1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the cycle. I am Ryan Warmley joined.

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: I would say, as always, it's been a few weeks,

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: but I'm joined today, certainly by Mike Mayor. We did

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: not do a show last week. I was off on vacation.

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: I was actually traveling from Delaware to New Hampshire on

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: the day that we were going to record last week,

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: so I was out. You had some stuff going on yourself,

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: so you ended up not able to record the last second,

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: so we did not have a show. Sorry to those

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: who were waiting and wondering and who we did not

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: warn that we would be taking a week off, but

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: that is what ended up happening last week, so apologies

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: for that. I of course was gone the week prior

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: as I was starting that vacation as well, So it's

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: been a few weeks because the week prior to that

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: you were not here. So coming up on basically a

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: month since it's been the two of us.

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely not entirely but mostly my fault that

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: we didn't have a show last week. We had, you know,

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: like you were out, Kelly had some some stuff to

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: deal with, and then we were actually going to have

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: Welsh fill in and so then we ended up pushing

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: the show back to Friday. But then I had some issues.

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: You know, I was out two weeks ago for a

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: medical procedure and I had some complications from that said

26
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: procedure and was not physically able to do the show

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: last week. So was not planned. Apologies for missing it,

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: but you know, not something we were intending to do.

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: It just kind of just kind of all fell apart.

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are back now. I told you that I

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: watched very little baseball on this vacation. The one baseball

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: I did watch was I was gifted front row seats

33
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: atop the Green Monster for Red Sox game, which was bonkers.

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: I had never been on the Monster before. I had

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: been to Fenway once, but I was sitting in like

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the foul section, like in deep right field, like way

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: under the row above us, like really really terrible seats.

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: This was a very different experience at Fenway. This was

39
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: again front row the Monster. My friend who I was

40
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: visiting up in New Hampshire, his company does some you know,

41
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: work with Fenway, and he reached out, like as a sponsor,

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: and he reached out and was like, hey, I got

43
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: a buddy in town. He's not even a big baseball fan.

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: He was like, I got a buddy in town. He

45
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: loves baseball. Do we have any tickets if we want

46
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: to try to go to the game. It was a

47
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: Friday night, beautiful night again Yankees, Red Sox, so you

48
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: would think like really like, you know, highly sought after tickets,

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, we've got four for you didn't

50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: even tell them where they were. Turns out there were

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: a front row of the monster, so wild experience, very

52
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: very cool. I'm very grateful for that experience. And we

53
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: saw Aera judge hit a ball probably five hundred and

54
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: seventy feet. I mean, I know technically it was like

55
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: four sixty or something, but he obliterated the ball off

56
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: of Garrett Crochet. So that's fun to watch. But yeah,

57
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: very cool experience. I know as a Red Sox guy,

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: you were probably jealous.

59
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah I was jealous. I've been. I've been where you

60
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: took the picture from, but not for a game. I

61
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: went on like a tour and got to go up

62
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: there and like see the view from up there as

63
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: very cool. I also found out it wasn't my first

64
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: game at Fenway, but one of the when I was

65
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: like an adult, I like bought tickets. I found out

66
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: the hardware that they still sell obstructive view seats and

67
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: they're real and you actually can't see the field from

68
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: like as you're like behind a pillar. So like if

69
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: you buy that seat, you might as well just not

70
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: sit in it and like walk around because you literally

71
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: can't see the field from it.

72
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: It was very close to those seats that I sat

73
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: in the first time. I was at Fenway, where I

74
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: was going for as cheap as I can, and you know,

75
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to go to every stadium. I'm at fifteen

76
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: of them now. And my buddy and I were, you know,

77
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: crossing Fenway off the list a few years ago, and

78
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: so we went as cheap as we could, and it

79
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: was it was borderline obstructive view. So that wasn't great.

80
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: All right, enough about that, we will go ahead and

81
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: dive into riding the bases here.

82
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: Now.

83
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny because I said to you, hey,

84
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: do you want to do our usual bit where I,

85
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, come back from vacation. I tend to go

86
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: pretty off the grid when I when I'm off, I

87
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: try not to be you know, keeping up with work

88
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: or anything. And so I enjoy when you kind of

89
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: catch me up on everything I missed, and you know,

90
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: coming in kind of with maybe a little less you know,

91
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: knowledge and research than usual. And you said maybe, and

92
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: then all of your topics in in the show sheet

93
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: are Worm is going to try and guess this picture

94
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: based on his stats or real or not real for

95
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: these recent breakouts. And I'm like, I just told you

96
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: I haven't watched baseball in two weeks, and you're forcing

97
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: me to really shoot from the hip here. So we'll

98
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: see how this segment goes. I hope everybody appreciates it. Nonetheless,

99
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: let's dive into the first one, which is you've labeled

100
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: is this mystery picture? Legit mayor will provide stats for

101
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: Worm to try to guess this picture.

102
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was gonna put the stats in the sheet,

103
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: but I didn't want you cheating. I'm looking up beforehand,

104
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: so I put the stats elsewhere.

105
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: What do you take me for? Okay, I don't take

106
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: this seriously enough to cheat to try to win.

107
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: Well, you've already been lobbying, you know, internally we have

108
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: an ice cream bracket going. You've already been like lobbying

109
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: for your picks to try and win. You tried to

110
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: get what is it, Moose Tracks all the way to

111
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: the finals.

112
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: I tried to get more. Okay, you frame it like

113
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get it to the finals. I'm trying

114
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: to get it past drumsticks, which are not even an

115
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: ice cream. They're like a novelty treat that aren't even

116
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: that good. So yes, it's not like I've been trying

117
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: to like bribe the voters to get Moose Tracks all

118
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: the way to the championship just because I like it.

119
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: I just think it should have beaten drumsticks.

120
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 2: For those interested, the championship matchup is chocolate chip cookie

121
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: dough versus drumsticks.

122
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: I wasn't even gonna bring this up because I think

123
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: it's such a travesty that drumsticks are in there.

124
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: It's a travesty that we eliminated one of the Vanilla's.

125
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: We had Vanilla, Vanilla, Bean and French Vanilla, and we decided.

126
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: That that was a travesty that in a thirty two

127
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: censorship three of them were Vanilla's and we had no

128
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: cookies and cream to start, which thankfully we snuck in

129
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: there later and they made it to the to the

130
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: final four. So deserving, deserving fit. I mean, chocolate chip

131
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: cookie dough isn't my top choice, but it's good. Like

132
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: if it wins, which I hope it will at this

133
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: point facing drumstick, that'll be a very deserving flavor. I

134
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: think everybody let us know in the comments what ice

135
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: cream flavor you woul vote for, whether it's a classic one.

