Yes, friends, that guy's 21 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: gonna hang with me for the show. We got a 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: lot of stuff to get to. Your questions are welcome. 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: A little bit later in the show, we'll answer some 24 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: of your questions. I will star them in the chat. So, 25 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: if you guys have got any for this weekend, streamers, 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: next week, pickups, next season, whatever it is, drop it 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: in the chat and I will make sure to start 28 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: and we will get it at the end of the episode. 29 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: But me and Julio we're gonna move on. We're gonna 30 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 1: get into the show, and the Braves have activated second basement. 31 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: Ozzie Albi's from the sixty day il finally getting back 32 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: into action. You're gonna get him, which is going to 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: mean Von Grissom is going to be moving to the outfield. 34 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: I believe, I mean, I'm believing this is going to 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: be starting as of today. If you guys follow me 36 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: and looking at Ozzy Alby's before the injury, eight homers, 37 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: three stolen bases, two forty four batting average in about 38 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: sixty two games before he was knocked down. So Ozzi 39 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: Alby is going to jump right back into it. Von 40 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: Grisham Grissom. I always struggle with the Grissom versus Grisham. 41 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: Von Grissom, who will not most likely get you eligibility 42 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: in the outfield due to this due to just the 43 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: amount of times that are left, but he will have 44 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: second base. Has hit three h four, five homers, five 45 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: stolen bases in that time under twenty percent K percentage. 46 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: That's why they're not going to knock him off of 47 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: this spot. That's why he's not going to be put 48 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: in a situation where, uh, that's why you're not going 49 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: to see him. I don't know if you got double 50 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: at the other that's why you're not going to see 51 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: him in a situation where he's not getting time. So, uh, 52 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna be out there. He's going to be rolling 53 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: and he's going to be playing some outfield as they 54 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: were working him recently. So five homers, five stolen bases, 55 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: Von Grissom. There you go. Interesting stat from Wonky or 56 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: just note Wan Sota went over four with a pair 57 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: of strikeouts on Thursday. The pitcher we'll talk about in 58 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: a shutout loss to the Diamondbacks, the twenty three year 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: older has not homered in sixteen straight games since August 60 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: twenty eighth, now hitting two two three, seventy five OBP 61 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: with three homers and seven RBI in thirty five games 62 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: since being acquired last month from the Nationals. Okay, Wan 63 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: Soto have been struggling. Actually, Julio, Julio, what do you 64 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: think about Juan Soto's value coming in next year? Julio, Okay, Julio. 65 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: As you can see, Julio's very positive about the value 66 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: next season, which I completely understand. I'm gonna be relatively positive, 67 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: but I do think there's a potential that you're gonna 68 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: see Sodo drop out of the first round. He's one 69 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: of those few guys that can hit so poorly and 70 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: can you know, will have the ability to stay in 71 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: his relative spot. But I just don't think he's going 72 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: to be a first rounder. You know what I would 73 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: like in this too. I actually think this would be 74 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: similar to when Mookie Bets struggled, when you would see 75 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: like you know, the poor poor year of Mookie Bets 76 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: where it was like twenty twenty and his batting averages 77 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: down in two sixties and he went around fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, 78 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: somewhere in there. That's where I think SODA's going to 79 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: end up being. So I think you can liken it 80 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: similar to Mookie Betts's struggles and how he fared there. 81 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: By the way, has the chat does chat not love? 82 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: My co host today should have went with a pick 83 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: of Joe. I should have went with a pick of Joe. 84 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I am literally have a second camera going here, 85 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: and I pulled up a Julio Rodriguez living set card 86 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: that I have because I figured he'd be a good guess. 87 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: But how have I not gotten love for this adjustment 88 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: that I've made for my co host today? It's crazy. 