Welcome in everybody to 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.720 leading off right here on Fantasy Pros, brought to you 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.640 by at MGM, the King of Sports Books. It is me, 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:26.360 Joey p Joe Pi's appia with me today is Mike Mayer, 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.120 and of course it's you. All the Peanuts and the 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.880 Crackerjacks are subscribers to our YouTube channel at YouTube dot 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.400 com slash Fantasy Pros m LB. Today we're going to 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.480 talk about all the home runs that were hit so many. 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.280 In fact, Mike Mayer, you've got another one on the board. 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.360 I don't know if you're up on the official board yet. 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:43.479 We shall find out. 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.000 I know, and I'm right behind you because I got 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.680 another one from my boy mister Alvarez last night. So 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:51.559 am I have the six now? I think? In the 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:53.080 home runs right seven? 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:54.320 Check the board. 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.120 I definitely am over five, That's what I think. And 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.520 I don't know if I'm going to be the heel 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.640 today or Mike Mayor will find out. But again, we 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.720 want to make sure that you're always joining us live 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.280 here every day Monday through Friday, we do the show. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.160 Mike Mayor. A lot of home runs hit yesterday once again, 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.720 pitching seems to be all over the place. It's not 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.240 too shocking considering some of the guys that are on 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.520 the mound. Of all these guys been giving up a 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.600 lot of fly balls. So a whole lot of them 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:23.839 left the yard yesterday. 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.160 Yeah, but one of them did not leave the yard yesterday, 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.560 and a certain eron Judge is not too happy about 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:30.920 that ball. 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.280 All right, here we go, there we go. He is 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:38.120 kicked into full full heel mote already Aaron Judge hat 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:42.119 to him runs robbed by a third. Go ahead, I'm 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.200 just gonna step back and give you the floor on 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.240 this one. So we went the Little League ballpark to 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.360 the Orioles Ballpark is now ridiculous. So what do you 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:51.200 want to say about this? 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.440 Well, you and I can agree that that Cannon Yards 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:58.240 is ridiculous now with what they do with that fan ridiculous, ridiculous. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:00.960 But it is funny that, you know, like the Yankees 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.120 of all teams were like complaining about other ballparks, and like, 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.080 you know, it didn't even seem like it was tongue 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.040 in cheek, which would have been perfect if they're you know, 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.079 after the Rangers complained about Yankee Stadium, if they were 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.760 just like, oh, like, look at this ballpark. But they 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.519 were absolutely dead serious. And it's like Aaron Judge was like, 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.200 I got two home runs, but I could add three. Boo, 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:18.440 I'm so sad. 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.600 Boo hoo, boo hoo. Indeed, well, you know, every one 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.560 of those home runs is another million dollars guaranteed, probably 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.200 a year if he keeps going at this rate. Uh. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.079 The Astros tied a major league record last night by 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.440 hitting five home runs off Red Sox starter Nathan Eavaldi 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.640 in one single inning. It was a glorious thing to behold. 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.600 The Astros just completely unloaded. And this is why you 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.400 look when you're looking at the home run contest or 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.720 in DFS or even in the prop market. You're looking 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.680 for those pictures with fly ball rates and power hitters 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.680 and it's just not too hard. I mean, Alvarez was 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.960 such an easy call for me last night. As soon 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.640 as I saw those things match up, I was like, well, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.240 that's my dude for tonight. If it doesn't work. 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.359 When I were a guy with six home runs, like, oh, 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.800 what an easy call. 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.679 I was just stone cold in April. That's my problem there. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.720 I was just I have won April or something pathetic 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.280 like that. So what I liked to say is, I'm 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.799 giving everybody a head start this year. Whereas last year 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.560 I was leading from the pack on the front, this year, 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.000 I'm gonna let everybody go and this time, sa I'm 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.600 gonna go when and catch them from behind. Here Trey 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.320 Turner drives in four as the Dodgers route the Dbacks. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.600 We also had a Christian Walker hitting a home run 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.119 his third consecutive game, so he is hot as hell. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.400 Corey Seeger got two hits and home run nurs the Angels. 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.080 Mike tried to three hits and a home run for 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.080 Mike Mayor. You must feel pretty strong about that one, 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:38.520 a Mayor. 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.960 Oh yeah, all, MIC's all the time, except for today, 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:41.520 I didn't. 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.920 Ronald Acunia continues to say, don't worry. I'll be fine. 