136
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: It could even be something simple like just plain chocolate,

137
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: or maybe a more unique one like an interesting Ben

138
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: and Jerry's flavor, or you know, something unique to your

139
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: hometown ice cream shop. Let us know your favorite iceam

140
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: flavor in the comments.

141
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: Or your favorite ice cream to watch a baseball game with,

142
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: probably just playing vanilla out.

143
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: I do love summer Day. You can't see it right now,

144
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: and I promise we'll get to the show in a second.

145
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: You can't see it right now. I know people could

146
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: just skip ahead on YouTube. It's fine if they don't

147
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: care about this, but we have I have this background

148
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: behind me, but normally you can see I have ice

149
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: cream helmet Sundays from every ballpark. I'm missing three of them,

150
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: but there were a lot of them. Were collected by

151
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: my mom when she was growing up, and then kind

152
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: of passed them down to me, and I've tried to

153
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: add to the collection to round it out and get

154
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: all thirty I think I'm missing. It's like the Rays,

155
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: the White Sox and whatever other. I can't remember the

156
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: third one I'm missing. But we're we're we're whiddling away

157
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: at it. That's half the reason I moved to Denver

158
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: with so I could get the Rockies off the list.

159
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's all of a reason. All right, I'm gonna

160
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring you this this picture. Do you want

161
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: to like guess after like every stat or how do

162
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: you want to do it?

163
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: I think it's very unlikely I get this right at

164
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: any point, so I would say, give me, give me

165
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: every two stats, I'll guess.

166
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: All right, And I have the clues kind of set

167
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: up in a way that, like, I'll make it more

168
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: and more obvious as we get closer, Like, Okay, this

169
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:32,559
Speaker 2: person's name is so is this is this mystery picture? Legit?

170
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: He has a one point eight four e r A

171
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: and earlier in June he threw a complete game shutout.

172
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: I think I might actually know who it is on

173
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: the first round of clues. Is it Andrew Abbott?

174
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: No?

175
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a comple game shutout he did throw

176
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: on It was in June, right, I thought that was

177
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: a good guess that.

178
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: If you have another clip, well I lied because it

179
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: is Andrew Emit. That's I just lost all a little.

180
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Bit, all right. I can't think of it many other

181
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: complete game shoutouts, at least at the top of my head.

182
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: That happened in June.

183
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: So well, you're you sold yourself short. And I was

184
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: gonna I was going to go through many other stats

185
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: and you got to, you know, pretty early. I was

186
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: going to go through his CA percentage, really low whip.

187
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: Then I was going to start getting more more obvious.

188
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: He's a lefty, he has a six and one record,

189
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: he just turned twenty six. He pitches in the NL

190
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: Central and then get all the way to he's a lefty,

191
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: pitches for the Reds, and make.

192
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: More obvious his name is alliterative. The shutout, I think

193
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: is a much more obvious clue than those other ones.

194
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: I think that was a mistake, but like I wouldn't

195
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: have gotten it based on his CA percentage or having

196
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: six wins or anything that the shutout I think was

197
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: it was an obvious clue, but go great job by

198
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: you now. Really, I know, I clearly I've been watching

199
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: a lot of baseball. Yeah, you know, ab It's interesting

200
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: because he was somebody that I was interested in it

201
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: times last year, and then maybe it wasn't as good

202
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: after I invested in him. But yeah, he's been on

203
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: like a really good stretch. I mean, he's been really

204
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: been good this whole year. And to answer your question

205
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: if he's legit or not, I think he's I would

206
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: phrase it. And this is the way I sometimes think

207
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: of questions like this, is he's legit enough, right, Like

208
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's gonna you know the ideo

209
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: for hun complete game shoutouts right and left, right, But

210
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: I think he's legit enough to want to like have him,

211
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: And I would be interested in trading for him if

212
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: he was available and the price was right to be

213
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: starting him like he's legit enough to trust for now.

214
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: That's an interesting way to phrase it. I wonder, let

215
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: me pull up the trade value chart, although I didn't

216
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: do it yet for this week, but I wonder who

217
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: you'd be willing to trade for him?

218
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,239
Speaker 1: And by the way, by the way, I do recognize

219
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: but he had a downstart coming off of that shutout,

220
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: so it's and and also the start before the shoutout,

221
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: he wasn't very good, so it's not like he's just

222
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: been right and left like amazing. But again good good

223
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 1: enough for me.

224
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, although his most recent start it was five runs,

225
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: but only one of them was earned, so it was

226
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: kind of a weird a weird start. But before the

227
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: shoutout there were five ron runs.

228
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: I always I always kind of roll my eyes a

229
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: little bit, like if it's like one extra run compared

230
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: to the earned runs, then yeah, like you know it's

231
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: fair and not hold it against him, Like he's still

232
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: allowed a three run home run, Like I recognized that

233
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have needed to get to that batter if

234
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: not for the error, and that's why it doesn't count

235
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: as an earned run. So yes, that's like a legitimate thing.

236
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the stat should be different, but like

237
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: I think in evaluating him as a pitcher moving forward,

238
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: like he still threw a pitch that resulted in three

239
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: runs being scored even if he in an ideal like

240
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: defending you know, fielding scenario wouldn't have had to throw

241
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: that pitch.

242
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: I think error, Like how unearned runs are calculated is

243
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: another thing we could have talked about when we did

244
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: are like what do we want to ban in baseball

245
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: kind of segment because I do think errors could be

246
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: more subjective, subjective for like earned runs and stuff, because.

247
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: Somebody I would be fine if I would be fine

248
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: if if the earned runs were the guy who got

249
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: on is an unearned run, but the other runs that

250
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: scored still are earned because you would have had to

251
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: face those batters. Eventually, I get that there's a lot

252
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: of like logical fallacies with that argument. This is just

253
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: me off the cuff, like thinking about a good fix.

254
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: So I recognize that that's not a fully fleshed out thought.

255
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: But again, like he allowed that home run, Like to me,

256
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: that's still worth considering and in evaluating his performance.

257
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 2: Well, there's also like if it's if it would have

258
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: been the third out of an inning and then you

259
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: give up eight more runs, those eight runs are all unearned,

260
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 2: and that's kind of you know, again, you wouldn't have

261
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: had to face those guys, but like you probably would

262
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: have been next inning anyway.

