We are doing the show 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:20.520 as far as the live stream goes. If you guys 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:22.560 hang out with us on the YouTube, which you should, 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.239 you absolutely should. Uh the Fantasy Pro's MLB channel.

Why are we going early, Bubba, because I'm 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.000 going to be scooting off and hopefully not making Corbyn 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.600 Carroll uncomfortable, my favorite player in MLB with the jersey 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.280 on there, because I'm going to be going and securing 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.360 the Corbyn Carroll helmet for the home run contest and 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.480 just hanging out for a little bit, Bubba. No big 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:48.280 deal or anything. 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.479 Yeah, no, no, no big deal. When you text me 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.680 about this last week, I'm like, yeah, I guess I can. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.000 I can change my schedules so you can go hang 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.200 out with Corbyn Carrol. So yeah, yeah, we're all good there. 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.680 Yeah exactly. Oh do I have an echo? Donnie? You hear? 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:01.080 Does anybody else hear? 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:02.400 Echo? I do not hear an echo. 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.760 I also do not hear an echo. But let me 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.280 know if you guys are hearing anything weird, and I 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.240 will probably just sit here with my hands out during 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.000 a live show that I don't think I can. Let's see, 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.080 maybe that's you, Donnie. I don't know if anybody else 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.280 is doing that. Put on socks, Welsh, don't scare him, Michael, 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:24.880 that is actually so funny, because I if you love sandals, 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:29.320 I'm one hundred percent putting on socks in my very 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.759 very nice Nike shoes. So I because I don't want 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.600 to freak people out. I have freaky feet. I have 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.760 huge feet. I have that is fourteen bubo, So I 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.480 have big feet and they're just weird weird toes and 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.039 feeder gross feeder disgustings. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.560 I'm a thirteen wide So we got something going here. 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.840 Yeah, okay, yeah, we're back to the socks real quick. 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.640 This is very important thing. What is is it sock 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.640 sock shoe shoe or sock shoe sock. 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.560 Shoe, sock sock shoe shoe. 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.160 Okay, yeah, I don't think I don't remember. If I'm 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.520 I think I'm kind of indifferent of it. I think 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.840 I am sock shoe sock shoe though, Like it's fine. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.440 As long as you're not trying to do shoe sock, 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.960 then I think you'll be Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we've 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.520 got a whole bunch of stuff to talk about. Thank 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.840 you guys for hanging out out here a little bit 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.920 early with us. Bubba has put the SmackDown, similar to 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.680 a certain Guardians player did a White Sox player to 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.520 his internet company, because Bubba, you were internet lists. What 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.480 did you do for twenty four hours? Bubba had no 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.160 internet for twenty four hours? You were living in the 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:29.399 stone Age? What did you do? 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.840 Yeah? I already live out in the sticks, so without 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.959 the internet, the phones don't really work either. So it's 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.560 say it's a rough go. So we went to the 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:39.480 local establishment for the evening, had some times there and 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.680 actually read part of a book. Well I don't do 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.880 that very often, but yeah, but I might as well 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.440 lit a candle like I was in the Stone Age. 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.560 I'd read a book, but I still had power. It was. 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.400 It was a rough go, very very rough go. 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.720 On Friday, Bubba's out there making drawings like this bicycle 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.079 could have wings and I could be rich and I 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:57.600 could fly. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.239 I re enacted what was gonna have up and the 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.720 next night in Cleveland on the wall and it worked out. 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:05.960 So all right, so let's get into the stuff and things. 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.160 We're gonna talk to you about a lot of the 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.519 performances over the weekend. We've got your Prize Picks going 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.520 in here because leading Off is brought to you by 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.440 Prize Picks. You guys know that used that promo code 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.440 leading Off, which will tell you about here in just 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:23.800 a little bit. But Tim Anderson got knocked into the multiverse. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:29.000 Do you remember that scene if anybody watched Doctor Strange 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:34.000 Multiverse of Madness, where like Wanda was able to transform 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:39.000 her body into another multiverse. Wanda like that multiverse. Tim 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:44.000 Anderson felt that knock that JOSEU Jose Ramirez did on 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.080 him over the weekend, big old brawl. Do you see 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.080 the comments by Jose Ramirez two by the way, that 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.040 like it was stemming from the disrespect of the game. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.320 I mean, Tim Anderson, if you don't know, is relatively disrespectful, 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.480 you know, like in life, like having a second family 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.720 against his first family and stuff like that. But also 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.720 I guess baseball, and it was I think this was 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.800 just like the straw that broke the camels. 