1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the cycle. I am Ryan Warmley,

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: joined as always by Mike Mayor Mayor. We are here

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: at almost the All Star break, and in fact, it

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: might even be the All Star break for some people

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: listening to this if they waited a couple of days

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: after it gets released. We are just doing one episode.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: We always do kind of one quote unquote episode of

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: the cycle. We're doing only one part today rather than

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: breaking it up because there are not a lot of

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: games next week and not until next weekend. We're not

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: doing our usual you know, pitching streamers. Obviously, we can't

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: really do the two star picture contests. We've got a

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: fun way to so kind of go ahead to head

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: against each other and something for next week. Anyway, we'll

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: get to you later in the show. But yeah, just

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: won't be one episode this week. You don't need to

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: look for part two, Part three for other listeners who

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: are used to seeing that on audio and video. What

19
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing today is some news and notes,

20
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: which there actually isn't really all that much. It's a

21
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: lot of minor news and notes updates. We felt like

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: it was kind of not very newsworthy week. We're gonna

23
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: do some bold predictions for the post All Star breaks,

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: the second half post All Star Break, however you want

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: to call it. We're gonna do some bullet predictions. We've

26
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: got three each, and then we're gonna wrap up with

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: a home run Derby draft. Now we are recording this

28
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday, which is only a few days before the derby,

29
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: and they still have not announced the whole field. I

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: hate that Major League Baseball is waiting so long. Now.

31
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: I don't see the value in this at all. Makes

32
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: no sense to me. Right now, we only have seven

33
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: names listed, and one of the names is Byron Buckston,

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: who got hit by a pitch yesterday, and I haven't

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: seen anything that says he's not going to participate, but

36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, you never know with a guy like Buckston

37
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: and his injury history. So we're gonna do the best

38
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: we can with this home run Derby draft and figure

39
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: it out kind of as we go along. That'll be

40
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: how we wrap up this show, so stay tuned for

41
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: that later on. Like I said, mayor just a couple

42
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: of days here before the All Star Break. How we

43
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: feel and kind of at this unofficial we are past

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: the halfway point, but the unofficial halfway point of the season.

45
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: I'm feeling pretty good, you know, like you said, Yeah,

46
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,279
Speaker 2: we normally do just the one like quote unquote episode,

47
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: but three videos. We usually put out about one hundred

48
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: minutes of content, and so I think we agreed this

49
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: one episode's going to be one hundred minutes long?

50
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: Is that right?

51
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: I doubt it, But if it goes that long, naturally

52
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: we will allow it to do. So that's my promise.

53
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: But I cannot imagine that happening. Let's dive into the

54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: news and notes. Like I said, it really didn't feel

55
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: like there was a whole lot here. Dallas Kykeel signs

56
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: with the Royals just of note because of the name brand,

57
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: not like you and I are. I mean, I assume

58
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: not like we were expecting any kind of fantasy value here.

59
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: Given the most recent performances we saw from Kaykel last

60
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: time he was on the mound, I thought it was

61
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: interesting that Major League Baseball is going to be using

62
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: the ABS system? Does the S Stanford system? Can I

63
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: say ABS system? Is it like pin number or ATM

64
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: machine where you're not supposed to says? What does the

65
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: S stand for? Again?

66
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: I assume so I always.

67
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: Or is it or is it automated Balls and Strikes?

68
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: I know what it is, but I actually forget what

69
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: it's what it stands for.

70
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: I thought it was automated balls and strikes, So maybe

71
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: I can't automated ball system.

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well at any rate, I you know,

73
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: forget what that's called. But at any rate, they're using

74
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: it during the All Star Game. Is that of interest

75
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: to you? Do you think this is kind of a

76
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: fun exhibition to test it out more at the major

77
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: league level? Or do you not really care about this?

78
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: I care about it. I'm interested to see how they

79
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: do it. I think there's a lot of ways to

80
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: do it right and a lot of ways to do

81
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: it wrong. I think the umpiring has been so bad

82
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: that it's worth kind of you know, it.

83
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: Is automated ball strike. So you can say ABS system,

84
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: which is what I thought, but I got as soon

85
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: as I said it, I was like, wait, is this

86
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: like ATM machine or pin number? So I should have

87
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: stuck with.

88
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: The Garby eyes.

89
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, runs bat it in instead of run bad. It

90
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: ends run bad, it ins Ribby's as I call them.

91
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: All right, Sorry, I keep going on the ABS.

92
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm interested to see how it goes. I

93
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: know they've been playing Aroun at the minor league level.

94
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of promise to it. I

95
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of ways it could go wrong.

96
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: But I also think we're at a point now in

97
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, with all of the advanced cameras that

98
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: we have and all these angles that we have, and

99
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: we're seeing, you know, things done in other sports where

100
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: it's like we're so exact with some of these things,

101
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: Like even in tennis, there's like an automated system where

102
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: you can see like if a ball was across the

103
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: line from overhead and stuff that The days of Angel

104
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: Hernandez calling a ball six inches out off the plate

105
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: as a strike, like those have to be over at

106
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: this point. Like we just have too much technology at

107
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: our fingertips to just let that keep happening.

108
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: Even though there.

109
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: Is a part of me that loves like the human

110
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: element of the game there.

111
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't this isn't the way it's going to look

112
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: when it eventually becomes like a regular thing, which it will,

113
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: but I I kind of wish there was a way

114
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: to say it's only for stuff that's very obvious, like

115
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: egregious misses. I kind of don't want it to get

116
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: used for borderline well, like, well, technically that caught the

117
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: black and you know it should have been because especially

118
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: with like height, it's so different for every player. Like

119
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: I know the technology is like calculating for that, but

120
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm not really that interested in it in a device

121
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: to like steal a strike here and there. What I'm

122
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: interested in it is for the stuff where it's like

123
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: like the Angel Hernandez examples, right, like the okay, like

124
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: this is such a clear miss I don't know what

125
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: you were talking about. This is going to change the

126
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: entire scope of the bat. We got to fix this.

127
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: That's where I want it to be used. If it's

128
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: like a borderline thing like technically by you know, a

129
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: quarter of an inch, it is one way or the other.

130
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm less interested in that. Do you feel like it

131
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: should be And again I know I'm not. It's not

132
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: going to be what I want. But do you kind

133
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: of get that point of you are okay with what

134
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm laying out its possibility or do you think it

135
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: should just be very exact, like even if it's by

136
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: a hair, if the ABS system catches it, it should be

137
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: a strike.

138
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: I think I'm okay with that.

139
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: You know, there's kind of like that gray area outside

140
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: of the strike zone, and it kind of feels like

141
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: if if a pitch hits that gray area and you

142
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: can still kind of have the human element, but if

143
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: it's if it's three inches outside, you know, we got

144
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: to correct that. We can't just let you make an

145
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: atrocious call like that. I think also, you know that

146
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: would that would you know, help speed up the game

147
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: a little bit too, Like we don't want like every time.

148
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: I know there was like a system in play where

149
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: like the way I don't know if they're still doing

150
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: this in minor leagues, but like an umpire would call

151
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 2: the game, he would hear in his ear like that

152
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: was a strike, and then he was allowed to say

153
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: striker ball, but he was told what the system was saying.

154
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: He was just allowed to override it. I don't know

155
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: if they're still trying out a system like that, but

156
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: you know, I don't I don't think it would be.

157
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: There should be a system either where it's just like

158
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: every pitch is reviewed and you have to be like

159
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: like here's the pitch and you have to like look

160
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: to the side to like see if yeah, you know,

161
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: as a ball or strike. I agree, look up with

162
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: the scoreboard.

163
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean the challenge system too, would be nice to see.

164
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Just like I want to see umpires put in their

165
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: place more because they are all terrible and I love

166
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: I want to see it. Batters, you know, do the

167
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: hand on the helmet and sorry you were wrong, Blue,

168
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: like you know, cook, get your eyes checked. So also,

169
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, just thinking about the upcoming weekend and the

170
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: All Star break, do you have any interest in the

171
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball Draft? Obviously we played some dynasty leagues.

172
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: We're in one together. It's really more of a deep keeper,

173
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: but you know we are dynasty managers in fantasy baseball.

174
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: The draft is this weekend. Are you somebody who consider

175
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: yourself pretty familiar with the prospects coming in? Do you

176
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: more just kind of wait to see top one hundred

177
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: prospect lists? Like once these guys are into professional baseball. Also,

178
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: of note, the Nationals fired not only Dave Martinez but

179
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: Mike Rizzo. They're GM one week before the draft, which

180
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: is really interesting timing. On the one hand, it's like

181
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: very surprising. On the other, you know, if you think

182
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: this is not the guy for you, you don't want

183
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: to making the number and overall pick, but you know,

184
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: very very definitely eyebrow raising at the very least. So

185
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: any thoughts on that in general.

186
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: So the Mike Raiso thing I thought was interesting, but

187
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: I also agree with what you said, Like, you know,

188
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: if you've come to this conclusion, your solution shouldn't be

189
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: all right, let's give him one more draft and then

190
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: we'll fire. I'm like, no, I don't want this guy

191
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: making this draft pick. Like so, even even though even

192
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: if you don't have like a perfect, you know, replacement,

193
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: you know system in place.

194
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: If you want to make the move, you make the move.

195
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: And you know your scouts have done all the work anyway,

196
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 2: and you know you should have a good idea of

197
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: who you want to take.

198
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 3: You just have a different, different person pulling the trigger.

199
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: I I kind of varer from year to year with

200
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: the MLB prospects coming in, depending on how big of

201
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: a class it is. I'll know who the prospects are.

202
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: This year, I'm not as familiar. I know there's another

203
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: holiday coming out that people are excited about, but other

204
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: than that, I kind of wait to see the names

205
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: drafted and then I'll dive in a little bit more.

206
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 3: But there's a bunch of names.