263
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, or I mean maybe if it was the

264
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: last inning of your outing, like you would have been

265
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: pulled the next sitting Like again, you can get into

266
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: a lot of like kind of back and forth about it, but.

267
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: I guess that's all we got. Anything else on Andrew Rabbit.

268
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: Well, what was your thought? Yeah, I legit to you.

269
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: I think he's he's like, similar to what you said,

270
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: like legit enough. I would say, he's like in between

271
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: like legit and not legit. He's like good enough.

272
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: You know he would you be interested in training for him?

273
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: Depends. I pulled up the trade value chart to see

274
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: what I would want to give up and kind of

275
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: like in that range of what he would be worth.

276
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: Reyese Hoskins is kind of in that range if I

277
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: needed a hit her. I don't know that I would like.

278
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: I feel like he's more like the kind of player

279
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: like if I have him, I'm going to keep him

280
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: or so high. I don't know that I'm like really

281
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: interested in like going out and acquiring him just because

282
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: he one A four era. His whip is really good.

283
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: His expected numbers are all over the place. Two point

284
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: nine two x CRA, three point nine two FIP and

285
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: then the Sierra or x FIP and then the Sierra

286
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: and FIP or in between there. His that gas page

287
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: is pretty solid. You know, you always say like red

288
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: as good, blue as bad. He doesn't throw like a

289
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: big fastball, doesn't have a good ground ball rate, which

290
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: could come back to haunt him where he pitches, but

291
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: he has like a really good he's like really good

292
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: at avoiding hard contact, even though like his it's kind

293
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: of weird. His hard hit percentage is eighty eight percent

294
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 2: of but his barrel percentage is like forty percent of.

295
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: But he's always like getting barreled but not very hard

296
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: kind of a thing, or at least like getting you know,

297
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: like hard hits barrel rates. It's you know, kind of

298
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: subjective for the stats, but like, other than that, like

299
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: everything looks really solid. And he throws his fastball almost

300
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: fifty percent of the time despite not having like a

301
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 2: big fastball, which is also a little weird. Like he

302
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: throws a ninety two mile an hour fastball fifty percent

303
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: of the time. That doesn't sound like a pitcher you

304
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: would normally think is like has these great numbers, but

305
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: he just you know, he locates it. Like batters are

306
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: only hitting two hundred against it with an expected batting

307
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: average of one ninety. So he's doing something with his fastball.

308
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: That's you know, working for him, and so like I

309
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: feel like he's legit, but also like he worries me.

310
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: It seems like he has to kind of profile that

311
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 2: like if one thing changes like this could all unravel

312
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: very quickly.

313
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. I think I would be very

314
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: open to moving off him if it gets to that point,

315
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: Like like, I'm not going to be digging my heels

316
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: in and say, oh, he had three bad starts in

317
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: a row. I'm still blind faith like you know, starting

318
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: him regardless, But right now I'd be happy to, you know,

319
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: I Like I said, I think he's legit enough at

320
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: least for the time being. So that's that's kind of

321
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: how I think about Andrew Abbott. We are now giving

322
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,360

Speaker 2: Coolest jersey I own?

333
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: We'll say baseball jersey.

334
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: I say baseball. I have some really weird football jerseys.

335
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: I talked about that on other shows. I don't have

336
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: a ton of baseball jerseys. I do have. I mean

337
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: I have a bunch of signed things, but the cool

338
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: the coolest one that I have that I would wear.

339
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: I have a a roy Holiday Phillies jersey. That's pretty cool.

340
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: I like that one.

341
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. I'm collecting one one jersey from each team.

342
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: I've got like twenty five of them. I'm almost done,

343
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: actually all right, My Tigers one is Hank Greenberg. So

344
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm not that interested in the cecil fielder. I try

345
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: to get like a hall of Famer for each team.

346
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: But some teams don't have a Hall of Famer. And

347
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: so when I started this project, like over which teams

348
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: don't have a hall of Fame, Well, like the Rays

349
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: don't have one. I mean they have they have, yeah, yeah,

350
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: or at least like if they have a Hall of Famer,

351
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: it's like they're you know, you know, I try to

352
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: get players that are like this is like a life

353
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: for like the like Evan Longoria for the race if

354
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: he was you know, good enough to be in a

355
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer instead of all of very good type

356
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: of but I mean, I'm you know, a guy that

357
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: it's like you really associate with that franchise. So like

358
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: the first one I got was like Jackie Robinson or

359
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, like try to get like real legends, but

360
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: some of them like didn't really have an obvious name

361
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: when I started this project, so I had to kind

362
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: of like project out. So I got like Josh Johnson

363
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: Marlin's jersey because I was at the time, I was like,

364
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: he's really good, and I'm trying to you know, make

365
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: a guess here, or you know, I think I did.

366
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: I did get a Longoria. I got like like a

367
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: Tilowitzki Rockies, which isn't terrible, but like, I think I

368
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: can do better. Some of them obviously were easy, like

369
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, I got like Ted Williams for my Red

370
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: Sox one or Lou Garrig or you know, stuff like that.

371
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: But I do love collecting jerseys, so so that's a fielder.

372
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: Go ahead and comment on the video and make sure

373
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: you're subscribing to YouTube to get that one. Let's go

374
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: to our second topic here, real or not real. You

375
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: added some names here, which again I am not happy

376
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: about because I told you I watched very little baseball

377
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. But we'll see how this goes.

378
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: Start us off, well, I'll give you the names and

379
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: some contexts and some stats and stuff. Also, I was

380
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 2: gonna say when I was hosting two weeks ago, I'm

381
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: actually the keeper of these jerseys, and so I have

382
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: it right here in my house. I don't have it

383
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: right next to me like I did last time, but

384
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: I last time I held it up showed it to

385
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: people on YouTube. But it is a real jersey. It's

386
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 2: in my house, and I'll be the one mailing it

387
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: to you. So Andy Pajez Andrew Paper. He I just

388
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 2: made that up.

389
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: Great, right, I think it's pretty good.

390
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, he like he's someone I picked up earlier

391
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: in the year just to like stream an outfielder, and

392
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: it's just kind of never dropped him. I forgot to.

