Speaker 1: Leading off on Fantasy Pro starts. Right now, I am
Speaker 1: Chris Welsh. That over there, that is Kelly Kirby the
Speaker 1: Wonky Penguin, and we are ready to talk about some
Speaker 1: baseball on the tenth of August. Anything but the Saint
Speaker 1: Louis Cardinals we're gonna talk about. And maybe you just
Speaker 1: didn't hear a tiny bit. Oh, there's lots of stuff.
Speaker 1: There's call ups, there's some bets, and there's more. Kelly,
Speaker 1: I know you're a Cubs fan, so there was a
Speaker 1: little bit of a a little bit of happiness out
Speaker 1: of Miles michael Is getting absolutely destroyed. Did I even
Speaker 1: I didn't mention him yesterday? Right, I didn't talk about
Speaker 1: him at all.
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm sure you didn't know.
Speaker 1: Why would you have?
Speaker 2: You would have never suggested him would.
Speaker 1: Be so silly to be like, hey, Miles Michaelis, I
Speaker 1: really kind of like this. Maybe in DFS, who would
Speaker 1: be so silly?
Speaker 3: Kelly?
Speaker 2: Not me, I don't know.
Speaker 3: And that Cardinals stack did some phenomenal things for me
Speaker 3: last night too.
Speaker 2: It was it was pretty great.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know, it's funny. They were like
Speaker 1: a five run implied. They did get five runs a
Speaker 1: problem when they gave.
Speaker 2: Up sixty runs. So they did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had the right game, We had the right
Speaker 1: game where the stack was. It just didn't end up
Speaker 1: working out. Lots to get to and lots of fun,
Speaker 1: but maybe nothing more exciting if you were up late
Speaker 1: and you were watching a walk off homer from the
Speaker 1: San Diego Padres have been a little bit, if you will,
Speaker 1: wonkey lately in all of their big moves. Manny Machado
Speaker 1: walked it off in huge fashion. By the way, I
Speaker 1: don't remember who sent it. I wish I could find
Speaker 1: the tweet now we'll retweet if I can. But the
Speaker 1: Japanese coverage of that entire thing, it's electric. It's incredible.
Speaker 1: The call really just like anytime you can get out
Speaker 1: of like States coverage, like English coverage, it's amazing and electric.
Speaker 1: Even you know, the sport itself is amazing Yo to
Speaker 1: Puerto Ico and stuff like that. But the call is incredible.
Speaker 1: On the many machad walk off. Also Juan Soto first
Speaker 1: home run as the San Diego Padre if you want
Speaker 1: some stats on it, one oh seven to nine EV
Speaker 1: and Juan Soto getting into action in Padres. Kelly starting
Speaker 1: to find a little bit of rhythm with everybody as
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis Junior is getting close. And we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that in just a second.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 3: I wrote like a Waiver Wire article last week and
Speaker 3: I mentioned like Jorge Alfaro because I was like, he
Speaker 3: might be the only piece left on waivers to grab
Speaker 3: from that lineup, but they are eventually going to hit
Speaker 3: like crazy, and I think, and if he's in the bottom,
Speaker 3: he's going to kind of like lead off for that group.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, hey, if he takes a walk, they'll
Speaker 3: get him in.
Speaker 1: So I actually been a savior for me in a
Speaker 1: couple of different leagues. I think it's taut and one
Speaker 1: of I don't remember whatever the league it was. It's
Speaker 1: a two catcher league. Oh it was TGFBI. Alfara was
Speaker 1: just one of those guys I ended up like, well,
Speaker 1: let's you know, move around, let's move through catchers, let's
Speaker 1: burn and churn. Then he's been a guy to kind
Speaker 1: of hold the whole way through, maybe a lot more
Speaker 1: contact than he really ever did. Is a people forget.
Speaker 1: He was actually a Phillies prospect at one time they
Speaker 1: went to the Marlins. Power was always there, but all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's just starting to hit for a
Speaker 1: lot more contact and this is going to just make
Speaker 1: him exponentially more valuable with that insane lineup that's already there,
Speaker 1: and even a little bit more injection that's coming.
Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely, so he's out there.
Speaker 1: Gravin please do. Fernando Tatis Junior had a third rehab
Speaker 1: start and it's going well. He went two for two
Speaker 1: with two walks. In that third one. He's at double a.
Speaker 1: San Antonio hit a double into left field and he
Speaker 1: was a leadoff man and then at the time that
Speaker 1: was on the top of the first inning. Then I
Speaker 1: believe he tripled in right. He was set to play
Speaker 1: outfield and this was a part of a Rotal World
Speaker 1: blurb if everyone wants to check it out. He was
Speaker 1: set to play in the outfield, which is very interesting
Speaker 1: to monitor. But then he got moved to shortstop as
Speaker 1: there was rain and they only played six innings, so
Speaker 1: and he played six innings there. So what's going on
Speaker 1: with Tatisa is you got three games in you're moving
Speaker 1: across both positions, which might be an indicator. I think
Speaker 1: of the flexibility, cause there's no reason to put Tatis
Speaker 1: out in the outfield. If they were only going to
Speaker 1: play him short stop, you just dhm, you don't even
Speaker 1: worry about it if you're not going to play him there.
