1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome back into another episode of the cycle.

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: I am your host, Mike Maher. I am joined once

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: again by Kelly Kirby, and this is actually going to

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: be our last episode of the season, at least in

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: terms of the in season content. We're going to come

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: back in a few weeks and do kind of a

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: season recap look ahead to twenty twenty six, but with

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: everyone in head to head leagues or not everyone, most

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: people in head to head leagues having their championships next week,

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: and if you don't, and if you're playing that final

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: week as your championship week, you need to talk to

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: your commissioner and fix that because no one should be

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: playing in final week in any league. And so we're here,

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: we're going to close things out. We're going to talk

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: about start, sit and decisions for the final week plus

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: of the season. If you're obviously, if you're in roto,

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: that last week still matters, but we're gonna be hyper

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: focused on next week and try to close things out

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: and get you guys a championship. And with that, Kelly,

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: how are you doing today?

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: I'm doing pretty well. I'm a commissioner in a home

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: league that goes all the way through the last week,

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: and I tried to change it, and it was like

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: I had asked to change a holy tradition that could

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: not possibly go away. And I'm like, okay, well, if

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: you all want, if you all want to figure out

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: that mess, like you know, knock yourself out, and they do.

28
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of crazy.

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: So I hate that. I hate that you would play

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: like a whole season and then have to start, you know,

31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: oh Tani sitting three times the final week, you just

32
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: lose your championship and you're like, awesome, this was a

33
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: great use of my time for six months. Yeah, that's brutal. Obviously,

34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: in rodo you play the whole season even if it

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: gets waggy at the end, you know, you have so

36
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: much built up it doesn't really matter. But yeah, you

37
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: should change that. You should just do it anyway and

38
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: don't tell anyone. Yeah, or you should just like our

39
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: company league, just end the year and met exactly.

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: Like four weeks is a good sample size, let's call

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: it good.

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And I will say we're going to get

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: into some starts to decisions. I tried to pick some

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: interesting names that you know, either players who are definitely

45
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: on your team, or players who may be on your

46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: ir or who you know could be available in certain leagues,

47
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: and just kind of talk about whether or not you

48
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: want to start them in the final week. But I

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: will also say, obviously, there are a bunch of you

50
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: out there with your own lineups, with your own specific players,

51
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: with your own specific start sit questions, and so toss

52
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: them in the comments and we'll reply, you know, over

53
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: the weekend and help you out, because you know, we

54
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: don't have enough time to go through everyone's potential lineup

55
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: because there are like three hundred players. All right with that,

56
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: let's jump right in. Oh, I should also say bad

57
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: hosting by my job, by me, I keep starting a stopping,

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: But this is going to be a different episode. I

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: kind of already like teased that. But normally we do

60
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: like a like a rounding the basis with four different

61
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: like mini segments. Then we jump into waivers and we

62
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: jump into streaming target targets. We're going to do all

63
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: of that in rounding the Basis. So all four of

64
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: our bases this week are going to be focused on

65
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: start sit players to add streaming pitchers. It's all just

66
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: going to be one big episode right off the bat,

67
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: and so let's kick it off the first base, start

68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: sit decisions, and I went through to start this, I

69
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: went through our hitter hitter matchup raider on the Fantasypros

70
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: dot com my playbook tool, and I looked at the

71
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: top teams to target for hitters or hitters with not

72
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: necessarily the best like the teams to target not necessarily

73
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: with like the best hitters, but with the best matchups.

74
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: And so the top five teams with the best matchups

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: for their hitters facing opposing pitchers are the Diamondbacks, Braves, Tigers, Rangers,

76
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: and Marlins. And the teams with the worst pitching matchups

77
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, Raised, Guardians, Astros, Giants, and Royals. And so,

78
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: just as you're kind of filling out your lineups, if

79
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: that can be a tie breaker, or you know, you're

80
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: kind of deciding between a few players, if they're on

81
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: one of those first five teams, it's probably better than

82
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: if they're on one of those second five teams. Obviously

83
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: that covers a lot of players, but you know, especially

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: in you know, focusing on you know, a week to week,

85
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: this one final week, matchups matter a lot. So the

86
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: first name I wanted to jump into is atalist Garcia,

87
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: who is returning from the IL. He has six games

88
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: this final week, and he has pretty good matchups because

89
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: he's on the Rangers. He's on that first list, and

90
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: so Kelly, I'll I'll toss it. I have a bunch

91
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: of names here. I think we have nine names that

92
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: I thought were interesting. So I'll toss it to you.

93
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Are you interested in starting at least Garcia. He's supposed

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: to return, I believe this weekend. But are you just

95
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: ready to throw him right back in your lineup for

96
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: the championship?

97
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: Oh? I mean, I'm looking at his yearly stats, like

98
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. I I think like if I've been

99
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: streaming an outfielder, right like, if there's somebody that I'm

100
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: I picked up specifically for just like one week or something,

101
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: then yeah, I'll drop that guy and I'll put it.

102
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: I'll put Garcia back in just because you know, he

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: has the that are worth it. It's still he still

104
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: has I think that the ceiling is higher, but he

105
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: doesn't offer a ton of floor, so it's you know,

106
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 2: it's it's a risk. But yeah, if I have somebody

107
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: that I think is expendable, that has been not great

108
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: in the last two weeks.

109
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: I would rather have course, you Yeah, the thing I

110
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: like about him is he's kind of a little bit

111
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: of everything, Like there's some power, there's some speed, and

112
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: he's going to hit in the middle of that lineup.

113
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: And his season long numbers are a little bit down

114
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: for him, but you know, he did miss some time,

115
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: and so over the course of a full season it

116
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: would be pretty similar to what he did last year.

117
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: But in one hundred and twenty five games, he has

118
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: eighteen home runs, thirteen stolen bases, two thirty five average

119
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: betted two twenty four last year, and so those home

120
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: runs and steals, that's a pretty good pace considering one

121
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: hundred twenty five games. But also in August, in nineteen

122
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: games in August, he batted to eighty eight with three

123
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: home runs and three stolen bases. So he was doing

124
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: pretty well before missing time, and so that makes it

125
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: a little bit intriguing. But I do get nervous. It's

126
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: such a small window you have here he's just coming

127
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: off the eyl. If he comes off and he like

128
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: is rusty at all, it's terrible, Like it's ruin your week.

