Inn other place I guess to talk 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.280 baseball apparently is something called Threads, which I really didn't 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.040 know about until. 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.200 The last couple of days. Maybe it's because I'm old. 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.400 I don't know. Well I went ahead and. 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.360 I joined the Threads and I saw you already on there, 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.919 so I guess you are still the youthful movement of 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:38.800 this program. 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.040 Well, first off, I am just a blind sheep. I 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.519 sheeply just was like, oh, I gotta do the thing 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:46.720 because everyone's doing the thing. 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:47.600 Wow, that's what you do. 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.000 But I will tell you Threads just started today, so 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.880 you're not like old Duddy whatever. There was an early access. 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:57.800 All it is. 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:02.160 This is for the crew of people that are daily 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.399 waiting for Twitter to implode because of new rules and 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.600 people get all the the this. I don't care. It's 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.360 not going anywhere. Blah blah blah. There is a new platform. 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.960 All it is is Facebook's Twitter culer if it is. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.320 But the most important thing is to follow us both 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:20.440 on threads. 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.319 Yeah, I'm I'm at Fantasy Black Book. That's my handle 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.720 because it just pulled my Instagram Instagram. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.840 Yeah, mine is that I have to own. I have 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:28.759 to own that everywhere. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.120 Like uh, it's like I call it fitter. It's like 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.160 Facebook and Twitter had a baby. It's it's fitter. 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.640 That's because it's face well in Instagram. It's their new platform. 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.960 Fits fits the gram fits the Graham, fits the gram M. 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.280 It's kind of like all those things combined. That's kind 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.000 of what it's a little bit Insta book, you know 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.360 what it is. It's whatever your parents tell you that 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.200 they signed up for. Whatever that facelis is the name 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.680 or social media. I'm on the Insta book. You gotta 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.240 you gotta find me on the Insta face the face. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:59.400 I don't know if I'll ever I don't know if 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.240 we'll ever be on it, but you should just all 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.640 go follow us because that's the new thing. Don't ask questions, 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.440 just give up all your personal information to whatever company 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:08.280 and just well they have. 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.760 It anyway, So what's the difference, I feel like. But 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.040 I kind of feel like with all these things there, 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.360 there's little for every ten of them that are like 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.680 there and gone, there's one that becomes a big deal. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.320 Well, so you know, I want to have more followers 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.440 than everybody else on their first I want to be 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.040 first to market on something. For a change. 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.600 We're both first to market on this one, I'll tell you. 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.560 But every again, this is it's just so crazy, like 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.239 anything happens on Twitter and everyone like Brolly's up. They're like, ohka, 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.600 goshforms that we're on, We're on this one. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.200 We're on this political one that only the people who 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.200 had iPhones could do. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.040 And I was like, this is dumb. I remember that. 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.079 It was like it was like an interactive platform. You 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:49.919 can get on there and talk and all that stuff. 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.160 I remember that thing. I don't know what people people 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.280 remember years ago and I was like, you had to 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.000 be invitation, you'd be super cool to deal. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:57.919 I was like, I'm not doing this. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.360 This is dumb. I have Android anyway you can go 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.200 screw and you know what, it's gone now. I can't 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:02.960 remember what it was. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.600 I don't even know. Somebody in the chat probably remembers what, 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.400 but you know, we're there. Threads. 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.040 The only problem is that sounds like one of these 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:10.880 clothing companies where it's like, do. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.079 You like CUSTOMMND shirts, then you're gonna love Threads where. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.000 It actually sounds like some it would be a sponsor, right, 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.239 So yeah, pretty good. I mean they really still But 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.400 the most important thing is go follow me. So I 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.840 have more followers than Joe. Joe has actively been getting 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.600 all the followers. I've done nothing to go follow me, 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.760 so I have more. If Joe has more than me. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.360 I'm sure you do already, but no, you have more 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:33.600 than me. 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:34.680 It's very Let's get to the. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.400 Questions of the Peterson Cracker jacks. It's baseball. That's why 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:38.040 we're really here. 