1
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. It's time to

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: talk some trades. It's me Joey p Joe piz Up.

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Here with me, of course, is the Welsh, and we're

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: gonna look at some players we want to buy and

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: sell this week in Major League Baseball for fantasy purposes.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: And let's start with a big name, Corey Seeger, who

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: really has not returned his draft stock this year. Let's

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: be honest, but there's still a lot of season left.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: He's hitting just about two thirty on the year, with

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: only six homers and about forty games played, but recently

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: starting to pick things up a little bit, hitting two

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: eighty six over his last six games. He's got a

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: home run in that span, looking a little bit more

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: like Corey Seeger. So Welsh. It's always frustrating with Corey

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: Seeger because you have the annual injuries to deal with.

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: The hope is one of those injury il stince is

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: behind you and maybe there's more good baseball in front

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: of you. I'm looking to buy Corey Seeger for this

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: stretch run of MLB. How about you?

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on this one. Corey Seeger hitting

21
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: only two thirty eight on the season, so that's gonna

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: hold down the value. In general. He had you know,

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: decent start to the year, hitting over three hundred and April,

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: hit two eighty in May before missing some time or

25
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: maybe that was in the April May switch, but Juny struggled.

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: He's hit only one hundred so far. But really the

27
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: main thing outside of like you know, historical data with

28
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: him is a lot of the data looks great. It

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: looks fantastic. He's got one of the highest walk race

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: he's out of his career, barrel percentage over fourteen, big

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: average ex velocity almost ninety three, and an expected batting

32
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: average of two ninety three. That's one of the biggest

33
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: jumps in baseball right now. So the profile of who

34
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: he is is still there. He's just has not performed

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: at that level. He's struck, He's had injuries and struggled

36
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: over this early June month here. So I'm a full

37
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: buy on Corey Seeker just because we know, you know,

38
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: he's going to put up that thirty type based home

39
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: run season. So I love the idea buying low because

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: I also think there's some frustration has been all season

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 2: long with the Rangers, but specifically with him right now.

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And I don't think he's going

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: where either that he is sticking in that environment too.

44
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: But at the same time, certainly, again, I think people

45
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: with this time of year ago, you know what, what

46
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: am I getting out of this player? What am I not?

47
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: I put a lot of draft cap on the Corey

48
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: secret hasn't been returned, and I think that's something you

49
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: can pray on if you are a very smart fantasy

50
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: baseball manager. The Cardinals have come crashing down to Earth,

51
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: losing seven or their last ten games as of recording this,

52
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: and Sunny Gray could potentially be a piece on the block.

53
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cardinals are realistically a playoff team

54
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: this year. I never did. Sunny Gray, on the other hand,

55
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: could be someone that could help not only your fantasy rotation,

56
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: but a lot of contenders. He still got a k

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: per nine over nine and a half the walk percentage

58
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: to the walk rate one point six' nine walks per

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: nine very. Good HIS era is a little high three eight,

60
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: four and if you look at the EXPECTED era it's

61
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: right around. There, however THE fip and the X fip

62
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: are both closer to three three point two one to

63
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: three zero. FOUR i think this is a really unique

64
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: time to buy On Sunny, gray a veteran pitcher who

65
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: could help a lot of, rotations including your fantasy one.

66
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: THREE a FOUR era last, year three eight FOUR era this.

67
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: Year he had a three SIX era In, march a

68
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: three SIX era In, april a three seven one In,

69
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: may and over five this. Month so it's kind of

70
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: falling apart in this. Month but whether it's just like

71
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: month to month data or historical, data like you kind

72
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: of know what you get out Of Sunny, gray and

73
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: to put into percentages four point six percent walk, grate

74
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: it's the lowest of his career that he's ever. HAD

75
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: i EXPECTED era is like a little bit higher than

76
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: where it. Is it's at. Four he's also gotten expected

77
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: batting average that you, know he's giving up a little

78
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: bit more barrels and expected batting average and you want

79
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: that expected batting average is telling us, like, oh there

80
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: might be a little bit more contact in. Still but

81
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: he's also switched his pitch mix a little bit where

82
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: he's throwing more sinkers this year than four seen, fastballs

83
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: and you're going to probably throw that sinker a little

84
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: bit more to, contact BUT.

85
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: I agree with.

86
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: You you, know k percentage is still. Good he's not,

87
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: walking and if he's going to go to a, CONTENDER

88
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: i think that's all gonna but help his. Value and

89
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: if somebody is looking at this short stint of like

90
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: a five era In, june the short sample size isn't

91
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: like quite telling the full. Story like you, know you're

92
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: gonna get like a three six to three eight. Era

93
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: and if he's on a new, team he might get

94
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: more run support and. WINS i like the idea of

95
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: trading For Sunny.

96
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: Gray another pitcher who could be on the move for

97
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh pirates Is Mitch. Keller and you might, say

98
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: why DO i Want Mitch. Keller he's one to nine this. Year,

99
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: well that's because The pirates are, horrific especially in terms of.

