Speaker 2: Off Live. It's me Joey P. Joe P's a pea

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: still alive after the four and a half hour onslaught

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: that was the NFL Draft last night, and with me

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: called up from the minor leagues yet again. You know,

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: sometimes we send him back down for seasoning, but I

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: think he's ready to stick this time. It's Joe Rico.

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Everybody the Welsh is off today, Arico. It's good to

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: see you too. Joe's one show. What could go wrong?

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: You know?

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: The manager came into my office last night. He said,

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: we're gonna need you for a spot. Started tomorrow. They

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: got the hitting camera and everything, and there was a big,

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: big scene on social media. No, I'm very happy to

25
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: be here, Joe. We were both kind of cheating on

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: baseball last night. You with football met with hockey with

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: my Toronto Maple Leafs. But let's get into the action.

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: My friend, I was more than cheating. I was in

29
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: a whole other relationship. I mean it was Mormon style

30
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: last night with me in the NFL draft. But I

31
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 2: rested all morning and I'm back at it again and

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: we're here to talk baseball today. And if you missed it,

33
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: go back and watch our coverage on Fantasy Pros because

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: it was awesome. Debro, Fitzie Bogman, Russell Brown, everybody just

35
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: so good on that show. Andrew Erickson. It was a

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: great fun evening of football, of posturing, of the take

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: on the picks. All the other stuff is up there too,

38
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: in terms of the breakdowns and the short clips from

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: the video, so go check all of it out. It

40
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: was fantastic, and of course we're back at it again

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: tonight six point thirty. Join us. I'll be there, Believe me,

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: somehow I will make it. Let's get to the baseball talk. Though,

43
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: because we've got a lot to go on, and specifically

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: we got to talk about some pitchers. The good the bad.

45
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: That was last night Thursday the Royals. Cole Reagan's was

46
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: struggling a little bit yesterday, kind of around the corners

47
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: of the strike zone. Short start. Everybody had high expectations

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: because it was against the Rockies and everybody wants a

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: big strikeout total against the Rockies. But unfortunately it was

50
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: not to be for Cole Reagan's. Not only did he struggle,

51
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: but he came out of the game early with groin tightness.

52
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: Now we don't have any updates as of yet on this,

53
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: but the good news is always well it's not an

54
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: arm thing, so that's good. Maybe he just didn't have

55
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: it yesterday. Maybe that groin issue was bothering him from

56
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: the bullpen on. It's hard to tell, but Joe Rico,

57
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 2: whenever you have an ace have an issue, especially coming

58
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: out in a game that looked like a slam dunk

59
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: for productivity, that's always a huge bummer.

60
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's two in a row for Reagans as well,

61
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: because the previous start lasted only four innings five and

62
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: runs in three walks at Detroit so it's two starts

63
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: where you figure he would have done well that he disappointed. Now.

64
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how much to read into the groin injury.

65
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 3: It's a good thing that it's not arm four armed

66
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: shoulder related, but I think we just kind of have

67
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: to wait and see here. But I will say that

68
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: everything below the surface for Reagans looks really good as

69
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 3: long as he gets a clean bill of health here.

70
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: If that four to forty era is scaring the guy

71
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 3: who has Reagan's in your league, I would throw in

72
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: an offer because I think that he's gonna be fine

73
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: at the end of the day.

74
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: Speaking of offers, m Rich is joining us today, first

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: time Prime subscriber. Shout out to em Rich joining us

76
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: here live on Twitch, twitch dot Tv Slash Fantasy Pros.

77
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: First time liver. We love all when you guys gin

78
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: us live for the first time. About three weeks ago,

79
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 2: I propose a trade, giving away Langford and Max Meyer

80
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: for Schwellenbach. The guy never responded to it and I

81
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: completely forgot about it. I woke up this morning to

82
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: a notification that the traded process. Should I let this

83
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: ruin my Friday? Or is there room to be hopeful? Richie,

84
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: this is on you, baby. You gotta know the trade

85
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: offers you have and you got to be aware of

86
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: them and if you want to pull them away. Look,

87
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: schwan Bach is terrific, so you know, I don't want to.

88
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: And Max Meyer has I think pitched over his head

89
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: just to Tad Why at Langford since he's come back

90
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: from the injury, has raked though. Do I love this

91
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: trade for you?

92
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: No?

93
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: I don't think you should ruin your Friday, Joe Rico.

94
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: But a lesson learned a hard lesson to here from

95
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: rich which is if you send out trade proposals, you

96
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: better be aware and honestly you make sure that within

97
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: twenty four hours forty eight hours you pull that thing,

98
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: because you never know when somebody gets hurt and the

99
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: last thing you want is to get stuck with players

100
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: that are injured. So, Joe, any other advice you want

101
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: to give to RICHI here.

