I used to do a show 18 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: every single day. I used to bring on a lot 19 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: more guests, I used to have a lot more conversations 20 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: throughout the industry. I don't do that show anymore, but 21 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: I'm very happy to be able to talk with you here.

But 30 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: let me know if you have any questions, we will 31 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: be happy to answer them. What I wanted to start 32 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: off with here, but but just talk about a couple 33 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: of hot guys over the last few days, see if 34 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: you think they're viable pickups here for the final week 35 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: of the season. Estak Parades is the first one that 36 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: comes to mind. We talked about him, I think a 37 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: little bit last week. He's hit one home run. Since 38 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: he's returned, he's been hitting third in the lineup for 39 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: the Astros. If you need a little bit of a 40 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: boost right now, is he somebody that you think is 41 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: worth picking up, especially because Houston right now is in Sacramento. 42 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want the Sacramento boost, for sure, I 43 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: would jump on that With Estoc I think he's still 44 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: just trying to get like, you know, kind of knocked 45 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: the rest off from the long layoff. He does get 46 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: to go to Anaheim this weekend and has a phenomenal 47 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: schedule against Hendrix, Caden, Dana and Aldegary potentially, and the 48 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: Astros are fighting for that postseason life like right now. 49 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: They're out the playoffs as we speak, which is crazy 50 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: to think about because the Tigers have the sixth that 51 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: they have the wild card, while the Guardians now have 52 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: the Al Central. So the Astros are going to be 53 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: playing everybody they can, I think, till the end, which 54 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: gives Esoch and a really good schedule, a nice streaming viability. 55 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 1: Man, when we were talking a couple of weeks ago, 56 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,119 Speaker 1: it was the last show on twitch, and somebody said, 57 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: who do you think is going to come out of 58 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: the American League And I said, no, the Astros, and 59 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: I completely jinxed them. They've gone completely cold since then, 60 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: and it's been a really interesting couple weeks actually, Baba, 61 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 1: Like I thought every playoff spot was pretty secured as 62 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: of maybe September twelfth or thirteenth or something like that, 63 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: and then you had Cincinnati come back, you had Seattle 64 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: do their thing, Cleveland doing their thing. It's been a 65 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: lot more interesting than I really expect that to be 66 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: down the stretch here. 67 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, to your point, like a month ago, like you said, basically, 68 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: it seemed like everything was done, We're bored. The stinks. 69 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: Like we saw people posting on X that like everyone 70 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: should get in, like all these different scenarios for the postseason. 71 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: And now do you point like heading into the final 72 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: week of the year that almost every al division least 73 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 2: had something cooking, and like last night we broke down 74 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 2: the postseason, I'm blowing the bloom. And there's legit about 75 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: three or four teams in the National and American leagues 76 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 2: that could you know, be in or out by the 77 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: end of the week. So it's really good to see 78 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: at least we have something fun to look forward to 79 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: this week. 80 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I've seen it in the American League 81 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: with my Blue Jays, who looked like they had the 82 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: East kind of wrapped up, and now they've started struggling. 83 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: The Yankees are picking back up, the Red Sox are 84 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: still in it. There's a lot of excitement and I 85 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: really didn't think a few weeks ago there was going 86 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: to be anything. Everybody was like ninety percent plus in 87 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: terms of their playoff odds. But things have really really 88 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: shifted in the final couple weeks, which is kind of 89 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: what you want to see. You want there to be 90 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: excitement heading into the last week or so of the season. 91 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: Another guy who has been kind of hot. Now it'll 92 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: depend on the depth of your league whether or not 93 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: he is around, but Spencer Steer has been cooking with 94 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: gas recently. They are at home for the next couple 95 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: of days. Now they do have to face Paul Skins today, 96 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: Brax and Ashcraft tomorrow, and then he goes on the 97 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: road and gets Jay of Miserowski and Freddie Peralta this weekend. 98 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: So tough matchups a little bit. But any interest in 99 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: adding Spencer Steeer, Bob, But we're starting him potentially. Let's 100 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: say it's a league where he is rostered, but you're 101 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: debating putting him in the lineup. Is he worth it 102 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: for you here in these last few days. 103 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: I take my chances at home with tough like you said, 104 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: Schemes and Ashcraft. Now, the Milwaukee series is interesting because 105 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: they have the bye locked up, so how many innings 106 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 2: do they give Priester Miserowski Peralta to get ready for 107 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 2: the postseason. That's the big question. I think he runs 108 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: Steer out there for the next two days and then 109 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: maybe find a replacement for the weekend if possible. 110 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fine. Yeah, I think that does 111 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: make sense. He has I've got him in a couple 112 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: of leagues, and I think it was this week or 113 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: last week where he was like a day to day 114 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: designation heading into the week and you threw him into 115 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: the lineup. If you benched him, you missed out on 116 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: a lot of good production. But it's been a bit 117 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,119 Speaker 1: of an up and down year for Spencer Steer for sure. 118 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: We mentioned him last week. I wanted to bring him 119 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: up again. Austin Martin, you still think he is a 120 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: viable pickup if anybody is looking for a little bit 121 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: of helping batting average, maybe add a couple of steel 122 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: down the stretch. 123 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: Yep. We'll be talking to Austin Martin later in the 124 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 2: show as well. So I like him quite a bit. 125 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 2: The Texas matchups don't rate out right with the Gram 126 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: and Malli, but their bullpen's been kind of sketch. But 127 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: the Bueller Nola Sworez over the weekend especially at Philadelphia. 128 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: Doesn't want to go full boar with those pitchers. Votes 129 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: very well for Austin Martin, hitting second, still getting on 130 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: base a ton, and still another bag I believe Tuesday night. 