129
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: So that like like you said, it's kind of like

130
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: a desperation move. He's very intriguing, but also there's risk there.

131
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: This one is interest. This next one is interesting for

132
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: a different reason because he's been start and forget in

133
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: your lineups all year. But now we're we're talking about

134
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: one week. What about Alex Bregman, who over I looked

135
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: at a lot of hitters over the last two weeks,

136
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: I kind of I look at that throughout the season,

137
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: and over the last two weeks he has a one

138
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: to fifty five batting average. He's two hundred and seventieth

139
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: in VBR to seventy. That's bad. You know, you want

140
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: to be like the top. You know, twenty forty of

141
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: those fifty to seventy is bad. Our filter only goes

142
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: to three hundred until you have to adjust to filter.

143
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: So to seventy of three hundred not good. Over the

144
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: last two weeks, he does have the top ten hitter

145
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: matchup and he has six games though, and so it

146
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: seems kind of ridiculous to consider the benching himber of

147
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: the final week. But also the numbers for two weeks

148
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: have not been good. So and he's probably not gonna

149
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: run too considering what he's been doing all season, So

150
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: are you considering it's also the weakest position in fantasy, So,

151
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: like you might just not be able to bench Alex Bregman.

152
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: But what about you. I assume there's some concern there,

153
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: but you're maybe leaving him in your line up. Probably

154
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: leave him into your lineup.

155
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the third basement thing. Who do you have

156
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: that could possibly replace? Again, the potential that he has.

157
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: I mean, his second half has not been great at all.

158
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: He hasn't homeward since August. Like, I know, we're only

159
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: eleven days in the September, but it's been it's been

160
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: really ugly. So again it's but it's still Alex Bregman.

161
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: He if he has a top ten hitter matchup, I'm

162
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: going to roll with it. He's in a pretty decent lineup.

163
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: They are playing for something, so he will play. I think, Yeah,

164
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: you just I don't. I don't believe that there would

165
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: be a lot of other people available that I would

166
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: start over him. So I would roll, but I wouldn't

167
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: like it.

168
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: What if it's what we talked about a couple of

169
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: weeks ago. What if it's the loss of Roman Anthony.

170
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: What if it's just ruined everything in that whole lineup.

171
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: Well, I mean there's definitely that Karma situation or whatever,

172
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: like you know, somebody made the universe mad. But I

173
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: feel like I feel like bringing is still your best option.

174
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if you have him, it's you know,

175
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: we talked probably a month or so ago at this

176
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: point about you know, the back and forth of you know,

177
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs of you know, the dance with

178
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: who Brunya or the getting out of a bad relationship,

179
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: and this, despite the recent performance, it feels more like

180
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: a dance with who Brunia situation than you know, than

181
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: a bad relationship. What about a different third baseman who

182
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: maybe has been a very tumultuous relationship for years. What

183
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: about Royce Lewis, who let me pull up the stats

184
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: I have that over the last two weeks thirteenth and

185
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: VBR two sixty nine batting average, four home runs, and

186
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: so's he's doing one of those hot streak things that

187
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: he does when he's upright, But what if he gets

188
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: heard on Monday and you just don't get at third

189
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: basement for the entire week. So are you taking the

190
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: risk with starting Royce Lewis? Or are you avoiding him.

191
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's it's actually interesting, right, like if

192
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: you had Royce Lewis and Alex Bregman like this is

193
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: this is a toss up honestly, because Lewis has been

194
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: like yeah, if you you know, I mean, if Royce

195
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: has been hanging out in your ale spottle season. But yeah,

196
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: I think I wouldn't mind rolling with him. You know, again,

197
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: when we're talking about weekly versus non weekly leagues, that's

198
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: obviously a much bigger role of the dice. But his

199
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: second half has been significantly better, more power, he's scoring runs,

200
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: he's hitting you know, he's batting people in. So I'm

201
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: not quite as afraid to start him. But yeah, I

202
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: mean he could. He could pull us on muscle on

203
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: Monday and then that would be the end of it.

204
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: So but I think between the two, I would, honestly

205
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: I would consider I think I would start Voyce, which

206
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 2: is surprising. But now that I've said that, that's where

207
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: I'm at.

208
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: Well, here's the other thing that could be a tiebreaker.

209
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: So Bregman's been called Lewis has been hot, the twins

210
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: are they are twenty fourth and the hitter I have

211
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: to look up the actual name of as Icky Butcher

212
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: in the name the weekly Hitting Matchups, but I think

213
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: it's like the Hitter Matchup Planner something like that. But yeah,

214
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: we'll just call it hitter Matchups. It's twenty fourth, which is,

215
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, not good, it's toward the bottom. But he

216
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: does have seven games. However, of those seven games, one

217
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: of them is a doubleheader, so there's a decent chance

218
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: he's not going to play in one of those games,

219
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: so it's probably more like six games. And they get

220
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Guardians, so it's Carlos Rodon, Chel Hitler,

221
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: Luis Heel, Sander Biby, Gavin Williams and then we're not

222
00:10:58,559 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: sure who the Guardians are going to start at the

223
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: end of the week. So like not like the worst matchups,

224
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: but not the best either. Whereas Bragman gets six games

225
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: against the Athletics and Rays at the Athletics at the Rays,

226
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: so two good ballparks, and he gets Jeffrey Springs, Barnett, JT. Ginn, Houser, Pepio,

227
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: so pretty good pitching matchups.

228
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's I would like Bregman if he had

229
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: more lefties. I think like and I always think J. T.

