00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: the Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks in the chat for another

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: day of glorious baseball talk. We've got some minor league

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: notes to get through. We got some guy getting sent

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: down that was kind of a surprising move just about

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: a half hour ago. We've got more injury news, of course,

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: but I think we have to start here. Welsh, what

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: the fot? What the fot is going on with Brandon Fought?

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: I got another I got a different word I was

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: gonna use, but I guess, well, yeah, maybe focus on

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: the p and not the f of what I was thinking.

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, you gotta Okay, you got a choice. You

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: can have like reasonable like I'll like break down what

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: you know was behind some of the start, or you

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: can just have me let loose. So what would you like?

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: Where do you want? I doesn't I'm not setting you

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: up to, like have.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: Let loose about your frustrations fire Like how I.

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: Can overreact, I can be I can overreact about the situation,

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: or I can reasonably talk to you about what was behind.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 2: Essentially non haesus sanche or non orges.

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: So layer at bats, I will say this. I like

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: logic and reasons, so give me that part of it. Okay, Like,

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: because I'm because it's a baseball is a six months

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: log marathon, so I am not the hot take sorcerer

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to that stuff. So let's be reasonable

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: at the top of the show for a change. Okay.

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: So outside of him looking like the worst pitcher in

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: baseball consistently, Brandon fought a couple of things. Started the

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: game off way too heavy fastball, like seventy percent through

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: the first two innings. My theory is that there's a

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: major issue with him going deeper into games, and he

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: was setting up the fastball to go heavy secondaries later,

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: which is exactly what happened. The fastball did hit highs.

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: That was part of the problem. When it's like only

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: a ninety three mill and a half fastball, he hit

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: ninety five and a half on a high and a fastball,

43
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: which was really great. That's a good thing to end

44
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: up seeing. He had four whiffs across his three major

45
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: used pitches, each twenty percent withifth percentage, not the best

46
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: in the world, but the fastball induced withs this time,

47
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: the sweeper had a thirty one percent with rate, and

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: the change up, which he used fifteen percent of the time,

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: had a sixty seven percent wiff rate. These are all

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: really good, and he started using them in the second half,

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: and if you just take away Hoorg Solaire, it actually

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: wasn't a horrific start outside of some of the balls

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: getting hit deep. So the guy's pitching to. He hasn't

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: found his command because he's pitching to too much contact

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: right now. So there actually is hope. Because he made

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 2: two massive mistakes with Jorge Soilaire. Outside of that, he

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: actually he managed pretty well. He hit the zone and

58
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: the back half of the start pretty well. Sweeper, changeup

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: was good, and he started utilizing the curveball. It's not

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: as bad as it looked on paper because after he

61
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: hit the give up that first homer, he sat down

62
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: like the next six or seven, and I think he

63
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: struck out three of those seven, So there is hope,

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: but it's a little fouded right now.

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: It's a little fun. Well, that was good. I enjoyed

66
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: that very much. If you watch the show yesterday, we

67
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: warned you, with all the Peterson stuff going on getting

68
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: called up from TRIPA, that Max Scherzer was dicey for

69
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: the start. Guess what, Mex Scherzer didn't make his start.

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: He expects to me back later in the week against

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: the Nationals. Great, okay, whatever, he's gonna miss a couple

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: of days now it's a neck issue. Yesterday with a

73
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: scapula was bothering. I don't know, man, This met's pitching

74
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: stap started look like a whole lot of millions of

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: dollars for a whole lot of nothing so far. So

76
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: we'll see if Orlander can buck that trend today. Yesterday

77
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: we talked about Casey Schmidt making his debut. If you're

78
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: getting called up by the Giants, we say, he's not

79
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: a big power. So what did he do? Well, he

80
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: went out there and hit a home run in his

81
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: first game, So that was a you gotta love when

82
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: that happens. So now everyone go, oh, this guy's gonna

83
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: be a slugger. No, he's not well, the more great

84
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: moment there with his parents there and his family at

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: the game yesterday.

