But no, it's a sad day, 15 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: my friend. I'm gonna try and join you guys for 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: the last episode.

I 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: think the first day of the month though, is like 42 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: it's a labor day, so it's probably not a show, 43 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: so it'll be like the days after, So be on 44 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: the lookout when that autograph Jersey. Let's get into the 45 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: stuff and things, mister Joe Rico. Let's waste no more 46 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: time at the tippy top of my sheet's just completely frozen. 47 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: It's just completely frozen. Let's start with Jonah Toong here 48 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: for a second. There's a good one as I attempt 49 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: to try to get my sheet to be unfrozen. Here, 50 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: Jonah Toong getting the call up right here, better be 51 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: leading off with Jonah Toong. So we're promising with Lee Gold. 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: You know, Pizza Pia liked him. You know, whenever he 53 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: does a little bit of his prospect work, there's some 54 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: worry that there might be, you know, some potential relief risk. 55 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: But it just has not been the case for Jonah 56 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 2: Toong this year. He's had like a one and a 57 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: half era strikeouts like crazy. He's got some similarities to 58 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: Tim linsa come in the delivery that people get excited about, 59 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: and he's being called up to go into the rotation. 60 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: You've got Nolan McClain and now Jonah Toong both dropping in. 61 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: I think there's enough to be excited about, and I 62 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 2: think he might be potentially stream worthy. What do you think, 63 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: mister Joe Rico about John Tongue. 64 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, just looking at the way it's lining up for him, 65 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna get the Marlins, and then it looks like 66 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: after that there's not another definitive start, but it looks 67 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: like it may be Cincinnati, So regardless of who the 68 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: matchups are, I'd be pretty interested in adding him. But 69 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: considering it's two kind of softball landings for Jonah Toong, 70 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm all there, Like I'm usually kind of skeptical with 71 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: guys when they first get called up, but everything is 72 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: just fantastic with Jonah Toong. He gets a ton of whiffs, 73 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: a ton of swing strikes, doesn't allow a ton of 74 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: hard contact. It's only a forty percent hard hit rate 75 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: against them this year. Everything is great. Like, if I 76 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: was gonna pick nets, I'd say I'd like him to 77 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: walk a few less batters, but there's there's nothing here 78 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: that would stop me from picking him up pretty much 79 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: in all formats right now? 80 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: Am I all roboed out? 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: Too? So? 82 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: I saw someone said robo Welsh and then your response 83 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: is super late? So are things going even better on 84 00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: the last year. 85 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: You were a little you were a little little bit robowie. 86 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: But you sound good now, all right, all right, well. 87 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: We got the show sheet back here. So Jonatong, I'm 88 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: most likely going to be streaming him, similar to Noel McClain. 89 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: So go and get your pickups in. I don't know 90 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: how long. I think this is like a decent spot 91 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: for them to keep him in the rotation for, you know, 92 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: potentially the final month. And I think he like his 93 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: delivery too. That over North South is really really tough 94 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: to get on. So I would go and stream and 95 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: pick him up and maybe he could be a replacement 96 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 2: for Nathany Evaldi, who is diagnosed with a right rotator 97 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: cuff strain and he's going to miss a season. Chris 98 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: Young with the Rangers confirmed this. He had been having 99 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: a phenomenal year Evaldi has and it is done. And 100 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: that's another brutal blow on the injury front here, and 101 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: Tong might end up being a replacement any other replacements 102 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: you look for If I mean, I don't, there's no 103 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: you should like sit and maybe wait on Evaldi. I 104 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 2: think that's done, you know, you just move on from that. 105 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: Tong is a replacement any others that jump out to 106 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: you for anybody in a playoff run that lost Evaldi. 107 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: Right now, it's all about just picking streamers. Like trying 108 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: to forecast for the next few weeks is something that 109 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: I don't really do as much this time of year. 110 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: It's just about picking your matchups. Tomorrow, Jason Alexander gets 111 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies. He's been excellent pitching for Houston. I'd go 112 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: pick him up right away. Braxton Ashcraft is also a 113 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: pretty decent option if you're looking for streaming at Saint 114 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: Louis tomorrow. I think you just kind of got to 115 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: play it by year and just go a week by 116 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: week with streamers in that situation. 