Speaker 1: Read them and weep. Let's play ball. Welcome everybody to
Speaker 1: leading off right here on Fantasy Bros. MLB, brought to
Speaker 1: you by Ben MGM, the King of sportsbooks. It is
Speaker 1: me and it's Mike Mayer today with you, Joey P
Speaker 1: and Mike E. M This is the boys getting it done.
Speaker 1: Mike is fresh from the from the dentist chair. So
Speaker 1: show everybody the big pearly whites. Oh, there they are
Speaker 1: on the YouTube channel. You got a good check up yesterday,
Speaker 1: a big.
Speaker 2: Guy, great checkup.
Speaker 3: Whenever you don't have like a cavet or a root canal,
Speaker 3: you know that's a win. They still, you know, they
Speaker 3: scrape your gums a little bit too much for my liking.
Speaker 3: But other than that, you know, as good as it
Speaker 3: could have gone.
Speaker 1: Do you think they enjoy that. I feel like they
Speaker 1: hygienist enjoys the scraping of the gums. I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, that's one of those things when they get
Speaker 1: in there and they're like, oh yeah, it's gonna hurt
Speaker 1: a little bit. And and the the sharp of that
Speaker 1: tool seems staggeringly strong to me. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: made out of wolverine's claws because I don't know how
Speaker 1: they could dig in there the way they dig and
Speaker 1: then not ever break it. It seems like an indestructible material.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Mike Mayhor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they definitely enjoy it, and they definitely spend like
Speaker 3: way too much time on like the top front where
Speaker 3: it's like the most sensitive, and they just have this
Speaker 3: like razor sharp tool that vibrates and like sprays water
Speaker 3: and they're like, I'm just gonna like scrape you clean
Speaker 3: for a while, but like spend the most time in
Speaker 3: the areas where it hurts the most.
Speaker 2: So they definitely enjoy it. I mean, what else did
Speaker 2: you enjoy? Looking at people say that's.
Speaker 1: True, I had a streak, Mike Mayor. I never had
Speaker 1: a cavity in my entire life until I hit forty,
Speaker 1: and then it was a cavity that turned out to
Speaker 1: get infected and had a root canal. So I did
Speaker 1: the whole thing and it wasn't so bad. I mean,
Speaker 1: people complain about it. I mean, the root canal didn't
Speaker 1: hurt nearly as bad as the tooth hurt before. But anyway,
Speaker 1: hopefully today's show won't be like pulling teeth. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk baseball. And I start with the big news of
Speaker 1: the day and that is Redebt Mers going no no again.
Speaker 1: It's the Tampa Bay Rays. So this was a fun
Speaker 1: little stat. He was started in eighteen percent of leagues
Speaker 1: this week on CBS. I went and I found that
Speaker 1: because I thought that was very amusing. So Reed Debtmers
Speaker 1: helped some teams, not a whole lot of teams, but
Speaker 1: eleventh career start, a no hitter. Not a lot of
Speaker 1: strikeouts in this one, but a fun night of baseball.
Speaker 1: It also included Anthony Rendone hitting a home run patting
Speaker 1: left handed off of Brett Phillips, so that was a
Speaker 1: good time. Mike Trout hit to him runs in that game.
Speaker 1: So would you take away from this one from Reed
Speaker 1: Debtmers last night for the Halos.
Speaker 3: Well, it was funny. He only had two strikeouts. Also,
Speaker 3: Phillips is also the person who almost had a hit
Speaker 3: in this game. I don't know if you saw that
Speaker 3: highlight of the ground ball at a first base that
Speaker 3: Jared Wallace botched that Phillips may have beaten out if
Speaker 3: it was a clean ground ball. So that was the
Speaker 3: only questionable one. I think it's right to call it
Speaker 3: an error, but I do think there's maybe a fifty
Speaker 3: percent chance that Phillips beats out that ground ball, even
Speaker 3: if it's filled cleanly.
Speaker 1: And fun fact, the few strikeouts in the complete game
Speaker 1: no hitter is not redebt meurse, no, no. They were
Speaker 1: zero strikeouts three times by Earl Hamilton in nineteen twelve
Speaker 1: when I was born, Sam Jones in nineteen twenty three,
Speaker 1: and Ken Holtzman in nineteen sixty nine when Mayor was born.
Speaker 1: So there you go, no hitters with no strikeouts. That
Speaker 1: seems like a tough thing to pull off, but alas
Speaker 1: this is the beauty of baseball, Strange things always happen.
Speaker 1: Speaking of strange things, about that, Justin Verlander to get
Speaker 1: a no hitter alsmost to the wire as well. He
Speaker 1: lost it in the eighth inning, only eighty four pitches
Speaker 1: with one out in the eighth when he gave up
Speaker 1: his hit. Verlander is completely bounced back. I am not surprised.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite investments this year. So hopefully you
Speaker 1: listened on that one. Aaron Judge first career walk off
Speaker 1: home run. The Stanton home run in this one was
Speaker 1: a joke. The ball that was hit by Espinal that
Speaker 1: was ruled a home run and then a double was
Speaker 1: a joke. Yes, Yankee Stadium is a joke. This has
Speaker 1: always been the case. Let's get over ourselves. But still,
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge the first walk off, This was certainly fun.
