I am Chris Welsh with an unstable internet connection. 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:21.560 That seems that is Casey. 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:25.000 Bubba looking beautiful as always, Beaty Interrick on Twitter? 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:26.120 Is it the Welsh here? 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:28.080 Hopefully everybody can actually hear me? 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:29.120 Think you stream yard Bubba? 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:29.720 What's up buddy? 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.400 Now much my friend? Just a beautiful Thursday, A couple 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.000 of games today, a smaller slate than usual, and a 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.720 little bittersweet. So we're wrapping things up here pretty soon. 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.360 It's the final one, the final Bubba podcast, Bubba and 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.200 Welsh is the final one today. It is a little 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.400 bitter sweet, a little bittersweet seeing all those early good 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:47.800 don't cry, are you okay? 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.159 You gotta cry? Allergies? Allergies are fun, man, I'm telling you. 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.720 Allergy is a lot of fun. Everyone thinks everyone thinks. 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.920 I take I enjoy the certain California laws a lot, 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.600 and I really don't. It's just it's its allergies. 0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:58.600 Nap allergies. 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.320 It's totally not ad that we're not going to be 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:02.920 doing all the pods every week. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.200 That's it, right, Yeah, all the one hundred percent there too. 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.200 I enjoy my Welsh time, there's no doubt about that. 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.360 And there's definitely the realization. I don't know why I 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.720 had the realization today of like seeing all the early 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.319 games and the early slate and being like, god, baseball 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.480 is almost over. It's like almost there, It's like almost done. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.360 So there was just like a litany of I started 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.240 to put props on and then realize those are the 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.959 ten am games for me, and baseball is coming to 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.639 a big, big close. But it went out with a bang, 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:37.640 at least last night as Aaron Judge hit number sixty 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:42.520 one and all the hubbub it went into the dugout, 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.520 all the hubbub about how much that money, how much 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.960 that ball was going to bring in financially. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.760 I'm five hundred thousand dollars was an estimate. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.360 And it hit the dugout. One of the bullpen coaches 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.880 I think got it. They gave it to the Merris family. 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.320 Which by the way, I think is really cool. 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.400 But a two million dollar bounty looks like it's out 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.440 there for if number sixty two gets hit. 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.560 Bubba. Yeah. I'm just confused on why the bounty is 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.880 so high when the real home run record isn't sixty one, 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.320 So I got's that's that's my confusion. 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.240 I think it's simply the oh. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.120 It's the East Coast Yankees bias, gotcha. 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.200 Yeah, well, I mean there's there's this purest thing, the 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:23.040 purest of life. 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.040 You can take the purest out the window too. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:26.880 Yeah, well, I mean I think you you obviously are 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.480 gonna agree with me. The purist is like, this is 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.240 the real home run record, and it's like, no, it's not. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.760 It's I mean, I think even Maris actually said, but 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:36.240 it's not the Homan record. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.600 Aaron Judge doesn't even believe it's the real Homer Like 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:39.880 Aaron Judge gets it. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.399 Yeah. There are a lot of sharing of videos today 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.360 of what was it Maris with Mark maguire and like 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.640 how happy and this is the real thing and up. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.760 But at the end of the day, I think there's that, 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.560 but I think it's more the Yankee thing, more than 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.560 the purest of Like, it's more that. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.600 This is the Yankees record. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.360 If he hits one more, it will be the most 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.280 prolific Yankees home run hitter in a single season ever. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:07.880 And that's I think what it's about. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.120 Okay, well, I get that that makes sense to me 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.720 because Judge is deserving of that. But two million dollars 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.440 for baseball? People, come on, there's a lot, a lot 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.320 of other things to do in this world. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.000 Well, there's a lot of people with the crazy, insane 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:20.760 disposable money. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.440 Unfortunately, that's really that's true. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.720 You know, the people that you and I aren't going 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.200 to be like, all right, so let's get a pool 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.520 together and let's invest in that. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.200 No, it's going to be someone who's just. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.440 Like, boom boom boom, two million dollars whatever, guys that 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.960 don't care, because it's true, gonna only go up in 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.480 value over time as a yank. 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.000 I mean, the only thing that can happen that. 