86
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: He also was playing shortstop. I mean that was a

87
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: big thing, like this is a versatile guy who can

88
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: play first but can play in the spot, and he

89
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: started right out at shortstop. He was a good contact guy.

90
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean he had twenty one homers is

91
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: you know the previous year, but like all in hi A,

92
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: seventeen of his twenty one were in Higa from twenty

93
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: twenty two. So it's just not a doesn't look like

94
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: a big, massive power guy. But guess what contact guys,

95
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: they just walk into power sometimes. It looked it looked

96
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: pretty good. And you know, if he's gonna be able

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: to play the middle infield, he's got a legit shot

98
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: to stick around for quite some time.

99
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: You know, we're starting to hit the ball. Francisco Alvarez

100
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: two solo home runs yesterday, two for four against the Reds,

101
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: three oh eight three point fifty seven five ninety slash

102
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: in his last fifteen games. So don't look now, but

103
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: is Francisco Alvarez starting to get it at the major

104
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: league level, Because it's looking like he's starting to get it.

105
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: I did see him. I was, I gotta be honest

106
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: with you. I was getting to the point of kind

107
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: of writing off because you know, I worry about like

108
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: his home defensively and what's gonna be able to happen.

109
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: Sure, and it was so much. It was so bad

110
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: to start the season, and the negativity around it just

111
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: kind of I don't think any of us have realized

112
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: the last two weeks at Alfarez has been pretty solid.

113
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still think like we got to temper some

114
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: of it. He's got an expected WOLBA of like two

115
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: sixty eight. He's expected batting average is twenty points lower.

116
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: He's still striking unexpected I say unexpected, No.

117
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: I said unexpected wolba. Oh, just at the expected wolba.

118
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: I want, you know, just once in a while, it'll

119
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: be nice if we showed up here and you brought

120
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: some unexpected wholb before me, you know, like flowers or candy,

121
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: like this is a mooba. I didn't.

122
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: I didn't so unconditional whoe but too, Like, how how

123
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: does it take to get marditional wOBA?

124
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I'm still looking for it. I

125
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: don't know. I've never had unconditioned by the way.

126
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: This is a great one. Dan g has our our

127
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: jar idea. We'll just call it fun hot in a jar,

128
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: and we'll spell it pfa art and we'll call it

129
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: fart in a jar.

130
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: There you go, well done. Continuing on joey Otani's first

131
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: loss of the season, three runs and seven innings. He

132
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: still got a two seven and four e RA. More

133
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: on the other side of that start in a second,

134
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: but he's still pretty darn good. He's got sixty six

135
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: strikeouts and forty six innings over eight starts, so he

136
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: was bound to get a loss sooner or later. Tough assignment.

137
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber was tough yesterday. He was tough to hit.

138
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: He's got a two six one ERA now one point

139
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: one zero whip thirty nine k's thirteen walks. Again, the

140
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: K rate is lower, but this was a big one

141
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: for him in terms of k's. I'm a Bieber guy,

142
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: I know you and a lot of other people were

143
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: not so much the Baber guys. Oh yeah, so far

144
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: as return right now.

145
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: All the people in the woodworks about this, I mean,

146
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: you guys are all the beers unbelievable. Yeah, Razor Ramon

147
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 2: chats doing the whole thing. Like I've worn two things.

148
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: This is two things. I said, I'm out on Bieber

149
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: because everything on the outside, of the inside, how you

150
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: want to look at it, is coming down. But I

151
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: also say, the one thing he consistently does is he

152
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: defies the odds. And I give that. I give him

153
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: credit to that he defies the odds. Of he is

154
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: an eighteen percent k rate right now. That's not good,

155
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: highest walk rate of his career, not good. Almost two

156
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: runs higher expected batting average, not good. But guess what,

157
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: he defies the odds. I give him that credit that

158
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: It's like, you got to make those decisions. I would

159
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: like to capitalize, and yes, I see this as a

160
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: capitalizing situation where if I had not gotten rid of,

161
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 2: I would try to right now. But he defies the odds.