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.600 He came back, stole base, and his return tuesday into action, 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.440 so that's good. So anyone who's panicking a little bit, look, 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.520 this was bound to happen. A guy coming back from 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.240 kne surgery who's gonna have some other leg issues at 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.960 some point in time, and you know, it's nice that 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.280 he bounced back. Nice that he's continuing to steal bases 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.400 because I think a lot of people, you know, it's 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.400 funny how a narrative takes hold in the fantasy community, 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.320 whether it be baseball or football or what have you. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.840 And the narrative was, well, if you're gonna draft a Kunya, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.000 you have to understand you're probably not gonna get him 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:18.960 for a month, and then when you do get him, 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.119 he's probably not gonna steal basis. That couldn't be further 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:21.800 from the truth. 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.239 And he showed that, like like he wasn't even joking 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.640 around in his rehab starts. He's like, let me swipe 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.440 two bags tonight in the miners and you know, no 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.960 concern about his name, Okay, let's. 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.400 Do it, No none at all. Kenley Jansen got his 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.080 ninth saved, So congratulations to him. Jonathan VR Homer steals 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:41.760 a base and the Cubs win. He is cheap today 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.520 on DFS. We'll get to him later on the show, 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.800 but he's a lineup builder right now as far as 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.600 I'm concerned. If he's swinging a good bat, VR is 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.320 a guy that can get you some points and can 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.839 tell Marte with scratched Tuesday with a sore left hand. 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.000 We also had on the injury front, JP Crawford saying 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.960 that he was fine after the Tuesday incident with his ankle, 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.240 then Brandon Nemo's day day with a quad contusion. I 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.560 continue to look for Jake Odoreesi news and I was 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.920 looking this morning and all I keep seeing is leg discomfort. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.159 More to come. Have you seen anything else? Have you 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.480 found anything else on Jake Odoresei in the last hour 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.320 or so, because I can't eemn to find anything more 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.920 specific than his leg hurts. And that seems like a 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.120 weird thing considering there was a cart involved. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.520 It wasn't even like a car. I was watching that game. 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.000 It was like a legitimate hospital bed that they like 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.200 strapped him to and like rolled him out of the state. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.480 It wasn't even like the old like trainer's cart where 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.120 they like, you know, the guy pulls up like with 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.520 one arm and he just like drives it across like 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.600 they rolled out a hospital bed and then tied him 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.200 to it and then brought him into the stands, you know, 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:41.720 underneath the stands to get him out of there. But 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.520 I haven't seen anything specific about it. I know he 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.320 hit the injured list, but I mean, like it's got 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.400 to be like Achilles or something, because he hopped off 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.719 the mound and went down immediately and was in a 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:52.240 lot of pain. 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.520 So, my guess is a kid, we shall see. I'm 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.200 learning for more than just discomfort. I mean, you know 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.520 this coorts doesn't seem to really be the the official word. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:09.840 But yeah, well Mark is discomforted by Max Meyer's last 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:10.520 few starts. 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:10.960 Uh. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.360 He wants to know, are we still feeling good about 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.560 Max Meyer? Uh? Coming up? I know, back to back 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.119 bad starts. Do we drop? No, we don't drop, We hold, 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.400 we wait, we be patient. He was so good. It 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.440 could just be a little tipping of the pitches. It 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.200 could just be a little bit of an arm issues 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.000 working through a little dead art. Who knows. It could 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.600 be a million things. I'm not worried at all. I'm 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.080 not concerned. I'm gonna stay the course here. He could 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.240 also just be pouting. He could be like, I don't 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:36.760 want to be here in Triple A, because I've seen 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.440 that with guys too. They're dominating and they're like, you 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.160 know what, why am I still here? I should be 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.240 able with the big club. That happens sometimes, So it 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.520 could be a lot of reasons. I'm not panicked. Are 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:45.320 you panicked at all? 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.720 I'm not. I'm a huge Max Meyer guy. Also, can 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.360 you continue to correct Welsh when he calls a Max 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.560 Mayor because that really throws me off every time you 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:54.800 call it. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.760 I always I thought it was Max Meyer too, you know, 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.760 and then I got, you know, corrected by Welsh about 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.240 mister Noisy a few. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.599 Weeks ago, I still insisted that his name is like noise, 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:09.920 like saying noise like noise. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.440 Maybe perhaps it is, But I wonder if Meyer is 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.240 going to come back in the bullpen, though, which is 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.160 I I stashed him in a couple of deep leagues 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.360 before the season, hoping to maybe get some cheap saves 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.520 out of him, because I don't know what the interesting take. 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.840 I don't know if that's the route they would go 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.240 with the young kid. I feel like they don't like 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.800 to move guys into you know, those kind of roles necessarily. 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:32.800 I will say this, in any sort of keeper situation, 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.280 you're just holding. I mean, that's it, because you picked 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.520 them up. Just hold. Not even donna, I mean dynasty, 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.000 that's a that's a given. But in keeper formats, you're holding. 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.400 If you're in a shallow format and you need help 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.560 and you have to drop them. There's something out there 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.280 that can happen and help. That's fine. By the way, 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.080 I saw your take on the whole by low sell 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.080 high guys, and I saw you put Paul Blackburn in 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.440 the cell high category. I noticed there. I was like, Oh, 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.440 who wrote this one? Oh no, it's Mike Mayor. What 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.960 a shock. So how many stars is it gonna take 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.400 for you to buy you into Paul Blackburn's at thirty 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:06.760 two thirty three? Where are we at? 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.600 Uh? Yeah, yeah, whenever. At the end of October, if 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.840 he's still sub three e r A, then I'll be 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.080 out by Maybe I'll maybe I'll just sell high for 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:17.160 next year at that point. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.480 Maybe maybe. All right, Also, let's talk. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.280 About excellent Mara score too. 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.120 Oh like the Mara. I hope this becomes a thing. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.280 You got the Sierra, you got, the Mara, you got 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.680 the you got the Zips, you got the whole thing. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.880 I'll tell you. I'm just going to casually like mention 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.680 it like in write ups, like like it's a mainstream 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.440 stat like oh he had a great year, like his 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.960 Mara was this, and just like not even give any context. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.920 Can we add it to Fantasy pros. Can we add 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.560 it to like our you know, like on the side 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.079 as as one of the like next to e RA 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.800 and Whip? Can we add it as a column? I 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.760 don't see why not, right, I feel like that would 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.880 be low in the priority list for the dev team. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.600 But probably let's let's get on it. Maybe we start 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.600 a petition with the peanuts and cracker Jacks. All right, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.200 let's talk about this. A one fan caught two of 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.360 the five Astro home runs yesterday, didn't give them to 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.840 any children, so Mike Marher was okay with this. He 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.760 was fine about this. Also fun fact that Diaz brothers 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.280 recorded saves on the same day Tuesday, a very nice 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.440 day for the dz family, Edwin Diaz of the Mets 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.360 and Alexis Diaz of the Reds. And this has only 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.480 happened what two other pairs of siblings did this? So 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.160 I remember Todd and Tim Worel very well them. I 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.240 remember and remember. 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:32.800 The stuff that happened like thirty years ago. You were like, 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.080 I remember when this happened? 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:38.079 Well because watch baseball, so yeah, I do remember it. 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:42.040 And Tim Moorel was I hated Tim morew pitched for 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.120 the Cardinals, and he was a closer. He's very good 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:46.640 at the time, he had a very good window in 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.040 the mid to late eighties. I want to say he 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.319 was a rookie like eighty five, if memory serves, was 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:55.360 eighty six something like that, and good mustache, solid mustache. 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.200 I don't remember who the other pair was, and it 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.600 was the Men's and Nillos, right, that's the other one now, 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.920 Zius and. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.080 Very proud family, the Manzanillos. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.560 The Manzanillas are a very proud family. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.920 When you asked Sias of house Manzanillo. 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.400 Yeah, well, when you need to, you know, a favor, 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.079 you have to ask mister Manzanello on his daughter's wedding day. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:18.880 I'm pretty sure. 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.120 Also, what a year to do a ninety four of 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:21.719 the strike here? 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.880 Yeah? Yeah, uh. But this one I don't recall because 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.480 by this time I was in high school when I 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.000 was playing a lot of baseball, so I wasn't and 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.240 by then I had discovered girls also, so I don't 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.040 think I had the Manzanillos. I don't remember the Warrel's 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.320 totally remember that. So uh, let's go to some of 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.839 the stat heroes of the day. Brady Singer appearance how nice. 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.560 What a fantastic debut for Bradie Singer. Seven innings, no 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.719 earned runs, nine k's What are your thoughts on the 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.880 masked Singer coming out of twenty twenty two Guns of 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:54.439 Blazon here? 