230
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: Jen is a lefty, and I don't think he is so,

231
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: but that's okay because I think, like I always think

232
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's a lefty in football, so I can't seem

233
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: to memorize any of these things. But yeah, I mean,

234
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: I think with those ballparks, then maybe I would flip

235
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: my choices. But it would definitely like if there were

236
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: three lefties that Bragman was scheduled to face, then yeah,

237
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: he would bounce back in. But and I think all

238
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 2: of Lewis's games are at home, and I live here

239
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: and it's not warm, so I would, you know, if

240
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: he gets to start in Tampa outdoors, I'm now again

241
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: flipping my position. I'm an excellent analyst at this. I'm

242
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: really stick with my job. But yeah, I think I

243
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: go back to Brigham and then given where he's going, I.

244
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: Did misspeak though, I did he is at Tampa. I

245
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: said he was at the Athletics. I think he's home

246
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: against the Athletics. But you know, not that that's a

247
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: bad thing, Fay. It's not a terrible place to hit either,

248
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: especially for him. He kind of, you know, is made

249
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: for that ballpark. Yeah, this is another interesting one. We've

250
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: talked about him a bunch because it's just a roller

251
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: coaster relationship. What about Trent Grisham over the last two

252
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: weeks seventeenth and VBR with a one eighty eight batting average,

253
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: but he has fiveform runs, So are you this is

254
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: kind of and why don't we go ahead and group

255
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: him together with Colson Montgomery Because in terms of what

256
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: you're looking for, it's kind of the same thing, and

257
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: it's risk and reward and boom and bust, And are

258
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: you just going to roll the dice for the power

259
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: potential and know that it could blow up in your

260
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: face or are you just avoiding it for maybe a

261
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: lower ceiling, higher floor option with either Trent Christian mccolsa

262
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: Montgomery or And I'll pullup Montgomery stats real quick, because

263
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: he's been doing ridiculous things for a while now over

264
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: the last two weeks thirty ninth in VBR with four

265
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: home runs but batting two seventeen, So kind of that's

266
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: why I wanted to group them together. Kind of the

267
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: same thing, like you could get power unless they just evaporate.

268
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: So it's are you taking that risk in the championship

269
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: week or are you trying to avoid those names if

270
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: you can.

271
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: So in head to head, what I like to do

272
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: when I'm in when I'm in the playoffs and then

273
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: for sure championship week is kind of look at my

274
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: previous matchups against whoever I'm facing right and in this case,

275
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 2: I would look at it and be like, do I have,

276
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 2: like have I one home run category against them? Or

277
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: is like that where they shine? And I should look

278
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: at someone I should try to win average and runs

279
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: or whatever. So that's where I would start with that.

280
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: Like if you've lost home runs to the person every

281
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: time you've played them, then no, I wouldn't roll with

282
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: these guys. I would find a higher floor. But you

283
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 2: know otherwise, yeah, they have that power potential. So I,

284
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: like we talked about, I'm like, I don't know how

285
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 2: I'm I'm benching them if that's what I need. But

286
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: if you don't think you can win that category, then

287
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: go for the other ones.

288
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: That's fair. What about someone who's been hot for a

289
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: pretty extended period here, but also the idea of starting

290
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: him in my championship lineup, I just can't like if

291
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: it goes poorly, I don't know if I could live

292
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: with myself all winter knowing that I did this to myself.

293
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: But Joe Adele, and I'll pull up his numbers too,

294
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: So Joe Adele has been on a heater. I'm not

295
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: even gonna pull up all the numbers. I'll just pull

296
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: up the last two weeks whatever, the last two weeks

297
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: batting three eleven with five home runs, and if I

298
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: went further, it would be even more, you know, numbers

299
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: that looked like that, but for a longer stretch, because

300
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: he's been hot for a while and he probably won

301
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: some people their matchups a couple weeks ago. But are

302
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: you gonna actually put Joe Adele in your Championship week

303
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: line up?

304
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: I would feel better about myself if I lose in

305
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: the Championship having Joe Adell in there than I would

306
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: with Tran Grisham in there. I mean, Adele has thirty

307
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: five home runs. His second half stats are pretty similar

308
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: to his first half stats, so it's not like he's

309
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: dropped off a cliff or gotten hotter or colder. I think, yeah,

310
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: I would. I would, honestly, I wouldn't actually feel all

311
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: that bad, Like I'd be like he was the best

312
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: option in the outfield at the time. If I start

313
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: Trank Grisham and he sits against lefties or he you know,

314
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: does this one fifty five homers once thing Adele just

315
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: I can't believe him saying this, but Adele offers more consistency,

316
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: which I never really thought I would say. I figured

317
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: he was always going to be hot or not. But yeah,

318
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: so I would have no issue.

319
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Sorry, ad Adele gets six games and three of them

320
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: were in Corsefield, so not the not the worst place

321
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: to wrap up your seasons in coursefield. Yep, this is

322
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: a name who I was high on coming into the

323
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: season and it has gone poorly. It actually looked really

324
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: good for like a week and it's looked really bad since.

325
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: But Tommy Edmund, he is coming off the IL. He

326
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: batted fifth in his return, and I don't know, I

327
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: guess it would have to be a deep league. Are

328
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: you interested at all in Tommy Edmund? Just because I

329
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: do include him, because I roster him everywhere, And I'm like,

330
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: well he's back. It's too late for me, but he's back.

331
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: I assume this is gonna have to be a deeper,

332
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: a deeper league situation. I don't see you starting him

333
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: and running that risk in twelve team Roda. But what

334
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: if it's like a fourteen team league, are you Are

335
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: you willing to dig that deep into Tommy Edmund.

336
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: No, I don't, like you want to talk about somebody

337
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: that could get injured on the first on Monday and

338
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: be done for the week, like or the Dodgers could

339
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: do all sorts of weird things. So no, I'm not.

340
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: I really don't have a lot of interest. I would

341
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: I would stay with whoever I replaced him with.