162
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: This is what he is, and he can still have games.

163
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: And when you talk about selling players, it does not

164
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: mean that they are garbage. They're garbage, They're not garbage.

165
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: He's still a good player. But there's some stuff that

166
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: doesn't make you feel good, like you know, giving up

167
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: one sixteen maxivs and stuff. But he was pretty awesome yesterday.

168
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: That's an egg on the face type of moment for.

169
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: Oh, look, you know Biber. I think Bimber's a good picture.

170
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't think Bieber is as dominant as he was

171
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and I think that is something

172
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: that everybody has come out and said, like, don't expec that,

173
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's good. And every now and then

174
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: when he has a start like this, it's a reminder

175
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: he has that upside and he's still a one A

176
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: starting pitcher. I still don't put him in that class,

177
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: like he's not in the Gallon class or a strider class.

178
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: He's on that class, but he's a step down from there.

179
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: And if you went early hitting, there's nothing wrong with

180
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber and another guy like a Gossman type being

181
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: at the top of your rotation. By the way, I

182
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: have the the the was in Halloween costume for you

183
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: that you should be in the fall. You should be

184
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: Boba fat a wOBA fot oloba fot wOBA fot wOBA

185
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: fot Yes, you are good, Joe. You wear a Brandon

186
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: fat hat with a Boba fet mask and you go

187
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: around giving it and when the children come to your house,

188
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: instead of giving out candy, you give out you know,

189
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: expected wOBA or other things, or other statistics like little

190
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: bits of papers. Yeah, like somebody had an article the

191
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: CoV RC plus of one to eighty seven. You just

192
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: drop it in there, little.

193
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: Abooba con like that's like your nerd voice. Excuse me.

194
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: To make sure that the I said Wilva was high

195
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: enough before I decided to put the videt.

196
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: Just talk about unbeased, talking about the unbeased percentage.

197
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: Like I can bene to twenty five, about weighted on

198
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: base percentage. Uh, Boba Shett two for five of the Homer.

199
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: Good day for him. Uh. We also had some interesting news,

200
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: which is you know, I'll take the l on this one.

201
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: I was very concerned Mason Miller's elbow yesterday. The MRI

202
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: came back clean structurally so that is a huge hurdle.

203
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Structurally clean is huge. However, still pain there, obviously because

204
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: the guy is hurt and he's complaining about it. So

205
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: structurally clean, that's good. That gives us a good feeling.

206
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: He's still gonna miss some time. They're not gonna push him.

207
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: The a's are dreadful. I still say he could miss

208
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: a month, Like I'm still saying. This is one of

209
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: the things that we can shut him down for a month.

210
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: So I'm still holding on to possibly being right on this,

211
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: but at least it looks like it's not a season

212
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: ending kind of thing, at least not yet.

213
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: So the right would be like an NFBC league where

214
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: you can't d L a guy or I L a

215
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 2: guy and you have to just carry him on your

216
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: major roster, Like that would be a little bit more

217
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: of the problem. If he's out for a month, you

218
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: can just I L him. He'll get back, and he'll

219
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 2: get back to striking out batters and he'll be exponentially

220
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: better than Brandon Fought.

221
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. This show is such a cult already,

222
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: Like could you imagine somebody just jumping into this chat

223
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: and be people talking about slutters and and Fought this

224
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: and all these like it's just hilarious. I look at

225
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: the chat, it's like one giant inside joke.

226
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: I found the show, and a good, really good one.

227
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: I'm I can't find who did it, But oh no,

228
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: mister Buster, how about whoa Bashett? It can be a

229
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: new k it could be a mascot, but I'm putting

230
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 2: woaba shed whoat.

231
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's also a good one. Not good for Jose Miranda.

232
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: He got sent down, So Kyle Farmer is going to

233
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: come up and play. I think my hope is this

234
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: is that Miranda had a bad six weeks. He goes

235
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: down to Triple A, he gets his head right, comes back.