Speaker 1: It feels like Aaron Judge is fixing and get paid.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the walk off there for
Speaker 1: the big mat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm glad he hit the walk off like
Speaker 3: six hundred feet because it made up for the Stanton
Speaker 3: Ham run going like two hundred feet in that joke
Speaker 3: of the stadium. Yeah, I mean we've seen Aaron Judge
Speaker 3: like get hot and then like he goes to that
Speaker 3: period where like people just figure out that he can't
Speaker 3: hit sliders away and so then like his stroutgrapher a
Speaker 3: little while. But I think he's fixing to get paid,
Speaker 3: and I think the Yankees probably botched this a little
Speaker 3: bit not paying him before the season, although I think
Speaker 3: I could see both sides of that one, and I
Speaker 3: think ultimately I kind of lean like Yankees with like
Speaker 3: his injury history and like not paying him so like
Speaker 3: they can't afford to lose his But for.
Speaker 1: The Yank I think it's good for the Yankees to
Speaker 1: because of the injury history he's had. I think you
Speaker 1: could sell it to the fan base better coming off
Speaker 1: the big year that you make the investment, Like you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay him through the nose, no matter why.
Speaker 1: You have to pay a ton for Aaron Judge, So
Speaker 1: you might.
Speaker 2: Have because of that joke.
Speaker 3: Stadium they have a part of their stadium named after
Speaker 3: after him, like Judges Quarters or whatever that is, and
Speaker 3: like left field, like they have to rebrand that.
Speaker 2: If they if they don't resign him to be like, oh,
Speaker 2: take down somehow.
Speaker 1: I think the Yankees will find a way to get
Speaker 1: it done. Tarik Schouble continues to be good. Seven shoutoutings
Speaker 1: for him over the A's Robbie Ray. Nice performance from him.
Speaker 1: Ten strikeouts over the Phillies. Oh at Phillies lineup. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you Jojo already better watch himself. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: the rumblings in Philadelphia are going to get stronger and
Speaker 1: stronger as they struggle. Madison Bumgarner was good against Miami.
Speaker 1: Kyle Bradish. How about this eleven strikeouts against the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Is because it is Bradish, a guy that everybody should
Speaker 1: be running to the waiver wire to pick up.
Speaker 3: I don't know about running to the waiver wire, but
Speaker 3: I did look into him a little bit this morning,
Speaker 3: and I mean, there are some good numbers there. The
Speaker 3: thing for me is that like he's kind of like
Speaker 3: a fringe talent on a bad team, which like if
Speaker 3: he was like on the Dodgers, then yeah, I'd be
Speaker 3: sprinting to the waiver wire. But like, the strikeout numbers
Speaker 3: were good. He had some good strikeout numbers in like
Speaker 3: lower levels. We had that kind of like twenty twenty
Speaker 3: lowlast year where you kind of like missed that year
Speaker 3: of development.
Speaker 2: But I mean it looked pretty.
Speaker 3: Good, and it's you know, it's good that left field
Speaker 3: in Camden Yards is now eight hundred feet away, so
Speaker 3: that helps.
Speaker 1: It's so ugly too, Can I just kiddy this. It's
Speaker 1: ugly dangerous, It's ugly, it's dangerous. It's no fun. I
Speaker 1: get trying to adjust it, but they've adjusted it in
Speaker 1: such a way where it's it's such an eyesore. I
Speaker 1: really hate it. And it's such a beautiful place and
Speaker 1: I've been there numerous times to watch baseball live and
Speaker 1: if you have never been, and I encourage you to,
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful ballpark, but it is really just crappy,
Speaker 1: like they did a crap job.
Speaker 3: Another we could do an Alas trade and like move
Speaker 3: in left field and cam yards and like give some
Speaker 3: of that fence to right different Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to split the difference. Cedric Mullens Homeward
Speaker 1: Soule base four hit day for him. He's red hot
Speaker 1: right now. Snell looking good in a triple A start,
Speaker 1: so he should be joining that rotation relatively soon, perhaps
Speaker 1: on the weekend, perhaps beginning of next week. We shall see.
Speaker 1: And then Justin Turner finally signs of life. Four hits,
Speaker 1: four ribies last night, and that when Tony Gonsolon got
Speaker 1: another win, and of course against the Pirates. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you this is your time. That Thera is like one.
Speaker 1: It's time to get out of Tony gonsoln business and
Speaker 1: flip them for something better if you can. On the
Speaker 1: injury front, Saya Suzuki almost returned to the lineup but
Speaker 1: was scratched. Did not oh sorry, he did appear as
Speaker 1: a pitch hitter, and the Rays say no injury to
Speaker 1: Wander Franco. We're just pulling him out because this game
Speaker 1: is out of control. I was talking to you before
Speaker 1: the show started today, Mayor, and I said that the
Speaker 1: Rays have to pull off another deal like they did
Speaker 1: last year where they brought in Nelson Cruz type bat.
Speaker 1: They got to bring in somebody because they don't have
Speaker 1: a middle of the order presence. And look, if you're
Speaker 1: the Rais and a Rose Ray is not hitting and
Speaker 1: some of these other guys are struggling and it's just
Speaker 1: wander Frankel. That's not enough offensively to compete for the
Speaker 1: ease right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they already pulled off their best move
Speaker 3: over the last few years in getting rid of heim
Speaker 3: Bloom and sending him to the Red Sox, and so
Speaker 3: that has really changed the dynamic in the Al East.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're the Rays. They always do something. They'll
Speaker 3: either they'll promote someone who will just like pitch lights out,
Speaker 3: or you know, they'll find some gem in the bargain.
Speaker 3: Vand I mean, this is what they do.
Speaker 1: But you gotta score runs, like I mean, he's just
Speaker 1: you got to put more runs on the table. That's it.
Speaker 1: He Actually, here's a good question too with the Snell return.
