Speaker 2: League Baseball in twenty twenty four. So many injuries, but
Speaker 2: here we are regardless, we made it healthy to the
Speaker 2: end of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Almost healthy. Yeah, like a little bit down. I've been
Speaker 1: sick for two weeks. Yeah yeah, exactly what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? But yeah, hey, major, major hat tip to
Speaker 1: Joe Rico and Casey Bubba for rocking it out at
Speaker 1: the end of the year not missing a beat as well.
Speaker 1: They absolutely deserve it. Had we had the time, it
Speaker 1: probably would have been nice to have like a nice
Speaker 1: little quad box or something that we all could have done.
Speaker 1: But hey, man, where we started my first full year.
Speaker 1: I know, I've been like three years now, and leading
Speaker 1: off my first full year of being full time with
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros, we killed it. We just destroid numbers. I
Speaker 1: don't people don't care about that. But we had an
Speaker 1: amazing baseball season. Yeah I know, I mean like we care,
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, like everybody I can care about that.

Speaker 1: watch videos, that's hung in the chat, all that great stuff,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have some fun. It's good to have
Speaker 1: both of you and I back because we're gonna be
Speaker 1: back doing more stuff in the off season, so be
Speaker 1: on the lookout for that and I said it. I
Speaker 1: think I said on the show on Monday, like make

Speaker 1: fun Joey seeing that video to that eightiesme video by
Speaker 1: the ways, like it.
Speaker 2: Just warms my heart so good. Our best calls are
Speaker 2: worst calls. And also we're gonna be talking about the
Speaker 2: plan because this is not it. It's not over. Because

Speaker 2: everybody out here who supported the channel all year, we're
Speaker 2: gonna be doing more offseason stuff. We have some specials
Speaker 2: lined up for you. We have a whole meeting actually
Speaker 2: next week about some of the fun ideas we have
Speaker 2: and things we want to do for the baseball community
Speaker 2: out there, and of course before you know it, it'll
Speaker 2: be all over again. I mean, if we'll be back
Speaker 2: here in January doing stuff, and I know I'll be
Speaker 2: working on the Black Book Cup November. So that's it's
Speaker 2: coming up, prety seal, probably more like October.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was about to say in about three days.
Speaker 1: You're going to be working on it in about ten days. Also,
Speaker 1: if you guys care about it, especially from the Dynasty perspective.
Speaker 1: The Arizona Fall League is starting up, and I live
Speaker 1: out here in Arizona, I'll be covering it. We have
Speaker 1: major leaguers Edwin in carnassium Strand is going to be
Speaker 1: playing in the Arizona Fall League. Sam Bachman of a
Speaker 1: top ten pick in this year's MLB draft, Jack Kaglione
Speaker 1: is going to be playing in the Arizona Fall League,
Speaker 1: some other big top prospects. So Bizana gonna be there,
Speaker 1: and Bazana is not kagli out. Actually Condon was supposed
Speaker 1: to I heard, but Kaglione is the only one that's
Speaker 1: going to be playing from the drag Jass.
Speaker 2: I like Jack Caglion, you know, I'm a fan, but.
Speaker 1: We're gonna I'm gonna get to break that down, hopefully
Speaker 1: get some interviews. So that's going to be part of
Speaker 1: all of that coverage. And yes, by the way, I
Speaker 1: talked with Donnie yesterday. Donnie's going to come out to
Speaker 1: some AFL games, so we'll do Connoli's in the park.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to teach him about baseball, how it works, you.
Speaker 1: Know, you want to know something. Yeah, I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: a hat tip to Donnie. We're gonna try to do
Speaker 1: some fun stuff on the show. Today. We were talking
Speaker 1: on the phone and he goes, he goes, well she
Speaker 1: He's like, he didn't get on the home run board.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know, I kind of failed. I should
Speaker 1: have gotten some big name. I didn't want to say
Speaker 1: a baseball player's name because Donnie's not biggest into the sport.
Speaker 1: He loves hanging with everybody. I'm like, I should have
Speaker 1: picked good players to have my home runs in perpetuity.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, you should have picked show. Hey O Toanni,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Donnie, Donnie knows baseball. That's a
Speaker 1: new series. Donnie knows baseball now, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: I am still Now I don't know what the latest
Speaker 2: leader board is. This is the last one I see,
Speaker 2: And I picked on Soda because I want to be
Speaker 2: too much of a jerk going and picking you know,
Speaker 2: the Aaron Judge or whatever, so or otani. So I
Speaker 2: picked soda.
Speaker 1: That was the Monday Joey p Yeah, still.
Speaker 2: On here from the Monday board. This one in my
Speaker 2: heart now. It's nice to see Wonky Penguin breaking fifty.
Speaker 2: I did not hit fifty home runs this year. I
Speaker 2: kind of like that when you look at the board
Speaker 2: at the end of the year, it feels like an
Speaker 2: actual home run board, like if you hit sixty home runs,
Speaker 2: like you crushed it, like that was an amazing year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: forty two, I think it was a respectable year for
Speaker 2: home runs. So I am in that.
Speaker 1: Thirty five is pretty good too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty five? Is that where you are here at
Speaker 2: thirty five?
Speaker 1: Thirty five, thirty seven?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm one of the things I love though.
Speaker 2: When the clinching happened for the Baltimore Orioles, I did
Speaker 2: see the very funny Jackson Holiday thing too with his
Speaker 2: baby's first clinch Miss so Jackson Holiday friend of the show.
Speaker 2: Nice to see him rebound after a very rock I
Speaker 2: mean one of the worst debuts followed by a very
Speaker 2: respectable return. Patients, It's a long season, Patients with Corbyn Carroll,
Speaker 2: who is about as terrible as a first half player
Speaker 2: as you can imagine. And well, she tells me he's
Speaker 2: up to Where are we.
