I Yes, 67 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: I quote tweeted it and I said, like, this guy's 68 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 3: a joke, Like I just don't even understand what the 69 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: point of it is. 70 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: And then he signs with the Dodgers. 71 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Uh, he's such a turd dude, Like I can't believe. 72 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: Like it was the most passive aggressive, like it was 73 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: really in your face. 74 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 4: It was like, hey, by the way, what he. 75 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: Was just since just calling him like what a scam artist? 76 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: May he's fifty two million dollars, has a negative war. 77 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 4: What a dirtbag? But hey, great job. 78 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm only saying it because we're putting out something he said, 79 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: but just what an absolute dirt bag. Report comes out 80 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: today about Garrett Crochet. Garrett Crochet kind of the tippy 81 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: top of the trade market. We many reports have come 82 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: out he's going to be traded. We know it's going 83 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: to happen, but there's always been a question about like 84 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: what is he going to look like? What is he 85 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: going to look like from a trade to bullpen usage standpoint? Well, 86 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: this report comes out, I guess, believe it or not, 87 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: from John Hayman, that Garrett Crochet is not going to 88 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: in any capacity, whether he's a White Sox or someone 89 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: else moved to the bullpen. That's great for everybody to hear, 90 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: but also will need an extension to pitch into October. 91 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: That's a very interesting element that got put out there. 92 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: But I think at the end of the day, the 93 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: biggest positive is that Garrett Crochet will only be a 94 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: starter if he's traded, plans to play through the rest 95 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: of the season, and the extension talk will only make 96 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: it better, So, you know, I think fantasy owners can. 97 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 4: Maybe have a little sigh relief. 98 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: I'd also throw in Joe, like I thought Paul Schemes 99 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: going essentially nine innings was the Pirates telling us he's 100 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: good to go, Like they had an out to let 101 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: him out after seven innings, even though it was seventy 102 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: eight pitches and they could have saved him, they didn't. 103 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,119 Speaker 4: Thought that was a good sign. 104 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: And like Louis Heal, the other of the trifecta of 105 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: those guys the triad, you know, he kind of held 106 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: back a little bit, like I don't think we feel 107 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: any better or worse about Louis Heal, but we feel 108 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: better about Schemes. And then this Garrett Crochet news is 109 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: pretty good. 110 00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 4: If he gets traded. 111 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: Yes, So the caveat is he has to get traded 112 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 3: for this to matter. If he's with the White Sox, 113 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: then they're gonna still do the abbreviated outings. 114 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: Is that what the report was saying. 115 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: No, I don't think I saw abbreviated outings full on 116 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: for the White Sox. 117 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: It was that he will not go to the bullpen. 118 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: So I mean, maybe that's what it was. 119 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: I don't remember that part if he's staying, But the 120 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: point of the report was he will not be in 121 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: the bullpen, no matter what, no matter where he is, 122 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: he's not going to the bullpen. 123 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 4: But if he's going to pitch. 124 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Into October, so let's say the Dodgers trade him, he 125 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: will need an extension, so that actually could make this 126 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: trade trickier if a team is not willing to drop 127 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: that extension right away. But if he is traded, I 128 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: think there's some really great news right there. 129 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 3: I'm just a little bit confused, Like, Okay, let's say 130 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: he gets traded the Dodgers. First of all, I think 131 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: it's a little bit risky to just throw him out 132 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: there seven innings, hundred pitches every single time. He's already 133 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: like one hundred innings over what he threw last year. 134 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: We're playing with fire a little bit. But like, let's 135 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: say he gets traded to the Dodgers and they don't 136 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: give him an extension, He's gonna sit on his hands 137 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 3: in October and not pitch for them. I mean, that 138 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 3: would be kind of a ballsy thing to do, But 139 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if I would actually, like, would he 140 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: actually do that or is it's just a little bit 141 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: of lip service to try and get a deal done. 142 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: Oh, I think there's a lot of lips. This is 143 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: a lot of agent lip service. 144 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 4: You put it. 145 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: You put this guy who's been with the white losing 146 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: White Sox for years, you put them on a Dodgers, 147 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: you get them in October for playing, and they're like, 148 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: Harry Garrett, we need you, and he's. 149 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 4: Like, no, I can't. My arm Like they're not gonna 150 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 4: do that. 151 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: So now I don't I think this is this is 152 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: all bolsterring, and that's fine, But I don't really care 153 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: necessarily about all those details. What I care about is 154 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: that the camp has committed that he will not go 155 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: to the bullpen, and he's committed to pitching through the 156 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: end of the year. So That is a really good sign. 157 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: And that's a good sign for fantasy owners because Garrett Crochet, 158 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: he's been one of the best pictures in baseball, I think, 159 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: leads and strikeouts. You know, k per nine has been 160 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: up there, walk the K minus walk person. I mean, 161 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: he has been at the tippy top, if not over 162 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: the last two months, he's been at the tippy. 