393
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: I did that with last year too. I think it

394
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 2: was Mark Vientos last year who's like not doing as

395
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: well this year. But I was just kind of expecting

396
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: like a decent batting average and maybe a little bit

397
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: of pop, and like I wasn't sure how much he

398
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: was going to play in that Dodgers outfielder, and he

399
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: continues to look really good despite I can't I mean,

400
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: the Dodgers lineup is so deep that I keep hoping

401
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: he's going to like bump up to like fourth, fifth

402
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: in the lineup instead of like six seven, which I

403
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: think he does kind of move up against lefties. But

404
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: for the season, he's batting two ninety four with fifteen

405
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: home runs and six dolen bases, which is kind of

406
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: a pleasant surprise since he hasn't, like he's always been

407
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: known as someone who can run a little bit, but

408
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: not he hasn't like run a ton, so to have

409
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: six already through seventy one games, it's kind of like

410
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: a nice little bonus. And then even better, through sixteen

411
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 2: games in June, he's betting three sixty one with another

412
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 2: five home runs, hasn't stolen a base in June. But

413
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: he's just he's not slowing down. He's actually heating up,

414
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: and it's very interesting. I don't know how often this happens,

415
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: but he has a batting average of two ninety four

416
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: and an expected batting average of two ninety four, the

417
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: exact same number. And so I feel like all year

418
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 2: I've just kind of waited for him to cool off,

419
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: and he just keeps producing and like getting better and

420
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: outproducing a lot of other people in that Dodgers's lineup,

421
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: And I don't think he's coming out of that lineup

422
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 2: anytime soon.

423
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, it's a tricky one for

424
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: real or not real, because like I think he's real,

425
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: almost like Andrew Abbit, like real enough, right, Like I'm

426
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: not trying to get out from the Andy. PA has business,

427
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: but I don't trust the power. Like having fifteen home

428
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: runs already this season, I don't think that's reflective of

429
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: where he'll end up. And his average eggs of Velocity's

430
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: thirty six percentile, hard hit rates twenty seven percentile, barrel

431
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: rate is forty eight percentile. He's chasing a lot. His

432
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: chase rates pretty high, but his strikeout rate isn't. His

433
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 1: striker rate's actually down pretty significantly from last year. It's

434
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: twenty four point four percent last year to seventeen point

435
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: eight percent this year. It's pretty low. His his walk

436
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: rate's also pretty low, so he's just swinging a lot

437
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: in general, but the expected batting average is still pretty high.

438
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: Like it's it's it actually is. His batting average to

439
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: ninety four, which is also expected batting average. So I

440
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: think the home runs will slow, but I think the

441
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: worthiness of playing and like he's gonna he's a good fielder,

442
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: like gonna get at bats in a good lineup, like

443
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: moving forward. I think it is all real.

444
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I lean, so what if we had to do it?

445
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: I think we did this in the past on like

446
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: a scale of like the survey scale of like strongly agree, agree,

447
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: neutral disagree, strongly disagree, So like Andy Pai has real

448
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 2: or not real strongly agree to strongly disagree, where are

449
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: you on the scale?

450
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: I think I'd say agree, like if the agree is

451
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: the real side of it of the scale, and yeah,

452
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: then I would say not strongly agree, but agree.

453
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: That's where I'm at too. I'm not like over the

454
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: moon with him, but I'm like pleasantly surprised of what

455
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: we're getting. And I don't see any real reason that

456
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: it's going to that's gonna change anytime soon. And his

457
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 2: he does swing a lot, his z swing percentage is

458
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: seventy percent is outside the zone or not in the

459
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: zone swing percentage, and then his outside is what the

460
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: zone is thirty five percent, which is his career is

461
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: thirty two percent. Obviously like not a huge track record

462
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: because he had a lot of time in the minors,

463
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: but last year was thirty percent. Now it's up five

464
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: percent this year, so he is just swinging more in general.

465
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: But he does swing a lot at stuff that's in

466
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: the uh in the strike zone, which you know, that's good.

467
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: You've got too many names on this list to spend

468
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: this much time on each one of them. So let's

469
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: go to the next door.

470
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: Uh, well do you want me to I don't. I

471
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: just read him off and we can just kind of

472
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 2: hit where we want to hit.

473
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so real or not real?

474
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: So we started with Andy pay Has and then we

475
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: have Noah Cameron, Addison Barger, David Peterson, Quinn Priester, and

476
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: then Hunter Goodman.

477
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: And I do want to start with this, this second

478
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: name that you have on the list, Noah Cameron, because

479
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: I find him really interesting. What do you say about

480
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: camera real or no real?

481
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: I I've won some money betting on him recently, so

482
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: that inclines me to believe he's real because he has

483
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: won me real money, but he's also one of those

484
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: the strikeout He doesn't have a high strikeout rate, and

485
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: it's just it's a pretty small sample size and all

486
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: the expected numbers say that it's much worse than what

487
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: we're actually seeing, which would tend me to believe that

488
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: it's not real, even though when I like, I've watched

489
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: him pitch and he like he there's no real way

490
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: to like quantify it, but like he like feels like

491
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: he pitches like a pitcher, Like he like he kind

492
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: of like knows what he's doing, and it's not just

493
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: like like there are like pitchers who are throwers and

494
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: they just go up there and they have like elite

495
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: stuff and they just kind of get away with it.

496
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: He to me looks more like a pitcher who's pitching

497
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: and is just kind of like getting away with like,

498
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: you know, like the savviness of pitching, which is which

499
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: can kind of come out in expected stats, where like

500
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: you know, expected stats doesn't really respect that, you know,

501
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: it's just it just respects like the kind of contact

502
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 2: you're getting and how lucky you are and that kind

503
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: of stuff. But in May one point four ERA through

504
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: nineteen innings in May June is coming back down a

505
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: little bit to earth, which is closer to his expected

506
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 2: number three point two four ERA and sixteen and two

507
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: thirds innings, but again really small sample sizes, and even

508
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: even with that three point two four ERA, that comes

509
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: with the two thirteen average against, which is still really good,

510
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 2: and overall through the first half a one point one

511
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 2: point seven to two average against, which is obviously elite,

512
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: but the strikeout rate is below twenty percent. The K

513
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 2: per nine is six point eight, which is like, it's

514
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: not even like blow average is bad, and those are

515
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: the kind of pictures who tend to get unlucky. Even

516
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: though his whip is zero point nine and he only

517
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: has I guess, I guess not that great. His his

518
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 2: K to walk is thirty two to twelve, which is

519
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: a two point six to seven rate, So it's like,

520
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: it's not even like he's not walking guys, because he

521
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 2: is walking guys. Twelve and forty two innings is not

522
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: a ton of walks, but you know, it's it's two

523
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: point five per nine, which is like a you know,

524
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: average to above average walk, right, I guess it's like average,

525
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 2: it just just seems like it's the contact that he's

526
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: giving up, isn't that good, and that's how we's surviving.

