Speaker 1: of every single show, when it happens, regardless of what
Speaker 1: the other news is, is to tell you that Shohio
Speaker 1: Tani hit a home run. It's just it's legally content. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is contractual. We're contractually obligated to tell you that
Speaker 1: Shoho Tani hit a bomb, which is good news because
Speaker 1: the bad news that was floating around of yesterday is
Speaker 1: there's still some issues with that knee and they really
Speaker 1: don't know what's when he's going to start pitching again.
Speaker 1: So kind of went from like, oh, this is decent
Speaker 1: management to worse in that if they're not even thinking
Speaker 1: about it, I think there's a real real chance that
Speaker 1: we could get through August and nazee him pitch now
Speaker 1: they could just turn on a dime and they could go.
Speaker 1: But they still said there's some stuff with the knee.
Speaker 1: But I think it's a very good sign when you
Speaker 1: see him out there blasting, blasting home runs right in
Speaker 1: the lead off spot there and I had a stat
Speaker 1: and I thought I had saved it. I must not
Speaker 1: have here that It was like, geez got if I
Speaker 1: could find it. It was like a home run. He was like,
Speaker 1: the guy have three hits a leadoff home run, and
Speaker 1: then like still lose. There was some weird show Hey.
Speaker 1: We don't get any Show Hey of Tony stats anymore
Speaker 1: because they've all happened. But I'll see if I can
Speaker 1: find it. But any thoughts on that knee with sho
Speaker 1: Ha Tani after that Homer.
Speaker 2: I think PCA might win the MVP in the NL.
Speaker 2: Now he's plus one ten. He has moved to plus
Speaker 2: one ten. He has a higher war than show Hey,
Speaker 2: and he hasn't pitched because his defense has been great
Speaker 2: and his offense has been incredible. And we have seen
Speaker 2: obviously less from show Hey than we thought on the
Speaker 2: pitching side, so and maybe a little less on the
Speaker 2: hitting side as well due to this knee entry so
Speaker 2: the current odds it moved to show Hey minus one
Speaker 2: forty five and PCA plus one ten. I mean he
Speaker 2: is at least nipping on his heels. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: if Sho Hay has to be shut down for any
Speaker 2: period of time because of this stuff, I think PCAs
Speaker 2: going to overtake him in the odds to win the MVP.
Speaker 1: In the Oh, you know who else jumped into the
Speaker 1: MVP race in the top five was Jacki Mizerowski. He's
Speaker 1: making a little appearances gonna be tough if he's only
Speaker 1: gonna pitch eighty or whatever every single time. But at
Speaker 1: PCA's got a tough road. Misslerowski's kind of interesting. There's
Speaker 1: a bunch of you know, there's a bunch of fun
Speaker 1: names in there. By the way I found the stat
Speaker 1: it was from opt to stats. It was sho Heyo
Speaker 1: Tony is the only MLB player to have three hits,
Speaker 1: three RBI, a leadoff home run, an intentional walk, and
Speaker 1: have his team lose the game. That is since intentional
Speaker 1: walks became an official stat in nineteen fifty five. So
Speaker 1: that is definitely one of those like h stats Like okay,
Speaker 1: but I just thought it was weird. That a time
Speaker 1: like that was such an odd, goofy looking one with
Speaker 1: like an intentional walk the leadoff homer, which was a
Speaker 1: freaking blast too, by the way, if you were watching it.
Speaker 2: It was. I saw a little bit of that game,
Speaker 2: and it was so funny because Max Munsey comes up
Speaker 2: to the play. Did you see this? And uh, he's
Speaker 2: over fifteen with ten strikeouts or something ridiculous against Louis
Speaker 2: Castillo in his career. And it's a Dodgers announcers that
Speaker 2: I'm seeing because I'm watching on big inning and they
Speaker 2: are trying so hard over fifteen ten K's hasn't even
Speaker 2: come close to hitting a see guys, and then a
Speaker 2: bomb first pitch bomb, rocket bomb, and I was like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: one for sixteen now with a homer, So look at that.
Speaker 1: Uh, speaking of bombs. We're gonna play a game here,
Speaker 1: all right. I'm gonna We're gonna play a sound and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you some options of what this is.
Speaker 1: This would be a fun baseball game. So I want
Speaker 1: you to listen to this sound real quick. Is this sound?
Speaker 1: Let's hear it? Is that the sound of that cannon blast?
Speaker 1: Let's hear it one more time? Is that the sound
Speaker 1: of the Big Bang starting the universe? The answer is no,
Speaker 1: that sound, which, by the way, I feel like maybe
Speaker 1: I turn this down. I'm not giving enough credit. Can
Speaker 1: we see who it is? Because that sound was Jordan Alvarez?
Speaker 1: Play it one more time, but can you pump it up?
Speaker 1: Pump pump it up. Play. I don't think it we're
Speaker 1: giving it enough credit. When you just hear that sound.
Speaker 1: That was the most ridiculous sound I've ever heard on
Speaker 1: a home run. And as I'm hearing it here, like
Speaker 1: over and over, it's just not quite playing across. But
Speaker 1: that stadium wasn't completely empty. I've sat in empty stadiums
Speaker 1: where you know the sounds just below, you know, hits
Speaker 1: of like ninety eight miles miles power off the bat
Speaker 1: sound like these big rockets. That sounded like a freaking rocket.
Speaker 1: Jordon Alvarez is obviously he's in demon mode and that
Speaker 1: whole I don't know if you watched it live or
Speaker 1: you saw the replay after, but I highly suggest you.
Speaker 1: We can't play it, but you go and play that
Speaker 1: video a couple hundred times and just close your eyes
Speaker 1: and pretend you're watching the universe be created or just
Speaker 1: Jordan hitting a homer.
Speaker 2: Dude. Yes, that that hit might have sparked a new universe.
Speaker 2: That's where we get to multiverse from right there. I like,
Speaker 2: Todd was like, that's the sound of Curtis Mead's wrist breaking.
Speaker 2: Oh we're gonna yeah, Craig Breslow. My god. Jordan, Now,
Speaker 2: by the way, minus three seventy five to win the
Speaker 2: al MVP. It is a runaway at this point.
Speaker 1: It's been incredible. I mean, I think about those old
Speaker 1: debates that I was on the other side of it,
Speaker 1: Jordan versus like Vladdie Junior. It's not even close. It's
Speaker 1: not even close. Jordan is an MVP caliber. He's I
Speaker 1: think last I had looked it was what did you
Speaker 1: say it was minus three something, because that's.
Speaker 2: What it was, A three seventy five on a hard rod.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was minus three fifty like a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago or whatever. But yeah, I just I just
Speaker 1: wanted to play that sound. I wish it translated better
Speaker 1: in my brain. It did, but like you get the hint,
Speaker 1: it was an apply ridiculous one. And that's what Jordne does.
Speaker 1: Speaking of you got you already jumped to it. Curtis Mead, Well, boy,
Speaker 1: Curtis Mead, as you guys have all seen. Unfortunately, that
Speaker 1: might yeah, great, cauld we hear that sound one more time?
