0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ryan Warmley, joined as always by Mike Mayor. Mayor.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.239
<v Speaker 2>We are talking some pitching streamers. We're doing our two

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>start Pitcher competition. We'll hit on some stuff we're excited

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 2>for for the weekend as well. If everybody hasn't seen

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.160
<v Speaker 2>it yet, please be sure to check out Rounding the Bases,

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 2>which is part one of the cycle this week, and

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>of course our Buys and Sells and Waiver Central was

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 2>part two. As always, start us off here with some

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>of your favorite pitching streamers.

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 3>All right, so pitching streamers. Like always, we're going to

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 3>go through every day of the week, which I've seen

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 3>in YouTube comments people really like that format. They like

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 3>having a picture for every day of the week, or

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 3>sometimes we say hey this is a stay away day.

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 3>But a lot of people stream daily or almost daily,

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 3>so they like that. So the format today is the

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 3>picture I went with for Monday is the same picture

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 3>if you watched our previous video about trades and waivers.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 3>I went with Colin Raya for Monday for a very

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 3>clear reason. He's pitching against the Marlins at home, so

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 3>a great matchup. And also, if you're in a weekly

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 3>league where you have to pick up a pitcher and

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>you know if you're starting him for one of the

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 3>starts you ever started him for two could not be

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 3>more ideal because his second started on Sunday against the

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 3>White Sox. So Colin Raya Monday against the Marlins and

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Sunday against the White Sox. And do you want to

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 3>keep going any comments on Yeah, we usually run through

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 3>them all.

0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well we've done this episode enough. You you

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>know how the format goes.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 3>That's true. The last week I was the host and

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Kelly did the streamers, so it was it backwards last week.

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I will say, you know, strong indoors, I totally

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>agree on Raya. I think it's also funny that you

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>have there's real pattern.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you're gonna mix this week.

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>What is it?

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Six of the seven days are against one of two opponents,

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 2>So you're really taking advantage of the matchups here this week.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 3>I haven't really taken advantage of the matchups. And that's

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 3>in part because of the matchups and also in part

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 3>because there wasn't a lot of other like great options

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 3>those days, and so for a bunch of them, I

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 3>looked around, I was like, oh, whoever was pitching against

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 3>the Marlins? But I also like I looked at every

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 3>day pretty closely, and that's kind of where I landed

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 3>with the best options. So Monday was Colin Raya versus

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 3>the Marlins, Tuesday Ben Brown versus the Marlins as well,

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 3>and Wednesday Jamison Tyone also against the Marlins. So first

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>three pitchers, just whoever's pitching against the Marlins? Grabbing every

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.519
<v Speaker 3>picture for that series. I actually would prefer that it

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 3>was in Miami instead of you know, Chicago, but you know,

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 3>I'll always you know, take the Marlins. But there are

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 3>just like more some like great options for those days,

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 3>just like looking around, even on like Tuesday, like you know,

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Ben Brown was definitely the highest one on my list.

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 3>You could also potentially do like Brian Bayle against the Tigers,

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 3>but I didn't love that one. You know, Jose Siriano

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 3>against the Padres. I don't want to stay from that.

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Jeffrey Springs at the Dodgers, No, thank you, Casey myies

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 3>is probably rostered too many places. But like after those names,

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 3>the pitches available as like Quinn Priests against the Guardians,

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Michael Saroka against the Braves, Like, I'd rather just stream

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 3>against the Marlins and be happy with it. Thursday, we

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>gotting away from the Marlins, but we're going against the

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 3>White Sox. Nick Martinez against the White Sox. It's another day.

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 3>That's a small slate day. So that was kind of

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 3>a you know, not a ton of great options, either

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 3>for like matchups or for you know, players are probably

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 3>going to be already rostered places. One of the other

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 3>names I looked at he had a favorable matchup was

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Zach Lttel. He's only five percent consensus rostered. He's at

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 3>the Blue Jays, but he's only got twenty five strike

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 3>outs to forty one inning. He's four point six to one.

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Ear Ray, I feel like there's you know, too much

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 3>downside there for like the upside you're you're getting into.

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 3>So I was more interested in Nick Martinez against the

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:27.280
<v Speaker 3>White Sox. Friday, I posted this has like been our

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 3>trickiest day each week of for or most weeks. I

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 3>wrote it up as Dustin May or stay away. I

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 3>imagine Dusty Dustin May is rostered in your league. But

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 3>when I was looking up, I was pretty shocked to

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 3>see that his roster percentage was pretty low. If you're

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 3>in a CBS, he's likely rostered because he was rostered

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.919
<v Speaker 3>like sixty eight percent there or something like that, but

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 3>wildly available on Yahoo at ESPN, like way more than

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 3>I expected.

