1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: This is a lot.

2
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: He's say your legs, the girls prizing sits here, we

3
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: will sit you tow's the garner up the music.

4
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: Wednesday, September twenty fifth. It's a mail bag Wednesday. I'm

5
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 3: arm lighton. He's Peter Apple. It's the Just Baseball Show.

6
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: And we've got a ton of really fun questions today. Peter,

7
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: how are we doing doing well? It's a September twenty first.

8
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: I think it's the solstice of something, right, it's September

9
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: twenty fifth. I think sad twenty fifth. Yeah, he said

10
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: twenty fifth. I think it's September twenty first means something?

11
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Does it mean something? Right?

12
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: Doesn't know the ends of summer? I think your reason retrograde.

13
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: I see that on Twitter a lot. Do you know

14
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: what that means?

15
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: Not even slight?

16
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 3: Apparently it's supposed to impact your day to day. Like

17
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: I saw the tweet, context was like, retrograde's really kicking.

18
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: My ass right now. I'm like, get out of here.

19
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: I've been winning bets. Maybe it's good that it's in retrograde. Dude.

20
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: If we start getting you studying like the lunar patterns,

21
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 3: I don't even know what you call that.

22
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: Just astrology. I'll lose my shit. You have to bet

23
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: baseball these days, it's so tough. That's why I've been

24
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: limiting the amount of bets I've been putting out because

25
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: you have no idea right Like, for example, I'm on

26
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: the Astros today against the race. You're gonna hear this

27
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: the next day. Sometimes I like to talk it out

28
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: to hear my reasoning the next day after it happens.

29
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Like right now, the Ashros are ahead one zero, and

30
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of people told me that was a dumb

31
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: bet today because the Astros clinched already, you got shame

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: plan a hand. The raise are big favorite, And I

33
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: was just like, wait a minute, the Ashros unless they

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: rest everyone and they only rested yord On, are they

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: just not gonna hit the ball because they clinch? Like

36
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: But then there's the aspect of it where you know,

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: Twins play the Royals, and who needs to win more

38
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: than the Twins do? But they don't match up very

39
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: well today. It's like, where do you go back? These

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: guys are pros. Yeah, I've never understood that.

41
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: I mean, there's certain circumstances, like I swear you could

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 3: lean into that, But if you think these astros guys

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 3: are just gonnah, I don't care about it. They want

44
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: to hits, they want to put up numbers regardless, and

45
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: they want to keep winning ball games. Like It's not

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: like you're going to just roll over and on the

47
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: flip side, I liked that pick from you because Ian McClanahan,

48
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: he's just still getting back from that shot. He looked okay,

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: dance out of trouble last time. I really hope he shoves.

50
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: I hope your bet hits, but just like I want

51
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: to see McClanahan at full strength. Hope he gives up

52
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: like two runs and shoves and Hobbyer shuts them out.

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: But I like that pick because I mean, you're you're

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: looking at McClanahan, You're hoping that he's going to be okay,

55
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: And now you got somebody like Frankie Montas now following

56
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 3: suit with that same shoulder injection.

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: Hopefully he can come back to it.

58
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: There's not much precedence to you guys getting rushed back

59
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: from that, and well, you know, we'll I kind of

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: see how it plays out.

61
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: I guess it's a good point. We're recording right in

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: the middle of this game, and right now it's one

63
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: zero astros Like McClanahan gave up a double the Kyle

64
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: Tucker in the first inning, but then he settled in.

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: That's something that's really what McClanahan has been doing this year,

66
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: kind of similar to Garrett Cole. The first inning just struggles,

67
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: but then you settle in and you throw five shut out.

68
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: But mcclanan is also on a pitch count. And you know,

69
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: Christian Javier being bad might be the worst take I've

70
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: ever had. Like he is. I look more at the

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: advanced over SID I was like, he is so fucking good.

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Holy shit, it's had. It's crazy, Like how much sense?

73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: Literally, it was like the second you said that though,

74
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: he like kicked it in gear, like he just leveled up.

75
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: He has been Him and Shane mclenahan have the same XCRA. Wow,

76
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I'm not five to five for Christian Navy

77
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: are two five to one for mcclenahan. Huhow and he's

78
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: that good? That's insane. And that's what I mean.

79
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about some World Series odds. That's one

80
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 3: of the questions here, just like how you would spread

81
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: your money if you could have three different bets with

82
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: ten dollars. We're gonna talk about that because it's one

83
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: of those where there's a lot of good teams, but

84
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: at the same time, the best teams are the clear

85
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: cut best teams.

86
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: So looking forward to talking about that.

87
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: Also, we're gonna start with the bad teams because I

88
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: think that's a fun thing to get out of the way,

89
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 3: and we have we have fun talking about bad teams

90
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: on here, especially Jack. Jack loves mediocre baseball. I like

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: it because usually that means prospects are involved. And also, you,

92
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: just Peter, you love to make fun of bad teams.

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: So there we go.

94
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: But I do love I like bad because I like

95
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: finding diamonds and exactly that's my favorite part, and that's

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: your favorite part of bad baseball? Like who are the

97
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: fun guys to watch on bad Baseball? Like I have

98
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: fallen in love with Spencer Steer on the Reds, Nico

99
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Lodolo another guy, like those type of players where you're like,

100
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: wait a minute, if that guy gets a good opportunity

101
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: or if that team gets good, he's going to be

102
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: at the forefront of it. That's why I always enjoy

103
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: talking about bad teams. But at the same time, I

104
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: love can we okay, before we start talking about bad

105
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: baseball for a second. The more I look at the Marlins, honestly,

106
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: the more I get upset with them. Like is the

107
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: pitching even that good? Let's be honest, like, can we

108
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: do something for a minute. This is only going to

109
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: be two minutes of the show, Like, Okay, Trevor Rodgers

110
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: has not had a good year. Did he look like

111
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: he came back and was better. Yes, but the results

112
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: on paper weren't that great. I think you and I

113
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: could both agree on that one. Pablo Lopez has not

114
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: had that good of a season. They'll just pitch Sandy

115
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: nine innings regardless, So they're just kind of running him

116
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: into the ground while he's a workhorse. Everybody is a

117
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: human being. Hasus is are to when he's on the

118
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: field is good? But when he's on the field, Edward

119
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: and he's on the field is good? Yuri pres Alien

120
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: far Off, Max Meyer, TJ. Like is the pitching because

121
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: we know they can't hit and they can't develop hitting either?

122
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: Is the pitching? Like? Are you nervous at all? Oh?

123
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: Of course I am.

124
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: Here's the thing if if Lozardo and Cabrera are healthy,

125
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: which is a big f That rotation is phenomenal. But

126
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: I think we went into this year assuming Trevor Rodgers.

127
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: Was number two. Trevor Rodgers like.

128
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 3: A legitimate, bona fide number two starter, and that guy

129
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: just basically was eliminated from the fault here like Pablo Lopez.

130
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting that much more than what we got

131
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: from Lopez. He then just set the bar so high

132
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 3: through his first couple of months and we're like, whoa

133
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: is well Pez a top thirty pitcher, and then he

134
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: kind of hit the wall and then he kind of

135
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: came back and he's more of that number three kind

136
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 3: of guy and like settle in there and that's who

137
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: he is. But he had to be that number two

138
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 3: because Rogers stunk, and I think now that Rogers has

139
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: been what he has been. Yeah, that's a very fair

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: question because if you have a healthy Rogers, you've got

141
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: Sandy Rogers, Pablo or not a healthy Rogers. So Rodgers

142
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: performing the way he's supposed to perform, that's a great three.

143
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: And then you hope that any of those aforementioned guys

144
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: can fill out four and five.

145
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Wizardo Edward Cabrera, Max Meyer, Jake Eder Uri Perez, but

146
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: here we are six Tos Sanchez forget it, and it

147
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: just seems like real either guys have gotten hurt and

148
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: then the guys that haven't gotten hurt of just taken

149
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: a fat step back. So no, I'm definitely concerned. I'm

150
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: definitely concerned. I think Trevor Rodgers will come back and

151
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: be more like Trevor Rodgers next season.

152
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: He's done for the year now. They shut him down

153
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: after a little tweak But I mean, yeah, and they're

154
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 3: going to trade from their pitching, so they better not

155
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: mess it up. But yeah, I know this team stinks.

156
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: There's a reason why they lost so many games.

157
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: I just feel like we always give it like pitchings.

158
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: Pitching is great. They just can't hit and that's the problem.

159
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: And then I was just looking into it today. I

160
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: was on TikTok Live and people were asking me about

161
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: the pitching because there was a question on it of

162
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: people saying, you know, is it is like the Marlins

163
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: pitching as good as you guys says and I'm going

164
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: through it. I'm like, we do have them a lot

165
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: of passes.

166
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: When healthy, Yes, when healthy, that's upsidewise, that rotation can

167
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: be one of the best in baseball. But that's a

168
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: big that's a big assumption, and I think belongs aren't

169
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: and that the hard way unfortunately. But thank you get

170
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: into the question.

171
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: Thank you for that. Enough enough on your team? Yeah,

172
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: because thank you. Maybe they'll be good one day.

173
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, I'm sure they will. Don Maddingly, by the way,

174
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: just said he likes JJ Bode and center. I just

175
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: saw that from my man, Isaacazooit.

176
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: He just he's been playing center his whole career, right.