89 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: It's crazy Dray Jamison, So let's talk about this. A 90 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: couple of strikeouts came because Dray Jamison, with the Arizona 91 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: diamond Backs, made his major league debut. He went seven 92 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: innings on Thursday, he got the win. He ended up 93 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: striking out five in a really, really impressive performance. By 94 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: the way, that it wasn't quite what I said like, 95 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: I was like, I could see him getting blown out, 96 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: but I could also see him being put in a 97 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: situation where he would end up striking out a whole bunch. 98 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: He didn't actually do that. He ended up striking out. 99 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: He ended up striking out five instead of the eight, 100 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: and it was a pretty pretty good performance. So real quick, 101 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: we are going to bring in the actual co host 102 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: today that we lost, Julio. Thank you very much, Julio 103 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: for hanging out with us. They don't know Rookie of 104 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 1: the Year, but the real guy is right there, Chris Clegg. 105 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: Thank you so sorry, guys. I I had a little 106 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: something come up, but we're here. I know it's not 107 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: the best to be late, but we're here and I'm 108 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: excited to join you. 109 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 3: Willis. 110 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: I was struggling a bit there, but Julio. I didn't 111 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: get any love on Julio by the way, for co 112 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: host with me on that beautiful picture. But I was 113 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: just talking about Dre Jamison in I was I was 114 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: kind of expecting there to be one of two outcomes. 115 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: I was expecting big dominant strikeout performance or for him 116 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: to get blown up, and it was just kind of 117 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: in the middle. Diamondbacks pitchers absolutely dominate the padres for 118 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: whatever reason that that is. These young pitchers, you know 119 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: the PCL. Dre Jamison had like a five VRA just 120 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: didn't matter because it's a PCL where these guys get 121 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: lit up. He came in and it's a pretty good performance. 122 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: Seventy two percent fastball usage, though one is designated as 123 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: a sinker, and he really can make it die. He 124 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: didn't get really any whiffs on it. His slider was 125 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: his big whiff pitch. He had a fifty percent swinging 126 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: with percentage on it. He threw it around seventeen percent 127 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: of the time. And his change up, which might be 128 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: his best secondary, he only threw nine of them the 129 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: whole time. It didn't get it, had a couple of 130 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: swinging throughs, one miss, but it was a pretty good 131 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: performance where he had command, which was the shocker of shockers. 132 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if you got to catch any of 133 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: the performance. What do you think about dra Jamison and 134 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: what was like pretty poor minor league season but looked 135 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: really good on Thursday. 136 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he was impressive, not to the standpoint 137 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: what you thought, Like you said, maybe big strikeout stuff, 138 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: we didn't see that, but overall a really solid performance. 139 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: You know, you have to wonder when we think about 140 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 2: a season like this where anything about the PCL. I mean, 141 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: Jamison was so good in twenty twenty one and then 142 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: this year the PCL kind of threw him off, and 143 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: you know, for what it's worth, that's a very hitter 144 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: friendly environment. So Jamison's an interesting one. I think that 145 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: there's still something to like there. You know, does he 146 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: continue to get starts down the stretch. 147 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. 148 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: We'll see, but I've always liked Jamison a bit, and 149 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: you know, good fastball. I mentioned the change up being 150 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: a good pitch as well. Walks had been a concern, 151 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: but we have kind of seen that trend downward a 152 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: bit this year, which I think was encouraging. 153 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: So we'll see moving forward. 154 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: But you know, I think the the Diamondacks want to 155 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: see what they haven't Jamison at this point. 