Speaker 1: Another near no no. Let's play ball. Welcome in, everybody
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Closed. This is leading off, brought to you
Speaker 1: by bet MGM, the King of sports Books. It's me,
Speaker 1: Joey Pa joe Piece Appea with me. Today is the Welsh,
Speaker 1: and of course it's you, the Peanuts, the cracker Jacks,
Speaker 1: the Randos as some of you like to call yourselves nowadays.
Speaker 1: But I think that's like day three of this is
Speaker 1: kind of old already. So it was funny for like
Speaker 1: the first day, maybe two, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: just yeah, it'll have it te again.
Speaker 2: Though, don't worry, it'll come back like it'll it'll make
Speaker 2: it come back like next week or something. Everyone will
Speaker 2: love it again.
Speaker 1: Here you go. And speaking of loving it, let's get
Speaker 1: to some baseball. Let's get to some news, and we'll start,
Speaker 1: of course with another near no no, so close to
Speaker 1: the near no nos. Oh my goodness, Welsh. This time
Speaker 1: it was Tyler Anderson. Two outs come so close, so close,
Speaker 1: only to fade away. And it's funny, how I remember.
Speaker 1: I think it was ninety one was the year. I
Speaker 1: want to say, it could be wrong where we have
Speaker 1: seven no hitters or something crazy like that, like every
Speaker 1: day you woke up there was another no hitter. It's
Speaker 1: just fascinating that we are getting so many of them,
Speaker 1: or those close no hitters, because people don't change their
Speaker 1: approach with two strikes. People don't alter what they're trying
Speaker 1: to do. They don't try to just get on base.
Speaker 1: It's a different game. So therefore these types of outings
Speaker 1: I feel like, are certainly more more teams are more susceptible,
Speaker 1: and offense is more susceptible to being no hit.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you what is your definition of an
Speaker 2: almost no hitter? Is it going into the ninth? Is
Speaker 2: it going eight innings? Is it going seven in?
Speaker 1: I think ninth, ninth is ninth? Is you got close?
Speaker 1: That was you were right there? Because that seems like
Speaker 1: you get to the ninth hitting. I think that's it.
Speaker 2: I asked Bogmin about that because I feel like this
Speaker 2: is becoming the season of almost no hitters.
Speaker 3: Maybe you could also.
Speaker 2: Throw in guys that are pulled, you know, that have
Speaker 2: a no hitter and pulled in six that's kind of
Speaker 2: like a missed opportunity, and then guy that lose it
Speaker 2: in the eighth. It feels like a lot of close
Speaker 2: opportunities this season and back to back nights. That's fun.
Speaker 3: That's fun.
Speaker 1: Well, our boy JP was having fun. He got Tyler
Speaker 1: Anderson in a waiver wire claim yesterday, so I hope
Speaker 1: you started him. Yeah, that's if you did. It was
Speaker 1: probably a good night for you. Also good night for
Speaker 1: Spencer Stryder. Ooh fourteen baby, and you were all over that. Well,
Speaker 1: she loved the Strider yesterday.
Speaker 2: So well, well, Joe, I love Strider in general. Maybe
Speaker 2: you heard me say I liked the under six and
Speaker 2: a half strikeouts, but it was the sixteen and a
Speaker 2: half strikeouts show.
Speaker 3: It's actually sixty.
Speaker 2: I liked him at sixteen.
Speaker 1: Un what it was?
Speaker 3: What it was?
Speaker 2: I love Strider and I've been here's the problem. I've
Speaker 2: been wanting to say that I want to take it
Speaker 2: every single game. So of course the first time I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'll take the under. He had had only hit it twice,
Speaker 2: he got one hundred and twenty pitches, like they let
Speaker 2: him completely go, right, So now it is team Strider
Speaker 2: full force.
Speaker 1: And how long is a forced last? You know, because
Speaker 1: he is a younger pitcher, he was a guy pitching
Speaker 1: out of the bullpen. So do you believe this is
Speaker 1: a guy you can you could start and be happy
Speaker 1: about and confident in for the next two months. Or
Speaker 1: do you think this is a guy that could take
Speaker 1: you all the way to the end of the wire.
Speaker 2: Here, I think he could take you to the end
Speaker 2: of the wire. The problem could be is they could
Speaker 2: easily switch him. They could throw him back into that
Speaker 2: like leveraged reliever role. But he's a strikeout magnet and
Speaker 2: he's really finding his rhythm. I asked a question on
Speaker 2: in this league a couple of weeks ago Strider versus Ashby.
Speaker 3: People lost their mind. They're just like, oh, how could
Speaker 3: you ask this?
Speaker 1: How could just be a.
Speaker 2: Oh look at the question, Look at it now. It's
Speaker 2: because of Strider and his strikeout ability. That's exactly why
Speaker 2: you asked that question. So yes, if if he continued starting,
Speaker 2: he's got like a mid two era strikeouts through the roof.
Speaker 3: He threw it.
Speaker 2: Had eleven last night. Is a huge performance. This is
Speaker 2: the type of guy and he keeps it up, he
Speaker 2: can get into that McClanahan territory where he is a
Speaker 2: must play from k props. Moving forward to the rest
Speaker 2: of the year.
Speaker 1: Now here's a question for you too. If Soroka comes back,
Speaker 1: is that gonna be the guy that bumps him out
Speaker 1: of rotation.
Speaker 2: I would be shocked if they just let Soroka like go.
Speaker 2: I would imagine Soroka has got to be babied. Now
Speaker 2: here's the thing. They could piggyback. You know, we talked
Speaker 2: a lot about piggybacks. They would make sense as a piggyback.
