Speaker 3: the weekend.

13
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: We're going to wrap up the week in style. We

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: got a lot of fun headlines on the DACA today

15
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: and with Joe Piezapiagan, I've decided to talk about Michael Harris.

16
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: The second he's on the grid iron screaming at me,

17
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: I can hear him through the headset by Michael Harris.

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Pretty much since Joe has left, maybe.

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: A little bit before, has completely turned his season around.

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: When three for four yesterday, He's now forty for his

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: last one hundred and five over the last month, which

22
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: is a three eighty one batting average, eighteen runs, seven homers,

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: a couple of steals six consecutive multi hit games, just

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: in time for us to be suckered back into buying

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: him next year. Boba, I don't know what to do

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: with Michael Harris, Like he was a second third round

27
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: pick in a lot of rooms this year. I have

28
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: no idea what the price is going to be. What

29
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on Harris overall? Should we trust him

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: going forward in twenty twenty five and will you buy

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: back in in twenty twenty six.

32
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: I just started doing it. I'm not drafting Michael Harris

33
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: campaign the last few years because of the annoyances that

34
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: he brings to the table. But this is the second

35
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: straight year where he's kind of picked it up in

36
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: the second half. It's not even kind of this year.

37
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: He's torching the second half of the season. My co

38
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: host Bubben bloom Ryan Bloomfield loves Michael Harris. It's always

39
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: a back and forth that we have on that show.

40
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: And I actually had to be quiet for once because

41
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: of what Michael Harris is doing. It's quite annoying. So yeah,

42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: I'm really curious next Wednesday, we do our too early

43
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: draft on Wednesday night, and I'm really curious to see

44
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: where Michael Harris goes. It feels like he's kind of

45
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: you know, you mentioned he's been like a third round pick.

46
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: Few was like enough people have been burned by him

47
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: where he falls to like maybe round six or seven.

48
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: But and that seems like that's worth the conversation, So

49
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: I'm really curious to see where things drop on Wednesday.

50
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: It looks like he's gonna probably I mean, if he

51
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: continues at this pace, we might still get a twenty

52
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: twenty season. The batting average is up to two point fifty,

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: So if he ends up with a twenty twenty season

54
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: hitting two seventy five or something, we're gonna look back

55
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: and not even really realize that he was a bus

56
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, He's still gonna fall

57
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: short of the draft capital that you used on him.

58
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: But what a turnaround Michael Harris has had over there

59
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. And speaking of turnarounds, let's talk Julio Rodriguez.

60
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: He homered on Thursday against the Orioles. Over the last month,

61
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: ten homers and seven stolen bases while hitting two eighty three.

62
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: And this has become something every single year with Julio

63
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: that we can expect the first half is not usually awful,

64
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: but the second half is where he just explodes. A

65
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: one eighty career WRC plus in August in WRC plus

66
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: by half, it's one oh nine in the first half,

67
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: one fifty two in the second half.

68
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: Should we just be buying.

69
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: Low on Julio Rodriguez every single year if you're in

70
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: trading leagues? I don't even know what to do with

71
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: him at this point, because it does feel like this

72
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: is a part of his player makeup that he slumps

73
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: to start the year. The second half is always very good.

74
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: But is this something that we can expect to continue,

75
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: you think, or is it just random over the first

76
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: couple of years of his career.

77
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: I like to see what a full season looks like.

78
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: Let's put it that way. But he's twenty four years old,

79
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: He's played four major league seasons. He's had a twenty

80
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: twenty year in every season. This is who he is,

81
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: it seems like. But I think we still haven't seen

82
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 3: the ceiling. To my point of the start of this conversation,

83
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: I love the skill set of Julio. It doesn't help

84
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: with the ballpark he's in. The team around him is

85
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 3: better this year, so he's always gonna have some things

86
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: working against him. He always gets banged up. It feels

87
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: like an ankle or something as well. But in the end,

88
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: it's like I remember early in the season when he struggled,

89
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: you probably got the same questions, like what do I

90
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: do with Jay Rod? What do I do? What do

91
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: I do? I say, look at the back of the

92
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: baseball card. He's one of those guys you can trust

93
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: to get there where you know, Michael Harris, you never

94
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: know when that's going to drop. Just a beast he might.

95
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: He's probably going to finish this year thirty thirty. Again,

96
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: Like the dude's really really good and he has kind

97
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: of trusted in my mind.

98
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's where I'm at too. Like you said,

99
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: the ballpark isn't my favorite, and some of the underlying

100
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: numbers over the last couple of years, like barrel rate,

101
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: hard hit rates haven't been trending in the right directions.

102
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: But like you said, every year you're still getting twenty five,

103
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: twenty five, thirty thirty, and at his age, we still

104
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: probably haven't even seen his prime yet. So I think

105
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to keep drafting him and just dealing

106
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: with those first couple months of the season. If you're

107
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: in a head to head league and you got head

108
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: to head playoffs where he always is popping, I'm sure

109
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: it's not the biggest concern for you because he's probably

110
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: won a couple championships over the last couple of septembers.

111
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Vladimir Guerrero Junior. Hit his twentieth home

112
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: run of the season. He's now slashing three hundred batting average,

113
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: three ninety seven on base and a four to ninety

114
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: six slug with eighty one runs, sixty seven ribbies, and

115
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: five stolen bases. This question was framed around VLab, but

116
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: i'll flame it. I'll frame it around both vlad and Julio.

117
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 2: Are they back into the first round in twenty twenty

118
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: six drafts? There's been, like we mentioned with Julio, some struggles.

119
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: Vlatti's got off a little bit cold. Are they both

120
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: first rounders for you in twenty twenty six?

121
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: Potentially? Back end the first round is going to be

122
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: very packed this year. There's a lot of guys that

123
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: are making cases to move into it. So a Jay Rod,

124
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 3: who's still thirty thirty and very good, makes an argument

125
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: like maybe he should be taken over Kyle Tucker. Let's

126
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: say in those arguments where Vladdie's still very very good,

127
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: the lack of power and we know he can tap

128
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: into it in any given moment, he just doesn't enough.

129
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: I think that pushes him in a round two. That's

130
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: the only difference between the two. But I think I

131
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: wouldn't be shocked if you'll see drafts come February where

132
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: they're both in the back end Round one. Yeah.

