We'll give you your best bets forever 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.040 coming up a little later on in the show, but 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.840 we start Frank with the big news that Dallas Kaiko, 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.240 Greig Kimberll they're gonna sign, and it feels like Kaiko's 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.920 probably the favorite to sign with the New York Yankees. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.839 But before any of that, I just sleep, Man, How 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.040 did I sleep? I slept pretty well. I'm doing al right, Greggy. 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.680 I'm excited, man, we got it. There's a lot going 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.160 on in baseball. It was a little bit of a 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.560 light night last night, but we got a lot to 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.200 talk about tonight, full slate of action, everything going on 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.600 with Kaiko and Kimberall. But overall, I slept well. How 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.799 did you sleep, buddy? I slept actually amazingly, to be honestly, 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.760 Like we wound up watching a little bit of the Bachelor, 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:37.320 Bachelorette Bachelorette, and after that, all right, we watched the Bachelorette, 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.000 and then maybe I guess I was so tired after 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:41.880 watching the Bachelorette. It takes a lot out of you. 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.600 I had a slumber. I had had it with slumber, 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.000 and then I woke up to the news from Mark 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:50.079 fine Sand of MLB dot Com saying that Dallas kaikol 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.280 it seems like, as of now the favorite seemed to 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.400 be the Braves and the Yankees. He updated that sweet 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.440 minutes later by saying everything that he knows, the Yankees 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.720 are the favorites to sign Yikal. The big question I 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:06.160 have isn't about fastball velocity, isn't about k rate, It's 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:07.799 not about type of picture he will be in the 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.600 Yankee stadium. Frank, my big question for you is what 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.600 will he be like pitching with that his beard. That's 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.080 a pretty fair question, right because we have no data 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.760 when it comes to Dallas Kaiko pitching without a beard. 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.440 All we have is his career right now, and that's 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.680 a three point six six e R eight, a pretty 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.720 good career at that great we're talking about someone who 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.040 has won a cy young now, skills have diminished a 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.320 little bit over the past couple of seasons. I have 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.680 question marks about Yankee stadium, but without a beard, I 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.440 can't even imagine it change things. Brian Wilson a couple 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.200 of years ago, without a beard, it could change. That 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.440 could obviously change things, and it's something that we have 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.119 to consider. It reminds me of remember CC a couple 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.040 of years ago went on a diet. No no, no, 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.440 no, no no, we need CC the way that we like. 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.240 He's gotta eat his Captain Crone, gotta eat his fast food. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.800 When you when you slip down, things don't always go on. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:01.680 Does Kiko need the Beard five man? All right? But 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.440 in all series is forget all that. How does Kigo 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.520 fit in with the New York GA He's twenty nineteen. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.600 Does he help them when this division get to the playoffs, postseason, 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.320 Wild World Series, all that stuff. Well, he would help 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.640 tremendously for the Yankees, I think more than he would 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.599 for fantasy baseball owners because he's someone that can eat Endings. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.039 I mean, this is this is a picture who you 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.919 know has dealt with injuries. But three of the past 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.440 five years, over two d Endings pitched and you know 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.560 he already hasn't pitched so far this season. So I 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.039 think that gives you a little bit more length, some 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.279 longevity for this season, not only for the regular season, 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.800 for the postseason as well. If the Yankees were to 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.719 sign him, And you also have to bring into question 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.000 when it comes to the Yankees pitching staff to bring 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.000 O Verman, He's probably going to land in the bullpen 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.800 at some point. Do we necessarily agree with that decision? Uh, 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.800 he's pitched so well. I would love to see him 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.440 stay in the rotation. But the way that everything, the 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.760 way that things go in baseball nowadays, is he's probably 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.320 going to be on an ending's limit. They'll move into 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.640 the bullpen so they get a picture in Dallas Kaigo, 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.760 who can eat some endings. Again, Greg, the skills are diminishing, 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.080 but he has big game experience, and I think overall 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:03.880 he would help the Yankees a lot. You would obviously 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.240 