1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the cycle, Part two, the final

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: part of the week. I know we usually do three parts,

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: but this week we're keeping it a little shorter to

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: be nice to our production and editing team ahead of

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: the fourth of July holiday, So we're going to kind

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: of loop our second and third segments together. We're going

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: to do a couple of just very quick waivers, you know, recommendations,

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: just to say that we hit on them. They will

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: dive into our usual part three episode of Pitching Streamers

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: and our two start pitcher competition. Mayor how are you

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: feeling here at the end of the first half of

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: the regular season. It feels like it went pretty quickly.

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: It does feel like it went pretty quickly. I'm feeling

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: pretty good. As we mentioned in several shows, I'm in

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: a bunch of leagues and the results are all over

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: the place, and I'm really hoping in a couple of

17
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: those leagues to get out of the basement and a

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: couple more to stay near the top and for the

19
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 2: others to fight my way out of the middle.

20
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm hoping you fall further back in one of those

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: leagues so that you will be open to trading me

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Manny Machado, because I I need a third basement even

23
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: more than I did when I first brought this up

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: to you, because Josh Young, who was my first third baseman,

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: is now sent down to the minors. So it's pretty

26
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: disastrous of that position. And my team is really good

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: besides that. But that is really tracking me down. All right,

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: let's dive into Waivers Central. We'll go quickly through this one.

29
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, I just want to give a couple

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: of recommendations here. We don't need to dive deep on

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: these guys. My favorite hitter, I have Auto Lopez, who

32
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 1: is forty four percent roster in Yahoo, twenty six percent

33
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: rostered in ESPN, and fifty three percent rostered in CBS,

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: and Lopez is having a good year. His batting average

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: is only two fifty seven, but is expected batting average

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: and statcast is three oh one. His expected wOBA is

37
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: three seventy two, which is eighty six percentile. So even

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: though maybe some of his numbers, like his OPS is

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: only seven seventeen, but it looks like the underlying data

40
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: is stronger than that. Even though he doesn't have the

41
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: highest average exit velocity or a hard hit rate. The

42
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: other kind of expected numbers look very good for him,

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: and he's been kind of a power speed threat. In

44
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty two played appearances, he has eight

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: home runs and nine stolen bases, so kind of contributing

46
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: in multiple categories. If you think the batting average is

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: going up too, you know, at his age, it'd be

48
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: a reasonable time to expect a breakout. And I think

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: we're going to get twenty stolen bases. I don't know

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: if we'll get twenty homers, but I think we'll get

51
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: over fifteen and a better batting average that we're seeing.

52
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: I think this is a guy who should rostered and

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: at least fifty percent of all leagues, and right now

54
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: he currently isn't. So auto Lopez is the guy for me.

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's also a player trending in the right direction.

56
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: I know I rostered him or much earlier in the

57
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: season because he got I forget if it was a

58
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: hot start or just a hot week, but I picked

59
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: him up and then I ended up not having him

60
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: for very long because he he didn't do very well

61
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: after that. But I will say he batted two twenty

62
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: nine in April to thirty seven in May, and then

63
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: in June. He just hit three oh one, and so

64
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: there goes some you know, there's some of your expected

65
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: batting average there. Words, he's already, you know, kind of

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: turned that corner. He just hit three hundred for a

67
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: full month. It wasn't like a week or two. It

68
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: was a full month of June. Twenty six games. He

69
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: had a three zero one with full home runs, which

70
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: he came into June with only four home months, two

71
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 2: in April, two in May, and so and he's still

72
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: four bases and so June was already his best month.

73
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: And for a player that you want to pick up

74
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: on waivers, that's exactly what you want to see, someone

75
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: trending in the right direction and maybe getting hot just

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: in time to cool off at the All Star break.

77
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So yeah, Auto Lopez, for me, who is

78
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: your favorite hitter?

79
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: So it's hard to say favorite, but he's a hitter.

80
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: But and for me, I kind of looked at this

81
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: as sometimes we talk, you know, am I looking at

82
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: the upcoming week or am I looking for rest of season?

