1 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: Hey, it's leading off. What's up everybody. It's Chris Wells. 2 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: Should joining me on this beautiful Thursday is Andrew Seifter 3 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: and we are in the house to get you set 4 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: for all your playoffs, all your stuff, all your things. 5 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: Talk about rookies who we were gonna maybe cut, who 6 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: hit home runs, and you know that guy, Aaron Judge. 7 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: Of course, Andrew Andrew fifty five homers for Aaron Judge, 8 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: no big deal. Also getting a little Barry Bond's treatment. 9 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: Five walks in the doubleheader yesterday. Aaron Judge is quite 10 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: the MVP. 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's you know, we've had this discussion about Otani 12 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: versus Judge, and Otani has the edge because of the pitching, 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: but Judge is making it really hard to dispute what 14 00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: he's doing. 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 3: It's it's really impressive. 16 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: And you know, I think I saw Gray from Rasball 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: on Twitter doing that comparison to Barry Bonds and talking 18 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: about how you remembers playing fantasy when Barry Bonds set 19 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: that home run record, and it really is starting to 20 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: feel like that with all these walks and twenty more 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: home runs than anybody else in the league. 22 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 3: It's really special. 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: It is in that range and pitchers and teams are 24 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: starting to approach him like that. I don't think any 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: team is going to want to be the team that 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: is going to give up, you know, the call the homer, 27 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: the big one that's going to break any records. So 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes the rest of the way. 29 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: And funny enough, we had the Wonky bonus yesterday. Dang 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: by the way, the don't remember this the Otani versus 31 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: Judge of trying not to. I'm trying to avoid going 32 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: into it. Just can't help it. Sometimes it's always so 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: tough too with these things where it's like every day 34 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: one of the big pieces of news, it's like it's 35 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: O Tawny or Judge doing something and they both hit 36 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: homers yesterday and Judge just keeps going. So I apologize, 37 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: of course, but we don't need to go through the 38 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: MVP conversations or anything like that. But it was funny 39 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: because yesterday Wonky had the bonus for the home run call, 40 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: which the bonus was taking a player who had a 41 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: double digit number like eleven, twenty two, thirty three, and 42 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: you would get to rock with that, except Judge wasn't 43 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: available because Judge was in a double header. That's part 44 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: of the home run contest rules, which I found out 45 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: a couple months ago, and there was a controversy. Bradley 46 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: was calling us out on it. Joe got back into 47 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: it all in fun, and Judge of course, was the 48 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: only double digit number guy to hit that home run 49 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: and it did not count for anybody but number fifty five. 50 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: Now five away, we are in the five homer territory 51 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: of greatness across the board. Five more for sixty and 52 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: five more for seven hundred for pool holes. So it's 53 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: actually it's a pretty kind of fun time right now, 54 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: with the twenty ish days left of baseball to get going. Andrew, 55 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get your take on this. Yesterday, Kelly and 56 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: I were talking about Corbyn, Carroll talk about rookies in general. 57 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: Connor Henderson has been really you know, you and I 58 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: think had this conversation a week or so ago where 59 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: it's like the end of the day when these top 60 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: prospects are going to come up and they're going to 61 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: get regular time. Most likely the person you're going to 62 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: ask us, like, hey, should I cut this guy, it's 63 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: probably going to be a yes. You know, we were 64 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: cutting with Merrifield. We were cutting them into Rosario. We're 65 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: cutting some of these players to bring in these guys. 66 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: Gunner's played well and Corbin had not really been playing fantastic. 67 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: First couple of games are good, kind of cool down 68 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: a little bit sitting versus lefties occasionally. Well, yesterday, this 69 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: does what he does, picks it back up, hits his 70 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: first Carol barrel as I like to call it, got 71 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: his first home run, was two for four, got his 72 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: average backup. He's now into the two eighties. I'm going 73 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: to get your take on how volatile you are willing 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: to be with a lot of these rookies right now 75 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: if they're struggling, How quick on the burnon churn are 76 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: you going to be and how tightly do you want 77 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: to hold on to guys like Gunner and Corbyn Carrol 78 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: to make sure they get it right with these last 79 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. 80 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really tough because you know, in a redraft league, 81 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: as we get closer to the end of the season, 82 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: you just you're you're more excited about these players than 83 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: it really warrants, to be honest, because they are, like 84 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: you said, volatile. They could be great or they could struggle. 