help the yank is a ton and the almost cloud 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.000 hanging over this team is Louise severe now and when 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.920 he comes back, and it's presumed after the All Star break, 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.960 but but who knows he just started throwing. The Yankees have, 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.279 as everybody knows, has been throttled with injuries this year, 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.680 and Dallas Kiko's a name that should help, but again 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.960 it's just a name. We've seen so many of these 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.880 guys come back in June and not be themselves, not 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.400 being able to get it going. And when the Yankees invest, 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.040 however much money they're going to invest in a Dallas Kuiko, 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.200 they didn't even help now. And yeah, he's starting a 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.520 hundred pitches and in simulated games and whatnot. But it's 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.760 not the same thing. He's gonna have to go build 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.880 up that arm. He's gonna have to face real minor 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.400 league talent before getting up to the majors. You're looking 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.880 at not signing tomorrow for instance, and then immediately jumping 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.200 into the starting rotation. You're looking at at least ever, 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.960 say three minor league starts. Yeah, I think that's fair 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.960 to say probably two to three weeks until we would 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.600 see you know, ko in a major leag So by 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.800 then that's Severino could be back. Oh not Yeah. When 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.240 it comes to Severno, I as a Yankee fan personally, 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.720 as a baseball fan, I wouldn't expect anything from him 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.640 this year. And and that's just me. That's not me 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.520 being a pessimist. I think that's me being a realist. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.880 I Mean, he's dealt with some pretty severe injuries this season, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.679 and you have to think about the long term future 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.159 when it comes to Severino, so you can easily suffer 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.960 another setback and then at that point you probably just 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.000 shut him down for the season. So when it comes 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.520 to Severino, I wouldn't really expect anything. Uh, and then 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.880 anything you actually get from him would be a positive 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.560 but you know, the uh signing Dallas Kiko I think 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:33.840 makes a lot of sense for the Yankees because you 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.680 wouldn't have to give up any trade assets. And you know, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.960 if it turns out that Severino can't make it back 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.080 this year, they still might have to make another trade 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.880 for a bumb Gardener or a Marcus Stroman something like that. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.120 So we'll see ultimately what happens. It seems like it's 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:48.840 down to a two team race between the Yankees and 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.160 the Braves. Another name the throw out there with the Yankees, 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.200 massive bumb Gardener. We're talking about him in a little 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.080 bit because he may have that New York audition coming tonight. Now, 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.640 as much as people have talked about Dallas Kiko, it's 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.400 always related to Craig Kimbro. Now that the draft he's 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.080 underway for Major League Baseball, bull Kimball kaikl eligible to 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.799 sign without giving without a team losing draft pick. Conversation 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.040 cost him nothing but money. And we mentioned Shirman, we 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.160 mentioned bum Garner, and there's always relievers out there on 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.840 the market, but you don't want the penny prospects to 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.960 go get these guys. You just have to pay a 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.040 little bit of money. We mentioned Kaiko potentially to the Yankees. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:22.840 The Braves are another favorite that we heard, and that 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.600 brings us to Craig Kimberle, who everyone needs bullpen help. Obviously. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.080 The Braves are a team that certainly comes to mind 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.520 is they've lost their closer for the season that traded 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.480 them away. Their second closers now on the Miners. Right, 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.800 So Luke Jackson's gotten the job done, But I don't 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.400 know how much trust they have on Luke Jackson getting 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.040 them to the postseason and relying on him. The Minnesota 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.720 Twins and one of the best records in baseball, as 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.720 dudes have Bay raised, they both have bullpen issues. Say 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.640 you can be saved for the Cubs, whose closer hasn't 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.080 played pitched the game this season. The Milwaukee Brewers always 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.640 rely on their bullpen. It's like seventy five teams they 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.640 just named that could use a guy that Craig Kimberle, 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.160 and yet he remains unsigned. Yeah, but it seems like 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.520 right now, you know, we've heard a bunch of different teams. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.480 As you just mentioned Greg, I think you know the 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.840 fact that he's played for the Atlanta Braves in the past. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.280 He came up with the Atlanta Braves, and you know 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.120 you mentioned Luke Jackson. He's done a fine job, but uh, 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.880 you know a lot of different bullpens can use a 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.840 player like Craig Campbell. You look at what he's done 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.760 in his career, Greg Over fourteen case per nine at 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.600 one point nine one e r A. There's the guy 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.560 who has saved three hundred and thirty three games in 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.800 his career. I think it's unfortunate that we've had to 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.480 wait till the MMB Draft to you know, get guys 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.320 like Kimber and Kaikol to sign here. But it seems 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.280 like before long they will be on a roster. And 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.120 you know, my bet would be the Braves, I think 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.520 right now would be the front runner. He's been there before. 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.080 They obviously can use him. We've seen a ton of 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.640 blown saved from them so far this season. A roadie's 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.360 this guy, you know, Luke Jackson, even with as good 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:50.920 as he's been, he's blown a few staves and then 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.839 a j mentor was a disaster for this team, the Twins. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.199 If they're legitimate about contending this year, then I think 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.800 you look at them in the Cubs. You want to 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.520 talk about another disaster. I mean, Brandon Morrow we expected 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.600 coming into the year, but he's been hurt. Pedro Strope 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.080 got hurt as well. Steve Scheck has been up and down. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.199 So if you're just looking at team need, it's probably 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.600 the Braves and the Cubs the most. But ultimately I 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.680 I would imagine that he lands with the Braves. Yeah, 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.040 and I think the Braves are just desperate for him. 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.000 And I thought that reunions should have happened a while ago. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.480 But we do know, given the penalties the Braves have 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.160 suffered under the previous regime out there in Atlanta, they 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.360 need all the draft picks. They couldn't really afford to 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:30.960 give up a draft pick. They need to build through 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.720 the draft and restock that minor league system when it 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:38.240 only costs money. You know, it's silly for the Braves 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:39.920 not to go out inside. I got a crik Kimberl 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.240 and I think the Cubs are another prime example. They're 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.880 probably the co favorites, if you will, because you know, 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.280 the Ricketts family has plenty of money. Um, and given 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.000 that Ben Zobrist maybe miss the entire season, given that 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.400 he's going through this divorce, they can say money there. 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.360 He's not on the active rosters, on the on the 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.080 ill or anything like that. He's on like a an 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.520 administrative lea like guess of some sort. And they can 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.000 save money there and reinvest that, you know, a guy 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.720 like Craig Kimberle, which could open things up, and they 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.559 could certainly use a stopper in the back of the bullpen. 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:13.320 Steve shucks fine, but he's not. It's that's exactly right. 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.760 And the Braves and Cubs are two teams that are 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.000 looking to compete. The Braves only one game out of 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.320 the NL East right now, the Cubs a game and 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.640 a half out, and they both have ten blown saves 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.640 eats this year, Greg, so yeah, they can use them. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.400 Steve c Shrek is fine. He has closing experience, a 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.400 little bit more experience than a guy like Luke Jackson. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.880 So not a little bit of a lot of a 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.840 lot of bit. But you know, I think that's why 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.840 I think that the meat is probably more so with 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.480 the Braves. But the Cubs, I mean, since they've won 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.000 the World Series, they've been expected to compete year in 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.559 and year out with that roster as good as the offenses, 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.520 and you know, the pitching has been solid it's been adequate, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.480 but to to be able to add a picture like 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.400 that's your bullpen, I think it would be foolish for 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.120 the Cubs not to at least, you know, go pretty 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.840 hard after one team we haven't named. That's that's not 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:03.240 interested in either Kaike Kimber. Some New York Mets don't 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.720 really seem to be interested in in any current free agents, 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:10.439 but that's okay. They don't. They don't love free agents, 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.440 but they do love winning, and we'll see if they 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.080 get a win tonight when we come back, we play 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.760 down Mets and Giants Yankees in Blue Jay's New York Baseball. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.199 Who do we like tonight?