Speaker 1: So I think it's going to start to show that
Speaker 1: they might move him around with that flexibility, which could
Speaker 1: be good for Kim or look at it as like
Speaker 1: Druy cronin Worth. But three games in starting to find
Speaker 1: his rhythm, he walked twice if I didn't say that
Speaker 1: with a couple of those hits showing off a triple.
Speaker 1: Tatus is right around the corner, Kelly, and this is
Speaker 1: going to be a huge, huge boost for Like I
Speaker 1: have a keeper league where I'm holding. I'm like fourth,
Speaker 1: I've suffered a lot of injuries, but I'm about to
Speaker 1: get that injection of Tatis back into my lineup, which
Speaker 1: is going to be huge, and a lot of us
Speaker 1: in category based stuff are going to get that for
Speaker 1: playoff runs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's kind I'm kind of looking at him.
Speaker 3: He's the positional de gram right like you wanted him
Speaker 3: to be a cornerstone. He's not a cornerstone, but now
Speaker 3: here he comes at like the most perfect time. So yeah,
Speaker 3: he's going to be fun to watch. But I do
Speaker 3: expect Kim to stay in defense because of his defensive rating,
Speaker 3: so like I would expect, not full time, but I
Speaker 3: think that it'll be more like I see him more
Speaker 3: dhing just so they can kind of keep that especially
Speaker 3: depend on which pitcher is pitching.
Speaker 1: I think something you could see as well. A lot
Speaker 1: of teams will implement this where you we might see
Speaker 1: Tatis in for the first five or six innings at shortstop,
Speaker 1: and then if you're gonna have a defensive replacement, they'll
Speaker 1: then move Tatis maybe out into the outfield. They can
Speaker 1: move him out in the outfield. They've just created so
Speaker 1: much flexibility that Kim is still going to get some run.
Speaker 1: But like you said, you know, it might be more
Speaker 1: defensive replacement than it is starting games. Here's a question
Speaker 1: rest the season, who would you rather have? I know
Speaker 1: this is two completely different positions, but Tatis or to Grom,
Speaker 1: who would you rather like? You know, these are big
Speaker 1: swing plays if you're going for a fantasy run. I've
Speaker 1: seen we talked about Actually a lot of people want
Speaker 1: to trade off to Grom right now, even in redraft,
Speaker 1: which is fine. You could look at the same way
Speaker 1: with Tatis Junior, which one, would you rather go into
Speaker 1: these last six weeks in a playoff run with Obviously
Speaker 1: need is going to play into it, but you know, in.
Speaker 3: A vacuum, in a vacuum like I mean, I pitching
Speaker 3: is my thing. I love pitching. I usually draft way
Speaker 3: too much of it. But I would rather have Tatis
Speaker 3: just give me the every day versus the every five
Speaker 3: or six day.
Speaker 1: It is going to be interesting to watch this whole thing.
Speaker 1: Baseball to me so much better, by the way, in
Speaker 1: like a week when the Gram and Tatis are just back. No,
Speaker 1: I'd be nice if, like you know, Bryce Harper was
Speaker 1: back as well. We did get a little bit of
Speaker 1: news on him that when he returns, whenever the hell
Speaker 1: that is, he will solely DH. He's going to just DH,
Speaker 1: not play in the outfield. But there's really no timetable.
Speaker 1: It was already set to September, so I'm not really
Speaker 1: sure it's going to help anybody for a real baseball
Speaker 1: probably more playoffs. Shoh Otani Feast joins Babe Ruth as
Speaker 1: the only two players to ever hit ten homers and
Speaker 1: have ten wins in the same season. There is some
Speaker 1: statue put up here pass each e row on all
Speaker 1: time lists for homers by Japanese born players and set
Speaker 1: the single season career high in strikeouts at one fifty
Speaker 1: seven and it is August tenth.
Speaker 2: Kelly, Yes, yeah, I don't do you how many do
Speaker 2: you think he gets to?
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get to. You know what, I've
Speaker 1: always thought two hundred was in reach, and that's part
Speaker 1: of the Are you talking about strikeouts right?
Speaker 3: Not?
Speaker 2: Yes? Sorry?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've always kind of thought that two hundred
Speaker 1: marker was going to be in there, and boy, if
Speaker 1: he hits two hundred, how do you keep him off
Speaker 1: of that MVP. We don't need to like do it
Speaker 1: every single show.
Speaker 3: Like we do.
Speaker 1: I'm looking here as we're talking the projections he's at once,
Speaker 1: so check us out. One fifty seven is where he's at.
Speaker 1: If we go and look at whatever projection you want,
Speaker 1: I'll go in the middle. The bat has the second
Speaker 1: lowest projection between Zip steamers, and it's at sixty three.
Speaker 1: So that is one hundred and twenty strike or two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty strikeouts he would finish the year on.
Speaker 1: And he's also gonna probably easily eclip eclipse the thirty
Speaker 1: home run marker he's he's bonkers. He's doing bonkers stuff
Speaker 1: Kelly Well.
Speaker 3: And like Gokards just in the chat. I mean he
Speaker 3: also has ten steals, which.
Speaker 2: Did bapers ever steal bases?
