Speaker 1: today on a Wednesday day before the NBA Draft. Major
Speaker 1: major hews breaking as we go in the air with
Speaker 1: Mike Conley being traded to Utah jazz Is. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of us expected. I thought the Jazzuary natural
Speaker 1: fit for him, and I think that could change some
Speaker 1: things for the Indiana Pacers. We'll get to that probably
Speaker 1: tomorrow um on our show. Or on the Twitch show
Speaker 1: or whatnot. But Frankie, what's going on? Many? What's happening
Speaker 1: to man? Happy hump day to you. We also had

Speaker 1: into that. Right at the top of the show, Zach
Speaker 1: Gallant expected to be called up tomorrow and start for
Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins. But before that, gready, how did you sleep, Bud?
Speaker 1: I step great. Last night's so great. We went a

Speaker 1: so much going on with your wedding, Judy's sisters moving on,
Speaker 1: paying bills and I missed my program? What do you
Speaker 1: mean you miss program? What do you mean you just
Speaker 1: I paid forty five dollars to go to an event.
Speaker 1: I was sitting at the head table and I was
Speaker 1: so busy. I forgot, and now I'm sitting in sweatpants
Speaker 1: on the couch and I'm like, okay, wait, wait, what
Speaker 1: does this have to do with me or the wedding?
Speaker 1: I missed my program. I'm sitting there crying of laughter,
Speaker 1: Frank crying. I'm so busy and Judy, I can't contain yourself.
Speaker 1: She are you laughing at me? Are you wocking me?
Speaker 1: And I can't stop. I just can't. I think I'm
Speaker 1: a negative influence on you. Greg. It was so funny.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it seems a little over the top, but
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not out of line and saying that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was amazing. It was amazing. It
Speaker 1: was one of those things like scaring me about the
Speaker 1: wedding press. It was one of those things. Did everyone
Speaker 1: get that crazy with the wedding? She wasn't doing anything
Speaker 1: for the wedding at all. She's just blaming us for
Speaker 1: her not seeing something on the calendar. Didn't do anything
Speaker 1: for the wedding yesterday at all. I've got nothing. Oh
Speaker 1: but basically she it was hilarious. So she was stressed
Speaker 1: out about that. So after that, I laughed myself to
Speaker 1: sleep and I slept. Great sounds like something the Joker
Speaker 1: would do. Laugh myself to sleep. There you go. It
Speaker 1: was awesome, dude, it was awesome. So I feel good tonight,
Speaker 1: and really it's a big night for me. Frank, I'm
Speaker 1: praying the rain holds out. I don't know what that
Speaker 1: will is it? Oh? Yeah? Opening day, opening day, Opening day,
Speaker 1: opening day in the kickball League, Raining defending Champions, Raining
Speaker 1: defending undisputed champions. That's right. I've recently joined a dodgeball
Speaker 1: league as well, which will be starting up next Thursday.
Speaker 1: Spin speeds of the dodgeball league, is he Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to talk to him get some tips. Dodge, duck, dip, diving, dodge.
Speaker 1: That's right. I gotta watch dodgeball this weekend to get myself. Yes,
Speaker 1: is King of playing as well. That's awesome as Uh. Similarly,
Speaker 1: her brother and his fiance's also wanted. That's fantastic. Yes,
Speaker 1: we got a little for watrouh. You guys just joined
Speaker 1: a random team. Yeah that's awesome. Yeah, I think you
Speaker 1: like said they're like, you tell them how many people
Speaker 1: you want on your team together, and like add a
Speaker 1: couple more people to it. Yeah, it's awesome. I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to that's great, man. I wish your best looking
Speaker 1: dodgeball I kickball gets it in tonight. I'm feeling good, um,
Speaker 1: feeling really good. Like bets were pretty good last night.
Speaker 1: Went two for three, so I feel good about that. Obviously,
Speaker 1: things can't go as great for you. That's okay. I
Speaker 1: went two for three yesterday. Both of my major underdogs hit.
Speaker 1: I love Detroit, I love the Marlins. Obviously Mary Kelly
Speaker 1: blew it at home against Colorado. But that's okay, two
Speaker 1: out of three eight now, I'll take that every day
Speaker 1: of the week absolutely, And I'm over two on the week,
Speaker 1: so we'll try and write the ship. And I'm a
Speaker 1: two for three on the week because I did never
Speaker 1: picked on Monday. I didn't work out. All right, We'll
Speaker 1: give your best bets forever later on in the program.
Speaker 1: I know Christie Intern desperately needs them because you know
Speaker 1: he went against us yesterday. It's a mistake for him.
Speaker 1: But on the show today there's a lot of maneuvering.
Speaker 1: I mentioned the trade uh in the NBA was also
Speaker 1: a major movement in the MLB. As a guy that
Speaker 1: you've been waiting to get called up, Frank, he's on
Speaker 1: his way up. And that is Zach Gallan, the Marlins
Speaker 1: prospect acquired in the deal for more Solo z. You know,
Speaker 1: along with Sandy Alcantara. He's being called up as Pablo
Speaker 1: Lopez is going to hit the I L What should
Speaker 1: we know about Zach Gallant and how desperate should we
Speaker 1: be to pick him up? He should be owned right now.
Speaker 1: I am very excited about Zack Gallan. Uh and and
Speaker 1: for a good reason. You look at what he's done
Speaker 1: in the miners this year in the PCL, where all
Speaker 1: you hear about is how everyone in the miners is mashing.
Speaker 1: This year. Power is up, isolated, power is up, batting
Speaker 1: averages up. Everyone is completely destroying the PCL and specifically
Speaker 1: Triple A as well. Zach Gallan in fourteen starts at
Speaker 1: one point seven seven e r A with a zero
Speaker 1: point seven one whip, a one fifty three batting average
Speaker 1: against one and twelve strikeouts in nine one and the
Speaker 1: third innings pitched. The reason why he wasn't on the
Speaker 1: forty man roster initially for the Miami Marlins heading into
Speaker 1: this season was he wasn't expected to developed this quickly. Frankly,
Speaker 1: and his fastball has seen a velocity uptick. This year,
Speaker 1: he's sitting in the mid nineties. He touches nineties seven
Speaker 1: with it. Normally he was in the load nineties with that. Uh.
Speaker 1: He mixes in a curveball and a changeup as well.
Speaker 1: Also has a cutter that he's using. He's just been
Speaker 1: absolutely phenomenal. I mean to put it in perspective, how
Speaker 1: good he's been hit. He leads the PCL with the
Speaker 1: one point seven seven e r A. The next closest
Speaker 1: is Hector Nosse. Yes that Hector Nosc with a two
Speaker 1: point eight seven e r A is twelve strikeouts are
Speaker 1: first in the PCL. Second Hector Nossey with eight eight.