Speaker 1: At w twenty one and thirty two or thirty three
Speaker 1: stolen bases and the fifth most runs in baseball. Think
Speaker 1: about this, The guys ahead of him are all hitting
Speaker 1: two eighty or higher. The superstars of the league Sho
Speaker 1: Hee O Tani won thirty one, Soto won twenty eight,
Speaker 1: Bobby Wit one twenty four, Aaron Judge one twenty two,
Speaker 1: two thirty two batting average, Corbin Carroll with one hundred
Speaker 1: and nineteen runs. He has more runs than Gunner Henderson.
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty wild.
Speaker 2: That is pretty wild. Also, I have to say too,
Speaker 2: I know people have been saying Joe should apologize to
Speaker 2: Garret Cole. Fine, I mean, I'm making good television here.
Speaker 2: There was reasons to be concerned happy Garrett Cole stayed healthy.
Speaker 2: I never wanted him to be hurt. I was just
Speaker 2: worried about it. So that's all sure. So well, let's
Speaker 2: talk about the wildcard races here, because as a Mets fan,
Speaker 2: I have been mildly following because I always know it's
Speaker 2: gonna end poorly, and I feel like things are set
Speaker 2: up to end not just poorly, but soul crushing, and
Speaker 2: that is the quintessential Mets finish to the season. I
Speaker 2: know the game's got postponed and now you're gonna have
Speaker 2: a double header against the Braves, the team that always
Speaker 2: sticks the knife in the Met's heart over the last
Speaker 2: twenty something years. So I feel like we're setting everything
Speaker 2: up for a complete Nutter disaster here on Monday. But
Speaker 2: for those people like break it all down the American League,
Speaker 2: National League, where we're at with everything, But I just
Speaker 2: feel like I can't watch, Like I can't possibly fathom
Speaker 2: how miserable it's going to be where they're gonna be.
Speaker 2: The Braves are gonna get in, the Diamondbacks are gonna
Speaker 2: get in, and the Mets are gonna be on the outside.
Speaker 2: You just know what's gonna happen. And even if they
Speaker 2: get in, they're probably gonna have to play those games,
Speaker 2: which means that like they're gonna go into the wildcard
Speaker 2: there that next day with just a hot mess.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the hot mess, definitely. It's funny. I
Speaker 1: did a hit on CBS Sports each Q and one
Speaker 1: of the guys that asked me and he was just like,
Speaker 1: if the Braves get in, will this be because of
Speaker 1: the diamond Will this be because of the Mets or
Speaker 1: will this be because of the Diamondbacks? And I instantly
Speaker 1: was like, it'll be because of a Diamondbacks collapse. So
Speaker 1: the NL situation is the most exciting because I'll just
Speaker 1: gloss over the al. It's essentially done. Minnesota completely dropped
Speaker 1: the ball. They went up against the Marlins and I
Speaker 1: think they've lost two of their last three. The Marlins
Speaker 1: and Mariners are three games out, so if Detroit or
Speaker 1: Kansas City win one more, it's locked they're in. Otherwise
Speaker 1: it would just be so much. Can we talk about
Speaker 1: the Detroit Tigers, Like what best era? I think it
Speaker 1: was number one era in baseball since like August first
Speaker 1: had an incredible bullpen, Terry Skubel and then all those
Speaker 1: young dudes. This awesome story. I know sport has got
Speaker 1: to be through the moon right now about that, but
Speaker 1: the like, it's done essentially unless some crazy crazy thing happens,
Speaker 1: and you know, the Mariners are twins. I mean, essentially again,
Speaker 1: Tigers are Royals. Win, it's done, it's over. But funny enough,
Speaker 1: the Royals are going up against the Braves. So that's
Speaker 1: the other real sticky thing here is that Brave series
Speaker 1: was pushed if the Diamondbacks going to the NL. The
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks lose out this weekend and you get the Mets
Speaker 1: and the Braves pull some of these games in. The
Speaker 1: Mets have got the Brewers and the Braves have got
Speaker 1: the Royals. There's a chance that Monday could happen and
Speaker 1: the Dinebacks are eliminated three games against the Padres. They
Speaker 1: are let me, I just had it up here. Da
Speaker 1: da da da. They are tied with the Mets right
Speaker 1: now and the Braves are one game back. And then
Speaker 1: there's some rumor that like the commissioner could possibly even
Speaker 1: not worry about this game and seeding if weird things happen.
Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a wild NL weekend seeing
Speaker 1: what happens, because I think the Braves are in a
Speaker 1: good situation. Their bullpen has been pitching has been incredible,
Speaker 1: The Mets have been pretty red hot, and the Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: are stinking it up and they got the Padres. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I'll be at Sunday's game, Joe, I'll
Speaker 1: be at the final down the box game of the season,
Speaker 1: which might better mean nothing or might mean absolutely everything.
Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you this. I mean when you
Speaker 2: look at the standings too, which is astounding to me
Speaker 2: that Tampa despite all of the injuries and issues that
Speaker 2: they've had all year, right and then constantly waiting for
Speaker 2: Wander to be seventy eight and eighty one at the
Speaker 2: end of the day. It's it's like you just feel
Speaker 2: like next year they're just gonna be leaping right back
Speaker 2: into things, right McClanahan, healthy springs, healthy, the way Todd
Speaker 2: Bradley pitched this year, Like all of a sudden, you're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: guess what. The Rays are going to be a problem
Speaker 2: next year. The the Troy Tigers not trading schoobl hanging
Speaker 2: on to him and going for it. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: just astounding to see them seventy four.
Speaker 1: I forgot there was that trade rumor of Schooble that's
Speaker 1: a deadline because.
Speaker 2: They googled at the deadline. Was one of those things
Speaker 2: that you thought was going like like, look, they could
Speaker 2: get the Hall here for schoobl and and to their credit,
Speaker 2: they're like, no, you know what, We're gonna try to
Speaker 2: be competitive. And it's great because look, I'm a child
Speaker 2: of the eighties where the Tigers and the Royals were
Speaker 2: always really good, and the Tigers and the Royals are
Speaker 2: relevant again, and it's just really nice to see that.