Speaker 1: This is from Mark. The Snell return affect Gore spot
Speaker 1: in the rotation. Your thoughts, Mike Mayer. So we have Musgrove, Darvish,
Speaker 1: and Meniah locked in correct, So after that, so anybody
Speaker 1: into Clevenger just came back. So that's your four. I'm
Speaker 1: sure Nick Martinez can go bounce. Is Gore in trouble,
Speaker 1: he could be, I mean he shouldn't be, but he
Speaker 1: could be.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'd ideally like to see them and you
Speaker 3: don't really want to go to a six man rotation
Speaker 3: because you don't want to like not start Darvish, Manaia
Speaker 3: and the others. But they do have Clevenger coming back
Speaker 3: from injury, so he wouldn't you know, he could benefit
Speaker 3: from nextra day off. They've shown in the past that
Speaker 3: like they're not all in on Gore, I mean with
Speaker 3: his like previous struggles. But I mean, I feel like
Speaker 3: he's pitching well enough now that he should stick in
Speaker 3: the rotation. But we'll see. They've done this before.
Speaker 1: And I imagined, you know, you want to get the
Speaker 1: lefty in that rotation. So if Snell is healthy, I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna rush Snell. That being said, I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna wait and bide their time a little bit.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about this. Major League Baseball executives
Speaker 1: were polled on some big topics in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: So here's how some of the results shook out. Which
Speaker 1: player or team has been the biggest surprise. The top
Speaker 1: vote getter was Taylor Ward, which would have been my vote,
Speaker 1: five votes for him. Eric Cosmer had three, the Twins
Speaker 1: had three, The National League West ed one vote, and
Speaker 1: then the Rockies, the Angels. Some moron was surprised about
Speaker 1: the Brewers. I don't know what moron that was. Carlos
Speaker 1: Rodan got to vote, Eric Lower got to vote. So
Speaker 1: I'll ask you, of all these are another one, who's
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise so far of twenty twenty two?
Speaker 3: The biggest surprise is the answers to these polls, because
Speaker 3: these are garbage answers.
Speaker 1: Like it, like you were saying, like I've been waiting
Speaker 1: to see today, let's go. I was a garbage answers.
Speaker 2: I was reading this before you started. I was Ward
Speaker 2: makes sense.
Speaker 3: I was like, Hosmerbo's the dumb one because he's he's
Speaker 3: done this before. I mean, maybe it's surprising he stayed
Speaker 3: hot this long, but I mean, like the Twins aren't
Speaker 3: that that surprising? They went out and got Korea, you know,
Speaker 3: like you knew they were going to try and win
Speaker 3: and know West, Like that's the least surprising thing maybe
Speaker 3: in baseball history that the n West is good.
Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks are a couple of games over five hundred
Speaker 1: is shocking. I'm shocked by that. So the division is
Speaker 1: a hockey up there. Yeah, but like the fact that
Speaker 1: everyone the division's over five hundred, that's that's shocking. I
Speaker 1: get that one.
Speaker 3: I would bet money that that answer came from like
Speaker 3: the GM of the Rockies or the Diamondbacks, like, oh, look.
Speaker 2: At us, We're a surprise.
Speaker 1: Probably not a surprise. Come on, Eric, Eric Lower would
Speaker 1: be a good one too. I think Lower and I
Speaker 1: think uh Taylor Ward would be the two answers. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's do another one. Let's see what kind of garbage
Speaker 1: you think This one is? Which player or team has
Speaker 1: been the biggest dis appointment? Your Red Sox got eight votes?
Speaker 1: The Reds got five, But I mean you had to
Speaker 1: know what. Joey Vado alone got three, The Phillies got three.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what I think the Phillies Trevor
Speaker 1: Story got one vote, But the Phillies would be my
Speaker 1: thing cause I thought the Phillies with Cassie Allison Schwarber,
Speaker 1: I thought that those are two really good moves and
Speaker 1: it's just not come together for this Phillies team right
Speaker 1: now and they just don't look good offensively. They they've
Speaker 1: had some struggles in the bullpen. So that would be
Speaker 1: my vote, would be the Phillies. But who's the biggest
Speaker 1: disappointment team? More individual for you and don't sing me
Speaker 1: that's not a good answer.
Speaker 3: Well you have Well that ties into my argument about
Speaker 3: the Red Sox because you have to have expectations in
Speaker 3: that are to be disappointed, and so I don't have
Speaker 3: any expectations for you, and so you continue to not
Speaker 3: disappoint me.
Speaker 1: Because it's like, isn't that what Vince Vaughan says at
Speaker 1: the beginning of Dodgeball, If you don't set goals, then
Speaker 1: you can't fail, and then you know you're you're in
Speaker 1: good shape after that, you.
Speaker 2: Know, and if you can dodge a rench, you can
Speaker 2: dodge a ball.
Speaker 1: That is also but that he didn't say that one,
Speaker 1: and that was what Rip Torn said. But he said,
Speaker 1: if you don't I find if you don't have goals,
Speaker 1: then you're not disappointed when you don't reach them. And
Speaker 1: I gotta say, it feels pretty good. I think I'm paraphrasing,
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty close.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so did you?
Speaker 1: So do you have an answer? Is it the Red Sox?
Speaker 1: They're they're the most disappointing.
Speaker 2: See, I mean I don't.
Speaker 3: I think in general, yes, but like I was very
Speaker 3: low and the Red Sox coming into the year, So
Speaker 3: I'm not that disappointed in them because this is I mean,
Speaker 3: the reds is obviously a dumb answer because like they
Speaker 3: gave up months ago before the season even started. I
Speaker 3: think the Phillies is probably the right answer. Marcus Simeon
Speaker 3: is an answer. But I think a lot of people
Speaker 3: kind of saw this coming. You know, there were a
Speaker 3: lot of smart people in the baseball industry being like,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't really buy and simon this year, the Phillies
Speaker 3: is a go on. I figured they would struggle more
Speaker 3: with like just pitching than opposed to the lineup, but
Speaker 3: they're kind of struggling with both.