131 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: So he's racking up the counting stats for you. He 132 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: might not have a ton of power, but he's helping 133 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: everywhere else, so I like him quite a bit. 134 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: Still, what do you think about har Roberto Hernandez Over 135 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, he has three home runs, 136 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: He's heading three thirty three. He's out of a steel 137 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: in there any interest in adding him here with a 138 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: couple games against Philly and then heading to the Mets. 139 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 2: I'm cool with it because he gets three left he's 140 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: in the last five games, which should lock him into 141 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: the lineup. He still plays verus right. He's don't get 142 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: me wrong, but he tends to like maybe split those 143 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: right handed starts because for now, quote unquote, the Marlins 144 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 2: are healthy. Dan Myers did leave on Tuesday, so I'll 145 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 2: have to see how that plays out. But Hernandez a 146 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: lot of pop okay badian average depends on what your 147 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: team needs, but it could be a nice little finish 148 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: to the season for him with the especially the Mets matchups, 149 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: because the Mets will be going for it, but they 150 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 2: haven't struggling in a lot, especially that bullpen. 151 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 1: The Mets pitching has completely gone away in the second 152 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: half of the year. I was talking about it on 153 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: Monday with Chris Towers. It was a lot of fun. 154 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: Chris Towers joined me if you guys have missed that one, 155 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: but just talking about how the Mets at different times 156 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: of the year have had different things cooking. They're pitching 157 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: early on with Holmes, with Peterson, with Tyler McGill, who 158 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: we have a not great update on. Later they were cooking, 159 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: and then the bats, like over I think it was 160 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: July and August were like the hottest hitting team in baseball, 161 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: but at the same time nothing was ever working all together. 162 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: It'll be really really dark stuff if they missed the 163 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: playoffs after what happened last year. Adding Soto, but that 164 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: one is probably the most interesting race for me. Cincinnati 165 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: and New York and Arizona there in the NL wild 166 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: Card has been a lot of fun to follow. One 167 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: last name here to bring up. It's Bo Naylor, somebody 168 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: who has fall short of expectations. It seems like forever 169 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: I've always loved the guy, being a Canadian homer myself. 170 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: But bow Naylor over the last two weeks, he's hitting 171 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: three seventy five, three home runs, fourteen ribis in the 172 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: last two weeks, and the Guardians are really cooking with gas. 173 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: He's playing more than he had been. I'm kind of 174 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: interested in bow Naylor. I guess the question is who 175 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: your current catcher is, But you think he's a viable 176 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: pick up here for the final few days. 177 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: Most definitely, the Guardians are going for it, so they're 178 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: starting their guys at as they should be, so he 179 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: should play three or four of their last five games. 180 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: Pretty darn good matchups against Detroit and Texas. I absolutely 181 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: love this Naylor call. I talked about him on a 182 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: couple of recent FAB shows. It's like, where's this guy 183 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: been when I was pumping him up every preseason for 184 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: the last two years. This is what we're seeing in September. 185 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: Is I think the skill set and then I sit 186 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: back and I go, wait a minute. He is only 187 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: twenty five years old, so like there still might be 188 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: a level where he becomes like a catcher two next 189 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: year or something. So your original point, yes, go ahead 190 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: and add him. There are a lot of catching options 191 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: this week you could add, but definitely a strong one 192 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: this week. 193 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: I really like him, and I know I'm biased. I've 194 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: always liked his brother, but like there are certain things 195 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: that are kind of encouraging in the data. Still fourteen 196 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: home runs, he gets on base at a decent clip, 197 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: considering he hits under two hundred with his eleven percent 198 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: walk rate. Just hasn't really been able to put it 199 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: all together offensively, pretty solid on the defensive side of 200 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: the ball. But I'm really hoping next year is the 201 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: year where Bo Naylor can start to resemble his brother 202 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more.

Thanks guys, 219 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: love the podcast, and Jpack as well in my championship. 220 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: Can't say thank you enough to Joe and Bubba and 221 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: also Joey p and Welsh whatever with those guys. I 222 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: appreciate it. I really do appreciate it. We're just messing around. 223 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: Joe and Welsher are our guys here, so we're just 224 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: having a little bit of fun. What about this grim guy? 225 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: Do we believe in him? I think you're probably talking 226 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: about Krim for the Rockies, Blaine Krim. I believe we 227 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: may mentioned him last weekend and we said that he 228 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: was maybe a decent pickup for the weekend slate. He 229 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: did hit a home run, drove in a couple runs. 230 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: The problem here is that there are a lot of 231 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: holes in his game, a ton of swing and miss. 232 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: They're in Seattle right now, and then they head to 233 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: San Francisco. It's not really the two ballparks you want 234 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: to be headed into, especially because you see Colorado. He's 235 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: a Rockies bat, but he's not going to benefit from 236 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: any core's goodness the rest of the way. So I 237 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: think I don't want to speak for you, Bubba, but 238 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: Krim is probably somebody we can leave alone for the 239 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: rest of the year. 240 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, one might say it is grim the outlook for 241 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: the rest of his season, so yes, uh yeah, I 242 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 2: would move on from that, like maybe he runs into 243 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: a homer, but there's a lot of potential downfall with 244 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: what he's got coming up. 245 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, j Pack, you're good. You're good. Sometimes we don't 246 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: even know our own names around these parts, so you 247 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: are totally good for not recognizing Blaine Krim not exactly 248 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: a household name, So you are you are definitely forgiven there, 249 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: my friend. I do want to talk about it and 250 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: keep keep throwing your questions in there. Guys, We'll keep 251 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: coming back to them throughout the show. Here, I want 252 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: to talk about a couple of potential pitching streamers. Now 253 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: this time of year, everything is chaos, everything is nuts. 254 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: You know, you never really know who's starting on a 255 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: given day. But I just put a couple of guys 256 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: in the show sheet here that I think are pretty 257 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: viable ads slash streams for the next couple of days, 258 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: today Wednesday. You know this is more for the live crowd. 