Speaker 1: Is that possible, Seth? Seth was drinking here something, but
Speaker 1: that actually might have been curt Oh, I was his
Speaker 1: wrist fracturing, because he's placed on the io and diagnosed
Speaker 1: with a fractured left wrist. Two whit bats after being
Speaker 1: traded for. They trade Conley Early, which they really had
Speaker 1: to sell everybody on why it worked. They get Curtis
Speaker 1: meat in the lineup and the wrist is fractured, little cursed.
Speaker 1: It's pretty bad. I mean, I mean he's also had
Speaker 1: I think a similar issue. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was on the same rist, not too long ago or
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, but absolutely brutal blow in
Speaker 1: the trade market where they go and I think move
Speaker 1: off of like a really really good piece in Conley early.
Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks were kicking the tires and trying to figure out,
Speaker 1: you know, can we get a you know, can can
Speaker 1: we move something off to be able to get Conlee Early?
Speaker 1: They kind of rebuffed it, like Conlee Early could have
Speaker 1: been a part of a big trade. It wasn't It
Speaker 1: was a part of this trade where he's now out
Speaker 1: and now the Red Sox you're still kicking around. We
Speaker 1: are gonna do some trade rooms here in just a
Speaker 1: tiny bit. But brutal, brutal blow for Curtis me to
Speaker 1: miss this time. And I'm not sure if I saw that.
Speaker 1: I don't if anybody knows the timeline yet, but fractured
Speaker 1: risks are going to take a little bit. This is
Speaker 1: probably gonna be the fantasy season.
Speaker 2: I would imagine, Yeah, this this stinks, man. And for
Speaker 2: Craig Breslow to have, you know, so many bad trades
Speaker 2: under his belt already and then to have have to
Speaker 2: go through this one also just really stinks. This one
Speaker 2: is just absolute bad luck. But it already looks terrible,
Speaker 2: so terrible luck. I don't know. They need to wish
Speaker 2: upon a star, do a sage or something. I don't
Speaker 2: know what's going on in Boston. They need to fix it.
Speaker 1: I like that the noise was Brezlo's brain breaking because
Speaker 1: everything didn't go as play. Nothing has going play more
Speaker 1: innings mead for Boston or Early for Washington. It's actually
Speaker 1: a really good one because I think Connearly is going
Speaker 1: to start up his rehab assignment like a week or so,
Speaker 1: probably takes two or three weeks. He's probably back in
Speaker 1: three weeks. I would have to imagine most fractures at
Speaker 1: minimum are probably going to take four to six weeks
Speaker 1: at minimum. And it's a risk too. That's a Zappa power.
Speaker 1: I mean it's early, it's going to have more value
Speaker 1: at this point. Yet it's really it's really brutal, and
Speaker 1: it's like, what are the Red Sox going to do now?
Speaker 1: How are they going to be able to bounce back?
Speaker 1: That kind of comes to the trade conversation. We're going
Speaker 1: to have moved over to the Tigers. There's multiple things
Speaker 1: to talk about. First off, the fourteen to nothing output, ridiculous,
Speaker 1: ridiculous production we saw from this team. Troy Melton absolute gems,
Speaker 1: seven innings, three hits, noah and runs, five strikeouts, boom.
Speaker 1: Kevin McGonagall. He had slowed a little bit over the
Speaker 1: last two weeks, bogs, but it goes four for five.
Speaker 1: Labor Torres has five RBIs in that game. At Wardo
Speaker 1: Valencia had two homers and four RBIs off a position
Speaker 1: player they dominated. We'll do a stop point there real quick.
Speaker 1: Absolutely critical outing for Troy Melton because the Tigers, if
Speaker 1: they had lost that game, they would have been walking
Speaker 1: into today's game, which we'll talk about in the second
Speaker 1: probably is no doubt, sellers, I think there's still an opportunity.
Speaker 1: That's what we're going to yap about. But Melton, with
Speaker 1: a huge gym, has really been kind of solid. McGonagall
Speaker 1: pick it back up. Any thoughts on any of the
Speaker 1: Tigers that showed out yesterday.
Speaker 2: I mean, Troy Melton has been good for most of
Speaker 2: the year, right like a bunch of starts. Eleven starts.
Speaker 2: He's given up more than two earned runs exactly one time.
Speaker 2: He hasn't gone super deep into games, but he also
Speaker 2: hasn't been pulled before the fifth and in any of them,
Speaker 2: the strikeouts have really picked up over the last month.
Speaker 2: Here he had a nine to nine and two fives.
Speaker 2: Troy Maltin has been a really nice addition in deeper
Speaker 2: fantasy leagues, and he's a nice streaming option right now
Speaker 2: if you have been hurting at that position. Two so
Speaker 2: and McGonagall I always put him in three up, three down,
Speaker 2: but I saw he was up here. He had a
Speaker 2: great night finally, so it seemed like maybe some of
Speaker 2: these rookies are slowing down a little bit. But McGonagall
Speaker 2: with a nice one last night.
Speaker 1: For sure, and still top ten of WARF, still pretty
Speaker 1: pretty good on the offensive side. Here's the question, though,
Speaker 1: will today be the final Trek Schoogle start? That's the
Speaker 1: big one he's going today. I believe he would line
Speaker 1: up to Monday, so you know, I mean if he
Speaker 1: if he pitches Monday, he's not being traded. So that's
Speaker 1: that's all that this comes from. It's either he is trade,
Speaker 1: he's going to be traded and today will be his
Speaker 1: last start, or the Tigers don't do it. It would
Speaker 1: I think this would have been made a little bit
Speaker 1: easier had the Tigers lost that start yesterday, because then
Speaker 1: they would go in to this game with a no
Speaker 1: doubt losing series. Tigers are probably going to do pretty
Speaker 1: well today, and you got and they're playing a team
Speaker 1: that was right above them in the Orioles, and then
Speaker 1: you've got the team even above them, like the Astros
Speaker 1: were playing the Angels and picking up wins, so it's
Speaker 1: like they were just moving really further down Now. Even
Speaker 1: if they win this game, I think there's still a
Speaker 1: really big question. Yes, they're like three or four games
Speaker 1: out of the wild card spot, but there's like four
Speaker 1: or five teams that are above. So that's what that's like.
Speaker 1: What's really complicated with it? Trek Scouble has I looked
Speaker 1: this up yesterday. I did the CBS thing and Trek
Speaker 1: Scouble against the batters in Baltimore, they have a career
Speaker 1: one seventy two or one seventy three batting average against.
Speaker 1: And my favorite stat of all the players combined, there's
Speaker 1: one combined career RBI against Trek Scooble. So he is
Speaker 1: likely to dominate dominate today. So my question to you
Speaker 1: is will this be the final Tiger start for Trek Schooble.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think anyone is going
Speaker 2: to offer enough to go get him. I think that's
Speaker 2: how that's going to be the Tiger stance after the deadline.
Speaker 2: My opinion. So, I think they're gonna if they have
Speaker 2: a good weekend. I think it's going to cost a
Speaker 2: ridiculous amount. I don't think anyone's paying for it. I
Speaker 2: think we're in a weird game of chicken. I feel
Speaker 2: like the rumors would be more substantial. We would have
Speaker 2: heard some like packages or something being offered for him.