117 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: Kyle Bradish too, I mean we'll talk about him in 118 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: a little bit. Kyle Bradish looked phenomenal. I was super 119 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: dicey about that. I mean, I'll just jump into it. 120 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: Bradish ten strikeouts to run six innings against the Red Sox. 121 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: I did not see that coming. And frankly, like you know, 122 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: there's a little bit more than a handful of players 123 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: that get that leash. You know, like if they come back, 124 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: they could have missed three months. And if they come 125 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 2: back in the first start. I'm not even like thinking 126 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: twice about it. Bradish wasn't that guy, but he had 127 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: almost fifty percent k percentage in that start, which looked phenomenal. 128 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: His villo was down a tiny bit, but nothing really 129 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 2: significant for seam, sinker was down a little bit, foreseen 130 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: looked the same. I mean it looked like he just 131 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: jumped back into his stuff. His slider was actually down 132 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: the significantly, but he was able to get the big 133 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 2: strikeouts there. And Bradish would one hundred percent be a 134 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: guy that I would be looking to pick up right now. 135 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: I just feel bad for anybody that was like, hey, 136 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: should we two start him. I was like, I don't know, 137 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: but I think he's now in the clear. 138 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's understandable to be a little bit cautious coming 139 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: off of a long layoff. The thing that kind of 140 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: stuck out to me when I was looking at the 141 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: pages was that his stuff was kind of down, not 142 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: across the board, but his fastball and his sinker. The 143 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: stuff ratings went from eighty seven to seventy seven. His 144 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: fastball GRADEDO was a seventy seven stuff plus sinker at 145 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: eighty four. So I don't love that necessarily, but the 146 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: results were right there. Another guy where I'm probably not 147 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: just taking the reins off and saying he's starting. I'm 148 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: starting him in every single matchup. His next one is 149 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: against San Diego at San Diego. Don't know if I 150 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: want to do that necessarily, But right after that he 151 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: gets Pittsburgh. So I think I'm kind of just picking 152 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: and choose of my spots with him. 153 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe, I mean also the Red Sox. I mean, 154 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: he did his business, and Podgers have been weird. But 155 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: I get your point, like, if you have some trepidation, 156 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: but also with the injuries that are going out there, 157 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: losing guys like Wheeler and losing Evaldi, you might not 158 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: have you might not have any of these great options. 159 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: So that's why you would be turning to guys like 160 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: Ivaldi or to Kyle Bradish, Jacob Mizarowski, somebody that you know, 161 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: you've just probably been holding on to a little bit 162 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: of a rough stretch in there. Ten strikeouts, five innings, 163 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: three run ball against the Diamondbacks last night and looking here, 164 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 2: pretty interesting stuff too. Fastball was just on them, absolutely 165 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: on them. It was. It was a forty three percent 166 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: with freight, which absolutely beautiful throwing it in the zone. 167 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: He was throwing his slider in the zone, which didn't 168 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: get any whiffs, which I thought was interesting, but curveball, 169 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: so you know, he was able to mix in that 170 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: curveball enough and throw it for strikes. It was just 171 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: under a fifty percent zone percentage that he had some 172 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: high called strikes and whiffs. The fastball did its work. 173 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: Command was kind of back. Wasn't relegated to three innings 174 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: like this is a comfort level. I feel pretty good 175 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: about miss Rowski moving forward. 176 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: You I do too. Yeah, I don't really have any 177 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,559 Speaker 1: problems unless they start to give him the Crochet treatment 178 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: from last year and we start to see three four 179 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: inning outings. But at this point, even if he is 180 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: giving you four innings, if you're getting eight or nine 181 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: strikeouts every single time, I don't really care that much. 182 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: It hurts you a little bit if you're like chasing wins, 183 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: chasing quality starts. But even at the end of last year, 184 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: Crochet was still valuable in the right situations if you're 185 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: in points leagues like I've had people ask me if 186 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: they should drop Miserowski and shallow leagues. No, you're not 187 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: dropping him. But if you're looking for wins and quality starts, 188 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: you just might not get as many as you're hoping for. 189 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 2: This is funny, Faby, I just wanted to point this out. 190 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 2: Hurston Waldrip last night had such a weird line, and 191 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: of course no joke. My only bet I locked in 192 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: yesterday was Waldrip over strikeouts. He didn't have one five 193 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: and one third pitching to so much contact, yet he 194 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: really didn't. There wasn't like demolished or anything like that. 195 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: It was like five and one third. I think he 196 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: had like a walk no strikeouts? Was it one or 197 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 2: two and run? Super weird line last night. At least 198 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: it still got it done. Just did not help in 199 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 2: that in the betting market whatsoever, which kind of hurt 200 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: Lucas Gioledo strong outing of eight innings, shut out ball 201 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: against the Orioles just continues to roll. Bo has been good, 202 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: Gilito has been good, and Gelida's stuff maybe looks like 203 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: it could take back just a tiny bit as far 204 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: as like some of the expected numbers. But Giolito's another 205 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 2: trustworthy guy. Gelido or Misroowski, who do you trust rest 206 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: this season? 