Speaker 1: That's how good Zach Gallan has been. So I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: Seems like he's gonna get to start tomorrow going up
Speaker 1: against the St. Louis Cardinals. I don't want to just
Speaker 1: completely skip over the fact that Pablo Lopez is kind
Speaker 1: of like a casualty of this. I don't want to
Speaker 1: call him casualty. I think it's they're trying to limit
Speaker 1: his endings his workload as well. So I love to
Speaker 1: see if anything else comes out of this news regarding
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez. But Zack Gallant is getting the call, and
Speaker 1: if he's available in your league, you should pick him
Speaker 1: up right now. Absolutely. And it's funny because I want
Speaker 1: to start with the Marlins. That funny, but Zack Gallant
Speaker 1: has this prospect pedigree, Frank telling you to go run
Speaker 1: pick this dude up immediately. But he's not the only
Speaker 1: Marlin's young pitcher that's had some successes here. We've talked
Speaker 1: to Pablo Lopez and Caleb Smith and this Marlin's rotation
Speaker 1: in general, and yesterday that led us not to today's
Speaker 1: oriole starter, Jimmy Yakobonus, but instead it led us to
Speaker 1: Jimmy Yamamoto. As Yallomoto has faced St. Louis twice now
Speaker 1: in the Major leagues, and twice he has shut them out.
Speaker 1: Seven shoutout innings last night, two runs, two walks, he
Speaker 1: struck out seven pitches. He has been fantastic. It is
Speaker 1: two major league starts. The Marlins defeat the Cardinals six
Speaker 1: to nothing. Is Jack Flawery went seven inks, three run ball,
Speaker 1: four hits, eight strikeouts while allowing shoe home runs. Jimmy Yamamoto,
Speaker 1: for real, he certainly looks like it looks like it's
Speaker 1: so far. I was tweeting about Jimmy Yamamoto last night,
Speaker 1: and you know, people were responding to me saying that
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are really bad, and it's true. In the
Speaker 1: month of June, the Cardinals have something like a six
Speaker 1: twenty o p s and they're like twenty seven and
Speaker 1: baseball so they haven't been hitting. We get into that
Speaker 1: as well right after this Greggy regarding Paul Goldschmidt and
Speaker 1: Matt Carpenter. But for Yamamoto, I mean, his start last
Speaker 1: night was eerily similar to his debut. His debut seven
Speaker 1: innings pitched, three hits, zero earned runs, two walks, five strikeouts.
Speaker 1: That was last week, eight swinging strikes, fourteen first pitch
Speaker 1: strikes to twenty four batters. Last night, seven innings pitched
Speaker 1: two hits, so one less hit, zero earned runs, two walks,
Speaker 1: seven strikeouts to two more strikeouts, ten swinging strikes and
Speaker 1: again fourteen first pitch strikes to twenty four batters. So
Speaker 1: his second start later on in the week is expected
Speaker 1: to come against the Philadelphia Phillies in Philadelphia, so a
Speaker 1: little bit of a tougher task there. Let's see how
Speaker 1: he responds to that. If you do play in a
Speaker 1: daily transaction league. I might mention him for that, just
Speaker 1: because I worried a little bit about pitching instituen his
Speaker 1: bank against that lineup. He did get the good fortune
Speaker 1: of facing the Cardinals, who have not been able to
Speaker 1: hit the ball well this month. But Jimmy Yamamoto not
Speaker 1: to the same level of Zack Gallant, I think should
Speaker 1: be owned. I'm I'm not gonna drop anyone of value
Speaker 1: for him. Greg Well, well, to me, it's hard to
Speaker 1: say that. I know he faces the Phillies obviously later
Speaker 1: this weekend. It's his banking park. But what morgana dude
Speaker 1: due to get on your radar. I mean he's on
Speaker 1: the radar, But are you gonna drop that one of
Speaker 1: of shut out? Are you gonna drop anyone of serious value?
Speaker 1: What does that? What does that mean? Pado Lopez? Would
Speaker 1: you drop pabol Loopez? Who's who's been If I'm on
Speaker 1: the I l that doesn't work again, Um, trying to
Speaker 1: think of like a starting pitcher who's been struggling, Chris
Speaker 1: Archer for him, that's fair, I'm a right with that.
Speaker 1: There's some value that, Yeah, I mean I'd rather drop
Speaker 1: I would personally put gallant ahead of Yamamoto, even though
Speaker 1: we've seen Yamamoto do it for two starts for fine,
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's like, if we're ranking the two, I
Speaker 1: would rather have Gown than I would rather have Yamamoto.
Speaker 1: But I do like him. He's pitched well, and you know,
Speaker 1: he does it with an interesting pitch mix. He doesn't
Speaker 1: overpower people. He doesn't have like a mid nineties fastball.
Speaker 1: He throws maybe two, and he has you know, four
Speaker 1: other off speed pitches that he uses. He has a
Speaker 1: curveball changeup. He he has a cutter as well that
Speaker 1: he uses. So he's kind of a crafty pitcher and
Speaker 1: it's worked out so far. So I want to see
Speaker 1: if you can keep it up against Philadelphie Phillies. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you about another name he also pitched last night,
Speaker 1: and that's Jay Hap have won five inutes, allowed two runs,
Speaker 1: three strikers. Didn't want anybody seven hits the ear ay
Speaker 1: goes down to four point five nine or eighty seven
Speaker 1: pitches in his five innings of work. He proved the
Speaker 1: seven in three. Like like, Jav has not been good,
Speaker 1: but by any means, he doesn't go deep into games anymore. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's got like two quality stars or three quality starts
Speaker 1: on this season. It's been a really real struggle for him.
Speaker 1: He's a lot of home runs at a record clip.
Speaker 1: In fact, yesterday was the first time in six starts
Speaker 1: that he did not allow a home run. What do
Speaker 1: you make of Jay hat going forward? What do you
Speaker 1: think of his performance last night? And is that someone
Speaker 1: you consider dripping for a Zach Gallon or Jimmy Yama Moto.
Speaker 1: I it's tough to say, because he is going to
Speaker 1: be in position to get a lot of wins. He
Speaker 1: has seven wins on the year despite a four point
Speaker 1: five nine e r A. And just to put that
Speaker 1: in perspective, I was gonna mention this later on, but
Speaker 1: Marcus Stroman is four and nine with a three point
Speaker 1: to three EARRA. So it just shows you how flukey
Speaker 1: winds can be in baseball. He's gonna be in position
Speaker 1: to get a lot of wins. But happ has not pissed. Well,
Speaker 1: you're right, Greg, he's given up a lot of home
Speaker 1: runs this year. He's not getting as many swings and
Speaker 1: mrs we kind of thought that might be the case.
Speaker 1: The strikeouts are down this year. Uh, the hard hit
Speaker 1: rate is up against him four point five nine e
Speaker 1: r A. The underlying numbers for Jay Happ are not
Speaker 1: good either. The problem I have for dropping him for
Speaker 1: someone like Yamamoto or Zach Gallen is that we don't
Speaker 1: know how long those guys are going to be up.
Speaker 1: I would probably make the move for Gallen if Jay
Speaker 1: Happ was the worst player on my team, if he
Speaker 1: was the worst pitcher on my team. But I do
Speaker 1: have concerns for both of those guys. You know, how
Speaker 1: long are they going to stick around? You know, once
Speaker 1: Caleb Smith is back. We'll get an update from Inside
Speaker 1: Injuries tomorrow regarding Caleb Smith. But one Smith is back,
Speaker 1: does that mean one of Gallen or Yamamoto goes back down? Potentially?
