every single time. That

598
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: team is absolutely wild. They might have as well. It's

599
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: perceivable that they are gonna have five pitchers that are

600
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: going to go in the top ten rounds next season.

601
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: Because I saw on your guys' draft Brian Wu went there.

602
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: Brian Wu is gonna be a huge breakout candidate for

603
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: next season if he can stay healthy. You got Bryce Miller,

604
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert Kirby and Castillo. You're gonna have four. Do

605
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: you think there's ever been an entire rotation five pitchers

606
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: in the first ten rounds?

607
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: No way, No way, And it's gonna happen all draft season.

608
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: Barn and injury like they're that good.

609
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I'm gonna be in on them. Whooh.

610
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: On the down, Rotary Munez Garbage one and one third

611
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: of an inning, six earned runs. Crap, Jared Jones back

612
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: four earned he had five, say, four innings, five earned runs,

613
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: he walked three. Just doesn't look like that Jared Jones

614
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the year where he was just

615
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: pounding these power fastballs up and no one could get it.

616
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of hittable, yep, kind of hitable right now.

617
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: About it's not good. Things looked really good early on,

618
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: and yeah, I'm with you, it's not good. And I

619
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: don't even trust starting these days, so it's tough.

620
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: Look at Walkee too. By the way, Burns is undroppable

621
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: in your ESPN league. Come on, walk, we know what

622
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: the issue that is. ESPN League. What are we doing?

623
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: Also on the down, Taylor Walls zero for four with

624
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: four strikeouts. On the injury market. There are some Diamondback updates.

625
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: I guess I was talking about all the reinforcements that

626
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: the other teams in the NL West are going to get.

627
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks are going to get some reinforcements from the

628
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: IL here shortly, I suppose, Unfortunately, it won't be in

629
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: their rotation. Ktel Marte has resumed hitting, which is a

630
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: great sign. The Diamondbacks definitely need him back. Also, Christian

631
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: Walker took batting practice on Tuesday, So both of those

632
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: coming back. That will give a new jolt for the Diamonbacks. Plus,

633
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: I need the Diamondbacks to pick up ten wins to

634
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: the rest of the year to cash my over on

635
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: their hold.

636
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: I like those chances a lot.

637
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: Hitting pretty there, i'veel decent about it. But like I said,

638
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 1: I've got I got a couple of these bets right

639
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: now where my Ellie one is locked. My Ellie stolen

640
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: base lead the league. We're good, We're good on Ellie.

641
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: But I've got the Diamondback win total. I've got Jackson

642
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Merril Rookie of the Year, and then I got I

643
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: have on No Cruz over twenty four and a half homer,

644
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: So I need seven homers from now to the end

645
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: of the year, and I don't feel great about that one.

646
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Jackson Merrill like three out of four

647
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: on those, that's going to pay pretty nice. That's pretty good.

648
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, No, we're gonna have some We're going a

649
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: good cash day on some of the future betting. So

650
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: we'll do some more next season. But we need those

651
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: enforcements and fantasy reinforcements for Christian Walker and could tell

652
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: Marte coming back. Another interesting one that happened in your guys' draft.

653
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: I was actually shocked at how high he did go.

654
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: Jacob de Gram fired two perfect innings on Tuesday in

655
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: the minor league rehab assignment trip a round Rock. So

656
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: he is looking like, you know, they're positioning him to

657
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: get maybe two starts to end the season something like that.

658
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: I think that's what they're looking for. And I believe

659
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: he went in the third round. So if you have him,

660
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: I think I'm relatively comfortable just throwing him right back

661
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: out there. Whatever you know he's going to do for

662
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: this season. If you want that little boost for fantasy

663
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: next season, you're getting really almost no discount. Because this

664
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: version of de Grom, which shouldn't get anything crazy. Is

665
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: already going in the third round of your guys' draft

666
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: you did, which you know in like like more consumer

667
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: type drafts, then maybe that's like the fourth or fifth,

668
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: But that also shows you he's going to creep up.

669
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: So even if he's a fifth round guy, by the

670
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: end of the preseason or the spring training, he's probably

671
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: going to be back into the third round.

672
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: Oh easily, easily, he's going to be a There was

673
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: times he was going in the first and second round

674
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: in the past. So if he shows that he's back

675
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: to being de Gram, he's going early. There's no doubt

676
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: about that.