177
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and negative three outs above average. I think he's

178
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: dropped two fly balls. But I'm glad Don Manningley likes

179
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: him out there. He also comps Monte Harrison to Mookie Betts.

180
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to this first question here. This

181
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: comes from Dylan Winnick thirty two on Twitter, and I

182
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: love this one because it is really crazy and telling

183
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: that we're having this conversation. The Rockies and Angels are

184
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: both sixty four in eighty three and very disappointing. Which

185
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: team do you see being better in the next three

186
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: to five years and how should each team approach the

187
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: next couple of years to try to become relevant. Again,

188
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 3: we don't need to rehash too much on the Angels,

189
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: but more so because we know what the Angels need

190
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: to do, but more so on what the how the

191
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: Angels stack up with the Rockies.

192
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: And then, honestly, I'd love to like to hear.

193
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: A little bit more of from you on what you

194
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: think the next steps are for the Rockies, who are

195
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: heading in the right direction. The Angels, I don't know

196
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: what direction they're heading in. And that's kind of what

197
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: makes this an interesting conversation.

198
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: Such an interesting conversation because this is one of the

199
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: hardest questions to answer in baseball, like many gms have tried,

200
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: and we are twenty four year olds trying to repair

201
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: franchises that have not repaired themselves through multiple executive groups.

202
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: So what we're going to try and do here is

203
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: do our best. That's all I could say. Can't be

204
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: right because no one has been right so far. But

205
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: what I can say is the Rockies have a very

206
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: solid farm. Like I've heard firsthand from you, a lot

207
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: of the under the radar guys who I'm sure you

208
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: can speak on in a second, but what I can

209
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: speak on firsthand just because I saw him in action

210
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: as Zach Vien, who I'm in love with I think

211
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: he was. It's so tough to gauge a futures game

212
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: and to say, oh, he was the most impressive at

213
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: a futures game is one thing. Then there's I think

214
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: another thing where I go back and I'm I was

215
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: so impressed with him in that one game. So then

216
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: I go and I look at video and I actually

217
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: do a dive on Zach Vien. Couldn't love the kid more.

218
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he just looks like he could spray them

219
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: all over the ballpark. He has such a powerful, electric swing.

220
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: What I loved in the Futures Game is that he's

221
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: seeing ninety nine outside of the zone and he's punching

222
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: it to left field as a left handed batter. Like

223
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: he just looks like he has such a great approach.

224
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: He was a high profile prospect coming out of high school. Yeah,

225
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: and he's just been and he's just been electric. I

226
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how the stats are going. He's got more.

227
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: He could be better. That's the thing too. It's like

228
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: they bumped him up to double. He's getting adjusted, but

229
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 3: like he's got superstar upside, And I agree. I mean

230
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: that's a building block right there, and you talk about

231
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: what Veen is bringing to the table. Ezekiel Tovar is

232
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: probably one of the most underrated prospects in baseball. Already

233
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: in Tripa, a homeward in his first game there, has

234
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: mashed all season long, and he's a Gold Glove defender short.

235
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: I think this is one what we'll talk about when

236
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: we do next year's predictions, when we start getting into

237
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 3: that like we always do before the season. Assuming he's

238
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: got a chance to break camp, Tovar is gonna be

239
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: one of my favorite, like Jeremy Paine type of a

240
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year bets.

241
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: So I love what they've got there.

242
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: They've got a few other offensive prospects who could be

243
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 3: up relatively soon. The big question is who's going to

244
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: pitch for them, And you know they have extended some guys,

245
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: They've found ways to piece together the rotation. But I

246
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: have like a level of concern of can you ever

247
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: really build a consistently good team in Colorado when you

248
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: have to look for specific types of pitchers, Like we've

249
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 3: talked about her mom Marquez on here a lot. I

250
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: know you've gotten into it a lot about him from

251
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: a betting standpoint, but also just from like a baseball

252
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: analytical standpoint. He's so talented, but he stinks out there

253
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: because it's impossible to throw out there. He averages one

254
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: and a half homers per nine allowed because he loves

255
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: to throw the riding fastball. If your most talented pitcher

256
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: is terrible at home, how do you build a successful

257
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: team there. It's trying to play baseball in like another planet.

258
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Here's my thing with the Rockies and why I never

259
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: think that they'll actually be very good. One thing is

260
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: for certain. They will not sign big name starting pitchers.

261
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: They just won't. No one will go whether they have

262
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: the budget or not, which they have the budget for

263
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: Chris Bryant, which is going swimmingly. They don't have the budget, well,

264
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: excuse me. They do have the budget, but no starting

265
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: pitcher in their right mind will go there. If I'm

266
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: a twenty eight year old and I'm about to sign

267
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: a five to six year deal, I'd rather sign it

268
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: so many other places for less money than go to Colorado.

269
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: So what they're going to have to do is develop pitching,

270
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: and they haven't shown that they can develop pitching. So

271
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: I would rather buy stock in the Angels with like

272
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: it sucks. I don't want to buy stock in either

273
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: of these teams, but I would rather buy stock in

274
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: the Angels because I do believe in the new management

275
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: over there. We've talked about Perrysizin and how he seems

276
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: to have a good grip on this, but again we

277
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: talked about a pre recording. He made some moves at

278
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: the deadline that didn't make a ton of sense. I

279
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: like getting Logan o'happy though, exactly like they did. But

280
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: how Brandon Marsh looks like he's doing. He looks like

281
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: the guy I thought he was going to be, exactly

282
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of moves there, you know. The

283
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: rosso Iglesias move now that Jesse Chavez is back on

284
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: the braves is certainly interesting. But when I think about

285
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: what the Angels have been doing about them loading up

286
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: on young pitching, which is working, and like Redebtmers looks

287
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: like a piece published Sandoval definitely looks like a piece.

288
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: There have been guys who have come up this year

289
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: who you think to yourself, Okay, you put them behind show, Hey,

290
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: this can be a formidable rotation. And they also have

291
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: the money and free agents would sign there like you'd

292
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: sign with the Los Angeles Anger Los Angeles, they're coming

293
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: off they're coming off some bad contracts too. I would

294
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: rather buy stock in the Angels that I would the Rockies,

295
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: and it's not and that's kind of just on talent

296
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: that's already there. But then the Angels get an extra

297
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: boost because the Rockies, you're playing in a solar system

298
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: and no big name pitcher will ever come pitch for

299
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: your team.

300
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: And I think that's a great point because you also

301
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: have the challenge of you know, yes, I love what

302
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: the Rockies have prospect wise, but at the end of

303
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: the day, like those guys all have to translate Zach Feen,

304
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: we love them, we're go about him. He still has

305
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: to get it going and double, you know, and who

306
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: knows how long that's going to take. The flip side, though,

307
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: is the Angels have some brutal contracts, and you talk

308
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: about that situation that you're inheriting like you're inheriting that

309
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: Anthony Rendon contract, which now I think will take over

310
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: as the worst in Major League Baseball. But at the

311
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: same point, you have Mike Trout, who back injury seems

312
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: like an afterthought. Show Heyo Tani, we know what he

313
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: does offensively, but also is looking like a top five

314
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: pitcher in baseball with what he's been able to do.

315
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: And you mentioned Detmer's emerging as a legitimate arm. I

316
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: like a lot of the arms that they've compiled in

317
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 3: the farm system. I went into this recording thinking Rockies,

318
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: But you bring up a good point, right, how are

319
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: they going to fortify that rotation. I do like some

320
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 3: of the additions that they've made some draftees. Jaden Hill

321
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: was a great pick for them. He's so far off,

322
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 3: like they're doing the right things, and I think five

323
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: years from now it could be close. But even a

324
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 3: thirty five year old Mike Trout and a thirty two

325
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 3: year old show Heyo Tani, they're still going to be rocking.

326
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: And I'm hoping that some of these other pitchers will

327
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: will be up and be able to help them.

328
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: By then.

329
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 3: They've got some sneaky good offensive prospects. They can piece

330
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: it together. It's just too it's just too much talent.

331
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: I think in la with these Angels to say that

332
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: the Rockies are better off, but the fact that we

333
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: were even talking about these two teams, I think says

334
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: a lot. But I think we're both in agreement. You know,

335
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: we're rolling with the Angels for the next three to

336
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: five years. The star powers there just figure out a

337
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: way to build around those guys. I think that's easier

338
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: than finding pitching on the moon.

339
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Two things, One, Jeremy Pan, you just hit a three

340
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: run home run off Shane mcclann and is now four zeroshos.

341
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: Second thing, do you think Angels fans are listening to

342
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: this podcast being like, are you guys fucking comparagates to

343
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: the Rockies? Like how fucked are we? Look? We're not honest.

344
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: I'd be like if I was an Angels fan because

345
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: I love like the Angels, you know, we're gonna get

346
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: into some of the like favorite teams if it weren't

347
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: the Yankees, the favorite players of wren't the Yankees, Like

348
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: the Angels are my California team. I am always been

349
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: pro Angels. You know. I went to games as a kid.

350
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: All my friends were Dodger fans, and since I was

351
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: a Yankee fan, they always gave me shit. So I

352
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, my second favorite team is

353
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: going to be the Angels, because fuck you guys, Like

354
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: I love the Angels, I always root for the Angels.

355
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: You know, if the Yankees aren't in it, the Angels

356
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: are my team and they suck, They're horrible, And it's like, yes,

357
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: you're being compared to the Rockies right now, that's how

358
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: bad it's been. You win as many games as the

359
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: Rockies are winning with Trout and show it. It's almost worse.

