1
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: Leading off starts right now. I am Chris Wels. That

2
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: is Andrew Seifer, and we are here to talk to

3
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: you about all the baseball happenings with the Peanuts and

4
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: cracker Jacks.

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 2: I am feeling a little bit better.

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm not looking any better, but Andrew, I'm glad to

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: have you here your first Thursday episode.

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for having me back again. It's fun to

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 3: get make my Thursday debut. And I'm here in my parents'

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 3: attic in Massachusetts.

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 4: You know they say fantasy.

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 3: Managers usually are and live in their parents' basement, right,

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 3: so I'm in the attic. I don't, but I'm happy

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: enough there.

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: I forgot about that.

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, yeah, you're living the quintessential fantasy life right

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: now in your parents' attic or basement. Is that a

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: bookshelf I see behind?

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: If you look in the corner over my other shoulder,

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 3: you can maybe even see Albert Einstein he's right, and

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: a bicycle there as well. So it's definitely got its

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: attic vibes going.

24
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Okay, but is it haunted? Because that's the vibe I

25
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: get from attics. I get a little haunted vibe.

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: Maybe so maybe so it depends how you feel about books.

27
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: I guess what scarier an attic or a basement. This

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: is a great question. I think this is the ultimate

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: question because I feel like an attic is more haunted,

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: but a basement is just scarier.

31
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going basement because I feel like your chance

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 3: of running into some sort of animal that you don't

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: want to see, like a rat or something, or some sort.

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 4: Of bugs is a lot higher in that environment.

35
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I'd love to know, chat what do you think,

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: basement or attic. That's a good point. I hadn't thought

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: about the animals. I was really thinking about Poltergeist. But

38
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: that's where my brain goes to lots of baseball to cover.

39
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: Let's get into the top stuff.

40
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: Mariner's George Kirby got to a rare feat by starting

41
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: a game with twenty or starting twenty four straight games

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: with a strike, which I know is kind of like

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: a weird staff, but it also just shows you how

44
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: consistent he has been throughout the year. Also, his teammate

45
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez got to the twenty twenty club and by

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: the way, the futures odds on like pretty much everything,

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: but rookie of the year is almost laughable at this point,

48
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: and Julio, it's a little bit of adle and it's

49
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred for Bobby Witt on the other side.

50
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: But getting back into it, George Kirby's only picked up

51
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: five wins this year, but as a three three to

52
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: two era has a better x FIP an almost ten

53
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: k per nine nine point four an elite walk per

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: nine at one point two. And I'm gonna tell you,

55
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: be it a rookie or not, George Kirby is showing

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: all the stuff he did as a prospect in that

57
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: he's got all the command that made us love him.

58
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: He's showing strikeouts and he looks like he could be

59
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: a big time viable maybe top twenty five SP top

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: thirty next year.

61
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: What do you think about George Kirby rest of the year.

62
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm totally on board. I honestly this He's

63
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: like he's like Rodney Dangerfield. He gets no respect. Like

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: I don't understand why his roster rates are so low.

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: I wrote about this in my intro to my Waiver

66
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: wire piece of Fantasy Pro two weeks ago. At that time,

67
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: his roster rate was at forty eight percent in Yahoo,

68
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: and I couldn't believe it was that low, and I

69
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: made him the top guy just for that reason. It's

70
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: only fifty seven percent now, even after this great outing.

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: So like, this is a guy who was like a

72
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: top thirty prospect all the like you said, all the

73
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: peripherals back up the performance that he's done up to

74
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: this point. Pitches in a good environment, great control, like

75
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 3: you said, I mean that walk rate really gives you

76
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: a nice margin for error even if you have some

77
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: run into some bad babb block in a start here

78
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: or there. So yeah, I love this guy, and I

79
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: don't understand why he's not like eighty ninety percent rostered.

80
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: This is why I've always loved about him. I've always

81
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: been big on him in prospects.

82
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: He almost has a four pitch repertoire of like double digits.

83
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: His fastball's been sitting around ninety five. His slider he's

84
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: throwing twenty percent of the time. There's your wipeout strikeout

85
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: pitch he's thrown around eighty seven, I mean almost eighty eight.

86
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: You're closing in ninety.

