Speaker 1: live o Ki Dook. We're gonna jump into the stuff

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: and things here. What a day for show hey Atani

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: yesterday real estate investment lawsuit, triple play and a Homer

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: the trifecta. It really is incredible. So let's start with

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: the lowest of hanging fruit, real quick show. Hayotani's in

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: some stuff again. We found out after well obviously we

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: didn't have the show yesterday, but I had done something

38
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: and found out that there's a two hundred and forty

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: million dollar lawsuit that's being put out there. I'm going

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: to just quickly give the thing because like I think

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: the surface level, everyone's like, here we go again Shoeeyotani,

42
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: you know them bad business and stuff like that. What

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I've come to the determination is he has the worst

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: people around him. Joejyotani might be incredible on the field,

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: but off the field, his decision making is the worst whatsoever.

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: This all comes down to, essentially his lawyer, Otani's lawyer

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: in him being involved to be a promotional aspect of

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: an investment deal in Hawaii. The guy there was a

49
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: guy that kind of conceptualized this whole thing. He was

50
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: kicked out or two guys were kicked out of the deal,

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: and they're blaming Otani and his agent for forcing the

52
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: company to kick him out. So that's a crux of it.

53
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 1: They're like they use their power to kick it out.

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: But like we all know that this is the lawyer.

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: This is not a tony Famous people have to get

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: the worst type of people to work for them to

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: do the tough thing. So I guess I'm a defender here.

58
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: I just Sinkatani makes really bad decisions out the field

59
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: and has just scumming people allegedly doing stuff for him.

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: And this seems like it's a guy that got bounced

61
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: from a deal who's pissed because he's losing some money,

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: but because there's so much nastiness with the epay stuff

63
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: that like every outlet wants to run and be like,

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: show you Tony picture lawsuit two hundred and forty million.

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to call this a nothing burger, but

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: like in the grand scheme of like every outlet needed

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: to cover, it's kind of a it's kind of a

68
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: nothing burger. So I wanted to bring it up because

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: I think people I don't know, it feels like it's

70
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: getting lost in translation a little bit of rico. You

71
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: got any other different thoughts than what I laid out

72
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: on the lawsuit stuff.

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: I just don't really think this is that big of

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: a deal. I'll preface my comments by saying, like I'm

75
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: a Toronto Blue Jays fan. I'm still piss thet show

76
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: hey for what happened a couple off seasons ago. So

77
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be out here like defending.

78
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: Him that he was on that flight, that he was

79
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: on that flight then he didn't, Like, I have.

80
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: No reason to stick my neck out and defend him

81
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: if I don't think that there's really nothing going on here,

82
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: Like do we really think Showhy is the one on

83
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: these zoom meetings negotiating real estate transactions.

84
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: No, he's awesome.

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: He's not doing that. Like as much as it's nice

86
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: to like have a heel or have a villain or

87
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: whatever it is, people love to, you know, root against

88
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: the best player in baseball. I get it, but this

89
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: doesn't really feel like anything. This isn't the conviction. This

90
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: is an accusation, and it seems based on what I've read,

91
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: that it's more against his agent than it is against him.

92
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: He's obviously the big name, so he's going to be

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: the one that they talk about. But this feels like

94
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: a big nothing burger. At the end of the day, man.

95
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: It is. And we'll see and you know, like people

96
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: kind of throwing out like what is that going to

97
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: play on the field, it'd be interesting. He's pitching tonight,

98
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: so we see how he goes. He also hit into

99
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: a triple play last night right which was crazy. It

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: was just like right up the middle, bing bang boo,

101
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: one of the quickest and it was just like we're like, okay,

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: we're out of that. That was wild. And then hit

103
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: an absolute just rocket out with the homer, scored a

104
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: couple runs, had a couple walks, you know, still doing

105
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: like the crazy Otani stuff, So I thought we would

106
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: just you know, throw some of that stuff in there.

107
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: How about the Brewers. The Brewers continue to win? Was

108
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: it eleven straight? Freddy Peralta shut down the Pirates six innings,

109
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: striking out seven in a win? Eleven straight? You had

110
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: Andrew Vaughn three run homer. You had a freelick leadoff

111
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: homer against Schemes. We'll talk about him in a minute.

112
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: Christian Yelich is in there. I've been asked this question

113
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: over and over and this isn't quite fantasy. So let's

114
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: just do it real quick and then if there's any

115
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: fantasy nuggets in there. Do you think the Brewers are

116
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: I know, on paper, they're physically the best team in baseball.

117
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Do you think they're the best team in baseball right now.

118
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: At the moment? Yes. Are they the best team in

119
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: the league going forward? Probably not. I don't know that

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: I think that they're that good going forward.

121
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: Freddy praulta top three most underrated starting pitcher, think of

122
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: just underrated for this season.

123
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Freddy Pearlt is right up there, He's right up there.

124
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: I'm always on the Joe Ryan train. I don't think

125
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: he gets enough love. But Freddy Pralt is like what

126
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: a mid two's Era low one whip strake o its

127
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: wins everything. He's doing everything for you, And he was

128
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 2: like what a one thirty EIGHTDP this year, Like he

129
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: was really cheap.

130
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: He was really cheap and kind of waiting the whole

131
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: season for like the next the shooter drop, you know

132
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 1: what I mean, just like the next thing to happen,

133
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: and it just never end up having vial soulf relock

134
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: too self really just kind of sneaky and just got

135
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: to Skeens in there. Skeins gave up four runs, four innings,

136
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: took a loss. Era is now over to cy young

137
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: stuff adjusted a tiny bit. Anything in that Skien start

138
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: that you saw, I mean, he gave up that leadoff

139
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: freelick thing, wasn't able to go deep, which is kind

140
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: of the you know, the big nastiness for Skins here,

141
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, over to where Era is fine. I think

142
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: it's just makes the him and Wheeler case a little

143
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: bit closer. But anything in that Skien start for you.