360
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: It's almost worse. Rookies have an excuse they I don't

361
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: know who's running their team and they play on the moon.

362
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: The Angels that you have no excuses. You have more money,

363
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: you're in LA, you have the Stars. Yeah, you're most worse.

364
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: You're worse.

365
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: It's worse given the circumstances. And I will say that

366
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: I think the Rockies are heading in the right direction.

367
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: I think Chris Bryan's gonna bounce back a little bit.

368
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 3: We talked about that, but ultimately i'd way rather inherit.

369
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: I think that the Angel situation and piece it together

370
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: there and I think we're in agreement on that one.

371
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: Another one that's kind of about bad teams and looking

372
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: to the future, which I think this one is really

373
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: fun too. This comes from Bradley Samberg on Twitter. Out

374
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 3: of the teams that are going to finish either fourth

375
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 3: or fifth in their division this season? Which ones are

376
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: most likely to win a World Series in the next

377
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: five years? Love this question. This is one of my favorites.

378
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 3: I mean, dude, there's a lot of ways we can

379
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 3: go with this. What do you have in mind where

380
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: we talk about do you want me to list all

381
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: the teams first and then we'll go from there.

382
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: I have it in my mind, but I think it's

383
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: good if you list them all.

384
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: So let me list them all off for the listener

385
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 3: as well, so they don't have to pull up their

386
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: ESPN or MLB app to look at the standings, so

387
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 3: technically speaking, and I want to omit them from this.

388
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: The Orioles are technically a fourth place team. I want

389
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 3: to omit them from this because I am kind of

390
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: my answer right, yeah, so we can count them, but

391
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: we'll give more answers beyond that, because the Orioles are

392
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: over five hundred by six games, so it's a little ridiculous.

393
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: But you got the Orioles, the Red Sox, the Marlins,

394
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: the Nationals, the Royals, the Tigers, the Reds, the Pirates,

395
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 3: the Rangers, the Athletics, the d Backs, and the Rockies.

396
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: What do you think here.

397
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 3: Obviously, the Orioles are the best team here by a lot,

398
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: just purely record wise, they're better than some of the

399
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 3: other teams that are near the top of their other divisions.

400
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: You put the Orioles in the NL Central, they're right

401
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: there with the Brewers for second place, other than the Orioles,

402
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 3: because we know how.

403
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: Bright their future is.

404
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: And you know, everybody knows how good their farm system is,

405
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: how good Adlie is, Grayson Gunner, It's silly what they're

406
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: building there.

407
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: Who else stands out to you? So here's my issue.

408
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: I looked at all these teams and thought the Orioles

409
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: definitely have a shot, and then I looked at the

410
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: rest on them and I couldn't really find an answer.

411
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: I want to take the Reds, but I don't even

412
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: think they count because I think they're in third place.

413
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 3: Correct, the Reds are presently in fourth. I'll take the Reds.

414
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 3: Then I think that it, but like, will they ever

415
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: spend money? I'll take the Reds in this scenario because

416
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: the Reds have as bright as a future as any

417
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 3: other team in Major League Baseball within this category. You

418
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 3: look at their farm system and it's budding with talent.

419
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: You have like three top ten shortstop prospects in the

420
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 3: game right now.

421
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: You have plenty of pitching. Love what we're seeing from Lodolo,

422
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: Hunter Grenge is a is electric. They have a bunch

423
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: of arms down there ready to go as well. Ashcraft.

424
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: I know he dealt with an injury, but like he's

425
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: a good starting pitcher when it's all said and done,

426
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: and then the hitting you get steer, you get India.

427
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of them two that are going to

428
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: be in there, and I think Ellie de la Cruz

429
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: is going to be one of the next great players

430
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: in our game. I would go with the Cincinnati Reds

431
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: here if they fit the credit area of being in

432
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: fourth place, that's it. That's the team I would be

433
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: riding with. But the answer is the Orioles. It's not

434
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: even it's not even close. It's not even close. That

435
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: is the Orioles. But I agree.

436
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: I mean, when you look at the Reds also, they

437
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: have some talent already at the big league level. You

438
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 3: listed some of those guys. I mean, Tyler Stevenson, such

439
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 3: a good play has been hurt all year, lost season

440
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 3: for him, but you know, you figure he's going to

441
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: factor in long term. They have so many bats and

442
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: a lot of guys that are gonna, i think, really

443
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: be able to produce in that ballpark, but also pitchers

444
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 3: that should translate well other than Hunter Green as a

445
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: flyball pitcher. If you talk about Lodolo Ashcraft, two ground

446
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: ball guys. Andrew Abbott is another really exciting arm. They've

447
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: got Brandon Williamson, They've got a bunch of other intriguing prospects.

448
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 3: They're building something really good there. My other answer would

449
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 3: be the d Backs. We're seeing the d Backs start

450
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 3: to trend towards being a competitive team now and you

451
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 3: look at the emergence of Jake McCarthy, which is a

452
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: huge development. We just wrote something up on that on

453
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 3: just Baseball dot com about you know where, He's kind

454
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: of come out of nowhere and it's been one of

455
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: the better players in baseball flat out in the second half.

456
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 3: Ka tell Marte you figure has to be better over

457
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: the next several years. Still pretty young, but Dalton VARs show,

458
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: Christian Walker has gotten nuclear this season, Josh Rollasoks take

459
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: a piece, and then of course Corbyn Carroll Alec Thomas.

460
00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 3: I think Carrol's going to be one of the best

461
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: players in baseball soon. Alec Thomas is a really good player.

462
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: They've got Drew Jones, who you hope can climb quicker

463
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 3: than most other high school guys. And then the pitching

464
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 3: looks really good. Zach Gallen looks like a bona fid as.

465
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: They have Merri Kelly, who looks like a solid middle

466
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: of the rotation starter. And then Ryan Nelson has come

467
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 3: up and looked good. Drey Jamison has come up and

468
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 3: looked good. Brandon Fott is a top fifty prospect in baseball,

469
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: one of the best right handers in baseball.

470
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: Don't sleep on the d Backs.

471
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: They could creep in not be too far off from

472
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: the Orioles conversation here. If it all goes right and

473
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 3: that pitching comes together, don't Getritt even as a factor

474
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: in there. This is a very intriguing team. And I

475
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: didn't even mention Jordan Lawler, who's already up in Double

476
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 3: A and looks really, really good.

477
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: This team's going to be crazy. I love your point

478
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: right there. You know why I didn't pick them, because

479
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: I think when we're talking about all around talent and

480
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: maybe the better team right now, I think it would

481
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: be the Diamondbacks. The reason I didn't pick them, and

482
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: maybe this is the wrong way to look at it.

483
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: I looked at their division, Arm, Yeah, it's divisions. I

484
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: see the Daughters in the Padres, and I think to myself, well,

485
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: the Reds have an area of possibly winning the division.

486
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that they will because the Cardinals are

487
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: not only good now, They're going to be good for

488
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: a very long time. So that's a tough one. So

489
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: you could say, well, Peter, if you're going to judge

490
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: the West, you better judge the Central. But I feel

491
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: like there is a there's a better window there for

492
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: the Reds rather than the Diamondbacks. So that's why I

493
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: went with the Reds. But really I went with the Orioles. Yeah, no,

494
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean Orioles.

495
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: And that's a tough division too, But shit, man, they

496
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: can they can catch up with anybody. And I think,

497
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 3: you know, it's definitely a good point. I just I

498
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 3: think you can only control the controllable. We're going to

499
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 3: see more of a schedule across the whole league.

500
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: We're answering the question, Arm.

501
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think I think the d Backs

502
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 3: are going to I think the d Backs are going

503
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: to be that team. So I like it and I

504
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: can't wait to see some of those guys come up soon.

505
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: Next question, and now this is more on the young

506
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: talent side of things, And this is fun because we

507
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: know what's going to happen. It's just a matter of who.

508
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 3: It always happens every postseason. This comes from car Ryan

509
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: seven on Instagram. With the influx of so many young stars,

510
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 3: which one do you think will have the biggest impact

511
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: for their team in the last few weeks of the

512
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: season and into the post's season. We know how many

513
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: freak youngsters have taken over the game this year. We've

514
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 3: talked about it a time. What's even more amazing is

515
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: that a lot of them are on contenders. Who comes

516
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: to your mind first, Peter, when you hear this question.

517
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: This may be the easy answer, but I feel like

518
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: it has to be the answer, and that answer is

519
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: Spencer Schreider on the Atlanta Braves. Yep. Not only because

520
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: of how important starting pitching is when it comes to

521
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but when you look at the Braves' overall

522
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: rotation and you take out Strider, you have Max Free

523
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: who's a certified dog. Absolutely no worries about him Kyle Wright.

524
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: I think we like him, don't love him. Yeah, Chuck

525
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: Morton is obviously getting a little bit older there. And

526
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: then besides that, there's not a lot to love with

527
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves starting rotation. But you put in Streider there, whoa,

528
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: they have a real rotation that can compete with the

529
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: Dodgers and the Mets. So not only has Schrider been

530
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: the best rookie, but down the stretch to lock down

531
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: games and then in the playoffs because the Braves have

532
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: a phenomenal bullpen, so you only need five innings from Streider.

533
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: And if I need one guy to come in and

534
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: blow cheese for one five innings spurt, that's Spencer Streider.

