It's great to see my peanuts and cracker 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.120 Jacks again. I missed you all, Love you, and shout 0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.560 out to the guy who's in the top of the 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:00.880 chat who sat. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.480 Nemo this week, So good on you. Well done with 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:04.200 that four for four. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.160 Let's start with some fun, my boy, Ellie Dela Cruz 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.320 Homer twice one and inside the Parker three for four, 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.440 four run scored, a stolen base, A fun day for 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.320 Ellie Dela Cruz. The fun to watch factor for Ellie 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:16.959 de la Cruz is off the shart squash. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.840 We know this. We know we have to take the 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:19.519 good with the bad. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.160 Sometimes the bad's gonna be those strikeouts in the swing 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:23.680 and miss, and that's just part of the show. 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.440 But when the show turns. 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.560 Like this, like it did yesterday, oh baby, Ellie Dela 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.000 Cruz is a special special talent. Which you think of 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.919 the Ellie performance from yesterday, because I know the Fantasy 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.480 managers out there certainly loved it. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.560 This is exactly what Ellie is built around. He's built 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:45.120 around these explosive games, these explosive weeks, and it's all 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.560 gonna be about consistency. But this, I think is rubber 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.600 meets the road at the end of the day with 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.200 Ellie Ellie right here by the way I pictured in 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.679 my background. This is what you've got to figure out 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.880 if you're an Ellie owner. I'm gonna mostly assume that 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.240 you know what ride you're in for. You know that 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:06.840 you're in for probably lots of strikeouts, bad batting average, 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.040 bad swings, but you're gonna just at the end of 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.040 the day, you're gonna have a guy that's probably gonna 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.320 steal fifty five to sixty bases this year, is probably 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.040 gonna hit twenty homers, but might hit two thirty and 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.560 have big swings. The reason I'm saying this, though, is 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.040 people see this experience and they're like, let mean, look 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.079 at the chat in all this Ellie loving all the Elli, 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.679 but everybody also is talking about how ridiculously bad Ellie's 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.280 swing and miss game still is, which it still is. 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.760 Talking about the expected batting average, which is not even 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.520 two twenty, it's two sixteen. He's a forty one percent 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.560 K percentage, his walk percentage is down, his hard hit 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.800 percentage is down. So I say all this to say, 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.640 just understand what version of Ellie exists, and if you 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.600 can stomach the swings, he's great to have. But this 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.760 is also the opportunity if you've wanted out of that business, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.840 to get out off of these big, massive swings because 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.240 the bad stuff is still there. The strikeouts are there, 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.360 the batting average is not there. But he is still 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.680 the fastest player in baseball. Two homers, six stolen bases 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.520 so far, and he has doubled his barrel percentage. I 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.159 just make sure people have that perspective of Ellie because 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.159 I really don't think this tells us anything that we 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.560 should like be like, eh, should we buy an Ellie? 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.640 Should we sell it now? It's just like you should 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.760 know exactly what you're getting into. He's fun. He's the 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.240 most fun fantasy player out there, and yesterday was a 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.479 prime example of him flying around inside the park homers, 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.640 big monster crush bombs. This is Ellie. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.040 Trent has an interesting point of view. Ellie's fun. Not 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.080 a great fantasy player, but a lot of fun. Nonethe last, 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:39.440 I don't know. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.119 I think I was just a great fantasty player. 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.359 I think he's a great fantasy player. I think that 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.080 he's just sometimes not a great fantasy player. And that's 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:48.600 just part of the ride with Ellie. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.920 And he's so young. He's also a you know, he's 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.200 also a taller player too. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.600 Sometimes you know a little bit, you know, it takes 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.479 some guys a little longer who are the bigger side 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.520 to learn the strikes on the major league level, it's 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.200 a little bit different up there, I feel like, so I. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:03.640 Would just be patient with this trend. 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.360 By the way, your hair is so high today, it's 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.680 barely in the frame, like when you get very excited. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.000 Yeah, I get up there and Haros just out of 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:10.400 the frame. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.839 It's like cropped out. Yeah, you know, like at the 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.159 getting back to Ellie and not my hair. I think 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.520 there are improvements that are happening. If that's the other 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.880 thing that people are wondering, like, hey, you know, is 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.360 this changing? I think some things are changing. He's barely 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.479 in the ball even more. He's really crushing fastballs so 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.800 far this year. He's hitting breaking pitches a little bit better. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.039 So those are like the good signs. And I think 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.560 Ellie is an awesome head to head player. I think 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.799 he's a pretty good roto player in what he does 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.479 big in roto is going to be great. But you 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.800 got to make up for him. You probably need to 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.960 have like Luisa Rise and Joung Hoolee and stuff like 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.719 that to make up. But at least a great fantasy player, 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:49.599 and he's a better. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.400 Roto player to be honest with you, like the batting 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.480 average is going to hurt sometimes, but it's more of 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.720 these strikeouts where like in the points leagues. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.440 For me point he's stinky, he is. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.440 It's a different common I don't want to say stinky. 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.960 I think that's too far, but kind of stinky different. 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.240 You can keep things thinking. Let's talk about Blake Snell. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.640 Lasted three innings, allowed three runs against the Giants, so 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.239 guess exactly what we thought. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.400 The velo was in the same range. 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.799 But again he looked like a guy who I would 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.719 say from the highlights I saw yesterday working his way back, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.080 so encouraging that he was out there. 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:24.840 In the month of April. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:25.400 That's good. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.839 It's only the ninth I assume the Blake Snell that 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.080 we're used to seeing we'll see somewhere towards the end 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:32.880 of the month. You think that's being a little bit 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.520 too you know, bearish, or you think that's actually maybe sooner. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.760 No, I think that's about right. I mean, this was 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.400 one of the bets yesterday. If you guys listened to 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.360 the show, it was the under six and a half. 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.320 They dropped six and a half on us, like right away, 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.600 and this had to do with workload of like what 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.440 they would let Blake Snell do in the first game 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.680 versus one of the lowest walk teams in baseball in Washington, 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.920 and it worked out. It worked out well, But I'd 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.120 say this seventy two pitches, this is a team that 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.480 doesn't like strike out a ton and walk more. In Washington, 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.480 he had a forty four percent swing and whiff rate 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.240 on seventy two pitches. He had double digit whiffs on 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.000 every single pitch he threw. So the guy the stuff 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.000 is still there. There weren't. The slider was like a 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.440 little bit less, but everything was still about on target. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.360 Fifty percent with rate on the fastball, the changeup, which 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.720 has been so good, fifty percent with rate. He threw 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.760 that around eighteen percent of the time. I think it's 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.840 just getting into a groove, allowing him to go ninety 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.160 five one hundred innings or of pitches so he can 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.720 get into like the fifth inning. That's about what Blake 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.200 Snell's about. I thought it was great. I thought it 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.320 was fine. That's what I expected. That's why I went 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.240 on an under against him in the first game. I 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.280 think he'll get right pretty quick and we'll still see 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.360 the snell that's like two or three walks a game 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.440 and like eight to nine strikeouts a game. That's who 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:43.480 he's going to be all year long. 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.640 It's a great question from Tim Sawyer. Who do you 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.960 see as the better long term option and fantasy Gunner 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:49.760 or Ellie? 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:50.200 See. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:55.440 I think Gunner's probably the safer high floor guy, but 0:07:56.000 --> 0:08:00.200 Ellie has that best in baseball potential like that. That's 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.280 the thing about Ellie, and I don't think Gunner has that. 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.480 I think Gunner is a very good player. So Gunner 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.720 to me is like the safer long term fantasy investment. 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:08.760 But it's only one guy has a chance to be 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.400 like cream of the crop, top three pick. And I 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.120 don't think it's Gunner that's me personally as good as 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:17.360 Gunner is, Ellie has that possibility as he gets older 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.160 and matures as a player. I don't know what your 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:19.560 take is. 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.080 That's mine. I'd like both of them. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.480 But that's kind of a cop out, crappy answer is that, like, 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:24.920 are you talking like dynasty? 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:26.960 He just says better long term option. I mean better 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.520 long term option, like Gunner is the safer high floor guy. Yeah, 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.400 then I don't think like investment wise I don't think 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.920 you're ever going to be upset about whereas there is 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.120 potential to be upset about Ellie's other crews. Maybe he 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.800 doesn't make the advancements we hope over time. Maybe he 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.000 is always going to be this guy who is, you know, 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.199 brilliant some weeks another week's struggle bust. I don't know, 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.240 he is only April, but I mean, I always want 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:48.920 the upside guy. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.280 I agree the upside is Ellie. But in my Dynasty ranks, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.280 I had Ellie really really high. I moved him down 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:59.080 under gunner and really it's just about like it doesn't 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.040 look even though he is barreling the ball better, forty 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.240 plus percent k percentage is really bad and like, how 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.439 long is this going to maintain? Is this going to hold? 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.680 I'm a little bit. I'm just worried the swing and miss. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.120 Plus this team is making no commitment to hitting him 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:13.559 high in the order. It doesn't matter if he just 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.680 hit two homers. I don't know, Like these these games 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:18.679 are awesome, and this is what's so tough about Ellie. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.800 The game we just had, that's a game where we 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.199 sit here and we talk and we're like, by the 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.240 way Ellie could be the best player in baseball. Then 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.800 we forget, you know, the previous like five games where 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:28.880 he's striking out fifty percent of the time and he's 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.079 hitting six or seven in the orders. So I think 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.040 Gunner is the safer bet long term, big hard hit numbers. 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.800 He does steal, he's gonna hit thirty homers, MVP like player. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.880 I just think if Ellie hits over two fifty one year, 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.599 he's gonna be like the best player in baseball. I 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.480 still know if that's ever gonna happen, and he's not 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.719 really showing the signs yet, but I do still think 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.160 he can lead baseball in stolen bases, and I think 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.120 he can lead in just wow moments. 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.199 Overall in baseball. He's a forty to forty potential player. 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.400 And I don't think that's hyperbole, like that's and again 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.800 the emphasize, you know, with the capitol p here. But 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.480 it's a great question that tim ask I like the 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.720 good questions. Peenos a cracker Jack's bringing good questions today. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.720 Otani three for five with a solo homer yesterday. Also 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.480 Bailey ober Nice bounce back seven K's one run five, 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.800 So everybody can calm down, Uh, tailor too. Zach's Zach 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.920 Gallon didn't get the decision, but three runs in five 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.400 innings struck out ten Rockies. But again it's the Rockies, 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.160 so this is your I went out of Zach Gallen moment. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.280 This is your opportunity. God, just I think I Rockies 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:29.439 may well look. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.560 Charlie the Rockies. Zach Eflin, on the other hands, runner 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.120 five runs, so now we're back to the other version. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.960 So very jecculin hide season for Zach Efflin. Again it 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.199 was lost to the Angels too. The Angels not exactly 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.400 the greatest lineup. I saw a stat that Mike Trout 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.160 has his last ten homers, he has ten RBIs off 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:46.280 of God, that's depressing. 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.160 I think he's got five homers on the year with 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:48.840 five RBI. 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:50.640 You go back to last year it was the same thing. 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.920 So it's kind of codified baseball knocking it out of 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:53.400 the Both of. 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.400 These guys, I want to say, are frustrating. Gallon screwed 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.160 my under four and a half first five. For that, 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.880 I'm sorry, not gall On. E Flyn Eflin giving out. 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.720 He had two outs in the fourth and then gave 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.600 up a stupid bloopy hit. Pitching to a lot of contact, 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:13.320 and Gallen is I'm legit. I think I'm like, I 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:14.920 kind of want to move on. Like I've been kind 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.080 of defensive about Gallen. It's is three straight starts. The 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.200 stuff doesn't look I don't care that he had the 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.840 fifteen strikeouts. I tweeted this to the first three innings, 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.559 he threw twenty four curveballs. He just decided I'm throwing 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.520 curveballs this game. In the second inning, he threw eleven 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.400 of them. So check this out. His fastball stunk. It 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.960 was down again over a mile. Prior year, on average 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.120 had a nine percent with rate, but he had a 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.559 fifty two percent with rate on his curveball because he 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.440 just decided I'm now going to throw this forty percent 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.360 of the time. It was a weird start. Guy started 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.240 to catch up a little bit later, think I think 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.800 Gallen is reeling. I'm I'm very frustrated through three starts, 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.400 and if I could get even value, I just don't 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.480 know if I want to be in that business. He 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.640 could write it, and this was the start of maybe 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.319 him writing it with this weird curveball thing. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:02.920 But I don't know. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:04.960 Man as someone that watches him every single start. He 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.600 just doesn't look right and you don't feel like you 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.280 can get a six inning, no no run game out 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:11.560 of him. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:11.880 Right now. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.000 He's given up three a game easy Spencer Turnbull six 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.360 shout out of innings Monday a good star for him. 