Speaker 1: All Right, who will be the biggest name moved? The
Speaker 1: front office executives voted Frankie Montoss to be the most
Speaker 1: That's what I would have said to Montoss. Guestio got
Speaker 1: the second most votes. Somebody said, Xander Bogar's five people. Actually,
Speaker 1: if al they had two votes, you Nola gotta vote,
Speaker 1: Bryan Reynolds got to vote. Nelson Cruz is definitely going
Speaker 1: to be moved. Joey Gallo gotta vote, which thought was
Speaker 1: interesting but the most interesting. Somebody said Juan Soto. And
Speaker 1: there's no way they're trading Juan Soto right now. They
Speaker 1: can't there. I just I can't see them doing it
Speaker 1: now and in season. That would be shocking to me.
Speaker 1: But we shall see. Frankie Mantos at Guesto. Those are
Speaker 1: the two for me, and Xander Bogarts makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense if they're going to look, you can't be
Speaker 1: happy with you got at Trevor story so far. So
Speaker 1: if I was the Red Sox, I'd be very careful
Speaker 1: about moving Xander Bogarts. But who is the biggest name
Speaker 1: in your opinion that's going to get moved for the
Speaker 1: trade deadline?
Speaker 2: Well, I think the.
Speaker 3: Top two or you know, as close to locks to
Speaker 3: getting moved as you can get. I think the Bogarts
Speaker 3: one is interesting because it came out last week that
Speaker 3: like he's pissed at the Red Sox and that they
Speaker 3: like lowballed him.
Speaker 2: You know another Hein Bloom special. I was watching MLB
Speaker 2: Network this morning and they had an interesting fit for
Speaker 2: a Bogarx trade, and that was the Cardinals, who just
Speaker 2: sent down Paul Dean to the minor leagues and could
Speaker 2: really use a good shortstop like Xander Bogart's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, can we talk about that move? By the way
Speaker 1: they pulled the young get sent down. You can easily
Speaker 1: move a guy who want to go glove and Tommy
Speaker 1: Edmond over to shortstop who played shortstop in the minor
Speaker 1: leagues and call up Noan Gorman. Yet we refuse to
Speaker 1: do this. I am losing patience with the Cardinals. I now,
Speaker 1: is Nolan Gorman getting protected because they're gonna make that
Speaker 1: kind of deal? Is he gonna go to the Boston
Speaker 1: Red Sox? If so, fine, but they are cramping my
Speaker 1: style with this, dude, I am. I am not happy.
Speaker 1: I saw the young thing and I went, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: who's the call up? And I saw it. I was like,
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me, Bro, that's not the guy.
Speaker 3: To bro, Bro, you got your your Juan Yepez, so
Speaker 3: just be happy with that.
Speaker 1: First to get my Yez. But I mean, do we
Speaker 1: have a Yepez dispenser joke all lined up already or not,
Speaker 1: like when he hits a home run or something that.
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got to have that on the scoreboard where.
Speaker 2: It's I I'm sure John Sterling will come up with
Speaker 2: something stupid.
Speaker 3: Pez dispenses home run he speaking of he called that
Speaker 3: run he was like a Stantonian blast.
Speaker 2: I was like, that went like two hundred feet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say that was not a Stantonian plast.
Speaker 1: It is high, it is far, it is caught by
Speaker 1: the short high neither of those the third out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not a not a great look. All right, Let's move
Speaker 1: to Sarah Langs here for a second. Here's a fun
Speaker 1: fact that she posted on the Twitter machine. Redebt Meurs
Speaker 1: yesterday entered with a six three three e RA. That's
Speaker 1: the third highest career e RA at the time of
Speaker 1: throwing a no hitter. Wilson Alvarez had one that was
Speaker 1: off the charts, but it was early in ninety one.
Speaker 1: And infinity is what you wrote. And then Bobo Holloman,
Speaker 1: everybody loves a good Bobo Holloman great quote or a
Speaker 1: moment who had an era of eight four to four.
Speaker 1: So is this the time to trade redebt meers in
Speaker 1: your opinion?
Speaker 3: Yeah, last night was the time to trade redets, like
Speaker 3: the second after the.
Speaker 2: At first place, you trade.
Speaker 1: Him nice before everybody's sobered up. All right, Nolan Gorman
Speaker 1: watched this is day? Was this like twenty six? I
Speaker 1: feel like now I feel like we're in day twenty
Speaker 1: six of Nolan Gorman watch. So tomorrow will be day
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I can't believe the young got sent down
Speaker 1: and we didn't get them called up. I just all right,
Speaker 1: trivia question here and this is this is yours. So
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer for this one. So Mike
Speaker 1: Mayer's in control of this. Mike Mayer, why don't you
Speaker 1: this is your trivia question, Why don't you throw it
Speaker 1: out there to the Peanuts and cracker Jacks who were
Speaker 1: watching and listening to the show.
Speaker 3: Sure, so there were a bunch of fun Josh Haters
Speaker 3: stats last night because he got you know, he hit
Speaker 3: that like, what is it like five hundred strikeout? So
Speaker 3: his Josh Hater's forty four point three percent strikeout rate
Speaker 3: is by far the highest mark for any pitcher with
Speaker 3: at least two hundred innings pitched. Do you do you
Speaker 3: know who number two on the list is? And the
Speaker 3: hint is that it's a current reliever, a current.
