<v Speaker 3>Hello everybody, Welcome into the cycle. I'm Ryan Warmley, joined

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.200
<v Speaker 3>as always by Mike Mayor. If you miss parts one

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.040

<v Speaker 3>check those out either on YouTube or wherever you listen

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 3>to your podcast. Or We did round in the bases

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 3>and our buys and sales and waiver picks. We are

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 3>now talking some pitching streamers, will of course do our

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 3>two start pitcher competition as well and talk about what

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 3>we're excited about this weekend. Mayor start us off as

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 3>we always do for this segment with our pitching streamers,

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 3>and we've definitely settled into the pattern of kind of

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 3>one per every day of the week here, so take

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 3>us Monday to Sunday.

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so similar to last week, and some of that

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 4>we've talked about in a few reason videos. It's not

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.960
<v Speaker 4>great out there if if you need pitching and you're

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 4>streaming pitching. Some of the names are are pretty gross.

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 4>And I will reiterate with something that you said last

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 4>week where sometimes the best decision is just to not

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 4>stream anybody, which for one of the days I actually

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 4>wrote just stay away, stay away.

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 3>From I think last week the day that that prompted

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 3>me to say that was Friday, And this week I

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 3>noticed Friday is the day you wrote stay away. Maybe

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Fridays are just bad streaming days.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 4>It could just it could just be the Fridays are

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 4>bad streaming days. Some of the other names that you

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 4>can potentially stream, and some of these, you know you

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 4>have to assume, you know, either you're in a daily

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 4>league where you can kind of you know, either change

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 4>your lineup every week or a drops or change your

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 4>lineup every day or make ad drops every day, and

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 4>other times you know, maybe it's it's a weekly streamer,

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 4>and so for some of them, maybe you can get

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 4>like a two star pitcher, which one of them I included.

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 4>For Monday, I have JP Sears at Texas at the Rangers.

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 4>They are going to be without Corey Seeger, and they

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 4>already are according to our pitching streaming tool, they are

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 4>one of the bottom offenses, meaning they're a good team

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 4>to stream against right now, just based on recent performance.

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't think that's going to stay the case all year,

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.119
<v Speaker 4>but at least right now they are not hitting well,

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 4>and so they are a target to stream against, and

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 4>so JP Sears up to a fine start three point

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 4>two to one ERA. He's available in most leagues consensus

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 4>roster percentages like fourteen percent. Tuesday, I have someone we

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 4>already mentioned. I have Andrew Heeney, who has been a

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 4>two star pitcher. Of course, as of right now, he's

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 4>protected to be a two star pitcher. The only problem

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 4>is that his two stars are against the Cubs and

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 4>the Padres, two of the better offenses in the league.

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.519
<v Speaker 4>And so you're kind of really getting an Andrew Heeney

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 4>truth test here of how just how legit this start

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 4>is for him, and you're gonna find out next week.

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Even though I think some of the Cubs stuff. I

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 4>know a lot of people think they have like the

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 4>best offensive baseball or one of the best offenses in baseball,

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 4>I think some of that is is going to kind of,

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, come back down to earth. I don't know

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 4>that their offense is going to be this good all year.

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 4>Wednesday is actually probably my favorite pick of the week.

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 4>Tobias Myers. You know, I don't necessarily necessarily love grabbing

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 4>a name, grabbing a picture just coming off the injured

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 4>list to start right away, but he is starting at

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 4>the White Sox, and so if you're going to come

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.119
<v Speaker 4>off the injured list, a nice softlantic spot is going

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 4>against White Sox, and so Tobias Myers is a picture

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 4>who I like. He's kind of maybe just kind of

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 4>like a guy, but he's also just been like really

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 4>solid for a pretty you know, like all last season.

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 4>I kept waiting. I think there was actually one point

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 4>early in the year in the two Star pitcher competition

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 4>where I was like, oh, maybe I'll just stream Tobias Myers,

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 4>like as a joke, and then he was just like

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 4>really good, Like the rest of the year, and I

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 4>was like, oh, joke's on me. Thursday, not the biggest name,

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 4>but also attacking the White Sox Chad Patrick, who was

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 4>off to you know, a fine start with the with

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 4>the Brewers, and just again attacking that White Sox offense.

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how long Chad Patrick's going to be

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 4>in the rotation because they have some pitchers coming back,

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 4>but for now he's pitching fine and he's got the

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 4>White Sox. Friday, I have is a stay away. I

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 4>looked at some names for Friday and it was hard

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 4>to get there. There's Ben Brown against the Brewers. I

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 4>wasn't crazy about, Michael Waka against the Orioles, Mitch Keller

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 4>against the Padres. Mitch Keller might all if you can

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 4>stream him, maybe you can do it, but he's probably rostered.