87
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: Is an elite slider territory as far as velocity goes,

88
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: and the curve ball has been on point. And you know,

89
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: for a guy his age to be throwing and walk

90
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: create of only like one, you know, under one and

91
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: a half, it's a lead. It's a lead that you

92
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: don't see young pitchers do. And I think we don't

93
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: give him enough kudos. And then obviously you know Julio, Julio,

94
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: but hitting the twenty twenty mark, I think they said

95
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: the last Mariner to do that was Mike Cameron, who

96
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: actually coaches with the Mariners and works with them. The

97
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: race manager, Kevin Cash, said that wander Franco will not

98
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: resume his minor league rehab assignment before next week. Franco

99
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: suffered a set back with the surgically repaired right hand

100
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: wrist while making a rehab stint on Tuesday, and it

101
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: is looking less and less likely that we're going to

102
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: get him anytime soon, which begs the question, I know,

103
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: it's crazy, how much do you need to hold on to.

104
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 2: Wander Franco at this point?

105
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: You know, if he's not going to even resume anything

106
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: until next week, that gets you into September. Then he's

107
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: going to have to get some games another weekend. Look

108
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: how look at the lack of pretty duction he had

109
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: before he got injured. Andrew, do you think one of

110
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: Franco's a must hold in any type of a redraft

111
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: league right now?

112
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: I do not.

113
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: I was sort of out on Fronco even coming into

114
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: the season. I mean, he's obviously a tremendous prospect, and

115
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: he's got one of the best hit tools we've seen

116
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: from a young player in a really long time.

117
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 4: So I think he's a great real life player.

118
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: I think he's still got some steps he needs to

119
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: take in his game before it fully translates to fantasy.

120
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: I mean, if he's not giving you that category juice

121
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 3: in power and in speed, then he's not really in

122
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 3: a standard five by five league going to be as

123
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: valuable in fantasy as he is in reality.

124
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 4: And then you bring in a hand injury.

125
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: I mean, even if he does come back, that can

126
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: often sat power, so any power he could have hit

127
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: for he's probably not going to now. And you know,

128
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: he's got a very bright future. He could take his

129
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: game to the next level in the next couple of years.

130
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: But in a redraft format, I really just don't see

131
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: the benefit of holding onto him.

132
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there is If anyone is dealing

133
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: with that the two sixty batting average, five homers, five

134
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: stolen bases. I feel like the majority of it came

135
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: in that first month of the season, and almost one

136
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent differential on his wOBA three toho three this year.

137
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, three oh five this year, four oh four

138
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: last year, or that's actually no, I'm sorry, that's in

139
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: triple A.

140
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: What was it last year?

141
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: It was three forty eight, So you've still got a

142
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: huge differential there. He's just not a mushold. There's not

143
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: a muss hold for Wanderfronco if you are dealing with that.

144
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: And then yes, of course, the biggest piece of news

145
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: that everybody wants to talk about. Onel Cruz hit a

146
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: ball one hundred and twenty two miles an hour, the

147
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: hardest hit in stat cast era. I think it was

148
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: what one of you know, two hits in the last

149
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: two weeks for the awesome player that's going on for

150
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: this season. Hardest hit ball was a single. It smashed

151
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: against the wall and bounced back, and you know, I

152
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: don't know what to say anymore.

153
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: I continue my thing.

154
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: He's got maybe some of the most exciting tools in

155
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: all of baseball. Beyond this year, he is exciting as hell.

156
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 1: This year he's not that great. Uh, sub two hundred

157
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: batting average guys don't help you that much. I'm gonna

158
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: stand firm to it for all the Oneo Cruz stands.

159
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: You can't come at me next year because I've said

160
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm all game. I'm game in the future, I'll draft him.

161
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: But this year was stupid. But he did hit the

162
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: hardest tracked ball in stat kaz Era Andrew.

163
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, though, So in a

164
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: dynasty league, who would you prefer Onneo Cruz or Wander Franco.

165
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: That's a great question.

166
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: I would prefer Franco still, but I get why it's closer.

167
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: O'neo Cruz is.

168
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Showing no ability to hit for batting average. I mean,

169
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: he's showing absolutely nothing. He's hitting a buck ninety nine

170
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: right now. He has a almost thirty nine percent k rate,

171
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: and he has played. He's at over two hundred play appearances.

172
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: So let's not be like, you know, it's.

173
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Got the skulls and blah blah blah, two hundred played

174
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: appearances in almost thirty nine percent k rate. I love

175
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: the counting stats. Ten homer six dolen bases. It's great,

176
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: we can extrapolate, we could you know, hey, this could.

177
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: Be a thirty fifteen guy.

