Speaker 1: Welcome in Brendos. Leading off starts right now. I am
Speaker 1: your host, Chris Welsh. Of course it's always been me.
Speaker 1: And look at that with power and all lights on
Speaker 1: camera action. It's Bubba in the house. Bubba. We missed
Speaker 1: you earlier this week.
Speaker 2: I missed being here. I felt I felt bad, but
Speaker 2: I had no control over the situation.
Speaker 3: I was pretty pretty bummed about it. But we're back.
Speaker 2: I get to join you guys on a Thursday this
Speaker 2: week and have some fun chatting up with my friend
Speaker 2: the Welsh.
Speaker 1: We had the stinky old bogman on the show.
Speaker 2: My brother from another mother. You know, if he's kept
Speaker 2: his head and shaved, well, we good to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be good. He should do I'd like him
Speaker 1: to do. Uh just yeah, that'd be adorable. You'd be
Speaker 1: really funny, be Adorable's definitely look at it. We all
Speaker 1: we got all the happenings around base ball for you today.
Speaker 1: And of course number one is Julio is the best,
Speaker 1: the best. But I love Julio Rodriguez, so do you.
Speaker 1: We all do, and friends, he just continues to go
Speaker 1: and what else? What else can be said about Huli
Speaker 1: Rodriguez blasted a lead off Homer swiped a base on
Speaker 1: Wednesday as the Mariners won six to one. Now, twenty
Speaker 1: six homers, twenty five stolen bases, and we've got some
Speaker 1: fun notes here. Here were some fun facts from Sarah
Speaker 1: Langs two. Julio Rodriguez is the first player on MLB
Speaker 1: history with twenty five homers and twenty five stolen bases
Speaker 1: in his first MLB season. The other two rookies to
Speaker 1: do it had debuted the year prior and twenty five
Speaker 1: homer twenty four twenty five stolen bases in a rookie season.
Speaker 1: Going to that was Mike Trout in twenty twelve and
Speaker 1: Chris Young the Arizona Diamondbacks in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1: Huleo is the best. BU love Julio. How much do
Speaker 1: we love Julio?
Speaker 3: A ton, a ton And it's fun.
Speaker 2: I did an early draft a few weeks ago for
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, and he went I.
Speaker 3: Believe it was fifth overall, fourth overt Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a draft Champions League for twenty twenty three
Speaker 2: on n FBC, and we did the first seven rounds
Speaker 2: and I wanted him very badly. I got the six
Speaker 2: pick and he went right before me. I think he's
Speaker 2: legit as it comes, like legit thirty thirty type guy.
Speaker 3: He's amazing.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun because I could even if he
Speaker 2: keeps doing this, there's gonna be conversation of like a
Speaker 2: top one or two pick by certain leagues.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mentioned my as far as my
Speaker 1: dynasty ranks go, I moved him to number one overall.
Speaker 1: And that's the last thing I've got to do is
Speaker 1: actually sort all of my redraft players on like an
Speaker 1: overall list, and Julio is in that consideration for sure.
Speaker 1: But he continues to just go nuts to think. He
Speaker 1: has an interesting thing too, where he's like, I don't
Speaker 1: consider myself a rookie, and it's like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: you can't even rent a car, and you're the best
Speaker 1: player on the planet right now. You you barely are
Speaker 1: able to stay out past midnight and drink. But you
Speaker 1: are a kid. You are a rookie. But yeah, you
Speaker 1: are maybe one of the best players in baseball. And
Speaker 1: sometimes those things just coincide with each other, so Mariners
Speaker 1: win games. Julio Rodriguez continues to go and it's really
Speaker 1: been a great spot for any betting stuff too, because hitting,
Speaker 1: you know, at the top of the lineup just more
Speaker 1: opportunities for a bat. So there you go. Gunnar Henderson
Speaker 1: triple doubled and knocked in four as the Orioles vested
Speaker 1: the National six to two on Wednesday. The locks were
Speaker 1: flowing and he continues to ball out with the rookies.
Speaker 1: You know, Corvin Carroll, I don't see this on this list.
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll hit his third homer, which was he has
Speaker 1: his knack, by the way, not to turn this into
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll, he just a snack. When he hits the ball,
Speaker 1: you just don't notice how far it's gonna go. It
Speaker 1: kind of looks like this innocuous pop up and it's not.
