Speaker 2: happy to be joining you guys here over the final

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: month of the fantasy baseball season. I think we're on

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: I think it's eight shows left in the year now,

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: so really down to the nitty gritty of the season.

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: Gonna try and answer a couple of your questions, but

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: we do have a really packed show sheet to get

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: through today. I of course am Joel Rico, joined as

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: always here. Bye my good friend Casey Bubba, who you

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: can check out over on Twitter at bead entric Bubba.

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: How are we doing on this Wednesday?

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: We're doing well.

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: Midway through the week. Baseball has just been full tilt.

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: If you're still playing fantasy with guys doing great against

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: tough options, bad against good streaming options. It's a wonderful

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: time to be alive playing fantasy baseball.

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: It's the beautiful thing about baseball, right, because when you

24
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: think about I guess there are other sports where you

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: can have kind of like niche heroes, but like if

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: you're looking at basketball, like you're never gonna have the

27
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: tenth guy off the bench be the star. And in

28
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 2: football it's not usually gonna be the scrubs, and hockey

29
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: it's not usually the fourth liners. But in baseball you

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: can get just amazing performances out of nowhere, and that

31
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: kind of comes where the top of the outline is

32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: today with cater Montero throwing a maddox of all people,

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: cater Montero, who's had a really tough season as a rookie.

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: There have been some ups and downs, but overall pretty

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: tough season yesterday nine innings, of course, five strikeouts, three hits,

36
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: and did not allow a walk. Overall, I think it's

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: encouraging any interest over the final couple starts here that

38
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: he can build off of this, or anything at all

39
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: to make out of Montero's start yesterday.

40
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: It's more I'm kind of curious for next season. Like

41
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: I looked at him last night, seven of fourteen stars

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: three ar in runs or less. The other seven got

43
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: a little Wonky. You know, it's like, you know, twenty

44
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: fewer k's in a He's pitch. He's not a massive

45
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: strikeout guy, but we've seen glimpses of really good things

46
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: and I think that's something we can build off of

47
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: going forward.

48
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: Could be a late, late pick.

49
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: Like in a draft champions format or something, but for

50
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: the rest of this season, it has to be a

51
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: perfect matchup to get too excited about Cater Montero. And

52
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: when you're looking at the upcoming schedule for Montero, he

53
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: has the Orioles this weekend, I'm gonna pass on that one.

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: Baltimore next week, gonna pass on that one. White Sox.

55
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: The last week could be a fun final week of

56
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: the season the stream if you need it, but I'll

57
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: kind of sit out.

58
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: The next couple could.

59
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: Be another one of those you know, random win, you're

60
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: your season. You'll be telling the story in the offseason.

61
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: Montero won me my championship because he threw seven shutout

62
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: against the White Sox. Just one of those random things.

63
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: I forget who it was with Justin Mason. It was

64
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: like last year, the year before, I was like Sean

65
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 2: Bouchard or some random Rockies player, hit a home run

66
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: for him in the last day of the season, and

67
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: then he bought a couple of jerseys, and that kind

68
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: of thing is fun. Like we were talking about those

69
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: niche players kind of winning you championships and just doing

70
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: crazy things. Seth Lugo not such a niche player anymore.

71
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 2: He might have been considered as such a couple of

72
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: years ago, but at this point we're talking about him

73
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: as an ace, and we probably should be. Yesterday he

74
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: dominated the Yankees seven shutout innings with ten strikeouts, allowed

75
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: just three hits. I do worry about trusting him so

76
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: so much heading into next season. I mean, I think

77
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: that there are certain players that have just really good

78
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: years and within that season you can kind of trust them.

79
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I want to invest in

80
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: a guy who's going to be thirty five years old,

81
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: who has some kind of shoddy supporting metrics. The strikeouts

82
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: aren't amazing generally speaking. What are your thoughts on Seth Lugo.

83
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: Should I be more interested than I am? Or am

84
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: I right to be a little bit nervous to trust

85
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: him next year?

86
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: The lazy answer, if the price is right, I am interested.

87
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: We had the same discussion this previous season with Lugo.

88
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: He had the big innings jump and it was, you know,

89
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: he's getting old, could he do it? And he's dominated

90
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: it again this season. It's eventually father time's going to

91
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: catch up. So I'm going to be like kind of

92
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: a few steps back. Uh oh, I'm gonna be a

93
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: few steps back when it comes to uh seth Lugo.

94
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: But I believe his talent is good. Can you do

95
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: it for the rest of you know, next season and

96
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: going forward, we'll see. But I wouldn't pay a premium

97
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: for it.

98
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder where that price is generally gonna fall.

99
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: Is he a top one hundred pick probably, I think,

100
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: or somewhere in that range one hundred and twenty ish,

101
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: something like that. It feels it's somewhere in that range.

102
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a little bit pricey.

103
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: Though he'll be pricey.

104
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: He'll be like a seventh or eighth round pick, probably

105
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: going as an SP two SP three to certain team,

106
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: and that takes a certain type of team bill to

107
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: make that work.

108
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: We did have a brief frozen Bubba moment there out

109
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: of nowhere. I thought we were gonna do a little

110
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: bit of a puppet, Bubba, but we are We're not

111
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: there yet. Maybe we'll get some puppets going on at

112
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: some point over the rest of the season, but let's

113
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: pray for some good connectivity. Lugo is an interesting one.

