WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off September 15th, 2022 (Ep. 596) 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.760 Welcome in Brendos. Leading off starts right now. I am 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.319 your host, Chris Welsh. Of course it's always been me. 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.560 And look at that with power and all lights on 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.680 camera action. It's Bubba in the house. Bubba. We missed 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:28.560 you earlier this week. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.160 I missed being here. I felt I felt bad, but 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:32.640 I had no control over the situation. 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.200 I was pretty pretty bummed about it. But we're back. 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.080 I get to join you guys on a Thursday this 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.320 week and have some fun chatting up with my friend 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:39.760 the Welsh. 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.280 We had the stinky old bogman on the show. 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.000 My brother from another mother. You know, if he's kept 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:47.320 his head and shaved, well, we good to go. 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.720 Yeah, that'd be good. He should do I'd like him 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:54.320 to do. Uh just yeah, that'd be adorable. You'd be 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:58.360 really funny, be Adorable's definitely look at it. We all 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.120 we got all the happenings around base ball for you today. 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:06.120 And of course number one is Julio is the best, 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:10.319 the best. But I love Julio Rodriguez, so do you. 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.680 We all do, and friends, he just continues to go 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.479 and what else? What else can be said about Huli 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.720 Rodriguez blasted a lead off Homer swiped a base on 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.200 Wednesday as the Mariners won six to one. Now, twenty 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.720 six homers, twenty five stolen bases, and we've got some 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.080 fun notes here. Here were some fun facts from Sarah 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.479 Langs two. Julio Rodriguez is the first player on MLB 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:36.039 history with twenty five homers and twenty five stolen bases 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:40.280 in his first MLB season. The other two rookies to 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:45.160 do it had debuted the year prior and twenty five 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.440 homer twenty four twenty five stolen bases in a rookie season. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.320 Going to that was Mike Trout in twenty twelve and 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.000 Chris Young the Arizona Diamondbacks in two thousand and seven. 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:02.040 Huleo is the best. BU love Julio. How much do 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:02.760 we love Julio? 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:04.680 A ton, a ton And it's fun. 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.600 I did an early draft a few weeks ago for 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.480 twenty twenty three, and he went I. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.760 Believe it was fifth overall, fourth overt Yeah. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.239 Well, it's a draft Champions League for twenty twenty three 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.880 on n FBC, and we did the first seven rounds 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.720 and I wanted him very badly. I got the six 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.840 pick and he went right before me. I think he's 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.119 legit as it comes, like legit thirty thirty type guy. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:25.800 He's amazing. 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.960 It's gonna be fun because I could even if he 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.800 keeps doing this, there's gonna be conversation of like a 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.760 top one or two pick by certain leagues. 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:33.560 It's gonna be fun. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.880 Yeah, I mean, I mentioned my as far as my 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.480 dynasty ranks go, I moved him to number one overall. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:40.600 And that's the last thing I've got to do is 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.320 actually sort all of my redraft players on like an 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:49.000 overall list, and Julio is in that consideration for sure. 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.560 But he continues to just go nuts to think. He 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.359 has an interesting thing too, where he's like, I don't 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.040 consider myself a rookie, and it's like, well, you know, 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.320 you can't even rent a car, and you're the best 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.800 player on the planet right now. You you barely are 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.480 able to stay out past midnight and drink. But you 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.000 are a kid. You are a rookie. But yeah, you 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.120 are maybe one of the best players in baseball. And 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.480 sometimes those things just coincide with each other, so Mariners 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.480 win games. Julio Rodriguez continues to go and it's really 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.800 been a great spot for any betting stuff too, because hitting, 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.760 you know, at the top of the lineup just more 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.600 opportunities for a bat. So there you go. Gunnar Henderson 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.480 triple doubled and knocked in four as the Orioles vested 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:32.000 the National six to two on Wednesday. The locks were 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.800 flowing and he continues to ball out with the rookies. 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.520 You know, Corvin Carroll, I don't see this on this list. 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:42.080 Corbyn Carroll hit his third homer, which was he has 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:43.560 his knack, by the way, not to turn this into 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.960 Corbyn Carroll, he just a snack. When he hits the ball, 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.040 you just don't notice how far it's gonna go. It 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.320 kind of looks like this innocuous pop up and it's not. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.080 And Gunner and Corbin just kind of going blow for 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.080 blow right now. Probably the two leading candidates for a 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.240 Rookie of the Year for next season. But gun with 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.600 a big game and Corman Carroll with a big game 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:02.960 as well. