What's going on there dark days up in 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: Toronto as the Blue Jays trying to hang on there 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: to first place. And yes, it's so good to be 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: back here talking baseball with all of you, the Peanuts 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: and the Cracker Jacks. I missed you all and I 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: really mean that from the bottom of my heart. We 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: love the Baseball Show here. It is and always has 11 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: been a labor of love, and we want to share 12 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 1: that love with the audience today and kind of look 13 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: back at the twenty twenty five season. What's going on 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: through the weekend. My Mets barely hanging on by a 15 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: thread by themselves as well. You know, they've got to 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: do it right. They've got to start off great this year, 17 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,959 Speaker 1: get my expectations up, then pull me back down to earth, 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: then give me hope again swooping the Phillies, and then 19 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: crush my hopes again and now tease me at the 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: end of the year on my birthday. So you know what, 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 1: Mets just once, Can we just win like ninety eight 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: games and just sail into the playoffs? That'd be fun. 23 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: But Welsh, good to see you, my friend. The hair 24 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: looks spectacular today. I know we're going to talk about 25 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: some of our favorite things this year. We're gonna talk 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: about some of these prospects too. At the end of 27 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: the year at Joe Rico, I just want to check 28 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: in with you and all the faithful up above the 29 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: North border there. How is blue Jay Nation doing? How 30 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: are you holding up? Number? Just getting the playoffs? Anything 31 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: can happen from then. 32 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: On, Joe hypothetically, sure, but this is this is looking 33 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: real bad man. It's funny everybody I host shows with 34 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: that all their teams are just going down the tubes 35 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: at the end of the season. I guess the Diamondbacks 36 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: are still kind of hanging around for Welsh. But the 37 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 2: Mets and Bubba and Justin Mason, my the co hosts, 38 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: Giants and Paul Sport Tigers, every like I need to 39 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: find some new co hosts or something. 40 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: We're all losers. 41 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 4: But the Mets are in the playoffs, the Diamondbacks just. 42 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: The toad They're done. 43 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're like, they are all losing Dinbacks. You're doing okay. 44 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 4: The dam Bats are the only ones that are out 45 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 4: of the playoffs that you just locked us to two 46 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 4: games out now, Dimondbacks are done, Mets are gonna be fine. 47 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 4: Baseball's amazing right now.

Well, it's awesome, but 53 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 4: there's also incredible baseball going on and finishing out this year. 54 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 4: You've got a tied series between the Guardians and Tigers, 55 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 4: or at least they are tied for the division where 56 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 4: one of those teams can be knocked. The East is 57 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 4: still crazy. You've got this last spot in the NL. 58 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 4: It's gonna be pretty awesome and it's coming down to 59 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 4: the wire. So God love baseball, baby. 60 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: Yes, And Michael Impo saying a Jorio Welsh is the 61 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: cream filling between two joes.

So if you 73 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: haven't subscribed to the YouTube channel, because most of the 74 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: content will be on there in the real season. Real quick, too, 75 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: real quick. 76 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, she's. 77 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: Gonna be at Arizona Fall League working out with the guys, 78 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: taking some VP. He's gonna be there. We're gonna have 79 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: a lot of that action there. We're going to have 80 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: Joe Rico live from somewhere deep in the forest, I believe, 81 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: in Canada and Saskatchewan trying to figure out what happened 82 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: to the Blue Jays. And look, the Black Book's gonna 83 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: be working too. We're gonna be starting to work on 84 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: that next month too. So baseball never sleeps around here. 85 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: Just want to let everybody know, Welsh, I want to 86 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: start with the MVP race because once upon, oh look 87 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: there's the ball. Look at Joe Rico. Yeah, so all 88 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: three of us again, we'll be working on that project 89 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: this year. So I want to start with the MVP 90 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: in the American League because you know, I got to 91 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: say at one point, I want to say, the Aaron 92 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,799 Speaker 1: Judge numbers like minus twenty thousand, wells, it was like absurd. 93 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: We just kind of said, oh, it's over, and we 94 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: kept making the case. We kept making the case like, well, 95 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: what if Aaron Judge gets hurt, or what if cal 96 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 1: Rawley really keeps this up. You know, cal Rawley's a catcher, 97 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: and here we are the last weekend of the season 98 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 1: and looking at the odds for that cal Rawley minus 99 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: one ninety Aaron Judge plus one fifty five. I mean, 100 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: if I had a vote, I'd be voting for cal Rawley. Anyway. 