114
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: I don't think I want to pay premiums, but if

115
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: he's sitting there as like an SP three to four,

116
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: I could potentially be talked into it. Yoshinoba Yamamoto made

117
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: his return yesterday against the Cobs. Looked really good. Four innings,

118
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: allowed four his and struck out eight, a big number,

119
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: though seventy one percent of his pitches were thrown for strikes.

120
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: We firing him up in all formats against the Braves

121
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 2: later this week, Bubba.

122
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: I think you have to unless you're like really really

123
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: cautious in pitching right now, like you're dominating your formats.

124
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 3: But he got up to I think fifty nine pitches,

125
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: so you have probably cruised to close to seventy ish

126
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 3: against the Braves. Braves offense has been better, but not

127
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: consistently great right now. So I love what we saw

128
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: from Yamamoto. That was outstanding stuff, just throwing the strikes

129
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: like you mentioned, getting the whifts, the CSW was great,

130
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: so I would throw them and just hope, like we

131
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: saw Darbish make a nice jump in his second start,

132
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 3: Yamamoto should do something similar.

133
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: I hope.

134
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: So thinking about you know we're talking, we're starting to

135
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: transition into prices for next year a little bit. Yamamoto

136
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: over seventy eight innings, ninety two strikeouts, two eighty eight

137
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: ERA one oh six whip. Would you trust him as

138
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: an SP one in drafts next year? Would you want

139
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: to have a little bit of security ahead of him.

140
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 3: I'm always a very cautious drafter, so i'd want some security.

141
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: But you know, we're gonna see that draft price if

142
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: he continues what we saw on Tuesday through like maybe

143
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: two or three more starts this season and then then

144
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: a couple in the postseason potentially. Yeah, if he continues

145
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 3: just you know, building up the pitch count, doing all

146
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: these things, he's gonna go at a premium where he

147
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: might have to be your SP one in a draft.

148
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: I'd prefer him as an SP two, like if you're

149
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: an early SP draft or like a pocket ass guy.

150
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: He makes for a great SP two like that, But

151
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: that's the price you're probably gonna have to pay.

152
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: For him.

153
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm guessing probably in the third round, and a lot

154
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: of drafts will go third, maybe in the fourth. And

155
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: that's like in a fifteen team context. So in terms

156
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: of actual pick, I would imagine somewhere in the thirties

157
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: or maybe early forties, something like that. I feel like

158
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna want to pay it considering the Dodgers

159
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: team contact, et cetera, et cetera. But I'm probably on

160
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: board with you that I'd want to back it up

161
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: with somebody else who can be like a massive inning

162
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: z to we talked about the other day. You know,

163
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: the bes, the logan webs, the guys who are pretty

164
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: secure going out there throwing close to two hundred innings.

165
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: Transitioning to some position players, Parker Meadows hit a leadoff

166
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: home run yesterday. It's all the offense that Kider Montero needed.

167
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: He really only needed one batter for his home side

168
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: to take off for him, and it was Parker Meadows.

169
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: Over the last thirty days, he's been a borderline top

170
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: fifty Fantasy player. He's hitting two eighty seven. He has

171
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: seventeen runs and sixteen RBI over just a month, with

172
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: three homers and four stolen bases, regular reps out of

173
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: the leadoff spot. I was shocked checking Yahoo waiver wires

174
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: that he's only on twelve percent of rosters. I think

175
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: that that's a number that definitely needs to go up.

176
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: What about you, Bubba, You adding Parker Meadows if you're

177
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: seeing him out there?

178
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: Yep, one hundred percent.

179
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: I had some people in my substack asking me like,

180
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: should I add Meadows over you know, some standard guy

181
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: CASTI on us or something. I said, Yep, make it happen, like,

182
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: go get Meadows. The at bats will be there every day.

183
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: We've seen the power, he's seen some speed, hitting close

184
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: to three hundred over the last couple of weeks. He's

185
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: just been awesome and health is there. So yes, I

186
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: would one hundred percent be adding Parker Meadows. And that

187
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: top one hundred draft price is going to be interesting

188
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: if he gets there, Like I think, I wouldn't be

189
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: shocked if he gets close to top one hundred and

190
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: one to fifty somewhere in that range come draft season.

191
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you factor in, I mean when you're looking

192
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: at what he does and then you're thinking about the

193
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: lineup probably taking another step forward. There's a lot of

194
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: really interesting young pieces in Detroit. I think he could

195
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: potentially get into that top one hundred ish type of range,

196
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: and I honestly really think about paying it. It's tricky though.

197
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: It is tricky because there's not like a big track

198
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: record that you can look back on, and I'm usually

199
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: a sucker for a long track record. But I think

200
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to start to transition a little bit more

201
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: into trusting some of those younger players and taking some chances,

202
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: like I might take a third round Jackson Curio or

203
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: things like that nature meadows, as long as the price

204
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: doesn't get too crazy. I believe in the skills, and

205
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: I do believe in the Tigers, So he's going to

206
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: be somebody that I'm going to be pretty interested in.

207
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund a couple of home runs yesterday against the Cubs.

208
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: He's kind of been excellent as a Dodger. If you

209
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: look at the last couple of weeks, he's a top

210
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: forty player, hitting three twenty seven with a couple homers,

211
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: nine rebbies. He's stole on four bases. Another guy who's

212
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: below the fifty percent roster rate number on Yahoo is Edmund.