144
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: Nothing really, I mean, it is kind of noteworthy that

145
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: he's allowed four and runs and two of his last

146
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: three starts, because he's never really done that before in

147
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: his career. Every now and again you see a bad

148
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: start from Skiens, but a couple in quick succession does

149
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: make you take note a little bit. But at the

150
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: end of the day, he's facing the hottest team in

151
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: baseball arguably not even really arguably right now, the hottest

152
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: team in baseball. So I'm giving him a pass. There's

153
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: nothing of concern here for me. Really. Yeah.

154
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 1: I was asked about this on CBS over the weekend.

155
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: They're like, do you think the Skien start is going

156
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: to break the streak? And I was, honestly no. I'm like,

157
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: Skiins isn't getting wins. The Pirates aren't big, you know,

158
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: crazy support team. Like, I think it is one hundred

159
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: percent going to come out of this road series, but

160
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be the Reds. I think

161
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: the Reds are going to be the ones that are

162
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: going to end it. But the brewis just kind of

163
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: keep going. There's a lot of fantasy value, you know.

164
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: The other guy we briefly did, I think on the

165
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: last episode, but Isaac Collins just keeps going. I think

166
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: he was hitting two in this lineup profile is really interesting.

167
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: He's hitting two ninety, he's got some split stuff, but

168
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: it just looks like he's just going to keep even

169
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: when Cherio would come back. I think this is a

170
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: guy that they're just going to continue finding time for.

171
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: So he's fantasy relevant. And that's the thing. There's a

172
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy relevance across this lineup where it's like,

173
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, Freelick has got that fantasy side, Isaac Collins

174
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: has got that. There's just a lot of like fantasy

175
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: upside and while this team is really going too and

176
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: sometimes the best thing about those type of players is

177
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: you can have quick trigger fingers. I said the same

178
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: thing on it Teal yesterday about like Jacob Marcy. The

179
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: reason I like Jacob Marcy so much right now too

180
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: is he's so hot. And I got to asked this question,

181
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: Profar or Marcy. Profar just hit a homer. Average has

182
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: been down a tiny bit, But you know, Profar, and

183
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: I said Marcy, because I think where Marcy's at right now,

184
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: the upside is so in your face. But if he

185
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: comes down to Earth, he's so much easier to cut,

186
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: bait on and move through. And so he's currently better

187
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: than Profar. I don't think profar is long term sustainability

188
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: is awesome, and I I, you know, if Marcia goes

189
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: through a three game skin and I want to just

190
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: move on, I'm really comfortable with it. So that's my dad.

191
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: What do you think, Marci or a Profar?

192
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: I've never been a Profar guy going back. It feels

193
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: like a decade now, but even especially this year, like

194
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: coming off of the PD suspension, the big blow up

195
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: season at age thirty two, the bad team around him.

196
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: I was never really into Profar. I know he's been

197
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: pretty decent over the last couple of weeks or so,

198
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: but overall the numbers are kind of mediocre. And when

199
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: you look at the lineup around him, I know that,

200
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: you know, you think of Miami's lineup, it's like, well,

201
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: they're not anything really that special. They're at least as

202
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 2: good as the Braves lineup right now, which I know

203
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: is crazy to say, but I think they are. It

204
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: might not be that way going forward forever. But the

205
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: Marlin's been pretty.

206
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like it on paper but yet.

207
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: No, but Marcy's been good, Ramirez has been good, Like

208
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: this is a decent offense. It's serviceable, and I think

209
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: Marci should be the pick for everybody at this point.

210
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: By the way, our chat's incredible Faby asked, because I

211
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: used the phrase the nothing burger, and he's like, what

212
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: is the origin of it? Then, Solar just nothing burger

213
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: originated in the nineteen fifties, primarily used in Hollywood gossip

214
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: columns to describe something that was hyped up but ultimately

215
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: in consequential. Very very good job, guys, Very good job

216
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: on jumping in here. It is amazing, all right, So

217
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: we talked about those guys. I asked you about Paul Schemes.

218
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: Was there anything there? Nothing really to take from it.

219
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Maybe there is something there with Spencer Strider. Spencer Strider.

220
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: It's funny you do our three up and three down

221
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: and you didn't have Strider in there because I assumed

222
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: you knew we needed to talk about it in the headlines,

223
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, we're we're on target here. Spinzer Strider gave

224
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: up eight runs in four innings in a loss to

225
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: the Mets. Strider has not been himself this year. I

226
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: saw a friend of mine and you know, huge fantasy personality,

227
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: Scott White, who's a Braves fan. You know, he gets

228
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: hit up a lot talking about just you know, in

229
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: brave stuffs, but he got hit up talking about Strider.

230
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: And he was tweeting last night about how the fastball

231
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: has just not been there and it just it really hasn't,

232
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: especially its effectiveness, because this is one of those weird

233
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: situations where his fastball's villa was up year over year.

234
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,119
Speaker 1: But check this out. Twenty three swings on the fastball

235
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: one with one whiff on that. That's a four percent rate.

236
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: That's atrocious, and he only got seven called strikes on it.

237
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: So he left that sucker in the zone seventy three

238
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: percent zone percentage, got seven called strikes and like no

239
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: whiffs on it because he's just leaving that thing up.

240
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: So there's something being lost in you know, there's like

241
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: a deeper look you need to do because you see

242
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: the spin numbers or on par or up the vello

243
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: is up, but it's just not there in the same capacity.

244
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: CSW percentage was twenty percent. Slider CSW was under thirty percent,

245
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: which is also not great. I just laid out some

246
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: of the stuff with Spencer Strider. He got lit up.

247
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: What in your mind is wrong and can it get

248
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: fixed to a positive degree for the rest of this season.

249
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: It's tough to say really, Like it did look like

250
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: for a while that he was back. There was a

251
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 2: good stretch between you know, June fourteenth and mid July

252
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: where he was really good. But the velocities down. The

253
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: stuff is dramatically down. Like the big thing with Spencer

254
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: Stryder was always like he's a stuff. God, he's lighting

255
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: up the stuff numbers one, twenty one, seventeen, one oh seven,

256
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: big numbers. The fastball stuff is down to eighty eight

257
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: and he's down to ninety four overall. That is a

258
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: huge concern for somebody who relies on the fastball as

259
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 2: much as Stryder does. So I am pretty worried at

260
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: this point. I don't know like that there's really any

261
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: move you can make though, because you're not dropping Spencer Stryder.