83
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: This one was definitely looking at the upcoming week, especially

84
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: leading into the All Star break. And it's Trevor story

85
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: and part of the Trevor Story experience is that you're

86
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: going to get streaks where he's really cold and streaks

87
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: where he's really hot. Right now he's really hot, and

88
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: so he was. He was dropped in a ton of

89
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: leaks because for a while he was really cold there

90
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: to the point where a lot of Red Sox fans

91
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: for calling for him to be cut or to be

92
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: at least benched in This is when you know, the

93
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: Red Sox fans, we wanted all of those prospects called up,

94
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: and they weren't, and they weren't being called up, and

95
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: Trevor Story was just an automatic out and now he's not.

96
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: Now he's hot again. And so when he's hot, he's

97
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: really hot, and you can get a lot of power

98
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: and you can get a lot of speed. I talked

99
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: about Auto Lopez in June. In June, Trevor Story a

100
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: bad at two eighty six with five four months and

101
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: four stolen bases. And that's even more impressive when you

102
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: consider at the beginning of June he wasn't that good.

103
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: So it just shows you how hot he was at

104
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: the end of the dune, because in May he'd had

105
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: one fifty eight. To give you an idea of how

106
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: bad he was, So for me, this is more of

107
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: a short term kind of hot streak pickup as as

108
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: opposed to someone who is going to save your season,

109
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: but he's also you know, you talk about Otto Lope's

110
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: like Trevor story is pretty much locked for twenty twenty,

111
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty stolen bases. You probably don't want him

112
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: in a points league. You probably want to stick to

113
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: Rote or head to head with what some like Trevor story,

114
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: but yet someone that can provide a lot of value

115
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: in the short term. And I would go and break

116
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: down Joe Adell, who's my other pick? But you can

117
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: basically just repeat everything I just said for Trevor's story.

118
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 2: For Joe Adell, short term pickup really hot right now

119
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: part of the Joe Adell Trevor story experience.

120
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: I've been burned by Joe Adell too many times to

121
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: ride that roller coaster again. If you are struggling with

128
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: favorite pitchers. I gave you two Orioles pitchers last week.

129
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm giving you a third this week. Dean Kramer, who

130
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: I actually probably like better. Well, he's kind of similar

131
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: to Charlie Morton and Trevor Rodgers in terms of how

132
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: my how interested I am in him. But he's rostered

133
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: in fewer places than those guys, which is why I

134
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: wanted to highlight him, because I think he's going to

135
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: give you similar production to them. He's been really hot

136
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: as hot me as of late two sixty one era

137
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: over his last seven starts. There's one bad start in there,

138
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: but has largely been fairly consistent in the other six

139
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: of the last seven. He's only nineteen percent roster on Yahoo,

140
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: nine percent rostered on ESPN, forty one percent on CBS.

141
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: Dean has always been a pitcher who has struggled with consistency,

142
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: but has had you know, very strong outings at times.

143
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: Maybe he's getting a little more consistent.

144
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: Now.

145
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is somebody that you want to

146
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: hold on to if he gets on a cold streak again.

147
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: But I want to pick him up while he's hot

148
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: and then just be willing to drop him if needed,

149
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: if he has a daughter or two, or if I

150
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: want to stream somebody else, but I want to pick

151
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: him up for now. He also gets to start against

152
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: the Marlins next week, which is appealing.

153
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: I would be remiss if I didn't call you out.

154
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: Do you just call him Dean a first name basis?

155
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: Just called him like your paladine.

156
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: A lot of Orioles fans refer to him as Dean

157
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: like on Twitter, so that was just me falling back

158
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: into that. I'm not saying we are at a first

159
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: name basis.

160
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: People you met Chase Dollander's grandparents, Dean Kramer.

161
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: Dean Kramer whenever he is a good adding. There's this

162
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: one kind of fan account in Orioles Twitter that will

163
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: tweet the scene from Community where the Dean is just

164
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: singing Dean Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean Dean, And I always

165
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: think about that when I think of Dean Kramer having

166
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: a good start. So yeah, Dean Dean was in my head.

167
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: Dean Dangerous also from Community. But but yes, Kramer, good picture,

168
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: who's maybe getting a little more consistent, and I would

169
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: want to pick him up for this hot stretches in. Yeah.