213
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: A MUSS roster player is he somebody that you're adding

214
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: and starting everywhere. I know the term kind of gets

215
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: thrown around a little bit, but he's playing every day

216
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: in the great lineup, doing great things, multi eligible. I

217
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: feel like Edmonds should be on more than just forty

218
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 2: three percent of rosters.

219
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: Dude was hitting clean up last night against Imonica and

220
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 3: took him deep twice, So yeah, he probably should be.

221
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: I've always been very anti Edmund just in general. It's

222
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: just for my biases, so it's tough to give a

223
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: really great answer here. But dude's playing every day. If

224
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: he's hit in the middle of that order. Probably changes

225
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: if t Oscar or when ti Oscar comes back. But

226
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: as long as Edmond's playing every day and hitting in

227
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 3: a strong spot, you need to play him right now

228
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: for the stretch run. Right now, it's all about matchups.

229
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: It's all about playing time and righting the hot hand.

230
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: It's not about looking long term right now. So if

231
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: Edmund's out there, he does fit them well. Plus all

232
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: that eligibility, Like you said, that's tremendous to try to

233
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: piecings together with all these guys getting these random He's

234
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: off right now.

235
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, between the days off and we got a packed

236
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 2: injury report later. It's kind of tricky to set your lineups.

237
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 2: But Edmund second base, shortstop, outfield in a lot of formats,

238
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: like you said, he was cleaning up. And even if

239
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: he's not going to clean up every day, you know,

240
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 2: five to six spot in that order, that's something that's

241
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: pretty appealing if he's just out there on your waiver wire,

242
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: the triple eligibility being a huge factor. Lane Thomas is

243
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: somebody I also wanted to mention he was a drop

244
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: in a lot of cases when he was you know,

245
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 2: the first couple weeks of August, people were seeing the

246
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: playing time wasn't really there, He wasn't doing much when

247
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: he was out on the field. I actually picked him

248
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: up in a couple of fifteen teamers. Was it this

249
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: fab cycle or maybe it was last weekend because people

250
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: had really just given up on him. But if you

251
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: look at what Lane Thomas has done recently, it's been really,

252
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: really good. He's kind of got his everyday roll back

253
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: there in the Cleveland order. He's down at sixty three

254
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: percent on Yahoo. I feel like even in some deeper leagues,

255
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: like I mentioned, he was available on some fifteen team

256
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: waiver wires. I'm adding Lane Thomas wherever I can at

257
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: this point, do you agree, Bubba, that he should be

258
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: rostered everywhere?

259
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: I'd say deep leagues only for me, still real, just

260
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: because I'm not like he has gotten better of late

261
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: one hundred percent.

262
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: Not going to deny that.

263
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: So if you want to ride the hot hand like

264
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: I just said about you know, our previous players, that's fine.

265
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: I get it, but I'm still not sold on. Like

266
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: what we saw on the fall from Grace when we

267
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: went to Cleveland was not good, but Tuning couldn't hit period.

268
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: Now he's heating up again.

269
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: So if you want to think he figured it out, awesome,

270
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: But I'm going to pass on Lane Thomas except for

271
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: deeper formats where he should be rusted.

272
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: That's probably a fair analysis. Like the lineup isn't so

273
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: so great. They're a lot better than last year, but

274
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: there's still not a juggernaut exactly. You know, if he

275
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: goes through a cold few days, Let's say you put

276
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: him into a weekly lineup, he goes through a cold

277
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 2: couple of days, he might miss a day. They have

278
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: shown that they are willing to set him, so maybe

279
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit too bullish on Lane Thomas. But

280
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: he has looked really, really good over the last couple

281
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: of weeks and did hit a home run yesterday. It

282
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: was the White Sox. So take that with you will.

283
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 2: Let's transition into something that Bubba holds near and deer,

284
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: and that's catchers, and we'll talk about Sean Murphy a

285
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: little bit. He had a home run last night. But

286
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: my god, has it ever been a terrible season. He

287
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 2: has missed quite a bit of time. Sean Murphy. We're

288
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: only talking about just over two hundred at bats, but

289
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: he's hitting two ZHO nine, yes, sixteen runs this year, Bubba,

290
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: sixteen runs scored bad.

291
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: It's tough to do.

292
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: I know, it is really tough to do. And another guy,

293
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: as the add takes over, Brandon Drury is somebody that

294
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: had been really surprising. It's gotten a bit better, but

295
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: he has fifteen RBI this season. There's just some crazy

296
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 2: numbers that pop out like that. But in terms of

297
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: Sean Murphy, is he somebody where you'll be buying that

298
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: dip heading into next year? Because I can't imagine after

299
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: what he did down the stretch in twenty twenty three,

300
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: after stinking up the joint this year, missing time that

301
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: he'll be that expensive. We might get him and catture

302
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: two type of draft range next season in some leagues.

303
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 2: Are you buying that dip or do you think that's

304
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 2: maybe overestimating the.

305
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: Diph No, he should be a catcher too. I'm not

306
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: excited about him that guess. It'll depend on how everything

307
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: completely unfolds in a draft. But as long as Travis

308
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 3: dayrenouds there, that was my biggest concern this year. I

309
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: want nothing to do with Sean Murphy. They will put

310
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: two these guys, and Darrenod's actually had the higher level

311
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: of playing time in this situation here. Plus Murphy the

312
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: last couple of years has had some goofy injuries, so

313
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 3: that maybe there's something going on there with Sean Murphy.