Speaker 1: Reliever that has a strikeout rate higher than forty four.
Speaker 3: Lower than forty four. Number two, Josh Hater's number one.
Speaker 3: This is number two. It's above forty but it's below
Speaker 3: forty four.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's right below Hater. Is there like a
Speaker 1: minimum here? He's a current reliever meeting he's like a
Speaker 1: new guy, or is he.
Speaker 2: Like around somebody? It's with it.
Speaker 3: It's with at least two hundred innings, so he's been around. Well,
Speaker 3: he's he's a veteran.
Speaker 1: Okay, with at least two hundred innings pisched. So a
Speaker 1: veteran reliever. All right, I'm gonna think about that. Peanuts
Speaker 1: and Cracker Jackson. If you have an answer, go ahead
Speaker 1: and put it in there. A lot of people are saying,
Speaker 1: the world is Chapman? Is that the correct answer?
Speaker 2: It is not correct. No, not Chapman.
Speaker 1: It is not correct, is it? Edwin Diaz just also, okay,
Speaker 1: because Kaleo just said it, and I just said at
Speaker 1: the same time. So I don't think it's Kimberl. I
Speaker 1: saw Kimberle on that list. So we'll do some stat heroes,
Speaker 1: and zero's Kimbrel, and then it's Kimbrel. It is Kimbrel.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, the hirsh is right, Kimberrel.
Speaker 2: Look at you.
Speaker 1: The hirsh has got it. Well done, Hirsh well done.
Speaker 1: All right, so there's your answer. Let's get to the
Speaker 1: stat heroes. Besides Redebt Meers, Justin Verlander eight scoreless innings
Speaker 1: to Rescooble seven squirreless sttings, Kyle Bradish again the eleven
Speaker 1: k's unbelievable against the cards, Lucas Giolito five k's, one
Speaker 1: earned run, Freddy p five and two thirds one more out?
Speaker 1: Could we get him one more out to get the
Speaker 1: quality start? G'z ak's in a win over the Reds.
Speaker 1: The hitters last night. Mike Trout was great two dingers,
Speaker 1: three for four, Cedric Mallins was on fire, Corey Seger
Speaker 1: two for three with two dingers. Look at Corey Seger
Speaker 1: heating up. I mentioned Justin Turner breakout, which is very
Speaker 1: important for the length of this Dodger lineup. Rafield Dever's
Speaker 1: two four with the dinger, Edwin Rios one home run,
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge had a dinger. Jonathan Scope, who has dropped
Speaker 1: in a lot of leaks last two weeks. Of course,
Speaker 1: as soon as you dropped Jonathan Scope, you know he's
Speaker 1: gonna start to get hot. That's just who he is.
Speaker 1: And of course Stanton with his massive home run, Nick
Speaker 1: Solak who stole two bags. Also yesterday, the pitchers, we
Speaker 1: had some zero's there for the Corey Kluber eight earned runs,
Speaker 1: eleven hits in a lost to the Angel. That one's
Speaker 1: got a sting for all those Clube people out there,
Speaker 1: sends a tele of five earned runs, Kyle Wright six
Speaker 1: earned runs yesterday. What happened to Kyle right here? It
Speaker 1: was a bad inning? Is that all it is? We
Speaker 1: just chalk it up to one bad inning and we
Speaker 1: move on, or you'll worried here.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been kind of, like you know, earning
Speaker 3: some credit throughout. So like I I'm the genius who
Speaker 3: had Kyle Wright rostered in Dynasty leagues for like two
Speaker 3: or three years and dropped him before the season because
Speaker 3: I finally like got tired of waiting.
Speaker 2: And so that was great time.
Speaker 1: I've done the same thing in my in the past.
Speaker 1: I actually roped him last year because I was like,
Speaker 1: enough is enough. This is never gonna happen, So I
Speaker 1: can't blame it for doing it.
Speaker 3: He was getting a lot of credit last night because
Speaker 3: all six of those runs were in like in the
Speaker 3: second inning, I think, and they were like, oh, you know,
Speaker 3: he really bounced back and you know, showed some toughness
Speaker 3: to like, you know, go three more innings and like,
Speaker 3: you know, shut it down for that.
Speaker 1: So whatever, So he doesn't make the tough guy segment.
Speaker 1: So you're saying it was not really tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good for him, Okay.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough. Brad Keller five earned runs, hazus
Speaker 1: Lozardo four and runs in two and two thirds. Remember
Speaker 1: last week when I was saying, maybe Hazos Azaro is
Speaker 1: a perfect guy to be flipping right now, because it
Speaker 1: can't get much better than this, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's gonna sustain. Of course, I put Joe Ryan
Speaker 1: in my line for the first time in my killer
Speaker 1: Home League pitching staff, where I've got Verlander parole at
Speaker 1: the time, I've got Schureser, I've got everybody and I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, We're gonna finally crack the
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan two star week, and of course he sucked,
Speaker 1: so I'm sorry. It's my fault everyone, and Jordan Romano
Speaker 1: with a rare bad outing, two walks, three earned in
Speaker 1: a third of an inning, Sheldon Noisy one for eight
Speaker 1: with four k's yesterday, Startling Marte over five with the
Speaker 1: hat trick, and then Jaber Bayez one for nine with
Speaker 1: two k's. Holy crap, Jaber Bayer's is my big bust
Speaker 1: of the year going into the season, big contract, bad
Speaker 1: line of protection, changing leagues, so many things could go
Speaker 1: wrong with Hobby Bayaz and they all have. And I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to take a victory lap, but what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to put out there.