102
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: On this one, Well, yeah, I wouldn't let it ruin

103
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 3: your week or your weekend or anything. It's not amazing,

104
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: but it's really not the end of the world. Schwellenbach

105
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: could still be an sp one this year. He has

106
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: ace like ceiling to him. Max Meyer is very good.

107
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: Langford is fantastic, but it's not like you traded you know,

108
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: two first rounders and got back a sixth rounder or something.

109
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: It's not amazing, but it's not the end of the

110
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: world either.

111
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to another question here. I believe

112
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 2: I'm saying this right, el Ciba Cruz. I have four

113
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: short stops, Willia, Thomas, Turner, Pishett and Pania. Thoughts on

114
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: who I should start benjer Uses utility or drop maybe

115
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: for rest of season, and now that Snell won't play

116
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: for a bit, I replace him with somebody like, uh Myers,

117
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: Casey mys or even Rope. Uh so, uh, what do

118
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: you want to do here with all these shortstops here? Rupe?

119
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: Excuse me?

120
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: So Willie Domis, you probably have to hold because it doesn't.

121
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: Mean Max Meyer. Is Max Meyer the one floating out there?

122
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: Because he says Myers out here.

123
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: I would imagine it could be Jake Myers maybe, but.

124
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: It says m Myers. Why I assume you mean Max Meyer.

125
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: If Max Meyer is out there, I want to pick

126
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: him up. So I'm fine dropping somebody here. Casey Myes,

127
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: I'm fine dropping too. You can never have enough pitching,

128
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: especially if you have snell, I think you want to

129
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: cover your basis. So who would you drop out of this?

130
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: I would assume Penya is the first guy off the island, right, I.

131
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: Guess it would have to be. But Penya is really good,

132
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: really underrated, having a solid start of the year. I

133
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: would probably see if I can pull off some kind

134
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: of trade, try and trade Turner Basheki. If you're trading

135
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 3: the damis you're selling low right now. I would kind

136
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: of explore the trade market see if you're getting back

137
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: a decent offer for either of those two, because dropping

138
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: any of them is going to be kind of tricky.

139
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: I think if you had to drop one, gun to

140
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: the head is probably painia, but I would try and

141
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: explore a trade there first if you can.

142
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like shallow league problems right here. This

143
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: reeks of that to me, So I'm gonna say, uh,

144
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: it's Max Meyer here, Uh pick him up? Drop Hania.

145
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: It sucks, but I don't know. I mean, Doma's value

146
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: is pretty low right now, so that's pretty tricky. Let's

147
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: get to another pitching performance from yesterday. Jacob de Gram

148
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: no decision, allow two runs, five and a third, six strikeouts,

149
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: against the Athletics on Thursday. So you've been the biggest

150
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 2: Jacob de Gram guy. So this is the first time

151
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: you and I have gotten to talk in season about him.

152
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: I know you talked about a little bit the Welsh

153
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: when I was not around last week. So what do

154
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: you give Jacob de Gram? So far as April's coming

155
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: to a close, in terms of a grade on.

156
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 3: His return, it's been a little bit lesser than I

157
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: expected just in terms of the strikeouts, but a three

158
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 3: thirty three ERA, a one zero seven whip. He's got

159
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: the strike up minus walk right up to seventeen percent.

160
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: And he's had a couple of tricky matchups recently, going

161
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: into Oakland or going into that I did it again.

162
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: Going into the Athletics ballpark has been pretty tricky. Their

163
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: offense has been very good. He just faced the Dodgers

164
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: and did well. So I've been overall pretty encouraged. That

165
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: started against Seattle wasn't great. That was the one where

166
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: you were kind of hoping for a massive, massive start

167
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: out of him. But by and large, it's been pretty

168
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: pretty solid. He's kind of learning how to pitch at

169
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: a lower velocity, trying to keep himself healthy, this year.

170
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: I'm not really concerned. I was a little bit after

171
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: the first couple starts, but he's kind of set my

172
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: worries at ease.

173
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: This is really funny too. I'm looking at this in

174
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: the chat, and by the way, it was I believe

175
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: Max Meyer, So we got clarity on that, young Madge

176
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: or Meige. I don't like you say it. I drafted

177
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: my girlfriend's team because I needed one more team for

178
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: my twelve team league, and her team is way better

179
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: than mine. I knew this would happen. That is hilarious.