314
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: So I've just been out on him. I've been trying

315
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 3: to preach to everybody even going into the draft season,

316
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: like stay away from Sean Murphy. It's the price wasn't

317
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 3: worth it now. It could be cheaper next year, like

318
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 3: you're saying, But if he's in a platoon, and then

319
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: it it turns into like your Jay's like when it

320
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: was Jansen and Kirk and all these guys like, what.

321
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: Are you going to do with that?

322
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: And that's just something I tried to avoid. It's not

323
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: always easy to avoid, but I would try to avoid.

324
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. I mean, Darnaul is getting older.

325
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: I wonder how many years left he has behind the dish,

326
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: but he's outperformed Murphy and it hasn't even really been close.

327
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: Like I've been rolling with Darnault as a catcher two

328
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: in some leagues, fourteen homers, he's hitting two forty five.

329
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: It's not amazing, but it's a hell of a lot

330
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: better than what we've gotten out of Murphy. So that's

331
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: it's definitely a factor. Like they have shown that they

332
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: will platoon these guys. Maybe there's one more year left

333
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: in Darnaux and that will lead to another eighty game

334
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: eighty ninety game season for Murphy where he's not all

335
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: that valuable. I do think are going to be better

336
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: as a whole next year with some returning pieces. But

337
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: I think to your point, the price would have to

338
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: be pretty low if he's going inside the top even

339
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty picks. I don't know that I'd

340
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: really want to take a shot at Murphy as a

341
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: late catcher two. I could probably see myself hitting the

342
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: draft button a couple of times. One more player in

343
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: the headline section is Riley Green. Two for three yesterday

344
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: with a couple runs and three ribbys. It's kind of

345
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: been a great season for him that's come under the radar.

346
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's because he's missed a little

347
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: bit of time, but seventy two runs, twenty homers, sixty

348
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: four ribbies, four stolen bases, he's hitting two sixty three.

349
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: He's one of those guys that's just not hurting you anywhere.

350
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: And like we've talked about, the Tigers lineup getting more

351
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: and more interesting as the days go by. I wonder

352
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: how high he's going to be drafted next season, but

353
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: I think Riley Green is going to be one of

354
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: my bigger targets on the offensive side as of right now.

355
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: You interested in Riley Green for next season, Bubba.

356
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. Like Riley Green.

357
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: I agree, kind of got somewhat forgotten about it times

358
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: because he had that big gap of missed playing time

359
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: in the middle of the season, but been a very

360
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: very effective player when healthy and hopefully his healthy next years.

361
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: Compare him and like you said that lineup with Meadows

362
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: in Green and they got young and these other young

363
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: bal Victorkals going to me figures it.

364
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Out, and so many other guys there. It could be

365
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: a productive situation. So I do like Riley Green a lot.

366
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: I actually like them, probably more than Parker Meadows, So

367
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: a big fan of that as well.

368
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: Well.

369
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: If you look at what he's done just from this

370
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: year compared to last year, he's raised the walk rate, slightly,

371
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: cut the strikeouts. The WRC plus has gone from one

372
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: twenty to one thirty seven, the barrel rates thirteen percent

373
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: forty six percent hard hit rate. It's a lot to

374
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: like under the surface with Riley Green, and I really

375
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: do believe in those Tigers heading into next season. I

376
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: do think they are going to do a Royals as

377
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: type of turnaround and potentially compete for a postseason spot.

378
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: Let's go to the just for fun section. Manny Machado,

379
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: this one really surprised me. He became the Padres all

380
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: time leader in home runs yesterday with his one hundred

381
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: and sixty fourth as a Padre. He passed Nate Colbert,

382
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: who was a player in the late sixties early seventies.

383
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: Where you was I mean, this is I don't know,

384
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: it's not like the biggest of deals. But it just

385
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: so surprising that in this long but for seventy however

386
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: long they've been a team sixty seven years, that Manny

387
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: Machado is the all time home run leader. Did that

388
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: surprise you, Babba, I.

389
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: Guess a little bit.

390
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: At the same time, if you really really sit back

391
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: and think about the Padres, Tony Gwynn was their best hitter,

392
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: not a home run guy. You know, they had like

393
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: Dave Parkers and wind Fields of the world, but they

394
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: were never there for long periods of time. They've never

395
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: really had a guy to sit there for a while

396
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: to it to hit bombs. So it is surprising because

397
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: it's been in such a short amount of time that

398
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: it started like a twenty nineteen, so five years it's

399
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: all it took for Manny Machado to get there. But

400
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: at the same time, the Padres history is a little

401
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: on the rougher side of things. Let's put it that way,

402
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: like the one of the few teams has never won

403
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: a World Series. They have some of those things going

404
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: for him. They get beautiful weather, great ballpark, not the

405
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: best of teams.

406
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: It's true you know, just thinking about it, like they

407
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: have Joe Carter for a while, they had Adrian Gonzalez,

408
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: even tattoos. I'm just kind of surprised that of all

409
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: the people, it's Many Machado, who has missed a little

410
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: bit of time here and there himself, but he is

411
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: the Padres all time home run leader for now. I

412
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: feel like that feat will probably take that over at

413
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: some point, but for now it is Many Machado. One

414
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: other thing and just for fun, Kyle Schwarber, who we

415
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: will also talk about a little bit later on, is

416
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: that the single season leadoff home run record fourteen leadoff

417
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: home runs, passing the record set by Alfonso Soriano. Moving

418
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: into the rookie lookie, Kumar Rocker is going to make

419
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: his MLB debut tomorrow. I remember watching him at Vanderbilt

420
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: and thinking, this guy is and I'm not a big

421
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: prospect guy. I'm really not, But I remember seeing him

422
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: at Vanderbilt on those teams with JJ Bladay and being

423
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: really impressed. A bit of a rocky injury history for him.