156 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, I like it. By the way, I just 157 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: one of the biggest missed opportunities, and it's being pointed 158 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: out to me. Donnie said, I should have had Joe. 159 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: This is my biggest missed opportunity of the year. So 160 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, Chris had an issue he's dealing with. I 161 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: have multiple different copies of the Fantasy Black Book, and 162 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: I should have taken because in the Fantasy Black Book 163 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: is a picture is Joe Pps blue steel picture, And 164 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: I should have put that over here as a It's 165 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: the biggest missed opportunity of twenty twenty two that I 166 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: could have put blue Steel over here and I could 167 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: have just done impressions of Joe. I'm so sorry I 168 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: let you guys down in chat. I really could have 169 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: done that. But getting to the actual stuff, Yeah, Dre 170 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: Jamison I'm impressed with, and I'm impressed overall with what 171 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks have in a lot of these guys, Ryan Nelson, 172 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: how I think it's gonna shape out those I think 173 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: Ryan Nelson is going to be a starter. I think 174 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: Brandon fat who we have not seen, is going to 175 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: be a starter. Led the minor leagues strikeouts this past 176 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: season with over two hundred, and I think Dray Jamison 177 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: and maybe even Tommy Henry or guys that are gonna 178 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: end up going to the bullpen. Dray Jamison could be 179 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: the closer type, but this type of performance of him 180 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: being able to go seven, to not be erratic and 181 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: show an arsenal of pitches is how he can be 182 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: a starter. So I would throw it out. I think 183 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: I might be willing to get down on his next start. 184 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,599 Speaker 1: Him and Ryan Neilson, they just both have been really impressive. 185 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: And you know, Drey Jamison is an incredible athlete. I 186 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: think I've told the story before in a camp about 187 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: a year ago. You know, you know Corbyn Carroll, Gorbyn 188 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: Carroll pretty fast, one of the fastest guys was what 189 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: thirty one sprint speed, one of the fastest guys in 190 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: elite speed. And they've got the back of the Dinebacks field. 191 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: They've got this great like artificial track where these guys 192 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: stretch and stuff, and it's really long, it's probably about 193 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: seventy five yards or so. And Drey Jamison and Corbyn 194 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: Carroll raced each other and Dre one like he's an athlete. 195 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: He's an athlete. He beat Corbyn Carroll in a foot race. 196 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: So this is a monster athlete with an arsenal of 197 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: pitches and if it goes right, this is the you know, 198 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: this is the type of guy who's going to get 199 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of strikeouts and is going to be 200 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: able to be an absolute dude. On the prospect front, 201 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: Cleig Cincher here and I figured we were going to 202 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: talk about a few prospects, probably the last of the 203 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: major prospects that come. I know, I say that's still 204 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. They're trying to get some players, 205 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, some extra time. We're actually in a space 206 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: here's when fall leagues releasing their rosters today and they've 207 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: already released salt Rivers. And another reason I'm mentioning this 208 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: is like, because of the call up, we're not going 209 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: to get Corbyn Carroll on the AFL, We're not gonna 210 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: get Gunner Henderson. And teams have also made some decisions 211 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: on players, one of being Matt Murvis. If anyone pays attention, 212 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: Matt Murvis with the Cubs was really dominant in the 213 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: minor leagues this year, a guy that you could argue 214 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: maybe would have really benefited from like two weeks in 215 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: the majors and done whatever. But as I'm told, he 216 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: will be in the AFL. So is not going to 217 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: be a guy they're going to call up. And so 218 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: teams can still if they want. But I think for 219 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: the most part we've kind of got our Look. Maybe 220 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: we'll get one random one. This is all the circle around, 221 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: and say Jordan Groshans maybe being the last guy that 222 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: was going to get his major call up. He was 223 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: traded earlier this year to the Marlins, he had his 224 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: first career home run. He struggled as far as power goes. 225 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: I think his slugging and Triple A this year was 226 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: four sixteen, not a big power guy. Was seen as 227 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: a big prospect at the time. I think he's really 228 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: falling off. But get your take on Jordan Groschan's the 229 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: rest of the year. 230 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: He's honestly looked a bit different since being traded, which 231 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: is certainly encouraging. You mentioned his slug in Triple A 232 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 2: and Miami, but it was two ninety six in Toronto, 233 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 2: which is horrific. You know, you're running a three point 234 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: fifty OVP and a two ninety six slugging and that's 235 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: nearly over three into plate appearances. 