677
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: I just, I mean, I'm I've always been the biggest

678
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: dummy about de Grom. I'm like, oh, she's the best,

679
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: but that is the truth. It's actually it's similarly my

680
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: Mike Trout argument, where if you give me the player

681
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: that is injury prone and also the production goes away,

682
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: I'll I'll relent and I'll, you know, on my back

683
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: belly like, Okay, I'm wrong, but like that's why. That

684
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: was my argument with Pianowski on this show in the offseason,

685
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: was like his argument was he's gonna get hurt and

686
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: he's not good anymore. And I was like, well, he

687
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: might get hurt, but he is still good. And I

688
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: was technical. I mean, I was right about that, he

689
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,239
Speaker 1: was still good. But then he of course had an

690
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: even worse injury and Pianowski got the win. But that's

691
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: the same thing with de Gram and that was always

692
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: my argument. The problem is when he's out there, he's

693
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. It's

694
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 1: just are we now are we too far gone that

695
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: you just know, like it's maybe if at best it's

696
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: eighty innings, And that's where I need to come to

697
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: terms with, Like, he's the best pitcher in baseball when

698
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: he is out there, except you might get twelve innings

699
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: or you might get eighty. You're just not going to

700
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: get one hundred and forty.

701
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not getting the full deal, you kind of.

702
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: I treat it like the kerse Shaw situation. You're gonna

703
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 2: get eighty to one hundred innings? Are those good enough

704
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: for where you're picking him? It depends.

705
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: It's a tough one, but you can't go on the

706
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: third round if that's no, No, you can't.

707
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's why I'll never draft him. Personally because

708
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: it's just too rich for my blood. But some people

709
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: might believe it's like, you know, some people said the

710
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: same thing about Tyler Glass now this past year, and

711
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: he's got a career high enditings already. I know he's

712
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: hurt again, but he's already. Yeah, it has already been worth

713
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: all all that draft capital, so you never know. It's

714
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: just it's a tough game because de Grom is that

715
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: good that it might only take like one hundred and

716
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: twenty and he's to pay off a third round price.

717
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna have the best debates in the off season

718
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: and Joe with the d Grom stuff, that'll be fun.

719
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: Another guy that will be debating, Sandy Ocontra. Tommy John

720
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: surgery last October, says he would be able to return

721
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: to the Mound before the end of the year if

722
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: the Marlins would let him, which I could be honest

723
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: with you, I actually think they should. You should let

724
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: him get a start in if this is true, just

725
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: like one start on the back end. But I don't

726
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: think they're doing any of it. It's gonna be all

727
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: off season work and we'll get him back. But it

728
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: looks like we're lining up to like be okay back

729
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: with Sandy for next season, which is a huge plus.

730
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: There's another guy. I'd rather have Sandy of course over

731
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: de Grom. But I don't know if they went like

732
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: that in your draft No.

733
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 2: Nine or ten something like that. I don't know.

734
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: We lost Bubba's audio. Did you come back?

735
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I just like, oh, there you are,

736
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: there you go streaming art just muted me out of nowhere.

737
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: That was fun. Yeah, So no, didn't like your take.

738
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: Apparently No, Sandy went around nine or ten, so they went.

739
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that's stupid. I think that's dumb.

740
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. The other injuries, the injury stuff, at least

741
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: that's out there. Grayson Rodriguez progressed to playing catch from

742
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: ninety feet that was at Dodger Stadium, and Liam Hendricks

743
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: is on track to return to the Red Sox Bullpen

744
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: here in September.

745
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 2: So there you go.

746
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: There's some good positive news Forridos. Let's talk about some bets.

763
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: in Great American small Park over one and a half

764
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 2: at plus one thirty. It should be a lot of

765
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 2: offense in that game, so give me some JJ Bliday.

766
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: They had no Lawrence Butler options. I was very angry

767
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 2: on that note.

768
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: I was about to ask you, I know there's gonna

769
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: be a.

770
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: There was no Lawrence Butler options. I was not happy

771
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 2: on that one. Jackson Merril, it's even money over one

772
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: and a half a plus one hundred. The dude just

773
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: keeps getting it done. Polante on the mound. I don't

774
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 2: see that slowing down, and I'll go Jackson Cheerio. We'll

775
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: ride the hot hand there over one and a half

776
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 2: at plus one twenty. Kyle Harrison on the bump for

777
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: the Giants. He's been all or no, and this Brewers

778
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: offense is legit. Tario in at the top of the order,

779
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: so I'll take plus money on an over one and

780
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 2: a half there as well.