527
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: But we've also seen that those are the guys that

528
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: can get unlucky pretty quickly.

529
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: We've also seen though, that those are the guys the

530
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: Royals have had some success with lately. You know, I think,

531
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: like Seth Lugo, Chris Boubac, these are not like high

532
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: velocity fastball types of pictures, and they've had a lot

533
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: of success with those guys relative to their stuff in

534
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. So I'm inclined to give

535
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt just to the organization with

536
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: this type of a picture, I think I probably I'd

537
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: probably come down on that scale we talked about as

538
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: more neutral on this one, because there is stuff in

539
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 1: the data that concerns me, and you know, it's it's

540
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: still so early into his career, right, He's made what

541
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: seven starts, so like there's still a long way to go,

542
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: and that strikeout right being what it is is really

543
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: hard to stomach in a fantasy context. But the organization

544
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: actually gives me some you know, optimism around this maybe

545
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: being more sustainable than otherwise the data might look like

546
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: So that's why I kind of come down on neutral.

547
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: That's fair. Again, we spend too much time with no Cameron,

548
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 2: so we don't want to go too much longer.

549
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't we go Why don't you pick one

550
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: more that you want to give a little spiel for

551
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: and then we'll just go quickly real or not real

552
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: on the other three.

553
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: All right, well, I can go pretty quick too, So Cameron,

554
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: I would agree, I'm like neutral on Cameron Barger, I

555
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 2: would say I'm neutral to not real to like disagree

556
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 2: in the sense that I think you can stream him.

557
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: I think he's fine. I don't think there's a high

558
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 2: ceiling there, and I think he's kind of outperforming even

559
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: though his expected average is actually higher than his his

560
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: current average. Even if he's real, I'm willing to miss

561
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: out on it because I don't think there's high ceiling there.

562
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: And then Hunter Goodman, I would think is my strongest

563
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: real kind of stance that I think he's real and

564
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: also he's really you know, he's really valuable as someone

565
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 2: who has kept your eligibility. It is just in the

566
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: line of every day. And then David Peterson is doing

567
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: some interesting things with strikeouts. I don't. I don't really

568
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: buy the even though he had like a pretty good

569
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: year last year, not a lot of strikeouts. I just

570
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: think he's kind of like a guy. And then Quinn Priester,

571
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 2: former Red Sox great Quinn Priester, who spent you know,

572
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: a couple he had a cup of coffee with the

573
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: Red Sox. I lean not real to him, at least

574
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: not yet. I think he's like, he's a young pitcher

575
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: who's going to get better. I don't. I don't. I

576
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: lean not real, at least not yet, especially since it's

577
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: kind of ironic that the Brewers had no pitching earlier

578
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: in the year and now they have like more pitching

579
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 2: than they know what to do with. And so even

580
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: for like fantasy, even if he's real, he's gonna have

581
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: to be very real to stick in that rotation because

582
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: they just get they're gonna have a ton of arms

583
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: right now.

584
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: I largely agree with you on a lot of these,

585
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: especially good men. I think I'm maybe a little more

586
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: buying into David Peterson than you.

587
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: Like.

588
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: His e er is slightly better than it was last year,

589
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: but his expect d is almost a full run better.

590
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: Now it's not elite. It's three seventy is the expected

591
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: dra So you know, I'm not saying he's an ace,

592
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: but I just think I'm a little more willing to

593
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: buy into him than you are, but not by much.

594
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: Like I don't think he's just a guy, but I

595
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: don't think he's a lot more than just a guy.

596
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: I think he's just barely more than just a guy,

597
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: kind of in my opinion. So let's go to the

598
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: kind of update worm segment on news notes and injuries.

599
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: I threw a couple in here that I had seen,

600
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: so I'll just run through those quickly, then you can

601
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: run down yours. Max Meyer is going to see a

602
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: hip specialist, which I never like. I don't care what

603
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: part of the body it is. If you need to

604
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: go see a specialist after already having missed a couple

605
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: of weeks, that's really concerning. This is a player that

606
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: we loved before the season, who looked awesome early on

607
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: then was really struggling. So seeing this injury kind of

608
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: continue to the point where he needs see a specialist,

609
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: especially for the hip as a pitcher like that really

610
00:27:54,320 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: concerns me. Brady House making his debut a guy who

611
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: at one point in time was considered a potential number

612
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: one overall pick in the draft early on, like when

613
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: he was in high school that didn't end up happening,

614
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: but was still a high pick. He has made his

615
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: debut for the Nation almost off to a hot start.

616
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: He's slashing three sixty four, four sixty two, eight twenty six.

617
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: He's got some walks in there. He doesn't have a

618
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: home run yet, but it's only been like eleven played appearances,

619
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,239
Speaker 1: but just an early fun start, so I would keep

620
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: an eye on him. I like House a lot, and

621
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: he's he had a slow start to his minor league

622
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: career but has bounced back really nicely as of late.

623
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: And then Cole Reagan's officially has a rotator cuff strain,

624
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: which has two people who have had shoulder injuries recently.

625
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: We can appreciate how much that stinks, let alone for

626
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: a pitcher, so really really discouraging. I love Reagan's like

627
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: he's one of my favorite pictures to watch in baseball.

628
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: I have a lot of him in fantasy. So that's

629
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: a bummer. And you know, you hope that if he

630
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: gets shut down for a couple of weeks that it

631
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: starts to look better, but it's it's just hard to

632
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: be optimistic when you get into shoulder strain for a pitcher,

633
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: Like it's just really hard to not be pessimistic. So

634
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: those were kind of the news notes I threw in there,

635
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: But what did you want to add?

636
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I saw there was another update where

637
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: he's like, you know, as part of the rotator cuff strain,

638
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: he's just getting shut down for a couple of weeks,

639
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: which you also never I mean, that's that's always going

640
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: to be like part of the process wund an injury,

641
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: but you never you never liked that we're just gonna

642
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: shut him down and then we'll check it in a

643
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 2: few weeks, because then like we're not even at the

644
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: point where we're like getting better. It's just like it's

645
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: not even They're like, he's not even worth checking out

646
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: right now, Like let's take a few weeks off and

647
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: just see what it looks like in a couple of weeks,

648
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: and then it could just be like end of the season,

649
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: you know, like it's done well. The biggest news that

650
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: happened while you were gone. You may have seen one

651
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: of Rafael Divers his last games as a Red.