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.840 And here's part of a thread from Center for Access 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.720 to Information and Justice, which all sounds great. I love information, 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.800 I love justice, I love being the center of things. 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:47.520 It's all great. 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.360 So points league, these are the keeper options. Somebody's out, 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:58.840 Somebody's out Toronto, Vladimir Guerrero, Phillies, Trey Turner, Ellie Jordan Walker, 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.040 Volpi and Uri Peretz Now I look at this group 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.960 being in a points league, I think I dropped Volpi 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.400 back into the pile because the strikeout total is high. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.480 He's having a weird season. I think he's easier to redraft. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.280 Maybe you go right after him early and a keeper. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:15.240 I want a pitcher, and you've already got Vlad Turner, Ellie. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.640 Those are premium guys. Jordan Walker looks a little bit 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.040 more solid right now. To me, it's between Walker and Volpe. 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:21.600 That's the odd man out. Who's the odd man out 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:21.840 for you? 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.360 Did he say this is points? 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:25.360 Yes? Yeah. 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:29.440 There will be several other messages here because obviously the 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:30.960 Center for Information is going to give you as much 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:31.919 information as possible. 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:33.440 So I just to pull out the players. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.279 Well, we want to make sure to give him justice 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.200 in this in this entire move here, and it's Volpi. 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.600 Walker is hitting for such a high average, those hard 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.520 hit numbers. It's not quite equating to like the video 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.480 game stuff that Ellie's doing, but it's going to get 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.880 there into the future. So I want Walker. Ellie's a 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.520 no brainer. You're not messing with Ladd and Trey and 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.920 Uri Prays like you said in points leagues, I feel 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.400 like it's so popular to not appreciate and value pictures 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.800 and points leagues anymore, which is crazy because that's what 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.360 it's all about. So you're reason no brain er Sovulpi 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:02.360 got a kick. 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.680 There you go, uh goggles by the way, being funny, haha, 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.120 Joe joining friends is like when your mom joined Facebook. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.919 Why don't you go poke your grandma? Sabo Huh, your 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.279 grandma wants to be friends. She poked you, you go 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.040 poke her back, which sounds cross. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.400 Remember please don't poke your grandma. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:19.119 See. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.479 I was like the I fought Facebook forever, like I like, 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.520 not as physical, you know, but I mean everybody was. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:26.640 I was like, I don't want to do this and 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.039 it's stupid whatever, and then eventually, like nine years later, 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:30.960 I finally did it. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.799 So I want to be first for a change. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:34.920 So this is the only one I don't do is TikTok. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.119 I I just don't. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.200 I got a TikTok and I made a really funny 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.880 TikTok last year about the coach. 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.640 I don't know if you saw this. It's actually very funny. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.000 No I did the coach. 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.600 It was the coach press conference in uh in training 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.840 camp from the NFL and it's really it's really funny. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.960 But I haven't done one since, so maybe maybe I'll 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:54.680 just do what a year. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.919 It's not good for the algorithm, I'm told TikTok. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.799 I just don't get I don't get it. I can't. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:01.000 Who knows. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.919 Maybe this will be my space, Maybe this will be 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:08.720 a big thing. Go Pokemon, go poke your grandma's dan. Oh. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.880 Do I have to tell my relationship status on Threads? 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:16.120 I don't think so, hopefully not. I'm in a relationship 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.120 with the Welsh. 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.240 I haven't dug that date. I have one post on there, 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.560 and if if you've been hearing lately on other things, 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.240 I am obsessed with Tim Robinson. It's the only thing 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.000 I care about in my life. So I did the 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.680 fenty five burgers, fifty five shakes, fifty five fries, one 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:31.360 hundred tatters. 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.640 That was my first post on threads. So go like 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.960 and you and you. I will like it whenever I 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.440 see it on there. By the way, one person worse 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.719 than me is my is cousin Donnie. Cousin Donnie like 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.640 just joined social media last year, any of it? Like 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.680 he had none. It was hard, you know, you had 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.920 to actually call or text cousin Donnie, not now, not now, 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.080 So you know, he was. 