236
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: This is the perfect time. I'm sure people want to

237
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: drop him. I'd be get him up. People were ready

238
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: to just jettison him. I would say, here, give me

239
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: because the guy was pretty solid last year. So for

240
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: whatever reason, you know, slump's happened. Bad situations happened to me.

241
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: This is an opportunity to buy for pennies on the

242
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: dollar on a player because I still like the player.

243
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: I'm not giving up completely.

244
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit indifferent about it. I mean this

245
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 2: is more of an l for me because Jose Miranda

246
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 2: was my guy. It's a pretty gross looking savant page.

247
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 2: In general, he definitely was a better hitter. I mean,

248
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: expect a batting average tells a different story. If we

249
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: want to go back to that is almost a two fifty.

250
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: There hard hit numbers were in line. He just wasn't

251
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: barely in the ball as much. Here's my only problem

252
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: with this, and I would throw this out to.

253
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: You, guys.

254
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: Royce Lewis has started to rehab assignment and they send

255
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: him down, they send Miranda down. Royce Lewis is a

256
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: guy that you know. He was in the majors. He's

257
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: versatile in a lot of different spots. He's missed so

258
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: much time though, that this might be extended, just saying that.

259
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: The possibility is that Miranda might not be able to

260
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: come back too soon and it might be more of

261
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: an extended state unless he just dumb and.

262
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, man. I think he's

263
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: gonna go there and jump back in. I I do.

264
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll be wrong. We shall see how it plays out.

265
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: But again, you look at this chat between the snooky

266
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: references and would you imagine like something going? What is

267
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: this program? You know what? Come join us, join the cult.

268
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: Things are amazing. We make you smile. We talked.

269
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: Look at the chat for a couple of minutes.

270
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's looking out.

271
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: I'm looking away.

272
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: I love what we've created here. I just gotta say,

273
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: I love you guys. It's awesome. It's a beautiful half

274
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: hour every day. Christopher Morell Homeward single, It's sole a

275
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: basso a lot of things going on. But but here's

276
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: a problem, Eco Horner. His injury might not be as

277
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: bad as we had thought it would, so it could

278
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: be something where Nico might be back in days and

279
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: not weeks. So if that's the case, how aggressive are

280
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: we on Sunday on Morel here in order to add him?

281
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 2: I think be decently and Morell still complain in the outfield.

282
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: I think that's more of where his home is gonna

283
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: end up being.

284
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: Do you think he would still get enough at bats

285
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: to warrant adding him this week?

286
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: I would speculate, because he's one of those guys who

287
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: was really difficult to keep down. I was actually just

288
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: going through this just updated over on my Patriot I

289
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: people want to check it out in this league dot com,

290
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: the top five hundred list in the Dynasty list, and

291
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: I was going through some minor league numbers, and he

292
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: was the only minor leaguer of all of them to

293
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: have nine homers. Of all those guys to have nine

294
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: homers with thirty run and thirty yrs, well, actually he

295
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: was one of two to have nine homers, thirty runs,

296
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: thirty rbi in all of MiLB. The only other guy

297
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: someone I've talked about briefly, but Dominic canzone people should

298
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: pay attention to him with the Diamondbacks nine homers, thirty

299
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: plus runs, thirty plus RBI, hitting two to eighty morel

300
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: hitting over three hundred. So it's like you can't keep

301
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: him down there much longer. It doesn't serve anybody. He'd

302
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: be better set on the team now. He could be

303
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: a super util type of guy. But I think they're

304
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 2: going to find spots for him. But they are a

305
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 2: little crowded, a little crowded. You got the man seening

306
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: using the nervouses and you can't get Suzuki and Belling Gerff,

307
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: so they're getting a little bit crowded they are.

308
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: And I know everyone's in the chat talking about morel

309
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: to difference of opinions here, and look, it does seem

310
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: crowded right now, there's no doubt about that. But at

311
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you speculate on talent. I'm

312
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: good with that, just don't almost pay for it right now,

313
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't be throwing a huge fab bit out there,

314
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: like you throw, you know, a couple of bucks out

315
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: there and see if you can get him. I think

316
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: that's probably a better situation. All right, let's get to

317
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: the injuries. That's never a good situation. Kyle Schwarber day

318
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: to day with left foot confusion. Noah Cinderguard removed Tuesday

319
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: with a cut on his index finger. He tried to

320
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: pitch through it, but that doesn't matter. Sinderguard's trash anyway.

