I feel like I'm I'm 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: taking over for what Fernando's feeling today. A bench clearing brawl. 24 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: These teams just keep smacking each other with baseballs. Maybe 25 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: let's not hit the best players in baseball. Maybe when 26 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: we hit players, we don't hit Shohyotani and Fernando Tatis, 27 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: let's go hit you know whoever they had thirty five 28 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: year old that they just called up with the Padres 29 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: and let's go hit. I was gonna say, Andy Pieas, 30 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: but no, I. 31 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: Don't think you want to hit that. 32 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 2: Maybe you go hit Max Muncy and Jake Croninworth please. 33 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean, look, guys, get hit. It's baseball, 34 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, and good. We could talk about all this 35 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: as we're in it right now. I mean, Shield did 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: what he was supposed to do. And to be honest 37 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: with you, the Otani reaction to me was the one 38 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: that was most choice, because he knew he was getting drilled. 39 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: He got drilled. He turned round to when everybody just 40 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: chill out, bro, everything's fine. Goes to first it's talking 41 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: to Arias at first, and he's just like hanging out 42 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: with him. He's like, hey man, everything's going show. Atani 43 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: is a g he is awesome. I love that guy, 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: just like, hey man, let's like whatever, let's just play baseball. 45 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: And he knew he was gonna get drilled. He got 46 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: drilled a tough spot too. So hopefully Tatis will be 47 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: okay again. X rays were negative. He's going for an MRI. 48 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: We'll see what that does. But we got a lot 49 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: to talk about today. We've got some incredible performances from 50 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: the rookies, and that's where I want to start. So 51 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: for everybody who's been panicking about Kurtz and caglioon, just 52 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: as a reminder, these guys, when they come up with 53 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: the rookies, they're not building blocks the a roster. They're 54 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: bonus babies. They're guys you want to have on your 55 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: roster so that when they start to hit, they either 56 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: become trade assets and redraft or they potentially become solutions 57 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: to problems in your lineup. If you've been banking on 58 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: them being starters, then you've already failed in your roster construction. 59 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: But as you can see, Nick Kurtz is getting hot. 60 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: Let's start with him to run homer bottom of the 61 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: tenth another walk off for him. He hasn't drawn a 62 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: walk in a month of June, but he's been more 63 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: aggressive and that has resulted as a six thirty six 64 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: slugging percentage for the twenty two year old. And he 65 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: is the youngest player in Major League Baseball history with 66 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: two walk off home runs in the same series, the 67 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: first A's player to ever do that in the fifty 68 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: games excuse me, in the last fifty seasons to walk 69 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: off two home runs in a calendar month at age 70 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: twenty two or younger. The last guy to do that 71 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: was Eddie Murray in nineteen seventy eight. So Nick Kurtz 72 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: looks confident. Nick Kurtz is hitting balls like launching balls, 73 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: flipping bats. That's the guy that I saw last year 74 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: on the tape, and that's the guy that I saw 75 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: in the minor leagues on tape, and this is the 76 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: guy that've been waiting for the big leagues. Welsh. 77 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of to what you said before. The one 78 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: of the difference in rookies are there are bonus babies 79 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: and CAGs and Kurts a bonus babies. But there's also 80 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: rookies that are not the guys that you drafted. They 81 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: do have roster equity, they do have like starting equity, 82 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: so they feel the little bit different. So you know, 83 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: a Christian Campbell or a cam Smith, they hurt a 84 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: little bit more, but sometimes they do get clumped in 85 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: a little bit. But really, at the end of the day, 86 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: you know, like you should do the best you can 87 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: when drafting rookies or picking up rookies to have your 88 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: backups to cover yourself because of the volatility. But this 89 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: is also it's just kind of like a this is 90 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: an easy algorithm. You know, like obviously we don't know 91 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: if these guys are going to work out, but guess 92 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: what if there's an amazing batter arm, Like there's the 93 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: potential to struggle. That's why, maybe annoyingly, but like when 94 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 2: these guys hit a buck fifty after two weeks and 95 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: we're like, hey, hold up, and you're like, oh, well, yeah, 96 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: it's because like it's a very small sample size. These 97 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: guys are adjusting kind of across the board. You need 98 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 2: a proper sample size, which also means need the proper 99 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: roster construction to be able to do if you're gonna 100 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: get in the game of dropping fab or waiver wires 101 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: on guys like Nick Kurtz and Kaglione, make sure that 102 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: you have some backups or some of the roster constructions 103 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: so you could hold on and not make it a 104 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: four day thing and cry about it. Because like Nick 105 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 2: Kurtz is bouncing back. He looked the profile, fourteen percent barrel, 106 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: almost fifty percent hard hit rate, a fifteen degree launch angle. 