I think the last time that 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.560 we did this was when I podcasted from Heaven, so 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.880 I upgraded. I upgraded for today, so I'm excited to 0:00:58.880 --> 0:00:59.280 be back. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.680 Yeah, you have the Betting Pros backdrop. You have very 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.000 for people watching on YouTube. She has very fun red 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:10.960 glasses that match her Cubs jacket, much more stylish than 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.080 the guy wearing a black shirt with a navy blue hat. 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.679 But I've been told that navy blue and black you 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.959 can do that. Now. It's not like it's no longer 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.399 like a fashion, no note, You're allowed to do it. 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.000 So I take full advantage and do it all the time. Absolutely, 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:31.000 all right, So you're all you all have the pleasure 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.040 of having me hosts today, and everyone knows how wonderful 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.200 and energetic a host I am. And so let's get 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.880 right into it, and let's do so this first segment. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.160 You know, for people who are new to it or 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.000 people coming back, the cycle used to be like one 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.440 long video, but now it's split into threes. And so 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.480 you're going to kind of like have him released over 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.440 the weekend on both audio and video, so you can 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.840 get him in kind of like smaller, more digestible segments 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.880 for the n season version, which we think works well. 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.200 This first segment we're going to do rounding the bases 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.800 and up first. I have a couple of players I 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.640 wanted to talk about that I put in there in 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.560 the first note. I put in there that you seem 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.280 like you might have some thoughts on is Sandy alcontre 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.840 cooked because I know I recently wrote him up as 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.799 a buy low and since then things have not gone well. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:24.799 They've actually gone even worse, and it's concerning. I would say, 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.600 but what's your concern level, And I would send the 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.880 question to you, is Sandy Lgandra cooked or or is 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:33.800 he still a by low? 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.040 Yeah? When you put that in there and I told you, 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.600 I'm like, well, that should be a short conversation because 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.080 I fear that he is. I don't like any of 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.600 the numbers that he's been putting up lately. And that 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.920 is coming from someone I was really really high on 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.239 him in draft season. So it is that is an 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.280 l that I am pretty much taking on my first 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:01.680 if I am concerned about everything control speed, it's he's 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.480 just getting hit so hard that it just doesn't look 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.680 like he's he's back, and I wonder if he can 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.040 make it further back. So yeah, right now, I mean 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.360 you can buy him low, but you need to buy 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:17.600 like we're talking like low, like Jake McCarthy low. So 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.560 be very very careful. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.720 Yeah. I would bet in some shaller leagues he's he's 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.320 dropped too, because I know a couple of weeks ago, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.880 in the YouTube comments and on Discord, people were already 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.720 asking if they could drop him, and I was like, no, no, 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.680 he's going to turn things around, but he's a bilo, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.080 don't dare drop him. And then he did. He did 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.920 throw a quality start against the Reds in there, not 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.600 like his most efficient start, but it was fine, and 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.160 then he just got chased out of the building by 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.400 the Dodgers. Two and two thirds innings, seven are in runs, 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:52.280 five walks, two strikeouts, seven hits allowed. It was it 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.520 was as ugly as it gets. And like I said, 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:56.960 I'm someone who wrote him up as like a Bilow. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.440 I was like, the stuff still looks okay here. I 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.520 just think he needs to find his control. I'm still 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.360 kind of in that in that boat where, like you know, 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.520 it's hard to say in LEAs where I need pitching. 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.640 I don't know what I'm willing to give up to 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.160 get him. It's kind of more of like if you 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.560 drop him, I'll pick him up, but I'm not going 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.159 to trade anything meaningful for him right now, unless it's 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.919 like unless we're flipping you know, like a like a 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.480 bi low hitter, Like I don't know, maybe would you 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.919 do like a Christian Walker or is that even that 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.040 too much to give up for him? 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:32.360 Right now? 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.120 That's way too much to give up for him, I think. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.479 I mean, I'm looking at his stack cast, like his 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.719 you know, his era is currently eight point three one. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.080 His expected era is just it's lower, but at six 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.240 point four one, his you know, he's still got a 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.800 great ground ball percentage, but his hard hit percentage is 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.080 like forty six point four and you're just not going 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:51.920 to be able to survive with that. And his walk 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:56.159 rate is like fourteen something, which is six points higher 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.400 than his normal career average. And you know, if you're 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.279 giving up a war and letting everybody hit the ball 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.160 freaking hard off, you like, where's where's that going to go? 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.200 So no, no, not Christian Walker. Joey p would would 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.800 be yelling at you at this point, like bro me, 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:13.960 you think I think he would brow you in pretty hard. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.479 Yeah, so that's fair. I'm just I'm trying to be 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.680 more optimistic. His velocity is also down, but like not 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.920 down a ton, it's down like a mile per hour. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.400 Maybe it's a little bit less than mile per hour. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.800 I just kind of feel like he's gonna get back, 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.760 Like I also am holding out hope that I mean, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.320 this is this could not be going worse for the 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.839 Marlins as a team. That is like definitely going to 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.719 trade him this year because of the of like the 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.920 range of outcomes here. There's one, maybe he's still hurt 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.880 or you know, dealing with something either like you know, 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.000 still not all the way back from his injury, or 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.520 dealing with some other injury. There's two. It's just that 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.760 he's just not the same picture anymore, because even like 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.240 he was really he was good in twenty twenty three, 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.400 but like not like he was, you know, and a 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:02.880 lot of us chalk that up to, like, you know, 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.479 that was kind of like leading up to the Tommy 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.240 John surgery. A lot of times you're dealing with something 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.440 before that diagnosis because you're like, you know, whether it's 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.880 your velocity or control, like something is just doesn't feel 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.080 right and that can affect the numbers. So I know, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.599 I was kind of like buying into that. I was like, no, 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.800 those numbers are inflated just because of the injury, and 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.080 now he's going to be back, so there's the possibility 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.120 he's just not going to ever be at that pre 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.720 twenty twenty three level anymore, which is definitely a real possibility. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.479 And then there's the possibility that he turns things around, 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.480 and they really need that to happen as a team 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:37.800 now that it really matters for the Marlins, They're always 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.560 going to do what they're gonna do and not spend money, 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.560 but they need him to be good so they can 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.640 they can trade him, which is what I'm really banking 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.240 on in fantasy, because right now, even if you acquire him, 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.480 you're not going to get any wins within pitching for 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.000 the Marlins. So you know, I would love for him 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.040 to go do somewhere like my Red Sox if he 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.000 can turn things around. I assume the Dodgers will probably 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.920 acquire him for nothing and just like add him as 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.120 like their SP nine just in case. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:09.000 Sure. When Justin Steele went down, I immediately texted my 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.120 dad and brother and was like, go get al Contra. 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.320 And you know, of course now now I'm taking the 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.040 l from them too, So yeah, it is. It's ugly, 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.360 but I could see him the SP nine in LA. 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:21.280 I think that's perfect. 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.720 If we'll talk about this in another segment, But I 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.520 feel like if I'm a major league team right now, 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.800 I might call the Marlins and see what the price 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:29.840 is because I don't want to wait for it to 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.920 go up, and like, you know, I might rather like 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.280 see if as an mL you know, like it's the 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:34.840 one thing in fantasy to buy a low but as 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.920 an MLB team, i'd give a call. They'll probably hang 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.440 up on you and be like, no, we can't trade 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:43.280 this bag of rocks right now for for what you're 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:47.360 offering the other player. I want to talk about someone 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.360 that I've talked about a lot, a lot in the 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.360 off season, and I took a lot of heat for 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.760 the amount of shares I have of him because everyone 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.720 knows that what happens every single year. And that's Mike 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:02.600 Trout who left the game, uh yesterday, this we're recording 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.280 on Thursday. He left the game Wednesday with knee soreness, 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.679 the same surgically repaired knee from from last year. Not great. 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.400 They said, it's precautionary. But don't love that, you know, 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.960 don't love Don't love him leaving a game. Nope, And 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.119 I you know, I tweeted it out like we almost 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.560 made it to May. We almost. We had a full 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.160 April out of him. We almost made it to May, 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.760 and like the batting average wasn't good, but we already 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.800 had a bunch of home runs. I put in the 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:33.440 sheet everybody panic. I know, you know, my fantasy baseball 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.080 strategy this year was essentially Mike trot or bust because 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.800 I took him at what I considered to be a 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.120 value in so many leagues that you know, if he 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:46.160 went down, it wasn't gonna be pretty for me. I 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.000 don't even know what to ask you there. I feel 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.320 like I know what your what your thoughts on thoughts are, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.600 what's your level of concern here for for you know, 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.080 the other said it's just precautionary, but it's that same knee. 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.199 Yeah, I mean, I feel like nothing with Trout is 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.680 every precautionary. I think it always turns into like caution 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:07.160 and then panic and then he's gone till July. It's 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.439 I think it wasn't this almost a year to the day, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.520 because I had him last year, and I swear he 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.280 got into it on like April twenty ninth. Yeah, because 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.360 I made I made kind of the same thing where 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.600 I was like, well, almost got to May. I drafted 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.960 him nowhere because it was just I was risk averse 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.080 this year, mostly for having to deal with it last year. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.080 So no, I thought of you instantly, I was just like, oh, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.680 that is every league for him. And then I realized 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.960 we got to do this podcast, and I'm like, I'm like, oh, perfect, exactly, 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.559 like this is just this is you know, this is 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.680 him this, and I feel terrible for him. He's a 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.240 great player, but from a fantasy perspective, it's just, you know, 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.720 availability is important, and here we go. 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.880 So exactly, good luck. Yeah, he played twenty nine games 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.719 last year and none of them were in May, so 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.160 it must have been like right around the same day. Yeah, 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.000 seems like a really you know, he's a great player, 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.160 seems like a really nice kid Eagles fan. I love that. 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.360 I love that about him. But yeah, I mean I 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.280 knew the risk I was taking when I drafted him, 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.000 but I felt like he was going late enough that 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:10.400 I was like, even if I get like a half 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.040 a season out of him, it's still worth it. But 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.800 only getting April out of him would not be ideal. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.640 And kind of like you said, they're saying it's just precautionary, 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.079 but like it feels like in the past he would 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.160 like miss a game and they're like, oh, it's just 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.240 precautionary and then like done for the year, like we 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.920 just don't see him again. It's like, oh, actually that 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.720 Soornie needs to be amputated and so you know, we 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.959 don't ever see him again. Yeah, it doesn't feel good 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:37.920 to be someone who has Mike Drout and just about 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.320 every league. Did you also see I put it in 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:41.400 the sheet. I don't know if you clicked on it. 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.040 Did you also see, like if any team, any MLB 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.079 team was going to do this, it would be the Angels. 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.640 Did you see what happened with their pitchers yesterday? 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:49.320 I did not. 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.719 I didn't even know this was a rule. You know, 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.120 I've been watching baseball a long time. I didn't even 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.200 know this was like a rule. And credit to the umpires. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:59.680 I don't know if they had to like call someone 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:01.959 or if they just like knew this, but credit to 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.160 them for knowing. Because the Angels had two pictures go 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.720 out to the mound at the same time. They had 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.320 Ryan Johnson from the dugout and Jake Eater I guess 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.360 this is his name from the bullpen, and so it 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.360 was like Spider Man me, like two pitchers standing on 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.720 the mound, and then I guess by Rule Johnson, who 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.920 came from the dugout, had to face at least one batter. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:26.920 But I was just like, you know, we're already gonna 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.720 talk about Mike Trout. What is more Angels and dysfunction 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.000 than sending two pictures to the mound? Something that never 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:34.560 even happened to me in Little League. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.760 I think about the Angels sometimes just in terms of, 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.120 you know, yeah, the Rockies are terrible, the White Sox 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:44.040 are historically terrible, the Marlins are terrible. But you look 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.520 at the Angels and it's just always that question of 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.240 like the talent is occasionally there and has been there 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.960 kind of consistently, and just nothing and weird stuff like 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.480 this happens to them and you're just you're just kind 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.000 of it amazes me, Yeah, I guess. And for them 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.120 to be, you know, down the road from the Dodgers, 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.920 I'm kind of like, you know, you could just copy that, 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.920 but obviously they're not going to do that. So yeah, 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.480 it's very angel That is a very Angels thing because 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.800 it's just weird, not dumb, just weird. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.480 Yeah, And they're just this organization where it just like 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.280 never goes well and they're not even one of those 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.120 organizations that's extremely cheap. They're not like the Marlins, like 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.520 they spend money. They just spend it poorly. They spend right. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.800 Yeah, I mean the rendn't contract alone, like you know, 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.600 you just you just kind of look at it going there. 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.280 They went after talent. They just never bothered to ask 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:34.320 if he liked baseball. 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.000 Yeah, that seems like an important part of the interview 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.559 because it seems like the answer is now, and he 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:45.920 basically said now.

One thing, 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.719 since I'm in like eight or nine leagues this year, 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.880 one thing I really enjoy about it is if there's 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.840 like a new player that's going to be available on waivers, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.840 whether it's like a prospect or someone I want to add. 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.320 You know, I have like a couple daily leagues where 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:26.840 I can just go and see he's available real quick. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.520 But I can just go and like put his name, 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.080 type his name into Fantas Bros. And pull up all 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.440 my leagues and see like, okay, he's a free agent 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.880 in this league. I have him in this league already. 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:37.680 Another team has him in this league. And so that's 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.880 a really cool feature that I feel like, we's your 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.240 promote more because I find it very cool. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.840 M Yeah, for sure. I have a couple of leagues 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.760 that are on platforms that can't sink yet, and one 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.480 of them, I'm just like, can we just please move 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.720 this to Yahoo so I can just go in every 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.080 day and be like line upset. Thank you. It just 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.360 makes everything so much easier if you play in more 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.880 than one league. So platform is that Oh fan tracks? 