321
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: Ricky tinam In, Your boy is week to week with

322
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: left bicep inflammation. Great for the team.

323
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: It's better than like he when he walked off, He's

324
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: like immediately pointing to his form and stuff. It could

325
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: have been a lot worse. But this is his second

326
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: injury already, so don't love that.

327
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: Don't love that. Nicko Lodolo dealing with calf soreness, so

328
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: his start's gonna be pushed back to Saturday. Bruce Bochi

329
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: told reporters that Jacob de Gram could return in another

330
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: two to three weeks. Great, awesome. I'm sure everything's gonna

331
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: go great with that. I'm sure there's gonna be no

332
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: problems the rest of the year with Jacob deGrom. The

333
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: power of positivity Welsh Lance mccullors, who want to talk

334
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: about positivity through twenty five Bitch Bullpen session. They need

335
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: him desperately looking at some time, Lol, sometime next month.

336
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: You're hoping in the meantime, France is there. I did

337
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: a breakdown on France in the Waiver Wire video that

338
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: I just recorded that should come out tomorrow, So make

339
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: sure you subscribe to the channel and click the bell

340
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: so you know when that drops. But you know, mccullors,

341
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: if he's out there, ad him. I mean, at this

342
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: point there's there's two spots open that rotation Welsh and

343
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: I just look at it. This is just math and

344
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: mccullors is a is always frustrating. But I think you

345
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: gotta add him anyway, don't you think? And you gotta

346
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: add him.

347
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: But like it's not going to be up for like

348
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: three weeks, let's say, but what does that look like?

349
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: I just don't know what that looks like?

350
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: Like?

351
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: Sure is anything? If you have the room and you what.

352
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: Does it looks like? It looks like five innings, four

353
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: earned runs and six strikeouts.

354
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: And then you want to make fun of Jacobs ground

355
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: getting hurt.

356
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: And then mc coolers is, yes, but one of them

357
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: was a top five pitcher in ADP.

358
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: No, it was fair, totally fair.

359
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not making I'm like, yes, you're not

360
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: You're not wrong. But this is about adding a player

361
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire. This is not about drafting a

362
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: player with the second route pick.

363
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: But also, like, the stuff just isn't there. I mean,

364
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: he's hitting like ninety one. It's fine, give it all,

365
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: take him up when he's healthy. I'm way more interested

366
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: than I am right now. That's all right.

367
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Andre's munios is not close to healthy. He was shut down. Oh,

368
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: this is so frustrating. I hate everything MRI shoulder inflammation

369
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: for him, that's not good. Carlos Carrasco though, one run

370
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: over three innings on Tuesday, so he's working his way back.

371
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: They desperately need more pitching help. I'm off Carrasco is

372
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: a guy. James Paxton, he's coming back on Friday, but

373
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: he's got a six era so far in the rehab,

374
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: so don't how I feel about that. And Carlos Rodon

375
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: got another cortizone injection. It's like, you know, like, can

376
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: you get up in the morning, you know, you just

377
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: have your coffee, you know, and just read the paper

378
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: or something. Carls ron gets up shot shot yeah, coon shots. Yeah,

379
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: here here's a here's a question over under ten and

380
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: a half starts for Carlos Roddan this year U shout,

381
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: I want to know and a half Penis and cracker Jacks.

382
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: Let me know what you think over under carls Don

383
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: ten and a half starts. Okay, Welsh, what do you got?

384
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the under the under I.

385
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: Think so too. I'm gonna go the under also, uh

386
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: and yes, Wonky Munos makes me sad too, all those things.

387
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: So another under from Renegade envy under from evil Zilla.

388
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: Everybody's under here. Maybe I set the bar to h

389
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: I thought ten and a half was actually pretty good number.