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.680 That was the accumulation of apparently a lot of stuff 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.160 that we haven't been privy to. Between these two. 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.720 We came and like and dude, Tim got up and 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.960 he just like he was ready. He's like, let's go 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.880 without hesitation. And you know, as would be said from Friday, man, 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.200 you got knocked out. He got knocked out, and he 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.599 was stumbling and all bumbly down there, and it came 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.919 out that they're both going to be serving a multi 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.880 game suspension. I'm going to present something to everybody real quick. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.600 It might scare you because, as you know, Joe has 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:41.679 talked about the AI initiative that goes on at Fantasy pros. Now, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.279 the only mistake I made here was I didn't get 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.039 this to Ethan so we could have proper sizes. But 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.440 you're going to have to follow me. But I went 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:54.480 into the Fantasy pros AI bought and I said, reenact 0:04:54.600 --> 0:05:00.839 me an image of Tim Anderson and Jose Ramirez fighting AI. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.960 And these are the images. It's gonna be bad audio, 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.120 but we can kind of try to represent them. This 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.880 is the let's see, this is the first one here, 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.880 So you got we're gonna get naked here, bubba, So 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.800 everybody on the side, you're gonna get a little bit naked. 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:17.760 So there you go. There's the first one. The scariest 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.760 part is their arms have armed into each other for AI. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.640 If you zoom in there, their arms are arming into 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.760 each other. But this is the first image that it 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.880 came out with, pretty generic. I don't know what that 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.920 symbol is. Looks like a butterfly on Jose. I'm assuming 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.400 the right is Jose Ramirez. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.640 I'm assuming so yes, because he's the one that looks 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.600 like he's landing the arm into the arm punch exactly. 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.280 Now, this is the scarier one. This is AI version 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.279 two if you want to have nightmares. And this is 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:51.000 oh no, no, oh no Ramirez. This turned away from 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.800 the Jake Paul Nate Diaz fight and this turned into MMA. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:06:00.159 Jose Ramirez's leg is melting into Tim Anderson somehow, and 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.200 they're grabbing onto each other, and they're also off the 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:03.679 ground too and Tim. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.960 It's straight up is multiverse. Now we are watching the 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.960 new new Doctor Strange in front of us. 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.279 I feel like this one is definitely in like like 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.560 Earth six one six This is definitely Tim Anderson and 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.839 they're just melting into each other. And this was AI's 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.320 that was AI's take on on the fight. 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.000 So any other thoughts and people that think AI is 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:25.840 gonna take over the world, that just shows you it's not. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.240 So we are good there, but thoughts where I don't like, 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:31.880 I don't I'm not a fan of like let's have 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.520 fights everywhere, but hey, if you're gonna fight, make it happen. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.080 And that was amazing, Like I had a tweet. I 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.520 just kept watching it gets hurt during the fight, which 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:40.080 is just tippic. 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.520 Oh my god. I saw that, like like he was 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.159 like limping off. There's a there's a backspan video and 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.400 everyone's doing stuff and all you see in the top 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.159 right is Eloy on one leg limping out and you're like, 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:51.720 come on, man. 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.560 But one of my biggest takeaways, and I'm also kind 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.120 of biased because I love this player, but Josh Naylor's 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.039 out three to six weeks and oblique injury. He was 0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.920 the first one in there with his arm cocked right 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.160 to go. If Tim Anderson somehow popped up, I'm like, 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:03.880 how in the world that's the guy I want in 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.280 my corner? That's all I'll tell you. 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.200 I will tell you what though, it was pretty amazing 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.960 to see like a moment too where I think like 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.520 mel was a the yump just like moved away, you 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.760 know how they like everybody gets very serious. The ump 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.280 was just like he moved out like it was a 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.600 hockey fight, and those two had about four seconds where 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.000 it was just both of them, got a couple of swings, 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.160 people grabbed them, and then Jose Ramirez got the shot 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.720 heard around the world and Tim Anderson, like I said, 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.280 it's to a really imform of Tim also took to 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.040 Twitter and then deleted all of his tweets because they 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.880 had the feelings and stuff too. Yeah, it was a 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.720 very very weird situation. All of this to kind of 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.120 come back around and say, the disaster from a fantasy 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.280 perspective that Tim Anderson has been this year, I think 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.440 it is exacerbated and I think you could legit justify 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.800 just making moves elsewhere. I don't know. Obviously this can 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.960 motivate players and stuff like that, but between the suspension 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.040 and some of the chaos that's going on, I'm just 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.640 not sure that you need to stick around, especially with 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:58.960 some of the you're gonna get a lot of call ups. 