1
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome into the final leading off of

2
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two season. I am one of the hosts,

3
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Chris Welsh, joined by the great and powerful Joe Piezapia. Bye,

4
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: God bye, God. He's here, Joe Pizzapia, Hey Yo, Hey yo,

5
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: what's going on?

6
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: Welsh? I know like it's the last day of baseball season.

7
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: I always like to come on the last day and

8
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: say hello to those people who are still listening for

9
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: the baseball show. I see my cousins still here, and yes,

10
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: that is a football guy. I have not watched US

11
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: baseball in the last thirty days. I'm not gonna lie,

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: but I think Aaron Judges hit a lot of homers,

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: and yet I still don't think I'm anywhere near winning

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: that contest. Somehow, I don't know how that happened.

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Well, how do you pick thereon Judge in perpetuity from

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: the start of the season, you would be winning this content. True,

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: you picked it a couple of months ago. You know,

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: it was funny Donnie and I if people don't know,

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: cousin Johnny Donnie and lives actually right near me out

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: here in Arizona. And we all got to hang out

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: and we were trying to we were trying to coordinate something.

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: We were gonna even do a call today. I got

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: so busy yesterday I forgot. But he was getting to

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: the point where Donnie was gonna come to my house

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: and then just appear in the background that you.

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: Know, if you give him your address, he might do

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: that anyway, just random mind now, But.

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: I got I also, I got like a sick kid

29
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: or two, so I don't want to bring anybody into

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: my house and that if you know what's going on.

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: But we were going to do a whole thing with

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: that and like cousin Donnie show up. But it's been

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: a good season, and you have been missed, my friend.

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: I've been trying to miss on the court as the

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: substitute teacher. But it is good to see your face

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: me personally. It's good to do a podcast with you.

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: It's been quite a bit. We haven't got to do

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: any football and it's been baseball and a bit. So

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: it's good to see that beautiful bald head, that beautiful

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: that beautiful smile, that Joe piece of Pierre resonates. And

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: it's good to have the crew back together, which if

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, you think about it, Joe, you and I

43
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: in day one so far this year, which was a

44
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: new turn for us.

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: That's rights. And I'm another year older now too since

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: I last saw you, So that's that's happened as well.

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: I'm wearing my leading off shirt as well, representing the

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: brand today hanging out. I will say this, I have

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: been sort of, you know, quietly following what's going on.

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: The Aaron Judge stuff is amazing, and I think that

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: the Yankees are going to be so upset that they

52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: didn't try to get that contract done earlier because he's

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: thirty one years old. Well, he's thirty one years old,

54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: and if he wins a triple Crown, how do you

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: not overpay this man? Like, how do you how do

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: you sell that to the fan base At this point

57
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: you can't. So They're gonna end up giving Aaron Jodge

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: a bad contract because they were trying to cheap out

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: on the front end. And I'm enjoying that that I'm enjoying.

60
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying all the Justin Verlander shares that I not

61
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: cash out of that stayed true, no matter how tempting

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: it was at times. I predicted the demise of Shane

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 2: McClanahan when last I saw you, so or on pace

64
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: with that, and my Mets are still relevant, so go

65
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: figure they're still in the hunt.

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, things are things are working out in that respect.

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: And Alvarez got called up today. Did you see that.

68
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that. Yeahs it's crazy. It's actually

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: it's like a really crazy time. But it is good

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: to have you on here. So like the theme though,

71
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: this is where if the world wanted to perfectly set

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: you an eye up, this would have happened. So last

73
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: night I'm doing my stuff and as a little thing,

74
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if people know they saw that that

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: it's a huge, crazy thing. But I'm gonna be doing

76
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: some content with CBS Fanacy Baseball a little plug there,

77
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: and I was kind of prepping for that. And I'm

78
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm watching and I noticed Shohito Tani

79
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: has a no hitter going through the seventh and I go,

80
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: oh my god. Joe Piezapia is coming back on the

81
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: show tomorrow. And if there is one thing, if there

82
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: was a theme to this year, it would have been

83
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: the constant, maybe nauseating conversation around Otani versus judge MVP.

84
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: All I wanted in the world was for Otani to

85
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: throw a no hitter. You and I to come on

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: here and then we get to burn it all down.

87
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: We get to turn the whole ship down. Unfortunately we

88
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: don't get to Otani still with an incredible performance. I

89
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: was watching some of it. He looked gassed and we

90
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: got a note here, Matt Birch, this is tweet. Otani

91
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: now fifteen wins with a two three five E almost

92
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: twelve K per nine in twenty seven pitching starts this year.