170
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: I would also say my wife and I were having

171
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: another child, and if it was a boy, we were

172
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: going to name it Dean, but girl, so we will

173
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: not be naming her Dean Dean mayor Dean mayor mean Dean.

174
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: What would the middle name have been?

175
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: I always want all of So my middle name is

176
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: Ryan because it's a family name. My son's name is

177
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: Nolan Ryan because that's fun. I wanted all of our

178
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: kids name middle name to be Ryan. I wanted my

179
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: daughter's name to the middle to be Ryan, so preferably

180
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: Ryan for all of them. But my wife didn't go

181
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: for that.

182
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, if you do something like I'm

183
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: trying to think of a good like male name that

184
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: starts with an eye like Ivan, then his initials would

185
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: be Dick. Also was Dean. Yeah that was that was

186
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: a very lame joke, but you know, an attempt there.

187
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: So my initials are mister m that's fun. I just

188
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: go My daughters is Jim j Em.

189
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: By the way, to be clear, I know that your

190
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: last name doesn't start with a K. I was saying,

191
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: for if Dean Kramer's middle name Wasn't, I would be

192
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: I was wondering.

193
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: I didn't want to.

194
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: I realized you probably got confused by that after I

195
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: said it.

196
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: I know I didn't want to.

197
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: Again, I know how to spell mayor not with a K.

198
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: Well, not to get off on a whole name tangent,

199
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: but I will say I went to school with someone

200
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 2: whose first name was Tim, and his last name began

201
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: within M, and his middle name is ignatious, so his

202
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: initials were Tim.

203
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: His initials were Tim. That's pretty good. Yeah good.

204
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: I would be more interested back to Dean. I would

205
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: be more interested in Dean Kramer if I knew he

206
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 2: was going to be traded, and I looked up his

207
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: contract while you were talking. He has two more years

208
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: of arbitration. Is there any chance? From where you sit

209
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: to eat, would the Orioles move Dean Kramer?

210
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so. They value control controllable years so

211
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: much that I don't think they would, And they also

212
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: just have so much need at pitching that I don't

213
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: think they would want to get rid of him. I

214
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: could be wrong, but I wouldn't expect him to get moved. Okay.

215
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: If not, then this would have to be more of

216
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: a short, short term move for me. I don't have

217
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: a ton of interest in Dean Otherwise, I'm just going

218
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: to keep calling Dean forever now.

219
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: I support it, all right. Who's your favorite pitcher?

220
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: Mine is Michael Soroka. Mike Soroka, perhaps if we're on

221
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: a first name basis, who really you know, like if

222
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: you if you followed baseball for a while, He's at

223
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: a really interesting journey towards Achilles twice, came back as

224
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: a reliever, is now starting again and is now looking

225
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: pretty good all of a sudden, and he's he's a

226
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: name that could be moved at the trade deadline. Over

227
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: the last two weeks, he's a top fifteen starting pitcher,

228
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: and over the last month he's a top nineteen starting

229
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: pitcher according to VBR with a three point oh four

230
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: x CIRA. And so someone who's just like I wouldn't

231
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: count him, you know. In a previous segment we talked

232
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: about pitchers outside of the top twenty five who could

233
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: be in the top twenty five going forward. I don't

234
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: necessarily think he's that close of, you know, being in

235
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: the top twenty five, but I do think he's going

236
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: to have some fantasy value here soon, just because he's

237
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: been pitching well. He's been striking guys out. His ERA

238
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: is four to seven, but all his expected numbers are

239
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: much better than that. FIP is four to three x

240
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: fIF three seven six, Sierra three three five, and I

241
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: already said the XCRA is three point zero five with

242
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: a one point zero three whip. Just someone who's been

243
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 2: kind of quietly pitching really well recently, and someone that

244
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: has my eye, especially as someone he has a he's

245
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: a former first round pick from many, many moons ago.

246
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: I think it was like a decade ago, his first

247
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: round pick. Still only twenty seven, though, and so he's

248
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: someone who has a little bit of pedigree. He's dealble

249
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: some kind of freak injuries. He wasn't a big heist,

250
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: he wasn't a high strikeout pitcher. For a while he was.