Speaker 3: But yeah, so he's just he's just the all around.
Speaker 3: I would still not to talk about the MVP race,
Speaker 3: but I don't. I just don't know how you keep him.
Speaker 2: Out of it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like it. It's the this is that whole, like, hey,
Speaker 1: not to talk about it, but we're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 1: We'll consistently talk about it and keep going it. Just
Speaker 1: what's he's so intriguing because when he's not like pitching
Speaker 1: or not doing insane things, everyone's just kind of like
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, Aaron Judge. But as soon as Otani does something,
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, yeah, there we go. I forgot Otani
Speaker 1: is incredible. And talk about baby Ruth too. We got
Speaker 1: a trivia question that is going to be tied to
Speaker 1: bab Ruth here in just a tiny bit, so we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. Josh Hater melt down. This is something
Speaker 1: I forgot to put in. I should have kept that
Speaker 1: with the Padres melt down in the ninth inning walk
Speaker 1: three batters hit another, allowing three runs to score the
Speaker 1: tyg the tie in the game, and then Machado ended
Speaker 1: up doing his business, so a little bit dicey and
Speaker 1: Seattle they win one oho and thirteen innings over New
Speaker 1: York with just an insane pitching performance from Garrett Cole
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo. This is part two of those Luis Castillo
Speaker 1: made his debut doing that and we did hit the
Speaker 1: k prop on Garrett Cole. Luis Castillo is absolutely this
Speaker 1: is living up to everything that Joe and I had
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time talking about. You know, this
Speaker 1: was like my every time Joe would be like, you know,
Speaker 1: who do you think? And I would be like, Mariners, Mariners,
Speaker 1: mar and his Mariners got to get Louis Castillo, and
Speaker 1: it's working out swimmingly, and he looks like one of
Speaker 1: the biggest beneficiaries of anybody into this new destination. Luis
Speaker 1: Castillo looks phenomenal going head to head with Garrett Cole.
Speaker 3: Kelly, Yes he does, and he's kind of like you
Speaker 3: know how it's always I wonder what the Graham's numbers
Speaker 3: would be if he picked up wins.
Speaker 2: I was always wondering what.
Speaker 3: Castillo could do if he's got out of that ballpark
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati, and so now he's in a place where
Speaker 3: he's kind of got more freedom or to do what
Speaker 3: he does, throw his pitches and not have to worry about,
Speaker 3: you know, a pop up leaving the arts so well in.
Speaker 1: That first performance too, I mean the thoughts of like
Speaker 1: you know, they designated as like a sinker, you know,
Speaker 1: hitting ninety eight. You know that coming up ninety eight
Speaker 1: in the zone that was always this thing. If you
Speaker 1: can get that change up and you can get that
Speaker 1: sinker going, I mean, he can do incredible things and
Speaker 1: he's efficiently finding it. Like I think his dynasty value
Speaker 1: because we had Tydler, Maley, Luis Castillo, and Frankie Montels
Speaker 1: all traded and Mally's value is going to move a
Speaker 1: little bit up, but like Luis Castillo's might be one
Speaker 1: of the most impactful. I feel like we're going to
Speaker 1: get back to like what is it three years ago
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo value talk when we're in drafts where everyone's
Speaker 1: gonna be like, Okay, I want the elite guy. I
Speaker 1: want to get one of my elite guys. I want
Speaker 1: McClanahan or Burns. If I can get that, but then
Speaker 1: everyone's going to be targeting Luis Castillo because of the destination,
Speaker 1: the run support, I mean, everything is working his favor.
Speaker 1: I really think he's going to be one of those
Speaker 1: big dynasty movers. Do you do a lot of I
Speaker 1: don't remember. Do you do a lot of dynasty baseball
Speaker 1: or mainly redraft?
Speaker 2: Not too much.
Speaker 3: I mean I do a lot of keepers, but not
Speaker 3: like you know, forty person roster four or five keepers.
Speaker 2: Yeah we're this year it's ten for one of them.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we.
Speaker 1: Need to we need to get maybe a Fantasy pros
Speaker 1: dynasty league going with some of the some of the
Speaker 1: cast and crew that come on here. It'll be great
Speaker 1: when August hits if we get Joe in it, because
Speaker 1: then Joe will just be focused on football and we'll
Speaker 1: just laugh as his team just falls down the rankings.
Speaker 1: We'll have a merry time. We'll just be laughing and
Speaker 1: just pointing at Joe and it'll be it'll be great.
Speaker 2: So let's let's do that anytime we can laugh and
Speaker 2: put it Joe we're in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did a podcast. I hadn't seen Joe by
Speaker 1: the way in like, you know, like two weeks or
Speaker 1: three weeks. Then you know, we had essentially been seeing
Speaker 1: each other every single day for six months, and I
Speaker 1: saw him yesterday for the first time, and you guys
Speaker 1: got to see it. If you're not watching the football
Speaker 1: pot he did a football podcast with us on in
Speaker 1: this league. Purple Lights now looks like a YouTube streamer.
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for him to jump into a bathtub or
Speaker 1: something and just start to like, he's doing weird stuff
Speaker 1: over there, and it'll be exciting when we get him back.