236 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 3: It's not good. 237 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 2: And I think a lot of Grossian's was some projectability 238 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 2: and we just didn't really see him develop the hit tools. 239 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: There. Certainly good to see the power at least. 240 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: Early on, and even in Miami in Triple A two 241 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: home runs and one hundred and thirty three played appearances 242 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 2: being traded. 243 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: Over so Grossian's is interesting. 244 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: Not as high on him as I once was, but 245 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: I do think there's a little bit of fantasy intrigue 246 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: if he can sustain some of the power gains that 247 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: we've seen, at least over the last month or so, 248 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: because there is a good feel to hit there with Grossians, 249 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 2: good contact skills overall, and we'll see. I'm not expecting 250 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: much this year, like I'm not sure for Redraft. He's 251 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: super valuable, but from a long term perspective, I still 252 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: think there's a little bit of interesting in Grossian's profile. 253 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's at the end of the day, it's 254 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: about sorry, I was doing something. I was knocking stuff 255 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: around in the background. It's also about like opportunity and 256 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: being able to get the opportunity here. He's God. I'm 257 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: trying to put my finger on how I want to 258 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: say the type of guy he You know, it might 259 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: be like an Alec Bohm if you really want to 260 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: think about it. Alec Boma just a non high power 261 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: player that can hit for some contact. Once he gets going, 262 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: you put him in that spot. But if you got 263 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: twenty homers you would proba probably be really happy. But 264 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: I could see him hitting in the middle of a 265 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: Marlin's lineup. That is what would be the most intriguing, 266 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: not this year, but going into next year. If people 267 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: care about it. On the injury front, jitdy Brewbaker left 268 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: thursday start against the Mets with right Latin discomfort and 269 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: Alihandro Kirk was held out of Thursday's lineup with hip discomfort. 270 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: Is Ali Hendro Kirk going to be a top free 271 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: catcher for you next year? I think top five is 272 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: kind of like a no brainer. But do you think 273 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: he'll be in the top three because you're battling for 274 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: muto A obviously Adley, I think VARs Show obviously has 275 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: to be in that spot. Do you think he can 276 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: top the top three? 277 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 3: I don't know. 278 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: The top's pretty crowded, and you know with Real Muto 279 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 2: he struggled first half, but he's been just pretty dominant, 280 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: you know, the second half of the year. Varshow obviously 281 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: quietly putting up the good power speed. You have Will 282 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: Smith too to think about. 283 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 3: So it's tough. 284 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 2: I think Kirk probably is four or five, and you also, 285 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 2: I think about ADLEI like Adley's second half has been incredible, 286 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: So a lot of talent at catch, so it's tough. 287 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: Kirks just as talented and can produce, but you certainly 288 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: have Real Mutwo and far Show at the top. Thanks 289 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 2: to their still in the base potential on speed exactly. 290 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: And I just want to point out, boy, dang in here, 291 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 2: drop the comment. Any comment you guys have. Will try 292 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: to answer a couple questions at the end here could 293 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: be prospect related, might make a lot of sense with 294 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 2: me and Claig on here on a little Chris and 295 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: Chris action. 296 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: But just throwing it out to you guys. In nineteen 297 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: ninety seven, this day in baseball, Phillies Kurt Shilling struck 298 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: out nine and the Phillies went over the New York 299 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: Mets to become the thirteenth pitcher since nineteen hundred with 300 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: three hundred strikeouts in a season. When was the last 301 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: three hundred strikeout season? Do we know? Was it recent? 302 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: I feel like it wasn't. 303 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: When no idea To be honest. 304 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm strike out because I feel like to me, that 305 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: is one of the most impressive markers that we can 306 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: get here. Let's see three hundred strikeout seasons in baseball. 