Speaker 2: Just looking at the standing, seeing the Ashers at the top,
Speaker 2: no surprise there. Astros Phillies was my world series. Baltimore
Speaker 2: Philly was my second choice, and the Astros being that
Speaker 2: team that, yeah, the veteran team just flips the switch
Speaker 2: and knows what to do. I did see, by the way,
Speaker 2: looking at the Mariners at eighty two and seventy seven,
Speaker 2: that this is what the third straight year of Julio
Speaker 2: Rodriguez being up at twenty twenty, which I mean, if
Speaker 2: we could just get lineup protection, if we could just
Speaker 2: get somebody to help this kid out, my god, that
Speaker 2: would be great. Let's talk about the a's too. A
Speaker 2: lot of people have been out of shape about the
Speaker 2: A's and all that situation. There any thoughts there, as
Speaker 2: you know, kind of things come to a close for
Speaker 2: Oakland basically Oakland and sports. Let's be honest, like that's
Speaker 2: the last one hanging on in that region period.
Speaker 1: Personally, Actually, it kind of does, because that's where I
Speaker 1: grew up and that was my family's love. My grandfather
Speaker 1: one thing that we shared was he loved the Raiders
Speaker 1: and he loved the A's And I've been to that stadium.
Speaker 1: I remember having great seats in that stadium. I remember
Speaker 1: sitting in some garbage spots in it. So yeah, it's
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of sad, but also at the
Speaker 1: same time, it's like, I don't know, you see like
Speaker 1: management and stuff, they're embarrassing for everything they did, but
Speaker 1: then you like see that stadium absolutely packed at the end,
Speaker 1: and it's just like, you know, we could have been
Speaker 1: doing this the whole time, Like you don't need to
Speaker 1: just support them because it's the last game. So I
Speaker 1: think all around, it's pretty bad, especially as the A's
Speaker 1: were starting to compile and put together a product of
Speaker 1: like you know, they got a star closer in Mason Miller.
Speaker 1: They've done an incredible job developing these hitters. Brent, like
Speaker 1: Brent Rooker is a wild guy to figure out because
Speaker 1: from a number standpoint, like he's like a top twenty
Speaker 1: five guy. It's just hard to kind of buy into it.
Speaker 1: Lawrence Butler, his overall production looks like he is a
Speaker 1: top fifty player next year. They just don't have the pitching,
Speaker 1: and it looks like they're pitching. This is like the
Speaker 1: formula a lot of these teams. It's like really good, young,
Speaker 1: controllable bats, and then a team that spends money would
Speaker 1: then go into this is the old Met the old
Speaker 1: old Mets thing where it was like, you spend on
Speaker 1: the pitching and you develop young hitting. They've got that.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, when are they going to They're
Speaker 1: gonna be Sacramento for like two years, So it's weird.
Speaker 1: I think it's sad. I think it's sad when any
Speaker 1: team goes away. I guess I'm nostalgic towards that and
Speaker 1: just personally because I have been in that stadium and stuff.
Speaker 1: But I also hate the ID.
Speaker 2: My youth were those Bash brother teams that were dominant. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: you know the Conseco's and mcguires and all that, Like
Speaker 2: the A's were. The A's could have been a dynasty
Speaker 2: if they could have just gotten past the Dodgers, you know,
Speaker 2: but like they just that that, you know, really crushed
Speaker 2: them and then they just never lived up to the
Speaker 2: hype after that. They dominated in the regular season, but
Speaker 2: you know, really, when you think about it, you know,
Speaker 2: they they lost to the Reds. They you know, they
Speaker 2: lost to the Diamondbacks. I mean not the Backs. They
Speaker 2: lost to the Reds. They beat the San Francisco Giants
Speaker 2: and they lost to the Dodgers, and you know, it's
Speaker 2: kind of like what could have been for those teams
Speaker 2: when you think about it.
Speaker 1: One thing I hate, by the way, asking is Sacramento
Speaker 1: Hitters Park. Yeah, that's a PCL park, so it is.
Speaker 1: It is a hitter friendly environment.
Speaker 2: Which would be fun. I mean, that's gonna be fun
Speaker 2: for the offensive.
Speaker 1: Numbers of the hitters. Anyway, what I don't like is
Speaker 1: this whole like, you know what we should do. We
Speaker 1: should do an expansion team in Oakland, and it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, like, just like you just got
Speaker 1: them out of there, like save the A's, then save
Speaker 1: the A's and do a give a place like Vegas
Speaker 1: or wherever you're gonna put a new baseball team, give
Speaker 1: them something, originals, just give them the old of a
Speaker 1: team because that just like stinks and lingers throughout time.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, it's that also we had
Speaker 1: like our we had friends, like you know, was there
Speaker 1: covering it and stuff like that. It's just you know,
Speaker 1: end of season magical baseball stuff.
Speaker 2: Fun question here from Michael Wainwright. It's nice to see
Speaker 2: you guys finish off together. Yes, thank you for that, Michael.
Speaker 2: How did you guys do in your leagues? Well, in
Speaker 2: my home league, my most important league, I was still
Speaker 2: in a rebuild after being in the playoffs six straight years.
Speaker 2: I tore everything down and this was a two year plan.
Speaker 2: This was year two of the two year plan, and
Speaker 2: I almost still made the playof in that fifteen team league.
Speaker 2: I missed it actually on a tiebreaker despite the tear down.
Speaker 2: But next year, Welsh, I've got a Kunya Tatis, Elie
Speaker 2: de la Cruz and uh, I've got dollar pictures of McClanahan,
Speaker 2: Urie Perez and Sandy Alcntra. So I'm going to be
Speaker 2: a problem in that league for the next five years. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's pretty It's gonna be one of those teams where
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, let's go. I got to make some
Speaker 2: hard decisions like I got Ventos at two Bucks? Do
Speaker 2: I want to keep him? Like, oh, it's kind of
Speaker 2: hard not.
Speaker 1: To want to keep him, but I want to keep him.
Speaker 2: But I think so. But it's like, do you keep
Speaker 2: him or Wander Franco? Like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got like Frank, Wonder Franco. Yeah, no, you don't
Speaker 1: keep wander Franco.
