Speaker 1: Leading off starts right now, right here on Fantasy Pros
Speaker 1: and I am the Welsh Chris Welsh joined today by
Speaker 1: Casey Bubba. We're in the house. You could find him
Speaker 1: on Twitter at beating in Trick and Bubba. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you knew this. Hope everybody had a great
Speaker 1: labor day. Do you have a great labor day? By
Speaker 1: the way, and you probably knew if he had a
Speaker 1: great labor day, but did you have a good one?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I did a lot of driving, so no, but
Speaker 2: it's it's and it's hotter than Hades out here in
Speaker 2: California right now, so it's it's been a rough rough.
Speaker 1: Goalie Arizona waves high to California. But it's not that
Speaker 1: much different. But hopefully you guys all had a great
Speaker 1: labor day. I was sitting here ready to go and
Speaker 1: do a show yesterday. I didn't even realize there was miscommunication.
Speaker 3: And it was funny. I had a back and forth
Speaker 3: with Wonky. We were laughing or I was laughing.
Speaker 1: There was just she was just like terrified of whatever
Speaker 1: I was talking about. That I was setting up and
Speaker 1: prepping and ready, and that because there were no stats
Speaker 1: done or anything.
Speaker 3: There was no show made.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: It was a funny moment. But I just want everyone
Speaker 3: to know I.
Speaker 1: Was here for you yesterday. But I was here for
Speaker 1: you in spirit. Maybe we all just needed to enjoy
Speaker 1: a little bit of time. I'm just a wonky. I
Speaker 1: just I'm out here. I'm out here ready to talk
Speaker 1: baseball every single day. Holidays be damned. I'm ready to
Speaker 1: do it, and I'm ready to do it today with
Speaker 1: all of you guys.
Speaker 3: As is Bubba.
Speaker 1: We've got some bets, we've got stats, we've got some questions,
Speaker 1: and we have Aaron Judge. We have Aaron Judge hitting
Speaker 1: number fifty four. And something interesting happened as well in
Speaker 1: the betting market, Bubba is. If you only paid attention
Speaker 1: to Twitter, you would think that this race is similar
Speaker 1: to like Michael Harris Spencer Strider for Rookie of the
Speaker 1: Year between Otani and Judge.
Speaker 3: You would think by kind of like the US.
Speaker 1: Our contemporaries that are sitting out there are like, how
Speaker 1: do we not vote Judge? How is Judge not blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah all that, But the betting market
Speaker 1: does not follow what the internet sentiment is. Yesterday, as
Speaker 1: I was prepping for the show that didn't happen. I
Speaker 1: went and just took a look, and the betting market
Speaker 1: had already moved Judge to plus one thousand and Otani
Speaker 1: was minus five fifty. It's the biggest gap I think
Speaker 1: we've seen, and I think it's worse odds than Atani
Speaker 1: had in the preseason for it. Now, yet he's closing
Speaker 1: in a two hund strikeouts. He's at thirty homers. Judge
Speaker 1: hits a homer yesterday. In one day, the market moved
Speaker 1: even more plus twelve hundred. Now, this is according to
Speaker 1: DraftKings on Judge and Otani moved further away at six hundred.
Speaker 1: So it's been kind of a long standing conversation we've
Speaker 1: had throughout the year. But you know, we all are impressed,
Speaker 1: and we all love two hundred strikeouts plus thirty homers,
Speaker 1: but Bubba, the betting market will not Budge, will not
Speaker 1: move and does not like does not look like it
Speaker 1: will falter. One instance, with the Aaron Judge stuff, Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge is gonna win this according to the betting market,
Speaker 1: and one day can change the odds by like twenty percent,
Speaker 1: as it did yesterday.
Speaker 2: So Judge's minus six hundred right now and Otani's.
Speaker 1: Plus minus twelve hundred. I'm sorry if if I might
Speaker 1: Eve incorrectly said that Judge's minus twelve hundred.
Speaker 2: Okay, and Alton's plus six hundred.
Speaker 1: He was minus one thousand, Yes, judging, gotcha. One Homer
Speaker 1: moved him to minus twelve hundred. Otani is now who
Speaker 1: went from my plus five point fifty to.
Speaker 2: Plus six plus six Okay? Yeah, no, that sounds about right,
Speaker 2: because it's it's been weird. I've always been timo TWI.
Speaker 2: I've also said I get it if Judge gets what
Speaker 2: he's doing right now is unconscious, it's crazy to what
Speaker 2: he's doing offensively. But it's just a unicorn and we're
Speaker 2: seeing the offensive skills, the pitching skills. I don't see
Speaker 2: the gap being that large, so I just keep putting
Speaker 2: money on a Tani. But it does look like it's
Speaker 2: leaning Judge's way. And there was a lot of great
Speaker 2: arguments for Judge on Twitter last night. I got and
Speaker 2: you can't argue it. It's been amazing what he's doing.
Speaker 3: I really got a hard time with this too.
Speaker 1: This might be I don't know what you make of
Speaker 1: it and what we can have a conversation and we
Speaker 1: we'd love to have a conversation with like something from
Speaker 1: bet MGM or something like what are we doing here
Speaker 1: that we have such as the biggest fans I mean
Speaker 1: literally in the chat, like Gokard's like still gotta be Otani.
Speaker 1: I think Wonky thinks this is dumb. Like what Otani
Speaker 1: is doing, what be it fantasy or not?