Speaker 1: And Gunner and Corbin just kind of going blow for
Speaker 1: blow right now. Probably the two leading candidates for a
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year for next season. But gun with
Speaker 1: a big game and Corman Carroll with a big game
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, both monster games. Gunner, he's been a staple in
Speaker 2: my DFS line up slate leakaus. He's been super cheap,
Speaker 2: so I've been rolling that and he just continues to
Speaker 2: produce and eventually they're gonna move them up in that
Speaker 2: order you'd imagine at some point this season. But Carrol's
Speaker 2: been great, and even seeing the replay, it's almost like
Speaker 2: he didn't even think it was going to go out
Speaker 2: last night, so he was kind of running and he's
Speaker 2: kind of slowed down all of a sudden, they like,
Speaker 2: oh now I can trot. So both these guys are
Speaker 2: getting comfortable and they're starting to produce and a thing
Speaker 2: of beauty watching all these young players every week, it
Speaker 2: seems like we get a new batch, and it's been
Speaker 2: pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Carol Barrel's baby Carol so far with three homers, no
Speaker 1: still in bases, which is actually the biggest shock to
Speaker 1: me of all of those because he but Lavello is
Speaker 1: such a monster about running and stealing. Unless it's Jake McCarthy.
Speaker 1: Where McCarthy can go, he can steal home and by
Speaker 1: the way, be safe but be called out and the
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks win. That happened last night. McCarthy just has the
Speaker 1: green light to do whatever the hell he wants. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they're giving that to Carroll because he's
Speaker 1: not stealing any bases. But three homers, two seventy three
Speaker 1: batting average, so far twelve hits in this shorts and
Speaker 1: only forty three at bats, but he's already got nine RBI.
Speaker 1: Gunner hitting three twenty only one homer, but he's got
Speaker 1: one stolen base, sixteen hits, nine RBI, four of which
Speaker 1: came last night. Both have been very very good pushes
Speaker 1: for you guys into the year, so into your playoff runs,
Speaker 1: which is very very nice. I'll remind everybody if you
Speaker 1: guys got any fantasy questions at the end, I will
Speaker 1: I will kind of star them as we go and
Speaker 1: we'll see if we can answer a few of these
Speaker 1: questions whatever it is for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: So just put them in the chat for the Peanuts
Speaker 1: and the cracker Jacks and we will try to get
Speaker 1: to it at the end of the episode. If you
Speaker 1: have any Luis Castillo nine strikeouts over six scoreless frames
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, defeating the Padres, earning his sixth victory of
Speaker 1: the year, and that's another one of those guys. I
Speaker 1: actually think Castillo and Gallon to me are like one
Speaker 1: A one B of will be my most targeted mid
Speaker 1: range pitchers next year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, They're gonna be fun because you know, everyone likes
Speaker 2: to talk about making pictures early, get your races early.
Speaker 2: If you're not in that camp, you could legit start
Speaker 2: with a Castillo or a Gallon and be cool with that.
Speaker 2: Hopefully in round three. I don't know Castillo, I could
Speaker 2: see creeping up in a deeper leagues in a round two,
Speaker 2: so it'll be fun. But he's been a beast, got
Speaker 2: out a great American small park. He's doing we thought
Speaker 2: he would do walks her down, which is huge, but
Speaker 2: he's just you know, taking advantage of real defense behind him,
Speaker 2: and he's striking guys out and he's awesome. He's everything
Speaker 2: we all thought he would be on a real team though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, I just like this. I just
Speaker 1: like James's take on McCarthy. Just bro he was safe.
Speaker 1: He was safe, and he's an interesting article too. Not
Speaker 1: to make it back about McCarthy, but just tabling back
Speaker 1: here Arizona. An easy Central article out here talking about
Speaker 1: how he's making it a tough situation for the Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: and what they're going to have to do with how
Speaker 1: they put it all together next season. But there's no
Speaker 1: doubt he's going to be in there. And by the way,
Speaker 1: a dead ringer for lip gallagher. If you ever watched Shameless,
Speaker 1: he looks exactly like, yeah.
Speaker 3: That's interesting.
Speaker 2: That's a good comp now that I noticed that, because
Speaker 2: I believe it was after the walk off you guys
Speaker 2: had last night, you guys in Arizona. I believe Jake
Speaker 2: jumped over the railing and had the locks kind of
Speaker 2: going out there.
Speaker 3: I believe it was Jake, and it was a good look,
Speaker 3: very good.
Speaker 1: Then, so then go watch Shameless and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: McCarthy's in it, it's crazy. Let's watch Shameles because it's
Speaker 1: a great show early the last season. Actually, I'm behind.
Speaker 1: I haven't watched the last season, which I'm a little
Speaker 1: bummed about. Not bad, was it not great?
