WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off July 22nd 2022 (Ep. 558) 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:17.080 Bueller, anyone, let's play ball. Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros. 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.360 This is leading off, brought to you by bet MGM, 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.479 the King of sports Books. It's me, Joey p Joe 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.680 Piezopia with me is the Welsh, and of course it's 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.920 the Peanuts and the Crackerjacks and all of us hanging 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.280 out talking baseball. We've got games back today. I know 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.160 yesterday we had games too, but it was like, eh, 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:34.760 whatever games. Now we've got a full slate of games 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.559 tonight we can dive back into all of the props, 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.800 which there's a lot today. We're gonna do some DFS 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.280 stuff today. Lots of fun things happening in the world 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.640 of baseball and Welsh. One of my favorite things this 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.640 time of year for the next few weeks is when 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.879 fantasy analysts pretend that they are Ken Rosenthal, When fantasy 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.160 analysts on Twitter pretend that they are breaking news where 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.160 they literally take news from somebody who does this for 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.320 a living and then post it on their Twitter or 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.560 social media things where they're like, apparently the Yankees, don't 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:08.920 you know, uh sources tell us or tell me like, no, no, 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.200 not a source. You read it in an article somewhere 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.679 you're JABRONI you're not breaking this news. That is my 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:15.840 favorite thing. I love that. 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:17.960 I thought you were gonna say just the trade deadline, 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.920 but you want another, anyone you want? 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.800 I know, news is the best. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:25.039 Yeah, no, I know this. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:26.920 I see I see a couple of people where it's like, 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.680 you'll get you know, Jeff Passing breaking news, and then 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.280 three minutes later you'll get someone instead of giving that 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:36.320 a retweet, they'll just regurgitate it in their own Johnny Roto. 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:43.319 Johnny Roto says, uh per sources. Come on, dude, it's like, oh, 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.880 it's just it's just my favorite. I love it. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.319 It makes me I also enjoy that. 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.120 It's you know, if you want to retweet and comment 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.200 about it, sure, if you want to talk about what 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.680 the fantasy implications of these players potentially moving or not moving, 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.840 that's all great, Like that's good, that's what you're supposed 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.040 to do. But when they live shit just like copy 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.080 and paste it as though they're the ones reporting it. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.120 It just I gotta know off air, when we get 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:06.960 off air, I gotta know who the person that comes 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:07.560 to mind buying. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.560 I don't even know. I just I just saw this 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.239 Ericson just sent that to me. By this is completely 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.400 a secondary thing because I just before it came on, 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.760 I saw somebody post something about that, and I saw 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.680 Friedman's little tweet about the other thing, and I'm like, 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:20.800 who is that? I don't know. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.240 Well, I did see some fantasy football drama of a 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:28.880 guy that took an article and then literally just regurgitated 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.480 all the points and like he did. One thing that's 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.519 beyond me, I might be getting old, is the influx 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.160 of here and you know a lot of people do 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.840 it that we know, but the influx of like here 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.000 are the five reasons of the da da da, and 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.239 then these. 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.040 Thread tweets or something. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.760 Oh, the thread tweets is that's the algorithm of how 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.360 you get people to follow you now apparently, which is 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.600 funny because because what really they are called is articles. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.679 See you as you used to write an article. Now 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.400 people write thread tweets instead because they can't, and they 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.400 probably get more looks and views than some of the 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.480 articles in some places. That's the tree. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.200 Maybe maybe some hate looks too. 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.240 I saw this guy, I don't remember who their name 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.800 is in fantish football and it was bad. It was like, 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.720 really really bad where they took verbatim things in a 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.600 just full unwritten article, made a thread about it, and. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.160 It didn't go well. It didn't go well on the 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:20.760 Is this. 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.400 The person that we're alluding to who had the other? 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:23.839 I don't know who that is. We'll have to talk 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.480 after I, like I said, I feel. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:26.560 Like it is because it was kind of a little 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.360 Twitter controversy yesterday, more in the fantasy football world. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.720 But to the point though, there are. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.320 A whole lot of whether it's articles and other thoughts 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.400 or news pieces that are then regurgitated and shared as original, 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.560 it gets it gets a little up there. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.040 Here we go. Jesse's favorite thread tweet was yours about 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:47.560 a Saw remaate? 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.480 Oh yeah, many years ago. I lost the most follows. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.880 Familiar I lost the most followers. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.200 I had about a sixty five thread tweet where I 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.960 re there was it when the rumor of the new 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.480 Saw movies were coming out with Chris Rock and I 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.720 essentially wrote the script to four new Saws and I. 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.280 Did about sixty five tweets. I think I lost. I 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:11.680 lost a lot of people that night. 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.760 My favorite is doctor Glenn just got very zen on us, 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.080 he said, and then the articles now are mostly just 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.800 embedded tweets, which is true. So articles have become embedded tweets, 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.279 and tweet threads have become articles. Oh lord, let's just 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.840 talk baseball. Let's start with Mookie Betts hitting the go 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.120 ahead three run home run against the Giant. Sean Murphy 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.440 the go dio or shlad go catcher for the AA 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.799 clean days. Hey, SWAT's a three run danger against the Tigers. 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.840 Frankie Montas in the game, fan five. So return for 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.120 Frankie Montas very important. Thank goodness. It was the Tigers 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.520 on the schedule too. The A's had to be like, oh, please, 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.080 please please, let it just be the Tigers. Can we 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.720 just okay, Yes, that's the first start back the Tigers, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.040 perfect five innings. Great, okay, now put him in bubble rap, right, well, 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.839 she gotta put Frankie Montoss and bubble wrap in some 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.240 sort of you know, I go safe space room just 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.960 with I don't know, happy music playing and hope that 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:01.400 he says hell. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.880 Yeah, like Luis Castillo, Frankie Montas, they should just be 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.760 rolled around the field. 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.280 You know, just nothing can happen. You know those big 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.359 like air water casts that. 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.040 Happened when you break your arm or something like that. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.080 They should just put them in it now, huge full. 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:15.040 Body, like a cocoon. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:16.599 He should just be in a full body. 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.440 Oh yeah, and then he'll come out of butterfly, come out, 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:19.480 or he'll. 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.400 Come out looking like Wilfrid Brimley. And if you get 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.200 that reference to cocoon, then we could be friends, all right. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.920 Jordan Alvarez or Jordan Alvarez whenever you want to call him. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.880 Today he had a homer also the home run of 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.880 Alex Bregman. Boom. Yeah, back on the board. Let's go 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.880 Aaron Judge also in another home run. He's up to 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.560 thirty four, so he has not stopped. Jacob de Grom 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.960 threw five innings, sixty pitches a game. Yes, we take 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:49.359 a deep breath for now. Starts for Jacob de Grom 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:50.800 the rest of the season. What are we going? 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:55.120 Let's see projections had him I think in sixty eight innings, 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.039 which what would. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:56.960 That be relevant? Starts? 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.920 Probably that's probably eleven starts, ten eleven starts. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.880 Really, that's it for sixty eight for the Grom. Well, 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.080 I mean that's you think it's a five inning picture, now. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.800 Well, no, I mean six, you know, six times ten 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.800 would be uh sixty and then sixty eight. You know 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.080 there's another that's like eleven or twelve starts in there. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.000 So let me look, I was giving I want a 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.839 benefit of the doubt that he was Jacob de Grom 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.200 going seven and at you know, half innings or eight innings. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:26.560 Sometimes he's projected at ten bat x has sixty three innings, 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.400 which I think it might have dropped just a tiny 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.040 bit and steamer down to fifty seven. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:32.360 So no need to even guess. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.039 I was gonna say eleven was probably gonna be my 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.200 guest anyways, but ten eleven starts as a projection, I'm 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.280 with it. He felt good. We're getting him soon. I'm 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.640 staying optimistic. He ain't changing my mind regardless of all 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.440 the arguments. Get him out there, put him throwing one hundred, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.440 striking out nine and all you guys are gonna shut up. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.960 This is this is me watching Jacob de gram starts 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.920 for the rest of the year. Yeah, if you're watching 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.719 on the YouTube, I'm looking through my fingers like it 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.160 kind of look in the say every time you throw 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.960 like a scar movie, you're just like like saw. I 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.039 mean that, actually, this is the new saw movie. It's 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.080 it's making me sit in the downstairs level of my 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.120 house and watch Jacob de Gram starts. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:13.240 That's the video pops up. He's like and then Jacob 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:15.360 comes on and everyone's. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.040 Like, oh God, God, please, I'll give you plus one 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.080 point fifty on the first five innings of Jacob de Gram. 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.480 If Jacob makes it through, you get out. If Jacob 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:30.000 de Gram gets hurt, you're done. Oh no, I. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.200 Love the peanuts and the crackers ass because now Wilfrid 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.360 Burnley has become He's all over this chat. By the way, 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.160 he was forty nine years old when Cocun was made. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.040 He looked like he was one hundred and forty. Uh, 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.680 that's absurd that that is true. And I'm sure it 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.680 is because Walkie Pengwin never gets numbers wrong. So that's 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.800 just hilarious. All right, let's continue on here. Uh. It 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.080 says the Mets and Astros are interested in Josh Bell, 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:56.240 and also sources tell Joey Rodo and whoever else is 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.600 out there that apparently the asking probably for soda is 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.080 too much in terms of prospects for the Mets and Yankees, 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.320 to which I roll my eyes and go, Okay, sure 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.040 here the game is officially on. So what you know 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.840 now is that the Mets and Yankees have talked with 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.360 the Nats, which that tells us exactly where things are, 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:15.960 which is where we thought it was yesterday, which is 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:17.680 those are the teams at the end of the day 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.880 that have the most to gain, the most to give, 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.680 And that's what it's about. I want to spend all 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.320 day on soda because we kept I will say. 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.680 I'll admit though the proposed trade offers are pretty wild. 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.320 It is just the entire system of all teams with 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.440 a major leaguer And the only reason I don't vibe 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.080 with that is the Corbin money, Like it just doesn't 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.319 make it. That's where I think the disconnect is here, 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.200 and I think it's it's a disadvantage unless the team 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:45.160 is completely out. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:46.800 I don't think it's necessary. 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.800 Well, okay, you know, maybe think about it, like if 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.319 the Mets go out and say, hey, listen, this is 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.760 way too much blah blah blah, and then when they 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.559 pull a trade together knowing you know what they can 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.880 do that it's not you know, to look like literally 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.640 seven prospects blah blah blah. 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:00.880 Then it looks like they got. 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.679 Even more of a win, I suppose, but I just 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.520 don't see how the like the rumor, like the Yankee rumor, 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.199 one is like Volpi and Domingas and literally every other prospect. 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.880 If you're also taking on Corbyn's money and there's no gear. 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.920 Well, you know, the Nats are gonna try to have 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.480 their cake and eat it too, and they're gonna find 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.680 out in this market they can't. They're gonna have to 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.480 either eat the Corbin money or get better prospect Like, 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.280 you're not gonna get both. So it's either send off 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.559 Corbin along with Sodall and just you're taking one prospect 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.960 and some other prospects, but you're. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.079 Getting still do it fine, You're just not gonna get 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.400 seven process. You're not gonna get the seven prospects in 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:37.600 a really good system. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.840 Yeah, and he's gonna get traded, I'm telling you, I. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.760 Mean percentage changed at all. 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.600 I still see by the deadline, I think it's still 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.400 gonna before I don't think they're gonna wait that long. 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.520 I think this is a bad situation and the longer 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.480 they weigh's gonna get worse. And they're not gonna go 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:53.520 to the off season. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.439 With this so next week, you think he's getting traded, 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:55.880 is what you're. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.160 Saying, Yeah, uh huh, yes I do, or you you 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.679 were at I think last week talked right. I moved I. 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:02.920 Moved them into the sixties. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.400 When I'm starting to see the numbers, I think this 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.760 is I'm kind of back to pure fifty to fifty. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.840 I think the off season makes the most sense with 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.200 a lot of time to do it because of the 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.160 ask and the extra money that's going to be added on. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.439 But all it takes is one really hyper aggressive team 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:19.400 to jump in. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.240 And I don't know, I would love. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.080 For you know, like a hardcore you know, trade analyst 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.440 in more insight of MLB to let us know like 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.000 like how much of a return loss would there be 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.520 in the off season, Like is there a perceived loss 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.559 with a half a year and not buying out the 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.160 deadline in the off season. 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.800 So they should trade now? Or is it still about 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:40.360 one to one? 