Speaker 2: Is special.
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna put up a thirty five to fifteen season,
Speaker 1: closing one hundred hundred.
Speaker 3: He's at two hundred and seventy two seventy batting average
Speaker 3: while also striking out two hundred.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a cy young contender and an MVP contender.
Speaker 1: Yet it's not enough for a guy that's hit might
Speaker 1: hit sixty homers. Like it's just I'm so unimpressed by
Speaker 1: sixty homers comparatively, and I don't know how else to
Speaker 1: talk about it. But like, if you come in here
Speaker 1: into this chat, you would think these odds are break even.
Speaker 1: But you start to get into the room of probably
Speaker 1: sports writers, you know, probably not crazy to think that
Speaker 1: these books have a handful of sports writers under their
Speaker 1: tail and doing you know, a little surveys and stuff
Speaker 1: like that that the bookies and sports riders are so
Speaker 1: firmly Judge it's incomprehensible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it makes a lot of sense in that regard.
Speaker 2: And you know, some people made some good points. So
Speaker 2: some of them were writers that Judge is doing this
Speaker 2: right now with the dead baseballs that we've been seeing
Speaker 2: that you look at the Yankees offense as a whole
Speaker 2: over the last month, like outside of Judge are hitting
Speaker 2: blow two hundred like they've been dreadful. They moved Judge
Speaker 2: the leadoff spot just because he continues to rake. It's
Speaker 2: it's crazy what he's doing. It's got a Barry Bonds
Speaker 2: esque feel. It's like, what do you get? You can't
Speaker 2: pitch to him because he's just crushing everything. And I
Speaker 2: also do respect, like we talked about last time, how
Speaker 2: he said the record is seventy three, Like that's what
Speaker 2: he flat out said. So I respect that coming from Judge.
Speaker 2: So it's it's excuse me, I'm allergic to this conversation.
Speaker 2: It's it is. It is an interesting one, to say
Speaker 2: the least, and it's one it's going to go on
Speaker 2: and on and on and on, and you can't go
Speaker 2: wrong with either one. What we need is the NFL.
Speaker 2: We have an offensive MVP and an overall MVP. That's
Speaker 2: what we need.
Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean they have like an offensive like I
Speaker 1: think they like I say, they sparse out they try
Speaker 1: to sparse out some of those. My problem is Walkee
Speaker 1: said something really interesting where she said, you know, if
Speaker 1: Judge was not a Yankee, but I've seen the inverse
Speaker 1: or it just switched up a little bit. That I
Speaker 1: think is even more is if Otani were a Yankee
Speaker 1: and Judge were an Angel, I don't even think we
Speaker 1: would be having remotely this conversation. I think you would
Speaker 1: have Yankee writers left and right debating how can we
Speaker 1: have this conversation when Otani is doing what he's doing.
Speaker 1: It's just I would love the I want to hear
Speaker 1: the rationale of how Judge can be minus twelve hundred
Speaker 1: when Atani's doing was doing. What is the rationale that
Speaker 1: what Otani has done overall? Even though you've also had
Speaker 1: Baseball like come out and kind of talk about how
Speaker 1: you know that this award it doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: someone who makes the playoffs.
Speaker 3: It's the most valuable team.
Speaker 1: Imagine what this Angels team would be without two hundred
Speaker 1: strikeouts and thirty homers. It's just it's a I know
Speaker 1: it's a lot that we've talked about, but it kind
Speaker 1: of hit ahead where it's moving so far, literally one
Speaker 1: day from one thousand to twelve hundred, because he hit one.
Speaker 3: Home run.
Speaker 1: To hit two homers, hit two great point. He hit
Speaker 1: two homers. That's a great point. Oh Tani hit two
Speaker 1: homers and still lost lost ground.
Speaker 3: He lost the two hundred, and.
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I don't understand it. Like you know,
Speaker 2: the books are smart, so they're getting intel from somewhere,
Speaker 2: like they're getting like somehow the guys are saying, this
Speaker 2: is my vote, like if you want to start like
Speaker 2: something's happening or or it's just everyone's putting money on
Speaker 2: Judge and they don't want they have leveraging themselves. Who knows,
Speaker 2: but it's it's crazy to imagine that the gap is
Speaker 2: so large, like you've been saying, because I don't care
Speaker 2: who wins it because both are so deserving. To me,
Speaker 2: it's a tawny just because it's like a unicorn. But
Speaker 2: at least have the odds pretty close because they're not
Speaker 2: that far apart. That's what's like you're saying and it's
Speaker 2: so crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think I think I'm becoming more infatuated
Speaker 1: with the gap that's happening than anything else. At the
Speaker 1: end of the day, whatever, you know, you want to
Speaker 1: writers to give it to judge because a Tani won
Speaker 1: it last year.
Speaker 3: That sounds like a rider.
Speaker 1: To me, that sounds exactly like a rider, Like, well,
Speaker 1: you did it last year, and you know he yes, he's.
Speaker 3: Repeating a lot of what he did last year, but
Speaker 3: we gotta go do something. This is really impressive.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, what Atani's doing is impressive, and you're
Speaker 1: taking for granted, like you're literally sitting there taking for
Speaker 1: granted this amazing, incredible thing that's happening because it happened
Speaker 1: once before.