Speaker 2: We're really not hearing much. I feel like the league
Speaker 2: is saying he's too expensive, and the Tigers are saying
Speaker 2: he's too expensive. So I think he sticks it out
Speaker 2: through this year. Maybe they try to sign him to
Speaker 2: an extension if they don't trade him immediately. But I
Speaker 2: want it to be I would love to see him
Speaker 2: on a contender and go deep into October right specifically
Speaker 2: with next year being questionable. But I feel like they've
Speaker 2: made this trade too complicated and weird already.
Speaker 1: I would love to hear from everybody in the chat
Speaker 1: trade or no trade. Terrek Scooble, I think they will
Speaker 1: trade him. I think the Tiger now, if the Tigers
Speaker 1: have a run through the rest of the way through
Speaker 1: you know, over this weekend and everything like that, it
Speaker 1: makes it complicated. I think there's all the reason for
Speaker 1: them not to trade if they're in you know, any
Speaker 1: type of competition or whatever. He says he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to get traded. What I worry is, you're going and
Speaker 1: if you get traded, by the way, I think it's
Speaker 1: happening Sunday or Monday. But my reason behind it is
Speaker 1: is I think that they have to look at themselves
Speaker 1: realistically and the team that they have and them not
Speaker 1: making any acquisitions, them having four or five teams in
Speaker 1: front of them just for a wild card spot, and
Speaker 1: also you've got the labor stuff. I think someone in
Speaker 1: the chat was maybe even making the case of like
Speaker 1: why he wouldn't get traded because of the penning lockout
Speaker 1: next year. I would say that's maybe even more reason
Speaker 1: because the guy's going to be a free agent. You
Speaker 1: have no pending contractual stuff with that there might not
Speaker 1: be baseball next year. You want to win a championship
Speaker 1: this year. It's all about right now. I think everything
Speaker 1: is about right now and the control you have in
Speaker 1: future years and you know into next year, and Scooble
Speaker 1: doesn't really have that effect on what next year is.
Speaker 1: And I think they're going to come to terms with that.
Speaker 1: They're just not going to be heavy competitors. And I
Speaker 1: think because the last piece here, there are so many
Speaker 1: teams that are in it right now as we're recording
Speaker 1: this and everything is wonky and we're getting no trades
Speaker 1: that it is going to be fire sale on Sunday
Speaker 1: or Monday when everybody because they got to make their decision,
Speaker 1: and every phones are going to be calling. People are
Speaker 1: going to get aggressive, and then you're going to see
Speaker 1: aggressive offers out there. If Schooble's available, the Dodgers can
Speaker 1: make that happen. I think Milwaukee can make that happen.
Speaker 1: I think the Braves can make it happen. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to say it's going to be real. He's going
Speaker 1: to go out today. He's going to freaking dominate. As
Speaker 1: I told you one career RBI is probably going to
Speaker 1: strike out ten. He's going to go seven. He's going
Speaker 1: to tip his cap. Everyone's going to be cheering him,
Speaker 1: and the whole narrative is going to be Nope, Nope,
Speaker 1: we're not trading Derek Scouble and then Sunday or Monday,
Speaker 1: he's going to be a Brewer's That's what I think
Speaker 1: it is. But you guys, you guys drop it in.
Speaker 1: I think Seth even put up a poll. I think
Speaker 1: most people are kind of thinking he's not going to
Speaker 1: get traded. I think that is you know, the relatively
Speaker 1: likely should minus more narrative things. I think it gets there.
Speaker 2: I think I think they absolutely should because I don't
Speaker 2: know if you're resigning him and uh, you know, next
Speaker 2: year's a question all this stuff. Get a haul for
Speaker 2: him now, I think that would be the smart move.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if they're going to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's always about what does that return like?
Speaker 1: And if teams I just really think there are a
Speaker 1: couple of teams that like, if you want to make
Speaker 1: the run and you want to be like an aggressive suitor,
Speaker 1: you know, for a championship, you go and you say,
Speaker 1: sell whatever you've got to sell to try to get him.
Speaker 2: There was a second suitor.
Speaker 1: The second suit, Yeah, second suitor. Also a clerk's reference
Speaker 1: or no, Malrat's reference, chocolate covered press, Yeah, Marat's reference.
Speaker 1: Some other news and notes out there. San die Al
Speaker 1: Contra with an absolute gym seven innings, four innings, five strikeouts,
Speaker 1: zero earned runs. Maybe also another one of those guys
Speaker 1: that might not get traded now because the Marlins, despite
Speaker 1: losing a billion games a franchise record in a row,
Speaker 1: they're like still right there, They're like right in the uh,
Speaker 1: right in the thick of it. So I kind of
Speaker 1: still think he's a guy that does get traded to
Speaker 1: for all the things we're talking about. But the I
Speaker 1: don't know the Marlins did kind of say they don't
Speaker 1: want to make those moves. My trade rumor that I
Speaker 1: put out there is I think a team like the Padres.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about trade rumors here in just a
Speaker 1: tiny bit, but I think the Padres are a team
Speaker 1: that could you know, they've done deals with the Marlins
Speaker 1: before that they could make something work, something in like
Speaker 1: a cash Mayfield range. Sandy's got I think one more
Speaker 1: after this. It's like an arbitrational year after this, so
Speaker 1: he would need to be you need to be like
Speaker 1: a real giveaway, and I think the Padres could do
Speaker 1: something like that. But seven innings, four hits, five k's
Speaker 1: kind of vintage Sandy Bogs. He's gone I think seven
Speaker 1: or he's gone like at least six innings and they
Speaker 1: get like four of his last five. He's kind of
Speaker 1: getting back to the Sandy that we know a little bit.
Speaker 2: Is there anybody out I feel like the teams in
Speaker 2: the Al West might offer for him to the Rangers
Speaker 2: and the Astros, Mariners don't need pitching, they need hitting.
Speaker 2: Maybe the White Sox could use him, the Guardians.
Speaker 1: Oh, everybody. I think everybody could use him. It's just
Speaker 1: about like who's gonna send an aggressive offer. I think
Speaker 1: that's been the problem with Sandy for like two years.
Speaker 1: There just hasn't been and I think the Marlins are
Speaker 1: really waffly about it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's also been injury stuff with Sandy too,
Speaker 2: and it's you know, he's been a little up and
Speaker 2: down as well since the injury. So I do think
Speaker 2: Sandy gets moved. I think there are plenty of teams
Speaker 2: that will offer maybe like a miniature bidding war specifically,
Speaker 2: if like if there's just no movement on Schooble, Sandy's
Speaker 2: definitely getting moved. I think you're gonna see offers get
Speaker 2: upped and upped.
Speaker 1: So well, that's a tough thing.
Speaker 2: Sandy goes.
Speaker 1: That's a tough thing. Like least talking about debt meers
Speaker 1: in here, Like there's this path where it's like you
Speaker 1: could have Scooball and Joe Ryan and Sandy a Contra
Speaker 1: all be moved. Those are huge, huge pieces, but teams
Speaker 1: don't really see they The narrative on all three of
Speaker 1: those teams is like, now we're not gonna trade these guys.
Speaker 1: If they all do go, then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: price of the brick just went up for debt meurs
Speaker 1: and he's going to have a big haul or all
Speaker 1: three of those teams, you know, they're placating with us,
Speaker 1: and they're just like, no, we're not going to treat
Speaker 1: I'm not going to trade, and then like one is
Speaker 1: going to bite and it's going to be this huge offer,
Speaker 1: and then that's what kind of changes the market. Will
Speaker 1: it be all of them? Will it be none of them?
