Speaker 3: you over these last couple of weeks. It's always great

25
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: when we get to do a show together.

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we're gonna get to be doing more, everybody.

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: It's August. You know what that means. It's August time. Well,

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna get We're gonna be trading in a Joe

29
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: for a Joe. We've got a little bit above action.

30
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: But let's kick it right in and one of Joe's

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: favorite things. If he was here, you know exactly what

32
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: he would be hitting. Yes, right there, talking about Jackson Holiday,

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: Jackson Holiday yesterday, a Rico, we're talking about it, we're

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: breaking Hey gets called up. Piece of pa is asking

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: you know, what do you think? Do you think he's

36
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a dude? And I do feel good. I'm

37
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: gonna hold to my laurels. I'm gonna, as I said, like,

38
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: I think he's a contact hitter. I think he's gonna

39
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: kind of find his rhythm back up there, and sure

40
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: enough hits a grand slam, hits his first career homer,

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: Grand slam style almost hits another homer by the way

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: over on the pull side having a ridiculous debut. So

43
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: this is attached to another very important situation. Jordan Westburg

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: fractured his hand, huge blow, having a really great season

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: two seventy eighteen homers fifty eight RBIs this does one

46
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: of two things solidifies Jackson Holiday for the rest of

47
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: the year, like mah and or brings up Kobe Mayo.

48
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: It could be Kobe Mayo time. If they're gonna lose

49
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Westburg, they got some stuff that they're gonna kind

50
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: of finagle with. But let's start with the Jackson Holiday side.

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: Jackson Holiday comes out big off of that horrific, horrific

52
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: pro debut. Are you trusting Jackson Holiday rest of season

53
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: after seeing it's only one game? But are you gonna

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: trust Jackson Holiday as like a must own and must

55
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: start player.

56
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: It's amazing how one game can really change everything. I

57
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: got like thirty Jackson Holiday questions yesterday. If you went

58
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: over four, nobody would have cared. And we shouldn't really

59
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: get too swayed one way or the other. But I've

60
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: become a pretty strong believer that guys need to struggle

61
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: a bit when they first come up. Maybe not initially,

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 3: but they will have to go through some bumps and bruises.

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: He did that with that fifty percent strikeout. Right now,

64
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: I think, you know, the wheels are up and he's

65
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: going to be a really solid asset rest of season.

66
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: Kind of in the same way that Wyatt Langford struggled,

67
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: and he's picked things up over the last couple of months.

68
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: I know he hasn't been like setting the world on

69
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 3: fire recently, but he's picked things up. Holiday's kind of

70
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: the same way I would trust him. If you're seeing

71
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: him out there on any waiver wires, I'd be picking

72
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: him up. He's sixty four percent rostered on Yahoo. There's

73
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: still room for you guys to still get him on

74
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: your roster's dual eligibility.

75
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: There's a lot to like here.

76
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: I uh, when I'm looking at the depth chart here,

77
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: like they still have west Bergen. They're gonna have to

78
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: make the move for it. And what may end up

79
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: happening is you've got ramon Urius. You know, they've got

80
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: a couple pieces that are floating out there that they

81
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: may throw in there. Jackson Holiday currently slated as their

82
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: second baseman. They could move him over to third, but

83
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: it really does feel like this is a Kobe Mayo situation,

84
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: and Kobe Mayo comes up, he is an absolute must

85
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: pick up. So let me ask you this. Let's just

86
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: say he does come up, and let's say Jackson Holiday

87
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: does hold down this second base job. They're both out there,

88
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: who do you prioritize Jackson Holiday or Kobe Mayo.

89
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: I'd go Holiday because, like I said, he's already had

90
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: that initial struggle, and I also don't really trust the

91
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: way the Oriols are going to use their prospects the

92
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: way that they've showed us over the last year plus.

93
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: Holiday is I think a little bit of a different story,

94
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 3: being like the number one overall prospect. But Kowser Westburg, here'stad.

95
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: They come up, they sit on the bench half the time,

96
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: So I kind of need to see how they're going

97
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: to use him before I'd really want to take that stab. Specifically,

98
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: in shallow leagues, like in fifteen teamers, you kind of

99
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: need to just take the chance on them and hope

100
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: for the best. But in shallow leagues, they just haven't

101
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: really given us a lot of reason to trust these

102
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 3: young guys coming up playing twice a week. They haven't

103
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: really been that valuable, so I'm a little more pessimistic

104
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: for the initial call up.

105
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've said a lot like the path is

106
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: not linear, you know, with a lot of these prospects,

107
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: like there is time. I'm not sure. I'm like, I

108
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: welcome big struggles, but I also don't think struggles are

109
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the be all end all with with prospects, because it's

110
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: like you want to see how they bounce back and

111
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: learn from it, especially guys like really really good contact

112
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: based players. That's why I have a really good trust

113
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: in Jackson Holiday. Yes, the same thing may happen with Mayo.

114
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: There's some strikeout stuff out there. Big power probably wouldn't

115
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: hit at the top of the lineup no matter what.