Speaker 2: Don't go nuts with Strider, and you know, maybe make
Speaker 2: those two be a seven inning guy. But if Soroka
Speaker 2: were to start and Stryder were to be your inning four, five, six,
Speaker 2: and seven, he gets the win. And in four innings
Speaker 2: a guy can strike out eight. So if it's at
Speaker 2: this point five and a half strikeouts, you always are
Speaker 2: gonna bet the overend Strider.
Speaker 3: That's just what you should do six and a half.
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna cherry pick the bad strikeout teams, but
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hope the Strider is gonna be able to
Speaker 2: maintain this because he has looked phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Manny Machado also look phenomenal. More on him a little
Speaker 1: later in this show, but he did it. A home
Speaker 1: run drove in four yesterday against the Cubs. Ooh boy,
Speaker 1: the Cubbies. Things are not going well there for the
Speaker 1: Cubs and many. Machado certainly on another hot streak himself.
Speaker 1: I'm at Rosario at a home run, scored four runs.
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty yield four runs, two earned in his first return.
Speaker 1: So there you go, Jack Flaherty back. Very exciting for
Speaker 1: fantasy owners everywhere. Adley Rutchman finally got the big one off.
Speaker 1: He got the big home run his first. Congratulations ad
Speaker 1: Lee Rutchman, Good for you kid, touch them all. Hopefully
Speaker 1: he hits many more. Ryan Mountcastle also went deep twice,
Speaker 1: but Mike maher did not pick him, so I'm not sure, Like, like,
Speaker 1: what happens then?
Speaker 2: Does Castle really hit a homer if Mike Mahyer doesn't
Speaker 2: choose him in the contest.
Speaker 1: It's a good philosophical question to ask. I think that's
Speaker 1: part of it, And I think the other part of
Speaker 1: it is I almost always feel like Mike Mahor is
Speaker 1: just in his basement writing the letter, like in the
Speaker 1: eminem video where he's just like talking to him. Is like,
Speaker 1: you hit a home run the other day. You know
Speaker 1: I didn't pick you. What's up with that? You know?
Speaker 3: Ryan?
Speaker 2: I saw you hit that Homer was flying.
Speaker 1: I was really excited for all the it's not seeing
Speaker 1: you when you hit balls without me, you make me
Speaker 1: feel like a little bitch.
Speaker 3: Uh not whatever.
Speaker 1: Raphael Devers also a home in his fourth straight game,
Speaker 1: So Devers has been red hot as well. Some injuries
Speaker 1: though to deal with. There always is something good. Some bad.
Speaker 1: We had were you who underwent his surgery, so that
Speaker 1: happened pretty quickly, and then Andrew Heaney looks like he
Speaker 1: could return on Sunday for the Dodgers. A question about
Speaker 1: Heeni if he's out there in the waiver wire, you're
Speaker 1: adding him and how many starts before you want to
Speaker 1: throw him into a lineup if you have the if
Speaker 1: you have the ability to wait, let's just say, I
Speaker 1: know some people don't have the ability. They're just grabbing
Speaker 1: its straws. When it comes to Andrew, Hey, how many
Speaker 1: good starts do you need before you feel confident?
Speaker 3: Just one? He was really Oh yeah, he was a
Speaker 3: beast to start the year.
Speaker 2: It was one of those things where we saw Hemi
Speaker 2: and we were just like, oh my gosh, is this
Speaker 2: actually happening?
Speaker 3: And he's gone. That's what we did.
Speaker 2: He had a little over I know, it was actually
Speaker 2: almost close to a fourteen k per nine didn't give
Speaker 2: up earned run. His ex fip was sitting in the twos.
Speaker 2: Wasn't walking guys at a crazy clip. It was only
Speaker 2: over those two games. There's an argument to be had
Speaker 2: that pending the matchup, I might just throw him back
Speaker 2: out there, but you always should be cautious about guys
Speaker 2: in their first start back and not really worry about it.
Speaker 2: A lot of flairty I would give him one and
Speaker 2: then I would get him back out there because he
Speaker 2: was a strikeout machine. The Dodgers of obviously they've got
Speaker 2: something going down where revived careers of Tyler Anderson. Gonsolin
Speaker 2: looks like an ace at this point, and Keeney was
Speaker 2: this was those guys before he got hurt. He was
Speaker 2: the first of this entire crew that looked like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, he might be completely career revived in LA. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: is dominate is a strikeout guy?
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 2: I'd love to see him come back and show more
Speaker 2: of that, and then he's a must start. He's not
Speaker 2: a streaming guy. He's a must start moving forward as
Speaker 2: long as this injury isn't isn't lingering, Yeah, that's for sure,
Speaker 2: must actually sitting out.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's still rostered him leagues, but I mean,
Speaker 1: I wonder what that percentage is. I mean, my guess
Speaker 1: is he's probably available still in like thirty five percent
Speaker 1: of league something like that.
Speaker 2: My guess, Yeah, Well, you're going on McK it out
Speaker 2: like CBS if I can, if I can find his
Speaker 2: Rochester percentage.
Speaker 1: Here's a good question too, and we'll get some more
Speaker 1: of the injuries. Brank Cox wants to know would you
Speaker 1: rather have Buxton or Spring arrest of season? For me,
Speaker 1: this is an interesting one. I get where you're coming from.
Speaker 1: In a points league, I want Springer because I can
Speaker 1: I find it more dependable in that sort of format.
Speaker 1: But if it's Rodo, then I'm gonna roll the dice
Speaker 1: with Bucks, and both these guys are always injury risks. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'll be Bucks in the king of injury risk. But
Speaker 1: that's how I I mean, I think I take the
Speaker 1: risk in Roto because of the stolen bases and they're hard
Speaker 1: to find. But Welsh, is it just blanket Buxton for you?