178
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: He's got to show the ability to hit for contact,

179
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: and not only is he not doing it this year,

180
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: he's doing it at maybe one of the worst clips,

181
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: sub two hundred, horrible strike rate. I think he's a

182
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: huge bet on, and when it gets kind of fixed,

183
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: I think it'll be better. But I would bet on

184
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: Wander Franco. I think Wander's counting stats are going to

185
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: catch up to him, but I also don't think they

186
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: could reach Cruz's level. But I think Cruise is looking

187
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: like he is a two to maybe three category player,

188
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: where Franco still has a five category in him. It

189
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: just might not be at the same elite level. Are

190
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: you Cruise over Franco?

191
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: Honestly, I think if it's a league where stolen bases matter,

192
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: I'm still kind of leaning with Cruz here. I mean,

193
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: the thing is, I agree with you he doesn't look

194
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: ready for the major leagues at all. But if you

195
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: look at his minor league numbers, I mean, he had

196
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: a striker rate in the twenty two to twenty three

197
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: percent range in the minors, so that wasn't outrageously bad.

198
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, this is a team going nowhere

199
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: that kind of rushed him up, and I feel like

200
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: we can't see, you know, a thirty nine percent strikeout

201
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: right and say that like he's always going to be that.

202
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: I think there's as much of a chance that he

203
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: makes inroads there as there is that Franco makes inroads

204
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: in terms of power. So for that reason, like if

205
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: you wanted to tell me who's the safer bet to

206
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: play twenty years in the major leagues and be a

207
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: really good baseball player, I would obviously say Wander Franco.

208
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: But if you're telling me in a five y five league,

209
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: I need that category, juice, who's the guy that's got

210
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: the upside to be like the number one player in fantasy?

211
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 4: To me, that's got to be O'Neil Cruz. And I

212
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: guess I'd just like to shoot for the moon there.

213
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it's just it's so extreme. I have

214
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: a hard time with it. But I get I get

215
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: what you're saying Wanderfronco. I've watched him for a long time.

216
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: I think there is but like you said, there might

217
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: be twenty twenty in there.

218
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: You know.

219
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: Conditioning has got to be an issue he's got to consider.

220
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: It's just it's so funny how especially like in the

221
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: prospect world they do this, but you want to come

222
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: over here. You never see passes for bad strikeout raids.

223
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: You never see passes for batting average unless your name

224
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: is O'Neil Cruz. He's getting all the passes in the world.

225
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing in that you're somebody

226
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: that would give any other player passes on a thirty

227
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: plus percent K percentage. But yet he does because he's

228
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: a young guy and he hasn't had enough years under

229
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: his belt to prove otherwise. But it's a thirty nine

230
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: percent K rate. That's bunkers.

231
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: It is bonkers.

232
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 3: But I mean, we've seen guys like jave Baiaz Adallas Garcia,

233
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: guys like this have really high strike out rates and

234
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 3: still be really good in fantasy because of the category

235
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: juice they provide. So he doesn't need to get that

236
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: strike out rate down to like twenty three percent like

237
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: you had, and the miners to be really valuable. If

238
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: he can even get it into the thirty percent range,

239
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: I think you're talking about a guy who could be

240
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: really useful.

241
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what the weird thing is is the last

242
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: thing on that the weird thing that exists with him.

243
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: This is one of those.

244
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: Guys where it's like, God, he would love to like

245
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: go and get him right now. But even though he's

246
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: like statistically looking like one of the worst players in

247
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: baseball right now with a sub two hundred and the

248
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: k rate, he's not available, Like, no one will sell

249
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: you him for any cheap.

250
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: So you have to be the person that's willing to risk.

251
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: A high dollar a high dollar cost to get him

252
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: and just cross those fingers, just really hope that the

253
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: k raid is going to drop to a sustainable area

254
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: and he'll start actually hitting for more contact, because.

255
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: When he does, it's amazing.

256
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: I would love to buy on him because I think

257
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: he has a great potential bet for any fix.

258
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: It's just he's not cheap. There's huge, huge red flag

259
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: warning signs and you know this, it's not that great

260
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 2: for this year.

261
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: Yeah that I totally can buy what you're saying. He

262
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: could easily be overvalued in the marketplace just because you

263
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: do see things like this hardest hit ball ever and

264
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 3: you just dream about the potential.

265
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: So that's absolutely true. I feel like It's like the same.