Speaker 1: You know, if this isn't a long term injury for
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez, if it even is also out too, He's out.
Speaker 1: And you're saying like this with your quotations. But what
Speaker 1: I'm seeing on Pablo Lopez, I say, shoulder injury. I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is just mean. I mean, it
Speaker 1: makes sense why they would make up an injury for
Speaker 1: him if they're trying to limit his endings. Pissed Greg,
Speaker 1: I understand his long term future. I mean we see
Speaker 1: that with Chris Paddock, he got sent down. I mean
Speaker 1: you could have sent Paulo Lopez down. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe he is actually dealing with something. I
Speaker 1: would lean towards this probably, LIKEA just said, I hope
Speaker 1: they were just shutting down Paublo Lopez for breathing. But
Speaker 1: it sounds worse than that, all right, So we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens there. So yeah, I mean I guess I
Speaker 1: would drop HAB for either one of them. I still
Speaker 1: think like Caleb Smith is gonna be back soon, and
Speaker 1: like again, does that mean Gallon or Yamamoto is going down?
Speaker 1: You actually hear him on the Fantasy Sports rad your network,
Speaker 1: But doing to do it now because we're on But
Speaker 1: Baboo is back in Miami for more tests on his shoulder. Again,
Speaker 1: I am unclear on the severity of the issue. Oh great, Bob,
Speaker 1: would you drop HAB for both of them? I would
Speaker 1: do it for Gallon, probably do it for Gallan, but
Speaker 1: like how I know he just gave us the rundown
Speaker 1: on Gallon and why he's been good this year. I
Speaker 1: mean he is the best. He is the best pitcher
Speaker 1: in the miners right now, really in terms of his
Speaker 1: stats this year, like maybe not like long term projection,
Speaker 1: but he is pitching like the best player in the
Speaker 1: minors so far this season, at least in Triple A.
Speaker 1: I mean I haven't. I mean, I haven't like double
Speaker 1: pretty good last man um. I mean he's by far
Speaker 1: the best picture in a difference. Okay, okay, I mean
Speaker 1: it might be the miners. I mean the fact that
Speaker 1: he's doing what he's doing in the PCL is super,
Speaker 1: super impressive, very much. So he's in the PCO. He's
Speaker 1: in the PCO. The PCL. Really that makes sense. They
Speaker 1: are in the I am looking at the Pacific Coast
Speaker 1: League leaderboard. Where where they where do they play? Where?
Speaker 1: Believe it's New Orleans? Is not Pacific New Orleans, Baby Cakes,
Speaker 1: New York, New Oran Zeipher's right, I mean, I'm looking.
Speaker 1: I'm not making it up. It's just say it's his PCL.
Speaker 1: So I don't know why would Minor league at mill
Speaker 1: dot Com lie to me Greg anyway, it's not relevant.
Speaker 1: We're dropping Jay Hat for Zach Gallen. And if you
Speaker 1: think that Yamamoto is gonna stick around like once Caleb
Speaker 1: Smith is back, I don't know. I just have concerns.
Speaker 1: I would do it for Gallant. I'm not sure I
Speaker 1: would do it for Yamamoto, but I do like Yamamoto. Okay,
Speaker 1: fair enough. Sorry, you seem like you're on the fence.
Speaker 1: I am on the fence. I am on the fence.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find out why they're not in their
Speaker 1: international leagues. It doesn't make sense to me, but that's
Speaker 1: what it is. Pacificosely doesn't make sense. A lot of
Speaker 1: traveling a minute, one Jesus is the segment is flying by.
Speaker 1: Oh my god? All right? Um for the Yankees, Karen,
Speaker 1: maybe a homer for the fourth consecutive day, and when
Speaker 1: a Carnascion Frank twenty second homer of the year, first
Speaker 1: as a Yankee. It was a celebrasion for Incarnacion. Nope, Nope,
Speaker 1: I could expect it. Swung on and drove the date
Speaker 1: right center. That bathers high. That is far. That is
Speaker 1: god Eddie and Carnacion's first home run as a Yankee.
Speaker 1: Maybe you want us so a brascion for Edwin and
Speaker 1: Carnac whoa, there was bracion for a Carnacio. That was fun.
Speaker 1: Yankees going over the sweep today table Carl Stanton not
Speaker 1: in the line He looked great last night too. I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't, Yeah, why would he not be in the lineup?
Speaker 1: Hammond Maybe creator signed don Carlo Staton. Let's not do this.
Speaker 1: Let's not do this. Take a break. We've back after this.

Speaker 1: coming up starting at the Cardinals tomorrow, Frank, Reggie the stats.
Speaker 1: But it's been an amazing, amazing season over kid and
Speaker 1: walk ratio is just stupid. One twelve to night. Yeah
Speaker 1: in the p C O in the PCL. Amazing. I
Speaker 1: still can't believe they're playing the PCL. They're just not
Speaker 1: on the Pacific coast anyway. Yeah, you're not wrong. It
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me. Okay, I tell you all right, Um,
Speaker 1: what else happened last night? Well a lot, because you
Speaker 1: know what, Frank, and if it doesn't matter to you,
Speaker 1: and we'll do it very quickly, I promise it was
Speaker 1: a Brett Anderson night. Yeah, I don't see that on
Speaker 1: the run down grade. Seven innings of two run ball
Speaker 1: only one were earned, shuck out too only runs the
Speaker 1: Allower and Johnny v R Homer and then in this
Speaker 1: uh later uh error by Marcus Simeon run of the
Speaker 1: other run. Great start from Brett Anderson. Yeah, I really
Speaker 1: really love the two strikeouts, Greig tell us, tell us
Speaker 1: more about it, freak. It's a quality starting to win,
Speaker 1: feeling good. A lot of home runs by the by
Speaker 1: the eight. Yeah, Chris Davis needs a few more hits
Speaker 1: to get is batting average forty seven, and that's what
Speaker 1: I noticed last Ramo Loriano awesome as usual. Only been
Speaker 1: telling you about it for a month now. Average the
Speaker 1: best fantasy analysts ever. I'm always right. Average sixty five,
Speaker 1: by the way, sixty five. Very good stuff. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: let's actually talk about Merrill Kelly. Though, for real, I
Speaker 1: don't even know if that's on the run down. I'm
Speaker 1: just doing it's not on the run down, Greg, I
Speaker 1: have to probably pull up the run I don't want
Speaker 1: to pull up the run down. It's like, these are
Speaker 1: things that I wanted to talk about. Greg should have
Speaker 1: added them to the I make a lot of notes
Speaker 1: before the show, Greg, and all of them are based
Speaker 1: on things that are on the rundown. I don't have
Speaker 1: any notes for Merrill Kelly. I could talk about Merrill Kelly.
Speaker 1: I'll talk about whatever you want to talk about. Greg.
Speaker 1: I take notes based on what I put on the
Speaker 1: rundown because I think it's relevant, all right, So should
Speaker 1: I fother run down? Then Max Scherzer broke your nose.