Speaker 3: And if anything, his hitting has come down a little
Speaker 3: bit offul last year, but his pitching is getting better,
Speaker 3: and it's just like, all right, what are we doing here.
Speaker 3: Let's see Alva.
Speaker 1: Let's he Judge throw a ninety eight mile an hour,
Speaker 1: Let's see him throw a hundred mile an hour sinker.
Speaker 3: And it just not that that matters. But the market
Speaker 3: is getting weird and wild. Another piece of headline news.
Speaker 1: If you have Wanderfranco and you're banking on him helping
Speaker 1: you on a playoff run, Maybe go somewhere else and
Speaker 1: start thinking differently. Because Wanderfranco for the second time, had
Speaker 1: to rehab start cut short on Monday. He was feeling
Speaker 1: some discomfort in his right hand. He's been on the
Speaker 1: il since July tenth, and he's had a hamletbone injury,
Speaker 1: which we already.
Speaker 3: Know that is a huge fear for power.
Speaker 1: He did start the game in triple A on Monday,
Speaker 1: and he was expected to play seven innings at shortstop,
Speaker 1: but he came out of the fifth because he was
Speaker 1: starting to experience some of that.
Speaker 3: And I think you're getting back to the point of
Speaker 3: starting over.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the Rais want to play for something,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's going to be with
Speaker 1: wander Franco. Bubba, what is the likelihood you think I've
Speaker 1: got wander Fronk. I got a playoff team that has
Speaker 1: wander Franco.
Speaker 3: I could use him.
Speaker 1: This was the first round of the playoffs this week,
Speaker 1: and I was thinking I was going to get him
Speaker 1: a little bit later, and my bench could have even
Speaker 1: used just a little bit more of a boost because
Speaker 1: my starting ladup is really good to keep it league.
Speaker 3: But do you have any hopes that.
Speaker 1: We're going to get anything from Franco between the hamlet
Speaker 1: and two pushbacks on his rehab stands.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not optimistic at all. I was. I was
Speaker 2: concerned a few weeks back when things kind of got
Speaker 2: derailed a bit and they're like, oh, it's just a temporary,
Speaker 2: cautious move, and they brought him back, Like there's nothing
Speaker 2: cautious when he rais are still trying to contend to
Speaker 2: for a spot and you need Wander Fronco. So the
Speaker 2: fact that he's getting back again, you got the Handmaid
Speaker 2: injury where power is already kind of a concern I
Speaker 2: had with him. We haven't seen it enough the handmaidl'z
Speaker 2: app that it's to me, it's I would have dropped
Speaker 2: him by now. But it's tough. Like a keeper league,
Speaker 2: you can't, but draft league, he's gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in a redraft, I think you can move on.
Speaker 1: You know, the rookies an easy play. You know, we
Speaker 1: had all those discussions of like Gunner Anderson for this,
Speaker 1: Like sure, I'd rather have Gunner. He's out there. Tristan
Speaker 1: Costas at this point. You know, the one thing Tristan
Speaker 1: Cossa has got a hit in his first game, and
Speaker 1: one of the things they said right out to shoot
Speaker 1: was that they're going to let him play. This is
Speaker 1: in the same position, of course, but they said they're
Speaker 1: going to let Costas play for the most part all
Speaker 1: the way through to the.
Speaker 3: End, obviously not going pastime.
Speaker 2: And they said it either late yesterday or early this
Speaker 2: morning that they're pretty much shutting Hawsmber down for the
Speaker 2: rest of the year, so it's costs his job.
Speaker 3: And they had sent down Bobby doll Back, so I mean, they.
Speaker 2: Had made it talk about a fall from grace. My goodness,
Speaker 2: I feel bad.
Speaker 1: I actually, for some reason, I thought I because I
Speaker 1: interviewed Tristan Casus in the AFL last year, and when
Speaker 1: I was talking with him, for some reason, sometimes you
Speaker 1: just assume like, hey, everybody's like buddies and everyone's cool
Speaker 1: and everyone's helping each other. And I had kind of
Speaker 1: done a like, hey, you know, you and Bobby do
Speaker 1: you guys catch up and you've talked to him and stuff,
Speaker 1: and he's just like no, it's like pretty much like nope,
Speaker 1: don't really. He's like a good guy, but you know,
Speaker 1: there's no advice he gave me for the AFL or
Speaker 1: anything and didn't talk. And now Cossus essentially has his
Speaker 1: gig over Bobby doll Back and he's down a.
Speaker 3: Warchester, which is not grief.
Speaker 2: Not quite Boston, not quite Boston.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent, But don't expect any good help
Speaker 1: from Franco and yeah, and any redrafts if you've got
Speaker 1: i L issues, so you just probably move on because
Speaker 1: between all of the issues that are going on there,
Speaker 1: I just don't see any great help and I think
Speaker 1: time is against him, so it's not gonna work out.
Speaker 1: On the injury fronts, Max Sures was pulled after five
Speaker 1: innings on Saturday with left oblique fatigue.
Speaker 3: The one thing I.
Speaker 1: Feel positive about is he could just look get that
Speaker 1: left obleak and I think he could probably scare it
Speaker 1: back into working and he could be good to go
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. So you know which, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's one of the nicest guys in person too.