116
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: I kind of do think this might be a Jackson

117
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: Holiday play for the rest of the season. But if

118
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Mayo comes up, you should pick him up. I want

119
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: to point something out to Eddie. Eddie, are you new here?

120
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: Eddie's picking on my hair because it's flowing high. Of

121
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: course it's flowing high. If I get to flow it high,

122
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: she's banging.

123
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: Now.

124
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: I will tell you I have been attempting a little

125
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,119
Speaker 1: bit more to bring it down and swoop it over.

126
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: But today was a big old poof day. So Eddie,

127
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: you're new here with your lols laughing at it. You're

128
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: not going to affect me there, buddy, because this hair

129
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: with all the bald heads. No, we're going to take

130
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: the big flow. Don't you shame me, Eddie. So Jordan

131
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: Westburg out, Jackson Holiday going Logan more news stuff. Logan

132
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Web was dominant, complete game, shutout, six strikeouts and a

133
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: one zero victory over the Age. Yesterday he allowed just

134
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: one walk. On the inverse of it, Framber Valdez was okay.

135
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: I thought, I really thought this was going to be

136
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: like one of the starts of the day. Surrendered six hits,

137
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: four and runs in six innings. And Wednesday as the

138
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: Pirates as the Astros beat the Pirates, but barely, just

139
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 1: barely in the right at the end of the game.

140
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: I had Astros on a money line bet that I

141
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: thought was just done. But Framber gave up a couple,

142
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: just bad meat balls. He's just been so inconsistent rest

143
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: of season. Framber Valdez, your Logan Web easily Logan Web

144
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: for me.

145
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: Valdez, like, like you said, the inconsistency is the lack

146
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: of strikeouts. Like, I know he's not been a massive,

147
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: massive strikeo guy, but he's down at just league average

148
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 3: twenty two percent this year. I think it's pretty easily

149
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 3: Logan Web for me.

150
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it is Logan Web as well. I'm

151
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: pretty down on Framberveldez, like I just haven't just the inconsistencies.

152
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: It just I'm not about that. I mean, Logan Web's

153
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: has his stuff as well. Clayton Kershaw, speaking of inconsistencies,

154
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: gave up six hits, seven runs, three earned over three

155
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: and two thirds on Wednesday, losing to the Padres. Padres

156
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: are going to be a problem. Any lack of trust

157
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: in Clayton Kershaw moving forward after that start.

158
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: I do want to give him a little bit of

159
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: time coming off his shoulder surgery. At the same time,

160
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: two whiffs is not really what I want to see

161
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: at all. But I saw people yesterday like Dodgers fan

162
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: saying up, it's over. He's nothing, but you know, just

163
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: a relic of the past and he's here to sell

164
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: tickets or something. I think he's still quite a bit

165
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: better than that. He was very good in his first

166
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: start back. It's Clayton Kershaw, and I think we have

167
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: to use different measuring points for these generational type of players.

168
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: Even though the velocity's down, he's not the same guy.

169
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: He hasn't really been that same guy for the last

170
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: couple of seasons, and he's still been great. So I

171
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: think he's earned the benefit of the doubt here. If

172
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: people are cutting him today, I'd pretty happily go pick

173
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: him up.

174
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like in like a ten team league,

175
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he's he's a best a streamer.

176
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: In a twelve team league, you're probably holding on. I'm

177
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: probably giving him a little bit more leeway than some

178
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: other guys. So like maybe I'm paying attention to who

179
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: he's starting, and I might put him on the bench

180
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: if it's you know, a team like the Padres or

181
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: something like that. But the team context is important. I

182
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think this is the must drop

183
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: kind of like you're alluding to what some people are saying,

184
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: like it just it's dependent. It's dependent what's available out there.

185
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, if you're dealing with just kind of garbage streamers,

186
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm not super interested in it. You're gonna have these

187
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: kind of ebbs and flows but you know what we

188
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: do have to pay attention to as well, is as

189
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: these Dodger pitchers get healthy quote air quotes here. If

190
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: they actually get healthy and then that rotation becomes something

191
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: where there's actually depth, then there could be stuff that

192
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: end up happening with Kershaw. But it's a it's a

193
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: bad blip. We'll pay attention to it. Matt Shaw, I

194
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: want to ur Matt Olsen saw Matt Shaw, prospect person Cubs.

195
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Matt Olsen pair of solo homers yesterday

196
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: on Wednesday as the Braves beat the Brewers. I want

197
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: to talk about Olsen here for a second. He's up

198
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: to seventeen homers to twenty six average. It's been relatively

199
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: abysmal season, as everybody knows, especially anybody that made those

200
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: like early on bets. I'm curious where you are on shot.

201
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: Everything is down kind of across the board. His expected

202
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: batting average is a little bit better than it currently is,

203
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: but it's not that much better. Hard hit numbers are down,

204
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: strikeouts or way up. But he seems to be kind

205
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,479
Speaker 1: of getting back into that groove from a home run perspective.