259 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: If you're listening back, I apologize, but we'll start with Wednesday. 260 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: Stephen Colech against the Angels, Ryan Weathers against Philly, Jonah 261 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: Toong against the Cubs, and Taj Bradley against the Rangers. 262 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: For me, Coleck and Tong are probably my favorites here. 263 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: Coolak has been cooking and Jonah Tong had that one 264 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: really rough start but did bounce back pretty well. What 265 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on this group of streamers are potential 266 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: streamers we have for today? Bubba? 267 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: I agree Kolak. It's really impressive what he has put 268 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: together since rejoining the Royals rotation. He's made four starts, 269 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: all quality starts to and runs are less than all 270 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 2: of them. Not a big strikeout guy, but did punch 271 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: out eight mariners over seven or a third in his 272 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 2: last start, and he gets to take on a wonderful, 273 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: wonderful Halo's team that strikes out thirty two zero point 274 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: two percent of the time vers Riety's over the past 275 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: month thirty two point two percent of the time, a 276 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: third of they're at bats vers right handed pitchers. That 277 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 2: is horrific. 278 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: Uh. 279 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 2: So I love Kolik and this one, so'll prepare for 280 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 2: the downfall. I apologize now and then the rest of them. 281 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 2: It's tough, Like I really want to go with Ryan Weathers. 282 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: The Phillies have been missing some players like leave it 283 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: like Harper's battle and injuries. Don't know how deep Weathers 284 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: is going to go when that game, So I'm gonna 285 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: go with Weathers. I don't disagree with your tom to take, 286 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: but Colek is the clear one in this group. 287 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Colek has been phenomenal, and you're riding the hot 288 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: hand there for me with Tong. And you know, there's 289 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: been a couple of pitchers like this who have had 290 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: kind of one real stinker that blows up their line 291 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: Kaye Cavali, Bubba Chandler Tong as well. I think I'm 292 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: forgetting one other young guy. And you look at the 293 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: overall stats and you're like Okay Jonah Tong for the year, 294 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: it's a five ninety four and a one forty four whip, 295 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: but all of that damage really just came in that 296 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: one horrific start, so you know at that age you 297 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: are going to have some ups and downs. The fact 298 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: that he's facing the Cubs does give me a little 299 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: bit of encouragement. It definitely wouldn't have earlier in the year, 300 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: but the Cubs are kind of whatever at this point 301 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: that they're not really a team that scares me off. 302 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: So I think there are a couple of viable options 303 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: for today looking ahead to tomorrow, Michael Lorenzen again targeting 304 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: those Angels because they're not good, as Bubba alluded to, 305 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: Taiwan Walker against Miami, Braxton Ashcraft against Cincinnati, and Tyler 306 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: Maley coming off a pretty decent return, he gets Minnesota. 307 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: Anybody in this group interesting you for streaming purposes, Bubba. 308 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 2: Love the Lorenzen call, like you said, for the same 309 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: things we just talked about. And Mallie's very interesting four 310 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 2: and two thirds nowhere in six k's against the Marlins 311 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: in his return from the IL now gets a pretty 312 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: friendly matchup versus Minnesota. So I'm looking at Lorenzen and 313 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: Malli right now. The thing with Miami, it's very interesting. 314 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: They're not striking out a lot, so Walker's gonna to 315 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: deal with a lot of balls and play in that 316 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: ball park. So I'm going with Lorenzen and Mally in 317 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: that crew. 318 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, Tylan Walker is you know this time of year. 319 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: If you stream him in you know, May or June, 320 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: and there's a decent matchup. Okay, if it hurts you, 321 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: it hurts you. If you stream him right now and 322 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: he kills you and you lose your title and lose 323 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of money because of Taiwan Walker, You're gonna 324 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: hate yourself. I'm telling you right now, You're gonna hate 325 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: yourself if that is the case. So yeah, play it, 326 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: play a little bit safe. But there's a couple options 327 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: for you. I think Lorenz's probably my favorite. Ashcraft came 328 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: in as a follower to Baba Chandler, but he's getting 329 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: the actual start here. So let's just hope for five 330 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: innings against the fairly poor Cincinnati team and Bali as well. 331 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: I think there are actually some pretty decent options. Tomorrow 332 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: Friday is where it could potentially get a little bit thin. Now, 333 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: we got Kastanza, Jason Alexander again targeting the Angels. He's 334 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: coming off of a true stinker on Sunday Brandon Sproute 335 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: against Miami. He's also coming off of not a great one. 336 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: And then Kate Cavali, who I mentioned earlier, has been 337 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: really good outside of just one kind of poor start. 338 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this group, Bubba. 339 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: It's a really good group. Like I know, I'm insane 340 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: for trying to go back to Alexander, but I'm gonna 341 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: keep picking on the matchups at this point of the year, 342 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: so that seems pretty nice to me. And then I 343 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: don't mind the sprot call or the Kavali call. I 344 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: think they're both. The Cavali great matchup versus Weisex sprote 345 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 2: versus Miami Sprots looks pretty good. If I had to 346 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: pick just one, I'm probably going Cavali in this group, 347 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: but I like all three. 348 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: If you need it, I do too. I think Kavali 349 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: is probably my favorite, But I'm with you with Costanza. 350 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: I wrote him up in an article on Sunday, even 351 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: after getting blown up. You wrote him up as a streamer, 352 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: even in that he had been really good. I don't 353 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: want to hold one bad start against a really hot 354 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: team against him. I think that he is still pretty viable. 355 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: Let's look ahead to the weekend and this is where 356 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: it gets dicey. 357 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 2: Guys. 358 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: Just remember before you put anybody in your lineup. We're 359 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: talking specifically for daily league players here. Weekly lineups are 360 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: said for the year. Just be one hundred percent sure. 361 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: Things are moving around constantly. I thought Jacob Bigrahm was 362 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: a two star pitcher this week, and then it was 363 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: reported starting Thursday, and then it's reported he's going Wednesday. 