133
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: I mean that could be an interesting kind of pairing.

134
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 2: At the end of the first round. You get the

135
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: big power, well, suppose the big power with load where

136
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: there's still the potential for thirty thirty five homers good

137
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: batting average floor, and then Julio provides some more of

138
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: the speed while still giving you power. I think we'll

139
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: probably see that combination a couple times in drafts next season.

140
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm already I'm sorry, Bubba, I'd like it. Oh yeah,

141
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: I think.

142
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: I think if you can do that, you're doing pretty well.

143
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: The thing with Vladdie that's always really appealing is that

144
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: high batting average with the supposed good power, Because there

145
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: are will be years where Laddie probably is in the twenties,

146
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: but there are also probably be years where Laddie gets

147
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: thirty seven thirty eight homers, And if you're getting that

148
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: with a three hundred batting average, that's very, very hard

149
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: to replicate.

150
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: As you go down the draft board.

151
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: There was an old fashioned pitching duel in Toronto on

152
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: Thursday afternoon. This one was very fun to watch between

153
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: Max Schurzer and Matthew Boyd. Fourth consecutive, really good one

154
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: for Sureser worked into the eighth inning while along just

155
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: one run on seventy eight pitches, down to a three

156
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: eighty three ERA and a one oh seven whip for

157
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: the season as a whole. But over these last four

158
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: star Schurezer has been phenomenal. What's your trust level on him?

159
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: Is he a set it and forget it at this

160
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: point for you? Or is he somebody that you're still

161
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: kind of picking and choosing your spots.

162
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: He said it and forget it as long as his

163
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 3: thumb is fine and he and his back is fine.

164
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 3: Because that's how Max has always been. That's how I've

165
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: approached Max during draft season. It's like, you know he's

166
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 3: gonna go on the il. Did you think it'd be

167
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: this bad this year? Probably not, But you expect these

168
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: situations to take place. But whenever he's been on the mound,

169
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: he's he's a bulldog. He's going to give you everything

170
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: he's got. He's he's showcased that he still has the

171
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: skills even last year in small samples. So yeah, you

172
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: said you forget, and you hope he makes five six

173
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: more starts.

174
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm wondering how the blue Jays are going to shake

175
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: up that playoff rotation. I'm assuming I shouldn't be kind

176
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: of my chickens before their hatch, but I think the Blue.

177
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: Jays are probably count Buddy count.

178
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: I'm I've been hurt. I've been hurt, Baba, But I

179
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: think that they're getting into the postseason. I just I

180
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: wonder if it's Gosman in game one, if its Sureser

181
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: in game one, if Shane Bieber comes back and looks

182
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: brilliant for a month, maybe it's Shane Bieber.

183
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: It's got to be Surezer man, it's got to be

184
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: Shurezer experience, the experience factor, because godsman, like I love Gosmind,

185
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: I know you love Gosplin, uh, but the consistency and strikeouts,

186
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: and it's you need a guy that's gonna set the tone.

187
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: It feels like in Game one, I think Suresier sets

188
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: the tone.

189
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think as of today it's probably Sureser. Gosman

190
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: Bieber is kind of a wild card. Maybe he's that

191
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: number three. It's a good problem to have for the

192
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. It is definitely a problem. I will take

193
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: over some of the problems we've seen over the previous

194
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: couple of years. But on the other side of that

195
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: pitching duel was Matthew Boyd. Only thing that hit him

196
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: was the Vlatti two run bomb. Other than that, struck

197
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: out five. Also, just seventy eight pitches through seven innings

198
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: for both of these starters. You really don't see that.

199
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: But he has a two forty six ra and a

200
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: one zero two whip. Matthew Boyd, who was drafted by

201
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays a decade ago, traded for David Price,

202
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: bounced around. You know, I'm sure Alex Fast and Nick

203
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: Pollock are smiling looking at what's happening here with Matthew Boyd. Well,

204
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: what do we make of this going forward? Is he

205
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: somebody that is just trustworthy now like going into next season,

206
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: is somebody like you expect good results again? Or are

207
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: we kind of just taking what we've got from him

208
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: and not trying to push it too much. Maybe, like

209
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, at his age, I'm kind of thinking

210
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to tap out after the season on the

211
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: Matthew Boyd chairs.

212
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is we're operating and borrowed time. Right now.

213
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 3: He's at one hundred and forty two and two thirds inning.

214
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: He hasn't thrown over one hundred innings since twenty nineteen.

215
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: We know the injury history. It's awesome what he's doing.

216
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: You're right it out till the legs fall off. But

217
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 3: you see guys like Michael King who had that big

218
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: innings jump, and it's been ugly this season, and there's

219
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: a handful of those type of pitchers. Maybe Boyd's different.

220
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: I will be avoiding that next season.

221
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: I think I will too, just because this season is

222
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: going to have people paying maybe not a top one

223
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: hundred price, but something in that ballpark. If he finishes

224
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: up with a mid two cra a low one whip,

225
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: I think that's going to get a little bit too

226
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: expensive for me. But man, has he ever been fantastic

227
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: this season. The other side of that has been Bailey

228
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 2: Over who has not been fantastic this season, but he's

229
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: made his way back hasn't been too bad in the

230
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: last couple of starts. He went five and a third

231
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: against the Tigers yesterday, three runs on four hits while

232
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: striking out three.

233
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: If you see him sitting in any.

234
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: Shallow waiver wires, because I know I dropped him in

235
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: a couple of leagues, would you be going out there

236
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: and adding Bailey Ober or do you think this is

237
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: still kind of just a lost season for him?

238
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: It's still a lost season for me. Like, yeah, he

239
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: went five and a third, still get up three runs,

240
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: he only struck out four. It's three straight games with

241
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 3: four k's. He doesn't have to strikeout stuff right now.

242
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: He only has eighty six k's and one hundred and

243
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 3: eight and a third innings this year. It's a ton

244
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: of pitching the contact. It's not the guy we thought

245
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 3: he was. And maybe he can figure things out in

246
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 3: the offseason and tweak some things. But I know myself

247
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: and many others had high expectations for him being like

248
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: the one b to Joe Ryan or one seed of

249
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: Ryan and Pablo this year in that twins rotation, and

250
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: it has not happened at all. For Bailey Ober and

251
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: he looks like a completely different arm from last year.