535
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: So while he's going to win Rookie the Year and

536
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: deservedly sow and has been one of the best pitchers

537
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: in baseball, I think he will no doubt be the

538
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: most impactful rookie when it comes to these playoffs because

539
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: starting pitching wins championships. And when you look at the

540
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: scope of the Braves the rest of the rotation, like

541
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: you put Streider on the Astros. While he's the best rookie,

542
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: is he the most impactful? Maybe not now, but in

543
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: this situation, He's definitely the most impactful.

544
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: No, I agree with that, because Dude, Streider, not only

545
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: has he been the best rookie, talk about one of

546
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: the best pitchers in baseball. You'll get second half aside

547
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 3: from Zach Gallen, he's arguably been, you know, the best pitcher.

548
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 3: You know who's right there next to him is George Kirby.

549
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: And George Kirby is another guy who I think can

550
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 3: really factor into this. But is he as important as

551
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: Julio Rodriguez? And that's the big question here, because you'll

552
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: get the Mariners' get the logan Gilbert just did last

553
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: night or two nights ago as people are listening to this,

554
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 3: just shoved. They've got Robby Ray, WHO'SOK, pretty solid at

555
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: least Castillo has been phenomenal, but George Kirby has been

556
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: right there with Strider. You'll get the numbers in the

557
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: second half. Both of them have had ten starts in

558
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 3: the second half. Two point two EERRA for Stroud, two

559
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: point oh three ERRA for Kirby, one five six fit

560
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 3: for Strider, one three to three FIP for Kirby. They

561
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 3: both have just been phenomenal, And I mean, I would

562
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: say that Jay Rod is more important. It's the Jay

563
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 3: Rod Show. We know that that's a very obvious answer

564
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: here as well. But I just wanted to highlight George

565
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: Kirby because I was talking about this with our managing editor,

566
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: Ryan Finkstein. He was detailing as some of the outlooks

567
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 3: for each of these playoff teams. And you know who

568
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 3: does pitch that second third game for the Mariners. Are

569
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: you going to Logan Gilbert or George Kirby in Game three?

570
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 3: Or are you moving Robbie Ray out of this? I

571
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 3: feel like you can't move Robbie Ray, the ranking Cy

572
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 3: Young Jamp, the one lefty in your rotation that's going

573
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 3: to really be in that postseason rotation. George Kirby has

574
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: to fit in here somewhere. You go in four man

575
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 3: rotation with Gilbert as the fourth, Does that mean Kirby's

576
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: not as important as Jay Rod?

577
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: I would probably say so right. I love that you

578
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: brought it up because it's a very interesting conversation because

579
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: Kirby is right there with jay Ron in terms of

580
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: importance for a team in general, just a blank team,

581
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 1: just exactly. But when I look at the Mariners, what

582
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: are the Mariners built on their bullpen and starting pitching.

583
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: Their offense is what it's a little lackluster. Like au

584
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: Ando Sworz has been one of the best hitters on

585
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: the Marins this year, and now he's got a broken

586
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: tip of his Yeah, I mean they need offense. You know,

587
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: ty Frantz has been a bit inconsistent, but over the

588
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: full season he's been good. You know, cal Rawley has

589
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: been awesome, which is he's I think he's almost at

590
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: twenty five on runs. Now he's dealing with a little

591
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: bit of an injury too. Like Jesse Winker, you are

592
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: you're not game planning for Jesse Winker, but you're also

593
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: he's not an auto out. So Jay Rod, I think

594
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: is incredibly important for the Seattle Mariners when you look

595
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: at what the Seattle Mariners are best at, Like I

596
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: think the Seattle Mariners can win if you take George

597
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: Kirby off, but if you take j Rod off, I

598
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: almost think they have no shot. Yeah, no one. That's

599
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: how I kind of think about it, not even looking

600
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: at like who's the better player, because like Jay Rods,

601
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 1: the better players Jay Rod, he already has a nickname.

602
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: At twenty one. His name's Jay Rot. We don't even

603
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: Rodriguez literally, but if we're just looking at impact through

604
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks and the importance to a team,

605
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: I think Jay rod is almost as important as Schreider is.

606
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: I rode up why I think the Mariners can make

607
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: a run, and I predicated that on the starting pitching

608
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: in the bullpen. But also that is with the assumption

609
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 3: that they are able to put up enough runs. And

610
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 3: I was thinking, they don't need to put up a

611
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: ton of runs because the starting pitching and the bullpen

612
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: is going to be so good, but someone's gonna have

613
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 3: to push him across.

614
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: And you talk about the inconsistency.

615
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: Even the cal Rallies of the world, big power, big inconsistency,

616
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 3: Sam with Winker, even same with Suarez at points. Julio

617
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: Rodriguez is your tone setter in so many ways. And

618
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's a player, rookie or not

619
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: that might be as important as Julio Rodriguez is to

620
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: his team.

621
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: So agree with that.

622
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 3: Are there any other dark horses, maybe in this conversation,

623
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: that you think could be impactful rookies as we look

624
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 3: forward to this postseason. There's probably a few names. I

625
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: look at a Stephen Kwan with Cleveland and he that's

626
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 3: another offense that could use help. But I don't know

627
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 3: if he really has the skill set to be able

628
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 3: to be that vital, vital rookie. Is there anyone else

629
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 3: that you're looking at that that maybe fits that criteria?

630
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: So I was watching the Dodgers game today and Miguel

631
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: Vargas came to mind. He's not the high profile rookies,

632
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: barely had much of a shop, but like when he's right,

633
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Miguel Vargas can be a real player here.

634
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Don't think that really fits in the conversation. Just trying

635
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: to think outside the box a little bit, because I

636
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: think I think everybody knows who are the best rookies

637
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: in this like Stephen quand of course like super impactful,

638
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: and we could just keep going down those guys. But

639
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to just think outside the box of like

640
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: maybe a rookie that nobody's talking about at all that

641
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: could make an impact, like a Taj Bradley on the Rays,

642
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: Like if they call him up, could he do something

643
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: for them? Things like that. You know what I'm saying,

644
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: I got one for you, How about Bryson sisters. Yeah,

645
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: this is your bread and butter. I like Bryson Stout

646
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot. I think that's a great answer the Phillies book.

647
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 3: They they are gonna need to lean into their We

648
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: know they bitch, but they're gonna have to score runs regardless.

649
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 3: So they're gonna have to be one of the best

650
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 3: offensive teams in the postseason to be able to win

651
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: ball games and make a run. Bryson Stott was a

652
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: guy I loved coming into this year. Sucked through the

653
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 3: first half. There's been dynamite in the second half. If

654
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 3: he can keep that rolling, I mean one fifteen WRC

655
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: plus two ninety batting average, seven to sixty six ops,

656
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: good defense, can swipe some bags. If he can be

657
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: that that dynamic guy that they kind of miss, you know,

658
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: they don't have a lot of those guys in their lineup.

659
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 3: That's that's a rookie that could be a dark horse

660
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: to really help them as well.

661
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: How about another dark horse, the forgotten rookie Brendan Donovan.

662
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: Brendan Donald absolutely utility player, can play all around the diamond.

663
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: Give you good defense that multiple different positions, good back

664
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: to ball, like you slot him and like maybe even

665
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: a leadoff spot, you know, if Tommy Edmond isn't hitting,

666
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: or you put him closer to the end of the

667
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: lineup to give you a little bit of thump back there.

668
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan, you know, Nolan Gorman just got optioned in

669
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 1: Matthew Libertor as a five yr in the minors, And

670
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan's been the best out of all of them,

671
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: Like maybe he could be a big dark horse and

672
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: kind of a playoff hero in a way.

673
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 3: I could totally see that, absolutely, And I think those

674
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: are all all great answers there. And Donovan's been, I mean,

675
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: another one of those dudes that he has hit at

676
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 3: every single level and no one cared, and then he

677
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: just hit the major league level and we had to care.

678
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: And I love stories, and still nobody cares. Yeah, still

679
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 3: still got him. Yeah, Vinnie Pascentino is the same story.

680
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: It's just they call him the Italian Breakfast, so more

681
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 3: people care. Brendan Donovan is the most auto generated name possible,

682
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: which just really hurts his case. But Jeff Smith, Yeah, literally,

683
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: it's just like two first names. It's just like, whatever,

684
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: this was a fun one. I want you to give

685
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: a different answer than the obvious answer on this one, Peter,

686
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: this comes from Jim Murt, who tweets with us a lot.

687
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 3: Always love our interactions with Jim Murt, but his act

688
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: on Twitter is at Irish Fans seven seven ninety three,

689
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 3: So sorry for your losses. I assume that is the

690
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 3: Notre Dame Irish. But the question is do you have

691
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: a favorite player that is not an All Star?

692
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: Like Jack? With Jose Siri.

693
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: I love that he specifically mentioned that in the question too,

694
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: but if you ask Jack Jose Siri, he should be

695
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: an All Star. He was snubbed this year. Obviously, your

696
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: freaking answer is cal Quantrell. But I want you to

697
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 3: dig deeper. I want you to dig deeper. Dude, give

698
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 3: me something else, because I think cal Quantroll is a

699
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: great one, probably as good of an example as you

700
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: can have. But I put this in here because I

701
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: want you to stretch.

702
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: Your mind a little bit. I want you to give

703
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: us something a little different. I agree, cal Quantrell's my answer.

704
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm going between a couple of different guys.

