The one 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:30.319 week countdown has officially begun, Bubba. Cars were exploding in 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.400 your world over here. Chaos is happening over there. How 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:34.880 are we doing? 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:35.160 Man? 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.240 I think a literal car blew up in front of you. 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.239 It's Friday, So let's just take the positives in this one. 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:42.879 I can only go up from here. It's been a 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.080 wild morning. But we're gonna talk some baseball. We're gonna 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.080 get headed of the weekend. We're gonna have some fun 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.320 and see what we can do for the listeners. 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.240 I almost did the gravest of grave thing I could 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.600 ever have done. So if people you know follow me 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.480 on Twitter, you'll see I always tweet out like two 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.000 minutes before the show is live. I tweet out the 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.200 link and it's like, hey, come hang out and watch 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.959 this blah blah blah. While we're in our little pre video. 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:08.800 I'm kind of racing a little bit today. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.880 I had pasted. 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:16.640 The stream yard join link on the thing and I 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.960 and I hit send, but I can undo, and I 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.160 was like, oh my god, we're gonna have forty people 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.240 that are be trying to get in here. 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:24.080 Eight. 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.040 Yeah, that was the one time the Twitter thing really 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.360 paid off because I could undo it because I pasted 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.800 the come and join us on the show link instead 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.959 of here's where you can watch link, which would have 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.160 been one. It would have been brutal. Have you got 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.640 fantasy questions for this final week? Pop them in the chat. 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.840 I will get to them a little bit later. We've 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.479 got a little bit of a Welsh and Corman carroll. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:46.399 Where are we? 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:47.280 Where are we at? 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.920 We get a Friday edition. We do have a Friday edition. 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.880 We've got Homer calls, We've got bets. Bets were okay 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.960 last show. I think I was two for three. The 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.960 one that I was most confident about Sanga. The others 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.000 are really good. So we'll get to all of those. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.400 But first we're gonna talk about the big call up, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.160 which I gotta be honest with you, At every moment 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.520 of this season, I've been like I thought we were done. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.239 I thought we were done here here. 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:10.640 Nope. 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.200 With about ten days left in the season, the Raiser 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.959 calling up top prospect junior cam and Aro from Double 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.760 A to three twenty four average almost a four hundred OVP, 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.799 almost a six hundred slug, thirty one homers between Double 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:32.200 A and High A. Cameron Aro is uniquely an amazing prospect. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:36.079 He is in the elite, elite class. The Jackson Holidays, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.040 the Jackson Churios, and I had tweeted like, I'm actually 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.680 shocked that Churio wasn't the guy that beat them there. 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.959 We know that there's obviously some need in that shortstop 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.280 middle infield. With the rays and everything that's going on, 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.440 I just didn't quite think that this was gonna be 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.680 the thing that was going to go on. But Cameron 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.480 Arow has got an absolutely beautiful swing. He has superstar potential. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.919 Been playing a lot of third base recently in the minors, 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.239 so that's another thing to pay attention to. But he's 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.720 going to get a ten day trial run with the 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.240 major league team here, probably gonna hit a little bit 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.240 lower in the lineup, but this is you know, top 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.280 of top's type of prospects. So a lot of you 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.760 have messaged me about like the leagues you play in 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.880 where you can, you know, grab a guy and keep 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.600 him into the next year, and you guys will like 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.320 be like, should I keep Jackson Holl Like? Those are 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:24.639 the type of prospects that are out there. Kem and 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.359 Arroo's one of those guys. And this is even furthermore 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.960 reason that they're showing for next season, He's probably going 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.840 to be vying for either starting third base or starting 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.040 shortstop spot. He also will not be going to the 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.040 Fall League. So Kem and Aro's up with one week 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.720 to go, are you like, is there a level of speculation? 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.760 We kind of seen how these prospects have gone. It's 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.920 been okay, you know, some of the guys after a 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.000 little bit, get going. Jason had a really hot start. 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.520 Is cam and Arow's somebody you're looking for in desperation? 