107 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: He's getting the ball in their and he's not even 108 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: pulling the ball, as you could see on those walk offs. 109 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: He hasn't even gotten to the level where he has 110 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: the ability to pull the ball. Yet. I think we're 111 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: in a good spot. I don't think he's an elite player, 112 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 2: but I do think that Nick Kurtz is a legitimate 113 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: shot to walk out with twenty plus homers, probably maybe 114 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: a subbish part batting average, and we have that ballpark, 115 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: a little bit of the ballpark that's going to benefit us. 116 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 2: So yeah, there's a little bit of I told you 117 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: so with Nick Kurtz, and obviously with kag Leana, we're 118 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: going to. 119 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: Talk about yeah. And look, I also think baseball is 120 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: a game of streaks. So when these guys are red 121 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: hot for six weeks, eight weeks down at Triple A, 122 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: double A, wherever they are, and they come up. It's 123 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: also just the nature of the beast that sometimes you 124 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: slow down, Like mentally, things are different, things are changing, 125 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: are at their comfort zone right, Like, there's a lot 126 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: to adjust to at the big league level. So you 127 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: just have to be patient. And if you've been patient, 128 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: you've been rewarded. Especially yesterday, speaking of them, Jack Kegleione 129 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: two home runs. The first one he hit too. His 130 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: first home run was hilarious because it was a ball 131 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: in his eyes that he hit. I want to say, 132 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: I saw Sarah Langs sweeted it's the since the stat 133 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: cast era, the highest ball that a rookie has hit 134 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: for a home run ever or something like that. Yeah, 135 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: it was some kind of absurd stat like that, and 136 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: I mean at his eyes and he just tomahawk that 137 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: bad boy out of there. Was pretty awesome. And then 138 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: this the home already hit, was in the same location 139 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: of the ballpark, but like thirty forty feet like further 140 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: than the first one. So just an incredible day for 141 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: both of those guys. I'm very happy for both of them. 142 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: Hopefully this builds the confidence. Again, it's just a matter 143 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: of I do think both of these guys are going 144 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: to grow into elite sluggers. Like I think we are 145 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: in a renaissance of slugging first baseman that we haven't 146 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: seen in a long time. It's been kind of a 147 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: kind of disappointing. You know, you've had like the Freeman's 148 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: of the Alonso's kind of keeping it real last couple 149 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: of years, Vladdy, you know, a couple of those guys. 150 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: But you know, back in the day, it was always 151 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: like every team had like a slugging first baseman. This 152 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: is fun and again we'll see if Kaglio six outfield 153 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: first base in the years to come. James would pair 154 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: of two run homers for him, including a walk off 155 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: in the eleventh. He's had a great season. You know, 156 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: Wood was one of our favorite draft values, and I 157 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: just want to take a moment here to talk about 158 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: how good of a season James Wood has had on 159 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: a team that has really been disappointing. We thought they 160 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: might be plucky, and they had a lot of talent 161 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: and stuff, and they've kind of been misery and they've 162 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: kind of been sleepwalking through the month of June pretty much. 163 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: But this was another great day for James Wood. And 164 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: as this guy continues to I think grow physically, James 165 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: Wood is going to be just an absolute superstar in 166 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: the league because he's still got a lot of weight 167 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: to put on, a lot of size. I think still 168 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: that he could put on that frame and when that happens, 169 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: he could be a forty home run guy someday. 170 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: Embarrassing that he's not on the All Star ball I mean, 171 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: he's on the ballot, but he's not in the current starters. 172 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: Well, he'll be an All Star though, Yeah, I. 173 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: Know he'll be an All Star, But like he is 174 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: projecting out like the fans didn't put James Wood in 175 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: and it looks like he could have a forty twenty season. 176 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: He's got one of the more ridiculous from a profile perspective. 177 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: It is almost July. He has a fifty seven percent 178 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: hard hit rate, almost twenty percent baril rate, crazy ninety 179 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: four average exit velocity, he's walking more. His expected batting 180 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: average is actually better than he currently is. James Wood 181 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: isn't vying for just a super valuable piece. He's like 182 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: a It's kind of like an MVP type of discussion. 183 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: He's not gonna get it, oh no, but he's like, 184 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: it's that type. But it's that type of season that 185 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: James Wood is putting in together, massive, massive fantasy value, 186 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: you know, and we're not gonna do it today. I 187 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: think we're gonna do it next week or I might 188 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: do it when I'm not here. But talking about the 189 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: Fantasy All Stars, you know, he he's in that discussion. 190 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 2: If you really think about, like if you were to 191 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: pick one outfielder, you know, Corbyn Carroll, you and obviously 192 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 2: you have come back down Tatis. You paid first round 193 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 2: value for all those guys. Akunya got the second round. 194 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: But James Wood was like a third to fourth round 195 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: type of player that he justifiably really does kind of 196 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: belong in there. And I remember all off season long, 197 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 2: you know, we talked about him versus Wyat Langford. It 198 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: was one of those two and James Wood is just 199 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: kind of ye just what so just. 200 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: Has lapped him. Here's a one from Uncle Baby, Billy Kurtzer, 201 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: Jack kagleone and dynastylsh would you rather have you're the 202 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: Dynasty guy? I know my answer, and I think it's 203 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: gonna surprise you. 204 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: I've got them really really close. I'm at the point where, 205 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 2: in long term betting, I'm going to bet on cagleone 206 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 2: to really impressed with Cagleon's strikeouts going low. I mean, 207 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: Kurtz is striking out like almost ten percent more than 208 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: him right now. I think kag Leon's homer potential is crazy, 209 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 2: you know, one of the things because you kind of 210 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: burned through CAGs. But he has a lot of untapped potential. 211 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: Everything he's doing, barrel hard hit, all that type of stuff. 212 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: He's he's in the like Vladimir Guerrero stage of his 213 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 2: rookie He's not getting the ball in the air. He's 214 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 2: got like a four degree lunch Agle right now. So 215 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: he's not even at the point where he's getting the 216 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: ball in the air where he can pull the living 217 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: crap out of it. And once he does start doing that, 218 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: it's gonna be like next level. You can see it, 219 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: just flick of the wrist, you know, look like what 220 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: is the what's the people with the wood lumberjacks? Lumberjack? 221 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: It looks like a lumberjack man. 222 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: Thank goodness, I don't want to get flagged again for 223 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: another thing. On our YouTube channel, yeah, what did we 224 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,599 Speaker 1: get flagged? I don't know. But the funniest thing is 225 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: we did not get flagged for the Rusty Kunz conversation. 226 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say that just in case the YouTube 227 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: is watching again. Uh, here's one from Finner do drop 228 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: Sworderstrom for Kurtz and a ten man points like one 229 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: hundred percent, yes, one hundred percent.