307 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: It sure's here to it. 308 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: Let's see rand look in here, it's not see it's 309 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: not breaking This is just breaking down the people that 310 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: have done it. Yeah, I'm gonna say if this is Okay, 311 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: Verlander did it in ninety. This is why Verlander did 312 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: it in twenty nineteen where he hit the three hundred 313 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: strikeout marker and Garrett Cole also did it in nineteen. 314 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: Sureser did it in eighteen, Sail in seventeen. So it's 315 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: like you might get one or two a year, but 316 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: we haven't had it obviously with the COVID season and 317 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: then in twenty fifteen Kershaw. But I think those are 318 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: the only ones in the last Yeah, those are the 319 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: only ones in the last like twenty ish years or 320 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: so that have pulled up a three hundred strikeout season 321 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: until Spencer Strider does it next. 322 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 3: Year, you know what I mean, love bat. 323 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: Let's go through some stat heroes, y'all. Mancata now four 324 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: to five with the homer and RBI two runs, Brandon 325 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: Marsh a perfect four for four with two rbi, Essak 326 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: Parades had a bomb, Kutel Marte had a rare performance 327 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: of offensive output two for three with a homer. Brianday 328 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: Lacruz had a home run. Aristevie's a keen Eale the 329 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: punisher has been doing so lately. We're talking about him 330 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: on itl and how he's just getting playing time right now, 331 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: and he's going Homer, Carlos, Koreahanamer Saladar prez uh led Me, 332 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,119 Speaker 1: His Diaz and Yasmani Grandal. Do you have hope for Aristides? 333 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: I think it's no no doubt right now. Aristia is 334 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: a ken is a guy you go pick up write 335 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: a hot hand if you're looking for Homer's. Do you 336 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be anything for him next season? 337 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: You know, I have no clue with what direction the 338 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: Reds are going to go. There. 339 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: Certainly there could be a spot. 340 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: I mean, he's had his streaks where he certainly looks valuable, 341 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: But I just fear that's what it's going to be 342 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: with him. It's just going to be these hot streaks 343 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: that we ride out for a couple of weeks to 344 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: a month, and that's kind of it. I think the 345 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: playing time's probably going to be inconsistent with him. 346 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of a bye. Also, you know, Brandon 347 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: marsh is one of those players that this new destination 348 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: has just been such a good spot for him. I 349 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: don't know if Also, you know the learning aspect of 350 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: working with Harper, you know, like Harper and Casianos have 351 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: both been players that you know, have had a lot 352 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: of tutelage with guy. Bryce Harper has worked with Bryson 353 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: Stott and Alec Bohm and is trying to be in 354 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: the leader and they just seems to be a new 355 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: home for Brandon marsh and it seems to be it 356 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: seems to be like a relevant fantasy destination, which I 357 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: think is apparent. And Es SoC Parates, it's just you know, 358 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: I love you SoC Prates. He does it on the 359 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: pitching side. Dre Jamison five strikeouts, as we mentioned, only 360 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: one walk, two hits over seven. Carlos Carrasco six innings, 361 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: struck out eleven. He had two walks and four hits. 362 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: Lance McCullers, who I think was on our prop marker 363 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: last week or last show. Lance McCullers went six, struck 364 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: out eleven in two hits, but he did walk four. 365 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: Shane McClanahan in that return five innings, five strikeouts, a 366 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: walk in a couple hits, and Chase Anderson went five, 367 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: struck out three on the stat zeros on you know 368 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: Cruise he had three strikeouts with four can you believe 369 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: it he can? I'll bet you those strikeouts though I'll 370 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: bet you the velocity of the bat that swung through 371 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: those balls were the fastest in all of baseball. I'll 372 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: bet no one has swung harder and faster through probably 373 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: horrible pitches than Onell Cruise, So let's give him. Give 374 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: him some credit. Guys, nobody swings through them better than O'Nell. 375 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: Ben Gammel and Jake Swinsky also o for three with 376 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: three strikeouts. On the pitcher side, Hunter Gaddis four innings, 377 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: seven earned runs, gave up five homers. I don't I 378 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: don't know when the last time we've had a five 379 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: homer game here and JT. Brewbaker three innings, five earned 380 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: runs with a home run. I think I think we 381 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: liked this. Wonky set this up by the way she 382 