424
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 2: But if you just look at what he's done in

425
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: seven starts this year, you know you want to refresh

426
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: the Fangrafts page, because you think there's something off with

427
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: the numbers. Thirty six point eight percent strike up minus

428
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: walk right at double A. He moved at the Triple

429
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: A and that became at forty eight point six percent

430
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: strike up minus walk right. We're talking about very small

431
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: sample size, but Kumar Rockers talent is just through the

432
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: roof Bubba. Are you trusting him for his MLB debut tomorrow?

433
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: I never really like to throw guys for their first

434
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: career starle. He just never really know what to expect.

435
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: But against the Mariners, I feel like I'm rolling them.

436
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 3: Yeap, one hundred percent agree. I do not like starting

437
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: prospects on their debuts, But the Mariners strike out a ton.

438
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: Kumar's looked amazing. They shared they'll be butterflies and things

439
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: might get a little wonky, but you mentioned it. Between

440
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: double A and Triple A sub one er, he's just

441
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 3: been electric. And this is the guy, this is what

442
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 3: he was before he got drafted by the Mets, didn't

443
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: sign with the Mets, got hurt, all these things. He's

444
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: starting to get healthy, figuring things out. I'd be willing

445
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 3: to give it a shot. I'm very very intrigued to

446
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 3: see how he pitches against Seattle.

447
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: In Seattle too. I wish we were doing a show

448
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: tomorrow cause I feel like there'd be a strikeout ladder

449
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: bet there going on. I wonder what they're gonna set

450
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 2: the line at, but I could see Rocker going up

451
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 2: to like, I mean eight nine, even potentially getting up

452
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: to ten. Like the Mariners strikeout like twenty seven percent

453
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: of the time. Considering the stuff that he has, like,

454
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: it's pretty damn impressive. Let's talk about some of the

455
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 2: three ups and three downs. A lot of double dongs

456
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 2: in the three up today. Cedric Mullins, who we talked

457
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: about on on Monday Show as being somebody who'd kind

458
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: of turned things around, two home runs, drove in three

459
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: and also stole a base. So he's really really looking good,

460
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: probably driving that price up to a point where I'm

461
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: not really gonna love it for next season. We talked

462
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: about some of our concerns on Monday, But the more

463
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: he's doing this, you know, you can keep adding a

464
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: couple of rounds to the price tag every time. Trey

465
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: Turner also a couple of home runs, drove in four,

466
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 2: and Michael Harris three for six with a couple of

467
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: solo home runs. Any thoughts on this group as a

468
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: whole Bubba for me? Trey Turner is kind of an

469
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: interesting one because he's been really good this season. He's

470
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: been a first round picked the last couple of years,

471
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: but I feel like with all the talent going up

472
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: into the first round, he's likely to get pushed down

473
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: to the second next year.

474
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Turner's going to get a bit of a drop,

475
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: So that definitely is an interesting one. He's doing just

476
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: enough at the end to get people excited. I'm really

477
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 3: curious about Cedric Mullens because it went from a guy

478
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: that couldn't hit, so that's tuning. Now he's hitting second

479
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: for the Orioles. If you look over like his last

480
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: two to three weeks, dude's hitting like I think over

481
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: almost four hundred over four hundred with with homeow speed.

482
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 3: He's looking like the guy that went thirty thirty a

483
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: couple of years ago. So Cedric Mullens is when I'm

484
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: very intrigued by it. A lot of it will depend

485
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 3: on what the Orioles do with their roster for next

486
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 3: season and how Cedric fits in that or if he

487
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: goes somewhere else. A lot of potential. He was a

488
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: trade target during the deadline, so I'm really curious to

489
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: see what he's doing because the finish to his season

490
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: has been quite it's almost it's gonna be like a

491
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: month long of just great production here pretty soon.

492
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: If you're still seeing him out there anywhere. I can't

493
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: imagine it's many places at this point, but I'd scoop

494
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: him up as quick as he can with what he's

495
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 2: been doing. Looking at some of the three down Michael Loknfordoh,

496
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: zero for four with a golden sombrero. Last night, Griffin Canning, Oh,

497
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 2: my goodness, nine hits, three walks, three homers, and nine

498
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 2: ernies for you if you sided to stream Griffin Canning,

499
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: that's a bad decision. And then George Kirby five innings

500
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: with five eurn runs and seven hits. I saw some

501
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 2: people on Mariners Twitter. I don't know why they came

502
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 2: into my timeline, but just saying like George Kirby has

503
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: just been disgraceful and awful and terrible and all this

504
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 2: stuff hasn't actually been that bad at all. The era

505
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: is like three six, It's like a one fifteen whip

506
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: or something like that. I don't know if you have

507
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: any George Kirby this year, bub Bubba, would you call

508
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: it a disappointment season just based on how he's kind

509
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: of ended off here? The last month is an ERA

510
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: above six. But does that taint the whole season for you? Nah?

511
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 3: I still had a good season. It's been frustrating. I

512
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 3: don't have any George Kirby, but I know some people

513
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: that really liked him. And the reason he liked him

514
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: is because of his ratios. That's why you drafted George Kirby.