85 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: So it depends what sort of position you're in. If 86 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: you're in a rotissary league and you've got a lead 87 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: and you're just trying, you know, if you just take 88 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: care of business, you're gonna win. You should go for 89 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: more stable players in that situation. I would argue if 90 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: you're in a if you need to you know, cat's 91 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: lightning in a bottle like we talk about, and make 92 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: make up ground on people in these final weeks, or 93 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: you have a head to head playoff matchup and you 94 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: look at the other team and you say that team 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: looks better than my team. I need something special. I 96 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: need Corbyn Carroll. In that situation, I would absolutely roll 97 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: the dice on it. So it really does matter your 98 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: individual situation. 99 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 3: You know. 100 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: I think we tend as fantasy analysts to get super 101 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: excited about these young prospects, but if you're not in 102 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: a keeper of dynasty league, you're really just making a 103 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: bet on who's going to be best in these next 104 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: three Yeah. 105 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: I mean the positive is that Carol's moved up in 106 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: the order a little bit. I think he's hitting five dinbacks, 107 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: has been hitting really well, so that's something to keep 108 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: positive about with all of the rookies coming up. One 109 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: of the interesting things that's going on. Bog and I 110 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: on the in This League Fantasy Baseball podcast, we're looking 111 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: at hot bats for the last two weeks. Pickups. You 112 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: could do some of the top pickups. You have some 113 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: guys that you know are stealing some basses, you know, 114 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: Michael Taylor, Josey Sirius stealing bases versus let's take out 115 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: Gunner and Corman for a second. Take those guys off 116 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: the table versus a lot of hitting prospects. Because those 117 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: two are specifically five tool there's not a lot of 118 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: those guys, and those are the biggest names, But there 119 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: are some big name prospects that are sitting around that 120 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: aren't like that. You've got Trista Consis, You've got Michael Tolia, 121 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: who hit another homer yesterday and getting the call tomorrow. 122 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: Is Josh Young jay U n G looks like Jung. 123 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: It's young Josh Young with the Rangers is getting the 124 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: call up. And this is another one of these guys 125 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: you know. Funny enough, I told you guys, what was 126 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: it like five weeks ago when he was rehabbing right 127 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: across the street and I was at his first game 128 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: he had had in like a year, and now you 129 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: know he's one hundred and twenty four at bats through 130 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: the minor leagues at least, you know, rookie ball and 131 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: triple A hit nine homers, had one stolen base two 132 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: sixty six. But here's my point, as you've got these 133 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 1: guys with great hit tools, Young would be my prioritization 134 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: over both causes and Tolia. Tolia might be number two 135 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: right now over Casses because of the power, but these 136 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: are not stolen base options. So you have high hit 137 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: tool prospects getting every day playing time versus kind of 138 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: boring Jose Siri, Michael Taylor's, who are doing a little 139 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: bit of everything with stolen bases. How would you prioritize 140 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: the boring no name, they're hot going right now series 141 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: and Michael Taylor's versus no stolen bases but hot hit 142 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: prospects out of Josh Young, Cassis and Michael Tolia. 143 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: Well, you know, it really depends again on format. You know, 144 00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: first of all, you need to be in that road 145 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: league where you need those steals. If you need the steals, 146 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: you got to follow the steels. You know, I would 147 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: argue though that there's another prospect you didn't even mention 148 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: that I would prefer over at least a couple of 149 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: those guys, and that's Alec Burrelson, who just got the 150 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 2: call with the Cardinals, because that guy's actually been mashing 151 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 2: in the minors, unlike Josh Young, who I love long term, 152 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: but let's be real, his minor. 153 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: League numbers don't look that special. 154 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: So I think we're at a part of the season 155 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: now where I'm less concerned about who's the higher prospect 156 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: and you know, going to be the best in five 157 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: years from now. 158 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: I want to know who's going to be the best 159 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 3: next week. 160 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: And you know, there's also an argument for stepping into 161 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: the Cardinals lineup. That's a fantastic lineup. I think we've 162 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: seen this with the Braves as well. When when these 163 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: prospects get this opportunity in this loaded lineup, they have 164 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: better lineup protection, They're going to have more ability to 165 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: drive in runs. So I think that that makes a 166 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: real difference in fantasy. So, you know, I like guy 167 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: like TOTALLYA sure, I'll play them at cores if you know, 168 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: if you see the schedule and he's got some games 169 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: combat at cores. But He's still got a ton of 170 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 2: swing and miss to his game, so he could really struggle. 