390
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: No, it's a great number. Actually, think it's a real

391
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: good number. But yeah, still under.

392
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to push that. The book closed and

393
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: we're going to reopen it. Eight and a half, they would.

394
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: Here's a fun one. We were just talking about this

395
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: guy the other day. Elie de la Cruz went three

396
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: for four yesterday with three extra base hits with exit

397
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: velocities over one hundred and sixty.

398
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: Miles, three homers, three hiders, all one six one.

399
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: Sixteen over Sarah Langst. Sarah Langs, who does an incredible

400
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,479
Speaker 1: job at MLB dot com ship with the best baseball

401
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: riders out there and research people. No major league player

402
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: has recorded three batted balls with an exit philoscity of

403
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: one to sixteen in a single game in the stack

404
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: cast era since twenty fifth.

405
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: He's a freakman. He's a total frield. Yeah, I dude,

406
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: I battle him so much of Like, you know, is

407
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: he the top prospect. He's got some of the only

408
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: he's got the Onell Cruse in him. It's it's not

409
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: good to like do one for one comps. But you know,

410
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 2: he can get over swinging, and he can lack in

411
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: batting average, but he absolutely murders baseballs and he can run.

412
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: And you know, I saw him in spring training standing

413
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: next to him. He's also so physically different than Oneo

414
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: Cruz too, the shoulders up, added muscle. He is so

415
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: impressive and he will be here at some point within

416
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 2: the next two months. I could not even guess to

417
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 2: you what the Reds outlook is going to look like.

418
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: Christian and Karnashian Strand is coming. I still believe it.

419
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 2: It's going to be within the next week. You've got

420
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: Matt McClain who's been going nuts. They've got so many guys.

421
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: They they can implode this major league roster whenever they want.

422
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: It's just when will they And the people that will

423
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: be there are McClain, Ellie and Karnashian Strand and Andrew Abbott.

424
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: Those are the guys Pitchers get right. If Ashcraft and

425
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: Lodolo and Green all get right, the Reds could be good.

426
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: Like this is gonna be not this year, but not

427
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: this year. But look, there's there's hope. This made my

428
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: day the Vapors. Of course, the Vapors made the comment

429
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: of the day from uh from a great Dave Chappelle classic,

430
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: Half Baked, change the team name to Baciatomy for Carlos

431
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: Rodonda got the movies. That movie's underrated. That is a

432
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: very There's a couple comedies from that like late nineties

433
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: almost early two thousands period. Half Baked is one of them,

434
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: not you know, doesn't get enough credit. And the other

435
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: one is Dirty Work with Norm MacDonald, which is so

436
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: dumb and hilarious at the same time. It's two very

437
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: underrated late nineties comedies. All right, let's do three up,

438
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: three down here. Horace Hilaire, he was up, much of

439
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: the chagrin of Brandon fought two homers five Ribby's not

440
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: too shabby six two win over the d Backs. George Kirby.

441
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people coming at you for the George

442
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: Kirby here. I thought you liked George Kirby.

443
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if you like George Kirby. But here's

444
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 2: the problem.

445
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: This is why people like it.

446
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 2: No, I said, he is an anomaly because he's very

447
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: bieber esque. He's putting up like these crazy numbers with

448
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: horrific cap He had an eight percent swinging strike percentage

449
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: coming into this start, so apparently I can just jump

450
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: start these guys. That's fine. But again, y'all get it

451
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: messed up. It's not that I think these guys are bad.

452
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: They have a value.

453
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: You took Kirby over Gilbert every draft we did together.

454
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and I like, I mean, I like where

455
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: Gilbert's head as far as the strikeout numbers.

456
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: Co.

457
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: I like George Kirby, but he's not getting any swinging missus.

458
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: He is a Do you like Kirby the Little Picture

459
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: video game guy? You like Kirby?

460
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: Like that guy?

461
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: Like? Uh?

462
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: I didn't like? Didn't he just like?

463
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

464
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: Stuff?