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.200 Uh? For myself? No, Only for the reason is the 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.480 Rays want to play five games next week their point, 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.680 and everyone plays six. Like there's like two teams that 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.560 can play five, most play six, four teams play seven, 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.880 something along those lines. So the five games really hampers things, 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.560 especially say he only plays four, the five. After that point, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.120 it's just limiting your upside for the final week of 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.600 the season. I'm excited to see he's doing. It's a 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.839 good move for the Rays. It also signals, you know, 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.080 Brandon lou thought the ball off his knee on Thursday 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.400 night and looked horrible. He could be missing some time. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.880 Luke Rayley is a mess with his shoulder. He felt numbness, 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.160 couldn't feel his fingers after a swing on Wednesday. So 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.039 Kevin Arrow should play for sure. I'm just not sure 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:36.880 how much. So I'm looking forward to seeing it. And 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.520 it's a good move for the Rays because they can 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.680 use the loophole if an injury takes place, he can 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.000 join the postseason roster. So if they like what they 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.039 see or whatever, he's leasing to get some reps at 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.560 the big league level, getting ready for the postseason. And 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.840 that's why I want to ask you, why isn't Jackson 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.599 Surio up with the Brewers for that same reason, because 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.880 you know, Yellow's his back issue. On others, that seems 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.919 like another kind of loophole guy that they need. 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.479 Yeah, well, I think it's organization philosophy that's involved in here. 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.960 I wonder I wonder if there's a possibility that the 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.240 team feels he's still not ready in some capacity and 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.000 they want to manipulate. You know, it seemed like the 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.560 Brewers maybe they might not quite value this extra pick 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.919 stuff with They've got a lot of young guys. You 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.479 know you're gonna have next year, Garrett Mitchell or yeah, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.320 Garrett Mitchell, you got south Freelick, you've got Weimer, But 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.240 you've got all these guys in the outfield that maybe 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.720 they don't think he's assured the roster, so they want 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.520 to manipulate a little bit. Where it's now, I've been 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.840 thinking about this raised situation. You brought up something. I 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.560 think that's interesting because multiple people are like, oh, hey, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.240 you know, he could play for the playoffs, and it's like, well, no, 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.839 they can't because he wasn't up by September first, unless 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:48.279 the entry. But I kind of been thinking, maybe you 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.279 don't bring him up at all unless you know you're 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.360 going to play this minute, this injury card. 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.080 Maybe the l I'm saying, like, when he saw you 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.000 got called up, that's the only reason why I feel 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.080 like you call him up. Otherwise, why why isn't a 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.280 Rando personale that've been doing it all season. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.880 With yeah, you've got a million guys, You've also like 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.480 you've got only ten days just to get the tiny taste. 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.719 I'm not really sure that would have been the play. Honestly. 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.919 I thought the play for him would have been, you know, 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.160 going to the Arizona Fall League or even just playing 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.800 pretty like heavy Dominican Winter League stuff for more at bats. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.600 So the only play to me is that they are 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.000 going to long term injury and it's like allow is 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.640 completely off the roster or something like that, and then 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.520 they'll get to use that injury card. That would be 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.560 the play. That'll be interesting because we've seen the Rays 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:34.159 do this. Remember he who shall not be named anymore 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.760 made his major league debut in the playoffs for the Rays, 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.240 so this wouldn't be really uncommon. And I am now 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.880 leaning off of the initial thing that Kevin Arrow might 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:48.719 be going for the playoffs and might build the magic, 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.080 the majesty, the you know, the everything that that hold 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.320 the I'm trying to think of the word. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.120 It can it can give a taste like a boost 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.840 to a team that's a long, long season. Bring this 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.239 youth movement in here, and he's a little jolt basically. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.880 Yeah, the stick. Yeah, it's like the stigma. Just the 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.159 legend of Caminaro, that's kind of more what I'm trying 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.320 to say, like the legend of him as he shall 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.480 not be named, kind of did that in those playoffs. 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.120 Cannara has the opportunity to do that here. So maybe 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.520 it's something to pay attention to, you know, if you're 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.800 trying to get some more power. I don't think speed 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.720 is in the cards. He's stole five bases across two levels. 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.400 I will say, cut his strikeout percentage from high A 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.920 to double A, from twenty five to seventeen percent this year, 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.520 upped his walk percentage as well, and has been an 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:35.360 elite home run. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.520 Hitter with thirty plus. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.480 Like this is a real deal guy with now that 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.520 I'm thinking about it, with how teams have used prospects, 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.640 I would not be shocked if we saw him hitting 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.280 like three for the team, and that would be really telling. 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.640 So pay attention to it. Definitely a guy in your 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.400 guys is weird keeper leagues where you can pick up 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.800 these players that you would want going into to next year. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.560 But that has to be the last of the big 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.800 big rookie lookie prospect call ups. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.840 We said, though we keep thinking that, and here they 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.880 keep coming. It's ridiculous. Well, the crazy one would be like. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.200 One of what I don't want to say, Gunner, but 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.200 like you know, one of the middle infielders where the 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.400 Orioles goes down and then it's like Jackson holidays up 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.280 with a week left and they're trying to manipulate the 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.280 same thing. But they didn't get a whole pa thing. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.320 A couple of really interesting pitching performances. We've talked a 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.040 ton about streamers over the last couple of weeks. Well, 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:27.640 yesterday Emmett she And career high nine strikeouts allowed one run, 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.440 only went four and two thirds though, so it wasn't 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.440 in the decision against the Giants. She And ending out 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.920 strong is a really important thing because he has all 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.959 the potential to start next year and be a starter 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.840 in that Dodger's rotation. With all the chaos that's going on. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.040 Yeah, it's been an overall to me, lackluster, disappointing seas, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.840 don't know how you want to phrase it. For she 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.679 And with all the expectations, you know, went back to 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.400 the miners, he's pitching out of the bullpen, That was 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.280 his fourth appearance since coming back on September second, the 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.560 longest he's gone in the game so far. He's looked 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.600 much better, So I'll give him that much. Like you said, 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.360 finish the season song could be good because this Dodgers 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:07.920 team is struggling for pitching. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.160 Yeah, my worry about him next year a little bit 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.080 is going to be how deep they're going to allow 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:13.679 him to go. But you can spend a whole off 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.240 season doing that. You can work it out and figure 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:17.400 it out. It doesn't have to be a big deal. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.400 Might have a fall league where he could stretch himself 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:20.679 out somewhere, just saying, but. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.679 Well, he did it last year. Actually, he was here 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:23.839 last year and he was shine. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:25.800 I paid attention. He's shine. 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.160 He was one of the best pitchers that was out 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.840 in the years that a foll league last year and 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.680 that kind of push. That's why it's always interesting to 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:35.040 pay attention to Tarik's scooble season high ten strikeouts over 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.640 seven innings against the A's. The A's are always gifting 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.760 us these magical performances, and Treek Scuble is adding to 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.080 his legend. That's even the word I was looking for 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.240 even more with Junior Kimenhara. The legend of Treek Scuble 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.360 continues to grow. He has been dominant and then the 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.720 other one to throw out is Resulson held the Dodgers 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.480 to one run over six innings five strikeouts in a 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:58.400 win on Wednesday. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.199 He has been crazy. Treek and Reese. 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.760 Are not the same in that, like you've got the 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.440 different type of streaming options out there, but like Treke 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.360 is not a streaming option. But you know, you look 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.040 at these performances of these pictures, We're getting a lot 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.240 of payoff. Gets me a little bit nervous about today 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.559 because there's a couple of those big pictures that have 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:22.240 been growing. Cole Reagan's is that version of Tarik's. Schooble 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.280 and Gibson Long is that version of what Reese has been. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.680 And I really hope it's a continued payoff here. But 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:33.640 you know, Terike is probably top thirty five next year, 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.480 top thirty. Maybe I'm being conservative. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.640 Yeah, I've been. Actually I had this conversation on the 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.120 show last night where he was in the middle of 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.959 pitching when we were talking and he just keeps dealing. 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.559 I saw a staff this morning, Spencer Strider for pictures 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.920 with a minimum of seventy seventy innings pitched. Spencer Strider 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.920 thirty percent, Kadawalk Terry Schooble is second at twenty seven 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.920 point seven percent. He's been great since coming off the il. 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.760 This is everything we all hoped he'd be. He's working 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.120 as well. I feel like in the top thirty fantasy 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.960 starting pitcher. Honestly, it's the innings concerned, and I don't 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.560 know how it's because coming off the injury, he's getting 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.240 a good chunk of innings this year, which you're gonna help. 