Speaker 3: It's it's well, it's never gonna be as good as
Speaker 3: when the whole cast is there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, what's her name left? Yeah, I watched
Speaker 1: that season, but yeah, sorry, yeah, all right. The last
Speaker 1: of the big headlines, raise are activating Shae McClanahan from
Speaker 1: the fifteen Day I l and he's already bat his
Speaker 1: money and price is already back up there. Bubba.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, people are all aboard the SHANEA.
Speaker 2: Mack train as you'd expect, and they were kind of
Speaker 2: playing down playing the injury. Looks like he's okay. If
Speaker 2: he's good to go, then yeah, rock and Roll and
Speaker 2: Shane O. Mack could be getting you some awards coming
Speaker 2: the end of the season.
Speaker 1: I remember back in the day watching him cry on
Speaker 1: his pitching coach's shoulder and how terrified it was, like,
Speaker 1: Oh God, are we going to lose him? Are we
Speaker 1: going to lose him? We didn't, thankfully on the injury front.
Speaker 1: Luis Roberts still not in the White Sox lineup as
Speaker 1: a Thursday against the Guardians. He's just perpetually never.
Speaker 2: See the White Sox realize they have an injured list.
Speaker 2: Is that like something that they just don't believe in
Speaker 2: or is it only because Tim Anderson's on it we
Speaker 2: can of other people.
Speaker 3: I'm really confused.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know with like, you know what, the biggest
Speaker 1: nightmare of playing in September this and it's kind of
Speaker 1: dead now of course, but like the biggest nightmare of
Speaker 1: playing your fantasy baseball in December was when it went
Speaker 1: to forty man rosters. No one would ever go on
Speaker 1: the IL anymore because of the rosters. They would never
Speaker 1: do it. And you were but now it's not. They
Speaker 1: added like three roster spots, put him on the el
Speaker 1: go ahead. It makes no Yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't it's not gonna hurt them. Maybe there's like some
Speaker 1: contractual thing or something like that. I'm not one hundred
Speaker 1: percent sure. Who the hell knows at this point. Seya
Speaker 1: Suzuki heading for X rays on his left hand wrist
Speaker 1: after being hit by a pitch during Wednesday's game against
Speaker 1: the Men. That's you know, he's having an average pickup,
Speaker 1: but you know someone you could probably easily move through. Also,
Speaker 1: X rays on an injured hand of Ree Hoskins came
Speaker 1: back negative, which is great, but you know, the hand
Speaker 1: injuries in general just make me worried. And you might
Speaker 1: only have a week or so left, and you know,
Speaker 1: if you're kind of slowly recovering from it, it might
Speaker 1: be a zapp of power. So if you play in
Speaker 1: a league, you know, I could throw Hoskins maybe on
Speaker 1: the bench just monitor it, I suppose, but I would
Speaker 1: be a little bit worried about it. And Luisa Rise
Speaker 1: was pulled from Wednesday's contest against the Royals due to
Speaker 1: left hamstring tightness. Would you be willing to pull the
Speaker 1: plug on a Reese Hoskins right now with only like
Speaker 1: a week and a half or two to go with it.
Speaker 1: Even if like he's like, hey, it's negative, he's going
Speaker 1: to rest a day and come back, would you be
Speaker 1: willing to pull the plug if there or something out there?
Speaker 2: Not yet, but it's one of those where I don't
Speaker 2: really have daily leagus. If you have daily leagues, it's
Speaker 2: a lot more tricky. Like my moves come on Sunday,
Speaker 2: so I want to see some news the next couple
Speaker 2: of days. But if he's not playing for the next
Speaker 2: few days and it's still kind of a day to
Speaker 2: day thing, possibly, it definitely would depend on.
Speaker 3: What's out there.
Speaker 2: I'm not just for any willy nilly move, but if
Speaker 2: it's something that could help me in the last couple
Speaker 2: of weeks, yes, because it is that time of the
Speaker 2: year you just start cutting ties. I made a joke
Speaker 2: on a recent episode of my show that you almost
Speaker 2: need to just like cover up names and just look
Speaker 2: at what stats are best for what your team needs
Speaker 2: are right now, and.
Speaker 3: That's all that matters anymore.
Speaker 2: So if that's the case, fine, But Reese has been
Speaker 2: awesome this year, so it's tough to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pictures sometimes make it a little bit tough. If
Speaker 1: you have like a good picture that might miss a start.