Speaker 1: But they're all in it. That's the stupid annoying thing. Dude.
Speaker 1: Last night with the Twins, I was ready to say
Speaker 1: the Twins are going to be a team, even though
Speaker 1: they've told us they're not going to sell off, that
Speaker 1: they are going to sell off because they're losing to
Speaker 1: the Royals down to their final out. They walk it off.
Speaker 1: They get a walk off when puts them a step
Speaker 1: closer into the wild card. How can they trade off
Speaker 1: when they're doing that. It's just like it's a very
Speaker 1: very weird space that we're in in the trade market.
Speaker 1: There's like four teams that are legitimate sellers and it
Speaker 1: is July twenty ninth. We are less than a week
Speaker 1: away from the trade deadline, and you couldn't really sit
Speaker 1: and pinpoint seven teams in Major League Baseball that are
Speaker 1: for sure going to sell off.
Speaker 2: It's like Wildcard Welsh. We hate it now, we hate it.
Speaker 1: The Mets, the Rockies, and who, yeah, who, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's really full sellers. Chase Burns yesterday
Speaker 1: gave up five runs, but only one was earned. He
Speaker 1: did this over five innings. It was because of an error,
Speaker 1: an edwin or royal error. So he then allowed one
Speaker 1: more run on a Jose Ramirez single, who, by the way,
Speaker 1: was pretty good couple steals in there. But Chase Burns
Speaker 1: is he had been really dominant. That was kind of
Speaker 1: a bad outing, but not his fault, and it led
Speaker 1: to some black runs. Garrett Cole blank the White Sox
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, six innings, picked up the Winds, struck out
Speaker 1: seven and six scoreless. He's really just kind of found
Speaker 1: his rhythm again, a reason why they probably don't need
Speaker 1: to be looking at pitching. And oh my, oh mind,
Speaker 1: I kind of mis Rico was here because Rico was
Speaker 1: selling as a couple of weeks ago, I was buying
Speaker 1: Brandon Fought did it again. Oh my, seven innings, six hits,
Speaker 1: zero earned runs, only four strikeouts, but five starts in July.
Speaker 1: A bogs July. He's got Julay five Gela starts here.
Speaker 1: He has a one point eight eight ERA, a one
Speaker 1: point one two. He almost has a higher whip than
Speaker 1: an ERA. He's allowed only three walks in the month
Speaker 1: of July. But the big negative to him he has
Speaker 1: only twelve strikeouts in twenty eight innings. The big sweat.
Speaker 1: Brandon Fought has been really untouchable, but he really doesn't
Speaker 1: provide a whole lot else outside of going deep in
Speaker 1: potential wins because the I mean, I guess he does
Speaker 1: help your whip a bit because he's not walking guys,
Speaker 1: But but he provides zero strikeouts. I mean, it is
Speaker 1: almost a nothing burger.
Speaker 2: We take wins, though, we'll take those dubs. So yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I mean he didn't get one last night, thank you.
Speaker 2: Paul Sewald.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, Paul Seawald's the worst or maybe the worst
Speaker 1: on the plant. We just did this whole bit on
Speaker 1: itl where I'm like, well, he's only those are two
Speaker 1: blown saves and then you know, blows that one. To
Speaker 1: your point, I mean, I'll take this version of Fought,
Speaker 1: of course, because if he gets eight strikeouts because of
Speaker 1: five urned runs. We can't justify Star heready came out there.
Speaker 1: But Brandon Fought has just been really good and it
Speaker 1: has not stopped, even though the you know, everybody's just
Speaker 1: kind of jumping off of it. I feel like the
Speaker 1: only reason, like when Urrico did that, it's just about
Speaker 1: the strikeouts. Everyone stares at the strikeouts and just goes.
Speaker 2: He's pitching the contact. Yeah, and that's why it's not
Speaker 2: walking anybody. And that's why he's not getting strikeouts, because
Speaker 2: he is pitching more to contact. He's he was kind
Speaker 2: of you know, first couple of seasons specifically in the miners,
Speaker 2: where he was just dusting everybody because he could. You know,
Speaker 2: he didn't really learn much. I feel like, and he
Speaker 2: just learned that he had overpowering stuff. He gets to
Speaker 2: the bigs and that stuff is no longer there. The
Speaker 2: hitters are pros and stuffs not fooling anybody. Yeah, stuff
Speaker 2: ain't stuff. And so he has now learned to pitch
Speaker 2: to contact. I think this is going to be because
Speaker 2: he's had so much success with it. I think this
Speaker 2: is just going to be what he is moving forward. Maybe,
Speaker 2: you know, once he figures this out, he gets a
Speaker 2: little better rhythm and he starts getting closer to six
Speaker 2: or seven strikeouts person are one per inning. I just
Speaker 2: we're not seeing that right now. It's going to be
Speaker 2: four and five. I think to the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Who would you rather have Brandon Fought or Troy Melton
Speaker 1: rest of the year.
Speaker 2: They're both kind of the same, but Troy Troy Melton
Speaker 2: has a better track record for this season, so it'd
Speaker 2: be Melton for me.
Speaker 1: I want to say better strike up? Am I making
Speaker 1: that up? Isn't there?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: He's been better recent.
Speaker 2: Meltain specifically, Melton has been better recently. And Melton's got
Speaker 2: He had two lives in a row, but that was
Speaker 2: backed by two nines and.
Speaker 1: Also three twenty three percentage. Yeah, I mean Melton by
Speaker 1: a mile is in this stuff? I think it would
Speaker 1: be Melton. But or Lee's very negative in the show today, Lee,
Speaker 1: what's your problem? It's okay? How about this? A Lee's
Speaker 1: cranky because Lee wants to need Lee needs a question answer.
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can improve your well being in
Speaker 1: the league. Do you want any part of Blake snell
Speaker 1: Worth the sash? That was the first question out of
Speaker 1: the chat today. I feel like Lee's cranky because we're
Speaker 1: not giving him attention or any special show. Do you
Speaker 1: want any part of Blake Snell when he is hydrating
Speaker 1: back with the doctors.
Speaker 2: I wonder if he's hydrated, man, I mean, if he's hydrated,
Speaker 2: he's one of the best pitchers.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're actually in a good minute. Okay, good?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I also I'm gonna want Blake Snell. Blake's maybe not
Speaker 1: off the very very first start, but after that, Snell's
Speaker 1: gonna just jump.
Speaker 2: The place to not want Snell is during the draft.
Speaker 2: That's it, or the.
Speaker 1: First half of the first half of the season. If
Speaker 1: he's actually playing, then he's gonna fall apart. But he
Speaker 1: loves the second half, the final in the news and notes,
Speaker 1: who can make the ball rise? Mix it up with
Speaker 1: bombs the kanzie Man can.
Speaker 2: He hits it with love and it goes into the stands.
Speaker 2: It makes the people feel good like Timothy.
Speaker 1: The Canzie Man. The kanzie Man can Jomini can Zone
Speaker 1: continues to break our hearts as Diamondback fans because we
Speaker 1: traded Paul cy Wild for him two bombs last night,
Speaker 1: and I was kind of shocked by this. I don't know, No,
Speaker 1: you know what this house to still hold? Did you
Speaker 1: know the dominic Canzone leads the Mariners in homers this season?