101 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: I understand the Judge argument. The batting average is higher, 102 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: some of the peripherals will higher, but it's not because 103 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: cal Raley has so many more home runs. It's because 104 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: cal Rawley is also a catcher, and I think that 105 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: is something you have to take into account he has 106 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: carried this team on his back, not that Judge has not, 107 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: but I just think to me, he is undeniable. Well, 108 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: what's start with you? Here? A mvperiod race. If you 109 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: got vote, who are you voting for? 110 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: Yeah? 111 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: For the last month, I been doing been on some 112 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 4: CBS sports, HQ Talk and Baseball if people have been 113 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: able to check out, and I've been asked this question 114 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 4: multiple times and every single time it's been cal Rawley. 115 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 4: And had tip to a Rico because you know, when 116 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 4: we were doing the betting pro shows throughout the year, 117 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 4: like a once a month check in, Arico was a 118 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 4: lot more like you know, table slamming about about cal 119 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 4: Rawley getting this. The funny thing is, though I had 120 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 4: painted this scenario, I was actually kind of pushing up 121 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 4: Turreek Schooble a little bit a couple months back. But 122 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 4: one of the big things I was saying that worried 123 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 4: me about cal and taking the bet was that he 124 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 4: would fall off in the second half, and from a 125 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 4: batting average standpoint, and from a consistency on that, he 126 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 4: did like he was hitting like two ten after the 127 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 4: All Star break for like a month it was bat 128 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 4: but the ball just kept flying. And what he's done, 129 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: Like I was taking a look at deep dives into 130 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: all these guys. You know, cal has got one of 131 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 4: the highest launch angles in all of baseball while putting 132 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 4: up like well above average like barrel and hard hitting 133 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 4: out like all those look really good. They're not Judge ESQ, 134 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 4: but they're really good while being able to pull and 135 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: get the ball in the air at a bigger degree 136 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 4: than anybody else. So you know that has like maintained 137 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 4: this ridiculous sixty home run marker. But just getting back 138 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 4: to what you were saying before, Yes, Judge has got 139 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 4: an absurd like three four six slash. His ops is 140 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 4: over like eleven hundred. But cal Raley has more RBI, 141 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 4: he has more homers. He's within a full war point. Actually, 142 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 4: Judge at it a little bit. But the defensive value 143 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 4: rating it was I chucked two days ago. It was 144 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: seventh heighst in all of baseball for cal Raley. So 145 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 4: considering that you know he's dhing, he's catching, his defensive 146 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 4: rating is up. He has the most valuable singular player 147 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 4: for their team. I think it's easy cal rally, but 148 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 4: I did find it interesting. Jeff Passon said the other 149 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 4: day if he had a vote, he would still go 150 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 4: with Judge, And it was cited purely on those offense 151 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 4: of the ops numbers, the three four to six slash, 152 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 4: And I don't know where you take that. Is that 153 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 4: like that where the voters are going to go? Is 154 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: there a good bet to go on on Judge Roa. 155 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: It's tough. It's judge where the value is. But from 156 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, I mean going into next year, Joe, 157 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: I mean, where's cal Raley go? Like, who's your top 158 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: five overall on your board next year? Is cal Rally 159 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: in there? Based off the sixty home run. 160 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 4: Seas you're talking about fantasy or I'm. 161 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: Talking fantasy now for Jill, I'm curious, Joe, do you have. 162 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 3: I can't go with quite that high. 163 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: Off the top of my head, the top five would 164 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 2: be Otani, Judge, wit Soto, Jay ram I could tinker 165 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: around a little bit there, three to five, But ROLEI 166 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: what he's done. I think he's a conversation at like 167 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: if you're picking at the turn, if you're at the 168 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: end of the first round, especially if it's a two 169 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: catcher league, it's a league where you only have to 170 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: start one catcher taking him in the first round. I 171 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: don't really love doing that. If you're playing in deeper leagues, 172 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: two catch or formats and you take him, you know, 173 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: in the top twenty ish area between fifteen and twenty. 