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.640 Yeah, both monster games. Gunner, he's been a staple in 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.680 my DFS line up slate leakaus. He's been super cheap, 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.040 so I've been rolling that and he just continues to 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.600 produce and eventually they're gonna move them up in that 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.600 order you'd imagine at some point this season. But Carrol's 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.440 been great, and even seeing the replay, it's almost like 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:18.919 he didn't even think it was going to go out 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:20.760 last night, so he was kind of running and he's 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.000 kind of slowed down all of a sudden, they like, 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.200 oh now I can trot. So both these guys are 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.960 getting comfortable and they're starting to produce and a thing 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.960 of beauty watching all these young players every week, it 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.359 seems like we get a new batch, and it's been 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:32.880 pretty cool. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:38.520 Carol Barrel's baby Carol so far with three homers, no 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.640 still in bases, which is actually the biggest shock to 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.919 me of all of those because he but Lavello is 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.320 such a monster about running and stealing. Unless it's Jake McCarthy. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.000 Where McCarthy can go, he can steal home and by 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:51.880 the way, be safe but be called out and the 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.560 Diamondbacks win. That happened last night. McCarthy just has the 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.000 green light to do whatever the hell he wants. I 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:57.680 don't know if they're giving that to Carroll because he's 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.920 not stealing any bases. But three homers, two seventy three 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.480 batting average, so far twelve hits in this shorts and 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.160 only forty three at bats, but he's already got nine RBI. 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.320 Gunner hitting three twenty only one homer, but he's got 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.040 one stolen base, sixteen hits, nine RBI, four of which 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.040 came last night. Both have been very very good pushes 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.560 for you guys into the year, so into your playoff runs, 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.280 which is very very nice. I'll remind everybody if you 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.320 guys got any fantasy questions at the end, I will 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.159 I will kind of star them as we go and 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.680 we'll see if we can answer a few of these 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.200 questions whatever it is for the rest of the season. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.360 So just put them in the chat for the Peanuts 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.120 and the cracker Jacks and we will try to get 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:39.479 to it at the end of the episode. If you 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.520 have any Luis Castillo nine strikeouts over six scoreless frames 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.640 on Wednesday, defeating the Padres, earning his sixth victory of 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.440 the year, and that's another one of those guys. I 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:52.440 actually think Castillo and Gallon to me are like one 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.440 A one B of will be my most targeted mid 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.080 range pitchers next year. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.520 Yeah, They're gonna be fun because you know, everyone likes 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.720 to talk about making pictures early, get your races early. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.919 If you're not in that camp, you could legit start 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.839 with a Castillo or a Gallon and be cool with that. 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.520 Hopefully in round three. I don't know Castillo, I could 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.520 see creeping up in a deeper leagues in a round two, 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.720 so it'll be fun. But he's been a beast, got 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.640 out a great American small park. He's doing we thought 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.640 he would do walks her down, which is huge, but 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.960 he's just you know, taking advantage of real defense behind him, 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.400 and he's striking guys out and he's awesome. He's everything 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.360 we all thought he would be on a real team though. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.720 Yeah, by the way, I just like this. I just 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.159 like James's take on McCarthy. Just bro he was safe. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.159 He was safe, and he's an interesting article too. Not 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.880 to make it back about McCarthy, but just tabling back 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:42.080 here Arizona. An easy Central article out here talking about 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.919 how he's making it a tough situation for the Diamondbacks 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.080 and what they're going to have to do with how 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.640 they put it all together next season. But there's no 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.320 doubt he's going to be in there. And by the way, 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.000 a dead ringer for lip gallagher. If you ever watched Shameless, 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.960 he looks exactly like, yeah. 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:57.440 That's interesting. 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.080 That's a good comp now that I noticed that, because 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.720 I believe it was after the walk off you guys 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.880 had last night, you guys in Arizona. I believe Jake 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.719 jumped over the railing and had the locks kind of 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:08.240 going out there. 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.520 I believe it was Jake, and it was a good look, 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:10.920 very good. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.800 Then, so then go watch Shameless and you're like, oh, 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.000 McCarthy's in it, it's crazy. Let's watch Shameles because it's 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.240 a great show early the last season. Actually, I'm behind. 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.160 I haven't watched the last season, which I'm a little 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.559 bummed about. Not bad, was it not great? 