652
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: Sox iFly in fact, did I saw his third to

653
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: last game as a Red Sox.

654
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was traded to the Giants because he just

655
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: acted like a cryberry cry baby the whole time. And

656
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: the best part about it is that, you know, despite

657
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: being an atrocious third baseman for for like a decade

658
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: and just never getting better, you know, the Red Sox

659
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: finally went out and upgraded the position defensively. He got

660
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: mad about that and then pouted all all summer or

661
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: all spring, and then when the Red Sox apparently I mean,

662
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: it's so funny, like the more you learned about this,

663
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: like even though this trade was a week ago, like

664
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: there's still like little bits of information like like trickling

665
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: out about this, and like we knew it was like,

666
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: you know, the Red Sox were just like done with him.

667
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: But then it was like, you know, he cried in

668
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: spring training because he was like you know they, you know,

669
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: like he said, the Red Sox like you know, took

670
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: third base from him, and they didn't like communicate it

671
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: well enough. But now it came out that the Red

672
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: Sox actually asked him to like stay active and they

673
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: continue to take grounders at third and first base so

674
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: that he could play both positions when they needed him to,

675
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: and he refused and just said no. And then when

676
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: Tristan Cassas got hurt, they again asked him, like, hey,

677
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: you want to take some grounders at first base, we

678
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: can get back on the field, and he again said no,

679
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: like I refuse, I'm just going to be your DH

680
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: And then like in true like cry baby fashion, he

681
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: got like trade. When he gets traded, he like immediately

682
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: says like, oh yeah, like I'll play first base to

683
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: the Giants if they want to. It was just the

684
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 2: Red Sox. I didn't want to play first base for

685
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: so like I won't continue to rant about it, but biggest,

686
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, like biggest story while you were gone,

687
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: one of the biggest stories of baseball so far the season,

688
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: like you know, blockbuster T.

689
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, was it on purpose that because

690
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: we kind of organized our round in the basis segment

691
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: as first base, second base, third base, home plate? Was

692
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: it was it on purpose that you made this our

693
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 1: third base segment?

694
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: No, but that's very fitting. I think we just always

695
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: kind of have news notes and injuries as third base.

696
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: But very fitting that h.

697
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: Third base, Well, let me, let me ask you this quickly,

698
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 1: because I do think it's we're spending a little more

699
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: time on this one, even though we got to move

700
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: fast through the others. Is dever, Like is his fantasy

701
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: ranking for you drastically changing as a result of going

702
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: to San Francisco or are you kind of keeping him

703
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: in the same spot? And if he becomes first base eligible,

704
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: how would that change his ranking for you?

705
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: So the first base eligible will be I mean, third

706
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: base is the biggest one. Like third base is just

707
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 2: a desert. So like if you have him at third base,

708
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: it's unlikely you're going to mo veim to first base.

709
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: It never hurts to have that versatility. It's certainly not

710
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: going to go down as a result. But third base

711
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: is for this year? Is the is the desert. I

712
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: was actually talking with a few people on the It

713
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: was actually on the Betting Pros discord. So we have

714
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: a Fantasypros discord and a Betting prost discord fantyspros dot

715
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: com slash chat, Betting Pros dot Com slash chat. I

716
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: was actually talking to people on the Betting Pros discord

717
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: about like his value as a hitter going forward, and

718
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: a lot of people assume that Fenway is this like

719
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: incredible park for hitters, which it is a net positive

720
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: park for hitters, but it's not a home run park.

721
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: A lot of people think because of the pesky Pole

722
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: and because of the wall and left field that it's

723
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: a home run park. It's actually a below average home

724
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: run park. I think it's actually the eighth worst park

725
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: for home runs because while there is the pesky pole

726
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: and right straightaway right field is three eighty straightaway center

727
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: or like right center is four twenty, and then even

728
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: though if you hit it straight away left it's pretty

729
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: it's pretty shallow, but they do have the wall, but

730
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: then even when you get into like left center, it's

731
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: like three eighty with that wall, like that's an even

732
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: deeper shot. So it's like sneaky, not a great park

733
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: for home runs. But then again, Oracle Park is even

734
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: worse for home runs, and so it's like he's not

735
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: it's not like he's going to the Phillies or the

736
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: Reds of the Yankees, where he's going to this incredible

737
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: offensive ballpark. He's going from like a good park for

738
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: hitters but not necessarily for home runs, to a bad

739
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: park for home runs. And so I saw something that

740
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: like he would actually have more home runs this year

741
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: if he played all of his games in Oracle Park.

742
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: But I think all in all, he's just going to

743
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: be the same hitter. He might have, like you know,

744
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: maybe a few more doubles or maybe a few more homers,

745
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: but like I think as a hitter, he's I think

746
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: it's largely just going to be the same.

747
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: Quickly run through the other news and notes.

748
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 2: All Right, Michael King is out through their All Star break.

749
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: That's a bummer. He was pitching really well and we're

750
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: hoping to get him back. But now it's like, you know,

751
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: just like we were talking about with Reagans, like Reagan's

752
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: was shut down and who knows, And now it's like

753
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: Michael King's out like through the All Star break and

754
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: then we'll see swore as heat check time. He's back

755
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: and he looks fantastic over the last couple of weeks.

756
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: He's second in VBR. Only needed to reads Google. I

757
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 2: could just wrap off all the stats right now. But

758
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: like you know, we love Ranger Swarez on this show,

759
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: but he just like he's back. He started he started

760
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: the season on the il. He's back and he just

761
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: continued to put up numbers, you know, quietly. One of

762
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: the best pictures of baseball, Max Scherzer throwing.

763
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: By the way, just quickly if Ranger swaz Ever like

764
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: wins a cy Young like, we are the show that

765
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: made that happen. I know nobody loves Ranger Swarez more

766
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: than this podcast.

767
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 2: That's right. And then Max Suers are throwing a bullpen

768
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 2: this weekend. Any interest in Max Scherzer picking them up? No, nope, no,

769
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: And then the last one, Matt Chapman, resumes basal activity.