174 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 3: I could get behind it. 175 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: But this also feels like a little bit of a risk, 176 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: right Whenever you buy off of a career year on 177 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: the high price, it is a bit of a risk. 178 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: His batting average could be two year, he could hit 179 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: thirty two home runs, which which will be a very 180 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: good season, but it would be like a six or 181 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: seventh round value kind of where he's been the last 182 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: couple of years. So buying off of the peak season 183 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: is not something I ever really want to do. Kind 184 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: of reminds me a little bit of what Matt Olsen 185 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: went crazy a couple of years ago, and then he 186 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: was a first second rounder and he returned third or 187 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: fourth round value. That's kind of what I would expect 188 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: from Cal. But he's been brilliant. If he gets the MVP, 189 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: I would have it so tough. 190 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: In those two catcher leagues, especially too, not to look 191 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: at cal Rawley as such an advantage if he is 192 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: literally like having two catchers. 193 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a. 194 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 4: Little bit of a different argument if you do that, 195 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 4: Bagman and I over and in this league, we're doing 196 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 4: the way too early mock, which I think will be 197 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 4: for like Monday taking a look. We're doing a full 198 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 4: on draft and Cal did not go in the first round, 199 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 4: but he was a third pick in the second round, 200 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 4: and I think we're doing only twelve team on this, 201 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 4: so that is like a fifteen team first rounder wheel pick. 202 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: Like you guys said, I think, like I'm open to 203 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 4: it more than I've been before. I'm not into catchers, 204 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 4: especially drafting high. I'm usually a big fade. And if 205 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 4: you look at a lot of the catchers that are 206 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 4: not named Cal Raleigh that you got off the scrap 207 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 4: heap or the wire, that have Ivan Herrera, Agustin Ramirez, 208 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 4: I mean, you go down the list, it's huge values. 209 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 4: But he is different because when he is not catching, 210 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 4: he's out there every single day. Dhing. I still don't 211 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: know if I would take him that early in the 212 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 4: second but I do think that wheel of the second 213 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 4: third is a spot I'd like, but I don't think 214 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: I'll get him because I think he is a lockdown 215 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 4: top twenty player. 216 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: Next year, his RPV is going to be off the 217 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: chart though, because he's got twice as many home runs 218 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: as the next catcher. He has got one hundred and 219 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: nine runs score compared to eighty nine William Contreras. And 220 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: believe it or not, like William Contreras ended up scoring 221 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: eighty nine runs for everybody complaining about William Conrreres most 222 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: of the year, so that ended up coming back around 223 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: the second half of the season. It's it is a 224 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: stunning accomplishment, a studding year for him. I want to 225 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: talk about some of our favorite players that really kind 226 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: of you know, carried our teams this year. I know 227 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: my home league, I made it to made it to 228 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: the LCS, did not get to the World Series, lost there, 229 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: got blown out, what are you gonna do? You know happens. 230 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: But two guys really stood out for me is like 231 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: this was the year that I was so happy to 232 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: have both these guys on that team. And we talked 233 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: about these guys all draft season and especially early on 234 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: how aggressive to be on them in early going via 235 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: trade or via waiver wire. And for me, it's Nick 236 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: Kurtz who ended up with a spectacular season. I think 237 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: you look back at Nick Kurtz and another couple of 238 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: home runs yesterday, right, we just kind of, you know, 239 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, this is just what I'm gonna do, 240 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: or I'm just gonna continue to hit home runs at 241 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: a ridiculous pace. A trift season for him. And then 242 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 1: Junior Camonaro another one too, where I think you look 243 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: back at the Cameron Narrow season forty four homers, one 244 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: hundred and nine RBI Welsh. I mean, to me, those 245 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: were my guys like that. I just said, look, these 246 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: are my dudes. And Camnaro again last year very disapporning 247 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: this year, very slow star. People were really panicking in April, 248 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: people were trolling you about junior Cameronnaro. Meanwhile, I'm like, 249 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: I was a Junior Camonaro guy. And then there was 250 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: Kurt I don't know, but Kurts ending up with you know, 251 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: a short season because he did miss some time and 252 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: he came up you know later in was it April 253 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: or beginning of May, I can't remember, but Nick Kurtz 254 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: ending up with thirty five homers, hitting two ninety three 255 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: and Ony ten ops. I mean, those are two guys 256 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: next year that are going to be I think, highly 257 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: coveted cornerstone pieces for years to come in fantasy leagues. 