Speaker 1: Remember the dominic Canzone who I talked about a bunch
Speaker 1: of the beginning of the season. Regardless of him being
Speaker 1: a platoon player, he was part of the platoon platoon.
Speaker 1: Be damned man. Dominic Canzone continues to roll. He just
Speaker 1: looks so good. He has set himself up for a
Speaker 1: full time role next year. Eighteen homers, two sixty three
Speaker 1: batting average ridiculous. Had I thought to put this up,
Speaker 1: but the Baseball Savant page looks just nuts.
Speaker 2: We saw it last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did just again. If you guys could see it,
Speaker 1: it just really does look nuts. His XBA is better
Speaker 1: than he's currently putting out fourteen percent barrel, forty seven
Speaker 1: percent hard hit rate. He's almost cut his strikeouts to
Speaker 1: under twenty percent. Dominic Canzone, he's that dude. And guess
Speaker 1: what he ain't just a platoon player. Yes, he hits.
Speaker 1: He destroys rities to sixty batting average. I mean, ninety
Speaker 1: percent of his bats have come there. But he's got
Speaker 1: a higher batting average versus lefties actually two eighty six
Speaker 1: and in thirty five at bats. He has four homers, so.
Speaker 2: He's hit four and three. He's hit mainly third for
Speaker 2: a month now. It's been since June twenty six. He's
Speaker 2: been smack in the middle of that Mariner's order for
Speaker 2: the last month.
Speaker 1: So this is why Lee was cranky. He dropped Canzone
Speaker 1: for Akunya when oh, damn Damn Daniel, Damn Daniel. But
Speaker 1: Canzone continues to roll. This is my new favorite thing.
Speaker 1: If we had the rights to it, I would definitely
Speaker 1: see if we could get one of those purple jackets
Speaker 1: with the Kanzie Man. But thank you for the gift
Speaker 1: that keeps on giving. The Kanzie Man keeps rolling, and
Speaker 1: you should own him. My friends, Hey, manager fantasy baseball

Speaker 1: fantasypros dot com, slash MLB My playbook, or download the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros app. Today, let's look at the trade rumors,
Speaker 1: the trade roundup. I just wanted to do a quick
Speaker 1: little thing on this because there are tweets abound and
Speaker 1: they all are kind of dominated by Jeff Passen. Here's
Speaker 1: a couple of Passing reports. He's reporting that MLB executives
Speaker 1: believe that the Tigers want to trade Trek Scougle. Passing
Speaker 1: report said he expects Emerson Hancock to be traded at
Speaker 1: the deadline. Atto Lopez is being talked by the Boston
Speaker 1: Red Sox. They are checking in on the availability of
Speaker 1: Auto Lopez. Passin also reports that it is quote preordained.
Speaker 1: I like this one that Ryan Jeffers will not only
Speaker 1: be traded, but traded to the Yankees. And then the
Speaker 1: one that came out yesterday. We don't have anything for
Speaker 1: it because we can never play clips, not that we
Speaker 1: can't physically do it, just MLB. And the weirdness is
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper after the game last night, after they got
Speaker 1: blanked by the Marlins, said we need reinforcements. We need reinforcements.
Speaker 1: They asked, you need hitting or pitching, he said both.
Speaker 1: So the Phillies want guys passing, says Jeffers Hancock are
Speaker 1: for sure to go. Boston is trying to get a
Speaker 1: shortstop that they can build around in Auto Lopez. And
Speaker 1: then you know the constant in and outs of Trek
Speaker 1: scoople being traded. Anything that stands out to you of
Speaker 1: importance in these trade rumors. I have written that Emerson
Speaker 1: Hancock is kind of a sell for me. It was
Speaker 1: actually before this was confirmed that he was going to
Speaker 1: be a guy that would be traded at least by passing.
Speaker 1: So that is like, I think that's happening. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Bottle Lopez goes and the Phillies. One I
Speaker 1: think is super interesting, And this is one that I'll
Speaker 1: throw out to you that I think the Phillies could
Speaker 1: call the Twins if the Twins aren't selling or they
Speaker 1: are selling, and maybe try to convince Byron Buxton to
Speaker 1: waive that no trade clause down over Philly because he
Speaker 1: clearly thinks there's an issue with the outfield. He brought
Speaker 1: his first Honestly, you see this, he said, I brought
Speaker 1: my outfield glove just in case they need him. He
Speaker 1: is talking about their outfield is so underperforming. He's like,
Speaker 1: go get us a first baseman. I just don't know
Speaker 1: what's available for them in the first base market. I
Speaker 1: think outfield might be better, So a lot of trade
Speaker 1: roundups here. Does anything stand out to you as we are,
Speaker 1: you know, five days or four days out or whatever
Speaker 1: from this thing?
Speaker 2: First of all, do we need to call pass in?
Speaker 2: The master whispers at this point? Like all these rumors here,
Speaker 2: the Philly one Philly in July nine games with one
Speaker 2: or zero, runs twenty first, next one but twenty third
Speaker 2: and average twenty third and slug twenty fourth and runs
Speaker 2: twenty ninth in K percentage. They definitely need some help
Speaker 2: with the bats. So Bryce Harper is one hundred percent
Speaker 2: correct there, Move people to the outfield, trade for an outfielder,
Speaker 2: whatever you need to do.
Speaker 1: I thought Joe Adell would be another interesting one. Joe's
Speaker 1: like best friends with Brandon marsh and then you know,
Speaker 1: like I think he'd be an advocate for it. I
Speaker 1: don't know if the Angels really want to sell him,
Speaker 1: but that would be another one that, like if the
Speaker 1: Phillies wanted to maybe unload the system a little bit,
Speaker 1: maybe Andrew Painter. Just be done with the Andrew Painter stuff.
Speaker 1: You know what, I got this to go to the
Speaker 1: Angels offer. No, you're not getting Mike Truck he won't.
Speaker 1: They won't trade him, But go get read Debtmers and
Speaker 1: Joe Adell in a big blockbuster trade Andrew Painter and
Speaker 1: a couple other pieces that are getting close.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not bad. Yeah, I think Philly is definitely making
Speaker 2: a move. So, uh, there's that the Trek Schoogle stuff. Okay,
Speaker 2: I mean we'll see somebody asks to offer something here,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I think I think Hancock is obviously the
Speaker 2: guy that moves, right. It's either like it's either Hancock
Speaker 2: for whatever bat you need, or it was gonna be
Speaker 2: Kate Anderson in a.
Speaker 1: Massive deal and it'll never get traded.
Speaker 2: They're not doing that, so yeah, so I think Emerson
Speaker 2: Hancock is the easiest one to move if Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think that has been done for like the last two
Speaker 2: or three months.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Kate being traded is as likely as Hula
Speaker 1: Rodriguez being traded, So it'll that'll never happen. That's why
Speaker 1: Hancock is going to go. Luis Castillo is also a
Speaker 1: player that's been talked about yeah, if I have to
Speaker 1: go likelihood, I think Hancock is at the top. I
Speaker 1: think it's funny. To me, It's like, why would the
Speaker 1: twins not be sellers and then trade off Ryan Jeffers.