163 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 4: Top all the way through. And I think it's a really. 164 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: Good sign because I've gotten tons of questions from fantasy owners, Oh, 165 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: Paul Skin's gonna. 166 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 4: Get held done? Is Garrett Crochet? What do I do? 167 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 4: What do I do at the. 168 00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: End of the day. I think there's a lot of 169 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: and iFIT to not even considering trading off these guys 170 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: that have just been absolutely dominated across the board for 171 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: fantasy because you're worried about some other stuff, another thing 172 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: to be worried about. I actually spend some time talking 173 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: about this in a trade fashion on the In This 174 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: League Fantasy Baseball podcast yesterday. Christian Yelich may may undergo 175 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: or may need season ending back surgery after being placed 176 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: on the IL earlier today, and there's an obviousness of 177 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: what that does for fantasy in general. Bye bye, You're 178 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: gonna put him on the eel and he's probably done 179 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: for the year. But I think this is going to 180 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: push the Brewers into needing to make a trade. And 181 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: let me tell this to you, this was the odd 182 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: trade I had them making because we haven't seen this 183 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: guy get pushed to them. But Chisholm, I think Chisholm, 184 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: even though it's like a weird combo, might be a 185 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: player that makes a ton of sense. If they're going 186 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: to lose an outfielder in Christian Yelich, they've got that division, 187 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: they've got a hold. I don't know if they would 188 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: feel calm. I mean, they do have depth by the way, 189 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: they do have like Garrett Mitchell, and they've got self 190 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: reel like but Jazz is controllable for years. 191 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 4: You can get him in. 192 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: Maybe they can consider him even going back into the 193 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: middle enfield. I think Jazz is like a really good 194 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: option that Yelich is going to go down at least 195 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: for them fixing things up. 196 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't mind that at all. I've seen him 197 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 3: talked about in a lot of rumors. 198 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: I know the Yankees. 199 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: They're something with the Yankees yesterday, how they don't want 200 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 3: him because they don't like his personality or something. Philadelphia 201 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 3: has been linked to him quite a bit, but Milwaukee 202 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: would actually make some sense. I guess it is pretty 203 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: tied to the Yellowsman. They would have to do something 204 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: if Yelig goes down. I wonder if there could be 205 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: some kind of Now I'm not the biggest prospect. I'm 206 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 3: not sure if Milwaukee could actually do this, but pull 207 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: off some kind of like Luis Robert plus a starting 208 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 3: pitcher from the White Sox, because Milwaukee is in some 209 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: desperate need of pitching as well. I mean, the guys 210 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: that they're rolling out there behind Freddy Perlt are a 211 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: little bit iffy, so they get like a fetti lou 212 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 3: Bob or a crochet lou Bob type of deal. 213 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: That could be something that really makes sense. 214 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 4: I don't know if they can get crochey. 215 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: I will say this, I saw a report yesterday that 216 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: had linked Vladimir. 217 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 4: Guerrero to the Brewers, and I. 218 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: Was immediately dismissed it as I guess I've been doing 219 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: a lot lately. 220 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 4: And then when I. 221 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: Started to look, because we did this exercise on the 222 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: podcast where we took all the big named players and 223 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: we theorize where they're gonna go, and then what the 224 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: trade looks like. And by the way, as somebody had 225 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: put jazz to Seattle, that's been a popular one, but 226 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: we had done the Randy or rosarinat Estak parades. Going 227 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: to Seattle, they need multiple helps. We didn't want to. 228 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 4: Put jazz there. 229 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: And then as I was revamping myself through the Brewers system. 230 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 4: It's not elite elite, but they've got depth across the board. 231 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 4: They've got guys. 232 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: They've got Jacob Mizarowski that could frontline some type of 233 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: a trade. Brock Wilkin, who they traded for or they 234 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: had drafted. Cooper Pratt is a guy that's way up there, 235 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: and the list kind of keeps going on, Luis Lara, They've. 236 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 4: Got a ton of depth. 237 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: What they don't have is a ton of guys that 238 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: are super close to the majors unless they go and trade, 239 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, like South Frielick or something in a trade, 240 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: which they could. So I think a Fetti robert One 241 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: might make sense because maybe you can get away with 242 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: maybe it is the might cringe at this, but maybe 243 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: it's a Miserowski and like a Cooper Pratt and something else, 244 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: and that might get. 245 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 4: Both of those guys. 246 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: But I think the point here is Yelich is gonna 247 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: be done with. If they're talking surgery, he's gonna be done, 248 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: and the Brewers are gonna have to go and make 249 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: a move, as the Mariners need to go and make 250 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: a move. Losing Luis Robert with a high ankle sprain, 251 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose. Unless you're comfortable losing all the momentum, 252 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: You've got to make something happen. That's why I think 253 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: there might surprisingly be more two star trades than we've 254 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: seen in any year. I remember seeing like once every 255 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: trade deadline. But we might see parades and Rose rain 256 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: and go to Seattle. We might see lou Bob and Fetti, 257 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: or lou Bob and Crochet package together. We might see 258 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: a handful of those. But I think the Brewers are 259 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: gonna be in a semi desperate situation in a market 260 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: that is easier to trade for him hitting than it 261 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: is pitching right now. But you're right they also could 262 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: use some pitching. A Fetti Luise Robert one as weird 263 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: of a like mix as it would be, would make 264 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: all the sense in the world. 