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 4>He's below the fifty percent threshold on this tool. But

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 4>my guess is if you're in CBS or Yahoo, he's

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 4>probably already rostered. And then Quinn Priester, I don't know

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 4>that I would stream him against the Cubs despite everything

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 4>I just said about the Cubs. Do you want to

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 4>take your life into Charlie Morton's hands and go against

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 4>the Royals.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 3>Charlie Morton needs to retire a month ago. I mean

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.359
<v Speaker 3>he's so washed.

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and that's really it, unless you want to go

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 4>with Michael Soroka, Jonathan Cannon, Ryan Feldner, Like Friday is

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 4>just to stay away day for me.

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 3>No, you've proven your point.

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 4>Saturday, Jamison tyone against the Brewers. Tyone is his numbers

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 4>aren't that great, but he got off to kind of

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 4>like a rough star and he's been fine his last

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 4>few starts, and so he's an interesting streaming candidate to

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 4>stream against the Brewers at Milwaukee. And then Sunday, I

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 4>kind of have pick your poison of two pagers going

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.359
<v Speaker 4>up against each other. Do you want and Vasquez going

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 4>up against the Pirates or Andrewheny going up against the Padres?

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 4>Andrewhiney being a if you're in a weekly league, you'd

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 4>be a two star pitcher. But does have the Cubs

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 4>in the Padres. And then the honorable mention I have

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 4>is I forget what day it was on, but I

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.279
<v Speaker 4>have Tyler Anderson at Seattle is kind of like a

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 4>bonus one for someone who might be available in your league.

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 4>It looks like it's Wednesday. Tyler Anderson at Seattle is

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 4>another name that kind of jumped out to me. If

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 4>someone I'd be fine streaming against the.

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Mariners, Anderson will probably be my favorite if available. I

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 3>guess like Buyers, Tyne or the other favorites. It's not

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 3>a particularly eye popping slick you know group of names here.

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 4>No, it's the waiver wire is thin right now for pitching,

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 4>so if you're streaming, you know you have to really

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 4>pick your spots.

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.239
<v Speaker 3>Does this make you, like going through this exercise, maybe

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 3>more inclined to take a value hit in a trade

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 3>of like a hitter for a pitcher you were trying

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 3>to just add pitching and not have to do as

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 3>much streaming.

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.479
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. It's hard to say, just because I

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 4>have a couple of leads where I really really need hitting,

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 4>and so it's hard to think about. Like from the

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 4>reverse perspective, I tend to lean wanting hitting because I

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 4>think it's harder to find like long term hitting replacements

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 4>or stream hitters where I think, with like streaming pictures,

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 4>I can always just stream volume and it's like gonna

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna have some rough spots, but if you're right

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 4>more than you're wrong, and you also have a few

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 4>decent starters on your team. The numbers should work out

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.559
<v Speaker 4>in the end, like the law of large numbers, unless

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 4>you're just like streaming and getting blown up time and

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 4>time again. But I do. I do kind of like

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 4>in some leagus depending on how it goes, like having

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 4>almost like one spot where I dedicate, like a streaming picture,

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 4>especially where I could just like file in like two

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 4>star pitchers, or like a good matchup paired with starters

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 4>that I really like, and then just locking in as

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 4>many good hitters as I can.

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Let's go to our two start pitcher competition. We'll check

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 3>out how we did in Week two, which is most

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 3>recent completed week. You had Tweak Schooble against the Brewers

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 3>and the Royals. He got twenty eight point four points.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 3>In our league, I had Max Freed against the Royals

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 3>as well, and the race he got thirty six point

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 3>two points, so I come await the victor there. Evening

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 3>up the season at one and one, we wanted to

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 3>make a note of checking to see how Taiwan Walker did.

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 3>He combined for three Fantasy points all right, so we

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 3>were definitely correct to not buy into the early decent

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 3>start of Taiwan Walker. We're still waiting to see how

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Hunter Brown versus Max Meyer goes, or if it doesn't

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 3>end up being Brown, is it still looking like Brown

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 3>will make the second start? Actually haven't love.

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna ask you, I haven't looked, I haven't.

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 3>Checked, so possibly Hunter Brown for me, possibly Bryce Miller

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 3>and how their first starts. When I'm certainly hoping it's

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 3>Hunter Brown. We'll see what ends up being the case there.

