Oh this person. 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:51.319 You know what? 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.440 I almost thought the Jerks and Profar news was April 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.920 Fools a little early and somebody went out there, but 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:58.760 that turned out to be true.

Very exciting times here, Welsh. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.080 Let's get to the headlines because it's a bad day 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.600 for the Braves. Jerkson Profar eighty game suspension testing positive. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.400 I guess now we know why they signed for Dugo. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.640 I think they knew this was coming down the bike. 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.440 I'm just telling you. And then Ranaldo Lopez goes on 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.320 the IL. Bryce Elder gets called up. So Elder Dugo. 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:21.960 Any of those guys worth adding? And what does it 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.560 mean for those folks who drafted Jerrekson Profar just dropping 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:26.760 him to the wire? I assume. 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.280 Yeah, so Profar, I saw this news yesterday when I 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.520 was doing ITL show as well, and I was like, 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.760 I don't believe you. I'm not going to fall for this. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.960 The day before April Fools and then Mike Deportos was 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.680 on Twitter was starting to put it out, but then 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.080 about an hour later, passing them ran with it. hCG. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.520 It's a masking agent that hides the steroids and it 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.800 was a Manny Ramirez thing. Suspended for eighty games. You 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.240 can cut them, see you. I don't think you need 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.959 to hold out and especially have that hostage roster spot 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.280 taken for you know, half of the season when he 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.839 comes back, He's going to be relevant. You can cut 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.240 his ass cheater, see ya, bye bye, Verdugo. Clearly, I 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.200 kind of agree with you. I think they knew that 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.200 this was coming at some point in the year, and 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:15.959 they signed for Dogo because it didn't really make a 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.360 lot of sense when you had Brian Dale Lacruz and 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.320 you had Jared Kelnick out there. So I think they'll 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:25.000 continue to roll out some version of a platoon while 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.880 uh Acuna is out. I think Verdugo can play some more. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.160 I don't think there's a ton of fantasy value. You'll 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.079 have a Lacruze Kelnick platoon that's going to go out there. 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.280 I don't think there's a ton of value. You're gonna 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.320 hate this, Joe. I think Michael Harris is the biggest 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.600 beneficiary because he's going to move up the lineup he 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.520 led off yesterday. I think you're gonna see him leading 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.880 off more. That might be a slight little uptick. But 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.880 the guys that are replacing, Nah, there's nothing that I'm 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.480 down for with the Braves, just another little slap. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.640 Yeah. I think you might see Acunia as a timetable 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.160 moved up just to Tad too, just saying, uh, I 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.560 think that's pretty good luck too. Yeah, keep an eye 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.160 out for that. Let's take a couple of questions here. 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.880 Let's go to MS. What do you do with Jackson 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.680 Job after the first start? Command of meh, possibly tipping pitches. Look, 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.080 you know what you're getting into with these young kids. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.160 They got a lot of upside. But sometimes it takes 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.280 it a while to me. If you're panicking already about Job, 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.960 then you didn't know what you were getting into. I 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.960 would then wait for a good start and deal him. 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.440 That's what I would do, because he could have limitations anyway, 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.120 Jackson Job and he thoughts about what you saw of 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:24.960 his first start. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.599 I don't know if you can like just deal. I mean, 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.120 if you can deal them, great, that's awesome. I think 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.000 he's kind of free. I think that's why people are wondering. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.320 I don't think. I think it's more about, like, you know, 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.919 should I kick him to the wire and you know, 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.720 go with some streaming options. If someone like Jeffrey Springs 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.760 were out there, like, yeah, I'd absolutely do it. But 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.760 if you've listened to me at all for a long time, 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:45.840 since a year over a year and a half ago, 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.840 I talked about seeing him in the AFL. There's one 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.680 thing that he dos does consistently is that he is 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.040 not like a backwards pitcher. You kind of know what's coming. 