Speaker 1: As usual? With Yo Binki, Let's give me a break.
Speaker 3: Care what are we talking about? Yeah, it's Buxton out.
Speaker 1: Mike Mayer is singing the dido part of that song
Speaker 1: right now. If you didn't like the video right directly
Speaker 1: after the Ryan Mountcastle rap, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: question or choices, no wondering why. Yeah, it's good Starling
Speaker 1: Marte day to day with a risk contusion. Kevin Kiirmeira
Speaker 1: leaves the game with an achilles injury. Jordan Hicks, though,
Speaker 1: ready for rehab assignment with that four arm issue. So
Speaker 1: that's good news for the Cardinals, getting another picture back.
Speaker 1: So the Cardinals, you know, making their push, getting Flawery back,
Speaker 1: getting Hicks back, getting healthy. It's real good. Speaking of healthy,
Speaker 1: can we go again?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we got heiny if you want it?
Speaker 1: What's your Oh yeah yeah?
Speaker 3: What do you? What do you guess his roster percentages?
Speaker 1: I think he's rostered probably in sixty five percent of leaks, pretty.
Speaker 2: Close seventy five percent of leaks in as CBS's format.
Speaker 2: So what that'll probably mean is like Yahoo, I bet
Speaker 2: it's closer to fifty ESPN probably forty. My favorite stat
Speaker 2: is that it is three percent started. Still, Dear Ryan,
Speaker 2: I wrote you, but you still ain't calling. I left
Speaker 2: my cell pager in my home phone at the bottom.
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, my rap's better.
Speaker 3: We're doing the whole h.
Speaker 1: All right, Can we talk about this? At twenty nine
Speaker 1: years old, Maddy Machado joins MLB Royalty. He's got fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred hits, two hundred and fifty homers. The list of
Speaker 1: players in this company is staggering. Manny Machado, Miguel Cabrera,
Speaker 1: Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Junior, Eddie Murray, Ron Santo,
Speaker 1: Orlando Sepeda, Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron, Eddie Matthews, Mickey Manto,
Speaker 1: Willie May's Male, Jamie Fox, lou gerrig and Andrew Jones.
Speaker 1: Andrew Jones is the only guy who's not in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame in that group. That's pretty stunning. And
Speaker 1: I think Andrew Jones is a Hall of Famer with
Speaker 1: of the best center fielders I've ever seen, so I
Speaker 1: have no problem with him ever getting in. But wow,
Speaker 1: that is That.
Speaker 2: Is team one hundred hits and two hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: homers before the age of thirty. That list Andrew Jones
Speaker 2: is an absolute travesty. And I just want to point out.
Speaker 2: His son is probably is probably the best baseball player.
Speaker 3: In this upcoming draft.
Speaker 2: A little could go number one unless the Orioles are
Speaker 2: going to go cheap, and then he would come to
Speaker 2: my Arizona Diamondbacks. Drew Jones is a phenomenal, ridiculous talent.
Speaker 2: Andrew j should be in the Hall of Fame. It
Speaker 2: makes me sick, But that is an insane list of guys.
Speaker 2: You know, I rag on these like weird, like, hey,
Speaker 2: we put everything together and we're going to create this
Speaker 2: little fun stat But when you see these, when they're
Speaker 2: attached to like insane names with this type of scope, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm in like this ridiculous list.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. And these are all the guys before thirty.
Speaker 1: Every single one of them is a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: We're talking all MLB greats. I mean, Ron Santo and
Speaker 1: Supaida maybe a little bit. I mean when you're dealing
Speaker 1: with the a Rod and Poohols and Cabrera Totals and
Speaker 1: the Frank Robinson and Mickey Manno, Willie Maze, Jimmy Fox,
Speaker 1: double x Lou Garritt names mean, it's stunning. So there's
Speaker 1: definitely a tier and there's another tier. But the Hall
Speaker 1: tier is Hall of Famers except for Andrew Jones, who
Speaker 1: again I think he should be. I'm curious if you
Speaker 1: think he's Andrew Joe. Let's put it to a little
Speaker 1: bit of a a little bit of a vote here,
Speaker 1: Andrew Jones Hall of Famer, Yes or no in the
Speaker 1: chat right now, Let's see how many people think yes
Speaker 1: or no for Andrew Jones if they had a vote
Speaker 1: where they've for him? And again, if you want to
Speaker 1: get in on this, subscribe to Fantasy Rose MLB, so
Speaker 1: you can drop that in the chat.
Speaker 2: I don't know real quick, I don't know if it
Speaker 2: matters for everybody. But he played seventeen years, just reminding,
Speaker 2: had just fell short of two thousand hits, four hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty four homers, so just short of the five hundred,
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty two stolen bases.
Speaker 1: Wait, how many homers did he have? Four hundred and
Speaker 1: how many?
Speaker 2: Four hundred and fifty two career homers? For fifty and
Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty eight of those came with Atlanta.
Speaker 2: He played for Atlanta for twelve years. This is probably
Speaker 2: one of the things that holds him back. Two fifty
Speaker 2: four career batting average, which was it was.
Speaker 3: The ops though OPS was eight.
Speaker 2: OPS was eight twenty three over his career.
Speaker 1: Above eight hundred. You got me listening. He did not
Speaker 1: have a stolen bases? Did he have?
Speaker 2: He had one hundred and fifty two so over seventeen years. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's so, that's a problem here. He hadn't hit two
Speaker 2: fifty since two thousand and six, which means he finished
Speaker 2: his final six years of his career hitting under two fifty.
Speaker 3: The guy was one of the more.