206
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: I think that's four homers in the last like five

207
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: or six games. Are you a buye that Matt Olsen

208
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: is going to have a complete comeback on the back

209
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: half of these two months?

210
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: He's bad in a buck seventy two in July. I

211
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: don't think I'm really a strong buyer unless you're really

212
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: getting a huge discount, and there's a chance that you are.

213
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 3: At this point seventeen homers, two twenty six batting average,

214
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: I think people were expecting probably double the amount of

215
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: home runs with like a two to seventy average at

216
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: this point. So maybe you can get him for essentially nothing,

217
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: But if somebody wants eighty ninety cents on the dollar,

218
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: I don't think he's earned it, especially because the team

219
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: is just not good around him either. It's not like

220
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: Olsen has just been the guy struggling. There's obviously Noah Kunya,

221
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: there's been no Albis now. You know, it's kind of

222
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: just been the Marcelo Zuna show offensively there and it's

223
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: not enough to sustain everybody in that lineup, and Olsen

224
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: has struggled, like last year, one hundred and twenty seven runs,

225
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty nine Ribbies. He's not going to

226
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: crack a hundred of either probably looking at fewer than

227
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: thirty home runs. I don't see a lot here to

228
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: really buy in. I think we kind of maybe we're

229
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 3: a little bit mistaken in buying in off of the

230
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: career year last year. I think I think it was

231
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: a mistake obviously hindsight's twenty twenty. But I'm pretty down

232
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: on Olsen at this point.

233
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he might actually be a decent buy

234
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: if no one is really bought in, But I'm not

235
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: buying him at like, hey, Olsen is going to return

236
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: to last year's run and the homers are completely changing.

237
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: I think there's still like some weird lineup protection stuff.

238
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: He's still just struggling in Jenner twenty percent, strikeout rates

239
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: really bad, his barrels are really really bad so far

240
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: this year, and he's not hitting fastballs. He hit three

241
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: sixteen against fastballs last year thirty right now, So I

242
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: think this is like a this is like a eighty

243
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: cents on the dollar type of thing. And I'm talking

244
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: probably about like not original cost of Olsen and eighty

245
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: percent down, but like take it a couple notches down

246
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: and then by eighty cents on that. If someone's trying

247
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: to get stolen bases. If they're chasing some stolen bases

248
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: or whatnot, I would look in that territory. We had

249
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: some new debuts Jack Flaherty. He's gonna make his first

250
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: start with the team on Saturday and wearing zero, number zero. Grown.

251
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm older, things don't bother me as much, while some

252
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: things bother me still more than ever, Joe, There's always

253
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: been something about numbers with me. I've gotten over I

254
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: actually back in the day when Taywan Walker got traded

255
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: to the Diamondbacks and he wore number ninety nine, I

256
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: was tweeting at him, and he was tweeting back with

257
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: me about like, why are you wearing ninety nine? I

258
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: kind of got over that. I'm not over zero. I

259
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: don't like zero. And the word was, flerty is going

260
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: to wear number zero, which that also is not a number?

261
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Is that an Is that? I mean, it doesn't. I

262
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just not a baseball number. And on

263
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: top of anything, but also number zero is kind of

264
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: redundant a little bit in my brain. But does anything

265
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: like that bother you? Or is that just me? Does

266
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: the number thing bother you? See guy wear like sixty

267
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: four a baseball player, and you're like, don't do that.

268
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 3: I saw the zero thing and I thought it was

269
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: a little bit strange. I just don't feel like there's

270
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 3: a great connotation with the number zero. Like I think

271
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 3: of Russell Westbrook in his later years. I think of like,

272
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: I mean, Gilbert Arenas, all right, good, good early career,

273
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 3: But like, I don't have great memories with the numbers zero,

274
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: And I just think it's like, why are you why

275
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 3: do you want to be zero?

276
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

277
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: Whatever they want to do. Sure it doesn't bother me

278
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: so so much. I'm not gonna be buying the jersey.

279
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that for free. But I don't think it's.

280
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: A big deal.

281
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: What I really don't like is that my Alcy Young

282
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: future on Flarty is now dead.

283
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: That's what I really don't like.

284
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, bye bye bye bye. Definitely that yeah, and

285
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: no all, I mean, are you kidding me? Okay? You

286
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: know what? This is so funny if con case, if

287
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: you think I think that, I was on Sleeper on

288
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: the bus yesterday with Paul Sport and Justin Mason and

289
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: I went off on the same thing. I went off

290
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: on that exact subject. Also really stupid. So like maybe

291
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: I have some like boomery type of like ooh whatever,

292
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: the number thing, but like the facial hair thing is

293
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing of all time. I mean, I think

294
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: it's hilarious seeing Jazz succeed like he is right now too,

295
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: And like Yankees fans are lark should he be wearing

296
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: a color belt or whatever? Like, no, it's a stupid Yankees.

297
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: The Yanks are so stupid with that thing. And I

298
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: just get worked up about number zero. So I'm back.