Speaker 1: It's just it's really weird. But trade wins are swirling,
Speaker 1: the guys are probably watch I'll be here Friday. I
Speaker 1: forgot so I will talk more about it Friday leading
Speaker 1: into Monday, which will be trade deadline day, and we
Speaker 1: will get you all the info that's floating out there.
Speaker 1: All right, who's ready to play a little bit of
Speaker 1: game of Guess Who? Last week we had a great
Speaker 1: rendition of Guess Who where we both had one. I'm
Speaker 1: unaware do we both have one?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, so we both have this. This was very fun
Speaker 1: last week. So get ready strapped in everybody. We're gonna
Speaker 1: play who is this player? Guess Who? And I'll go
Speaker 1: first box. So Seth, do you want to bring up mine? Mine?
Speaker 2: For guess who?
Speaker 1: Is a picture? Very interesting picture here and expect I
Speaker 1: have to really get this. Maybe I need some glasses
Speaker 1: from some of our partners here. Expected DRA three point
Speaker 1: one three very good, expected ERA expected batting average against
Speaker 1: top fifteen percent of the league. But as we look
Speaker 1: here at the Baseball Savant High Fastball ninety eight five
Speaker 1: with elite looking K and WIF percentages eighty ninth percentile,
Speaker 1: WIF percentage of thirty one point two percent twenty eight
Speaker 1: point eight percent K percentage, which is top twelve percentile.
Speaker 1: Also does not walk a little. A lot of guys
Speaker 1: decent extension. It's really really tough, tough doing this when
Speaker 1: we do this for pitchers. But if you need a hint,
Speaker 1: I could probably provide one, but you want to take
Speaker 1: a guess or two real quick, and then the chat
Speaker 1: can do this as well. You guys are I think
Speaker 1: you guys might already be doing this, Yeah, CD, said Scooble.
Speaker 1: It's not Scooble this. This is the season Baseball Savant
Speaker 1: for this player.
Speaker 2: But I really strong fastball with a really low app
Speaker 2: for Jexavila. That's weird.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we got some guess we lot this starter
Speaker 1: this is a starting pitcher, and I have one stat
Speaker 1: I will reveal when you're ready.
Speaker 2: Uh okay, yeah, give me the I'm not getting it right.
Speaker 1: No one has guessed it in the chat. By the way,
Speaker 1: we've had Kirby Lozardo Cole Schlittler. I want to point
Speaker 1: something out to you guys. You guys are saying some
Speaker 1: hardcore names. He's not this big. Wilbert Urana is I
Speaker 1: think below this player. But that's an interesting one. Here's
Speaker 1: the stat over the last thirty days. This picture has
Speaker 1: an under one and a half RA and a point
Speaker 1: five to two whip. That really gives it away. If
Speaker 1: we're gonna have anybody that's gonna be out there cheating.
Speaker 2: Nobody walks.
Speaker 1: So a half of a whip and a one under
Speaker 1: one and a half ERA over the last thirty days.
Speaker 2: Is this miss No, I told you he's not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is way too big.
Speaker 2: Uh. Is this Foster Griffin?
Speaker 1: No? No, The fastball is what gives that away. Foster
Speaker 1: Griffin doesn't throw that high. There are some great guesses
Speaker 1: in here, Melton. As we talked about, Logan Henderson is fun,
Speaker 1: Ashcraft is fun, Cade Cavali and remember that the key
Speaker 1: to this see like Lambert's a great guest, But the
Speaker 1: key here is look at the dominance with the fastball,
Speaker 1: the dominance with the ERA and the strikeouts. The fastball
Speaker 1: is really important to put with this.
Speaker 2: Last get Yeah, Well, give me, h can you give
Speaker 2: me a division?
Speaker 1: Now, I'm gonna give you this. He's under fifty percent
Speaker 1: owned across Yahoo in ESPN.
Speaker 2: You give me no hints, zero hints. This guy, I
Speaker 2: don't know who is it? Is it Drohan?
Speaker 1: It is Jared Jones. Jared Jones with the Pittsburgh Pirates, ridiculous,
Speaker 1: a ridiculous savant page, one point two nine era over
Speaker 1: the last thirty days, a point five to two whip,
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. Twenty eight strikeouts in twenty one innings.
Speaker 1: He continues to be.
Speaker 2: More strikeouts in three innings today against the DPAX.
Speaker 1: So I forgot. They're going like right now and look
Speaker 1: at this Jared Jones, Jared Jones, Jared Jones. Everybody figured out.
Speaker 1: I just want to point out you guys were all
Speaker 1: guessing Jared. You all were guessing. Miserowski, Schlittler, Garrett Cole.
Speaker 2: And I present you also smaller sample size obviously.
Speaker 1: Well that's that well I gave. I told you it's
Speaker 1: thirty days. But the savant page is in a smaller stad. Well,
Speaker 1: it's a smaller sample size based on what he has
Speaker 1: done this year, but that is his season total qualifies
Speaker 1: on there he does. Yeah, well he I mean he
Speaker 1: pitched in April. Yeah, you pitched. I'm actually looking at
Speaker 1: canzone right now, so let me look at Jared Jones
Speaker 1: pitched in April. I know he missed some time, or
Speaker 1: maybe I'm making that up now. I pitched him May,
Speaker 1: so it was May, June, and July across the board.
Speaker 2: How many how many innings does he have?
Speaker 1: Since you're looking, he has forty six innings? Yeah, forty
Speaker 1: six innings? Yeah, three seven two er.
Speaker 2: It makes way more sense now than I know who
Speaker 2: it is. But yes, that that Jared Jones has been outstanding.
Speaker 2: It looks good today, too interesting.
Speaker 1: Take b D says he's giving Joe Rico vibe. He
Speaker 1: is giving Rio vibes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bite.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be nice to be compared to a guy
Speaker 1: like Jared Jones and not John Lackey comebacks?
Speaker 2: All I get is a Lejandro Kirk So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, shout out to Van Rod eighty
Speaker 1: stream eighty streams streak. If I can say that, probably
Speaker 1: rocking out and shout out Ja Chow resub with Prime,
Speaker 1: you guys can get rid of the ads. Resubbing with Prime.
Speaker 1: Shout out to you guys for doing that. All right, Bogs,
Speaker 1: you're up here. I went with a picture. Who is
Speaker 1: your guests? Who? Or how do you want to present this?
Speaker 2: Well? Uh, this is a hitter, so uh this guy, though,
Speaker 2: has been a little rocky recently, is what I would say,
Speaker 2: maybe on a downward trend. That's the only hint you
Speaker 2: get from me.
Speaker 1: Okay. The defense I think to me is maybe giving Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's giving away.
Speaker 2: If it's giving it away, then take a guess.
Speaker 1: I think I might have a guess right out to shoot.
Speaker 2: Well. I mean, if you get it, you get it.
Speaker 1: Who is Is this a really high end player?
Speaker 2: Depends?
Speaker 1: Is this Bobby whit junor it is not? Okay? All right,
Speaker 1: back to the chopping board, the square.
Speaker 2: One Jack AGLIONI either okay, guesses Anthonachi No. I considered anthonatch.
Speaker 1: So for the podcast listeners, we got to give stats here.