364 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: So you just never really know, so just be one 365 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: hundred percent sure. But with that being said, Saturday, Kyle 366 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: Harrison against the Tigers, Javier Assad against Saint Louis, Joey 367 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: Cantillo against Texas. Buy but what are your thoughts on 368 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: this group? 369 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: I love Canti you. I've always been a Cantello guy. 370 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: He looks real sharp of late. You'd imagine the Guardians 371 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 2: have to go for it. Texas is thrown in the 372 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: towel like Langford's out. They already said, see your and 373 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 2: Simon aren't coming back. That team's a shell of itself. 374 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: I love cantill you in this matchup, Harrison maybe, but 375 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: never assad It is a facade, as my co host 376 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: would say, So give me Joey Cantillo. I love that 377 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 2: one against Texas on Saturday. 378 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know. I put him on the 379 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: sheet just because of the matchup for a side, and 380 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to discuss it. But the numbers are pretty rough. 381 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look back at the past couple 382 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: of seasons, he's been very serviceable, but the strikeouts are 383 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: just gone, yep. And they weren't in a place where 384 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: you could really afford to lose seven points. He was 385 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: a twenty percent, eighteen percent, nineteen percent down to twelve percent. 386 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: So as much as I think that there is a 387 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: chance things go well, this is probably more of a 388 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: desperation play. You just need the volume on the weekend 389 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: and you got no other options. I think that's that's 390 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: probably where he sits. Sunday. Here's a couple of final 391 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: options for the weekend. Jamison Tayonne against Saint Louis, Shane 392 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: Smith against the Nationals, and Justin Verlander coming off a 393 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: pretty rough one himself, but he gets Colorado. Bobba, what 394 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: do you think. 395 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: If Verlander makes the start? I want that one big time. 396 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: It was a bad start on Monday. He's been so 397 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: good of late, and the road Rockies are almost as 398 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: bad as the Angels right now, So I'm going Verlander 399 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: in that one. All three aren't bad, to be honest, 400 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: but give me Justin Verlander. 401 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'll go Verlander as well. You know, 402 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: this has been an interesting few weeks to say the least, 403 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: and once again, my apologies to the guy I told 404 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: not to pick him up a while back, although I 405 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 1: guess maybe it saved you this week. But overall, Justin 406 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: Verlander has been a lot better, a lot better. And 407 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: what do you think? I asked Towers about this and 408 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: he thought he's not too interested for next year. But 409 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: with Verlander is saying that he's going to stick around 410 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: the fact that he's ended pretty well here, will you 411 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: have any interest in drafts for next season, like a 412 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: late round or potentially like your last pick kind of thing. 413 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 2: If he's free like he was this year, preferably in 414 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 2: a fifteen the twelve team. He's strictly a streamed for me, 415 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: because he's gonna have a lot if you don't want 416 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 2: him out there moments, but fifteen's he's gonna have a 417 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: lot of legs. And I actually had him. I drafted 418 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 2: him a few fifteens to start the year. I dropped 419 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 2: him when things are horrific, but I could see where 420 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 2: this has a path to success for a fifteen team week. 421 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: Yes, even at his age, it's kind of crazy. I 422 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: think he's going to be forty three or he's already 423 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: forty three. It's wild to see what he's been able 424 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: to do here. Him and Kershaw just having these really 425 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: nice runs at this stage of their career has been 426 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: kind of nice to see.

Joe g Friend of the show coming in 456 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: Lorenzen over Powich tomorrow. Yes, yes, absolutely, I've just never 457 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: been impressed really by Kate Povich to this point, and 458 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: there's been a couple of decent starts, but overall he's 459 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: been very disappointing. 460 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: Bubba, I'm a Povich fan. Is just annoying because he 461 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 2: gets you tons of strikeouts, but he will blow your 462 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 2: ratios up like half the time. So there's really no 463 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 2: consistency in that regard. I could I see the path 464 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 2: where he could be good someday. He just never finds it. 465 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: So that's where the frustration is. But you know, in 466 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: a head to head league, you proably don't want to 467 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: use them if you're in like a roto and you're like, hey, 468 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 2: I need strikeouts right now. I don't care about my ratios. 469 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: I like Povich, but in this question, give me a 470 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 2: Lorenzen all day. 471 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm with you there. Playoff predictions, well, 472 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: my last playoff prediction did not go terribly well. I 473 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: cursed the Houston Astros. At this point, everything is completely 474 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: up in the air for the wildcard spots those ones. 475 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: I have no real predictions about the wildcard. Anything could 476 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: happen over the next few days. I think Seattle and 477 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: Milwaukee at this point is who I would probably pick 478 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: to meet up in the World Series. They're both really 479 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: really deep, strong teams. Seattle's World Series chances on Fangrafts 480 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: are over twenty percent. They're by far the highest team. 481 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: I think I'm going that way and i think I'm 482 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: going to Brewers in the n ALBABA. 483 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Seattle and Milwaukee's been my pick for a couple 484 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: of weeks. Now I'm gonna stick with that. The only if. 485 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 2: If it's not Milwaukee, I think it's Philadelphia because they're 486 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: starting notations filthy like that they could do some damage. 487 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: Milwaukee's taking a hit in that rotation, looking losing Woodriff, 488 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 2: which concerns me, But I'm gonna stick with it. Jayson 489 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: Milwaukee for now. More importantly, I would just frustrate all 490 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 2: the TV people, So I'm pretty happy about that. 491 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, they do not want those small market teams. I 492 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: know they don't want Toronto anywhere near that they have. 493 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, Toronto has good markets, but they never give 494 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: Toronto any Sunday Night Baseball or any primetime stuff. I 495 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: think that the league might panic a little bit if 496 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: they had to go north of the border for World's coverage. 497 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: They haven't had to do that in quite a while. 498 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: It's been a while. 499 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: It's been a while. I've never actually seen it myself. 