465
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Yep? Uh huh? Yeah, you play they ball cocaine. Forget it, Kurry,

466
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: It's gone. That's how he flew. He flew all the time.

467
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: George Kirby nine strikeouts, seven shown innings for him, Framber

468
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: Valdez twelve K's Framber continues to be the color of

469
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: my energy, forever and ever. Unbelievable against shoey Otani. So

470
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: that matchup did not disappoint. David Peterson did, though, four

471
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: and runs, seven hits. I mean he did the best

472
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: he could. He got called up there the late pigs.

473
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: Uh Nick Pavetta four innings, eight hit, seven earned and

474
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: Brandon fought five innings, six earned runs for him.

00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:49,840

Speaker 2: He smacked, So you're welcome everyone, dude, Kuby Chane Bieber

488
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 2: You wont me money. Zip it. So today, here's what

489
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: we're gonna do today. We're going mookie bets fantasy. I

490
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: will tell you I don't feel as confident today as

491
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: I did yesterday. But fantasy score for mookie Bets eight,

492
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper, I love this one. Fantasy score seven and

493
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 2: a half. And Pablo Lopez strikeout six over he has

494
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: hit this in four pretty much every started pick but

495
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 2: won this year, but forbus last five starts he's had

496
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: over six strikeouts. So those are my three legs. Looked

497
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: at the no run first inning stuff. Didn't love it,

498
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: Just don't. I'm not in love with a whole bunch

499
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: of the plays today.

500
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,239
Speaker 1: Those are no run first inning. Welsh and I are

501
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: going to be doing a VP pod together. If so,

502
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: if you haven't, go subscribe to Betting Pros because we're

503

504
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: like a little baseball betting how to kind of thing.

505
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: So if you're still kind of figuring that out or

506
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: want to, you know, get involved with that, about no

507
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: run first innings, about ladder betting, about futures betting. So

508
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a fun little piece there. Here's an

509
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: interesting question before I get to my prize picks, says

510
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: pick two to keep Alvarez, Riley or Franco, Well, wander,

511
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Franco I'm keeping, and Austin Riley I'm keeping. If Francisco

512
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: Alvarez is the third guy, it's not close. You're talking

513
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: about two of the premier guys. And like, Alvarez is

514
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: a nice player, but I don't think we can get

515
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: there yet. Just because he's just because he's starting to

516
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: get right, doesn't mean he's in that level. Yeah, Like

517
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't care if he's a catcher, Like, I don't care.

518
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: That's that doesn't do it. That doesn't make me more

519
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: excited about Alvarez. It makes me less because catchers get hurt.

520
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: To me, I'm going on the over Justin Steele. It's

521
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: a small number. Five and a half, k's over Mookie

522
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: Betts Fantasy points today in Milwaukee and over six and

523
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: a half. It's a small number for Bregman. So whenever.

524
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: I always look for those tiny numbers. Six and a half.

525
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: That's a tiny number. You can do it. Alex pregnant

526
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: is Alex Bregman just mid?

527
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: He's yeah?

528
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: Is he the definitietion?

529
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 2: MI? I was a ready for you bet yeah, bet Joe,

530
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: I wasn't ready for you to drop those Yes, he's mid,

531
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: he's very mid.

532
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: No cap mid right, no cap sus it totally suss.

533

00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: If two of you jump out, we're almost at one hundred.

539
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 2: We're almost at one hundred only two of you. And

540

541
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,800

00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: you know, we're not getting update from Joe today. If

543
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 2: Joe was at the top, we'd see it. But it

544
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: just so happens that the leader in ro OI and

545
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 2: winning percentage one.

546
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: I didn't listen reporting, to be honest, so that's my bad.

547
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: Typically I do just joking, but ninety eight going, and.

548
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: Come on, let's go. Two more people get in there.

549
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: You don't even have to bet, you just have to

550
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: make picks. It's fun and the app is free. I've

551
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: been doing pretty well here, so here's the parlay of

552
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: the day. I'm just continue to just just drive these home.

553
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: Yesterday was bad, but two out of three eight bad,

554
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: just like that meat load song. So here you go.