Speaker 2: No, wonder Frank, I mean Wonder Franco. Well, I meant,
Speaker 2: my god, this is the problem here. Can I say
Speaker 2: Wonder Franco.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm like, Joe, you don't you correct me?
Speaker 2: I tried to.
Speaker 1: I was so thrown off.
Speaker 2: Who I mean, I can't even No, No, Tampa in
Speaker 2: Tampa are prospect that we were waiting for.
Speaker 1: Oh, Junior Cameron, Junior Caminara.
Speaker 2: Caminaro. Junior Caminaro is what we were waiting for all year.
Speaker 2: So Junior Cavinaro. This is the problem, folks. I haven't
Speaker 2: touched discussing baseball in two months, and I say things
Speaker 2: like wonder Frank Coup.
Speaker 1: Well guess what two months? The outcome is still the
Speaker 1: same with Wander Franco. Right now, I can still yeah, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Junior Caminaro. That's the other guy that I have
Speaker 2: keeping there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like I was heavily invested in Keeper my
Speaker 1: brain toast Keeper leagues and NFBC. I mean, I will
Speaker 1: admit that the Carrol stuff killed me. Injuries killed me
Speaker 1: this year across the board. You know the thing I'm
Speaker 1: gonna attack everybody, Yeah, well the thing I need, I
Speaker 1: think I need to tackle because I had some like
Speaker 1: especially in the NFBC stuff, I had some really good
Speaker 1: hits on, Like I had schemes in a couple spots.
Speaker 1: Jared Jones was this huge git for me, but I
Speaker 1: got smacked with injuries that I didn't do a good
Speaker 1: enough job in the depth portion of a lot of leagues.
Speaker 1: And the same thing happened in Dynasty. I had Dynasty
Speaker 1: Mike Trout, Ronald Acunya, Fernando Tatis, like they just really
Speaker 1: killed me in some spots that I was really really heavy.
Speaker 1: So it was okay. I would say it was a
Speaker 1: much better analysis year for me than like Takedown, even
Speaker 1: though I had an NFBC which was like Ellie and
Speaker 1: Carol and it's like, God if Carol had been like
Speaker 1: on top of it, having hint only a cruise. That
Speaker 1: was like a really fun one. So it was okay,
Speaker 1: it was decent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's say it was a rough year for injuries,
Speaker 2: which is again why it's so important to hit things right.
Speaker 2: Let's go to some of the standouts in the season too.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, Showeyotani, I think that was I mean,
Speaker 2: that's he's the greatest baseball player I've ever seen. I
Speaker 2: think he's the greatest baseball player ever. I don't think
Speaker 2: that's up for debate anymore, because you could talk about
Speaker 2: Babe Ruth and you know, hitting more home runs and
Speaker 2: entire teams like that's a if you drop Showey Altani
Speaker 2: in that era, he is going to dominate too. Nobody
Speaker 2: has pitched the way Showy Altani and hit the way
Speaker 2: show a TONI has. And now steeles bases like shoeheo Tom.
Speaker 1: Like dropping the terminator into like normal land.
Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable. Fifty three homers, fifty six steals.
Speaker 1: The guy's going to fifty five to fifty five right
Speaker 1: now is the chase. But you know what, let me
Speaker 1: let me ask you this though, because you say there's
Speaker 1: no discussion, there has been. The Braves community can't get
Speaker 1: over themselves. Not everybody, but there's a secta that's like,
Speaker 1: by the way, Akunya was forty seventy last year, I don't.
Speaker 2: Care does he pitch? I know, has he thrown ninety
Speaker 2: an hour?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I mean Cony is a great player.
Speaker 2: We are blessed with all these great players. Judge at
Speaker 2: the top of the home run board of fifty eight
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty four rbi. To imagine, here were
Speaker 2: the season two, one hundred and four rbi for him,
Speaker 2: one twenty six for Otani, one fifteen for Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 2: Another guy that never gets enough credit. Dude, that's another
Speaker 2: guy too. He's having basically a forty forty season and
Speaker 2: gets no credit every single year Welsh and it pisses.
Speaker 1: Me right, I think it might be the most underrated
Speaker 1: of all the fantasy years. Like Bobby Witt is a unicorn,
Speaker 1: Judges the guy Otan. All of this stuff is so
Speaker 1: amazing with Ellie and everything, but Jose Ramirez is legit
Speaker 1: on the doorsteps of a forty forty season. It's unreal.
Speaker 1: And in just a couple of minutes we're gonna do
Speaker 1: just an early little fun first round for twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: and Jose Ramirez belongs at the tippy top. Really, he
Speaker 1: really truly does an unreal season that he keeps having
Speaker 1: year after year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, continuing on here, looking at some of the leaders,
Speaker 2: obviously stolen bases. Elie Dela Cruz up at the top
Speaker 2: at sixty five, player that we love. Look, if I
Speaker 2: told you at the beginning of the year he did
Speaker 2: twenty five home runs, steal sixty five bases, hit two
Speaker 2: sixty I think we'd all sign up for that, right.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, we'll sign up. Isn't a question. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this stunning. I think I was wrong on the
Speaker 1: I thought the power might be more of a question
Speaker 1: with Ellie with the batting average, so like, you know,
Speaker 1: the whole like ONEO Ellie stuff. I always thought it
Speaker 1: was heavily stolen bases in Ellie, but I thought the
Speaker 1: power would go in Onell Cruz and lo and behold,
Speaker 1: Ellie is a more prolific power hitter. Because even though
Speaker 1: Onell Cruiz but and this is the shock, I still
Speaker 1: can't get over ONEO Cruz. If you would have told
Speaker 1: me preseason he's gonna hit close to two seventy, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you he's hitting thirty five homers. So that's
Speaker 1: the shock that, like Ellie became a better hitter. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: oneel became a better hitter, but then the power just
Speaker 1: didn't really develop where Elliott just all came together. Ellie's
Speaker 1: a superstar.
Speaker 2: He is a superstar. He got caught seiling sixteen times.
