Action let's kind of 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.520 get started here and let's talk About Corbyn. Burns, Yesterday 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.400 Corbyn burns did not have a great. Outing allowed six, 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.320 runs five earned in five and two, thirds took the 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.760 loss against The. Astros he gave up eight, Hits he 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:17.000 had a couple, walks no. Strikeouts our Buddy Eric cross 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:18.959 tweeted this out and this has been kind of the 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.959 mantra For Corbyn burns right. Now over his last four, 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.200 Starts burns has twenty and two thirds of an, innings 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.480 pitch has given up twenty nine, hits twenty earned. Runs 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.400 he's given up twenty earned runs in twenty, innings pitch walk, 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.440 seven only struck out, eighteen has an eight point seven 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.040 to ONE era and a one point seven to four. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:45.640 Whip Corbyn burns is disastrous right. Now the question what 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.280 do you? DO i, mean this is tough because this 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.320 is Big Corbyn. Burns is there an application to the 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.880 rest of this? Season and then what effect does this 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:55.639 have on next? 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.440 Year for the rest of the, season you basically play. 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.919 Matchups he's not an auto, start kind of The Kevin gospan. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.040 Syndrome right. Here burns was already lacking in his strikeouts 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.120 compared to The burns we've seen in previous seasons and 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.600 now the contact is catching up to. Him but you 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.560 can't really drop him right, now but you can't auto start. 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.000 Him is what it comes down To Corbyn burns going. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.200 Forward i've always been kind of skeptical on burns y 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.639 falls and. Drafts i'm, interested but he's not an ace. 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.320 Anymore he's a good sp two in. Fantasy JUST i 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.360 need strike out upside from an ace In Corbyn burns 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:25.080 does not have that right. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.280 Now it's pretty brutal. Too this was right at the 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.320 beginning of the. Season this is one of my cy young. 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.360 GUYS i really thought there it was going to be, 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.280 there and you, know he was kind of lighting it 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.880 up very early. On but it has fallen. Apart he 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.720 had a two four to THREE R but by the, 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.800 WAY i just want to point, out LIKE i think 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:43.440 it gonna to be a little dramatic about, him like 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.200 he is not an ace. Anymore he had a two 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.120 four to THREE era in the first half of the 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.360 season over one hundred innings. Pitched he had a barely 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.400 one whip one point zero four nine and four record 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:58.360 was pretty, solid but in seven starts in the Post 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.360 All star, break fives seven FIVE era a one point 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.560 three to eight. Whip he's completely fallen, apart and it's 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.680 not and you can't really even identify either because home 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.480 and away he's got about the same. Era he's giving 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:16.039 up a lot more on. Base at, home he's got 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.440 a point ninety six whip on the, road point a 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.920 one point twenty nine at. Home But i'm not really 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.640 sure there's anything identifiable about. It but, yeah at this, 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.680 Point jiji actually is bringing this. Up we have a 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.479 couple of, these like top twenty sps that have turned 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.279 into matchup based. Guys crochet And burns are guys that 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.640 you really have to pay, attention a little bit more attention, 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.279 to and it's really brutal For. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.440 Burns, yeah it's really really brutal For. Burns LIKE i, 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.000 said the only REASON i say it's not AN ace 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.440 is the whole season the strikeouts haven't been, there and 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.000 that's to me THE ace. Moniker BUT i did not 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.480 see this stretch, coming to be. Honest but, yeah you Mentioned. 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.120 Crochet you, Know Tanner hauck's been. Horrible there's a bunch 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.200 of guys that started the year. Great either innings are 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.599 going to catch up, there they're whispers of schemes and 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.839 scoobal inning. Situations there's a the whole thing coming up 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.000 that for The fantasy final stretch can make things very 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:04.640 very not. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.960 COOL i, Mean Luis heal went on il like a 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.719 bunch of the first half guys have had some struggles 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.560 into the second, half and you know it might it 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.240 might be worth something in the offseason of really taking 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:23.440 a look and maybe identifying that a future way to approach. 