171 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: It's you know, and strike out four times in a 172 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: game any at any given time. 173 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 3: So I like Burlson right now. 174 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: So you go, would you go? Because it's just about 175 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: at the same level here, would you go Burlson over 176 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: Josh Young? As far as what you're going to prioritize. 177 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's not a keeper league, I'll take Burlson. 178 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean Burlson has had a fantastic 179 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: minor league season this year. Twenty homers, three point thirty one. 180 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: He's hit one hundred and forty three hits on the year, 181 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: three seventy two LOVP, and he moved three levels last year, 182 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: which was really impressive. He spent the entire year at 183 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: TRIPAA this year. Last year was a pretty successful season. 184 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: Doesn't steal a whole lot, but also doesn't strike out 185 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: a whole bunch. You gotta imagine he's probably going to 186 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: be hitting seven or eight for this team, and hopefully 187 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: that's going to be you know enough, but you know, 188 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: they got a lot of injuries on that front. He's 189 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: going to get some work. It's not a bad gig. 190 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: I still dig Josh Young. That's going to probably might 191 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: be where I go with it. But Burlson is a 192 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: nice sneaky pickup, and you know, sneaky pickups is kind 193 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: of the game plan. It's the play of the day here. 194 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: Jake McCarthy has been that large noop barge. It happens 195 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: to be in the chat right here with these days. 196 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: These guys have been sneaky pickups this year. And the 197 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: biggest strategy really everybody can be given is just have 198 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, a short memory. You know, if you have 199 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: to cut a guy, just kind of forget about him 200 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: and move on, you know, don't think about it because 201 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: there's only so much time here. And Bagman brought this 202 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: great point we were talking about this is a big one. 203 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: We're talking about Louise Robert and how Robert has struggled. 204 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: He has struggled. I think he's like hitting under two 205 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: hundred in the last two weeks, in the last month, 206 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: it hasn't been great. And someone in a little bit 207 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: of a smaller league was dealing with a situation of 208 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: like should we drop Robert? And they listed off some 209 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: players that are out there with guys like Brian Reynolds 210 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: and kind of renfro and Jake McCarthy, and we said, 211 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, here's an experiment for you. 212 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: Think of what Robert's line is going to be the 213 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: rest of the season, and think of what it's going 214 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: to look like from those stream mean bats. If you 215 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: could start streaming them, get Renfro in for three days, 216 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: get McCarthy in, you're probably going to beat it exponentially 217 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: what Robert does the rest of this year with those 218 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: type of streaming options. So you know, it's a case 219 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: by case situation of what's available out there, but streaming 220 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: at this point is probably going and obviously your pickups 221 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: are going to be something to think about, but it's 222 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: probably going to outperform these names that are just sitting 223 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: out there hitting two twenty. 224 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: And I'm yeah, no, absolutely, I mean. 225 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 2: Well, and it's like you know, as analysts, when we 226 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: put together our rankings, that's something I think is really 227 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: important to do is try to actually put real projections 228 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: out there in your mind, like what put numbers to 229 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: your biases, you know, and see how it works out, 230 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 2: because oftentimes, like you said, you'll find out that your 231 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: bias was way off and even though one guy might 232 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: be the more exciting dynamic player, the other guy actually 233 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: will help you win your league more in these next 234 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: few weeks. 235 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly a few other headlines here. Kyle Finnegan gave 236 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: up five earned runs in the b botom of the 237 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: ninth to allow Saint Louis a six to five victory 238 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: in plosion is what we would call. 239 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: That, Andrew, Yeah, you usually asked me when I come on, 240 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: how I'm doing, and I was all prepared to start 241 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: with that because that really ruined my day. I'm trying 242 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 2: to close out a fantasy title here, and I have 243 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: Kyle Finnegan in my lineup. 244 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: That's a serious killer. 