266
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 2: Thing with flus two in the minors.

267
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 3: I just want to point out, Yeah, it's like the

268
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: same thing with like, you know, in football or something.

269
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: The coaches always draft the skills because they believe they

270
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: can coach the guy up and teach them the fundamentals

271
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: if they have the natural ability, because you can't teach that,

272
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: you know. So I feel like fantasy managers the same way.

273
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: When it comes to Onio Cruz, it's like he's got

274
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: the tools, he just needs to develop the fundamentals.

275
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: Do you think you can help him with that?

276
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: By the way, do you think the Pirates are a

277
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: team that are gonna be able to help him?

278
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't know. Maybe not, I don't know.

279
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: On the injury front, Jared Walsh placed on the ten

280
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: day I L with thoracic outlet syndrome.

281
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: No boy, no not good.

282
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: Santa Boguart set out Wednesday after leaving Tuesday's game with

283
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: back spasms. Tommy fam sat out Wednesday with low backspasms

284
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: a lot of back stuff after slamming into the wall

285
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Wilson Catura sat out again yesterday with left

286
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: ankle stiffness. But there's hope that he's not going to

287
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: land on the iel. Hobby Baias set out with back spasms,

288
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: Gas McCormick suffered dislocated Pinky Ouch and Royal's relief pitcher

289
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: Josh Staumont placed on the fifteen day. I l would

290
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: write bicep tendonites did, Buddy, when you were saying those

291
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: guys that were similar to him, did you have like

292
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: a moment of clarity of like you just compared him

293
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: to Hovey Baya's and where Hobby Bias.

294
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: Is right now, who is the other one? There's another one?

295
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 4: Where I was he's having a great season, actually.

296
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: Is like a better I mean those guys are like

297
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: almost pull oar opposite the dolls is like five 't

298
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: ten in real life. I've stood next to him and O'Neil.

299
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: Cruz is a completely different type of physical player.

300
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was saying, like that's you know, he

301
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: could he could be good even if he doesn't fully blossom,

302
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: because that's like those guys are flawed players. Like that's

303
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 3: assuming that Cruz never fully puts it all together. He

304
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: could I'm saying he could still be pretty valuable.

305
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Alwonky, this is my favorite thing is Cruse tall.

306
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, look at this, Joey p doing

307
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: a live football show on Fantasy Pros the same time

308
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: we're doing this. What a turncoat, What an absolute scab turncoat.

309
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: He has given up on all of you.

310
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: I have not Oh well, you got me instead of

311
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: now so exactly right.

312
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Joe Pie's a pia give me a break. This day

313
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: in baseball nineteen eighty six, I was three years old,

314
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: Oakland A's third baseman Mark maguire hits his first major

315
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: league home run, a five hundred and fifty foot blast

316
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: to center off of Walt Harrell as Oakland beat Detroit

317
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: eight to four at Tiger Stadium. You now, I grew

318
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: up loving Mark McGuire.

319
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: I grew up in the Bay Area. My whole family

320
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 2: were as fans. My uncle who.

321
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: Shout out to my uncle who's in the hospital right now.

322
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: He used to run a pool business and he did

323
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: Mark McGuire's pool, and he got to one time sit

324
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: down and hang out with Mark McGuire, and they knew

325
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: like he was just my favorite player. If you grew

326
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: up in the Bay Area, Mark mc Mark McGuire was

327
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: even more popular than Barry Bonds.

328
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: And that was my guy. So I always loved little

329
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: Mark McGuire. Pieces of news.

330
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: I got some trivia for you, and this is going

331
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: to be for you Andrew to play as well. Who

332
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: holds the al NL record for consecutive quality starts in

333
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: a single season. There's a lot of interesting names out there.

334
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to give any hints, but the consecutive

335
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: al NL record for quality starts quite a big number.

336
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: You got any guesses?

337
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 4: Oh god, that's such a hard question. I mean quality.

338
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: It's like you could be given up three runs every

339
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: time and keep it going.

340
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you know what.

341
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, one you might think of, remember is that Gallen

342
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Zach Gallon had that run of like thirteen or fourteen

343
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: I think in twenty nineteen. That was one of those guys.

344
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: This number is over twenty.

345
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: That's a hint. I'm giving it over twenty.

346
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 4: You know.

347
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: The thing that just came to mind, and I know

348
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: this isn't the answer, but it reminded me of Oral

349
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 3: Herscheizer's like consecutive scoreless inning stretch. But it's probably not

350
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: someone that far back right.