Speaker 2: And I think we'll take back considering how aggressive and
Speaker 2: a three forty two OBP Like that's the thing to me, Like,
Speaker 2: you know, that's what you worry about all the strikeouts
Speaker 2: with other other cruise. But he certainly got there. Amazing.
Speaker 2: Also to see more than twenty players with thirty or
Speaker 2: more stolen bases, that is fun batting average leaders. Look,
Speaker 2: it's been Bobby Witt for a while. Good to see
Speaker 2: Vlad Guerrero have a rebound two because my goodness, what
Speaker 2: a miserable first half for him finishing the year though,
Speaker 2: thirty one oh two, three twenty five. What are your
Speaker 2: thoughts on Vladdie here going forward into twenty twenty four?
Speaker 2: Did we finally put that aside? Are we feeling good
Speaker 2: about him? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I thinks I mean he was on the early I
Speaker 1: know we cut them off in like late June or July.
Speaker 1: But you know, Joey and I were grinding putting out
Speaker 1: weekly waiver and trade videos, and Vlad was on that list.
Speaker 1: And he was one of the most obvious one at
Speaker 1: the very beginning because he had this beautiful barrage of
Speaker 1: underlying great stats where he wasn't getting the ball in
Speaker 1: the air and guess what, it was a launch angle thing.
Speaker 1: And then he cured it and he started getting the
Speaker 1: ball in the air. When you barrel and you hit
Speaker 1: the ball really hard and you're making good contact, good
Speaker 1: things will happen. So you know, not to get too taudy,
Speaker 1: because there's plenty of things. As many things that are right,
Speaker 1: there's probably double that are wrong. That's just the nature
Speaker 1: of baseball. That's one that was just a smash and
Speaker 1: it ended up working out, and his value will be
Speaker 1: back up next year. The funny thing is is it
Speaker 1: won't be around like it's always been, Like what about
Speaker 1: Vlad or Alonzo. It's like Vlad's in his own tier now,
Speaker 1: like Olsen and Alonso are going to be fighting for
Speaker 1: that equity of bad average and homers. Now, Vlad is
Speaker 1: in that elite first base territory.
Speaker 2: You were one hundred percent right. Your biggest fade of
Speaker 2: the year going was Luis Aries only four home runs.
Speaker 2: I don't care if you get three twelve forty five
Speaker 2: RBI four home runs. Stick it where the sun don't shine,
Speaker 2: like I'm not interested in that. Let's get to some
Speaker 2: of the pitchers and some of the performances too. Chris
Speaker 2: Sale leaving the league in era at two three eight,
Speaker 2: Scula two three nine, Zach Willer pillar to post has
Speaker 2: been fantastic. We said that showed to Ibanaga was the
Speaker 2: guy to invest in over Yamamoto, and I feel really
Speaker 2: good about that, like sorry, like he got hurt. We
Speaker 2: talked about the frame being a problem, and Imanaga is
Speaker 2: fifteen to three with a two nine one era. Framber
Speaker 2: Valdez and again one of the steadier guys in baseball.
Speaker 2: Another sub three era from him. Cormyn Burns very good,
Speaker 2: great at times, not as great at others. Michael King
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, another guy that we
Speaker 2: were super in on. Seth Lugo and Michael King. Those
Speaker 2: were I think our collective two guys, especially me with
Speaker 2: Seth you.
Speaker 1: Or Seth Lugo, I was I was one of the
Speaker 1: highest and the we were on Michael King.
Speaker 2: We were both on King. I think we were very
Speaker 2: aggressive ranking him. I know in the Black Book it
Speaker 2: was Lugo and King. For me, that were my two, Like, look,
Speaker 2: these are the breakout guys, both guys around three eras.
Speaker 2: Both guys I mean Michael King two hundred strikeouts this year.
Speaker 2: Lugo won seventy eight one h nine whip for Lugo
Speaker 2: this year, a three ERA. Those were guys like Cole
Speaker 2: Reagan's was in that grouping two and he finished just
Speaker 2: a tick. I think below those guys more strikeouts, but
Speaker 2: era a little higher in terms of where we're at.
Speaker 2: Biggest surprises Jack Flaherty and Sean ma and Ia, I
Speaker 2: think there's no doubt about that. Like two guys that
Speaker 2: I don't think any of us thought could possibly put
Speaker 2: up a full season of productivity, and both of them
Speaker 2: absolutely did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was late to the game for Flaerty, but
Speaker 1: I turned. I'd also say back to the Imanaga thing
Speaker 1: real quick. I think I would. I would classify myself
Speaker 1: maybe more in the wrong because I got I got
Speaker 1: into this space where I was just like, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: we need to sell I Managa because he's a two.
Speaker 1: He was becoming a two pitch pitcher, heavy splitter in
Speaker 1: a hitter friendly environment, and I think what is so
Speaker 1: amazing about him is he overcame that and you started
Speaker 1: seeing more of that pitch mix, and he didn't get
Speaker 1: blown up into the summer months. So I would say, like,
Speaker 1: like that was in the that was a mid season wrong.
Speaker 1: Flairty was a mid season wrong kind of on my
Speaker 1: part where Michael King was a big, big hit for me.
Speaker 1: But I would also point out I think maybe the
Speaker 1: most amazing thing finishing up the pitching stuff is that
Speaker 1: there are just absolutely two unanimous sy Young winners. And
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure I fully recall that all the time,
Speaker 1: like Bke Barnett, like Tree Scouble and Chris Sailor are
Speaker 1: gonna win this in droves, and they're both incredible. I
Speaker 1: think someone even put in the chat like it looks
Speaker 1: like they're gonna win like triple crowns as far as
Speaker 1: like pitching cadeah A Rico did it, triple crowns as
Speaker 1: far as pitching go. They're so dominant it's not even funny.