Speaker 1: Remember when he was a diamondback, he was very, very nice,
Speaker 1: and he's still like that. He's just intense, like down
Speaker 1: an alley. You wouldn't want to see him, you know,
Speaker 1: he'd be terrifying. Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed Monday that
Speaker 1: Andrew ben and Tenny undergoing a Tuesday repair on his
Speaker 1: broken hamdmate bone on Tuesday with the bone and the wrist.
Speaker 3: And that's just black. I mean, there's nothing for this year.
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about this year, but next
Speaker 1: year even keep an eye on that. Power never really
Speaker 1: developed like I was hoping it was going to. But
Speaker 1: he hit really well and New York was a great spot, but.
Speaker 3: It isn't now.
Speaker 1: Jacob Rizzi miss saturdays start with right arm fatigue. This
Speaker 1: one I really hate. Justin Steele placed on the fifteen
Speaker 1: day IL with lower backtrain. He had been such a
Speaker 1: boon to the back half of this year. But you know,
Speaker 1: with a fifteen day IL stent, you can probably just
Speaker 1: dump you know, there's no roster, there would be no
Speaker 1: reason to hold on a roster spot or even into
Speaker 1: shortkeeper league.
Speaker 3: You could dump him out right.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it stinks because I've been riding him for
Speaker 2: quite a while. It's been great, and it was just
Speaker 2: so he was supposed to actually come back later this
Speaker 2: week and then on you know, this morning, you put
Speaker 2: him on the IL. So yeah, probably kissed that one
Speaker 2: goodbye for a bit.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: I've got a I got a league where it's it's tough.
Speaker 1: It's like a dinasty it's a dynasty league, but there
Speaker 1: is a finite amount of players that you keep. And
Speaker 1: Steel has been really good. But just based on my roster,
Speaker 1: I just don't think I can do anything with him.
Speaker 1: I don't have the il spots anymore. I need arms,
Speaker 1: and I've got so many guys that I think he
Speaker 1: still would be fringe keeping and I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: move off of So this kind of sucks. Brand Jury
Speaker 1: was placed on the seven day concussion list retroactive to
Speaker 1: September third, so obviously that would mean he can't come
Speaker 1: back till the tenth This one, rinse and repeat. John
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton's moved from Monday's game after fouling a ball
Speaker 1: off his foot. X rays were negative, So maybe just
Speaker 1: a couple of days or two and you can get
Speaker 1: yourself some Stanton back. Miggie was placed on the IO
Speaker 1: with a bicep strain and Price fifteen day aisle with
Speaker 1: left wrist inflammation. Boy, how the mighty of falling with
Speaker 1: David Price. He is rough in the streets. Amazing that
Speaker 1: he's still playing Stanton? Is there any long term concerns?
Speaker 1: When I say long term, I mean you know rest
Speaker 1: of this year as far as Rostering goes with, you know,
Speaker 1: the little the little like scratchy scratch injuries that he
Speaker 1: likes to get.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not worried about him. I'm more concerned about
Speaker 2: the ball that hit him. I wonder how that thing's
Speaker 2: doing because that that couldn't have felt very good. But no,
Speaker 2: I am fine with Stanton. They need him. There are
Speaker 2: only a few games up compared to whether he used
Speaker 2: to be in that division, so they need Stanton in company.
Speaker 3: Is Chuck Norris of baseball players? Like the all the ball?
Speaker 1: The ball x rays were positive and it's we're not
Speaker 1: going to see any life into that thing.
Speaker 3: The seams are broken. Let's talk about this for a minute.
Speaker 1: This was a very gross DM that I got and
Speaker 1: I do not appreciate these being shared with me. And
Speaker 1: it was shared by our own Mike Mayer, the ultra
Speaker 1: producer for this show, and he sends me this dis
Speaker 1: gusting keep it to yourself, Mayor, No one wants to
Speaker 1: see this.
Speaker 2: Here's what it was.
Speaker 3: Patrick Corbyn over his last three starts a one nine
Speaker 3: to six ERA, only four earned runs and eighteen and
Speaker 3: one thirds of an inning. Gross yuck, bubba. I'm not
Speaker 3: going to fall for it. I will not. Will you
Speaker 3: fall for it? I will not.
Speaker 2: Well, this sucks because I was the guy that was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you know we're looking for the next year's Robbie Ray.
Speaker 2: This guy's not getting drafted. He had showed great promise
Speaker 2: at the end of last season, and here we go again.
Speaker 2: He's gonna suck us back in. But no, don't fall
Speaker 2: for it. Like if you have him been drafted, hold
Speaker 2: leagues roster, and but don't go spending five dollars on
Speaker 2: Patrick corbyt No.
Speaker 3: See Wonky Wonkey do? Should we go talk to HR?
Speaker 1: That look at He shared the same thing with Wonkey
Speaker 1: that said I can't even with that.
Speaker 3: I think we need to go to HR to be fair.
Speaker 2: To be fair, you know, Mayor's probably in football mode.
Speaker 2: It's seen a lot of football tweets. He's an Eagles fan,
Speaker 2: so they're delusional because the season hasn't started yet. Give
Speaker 2: him a couple of weeks, temperature will calm down and
Speaker 2: things will be fine.
Speaker 3: Sending us Patrick Corbyn stuff. What's he gonna do next?
Speaker 3: Wonky start sending some Jacob de Rizzy must starts. I
Speaker 3: don't think so. We're not going to fall for that.