258 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you want me to rock a couple of 259 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 4: my guys. 260 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Or you could talk about how wonderful Nick Kurtz 261 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: is too. I mean that's fine. 262 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 4: I'm I'm a huge Obviously in the Nick Kurtz, I 263 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 4: was trying to promote as much as I possibly can, 264 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 4: and now he's looking like close to a first round pick. 265 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 4: I mean, if you want to talk about moments on 266 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 4: this show, by the way, all time moment was that 267 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 4: guy coming in and screaming at me about forcing him 268 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: to draft Camon Earra like he was like mad? He what? Like, 269 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: there's like little banter where see you guys think you're 270 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 4: coming in and being funny and then you're you're not, 271 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 4: and then you're like, whoops, my bad, and then you 272 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 4: know there are people that are coming in hot. He 273 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 4: was coming in hot and we were I was like 274 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 4: what and called him out on it, and then it's 275 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 4: just look at this now, and then yeah, we had 276 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 4: the Carlos Wonky two guys I'll throw out to you 277 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 4: that I think are interesting. The highlight to me one hitter. 278 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 4: I know it kind of tapered off, but just to 279 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 4: you know, we talked about it in the preseason. Pete 280 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 4: Crow Armstrong was one that I had highlighted as like 281 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: a big breakout that I think we might have done 282 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 4: a review of what that show looked like. Not a 283 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 4: ton of ton of hits, but I did put Pete 284 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 4: Crow Armstrong and he's close to finishing with a twenty 285 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 4: nine to thirty five season. And then I'm just gonna 286 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 4: throw this out to you. This guy one hundred and 287 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 4: forty innings not expected this year, a sub for era, 288 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 4: which is really impressive and well over a six game 289 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 4: stretch of being good. Let's give a hat tip to 290 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 4: jack Lighter mister Joe Piez a Pieway era one hundred 291 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 4: and forty innings finishing out the year getting six. I mean, 292 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 4: I see some stretches in here with quality starts. Looks 293 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: a little bit less nepowie and a little bit more 294 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 4: usable he does. 295 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: I can't wait to draft him next year. I have 296 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: so many shares of the jack Lider next year. You 297 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: know it's funny. Pee Crow Armstrong a guy that we 298 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: talked about and he was one of my cell highs 299 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: at the break because of those numbers against left handed 300 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: pitching and some of those other deeper stats. Last fifty 301 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: nine games for Pete Crow, four home runs, twenty RBI, 302 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: hit just two oh seven with a five ninety four 303 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: ops after the break. Those are some dreadful numbers. We're 304 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: talking like full off the map kind of numbers. So 305 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: he's going to be a really, I think, divisive guy 306 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: next year because I'm sure that the cost you got 307 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: him this year. He was a league winner anyway, especially 308 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: in season long. He gave you everything you could have 309 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: possibly asked for and more in return. But next year 310 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: it's going to be at cost, and that cost is 311 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: going to be fascinating. Joe Rico twenty twenty five. As 312 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: Oprah always like to talk about her favorite things, what 313 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: were some of your favorite things, hitters, pitchers, whatever you'd 314 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: like to discuss here on the show today. 315 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: So the first thing I'll bring up and just put 316 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: a ball on it for the year is Jacob de Gram. 317 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 2: I was very, very bullish on de Gram to the 318 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: point where I got two bullush on him, and I 319 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: had him as my number one starting pitcher into the season. 320 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 2: The reason for that is because I thought the strikeouts 321 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: were still going to be higher. I thought we'd see 322 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: a thirty plus percent strikeout right from Jake, and I 323 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 2: think if he had got that number, we might have 324 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: seen him as a top two, three four starting pitcher. 