342
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had such high hopes just because you know,

343
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: I liked him when he was with the Cardinals and

344
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, you were getting like home runs in the

345
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: teens and then like twenty to thirty stolen bases, and

346
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, sweet, he's going to the

347
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: Dodgers and he's going to be in this lineup and

348
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: they're going to use them all over the place, Like

349
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: he's going to have a ton of eligibility and play

350
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: all the time at all these different positions, because that's

351
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: what Dave Roberts likes to do. And twenty twenty four

352
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: he missed, you know, a very large trunk of the season,

353
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: and it happened again this year, and he got off

354
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: to like a good start and not so great recently,

355
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: and so I agree, I think he've been in a

356
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: deep league. I don't think the ceiling is high enough

357
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: to justify the risk of the floor there, and so yeah,

358
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: I would I adopt to stay away as much as

359
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: it hurts my heart, as much as I want to,

360
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: as much as I want Tommy I had been to

361
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: be good. What about Austin Hayes, who's kind of had,

362
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: you know, a weird year, which is maybe it's just

363
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: a weird career. Over the last two weeks he's sixtieth

364
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: in VBR with two fifty and fifty batting average in

365
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: four home runs, and that's kind of just like what

366
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: he does, you know, two fifty and four home runs

367
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: is like an ideal week if you have Austin Hayes.

368
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: And in terms of matchups, he has seven games and

369
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: his matchups are sixteenth, so right in the middle, seventeen

370
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: games against the three against the Cardinals, and four against

371
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: the Cubs, And so it's not like the worst pitching matchups,

372
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: not the best, but in a seven games, three of

373
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: them at Saint Louis, four of them at home against

374
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the Cubs, Austin Hayes, I feel like I would be intrigued.

375
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: But you know, again, like we keep talking about these

376
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: players who could just get hurt on Monday. He's definitely

377
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: in that conversation as well. But I think I'd be

378
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: more interested in Hayes just because I think there's like

379
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: some good run production and power potential there. But what

380
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: do you think?

381
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree. I'm looking at his splits. He's

382
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: actually homeward more on the road than at home, which

383
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: is seems whack he to me. But yeah, I mean

384
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: I think he does kind of offer you that upside,

385
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 2: and I don't I don't hate it. You know, if

386
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: he's got the if he's got how many games, did

387
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 2: you say, does he have seven? I would I would

388
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: play him. I would start him. Yeah, I wouldn't have

389
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: any issue with that because I think he can contribute

390
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: across like all of the categories and and I feel

391
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: like and I feel like he will and the Reds

392
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: are going to keep batting him. He's been betting pretty high,

393
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: I think, right, So yeah, I think that I would

394
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: start him. Yeah, he's been batting forth most regularly.

395
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: I was muted. I muted myself to drink a glass

396
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: of water, and I didn't go back. That's the first

397
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: time I did it all season. I went almost the

398
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: whole season without doing that, and then I did it.

399
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: So how about this, That's what I started to say

400
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: while I was muted. How about you have one utility

401
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: spot left and you have to decide between Obviously this

402
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: is hard to imagine because you would need another good

403
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: third baseman. But let's say you have Royce Lewis and

404
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: you started came at the third base and you have

405
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: a utility spot and you have to decide between Alex

406
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: Bregman and Austin Hayes. Are you Are you considering Austin Hayes. No, Okay,

407
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: I thought we were going to go in that other

408
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: direction there.

409
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I don't. I don't like Austin Hayes enough.

410
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: He is interesting as a person. No, I don't know

411
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 2: him as a person, but I think that in general,

412
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: this is one of those guys that I kind of

413
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: stay away from because it's like he just doesn't do

414
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: any He just never seems to do anything when I

415
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: have him, and then you drop him, and then he

416
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: goes off and and again with Bregman, that's the that's

417
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: the dance situation to me.

418
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's we that's the Taylor Ward phenomenon with

419
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: Austin Hayes. Okay, one more and it's in that Alex

420
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: Bregman category. But Josel tuove over the last two weeks

421
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: batting one sixty two hundred and forty third in vbl

422
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: are so even worse. Actually, no, not worse than Bregman

423
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: is what was he seventy? Not worse, but he's two

424
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: forty three, so in the same neighborhood and a bottom

425
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: five matchups rating. So are you considering starting or benching Josel?

426
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: Two by second base is a little bit deeper than

427
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: third base, assuming you're playing him a second base to

428
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: see outfield eligible? He is, right, I believe so, yeah,

429
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: because he played outfield for the season, but it didn't

430
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: really it wasn't great out there.

431
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he is. He's played like forty seven games

432
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: out there. Yeah, I don't. I'm looking again at his

433
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: at his splits and like August he bet at two

434
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: thirty one and September so far in nine games he's

435
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: bet at one eighteen. I that is a tough one.

436
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: The I think their schedule, the fact that it's like

437
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: a bottom five matchup rating, I would consider, like, who

438
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: else do I have who's out on waivers? Not because

439
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: this isn't like I don't want to break up with

440
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: the one I brought to the dance on that, but

441
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: I mean he he hasn't just like not been good

442
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: for five minutes like this has been a full second

443
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: half of the season that he's been kind of worthless.

444
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: So from a fancy perspective, So yeah, if I have

445
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: somebody that's a little bit more intriguing or has been

446
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 2: more consistent, I would I would pick them up.

447
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: How about Horrge Polanka? If he's out there the last

448
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: two weeks, he's bat at three thirty three with four

449
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: home runs, he's a consensus forty one percent rostered, so

450
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: that that's probably a little bit higher in most laies

451
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: because that's probably being dragged down by ESPN No offense ESPN.

452
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: But he's probably available in like thirty forty percent of leagues.

453
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: Are any interest in Jae Polanka?

454
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, see, I would take him.

455
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: What about autto Lopez? Three forty of last two weeks,

456
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: three home runs.

457
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: And a stolen days, I'd rather have Polanco?

458
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: What about Lopez or all Tube?

459
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: That one? I think I'd stick with all two A. Yeah,

488
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: All right, second base, And in a very clever move,

489
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: I wanted to do second base as two star pitchers

490
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: two and two brilliant, I know, and unlike has been

491
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: the case for what seems like most of the season,

492
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: or at least the last month, we actually have a

493
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: ton of two star pitchers this week who are good targets.