262
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: Trade deadlines are gone at this point. Maybe you put

263
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: him on the bench for a couple of starts and

264
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: see if see what happens on the bench, like his

265
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: next start. It'd be tough to do it, though, Like

266
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: it's at Cleveland, you're going to want to start him there.

267
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: I feel like you kind of just have to keep

268
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: rolling with him at this point came.

269
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: Over said he had dropstrider and a tend team to

270
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: activate Michael King. That's the way it's going. I want

271
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: to look real quick at look at the shape stuff

272
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: real quick on baseball savant. So if we're looking at

273
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: vertical on the fastball, it has definitely lost vertical movement.

274
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: So it's trying to do this. This is going to

275
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: be weird so versus compared, so no, maybe it's added.

276
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: So it's three point seven on the vertical or thirteen

277
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: point seven versus two point three versus last year. And

278
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: the horizontal break on the arm is significantly different. So

279
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: that's where there's a big difference. Eleven point four on

280
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: the horizontal movement last year, this is eight point seven.

281
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: That is, there's some dramatic changes more than I'm looking

282
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: at this actually, like his changeup has dramatically different arm

283
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: side or horizontal movement here and then induce sorry I'm

284
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: working through this. On the that's total movement on the

285
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: induced movement. There is also a decrease in vertical induced

286
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: movement on the fastball, and then the same thing on

287
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: the horizontal. So again shape, I'm doing all that to

288
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: say the shape of the fastball isn't as sharp as

289
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: it was in the past, and he has an arm

290
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: angle loss that is the most year over year than

291
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: he's ever had. So if you're looking at the pitch

292
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: arm angle, in twenty twenty one, he had a forty

293
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: nine degree, then it dropped to forty six the next

294
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: year up to forty eight forty six, so so there's

295
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: some drops down to forty two this year. So it's

296
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: you have an arm angle, which sometimes you can drop

297
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: the arm angle to protect a little bit on injury,

298
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: and you've got probably due to the arm dropping, you've

299
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: got a bad shaped fastball. So nerds all of that

300
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: stuff here. What that says is like, I don't think

301
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: this is a This is something that is going to

302
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: haunt him for his career. And this can't be fixable.

303
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: This is something you probably fix in the off season.

304
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: But his approach right now in every aspect of showing

305
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: you arm angle stinks. Shape is not bad. Stuff is

306
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: not good. What's gonna change? I don't think that much.

307
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: So you know what, in a ten team, if you

308
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: had to, I think he can drop him. And that

309
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: stinks because I'm a spencer strider guy and I'm not

310
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: really advocating for it, but live a nerd talk on it,

311
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, like that's not good. Like he's also like

312
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: a primary two pitch guy, Like you've got to have

313
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: the fastball, you got to have that thing.

314
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it would depend on the options. Like

315
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: I wouldn't just drop him as like a rage drop.

316
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: It would have to be for a nice player sitting

317
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: on the wire. I could maybe get behind it. But man,

318
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: like the more I dig in, Like you can kind

319
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: of ignore twenty twenty four if you're looking at stat lines,

320
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: because there's just two starts for him. But if you

321
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: compare it to his first couple of seasons, they're making

322
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: much better contact in the zone eighty five percent zone

323
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: contact versus seventy eight tventy six. The swinging strike rate

324
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: is down two or three points. The first pitch strike

325
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: percentage is another thing down, like eight percent swing percentages down.

326
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: Everything is kind of looking bad. I just wouldn't be

327
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: able to actually pull the trigger on a drop. I

328
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: don't think.

329
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I thought you were like laying it out,

330
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: Well you could, I mean, you laid out all this stuff.

331
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: You're like, oh this sucks, this sucks. But yeah, I

332
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: couldn't do a drop like what just.

333
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: Because it's Spencer Strider. And maybe it's the name value.

334
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the fact that even if you do look

335
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: at his most recent game logs, there's still games that

336
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: are just you know, within the last month eleven strikeouts,

337
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: eight strikeouts, thirteen strikeouts. So I think the name, brand

338
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: value and the ceiling we know that is there would

339
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: probably stop me from dropping him unless there is you know,

340
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: a fantastic option on the wire.

341
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. I'm not saying you

342
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: go droping for Brady Singer, but like, if you are

343
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: stuck with this situation what he's now, I think you

344
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: have to pay attention a tiny bit more to maybe

345
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: the starts that are out there. I still think the

346
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: strikeouts are still good, and he's probably gonna find these

347
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: things wafer, you know, like this, the stats and the

348
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: numbers we looked at of the season, You're gonna have

349
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: a game where he's a little bit back more on

350
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: it and the stuff is playing a little bit better.

351
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: Like he's a great pitcher. I'm not looking to just

352
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: drop him for anything or just create a streaming spot.

353
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: But the point is is, like has he entered the

354
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: territory where you can have the conversation in ten. I

355
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: think you can have the conversation in ten, but it's

356
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: got to be a tighter conversation you have with yourself

357
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: here because yeah, he's like a ten strikeout dude. You

358
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: can absolutely have that.

359
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the last thing, like I mentioned, Cleveland is

360
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: the next start, and he's lined up for at Miami.

361
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: After the fact, I know Miami has been better, but

362
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: I feel like I want those. If somebody drops him

363
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: and I have the option to pick him up and

364
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: start him for those, I'm probably gonna do it. I might.

365
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, I know some feel like absolutely confident.

366
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: We need that old from the Nerds. We need the Nuds.

367
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: It's like whenever we do anything like that, we Kali

368
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: put put a marker in that, or Seth put a

369
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: marker in that. For the future, we need the Nerds Club. Which,

370
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: by the way, I had a friend that was in Nerds.

371
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: It was a guy that like I went, I worked

372
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: with and he was older than me, and he was

373
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: in the movie Nerds. And now he's act. Actually he's

374
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: like a really popular character like doofy character actor and

375
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: he's in music videos and stuff in Helle.