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.040 Pitching but the problem is that you're gonna have to 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.320 make the right decision on the second. Half is just 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.200 like you sell all of your good pitchers from the first. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.640 Half it's not to say that guys aren't carrying. Over 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.840 Terry scougle is carrying, over and once he gets into, 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.560 that you, know like next year, something when there's no 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.240 longer innings and, stuff he'll just kind of continue going. 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:46.520 On but you, know there might be something to liquidating 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.960 your sp assets in redraft after the first half to some, 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.160 degree making sure you're trading any of these little question 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.159 mark type of players because they're all kind of backtracking 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.320 outside Of. Skeen skeens is, one but you know he's 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.719 got the potential innings. Limits same thing happened With Jared 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.960 jones getting. Hurt at the end of the, day what 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.960 it could turn into What zane is, saying just no pitching. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:10.920 Early BUT i feel like that's the mantra we've had 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.600 for three straight, years is like no one wants to 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.000 take pitching, early but we kind of we're all still 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.320 in this complaining spot at this. Point, yeah we. 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.840 Just did our two early draft champions for the third straight, 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.479 year did the first eleven, rounds and even after eleven, 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.400 rounds was a ton of, Pitching Like Zach gallon went 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.960 in round ten And Carlos rodnd written around like eight or. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.520 Nine there's a lot of pitching. Went they'll get me, 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.280 wrong but there's still Like gosspend didn't get, drafted AND 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.200 i get, it but we're eleven rounds, In we're one 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.240 hundred and sixty five picks in or. Whatever so there's 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.160 a slew of pictures like that still. Available so the 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.040 idea of waiting is kind of being prophesized already in twenty. 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.200 Twenty do you recall how many pitchers went in like 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:51.800 the first two. 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.240 Rounds if you give me two, SECONDS i can pull 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:55.000 this picture. 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.799 Up Because i'm gonna Guess i'm gonna guess it's gonna 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.440 be Like Skiingsol. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.480 Skans, Went skeens went, Ninth scuba went. Twelfth and then 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.880 in round TWO i Took wheeler as the third pitcher 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.120 off the. Board, Wheeler, burns And, kirby so five pitchers 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:09.640 in the first two. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.280 Runs skeens is the number one overall. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.880 Pitcher taken that, yep ninth pick. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.560 Overall, WOW i mean that says a. Lot and guess 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.560 what yesterday we'll continue on. That keep that up. There 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.640 skeens threw six shutout innings On thursday as they beat The. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.240 Reds he gave up two, hits walked, one struck out. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.520 Nine it was one of those like quintessential awesome. Performances 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.720 eighth win of the. Season he's allowed three Run this 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.480 is on Rotal, world by the, way not. Mine he 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.200 allowed three runs or less in sixteen of his seventeen 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.120 starts this, year and he struck out at least eight 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.320 batters in ten of his last. Fourteen this also was 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:50.040 on the eve of him officially losing the Consensus rookie 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.040 of the. Year odds now that may have changed. Today 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.080 yesterday it was like minus one seventy five For Jackson. 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:59.600 Merrill were you at all surprised That skeens was the 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.520 number umber one in the next year, Draft like part 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.400 of me is and part of me is not LIKE i. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.480 EXPECT i, MEAN i literally said before you told, ME 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.680 i would Expect, Skiing, scooble And wheeler wasn't in the 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.400 top of my head those would be the top. Three 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.040 but not only Did skins go number one, overall he 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.280 went in the top. Ten didn't did that shock you at? 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.680 All, No and we did a preview. SHOW i know 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.360 some other guys that are in the league did previous. 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.280 Shows some guys had him going as high as five or. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.720 SIX i had him in the first. Round And i'm 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.320 not like Taking wheeler around twos. Early for, Me i'm 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.800 not that. Early i'm, pitching but for that, FORMAT i 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.160 just want a, horse and that's What wheeler. Is skiings And, 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.600 scooble everyone loves. Them they're going to be first rounders 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.520 for the most part in at least high Level Ohia 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.120 stakes leagues because what pitching takes a premium more in that. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.440 Situation So i'm not. SURPRISED i, guess like you, said 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.200 twenty five percent, surprise seventy five percent not like it was, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.040 there JUST i don't want to see him going like 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.280 top five Like Spencer. Strider that's where things get a 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:55.040 little too wonky for. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.199 ME i wonder IF i Think i've made this comparison 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.840 in different ways, before BUT I i wonder if sps 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.080 next year are going to be similar to what running 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.200 backs are in fantasy football this, year in that there 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.920 is this core at the very tippy top which are 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:15.240 worth reaching, for and then it's like just wait and, 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.280 wait and WHEN i say, wait, wait AND i wonder 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.560 if that's what it's going to be like between Getting, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:25.320 scooble Getting, schemes Getting, wheeler and that might be, it 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.679 Because i'm not even sure you would feel. COMPELLED i 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.120 Think burns will take a hit from. This i'm not 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.240 sure if Even kirby stays into that. Territory Cole reagan's 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.280 maybe being. Undervalued BUT i wonder if it's like those 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:40.160 three and then it's just like, poof and because like 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.679 if we're, talking if the narrative even in the chat is, like, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:47.360 yeah you, know avoid sps and don't draft, sps but 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.840 then two are going in like the top, twelve it 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.080 might be that everyone is going to hoard that very top, 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.360 end but nothing else is. Trustworthy Chris sale probably belongs. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.240 That in that, Conversation redraft maybe just for, age BUT 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.440 i wonder if it'll mirror THE rbs a little. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.800 Bit, YEAH i could see That sale went three three 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.200 tenth pick in round, three so three ten THAT i can. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.400 Round in round three and, four we saw ten starting 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.920 pitchers go in those thirty picks and like seven. Closers 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.160 so between rounds three and three and, seven over half 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.920 the picks were either a starter or a. Closer so 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.000 guys went top end, hitting and it seems like and 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.960 then loaded up pitching after. That that's and, again this 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.880 is way too early a. Lot it's going to change 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:27.280 by twenty. 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.720 Two it. Is but also that's like that's kind of 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.360 like a. STAND i think that's like a standard approach 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.800 of what people want to. Take it's, like, hey give 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.080 me three core bats and Then i'll start four or. 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:38.800 FIVE i guess you, said what did you? Say round 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.400 four through seven or six through? Three? 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.800 Three three seven was a heavy pitcher like probably a 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.080 fifteen to fifty pitcher hitter. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.880 Situation give me two or three like coour, hitters and 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.720 Then i'm willing to get in on the pitching. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.040 Market right this is the third year of this. LEAGUE 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.280 i won the first. Year this year i'm fifth right. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.280 NOW i went four straight hitters and THEN i went 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.959 three straight pitchers in the first seven. Rounds last year 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.520 AT i had a cunion number, one so you know 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.760 how that. Went but, yeah it's an interesting philosophy to 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.920 see where it. Goes BUT i will say what's funny 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.880 about this is the first time we did this. League 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.040 out of all The draft champions, leagues we finished like 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:14.040 top tenth as a, league like cumulative points, wise which 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.600 is pretty entertaining for you, know basically drawing blind In. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.600 August, yeah that's that is actually pretty. FUNNY i, mean 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.000 it's a weird thing because we're in this space where 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.640 obviously we're wanting to finish out hard and, everything but 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.720 like we're also kind of taking our eyes and starting 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.360 to look to next year and talk about. 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:32.679 We get so many, questions you know how it. Is 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.679 we got so many twenty twenty five questions. Already it's 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.040 like we still got four weeks guys like, This wait a. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.720 MINUTE i, Know i'm already kind of like thinking about 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.839 like my approach and some of my off season work 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.600 BECAUSE i want to do, it, like you, know sooner 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.880 Than i've ever done it, before to maybe take advantage 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.240 of some like best ball stuff early. On so, yeah 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.439 it's just very. Interesting those guys have kind of flip 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.840 flopped it WHERE i Think burns is on a big 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.520 down tick And Paul skeins is on the biggest up 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.920 of up number one sp and baseball already being drafted 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.360 and kind of back at. It and we'll, see you, 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.360 know if they made another comment about the potential innings 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.880 cap and we'll see in like they don't have any 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.640 plans for, it BUT i kind of feel like they're 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.400 just going to drop the hammer when they. Do they're 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:14.760 not going to lead us up to. It they'll just 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.280 they just this is. It and you, Know i'm the 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.680 only person like on the planet apparently that cares about 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.280 The Jackson merrill thing BECAUSE i have THE i have 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:24.560 a live rookie bet plus. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.080 Seventeen i'm pumped for, You LIKE i, know we've talked 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.280 about in the show a while, back and every time 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:30.880 he has a big night WHEN i do some other, 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.040 PODCASTS i mentioned, it like right, Away i'm, like, hey 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.959 he's still plus, Money he's still plus. Money like it's, 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.800 like think about, it, FOLKS. 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.160 I know it's all out, there but he's minus like 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:43.840 one stepndymore had your chance trying to cash that. Baby Jacob, 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.199 deGrom he is, back at least in the. Minors he 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.400 struck out, three allowed one run over two innings On 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.240 thursday in his first minor league rehab. Assignment he went 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.800 over to DOUBLE A frisco and as, noted he his 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.520 stuff looked pretty. Good he was sitting up into the 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.400 upper nighties as he returns From Tommy. John he even 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:07.240 hit triple. Digits the plan is four minor league, starts 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.760 as it, said and then he would come. Back so 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.920 if we start doing the, math we've got one more In, 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.280 august we'll get probably two In, september and then that 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:20.720 leads to most likely not having any real awesome. Effect 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:25.360 it's looking like for, fantasy but maybe into your. Playoffs you, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.319 know like there's a possibility if you get into like 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:28.959 a second round of the, playoffs he would be out. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.840 THERE i guess the question would, be would you have 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:37.120 the kahonas to Start Jacob deGrom if he gets into a, 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.160 start you're in the. Playoffs let's say it's like A Thursday. 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.760 Friday you know it's right towards the, end and let's 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.640 say it's like a Media i'd probably have to look 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.240 at The rangers matchup right. Now but you, know like 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.120 call it like An. Astros you know The astros are out. 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.400 There you, know would you start a De gram coming 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.040 off of the injury versus An astros type of? Team, 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:55.640 no not at. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.120 All he'd have to be so lights out these four rehab. 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.160 STARTS i think all The rangers want to see here 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.480 is can't you put a couple of games together getting 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.040 ready for twenty twenty. FIVE i am just and that's 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.640 What i'm looking, For, like, hey can he finish the 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.480 season healthy and we can move into to next. Season 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.240 And i'm a fan of. That i'm just gonna sit 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.199 back and watch him as baseball, fan hope he does. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.200 Well but for Fantasy i'm not Touching jacob De. 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.080 Grim did he go in the top ten rounds of 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:18.320 what you? 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.800 Did? Yes he? Did oh he, Did, yeah somebody somebody. 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.960 Did he took chances on like three guys bouncing back next, 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.600 year thinking he's going to get at least two out 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.400 of three to become aces. Again so, yes it's. 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.280 Not it's not the worst bet on the planet that. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.360 It's a Fifty it's a fifty round. Draft so he 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.520 can come back and just get a bunch of boring 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.240 like guys to fit the backfield just in. Case like 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:41.200 it's a strategy that could. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.600 Work he's the type of Guy i'm gonna fall for 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.880 next year because he's not gonna cost Old jacob De grom. 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.480 Numbers he'll come back a little bit like he there's 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.320 a chance the value could be a little bit like 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.840 we're a little bit. Squirmy you're, like, oh BUT i 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.120 think there's a decent shot that you don't see De 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.760 gram inside the top, thirty top thirty five OF. SPS 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.440 i think there's a shot at. IT i know you 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:04.760 think you think he's gonna. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.560 CRUSH i think if he finishes this season like De, 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.240 grom and then all it takes is like one spring, 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.920 outing the dude's back to a top fifteen starting. Pitcher 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:14.960 people are buying that in a. 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.600 Heartbeat, okay, no, no, no you're you're not wrong about. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.320 That BUT i think the difference for what His january 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:26.000 value is to what His i've just pitched two good 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.400 outings in spring. Value those are. Different so if this 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:34.240 is some early drafts In, January, february Mid, february you 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.600 can probably still get the really good. Value totally. Agree 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.840 he goes out there hits triple. Digits i'm out at 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.200 camp taking pictures of him And Greg. Maddox, again people 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.160 are losing their, mind and then all of a, sudden 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.520 de gram is back into the top. Twenty very, reasonable. 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:49.960 And that's why a bunch of that's why a bunch 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.160 of us are degenerates when we start drafting In december 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.520 And january to get those type of values because we 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.400 know there's not a Chance i'm getting him In. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:01.240 March i've never done the First Hitch november. DRAFT i 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:02.280 feel LIKE i kind of want to this. 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.120 Year sign up For It's saturday.

GAMES i love MY 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.280 afl games of the, prospects and sometimes that's interview, time all. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.840 RIGHT a couple other pieces, Here Spincer, swellenbach another pitcher 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.280 that is on the high. RISE i know a lot 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.360 of pitching stuff, here a lot two, runs six and 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.800 two thirds inning On, thursday a bunch of, strikeouts gave 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.520 up three, hits only walked. One he had eighteen consecutive. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.240 Batters he had retired at one point and so far 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.120 over his last eight starts two point eight FOUR, Era, 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.280 yeah two point eight FOUR, era sixty two strikeouts and 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:40.040 around fifty, innings and he looks like this is one 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.960 of those guys Where Joe piece Of pia who has 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.480 left us and is not paying. Attention they're not gonna 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.560 catch up to how Good Spencer swellenbach really. Was you'll 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.880 see some numbers and you'll get excited, there but actually 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.600 physically watching, him it's an opportunity that people are going 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:59.080 to miss out on the, hype the hype that's going 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.600 to follow him as probably like a top FIVE i would, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.280 say a top five breakout pitcher for next year because 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:06.639 he's having a good year this. Year what are your 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:07.359 thoughts on Swelling? 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.040 Bach love, him, absolutely love, Him And i'll be the 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.800 first submit THAT i was skeptical when he first got called. 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.440 Up so a lot of pitch to contact skills that 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.920 always scares me for, fantasy but that has shifted. Dramatically 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.320 strikeouts and. BUNCHES i love what we're seeing. Here he 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.840 went in the first eleven rounds in our, draft but 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:25.800 so people were in on him. There but these are 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:27.560 guys that pay attention, to Like joe. B, Sapo so 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.600 you are you are correct. There i'm a Big i'm 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.560 a big fan of Swelling. Buck SO i think this 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.960 is legit and The braves need him because that rotation is. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:38.400 Sketchy makes me think of the Old Adam sandler Bed oh, 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.040 honey pull out your swelling bock and show him to. 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.360 Mom you're swelling, Back you're. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:44.359 Swelling you're swelling. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.639 BUCK a lot Of adam saling rest of. Season all, 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.640 right let me phrase it. Differently would you Drop Garrett 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.760 crochet For Spencer? Schwellenbach? 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.000 Definitely, DEFINITELY i said the only like in most, leagues 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.440 especially heads to, Heads crochet is not helped because he 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.280 can't get you win like you need the points the 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.800 wins come. With SO i would Take schullum blocking on a. 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.280 Heartbeat that's. Good, YEAH i mean it's gonna be one 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:07.919 of those value. Guys just be on the lookout for. 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:09.840 It and then, finally it's a little bit old hat 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.639 news here because you know we have the spacing between 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.000 the show. Days but The mariners Fired Scott's Service. Seattle 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.800 also they fired their hitting, Coach Jared. DeHart service was 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.520