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.760 He pitches to count, he's adding more pitches in. He 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.960 was thirty eight percent fast ball, twenty nine percent cutter, 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.240 change up. He didn't really go with the curveball a 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.080 whole bunch. I think it was okay. It was his 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.240 first start. I'm not going absolutely nuts. The changeup had 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.080 good whiffs. The cutter had good whiffs. But he's kind 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.200 of like, you know who he is, and he's not 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.760 super sneaky pitcher. So I think he's gonna run a 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.200 four ERA this season. I think the strikeouts would be okay. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.960 I think he's a streamer pitcher. So my answer would 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.919 be is if there's a nice streamer out there, I 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.680 would go with it. I mean, we're gonna talk about him, 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.000 but like I don't Chris Bubach yesterday looked really good, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:32.720 so I'd be able to get to the movie off. 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:34.520 You're gonna get to the Bubbola in just a moment. 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.760 Here Red Sox and Garrett Crochet in agreement of six year, 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.400 one hundred and seventy million dollar contract. Gee, I feel 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.360 like we just talked about this yesterday, didn't we We 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.640 talked about the possibility of, Hey, maybe a deal devers 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.000 and you end up extending Crochet or extending Campbell or 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.960 Roman Anthony. Right, my goodness. This is why you watch 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.159 Leading Off, this is why you subscribe to the YouTube channel. 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.719 And we're getting real close to twenty five thousand, so 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.400 make sure you subscribe today. Also, Ellie de la Cruz 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.839 is big day, his big day out four for five, 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.719 two homers, a double, seven rebiz, a steal. Fourteen to 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.800 three was the final score against the Rangers. But Ellie 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.120 was using the torpedo bat. I'm excited because you know, 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.520 I love Ellie and I've got Ellie shares, so this 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.560 was good for me. Do you think now that Ellie 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.960 had this big day that you're gonna see a lot 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.760 more torpedo bets in the pipeline by the weekend. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.520 Oh, we've had that's already happening. I will still stand 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.360 to this. I'm shocked that that many people are becoming 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.839 more noticed on it his players, because players have been 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.440 using it. They actually interviewed the MIT guy. He works 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.760 for the Marlins Now yesterday and he had said they'd 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.039 been working on this for two years. Lots of players 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.000 have known about it, but they've been trying to perfect it. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.480 And then as you're seeing this big public success, then 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.760 orders are going through every single broadcast I watch yesterday 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.840 and I watch a bunch of different games, clicking through 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.280 every single one was talking about how dot players were 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.880 putting in an order for torpedo bats every by Friday. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.960 By this weekend, everybody that is on the initial run 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.719 is going to have a torpedo bat. Well, my biggest 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.200 stance on this, I think is great for baseball, Ellie. 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.680 There's obviously a benefit. One thing I keep holding to 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.160 and I'm dying to talk to some pictures about this. 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.520 How are pitchers going to bounce back? How are they 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.400 going to adjust to the barrel being in a different spot, 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.360 you know? Is it going to change to pitch mixes? 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:26.760 Is there a certain type of pitch you want to 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.640 throw them more to kind of counteract that for maybe 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.559 more ground balls? I don't know. But Ellie went off, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.920 and the superstars continue to go off. This is why 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.000 at one point I had Ellie at like three on 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.520 my overall list. Love him, took him four across the board. 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.520 He is disgusting and I almost bet him for my 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.240 home run call yesterday. I still got a homer, but 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:48.440 I would be on the board you did. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.560 I wish I bet him yesterday. Man. My advice to 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.160 everybody out there, bet the overs on games where you 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.000 know torpedo bats are until. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.000 But we don't know. That's the other thing we need, 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:59.080 like a corpedo back. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:00.680 You know where theykees are, well, we know where the 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.760 aches are. Yeah, right now, I think it's eight and 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.000 a half today. I'm just saying a couple other things here. Yeah, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.720 we should have a torpedo bat tracker. That's a fun 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.320 one from b over here. I love the Peanuts and 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.120 the Crackerjacks are on fire today. In the chat, this 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.200 is why you're with us on Twitch, Twitch, dot tv 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.000 Slash Fantasy Pros. We're live every day at noon hanging 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.440 out with you guys, talking baseball. Let's get to some more. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.440 Jose Ramirez, this was really good news. He was in 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.760 the lineup on Monday three for four and he had 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.280 a home run. I mean, so if you're worried, no worries, 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.880 everything's fine. Carson Kelly had himself A Good Day too 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.040 hit for the cycle. So that's a fun thing. Cub 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.120 scored eighteen runs in that one. A good Day from 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:40.400 Kyle Tucker and then the Dodgers unfortunately had a little 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.000 mishap with Freddy Freeman. And that mishap is in quotes 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:44.800 according to Dave Roberts. So he was getting into the 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.280 shower on Saturday and he tweaked a surgically red angle. Now, 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.680 well with the it's funny you say that, because with 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.880 the help of AI technology, I have a little insight 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.960 as to what went on. So let's throw the pictures 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.280 up here and show you. So here was Freddy Freeman 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.080 in the shower. Here's what he was doing there. As 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.120 you could see, it looks like he was hanging out 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.280 in some sort of small pool of soap. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.880 And then he sums into the abyss. That's like, does 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.280 that rack me down to hell? Like the it was 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:15.080 a Sam Raimi movie. Very interesting that. Okay, A, I 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.960 think everyone's going to focus on the left picture. If 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.880 you're listening on the podcast, definitely come and look at 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.079 this the left picture. He's in his jersey, and that's 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.160 everyone's going to be wise. In his jersey here's a 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:28.960 better question. Why are his pants rolled up with the 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:29.800 jersey and. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.199 The pants the baseball pants. Sometimes it's a day. 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:34.920 It's also a bidet, by the way, look at the 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:35.760 spout coming up. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.080 It is. But the other fun thing he is you 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.680 could see in picture number two that once he fell, 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:46.400 the water continued and and obviously deteriorated his jersey into 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.920 his flesh, which is very disturbing. And now it's a mishap. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:55.319 His pants are becoming short. He looks like like Chris 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:56.199 Evans a little bit. 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.679 There's a Chris Evans quality. This is shout out to 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:05.120 Freddy Freeman. Hopees he hope he gets better soon. Let's 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.480 shout out some of the people some new subs today. Wells, 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.720 who do you see on the new sub wagon here 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:10.680 on our Twitch stream. 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.640 Well, we got a lot of new followers in here 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:17.680 going ballistic menci RJ I know RJ jag as a 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.600 tummy lesorda very ape. 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.520 Oh I know tummy Yeah, I like too. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.280 And shout out to our boy Cooper V subscribed using 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.280 Prime absolutely free for him. Yeah, gets rid of ads, 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.520 supports us. He linked his Prime account to Twitch, which 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.280 everybody can do. And as now he can make the 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.880 run calls, he can make home run calls, exactly right. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.080 All right, let's go under the radar guys here. Jake Magnum, 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.199 great name, four for four, two Ribbies, two steals on Monday, 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.280 so he's filling in for Josh Low on the il 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.720 for the raise. David Peterson nine strikeouts for him. Now, 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.120 Peterson was a guy and I wrote up in the 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.120 Black Book this year, and I write up the picture profiles, 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.079 and I really liked when I started to dig into 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.720 the deeper metrics and then went back and watched some 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:54.800 of the starts. See when I was like, you know, 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.760 I think David Peterson, if they just left him alone 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.560 for thirty starts, he could be a really viable middle 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.080 of the rotation fantasy starter. And so far, I look, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.080 it's the Marlins lineup. We could talk about that all 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.719 we want. It's not a great lineup, but still very 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.559 encouraging first outing and a good spring for Peterson as well. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.920 Also another one of my favorite under the radar pitchers 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.800 in draft season, Brady Singer, great start seven innings against 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.760 the Rangers, struck out eight against the Reds. Auto Lopez 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.520 also in that same game with the Mets. Obviously, the 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.560 Mets put on a lot of noise there, but three 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.960 for five, two homers. So I saw somebody earlier asking 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.240 about Auto Lopez. I did see you. I was saving 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.640 it for now Auto Lopez. There you go, twelve team 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.199 Cats got two il spots. Kirby, my other should hold 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.520 on to Lopez. I think you do. And I also 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.920 think you know Lopez is a guy that at this stage, well, 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.400 she'd probably want to be picking up because second base 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.040 is weak. I'm not saying he's gott a hit form 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.200 massive power, that's not really his profile, but he does 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:51.360 have two home runs already. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.679 Yeah. I mean I got this question yesterday where it 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.080 was Polank or Auto Lopez. I lean, I leaned Polanco. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.160 I still kind of do, even tho their offense has 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:04.480 been But if you're talking about short term production right now, 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.400 he's there. He's absolutely there because he's leading on he's 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.880 hitting clean up for the Marlins, like he's hitting in 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.200 a prime spot. We saw that with Andro Jimenez as well. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.800 So I think Auto Lopez is definitely a speculative pickup. 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.400 My problem is is I'm not sure the sustainability on 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.800 it for the entire season and there are a few 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.040 guys out there that I think might be really interesting 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.520 to pick up, but I'm totally down with it. We're 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.520 in a struggle buzz right now. People are like, I 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.800 don't want to wait three days for Michael Tolia. Should 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.000 I cut him and pick up Gavin Sheets. That's like 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.960 a big one out there if injuries are kind of hitting. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.240 I think ottol Opus is a really good speculative bat, 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.240 but I would have a quicker trigger finger getting out 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.480 from under him. Kind of believe in Planco a little 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.199 bit more, but love the spot and these like weird, 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.760 cleanupy type of guys that are hitting for like Andro Himenez. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.160 It's contact hitters there, RBI opportunities, and to credit the 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:58.960 Marlins are playing a little bit better, So I would 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.360 go Autolope. See, like, there's a good question. Cooper just said, 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.920 Otto Lopez or Luis from Guifo? I right ring Geefo 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.880 for this season. Like there's a very small short sample 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.440 size of Otto Lopez. But is Otto Lopez worth it 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.960 if you've got like an open middle infield spot. Absolutely, 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.520 but I'm not cutting ring Guifo for it. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.680 We just had an update here. It looks like from 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.880 Mike Mayor where he's saying that they're going in discord 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.560 torpedo bat home runs as half a home run. He's 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.760 going to now count it as because Mike Mahyor is 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.760 you know, he's very strict about things. So so if 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:32.520 you get a torpedo bat home run, it's not gonna 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.720 be a full home run according to Mike Mahor. This 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.760 is this is outrageous. I think everybody in the chat 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.080 should boom Mike Mahyor. If you are not happy with 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.800 this decision, you know right now you leave things in 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.280 the hands of Mike Mahra. This is what happens. 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.880 Boom this man, do the uh the Kurt Angle chant 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.079 you suck. 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.000 Suck, yeah, you suck, just yeah, get all the booze. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.160 Look at the booze flying in already. I love it. 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.959 Boo that man. Boom hard guys, it's April Folst. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.480 I barely could go along with it. It made me 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.800 feel mad. I could barely go along with that Mayor 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.480 wanted to do. You know what. Boom Mike Mayor for 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.040 wanting to do an April yeah joke on this show. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.000 So many boo that boo that just boom Mic mayor 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.920 on principle. All right, three up and three down, Chris 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.800 boo bick, shout out the Brewer. Six innings struck out, 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.960 eight are Bubbola looking really good here? Tyler Glass Now 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.760 eight strikeouts of his own were five squirrels and things 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.120 against the Braves and Pete Alonzo big day two for 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.720 four with a grand slam on Monday ten to four. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.640 That's all blow out of the Marlin. So really good 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.440 stuff there. The Mets offense starting to wake up a 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.840 little bit. They had tons of stranded runners in that 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.320 Houston series, so they faced Sandy al Contra today. Might 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.320 be a little tougher, but it's good to see that 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.640 Mets offense doing well. But Bubbala is the one I 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.640 want to talk to. I want to talk about that 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.600 guy for a moment, because he's probably available, I would 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.520 imagine on most waiver wires. Still, I'll get the percentage 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.280 exactly where he is. But talk to me about what 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.240 your expectations are for him and this Royals rotation. That look, 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.040 it's gotten off to kind of a rocky start. Reagan's 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:00.600 wasn't at his best. So where are you at with 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:01.160 the Bubbola? 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.200 Yeah, Chris Bubich a couple that which really interesting. I 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.640 was actually I've got a little il twitch as well 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.280 that I was streaming on and I was streaming during 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.480 this match like it's a tennis match during this game 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:18.400 and watching Bubach, really really impressed with the pitch mix 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.320 as well, because like he's heavier fastball, but he's got 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.720 two different versions of a slider. He was throwing his 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.160 change up. He did it all ten percent or more 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:30.200 of the time, but because of the secondaries and the 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.200 command on the fastball, he ended up getting a forty 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.119 four percent with rate on his fastball. He had eleven 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.840 whiffs on twenty five swings. Everybody was behind on the counts. 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.480 He was throwing ninety three here pinpointing corners didn't have 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.680 really great, awesome whiff or called strike rates on the secondaries, 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.880 but those ended up setting up the fastball. Now, I 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.360 don't think the fastball with percentage is something maintainable. We 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.440 don't see that in a lot of starting pitch. It's 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.280 very unique that they like that's the dominant thing. But 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.800 it was the command with the pitch mix and kind 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.280 of pitching from behind that I was really really impressed with. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.800 Brewers are a little bit of a disaster right now. 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.520 Offense obviously, like Churio is swinging through everything figured out. Yeah, 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.720 I suppose. But like the Royals have done a really 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.080 good job in some of their pitching development. They've they 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:22.720 did the cutter stuff with with Cole Reagan's fastballs are 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.160 ticking up a lot in their development. I think Bubich 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.480 is a a streamer, but b might be a guy 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.560 to potentially hold on to. And I don't think I'm 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.560 going to be comfortable putting him out there versus like 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.280 you know, Torpedo Yankees or maybe even an Astros. But 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.640 when you're getting these type of matchup, you know, like 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.800 a Pirates or a Mariners or something like that. I 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.240 really like Chris Bubach right now. So yeah, I'm glad 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:46.040 we talked about. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.040 Him, and somebody mentioned in the channel was going to 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.400 mention it, but they they beat me to it qualifies 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.360 an ourp Guess the roster percentage on CBS of him. 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.640 Well, I just saw somebody put the ESPN to one. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.760 Well, the ESPN doesn't count because everything's free over there 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:01.040 and everything's insane. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:02.880 Do you want me to actually know? Is this rhetordic? 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.119 Let's guess what the paid leagues are paid league, I 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:09.800 would say better one for roster percentage fifteen percent, sixty 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.679 six percent actually much higher than I think. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.600 Okay, yeah, and CBS always runs higher rates because if 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.159 a guy is starting, everybody picks up. 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:18.439 What's the ESPN number? 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:23.280 Nine percent? So I think it's cultured like a twenty 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.800 percent in more standard leagues. Again, I don't think you 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.960 go and cut him and people someone's like, oh Bailey Ober, 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.080 he's solked it. No, don't do that, but like boo 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.439 bitch is Definitely I was very impressed with the start, 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.920 and I think I would I would all yeah, twenty 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:35.719 one percent. There you go. 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.480 All right, Brick. As a question, what's the leading off schedule, 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:40.359 I'll tell you what the leading off schedule is.