781
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: I like it. Well, I'm gonna betting against a little

782
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: bit in that first inning. Some bets I've got going today.

783
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm actually going as Valdo Bido on the strikeouts. I'm

784
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: going with the over strikeouts. It's four and a half

785
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: right at minus one ten going up against the Reds.

786
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: That is a strike out a bole team, if you will,

787
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: And as of recent I believe Bido has hit this

788
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: marker in six straight I think it's a sixth straight games,

789
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: so this is a pretty fair line. So we're gonna

790
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: go with Bedo over strikeouts. Otherwise, I'm going Nurfe's today

791
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: and I am going with San Francisco and Milwaukee on

792
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: the neurfy. Milwaukee has been I cash this yesterday with

793
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: a different lineup Toby Myers and Logan Web close to

794
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: not getting it with Logan Web yesterday. But Milwaukee's like

795
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: a middle in first run scoring team while San Francisco

796
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: is a lot closer to the bottom. You're right, this

797
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: is gonna like go right away for me immediately, or

798
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a really good opportunity.

799
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: So it's paying out decent like minus one twenty five

800
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: for a Nurfe at this point. So I like this

801
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: one because I do like the pitching matchup early on

802
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: the other one, we're gonna go Atlanta in Minnesota. Obviously,

803
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: this is a Chris Sale bet. Anytime I can find

804
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: Chrissale Nerfe's that are not minus one fifty, I pay

805
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: attention to them. And obviously the other pitcher is going

806
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: to be important here, and David Festa is one I

807
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: actually think I'm relatively comfortable with. Now these are two

808
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: bigger power house offenses, but I'm betting Sale is my

809
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: lock and then confess to hold down that top end

810
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: of the Braves order. I think they can. Actually, I

811
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: think that Braves lineup is a little bit beat up

812
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: right now. In Festa has been okay, So I'm going

813
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: to go with the Nurfe Atlanta Minnesota. So Beato over strikeouts,

814
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Milwaukee Nerfy Atlanta Minnesota Nurfy. And then

815
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: Bubba has got over Bladet Merrill and Cherio total Bases.

816
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: And I will also tell you I almost did the

817
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: Merrill total Bases one in here and shout out to

818
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: my boy Dennis Sidler who just did a signing with

819
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: Jackson Merril yesterday. Got some fun stories, got some cool stuff,

820
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have some more fun Jackson Merrill stuff

821
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: here behind us, and I'm gonna try to pick up

822
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: a thing or two for next year because I want

823
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: to do some more giveaways here and leading off, if

824

00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 1: world or Welsh. And we actually were doing that. Bagman

840
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 1: and I were talking who will be my best friend

841
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: next year? Because two years ago it was Carol. This

842
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: year it was justin Steele and Meryll. Maybe maybe Meryll

843
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: will be the new best friend for next season. So

844
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm open to best friends. So we're on the lookout

845
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: for my twenty twenty five baseball best friend.

846
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 2: But there you go.

847
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: Those are our best bets of the day, my friends,

848
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: home run call, let's finish this bad boy out. We're

849
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: giving people extra content today. What are you doing on

850
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: the home run board.

851
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,959
Speaker 2: We're picking on Walker Bueler because he's garbage these days.

852
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: We're going with Anthony Santander finding the cheap seats in

853
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: Chavez Ravine.

854
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: All right, well, I think I inspired you because I'm

855
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna go with Gunner Henderson on this one, so we're

856
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: sticking into that. Do not like the Walker Bueler, not

857
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: into the Walker Buler at all, into the gunner Henderson

858
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: for getting some homer So I like that. And the

859
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: home run board. By the way, I am still not there.

860
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: I think I am. I think I'm still at thirty three.

861
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: I can't believe no one has jumped up Wonkee's at

862
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: thirty Seve still at sixteenth place. Joey is got thirteenth

863
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: place on hold for thirty nine. But we have one

864
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: person that has got fifty one. That is South African G.

865
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, this is the update to board. This

866
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: looks the same as the other day, fifty one for

867
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: South African G. B Trot at forty eight and my

868
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: boy Larry at forty five. So it is I don't know,

869
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: South AFGA G has got a really good hold on this.

870
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: But it's still anybody's game except mine. It is not

871
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: my game. It's just me to try to get on

872
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: the board. There you go, friends, that is it, Bubba,