207
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: I've heard of, but yeah, this this is this class

208
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: in particular, or I haven't done like dug in too deep,

209
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: but as they get announced and stuff, I'll start diging

210
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: in and you know, see who the top prospects are

211
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: and you know what their path is. And I think

212
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: it's been more interesting in recent years because we're seeing

213
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: that path to the major leagues shortened for a lot

214
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: of these top prospects, whereas before I was like, all right,

215
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: like we'll see this guy in four or five years.

216
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like Chase Burham was drafted last year. There's

217
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: a bunch of players drafted last year in the league

218
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: in the league now. So that's where you know it

219
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: starts to get more more exciting and interesting. And uh yeah,

220
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: I wish they would to kind of like televise it

221
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 2: more because sometimes it's hard. It's hard to watch the

222
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 2: MLB draft or I would kind of sit down and

223
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: watch that or at least having it on the background.

224
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: I think Kate Anderson is going to be the first pick.

225
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: It's just my guest. I don't have any inside knowledge.

226
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: Ethan Holliday feels like, if he's not the first pick,

227
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: feels like a lock to go to the Rockies at four,

228
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: which would be fun because he's got more power than

229
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: Jackson did as a as a prospect. He's a good player.

230
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, it's not that we've had some

231
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: drafts in recent year where there is like, holy cow,

232
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: there are like, you know, three or four superstars at

233
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: the top. Doesn't feel that way of me right now,

234
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: but there's a long way to go with these guys' career,

235
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: so it's something that I will be watching. I do

236
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: very much enjoy the draft. And the Orioles just traded

237
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: for the thirty seventh pick by getting rid of a

238
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: controllable reliever who I think is pretty good what we

239
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: don't need to talk too much about. But they now

240
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: have the most despite not picking early, they now have

241
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: the most like bonus pool to spend. It's like eighteen

242
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: or nineteen million because they have three competitive balance round picks.

243
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: So well, I thought we were considering this the Brian

244
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 2: Baker Emergency Podcast, so that we're going to spend most

245
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: of the time on that Orioles reliever.

246
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: See you make fun, but you admitted to me before

247
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: the show you had never heard of Brian Baker before

248
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: this episode. He's a good reliever. I was surprise. The orielstrated,

249
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: all right, let's dive into a bunch of the news

250
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: and notes that you edited in here.

251
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: So did you already mention Dallas Kickeel. I don't know

252
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: if you mentioned that. I thought you okay, So I

253
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: thought you made you just went right to ABS. So

254
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: John Gray is beginning a rehab assignment. He began it yesterday.

255
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: Any interest in John Gray potentially has a fantasy asset

256
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 2: in the second.

257
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: Half, I wouldn't say a lot of interest, but I

258
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: mean it depends on the league espers.

259
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, another report there.

260
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: I'm surprised to see because I thought most of the

261
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 2: reports a couple of weeks ago with that Als Bragman

262
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: was you know, working his way back, but that we

263
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't seem to laughter the All Star break. Alex's course

264
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: said yesterday that he expected them back potentially before the

265
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: All Star break, which you know, as you already mentioned,

266
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: there's only a few days left. He's been on the

267
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: shelf for a while. Kind of why would you risk

268
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: it at this point? You know, I get like, if

269
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: he's ready, he's ready, but also just take a few

270
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: extra days and get you know, get the All Star

271
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: break and have him start the second half. Clark Schmidt

272
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: picture for the Yankees, is expected to need Tommy John

273
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: surgery as of this recording is getting a second opinion.

274
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: But normally when it appears you.

275
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: Need Tommy John surgery, you usually need Tommy John surgery

276
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: or at least the internal brace procedure that obviously the

277
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: type of procedure will act your recovery and kind of

278
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: like what you look like when you come back. But

279
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: you know it's a your absence pretty much.

280
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 3: No matter what.

281
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: Grayson Rodriguez, your boy is ramping up activity. It sounds

282
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: like he could be back in the second half. What

283
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: do you think any interest are you? Do you want

284
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: the Ools to bring him back as a fantasy manager?

285
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: Are you stashing him? I am stashing me seeing you

286
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: up by the way, I know people don't think I

287
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: ever do that.

288
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: I just tied you up.

289
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: I am stashing him, but I don't have really any expectations.

290
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: It's more like a lottery ticket stash because at this point,

291
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: by the time he is actually pitching again, you know

292
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: they're going to take it easy on the innings. They're

293
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: also not in contention. I mean, they're selling off players

294
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: at least they started this with Baker, So I just

295
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: don't expect to get much out of him. Like again,

296
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: there are a couple of leagues where I am stashing

297
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: him as a like again, like a Highend lottery ticket.

298
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: But and I have him in the keeper leagues. But

299
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting this to be a needle mover in

300
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. I would be very

301
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: surprised if he pitches enough for that to like, regardless

302
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: of how effective he is once he's back, I would

303
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: be surprised if he pitches just enough innings between now

304
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: and the end of the season to be relevant.

305
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: That's probably right.

306
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: How about Louis Heal beginning a rehab assignment this weekend.

307
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: He's kind of been forgotten about this.

308
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: This is a guy you love to talk about, is

309
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: Louis Heal.

310
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: He's the guy I wrote up as like a a

311
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: cell high pretty much the entirety of last year. Yeah,

312
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: I have my own thoughts of Louis Heel, but he

313
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: did have a really good year last year and could

314
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: be really valuable in fantasy, you know, depending on what

315
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 2: he looks like when he came back. I think there

316
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 2: was a lot of smoke and mirrors last year, and

317
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: we'll see what he looks like when he comes back.

318
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: But you know, there are worst pitchers being started by

319
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: fantasy managers right now and being started by the Yankees

320
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: right now, and so if he can work his way

321
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: back in a couple of weeks, you know, he's someone

322
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: who can have a lot of value in the second half.

323
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: And then Hunter Green, your boy without a timetable for return.

324
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: I kind of wrote him up as a how high

325
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year just because of like

326
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: arm injury concerns. He's pretty much injured everything but his

327
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: arm at this point, and he just kind of keeps

328
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: having stepbacks trying to get his way back up.

329
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: This one has sunk up multiple leagues for me where

330
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: I was relying very heavily on him as somebody that

331
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: I expected to take the leap into ace level pitcher

332
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: and he did.

333
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: He did, he looked really good.

334
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: And this extended absence is just it's killing me in

335
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: multiple leagues.

336
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: So I know, it's just such such a dagger that

337
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: it wasn't even the arm. You know, we talked about

338
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: having concerned that, like, you know, he was around pitch

339
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: one hundred and the ninth inning like hitting one two,

340
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: one oh three, and I was like, I gotta be

341
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: I got to be honest, I'm concerned about that arm.

342
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: And then he just you know, he's had other injuries

343
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: like unrelated to the arm. And then the other update

344
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: is that Massa Takta Yoshida is back for the Red Sox.

345
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: He was in the lineup yesterday.

346
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: Not a huge ceiling for him in fantasy, but all

347
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: a pretty high floor, as you know, someone who should

348
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: play mostly every day. The Roadsacks have kind of a

349
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: log jam in their lineup right now, especially when it

350
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: comes to left handed hitters. But I also imagine if

351
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: they continue to play well heading into the you know,

352
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks, I think we're gonna see

353
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: some trades and that that lineup is going to open

354
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: up a little bit. And so he's someone who has

355
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: some value, especially in deeper leagues where you know, like

356
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna have a decent batting average, driving some runs,

357
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: but like not a high ceiling, but also you know,

358
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: again a pretty high floor for a player like Yo Yoshida.

359
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting one. To me as a guy

360
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: to think about stashing or not stashing, but like picking

361
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: up and what what's his availability? Actually, I meant to

362
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: look that up before the show. I can put it

363
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: up now. If you don't have it, I don't have it,

364
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: I'll pull it up. He is. I assume it's obviously

365
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: very low. Yeah, it's five percent on Yahoo, three percent

366
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: on ESPN. So it's pretty much available everywhere.

367
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: Wow, I wonder what I wonder what CBS and CBS

368
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: is probably like forty percent, twelve percent, not even close

369
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: twelve percent.

370
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say CBS is definitely higher. Forty would

371
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: be a lot higher. I would have been surprised by that.

372
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll probably go up this weekend though, especially

373
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: for the weekly leagues. He wouldn't have been out of this.

374
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: He's a he's a good person to flag. I'm glad

375
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: you brought him up. All right, let's dive into our

376
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: bold predictions here. Uh, we've got three each. Did you

377
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: go into a particular order for years or just pick three?

378
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: I just picked three. I tried to I Actually you

379
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: know you got to the sheet first. I you know,

380
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: I will admit I liked yours. I thought you had

381
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: some pretty good ones that one of them I would

382
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: have been one of mine.

383
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: To think if you didn't have.

384
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: It, I'm interesting on the movie. Don't tell me, tell

385
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: me when we get to it, but I'm curious to

386
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: find out which that is. Did you try to go

387
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: particularly bold with yours or more just like because I

388
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: didn't want to do just like regular predictions. I wanted

389
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: to have a degree of bold, but also like unlike

390
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: our because we did a preseason episode of bold predictions.

391
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: And then it's a little more fun because you can

392
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: kind of amend any scenario. It's harder to imagine that

393
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: when you have a more just just shorter timeframe to

394
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: be working with. And also we've seen these players, so

395
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: we know more about what to expect. So I tried

396
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: to be bold with it, and you know, sort of

397
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: tow that line, strike that balance. Did you try to

398
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: be particularly bold or just try to be more accurate?

399
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: I tried to think of predictions that I would feel

400
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 2: good about, and then like see if I felt they

401
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: were bold enough, and if they weren't, I moved on,

402
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: or if they if I thought they were close, maybe

403
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 2: I added a you know, a second piece to it

404
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: to make it seem bolder, and so I tried to

405
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: lean bold because I agree, just a regular like medium

406
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: bold prediction, you know, not the most fun but hopefully

407
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: minor bold.