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: The only players all time to post those numbers are

94
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: better in a season Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson. I

95
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: would like to point out that is just one of

96
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: his personalities. That is the pitching personality. The hitter personality

97
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: is still there. I was also doing a early mock

98
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: draft twenty twenty three, early early mock draft, and Bogman

99
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: and I in our final in this League Baseball episode.

100
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: For like a month, we were looking at values and

101
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: looking at Yahoo system. Otani is a top thirty five player,

102
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: both parts of him because, as you know RPID Yahoo,

103
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: he's stupid. Yeah here, which is the dumbest thing on

104
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: the planet. I hate it to this day, but literally

105
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 1: both versions of him are top thirty five players. Yet

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: you know Judge is still going to run away with it.

107
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: Joe, Yeah, he is. And the interesting thing is he's

108
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: actually a lot closer to the people realize to Verlander

109
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. Both twenty seven starts for them,

110
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,119
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty one innings for Otani, one hundred

111
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: and seventy for Verlander. Otani's got more strikeouts, but the

112
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 2: whip is lower for Verlander point eight five, which is ridiculous.

113
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: It's under one, and the era for Verlander is under two,

114
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: which is one point eight. So it's I feel like

115
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: he's going to get shut out of both awards, and

116
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: I think you could have made a case that you know,

117
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: he could have won both. You know, it's and we've

118
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 2: seen that happen before, where like Verlander, Roger Clemens, guys

119
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: who have won the Cy Young at MVP in the

120
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: same season, but it's a pitcher doing it. The fact

121
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: that you know you have somebody who could legitimately do both,

122
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: but Aaron Judges just having that special season. And it's

123
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: funny because last year Vlad had a season that was

124
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: not historic, but on triple crown pace there for a

125
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: while and we all said, it doesn't matter if he

126
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: wins a triple crown. I think it's the sixty one

127
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: home runs. It's because he's a Yankee. That's why it's

128
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: taken off to what it has. But I keep going

129
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: back to the same thing too, which is, you know,

130
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: if you are the Angels, you are not going to

131
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: win next year. It's not happening. Your team is terrible

132
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: outside of Mike Trout who hardly ever plays and shoey Otani,

133
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: who's amazing. This is your chip to move to remake

134
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: this organization. And if they don't do in the offseason,

135
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: I think it's a huge mistake. And I know it's

136
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: a pr nightmare, but so is losing. And I don't

137
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: know how many years you can have a team that

138
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: doesn't make the playoffs like they do with a salary

139
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: cap or salary I should say as high payroll high as.

140
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: They do, you know. And the funny thing is you

141
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: could go both ways, like can they even trade him? Now?

142
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: After this season? It looks even tougher, but it would

143
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: have been even more impossible if you were to win

144
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: the MVP. How can you trade the MVP two straight years,

145
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: so you could maybe get out from under it. One

146
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: of the interesting things. So I went to go take

147
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: a look and see what was out there. I don't

148
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: even know what was still out there at DraftKings to

149
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: look at the awards. That was our thing we did

150
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: for so long. It's nostalgic. Ah, we get to go

151
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: and look back at the Oh, well it's gone. They're

152
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: all gone, but they're all still One bet that is

153
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: out there, and it is fascinating. If you want to

154
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: get down and dirty for the next what is it,

155
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: five days of baseball? Six days of baseball? I want

156
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: to get down and dirty. You have this bet available

157
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: for you, and the juice is interesting. It is Aaron,

158
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: and I want to get your take on this. Aaron

159
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: judged to win the Triple Crown minus one fifteen on

160
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: both sides, yes or no. So check this out. Home

161
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: run in the bag, RBI in the back. He is

162
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: point zero two batting average points behind Luisa Rise. Right

163
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: now he has a three thirteen batting average. Louisa Rise

164
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: has a three to fifteen batting average. He has to

165
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: make that up in this time. Would you what side

166
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: would you bet?

167
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: Because you can they have left tier schedule wise or

168
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: the last remaining games for the Yankees. That has something

169
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: to do with it too, because if those teams have

170
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: quit and those teams are thrown out, you know, Jabebroni pitchers.

171
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: It makes me like the Judge probably, I think it's

172
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: interesting you're getting minus one fifteen. I wouldn't have thought

173
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: it was that much. I thought it was like minus

174
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: one oh five.

175
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: See I well, oh really, I actually thought they might

176
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: like play the no to like minus one forty and

177
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: the yes to like minus one oh five. They might play,

178
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: but they're literally just hedging on it right there. So

179
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: they've got the Orioles and the Rangers to finish out

180
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: the year, and you know, no foot is being to

181
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: take off the gas with Judge going for number sixty

182
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: two and continuously trying to run this out. So that's

183
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: what you've got for the Yankees moving forward. Six games

184
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: left and.

185
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: They're in Yankees or No, they're on the road.