100
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Offense and if you dig a little, deeper you See

101
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: Mitch keller is actually tied for the league lead in quality.

102
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Starts here are the other names that are up, there

103
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: just to give you some. Reference Where Mitch keller Is Logan,

104
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: Webb Hunter, Brown Zach, Wheeler Paul, Skeins Max, Freed Spencer,

105
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: schwaanenbach And Mitch keller all have eleven quality, Starts they're

106
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: all tied for the major league. Lead he's got a FOUR.

107
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: Era Mitch keller's got a decent strikeout to walk. Ratio to,

108
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: me that's another veteran starter that could help a ton

109
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: of contending. Teams and if he ends up in a

110
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: better spot for win equity and continues to throw qualit

111
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: start after quality, start well those qys is are going

112
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: to turn to w's in that column and help you a.

113
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: Ton SO i love trying to go out there and

114
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: Acquire Mitch keller with that one to nine, record buy

115
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: him off that and hope that he gets dealt in

116
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: the next four or five.

117
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: Weeks, also seven of his last starts he has put

118
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: up a quality start and he has one win on

119
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: this Easy so, YEAH i mean he's not like an ace.

120
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: Ace BUT i think there's legitimately maybe a, conversation you,

121
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: know who would be the better, Guy Sonny gray Or

122
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: Mitch keller being traded to like a winning. Team there's

123
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: more strike up attentional With Sonny. Gray BUT i mean

124
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: if the four seam sweeper combination That Mitch keller has

125
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: thrown out has led to like pretty low batting averages

126
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: that sweeper specifically has looked. Good the walk rate is

127
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: still nice and. Low hiss expected era is at three to.

128
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: Nine that is, Lower and really the biggest thing we

129
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: keep telling you about is like he's putting up quality.

130
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: Starts he has a team that has absolutely no win.

131
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: Support much much better chance That Mitch keller's going to

132
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: be moved Over Sonny gray at this point because The

133
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: pirates they've got. It they've got to be selling off

134
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: pieces and there's not much in the market that is

135
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: like easily. Available The pirates would be one of those

136
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 2: teams if someone is aggressive enough so put those quality

137
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: starts on any other, team those things are going to

138
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: turn into. Wins so it's a really good time to

139
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: buy him before he's, traded because once he's, traded it's

140
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: no Longer Mitch, keller lowly Little. Pirates if he's traded

141
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: to A Red sox or A dodgers or something like,

142
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: that you give me quality starts At Mitch. Kelly with

143
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: The dodgers in that, offense you might turn seven of

144
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: eight quality starts into. Wins seven out of eight wins for.

145
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: Him SO i, love, love love love, this buy all, right.

160
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: Playbook all, right let's get To Marcel, ozuna who has

161
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: had a pretty good, season but we know he's been

162
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: dealing with that issue with the, hip and now all

163
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: of a, sudden after a couple weeks of us making

164
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: some light humor on leading off about, oh, well you,

165
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: Know Marcel azuna doesn't seem to be affecting. Him, well

166
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: it feels like it's starting to affect him a little

167
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: bit at least at the, plate because you're looking at

168
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: him right now as THAT dh and you know he's

169
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: not driving in runs the way he. Was if you

170
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: look at the overall stats eleven homers for, him two

171
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: fifty batting, average but hitting under two hundred in the

172
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, here things really have hit a.

173
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: Skid so maybe it's just a cold, streak maybe it's

174
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: that hit bothering. Him either, way there's enough fear for

175
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: me in the marketplace right now when it comes To

176
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: Ozuno welsh THAT i THINK i want to shop him

177
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: around just in. Case AND i elstint could be lingering

178
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: at some point where he gets shut, down maybe Through

179
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: july in The All star, break given that extra, week

180
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: because if you see something like that pop, up it

181
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: could really hurt you in the. STANDINGS i think now

182
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: might be the time to pounce on a move to

183
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: move on From ozune and look for somebody else in.

184
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: Return so an interesting thing about this is, like in

185
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 2: the same token of what we talked about With Sunny,

186
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: gray we're, like, look you, know three era three era

187
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: three era then it's five and we're giving him the

188
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: benefit of the. Doubt you could argue be, like, well,

189
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: Guys Marcel zunna hit three hundred And, april he hit

190
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: two seventy seven In, may and he's hitting a buck

191
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: fifty seven In. June why not the same benefit of the.

192
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: Doubt one of the biggest pieces to that is the.

193
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: INJURY i think that's the thing that carries. Me if

194
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: there wasn't this like hip, THING i might be, like,

195
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: yeah this is just something that weirdly stands, out but

196
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: that has me. Concerned i'll also say This april eighteen

197
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: walks to seventeen, Strikeouts may twenty two walks to twenty eight.

198
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: Strikeouts those are good numbers in. General In june he

199
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: said fifteen strikeouts and fifty one at bats with only four.