500 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: Tyler Wells today, that is, I believe, Tampa Bay. I 501 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: think I'm going for it. 502 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, keep playing Tyler Wells. He's been awesome. There's no 503 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: reason not too. 504 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm there with you. Thanks has always, fella, has 505 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: been a great season. Appreciate you, go Sport seeing you 506 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: in the chat a bunch. At what point in the 507 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: draft you take Chase Burns next year? So in a 508 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: very early draft that took place six weeks ago at 509 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: this point, Bubba, something like that, Chase Burns went in 510 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: the eighth round. Now, it hasn't been the greatest few 511 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: weeks for Chase Burns overall, going to the bullpen and whatnot, 512 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: and his season line as a whole. He's got a 513 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: five ERA, he's got a one forty whip, but the 514 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: upside there with the strikeouts, with the I think pretty 515 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: solid command already. He could be an ACE as soon 516 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: as next season. Where you're having to draft him is 517 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: probably I would say a borderline top one hundred pick, 518 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: somewhere in the ninety to one ten range in most rooms, Bubba, 519 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: that's not about right. 520 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. That's fair, eighth round and of fifteen. 521 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: So people love the upside to your play. He's kind 522 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 2: of like to do Hunter Green for them, Like where 523 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: do you speculate, you know around the Hunter pick Mark 524 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: giver take seems seems accurate for now. 525 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think things will We'll move around, and he's 526 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: definitely we talked about helium guys in spring training. Chase 527 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: Burns is a prime example of a dude who he 528 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: throws a few hundred and one mile an hour pitches 529 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: in March and then he strikes out nine dudes in 530 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: a spring training game. That's the type of price that 531 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: will just skyrocket. So I think he's the type of 532 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: guy you get in early drafts if you really want 533 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: to get some shares of Chase Burns. What do you 534 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: think about Kim and Atlanta been doing well? Will he 535 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: keep it up? I think he'll keep it up probably 536 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: the rest of the way this season. I don't know 537 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: out next year yet. I think I'll probably be interested 538 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: depending on the price. But Kim, We've talked about him 539 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: a bunch on this show. Bubba's talked about him a ton. 540 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: He's definitely worth picking up if you're still seeing him 541 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: out there. 542 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about him actually last night, but went 543 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: to bloom for something that because he's widely available in 544 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 2: fab recently and he's got a ten game hitting streak 545 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 2: going right now, couple home runs. He's not running much 546 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 2: this year, but maybe that's injury. Base Dude's always got 547 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 2: a good hit, tool, of decent power, tons of speed. 548 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 2: When he's running, he's going to be in the middle 549 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 2: of that Brazer order. I love him for the rest 550 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 2: of this season. And the question we had lot yesterday 551 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: or maybe he was on bench with Bubble with Ben, 552 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: was where does he go in that like pocket of 553 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: short stops he feels because he projects like with him 554 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 2: Andez and stop, But to me, he's better than them. 555 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: So it's a very interesting that's a whole another twenty 556 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: twenty six discussion. But to their question, sorry, off the rails, 557 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 2: It's what I'm good at. Yes, keep playing him the 558 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: rest of the season. 559 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: I can promise you he's better than him. Andez Jimenez 560 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: is an atrocious hitter. He's a great defender, no question great, 561 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: one of the best defensive second basement, maybe the best 562 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: defensive second basement. He could not hit a whiffle ball 563 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: with a canoe paddle. The guy is awful at the plate. 564 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: I think we're okay for chat right now, so let's 565 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: keep it going here on the outline and talk about 566 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: a quick quick mention and some bagpipes in the chat 567 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: For Alec Manoa. I was very surprised by this move. 568 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: The Blue Jays release essentially released Alec Manoa yesterday. They 569 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: designated him for assignment. Somebody will probably take a shot 570 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: on him. I would imagine at this point he already 571 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: has a cy Young finish in his career. He finished 572 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: third and cy Young voting in twenty twenty two, dealt 573 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: with a ton of injuries, went under the knife. He 574 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: hasn't had the command since he's come back. This I 575 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: tweeted it yesterday, but it feels fairly shortsighted for them 576 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: to have done this, giving up on Alec Manoa at 577 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: age twenty seven. But any initial thoughts that you had 578 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: seen this, was it a surprising move to you? Or 579 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: am I perhaps being a little biased here? No? 580 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 2: I was surprised because he's still so young, he's had 581 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 2: the injuries. I thought his rehab was going okay, Like 582 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: we're seeing some good outings and whatnot, like maybe he's 583 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 2: never that ace again, But Hey, from a Giants guy 584 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: over here that has a horrible rotation, I'd take a 585 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 2: shot out hunt to be like our fourth in a 586 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 2: rotation all day long in that ballpark. So I think 587 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 2: it's too early to give up on the guy unless 588 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: there's more injury information under the hood that we're not 589 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 2: being told about. 590 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: There was something about Hey refused an assignment a couple 591 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: of years ago triple A that ruffled some feathers and 592 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: people weren't too happy about it. But the thing that 593 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: shocks me in this situation that the Blue Jays are 594 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 1: not set up very well from a pitching standpoint going forward. 595 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: Chris Bassett thirty seven years old or about to be 596 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: thirty seven years old on the il about in Francis 597 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: was not what we were hoping. He was gonna be Barrios, 598 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: Ditto Kevin Gosman. He's gonna be thirty five, Max Scherzer's 599 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: forty one. Bieber could leave in free agent, Like this 600 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: is not a team that has a deep rotation, especially 601 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: looking at it to next year. I'm very surprised by this, 602 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: Fenway saying Alec Manoa twenty twenty six Marlins redemption arc. 603 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: He'll go somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if Antoppolis takes 604 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: a chance on him, if the Dodgers take a chance 605 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: on him, if really any team took a chance on 606 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: him and he ended up having a halfway decent career. 