705
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: You know what's funny. I've loved Sir Anthony de Minguez

706
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: in the Phillies. He is nasty and The reason why

707
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: I now like him is because I gave the Phillies

708
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: bullpen so much flak in the offseason, and he was

709
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: kind of a guy who sprouted up and I was like, ooh,

710
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: maybe I was a little bit wrong. And then I

711
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: keep watching him like ooh, he is disgusting. But he's

712
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: not my answer. He's just the guy who I wanted

713
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: to mention because I know Phillies fans are always looking

714
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: for me to say, hey, Peter, remember when you said

715
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: we were not gonna be good, Remember when you better

716
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: are under wind? Total remember all these things. I'm like, yes, yes,

717
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: I do, and I'm giving you credit. Sir Anthony Demingus

718
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: has been phenomenal. Spencer Steer, Yeah, I I love me

719
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: some of this dude. First of all, betting wise has

720
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: saved me multiple times. Just the maturity, Like when these

721
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: guys come up and they're overswingers, and you know, they

722
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: don't look like they're very well disciplined at the plate,

723
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: like even you know, Corbyn Carroll when he came up

724
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: or you know, I mean, he's still good. But the

725
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: guys like that, who I think if they took a

726
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: couple of pitches, they'd be even better, like Steered that

727
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: from the jump and he was. He's just such an

728
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: underrated prospect and I've loved what I've seen from him,

729
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: like he is developing into one of my favorite diamonds

730
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: in the rough that I think we'll have a very

731
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: successful career in baseball. So that's from my mind when

732
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: we can keep talking about him, because I have others

733
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: and I want to hear yours.

734
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit more on Steer because the thing

735
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 3: that's amazing about him is he's another dude that just

736
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: hit and hit and hits. But it wasn't until he

737
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: had the power, until people really started paying attention to him.

738
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 3: And that was the funny thing is then he starts

739
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 3: hitting for power and people are all excited and he

740
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: becomes highly regarded. And I was pretty surprised to see

741
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: him moved great get by the Reds. We've talked about

742
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 3: that on the call up. We've talked about that on here,

743
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 3: and I love him because he is going to translate

744
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 3: so well there, he's a doubles guy that added a

745
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: little bit more power and now can hit twenty homers.

746
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 3: But you put him in that environment, he might be

747
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: able to squeeze out thirty if it all works, And

748
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: I said, he's going to be just like Brandon Drury

749
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: this year if that's what I think he can provide,

750
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 3: and that's freaking awesome.

751
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: I think that's a great choice. Who else you have

752
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: and then I'll go with mine. Let me think on

753
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: it a little bit more, let me think on it,

754
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: let me hear yours.

755
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: So this one, it's not as much of an underrated

756
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 3: player because he went to a big market and we

757
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 3: hear about this team all the time. But this is

758
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: somebody that I've been very, very high on and have

759
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 3: loved for a long time.

760
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: Mark Canna.

761
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 3: Mark Canna was a guy that the Marlins lost in

762
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: the Rule five draft way back in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen.

763
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 3: I always kind of followed him ever since and not

764
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: a great start, then finally found his footing in twenty eighteen,

765
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 3: really had a great year in twenty nineteen. But what

766
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 3: I like about Canna is.

767
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: He just does everything well.

768
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 3: He's able to sneak with a little bit of power.

769
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 3: That's dissipated a bit as he's dealt with a hip injury,

770
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 3: but still twelve homers this year. He's averaged around fifteen

771
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 3: homers over his last five seasons, but bring Speed can

772
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: play all three outfield spots. More relegated to a corner

773
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 3: now that he's thirty three, But when I always liked him,

774
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 3: could play all three outfield spots at a high level.

775
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: Sneaky power, hits for average, walks a ton. So even

776
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: when his average is a.

777
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: Bit, well we're in the two fifty two to sixty range,

778
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: he's still getting on base at a three sixty three,

779
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 3: seventy clipped through his peaks, three to fifty on base

780
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 3: guy through his career, he just does everything well.

781
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: He gets hit a ton. He's been hit I think

782
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: forty eight times over his last two seasons.

783
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 3: Just wears it. He's a grinder. I just love everything

784
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 3: about his game. I'm all in on Mark Canna even

785
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: though he's a met now.

786
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: I like that one. I also there was another one

787
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: that I was on, you know, at the beginning of

788
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: the season, and I wrote up an article on this guy,

789
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: like not before everyone, but I think before the major

790
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: outlets got to him, and that was Seos Suzuki. Like

791
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: I was a huge fan of his coming over. I

792
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: thought he would I thought he'd hit the ground running

793
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: and he did initially. I mean he got off to

794
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: a crazy hot start, but then really slowed down. I

795
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: think pitchers kind of figured it out a little bit.

796
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: But I do think that he is going to be

797
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: a solid player in our game, like I think. Remember

798
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: I gave you a slash line at the beginning of

799
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: the year. I was like, I think he's two sixty

800
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: five three forty four fifty in that range. Like, what

801
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: Seya Suzuki slash line right now over the full season?

802
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: Do you have that on you?

803
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 3: I will have it in four seconds here Suzuki on

804
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: the season is two sixty three three thirty six four

805
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 3: thirty three. Will use in your defense. He's dealt with

806
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: a hand in risk injury at times. The league adjusted

807
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 3: to him. I thought he adjusted back pretty well through

808
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: the latter parts of the season and then dealt with

809
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 3: a little bit of injury. I'm in on Suzuki as well,

810
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: and he's not an All star, so that's a fair choice.

811
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: He will be though, and is belief he will be

812
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: well that that was pretty accurate. What did you What

813
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: was the line you said? I said two sixty five

814
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: three forty like four sixty.

815
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the one area was just the power, a

816
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 3: little power. It wasn't that that's gonna come. I think

817
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 3: you're still going to ultimately be pretty right on.

818
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: That one might be better. I think you will be better. Honestly, Arham,

819
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: I think it might be time to take a break

820
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: and talk to you guys about diet smoke. Diet smoke

821
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: is the solution to avoid those oh shit on way

822
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: too high moments. Diet Smoke makes delta H, Delta eight, THHC,

823
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,400

00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 3: That's a crazy concept. I have not dabbled in the

00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 3: sodas yet.

864
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: Will. We'll be able to circle back on that one soon.

865
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 1: I might try on this weekend.

866
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 3: One player that I really don't understand why he doesn't

867
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 3: get more love. He is a walking eight thirty ops

868
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: every year, has never been an All Star, and he

869
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 3: will get a chance of playing the playoffs most likely

870
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: this year. Reece Hoskins Man. I like watching Reece Hoskins hit.

871
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 3: I really do. He walks again, I just like guys

872
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 3: who walk, I really do. He walks as much as

873
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 3: anybody in the game in certain spots. He hasn't walked

874
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 3: as much this year, but still a high walk rate

875
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: led the league and walks in twenty nineteen. Let me

876
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 3: take you through his ops by year.

877
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Peter. His rookie season, he played fifty games oney fourteen ops.

878
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: Since then, eight.

879
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 3: Fifty ops eight nineteen eight eight sixty four and eight

880
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: oh three this year. He's literally never dipped below eight hundred.

881
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: He does it every year. He has hit at least

882
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 3: twenty home runs every single season since his rookie year,

883
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 3: besides the shortened twenty twenty year, where he was on

884
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 3: pace for thirty home runs or actually more than that

885
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 3: if we played a full season. He's one of the safest.

886
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 3: Like guarantee the slash line. I could put the stat

887
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: line in of two point fifty three forty four eighty

888
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 3: every year with twenty eight pumps and you almost can

889
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 3: guarantee it. I love hitters like that, I really do.

890
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 3: I really do.

891
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: You like consistent, you like you know what you're gonna

892
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: get in a sport where you don't know what you're

893
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: ever getting. Absolutely I can. I can vibe with that

894
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: kind of like you know what you're gonna get from

895
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. He's always gonna suck on one time and

896
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna give you medio crews football play. I think

897
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: his regular season record now is sixty and sixty two

898
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: for his.

899
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: Career, Like he's just he's made so much money though

900
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 3: so much money.

901
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: Good for him anyone else you want to mention here

902
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: as a player that you might be a fan of.

903
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: I think we went a hit or heavy. For what

904
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 1: that's worth. I want, Sir Anthony Dominguez. Well. Also, Camilla

905
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: Duval is also my dude. I forgot to mention that,

906
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: like Camilla Duval is the velociraptor, which I've coined him

907
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: by myself. And Noah, it is not caught on at all,

908
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: has not caught on at all, has not caught on

909
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: even slightly. He is my favorite. I love watching him

910
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 1: just throw fuzz with that slider. I think he's awesome.

911
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 3: I'll give my last one here and this is a

912
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 3: homer pick, but at the same time, he's just so fun.

913
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 3: John Birdie, John Birdie's been an awesome story to two

914
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 3: point three four and eighty eight games. I know you

915
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 3: just shrug like whatever. Thirty six bags this year, four homers,

916
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 3: He's at a one hundred WRC plus while playing great

917
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 3: defense all over the diamond. He's played thirty eight games

918
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 3: a second, thirty six games at third, fourteen and left,

919
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 3: seven at short, three in center, and he's DH for

920
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 3: three games. Every team on Earth would love a John Birdie,

921
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 3: and nobody knows who he is.

922
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: Because he's a Marlin.

923
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 3: If John Birdie was on the Yankees or the Dodgers

924
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 3: or whoever, he's a fan favorite, everyone knows who he is.