186
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: That's a key marker here. They are the next three

187
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: against Baltimore, it is, but they finish out the year

188
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: of four game stretch in Texas and the twenties is

189
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: kind of a neutral park.

190
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: Just said, you know, I think Vegas is telling you

191
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 2: they feel pretty confident that he's going to get it,

192
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: because I would have thought, you know, this would have

193
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 2: been a different number personally, so I think it.

194
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: But it's both sides are one fifteen though, like you

195
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: think that confidence.

196
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: The yes again, everything you know, I think for this

197
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: is when those everything has to break right where batting

198
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: average is so fluky, you know, in terms of like hits.

199
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 2: You know the fact that it's not a bigger number

200
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: for the yes with the juice, like it was like

201
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: minus one thirty or something like that, or I'll excuse me,

202
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 2: it wasn't you know something where they were enticing you more.

203
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: I think that, yeah, I kind of think that I

204
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: would go towards the yes side of this one.

205
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Actually, well see, but that's kind of the thing is

206
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: I also think, like who in God's name is going

207
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: on there and betting no? So I think that that's

208
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: where they could have played to the juice more.

209
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: Everyone who hates the Yankees, well yeah, but I mean,

210
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 2: if you hate the Yanks, you really hate Judge that much,

211
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: you hate that he can't get a triple crown. It's

212
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: the only thing I think you do I think you

213
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: still do ask ask the where's where's uh, you know,

214
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: the cardinal fans in here? Where's were wearing wonky penguin

215
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: in here? What does she think about this?

216
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: That's I'm curious in the chat who's making or what

217
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: side of this bet are you making? He gets it

218
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: or he doesn't. He has point zero two batting average

219
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: points behind Louisa Rise. Let me see if there's anybody

220
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: else that's closed here. Xander Bogarts has a three zero nine,

221
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is a one. This is a two

222
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: dog race here because Xander Bogarts is point zero four

223
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: batting average points behind. A break is not going to

224
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: do it, so qualified, that is it? Luisa Rise versus

225
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge point zero two batting average between the yes

226
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: or no on whatever side gets it. I think it's

227
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: a fascinating bet right now because we can't do our

228
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: MVP bet because.

229
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: You know what's you know what? Also, I hope that

230
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: you know, I know we talked a lot of fantasy.

231
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: We did talk a lot of wagering this year too.

232
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: I want people to feel more comfortable making baseball wagers

233
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: because I think that you know, fantasy is a very

234
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: long drawn out thing, you don't get as much action

235
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: on it. I think if you were smart this year

236
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: and you didn't even have to make very big wagers

237
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: on things that you could have come out really positively.

238
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw some of and this is straight from

239
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: sportsbook on my bets. Julia Rodriguez fifteen bucks, right, I'm

240
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: gonna win ninety seven to fifty on that fifteen dollars investment, right, okay,

241
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: Paul gold Schmidt, a ten dollars investment, gonna win fifty

242
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: two bucks on that, right, A Hunter Green, I'm gonna

243
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: take a bath on. I was very aggressive. I'm gonna

244
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: lose it. That's gone, that's done. Justin Verlander ten bucks

245
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: to win two sixty and that was at the plus

246
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred. At plus thirteen hundred, I put another

247
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: ten bucks in there plus one forty, so I got

248
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty dollars in and then another one

249
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: fifty dollars where I tripled down at plus seven hundred,

250
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: four hundred dollars, So a combined let's see twenty seventy

251
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: dollars on Justin Verlander is going to net me almost

252
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: five hundred. Actually, no, on a thousand what am I

253
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: saying almost one thousand dollars. You can do this, everybody.

254
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: This is not hard. You don't have to have a

255
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: lot of money to make betting on baseball work for you.

256
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: You have to pay attention to it. Like the stock market.

257
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: You have to cash out when you can, and you're

258
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: gonna lose some money here and there. You're gonna make

259
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 2: some money here and there. But the trick is, can

260
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: you get some of the big things? Right? I think

261
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: I have judge as well, Sandy al Contra. Ten dollars

262
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: is going to win ninety on that, fifteen dollars is

263
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: going to win eighty two to fifty on that, and

264
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: that's it for the baseball bets there. So look, I

265
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: want people to stop with this nonsense of like, well

266
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: I don't have enough money to wage or it's a

267
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: hard thing. Well it's not. Just follow along with us

268
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: when we say we're doing it, do it along with us.

269
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: Five bucks ten bucks again, a seventy dollars investment is

270
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: now going to become one thousand dollars, right. I bet

271
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: that is more than most people win in all their

272
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: fantasy all year round from playing fantasy baseball.