252
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: And I don't know if he's still injured. So we

253
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: know he battled that hip injury early on, finally went

254
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 3: on the IL SO one and so forth. But the

255
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: way he's pitching, the lack of success like swinging and

256
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: miss success and whatnot, is concerning for me.

257
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: You know, I went all off season like you, I

258
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: was interested in Bailey Ober. He was like SP two,

259
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: SP three on a bunch of teams. And then I

260
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: did this show in the preseason with Eno and Nick

261
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: and I asked them both, who's the one pitcher you're

262
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: fading in the top one hundred, and you know, without hesitation,

263
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: said Bailey Ober. And I probably should have listened a

264
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: little more when you know said that he knows what

265
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: he's talking about. You know, Sorrus, believe it or not.

266
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: With the pitching stuff, Let's talk Jose Ramirez. Another massive game,

267
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: three for four against the Marlins, three runs and two

268
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: stolen bases. This is a twenty five to thirty five

269
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: season for Jose for the second consecutive year, and it's

270
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: the first two times he's done this in his career.

271
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: Twenty five homers, thirty five stolen bases at age thirty

272
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: one and thirty two. Is he a slam dunk Hall

273
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: of Famer at this point? Jose Ramirez, because I don't

274
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: even know what the fantasy conversation to have anymore. I

275
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: put him on the sheet because I wanted to talk

276
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: about him because he's just so fantastic.

277
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: But he's a clear.

278
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: First cut first rounder, whether it's rest of season heading

279
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: in the next year. I think he might get into

280
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: Cooperstown at this point, though, what do you think, Bobba?

281
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 3: He should? He really should for a lot of reasons.

282
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: I'm glad you put him on the sheet because outside

283
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: of Cleveland, he probably doesn't get the love he deserves

284
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 3: for what he does, like I do. Fantasy people appreciate him,

285
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: but it's always twenty twenty. You mentioned, like, we're probably

286
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: getting another thirty thirty coming up here. Nearly went forty

287
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: forty last year. But he also does this by hitting

288
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: two eighty to two ninety every single season. He's usually

289
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: good for two hundred runs in RBIs plus every single

290
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: season on usually a bad Cleveland Guardians offense. Like he's

291
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: doing things that most people don't do. He deserves all

292
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: the love, and it would be crazy if he's not

293
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame, Like, you know, first ballot,

294
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: that's a whole nother conversation. I stay out of that

295
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 3: political jargon, but like he should be pretty quickly all

296
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: things consider, do thirty two, which is nuts as well.

297
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: He's not built like a speedster. I can say these things. So, like,

298
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: it's pretty impressive to watch what he does. It's just

299
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: consistent day in and day out, and he plays almost

300
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: every day. He played hurt most of the last season.

301
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: Like he's just a beast. He deserves to be in

302
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame.

303
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 2: And if it wasn't for that last game getting canceled

304
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: or rained out or whatever, he might have gone forty forty,

305
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: went thirty nine to forty one. I mean, the Bill

306
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: thing is so interesting with him as a third baseman.

307
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: If you just looked at him, you think, yeah, he's

308
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: probably okay, serviceable whatever, thirty to five run saved in

309
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 2: his career, forty eight outs above average at third base,

310
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: to go along with nearly three hundred steals, nearly three

311
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: hundred homers.

312
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was a crazy question.

313
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: Honestly, he's at fifty seven career f woar at age

314
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 2: thirty two. This should be a slam dunk Hall of

315
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: Famer if the voters have their head screwed on right,

316
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: which isn't always the case, but I think Jose Ramirez

317
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: will probably be somebody who does get a plaque in

318
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 2: Cooperstown one day.

319
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: This one. I don't know.

320
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to be un alarmist or whatever, but

321
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: I do want to talk about Terique School because his

322
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: last four starts, or actually his last six starts haven't

323
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: really been Tarik Schooble esque Yesterday, seven innings, six hits,

324
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: three year in runs, only three strikeouts and two walks

325
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: over his last six starts, a three seven two ERA

326
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: and a three forty one FIP. Now, for most pitchers,

327
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: this is not anything that I'd even think is even

328
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: worth talking about. But for Terik Schooble, little bit of

329
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: a downturn. Any concern here? Do you think that he's

330
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: maybe slowing down? Guy with a career with some injury

331
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: history in his career. Is there any concern here over

332
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: the last couple months of the season.

333
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 3: I get where you're coming from. I'm still pretty optimistic

334
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: on all things here, as long as the Velo stays

335
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: the same as you know, he's not going to dominate

336
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: every time out and that'll that'll happen. Like we're looking

337
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: at Paul skiings right now, as last two starts have

338
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: been real rough for Paul skiing standards. Then again, you

339
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: know he's still pitching. Well, so it's late, it's August,

340
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: the weather, there's a lot of factors in play right now.

341
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: So I'm going to take it with a grain of salt. Now,

342
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: if it continues a few more starts, let's get worried.

343
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: It could have been the Scooby doo a cleats he

344
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: was wearing Thursday, Like, who knows, But yeah, that's I'm

345
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: going to try to keep things optimistic, but it is.

346
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: It has definitely been a rough patch for scoobab standards.

347
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially if you're using him in DFS or something

348
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: paying up, then you have not been happy with it.

349
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: But I think that what's really interesting is the Cy

350
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: Young conversation has probably gotten a little closer with him

351
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: and Garrett Crochet. They've both made twenty four starts. They've

352
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: both pitched exactly one hundred and fifty two and a

353
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: third innings, which is pretty phenomenal. And the era is

354
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: separated by point zero six two forty two versus two

355
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: forty eight Scooble and then Crochet, So I think this

356
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: is potentially something that's really close over the final month

357
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: or so. Scooble's got him beat in terms of strikeout rate,

358
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: in terms of whips, so maybe this isn't as close

359
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: as I'm making it out to be, but I think

360
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: Eric Rochet could make it a conversation with five or

361
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: six dominance starts in the last month of the year.

362
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: I've kind of given up on my de gram Cy

363
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: Young hopes. I don't think that's happening.

364
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: It's been rough lately.

