Speaker 1: little bit of an eclipse today. Are you are you
Speaker 1: of the like that like chaos is going to ensue
Speaker 1: or do you just want to like stand out with
Speaker 1: the minions and just watch the sun get blocked for
Speaker 1: like twelve seconds?
Speaker 2: No, I want, I want to watch it. It's it's
Speaker 2: a cool event.
Speaker 4: I'm you know, I'm in Texas now, so I'm like
Speaker 4: right in the path of it.
Speaker 3: So what do they call that? Don't they have a name?
Speaker 3: They're like it's like the path.
Speaker 2: Of yes, and it's where the rapture is somewhere.
Speaker 1: There's some think they have like a specific name for
Speaker 1: I'll get nothing to the eclipse path.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'll get nothing in Arizona.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 4: But rain, lots of rain on the horizon today, so
Speaker 4: there is a possibility to get.
Speaker 3: Rid event horizon. I think that's what's what it's called,
Speaker 3: like event horizon.
Speaker 2: The event horizon is a Sam Jackson hole.
Speaker 4: So uh but uh, but yeah, it's it's not an
Speaker 4: eclipse event. Horizon is for the black Hole. But uh yeah,
Speaker 4: the it won't. I'm just saying, you know, but it
Speaker 4: is going to be interesting. I'm excited about it. Hopefully
Speaker 4: it means that uh maybe will be reverse day and
Speaker 4: my bets will finally hit today.
Speaker 2: So that's what we're hoping for.
Speaker 3: That would be sweet.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get into all this stuff. Totality
Speaker 1: that is it. Go cards, got it? It is the
Speaker 1: path of totality. That is the name that it has
Speaker 1: been given. I'll have none of it today, but and
Speaker 1: I'll be in a meeting, so I won't be.
Speaker 3: Able to check it out.
Speaker 1: But I hope you guys all enjoy your path of
Speaker 1: Totality today and hopefully Joey is doing the same.
Speaker 4: Coming on movie, they move the Yankee game back because
Speaker 4: of it. I saw, yeah, you know, four hours, so
Speaker 4: it was gonna be weird.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: Here comes Aaron Judge up to bat and the whole
Speaker 4: stadium is dark.
Speaker 2: Look at that.
Speaker 1: I actually wish they would have done it, because then
Speaker 1: we could have had, like we could have just had
Speaker 1: like a whole season of weird anomalies, like I love
Speaker 1: that one where it was glabor Torres just batting through
Speaker 1: the earthquake. If you see that video where when the
Speaker 1: earthquake was going on, he was taking VP and he
Speaker 1: just never stopped. I just want, like disastrous events for
Speaker 1: players to just keep playing for We have the snow
Speaker 1: game the other day.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well remember it looked like the apocalypse when
Speaker 4: they had the wildfires near Oakland and everything was red
Speaker 4: in the background.
Speaker 2: That was crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do actually remember. But like I said, we
Speaker 3: get into the stuff.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Cody Rhodes and Joe who are best
Speaker 1: friends or whatever, and I know he's excited that the
Speaker 1: story is finished in WrestleMania and all the chaos that
Speaker 1: went on. We'll probably hear all about it tomorrow, as
Speaker 1: Joe went to both days.
Speaker 3: But let's talk about some baseball. They got some fantasy baseball.
Speaker 1: All your favorite pitchers are gone, all your favorite players
Speaker 1: are gone. Over the weekend since we last talk to you.
Speaker 1: I don't think we had all of these. We have
Speaker 1: some finality. We lost Spencer Strider, which is brutal. It's
Speaker 1: absolutely brutal. We lost Shane Bieber confirmed Shane Bieber, Tommy
Speaker 1: John not confirmed Tommy John for spencerider ucl injury. The
Speaker 1: other big injury and I'm throwing these all in here,
Speaker 1: is Luis Robert, because we now have about a three
Speaker 1: month timeline even potentially for with a severe hip flexer. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, how are you managing like is? I don't
Speaker 1: know if there's anything to take away. There's yea course
Speaker 1: about the pitching side and all these guys getting hurt.
Speaker 1: We lost Garrett Cole, Strider's going to be out. Strider's
Speaker 1: a cut at this point, he's probably it's probably inevitable
Speaker 1: to Tommy John. It's not worth hanging on to unless
Speaker 1: you've got I. L's Bieber is done. God knows what's
Speaker 1: going to go on with Cole, and then you throw
Speaker 1: on top of it lou Bob, which is going to
Speaker 1: be two to three months. And really there's even some
Speaker 1: discourse around like how much could or if for will
Speaker 1: he played all this season?
Speaker 3: With where the White Sox are.
Speaker 4: Heading, Yeah, I mean it doesn't look good for the
Speaker 4: White Sox. Crochet has been great, but other than that,
Speaker 4: you know, and they lost lou Bob and Eloy you know,
Speaker 4: not as severe obviously, but he just went on the
Speaker 4: IL as well. So you pull like the two best
Speaker 4: power bats out of that lineup and it was already
Speaker 4: bad and now it's really bad. So uh, it's a
Speaker 4: tough break in Strider too. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Something has to be done. Maybe they do need to
Speaker 4: scrap the pitch clock. I don't know, but you can't
Speaker 4: keep having star pitchers not playing full seasons or in
Speaker 4: crunch time when it matters the most or whatever. It
Speaker 4: is insane. You do you think it's Do you think
Speaker 4: it's about the pitch clock? Do you really truly?