273
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: Right now, see season long bets are almost think of

274
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: it like best ball at this point, because what it

275
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: is is your investment is something that you're You're just

276
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: tracking from a fun perspective to be cashed out at

277
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: the end of the year. There you go, Donnie, that's right,

278
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: Joey drinks are on you. So for sure on that side,

279
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: I'd also say that the n seat, like there's steps,

280
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, the long award season stuff is fun to bet,

281
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: but you also can find your niche, you know. I

282
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: think the exposing of like the betting the first five

283
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: has been a lot better than just betting like run

284
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: lines total, the prop market has been fun. I think

285
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: we found out strikeouts are probably.

286
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: The first five when you have those those big pictures

287
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: on the mound too, you know, like how are those

288
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: first five innings? You know, there's there's ways to do it.

289
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: And I'm not somebody like you know, I'm actually not

290
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: a betting person. Like I've been to Las Vegas twice

291
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: one the first time I was there, I never played

292
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: a single thing. I know, people are like, what are

293
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: you crazy? Like I just didn't care. I don't care.

294
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: It's not my thing. But if you know baseball and

295
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: you like baseball. There's ways to turn that into something

296
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: that is a car payment or or you know, a

297
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: nice weekend with your kids somewhere, or a nice weekend

298
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: away from your kids.

299
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: Betting interest to have different fun. By the way, side note,

300
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: the first time I went to Vegas is ampletely truor sorry,

301
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: first time I ever went to Vegas. When I was

302
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: old enough. We stayed at New York, New York. We

303
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: were with a friend. They were the girls were up

304
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: at the hotel. Me and my friend walk down, go.

305
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: To a.

306

309
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: Black twenty two. You've never seen like a dealer like

310
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: the guy through it. He was so annoyed because it

311
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: was like he's like, you guys, just get I'm like,

312
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: just got here, blah blah blah, Black twenty two. Very

313
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: first time I ever played roulette in my life doing anything.

314
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: Why would you pick the full on number only put

315
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: one bet down? Yeah, Vegas. So sometimes you can also

316
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: hit that with baseball, and there's a lot out there

317
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: for you.

318
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: Think about early on too, and we were doing some

319
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: of these shows together where we talked about, like the

320
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: win total of the Mariners this year was eighty two

321
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: and a half, right, and we said that's too low.

322
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 2: They were in a five hundred team last year. Look

323
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: how much better they got year over year and they

324
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: got to have Julio this year. There's things that you

325
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: can do, and there's ways you can look it where

326
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: you take all this fantasy baseball knowledge and while you're

327
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: playing fantasy baseball, use it to make some more immediate

328
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: and long term money because it can be done. And

329
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: I think that was the one thing I'm most proud

330
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: in the last two years that we've done on this

331
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: show is we've taken the fantasy stuff. We've wrapped it

332
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: into the gambling stuff. We've made it kind of one

333
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: thing where people can go out there and be successful

334
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: with it. That's what I want people to do. I

335
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: want people to have some action and enjoy what's going

336
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: on and take all this knowledge you're pouring over, these stats,

337
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: you're pouring over these trends. You know all these things,

338
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: make some investments in them, pay attention to what's going

339
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: on there, because it's literally you're leaving money on the table,

340
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: and you don't have to have thousands of extra dollars

341
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: to end up making thousands of dollars. I've literally probably

342
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: made a couple hundred dollars of investments, and I'm going

343
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: to walk away this year, just like last year with

344
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper and Otani, a couple thousand dollars and that

345
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: is huge, and it's something that I want everybody to

346
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: feel more empowered about next season too.

347
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, lastly, one of the things I've

348
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: kind of harped on it a couple of times was

349
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: taking the awesome home run contest, which we're going to

350
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: talk about at the end. Take the home run contest,

351
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: and I've parlayed loosely, I would use a home run

352
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: contest into betting total base props, you know, like when

353
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: you do your work and you find your absolutely great

354
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: point home run. I don't bet the home run like

355
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: some people would do. I go bet the total base

356
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: to get two total bases, so if you just miss it,

357
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: you can't tell you how many times I got a

358
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: guy in a homer and he would hit a double.

359
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: So I agree with you full through. Something we could

360
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: be talking about all off season some different ways to

361
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: attack betting if you're new to it or you want

362
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: to get into it or whatever. But it was fun.

363
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: It was fun translating and you said it best. You

364
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: can translate fantasy Info into betting and you don't have

365
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: to go crazy or anything like that. All right, let's

366
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: blow through some of this stuff. Joe. You mentioned one

367
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: of the probably the biggest pieces here that we could

368
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: hit on. For whatever reason, we're six days before the

369
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: season is going to end, and the Mets are like,

370
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: now it's time. Francisco Alvarez. Officially, I know he's coming up.