351
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: Now, David guess, Bob Gibson incorrect. Mike Mussina from one

352
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: Jedro Martinez. That's a great guess. Incorrect, it is not Pedro.

353
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: How about one more hint for everybody. So I've given

354
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: you the relative number. It's over twenty. It has happened

355
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: within the last five years.

356
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 4: Is it de Grom?

357
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: It is de Grom?

358
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 4: Oh right there?

359
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: Clip when I was trying to say Gallon because I

360
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: was looking at it.

361
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: Jacob de Gram.

362
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: Twenty four quality starts in twenty eighteen. De Gram is

363
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: pitching today. That's why that popped up. By the way, Well,

364
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, another fun thing, the books, at least when

365
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: I maybe there might be a singular book or two

366
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: and it just has an updated on the Vetting Pros

367
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: cheat sheet. I see no numbers on the de Gram

368
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: strikeout numbers, and I think we saw an absurd as nine,

369
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: like nine and a half for de Gram, which we've

370
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: never I've never seen all season long. That they're just

371
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: not even placing da Gram on the books anymore. But

372
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: twenty four straight quality starts that is, like, I don't know,

373
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: I feel like that's one of the most impressive singular

374
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: things a guy can do. Like I think twenty four

375
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: quality starts is in line with like fifty straight games

376
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: with a hit or am I off here?

377
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

378
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: No, I think that's fair, And it's interesting because it's

379
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: you know, some of these pictures you associate them with

380
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: their dominance, and that stat is less about dominance and

381
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: more about consistency. So when you have the dominance and

382
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: the consistency, than you are truly a great pitcher.

383
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: You're just being mean today. Why are you so salty?

384
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: Says I thought if it was to Grom, it would

385
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: be over like a six year span.

386
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: You're just being rude.

387
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: Let's let's not talk bad about the best picture in baseball,

388
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: regardless if he gets hurt.

389
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: Let's be positive today. I don't feel good.

390
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: I need all of the positivity for Jacob to gram stat.

391
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: Heroes Jose Ramirez two homers, three for three, three RBI,

392
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: huge day. Nathaniel or Nate Low Actually, I remember I

393
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: was right. I was standing next to him over at

394
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: Rangers camp during spring training and someone asked him. They're like,

395
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: do you do you want to be called Nathaniel? And

396
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: he was just like, Buddy, I don't care what you

397
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: call me. Call me whatever you want, Nate Nathaniel. So

398
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't know why they've stuck with the Nathaniel because

399
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't care. But Nathaniel Low homer five RBIs Matt

400
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: Olsen three for five with a homer. Four RBIs Willie

401
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: Adamis three for four with a homer. Hunter Renfro, Hunter

402
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: Renfro was on the prop sheet yesterday. He had a

403
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: bomb three for five, a couple RBIs Austin Barnes, we'll

404
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: talk about him in a minute, had a homer. Jt

405
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: Romuto three for five with a homer. Continuing that and

406
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: maybe number one catcher spot. We talked about that last time.

407
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: Andrew was on with the Adley versus rem Ute. Franchi

408
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: had a homer. William Contres had a homer. Corey Seger

409
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: did not, but he went two for four, two RBIs

410
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: and three runs. Anybody up on this list jump out

411
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: to you and their performances lately, Low, Renfro. There's a

412
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: couple lesser own guys. Franchie Cordero is kind of interesting,

413
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: probably not as owned in as many leagues as we think.

414
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I think with Low it's

415
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: just he's one of these guys that kind of flies

416
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 3: under the radar a little bit. He doesn't really excel

417
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 3: in any one statistical category or anything like that. He's

418
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: just the classic guy that chips away and gives you

419
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: solid numbers everywhere. His batting average is up to two

420
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: ninety five now and he's got twenty home runs decent

421
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 3: run in RBI production, So even though he's not doing

422
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 3: stolen bases like, he's just a really solid across the

423
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 3: board provider of fantasy goodness.

424
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: Cole Irvin was a monster yesterday. Went seven, give up,

425
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: three hits, struck out eleven. What a performance. What a

426
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: back half of the year I've had. I have him

427
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: on a couple squads, just holding up the rotation when

428
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: anything goes wrong. Kyle right At eight strikeouts and seven

429
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: Framber seven with eight k's Shane McClanahan nine strikeouts, six innings,

430
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: Cal Quantrell seven with six strikeouts, five hits and a walk.