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 4: I don't think that that's the cause, and know the
Speaker 4: MLBPA seem to think that that's the cause, and you
Speaker 4: know there is correlation. I have no idea if it
Speaker 4: is causation, but something needs to be fixed. We can't
Speaker 4: keep losing all these pitchers. But I mean they're not
Speaker 4: going to change it. You know, numbers are up and
Speaker 4: all that stuff. So I guess we just have to
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to switch back to six man rotations
Speaker 4: or seven man rotations or something like. They just then
Speaker 4: needs to be an adjustment so that we quit losing
Speaker 4: these pitchers. And no adjustment's going to you know, baseball
Speaker 4: is always the last to adjust, so none of that
Speaker 4: stuff is going to happen. It's going to take a
Speaker 4: while for teams to get creative or you know, pitchers
Speaker 4: coming up through the minor leagues will start to get
Speaker 4: used to it because this is the process. It's just
Speaker 4: not the process for the guys that have pitched already.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's part of it.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it's a solution. I think
Speaker 3: it's a perfect storm. I don't think it is one thing.
Speaker 1: I think everybody like I see like I think it's
Speaker 1: no go cards in here is like No, it's the
Speaker 1: pitch effort. It's the max pitch effort. And then there's
Speaker 1: some people it's the pitch clock. I think it's all
Speaker 1: other things. I don't think it is one specific thing.
Speaker 1: I think it is the combination of these ingredients that
Speaker 1: are creating an explosive injury.
Speaker 2: Bug.
Speaker 1: I think it is max effort with the way these
Speaker 1: guys are approaching even training, not just like from a
Speaker 1: max effort on the mound and the training, and then
Speaker 1: you take on pitch clock with you know, no ability
Speaker 1: to have any rest in between, or just I mean
Speaker 1: you take on top of it also pitch selection in
Speaker 1: the type of pitches I'm watching a lot of guys
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, how they're throwing and the certain
Speaker 1: type of pitches they're throwing and what it does to
Speaker 1: their arm. Tyler there's a great video of Tyler Glass
Speaker 1: now talking about how even pitch grip. There's the other
Speaker 1: one was like spidertack in the way that they're having
Speaker 1: to hold the ball causing I think so. I think
Speaker 1: it's a combination of all of these things. But as
Speaker 1: I'm gonna discuss in a trade video I've got coming up,
Speaker 1: which should be posted in the next like twenty four hours,
Speaker 1: is you I think you're gonna have two things that
Speaker 1: are gonna happen in your league. I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: have people that are going to grip as tight as
Speaker 1: they possibly can, like they don't have spidertack onto their
Speaker 1: starting pitchers in their league, and they will be so
Speaker 1: difficult to trade for.
Speaker 3: Or you're gonna have the inverse.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have teams and fantasy owners that are just
Speaker 1: going to be like whatever, I got to get off
Speaker 1: of these guys. I got to get off the top guys,
Speaker 1: and I got them be able to capitalize on two
Speaker 1: for ones and three for ones and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: And I don't really know exactly how to give the
Speaker 1: best advice because I think it literally leagues are going
Speaker 1: to be split like that. I don't think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of middle I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: grip hold tight to your starting pictures or be more
Speaker 1: willing to move.
Speaker 4: Them, which means not a lot changes, right Like, because
Speaker 4: you have half the crowd overreacting one way, half the
Speaker 4: crowd overreacting the other way, it's probably going to be
Speaker 4: about the same, which is why nothing changes.
Speaker 3: We got something has to change here. So you know, say,
Speaker 3: what what side are you on that? Are you going
Speaker 3: to hold tighter or do you want to move off
Speaker 3: of your start?
Speaker 2: I'm absolutely not.
Speaker 4: I don't know that I want to move off my starters,
Speaker 4: but I'm much more willing to trade them at this
Speaker 4: point because there's just all getting hurt.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm more willing to trade my pictures right now.
Speaker 1: Man, I think you might be right. I might be
Speaker 1: a little bit more like myself. Like you were saying, like,
Speaker 1: not a lot of changes, I think like the tippy top, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm not willing to trade as much.
Speaker 3: But you know, here's the funny thing.
Speaker 1: The guys that I love the most are the guys
Speaker 1: that I think are maybe a least susceptible to a
Speaker 1: lot of these injuries. Are these like command based pitchers.
Speaker 1: I love George Kirby, I love Logan web Like. I
Speaker 1: think those are the safety guys. Those are the guys
Speaker 1: that I want to go quiet, And luckily some of
Speaker 1: them are struggling right now, so they're a quie rable.
Speaker 1: So those would probably be the guys that I move.
Speaker 1: But I think, like middle line pitching, I'm willing to
Speaker 1: capitalize on Garrett Crochet, Jared Jones, guys that are popping.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're free and you should kind of hold tight
Speaker 1: to them filling out your roster. But if someone's willing
Speaker 1: to pay a king's ransom, it's something I would think about.