408
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: Enough years are more like minor all very players specific

409
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: years are more like X number of players are going

410
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: to do this for a couple of years. So we'll

411
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: dived also go ahead, not.

412
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: To really spoil the whole thing, but I did also,

413
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: like you know, you did yours first, and I tried

414
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: to kind of do different types of bold predictions since

415
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: I didn't want to just copy your format.

416
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: All right. I will start off with my first one,

417
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Junior Cameraro, who at the time I put this in

418
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: the here only had twenty one home runs. He now

419
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: it is twenty two because he hit another one yesterday.

420
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: Junior Cameronarow will finish the season with over forty home

421
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: runs and will be a consensus top three third baseman

422
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six drafts. And mayor we have talked

423
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: a lot about how third base is a very difficult

424
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: position and it's not a deep position, but there is

425
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: still a lot of star talent and power at the top,

426
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: So finishing top three even though it's a weaker position

427
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: further down, I do still thinking is difficult to crack into.

428
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: I thought forty home runs was going to come across

429
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: as bold, but if he keeps hitting pretty much every days,

430
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: it's going to look less and less bold by the week.

431
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: So what do you think about this one? Cameronaro forty

432
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: plus homers a consensus top three third basement in twenty

433
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: twenty six drafts.

434
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: When I first read it, I thought you were saying

435
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: consensus top three pick, and I was.

436
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: Like, WHOA that is bold?

437
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: Would be very insanely I would I wouldn't have led

438
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: with that one, and.

439
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 3: That would be your closer. Yeah.

440
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: I I forget exactly what I said about junior Cameron

441
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: Aro coming into the year, but I know I was

442
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 2: below consensus because I thought, you know, I always talk

443
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 2: about drafting at your ceiling, and I thought he was

444
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: being drafted at a ceiling, and he's hitting his ceiling,

445
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 2: maybe even going above what we thought a ceiling is.

446
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: And so I'm gonna have to eat crawl a little

447
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: bit on that one unless he falls off, which it

448
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 2: doesn't look like he's going to. He already has twenty

449
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: two home runs, as you said. His stackcast page is

450
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: a little bit interesting. He has elite elite, elite bat speed,

451
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: one hundred percentile bat speed. He's like sweet spot and

452
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: squared up numbers aren't ideal for someone you want to

453
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: hit forty home runs, but he's already got twenty two,

454
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: so he's obviously you.

455
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 3: Know, working around that.

456
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 2: And so if he can hit twenty two home runs

457
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: despite really poor numbers at sweet spot and squared our percentage,

458
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: if he improves those even a little bit, he can

459
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 2: be even better. And then a lot of his other

460
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 2: metrics are like average to above average, except for like

461
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: you know, chase percentage, which is fine because his k

462
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: percentage is above average and so there's a lot to

463
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: like in his profile. The other thing about his home

464
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: runs is they're sprayed all across the field. There he's

465
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: not just pulling everything. It's pretty much evenly distributed between

466
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: like pull straight away and right field, which is really

467
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: impressive for a young hitter, especially a young power hitter

468
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: like that. To be able to have that kind of

469
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 2: elite approach and that elite power to all fields at

470
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: such a young age is really impressive.

471
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Also, just the fact that the ballpark he plays in,

472
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: I figured would maybe get him a few extra homers,

473
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: you know in the second half of the season. What

474
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: do you less about the forty homers? What do you

475
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: think about him as a top three third basement because

476
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: you can't say number one right because of Jose Ramirez.

477
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: It felt like I could have maybe said he'd be

478
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: the number one third basement off the board besides Jose

479
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: Ramirez as a bullet prediction. But there's a lot of

480
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: names in that conversation. I don't know who you think

481
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: the obvious guy is. You know, of that group of Devers, Machado, Riley,

482
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: all those guys that are behind Jose Ramirez, where you

483
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: see Camerono fitting into that for twenty twenty six drafts.

484
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: But you know, guy like Machado's a little older, Devers

485
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: now in San Francisco, you know, likely to hurt his power.

486
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: Cameron Aro on the upswing, still a really young guy.

487
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a bold enough spot or do

488
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: you think that will end up being you know the case.

489
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: Do you think he will be a top three third baseman.

490
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: I think it's bold, but I don't think it's unachievable,

491
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: especially so he's already according to Finnispurs VBR so he's

492
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 2: four right now in terms of value inter you know,

493
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: value this so far this season. But number two is

494
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: j Haino Suarez, who, no matter what he does the

495
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: second half, he's not going to be a top three

496
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: third basement going into next year.

497
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: He just is who he is, and so.

498
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: As Jose Ramirez, Juannio Suarez, Mana Machado, Cameronaro, Mikel Garcia.

499
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: I also don't think, even though he's having a good year,

500
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: he's not going to be top three. And then Devers

501
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: is six, Austin Riley is seven. It feels like Devers

502
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 2: will be an interesting one. Austin Riley could be an

503
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: interesting one. He didn't have a great first half, but

504
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 2: the Braves have a really light schedule in the second half,

505
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: including a lot of staffs. I was reading. I was

506
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: reading a piece on ESPN about second half schedules and

507
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: they have the Braves have one of the easiest schedules

508
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: and also are protected to face not one of the

509
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: easiest schedules, but I think a very favorable pitching second

510
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: half schedule for hitters like Austin Riley because they're supposed

511
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: to face a lot of like soft lefties. Obviously, anything

512
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 2: could change, so we could see Austin Riley have a

513
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 2: really big second half, which you know could further lock

514
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: him into that top three. But you know it's fair

515
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: to say, especially at his age, that it could be Josierramirez.

516
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: He could be number two, Junior cam An Aaroneck next year.

517
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: But like top top three I think is pretty bold

518
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: because he has to overcome.

519
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: A few nails that are pretty Goodea, not.

520
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: Jose Ramirez, but like Machado, Devers and Riley, you know,

521
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 2: at least to get into that top three.

522
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's go to your first Bowl A prediction.

523
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: My first Bowl prediction is that Hunter Brown makes a

524
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: serious run at the Al say Young Award and enters

525
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six as a top twenty pick. I considered

526
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: making this wins the say Young Award as an even

527
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: Boulder prediction. I do think Terry scouobl is going to

528
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: win the award, and the sportsbooks right now agree.

529
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 3: You know, they have.

530
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 2: School as an overwhelming favorite. He's the best odds you

531
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: can get. Our minus two sixty at DraftKings Fanjul has

532
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: it almost at like they have it at minus four twenty.

533
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: They're the most aggressive and not only do they have

534
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: it at minus four twenty, they don't have anyone else

535
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: better than plus eight to fifty, which is Garrett Crochet.

536
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: And they have Hunter Brown at plus twelve hundred, who

537
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: they have tied with de Gram and so they're considering

538
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: that a long shot. So in that sense, it's really

539
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 2: bold that we can think that he would win the award.

540
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: But I do think there's a path there for Hunter Brown.

541
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: And I think for a couple of reasons, or a

542
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: few reasons. One, I think he's.

543
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: Really really good.

544
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: Two, the Astros have the second easiest schedule in the

545
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: second half, and three the Tigers are cruising in the

546
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 2: easiest division in baseball right now, and there's a really

547
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: good chance that comes September they just start resting Schooble

548
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: and maybe skipping a start, maybe limiting his his you

549
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 2: know how deep he goes into games. And you know,

550
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 2: while the Astros have a decent lead in their division, two,

551
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: I do expect their division to be more competitive in

552
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: the second half, and we could see Hunter Brown close

553
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: the gap on some of those counting stats. And so

554
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: if the Astros, you know, cruise to a division and

555
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: the numbers are really close, I could see voters maybe

556
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: leaning Hunter Brown, who's like anchoring the staff, even though

557
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: it's going to be hard to unseat Schooble giving the

558
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: first half that he had.

559
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't think this is bold enough.

560
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 3: You don't think not even top twenty going in next

561
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: year two?

562
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: No, because I mean right now, rest of season he's

563
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: SP five. I mean, technically he's six, but that's what

564
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: Shohey is listed as number one in UR the way

565
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: we do our rankings, so he's really SP five, and

566
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: it's Scooble who will go ahead of him, Skins who

567
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: I think will go ahead of him. But I mean,

568
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: if people are really worried, they gonna keep not getting

569
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: wins Crochet, who, even though he is totally not suggested

570
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: that this is going to happen, it's hard for me

571
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: to not still just feel like a little nervous about

572
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: injury with him and Wheeler, who's going to be I

573
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: yet another year older, and who's still really good. But

574
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: is you know, Hunter Brown again again one of these

575
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: guys more on the upswing Wheeler another year older. So

576
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: if you're already a top five pitcher, maybe he goes

577
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: ahead of like Wheeler, and maybe Crochet next year two.

578
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: That feels like at least a second round pick, and

579
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: you know that gets in the top twenty four, so

580
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: top twenty is not that far off. And ifool, if

581
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: Scooble were to get hurt, which obviously we don't want

582
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: to happen, but let's say he does. I think Brown

583
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: would be the favorite for SYNG. Like, I know he's

584
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: like in that range with Crochet into Gram right now,

585
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: but like he would get my vote if Schooble was

586
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: off the board right now. So it's not that it's

587
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: like not bold at all, but I don't think it's

588
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: bold enough. I actually think like I would expect him

589
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: as of right now today if we were if I

590
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: had to draft my twenty twenty six team for whatever

591
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: reason nine months early, Hunter Brown would be inside my

592
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: top twenty. Actually, like I'm just really impressed. I don't

593
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: need to see anything else. I am a total believer

594
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: in him, and I think he will finish second in

595
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: cy Young, you know, with only schools dominance standing in

596
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: the way of him winning the award.