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Yahoo forty six percent rostered, ESPN twenty six

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 2>percent roster.

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so way lower than he should be. Like, I

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.040
<v Speaker 3>feel like he should be rostered everywhere, and so so

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 3>if you can stream, he's at home against the Angels,

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 3>So if you can stream him, he's also the kind

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 3>of picture you can potentially pick up and keep for

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 3>a little while. But maybe I'm over valuing Dustamony, but

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I like him a lot.

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Especially he's been on fan tracks. By the way, he's

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 2>eighty three percent, so he's really high there. I mean

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>it's been a struggle. Truthfully, he has one good start

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 2>in the last month, so I get why people might

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 2>have dropped him, even if the talent is still pretty high.

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that was for Friday, so Dustin may or

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 3>stay away if you're not going with that one. I

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 3>didn't like much else that was out there. Saturday, I

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 3>went with Matthew Boyd versus the White Sox. Matthew Boyd

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 3>after a really good start, still widely available, and again

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 3>you're targeting the White Sox. And then Sunday I already

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 3>mentioned it's Colin Reya again against the White Sox. So

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 3>three starts against the Marlins, three against the White Sox

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 3>and one against the Angels. Also a bottom offense without

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Mike Troupp.

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>If you're in a league where you don't have to

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>lock guys into the full week, and you pick up

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>for Monday, would you drop him for one of these

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>others Let's say you only have one real streaming spot.

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Would you drop him for one of these other guys

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 2>around the week, or would you just hold on to

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 2>him for at least that Sunday against the White Sox.

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 3>I think I'd rather just I mean, maybe Matthew Boyd,

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 3>but you wouldn't be able to pick up Matthew Boyd.

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 3>I guess you would be able to technically pick up

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Matthew Boyd, drop him Saturday night and pick up Raya

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 3>for Sunday, as long as you drop Raya immediately on

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Monday and your your waivers aren't more than like two

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 3>or three days. That would be the other one I

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.359
<v Speaker 3>would talk about just because Boyd is off to a

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 3>really good start. And then some honorable mentions, sorry, some

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.239
<v Speaker 3>honorable mentions names I considered for some of those weeks. Wednesday,

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I also liked Jose Katana at Cleveland. We've talked about

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Jose Katana before. At some point he's gonna turn back

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 3>int Jose Katana, but for now he hasn't, So maybe

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 3>try one more time. Hopefully you're not left holding the

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 3>back when he turns back Intojose Katana. Thursday a J

0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Smith shov against the Washington Nationals. Again the pitch. We

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 3>talked about all three videos this week. I think Saturday

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Andrew Rabbit against the Guardians. Also a player. He might

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 3>be roster in your league, but his roster numbers are

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 3>pretty low. And then Saturday. Also Ben Casparius against the Angels.

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 3>He's an interesting one because they're stretching him out as

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 3>a starter. But last week he did come out of

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 3>the bullpen, he got the win. Or his last start,

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 3>he came out of the bullpen, he went, he went

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 3>four and to third. He still got the win, but

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.080
<v Speaker 3>that he came after an opener. So if you're the

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 3>kind of league that needs a quality start, he's probably

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 3>not gonna be the name you're going to target because

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.119
<v Speaker 3>he might come out of the bullpen and he also

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 3>if he does start, he might not go more than

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 3>five innings.

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 2>sign for the two start pitcher competition. I noticed last

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>week you did not assign a winner for that previous week.

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Whose turn it was? I believe it would have been

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Week three's Hunter Brown versus Max Meyer. I was confused

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>why you didn't assign a winner because it seemed pretty

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 2>clear cut to me.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I didn't tally up the numbers. I mentioned on the

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 3>show that with Kelly, I just said, we'll save that

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 3>for next.

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Week, okay, because Meyer had a great first start and

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 2>then a poor second start, and Hunter Brown had two

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>very good starts. So it was a very very easy

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 2>call of looking at the points. A wide gap there.

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 2>So Hunter Brown the winner for week three. So I

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>am up two to one. Now we have to pick

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 2>the winner week four. This one I thought was a

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 2>lot closer, And I'm curious if you want to make

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 2>a case one way or the other. I had Freddy Peralta,

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you had Jacob de Gram Peralta. You know, by the scoring,

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 2>if we're strictly going on points from this league that

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 2>we have as kind of like a baseline to keep track.