325 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: I was overly bullish, and I think that, you know, 326 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 2: I can kind of try and take my little victory 327 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: lap because he was good. But at the same time, 328 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: I overestimated Jacob de Grom, So I don't want to 329 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: go all out and say, like, look at Meliko smart 330 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: I am because I overestimated him, and I think I 331 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: need to just put a bow on that he had 332 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: a great year. I don't think anybody who drafted Jacob 333 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: d Grom because of me is upset about it. But 334 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: I was also a little bit too high on Jake. 335 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: Great season from him, and. 336 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: He was he hadn't pitched in so long, Joe. So 337 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: in the last sixty innings for de Grom, eleven starts 338 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: there seventy two strikeouts, still just thirteen walks. He had 339 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: a point nine to four whip. I mean, look, it 340 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: was some games where maybe he just ran out of gas, 341 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: but I think that's just a fatigue. Don't you think 342 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: of not pitching for also years a full season. 343 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 4: No, but also like he changed as a pitcher. That's 344 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 4: a big thing that ended up happening. And I think 345 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: that's the crux of it, is like he went from 346 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 4: being this just gas hand pitcher where it's fastballs and 347 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 4: sliders all day long. He started throwing the change up. 348 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 4: He dialed it back down. That allowed him to go 349 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 4: deeper into games. I think he had dropped some velo 350 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 4: as well, like he figured out a maintenance plan and 351 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: how to still be good, and that was at the 352 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 4: expense of some of the strikeouts, but he was still 353 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 4: a really great picture. I mean, can you imagine telling 354 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 4: anybody that de Grom would have had one hundred and 355 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 4: seventy innings at the end of this year. Everyone would 356 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 4: have lost their mind. And I know, yeah, but it happened. 357 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: It ended up happening, and he just altered who he 358 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: was as a pitcher and it really worked out. And 359 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 4: I think this is the formula moving forward. So he's 360 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 4: not going to be a number one I don't think. 361 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 4: I think he can sniff that conversation. But next year, 362 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 4: the conversation around him is going to be fascinating because 363 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 4: it's like he is less of a strikeout equity guy, 364 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 4: but he was able to stay healthy. And you know, 365 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 4: we've seen pictures do this like Ferlander did it in 366 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 4: his career. Kershaw kind of did it where you know, 367 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 4: they're getting older and they've got to like change something, 368 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 4: and we'll see did that change by de Gram a 369 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 4: couple more years, and I think he's a lot more 370 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 4: fantasy relevant. So it was a good call. He's not 371 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 4: the number one, but like you said, no one's gonna 372 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 4: be pissed about it, and he's just a he's a 373 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 4: new guy. He's a new man. 374 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: Also, speaking of new you had a lot of young 375 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: pitchers here in the month of September pop off. So 376 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: if a lot of teams were out of their playoffs 377 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: and not paying attention, you know you had the Noel McClain, 378 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: who in five starts in the month of September start 379 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: got thirty six guys. Now you've had Kate Horton with 380 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: a terrific second half, emmittt Sheehan pitching to a sub 381 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: one five era in his last twenty four innings. You've 382 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: got the kids in Boston, you got your Savage showing up. 383 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 4: I got one for you, Joey that I don't know 384 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 4: you're gonna do. He is like a mascot of our 385 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 4: of our show this year, Bubba Chandler, we talked about 386 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 4: so so damn much and the Pirates really dropped the ball. 387 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 4: But also it might have been about the stuff. Bubba 388 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 4: Chendler came out when he finally made his debut, was 389 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 4: the twenty second of August comes out in relief. 390 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: He was great. 391 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 4: They put him in this relief kind of situation where 392 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 4: he ended up in his first two starts, two starts, 393 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 4: you know, he was piggybacking. He went eight innings with 394 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 4: six strikeouts, one walk, and three hits. That was awesome. 