Speaker 1: But then it's like in the championship week, you can
Speaker 1: get that one big start can make a difference. But
Speaker 1: it really is that case with hitters and chasing categories
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. If you have a great power
Speaker 1: team already and he's hurt and there's something out here
Speaker 1: for sure, Yeah, but the big question always, Uh, these
Speaker 1: blanket statements come out that hey, you can move on,
Speaker 1: but it's dependent on what is out there. But just
Speaker 1: letting you know that's one of them. But I do
Speaker 1: like your idea of covering up the names. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about some stat heroes. JT Realmuto two for four with
Speaker 1: two homers. Yesterday, Radolfo Castro had a homer with four RBIs,
Speaker 1: Julio Combo, Meal homer, stolen base, two runs with an RBI,
Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson. As we mentioned how the four RBI, Mickey
Speaker 1: moniac Love the homer in two rb Let's talk about
Speaker 1: money at in a second. Oscar Gonzalez three for four
Speaker 1: with a homer. Jonaheim had a home run, Riley Adams,
Speaker 1: Mark Mathis and Sergia Alcantra with the walkoff homer for
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks. Let's talk about moniac then for a minute.
Speaker 3: What do you got?
Speaker 2: I just love seeing it because it's the old you know,
Speaker 2: top pick kind of flailed out the second he's been
Speaker 2: traded to Anaheim. He was playing great, then he got hurt.
Speaker 2: I've kind of he wasn't playing great. He's playing well,
Speaker 2: he got hurt, and I felt bad for him. Like
Speaker 2: he's getting regular run, looks kind of more confident at
Speaker 2: the plate, comes back already, he gets the homer and
Speaker 2: the double yesterday, he's leading off for the angel They're
Speaker 2: gonna give him solid run the rest of the way here.
Speaker 2: I think it's good to see and you know, the
Speaker 2: talent was there at one point time. You've probably seen
Speaker 2: him in person potentially, and it's just I think this
Speaker 2: is a really sneaky thing to keep an eye on
Speaker 2: come next season that if he's starting for that team,
Speaker 2: they need that player out in the outfield that can.
Speaker 3: Do this and lead off, and that's a big, big
Speaker 3: boom for him.
Speaker 1: You know. The there's an interesting trade, uh overall with this,
Speaker 1: all those Philly guys going at the end of the
Speaker 1: day seeing Moniac and like Logan o'hop if people pay attention,
Speaker 1: and Logan ohop has been on another just world since
Speaker 1: he's been traded from the Phillies over to the Angels.
Speaker 1: He looked like their top prospect right now. And both
Speaker 1: of those guys kind of thriving with playing time if anything,
Speaker 1: you know what marsh is kind of thriving as well.
Speaker 2: And it worked out for everybody, Like everyone got kind
Speaker 2: of a new look on life, and that's all it
Speaker 2: takes sometimes, like is it's just not working out a
Speaker 2: certain place.
Speaker 1: So it's funny, yeah, and Moniac might be a guy
Speaker 1: you can ride out the rest of the year. The
Speaker 1: chat's kind of like going on talking about the kind
Speaker 1: of blinding yourself with the player's names. With McCarthy, we
Speaker 1: see Oscar Gonzalez popping up. I think Moniac can kind
Speaker 1: of fall into the same of like, you know, these
Speaker 1: guys that you get out there that are going to
Speaker 1: kind of get regular playing time through the rest of
Speaker 1: this season. And it's interesting seeing, you know, Moniac succeed
Speaker 1: and Adele still struggle. It really tooks a bigger story
Speaker 1: about like what Adele's future probably looks like, which really
Speaker 1: should be on another team like he would do that.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's the perfect example. Go go somewhere else, like
Speaker 2: get new new lease on life, whatever.
Speaker 1: Get get a hitting coach, get somewhere where they're really
Speaker 1: gonna like work with them hard.
Speaker 3: On Lasik eye surgery so you can find the strike zone.
Speaker 1: I don't know, ever the hell you gotta do exact
Speaker 1: like play the whiffle ball games so theotball is easy.
Speaker 1: You know something I always like to do in draft season,
Speaker 1: I always tell people you want a great strategy for
Speaker 1: being able to adjust to twelve man leagues, Go draft
Speaker 1: some sixteen mans, do some sixteen mans, and then you're
Speaker 1: gonna have like just a better take on it. Maybe
Speaker 1: same thing with baseball. Go hit some whiffle balls or something,
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe that'll help.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's very very possible.
Speaker 1: Joe Ell might need to get into fantasy baseball here soon.
Speaker 3: If this ya, I got, I got. I can always
Speaker 3: use a guest spot, so I'm available Joe if you
Speaker 3: need me.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's dying on the pitching side. Sonny Gray
Speaker 1: struck out eight over seven, only gave up three hits.
Speaker 1: Christian Javier struck out eight over six, two hits, no walks,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Luis Castill struck out nine like
Speaker 1: we mentioned, over six, walk one, giving up only four hits.
