You get the custom text in there. It's fantastic. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.600 So that's the new giveaway for the next I don't 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.359 know how many weeks, but we're gonna be doing that one. 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.359 Let's give away some information. Let's start with some big 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.560 strikeout performances. Welsh Tyler Glass now ten K's eight innings. 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.040 He looked great after a rocky start last time. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.480 Sonny great. About twelve strikeouts for him against the brew Crew, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.080 six and a third inning. That's an incredible number. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.200 Talking about it over and George Kirby, your boy against 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.200 the Rockies, the gift that always keeps on giving seven strikeouts. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.000 Which of these three big K performances to you was 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.320 the most impressive. 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.840 Well, actually, I thought Sonny Gray's was the most impressive. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.120 I did not have was not a birthday gift this 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.280 weekend of betting. I have like one day a week 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.320 where I just implode and I need to stop betting 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.280 on that week. But I was able to come back 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.440 a little bit by using Sunny Gray this weekend on 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.840 the strikeouts, and by god, I wish I had later 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.800 bet him because he looked phenomenal and he has continuously 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.440 looked phenomenal. He gave up a couple of runs where 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.040 his first of the year, which was kind of a bummer, 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.680 especially having the Cardinals money line and a thing there, 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.240 But he was the most impressive, but the most important 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.440 in my mind was clearly George Kirby. George Kirby kind 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.800 of getting back on his thing. I'm hoping, you know, 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.400 like this is the the Rockies are different. We have 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.160 one of these teams like every single year where it's like, well, 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.320 what you do against the Rockies isn't necessarily indicative of 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:43.960 what you're going to do against all the other teams. 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.560 The Rockies strikeout like crazy. They're not good offensively. That's 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.600 why I think a guy like Jordan Beck is going 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.120 to be coming up soon. So like, this was good, 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.640 this is a great performance. The strikeouts were there, But 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.360 I hope this confidence translates over into the next games. 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.240 But I think it's like It's been a pretty big 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:07.000 win in the by George Kirby by Luis Castillo sweepstakes. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:07.800 Recently, and we might turn this. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.720 I know we're probably gonna talk about it, but I 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.160 do believe it deserves a little bit of like extra 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:17.960 umph here in that Cole Reagan's got absolutely annihilated this weekend. 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.520 Unbelievable because I had bet on him. He was one 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.919 of the reasons I completely fell off, struck out the 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.200 side in the first inning and then just got obliterated, 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.440 similar to what happened with Bobby Miller early in the year. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.840 He would probably fit along the lines of the next 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.920 of the trajectory of players that we're going to try 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.080 to jump back in and buy back in on. So 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.400 all these great performances, Sonny Gray's probably the best, George 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.000 Kirby is the most positive. But the inverse was Cole 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.839 Reagan's And anyone that's worried I would go still by 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:47.680 on Reagans. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:49.599 Some bilows have already vanished. 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.000 Ender Bogart's second home run of the season on Sunday 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.599 conditions around, well. 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.080 It's still maybe it's still a little bit. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:57.920 He's in my trade video. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.320 I mean, you are you and me are right, lock 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:05.720 step man, Xander Bogarts, Nolan Jones has been pretty awful, 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.520 Like you could probably get him for cents on the 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:08.280 dollar right now. 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.400 Those are some guys. But again I think the Bogarts 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.600 wanted starting to get away. The Julia one's already gone. 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.920 We talked about that ago you missed it. Castillo another 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.359 good performance for him again in the Rockies, nine strikeouts, 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.960 but we'll take it. So the Castillo one's probably also 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.000 that door shut, right, Xander's still around Shoto with Minaga 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.200 another great star for him. He is now three and zero. 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.599 Our boys. Shota we said was a better return on 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.400 investment in drafts than Yamamoto is going to be. I 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:35.720 think we look pretty smart right now. 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:36.200 What do you think? 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.440 Well, you said that you look pretty smart. I did 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.120 not say that so far that Yeah, it's a very 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.880 royal we. I mean, I was all about Minaga, but 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.760 I did not think I Managa was going to be 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.320 better than Yamamoto, and he has. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.760 Performed at that level. There's a lot of like underlying stuff. 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.520 He's left on base percentage is like astronomically high, Like 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.480 you're not gonna keep having that, Like you're gonna have 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.240 some regression on I Minaga, but you know he's still 0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.599 been he's still been awesome. 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:00.400 That you know splitter. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.480 Nobody's doing anything with that splitter right now is fastball, 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.760 It's deceptive. That's why it's got really big stuff plus 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.039 And this was really why in a royal we sense, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.880 we could say that since the beginning of the year 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.080 a in draft season, you needed to draft him, but 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.680 now you need to get him. You needed to get 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.400 him to push up that value because like, that's one 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.040 of those guys, even when they're performing well, he hasn't 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.240 taken that next tier step. But now I think he 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.599 has now, Like that was like two weeks ago where 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.520 the next step of like, hey this guy is going 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.160 to be a top twenty five sp or something like that, 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.680 that step has kind of happened with him, and he's 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.880 been phenomenal. And maybe the regression that a lot of 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.000 people are thinking that's gonna happen with Ivanaga, he's going 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.920 to be slow paced and not this big explosive blow 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.960 up situation like col Reagan's like we're seeing with some 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:46.800 of these guys. 