207 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: Man? That's actually a tough one. I'd probably go Miserowski. 208 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: I just I don't know. You say you trust Giuledo, 209 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: and I trust him more for sure, but I don't 210 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: know that's full trust. 211 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: I just think he's more trustworthy than where he was 212 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: at than where he. 213 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: Was at for sure, But I don't know if that 214 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: means he's set it and forget it necessarily. For me, 215 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: he's pretty close to that. But I think the talent 216 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: level of Miserowski, I think i'd have to go his way. 217 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: I'd feel I'd feel really stupid if I drop Miserowski, 218 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: whereas if I Flito would be like, Okay, yeah, you 219 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: know what I mean. 220 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm not advocating you drop Miserowski, for 221 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 2: it's like one or the other of one of these guys. 222 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: But also like Gilito the three and a half era, 223 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: it's been something like ever since he found that fix 224 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: in the fastball, he's just had some really great results. 225 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: And it was right around June, because he had a 226 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 2: high four era in April and May and then bam 227 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: June three point zero four, July three point four to one, 228 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: August two point five six. I mean, it is three 229 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 2: months of crazy good ball. But to your point, he's 230 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: got a four nine eight expected era, so that's like 231 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: a run and a half higher than where he's currently at. 232 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: He's getting away with a lot of stuff, you know, 233 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: but at some point the expected numbers mean a little 234 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: bit less. He's pretty close to set it and forget it. 235 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: Wilson Gaterreris has received the six six game suspension for 236 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: the absolute crash out he was in the other day, 237 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: but he's appealed on it, so it looks like until 238 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: the appeal gets all figured out, which you know, probably 239 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 2: will go five or something like that, then he'll serve 240 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: those games. But this was the Monday thing, and I 241 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: don't know, I expect in the day or two they 242 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: should probably figured out. So you're gonna have to probably 243 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 2: make a you know, make a catcher move. Luckily, it's 244 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 2: been pretty deep. Also in the transaction market, Ken Rosenthald 245 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: reported yesterday that the Guardians have placed first baseman Carlos 246 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: Santana on the wire. Interesting if he gets a new home. 247 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: He's had like only deep league relevance if it's really bad. 248 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: It's really not relevant, by the way, but it's just like, 249 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: you know, if it's a big deep league, you're desperate. 250 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: But what is more important is this paves the way 251 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: for Kle Manzardo and I think cjkaf is to just 252 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: not not deal in any rotate, weird rotational stuff or 253 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: have any potential time taken away. Manzarto has had a 254 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: really kind of slick season, or he's only hitting two thirty, 255 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: but the guy might be pacing out to closing in 256 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: on thirty homers this year. There's some rofile stuff that 257 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: I like, So I don't hate Manzarta for the rest 258 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 2: of the way, and I kind of think he's a 259 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: nice dynasty buy right now. 260 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Manzarta. I mean in April, I thought 261 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: Manzarta was having like a monster breakout year. But Cleveland 262 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: as a whole, like he has twenty one homers and 263 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: he has scored thirty seven times. That lineup has just 264 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: been a bit it's hard to even believe when you 265 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: see that. The lineup is just awful. But I hope 266 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: that you know, he is able to kind of bounce 267 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: back a little bit next season, because I mean, he 268 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: had a good year, but like, let's be honest, like 269 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: the mid months of the season were pretty lean, Like 270 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: it was tough to be starting him. June July August 271 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: like he started well. He's turned things around a little 272 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: bit recently. But May he hit two hundred with two homers. 