180
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: That is brilliant. I love that. So you better give

181
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: her the championship. I mean, it's our team. If she's

182
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: managing it. If it's just like a ghost team, that's

183
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: not great. But whatever. Corman Burns three runs, one earned,

184
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: struck out eight five and a thirds, but no decision

185
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: for him. That was kind of a bummer. I thought

186
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: we'd get a w there with Burns on the mound.

187
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: So Burns has been a guy that's concerned me. This

188
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: is a good outing for him in terms of strikeouts,

189
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: for sure. So any takeaways from Burns performance last night, Joe, he.

190
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: Still kind of worries me overall. Last night was probably

191
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: his best start of the season. He did walk three batters,

192
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: which I don't love to see. But overall he has

193
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: been trending in the right direction. I just still when

194
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: you look at the year over year strikeout rate trends,

195
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: if you look at those era estimators, his whip is

196
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: still at one thirty five. Everything has kind of been

197
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: trending in the wrong direction. So I think I'm kind

198
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: of in the cell camp for Corbyn Burns. I'm not

199
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: really that confident. If you can get another sp one

200
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: back for him, I'd probably be doing that. Not to

201
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 3: say that you have to sell him. Things are going

202
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 3: to be awful, but I'm a little bit worried about

203
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: what to expect going forward.

204
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 2: Another question here from m sylv maximyer Andrew Painter pro

205
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: Crochet and a twelve team Auction Points League. Look, I mean,

206
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 2: what do you yeah, like you want Crochet, like right,

207
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: that's what you're saying.

208
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 3: Yes, if you can get Crochet for those to do it,

209
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 3: cause the show and go do it right now and

210
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: come back and keep listening.

211
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: I don't even pause the show just he could do that. Yeah,

212
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, definitely Crochet over those guys, all right,

213
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: let's continue on here with another pitching performance. Tobias Myers

214
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: back for the Brewers, no decision against the Giants yesterday

215
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 2: in his twenty twenty five debut, two runs, four hits

216
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: over four innings of work. Myers another piece of this rotation.

217
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna get Woodrof hopefully back. I would think in

218
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: the days ahead, maybe even as soon as next week.

219
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: That's encouraging. I think the Brewers make a run here.

220
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: I do not believe in the Cubs. You know that, Joe.

221
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: I've said it before. I think the Cubs have a

222
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: lot of issues that are underlying that are going to

223
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: rear their ugly heads sooner or later. I think Justin

224
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: Steele is a loss you cannot fathom to have right

225
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: now and stay in this thing over one hundred and

226
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: sixty two games. So Myers last night back, what's his

227
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: value rest of season? Is he a spot starter for

228
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: you and matchups and he's somebody you're just leaving in

229
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: the back end of your rotation.

230
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: I played in a lot of deeper leagues, and then

231
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: anything that's deeper than twelve teams, I think that he

232
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 3: should be rostered. I think in twelve teamers he's kind

233
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: of a borderline guy where he could be rostered in

234
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 3: some leagues. Last year he was really solid, like a

235
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: one to seventeen whip a three era solid, sixteen percent

236
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: strike up minus walk. He's a He's a very good pitcher.

237
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: I don't think the stealing is terribly high. So if

238
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: you're in a shallower league and you're seeing like a

239
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: Max Meyer or somebody like that on the waiver wire,

240
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: I would make that swap and kind of use him

241
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: as more of a streamer. But I'd also be perfectly

242
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: fine to keep him at the end of your bench

243
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: as your you know, six seventh eighth starting pitcher because

244
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: he is serviceable.

245
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: A lot of questions today, boobitch or all Kantara rest

246
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: of season, I'm going with Sandy here. Sorry, I know

247
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: Bloowhich has been great, but I'm gonna rely on the

248
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: guy come back from Tommy John who is still getting

249
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: a feelback from pitching, and I think once he gets

250
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: that feelback, we're in good shape. That's my opinion.

251
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: Plus, we're probably going to see him get dealt at

252
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: some point. You'd think think it's a very team friendly contract,

253
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: So maybe they don't, or maybe they're asking for too much.

254
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: But I think it is Sandy by a hair for

255
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: me as well, game.

256
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: Ova, Shota, Olson, Paris, Ben Rice for Kwan Cese Lozardo,

257
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: Wilmer Flores who won this trade A ten team head

258
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: to hen roto.

259
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: Shota, Olson, Paris and Ben Rice. That's a lot of

260
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: moving pieces.

261
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: Like the Kwan Ceas Lozardo side.

262
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: Personally, yeah, I think it's relatively even. I'm not. I

263
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: don't think there's like a huge winner or loser here.