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Par also got thirty seven point seven points, de Grom

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 2>thirty two point four. That would be a win for

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.719
<v Speaker 2>me this that lines are really close. So the main

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.439
<v Speaker 2>difference to the points is that Paralta got quality starts

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>both of those games, whereas de Gram didn't. But for

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Paralta twelve innings, seven hits, two runs, four walks, twelve

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts two and oh record to Gram eleven innings, seven hits,

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 2>one run, two walks, ten strikeouts, two and oh record.

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>So de Gram had one fewer innings pitched, two fewer walks,

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 2>one fewer run, two fewer strikeouts Peralta, you could argue

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 2>more consistent getting quality starts.

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:31.959
<v Speaker 3>Both those weeks.

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 2>He had two more walks, one more run, one more

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 2>inning pitched, and two more strikeouts. So really close. I

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.319
<v Speaker 2>would lean like a very slight lean towards Peralta, But

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious if you want to make the case for

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>de Gram.

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 3>I want to put this to a vote. I want

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 3>the public to vote on this. I want like YouTube

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.439
<v Speaker 3>and social media to vote on this. I want a graphic,

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.200
<v Speaker 3>and I want to say which which pitcher had the

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 3>better week. I was actually curious why Paralta had more points,

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.319
<v Speaker 3>But it makes sense that you if you're counting points

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 3>for quality starts, that would be the main difference.

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the way our lega is set up, you get

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 2>points for a win, and you get a smaller number

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:07.959
<v Speaker 2>of points. I think I want to say it's like three.

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 2>It might be four, but you get smaller points or

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 2>quality starts. So the fact that per Alta went deeper

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 2>into his games, you know, played into that. I mean

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 2>he also got an extra inning pitch, which helps in

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 2>a points league. He had two more strikeouts somewhat off set,

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, two more walks and two more strikeouts. Right,

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 2>one more run but one more inning pitch. It's they're

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:29.839
<v Speaker 2>very similar overall stat lines.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm putting it to use what they say.

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'll read those stat lines one last time for

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>people who are voting in the YouTube comments again. Jacob

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 2>de Gram eleven innings pitched seven hits, one earned run,

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 2>two walks, ten strikeouts. Friday Peralta twelve innings pitched seven hits,

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.679
<v Speaker 2>two earned runs, four walks, twelve strikeouts. Both of them

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.959
<v Speaker 2>went to and Ozer. Maybe you may or can put

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 2>a pin a comment on the YouTube channel with those

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>stat lines.

0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Or maybe our video producer can put up put up

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.679
<v Speaker 3>a graphic on the on YouTube. You can actually look

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 3>at it.

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 2>While you're I don't I don't like asking them to

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 2>do extra work. I don't mind asking you to do Actually.

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm not asking him. I'm just saying maybe, maybe, maybe

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 3>about it right now, and they do.

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're so wady to see what happens with the

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 2>last week exact where versus Shane Smith Wheeler Off obviously

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 2>off to a stronger start there. I appreciate Kelly filling in.

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I did listen to this section, so I heard her

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 2>change this at the last second, so hopefully it works

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.480
<v Speaker 2>that well for me. I you know, she tried to

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 2>leave me some better names.

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 3>For this week.

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 2>There were really two main names that I thought were intriguing.

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 2>That there was a third name, which is Paul Skeens,

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>but he had really tough matchups, so you know, I

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 2>think you and I maybe had the same line of

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 2>thinking of let's not yeah, I don't think you've used

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Skeens yet, all right, and I know I haven't, so

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 2>let's save him for maybe a better matchup week. And

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.719
<v Speaker 2>I've already used Michael King, so that's where you're going,

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'll let you speak to that in a second.

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 2>But I couldn't use King. The only other name that

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 2>was really appealing was Hunter Green. But obviously there's this huge,

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 2>huge asterisk here of the injury, which we are not

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 2>yet sure we're waiting this MRI, So if you'll allow it.