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:43.640 Would be worse would be that ball being defeated by 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.720 iron Judge. Maybe again, like that's why you buy that 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.160 ball and you hope to sit on it and no 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.200 one gets it for a long period of time, but 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.520 big crushing ball. I don't know if this is true, 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.400 and it might be trolled on this, but I thought 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.840 I saw I saw someone tweet about this, and again 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.400 I very likely could have been trolled, so I'm acknowledging it. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:07.000 But someone said that Zach Hamill like bought out a section. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.280 Does anyone know if that was true, if he bought 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.120 out a whole section or was I just getting trolled? 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:12.960 If you were getting trolled, I was getting trolled too, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.960 because I saw the same tweets going around in left 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.400 center field. He bought like a whole section out well, 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.040 I think that's what Charlie Sheen did that. Charlie Sheen 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.920 did that a few years back, did the same thing, 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.080 but he like the whole left field section of a ballpark. Like, 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.159 so it's been done. I don't know where Zach. Where 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.160 Zach get the money for that? 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.000 Yeah? Well, I mean Zack's got a YouTube channel, He's 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:33.120 got a lot of people that are out there. I 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.480 mean that's a great question. I don't know where he 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.000 would have got the money for. But to his logic, 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.880 I mean, what would be the return for him to 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.279 get the a get the ball, but also be to 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.440 get it for his YouTube channel and stuff like that. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.279 To buy out a whole section is beyond me. What 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.080 would that cost? What would the what would the I 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:54.560 don't know what bleacher seats are those, I have absolutely 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.839 no idea. But that was the thing out there that 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:01.800 he that he he bought the whole section out that Campbell, 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.760 the famous home run getter and gets all out there 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:06.200 and whatever. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:07.839 But it was pretty cool. It's cool that we got it. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.680 We got both of the things too. I just want 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.760 to point out we got the pool holes seven hundred 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.720 and we've got the we got the sixty one at 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.359 least by Judge with Marris. So now the question is 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.920 going to be, does Judge break it in a matter 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.680 of whatever it is five or six games? 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.039 Do you think he's gonna get to sixty two? 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.280 Oh yeah, Ondred percent, I bet you does it tonight 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.000 or tomorrow? I think they played tonight tomorrow. I do. 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:33.680 I actually kind of do too. I think you're gonna 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.640 have less of that tenuous, weird picture thing that's going on, 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.880 you know, no walking or anything like that, just to 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:40.839 attack him and then he goes at it. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.040 But again, no fan got it. There was there is 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.240 a there was like a story. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.039 Going on about this, like a restaurant owner. The restaurant 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.240 owner guy who dropped it essentially dropped half a million dollars, 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.440 and they kept panning back to him, and then it 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:54.560 ended up going. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.960 To yeah, wonky Saint Judge gave it to mom. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, So it went to the Mary's family, 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.400 which was really awesome. So it's just a it was 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.479 a cool thing all around, nice way to kind of 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.839 end the season, and I don't know, there's a little 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.200 bit of happiness, Like Zach Campbell bought out a whole section. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.080 Yeah, Jim, Jim's makes a good point. And I was 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.920 thinking about it. If Hamill bought out that whole section 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.239 and what if the ball like lands like twelve rows 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:18.680 up and he's in the first row and someone else 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.840 runs it and picks it up. I would laugh so hard. 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:22.120 Oh god. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.599 And can you imagine too, I would have wanted like 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.159 a camera on it if someone ran into his section 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.039 when the ball got hit, because you know, people would 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:30.960 just hoard that section if that's what I went to. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:32.760 So we'll have to watch. 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.599 Thats what we'll look for. We'll be looking for the 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.960 record to be to be passed in the next couple 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.560 of days here. And if there's anyone that can do it, 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:41.360 Judge can do it. 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.760 And I'm not interested in the. 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.680 Whole prolific this is the record or blah blah blah. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.520 So oh Wonkey's I didn't realize this gave it to 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.400 his own mom. Yeah, his own momh I think I 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.120 missed that, so that's even cooler. 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.320 Yeah, well it works out for him because then it 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.680 comes back to Northern California or Central California and he 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.479 can go see it whenever he wants. Title he kept 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:01.000 the ball. 