Speaker 1: Carlos for Don continues an incredible year. Five innings, eight strikeouts,
Speaker 1: walk one, give up two hits in ross, strippling six
Speaker 1: and one thirds with four strikeouts in a walk. I've
Speaker 1: actually struggled a little bit with what I'm doing with
Speaker 1: Redon in even redraft for next season. Dynasty's kind of
Speaker 1: another question. Where do you think he lies? Do you
Speaker 1: think he lies in that Luis Castillo range or you know,
Speaker 1: obviously statistically, I think even on Yahoo's algorithm, he's performed
Speaker 1: way over that. Do you think he belongs in that
Speaker 1: upper tier range or more in the Gallon and castillos.
Speaker 3: I think he belongs in the Gallon and Castillo and
Speaker 3: in that range. I still won't have any of Rodon like.
Speaker 3: I love the guy. He's been amazing this year and
Speaker 3: last year.
Speaker 2: But I'm still just I guess in the back of
Speaker 2: my brain it's always those injuries, and I'm concerned. You
Speaker 2: got to see where he pitches next year. I don't
Speaker 2: see him coming back to s F. Let's give him
Speaker 2: a big deal, which I don't think they'll do. It's
Speaker 2: not far on strategy, so we'll see how that plays out.
Speaker 2: He's been outstanding, but right about now you're paying for
Speaker 2: his best and that's something I don't like to do
Speaker 2: come draft season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wonky, here, that'll help increase baseball's populated understand our
Speaker 1: fantasy game. Go play wiffle ball first, Yeah, Wonky. As
Speaker 1: you know, baseball really really curates great, great ways for
Speaker 1: everyone to understand fantasy baseball better and real baseball, you know,
Speaker 1: by like the money and manipulation and not caring about
Speaker 1: the players. And baseball does a really good job of
Speaker 1: its popularity across the board. So you know what, if anything,
Speaker 1: I think wiffleball would help. You know, hey, you want
Speaker 1: to you want a great thing for the All Star weekend,
Speaker 1: do a wiffleball tournament.
Speaker 2: I would grave that would be amazing. Let's go play
Speaker 2: cutball remember those days? Yeah yeah, let's bring back the
Speaker 2: little league days. Don't you dismiss me, the Wonky Penguin.
Speaker 1: Don't you dismiss me? With football actually might be better
Speaker 1: for baseball in general, clearly would be for jo Adell.
Speaker 1: So we're not going to have that argument on the
Speaker 1: stat zero's John Carlos Stanton four k's he did have
Speaker 1: a hit was one for five with four strikeouts, Charlie
Speaker 1: Blackman oh for four with four strikeouts, and Manny Machado
Speaker 1: oh for four with three as well. Austin Riley OH
Speaker 1: for four with three strikeouts, and big names there on
Speaker 1: the pitching side. David Peterson didn't make it into the
Speaker 1: second out one third of an inning, gave up five
Speaker 1: earned runs, walk three, Mike six e and runs in five.
Speaker 1: Gave up three homers. That's been the thing with him.
Speaker 1: JP Sears gave up five earned runs and Gi Rasmussen,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't do it. I almost got tempted
Speaker 1: to play a k prop with him. He only went four,
Speaker 1: gave up four, struck out one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, gras is weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked him a lot last night too in
Speaker 2: tournaments as a tournament player, and that did not go
Speaker 2: so well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no I didn't. I told you guys about this before,
Speaker 1: but just give you a reminder. We haven't done it
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. I know Austin Riley did
Speaker 1: go over four with four strikeouts, but last year he
Speaker 1: was quite good so much they made the World Series.

Speaker 1: hit a homer with a lefty and you get double points.
Speaker 1: Bingo bango. Yes, nobody in the top ten got their
Speaker 1: lefty or their righty or any of them, because the
Speaker 1: top ten did not change whatsoever, not a single homer
Speaker 1: hit by any of them. And when I say hit
Speaker 1: it is us digitally and virtually, you know, predicting people
Speaker 1: that will hit it. We don't actually, but I did
Speaker 1: with my Bryce Harper call, so thank you very much.
Speaker 1: I doesn't put me remotely close to the leaderboard, so
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be bragging. But it was nice to have
Speaker 1: a little home run called Bubby. You know how it goes?
Speaker 3: Right? Oh, I feel you. It's so gratifying, even though
Speaker 3: it really doesn't mean anything. But yes, it's great.