273 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: June he hit three homers two fifty four. August he 274 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: hit two oh nine. I'm hoping for a little bit 275 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: more consistency from him next year. 276 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what what I want, is just regular 277 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: playing time. I want him to just be out there 278 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 2: and get to the adjustments. And I think he's gonna 279 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: he's gonna be one of those guys where you're looking 280 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: for those really deep league breakouts, you know, the Tyler 281 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: Sodastrom type of breakout. I think that could be Mansard 282 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: or The problem is is like, yeah, is it gonna 283 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: be a breakout when he's he's gonna finish year with 284 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: twenty five homers? You know, it's just gonna be like 285 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 2: can he started finding some consistency with the bat. So 286 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: a couple questions we'll answer from you guys. What do 287 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: you guys got out there? Muscle Hamster? I dropped Vaughn 288 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: for Ben Rice at my d H spot. Did I 289 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: swing and miss on this? 290 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: No, you're you did the right thing. Vaughn has started 291 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: to cool off Ben Rice. I've been obsessed with Ben Rice, 292 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: especially recently, he's actually started to turn things around. That 293 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: data has been good all year, but now we're seeing 294 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: the results. Catch your eligibility. You made the right call. 295 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent think you made the right car. 296 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: I mean, another one of those guys into next year, 297 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: like Ben Rice with the catcher eligibility, Like it's having 298 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 2: this long discussion, you know, I think you and I 299 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 2: might have been or me and Bubba. We're having it 300 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: in the last episode. I've been having it with Bogman 301 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: about you know, the price of what cal Rawley's going 302 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: to have next year. I'm coming around on it a 303 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: bit more where I don't think gets like dumb. I'm 304 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: still just not gonna pay it. Like I love that 305 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: he's gonna have like his full workload, you know, all 306 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: the games he DHS when he doesn't catch. His batting 307 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: average is kind of tanking though, and it's like he 308 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: might not make it out of like pick fifteen. At 309 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 2: this point in cal Raley, then you're gonna move back 310 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: some steps and it's like it's not cal Raley but 311 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: fourth or fifth round. Shay Leangeliers looks nice. My point is, 312 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: once you start dragging down the line, you're gonna find 313 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: all these catchers that, yes, cal Rally has a value 314 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: above the rest at the position, but there it's like 315 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: tight end in fantasy football, it's literally the same thing. 316 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: It's like cal is your Brock powers, but you might 317 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: have a Tucker Craft football people get this much later 318 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: in your draft in guys like maybe it's Ben Rich, 319 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: but maybe more like Ivan Herrera and stuff like that. Like, 320 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 2: I just think there's gonna be so much depth at 321 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: the catcher position of like decent value players, and Ben 322 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: Rice is gonna be one of them, assuming you think 323 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: he's gonna bounce back. 324 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but thatcher is becoming one of my favorite positions. 325 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I was talking about this with Paul and 326 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: Justin over the last week. First base and catcher two 327 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: because first base would be surprised how to keep it, 328 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: but catch er, my god, Like, even if you don't 329 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: get one of those top ten targets, you're still probably 330 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: looking at like, you know, uh i a Drake Baldwin 331 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: or maybe Logan o'hoppi on a buyback. Moreno is going 332 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: to be like non existent in terms of his price 333 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: next to year Edgar Caro Tyler Stevenson, Adlei Rutchman might 334 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: not even be a top one hundred and fifty pick. 335 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: And then you got the Contrerez's, although Wilson won't have 336 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: catch eligibility, Shay Langa, Lear's, Will Smith, Augustine Ramirez, Rice 337 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: Diaz Kirk. It is a very deep position, all of 338 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: a sudden. It's never been the case in my lifetime, 339 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: but it is all of a sudden. 340 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. And then it's like people are battling with like, 341 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: should I, you know, take Julia Rodriguez or cal Ralely, 342 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: Like that's the weird thing. And it's such a stacked position. 343 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 2: Shout out to some of the people in the Peanuts 344 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: and Cracker Jacks. King m v re subbing with prime. 345 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: We love those Primes. Let me squatch first time chatter 346 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: shout out and Gunda just with the follow follows subs. 347 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: All the things are great. I appreciate you guys here 348 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 2: on the fantasy pros. On the baseball side, a couple more, 349 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: let's hit two. Do you trust Jordan during the fantasy playoffs? 350 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: My outfield is Soto, Carpenter, Guriel and Loreano. I would 351 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: have to bench one of them. Alvarez return last night 352 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: I believe he was zero for two with two walks 353 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: if I remember the stat line correctly. So got into 354 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: some action. There's probably gonna be some rest in there. 