251
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: He was a, you know, a week pitched to week

252
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: contact kind of pitcher. But now he's kind of reinvented

253
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: himself and it's very intriguing.

254
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: Deep league targets. I put one name down here at

255
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: Ramon Loreano, just because I keep giving these orioles pictures.

256
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to give an Oriels say

257
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: or too. He's just been hitting really well lately. This

258
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: is like just a hot streak that you know I

259
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: would pick up and try and ride. But he's been

260
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: honestly one of the Orioles best players the last few

261
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: weeks here. He's already got ten home runs, which is

262
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: one shive of his total of last year. He's batting

263
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: almost two eighty ops is eight sixty eight and he's

264
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: just looked pretty good. So and the eye test like

265
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: he's been passing it watching him every day. So I would, uh,

266
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: I would give a look to Ramon Laiano if you

267
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,479
Speaker 1: need help in like a deeper outfield.

268
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: League, more deeply targets, and some of them will probably

269
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: talk about a little bit as part of the pitching

270
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: streamers as well, because there's a couple there's a little

271
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: bit of overlap there. Noah Cameron has been pretty good recently.

272
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: We've talked about him recently. His a lot of these

273
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: players I looked up and I was like, you know,

274
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: maybe I won't include these players because they're pbably gonna

275
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: be roster in too many places, and they just weren't,

276
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: and so their roster numbers were so low that even

277
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: on even on a site like a sharper site like CBS,

278
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, I have to include these because

279
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: you know, in your standard like ten or twelve team

280
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: head to head, maybe maybe these aren't rostered guys, although

281
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: I think I think you can argue that they could be.

282
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 2: But in like twelve team roto and deeper, I think

283
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: I think these are must roster guys. Noah Cameron has

284
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: been really good. He's He's also lined up up for

285
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: two starts this week. You could say the same thing

286
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: for Brian Bao, he's been really good recently, is also

287
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: lined up for two starts this week. Both of those

288
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: I think, you know, even if you're just if you're

289
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: streaming pitchers in a deeper league or if you need

290
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: extra pitchering in a deeper league, I would I would't

291
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: take a look at both of those guys. And then

292
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: we already mentioned Joe Adell, but his roster numbers probably

293
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: because people are like you and like me, they've been

294
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: burned too many times by Joe Adell. Although I've never

295
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: been like that that interested, and so I haven't been

296
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 2: burned as many as much as others. But he's someone

297
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: who's hot right now, and there's a lot of value

298
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: in just like riding a hot hitter. And it's the

299
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: kind of thing where you ride him if he's hot

300
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: for a week or two, three weeks, you know, you

301
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: get three weeks out of him great, and if they

302
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: cool off, you just drop him and you move on

303
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: and you know you're not like married to these players. Yeah,

304
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: that's the list. That's what I got for you this week.

305
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: I love players that are very easy to drop. That's

306
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: often the hardest part of waivers is not who do

307
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: I want to pick up, it's who do I drop

308
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: to make room. So a player that I know, if

309
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: they're not playing well, I won't have any problem dropping.

310
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: Very appealing to me.

311
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Culton, Cal's a he's an other name. I know

312
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: you mentioned him. I think last week he's a deep

313
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: league target.

314
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: You can you Canfi's so I mentioned it. He's back

315
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: from all right, let's go to the streamers for next week.

316
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: You got some for every day. It looks like, well,

317
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: it looks like you have one day as always that

318
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: we don't like anybody, not Friday, surprisingly, but we'll get

319
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: to that day when we get to it. Who do

320
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: you got from Monday start us off?

321
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: Not Friday, surprisingly, surprisingly a false slight day too, you know,

322
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: usually Thursday or Friday or the day. So for Monday,

323
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: we just mentioned Noah Cameron, but Noah Cameron has a

324
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: Monday matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who their offense has

325
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: been a little better recently, but it seems like it's

326
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: cooling off again, so we don't have to be too

327
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: afraid of it. There's still a top five offense to

328
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: target in fantasy. And I'll mention this again at the

329
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: end of the week. But if you are in a

330
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: weekly league and you want to stream no Cameron, you do.