Speaker 1: so that's it. They project him at one and a half,
Speaker 1: you only need one. On the strikeout front, Dylan Bundy
Speaker 1: is the number one strikeout play at minus one sixty
Speaker 1: for two and a half, so you need three strikeouts
Speaker 1: versus Kansas City. He's projected at four. A little bit
Speaker 1: of a risk, but boys at a low number and
Speaker 1: what I say it was minus one sixty on DK
Speaker 1: And Daniel Lynch is the number one plus money k prop.
Speaker 1: On the other side, four and a half strikeouts versus Minnesota,
Speaker 1: which they love to do, is the number. He is
Speaker 1: projected at four point six. So it's a little bacy
Speaker 1: plus one ten bubba. Any of these that you dig
Speaker 1: that you would want to put a bet on.
Speaker 2: Well, the Jay ram one's outstanding, little juicy for sure,
Speaker 2: but I kind of like the plus money on Daniel
Speaker 2: Lynch there. This Twins team's a little scoffling just enough
Speaker 2: to make this interesting. So I like that plus money
Speaker 2: on Lynch. But Jay Ram's the guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think the Guardians one already started too.
Speaker 3: I guess it is the first.
Speaker 1: There's so much going on. I gotta get better with
Speaker 1: that of pulling that and pulling a different one. But
Speaker 1: that game did start going. Actually, hosramires as we are
Speaker 1: speaking in the pop I think it's over over half
Speaker 1: right here. I was about to say, I think it's
Speaker 1: illegal to do like like play by play or anything
Speaker 1: like that, but I almost would love to the game
Speaker 1: on and call like does it get a hit? And
Speaker 1: we would have We would have done it. You could
Speaker 1: have got it. If you guys would have jumped over
Speaker 1: to uh bettingpros dot com, go to the mlbprop cheat sheet,
Speaker 1: you would have got in on that a little bit
Speaker 1: of go but yes, good call go cards. Right as
Speaker 1: we were going, he's literally hitting right now and we'll
Speaker 1: see he's got two balls. But we're not going to
Speaker 1: go illegal here. Someone tell me if he gets it,
Speaker 1: because that'll be fun. I got okay, you do, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to to screw up all
Speaker 1: my stuff over on the DFS side. I'm gonna pick
Speaker 1: your brain here because I've only got a couple of things.
Speaker 1: I picked up some prices from fan duel Seye McClanahan
Speaker 1: on his return is ten eight tonight, Lance mccoher's on
Speaker 1: a pretty good matchup nine to nine and Miles Miles
Speaker 1: michaelis nine to two. You're projected five or more team
Speaker 1: total runs only as looking at Houston and Saint Louis,
Speaker 1: which I think then goes back to making Michaelis and
Speaker 1: mcculler's interesting. So that might be some lineup stacks if
Speaker 1: you want to go Saint Louis in Houston. But but
Speaker 1: but what do you think tonight as far as pitching,
Speaker 1: it could be dk FanDuel lineup builders.
Speaker 3: How do you see it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: For DK like mcculler's is good. I Carrasco could be
Speaker 2: a nice little pivot off. Mculer's going up against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: A lot of strikeouts in that lineup. I do have
Speaker 2: a question for you before I get onto my bats though,
Speaker 2: talk to me about Drey Jamison.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know what, that's funny. I forgot to
Speaker 1: put him on here, and I knew he was going
Speaker 1: to come up. So Drey Jamison I mentioned the baby
Speaker 1: Backs are coming, then I'm actually bringing everybody up. Drey
Speaker 1: Jamison is going to be pitching for the Diamondbacks tonight.
Speaker 1: Super athletic pitcher, big fastball, that's his big play. He
Speaker 1: can dial it up high nineties. He's got a really
Speaker 1: solid change up, throws a slider in there, and he
Speaker 1: started throwing like a two seamer as well, so he
Speaker 1: can move around the plate. His problem is consistency. So
Speaker 1: he lit it up in Double A this year, he
Speaker 1: had like a two and a half and I think
Speaker 1: it was over four starts. Then he went up into
Speaker 1: the PCL get lit up in the PCL, so you've
Speaker 1: got to kind of watch out for that. I think
Speaker 1: it's great stuff. I do think it's going to be
Speaker 1: relief long term. But if he's any bit consistent tonight
Speaker 1: and hitters not seeing him before, I think he could
Speaker 1: have a game. I just don't know. I don't want
Speaker 1: to pull like because Tommy Henry had a great first game,
Speaker 1: Ry Nelson has had two. I think Dre is the
Speaker 1: most dangerous of all of them in that he could
Speaker 1: be the biggest strikeout guy, but he also could get
Speaker 1: lit up in one inning, so I think he's super
Speaker 1: super risky.