265 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I think Detroit's another team there that could 266 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 3: maybe pair a couple, whether it's you know, Flaherty Schooble, 267 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: all that talk, but maybe they pair at Jason Foley 268 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: or maybe there's some other player that gets paired. There's 269 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 3: potentially a lot of high profile guy's going to be 270 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: moving around in the next couple of days. 271 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: There really is. I'm very excited to get into it. 272 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm actually i gotta be honest with you, I'm surprised 273 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: it's Thursday and we don't have any. 274 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: Eron so like we got rumors, hearents have always the 275 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 2: big movers so far. 276 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: I thought we would have had one like kind of 277 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: popping up, and there's been like one little one here 278 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: and then one over the weekend. There's also the there's 279 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: a real possibility that Tuesday could be bunkers. It might 280 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: be a bunkers. Everybody might be just holding on real 281 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: tight right up until that very last day and then 282 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: floodgates are just going to open for all the trade market, 283 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: but brutal for fantasy owners. Christian Yelich losing him that 284 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: is a bad, bad blow. But there are you know, 285 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: some assets out there that you could probably move to 286 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: to kind of make up for it. Lawrence Butler, I 287 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: would just point out to everybody, if even available, would 288 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: be the greatest turn if you lost Yelich to go 289 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: and get a guy like him. His ownership is probably 290 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: rocketed even a little bit more. But I don't know 291 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: if he's even over seventy percent in really highly competitive 292 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: leagues yet Mets. They swept the Yankees Francisco Lindor three 293 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: for six with two homers, two runs, score five RBIs 294 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Garrett Cole allowed eight hits, six earned runs 295 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, struck out four walk to I will present 296 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: it to you because it's always Joe to me here. 297 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on Garrett Cole? He's been nothing 298 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: if not inconsistent where he shows off the old shades 299 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: of Garrett Cole and then rattles off one of these. 300 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: Is this solely a Mets thing with Garrett Cole? Because 301 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: I know there's been a lot of people that have 302 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: put out the if you take away the Mets starts 303 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: for Garrett Cole, look at his numbers, is this a 304 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: Mets thing or do you think Garrett Garrett Cole is it? 305 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: You know, twelve starting pitcher rest of the way through. 306 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna fill in for Joe in more ways 307 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: than one here with the Garrett Cole hate. You know, 308 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: another Joe who's going bald well, not quite there yet, 309 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: but I'm trying to be, you know, another version of 310 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 3: Joe here today. I might get in some trouble for this, 311 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 3: but Garrett Cole, in my opinion, was already kind of 312 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: somebody to not be that interested in before the injury. 313 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 3: If you look at last season, he won the Cy 314 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: Young Award. Everybody's probably thinking, what the hell is guy 315 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: talking about? It was his worst strikeout might aus walk rate, 316 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 3: his worst Sierra's his worst ex fips going back to 317 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 3: his Pittsburgh days at age thirty three. 318 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 2: Now we've got the elbow. I forget if. 319 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 3: It was inflammation or if there was some kind of strain, 320 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: and now we've seen him come back and you know, 321 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 3: really struggle through his seven starts. 322 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 2: It's a five to four era. Yes, the Mets do 323 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 2: have some role. 324 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: In that, but it's still a team that you're gonna 325 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: have to fail that. 326 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: You can't. 327 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 3: You can't just remove starts to fit what you want 328 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 3: to happen. The strikeout raid is down, the walk rate 329 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 3: is up. I do worry about his elbow holding up 330 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 3: after so many innings in his career, He's been a 331 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: guy who's pretty consistently been two hundred plus innings and 332 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: we're about two innings now under his arm. I do 333 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 3: worry about what he's going to look like. And I 334 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 3: think if you can trade him off of that name 335 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: value and not have to worry about what could potentially 336 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 3: happen down the stretch, I'd be more inclined to do that, 337 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 3: assuming that you're still able to get quote unquote Garrett 338 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 3: Cole prices. If somebody's paying for the five forty eer, 339 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 3: then I wouldn't want to do that. But if somebody's 340 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 3: paying for the reigning cy young winner, I think that 341 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 3: could be a deal I'd be pretty interested in doing, 342 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 3: depending on what the return is. 343 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would. I actually would have liked. 