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.600 I think he'll be at least one fifty next year 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.520 barring barring health. And if he can get one fifty 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.800 of this, my goodness, top thirty for sure, it's. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.760 Gonna be a really really popular pick. Like he's gonna 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.160 be one of those guys, very very popular for people 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:23.760 to try to round out their rotations. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.559 But don't sleep on Reese. I like the Reese cob 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.760 and I'm promoting him for a streamer for quite some time. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.200 He's been a quality start machine. 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.040 Yeah, and I think Reese is pretty good throughout. I 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.640 actually think his two start next week is probably uh 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.760 Frank Stanple and I were going through this. His two 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.240 start is one of the better two starts. Next week, 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.280 I think it's Ryan Peppio theoretically might have a lineup 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.480 for it. Reese has it, and he's near the top, 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.960 and we're kind of going through some of those streaming options. 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.280 Gibson Long I think is Lyning and well, no, now. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:57.240 He's off it because he's gone today. Yeah, Reese and Pepio, and. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.199 I'm forgetting somebody that I was yapping out. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.600 There's there's one that's not like Howser's one, Blackburn's one. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.800 They're not like you lead off. Michael King is your 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.599 other one? Michael King? That was my guy, That was 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.040 my guy, that was how we were. 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.000 I couldn't get there. My brain is not working today. 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.120 Michael King's my number one. Next week it doesn't matter 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:15.800 for anybody. Michael King won. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.440 And it's two really good matchups too. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.320 Yeah, well Reese has the best, even better matchups. But 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:26.640 of the two, if if Pepio were to go two starts, yeah, 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.640 I'm still Pepio number two on this, they would go King, 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:34.240 Pepio and then Reese. The brank had pepiot number one. 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:35.440 It sounds like you agree with me. 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.440 Though I agree with you. Even though the Colorado started, 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.880 we don't worry about Colorado anymore. He finishes against the 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.599 Giants team that who knows. They has called up a 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.840 kid Fitzgerald, who played well on Tyler, but like we're 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.560 at that point of the season for the Giants right 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.160 now where he wasn't even on the radar for a 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:49.559 long time. 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.439 They designated Paul de Young. They're just like the hell 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:51.800 out of here. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.080 Bret Crawford finished his career on the aisle. It's just 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.360 a whole thing in San Francisco. But yeah, no, I 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.360 noticed that with the two starts last night. This schedule, 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.560 we did a big blood in the Bloom final week 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.839 breakdown of every possible thing you can think of pick. 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.600 Yeah, and those are what I'd be looking at. And 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.720 Jacob said, here, it's Kansas City and Pittsburgh and then 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.160 he's a percent right option. It's like the best. So 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:13.559 those would be your top three. I guess we're just 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.480 jumping into that for a second. Here we're gonna talk 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.200 a little bit more about the weekend streamers. But if 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.400 you're looking for next week, those are your top three targets. 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.199 Pepio is the dangerous one because he might not line up. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.560 I'd also say to everybody, everything is moving, like we 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.679 did this on Monday and Gibson Long was supposed to 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.960 pitch on Thursday. Hendricks like they're moving rotations so guys 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.120 could move out of two starts. The good thing about 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.600 those players is they've been so dominant. You just take 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:37.880 that start that you're going to get. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.600 Yeah, there's and there's like so many that might not 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.240 even go a full start their second start, Like some 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:43.680 teams like the Twins are going to be locked up. 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.640 Philly's probably locked up, so the Mayta like Nola starts 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.480 on Sunday's finally even happened. There's just six so many 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.559 things along those lines, like Gosman's supposed to have a 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.760 two start, but Toronto might have a playing game for 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.680 the wild Cards. They might move Gospen from Sunday to 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.000 that playing game. Like you gotta look at those kind 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.120 of scenarios where you might want these guys. Is that 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.000 we're talking about streaming because they should be pitching no 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:02.360 matter what. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.160 Yeah say, bo is listening to all my shows because 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.640 I I couldn't stop saying, you know how that happens sometimes, 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.160 Like sometimes my brain just doesn't work, which is happening today, 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.240 Bye with you. But like you get something in your 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.800 head and you're talking, like in podcasting, especially with doing 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.000 this type of stuff like it's it's there's a difficulty 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.960 in like having stats and having the process of where 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.880 you're going, how you're especially when you're hosting, when you're 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.440 leading the show, so you've got like these multiple paths 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.680 that you're trying to get into the same direction and 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.200 some and if something gets locked in your brain, you're 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.360 done for And for whatever reason, Michael Young kept being 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.320 locked in my brain. So like I'm talking with Frank 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.560 on CBS, I said Michael on like three times. I 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.760 think I did it on on it TL before. I 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.080 just could not stop saying it. So now that you've 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.920 done that, I'm probably screwed. So let's not talk. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.000 About I did it, Michael King. Like one of my 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.680 horrible ones is Logan Web say Brandon Web all the time. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:57.840 Mmm, God, I love Brandon Webb. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.400 I love I would not even think about it, and 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.600 I'll get like a message on Twitter after someone listens 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.840 to the show and I'm like, oh my bad, Like 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:06.760 Loop said, did that. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:11.800 Speaking of pitching, Sandy al Contra. He had a rehab start. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.480 We thought he might be like Tommy John at that point. 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:14.840 Felt good. 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.280 Four scoreless innings on Thursday in a minor league rehab 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.720 start in Triple A, which is so great because the 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.480 Marlins are obviously and like they're in the tight, tight 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.840 race with the Cubs and the Diamondbacks. Here, I think 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.120 we're gonna see Sandy next week, and I I'm. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:29.360 Shocked at that. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.440 It's one of the most shocking things. There's a real possibility, 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.880 real possibility in some of your redraft leagues that he 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.760 might have been cut because people are like, oh, he's 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.720 done for the year, and it's a must. He is 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.600 one of those musts. Even though things have been weird, 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.400 it's still a must scenario if he were to come 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:48.000 back out so interesting, weird, also dangerous, feels a little 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:48.480 bit uh. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.960 A dangerous, very dangerous before shut out as the four 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.280 k's and the forty percent right looked pretty promising. 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.560 Yeah, well, it's that's sane. I mean, Sandy and Triple 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.960 A is not fair. It's just Sandy in the majors 0:15:59.000 --> 0:15:59.440 has been. 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.160 Jackson Marty got a hit off of them though. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.640 Yeah, well he might be good for the majors sometime 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.720 the other Only little note here Matt Olsen two for six, 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.160 fifty third home run of the season against the Nationals. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.320 He keeps going the gift that keeps on giving my 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.160 friends on the streaming options, I want to throw these 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.560 out to you I gave. I've got a couple Saturday 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.240 and a couple Sunday. I want to see if you 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.640 sign off on them. These are just the most viable options, 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.200 whether they're good or not, on Saturday if you guys 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.040 are looking to stream this weekend, because now we've already 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.200 given these streamers for next week. Jordan Wicks is going 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.640 up against Colorado, but it's not in Colorado, and JP 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.800 France has been moved to Saturday. It looks like against Houston. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.200 Can you get down against Houston? He's on Houston or 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.320 against Kansas City. I think it's still Kansas City. Yeah, 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.840 he is like Houston, Which, if any would you get 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.160 down with in desperation of pitching needs for the weekend. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.360 Wicks for sure. I'll take Wicks all day. I've been 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.040 a huge Wicks fan we talked about on the show. 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.200 With that heavy change up, limits to strike out from 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:00.760 time to time, but I'll think Wicks in that one for. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.400 Sure, one hundred percent agree. I actually think that might 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.040 be the best of the weekend, so I would try to. 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.840 Get I like his teammate on Sunday you've written. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.440 Down okay, and then on Sunday we've got hier Sad 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.240 who's going up against Colorado. Edward Cabrera has a start 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.600 against Milwaukee. So you like Assad more than Wish, just 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:17.520 for the strike out upside. 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:18.960 I saw over his last few starts has been a 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.359 strikeout machine, actually, so I'll take I'll take the upside 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.240 there in that one. But both I think they're both 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:24.240 great pickups. I think. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.359 I know I've said this a lot and has annoying 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.840 so apologies if you don't like my terminology, but if 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.320 you're hugging your ratios, I think Wicks is a guy, 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.000 and if you're chasing strikeouts, you go with Soad. 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:36.440 The Cubs pictures. 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.600 Are the best way. Cabrera is fun, but he's very 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.280 volatile against he. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.000