264
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, man. I get kwans Olsen's a nice

265
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: power hitter, but Shota's underlying metrics have not been good

266
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: this year. Cease is a stud, Kuan's productive. Lozaro looks

267
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: like a frontline starter right now. Again, I like that

268
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: into this trade now. Flora is not going to keep

269
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: up this pace. So just so you know, you need

270
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 2: another first base option here, because I don't think that's

271
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: gonna take you very far. D's twelve team points Francisco Alvarez,

272
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 2: Kybert Ruiz or Augustine Ramirez. I'm going Alvarez here, Joe,

273
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: where are you going?

274
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: My My lenis kind of key bear in a in

275
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: a points lead, get doesn't strike out a lot. I

276
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: think that really is going to It depends on how

277
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: your points scoring system works, but I think it's key

278
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 3: bear for me. They're all relatively close. But Augustine Ramirez

279
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 3: is pretty exciting.

280
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: Joe, he is exciting, But I think that Mets lineup

281
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 2: is pretty exciting too when it's going to get going completely.

282
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: And Alvarez looked better this spring. I like the adjustments

283
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: he made to the batting stance. I think we could

284
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 2: I mean again, we forgets Galalvarez was there for the bat.

285
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: You know how much as a hand worry you, how

286
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: much is the hands stuff were you well?

287
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: So it should worry a little bit. But at the

288
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: same time, the fact that he's back so soon tells

289
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: me that it was a minor sort of issue. It

290
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: was a minor fracture. It wasn't to the extent of

291
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: like back in the day. Remember Pablo Sandoval had the

292
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: same thing and he was never the same player, and

293
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: he was out for a long period of time. He

294
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: was out for months with that handmate, So I think

295
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: might have been a much lower end version of that.

296
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: Should wonder if we stash in a ten team league

297
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: on al absolutely go do that, right now again, right now,

298
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: that's why we want you to do all these things.

299
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: Let's do the rookie lookie, feel good moment. Matt Gorski

300
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: solo homer yesterday in his major league debut. Fun fact

301
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: there too, he was saying that his first at bat

302
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: in every single level of the Major League except Triple

303
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: A was a home run. In terms of his first hint,

304
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: that was pretty cool. Now he's twenty seven years old,

305
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: he's got some power. It's a nice story. Whether it's

306
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: fantasy relevant, I don't know. But he was slashing three

307
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: hundred and three to twenty five five twenty nine with

308
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: three homers, fourteen rubies, two steals in seventy seven played appearances. Look,

309
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 2: the Pirates need help. I don't know if he's a

310
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: streamer even in a deep league, Joe, but I mean

311
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: it was at least a feel good moment. Is there

312
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: anything else you want to give to Gorsky here from

313
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: his fun debut for the Pirates yesterday.

314
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: He's kind of a career minor league here. He's been

315
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: kicking around for a long time. I have a bad lineup.

316
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 3: I don't think there's much here really. If you're in

317
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: like an NL only league. Maybe you take a chance

318
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 3: on him, but I think the majority of players can

319
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: just ignore this.

320
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,160

359
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: expertise to say bring it on. In this segment, we're

360
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: going to spot yet again, give a spotlight to Rafield Devers,

361
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: who yesterday when a big alf fat zero for four

362
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: with two strikeouts is fifth straight hitless game. This is

363
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: a challenge for fantasy managers because Raffaeld Devers historically is

364
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: a very good player. He's also coming off massive shoulder surgery.

365
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: He also was not in shape coming into spring training,

366
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: did not have the normal spring training. We've seen that

367
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: effect players before very often when they don't have their

368
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: normal routine. He is learning a new position, which is

369
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: dh many great hitters, even healthy ones in their prime,

370
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: can struggle sometimes with that transition. We've seen it time

371
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: and time again. Yet everybody wanted to say, hey, everything's

372
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: fine after a couple home runs one day against the

373
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: Saint Louis Cardinals, and now here we are back again

374
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: with a guy who is basically crushing your fantasy team.

375
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: So what do you do? You find a solution. You

376
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: find somebody that looks at Raffaeld Devers in your league

377
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: and says, oh what a great bylow it Devors is

378
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: going to come back. I tried to tell you once before,

379
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm worried about him rest of season. Nobody wanted to

380
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: hear the bad news. Nobody wanted to hear me sing

381
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: the blues. But unfortunately the song that's being sung right

382
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: now for Raffield Devers, it's a sad one if you

383
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: have them in any fantasy league. So if you can

384
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: get out, get out, because I don't see it getting

385
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: better anytime soon in twenty twenty five. Maybe I'm wrong,

386
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: but the problem is even if it does turn around,

387
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: will be too late for your fantasy team. That is

388
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 2: the challenge that's facing everybody who's got Raffield Devers. And

389
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 2: don't worry because Microsoft is going to help you with

396
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: time so far in twenty twenty five, Let's go to

397
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: the ups and down zach netto go ahead, Homer in

398
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: the eighth inning. That was great to see McKenzie Gore

399
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: another quality start, eight more strikeouts for him against the

400
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: Orioles and Michael Lorenzen outstanding in his game seven strike

401
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: outs and six innings. But let's go to Gore, who's

402
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: leading the league in strikeouts right now. I gotta say

403
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: I looked at Gore as an interesting late round pick

404
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: there in rotations. I wish I had more shares Joe

405
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 2: because in a lot of mock drafts I had him.

