Speaker 1: Hello everybody, Welcome into the cycle part three for the week,
Speaker 1: I am Ryan Warmley, joined as always by Mike may Or.
Speaker 2: We are talking pitching.
Speaker 1: Streamers and of course doing our two start pitcher competition. Mayor,
Speaker 1: why don't you kick us off and run through your
Speaker 1: streamers for the upcoming week.
Speaker 3: Sure, let's kick it off, go day by day and
Speaker 3: I will mention this week. I wrote the names down
Speaker 3: in the sheet. You know I don't want any Last
Speaker 3: week we kind of did it live. I got some
Speaker 3: some hateful comments about that. You know, you and I
Speaker 3: have talked about it in the past where I kind
Speaker 3: of like to do it live and do a gut
Speaker 3: check with the Fantasy Pro streaming tool. You prefer to
Speaker 3: have names in the sheet and the YouTube comments agreed
Speaker 3: with you because I made a mistake and I got
Speaker 3: a lot of hate for it.
Speaker 2: I always do.
Speaker 3: I got a lot of hate for it in the comments.
Speaker 3: Gosh forbid you mess up? You know you could you
Speaker 3: mistake Tosh Bradley for Shane Bass? Who could ever forgive you?
Speaker 3: But all right, let's get into it. So Monday, looking
Speaker 3: at our streaming's tool, I went with Eric Fetti, who
Speaker 3: is at the Pirates who was one of you know,
Speaker 3: they are one of the top five teams to stream
Speaker 3: a pitcher against right now. Some of the other that
Speaker 3: was to me the clear options. Some of the other
Speaker 3: options were Max Scherzer. But he's coming off the IL
Speaker 3: and potentially facing the Yankees. I want an interest in that.
Speaker 3: Michael Waka against the Mariners is the name that can
Speaker 3: I thought about, But he's likely rostered in your league.
Speaker 3: You know, he's only like fifty percent consensus rostered, but
Speaker 3: there's a chance if you're in an active competitive league,
Speaker 3: he's probably already roster. He's been pitching pretty well. And
Speaker 3: Ryan Nelson is a name we just talked about in
Speaker 3: our previous segments as a deep league target, but he's
Speaker 3: got the Giants. I don't really love streaming him. Eric
Speaker 3: Fetty's where I landed, however, I know we normally do
Speaker 3: day by day here, but a pitcher, I'm going to
Speaker 3: mention in a little bit, what about Chase Burns if
Speaker 3: he's still available in your league, which is possible based
Speaker 3: on you know, when he had to be picked up,
Speaker 3: and you know, like I mentioned in our previous video
Speaker 3: when we talked about waivers and pickups in NFBC leagues,
Speaker 3: and you know, there are certain leagues where depending on
Speaker 3: you know, like Chase Burns is still available in a
Speaker 3: lot of leagues because of when he was called up
Speaker 3: and because he needs to kind of like make an
Speaker 3: appearance to be available. Would you stream Chase Burns at
Speaker 3: the Red Sox. Yes. Would you pick him over Eric
Speaker 3: Fetti against the Pirates?
Speaker 1: It would depend on the matchup, because I think, you know,
Speaker 1: just making your second career start, like inherently there's more
Speaker 1: risk there. And obviously the Pirates are such a great
Speaker 1: matchup for Fetti. But if I'm in a situation where
Speaker 1: I'm like I kind of need to swing for a
Speaker 1: really good start here, I would rather start Burns. And honestly,
Speaker 1: as I'm talking through it, I might just say him
Speaker 1: in any league, I might just say it rather Burns.
Speaker 2: I think I'm yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 3: I think I would do Burns in pretty much every
Speaker 3: league over Fetty.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, yeah, I like kind of
Speaker 1: talked out of myself, talk myself out of that logic
Speaker 1: as I was going, like, I would just say Burns.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went with Fetty just because it's more likely
Speaker 3: that Burns is rostered in your league. Yes. The other
Speaker 3: thing with Burns against the Red Sox as well, like
Speaker 3: they do have kind of this inconsistent offense that can
Speaker 3: explode and then go quiet. They are pretty quietly, like
Speaker 3: the third worst team in terms of strikeouts, and so
Speaker 3: he could rack up a bunch of strikeouts against the
Speaker 3: Red Sox On Tuesday, I went with Edward Cabrera, another name.