299
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna go back to disliking Jack Flaherty and

300
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: not believing anything now that he's number zero. So that's

301
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: how I treat fantasy sometimes. Also, Martine Perez is making

302
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: his padre's debut on Saturday against the Rockies. You say

303
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: Kokuchi is gonna make his first start with the Astros

304
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: on Friday against the Rays, So are you gonna buy in?

305
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of negative stuff about Kokuchi. Are

306
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: you a Kakuchi and Houston guy or nay?

307
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: I have been really a big fan of Kakuchi. I

308
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: know that the numbers on the surface are really bad.

309
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 3: I think he's been a little bit unlucky from a

310
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: few different perspectives, Like he's still got a twenty percent

311
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 3: strikeout minus walk right, there's like fifteen guys in all

312
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: of baseball who meet that threshold. He's got like a

313
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: low three Sierra exit. Those numbers are really good. I

314
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: do worry about the home run problem with that short

315
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: Crawford box and left field, that could be something that

316
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: is a bit of a problem. But he's got a

317
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: much better offense behind him now. I think that it's

318
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: generally a positive move for Kakuchi. Still, the Blue Jays

319
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: were awful. Kacuchi had like four wins or something this season.

320
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: That should be something you can project to get better,

321
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: and I think overall we're going to see him start

322
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: to regress a little bit more. One other thing is

323
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 3: the turf in Toronto, the high babbabs for a lot

324
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: of Toronto pitchers. You're not going to see that same

325
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 3: exact numbers like three forty three fifty in Toronto. You've

326
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: seen it with Gosman the last couple of years. That

327
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: turf leads to some kind of unpredictable things. I don't

328
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: think we'll see it to the same degree in Houston.

329
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's he's it in general is like

330
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: a positive. That was actually the kind of crazy thing

331
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: about the trades too. The you just want to check

332
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: that out. It was Bogman myself. It'spor and Justin Mason

333
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: breaking down all the trades and trying not to be

334
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: like a prisoner of the moment, but like it felt

335
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: like every trade, every other trade, or like eight out

336
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: of ten trades, like there were net positives in this

337
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: trade deadline of players moving on, and it's like, oh,

338
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: this destination is good, like even where you know, like

339
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: like maybe Elane Thomas like a lane, the right handed

340
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: ballpark factors in Cleveland they're not like the left. It's

341
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: almost opposite. It's like it's like really bad for right handers,

342
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: really good for left handers. Right now the ballpark factor's gone.

343
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: So you could maybe even like theory look and like

344
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: oh that's maybe a negative, and maybe Cleveland has him

345
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: run a little bit less. But then he's hitting two.

346
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna hit two on that team, and

347
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: it's like Fetti goes to the Cardinals, Kokuchi goes to

348
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: the Astros. Every single player there were just net positives

349
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: almost across the board. There was a couple players that

350
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: weren't really great, but they're just really good positives on

351
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: them moving and what that's going to do with the

352
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: negative with really some of the like main negatives being

353
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: like like estock parades with his games specifically being with

354
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: the Cubs and the poll side that wasn't good, or

355
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: theoretical platoons like Tommy Tommy fam might just nix all

356
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: of that and it might not matter at all, but

357
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: he's probably going in there to be probably more of

358
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: that right side platoon, but he might get some more

359
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: at bats. A lot of those, like veterany outfielders that

360
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: get traded, end up getting put kind of in a

361
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: platoon situation. But just so many net positives, Joe, there

362
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: are so many good ones. Did you have a favorite?

363
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: Did you have a favorite positive trade like that you

364
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: thought impacted the value the most.

365
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: Flairty's definitely up there, Jazz is definitely up there as well.

366
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: Like going to such a better hitting environment. The Marlins

367
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: offense has just been disgustingly bad. Now he gets to

368
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: hit probably I think they've had him batting fifth but

369
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 3: right around Judge and Soto, much better RBI opportun tunity.

370
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: He's also going to get third base. Eligibility, and on

371
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: some platforms he might have Jazz next year second third

372
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: outfield potentially, Like maybe second will be a little bit tricky.

373
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: I think it depends on where you're playing.

374
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: But that is just a huge boost for his current

375
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: day and future value. But Jack Flaherty is another guy

376
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: who's been so brilliant this year.

377
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: Like I've been a huge fan of his. Wins have

378
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: been hard.

379
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 3: To come by in Detroit, you know, in Los Angeles

380
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 3: they've been a little bit hard to come by as well.

381
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: If you look at Tyler Glass now, just the other night,

382
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: seven strong innings, the bullpen blew the.

383
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 2: Leaf for him in the back end of the Dodgers pen.

384
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 3: Might make that a little bit trickier now to secure wins,

385
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: But big positive for Flarity, big positive for Jazz. Those

386
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: are probably the two biggest ones for me.