355 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: Soto's the like lock in here. But dude, Gurriel has 356 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 2: been good as of recent Did you know that Gurriel 357 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: is I think it's eighth or tenth in the NL 358 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: and RBI. Think of how bad Lordis was for a 359 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: period of time, and he's like top ten in RBI 360 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: in the NL right now. He's just quietly gonna have 361 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: like a twenty five home. He's literally career highs, like 362 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: he is staging out to potential career highs across the board. 363 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: So he's tough to bench. Loriano could be, but like 364 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: I couldn't live with myself if I was like, oh, 365 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: I have to bench Jordan because I have Ramon Lariano, 366 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: Like I'm in a bench Ramon Lariano in this scenario 367 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 2: and provide me great depth. The reason you've held on 368 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 2: to your Navarez is because he's going to help with 369 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 2: that stretch. So do I trust him? We don't know 370 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: enough right now, but I know the talent is great 371 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 2: and I hope he's not, you know, suffering from you 372 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 2: know whatever that's going to be holding him back at 373 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: this point with back stuff. But I think he's going 374 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: to be okay, and I'm gonna bench Loriano for him. 375 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 2: Where are you at? 376 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: I understand, I totally understand that. I think, considering the 377 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: depth you have right now and how hot I mean 378 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: Guryel I saw at. The other idea is I think 379 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: it's thirty two RBI in August, like just stupid numbers, 380 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: and Loreano has Loriano has been unbelievably good as well, 381 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: So I think you have the luxury to kind of 382 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: let Jordan get hot on your bench if you want to. Now, 383 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: you might miss, you might miss a home run or 384 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: something like that, but it also might take a week 385 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: or so for him to get fully adjusted back to 386 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: major league pitching, and you might take a two for 387 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: twenty six in your lineup this week as he adjusts back. So, 388 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: considering the depth you have, if you were rolling out 389 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: like Austin Hayes and brand Mars or some nonsense like okay, yeah, sure, absolutely, 390 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: but you have such a strong group that I don't 391 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: mind bening your on for the first couple of days 392 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: just to see him get right. 393 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 2: I think you mean does Waldrop go to the bullpen 394 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: when Sale comes back this weekend? I think that's a 395 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: like I guess I hadn't looked back at the rotation. 396 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean over Cal Quantrill, Like I don't, I don't know. 397 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot about Cal. Yeah then no, Well, 398 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 2: Waldrip should stay in that rotation. 399 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: Cal should keep Joey Wentz too, Like I think Waldrop's 400 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: are into spot there. 401 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely good call on that. Is Mike Trout droppable? 402 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: And if this is what he is when he's healthy, 403 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 2: what's his outlook for twenty twenty six? I mean that's 404 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 2: a good point. The batting average has just never gotten 405 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 2: there this entire season. But you know, there are some 406 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 2: still loudish counting stats if you were to try to 407 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: play you know, projection numbers and just roll it over. 408 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 2: I mean, he's still a thirty plus home run hitter. 409 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: He just doesn't steal a lot of bases. He doesn't 410 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 2: have like a lot of run support around him. Batting 411 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 2: average kind of stinks, but they're is. He's almost a 412 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: two to fifty expected guy, so just want to throw 413 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 2: that out. But the strikeouts have gotten worse. I think 414 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 2: his outlook is similar to what it was this past year, 415 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: except now he's a little bit healthier. I think there's 416 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: the potential that you know, he could crack the top 417 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 2: one hundred in that but I think he's between like 418 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 2: seventy five and one twenty five because of the power potential. 419 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: But the batting average looks a little bit lost. Is 420 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 2: he droppable? I'm probably not. I bet whoever you have 421 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: on the bench is not better unless it's an eighteen 422 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: or maybe a ten team league. So I'm going to 423 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 2: say he's not droppable unless there's some really good options, 424 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 2: and I think he's like a top ish one hundred 425 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: player next year. 426 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know exactly where I'm going to come 427 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: out on him. To day. To date in twenty twenty five, 428 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: he's the sixty seventh ranked outfielder, which is kind of 429 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: a startling number to see. But he's striking out so 430 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: much thirty one percent strikeout rate, no speed. The runs 431 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: in RBI aren't terrible, but fifty six and fifty two. 432 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: He's just kind of unexceptional. He just kind of I 433 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: never thought I would get to this point. But my 434 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: trup's kind of boring. If he's not going to hit 435 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: for average, he's not in a good lineup, he's not 436 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: going to steal. Then he's just kind of a whatever 437 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: kind of. 438 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 2: Guy who jag, just another guy, just a jag. 439 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: And you'll see him in the you know, one hundred 440 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: and thirty, one hundred and forty, one hundred and fifty 441 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: range of the draft, and maybe you take him if 442 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: you need an outfielder. But I don't see him there 443 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: like I did the last couple of years and think 444 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: we might get a vintage Strout season like at this 445 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: point thirty four, with his struggles, I just don't think 446 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: we're getting another MVP caliber Trout season. 