371
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: He's eligible for the playoffs because he was on the

372
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: forty man roster before we turned into September. He's gonna

373
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: come up. They said he's going to hit against lefties,

374
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: which they're just talking about this last night. That there's

375
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: only one lefty in the lineup scheduled coming up, and

376
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: it's Max Freed, So I imagine they're gonna give some

377
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: other spots, most likely going to DH so that's the plan.

378
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: I thought he would actually come to the Airs in

379
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: a fall league which starts next week, which I'll be

380
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: to get more playing time, but no, they're going to

381
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: push it into the playoffs. I think he will probably

382
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: strictly DH. I cannot imagine they're gonna throw this young

383
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: kid out, you know, catching a Jacob mcgrahm game or

384
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: anything like that, either DH, Bat and Joe. I think

385
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: that's what he's going to be. And we talked a

386
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: lot about Alvarez through the year. It's just weird that,

387
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, we were talking about him coming up when

388
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: you left, and we're talking about in the day you

389
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: come back that he's making his debut. So I know

390
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: you haven't been a.

391
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: Lot of an injury in between. Wasn't there Didn't he

392
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: have an ankle or something.

393
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: There's like a hand injury he was out for. That's

394
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: why go to the AFL. But you know he got

395
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: came back like a couple of weeks ago, and similar

396
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: to what the Rockies do with Tovar Zekie, Tovar missed

397
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: a ton of time, not a ton of experience. Instead

398
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: of pushing him lightly, they just brought him right up

399
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: to the majors. And that's what Alvarez is. Because I

400
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: really truly believe that Alvarez is going to break camp

401
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: with the Mets next year so a they can put

402
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: his bat in at DH and be a second catcher,

403
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: and see ABC would be for him to be viable

404
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: for the extra award for guys finishing in the top

405
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: three of rookie You can get a first round pick

406
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: if your guy wins the Rookie of the Year, and

407
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: you can get other compensatory picks if they finish in

408
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: the top three. So the Mets are also going to

409
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: be able to get themselves an extra pick with him

410
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: being fully eligible next year. But to me, this is

411
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: a sign he's breaking camp next year and it's going

412
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: to make a very interesting fantasy guy.

413
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I picked him up mid year in

414
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: my keeper league for a buck, and I'm going to

415
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 2: hold him next year for the dollar escalator. I mean,

416
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: it's not every day you get somebody who could be

417
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: a top five offensive catcher. And I always say the

418
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: same thing, which is catching's always harder. You got a

419
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 2: situation where these guys have to learn the pitchers, learn

420
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: what's going on all that stuff. Offense sometimes gets fall

421
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: to the wayside. But the nice thing is now the

422
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: National League you have the DH Bob, so you can

423
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: get him in there and maybe he ends up being

424
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: part time catcher. Who knows because the bat's so good.

425
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the way they want to handle. We'll see

426
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: what the off season brings for them, but that's definitely

427
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: somebody that I agree He's going to be somebody next

428
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: year that I do think is going to break camp

429
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: with the team. I think if he can help them

430
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, they want him to help them in

431
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Like they're in. Steve Cohen is in. They

432
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: have gone all in. I commend them for having some

433
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: of the discipline they had, but at the same time,

434
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: I think they did miss out on some moves they

435
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: could have made. I've been looking to in the last

436
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: thirty days what I've missed, and you know what, I

437
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: also found that was really charming and fun. The first

438
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: thirty days of this show, it felt like it was

439
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: dominated by Steven Kwan. You know, he hit three twenty

440
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: eight over the last thirty days. How about that.

441
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: I think he ended up as like a top fifty player.

442
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: When you get into like algorithmic fantasy places like how

443
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: they rank it, Yeah, no, one percent. It is a

444
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: full circle. We started full circle, We're ending back with

445
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: Stephen Kwan doing all the counting stats. It really is

446
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: fascinating speaking of stats. Let's go through a couple of

447
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: stat heroes and would you look at this though, this

448
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: is my favorite one from yesterday. Jared Kelnick with a

449
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: double don Night, two for five, two homers, three RBI,

450
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: three runs. Going into last night, Kelnick in the month

451
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: of September already was rocking a two seventy batting average

452
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: and only struck out in five five times in eight games.

453
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: I believe it was hit his third home run in

454
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: this is the ninth game here. Only little dodgy thing

455
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: is everything he's doing is still off of fastballs. Both

456
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: homers he hit last night solid TV over one hundred,

457
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: great launch angle as he does, but both were fastballs.

458
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: But we're getting this little diny taste of Jared Kelnick

459
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: before we go into the offseason, whether he's with a

460
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: new team or not. There's gonna be a little bit

461
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: more biting back into Jared Kelnick, which is gonna probably

462
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: be a very fun conversation for us to have in

463
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: the offseason, Joe, and would be very interesting how it

464
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: comes out in the Fantasy Black Book off season.