Speaker 3: You know what, if Patrick Corvin wants to be good,
Speaker 3: good for him, I will not be falling for it.
Speaker 3: I will not be doing any of that.
Speaker 1: But if you guys were wondering, he does have a
Speaker 1: sub era sub two era as of recent maybe that
Speaker 1: gets you excited. It does not mean This day in
Speaker 1: baseball nineteen ninety five, Cal Ripkin Junior played his two thousand,
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty first consecutive Major League game to
Speaker 1: surpass Luke Garrigg's fifty six year record. Ripkin received a
Speaker 1: twenty two minute standing ovation where he went two for four,
Speaker 1: including a homer, in Baltimore's four to two win over California.
Speaker 3: I have a very important question. I am a.
Speaker 1: Not standing ovation guy. I don't understand that. I see
Speaker 1: a twenty two minute standing ovation and I'm like what.
Speaker 1: They just had a six minute ovation for Brendan Fraser
Speaker 1: at like a film festival for his movie The Whale.
Speaker 3: Why are we doing that? Why do we need the
Speaker 3: twenty two minutes is massively excessive for anybody. That's crazy
Speaker 3: talk twenty two minutes, baba.
Speaker 2: But it was twenty two minutes because I remember it
Speaker 2: very clearly. It's because he walked around the entire stadium
Speaker 2: like high fiving people. I think they're counting that whole thing.
Speaker 2: I don't think it was like a hey, we're gonna
Speaker 2: applause until you come out and tip your cap out
Speaker 2: of the dugout. No, this was like literally they I
Speaker 2: remember the banners came down on the building. He was
Speaker 2: like after the game, he almost went wade Bogs got
Speaker 2: on a horse probably so.
Speaker 3: The game, that's fine, you get on a horse, get
Speaker 3: on my phone.
Speaker 2: Imagine being the picture. Imagine being the picture going okay,
Speaker 2: now I got to sit here for twenty two minutes.
Speaker 2: Like in today's era of baseball, if you say shuresers
Speaker 2: on the bump and he's like like, oh, it's just
Speaker 2: imagine that. Imagine he's like no, getting the box or
Speaker 2: getting dug out, like we're not doing this for twenty
Speaker 2: two minutes.
Speaker 1: I would love for any player to try to do
Speaker 1: a twenty two minus a standing ovation.
Speaker 3: When Max Sure's or something.
Speaker 2: Someone in the chat find out who the picture was
Speaker 2: when this ovation starts. I want to know who did
Speaker 2: not have the cojones to shut that down.
Speaker 1: I am more impressed or I don't know, terrified when
Speaker 1: I read the twenty two minute standing ovation more than
Speaker 1: I after Executive Games played, Doctor Glenn, I walked into
Speaker 1: a ten minute conversation about Otani has to win every award.
Speaker 3: But now twenty minutes old pluck good too much. That's
Speaker 3: doctor Glenn, You's son of that's good.
Speaker 2: He just took the win from me. You're getting lost.
Speaker 2: We took the wind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I no ideed. I actually I think he stole
Speaker 3: the win. I think I got pulled for it. Doctor Glenn,
Speaker 3: you can host the show.
Speaker 1: Then you can spend ten minutes or twenty two talking
Speaker 1: about whatever you want.
Speaker 3: You have the son of a gun.
Speaker 1: I got a trivia question for you, and well, let's
Speaker 1: go back to Aaron Joe. Hey, let's talk about Altani
Speaker 1: for twelve more minutes too.
Speaker 3: Let's just get twenty two straight judging show.
Speaker 2: Didn't you guys know that?
Speaker 1: I mean, it has been a whole lot. It's just
Speaker 1: it's fascinating, it's fascinating to talk about. Uh, this is
Speaker 1: my trivia question for you, and it has to do
Speaker 1: with Aaron Judge, who is the last American League player
Speaker 1: before Aaron Judge to reach.
Speaker 3: Fifty four homers in a season. The last American League
Speaker 3: player to reach fifty four homers in a season, not
Speaker 3: counting mister Aaron Judge, Bubba, do you.
Speaker 2: Have a guess? Let's see what you got chat, not
Speaker 2: counting Aaron Judge, fifty four homers, Brady Anderson.
Speaker 3: That's a good guess. No, No, I wonder how long
Speaker 3: his standing ovation would have been.
Speaker 2: It was probably GM Carlo. Now I think about it
Speaker 2: out loud.
Speaker 1: No, it's not John Carlos. And these are both good guesses.
Speaker 1: I'm curious what the chat has here? The last American
Speaker 1: League player before Aaron Judge to reach fifty four home
Speaker 1: runs in a season. Doctor Glenn, you're our co host,
Speaker 1: you should know what do you have for ten minutes?
Speaker 2: I'm curious. Now, that's a good one, because I'm really
Speaker 2: curious on them. It's fine. It's gonna be a name
Speaker 2: that just makes me mad that I didn't get it.
Speaker 2: Probably maybe maybe.
Speaker 3: No cheating, No one can cheat.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna do some stat heroes and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and we'll see if the chat has any guesses,
Speaker 1: and I will let you know. On the stat hero front,
Speaker 1: Boba Schett went three for five with three home five RBI,
Speaker 1: three runs, huge breakout, and man, it was like right
Speaker 1: on que Bogman and I were just talking about Bobashett
Speaker 1: in our last Baseball episode, talking about like future value,
Speaker 1: talking about you know what I think the debate was,
Speaker 1: by the way, you think it was Bobashett versus Michael
Speaker 1: Harris for next season in which player you wanted? And
Speaker 1: Boba Sheett, like on Cue, just throws it out to you.