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, No, I like dre at four k
Speaker 2: though I think he's a sp two on DK kind
Speaker 2: of like that ah four k. Okay, yeah, obviously you
Speaker 2: mentioned the Houston Saint Louis one's the stack. I like
Speaker 2: the most folks as a traditional like any other give
Speaker 2: me the d backs because we're fading Sean Manyah yet again,
Speaker 2: so like, let's just roll beat up on Sean Manyah.
Speaker 2: And they dropped a fly ball in front of home plate,
Speaker 2: so it should be an air on grind otherwise.
Speaker 1: See I'm seeing it right now.
Speaker 3: It's in play.
Speaker 1: Yep, it's a fielding air they that is horrific.
Speaker 3: Dang it.
Speaker 1: We didn't get the Ramirez one live, so you had
Speaker 1: to remind someone remind me too. I gotta not be picking.
Speaker 1: I literally just go on to betting pros and the
Speaker 1: prop cheat sheet, and I like to I like to
Speaker 1: back in the day when Joe was hosting, I would
Speaker 1: give you more of like my plays in this. I
Speaker 1: kind of like the idea of giving you what some
Speaker 1: of the generated plays are. But I didn't even look
Speaker 1: at the time on there, so that was my bad,
Speaker 1: But that would have been fun if you would have
Speaker 1: got to hit there.
Speaker 3: All good. I'll get in the hood all right.
Speaker 1: So anything else on there, any lineups that you want
Speaker 1: to be targeting. That's an interesting SB two for DK,
Speaker 1: the D backs for me, D backs for Sham and
Speaker 1: I A all day long. Yeah, I mean, Jack McCarthy.
Speaker 1: Whatever you can do, and I has been poop over
Speaker 1: the four of our five's, you.
Speaker 2: Go there and if you want to get sneaky, I
Speaker 2: think that that attacking Dylan Bundy with Kansas City's and
Speaker 2: play as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, Corbyn Carroll, get Corbyn Carroll in there. I like
Speaker 1: the stack on the uh on the d backs we
Speaker 1: have got. I think a few questions. If you guys
Speaker 1: have any this is your chance again a few more.
Speaker 1: I've targeted a few. James had asked where does Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Springs go in drafts next year? That's another one of
Speaker 1: those guys that if you look at algorithms as far
Speaker 1: as like all the sites calculate players differently, Yahoo's calculates
Speaker 1: a bit different, but boy does he go way higher
Speaker 1: as far as what he performed on the year statwise.
Speaker 1: Two wins, one hundred and twenty four strikeouts, a tiny
Speaker 1: little smidge over a one whip. What do you think,
Speaker 1: what's the general range of springs.
Speaker 3: He's gonna be.
Speaker 2: He's very very good, and it's one of those it's like, well,
Speaker 2: will the Rays finally let him go? Kind of like
Speaker 2: shamee McLanahan. Then it's a whole other game. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying any shame. McLanahan was talking about workload usage. I'd
Speaker 2: say he has the potential to be a top forty pitcher,
Speaker 2: maybe top thirty. I'd take top forty for sure. I
Speaker 2: think he's very very good. It's just a caveat of
Speaker 2: what did the Rays actually do.
Speaker 1: I think he could get into the top thirty range
Speaker 1: next season. The plus is, as far as pitch counts go,
Speaker 1: he has I'd have to do a quick math here.
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like on average he's averaged between
Speaker 1: eighty five and ninety pitches a game. His last two
Speaker 1: have been a little bit less. He had a short
Speaker 1: outing in Boston, but he went ninety seven against the
Speaker 1: Yankees on the second in the month of August. Four
Speaker 1: of his five starts where eighty five pitches are more so,
Speaker 1: there really are letting the rains go a bit, and
Speaker 1: obviously he's gonna have a whole bunch of more innings
Speaker 1: under his belt this season. Because his total, he's at
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen this year, you're probably gonna end
Speaker 1: around what like one hundred and thirty maybe at best,
Speaker 1: and then next year you push him into the one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to seventy range. I mean, he looks
Speaker 1: like he is on the Drew Rasmussen McClanahan bus, Like
Speaker 1: he's just he's gonna be unloaded. So now they don't
Speaker 1: have to do these, you know, these opener situations you're
Speaker 1: gonna have, like you know, McClanahan and Rasmu and Springs.
Speaker 1: I think they'll let him go. I think he has
Speaker 1: potential because he's a high K guy too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, like he's so he's very very good.