494
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: And that's very good for your championship, especially if you're

495
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: in something like a points league where those matter even more.

496
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: And so.

497
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: I didn't include the two star pitchers who are like

498
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: definitely rostered everywhere, or like you know, must start studs,

499
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: but even not including them, maybe they're not available, but

500
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: maybe you've been like you know, toying starting them orventing

501
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: them or you know, yo yelling back and forth. There

502
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: are a bunch of to and so we have. If

503
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: I go through the list, Jeffrey Springs who and I'll

504
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: just run through the names and the matchups if I

505
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: can do it quick quickly enough. Jeffrey Springs is at

506
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: the Red Sox and at the Pirates as of right now.

507
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Spencer Stryder is at the Nationals and at the Tigers.

508
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: He has actually been listed as a two star pitcher

509
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: a bunch lightly but like it's never actually happened, but

510
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: it does look like they have a double header this week,

511
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: so they have an extra game, so this might actually

512
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: be the week it happens. He's just been saving it

513
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: for your championship. So that's why Kyle Bradish at the

514
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: White Sox and against the Yankees at home. I don't

515
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: know if he's actually going to make two starts, so

516
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: I put an asterisk on this one. But Connelly Early,

517
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: who we didn't talk about yet, but who looked really

518
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: really good the other night in his debut, historic debut

519
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: with eleven strikeouts. I don't know if you want to

520
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: start a guy making his second and third major league

521
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: starts in your championship on what's interesting is on the plot,

522
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: it's like it's a good and a bad. He just

523
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: struck out eleven athletics the other day. The good news

524
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: is he faces them again. The bad news is they

525
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: just saw him, and so I don't know if that's

526
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: good or bad. So he gets the Athletics and then

527
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: he's at the Rays. So kind of like high ceiling,

528
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: low floor situation there, you know, because it could just

529
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: go very poorly, although he did look very good with

530
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of secondary pitches working really well.

531
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: Kate Horton, your boy is at the Pirates and then

532
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: at the Reds. Jamison Tyone also on the on the Cubs.

533
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: Same matchups at the Pirates, at the Cub or at

534
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: the Reds, and then Jack Flaherty is an interesting one.

535
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to include. He's had a year. I would say,

536
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what I had to put in front

537
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: of it, but he's had a year four point six

538
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: niney ra. He's against the Guardians and against the Braves,

539
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: and then Jack Lyder, much to Joe Piece of pas Chagrin,

540
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: is a two star pitcher in the Championship with a

541
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: three point eight one RA at the Astros and against

542
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: the Marlins. So I'll also to you, what do you

543
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: think of that list? How great is that list? Well,

544
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: let's start with Spencer Strider. Are you going to trust

545
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: Spencer Strider for two starts in your Championship?

546
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: I feel like that would be hard for me, But

547
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 2: I don't mind his matchups like the Nationals do. I don't.

548
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: I don't fear them at all. No matter what Josh

549
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 2: Bell is doing and going to Detroit, it puts him

550
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: in a better spot there. So yeah, I would, even

551
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: though like there's really not a lot of excitement to him.

552
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean, even think about it, like, how weird is

553
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: it that he's probably available in a lot of leagues.

554
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: That's a that's a long way to fall. But yeah,

555
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't love it, but I wouldn't have a

556
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: massive problem doing it if you're trying to like rack

557
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: up Indians or strikeouts.

558
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think two starts is important, and one of

559
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: those starts being internationals is important. So I think I

560
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: think that's helpful. What about Springs at the Red Sox

561
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: and at the Pirates, He's he's had a year as well. Again,

562
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: kind of a roller coaster. I don't know that I

563
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: love him at Fenway, what do you think?

564
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: No, In fact, I would. The fact that Bregman gets

565
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: to face him is one of the reasons I was like,

566
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 2: then go with Bregman because he gets Springs at home.

567
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: I so, yeah, Again, if it's if I have to

568
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: pick and set and I can't move him around, I

569
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: don't love I don't love it with him. But if

570
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: he could survive Boston, then yeah, that that Pirates matchup

571
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: looks really nice. So so again, it depends on where

572
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: you are who else you have, but I would I

573
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: would rather have spr I would rather have Strider than Springs.

574
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: Obviously at this point, based on matchups, I.

575
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: Should have made this like a super Soaker to your

576
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: head segment that made you like pick one. What about

577
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Bradish he gets he is at the White Sox,

578
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: a pretty good matchup, then he gets the Yankees at

579
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: home versus the Yankees, so does that second matchup? And

580
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: also since returning he's looked very good or have you

581
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: seen enough to be comfortable starting him in your championship

582
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: or does that second matchup against the Yankees scare you

583
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: enough to not start him?

584
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm fine. I would start him. He would be

585
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: my agree. Yeah, he was going to be one of

586
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: my picks if I hadn't already started him until I

587
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: figured out the magic the magical situation I'm currently and

588
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: in this two start competition.

589
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: That's h And I assume Bradish clearly over Stratter.

590
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: And Springs yep, without a question.

591
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: What about the youngster Connolly early? Are you? Are you

592
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: taking that risk? His two starts again are repeat it?

593
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: He's against the athletics we just faced and again dominated,

594
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: but now facing again, which you never know if that's

595
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: going to be like really good or really bad. And

596
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: then at the race, and he is a lefty, yes.

597
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the lefty. The lefty part kind of neutralizes Nick

598
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: Kurtz a little. Also, you know Fenway isn't great for lefties.

599
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm okay. I also considered him for the

600
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: two star competition just because I was like, well, if

601
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: he's going to strike out a hundred guys, I don't

602
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: really care what else happens to him. So yeah, I would.

603
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: I would start him, but I would still prefer Bradish,

604
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: but I.

605
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: Haven't made a pick in the competition. Maybe I'll take him.

606
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: He's second, so Bradish Early, Stratter Spring so far yep, Okay,

607
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: what about Kate Horton and I'll reado his matchups again.