376
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: Really it's super weird nudes, all right.

377
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge hit his thirty eighth homer walked a couple

378
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: of times stolen base. You'd love to see that, whether

379
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: you call it a combo meal or a hat and

380
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: a shoe or whatever. Pete crow Armstrong oh for four

381
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: with a strikeout on Tuesday. I maybe it's my timeline.

382
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: I have seen so much narrative of people done with

383
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Pete crow Armstrong comparing to a insanity movement of he

384
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: has just fallen off three for thirty seven this month.

385
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: Are you a believer or a non believer in the PCA.

386
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm a believer to some extent, but the extremes are

387
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: so funny. A couple months ago, it's like, we're gonna

388
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 2: see him go it first overall next year, and then

389
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, he sucks, you can cut him.

390
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: It's like, are you seeing the same thing? I am? Like,

391
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: I feel like every other day I just see people

392
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: just is so excited to share the awfulness of Pete

393
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: crow Armstrong and that he's done. He's got twenty seven

394
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: homers and thirty stolen bases, so no matter what he does,

395
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: it's an incredible season, but the average it's dipped down

396
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: to two point fifty seven. He's hitting only two fifteen

397
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: in the second half, but he's mixing his uh, you know,

398
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: his months up. He just like, what was it? He

399
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: just hit three oh eight in July, but he's hitting

400
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: under one hundred right now this month. Like, where do

401
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: you stand on PCA?

402
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that either end of the extreme is correct.

403
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: He's not a first round player. He's not a bad

404
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: player at all. He's just going through some ups and downs.

405
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: And I think that's part of the profile of PCA.

406
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: Going back to last year. He's like, there's a reason

407
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: why a lot of people were not interested in him

408
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: coming into the season because there are flaws in his profile.

409
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: Now he has worked through those. The pulled fly balls

410
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: have been amazing, the power has come out of nowhere.

411
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean that he is all of a

412
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: sudden going to be a forty forty guy. These ups

413
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: and downs are still going to be there, and I

414
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 2: think he's still absolutely fine. Like if anybody's cutting him,

415
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: not that I think that they are, but even if

416
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: in your ten team league somebody's cutting PCA, I think

417
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: that that's a huge mistake. He's going to be fine.

418
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: It's been an awful month, no question about it. But

419
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: James Wood just had an awful month too, And the

420
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: last week James Wood has been great again. So these

421
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: things happen. That's been the natural course of baseball ups

422
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: and downs.

423
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the tough conversations we have to have.

424
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: I feel like we have with you guys where it's

425
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: like a guy struggles and you're like, should I cut them?

426
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: And it's like the end of the day, Strider, Even

427
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: on the Strider stuff, James would We're not like looking

428
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: to cut these great players because like the best, the

429
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: elite players, like when they're on, you know, it can click.

430
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: But it's like there's volatility players. Pete Crow, James Wood

431
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: might be a volatile I actually kind of would have

432
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: put him in the camp of not because he could

433
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: hit righties and lefties and whatnot, but like I think

434
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: Pete Crow and maybe Strider right now, that there's these

435
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: these players that have this like volatility marker that should

436
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: be attached to them, and that's what you've got to overcome.

437
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: But it's like do they justify it? I couldn't do

438
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: it with Pete Crow just because like it's not just

439
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: like previous record. It's like this season he's practically a

440
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: thirty thirty guy and if he starts clicking, you know,

441
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: like I agree with you. The ability to get the

442
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: ball in the air is the biggest key. But the

443
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: league is adjusting to him and he has to just

444
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: readjust and you know, he might be more of a

445
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: consistent player next year. But he's pulling the ever living

446
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: crap out of the ball and he's seeing absolutely incredible results.

447
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: He's got an over twenty degree launch agle and it's

448
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: like those things. His ability to barrel the ball more,

449
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: he's hitting it harder and get it in the air

450
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: is creating all these incredible opportunities. He's just in a

451
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: really rough patch right now. So there's a Pete Crow Armstrong.

452
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: What do you guys got? We got to answer some

453
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: questions here today. Let's get to the peanuts and cracker

454
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: jacks and see where everybody is at our boy, Michael.

455
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: Rest of season Westburg or Blaze?

456
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: Alexander Blaze has been really, really hot the last week.

457
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: It's probably Westburg. But I don't mind going Blaze either. Honestly,

458
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 2: I don't really feel that strongly.

459
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: I would go Westburg. So another note, yesterday actually had

460
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: like a crazy like day off. So what did I

461
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: do spending a day off around here? I went down

462
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: to Scottsdale and went to Salt River Fields. I don't

463
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: know if you saw I broke some news. Ethan Holliday

464
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: got sent up. I was the first to find that.

465
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: It literally a player told me, and I was like,

466
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: that's cool. So I broke that. But in the same

467
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: token because I went to watch him in case On Cunningham. Uh,

468
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: Gabby Moreno comes carting out, which, by the way, Tory

469
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: Leavello told everybody he'd be in Reno and Jordan Lawler

470
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: then came out. Jordan Lawler in that game, he has

471
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: just been living here absolutely murder Balld crushed a Homer,

472
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: looks healthy. He was running and playing in the field.

473
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: I have a picture out on my Instagram of Casson

474
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: and Jordan Lawler playing third. That think, like, I think,

475
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: what when the Diamondbacks are? Are they at the road

476
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: right now? I'm completely drawing a blank right because like

477
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: or what is their next series? Because I think he's

478
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: going to go straight from Salt River possibly up to

479
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: the Majors. That's my assumption here with what they're doing.

480
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: And I think Gabby and him could go together because

481
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: I saw Lalla a week ago and Lawler was not running.

482
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: He was hitting, but he wasn't running. Now he's in

483
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: the field running, crushing homers. It's like complexy type of stuff.