Speaker 2: I just if they let him go, then it's all
Speaker 2: hands on deck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about this? And I should have put that
Speaker 1: one up on the board. That was from James. Shout
Speaker 1: out to James uh Kuan versus ikf for steals for
Speaker 1: next week rest of the Fantasy Playoffs. Steven Kwan, by
Speaker 1: the way, I was actually shocked when I was regoing
Speaker 1: and looking at some numbers on the amount of steels
Speaker 1: he actually pulled up because he was one of those
Speaker 1: guys that you know, he was kind of empty stats
Speaker 1: in general, and he's he's made do his fantasy value
Speaker 1: by having a good batting average, runs and stolen basis.
Speaker 1: So instead of being a one category guy, he really
Speaker 1: is like a three categy not elite, but he's a
Speaker 1: three category player now. Ikf for Kwan next week.
Speaker 2: Man, that's a tough one because Cleveland it's all hit
Speaker 2: and missed. But Kwan's been very, very good. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: lean Kwan just because I know he's gonna lead off
Speaker 2: pretty much every day, IK if he should play every day,
Speaker 2: which you never know. The Yankees do have death there,
Speaker 2: so give me Stephen Kwan in that conundrum.
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that one. I'm also gonna
Speaker 1: go with Stephen Kwan there. I cast fine, they they
Speaker 1: do have They do have a couple of the young
Speaker 1: kids that are looming around if they want to give
Speaker 1: him days and stuff, so I don't know. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Kwan. I completely agree with you on that one.
Speaker 1: And they go a couple questions. You guys can continuously
Speaker 1: drop that as we are ending out, I can start
Speaker 1: them through the show from the Peanuts and Cracker Jackson
Speaker 1: the Chat and we can get those from you guys.
Speaker 1: So feel free in every episode drop a few questions
Speaker 1: and we will come back at the end to answer
Speaker 1: them and maybe we can help you guys, either in
Speaker 1: your next year prep or for your fantasy playoffs. That
Speaker 1: leads us finally to the home run call of the day.
Speaker 1: I hadn't even actually picked mine out of the gates, Bubba,
Speaker 1: so let's hear from you first. What do you got
Speaker 1: on the home run call?
Speaker 2: As I said earlier, I want to fade Sean and Iyak.
Speaker 2: That's a tradition unlike any other. Give me Christian Walker,
Speaker 2: Christian Walker going deep tonight, love me some Christian Walker.
Speaker 3: Love the d bags. Have some fun with that one.
Speaker 1: Ooh, now you're getting me kind of going here that
Speaker 1: I wonder you know what we're gonna go. We're gonna
Speaker 1: go with Rake. I'm going with Rake McCarthy, Jake McCarthy tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play you on that. When I was tempted
Speaker 1: to go CORVN Carrol, I also think on the Padres side,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Dre Jamison gives up a
Speaker 1: little bit. But you know, I know I'm playing both
Speaker 1: sides of the plate. But don't be surprised if Dre
Speaker 1: Jamison comes out first game hot, because that is a possibility.
Speaker 1: This is a four pitch repertoire. It's a good change up.
Speaker 1: It's a slider's technically, they got a slider curveball that's
Speaker 1: in there. He can play all sides of the plate.
Speaker 1: He throws it really, really hard. It's all going to
Speaker 1: be about his command if he's on. Dude, mind strikeout
Speaker 1: eight tonight. But I don't know if that's gonna be
Speaker 1: working long term, because I do believe Dre is going
Speaker 1: to be more of a closer long term. But I
Speaker 1: will go with McCarthy. I like your play. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I see any others Wonking literally as we
Speaker 1: were speaking, just put on Nolan Eronato. So those are
Speaker 1: the home run calls. We will see what your guys
Speaker 1: is next episode. Because you guys made no movement on
Speaker 1: the board. As I mentioned, I didn't really give you
Speaker 1: the leaders, but cat Fox is still at fifty three.
Speaker 1: Top Dog l Scale is fifty one, high, Covey and
Speaker 1: de Blum at fifty in Cards Go Cards is at
Speaker 1: forty nine. Trying to make a little bit of movement here.
Speaker 1: So that's what the leaderboard looks like. On the home run,
Speaker 1: calls Bubba, what do you got going on? My friend?
Speaker 1: What's going down?
Speaker 2: The usual fun and things got written content at a
Speaker 2: few different websites, but more importantly Bench with Bubba coming
Speaker 2: at you a couple times a week Thursday Night, bub
Speaker 2: and the Bloom, I'm gonna have some fun looking at
Speaker 2: some relief pitching targets late in the season to help
Speaker 2: pad your stats. That'll be one topic we will be covering.
Speaker 2: Got an MLBDF has quick gets money through Friday as
Speaker 2: well to preview the draftings slate for the day. But