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.720 I like it. I've always I've kind of like, unlike 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.480 Kyle Right, I've held on to Singer in Dynasty, much 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.840 to my own fault, for a while now. But I'm 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.080 hoping this is the beginning of the breakout. I'm a 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.600 big Singer fan, always have been, and I will see 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.480 if I will continue to be going forward. Would you 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.800 rather have Brady Singer called Blackburn the rest of the year? 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.960 Look, man, I agree with you, and I'm trying to 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.760 sell Blackburn in a couple of leagues. Look, if you're 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:25.000 desperate for pitching, I would say, by high on Blackburn 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.520 and ride away. I mean, he's Man, it's more than 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.040 just two starts now, It's more than just five stars now, 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.640 Like it's enough starts where you're like, something's click for 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.480 this guy. I don't know what. I don't know when 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.600 it's going to fall apart. Do all the underlying metrics 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.400 of his minor league career tell you it's probably not 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.640 a good. Yes, but this is baseball. These weird things 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.760 happen sometime, I guarantee you singers probably. I wonder what 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:49.720 his roster percentage is. What do you think Brady Singer's 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.240 roster percentage? Why don't you look at that? Why I 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.959 run through the rest of these and make yourself useful there. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.680 J McClanahan, who was our number one pitcher last night 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.600 on DFS, we basically said, just don't overthink it, just starts. McClanahan. 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.240 If you did, you did well. Seven k's, seven innings, 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.960 one earned run. Clevenger with a good start, five k's 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.000 over five innings, no earned Jose Burrios a very important 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.360 start for him, only four strikeouts but just two walks, 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.719 no earned runs over seven innings. Adrian Houser also a 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.280 nice start with six k's over six score lists. Dylan 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.040 sees again yesterday afternoon. I caught some of this one 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.880 five and two thirds for him, nine strikeouts, and Logan 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.040 Gilbert nine strikeouts for him, three earned runs and seven innings. 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.000 So Gilbert McLanahan, those were our two dudes. Did you 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.160 find the Brady Singer roster percentage? So we know where 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:33.640 we're at with that. 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.720 I did. It's It's love. It's five percent on Yaho, 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.920 the two percent of ESPN. I don't see CBS, but 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.120 I imagine it's slightly higher than those two just because of 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.000 the nature of CBS. But it's love. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.000 Well, I will tell you this. I think Brady Singer 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.200 is going to be leading the pack in the Waiver 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:50.480 Wire video this week. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.680 So that's why I look forward to that. 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.120 Well you should. This is why I see it. 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.680 I embedded in a lot of articles, so I see 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.520 those videos many times. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.760 Well, they're very entertaining thanks to Chris, he creates him entertaining. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.040 I just I just talk and talk and talk, and 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.360 he makes cool graphics to hide my goofy face. The 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.439 hitters last night, Aaron Judge only two home runs, not three, 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.120 four for five, though the guy is absolutely on fire 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:19.200 right now, certainly in the MVP conversation, if if he 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.560 was also a pitcher, but he's not, so he's really not. 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.240 In that conversation, Kyle talks to home runs too. For fuck, 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:25.360 what's that? 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.280 The chat has been since the beginning of the show, 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.680 calling for Aaron Judge, MVP adds, you know. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.280 Say aarons all they want? When he picks up the 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.200 ball and starts. Every fifth day, I'll be listening. 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.000 He's also probably in June. He's gonna like swing too 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.200 hard and like rip his rib cage, cannon or whatever 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.320 he did last time, because he's like six foot eight 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.439 and eighty five pounds. He's gonna hurt himself again. 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.200 Well, he did change the regiment. I believe he went 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.880 from less weightlifting to more yoga and stretching for the 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.640 last two years, which is also something I've done, which 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.680 is why I'm able to do so many podcasts in 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.080 a week. It is. It's very good. As you get older, 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.040 you have to stay a little bit more limber. And 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.679 people think I'm joking, but I do the yoga. I 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.600 do this stretching not before the show. Well actually technically 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:11.839 I do it before the show because I go to 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:13.680 the gym usually before the show and then come here 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.280 and do the show. So yes, so that's why I'm 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.080 all stretched out beforehand. But look, it's the same thing 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.120 a Blad Guerrero last year. Well, this is why people 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:26.080 tune into the show. Blad Guerrero was threatening a triple 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.080 crown last year, and I don't think anybody in their 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.400 right mind should vote for Blad Guarrel for MVP last 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.000 year when Otani was pitching and hitting. If you're pitching 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.520 and hitting at a high level, it's your award. Everybody 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.640 else's second place, And it's a shame to say so. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:41.960 But kind of like Well said yesterday, if you are 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.440 if you get fatigue in the voters of Otani, that's 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.160 the only thing that could creep in. But right now 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:49.800 we're living in the Otani world, and if he has 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.880 another good start tonight, forget it. It's going gonna be 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:56.000 minus money everywhere. Kyle Tucker two home runs, two for five, 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.000 Freddy Freeman with a three for four night with three 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.320 Ribi's Bookie Betts had a good night is well. He 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.360 was three for four with a dinger and two run scored. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.280 Tommy Listella my people home run, three for five. Here 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.440 Meyer three for four with a dinger, Miguel Rojas had 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.840 a home run, Anthony Rendone had a home run in 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.400 Mikey Stremsky three for four. Hopefully he picks things up 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:18.360 as well. Stat zeros Merle was bad. Merle Kelly eight 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.840 earned runs and to my boy, he's only my boy 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.120 because it's the joke of Merle Alex Cobb. I thought 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.640 he was an interesting apple play yesterday turned out to 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.160 not be the case. Seven earned runs. I traded Alex 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:34.080 Cobb right after the first start he made. I'm pleased 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.280 with this move that I made because once again the 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.720 group think about Alex Cobb was very intense, and I 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.360 link Alex Cobb is fine. I know this was in Colorado, 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.120 so you want to give him a pass. What are 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.480 your thoughts on Alex Cobb's value the rest of the 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:48.920 season for the Giants in fantasy? 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.880 I'm buying, Well, it's actually gonna ask you, would you 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.600 rather the rest of the season Merle Kelly or Alex Capp. 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.120 I'd rather have Alex Cobb because I've never been a 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.440 Merle Kelly guy. Never happen. But Cobb is gonna have 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.880 some good starts. But my thing with Cobb is always 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:06.840 the health. You know you're gonna get one hundred and 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.480 twenty innings out of Cob. I mean that's maybe it's possible. 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:15.000 Stranger things. Tyler Gilbert six earned runs for him, Nadi 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.600 Valdi six earned runs in one and two third, and 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.480 Cool Chad five earned runs in three innings. Here you go, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.360 You're ready for the hitters. I love this, by the way, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.440 every day when we go through the hitters with their 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.320 offers and their multiple k's, but this is, this is 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.520 a glorious one. Tyler O'Neal two for nine and a 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.520 double header with six strikeouts. Your thoughts on Tyler O'Neal. 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.320 I mean, I don't even know. I mean he uh. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:43.640 I've been all over the place with him in like Dynasty, 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.880 and I've been selling a lot, especially because everyone was 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.480 like buying the power speed I've never really bought into 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:53.040 like him being consistent enough to be valuable and like, 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.280 you know, love the biceps, you know, love the the 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:01.960 overall look of a chisel. O'Neal looks like a great 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:06.600 ballpaper ballplayer. But I just like this is like two 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.480 for nine is like not the worst line in the world. 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.080 But then like spoom, six k's thrown right in there, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:12.640 and I just like happen to see that, like right away, 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.200 I was like, two for nine is in the worst day, 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.080 but six strikeouts. I got to include them in the 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:16.960 zeros for that. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:24.639 Struggle with Over the years, I have struggled with Cardinals outfielders, 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:30.600 starting with Mendel Gritchick it's even Piscatti into the Harrison Baders, 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:36.159 Tyler O'Neill's, Dylan Carlson's, Randy Rosaredo was one that you know, 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.440 left the Cardinal system and went to Tampa and was great. 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.920 Then he struggled this year. So it's just it's it's 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:48.080 such a weird lineage, if you will, talent, that you're 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.080 waiting for one of them to really just kind of 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.080 work out for a long sustained period as something you 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.720 can believe it, but it is incredible. It's like it's 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.120 like almost like Cleveland Brown's quarterbacks. I feel like where 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.680 he's just like cycling through a bunch every year, you know, 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.760 like eventually it just doesn't matter. And yet there's still 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.359 Nolan Gorman hitting what he's got thirteen home runs now. 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.400 I can't even keep tracking me home runs that guy's 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.320 got in the minor leagues and he's still sitting there 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.280 and I don't get it. I just don't understand. And 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.920 it's more frightening to me that we get a guy 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.919 who over an entire day, can strike out six times 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.399
