WEBVTT - BFFs 7/19 Hour 2: Tyreek Hill Not Suspended, Aaron Boone Epic Rant, MLB Trade Deadline 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:35.880 T G. Yeah. Now welcome your b your host, Bye 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:45.880 eight bro Mine Rights, fun your house by Guy Rob 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:51.160 Sat Francis PR stand ball ladies and tell me your 0:00:51.320 --> 0:01:00.400 p to be a best action Hour begins now. I 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.840 am Frank Stanfeld. We had to let Eric Young go 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.839 because I didn't want to torture him by talking about baseball. 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.840 That's why I kept my buddy Michael Florio around. We're 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.800 gonna do a little MLB trade deadline special here in 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.160 the second hour, kind of relate that back into some 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.880 MLB betting futures and you know, try and figure out 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.160 who you can get value on right now before they 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.360 make moves at the MLB trade deadline. I do want 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.959 to reset though, for people who weren't listening to the 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.280 first hour, just talk about the Tyreek Hill news once 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.399 again before we get into some of the MLB trade 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.840 deadline stuff. Look, Tyreek Hill, if you haven't heard, you 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.600 probably live under a rock. He will not be suspended 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.760 this year by the NFL with the ongoing investigation, with 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.440 everything that's going on regarding Tyreek Hill, so it seems 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.040 like as long as he stays healthy, he's going to 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:52.520 be here for the entire season. For the Kansas City Chiefs. Mike, 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.760 I know that you were doing a Best Ball draft 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.840 earlier on before the show. Let's remind people where you 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.000 saw Tyreek Hill go in that raft. Once this news 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.840 was announced, he went sixth overall, behind the Big four 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.079 running backs and David Johnson, and I was very surprised 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.160 to see that. I think he is a top six 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.280 or seven wide receiver easily regardless of format. But to 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.840 take him over, you know, d Hop and those guys, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.560 I get it. It's best ball. He's gonna have those 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.919 huge spike weeks where he just puts up ridiculous numbers. 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.320 But I was a little shocked to see him go 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.040 sixth overall. I did, frank though. I woke up this 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.640 morning and I was on the clock in another Best 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.519 Ball draft, and I joined in the Sunday and we're 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.560 only in round four. I was on the clock in 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.440 round four when I woke up and saw the Tyree 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.400 Killed news. So I got Tyreek Kill in the end 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.560 of round four. I was pretty happy about that. That 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.560 is awesome. That is that is great. You know, I 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.840 actually have a story that's the reverse of that. So 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.320 I was on the clock earlier this morning. I can't 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.919 really argue with this pick either. I was I was 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.000 in the third round, I have the second pick overall, 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.520 and Antonio Brown was still there. So I'm like, all right, 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.280 I'll take Antonio Brown. I'll double down on wide receiver. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.600 I start to draft Alvin Kamara, Mike Evans, and Antonio Brown. 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.799 I love it. And then we get the Tyreek Hill 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.959 news and two picks later, he goes off the board 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.000 at three four. So that person is obviously feeling great 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.040 about getting him at that point based on what you 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.120 just told me. You know, sixth overall really really aggressive 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.359 for fantasy football drafts. When it comes to Tyreek Hill. 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.000 We know what kind of upside he has. I get 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.040 it for best ball, but uh, in terms of consistency, 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.280 I think Davontae Adams and DeAndre Hopkins, might you know, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.240 edge him out there in terms of on a week 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.440 to week basis what we can expect from these guys 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.680 from a fantasy perspective. Mike, let me ask you this. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.600 You said that you have a draft that's going really, 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.840 really slow. Do you have a gentleman in there by 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.680 the name of Project Mayhem by any chance? Uh? If 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.360 you give me a minute, I could pull up the 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.360 draft and check. I'll let you pull that up. I 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.840 really hope that this gentleman is all right, because he 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.360 is in my draft as well. He has timed out 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.040 twice already. We are in the third round. He it 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.640 is at three five he and Mike. This is a 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.560 best ball draft. You have eight hours to select. He 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.520 has timed out with his first pick, he has timed 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.600 out with his second pick, and he is currently has 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.800 been on the clock for five hours. He is now 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.120 under three hours picking. Honestly, I just hope that he's 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.720 all right at this point, because you don't have to 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.599 have a really, really good excuse to use all of 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.839 your time on your first two picks in a best 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.880 ball draft. And now considering you know, we're in the 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:27.240 third round and h he's used five hours already, Project Mayhem. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.279 If for any chance you are listening or watching this 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.040 right now, I hope that you're all right. Mike. Have 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.040 you had enough time to pull up your draft and 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.240 see if he's in it. He is not in it. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.480 But there is someone with the name Stump s t 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.880 u MPF, And for a hot second I thought maybe 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.839 we were in the same draft together. That's actually uh 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.800 that's the bizarro version of me. So I'm Frank Standfell 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.560 and uh, that's that's stump drafting against Michael Floria. I'm 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.520 sure his team is terrible, you know, that's what That's 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.320 what the bizarro version of me would be, Mike. You 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.040 know because obviously I'm um the best draft of all time. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.159 That's how this works, right, I actually don't love his 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.440 You are not gonna like his team at all either. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.799 He started, he had won three. He started Zeke, that's obvious. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.719 He then followed it up with Cooper. Maybe he's a 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.600 Cowboys fan. You're not gonna like the next two picks, 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.440 Leonard Fournette at three three and then Calvin Ridley at 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.760 four ten. I like Calvin Ridley. I get it for bestball. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:25.120 Four ten is a little bit over his adp Leonard Fournett. Look, 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.200 I can I can make both k I can see 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.320 why people would want him. I can make the case 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.720 why you would want him for fantasy football. I just 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.600 think that the downside is a little bit more evident 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.560 apparent when it comes to uh to Leonard Fournett, Mike, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.320 I want to bring this back to Tyreek Hill and 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.479 the and the Kansas City Chiefs Chiefs real quick. Bring 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.120 it back to betting for a second. The Kansas City 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.560 Chiefs have the second highest, second best odds to win 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.600 the Super Bowl this year at eight to one. Doesn't 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.880 Does that shock you because I still feel like their 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:59.120 defense is not good. That does not shock me. First 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.760 of all, I think you know you're better at betting 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.839 than me. You know more about it, you do it more. 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:09.320 But I do think they're definitely gonna play up on 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.320 the hype of the Chiefs. Like the Chiefs are this 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.640 super talented offense and people want to root for them, 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.800 people want to watch them. I think that mate impact 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.960 the numbers. Plus, I think Patrick Mahomes is the most talented, 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.840 if not one of the top three most talented qbs 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.520 in the league, and that that offense right there, Like, 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.440 I mean, they were a couple of plays away from 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.640 beating the Patriots and being in the Super Bowl last year, 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.080 so it's not crazy to me. I'm guessing the biggest 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.640 odds though, are the Patriots right Yeah, they are the 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.000 favorites right now at seven to one plus seven hundred 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.680 on the FanDuel Sports book. I'm wondering if this Tyreek Hill, uh, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.520 this Tyreek Hill news that came out is going to 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.200 affect the odds. Are you know, are people gonna start 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.400 to bet on the Kansas City Chiefs Marrow, We're gonna 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.560 see this line move a little bit. I mean, I 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.400 don't really think that they can surpass the New England Patriots. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.599 You know, I just I worry about this defense. Are 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.880 they gonna be able to make enough play as in 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:05.120 the postseason two ultimately be able to win, because that's 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:06.840 what held them back last year, right, Like you can 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.119 blame the coin flip, and if they win the coin flip, 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.360 you know, maybe we're talking about them winning the Super 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.880 Bowl last year, but the fact they lost that corn 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.400 coin flip you kind of saw. The downside of the 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.680 Kansas City Chiefs is that I still have a lot 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.560 of concern about their defense. They couldn't stop a nosebleed 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.280 last year. They obviously couldn't stop the New England Patriots 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.480 in the a f C Championship. So it's gonna be 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.680 interesting to see if these odds change at all now 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.840 with the Tyreek Hill news coming out regarding the Kansas 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.880 City Chiefs, they are still the second favorite on the 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.400 board to win Super Bowl fifty four here in the year, 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.520 I guess it's gonna be at that point, but the 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.960 twenty season here uh in the NFL, Mike, I also 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.240 just got this update that Aaron Boone will be suspended 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:52.480 one game. I mean, look, what can we say about 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.280 this Aaron Boone rant from yesterday? Ivied he earned my respect? 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.200 I mean that was just that was awesome to see. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.920 I've been very critical of Aaron Boone, especially earlier on 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.320 in the season, but look, this is now two years 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.560 in a row that the Yankees are probably going to 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.480 win one games. I don't really know how you can 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.000 bash Aaron Boone anymore at this point, even if it's 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.360 like Brian Cashman in the front office who are making 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.000 the lineups and telling him everything to do. You love 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.040 to see that passion from your manager, and I'm sure 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.760 you can appreciate that. Just based on everything that's been 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.440 going on with the New York Mets. What do you 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.200 what do you think about yesterday? The savages in the 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.280 box and Aaron Moon It was the best man, best 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.000 thing any manager has done, in my opinions, since the 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.040 Terry Collins no his Synderguard outburst. We got a couple 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.640 of years back. That was awesome too. They're on the 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.559 same level to me, like, they're both just hilarious and 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.040 and I saw some people defending the Umps and saying 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.640 Boone shouldn't react like that, but umpires are not really 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.160 held to any standards at all, and they get away 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.520 with making bad calls and making games ump shows. So 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.720 when they're not doing a good job, I'm okay with 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.120 the manager, you know, telling them they're not doing a 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.520 good job. And it sucks for me, but even I 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.520 have to it, man, Like I think Boone should get credit. 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.240 The Yankees are if not, you know, they're in the 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.800 top three teams easily. I think if them in the 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.680 Ashills is gonna come down to the A L and 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.800 the winner will get to take on the Dodgers. But man, 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.199 those three teams are just heading shoulders above everyone else 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.640 in my opinion, just an absolutely epic rant by Aaron 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.440 Boone yesterday. I had to agree that at some point, 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.600 you know, I watched this rand maybe like five ten 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.280 times yesterday, at some point I did kind of feel 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.320 bad for the umpire. I think he's a rookie ump 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.120 as well, so um that kind of played into it. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.120 Did you see the extended version, all the stuff that 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.560 Aaron Boone was also saying from like the dugout even 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.520 before that, like he was he was really getting into this, 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.360 this rookie ump even before he went out, like he 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.880 was tossed from the dugout. And then that's when he 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.360 came out and he's like, I'm gonna get my two 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.400 cents worth and you see, you know, Brett Gardner in 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.880 the background clap in his hands and stuff. Honestly, I 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.480 would play the audio on here, but we can't because 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.160 you know, there are there are a ton of f 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.240 bombs dropped in there. But if you haven't seen that 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.040 rant yet from Aaron Boone yesterday, you should because it 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.959 is one of the most epic ones that we've seen, 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.480 you know, in perhaps ever when it comes to baseball. Obviously, 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:10.800 you know, we don't we don't know what they used 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.160 to say back in the day with all these all 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.480 these guys that were you know, kicking dirt on the plate, 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.120 kicking dirt out on the umps, and you know, throwing 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.679 throwing basses around and throwing throwing home plate around and 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.760 all this other crazy stuff. We've seen some crazy stuff. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.199 We've seen some crazy stuff. So far, Uh, what do 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.280 you got my I was gonna say, I have one question, 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.440 though I did see the extended version. I don't have 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.800 a question of what Boone was doing, but what the 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:41.200 hell was Brett Gardner doing? So like the bad thing right, So, 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.000 like he was hitting where they where they hold the helmets, 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.320 and then he started hitting above the dugout. I guess 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.280 like the roof over the dugout and everything that I 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.160 saw on it was that last time he kind of 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.600 threw it like a a tirade in the in the dugout. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.760 It was when he threw his helmet off and it 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.560 came back and smack him in the face and he 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.800 had to get like six stitches in his lip. So 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:06.840 I think he's kind of like learning from his mistakes 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.720 and he's like, all right, I'm not gonna throw my 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.440 helmet anymore. I'm not gonna try and like you know, 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.680 bash anything that can kind of like come back and 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.880 fly at me and hurt me. So it's good to 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.280 see that. You know, Brett Gardner, uh, the old wily 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.120 veteran that he is, he's obviously learns from his mistakes. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.320 So you know, he very quietly, you know, starts just 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.160 jamming his bat into where the helmets are are held 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.840 and starts ramming it into the roof of the dugout 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.240 as well, and all along. If you watch the clip 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.800 of all this happening, Aaron Hicks is like in the 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.800 hole right in front of him, just like trying to 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.800 hold back laughter because he doesn't he can only hear 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.199 what's going on behind him, but he couldn't see it. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:44.959 It was awesome. That was low key one of the 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.640 funniest parts to just him like like holding his face smirking, 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.559 because that's how like I would be, even like someone 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.120 was freaking out of like at work, and like Aaron 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.760 Boone just reacted like one of us. That was I'm 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.439 not Aaron Boon, Aaron Hicks. That was just hilarious. And Frank, 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.920 I think, I think your boy Brett Gardner needs to 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.840 come to Queen's real quick and teach Jeff McNeil that lesson, 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.800 because I don't remember it was last night or two 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.520 nights ago, but McNeil got out at a big point 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.880 and went into the dugout and threw his bat kind 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.840 of like a spear, and it like hit off the 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.520 wall and came back at him, so he he needs 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.160 that listen as well. Well, you know, Jeff McNeil is 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.640 still young, so I could kind of give him the 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.839 benefit of the doubt, like hopefully he learns from that, 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.560 you know, even uh, even Brett Gardner again, he had 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.720 to learn from his mistakes throwing his helmet off the 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.400 wall and the coming back and flying at him. Uh, 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.240 anyone downstairs, any of the producers that we have downstairs, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.080 if you could just let me know whether or not 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:36.760 we're going to break or not, if we're just gonna 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:41.440 blow through it, keep going, all right, So we're gonna 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.320 keep going. We're gonna keep going here. I'm gonna we'll 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.560 start talking about the MLB trade deadline here. Obviously, Mike, 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.840 you saw up close in personal last night, Uh, Madison 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.960 Bumgarner going up against the Mets, and you know, he 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:54.880 looked awesome. And I think a lot of us were 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:58.400 obviously wrong on Madison Bumgarner this year. From a fantasy perspective, 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.320 do you think that bum Earner is the top picture 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.360 on the market, because I don't know that there is 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.319 a I don't know that there's a legitimate ace, right, 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.199 like someone that you feel really really really great about 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.280 acquiring at the deadline, Like, there's a lot of really 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.280 good pictures from bum Garner to to Trevor Bauer and 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.600 Robbie Ray and Matt Boyd and Marcus Stroman and all 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.240 these guys. Do you think bum Gunner is the top 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.839 guy at the MLB trade deadlines that teams should be 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.199 looking to acquire if they need a picture. I think 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.640 as long as I don't really believe that Trevor Bauer 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.000 will get traded, and if he is not traded, I 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.640 think mad Bum is the top arm. But if Trevor 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.400 Bauer is available, I think Trevor Bauer is. I still 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.120 think he is one of some of the best stuff 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.280 in the league. I know the results haven't been there 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.040 this year, but I think the upside is so much higher. 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.040 But if he is not dealt because the Indians are 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.520 back in the race, I think it is mad Bum. Uh. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.800 No one was more was wrong around mad Mom than 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.120 I was this year, and I will own that. Uh. 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.840 The velocity came back on his pitches and fastball still 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.280 getting hit a lot, at least coming into has today 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.040 started was his cutter has been really effective this year. 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.160 Though I do think the move away from San Franz 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.640 will hurt him a bit. But remember, Matt Bomb has 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.560 this reputation and rightfully so, as like one of the 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:17.040 greatest postseason performers ever, and Trevor Bauer doesn't have that 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.000 going from we know Trevor Bauer, he did struggle at 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.400 times in the playoffs in recent years. So I do 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.600 think mad Bomb because I know for we know, I 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.840 think we know for a fact he is add percent available. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.800 I think he will be the biggest pitching fish available, 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.320 especially for a contending team, because you have to feel 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.680 pretty good about him going into the playoffs. Mike, what 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.520 do you think about this? Though? With everything that the 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.080 San Francisco Giants are doing right now, they're one of 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.160 the hottest teams in the league there two and a 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.880 half games out of the wild card. I mean, you 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.720 can kind of make the argument that they're right in 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.240 the thick of things like it is. Should that be 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.200 their mindset now? The fact that as hot as they are, 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.360 that they shouldn't be selling off their pieces. I know that, 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.880 you know, I've seen a lot of prospect analysts talk 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.080 about how the Giant have the Giants prospects have actually 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.120 performed really really well this year, and they're actually higher 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:09.920 on this Giants farm system than previously thought. So, look, 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.000 all you have to do is make it to the 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.240 postseason and then anything can happen. The fact that the 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:16.960 Giants are as hot as they are, they're only two 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.440 and a half games out, should they reconsider being sellers 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:24.640 at the deadline? I thought they might because the Giants 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.800 have a reputation of going for it, and the Giants 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.400 kind of put themselves in this terrible position by trying 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.360 to be aggressive and keep going and acquiring really bad 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.440 contracts like Longoria. I know they had mc cutcheon at 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.200 one point. You know, they brought in a lot of 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.800 veterans with these bigger contracts and it didn't really work 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.280 out for them. I don't think they should reconsider it. 