Speaker 1: And that's what's so interesting to have at the tippy
Speaker 1: top of the board as far as pitching goes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking back at the year, that was too. We
Speaker 2: always have to talk about things we were right on,
Speaker 2: things were wrong on Seth Lugo again for me, Jackson Merrill,
Speaker 2: for the Welsh, like nobody was talking about Jackson Merril
Speaker 2: the way Welsh was nobody And to see the season
Speaker 2: he had and to that point too, I was probably
Speaker 2: the most pro Padre person of anyone. And then all
Speaker 2: the injuries happened and Ta Teas got hurt and all
Speaker 2: these things and people were off the Padres. Well, guess what,
Speaker 2: Padres won more than ninety games. I told you they
Speaker 2: were gonna be a problem, and I think in the
Speaker 2: playoffs they might be a problem too. Like that's a
Speaker 2: team to really be concerned with because if they get hot,
Speaker 2: they have a lot of talent and they have pitching.
Speaker 2: That's a dangerous combination if those guys get hot in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So the Phillies better be worried, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: better be worried about the Padres, and I think collectively,
Speaker 2: Jaron Duran, I think our biggest win hit for average,
Speaker 2: hit for power. He was being drafted so late Welsh,
Speaker 2: and that was a guy that you and I were
Speaker 2: holding hands on fighting over in mock drafts, and that
Speaker 2: turned out to be one hundred percent correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I think we did the like our favorite
Speaker 1: our must have guys I think was a video kid
Speaker 1: and Duran was on there for me. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: I think Merrill ended up working out really well, Duran
Speaker 1: ended up working out really well. And then I think,
Speaker 1: like an inverse of it, I think it's pretty safe
Speaker 1: to say, even though it's so weird, but like Carrol
Speaker 1: was a pretty bad miss, Like Carol screwed me in
Speaker 1: leagues because it was so bad in the beginning and
Speaker 1: it worked its way back up funny enough, but I
Speaker 1: don't it's definitely not something that you can't I would ignore.
Speaker 1: Like Carrol was a bad, bad play for the first
Speaker 1: half of the year. Luckily he did fix that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: as good as like Duran and Merrill were, it's funny
Speaker 1: that they're all like outfielders, like those were all kind
Speaker 1: of like the thing we were really able to hone
Speaker 1: in on. But yeah, rookies in general too, Rookies were
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of a miss to start,
Speaker 1: but then at the end of the day, like even
Speaker 1: though Wyatt Langford could have been a miss. He's put
Speaker 1: up a pretty dang good season like fifteen to twenty
Speaker 1: Jackson Curio is a twenty twenty season that has been
Speaker 1: a huge win. And then maybe camon Aro ever getting
Speaker 1: the call up that didn't really.
Speaker 2: Work out and the rookie luckies, No it did not
Speaker 2: cam and Aro by the way.
Speaker 1: Caminaro Junior.
Speaker 2: I don't know kemm and Arrow Junior Caminaro. So there
Speaker 2: you have it. Also, looking ahead to the future, as
Speaker 2: we like to do here, we will be Welsh and I.
Speaker 2: We be working on the Black Book, as we talked about,
Speaker 2: so that'll be out there on Amazon. Usually mid December
Speaker 2: is when that releases before Christmas, so it's the holiday
Speaker 2: present for everybody out there. So that'll be up so
Speaker 2: you can get ahead of your best ball drafts and
Speaker 2: just have some kind of baseball stuff. But also early
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four first round, Welsh put this together, which
Speaker 2: is super fun. Otani going first, Judge, Bobby Wit three,
Speaker 2: Josey Ramirez for love all this, Gunner Henderson five, Ellie
Speaker 2: de la Cruz six, Jan Soto seven, A Kunya eight.
Speaker 2: I think Acuni will be ready right big basically at
Speaker 2: the start of the season. I wonder if that knee
Speaker 2: was bothering him earlier in the year two and that's
Speaker 2: why the performance was down Welsh, do you suspect that
Speaker 2: might be the case as well? Before I think stopped
Speaker 2: for him literally, yeah, yeah, I think so, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: kind of get that feeling as well. Then after that,
Speaker 2: Mookie bets Corbyn Carrol then Scooble and schemes. Hard to
Speaker 2: argue with that. I don't like pictures in the first round,
Speaker 2: you know that, But if you're gonna put two pictures
Speaker 2: in the first round, that's certainly a way to go.
Speaker 2: So who are the guys that just kind of missed
Speaker 2: that first round? Just kind of blasting through the guys
Speaker 2: like Vlad Guerrero obviously won, Marcelo Zuna who had a
Speaker 2: great season thirty nine home runs, one hundred rbi. Looking
Speaker 2: back up there, Alvarez just missing as well. Could tell
Speaker 2: Marte to another great season for him thirty five bombs
Speaker 2: to ninety four. That's a guy that just missed this
Speaker 2: first round. How about Lindor too. Lindor was another one
Speaker 2: of these guys too. I kept talking about all off season,
Speaker 2: why are we suppressing the value of a thirty thirty guy,
Speaker 2: Well guess what thirty thirty basically thirty one home runs,
Speaker 2: twenty seven steals, a pretty great season from Lindor. Who
Speaker 2: else stands out to you as guys that are just
Speaker 2: around that first round conversation? And obviously Bryce Harper, I
Speaker 2: don't know if you want to put Corey Seger in
Speaker 2: that conversation too, potentially, or even Manny Machado another thirty
Speaker 2: one hundred season for him with some steals.
Speaker 1: So something we did on in this league for a
Speaker 1: couple episodes was we were taking a look at what
Speaker 1: the talent for a round is. And it wasn't about
Speaker 1: filling out. It was like who's worthy of first round?
Speaker 1: Who is in that tier that's first round? Who's the
Speaker 1: second round? Da da da da do that? So the
Speaker 1: reason I mentioned this is Otani Judge. And by the way,
Speaker 1: if you want to move the order, like you could
Speaker 1: definitely argue Ellie over Gunner, Henderson and stuff, but I
Speaker 1: went Otani Judge, Wit Jose Amiraz, Gunner, Ellie Soto, Akunya Betts.
Speaker 1: Let's stop there. That's nine. That's a tier. That's a
Speaker 1: tier of type of players. Now maybe there's tiers within
Speaker 1: those tiers, like having Otani judge, you know, that might
Speaker 1: be uniquely itself, having then Wit or Josier Amiraz is itself.