406
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: But right now currently leading the league in strikeouts. So

407
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 2: is Gore sustainable here as one of the top guys

408
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: on the board at sp or Is this eventually going

409
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: to regress somewhere else?

410
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 3: It's really dependent on his command, I think, because we've

411
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: seen the walk rate get down to the six percent range.

412
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: The big thing with Mackenzie Gore is that he's always

413
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 3: been a whip killer one forty seven, one forty two

414
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: in his career, and a good chunk of that is

415
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 3: due to the twelve nine and a half and nine

416
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: percent walk rates we've seen. But if he's in the

417
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 3: six percent range, he can really he can really live

418
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: there with success. As the strikeout bump, I think it's

419
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 3: legitimate to a certain extent. Do I think he's going

420
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: to be in the mid thirties the high thirties, No,

421
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 3: because no one really does that. But he can be

422
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: like a twenty eight twenty nine percent strikeout rate guy

423
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 3: as long as the come out and is good. I

424
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: think Mackenzie Gore is that worse the top twenty five,

425
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: top thirty starting pitcher. What do you think where would

426
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 3: you rank him?

427
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: I would definitely say top thirty. And the strikeouts are

428
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: for real Now, some of the matchups he's had this

429
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: year to have been a little bit more favorable too,

430
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 2: So I'm fascinating to see what he has more games

431
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: like the you know, the Mets are coming to town

432
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: this weekend, right, Like, you know, he's not going to

433
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: face them, unfortunately, but he's going to eventually face some

434
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: of these better lineups, right, more Braves, more Phillies, more

435
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: Mets in this in this schedule that's laying ahead of him.

436
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm fascinating to see how he does. If he handles

437
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: those lineups well, then I think we can really look

438
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 2: at Gore saying he's finally made that jump. That's my

439
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: take on Mackenzie Gore. But right now, man, you gotta

440
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: love the productivity you're getting. He's got more than fifty

441
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: strikeouts already and we're not even in May. The downs

442
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 2: for me yesterday Drew Rasmusen four runs, five innings. Thursday,

443
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 2: no decision against the Dbacks, Chase de Lander rough against

444
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: the Royals, five runs, seven hits, four and two thirty.

445
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet gave up four runs and five innings in

446
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 2: a lot lost to the Mariners. Now he did have

447
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: nine strikeouts, but he also walked five guys season high

448
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten pitches. And Welsh is not here today,

449
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: but we do have a videotaped response to share with

450
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 2: you for Mike Mayer's earlier two Mondays ago dropping some

451
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: Croche love maybe a little hate from the Welsh. Let's

452
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 2: take a look.

453
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 8: Happy Friday, America, or should I say Happy Friday everyone?

454
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 5: Wow?

455
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 8: But Mike Mayer.

456
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 9: Happy Monday to everybody except Welsh. And I say that

457
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 9: on behalf of Garrett Crochet, who went out there on

458
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 9: Sunday and shoved And when I say shoved, I mean

459
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 9: shoved it in Welsh's face, because Welsh came on here

460
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 9: last week trashing Garrett Crochet. I'm worried about Garrett Crochet.

461
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 9: He doesn't look great, he doesn't have the fastball, the

462
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 9: change up doesn't look good.

463
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: Hmm.

464
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 8: Well, this one goes out to all the truth seekers

465
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 8: and the inquisitors on the pot cast because I want

466
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 8: you to learn and be better, and I want to

467
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 8: ask the big questions. I don't want to silence you

468
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 8: like Mike Mayer wants you to ask no questions. He

469
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 8: wants to be the be all, end all, the commander

470
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 8: and chief of fantasy baseball. Dare I say the dictator

471
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 8: of fantasy baseball. It's truly disheartening that someone is not

472
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 8: willing to just look a little bit further. I want

473
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 8: to give you the tools to ask the big questions,

474
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 8: not silence them. And Garrett Crochet brought more questions to

475
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 8: the table that may try to be silenced. This last

476
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 8: start wasn't no hit or ESQ. Was it one hundred

477
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 8: and ten pitches over five innings or earned runs which

478
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 8: gave up in the first two innings and five walks.