484
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: But him and Gabby playing together. My point of this

485
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: is is like, if the Diamondbacks are home in the

486
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: next four or five days, I think he's gonna come up,

487
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna move Blaze around. I think

488
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: they want to get Lalla that opportunity. So that's what

489
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: I'm there. So the Back, Yeah, they're on the road

490
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: of Texas, that's what I thought. Then they're at Colorado,

491
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: so maybe the Colorado game or right after that series,

492
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: I think Laala will be up. So my point is

493
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 1: is I'm not one hundred percent sure that Blaze has

494
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: everything locked down. He'll get opportunities. I just like Westburg

495
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more.

496
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: That's fair.

497
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: That's my Okay, Well, yeah, okay. Next one game is

498
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: August eighteenth, thank you, Seth against Cleveland, So there you go.

499
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Lawler will be up. Needed to make

500
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: a roster move with sp drop she In at Rocky's next,

501
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: dropped Raghetty, added Javier Darvish and zeb twelve teen, Roto

502
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: wins and Kate per nine. How did I do.

503
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: So?

504
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: You added Javier, Darvish and zebby you drop Sheahan and Arragetty.

505
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: I think it's a yah.

506
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 2: The only thing that I might not have done is

507
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: dropping Shean for Darvish. I think I might prefer she

508
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: And depending on if he's gonna stick in the rotation,

509
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 2: and I think he is for now.

510
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: Rokie's coming back real quick, though.

511
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: I know, what do you think they're going to put

512
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: him in the rotation?

513
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: I think they might mess around with it. Yeah, I

514
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna play him Bullpen.

515
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

516
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a good idea, But yeah, I think

517
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: that's what they'll do.

518
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I think Joe did well there. I

519
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: Darvish had a really good start his last start, so

520
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: I don't mind going for that. I just like she

521
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: And a lot, and I don't think. I don't know

522
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: that he's gonna lose this spot. Honestly, the Dodgers are

523
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: always so hurt in the rotation. I don't really know

524
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: what's going to happen there, but she and is probably

525
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: somebody that should still be rostered in my opinion, for.

526
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: They're one more real estate deal away from having an

527
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: open rotation spots. What you're saying, So I have to

528
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: pick one for a start this week. Gosman versus the Cubs,

529
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: Lauer versus Texas also have Hunter Green coming back. Need

530
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: to drop one of Viento's or Blaze out Alexander for him.

531
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: So let's start with the pictures, Gosman or Lower.

532
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: I am probably starting Gosman. Texas as a as a

533
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 2: whole has been a little bit better, you know. I

534
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 2: think I still trust Gosman more than Lower, even though

535
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: Lawer has been very good. I think Gosman's the play.

536
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: Okay, and then I agree with you. But about Vento's

537
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: or Blaze Alexander, would you drop for making room for

538
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: Hunter Green? I'd probably drop either, But.

539
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think maybe at Bientos at this point, I

540
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: think people are kind of through with Viento's.

541
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: I think so poor Joe. Joe's out there punching the

542
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: air somewhere about the Vento's stuff. We can feel it.

543
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, here's one. I wonder how joeyp is feeling

544
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: about Strider these days. I think five straight outings not

545
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: making five innings. I know you gotta have five straight

546
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: outings of being amazing to be relevant. So no, I

547
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: guess that's only a NEPO baby thing, which, by the way,

548
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: I think Lighter was pretty good last night. Does anybody go, look,

549
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: what does Lighter's game log look like? Does he have

550
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: five straight games of not giving up? He has to go.

551
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: I guess in Joe's mind he has to go at

552
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: least five and give up. He might give us four

553
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: earned it. You know, if you give up four and runs,

554
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: you're almost not a great pitcher, but maybe you can

555
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: be someone. Give me the last five and see if

556
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: we have elevated his stad Do you have his status

557
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: for me?

558
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: The walks walks have been a little up there, but

559
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 2: the earned runs a problem. Earned runs in the last

560
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: five games two one, two, one one.

561
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: Now, okay, what are the innings pitch because if he

562
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: only pitches four, Joe says, that's a horrible outing.

563
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: Well, two of them were six innings, and then there

564
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: was a four four and a third three and the

565
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: third and then five.

566
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: So I don't think that that's not going to pass

567
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: the Joey p scorecard for incredible. He's still a piece

568
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: of garbage in piece of PA's mind. So there you

569
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: have it, everybody, Jack Lighter Welsh is wrong. Joe is

570
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: still right until he has five straight of five no

571
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: hit innings. That's what he needs. Five straight games no hits,

572
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: thirty five strikeouts per game. Then he can be good

573
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: and not just a NEPO baby. Oh yeah, actually, let's

574
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: do it. What do you think about O'Neil Cruz in

575
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: a ten team redraft? I think we're fine.

576
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk like him on the injury report, but yeah,

577
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: I mean I'm not dropping him or anything. Maybe you

578
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: bench him for a little while, depending on maybe the

579
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: news that we get over the next day or two.

580
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: But there's no cut to be made.

581
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: Uh A, Rico, I need your Clement thoughts. Canada man

582
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: him or nouelbe Marte.

583
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: I'm going with Clement there. Now, this power we've seen

584
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: over the last week, it's really funny because Buba on

585
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: Friday we were talking about Ernie and it's like, ah,

586
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 2: the power is not really there, and then Bubba just

587
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: reverse jinks him into three straight homers, which I will

588
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: absolutely take. But that's not going to be the norm.

589
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 2: He's not going to hit a lot of home he

590
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: might not hit another home run this season and it

591
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: wouldn't surprise.

592
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. But he's also like a.

593
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 2: Three hundred hitter who rotates between the number two spot

594
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: and the number seven spot in a really good lineup.

595
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: So I'm keeping him. I'm keeping Clement over Marte.

596
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: I think, would you want Clement or self Freelick? Philly's

597
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: still in the same thing, like he'll hit like go

598
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: in the lineup and then it'll like lead off.

599
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: And really similar overall profile. I might go with Freelick

600
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 2: just because US Toronto gets healthier, we're going to get

601
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: Springer back in, Santander back, Jimenez is back now, maybe

602
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 2: that eats into a day or two a week of

603
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: Ernie's playing time, So maybe I'll go free lick with

604
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: that one.