465
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, man, I wonkee I see in

466
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: the chat saying don't fall for Kellennick, and I understand.

467
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't care that these sitting fastballs. I

468
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: care that he's identified fast balls and when they're coming

469
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: into count to him, if at all, And that's good.

470
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna to freak out about that because

471
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: I think most of the you know, most balls the

472
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: guys are gonna try are going to be fast balls

473
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: most of the time. Not everyone's a good off speed

474
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: pitch hitter. I wonder if Kalenick is this guy who

475
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: just becomes more valuable to the Mariners this offseason and

476
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: that potential than it does to some other team. I

477
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: think a change of scenery would be fascinating, but it's

478
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: it's also fascinating to look back and think about that trade,

479
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: right that that trade got crushed when it was made,

480
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: and think about how what Edwin Diaz became this year

481
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: and what Jared Kalnick has been. And I think if

482
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: you're the Mets, even with that cano salary you took on,

483
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 2: you would make that deal every single day and twice

484
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 2: on Sunday to go back there again.

485
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: They love to redo that trade and just like do

486
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: the opposite again, like can we get Edwin d I

487
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: mean they would love to pull that off, and you're

488
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: just not going to be able to do it, you know.

489
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: And looking at the standings too, of you know where

490
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: everyone's finishing. You know, Seattle's at eighty five wins already,

491
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: so they're gonna blitter that eighty two and a half

492
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 2: win total that they had going into the season. I

493
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: think it's fascinating to see here at the end of

494
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: the year, the White Sox are still two games under

495
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: five hundred. After all this, they just couldn't figure it out.

496
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: I think it's fasting to see Cleveland at the top

497
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: because we always said Minnesota was a paper tiger and

498
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: it wasn't gonna last. Those were all things that were

499
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: very good. But I think the most shocking thing just

500
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: in the America League is that the Baltimore Orioles are

501
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: going to be a five hundred team this year. That

502
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: to me is stunning and looking back at it, what

503
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 2: we thought, oh man, you know that big ballpark factor

504
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: that changed that they made. Did you think it was

505
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 2: going to have this much? It definitely has had an

506
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: impact on these games where they've been a little bit

507
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 2: more able to stay in these home games. There's no

508
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: doubt about that. Do you think it was going to

509
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: have such an impact potentially because at home they are

510
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 2: ten games over five hundred for the year. Ten at home, No.

511
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the positive is like the development

512
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: they've been putting towards their pitching. They this is the

513
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: fruits of their labor, like bringing in that while just

514
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: a little bit extra space. They've seen a lot of

515
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: success with the pitchers. I didn't expect them to be

516
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: this good. And what's so great about it is what's coming.

517
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Adley Ruchman, I believe, had the second highest

518
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: war in the second half of the baseball season, and

519
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: he's going to go in in the talk of the

520
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: top three catchers we're going to be drafting in fantasy.

521
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: He will be a top one hundred. I actually suspect

522
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: he will be a top seventy five overall pick. I

523
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: think Adley, Varshow and Romuto are going to be, you know,

524
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: the three catchers that everyone's vying for. And said the

525
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: top one hundred. Gunnar Henderson has come up and looked

526
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: fantastic and they still have more guys coming. So it's

527
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: a very bright, bright bright future for the Orioles right now.

528
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: And a few of the other lower teams in trying to,

529
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, change out the competitive balance just a few

530
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: other little stat things. Is I want to get, you know,

531
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: through to the home run contest. We don't need to

532
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: go through all them. Hanniger did have two homers. If

533
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: you're talking about y kel Nick might be expendable. That's

534
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: another one of those reasons. On the pitching side of Tawny.

535
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: In that game, went eight, struck out ten, did end

536
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: up giving two hits, and he got it seven to

537
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: two thirds before he gave up the hit. Unfortunately, walked

538
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: one for down huge game. Only give up two hits,

539
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: struck out ten and Jeffrey Springs, who have a whole

540
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: off season conversation about how underrated I think he is.

541
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: Went six, gave up three hits, five k's, has not

542
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: given up more than two runs in the month of September.

543
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: It's actually six straight starts where he hasn't given up

544
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: two runs or more. He's only given up two runs

545
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: once this whole time. So he has been insanely impressive

546
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: and he will be in the off season. Joe, you've

547
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: been gone the home run contest? Has did you been

548
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: gone so close? This is a fun fact me and

549
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: Sir Sis the only ones with a homer yesterday. I

550
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: unfortunately didn't put the magic out that you and Mayer

551
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: did with you know, I mean essentially you slash judge.

552
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: I did cross the forty homer marker, which I'm pretty

553
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: sure that was kind of a big thing for me

554
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: in learning it.

555
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: Where am I I don't even know where? I mean?