Speaker 1: Another one of those guys maybe that's starting to pop up,
Speaker 1: is Ronel Blanco, who was great again. He had another
Speaker 1: like five innings of no hit. He allowed one hit,
Speaker 1: four walks over six shutout innings. I think he went
Speaker 1: another five. He had just five swing and misses though
Speaker 1: ninety pitches CSW of twenty seven percent. It's okay, but
Speaker 1: he hasn't given up a run. He's got a point
Speaker 1: four to seven whip an eleven eleven to six k
Speaker 1: to walk Graasio up their fifteen innings. Do you think
Speaker 1: Ronel Blanco is the real deal?
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know that a guy with two
Speaker 4: really good starts at thirty in his first ten starts
Speaker 4: here at thirty, by the way, is the real deal.
Speaker 4: Holy Field, But he's on a nice hot streak. There
Speaker 4: are way worse things than rostering Ronel Blanco and having
Speaker 4: it blow up in your face. It's it's you know,
Speaker 4: everyone has been, you know, a victim of this. So yeah, Adam,
Speaker 4: pay up for him, keep him on your roster, and
Speaker 4: when he eventually tanks, like I'm sure you also think Welsh,
Speaker 4: then drop him.
Speaker 2: But ride the wave. He's on a heater right now,
Speaker 2: so I'll take it.
Speaker 1: Rank Garrett Crochet, Jared Jones and Ronel Blanco the way
Speaker 1: you said them, Jared Jones over Garret Crow Well, okay,
Speaker 1: are there tier differences?
Speaker 4: I would say Jones and Crochet and then a lot
Speaker 4: and then Blanco.
Speaker 3: Okay, I agree with that. I mean, are you heavy?
Speaker 3: You're heavy? Jared Jones over Garrett Crochet.
Speaker 4: Though I don't know that I'm heavy. I mean, I'm
Speaker 4: always heavy, but I don't know that I'm heavy. You know,
Speaker 4: Jones over Crochet, but I would say team contexts specifically
Speaker 4: with Roberts and Eloy going down. I like the Pirates
Speaker 4: way more than I like the White Sox right now,
Speaker 4: which is surprising to say but very true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Crochet's kind of tough because I think he's
Speaker 1: like insanely deceptive and I really love that combo that
Speaker 1: you know, slider fastball combo and how it's deceptive to
Speaker 1: the plate. But then he was just sitting around the
Speaker 1: plate and I was literally talking with someone. I'm like,
Speaker 1: my god, your Crochet is amazing. And then he ends
Speaker 1: up just being around the plate and gets beat up
Speaker 1: in an inning and that kind of ruined it a
Speaker 1: little bit. They Actually I was hoping they'd let him
Speaker 1: come back out because I had the k prop at
Speaker 1: five and a half over it finished at five because
Speaker 1: he was just a little bit, a little bit walky,
Speaker 1: a little bit all over the zone. But I think
Speaker 1: at this point Jared Jones has separated himself a little bit,
Speaker 1: and hey, listen, maybe I'll eat my words on that trade.
Speaker 1: The very first trade video where I put him in there.
Speaker 1: I did point out I think like maybe over time,
Speaker 1: you know, you give it a couple starts and you
Speaker 1: sell high, but maybe it'll never be a sell high.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's just gonna be awesome. Who is awesome?
Speaker 1: By the way, Choto Amanica tossed four scoreless innings against
Speaker 1: the Dodgers before the rain delay, which was stupid forty
Speaker 1: three pitches. He got those twelve outs. He was striking
Speaker 1: out guys again. Looks great, I am. He's one of
Speaker 1: my biggest movers in my Dynasty update that's coming up.
Speaker 3: He looks phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Box.
Speaker 4: He has looked great. And you know this this start
Speaker 4: shortened because of the rain. They had a rain delay
Speaker 4: in between, so they pulled him after four. But he
Speaker 4: he has looked amazing right this year. I also love
Speaker 4: how sloppy he looks out there. He looks like, you know,
Speaker 4: Skinny Bartolo a little bit. He's got the real loose jersey.
Speaker 4: It's unbuttoned too much. But he's just going out there
Speaker 4: firing bullets. So I love watching him Monica right now.
Speaker 4: I do think, as with a lot of guys that
Speaker 4: come over from overseas, you get this really red hot start,
Speaker 4: and then you get the league adjusting back on him.
Speaker 4: Is there any fee for you that that's gonna happen
Speaker 4: to Amnica like it has the guys in the past.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean it's definitely a thing to think about.
Speaker 1: That's kind of my thing with all these guys, and
Speaker 1: that's why I would pinpoint anybody that just absolutely explodes.
Speaker 3: It's like, the league's.
Speaker 1: Gonna catch up, and what is that guy gonna do
Speaker 1: when the league does catch up. That's my same argument
Speaker 1: to Jered Jones. It's my same argument to like Eric Crochet.
Speaker 1: The league is going to find those little tiny things
Speaker 1: and they're gonna start picking up. And how quick those
Speaker 1: changes happen and how that guy adjusts.