479
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 8: Fastball command was barely over fifty percent, all the other

480
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 8: pitches under fifty percent. Cutter wasn't cutting strikeouts, weren't striking.

481
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 8: He just doesn't seem right now. Maybe it's just the

482
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 8: first month and things are cold, maybe it's nothing at all,

483
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 8: or maybe also he's changing as a picture in a

484
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 8: hitter friendly environment, throwing more sinkers, which is creating more

485
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 8: contact and getting less whiffs. I don't know. I love

486
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 8: the guy, but I did think things seemed a little

487
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 8: bit off. But Mike, I got an idea here, since

488
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 8: we had so much fun with the name game before

489
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 8: when Garrett Crochet almost threw a no hitter and then we're.

490
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: Like, oh, oh, it's so hilarious.

491
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 8: I got a name for you, So let's do it

492
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 8: after this start. Let's go Mike, but let's take the

493
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 8: last name CALLI. Let's go Meh meh little baby he

494
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 8: or Mike meh.

495
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: Er in the chat.

496
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 8: Can I get some mets in the chat? I think

497
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 8: we can.

498
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 5: Wow.

499
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: Uh that was a good time. Incredible production value as well.

500
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: Shout out to Michael Kelly and the rest of our

501
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 2: crew here for putting that together, especially the turnaround on

502
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 2: draft day. That was pretty great. I see them as

503
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 2: coming out there in the chat already. Who has more

504
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: fun than us? Joe Rico? I mean, really, you know,

505
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 2: baseball shows can be very boring, can be very stale.

506
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 2: Nobody has fun like we have fun around here.

507
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: We've kicked it up this year, man. I think having

508
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: the live producer really just takes the show to a

509
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 3: whole other level. This year, it's fantastic. I mean it's

510
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: only April and we're already we're already killing it.

511
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, people don't realize that I used to produce the

512
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: show as hosting it at the same time. It's a

513
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: lot going on. It's a lot going on, so having

514
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: the team behind us certainly does help. That was a

515
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 2: fantastic I can't wait to see the next good start

516
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: from Garret Crochet and then the salvo back from Mike Mehertt.

517
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good time eventually. Maybe get those

518
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: two crazy kids together. Let's talk injuries. So Kumar Rocker,

519
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: we were crushing yesterday and saying, well, he's probably gonna

520
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: get sent down. Well he got sent to the injured

521
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: list instead. Right shoulder impingement. So Joe Rico, I assume

522
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: this is a real injury. I assume also lighters going

523
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 2: to take a spot in the rotation like we thought yesterday.

524
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: But Kumar Rocker has been a volatile stock, to say

525
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: the least. So far in twenty twenty five.

526
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: He's been brutal. Like the strikeouts aren't there. He's not

527
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 3: walking anybody, which is something that I was a little

528
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: bit concerned about. Five percent walker, but he's a one

529
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 3: to seven to five whipon an eight ten era. A

530
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: lot of the supporting metrics suggests that it should be better.

531
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 3: But he's getting barreled up twelve percent of the time

532
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 3: more than fifty percent of the time. It's a hard hit,

533
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 3: lots of homers, lots of everything bad. It's I think

534
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 3: you might have been right, Joe. I think that they

535
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: should put him in the pen. Put him in the

536
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: ninth inning.

537
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: Clean ninth inning, young guy innings situation. Mason Miller was

538
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 2: the blueprint, folks, and I talked about it with Mason

539
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: Miller the year before they moved him to the bullpen. Hey,

540
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 2: Rocker should be a closer, just saying it's pretty easy.

541
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: Life or death has a question here before we get

542
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: more injuries. Got offered Sandy job and Ti Oscar for

543
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: WU and PCA, who's been red hot right now. The

544
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 2: problem is my staff is Snell's strike. Mclaahan de gram yikes,

545
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: so you could use some pitching help. WU is a

546
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: good starter, though PCA playing out of his mind. Whould

547
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: you take this deal in life or death situation?

548
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 3: I think the sandy side is where I would prefer

549
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 3: to go sandy. Like we've talked about earlier, I think

550
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be fine. They Oscar batting forth

551
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 3: to the Dodgers is in a fantastic spot, and even

552
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: though job hasn't been striking guys out, the performance has

553
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: been really good.

554
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: With Wu.

555
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: I worry about his ability to pitch a whole season

556
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: in PCA. I think it's a good time to kind

557
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: of explore a cell high on him. So I would

558
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: take the trio.

559
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think what he's doing is sustainable. Good adjustments.