395 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 4: Then they put him in a starting role, gets absolutely 396 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 4: blown out. And this is why I'm saying this, because 397 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 4: this is important. Guy's got a four and a half 398 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 4: era right now. But he got blown up in that 399 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 4: Milwaukee in his very first start. Then he bounced back 400 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 4: in his next two starts. He's gone eleven innings with 401 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 4: thirteen strikeouts, three hits, no walks, one earn run and 402 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 4: he even went five innings no hit during that. Bubba 403 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,479 Speaker 4: Chandler looks sneaky because everybody who's kind of out on him. 404 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 4: Everyone's got this fatigue and his numbers are going to 405 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 4: be inflated by that one his very first major league 406 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 4: start where he got blown out. But his fastball looks incredible. 407 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 4: His confidence is back. That's a dude that I don't 408 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 4: know how people are going to treat him in the offseason. 409 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 4: But the end, I mean, you know, like you said, 410 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 4: Nolan McClain, I think has been one of the more 411 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 4: incredible ones. But Bubba Chandler, in the hype and the 412 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 4: stuff that's out there, I think has put himself in 413 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 4: a really good position for next year. In that big 414 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 4: grouping of amazing young Pidgi Joanah Tong had had a 415 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 4: run just great. 416 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know Tong Tongue was so dominant the meer leagues. 417 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm concerned with him too, Like is this just fatigue? 418 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: Is it just intimidation? You know, he's got He's had 419 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: some moments and then some other ones where he's gotten 420 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: his doors blown off. I'm still very much in on 421 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 1: Tong for next year. Joe, Who were the young pitchers 422 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: that really stood out to you here in the second 423 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: half that you are going to be very aggressive on 424 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. 425 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 2: One guy who is kind of in the same boat 426 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 2: of there was one blow up start that kind of 427 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 2: ruins the whole line is Kaid Cavali, who's been somebody 428 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: that I've been starting in a lot of leagues down 429 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 2: the stretch. 430 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: Here, the strikeouts have not been great. 431 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: It's like a seventeen percent strikeout rate for twenty three era. 432 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: Doesn't look that great on the surface, but really all 433 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: that damage came in that Yankee start seven earned runs 434 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: over two and a third. 435 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 3: Every other start this year has been. 436 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 2: At least five innings with three or fewer earned runs 437 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: outside of his very first start, So I'm interested in 438 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: Kaiate cavally. If I'm looking ahead to next year, I 439 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: don't think that he's going to be too expensive because 440 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: of the surface stats will keep some people away. The 441 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 2: stuff grades out very well. He limits hard contact better 442 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: than almost anybody. Three percent barrel rate, thirty nine percent 443 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 2: hard hit rate against a lot of the underlying data 444 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: is really really supportive for him and. 445 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 3: The Nationals as a whole. 446 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 2: I think, you know, I was expecting a better year 447 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: from them this year, but I think they're trending in 448 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 2: the right direction, so it could be a better team 449 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. 450 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 3: As well. 451 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 4: One thing to look for and sorry you jump at this, 452 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 4: but Joe, you're gonna be doing the pitching profiles here 453 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 4: very shortly for the Black Books. You're gonna be dialed 454 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 4: into pitching. Just a theory thought for next season is 455 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 4: that I think there's going to be this glut of 456 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 4: upside that's going to exist, and that I usually don't 457 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 4: feel like we have that because none of these rookies 458 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 4: are gonna vault themselves into being like top twenty or 459 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 4: top twenty five pitches for the most part, Like Miserowski 460 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 4: is a different story. Chase Burns had a so he'll 461 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 4: bounce back. But my point here is is you're gonna 462 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 4: have the Bubba's, the mcclains, the Treyas savages. You're gonna 463 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 4: have this group of these pictures. 464 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: A strategy, I feel, yeah, but no, but kind of 465 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: just hey, I'm gonna make up pitching late and you're 466 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: just gonna keep taking. 