387
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: So interesting too that the two teams in that division

388
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: that weren't the Dodgers prioritize themselves off of getting relief pitching,

389
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: while the Dodgers that wasn't really their game plan. Obviously

390
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: getting the guy like Flarity and utility offensive and defensive players,

391
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: but nothing on the bullpen side where the Diamondbacks go

392
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: and get Puck and Floro and then obviously the Padres

393
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: Trade an entire organization to get two relief pitchers, so

394
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. Hey, we'll do something a little bit different.

395
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: We haven't done a little bit. Let's answer some questions

396
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: from the Peanuts and Crackerjacks. Sometimes we try to get

397
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: to you guys, but I've been marking down some of

398
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: your questions. So we'll do a little bit of rapid

399
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: fire seeing what you guys have got for us today.

400
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: Are m I'm guess Garcia drop Glaber Torres for Jackson Holliday. Yeah,

401
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: your name, I.

402
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 3: Would do that. Yeah, Glaber's been brutal. I know he's

403
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: been a bit better recently, but I don't trust him.

404
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: I don't trust the way that the Yankees I don't know.

405
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: I don't trust his messaging either, like he's been very

406
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: negative publicly. I don't I think the Yankees are getting

407
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: to the point where they're kind of done with him,

408
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 3: whether he starts losing playing time, and on top of that,

409
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 3: he's just been pretty bad as well. So I'll take holiday.

410
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: I'll take the upside there pretty much every day.

411
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, same seas. I'm kind of done with Glaber, right now,

412
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't think the story of Glaber is done. I

413
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: don't think that, like you know Joe's catchphrase here, I

414
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: don't think we're done with Glaber long term. I just

415
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be a Yankee this sear. I

416
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: think like next year he's going to get traded off.

417
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: And we've seen brilliance from him before. We just got

418
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: to get back to that CASEY said, just got offered

419
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: Gilbert from my Yamamoto in a dynasty league. Except I

420
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: will tell you I think Joe would instantly accept this.

421
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit indifferent. I lean Yamamoto in dynasty,

422
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: so I would rather him. But I will say, if

423
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: you are in a heavy, heavy competitive side to this

424
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: and you need those innings, you need those starts right now,

425
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: they're close enough that maybe you could justify it. But

426
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: I would say I would rather Yamamoto, like in a vacuum.

427
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: What say you?

428
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: I think it's really close, so you're definitely more of

429
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: the dynasty guy between us. I think it's probably really close.

430
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: Gilbert has great skills, the great ballpark. I think it's

431
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: probably a coin flip, which I know doesn't really help much.

432
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: I would probably lean towards Yamamoto, but I think it's

433
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: essentially even.

434
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Lisa, this was at the beginning of the chat

435
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: when people are getting in, So can we have an

436
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: a dull conversation, how Mark Binto should be a top

437
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: ten third baseman going into next season? We could sixteen

438
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: homers to eighty six batting average, a beautiful, beautiful red

439
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: levant page of expected from wOBA to slugging to batting average,

440
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: forty five percent hard hit rate, an elite seventeen percent

441
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: barrel rate, which he has maintained and grown through the year,

442
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: which I think is so key, especially if you're a

443
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: good hard hit guy, and then you can barrel the

444
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: ball those are That is just the beginning mixture of

445
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: something amazing, and then you can start sprinkling in the

446
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: other pieces of hitter, the hitter soup that's going to

447
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: be made. And for him, it's just a lot of

448
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: the great stuff. It's like a double digit degree launch angle,

449
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: which is really solid, great max EV numbers as well,

450
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: and wildly, this is one of the weirdest things is

451
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: right now. I guess it's just flipped. He's been This

452
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: is still weird. He is seeing way more breaking balls

453
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: we don't usually see rookies. Our young players have a

454
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: mix where they're seeing more breaking balls than fastballs early on.

455
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: It's usually like a if you're using the savant designations

456
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: of like breaking fastball off speed, you'll see like a

457
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: fifty six fifty four to fifty six percent fastball, then

458
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: breaking and then off speed. He is seeing more breaking,

459
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: So there's a book out on him, and he's hitting

460
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: sub two hundred against, but he's absolutely murdering everything else.

461
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: So I think there's a great recipe in there for

462
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: a huge dynasty buy and he might be. I'd have

463
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: to look at my ranks. I was just playing around

464
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: with him, but they're arrested this season. I actually think

465
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: he does. He's gonna vie for the top twelve starting

466
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: third basement. If he finishes out this year, how he

467
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: has it probably will be unanimous top ten third baseman.

468
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: What do you think?

469
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really buy that he's going to be

470
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: a two eighty six hitter. I think he's probably more

471
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: in like the two fifty two to sixty range, but

472
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: he's probably got thirty home run bat in that lineup,

473
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 3: assuming you know, we still have Pete Alonzo next year.

474
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: And I mean there's no massive changes.

475
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: He could be a close to one hundred RBI guy

476
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: and he's still like, forget about next year.

477
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: This season, he's only on sixty percent of rosters.

478
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: People haven't really bought in so much first base, third base, eligibia, unware,

479
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: espa who.

480
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: Which I mean.