607 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: Is he ever gonna win a cy Young I very 608 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: much doubt that, but he's shown that upside in his 609 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: first year in the big So it feels like the 610 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: Blue Jays give up a little bit early here on 611 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: mister Alec Manoa Joe asking about Walker Buehler tomorrow over 612 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: Lorenz and I can't do it. I personally can't do it. 613 00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: I don't trust him. But what do you think. 614 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: I never Bueler. I'll take the Lorenzen matchup all day 615 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 2: long and twice on Sunday. I know I actually respect them. 616 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 2: Harlan's right now, that's the crazy thing. So I'm not 617 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 2: going with the locky Buehler thing. Not right now. 618 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: Well, I mean post surgery, post sticky stuff. I don't 619 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: know that he's ever going to get back to what 620 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: we saw before. Certainly I don't think we'll ever see 621 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: him at those previous levels. Maybe he can have again, 622 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: same thing with maybe Minoa. He can have a halfway 623 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: decent career, maybe, but he's never hitting those previous peaks. 624 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: Let's do a little three up and three down Michael Harris. 625 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: The second two home runs yesterday, following up a game 626 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: where he had three steals on Monday. This is maybe 627 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: the most up and down player I can think of. 628 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: There are times when he looks like prime Barry Bonds. 629 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: There are primes where he can't hit the Mendo's aligned. 630 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: But but I don't really know what to make of him. 631 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: I think in drafts I'll probably just be out because 632 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: people will sell themselves on the hype in the upside 633 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: when in reality the performance hasn't been there in a 634 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: couple of years. But it's hard not to be interested 635 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: with what you see him doing down the stretch here. 636 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, he keeps bringing fantasy managers back into the mix. 637 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 2: I just stay away, but I can at least admit 638 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: that the skills are really good, and he shows him 639 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 2: from time to time. The price has to be right. 640 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 2: He's been going too high in drafts in recent years. 641 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: Now. 642 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: If he falls to the round of one hundred, one 643 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty, range. Now we can talk, but I 644 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: don't know the skills are there. It's just very, very frustrating. 645 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: To your point, one homer and one steal off of 646 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: a twenty twenty season. If somebody looked back in seven 647 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: years and said, oh, Michael Harris twenty twenty five, yeah, 648 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: he had a twenty twenty season, you would never know 649 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: how frustrating this guy was to roster. I'm thankfully a 650 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: lot of my shares were Gladiator teams, so I didn't 651 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: really have to worry about it, and I've seen those 652 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: teams kind of tick up in the standings in the 653 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: second half. But my goodness, my goodness, it has been 654 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: a rough year for him. I'm glad he's picked it 655 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: up now, but I just don't really want anything to 656 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: do with him next year, unless to your point, if 657 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: he's outside of the top of one hundred hundred and fifty. Sure, 658 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: I just don't see a lot of people letting him 659 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: fall that far. Just with the upside and whatever. A 660 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: couple of pitchers here on the ups as well. Gavin Williams, 661 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: continuing his crazy run to earn runs, truck out twelve 662 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: Tigers yesterday and in the second half he has been 663 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: a monster. Tower said he didn't trust it on Monday. 664 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: I don't really trust it. What do you think, Bubba. 665 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 2: I've always been a Gavin Williams fan. It's been as 666 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 2: inconsistency with his command. He'll have those nasty walk games, 667 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 2: but that has improved in the second half to your point, 668 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: and it just keeps going back to like these young pitchers. 669 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 2: There's guys making changes this, that and the other, and 670 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 2: I don't know if you can trust like people can't 671 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: trust it. But it's been about a couple months at 672 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 2: least where we're seeing this good pitching. He's got to 673 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,479 Speaker 2: roll with it, and I'll probably be in again next year. 674 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 2: I was very interested coming into this year because I 675 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 2: think there is a very solid skill set there just 676 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: hasn't fully tapped into it. But we might be seeing 677 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 2: part of it right now. 678 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: We might be. I hope we are. I just hope 679 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: that price doesn't skyrocket. I'm intrigued. I don't want to 680 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: pay a price that would be, you know, looking like 681 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: it would be if he had put on the second 682 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: half numbers the whole season. I hope that people temper 683 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: their expectations a little bit, just for my own team's 684 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: sake next year and the last one Cole Reagan's five 685 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: innings tour and runs and struck out ten. Cole Reagans, 686 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: I know the numbers on the. 687 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: Sturdy Who face Joe? Who did he face? Ah? 688 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: Bobo whate whine. You gotta do this to me, Bubba, 689 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: what You're not wrong? In a full circle, You're not wrong. 690 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: You're definitely not wrong. But I would counter that with 691 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: his strikeout rate for the year is thirty seven percent, 692 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: and you know it's coming fifty seven innings. But I 693 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: feel like Reagan's if he enters the year with a 694 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: clean bill of health, I am gonna be really interested 695 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: in him, and I feel like I'll take those early drafts. 696 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: You know, if there is any discount on him, the 697 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: surface numbers may keep people away, but we're looking at 698 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: a thirty percent strike up minus walk rate, a two 699 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: sixty nine FIP. Like the stuff is still good, the 700 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: fastball velo is still good. He he looks like Cole 701 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: Reagan's who has just had a little bit of an 702 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: unfortunate year with injuries. Bubbo and in a very high 703 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: babbitt I'm buying all the way back in in twenty 704 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: twenty six. 705 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: Do you agree, Oh, yeah, no, I'm in that. Like 706 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 2: to me, it's I guess, risk rewards. Some people don't 707 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 2: have the risk reward when it comes to their pitching, 708 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 2: and I get it. But if you can stomach like 709 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: a Tyler Glass now or a Blake Snell, you should 710 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 2: be able to stomach a Cole Reagan's because, yeah, there 711 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 2: might be some risk there, but even if he gives 712 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: you one hundred to one hundred and twenty innings, this 713 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 2: gonna be some elite production and we've seen him go 714 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 2: much deeper than that before. The fact he's making starts 715 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 2: to finish the season gives me confidence in his health. 