597
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll push back on two reasons. I will.

598
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: I will concede your point that maybe it's not bold

599
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: enough because I did. I did struggle, you know, to

600
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 2: see how bold it is. I thought it was bold

601
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: enough for a couple of reasons. One school is such

602
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: an overwhelming favorite for this time right now, and so

603
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 2: that's why I made like I wrote that he's going

604
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: to make a serious run, or we can even make

605
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: it bolder and say he's going to win the AlSi young.

606
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: The other reason is going into the draft next year

607
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: as a top twenty pick. I looked at where he

608
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: went last year. He was going outside the top one hundred.

609
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: He was sp thirty two going in the next year.

610
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: So we're talking about a thirty pitcher jump and an

611
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 2: eighty pick jump in just one year.

612
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 3: And but but I.

613
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: Do agree you feel like that's reason, Like do you

614
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: need to see anything else to feel like he belongs

615
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: among the fantasy aces. I don't.

616
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: I need to see the second half match the first half,

617
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: which it should the numbers say that it should. But

618
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: also like if he just comes out and has like

619
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: an okay second half, is a fourth round pick next year?

620
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: Well, well let me ask you this, where do you

621
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: think the fifth best starting pitcher is going in pick

622
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: in drafts next year? Because I look at the guys

623
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: behind him, I don't really expect like so in terms

624
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: of our rest of season rankings right now, the guys

625
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: immediately behind Brown, I already mentioned the guys in front

626
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: of him. The guys immediately behind him, Logan Webb, Jacob deGrom,

627
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: who I'm still not going to trust health wise, Yamamoto,

628
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: who has been really inconsistent the last month, Max Freed,

629
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: Franber Valdez, Logan Gilbert, Joe Ryan, and Spencer Strider maybe

630
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: like if he has a kind of a dominant return

631
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: to form second half. Makenzie Gore has been good, but

632
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, it still feels like, you know, the team

633
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: that's not gonna win a lot of games. And he's

634
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: also making this huge jump year over year along with

635
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown, you know, Kirby coming back from injury, Dilon

636
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: See has been bad. Like outside of Strider, which of

637
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: those names do you think is gonna go higher than Brown?

638
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: So if we're talking about Brown, let's let's call him

639
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: SP five going into next season. Let's say he goes

640
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: ahead of Wheeler because of age, but you know Stryder's better,

641
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: So just in that range SP five, that feels like

642
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: a second round pick, or do you think SP five

643
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: is going in the fourth round.

644
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 2: I think it'd probably go in the third round, but

645
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: we could see. I guess if it would depend on

646
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: what the hitters look like. But I feel like a

647
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: lot of the you know, in a lot of leagues,

648
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: you'll see one to two pitchers go in the first round,

649
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: and then another two in the second round, and then

650
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: maybe that fifth is the third.

651
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: Couples going in the first round in every league. Next year,

652
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: Skens just maybe if somebody is like, this guy's a stud,

653
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get more wins this year. Crochet

654
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: and Wheeler.

655
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: See that's where that's where we're getting into. Like we're

656
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: talking about one pitcher in the first round, and then

657
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: we're already talking him we're already in the second round

658
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 2: talking about Skens.

659
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I if I'm building a team

660
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: next year, I'll be very happy to get a stud

661
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: hitter in the first and any of those four guys

662
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: in the second and be very happy with the start

663
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,239
Speaker 1: of my team. It's how I feel about it right now.

664
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: There also have been a lot of hitters, like Gunnar

665
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: Henderson is kind of disappointed who was a first round

666
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: pick last year. You know, Jackson Churio has been good.

667
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Did he elevate into the first round so far? I

668
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: don't know that he has. You know, there's been guys

669
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: like that. I mean there's been people who've elevated too,

670
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: though from much lower like Peaker Armstrong and James Wood.

671
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying there's no good hitters, but I

672
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: don't feel like there's an opportunity there. If Hunter Brown

673
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: finishes the way he started this season, I will be

674
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: very comfortable ranking him in the second round. I'll just

675
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: put it like that.

676
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's currently thirty three overall the rest of

677
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: season ranking, so he needs thirt to jump thirteen spots.

678
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: An he will for me at least. Maybe not And

679
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: maybe maybe this is bold from the consensus perspective, but

680
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: from my personal rankings is where I guess maybe I

681
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: find it a little less.

682
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 4: But I'll concede that it's not a bad I'm not

683
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 4: saying it's a bad best over here.

684
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a bad pick by you, or

685
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: that it's not bold. I just don't think it's bold enough.

686
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: Is like I would have said, like, oh he wins

687
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: the cy Young or something he'd like to make it

688
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: really feel like whoa Like you're going out on a limb.

689
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: Here, But I just need to win the next three

690
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: cy youngs.

691
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I do think it's a good pick. I don't

692
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to sound too negative on

693
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: and He's been a really fun story this year, so

694
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad we mentioned him. I want to also mentioned

695

704
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: do this on purpose, but another ray because I had

705
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: Camonaro is my first one. I'm going to double down.

706
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: I picked this something similar to this before the season,

707
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: and I wanted to run it back before the season.

708
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 1: I think I think I said Chandler Simpson would lead

709
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball and stolen bases despite not starting the

710
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,719
Speaker 1: season in the big leagues. I didn't actually look it up.

711
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: I think that's what the official prediction was. I am

712
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: now saying that he is going to win the Major

713
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: League Baseball Stolen based title and no one will be

714
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: within fifteen stolen bases of his final total. And that

715
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: is despite the fact that he missed multiple stretches at

716
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season due to them sending him

717
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: back down surprisingly in the middle of the spring. So

718
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: when he's going to win the title and no one

719
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: will be within fifteen stolen bases of his final If

720
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: you look at the rankings right now, which I had

721
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: up and they're now reloading for me, he is tied

722
00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: for fourth, behind only Caballero, O'Neil, crue Oz, and Pieker Armstrong,

723
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: who have thirty one, twenty eight, and twenty seven respectively.

724
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: Chandler Simpson is tied with Jose Ramirez and Bobby Wit

725
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: with twenty five, so he's six off the leader. And

726
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: this is in way fewer games the number of games

727
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: played for all the guys around him seventy three, eighty two,

728
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: ninety two, eighty eight, ninety four, ninety one, ninety three.

729
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: He's played fifty and he is in this spot. All

730
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: he has to do is get on base often enough

731
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: to steal, and he is zamabase percentage is over three forty,

732
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: his batting average three ten. He's been caught six times.

733
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised by but they let him keep running.

734
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: He's going he's going to no pun intend to run

735
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: away with this thing, and I think, just blow everybody

736
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: else out of the water. What do you think about

737
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: this one?

738
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: So your bold prediction in the preseason was that he

739
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: would lead MLB and stolen bases. I do think you

740
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: need the fifteen number there to make it bold enough.

741
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: I think if you just say leads the league and

742
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: stolen bases, I don't think it's bold enough.

743
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: I totally agree. That's what I was trying to decide

744
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: what the right number was. Is like, originally I wanted.

745
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 3: To go at least ten.

746
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: I think I originally I got crazy with it, and

747
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: now I was like twenty. But I was like, no,

748
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: I actually like, there's it only takes one other person

749
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: to run a lot. Twenty's probably too much.

750
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: Ten.

751
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: I was like, that feels right. I was considered maybe twelve,

752
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: but I wanted to be really like, again, this is

753
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be bold, so I had I thought fifteen

754
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: was it was a number I landed on, but I.

755
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 3: Think twenty would have to be the preseason number. There's

756
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: not enough.

757
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: I don't think there's enough time left to get twenty

758
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: up on someone who're already behind.

759
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 3: The copyer is running a.

760
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: Lot too, so yeah, but I mean he's he steals

761
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: a base ever the other day except whenever he if

762
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: whenever I bet on him, he does not steal a base.

763
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: So you can just follow along with me on the

764
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: betting pros app to know when he's not going to

765
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: steal a base.

766
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: Well, I need I need him to help me overtake

767
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: fits in the steels category and our playoff matchup in

768
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: our work league. So if you could stop betting on him,

769
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: that would be great.

770
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 3: I'll see what I can do.

771
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, so do you think this one like you?

772
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: So you agree it's bold? Do you think it'll happen?

773
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 2: I think he will as long as he stays up.

774
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 2: I think he'll lead the league and selling bass. I

775
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: don't know that he'll get fifteen up on cabrierro or PCA.

776
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: Okay, well, it's supposed to be bold, so we'll see

777
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: how that one plays out. I've obviously been a big

778
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: Chandler Simpson fan from since the spring, and I've been

779
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: really happy with how it's paid out when he's been

780
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: actually up in the big leagues.

781
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: So the biggest I think this is how we got

782
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: into our one of our many Simpsons conversations with you

783
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: being such a Chandler Simpson fan but not actually watching

784
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: the Simpsons.

785
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: You know. It's another thing this just came up on

786
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: The Football Show with Jake Seely and Tom Strachan, is

787
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: that it's not Simpsons, but it's not a very classic

788
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: thing that I have no knowledge or experience of. It

789
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: came up on the show earlier this week that I've

790
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: never had taco bell in my life, and we're now

791
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: asking listeners to tell me what menu item I should

792
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: try at taco Bell from my first I've never even been.

793
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: I've never said foot inside of a taco bell? Is

794
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: that to you more surprising and like a bigger you

795
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: know gap in my experience? Is it? Is it never

796
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: getting taco bell or never seeing the Simpsons.

797
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: Definitely never seeing the Simpsons, because here is a shocking

798
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: thing for you.

799
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 3: Neither have I. So I've never been inside of one

800
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 3: or had taco.

801
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: Let's definitely then get the listeners to let us know

802
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: on this show what menu. Maybe at our next team

803
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: trip we'll try. Although now at this point it's like

804
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: I'm in my thirties, I might as well just keep

805
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: not going. And you know, well that's having what I.