770
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 2: So I guess I felt there was wanted to play

771
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: third bases because their third baseman is coming back. Someone

772
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: actually I was just like joking, but because Raphod Evers

773
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: is like such a bad defensive third baseman. Someone joked

774
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: on Twitter like what do Like, I can't even imagine

775
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: what ridiculous move the Dodgers are going to make now

776
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 2: to like combat the Giants getting wrapped out Devers, Like

777
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: what should they do? And I said, they stood just

778
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: trade for Matt Chapman, so the Dever so that the

779
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: Giants have to play Devers at their base.

780
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty good, all right. Last topic here in

781
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: round of the bases. This is a quick one, just

782
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: because I didn't really have a good fourth and I

783
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: had wanted to talk about this player. We really haven't

784
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: talked much about him this year. Are we talking enough

785
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: about Saya Suzuki. His slash line this year is two

786
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: sixty one three seventeen five thirty six. He has eighteen

787
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: home runs. Only seven players in baseball, all of baseball,

788
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: have more home runs than say A Suzuki, And I

789
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: wonder if from a fantasy perspective, he's maybe getting overshadowed

790
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: by the fact that he has this mega superstar MVP

791
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: candidate breakout in Pete Crow Armstrong in the same outfield,

792
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: kind of taking all the headlines and the hype away.

793
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: But I feel like Saya Suzuki has been great, and

794
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious where you would have him in

795
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: the rest of season outfield rankings.

796
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: I actually recently moved him up. I would have to

797
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: look at where my rankings are. But I think there's

798
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: like it's not like post type like prospect fatigue, but

799
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 2: there's almost like when he came over from Japan, there

800
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: there was a lot of hype around him. We were

801
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: very excited about him and his first season was like fine,

802
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: and then the next two seasons we were both really good,

803
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: but he also dealt with injuries, but the both two

804
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: years or both years, and so it's not quite at though,

805
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 2: like Byron Bucks and Mike Trout level where we're like

806
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 2: what could it be? But there is always like he's

807
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 2: dealt with like foot injuries and like how much is

808
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: he gonna run? And you know, we we've never gotten

809
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 2: a full season at him, like still like he came

810
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: over in twenty twenty two and his games played are

811
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: one hundred eleven, one thirty eight, one thirty two and

812
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: now this year we had sixty nine nice and twenty

813
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: twenty three and twenty twe four were both really good years.

814
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 2: But you know, we like he only had one hundred

815
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 2: thirty eight and one hundred three and two games, and

816
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: so it was almost kind of like, you know, if

817
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: you're like, like, if you're read to draft him this offseason,

818
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: did you have to draft him at a ceiling? Because

819
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: he had one hundred and thirty two games, He had

820
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: twenty one home runs, he stole sixteen bases in a

821
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 2: bad two eighty three, And we always wanted to just

822
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: extrapolay that to a full season and be like, well,

823
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: if you played a full season, maybe we get twenty

824
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 2: five home runs to twenty stolen bases and even better

825
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 2: counting stats. But then then you're drafting meda ceiling and

826
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: you're kind of like hoping for those counting stats, and

827
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: so maybe we are just seeing even though the batting

828
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: average is a little bit lower, it's two sixty one,

829
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: it's not like terribly lower. Ironically, his average last year

830
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 2: was twoenty three. Expect the batting average two fifty five.

831
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 2: This year it's too sixty one, respect the batting average

832
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: two seventy three. So it's kind of like the inverse.

833
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Maybe he's

834
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: just a two seventy hitter and that's just what he is.

835
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: Career average actually two seventy five, That might be exactly correct.

836
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's not running as much, which I think

837
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: is fine as long as he's sitting for this kind

838
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: of power, and I'm not sure how much. Is kind

839
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: of like he's being overshadowed by Petek Armstrong, but I

840
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: think it's almost just kind of like maybe feeler just

841
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: waiting for the other shoe to drop, Like all right,

842
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 2: but when's it getting injured? Like or like what what

843
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 2: happens now? But we'll see. So far he looks really good.

844
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of ironic that I poised, you know, you know,

845
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: pose this question as getting overshadowed by Peek Armstrong because

846
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: I want to ask you actually about PCA a follow

847
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: up question instead of about says a key in Saya's

848
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: own segment. But I think you're pretty your analysis in

849
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: Saya is pretty spot on. I don't have a lot

850
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: to disagree with with Pete Crow Armstrong. I want you

851
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: to just very very quickly, because we got to move on,

852
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: ask you where is he in Dynasty?

853
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 2: For you?

854
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: We don't often talk a lot of Dynasty on this show,

855
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: but when I was thinking about this, I was looking

856
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: at our rest of season rankings. He's He's outfield twelve

857
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: in the consensus rest of season rankings, pretty high, and

858
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: he's only twenty three, So should he be higher? In Dynasty?

859
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes those rankings are slower to update obviously in season

860
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: on the baseball side of things. But but where do

861
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: you think he should be in amongst Dynasty outfielders? Well?

862
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 2: First off, did customer support brought you up to this?

863
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: Because I got pinged this morning about updating my Dynasty

864
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 2: rankings because they're out of date and because so January.

865
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. That's hilarious.

866
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone wrote in and be like, hey, like Welshin

867
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: and Mayor their Dynasty rankings need to be updated. I

868
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 2: was like, all right, I'll update him soon, which I

869
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 2: do need to do. But it's just like it's like

870
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: such a massive undertaking to like, you know, like in

871
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 2: season is kind of like I just update those like

872
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: a little bit every day so that they're always, you know,

873
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 2: like within a few days, they're always kind of updated.

874
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 2: Dynasty is like you got to change everything. So where

875
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 2: did you say peak Armstrong is the rest of season?

876
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: I believe he's twelfth amongst outfielders. Really twelve, Okay, I

877
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: think that's what I saw when I looked. I'll pull

878
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: it up again while you're talking.

879
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: I have him at sixteen. So maybe I'm too low

880
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 2: on It's hard to say with Pek Armstrong just because

881
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: like he's such an exciting fun player, but like I

882
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: keep waiting.

883
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: Twenty ninth over all outfield twelve, Wow.

884
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: Okay, that's higher than expected. Maybe I'm maybe I'm too

885
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: low on him. I have him sixteenth, but it's just

886
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: like I keep waiting for him to slow down. He

887
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: just kind of never does. Because, like we talked, We've

888
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: talked about Hi a few times on the show. We

889
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 2: talked about him like a month or a month or

890
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 2: so ago, and he was just kind of like pop

891
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: flying some of these home runs and hard contact wasn't great.