331
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: You are going to get two starts out of him,

332
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: or you're at least projected to get two starts out

333
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: of him for now, and the first start is against

334
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Pirates at home on Monday. I considered some

335
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: other names. I didn't want to anger the YouTube commenters

336
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: by mentioning Shane Boz, but he's an option here. He

337
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: is at Detroit though, and so as much as I

338
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: just don't understand how the Tigers are good, and I

339
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: think there's if they were in a different division, I

340
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: would predict kind of a second half falloff for the Tigers,

341
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: but I think they're probably in a division they can

342
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: hold on too, but still not an offense I want

343
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: to target right now, same thing. Land and Roupe against

344
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: the Phillies. I'm a little interested in Brady Singer against

345
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: the Marlins, but I'm much more interested in Noah Cameron.

346
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: Brady Singer I think has a lower floor and probably

347
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: a lower ceiling than Noah Cameron. Also, Jansen junk Is pitching.

348
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: Don't have a ton of interest in him, but very

349
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: fun pitcher name. Jansen junk so worth rostering for name

350
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: value alone if your team stinks. On Tuesday, Jose Siriano

351
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: against the Texas Rangers, another top five offensive target and fantasy.

352
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: He is the name that stuck out to me the most.

353
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: But also Eury Perez is surprisingly not rostered in a

354
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: lot of places. He's only his consensus roster percentage of

355
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: phantaspres is only eleven percent. That's way too low for

356
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: someone who has that kind of talent. He is at

357
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: the Reds, so not necessarily the lineup I want to target,

358
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: not the ballpark I want to target, But he's the

359
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: kind of picture you could pick up and stream and

360
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: keep for several weeks or maybe even keep for the

361
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: rest of the season. So he's as much as he's

362
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: a streamer, he's also a potential stats from stash for me.

363
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: So I would consider picking up Uriy Perez, especially you know,

364
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: like you're you know, be as I say, your on

365
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: it was fine, but he's nothing more than a streamer,

366
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: whereas eury Perez could potentially be very valuable for you

367
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: in the second half. On Wednesday, Eric Lauer been pitching

368
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: very well and he gets the White Sox, and so

369
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: that was the name that jumped out to me immediately.

370
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: There's a surprising amount of pictures that you can target

371
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, but that's the name that stuck out to

372
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: me the most, who's most likely to be available and

373
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: also has a good matchup. I also wrote down Lucas

374
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: Giolito against the Rockies. Lucas giolito experience has been a

375
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: little interesting this season, so it's kind of tough to

376
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: trust him, although he has been better, but I have

377
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: been burned by Lucas Giolido, so I'm not really racing

378
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: out to trust him. But if you do, if you

379
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: want the innings, Giolito there's a ton about the pictures.

380
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: There's Berlander, but he gets the Phillies. I'm staying away

381
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: from that. Kamar Rocker against the Angels. I'm still a

382
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: little nervous about Kamar Rocker. The same thing with Lance mccollors.

383
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 2: There's been some very good lancema colors and some very

384
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: bad Lance mccolors, and I'm not ready to get back

385
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: into bed with lancem colors. I do like Dustin May

386
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: against the Brewers as well, though we're on halfway. What

387
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: you have any comments on those before? I keep coming?

388
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: No? No, okay, correct, No, I don't have anything that

389
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: I really like disagree with you on, so I didn't

390
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: feel they need to add anything. But I think most

391
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: of your picks have been the correct ones for those

392
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: days so far.

393
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: I'm so glad I could appease you. Thursday. I just

394
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: mentioned him in the waivers section, but Mike's Soroka, so

395
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: if you're gonna pick him up for waivers, you might

396
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: as we pick him up and stream him as well. So,

397
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: Mike Soroka not the best matchup against the Cardinals in

398
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: Saint Louis, But not that it doesn't scare me. But yeah,

399
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: someone someone I really like someone's been pitching a lot better,

400
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 2: Mike Soroka. And again he's someone I think more than

401
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: just a streamer. He someone you can potentially hang on to.

402
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: Thursday is a small slate, so there weren't a ton

403
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: of names to pick from. I already made the Shane

404
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: Boz joke at the top, but on Thursday, there's Toge Bradley.