344 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: I wish I would have pulled up the numbers of 345 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: the not Mets versus where else. He's been like, you're 346 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: not wrong in a lot of elements. He kind of 347 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: had me thinking of Zach Allen when you were talking 348 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: about that too, Like the amount of bullets that are 349 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: put on these guys arms a long term and just 350 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: like like Zach Allen's stuff is just like regressed this year, 351 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: but also it was like the amount of innings he 352 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: put on last year. And then you think of like 353 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: an entire career with Garrett Cole. He hasn't looked like 354 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: the elite level of Garrett Cole we've seen in the past, 355 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: but he also has shown some pretty distinct signs of 356 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: those in these starts back with you know, a lot 357 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: of time mysterily on in the year. I'm just not 358 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: as negative. Maybe it's like a more of a middle ground. 359 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: Everyone should play like I've been a little more Pollyanna 360 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: than I should on the Garrett Cole side. I think 361 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: both Joe's are huge Garrett Cole haters for some justified reasons. 362 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: So maybe played in the middle where it's like, you know, 363 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: if you could get him on the Chief, I would 364 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: still buy note Joe probably wouldn't. Some other performances Brenton Doyle, 365 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: maybe those underrated Fantasy Guy this whole year, I just 366 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: haven't spent enough time talking about him and a shame 367 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: on me had a Grand Slam five RBIs on Wednesday 368 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: in a massive blowout that was embarrassing to my bet. 369 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, Boston monusu a run. 370 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: In the first five innings, it was over in like 371 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: the first thing, it was like eight to two in 372 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: the second inning. It was disgusting. Tovar went off. We 373 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: did have some Jared Duran which was nice. Also Dodgers 374 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: and Giants. Robbie Ray allowed one run eight strikeouts while 375 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: putting the Dodgers hitless over five innings. 376 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 4: We also had glasnow in there. Any thoughts on the 377 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 4: Robbie Ray return the first inning. 378 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: If you just looked at the first inning and turn 379 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 3: the game off, you probably thought Robbie Ray was just disgusting. 380 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 3: Yesterday was awful. Start the first pitch, O Taani hit 381 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 3: it to the warning track and he hit a couple 382 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 3: of batters walking. I was like, what the hell. It 383 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: looked like he was not ready at all. And then 384 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: he I think led the day in swinging strike rate 385 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: and whiffs. 386 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: By the end of it. I think, if he's out there, 387 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: you got to pick him up. 388 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: I think yesterday I was talking about him on my 389 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 3: own show and he was like, fifty one, fifty two 390 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 3: percent rostered. 391 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: He's still out there. 392 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: And while there is some you know, potential for erratic 393 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: performances from Robbi Ray, You're getting big strike out upside, 394 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 3: You're getting a team that has looking not terrible, a 395 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 3: decent offense behind him. So if he's out there, I 396 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: think there's a lot more upside in picking up Robbie 397 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 3: Ray for one of your spots than using it for 398 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 3: a random streamer here and there. That could be a 399 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 3: guy who has a lot of value over the last 400 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 3: two months. 401 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: I had a funny thing in the Dynasty League, like 402 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: two weeks ago or a week ago. We were trying 403 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: to pull off this trade and I was trying to 404 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: add in Jeffrey Springs to a trade, and I was 405 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: going to be giving them back, leveling out the trade. 406 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: That's not what the whole trade was, but it was 407 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: like I was asking for Jeffrey Springs in a trade 408 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: and I was going to give him Robbie Ray. And 409 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: the person was like, yeah, I just don't think Robbi 410 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: Ray's going to do anything for me this season. I'm like, 411 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: he's already rehabbing, and he beat Jeffrey Springs back and 412 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: then he absolutely dominated the Dodgers in fun fact, every 413 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: rehab start. I don't know why, but I'm obviously the friends, 414 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: but every rehab start he did out here in Arizona. 415 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: Zach Greenki was at every single time Arizona, San Francisco. 416 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 4: And all the backfields. 417 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: But Zach Greenki, who had been working out with the 418 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: dime at the Dimonbacks facility, he just followed Robbie Ray 419 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: around every one of his rehabs starts, so maybe that 420 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: gave him some juice. A couple other starters. Jack Flaherty 421 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: three hits, one earned run, score, one unearned run across 422 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: six dollars innings on Wednesday, struck out six, maybe his 423 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: last start with the Tigers. He's going to be a 424 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: guy that's potentially on the trade market. Hunter Brown also 425 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: recorded eight strikeouts over one run over six innings. Jesus, 426 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: I cannot read or do any of that today. In 427 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: the just for fun category, I got two and then 428 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: I got one that I'm not going to mention, but 429 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: Ellida La Cruz three for five with a homer, his 430 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: fiftieth and fifty first stolen base of the year. I'm 431 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: going to ask you, as I asked Bubba, will he 432 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: break eighty stolen bases? 433 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: Bubba said? 434 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: Or is that what I asked everybody? I think I 435 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: said eighty or eighty five stolen bases? What do you 436 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: think the end season marker is going to be for 437 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: Ellie day La Cruz. 438 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 3: Eighty might be pushing it a little bit that he 439 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: does go through some stretches where he doesn't steal as 440 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 3: many bases. It's probably seventy seventy five. But if I 441 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 3: had to bet the over under on eighty, I think 442 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 3: I'd take the under. 443 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna bet seven. 