I agree, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.719 this is he. I can't find another person in the 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.880 world they ready to do a show with Greg Nobody 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.600 probably somebody. I'm sorry, Bud nice Man appreciate it all right. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.360 So tonight Yankees Man's both return to a shin and 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.640 we mentioned the Mets going into the break. Let's start 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.200 there because it's an interesting one at city Field tonight 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.600 Mets and Giants. Mets are favored tonight in this one. 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.240 The Giants plus one four team Mets at minus one. Thirty. 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.120 Game total here is seven. And you may be like, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.040 a love of the game total very low, But who's 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.480 all noun? Especially the Giants you like? Don't really you know, 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.480 I don't really wouldn't marry much. But what's going on here? Well, 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:31.120 it's Madison bumb Gardner versus Noah Synder God. But It's 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.200 not like four years ago where it's Noah Syndergard versus 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.040 Madison bum Garner, because then I would understand this game 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:43.400 total being at seven. But it's two thousand nineteen Bummy 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.520 versus Syndergarden. I measined before it could wind up being 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.760 an audition in New York for bumb Garner, who, by 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.960 the way, smartly on his like seven team or so 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.800 no trade cause basically put every contender once you're not 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:58.600 on the list, the Mets, but the Yankees, the Astres, 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.239 the Yankees, the Astros, the Red Sox, the Brewers, the Cardinals. 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:06.800 Basically anybody's a contender is on Bummies no trade list. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.440 Smart man wants to get a little something from waving 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.960 that no trade clause. But as I said, it's not 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.920 the same magic bone Gardner from a few years ago, 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.000 so you could be said for no Syndergard. In fact, 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.160 both Noah Syndergarden Madison bone Garner have e R rays 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.840 over for tonight or going over for it going into 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.440 these game tonight, I should said, Frank, how do you 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.480 look at this one? Yeah? I think that line total 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:33.320 you mentioned it at seven is more representative of the 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.720 pictures who they used to be, or rather the pictures 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.360 that they should be this season, or more more accurately, 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.000 the pictures that they are perceived to be exactly. And 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.480 I mean, look, the underlying numbers say that Noah Syndergard 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.480 has been a little bit unlucky this year, but some 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.400 of that has been brought upon himself. If you watched 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.840 Syndergard pitch, he's one of the most frustrating pictures to 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.640 watch because we know how much talent he has the 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.560 midton high upper nineties in his fastball, and he's got 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.200 these nasty breaking pitches. Well, but you know what I've 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.600 always said about Synderguard, seems like he's more of a 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.320 thrower than a picture and he has trouble locating his 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.480 fastball at times, and that's why he gets in trouble. 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.480 You know, I thought Mickey Callaway coming over to the 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:15.000 Mets was actually gonna help someone like Noah Syndergard developed 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.400 into a picture. We know, you know Mickey Callaway from 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.760 the Indians his days there. What he was able to 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.640 do developing guys, like helping develop guys like Corey Kluber, 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.280 not that you know he himself developed them, but he 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:29.240 helped developed guys like Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco and 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.000 Mike Cleminger as well. So I was hoping that would 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.840 be the case for Synderguard, but really it just hasn't happened. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.000 So I think this number of greg is really really 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.840 low tonight. And then you look at bum Garner with 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.040 both the r A s are over four right now. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.880 They've pitched better than that, but it doesn't take away 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.320 from the fact that these guys have have been in 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.240 some trouble so far this year. So I think that 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.520 line is we bit misleading at seven gread yeah, I 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:58.000 totally agree, Like I understand Lean of wanting to go 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.400 under that seven number thinking you're getting this monstrous pictures duel. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.280 I don't see it. Rons could expects to be back 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.440 in the lineup tonight, right for the New York Mets 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.600 helps right, I think? So? Maybe I hope Todd A. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.120 Fraser has gotten a little bit hotter as of late, 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.920 Fantasy owners have picked him up if you needed somebody 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.720 for the Medicine Giants lineups look as bad as they've 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:19.960 both been so far over the past week or so, 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.000 they haven't been terrible. Pete Alonzo has nineteen whole routs 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.600 on the season. And you know that's probably actually like 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.639 under disgust in all of baseball. As much as we 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.920 want to make fun of the Mets. Pete Alonso has 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.160 just been otherworldly so far this season. And how about 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:38.040 on the other side, Greg the Giants, Mike Stremsky, what's 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.520 going on? I tried to tell her, grandson. I tried 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.760 to tell you, Yes, he's performing well. Well. The Giants 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.760 have cycled through seventy eight outfielders as they were Leiavers, 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.479 but seventy eight outfielders to find the match. They're two 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.320 of their opening day outfielders all right now, like free 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.000 agent in the minor leagues. Like that's how brutal it was. 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.080 They traded for Kevin Pollard, They tried a whole bunch 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.520 of other guys out there, mikeael Strepsky being the latest one, 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.720 and he's performed at a solid level, and tonight against 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.679 synder Guard, maybe he can get into one. You're not 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.640 asking for too much. You're literally asking in this game 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.040 for like a five three game. That doesn't seem like 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.800 too much to ask for. Clearly, Frank and Eileen towards 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.240 over uh in this game, it's the one that's it's 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.680 the one bet here that stands out. We're both on 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:21.800 the same page. Yeah, And if you look at the 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.240 bullpens as well, you know, once we get past a 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.200 guy like Syndergard and look, Syndergard is no lock. We saw, 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.439 you know, a couple of starts to go against the Tigers, 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.920 the very lowly Tigers, Synderguard get blown up. So he's 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.000 not a lock to perform here. And then once you 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.280 get into the bullpen of the Metzi's let's go home, Mets. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.600 That's a five point zero zero e r A for 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.320 the Mets bullpens so far this year. Edwin Diaz, there's 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.440 been a lot going on so far with him recently 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:51.119 in the news. He's been used a lot recently, he 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.399 blew a few saves, and you know him and Mickey 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:57.119 Callaway with differing reports about when he's available to be 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.800 used and familiar hasn't been himself or maybe this is 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:02.680 just who he is now and and this is who 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.920 he is and he has been himself. But overall of 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.280 the Mets bullpen has not been locked down by any 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.520 means either. Greg with a five point zero zero either. Ray. 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.040 So once we get into that, we could see some 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.680 runs scored there as well. Yeah, absolutely, let's go over 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:15.680 to the Yankees. Lets you out we're being a pick 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.520 in this game, Frank between, No, I like the total 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.720 more than I do like. Okay, let's go to the 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:24.000 Yankees to night. Yankees are in Toronto. They're a very 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.560 every heavy favorite over the Blue Jays might one nineties 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.879 six right now according to the FanDuel sports book Toronto 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.439 plus one sixty eight. Their total here is nine. And 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.679 once again, uh, Frank and I are looking at the 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.399 total in this one because it's Tanaka versus Clayton Richard, 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:38.400 and you're like, all right, Clayton're injury. He's been around 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.240 the block for a really long time. He's never really 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.520 been all that great. He's just haven't spurts in his career, 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.399 and I wonder if right now he's on one of 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.600 those spurts. He hasn't exactly gone deep in his two 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.760 games that he started, but he also hasn't really allowed 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:55.040 many runs either. Yeah, so he's only allowed, you know, 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.959 two earned runs in for his first two starts. He's 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.400 only gone four innings pitched. But Yankees have actually struggled 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:04.080 mightily against left handed pitching. So far this year, which 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.040 is weird because they have so many right handed bats 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.680 in their lineup, and this is without standing and without judge, 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.440 and they're still striking out a massive amount against left 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.080 handed pitching, to the tune of a twenty seven point 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.359 seven percent strikeout right the second highest in all of 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:20.240