Speaker 2: Predominant defensive players in Major League Baseball history. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 2: for talking, like center field so incredible defender, pretty good,
Speaker 2: solid home run numbers. Hits are kind of there, but
Speaker 2: storm bases down, patting average down.
Speaker 1: I guess defense just matters for me. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: the same reason I Thinkkeithan Nandez should be in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. If you're the best defensive player your
Speaker 1: position every year for a decade and you hit as well,
Speaker 1: then I don't understand how you're not a Hall of Famer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's not a good center fielder. He is
Speaker 1: game changing centerfield. We were talking Jim Edmons should be
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame too.
Speaker 2: That's ten straight Gold Gloves from nineteen ninety eight to
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3: Ten straight.
Speaker 2: He also finished inside MVP Award inside the top three
Speaker 2: once and he made five All Star Games in his time.
Speaker 3: So just throwing it out there.
Speaker 1: See I keep saying Jim Edmonds for years two. I
Speaker 1: was appalled that he was wanted down the ballot because
Speaker 1: that I mean, he's got three hundred and ninety three homers. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he's got less homers, but career two to eighty
Speaker 1: four hitter, a career ops of note three, nine oh three,
Speaker 1: a career ops of nine o three, a two eighty
Speaker 1: four hitter, one of the best defensive first center fielders
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my entire life. And he was
Speaker 1: one and done on the ballot. It was absurd.
Speaker 3: Andrew Jones or Jim Edmonds by the way, Jim Jim Edmond.
Speaker 2: Jim Edmond's wife was on Real Housewives of Something and
Speaker 2: Jim Edmonds showed up.
Speaker 3: He wasn't great.
Speaker 2: He was He wasn't the coolest. It wasn't he wasn't
Speaker 2: a cool guy. He was a cool guy.
Speaker 1: Are you and Mayor watching that and d and talking
Speaker 1: about it in Slack yesterday. You guys watching the Real Housewives.
Speaker 3: You want to start the group?
Speaker 1: How did you end up seeing this?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: My wife watches it so like if I was like
Speaker 2: laying in bed, I would look over and then and
Speaker 2: you know, hey, listen, it's not the worst show to
Speaker 2: watch on mute.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Sometimes and uh, I see Jim Edmonds, it's like a
Speaker 2: little bit interested, and I was like, oh, Jim Edmonds
Speaker 2: not the coolest guy on the planet.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I mean he might be the coolest guy,
Speaker 1: but not not a good guy necessarily. It's not the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and nice. It's not the Hall of Nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true baseball.
Speaker 1: And once again, I just I'm appalled that you know,
Speaker 1: Ozzie Smith is automatically a Hall of Famer. He never
Speaker 1: hit for any power in his career. He's an amazing
Speaker 1: center for you, short stuff. I don't understand why we
Speaker 1: don't apply that to other positions, Like why doesn't that matter?
Speaker 1: Why does it only matter at short stop? Because he
Speaker 1: was fun to watch, because he played for the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: because he was at a fun nickname, and he did flips.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not fair, you know, I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you you're not wrong about the intangible stuff.
Speaker 3: I think what's funny is the.
Speaker 1: Gold gloves are what even Wonky says it. Ozzie Smith
Speaker 1: did backflips Joe. That's why they may come back.
Speaker 3: With the Andrew Jones just real quick.
Speaker 2: I think the problem is is the defensive prowess is
Speaker 2: being taken into this because if you just look at
Speaker 2: the stats, because you're not Hall of Fame war these
Speaker 2: stats alone, like under five hundred homers, not two thousand hits,
Speaker 2: a two fifty four career batting average, like I only
Speaker 2: hit over three hundred once in his entire career. The
Speaker 2: only reason we're still talking about him is because of
Speaker 2: the defense. So it is one of those things where
Speaker 2: I don't think we have to be like, man, why
Speaker 2: does the defense matter more?
Speaker 3: It really does.
Speaker 2: That's why we're still in this list. But I will say,
Speaker 2: you know, you look at the impact of the early
Speaker 2: part of his career. Good lord, he made that list
Speaker 2: of all those players. He just had a really not
Speaker 2: great fall. Maybe a bigger question could be this if
Speaker 2: he had ended his career five years earlier, or even
Speaker 2: cut it short. You know, thirty one thirty two and
Speaker 2: just had that short extent, you know, and went off
Speaker 2: into the wild Boo Yonder with all of those gold gloves.
Speaker 2: Would we give him the Treell Davis type of thing.
Speaker 2: It's a short career, but it was incredible.
Speaker 1: I always feel like those players, the players you don't
Speaker 1: see decline, you always have a different feeling for. But
Speaker 1: then I'm also the guy that looks at Paul Konerko
Speaker 1: stats over his career and go, look at this guy
Speaker 1: every year putting up incredible numbers thirty one hundred, like
Speaker 1: every year for a decade, and nobody seems to care
Speaker 1: about me. I don't get it. I don't get the
Speaker 1: criteria for the Hall of Fame. Everyone wants to make
Speaker 1: Joey Vaddo Hall of Fame. Paul Konerko's no, like, go
Speaker 1: look at Paul Canerko's every year stats and then go
Speaker 1: look at Joey Vado every season and then talk to me.
Speaker 1: Then talk to me, Paul Canerco, Team Canerco Meke Maher
Speaker 1: has been bothering me about this since last night. He
Speaker 1: put in the show sheet. Today he said, I didn't
Speaker 1: put anything in except this chosen this immaculate inning.
Speaker 3: Yes, I saw this.
Speaker 1: Why do I not care about this? I don't this
Speaker 1: is weird. I feel like I've become mayor here. I
Speaker 1: don't care about this. This is not interesting to me
Speaker 1: at all. It came against the same three hitters, so okay,
Speaker 1: that's quirky. But do you care about this? Is this
Speaker 1: interesting to you? You know?