431
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Have I Someone was asking me this last night, do

432
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: you how much Dynasty like ranking do you do?

433
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 3: Andrew not a ton, but I you know I do

434
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 3: play in such formats, So I'm always thinking about it from.

435
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: A value perspective, is where's McClanahan as like a Dynasty

436
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: sp for you think of age and everything like that?

437
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: Is a one two three further down, you know.

438
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: You probably have guys like obviously Corbyn Burns is gonna

439
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: be on that list, Sandy al Contra, I don't Dylan cease,

440
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: and then after that, like you can't really put like

441
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna put Verlander to Grom maybe Cole, Like, where

442
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: do you think he sits on a dynasty sp rank?

443
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: I think he needs to be pretty high up. I

444
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: know he's gone through a little bit of a rough

445
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: stretch recently, but you still look at his numbers for

446
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: the season and they're phenomenal. I mean, walk right under

447
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 3: two k per nine over eleven two twenty era great

448
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: pitches in a great pitchers park. He's twenty five years old,

449
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: so just really entering the prime of his career, so

450
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: he's he'd be right up at the top for me,

451
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 3: I will say that depending on your format, you know,

452
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: I I don't worry about age as much for pictures

453
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: as I do for hitters when it comes to keeper

454
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 3: and dynasty value, because you just don't know the longevity

455
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: of pitchers careers. I mean, we've seen a lot of

456
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: these guys flame out early, and then we see guys

457
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 3: like Schuzer that just keep going strong in Verlander that

458
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 3: go strong to the very end of their career, you know,

459
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: so who bump.

460
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: In your mind?

461
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: Like I feel like that you're making a case for

462
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: like Garrett Cole potentially being still at the top. Like

463
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: I just I still don't see how you could. Like

464
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: I actually rank like the sus and Deo Gram's like

465
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: a little bit high in Dynasty, but they're still they're

466
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: not like remotely close to SP five or anything like that.

467
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 3: Oh, I agree, I'm saying that, like just generally speaking,

468
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: like I just don't factor in age quite as much

469
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: for pictures as I do for hitters when I'm comparing

470
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 3: different players.

471
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that, and I think you're right

472
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: about that, Like I think, you know what a hitter

473
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: declines at thirty one, is a pitcher declining at thirty

474
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: seven or something like that.

475
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And imagine if you sold Verlander like when he

476
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: was thirty three or something like that, you know, I mean,

477
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 3: I know he just missed the entire season, but like

478
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: you would have missed a lot of good seasons.

479
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 4: Out of him.

480
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

481
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: On your stat zero's to Oskar Hernandez good old oh

Speaker 1: Nolan Gormant, and Jose Miranda all big three strikeout performances,

486
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: if you want to call them performances on.

487
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 2: The picture side.

488
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: Jose Arena, who what do we need like? Three strikeouts

489
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: on the prop he got one walk, three, gave up

490
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: nine hits, nine in runs, did not get out of

491
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: the second inning. TJ Zetsch two two thirds. Feel like

492
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: he's on this every time he pitches. Six earned runs,

493
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: seven hits. Blake Snell didn't get to the fourth, gave

494
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: up six earned runs, four walks, no k's, oh myn

495
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: and Adrian Hauser two and one third, five earned runs,

496
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: four walks, four k's, no point, no Logan Web as well,

497
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: four and two thirds, six earned runs, six strikeouts. The

498
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: home run calls yesterday, Wonkey gave us the respect your

499
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: elders bonus. You just got to pick somebody who's over

500
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: thirty two to hit a homer, and it looks like

501
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: we got one waking life called Austin Barnes, who uh

502
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: thirty two years old? They hit a homer and they

503
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: got a bonus, but the overall board did not change

504
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: at all. High Cove You is still at forty six,

505
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: de Blum is at forty five, Go Cards at forty three,

506
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: Mayor and Terry at forty two, and cat Fox at

507
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: forty one. Still six people with forty or plus homers.

508
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: It is anybody's race because none of the bonus has helped.

509
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: Two others call okay, so that two others called out

510
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: two A two, So they were a couple you were,

511
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: I think you Wonky was just giving me a note

512
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: of like someone called Austin Barnes and that was incredible,

513
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: So good for them.

514
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 2: I like it.