365
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: It's been a little bit rough lately, and he gets

366
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: my Blue Jays tonight, so part of me hopes it

367
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: continues to be a little bit rough for Jake on

368
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: tonight's slate. One more name in the headlines. Breton Doyle

369
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: hit his eleventh home run of the season, and I

370
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: thought it was worth talking about just because he has

371
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: also kind of turned his season around since June twenty six.

372
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: He's hitting three twenty seven, six homers, three steals, a

373
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: one thirty one WRC plus and one thing I think

374
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: is worth noting is that Breton Doyle his wife suffered

375
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: a miscarriage, a rather public miscarriage at the beginning of

376
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: the season, and a lot of the time we kind

377
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: of just ignore the personal side. We see these guys

378
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: as just stat accumulators and don't really think about their

379
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: personal lives. But that's exactly the type of thing that

380
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: would make you have it down a few months, and

381
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: it looks like Breton Doyle gratefully is coming out of

382
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: that on the good side.

383
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: Bubba, Yeah, I love it. I've gone through at Brent

384
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: Doyles and his wife are going through. So it's not ideal,

385
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: so I can get where coming out of the big

386
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: league field is not the best thing to do during

387
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: certain occasions. But it's good to see because one thing

388
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: that we've been pounding the drum on Doyle on the

389
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: Bubba and the Bloom is at all the underlying metrics mimic.

390
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: Last season, he just wasn't getting the results. The Babbitt

391
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: was there, those kinds of things, and we started seeing

392
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: it creep up. You mentioned the last run he's been on.

393
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: I picked him up in a couple of leagues the

394
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: last like three weeks or so, where people gave up

395
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: on him. I think we are going to get a

396
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: good six weeks here from Brenton Doyle, and I kind

397
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: of hope he doesn't because it'd be nice to get

398
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: some value cup draft day. But he's training in the

399
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: right direction for sure.

400
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got who was a top one hundred pick

401
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: next or last year. We'll probably be able to get

402
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: at a little bit of a discount heading into next season.

403
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: It's like a couple of questions here, what do we

404
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: do with Chase Burns. I don't think you can really

405
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: do anything right now. If they actually put him into

406
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: the bullpen, which I don't think there's been an official

407
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: move made. If they do that, then maybe he's a

408
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: drop for now. I think you just got to roll

409
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 2: with him, though, Bubby, what do you think?

410
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're rolling now. They drop the bomb on like

411
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 3: Monday that hey, we're gonna limit his innings, but we

412
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: don't know how. And now it's Friday, we still haven't

413
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 3: heard how he's actually supposed to. This is his day

414
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 3: in the rotation, but Nick Martinez is getting to start

415
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 3: on Friday, so we'll have to wait and see, Like

416
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 3: if he gets to Garrett Crochet treatment or it's go

417
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: out and throw three innings to strike out eight. Well,

418
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: then you roll with it. If he gets to piggyback

419
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: on Nick Martinez, even better, if he goes to the bullpen,

420
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 3: we got issues, So we have to kind of wait

421
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: and see. The Reds are a half game out of

422
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: a wild card right now, so they want Chase Burns, Like,

423
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: can you imagine that arm coming out in games in

424
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 3: the postseason. That's a that's a that's a weapon, folks.

425
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, they want to keep him healthy and ready

426
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 3: to roll.

427
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that rotation could potentially be very scary in a

428
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 2: couple of years. That three headed monster if Abbott even

429
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: technically counts as the third head. But Green and Burns

430
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 2: man like, that is one two potentially guys who could win.

431
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: Cy Young's going forward, no question in my mind.

432
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: Corey Seger, is he worth keeping in the fourth round

433
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: depends on a couple of factors.

434
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: But you don't think so, Bubba.

435
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: I've never Corey Siger. The dude, if he plays over

436
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 3: one hundred games, you've had to win with Corey Sieger.

437
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 3: He's done it a few times. I'm not gonna say

438
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: he hasn't. But he has to play obviously to get stats,

439
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 3: and he doesn't do that very often, so like his

440
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 3: skill sets more of a round seven or eight.

441
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: Guy for me. Okay, okay, I've given a little best played.

442
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah that's totally fair. Like I think I'm a little

443
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: bit higher on him. But the fourth I.

444
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 2: Mean, if it's like a fifteen team league, maybe, but yeah,

445
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: I think I think most people are playing in tens twelves.

446
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonta side with Bubba here.

447
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: I don't think I could do it in the fourth

448
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: Ranger Suarez, do I drop him? His second half has

449
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: been no Boyeno. The Phillies are gonna be going to

450
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: a six man rotation with are Nola coming back, so

451
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: they're not kicking him out or anything. But Bubba, would

452
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: you be kicking him out of your rotations?

453
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 4: Uh?

454
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: The like fifteen teams, no twelve and less? He's a

455
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 3: streamer now, so yeah, I could see play. I give

456
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 3: Herson and Waldrips out there. I'd rather give a him

457
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: a shot stuff like that, go like hirston Waldrip but

458
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: he's like round fifty ish percent on off the top

459
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 3: of my head and like get FBC, so Yahoo's he's

460
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: probably down, Like I'll probaly right about him this week

461
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: for Fantasy pros. He's so low and so yeah, there's

462
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 3: there's a world where you can stream Rangers scores.

463
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 2: Let's take one or two more, uh, Andrew Harr Berger

464
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: or McMahon and five by five with hits instead of average.

465
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: I feel like it's andw harr That was my initial

466
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: hit here.

467
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: What do you think, Bubba?

468
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Burger is a platoon and that's happening even

469
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 3: though people don't want to accept that, and it sucks

470
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: because I love Jake Burger. We share a lot of similarities.

471
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: Ryan McMahon is just not good at baseball and and

472
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: harr is hitting cleanup. He'll be on the road this week,

473
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 3: but that means he probably goes home the following week.

474
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: Like you, you roll with this while he's hitting clean

475
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: up on a very hot team and a very good ballpark.

476
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: I think I am with you.

477
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: We'll get back to a couple of questions later on

478
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: in the show, but we're gonna give something away first.

490
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: about a couple of farewells. Carlos Carrasco designated for assignment

491
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: by the Braves. I think that he should just hang

492
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: him up at this point. It's been rough for three

493
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: years at least with Carrasco. It's easy to forget how

494
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: good he was in the mid twenty tens with Cleveland.