608
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: I keep I keep uh not doing that. At Pirates

609
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: at Reds, yeah, I don't.

610
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: I would start him without any I would start him

611
00:30:55,040 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: without any concern. I would put him behind British and Early.

612
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: I think just because his strikeout rate isn't isn't great,

613
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: and like, but he's pretty He's been really weirdly consistent.

614
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, so he's on the he's done in the list.

615
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: I think i'd put him third at.

616
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: This point, so we're Bratish Early Horton, Strider, Springs, Yes, okay,

617
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: jameson Ty same matchups. I'll say him again at Pirates at.

618
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: Rets do you want innings? I mean, like, you know,

619
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: if quality starts is a is a category, like I

620
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: think that that's an that's something Tywne kind offers you,

621
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: so I might consider it in that regard. Otherwise I

622
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: would put him under Strider. So I'm not I'm not

623
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: a giant fan of not even with the matchups, but

624
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 2: just him as a pitcher. I don't think he offers

625
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: you as much upside.

626
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: Okay, we got two more names. I'm going to keep

627
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: repeating the order and see if I can get it

628
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: right every time. Okay, Bradish Early Horton. Did you put

629
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: Ty on in front of the Furtant? Oh yeah, Bratish

630
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: Early Horton strike Tywne Springs, Yes, right, yeah, Okay? What

631
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: about Jack Flaherty and his matchups are against the Guardians

632
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: and against the Braves home for both.

633
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: So there's the bottom of my list, Jeffrey Springs and

634
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: then Jack Flerty is like under that by nine or

635
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: ten slots. I don't want anything to do with him.

636
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: He's been too ball. I've had him on, I had

637
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: him on a couple of different teams that was too

638
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: much volatility and not in the championship, No way.

639
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. And what about Jack Lyder?

640
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: Who his matchups are? He's the last one on the list.

641
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: Jack Lyder is at the Astros and against the Marlins.

642
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: M M. I'm gonna put him between Okay, I'll put yeah.

643
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how.

644
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: About I read him off? Do you, I'll just I'll

645
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: keep going with the names, and you tell me where

646
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna slide in. So he's not going to be

647
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: above Bradish No, Connolly, Early.

648
00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

649
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: Cad Horton, No, okay.

650
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: I don't like as much as much and I don't

651
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: like him.

652
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: Remember where the order is. Spencer Strider I think is next.

653
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think i'd put him right under Streider.

654
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: Under Strider.

655
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

656
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: So final list, if I could do it one last time,

657
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Bradish, Connley Early, Cad Horton, Spencer Strider, Jack Lyder, Jameson, Tyone,

658
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: Jeffrey No, yeah, James and Tyone, Jeffrey Springs, Jack Flaherty Yes, okay,

659
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: Tyone threw me off at the end of there. Yeah.

660
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: I had Strider and Springs together for so long and

661
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: then I got thrown off at the end. How dare

662
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: you all right? So those are two star pictures. Let's

663
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: jump over to third base and I want to talk

664
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. We're gonna split this basically, split third

665
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: base and home base, homeplate at home base, whatever you

666
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: want to call it, together and talk a little bit

667
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: about streamers, hitter streamers, and picture streamers. Obviously, if you're

668
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: streaming pitchers, you're probably gonna want to stream one of

669
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: the names we just talked about because they have two starts,

670
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: and two starts is better than one, especially in the

671
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: championship hitters. There's not a lot out there, but on

672
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: the waiver wire if you are desperate, there are some

673
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: names who have been doing some things, and they're available

674
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: or could be available for different reasons. The first name,

675
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: I'll toss at you and I'll look up his last

676
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: two week if I switch my tab back over. But

677
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: Andrew been in ten d and he's someone who's been

678
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: doing some things. If I can pull up and over

679
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, seventh in VBR with a three

680
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: ninety one batting average and five home runs, and he

681
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: is not rostered in a ton of places. Consensus roster

682
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: percentage is under ten percent. However, home runs is not

683
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: necessarily a thing he's been known for his career. Batting

684
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: average is coming gone. Power never really been his thing,

685
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: except for like one time, are you starting Drew ben

686
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: Attendi in your championship And I'll look up his matchups

687
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: before you answer. He gets do do Do Do Do

688
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: Do Do Doo doo filibuster. He gets he's on the

689
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 1: White Sox. He they have the twenty first ranked pitcher

690
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: matchups and they are home for all six games against

691
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: the Orioles and the Padres. So it's probably the Padres

692
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: dragging down that rating. M hm, because the Oriole matchup

693
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: is not terrible.

694
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: Nop, No, not at all. Yeah, he's actually and he's

695
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 2: a weird one. Uh because versus home versus lefties, he's

696
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 2: batting two ninety three. He doesn't have the same power obviously,

697
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, I wouldn't mind streaming him if he's if

698
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: he's kind of hot and he's helping your batting average

699
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: and he's gonna get on base, and if coloson Montgomery,

700
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: can you know, hit him in or whatever you know again,

701
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 2: and if we're just looking at at next week, it's like,

702
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: I feel like he offers at least so upside if

703
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: he's if he's hot and it continues, which he appears

704
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: to be, I would be okay picking him up and

705
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: putting him in again. I would. I think I'd rather

706
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: have him than Grisham, which is an odd feeling, but hmm, that's.

707
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: An interesting one. I guess I could. I could juxtapose

708
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: some of the other ones. What about Adelie's Garcia? Do

709
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: you want Adelais Garcia or Benettendy?

710
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I really like Benetendi break this

711
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: very second, like he's got he's got some pop and

712
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: I it's the whole coming off the ale thing that

713
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: that bothers me for just put right in into a lineup.

714
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll give me Andrew.

715
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of them coming off the al, how about Nolan Arunado,

716
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: come on down? Do you want another third baseman to

717
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: start in the in the final matchup?

718
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you have to start a corner infielder.

719
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: What are his matchups? Do you know?