Speaker 1: So let me just throw this out to you for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three redraft, because we were talking about if
Speaker 1: you look at what Michael Harris is doing and you extrapolate,
Speaker 1: you're looking at like a thirty thirty year that I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be hard pressed that Michael Harris is
Speaker 1: not going to be a second round player. And Bobaschett
Speaker 1: this season really had fallen off. We really had the
Speaker 1: potential to go into the third or fourth round. But
Speaker 1: I asked you twenty twenty three, Bobashett or Michael Harris.
Speaker 2: I'm still a Boba Shep believer. Just the stolen bases
Speaker 2: he had last year. We're obviously more than what we'd
Speaker 2: expect from Boba sheet. But at the end of the
Speaker 2: season he's stillingna hit close to two to eighty with
Speaker 2: twenty plus home runs and maybe ten plus steels, which
Speaker 2: is a good year. It's not Michael Harris's year. I
Speaker 2: expect some regression from Michael Harris. He's still gonna be
Speaker 2: very good. I go Bobachett, but that's a great question.
Speaker 2: Like it and shortstops so deep, so you might want
Speaker 2: to go with the outfielder. It's an interesting debate.
Speaker 1: Similar similar like not crazy big rock walk rates. Everyone
Speaker 1: gets on Michael Harris about that Bobashett doesn't walk a
Speaker 1: whole bunch. Strikeout rate is better for Bobaschett obviously, but
Speaker 1: batting average has been through the roof with Michael Harris.
Speaker 3: Just a really interesting fun one to think about.
Speaker 1: But of course, on Cube, Bobaschett does that hits three
Speaker 1: homers when we have that conversation show, Hey Tani, two homers,
Speaker 1: you get less MVP odds right, Glenn h three for five,
Speaker 1: two homers, three RBI, three runs.
Speaker 3: Lewis Brinson, he lives.
Speaker 1: I'm actually Lewis Brinson's one of those guys I kind
Speaker 1: of dig and with their Giants two homers, three RB,
Speaker 1: I kind of I thought, I saw you a little
Speaker 1: hyped up online.
Speaker 2: Well, because I was making a joke because I do
Speaker 2: my DFS show Money through Friday, and he was like
Speaker 2: two K last year when he had that stretch of
Speaker 2: like two weeks where he crushed baseball. So I was
Speaker 2: always joking about Louis Printon. And then I saw the
Speaker 2: Giant sign him. I said, Okay, it's Lewis Prinson month
Speaker 2: coming up. Get ready, everybody. And then two home runs
Speaker 2: on the first game, yacht Sie.
Speaker 1: Uh, just as a pickup real quick. We have some
Speaker 1: great guesses in here, fielder Griffy A.
Speaker 3: Rod.
Speaker 1: I think this is Josh Hamilton. Nune are correct. And
Speaker 1: then Chuck said he cheated, but wow when you saw it,
Speaker 1: so just get ready for it. No Jose Canseco we
Speaker 1: got in here.
Speaker 3: Also, Walkey said Mike Mussina was pitching for.
Speaker 1: The Orioles when Ripken broke the record. I'd be curious
Speaker 1: that the other pitcher on the other team, yeah, because we've.
Speaker 2: Seen to do anything to his. Yeah, team, Like that's
Speaker 2: just one of those, you just suck it up and go.
Speaker 3: To Semer eighty five.
Speaker 1: Anthony Santander had two homers as well, so a bunch
Speaker 1: of double dong days.
Speaker 3: Mike Trout hit a homer. Luis Rngifo four.
Speaker 1: For five with an RBI two runs. Aaron Judge obviously
Speaker 1: hit his fifty fourth Atli Rushman three for five with
Speaker 1: a homer. Wants to be the number one fantasy catcher
Speaker 1: next year, big time. CJ Abrams. Remember what a big
Speaker 1: stupid deal I was making about him being the every
Speaker 1: day starting pay off a little bit four for five
Speaker 1: with two runs, and Victor Karantini had a homer, going
Speaker 1: two for three. On the pitching side, Lance Lynn went seven,
Speaker 1: struck out eleven, gave up only three hits. Jose Swarez
Speaker 1: went seven, struck out seven. My boy Ryan Nelson with
Speaker 1: the Arizona Diamondbacks. I had actually put this on the
Speaker 1: sheet for the show that never existed that we did yesterday.
Speaker 3: Ryan Nelson was coming up. I'm actually a fan of him.
Speaker 1: I chatted with him in spring training about a couple
Speaker 1: of Diamondbacks prospects.
Speaker 3: He's this really smart kid.
Speaker 1: Didn't have a great minor league season, goes seven, strikes
Speaker 1: out seven, gives up only four hits. Good Arsenal pitching
Speaker 1: had a great twenty twenty. Look out for him.
Speaker 3: Hunter Brown, there's a real big name to look out for.
Speaker 3: Went six, struck out five in the start.
Speaker 1: They'll probably not screw around with needing to do any
Speaker 1: relief stuff with Hunter Brown anymore.
Speaker 3: Really like him.