Big dadd ain't I'm a forty five Tigers jersey. 256 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: If we'll get hell Lou Whitaker Alan Trammel one next, 257 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: that'd be fun. Let's get to the Mets being terrible 258 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: and the Braves being good, and I bet the Braves 259 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs at plus two point fifty and 260 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: now it's under two hundred currently, just putting that out there. Yeah, 261 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm just saying. Spencer Strider was terrific. I watched him yesterday. 262 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: One run, six innings, eight strikeouts, the Mets pitchers walk 263 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: nine guys or something by the fifth inning. Was ridiculous. 264 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: So Strider was topping out at ninety eight point four, 265 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: his average fastball was at ninety six. So again, I 266 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: feel like we've turned the corner here, and for everybody 267 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: that was impatient and made bad decisions and traded Spencer Stryder, 268 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: to me, as some people did, it looks like that 269 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: corner has been turned in. Strider's officially back, and so 270 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: were the Braves as well. I just want to say, Welsh, 271 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: They've got a big series coming up against the Mets 272 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: next week, against the Phillies as well coming up soon. 273 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: They handle their business. They are right back in this 274 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: bad Boy. Yeah. 275 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: Well, and I don't know if you saw the rumor 276 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: two moving into the Mets just for a second, but 277 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: remember I had mentioned like, you probably want to get 278 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 2: some rotation help, and you were like, but their pictures 279 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: are so great, they're not. Now all the pitchers are 280 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 2: falling apart. They need depth, and that the Mets are 281 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: now potentially going to be looking in the pitching market 282 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: to get some more depth, because that's the thing that's 283 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: going to kind of hold you tight. And the Braves 284 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 2: they got the hot streak right now, even though Albi's 285 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 2: and Michael Harris aren't doing anything for them. Acunya has 286 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 2: stepped up the pitchers, Schwellenbach has found that rhythm. Chris 287 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 2: Sale looks like a cy young winner, and Spencer Strider 288 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 2: is like at least ninety to ninety five percent back, 289 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 2: you know, I mean like like we've seen some better 290 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 2: eras I think from Strider. I guess it was three, eight, 291 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 2: six and two twenty twenty three. But yeah, the K 292 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: numbers are back, the walk numbers are I mean, everything's stabilizing. 293 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 2: I guess it's a better way to say it, like 294 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: he is stabilizing, which is a positive. 295 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: And the Mets pitching was always pitching over their heads, 296 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: so it was going to come back down to earth. 297 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: But the injuries have hurt too, So health has been 298 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: an issue. I'll tell you what. The way we're gonna 299 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: talk about Vard Cabrera in a second two. Cabrera is 300 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: really building up his trade value also from the Marlins, 301 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: So Cabrera all contra those guys out there. We'll keep 302 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: an eye on that. Also, we've been keeping an eye 303 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: We mentioned this on a was a Monday or Tuesday show. 304 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: Was earlier in the week. Ryan Kirkering got another safe 305 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: against the Marlins. So Welsh we said to speculate. If 306 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: you speculate and you've added him for nothing, it's feeling 307 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: like by the time the end of the weekend rolls around, 308 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: it might cost you a couple bucks to add this 309 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: guy for saves. Yeah. 310 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 2: Probably, And you know they kind of kept going back. 311 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 2: That's the thing. I kind of felt like they might 312 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 2: not keep going back. But that's why you speculate, because 313 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: if something turns in that direction, and if it's worked, 314 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: if it's broke, if it ain't broke, they ain't gonna 315 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: fix It's not exactly the same. I shouldn't have saying 316 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 317 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: Sure, Pete grow Armstrong and two run Homer for him. 318 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: He's the first guy to the twenty twenty club this season, 319 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: so good on him. Fun fact though about him. I 320 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: was doing some research for the Sunday TV show on 321 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: sports Grid. You shall watch me over there Sundays eight 322 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: to ten on your streaming services on sports Grid is 323 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: the only place you're cana fy a two hour fancy 324 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: baseball show. That's for damn sure. But fun fact about him. 325 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: Despite the twenty twenty and all the success that he's had. 326 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: I did some digging because we talked about Splitsville, his 327 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: splits Verst. Right handed pitching, hitting three or four with 328 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: a nine to fifty eight ops. Awesome first lefties this 329 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: year one to eighty five batting average a six thirty 330 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: four OPS. I continue to be blown away by the 331 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: success of Peekrow Armstrong. I like him. He's fun to watch. 332 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: He's my kind of player. He's very exciting, he's very 333 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: into it, like you just you love Peekrol Armstrong if 334 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: you love baseball. But I'm still super concerned about this pace. 335 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: And I know he's already basically returned as draft stock, 336 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: like he's giving you twenty twenty ready, so it doesn't matter, 337 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: so you're not gonna trade him. But it's one of 338 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: those things where I keep looking at it. I'm going, 339 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: you know, when is the shoe gonna drop? When's the 340 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: shoe gonna drop? Because I feel like it's it's inevitable, 341 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm gonna be at the Black Book, 342 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm gonna be writing about Peek Crow 343 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: Armstrong be Like. After an incredible twenty twenty first half 344 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: of the season, Peekrol Armstrong fell apart of the second, 345 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: I feel like that profile is coming. I don't want 346 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: to write that profile, but I kind of feel like 347 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: it's I don't want to say inevitable, but possible. 