925
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 3: But he's on the Marlins and he's one of their

926
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 3: best players, so no one gives a shit. It's been

927
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 3: an awesome year for Birdie. He's been hurt, he always

928
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 3: gets hurt. But in the eighty eight games he's played.

929
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: Two point three f four that's freaking insane. That's I

930
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: think that's almost pacing the Marlins. That might be right

931
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: there with Jazz for the best on the Marlins of

932
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: any position player. Birdie's a really good player, just a

933
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: really good ballplayer. He's a good ballplayer. I don't know

934
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: if he's a really good player, it's a really good ballplayer.

935
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: He's a good ballplayer. You know, he's a good ballplayer.

936
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 3: He plays the game the right way, you know, Like

937
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 3: that's someone my grandpa would probably love is John Birdie

938
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 3: dives head first everywhere, goes.

939
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: Hard, leads the league in stolen base his arm YEP

940
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: leads the major league based eighty eight games. In eighty

941
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: eight games pretty ely.

942
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 3: That kind of leads us into next question, with the

943
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 3: shift being limited and pickoff rules implemented next year. Which

944
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 3: players do you think will have a noticeable increase in

945
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 3: batting average and stolen bases? That comes from Jared Cochrane

946
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 3: thirteen on Twitter. I will say one thing before we

947
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: get into this. I want to focus more on the

948
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 3: batting average side because I don't know if too much

949
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 3: will change with stolen bases rights. Guys who steal bases

950
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 3: will steal more. I don't really think they'll be too

951
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 3: much of a change other than maybe some of these

952
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 3: savvy players being able to, you know, after two throws over,

953
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 3: get a little bit more more of a lead and

954
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 3: steal a few more bags, you know, the Paul Goldschmids

955
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 3: of the world that are just sneaky based Steelers. Other

956
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 3: than that, I don't see too much of a change there.

957
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 3: What we'll see a huge change, I think is with

958
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: certain hitters and the shift. Who comes to mind for you, Peter.

959
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at who the percentage of who gets

960
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: shifted the most in Major League Baseball, and I'll just

961
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: run through them quickly. It's carl Us Intena number one.

962
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: You go, Goodrum, Alex Dickerson, cal Rawly, Vinnie Pascentino, rubenid

963
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: Do d'Or, Jose Ramirez, Cole Calhoun, Billy McKinney, Diz Will Benson,

964
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: Corey Seeger, Aaron Hicks, Taylor Tremmell, and Steven Vott. That

965
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: rounds out your top fifteen, and then just to go

966
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: top twenty, Cody Bellinger, Kyle Schwarber, Kyle Tucker, Joey Gallo,

967
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: and Seth Brown. So my eyes went to two names.

968
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this is truly the right answer,

969
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,760
Speaker 1: but this is kind of how my mind came around

970
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: to it. So tell me if I'm off here. Corey

971
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: Seeger seems like a guy that if he wasn't shifted

972
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: that much, the batting average would go up, as well

973
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: as Jose Ramirez, Like I think it's easy to say

974
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: Joey Gallo. Of course it probably would be Joey gallow

975
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: because he hits one sixty and it probably goes up

976
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: if not if you're not playing six outfielders on the

977
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: right side of the field. But that was that's where

978
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: my mind went to, with how often they're shift with

979
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: the bat to ball. If they could just squeak some

980
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: of those ground balls through the five six old without

981
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: it running into an outfielder or the second baseman playing

982
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: in short right field. Those were my mind went to,

983
00:46:59,040 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: am I on the right track?

984
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 3: That was my number one was Corey Seeger. You are

985
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 3: absolutely I was hoping you wouldn't say Bellinger because Bellinger

986
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 3: is he will benefit a little bit, but he only

987
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 3: puts the ball on the ground thirty three percent of

988
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 3: the time and whiffs a shitload, so he might benefit

989
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 3: a little bit, but not nearly as much. You gotta

990
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 3: look at guys like you said, who make a decent

991
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 3: amount of contact, who pull the ball a lot and

992
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 3: on the ground a lot. And I mean Sieger does

993
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 3: a good job of using the whole field, but high

994
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: ground ball rate. He's cut it down this year because

995
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 3: I think of that because of the shift. We talk

996
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 3: about Rizzo and what he did in New York to

997
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: just really hit it over the shift. Said, Okay, it's

998
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 3: a little bit easier to hit it out down the

999
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 3: right field line here than it's been in other places prior.

1000
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go over the shift. I can go

1001
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 3: pullside power and it worked. But at the same time,

1002
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure he'd love to have those line drives to

1003
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: right field that our base hits and Seeger, the way

1004
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 3: he's getting shifted, the way he's he's really.

1005
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: A line drive hitter for the most Part's.

1006
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 3: Talk about the doubles that he hits. Who he is

1007
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 3: as a hitter, only fifteen percent strikeout rate this year.

1008
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 3: You see the career high homers but career low in

1009
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 3: babbit Peter a two point forty babbit from Corey Seeger,

1010
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 3: he is going.

1011
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: I think that might be.

1012
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 3: One of the number one benefactors of this thing. Jose

1013
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 3: Ramirez gets shifted from the left side. You mentioned him.

1014
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: That's somebody hits the ball hard, hits the ball on

1015
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: the ground a lot, but he can get away with

1016
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: it because he's fast and he hits it hard. He

1017
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: will undoubtedly benefit too. Those are two great ones. Who else?

1018
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: Who else are you looking at? I have a few

1019
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: guys in my mind as well. Yeah, those were really

1020
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: the two guys. I also thought that Kyle Tucker made

1021
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: a lot of sense here. He doesn't have like the

1022
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: same kind of ground ball rates, but it's not like

1023
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't not hit the ball on the ground. And

1024
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: he also is a guy who hits the ball to

1025
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: all fields. But what I'm looking for is back to ball.

1026
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 1: Guys who put the ball on the ground a decent

1027
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: amount and could benefit in the batting average department, who

1028
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: are suffering a little bit more this year, who get

1029
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: shifted on aggressively, And those are the three Seeger, Jose Ramirez,

1030
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: and Kyle Tucker. I'm with you.

1031
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 3: There one other guy that I'm very excited because I've

1032
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 3: been waiting. I know you have too to see him

1033
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 3: just have it all click is Max Kepler. And Max

1034
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: Kepler continues to just just tease us with just so

1035
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 3: talented little blips of really good stuff. What if I

1036
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 3: told you that Max Kepler's ground ball rate is the

1037
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 3: highest of his career, or at least the highest since

1038
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, and it's up eight point six percent from

1039
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 3: last year, while his pull rate is up three percent.

1040
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 3: So's hitting the ball on the ground and pulling it

1041
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 3: more frequently, and he's one of the most shifted players

1042
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 3: in baseball.

1043
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: We know he hits the ball hard, we know he

1044
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: has power, we know how good he can be. Career

1045
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 1: low strikeout.

1046
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 3: Rate at fourteen point eight percent, bad bip has always

1047
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 3: been well for him. This is somebody that really could

1048
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 3: finally have that. I mean imagine if Max Kepler instead

1049
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 3: of two thirty, is two fifty two sixty with the

1050
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 3: way he walks, with the power that he has, all

1051
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you're looking at a one one o

1052
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 3: one w RC plus guy ninety five WRC plus guy

1053
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 3: more one fifteen one twenty with good defense. Big big

1054
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 3: change here.

1055
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: Big change for the Minnesota Twins, who could really really

1056
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: use him, and.

1057
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how they handle him. They do

1058
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,479
Speaker 3: have some other guys coming up. They have a bunch

1059
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 3: of prospects that have been banged up, kind of stuck

1060
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 3: in between in limbo here.

1061
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: They've trade rumors. What do you think they're gonna do?

1062
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: What do I think the Twins are gonna do with Kepler? Yeah?

1063
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: Trade or keep? I think you trade him and you

1064
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: go get more arms, just because you have a Kerlft

1065
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: clone basically of what Kepler is, except a little bit

1066
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: better when he's right, and they're both injury prone, Like

1067
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: you trade, just go get arms, Minnesota. I want to wait.

1068
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're legitimately Dylan Bundy in a playoff

1069
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: rotation arm. You can't do that, you literally can't.

1070
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 3: And I wonder if they are aware of this and

1071
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 3: they're gonna say, hey, let's wait because he might go

1072
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 3: off this year.

1073
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kepler might go off. Let's wait and trade him

1074
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: and maybe at the deadline or something like that. For pitching.

1075
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see how they handle that one.

1076
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 3: All right, Peter, it's right up your alley here. This

1077
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 3: question is from Daisy's Dingoes on Twitter. Daisy's and Dingos

1078
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 3: is the name, but the ad is at Dacy's Dingoes.

1079
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: You have ten dollars to bet on three teams to

1080
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 3: win the World Series given the current betting odds, and

1081
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 3: that is a big factor in this. How are you

1082
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 3: distributing those ten dollars on each of the three teams? Basically,

1083
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 3: you got ten dollars to place on three teams. Who

1084
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 3: do you want to put it on? Because you could

1085
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 3: just say, oh, we Dodgers, Astros and whoever else, and

1086
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 3: that's going to give you the least upside. So how

1087
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 3: are you distributing these ten three ten dollar bets and why?