Speaker 1: But my point is is like I don't think those
Speaker 1: guys are really crazy debatable, But then those bottom three
Speaker 1: I put in there. It is debatable. Corbyn Carroll hit
Speaker 1: two thirty two. He might not belong in there. I
Speaker 1: put him in there because he's a twenty thirty guy,
Speaker 1: had the fifth most runs in baseball and he's stunk
Speaker 1: with average and that will fix. And then you put
Speaker 1: in elite pitchers. But the goofy thing is is I
Speaker 1: put Skeens in over Sale, and Sale wasn't in there,
Speaker 1: So I put Terry Skuble and Paul Skeens in. Oh,
Speaker 1: those bottom three of the arguments. So who are the
Speaker 1: guys that you could throw in Chris Sale if you're
Speaker 1: in a fifteen team roto again, Scooball and Sales seasons
Speaker 1: were so dominant at a level that's unheard of. You
Speaker 1: can justify. And I don't like high pitching as well,
Speaker 1: but pitching was so high end dominant that it might
Speaker 1: be this might be a year that it's worth paying
Speaker 1: for one of those top three pitchers, because there's so
Speaker 1: much better than the rest. You mentioned Francisco Lindor. If
Speaker 1: someone wanted to say, I want Lindor over Carrol, I
Speaker 1: think that absolutely works. I think Colio Rodriguez is one
Speaker 1: of those people might be getting kind of sick of it,
Speaker 1: but it's still twenty twenty. If he gets some more support,
Speaker 1: he's one of the most talented players in baseball. I
Speaker 1: think Trey Turner too. Trey Turner missed some time. If
Speaker 1: he had played a full season, you would have saw
Speaker 1: some big, big stats with stolen bases that are out there.
Speaker 2: And then you mentioned it if Royce Lewis played a
Speaker 2: full season.
Speaker 1: Two Yeah, if Royce played a full season and the
Speaker 1: power was there, maybe.
Speaker 2: Back Centurio for you know, a whole good half two
Speaker 2: haves of baseball.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, guys out there, how I'd done
Speaker 1: this as a fifteen team Roto. I think it would
Speaker 1: have just been easier. I just put Sale, put Lindor,
Speaker 1: put Julio, call it a day. There's your fifteen. I
Speaker 1: think that, for the most part, is what the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five first round is going to look like. But
Speaker 1: the best thing is right here on the channel, we're
Speaker 1: gonna be breaking down early mock rookies for next year,
Speaker 1: what the first round looks like, targets, all that stuff
Speaker 1: way before we've ever done before, and we'll start digging
Speaker 1: into that early stuff. But I'd be curious if anybody
Speaker 1: you know out there you can put it in the
Speaker 1: YouTube comments below, is there someone that so dramatically needs
Speaker 1: to be in over another guy, because I will tell
Speaker 1: you schemes dramatically well, but like Carol at two thirty two,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a homer. I'll totally listen
Speaker 1: to knocking him out. And also, like Skeens as a rookie,
Speaker 1: I think even though it was one of the most
Speaker 1: dominant pitching performances from rookie ever, it's still kind of
Speaker 1: a question for a young guy to be drafted that OUI.
Speaker 2: It's still kind of mid So I understand Carol there, Lindor,
Speaker 2: I think is the one you have the best argument.
Speaker 1: Duran and Meryl we left off there as well, like
Speaker 1: those guys up these huge seasons.
Speaker 2: Well they got to do it. They got to, you know,
Speaker 2: to be a first round pick. That's why it was
Speaker 2: really it was lofty to put Carrol after one year
Speaker 2: top five, and it was something that I struggled with,
Speaker 2: Like I like video game numbers. It were, but like again,
Speaker 2: you do it more than once. You have my attention
Speaker 2: as like a better investment. Speaking of investments, our best
Speaker 2: investments of the year Showy Altani for me at four
Speaker 2: to one MVP. The only problem was I put it
Speaker 2: with everything else that got destroyed. I put it with
Speaker 2: a Kodia, I put it with Strider, I put it
Speaker 2: with all these other things, and I lit money on fire.
Speaker 2: This is the first year that I would say in
Speaker 2: the futures market, I was not profitable after three straight
Speaker 2: years of just absolutely crushing it. So unfortunates as circumstances
Speaker 2: injuries really hurt me there. But I think I've learned
Speaker 2: a lot ready to get back for twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: and I think the approach of twenty twenty five is
Speaker 2: going to be much more individualized. We were putting a
Speaker 2: lot of fun things together and the more variance you had, Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: even if you had just one other player, it could
Speaker 2: really crush a lot of the bets you have. Welsh,
Speaker 2: what was the best and the worst of betting for you?
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you too. Actually, I think like the
Speaker 1: rookie market's going to be really fascinating last year or
Speaker 1: next year. I would say the best bet could be
Speaker 1: that I have and I have this awesome card that's
Speaker 1: inscribed by said player that you're going to get to
Speaker 1: see soon. But I don't know if it's ever gonna matter.
Speaker 1: My best bet would be Jackson Merrill. I bet him
Speaker 1: preseason plus seventeen hundred for Rookie of the Year. He
Speaker 1: has been the favorite for the last month. The odds
Speaker 1: have now moved in favor for Paul Skeins because just
Speaker 1: the ridiculous season. But Merril is plus one ten. But
Speaker 1: the best bet I did on Betting Pros. You and
Speaker 1: I did a show on Betting Pros of the best
Speaker 1: bets for future market, and I said on the show,
Speaker 1: my favorite bet of the year was Elie de la
Speaker 1: Cruz to lead the league in stolen bases at plus
Speaker 1: six hundred. I did bet that. I obviously cashing that
Speaker 1: and this, and you know I don't.
Speaker 2: He'll be the heavy favorite next year, like probably two
Speaker 2: or three.
Speaker 1: It'll be like a minus money. It'll be probably minus.