348 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: It probably will because like I just made a very 349 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 2: significant adjustment in my Dynasty ranks of Dynasty ranks on 350 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: my in this league, in this league, dot Com, Patreon. 351 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: But I'll also be today updating the ranks on Fantasy 352 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: Pros for the back end stuff, so make sure you 353 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 2: guys have your your logins and everything. But like I 354 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: made a big adjustment for Pete Crow Armstrong and that 355 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: will probably be the reason why he now backtracks because 356 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: it's been it's been absurd. The stolen bases are crazy, 357 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: the batting average is supportive. Just profile stuff, the profile 358 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: stuff that I want to I'm going to look at 359 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: to be like, oh, can this guy continue being a slugger. 360 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 2: It's there, you know. I mean, he's making tons and 361 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 2: tons of contact. He's seven percent increase in his zone contact. 362 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, he does have there's some splits in there 363 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: that kind of worry you a little bit. So I 364 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: think he comes back down to the earth. I've always 365 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: been open in redraft to at this point because you 366 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: made the most interesting point you made is that he 367 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: may have already returned to your whole season value. 368 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's over, So like twenty can we go on? 369 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: What more are you walking? 370 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: You if you think there's like a thing or two 371 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: that you know, maybe he ticks down, but you could 372 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 2: get first round return value, which, by the way, that 373 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 2: is Pete Roh Armstrong's like return value his trade value 374 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: right now, his first round. So you should get nothing 375 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: less than what a first rounder would get. Then I 376 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: think I'm open to it. You can make your team better. 377 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: But the problem is is like if he doesn't come 378 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: back down to Earth and he continues to destroy righty's 379 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: and improves against lefties, he might he might end up 380 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 2: being a forty forty guy this year. So I don't know. 381 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 2: It's really tough to say, but because I am backing 382 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: him more in Dynasty, he should probably. 383 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: Well, the Dynasty keeper situation is totally different, Like if 384 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: you could flip him for Fernando Tatias or something absurd, 385 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: like you do that if there's a proven asset that 386 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: somebody wants to give you for Picrow Armstrong, let's have 387 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: to get down year. I would take it in the second, 388 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: but in redraft you're just holding because everything else is bonus. 389 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: Now twenty twenty, that's great. Who dat cheered some one hundred? Here? 390 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: Would you trade away Michael Garcia, Roman Anthony and a 391 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: next year third round pick for Chris Sale many Matchado 392 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: an eleventh round pick, twelve team head to head category league. 393 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: If I'm trying to win this year, I want Chris 394 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: sale So I'm good with this. There's a win now trade. 395 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: I mean, it's clearly a win now in trade. I 396 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: don't know. Roman Anthony is like a top fifty dynasty 397 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 2: asset right now. Chris Salees a million years old, Ay 398 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 2: Machado is about to be thirty four. If I did it, 399 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 2: I'm not treading a third round or two. I honestly, like, 400 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: I know, you have to have like extra little pieces. 401 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't want to do that one. 402 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 2: But if your ultimate win now that those are fantastic 403 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 2: win now pieces, get that pick up, Swap those picks. 404 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 2: The Roman Anthony gives a tenth rounder, eleventh rounder, and 405 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 2: then you get a third rounder back or something like that. 406 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: Roman Anthony hasn't clicked, but from a dynasty perspective. Most 407 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: dynasty leagues, you're not getting a caliber of play of 408 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 2: Roman Anthony for a couple thirty four year olds or 409 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 2: thirty six or thirty seven year olds. So that's a 410 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: weird trade. I tend to say not, but it clearly 411 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: makes your team better, no doubt about it. All. 412 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: Right, Now, yesterday we did a little bit of math. Oh, 413 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: by the way, Beattie says, there's some mixture stuff there. 414 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: What's the wouldn't keep? 415 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 2: Okay, that makes a different right there. So if you're 416 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 2: not going to keep Roman Anthony, then yeah, sure, go ahead. 417 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. Let's remind her by yesterday show 418 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: in case you missed it, we were talking about some 419 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: of the the math of Paul Skeen's potentially getting more 420 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: wins and how the lack of wins could hurt him. Well, 421 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: yesterday was another Paul Sken's esque performance and another no 422 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: decision against the Tigers. Nine strikeout, six runnings, two run 423 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: baseball here. But he did walk five guys that I 424 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: do want to tell you, So that was not great. 425 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 2: But I told you thirty percent of the time he 426 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 2: needed thirty three point five percent of his start. 427 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to make you be able to win. 428 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: We interviewed Welsh before the show to give you the 429 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: full math, because I know you struggle with it. So 430 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: let's take a look at that right now. You know what, 431 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: I forget Steiner math. It's all about the Welsh math, 432 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: and now it makes perfect sense. Thank you for clearing that. 433 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: Up for as well. It makes sense, little Joe. 434 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was Oh goodness, gracious God bless Scott Steiner. 435 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: All right, let's go for some transactions here, Emma she 436 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: and got sent down to triple A. People are freaking out. 437 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: I just think it's procedural right now, so I wouldn't 438 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: freak out. Wells should people freak out about him and 439 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: she Han being sent down? 440 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 2: I don't think you should freak out about m and 441 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 2: she Hen, But yeah, I mean I didn't. I didn't 442 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 2: even get into the reading. If it was one hundred 443 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: percent procedural, I imagine he'll be back soon. But not 444 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 2: what anybody wanted when they were like banking on Emtry 445 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 2: Hen's gonna save my rotation or whatever. 