WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off April 29th, 2022 (Ep. 500) 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.040 Another big day from the Big Hoss. Let's play ball. 0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:19.040 Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is leading off. 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.479 It is me, Joey b Joe Pi's apia with me 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.319 today is Scott Bogman because Officer Welsh is under the 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.560 weather as we knew yesterday, so special thanks to Bogs 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.400 filling in for him today. I still have a voice 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.120 as of right now after four and a half hours 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:36.440 of coverage of the NFL Draft last night, so we'll 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.240 see how far we get. But we are brought to 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.440 you as always on our Fantasy Pros MLB channel by 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.080 Bet MGM, the King of sportsbooks, Scott Bogman. It was 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.159 a busy night of football, so it's nice to have 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.400 a little soorbet, a little palate cleanser, if you will, 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.040 of baseball to talk about. So, how are you adjusting 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.280 to life with Kenny Pickett? Number one and number two? 0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.960 How do you feel about some of the stuff he's 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.520 last night Major League Baseball, including Ronald Acunya coming back 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.200 and oh wait, stealing two bases which he wasn't supposed 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:06.399 to do. 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:11.640 Kenny Pickett is, whatever, you know, not my favorite pick, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.959 but the Steelers have had worse. So I'm not not 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.280 like upset. But with the yesterday, with the baseball, the 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.360 pitching was phenomenal. It was so good yesterday. It was 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.040 really incredible. We had a hard time finding a stat 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.640 zero for pictures because they were all so bleo good. Yeah, 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.560 so you know, that was very, very impressive. Seeing all 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.360 those good pictures with all the strikeouts, and seeing that 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.560 Alec Manoa was on the lance Lynn diet in the 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:36.880 off season is also great. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:37.760 So love that. 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.880 Love me a hoss, Give me a big ol' hoss 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.000 like lance Lynn Alec Manoa. Not enough of those guys. 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.280 I want everybody to be built like Lamar Hoyt from 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.280 the eighties. That's what I want. And if you get 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.320 that reference, then you and I can be friends. Everyone 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.360 out there. All right, let's kick things off here with 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.080 Ronald Acuna, who did get a hit and as I said, 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.880 stole two bases in his season debut, which is just 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.200 ironic and hilarious to me because that was the one 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.760 thing he wasn't supposed to do right away, is run. Well, 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.160 you can check that off the list. It looks like 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.800 everything's fine there. Kyle Wright strikes out eight in that 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.240 same game, he continues to be strong. Kyle Wright has 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.400 been outstanding. I got an interesting question today from mister Bell, 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.760 one of our listeners. He tweeted at me at a 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.880 question he was trying to make a trade. He was 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.440 talking about selling low on wit Maryfield but buying high 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.640 on Kyle Wright. And what I told him was, if 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.480 you're desperate for pitching, that's a move I can understand. 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.799 If you could pull it off, it's great. Typically it's 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.240 hard to sell low on a good player and then 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.280 buy high on somebody who's pitching well right now. But 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.400 if you can pull it off in the short term, 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.920 I also recommended possibly flipping Kyle Wright again later in 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.320 the year, because you would imagine the next couple starts 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.480 are still good. We're gonna be good for a few months. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.040 I'm concerned when we start to look toward the latter 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.200 part of the season, how the innings start to catch 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:53.520 up to him a little bit, and what he looks 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.160 like with wear and tear. What are your thoughts on 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.760 for those people who have Kyle Wright, either trying to 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.520 acquire him, thinking about him as an act, how do 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:01.960 you think of him as an asset and just read 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:02.799 draft leagues. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.560 I mean, he's he's solid and whatever he's doing this 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.320 yere is, it's obviously working. I just I love the 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.160 let's trade for him now, but then let's trade him later. 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.000 It feels very much like that school project where you 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.040 had where they give you a paper clip and they 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.000 have to see what you end up with. And you know, 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.799 there's always one kid that ends up with like a 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.880 nineteen eighty Cadillac somewhere after starting out with the paper clip, 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.600 And that's what you're trying to get to by doing 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.240 this trade. But look, especially in a points league, that 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.280 that's a solid trade. I understand, Like whit Manfield is 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.240 very very frustrating right now. So if you think this 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.040 is kind of him, you know, on the decline overall 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.320 in his career, yeah, because Kyle Wright is definitely on 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.440 the rise. So I understand it. Don't know if it's 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.560 something I would do, because I am a whit Marrifield 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.120 stand and I think he's gonna come around. But I 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.400 understand the I understand the logic. It makes a lot 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:57.800 of sense. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.360 All right, Let's move on to some more head lines. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.760 Nolan Aernado two game suspension, he will appeal, Taylor Ward 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.040 plates two in the Halo's victory over the Guardians. Now 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.040 he also this this hit that he had was a 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.800 little punch and judy kind of hit for Taylor Ward. 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.640 And I don't know, man, this to me, I just 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.800 don't think this is sustainable. I mean, he's getting every 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.839 balance of the ball every which way, and it's just 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.120 not gonna last. Rys so Iglesias got his fifth save 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.520 Alec Manoa. As you mentioned before, the Haws spends seven 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.200 shutout innings against the Red Sox and then Zach Wheeler 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.280 shuts out the Rockies. So a Zach Wheeler sighting. He 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.960 did walk a few guys in this start. But is 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.599 this a good sign for Zach Wheeler or is this 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.360 your opportunity to move on? 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.000 Oh? No, no, no, I think this is him straightening it out. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.680 So I'm I'm very happy because like right after, you know, 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:53.039 justin Verlanders two first really good starts. Well, Shafstman, do 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.880 you think you think you would trade Verlander for Wheeler 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:56.160 right now? 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:57.800 And I said, yeah, I think at the end of 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:58.160 the year. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.240 I'm gonna want Wheeler and do just Verlanders just keeps 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.359 stacking good starts on top of each other. So I 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.599 was probably wrong about that, but I'm glad to see 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.400 Wheelers starting to finally turn it around a little bit. 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.359 Let's go and you could. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.440 Tell how much the Peanuts and the Crackerjacks really pay 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.159 attention to our show because the red Bee is wondering 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.279 if this is a new chair that I've got. No, 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.160 it's not a new chair. It's my regular office chair 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.200 that I sit in. But I had to change all 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.560 my setup last night because of the NFL Draft show. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.120 So because I changed the setup, and because I knew 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.560 I was gonna be sitting here for five hours, I 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.840 decided that I would get the the comfy or chair 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.680 as opposed to the one that probably looks better on camera. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.480 I don't care. It's all about comfort level, Bob. But 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.680 you know that as we get older, that's what I 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:46.400 don't care. Injury note, Luckily it's only one today. Vlad 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.800 Guerrero Junior expected to play on Friday night. He's been 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.080 doing with a foot issue, so that's good news. Also 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.680 a nice moment, a little feel good moment. Wilson and 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.800 William Contreras exchange the lineup cars before playing each other 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.120 and beutiful moment there, brother. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:06.000 Way better felt way better than you know, fighting from 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.160 the day before. You know what I mean with Aeronatto 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.960 and the entire Mets team. So yes, much happier. Note 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.239 today I like it, Yes, much happier. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:15.559 Note. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.760 Also, here's a fun little trivia fact out they we're 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.679 gonna throw out there. The year was nineteen ninety four 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.640 on this date, the twenty ninth of April Bogman, and 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.040 I'm using this as an example about hot starts. Kirk 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.360 Reader of Montreal became the first major league pitcher since 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.480 Fernando Valenzuela in nineteen eighty one to start his career 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.320 with a ten and oh record as the Expos beat 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.440 the Pittsburgh Pirates three two. Now, I remember Kirk Reader 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.840 in my lifetime, and I remember him, I want to say, 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.279 later pitching for the Giants Giants Research. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.840 Yeah, that's how I remember Kirk Reader too. Yeah. 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.440 But ten and oh, which is a reminder. And Fernando 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.000 Valenzuela was obviously came up and just took major League 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.520 Baseball over by storm. It's one of those those things 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.520 where it's great when you see a note like that 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.320 because it kind of sets you back and reminds you, 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.200 oh right, It can't always be this good. And I'm 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.200 looking at the guys who have gotten off to great stars. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.920 Alec Manoa is one of them. I think Alec Minoa 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.960 is the exception to this rule. We talked about him 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.960 a lot as we were getting into season preparation. Do 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.200 you think he finishes the year as a top ten 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.880 fantasy pitcher? And should he be somebody we pay attention 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.040 to for American League? Cy Young with the way he's 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.080 going right now, because he right now is someone no 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.880 one's been talking about, and I think that tune's gonna 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:33.760 change very shortly. 