245 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: The only saving grace is it's a roto league and 246 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: not a head to head playoff matchup where I would 247 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: pretty much sink me instantaneously, so I could still try 248 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 2: to hold on. 249 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 3: But that was sure not something I was looking to see. 250 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: I was about to tell you it might be closed 251 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: out either way for you, just the result might not 252 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: be exactly what you want. And this is a very 253 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: big surprise one because I was just talking about this yesterday, 254 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: like I said on ITL and this is not the 255 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: news that we saw and This came down today because 256 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: I was at the point of saying, you probably could 257 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: move on, but wander Franco is going to meet the 258 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: Rais in New York and could be activated as early 259 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: as Friday. Whoa, because wander Franco has had his rehabstint 260 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: stopped twice with soreness and injury in that wrist, and 261 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: the race just said screw it. And this is I wish, 262 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: by the way, more teams would do screw it at 263 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: this point in the year and having to throw a 264 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: guy into a rehab stint, have him do that at 265 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: the major leagues like plenty of these guys. Now, obviously 266 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: he does a younger guy and he's had some struggles 267 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: and stuff, so I get it. But these extended minor 268 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: league times, especially for veterans and stuff, is always silly 269 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: to me. And they just said, screw it, we're gonna 270 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: get him at the majors. They're going to activate him 271 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: as of Friday. That is not what I expected, and 272 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to get some wander production whatever 273 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: that's going to be. Unfortunately, what I do hate to 274 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: say is I might throw wander back into that same 275 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: Louise Robert conversation of saying, you know, obviously, if you're 276 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: in a deeper league, this doesn't matter, like me, But 277 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: if you're in like a ten or twelve and you've 278 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: got like a right full, you know, set of free 279 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: agents out there that I'm not sure you won't be 280 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: able to do better streaming at this point instead of 281 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: just locking into one because we really just don't know, 282 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: you known hand and risk and all those type of injuries, 283 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: there's a lot of sapping power that kind of went 284 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: away for Wander. It was really that beginning of the month. 285 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: And I know you haven't been very big on Franco, 286 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: so you're probably not jumping up and down for joy 287 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,239 Speaker 1: that he's going to be activated. 288 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: No, I hate it that I'm becoming like the Wander 289 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: Franco hater, but yes, I guess I'll just own it. 290 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: When it comes to category leagues, you know, he just 291 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: hasn't shown, you know, what power is there really to sap. 292 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: I mean, he has five home runs in fifty eight 293 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: games this season. Never really put up massive home run 294 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 2: numbers in the minors either. So he's a great long 295 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: term prospect, but at least with Luis Robert, like he 296 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 2: gives you the category juice. It's just a question of 297 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: can he actually be on the field. I mean, he's 298 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 2: just always missing time. But with Franco, even when he's 299 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 2: been on the field, even before the injury, when he 300 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: was healthy, his production was not as advertised. 301 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think when you say, like where what 302 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: power is, it's about the potential with him, it's there, 303 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: it's just not tapped into and it's going to get there. 304 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: With Franco. That's why I have such a still long 305 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: term like aggressiveness on him, and the hit tool is 306 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: solely But you know, I had a problem with him 307 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: in draft season where I remember I remember giving a 308 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: piece of p a crap for it. We were doing 309 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: a draft. I think he did it with us very 310 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: very early on, and he had taken Wander like in 311 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: the second round, and I was like, dude, I just 312 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: can't do it because there's so many guys out here, 313 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: there's so many short steps out here with better counting 314 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: stat potential production that I'm not going to eat all 315 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: these rounds of value just for batting average. And that's 316 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: kind of where Franco unfortunately is sitting. But either way 317 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: he's going to be activated for you guys that want 318 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: to end up making those moves. Here's some injuries. 319 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: One. 320 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: Soto was removed from Wednesday's game after getting hit by 321 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: a pitch on his back. He says, so definitely be 322 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: ready for Friday's game to open up the weekend series 323 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: against the Dodgers. So a little bad, but a little 324 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: good that he'll be back, you know, protect our Wan Sodos. 325 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: Except you know, he hasn't really been hitting that well. 326 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think his biggest injury right now be a 327 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: bruised ego actually, because he's been getting booed by his 328 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: home fans there in San Diego. 329 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 3: And San Diego is not a place that is known 330 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 3: for us. 331 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: We created all this stuff. Chill, chill, chill. We need 332 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: him to re sign. 333 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's not a it's not a place that's 334 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: known for it's uh, you know, vitriol I would say 335 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 2: it's a pretty laid back place from from my experience. 