720
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: I don't have his matchups are if I pull them

721
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: up if I scroll over here, Fel a buster eighteenth

722
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: ranked matchup. His six games against the Reds and the

723
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 1: Brewers all at home, so not great. The first matchup

724
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: looks like it's gonna be Zach Ltel, then Andrew Rabbit

725
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: and then Brady Singer. So two good one, okay, But

726
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: then the Brewers are gonna be tough. He's got Woodroffmzzerowski

727
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: and then who knows who the third one is gonna be.

728
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:17,439
Speaker 1: But they have pretty good pitching.

729
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I don't want him based on those matchups.

730
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, also coming off the il like returning imminently like

731
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: Monday could be his first game right which no interest.

732
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: Another interesting name potentially available is him doing some things.

733
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: Kyle Manzardo over the last two weeks forty second in

734
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: VBR with five home runs, so he's probably a corner

735
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: infield only power the name you're looking for for power

736
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: any interesting? Kyle Manzarto and his matchups are everyone. Every

737
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: name I pick is like way up or way down

738
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: unless I have to scroll every time. They can never

739
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: just be on this huge monitor and I still have

740
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: to scroll every time. Twenty seven, so he has a

741
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: bottom five matchup ranking. He does get Jack Flaherty because

742
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: he is at the Tigers and at the Twins. So yeah,

743
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: at Tarik Schooble and at Pabula Lopez. That's those are

744
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: two reasons why he's getting dragged down on the rankings

745
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: right there. The Schooble start, you can pretty much toss

746
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: that one out as you might as well not even

747
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: play that day. Would probably be better if he didn't.

748
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: He probably won't.

749
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but seven games there is a double header there,

750
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: so he might not play both are probably won like

751
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: six games. Yeah, you're selling out for power with him,

752
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: but also at Detroit not a great place for power,

753
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: not great pitching matchups. I'm not making the argument for you.

754
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: But what do you think, Yeah, the pitching matchups don't

755
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: seem all that bad. Flerty and Gibson Long are the

756
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: two ahead of Schooble, so they're both Righty's. I won't

757
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: have any issue with that. And then yeah, Pablo Lopez

758
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 2: and then Joe Ryan goes in the first scheduled to

759
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: go in the first game of that doubleheader, but then

760
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: it's and Woods Richardson, So I mean they're nothing but

761
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: Righty's there. So yeah, I mean I assume he'll sit

762
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: during Schoogle if Cleveland has any interest in winning. But

763
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 2: the rest of it, yeah, I don't have I actually

764
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: don't have any trouble starting him. It's like, yeah, you're

765
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 2: selling out for power, but he he I don't think

766
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: those matchups are all that scary.

767
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: So all right, now, as a Cubs fan, I imagine

768
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: you know how good Dansby Swanson has been recently? Would you,

769
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: without looking, do you know where he is in VBR

770
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks? I do not six six okay,

771
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: six so top six two thirty four batting average but

772
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: four home runs and five stolen bases, so a little

773
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: bit of everything. And his matchups are I don't have

774
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: to scroll. I don't have to scroll. It's still up

775
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: because I was just at the Guardians. The Cubs are

776
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: two spots ahead of him. I don't have to scroll.

777
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: Twenty These matchups are twenty third, so not great, and

778
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: at the Pirates which includes Paul Skeens, and then at

779
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: Reds which includes Hunter Green and Nicolodolo. The other pitching

780
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: matchups not bad, although Mitch Keller is you know, he's

781
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: perfectly cromulent seven games. I don't know, are you?

782
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 3: Are you?

783
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: I guess this would probably be utility only because there's

784
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: it's very likely you have a better short stop than

785
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: Dancy Sponson. But any interest in starting Dancy Swanson in

786
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: the final week.

787
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 2: Yes, if you have a middle infield spot. No, I mean,

788
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: I don't know how you're in the championship if he

789
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 2: could be in your utility spot, but so yeah, I would.

790
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 2: I would kind of stay away from that, but if

791
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 2: it was, if it was middle endfield, I would take

792
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: a look at it.

793
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you made the championship because every week you just

794
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: guessed right between Austin Hayes and Taylor Ward and like

795
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: that one good week that Matt Shaw had, or like

796
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you just nailed it every week and

797
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: you're just trying to nail it one last time. And

798
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: could that time be dance by Swanson?

799
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you know it could. But he's also batting

800
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 2: He's still batting pretty low in that lineup, So I'm

801
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 2: not I'm not Overlea sold.

802
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: I think this is the last one I have in

803
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: terms of hitters before we jump over to the single

804
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: start pitchers, or I guess there's what we're gonna talk about.

805
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: What about has Young Kim who I think we talked

806
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: about him a few weeks ago. He was taking over

807
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: as the just starting shortstop for the Braves, and it

808
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: seems like it's going okay to the point where you know,

809
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: you could consider playing him in the final week. He's

810
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 1: batting right in the middle of that lineup. He's batted

811
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: fifth for most of his recent starts. He just moved

812
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: up to fourth recently against a lefty. And in let

813
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: me split the let me split the partial seasons here

814
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: in twenty nine games with the Braves batting two fifty

815
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: with one home run and surprisingly no stolen bases. You

816
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: would think you would get more stolen bases out of

817
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 1: Has Young Kim in twenty four games with the Rays

818
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: two home runs, six stolen bases. The no stolen bases

819
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: but the Braves kind of gives me some pause. M

820
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: although it's a small sample size, but any interesting has Young.

821
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 2: Camp Yeah, but is that a like, are the Braves

822
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 2: not running as much? I didn't I obviously didn't look

823
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 2: that up because that just came up. You know, if

824
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: he's not being given in the green light to run,

825
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 2: then that's not going to get better, in which case, no,

826
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: I'm not over really interested. I would only want him

827
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 2: for the potential runs in speed.

828
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: Well, Ahzi Albi's has two stone bases over the last

829
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: two weeks, so he's running a little bit. They also

830
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: have a top five matchup. They have seven games and

831
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: four of them are against the Nationals and then three

832
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: against the Tigers. But I think they're missing schoobl in

833
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: the Tigers.