481
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: I know it's not perfect, but I still see, like,

482
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 3: if I look every day, part of my own podcast

483
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 3: is looking at like the top ads and drops. Jackson

484
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 3: Holiday was added eleven thou times today, so it's not

485
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: like people are just not playing anymore. Yeah, I don't

486
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 3: understand why a guy like Viento's doing what he's doing.

487
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: Dual eligibility on a hot team is still out there

488
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 3: in almost half of league's I.

489
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: Got a great question, I'm so excited. People can see

490
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: it on my face if he say, like, whenever I

491
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: get like a really good question I'm excited about, I'm

492
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna start smiling, And all I want to do is

493
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: ask the question rest of season, Mark Viento's or Matt Olsen.

494
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: Can you imagine asking that in March and getting left

495
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 2: out of the room.

496
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: Can you imagine this like the vitriol that you would

497
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: get across the board, Mark Vientos or Matt Olsen. Also,

498
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: I want to see the chat. I want to see

499
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: you guys talk about Matt Olsen or Mark Vento's rest

500
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: of season.

501
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 3: I think i'd still have to go Olsen, but man,

502
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: it's really close. I'd have to think. I have to

503
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: really think about it. Like I could see the argument

504
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: for Viento's if you're in need a third base. Third

505
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: base has been pretty bad and Viento's has been better.

506
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 3: So it's not like it would be crazy to take him.

507
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: We've only got seven eight weeks left. There's not a

508
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: lot of time for Olsen to turn it around, so

509
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: I don't think it would be crazy to say Viento's.

510
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 3: But I would still have to default to Olsen here.

511
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 3: He had fifty four, he was the number two overall

512
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: player last season.

513
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: That's not in the outcomes for Viento's.

514
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 3: Olsen could go as the number one player next month,

515
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 3: and while it would be surprising he's done it before,

516
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 3: Vento's still hasn't reached those heights just yet.

517
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and everybody like JP Olsen, there's all the Olsen's

518
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: in there, but I feel like it's close. I mean,

519
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: I would also take Olsen by the way, but like

520
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: I think that's the level and that's the plane that

521
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: Venta's is getting into. So that's fun. Yeah, and then

522
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: we'll do quick burns on these last two d What

523
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: to do with Sean Sean Murphy twelve team head to

524
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: head points.

525
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 3: One hold or if it's a two catcher league, then

526
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 3: I'd hold on. If it's a one catcher league, then

527
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 3: you can you can churn and burn there. There's probably

528
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: a better option, or at least the serviceable option there

529
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: that you can stream in week to week. It's been

530
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: a bad year for him, but two catcher leagues, you

531
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: don't really have a choice but to hold on.

532
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: LEAs me is see while the out of the job.

533
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, Tory Lavello has been such a

534
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: staunch pain in the ass about this the entire year.

535
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: Every time someone asks him, he dismisses it. Everybody in

536
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: the locker room wants Seawald, Everyone wants this and that,

537
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: and it's like do they does everybody still want him

538
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: one hundred percent? When he's blowing games left and right.

539
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he will be out, So you're safe

540
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: if you still hold him. But I do think that

541
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: they may explore some other options inside. They had Ryan

542
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Thompson come in for one of those. I think

543
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: Ginkle is one of those guys. I feel like this

544
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: question is directed at AJ Puck. No, I do not

545
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: think AJ Puck is going to get saves early on.

546
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: I think they will go with Ginkle or Ryan Thompson,

547
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: and I do think there's a chance that they move

548
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: between those guys. I think now it's the time where

549
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: maybe he stops holding on. But he is so pro

550
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: Paul Paul Seawald. Would you wouldn't believe it? It's really

551
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: incredible and he stinks right now, three up and three down.

552
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: We got da da da da da da da. Oh No,

553
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: I missed the just for fun of rookie lookies. I

554
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: don't want to just get past this good stuff. Brenton

555
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: Doyle in the Just for Fun one for four solo

556
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: Homer And by the way, remember when he got pulled

557
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: on the trade deadline and everyone was like, oh my god,

558
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: is it going to get traded. He's been ridiculous so far.

559
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: Eleven Homers with a three thirty three slash in July,

560
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: one of the most unheralded seasons so far. And like

561
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: Eric said, this is interesting Robert or Doyle long term,

562
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: I am going to say Robert, but it is a

563
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: way close. Like I think I have been the most

564
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: disrespectful to Brenton Doyle this year of any single player.

565
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: I just have not given him his due, like I

566
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: think we all have that. Sometimes we have a guy

567
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jeff, you can think of the guy

568
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: that you just didn't give him his proper due all

569
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: season long. I pretty confident mind was Brenton Doyle.

570
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: Rono Blanco. For me, I've just been calling on his

571
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: downfall the whole year.

572
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: Now he's kind of struggling a little bit, but like

573
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 3: every week I was writing him as a cell, cell cell,

574
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: and every week it was seven innings, two hits, six strikeouts,

575
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 3: and I was like Jesus every time out, Now to

576
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 3: crumble a little bit. But yeah, I got the mansions

577
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 3: were flooded whenever I'd mentioned Renal Blanco because I missed

578
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 3: badly on that one. No no problem admitting I missed badly.