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.880 It's it's well, it's never gonna be as good as 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:26.840 when the whole cast is there. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.600 Yeah, I mean, what's her name left? Yeah, I watched 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.280 that season, but yeah, sorry, yeah, all right. The last 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.920 of the big headlines, raise are activating Shae McClanahan from 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.120 the fifteen Day I l and he's already bat his 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.040 money and price is already back up there. Bubba. 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.600 Yeah. No, people are all aboard the SHANEA. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.440 Mack train as you'd expect, and they were kind of 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.880 playing down playing the injury. Looks like he's okay. If 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.600 he's good to go, then yeah, rock and Roll and 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.800 Shane O. Mack could be getting you some awards coming 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:56.480 the end of the season. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.240 I remember back in the day watching him cry on 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.280 his pitching coach's shoulder and how terrified it was, like, 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:04.600 Oh God, are we going to lose him? Are we 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.240 going to lose him? We didn't, thankfully on the injury front. 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.120 Luis Roberts still not in the White Sox lineup as 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.560 a Thursday against the Guardians. He's just perpetually never. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.800 See the White Sox realize they have an injured list. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.960 Is that like something that they just don't believe in 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.040 or is it only because Tim Anderson's on it we 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:21.800 can of other people. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:23.400 I'm really confused. 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.920 Yeah, you know with like, you know what, the biggest 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.640 nightmare of playing in September this and it's kind of 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.520 dead now of course, but like the biggest nightmare of 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.199 playing your fantasy baseball in December was when it went 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.600 to forty man rosters. No one would ever go on 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.760 the IL anymore because of the rosters. They would never 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.520 do it. And you were but now it's not. They 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.360 added like three roster spots, put him on the el 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.439 go ahead. It makes no Yeah, I don't know. I 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.959 don't it's not gonna hurt them. Maybe there's like some 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.960 contractual thing or something like that. I'm not one hundred 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.680 percent sure. Who the hell knows at this point. Seya 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.280 Suzuki heading for X rays on his left hand wrist 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.679 after being hit by a pitch during Wednesday's game against 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.800 the Men. That's you know, he's having an average pickup, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.320 but you know someone you could probably easily move through. Also, 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.559 X rays on an injured hand of Ree Hoskins came 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.800 back negative, which is great, but you know, the hand 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.480 injuries in general just make me worried. And you might 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.040 only have a week or so left, and you know, 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.560 if you're kind of slowly recovering from it, it might 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.240 be a zapp of power. So if you play in 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.040 a league, you know, I could throw Hoskins maybe on 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.120 the bench just monitor it, I suppose, but I would 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:27.840 be a little bit worried about it. And Luisa Rise 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.040 was pulled from Wednesday's contest against the Royals due to 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.840 left hamstring tightness. Would you be willing to pull the 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.960 plug on a Reese Hoskins right now with only like 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.839 a week and a half or two to go with it. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.320 Even if like he's like, hey, it's negative, he's going 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.880 to rest a day and come back, would you be 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:43.640 willing to pull the plug if there or something out there? 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.680 Not yet, but it's one of those where I don't 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.360 really have daily leagus. If you have daily leagues, it's 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.600 a lot more tricky. Like my moves come on Sunday, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.000 so I want to see some news the next couple 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.360 of days. But if he's not playing for the next 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.199 few days and it's still kind of a day to 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.160 day thing, possibly, it definitely would depend on. 0:09:59.080 --> 0:09:59.560 What's out there. 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.040 I'm not just for any willy nilly move, but if 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.440 it's something that could help me in the last couple 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:04.719 of weeks, yes, because it is that time of the 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.000 year you just start cutting ties. I made a joke 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.040 on a recent episode of my show that you almost 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:11.920 need to just like cover up names and just look 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.559 at what stats are best for what your team needs 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:14.360 are right now, and. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:15.520 That's all that matters anymore. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.240 So if that's the case, fine, But Reese has been 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.720 awesome this year, so it's tough to do. 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.520 Yeah, pictures sometimes make it a little bit tough. If 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.679 you have like a good picture that might miss a start. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.720 But then it's like in the championship week, you can 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.560 get that one big start can make a difference. But 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.760 it really is that case with hitters and chasing categories 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.280 and stuff like that. If you have a great power 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.679 team already and he's hurt and there's something out here 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.280 for sure, Yeah, but the big question always, Uh, these 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.280 blanket statements come out that hey, you can move on, 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.160 but it's dependent on what is out there. But just 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:44.840 letting you know that's one of them. But I do 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.160 like your idea of covering up the names. Let's talk 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.280 about some stat heroes. JT Realmuto two for four with 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.880 two homers. Yesterday, Radolfo Castro had a homer with four RBIs, 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:59.040 Julio Combo, Meal homer, stolen base, two runs with an RBI, 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.360 Gunner Henderson. As we mentioned how the four RBI, Mickey 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.240 moniac Love the homer in two rb Let's talk about 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.200 money at in a second. Oscar Gonzalez three for four 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.319 with a homer. Jonaheim had a home run, Riley Adams, 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.240 Mark Mathis and Sergia Alcantra with the walkoff homer for 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.640 the Diamondbacks. Let's talk about moniac then for a minute. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:17.080 What do you got? 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.480 I just love seeing it because it's the old you know, 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.720 top pick kind of flailed out the second he's been 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.000 traded to Anaheim. He was playing great, then he got hurt. 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.920 I've kind of he wasn't playing great. He's playing well, 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.199 he got hurt, and I felt bad for him. Like 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.080 he's getting regular run, looks kind of more confident at 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.280 the plate, comes back already, he gets the homer and 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.360 the double yesterday, he's leading off for the angel They're 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.200 gonna give him solid run the rest of the way here. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.599 I think it's good to see and you know, the 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.640 talent was there at one point time. You've probably seen 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.199 him in person potentially, and it's just I think this 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.280 is a really sneaky thing to keep an eye on 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.920 come next season that if he's starting for that team, 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.280 they need that player out in the outfield that can. 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.719 Do this and lead off, and that's a big, big 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:54.559 boom for him. 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:59.559 You know. The there's an interesting trade, uh overall with this, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.319 all those Philly guys going at the end of the 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:06.160 day seeing Moniac and like Logan o'hop if people pay attention, 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:10.120 and Logan ohop has been on another just world since 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.720 he's been traded from the Phillies over to the Angels. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.800 He looked like their top prospect right now. And both 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.520 of those guys kind of thriving with playing time if anything, 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.120 you know what marsh is kind of thriving as well. 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.600 And it worked out for everybody, Like everyone got kind 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.640 of a new look on life, and that's all it 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.360 takes sometimes, like is it's just not working out a 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:26.920 certain place. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.760 So it's funny, yeah, and Moniac might be a guy 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.559 you can ride out the rest of the year. The 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.319 chat's kind of like going on talking about the kind 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.120 of blinding yourself with the player's names. With McCarthy, we 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.360 see Oscar Gonzalez popping up. I think Moniac can kind 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.079 of fall into the same of like, you know, these 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:43.599 guys that you get out there that are going to 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.640 kind of get regular playing time through the rest of 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.720 this season. And it's interesting seeing, you know, Moniac succeed 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.520 and Adele still struggle. It really tooks a bigger story 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.880 about like what Adele's future probably looks like, which really 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.599 should be on another team like he would do that. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.439 Maybe he's the perfect example. Go go somewhere else, like 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.720 get new new lease on life, whatever. 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.080 Get get a hitting coach, get somewhere where they're really 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.839 gonna like work with them hard. 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.200 On Lasik eye surgery so you can find the strike zone. 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.280 I don't know, ever the hell you gotta do exact 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.640 like play the whiffle ball games so theotball is easy. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.880 You know something I always like to do in draft season, 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.599 I always tell people you want a great strategy for 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.040 being able to adjust to twelve man leagues, Go draft 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.000 some sixteen mans, do some sixteen mans, and then you're 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.160 gonna have like just a better take on it. Maybe 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.280 same thing with baseball. Go hit some whiffle balls or something, 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:31.400 and maybe maybe that'll help. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.040 I don't know, it's very very possible. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.439 Joe Ell might need to get into fantasy baseball here soon. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.480 If this ya, I got, I got. I can always 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.360 use a guest spot, so I'm available Joe if you 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:39.679 need me. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.080 I'm sure he's dying on the pitching side. Sonny Gray 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.760 struck out eight over seven, only gave up three hits. 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.520 Christian Javier struck out eight over six, two hits, no walks, 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.920 thank you very much. Luis Castill struck out nine like 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.679 we mentioned, over six, walk one, giving up only four hits. 