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.000 Yeah, I mean he could definitely. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.560 I think he has the ability to finish in the 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.480 top ten for sure. When I bet on it, probably not. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.840 I mean, you know, one hundred and eleven innings last season, 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:50.360 is that his absolute high? I think it is, so yeah, 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.440 it is just looking at his other stats here, that's. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:53.960 His absolute hyeh. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.480 So I just don't know how if they're going to 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.360 put him on an innings cap or anything like that. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.720 So I wouldn't have him as top ten, but I 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.080 high he looks good right now, so and you know, 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.800 hopefully trim down a little bit, so, but he looks great. 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.080 Some great stuff here by the way, and the Peanuts 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.120 and the cracker Jack Gallery. Because Mike Mayer said, best 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:13.800 part of the NFL Draft show last night is when 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:18.119 Joe describes what's happening on television, which I agree. Also 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.200 Doctor Glenn chimes in and says, Joe reacts to TV shows. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.600 As a web series, I would watch It's funny. You 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.520 should mention this because I was actually thinking about starting 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.520 one where I just watch nineties videos and I comment 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.800 about what's going on and the choices that have been made, 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:34.719 kind of like Beavis and butt Head basically. 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.280 Are you are you the Bob Saget replacement? Is that 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:41.880 what's happening? Well, not like America's Funny America's Funniest tone videos. 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.319 Not like that, not like that. 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.200 More, just don't let that be weird sucking your head 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.280 all day, the America's Funniest videos. 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.600 That's a weird choices that were made in the eighties 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.200 and nineties. Because at the gym today they have like 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.280 I think it's like that that whatever that channel is 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.199 on in the morning for us old farts at the gym, 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.040 or you know that people are retired or working in 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.760 weird hours, like me and I gotta tell you some 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.920 of the videos they get laid out there are absolutely 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.880 hilarious and you're watching them as you're like walking around 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.480 the gyin, going what the hell were they thinking about? 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:13.280 I'm a video together? 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.120 What do you think I'd like every break that I 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.200 take from work is on Instagram to send you videos 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:20.520 like every single one. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.240 Maybe if this is something you and I should do 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.320 and I should curate this, I should curate this and 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.200 you watch the videos perfect. 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.400 I think this is it easily done. 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.360 This is fantastic. All right, here we go. It's a 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.280 new show. Thank you, Peanuts and Cracker Jacks. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:34.360 Awesome. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.240 All right, let's move on to the next bid. Here 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.920 we have two pieces of trivia. One is from MLB 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.920 and the other is from Mike Mayor. Mike Mayer had 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.400 one he throughout me this morning and I got it right. 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.440 Even though he says I cheated, I did not. There 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.480 are two players currently have a K percentage over forty 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.160 percent major League Baseball. Both of them are in the 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.440 American League, both are veterans. Can you name those two players? 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.839 Scott Bogman or Peanuts and Rackerjacks. Got any hints right now? 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:08.000 And for forty. This is for hitters or pitchers. I'm 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:08.960 sorry hitters. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.120 Hitters k rate. Oh, joe Joey Gallo is he one 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.920 of them? Joey Gallo is one of them and was 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.640 the one. The guy's been around for a while. No, 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.559 good guess. Good guess is not Miguelson. No, if you've 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.199 got one of the peanuts and crack jacks you want 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:24.200 to put out there, go for it. 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:24.760 Uh. 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.040 But while you're thinking about that, another one. Yadier Molina 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.120 has sixteen seasons with at least one stolen base? Who 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.760 holds the American League slash National League record among catchers 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.880 for most seasons with at least one stolen base? The 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.560 answer will shock and awe you. I can tell you 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.480 that much. So catcher who has at least one steal 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:50.440 every year for more than sixteen consecutive seasons. No, it's well, yes, 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:51.800 but which Pudge? 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:53.719 Ivon Rodriguez? 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:59.080 Wrong Pudge, Wronggi Pudge? Who's the original Pudge? Carlton Fisk. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.160 Carlton Fisk. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.160 Of course he did catch for seven hundred forty two years, 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.559 But that's true. Yeah, And the answer to the other 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.360 guy at the top of the k rate list is 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.640 Fran mil Reyes. So, Joey Gallo or fran mil Reyes, 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.240 who would you rather have the rest. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.880 Of the season, Scott Bodman, Uh, fran Mel. I think 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.920 Fraan Meil will turn that k right around. We know 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.160 Joey Gallo won't, so it'll be very high. Probably won't 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.800 be forty, but it'll be very very high. So I'll 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.920 take fran Mell on that one. 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.280 All right, Let's move ahead here to the stat heroes 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.439 we talked about. Alec Manoa nowhearned run, seven strong innings, 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.160 seven k's, just one walk, absolutely domind Freddy Peralta looking 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:39.000 like Freddie P, thank goodness. Six innings, no earned three hits, 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.160 no walk, seven k's. This is why you don't panic 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.880 in those early April starts, folks. Freddy P turning around, 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.920 Maurteine Perez seven innings, one earned run. 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.719 Two it was perfect through six. He was great yesterday. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.400 Yeah, so it's you know, even a broken clock is 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.840 wrong twice a day, you know. Justin Ferlander, my Cy 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.840 Young investment looking very good. Seven innings, one earned run, 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.040 four hits, no walks, eight k's. We mentioned Wheelers bounce 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.480 back and Kyle Wright good he did walk four guys, 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.760 Kyle Wright with the eight k's, but he still won 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.959 seven innings. So as long as he's going that distance, 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.400 that shorter bridge to the wind very important. Jose Quintana. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.840 There's a name that hasn't made this show, and I 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.160 don't know quite some time. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.560 When it's going, it's going. It's when it's going, it's gone. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.480 Whatever stars aligned, you know, for for your star chart 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.240 there for those people it worked for pitching yesterday. So 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.160 Jose Kintana on the sheet, Martin Perez on the sheet. 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.320 Two of these things are not like the others, right, Joe, No, No, 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.760 we expect to see Manoa Peralta Verlander, not so much 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.560 Martin Perez, and certainly not Jose Kintana. Nine strike nine, 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.560 nine strikecouts for Jose Cantanna, zero walks in five innings 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.120 for the Pirates. You know, Jose Cantana, once upon a 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.320 time was one of my favorite pitchers in fantasy. He 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.160 was so consistent, and nobody wanted him because he was 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:00.440 on bad White Sox teams. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.319 And then I remember we got traded to the Cubs, 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:03.920 and I went, oh, this is great, going to a 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.400 better team. Things can only go up. Nope, his career 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.559 is never the same after that, and I don't understand 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.520 why every bit of logic would suggest that things were 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.520 on the upswing for him and his career basically fell apart. 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.000 So I have no idea what's going on, any any 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:19.719 reasons why you could think of why this went in 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.280 the wrong direction when everything should have suggested the right 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.240 way was coming. 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:24.000 No. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.120 I mean, it's just one of those things where you know, 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.320 sometimes you zig when you should zag and it just 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.640 doesn't work out or whatever. So, uh, you know, look, 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.839 we can tell that jose Kintana is a solid picture 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.360 because he's still in the bigs eating up innings, even 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.560 though it's for the pirates whatever. But there's plenty of 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.440 guys that wish they had jose Kintana's job. So he's 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.600 got a little left in that arm, I guess, and 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.040 this start proved it. So I don't think he'll do 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:53.000 you over under on nine strikeout games for jose Kintana 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:54.280 for the rest of this season. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.360 Under how we put it out a half and I'll 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.920 take the under. I'll still take the under on that 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.960 half on that one. The king of not learning to 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.360 zig win you should zag, by the way, Rickon Stark 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.319 still from game thron still. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.600 Not so much dirty? 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.319 Come on, well, you know, I mean, come on, straight line, 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.360 straight line? What are you thinking about? All right? Hitters? Yesterday? 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.720 Andrew mcuchen, he was definitely a lineup builder in DFS today. 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.800 I watched actually caught some McCutcheon at bats and some 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.200 highlights after the draft last night when I was watching 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.960 little MLB, just kind of flipping around, and McCutcheon looks 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.720 really good at the plate, and I actually caught a 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.520 couple of bats of his earlier in the week two. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.040 He's very locked in. So whatever's going on here with Kutch? 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:36.920 You ride the wave and he's sitting clean up in 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:42.360 that order to from Yeah, Pittsburgh, gotta love that, you 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.600 know a little bit, a little bit, uh, you gotta 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.560 love that. Austin Hayes four for five with an RBI 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.040 iron judge at a home run for Ribby's yesterday made 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.760 Machado still red hot four for five. I continue to 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.440 say he's an interesting long shot for m v P. Dude. 