892
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: And now it's just like, maybe that doesn't matter. Maybe

893
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: he's just like an excited player and that's just who

894
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 2: he is. And also he has stolen twenty three bases already,

895
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: and so maybe when you have that kind of like

896
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: it is nice when you have this kind of player

897
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 2: that even if they do kind of slow down or

898
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: go into a slump, having that speed as a floor

899
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 2: to like, oh, he also has twenty three stolen bases.

900
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: Looks like even if he slows down a little bit,

901
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: you're still gonna get those, you know, those numbers. That

902
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 2: becomes really valuable. So I don't know how I have

903
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: in Dynasty. I have him sixteenth. Rest of the season.

904
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: I probably need to move him up. I'll oppose it

905
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 2: to you real quick as I move him up the

906
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 2: rest of season. Peaker Armstrong or Tiascar Hernandez, Pek Armstrong, Okay,

907
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 2: I'll move him up. Piker Armstrong or O'Neil Cruz.

908
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: That's a fun one. I think I might lean Pca,

909
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: but that's it. That's tough.

910
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 2: What about Jackson Merrow?

911
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: I think I go Peaker Armstrong just with the injury

912
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: stuff Merril has been dealing with.

913
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: James would that would?

914
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: For sure? I am like the James would. I love

915
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: James would okay?

916
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 2: And then above would I have Jaron Duran?

917
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: M Yeah, I'd probably keep Duran there, all right, I'll.

918
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: Bump up PC to fourteen.

919
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: All right?

920
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 2: Now, Dynasty, Yeah, I don't know where I haven't done.

921
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: Let's let's update it real quick. Let's i'll see where

922
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 2: I mean. Where I have him now is going to

923
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: be married because I haven't updated this yet this season.

924
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: So he's forty eight right now, so I would say

925
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 2: that's out of date. So let's move him all the

926
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 2: way up too. Let's put him right here at twenty three,

927
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 2: and then I'll post the same question to you, Pete.

928
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 2: So this is Dynasty now, outfielder, I have him at

929
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: twenty three, Pete, Kor Armstrong or Kyle Schwarber in.

930
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: Dynasty PCIA, Okay, let's move him up.

931
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: This is an interesting one because I think one player

932
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 2: is ascending and the other one is. Maybe we were

933
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: too excited about Jason Dominguz. Oh, Pete kar Sewan, Yeah,

934
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 2: I think I still like Jason Domingez, but I think

935
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 2: that star is not shining quite as brightly. How about Lawrence.

936
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: Butler, I'd say, Pete kar Armstrong, Riley Green, PCA.

937
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 2: Okay, this one I'm not I'm not going to ask.

938
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna move him up. Michael Harris, I'm I'm

939
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 2: so down on Michael Harris. I'm just gonna move PCI up.

940
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: M hm.

941
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 2: Okay. So we did this one in Redraft, the same

942
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 2: question O'Neil Cruz in Dynasty or PCA.

943
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: I would say, it's equally difficult for me. Yeah, I

944
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: think i'd probably yeah, I think I might. I don't know,

945
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: actually that that feels like a real coin flip to me.

946
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 2: Okay, how about so in Redraft we had Duran. What

947
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 2: about Duran and Dynasty?

948
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: I think probably, well, I don't know, maybe maybe how

949
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 1: old is Duran?

950
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: He is I think twenty seven, twenty eight, let's see.

951
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: I know, I think I go PCA. That's enough of

952
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: an age difference that I'll give the ways to the.

953
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 2: He's twenty eight. He turns twenty nine in.

954
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 1: September, so he's I'll go PCA.

955
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 2: Okay, Brent Rooker.

956
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: I love Brent Rooker. That's tough. I mean, there's a

957
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: there's an age gap there for sure.

958
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: This is probably the line. So I have PC eight seventeen,

959
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: and the right above him, I have Owneil Cruise, and

960
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 2: then I'll probably move up. I'll move him above Cruise

961
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 2: just because of the exciting factor. But right above there,

962
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 2: I don't know that I can move him above many

963
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: of these because it's Brent Rooker and then Roman Anthony

964
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 2: and then Jackson Merrill and then your boy James Wood.

965
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 2: This is this is an interesting one for age. Let

966
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 2: me pull up this. How old is this player? So

967
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: he's this player is he turns twenty eight next week.

968
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 2: He's one of the best hitters in baseball. He's also

969
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 2: one of the most oft injured players in baseball who

970
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: just can't stay on the field. Although he did play

971
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty seven games last year, it was

972
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 2: just he was just hurt. Like the whole year, you

973
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 2: were done Alvarez. H, that's an interesting one in Dynasty.

974
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: That is really interesting because the if not for the

975
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: injury factor, I don't think it's interesting, but it's really interesting.

976
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 2: With that. I think I think I can make a

977
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 2: case that I have to me, this isn't a Dynasty show,

978
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 2: but I think I could make a case that you should. Mean,

979
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 2: it's probably hard to sell right now when you're in

980
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 2: an overis, but if he comes back healthy and produces,

981
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: it's probably time to sell because he's got these lingering

982
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 2: like hand issues and then also just two knees that

983
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 2: are shot, and like I don't know how much longer

984
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: he's gonna play.

985
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: He also might not have outfield eligibility, like there will

986
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: be years where he doesn't probably soon. Yeah, by the way,

987
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: this year, I'm not sure that Roman Anthony should be

988
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: ahead of PCA. I know he's like a top prospect,

989
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, really exciting, but like PCA is twenty three

990
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: and he's already doing it at an MVP level. So

991
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they should be switched, but I'm saying

992
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced they shouldn't. It will be my stance.

993
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 2: You have played six games in the outfield this year.

994
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 2: I think that's a blast mistake. I think it's a

995
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 2: disrespectful take to Roman Anthony. Roman Anthony is twenty one.

996
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: And remember when I said we need to be quick

997
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: on this, Yeah, do which. By the way, I'm only

998
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: to be clear to everybody, I'm not trying to rush

999
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: with the conversation. We have another show coming up very soon,

1000
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: so we're kind of up against the clock here. We're

1001
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: very busy day of recording. That's why I'm kind of

1002
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: rushing us through this. But I think that's enough Dynasty

1003
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: talk for this show. Since we don't usually do that

1004
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: on here. We'll go ahead and wrap that up there.

1005
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: Be sure everybody to check out the other segments we

1006
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: have coming out throughout the weekend. We of course will

00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: have our Bilo Sell High Waivers episode segment, whatever you