495
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: But Carlos Carrasco DFAD and a really surprising one. Carrasco,

496
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm not that surprising. Nathaniel Lao maybe not super surprising,

497
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: but the day after a Grand Slam, maybe he wasn't

498
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 2: expecting to get cut from the team. Do you think

499
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: he latches on anywhere? My first thought was maybe Boston

500
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 2: with all their first base troubles.

501
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 3: Boston makes sense and our bubble and Lim discord. They

502
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: mentioned Abraham Torres playing first base, so this is a

503
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: good fit. And I saw a lot of Rangers people

504
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: talking about low and he has eighteen home runs on

505
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 3: the air, that's third on the Rangers. Like the fact

506
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 3: the Nationals they kept Josh Bell over in Nathaniel low

507
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: and I like Josh Bell. They're kind They're kind of

508
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: like the Spider Man gift. But it was very surprising

509
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: because Lowe's young. He still seems like there might be something.

510
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 3: I guess it's just a weird move all around.

511
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

512
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't really expecting it, not that he was somebody

513
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: I was using. I actually saw a couple of people

514
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: talking about, like, maybe it's Josh Bell who gets cut.

515
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: I've been starting Josh Bell in a couple leagues.

516
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: He hasn't been too bad the last couple of weeks

517
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 2: and fifteen teamers as a corner option. So I'm glad

518
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: it wasn't him, But I think Nathaniel Ao probably does

519
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: catch on somewhere help somebody out over the last month

520
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: of the season. Let's talk about Jacob Marci though my word, Bubba.

521
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: He has been unbelievable seventeen for forty three. That's a

522
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: three ninety five adding average with eight homers or excuse me,

523
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: eight runs, three homers, thirteen and six deals in just

524
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: fourteen games.

525
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: Do you buy it?

526
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: Do you buy that this is somebody who could be

527
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: a legit fantasy asset or is this just, you know,

528
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 2: a hot streak to start the career, similarly to what

529
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: we saw with Warming Burnabell a couple of weeks ago.

530
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: It's a hot streak. He's better than a Warming Bernabille.

531
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 3: I'll vouch for that. But you know he's already got

532
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: the three homers and six deals. He's a speed demon.

533
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: He had forty seven steals at Triple A this year

534
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: at fifty one last season, so the speed, I don't deny.

535
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: The plate skills match what we've seen before. He's more

536
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 3: of a two sixtie ish hitter though, and the power

537
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: is not crazy. But you never know. He's also only

538
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: twenty four years old, so like we could see, guys

539
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 3: always take that jump. I think he's gonna be very

540
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 3: very good. I think he's still more of a rabbit

541
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: than anything, So don't get too excited there, but hey,

542
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: ride this while you can, because it's a lot of fun,

543
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: and it's always great when you can get a late

544
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 3: season fab pickup to kind of drive you home.

545
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, you feel like most of the good pickups

546
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: are gone, but then every now and then you get

547
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: blessed with the Jacob Marci. We're drafting that team for

548
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 2: next year, and that'll be a week or so from now.

549
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: Tuesday night, Where do you where do you think Marcy

550
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: ends up going? You think he's a top one hundred

551
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: and fifty hundred twenty five, Like, we're off the top

552
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 2: of your head.

553
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: What do you think?

554
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do eleven rounds that night and then we

555
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: pick it up later, so that'd be about one hundred

556
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: and sixty five picks. I don't think he gets drafted

557
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 3: on Wednesday night. I don't think people are willing to

558
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: buy that just yet. But dude, all it takes is

559
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 3: a because we're drafted early now. If you have six

560
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: more good weeks when you and I start drafting a

561
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 3: little later, that conversation could quickly change. So if I

562
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 3: had to say right now, he's more of a like

563
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 3: late hundreds, early two hundreds picked for me still, but

564
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: a lot can check Chandler Simpson will go ahead of

565
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: him and stuff like that. If you want the rabbit.

566
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: Types m and that's an interesting conversation. Like Simpson with

567
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: no average, better batting average, no power. Marci gives you

568
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 2: a little bit of power. Worst lineup much worse.

569
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: Paul Park.

570
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: I don't even know where the Rais are going to

571
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: be playing next year if it's been announced, But I

572
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 2: think who nobody knows, Isaac Collins or Jacob Marci rest

573
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: of season.

574
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: That's a tricky one. I might go Collins with the lineup.

575
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that Brewer's team. Like, if I have any

576
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: I've mentioned it last night, if I have any pitchers

577
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 3: scheduled to face up any pitchers, like, I'm very scared.

578
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 3: I don't care if who like Treak Scooba, I'm still

579
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 3: scared because this team is just beating up on everybody.

580
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, schemes. The other night it was foreign runs.

581
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: He looks very pedestrian, very pedestrian against the Brewers, who

582
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: are like twenty twenty eight and four something over their

583
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: last month and a half.

584
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: It's it's laughable. You know, my dad will eight games, eight.

585
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 3: Games up on the Cubs right now, Dude, eight games

586
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: up on the Cubs for second place, and real quick,

587
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 3: if you have Isaac Collins this weekend and you could

588
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,239
Speaker 3: take him out, he's on portunity to relief to do that.

589
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that is a good That is a good tidbit.

590
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: My dad always talks about a Detroit Tigers team from

591
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: the eighties. I think it's the eighty four Detroit Tigers.

592
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: They started like forty five and five and then played

593
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 2: about five hundred ball the rest of the way. But

594
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: those those hot streaks can really just cement your season,

595
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 2: even if it is just thirty forty games. Even if

596
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 2: the Brewers come back down to Earth, I think they've

597
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: pretty much wrapped up the central there in the National League.

598
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: Let's get to the three up and three down.

599
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: Did not expect this name on the list, but Edwarter

600
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: Rodriguez picked up a W after tossing seven innings of

601
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: one run ball with six strikeouts. It was the Rockies,

602
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: but still good stuff from Edwater Rodriguez. Bryce elder blast

603
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: in the past year having a good start as well,

604
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 2: seven innings, picking up the W, allowing just two earned

605
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: runs on five hits against the Metropolitans, and Lordus Gouriel

606
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 2: went one for four but that one was a three

607
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 2: run homer. He drew a free pass and he also

608
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: stole a base. But anything on e Rod Elder or Guriel.