405
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: You know, if you consider those two pictures interchangeable, Taj

406
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: Bradley is the top ranked player on this Pitchure streaming tool,

407
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: but he is at Boston, and Boston doesn't have the

408
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: best lineup this year, and they strike out a ton,

409
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: but they also, as we've seen, you know, they just

410
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: did it to Jay Spurns. Their lineup is so unpredictable

411
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 2: that I don't necessarily love streaming against them because they

412
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: might just go out and score no runs and strike

413
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: out fourteen times, or they might drop fourteen runs on you,

414
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 2: and so I don't really want to target them, especially

415
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: in Boston. Nicolodola is probably over rostered, and he's probably

416
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: rostered in your league, but his consensus roster percent is

417
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 2: only fifty percent, and he's got some Marlin. So if

418
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: Nickeolodola is available. I would stream him, but he's probably

419
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 2: rostered in your league if it's a if it's a

420
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: at least medium, sharp and active league, he's probably already rostered.

421
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 2: So Soroco would be my top choice. Your boy Charlie

422
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: Morton is probably available, but he gets the Mets, so

423
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: not the best matchup, and I don't think I would

424
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: want to dig much deeper than that for Friday. Surprisingly,

425
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 2: Friday is usually a tough day for us, but there

426
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: was a bunch of options here. I know you don't

427
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: like Max Scherzer, but I think if Max Scherzer can

428
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: be healthy and stay on the mound, I think he

429
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: can be good. The problem is that we just he

430
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: just might never be healthy again. But I do think

431
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: there's a real possibility that he's valuable in the second

432
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 2: half if he can stay on the field, which is

433
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: not a given because he's had like a weird thumb

434
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: thing for a while now, and it just it's a

435
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 2: possibility at the end of the road and this is

436
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 2: like his last chance. But if he can stay on

437
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 2: the mound, I still think he can be good. So

438
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: he's the top streaming option on Friday. He's at the Athletics.

439
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: I would have been less inclined to stream against the

440
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 2: Athletics like three or four weeks ago, but they've just

441
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 2: not been great. Tyler Soderstrom has taking a step back.

442
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz has look good, Jacob Wilson looks great. But

443
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 2: what was once a very scary lineup is less scary now.

444
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: Although I do think they have the kind of talent

445
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 2: that they can just, you know, get hot. They have

446
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: Brett Rucker, Lawrence Butler. You know they can put a

447
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 2: hurting on you if they kind of all get right

448
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: at the same time. But for now, not terrified to

449
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 2: stream against them. Even though they're not they don't count

450
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: as the top five offensive stream against the other name

451
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: Gavin Williams against the White Sox. Gavin Williams was really

452
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: bad earlier in the air, but he's been much better

453
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: of late, and so he has a favorable matchup against

454
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: the White Sox on the road. It's on the road,

455
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 2: but it's also pretty favorable ballpark for pitchers. And then

456
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: Jase Burns against the Rockies.

457
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: Are you ready surprised to see I just thought of

458
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: how he can be. I think I feel like you

459
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: need to see another good start from him coming off

460
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: of what we just saw.

461
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. I also think he's going to

462
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: bounce back, and I also I.

463
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: Think he probably will bounce back. I don't disagree with that,

464
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: but to be streaming him, like I.

465
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 2: Here's the thing in this is not his next start,

466
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: so like by the time you have to stream him,

467
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: you will have seen one more start. So if he

468
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: gets lit up again, don't start him. But if he

469
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: looks fine, then stream him against the Rockies or you know,

470
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 2: just pick him up now. So yeah, it's kind of

471
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: hard to think about it because you're like, I think

472
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: you might pitch like he's pitching this weekend because he

473
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 2: was a two star pitcher, my two star pitcher for

474
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: the week unfortunately. But yeah, I've still confident he's gonna

475
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: turn things around. I really think he was like tipping

476
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: his pitches and the Red Stars has caught him and

477
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: then he's going to be fine. So that was for Friday,

478
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 2: and I think, did I have a few more names here?