515
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: And he's had more of these types of starts like

516
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 3: he had on Tuesday than we're used to from George Kirby.

517
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way.

518
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: He's not just dominating, like you know, his teammates are

519
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 3: pitching like Bryce Miller and Brian wu and these guys

520
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 3: are pitching really well. So Kirby's been good. He's just

521
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: not an SP one right now. He's an SP two,

522
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: and that's kind of the problem. You drafted him as

523
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: an SP one.

524
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's that's totally fair. I love Kirby,

525
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: I'll have him all over the place, but you know,

526
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: considering how poor the offense is behind him, you can't

527
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: really project as many wins. The strikeouts are not quite

528
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: there with the rest of the sp ones. They have

529
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: gotten better, but I think I agree that he probably

530
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: should be more in the kind of SP two range.

531
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: Let's take a couple of quick questions. Here we have

532
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: from the chat, best two for points leagues and Andy Diaz,

533
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund, Otto Lopez, Zach Netto and Xander Bogarts. Baba,

534
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: what is your gut telling you here? Best two for

535
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: points leagues?

536
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 3: I want to start with Tommy Edmond, as we talked

537
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 3: about with him. Other than that this is really tight.

538
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: I'd have to look at matchups some more, but I'd

539
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: lean lean Xander Bogart, who looks like he's starting to

540
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 3: get healthy at the plate. But Yandy Dias and points

541
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: leagues is always pretty good.

542
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tricky group. I really like what zach

543
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: Netto has been doing this year. I think I might

544
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: go with Edmund and Neto, but I think Edmund is

545
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: the clear one, and then the second one is probably

546
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: a little bit more matchup dependent, Meadows or the Martian. Yeah,

547
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: Jason Dimingez also was called up a couple of days ago.

548
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm going Meadows here. You know he's

549
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 2: a a little bit more under his belt. You don't

550
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: have to worry so much about those early Domingos has

551
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: like forty career at bats. I do worry about those

552
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 2: ups and downs here where Meadows has kind of gone

553
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: through some of the patches. So I'd go with Meadows,

554
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 2: But what about you?

555
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I go medals as well. We know he's gonna

556
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 3: play every day. We've seen the track record, we see

557
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: what he's doing. The Martians probably the better ballplayer, but

558
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: and he's played his first two games, so that's positive.

559
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of question marks still around playing time.

560
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: Can't get comfortable in a two week span. So give

561
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: me medals for this one.

562
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely agree. There one more question. Drop Luis

563
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: Robert Junior or Adalis Garcia for Tyler O'Neil. I feel

564
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: like lou Bob is probably somebody who can cut bait

565
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: with the team is just not playing for anything. They

566
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: seem fairly checked out. Every now and then he'll have

567
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: a game where it's like two homers and two steals

568
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: and then he'll go oh for his next fifteen. But

569
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: I don't think you really need to be rolling out

570
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: lou Bob at this point of the year. BUTO, but

571
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: what do you think?

572
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, both are kind of on the outs. I drop

573
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: Adelease personally, just a strikeout machine. He's bad, really bad

574
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: right now. So either one I wouldn't argue with that.

575
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: I drop Adelise either way, pick up Tyler O'Neil. Just

576
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 3: pick throw a dartboard to put both names on a

577
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 3: dartboard and pick one of them.

578
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: He's been, I mean really good when he's been out there.

579
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Is like twenty eight homers and then like

580
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: fifty three RBI or something like that. It's unbelievable in

581
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: such a good lineup. But hasn't gotten a lot of

582
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: help with guys on base when he's been hitting those

583
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 2: home runs. But Tyler O'Neil, I feel like there's an

584
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 2: MVP in there somewhere. He was ever able to stay healthy,

585
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 2: just considering how good he is offensively with the defense,

586
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: but he's just never able to stay healthy. That's kind

587
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: of the problem with Tyler O'Neil. Speaking of guys not

588
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: being able to stay healthy, natural segue into the injury segment.

589
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Luis Castillo, who we did mention the

590
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: other day. We weren't sure where they were going to

591
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: head with this one, but they put him on the

592
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: fifteen day IL, essentially ending his season. Is there any

593
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: situation where you'd hold him bubba or is he a

594
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: cut in all four mats for you?

595
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: When it comes to Luis Castillo, he is a cut

596
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 3: in all formats. You're cutting Louis Casteel. He's not gonna

597
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 3: be around for much longer. So yeah, you can move

598
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 3: on from that one.

599
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I agree. He's in all likelihood thrown his

600
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: last ball of the season. Kyle Schwarber had to leave

601
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: Tuesday's game with left elbow discomfort. It looked like he

602
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: injured it diving back to first base on a pick

603
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: off attempt. Fred Dinger in the chat said that CBS

604
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 2: has Schwarber out for the season. I haven't seen that

605
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: unless it's a very new update. The latest thing I'm

606
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: seeing is a rotal world update that he's considered day

607
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 2: to day. So we'll keep an eye on that one.

608
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: If Schwarber is out for the season, that's obviously a

609
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: drop situation. Until we have any clarity on that though.

610
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 2: But but what are you how are you taking Kyle

611
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 2: Schwarber right now, is he still somebody you're holding on

612
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: to or with the limited time left, would you just

613
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: cut eight on him.

614
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: I'm holding on to him till you hear more information.