Speaker 2: Is, but you're trying to take me to we need
Speaker 2: to learn.
Speaker 1: That this is an important thing to pay attention to
Speaker 1: when guys get these big contracts and they go to
Speaker 1: bad teams where they don't have line of protection, but
Speaker 1: historically they had places where they did and they lose
Speaker 1: that and they have a lot of swing and miss
Speaker 1: and they're kind of one of those you know, two
Speaker 1: true outcomes are gonna strike out or hit a home run.
Speaker 1: You got to take pay attention to that stuff. So
Speaker 1: can Hobby or Bayaz pull himself out of this in
Speaker 1: the second half? That is the question we saw Lindor
Speaker 1: do it at the end of last year. Is there
Speaker 1: that run in there for Hobby Bias in your opinion
Speaker 1: in twenty two?
Speaker 2: I think there is.
Speaker 3: And I think like he's always been someone I've been
Speaker 3: like terrified of because he defies a ton of the
Speaker 3: underlying metrics, Like he's as like terrible plate disip discipline.
Speaker 2: He strikes out a ton, he swings out a bunch
Speaker 2: of stuff. But he also like he's got.
Speaker 3: Like a little bit of that like Vlad Senior in
Speaker 3: him where he just like swings at terrible pitches and
Speaker 3: crushes them. And so I think you'll see him He's
Speaker 3: always been like a little streaky, So I think you'll
Speaker 3: see him get hot and like he's.
Speaker 2: Never gonna give you like a high average.
Speaker 3: But I, uh, yeah, I think there's always reason to
Speaker 3: be cautious with Hobby or Bias, But I think you're
Speaker 3: gonna see hot streaks to kind of give you the
Speaker 3: numbers that you're looking for.
Speaker 1: Look, you could buy him dirt cheap, right, Now that's
Speaker 1: why I ask because as much as I wanted to
Speaker 1: flag him going into the year, I didn't have to
Speaker 1: draft him. Now I'm curious to trade for him because
Speaker 1: if he's gonna go dirt cheap, You're right, he's gonna
Speaker 1: have a run at some point or how long it's
Speaker 1: gonna be, but it's gonna be something. Now here's one
Speaker 1: of the benefits of being.
Speaker 2: A good All these questions you already know the answers.
Speaker 1: Yes, I try being popular and having insider information. Here
Speaker 1: I got a little inside information from somebody close actually
Speaker 1: to the Saint Louis situation here in my DMS, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read this. This person is nameless, but this
Speaker 1: person is in the media, and this person does cover
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, so I don't want to put him out there.
Speaker 1: And he also is a big listener of the show.
Speaker 1: He's a big fan. This person knows who they are
Speaker 1: as I'm reading this altum. So I help him out
Speaker 1: with fantasy football stuff, so he likes to help me
Speaker 1: out with baseball things. See see the exchange of goods
Speaker 1: and services we do here on leading off. This is
Speaker 1: very important. The potential path for Gorman is an eventual
Speaker 1: DFA for Corey Dickerson. And apparently what's going on is
Speaker 1: it seems they're reluctant to use Edmonds's shortstop even though
Speaker 1: despite he could do it. What they want to do
Speaker 1: is they want to have Gorman basically not be a
Speaker 1: DH but they're trying to make sure that if they
Speaker 1: do give Edmond some time to acclimate again to shortstop,
Speaker 1: that they don't rush that, that they do it over
Speaker 1: a period of time time. So that is the case.
Speaker 1: So if you start to see Edmund getting some starts
Speaker 1: at shortstop in the next week or two, that's your
Speaker 1: signal that Gorman's getting called up. So thank you very
Speaker 1: much on that insider information.
Speaker 3: On that note, just to back that up, I did
Speaker 3: read somewhere last night. I think it was Derrek Gould
Speaker 3: maybe said said something similar, not necessarily tying it to Gorman,
Speaker 3: but tying it to Edmund and shortstop. He is taking
Speaker 3: ground ball, it's to shortstop before games. They're just like
Speaker 3: not ready to They're like happy with what he's doing
Speaker 3: at second base. He's off there a great start, like
Speaker 3: at the plate, and so they're like taking the shortstopthing
Speaker 3: very slow.
Speaker 2: So that does make sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there you go. See this, This is why
Speaker 1: you listen to the show because we get insider information. There.
Speaker 1: I can get you whatever you need. What do you need?
Speaker 1: Here's a guys who went zero for four or three strikeouts? Ready,
Speaker 1: that says or Hernandez Patrick wisdom to ask Hernandez, welcome back,
Speaker 1: Isaiah Kiner, Falefa Tyler, O'Neil, Kyle Schwarber, Kyle Schwarber and
Speaker 1: Bobby went So there you go. Another fun fact that
Speaker 1: you threw in hear anthe and don't hit a home
Speaker 1: run left handed last night while all these players have
Speaker 1: zero home runs on the year, Joey Vado, Marcus Simeon.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize Marcus Simeon had no home runs yet.
Speaker 1: I did not realize that. Trevor's story, Austin Meadows, Witt, Murrayfield,
Speaker 1: Cabrian Hayes, Robbie Grossman, and Yulie Giel. Who is your favorite,
Speaker 1: by low of this group here, Mayor oh.
Speaker 2: Man, that's a great question.
Speaker 3: I would say probably Merryfield, but I mean, like his
Speaker 3: bad at ball data terrible, but it's always kind of
Speaker 3: been terrible, and I don't think you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna get like any power out of him.
Speaker 3: But I mean you could get in the second half,
Speaker 3: not the word ad second half yet, but like a
Speaker 3: decent average and since stolen bases and so if someone's
Speaker 3: like really panicking and giving wit Maryfield away for free,
Speaker 3: I'll take those tolen bases.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Merryfield, and the other guy would be Simeon.