Speaker 1: That's that's what That's what I wrote you notes on that.
Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't when I when I wrote that
Speaker 1: last night, I was actually very angry because I didn't
Speaker 1: think he was gonna start, So I wrote, you broke
Speaker 1: your nose, you idiot. And then also Aaron Judge homered
Speaker 1: in rehab triple A back as soon as Friday. Aaron Judge,
Speaker 1: your last note here is that John Peterson playing first
Speaker 1: They might play first base for the Doctors, so that
Speaker 1: allows them to uh potentially keep Alex Verdugo in the
Speaker 1: outfield once A. J. Pollock returns to So I thought
Speaker 1: that was relevant as well, Gregg, what do you think?
Speaker 1: I think that's very relevant and it's more eligibility, although
Speaker 1: I still doubt he will play against left handers. That's
Speaker 1: probably correct. They can put what do they normally put
Speaker 1: there against lefties like David Fees. Can he play for space?
Speaker 1: Yes he can? All right, so then yeah that's probably
Speaker 1: the case. Yeah, um, okay, I'm gonna go into Merrill Kelly. Now.
Speaker 1: Merrill Kelly last night against Colorado's six innings, six runs allowed.
Speaker 1: He did not have it at home. Frankie, you know
Speaker 1: who did. Antonio sends to tell, oh, a six and
Speaker 1: seven hits, one run walked for, he struck out five.
Speaker 1: He was really good Ronado. Um, you know, homer off
Speaker 1: of Merrill Kelly in that first in the A ten
Speaker 1: homer for Ernado was actually struggled in the month of June.
Speaker 1: It was a really nice day for Colorado all around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Antonio sends to tell has a five point zero nine
Speaker 1: e r A on the season. He's got a five
Speaker 1: point zero eight xfit. I don't know what else you
Speaker 1: wanted to say about. Antonio sends a telegrag I'm not
Speaker 1: worried about. What do you want to say about Merrill Kelly?
Speaker 1: What happened? Man? He's been so good. He still has
Speaker 1: a three point nine. Actually, I don't know if they
Speaker 1: factored in the last night, but anyway, this has pretty
Speaker 1: much been the It's been the case for Merlo Kelly
Speaker 1: all season long. He goes on these stretches where he
Speaker 1: looks like he's can pitch pretty well. We thought he's
Speaker 1: in a good spot here two starts at home. That
Speaker 1: was not the case. He should be able to bounce
Speaker 1: back against the San Francisco Giants later on in the week.
Speaker 1: Matt Modica really really liked Meryll Kelly. He wasn't really
Speaker 1: the top guy for me. There are a few others
Speaker 1: that I liked more than him. Spoke about Tyler Skaggs,
Speaker 1: who pitched well last night as well. But yeah, Merrill Kelly, Look,
Speaker 1: he just doesn't have good enough stuff. He has changed
Speaker 1: up his arsenal, using his cutter more, his fastball is
Speaker 1: getting hit hart earlier in the season, but it just
Speaker 1: doesn't really have good enough stuff to miss batts, and
Speaker 1: he's prone to blow ups because of that. So Merrill Kelly,
Speaker 1: outside of a you know, fifteen team mix and the
Speaker 1: only league, I don't think he should be rostered in
Speaker 1: anything shallower than that twelve team leagues. He should not
Speaker 1: be owned. A y the Clock that struck midnight Corey
Speaker 1: to Frank example true another game I was watching last
Speaker 1: night because I told you I was starting Brett and
Speaker 1: Sin this week, but I was also storing Marcus Stroman
Speaker 1: and I made I made the move to switch from
Speaker 1: Chris Archer to Marcus Stroman. So I watched a lot
Speaker 1: of this Angels Blue Jay's game and Stroman was pitching really,
Speaker 1: really well until he got caught um in the fifth inning.
Speaker 1: Back to back homer's from cool Calhoun and I'm back
Speaker 1: to that home works. But in the same Mann Colca
Speaker 1: hu and Brian Goodwin h both got him. He didn't
Speaker 1: pitching into the eighth inning. Stroman was in control. Was
Speaker 1: so much on the night. I know it didn't strike
Speaker 1: many Peo people out, but he only a lot of
Speaker 1: four hits, three runs, three k's with that one walk.
Speaker 1: He dropped to four nine when another quality start earray
Speaker 1: sits at three point to three. It was a really
Speaker 1: good night for Stroman, but also a really good night
Speaker 1: on the other side for Tyler Skaggs, who went seven
Speaker 1: and the third three hits, one run, struck at six,
Speaker 1: didn't walk anybody. Both of these offenses a bit off balance.
Speaker 1: Um throughout the night. Lords Gurriel also went deep. They
Speaker 1: went deep with the Blue Jays the eighth time this season.
Speaker 1: Marcus Stroman, I know it hasn't exactly been pretty in
Speaker 1: the strikeouts aren't necessarily there, but both of you guys
Speaker 1: pitched well last night. Frank, Yeah, Marcus Stroman, what we've
Speaker 1: always said about him is that he walks too many
Speaker 1: bad ers, and he doesn't get enough strikeouts to mitigate
Speaker 1: those walks. Now, he does get a lot of groundballs,
Speaker 1: and you know, if he had a good defense behind
Speaker 1: him there all right, probably closer to bad. But if
Speaker 1: he has a really good defense behind him, then I
Speaker 1: think he can he can make it work because he
Speaker 1: gets as many groundballs as he does fifty groundball right
Speaker 1: this year. So he puts a lot of runners on
Speaker 1: base via the walk, doesn't get a lot of strikeouts,
Speaker 1: pitches more to contact, and then you have worried you
Speaker 1: you have worries about guys like that. Florio talked about
Speaker 1: that with Dallas Kaiko last year. Is that when you
Speaker 1: put guys on base and you don't get enough strikeouts,
Speaker 1: you're you're prone to you know, giving up like hits here,
Speaker 1: hits there, and the next thing you know, you give
Speaker 1: up like three four runs, and um, it sucks. It sucks.
Speaker 1: But Mark Stroman so far thist year has pitched well
Speaker 1: three point two three e r A. He's got the
Speaker 1: underlying numbers are not as good four point one six
Speaker 1: x fit four point four six Sierra. I still do
Speaker 1: like him, and maybe a change of scenery will help
Speaker 1: him out, but overall it's been a really good bounce
Speaker 1: back season. Four Marcus Stroman and then Tyler Skaggs. It
Speaker 1: hasn't been as good of a season for him, and
Speaker 1: he really needed this bounce back performance and that's exactly
Speaker 1: what he got here. Seven and the third Ding's pits,
Speaker 1: three hits, only one earned run that was the home
Speaker 1: run to lord as Geriel, who remains red hot. I
Speaker 1: love the zero walks here for him. Six strikeouts as well.
Speaker 1: We talked about this on Monday with Matt Moodique as well.
Speaker 1: We like streaming pictures against the Toronto Blue Jays. We
Speaker 1: had concerns with Scaggs because he had struggled overall recently
Speaker 1: and he had struggled on the road this season, so
Speaker 1: we weren't necessarily on Tyler Scaggs for his double start.