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.040 I think you trade mad Woman and you hope that 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.840 you know the guys you have continue to perform. But realistically, 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.200 I think they know that even if they were to 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.320 sneak in as a second wild card, and and even 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.760 if they win that game behind mad Bum, then we're 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.640 talking about having to win a five game series against 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.000 the Dodgers, and I think they even realistically know that 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.000 they cannot compete with that, and they are I think 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.480 even though they're playing very well, I think they're one 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.560 of the least talented teams in the NL, and I 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.640 don't think they would be a serious threat if they 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.480 made it. But so that being said, even as of yesterday, 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.760 I read reports that they were looking to sell, and 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.760 it made sense to me what I think they did 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.680 do last night. I think they put the final nail 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.040 and the Mets coffins and made them sellers as well. 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.080 But I do think that John should continue to sell, 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.520 especially will Smith and mad One, because it should be 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.360 your prospects playing better than than expected and getting production 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.720 out of these younger guys. I think you trade your 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.760 big pieces bringing even more higher end talent, and you 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.040 hope to escalate this rebuild rather than hope to sneak 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.440 in as a second wild card this year. Yeah, I 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.120 agree with you. I actually said that yesterday too. Even 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.320 if you sneak into the wild card, you're get enough 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.520 facing what Max Scherzer in a one game playoff, and 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.200 then if you get past him, you're gonna end up 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.800 playing the Los Angeles Dodgers. So I think the Giants 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.480 have to be realistic with themselves here, and everything that 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.560 I've said also falls in line with that, they're going 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.560 to be sellers. I think that they can get you know, 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:08.160 a decent hole back if they if they trade away 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.280 all of their useful relievers outside of like Mark Lanson, 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.760 they probably won't be able to get rid of that 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.600 contract or however much is left on that contract. But 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.159 if they get rid of Mad Medicine, Bum Garner and 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.919 Will Smith and potentially Tony Watson and Sam Dison and 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.000 all these guys, they should be able to get a 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.560 pretty good haul and potentially turn this around sooner rather 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.719 than later. When it comes to the Giants, because if 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.399 you look at their Major League rosso right now, who 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.760 are they building around for the future. I mean, I 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.399 think it's been a lot of smoking mirrors. If you 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.240 look at, you know, the guys that have been performing 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:44.520 well for them, with Alex Dickerson and Austin Slater you know, 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:49.040 not related to heat Slater, um Uh and Uh and 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.239 Brandon Belt and Buster Posey and and Brandon Crawford has 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.680 been awesome over the past couple of weeks. I agree 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.800 with you, Mike, I think that um I think that 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.560 they should continue to be sellers and you know, maybe 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.960 a quiet are some MLB ready prospects, whether it's a 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.800 Clint Frasier with the Yankees or you know, maybe a 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.639 maybe a Kyle Tucker with the with the Houston ash 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.119 or something like that. I think that makes a lot 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:14.080 of sense for the San Francisco Giants. Mike mentioned the 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.120 New York Mets. They now fall to five games out 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.600 of the second wild card spot. I talked about this 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.200 a lot recently as well. When it comes to the 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.440 National League wild Card, the only team that is I guess, 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.040 mathematically out of it is the Miami Marlins, who are 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.600 thirteen games out. Everyone else is within five games of 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.399 that second wild card spot, including the New York Mets 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.880 and the Cincinnati Reds, Mike, wh only have a minute left. 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:40.520 What do you expect the Mets to do here? Do 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.639 you think that they're just kind of selling away everyone 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:48.359 not named the Graham, Peter Alonso, and Syndergarten. I think no. 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:50.600 I actually think the opposite. I think they're going to 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.360 sell Wheeler. I think they'll sell pieces that are not 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.440 going to be here, like they'll try to trade away 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.879 Todd Frasier, guys who aren't guaranteed to be here in 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.480 I do think though they look at it like, Hey, 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.080 we have a lot of money invested, we have a 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.080 terrible farm system. We have players like mc neil and 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.200 and who were playing above what the Mets had expected 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:11.920 them to do when they got a call last year 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:13.879 and stuff. So I think the Mets are going to 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.119 look to still try to compete next year. So I 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:17.879