555
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: Four legs today, four legs at Darna. Rodriguez against the

556
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians. How many times have we made money this year?

557
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: Andona Roriguez, The answer is a lot plus one ten.

558
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: You're getting plus money. Now you could bet this one.

559
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: I would bet this one on its own separately and

560
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: then throw it in with these other things. Because you

561
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: got Kershaw against the Brewers minus one sixty four, You've

562
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: got Luis Castillo at home against the Rangers minus one ninety,

563
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: and then Verlander against the dreadful Cincinnati team. They should

564
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: finally get a win here. The offense woke up a little.

565
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: I think that's encouraging minus one seventy six. So you

566
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: put those four things, Tigers, Dodgers, Mariners, Mets on the

567
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: money line, you get plus seven h nine. So seven

568
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: to one. Put ten bucks on that win seventy go

569
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: pay your I don't know yourself phone bill with that

570
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: other bets today Again, I'm not loving a lot of

571
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: the props today, so I'm out on the prop market.

572
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: I just keep it real. Well, what do you have

573
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: in the betty market today?

574
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree with you. It's just a weird day.

575
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of great numbers on the board.

576
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: I try.

577
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: I would either do some live betting too, if you're

578
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: interested in that.

579
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: Sure. I try to be picky like so I don't

580
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: have I could throw out like a million things. I

581
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 2: gave you two bets yesterday, hit them both. That's I

582
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: want to be as picky as possible, so I will

583
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: say you're Detroit one. I kind of like Detroit money

584
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: line through the first five with EDWARDO. It's minus one thirty.

585
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: That might be something I actually play, but you gotta

586
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: do it quick. It's going to start in like ten minutes.

587
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: My three bets Mookie bets total bases. That is even money.

588
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: I actually like that one on total bases. I know

589
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 2: I've got a hits parlay. I haven't done this in

590
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 2: a while. Jordan Alvarez and Bryce Harper both to just

591
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: receive one hit that will pay you plus one oh

592
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: seven when you parlay those two. I like that. And

593
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 2: total bases. I'm sorry, Tampa Bay first five team total

594
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 2: runs two and a half. So the Rays to score

595
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: two and a half runs through the first five innings,

596
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: that is gonna be my Those are my three plays

597
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 2: right now. There's other stuff kind of floating around, Like

598
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: I said, maybe that Detroit one, but that's a good one.

599
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: Richie's on here, Richie Silva, Bryce Miller, Zach effln or

600
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: what Rodriguez and Drew Smiley rest of season. I know

601
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna say Bryce Miller, aren't you.

602
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: I am gonna say.

603
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Rodriguez because he ain't gonna be a

604
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: Tiger much longer. Ain't gonna happen. But you know, this

Speaker 1: were the Boba fet helmet or the wOBA fet helmet.

614
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: You can do all kinds of amazing things and play

615
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: a little so rare. Again, it's fantasypros dot Com slash

616
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: collect that is the place to go. It's a good

617
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: time today. Again, just looking at the main slate because

618
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: by the time the show comes out on pod version,

619
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: I don't want people to be frustrated with us. But

620
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander ten point five, Jordan Montgomery nine point nine,

621
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: and Pablo Lopez ten point six. I think Lopez gonna

622
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: be low rostered at the last shaky outings that he's had,

623
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: so there's opportunity there. So you can have a Verlander

624
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: lineup and a Lopez lineup that're basically the same cost

625
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: Atlanta Boston Metz. That's where I'm looking for offense today,

626
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: I know. But Travis Darnaut two point seven, Cure Loft

627
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: two point two, and Justin Turner two point eight, those

628
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: are the value plays now. Welsh, I don't know if

629
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: you have a whole run call yet, but while you're

630
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: thinking of one. Here you go is the leader board

631
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: Prime Time fifteen, Homers zero at thirteen, Raiser Ramon VHb

632
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: and Calison at twelve. Again, if you want to join

Speaker 1: home run today. Starting to get a little hot, the