Speaker 3: We talked about it in our previous video. Go back
Speaker 3: and watch it. But I have Edward. Edward Cabrera against
Speaker 3: the Twins is where I landed. I looked at some
Speaker 3: other names that are available, Gavin Williams against the Cubs,
Speaker 3: not touching that. Jeffrey Springs against the Rays is an
Speaker 3: am I considered.
Speaker 2: But you know that's he was bad today.
Speaker 3: He was bad today. Yeah, don't comments. I didn't. I
Speaker 3: didn't see his stats today. I was doing it.
Speaker 1: No, No, that's fine.
Speaker 2: He he was pitching while we were taping this.
Speaker 1: But I only noticed this because I have him facing
Speaker 1: you and that dynasty head to head league, and he.
Speaker 2: Got me negative one point four points.
Speaker 3: That forma excellent excellent for.
Speaker 1: But it's because he got the loss. I mean, it
Speaker 1: wasn't a good start from him. Regardless, he was three
Speaker 1: earned runs in five innings, so like, not great, but
Speaker 1: the loss really hurt.
Speaker 2: In points format.
Speaker 3: He's been wildly inconsistent this year.
Speaker 1: Two.
Speaker 3: He started off and he's stunk, and then he got hot,
Speaker 3: and then he's been kind of inconsistent. So that's another
Speaker 3: reason I wanted to stay away from him. Also, like
Speaker 3: against the Rays, who have been hot in Tampa, that
Speaker 3: teen tiny ballpark, I stayed away from it. Hayden Birdsong
Speaker 3: against the Diamondbacks is another one I considered, but you know,
Speaker 3: Diamondbox is the hot offense, So yeah, I landed on
Speaker 3: Edward Cabrera against the Twins. Some other names if you
Speaker 3: want to, if they're available, Culton, Gordon against the Rockies.
Speaker 3: It's at Colorado, but that's not as scary as it
Speaker 3: used to be. Although their offense is kind of picking
Speaker 3: up a little bit, it's still bottom five according to
Speaker 3: the tool. And ooh, your boy, Charlie Morton at the Rangers.
Speaker 3: Are you streaming Charlie Mooreton? Uh?
Speaker 1: He didn't look great against the Rangers a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago, So.
Speaker 3: Facing the second time, I.
Speaker 2: Think I think I would I think I would stream
Speaker 2: Morton over Cabrera.
Speaker 3: Actually, okay, the Carbrera is ranked higher, but Morton is
Speaker 3: technically going up against their worst offense. According to this
Speaker 3: Onto Wednesday, I went with Brian Bao against the Reds. Right.
Speaker 3: Bo has been pitching really well lately, just you know,
Speaker 3: it seems like when he faced the Yankees a few
Speaker 3: starts ago it really unlocked something. And he's got a
Speaker 3: few quality starts in a row and running hot. The
Speaker 3: he's facing the Reds at home, So I mean not
Speaker 3: that it's not the Fenway Park is a much better
Speaker 3: pitcher park than a great American small park in Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: but it is not as bad, you know, as long
Speaker 3: as you can live with some of the damage there.
Speaker 3: But down to a three point three one ERA and
Speaker 3: fifty one strikeouts and sixty five and a third innings,
Speaker 3: he like a little bit higher there, but he has
Speaker 3: been pitching really well, and so someone who's still available
Speaker 3: in eighty percent of leagues, I like him some of
Speaker 3: the other options. Will Warren was at the top of
Speaker 3: the tool, but I didn't. He's facing he's been pitching,
Speaker 3: he's been kind of on a heater himself, and he's
Speaker 3: got ninety six strikeouts and seventy five and third innings.
Speaker 3: But he's got the blue Jays. I have almost no
Speaker 3: interest against streaming anyone against the Blue Jays. Land the
Speaker 3: group against the Diamondbacks I didn't want to do. And
Speaker 3: then the other one I considered is Noah Cameron against
Speaker 3: the Mariners. That was kind of been triaguing to me
Speaker 3: any interest in any of those.
Speaker 1: Cameron, I like what we've seen from him.
Speaker 3: What day was this?
Speaker 2: He said, Wednesday?