479
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: Quinn Priester has been pitching, well, he gets the Nationals,

480
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: your boy Dean Kramer has the Marlins, so there's a

481
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: decent number. Usually Friday week you don't have anyone. There's

482
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: a decent number of pictures to stream. Also, this is

483
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: his name is toward the bottom of the list, But

484
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: Tyler Anderson just continues to be solid. He doesn't have

485
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: like incredible strikeout numbers, but he just continues to have

486
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: a really solid season and it's just not rostered anywhere.

487
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: So like in deep leagues, I just keep using him.

488
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: Saturday is the day this week that I have kind

489
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 2: of I marked it down as a stay away. I

490
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: wrote the opposite of a name. I wrote stay away

491
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: from Brandon Woodruff. It looks like it's going to be

492
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: his first start back off the injured list, not he's

493
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: had such a lengthy layoff and such a long rehab.

494
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: Even though he has a decent matchup against the Nationals.

495
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: There's no way I'm starting Brandon Woodruff in in his

496
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: first start off the album. We have no idea what

497
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 2: this is going to look like. He hasn't pitched in

498
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: the majors in so long, So I wrote Saturday is

499
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 2: a stay away question mark, but then also not Brandon

500
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: Woodruff period exclamation point. There was some thought that Sean

501
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 2: Mania could could be back on Saturday. It looks like

502
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: that probably is not the case anymore, but he's supposed

503
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 2: to make one more rehab start it sounds like on Tuesday,

504
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: so it's possible Sean Maya is back on Saturday as well,

505
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: but again i'd probably stay away from him, as you

506
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 2: know too. Even though starting pitchers in their first start

507
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: off the AL is always kind of tricky, but when

508
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: you have really lengthy layoffs like these two pictures have

509
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 2: had more so Brandon Woodroff than Sean Mayah, it's even

510
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: more concerning. And then Shane Boz not Tosh Badley, but

511
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: Shane Bozz has the Red Sox at Boston, again not

512
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: targeting that. And yeah, there's not a lot of other

513
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: names I would get too excited about. Trevor Rodgers against

514
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 2: the Marlins would would be my probably my pick if

515
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 2: I had to make a pick. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

516
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 2: And then Sunday Verty mention Hi a few times in

517
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: the show, but Uri Perez gets your Baltimore Orioles. And

518
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: the other name I have down is Noah Cameron gets

519
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: the New York Mets. And what I wrote down for

520
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: both of them is that if you know some a

521
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: lot of managers are in daily leagues, some are in

522
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 2: weekly leagues. If you're looking to stream in a weekly league,

523
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: you Reprise and Noah Cameron are both two star pitchers.

524
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: This week, I get worried about Cameron against the Mets. Yeah,

525
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: it's not ideal as a two start pitcher like I.

526
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: Obviously against the Pirates is a lot more appealing it is.

527
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: What do you think of the Orioles as a matchup

528
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: for streamers? Like? I feel like they should be scarier,

529
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: but they in practice often aren't.

530
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: That's kind of how I feel about them. I mean,

531
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: how many runs did they scored in that game the

532
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: other day? It was like twenty two or something.

533
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was like half their runs for the week.

534
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they do have that in them. I

535
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: mean the Red Sox are similar in that the lineup

536
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 2: is just not great until one day it is.

537
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, let's go to our two star picture competition.

538
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: So first of all, this current week that's going on,

539
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: I have Garrett Crochet, you have Chase Burns. Do we

540
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: want to just give me the win now? Or? I

541
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: mean that was as bad as start as you could

542
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: have gotten from Chase Burns to kick things off.

543
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, one out, so one out and give up six runs.