446 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 1: Yeah. No. Jeff passing A reported yesterday that the Red 447 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: Sox demoted Christian Campbell, so the slash for the month 448 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: of May was one fifty three, two twenty two. That'll 449 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: get you sent down. Look, they made an investment in 450 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell, he'll be back. Great time to buy on 451 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: him in Dynasty, I would think, right. 452 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, very very good time, very very good time. Probably 453 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: pushed way outside like a top one hundred. I mean 454 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 2: he's still young and everything like that. But you know, 455 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: positional changes the league adjusted to him. This is like 456 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: this is this is Welsh math, by the way, this 457 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 2: is real Welsh math. 458 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: War. 459 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 2: You have top prospect who comes up, rakes a bit, 460 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 2: then struggles beyond belief and gets sent down forty eight 461 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: percent of the time. You want to make a move 462 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 2: to that sixty seven percent where it's going to work 463 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 2: out in favor of you. So go and buy these 464 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 2: post hype rookie guys who have been sent back down 465 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: one hundred percent, especially Christian Campbell, not all of them. 466 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 2: Campbell is one. 467 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, the Blade did well, rookie. Lookie, time's 468 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 1: gonna get the season opener for the Phillies against the Phillies. 469 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: I should say, uh so that's not going well, and 470 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: the Met's rotation is not going well. Also, this is 471 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: a fun one too, because he's twenty years old. Is 472 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: I think it's Dittier or Didier? I don't know yet. 473 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: Either way, let's call him Ditty or Fuentes Kah Diddy 474 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: did find I don't know if we shot him Diddy, 475 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: And you know you don't want to get this video flag. 476 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: I definitely don't think we should say that. So Fuentest 477 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: is getting called up from the Braves. Last four games 478 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: for him eighteen innings between Double A and Triple A. 479 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: Over those eighteen innings, twelve hits, five earned, four walks, 480 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: twenty three strikeouts. Now, this is like that fast track 481 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: stuff that they do. The Braves are famous for this, right, 482 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: they get these live young arms, they fast track him through. 483 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: So it's great because if you have, you know, weekly transactions, 484 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: you can see what the starts. So depending on what 485 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: that looks like today, what do you think the prediction 486 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: of the Fuintes fab spend might be come Sunday. 487 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 2: Night unless he goes off? I mean, I'm going to 488 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 2: tell you right now, I am betting against it. Dude, 489 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: just turn twenty years old. I think they said he 490 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 2: is the youngest call up since twenty nineteen, so and 491 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: putting him right into the rotation. It shades of like 492 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 2: aj Smith Schaffer when he was up, like he might 493 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: be decent. I think everyone is going to be pretty 494 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: timid about it unless he goes off. If win, this 495 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 2: is like six innings and eight strikeouts, it gives up 496 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 2: three hits and stuff, then I think people will drop 497 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: some fab But I think we all kind of know 498 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 2: younger guy. If he were to stay, maybe he's gonna 499 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: end up being a bullpen piece this team. They're not 500 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 2: going to like probably rely on him in that rotation, 501 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 2: so I would think they could use him more in 502 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,479 Speaker 2: the bullpen long term. I think it's interesting. He's had 503 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 2: a phenomenal minor leg He's ad a good minor league season. 504 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 2: It's actually not phenomenal. It hasn't been like, you know, 505 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 2: one point to eire the entire season like it's good. 506 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: I think they like his fastball slider combination. We'll see 507 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 2: if did he can stay, Yeah, we'll see. 508 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: We shall see there. Let's get to some I want 509 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: to get a couple of pops on some starting pitchers 510 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: here that maybe you know, are so floating around in 511 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: leagues or could be available. Jacob Lopez has gone twelve innings. 512 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: In his last two starts, right, he's given up just 513 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: one run. He's got back to back outings with nine strikeouts. 514 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: So he's got eighteen innings. Excuse me, eighteen strikeouts and 515 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: twelve innings. Now, I know Lopez has taken some lumps 516 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: at times, but this one kind of made me go, 517 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: oh wow, this is, you know, kind of worth noting 518 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: and understanding. So do you have any thoughts about Lopez 519 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: and what he's done in these back to back starts 520 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: here for the athletic because if you're desperate for pitching 521 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: and you're looking for a streamer. I think he's got 522 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: the Tigers next week, which is not like the best situation. 523 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: I could be wrong on this, which maybe the worst maybe, 524 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like, look, you know, 525 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: if he has another gut start against the Tigers and 526 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: forget it, like, you're never gonna be you know, people 527 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: are gonna be all over him. So what do you 528 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: think about this recent success from Lopez. 529 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pass it is interesting. It's been a nice 530 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 2: little run. But you're talking about like this is an 531 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: average ninety mile an hour fastball guy. His slider, it's 532 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 2: a real slow, sweepy slider. It has a thirty percent 533 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: with rate, but his forcing fastball has a thirty one 534 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 2: percent with rate. That's not going to continue. All the 535 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 2: secondaries are okay, I'm not looking at stuff plus numbers, 536 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: but I'm gonna guess they're all below average. People are 537 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: pulling the ball. Actually, he's one of the worst in 538 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: baseball and people being able to pull the ball, plus 539 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: his own ballpark, so I'm a pass. It's been a 540 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 2: nice little run, but I'm not going to jump on. 541 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: Well. He also has RP eligibility, to which I know 542 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: in some. 543 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: Leagues is yeah, maybe Points League, like if he doesn't 544 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: get blown up, like I have kind of bet against 545 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 2: him a couple of times, and he's not gotten blown up, 546 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: so maybe Points League he's more applicable. 