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily care about it. But I did see
Speaker 2: a friend of mine, Joe Doyle from Prospects Live, he posted.
Speaker 2: He posted that I think they said the odds of
Speaker 2: having an immaculate inning are one and forty thousand, and
Speaker 2: then the odds of I mean, I think he was
Speaker 2: just throwing out math numbers here, but he was saying, like,
Speaker 2: the odds of having back up to having two immaculate
Speaker 2: innings in one game was like one in two one
Speaker 2: point something billion, so the odds of two immaculate innings
Speaker 2: happening were almost to none, so the odds of it
Speaker 2: first happening is pretty incredible. I think they said one
Speaker 2: ten thousand was like a no hitter, so it is
Speaker 2: special in its feet. But I do also agree, like
Speaker 2: I don't care about.
Speaker 1: This is interesting. The chat's gotten real hot here. This
Speaker 1: is really good and this is why I love our
Speaker 1: people here. Now, Wonkee's saying, Jack Morris is in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, So it means nothing. One game does
Speaker 1: not a Hall of Famer make. Jack Morris was the
Speaker 1: best pitcher in the eighties for the most part in
Speaker 1: terms of pitching and winning games when that was the standard,
Speaker 1: which is just figure out a way to win Jack.
Speaker 1: So Jack will go out there with a five, six
Speaker 1: run lead, and he would just love people hit balls
Speaker 1: and just you would just go throw nine innings and
Speaker 1: let people hit balls. He didn't care. It was before
Speaker 1: the metrics really entered in. It was that last era
Speaker 1: before metrics really mattered, where they just judge you on wins.
Speaker 1: Are you winning games? Are you going deep into games?
Speaker 1: Are you given innings? That's all I cared about. And
Speaker 1: you know what, Jack Morris showed up in a lot
Speaker 1: of big games. He showed up in big games for
Speaker 1: the Twinkies, he showed up in big games for the Tigers. Okay,
Speaker 1: Jack Morris was a winning pitcher. Jack Morris is a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer too. Carrot Wonkey says.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, I mean, here's a hot take. I
Speaker 2: could also say, I don't care who's in the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame.
Speaker 3: I don't care. I love this.
Speaker 1: He had only two hundred and fifour wins, two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty four wins. No one's gonna smell two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty wins in the next twenty five years of
Speaker 1: baseball wherever again Twitter, fifty wins? Uh Okay, this was
Speaker 1: in big font so I had to talk about this.
Speaker 1: Yankees thirty games over, five hundred and thirty was big.
Speaker 1: I just copy and pasted it, but I didn't copy
Speaker 1: it as plain piece, as plain text, which just came
Speaker 1: up the way it was on the whatever site When
Speaker 1: I saw it or whoever Twitter thing was like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at that thirty games over. But still can we
Speaker 1: talk about it? Thirty games over? That's an impressive. Look.
Speaker 1: The Yankees are doing it here with Judge, They're doing
Speaker 1: it with the pitching. They're doing it with a closer
Speaker 1: than Holmes that they didn't think was going to be
Speaker 1: their closer. Got to give the Yankees' credit. They're getting
Speaker 1: it done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks to Judge, Thanks to Judge, and thanks to
Speaker 2: all the ancillary pieces. I mean, you have a you
Speaker 2: have a rotation. What was it coming into like mid
Speaker 2: May where your worst era starter was getting cole of
Speaker 2: all your yeah, right, you're gonna walk into a good
Speaker 2: amount of wins.
Speaker 3: Clay Homes.
Speaker 2: This is I was also hyper aggressive on homes regardless
Speaker 2: of what's going on with Chapman, because I really you
Speaker 2: think he should continue being the closer, and your offense
Speaker 2: is clicking, all of it working very very well, and
Speaker 2: the Yankees are a problem.
Speaker 1: On this day in baseball, in nineteen ninety three, Ken
Speaker 1: Griffy Junior hits his one hundredth career home run, and
Speaker 1: he becomes a fourth youngest in Major League Baseball history
Speaker 1: to hit that mark, only Melott, Eddie Matthews, and Tony Canigliero.
Speaker 1: Tony C from the Boston Red Sox, which is one
Speaker 1: of the crazy stories. I mean, even though that Tony
Speaker 1: C story, you know, this bright shining young player coming
Speaker 1: up the same time, you know, as like the Estremkees
Speaker 1: of the world, and it's Yastremski and it's Kinigli Arrow
Speaker 1: and he's a local kid and he gets hit in
Speaker 1: the eye, loses vision in the eye, eventually does come back,
Speaker 1: has one glorious season, and then has to retire because
Speaker 1: he just can't see anymore? Just a crazy story. Man.
Speaker 1: If you don't know that story, do check it out
Speaker 1: if you're a newer baseball fan. But once again, you
Speaker 1: know talking about young guys hitting the hundred mark. So
Speaker 1: I'm questioned to you, and I'll put this to the Pienza,
Speaker 1: the Cracker Jackson, the chat too. Who's next? Who's next
Speaker 1: to hit that grouping of the fastest two one hundred
Speaker 1: home runs? So who's going to be in that grouping?
Speaker 1: Is it a guy like Julio Rodriguez? You think ye, that.
Speaker 2: Guy that was on my list, Julio Rodriguez, Yes, sir, Yes.
Speaker 1: Or anybody else in the minor leagues right now, or
Speaker 1: anybody else coming up in baseball. If you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that guy's got a shot at.