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to pick Hunter Green and say, regardless of

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 2>how he does, he is my locked and guy. If

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 2>he is healthy enough to make these starts. If the

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 2>injury changes his status and he's no longer a two

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 2>star pitcher, I have a backup here, and I think

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>you will allow me to pick this backup because he's

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 2>been absolutely horrific lately. But like I said, there weren't

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 2>a ton of options I really liked. I did consider, actually,

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>given his matchups, I went with Shane Boz because of

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 2>the matchups. He gets a game at Miami, which, as

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 2>you highlighted when talking about the streamers, is extremely appealing.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.959
<v Speaker 2>He also gets at Toronto, who have been really, really

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>bad against right handed pitchers this year. Boz obviously has

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>high upside when he's been on. As of late, that

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>has not been the case. So I'm really hoping I

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>don't have to use him. That Hunter Green is healthy

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 2>and I can take advantage of him getting the White

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Sox and the Guardians. But if the health does not

0:12:56.240 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 2>pan out, I will accept this struggling backup option here,

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Shane Boz.

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 3>If that works for you, Yeah, I was gonna say,

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 3>Shane Boz has been bad, bad lately, so that's a

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 3>that's a bold choice, but not as bold as the

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 3>guy who just left with an injury. So two bold choices.

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:12.439
<v Speaker 3>We'll see if either one.

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't think Green's not bold if he's plays.

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>And again, we just saw Reagan's actually come back from

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>a groin injury against the White Sox and do quite well,

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 2>So you know, maybe we get the same from Green.

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Be even more generous to you for your for your backup.

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 3>In the event that Hunter Green misses his first start

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 3>and makes his second, and in the event that Shane

0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Boz makes his first start and then gets sent down,

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 3>you can have Boz's first start and green second start

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 3>as your two week.

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Will that be allowed to use half of a Green

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 2>week again in the future or is he off the

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.239
<v Speaker 2>board in that scenario.

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 3>That's a good question. I don't know what'll play is

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 3>about your how it goes.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, like I said, I would have picked

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 2>King obviously, but I have already used him, and then

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't want to use Skimes this week. I

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 2>think it's the Mets and the Phillies he's facing and

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 2>everybody else I thought was halfway decent. I was really

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 2>worried about the I either didn't like the matchups or

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 2>didn't like the picture. Like I said, Raya was a

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 2>guy I considered, but I couldn't have my official picks

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 2>be Shane Smith and Colin Rayo back to back weeks.

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 2>That just felt icky.

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>So not that bo.

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna be really furious with myself if the scenario

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 3>I just presented to you happens and I lose the

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 3>week and you lose because of it.

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well we'll see how it goes.

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 3>Any quick thoughts on King, just two good matchups and

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 3>a good picture. Like you said, there weren't another a

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of other great names of target. I didn't really

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 3>want to put my faith in Colin ray especially if

0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 3>someone who's already losing the contest. So yeah, Michael King,

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 3>just good matchups, good picture. Also in our points league

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 3>that weren't together. I actually benched him last week because

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 3>you've only had one start and it was against the Yankees,

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 3>and I had other pictures who were like going two

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 3>starts and it worked out for me. But you know,

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 3>it's not often you bench Michael King. I don't have

0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 3>a cad for it. But this week definitely start him.

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get to our weekend excitement here. Not

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 2>a ton you know stuff going on. I don't just

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Cubs Mets in general is gonna be really fun series

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to first place teams, Phillies, Guardians, you know, a fun

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>series as well. And then the one real pitching matchup

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to high was just Garrett Crochet Verus Cole

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Reagan's like, that's obviously really fun just in terms of

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 2>those two guys going to get going against each other.

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, will be a lot of strikeouts in that one.

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 3>I went with my wife being back to help me

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 3>watch my kids because she's been gone all week and

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 3>it's been a struggle, and I've been I've been counting

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 3>it down, like you know, sometimes it's like, you know,

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 3>three more sleeps till Christmas. I've been counting it down

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 3>of like like two more bedtimes and two more daycare

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 3>drop offs until my wife is back. So she's back

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 3>tonight and really looking forward to that. Have you have

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 3>you been busy?

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>You've never mentioned it.

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 3>I've been pretty busy.

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, We'll get out of here on that one

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 2>so you can get back to watching your kids. Prior

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 2>to your wife getting back. We will put up a

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 2>poll on YouTube. Mayor will put up a pole. Hopefully

0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 2>we'll get a graphic too when you when you put

0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 2>this out to the people in the comments, I mean,

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 2>if they listened to, they'll know who was who. But

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.320
<v Speaker 2>just for anybody reading the comments, just put the stat lines.

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't put like de gram did this and this was

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Mayor's pick, Worm's pick, pra Alta did this. Just say

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>which was the better stat line for fantasy this week.

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I have a feeling they might lean towards your pick

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>in that regard, but we'll see.

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 3>If you can add.

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 2>You can add to the stat line one of these

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 2>guys got two quality starts and the other did not.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.080