579
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that happens. We all have those in the

580
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: rookie Lookie Jackson Scherio two for five with a runs

581
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: scored on Wednesday as a Brewers loss, but he has

582
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: been good. Drew Thorpe, he got throttled six runs over

583
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: five innings and losing to the Royals. I just didn't

584
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: see him getting wax like that. And Max Meyer is

585
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: going to be starting today against the Braves. So Max

586
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: Meyer back in business. Be good to see him. Maybe

587
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: not the best matchup though on the three up and

588
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: three down the actual three up and three down now.

589
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez on the three up, two runs, seven strikeouts

590
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: over six innings as they beat the Mets. Been a

591
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: good bye in the second half, not like solely, but

592
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: he's been pretty good. Freddie Perulta bounced back, struck out seven,

593
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: allowed two runs over six in the no decision against

594
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: the Braves, and Zach Gallon allowed one run and six

595
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: strikeouts over six innings as the Diamondbacks continue their winning

596
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: ways and beat the Nationals. On the down, Chris Sanchez

597
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: lit up six runs over five and two thirds and

598
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: a lost to the Yankees. Nicolodolo dude eight runs, eleven hits.

599
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: The Nickolodolo thing has not worked out? Is that like

600
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: as fun as it's been this year, Nicolodolo is a

601
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: bit of a problem and is I think he's at

602
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: best streamable right now, where he seemed like a lock

603
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: to keep going. I'm just I'm I mean, this is

604
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: a tough matchup and everything like that, but I don't

605
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: think I'm trustworthy on Nickolodola rest a season.

606
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 4: Are you.

607
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: I think the talent's a lot better than what we've

608
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: seen recently, but it's just so hard to trust Cincinnati

609
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: pitchers in shallow for mats that ballpark, and no, to

610
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 3: his credit, the home run problem is not really such

611
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: a home run problem. But I think i'd agree if

612
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: you're in a really shallow league, he's probably more streamable.

613
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: But he's the type of guy I know as soon

614
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: as I drop him, we're gonna fire off three gems

615
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 3: in a row because the skills are still there.

616
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: But it's been it's been pretty rough.

617
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love I mean, I love his sweeper and

618
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: like someone just said, like get him in a new place,

619
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: love to see him get moved. I just don't think

620
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: the Reds want to, By the way, at least that

621
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: almost needed a puppet. I think I clicked on something

622
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: and my computer was like wanh wa wah, So Joe,

623
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: just letting you know. In the future, you may need

624
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: to get like a Welsh ready, you know, and just

625
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: have like poofy hair and just be like, hey, frindoze

626
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: like however, you just make fun of me, Like, just

627
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: get ready to make fun of me. On the injury front,

628
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole reported no issues throwing on Wednesday. Likely to

629
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: start against the Blue Jays this weekend, getting a little

630
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: spell there. Mookie Bett's been clear to start some batting practice.

631
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: We'd like to get him in games immediately. Walker Buehler

632
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: make another rehab assignment in TRIPAA on Thursday, so that

633
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: could line up to him starting early next week, which

634
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: would just really be good for everybody. Luis and Grifo

635
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: was removed from Wednesday nights game against the Rockies in

636
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: the eighth inning due to a wrist injury, and I

637
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: think it already might be like il stent. Joe Musgrove

638
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: is scheduled to make his first rehab Minor League start

639
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday, so maybe mid ish August, late ish August

640
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: will end up seeing him. That would be great for

641
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: the Padres. Starling Marte is going to be starting up

642
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: a rehab assignment next week. X rays on Brandon Neimo's

643
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: foot came back negative and Justin Verlander faced live hitters

644
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: at Mini Made Park on Tuesday, hopefully getting him back

645
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: here in the very near future as well. Friends, that

646
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,920

Speaker 1: Fifty do it today. If I can speak, the betty

658
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: market horrible yesterday I actually went and I'm gonna be

659
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 1: placing a little bit one of my top bets here

660
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: is a betting pros prop cheat sheet play that I

661
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: really like. So I'm going to lean on that a

662
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: little bit right now. But Joe, what do you got

663
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: for the day for the best bets of the day.

664
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: I've got three bets, of course, and we're going to

665
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: target Trevor Rodgers in his debut. I don't think Rodgers

666
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: is very good. I don't think I'm in the minority

667
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 3: on that opinion. He's been pretty awful, and you're getting

668
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 3: over two and a half runs at plus money. I

669
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 3: don't see Trevor Rodgers coming out of this one allowing

670
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: fewer than to earned runs against a very good offense

671
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 3: in Cleveland. So is this one was a pretty easy one.