560
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: He's made certainly a great second half last year, very

561
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: hard nose player. I like him, but at the same time, unsustainable.

562
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying about sodis from too Some things

563
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 2: are just unsustainable, Tommy Edmond unsustainable. The Mets activated Jeff

564
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: McNeil from the Tendail. They said, Baity to Syracuse, no

565
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: surprise there. Look for Louis Angelecune, though, start playing some

566
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 2: center field. I'm telling it's gonna happen real soon. So

567
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: let's see what happens. To say with that lineup, looks

568
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: like Royce Lewis begins a rehab assignment today in Triple A.

569
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: Yay coming back from the hamstring. So over under games

570
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: played before he goes on the ale again. I will

571
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: set the number at seven and a half, Joe Rico,

572
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: you want to go over.

573
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: Under, Oh man, I'll go over, but not by a lot.

574
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: If you'd set it like eleven and a half, I

575
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 3: would have had to.

576
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: Really, that was the first number in my head and

577
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: I was like, no, that's too many. It's too many,

578
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: it's too many games. Next up here, Willie Castro goes

579
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: on the IL as well with the oblique strain, so

580
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: can't catch a break for the Twinkies. The Rays put

581
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: Jake Mangum on the ten day ill with a groinstring,

582
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 2: and the Nationals activated CJ Abrams from the ten day IL.

583
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 2: So that brings us Joey to our fun part of

584
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: the show. It's time.

585
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: You know what to do, right, Hope, you know what

586
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 3: to oh?

587
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 7: I know.

588
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: It's time for the best bets of the day with

589
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: Joey p and Joe Rico, and today I'm gonna go

590
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: look at Code I Sengo, who's been awesome. Let's go

591
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: over sixteen and a half outs recorded, minus one fourteen.

592
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: Code Senga's ghost fourth ball looks for real. He looks

593
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: the sharpest he ever has in the major leagues. At

594
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 2: times in his career he was walking too many, but

595
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: now it feels like he is really settling into the

596
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: identity of the pitcher that we thought he might become,

597
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: and that could be an ace in fantasy. So Senga

598
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 2: looks terrific. Good matchup for him. Nats are tough, but

599
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: I think he can get through them for seventeen outs today.

600
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: Andrew Abbott five and a half strikeouts for him, Let's

601
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: take the over. Another good matchup there on the other side,

602
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: so minus one fourteen, let's take the over. Abbot's been

603
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: very good again, a good matchup for him tonight. And

604
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz, I'm doing it again. Let's take Nick Kurtz

605
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 2: to hit a home run and the a's on the

606
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: money line. The Athletics at minus one fourteen together. Actually

607
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 2: that number is higher than that. That number is plus

608
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: six fifty, So apologies there. I was gonna say minus

609
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 2: one fourteen. That's not right. Plus six point fifty it's wrong.

610
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: Michael Cally's tired from all the draft stuff. So Nick

611
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: Kurtzomer Athletics money line. You put those two things together,

612
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: you get plus six fifty. It's a huge risk and

613
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 2: a huge reward. It's Friday. Let's have some fun. Joe Rico,

614
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: walk us through your best bets for the day. I

615
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: did Ron Burgundy myself there, which is weird because I

616
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 2: know what everything is. I put my bets in and

617
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: still I still self Burgundy. That's crazy. I can't believe

618
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: I did that. I'm tired. Last night was a long night.

619
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 2: We didn't get finished till midnight. So Joe Rico, what

620
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: do you have here for the folks on a fun Friday?

621
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: You definitely get a pass, Joe. So let's start with

622
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 3: Shane Bozz going up against the Padres, who don't really

623
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: strike out, which is where I'm going with this one

624
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 3: under five and a half strikeouts to the padres're striking

625
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: out less than any team in baseball to this point,

626
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: and I think we're gonna shade to the under there.

627
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: Cal Quantrell, this is funny. It's logan Gilbert, who may

628
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 3: be the best pitcher in baseball right now, cal Quantrell,

629
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: who might be the worst, will be facing up against

630
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 3: each other tonight. But I'm taking Cayl Quantrell over two

631
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: and a half walks. You're getting that at plus one ten.

632
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: The Mariners walk more than any team in baseball almost

633
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: twelve percent of the time. In Quantrell, as we know

634
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 3: he's kind of prone to the walks seventeen innings, nine

635
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: walks this year in a whip over too no bueno

636
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: whatsoever there, So I'm taking that at plus money. And

637
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 3: then Hayden west Neski, who I've kind of been in

638
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: on as a breakout this season, goes up against the Royals,

639
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: who don't really strike out a ton. But at four

640
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: and a half it's a low line app plus money.