609
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,239
Speaker 3: E Rod's had his moments this year. I won't deny that.

610
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 3: But it also shows how bad the Rockies are. I

611
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 3: will never trust Brice Elder, so kudos to him and Lord's.

612
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 3: Guriel is having a horrible season, so it's good to

613
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: see him get a little love there off of Mookie

614
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: Blaylock in Colorado.

615
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know with him, he's always for me, been

616
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: like a cheaper Brian Reynolds.

617
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: He's going to be a consistent, consistent.

618
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 2: Twenty homers, two eighty batting average, not going to hurt you.

619
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: But they've both they've both hurt you this year from

620
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: where you drafted the Reynolds. I mean, he's been in

621
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: and out, but overall kind of disappointing from the both

622
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 2: of them. Blaylock in Colorado, this has gotten real ugly.

623
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: It was already pretty ugly, but seven earned runs while

624
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 2: walking for and allowing six hits over three and two

625
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: thirds against the A four mentioned Diamondbacks.

626
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: That is that's awful.

627
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: Like the whole Rockies rotation, I don't know how these guys, Like,

628
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: what does the pitching coach even say at this point?

629
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: Like do your best, champ, Like, I don't even know.

630
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: It's a tough job, tough gig for.

631
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 3: A team that tries to save so much money. I'm

632
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: surprised they pay a pitching good.

633
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: That's pretty fair. Honestly, Maybe they just watched a couple

634
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 2: of YouTube videos. Take a look at some pretty best

635
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: take a look at some fingers.

636
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 3: They bring up Tomamanski videos from nineteen eighty four with

637
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: Fred McGriff and figure it out.

638
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: Oh man, this one was a surprising one to see

639
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 2: on the downs, but you know it had to happen eventually.

640
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: Edward Cabrera did have a rare bad start five earned

641
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: runs on seven hits and three walks over five and

642
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: a third against the Guardians, and Ryan Helsley copped up

643
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 2: the Mets eighth inning lead, allowing two earned runs and

644
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: taking the loss. A real loss for fantasy managers with

645
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 2: Ryan Helsley, if you hadn't dropped him before, you definitely

646
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: should be doing so. Now let's talk some injuries. Ronald

647
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: Acunya Junior expected to return from his calf strain over

648
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 2: the weekend. Any expectation here, Bubba, like, do you think

649
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: we're going to see him back to classic Acunya or

650
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 2: are they going to kind of take it easy because

651
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: the Braves don't really have any reason to risk anything here.

652
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: They are fifteen games below five hundred, not playing for anything.

653
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: Do you think they take it easy with Akunya and

654
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 2: like play him on a part time basis or do

655
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 2: you think it just wheels up?

656
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: He's back, He's going to be good to go.

657
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 3: I think he's good to go because I first when

658
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 3: he got heard him like why rush him back? You

659
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 3: have nothing to play it for. They rushed him back.

660
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: He's all excited. He posted something on his Instagram earlier

661
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 3: this morning about it was a crow unlocking the pin

662
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: from a grenade, like he's back, ready to go, So

663
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's like, yeah, it was weird, but

664
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 3: it's basically means he's ready to go. So yeah, I

665
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: think if he's playing, it's all systems go. I'm just

666
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: very nervous about it because we need run on the

667
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 3: cuney in our lives, and I don't like how these

668
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 3: injuries keep getting occurring with.

669
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: Him hosting like a wide receiver notes is gonna be interesting.

670
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: Is he a first round pick for you as of

671
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: right now for next year or does the injuries scare

672
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: you off?

673
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: Injury scare I mean like he deserves to be a

674
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 3: first round pick. I'm very cautious with my drafting and

675
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: I will probably go somewhere else, but we always know

676
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 3: how healthy Acuna is probably one of the best players

677
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 3: in baseball.

678
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for me as like a volume guy,

679
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: although I'll probably cut down a little bit next year.

680
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: There'll be like one or two times where I see

681
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 2: Acunya there and it's like he's fallen to the back

682
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: of the second and it's like, Okay, I'm gonna do it.

683
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it.

684
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't recommend that for everybody, but I feel like

685
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: if you're playing in a bunch of leagues, one or

686
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: two shares of Acunya probably doesn't hurt this The one

687
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: does hurt though. Michael King placed on the il. It's

688
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: like the Abe Simpson Grandpa Simpson meme right back on

689
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: it with left knee inflammation.

690
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: Not good for Michael King.

691
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: But on the other side, Aaron Nola will be activated

692
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: by the Phillies for his start on Sunday against the Nationals,

693
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: and the team, like I mentioned earlier, is going to

694
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: opt to go with a six man rotation for the

695
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: time being, I've been stashing Nola in the Bubba and

696
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: the Bloom Auction Champion, which is my best team this year.

697
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: Probably I got a chance to win that league, but

698
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if Aaron Nola is going to really

699
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: help me along the way. Do you expect much from

700
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: Aaronola over the last couple of months.

701
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: With good and rehab. We know the roller coaster that

702
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: is Aaron Nola, So you'll probably get a few good ones,

703
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: probably get a few rough ones. Hopefully you play them accordingly.

704
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: So are you picking and choosing your spots with him? Then?

705
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: Like a Nationals I think he's we all agree he's

706
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: going in there against the Nationals. But let's say it's

707
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: a you know, twelfth or thirteenth rank offense type of deal,

708
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: middle of the pack.

709
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: Would you be opposed to sitting him?

710
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: I would never be opposed to sitting Aaron Nola in

711
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 3: a fifteen team league. As the one you're is the

712
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: one you're discussing with the Bubble in the Bloom League,

713
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: you're probably playing them about eighty percent of the time

714
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 3: at least that's the deal. So yeah, you're you're committed,

715
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 3: especially if you held him this long like you're rolling,

716
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, you're starting the Aranola.

717
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: He was a fab pick up for me in that league,

718
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: as somebody else dropped him and I was like, oh, okay,

719
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: But we've also got Zach Allen on that team, Shane McClanahan,

720
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: who will be hitting the waiver wire this weekend, who

721
00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: I've been stupidly sitting on.