672
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: I'm kind of surprised there was plus money, Like the

673
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: books respecting Rogers in any way, was a little bit

674
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: of surprise. So that one for me is the first

675
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 3: one cater Montero for the Tigers. I'm taking under three

676
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: and a half strikeouts. He's facing a Kansas City team

677
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 3: that doesn't strike out eighteen percent. Strikeout rate is the

678
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: second best in all of baseball. He's been really struggling

679
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: as of late. I don't know that we're gonna see

680
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 3: him even get the five innings, but the strikeout rate,

681
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 3: even if he does, it's gonna be pretty tricky for

682
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: him to get the four k's against Kansas City. So

683
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: you're also getting that one at plus one fifteen. And

684
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: then we're targeting a total over a Los Angeles and Colorado.

685
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 3: You know Feldner and Fulmer here, I just don't see

686
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 3: them keeping this game under nine runs total. We're talking

687
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: about really, especially Ryan Fell, especially both of them. Really

688
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: they're both pretty bad. I know Fulmer on the surface

689
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 3: as a three seventy seven era, but it's really bad

690
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: if you start to dig and you look at the

691
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: underlying numbers for him. So between these two guys, I

692
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 3: don't see them and the respective pens keeping this total

693
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 3: under nine, all of them at plus money that one's

694
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: plus one hundred and all of them at bet three

695
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: six five.

696
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: Interesting one about Cainder Montero that is actually one of

697
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: the top cheat sheet over prop K numbers for the day,

698
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: so to be very interesting to see. This is a

699
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: you versus the prop projection cheat sheet for the strikeouts

700
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: and how the Montero one works out. I couldn't go

701
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: either side of it. I like where you're going with it,

702
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: and I think it makes sense to me. This feels

703
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: like a two strikeout or a six strikeout game. It's

704
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: going to go one way or the other. I am

705
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: like I said, I went over to the prop cheat sheet,

706
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: which you can do. Go over to bettingpros dot com,

707
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: download the app and you can check out and they've

708
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: got all their top plays. It is great because you

709
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: can filter it and organize it in different ways by

710
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: top probability, top EV and you can just go to

711
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: different markets because usually it'll throw out, you know, maybe

712
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: like here's a run prop and blah blah blah. I

713
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: like to go in sort by total base and strikeouts.

714
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: Those are really the two markets that I kind of

715
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: hyper focus on. So the total base one Anthony Santander

716
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: that is a plus money play. He has hit eight

717
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: of fifteen games, so essentially a fifty over fifty percent

718
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: marker where he has gone over the total bases. So

719
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: I am taking Anthony Santante total bases over one and

720
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: a half today. That is plus money. And I'm going

721
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: to jump in on a couple nerfees and we're gonna

722
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: ride them. One of them is a higher a higher

723
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: juice number Chicago and Saint Louis. That is Sunny Gray,

724
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: Ima Naga. It is definitely more juiced up. But we're

725
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: going to play at the two good starting pitchers. And

726
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: then you've got Atlanta and Miami on the no run

727
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: first inning. Max Meyer in there, I think kind of

728
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: helps this situation. On top of Charlie Morton, that one

729
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: minus one thirty so two nerfe's and a total base prop.

730
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: You guys want to check out more, you can go

731
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: to bettingpros dot com. You can check out all the

732
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: other plays that they've got for you and friendos. Those

733
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: are the best bets of the day for Thursday. Look

734
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: at that bad transition there, all right, home runs, Let's

735
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: check out the home run board because I do have

736
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: a new updated home run board. Ladies and gentlemen, you

737
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: have a chance to do the funniest thing of all time.

738
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: You have a chance because Joe will be here tomorrow,

739
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: Joe piece of Pia to knock Joe off the board

740
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: his last day on the show for the season, which

741
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: single handedly will be the funniest thing that can happen.

742
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: He is just hanging on the tippy bottom of the board.

743
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: We need some people to jump up. It's a small

744
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: slate today, though Walkee does have twenty nine still on

745
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: the board at seventeen. Elscal's got the lead at thirty seven,

746
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: a two home run lead over Beatrotz and Silent Dragon

747
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: at thirty five. Larry Larry's at four with thirty four.

748
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: People doing great. Everybody but me is doing really great,

749
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: So Joe Rico, Whe're you gonna go with your home

750
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: run call today?

751
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 3: I'm going with Jorge Celaire and his home debut quote

752
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 3: unquote debut at Truest Park against Max Meyer, who has

753
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 3: struggled with allow on some home runs throughout his career. Really,

754
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 3: I mean it's like a one two homer per nine,

755
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: which isn't crazy, but Solaire really has been better as

756
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 3: of late. That power is undeniable, and I think that

757
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 3: he's the guy that I'm gonna go with. I wouldn't

758
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: mind going with any member of the Braves really the

759
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: top of that order Ozuna as well, but I'm gonna

760
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: go with Hojorge Soilaire here making a splash in his

761
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 3: return to Atlanta.

762
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I like the leading off thing too. I

763
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: like him him not you know, no pun intended. Like

764
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: I said, the name like the leading off of for

765
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves. I'm gonna go with Anthony Santander. I'm

766
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,680