547 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: All right, Another one too, Edward Cabrera. We spntioned him 548 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: at the top of the show too, But another good 549 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: performance by him. He had two hits over six and 550 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: thirty innings. That's the most he's worked in any outing 551 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: this year. I feel like Cabrera is in otherwise, guys, 552 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: and you know, we joked earlier in the year because 553 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: Lance Brazowski was big on Max Meyer and Cabrera and 554 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: Meyer looked terrific, and then Cabrera looked terrible again, and 555 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: then they seem to have flip flopped here, and then 556 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: the health of Meyer becomes something too. But Edward Cabrera 557 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: is starting to feel like a guy that maybe want 558 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: to pick up in a trade, like in a package 559 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: deal kind of thing, and just see what blooms for him. 560 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: So why are we getting this new version of Cabrera 561 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: who's been so uneconomical and so inconsistent over most of 562 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: his career. 563 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 2: Now, well, I mean, one thing is he's just overperforming 564 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: because if you look same ish k percentage, he's dialed 565 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 2: that down walks about the same, but they're just like 566 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 2: a tiny bit less quality of contact still kind of 567 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: looks generally the same. The secondaries have induced some pretty 568 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 2: big whiff numbers. Last year, curveball was thirty nine percent 569 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: with rate. It's forty one percent this year. And he's 570 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 2: thrown his slider more. So that must be the big key. 571 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: Because he threw a slider about eight percent of the 572 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: time last year, He's thrown at fifteen percent of the time, 573 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: and that is an over forty percent with rate pitch 574 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: as well, So he is primary change up. Oh and 575 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 2: I guess the other thing I didn't even notice was 576 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 2: he's moved from a fastball to a sinker to just 577 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: a heavy sinker. So he's killed the RPMs on it 578 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 2: a little bit. That's probably you know, seeing eye change, 579 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 2: and then he's dropping this slider and more so that 580 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 2: pitch arsenal change has made him just a little bit 581 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 2: more dominant. And obviously he's with the Marlins. He's kind 582 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 2: of whatever value. I kind of think he I think 583 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 2: he's a tough guy to trade over Sandy, but if 584 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 2: he were to be traded, it's kind of we're back 585 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 2: to that. Like someone was asking us about Mitch Keller. 586 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 2: They were just like, what am I missing about Mitch Keller? 587 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 2: And we're like, well, listen, he's got quality. 588 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: He talked about what he starts at the Yin Yang. 589 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you know what you want, like quality start. 590 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 2: He's going six innings. 591 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: That record will be nine to one if he pitched 592 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: for the Yankees. With that. 593 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: Again, he doesn't have big strikeouts, which is kind of 594 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 2: stinky and stuff. But guess what I think Cabrera is 595 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: kind of maybe a little bit more walk heavy, but 596 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 2: he's got higher strike out upside, But I don't know 597 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 2: if he you know so, like I think those guys a. 598 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: Project in the right place. They'll just say the right organization. 599 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 2: He's a very I'm more interested, way more interested in 600 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 2: Cabrera than I am. 601 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: Jacob Lopez, Gavin Williams shout out the giants yesterday six 602 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: struck out six excuse me a no decision on Thursday. Also, 603 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: Kyle Harrison, since he got sent to Triple A. People 604 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: wondering why he got sent to Triple A. Well, apparently 605 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: he's adding a cutter and working on using his sinker 606 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: more so. If that's the case, I'm very excited to 607 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: see what we get from Kyle Harrison going forward in 608 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: the and he will inevitably get some stars with the 609 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: Red Sox this year. It's just it's going to happen. 610 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: A couple pieces of note as well in terms of history. 611 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: Nolan Aeronato hit his three hundred and fiftieth career home 612 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: run and Juan Soto got his one thousandth hit. He's 613 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: got more walks than anybody else in the history of 614 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: baseball at that age to have a thousand hits, So 615 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: just putting that out there, that's pretty stunning, and you 616 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: can keep going for all the I saw another stat too, 617 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: I'd have to find it. I have to pull that 618 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: up there, but I had to do with the amount 619 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: of times that he has led I think of the 620 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: league and walks in a month. I think I have 621 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: it here. Here you go, so fun fact here Juan 622 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: Soto won soda leads the Major League baseballs and walks 623 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: this month. That's a seventeenth time he's done it in 624 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: his career. The next most times in a month and 625 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: a player has done that before turning twenty seven Babe 626 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: Ruth and Mickey Mantle each with nine, and he's done 627 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: it seventeen times. When you start getting mentioned in like 628 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams things, I mean that 629 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: just tells you where the career is going for Sodo. 630 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, where's bonds? But you said the 631 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 2: before twenty seven thing? Because I think if you expand me, 632 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 2: I would like to hear how many months bonds led 633 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: and walks. 