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.960 They are gonna be coming up soon, especially in September. 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.920 That I mean, I haven't looked Have you looked at 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:04.480 Tim Anderson's numbers lately? 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.200 He has one home run, he's been knocked out as 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.000 much as he's gone deep. 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.200 It's been great, taking as many punches as he has homers. 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.040 But like, let's see overall stature real quick, if we 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:13.560 could move. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.400 On, okay, average not stealing a bunch like it's just blah, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.760 he's blas blocked, Like, yeah, Schneider's better than. 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.600 Him, two forty four highest strike up percent. Well it's 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.640 not that high, but it's twenty one percent one Homer 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.080 nineteen RBI. Yeah, he can cut bait, man, you can 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:30.920 get cut bait. You can cut bait for sure. We 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.520 do need to see an Odor versus Jose Ramirez in 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:34.040 the future. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.640 You know that'll that'll happen. You know the celebrity boxing 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.000 some I guarantee you a door, need some cash so 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:40.560 that this will happen. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.600 Remember the what was it Select the Clay Fighters? 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.600 What was that was the best dude on MTV? What 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.800 was what was that Celebrity deathmatch? 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.520 Celebrity death it was right. Yeah, that was amazing. We 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:54.520 need a baseball version. 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.400 You need to bring that back, period, just in general. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:57.680 Just bring that back, please. Yeah. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.960 We just need someone like really talented with that type 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.120 a skill, you know, that can go out there and 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.559 that can like put them together and just do baseball 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.760 versions because we don't want this like this is this 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:11.199 is horrifying. His leg Yeah, and his leg is like broke. 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.760 It almost looks like a deer like Hosier Ramirez turned 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:14.679 into a deer in their arms. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.640 It looks like he's got a wooden pirate leg trying 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:17.640 to kick him in the stomach. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.360 Yeah, it's weird. Like and the the reason that you 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.800 know it's a I too is Tim Anderson looks like 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.520 he's actually getting a punch in so he I don't 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.960 think that's a very realistic. So that was the big 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.960 fun from the weekend fantasy implications. I think just reminded 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.720 me of like Tim Anderson is kind of how about 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:40.559 this brought in for a one run lead in the ninth. Finally, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.520 Diamondbacks Paul Seawald gives up the tying and walk off 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.080 homers in the Twins on Sunday did not retire a 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.760 batter gave up three runs. By the way, the Diamondbacks 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.080 gave up three pieces to lose all of their games 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.640 and a pretty shaky start here. Paul Seawald actually went 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.560 from like a good closer to now there are no 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.800 opportunities because they the diame actually bad. He it is 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.720 rubbed off on him and they never have save opportunities. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:05.960 Bubba. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.040 So Paul Seawall the kind of a disaster right now 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.520 looks hilariously stupid. People are apologizing about making any tweets 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.760 to me this weekend too, because of how painful it 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:14.480 was to look at. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.640 Yeah. Yeah, that was a rough appearance for the save, 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.880 one would say for Seawall. They only played five games 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.240 this week, so it even makes it like do we 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.600 even start Seawall in a in a weekly league? Dbacks? 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.079 You don't tell you, you know, it's it's gotta it's 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.600 time to you know, esk your get off the pot 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.360 here pretty quick. So and see why it's supposed to 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.480 be the guy that made it happen. It's it's not good, 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:36.120 not good, bob. 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.040 Yeah, and I'm trying to look I didn't look ahead 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.320 of they got the Dodgers. You know what I would 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:42.920 I don't think I would start him in a weekly 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:44.400 that's crazy. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:45.800 My weekly leagues, I benched him. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.160 H Yeah, unless you're in a situation where it's like 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.040 that's your RP and you don't have any other good options, 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:52.880 which is very likely, then you can. But if you 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.320 have options, I don't want. I don't know who the 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.200 back half of the week is. I guess it could 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.840 look like Friday because he's got the Dodgers up early, 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:03.240 so that should be zero opportunities, or even better, they'll 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.440 throw him in an opportunity that's not a safe situation 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.560 and then they got the Padres. That's an awful week 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.959 for the Diamondbacks. That might win one game. 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:10.400 Rough. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.479 Yeah, so there's not gonna be a lot of opportunities. 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:13.920 So it's looking pretty bad there. 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:14.559 C j. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.760 Abrams this weekend in electric that's how rode a World 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.680 even put it four for five homer, two steals, Sunday's 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.800 win since July started. Coming into Sunday a three to 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.719 zero two batting average with three homer sixteen steals in 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.480 twenty nine games, which is bonkers. I ask you how 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:35.040 far up has CJ. Abrams brought his value? Because it's 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.840 like a it's a no brainer that you know he's 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.880 the guy. You start him, you feel great weekly leagues, 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.400 you don't even think twice about it. But I think 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.280 his value has like exponentially changed with the turnover he's 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:44.959 had in production. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.040 Yeah, it's been tremendous. We knew the speed was there. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:49.880 I was talking about in preseason as a guy that 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.240 I liked as a value just because he's finally on 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:53.680 a team that's gonna let him play every day. They 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.319 have no reason not to play him. He's still like 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.160 what twenty two or something. Yeah, we're trying to write 0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:59.920 him off because of a bad kind of couple short 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.320 stints in San Diego. He's starting to show his talent. 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.640 He's getting comfortable. I think the power's better than we 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:05.960 thought it would be, at least for me. You're the 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.559 prospect guy. Maybe I'm wrong there, but the speed was legit. 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.000 The Nats're also playing better, which is helping the run 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.440 production a ton. I think they're playing better than people 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.760 to think, So I'm a big fantasy j Abrams. I 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.520 think he moves into that tyros strata discussion next year 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:20.760 where we kind of had it this past year, whereas 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.679 he worth like a top you know, one to one 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.120 twenty pick. He might even keeps doing this. He might 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.640 be like a seventy five to one hundred pick just 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:28.319 because I. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.480 Think he's I think he's a top seventy five pick. 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.280 He's going to go fifteen thirty this year. The barrel 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.800 percentage is tripled and he's moving. 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.000 Talking Boba shed at that pace. 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.319 Yeah, well no, I mean statistically that would actually be 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.720 a funny, like you know, old school IL player debates, 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.400 go back and look, but you know that four percent 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.360 range is kind of that, like what are we doing here? 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.000 But he's got it up to six. He's got a 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.680 MAXIV of one twelve, just you know, showing the ability 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.920 to tap into it. Launch angle's gone up, the hard 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.960 hit has gone up. He just looks good, he looks solid. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:12:59.400 I think it's a big change. This guy would love 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.080 to trade for going into next year. Just I know 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.080 it's a little dependent because it's tough. Because he's hot 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.200 right now. I would love to get him going into 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.439 next season, especially if I am a rebuilding team, I 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.560 would be willing to sell out a little bit more. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.800 Some of you guys play in like contract leagues. If 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.200 someone's trying to go all in. I got my autmo league, 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.560 I have ze J Abrams, so a super smart draft 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.240 of this year. I got everybody in every trade trying 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.920 to send me, trying to get Abrams. But like you know, 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.960 can I take on a forty eight dollars one sodo 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.600 that I won't keep to go for it to trade 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.240 my Abrams right now? Who's two bucks? No? I can't. 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:35.240 And I got a chance. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.679 No, and I can't pull the trigger on that one. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.360 Gary Sanchez a couple homers over the weekend, had one 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.160 I think on Sunday, two on Friday. Now's five homers 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.680 over the last week, including three this weekend. Fifteen homers 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.719 since May thirty, first most of any primary catcher and 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.720 tied for six most of any catcher. Just in general, 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.320 the average absolutely stinks. Your thoughts do you think? I mean, 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.720 the power is there, but the batting average is absolutely sink. 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.240 Rest of season comfortable top twelve catcher, no doubt or 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:07.960 is there question? 