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.200 Oh you mean when he signs of the Giants, he 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:04.240 can see it whenever he wants. 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.000 Hey, don't put words in my mouth. Just speculating here, 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:08.919 just saying he's the. 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.400 Grossest thing too, is that like piece of pio was 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.600 just attached to Judge all year, like he just got him. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:18.360 It's ridiculous. 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.960 It's so ridiculous, piece of pas attached to the steroids. 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:21.480 It happens. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.160 Yeah, I mean if he likes to. Yeah, we can't 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.520 even I don't even know what to saying. I wanted 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.040 to like negative about it, but I couldn't do anything 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.560 about it. By the way, I just want to point 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.640 out to everybody. I have the text out to Joe 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.840 because Joe said confirm with me on Thursday, not received 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.240 a reply back. So you're gonna have to tune in 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.280 tomorrow to see if Joe does show up. If it is, uh, 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.440 it could be one of two bald guys. It could 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.680 be this bald guy or the bald guy that we 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:45.800 were hyping up here. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:46.840 Some other headlines. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.560 Tyler Glass now pitched three innings, giving up two hits. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.560 He did give up a homer while walking one, striking 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.000 out three in his performance. You know what was the 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.280 I mean, three innings is about what I expected, you know, 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.120 three four innings maximum. If he was efficient, I think 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.560 he could have gone a little bit further. But I 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.800 was looking. Did you happen to see the innings cap, 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.520 because I think I wanted to say it was right 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.080 around our pitches. I'm sorry, I wanted to say it 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.720 was right around fifty, but I just didn't pull the number. 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.920 Yea, I didn't watch any of it. I saw looked 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.000 at the stats in the highlights later as around fifty, 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.920 give or take, is what they wanted to do. Their 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.000 whole ideas. Their whole idea is to get into like 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.680 seventy or eighty by postseason and get maybe five innings 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.600 out of them. So it's a good, good start in 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:26.080 that direction. 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.400 Yeah, by the way, fifty exactly. It was fifty pitches, 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.439 thirty two strike strikes he threw. He had the three k's, 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.000 the Homer gave up a couple hits, so three innings 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.400 got him fifty. He just wasn't as efficient where he 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.320 maybe could have gone like a little bit more. But 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.680 good to get glassed now back. Also, Red Sox activated 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.679 Nate Eyavaldi for everybody here from the il over the 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.600 last couple days, You guys can take that for what 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.160 you will. On the injury front, Trevor Story not expected 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.280 to return this season due to a left heel injury, 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.080 and Fantasy teams don't know otherwise. Actually, you know what, 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.199 Fantasy has probably got better because they just made the 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.800 hard decision they could make before and they're actually getting 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:02.280 good production. 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:03.000 What a disaster? 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.480 I don't even know. I think maybe I would know. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:07.800 The answer is, I'm about to say it. But like 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:12.960 you want to talk about disasters of Fantasy relevance this year, 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.520 I want to say, Trevor Story is near at the top, 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.240 but Chris Bryant not hitting a homer in court like 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:23.199 Chris Bryant's year is a disaster. Like teams changing with expectations, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.400 Trevor Story and Chris Bryan are at the top of 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.200 biggest disasters. 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.720 Right one hundred percent, and Trevor Story at least had 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.000 a run where he was good, and you look at 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.480 his overall stat line, it's not horrendous, but not where 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.840 you drafted him is what you're looking at. He's great 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.720 bounce back Canada last year's at least he shows the potential. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.880 Where Brian it's just broken. It looks like, so I 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.839 was anti Briyan to begin with some kind of bias there, 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.040 But yeah, Brian was a tremendous Like it was just 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.240 Rockies being Rockies. Let's put that. Let's spend a lot 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.080 of money and a guy that can't do anything for us. 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.439 Yeah, well, and didn't Story have like that two weeks? 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.679 It was like two weeks I kept unconscious. 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.720 Yeah, yeah, unconscious is a great way to say it. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.360 He was completely unconscious. But now he'll be out for 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.800 the rest of the year. Ya Out remains out of 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.079 the lineup on Thursday again, another one of those players 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.040 where it's like doesn't matter, it didn't really matter. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:06.800 Tiger's a couple injury pieces. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.880 They placed Kerry Carpenter on the ten day IL with 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.959 left lumbar strain and Matt Manning on the sixty day 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.400 IL with right forearms train much worse there and Charlie 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.720 Blackman was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.000 knee is going to miss the remainder of the twenty 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:20.800 twenty two season. 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:22.160 One of the biggest mysteries I think. 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.640 Over the last couple of years is why did the 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.480 Rockies never make a concerted effort to just get him 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:27.000 off this team? 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.880 I mean, just build within with whatever minor leaguers you got. 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.360 You got the guys like Totalia coming up now, like, 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.800 just do something else. Why has Charlie Blackman still been 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.680 out there? This has to be it after this injury. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.160 Right, you would think so he saw as I think 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:41.880 a year or two left on his contract, but you'd 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:43.240 hope he kind of like just say you know that, 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.599 I'm done type thing. It doesn't make sense. You know, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.800 you're rid Veronato. You read a story when you have 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.240 a slew of outfillers in your minor league system, like 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.920 you said, and they went and paid Blackman. So it's weird. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.680 Great career, but it's definitely fizzled off quickly. 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.440 Also, like, you can't tell me that a contract makes 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.280 a guy unmovable, because it's just not true. If a 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.400 team wants to do it, no, I mean they did 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.679 it in the Diamondbacks did it with stupid Bronson and 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:09.840 Royal attach a prospect to it, like if you really 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.400 need to get off it, maybe it's not worth it. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.679 You know, black Man, he's a face. He's one of 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.600 the only faces to that team. So you know, he's 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.720 got a theme people with the beard and stuff. Maybe 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.960 he sells jerseys, but I don't know, I don't see 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.400 why let him block. But also maybe the Rockies just 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.560 haven't had enough talent that they feel is being held 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.680 back so wide. You know, it's a little different when 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.719 you don't have a player that's coming up, like a 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.760 team like you know, just jump to my head. Of course, 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.920 the Diamondbacks. It's like when you guys got like Corbyn 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.080 Carroll and stuff coming up, you can make moves to 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.280 move David Pralta. You can move David Pralta onto someone else. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.640 When you've got a guy like Corbyn Carroll that's gonna 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.559 come up. Rockies don't exactly have that, have had. They've 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.640 got him in the miners. It's just not close enough. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.200 Zach Veen, who'll be playing in the Arizona League starting 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:55.040 next week, probably their most prolific you know, prospect, but 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.679 Montgomery another one of those that's out there, but they 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.360 just are not quite on it. This is an interesting 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.640 note here from Wonke. I think Wonkye put this in. 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:04.640 I love this debate. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:09.440 Who would who will you draft next season first? Zach 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:10.800 Gallon or Spencer Strider. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.400 It's a great question. When I saw that on the outline, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.079 It's really tricky because Striider has that ceiling of I 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:17.840 think we talked about it on Tuesday, two fifty three 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.400 hundred strikeouts potentially, like it is crazy numbers. But Gallon's 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:25.640 just been a consistent underappreciated like dark horse, Like he'll 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.520 get a couple of soy young votes, maybe not first 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.600 place votes, so he's gonna get some. I still go 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.160 Strider for the ceiling that you're getting, but Gallon, like 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.240 if you like the draft safe and then take risks later, 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.360 Gallon's a really strong pick to tick. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.360 Striider is definitely my pick. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.760 I did it. I have this decision in the early mock, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.640 which which Bag and I will actually. 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.880 Be recording today and it should be out later today. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.120 People are looking for it. Where we're breaking down our 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.400 early twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three fantasy Baseball 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.680 Redraft Mock and I had this decision and Strider was 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.520 the first pitcher I took, and I know there's risks 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.360 in it, but the guy has made so much many 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.760 changes and has become so elite of. 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:03.680 A strikeout option. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.560 Yes, I worry about consistency and command into next year, 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.000 but I don't know. I mean, I think at worse 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:11.079 it could be similar to. 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.120 A c situation where ce, you know. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.280 I think even the previous year, we're like, oh, it's 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:16.920 got to fall apart, and it didn't. It didn't. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:17.679 It just got better. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.320 I am very much team Spencer Strider for the wins, 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.800 the context of the team, the run support. I'm a 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.319 little bit worried about the Diamondbacks and in this rebuildish 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:28.560 type of thing that they're in. 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.920 But it's very close. It's very very close. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.560 But this is pretty easy Spencer Strider to me, and 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.640 his mustache is pretty great too, Yes it is. 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.400 Let's not deny that. Let's see this day. 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:44.280 In baseball nineteen eighty six, Chicago Cubs rookie Greg Maddox 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.000 defeated the Philadelphia Phillies eight to three. The losing pitcher 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.280 was his brother, Mike, was also a rookie. It was 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.680 the first time brothers had ever faced each other as rookies. 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.120 Impressive. I like that. I like that. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.520 Marker, and I love that it was the Maddox brothers. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.720 Let's go through some stat heroes. Ed wardo Escobar three 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.280 for five with a homer and five RBI yesterday, Chas 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.920 McCormick had a homer, three for three for the Astros. 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.720 Brian de la Cruze. This is that season. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.840 Boy, look at this list. By the way of players, 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.760 this is one hundred times of the year of September. Yeah, totally, 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.240 Brian dea la Cruz homer, Jake Cave three for three, 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.680 Jock Peterson two for three, Matt Olsen had a homer. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.120 Alex Verdugo with a homer. Taylor Ward, when's the last 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.120 time we said his name? Two for four with a 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.200 home run, Alan Treo with a homer, and Aaron Judge 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.720 of course going one for four with a home run. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.280 Totally that type of season. Why it is nice that 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.520 we don't have the forty man anymore because this would 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.640 be dramatically worse for anybody playing to the end. But 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.040 got to make the tough moves in redraft to pick 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.040 up guys like Brian De la Cruz and Jake Cave 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:45.440 to win your championship, Bubba. 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.320 Yeah, it's what makes this kind of a fun yet stressful, 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.600 annoying time of the year that all of a sudden, 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.880 these guys that really have not been relevant at all 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.560 and could not be relevant next week, but that doesn't 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:56.880 matter because season's over. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:01.960 Exactly on the pitching side, Bryce Wilson never would I 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.280 guess eight innings, three hits, no earn, run, six strikeouts. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.320 Brandon Woodruff was great, six innings, ten strikeouts, Rich Hill 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.440 six with nine strikeouts. Chris McKenzie really finishing off the 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.360 year so strong, and it's funny. Was working on my 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.760 redraft ranks just looking at his numbers and how far 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.560 I need to bring him up for next season was 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.200 a fun exercise. Six innings, six strikeouts, three hits, one 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.760 and run. Justin Verlander also eight strikeouts over seven innings. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.480 Some stats Zeros, Pete Alonzo, Joey Gallo, Ryan mount Castle 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.280 all four for four k's, John Bertie oh for five 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.480 with four CAGs. Remember when Bertie was going to be 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.080 the Fantasy savior at the midyear and everyone was like, 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.240 this is why you don't have to draft your saves. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.400 This is why you'd are your steals. You don't overpay 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:46.760 for your steals because of Bertie. 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.800 And then yeah, and then this happens. He gets hurt 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:50.800 and he's just not the same. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.240 No, no, no point zero. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.640 On the pitching side, Johnny Quato got lit up six 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:58.840 earned runs and five and two thirds. He did a 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.680 seven strikeouts, So Mitch wh White three earned runs, didn't 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.440 get to the fourth. He had a k not that 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.960 I expect anybody was streaming him. Dan Creamer three earned 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.400 runs in five in Jacob Rizzy three and two thirds, 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.000 one earned run, three walks. But we know why he's 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.200 on this list because Wonkey saw Jacob. Wonkey's always gonna 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.960 put Jacob to Rizzy numbers on the list, So everybody 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.640 knows what's going on. The home run contest, yeah, no, 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.119 it's always bad. The home run contest we had yesterday 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.680 was the Wonky Bonus, and the Wonky Bonus did not 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.640 hit for anybody. And what that was was somebody under 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.440 a hundred career homers getting a home run. I think 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.480 I took Austin Rightley. I actually was thinking about Matt 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.960 Olsen too, and I went off of it and Wonkey 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:48.360 had Cleaver Torres. Nobody hit it whatsoever. Joe did get 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.320 a bomb, of course, and got to move up the 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.480 list because of Aaron Judge, but nobody else because everybody 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:58.240 at the top of the leaderboard, everybody, everybody went for 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.280 the bonus and it was not hit. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.440