806
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 2: Always say for me. I don't know if you know

807
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: this fun fact about me. I've never had a soup

808
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: or a salad in my life and I'm approaching forty,

809
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 2: and so I'm like, why start now?

810
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: Seeh Actually I don't believe that you've never had like

811
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: remain lettuce.

812
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: With ask my mom and my wife.

813
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: They'll confirm, like a side salad at a steakhouse.

814
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 3: Never I wouldn't even I don't play hear it.

815
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: There's no way that's true. The soup I believe, even

816
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: though it's it is surprising, but I believe. I don't know.

817
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: Everyone else can't believe the soup. They believe the salad,

818
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 3: not the soup.

819
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: You've never like been out of barbecue and there's like

820
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: a bowl of salad that you just like had a

821
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: very small, like one tongs worth of picking it up

822
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: out of the bowl. You've never have you ever had

823
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: romaine lettuce.

824
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 3: No, that's it.

825
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe that.

826
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: I'm an incredibly picky eater.

827
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: I don't eat.

828
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm an incredibly picky eater, and I've had salad. I

829
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: just take stuff out of it that I don't want.

830
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't have like, you know, cherry tomatoes in it

831
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: and other stuff that's gross to me. But I'll have

832
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: lettuce and croutons and caesar dressing, which is very tasty

833
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: by the way, It's not like a gross thing if

834
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: you put the right dressing on it.

835
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 2: I don't like to find a topic for me and

836
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: you to launch a different podcast all about these things

837
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: that like we like or don't like it. You know,

838
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 2: it's got to be something that's like all encompassing that

839
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: we can have a wide array of topics but also.

840
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 3: Not just vague enough that no one will listen to it.

841
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: But no, yeah, it's weird. The podcast has got to

842
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: be something about like just our gaps and knowledge. Like

843
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: every week it's like you've never seen this movie, you've

844
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: never watched the show, you've never had a salad Like

845
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: that is I think the show. I still don't believe you,

846
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: and I will never believe you that you've never had

847
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: a salad. So we can move on.

848
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 3: Call my wife and get her on air.

849
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: Heir, Yeah, what's your next bold prediction?

850
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: That worm will step inside a taco bell in twenty

851
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: twenty five?

852
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 3: Where are we in the sheet?

853
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 2: So my next bullep is it prediction is that five

854
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: players will finish with fifty plus home runs this season

855
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: and ten we'll finish with. I wrote this backwards with

856
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: forty plus home runs.

857
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 3: I wrote our age.

858
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: I was going to ask pretty what our h diood for?

859
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: Is that a new age?

860
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 3: It's like, have you ever seen the movie Hook?

861
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: Probably not, probably when I was younger, but I don't

862
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: remember it well. But I think so.

863
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: When he's playing baseball with the pirates, they're, you know,

864
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: obviously he's away from home and he's you know, he's

865
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: been kidnapped and he's playing baseball with the pirates and

866
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: they're trying to say home run jack, but in the

867
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 2: outfield they spell out run.

868
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 3: Home jack, run home jack. Run home jack. Just makes

869
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 3: them more homesick.

870
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: So it's forty plus run homes and so in twenty

871
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 2: twenty four, two players hit fifty plus home runs and

872
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: four hit forty plus, So I'm predicting a jump from

873
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: two to five and four to ten.

874
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 3: Is that bold enough for you?

875
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,479
Speaker 1: Where? Do you have names in mind? I do, because

876
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: like I already picked a player here today. To me,

877
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the forty home run it is bold.

878
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's not bold. I don't think. I

879
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: think the fifty home run more bold, the fifty bold.

880
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: The fifty. Yeah, the fifty home run one I think

881
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: is more bold than the forty one. Like ten finishing

882
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 1: with forty is bold, five finishing with fifty is like, oh,

883
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: that's a bold prediction. To me, I need to name

884
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: all the forties. But do you have it? Do you

885
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: have a picks in mind for the fifties?

886
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 3: I did.

887
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: I actually thought the forty was Boulder because bolder, more bold, Boulder.

888
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: I guess, just like growing up the era of baseball

889
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: I did, forty was more dual. I know it's a

890
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: different era in now, but it's sort of still ingrained

891
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: in me that like forty is doable in a good year,

892
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: fifty feels special.

893
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: So here, I do have the names in mind, and

894
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: I was looking at the stats when I came up

895
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 2: with and that's why I came up with these exact numbers.

896
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 2: I came up with five for fifty because three players

897
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 2: already have thirty. So cal Raley has thirty six, Aaron

898
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 2: Judge has thirty four, and Otani has thirty one. I

899
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: think those three are locks for fifty. Kylee Schwarber already

900
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 2: has twenty nine. He's he could definitely within Chatney distance

901
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 2: of fifty. You Hano Suarez has twenty nine as well,

902
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 2: and so Suarez can go hot and cold. He may

903
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: not get there, But I think those are just five

904
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 2: players already on pace for fifty who who could realistically

905
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 2: get there that are power hitters after them, say a

906
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 2: Suzukise twenty five. I think he's unlikely to get to fifty,

907
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 2: but he's at least not that far off the pace.

908
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 2: If he has a hot month, he's within shot existence.

909
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 2: After there, it's James Wood and Peter Armstrong at twenty

910
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: four and twenty three.

911
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: Would it totally unlike? Would it totally stun you if

912
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: cow Raley falls off a bit in the second half,

913
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: just like catching every day like this is so like

914
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: Judge and know Tani, this isn't surprising. It's so surprising

915
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: for him like, I mean, he could have ten in

916
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: the second half and he's still finished with forty six

917
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: this season. But you know, it wouldn't shock me if

918
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: he falls short. I don't think you would predict he

919
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: makes it.

920
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 2: But it's what I was thinking. Even if he falls short,

921
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 2: I think he gets fourteen and hits fifty. Yeah, okay,

922
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 2: not falls short.

923
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: If he falls yeah, yeah, I think.

924
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: You know it regresses. Yeah, I assume yeah.

925
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: Because he's already got thirty six. He's already so close

926
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: and he doesn't look like someone who's going to fall off.

927
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 2: Although you know we'll get to the home run Derby draft,

928
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: but I don't love him being in the home run Derby. Well,

929
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: and so those are the players.

930
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: I think, go ahead, No, you can finish your thought.

931
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 2: Okay, So those are the players I think that are

932
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 2: within fifty. And I think fifty is more like lee

933
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: than the forty number hitting because forty. So we have

934
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 2: those five Raley, Judge, Otani, Scherbert Suarroz. I think are

935
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 2: their locks for at least forty looking at the forty

936
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 2: number and then could realistically get to fifty, and then

937
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: to get to ten for forty, we have, say Sezuki

938
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 2: A twenty five, James war at twenty four, Pika Romstrom

939
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 2: twenty three, Riley Green twenty two, your Boy Junior Camerenero

940
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: at twenty two.

941
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 3: I think that gives us one, two.

942
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: Three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine ten. So those

943
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 2: players all have twenty two or more home runs, which

944
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: means they're just about on pace for forty. After that

945
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 2: at Swan Sodo Pete A Lonzo could get realistically get

946
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 2: to forty. Coryman, Carroll Spencer, Torklesen Byron buckson no shot.

947
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: But there's not a whole lot of leeway there in

948
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: terms of players who are like on base for forty

949
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 2: or within shouting distance of forty that if two or

950
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 2: three of those fall off pace, we're not getting ten.

951
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 2: Whereas you know for the for the fifty, there's five

952
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 2: players well on pace for fifty that I think could

953
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 2: all get there.

954
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: So the reason I was about to move on was

955
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,479
Speaker 1: just a transition to my next pick is actually about

956
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: cal Raley, so it kind of ties in nicely. I

957
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 1: have him winning American League MVP, so clearly I don't

958
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: think he's going to fall off too much. He's currently

959
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: is the one, by the way that you agreed with

960
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: m h He's currently plus six hundred. Judge is a

961
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: minus fourteen hundred. This is as of when I looked yesterday,

962
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: and you can see consensus betting odds on bettingpros dot

963
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: com if you want to check him out for all

964
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: these types of awards. I am taking this for a

965
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. Number one, I think the fact that

966
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: he's a catcher matters like and a good catcher, right,

967
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: like a good catcher.

968
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 3: He's not just a catcher, he's a really good.

969
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: Kitcher, so that matters like he is adding more value

970
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: defensively than Judge, even though Judge is good in the outfield.

971
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: And it's also I just think fun for voters, Like

972
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: I think if it's not close, they're not just going

973
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: to hand it to them. But if it's really close,

974
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: I think voters will be excited and interested to give

975
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: cal Raley an MVP as opposed to just another one

976
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: for Judge. Judge is having such a great season that

977
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: it is really hard to go against him, So I

978
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: get why the I think the odds are too there's

979
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: too big of a gap, But I get why there

980
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 1: is a big gap, Like Judge is having a great year.

981
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: But if cal Rally finishes with more home runs than

982
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: Judge as a good defensive catcher and is close enough

983
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: in the other categories, not only do I think he's

984
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: a chance of winning, like he would get my vote

985
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: even if Judge has the better overall offensive season, I

986
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: just think what he's doing as a catcher is so

987
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: impressive and I kind of hope he wins. So I

988
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: do think this is bold given what the odds currently

989
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: look like. Again, Judge of minus fourteen hundred saying he

990
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 1: won't win is something. Now, if Judge were to get hurt,

991
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: which has happened before, cal Raley's odds, I mean, if

992
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: it's a serious injury to Judge all of a sudden,

993
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: cal Raley is like, you know, minus three thousand or something,

994
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: So like this is a little bit that could help

995
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: if that happens in terms of prediction, but also even

996
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: if they both stay healthy, like if Judge merely has

997
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: a great season and not in all times you know,

998
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: offensive season, and Raleigh continues the way he started this year. Again,

999
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: I just think the gaps too wide.