515
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,399

00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: my friends. I've got some bets for you, the top

536
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: total base play, the top money play, and then I've

537
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: also got the other side of those. Oh you know

538
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 1: what I screwed up on the hitting side, Well, I'm

539
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: gonna give you. Let me see if I remember it.

540
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: I do remember the other one. So the top play

541
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: for the day for total bases on bettingpros dot Com

542
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: mlbprop cheat sheet is Kyle Stowers rookie Baltimore needs one

543
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: hit against the White Sox. The juice isn't horrific. It's

544
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: at minus one forty five. This is on DraftKings. He's

545
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: projected almost.

546
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 2: Two and a half. So there you go.

547
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: The top plus money play. I copied it wrong, but

548
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: I remember it was Jordan Alvarez who is at one

549
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: and a half and it was plus one ten, I

550
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: want to say, and I think that was over at Sugarhouse.

551
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: So Stowers is your top play. Jordan is your top

552
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: Jordan is your top plus play on the pitching side.

553
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: Drew Rasmussen against the Angels. He is the top strikeout

554
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: play of all of them. And it's under six and

555
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: a half strikeout, so you got to get under six.

556
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: They're projecting only five. It's juice at one thirty nine.

557
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: And then your top plus play is Louis Garcia against Minnesota.

558
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: The strikeouts are five and a half and it is

559
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: plus one ten.

560
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: He's projected at six.

561
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: So Andrew, you've got Louis Garcia, Drew Rasmussen, Jordan, and

562
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Stowers.

563
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: What do you like out of this?

564
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: I mean the Jordon one seems like pretty easy to me.

565
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: I mean, that wasn't a huge number against him.

566
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: To day, I had a little hit prop three parlay

567
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: because they had a boost on DraftKings and I played it.

568
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: I played Jordan is one of the three, and I hit,

569
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: So I had Gallon, Mullins.

570
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: And him, and that was a nice little payday.

571
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: He had one hit the other day, a double last

572
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: night I didn't interrupt to you. But his family's in town.

573
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: So it's one of those things where it's like you

574
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: use stupid logic to be like his family for the

575
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: first time ever is watching him play from Cuba in

576
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: a major league stadium. You want to think he's gonna

577
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: show up and he had a double yesterday.

578
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 3: Cool, Well, my logic says that he's a complete masher,

579
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 3: so give me, give me.

580
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 2: Him, So you like that when any of the others

581
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 2: are Now.

582
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 4: I'm not going on that ras muse in one.

583
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's exceeded seven k's and at least

584
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 3: his last two starts, so he's missing a lot of

585
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: bats right now.

586
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 4: So would I wouldn't want to bet the under on

587
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: sex right now with him?

588
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 2: You know, I will tell you.

589
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: I think they're all getting really tough. All the numbers

590
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: are gonna be in tough. But I do feel like

591
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: betting pros. The unders have been hitting a little bit

592
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: more so, just to monitor that a lot of the overs,

593
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 1: especially their top plays the algorithm. I don't know if

594
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: it's quite catching up and they're struggling a little bit,

595
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: but the unders might be so not that I'm interested

596
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: in making that bet with Rasmussen, but I.

597
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: Want to monitor it. I do want to monitor that one.

598
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: Over on the DFS side, you've got only two teams

599
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: today projected with five or more total team runs, and

600
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: that's Philly in Toronto. If you want to play any

601
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: stacks on the pitching side, a bunch of high priced

602
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: guys on FanDuel de Grom was at twelve five, Gosman

603
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: is at ten to five, and Aaron Nola was at

604
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: ten eight. I kind of like Nola think the matchup

605
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: is the best if you're going to pay those high dollars.

606
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, de Gram is to Gram. But like I said,

607
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: if you want to go on the DFS side for

608
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: Philly Toronto lineup stacks, I mean I like Schwarber today.

609
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: I think there's a bunch you can play into, and

610
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: there's some.

611
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: Other high end, you know, bad matchups that you can exploit.

612
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: But there's some pitching, there's some hitting, and that actually

613
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: takes us to the home run board here, Andrew, what

614
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: are you going.

615
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: To do today? There's no extra bonuses? What do you got?

616
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 3: I'm going back to the Paul goldmiitt. Well, it didn't

617
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: work for me last time, but I got a good feeling.

618
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 3: This time he's facing Marcus Stroman. He's hit three bombs

619
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: in thirteen at bats against Roman over his career for

620
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: sixty two batting average. Couple you know, a double in

621
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 3: there as well. So he's been making a lot of

622
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,520