336 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: But he's certainly struggled since he got there. And you know, 337 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: Jan Soto is a really great guy, but this is 338 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: a lot of pressure for him to walk into right 339 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: into a playoff chase, and with with those contractual issues 340 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: and the amount of of prospects that they gave up 341 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 2: to get him, So it's a lot of pressure, and 342 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: he was having kind of a disappointing season even even 343 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: before he went to the Padres. He's now barely a 344 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 2: top one hundred overall player in five by five leagues, 345 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: which is really I mean, he's barely more of He's 346 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: barely the most valuable Sodo in fantasy. 347 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh boo Gregory Soto's shot. I don't like that. 348 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: This is actually kind of my take that Wonky had 349 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: that they're taking out their anger on Tatisa. 350 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 351 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: I think I think there's just a lot of like 352 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: frustration because it's a it's like a super ish team 353 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: that the Padres keep building and mortgaging future and they 354 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: can't get over the hump and they can't win games, 355 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: and the frustration kind of pours over a little bit. 356 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how Sodo progresses. Tyler O'Neil 357 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: sitting out Thursday with next stiffness. I thought I saw 358 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: this morning. Maybe I was incorrect, but I thought I 359 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: saw he went on the il and that was what 360 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: pushed Alec Burlson. But maybe not. 361 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 3: Maybe that's why Dylan Carlson is on the IL. That's 362 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: what it was. 363 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: Dylan Carlson was put on the I L and Tyler and' 364 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: neil sitting, which has got Alec Burlson in and an 365 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: MRI confirmed an ankle sprain for Wilson Contreras no structural 366 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: damage here, and a note is fantasy managers should consider 367 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: moving on from him as he might not play the 368 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: rest of the way. This is a note from Wonky, which, yeah, 369 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I agree if you've got a 370 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: sprained ankle near the cubs, I'm not really sure what 371 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: that's going to look like the rest of the year. 372 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: There's probably going to be better options that are going 373 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: to be sitting out on the wire, and I would 374 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: as well. I would probably move on from Contras if 375 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: you need to. I always want to give that as 376 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: a preface, because I think everybody throws around all these 377 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: statements like, oh, you can cut him, you can get 378 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: rid of him, and it's like, well, if you need to, 379 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: if you've got an IL, drop the guy in an ale, 380 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: then you don't have to have any of these worries. 381 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: But if you are in an IL crunch. I do 382 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: have a couple of leagues where miles are full and 383 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: I've got to start making decisions. And if that's the case, 384 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: this is probably somebody you can move on from due 385 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: to that injury and the lack of production. You're going 386 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: to get rest of you or do you agree with that? 387 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: I do? 388 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 2: I think you know, an added wrinkle here is that 389 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: he's an impending free agent, So I feel like the 390 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 2: Cubs they don't have any reason to rush him back. 391 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: They probably need to start figuring out the position long term. 392 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: And you know, I think this is a reasonable moment 393 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: for them to basically say, Okay, thank you for your service. 394 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 2: It's time for us to go in a new direction. 395 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, look at the chat too. They're just they're 396 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: ready to jump on the Padres to Drury fell off 397 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: a wall. Chris said, wasn't he supposed to be the 398 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: next mantle for Soda? Oh? They're turning they're alternate. That's 399 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: actually you know, this is really funny. Bagman brought this 400 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: up to me of like, he's like, have you ever 401 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: seen like Padres Twitter? And I do, But I see 402 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: the positive side of Padres Twitter since I cover a 403 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: lot of their minor leagues out here locally, and you know, 404 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: I get video of these guys. I'm around a lot 405 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: of these guys, so I get all the positivity of 406 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: the people that are like the future, and hey, all 407 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: these prospects, and they get very excited that I'm sharing stuff. 408 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: But yeah, well I live I live in the Washington, 409 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 2: DC area, so I have a little different perspective on it. 410 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 2: You know, he was so beloved in this area, and 411 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: you know, DC is on the East Coast, but the 412 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: fan base is not like the Northeast. 413 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 3: I mean, I grew up in Boston. You know, the 414 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 3: fan base in d C is very different. 415 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 2: They really love their players and they maybe don't expect 416 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: that much of them, honestly. But I think the real 417 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: disappointment here was, of course that when they traded trade Turner, 418 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: the whole reason was so they could keep Jan Soto 419 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: and then that didn't turn out happening either. 420 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 3: But you know, it's it's always tough with these things. 421 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 2: These guys that are loved with the team that they 422 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 2: come up with, they go to a new situation and 423 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 2: they don't have that history with that fan base, so 424 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: it's huge expectations, a lot of pressure, and it can 425 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 2: go sour really quickly. 