Speaker 2: It'll be minus no. Because baseball is such a long season,
Speaker 2: and there's other guys that are in the forties. I
Speaker 2: think it'll be. If I was setting it, I would
Speaker 2: sit at it like plus two ten.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say I don't do as much future market
Speaker 1: betting as you do. This is my biggest most profitable year.
Speaker 1: And if Marilyn's Rookie of the Year, it's not even close.
Speaker 1: I already cash like my diamondbacks over.
Speaker 2: When time bad, you're good. If you're bad, I'm good.
Speaker 2: That's the balance the Yin and the Yank carry has
Speaker 2: been leading off the success of the program. Is that
Speaker 2: so well? Uh? You know that was kind of a
Speaker 2: look into the future, a look back at this year.
Speaker 2: A tremendous year of growth for our channel here and
Speaker 2: our podcast. So again, thank you to everybody for hanging
Speaker 2: out with us. Sorry I have to go away in
Speaker 2: August and September, but.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, yeah, like it didn't.
Speaker 2: We have a great team here, and it's a great
Speaker 2: team between Mayor Wonky Penguin, uh, the two of us,
Speaker 2: a Rico Casey, Bubba Cross and someoneus. We have great
Speaker 2: guests come on this year too.
Speaker 1: Bogman was here for someone based on Bodmin was here.
Speaker 2: You know, helping out as well. So we're a team
Speaker 2: here over at Fantasy Bros MLB and Welsh Any final
Speaker 2: thoughts here before we close out the year. Obviously two
Speaker 2: with the sixty home runs, it's looking like South African
Speaker 2: G is gonna win this. Yeah, so Lad Guerrero Junior,
Speaker 2: that is gonna go to him.
Speaker 1: I did reach out, and I think there was something
Speaker 1: in the calculation so they couldn't get a graphic to us.
Speaker 1: I will say the winner will definitely be announced in
Speaker 1: the Discord fantasypros dot Com slash chat. But going in
Speaker 1: to Monday, South African G had a four home run lead,
Speaker 1: which would get him if he finishes this out. Here's
Speaker 1: the crazy thing. I just want to throw this out.
Speaker 1: What if Monday and they do a double head?
Speaker 2: What if that?
Speaker 1: I guess double headers are weird for the contest, but like,
Speaker 1: what if it came down to something like that, don't.
Speaker 2: Oh double headers? I was gonna say the contest double headers,
Speaker 2: let's not bring that up.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know what it would happen.
Speaker 2: Another good question from Michael, or let's end this like
Speaker 2: World Series predictions. Look, I'm sticking with what I had
Speaker 2: in the beginning. I had Astros Phillies. They'll stick with
Speaker 2: Astros Phillies. If it's Baltimore Phillies, I have that as
Speaker 2: an investment as well, so I'll be happy to see that.
Speaker 2: It'll get me back probably over to at least push
Speaker 2: for the year if I get those two big wagers.
Speaker 2: But I'm not going off the Phillies. I do think
Speaker 2: the Padres are very dangerous though, like there's a partony
Speaker 2: that wants to kind of hedge on them. But that's
Speaker 2: where my head's at. I'm still going Phillies again. Home
Speaker 2: field advantage is something that doesn't exist in baseball anymore,
Speaker 2: and that place has it, and that place is Was
Speaker 2: it a concert last night in Philadelphia? There were Phillies
Speaker 2: shirts everywhere. This town is rabid for the Phillies. Still
Speaker 2: your thoughts and predictions here for the World Series to
Speaker 2: finish things out here for baseball?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean my predition was Yankees Phillies the whole time,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna stick with the Yankees. They've been dominant,
Speaker 1: they have like the best just combo. I mean, They're
Speaker 1: bullpen have been a little bit amp, but like Luke
Speaker 1: Weavers really stepped up their rotation. I think Luis Heel
Speaker 1: stepping up into the playoffs would be huge, and their
Speaker 1: offense is obviously just like ridiculous. So I love the Yankees.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, though, I'm with you on the Padres.
Speaker 1: I think the Padres are a menace. They are throwing
Speaker 1: out Michael King cease, They've got Musk Grove back, Darvish
Speaker 1: is back, and they have one of the best bullpens.
Speaker 1: Off of the trade deadline. I would not be shocked
Speaker 1: if the Padres start kind of jumping out there and
Speaker 1: getting some crazy momentum and they end up moving in.
Speaker 1: So Padres Yankees World series would not shock me. But
Speaker 1: I'll stick with my original one. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I've always had gray hair. Jacob's saying, when did Welsh
Speaker 1: have gray hair? I've always had this little like it's
Speaker 1: kind of a rose. Yeah, I wear a hat a lot,
Speaker 1: but also it is kind of like my rogue streak,
Speaker 1: where I have like a little bit of a white.
Speaker 1: But I think this season gave me some great hair too.
Speaker 2: That's what it is.
Speaker 1: Man, What can I say?
Speaker 2: There you go, there, you go. Well, look, man, it's
Speaker 2: been a great season. I'm so proud of this channel,
Speaker 2: the work we've done, and people said nobody would watch
Speaker 2: baseball stuff, Well, guess what they're wrong. You all did
Speaker 2: all season long. So shout out to all of you,
Speaker 2: and again we're not going anywhere. It's going to be
Speaker 2: more fun stuff too. Welsh's breakdown of that rookie class
Speaker 2: is still on the channel. If you miss that, go
Speaker 2: back and watch it. It'll help you with all of
Speaker 2: your upcoming dynasty drafts and new stuff coming up here
Speaker 2: to the rookie drafts going through and your startup dynasty leagues.
Speaker 2: Two and again. We'll be back doing probably more than
Speaker 2: we did last year considering how successful the channel has been,
Speaker 2: and we want to make it the number one fantasy
Speaker 2: baseball channel, and we're not far off from making that happen.
Speaker 2: So get in with us, hang out with us again.
Speaker 2: Fantastic season. That'll do it for us, But the story
Speaker 2: of the game goes on for the Welsh. I'm Joey
Speaker 2: p Enjoy the playoffs everybody, and we can't wait to