641
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: I'm really liking that. So Shane Ba's under strikeouts, Kla

642
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 3: Quantrill over walks, Hayden west Neski over strikeouts as well.

643
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,120

Speaker 2: minus one twenty two the Nick Kurtz did I give

664
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: a big enough pause in between home runs? Plus money line?

665
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: See what I did there? Plus six fifty? I can't believe.

666
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: I can't believe that Salvo even had to go out though,

667
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: So stupid anyway, let's look at the home run board

668
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: because there was no movement. Everybody took a night off nothing.

669
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: Sammy Sosa Jersey still available on our Discord Fantasypros dot

671
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: boy by calling the most home runs this year. I've

672
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 2: decided to wake the Beast this weekend. Anthony santander A

673
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: going into little tiny, little iby bitty Yankee Stadium. Oh,

674
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: it's so cute. It's show a door about Yankee Stadium.

675
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: I want to pinch your cheeks. You're so cute. Here's

676
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: so cute Yankee Stadium. Who likes to give up offense?

677
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 5: You do?

678
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: Anthony's and Endre is not just due, he's overdue. Let's

679
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: wake the beast. So that's just for you. Joe Rico

680
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: in honor of hanging out with my favorite Canadian Joe,

681
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: where do you want to go for your home run

682
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: call this week?

683
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: Or?

684
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: Should I say Friday?

685
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 3: At least I'm gonna go with mister Colonel Kurtz himself,

686
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: Nick Kurtz there, Yeah, on Burke going up in in

687
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: that I was gonna say Oakland again in Sacramento in

688
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 3: that little ballpark again. We're targeting the small ballparks, the

689
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 3: header friendly environments. That ballpark has been playing like, you know,

690
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: warm course field so far this year, so warm. I'll

691
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: take it. Henna, he's gonna get his first, I should say, humid.

692
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 3: I guess it's Friday. He's gonna go yard today against

693
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 3: Sean Burke. I'm feeling it. First career homer plus six

694
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 3: hundred or plus six fifty, depending on your book. I

695
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 3: like it.

696
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: I like it too. And this is what I kept saying.

697
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 2: You know, you get the a's money line on top

698
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: of this. You know you can parlay it into bigger odds.

699
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: But the best part is about this is that Joe

700
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: Rico and Joe Piezap are both on Nick Kurtz in

701
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: the home run today, and you're thinking the same, which

702
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: is Sean Burke is basically triple A pitching, and he's

703
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: been killing Triple A pitching. And then once we get

704
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: past Sean Burke, then we get some opportunities in that ballpen.

705
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: And I think we're gonna get past Sean Berke probably

706
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 2: around four and two thirds. So I like the chances

707
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: for Nick Kurtz today to finally get on the board here,

708
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 2: which would be very exciting. I want to thank all

709
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: the Peanuts and cracker Jacks for joining us today and

710

Speaker 2: more stuff dropping on YouTube. Subscribe to the YouTube channel.

712
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: I want to get questions in here too before we go,

713
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 2: because we've got a bunch of them. Let's go to

714
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: the serve. Butter do I drop Tyler Holton or Tennor?

715
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: How to activate bell off the IR? Joe?

716
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: Probably Tyler Holton, I think, O tell you what are

717
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 3: you thinking?

718
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: I agree with I think Holton's the way I would go.

719
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: Here's another one from Laser. Appreciate the advice I was

720
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: offered Alvarez from my Langford A boy, oh boy.

721
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 3: Keeping Langford personally wow, But jord On has not been

722
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: amazing this year. I think it's the opposite trajectories. I mean,

723
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 3: Langford has his own injury concerns with the oblique, but

724
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 3: you're it on every year has to miss time. I

725
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 3: think it's just a guy who's heading upwards or the

726
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 3: guy who's kind of heading downward. I don't think it's

727
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: a massive gap between them. But me personally, if it

728
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 3: was my team, I'm taking Langford.

729
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: I gotta say man, I'm hard pressed to turn away Alvarez.

730
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 2: I know Langford's played very well. I think it depends

731
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 2: on the format. I didn't see what the format was.

732
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: I don't think he put it on there, but I

733
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: would say most likely, like I know what you know, Alvarez,

734
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: not get me steals like I get that, and I

735
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: know what Langford's ceiling is. But I also seen the

736
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 2: floor of Langford too. I've also seen a struggle for

737
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: long periods of time. So until he puts it all together,

738
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm still an Alvarez guy. But that could be wrong,

739
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: so there's definitely some volatility there in that one. It

740
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: was a great week of shows everybody, and I also

741
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,800