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.719
<v Speaker 3>But Mayor's got Max Meyer, who obviously got off to

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 3>a very strong start here in the week. We'll see

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 3>how that goes for a week four this upcoming week.

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 3>I went first, kind of another week of like not

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 3>a ton of like names I loved. I ended up

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 3>going with Freddy Peralta because he's getting the Chicago teams.

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 3>He's at the White Sox, and he's home versus the Cubs,

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 3>and he's off to a pretty good start this season. So,

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 3>like I said, I didn't. I didn't kind of want

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 3>to overthink it. I just went for someone who has

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 3>pitched pretty well and who has you know, he gets

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 3>the White Sox, which is just always going to be

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of a not that I needed a tiebreaker in

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.719
<v Speaker 3>this case, but it's always going to be somebody that

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 3>I will will gravitate towards. Do you have do you

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 3>have any We haven't really talked about Paralta this year

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 3>so far, just any kind of quick thoughts on what

0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 3>we've seen out of him. I mean, yesterday he pitched

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 3>poor Lee prior to me putting his name in the sheet,

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 3>so that makes it look a little bit less. He

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 3>had five innings, three earned runs, and three strikeouts yesterday.

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Prior to that, his e RA was one ninety one.

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.440
<v Speaker 3>I think his whip was under one before yesterday, so

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 3>he had looked pretty good so far.

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and yesterday he had four shoutout innings before the

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 4>wheels came off. So it was really that fifth inning

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 4>that got him. And I know because I bet his

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 4>under two and a half fronts and uh I lost

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.319
<v Speaker 4>that one. And I was and I remember, like, I

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I was like going to sleep

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:36.959
<v Speaker 4>or put my kids to bed. I was like, oh, sweet,

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 4>four shot out of inning. It's like, oh, I just

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 4>need like another inning or two and get him out

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 4>of there and we'll win this bet. And then uh nope,

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 4>three three. But yeah, I like Freddy Pralt. I think

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 4>he was maybe like overrated a couple of years ago,

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 4>and now he's maybe underappreciated. I just think he's like

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 4>a good like, you know, not an ace, but like

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.199
<v Speaker 4>a you know, a two B one type starting pitcher

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.599
<v Speaker 4>who I think is going to be fine. Also a

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 4>Hunter Brown. It does look like it's going to be

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 4>a two star pitcher. I know there was some talk

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 4>that Lance mccullors could return and pitch for the Astros.

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 4>Does not appear to be the case, and he's currently

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 4>lined up to start against the Royals on Sunday.

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 3>That is quality news for my to start pitcher competition

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.079
<v Speaker 3>because I need a great foot forward to beat Max

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Meyer coming off of his first start of the week.

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 3>All right, so Freddy Paralza for me, who is your pick?

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 4>I went with Jacob de Grom, who has the Athletics

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 4>not in Sacramento and has the Seattle Mariners, both starts

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 4>in Texas, and I figure, use Jacob de Groam while

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 4>you can, because who knows if he's going to be

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 4>there in June.

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 3>I'd rather just not use him at all this year.

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he hasn't been that bad. He just hasn't

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 4>not sp one as some people.

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Haven't yet just not out of the Joe a Rica

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 3>not really buying in. Do the athletics scare you not

0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 3>in Sacramento?

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean that lineup looks better and better.

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Every day, especially Yeah, I was gonna say, like, it's

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 3>a pretty fun lineup, like even aside from the ballpark.

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean the ballpark especially scares me. But yeah

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 4>there they are no longer an offense that I'm targeting intentionally.

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 4>It just happened to be. I wanted to see how

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 4>du Graham could do. But yeah, there's a that lineup

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 4>is looking pretty good, especially if Brett Rooker gets going.

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's look at our weekend excitement here. To wrap

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 3>things up, I almost just wrote down only one thing.

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 3>I did end up writing more, but like we get

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Paul Skeens versus Yamamoto that rules cannot wait to watch

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 3>that You did write it in all caps, Yeah, because

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm super excited about it. It's like, I mean, how

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 3>many pitching matchups could you come up with right now

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 3>that you'd be more excited to watch than that? Not many,

0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't think.

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.959
<v Speaker 4>There was someone in YouTube comments last week who called

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Yamamoto mid after our like Ace conversation, which I didn't

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't agree with what's really really good based on

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 4>what I don't know.