Speaker 1: You know why he just signed a giant contract on
Speaker 1: a bad team with not a lot of lineup protection. Oh,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, I just gave you the Kevin from
Speaker 1: Home alone right here, Kevin McAllister live on the YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Because it's Joe shocked that the guy who had a
Speaker 1: great year is now moving to a place where it's
Speaker 1: terrible and signed a big contract and it is changing
Speaker 1: his entire life. It's a transition.
Speaker 3: He's not playing in A ballparks anymore. What's that He's
Speaker 3: not playing in Triple A ballparks anymore? Remember the Blue
Speaker 3: Days were playing like.
Speaker 1: Look, I missed it eaton so much. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the home run board. The Niking in the North still
Speaker 1: at the top with twelve. All I do is win
Speaker 1: with twelve, JP thirty four with eleven, the Blum with
Speaker 1: eleven as well. Uh, we've got some double digitals as well.
Speaker 1: Larry ces up on the board and what's Flarge Socks
Speaker 1: is on the board as well with ten. Mike Mayor
Speaker 1: luckily is not on this board. All I do is
Speaker 1: win is ta though. Yeah, because the Aaron Judge and
Speaker 1: Larry c up to double digits thanks to Judge last
Speaker 1: night too, So some good work in the home run
Speaker 1: contest being done. All I did it again.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I got two from Mike Judge, from Mike Judge,
Speaker 3: Mike Trout last night, I got one for that's three
Speaker 3: in the last two days from Mike Trout for Mike Mayor.
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, yesterday when I came back. You're lucky because
Speaker 1: I made Scott Bogman accidentally Chris Welsh. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he caught that, but of course Chris did, and
Speaker 1: of course set me a screenshot of it, so that
Speaker 1: was very funny.
Speaker 3: So no, but I have done an entire show as
Speaker 3: someone else before because there wasn't like an overlay for me,
Speaker 3: so I did like an entire show as Tuma, I
Speaker 3: think once.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry to hear that. Let's get to

Speaker 1: All right, let's go on the rest of these.
Speaker 2: Yere.
Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez total basis on DK today one and a
Speaker 1: half at plus one twenty five. Yes, please, I want
Speaker 1: to pair that with all these I'm gonna put all
Speaker 1: these these Cleveland Guardians ones together runs for Jose Ramirez
Speaker 1: at point five. So if I like the total bases,
Speaker 1: I probably like the runs prop. I might as well
Speaker 1: do that too, plus one oh five. Josh Naylor, he's
Speaker 1: been on fire. They're all going against Alaskas too. He stinks.
Speaker 1: One and a half is the number of total bases
Speaker 1: for Josh Naylor. He's at plus one forty on that number.
Speaker 1: Give it a go, it is worth a shot. Jose
Speaker 1: l two a total bases on DK one and a
Speaker 1: half plus one thirty. I like the over on that.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of tempted with the Frano mil one because
Speaker 1: I'm getting plus two to oh five mayor mayor plus
Speaker 1: two oh five for an RBI. For Frano mil all
Speaker 1: he needs is one RBI. Can he do it? I
Speaker 1: don't know, Mike Maher. What are some that caught your
Speaker 1: eye on this day?
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny watching you go through them, because I like,
Speaker 3: I did mine without looking at ears, and I almost
Speaker 3: picked a bunch of the same ones. And I did
Speaker 3: pick a couple of similar ones, or at least the
Speaker 3: same game. I also have fran Mil I have him
Speaker 3: over half a total base, so at least one total base.
Speaker 3: That one's minus one thirty three. But like you said,
Speaker 3: A stinks. I have Aaron Savali minus one forty for
Speaker 3: over three and a half strikeouts.
Speaker 2: He's not a big.
Speaker 1: Strikeout and a half pretty low.
Speaker 3: He's like eight in his last start, so I'm hoping
Speaker 3: to get at least four there and then my big
Speaker 3: not big, but like my plus money gamble is Ty
Speaker 3: France against some picture named Bailey Falter over one and.
Speaker 2: A half total basis for plus one forty five.
Speaker 1: So, so, guy, what's his name? Falter? Is that what you.
Speaker 2: Said to say, Bailey Falter?
Speaker 3: It's like last year we were talking about Packy Naughton
Speaker 3: a lot on this show. Bailey Falter might be the
Speaker 3: new guy we talked about.
Speaker 1: My favorite guy used to be Genesis Cabrera, who I said,
Speaker 1: if that's not the name of somebody who is a
Speaker 1: professional dancer now in Miami somewhere, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: what is the name of a professional dancer Jennis now
Speaker 1: to the stage, Genesis Cabrera? Like that totally sounds like that.
Speaker 1: I liked. Falter is an unfortunate name for a starting pitcher, just.
Speaker 2: Not as unfortunate as Homer.
Speaker 1: Bailey or the no, no more unfortunate. Gotta go back,
Speaker 1: got a god, dial it back. Who is that guy?
Speaker 1: Was his name? Bobo Bobo Holloman, Bobo Hollo. I do
Speaker 1: enough Bobo's in baseball nowadays? Besides them, we're in general,
Speaker 1: al right, you know enoughbos in general? In general? Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe you should take on the Bobo Moniker. I mean,
Speaker 1: just throwing it out there. Here's the DFS outlook for
Speaker 1: the day. In the main slate on DK, Tylow the
Speaker 1: terrible nine point nine, Shane mcclanah ten point two, going
Speaker 1: head to ahead, agains Shoie Otani was eight point eight.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why you wouldn't take Otani
Speaker 1: at eight point eight on DK and play him with
Speaker 1: McGill and just be done with it. You could go
Speaker 1: with Jose your Queedi too at eight point one on
Speaker 1: DK and along with Otani, or you could go with
Speaker 1: your Creedy and Shane McClanahan and kind of offset the cost.