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.320 There's always question with Gary Sanchez. I'll say that much 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:13.760 just to be open and honest about it. But I 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.960 think he could be because because of the power production 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.000 that he's providing. We always know he's an average Sinkle. 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.120 We know that for a fact. The only reason why 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.240 I say maybe is, you know, just perusing the waiver 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.160 wire for stuff. This past weekend you got Freddy Furman 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.680 from Kannasy's playing great camp be Sinos not bad. So 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.400 it just depends on how that playing time shakes out 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.160 in San Diego. There's a slew of catchers that are 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.160 available out there that can make a push in the 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.960 last two months. But for Gary, i'd say top twelve. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.080 I think it's very very in play for him, it's 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:40.480 right there. 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.120 We talked about it on CBS last week, was like 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:47.640 Yan your diez like I would like to. I think 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.000 the key thing I would point back out is when 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.120 you're on that back half of the catchers. I think 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.800 in most like standard leagues, there's enough guys that are 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.760 this big mush. They're all the same that you could 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.520 write a hot hand. So if you want the homer 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.320 chase is a great Yan here, and I think you 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.200 can chase for average. If they lose it, you just 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.800 go pick up the next guy. B t or I'm 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:10.800 sorry E week asked Sanchez or cal Rally. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.280 No, you take oh, you take cayl Rawley. For me, 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.800 just because the biggest thing is you're locked in his 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.960 playing time, where Sanchez still could split a lot. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.640 Yeah, Uripra is going to return to the Marlin starting 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.040 rotation here on Monday against the Reds. So far this 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.960 season it's been great. Two three sixty one point zero 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.920 nine whip and eleven starts. He's an absolute must start 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.360 rested season. There's really no analysis to go through. You 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.080 just got to get him out there. I would be 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.680 trying to get plays. Actually, a betting play we're going 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.360 to talk about here in a little bit is on him. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.240 And Chris Saale fired off four and one third scoreless 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.040 innings in a rehab start on TRIPAA, which is great. 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.880 This was on Sunday, struck out seven walk none, allowed 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.840 three hits over fifty three pitches, and he is eligible 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.560 to return on Thursday. So the question is, Bubba, we 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.520 could obviously talk about it on Wednesday. I'll ask you 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.560 right now, are you comfortable, especially in a weekly league, 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.160 you'd have to throw him out right now? Would you 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.640 be throwing him out? You're gonna wait it out for uh, 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.840 you know, it's starting these guys like off of injury 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:10.600 is kind of black. 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.040 It is very tricky coming up injuries. But most of 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.920 your teams are handling a lot of injuries right now. 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.360 So if you have a better option, yeah, you can 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.120 wait on Sale. But I'd probably be I'm like eighty 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:22.320 percent leaning starting Sales. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.640 Put it that way, like, would you start Brandon Fott, 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.920 who's probably gonna have the Dodgers or Chris Sale? 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.440 That's a good one. That's why you do this for 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.600 a living. I'll take Sale. 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:35.920 What's a matchup? Who are they playing? 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.200 I can find that out for you here real quick. Yeah, 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:39.600 if he. 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.200 Goes Thursday, if he if he comes off the il 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.720 on Thursday, that would put him up against the Royals. 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why you take You kind of 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:48.200 take that one. 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.120 It looks like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would bench. 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.600 I would bench fought in this garbage week for a guy. 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.520 It's a great It's great because I have fought going 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.520 in a lot of places, So that's a I just 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.640 don't have Sale. But that's a very very interesting deal. 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.400 Like Road to Wire has their daily pitching matchups, He's 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.359 not even on the list yet because it's still up 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.000 in the air, so it's a tough That's the other 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.000 part is like what if for some reason like, oh no, 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:10.800 we're gonna like wait a little bit longer than you 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.200 don't even get to use him this week. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.720 Yeah, which would be black. Yeah, that's a possibility. That's 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.960 a danger that you've got here, a little rookie lookie action. 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.240 Davis Snyder continued a strong, strong debut, going four for 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.520 five with a homer for RBI on Sunday against Boston. 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:30.639 Twenty four year old now over three games six ninety 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.960