722
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: So we gotta work some things out with the pitching

723
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: on that squad for sure.

724
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: Jacob Wilson some good news will begin to rehab assignment

725
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: on Saturday. This one kind of surprises me because he

726
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: fractured his forearm not all that long ago and he's

727
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: already going to be starting a rehab assignment. I've dropped

728
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: him where I have him in non IL leagues. Just

729
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: don't think there's really going to be a ton there

730
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: the rest of the season, Bubba, What do you think

731
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: from Jacob Wilson any interests the rest of the season.

732
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: Not really like he's had a heck of a year.

733
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: He still might come back and hit for average. The

734
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 3: power was already felt flukish with that kind of injury,

735
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 3: I'm concerned, Like, maybe he figures it out. I'm not

736
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: saying he won't. Like the dude's really really good, it

737
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: looks like, but I'm not overly optimistic for the last

738
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: few weeks.

739
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I you know, the power is always the big

740
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: question coming back from a fractured forearm. He might not

741
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: hit another home run. He might have not hit another

742
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: home run even without the forearm. So this is something

743
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: that I think we can I think for the most part,

744
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: unless you really need batting average, you can probably avoid

745
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: Jacob Wilson.

746
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: Dylan Cruz this one. He's finally back.

747
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: I think most of us have kind of forgotten about

748
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: Dylan Cruz, but he was officially activated by the NASH

749
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: went one for three in his return with a stolen

750
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: with excuse me, with a stolen base, and did bat

751
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: second in the order. He's like fifty percent rostered on Yahoo.

752
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: I would imagine that some people in the online championship,

753
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: like twelve team leagues on the NFBC have dropped him

754
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: at this point. I just can't imagine somebody's been holding

755
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: on the entire year. Maybe some people have, but if

756
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: you see him sitting out there anywhere Babba's Dylan CRU's

757
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: worth a pickup, especially if he needs steals.

758
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: If he needs steals, definitely, definitely on play there. He's

759
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: probably better than Jacob Marcy, to be totally honest with you,

760
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 3: So I think he's more of a consistent power guy

761
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 3: than Jacob Marcy. I don't know what to expect the

762
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: rest of the way because he hasn't really fully hit

763
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: the stride we wanted with Dylan Cruz, and then the

764
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: injury derailed a lot of that. But if you want speed,

765
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 3: like you said, he proved it on Thursday night, right

766
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: out the gate, He's going to run wild with that

767
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 3: NAT's team.

768
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I agree, you know.

769
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 2: And also the fact that it's been a little bit

770
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: of time, and sometimes with these young guys, he's seen

771
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: major league pitching. He's had time now to look at

772
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: all the iPads and all the tape and everything. Maybe

773
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: he's made a couple of adjustments and he can come

774
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: back looking a little bit better than he did at

775
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season. Paul Goldschmid dealing with a

776
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: low grade knee sprain, but helps to avoid the il

777
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 2: and honestly, I don't even know why I included this

778
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: last one, but I just felt like he was worth

779
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: mentioning because I don't think we've mentioned him on the

780
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: show even once this year. Chris Bryant will not play

781
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: again in twenty twenty five, and I wonder if he'll

782
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: ever play again, Bubba, do you think he ever sets

783
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: foot on a major league field again?

784
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: He'll try to because as lame as this sounds, he's

785
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 3: a competitor, but he shouldn't. I'm just gonna put it.

786
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 3: I've if anybody's listened to my shows, I have been

787
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: one of the most anti Chris Briant guys for about

788
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: five or six years now at least. So yeah, he

789
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: needs to just stay away. He's had it. Hey, great career, kudos,

790
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 3: you made a ton of money on a Rockies team

791
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: that doesn't know how to spend it. But just call

792
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 3: it a day, buddy, You.

793
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: Got the MVP.

794
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: You brought the Cubs back from the grave with that

795
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: World Series. I believe that was the same year. Just

796
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: hang him up, go sit on the rock and porch.

797
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: Take Justin Verlander with you and just wro.

798
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: Yes, please, good Lord, yes, take Verlander. Taking Bob Melvin too,

799
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 3: don't get me started. Sorry, where are.

800
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: We Erlander, Carrasco, maybe Nate Low. It's gonna be a

801
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: big party on the porch sipping lemonades. Let's take a

802
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: couple of questions before we get to the bets. Drop Williams,

803
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: I assume Devin for will Vest? I think so, Yeah,

804
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: I think I would.

805
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, I'm a huge Devin Williams guy, but he

806
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 3: ain't closed it. And will Vest it's gonna be annoying

807
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 3: with Aj Hench and Kyle Finnigan's party. But yes, will

808
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 3: Vest is a better option.

809
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: Aj Hinch hates us in a similar way to how

810
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: Rockoball Delli hates us. He doesn't care about Fantasy Baseball

811
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: even a little bit. Finnigan today, best tomorrow? A third

812
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: guy the third day after. You just never really know

813
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: what you're gonna get. Would you drop Beck for Marcie?

814
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: I would?

815
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: I would drop Jordan back for Jacob Marci right now?

816
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: He is absolutely on fire. Bubba, you agree, Yeah, yeah,

817
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: I agree.

818
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 3: Like Beck's you know you want to stream him in couters,

819
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 3: but if you want long term, you want Marcy.

820
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and game of also asking Becker Doyle next year

821
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 2: for me I think it's gonna be Brenton Doyle, but

822
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: Jordan Beck has also had a really solid year and

823
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: will probably be a dec and mid to late round

824
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: pick next year, I would imagine.

825
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: But it's Brenton Doyle for me.

826
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 3: Yep, I agree with all that it's Doyle for me,

827
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: but Beck will have a little bit of a pel

828
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,479
Speaker 3: Coume draft day for sure.

829
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: Yes, one more Reynolds or Luis Robert Junior rest of

830
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 2: season man Reynolds. I think I think I go Reynolds.

831
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: It's lou Bob for me. Lou Bub's actually hitting over

832
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: three hundred, He's got power, he's got speed, and that

833
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 3: White Sox offense is not a walk in the park anymore.

834
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll take I'll take lou Bob.

835
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that's fair.