605
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I need too, Let's do one more and then

606
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: we'll we'll try to rally back here. Twelve team head

607
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: ahead points. I need to keep one out of Carpenter, uh,

608
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: caglion Er, Vaughn. I'm assuming that's like keep is in

609
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: like just for the rest of this season, not like

610
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: as a keeper, because the keeper is Caglione, without question,

611
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: But if you mean the rest of this season, this

612
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: is kind of a Carpenter of Vaughn question.

613
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: Really, I think it'll be hard to go against Vaughan,

614
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: considering what we've seen over the last month or so.

615
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: I think, as much as I love carry Carpenter, I

616
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: think I have to go with Vonn There.

617
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm a I love Carrie Vond's I do too, but

618
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: you have von is too hot right now. You can't

619
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: go against Vaughn. Yeah, you got to get out of

620
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: the whole like, but the rest of the season, it's

621
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: just like, it's what are you doing for me? Now?

622
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: That's the placement we have, and Andrew Vaughan is doing

623
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: all of that. We had two questions that are really

624
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: relevant to the prospecting. We had a great prospecting segment

625
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: earlier this week because one of the guys I told

626
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: you guys about was Nolan MacLean with the New York Mets. Well,

627
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: he is getting called up. I said, this is a possibility,

628
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: there's no guarantees. Annie Martinez reports that the Mets are

629
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: calling up Nolan McLain to start on Saturday against the Mariners.

630
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: That's huge. The twenty four year old has a two

631
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: point four to five ERA, one point one to three whip,

632
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty seven strikeouts over the year, and

633
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen innings between Double A and Triple A.

634
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 1: I love McLain. He's got the nastiest sweeper and they

635
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: move Frankie Montas to the bullpen for it. So we

636
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: had a really good prediction market in there. And Lee

637
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: had said in the questions, would you drop Corbyn or

638
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: Mize for Nolan McClain rest of season. I'm assuming that's

639
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbyn, and I kind of would. I don't think

640
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbin. I'm not really sure either one of these

641
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: guys hold too much weight to me. If McClain gets

642
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: them things lit, then we might have a problem, you know,

643
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: long term, like they might go to a Brandon spot

644
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: simply because of innings, Like how many innings do they

645
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: want McClain to go, But like, I think you're gonna

646
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: get some great spots starts out of it. So if

647
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: you're comfortable dropping those guys in a spot start range,

648
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: McClain is going to give them fits with his slider

649
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: this weekend.

650
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Casey Mize started off really really well and then

651
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: he kind of fell apart. He seemed to pick things

652
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: up a little bit over the last couple of starts,

653
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: but Patrick Corbin has been pretty consistent all year long.

654
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: As crazy as that sounds, it's like five innings, three

655
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: or in runs, five or six strikeouts. You know what

656
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: you're gonna get out of him, as as insane as

657
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 2: that is to say out of Corbin. So I feel

658
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: like MYS might be the drop for me, but I

659
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: don't feel strongly about that one.

660
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: Also, we did hear I talked about I think I

661
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: talked about Quinn Matthews. That looks like JJ or Quinn

662
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Matthews will not get the call up this year. I'd

663
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: like to stash JJ in a keeper league. Probably safe

664
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: to drop. Yeah, yeah, especially if they told us that

665
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen, especially for Quinn. Also, just

666
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: want to throw this out in a little bit of

667
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: the rookie Lookie quals to Montgomery. He yes, keeps going.

668
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: Remember when you said you didn't know if he had

669
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: the power, Joe, and then he just hit his tenth homer.

670
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: These rocket ships that he hits out of there, his

671
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: average is still going to be the long term question.

672
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: But he is up to ten homers so far this year, mister.

673
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: Rico hard to deny it. I'm still gonna say what

674
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: I said the other day that this is a very

675
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 2: very hot streak. But he's starting to make me buy

676
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 2: in a little bit more. Just when you look at

677
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: the minor league home run totals compared to what he's

678
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: done in the major so far, it makes you think

679
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,959
Speaker 2: that this is not terribly sustainable. But you've watched him

680
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: a lot more than I have, so listen to.

681
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: It's made so many changes. There was a there was

682
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: two different injuries that were going on over the last

683
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: two years. He's made swing and approach changes year over

684
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: year AFL stuff. He is just completely altered. He's just

685
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: one of the guys that I don't think the whole story.

686
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: The problem is the story of like inconsistent batting average.

687
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,239
Speaker 1: I think kind of just does hold. But like if

688
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: you're trying to look at specific skill set stuff, I'm

689
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: not sure if the strikeout numbers are going to tell

690
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: you everything. The power is not going to tell you

691
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: everything because there's been so many changes. Right now we're

692
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: seeing the power on display. But like you know, similar

693
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: to like Pete Crow, Like, what's gonna happen when the

694
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: league starts adjusting and there's just there's more information that

695
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: they want to attack. He's done a really good job, though,

696
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: and he's a player that you got to roll out there.

697
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: Three up and three down. Francisco Alvarez three for four, double,

698
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: two homers and four RBIs for your catchers. Roman Anthony

699
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: one for two, homer, stolen base, four walks, four runs.

700
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: He's ridiculous. By the way, are you a combo meal guy?

701
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: Or I've asked him a million times, I don't remember why.

702
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: Frank is very adamant about his version of the sok

703
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: and a shoe and it makes more sense and he

704
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: really likes that. But like, I got combo meal before anything.

705
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: So I'm a combo meal even though I'm a frank

706
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: standfl guy, I'm a combo meal guy. Which version are

707
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: you combo or sock in a shoe, which, by the way,

708
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,719
Speaker 1: is a homer and a stolen base in a game?

709
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: If you didn't know, Yeah, I mean, I love me

710
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: some Frankie stamps, good friend, but I am definitely combo meal.

711
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 2: Definitely on the combo meal side. It's just been around

712
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: for longer socking the shoe. I've always tried to figure out,

713
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: like you socked all yeah.