444 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet like I think seventy five over is 445 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: the bet I'm gonna take over. I think he's going 446 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: to be hyper aggressive. Reese Hines, everybody's favorite. Oh for 447 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: four two strikeouts against the Braves in the first of 448 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: the double header? Are you must have Reese Hines guy 449 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: right now? 450 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 3: Pick him up in a couple of places. I picked 451 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 3: him up in tout Wars and a couple other leagues. 452 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 3: But honestly, it was just kind of hoping for the best. 453 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 3: I knew that strikeover rate was always going to be 454 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 3: a problem, and it's at thirty percent, which is actually 455 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: word than I thought it would be considering where he 456 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 3: was in the minors. But he's not a must roster 457 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 3: type of player. I don't think if you have the 458 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 3: luxury to hold on and maybe see if he can 459 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 3: figure things out, because he's a very fatous, friendly type 460 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 3: of guy in terms of the power, speed, in terms 461 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: of the ballpark, but he's lost playing time, he struggled. 462 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 3: I don't think you need to hold him in shallow. 463 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 4: Leagues, boy. 464 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: And in the just for fun segment, just want you 465 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: to guys to know, I want to talk about cal 466 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: Kwan Trill and Reese McGuire's interaction. I don't know how 467 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: to do it. If Joe was here, I'd let him 468 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: put his job on the line here, But just know 469 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: that cal Kwan Trill versus Reese McGuire in that little thing. 470 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: If you don't know what I'm talking about, go and 471 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: check it out, was literally the funniest thing that I 472 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: have seen the entire season. Calkwan Trill held nothing back 473 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: and he now owns property in Reese McGuire's head, and 474 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: that is a scary place to be in Reese McGuire's head. 475 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: My friends, that was That was the best. But I'm 476 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: not gonna do what he did. 477 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 4: Rookie lookies. 478 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: Jackson Merrill went four for five, a double, a tri, 479 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: three runs, scored and RBI as the Padres beat down 480 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: the Nationals. Jackson Merrill is still vying for that Rookie 481 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: of the Year spot. He's not gonna get it because 482 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: of Paul Skeans. I think we're I think we're at 483 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: the point we know knowing Paul Skeens is gonna go 484 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: where he is. I had that bet seventeen to one 485 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: in the preseason. I freaking bet Jackson Merrill. I bet 486 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: Jackson Turia, I bet every well. Those are the only 487 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: two n L guys. I bet both like two and 488 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: three in that award. But just unless Skens goes down 489 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: or stops pitching, it's gonna be impossible for him to 490 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: not take that away. 491 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: I don't know, though. 492 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 3: I don't know ever Strider Mike Harris a couple of 493 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: years ago. I thought it was Strider for sure. Everybody 494 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 3: kind of thought it was gonna be Strider, but Michael 495 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 3: Harris came on late. 496 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 2: Took it from him. 497 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: I think they tend to lean towards the position player more. 498 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 3: If Skeens has a couple starts down the stretch, that 499 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 3: pushes Era up into the low threes. I don't think 500 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: it's a done deal yet. I really don't. 501 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: It's early enough that it can change. But to your point, 502 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: like I just, I think there's so much juice that 503 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: came in with Paul Skeins. There was so much stigma, 504 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: like it wasn't there with Strider. Paul Skins already came in. 505 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: He is the prospect of prospect. Everybody loves him. You know, 506 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: he started the All Star Game. 507 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 4: I think that changes the dynamic. 508 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: What it will take is for Paul Skens to either 509 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: completely fall apart or get held back, you know, hurt 510 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: or something like that at this point. But Jackson Merrill 511 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: has been like a boom. He's been an absolute win 512 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: and I'm glad that we talked about him, and I'm 513 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: glad he was on my list of guys to draft 514 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: early in this year. I think I nailed some of 515 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: those outfielders outside of Corbyn Carrol, I will say Jared 516 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: durand Jackson Merrill were on my must draft list early on, 517 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: and those have definitely paid off. 518 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 4: Some other rookies. 519 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: David Festa seven strikeouts, one earned run, over four and 520 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: one thirds of an inning on Wednesday. It was like 521 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: a back end starter performance. So David Festa looking good. 522 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: Connor Norby promoted to from Triple A in front of 523 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: that Thursday series finale against the Marlins. I wonder if 524 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: this is even a little bit of a show us 525 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: what you got type of thing, a precursor to an 526 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: Oriole's huge trade getting Norby back in the majors. In 527 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: you're kind of trading a major league talent that might 528 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: give you an extra boost. I kind of think this 529 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: might be showcasing a little bit for a future trade, 530 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: because I think he's got to have to be involved 531 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: in it. Unless they don't go and trade for a 532 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: big player. 533 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 3: They got to do something. I mean, it's just ridiculous. 