200
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: Walks so you, know, again this could just be part

201
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: of like the weirdness it's going, on but something does

202
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: seem to be. Off he has been pretty predominantly destroying

203
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: fastballs while breaking an offspeed hasn't been. There, LIKE i

204
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: think he's still really, good but if there's some type

205
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: of even value out there that someone thinks of maybe,

206
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: buying like a tiny bit low on A marcelo's AND

207
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: i Think i'm with, YOU i might potentially consider consolidating

208
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: and moving off of, it just because that type of

209
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: injuries with the batter like, this it just has me

210
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: worried that maybe we're already seeing some of the lingering

211
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: signs and it just might be something you don't want

212
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: to be a part of the rest of the. Season

213
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: So i'm not selling off just to sell, off and you,

214
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 2: KNOW i got to get out, quickly BUT i THINK

215
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: i am listening to it Because i'm worried that that

216
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: is what's showing up on, papers some of.

217
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: That, injury and if he starts with his, time then

218
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: you're really up against. It, so LIKE i, said now's

219
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: the time where you probably want to start to look

220
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: to make that. Move two raise pictures we've got on

221
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: our list today. Too don't. Worry it's Not, pepio it's Not.

222
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: Baz it's Actually Drew rasmisen to start with, here one

223
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: of the, two and he's been brilliant this, year SO

224
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: i don't want to take anything away from what he's,

225
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: done but it has been. Surprising and the next guy

226
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: we're been talking about also been. Surprising Zach. Lettel, Now

227
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: lettel is a player that you, KNOW i don't think

228
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: a lot of us were really in. On he was

229
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: out of options going into this, year so we, thought all,

230
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: Right Zack letel is probably gonst taking this rotation for

231
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: at least the time. Being and he's been pretty good

232
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: when you look at, it except the strikeout rate hasn't been. Terrific,

233
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: uh it is much lower than where you want it

234
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: to be for a fantasy. Starter it's had at six

235
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: k per. Nine, now the secret sauces he'sn't walking. Anybody

236
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: that's been, good but the underlying metrics are a little.

237
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: Scary the three eight FOUR, era the, lives the fact

238
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: he's got a four to six to two EXPECTED, era

239
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: a five point four ZERO fip and a four to

240
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: one five X. Fip and then when you were digging

241
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: Into rasmusen you found some stats that were a little

242
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: concerning on him as. Well.

243
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: Well Since may, FIRST i Mean, rasmussen he gets his,

244
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 2: wins you, know five wins in that, time like he's

245
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: getting it done at two four to NINE, era but

246
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 2: in that time he had a three five to five

247
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: X fip and that's actually pretty representative of his season

248
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: long where he's got a two five to FIVE vr

249
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: and three five four EXPECTED. Era now you could say

250
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: like he's just a guy that's always going to beat

251
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: the expected. Numbers that's a. Possibility but the two things

252
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: that stand, out like the strikeouts are so. Low he

253
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: had a six point six k per nine Since may,

254
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: first and he has about a twenty two PERCENT k percentage.

255
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: Overall those don't quite add, up especially as a recent

256
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 2: and he had an eighty nine percent left on base,

257
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: percentage which that is not going to be. Sustainable like

258
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: anytime you see, nineties is a little bit more. Worrisome

259
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 2: but that kind of speaks a little bit that you're

260
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: leaving runners on way more than you probably, should and

261
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: that speaks to some of those expected. Numbers Ras musen is,

262
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: great he's been. Good you, know he's been getting a

263
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: bunch of, innings but the low, strikeouts expected numbers being

264
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: a full run. HIGHER i think What i'm staring at

265
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: here Is i'm trying to sell people on a two

266
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: and a HALF ra guy through fourteen starts so far

267
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: in the, year And i'm trying to sell those stats

268
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 2: to maybe get out from under just BECAUSE i think

269
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: we are going to have some regression coming in for Ras,

270
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: musen AND i Agree, LETTEL i think is another. DEGREE

271
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: i Think littel is LIKE i am trying to sell

272
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: him as a serviceable starter in getting out BECAUSE i

273
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: THINK i think we're going to crash into more of

274
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: that four and a half expected dra in the near,

275
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: future and there's just very LITTLE i, mean we talked

276
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 2: About Brian wu in the you, Know lolo walks with

277
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: like strikeouts like these strikeouts are dramatically. Lower and The

278
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: rays have got some very interesting minor league. Pitchers you,

279
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: know they put i In seymour into the. Bullpen they've

280
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: Got Joe boyle who's kind of looming in the minor.

281
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: Leagues if he starts to kind of fall. Apart lettel's

282
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: the type of guy that maybe maybe could be taken

283
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: out of a. Rotation Ras musen. Won't BUT i just

284
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: think Ras musen's gonna have some. Regressions So rasmussen is

285
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: a sell. High lttel is just kind of a.