447 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I might be I might be overselling. Maybe 448 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 2: it's closer to one to fifty. I mean it's like 449 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 2: he's a thirty home run guy with I think we 450 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: know what the potential is. 451 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: Show it, ol show it. 452 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I mean in that general there's like a 453 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 2: compass on the tip of my tongue that I'm not 454 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: getting to. But like that's it's the general facinity. So 455 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: probably closer to one to fifty, he's a draftable player. 456 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: I guess if maybe that's more what you're getting at all, Right, 457 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 2: let's pick it back up rookie. Lookie Calsa Montgomery. Remember 458 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: Calsa Montgomery and power a Rico. Well, he hit his 459 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: fourteenth homer of the season. I believe it's like four 460 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: straight or something. Colson Montgomery, he has a Mike Trout 461 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: in him. He struggles from the batting average apartment. Power 462 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: is not an issue. There was this cool story about 463 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 2: I guess Colson Montgomery hit a homer in every game 464 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 2: against the Twins. Byron Buxton was so impressed Byron Buxton 465 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 2: asked for an autograph card of him, and Montgomery was like, absolutely, 466 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: but you got to give me an autograph bat and 467 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: or give me a bat or something. And Buxton autographed 468 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: his bat and was like, you're so much fun to watch. 469 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Montgomery's getting the attention of a lot 470 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: of big guys. He I told you, man, like, regardless 471 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 2: of whatever you want to look at in the minor 472 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 2: league stuff, power is not a question and him getting 473 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: to it. He's kind of doing a little bit of 474 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 2: like the Cal Raley thing where Cal in the second 475 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 2: half has thirty total hits, but twelve of them are homers. 476 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: So it's like when on impact it's flying, that's what 477 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 2: Colson's doing right now. So do you feel a little 478 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 2: bit better about the power projections moving forward until next year? 479 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 2: For Coulson, I think I do. 480 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I'll be honest, I was not right about 481 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: the power for this year. I thought, Okay, it's a 482 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: hot streak, it's a hot couple of weeks, which it was, 483 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: and then he cooled down. But now he's I think 484 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: it's four straight games of the home run again, So 485 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: maybe there is some streakiness in him. Maybe I sold 486 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: him a little bit short on the power. I think 487 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: what I was looking at before it was just okay, 488 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty games last year, he had eighteen homers. 489 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: In the miners, he had an eighty one WRC plus 490 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: and he struck out thirty percent of the time. So 491 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: I just I don't know, I was looking too much 492 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: into the minor league numbers. You've gotten the live looks, 493 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: which I think it's kind of an important point to make, 494 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: like do you need kind of a mix of those things. 495 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: Everybody can look at fangrass pages, but Welsh has boots 496 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: on the ground out there. We seeing things that don't 497 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: show up necessarily on the fangrass pages. And then I'll 498 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: give you that one. I'll tip my cap to you there. 499 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 2: Also just to point out like injuries, like that's the 500 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 2: thing that also gets forgotten about. He's been riddled. He 501 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: had a wrist injury that carried into the season and 502 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 2: carried into the second year. It's the same thing about 503 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 2: like I think it's going to happen with Chase the 504 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: latter when he ends up coming up in some you know, 505 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,239 Speaker 2: in twenty forty two, when he's finally healthy, like he 506 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: has been perpetually hurt and you're gonna look at numbers 507 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 2: and you're gonna just be like, oh, I don't know. 508 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: And it's just like now he has just been riddled 509 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 2: with injuries. If he can stay healthy, there's there's massive 510 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 2: talent there. And that's kind of what Colson Montgomery is 511 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 2: also massive talent at the major league level. Jacob Marcy 512 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 2: still going two for four, had a couple of singles 513 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: in an RBI against the Braves yesterday and just continues 514 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: to roll. I mean, we might be having a Marsie 515 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: or mic Trout conversation next year in drafts. 516 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: Oh Marsh, give me Marci one percent. 517 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: Without question already. 