714
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: And the shoe for the stolen base, like he created

715
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: a very logical explanation behind it and everything like that. Yeah,

716
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: but it's always funny to me because like that he is,

717
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: that is his explanation for it. But like everybody else

718
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: uses combo meal, I also like the emoji combo meal

719
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: versus putting a sock and a shoe on there Aert

720
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: big Sandals guy too, So I wouldn't like sock some shoes.

721
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: Well, in Arizona, you would definitely not. There's certain phrases

722
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: over the years that have caught on, like two step

723
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 2: for two star pitchers. I'm pretty sure jeff Erickson just

724
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: invented that like a decade ago, and now everybody says it.

725
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: I've ever even heard that step.

726
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: He's got a two step next week? No, no, no, okay,

727
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: maybe just me.

728
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: I love jeff Erickson. Don't love that. Don't love the

729
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: two step. That's a dance two starts. See that be

730
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: the problem too. When there's as simple as a full

731
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: describer versus the analogy two step or two start, I

732
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: don't need to I don't need to be cute with

733
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: the name like the whole like homer and stolen base

734
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: like that. One makes sense to me to start for me.

735
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: But two steps fine, yeah, two steps totally fine, all right, Sorry,

736
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: put us off on a tangent. Dean Kramer. Also in

737
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: the ups, he took an l but he tassed eight

738
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: innings of one run, ball six strikeouts against the Mariners.

739
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: Very nice on the downs. Ranger Swarez six earned runs,

740
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: ten hits, five and one third. Clay Holmes lasted just

741
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: three and two thirds of an ending, allowed five and

742
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: run six hits, had five walks, and Jack Flaherty five

743
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: and runs, eight hits while striking out six. It's going

744
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: on with Flarity. Clarity has just been.

745
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 2: Blah awful, blah blah blah. I actually benched him in

746
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: a fifth the teamer this week, even with the matchup,

747
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: because I just that's where my confidence level is at

748
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: with him. He's not somebody I don't think that you

749
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 2: can drop because a lot of the numbers are still

750
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 2: pretty solid below the surface. Like he's a twenty percent

751
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 2: strike up minus walk, right, that's a really predictive number.

752
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: It's a good number to have. But this has been

753
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 2: pretty rough at this point. Like, if you're benching Flaherty,

754
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: I don't have any problem with it. His next start

755
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: comes versus Houston. I don't think I could do it.

756
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I agree with you on that. Tons

757
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: of injuries, so I'm going to try to plow through them.

758
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: Josh Hater going to the io with a strained left shoulder?

759
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: Are you going with SUSA? Susan Bennett? Bennett SUSA for

760
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 1: the for the extra closers, extra closing market. I believe

761
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: he got the four pitch save if you're looking for

762
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: a replacement.

763
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: So I didn't actually see that. I would have thought

764
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: that Brian abray You would be the guy.

765
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: That's I'm asking yea Brian Abrey you or Susan gotta save.

766
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: It was like a four pitch outing in there. I

767
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: think he's set up as like, yeah, a set up guy.

768
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: A bray you I think has more closer stuff.

769
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: I think it's a bray you. Yeah. I think if

770
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 2: you're looking for a speculative guy there. Based on what

771
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: we heard the manager say this morning too, the Hater

772
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: might not be back this year. It doesn't look.

773
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: Good, not good. Jacob Mizerowski is going to make or

774
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: could make a rehab start on Friday before rejoining the

775
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: Brewers rotation. I believe he had a simulated game he

776
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: threw a couple of days ago, so things are looking good.

777
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: He should be back in the rotation. Best team in

778
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: baseball continues to be awesome. Logan Henderson is targeting a

779
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: return in late September or early October as he recovers

780
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: from a flexer strain in his elbow. Sure not going

781
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: to really be an option for the Brewers. Unfortunately, there's

782
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: a possibility that Dylan Cruz is activated before the nationals

783
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: upcoming home stand against the Phillies, which is on Thursday, which,

784
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: by the way, Carmen San Diego is Dylan Cruz. Where

785
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: in the hell has Dylan Cruise? But I just you

786
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: just like forgot about him, that he existed, just been

787
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: a back to nothing Burgers nothing burger totally wrong this

788
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: season about Dylan Cruse. Could have been more wrong. Landa

789
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: Roup is expected to be activated on Friday to start

790
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: against the Race. Orioles announced that Zach Eflin and Felix

791
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: Batista will not return this season due to shoulder and

792
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: back injuries. So Keegan Akin, that's where we're gonna go

793
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: with the saves. I guess for you know, three save

794
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: opportunities for the Orioles the rest of the way.

795
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 2: I guess yeah. I mean, I thought you near Cano

796
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 2: might have a chance at that role because he's had

797
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: some saves before, but he's been bad this year. I

798
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: guess it's Achin, but I don't even know if it's

799
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 2: something that's worth chasing.

800
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: It's not. I mean, unless you're just in desperation or

801
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: you're doing the streamy stuff. You look, you know, if

802
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: one of those where it's like I got three closers,

803
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: I need to get another one, you could you can

804
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: throw that out there. Speculating. Shaye McClanahan underwent season ending

805
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: surgery to try and repair a nerve problem and is

806
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: pitching elbow. Hopefully it's going to be back for spring training.

807
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: I'll probably fallow right back into that trap. Jack agleone

808
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: started to rehab assignment on Tuesday, so he should be

809
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: back in the near future. This is off that strained hamstring.

810
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: A's got good news, Luisa a Reno's oblique strain is

811
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: going to be a short stint and he'll be back.

812
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: It looks like when he's first eligible on the twenty first.

813
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: Wilson Coutrez had to be removed a Tuesday's game after

814
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: being hit on the hit by a pitch in the foot,

815
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: So that's day to day. Oil Cruz left Tuesday's game

816
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: after suffering a head injury during a collision with Jack Swinsky.

817
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: So that's what you were referring to. I haven't heard

818
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: any other news though about it.

819
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: I haven't seen an update on it. I was thinking

820
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: that we might wake up to a il concussion kind

821
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 2: of situation, but I didn't see. I may have missed it,

822
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: but I didn't see anything like that so far. So

823
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: I think he's just day to day.