615
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 3: After the game on Tuesday night, they basically said he's

616
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: day to day. It's a contusion, little hyper extension. He

617
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: said he's fine. They're gonna see how he feels like.

618
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: The managers said, they're putting him in the lineup and

619
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: let Shoorber make the decisions. So I haven't seen anything

620
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 3: go to the I L yet. I don't know why

621
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 3: you'd be out for the season On CBS, they must

622
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: be focused on football right now. But yeah, I'd wait

623
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: until we actually know he's on the IL before we

624
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 3: get too aggressive with dropping Kyle Schwarber.

625
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: I blame Frank Gonna. I'm gonna blame it on Frank.

626
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 3: That's a good one. That's a great place to start.

627
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: Sticking with the Phillies. Jtreel Mudo aiming for a weekend return,

628
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 2: dealing with a kneek in tusion. He's been out for

629
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 2: the last few games. I didn't even realize how bad

630
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 2: it had been for jt Reall Mudo, Babba, do you

631
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: know off the top of your head. How many stolen

632
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: bases he has this season?

633
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm guessing like four.

634
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 2: He has two steals, two stolen bases from Real Mudo.

635
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Bobby Dalbeck still more bases than him

636
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 2: this season, So that one was just awful. I mean,

637
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: he has missed some time, of course, but is there

638
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: even any point to hold on to him if he

639
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: does come back this weekend. Looks like he is going

640
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: to come back this weekend, and he had actually been

641
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: turning things around recently, but I don't really know that

642
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: I'm holding him and hoping that he comes back this weekend,

643
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: like especially if your championship is this weekend, like a

644
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: lot of people probably are. I feel like you can

645
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 2: move on.

646
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 3: For him if your championships this week and move on

647
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 3: get some Matt bats here for the next few days.

648
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 3: Because what I'm really worried about is he was supposed

649
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: to come back on Monday. Then it's like I he'll

650
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: come back Tuesday, and then on Tuesdays he won't be

651
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 3: back to this weekend. So that was quite the same

652
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 3: set back to push him back from Monday Tuesday to

653
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 3: Friday Saturday. Now, so who knows he even plays this weekend.

654
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: So if it's your championship, I'd get some at bats

655
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: elsewhere and move on.

656
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some good catchers and somebody in my Patreon, Yes,

657
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 2: they were sending me a list of catchers. I think

658
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: it was a ten or twelve team league. And there's

659
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: Austin Wells key Bearrawiz in some league. So in those

660
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: shallower one catch or formats Wells immediately, Yeah, yeah, that's

661
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: what that was what I said as well. Didn't even

662
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 2: have the catcher guru with me and I and I

663
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 2: knew what to say. Austin Wells has been fantastic. He

664
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: might be the rookie of the year in the American League.

665
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: That's he's He's now the favorites of the according to

666
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 3: the odds as of Wednesday morning.

667
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, my sedan Rafael and narrative from earlier the year

668
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: has completely gone by the wayside. That's not going to

669
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 2: happen at this point. Ranald the Lopez, we got an

670
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 2: update here from Angelo in the chat. It was on

671
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 2: the sheet already. But my update on Rayal the Lopez

672
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: was that he had to leave Tuesdays start. Just an

673
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: hour ago. He was placed on the injured list. So

674
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: I guess that means Babba. Like everybody going on the

675
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: aisle this time of year, we're saying our goodbyes. If

676
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 2: you have him on your rosters.

677
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, drop him. We were borrowed time already with ray Lo.

678
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: He finishes with a two to three ERA over one

679
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty eight and two thirds innings. What a pick?

680
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 2: What a pick if you were able to get ran

681
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: all the Lopez this year one to fifteen, whip, one

682
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven strikeouts and one hundred and twenty

683
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: eight innings. So is he now somebody we can trust

684
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: as an SP two SP three or are we looking

685
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: at this as kind of just a bit of a

686
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: miracle type of season.

687
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 3: It's a long list of people. We have to really

688
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 3: decide what these increased innings are. What they are, I

689
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: still keep them in the SP three column, But not

690
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: finishing the season on the mound is not always the

691
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: best feeling.

692
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: Definitely, sam can be said for Ben Joyce who went

693
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: to the i olbus shoulder inflammation. Obviously he's going to

694
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: be a drop, But is there anybody clearly going to

695
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: get the saves there in Los Angeles? Is it Strickland?

696
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: Is it anybody that you can point to as a

697
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: priority pick up.

698
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 3: There, Strickland got him the first time around. There's like

699
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: three or four guys that are eligible or potential to

700
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: get it. The real question is how many saved chances

701
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: will be available over the next two weeks is even

702
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: worth stressing about. So I'm just not even worried about

703
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: the Angels closing situation.

704
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think unless you are just super desperate and

705
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: you need to get like one or two more saves,

706
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: and then you can maybe try and speculate vulture save

707
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: here and there. But like we said with the Rays

708
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago and with the Cobbs, unless

709
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: you really really need it, you just stay away unless

710
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: you want to just burn a bunch of fab and

711
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: waiver priorities and all the rest of it. A couple

712
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: more little injury updates. This one should come as a

713
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: surprise to nobody, but Anthony Rendeaux, for the third time

714
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: this season, goes back on the injured list, this time

715
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: with an oblique strain. I believe this was the most

716
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: games he'd played as a member of the Angels in

717
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: the season fifty seven, so we're making progress. But he

718
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: did not hit a home run this year. Oh Man,

719
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: Anthony Rendeau and just are maybe the worst contract ever

720
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: in the history of sports. It's definitely up there. It's

721
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: right up there.