1000
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's bold because the gaps wide I

1001
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 2: was interested to see when I was looking at this

1002
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 2: that Aaron Judge is more of a favorite to win

1003
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: MVP than Scooble is to win the Cy Young, which

1004
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 2: I thought was pretty interesting. I thought Scooble would be

1005
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: pretty well ahead there, even though he's got a couple

1006
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 2: people at his heels in the AL. The MVP race

1007
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: is Aaron Judge and Cal Raley and then nobody well.

1008
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: And it feels like, to your point, Raleigh is a

1009
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: better second option right now than the second best pitcher

1010
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: in the American League behind Schooble, Like whether it's Crochet

1011
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: or Hunter Brown or de Gram, I think Raleigh is

1012
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: better for MVP than those guys are for cy Young

1013
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: as of right now.

1014
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. I agree.

1015
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: I also think we and I don't want to like

1016
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 2: come up as a hater and downplay the year that

1017
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge is having, but we are kind of just

1018
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 2: talking about like he's having this incredible year because he

1019
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 2: came out of the gate. He had four hundred for

1020
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 2: two months and no one's ever done this with this

1021
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 2: kind of power before.

1022
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: He did kind of take a step back in June.

1023
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 2: He had a two fifty three in June, and we

1024
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 2: just saw him have a really tough you know, week

1025
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: and a half as also, the Yankees are falling off.

1026
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 2: So there's the other thing. Not that it like is

1027
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 2: always the end all be all, but for a while

1028
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: he was a lock to win MVP because the Yankees

1029
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 2: look like they were cruising to the American League East title.

1030
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 2: Now they're falling back and it's almost it's a you know,

1031
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 2: three or four team race in the American League East.

1032
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 2: When it looks like the Blue Jays are the favorite,

1033
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 2: there's a world. I don't think they will, but this

1034
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: is a world with the Yankees fall out all the

1035
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: way out of the playoffs. And if if the Yankees

1036
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 2: kind of fall of the playoffs or maybe just squeak

1037
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 2: in as like the last wild card and the Mariners

1038
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 2: also get in as a wildcard carried by cal Rawley,

1039
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: I think that carries a lot of weight with voters too,

1040
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,959
Speaker 2: and so and you know, I agree with what you said.

1041
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 2: I think one of the biggest overlooked factors is that

1042
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: cal Rawley is a really good catcher. On top of this,

1043
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 2: you know, incredible offensive season, Like no one's ever had

1044
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 2: an offensive season as a catcher like this before.

1045
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: It's just never happened.

1046
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 2: And so I do think we you know, if Judge's

1047
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 2: numbers like he's he was batting four hundred, he's now batting,

1048
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 2: it's gonna star ridiculous to say like he's no batting

1049
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 2: all the way down to three sixty, Like, oh, god forbid,

1050
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 2: he's betting three sixty, expect the batting average three sixteen.

1051
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: What if his batting average comes down to like three fifteen,

1052
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: three twenty and cal Rawley hits three or three eighty

1053
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 2: two eighty, and those numbers all of a sudden look

1054
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 2: much more similar, and cal raleys a catcher, and Judge

1055
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 2: already is one MVP, and we know all about voter fatigue.

1056
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: I think there's a realistic shot that cal Rally wins

1057
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 2: this award, even though the odds say no way right now.

1058
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: One interesting thing is that I don't think War does

1059
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: a great job of capturing the value of catchers, and

1060
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: so like Judge's War is like one and a half

1061
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: to two wins higher depending on where you're looking, I

1062
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: don't think that's reflective of the actual value they're bringing

1063
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: to the team. Like I do think the fact that

1064
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: Rally's a catcher means that should be way closer, if

1065
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: not even like slightly in Col's favor. Truthfully, I agree. Yeah,

1066
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: we're agreement on that one. Give me your last bulletpdiction here.

1067
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: My last one is that we get no twenty plus

1068
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 2: win pitchers for the second year in a row. And

1069
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 2: I will add the caveat for that that if we

1070
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 2: don't know if you just heard that thunder behind.

1071
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: Me, but it actually I usually don't. Usually when I'm

1072
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: on shows and somebody says, oh, did you hear that

1073
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: behind me, I'm like, no, I actually didn't. You're good,

1074
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: I did hear that one.

1075
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 2: There are crazy storms here in Georgia. That's when I

1076
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 2: mean you were talking before you may have seen me,

1077
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 2: like look behind me. I think as you were talking,

1078
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I just heard like like it

1079
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 2: just started like pouring out of nowhere.

1080
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: And that the Norfolk Tides the Oriol Striple a affiliate.

1081
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: A picture got called for a bock because there was

1082
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: a crazy clap of thunder and lightning. I don't think

1083
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: it was lightning because they would have paused the game.

1084
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: But it was like mid uh, you know, in his

1085
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: pitching rotation, he like mid delivery. Sorry, I was having

1086
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: a brain from mid delivery. There was this huge like

1087
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: rolling thunder and everybody you can see in the video

1088
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: kind of like stops. But technically speaking it was a

1089
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: box and the umpire called it and a runner on

1090
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: third scored because of it.

1091
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 3: That's wild.

1092
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1093
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we get some crazy storms down here, especially because

1094
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 2: I live kind of at higher elevation, not like your elevation,

1095
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 2: but like you know, in terms of the surrounding area

1096
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 2: I've you know, I live kind of like on like

1097
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 2: a hill mountain kind of area, and so we get

1098
00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 2: crazy storms that like waiting the jump me out of bed. Anyway,

1099
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 2: back to the prediction, the predictions that no, we get

1100
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: no twenty plus web pitchers for the second year in

1101
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: a row, and not including twenty twenty. We had at

1102
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 2: least one in every season since twenty seventeen until last year,

1103
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 2: and so I'm predicting it to not happen again for

1104
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 2: the second year in a row.

1105
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: What do you attribute that to? Is it something with

1106
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: modern approaches to pitching? I mean, obviously guys aren't going

1107
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: to step into games and all that stuff, but you know,

1108
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: even within the last five years, it feels like maybe

1109
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: a trend. If it's two in a row after having

1110
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: one for so many years in a row. Do you

1111
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: attribute that to anything in particular.

1112
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: It's got to be you know, it's got to be

1113
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 2: usage pictures, not you know, getting more time off, not

1114
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,399
Speaker 2: going to steep into games. You know, you don't want

1115
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: to say it's like the openers, because you know, like

1116
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 2: the bulk relievers get wins and stuff, but like that's

1117
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 2: also you know, just like one fewer start for you know,

1118
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 2: for the kind of like mid level pitchers, or we're

1119
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: not going to see like the Rick Porcellos of the

1120
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 2: world win twenty two games anymore. But even going back

1121
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 2: when when I was looking back at previous years, in

1122
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 2: recent years, we've had like exactly one. And then when

1123
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: I started getting back to twenty seventeen and earlier, it

1124
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: was like, okay, now there's three, now there's two, Now

1125
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 2: there's three, and there were more, and now we're getting

1126
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 2: like one or none. And then for last year we

1127
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 2: got none, and I think it's possible this you know

1128
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 2: this year we get none again. And just to give

1129
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 2: you an idea of where we are in terms of wins,

1130
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: Max Freed has eleven, Scooble has ten. But I'm also

1131
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 2: kind of thinking again if their cruising at the Division

1132
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 2: in September. Maybe he you know, they skip him a

1133
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 2: few times and they really pull back on his innings

1134
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 2: because the Tigers aren't in the playoffs every year, and

1135
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 2: so they want this almost automatic win pitcher to be

1136
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 2: as fresh as he can go to in the postseason.

1137
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: So Scooble is the interesting one because of the point

1138
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: I was about to make, which is there's also not

1139
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 1: a lot of elite teams there. I believe the Tigers

1140
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: are the only team with a winning percentage over six

1141
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: hundred right now. So like your team needs to be

1142
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: winning games a lot for you to get twenty wins

1143
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: in a season. But Scooble is the best pitcher in

1144
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: baseball is also on the best team in baseball by

1145
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: winning percentage right now, So he is the clear in

1146
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: my opinion choice. Like, if somebody is going to ruin

1147
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: this prediction for you, it will certainly be Scooble. I

1148
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: would think we talked about before the season two the

1149
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: lack of two hundred inning pitchers, and that plays into

1150
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: this as well.

1151
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have that was I was looking at that

1152
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 2: a little bit when when I got into the wins.

1153
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: This is a fun one and I will admit, maybe

1154
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 2: you'll get it because I've thrown some trivia your way

1155
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 2: and you've nailed them recently. But if you asked me

1156
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 2: this question and gave me fifty guesses, I don't think

1157
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 2: I would get it right. I would probably get one

1158
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 2: of them right, but not two of them. So are

1159
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 2: you able to tell me who the last two twenty

1160
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 2: wins starting pitchers were? There was one in twenty twenty

1161
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 2: three and one in twenty twenty two.

1162
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess no. I'm back for whatever reason, I

1163
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: feel like I'm better at order trivia than im recent trivia. Yeah,

1164
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: you said one in twenty you say so, but the

1165
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: ones in the twenties basically is what you're asking and

1166
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: it was two different people, right and people. I'm sure

1167
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: there's an obvious name that is. I'm just like, oh crap, duh,

1168
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 1: that was definitely it, and I'm just forgetting nothing comes

1169
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: to mind off the top of the dumb I'm trying

1170
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 1: to run through all the teams quickly in my head,

1171
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: like who I would be overlooking here?

1172
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 3: So I'll give you a hint.

1173
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 2: One of them is like a top ten guy that

1174
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 2: you would say like, okay, that makes sense, like this

1175
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 2: guy is you know, the other guy is a deep cut.