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: does the show she which, by the way, we should 383 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: always give a hand a hand to Wonky for the 384 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: great show stuff puts together. And and I just dull 385 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,239 Speaker 1: up a few things later, But he did. Do you 386 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: like how I led with cruz Wels? That is my 387 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: gift to you. Wonkey did that, And yes I do, 388 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: of course, And again if you know again, I hope 389 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm around even more after this season ends. But like 390 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna see a turn next season where I will 391 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: be I will be more pro onell cruise. I just 392 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: was never pro this season on a rookie year. Where 393 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: where have you stood on the only all cruise front? 394 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure we've talked about that clig. I've never 395 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: gone as high as some prospect people. 396 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: I feel like somebody just pushed him up like crazy 397 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 2: towards the end of last season, and then you know, 398 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 2: he had that stretch when he came up where he 399 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 2: just dominated and everybody just went as ieric like this 400 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 2: was going to be, you know, the next coming of 401 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 2: whichever player you want to name, was going to be elite, 402 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 2: and I just wasn't quite buying end. You know, the 403 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 2: long levers, the swing and miss, there were some some concerns. 404 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 2: The power speed undeniable, but you have to make good 405 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: contact to be able to get to that, and that's 406 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: been my concern. I think he'll be fine, but I 407 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: don't think he's going to be elite. Honestly, probably not, 408 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 2: probably not, but well I don't know. 409 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean I say you know, and I say probably not. 410 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: I have to take that back. That's it's again, that's 411 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: my brain into this year because if the right changes 412 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 1: are made, He's got the skill set of a player 413 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: that could be the number one overall Fantasy guy. You 414 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: could easily drop a thirty thirty season. I wouldn't be shocked. 415 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: It's just you have to make good contact. He didn't 416 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: show any of that this year. Probably come up into 417 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: the near future. Franzosco. Look at some home run calls yesterday. 418 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: Oh boy, Kat Fox, the leader is the only person 419 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: on the board who would have been on the board 420 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: if I had a piece of art to show you. 421 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: Guys that had a home run with Salvi Perez now 422 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: a three home run lead, trying to move away.

The number one bet of all 459 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: of them on betting pros prop cheat sheet is Mike 460 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: Trout today is sporting a one total base. It's a half, 461 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: so you need to get one. He's projected at two 462 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: and a half. On bet MGM. It is juice though 463 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: at minus one eighty five, but you just need one 464 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: hit today. Now. MGM also has the number one plus 465 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: money play according to betting Pro's algorithm, and that's Derimus 466 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: Garcia with the a's. We've seen him multiple times. Just 467 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: got to get one. He's projected at one and a half. 468 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: But you got to get one total base if you 469 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: want to play some total bas props. If you want 470 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: to go to the strikeouts, these are really good. Justin 471 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: Verlander's return has him having the number one strikeout prop 472 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: of the day on Fan Duel minus one thirty four. 473 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: You just need six strikeouts. That's it. They're projecting him 474 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: at seven to three and it's five and a half 475 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: is the number. Love that bet, And Robbie Ray is 476 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: your plus money play of the day versus LA. Six 477 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: and a half is the number you need seven And 478 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: on DraftKings they're giving you plus one fifteen. So Clig, 479 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: what do you think here? Anything that you're gonna dance with? 480 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: Multiple We've got Robbie Ray and Verlander on the strikeouts, 481 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: Dermis and Mike Trout on the total bases. 