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I listen. I respect Fring opinions and if

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.559
<v Speaker 3>they want to make the case go ahead, but like

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 3>for me, my only real question with Yamamoto coming into

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 3>this season was like just giving that its the Dodgers,

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Like how many innings do we actually get? Do they

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 3>give him a phantom? I l stints? Do they take

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 3>him out after the fifth enning a lot of time?

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 3>You know? That was my concern when he's on the mound.

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 3>I pretty much have no concerns about Yamamoto at all.

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 3>I think he's really good. So that's my stats. I'm

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 3>going on in a limit thing. I think Yama Moto

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 3>good picture.

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Rest everyone as much anymore because they are currently in

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 4>third place in the West.

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Sure sure, yeah yeah. Skeens versus Amamoto. Super excited about

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.559
<v Speaker 3>Shane bos versus Michael King is a really fun one

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 3>of two arms that we like a lot. Then we

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 3>get Max Meyer versus Bryce Miller, which I wrote down

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 3>just because it was possibly going to be our two

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 3>start pictures going head to head. Sounds like I will

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 3>get to stick with Hunter Brown, as I made clear

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 3>last week, So maybe that one will be as exciting

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.199
<v Speaker 3>for us personally. But yeah, Skeens versus Adam Yamamoto was

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 3>a big one for me.

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 4>For me, I wrote down the NFL Draft always a

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 4>very exciting time for me. I love the NFL Draft.

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 4>I loved when it was all day on Saturday, because

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 4>my friends and I would get together and just have

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 4>like an all day like out. We would like put

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 4>a TV outside and like barbecue and make a whole

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 4>day of it. I kind of don't love the three

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 4>day extravaganza of like one round and then two more

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 4>rounds and then wrapping it up on.

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Some Yeah, like two days was fine when it was

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 3>like rounds one and two and then three to seven,

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 3>but like, yeah, three days is I don't need that. Yeah,

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 3>And by the time round one ends, I'm like I

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 3>want to keep going, Like give me another round.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's brutal, especially like you know, as fans of

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 4>teams that are often picking towards the end of the draft,

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 4>like you wait all night and then like your team

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 4>like trades out of the first round.

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 3>You're like, that's happened so many times.

0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.440
<v Speaker 4>I also wrote down I wanted to see more Nick

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 4>Kurtz and he's going to be at home in that

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 4>in that ballpark, which I'm excited to watch. I just

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 4>decided to watch him like in general and like see

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 4>you know if this you know power is legit, and

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 4>just like I'm just excited to watch a young prospect

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 4>like that. And then while you went with all the Aces,

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 4>I kind of wrote down a bunch of other names

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 4>of pictures I wanted to see just because they're off

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 4>over this really strong starts.

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 3>All the Aces, I wrote down schemes and Yamamoto that's.

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:21.720
<v Speaker 4>It, well the other and Max Meyer, Well you wrote

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 4>down like some exciting pitching matchups. I wrote down some

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 4>kind of like middle of the road names who I'm

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 4>just excited to kind of like see, like Mitchell Parker

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 4>or someone we haven't really talked about. He's after a

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 4>really strong start, doesn't seem that real to me. But

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 4>also like I just kind of want to see Tyler Molly,

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 4>someone we've talked about on the show. He's like seems

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 4>like a lot of smoke and mirrors, but he's after

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 4>a really strong start. And then Nicolodola also off to

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 4>a strong start. He's pitching in Colorado, which I you know,

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 4>grimacing emoji at that one. Yeah, I'm interested to see

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 4>like a lot of those pictures who are just off

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 4>to like really good starts, Like what's what's going on here?

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 4>How long is this going to go on for? Like

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 4>are wheels going to come off with immediately? Is it

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 4>going to kind of be like a first half thing?

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 4>And then the last time I wrote down is walk Bueller,

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 4>who has like been on a pretty good run, but

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 4>it just doesn't pass the eye test to me, Like

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 4>I watch him pitch and I'm like, this doesn't look right,

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 4>like the velocity's down, it's not really like getting a

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 4>lot of like swing and miss, like it just seems

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 4>like disaster is about to happen at any turn there.

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 4>And so I'm interested to watch him pitch again because

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.880
<v Speaker 4>even though the numbers have looked fine the last few starts,

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 4>it just like, like I said, it doesn't really pass

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 4>the eye test to me, like something looks off here.

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 3>We will wrap up there. Thanks everybody for tuning in

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 3>to hopefully all three sections of the cycle, whether you're

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 3>watching on video or listening on whatever audio platform you

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 3>used to get your podcasts. Next week I will. It's

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.320