Speaker 1: It's a two sixty six expected batting average, which is
Speaker 1: like top you know, seventy top twenty five percentile in
Speaker 1: the league. Hard hit rate forty four percent bad speed
Speaker 1: is okay, it's lower strikeout rates. I gotta be honest
Speaker 1: with you, this doesn't really give anything away. I don't
Speaker 1: know how anyone's going to see and know what this
Speaker 1: is outside of the defense is like tippy top. The
Speaker 1: defense is what I keep staring at here that it's
Speaker 1: one hundred percentile, so top of the league. Arm value,
Speaker 1: arm strength is near the top, and his range. So
Speaker 1: this is a really really good defender who's got some speed.
Speaker 2: I'll give I'll give you one more hint. This guy's
Speaker 2: last two months have been pretty rough and he's hitting
Speaker 2: one ninety five since the break only. So a guy
Speaker 2: that's on a little bit of a downward spiral.
Speaker 1: Here's so real quick. This was the guy I was
Speaker 1: gonna guess. Is that Mason win?
Speaker 2: It isn't. Now, okay, you tell me when you want
Speaker 2: another hint, I'll give you.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let me just ask you this. Am I
Speaker 1: on there? Is this a shortstop? Am I on the right?
Speaker 2: It is not?
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's where the hint is. This is an outfielder,
Speaker 1: so really really good defensive outfielder with a two sixty
Speaker 1: six expected fielding run. I mean he takes away runs. Dude,
Speaker 1: Who the hell is this? This is guy who's like
Speaker 1: a really one more good Yeah, give me one more
Speaker 1: hint and nol west and now west.
Speaker 2: Uh? Is this is this?
Speaker 1: This isn't Carol, is it?
Speaker 2: It's Andy PAHs.
Speaker 1: Andy Pa has Oh see Carol j Chaw did with
Speaker 1: me exactly and Sir Samurai got it right off there.
Speaker 2: Somebody got it before that too. Lord Ferndell got it
Speaker 2: as well. So I didn't want to say because he
Speaker 2: had got it, but yes, this is Andy Pa has
Speaker 2: has been sinking like a stone since June. So three
Speaker 2: twenty one, in April, in March two sixty six, in
Speaker 2: May two twenty five with three homers in June he
Speaker 2: had hit eight in May and five in March and April.
Speaker 2: In July he's hitting two twenty four with one bomb,
Speaker 2: and he's hitting one ninety five with no bombs, five
Speaker 2: runs and three RBI since the break. So Andy Pa
Speaker 2: has he's staying out there because of this. Uh, he's
Speaker 2: staying out there because of his defense. It's been incredible,
Speaker 2: but he has been rough.
Speaker 1: This is the all timer Pa has also giving off
Speaker 1: a rico vibes.
Speaker 2: Ah, this looks like really angry Joe Ryk.
Speaker 1: You know what I want to do. I want to
Speaker 1: put these two pictures of Jared Jones and Rico put
Speaker 1: it in AI and say, please mold this into one
Speaker 1: person and see if we get Joe Rico. That that
Speaker 1: is absolutely killing ass. Very interesting. Yeah, but the last
Speaker 1: thirty days, hitting just two fifty six, two homers, two
Speaker 1: stolen bases, he has not been as valuable. But you
Speaker 1: want to know the hilarious part. We have talked about
Speaker 1: you know him or Kyle Tucker all season. It's still
Speaker 1: pot It's like Tucker. Tucker still isn't quite turned it around.
Speaker 2: He's from this point forward though, I would take Tucker.
Speaker 1: I mean day forward from today, like you think he's
Speaker 1: just done. Tucker, by the way, two forty three over
Speaker 1: the last month, two homers, they're almost the same. They're
Speaker 1: almost the same guy.
Speaker 2: So there you go, you're trade for some outfielders. These
Speaker 2: outfielders suck. The Dodgers need to do something.
Speaker 1: They might they might do that. There you go, very
Speaker 1: very fun. Another crazy one where we couldn't get the
Speaker 1: guesses and apparently they're all doppelgangers of Joe Rico. So
Speaker 1: shout out to a Rico that one. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know if I would ever got that, but that
Speaker 1: one was killing me. Here and the Tucker stuff is
Speaker 1: very depressing.
Speaker 2: By the I was like, did I say something weird?
Speaker 2: Because I was looking at the screen that come back
Speaker 2: and you just have the biggest grint on your face.
Speaker 1: Just when I saw that comment. It was just the
Speaker 1: hilarity of the idea of like another guy that looks
Speaker 1: like Joe Rico just kills me. It was very very funny.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Thank you guys for playing
Speaker 1: along with that. In fun facts, Jimithy has taken over baseball.
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen the the malformed raccoon Jimithy, I
Speaker 1: guess in like obviously short of up in Syndrome, Washington.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember when I first saw this thing. I was like,
Speaker 1: what is going on here? And then they described it,
Speaker 1: you know, but it looked like a thing because the
Speaker 1: legs were like really long.
Speaker 2: I did see people saying this is where cryptis came from, right,
Speaker 2: like the weird cryptid animals, and nobody knew was it
Speaker 2: is probably malformed regular animal.
Speaker 1: These are the type of things of legend of like
Speaker 1: why we get stories of these crazy creed It'll be
Speaker 1: just like some you know, short spined raccoon that they're
Speaker 1: like Damon, you know that's where came from.
Speaker 2: That's I introduced Jimothy to our boy, Seth Wolcock. I
Speaker 2: don't know how we got onto it, but I was like,
Speaker 2: have you seen Jimothy yet? And he's like, I don't
Speaker 2: know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Well, the reason we're talking about Jimothy is not only
Speaker 1: are the Rocket City trash pandas who are obligated, by
Speaker 1: the way, just by name to have a night, which
Speaker 1: Minor League Baseball always does. By the way, it's great.
Speaker 1: They are going to be featuring a pregame Raccoon parade
Speaker 1: for anyone who dresses up as a raccoon, specialty food
Speaker 1: and drinks served out of trash cans, and a Jimothy
Speaker 1: mask giveaway for the first two hundred kids. It's what
Speaker 1: my kids want. And then the Mariners, not to be outdone,
Speaker 1: Wednesday of next week, have announced Jimothy Knight, where they're
Speaker 1: going to be giving away Jimothy T shirts to twenty
Speaker 1: thousand fans and they're also this is unreal. They're also
Speaker 1: making Jimithy rookie cards and they will have like one
Speaker 1: of one golds that are going to be out there.
Speaker 2: I think I say something the other day it was God.
Speaker 2: Who was it? It was some celebrity in a pack.
Speaker 2: I think, like who was it Rob Low in a
Speaker 2: in a gold pack. Imagine pulling a card and getting
Speaker 2: a one to one Jimothy, it would be pay seven
Speaker 2: hundred dollars for a pack.
Speaker 1: And I was gonna put this up. And by the way,
Speaker 1: maybe my favorite comment Jimothy also giving Joe Rico five.
Speaker 2: If you've ever.
Speaker 1: Seen Joe Rico a couple of drinks in at first pitch,
Speaker 1: you actually not that wrong.
Speaker 2: By the way, we started taking through the trash for food.
Speaker 2: Is that what he does a little bit?