Speaker 3: This is Wednesday, This is Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I kind of yeah, maybe him. I
Speaker 1: think it's a lot of like okay options, not like
Speaker 1: rushing out to definitely do him, but not bad either,
Speaker 1: just kind of like that seems like a few different
Speaker 1: okay options.
Speaker 3: Yeah. For Bayo, four quality starts in a row, including
Speaker 3: six strikeouts in his last outing and two outings a go,
Speaker 3: seven shoutout innings, eight strikeouts against the Yankees. So he's
Speaker 3: heating up, as they would say in NBA JAM. Yeah, Thursday,
Speaker 3: small slate day. I went with Dustin May against the
Speaker 3: White Sox. Dustin May has had a really weird up
Speaker 3: and down year, which is you know, I expected his
Speaker 3: roster percentage to be higher, but it's not because he's
Speaker 3: just been inconsistent, but a picture that I believe in,
Speaker 3: you know, similar to how I believe in Max Meyers.
Speaker 3: So hopefully it works out better with Dustin May has
Speaker 3: been streaky, but really good matchup against the White Sox,
Speaker 3: and so I am willing to stream him against the
Speaker 3: White Sox. The other name I considered Uri Perez against
Speaker 3: the Twins, but I don't know that I'm necessarily ready
Speaker 3: to take that risk just yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I prefer me for sure.
Speaker 3: All Right, Friday, the day we can almost never find
Speaker 3: a picture for, I went with former Red Sox great
Speaker 3: Quinn Priester against the Marlins in Miami. So bad offense,
Speaker 3: bad ballpark for hitters. He's been pitching very well lately himself,
Speaker 3: And yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: What I like.
Speaker 3: Some of the other names, those two are not going
Speaker 3: to be available in your leagues. The name see every
Speaker 3: week is Justin Erlander not going to do it against
Speaker 3: the Athletics in Sacramento. Yeah, Zac Lttel against the Twins,
Speaker 3: Mike Sroko against the Red Sox. I think for me,
Speaker 3: the top option is clearly Quinn Priester against the Marlins
Speaker 3: in Miami on a day we normally struggle to find
Speaker 3: pictures for no comments of that one. I'll keep moving.
Speaker 3: Then no, all right, I guess I'll keep moving. So
Speaker 3: Saturday is a fun one. I wrote as Saturday, I
Speaker 3: wrote as a potential stay away, as you like to
Speaker 3: say that sometimes the best litererdter streams to not stream
Speaker 3: at all. And uh, oddly enough, one of the best
Speaker 3: options for the day is your boy Tosh Bradley coming
Speaker 3: off sixty.
Speaker 2: He's not my boy sixty, your boy.
Speaker 3: Two shutout innings?
Speaker 1: Are you sure it's Dosh Bradley and not shamed boss
Speaker 1: this time?
Speaker 3: I am sure I recommended him by accident you corrected me.
Speaker 3: But lo and behold, you should have streamed Tosh Bradley
Speaker 3: for his six and two thirds shutout innings, and this
Speaker 3: time he gets the Twins. So I really hope the
Speaker 3: Twins don't have a good offensive week. Yeah, it seems
Speaker 3: like I'm targeting the Twins a lot, but I really
Speaker 3: have it as more of a stay away. So I
Speaker 3: kind of put Tosh Bradley in there as you know,
Speaker 3: breaking case of emergency, if you really need to stream someone,
Speaker 3: that would be my pick, because one of the other
Speaker 3: options I would have said is Jamison ty Own, but
Speaker 3: he coming off a clunker and he's got the the
Speaker 3: Cardinals again, so I don't want any part of that.
Speaker 3: Michael Walker against the Diamondbacks, everything in in that, and
Speaker 3: so yeah, it's probably a stay away day. You could.