Speaker 1: We actually have him back, I think the very last
Speaker 1: episode of the season. But let's stop talking about joe.
Speaker 1: On the injury front, Joey Bart having an MRI in
Speaker 1: his right ankle today, so look out for that. Nelson
Speaker 1: Cruz left the game due to right shoulder soreness or
Speaker 1: probably just playing with a bad team. Orlando Arcia is
Speaker 1: heading to the io with a left hamstring strain, and
Speaker 1: Taylor Rogers got a quartzone injection into his knee. Speaking
Speaker 1: of Orlando Arcia, that is enabling us to have call
Speaker 1: up time, so calling up the prospects. Just before the show,
Speaker 1: the Braves selected the contract of Von Grisham, who is
Speaker 1: having a phenomenal year and they are not afraid to
Speaker 1: be aggressive. Now here's the thing you gotta be careful about.
Speaker 1: You're gonna immediately have the Michael Harris comp because Michael
Speaker 1: Harris jumped from Double A up to the majors and
Speaker 1: has been, you know, maybe the biggest single riser from
Speaker 1: a dynasty or redraft perspective. Von Grisham is also making
Speaker 1: a double A jump and he's put up really great
Speaker 1: numbers and it's a similar ish profile, So just bear
Speaker 1: with yourself. Fourteen homers, twenty seven stolen bases on the
Speaker 1: season so far, a three to twenty four average, a
Speaker 1: four to ZHO five OBP, which you absolutely love to see.
Speaker 1: Its power, its speed. Guy's always made really good contact.
Speaker 1: He's not a crazy strikeout option. And he's also young
Speaker 1: twenty one years old. Now, Miguel Vargas killed me with
Speaker 1: all the I'm like mcgal Vargus is like an elite prize.
Speaker 1: He really is. And then the Dodger's like, that's cool, siya,
Speaker 1: We're gonna send him down for Max Munsey and Cody
Speaker 1: Bellinger and Joey Gallo. We don't need this. Even though
Speaker 1: he can do everything. Grishiam is kind of in this
Speaker 1: same space where this is a great spot. He is
Speaker 1: the exact type of fantasy that you want, you want
Speaker 1: to be aggressive on. The problem is, as soon as
Speaker 1: OURCIA comes back, I think they're sending him down Kelly,
Speaker 1: because I really see this continued manipulation of next year's
Speaker 1: roster stuff going on, where teams don't want to exacerbate
Speaker 1: the prospect eligibility. They don't want to lose that, they
Speaker 1: want to keep that going. So this would be a
Speaker 1: even though this is one of the top type of
Speaker 1: guys that you want to go and spend non fab
Speaker 1: because of what he can do from a fantasy game,
Speaker 1: I assume and let me know what you think that
Speaker 1: he's going to be limited to probably a two week
Speaker 1: stent regardless of what he does with this Braves team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that they have I don't think
Speaker 3: they necessarily have room for him with the idea that
Speaker 3: if they keep him up, how much is he going
Speaker 3: to play how you know, how much is he gonna
Speaker 3: like start get it bets and then the manipulation of
Speaker 3: the service time, you know, because when they come up,
Speaker 3: unless he just absolutely tears it up, in which case
Speaker 3: then maybe because I don't see RCA necessarily doing that
Speaker 3: when he gets back.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think they'll keep him down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's tough because like someone could be like, well,
Speaker 1: what if he's awesome. Miguelt Vargas was awesome, He's hitting
Speaker 1: over three hundred, stealing bases, making hits. He could do
Speaker 1: all this stuff and they still said siya. So Von
Speaker 1: Grisham is the same way here. Maybe you can get
Speaker 1: an injection for the next two weeks. There's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with going and getting some stolen bases, maybe a little
Speaker 1: homer power if you've got some you know, empty roster space.
Speaker 1: Same thing I would have said with bubbatime. And even
Speaker 1: though he's striking out like crazy, now he's a stolen
Speaker 1: base guy. Grisham is much better option. I've been asked
Speaker 1: a lot lately, like who are the prospects you'd want?
Speaker 1: No one really, There's no one really i'd want. If
Speaker 1: i'm speculating, I'm speculating on Corbyn Carrol, but I'm doing
Speaker 1: it for the back end of the year so the
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks can play him in September if they want not
Speaker 1: lose the eligibility. Grisham I didn't even put on the
Speaker 1: table because a guy's in Double A. But this is
Speaker 1: an opportunity for two weeks. But just be prepared that
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be relatively short lived. This
Speaker 1: day in baseball nineteen ninety five Ball Night at Dodger
Speaker 1: Stadium turned into the first forfeit in the majors in
Speaker 1: sixteen years. Los Angeles forfeited a game two the Saint
Speaker 1: Louis Cardinals after fans threw souvenir baseballs onto the field
Speaker 1: three times. The game was called with one out in
Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth. I wish I remembered this.
Speaker 1: I wish I remembered this. I don't at all. That's
Speaker 1: an incredible stet.
Speaker 3: You put that together, Kelly, Yeah, Well, what I wanted
Speaker 3: to write on there is and this is why we
Speaker 3: can't have the tops of our water bottles anymore, like
Speaker 3: because they figured out, well, projectiles, you know, probably aren't
Speaker 3: a great idea.