Speaker 3: Is going to be the key.
Speaker 1: Manica throws strikes, pounds of fastball, splitter, looks good. I
Speaker 1: don't know, like if you Okay Amanica or Bobby Miller
Speaker 1: rest of season. Bobby Miller just got absolutely lit in
Speaker 1: the second inning, but looks phenomenal.
Speaker 3: First, which one would you pick?
Speaker 2: Miller?
Speaker 3: And how big is the gap?
Speaker 2: Not enormous but decent?
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, team context to Bobby Miller on
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. So yeah, I mean it's still Bobby Miller
Speaker 4: for me. I like, uh, is it gonna screw it
Speaker 4: up again? It's Imanaga?
Speaker 2: Right yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh, man mean we're I can see the pronunciation. We're
Speaker 1: going through it again. I thought it was pronounced iman Yeah,
Speaker 1: it might be Imanaga. It is my biggest struggle bus.
Speaker 2: Thing, Managa.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, look, I think he's going to
Speaker 4: be good, but I do think, you know, there will
Speaker 4: be a readjustment, there will be a period where he's
Speaker 4: not so good. So yeah, give me, give me Bobby Miller.
Speaker 4: I'll I'll take him over Emanaga. But but it's that,
Speaker 4: I mean, it's much closer than it would have been
Speaker 4: obviously two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: So uh, it's right there. But yeah, still Bobby for me.
Speaker 1: A couple other pitching updates. Ryan Pepio six shutout innings
Speaker 1: and a win over the Rockies. Eleven strikeouts, give up
Speaker 1: just three hits, had a forty one rate, thirty nine
Speaker 1: percent CSW and he was pretty awesome. His fastball a
Speaker 1: fifty percent with rate.
Speaker 3: He was killer. We talked about Gara Crochet. He had
Speaker 3: a no decision in that one. He had fifteen swing
Speaker 3: and misses.
Speaker 1: That's really been kind of One of the biggest things
Speaker 1: about his game is the swing and missus and I
Speaker 1: like it. I liken that to like the deception. He
Speaker 1: had seven swing whiffs on the slider. He's a thirty
Speaker 1: six percent CSW He's point six whip on the year.
Speaker 3: He has been awesome. Couple.
Speaker 1: Uh, we're hopefully returning from injury soon, notes Bogs. Justin
Speaker 1: Verlander alound six earned runs, struck out six in a
Speaker 1: triple A startover in Sugarland. He had that rehab He's
Speaker 1: gonna have Oh do I did I have to.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that's how the Texans say. It's like Prescott,
Speaker 4: you know, sugar Prescott. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: I like Sugarland though. That makes me feel happier. I
Speaker 3: live in sugar Land a little bit more.
Speaker 1: He's got one more rehabs start and then he's popping
Speaker 1: back comfort level with Verlander when he comes back.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean, I'm very comfortable. Verlanter is such
Speaker 4: a vet. He's been through injuries and come back before.
Speaker 4: Uh you know, Uh, am I comfortable He's gonna throw
Speaker 4: a ton of innings. No, he's closer to our age
Speaker 4: than he is to a rookies age right, so yer
Speaker 4: than us?
Speaker 2: Is he older than us?
Speaker 3: I'll be my birthday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my birthdays in like two weeks, and I think
Speaker 1: he'll still be older than me.
Speaker 4: It's hilarious, like after Tom Brady retired, because I always
Speaker 4: do the date of birth for the football players. That
Speaker 4: was the last football player that was older than us.
Speaker 4: Now every single football player is younger.
Speaker 3: I think Verlander might be it.
Speaker 1: I think, man, that's gonna that might be my midlife
Speaker 1: crisis is accepting that I'm now older than all the
Speaker 1: baseball players. I didn't think that they was coming anytime soon.
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's he's outstanding, so uh and he's been
Speaker 4: through this before.
Speaker 2: I think we can trust him. Obviously.
Speaker 4: Do I trust him to stay healthy the whole year, No,
Speaker 4: but to come back at the appropriate time. I think
Speaker 4: he knows his body, so yeah, I'm very comfortable with
Speaker 4: for Lander coming back.
Speaker 1: Oh, Box, you are a month older than Justin Early,
Speaker 1: you are older.
Speaker 3: I am younger. I am the young guy.
Speaker 4: Here for Justin Verlander only a couple World series and
Speaker 4: Cy Young's. He's married to Kate Upton and has a
Speaker 4: giant contract. Maybe someday it'll all come together for him huh.
Speaker 3: Glad you said. Contract.
Speaker 1: A couple of the other quick notes here, Nikoladolo struggled
Speaker 1: in his rehab start and triple A gave up four runs,
Speaker 1: five hits, and two and two thirds. Eh, but he
Speaker 1: is expected to be joining the Reds rotation soon. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna throw him right back out there,
Speaker 1: so just be mindful of that. A couple questions real quick,
Speaker 1: I want to hit before we if I can find
Speaker 1: the stream yard again, if I can, before we move
Speaker 1: on to all the stuff here, Lucas said, do I
Speaker 1: still hold Camonaro?
Speaker 3: Who is still on the il bogs?