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:59.080 Carlos for Don continues an incredible year. Five innings, eight strikeouts, 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.319 walk one, give up two hits in ross, strippling six 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.000 and one thirds with four strikeouts in a walk. I've 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.920 actually struggled a little bit with what I'm doing with 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:12.120 Redon in even redraft for next season. Dynasty's kind of 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.400 another question. Where do you think he lies? Do you 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.520 think he lies in that Luis Castillo range or you know, 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:21.880 obviously statistically, I think even on Yahoo's algorithm, he's performed 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.880 way over that. Do you think he belongs in that 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.440 upper tier range or more in the Gallon and castillos. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.880 I think he belongs in the Gallon and Castillo and 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.120 in that range. I still won't have any of Rodon like. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.800 I love the guy. He's been amazing this year and 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:34.280 last year. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.200 But I'm still just I guess in the back of 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.520 my brain it's always those injuries, and I'm concerned. You 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.440 got to see where he pitches next year. I don't 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.200 see him coming back to s F. Let's give him 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.520 a big deal, which I don't think they'll do. It's 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.000 not far on strategy, so we'll see how that plays out. 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.040 He's been outstanding, but right about now you're paying for 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.560 his best and that's something I don't like to do 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:52.360 come draft season. 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:57.080 Yeah, Wonky, here, that'll help increase baseball's populated understand our 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.320 fantasy game. Go play wiffle ball first, Yeah, Wonky. As 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.680 you know, baseball really really curates great, great ways for 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.880 everyone to understand fantasy baseball better and real baseball, you know, 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.560 by like the money and manipulation and not caring about 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.960 the players. And baseball does a really good job of 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.880 its popularity across the board. So you know what, if anything, 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.960 I think wiffleball would help. You know, hey, you want 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:22.920 to you want a great thing for the All Star weekend, 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:23.920 do a wiffleball tournament. 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.200 I would grave that would be amazing. Let's go play 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.680 cutball remember those days? Yeah yeah, let's bring back the 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:34.960 little league days. Don't you dismiss me, the Wonky Penguin. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.640 Don't you dismiss me? With football actually might be better 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.120 for baseball in general, clearly would be for jo Adell. 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.640 So we're not going to have that argument on the 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.960 stat zero's John Carlos Stanton four k's he did have 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.720 a hit was one for five with four strikeouts, Charlie 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.560 Blackman oh for four with four strikeouts, and Manny Machado 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.400 oh for four with three as well. Austin Riley OH 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.760 for four with three strikeouts, and big names there on 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.720 the pitching side. David Peterson didn't make it into the 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.960 second out one third of an inning, gave up five 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:11.720 earned runs, walk three, Mike six e and runs in five. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.000 Gave up three homers. That's been the thing with him. 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.080 JP Sears gave up five earned runs and Gi Rasmussen, 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.360 I'm glad I didn't do it. I almost got tempted 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.680 to play a k prop with him. He only went four, 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.200 gave up four, struck out one. 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:24.920 Yeah, gras is weird. 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.040 Yeah, I liked him a lot last night too in 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.480 tournaments as a tournament player, and that did not go 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:30.880 so well. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.520 Yeah, no I didn't. I told you guys about this before, 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:34.880 but just give you a reminder. We haven't done it 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:36.720 in a couple of days. I know Austin Riley did 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.880 go over four with four strikeouts, but last year he 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.920 was quite good so much they made the World Series. 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.920 And in the month of September, if you guys subscribe 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.320 to the podcast, the Leading Off Podcast, if you rate 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.960 it and then you review it, you will become eligible 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.960 to win an Austin Riley twenty twenty one signed World 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.960 Series Baseball, which would be awesome for the collection. And 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.800 you take it like a minute. You just got to hit, subscribe, 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.959 hit rate, put in a thing, put in a little thing, 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.560 and you're done. And that's it, and you could potentially 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.480 win on the month of September. For anybody that goes 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.879 and dos that goes and dos that, So go and 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.960 do it. Do it today. Over on the home run 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.480 leader Board, I would just like to point out we 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.960 had wonky Wednesday, and on the wonky Wednesday it was 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.639 hit a homer with a lefty and you get double points. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.000 Bingo bango. Yes, nobody in the top ten got their 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.040 lefty or their righty or any of them, because the 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.600