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.640 Like, my people just joined social media and stuff because 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.960 you right, because they like everything and they comment everything. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.240 They're like, I'm trying to be engaged. You don't, no, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.880 you know, doesn't matter. Let's get to what does matter. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:06.440 Pablo Lopez, great performance for him, striking out twelve guys 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.520 nine innings. There you go, that's what you want, the 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.360 complete game stuff. Pablo Lopez was brilliant. The splits for 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.600 him have been very stark this year, so there was 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.640 reason to stay away. But you know what, whenever you 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.040 see the Royals, you just go troll the Royals. Sometimes 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.640 there's things in the fantasy world, the betting world they're 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.760 just too good to be true. And one of them 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.560 is facing the Royals right now, Welsh. They are a 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.720 hot mess. I think the rest of the season too. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.360 This is something like you see them on the slate, 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.640 you just attack, whether it be strikeout props, That's. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:35.200 What I've been doing. 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.000 Whatever, you just continue to go straight for those kansasity worlds. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.559 And I'm not trying to take away anything, but Pablo 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.720 Lopez is had a great season and strikeout totals are 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.560 way up from his career totals. But really like the 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.440 Royals are the gift that keeps on. They are the 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.120 giving tree, right. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.480 Yeah, and I agree, I absolutely attack them. But on 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.200 Pablo Lopez real quick. I haven't looked this up because 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.400 I don't know if it exists on any other guys. So, 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.760 first off, thirty percent plus whiff erate on both of 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.600 him his top used pitches fastball and sweeper thirty five 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.720 percent with rate. This is on the season. In game 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.080 last night when he was dominant and awesome, thirty two 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.280 percent with rate on the fastball. He had nothing on 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.520 the sweeper, so then he had a forty five percent 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.920 with rate on the change up and a fifty seven 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.120 percent on the curve ball. Seventeen total swinging misses four 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.200 of his are three of his four pitches had a 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:26.360 forty percent csw percentage so called strikes and whiffs. Awesome, 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.280 But the thing I was saying is, I don't know 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.960 if anyone else has this. He does four pitches double 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:35.240 digit percentage usage. His curveball has a forty percent with rate, 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.400 So I don't know is there another pitcher that has 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.760 three pitches of double digit percent usage with a thirty 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.680 percent WITHFT rate or higher. That's crazy. That seems crazy. 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.320 I just don't know if anybody else has that. You 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.559 get you see big whiff rates on like one pitch, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.760 maybe two, but three pitches. 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.280 Garret Cole would be the only guy. I wonder if 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.280 you looked up that number, would it be Garret Cole. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.800 I don't feel like it's not Strider, you know it's 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.520 not some of these other like Christian Hobby are with 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:01.880 a two bit. 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.000 Ironically, it wouldn't be a guy like a Darvish twelve 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.200 different spread out because he's got too many pictures. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.920 That's why I went with Garrett Cole. That would be 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.080 my one guess. H Cody, our friend Cody in the 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:13.480 chat to. 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.959 Talking about my Space. I never had a MySpace account. 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.480 I imagine you did because you were just a little 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.080 younger than me, and. 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.400 That was a very big thing for me I had. 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.360 I had the past your friends to rank your friends. 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:29.719 I think that's healthy. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.200 People think that's an unhealthy thing. I actually think that's healthy, 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.000 like I think a y I do. And here's why, 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.040 because you know what it's it's it's honest, and you 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.720 start ranking your friends, right, and if if you pissed 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.520 me off today and knock you down from five to 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:44.679 six or five to seven. 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:46.680 I think that means you better step up. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.679 That's why I say, who do you think would have 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.600 you in their top eight? If like our industry friends, 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.839 like of all those industry friends, like, who do you 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.320 think would have it? And you could also like you, 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.480 we could go all fantasy pros people. I was also 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:01.920 thinking like outside of fantasy. 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.120 Just of the fantasy industry would be in who I 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.080 would make their top would be in there. I'd like 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:07.640 to think you. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:13.800 I would like to think Bogman, Deeric Brown for sure, Ericson. Yes, 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.040 I think that Mayor would have me nowhere near his 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:22.000 MySpace page. And then I think Sealy would put me in, 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.040 but it would be real close. 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:24.320 I'd be like seven or eight. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.600 Because he'd want people who are He'd want people that 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.320 look better, even though technically I'm a better friend. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.480 He'd want higher profile. 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.680 Higher profile. You know, I was thinking, which. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.200 Is why he would to make my aid at all. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.480 I don't know if I would be in anybody's top 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.319 eight on you and Bogman. I don't know if I 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.680 have that type of like love from prospect people. Maybe, 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:47.920 but I don't know if anybody else would have me. 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.439 I think there's I think there's a handful of other 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.600 people that might have me in that like right around there. 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:53.960 But that's a good question. 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.440 I think that's a good question for threads. I'm gonna 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.440 put that out there on a thread and see if 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.199 people thread it. There you go, Singa, he was pretty 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:06.959 good at two another twelve strikeouts over eight innings for him, 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:12.120 A dramatic win against the Diamondbacks. My dude, Francisco Alvarez, 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.320 my pick yesterday for value of DFS came through it 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.000 a big home run, a big moment. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.280 Let's go so, by the way, before you moved on, 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.720 the Diamondbacks are striking out more than any team currently, 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.360 So you want to talk about like attacking teams. Kodai Senga, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.240 if you remember, I had a really good betting day 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:29.480 last year. I don't know if any of you guys 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.760 before following me, but Kodai Singa was plus money five 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.200 and a half strikeouts yesterday because the Diamondbacks were striking 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.800 out and struck out twelve. Not that you would attack 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.440 them all season long, but watching those trends of who's 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.640 striking out at pretty insane degrees is where you can 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.959 take advantage of Kodai Singa was freaking awesome last night 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.280 and kind of getting some stuff together. Thirty percent k percentage. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.400 The walk rate is way way too high still, but 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.280 he's not inducing as many barrels and just Kotae Singa's 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:57.800 moving in a right direction and that was a good, 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:58.920 very much so bet to. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:11:59.800 Attacks you could have. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.480 I have fat you know, code Senga was a guy 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.200 that we were very much on this year. I'm fascinating 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:06.560 to see if he's one of these dudes that takes 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.880 a big step forward next year. If you're if there's 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:10.800 a keeper league out there and you're out of it 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.880 this year, he would be a really fascinating buy because 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.160 he probably came relatively cheap this year in draft capital 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.760 or in price, if it was a salary cap draft. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.040 That would be a guy that would be very intriguing 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:23.240 to me. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.360 In twenty twenty four, if the Mets rebound, the kids 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.600 take a step forward, and they become a better team because. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:29.400 Senga's not going anywhere. 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.200 I mean, we could talk about suzer Verlander and all 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.600 that stuff. They're one hundred years old. They definitely had 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.560 you know they don't have any social media, those guys, 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:38.920 but no, but. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.880 Seriously, they they would definitely sang it to me. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.720 Is that one guy that I think could really be 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.880 a fascinating step forward. I don't want to say fantasy ace, 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.839 but maybe in that clarity, Chris Meede would keep me 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.800 in his eight by the way, mean one hundred. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.240 I would definitely be in Miani's a. By the way, 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:57.880 there's some funny ones on here. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:03.240 Yeah, fifty nine points six percent whift rate on his forkball, 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.280 uses it twenty two percent of the time. There's another 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.040 stat I want, does anybody have a higher whiff rate 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.040 on a pitch use twenty percent or more in baseball? 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.600 Because I don't think so. Twenty two percent he uses 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.679 that forkball. It's an almost sixty percent whiff rate. That 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.840 has to be the most whift that pitch in baseball 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.840 this year. I can't believe any other. 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.199 Pitches, David says, Frank Stanfel will put you in the 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:25.559 top eight. 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.120 I Frankie might have. Yeah, Okay, that's called Frank might have. Also, 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.120 our shared love of Tim Robinson could get Towers to 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.680 maybe even consider because all we do now is tweet 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.439 at each other with Tim Robinson Gifts, so there's possibly 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.240 I think Aeric Cross who rich over here, Eric could 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.480 maybe play might be people that put me in, but 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.880 you know you employ that, you employ Cross, so like 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.120 I think you would have a standard over me. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.520 Oh that's the thing, Like if I employ you and 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.400 you don't keep me in your top eight, and maybe 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:54.319 next year we have to have. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.680 The black with hr. Yeah. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.600 Maybe you know, neither one of us would get on 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:58.839 on Spore by the way. 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.200 No sport sport wouldn't even you know, all all his 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:03.680 eight would be dogs, the. 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.680 Dogs or or members of the Troy Tigers. Yeah, like 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:10.000 just be like. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.960 OTP MLB the show for six Dogs. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:14.880 Six Dogs. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:19.920 And then Spencer torkleson uh lugo two runs one earned 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:23.200 six case for him nice outing, uh so especially good 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.320 because the padres a little help there with walking going 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.040 on the I l Brian Bellow, another guy that we 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.520 were on yesterday seven strong innings as the Red Sox 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.040 get a w against the Raiders. 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.160 That, yeah, I thought that was impressied. I was not 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.280 on him yesterday. Someone asked me like, hey, are you 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:42.440 starting Bail And I'm like, I'm not starting him. Rangers 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.240 of offense. 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.680 Is the reason why I was yes, yes, but but 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:46.920 look at what he's done in the last four starts. 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.960 I told you he's been very solid these last four starts. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.520 I think something is clicked here. The confidence there, Bellow's 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:54.400 very intriguing for me. 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.400 Rush radar change up. He had eight whiffs on that 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.280 thing yesterday. Pretty pretty impressive swing through pitch through at 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.760 thirty percent of the time. Beyo, definitely moving into the territory. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.280 Now here's an interesting one just from Billy, no last name, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.680 just just Billy. I don't know how you know this 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:12.960 is the one person that got. 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.760 Just Billy on old Billy. 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.560 Is this the last chance to sell Mike Trout in 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.320 a keeper league? I kind of wonder keeper dynasty like 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.680 I would avert. You lost patience with Trout after the 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.800 last few years of injuries because there's been a ton 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.600 of injuries with Mike Trout in last couple of years, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.520 like not insignificant injuries, We're talking like giant chunks of 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.680 the season injuries with Mike Trout that I think the 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.600 frustration level and looking at that he doesn't steal bases anymore. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.120 He got to that point in his career where he's 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.000 getting older and all those things. When you on that, 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.760 you know, once you cross over that dividing line of thirty, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.240 do you think that there is enough value to sell 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.160 at this point? Even like what's the return for Mike Trout? 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:52.880 I know you go on the trade analyzer and go 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.640 look at it. But in keeper like in redraft leagues, 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.040 but in dynasty keeper formats, that's. 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.320 A big question. Is this the last chance? Is there 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.200 a chance you can It's not. 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.840 It's it's I'm almost one hundred percent. It's not the 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.680 last chance. Also, it's not the time right now. Do 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.320 not when is Mike trust. 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.440 The off season? You wait for the off season. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.280 When will then be now soon soon? H First off, 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.080 do it when he's on the field. You do not 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.440 trade Mike Trout right now when he's hurt, because people 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.200 are like, well, you know they're going to sell you 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.280 on all the reasons. Why absolutely not. Second off, he's 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.320 thirty one years old. Yes, his the some of the 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.520 stats are diminishing as far as what we knew of 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.640 Mike Trout, but you see plenty of Paul Goldschmid, Freddy Freeman. 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.920 These guys absolutely can get it done. At thirty four 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.280 to thirty five years old. So I firmly, firmly believe 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.720 that it is not the last opportunity. Now, if you 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:44.840 want to sell him at the high I still think 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:46.320 you have a couple of years to do it. So 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.280 selling him when he's back and healthy now versus two 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.080 years from now, it's kind of whatever you know, you feel, 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.520 and whatever the return looks like. But if you want 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.800 to talk about like who he is second most hard 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.960 hit percentage of his career. This year he's had an 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.880