Speaker 1: I've been I got kind of roasted for this in
Speaker 1: the chat the other day when I was like, listen,
Speaker 1: I think you can in small bench stuff.
Speaker 3: I kind of think you can move on, like if
Speaker 3: you can hold hold. But I don't know if I
Speaker 3: want to hold.
Speaker 1: I think it's like a month before he comes back
Speaker 1: to the majors, so that's kind of you know, that's
Speaker 1: your choice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it really is about how big the
Speaker 4: benches and how often do you sub in guys?
Speaker 2: Are you day? Are you weekly?
Speaker 4: You know, the longer you can hold, the more I
Speaker 4: would suggest it, But if you need that spot, yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean free it up and add someone actually in
Speaker 4: the majors on your rosters. So that has to be
Speaker 4: a personal decision, obviously, but I think for the most part,
Speaker 4: I'm trying to hold him if I can. We'st supportive though,
Speaker 4: of whatever do we are you want to Yeah, whatever
Speaker 4: you want to make? Yeah, Sabo sell Imanaga for Holiday
Speaker 4: Jackson Holiday in Dynasty, Yes.
Speaker 3: For this season.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's actually to I couldn't do that
Speaker 1: right now because I think I think Imana at worst
Speaker 1: has got like a two month really good run coming
Speaker 1: up here. I really don't know what's gonna happen when
Speaker 1: the league does catch up, and I think Holiday, when
Speaker 1: he comes up, which I think is gonna be very soon,
Speaker 1: is going to be solid.
Speaker 3: I don't think I could do that in Redraft. Dynasty.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Yeah, Dynasty, it's a no brainer. I would say
Speaker 4: for Redraft, it's tough. If the rest of your pitching
Speaker 4: staff is really good, I would sell him Managa, But
Speaker 4: if your staff is questionable, you have the injuries that
Speaker 4: have been happening and stuff, hold him. But uh, yeah,
Speaker 4: I want Holiday. I mean Holiday is going to be
Speaker 4: a stud So if I can get him, I want
Speaker 4: to go Managa E Managa, there you go.
Speaker 2: You'll never forget it.
Speaker 3: Now, w NBC.
Speaker 1: Actually I need like the scared straight with like the
Speaker 1: guards coming in and they just grab me and they'll
Speaker 1: just be like and.
Speaker 3: I just I just I need like a crash course,
Speaker 3: like I'm like, oh my god, okay, it's I Monaga,
Speaker 3: Like I just need something like I'm gonna send cousin
Speaker 3: Donnie over to your house to wake you up every
Speaker 3: morning saying.
Speaker 1: That's what I need to get up really early, last
Speaker 1: one and then we're gonna move on. Would you sell
Speaker 1: Ryan Peppio after that really good start?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think I would.
Speaker 4: I don't think you're gonna get enough back for Pepio
Speaker 4: right now, even after the good start to warrant selling him.
Speaker 3: So no, yeah, I think I uh agree with al Bagman.
Speaker 1: You know what time now one Bog and I have
Speaker 1: a long standing good joke. Somehow his cat feeder only
Speaker 1: goes off when he's on with me.
Speaker 3: It's it's really incredible. I don't even know how it happens.
Speaker 1: But it does to no end, and it actually it
Speaker 1: brings me quite a bitage joy, which I just can't help.
Speaker 1: You know what else brings me quite a bit of joy,

Speaker 3: I've also got some fun.
Speaker 1: There's season long stuff that they do as well that
Speaker 1: I have got rocking, and I'm excited to see how
Speaker 1: that ends up going real quick, because I have gone
Speaker 1: long on this show today. I have the trade video
Speaker 1: out that's going to be like I said, within the
Speaker 1: next twenty four hours, bunch of names. I think you
Speaker 1: guys should all check out one of the names on there.
Speaker 1: I want to get your quick take on this. Bogman
Speaker 1: is Junghu Lee, and that might surprise people because he
Speaker 1: has had.
Speaker 3: Really not great performance. I think he's hitting like around
Speaker 3: two hundred.
Speaker 1: This was as I was doing the video yesterday, but
Speaker 1: I presented this because this was actually like shocking to
Speaker 1: me going into Sunday.
Speaker 3: Jungle Lee was.
Speaker 1: Tied for the third most hard hit balls in baseball.
Speaker 1: He was tied with Kotel Marte. He had a fifty
Speaker 1: four percent hard hit rate, and he had an expected
Speaker 1: batting average because he was hitting like two hundred of
Speaker 1: two eighty three. And one of my big things about
Speaker 1: this is he is showing the underlining skill set of
Speaker 1: a player that actually might hit twenty homers. I thought
Speaker 1: he wouldn't hit double digits batting average runs. Giants are
Speaker 1: going to do some stuff. Homers might be there. Love
Speaker 1: to see him steal. I think Jung Hulee might be
Speaker 1: the most boring of boring buys right now in the
Speaker 1: trade video. And you loved him preseason, so quick tick
Speaker 1: on Jung Hulee.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like you said, he's been hitting the
Speaker 4: ball hard, it just hasn't been going his way. So
Speaker 4: I think when you see a guy like that, you
Speaker 4: know it's time to buy. So it is the perfect
Speaker 4: time to buy for Jung Hulee. Maybe he doesn't, you know,
Speaker 4: have an enormous power, but if you need batting average specifically,
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna end up getting it for you.