1088
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's important too. When we look at

1089
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 1: the current World Series odds, you might be a little

1090
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: bit disappointed. And there's a reason you're going to be

1091
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: a little bit disappointed. If you're looking four value. These

1092
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: odds continually get worse for the better like not for

1093
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: the better like bee Ttoreu. You are the better in

1094
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 1: this scenario because it's getting closer to the playoffs, and

1095
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: the books know that more people are starting to bet

1096
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: on the favorites, so all of those odds are going down.

1097
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: For example, I've been on the Atlanta Braves at plus

1098
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred about a month ago to win the World

1099
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: Series due to the value compared to other teams. Now

1100
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: they sit at plus eight fifty and not much has

1101
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: changed in their scenario. They were right there with the Mets.

1102
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, the Braves were ten games out

1103
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: they made this miraculous like come back. No they didn't.

1104
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: They've been right there with the Mets a month ago.

1105
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: It's just the odds are now getting shorter. So when

1106
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: you look at the Dodgers at plus three twenty Ashos

1107
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 1: plus four hundred Mets, plus five hundred Yankees plus five

1108
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: fifty Braves plus eight fifty Blue Jays, then it gets crazy.

1109
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: Then the odds like double you have plus sixteen hundred.

1110
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: You have plus two thousand for the Cardinals and plus

1111
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred Mariners raised Padres all the way down

1112
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: the line. This is what I would do. First. If

1113
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 1: you have ten dollars and you have to bet on

1114
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: three teams one, you should put money on the Dodgers.

1115
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: I know it's lame, but like, you don't have to

1116
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: put all of them, but maybe two thrucks on the Dodgers.

1117
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they're three to one. They're probably gonna win it.

1118
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: They're my pick to win it. You put a gun

1119
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: in my head, say Peter, who's gonna win the World Series?

1120
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying the Dodgers, and like convincingly. So that's the

1121
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: first two dollars that I'm putting on. I'm still gonna

1122
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: put four dollars on the Atlanta Braves because I feel

1123
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: at this current juncture it's the best value for a

1124
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: team that I think truly can win it. Because the

1125
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 1: Braves are not much worse than the Mets. They might

1126
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: be exactly the same. I mean you could. I'm sure

1127
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: Braves fans and Mets fans will go to war arguing

1128
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: over who's better. But I'm here to tell you I

1129
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: think it's pretty even. And then the Los Angeles Dodgers

1130
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: are right there, but the Braves are are right there

1131
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 1: with them, but their odds are not reflected in this

1132
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 1: Like they aren't plus three fifty worse than the Mets.

1133
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: They're not plus three fifty worse than the Yankees. So

1134
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: in terms of a value sense, that's what I So.

1135
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: Now I have six dollars, and I hate to kind

1136
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: of cheat, but if you want to keep me to

1137
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: three teams, then I would put the other amount of

1138
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: money whatever I have left. Maybe I'd put three on

1139
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, four on the Braves, and then I'd put

1140
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: three on the Ashos because I think that they're going

1141
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: to make it out of the American League. But if

1142
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: I can be if I can find value for you,

1143
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals are a great pick at plus

1144
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: two thousand. Like the Cardinals are also not that far

1145
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: off from the Braves. And if we're looking at a

1146
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: team who's been there, done that, I mean, the Cardinals

1147
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 1: are always in the thick of it. Gold Schmid could

1148
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: win the Triple Crown Air or not. It was amazing.

1149
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: They have the starting pitching now with Montgomery and Quintana.

1150
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: Like we're going to talk about that in a second.

1151
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: Like the Cardinals at plus two thousand, as well as

1152
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays at plus sixteen hundred we talk about

1153
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: World Series teams. You know what playoffs does is it

1154
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: shortens your team, so depth isn't as important in these factors.

1155
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 1: And a team that doesn't need depth is the Toronto

1156
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: Blue Jays in the sense that they lack depth, but

1157
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: in a playoff format that almost works to their favor.

1158
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: When you have Gosman, when you have Manoah, and then

1159
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: you have Strippling or Brios, whatever combination you want to

1160
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: go there, how hot their offense is. Then you look

1161
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: at the bullpen with Romano and Yimi Garcia and Anthony

1162
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 1: Bass and Adam Simber on occasion if you need them

1163
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 1: like that is where I would look if you're really

1164
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: looking for value. I think the best bets of the

1165
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Blue Jays, But really I think it's

1166
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: Yankee or I think it's Dodgers as shows of braves

1167
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: or no bet or no bet.

1168
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 3: So I'm going to make an interesting case here, and

1169
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 3: I probably misread the question. The way you broke it

1170
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 3: down makes way more sense. You have a total of

1171
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 3: ten dollars, you could spread that among three teams. I'm

1172
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 3: with you on the Dodgers gonna put three. I'm gonna

1173
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 3: put four dollars on the Dodgers. I'm gonna put four

1174
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 3: dollars on the Astros because those are two teams that

1175
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 3: I feel very confident that one of them is getting

1176
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 3: to the World Series.

1177
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 2: Right.

1178
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 1: I love how you said at the beginning, like you

1179
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: could just put it on the dollars of Dastros, that

1180
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: both of us are like, well, you should probably put

1181
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: it on the Dodgers as Yeah, like that's the thing,

1182
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing.

1183
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 3: But two dollars to win fifty, right, would be fifty

1184
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 3: on the Seattle Mariners at plus two thy five hundred

1185
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 3: would be my other sprinkle.

1186
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: I think it depends how that the seating works and

1187
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: everything I got.

1188
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 3: I gotta take another gander at, you know what the

1189
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 3: what the whole bracket looks like. But I love the

1190
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 3: Mariners against just about any I think they could stack

1191
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 3: up with any team not named the Astros, and then

1192
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 3: the Astros just make it a series.

1193
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: You never know what can happen.

1194
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 3: The reason why I love the Mariners is this team

1195
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 3: has the ability to just out pitch anybody if.

1196
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: It's all going right.

1197
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 3: We talked about the four pitchers that they have which

1198
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 3: that four I would take up against just about any team.

1199
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 3: With the way Kirby has looked, with the way Gilbert

1200
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 3: has looked, we know what Castillo could do. Robbie Ray's

1201
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 3: like my fourth guy in that fold there. And Robbie

1202
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 3: Ray's been fine, good. He's been better than fine, Like

1203
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,959
Speaker 3: we need to give him some love. He's been better,

1204
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 3: He's been good good, that's great.

1205
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: The bullten is elite, elite. The firefighters back there. Of

1206
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: course they're disgusting. Of course.

1207
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 3: The question I have is the offense. But you can

1208
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 3: get hot in the postseason, and they have enough talent.

1209
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm shocked that it's plus twenty five hundred with the

1210
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 3: way that they've played in the second half, I'm pretty shocked.

1211
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 3: I'm throwing my last two dollars there, so lame bet

1212
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 3: with the first two, and then I really like the upside.

1213
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 3: And I'll be honest. I have money on the Mariners

1214
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 3: to win the World Series. I placed at the beginning

1215
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 3: of the season, and I place more at the deadline.

1216
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 3: I just like the odds too much, and I think

1217
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 3: it's gonna be fun.

1218
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: You love the Mariners fun differential. I love the Marior too.

1219
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: I think just to end this question, just know you

1220
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: are not getting the value you deserve right now, especially

1221
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: as the season is ending. What I think and what

1222
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: I will be doing is betting on playoff series. It's

1223
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: not as sexy, but the value is going to be

1224
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: there and you can place your futures down. But understand

1225
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: you're placing it for fun and you're not going to

1226
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: get the best value. Just know that going in that.

1227
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: Like there's some bets for example, like I don't parlay,

1228
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: but if you're going to put a ten dollars parlay

1229
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: in on Sunday, knowing it is for entertainment in the

1230
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: possibility that you can hit something, I'm okay with that,

1231
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's a winning strategy. Like if

1232
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: you are trying to actually handicap these World Series odds,

1233
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: you are not getting the value that you deserve.

1234
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 3: No, that's totally fair, and that's why I'm glad I

1235
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 3: got it in earlier. I pretty asserted odds too, and

1236
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 3: I will say it does pay me to not get

1237
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,439
Speaker 3: the bravest you talk about value, that is one team

1238
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 3: that still has some pretty good value.

1239
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: Great speaking, that's defending champs who are way better than

1240
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: they were last year on paper, and I think that's

1241
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: I think that shows like I bet them plus fourteen

1242
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 1: hundred a month ago, arm what's changed now they're plus

1243
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: eight to fifty. That is a perfect story of what's

1244
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: happening to the odds and nothing has changed. They're still awesome.

1245
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: They're still in the same spot that they were. They're

1246
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: probably going to be the wildcard unists. They can overtake

1247
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: the Mets, which is a tough task because the Mets

1248
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: have an easier schedule than them. But now they're eight

1249
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: to fifty instead of fourteen hundred. There you go, that's

1250
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: what we're seeing here. But still eight to fifty. They

1251
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: should be at five hundred with the Yankees and the Mets,

1252
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: Like that's that's where they should be in terms of

1253
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: their talent. I really think the.

1254
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 3: Braves have a better shot than the Yankees to win it.

1255
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 3: And it's not even that's not a knock on the Yankees.

1256
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: It's just it's not. The Braves were just there, won

1257
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: the World Series and they're better. Here's my thing. I

1258
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: think the Braves are better than the Yankees, but I

1259
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: think actually the Yankees might have a better shot because

1260
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: the Braves have to go through the Mets and the Dodgers. Well,

1261
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: the Yankees just have to be the Ashos. But I

1262
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: do agree with you that, like, if we're looking at

1263
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: who's the.