722
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: It's up there for sure. It's bad.

723
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: Someone said he missed like forty six games in his

724
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 3: whole time with the Nazi's missed Forgner in twenty six

725
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: with the Angels.

726
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: I don't even think I'm gonna put him in rankings

727
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: next year, Like when I do third base rankings, He's

728
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: not even gonna I could go one hundred deep. I

729
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: don't know that I put Rento not the list at

730
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: this point.

731
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: I usually just do top thirties, and I'm pretty sure,

732
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: just off the top of my head, he won't make

733
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 3: that list.

734
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so. One last thing on the injuries,

735
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: Ben Lively had to leave his start after taking a

736
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: comeback or off of the leg, So we'll have to

737
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: monitor that one there. I haven't seen any new updates

738
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: since I put the sheet together but an hour ago,

739
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: but we're going to keep a close eye on that one.

740
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: But we have entered into the part of the show.

741
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: If I can get the banner up here where we

742
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: talk about the best bets of the Day, Bubba for Wednesday.

743
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: I know it's still Joey p in the Welsh a

744
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: reminder of what has gone from the show, but for

745
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: what is still here on the show, myself and Babba,

746
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna bring you the bets of the Day. Bubba.

747
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: Let's start with you. What do you got for us

748
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: on this Wednesday.

749
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to try to get some some big plus

750
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 3: moneis here, So I'm going first off of Cardos Santana

751
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: over one and a half total basis at plus one

752
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: fifty five. Gordon's getting the spot start for Colorado. Then

753
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 3: that bullpen Carlo Santana's been actually sneaky good of late

754
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: when deep on Tuesday, so I'll take the heavy odds

755
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: there and cheating, so I'm going with two PCA ones. Beside,

756
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: I can't take gold glove defense because that was amazing

757
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 3: on Tuesday night. But PCA over the runs hit last time,

758
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it again. I'm two for two with

759
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: this one. PCA over half a run at plus one seventy.

760
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 3: Bobby Miller stinks guys like is not good at baseball,

761
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 3: so give me all the Cubs tonight. But PCA over

762
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: half at plus one seventy. But then I'm also gonna

763
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: cheat here because i want PCA over one and a

764
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: half hits runs at RBIs at plus one thirty five,

765
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: So I'm double dipping in the PCA waters because most

766
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: of the Cubs aren't plus money, but somehow I see

767
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: he still is, so I'll take some fun there. So

768
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: I got PCA over one and a half hits, runs RBIs,

769
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: PCA over half of a run, and Carlson Tan over

770
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: one and a half total bases, all at plus money.

771
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: Is there anybody who's changed the narrative around their season

772
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: more than Pete Crow Armstrong Because I remember doing a

773
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: show with Sarah Sanchez a few months ago, who's a

774
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: baseball writer, well known Cubs fan, and we're talking about

775
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: Peter Armstrong and his WRC plus was like thirty three

776
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: at the time, and it was a joke at that

777
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: point what he did offensively. He's a top fifteen Fantasy

778
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: player over the last month, twenty runs, twenty Ribby's five homers,

779
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: three steals in a three twenty two batting average the

780
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: definition of a league winner. If you found Pete R.

781
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: Armstrong on your waiver wire about a month ago, my

782
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: bats for the day. Angelo knew where I was headed

783
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: with this one. With the Matthew Boyd calling the chat.

784
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: I'm going for Matthew Boyd to record the win today

785
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: against the White Sox. He's been going deep into his

786
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: starts since he's returned. He's looked really, really good, and

787
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: he's also got a great ballpen to back him up. There,

788
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: you're getting into a plus money plus one twenty for

789
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: Matthew Boyd to record the win against the Socks. So

790
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: that is the first bet of the day and the

791
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: one I feel most confident about for sure, Cody Bradford

792
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: over two and a half earned runs. I like Cody

793
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: Bradford a lot, but Arizona really likes left handed pitching,

794
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: and I feel like, you know, they're gonna probably get

795
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: to him for a few year. It's minus one ten.

796
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a guaranteed thing because you never

797
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: really know, but the way that they hit left handed

798
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: pitching and how hot they have been over the last

799
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: couple of months, really Arizona's like arguably the best offense

800
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: in baseball, So I feel like a three earned runs

801
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: against Cody Bradford is very doable. And then the final

802
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: bet of the day is for Matt Olsen on the

803
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: total base call. It's at over one and a half

804
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: against Jake Urban, who has been batting practice for most

805
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: of the second half of the season. Matt Olsen has

806
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: really turned the year around, and I think over one

807
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: and a half total bases. He's got multiple hits in

808
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: three of his last four games, so I really like

809
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: that one at plus money. Just to recap, Bubba's got

810
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: Carlos Santana over one and a half total bases, Pikrol

811
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: Armstrong over point five runs, and then Pikrow Armstrong over

812
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: one and a half hits, runs and RBI, all of

813
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: them at plus money, and then myself Matt Boyd to

814
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 2: record the win, Cody Bradford over two and a half

815
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: earn runs, and then Matt Olsen over one and a

816
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 2: half total bases. Guys, go check out bet three six'

820
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,840

834
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: a little bit of a rough stretch for him since

835
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 2: he has come off of the injured. LIST i think

836
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,800