716 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 2: And I'm with you on this one. 717 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, Justin and Paul and I were talking about it, 718 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: and I think it was Justin who said, like that 719 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty six inning season is starting to 720 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: look like the outlier a little bit. And we'll see 721 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: if he has another injury filled year next year, That's 722 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: when I would probably be a little bit worried. But 723 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: right now I'm still very much interested in Cole Reagan's 724 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: On the downs, David Peterson, he's completely fallen apart in 725 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: the second half, given it all back just an inning 726 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: and a third, allot five earned runs on five hits 727 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: and two walks. Hey Haineo Suarez with a golden sombrero 728 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: and Kevin Gosman four and runs on nine hits over 729 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: five and two thirds yesterday. Not a great day for him. 730 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: They also got completely hosed by The's not Gosman in particular, 731 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: just the Blue Jays getting absolutely hosed. That maybe got 732 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: into his heat a little bit. Who knows. I don't 733 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,719 Speaker 1: want to derail the show. I could talk at nauseum. 734 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 2: About sounds like, sounds like you have interest in this one. 735 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: Joe, Oh my god, yesterday? Did you see what happened? 736 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: Do you see the Springer plays yesterday? 737 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, I was. I think I was recording one 738 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: of my shows and that a bat was on in spring. 739 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 2: First the foul ball that wasn't a foul ball thing, 740 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 2: and then the strike three where he I'm surprised he 741 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 2: didn't get tossed. He did enough and kept it together. 742 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 2: I was shocked. I thought he was gonna he had 743 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 2: all the right oh to turn her out and basically 744 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: tell him where stuff should fly, basically, Yeah, but he 745 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 2: did not. 746 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: John Schneider got out there quickly. It was early in 747 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: the game, you're still fighting for positioning. That was about 748 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: as heated as I've seen George in the yes four 749 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: or so years he's been in Toronto. He's usually pretty composed. 750 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: He's usually a pretty happy, go lucky guy. Not yesterday 751 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: he was. He was pretty pissed, and I don't blame him. 752 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: Almost like about a couple of injuries. Speaking of pissed, 753 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: Wyatt Langford or another side issue had to leave early yesterday. 754 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: I think this I've lost track of the oblique slash 755 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: side issues this year. I want to say it's five 756 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: times this has popped up, going back to the preseason. 757 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how much I want to take him 758 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: next year. I love the skill set, I love the talent, 759 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: but these side issues are really starting to worry me. 760 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still interested. It is very concerning, and it 761 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 2: feels like the last couple they rushed him back. That's 762 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 2: what I'm more like, what are we doing here? I 763 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 2: feel like he was He's never really been healthy, even 764 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: this one right here. He sat out the weekend and 765 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: he comes back for an inning. It's like, Okay, he 766 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 2: probably wasn't ready. Guys, Like, what are we doing here. 767 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 2: So there there's a few situations like that, but yeah, 768 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 2: he's had too many of them. You're not wrong in 769 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 2: that regard, so I can see the trepidation come draft day. 770 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 2: I'm still interested because the skill set's so dark good 771 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 2: like he still went twenty twenty on a banged up 772 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: season with a. 773 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: Fourteen percent barrel, forty eight hardhead, thirteen percent walk. Great 774 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: he is. He is going to be a great player 775 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: as long as he can avoid the injury bug. One 776 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four games. I mean, it's not like 777 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: it's cost him a ton of the season, but when 778 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: he's been on the field, there have been time or 779 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: he's really looking like he's playing hampered, and I think 780 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: that is what has cost him a little bit. Here 781 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: Kate Horden left early after his back tightened up yesterday. 782 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: It looked like he was going to be in line 783 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: for the win. Had to leave after three. Not good 784 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: if you started him for his final start of the year. 785 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: And we've talked about already how he's probably seventy you're 786 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: going to want to avoid next year. That price is 787 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: probably going to be a little too high based on 788 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: the surface numbers. Here's an interesting one. I didn't expect 789 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: Roki Sazaki will be activated and pitched out of the 790 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: bullpen for the Dodgers. There's no fantasy move here obviously, 791 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: pitching out of the pen, but just an interesting reinforcement 792 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: for them to have into the playoffs. Anthony santon Dare 793 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: was activated by the Blue Jays. That was the reason 794 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: why Alec Manoah was sent away. Ty Franz also went 795 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: on the al yesterday, but Anthony santan Dare backed buy. 796 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: But if you're in a daily league, you know, let's 797 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: say you need an outfielder potentially need a little bit 798 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: of pop, would you be picking him up and starting 799 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: him right now? 800 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're interested in pop, they should play him 801 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 2: every day to get at bats for the postseason. Yeah, 802 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: to get ready. So yeah, I'm on board with that. 803 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 2: The Jays have a pretty friendly matchups this weekend with Howser, 804 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 2: Boil and Seymour, and Seymour is actually going to be 805 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: moving to the bullpen, so who knows who's pitching Sunday 806 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 2: for Tampa Bay. 807 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: I didn't see that, really, why are they doing that? 808 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: He's been so good? 809 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 2: I don't know. I was doing my news and notes 810 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 2: last night for the patreoon and like, let me find 811 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: the actual tweet real quick for you. But that's yeah. 812 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 2: They announced yesterday Ian Seymour will pitch out of the 813 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 2: bullpenned and it's available tonight. That was yesterday. Kevin Cash 814 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 2: ed he likely, he's like, okay, so he might make 815 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 2: one more start. He said, he's likely to make one 816 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 2: more start, so he could pitch Sunday. But he's supposed 817 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 2: to two step this week and now they're pushing him back, 818 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 2: so who knows even he makes that start. 819 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Rays are so weird, such a weird team. Well, 820 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: they are going to be who they are going to be. 821 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: Brian Wu had his start skipped but apparently won't go 822 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: on the IL. I have no confidence that he's going 823 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: to start another game this regular season. Maybe in the postseason, 824 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: but in the regular season, I don't think so. 825 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, they said they're going to throw a bullpen 826 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: on Thursday instead of a start, which means, hey, let's 827 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,280 Speaker 2: get him healthy for the second round of the playoffs 828 00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 2: since we have a buye. 829 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I think as well. And then Tyler 830 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: McGill unfortunately underwent Tommy John surgery. I've always liked Tyler McGill. 