Speaker 1: But if he puts together two good starts this week
Speaker 1: then and you picked him up, or if he's out there,
Speaker 1: then I could give you confidence moving forward when it
Speaker 1: comes to Tyler Skaggs. Yeah, absolutely Scaggs if he continue
Speaker 1: to build on this momentum he gained last night. Scaggs
Speaker 1: is talented enough to go on a bit of a run.
Speaker 1: I like Skaggs and as you mentioned, Marcus Stromans which
Speaker 1: really really well this year, but even giving him a
Speaker 1: lot of trade value which no doubt the Blue Jays
Speaker 1: will probably take up on look. And Allen made his
Speaker 1: debut last night for the San Diego Padres. For more
Speaker 1: top prospect Logan Allan, I think he's actually still inside
Speaker 1: the top one um. Alan makes his debut and he
Speaker 1: got a lot of height given his uh connection with
Speaker 1: John Cena. The story goes that he met John Cena
Speaker 1: at a restaurant in Tampa years ago and they made
Speaker 1: a one dollar bet that Logan Allen would never make
Speaker 1: it to the majors, and last night he did. Sina
Speaker 1: was in attendance tonight or he will be attendance once
Speaker 1: again to give Alan the one dollar that he earned
Speaker 1: by making the majors. How into Logan Allen should we be?
Speaker 1: And it has not been. I know it has not
Speaker 1: been a good season of the miners for him. But
Speaker 1: he does have pedigree, Yeah, he does. He's the sixth
Speaker 1: rank prospect in the Padres organization according to MLB dot
Speaker 1: com and he saw that plus change up on display
Speaker 1: last night. That's a sixty grade changeup out of eight
Speaker 1: according to MLB dot com. Once again, you you saw
Speaker 1: it on display, he looked pretty good, and you know
Speaker 1: you're right, Greg and the miners. This year and Triple
Speaker 1: A he had a five point one five e r A,
Speaker 1: but every other year, like last year, combined between double
Speaker 1: A and Triple A, he had a two point i
Speaker 1: four e r A eighteen at two point nine five
Speaker 1: e r A s at three point four seventy yar
Speaker 1: A And he's got four hundred forty one strikeouts in
Speaker 1: four hundred and eighteen ennings pitched in the minor leagues,
Speaker 1: so well over a strikeout er ending. He was struggling
Speaker 1: this year, but every other year he was really good.
Speaker 1: So in deeper leagues he's not to the level of
Speaker 1: Zac Gallen, probably not even a Yamamoto, but in deeper leagues, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do have interest in Logan. I like him. All
Speaker 1: these young pictures coming up there, they're making progress, and
Speaker 1: it's amazing because you talk about Logan Allen and you
Speaker 1: get to a guy like Zach Polisack, right, that did
Speaker 1: not exactly have major pedigree by any sense other than
Speaker 1: the last name, but he was a prospect that we
Speaker 1: didn't wait and see approach on almost like look Logan
Speaker 1: Allen and all police Stack has done since coming up.
Speaker 1: Has performed every chance he's gotten, including last night against
Speaker 1: Texas doing seven ings of one room ball only that's
Speaker 1: two hits. Now he walked five, which isn't very good,
Speaker 1: but he's still struck out six over dred pitches another good.
Speaker 1: Know if Alani might Zach Pleisac, Yeah, he's been really
Speaker 1: good so far in the Majors. He's allowed to earn
Speaker 1: runs or less in four of his five starts. And
Speaker 1: he actually did his job. When I chose the Indians
Speaker 1: and Rangers under yesterday and Adrian Sampson, you did not,
Speaker 1: so shame on you. But Zach Pleisac has pitched very well.
Speaker 1: He's gone seven innings pitched exactly seven ennings pitched in
Speaker 1: three of his last four starts. The strikeouts have been solid,
Speaker 1: six strikeouts last night, He's had at least six strikeouts.
Speaker 1: He's had at least five strikeouts in four straight games.
Speaker 1: I really do not like the five walks. The underlying
Speaker 1: numbers for Zach Pleisac are worrisome. He's got a two
Speaker 1: five six e r A. He's got a four seven
Speaker 1: three x fit right. This is one of those scenarios
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna continue to ride until the wheels fall
Speaker 1: off here for Zach Plisack because it seems like sooner
Speaker 1: rather than later that is going to happen. But as
Speaker 1: long as he is pitching well, I'll keep him in
Speaker 1: my lineup. How do you rank rank Zach Pleisack with
Speaker 1: the other guys I mentioned? I know Zach Gallen's first, like,
Speaker 1: you love Zach Gallan talking about months, but what about
Speaker 1: the other players yelling the Alan and now Police, Like,
Speaker 1: how would you rank them in the order that you
Speaker 1: want them based on the underlying numbers here? I would
Speaker 1: put Police s ac last. I know he's pitched well,
Speaker 1: and I'm not really sure how long Logan Allen is
Speaker 1: going to remain in the rotation, But the Padres have
Speaker 1: kind of been throwing not great starting pitchers out there
Speaker 1: so far this year, and if Logan Allen can help
Speaker 1: them win games, I think he'll remain in the rotation again.
Speaker 1: I'm really intrigued by what he's done in the minors
Speaker 1: every season before this year, and he looked pretty good
Speaker 1: last night too. I mean to go seven innings against
Speaker 1: a really good Milwaukee Brewer's lineup. I have interest there
Speaker 1: in Logan Allen, so I would rank police Ack last.
Speaker 1: I would probably go Logan Allen third, and then the
Speaker 1: two Marlins guys ahead of him, Yallamoto second, and then
Speaker 1: Zac Gallan first, just because we've seen Yallamoto do it
Speaker 1: for for two starts in a row. Now it does
Speaker 1: sound like you're almost now higher on Yellow Motor than
Speaker 1: I think you were like ten minutes ago. No. I
Speaker 1: liked him. I wrote about him last week on my Patreon. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I was raving about him last week when
Speaker 1: he made his debut. I was watching that start. I
Speaker 1: think there's lots of like there again, Like he's he's
Speaker 1: a crafty pitcher because he doesn't overpower anyone, but he
Speaker 1: uses you know, three or four off speed breaking pitches
Speaker 1: and he mixes them in well. So I think it's
Speaker 1: a good job by the pitching coach there, good job
Speaker 1: by the catcher as well, putting Yamamoto in position to succeed.
Speaker 1: And I like what I've seen from him. So and
Speaker 1: that was, you know, dating back to last week, it
Speaker 1: was just kind of a head scratcher for me because
Speaker 1: he got the call before Gallon. But now the Gallant
Speaker 1: here we could all just be happy in one big,
Speaker 1: happy family, absolutely happy, full of gallons, gallons and gallons
Speaker 1: of milk. Yes, I saw shout out to Andy Singleton
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He said, Happy Gallantine's Day. You don't like
Speaker 1: that one, Greg, God, God, we're just trying too hard now.