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:02.920 Oh you can't sing for it. 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.520 We can't do lineup position with fan tracks yet. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.480 Oh but you can still Yeah you can still see the. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.640 You can still see it. It's just I mean, I'm 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.880 I'm uber lazy. I wanted to just do it for me, 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:15.520 And there's a button in there that you can literally 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.960 just hit right, So I mean the lineup system's perfect. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:18.560 Do it? 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.480 I got youa Yeah, I thought you could sink it 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.360 all no, you can sing, because I have all my 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:27.320 Dynasty leagues are on fan tracks, mostly because sleeper reduces 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:32.960 to add baseball. All right, second base Here, we run 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.760 the first round a second I put in picture returns here, 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.840 and so a few of these pictures have already returned 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.600 and a few are returning soon. And so I'm going 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.000 to kind of get your thoughts on them. I don't 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.680 know we need to rank them rest of season, but 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.920 we can kind of gauge your interest on them rest 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.880 of season. So I'll just run through the list and 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.720 then i'll talk it to you. So Tony Gonsolin top 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.960 of the list because he returned last night for the 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.200 Dodgers and looked really good. Six shut out innings, six hits, 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:03.760 nine strikeouts, exactly what you wanted from Tony Gonslin. Lucas 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.280 Giolito returned last night as well. He looked really really 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.680 good for five and two thirds innings and then really 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.160 not great for one third of an inning. It looked 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.320 like he was also on his way to six shot 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.560 out innings, and then he kind of got squeezed at 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:24.720 one point and then he walked. I forget who he walked. 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.200 I'm forgetting now, But he basically walked one batter, I 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.840 guess it was maybe George Springer, and then on an 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.200 O two count he was trying to put Dalton Varshaw away, 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.640 and you could he was. He had like pinpoint control 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.800 all night. He was just like dotting his fastball and 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.600 his The broadcast actually kind of jinxed him because I 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:42.720 was watching the game and they were like, you know, 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.560 he hasn't even like missed with any of these change ups. 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.560 He's really like getting it down on his own. And 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.720 then it was like boom. He tried throwing an O 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.080 two change up like you didn't want to throw it 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.120 in the zone, and we're right down the middle that 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.760 one for a two run home run. The next batter, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.120 Alejandro Kirk, who I believe you had in the leading 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.960 off home run con test, also homeward, and so he 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.320 went from six shot out innings to six innings three 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.200 earned runs in a flash. And then also to add 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.880 insult injury, the Red Sox had a six nothing lead 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.240 that the bullpen then lost, and the Red Sox not 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.080 only did Geolito not get the win, but the Red 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.080 Sox also ended up losing the game in extras. But 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:27.119 still despite all that stuff. A really exciting debut for Geoledo. 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.840 I thought, I'm not really sure what to expect from 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.600 him coming out, but he looked pretty good. Tobias Myers 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.399 has now been back for two starts. He's someone that 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.400 I added in a bunch of leagues, not a high ceiling, 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.760 but someone who I feel just was solid last year, 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.119 like much more solid than I anticipated. Not very solid 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.200 in his two starts back six between over the course 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.760 of his two starts six total innings, four and runs, 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.119 seven walks, five strikeouts. So I'll stop there. Those are 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.680 the three that have already returned, and then I'll stop there. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:04.680 Thoughts on any of those three, either like their debuts 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:06.360 or rest of season value. 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.200 I mean, I like Gonsolin, uh not for the strikeouts. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.480 I think that if he can just kind of keep 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.040 doing that the whip in the one point zero to 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.119 one point one five range, I will take that because 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.920 the win equity with the Dodgers is so high. But 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.080 but the warning obviously is like he's not going to 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.239 strike out nine guys every game. He's probably won't come 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.119 close for the rest of the season unless he figured 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.760 something out that we don't know about. But I laughed. 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.280 I laughed the Patriots Day when the Red Sox play, 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.119 you know, at four o'clock in the morning, because I 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.959 feel like, like three years in a row, Gilito started 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.480 that game and like for the White Sox or for 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.359 the Red Sox, and they were he was so bad, 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.880 And when he pitches in the morning, I just laughed 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.959 because I was expecting him. But yeah, I mean he's 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:56.080 he's a dangerous pitcher, I feel like for fantasy because 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.080 he's he's going to have games where he blows up, 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:03.320 but he's one where that strikeout rate should stay, you know, 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.040 a strikeout Perennian somewhere in there, which is good. And 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.560 then with Myers, I have him in a couple of 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.680 leagues as well. You just sort of have to eat 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.640 the whip he's going to give you because he's also 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:16.840 going to strike out. When he gets against teams that 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.000 strike out at a high rate, he will get them, 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:23.200 but he's also going to walk them. So it's a 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.639