Speaker 1: And Blake Snell struck out ten in six. So before
Speaker 1: we go to stat zero's, let's pick up here.
Speaker 3: We had Luis Gonzales as a guest. No, it's a
Speaker 3: good guess.
Speaker 1: I think we had a couple others in here. But
Speaker 1: are you read to hear the player who had the
Speaker 1: had what was it who had the most homers?
Speaker 3: Or went to.
Speaker 1: Jesus who was the last American League player before Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge to reach fifty four homers?
Speaker 3: That is how it is phrased. I could not get
Speaker 3: it out.
Speaker 1: That player is none of the players you talked about,
Speaker 1: But that player did take a mean hook to their
Speaker 1: face by a Joey Betts.
Speaker 3: That yeah, it is about five foot two.
Speaker 1: Joey Batts in Toronto in twoenty ten, can take a
Speaker 1: right right hook and can put up fifty four and
Speaker 1: he's the last American league player to do that since
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. So that's my my bobbling of that answer,
Speaker 1: but really great guess as you guys did on the
Speaker 1: stat Zeros. Matt Chapman went one for ten with four
Speaker 1: strikeouts in the double Henry yesterday, Hello Baby, Trace Thompson
Speaker 1: oh for four with four strikeouts and some three K
Speaker 1: performances from Tommy fam, Hobby Bias, Eric has and Willie
Speaker 1: Domas wrikeouts.
Speaker 3: There your point, leagues, people are freaking out.
Speaker 1: On the picture side, Tyler Alexander gave up six and
Speaker 1: ten hits in four and one third of an inning.
Speaker 1: Andrew Heaney not only gave up six earned runs, he
Speaker 1: did strike out eight, which would have hit a good
Speaker 1: strike up prop. I gave up four home runs. No
Speaker 1: point zero, no point o on that. Hey friends, we've
Speaker 1: got a September giveaway here over at Fantasy Pros. How

Speaker 1: super cool, Bubba, if he didn't know, I kind of
Speaker 1: like signed baseball's around.
Speaker 2: Me Jesse's as I enjoyed them too. I just don't
Speaker 2: have them in such a great location like some other
Speaker 2: people do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to probably get a little bit more
Speaker 1: order for the home run contest. As Wonky put it,
Speaker 1: the judge bots are making a push. After a three
Speaker 1: day run of homers, they started making a push up
Speaker 1: and what that's done has made the contest a little
Speaker 1: bit closer.
Speaker 3: I apologize.
Speaker 1: I receive no artwork, so there's no good change to
Speaker 1: the board I can show you, but I can tell
Speaker 1: you that Dee Blum has got the lead with forty nine.
Speaker 1: Hi Cubby is in second at forty eight, and l
Speaker 1: Scale jumped up over Go Cards with the Judge Homers
Speaker 1: to forty eight as well, so we are a one
Speaker 1: home run race for the top three. Go Cards and
Speaker 1: cat Fox are at forty seven. Cat Fox jumped up
Speaker 1: with Judge. So we had a whole lot of judge
Speaker 1: calls yesterday. There was a an otawny call. And yes,
Speaker 1: Mike Mayor is still on the board. No Joey P though,
Speaker 1: But Mike Mayor is on the board, but Joey p
Speaker 1: is probably close.
Speaker 3: No, he is on the board. It's it's so gross.
Speaker 3: He is on the board.
Speaker 1: He's got forty two because of his Judge bots, which
Speaker 1: makes me very, very sickened that he has done it. Friends,
Speaker 1: we would like you, if you want to make some
Speaker 1: bets to go over put your TIERA on, sit back

Speaker 1: a little extra cash cash, you can do that as
Speaker 1: well for making some bets, whether it be baseball or NFL.
Speaker 3: So here's some props for you.
Speaker 1: The number one prop of the day, according to Betting
Speaker 1: Pro's cheat sheet MLB Prop cheat sheet is Andrisjmenez, who
Speaker 1: is at one total base they're projecting him almost three
Speaker 1: by the way, so you want to take that over.
Speaker 1: The number one plus money play that they've got is
Speaker 1: Jordan Alvarez or Don Alvarez at one and a half
Speaker 1: total bass they project over two. That is some plus
Speaker 1: money on the strikeouts. And also they have a new
Speaker 1: look for it, and it actually kind of screwed me
Speaker 1: up when I copy and pasted. The new look looks
Speaker 1: a little bit nutty, but it actually looks really clean.
Speaker 1: Like how I copy and paste, it looks weird, but
Speaker 1: I really like the.
Speaker 3: New design they put up. So go and check that
Speaker 3: out at betting pros.
Speaker 1: The two pitching sides I've got for you, the number
Speaker 1: one k prop was Cole Right today against Oakland.
Speaker 3: You only need four and a half. He's projected at
Speaker 3: six a little over six. And the number one plus money.
Speaker 1: Play for strikeouts is those Wardo Rodriguez who's at four
Speaker 1: and a half. He's going up against the Angels that's
Speaker 1: going to pay you plus money. They're projecting at five seven.
Speaker 1: So Bubba Ander s Meenez, Alvarez, Cole Right at Wardo,
Speaker 1: anything you like at it here. Obviously the Jimenez and
Speaker 1: Right ones are I forgot to put the juice on
Speaker 1: there of what it is, but I think they're both
Speaker 1: in like the one forty range, So those are juiced up.