Speaker 4: So I think it's a great moved to make right now.
Speaker 4: If you can go get him.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: So go and check it out. You want to see
Speaker 1: all the breakdowns. I've got a bunch of players that
Speaker 1: you can buy on Jung Hu Lee as well as
Speaker 1: one of them, you know, might cost much of nothing,
Speaker 1: especially for the batting average side. A couple of little
Speaker 1: rookie lookie here Jackson Merrill four for four with a
Speaker 1: stolen base on Friday.
Speaker 3: He's starting to heat up. Don't let him heat up, man,
Speaker 3: Get a little bit of power, get a little bit
Speaker 3: of stolen bases.
Speaker 1: It still might end up being like fifteen fifteen, But oh,
Speaker 1: here's one Jackson Holiday or Jung Julee rest a season?
Speaker 4: Mmmm Lee, I think I have to because I know
Speaker 4: he's up right now, so I don't know when Jackson's
Speaker 4: coming up.
Speaker 3: No, Jackson, Merril, you heard Jackson said Jackson you said,
Speaker 3: Oh did I say Jackson?
Speaker 2: OK.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry Jackson Meyril four for four with a
Speaker 3: stolen base.
Speaker 4: My Ooh, that one's tough for. Gim me Meryl, give
Speaker 4: me the upside of Meryl. I think I think they're
Speaker 4: gonna move him up in the lineup, especially if he keeps,
Speaker 4: you know, doing this.
Speaker 2: So yeah, gimme gimme Meryl.
Speaker 1: I wish there weren't so many Jackson's, like Jackson Curio,
Speaker 1: Jackson Holiday, Jackson Merrill, like my brain clearly doesn't work anymore,
Speaker 1: Like forty hit and it's just shutting down.
Speaker 3: Forty one is gonna come. I don't say anything.
Speaker 4: Back in my day used to be all kinds of Michaels.
Speaker 4: Now it's Jackson's.
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of Jackson's I don't Yeah, not a
Speaker 3: lot of Chrises anymore. There's a whole lot of I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: missus Jackson. We also have I know I thought Joe
Speaker 3: was off today.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry Max Meyer, who Joe absolutely loves went six innings.
Speaker 1: He gave up one run, three hits on Sunday with
Speaker 1: Rich is still a decent. He had a thirty two
Speaker 1: percent with rate thirty five percent CSW, which is pretty good.
Speaker 1: But the strikeouts are still lower. Slider's still coming. He's
Speaker 1: kind of been like a two pitch picture. This was
Speaker 1: noted I think over on rote World, but just want
Speaker 1: to throw that out there because Joe would want Max
Speaker 1: Meyer to be in there, and I'm surprised he's going
Speaker 1: a little bit into the deeper innings bog.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if you're big on Max Meyer not.
Speaker 4: I'm just wonder how long it's going to be till
Speaker 4: he's out for the year, like all the rest of
Speaker 4: the Marlins pictures.
Speaker 2: So I like Max Meyer.
Speaker 4: There's a spot for him now obviously, But yeah, tough
Speaker 4: to trust anything going on in Miami right now.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 1: So you can trust our friends over at Trophy Smack.
Speaker 1: That's right, friends, Trophy Smack, the championship trophy could be yours.
Speaker 1: You could win this beautiful custom trophy from Trophy Smack
Speaker 1: by doing one of two things. Subscribing to the Fantasy
Speaker 1: pros MLB YouTube channel, which is YouTube dot com Slash
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros MLB. If you're listening on the podcast, if
Speaker 1: you're here, do it now and then comment on like
Speaker 1: any video. This video would be particular if you guys
Speaker 1: are making comments, you guys are literally getting your entries in.
Speaker 1: But you could do it on any of the videos
Speaker 1: that we've got going on. And guess what this trophy.
Speaker 1: The winner will be announced tomorrow when Joe returns. That's right,
Speaker 1: we'll be announcing the trophy Smack winner. So make sure
Speaker 1: you get your comments in like now immediately so you
Speaker 1: guys can have your opportunity to win. I want you
Speaker 1: guys to win, all right. Moving through three up and
Speaker 1: three down, Lane Thomas went two for three with three
Speaker 1: stolen bases. Fox he's up to six stolen bases but
Speaker 1: hitting under two hundred.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's gonna come around.
Speaker 4: I mean Lane Thomas obviously, I think everyone picked regression
Speaker 4: for him. His value was pretty low for what he
Speaker 4: did last year coming into drafts, so it's not surprising
Speaker 4: that he started off cold. But I think he's gonna
Speaker 4: get back to normal here pretty soon. So like you
Speaker 4: love to see it.
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor had a good day two for five, homer
Speaker 1: and a double finally picking it back up and Zach
Speaker 1: Geloff triple homer, three runs, four RBIs. You also had
Speaker 1: a big day from William Can had two homers, five RBIs,
Speaker 1: three runs.
Speaker 3: He was also four for five on Sunday on the down.