831 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: The first podcast I ever did was with Ryan Bloomfield, 832 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: and I remember we talked about Tyler McGill, well, the 833 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: first name we talked about on the sheet. It's one 834 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: of those weird things that stands out. Just a nice 835 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: memory for me with Ryan and Tyler McGill. But Tyler 836 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: McGill unfortunately not gonna be around the rest of this year, 837 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: and you won't see him on the mound next year 838 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: at this point either. And that will take us to 839 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: our final best bets of the day segment of the year. 840 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be any bets on Friday. 841 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but Bubba, for your last three 842 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: bets on leading off of the year, what do you got, 843 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:35,839 Speaker 1: my friend? 844 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 2: I was baffled to see the number plus one ninety 845 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 2: for Pete Alonzo over three hits, runs and RBIs as 846 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 2: he's just been mashing everything. Now the wind can be 847 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 2: blowing in and Wrigley. I see how there could be 848 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 2: issues with this scenario, But you got Matthew Boyd on 849 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 2: the bump, who's broken, he's exhausted, he's done. It's give 850 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 2: me Pete Alonso. In this one, I mentioned we'll be 851 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 2: going back to the Austin Martinwell over two hits runs 852 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 2: in RBIs at plus one twenty five them in because 853 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 2: he's getting on base a ton, he's scoring runs, stealing bags. 854 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: I know it's de Grom, but de Grom's not look 855 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 2: the same of late plus. You get a banged up 856 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 2: Rangers bullpen in that matchup, and then we're going with 857 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 2: a pitching prop. We're going with Blake Snell over six 858 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 2: and a half strikeouts A plus one twenty takes on 859 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks team striking out about twenty two percent of 860 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 2: the time Verus lefties over the past month. Snell's coming 861 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 2: off back to back double digit strikeout performances. If Snell 862 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 2: doesn't walk guys, I don't see why he doesn't get 863 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 2: seven plus k's in this matchup. So give me a 864 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 2: plus money at plus one twenty. I didn't put Colec 865 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 2: on the list, but you might as well throw that 866 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 2: just for fun, because you know the Angels stink. 867 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 1: The Angels do very much stink on that Blake Snell number. 868 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: I like it the Dodgers rotation right now, especially with 869 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: show hey cooking Lois he is. This is maybe we 870 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: should have picked them in the nationally they're looking very good. 871 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: I agree on that, Blake Snell one in particular, and 872 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: I also agree with with Austin Martin. There, I'll start 873 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: with mine. I'll start with de Gram here. It's at 874 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: the bottom of the page. But you know, I have 875 00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: been the biggest de Gram fan, and I'm taking the 876 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: over here because I just don't think that he has 877 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: looked fully right recently. Over one and a half earned 878 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: runs minus one oh nine, he could still have a 879 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: very good game. You give up two earned runs, and 880 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: that's probably what's going to happen here. But I feel 881 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: like that number is probably a little bit too good 882 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 1: to be passing up Miami and Philadelphia over eight and 883 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: a half earned runs. Ryan Weathers and Hazus Wizardo. Weathers, 884 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 1: who had been on a long layoff, comes back and 885 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: looks good. I don't have a ton of worry there. 886 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: But Philadelphia, you know, they can scare you. They can 887 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: definitely scare you as a team. And then Hazes Lozzardo 888 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: on the other side of that, the biggest wild card, 889 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,919 Speaker 1: probably of all the pitchers this year, facing a team 890 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: in Miami. Bubba mentioned earlier, all second they're not a 891 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: joke of an offense. So I think that this game 892 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: going over eight and a half feels pretty likely. And 893 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 1: I've taken that one at minus one oh two. Essentially 894 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: you're getting it even there. And then Pittsburgh Cincinnati, I'm 895 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: taking the pitching duel here Paul Skens and Hunter Green 896 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: under seven runs at minus one fourteen. Those are our 897 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: final best bets of the day, and that'll bring us 898 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: to the home run board. Let's see what is going 899 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 1: on with the Homers. Whips is pulling away here at 900 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: sixty four. It's gonna take a lot from Positive Grouch 901 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: or b Is at sixty two and second and third 902 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 1: to come back. George with sixty, Fisher King with fifty nine. 903 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna take another Nick Kurtz for home run game 904 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: to put you back in the mix. Here. It looks 905 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: like it's gonna be Whips, but Positive Grouch and Bees 906 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: need a big one over the weekend to come back 907 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: into it. I've had two consecutive home run calls go 908 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: my way. You've been watching the show all year, you 909 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: know that it's like there must be a red moon 910 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: outside or something like that. Augustine Ramirez and Ronald Acunya 911 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: Junior have been helping me out. So today I'm taking 912 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: Jaron Duran against Max schers Or who looks like he 913 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: should be retiring very very soon. He looks broken. I 914 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: am taking Jaron Duran in Toronto tonight against Max Scher's 915 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 1: or Bubba. Where are you going today for your home 916 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: run call? My friend? 917 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to back up the mett Olsen call 918 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 2: last Friday with a chalkier than chalk flate. I haven't 919 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 2: done this all season, so we're going Aaron Judge. Yeah, 920 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 2: they're facing the Chicago White Sox. They're facing Ellard and 921 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 2: a bullpen game. A White Socks bullpen. Let me echo that. 922 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 2: So it should be some very nice matchups for Aaron Judge. 923 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 2: I was gonna pick any Yankee, but I'm like, ah, 924 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 2: let's go Judge for the final day of the season 925 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 2: and see where it goes. 926 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: You might as well, and maybe we should put some 927 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: kind of limitation on it next year. Not for you 928 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: or not for me, but like anybody who wants to 929 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: pick a guy like show Hey or Judge, like we 930 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: should cap at a like five times for the year 931 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, because like the way 932 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: the rules work. You go Judge Show, Hey Alonso, Judge Show, 933 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: Hey Shure Bur and you just rotate there. I don't know, Well, 934 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: I'll talk with Kelly.