Speaker 2: It, well, I mean I get the reason like Julio
Speaker 2: immediately jumps to that list is because he's a little
Speaker 2: bit more of a prolific power hitter and he's really
Speaker 2: really young. Sure there are guys Jordan Walker would be
Speaker 2: one of those guys with the Cardinals if he gets
Speaker 2: a call up soon. He's twenty years old, already at
Speaker 2: double A, just absolutely mashing.
Speaker 3: That would probably be the bit.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't want to more. We could
Speaker 2: go a jillion miles across. But if you're looking at
Speaker 2: young players who are really going to continuously hitting homers,
Speaker 2: Jordan Walker would be the first person.
Speaker 3: That pops my mind.
Speaker 2: But I'm very much in on Julio getting this because
Speaker 2: young dude already stashing homer's, not being sent down, not
Speaker 2: hitting the bumps like Adele and Keln. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: we'll be talking about this as Willis Rodriguez and in
Speaker 2: a few.
Speaker 1: Years kellixive he gets a hundred hits in the Major League,
Speaker 1: he hits one hundreds. Now let's get to the stat heroes.
Speaker 1: Tyler Anderson top to that board. Eight k's almost a
Speaker 1: no hitter, eight and a third innings, one earned run.
Speaker 1: Zach Gallon bounced back after a rocky start last time.
Speaker 1: Five k's two earned over seven innings, Kyle Gibson eight innings,
Speaker 1: one earned, six K. Spencer Stryder with the eleven k's
Speaker 1: magnificent over five and two thirds but still eleven k's.
Speaker 1: You'll take it. Jose Burrios good again. So man, the
Speaker 1: jeckal hide of Jose Berrios has got to be just
Speaker 1: I wonder how many people who have this guy on
Speaker 1: their team, have sat him for good start, started him
Speaker 1: for bad ones, and just hate their life. Would you
Speaker 1: go out there and trade for Jose Barrios right now?
Speaker 1: See here's because of people being frustrated with him and
Speaker 1: just not like just being just at their wits end, you.
Speaker 2: Know, it's frustrated and had some discount. I don't really
Speaker 2: pretendicularly loved the wave riding pitchers. I think there's like
Speaker 2: a lot of people at the beginning of the year
Speaker 2: were like, Okay, hey, Briosa is struggling, don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: We'll get through this.
Speaker 2: Like I don't really like those pitchers, So I don't know,
Speaker 2: regardless of how great he is, that I would go
Speaker 2: and acquire him, because I'll bet you right now you're
Speaker 2: looking at kind of high costs, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, perhaps Louis Garcia nine k's six innings pitch one
Speaker 1: earned great Star from Garcia. Corbyn Burns blow out of
Speaker 1: the Mets yesterday eight k's no walks to earn six k's.
Speaker 1: I didn't have to watch youo mention of the Mets
Speaker 1: game yesterday, So the kids and I just watched Master
Speaker 1: Chef instead. Because the Mets game was not really watchable
Speaker 1: if you were rooting for the Mets. Shane mcclanahan's seven k's,
Speaker 1: six innings, one earned run, so Shane was good as well.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately did not get the decision in that one despite
Speaker 1: pitching well hitters. Yo on Mankata boy, I don't remember
Speaker 1: the last time he was on this list. Positively five
Speaker 1: for six at a home run, five ribbies. Jake Berger.
Speaker 1: I guess you know all that. Jake Berger wants to
Speaker 1: take your jobs, you know. Mandy Machado three for four
Speaker 1: with a home run, a mid Rosario three for five
Speaker 1: with a home run, four runs scored, en A Deeal,
Speaker 1: Austin Riley and only Austin Riley two home runs, three
Speaker 1: for five with four ribies. Vlad was four for five
Speaker 1: with a homer two he had a monster shot, Ryan
Speaker 1: Mountcastle the two brel Fara with a homer. Jose Bray,
Speaker 1: you had a nice day four for five also out
Speaker 1: of you saw because it was so hot there. They
Speaker 1: had Jose Bray who set himself up with a little
Speaker 1: tent that he made out of towels, which I thought
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. So used the gatorade thing put some
Speaker 1: of the towels around and kind of hung out there.
Speaker 1: I thought was pretty I like.
Speaker 2: The innovation of baseball players at all times. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: always my favorite.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you're sitting there, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of downtime. You know, this is part of the game.
Speaker 1: Brian Reynolds. Brian Reynolds siding two for three with a
Speaker 1: home run. And Luke Voight, who is actually the first
Speaker 1: guy I talked about in the waiver Wire video I
Speaker 1: just recorded. That should drop sometime later today or tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1: Luke Voight three for five with a homer. Over the
Speaker 1: last weekit in three hundred three of his eight home
Speaker 1: runs have come in the last seven games. Luke Foight's
Speaker 1: starting to look like Luke Boyd. Now. I know he's
Speaker 1: a streaky but he's available in almost fifty percent of
Speaker 1: formats in CBS. I think he's got it. You got
Speaker 1: to add him if he's floating around there, just even
Speaker 1: for no other reason to block somebody else, but he
Speaker 1: can help you. I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not the biggest Luke Voight fan, but we
Speaker 2: talked about like the hot bats, you go with the
Speaker 2: hot bats when you possibly can. I will say, though,
Speaker 2: you know, he is carried pretty heavy by that one
Speaker 2: bad month in May. He did hit two sixty two
Speaker 2: in June two seventy three, so that definitely is a
Speaker 2: heat up factor. His average doesn't represent what he's done
Speaker 2: over the last two months, and the homers are picking up.
Speaker 2: Strikeouts are still a massive problem, but you know, picked
Speaker 2: up offense, it's hard to disagree in like a twelve man.
Speaker 2: You could probably justify him as like a utel or
Speaker 2: a corner infield or deeper leagues.