1176
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not gonna pull the deep cut. I mean

1177
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to think, like, did did Wheeler get

1178
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: to it? Or did Free to get to it with

1179
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: the Braves? No, I don't think, Well Gilbert didn't when

1180
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: he had his two hundred innings because I was last year.

1181
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: I need to have more hints? Did Strider Strider twenty

1182
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: twenty three? So Strider did? Who's a deep cut? I'm

1183
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: not going to get it? Well, do you want to

1184
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: give me a hinter.

1185
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 2: I'll give you another hand. This it's such a deep

1186
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,720
Speaker 2: cut that this might still not do it. So Spencer

1187
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 2: Strider was one. They're both braves. Twenty twenty three was

1188
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 2: a Brave, twenty twenty two was a Brave.

1189
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: Twenty two Brave and it wasn't Freed No or Strider.

1190
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 2: I don't even know where this guy's pitching now. If

1191
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 2: he is pitching, maybe he's hurt.

1192
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 3: Let me see.

1193
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: Wow, I am struggling to I'm going to get my

1194
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: brain as I've gotten older. Like I said, long term trivia,

1195
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: I have a pretty good memory for, but anything recent

1196
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: like just doesn't stick in my brain. Anymore as I've

1197
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: gotten into my servies.

1198
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 3: This pitcher.

1199
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 2: He's now twenty nine, he's now on the Royals. He's injured.

1200
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 2: He was recently injured at Triple A further Royals at

1201
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 2: eight twenty nine.

1202
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: I feel like, as soon as you say it, I'm

1203
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, duh, I should have gotten that.

1204
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: But who is it?

1205
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: No, I think you're gonna be like, really, he won

1206
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty First, let me see how many games he won.

1207
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 2: I'm spending way too much time on this, but it's

1208
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 2: so fun that it's we.

1209
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: Do have a whole home run derby draft to get to.

1210
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 3: Okay, let's gay.

1211
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: So he won twenty one games in twenty twenty two.

1212
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 2: Kyle Wright won twenty one game twenty two.

1213
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kyle Wright.

1214
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: I have no recollection of that at all. I mean

1215
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: I have a recollection of Kyle Right. I have no

1216
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: recollection of him getting twenty one wins. That's just completely

1217
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: directly out.

1218
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 2: Of twenty one and five with a three point one

1219
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 2: nine years the.

1220
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: Braves was really good, So like, I'm not surprised it's

1221
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: a brave, but holy cow, do I not remember that?

1222
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 1: That's hilarious.

1223
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 2: That's why I want to be like, I got to

1224
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 2: bring this up, Kyle Wright.

1225
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: No way, that's great. All right, you have some bonus

1226
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: bold trade predictions. I do want to make sure we

1227
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 1: have time for our home run derby draft. So do

1228
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: you want to quickly run through these?

1229
00:54:58,520 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we get to say real coup. We don't have

1230
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 3: this up on them.

1231
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 2: But I just I was looking while I was making

1232
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 2: my bold predictions, I wanted to I was looking at

1233
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 2: like trade ideas for bold predictions, and I was like,

1234
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 2: these are all so specific. I don't want to spend

1235
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 2: time talking about them, but I throw it on bonus

1236
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 2: bold trade predictions that we can just run through. I

1237
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 2: had Jared duran Is involved in a three team trade.

1238
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: Sandiel contre Is traded to the Blue Jays, Johanno Suarez

1239
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 2: traded to the Yankees, Seth Lugo traded to the Astros.

1240
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: Zach Gallen also traded to the Blue Jays, Ryan O'Hearn

1241
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 2: to the Mariners, Marcelo Zuna to the Tigers, and then

1242
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Class to the Phillies. Those are my bold trade predictions.

1243
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 2: Hopefully they all come back, or they all come to

1244
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: fruition and we come back to this video like this

1245
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 2: guy is a legend.

1246
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 3: He just nailed all these predictions.

1247
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: I really liked the Lugo one to the Astros.

1248
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 2: He felt like a fit for them as the kind

1249
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 2: of picture they would want to go out.

1250
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Class to the Phillies obviously too, just you know,

1251
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: elite closer, good team. It will be fun. But yeah,

1252
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: those are good. I also wanted to do or you

1253
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: wanted to do World Series predictions, so you put yours

1254
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: in first, I'll let you go first.

1255
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, throw back only, but goodie Phillies versus Blue Jays.

1256
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 2: I think the Phillies have a real shot. Is one

1257
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 2: of the better teams in the West, and I think

1258
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 2: that the are in the NL, and I think the

1259
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 2: AL is wide open, and I think the Blue Jays

1260
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,280
Speaker 2: could get hot, especially if they add a couple of pitchers.

1261
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 1: The AL being wide open definitely was like very apparent,

1262
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: and trying to come up with us, I went with

1263
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: the Astros just obviously the organization has been there a bunch.

1264
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: There's a degree of trust in how they're going to

1265
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: perform in October, as opposed to teams that really haven't

1266
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 1: been there before. I don't like both of us didn't

1267
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: pick the Tigers. It feels like I don't know that

1268
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: I would call them again. No pun intended a paper Tiger,

1269
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 1: but I don't look at this team and feel like, oh,

1270
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, they're going to be the

1271
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: clear best team in baseball like they have in the

1272
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: first half. So I wanted to get away from picking them,

1273
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: and there wasn't a really clear other choice, like the

1274
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: Blue Jays are really hot right now. The Yankees. I

1275
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 1: don't believe in the Astros. It's more like organizational trust.

1276
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: The fact that Hunter Brown has become an ace really

1277
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: helps in my opinion. And again like guys like Cozl

1278
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: TV have been there before. So I didn't love any

1279
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: American League pick. And then the Dodgers, Like I know,

1280
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: we're all disappointed by the Dodgers relative to expectation before

1281
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: the season. This is still the outside the Tigers. This

1282
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: is the best record in baseball right like it's even

1283
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: despite the struggles and guys underperforming and getting injured. This

1284
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: is an excellent organization that has so much talent they

1285
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: can easily add more at the trade deadline if they want.

1286
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna get healthier, like you know, the Cubs are.

1287
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: I think legitimately good. The Phillies are really good. Phillies

1288
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: probably would have been my pick if I didn't go Dodgers.

1289
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 1: I like other teams than NL. There's a few teams

1290
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: the NL that would have been my choice in the AL,

1291
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: but I just couldn't get away from the Dodgers. Like

1292
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: I just and it's boring right to say Astros Dodgers.

1293
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: We've seen this recently, but I I just kind of

1294
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: feel like that's what it's gonna end up being.

1295
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just didn't want to pick Dodgers. I, you know,

1296
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 2: I thought that was more chalking. And I think the

1297
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 2: Phillies have the right kind of balance to pull it up,

1298
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 2: especially if they add like a right handed bat at

1299
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 2: the deadline. They have a really good rotation, you know.

1300
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 2: If they can just roll Wheeler out there, you canad

1301
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 2: he can go toe to toe with anyone in the playoffs.

1302
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. If you're struggling with lineup decisions, our lineup assistant

1307
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: MLB my playbook to set your winning lineup today. All right, Mayor,

1308
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap things up with our home run Derby draft.

1309
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: We did this last year. I forget one. Actually was

1310
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: it me? Actually I genuinely don't remember who won.

1311
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 3: I think it was you.

1312
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: But what we're gonna do pretty sure is we're going

1313
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: to count this towards our two start picture contest because

1314
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: we can't really do one this week because nobody's making

1315
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: two starts with only half a week of games. So

1316
00:58:58,080 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: we're going to make this count because that's I believe

1317
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: we did that last year. H Garrett Crochet obviously crushed

1318
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: crushed Chase Perns the last completed week. So it's all

1319
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: tied up at five five and one. We have one tie.

1320
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: We each have five wins. I assume you're not going

1321
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: to push back too hard on the Crechet beating Chase

1322
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: pers given that terrible start.

1323
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 3: I actually have.

1324
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to make this any longer, but I

1325
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 2: actually have a confession to make what so I believe

1326
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,919
Speaker 2: last year we also counted their home on derby towards

1327
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 2: the two start picture competition as well right, yeah, So

1328
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: I'm also pretty sure that you won. And I think

1329
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 2: when I was recalculating everything at the end, there was

1330
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 2: no note about you winning their home on derby, and

1331
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 2: I think that was the extra point that was miscalculated.

1332
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 2: So I think you won last year's competition.

1333
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: I think definitely. I told you from the beginning that

1334
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: I won. I said this all off season and the

1335
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: beginning of this season that I didn't know what you

1336
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: were talking about that I so I.

1337
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 2: Was just looking at like the starts and I was like, no,

1338
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 2: it's dead even but the extra point is the home

1339
00:59:58,120 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 2: run derby contest.

1340
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: By the way, if you don't watch YouTube, I was

1341
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: just clapping. That's what that noise was. If you can't

1342
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: tell through audio, I don't know how well it comes through.

1343
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 3: But was it more thunder on my own?

1344
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh man, yea, we got to get like a

1345
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: championship belt or something. I told you that I won

1346
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: that I I knew it because I was I thought

1347
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: I had clinched it with like a week left. I

1348
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: was like, there's no way you can catch up. But

1349
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: that's that's really really excellent.

1350
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 3: That's what happened.

1351
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: I think I think that that makes total sense. That

1352
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: totally adds up. So, by the way, I didn't read

1353
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: the comments to see people called me out on this

1354
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: because I was afraid they were going to Paul Skeen's

1355
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: not a two start pitcher this week. I usually look

1356
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: at fan tracks just because it's really easy in one

1357
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: of my leagues to see when they've highlighted two start pictures.

1358
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: He was listed as one for this week for some reason.

1359
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: He made a start on Sunday, so clearly he was

1360
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: not going to be a two start pitcher this week.