534 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 3: They call up all these amazing prospects. Look at stat 535 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 3: Krestad when he's been up recently, has been excellent, and 536 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 3: he's sitting all the time. They don't have room for 537 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 3: these guys. They got to turn it into pitching. They 538 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 3: have to turn it into pitching. They did a good 539 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 3: job getting Corbyn Burns without really having to move off 540 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 3: of their top top tier guys or Teas and DL Hall. 541 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 3: I think that was really really smart. Now they're going 542 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 3: to have to pay up, and I think, honestly, like 543 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 3: go get Trek Scuoble, Go trade Norby Mayo. Whatever the 544 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 3: combination is, go get Terrek Scooble, and hell see if 545 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 3: you can get Jack Flarerty in the mix as well. 546 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 3: I know he was in Baltimore last year. Things didn't 547 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 3: work out for him, but he's a different pitcher this season. 548 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 3: If Baltimore had Burns, Schooble, Grayson Rodriguez Flarerty for a 549 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 3: playoff series with their offense, it's not game over. It's 550 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 3: never game over. But that's putting yourself in an amazing position. 551 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 3: I think they need to move these pross before they 552 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 3: come up and they because they're not all going to 553 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 3: pan out right. Some of these guys are gonna come 554 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 3: up and they're gonna be busts, and before you have 555 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 3: the opportunity for that to happen, get off of them 556 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 3: and get some pitchon back. 557 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: I really think I outlined a NTL. I put Terrek 558 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: Scubel to Baltimore. I personally do not think it's gonna happen, 559 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: but I also put what I think the trade could 560 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: look like. But in my heart of hearts, why I 561 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna happen is because I think. 562 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 4: What Detroit says. They say, okay, great. 563 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: You want Terry Scoubel. It will take Mayo and Holiday. 564 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 4: And I think that's the break because everybody is like. 565 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: All right, one of maybe those guys Or try to 566 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: do it without Mayo and Holiday and that's cute. But 567 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: the Tigers have everything, and that's what I would do. 568 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: I would stand firm. We can talk when you say 569 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: it can be Holiday and Mayo, and we don't talk otherwise. 570 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: So that's where I think things get stuck. And you know, 571 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: they could still do it without changing their big side 572 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: of their roster. Maybe Mayo, Kurstad and the Norby get 573 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: it done. We'll see what happens. I just don't think 574 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: he's gonna get traded. But I do agree that the 575 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: or should do. 576 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 2: The catcher the Bsio. 577 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 3: I think they probably send me up with him because 578 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 3: there's no unless they want to put him at first. 579 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: Like Rutchman's the guy there. He makes obvious sense to move, 580 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 3: don't you think. 581 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 582 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: I think like if it was I think Mayo Basio 583 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: and then maybe Norby and then another piece that is 584 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: a hall. There's no doubt about it. But like I 585 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: would be a pain in the ass if I'm if 586 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: I'm the Tigers, unless like, hey, my phone is here, 587 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: but do not call until it's Mayo and Holiday and 588 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: then just that that's also like a leverage situation because 589 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: if you can get them into that where they're talking, 590 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: maybe it does transfer, because it could be something where 591 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: the Oriols go, Okay, we'll give you Mayo and Holiday 592 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: and that's it. Or you can have Mayo Basaio Norby 593 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: and we'll give you you know, maybe it's kde Povich 594 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: or there's another picture out there, like it could be 595 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: a Hall otherwise, and then that gives them leverage. So 596 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: just be on the lookout for that. But I think 597 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: this could be showcasing a showcasing situation for Norby. Also 598 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: Brett Batty four for five, we were talking about him yesterday. 599 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: A couple homers, three RBI triple A on Tuesday now 600 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: has an almost thousand ops with a two eighty nine 601 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: batting average, and then the Dodgers option Land and Knack 602 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: to triple A because it is Clayton Kershaw time. Are 603 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: you optimistic about this start? 604 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 4: Today? 605 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is back going up against Logan Webb and 606 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: the Giants. Would you put him out there. 607 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 3: I put him out there. You've you've been stashing him 608 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 3: for four months. You haven't been doing that, so you 609 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 3: could sit him in his first start back. I think 610 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 3: I think you're putting him out there unless we're talking 611 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 3: like honestly, even if you're playing in an eight team league, 612 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 3: I can't see myself benching Kershaw. It's not like he's 613 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 3: playing a high powered offense. If he was like in 614 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 3: Philadelphia or playing the Orioles, maybe it'd be a little 615 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 3: bit different. San Francisco is not bad. But I'm putting 616 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 3: Kershaw out there, even ten, twelve, fifteen, whatever the format is, 617 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 3: I'm starting him. 618 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I am going into I don't think 619 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna go super deep, but I think five is 620 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: definitely possible. 621 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 4: Three up and three down, three up. 622 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: Corey Seeger four for five with a homer, three runs score. 623 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: You guys wouldn't believe it. I should have said it, 624 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: so you guys. 625 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 4: Do believe me. 626 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: But I don't lie about this stuff. I was gonna 627 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: pick Corey Seger yesterday and then I went to my 628 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: guy Gunner, so stupid mes Garcia three for five with 629 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: a double, two RBI and a stolen base let's get 630 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: him back going. Nate Evaldi allowed two runs while striking 631 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: out ten over seven. That may have been his last start. 