Speaker 1: But Jimothy Knight is through. Please somebody do this and
Speaker 1: please contact us. I need a Jimothy trading card and
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna need a Jimothy something. So if you
Speaker 1: go into it, even if you don't give it for us,
Speaker 1: send us a picture if you go and take part
Speaker 1: in Jimothy Knight. But pretty great stuff there, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate teams that are doing that. I know I do
Speaker 1: love that too. All right, three up and three down
Speaker 1: on the up comment Zarto hit a grand slam. I
Speaker 1: fun fact, did know he existed anymore? And he hit
Speaker 1: one that was the I think the Bill Lin said
Speaker 1: he's still alive. Sal Stewart was two for three with
Speaker 1: a homeern, three RBI, a couple walks in a stolen base,
Speaker 1: little combo meal action and TODJ. Bradley six innings, three walks,
Speaker 1: but ten strikeouts, two earned runs has actually been really
Speaker 1: really good as of recent Let me see if I
Speaker 1: can pull this up. Somebody post about this. Do you
Speaker 1: have the stats or am I good?
Speaker 2: I don't, but but TODZ Bradley has it. He just
Speaker 2: waits until I release him or trade him or something
Speaker 2: that's basically what it is, and then he goes crazy.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't think I'm rostering TODJ. Anywhere. Everyone.
Speaker 2: You're welcome for that information, and he should be good
Speaker 2: for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: He is fourth in starting pictures over the last month
Speaker 1: on Fantasy pros VBRS as a player Raider two nine
Speaker 1: two ERA forty eight. I think he actually, I think
Speaker 1: is the most strikeouts of any pitcher over the last month. Nope, Third,
Speaker 1: Gavin Williams does Zach Wheeler, and then TODJ. Bradley. Todge
Speaker 1: Bradley has been incredible on the down h Dean Kramer
Speaker 1: four innings, eight hits, eight earned runs, three walks, give
Speaker 1: up a couple homers, but louh. Michael McGreevy one in
Speaker 1: two thirds, eight hits, seven earned runs and almost a
Speaker 1: yes hitter. Shane Bieber could not get out of the
Speaker 1: first inning four earned runs and six walks.
Speaker 2: Lol.
Speaker 1: Lol. No, we're not doing the Shane Bieber stuff anymore.
Speaker 1: On the injury front, Blue Jays Vladimir Guerrero exited with
Speaker 1: hamstring tightness. That's no bueno. Tyler gla and I think
Speaker 1: Akamoto came in immediately hit a home run. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen any updates on that. That's usually not great. Probably
Speaker 1: give him a couple of days Glass now. Tyler glasnow
Speaker 1: schedule to face hitters on Wednesday in a live batting
Speaker 1: practice session, so a little bit later today. Will Smith
Speaker 1: also is going to be resuming some baseball activities for
Speaker 1: them soon. So they've got a lot of reinforcements coming in,
Speaker 1: which probably makes it weird for them to want to
Speaker 1: buy on anybody, but they can if they want. Jake
Speaker 1: Bauers told reporters that additional imaging had revealed that the
Speaker 1: fracture in his right big toe was from a previous injury.
Speaker 2: So that's why he's been bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's actually been really good this season, but
Speaker 1: as of recent it's been bad.
Speaker 2: I know, it's just funny excuse. It's like, no, I've
Speaker 2: had this injury for a lot of time. Yeah, Welsh
Speaker 2: does like to run his ski feet into whatever is around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my left pinky toe is just permanently just done.
Speaker 1: It just jacked up from.
Speaker 2: Looks like Anthony Munio's fingers. It's bad. Yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 1: I think Kyle Harrison's going to make a minor league
Speaker 1: rehab start tomorrow at HIGI, Wisconsin, so he's getting close
Speaker 1: to coming back here vetty very soon. Home run board,
Speaker 1: let's go take a look at the home run board,
Speaker 1: shall we. High Cubbies has not been getting any homers,
Speaker 1: but high Cubbies has created such a like a gap
Speaker 1: between the next person. It hasn't mattered. High Cubbies is
Speaker 1: your leader of forty six league. Golden does have forty two.
Speaker 1: Those are the only forties on their solar soflow, I'm
Speaker 1: nowhere to be seen. I don't think it's gonna happen. Boys,
Speaker 1: I need like six to get on the board. It's
Speaker 1: not good. It's not good home runs. Where are you
Speaker 1: going for your home run call today?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Josey Ramirez. He has lots of experience
Speaker 2: against Singer, twelve for thirty one at three eighty seven average,
Speaker 2: three homers and one point two sixty seven slugging percentage
Speaker 2: against singers. So jose has been very good against Singer
Speaker 2: in his career. So I'm just gonna go with some
Speaker 2: experience here.
Speaker 1: All right, I had not put anybody up, so we
Speaker 1: are gonna on the fly. We are gonna go with
Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez against Brady Singer. My favorite thing to do
Speaker 1: is go against Brady Singer at all times. You know,
Speaker 1: it would have been probably a better way for me
Speaker 1: to do it would be checking out the Betting Pros
Speaker 1: home run Model. You can check out the Betting Pros

Speaker 1: I am going to play one of them all right now.
Speaker 1: That takes us to our best bets of the day
Speaker 1: hard Rock Best Bets of the day. We talked about
Speaker 1: the home run plays, but are you going to play
Speaker 1: a home run? What are you doing for your best
Speaker 1: bet of the day?
Speaker 2: Well, number one, I'm an idiot and I thought that
Speaker 2: the d Backs game started an hour later than it did.
Speaker 2: So I picked the e Rod game today and by
Speaker 2: the way, he's gone through two and a third and
Speaker 2: only let up one run, so I had under two
Speaker 2: and a half earn runs plus one hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: Well, this past you was really smart. Past you was smart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pass Bogman really made a good call here apparently,
Speaker 2: so d Backs are up to zip so we like that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was that was my pick because it's
Speaker 2: a day game after a night game they went to
Speaker 2: extra innings. I had real good reasonings behind it, and
Speaker 2: it's working out. But I should have done a different
Speaker 2: bet because this game started in the middle of the
Speaker 2: show here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I did the right thing and I picked
Speaker 1: a game later in the day and I went with
Speaker 1: the Guardians I'm taking the Guardians. I always go against
Speaker 1: Brady Singer win in doubt. I play against Brady Singer
Speaker 1: at all times. The Cincinnati also just been stinky twenty
Speaker 1: three and twenty nine at home. Guardians are making that
Speaker 1: big push. They got that lineup going there. They're you know,
Speaker 1: vibing yesterday off of that man Zarto grand Slam. I
Speaker 1: was gonna pick zer Ramirez in this. So I really
Speaker 1: like them, but I like them through the first five.
Speaker 1: Joy Cantio had these in his moments four point zero
Speaker 1: two era. It slowed down a little bit when he
Speaker 1: was really dominant. But that's why I want to play
Speaker 1: against Brady Singer. I want to play four Joey Cantillo,
Speaker 1: and I want to do it through the first five.
Speaker 1: And I'm actually gonna take the first five run line,
Speaker 1: so Guardian's first five run line for them to be
Speaker 1: up by a run, that is going to be my
Speaker 1: play full and that is like right around I think
Speaker 1: plus money. If you want to do if I remember
Speaker 1: this correctly, if you want to do Guardian's first five
Speaker 1: money line, you can get that. It's a little bit
Speaker 1: juiced up. I don't hate that, So there you go.