Speaker 1: So that people throw caps and stuff. What is this, Philly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, At some at some point one year, and I
Speaker 3: really think it was around this time, they started like
Speaker 3: they take the tops off the water bottles and then
Speaker 3: keep them so that you can't throw them onto the field.
Speaker 2: And at one point they did that.
Speaker 3: I think the first time they did that to me,
Speaker 3: I was in like the three hundred section of the
Speaker 3: like the Metrodome.
Speaker 2: It's like, I can't get it to the field. I
Speaker 2: promised that I.
Speaker 1: Could throw it across the stadium. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: But I think the ball thing just blew it up.
Speaker 1: So probably not probably safe to say they've never done
Speaker 1: a souvenir ball night since.
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, hey, one thing ruins it
Speaker 1: for all. You know one time, you know it's gonna
Speaker 1: be like Philly, They're gonna throw all the bobble heads
Speaker 1: on and then bobble heads are going to be very
Speaker 1: dicey for the future, So look out for that. All right.
Speaker 1: Here's a trivia question. And I didn't put it on
Speaker 1: here because I want Kelly to guess and everybody else
Speaker 1: is going to be kind of a two parter depending
Speaker 1: where you go. Here's a question. We talked about Babe Ruth.
Speaker 1: We talked about sho Hey Otani and all of the changes.
Speaker 1: Which total is higher Babe Ruth's career. Homers or innings pitched?
Speaker 1: Don't google Nobody google homers or innings pitch famously. You
Speaker 1: know the pitching. I always thought the pitching was a
Speaker 1: little bit overblown with Babe Ruth, but he was a
Speaker 1: two way player. Let's not get it wrong, Kelly. Do
Speaker 1: you know this stat? Do you know this number which
Speaker 1: was higher the home runs? Because we know the homer
Speaker 1: total is over seven hundred, that's the one that everyone
Speaker 1: should have, So homers or innings pitched.
Speaker 3: It's funny because I would have said homer's right off
Speaker 3: the bat, but the fact that you're asking the question
Speaker 3: makes me want to go with innings.
Speaker 1: It is innings pitched. Now here's the thing. Can you
Speaker 1: guess the I'll give you relative range I'm going to
Speaker 1: give you. Do you know the homer total? I got
Speaker 1: to be ancewd with you. If you would have asked me,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't like have it immediately it is you nailed it.
Speaker 1: I probably would have been within on the inning, so
Speaker 1: we know it's higher. I'll give you with within fifty innings.
Speaker 1: If anyone can guess, that's not cooking even in the chat,
Speaker 1: or if you want to give it a shot and
Speaker 1: you don't get it, I'll be looking for the chat.
Speaker 1: So you know it's over seven hundred. He had seven
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen homers. This kind of blows my mind because,
Speaker 1: like you said, I would not I would have probably guessed.
Speaker 1: I think five hundred innings is what my guess would
Speaker 1: have been. So now you know it's over seven hundred,
Speaker 1: what's a give me a.
Speaker 2: Little guessie, guess I would go with eight seventy.
Speaker 1: There's some interesting ones in here. Brian had eight fifty,
Speaker 1: Gym's had nine to twelve, Riza Giza had nine twenty
Speaker 1: two JP. You are all wrong, you are all incorrect.
Speaker 1: Keep going, keep going higher. It is you guys are
Speaker 1: I mean literally one dollar above is going to keep
Speaker 1: you going. We are higher than this number. Let's see
Speaker 1: if any more guesses come in, you want to give
Speaker 1: it one more shot?
Speaker 3: No, I just it just occurred to me though they
Speaker 3: threw like, you know, didn't want Pitcher throw fourteen innings
Speaker 3: at a time back then. So yeah, well when you die,
Speaker 3: he's probably overshot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like fifty.
Speaker 1: Miles an hour. You can do it. Well. Brian is
Speaker 1: within twenty one innings because he threw one thy two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one and one third innings, which is
Speaker 1: kind of wild. So it also brought me to this
Speaker 1: whole other thing. If you had to guess, what do
Speaker 1: you think will end up being more Shoho Tani innings
Speaker 1: pitched or Shoheo Tani homers when all of a sudden done.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to guess that Shoho Tani is
Speaker 1: going to like continue continue rocking with the with the
Speaker 1: innings throughout his career. But if he keeps stacking, if
Speaker 1: he stacks like three or four good seasons, it's going
Speaker 1: to be impossible that you could ask that question. I
Speaker 1: thought that one was a little bit fun more definitely
Speaker 1: more like trivia of who'd you rather? Or you know,
Speaker 1: you get both the answers than some of the ones
Speaker 1: we usually do. Stat heroes. Luis Castillo, we talked about
Speaker 1: eight striking out seven, Mah, Garrett Cole, we hit that
Speaker 1: prop eight strikeouts in seven as well. Shane Bieber continues
Speaker 1: to defy the velocity odds going. So I been striking
Speaker 1: out eight, Leo Urias had eight, and Brady Singer six
Speaker 1: strikeouts seven to one third. What do you make of
Speaker 1: Brady's singer? He has been so dicey. Our friend Nick
Speaker 1: Pollock was on the show, has been uh questionable with him.