Speaker 1: There's just a lot. Those are the four guys. Basically,
Speaker 1: I would interchange and build lineups around that way. On
Speaker 1: FanDuel side, tylor is ten k mcclanahan's ten point three,
Speaker 1: So giveing McLanahan Showiotani's ten point eight. I'm sure everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna be on Otani. So I would go to McLanahan
Speaker 1: instead in tournaments tonight over on fandel in the single
Speaker 1: picture site and your Queedy at seven point six. If
Speaker 1: you want to go all the way down and go
Speaker 1: get stacks of Houston and the New York Mets tonight.
Speaker 1: That's a way to look at it. Lineup builders Heimer
Speaker 1: Candelario on DK three point five, jan Ya Pez, the
Speaker 1: Dispenser of Justice and home runs a three k on DK,
Speaker 1: Adam Duvala two point five on FanDuel with Merryfield is
Speaker 1: just two point four. He's still like five on DK,
Speaker 1: but Vandal's like screw that, he's two point four. Jonah
Speaker 1: Heim same thing, he's two point three on fandel on DK,
Speaker 1: he's five point two. I think tonight or five to one.
Speaker 1: Jan Ya Pez on FanDuel's cheap two at two point eight,
Speaker 1: and Julie Gariel no home runs. Perhaps tonight's the night
Speaker 1: at two point five. Any other guys you got your
Speaker 1: eye on?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So for pitching, your Queedie and mcguil would be
Speaker 3: it would be the two guys I went to just
Speaker 3: for price wise and for lineup builders. Brandon Neimo's only
Speaker 3: two point nine on FANDUL.
Speaker 2: He's the one. I like a lot.
Speaker 3: I like juan Ya Pez a lot. And also like
Speaker 3: there's a ton of really bad pitching on this slate tonight,
Speaker 3: and so just like look at the lineups and pick
Speaker 3: your favorite terrible pitcher, Bailey Falter, although I think he's
Speaker 3: just target one of our bad pictures and stack him.
Speaker 1: Home run calls of the night. I am going with
Speaker 1: Matt Olsen against your boy Nadie Valdi, who's giving up
Speaker 1: the second most home run so far, h only to
Speaker 1: Hunter Green. So if you're behind Hunter Green and you're
Speaker 1: number two, you've really achieved something. That is what I'm saying. Basically,
Speaker 1: who are you going with for your home run call tonight?
Speaker 1: Who's going yard mayor?
Speaker 3: I wanted to keep going, keep it going with Mike's
Speaker 3: and do like another Mike trap, but I was like,
Speaker 3: looking at the slave, there's there's just not enough Mike's
Speaker 3: or Michael's in baseball. I had to consider stretching it
Speaker 3: to Mike hal Franco.
Speaker 2: I didn't like that.
Speaker 1: Well, gian Carlo Stanton used to be Mike Stanton, so
Speaker 1: you could have gone that round.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't pick yankee yankee guy and I.
Speaker 1: But this is business, not personal. I don't care if
Speaker 1: you like it. Is this why you hated the Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge things so much? If if Raphaeld Devers had given
Speaker 1: that ball to a kid or or a like, you know,
Speaker 1: signed all this stuff after that, would you feel differently
Speaker 1: about that moment or no? Because now Aaron Judge.
Speaker 3: I didn't like it because it was Yankees. I definitely contributed,
Speaker 3: but I hated how much we were talking about it.
Speaker 2: When it happens every day. This happens every day, Like,
Speaker 2: why are we still talking about it four days later?
Speaker 1: So I'm going action because he was like so like
Speaker 1: immediately hugged the guy, and he was.
Speaker 2: Very you know Overwels, who cares.
Speaker 1: Like the scarface of Fantasy Baseball. You're like like Mayor,
Speaker 1: all right, Mike Mayor. So you couldn't pick a mic,
Speaker 1: So no magic mics for Mike Mayor. So what are
Speaker 1: you gonna go instead?
Speaker 3: You got doctor, said Mike's And you know I did.
Speaker 3: I did consider that one, but I didn't like his matchup.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go complete opposite of Mike. I'm going
Speaker 3: with Tye France.
Speaker 1: Okay, I realized that was the complete opposite.
Speaker 2: Of a mic.
Speaker 1: Also, real quick, we got one more question. Here is
Speaker 1: Sheldon Noisy Worth holding? That's from Jeremy. You want to
Speaker 1: hold onto Noisy? I mean he's got a job. I
Speaker 1: would hold onto him.
Speaker 3: No I had reached out on Twitter like I forget
Speaker 3: these act players, but it was like much better players
Speaker 3: than the waiver wire.
Speaker 2: And they're like, who should I drop?
Speaker 3: And they just showed me a screench out of like
Speaker 3: fifteen players that was like noisy and they're like, I
Speaker 3: just picked them up.
Speaker 1: Well, sure don't care in attend team league? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I could certainly understand.
Speaker 2: Answer is the answer regardless of when you picked them up.
Speaker 1: All right, final thoughts I tread carefully here, But Mike
Speaker 1: Mayor any final thoughts for today before we close out things? No,
Speaker 1: no thanks old school Dan Harris giving me no and
Speaker 1: then giving You can say no and then say something
Speaker 1: like Dan used to or no.