836
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe I'll change my answer to lou Bob,

837
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 2: although I don't really feel too too strongly about it.

838
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: But let's get to some things I do feel strongly about,

839
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: and those are the.

840
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: Best bets of the day. Bubba, Let's start with you today.

841
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: What do you have for the people on this fine

842
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 2: Friday on the betting markets?

843
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 3: As people know, I like my prop bets I like

844
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 3: my plus money prop bets. I think we hit one

845
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: of three last week so on Friday, so a little, little,

846
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: little lower than we'd like to get here, So let's

847
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 3: fix that. We're gonna start with Jeremy Paanya and the

848
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 3: Houston Astros. They take on Brandon Young of Baltimore. Not good.

849
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 3: Pain is leading off playing great this year. He's another

850
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 3: twenty twenty guy. So over three hits runs and RBIs

851
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 3: for plus one thirty. We've got Corbyn Carrol heading into

852
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 3: coors Field, which is always great. Taking on Tanner Gordon. Yeah,

853
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: Tanner Gordon exactly over four hits runs in RBI is

854
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 3: like you could probably if you want to take, like

855
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 3: you know, Joe and the guy Sabot ladders for strikeouts,

856
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 3: if you want to take a ladder for the hits

857
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 3: runs and RBIs with Carol, I'm not opposed to that.

858
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 3: And then Robin Anthony. I love this number. It actually

859
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 3: surprised me to get plus one forty five over three

860
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 3: with Anthony. He's been red hot, usually hitting at the

861
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 3: top of the order. Sandy Alcandra has been back on

862
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 3: the struggle bus of late, and the Miami bullpen is

863
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: not good like Robin Anthony. I think he's cann get

864
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 3: plenty of opportunities to make some noise in thiss one

865
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 3: to get plus one forty five. I like this a ton.

866
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: So those are my three bets for the night.

867
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 2: I love Roman Anthony so much, and I hate that

868
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 2: he's gonna be playing for a division rival for the

869
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: next ten to twelve years or whatever it's going to be.

870
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 2: It's definitely annoying, but he is a fantastic player. The

871
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 2: other night we were talking about him and he had

872
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: four walks stolen base, Like he just he does everything.

873
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: He really does everything. What do you think he goes

874
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: next year? I feel like he's a fourth or fifth

875
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: round pick.

876
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 3: What about you, Yeah, he's fourth or fifth. I could

877
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 3: see another strong finish to the year. He's creeping up

878
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 3: into like he's better. He should be going higher than

879
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 3: Michael Harris used to go. Let's put it that way,

880
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 3: Like basically, I think what we saw with the Jackson

881
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: curio bump last year in a round two, Anthony's not

882
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 3: far behind that.

883
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 2: Man.

884
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 1: I could see it. I could see it if Anthony

885
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: finishes odd.

886
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 3: Because the hype's real with him. The hype's real with him. Dude.

887
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 2: If he has a Wyatt Langford type of September and

888
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: hit seven homers and steal seven bases, forget about it.

889
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: That price is going to be unbelievable. Let's talk about

890
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 2: some of my bets. To no surprise, Jacob de Gram

891
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 2: is among them. But there's a reason for it. I'm

892
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: not just blindly taking Jacob de Gram here over five

893
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 2: and a half strikeouts at plus money. He has been

894
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 2: hitting this number consistently, even with his struggles over the

895
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: last few starts. Eight, five, eight, nine, and eight are

896
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 2: his last five games facing.

897
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: The Toronto Blue Jays.

898
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: This one might be a little bit tricky, but I

899
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: do think he is able to get over five and

900
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: a half and I think it's worth taking the shot

901
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: at plus one twenty d Bax Rockies first five over

902
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: six and a half runs. This one comes down to

903
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: the pitchers. Brandon fought, who man, I was wrong? Well,

904
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: Brandon fought. I thought he was gonna have kind of

905
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: a breakout year. He has not even close. I even

906
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: been close to a breakout year. He's been awful. And

907
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 2: on the other side, Tanner Gordon says, hold my beer

908
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: with his eight thirty seven ERA and one eighty nine

909
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: whip for the season.

910
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: Yes, those are real numbers. Those are not typos.

911
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: He is awful, and I think the over six and

912
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 2: a half here at plus money is the way to go,

913
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 2: even if you're taking the full game over. If you

914
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,479
Speaker 2: want to shop for a better line, I'm totally fine

915
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: on either side of that one. And then Luis Heel

916
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 2: over five and a half strikeouts. Didn't have the greatest

917
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: couple of starts off of his rehab, but he did

918
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 2: have seven strikeouts in his most recent start against the Ashros.

919
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 2: Actually it was pretty solid. The second one was solid,

920
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 2: the first one was kind of shaky. But building off

921
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 2: of that seven strikeout game and getting him again over

922
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: five and a half goes at plus one sixty two

923
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 2: really good line, even against a Cardinals team that does

924
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: not strike out a ton. I'm really liking this one today.

925
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the home run board and

926
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: see if we've had any movement positive. Grouch at fifty

927
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 2: one at the top, Whips at forty nine, George forty seven,

928
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: Bees at forty six, and the Fisher King at forty five.

929
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: That will round out the top five for us. It's

930
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: been a rough year for me.

931
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: On the home run board and I will not be

932
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 2: on this sheet. Shout out to Walkee Penguin as well,

933
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 2: by the way, who has been in the chat at

934
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: twelfth with thirty nine homers. Baba, where are you going

935
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 2: for your home run call today? I don't think we're

936
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 2: going to see you on the board either this year,

937
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 2: but where are you at today?

938
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: My friend?

939
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I always forget to put my picks in early

940
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 3: the season, so it's kind of a lost cause to

941
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 3: get on the board at any point in time. But

942
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 3: I'm going Corbyn Carrol, I'll back at my hits runs

943
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 3: and RBIs I like your pick as well. We'll be

944
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 3: in the same ballpark, but yeah, give you Corbyn Carroll.

945
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mentioned Tanner Gordon earlier. He is like he

946
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 2: has hilariously bad numbers and Ka tell Marte will be

947
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 2: my home run pick for today and that will be

948
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 2: it for the week. Ladies and gentlemen. It's been a

949
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 2: lot of fun here with Bubba, as it always is.

950
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,040