Speaker 3: It's no doubt.
Speaker 2: I don't really see a I don't see a home
Speaker 2: for ten team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I mean Padre's offense come in to life
Speaker 1: a little bit right here with Machado and void Bruce Zimmerman.
Speaker 1: These are the Zeros. Six earned runs, eleven hits gross,
Speaker 1: Alex Fado seven earned runs fading him and Austin Go
Speaker 1: five earned. Caparellian five earned. We went and attacked him yesterday,
Speaker 1: Art Warren one third of an inning and four earned
Speaker 1: runs for Art. Art was not good. Here you go,
Speaker 1: here's your loser hitters. Keston Hera over four to three case. God,
Speaker 1: what a disappointment that guy's been. Aaron Hicks over three
Speaker 1: three K's all those Dynasty people who loved Keston. Here
Speaker 1: the next batting champion every year. My god, what a disappointment. Sorry, Kes,
Speaker 1: are you one of those guys?
Speaker 3: I loved Kess Oh. I saw him since his debut.
Speaker 1: What happened though?
Speaker 3: He interviewed him in the AFL like.
Speaker 1: I think he got home run happy and he just
Speaker 1: undid his swing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I actually completely agree with you.
Speaker 1: That's what I think happened.
Speaker 2: He had in the very first year he was dealing
Speaker 2: with this arm issue. When he came out, he was
Speaker 2: like the highest contact, you know, projected college back coming out.
Speaker 3: I remember talking with Jim.
Speaker 2: Kallis about this, and he had a lot less movement
Speaker 2: going on in his entire body and was just making
Speaker 2: solid contact. And then in the AFL he had this
Speaker 2: big high front leg kick and he was launching the
Speaker 2: ball up in there, and I remember I asked him
Speaker 2: if it was like, oh, you know, if you had
Speaker 2: an any concerted swing changes, and he just like no.
Speaker 2: I was like, well you clearly do you? Like, clearly
Speaker 2: do your your.
Speaker 3: Swing is more uppercut than it's ever been.
Speaker 2: And I saw him in his debut, but he didn't
Speaker 2: even really recognize it. It could have been one of those
Speaker 2: unconscious things, but it's definitely something in the you know. Also,
Speaker 2: you could look at the Brewers as a whole, like
Speaker 2: look at where Yelich has gone. You know, I don't
Speaker 2: know if let me tell you is translating.
Speaker 1: Let me let me tell you something, brother, I am
Speaker 1: not one for this whole firing of of hitting coaches.
Speaker 1: If there's one team in Major League base publisher fire
Speaker 1: their hitting coach and get a new voice in there,
Speaker 1: it's the Brewers.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: For a myriad of reasons, the last few years have
Speaker 1: been absolutely freaking horrible for the Brewers. Offensively, Christian Yelch's
Speaker 1: going in the wrong direction. Somebody fresh needs to come
Speaker 1: into that with a new perspective and attack these guys
Speaker 1: and say, look, man, what did you do that was working?
Speaker 1: Let's get back to that. You know, And I don't
Speaker 1: believe in that. I'm not like to me, the guy's hitting.
Speaker 1: He Ultimately that's the person's going to fail. But when
Speaker 1: you collectively have fallen off as an organization and you're
Speaker 1: not developing the prospects either, and you got guys like
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro come over and he's not hitting well, either
Speaker 1: something's off there, that's the kind of move you make,
Speaker 1: and I think that's where Nick and Stummach I don't
Speaker 1: disagree with that.
Speaker 2: I mean, Rowdy is well and Willia Domas was doing
Speaker 2: really good, but he was back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's really not.
Speaker 2: A good way to maintain these guys in their development,
Speaker 2: especially at the younger level. What you gotta worry about
Speaker 2: because I got a bunch of really good, interesting bat
Speaker 2: They have one of the hottest prospects in the entire
Speaker 2: world right now in Dynasty. If you guys care, Jackson Curio,
Speaker 2: Joey Weimer's coming soon.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit worrisome with how they.
Speaker 1: Developed it is. It's very worrisome. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: to the home run board, because somebody's at twenty Joey
Speaker 1: by number six. I'm coming for you, Larry, I'm right there.
Speaker 1: Niking in the North. Niking of the North has been
Speaker 1: at twenty one since I feel like May fifth. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure like he's been on. He's been at twenty
Speaker 1: one so long, unbelievable. You'll see here de Blum and
Speaker 1: title Chaser's still at twenty three. Cubbies at twenty two.
Speaker 1: Niking the Orth and Larrycy tied at twenty one, and
Speaker 1: I'm a twenty I'm coming up for that top four. Baby,
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go. And then Mike Mahyor and you
Speaker 1: know some other people are tied at nineteen. So there
Speaker 1: you go. So but Mike Mayor back on the board.
Speaker 1: So good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 2: Good job, buddy, doing great, sweetheart doing great?
Speaker 1: You go, Good for you. Oh Welsh, how come you're
Speaker 1: not on that?
Speaker 3: I'll never be on it.
Speaker 2: I'm trash.
Speaker 3: I'm worse than garbage.
Speaker 1: Wait, what are you up to? Are you on seventeen?
Speaker 1: Still you're stuck on seventeen?
Speaker 3: I know it probably worse, way worse.
Speaker 2: I'll never get another Homer again. I'm cold as ice.
Speaker 2: Don't listen to me.
Speaker 1: All right, Look, I didn't do it yesterday, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it today. Okay, Go Cards did not make
Speaker 1: the board. I don't make the board. Ethan makes the board.