518 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, maybe maybe I'm maybe I'm putting the 519 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: cart before the horse, but I'm I'm in love with 520 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: this kid. The numbers, Yeah, I don't. 521 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: I don't think you're like too far off, but like 522 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 2: you know, I think it's a little bit more discussion 523 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 2: needs to be had. Like he needs to finish out 524 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 2: this next month. If he, if he finishes, finishes the 525 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 2: month out where he's been, lookout, look out for what 526 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: the draft stock is going to be. It's just crazy, 527 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: by the way. Shout out to Muscle Hampster gifting out 528 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: community subs and cheering again, these are things that help 529 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 2: with it. Who dat cheered a couple bits with a 530 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 2: question did I miss that one? 531 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:57,959 Speaker 1: Uh? 532 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 2: We always want to point out who'd at Looking to 533 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: start three of these pitchers? Who do I go with 534 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 2: Joey Winn, Slay Chaconi, Aaron Savale and ty Tywan Walker. 535 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 2: I would go Seconi, Savally and Walker. I'm kicking Wins out. 536 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, ideally there's some better options around, but 537 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: give them the options. I think you're right. 538 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, clearly they don't seem to be any good options. 539 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: All right? 540 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 2: Three up and three down on the up Azsi Albi's 541 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 2: three for five, two homers and four RBI. Picking it 542 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 2: back up a little bit, George Springer three for four 543 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 2: with two homers and three runs. I feel like George 544 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 2: Springer has a great day. Every time you and I 545 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: are getting to do a show and you're and you 546 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 2: do this three up and three down sheet, you put 547 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 2: him on here because these big days. 548 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: I wait, last time it was a combo meal. Yesterday, 549 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: two homers. He's having an amazing season. George Springer. I 550 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: don't think we talked about him enough this year at 551 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: age thirty five to do what he's done. Like, he's 552 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: been unbelievable. 553 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 2: Oh, Springer, Trout, It's gonna be Springer. 554 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: I think it's Springer. Yeah. Ideally I don't really like 555 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: either at their age heading in the next year, but 556 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: I think Springer. Springer's been a god. He's gonna get 557 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: MVP boats. He's been great. Not first place, not first place, 558 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: but he'll get like. 559 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 2: I mean, if the writer's name is Schmoe Schmrico, then 560 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: maybe he'll get some MVP votes, but he's not going 561 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 2: to get any MVP votes from anybody else in that 562 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: you really think he's gonna get a single MVP vote 563 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: with cal Raley and Aaron Judge album. 564 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: Not first place votes, but when you look at Baseball Reference, 565 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: it'll say like MVP nine or something next to his 566 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season. 567 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, I mean yeah, yeah, I. 568 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: Guess that's what I meant. I'm not saying he's gonna 569 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: get first No, no. 570 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 2: Schmoe, schmrico with a number one on George Springer. Who 571 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 2: is this guy? This is a crazy vote. Also Lucas Gilidos. 572 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 2: We mentioned scoreless innings, eight strikeouts on the down, Brandon 573 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: Fott stinks two and two thirds, six earned runs, eight 574 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 2: hits against the Brewers. You say Kakuchi allowed six earned 575 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 2: runs against the Rangers, and J two Romido was one 576 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 2: strike away from a Sinco stinko. We were so close. Oh, 577 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 2: five golden sombrero five four strikeouts in there would have 578 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 2: been so awesome. For my last show of the season 579 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: to have been a Sinco Stinko would have been great. 580 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: Injuries we talked about Evaldi. Luis Robert had to leave 581 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 2: early on Tuesday due to a left hamstring issue. Some 582 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: soreness there. And by the way, a lot of interesting 583 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 2: talk about like the I think they're white Sox, like 584 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 2: picking up an option on him and him being a 585 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 2: White Sox again next year. It just never ends, and 586 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 2: probably probably could have been a reason why, Like I 587 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: didn't even realize it was like some option they could 588 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 2: pick up one of maybe one of the reasons why 589 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: they didn't trade him so they could bring him back. 590 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 2: Rainnie Rodriguez placed on the fifteen day. I l with 591 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 2: an elbow sprain. Ryan Walker, Ryan Walker, come on down. 592 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 2: You are going to get the saves for the foreseeable future. 593 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: And I don't know, you know, if this is a 594 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 2: little bit continued, Ryan Walker might have the saves the 595 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: rest of the way through for the Giants, So this 596 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 2: might be a gift for people. 597 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: Joe, It's all circular, right. We started the year thinking 598 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: it was going to be Walker and then bounces around. 