426 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: Very very true. No time all right, little palette cleanser. 427 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: Here a couple things This day in baseball nineteen seventy two, 428 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: Fergie Jenkins of the Chicago Cubs beat Philadelphia Phillies four 429 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: to three for his twentieth victory of the season. It 430 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: was his It was the sixth straight year the Jenkins 431 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: won at least twenty games. Can you imagine? 432 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 3: I can't. 433 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: I can only think of a handful of guys that 434 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: have won twenty games in the last like ten or 435 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: fifteen years. And unfortunately, the first one that comes to 436 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: my dumb brain is Ian Kennedy because with the diamondback, 437 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: so think of six straight seasons. Fergie Jenkins was quite 438 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: the thing. 439 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 2: I'm curious how many starts he made that season, because 440 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 2: I feel like that was the tail end of the 441 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: era where pitchers would just throw three times. 442 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 3: A week or something like that. I'm not sure he 443 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: actually was doing that though. 444 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's psibility. Here's another modern day era question for you, 445 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: and you can partake in this one. This one I 446 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: just thought was fascinating. I was really interested in it. 447 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: And the question is who holds no cheating Anybody who 448 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: holds the modern era record for most consecutive strikeouts to 449 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: begin a game. And this is a two parter. I'll 450 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: give you credit for what's the number, and then the player, 451 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: because I think that's like if you if someone says 452 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: the guy in the number, I'm gonna immediately think you cheated. 453 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: There's no way. But again, the question is who holds 454 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: the modern era, modern era record for most consecutive strikeouts 455 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: to begin a game? So bang, bang boom, they keep going. 456 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: I will accept either the number and the name. I'll 457 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: give you credit if you get the number. Any guesses 458 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: to who this person is. The one other hint I 459 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: will give you it is like, uh, you know, it's 460 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: a guy that's going now. 461 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: No, it is okay, because I was going now maybe 462 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 2: it was that Fergie Jenkins trivia, but I was I 463 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: had my mind back in the sixties with like Bob 464 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 2: Gibson or Sandy Kofags or something. 465 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: No, it's a guy that's pitching, you know this season, 466 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: So modern day consecutive strikeouts to begin a game? 467 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 3: How about Verlander? 468 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: It's a great guess. That is not but that's a 469 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: great guess. 470 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 3: Nine nine strikeouts. 471 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: That is the number. 472 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 3: You know, Hey, I got I got half credit. 473 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna give you that. Okay, so you got 474 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: the number. It is nine strikeouts to begin a game. 475 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: Nine strikeouts. This actually made me laugh, vapor, said Chris Davis. 476 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: Not that type of strikeout. That is the best guess 477 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: I've ever you know, I mean, that's actually making me laugh, 478 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: like though it's building and building and building, it's making 479 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: me laugh. Nine strikeouts. You absolutely nail the number. Now 480 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: the pitcher, does anybody have it? JP guess Corbin Burns. 481 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: That is incorrect, Wonky, said Blake Snell. Oh man, that's 482 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: not right, man, that's not it. Oh Tawny is a guest, Kershaw. 483 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: These are all great guesses. It's gonna it's gonna be rough, 484 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: rough for you guys to get it. I'll let you 485 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: sit on it and we'll do some stuff heroes, and 486 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: we'll come back to it. The I'm gonna give you 487 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: one extra hint. It's an NL pitcher. It's a current 488 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: NL pitcher. So there's your other little hint that you get. Like, 489 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: Kershaw would have been a great guest, But that's not it. 490 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: Let's go through some stat heroes. Aristide is a Kenyell 491 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: three for four two homers three RBI whoa This is 492 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: like our once or twice a year little gift we 493 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: get from a Kenyo until he goes back into his hole, 494 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,719 Speaker 1: until winter comes back. So two homers, three RBI. Eric 495 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: Hass five for five with a homer, David v r 496 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: two homers, going two for three with three RBI, Elloy 497 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: Jimenez coming back into it with a homer. Ed Mundo Sosa, 498 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: He's We've mentioned his name a couple times over the 499 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: last week. He had a homer with three RBIs, Dalton 500 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: Varshow had two bombs, Michael Tolia homer with four RBIs, 501 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: Max Munci, Johannio Swarez, and von grishapihanhe Swarrez two homers. 502 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: He has been quite the quite the little productive offensive player. 503 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: And it makes me think back to the beginning of 504 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: the year when I'm playing up his stats here, when 505 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: Mike Mayer had pulled up this weird, crazy thing in 506 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: the first month that essentially said Johannel Swarez was more 507 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: valuable than Jose Ramirez. It was like Yahoo's Points League 508 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: algorithm or some nonsense. We're all laughing about it. But 509 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: Andrew Swarez has put up twenty seven homers, but only 510 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: a two thirty three batting average this year. You think 511 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: Swarez is on the uptick for next year? Is a 512 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: guy we need to keep an eye on, or is 513 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: that batting average still going to keep him down in 514 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: the drudges. 