834
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, they have to be. If the Guardians are

835
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: getting him, yeah, I don't know. No. The fact that

836
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: he hasn't stolen the base with them, doesn't I don't.

837
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: That's again, that's the only and I would use him.

838
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: So no, Yeah, I think that's another case similar to

839
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond, where while it's intriguing, I don't know that

840
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: the ceiling is enough to justify the risk, Whereas with

841
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: someone like Adelis Garcia, I think the ceiling is enough

842
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: to justify the risk in some cases. With Hostun Kim,

843
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: probably not because your ideal week is still like a

844
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: pretty good week.

845
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, your ideal week is like, well, he didn't hurt me,

846
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: and if we're going to pick up a short stop,

847
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 2: then yeah, I'd rather have funson, So you know, that's

848
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 2: that's where we said with him.

849
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: All right, those were our hitter streamers, and if you

850
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: have more, obviously any and more questions, obviously toss him

851
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: in the YouTube comments and we'll get to it and

852
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: speak the Speaking of line up decisions, struggling with lineup pocisions,

853
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: our lineup Persistent It recommends optable lineup sessions to maximize

854
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: your team's performance each day or week. Just sink your

855
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: league for Taylor guidance based on your roster in league settings.

856
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: Download the Fantasy Baseball on My playbook gap or visit

857
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: fantass dot com slash MLB my playbook to set your

858
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: winning lineup today. And now let's close things out with

859
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: some pitching streamers. So we obviously talked about a bunch

860
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: about the two star pitchers, who I think we both

861
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: recommend if you're going to stream pitching and the Championship.

862
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: Tried and tried and see if you can get some

863
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: of those two star pitchers. But you have a few

864
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: single start streamers that you wanted to talk about, And

865
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: so since I did not write these names down, why

866
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: don't I just toss it to you to talk about

867
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: the names that you wrote down?

868
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: All right? Perfect? So yeah, I mean obviously I like British,

869
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 2: I like I like the two starts. So I kind

870
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 2: of skipped to the weekend to see if there was

871
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: anybody like if you do get to pick up kind

872
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 2: of in the middle of the week or for the weekend,

873
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw is going to be in San Francisco. I

874
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: will never stop being amazed at how bad the Giants

875
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: are against left handed pitching. They are batting two fourteen,

876
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: They have a two seventy nine on base percent agenda

877
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 2: three fifty three slugging, So I mean, yeah, they get

878
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: to they're going to face the Diamondbacks in the first

879
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 2: half of the week, and Eduardo Rodriguez is sitting there,

880
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: but I would, I don't know if I would start.

881
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: So that's my first one. And then a couple of

882
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 2: Guardians because they're in Minnesota, so Parker Messick and Slade

883
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 2: CHICONI boy, yeah, and man did he have a good

884
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 2: start the other night. But those are your first Those

885
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: are the two, just the two Guardian pictures pictures that

886
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: I'd be willing to be like, okay, And they also

887
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 2: have the easiest matchup of the Twins pictures. They've got

888
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: the Woods Richardson and then probably Zebie Matthews on Sunday,

889
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 2: So I would. I mean, there's way equity there for sure. Yeah.

890
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: And when we talk about all those like really exciting

891
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: young pictures, a couple of weeks ago, Messick was like

892
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: on a tier like below all the ones you were

893
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: excited about, and he went out and had like the

894
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: best start of any of them, because a lot of

895
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: them took like a step back, which is unfortunate time,

896
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: especially if you're in the playoffs. But all still very exciting.

897
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: I forgot to do our two star picture competition earlier.

898
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: I wanted to do it when we were talking too

899
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: star pictures. Bad job by me, but in a perfect

900
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: way to just close out the season. Maybe this is

901
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: better because we've we've ended every episode with our two

902
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: star picture competition, we might as well end the last

903
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: episode of the season with it. And so just for

904
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of record keeping, we'll get this out

905
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: of the way first. But it looks like I won

906
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: last week again. Dylan Cee said twenty eight point five

907
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: points against Drew Rasmussen eighteen points. I didn't tally up

908
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: the reasons for those points because it seemed far enough

909
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: for it to be obvious that we didn't need to

910
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: argue about it. Between the current standings are ten to

911
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: seven to two with me in the lead. With right now,

912
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: I have Logan web going and you have Brian wo

913
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: Woo woo, Kenny wo going. And this week, why don't

914
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: you tell me who your final two star picture is?

915
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was looking, so I was, you know, I

916
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 2: was really used to looking for like kind of the

917
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 2: lower the lower group, like who's left blah blah blah.

918
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: And then I went back and somehow Verne has not

919
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 2: used Paul's, so I will be using Paul Skans for

920
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 2: the last week, just to just to have some fun.

921
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: He's he gets the Cubs and the Athletics at home.

922
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 2: Now that I've picked him against my Cubs, he'll give

923
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 2: up seven runs or whatever. But otherwise, I mean, come on,

924
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll take the cy Young Award winner, at

925
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 2: least the presumptive one, I think, no matter what Christopher

926
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 2: Sanchez is doing.

927
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, oddly enough, I have also not

928
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: used Paul Skins, so you got before I could. It

929
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: might it may have just never really lined up that

930
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: way for us, or if it did, like a couple

931
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: of times, we're like let me, We're like, let me say,

932
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: Paul skeans, I don't want to burn them right now,

933
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: and then we just never used them. So I did

934
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: not make a pick, which I said earlier. But it

935
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: also looks like I'm going to win the competition either way,

936
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: So why don't I just go out with a bang

937
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: and I'll just do Connery early. Maybe he won't even

938
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: make two starts, so maybe it'll be just tossing the

939
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: week away. But I'll do Connolly kindly early, and who

940
00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: is he facing again?

941
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 2: I didn't we get to the raise and.

942
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: The rais and a's and a's and the race. That

943
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: is not the abbreviation for raise. All right, And that's

944
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: pretty much all we have for today, and that's all

945
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: we have for this season. But as I said in

946
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: the beginning, if you have questions, we're here for you.

00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,640