482 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: A Trout one on a total basis a pretty easy one, 483 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: even though, as you mentioned, mine twenty eighty five. But still, 484 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 2: it's been insane what Trout's done since coming back. You know, 485 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 2: he's got ninety eight played appearance since coming back, with 486 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 2: eleven home runs, three eleven average, three sixty seven OVP 487 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: seven eleven slug by the way, So he's just been 488 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 2: insanely good. So feel pretty confident with him hitting you know, 489 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 2: one total base today as he's been you know, consistently 490 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: doing that. 491 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: Uh. 492 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 3: The Dermis one is tough. I'm not sure that I 493 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: love it. 494 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: I do like both of the strikeout props, though, I 495 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 2: feel pretty good about Verlander coming back. Usually I'm not 496 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 2: one to go crazy for pitchers coming back from injury, 497 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 2: but with Verlander, you know, he hasn't missed that much time, 498 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 2: and you've seen what he's done this year. I feel 499 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: pretty good projecting the over on five and a half half, 500 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 2: and though Robbie Ray's had some inconsistencies, He's going over 501 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 2: six and a half in most of his starts recently, 502 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: I know, is the last two he hasn't. Atlanta had 503 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 2: six and then against Cleveland he had three. But I 504 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: do feel pretty good about that going against the Angels 505 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 2: lineup kind of men. So I like both the Verlander 506 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 2: and Ray and then the Mike Trout option as well. 507 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's a little bummer like the three 508 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: bet I'm not really interested in the Dermis one. I 509 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: really like the other three. They're all from different books, though, 510 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 1: so just check it out. You know, if you're going 511 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: to bet MGM, who's got the Trout one, they probably 512 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: have something similar on Verlander and Robbie Ray. The Verlander 513 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: one is when I would probably target, you know, guy 514 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: returning from injury. I totally get it. But as far 515 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: as a matchup goes, it's a great matchup. This is 516 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: a player that one's healthy, he gets back, he can 517 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: go seven. Reminds me of like the Clayton Kershaw one. 518 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: So I would love to pair Trout and Verlander together today. 519 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: And like I said, I bet you MGM has got 520 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: something similar to what FanDuel is putting out for Verlander. 521 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: Those would be two I would put. So I kind 522 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: of dig those over On the DFS side, we did 523 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: have some good We have both some prices on DraftKings 524 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: and FanDuel today. DraftKings Verlander was eleven, Max Freed ten 525 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: to one, Robbie Ray nine to eight, and Flaherty is 526 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: around seven. If you want to go over to FanDuel 527 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: for your locked in solo player, Verlander's around eleven, same 528 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: price actually as Draft Kings Max Free ten to four, 529 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: just a notch above Robbi Raised a little bit more 530 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: expensive at ten to six. And you also have Lucas 531 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: gi Alito at nine if you're wanting to put together. 532 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: I didn't do the five implied runs because it's you know, 533 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: it's the teams that you expect, it's the astros, it's 534 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: the cards, all that. But I did look at some 535 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: of the higher implied run totals that are close to 536 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: that that might be a little bit more juicy, and 537 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: the White Sox, the Mariners and the Marlins might be 538 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: a couple teams. You might want to look for some 539 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: stacks on that you can put some players that are 540 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: high in the lineup. I think that would be pretty good. 541 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: We had one question to answer, and dang it said, 542 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: what the heck happened to a story? U? He was 543 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: gonna steal me thirty bases, then got trade to Washington 544 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: and the Soto deal. He has one steal since he's 545 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: actually a story Rees was traded to the Brewers. He's yeah, 546 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: he's with the Brewers. He actually still five bases in 547 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: a minor league game the other day. Leads the entire 548 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: minor leagues in stolen bases. So I think you might 549 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: have the players confused. Maybe you were thinking of cj. Abrams. 550 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: I'm thinking you're thinking of CJ. Abrams there and not 551 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: his story. But speaking of his story, any thoughts on 552 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: his story moving forward into next season with his seventy 553 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: plus stolen bases, I. 554 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: Mean, the steals are certainly enticing the powers, I guess 555 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 2: kind of my question with what kind of power does 556 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: he get to does it hinder him from being Fantasy relevant? 557 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 2: And I think that's really the biggest question that I have. 558 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: And we saw a little power breakout from him this year, 559 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 2: and I'm just not sure how much of it is 560 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 2: legit based on the hitting environment that he was in in. 561 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 3: Both Double and Triple A with the Padres. 