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:48.040 All right, before we get. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.520 To the closers, let's take a couple of questions from 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.160 the Peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Here's one from Michael. Someone 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.200 dropped Evan Carter in my league? Is he worth grabbing 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.200 and replacing Hoskins on my team? I wouldn't take him 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:58.279 over Hoskins. 0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.479 And it's going to be a ten team, Like, yeah, 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.560 Hostage sounds just been too good. 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.880 He's been too Hoskins. Yeah, I mean I would love there. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.080 I'd love to get Carter, but like I feel like 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:08.800 you gotta have somebody else that you would cut. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:10.160 Yeah, but I think. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.600 Carter also is kind of you know, the counting stats 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:13.840 stuff is still kind of low. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.920 Well, Greg Olan Jones was your guy that you were fading, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.760 and Evan Carter was my guy we're fading. It's so 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.560 far we were both right, Evan Carter or Langford rest 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:21.960 of season? 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:22.680 This one from. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.960 Stephen Stephen Stephen Steven come back here that I'm a 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.200 brain the cable guy. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:37.000 Cable guys list covered in my list, Stephen step Alright, yeah, 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.520 I'm still gonna go Langford. I'm gonna kind of hold 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.440 to that all season long. I don't want to switch 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.640 off of that. Even though the counting stats haven't been there, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.760 He's still being put in like really great situations. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.640 Carter's coming back along. I'll go Langford, all right. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.160 Very good, All right, let's get to some closing time here. 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.000 In my Waiver Wire pickup video, I put Mason Miller 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.920 in there because he was still in the sixties in 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.160 terms of roster percentage. He's only at seventy one percent 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.880 over this weekend, folks, What are we doing here? He 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.440 should be ninety something percent roster This blows my mind. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.280 But is that like ESPN ESPN? No, this was the 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.600 CBS numbers bro seven. 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.280 I just looked this morning because I was like, okay, 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:13.680 must have gone off this week and it's had to 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:15.320 be the end. No, it was not the end of 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.840 Days where everything all of a sudden was all picked up. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.680 Of Mason Miller's just up to seventy one percent, he 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:20.760 went up like six percent. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:22.280 I have no idea what's going. 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.280 On out there, but that's crazy. If Mason Miller is 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:28.640 still available, please please roster him. Kirby Yates another great 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.800 performance for him on Sunday. He got four final outs 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.360 there for him. Your thoughts on Kirby Yates and this 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:35.040 closer job. 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.719 He's been pretty freaking awesome and he has the experience 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.400 on this jose leclerk has been Dusty Robertson. I think 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.280 is kind of locked into that like seven to eight role. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.840 I don't think anything is going to change there. I 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.439 do think at some point this team is going to 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.000 consider going to trade for like a more impactful closer 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.760 to really lock down their bullpen. But if Kirby Yates 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.480 ends up being like a guy the guy, they could 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.520 actually kind of foresee themselves having like a good back 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.480 into the rotation if they put the clerk in less 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:05.400 leverage spots. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:07.200 I think it's great you run. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.120 Kirby Gates is a must pick up if he is 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.320 still out there, assuming he probably is because guys like 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.160 Mason Miller are. But I do think there's the possibility. 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.440 I think there's quite a few closers right now that 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.800 have that thin eye. Someone asked in the chat earlier 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.640 about Kevin Ginkle, do we think that Do I think 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.480 that Kevin Ginkle will keep the job when Paul Sewald 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:26.280 comes back. 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.400 If you would have asked me when the season. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.719 Started, I'd have said, yes, I did think Ginkle was 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.240 going to take that job with how he's performed. No, 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.600 I would not think he's going to keep that job. 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.360 So I think there are quite a few guys that 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.280 have like this thin ice. Even as good as they are, 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.679 they could still lose that position. Brewers probably going to 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.880 potentially look at something. Payomps and Naribe have been fine, 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:48.840 but this would be another one of those teams that, 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.800 as good as kirbyates is, this is all about pickup 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.520 and know that you know something could change, but I 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.360 don't think he's letting go of that anytime soon. 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.000 Andre's Munio's blown save in the tenth the first game 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.600 with the double header yesterday against the Rockies. 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:06.080 Any concern there, Uh, if Matt Brash were super super healthy, Yes, 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.240 I've thought Matt Brash was a guy that could take 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:08.679 over there. 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.880 You have died on the Matt Brash hill for sure. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:11.120 Yeah. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.560 Well, his sweet I mean sweeper is one of the 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.760 most disgusting pitches in baseball. But he hasn't been healthy, 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.760 hasn't been out there, so right now, no, I don't 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.880 think so. But if this is to continue in Brashes 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.040 to get healthy, I do think he can take some 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.839 saves away. So that's probably like a next month speculative 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:25.400 type of thing. 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.600 Suarez another save for him Tanner Scott nice rebound to 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.800 he had been a little shaky reaslely so good there 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:32.839 for especially for Tanner Scott. 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.000 Think people a starting a little worried. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:35.640 Well, you know, with aj Puck being a big old 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.200 pile of garbage. Uh, they just decided to put him 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.120 on the I L because he was hurt, even though 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.040 he's horrible, and that's a guy that could have taken 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:43.880 over that position. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.079 Closing birthday, You're salty today. 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:49.560 He's so bad. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.800 He's a great, big old He's. 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.920 Not a good starter. He's not a good starter. 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.320 You're right, he's not a closer, though he'd probably be 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.520 a great closer. Hector Neris picked up his first save 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.200 on Saturday night. Other question for you that Tampa Bay 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.840 Rays closer situation too, that seemed to be one that 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:09.640 is in a bit of a flux. What's your take 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:10.280 on that one. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.600 I still think like Fairbanks is gonna get locked back in. 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:13.960 I do. 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:15.480 I think it's probably a great time to go get 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.920 Fairbanks for almost nothing. But this team has always been 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.040 comfortable kind of like rotating out different pieces, you know, 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.680 Colin Pache and stuff like that. I think like come 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.360 next month, like Fairbanks will be okay. I think he'll 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.600 be kind of locked back in, So if he were dumped, 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.360 I would try to go pick him up. 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.720 What about in the cup situation too, I just mentioned Nears. 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.520 Do you think that als Delay could be on his 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:36.160 way out there? 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:37.440 Yeah? I don't think he's good. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.520 I think Nars is going to get the more recent 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:45.200 save opportunities. They've already been noncommittal to Alsila Alzlai like 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:46.959 over the last couple of days. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.679 So I know, I do not feel good. I never 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.200 felt good about him. That was one of those weird ones. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.680 I had a couple shares of ners that I'm now 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.800 going to benefit from. But I think this is one 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.000 of those situations that is more turnstyle for the short 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.680 period of time that ends up being the Cubs making 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.600 a move to bolster the back of their rotation if 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:04.840 they're going to take that division. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.080 All right, here's a question for Jake Watkins. Uh, why 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.840 are we called the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks. Oh, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.680 it's because there's a song called take Me Out to 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.840 the Ballgame, And originally it sort of as I called 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.280 the people the Peanut Gallery, and I said, that's not 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.319 really fun. So it's instead call them the Peanuts and 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.200 the cracker Jacks because they. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.439 Are part of the show. It's fun. You guys get 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:26.839 to chime in. So there you go. That happened. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.400 That was before me too, by the way. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.560 That was before you, right in the first incarnation with 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.240 you and Dan Harris. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:33.920 Look at this. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.960 Nolan Jones dropped in Star Platinum's main event, NFBC League. 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.600 I was a that. You want to know why I 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.120 traded for Nolan Jones over the weekend. I actually made 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:44.920 a trade. I traded a closer. It's a little bit 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.080 of a different format. I was, I'm kind of low 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.560 in outfield. I'm taking a chance. I had a good 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.360 jillion closers because I hit on all the like guys 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:53.920 that were sitting out there. This is our Bogman League 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.800 where we only do roto up until the All Star break, 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.719 then a champions crown, and then we redraft and moved 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.000 ahead the head. I mentioned this league before, and I 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:06.520 traded Kenley Janssen to try to potentially buy back on 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.480 Nolan Jones because I was so robust at closers and 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.520 so far doesn't look good. So far he's just been 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:12.760 I mean, it was only in a couple of days 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.160 for me. But yeah, he's been bad, he's been real bad. 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:19.160 Well, you know what's really good whenever your your family. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:19.880 Gives you shout outs. 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.800 Here and look at this, mom wish me a happy birthday. 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.079 I'm watching the show. 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.720 Look at this.

Parker eight case for 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:51.320 him and the six nothing went over the. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.600 Strows, yeah, well and the team seems to be pretty 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:54.160 confident about. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:54.880 Him it's one of those. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.760 GUYS i MEAN i woke up a little bit dismissive about, 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.800 him but he hasn't walked the. Guy zero percent walk, 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:03.960 right twenty eight PERCENT k percentage is. EXPECTED era is in. 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.240 Line he is giving up a lot of like back. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.280 Contact it's over twelve percent barrel, rate which is pretty freaking. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.040 High so it'd be interesting to see when the league 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.400 catches up to. Him But i'd like to see a 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.280 little bit more ground. Ball we'll see how it.