1361
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: So I pivoted off the air, and I messaged before

1362
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: anybody had made start mayor about this that I pivoted

1363
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: to Christopher Sanchez, so he has my pick for this

1364
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: current week that we're in, not Paul Skeen's, because again,

1365
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: for some reason, fan tracks had it listed wrong, and

1366
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: I did zero effort to corroper right that they were

1367
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: going to be correct.

1368
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 3: So, yeah, your mistake not using the Fantasy pros tools.

1369
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 1: Yes it is my mistake. Christopher Sanchez vers Hunter Brown.

1370
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: Is this current week that we're in all tied up

1371
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 1: five to five and one, and yes this will count

1372
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: towards it. And I think what we did last year

1373
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: is total homers? Or did we just give it to

1374
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: whoever picked the winner?

1375
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest, I don't remember.

1376
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Do you have a preference what we do? Would you?

1377
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: Would you rather go total home runs drafted or something

1378
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 1: where like, you know, you get a point for making

1379
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: to the semis, three points for winning it at all or

1380
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: something like that. What would you rather do?

1381
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,959
Speaker 2: I think I think maybe we did total home runs.

1382
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 2: Let's just do total home runs because if your players advance,

1383
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna get there.

1384
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:47,919
Speaker 1: You're going to get more rons anyway. Yeah, I agree,

1385
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: all right, we'll do total home runs now super annoyingly,

1386
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: we don't have the full field, so the surprise final

1387
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: person will be drafted. So we each have a team

1388
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: of four. But you're just getting to take a sing.

1389
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: You don't know who it's gonna be, So that baby

1390
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: that'll be the last pick or baby you say, I

1391
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: want to, you know, be bold, this is a bold

1392
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: predictions episode and take a chance so we can we

1393
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: can really do whatever you want with it. I think

1394
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: since I won last year, I should get to go first.

1395
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't feel strongly about that. If you feel differently,

1396
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm okay going second, But do. Are you okay with that?

1397
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 2: That's fine by me, but real quick, so we we

1398
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 2: know seven contestants with an asterix on Buckston.

1399
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: Right, yes, So the contestants are eight total, Ronald Acunya,

1400
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: James Wood, O'Neil Cruz Junior, Cameronaro, cal Rawley, Byron Buckston

1401
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: with an asterisk because of the hit by pitch Brent

1402
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: Rooker announced today. And then one more, well we'll get announced.

1403
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 3: So the one more we're going to guess who the

1404
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 3: one more is there?

1405
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I think we just say mystery final

1406
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: contestant is the pick, and it's like it's like the

1407
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: mystery box, you know, and call duty. Just you get

1408
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 1: what you get.

1409
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 2: I thought maybe there was gonna be like two or

1410
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 2: three names we don't know, and we would just draft

1411
01:02:58,480 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys and hopefully know.

1412
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: All right, So you okay with me going first? I mean,

1413
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: I just think that's that's fair. Like whoever wins gets

1414
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: to go.

1415
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 3: We're just going back and forth. We snake out.

1416
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: I think we just go back and forth, okay to

1417
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: man draft, all right, I am going to go with

1418
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: I actually don't really have a clear number one, so

1419
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't know I'll go with Ronald o'cunya. Best player

1420
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: on the list has hit home run since coming back

1421
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: hometown for this you know, uh, this event, and I

1422
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: could just I can just more than anybody else in

1423
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: this in this lineup. I can picture him hitting like

1424
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: eight in a row on eight swings like and just

1425
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: going on like a real heater. I can visualize it.

1426
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: So I'll go with a Kunya for my pick.

1427
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 3: I was really hoping you would go somewhere else because

1428
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 3: that was going to be my first pick last year.

1429
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Didn't you take Gunnar Henderson from me now that I'm remembering,

1430
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: and he hit like two?

1431
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I played the heel in last year's draft.

1432
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 3: It didn't work out.

1433
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh but by the way, just to let everybody know,

1434
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: and you know, so if you look at the number

1435
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: of home runs hit this season for these guys, Cal

1436
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: Raley thirty six, James Wood twenty four, Junior Cameronaro twenty two,

1437
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Byron Buxton twenty, Brent Rooker nineteen, O'Neil Cruz sixteen, and

1438
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Ronald Acunya eleven. Obviously, Kunya not played the full season,

1439
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: but he's hit the fewest of the seven are now

1440
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: so far.

1441
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 3: Wonderful. So second pick, I'm going to go. Let me

1442
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 3: just give cal Rally. You know, I'll just go with it.

1443
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if that's going to be

1444
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 2: the right pick or not, but let's do it.

1445
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. I wasn't sure what to do

1446
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: with it. Obviously he's been awesome this year. I don't

1447
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like a home run Derby is maybe

1448
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: the best fit. I know he's talked about always wanting

1449
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: to participate, and obviously he's really good, so it might be.

1450
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 2: Look a guy who would have the endurance for home

1451
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 2: run Derby does it?

1452
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's fair. I'm between two players here, and

1453
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm worried you're gonna take the one. I don't take

1454
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: whichever direction I go. I'm gonna go with man I

1455
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: really I really like two of these is a clear

1456
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: top too. I wonder if you have the same too.

1457
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with O'Neil Cruz just light tower power.

1458
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: You know, people talk about his his batting practices as

1459
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: you see a lot of homers, and I could see

1460
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 1: him being a really fun and participant in this. So

1461
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: I'll go Cruse. Would he have been your next pick

1462
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: or somebody else.

1463
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 3: I actually don't know. I think Cruise would have been

1464
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 3: my next pick.

1465
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: Interestingly, I have taken the two guys with the fewest

1466
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: home runs on the list so far.

1467
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 2: I might be changing that. I I like Caimanara. I'm

1468
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 2: gonna go Brett Rooker. I'm gonna go with Britton Rooker.

1469
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So I like Rooker. But my pick was it

1470
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: was between Cruz and Camonaro. So I'll go cam and Aro.

1471
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Camanara was the other guy. I wasn't going

1472
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 2: to pick either of the other two, but I didn't

1473
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 2: think you were.

1474
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So I have a Kunya Cruz and Cameron Aro.

1475
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: You have cal Raley, Brent Rooker. You're on the clock

1476
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: remaining Byron Buxton, James Wood and mystery Box. If you

1477
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: just want to take the bold, maybe it turns out

1478
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:17,439
Speaker 1: being somebody really good.

1479
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 3: Ooh, you know what.

1480
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 2: I would go mystery Box, but game three tells me

1481
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 2: I should not, so I'm not going to.

1482
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:27,440
Speaker 1: I could see mystery Box being awesome, like they're saving

1483
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 1: somebody right for this final announcement. I I like Cesme's

1484
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: family Barbecue was talking about like maybe it's Julio Rodriguez.

1485
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Jazz Chisholm, maybe it's Suarez, maybe it's Kyle Tucker.

1486
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: They're trying to name guys that are already going to

1487
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: be in Atlanta, but you have no idea. Also, by

1488
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: the way, I should say, if Buckston ends up leaving,

1489
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: whoever he is, replacement is, we'll go to that person. Clearly,

1490
01:06:54,080 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: all right, this is a really fun field. By the way, Yeah, yeah,

1491
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: you know what mystery box James Wood or Byron Buxton slash.

1492
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,959
Speaker 3: Buyer mystery box. Mystery Box would be anything James would.

1493
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: I was definitely going to take mystery Box over Buxton.

1494
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 3: That's why I thought.

1495
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 2: I was like Originally in my mind, I was like,

1496
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 2: I'll take Wood, he'll take Box, and I'll get mystery Box.

1497
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 2: But then I was like, wait, he's definitely not going

1498
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 2: to take box.

1499
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 1: I would not have taken Buxton. But I mean bucks

1500
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 1: In again, if he doesn't participate, that's also a mystery box, right, Like,

1501
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: it could be a good replacement, so it's not necessarily

1502
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: a bad pick. The thing that I worry about with

1503
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Wood is I wonder almost he has a lot of power, clearly,

1504
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: but I wonder if he's more of like an in

1505
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: game power type of guy.

1506
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 3: That's what I think.

1507
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: He does have the second most home runs on this list.

1508
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: And I really like James Wood the player, and I was,

1509
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, I got I'm going to take Wood and

1510
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: not Bucks and Slash Mystery Player because I've been all

1511
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: in on Wood this whole season, like as a you know,

1512
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: one of my favorite picks and a guy planning my

1513
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: flag on. So I feel like I got to continue

1514
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: that and stick with with the guy who kind of

1515
01:07:58,640 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: got me here.

1516
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 3: Good because I already wrote that on the she So

1517
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 3: I have.

1518
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Ronald Acunya, O'Neil Cruz, Junior Camonaro, and James Wood. You

1519
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: have Col Raley, Brent Rooker Mystery box Player A, and

1520
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: Byron Buxton Slash Mixed three box Player B. If there's

1521
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: a replacement.

1522
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 2: Well, so we have the one thing about James Would,

1523
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we both love James Would is

1524
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,560
Speaker 2: half of his home runs are the opposite field, so

1525
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 2: he's not necessarily this like huge pole power guy. I

1526
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 2: think he might be just a real in in game

1527
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 2: really good and of course, like now that I say that,

1528
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 2: he's gonna like hit fifty home runs and win this thing.

1529
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,759
Speaker 1: No, but that is that's why I had him below

1530
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: like Junior cameronaro O'Neil Cruz like same, that's why he

1531
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: was a little lower on the list despite his great season.

1532
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: So we're we're in agreement on that. I might have

1533
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: taken Buxton over him if not for the injury in

1534
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:50,640
Speaker 1: the mystery Box elements. Basically, what it is is I

1535
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: have my four players, you have two, and you just

1536
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 1: whoever the other two are, whether it's Buxton, whether it's

1537
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: whoever the mystery boxes, they're on your team. So we'll

1538
01:08:58,960 --> 01:08:59,599