1264
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 3: Best if they played the same team, I would take

1265
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 3: the Braves.

1266
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: You got a factor in the path.

1267
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely last question here, so the instagram question from dot

1268
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 3: dut dot bars B A R R S. This factors

1269
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 3: in here because you talk about the value of the Cardinals.

1270
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 3: Questions about the Cardinals and the playoffs. What do you

1271
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 3: think the Cardinals four man playoff rotation will look like

1272
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 3: now with Flerity and Matt's back, How much confidence do

1273
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 3: you have in it?

1274
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: I like that it's a two part question that way too,

1275
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: So I have confidence in the four Wayne Wright, michaelis Quintana,

1276
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: and Montgomery. I don't have any confidence in Steven Matts

1277
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: whatsoever coming off an injury whatsoever. Flerity could be interesting,

1278
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: but I've always been higher on Flirty than like everyone,

1279
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: and it just has not worked. I still believe in him,

1280
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: but not at this current juncture. No, I think they're both.

1281
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: If you need him in a pinch, like personally, Dakota

1282
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Hudson is not a guy I'm relying on, Like at

1283
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: some point I would rather pitch Flarity than Dakota Hudson.

1284
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: So I think you will see Flarity in these playoffs.

1285
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll see much of Mattz, especially

1286
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: because you don't even need lefties anymore now. Maybe it's

1287
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: like a maybe it's like a just a one inning

1288
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: guy for Mattz. Let him throw ninety seven from the

1289
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: left side and just maybe I don't know, that's what I.

1290
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 3: Was thinking with Flarity. Ironically, you have the injury concern.

1291
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 3: He's his stuff tapers off a little bit right now

1292
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 3: as he's not stretched out. We know that he's got

1293
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 3: great stuff. He goes one two innings as a reliever,

1294
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 3: he could be actually a good a good asset for you.

1295
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 3: I think Flarity could be that bullpen piece. I don't

1296
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 3: even know if you factor Matts in right maybe if

1297
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 3: it depends what the roster you know, kind of shake

1298
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 3: down looks like in terms of how many spots you

1299
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 3: want to use for hitters, pitchers, relievers, whatever. But you

1300
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 3: talk about these other guys that they've got right now.

1301
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 3: I mean, Jordan Montgomery has been one of the best

1302
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 3: deadline acquisitions any team has made. The second half nine

1303
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 3: starts A two three five era, A two five to

1304
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 3: three FIP. He's been spectacular. Kin Tana was maybe candidate

1305
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 3: number one to regress post trade deadline, hasn't regressed, has

1306
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 3: looked really good. Michaels I don't have as much confidence in.

1307
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 3: And that's the funny thing is I think it's a

1308
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 3: no brainer of Wainwright, Montgomery and Quintana. You have to

1309
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 3: go with Michaelis because of how good he was in

1310
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 3: the first half, I guess. But Michaelis is the guy

1311
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 3: I'm least confident in at that number four spot. You

1312
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 3: don't need another left he as well, so I think

1313
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 3: Matt's really is the auto man out. You don't need

1314
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 3: three lefties in your playoff rotation. I guess it boils

1315
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 3: down to Jack Flaherty off of injury, Miles Michaelis and

1316
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 3: what has been just not a great overall second half

1317
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 3: for him, but he's shown flashes of being really good,

1318
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 3: and I think go all because of how good he's

1319
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 3: been this year. He's earned himself that opportunity. Has been

1320
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 3: better over his last three starts. That's probably the four, right,

1321
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 3: it's those four, and both Flarity and Mats are out

1322
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 3: of it.

1323
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: Flarity maybe the reliever. Yeah, Like I think I think

1324
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: an interesting combos. You go michae List for four, then

1325
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: you go to maybe even a Steven Mattz for two,

1326
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,919
Speaker 1: and then you get into the bullpen. Like I think

1327
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: that's an interesting tradeoff. Or you pair them with Flarity,

1328
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: kind of like what I think the Blue Jays might

1329
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: do with Like let's say Brios isn't very good or something,

1330
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: and then you put in Usaka couch In, it just

1331
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: gets worse, skidding Like that's like kind of ways you

1332
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: can piece together these innings because in the playoffs you

1333
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: just got to get through nine and you got a

1334
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: limit offenses as much as possible. It's not like the

1335
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: regular season where you say, oh, Miles michaelis you know,

1336
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: it's from five innings, one run and you're up, and

1337
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: it's like, well, we can just put Michael's through the

1338
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: third time of the order. It's not like that in

1339
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Like you can go straight to that bullpen,

1340
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: and that's what I feel like they're going to use here,

1341
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: kind of do that righty lefty thing. Or you could

1342
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: just pair him with Flarerty because it's still a different,

1343
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: different look there. I agree I did you go short

1344
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: leash with Michaelis? I would.

1345
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 3: I'd give Wayne O leeway, right, I mean, that's somebody.

1346
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 3: If he gives you seven in the postseason, he could

1347
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 3: give you seven. I think the way that Montgomery's look

1348
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 3: same thing, Kitana and maybe a little bit shorter of

1349
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 3: a leash. Flerity could be a piggyback on one of

1350
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 3: the lefties. Matt's could be a piggyback on Michaels or

1351
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 3: you know, even you could have Flerity piggyback on Michaelis

1352
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,959
Speaker 3: as well, depending on how he does. Polante can also

1353
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 3: serve that role. I think Dakota Hudson's the guy probably

1354
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 3: want to see the least, which is which is interesting

1355
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 3: because he has been serviceable this year, but in the postseason,

1356
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 3: I just don't trust him.

1357
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Cardinals fans gets so mad at me for not liking him. Really,

1358
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: do you know the number one fan base who gets

1359
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: pissed off when I either bet against them or just

1360
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: don't bet them all. It's Cardinals fans. They hate me

1361
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: the most passionate because like, I won't bet on your

1362
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: team this one day. They're like, why not we have

1363
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: a great guy going Or I bet on the over

1364
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: with one of the games. What you think our picture

1365
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: is gonna get should like what I'm not going your team.

1366
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm playing the numbers seventy seven strikeouts and fifty eight walks.

1367
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: I can't do that. That doesn't play in the postseason.

1368
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: That doesn't play. You can keep the ball on the ground.

1369
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: Even about the rotation overall, I like it, but I

1370
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: also have felt this whole season that it's the weakest

1371
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: part of their game. And there's still a really good

1372
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: baseball team, like of unbelievable offense, some of the best

1373
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: defense I've ever seen. They have a lot of good

1374
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: guys back in the ballpen, like Ryan Helsley has been awesome.

1375
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: So that's always how I felt was the weakest part

1376
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: of their team. And even if they like we were

1377
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: saying at the deadline, like they had to go get

1378
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: starting pitching. But even if they didn't, I would still

1379
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: have confidence. And then they did and they got Monty

1380
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: and Cantana and both are working. Like I think, this

1381
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: is a great, great team, And if you have to

1382
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: look at a weakness, it is starting rotation. But I'm

1383
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: okay with that, Like they have they have enough guys

1384
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: there to piece together a puzzle and their offense and

1385
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 1: defense will show up.

1386
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 3: Is this the second worst rotation out of the postseason teams? Like,

1387
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 3: let me list them off. This is the last thing

1388
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 3: we'll talk about before we call in an episode.

1389
01:05:59,720 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 1: Here.

1390
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna list off playoff teams or you know, playoff

1391
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 3: adjacent teams. You tell me if their rotation is better

1392
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 3: or worse.

1393
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: Great, great Yankees. M really I'd go with the Yankees.

1394
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 3: I guess yeah, Mets, metss praises better Phillies.

1395
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Phillies is better. Raise the Rays don't even count. Okay there,

1396
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 1: They're just gonna put in some guy I've never heard

1397
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 1: of and he'll pitch Well. Like, they'll go Sean Armstrong

1398
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: to Brendon Honeywell will come back from the dead. Who's

1399
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: the Who's the Why am I forgetting his name? The lefty?

1400
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: This angle Ryan Yardborough? Like, they'll go Sean Armstrong to

1401
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Yardborough and like get through five score? I said,

1402
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,959
Speaker 1: You'll just be like, what, So that's what they are?

1403
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Blue Jays playoff rotation. Give me the

1404
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, YEP, Guardians, Guardians, Bieber's looked awesome.

1405
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 4: Astros, Astros, Mariners, Mariners, Dodgers, Dodgers, Padres, Padres, Brewers, Brewers.

1406
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Since the worst rotation in playoffs?

1407
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, ship, yeah, because I'm with you. But it's not

1408
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 5: like that. It's not like way worse. It's just the worst.

1409
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting?

1410
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 3: It crossed my mind right as I was literally about

1411
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 3: to close out Fangrafts.

1412
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: I looked at the standings.

1413
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 3: I glanced through the teams, and I'm like, what rotation

1414
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 3: is worse than this?

1415
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1416
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 3: The thing that they have going for them is their

1417
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 3: bullpen is better than all all those teams, is aside

1418
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 3: from a couple and you talk about the defense and

1419
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 3: the offense.

1420
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: The pitching is good enough, yes, And like, if we're

1421
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: looking at pitching staffs, like you know, from the first

1422
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: inning to the ninth in and give me them over.

1423
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: The Brewers, give me them over, the Padres, give me

1424
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 1: them over. There's more to it. There's more too, Yeah,

1425
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,720