562 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 2: So the field of hits good though, and they stolen bases, 563 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: you're kind of undeniable. So Ruiz has been a tough 564 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: one for me to rank. It seems like he should 565 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: get regular run in the Brewers Org. But again, that 566 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 2: outfield's kind of stacked with just like mediocre guys that 567 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: they liked running out. So I mean, you have Yelich 568 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: and then they're playing of wide variety of guys. Plus 569 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: they're loaded in Triple A at this point, South Relic 570 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 2: and Joey Weimer and I mean, Jackson Surio's coming, So 571 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 2: it's tough to know what they're gonna do with Ruiz. 572 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see. JP had a question Bubba Thompson or 573 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: Frayley head to head cat. 574 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 2: I think it depends on you know what you think 575 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: you need more, I mean, you know what you're gonna 576 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 2: get from Thompson is going to be still on basis 577 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 2: Frayley's a little more well rounded at least from the 578 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 2: power speed standpoint, could give you a couple steals, but 579 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 2: more likely to get some homers. So I think it 580 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: comes down to just need personally. 581 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think thing was saying Ruiz had fifty 582 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: before the break dropped him. For James Wood, that is 583 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: that is the correct move. Still James Wood in a 584 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: long term as good. But yeah, with the Bubba Thompson thing, 585 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: and they go the last two weeks, Bubba Thompson's had 586 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: seven stolen bases and he had a couple of multi ones, 587 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: so steals, it's hands down Bubba. But Fraley hits at 588 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: the top of the lineup great against I want to 589 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: say it was against lefties, So Frehley is a good pickup. 590 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: I think for overall, Bubba is your stolen bass play. 591 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: It's like a no brainer. There, there's some good questions 592 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: and let's go over to the home run call. Now 593 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: check this out. Wonky is going with Julio Rodriguez and 594 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: listen because of our early co host of the show. Oops, 595 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez. Yes he was here, just a tiny bit Ago. 596 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: I gotta go with Julio today. Julio's gotta be my call. 597 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: It was it's destiny that I ride with Wonky here 598 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: for Julio Rodriguez because he joined the show. Mayor has 599 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: got Vladdie Cleig. Who do you want for your home 600 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: run call for the day? 601 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,959 Speaker 2: I'm going with uh, Man, this is uh. 602 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: I feel like you should go with Ozzy. Albi's in 603 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: the front of your community. You should you should be 604 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 1: having your player. 605 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean possibly, but I don't know, man, I 606 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 2: don't know what to expect him coming back, So you 607 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 2: know what, I'm going to go with ord On Alvarez, 608 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 2: who has two home runs over the last four games 609 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 2: and pretty good matchup tonight against Adrian Martinez where he's 610 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: kind of home run prone and it's in Houston, so 611 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 2: I like that. 612 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: I also think Von Grissom should have a homer today 613 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: being moved to the outfield. Here's one last good question. 614 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: Go cards Web versus the Dodgers or Montas versus Milwaukee. 615 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Montas versus Milwaukee. 616 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to lean Mantas as well, even though 617 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 2: he's kind of been less than stellar. 618 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 3: But I would go that. 619 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: Way, Clig, what do you got going on? What's going down? 620 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: Not too much, man, just a season wraps up, kind 621 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 2: of wrapping up regular season content. We've got two more 622 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 2: quick grades, man, we got this week's and then we'll 623 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: have one more full week. So sad that you know 624 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: the season's winding down, but hey, the Dynasty stuff never ends, 625 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 2: and that's what I love about Dynasty. Balls, prospect evals 626 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: and Dynasty work is all year and that's what I'll 627 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: working on. 628 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 3: This wraps up, so this is very very true. 629 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 1: I've also got James Anderson from RotoWire coming on with 630 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: me to break down the end of the season. The 631 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: AFL rosters are getting released today, one full, one half, 632 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: so I will probably do a second prospect one episode 633 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: if people are into the prospects that are for Dynasty. 634 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: To make sure you subscribe to that.