Speaker 1: I think it's sometimes hard to believe the success. How
Speaker 1: much are you buying into these great, great starts that
Speaker 1: Brady Singer has been stacking together.
Speaker 3: That's a dangerous question I have. I've told everyone I
Speaker 3: have a weird sort of love affair with Brady Singer
Speaker 3: right now. I literally went out and got him in
Speaker 3: I think everything but one League, so apparently I'm buying in.
Speaker 3: Then he went and blew up last week against the
Speaker 3: White Sox, and I was like, well, I'm an idiot.
Speaker 3: But then yesterday I was like, and we're back, so yeah,
Speaker 3: he's going to be that guy.
Speaker 2: But I like his age.
Speaker 3: I like the weird I was gonna say, like kind
Speaker 3: of consistency in what I see from him mechanically, but
Speaker 3: you know, the outcome, his ability to keep going deep
Speaker 3: in and means I think makes Brady Singer at least interesting.
Speaker 1: So ironically, I don't have any can firmed information on this,
Speaker 1: but I think from some of the stuff I saw
Speaker 1: in spring training, like physically in person, I think Grank
Speaker 1: He's actually been a good rubof for him. They spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time together. One of the days I
Speaker 1: didn't go to Royals Camp, a whole bunch because the
Speaker 1: access is really tough. But I did go one day
Speaker 1: and Grienking and Singer were just together. They were hanging,
Speaker 1: they were talking with another coach, they were together. They
Speaker 1: moved over here, they were together, and I kind of wonder,
Speaker 1: you know, having that tutelage was something maybe that he
Speaker 1: needed to take that next step. Do you believe Singer
Speaker 1: is a must own beyond streaming for the rest of
Speaker 1: the way through? Obviously, if he gets lit up for
Speaker 1: three starts, anybody can be cut. But do you qualify
Speaker 1: him as like top notch streamer or top notch pickup?
Speaker 3: I would say, again, depending on depth, I would probably
Speaker 3: still listen him as a streamer for most leagues most people,
Speaker 3: but I if you picked him up, I would like
Speaker 3: high five you in a top notch type of way.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I know I don't mean a bafful on
Speaker 3: the question, but I okay, I'll just commit yep, top
Speaker 3: notch have him.
Speaker 2: The problem is the innings.
Speaker 3: If they cap him or some or anything in that
Speaker 3: line could make it a little bit harder. But I'm
Speaker 3: I'm I'm a singer person.
Speaker 1: And then we do high ye high.
Speaker 2: Let's do it all right?
Speaker 1: Forgot it on the hitting front. Randal Gritchik five for
Speaker 1: five with a homer. All the Rockies are amazing for
Speaker 1: sixteen runs, ridiculous. Keeber Reiz had two bombs. Four RBIs
Speaker 1: Austin Riley shout out to Bubba for the home run
Speaker 1: called five RBI, big performance. Boba Schett had two. Michael
Speaker 1: Chavis had to c J Crohn again, you had two
Speaker 1: Rockies players putting up just big stats. Cron needed this one.
Speaker 1: Prado had a homer. One. So do we talk about
Speaker 1: Brendan Rodgers four for five? Good lord, show Hail Tani
Speaker 1: with a homer. Your stat, Zeros, this is the Miles
Speaker 1: Michaels stats. Fourteen hits, ten earned runs and maybe the
Speaker 1: most amazing stat you tell me the most amazing stat
Speaker 1: And this is not the fourteen hits given up, is
Speaker 1: not the ten earn runs. It is that he almost
Speaker 1: went three innings. He went two and two thirds with
Speaker 1: those How do you even let him go that far?
Speaker 1: That is more incredible to me than the absolute garbage
Speaker 1: that he put up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you and I talked shortly before the show
Speaker 3: about how terrible it is is a fantasy player when
Speaker 3: you know your guy got rocked right and gives up
Speaker 3: however many runs in the first inning and you're like, okay,
Speaker 3: well that at least still pull him. And then for him,
Speaker 3: I was like, are they gonna let him go? Are
Speaker 3: they gonna let him try to get three? And I
Speaker 3: don't know what their bullpen situation is, but oh go.
Speaker 1: To There's always these like handful of these each season
Speaker 1: where there's a team that's just like, screw it, we're
Speaker 1: gonna let this guy go out here, we need him
Speaker 1: to go a little bit further, and you get these
Speaker 1: monster blow ups. I want to see. I don't want
Speaker 1: to do the research, but I want someone to spoon
Speaker 1: feed it to me. I want to see like the
Speaker 1: five worst pitching performances in a season over the last
Speaker 1: couple of years. And I would love to see what
Speaker 1: two thousand and what is it in the nineteen season?
Speaker 1: Would cut? Or was it twenty season? That one's a
Speaker 1: little dicey, but I'd love to see like full season
Speaker 1: top five biggest blow ups, like how far did those
Speaker 1: guys go, how many hits, how many earned runs, how
Speaker 1: many homers, just to like analyze that, because this has
Speaker 1: got to be one of the worst. It's a little
Speaker 1: bit of recency, but it's got to be one of
Speaker 1: the worst, and it was. Of course we talked about it.