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't make it up. I gave credit
Speaker 1: to the person who did make it up. I think
Speaker 1: it's the end of the line for Adrian Sampson. Three innings,
Speaker 1: six hits, five runs, two walks, four strikeout, a lot
Speaker 1: of home run in his three innings of work. Not
Speaker 1: so good. Drew Smiley even worse though. Yeah, we tried
Speaker 1: to make something out of nothing here. I think when
Speaker 1: it came to push James, he did go on a
Speaker 1: streak where he pitched well and you know, forced us
Speaker 1: to put him on the map. But there's now two
Speaker 1: starts in a row where he has not pitched well.
Speaker 1: He was pitching well at home this year. That's why
Speaker 1: I liked him as a two star pitcher. But you know,
Speaker 1: against the Indians, got blown up here and his last
Speaker 1: start out against the Red Sox. It's just not looking
Speaker 1: good for Adrian Sampson. Greg It is looking good for
Speaker 1: Willy Calhoun, who we believe it was in the ninth
Speaker 1: inning yesterday hit a two run bomb, wasn't really a
Speaker 1: bomb and kind of barely got over the wall. But
Speaker 1: it counts nonetheless to run. Homer for Willy Calhoun, first hit,
Speaker 1: first hit since coming off the i El Coople of
Speaker 1: days ago. Calhoun's third home run over the season. Good
Speaker 1: to see him go deep. Good to see Jose Ramirez
Speaker 1: go deep as well, Frank for his fifth homer of
Speaker 1: the year. Are we still talking about this guy? I
Speaker 1: was adding average now back over too. I feel like
Speaker 1: there have been players who have hit five home runs
Speaker 1: in a game already, this year's teams. That way, It's
Speaker 1: it's June nineteenth and Josian Maris has five home runs.
Speaker 1: It's it's June tenth. Five. Yeah, next player, Greg, next
Speaker 1: playing Um, we don't want, don't want to get you
Speaker 1: know what? You know what we'll get to. You were
Speaker 1: talking abouture performances. Let's talking about Jacob Degram because Jacob
Speaker 1: Degram last night against the Atlanta Braves do what Jacob
Speaker 1: Degram does. By the way, they are the hottest team baseball,
Speaker 1: and Jacob Degram well he was absolutely dominant through almost
Speaker 1: nine innings of work. He shrugged out ten allowed two
Speaker 1: runs in the ninth inning, uh five hits and those
Speaker 1: runs home runs by Josh Donaldson and Freddie Freeman. But
Speaker 1: he was amazing in the Mets ten to two victory.
Speaker 1: And after the game, Freddie Freeman is this is what
Speaker 1: we expect. It's Jacob Degram. He's one of, if not
Speaker 1: the best pitchers in baseball, and he showed it. And
Speaker 1: don't look now, you look at with de Graam has
Speaker 1: done recently. I mean, he's been amazing. He's allowed two
Speaker 1: runs or less in every start since May twenty seconds,
Speaker 1: and that's about a month before that. He got bombed
Speaker 1: in Miami, oddly enough, But other than that start in Miami,
Speaker 1: you go all the way that to April twenty six
Speaker 1: for the last time he allowed more than two runs
Speaker 1: in a start. He's been fantastic. Maybe not as good
Speaker 1: as last year, Frank, Jacob de Gram certainly has figured
Speaker 1: things out. Yeah, he's had three random blow up games
Speaker 1: this year where he's allowed six and runs against the
Speaker 1: Twins five and runs against the Milwaukee Brewers. You can
Speaker 1: kind of give him a pass for both of those. Teams,
Speaker 1: knowing what we know now about both of their offenses.
Speaker 1: We knew the Brewers were gonna be good, and I
Speaker 1: like the Twins, but I don't think anyone foresaw them
Speaker 1: being this good. And then that random start against the Marlins.
Speaker 1: Every other start he's been really, really good. He's been
Speaker 1: Jacob Degram good. I think last year obviously a historic
Speaker 1: season at one point seven oh e r A, it
Speaker 1: seems like that might be the outlier for his career.
Speaker 1: But if you look at the three point to six
Speaker 1: e r A, right in line with all of his
Speaker 1: underlying e r A indicators, it's right in line with
Speaker 1: what he was doing two years ago against seen when
Speaker 1: he had a three point five three e r A
Speaker 1: and all the underlying numbers. They were really good. Swinging strikes,
Speaker 1: still awesome, getting opponents to chase. It's just that the
Speaker 1: hard hit rate is up against him, like it is
Speaker 1: against every pitcher this year, because hitting is just up
Speaker 1: in baseball, and he's giving up more home runs last
Speaker 1: year zero point four one home runs per nine, which
Speaker 1: is just nearly unsustainable. And that's why we're talking about
Speaker 1: in last season as a as an historic year, and
Speaker 1: then this year back up to one point one nine
Speaker 1: home runs per nine, so that seems a little bit
Speaker 1: more realistic with what's going on in baseball nowadays. But
Speaker 1: still one of the top five, maybe top three starting
Speaker 1: pitchers in baseball. I'm not worried at all. A couple
Speaker 1: of days ago, Frank you was you got a question
Speaker 1: on Twitter and you had said the question was Blake
Speaker 1: Snell versus Jacob deGrom and of the lead you would
Speaker 1: florial both said Snell. I said to Grom, you would
Speaker 1: you like to change your answer? I actually thought about
Speaker 1: that as well after Blake Snell's most recent blow up Greg.
Speaker 1: But the underlying numbers for Snell they're very similar to
Speaker 1: the ground They're actually better though the strikeouts are better
Speaker 1: for Blake Snell as well. The walks are a little
Speaker 1: bit down this year. I just think at this point
Speaker 1: it might be crazy to say, but Blake s Now
Speaker 1: I think might have better stuff than Jacob Degram. Greg,
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't want to take anything away
Speaker 1: from the ground. They're both really really good pictures. But
Speaker 1: Blake Snell's swinging strike ERDs eighteen point seven percent this season.
Speaker 1: That is the best in baseball. I'm not gonna retract it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with it. I'm gonna stick with Blake
Speaker 1: Snell over Jacob Degram. But you're I mean, you're splitting
Speaker 1: hairs here. They're both really really good pictures. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you play in a points league, you might get
Speaker 1: a little bit more linked out of de Gram. He
Speaker 1: might go deeper into games. Uh, you don't really worry
Speaker 1: about anythings as much with him. I don't really have
Speaker 1: that concern with Blake Snell, but again, works putting hairs.
Speaker 1: I do think that the talent is just a little
Speaker 1: bit higher for one Blake Snell. But again they're both
Speaker 1: in my top five. I'll remain with my answer Snell
Speaker 1: over de Gram. I will also remain with my answer
Speaker 1: Jacob Degram over Blake Snell. Uh. Who the Mets hitting?
Speaker 1: I might go four to win at the fourteen time
Speaker 1: this year, Jeff McNeil the fourth time this year, and
Speaker 1: Peter Alonzo the twenty fourth home run of the season.
Speaker 1: Alonzo to seventy four average three o b P power
Speaker 1: is very much real, obviously for Pete Alonzo, who has
Speaker 1: simply been outstanding for the New York Matts this season.