Speaker 1: But Alvarez and ed Wardo are both plus money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would parlay the Jimenez and Right ones. I
Speaker 2: like both of those a lot it. Those are really
Speaker 2: really good spots. Jimenez is facing a gas can, Right's
Speaker 2: facing the as might as well be a gas can,
Speaker 2: So I like those quite a bit. Don't mind the
Speaker 2: erod one if you canes not walk, guys, because the
Speaker 2: Angels strike out over twenty six percent of the timers lefties,
Speaker 2: so there's upside there. But I like the parlay that
Speaker 2: right and a Menace call.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a good play.
Speaker 1: The right one is probably my favorite of all of
Speaker 1: them that I would put together on the strikeout front.
Speaker 1: So if you guys want to go check that out,
Speaker 1: you know, the little juice up, you might want to
Speaker 1: play it with something and you can go do it
Speaker 1: over at bed MGM with the promo code leading off
Speaker 1: over on the fan duel. A couple things I put together, Bubba,
Speaker 1: you tell me what you dig. Some prices over on
Speaker 1: FanDuel DraftKings didn't wasn't fully out when I put this together.
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola's at ten seven Jose Kintana at eight to two,
Speaker 1: Bieber at ten eight, Framber's at eleven, and Cole Wright's
Speaker 1: at ten six. You guys know, I always fall for
Speaker 1: Montgomery or Kintana when they're pitching in sub you know,
Speaker 1: suboptimal offenses against them, and he's really cheap Kingtana. But
Speaker 1: I also like I like Kyle Wright a lot in
Speaker 1: his matchup at ten to six and then stacking only
Speaker 1: two implied teams from over five runs today Dodgers and Mets.
Speaker 1: But there'll be plenty more fireworks out there. But what
Speaker 1: do you think as far as pitchers and any hitters
Speaker 1: you're putting together?
Speaker 2: The main pitchers on DK for me is right Framber
Speaker 2: and Bieber love them if you do need a value
Speaker 2: though I don't mind the the Quintonic Hall at all.
Speaker 2: And then for bats, I love Saint Louis. I love
Speaker 2: attacking Espino anytime I can, so it's one of my
Speaker 2: favorite spots. You obviously have Coors Field and play, and
Speaker 2: I think that the Giants could be interesting versus another
Speaker 2: lefty on the ground, and it's gonna be hot, hot, hot,
Speaker 2: so that bolls me flying out of LA home runs.
Speaker 1: Let's call some home runs for today. Mike Mayer has
Speaker 1: got Rafael Devers. He should he should be obligated when
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbin pitches to pick someone that's against Patrick Corban.
Speaker 1: Now I think that's gonna be we should have a
Speaker 1: bonus for that. Wonky is going Mike Trout. But but
Speaker 1: where are you going today?
Speaker 2: Well, we have something similar in Plagues. I said, I
Speaker 2: like target Paulo Espino, so give me Paul Goldschmidt in
Speaker 2: that game as the potential NL MVP goes deep in
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 1: Well, you did the same thing I was going to
Speaker 1: do in picking that game, but I went with Nolan Aernado.
Speaker 1: Goldie was gonna be my number one bet, but I
Speaker 1: decided to go against it. So I'm going Eronado. You're
Speaker 1: going Paul Goldschmidt. We're putting that together. By the way,
Speaker 1: the chat is killing me today. If you guys don't
Speaker 1: hang out on the chat, we've got the usual go
Speaker 1: cards finding a way to slight me as he does
Speaker 1: saying I forgot my own trivia question. I did not
Speaker 1: forget my own trivia question. I could not articulate the
Speaker 1: words together properly. My brain did not function, but I
Speaker 1: did not forget it, and Doctor Glenn absolutely with the
Speaker 1: mic drop because as everybody knows or anybody hangs out,
Speaker 1: Doctor Glenn gives me a game line at the end
Speaker 1: of the show, you know, because this is a.
Speaker 3: Joe's show, and we see, like, how did I do
Speaker 3: as a pitcher?
Speaker 1: And he dropped an eight inning zero Earn runs nine
Speaker 1: strikeouts in a twenty three minute standing ovation and then
Speaker 1: that's what go Card slights me. Wonky comes in and
Speaker 1: freaks out, and then doctor Glenn says, you guys can
Speaker 1: criticize the MVP voting, but there's no feedback welcome here.
Speaker 1: This is for his call on my pitching side. So
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, and I appreciate all you guys hanging
Speaker 1: out with us.
Speaker 2: Good to be back.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I was literally sitting in this chair
Speaker 1: ready to talk with you guys, but no one else
Speaker 1: was here with me, so I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3: But Bubba was here.
Speaker 2: I love them.
Speaker 3: Bubba hangs out out, Bubba, what do you got going on?
Speaker 2: This is the usual stuff bench with Bubba coming at
Speaker 2: you a couple times this week. My DFS Quick Hits
Speaker 2: show Monday through Friday, so I'll keep you posted there.
Speaker 2: Just follow me on Twitter at bd Intrick, and you
Speaker 2: get all the goods.

Speaker 1: into next week, and we'll be back again tomorrow for
Speaker 1: all the same great goodness.
Speaker 3: And hopefully I can, you know, maybe articulate a trivia
Speaker 3: question fully for Bubba. I'm the Welsh. Let's get some homers.
Speaker 3: No more tony judge, please,