Speaker 1: Yay Martin Perez seven earned runs, not good himself with
Speaker 1: three walks, Hosier Keatie got five, Joe Ryan getting lit
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and Duayne Underwood only went one,
Speaker 1: giving up four earned runs on the hitters OH for
Speaker 1: seven from Lori Garcia and the double header had three strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Johannio Suarez, who is not the number five overall player
Speaker 1: anymore on Yahoo over Jose Ramirez and points oh for
Speaker 1: five with three strikeouts. Hunter Renfro had three, Polanco had
Speaker 1: three strikeouts, and Hovey Bayaz did a Hobby Bayas that
Speaker 1: means oh for four with three strikeouts. Wonky. It is
Speaker 1: time that we look at the home run leader board
Speaker 1: and my god, gentlemen, it is getting ladies, and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: it is getting a little bit stinky here because high
Speaker 1: Covey is moving away. He is getting bombs and he
Speaker 1: is three up as the number one spot with forty
Speaker 1: one homers. Dee Blum and Mayor have thirty eight. God
Speaker 1: looking at Mayor on that is crazy night. King Terry
Speaker 1: and go cards all with thirty seven and it drops
Speaker 1: off a little bit. I'm just not within distance. So
Speaker 1: I've had a good like last week. I don't know
Speaker 1: my official total number. I want to say him at
Speaker 1: twenty seven or twenty eight. I just would have to
Speaker 1: have an insane run to get on this board title.
Speaker 1: Chaser landed the double bombs with Bobaschett. We said, Kubby
Speaker 1: had there and we have a home run call bonus. Kelly,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you announce what the bonus is, Okay.
Speaker 3: So I owed the penis and Cracker Jackson g because
Speaker 3: on eight eight. So far we've been doing this catcher
Speaker 3: bonus when the month in the day lineup.
Speaker 2: And I even thought about it about three o'clock in
Speaker 2: the morning on eight eight.
Speaker 3: I was like, make sure I remember to tell Welsh
Speaker 3: this and then I just faced it entirely. So I
Speaker 3: figured since we missed that date, I'll come up with
Speaker 3: a different one. We've talked about doing this one before,
Speaker 3: so for today only, if you are the only person
Speaker 3: to call player who homers, you get a bonus point
Speaker 3: for each home run that they hit.
Speaker 1: So, like you know, Josh Rojas hits it, I call it.
Speaker 1: I don't just get one.
Speaker 3: I get two, correct, So if you are the only one,
Speaker 3: then you double up. So it's kind of you know,
Speaker 3: see if we can get some people to call some
Speaker 3: out there guys. Obviously you can keep calling whoever you
Speaker 3: want and you can call Judge and you bet you're.
Speaker 2: Only going to get one.
Speaker 3: So and my next my next one. I think on
Speaker 3: Wonky Wednesdays, I might just come up with one. I'm
Speaker 3: basically just trying to structure these so that Joe doesn't
Speaker 3: get them, so you know what. I love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we should have bonus Wonky Wednesday bonuses. I think
Speaker 1: that's a fantastic idea. It's great to have you making
Speaker 1: those decisions here. But that definitely is now making me
Speaker 1: want to switch up my home run call and look
Speaker 1: around which I might do us as we get through this.
Speaker 1: So that is very very fun. I like that, and
Speaker 1: the home run contest getting very exciting over on Fantasy Pros.
Speaker 1: You get the discord and you can get in there,
Speaker 1: you can make your calls, you can do it daily,
Speaker 1: and maybe you can catch up. Maybe I can catch up.
Speaker 1: It's probably impossible. I think it was confirmed go Cards
Speaker 1: that I got twenty seven it's I would have to
Speaker 1: go on a big old streak to just get on
Speaker 1: the board. But we'll see, we got two months nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing is out of reach completely. I would what does
Speaker 1: Joe have? Do we know that?
Speaker 3: I think it's at thirty two thirty two.
Speaker 1: Okay, because it's not going to really be a huge win,
Speaker 1: but I definitely need to pass him. But you know,
Speaker 1: him not being on, well he is, he is Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge for two months. I still think that's okay if
Speaker 1: I pass him, like I can victory lap that just
Speaker 1: like a tiny tiny bit.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's with him not being here or anything like that. Friends,

Speaker 1: let's talk about a few props. I think we're like
Speaker 1: two for two yesterday. Actually the K props. Both K
Speaker 1: props hit, both total base did not. How we do it?
Speaker 1: I give you the top on the algorithm that is
Speaker 1: spit out over on betting pros on the prop cheat sheet,
Speaker 1: and then I give you two. So their's and my
Speaker 1: strikeout props both hit total bases, did not. What do
Speaker 1: they've got? What do they have? Paul Goldschmidt is your
Speaker 1: number one total base bet today? According to the algorithm
Speaker 1: over on UNI bet, it's really juiced up at one
Speaker 1: fifty seven. They're projecting three and a half total bases.
Speaker 1: You get one and a half at minus one fifty seven.
Speaker 1: So hey, their strikeout bet. This is on DK it's
Speaker 1: almost even money. Jose Burrios, they're projecting over six. The
Speaker 1: number is at four and a half. It's minus one
Speaker 1: oh five. I don't mind that against Baltimore. I've actually
Speaker 1: got three bets for you today. Two I feel probably
Speaker 1: a little bit better about those are my total base ones.