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.160 That's what I was thinking when I was watching him 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:57.800 last night too. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.720 Was you know that when he had the four hits 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.040 and one of them was like a sky fly ball 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.680 that nobody could get under and the candidate has a hit. 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.720 I'm like, dude, when it's going, it is going for 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.640 this guy. What are his MVP odds right now? I 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.760 mean they shrinking everything I talked about it. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.640 I talked about it, I would say the first week 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.080 of the season because I thought it was intriguing. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:21.760 He's one of those guys that's always kind of in 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.440 the back of your mind of well, this guy could 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:25.920 win MVP if he puts it all. 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.120 The game is the path, right, because the path is 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.360 always whenever you have a great player playing with you, 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.640 it's tough. But because Tatis is out, if he carries 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.440 them for these first three months, it's just brilliant. He 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.600 on FANDLE plus twenty two hundred, same over on bed 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.960 MG one. So yeah, I'm got twenty to one minimum 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.680 basically for him and that Look, that's a hell of 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.480 a wager right now. I mean you could put ten 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.200 bucks on that and be very happy and then see 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.160 if it shrinks a little bit and then double it. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.240 You know, do the old Bryce Harper waight of doing things, 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.560 you know, like we did last year. This is how 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.680 you play the futures. Market. You make an investment on 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.520 a player with a small amount at a big number, 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.440 and then as the number increases, you increase the number 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.640 you invest. This is how you win money consistently and 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.360 then if things are going well and then you sided. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.280 You can always cash out on certain sites too, where 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.760 you can you know, take the money and run and 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.680 just take plus money on which you had already. So 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.560 a lot of sites they want you to cash out 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.040 because they start to fear the fact that you had 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.880 it in a really good number and they'd rather pay you, 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.880 you know, seventy five dollars or two hundred, so if 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.600 you think it's probably not gonna last at the end 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:27.400 of the day, they. 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.320 Should have done five. Brady last year. Shit done with 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.240 Brady last year. Should cashed out early, had a shot 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:34.040 and didn't do it. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.600 I had Brady. I did cash out early on that 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.920 one because I still say if everyone had known this 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.360 was his quote last season and then ended up not 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.240 being his last season, he would have won. They would 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.400 have been the Brady Parade. But that's what held it back. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:48.680 All. 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.080 Let's continue on with some of these guys. Dansby Swanson, 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.480 who was one of our holds from yesterday. Good thing 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.440 he held him one home run yesterday to for three, 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.000 Roman Quinn siding with two stolen bases. That makes my 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.240 friend Tim mcloudfory happy. I know. Carlos Krea three for 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.720 five with three RBI, Corey Seer also cheap on FanDuel tonight. 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:08.240 We'll get to him later in the show. A home 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.760 run two for four, and Paul Goschmitt getting hot after 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.480 a slow start to the season three for four with 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.720 three Ribby's. And look, everybody was really good from the 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.399 pitching side. Mayor was saying it to me today, you 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.560 were saying it to me. So no stat zeros on 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.520 the pitchers. But of course the k parade continues. Salperez 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.080 over five with the golden sombrero, Hunter Renfro over five 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.200 with the hat trick, hitting two twelve with two dingers, 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:33.600 three eighteen games. I would still buy yeah, over five, Yeah, 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:34.040 go ahead, and. 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:38.320 That's not gonna happen very often. The Hunter Renfro, I'm 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:39.240 still in on too. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:40.080 Yeah, me too. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.960 One hundred KNDA be still in on this guy. I 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.119 mean a lot of guys are streaky and they're just 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.280 starting the year cold. So it's gonna swing the other way, 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.159 and they're gonna get white hot pretty soon. I think 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.000 he's one of those guys all. 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.760 The renfro baby Connor Joe over five two k's hitting 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.040 one eighty four over the last ten days, So Connor Joe, 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.359 what a difference a week makes? Randall gritchik four with 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.560 the hat trick three k's say it's Suzuki o for 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.879 four to two k's. I hope you listen because some 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.000 parties over the last days. Yeah, I told everybody. I 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:13.840 was like, look, I said, costca Fuku Dome all over again. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:19.160