Speaker 1: One of the bets I did get right. Yesterday was
Speaker 1: the Tigers over the Pirates. As Mitch Keller's name, I
Speaker 1: wanted to bring up to you, Frank five inutings, four runs,
Speaker 1: two walks, six strikeouts on the day for Keller. Forget
Speaker 1: what Daniel Norris did. We've talked enough about him. He's useless.
Speaker 1: Mitch Keller people are very, very excited about. He has
Speaker 1: yet to really put together a good start. You drop
Speaker 1: Mitch Keller for some of the names we've talked about today.
Speaker 1: I think it's a fair question. I think it's a
Speaker 1: good question. I think when everything is once he starts
Speaker 1: to get everything going right for him, I do think
Speaker 1: that he might have higher upside than some of these
Speaker 1: other pictures. And I realized it's only been one start
Speaker 1: for Logan Allen. Zach Allen hasn't even made a start yet.
Speaker 1: I would still I would take I would probably take
Speaker 1: Gallon ahead of him, and then fumbling with those other two,
Speaker 1: I would I would take Yamamoto just because he's pitched
Speaker 1: well so far in his first two starts, and he
Speaker 1: pitches his home starts in Marlins Park. I would still
Speaker 1: take Mitch Keller ahead of Logan Allen. Um because you
Speaker 1: saw it yesterday what his upside can be. I know
Speaker 1: he gave up four runs technically, but it was only
Speaker 1: two earned runs, so some questionable defense behind him. He
Speaker 1: still had six strike as he had fifteen swinging strikes
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Detroit Tigers, which is what he's supposed
Speaker 1: to do. I know Mike has actually talked about this
Speaker 1: a lot. Mike Florio that the Pittsburgh Pirates their way
Speaker 1: of thinking when it comes there pitching philosophy with their
Speaker 1: starting pitchers is outdated. They have these guys throwing a
Speaker 1: lot of fastballs, and you saw that last night for
Speaker 1: Mitch Keller, sixty two fastballs out of ninety three pitches,
Speaker 1: and it's a little bit outdated. You know. I would
Speaker 1: like to see must grow view his use his breaking
Speaker 1: pitches more or it seems like that's kind of what's
Speaker 1: gotten him in trouble so far this season. I would
Speaker 1: like to see Mitch Keller use some of his breaking
Speaker 1: pitches more as well. But the fact that he did
Speaker 1: have the six strikeouts in five innings and the fifteen
Speaker 1: swinging strikes, I think he reminded some of us of
Speaker 1: what his upside can be. So I still do like
Speaker 1: Mitch Keller a decent amount. Greg, I would rank him
Speaker 1: pretty much in the middle of these guys that we're
Speaker 1: talking about in the Marlins guys, but ahead of Logan
Speaker 1: on okay, and then he's also ahead of Zack police
Speaker 1: Stack as well. Correct. Okay, cool um, that's what miss
Speaker 1: Kelly did last night. Shane Green twenty first save of
Speaker 1: the season. Joehanennez still pitching that eighth inning. So you're
Speaker 1: Shane Green owner, you may want to bite the bullet.
Speaker 1: Now get a roster spot for Himenez before Shane Green
Speaker 1: gets traded. The Lessia didn't trade him, So Frank, let's
Speaker 1: maybe we cross our fingers. I hope you're right. I
Speaker 1: hope you're right for I think everyone hopes you're right, Greg,
Speaker 1: Because while there's a chance that a closer on one
Speaker 1: team could be traded to another team in and remain
Speaker 1: a closer for the for the new team that they're
Speaker 1: acquired by, I don't know if it would be the
Speaker 1: case for Shane Green. He is having a breakout year
Speaker 1: this year. He's been all He's got a zero point
Speaker 1: nine three e R at twenty one saves. But if
Speaker 1: he's traded to I know the Red Sox well, maybe
Speaker 1: if you went into the Red Sox, he would be
Speaker 1: there closer. But I just assume that if he he
Speaker 1: goes to another team like you went back to Yankees.
Speaker 1: Let's say after he went to the Astros or another
Speaker 1: team like that, he wouldn't be their closer. So we're
Speaker 1: hoping Shane Green doesn't get traded for fantasy purposes. But
Speaker 1: keep in the back of your mind, if he is traded,
Speaker 1: it seems like Joe him and is the next man up. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: we have just a couple of minutes left before we
Speaker 1: have to sign off of the YouTube. Frank, any more
Speaker 1: highlights from yesterday. You want to make sure we hit
Speaker 1: I mean outside of Pete Alonzo, I put I put
Speaker 1: out a poll before the show about like what his
Speaker 1: upside can be future, just like if the season ended today,
Speaker 1: where was you draft him stay in the second round?
Speaker 1: So I think that speaks volumes to what he's doing
Speaker 1: as a rookie this year. He's on pace for like
Speaker 1: over fifty home runs. He's really he really is having
Speaker 1: an Aaron Judge esque season or the New York Mets.
Speaker 1: So shout out to Pete Alonso tweeting about Freddy Freeman
Speaker 1: last night. It seems like it's just flying under the radar.
Speaker 1: How good of a season he's having. I think he's
Speaker 1: had no one of, if not the best years in
Speaker 1: the of the second round draft picks so far this
Speaker 1: year in terms of hitters, he's been awesome. I wanted
Speaker 1: to get to the struggles of Paul Goldschmidt and matc Carpetster,
Speaker 1: but we could do that either tomorrow or Friday. Last
Speaker 1: thing that There's just two more quick things I wanted
Speaker 1: to mention. One was Elohimenez has just been on fire
Speaker 1: as of late in June three forty batting average, six
Speaker 1: home runs, fourteen rbs. Yeah, it's funny because in my
Speaker 1: you had j Will Studios called out the guy that
Speaker 1: had they kept Eloi last year after last year in
Speaker 1: playoff season, He's like, and now he's doing this and
Speaker 1: a month later, he's been incredible in that month of June,
Speaker 1: and you tweeted about it last night as well, Will Drink.
Speaker 1: But he also made a note of it here, and
Speaker 1: that's Michael Lorenzen. In this Reds bullpen back to back
Speaker 1: days he gets to save and this is usually the
Speaker 1: point part where I point out not to make anything
Speaker 1: of it, because Ricel Glacier has pitched the eighth and
Speaker 1: that was against too hard of the order. Lawrenz came
Speaker 1: in for the seven, eight, nine hitters in the order
Speaker 1: last night, but he's back to back days with the
Speaker 1: Glaziers in the eighth Lorenzi in the night. Now that
Speaker 1: matters for us in fantasy, because, yeah, they're using their
Speaker 1: best picture to face the best hitters, which has been
Speaker 1: in the eighth inning the last two days. But if
Speaker 1: Lorenzen is now in the mix for saves and you're
Speaker 1: gonna use Iglasia's Morning Josh hitter type of role, fantasy
Speaker 1: owners have to note that. Frank, Yeah, it's definitely worth noting.
Speaker 1: Pay attention to what's going on here with the Reds bullpen.