Speaker 1: I am a masochist, and I'm going Jose Kintana at
Speaker 1: Colorado because the number is at three and a half.
Speaker 1: It's almost even money projected at four had seven in
Speaker 1: his debut. I like him on the Cardinals, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to go down with the ship if he just
Speaker 1: gets lit up again. To buyer beware, Jordan Alvarez on
Speaker 1: total bases really like this one today. It's plus money
Speaker 1: at plus one ten projected at two and a half.
Speaker 1: You get plus one ten at one and a half,
Speaker 1: and Vlad Guerrero minus one thirteen projected at almost three
Speaker 1: at Sugarhouse. Kelly, what do you like out of those?
Speaker 1: You've got Goldie total bases, Jordan Guerrero, and then you've
Speaker 1: got k props of Brios and Quintana.
Speaker 3: I you know, I'm with you on Quintana only because
Speaker 3: of the whole You know, you have that memory that
Speaker 3: when a team score sixteen runs the next day they
Speaker 3: usually suck, right, So you're kind of like and he
Speaker 3: also has looked good, and you know the Rockies are
Speaker 3: the Rockies. I'm a big fan of Alvarro's today, so
Speaker 3: I would take the plus one ten on that one.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: Okay, sweet, So you're you're with both of mine. So
Speaker 1: there you go. If you guys want to make some bets,
Speaker 1: do it bet MGM promo code leading off, just the
Speaker 1: quick quick run through on some starting pitchers. DK was
Speaker 1: missing some info. Taylan Walker looks like a really good
Speaker 1: one at eight point four fanduelll Hear some prices. Verlander's
Speaker 1: eleven three, al Kantara is eleven two, Barrios is nine
Speaker 1: to two, and Taylan Walker's eight four. Your stacks unimplied totals.
Speaker 1: I believe Houston actually had the highest implied run total
Speaker 1: today at over six. Houston, Toronto and the Mets are
Speaker 1: a couple teams you can look at if you're stacking,
Speaker 1: and that leads us to the home run call. This
Speaker 1: is the Wonkee Wednesday pick where if you're the only
Speaker 1: one to call when you get an extra point. So
Speaker 1: what are you doing, Kelly? How are you gonna do this?
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna stay in Toronto and all right, I'm
Speaker 3: sorry in Colorado and do exactly the opposite of what
Speaker 3: I just said. Okay, So Charlie, Charlie Blackman is eight
Speaker 3: for thirteen with a home run, a double, and an
Speaker 3: OPS one point five three eight against Quintana. And I
Speaker 3: just assumed not very many people would go lefty lefty,
Speaker 3: but if someone does, I guess I'll change it.
Speaker 1: So and you know it's tough too about this for
Speaker 1: you and I, this specific pick one is almost impossible,
Speaker 1: I think, for you and I to take because anybody
Speaker 1: leading up to the games can then just go in
Speaker 1: and they can. One person goes puts it into the
Speaker 1: there's a bot in there where you call your home
Speaker 1: run call. We're kind of screwed. So it's almost it's
Speaker 1: almost counterintuitive for us to even attempt that one. And
Speaker 1: I was going to, uh, I mean, go cards brings
Speaker 1: up one. Van Grisham actually would have been like a
Speaker 1: really good one. I'm not gonna screw around because I'm
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get got I'm gonna go with my original guy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Laddie. I'm gonna go with Ladimir
Speaker 1: Gerrero Junior. Today. Let's just get on the board. Let's
Speaker 1: get those numbers up. I'm five away from Joe and
Speaker 1: hopefully I can make a little bit of a pass
Speaker 1: and a run. Here. You can find Kelly on Twitter
Speaker 1: at the Wonky Penguin. Did you say you just had
Speaker 1: an article drop over on Fantasy pros? Was it a waiverwire?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I did. I did both a waiver wire article and
Speaker 3: a streamer's article over the weekend. So okay, so go ahead,
Speaker 3: and I updated my prospects. I was gonna have you
Speaker 3: take a look at them to see if I was
Speaker 3: anywhere close cool.
Speaker 1: I would like to I would actually like to see
Speaker 1: what is the prospect like, is it prospects to pick
Speaker 1: up or is it an overall line?
Speaker 3: No. I just did my ranking on the platform at
Speaker 3: fantas gross, so I think they're available online somewhere, but
Speaker 3: I'll send them to you.
Speaker 1: That is very cool and if anybody cares over it
Speaker 1: in this league dot com on the Patreon, I just
Speaker 1: released my Top five hundred Prospect list update, which also
Speaker 1: has a Top four hundred Dynasty update and in the
Speaker 1: next week a Top two hundred prospect ADP. I will
Speaker 1: finally have all the data from multiple drafts I ran.
Speaker 1: And if anything you might care about it is like
Speaker 1: a value system of what does what do analysts A
Speaker 1: bunch of analysts and really hardcore dynasty players, how do
Speaker 1: they value prospects? And I think it's kind of a
Speaker 1: cool thing. So you can check that out. Over it
Speaker 1: in this league dot com. Go and check out Kelly