632 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: They've been rumors about the Rangers moving him, so be 633 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: on the lookout on the Evaldi. I just noticed all 634 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: Evaldi or arranger guys on the up. We should have 635 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: put some Rockies on there. Rocky scored a bunch of runs. 636 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: Chris Bryant came back on the down. Nick Paveta, the worst, 637 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: slacked eight runs two and two thirds of an inning 638 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Frankie Montas allowed four runs on ten hits. 639 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: JP Sears eight runs seven were earned over six on 640 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: Wednesday as they lost to the Astro. Some injury news, 641 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of it. Tanner Biby was removed Wednesday 642 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: from Wednesday start against the Tigers after five innings due 643 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: to cramping in the leg. I feel that forty years old, 644 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: I get it. Josh Young going to begin a minor 645 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: league rehab assignment at Double A Frisco on Wednesday, so 646 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: we might be next week ish for a return on 647 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: Josh Young. Edward Rodriguez is set to throw a simulated 648 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: game on Friday. Who knows when he'll come back. You 649 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: shouldn't count on him easy drop if you still were. 650 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: Walker Bueler is going to make a minor league rehab 651 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: assignment or start in Triple A on Friday. So the 652 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: Dodgers are getting their reinforcements back. No matter what they 653 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: do in the trade market, if they do or don't 654 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: trade for Garrett Crochet, they're getting guys back. Clayton, Kershaw, 655 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: Walker Bueler. That's why they gave up on Packson. Clark 656 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: Schmidt scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. Jacob 657 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: de Gram through a forty pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. 658 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: We'll see if that ever happens. Evan Carter is going 659 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: to begin a minor league rehab assignment by the end 660 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: of the week. Josiah Gray had Tommy John Ugh, and 661 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: the biggest. Mike Trout will return to Los Angeles to 662 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: undergo further evaluation after being pulled after two innings in 663 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: a minor league rehab assignment in Salt Lake. 664 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: It's not good. 665 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: Do you have any hope for Mike Trout moving forward, Joe, 666 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: I have hope. 667 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 3: Realistically speaking, I don't think we're ever going to see 668 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 3: Mike Trout be Mike trout again. I put up a 669 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 3: poll recently, you think Mike Truck will get the five 670 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 3: hundred home runs in his career and it was pretty 671 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 3: much dead split in the middle. 672 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if. 673 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: We're going to see him getting He's like three hundred 674 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 3: and eighty right now. I don't know if we're going 675 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 3: to see him healthy enough in his later thirties to 676 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 3: hit another hundred and twenty homers. 677 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: It's pretty sad at this point. 678 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 3: But it's like the Ken Griffy junior trajectory pretty much exactly. 679 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: I think he's in and get right there. I mean, yeah, 680 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: like you know, he can rattle off like what could 681 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: take three, three or four seasons, might take him five more, 682 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: five or six or something like that. 683 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 4: It's a pretty good question. 684 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: But your hopes of being able to depend on him 685 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: getting smaller and getting smaller. All right, friends, those are 686 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: the big fantasy updates. Let's get to it. I need 687 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: to turn things around and let's see where Joe's that. 688 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 4: Because Bubba killed it the other day, it's time for 689 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 4: the best bets of the day. Yeah, yeah, there you go. 690 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 4: You did that. 691 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, me and Joe always did it together. Joe jumped 692 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: over me the other day too, by the way, which 693 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: is so weird. 694 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, I'm not the co host, but yes, 695 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 4: best bets of the day. 696 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: Joe Rico myself, I had a bad I've had a 697 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: bad couple days. I've had some distractions off of here 698 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: that I think has taken me off. 699 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 4: So I'm going to get it simple. But Jill, let's 700 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 4: start with you. 701 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: What are you tackling on your best bets of the 702 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: day today? 703 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 3: The first one is going to be my guy, Taj Bradley. 704 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 3: If anybody out there follows me, then know how much 705 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 3: I love Taj. He's like the Rodney Dangerfield of the sportsbooks. 706 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 3: He does not get any respect. His line was set 707 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 3: at five and a half strikeouts or four and a 708 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 3: half strikeouts five and a half strikeouts. I took the 709 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 3: alt line at six plus, getting it at plus one thirty. 710 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 3: We're talking about one of the better strikeout pitchers in 711 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: all of baseball facing a horrible, horrible Blue Jays lineup, 712 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 3: so I think he can pretty easily get the six. 713 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 3: He's hitting that pretty consistently, so I think taking that 714 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: at plus money is the way to go. And Stang 715 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 3: in Toronto short s late today, not a hell of 716 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 3: a lot of options, but I went with Chris Bassett 717 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: over one and a half walks. It's a little juice 718 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 3: at minus one fifty, but it's pretty much free money 719 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 3: at this point. Every start, this guy's walking two three 720 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 3: four batters. The command has been awful for Chris Bassett. 721 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 3: It's the worst this command has ever looked. Even though 722 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 3: his performance has picked up a little bit throughout the season, 723 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 3: that command has been just pretty atrocious. And then the 724 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 3: last one, going back to the Dodgers in Clayton Kershaw. 725 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 3: As much as I would start him tonight and I 726 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 3: do think that he'll be fine, there is a chance 727 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 3: that he's on a bit of a pitchulaman. 