824
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: I haven't either. Yeah, I haven't either. Tony Gonsolin underwent

825
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: an internal brace surgery. He's expected to take eight to

826
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: ten months for a full recovery. My god. He practically

827
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: lived at Campbelback Ranch, which is their spring training facility here.

828
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: He's going to be back. He's crazy too, He like,

829
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: poor dude. He's just injury after injury. It's nothing, nothing

830
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: that this guy can get over. And then Astro Skipper

831
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: said that Tuesday, your nowvee is tentatively scheduled to take

832
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: live batting practice over the weekend. Sure, I don't believe you.

833
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: Sure, whatever you say.

834
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: We'll hold our breath and see when Alvarez actually comes

835
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: out there. All right, those are some injuries, lots of

836
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: good updates. Let's talk about some best bets. Let's do

837
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: some betting here for Wednesday with our best bets of

838
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: the day. We got a bunch of fun stuff. Joe,

839
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: Let's kick it off with you. Let's start with you.

840
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: You are player prop and the crap out of it today,

841
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: So give us what you got.

842
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are doing some plus money today, coming off

843
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: of a bit of a rough Monday, so I want

844
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: to bounce back. Vladimir Guero Junior has been on fire

845
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: for more than a month now. I think his ops

846
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 2: is like twelve hundred over the last thirty days. I'm

847
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 2: taking him three plus total bases just because the one

848
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: and a half over numbers like they're so juiced at

849
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: this point. It's like minus one thirty for two bags,

850
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 2: So three plus total bases. A couple of hits or

851
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 2: a home run will get that done for him. Tonight

852
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: at plus one seventy five against Kate Horton, We're finally

853
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 2: doing it. I'm taking a show Heyo Tani pitching over

854
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: on the strikeouts. He just had eight in his last

855
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: start and looked really good. And we're still playing the

856
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: Angels now. I targeted Yoshinobu Yammoto earlier in the week

857
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: for the over. It did not work out, but the

858
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: Angels over the last month strikeout more than any team

859
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 2: in baseball, and Otani I feel like the books are

860
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: still adjusting back here as he ramps up, so five

861
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: and a half at plus money, yes please. And then

862
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez, who has arguably become my favorite pitcher in

863
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: baseball this year. The number was very juice for him.

864
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 2: It was like five and a half minus one forty six.

865
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 2: So I'm playing this one up to seven plus strikeouts.

866
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: As he takes on the Reds in Cincinnati.

867
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: I am taking a little bit of a piece of

868
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: that where I'm taking Philly first five money line. So

869
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: that's my piece Phillies. Chris Sanchez is just an absolute

870
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: demon out there, so you know there's a tiny bit

871
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: of juice on it, but this is the money line.

872
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: Is the play when you can get it on those

873
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: first fives, because if they're tied, you get your money back.

874
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: If Chris Sanchez holds them down in the offense, which

875
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: the offense does get going well works, then you're going

876
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: to be cashing your first five money ticket. Now you're

877
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: going to see two other player props here. And this

878
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: is a shout out to our newest markets over on

879
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,040

883
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,040

884
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: We've got our best bets on them, ratings, ev there's data.

885
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: When you have an account where you can do the breakdowns,

886
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: you can see what have they done over the last

887
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: ten you can get your analysis, and you can check

888
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: all the books so you can shop your lines. But

889
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: we've added a couple new ones, and you guys know

890
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: I love hit runs RBIs and we've done picture outs.

891
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: So I'm playing two plus money plays that are on

892
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: that sheet that you guys can go and check out.

893
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: First up, you got John Carlos Stanton hit run RBI

894
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: one point five. It's plus money plus moneys on that

895
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: which I like and I believe it is the I

896
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: think it's one of the top plays, especially in the

897
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: plus money market. One of the cool things you can

898
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: do is you can sort by rating, So if you

899
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: click on rating on screen, which I just did, it

900
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: is going to give you the highest probability ones out there,

901
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: and that's what I ended up doing. And John Carlos

902
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: Stanton is up there hit run in an RBI, so

903
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: I just need two it's plus money. And then on

904
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: the pitching side, the other one we've added is pitcher

905
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,479
Speaker 1: outs so it works like you know, if you see

906
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: seventeen point five, that means that is projected to go

907
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: under six innings. So that's what I'm betting here. And

908
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: Meryl Kelly is the play. Meryl Kelly. This is hit

909
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: quite a bit here, and he's going up against his

910
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: old team. There's on a dimondbacks that know him. It's

911
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: seventeen point five outs under and it's plus one twenty.

912
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: So those are what I'm putting together today. Thanks to

932
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: check out what it looks like. We are still in

933
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: the fifty mark or positive grouch with fifty one. We've

934
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: got whips at I'm going blind. Is that for forty

935
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: nine or forty eight? I think it's forty nine, George,

936
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: at forty seven, we have got ten people plus forty

937
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: Wonky is actually at the tippy top at thirty nine,

938
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: nowhere to be seen for me. But I did get

939
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: a Kyle Schwarber homer the other day, so I don't

940
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: know where the hell I'm at in this whole thing.

941
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: Where are you going, Arico? Where are you going with

942
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: your home run call?

943
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: Today? I'm playing at Spice. See man, I took Otani

944
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: strikeout overs. We're taking him on the home run call.

945
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 2: He's facing Kyle Hendricks today, who is a bit of

946
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 2: a human pitching machine. One point four to seven homer

947
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 2: for nine this year, nineteen home runs allowed. I think

948
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 2: it'll be twenty tonight against Showhy.

949
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: All right, I'm at twenty nine. I'm not even in

950
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 1: the thirty marker yet, so Schwarber got me a little

951
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: bit of action. I'm actually also going with a guy

952
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: I think that Otani hit homer last night? Your pick

953
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: taking him, I'm gonna go with the guy that hit

954
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: homer last night, and I'm gonna go with Pee Alnzo. So

955
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: give me p d Alonso for the next two days.

956
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,200