634 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: Well, go take it up with the stat heads. I'm 635 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: just here to report the stats, all right. Three up 636 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: and three down. Here Xander Bogart's four for four with 637 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: a homer five three win there for the Padres over 638 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. They hung on too. That that was the 639 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: weirdest part too about all that was you had the 640 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: situation where Otani gets hit in a very precarious ninth 641 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: inning too, which I was like, Oh, do you really 642 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: want to do this now? Is this the time we 643 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: want to do this? Like you really want to give 644 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: up this game? Just for the integrity they got out 645 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: of it. But still definitely one of those weirder ones. Then, 646 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: of course, the other ups Logan Webb nine strikeouts for him, 647 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: he's been brilliant. Logan Web's thirty ninth start Welsh of 648 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: seven plus innings since twenty twenty three. That's four more 649 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: than anyone else in Major League Baseballs for that span. 650 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: That's a great stat. That's a crazy stat right there. 651 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: That's a Logan Web is wildly underrated, valued every single 652 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 2: plenty and he had an awful spring. If you recall 653 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 2: this year where everybody was like, what's wrong with Logan Web? 654 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: Guess what? Nothing? Nothing. He's having his best year effort 655 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: Byron Bucks and homer twice at a twelve five victory 656 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: as well. So he's got a bunch of Homer's the 657 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: last couple of days, the downs Kevin Gosman, he got 658 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: shelled seven runs four to third. BA boo. Bad day 659 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: for Kevin Gosman. Good thing I traded him in that deal. 660 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 2: For Strider, you turn for Tommy Edmund Clail No I got. 661 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: I traded McClanahan, Alcontra and Gossman and I got Spencer Strider. 662 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: And it was a keeper league. And I think I've 663 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: done okay so far on that deal. Clay Holmes walked 664 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: everybody six to be exact yesterday, and Francis scool Anddor 665 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: went hitless in its four straight game. He's only five 666 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: for thirty eight. He becomes an interesting by low at 667 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: this point in the season two, which brings us to 668 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: today's Microsoft Chasing Challengers segment of the day, because of course, 669 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: Microsoft is just like the athletes that push boundaries and 670 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: redefine what's possible. Microsoft is looking at the business issues 671 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: and makers today and are turning challenges into opportunities. And 672 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: Microsoft meets you where you are with tools and guidance 673 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: to help you make an impact with safe, secure AI solutions. 674 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: So whatever challenges are facing, Microsoft empowers you with the 675 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: expertise to say bring it on, and this segment we're 676 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: going to talk about the challenges with rookies, because I 677 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: feel like that's the theme today. Christian Campbell got sent 678 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: down after being brilliant in the month of April, coming 679 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: on strong right out of the gate. Everybody was super excited. 680 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: Then he absolutely tanked in the month of May. Then 681 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: you have other guys who are brilliant coming up through 682 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: the system, like Nick Kurtz and Jack cagleone and then 683 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: they struggled first. Either way, patience has to be practiced here. 684 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: As we said earlier in the show, these guys are bonuses. 685 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: They are not building blocks of your rosters in redraft. 686 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: If you're doing it that way, then the bonuses are 687 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,479 Speaker 1: assets on your roster that eventually help you win leagues 688 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: or make trades to bring in other players to win leagues. 689 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: In keeper leagues is a different scenario. But if you're 690 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: using rookies as building blocks, inevitably you're going to have 691 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: too many peaks and values I think to win a 692 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: lot of championships in Redraft Fantasy. So keep this in mind. 693 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: As we have had a great year of rookies. Some 694 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: have performed well, some have not, Some have performed well, 695 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: then not performed well and gotten sent down, and others 696 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: like Dylan Cruz just we're still waiting on how that 697 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: works out at some point. So you're always going to 698 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: hit these ups and downs, these peaks and valleys. Understand 699 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: what their place is in your fantasy baseball league, and 700 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 1: if you use them correctly, they can be big difference makers. 701 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: So that is this week's Chasing Challenger segment.

For an endo tatists, 708 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: we mentioned x Ray's negative going for the MRI. Are 709 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: you worried. I'm a little worried, Like, I don't know, Okay, 710 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: you think. 711 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: I mean he's like he's always getting hurt, so I 712 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 2: always this one not like his fault, but yeah, I 713 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 2: mean I clearly like I'm like a little stressed about it. 714 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: I just want to see him back in the lineup. 715 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 2: But you know things are negative. I'm gonna hold the 716 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 2: positive all right. 717 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: The Astros have a ton of news here, some good, 718 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: some bad. Your Alvarez has yet to resume hitting. Still, 719 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: that is bad. If you have Alvarez now, he looks 720 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: like he's just gonna crush your season, which is really 721 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: sad because he's had a really good run here and 722 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: this health, unfortunately is not great. Luis Garcia, he faced 723 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: live hitters next week, or he's going to Christian Xavier 724 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: through twenty pitches in a live VP session. So Garcia 725 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: and Xavier should be back in this rotation. Well, theoretically 726 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,959 Speaker 1: they're getting Arogetti back. All of a sudden, the Astros 727 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: are getting a ton of pitching reinforcements without having to 728 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: move anything. I think that moves the needle for me 729 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: thinking about what the Astros can do this year. But 730 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: here's the problem. Without Alvarez, you don't have that big 731 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: straw that stirs that drink. So they've got to make 732 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: a move. If you have an abundance of pitching, you 733 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: look at these other teams, everyone's desperate for more of it. 734 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: Do you think you could see a move here where 735 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: the Astros flip a pitcher to try to big get 736 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: a bat here. 737 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 2: I think they could try it, but they might need 738 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 2: to go get they might need both pieces. They might 739 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: need to pitcher in a bat like the thing when 740 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: you say like Javier and Luis Garcia and then you 741 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 2: think of McCullers, it's like, oh cool, that's one spot 742 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 2: in the rotation covered. Because someone is gonna be hurt 743 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 2: at all times, so they're gonna need depth there. I 744 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 2: think they look at it, but I think the division's tough. 