Speaker 1: Nick castianos oh for three on Sunday, has one hit
Speaker 1: in his last twenty at bats. Kyle Gibson gave up
Speaker 1: seven earned runs six in the first against Miami and
Speaker 1: Josh Hater got the save, but allowed four earned runs
Speaker 1: in his last three innings. So he has been a
Speaker 1: wild ride and Joe Moscrob hates him.
Speaker 3: We found out.
Speaker 1: On the injury front, we talked about a lot of
Speaker 1: the guys. Trevor story shoulder dislocation. This is one that
Speaker 1: is being discussed of. He might not come back this year.
Speaker 3: Like he's hopeful to come.
Speaker 4: He might not come back. If that's the case, I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, maybe yeah.
Speaker 3: So I don't know where this seems gonna go.
Speaker 1: Saddana Rafaela could end up playing some infield, maybe yeah,
Speaker 1: he has Maybe Marcelo Mayor maybe he's going to be
Speaker 1: a guy that they are going to look to. I
Speaker 1: don't know they've got infield prospects. I just don't know
Speaker 1: if a lot of them are ready. Abrams and Wilson
Speaker 1: Contrerist both scratched Saturday, and dnp on Sunday with a
Speaker 1: sore hand. And on our Diamondbacks, Heraldo Perdomo tornamentiscus out
Speaker 1: a month at least. It is Blaze time, Blaze and
Speaker 1: the monster machines, Bogs. It is officially Blaze time.
Speaker 4: Blaze needs to get to the fielding machine and you know,
Speaker 4: not have any more errors. He's been frustrating recently, so
Speaker 4: hopefully he'll he'll get it on track. But this is
Speaker 4: an audition for him. You know, I said it before
Speaker 4: the season. I think Perdomo is on his way out.
Speaker 4: He's a great fielder though, so you know Blaze has
Speaker 4: to step up and play.
Speaker 2: Well. We'll see.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, friendos, You know what time it is,
Speaker 1: Bogs is not okay, Bogs. When I say bets, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go our best bets and you go of the day.
Speaker 1: Say it like that, okay, Okay, So ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: it's time for our best.
Speaker 2: Bet of the day.
Speaker 3: Bets uh of the day. That's right. It's our best
Speaker 3: bets of the day.
Speaker 1: Which we are very happy to be bringing you guys,
Speaker 1: look at that artwork. Look at that.
Speaker 2: That is a beautiful a while ago with no hair there,
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Look at that the bet three, six, five best bets
Speaker 1: of the day. It's Bog and the Welsh even getting
Speaker 1: the artwork together. Like I said, let's kick back on
Speaker 1: a hot streak. Let's get going, bagman.
Speaker 3: Let's hear yours and then I will rattle through mine
Speaker 3: and I'll give everybody the leading off parlay of the day.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, if you guys saw Opening Day, you
Speaker 4: know Kyle Frielan gave up a ton of runs in
Speaker 4: that third ten runs to be exact. I don't know
Speaker 4: if they were all in the third, but he gave
Speaker 4: up ten runs to the Diamondbacks. We've watched Za Gallen,
Speaker 4: I know well suspensioned it here and on our show
Speaker 4: and in this league. Zach Gallen has been flirting with danger. Well,
Speaker 4: they're playing in Colorado tonight. The over is ten and
Speaker 4: a half. It's minus one twenty. I am going over
Speaker 4: on that game, Jose Burials, I'm gonna take the over
Speaker 4: six and a half. Strikeouts, Seattle has the highest k
Speaker 4: percentage in Major League Baseball so far this season. I
Speaker 4: think Burrios can get six and a half easy, and
Speaker 4: then I'm com pairing too. But if you want to
Speaker 4: take Ozuna over one and a half total bases versus
Speaker 4: the Mets, it's minus one oh five.
Speaker 2: He is sixteen for fifty nine.
Speaker 4: That's the three fifty two average with four bombs versus
Speaker 4: Ulio two ron. You could pare it with can tell
Speaker 4: Marte over two and a half that is plus money
Speaker 4: at one ten a little harder to get, but he
Speaker 4: is hitting three seventy eight with three bombs versus Cleveland
Speaker 4: or Freeland. Excuse me, and that game is in Colorado,
Speaker 4: so uh, of course not gonna not gonna leave without
Speaker 4: some d bax bets here for me.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 3: What did you see? What is the pairing? If you
Speaker 3: pay Ozuna and Marto get it?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Okay you didn't, but but but yeah, I mean that
Speaker 4: that is that is a good pairing. I think it
Speaker 4: is two and a half, So it's plus money for
Speaker 4: Marte because he's been on such.
Speaker 2: A hot streaks.
Speaker 4: This is one of the few times I'm willing to
Speaker 4: take a two and a half total base I like it.
Speaker 3: I can definitely get down with that.
Speaker 1: The Brios one I was sitting on personally just because
Speaker 1: of Seattle. It's not a bad bet. It's not a
Speaker 1: bad bet at all, all right. So where I'm going with
Speaker 1: mine today? That is actually my bet of the day,
Speaker 1: which is going to be on the socials. I'm going
Speaker 1: with a nurfy I know, the gimmicky and whatever, but
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Seattle Toronto game.