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.199 I think there is for I think there is, And 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.719 I think the one team where it's less so is 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.280 the Yankees because they've still got that Aaron Judge convert 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.679 like that that's the well Aaron Judge wants too much. 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.959 So we decided to go after one soda instead. That 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.240 pivot I think holds water for the Yankee organization. Whereas 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.880 for the Mets, it doesn't. You know, they're in it now. 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.360 They haven't won enough. You know. The Dodgers, I keep 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.120 telling everybody, like, the Dodgers have a lot of money 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:07.480 invest in a lot of guys, Like I just don't 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:08.679 think the Dodgers at the end of the day are 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.000 going to be this team. But we'll see, we'll see 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.679 what happens there. And they've got some bad contracts to 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.120 the Dodgers, let's not forget that. Speaking of the Dodgers, 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.120 they're cautiously optimistic that Walker Bueller is going to return. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.000 That makes one of us because I am not cautiously 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.520 optimistic about this at all. Your thoughts on the Walker 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:29.400 Bueller news from Dodger camp, because they say, quote everything 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.160 I hear from the training staff and Walker specifically, everything's 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.439 treading in the right direction, says Roberts. I mean, everything 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:39.440 just sounds fine. Everything's just fine. Friends, is just eating fajitas. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.960 It's fine. I'm not there. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.880 I mean, I think you could be optimistic about it, 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.199 and my banking on it not necessarily. I always thought 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.520 like mid to late August was the possibility, and then 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.080 maybe you get them for your fantasy playoffs. So I 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.600 think they want him back, to think they need him 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.440 back as soon as possible. I think it hit you 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.440 could theorize that his return could play a major role 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.360 in what they do during the trade deadline. 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:06.839 Uh. 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.640 The other thing though, and you have it on here, 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:14.000 Andrew Heaney just started up a more intensive rehab assignment. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.280 He pitched five innings last night out here in Arizona 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.240 in the Complex League, where he went five and he 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.440 struck out eight, but he did give up a couple 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:23.120 of homers out. 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.200 I'd like to rename rehab assignments into Hemi's. 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:34.719 I'd like to well, yeah, I Meansburg's and then rehabits Simon, you. 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.880 Say Strasburg for something else that's like a catastrophic just explosive. 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:43.520 It's like, yeah, like you had Chipotle in a milkshake, 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.480 then they have a Strasburg after that. That's that's what 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:45.800 you did. 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:46.480 Oh it's a. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:52.240 Berg but yeah, he he You know what I think. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.080 And this is again maybe maybe this is me being 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.240 grumpy and stuff, but I think this is classic. Yeah, 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.280 it looks like Walker Buhler says everything's gonna be fine, 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.960 to give them a little bit more leverage and some 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.360 kind of trade discussion for somebody for a picture. I 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.079 would be like, well, we still got Walker Bueler, who 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.880 we think is gonna be okay, so you know, we 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:09.960 don't really need another starter, but they do. 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.160 If I were if I were a fantasy owner that 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.560 was holding on to Walker Bueler with any hopes, I 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.720 would take this like positive news and I would be 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.480 looking to trade him. I'm just I don't have a 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.640 lot of interest in him this year. He wasn't really 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.080 pitching at an incredibly incredibly high level before he got 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.640 injured either, So I would be moving off of and 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.400 redrop if there's even the possibleity. 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.040 And that's the point, right, wells like he wasn't very 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.600 good before the injury, So was he not good because 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.720 of the injury? And if so, what makes us think 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.280 that he's gonna come back healthy and better and those 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.280 everything comes back in this perfect confluence of events, which 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:46.160 I don't think is gonna happen. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.240 There just lotstanding track records. You could go with an 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.040 over four era lowess K percentage of his career. Something 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:53.600 thing used to be a little bit worried about. 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.160 Yeah, sure, I agree with you. This is the time 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.880 to trade him. This is your one shot, so did 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.960 not miss your chance to this opportunity comes once in 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.319 a lifetime. Yo, let's talk about this John Gray six 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.839 and one over his last seven starts here a one 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.439 eight one era a ten point five k per nine. 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.760 So how about them apples? How about how about John 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.400 Gray these last few starts looking sharp again yesterday. I'm 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.360 excited about this. Well, he was one of my favorite 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.800 free pitchers coming into the draft this year. He was 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.360 just there and I know a lot of people probably 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.560 dropped him early and I always probably circulated somewhere else. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.960 But if you held on to John Gray, this has 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.400 been the reward. I mean, he has been He hasn't 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.920 been good, he's been excellent. I mean, this was a 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:38.480 really start talking about this. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.520 A few more strikeouts yesterday for that prop it was 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.240 at six and a half, a pretty high number. 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.760 It was really really good yesterday, right, Yeah. 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:46.360 He only hit five. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.240 Yeah, and he got pulled her on ninety four innings. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.840 He didn't get into I believe it was the seventh. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.760 They didn't let him go into a lot of ground balls, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.760 was pitching to contact, which is good. But yeah, I know, 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.120 he's been phenomenal this year. He was one of those 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.400 major late targets for for me and for Bogman. Almost 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.080 a ten k per nine on the year so far, 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.400 which is a phenomenal run. Dropped his homers a little bit, 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.080 and he's got a better x FIP than his era. 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.040 His ERA is just about a three and a half. 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.520 He's got a three to two x FIP. So it's 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.160 been a really really phenomenal run and he's becoming a 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.960 more dominant strikeout pitcher. And that's kind of a that's 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.400 a big key to the success with the rest of 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.320 the you know, not giving up a whole bunch of 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:26.800 runs and picking up some wins. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:28.840 It's a good run for John Gray. He's a huge 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:29.920 value right now. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.080 That rotation in two years could be very good John Gray, 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.200 Rocker and Lighter. That could be a really good rotation 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.160 in two years. And and you know what, maybe maybe 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.120 you have i mean Josh Young, you know who's missing 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.360 this season. You know, maybe he comes and becomes a 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.480 superstar player. I mean, they've they've got you know, they've 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.400 they've shown you that they're willing to spend money, and 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.720 they've got a core there of at least a major 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.120 league talent for a change, and I like what Texas 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.480 is doing. I think they're turning a corner as an organization. 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.960 I'd like them to be aggressive in a trademarket and 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.320 go to the Dodgers and do The one thing I 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.240 really really want in this world is to trade for 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.440 Walker Bueller, so we can call them Walker Buehler Texas Range. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.880 That's all that would that would that would be heaven. 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.680 I could have one thing, yeah, all right, if. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.240 I could have one thing like that great Steve Martin 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.560 sketch from SNL, you know that one. If I had 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.600 one wish, it would be for all the children in 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.480 the world to hold hands at one time and sing 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.320 blah blah blah. If I had a second wish that 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.600 I just continues all these like it would be for 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.440 fifty million dollars paid to me monthly for the rest 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:35.120 of my life. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:35.920 God, I love Steve. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.400 If I had a third wish, well, the first wish 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.720 would be the kids, The second wish would be his money. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.240 The third wish they just keep going on it up. 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:48.440 Sources tell somebody that multiple clubs believe the Red Sox 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.600 are indecisive and they could possibly be a team they 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:55.680 knows sellers at the deadline, and honestly, with the Cursail 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.840 injury now there's a part of me that wonders if 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.720 this is the right move the Red Sox. Your thoughts 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:05.360 on the Red Sox after the Crosselle injury being sellers 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:06.960 now at the deadline and what that might mean to 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.520 somebody like Exander Bogart's who maybe he's on the move. 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.040 I think the word sellers with them, this is just 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.040 my opinion, is a lot smaller than what the sellers 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.119 for the Nationals look like. 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:17.160 I don't think this. 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.200 Is a team that because when you hear it sellers 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.160 are they like, oh they're gonna trade Bogart, They're gonna 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.359 trade Devers. I don't think so. I think they would 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.360 just trade serviceable pieces. Maybe they move off a couple 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.000 pieces that would have helped them win. Now. I just 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:33.360 don't see them making massive dramatic moves in any direction. 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.439 It'd be great to see, you know, they've got some 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.199 I think they've got a couple of guys they kind 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:38.520 of need to figure out long term. What are you 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.359 gonna do with Jeter Downs Jaron Duran, you know, maybe 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.399 you could be. I think the better word in my 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.160