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.880 Thirteen to one k walk rate so far. Ratio there, 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:22.840 Luis Castillo, that's one we got to talk about now. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.880 A lot of people have already talked about in the chat. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.360 Nine hits, four runs, five innings lost of the Blue Jays. 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.960 So the last time we talked about CASTEO said, I'm 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.080 not really worried because the strikeouts were there, all this stuff. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.880 I'm not panicking yet, but I am worried. Welsh, where 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.760 are you when it comes to Castillo here? Yeah? 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.760 I mean the wiffs are, They're just not there. At 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.240 twenty two percent wift rate, he had eleven on the game. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.480 Brios was a lot more effective. Everything was down again, 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.959 it was down like a mile per hour on the fastball. 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.240 He has not righted so far this year. I don't know. 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.440 I mean, I want to see him throw more secondaries. 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.959 He was forty percent fastball in this kind of I 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.400 don't know if you can blame it, but like Herby's 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.000 kind of been down, Castillo's kind of been down. I 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.280 wonder if there's something in. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.040 Having an injury, like what's going on with the Seattle pitchers, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:08.560 like something's. 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.080 Could it be the catching too, I don't know, could 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:11.959 like Kyle rally be I don't know where it is 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:12.800 right now to be very. 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:14.240 Interesting there last year. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.480 I mean, look, that's a great point you saw, you know, 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.840 even last year, like Saint louis right that that downgrade 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.960 from Yadi or Molina to anyone. 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.360 Else affected that pitching staff. But there's a big change there. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.640 I'm less worried about Castille than I am Gallon right now. 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:29.400 I really. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.120 If we can break that guarantee, you could get Castillo 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:34.760 for Gallon straight up in the trade right now after 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:35.800 the ten King, I would do it. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:36.200 I would. 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:37.800 I would usually do yeah, I know, and bolt of 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.440 people after. Like I kind of like about Gallon. Everyone's 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.320 like ten K's it's the Rockies. That's equivalent to five 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.000 strikeouts on other teams. And imagine if there were good hitters, 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.600 he would have give up more runs. Like watch Gallon, 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:52.559 he doesn't look right. He was. I appreciate him completely 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.920 knowing what he didn't have and being like, I'm gonna 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.360 throw a bunch of curve balls and stuff. I don't 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.360 know how long that's gonna last. I think someone pointed out, 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.560 like Castillo kind of a slow starter. That definitely might 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.560 be intact. Watch the stuff if it ticks back up. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.720 But I still think the stuff is good. He had 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.520 a thirty two percent wfright on the fastball. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:09.480 You know. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.120 The change up maybe just needs to be a little 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.040 bit more part of it. I'd like to see him 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.880 playing around Luis Castillo a little bit, but there is 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.319 something with the Mariner's pitching staff. Watch Kirby tonight. 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.680 All right, we'll keep an eye on all those guys 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.160 because that certainly does make a bit of a difference. 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.800 I want to give away some free stuff too.

I know it's hot. 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.240 Who's on this list? Actually yesterday but again three for 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.000 five for the homer three ribies love that mister Alvarez 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.080 in Houston three for five, two homers and Brandon Neimo. 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.320 Full of a full with not one but two homers. 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.800 That first bomb, by the way, I mean, does he 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.040 just absolutely turned on it every time he starts getting going. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.480 By the way, I'm kind of like, dangn why don't 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.840 I have like more Brandon Nemo share Nimo? 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:21.640 Well, I mean I feel like we talked about him, like, 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.160 I mean, how many mocks did we do where I 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.840 took him? Because he's this guy that gonna floats around 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.720 there and he gets on base, he's got some pop. 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:29.920 No, he's not gonna steal. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:31.720 Maybe he'll still ten bases on the year, maybe if 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.720 you get lucky, like, but he's just a good baseball player. 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.760 And it's funny because the boring good baseball players that 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.480 are gonna, you know, score eighty five ninety runs and 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.240 you know, give you, you know, decent stats across the board, 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.200 they kind of fall through the cracks sometimes in ADP 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.760 because everyone get so excited about the what if guys 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.240 and they get really sour about, you know, some of 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.840 the guys who have injuries or older players, and the 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.920 guys like Brandon Nimo just kind of fall through the cracks. 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.000 And he was a perfect example on the outfield of 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.760 a great late value pick, and not because of yesterday, 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.480