728 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 2: I think it was sixty seven pitches in his. 729 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 3: Last rehab start, So I'm taking the under four and 730 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 3: a half strikeouts' getting that at plus one hundred. There's 731 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 3: a chance he gets there. But I don't see the 732 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 3: Dodgers really pushing him so much. I think they're gonna 733 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 3: be very careful with They're maybe not their prize to 734 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 3: ask at anymore, but somebody that they want to have 735 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 3: healthy down the stretch. I don't think we're gonna see 736 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 3: Kershaw go more than five innings, and I think under 737 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 3: four and a half is. 738 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,239 Speaker 2: A pretty solid way to go. 739 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 3: So Todge Bradley's six plus strikeouts, Chris Bassett over one 740 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 3: and a half walks, and Clayton Kershaw under four and 741 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 3: a half strikeouts all at BET three sixty five. 742 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: I really like the alt strikeout line one with Todge 743 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: Bradley because the issue you have, especially with the guy 744 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: like him, in matchups like this, you have these low 745 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: strikeout ish teams, these teams that don't strike out a 746 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: whole bunch that they're like battling against. But like Toadze, 747 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: Bradley has been a guy that has done a decent job. 748 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: You know, whether it would be like teams like the Guardians, 749 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, you know those are teams even the Mets, 750 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: those have been teams that you kind of want to 751 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: like push back a little bit against on those big 752 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: strikeout ones. But I actually like this alt because the 753 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: line was so low on Bradley, So I'm really with that. 754 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: I legit just went hard on money lines, full game 755 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: money lines today because I need to get back to simplicity. 756 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 1: It's funny here like this, there's this guy in this 757 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: chat in our chat Joseph, who's trolling me about, like, hey, 758 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: I take Wesh's bets, but I go the other way. 759 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 4: I've been ridiculously good. 760 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: For months, and but you go through these spurts. That's 761 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: what's so tough about fantasy baseball or baseball betting, is 762 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: like you just go boom boom. You're great for a week, 763 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: then you push off of it. But however you want 764 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: to do it. But one of them, I was going 765 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: to go Baltimore minus one and a half runs to 766 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: the first five today a plus money against the Marlins, 767 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 1: and it kills me because they're six to nothing right now. 768 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 4: And I didn't do. 769 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: It because I have talked myself off of little bit. 770 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: So going back to basics, there's actually some really good 771 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: full game money lines. I'm going Atlanta if they don't 772 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: get rained out again. I saw somebody mentioning that minus 773 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: one twelve full game money line with Chris Sale Cleveland. 774 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: That one is juiced up a little bit. But again 775 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: we're going back to basics. With Gavin Williams, I'm going 776 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: Cleveland full game money line, and I'm going Dodgers with 777 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw going up against the Giants and Logan Web. 778 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: That's minus one twenty five. I took all three of those, 779 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: not parlaying, just single played full game money lines. That's 780 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: where I'm going at it. There's a couple other interesting 781 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: parlays that are floating out there. Actually might join you 782 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: on the TAJ Bradley one and Frindos. Those are the 783 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: best bets of the day. If I could bring up 784 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: the thing which I can't hear it is, Hey, look 785 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: look at Joe. You already shaved your head. Best bets 786 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: of the day brought to you by bet three six 787 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 1: five again use that promo code leading off home run board. 788 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: Did I get the home run board up here? 789 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's take a look here. Let's see home run 790 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 4: board right here. 791 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: We've still got Joe amazingly is still held on. He's 792 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: at the very bottom of twenty six. Walkie's up here 793 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: on the board at twenty seven. Good on them. I 794 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: am still sitting down at twenty two. Elscal's got the 795 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: lead at thirty five, Silent Dragon at thirty four. I 796 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: don't think we had a whole lot of changes here. 797 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: Maybe we added another thirty home run person. We have 798 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: eight people with thirty plus. 799 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 4: Home runs on the board. 800 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: So, mister Joe Rico joining the fun here, who are 801 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: you going for on the home run board today? 802 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 3: I'm going with the new pop up power and going 803 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 3: to Austin Riley for the Braves. 804 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. 805 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 3: Sometimes when guys come back after having a kid, they're 806 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 3: a little bit recharged. He's facing Luis Severino. He has 807 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 3: been pretty solid himself. I know that he started off 808 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 3: pretty poorly this season, but he's picked it up. 809 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: I don't know. 810 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,719 Speaker 3: I'm a Toronto guy, and Fred van Vliet with that 811 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 3: Raptors championship in twenty nineteen, he has a kid, he 812 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 3: comes back and he all of a sudden is just 813 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 3: a superstar. That one always stuck with me. That's not 814 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 3: the reason why I'm going with this, But I think 815 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 3: the new dads always have a little bit extra there 816 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 3: in the tank. So I'm going with Austin Riley against 817 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 3: Louis Severino tonight. 818 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 2: Maybe not the right way to put it. I don't 819 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 2: know if they have extra energy in the tank. I 820 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 2: think he's gonna do well tonight against Severino. 821 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is an extra oomph that's going on here. 822 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 4: I like it. 823 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Jose Ramirez.