515 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to say he's on the uptick. 516 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 3: He's thirty years old. 517 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 2: I think we know what kind of a player he 518 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: is at this point, and he has tons of power 519 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 2: and he strikes out thirty percent of the time, So 520 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: he's going to hit for a low average. You know, 521 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: back when he played in Cincinnati, I feel like that 522 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: was ideal for him, and he did have that forty 523 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: nine home run season back in twenty nineteen when everybody 524 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: was hitting a lot of home runs. But you know, 525 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: it's it's not quite as easy for him in Seattle. 526 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 2: He's still big time power, but yeah, I mean the 527 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: warts are are very apparent with him. 528 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: Von Grisham continues to keep rolling grisome, if I say correctly, 529 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: five homers, four stolen bases, three forty seven batting average, 530 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: been playing some outfield, So as soon as Zzzie comes 531 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: back out, I don't think that bat is going anywhere 532 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: in the lineup. So feel really good about that on 533 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: the pitching side, Jacob de Gram struck out eight to 534 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: over seven. That under eight and a half k prop 535 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: if it exists anywhere, has cashed. I think two of 536 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: the last three times. Alec Manoah had five strikeouts in 537 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: eight innings, Chris Bassett struck out ten over seven, Garrett 538 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: Cole struck out fourteen in six and two thirds, and 539 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: Kyle Frielan had eight strikeouts in six innings in a 540 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: rare good Colorado performance. Now the correct name has been said, 541 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give him credit. I'm going to assume 542 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: he didn't cheat here because maybe he just as a fan. 543 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: Pabo Lopez was the answer to the trivia question. Pablo 544 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: Lopez started off a game in twenty twenty one against 545 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: the Braves with nine consecutive strikeouts. For whatever reason, that's 546 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: insanely impressive to me. That like that is something that 547 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: jumps out to me. And I don't know what, like 548 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: perfect innings, I don't know that just doesn't really like 549 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: do it for me, but that number specifically just jumps 550 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: way way out to me, and I love that nine 551 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: straight consecutive. 552 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 2: Strike Yeah, there should be a name for that, because 553 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 2: we've got to strike out the side as a name, 554 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 2: So we need something for strike out the entire lineup consecutively. 555 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, let's think about it. 556 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 3: I like that. 557 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: I like where your head is going here. By the way, Wonky, 558 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: you're right about this. You just realize we thought not 559 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: one single double digit number guy hit a homer, but 560 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: Aristo esu Kenya, who's forty four, that was the one 561 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: guy yesterday that would have got the Wonky bonus if 562 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: someone would have picked. So just pointing that out. Stat 563 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: zero's Kyle Garlic went oh for seven with five strikeouts 564 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: in the doubleheader. That's hard to do. Ronald guzmano for 565 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: five with four k's, Cody Thomas so for four with 566 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: four k's, and Tyler O'Neill oh for three with three k's. 567 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: That's a pretty it's been a pretty copy and paste 568 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: line for him, kind of back to his old ways. 569 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: On the pitching side, Eric Lauer got lit up seven 570 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,479 Speaker 1: runs and two and two thirds only two strikeouts. Tommy Henry, 571 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: my guy with the Diamondbacks, gave up five earned runs. 572 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: He started off pretty nice, but then it unveiled and 573 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: I think he gave up like three or four homers. 574 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: Four and one third. Ovioto had four and runs and 575 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: two innings just under two innings. Alex Cobb gave up 576 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: three earned runs but couldn't get out of the fifth, 577 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: and Michael Kopek did hit his k prop what we 578 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: talked about yesterday, but he only went three and two 579 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: thirds with four earned runs, so no point home. So 580 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: as we mentioned the home run contest, no one really 581 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: got to take advantage of the double double home run calls. 582 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: So just keep that in mind because the contest is 583 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: getting real close. I don't have an overlay for you. 584 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: It was not given one today. But friends, we have 585 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: a tie at the top of the home run race 586 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: because Cat Fox got on the board yesterday with a 587 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: mic Trout homer and is now tied with d Blum. 588 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: We have two people at the top with forty nine 589 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: home runs. High Cuby has been at the top of 590 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: this list like all freaking year, and he's down at 591 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: forty eight. L Scales at forty eight, go cards at 592 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: forty seven. Mike Mayer and Joey still on the board unfortunately, 593 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: but Dee Blum and Cat Fox at the top. They 594 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: are racing this bad boy out to be the home 595 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: run King of leading off in Fantasy Pros.