599 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: You know, the guy who has Walker in my home 600 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: league completely zoned out. I had Rodriguez. I'm thinking, okay, 601 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: I'll go pick up Walker. He's held him the whole year, 602 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: but if you can find him, go pick him up. 603 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: He just zoned out. Leanna Rott was gonna miss the 604 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: rest of the season with a bone bruise and his knee. 605 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 2: Jacob Lopez left elbow flexer strain that is expected to 606 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: end his season after getting obliterated the other night. Tyler 607 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 2: Stevenson is expected to return from the ile early September. 608 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 2: Jake Myers is going to have a rehabit signment and 609 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: join the Astros as soon as this weekend. Parker Meadows 610 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: is going to begin a rehabits signment as he's recovering 611 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: from a rap quad straint. And Jordan Romano is placed 612 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,959 Speaker 2: on the fifteen day IL with right middle finger inflammation, 613 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: probably from having to tell the fans that they're number 614 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: one after getting blown up the other day too. We 615 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 2: know why his middle finger hurts so bad. So those 616 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: are your injuries. Now, let's look at some bets, our 617 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: best bets for the day. Here on Wednesday, we got 618 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 2: some bets for you, Joe. What do you got for 619 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: the people? 620 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: So I am getting us started off today with Vinnie 621 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: pass Quantino over one and a half total basis. He 622 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: has been like walking on fire recently. He's facing Aaron 623 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: Savali and I'm getting this one at plus money. And 624 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of these are courtesy of 625 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: the Fantasy Pros are Betting Pros prop at cheat sheet 626 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: definitely giving me some help over there, a couple of 627 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: Drew Rasmus and bets today over for a half strikeouts. 628 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,239 Speaker 1: I know the line is a little bit juiced at 629 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: minus one forty. I'm just taking the money there. You 630 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: get the nice plus money play to start, and then 631 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: this one feels a little bit easier to get for 632 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: Drew Rasmussen as he's taking on the lowly Cleveland offense 633 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: which is just no good. And then this one also 634 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: from betting pros over fifteen and a half ohts. Doesn't 635 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: seem like we're asking a ton of to Drew Rasmussen here, 636 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: even money. I like it. If you want to pair 637 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: that with the strikeouts, get yourself a better line, I'm 638 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: all for it. 639 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, five and two thirds is what you're asking for, 640 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 2: essentially for Rasmussen to get there. I don't hate that 641 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 2: at all. I'm gonna be backing your Toronto Blue Jays 642 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 2: trying to blue Jay's first five run lines. So the 643 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 2: run line means they are going to be up by 644 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: a run through the first five innings. Eric Lauer in 645 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: that rotation again, it's an Eric lower day, so we 646 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 2: are backing him blue Jays to be up by a 647 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 2: run love that Detroit. I'm playing the full money line 648 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 2: for Detroit at minus one twenty six, and you have 649 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: a theme.

We got three people 670 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: with fifty positive grouts at fifty four, Busy at fifty one, 671 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,239 Speaker 2: Whips at fifty. That's the big count. Wonky is up 672 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: here at forty one. I've been told Joe was not 673 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: far off the board, which means I mean I'm probably 674 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 2: a little bit further down. I know Joe has got 675 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 2: imperpetuity of cal Rawley. I will be playing an imperpetuity 676 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 2: for the foreseeable future because I will not be here 677 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 2: and you know, barring anything crazy, So give me Schwarbs. 678 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 2: Schwarby is going to be there's a chat. Shwarby is 679 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: going to be my bet for the rest of the 680 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 2: way through and for today. Give me him rest of season, 681 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: for the season, for a Schwarberfest. Mister Joe Rico, what 682 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 2: do you got? 683 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: You got a decent chance to catch up with him. 684 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: I think with Kyle Schwarber, I'm going Boba shat today, 685 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: not beating the homer allegations on this fine Wednesday. He's 686 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: been amazing Boba Schat over the last month is hitting 687 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: almost four hundred He's facing Simmon Woods Richardson today, who 688 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: does allow just about a home run per start. He's 689 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: about one point four homer per nine. So give me 690 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: Boba Shad to take him yard today. I like that. 691 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: I'm a little too far off from Joe, so I 692 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 2: don't think like the way that it'll get me there 693 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 2: is if Schwarber leads a league in homers, like was 694 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 2: my kind of guess and bet with Cay Rowley struggling 695 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 2: a little bit, maybe that's a possibility. We'll see. I'm 696 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 2: trying to get over thirty. That's my big mark er. 697 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: Joe's been doing very well with cal Raley, and you 698 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 2: guys have been doing awesome.