556
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: Top ten you are.

557
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we don't have any art. We haven't had art

558
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Here happens, Yeah, we haven't had

559
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: it for a bit. But you all are top ten

560
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: the leader going into this weekend. Unfortunately, you know, leading

561
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: off is done, so you guys are gonna have to

562
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: go into the discord and find out the results and

563
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: everything like that. Fantasy pros probably share something like that.

564
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: Cat Fox is in the lead at fifty six.

565
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: Oh where'd that name even come from? I know that name.

566
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: It was just up up, up, up took it. Cat

567
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: Fox is in the lead. Helpless in Miami and l

568
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: Scale are both in second with fifty five, one homer away.

569
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: High Covees at fifty four, and then you got a

570
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: couple of fifties lower deep b leming go cards. Mike

571
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: Mayer is eighth and Joey is ninth, except you guys

572
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: are tied. You're both technically eight. You both have forty

573
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: eight home runs going.

574
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: Why is he ahead of me? Though? That doesn't make

575
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 2: any sense at all.

576
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think whoever put the leaderboard up here

577
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: put Mike Mayor. I trying to actually get the logic.

578
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 1: Why is he out there?

579
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, there is no logic to it. That's

580
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: just Mike Mayor pulling strength.

581
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: I think it's just because you put Judge in there.

582
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 2: Probably. But here's the other thing too, Looking back in

583
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: the season now and 're looking at it, I think

584
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: it's so apparent, especially actually it's really in both leagues,

585
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 2: but it's even more so. I feel like in the

586
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: National League, how stark it is between the good, the

587
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 2: really good teams and the really bad teams. You know

588
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: where you know, you have the Mets and the Braves

589
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 2: approaching one hundred wins. You have the San Diego Padres.

590
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: I'm looking at you know, they haven't exactly been exactly

591
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 2: where they wanted to be necessarily, but they are sixteen

592
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: games over. The Phillies are still in this hunt. The

593
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 2: Milwaukee is still in this hunt. But then after that,

594
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: the Cubs are such a bad team. Colorado, Miami's gonna

595
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 2: lose ninety games, so they already did. The Cincinnati is

596
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: gonna lose maybe over one hundred, Pittsburgh iss gonna lose

597
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: close to one hundred, Washington's gonna lose one hundred. Losing

598
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: one hundred games is bad for baseball. And on the

599
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 2: other side too, Detroit, Kansas City, and Oakland are all

600
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: gonna be ninety plus lost teams. That's bad for baseball.

601
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: And I don't know when we're going to find more

602
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: parody in the league, but there needs to be more

603
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: parody in the league in the sense that we can't

604
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: have this continue and Baseball things that it wants to

605
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: expand again, which I know they've talked about, which is absurd.

606
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: I just can't even do the expand stuff. It's that

607
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: just beyond me. If you keep expanding baseball, just talked

608
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: about the subagman, keep expanding baseball, you're going to get

609
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: to the point we are literally not you know how

610
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: we had the figurative different leagues al and you're literally

611
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: going to have to break the league up. You can't

612
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: have thirty eight forty team you can't keep doing this.

613
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: You can't expand to do markets unless you're just taking

614
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: away from markets that are not doing their job and

615
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: putting them in other spots. You know. I would also say,

616
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: like if you're petitioning for like, well, this state doesn't

617
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: have a team, well, we also don't need three in

618
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: one state, you know, and you're not going to change

619
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: the tradition of the Chicago Cubs of the White Sox.

620
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: We don't need too much. Like, I can't do expansion.

621
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: I can't do all of that talk too. It's too much, Joe,

622
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: it's too much for there's too many things baseball isn't

623
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: doing correctly. That would just be another in the added list.

624
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: We just need it to be better, not adding more

625
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: like we add a omaha.

626
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 2: Well but I mean we've talked about it. They're never

627
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 2: going to do a salary cap there his CBA has

628
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: now agreed on and all this stuff. You know, it's

629
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 2: just the you're trying to find the incentive. They've all

630
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: got these major TV contracts and these major deals and

631
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 2: the money's flowing in there. But I continue to say

632
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: the same thing, which I know everyone thinks I'm crazy,

633
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: But the regular season is just too long nowadays for

634
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: what And I know it upsets a lot of purists.