745 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 2: I mean, the Mariners, they just got back all of 746 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 2: their pitchers. They got their dudes back, and that's like 747 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 2: the core while the offense has been going. That's the 748 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 2: core of why they're so great. You know, if the 749 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: Rangers decided to sell out, which we don't think they're 750 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 2: going to, I think there's still a problem wheny're gonna 751 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 2: get Evaldi back. So I tend to think that the 752 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 2: Astros are probably going to just kind of see if 753 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 2: it rights itself and then not make the playoffs because 754 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 2: they don't have a ton of fantastic, like you know, 755 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 2: minor league prospects to trade from. They got a couple, 756 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 2: they brought a bunch of them up and they've been Eh, 757 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 2: they got Bryce Matthews and the miners, but I just 758 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 2: don't think I have enough bullets to go and make 759 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 2: any impactful trade. So maybe they go into a depth trade, 760 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 2: but I think there's holes offensively and on the pitching side, 761 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 2: so I don't know. I just don't think they'll be aggressive. 762 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm still looking at some of these teams unless 763 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks aside, and they're only three games out of 764 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: the wild card themselves. Like, there's not a lot of 765 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: bats out there that I feel like can really make 766 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: an impact and help right now, not on some of 767 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: these teams. And Robert's done nothing, Tony gonsol and got 768 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: moved to the sixty day IL, and apparently God Carlos Mendoza, 769 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: Mets manager, says that Montas, Frankie Montas, is gonna join 770 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: the rotation next week against the Braves. What's the over 771 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: for that game? Can I bet it? Now? I just 772 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: want to bet it because it's gonna be so. 773 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 2: Bad, like like freaking minto us, right, You're just like 774 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 2: so freaking mind and then Triple A starts, have you just. 775 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: Like yeah, well, look, I mean, why wouldn't I be 776 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: like Freggie Montas, Reggie Montas. When I look at what 777 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: they've done with every other scrappy pitcher, but he's been 778 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: terrible in the minor leagues, and I'm gonna throwhim against 779 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: the Braves the first time out. That's an awful idea. 780 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a good start. 781 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: No, if you want to throw it against the Marlins, Okay, fine, 782 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: let's see if you can get on track and maybe 783 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, Hefner can do some stuff with him. Oh 784 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: the terrible idea. 785 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just get ahead of it, though, if you're 786 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 2: gonna ask the question, no, we're not starting freaky mind. 787 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: No, we're not to forget get ahead of it. No, 788 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: Max Sures are so Mex Suser was good at his 789 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: rehab start, but he's still experiencing soreness in his thumb. 790 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: Now they say he's still gonna start anyway, But Welsh, 791 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. This is starting to get like get 792 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: This is like woodrof territory is what we're getting here. 793 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: And we promise everybody we would do the all Star 794 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: break stuff, but the show had so much rookie stuff 795 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: and everything to talk about today. So we're gonna do 796 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: that next week. So we'll figure that out. Don't worry. 797 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 1: All Star voting is gonna happen here on the show. 798 00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun bit. We're gonna set it 799 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: up for everybody. Let's get two of the best bets 800 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: of the day with joeyp and the Welsh. Let's start 801 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: in uh. Let's see with the Texas Rangers here Jacob 802 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: de Gram against the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. All give me 803 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: Texas on the run line minus one and a half 804 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: at minus won ten with da Gram on the mound 805 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: at offense is putrid. Give me the Yankees on the 806 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: run line two minus one and a half at minus 807 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: one thirteen and Max Freed against Baltimore. Sounds good. And 808 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: whenever you see the Yankees in Baltimore, that means one thing. 809 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 1: It's Aaron Judge time. Aaron Judge data home run plus 810 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: one seventy two. Nobody kills the team the way Aaron 811 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: Judge kills the Baltimore Orioles. And I know he's been cold. 812 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: It's a perfect time to heat up. The weather's getting 813 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: hot this weekend in New York. Ball is gonna fly 814 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: out of there, and Aaron Judge is gonna be hitting 815 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: home runs Welsh, Where are you going for your bets 816 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: for today? 817 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 2: I am also gonna go to Texas. I'm gonna go 818 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 2: with Jacob de Gram over strikeouts point six point five. 819 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 2: It's almost even money, which I really like that number. Again, 820 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 2: I guess I can ever pick on the Pirates. I'm 821 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 2: just gonna do it. De Gram has had I mean, 822 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 2: this is one of those where it's like he strikes 823 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 2: out two or he strikes out nine, like he just 824 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 2: lives in that territory. So Pirates a really good matchup 825 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 2: minus one oh five. I mentioned with our boy the 826 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 2: not in Jail Diddy, did he air Fuintes. He's on 827 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 2: the mound Atlanta and Miami, isn't it right? Yeah? I 828 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 2: just the Florida threw me off, So yeah, fl I 829 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 2: don't know why. But Atlanta and Miami, I'm gonna go 830 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 2: with the overruns. They've got Junk Jason Junk up there 831 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 2: and Quintes, so I love. 832 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: It's kind of weird, isn't it. Diddy's first start is against. 833 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 2: Junk well and Akunya is going to get that junk 834 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 2: out of there as well. So I'm gonna go with 835 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 2: the over total runs on that and then Milwaukee, Minnesota, 836 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 2: no run first inning, Miserowski and Joe Ryan. Miserowski was hitless, 837 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 2: you know, hitless in that first start. So I'm gonna 838 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 2: go Miserowski Joe Ryan hold it down, no run first inning. 839 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 2: That one's a little bit more juiced up.