544
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: The last completed week. I actually think is the closest

545
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: matchup we have ever had in this competition really, and

546
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I borderline just want to give

547
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: it a tie. So you hit Brian Wu and I

548
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: had Ranger Suarez, you had three more Fantasy points in

549
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: our league settings, that is the exact difference of Suarez

550
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: got a loss and Wu didn't. But Suarez's loss came

551
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: in a game where he gave up one run in

552
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: seven to a third innings, and it was just like

553
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: his the Phillies scored zero runs. So it hardly seems

554
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: fair to like if that's the difference in the matchup

555
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: when he really shouldn't have gotten a loss to give

556
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: him the loss. If you look at not the win

557
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: loss record, but just the actual like stat line, Suarez

558
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: had fourteen to two thirds innings, eight hits, two earned runs,

559
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: three walks, fifteen strikeouts. Wu had twelve innings, eleven hits,

560
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: two earned runs, three walks, eighteen strikeouts. So Wu had

561
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: three more strikeouts, but Suarez had the same runs allowed

562
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: in three more innings, almost three more innings, and also

563
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: a better whip. He had a couple of fewer hits,

564
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: so it's basically like the better era and Whip versus

565
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: a few more strikeouts otherwise like essentially the same. Truthfully,

566
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: I almost just want to give us a tie, like

567
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: I think this is like a dead even.

568
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: I'm willing to give it a tie just because it's

569
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 2: Ranger Suarez.

570
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: And then I knew. I knew you were gonna give

571
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: the extra buves to Suarez.

572
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we have I'm not in the business of

573
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: giving Ranger Suarez losses on this show.

574
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm going to officially lock it in as our

575
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: first ever tie in the two start pitcher competition, so

576
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: it is now five to four to one you, but

577
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm likely to win this week, so it's likely to

578
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: be five and five with one tie going into this

579
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: upcoming week. Remember, even though we are eleven completed weeks in,

580
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: we skipped two weeks ago because both pictures that we

581
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: picked only ended up starting one game each, so we

582
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: did not count that week. So that's why we are

583
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: kind of a week behind here if you're doing that math,

584
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: which I'm not sure if anybody was. For this upcoming week,

585
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: I decided it was finally time to pull the trigger

586
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: and use Paul Skeens. I had not used him yet

587
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: this season and just felt like it was time. Also,

588
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: the matchups at Kansas City at Minnesota I was comfortable with.

589
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: He's had a couple of downstarts in a row, so

590
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like he might just be due.

591
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, now felt like the right time to use Skeens.

592
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: Great. I did not put a name in the sheet beforehand,

593
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: but I'm going to go with Hunter Brown, who is

594
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: just maybe a si on favorite or young candidate, and

595
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 2: maybe he's not the favorite in the American League because

596
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 2: if you know TWEK school will exists, but having about

597
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: as good of a season as you can have. He's

598
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: got a one point a two e r A and

599
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: his matchups are against the Guardians and against the Rangers,

600
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: both at home, and.

601
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: So I would have picked Hunter Brown, but I used

602
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: him back in week three, so he was not available.

603
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: I just said, but I just had to make sure

604
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: that I didn't And I searched for Hunter in the

605
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: in the sheet and was like, oh darn, I already

606
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: re used him, But then I realized it.

607
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: Was Hunter Green, So yeah, I've used Hunter Brown already.

608
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: Otherwise I think that was a very good So great matchup. Honestly,

609
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: Skians versus Brown. Who is he facing again? I'm ready

610
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: in this in the U.

611
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: He gets He's verse the Guardians and then verse the Rangers.

612
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so hunder Brown versus Paul Skans. That's

613
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: a fun one. Like I said, I'm likely to win

614
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: this week, which will put us at assume me dead

615
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: even going into the final week before the All Start breaks.

616
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: So super fun stuff. Any other final thoughts before we

617
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: get out of here.

618
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really need garat Crochet to get lit up,

619
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: or maybe like three rainouts and they just don't start

620
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: him this weekend.

621
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: I think with as bad as Chase Burns was even

622
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: a one start, Crochet still gets the win over him. Rybe,

623
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking, I was wondering for our picks because

624
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: this is the last week before the All Star break, right,

625
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that math wrong boo.

626
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: I think the following week is the All Star break.

627
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes, So the reason I bring that up is

628
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: because I wonder if some of these really good pictures

629
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: if they wind up finagling the schedule at all so

630
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: they can pitch in the All Star Game. We both

631
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: picked very good pictures, so we'll see how that pans out,

632
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: but somebody keep an eye on for this week. For

633
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: now we have Schemes and Hunter Brown as our picks.

634
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: So yea, let's go ahead and get out of here

635
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: on that. I hope everybody enjoys Fourth of July. If