Speaker 1: He's a hard working guy. I'm sorry he's not on
Speaker 1: the board. I'm going to recognize Go Cards as one
Speaker 1: of the nineteen people. In fact, i'd rather see Go
Speaker 1: Cards on there than Mike Mayor's name. So bring it
Speaker 1: up with Mike mahyor that's really the problem. Let's get
Speaker 1: to betting pros, and let's get to bet MGM, the
Speaker 1: King of sports books. Bet ten dollars win two hundred.

Speaker 1: Do it, it's good for you. Have some fun, and
Speaker 1: bet the over with Spencer Strider. Let's get to some
Speaker 1: of the props today. At Sugar Howse choey Otani six
Speaker 1: and a half k's. I like the over on that
Speaker 1: minus one oh four. You actually get a pretty goodnumber there.
Speaker 1: Xander Bogart's at bet MGM one and a half total
Speaker 1: bases at plus one five. Joe muscrove a FanDuel five
Speaker 1: and a half strikeouts BRO against the Cubs.
Speaker 2: BRO.
Speaker 1: This game's at two o'clock immediately after this show. Please
Speaker 1: go put money on this minus one forty eighth to
Speaker 1: the Jews. I don't care, put it in with something else.
Speaker 1: Kevin Gossman six and a half k's on DK. I
Speaker 1: like the over on that one too against Baltimore. So
Speaker 1: Musca at five and a half that's a smash.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm bro I'm browing with you for sure. That
Speaker 2: was the top one before I even looked at your board.
Speaker 2: Three straight games he's hit those k's. I am in
Speaker 2: with the Musgrove against the Cubs. I also like George
Speaker 2: Kirby five strikeouts Angels second most k's per game in
Speaker 2: the league right right now around nine. They're averaging over
Speaker 2: twelve over the last three games, so I.
Speaker 3: Might take advantage of that.
Speaker 2: And Raffield Evers total bases one and a half over
Speaker 2: because you hit hot all those homers.
Speaker 3: He's hot.
Speaker 2: It's a great total base number, and you know, might
Speaker 2: talk about him here in a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy, dude, because Judge getting all the attention,
Speaker 1: but Devers has been fantastic. I mean, all right, starting
Speaker 1: pitchers today over in the main slate tonight on DK
Speaker 1: you got seventy nine to four. You got Zach Wheeler
Speaker 1: at nine to six. Both are in play, but I
Speaker 1: preferre Zach Wheeler. It's a much better matchup. Just go
Speaker 1: that route your secondary arms there Showyotani's just eight point two.
Speaker 1: Or you could pick a side of the Mets game,
Speaker 1: which is Ashby at seven to one or title the
Speaker 1: Terrible at eight point six. I prefer Wheeler with Otani
Speaker 1: and then just make the offense work. Get the pictures
Speaker 1: right on DK tonight. I think you could do that,
Speaker 1: and that's the pairing. I think you're in good shape.
Speaker 1: A lot of strikeouts that we had there on both
Speaker 1: of those opponents there for Wheeler and Otani on the
Speaker 1: fan duel side, single pitcher, just best weird little lineup
Speaker 1: wins for me. That's the way I'm going tonight. So
Speaker 1: Tony's ten point two is a secondary arm. I love him.
Speaker 1: Ten point two is a lot more volatility. I think
Speaker 1: severn Rein is gonna be very heavily rostered, so I
Speaker 1: would fade away from him. And if you want to go,
Speaker 1: you know, in tournaments with somebody different, then you can
Speaker 1: go with Ashby at eight point two against the Mets
Speaker 1: offense right now, which is you know, could be without
Speaker 1: markte today possibly two, which brings us to our home
Speaker 1: run calls. And I'm just gonna let it ride with
Speaker 1: Manny Mo. Manny Machado making history theme of the show
Speaker 1: today certainly going to be the talk of the town.
Speaker 1: So Manny Machado, let's go and for you, Welsh, where
Speaker 1: are you going with your home run?
Speaker 2: I'm going to cool off Ralpheldevers by picking him and
Speaker 2: assuring he will not hit a homer tonight, but he
Speaker 2: will hit a double. So I love my I love
Speaker 2: my total base marker way more than my home run
Speaker 2: call because I do not call homers.
Speaker 1: Well, look, everybody gets on a heater. Eventually you'll get
Speaker 1: on the heater. I'm sure. Speaking of heaters, sure, Mike
Speaker 1: Mayer is so hot right now for Rehee Hoskins. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just like Hoskins every day. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: I heard, you know, maybe he's a little mad at
Speaker 1: Ryan Mountcastle hit a couple home runs yesterday didn't have him,
Speaker 1: so now he's just becoming the Reece Hoskins guy. I
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, he did go to Philly last
Speaker 1: week to watch a game with our our friend, and
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, well, maybe he just got
Speaker 1: a little heavily influenced there in the Philadelphia time. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what's going on, but it
Speaker 1: seems like every day Rheze Hoskins. So there you have it.
Speaker 1: So if you want to make a home run call,
Speaker 1: go into our discord chat again. We're giving away a
Speaker 1: prize for the month of June. I promise, though, if
Speaker 1: I have the most home runs in the month of June,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this a statement for the people, because
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've got a lot in June. So far,
Speaker 1: June's been pretty good to Joey p. If I'm the winner,
Speaker 1: I will pick out somebody that I think is deserving
Speaker 1: to win that shirt instead that is not me, So
Speaker 1: either the next person in home Runs or somebody's been
Speaker 1: in the chat every day, anybody but doctor Glenn. I
Speaker 1: will pick somebody, anybody, anyone's hashtag but do Yeah, well,

Speaker 1: probably knows off the top of his head. It's getting closer.
Speaker 1: It's got to be like seven and a half. We're
Speaker 1: in that range. Let's get to eight. I want to