They're projecting almost two, so you're gonna 654 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: have to parlay that with something. There's a plus money 655 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: play there. Number one is dermos Garcia, who just needs 656 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: one total base in the game, and it is plus 657 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: one oh five on DK, So if you wanted to 658 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: play the algorithm, you can maybe parla these parlay those 659 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: two together.

Anything out of those that you like, Andrew, 666 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: would you pick one? 667 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I know you're saying it's really juice, but 668 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 2: that Joey Manessa's one. I mean, that's like a walk 669 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 2: in the park. Man He's gonna have that in the 670 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 2: first inning. 671 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: I kind of think so too. Yeah, well, it's not 672 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: a Tuesday, as we mentioned, so it might be a 673 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: little bit tougher. 674 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 3: But it might. 675 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 2: In my column at Fantasy Pros my Waiver Wire, when 676 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: I first wrote about him like a month and a 677 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 2: half ago, when whenever he first started hitting, I called 678 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: him the nominee for the Frank Schwindell of twenty twenty 679 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: two award, and he is definitely earning that award. He 680 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 2: continues to rake I see no end in sight at 681 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 2: least until the end of this season. 682 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: He actually might be one of the biggest surprises of 683 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: this year. From absolute nobody, I mean, as a prospect person, 684 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,959 Speaker 1: was not on any type of radar whatsoever. And then 685 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: hitting the way he gets is one of the bigger 686 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: surprises of this year. That has some pretty good impact 687 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: for you on the back end here. So if you 688 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: want to, like I said, you gotta parlay that thing 689 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: because it's you know, it's two to one against your money, 690 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: so you got to put that with something and go 691 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: and check it out. You know, there's also it's a 692 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: big strikeout prop day as well. You've got Dylan Cees, 693 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: You've got Sandale Contry, you got Corbyn Burns if you 694 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: like any of those. I believe the cease number is 695 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: eight and a half. And betting pros like the under 696 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: kind of like Sandy's if I'm being honest with you 697 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: guys against Philly, I think it was only five and 698 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: a half, So that would be one I would take. 699 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: Maybe get Sandy and Manessas and you can put those 700 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: two together into a little two teamer and get some 701 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: bets going. So go and check it out over on 702 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: the DFS side, Dylan Cee's ten to eight on FanDuel's 703 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: Sandale Contra ten two, Corbyn Burns nine to eight, for 704 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: the big dog pictures. I don't think there's a lot 705 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: of I don't know. I mean, obviously you might want 706 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: to pivot off of some of the lower pitchers, but 707 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of a whole bunch of 708 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: them lineup builders for implied runs. No one was implied 709 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: for over five today, but Milwaukee, Saint Louis, and the 710 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: Cubs were all your top projected runs. So if you 711 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: guys want to build some stacks out of those, you 712 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: want to get some guys high in the lineup, Maybe 713 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: a little sales Azuki or something. You could put those together. 714 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: And that leads us finally to the home run call 715 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: of the day. Look at this, Mike Mayor just jumps 716 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: on the list and took my same guy. Unbelievable Mayor 717 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: when he does this, but I love him. Though it's 718 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: kind of a BVB play. I'm going with Bryce Harper, 719 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: as is Mike Mayor. But what does it matter. I 720 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: haven't been hitting Homer, so I just need to write 721 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: anybody's coattails. But me and may are going together. Walkee's 722 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: got Christian Yelich for the day, Andrew who you're gonna 723 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: go with? There's not a ton of ton of great 724 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: great options. Actually a lot of good pitching today. But 725 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: where are you gonna go for home run call? 726 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say. 727 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: I feel like I always picked Cardinals, and I this 728 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: like today, I have to pick a Cardinal really, as 729 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 2: long as I'm allowed to. The game started twenty minutes ago, 730 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 2: but I have not checked the stats yet. I just 731 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 2: you look at the slate today and you've got a 732 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: double header, So that's out. You've got a contra Sunny 733 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 2: Gray Nester Cortez pitching. I don't really want to think 734 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: against those guys. Then the you know, the Cubs and 735 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 2: the Reds and the Marlins don't hit any home runs really, 736 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 2: so I have to you notice I didn't pick Josiah 737 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 2: Gray for that prop bet, I'm gonna pick the Cardinals too. 738 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 2: I do a little bit of damage to Josiah Gray today, 739 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: So give me Nolan Aeronado. 740 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 3: Since I've been taking Gould Schmid lately, I'll go with 741 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 3: Aeronauto all right. 742 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: Nolan Aernado is the Marker and friends.