Speaker 1: You know, if you're playing a deeper league, I would
Speaker 1: add Michael Lorenzen. Now, if you own Rightily Glaciers, I
Speaker 1: would probably try to get Michael Lorenzen on my team
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know if I really buy into
Speaker 1: the whole middle of the order thing, like I guess
Speaker 1: in theory, he faced the middle of the lineup, but
Speaker 1: he came in for the last two outs of the
Speaker 1: eighth inning. That was against Yuli Gurriel, who has like
Speaker 1: he has a sub sevens, Like, are we really that
Speaker 1: worried about Julie Gariel? He faced Robinson Serenos. He did
Speaker 1: strike out both of those batters, and they allowed um
Speaker 1: an o Lex Bregman home run earlier on in the ending, Like,
Speaker 1: if they really wanted him to face the top of
Speaker 1: the lineup, why didn't rice Ley Glaciers to start the
Speaker 1: eighth inning and face Miles Straw, Alex Bregman, Michael Brandley,
Speaker 1: yard On Elvarez, I Mere Garrett came in, and then
Speaker 1: once they gave up another run with one out left
Speaker 1: in the eighth, they brought in Iglesias to face Julie
Speaker 1: Guriel and Robinson Chernos. And after the game, a Beat
Speaker 1: reporter spoke with David Bell and he said, yeah, we
Speaker 1: you know that was the game was on the line.
Speaker 1: We needed Ricelly Glaciers to face Julie Gurriel because we
Speaker 1: were that worried about him. I'm not sure that I
Speaker 1: necessarily buy it, because I'm like, Julie Guriel hasn't had
Speaker 1: that great of a season. But I guess in theory,
Speaker 1: you're right that it was the middle of the order.
Speaker 1: Although it's not like the normal astro's middle of the order,
Speaker 1: which hopefully will change soon as George Finger expected to
Speaker 1: going to rehab Assignmentail to day exactly is back today
Speaker 1: for the Houston astor Justin Berlin or on a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of home runs. Last night, by the way, that
Speaker 1: three homers and it's back to back starts. He allowed
Speaker 1: three home runs, was flying out he didnt. Justin Berlin
Speaker 1: is all the one you gonna do. I mean, he
Speaker 1: is someone that typically pitches more soda flyballs, but um
Speaker 1: in years past he's been able to get by because
Speaker 1: he hasn't been walking anybody. So if he's giving up
Speaker 1: solo shots, you can get away with that. But last
Speaker 1: night he did give up four earned runs, which was unfortunate.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried he's still again. He's in that same
Speaker 1: stratosphere as Blake's now and Jacob mcgraham, probably better than
Speaker 1: those two guys, to be honest, without we're gonna say
Speaker 1: goodbye on YouTube today. We apologize for all the technical difficulties,
Speaker 1: but we can't let you know that. Up next is
Speaker 1: Sean Gaston Nokia and at the window Shawn cover of
Speaker 1: the NBA Draft and take a look at some NFL
Speaker 1: stuff alongside of Chris Bensher as well. We appreciate time,
Speaker 1: and we'll see tomorrow here on YouTube. Frank, we got
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes left on the podcast, which means
Speaker 1: it's time for our best bets forever. I am two
Speaker 1: for three this week. You were over two with your bets.
Speaker 1: Let's turn that around. It's gonna winner today. I know
Speaker 1: Jordan's Dimmerman is on the noun and he's your boy.
Speaker 1: Are you going with him? I am not going with Jordan'simmerman,
Speaker 1: a huge underdog going up against the pirates. He's plus
Speaker 1: one seventies six. You know, I tried to change it
Speaker 1: up yesterday because I've been choosing a lot of sides
Speaker 1: recently in and I tried to go with a total
Speaker 1: last night, and the Indians were just bombing the Rangers
Speaker 1: around all night long, and I knew, yeah, this isn't
Speaker 1: gonna work out because it's like the fourth ending and
Speaker 1: they had like eight runs scored already, and it didn't. Overall,
Speaker 1: it didn't. So I like the under yesterday and the
Speaker 1: Rangers and Indians didn't come to fruition. I'm going with
Speaker 1: an underdog today as my best bet. I realized it's risky.
Speaker 1: I talk about the Tigers and Orioles and why it's
Speaker 1: risky taking bad teams to win games. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with the White Sox money line today plus one
Speaker 1: underdog Lucas gie Ledo going up against John Lester and
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs the Battle of Chicago. I'm taking Gee
Speaker 1: Leedo to outperform John Lester. Here's the difference between those two.
Speaker 1: Here's the difference of what you're alluding to and what
Speaker 1: you picked right, Because to me, Gee Leader and the
Speaker 1: White Sox are the obvious pick today, like incredibly obvious.
Speaker 1: John Lester has struggled, Lucas Gileto has been fantastic. Is
Speaker 1: this the sucker bet? Greg so? The White Sox aren't
Speaker 1: a bad team. That's where you were wrong. The White
Speaker 1: Sox are only one game under five hundred better than
Speaker 1: the Tigers are almost twenty games under five hundred. The
Speaker 1: Marlins are or twenty games under five hundred. Like, that's
Speaker 1: a totally totally different conversation than the Orioles and that's
Speaker 1: Tigers in the Marlins. The White Sox are a solid
Speaker 1: baseball team. Lucas Gilto is an ace. He has pitched
Speaker 1: better than John Lester. I know it's away, but the
Speaker 1: White Sox players something their own beds. I love the
Speaker 1: bet of Lucas Gilto tonight in Chicago to take on
Speaker 1: the Cubs. That's a no rinter, Frank. I think it's
Speaker 1: a fantastic, fantastic bet. Go for it, man, I will
Speaker 1: go for it made. I made the pick, and of
Speaker 1: course it's probably not gonna come true, but if you
Speaker 1: made it, it would be awesome. I can actually, like
Speaker 1: see the disappointment in your eyes. What are you talking about,
Speaker 1: like I pick, like feeling bad about your pick? Like
Speaker 1: just take the White. It's just it's like a culmination
Speaker 1: of things at this point, Greig. I'm sorry, Frank. It's
Speaker 1: not your fault. I almost feel obligated. It's nobody's faults.
Speaker 1: I almost feel obligated, giving my love for him, that
Speaker 1: I have to take Jimmy yacabonus like he's starting today
Speaker 1: for the Orils. I can't believe it. It's an opener role.
Speaker 1: It's plus two fifty, but it's Chris Bassett. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to do it. I'm not even saying that I
Speaker 1: like it. That's like your long long shot. No, no,
Speaker 1: it's not. I think you gotta take it. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not doing it. I really fix your guns.
Speaker 1: It's not my guns. Man. I don't like it, but
Speaker 1: I will take the over. In the Brewers and the Padres,
Speaker 1: it's strong versus Davies. It's eight and a half. It's
Speaker 1: not enough runs for match strama. Zach Davies give me
Speaker 1: the over. When it comes to the Brewers and the Padres,
Speaker 1: he just brings stamp. I am Gregg Sauceman. We apologize
Speaker 1: for all the technical difficulties we've had throughout the day.
Speaker 1: Thanks for everybody fixing those out the window. What was
Speaker 1: your way next? I have a great day. We joined
Speaker 1: by Dr A tomorrow. I have a great night and
Speaker 1: we'll see you then. Couldn't you catch the live show?