Speaker 3: You just mentioned Jose.
Speaker 1: Brios, Well, Jose Brios Luis Castillo both on the mound.
Speaker 1: Castill looking to bounce back a little bit.
Speaker 3: Both of these teams are in the bottom eight in
Speaker 3: the league and scoring in the first inning, and both
Speaker 3: of combined for one run over the last three games,
Speaker 3: so I think the offense is stunted a little bit.
Speaker 3: I like both of these pitchers.
Speaker 1: I like Castillo to bang back, and like you said,
Speaker 1: with Barrios, the strikeouts are up. This is minus one
Speaker 1: twenty over on bet three six five, So that's kind
Speaker 1: of my favorite bed of the day. My second one,
Speaker 1: I'm going over to the Angels in Tampa Bay. First
Speaker 1: five total runs, four and a half under and that's
Speaker 1: minus one twenty five over at bet three six five,
Speaker 1: middle of the pack in the league in first five scoring.
Speaker 1: For both of these teams, they actually both average around
Speaker 1: two runs per game through the first five, but the
Speaker 1: Angels are bottom six in the league in ops against
Speaker 1: righty's so against EFLN, and then Tampa Bay is bottom
Speaker 1: twelve in the league in ops against lefties. So there
Speaker 1: you go. That's for Tyler Anderson. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with less than four and a half runs being scored
Speaker 1: at minus one twenty five. I struggled with this last one.
Speaker 1: I almost didn't want to bet this, but it just
Speaker 1: kept calling me. Blake Snell strikeout six and a half
Speaker 1: under and.
Speaker 3: It's one thirty five. There's a little bit of juice
Speaker 3: on it. He absolutely can go nine to ten. Yeah,
Speaker 3: any of that. I absolutely can run with that. But
Speaker 3: I just don't think he's gonna get there. In the
Speaker 3: first start.
Speaker 1: When he doesn't get ninety plus innings, I just don't
Speaker 1: think we're gonna get there. Oh yeah, pitches, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: When he gets to ninety plus pitches. If he's under that,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get there. So that's where
Speaker 1: my big focus is I don't think they're gonna let
Speaker 1: him go ballistic right out the gates, So I think
Speaker 1: the strikeout number are gonna be low. Plus Washington the
Speaker 1: lowest in baseball the last.
Speaker 3: Three games in strikeouts. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Did I say Efflyn is everybody? Why is everybody pepioing?
Speaker 1: Is it peppio?
Speaker 2: Somebody asks a question the chat.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, because I'm pretty sure it's But that
Speaker 1: was my big thing was the strikeout numbers.
Speaker 3: Washington doesn't strike out a bunch.
Speaker 1: I don't walk a whole bunch, and it's first start,
Speaker 1: so I'm going under six and a half strikeouts. That,
Speaker 1: my friend, is my top three. And then if we
Speaker 1: want to play a parlay, here's a parlay I put
Speaker 1: together Bogs. It is a run line parlay Yankees minus
Speaker 1: one and a half versus the Marlins Cleveland minus one
Speaker 1: and a half versus Chicago and the Diamondbacks minus one
Speaker 1: and a half versus Colorado that pays plus six seventy
Speaker 1: three on bet three sixty five. If you want to
Speaker 1: put that bad boy together. I love all the matchups.
Speaker 1: Cleveland is kind of a sneaky one. Arizona that's the play.
Speaker 1: You know how that one goes? So that, my friends are.
Speaker 3: All of our bets of the day. Let's look at
Speaker 3: that artwork there you go. Hey, it's Bogman and Welsh,
Speaker 3: Bogman and the Welsh.
Speaker 1: Hey, all right, let's finish this bad boy up with
Speaker 1: some home run calls.
Speaker 3: Bogs. Who's your home run call today?
Speaker 4: I just mentioned give me Marcelo Zuna. He is white
Speaker 4: hot right now. He has a good track record against Aeyron.
Speaker 4: I think he goes yard.
Speaker 3: I like that one.
Speaker 1: You guys want to check out the board. Look at
Speaker 1: that gross board. Joey p is up there with all
Speaker 1: those home runs. He's tied for third place with the
Speaker 1: Yankee two three rules with six pazzi and as he
Speaker 1: calls him, votes in O's Joe does is in the lead.
Speaker 1: Those guys are in the lead. I am absolutely nowhere
Speaker 1: to be found. I'm on the coldest of cold streaks.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I'm gonna get it going. Bogman's
Speaker 1: probably gonna pass me here soon. So I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: to get this bad boy hot with Ronald Acunya. So
Speaker 1: that's gonna be easy play if you can get it hot.
Speaker 3: With anybody. How about the lead off hitter.
Speaker 1: He's got a half decent track record again, So you're
Speaker 1: taking Ozuna, I'm taking Acunya.
Speaker 3: We're gonna tackle this Braves game.
Speaker 2: Ozuna from the Braves. He's gonna get it. Let's go.
Speaker 1: I like that, all right, friends, that is gonna do
Speaker 1: it for the show. Want to remind you guys about
Speaker 1: a couple of things that you guys can always come