Speaker 3: I thought for a little bit about Chad Patrick against
Speaker 3: the Marlins, but I don't know that I really trust
Speaker 3: that for a streaming option. So it's probably more of
Speaker 3: a stay away from me on a Saturday this week
Speaker 3: and then last but not least, Sunday. Reees Slsen is
Speaker 3: potentially returning. He's scheduled to return. He gets the Guardians,
Speaker 3: who are somewhat surprisingly a bottom five offense right now
Speaker 3: for Fantasy, And if he's available, he's around fifty percent
Speaker 3: consensus rostered, so he may or may not be available
Speaker 3: in your leagues. Check your league settings. But he's coming
Speaker 3: back from injury, so if someone couldn't stash him on
Speaker 3: the IR, he's probably available and you can pick him
Speaker 3: up before he comes back. So he's probably the top
Speaker 3: option is you know, I don't love starting someone right
Speaker 3: off the IL, but he's probably you know, even if
Speaker 3: you just grab him to dash, he's not a bad option.
Speaker 3: The other option I wrote, here is Edward Cabrera who
Speaker 3: gets the Brewers. With the kind of added bonus here
Speaker 3: is if you're in a weekly league and you wanted
Speaker 3: to stream Cabrera against the Twins on Tuesday, you could
Speaker 3: get the two step from him and get him on
Speaker 3: Tuesday versus the Twins, and then on Sunday against the Brewers,
Speaker 3: which was, you know, two not terrible matchups, and so
Speaker 3: Edward Cabrera might be the streamer of the week.
Speaker 2: Any honorable mentions for you.
Speaker 3: No honorable mentions. It's kind of a gross scale unless
Speaker 3: you wanted to do. I mean, I won't spoil my
Speaker 3: two week picture, but you know, unless you wanted to
Speaker 3: stream my two star pitcher.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get into our two star picture competition. You
Speaker 1: use that segue here as a reminder. We did not
Speaker 1: have a week ten contest because both of our pictures
Speaker 1: ended up only pitching one start. So we have not
Speaker 1: yet gotten to the results of week eleven. We'll see
Speaker 1: how that goes. So even though we are on week
Speaker 1: twelve now, the current standings are only nine completed contests
Speaker 1: in it's.
Speaker 2: Still five to four.
Speaker 1: Mayor. Because I am still down, I had to break
Speaker 1: out the big guns and roll with Garrett Crochet facing
Speaker 1: the Reds and then the Nationals, two teams that have
Speaker 1: not been very good against lefties too, you know, not
Speaker 1: crazy scary lineups in general, particularly the Nationals. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I hadn't used him yet, and I figured it was
Speaker 1: about time because he's really good and has good matchups
Speaker 1: this week. So I finally finally broke out Crochet and
Speaker 1: you are going with somebody? Are they facing each other?
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't look ahead at the schedule to see if
Speaker 1: they're If they're both two star pitchers, they must be
Speaker 1: close to facing each.
Speaker 2: Other, because you're you're a pitcher. They are wout ruin
Speaker 2: who yours is?
Speaker 3: They face each other on Monday. So I am going
Speaker 3: with Chase Burns. Who a fun one. Chase Burns Garrett Crochet,
Speaker 3: That's a fun matchup. May Yeah, I'm taking the risk
Speaker 3: here because I'm going with a very young pitcher. But
Speaker 3: he's got you know, he just looks so good. I
Speaker 3: wanted to use him. I didn't really love a lot
Speaker 3: of the other options, at least in terms of pitchers
Speaker 3: I hadn't used yet, and so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say there were some good
Speaker 1: options this week, but it was a lot of guys
Speaker 1: I had already used also.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so I decided to go with Chase Burns,
Speaker 3: even though the matchups aren't the best. It's at Boston
Speaker 3: at Philly, so against two pretty good offenses, and on
Speaker 3: the road against those two offenses. Although as I as
Speaker 3: I just said, the Red Sox are somewhat quietly like
Speaker 3: one of the best teams to for pitchers in terms
Speaker 3: of strikeouts, their top three in terms of strikeout rate,
Speaker 3: So we could see him strike out double digit guys
Speaker 3: against the Red Sox on Monday. That'll be a fun
Speaker 3: matchup and we'll be able to see the go ahead
Speaker 3: to head.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is going to be fun. That'll be a
Speaker 2: must watch.
Speaker 1: If we were doing weekday excitement, that would be our
Speaker 1: Monday excitement for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But yeah, we'll go ahead and wrap up there.
Speaker 1: Unless you have anything else you wanted to toss in
Speaker 1: here before we get out of here, No, that's it
Speaker 1: for me, all right.
Speaker 2: We will go ahead and wrap up.