635
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: And I was once a baseball purist myself, and then

636
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: I had my first beer, and then I realized that,

637
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: you know, there's more to life than one hundred and

638
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: sixty two baseball games. At this point, we just need

639
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: to do it better in a better way. More playoffs,

640
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: less regular season. I think that will spark some new

641
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: life in baseball. Baseball should have the most life in August,

642
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: because it's the point in time when the sports calendar

643
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: where there's just more opportunity and you have a lot

644
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: of kids who are off and there's a lot of

645
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: time to watch these games. And instead they're just dog

646
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: day of August games that really don't mean all that

647
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: much and we're all just focused on September. That I

648
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: think is is a problem that they still yet to address,

649
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: and I hope that they do. I know they're never

650
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: going to. I just hope at some point we get

651
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: a little bit more parody, because if you've expanded the playoffs,

652
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: you want to have more teams that are really viable

653
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: for it. Instead we have once again, we've just gone

654
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 2: down one more tick and we have Okay, Now, instead

655
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: of these two teams fighting, now three teams are fighting,

656
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: and then there's one other ancillary team. It should be

657
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: six other ancillary teams. It should be hot as hell

658
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: right now. We should all be thinking, oh my god,

659
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: these like six teams could all make it if this happens.

660
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: If this happens, it should feel like March madness. But

661
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't. Unfortunately, it feels like a foregone conclusion where

662
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: we're just watching the phillies of the Brewers punch it

663
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: out here at the.

664
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: End, I agree that that it should be shortened, but

665
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: I would you know, point you as we in this part.

666
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: I would point you to how Baseball managed changing their

667
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: baseballs and how fans have totally not freaked out over

668
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: extending a couple inches to a base that they're adding.

669
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: Baseball and fans on team change, they don't mix very well.

670
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: So talk about taking games away Baseball, I'm not.

671
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: Talking about sea and that's the thing. I'm not talking

672
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: about taking games away. I'm talking about restructuring them. I

673
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: want to restructure the games. I want to make them

674
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: more playoff orient. I want to make one hundred game

675
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: regular season or one hundred and one games and then

676
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 2: I want sixty one game tournament to get to the end,

677
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: and I think that would be super cool, and then

678
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: run it in first week October, but can't because the

679
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: way they are already past that point, it can ever

680
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: be done. I'm living in a fantasy land. But I

681
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: will say this, there's some wonderful things in baseball this year.

682
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: The Aaron Judge home run thing has been amazing. Even

683
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: from a Met fan perspective, I think it's been fun

684
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: to see favorite teams like the Dodgers and Mets actually

685
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: be favorite teams. I think it's been super fun to

686
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: see Shoheo Tani do what he's done. Julio Ronriguez, I mean,

687
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: what were your other high points this year? Welsh for

688
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: the year in baseball. Julio was a big one for

689
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: me too. He's just so fun to watch.

690
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: I think Julio was probably one of the biggest me personally,

691
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: but I think Bobby Witt it was criminally underrated and

692
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: overshadowed by what Julio did. I mean, also from a

693
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, we had a lot of changing of the guard.

694
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: I think pitching expand a catchers I think are kind

695
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: of reformed the dh brought new life into the value

696
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: of having an owning catchers. Now, I mean where in

697
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: most worlds a Sean Murphy wouldn't be someone you need

698
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: to consider, or a halle Hendro Kirk or something like that.

699
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: Those guys staying out in Dhing gives more life and

700
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: Dalton Varshow has got there. I think there's a litany

701
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: of highlights that we could take from it, and we

702
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: can look back on from what I think has changed

703
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: in Fantasy that will be expanded upon in this next

704
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: season and the Fantasy Black Book, which I know is

705

765
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: world get rid of baseball and you've seen those of

766

770
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: didn't like Welsh. See by the end you did. I

771
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: told you he's like an acquired taste. You got to

772
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 2: stick with it.

773
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: A fine one.

774
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 2: And there's doctor Glenn see we tolerate you too, and

775
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 2: the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks. You're all the best.

776
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: Like seriously, it's great.

777
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just want to add thank you to everybody.

778
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: I have no idea what my future holds here with

779
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros. This is my last show and I'm just

780
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: out into the wilderness. Hopefully I'm back because I do

781
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: love you all. I've enjoyed the show very much as

782
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: I've explained to multiple people, it's been weird this year

783
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: because a lot of what I've done is I've felt

784
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: like a substitute teacher, where I've kind of been like

785
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: fit well now, like filling into what other people do.

786
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: So there's some things that are maybe not as natural

787
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: to how I would normally be. But hopefully in the

788
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: future I can continue to bring my weirdness out into

789
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Baseball scape, and hopefully I can do it

790
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: here because I really do. I like the community, I

791
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: love the podcast like the people at Fantasy Pros. I

792
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: desperately missed doing podcasts with you, Joe, So hopefully you

793
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: guys tolerated someone enjoyed or maybe really enjoyed me here.

794
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: But like I said, I don't know what it holds,

795
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: but hopefully I will be seeing you all in the

796
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: near future, very very much. So, Joe, let's end this

797
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: bad boy out with a home run call. You know

805
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,840

Speaker 2: I could pick him.

815
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,440