467 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 4: Shots kind of. But my point to this is is 468 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 4: like all of those guys of this crazy upside are 469 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 4: going to exist, and it might be something where you 470 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 4: can avoid the pitching at the top of the draft 471 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 4: and then you can take some of those boring guys, 472 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 4: the Logan webs, the Joe Ryan's, I mean, Perul de 473 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 4: vaulted himself up. You take a couple guys that are 474 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 4: just fine with high, high floors, and then you can 475 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 4: take your shot on upside with some of these pitchers 476 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 4: in later rounds like Bubba and everybody that get pressed, 477 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 4: and that might be a really good winning strategy instead 478 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 4: of having high investment on pitching. So we're always pushing 479 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 4: away high investing on pitching for the most part. You know, 480 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 4: if you take Schoogle and Skiins, that's fine, but there 481 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 4: might be even more reason if you want to kind 482 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 4: of go all out take those floor guys when everybody 483 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 4: else is trying to have fun and being like, no 484 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 4: I want you know, Garrett Crochet. Now in the first round, 485 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 4: you just get some floor guys and you might be 486 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 4: able to get some winners here in the bubbas. And 487 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 4: there are guys that are going to come up next 488 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 4: year which we will be talking the crap out of 489 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 4: in the off season, of the prospects that you're gonna need. 490 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: I love how Matt is trolling me in the chat, 491 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: because I'm sure Matt knows the two thousand and seven 492 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: and two thousand and eight collapses. The Mets happened to 493 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: be against the Marlins, and of course who were playing 494 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: this weekend the Marlins. Now luckily it's not at home, 495 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: so maybe that's the exercising of the demons. We shall see. 496 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: Joel Rico help pop a j out here? Uh starting 497 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: picture worth streaming today or tomorrow. You got Rogers against 498 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: the Yankees. What a season he's had, JACONI also another 499 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: strong season from him early at Detroit. So what do 500 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: you think about these options? 501 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 3: Here? Hey yo? 502 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 2: He even threw it a hey yo.

I enjoyed it too much. 520 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: They do it too much. You gotta calm down a 521 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: little bit. And then the radio of the YouTube. 522 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: Damn it, Papa Jay. Apologies for derailing that conversation, but 523 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: I think it's gotta be I think, I know, I 524 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: know what. I think it's got to be Trevor Rodgers. Man, 525 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: But the way he's been rolling, you know, I like 526 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: slight Chaconi. Texas has been pis poor and Early gives 527 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 2: me a little bit of pause. 528 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: I love that expression. 529 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 2: But I think it's got to be Trevor Rodgers. The 530 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 2: fact that Trevor Rodgers is even available for streaming is 531 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 2: rather remarkable, but I would go with I agree. 532 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 4: But I want to also point out the Tigers just 533 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 4: got what their first win in like nine games or 534 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 4: eight games? They have been absolutely atrocious. Early has been disgusting. 535 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 4: I don't know if you want to put your season 536 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 4: on a rookie Yankees are The Yankees are vying for this, 537 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 4: like this division title, So I'm not trying to make 538 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 4: a case against Rogers is the best picture here. But 539 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 4: I also think Early is someone to consider. If Red 540 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 4: Sox do a little pounding on the Tigers because they 541 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 4: have been bad, bad, bad, all. 542 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: Right, So what was your biggest disappointment of twenty twenty five? 543 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: Joy Rinco, You have a player that you were all 544 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: in on that really just oh yes, just let you 545 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: down at the end of the day. 546 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,479 Speaker 3: Who was that? That would be mister Jonathan India. 547 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: I drafted him as much as I drafted My three 548 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 2: most drafted players were de gram Yes, Bashett Yes, and 549 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: Jonathan India, who I had on almost every team. I 550 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 2: thought it was a late source of runs. I thought 551 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: he was gonna steal a little bit leading off in 552 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 2: Kansas City. Eight homers, no steals, two thirty three, batting 553 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 2: average forty two rivs. A huge l, A massive, massive 554 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 2: l on Jonathan India. It didn't cost me a ton 555 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,959 Speaker 2: base where he was getting drafted, but I have him everywhere. 556 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: So that one has been like, really my personally most 557 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 2: disappointing win of the year. 558 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: I think, Well, for me, it's Sandy al Contra. I thought, 559 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, he looked sharpened spring. I thought we would 560 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: be all right here. 561 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 3: You know. 562 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you know, maybe he's not going to 563 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: give me, you know, as many innings as I want 564 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: this year, maybe we'll am or something like that, but 565 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: the evings I'll get will be quality. And he ended 566 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: up with a ten to twelve record and a five 567 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: point four eight ERA, a one point two eight whip, 568 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: only one hundred and thirty nine strikeouts and one hundred 569 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: and sixty seven innings. Again like, he wasn't a guy 570 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: of super costs, but he was a guy that was 571 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: very aggressive on him and McClanahan. McClanahan, obviously we know 572 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: what happened there, but our contract to me was the 573 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: one that really hurt. I knew what I was getting 574 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: into with McClanahan, having multiple Tommy John's and all the 575 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: risk that was there. With Sandy, it felt like, oh, 576 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: buying back in. Everybody's pushing away. This is the guy 577 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: it didn't work out. How about for you? Is there 578 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: a guy he just say? If I had to do 579 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: it all over again, I wouldn't have Yeah. 580 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 4: I mean there's a couple like the Fantasy Side. Strider 581 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 4: really stands out to me and Cease just making excuses 582 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 4: for seesaw years. Strider just did not have his stuff 583 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 4: and that was it. I would have said McLanahan too, 584 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 4: because I was definitely into buying on him. Streider just 585 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 4: never got back to being that main guy. This one 586 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 4: is not fantasy ish relevant. It's way more betting relevant. 587 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 4: And I only say this because we we are able 588 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 4: to cut this guy in the first week and a half. 589 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 4: But I have reminders all season long about Michael Tolia 590 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 4: and my dumb ass take of Michael Tolia because I 591 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 4: got this this season long little bit with. 592 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: The power chicks dig the long ball, and. 593 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 4: So I welsh. I fell in love with a guy 594 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 4: that was close to forty homers, who had a two 595 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 4: forty expected batting average thirty point increase in Colorado. I did. 596 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 4: I love the long ball, and I got all these 597 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 4: like little sprinkly things in our hot Takes episode, our breakout, 598 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 4: I had all this Tolia stuff out there. Blah black, 599 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 4: it's gross. It's such a stupid take of mine. Never again. 600 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 4: But yeah, I think like Strider and ceased for the 601 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 4: first one you said that came to mind where it 602 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 4: was like, man, yeah, Sandy's a good one, like these 603 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 4: pictures that we were giving the benefit of the doubt 604 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 4: and it never materialized. 605 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly some good, some bad, some ugly, all of 606 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: the above, and you know, it's it's very cathartic to 607 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: sit here at the end of the year too and 608 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: think about draft season. How excited we all were. I 609 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: gotta tell you the truth, like I can't wait till 610 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: next week to start digging into the I cannot wait 611 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: to start writing black book stuff. I can't and I'll 612 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: be on Amazon December fifteenth. As always. I can't wait 613 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: to start working with all you guys again on that. 614 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: I can't wait for our off season coverage. I'm very 615 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: excited about all of that, and I'm excited that we 616 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: have off season coverage. That baseball is not the red 617 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: headed stepchild anymore fantasy pros, And it's really because of 618 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: all the Peanuts and the Crackerjacks who watched this show, 619 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: who followed us to YouTube live, who followed us to Twitch, 620 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: who followed us everywhere we went, no matter where it 621 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: made sense, and it's been awesome. It's been a phenomenal ride. 622 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: It's by far, I think, the best baseball community. And 623 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that, and I don't care what anybody 624 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: has to tell me. I won't hear differently, because it's 625 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: a baseball community that understands that we can be smart 626 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: and have good conversations, have passionate disagreements, but also have 627 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: a really good time doing it, and bring some entertainment. 628 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 4: To where we can wear we wear masks like these 629 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 4: are things that we can do and still have a 630 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 4: baseball show. And I'm gonna I'm going to second lot 631 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 4: of that stuff. Everybody keep tuned because we've already got 632 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 4: episodes planned for October.

We're probably gonna do some episodes together. 637 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 4: So we are talking from October starting in we're already 638 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 4: hitting baseball hard. It was weird, like the season's not 639 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 4: even over in three days we're talking about it. But 640 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 4: it's just more coverage probably than we've had maybe even 641 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 4: in the past or you know, collectively to last year. 642 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 4: But we're rocking with it and hopefully keep keep I 643 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 4: have some things to live up to jokes. I know 644 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 4: we're coming to the end here, but like the most 645 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 4: important thing, and Matt said, he's tailed with me.
